简答题

Who am I, and where do I belong? As college students, we bounce back and forth between home and school, but most of us won't be living at either of those places in a couple of years. We'll be creating new lives for ourselves, working in places we did not expect to be in, adjusting to the rhythm of life in other places with other people.

And college is a unique time when this autonomy becomes most apparent. It is a four-year period that is sandwiched between an 18-year period of living with family and post-college life, which generally involves an eventual settling down with a job, life partner and family. College is the transition space between those two worlds, but it is also a world unto itself. It is the time in our lives when we are the most free to not belong – to not completely belong to anything or anyone or any place, but to ourselves and the blossoming independence of our identities.

English is the most widely spoken language in the history of our planet, used in some way by at least one out of every seven human beings around the world. English has acquired the largest vocabulary of all the world's languages, perhaps as many as two million words. However, it is now time to face the fact that English is a crazy language – perhaps the most crazy of all languages.

Sometimes you have to believe that all English speakers should be committed to an asylum for the verbally insane.

If the truth be told, all languages are a little crazy. As Walt Whitman might proclaim, they contradict themselves. That's because language is invented, not discovered, by boys and girls and men and women, not computers. As such, language reflects the creative and fearful asymmetry of the human race, which, of course, isn't really a race at all.

American hospitality begins at home – especially when it involves food. Most Americans agree that good home cooking beats restaurant food anyway. When invited for a meal, you might ask, "Can I bring anything?" Unless it's a potluck, where everyone brings a dish, the host will probably respond, "No, just yourself." For most informal dinners, you should wear comfortable, casual clothes. Plan to arrive on time, or else call to inform your host of the delay. During the dinner conversation, it's customary to compliment the host on the wonderful meal. Of course, the biggest compliment is to eat lots of food!

Americans usually like to have advance notice when people come to see them. Only very close friends drop by unannounced. This is especially true if the guests want to stay for a few days. Here's a good rule of thumb for house guests: Short stays are best. As one 19th-century French writer put it, "The first day a man is a guest, the second a burden, the third a pest." Even relatives usually don't stay for several weeks at a time. While you're staying with an American family, try to keep your living area neat and tidy. Your host family will appreciate your consideration. And they may even invite you back!

China’s sports have undergone several thousand years of development. But theywere not regarded as an undertaking of the state until 1949, when the People’s Republic of China was founded. Now a nation-wide network for physical culture has been set up and expenditure on this field has been included in the state budget. With the concerted efforts of sports workers and athletes, gratifying achievements have been made in physical culture and sports in the past 50 years. Today sports activities are popular both in urban and rural areas with 300 million people taking part regularly. Thanks to the rising standards of living and the development of medical care and sports, the health condition of the Chinese people has greatly improved. The average life expectancy of the people reached 71.88 years in 1981 as against 50 years before 1949. We have, once and for all, got rid of the label “The Sick Man of East Asia ”.
