Unit1

1. Bob and I became brother-like friends in our childhood. We played, dined and discussed our ambitions together. Once grown up, he started for the West to make his fortune while I became a policeman in New York. Before his departure, we had dinner

together and we agreed that we would meet at the same place

exactly twenty years from that date and time, no matter what our conditions might be or from what distance we might have to

come.

Then came the day we were supposed to meet. I was on my beat then. Walking up to the appointed place which had been turned into a hardware store, I saw a man standing there with an

unlighted cigar in his mouth. Before I could speak, he told me

that he was waiting for a friend by the name of Jimmy Wells.

When he struck a match to light his cigar, I saw a pale face with keen eyes and a scar. I recognized him immediately. It was Bob, and it was also the face of the man wanted by the Chicago Police. For a moment I felt like telling him to escape right away. After all, we had been friends for so many years and he had traveled all the way to see me! But then my sense of duty told me the

right thing to do. I said good-bye to him and continued my

patrol, his last words still ringing in my ear: “I’ll wait for half an hour. Jimmy will keep his promise if he’s alive…” I then sent for a plain clothes man and had Bob arrested.

2.An Important Friend in My Life

Li Qiang, one of my classmates, is fun to be with. He is always wearing a broad smile as if life is forever "sunshine and

butterflies". One day, I revealed to him my worries and anxieties: I, an ordinary-looking girl, was 177 centimeters tall, even taller than any of the boys in my class. I thought no boy would like to date me. Besides, I was very poor at my academic courses.

He suggested that I should learn to be myself and then he

introduced me to a fashion show team of the university.

Encouraged, I decided to change myself. After a 3-month

training program on weekends, I could perform beautifully as a model, and surprisingly, I could concentrate on the required

academic courses as well. The applauses I won at each fashion show and the scholarship I earned proved that being myself was terrific. Since then, my life has changed a lot. Thus, Li Qiang

became an important friend of mine.

Last semester, we began to help young people who suffer

pressures from physical defects, academic failures or financial problems. We set up a Confidence Club. Those who come to us

for help find our work definitely beneficial. Our friendship has led me into a sparkling, rewarding life.

1. Male-female relations are indispensable to adults all

through their lives. But different generations handle them

differently. Our parents’ generation lived in an era of constraints, restraints, respect, admiration, and plenty of romance. They kept a distance from people of the opposite gender in order to

preserve the holiness of love and relationships.

My generation, on the other hand, began with countless crushes for the opposite sex just because of their superficial charm.

Harmless as it was, the love was as brief as soap bubbles. As we grew up, we came to the stage of developing real relationships, believing that love demanded a lot of give and not so much of

take.

By comparison, the younger generation is more open-minded

and less restricted in handling the matter of love and

relationships. They jump on the bandwagon of love with so

much haste that it is difficult for them to distinguish between

physical attraction and mental compatibilities.

In short, the younger generation focuses more on physical

beauty, closeness and passion, and they tend to seek what they want from the relationships. The other two generations give

priority to inner charm, intimacy, emotion and sharing in dealing with relationships.

2.What Do Girl Students Look for in Love and Life?

In order to know about girl students’ opinion about love and life, a survey with girl students was conducted in 2005 in two

universities — Chongqing University of Technology and

Business and East China Normal University. The survey sought answers to two questions: What do you look for first in a

boyfriend? What’s the most important thing for a happy life?

About one third of the students chose personality as the top

factor in choosing a boyfriend, followed by 27 percent focusing on abilities. Next came common interests and goals, favoured by 17 percent, with only 14 percent of students claiming appearance to be uppermost in their minds. Fewer still, 11 percent, rated

economic status as the first consideration.

As to their views about a happy life, nearly seventy percent of

the girls attached the greatest importance to marriage and family. “Career” was given top priority by just under 20 percent, while even fewer, around 9 percent, believed that money was the key to a happy life.

Based on the survey, we may conclude that nowadays, girl

students generally hold a rational attitude towards love and life. Admittedly, the improved material conditions of life explain

why girls take economic status and money rather lightly. But

contrary to the popular view that girls are more concerned about self-development in the workplace and social status, they still

regard upon marriage and family life as central to a happy life.

1. Man Does Not Live by Bread Alone

No one would doubt the truth that man’s existence relies

essentially on material things. We need them to get fed, clothed and sheltered. Once we are living near the breadline, we’ll feel frustrated and miserable.
