Simulate a Life
The ultimate goal of life is to achieve happiness, and the way to achieve happiness is the wise management. So says The Sims (模拟人生)，an American strategic life-simulation computer game that lets you create, direct, and manage the lives of SimCity’s residents.
Similar to the life of a real person, the game begins with the creation of your simulated(模拟的)people: pick a name and a gender, decide on personality/astrological sign (星座), and then choose a look from a variety of heads, bodies, and skin tones. Each little Sim person has all basic needs (Hunger, Comfort, Fun, etc.) like a human which can be satisfied by interaction with other Sims or purchased objects. Name, gender, and appearance don’t affect gameplay much, but personality determines how your Sim plays with others.
One gameplay goal is to improve your Sim and eventually help him or her achieve happiness. With proper management he or she can climb a career ladder, which nets him or her more money. This allows the purchase of higher quality stuff, which lets you improve your Sim even more. With suitable care, your Sim can have a mate, kids, and a mansion with an indoor pool. Mismanage your new, simulated family, and fights will break out, jobs will be lost, and the house will fall apart.
With The Sims, you can create whatever and whomever you desire. Triumph or tragedy? You name it. In your real life, it is the same case.

If you got 100,000 dollars by chance, how would you spend it? Here are some answers of our readers：
Elizabeth Stahl: I would donate it to an arts program for young boys and girls. The decrease in the creative arts programs such as
music, art and drama in the schools have left many young artists out in the cold in academics. Much like sports, art in any form, can and does make a difference in young people’s lives.
Marjorie C: Although I agree with Elizabeth Stahl 100%, I’d give my money to each of my children to ensure the very best of educations for my two granddaughters.
Clark: With one hundred thousand dollars…I would distribute it among those whom I know that are in need and ask that they in turn then share half of what they’ve received with others that they personally know are in need.
Carol Wilson: First, I would take care of all my debts and gain a good credit again, and then I would spend the rest on a new car. After all said and done, take a nice long vacation.

练习(二)
阅读下面的短文， 然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
There are two major teaching methods in schools: the lecture system and the discussion system.
The two teaching methods have their own strengths and weaknesses respectively. Many students like the lecture system because it helps them to learn quickly and much more. Attending a well-prepared lecture is a most rewarding experience: it can open a new horizon for you and save you much time as well — the time you might otherwise spend reading one book after another. Yet the fault of the lecture system is that it cultivates a bad habit of passive learning. Students bring their notebooks and even tape recorders to class to write everything down without thinking of themselves, let alone raise any question to teachers.
On the contrary, the discussion system encourages students to form their own ideas and opinions. To engage in frequent and even heated debates, you have to do a lot of homework beforehand, find answers yourselves and thus you develop the analytical skills which benefit both your study habit and your future life. However, it also has its weakness: students do not learn systematically.

例题一【参考范文】
Plan Our Life Well
The Sims is an American computer game in which you can realize the way to achieve happiness in your real life by creating, directing, and managing a simulated identity in The Sims World.
Today, we are living in a fluctuating society. This urges a severe and immediate need for us to plan and orga-nize our life properly beforehand. Whatever we do, we must have a draft or blueprint for the next step. Otherwise, we are likely to be eliminated in this competitive world.
As a Senior Three student, I am supposed to plan our study efficiently so that I can grasp a wide range of subjects and knowledge. Consequently, it is essential for me to allocate more time on subjects I am weak in. The moment I get up in the morning, I will spend time reading English or Chinese aloud
because it can make me more energetic. In the evening study, I first concentrate on my weak subjects and then switch to the subjects that I excel in for a change. Reviewing the bits and pieces that I learn every day is what I do before bed because it is the ideal time for memory.
练习 (一)【参考范文】
People would spend 100,000 dollars in different ways if they got it by chance. Some would donate it to charity for various purposes while some others would take care of their own business with the money.
If I had the chance to get that money, I would first set aside 20,000 dollars for my university education and then donate the rest to the children who suffered from the devastating earthquake last May.
There is no doubt that a good education is of vital importance to a person. It is through education that know-ledge and information are received and spread throughout the world. An uneducated person is shut off from the outside world because he is closed to all the knowledge he can gain through books. In contrast, an educated man lives in a room with all its windows open towards the outside world.
Thus I would use the money for my own education and help the children in the disaster area in Sichuan to gain theirs.
练习(二)【参考范文】
The above passage compares the advantages and disadvantages of the two major teaching methods in schools: the lecture system and the discussion system.
Actually, some students like classes where teachers give a lecture (do all of the talking) in class, while others prefer classes where the students do some of the talking.
I prefer the lecture system for three reasons: I am used to the lecture system; it is an efficient system; I am too shy to talk in class. All my school life, I have listened to teachers. The lecture system is an efficient one. I want the teacher to give me as much information as he or she can during the class period. I hate it when the class is full of laughter or gossips.
I hope I can always study in a school or university where it uses the lecture system. I think it is better to continue with what one is used to.
