8、s his case for getting rid of compulsory-attendance laws in primary and secondary schools with six arguments. These fall into three groupsfirst that education is for those who want to learn and by including those that dont want to learn, everyone suffers. Second, that grades would be reflective of e
9、ffort and elementary school teachers wouldnt feel compelled to pass failing students. Third, that schools would both save money and save face. Thus the elimination of compulsory-attendance laws will improve the quality of education. (101字) Secret to Longevity Lies in Genes, Study Finds According to
10、the article, Dr. Thomas Perls and researchers have been doing studies and tests to see if genes have anything to do with growing old. Dr. Thomas believes that not only good health, but genes could play a role. Their research has shown that many of the people that live to 90 and over share similariti
11、es in their DNA. Dr. Perls hopes that if genes have anything to do with aging then they might be able to understand biochemical pathways. (81 字) 驳论文范文Merely based on the unfounded assumptions and dubious evidence, the statement draws the conclusion that unreasonable expectations of computers for edu
12、cation have yet to be realized. To substantiate the conclusion, the arguer points out the evidence that working on the Internet especially finding and retrieving information from a website can sometimes be tedious and time consuming. And then he indicates that distance learning will cost a lot of fe
13、es. In addition, no students prefer to stick their nose in a computer rather than watch TV or go to school. Furthermore, he cites a result of recent survey in support of his recommendation. At first glance, this argument appears to be somewhat convincing, but further reflection reveals that it omits
14、 substantiate concerns that should be addressed in the argument. From the logical perspective, the argument suffers from N logical flaws. The threshold problem with this argument is that sometimes using computers may be more convenient than traditional learning. First of all, though that various inf
15、ormation is there on the Internet, we can also find much useful information by useful methods. For example, we can easily find many scientific literatures on the Internet using 精选学习资料 - - - - - - - - - 名师归纳总结 - - - - - - -第 2 页,共 7 页学习必备欢迎下载search engines. On the contrary, its hard to imagine that y
16、ou can definitely seek out a useful literature in library only by using several keywords. In addition, nowadays students can listen to many famous universities classes on the Internet and it will benefit more people. Another problem that weakens that the logic of this argument is that besides the cl
17、asses with charged on the Internet, there are many free resources on the Internet. As far as I can see, several major Chinese websites have opened courses for free. And also most of the information on the Internet can be downloaded for free. Moreover distance learning can save the cost of attending
18、to school. Before I come to my conclusion, it is necessary to point out the flaw involved in this argument. The arguer points out that no child would like to learn to use the computer. I can hardly accept this argument for learning by computer can be very interesting. With the use of multi-media, di
19、stance learning can be very attractive to children. And students will prefer to use computer rather than be bored to death by endless books and stodgy teachers. To sum up, this arguer fails to substantiate his claim that finding information from a website can sometimes be tedious and time consuming,
20、 because the evidence he cited in the analysis does not lend strong support to what the argument maintains. To make the argument more convincing, the author would have to provide more information with regard to the cost of distance learning. Additionally, he would have to demonstrate that why distan
21、ce learning is more boring than traditional learning. Therefore, if the argument had included the given factors discussed above, it would have been more logically acceptable. (481 字) Along with the rapid development of science and technology, computers become more and more popular in our daily life.
22、 They can be used in various fields, such as calculation, simulation, communication and recreation. Of course, they have already invaded every aspect of education, from kindergarten through college. It is not uncommon for 6th graders to surf the Net, design their own home pages, and e-mail their fri
23、ends or strangers they have met” on the Web. In fact, computer literacy is a reality for many junior high students and most high school students. In the midst of this technological explosion, computers have already brought benefits to education. But somebody disapproves of using computer technology
24、in education; and they think it will not magically educate students. For example, the author of the article Computers and Education in America” in our handbook of advanced writing, Dudley Erskine Devlin, had listed his points one by one. To begin with, the author queries whether computer technology
25、can provide valuable information. However, he ignores the reality that Internet provides the most comprehensive and professional information spaces, which are always convenient and free to use. For example, every academician and postgraduate may seek help from Wanfang Database ” while they are searc
26、hing through scholarly literatures for their 精选学习资料 - - - - - - - - - 名师归纳总结 - - - - - - -第 3 页,共 7 页学习必备欢迎下载scientific research. Indeed, computer online has become a necessity to supply the latest information and the most efficient service. In other words, we can get nearly all information we need
27、from the Net, without spending a lot of time leafing through too many books in the library. In addition, the author doesnt believe that every person has the skills to navigate the Web in any but the most superficial way. Nevertheless, society is advancing with the passage of time, every one may beco
28、me more and more familiar to computer technology for certain years, and the technology would become easier and easier to use at the same time. Finally and most importantly, the author is deeply worried about the nasty issue of pornography and the rampant commercialism on the Internet, which may esta
29、blish incorrect value for college students by wasting their time and enticing them to be a degenerate. To the certain extent, it may be true; but without the Net, they can also be exposed to the unhealthy things through other media, like books, TVs and so on. On the contrary, Internet can use networ
30、k mask and firewalls to protect students from these negative in formations. As mentioned above, the computer is very important in schools, especially in high schools and universities. In a word, our study would not go on with computers online. Thus, negating computer and Internet in education is una
31、dvisable, and what we should do is fully using it while reducing the negative influence.

32、 it in about 200 words. The Cult of Busyness - Barbara EhrenreichNot too long ago a former friend and soon-to-be acquaintance called me up to tell me how busy she was. A major report, upon which her professional future depended, was due in three days; her secretary was on strike; her housekeeper had
33、 fallen into the hands of the Immigration Department; she had two hours to prepare dinner party for eight; and she was late for her time-management class. Stress was taking its toll, she told me: her children resented the fact that she sometimes got their names mixed up, and she had taken to abusing
34、 white wine. All this put me at a distinct disadvantage, since the only thing I was doing at the time was holding the phone with one hand and attempting to touch the opposite toe with the other hand, a pastime that I had perfected during previous telephone monologues. Not that Im not busy too: as I
35、listened to her, I was on the alert for the moment the dryer would shut itself off and I would have to rush to fold the clothes before they settled into a mass of incorrigible wrinkles. But if I mentioned this little deadline of mine, she might think I wasnt busy enough to need a housekeeper, so I j
36、ust kept on patiently saying Hmm until she got to her parting line: Look, this isnt a good time for me to talk. Ive got to go now. I dont know when the cult of conspicuous busyness began, but it has swept up almost all the upwardly mobile, professional women I know. Already, it is getting hard to re
37、call the days when, for example Lets have lunch meant something other than Ive got more important things to do than talk to you right now. There was even a time when people used to get together without the excuse of needing something to eat - when, in fact, it was considered rude to talk with your m
38、outh full. In the old days, hardly anybody had an appointment book, and when people wanted to know what the day held in store for them, they consulted a horoscope. Its not only women, of course; for both sexes, busyness has become an important insignia of upper-middle-class status. Nobody, these day
39、s, admits to having a hobby, although two or more careers - say, neurosurgery and an art dealership - is not uncommon, and I am sure we will soon be hearing more about the tribulations of the four-pay-check couple. Even those who can manage only one occupation at a time would be embarrassed to be ca
40、ught doing only one thing at a time. Those young men who jog with their headsets on are not, as you might innocently guess, rocking out, but are absorbing the principles of international finance law or a lecture on one-minute management. Even eating, I read recently, is giving way to grazing - the c
41、onscious ingestion of unidentified foods while drafting a legal brief, cajoling a client on the phone, and, in ambitious cases, doing calf-toning exercises under the desk. All the bustle, my busy friends would explain - 精选学习资料 - - - - - - - - - 名师归纳总结 - - - - - - -第 5 页,共 7 页学习必备欢迎下载they want to suc
42、ceed. But if success is the goal, it seems clear to me that the fast track is headed the wrong way. Think of the people who are genuinely successful: path-breaking scientists, best-selling novelists, and designers of major new software. They are not, on the whole, the kind of people who keep glancin
43、g shiftily at their watches or making small lists entitled To Do. On the contrary, many of these people appear to be in a daze, like the distinguished professor I once had who, in the middle of a lecture on electron spin, became so fascinated by the dispersion properties of chalk dust that he could
44、not go on. These truly successful people are childlike, easily distractible, fey sorts, whose usual demeanor resembles that of a recently fed hobo on a warm summer evening. The secret of the truly successful, I believe, is that they learned very early in life how not to be busy. They saw through tha
45、t adage, repeated to me so often in childhood, that anything worth doing is worth doing well. The truth is, many things are worth doing only in the most slovenly, halfhearted fashion possible, and many other things are not worth doing at all. Balancing a checkbook, for example. For some reason, in o
46、ur culture, this dreary exercise is regarded as the supreme test of personal maturity, business acumen, and the ability to cope with math anxiety. Yet it is a form of busyness which is exceeded in futility only by going to the additional trouble of computerizing ones checking account - and that, in
47、turn, is only slightly less silly than taking the time to discuss, with anyone, what brand of personal computer one owns, or is thinking of buying, or has heard of others using. If the truly successful manage never to be busy, it is also true that many of the busiest people will never be successful.
48、 I know this firsthand from my experience, many years ago, as a waitress. Any executive who thinks the ultimate in busyness consists of having two important phone calls on hold and a major deadline in twenty minutes, should try facing six tablefuls of clients simultaneously demanding that you give t
49、hem their checks, fresh coffee, a baby seat, and a warm, spontaneous smile. Even when shes not busy, a waitress has to look busy - refilling the salt shakers and polishing all the chrome in sight - but the only reward is the minimum wage and any change that gets left on the tables. Much the same is
50、true of other high-stress jobs, like working as a telephone operator, or doing data entry on one of the new machines that monitors your speed as you work: success means surviving the shift. Although busyness does not lead to success, I am willing to believe that success - especially when visited on
