4、s strengthened my abilities to work both alone and with others.

8、 in our daily life.请对以下声明发表评论:计算机道德有助于我们日常生活中更好、更安全的使用电脑。What are ethics? ethics are the moral values that stop you from doing anything that is not legal and that does not harm or damage anyone elses work, or interests. These simple etiquette and ethics help the environment to be more safe, friendly
9、 and co-operative for others around. Computer ethics are nothing but how we use our personal morals and ethics while using the computer for various purposes. They consist of all the rules that you would apply to not misuse any information that is not yours to use, or to access any data that is not o
10、wned by you. With issues like cyber crimes, plagiarism, hacking and password thefts, it has become important to know the importance of computer ethics to be able to create a safe computer-based environment. Your computer is not just an electronic device for communication, it is your data store, your
11、 photo album, your work recorder, your social network, your calculator and what not., it is what you are! If you get involved in downloading information or accessing portals that you are not allowed to, you are opening the doors of various issues and threats like viruses and Trojans that can illegal
12、ly enter your system and crash it completely! On the other hand, if your system is used in the way it is supposed to, you are creating a safer and a better atmosphere wherein you can rest assured that your work and your personal information is absolutely safe and secure. Computer ethics are somethin
13、g that cannot be imposed on you, it is rather something that should be followed out of your own will and desire.

14、e it since you accidentally found out, or would you try to get some information that you are not supposed to?

What recommendations will you give to those who want to stay healt
20、h? 你会给那些想要保持健康的人提供什么建议?Health is far more important than wealth and wisdom。 Good health enables us to enjoy our life and achieve what we hope for in our career。 On the contrary， poor health tends to deprive us of our interest in everything around us。 How to stay healthy concerns everyone， though we
21、have advanced medicine。 When we discuss this， some fundamental principles should be brought in mind。Firstly， it is very important for us to take more fruits and vegetables because they provide vitamins and they help in the process of digestion。 Secondly， we have to keep a balanced diet and maintain
22、regular eating habits。 Proper nutrition is important for good health。 Avoid food with lots of sugar and fat。 Eat plenty of foods high in protein。 Thirdly， wed better do morning exercise every day， do sports frequently to make our bodies strong。 Besides， we have to avoid too much work pressure。 Getti
23、ng too tired all the time may definitely weaken our defense system， making us get sick easily。 Finally， we have to get rid of those bad habits that damage our health， such as drinking and smoking。In conclusion， if we stick to things according to the aspects mentioned above， well lead a healthy life

28、 - the law of life and death.The law forms natural, can not be easily changed, nor transfer with the peoples will. People can only obey the rulers, not change the law. So we insist on that nature can not be conquered. 7. Why is economics regarded as a science?为什么经济学被认为是一门科学?The field of economics us
29、es scientific methodology to unveil truths about its nature. Economists often perform experiments and use scientific tools for crafting analyses. However, much of the attention paid to economics focuses on its non-scientific aspects.At its core, the field of economics tries to uncover basic universa
30、l facts. Like many sciences, economics has a strong foundation in mathematics, and it is developed by testing hypotheses. In many ways, economics can be viewed as a field of applied psychology. Understanding how humans behave in certain situations and respond to changes is essential for the fields d
31、evelopment.Unlike the so-called hard sciences, however, many economic hypotheses are difficult to test. Economic systems are run by governments, and it is immoral to cause economic harm to individuals and populations. With its strong mathematical foundation and its reliance on human behavior, econom
32、ics straddles the gap between more basic types of science and so-called soft sciences such as anthropology and sociology.In the media and in politics, however, the scientific aspects of the field are often ignored. Politicians might discuss the morality of different economic policies, and they might
33、 make promises based on faulty economic premises. Because economic policies have such a dramatic effect on the lives of voters, politicians spend a considerable amount of time developing a message that influences voters.8. Comment on the impact of globalization on culture. 评论全球化对文化的影响。Briefly speaki
34、ng, we wear a pair of NIKE shoes, eat hamburgers in KFC and talk with friends with an I-phone in our hands. So this is the globalization. Even though different people have different views, it is necessary to notice the tremendous impact on that globalization has been brought to our life. As for me,
35、Id like to discuss it with following 3 points.Firstly, globalization makes our material and moral life more colorful. In turns, it provides foreigners with more chances to know all-sided Chinese culture.China,as one of the four ancient civilizations, has a long history and splendid national culture.
36、 After more than 5000 years of developing, this ancient country now has measurable extensive knowledge and profound scholarship. Foreigners can surf on the Internet and get more information about China. And also they can find a lot of Chinese Town and taste many Chinese characteristic food. It is al
37、so a good way to learn more custom on Chinese food. That means they can get what we want without being in China.Secondly, with the foreign culture rushing to us like a heavy flood, it contributes us to rethink and to take actions to protect our traditional culture. Because of globalization, we do re
38、alize that as one of the successor of Chinese culture, its our duty responsibilities to inherit and carry forward our culture. Meanwhile, we should also have an inclusive and open attitude to the rest of the world culture .When the South Korea asked for that the Dragon Boat Festival belongs to their
39、 countrys traditional culture, most of us was shocked and annoyed. We begin to pay attention to the protection of our own culture.Thus,our culture will be kept and even promoted.Thirdly, as we know ,every coin has two sides. On one hand ,it is a chance for our traditional culture.On the other hand ,
40、its also a challenge.There are more and more famous foreign brands and festival taking root in our coutry .More and more lovers spend their Valentines day together on 14th Feb instead of the 15th July,the traditional Valentines day in our China.Even they may remember the date of Christmas Day more c
41、learly rather than the date of Dragon Boat Festival.So,at the present state,its urgent to rejuvenated our culture and carry foward it to the world.And thats it.As a current college student ,we should make a good judgment on the relationship of globalization and our traditional culture.That is,we nee
42、d to absorb the good factors and abolish the bad.9. In what ways is new form of journalism different from traditional media?新的新闻形式与传统媒体有什么不同?10. Nowadays, people all over the world share the same fashions, advertising, brands, eating habits and TV channels. Do the disadvantages of this trend outweig
43、h the advantages?如今，世界各地的人们都有同样的时尚、广告、品牌、饮食习惯和电视频道。这种趋势的缺点是否大于优点?As to the beneficial effects to a corporation, it is capable to decide on a flexible model for the further growth which allows it to make the most use of local and overseas markets. For example, under the background of globalization, i
44、nternational trade is a common form of business, therefore, the firm can select to expand the business either in the local nation or across border to the appropriate nations where can help to achieve the most amount of profits, which is the main purpose of every corporation. Moreover, To expand to o
45、ther countries means that has a wider market owning new customer groups with various demands, which consequently means that there hides huge business opportunities and a more generous margins. In a word, the increasing liberalization of markets all over the world are provided by globalization to giv
46、e multinational companies access to customers and profit margin unexpected.Adversely, in despite of so many advantages, the opposite aspects can not be ignored and weigh even more. Firstly, globalization may lead the disadvantaged companies to the situation of bankruptcy. In order to gain better dev
47、elopment, a firm is much difficult to avoid the fierce competition in an open and liberal economic environment. However, such environment and conditions indeed do not avail for those weaker companies with low level of technology and productivity, low quality of the staff and more backward level of m
48、anagement, which are easier eliminated from the market than companies with a powerful and abundant strength. Secondly, in the open globe, corporations have to bear higher risk in the process of merger, acquisition or engaging normal commercial activities. Before the implementation of a commercial decision, accurate expectation of earnings and reasonable capital amount of investment should be projected according to the repeated investigation to the targ
