A radio station that once decided to present only good news soon found that it had gone out of business for lack of listeners. Bad news on the other hand is so common that in order to cope with it, we often simply ignor

4、e it. We have become immune to bad news and the newspapers and radio stations are aware of this.While newspapers and TV stations may aim to report world events accurately, be they natural or human disasters, political events or the horrors of war, it is also true that their main objective is to sell

For this reason TV and radio stations attempt to reflect the flavour of their station by providing news broadcasts tailor-made to suit their listeners. preferences. Programmes specialising in pop music or TV soap operas focus more on l

Many radio and TV stations do, in fact, report items of good news but they no longer call this news. They refer to these as human interest stories and package them in programmes specialis

9、therhood ought to he emphasized as much as motherhood. The idea that women are solely responsible for deciding whether or not to have babies leads on to the idea that they are also responsible for bringing the children up.”To what extent do you agree or disagree?I believe that child-rearing should b

10、e the responsibility of both parents and that, whilst the roles within that partnership may be different, they are nevertheless equal in importance. In same societies, it has been made easier over the years for single parents to raise children on their own. However, this does not mean that the tradi

11、tional family, with both parents providing emotional support and role-models for their children, is not the most satisfactory way of bringing up children.Of crucial importance, in my opinion, is how we define responsible for bringing the children up. At its simplest, it could mean giving the financi

12、al support necessary to provide a home, food and clothes and making sure the child is safe and receives an adequate education. This would be the basic definition.There is, however, another possible way of defining that part of the quotation. That would say it is not just the fathers responsibility t

13、o provide the basics for his children, while his wife involves herself in the everyday activity of bringing them up. Rather, he should share those daily duties, spend as much time as his job allows with his children, play with them, read to them, help directly with their education, participate very

14、fully in their lives and encourage them to share his.It is this second, fuller, concept of fatherhood that I am in favor of, although I also realize how difficult it is to achieve sometimes. The economic and employment situation in many countries means that jobs are getting more, not less, stressful

15、, requiring long hours and perhaps long journeys to work as well. Therefore it may remain for many a desirable ideal rather than an achievable reality. (288 words, a “very good answer”)剑雅2，Test 2 ，writing test 2Prevention is better than cure？OF course it goes without saying that prevention is better

16、 than cure. That is why, in recent years, there has been a growing body of opinion in favour of putting more resources into health education and preventive measures. The argument is that ignorance of, for example, basic hygiene or the dangers of an unhealthy diet or lifestyle needs to be combated by

17、 special nationwide publicity campaigns, as well as longer-term healthy education. Obviously, there is a strong human argument for catching any medical condition as early as possible. There is also an economic argument for doing so. Statistics demonstrate the cost-effectiveness of treating a conditi

18、on in the early stages, rather than delaying until more expensive and prolonged treatment is necessary. Then there are social or economic costs, perhaps in terms of loss of earning for the family concerned or unemployed benefit paid by the state. So far so good, but the difficulties start when we tr

19、y to define what the proportion of the budget should be, particularly if the funds will be diverted from treatment. Decisions on exactly how much of the total health budget should be spent in this way are not a matter for the non-specialist, but should be made on the basis of an accepted health serv

20、ice model. This is the point at which real problems occur-the formulation of the model. How do we accurately measure which health education campaigns are effective in both medical and financial terms? How do we agree about the medical efficacy of various screening programme, for example, when the me

21、dical establishment itself does not agree? A very rigorous process of evaluation is called for, so that we can make informed decisions. （279 words， “good answer”）剑雅2, test 3, task 2Without capital punishment (the death penalty) our lives are less secure and crimes of violence increase. Capital punis

22、hment is essential to control violence in society. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion? Before talking about the essential role of death penalty, you have to think about the meaning, and the purpose, of any kind of punishment. If you consider that the purpose is to prevent the

23、guilty from being nasty again, you can be seduced by an argumentation in favor of the suppression of capital punishment. But you have to think about another aspect of the problem: a punishment is also useful to impress people, to make them fear the law. In fact, lets take the example of a young misf

24、it, which has grown in a violent atmosphere, influenced by older delinquents, etc. He lives in the streets, he has got no aim but to survive. This is the kind of person who could possibly kill someone for money, or even for fun Why would he fear prison? Life would be easier for him there. In additio

25、n, in many cases, when you behave normally, you can benefit from penalty reductions. This young misfit need to be impressed, he needs to know that the law is a frontier. When you cross it, you can lose your life. That is why capital punishment helps keeping a distance between robbery and murder. If

26、you abolish it, you suppress the difference between these two types of crime, which are completely different. But there is also a limit to define: even if death penalty is unavoidable, it would be a crime to apply it to inadequate cases. If there is no premeditation or past facts which can justify s

27、uch a punishment, it is far too strict to apply death penalty. That is why the lawmakers have to establish precisely the context in which capital punishment can be pronounced. That is the price to pay to limit violence without using excessive violence. (294 words, band 8) 剑雅2，test 4，task 2The positi

28、on of women in society has changed markedly in the last twenty years. Many of the problems young people now experience, such as juvenile delinquency, arise from the fact that many married women now work and are not at home to care for their children.It is certainly true that the position of women in

29、 society has undergone a dramatic change in the past twenty years but I do not feel that this is a direct cause of the indisputable increase in juvenile-related problems during this period.It is now accepted that young women should find work on leaving school; indeed to rely totally on their parents

30、 financial support is no longer an option for many families. Likewise, once they get married, the majority of women continue working since the financial pressures of setting up a house and establishing a reasonable standard of living often require two incomes.Twenty years ago it was common for women

31、 to give up work once they had children and devote their time to caring for their children. This is no longer the general rule and the provision of professionally-run child care facilities and day nurseries have removed much of the responsibility for child-rearing that used to fall to mothers. Howev

32、er, these facilities come at a cost and often require two salaries coming into a family to be afforded.I do not believe that the increase in the number of working mothers has resulted in children being brought up less well than previously. Indeed it could be argued that by giving mothers the opportunity to work and earn extra money children can be better provided for than previously. There is more money for luxuries and holidays and a more secure family life is possible. Of course, there are limits as to the amount of time that ideally should be spent away from home and the ideal
