Unit 8

Having a lot of money is useless without a good education. Life isn't simply about consumption and having a good time when you're not at work. Money will only cause you grief unless you use it for the welfare of the world. That's why I believe that a good education is indispensable. A formal education with emphasis on history, literature, and culture helps a person learn how to distinguish right from wrong. Education that only teaches skills specific to a job can only render skills for performing a task. It doesn't teach you how to make important decisions. Employers tend to demand more from their employees than the ability to perform a task. Our world needs workers who pay constant attention to high standards for their performance. It is evident that far too many people today are focusing on making money and not on improving themselves. What puzzles me is why people should ignore contributions to the good of humanity while making money. It is only rational a person who gives to the world enjoys the benefits. After all, our civilization simply can't be built on the principle of making money alone.

In summary, we must educate our young people to understand and love the world around them. This is the only way to ensure a better tomorrow. Unit 9

Nobody has ever had to tell me to get out of bed. My number one asset has always been that I am much more ambitious than most. The way I see it, life is too short to make periodical concessions to comfort and fun. If you want to accomplish something remarkable, you've got to stay motivated and constantly work toward your goals. My goal has been to become a(n) journalist since I was a young boy. When I was eight, my father said, \should be more realistic about your prospects and abilities.\

I didn't want to deceive myself about how hard it would be, so I started that day by getting a job delivering newspapers. I departed from home every morning at 4:30 to do my work before school. I was fascinated with the printing machines so I always arrived to work early to ask questions. I wasn't much of a scholar, so I eventually ended up enrolling in an average university. Still, I was keen on becoming a reporter and did not give up my dream. I wrote for the school newspaper and when I graduated, took a job sorting mail with a local media company. I later convinced them to give me a chance to write some simple articles. That's how I got my start. Unit 10

Are we fated to repeat the past because our memories are too short? Wasn't World War II supposed to provide a(n) resolution that would end all wars? Why are we still fighting? As people around the world endure the agonies of war, is it possible to even hope for a brighter tomorrow?

A recent study revealed that the quantity of wars in the world is actually decreasing. I hardly believe this means we deserve historic praise for greater understanding of our fellow men. While the number of traditional wars may have declined slightly, acts of violence around the globe are on the increase.

The end of World War II left us with an opportunity rarely seen throughout history—to start over. But, instead of seizing that opportunity and guaranteeing safety and well-being of all peoples, rich nations took advantage of the poor. We cannot continue with the assumption that our actions in other parts of the world are without consequences at home. If we do so, the heroic efforts of the soldiers of World War II will have been a waste. We will simply repeat the wars of the past.

有很多钱是无用的，没有一个好的教育。生活不是简单的消费和有一个很好的时间，当你不在工作。钱只会使你悲伤，除非你使用它，世界人民的福利。这就是为什么我认为一个好的教育是必不可少的。一个正式的教育重点放在历史，文学和文化，帮助一个人学习如何明辨是非。教育只有教技能的具体工作才能使技能执行任务。它不教你如何做重要的决定。雇主往往更需要员工的能力来执行任务。我们的世界需要工人谁经常注意高标准的性能。显而易见的是，很多人今天的重点是赚钱而不是在改善自己。令我不解的是，为什么人们要忽略的贡献人类的利益而赚钱。这是唯一合理的人谁给世界享有的好处。毕竟，我们的文明不可能的原则基础上赚钱的。

总之，我们要教育年轻人了解和喜欢他们周围的世界。这是唯一的出路，以确保一个更好的明天。 9单元

有人曾告诉我滚出去的床。我的头号资产一直是我更加雄心勃勃的比大多数。在我看来，生命太短暂，使期刊优惠的舒适和乐趣。如果你想完成某件事情，你要保持积极性和不断的向着你的目标。我的目标是成为一个（氮）记者因为我是一个年轻的男孩。我八岁的时候，我的父亲说，“这一领域的工作是对你太竞争。你应该更现实的前景和能力。”

我不想欺骗自己有多么难，所以我开始这一天被送报纸的工作。我离开了家，每天清晨四点半做我的工作在学校。我喜欢上了印刷机，所以我总是去上班早问问题。我不是个学者，所以我最终结束在普通高校招生。不过，我希望成为一个记者并没有放弃我的梦想。我为学校题写了报纸，当我毕业了，工作了邮件分类与当地媒体公司。后来我让他们给我一个机会，写一些简单的文章。这就是我开始的。

我们注定要重复过去，因为我们的记忆是太短了？不是二战应该提供一个（）的决议，结束所有的战争？为什么我们还是战斗？在世界人民忍受痛苦的战争，它可能更希望有一个更加美好的明天？

最近的一项研究表明，数量的战争在世界实际上是下降。我不相信这是我们应得的历史性的赞美更了解我们的同胞。而一些传统战争可能略有下降，暴力行为在全球各地都在增加。 二战结束时给我们留下了一history-to上罕见的机会重新开始。但是，为了抓住机遇，保证安全和各国人民的福祉，发达国家利用穷人。我们不能继续假设我们在世界其他部分的行动的后果是不在家。如果我们这样做，英勇的努力的二战士兵将被浪费。我们将简单地重复过去的战争。
