Only Stricter Traffic Laws Can Prevent Accidents
Though the possibility of living a long and happy life is greater than ever before, every day we cites the incredible slaughter of men, women and children on the roads. Man versus the motorcar! It is a neverending battle which man is losing. Thousands of people in the world are killed or horribly mutilated each year and we are quietly sitting back and letting it happen.
It has been rightly said that when a man is sitting behind a steering wheel, his car becomes the extension of his personality. There is no doubt that the motorcar often brings out a mans very worst qualities. People who are normally quiet and pleasant may become unrecognizable when they are behind a steeringwheel. They are illmannered and aggressive, willful as twoyear olds and utterly selfish.
The surprising thing is that society smiles so benignly on the motorist and seems to condone his behavior. Everything is done for his convenience. Cities are allowed to become almost uninhabitable because of heavy traffic; the countryside is desecrated by road networks; and the mass annual slaughter becomes nothing more than a statistic, to be conveniently forgotten.
It is high time a world code were created to reduce this senseless waste of human life. With regard to driving, laws of some countries are notoriously lax and even the strictest are not strict enough. A code which was universally accepted could only have dramatically beneficial effect on the accident rate.

只有制定更嚴(yán)格的法律才能防止事故發(fā)生
盡管現(xiàn)在幸福和長壽比以前更容易得到，但每天卻有很多人喪身車輪。人和車的沖突永無止境，人卻是受害者。世界上每年都有成千上萬的人死于車禍，我們再也不能坐視不管。醫(yī)學(xué)全在線網(wǎng)站www.med126.com
有一種說法我認(rèn)為是對的，每當(dāng)人們手握方向盤的時(shí)候，他們的個(gè)性就顯露出來了。勿容置疑汽車將人們的惡性顯露出來。平時(shí)安靜的人一開車馬上變得讓人認(rèn)不出。他們變得具有攻擊性，極度自私，像兩歲孩子一樣任性。
令人驚奇的是人們對于肇事者的態(tài)度十分縱容。為他們提供了各種便利條件。由于嚴(yán)重的交通擁擠，城市幾乎變得不適合認(rèn)居住。鄉(xiāng)村也被各種公路網(wǎng)所污染。大量的交通死亡人數(shù)也只不過是一些數(shù)字，被人們所遺忘。
我們必須要建立一種世界制度來制止這種對生命的扼殺。一些國家關(guān)于駕駛的法律太松懈，甚至最嚴(yán)酷的法律也是那么無力。被普遍接受的世界制度對于降低事故率只會(huì)有利。
范文2
There is a heated discussion on airconditioner "price battle" in a newspaper.
Write an essay to the newspaper
1) giving a brief introduction to the issue.
2) stating your view about the "price battle", and
3) justifying your prediction.
You should write 160-200 words.
With the rapid advances in the living standard of the Chinese people in recent years, airconditioners have joined other household electrical appliances as items in great demand. However, output has far exceeded supply, as manufacturers have scrambled for sales in this profitable market. As a result, fierce competition has driven them to resort to all sorts of measures to pull ahead of their rivals and avoid going bankrupt.
These measures include aggressive advertising campaigns, offering a free gift with every purchase of an airconditioner, and most important of all, lowering prices. Price wars are a common phenomenon whenever supply outstrips demand in a freemarket economy, and Chinas newly liberalized economy is no exception. Nevertheless, I do not think we will see a repeat of the recent price war in the airconditioner market in the future
I have three reasons for my prediction. The first is that the earlier round of pricecutting eliminated the lessefficient manufacturers from the industry; so there are fewer companies supplying the market. The second is that the government has taken measures to regulate the airconditioner market, eliminating the chaos that price wars entail. And the third is that with Chinas admission to the WTO, manufacturers will have to offer more attractive-not cheaper-products.
譯文
隨著近年來中國人民生活水平的快速提高，空調(diào)也同其他家用電器一樣有了廣大的市場。但是，產(chǎn)量遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)超過了需求量，制造商只能在這一領(lǐng)域種掙扎。結(jié)果，激烈的競爭使得各個(gè)制造商采取了各種措施超過其競爭者而使自己免于破產(chǎn)。
這些措施包括大規(guī)模的廣告，提供免費(fèi)禮物，當(dāng)然最重要的是降價(jià)。在供大于求的自由市場條件下，價(jià)格戰(zhàn)是非常普遍的。中國也不例外。然而，我認(rèn)為將來這種空調(diào)價(jià)格戰(zhàn)不會(huì)再重演。
我有三個(gè)理由。第一，首輪的競爭已經(jīng)淘汰了那些效率低下的制造商。所以市場上的供應(yīng)將減少。第二，政府已經(jīng)采取了措施來規(guī)范空調(diào)市場，消除了價(jià)格戰(zhàn)的混亂。第三，中國加入WTO后，制造商只能靠提供更好的而不是最便宜的商品來贏得市場。
