II. Topic: Media are said to affect ú different ways. Discuss the matter in a composition.
I think the media pay too much attention to the private lives of famous people. Television, newspapers,
magazines and web sites dig up all kinds of past bad actions. They say that these are true reflections of a
person's character. This may be true if they occurred only a few years before, but some of these are things
people did as teenagers. People in their forties are expected to explain something they did when they were
fifteen. If they killed someone, obviously that's more than a youthful mistake. Usually, though, these incidents
involve experiments with drugs or being reckless in a car. They're not something that the public needs to know.

New York. During the reception, he was assassinated while shaking hands with some of the guests. John F.
Kennedy was assassinated in 1963 in Dallas only three years after his election.
Three years after his election in 1920, Warren G, Harding died in office. Although it was never proved,

only man to serve so long a term. He had contracted polio in 1921 and eventually died of the illness in 1945.
Ronald Reagan, who was elected in 1980 and reelected four years later, suffered an assassination attempt

native found gold in a creek that, of course, is now called Gold Creek. (2) The city itself is named for Joseph
Juneau, one of the miners, while the other miner, Richard Harris, lent his name to the Harris Ming District.
Their find led to the discovery of a lode of gold quartz that has supported mining to present times. (3)
Prospectors arrived in the 1890s as a result of gold strikes in the Klondike and near Nome. Many took
steamship to Skagway in Southeast Alaska, where they began their trek by land to the Klondike. (4)The
discovery of gold at Anvil Creek in 1898 brought thousands of fortune seekers to the Nome area; gold was
later discovered on Nome’s Bering Sea beaches, where it is still found today. Prospectors can be seen
straining gravel in their sluice boxes along the shore, perhaps just hoping to find enough gold to pay for their
annual summer trips to Nome. A major commercial gold dredging operation was conducted offshore in the
1990s.
The gold rush gave many communities in Alaska their start. Gold was discovered in Fairbanks, for
example, in 1902, and it became an important supply post as well as center of mining activity where major
operations continue today.

II. TOPIC: Write to suggest measures governments and individuals can take to reduce the global warming.
It was reported recently by the U.S scientists that the volume of ice on the North Pole is now the
smallest within 36 last years. That is caused by the global warming process. Various other bad things human
beings are now facing are also related to the warming of the Earth climate. The fact is that we are the main
agents who are responsible for the worsening of the nature. So, individuals and governments throughout the
world should co-operate to stop the natural environment worsening process.
Each individual first must be more aware of the need to protect our environment for not only our own
lives but also the next generations. The first easy thing one can do is to save the energy by using less heat and
air-conditioning, using energy-efficient products, or even driving less. Another way is to recycle paper,
plastic, newspaper, glass, etc. When the recycling is practiced, it helps to reduce the carbon dioxide in the
atmosphere. The other thing is to plant more trees because as we know, trees can absorb carbon dioxide and
give off oxygen. The fact is that the mission is not done by one or a group of persons so we should educate the
community and encourage everyone to join hands to recycle and conserve energy.
Countries all over the world, rich or poor, developed, developing or underdeveloped should cooperate to better the situation. First of all, governments are better to inform their citizens about the global
warming facts and the mishaps that people may face if the process goes on. Then, in order to reduce the
emissions, governments should impose heavier taxes on the produce of greenhouse gas emissions. Factories
and companies that over-emit may not be allowed to operate or even be closed. Moreover, bigger sums of
money must be spent on researches discovering the alternative sources of energy. Additionally, stricter laws
on environmental problems should be passed and enforced to better the surroundings for people to live.
After all, the work to recover the environment and to stop the global warming process cannot be done
overnight or completed by one person or one nation, we, human beings all over the world, must co-act to
share the missions. Though this is the international millennium goals, each individual can do something now
to help to realize man’s purpose.

Probably the most famous film commenting on the twentieth-century technology is Modern Times, made
in 1936. Charlie Chaplin was motivated to make the film by a reporter who, while interviewing him, happened
to describe the working conditions in industrial Detroit. Chaplin was told that healthy young farm boys were
lured to the city to work on automotive assembly lines. Within four or five years, these young men’s health
was destroyed by the stress of work in the factories. {lure: attract or tempt}
The film opens with a shot of a mass of sheep making their way down a crowded ramp.
Abruptly, the film shifts to a scene of factory workers jostling one another on their way to a factory.
However, the rather bitter note of criticism in the implied comparison is not sustained. It is replaced by a
gentle note of satire. Chaplin prefers to entertain rather than lecture.
Scenes of factory interiors account for only about one-third of Modern Times, but they contain some of
the most pointed social commentary as well as the most comic situations. No one who has seen the film can
ever forget Chaplin vainly trying to keep pace with the fast-moving conveyor belt, almost losing his mind in
the process. Another popular scene involves an automatic feeding machine brought to the assembly line so
that workers need not interrupt their labor to eat. The feeding machine malfunctions, hurling food at Chaplin,
who is strapped in his position on the assembly line and cannot escape. This serves to illustrate people’s utter
helplessness in the face of machines that are meant to serve their basic needs.
Clearly, Modern Times has its faults, but it remains the best film treating technology within a social
context. It does not offer a radical social message, but it does accurately reflect the sentiment of many who

and have limited possibilities for the development of subsistence societies.
Contemporary hunter-gatherers may help us understand our prehistoric ancestors. We know from the
observation of modern hunter-gatherers in both Africa and Alaska that a society based on hunting and
gathering must be very mobile. While the entire community camps in a central location, a smaller party
harvests the food within a reasonable distance from the camp. When the food in the area has become
exhausted, the community moves on to exploit another site. We also notice seasonal migration patterns
evolving for most hunter-gatherers, along with a strict division of labor between the sexes. These patterns of
behavior may be similar to those practised by mankind during the Paleolithic Period.
