Suppose you are going to study abroad and share an apartment with John, a local student, write him an email to
1) tell him about your living habits, and 2) ask for advice about living there.
You should write neatly on the ANSWER SHEET.
Do not sign your own name at the end of the letter. Use “Li Ming” instead. Do not write the address. (10 points)
Dear John,
I’m glad to hear from you. How have you been these days? The purpose of this email is to tell you about my living habits.
First, I never drink or smoke. I do not stay up late either. Instead, I keep a balanced diet and go to bed before 11 o’clock at night, because I believe burning the midnight oil is harmful to my health. Second, I like to keep my things clean. It is obvious that living in a messy environment results in a chaotic life.
On this topic, could you please offer me some proposals as regards living in our city? I’m sure that we can get along well with each other, and our university life will be one of the best times in our lives. (128 words)
Yours, Li Ming
约翰：
很高兴收到你的来信。近来过得怎么样？我写这封邮件的目的是为了告诉你我的生活习惯。
首先，我从不饮酒或吸烟，也从不熬夜。相反，我保持均衡的饮食，每晚 11 点之前睡觉，因为我相信熬夜对我的健康有害。其次，我喜欢保持整洁。显而易见，住在糟糕的环境中会导致混乱的生活。
最后，关于住在你们城市，你是否可以给我提出一些建议？我相信我们能够和睦相处， 而且我们的大学生活将成为我们人生中最美好的时光之一。

2008、2009 年国内轿车市场部分品牌市场份额示意图
（从左至右：国产品牌、日系品牌、美系品牌）
What is shown in the column chart above indicates that dramatic changes have taken place in the market shares of certain brands in the domestic car market from 2008 to 2009. During that period, there was a marked jump of 8% from 25% to 33% in the market shares of Chinese brands, while that of Japanese brands declined significantly, by 10% from 35% to 25%. At the same time, the percentage of American brands remained steady.
There are at least two fundamental causes accounting for these changes. On the one hand, advancements in science and technology have offered a technical foundation for the rapid development of the Chinese automobile industry by providing a material basis and technical means. Meanwhile, it’s not difficult to notice that these days national automobile companies in mounting numbers have turned to price promotions to boost sales. On the other hand, the dishonest words and behaviors of Japanese automobile corporations such as Toyota in recent years have cheapened their image and finally ruined their reputation.
8
To sum up, brands are intangible treasure. They amount to a product’s or a company’s reputation. Obviously, if the Chinese automobile industry wants to make continuous profits, what it needs is to try promotions that will reinforce Chinese brands’ images. (209 words)
上述柱状图中显示的数据表明，从 2008 年到 2009 年，国内轿车市场部分品牌市场份额发生了很大变化。在此期间，国产品牌的市场份额从 25%急剧上升到 33%，上升了 8 个百分点；而日系品牌的市场份额则从 35%急剧下降到 25%，下降了 10 个百分点。与此同时， 美系品牌所占的百分比保持平稳。
至少两点主要原因造成了上述变化。一方面，科技进步通过提供物质基础和技术手段， 为中国汽车产业的迅猛发展提供了技术基础。同时，不难发现，近年来越来越多的国产轿车公司大搞价格促销来提升销量。另一方面，近年来丰田等日系轿车公司的欺诈言行损害了其形象，并最终毁坏了其声誉。
总之，品牌是无形的财富。它们与一种产品或一家公司的声誉密不可分。显而易见，如果中国轿车产业想要继续赢利，需要尝试提升国产品牌形象的促销方式。

某高校学生兼职情况
The column chart clearly reveals the statistics of students taking part-time jobs in a certain university. According to the survey, there has been a steady increase from 67.77% to 71.93% for students from freshmen to juniors, while the percentage of seniors working part-time jumps markedly to 88.24%.
While part-time employment does have the potential to negatively affect a college student’ s studies, it can also be good for their careers. It’s obvious that doing a part-time job can
9
adversely affect students’studies because it drains their energy. Part-time employment can also be detrimental to students by damaging their incentive to study. Despite the above disadvantages, working part-time on campus also offers several potential benefits. For one, it can help students to better understand their preferences or to “test out” a possible career direction. Additionally, companies seeking to recruit recent graduates will give preference to those with part-time experience.
In the end, the impact of part-time work on student’s academic performance depends on their ability to maintain balance between their study and the part-time job. If students are able to manage their time effectively and secure a part-time position in a field related to their studies or interests, the job is certain to yield a positive impact. (208 words)
这幅柱状图清晰反映了某高校学生兼职情况的数据。调查显示，从大一到大三，兼职学生的比率从 67.77%稳步上升到 71.93%，而大四兼职学生的百分比则急剧上升到 88.24%。
尽管兼职可能会对大学生的学习有些负面影响，但也对他们的未来工作有益。很明显， 兼职会影响学生学业，因为兼职会消耗学生的精力。兼职对学生不利的另一方面是，它会破坏学生的学习动力。尽管有以上弊端，但在大学阶段做兼职还是有很多好处的。首先，兼职能让学生更好地了解自己的喜好或检验一种可能的职业方向。其次，那些招聘应届毕业生的公司会优先选择有兼职经验的大学生。
总之，兼职对大学生学业的影响取决于他们是否能够平衡花在学习和兼职上的精力。假如他们能有效管理自己的时间，找到符合自己所学或有兴趣的兼职岗位，那么兼职必定会对他们产生积极的影响。
