  Everybody dances. If you have 1 swerved to avoid stepping on a crack in the sidewalk, you have danced. If you have every kneeled to pray, you have danced. For these actions have figured importantly 2 the history of dance. Dance goes 3 to the beginning of civilization- 4 the tribe where natives danced to get 5 they wanted. Primitive dance was 6 all practical, not the social dancing we know today. Natives approached dance with 7 seriousness as a way to help the tribe in the crucial process 8 survival. Dance was believed to be the 9 direct way to repel locusts, to 10 rain to fall, to insure that a male heir would be born, and 11 guarantee victory in a forthcoming battle.

  

  Primitive 12 was generally done by many people moving in the same manner and direction. 13 all dances had leaders, solo dances 14 rare. Much use was made of 15 part of the body. And so 16 were these tribe dances that, if a native 17 miss a single step, he would be put to death 18 the spot. Fortunately, the same rigid 19 that governed the lives of these people do not apply in the 20 relaxed settings of today's disco.

  Text 1

  

  The story that traces life from sea to land then into the multiple niches that exist there for a great variety of living things is a fascinating one, but far too detailed for our purposes. One key point for us in that story is the emergence of the biological class of animals that are called mammals. Mammals have a number of features that distinguish them from the reptiles from which they developed. They are warm blooded; that is, they have a system of temperature control that keeps the body at a constant temperature. Mammals have a set of teeth of different shapes that serve different functions such as cutting, gouging, and grinding. Young mammals spend their earliest days of development shielded within the mother's body and are then born alive, rather than hatching from eggs. In addition, after birth they are nourished by milk provided by the mother's mammary glands. The enforced association between mother and infant provides an opportunity for learning that does not exist for those kinds of creatures that are hatched from eggs long after their parents have departed from the scene. Young mammals play something that amphibians and reptiles never do which provides additional learning opportunities.

  

  The foregoing list leaves little doubt that we are mammals. There are, of course, a great many kinds of mammals, most of which developed after the great extinction of dinosaurs and other reptiles about 65 million years ago that opened opportunities for the few small mammals that were already in existence. One of the groups of mammals that resulted was a biological order called primates which includes monkeys, apes, humans, and some smaller creatures familiar only to ardent zoogoers. Primates share a number of behavioral features that have played important roles in their evolutionary development. Most primates are arboreal; that is, they spend their lives in and among trees. Their tree-climbing and tree-dwelling habits impose needs that are reflected in primate anatomy. Although diet varies from species to species, many primates are largely vegetarian. But they can eat and digest meat, and some species vary their diets of leaves, shoots, and fruits by eating insects, birds' eggs, and even small animals. Primates are hand-feeders, depending on their hands both to collect food and to get it into their mouths. Perhaps the most important feature of their behavior is that primates are social animals. Their genetics, habits, and even their survival are geared to living in groups. Although human beings have come to have a way of life very different from that of typical primates, the basic primate adaptation provided prehuman with capabilities that allowed them to become culture-builders.

  

  The anatomical features that separate primates from other kinds of animals relate clearly to the way primates behave.

  The study of social science is more than the study of the individual social sciences. Although it is true that to be a good social scientist you must know each of those components, you must also know how they interrelate. By specializing too early, many social scientists can lose sight of the interrelationships that are so essential to understanding modern problems. That's why it is necessary to have a course covering all the social sciences. In fact, it would not surprise me if one day a news story such as the one above should appear.

  

  The preceding passage placed you in the future. To understand how and when social science broke up, you must go into the past. Imagine for a moment that you're a student in 1062, in the Italian city of Bologna, site of one of the first major universities in the western world. The university has no buildings. It consists merely of a few professors and students. There is no tuition fee. At the end of a professor's lecture, if you like it, you pay. And if you don't like it, the professor finds himself without students and without money. If we go back still earlier, say to Greece in the sixth century B. C., we can see the philosopher Socrates walking around the streets of Athens, arguing with his companions. He asks them questions, and then other questions, leading these people to reason the way he wants them to reason(this became known as the Socratic method).

  

  Times have changed since then; universities sprang up throughout the world and created colleges within the universities. Oxford, one of the first universities, now has thirty colleges associated with it, and the development and formalization of educational institutions has changed the roles of both students and faculty. As knowledge accumulated, it became more and more difficult for one person to learn, let alone retain, it all. In the sixteenth century one could still aspire to know all there was to know, and the definition of the renaissance man(people were even more sexist then than they are now)was of one who was expected to know about everything.

  

  Unfortunately, at least for someone who wants to know everything, the amount of information continues to grow exponentially while the size of the brain has grown only slightly. The way to deal with the problem is not to try to know everything about everything. Today we must specialize. That is why social science separated from the natural sciences and why it, in turn, has been broken down into various subfields, such as anthropology and sociology.

  

  26.What is the main idea of this text?

  

  a.social science is unified.

  

  b.social science is a newborn science.

  

  c.what is social science.

  

  d.specialization in social science is not good.

  

  27.What can we learn from the second paragraph?

  

  a.Socrates can be regarded as the first social scientist in the western world.

  

  b.the universities in Italy have no buildings.

  

  c.Socrates created the"Socratic method".

  

  d.Greece is not as civilized as Italy.

  

  28.Why does the author say"people were even more sexist then than they are now"?

  

  a.because they are so covetous that they want to know all there was to know.

  

  b.because it is the Renaissance"man", not Renaissance"woman"or"human".

  

  c.because no woman was formally educated at that time.

  

  d.because all renaissance men were men.

  

  29.What does the underlined word "exponentially" mean in the first sentence of the last paragraph?

  

  a. promisingly   b. continuously   c. drastically   d. raidly

  

  30.We can infer from the text that .

  

  a.social science is a united science, and cannot be divided into subfields

  

  b.social science may be further divided into smaller parts as the amount of knowledge and information expanding

  

  c.there may be a renaissance man in the future

  

  d.the best way to deal with the expansion of information is to know everything

  To what extent are the unemployed failing in their duty to society to work, and how far has the state an obligation to ensure that they have work to do?

  

  It is by now increasingly recognized that workers may be thrown out of work by industrial forces beyond their control, and that the unemployed are in some sense paying the price of the economic progress of the rest of the community. But concern with unemployment and the unemployed varies sharply. The issues of duty and responsibility were reopened and revitalized by the unemployment scare of 1971-2. Rising unemployment and increased sums paid out in benefits to the workless had reawakened controversies which had been inactive during most of the period of fuller employment since the war ended the depression. It looked as though in future there would again be too little work to go round, so there were arguments about how to produce more work, how the available work should be shared out, and who was responsible for unemployment and the unemployed.

  

  In 1972 there were critics who said that the state's action in allowing unemployment to rise was a faithless act, a breaking of the social contract between society and the worker. Yet in the main any contribution by employers to unemployment such as laying off workers in order to introduce technological changes and maximize profits-tended to be ignored. And it was the unemployed who were accused of failing to honour the social contract, by not fulfilling their duty to society to work. In spite of general concern at the scale to the unemployment statistics, when the unemployed were considered as individuals, they tended to attract scorn and threats of punishment. Their capacities and motivation as workers and their value as members of society became suspect. Of all the myths of the welfare state, stories of the work-shy and borrowers have been the least well-founded on evidence, yet they have proved the most persistent. The unemployed were accused of being responsible for their own workless condition, and doubts were expressed about the state's obligation either to provide them with the security of work or to support them through social security.

  

  Underlying the arguments about unemployment and the unemployed is a basic disagreement about the nature and meaning of work in society. To what extent can or should work be regarded as a service, not only performed by the worker for society but also made secure for the worker by the state, and supported if necessary? And apart from cash are there social pressures and satisfactions which cause individuals to seek and keep work, so that the workless need work rather than just cash?

  

  31.It is the author's belief that .

  

  a.unemployment must lead to inevitable depression of national economy

  

  b.the unemployed are the victims of economical and social development

  

  c.unemployment should be kept under the control of industrial forces

  

  d.the unemployed are not entitled to share the benefits from technological progress

  

  32.What the author proposes to examine is .

  

  a.how far the unemployed are to blame for their failure in working and how far it is the state's fault

  

  b.to what extent the state should insist on the unemployed working if they fail to do so

  

  c.whether being at work is a social duty which the state should ensure everybody carries out

  

  d.whether work should be obligatory, and if so, whether the state or the individual is responsible for enforced obligation

  

  33.The effect of the 1971-2 unemployment scare was to .

  

  a.make people think for the first time about the problem of the availability of work

  

  b.make concern for unemployment and the unemployed vary

  

  c.make the subject of unemployment controversial again

  

  d.show that there would in future be too little work to go round

  

  34.According to the author, in the 1971-2 crisis .

  

  a.the state and the employers were equally to blame for allowing unemployment to rise

  

  b.the unemployed did not fulfill their social duty to find jobs

  

  c.the role played by the employers in creating unemployment was not recognized

  

  d.the state was guilty of breaking the social contract by letting unemployment increase

  

  35.The basic disagreement about the nature and meaning of work in society rests on the problem of whether or not .

  

  a.the unemployed ought to be supported by society as a whole

  

  b.the state should recognize that people work for more than just money

  

  c.it is a service to provide people with work rather than cash

  

  d.the state's duty to provide work is as great as the individual's duty to work

  Successful business tend to continue implementing the ideas that made them successful. But in a rapidly changing world, ideas often become obsolete overnight. What worked in the past won't necessarily work in the future. In order to thrive in the future, you must constantly create new ideas for every aspect of your business. In fact, you must continually generate new ideas just to keep your head above water. Businesses that aren't creative about their future may not survive.

  

  Although Bill Gates is the richest, most successful man on the planet, he did not anticipate the Internet. Now he's scrambling to catch up. If Bill Gates can miss a major aspect of his industry, it can happen to you in your industry. Your business needs to continually innovate and create its future. Gates is now constantly worried about the future of Microsoft. Here's what he said in a recent interview in U.S. news world report: "Will we be replaced tomorrow? No. In a very short time frame, Microsoft is an incredibly strong company. But when you look to the two-to-three-year time frame, I don't think anyone can say with a straight face that any technology company has a guaranteed position. Not Intel, not Microsoft, not Compaq, not Dell, take any of your favorites. And that's totally honest."

  

  You may remember that in 1985 the cabbage patch kids dolls were the best selling toy on the market. But after Coleco industries introduced their sensational line of dolls they became complacent and didn't create any new toys worth mentioning. As a result, Coleco went bankrupt in 1988.

  

  The most successful businesses survive in the long term because they constantly reassess their situations and reinvest themselves accordingly. The 3M company has a 15 % rule: employees are encouraged to spend 15% of their time developing new ideas on any project they desire. It's no surprise, then, that 3M has been around since 1902.

  

  Most businesses are not willing to tear apart last year's model of success and build a new one. Here's a familiar analogy to explain why they are lulled into complacency, imagine that your business is like a pot of lobsters. To cook lobsters, you put them into a pot of warm water and gradually turn up the heat. The lobsters don't realize they're being cooked because the process is so gradual. As a result, they become complacent and die without a struggle. However, if you throw a lobster into the pot when the water is boiling, it will desperately try to escape. This lobster is not lulled by a slowly changing environment. It realizes instantly that it's ill a bad environment and takes immediate action to change its status.

  

  36.Judging from the context, "to keep your head above water"(paragraph 1) probably means .

  

  a.to be drown

  

  b.to keep out of financial difficulty

  

  c.to keep away from danger

  

  d.to protect you from water

  

  37.Why is gates now constantly worried about the future of Microsoft?

  

  a.because he is the richest, most successful man on the planet.

  

  b.because his company will be replaced tomorrow.

  

  c.because in a very short time frame, Microsoft is an incredibly strong company.

  

  d.because he doesn't think that any technology company has a guaranteed position.

  

  38.Coleco industries' case suggests that .

  

  a.the cabbage patch kids dolls were the best-selling toy on the market

  

  b.the cabbage patch kids dolls are sensational line of dolls

  

  c.complacency and lack of creation will ultimately ruin a business

  

  d.the most successful businesses survive in the long term

  

  39.According to this passage, the 3M company's success lies in its .

  

  a.constant reassessment of their situations

  

  b.reinvention

  

  c.15% rule

  

  d.being around since 1902

  

  40.By using the analogy of "throwing a lobster into a pot", the author tries to imply that .

  

  a.some managers are really foolish people

  

  b.it's cruel to cook lobsters

  

  c.people are tend to become complacent

  

  d.bad environment calls for immediate action

  In the following article, some sentences have been removed. For questions 41―45, choose the most suitable one from the list a―g to fit into each of the numbered blank. There are two extra choices, which do not fit in any of the gaps.

  

  Enlightenment is man's leaving his self-caused immaturity. Immaturity is the incapacity to use one's intelligence without the guidance of another.

  

  Such immaturity is self-caused if it is not caused by lack of intelligence, but by lack of determination and courage to use one's intelligence without being guided by another. Have the courage to use your own intelligence! Is therefore the motto of the enlightenment.

  

  Through laziness and cowardice a large part of mankind, even after nature has freed them from alien guidance, gladly remain immature. It is because of laziness and cowardice that it is so easy for others to usurp the role of guardians. It is so comfortable to be a minor! 41)___________________________________. The guardians who have kindly undertaken the supervision will see to it that by far the largest part of mankind, including the entire beautiful sex, should consider the step into maturity, not only as difficult but as very dangerous.

  

  After having made their domestic animals dumb and having carefully prevented these quiet creatures from daring to take any step beyond the lead-strings to which they have fastened them, these guardians then show them the danger which threatens them, should they attempt to walk alone. Now this danger is not really so very great; for they would presumably learn to walk after some stumbling. 42)______________________.

  

  It is difficult for the isolated individual to work himself out of the immaturity which has become almost natural for him. He has even become fond of it and for the time being is incapable of employing his own intelligence, because he has never been allowed to make the attempt. Statues and formulas, these mechanical tools of a serviceable use, or rather misuse, of his natural faculties, are the ankle-chains of a continuous immaturity. Whoever threw it off would make an uncertain jump over the smallest trench because he is not accustomed to such free movement. 43)__________________________________.

  

  44)_______________________________________. For there will always be some people who think for themselves, even among the self-appointed guardians of the great mass who, after having thrown off the yoke of immaturity themselves, will spread about them the spirit of a reasonable estimate of their own value and of the need for every man to think for himself……

  

  45)_____________________________________________. Through revolution, the abandonment of personal despotism may be engendered and the end of profit-seeking and domineering oppression may occur, but never a true reform of the state of mind. Instead, new prejudices, just like the old ones, will serve as the guiding reins of the great, unthinking mass.

  

  [a]a public can only arrive at enlightenment slowly.

  

  [b]but it is more nearly possible for a public to enlighten itself: this is even inescapable if only the public is given its freedom.

  

  [c]if I have a book which provides meaning for me, a pastor who has conscience for me, a doctor who will judge my diet for me and so on, then I do not need to exert myself. I do not have any need to think; if I can pay, others will take over the tedious job for me.

  

  [d]all that is required for this enlightenment is freedom; and particularly the least harmful of that may be called freedom, namely, the freedom for man to make public use of his reason in all matters.

  

  [e]however, an example of this kind intimidates and frightens people out of all further attempts.

  

  [f]much still prevents men from being placed in a position to use their own minds securely and well in matters of religion.

  

  [g]therefore there are only a few who have pursued a firm path and have succeeded in escaping from immaturity by their own cultivation of the mind.

  Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese. your translation should be written clearly on answer sheet 2. (10 points)

  

  There can be no doubt that the computer revolution has touched virtually every person in the country in some way or other.

  

  Nor can there be any doubt that it has brought tremendous improvements in productivity and efficiency. 46) Indeed, there are many tasks undertaken by computers that could not be done without them, and we have reached the point that the benefits of computerization are taken lot granted. Having accepted that computers are here to stay, what is the downside? 47) The most obvious answer is that because of increased efficiency, less people are needed and the loss of jobs, particularly in the service industries, has been enormous, with more job losses yet to come.

  

  However, on a more insidious note, many users have not realized how computers have introduced vulnerability to their business. If computers are soon a boon, how do we cope when something goes wrong?

  

  Computers have many uses, varying from pure accounting or back-office systems to stock or production control, or computer-aided design or manufacturing. 48)In many instances, manual systems can quickly be introduced to ensure some continuity of the business; but in many cases if the computer is down, so is the business.

  

  The most probable causes of interruption in the past have been accidental damage or breakdown, and these can usually be dealt with expeditiously. However, in recent times the exposure causing most concern to insurers have been theft.

  

  49) Initially the problem was the theft of PCs, and because most of these were based in offices which had not been targeted by thieves in the past, and thus had relatively poor security, losses mounted very quickly. It was common practice for a thief to make a fresh visit once the equipment had been replaced, as the new equipment would be more attractive due to rapid technological advances. The equipment would usually be covered by insurance, but problems could be experienced if there were no back-ups of date and/or programmes.

  

  The initial reaction by insurers was to step up requests for security improvements, including alarms and devices such as lock-down plates or cables.50)However, the criminal fraternity quickly came to realize that the real value in the computers is in the chip which is remarkably portable and unidentifiable, so even when caught the police have trouble proving the theft. this led to even greater demands for security, including encapsulation and computer safes.

  文章概要

  Para.1說明有一個學(xué)科覆蓋所有社會科學(xué)的原因。

  Para.2-3闡述了社會科學(xué)分裂的時間和過程。

  Para.4人類的大腦是趕不上知識爆炸的速度的,所以社會科學(xué)的分類會越來越快。

  答案點評

  26.A文章第一句即為題旨所在:“The study of social science is more than the study of the individual social sciences.”

  27.C“Socratic method”以蘇格拉底的名字命名,并且為他所第一個使用。他是“Socratic method”無可爭議的創(chuàng)始人。

  28.B這個答案可能有些出乎意料,但這是有據(jù)可依的。西方女奴主義興起之時,類似這種名詞都受到過挑戰(zhàn)。最為大家熟知的,就是“Ms.”這一稱謂的誕生。且從作者在括號中說到這句話,可看出這句話與文意本無甚大關(guān)系。

  29.D“exponentially”的本意是“指數(shù)地”。大家都知道“呈指數(shù)倍增長”是指極快速的增長,這里的“exponentially”也就是“rapidly快速地”的意思。

  30.B人的精力是有限的,隨著知識與信息的爆炸,社會科學(xué)的分科必然會越來越細,越來越專。A認(rèn)為“Social science cannot be divided into subfields”,事實恰恰相反。筆者個人認(rèn)為未來實在不可能出現(xiàn)“Renaissance Man”了。知識爆炸的速度遠非人腦力可及。

  文章概要

  Para.1究竟是失業(yè)者未能履行為社會服務(wù)的義務(wù),還是國家沒有盡到使他們有工作做的職責(zé)呢?

  Para.2人們普遍認(rèn)為人的力量不及工業(yè)力量是失業(yè)的主要原因,在某種程度上來說,失業(yè)者為社會剩余的經(jīng)濟進步付出代價。

  Para.3造成失業(yè)原因之一是失業(yè)者自己要負(fù)責(zé),之二是政府也要為此承擔(dān)責(zé)任。

  Para.4關(guān)于失業(yè)者和失業(yè)人數(shù)的爭論主要基于社會工作的本質(zhì)和意義的不統(tǒng)一。

  答案點評

  31.BB項與第2段第1句意思相符,其中victims of…(……的受害者)相當(dāng)于該句的paying the price of (為……付出代價)。其余三項皆非作者之意。

  32.AA項與起始句的內(nèi)容一致,此問句點出了本文的主題。

  33.C此題出自第2段第3句,句中revitalize意為“使恢復(fù)活力”;unemployment scare是“失業(yè)大恐慌”。C項“使失業(yè)問題再起爭論”符合該句中reopened and revitalized及下句中的reawakened controversies (重新引起爭論),故C為正確答案。

  34.C第3段第2句說雇主對失業(yè)的促成作用……往往被忽視(句中in the main意為“基本上;大體上”)。C項恰合此意,為正確答案。A項,文中無此說法。B項是對失業(yè)者的不正當(dāng)指責(zé)。D項是一些critics (批評家)的說法,而非作者的意見。

  35.D此文末段第2句中not only performed by the worker for society but also made secure for the worker by the State“工作不僅是工人對社會應(yīng)盡的義務(wù),而且國家應(yīng)保證工人能夠工作著”,表明D項說法正確。A、B兩項文中未提。C項只是論據(jù)之一。

  文章概要

  Para.1創(chuàng)新對于成功商人延續(xù)其成功至關(guān)重要。

  Para.2以比爾蓋茨為例,說明創(chuàng)新意識的重要性。

  Para.3以Coleco公司為例,說明因循守舊的危害。

  Para.4 3M公司的成功就在于它的創(chuàng)新意識。

  Para.5文中用蝦來喻人,告誡人們悠哉游哉的日子容易使人意識混沌和麻木,看不到潛在的危機,倒不如處在一個艱難的環(huán)境中,立即采取行動改變現(xiàn)狀。

  答案點評

  36.B英語成語to keep one's head above water意為“使自己免遭滅頂之災(zāi)”,結(jié)合本文的的意境為“免于負(fù)債”之意,即to keep out of financial difficulty.

  37.D見原文第三段最后兩句,“I don't think anyone can say with a straight face that any technology company has a guaranteed position. Not Intel, not Microsoft, not Compaq, not Dell, take any of your favorites. And that's totally honest.”蓋茨認(rèn)為任何一個技術(shù)公司,包括英特爾、康柏、戴爾都在努力維持和確保自身的地位。而微軟的市場地位將來勢必受到威脅和沖擊。

  38.C見原文第四段:“they became complacent and didn't create any new toys worth mentioning. As a result, Coleco went bankrupt in 1998.”作者以Coleco公司為例,指出“故步自封和因循守舊必將使一個企業(yè)走向毀滅”。

  39.C見原文第五段:The 3M company has a 15% rule: Employees are encouraged to spend 15% of their time developing new ideas on any project they desire.作者認(rèn)為3M公司的成功在于它的“15%原則”,即“創(chuàng)新意識”。

  40.D見原文末句:It realizes instantly that it's in a bad environment and takes immediate action to change its status.

  Part B

  答案解析

  41.C上文提到,因為懶惰與懦弱,人們甘愿不成熟,被保護。C項正是對此展開的論述,舉出一些例子指出其具體表現(xiàn)。

  42.E上文提到,事實上這種危險并不那么可怕,因為在跌倒幾次后他們很可能就學(xué)會了走路。而E項順承此意說道,但是這種失敗的例子使人們望而生畏,不敢做進一步嘗試?!斑@種挫敗的例子”指的就是上文的跌倒。

  43.G這一段講的是isolated individual即孤立的個人脫離不成熟狀態(tài)的困難性。G項是對本段做的結(jié)論,即只有少數(shù)幾個人能成功逃離不成熟狀態(tài)。a few與individual相照應(yīng)。

  44.B由下文的For可知,下文是對空白處的解釋。下文說總會有一些獨立思考的人在自己擺脫了不成熟狀態(tài)后會向周圍傳播一種精神。由此可判斷公眾的啟蒙是相對容易的。

  45.A下文提到革命不能帶來思想狀態(tài)的真正革新,新的偏見還會產(chǎn)生。于是可判斷本段首句的內(nèi)容應(yīng)是公眾的啟蒙只能是緩慢的。

  文章大意:本文選自康德的《什么是啟蒙》,本文指出了啟蒙的含義,必要性、方法等等??档轮鲝埫恳粋€人運用自己的理性對一切問題進行公開的、自由的探究。

  Part C

  參考譯文

  46.確實許多任務(wù)都是由電腦完成的,如果沒有電腦,這些任務(wù)是無法完成的。我們現(xiàn)在已達到電腦化的程度,因而人們認(rèn)為電腦化必定會帶來好處。

  47.最明顯的答案是:由于(使用電腦)效率提高,所需要的人已減少,失業(yè)人數(shù)、特別是服務(wù)行業(yè)失業(yè)的人數(shù)將會大幅度的提高,并且以后還會有更多的人失業(yè)。

  48.在許多情況下,能迅速引進手工操作系統(tǒng),以保證商業(yè)的某種連續(xù)性。但在許多情況下,如果電腦失靈,商業(yè)也就隨之陷入癱瘓狀態(tài)。

  49.最初,問題是偷盜個人電腦,由于大部分電腦是安裝在辦公室里,而過去盜賊沒有把辦公室當(dāng)做偷盜目標(biāo),因此相對來說那里的安全防范措施稍差,導(dǎo)致?lián)p失迅速增大。

  50.但是罪犯們很快意識到電腦的真正價值在于芯片(集成電路板),芯片非常易于隨身攜帶,而且不易分辨,所以甚至在(賊)被抓住后,警察也難以證明這是偷來的。

  Sir,

  I'm writing to you for the walkman I bought from your corporation a month ago. There's something wrong with it. It can't work. The electric power is on, but the wheel doesn't move. It is not supposed to be broken down in such a short time after it was bought.

  Since the walkman is only bought for a month, the half a year warranty is still available. So I post the walkman to you in the hope of getting it repaired.

  Enclosed is the invoice and the warranty. There is also a name card with my telephone number and address on. If any questions, contact me please. Thank you.

   Sincerely yours, John Smith

  Competition and Cooperation

  Competition is a common phenomenon in our social life. You can find it everywhere. At the same time you can also see cooperation here and there.

  Competition is one of the motives of the constant development of the mankind. The pressure of competition can force a man to try his best and then he could do things better and better. On the contrary if one has no opponent, he will begin to be lazy and lose the energy of working hard to make progress. So the mankind couldn't develop without competition. But there are many difficulties in the long way of development. In some cases a man is very hard to conquer those difficulties. So pure and exclusive competition leads to failure. It will be much easier to solve them if many people get together. The importance of cooperation just lies on it. If we ignore the needs of cooperation and just do things separately, we also would not be able to obtain our goals.

  Competition and cooperation are both necessary to the mankind. Competition will make us be always active to create. Cooperation gives us the possibility of conquering the great troubles. Only competition together with cooperation can help us to become better all the time.
