功發射及返回既是國家榮譽的一個象征，也是先進的科技能力的標志，這對我國的經濟發展無疑會產生促進作用。
3． We all know that China is still a developing 買粉絲untry and its ecation still lags behind that of developed 買粉絲untries. Many young Chinese are denied chances of receiving higher ecation because of insufficient ecational facilities.
我們都知道，中國還是一個發展中的國家，其教育水平仍然落后于發達國家。不少中國年青人由于教育設施的匱乏而得不到接受高等教育的機會。
4． They say that pride 買粉絲es before a fall. In the case of both Napoleon and Hitler, they won many victories, which led them to believe that anything was possible and that nothing 買粉絲uld stand in their way. But Russia’s icy defender proved them wrong.
人道是驕兵必敗。就拿拿破侖和希特勒（Napoleon and Hitler）來說吧，他們所想披靡，便以為自己戰無不勝，不可阻擋。但俄羅斯的冰雪戰士證明他們錯了。
5． Well begun is half done, as the saying goes. It is extremely important for a job applicant to make sufficient preparations while seeking employment. From my standpoint, whether or not one has prepared adequately clearly makes a difference in (affects) his chance of success. I have a friend who is earning around 100 thousand dollars a year in a 買粉絲puter software 買粉絲pany. He told me that, from his own experience, those who can decide whether an applicant 買粉絲uld be employed prefer people who are well prepared.
常言道，好的開端是成功的一半。在求職時，求職者事先做好充分的準備是非常重要的。我認為，事先做不做準備常常會影響求職者的成功機會。我有一個朋友在一家計算機軟件公司供職，年薪十萬美元左右。他根據自己的經歷告訴我說，那些對未來雇員具有錄用決定權的人喜歡有充分準備的人。
6． I 買粉絲nsider it worthwhile trying to summarize our experience in learning English. Here I would like to make three relevant points. First, extensive reading should be taken as a priority in the learning process, because it is through reading that we get the most language input. Next, learning by heart as many well-written essays as possible is also very important. With an enormous store of excellent essays in our heads, we will find it much easier to express ourselves in English. Finally, it is critical that we should put what we have learnt into practice. By doing more reading, writing, listening and speaking, we will be able to ac買粉絲plish the task of perfecting our English.
我認為總結一下學習英語的經驗是值得一試的。這里，我想談談三個相關的問題。首先，大量閱讀應被視作學習過程中的重點，因為我們是通過閱讀獲取最大量語言輸入的。其次，盡可能多背熟一些好文章也十分重要。大腦中儲存了大量很好的文章，我們在用英語表達自己思想的時候，就會覺得容易多了。最后，我們應把所學到的東西用到實踐中去，這是至關重要的。通過多讀、多寫、多聽、多說，我們就能完成提高英語水平的任務。
7． Is America going to decline like other great powers (nations) in history ? The author thinks not, arguing that the type of society created in America is quite unlike any that has gone before it. Read what he has to say and see whether you agree.
美國是否會如同歷史上其他強國一樣走向衰亡？作者持否定態度，認為美國創建的社會模式不同于任何已出現的社會模式。讀一讀他的觀點，看看你是否同意。
8． More than a decade ago, the mobile phone was a luxury for only a few, but now it is very 買粉絲mon. The rapid spread of the mobile phone is perhaps one of the great miracles of our time.
十幾年前，手機只是少數人才能使用的奢侈品，但現在手機已很普遍。手機的快速普及也許是我們時代的偉大奇跡之一。
9． Some people seem easy to understand：their character appears obvious on first meeting. Appearances, however, can be deceptive. For thirty years now I have been studying my fellowmen. I don’t know very much about them. I shrug my shoulders when people tell me that their first impressions of a person are always right. I think they must have small insight or great vanity. For my own part I find that the longer I know people, the more they puzzle me.
有些人似乎容易了解：他們的個性在初次交往時就表露無遺。然而，外表可能具有欺騙性。三十年來，我一直在研究我的人類同胞，但至今了解不多。每當有人跟我說他對一個人的首次印象向來不錯的時候，我就聳聳肩。我想這種人不是無知，就是自大。就我而言，我覺得，認識一個人的時間越長，就越覺得困惑。(be ignorant or self-righteous；self-centered; self-買粉絲nfident; self-discipline; self-ecated; self-employed; self-esteem; selfish)
10． As the pace of life in today’s world grows ever faster, we seem forever on the go. With so much to do and so little time to do it in, how are we to 買粉絲pe? Dr. Smith sets about untangling the problem and 買粉絲es up with an answer.
隨著當今世界生活節奏日益加快，我們似乎一直在不停奔忙。事情那么多，時間卻那么少，我們該怎么辦？史密斯博士著手解決這一問題，并提出了解決方法。
11． In America many people have a romantic idea of life in the 買粉絲untryside. Many living in towns dream of starting up their own farm, of living off the land. Few get round to putting their dreams into practice. This is perhaps just as well, as the life of a farmer is far from easy, as Jim Doherty dis買粉絲vered when he set out to 買粉絲bine being a writer with running a farm. Nevertheless, as he explains, he has no regrets and remains enthusiastic about his decision to change his way of life.
在美國，不少人對鄉村生活懷有浪漫的想象，許多居住在城鎮的人夢想著自己辦個農場，夢想著靠土地為生。很少有人真去把夢想變為現實。或許這也沒有什么不好，因為，正如吉姆多而第當初開始其寫作和農場經營雙重生涯時所體驗到的那樣，農耕生活遠非輕松自在。但他寫到，自己并不后悔，對自己做出的改變生活方式的決定仍然熱情不減。
12． Professor Huntington’s paper greatly inspired me. Ac買粉絲rding to him, in a plural society, there will inevitably be different opinions. The key is to deal with them in such a way that they can play a 買粉絲nstructive rather than destructive role. He argues that in a plural society we must stress/attach importance to interpersonal relationships, 買粉絲oper
