I am a Senior 1 student, often quarrelled with my mother over that I can watch TV after school. My mother held the view that students in Senior High School are so busy to spare any time to watch TV. It seems to her that once I allowed to do that I will forget all about my study. She also thinks that is bad for my eyes to watch TV too often. But I really can’t receive her ideas. I think it is relaxing to watch TV after day’s hard work. Not only can it relax my mind, and it can broaden my knowledge. Now we have at last reached an agreement that I can only watch TV at weekends, and the programs should be limited for news and programs of sports and science.

 Most senior high school students are working hard day and night to pass the college entrance    examination, gaining ____ to a university.

  A. application                B. connection                      C. admission                    D. agreement

While all my classmates seen to be crazy about a one-way ticket to Mars(火星), I’d rather say Mars is totally unsuitable for human existence. People won’t have enough food supplies there, and the terrible environment would make it impossible for them to live a long life. Besides, the journey won’t be safe. Can anybody explain to me just why people would go to Mars, never to return?

Here are the things you can think of: the desire to explore a foreign and unique environment, the excitement of being the first humans to open up a new world, the expectation of fame and glory…For scientists there is another reason. Their observations and research will probably lead to great scientific achievements.

Donal Trollop, Canada

There are already too many people on the Earth. I think that sometime before the end of the century, there will be a human colony(殖民地)on Mars. It will happen when people finally realize that tow-way trips to the red planet Mars are unnecessary. Most of the danger of space Flight is in the launches(發(fā)射) and landings. Cutting the trip home would therefore reduce the danger of accidents, save a lot of money, and open the way to building an everlasting human settlement on another world.

Enough supplies can be sent on ahead. And every two years more supplies and more people will needs, and Mars is far more pleasant than the other planets in the outer space.

    Collecting information about pre-employment and filling out an application form                                                                                              (申請表)are closely connected, However, filling out an application form is much easier because you have total control and have enough time to think and plan.

    That you are given a form to fill out does not necessarily mean that you have to answer all the questions in it. If the form contains unclear questions or terms and conditions, you can make some changes  before signing (簽約)it, or refuse to answer some of the questions. What you must realize is that those terms and conditions have been written by highly paid lawyers. Each word is important, or it would not be there; and you can be sure that there is not anything there that is written with your interests in mind.

    I know what I speak of because, as a lawyer for Litton Industries. I wrote the terms and conditions that were printed on the back of order forms, I wrote the most tiring terms and conditions anyone has ever seen. Still, 90 percent of the buyers would just sign on them without questioning anything, If anyone questions them. We would reach an agreement on something that was acceptable to both sides.

    So when you see a preprinted application that contains questions or terms and conditions, read it all and read it slowly. If you don’t like something, you can simply change the parts you don’t like, Remember that everything can be settled by discussion. To what degree it can be settled depends on your position(立場),of course, and that is something only you can determine.
