projects such as the World Expo and the Olympic Games. Doing volunteer work is a useful way for students to enhance their professional

skills and social experience as well as promoting their moral development. The majority of college students believe that it is their duty and

harmony.

The Free Hugs Campaign in its present form was started by an Australian man Juan Mann in June 2004, when he began giving out hugs in

the Pitt Street Mall in central Sydney. Juan’s mission was to reach out and hug a stranger to brighten up their lives. Juan had been living in

London when his world turned upside down and he’d had to come home.

2

By the time his plane landed back in Sydney, all he had left was a carry-on bag full of clothes and a world of troubles. So he got some

cardboard and a marker and made a sign, with the words “Free Hugs” on both sides. He had to wait 15 minutes before an elderly lady came

up to him and gave him a hug. Thanks to his friend Shimon Moore, lead singer for Sick Puppies, who recorded video footage of Juan and his

fellow huggers, this campaign became famous around the world. Today the “Free Hug” campaign is gaining in popularity and is making the

world a warmer place to live in.

目前这种形式的“抱抱团”运动是澳大利亚人胡安 · 曼恩发起的。2004 年 6 月,他开始在悉尼市中心的皮特街购物中心给人送去

拥抱。胡安要做的是伸出胳膊拥抱陌生人,点亮他们的人生。胡安以前住在伦敦,后来他的生活变得一团糟,不得不回家。等他乘

飞机回到悉尼,他只剩下一个塞满衣服的手提行李包和一大堆的麻烦。于是,他找到一块硬纸板和一只马克笔,做了一个指示牌,

在牌子的两面写上“免费拥抱” 。他等了 15 分钟才有一个老太太走上前来,给了他一个拥抱。他的朋友, “病小狗”乐队的主唱希

蒙 · 摩尔,给胡安和他的“抱抱团”成员拍了一段录像,使得“抱抱团”运动在全世界有了更大的知名度。如今, “抱抱团”运动日渐

流行,它使我们生活的这个世界更加温暖。

“不以物喜,不以己悲”出自北宋文学家范仲淹的名著《岳阳楼记》,意思是凡事都要以一颗平常心看待,不因外部事物的好坏和自

己的得失而或喜或悲。它是一种思想境界,体现了中国的传统道家思想,教导人们追求一种淡然 (detached) 平静的心态。在物质

文明高度发达的今天,保持这样的心态仍显得十分重要。当你拥有了这种心境,生活就会多一些阳光,多一些快乐。

Be not pleased by external gains, nor saddened by personal losses is a statement from the essay “Remarks of Yueyang Tower” by Fan

Zhongyan, a writer of the Northern Song Dynasty. The statement means one should look at and accept things as they are, and remain

unbothered by external matters or personal gains or losses. It is a mental outlook that reflects the traditional Taoist ideas of China, instructing

people to become calm and detached. Even today, when we have a highly developed material civilization, keeping such a state of mind is still

important. When you possess such a state of mind, you will be able to live a brighter and more joyous life.

Although extreme sports are inherently dangerous and any mistake could result in injury or even death, they are getting so popular in the

Western countries that they attract more “players ” than some traditional team sports. People like extreme sports such as mountaineering,

skiing and rock climbing because these pursuits push them further than they ever thought possible. These activities offer a fantastic chance to

see parts of the coastline and landscape one can’t access in traditional sports. In a traditional sporting event, athletes compete against each

other under controlled circumstances, but athletes in extreme sports compete not only against other athletes, but also against environmental

obstacles and er extreme sports they do, they need to make sure they use the appropriate equipment and the proper safety

precautions. Today, people are seeing a greater variety of extreme sports available, each one more unusual than the last.

尽管极限运动本身很危险,任何闪失都会造成伤害甚至死亡,但这种运动在西方国家却非常流行,吸引的“运动员”比一些传统的团

队体育项目还要多。人们喜欢极限运动是因为他们可以通过参加像登山、滑雪和攀岩这样的极限运动来突破人类的极限。极限运动

给人提供欣赏海岸线和风景的绝佳机会,这样的美景在传统运动中是看不到的。在传统的体育赛事中,运动员在限定的环境里互相

竞争,而极限运动的运动员不仅要互相竞争,还要应对环境的障碍和挑战。不论参加哪一项极限运动,运动员都要确保他们使用合

适的装备,采取恰当的安全防护措施。如今有越来越多的极限运动问世,每一个都比上一个更加独特。

There are three reasons why table tennis is called China’s national game. First, up to now China has won more than 200 world titles in table

tennis, which has earned great honour for the country. Second, table tennis is widely enjoyed by the general public, and is one of the most

popular amateur recreational sports in China. Finally, table tennis helps promote China’s friendly exchanges with foreign countries. The

friendly table tennis match between China and the US, which took place in Beijing in 1971, is an event known to history as “ping-pong

diplomacy”, and helped resume Sino-US diplomatic relations. Today, while developing its own table tennis, China also has top table-tennis

players playing the game in other countries. This plays a positive role in promoting the global development of the game of table tennis.

There have been many remarkable technological innovations in recent years, including the Internet, personal computer systems, and hand

held devices. The Internet continues to evolve, and to make our daily lives easier. However, despite all the benefits of high-tech advancement,

it also poses new problems that we have to deal with. One of these is cybercrime, which is a growing concern for ordinary people as well as

experts. Experts have developed various ways to prevent cybercrime targeted at individuals, families, businesses, and government agencies.

We can also protect ourselves against cybercrime targeted at individuals by limiting the amount of personal information we put online. We

must never provide any personal data to unknown agencies or individuals online. It is also important to be cautious about opening email

attachments and installing programs on our computers.

Although extreme sports are inherently dangerous and any mistake could result in injury or even death, they are getting so popular in the

Western countries that they attract more “players ” than some traditional team sports. People like extreme sports such as mountaineering,

skiing and rock climbing because these pursuits push them further than they ever thought possible. These activities offer a fantastic chance to

see parts of the coastline and landscape one can’t access in traditional sports. In a traditional sporting event, athletes compete against each

other under controlled circumstances, but athletes in extreme sports compete not only against other athletes, but also against environmental

obstacles and er extreme sports they do, they need to make sure they use the appropriate equipment and the proper safety

precautions. Today, people are seeing a greater variety of extreme sports available, each one more unusual than the last.

尽管极限运动本身很危险,任何闪失都会造成伤害甚至死亡,但这种运动在西方国家却非常流行,吸引的“运动员”比一些传统的团

队体育项目还要多。人们喜欢极限运动是因为他们可以通过参加像登山、滑雪和攀岩这样的极限运动来突破人类的极限。极限运动

给人提供欣赏海岸线和风景的绝佳机会,这样的美景在传统运动中是看不到的。在传统的体育赛事中,运动员在限定的环境里互相

竞争,而极限运动的运动员不仅要互相竞争,还要应对环境的障碍和挑战。不论参加哪一项极限运动,运动员都要确保他们使用合

适的装备,采取恰当的安全防护措施。如今有越来越多的极限运动问世,每一个都比上一个更加独特。

popular amateur recreational sports in China. Finally, table tennis helps promote China’s friendly exchanges with foreign countries. The

There have been many remarkable technological innovations in recent years, including the Internet, personal computer systems, and hand

held devices. The Internet continues to evolve, and to make our daily lives easier. However, despite all the benefits of high-tech advancement,

it also poses new problems that we have to deal with. One of these is cybercrime, which is a growing concern for ordinary people as well as

experts. Experts have developed various ways to prevent cybercrime targeted at individuals, families, businesses, and government agencies.

We can also protect ourselves against cybercrime targeted at individuals by limiting the amount of personal information we put online. We

must never provide any personal data to unknown agencies or individuals online. It is also important to be cautious about opening email

attachments and installing programs on our computers.

防那些要求在电脑上进行安装的网站或邮箱附件,这一点也十分重要。
