亲爱的先生/女士：
我是一个中国学生，我想到贵校继续深造。我打算下学期开始上课，如您能告知我一些基本
的信息将感激不尽。
首先，学费是多少？尽管我想自费，但如果有为国际留学生提供的奖学金我也非常感兴趣。
第二，我想知道到贵校上学需要什么资格，我现在拿到了中国一所大学的硕士学位，这样可
以吗？第三，至于住宿条件，如果可能我想要单人房间，但如果单人房间太贵，我也可以合
住。
我期待着您的回复，更希望早日成为贵校的一员。
您诚挚的：李华

Directions: Someone put forward a proposal to adopt the “punch in” system in her memo in
June 12, 2006. Write a memo to her with the information below. Your memo should be in no less
than100 words.
To: Mr. Brown manager of operations
From: Betty Green Supervisor
Subject: comments on the "punch in" system
Date: September 21
This is further to your memo dated back to June 12, 2006, in which you proposed that the
employees adopt the “punch in” system.
I fully agree with you that we should take measures to increase the productivity and that we would
a tighter control over the employees if the “punch in” system is adopted. However, honestly
speaking, I don t think that adopting a tighter system will increase productivity. The most
effective way to increase productivity, in my opinion, is to give the employees more incentives to
work. I think we could further discuss other possibility of achieving this goal.
Your consideration of this suggestionwould be highly appreciated.
Yours sincerely,
Betty Green

这是回复你 2006 年 6月 12 日的备忘录，当时你建议所有的员工采用打卡考勤制度。
我非常同意你的看法， 我们应该采取措施提供工作效率，如果采用打卡考勤制度我们可以更
严格的控制员工。但说实话，我并不认为实行打卡制度就可以提高工作效率。我认为，提高
工作效率最好的办法就是给员工更多的鼓励。对于实现这一目的的方式我们还可以继续探
讨。
希望你能认真考虑这个建议。
你真挚的：贝蒂·格林

Directions: Study the following essay carefully and write a summary in about 100 words.
Student Rights
By Jeff Bakersfield
Who knows better than the students themselves what a university should do for them and
how they should be treated? Yet how often do students have any say at all in such important issues
as faculty selection, curriculum planning, and scheduling? The answer is obvious: never. If
university administrations refuse to include student representatives in the decision-making process,
something drastic must be done.
Let s examine what is happening right here on our own campus in the areas mentioned
above. The first major issue is the selection of faculty members. Never in the history of this
college has a student been permitted to interview, examine the credentials of, or even meet
prospective professors. All hiring is done by a joint administrative faculty committee, often
made up of people who will not even have extensive dealings with the individuals after they begin
teaching. Those who have the most at stake and whose lives and academic careers will be
governed by the professors - the students themselves - never even meet the new teachers until the
first class meeting. No one is better equipped to evaluate a professor s ability to communicate
with students than those whom he or she intends to teach. Anyone can read curriculum vitae to
ascertain the level of professional training and experience someone has had, but the best judges of
a teacher s ability to teach, which is the primary function of any professor, are undoubtedly the
students themselves. WWW.GONGWU.COM.CN 2005-8-13 2:39:46
Students interest in and commitment to appropriate curricula are even more obvious. We
have come to college with very specific purposes in mind: to prepare ourselves intellectually and
practically for the future. We know what we need to learn in order to compete successfully with
others in our chosen fields. Why should we be kept out of the curriculum planning process? If we
pay for the textbooks, spend hours in the library doing research, and burn the midnight oil
studying for tests and exams, why are we not permitted to give our opinions about the materials
we will spend so many hours studying? It is imperative that our views be made known to
curriculum planners.
Finally, the area of scheduling is of vital interest to students. The hours at which classes are
offered affect the workings of our daily lives. Many of us must juggle work and class schedules,
but often administrators ignore such problems when they schedule classes. Schedules must be
convenient and flexible so that all students have equal opportunities to take the most popular
classes and those which are most essential to their majors. If students helped with scheduling,
never would there be two required courses offered at the same time for only one semester per
academic year. Never would we have to wait two or three semesters to take a course that is a
prerequisite for other desired courses, nor would we have to race across campus in ten minutes to
get from one class to the next. Students are vitally concerned with the scheduling area.W004-5-27

In the 1960s and early 1970s, students were not too shy or fearful to demonstrate against the
injustices they saw in the draft system and the Vietnam conflict. Why should students today be
afraid to voice their opinions about the very important issues that affect their very lives? It is
imperative that students act to protect their own rights. Fellow university students, I urge that you
meet together and draw up demands to be presented to the administration. We must take the future
in our own hands, not be led to it like passive sheep. Let us act now so that we will not be sorry
later!
Summary :
In his essay, Student Rights, Jeff Bakersfield stated that students had the right to be involved
in university administrative decisions. Using the current situation on his own college campus as an
example, he emphasized that students should be included in decisions regarding selection of
faculty, curriculum planning, and scheduling of classes. He pointed out that students not only had
more vital interests in the decisions made in these areas than those who traditionally settle the
issues, but that they were also better equipped through their experiences as students to make
intelligent decisions about them. Bakersfield concluded by stating that it was crucial for students
to become actively involved in protesting unilateral administrative decisions and proposed that
they meet to discuss their mutual interests and demands.

在学生的权利一文中，Jeff Bakersfield强调学生有权利参与学校行政决定的过程。他举了他
所在学校作为例子，强调学生应该参与到员工招募、课程设置和课时安排等方面的决定。他
指出学生对这些决定比那些做决定的人更感兴趣， 另外，让他们做出关系切身利益的决定使
他们更能成为好学生。Bakersfield 总结到学生应该主动要求打破原来单边决定模式，学生
应该在一起讨论他们共同的兴趣和要求。
十三． 报告
Directions: You are now preparing for your graduation paper on the advantage and disadvantage
of electronic mail; write a progress report to your tutor telling him what you have done last week.
Your report should be no less than 100 words.
To: Professor Barbara Felton
From: James Green
Date: April 12, 2005
Subject: First progress report on research paper
This is the first of the two progress reports you asked me to submit about my research paper on the
advantages and disadvantages of electronic mail.
Last week, I gathered information from library materials and from an interview. Of the twelve
references listed on my proposal, I found only nine, for others I will go to search in a larger
library.
As far as interview concerned, I had an extended interview with Mr. Moore of General Dynamics,
who gave me some brochures as well as a copy of a report on electronic mail he wrote for General
Dynamics-materials I hope to use in my paper.
Starting tomorrow, I will begin organizing my paper. I will be able to submit a rough draft by the
end ofthis month.
Sincerely yours,
James Green
