My opinion on certificate craze
The growing tendency among college students to get all kinds of certificates has now evolved into a craze. Just randomly ask a student what he or she is busily engaged in doing, quite possibly, you would get the answer that he or she is preparing for a certificate of some kind. So, why's the craze?
The reason behind this phenomenon is common —the enormous pressure of finding a job. Faced with a harsh job market, most students have no choice but to seek more certificates to parlay their qualifications. Another factor is that diploma and certificates still weighs heavily in terms of signifying one's ability. For the sake of increasing their odds of landing a better job, the students are compelled to run from one exam to another.
Though I have an open mind toward the craze on certificates, I suggest that students should be more rational when it comes to certificates, since they do not necessarily tell their ability. Instead, they should be more involved in learning and capability boosting, thus, opportunities would come quite naturally.

本文有待提高之處：
1. 文章結(jié)構(gòu)上，能看得出該同學(xué)試圖采用議論文的“三段式”（提出問題、分析問題、解決問題）。邏輯嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)，論證嚴(yán)密；句式表達(dá)靈活，用語較為地道。
2. 微觀語言點(diǎn)方面，有個(gè)主謂一致的方面的錯(cuò)誤（diploma and certificates still weighs heavily）；有些語句稍顯啰嗦，比quite possibly, you would get the answer that… 大可簡(jiǎn)化成you'd most likely be told that… 更好，意思沒有絲毫減損，表達(dá)力反而增強(qiáng)許多；另外某些用語多重復(fù)，比如job多次出現(xiàn)；為了避免此類現(xiàn)象，文中的the enormous pressure of finding a job 不妨改為 the enormous pressure of getting employed。
從整體看，本篇文章不錯(cuò)，值得參考借鑒，不過用于方面還有待提高。

Certificate craze
Recently the phenomenon of certificate craze has become a big concern of the public. It is also a new craze in the university, which seems like a routine activity on campus, for certificates do play a vital role when students look for a decent job.
Admittedly, there are different purposes behind this phenomenon. Some people aim at certificates because of the employment pressure. With the admission expansion of colleges, a great many graduates have to face the fierce competition in the job market. So it is the certificates that can make them more competitive. However, some others consider all the diploma and certificates important standards by which a person's ability can be measured. They spare no effort to get the certificates for the sole purpose of proving that they are qualified in a certain field. Moreover, there are those who just want to enrich their life by preparing for the certificates because they really enjoy their progress.
From my point of view, we should be more rational when it comes to certificates, since certificates do not necessarily prove one's ability. Being crazy in getting certifications blindly is nothing but wasting time. To conclude, we should focus on improving our ability but not merely getting a certificate.
文章點(diǎn)評(píng)：
本次六級(jí)作文探討的是考生比較熟悉的話題——高?？甲C書熱；本次試題延續(xù)了以往的考試風(fēng)格，關(guān)注點(diǎn)仍然放在與學(xué)生息息相關(guān)的話題上；從選題角度來說，考生還是比較好把握的。需要注意的是由于第二部分可能需要列出多點(diǎn)原因，考生在該部分需要注意論述的條理性；此外，在保證句法通順的前提下，盡可能做到表達(dá)的多樣化。
首先，在考生拿到題目的時(shí)候，應(yīng)該先認(rèn)真審題，心里大致對(duì)接下來文章的安排有一個(gè)底。提起證書熱的話，很多考生都會(huì)聯(lián)想到就業(yè)壓力，學(xué)校給予的壓力以及學(xué)生自身的需求；因此，全文可做如下安排；
第一段，考生可以整體闡述一下該話題，陳述下目前存在的考證熱現(xiàn)象；
第二段，考生可以對(duì)考證熱背后存在的各種各樣的目的進(jìn)行拓展；比如說由于日益嚴(yán)重的就業(yè)壓力，以及有的學(xué)校時(shí)不時(shí)給學(xué)生灌輸?shù)膲毫?；或者是學(xué)生自身從身邊感受到的一些壓力，都可能導(dǎo)致考證熱的產(chǎn)生。
第三段要求考生對(duì)于該現(xiàn)象給出自己的理解，考生應(yīng)在這里持一種客觀的態(tài)度。因?yàn)榭甲C本身并不是一種錯(cuò)誤，但是考生應(yīng)當(dāng)注意從題目“考證熱”出發(fā)，重點(diǎn)放在“熱”字上，對(duì)這一現(xiàn)象做出最理性的評(píng)述。
綜合來講，本篇文章觀點(diǎn)明確，思路清晰；在第二段給出的例證具有代表性；此外，文章中有用到不少的亮點(diǎn)詞匯；比較遺憾的是，由于時(shí)間和篇幅的限制，論證的展開還未完全挖掘出來，但在如此有限的條件下，可以稱得上佳作了。

The job market today is increasingly sophisticated, requiring workers to have specialized knowledge in their fields. As a result, becoming certified is a trend among today's job seeking youth. More and more people, students especially, look at obtaining certification as a means to getting a better job and, therefore, enjoying brighter future.
There are as many certificates as there are fields of study. Lawyers will take the LSAT, business majors will take the GMAT to further their study in the US, and those who study a foreign language, like English, might take the TOEFL, TOEIC, or any number of English certification exams.
Is this necessary? Or, is the “certification craze” just a trend that will eventually pass? I myself have obtained two different certifications: one in Japanese (N2) and another in teaching English as a foreign language (TEFL). Both of these certifications have been beneficial in getting good jobs.
Therefore, it is my opinion that, trend or not, the results of becoming certified are real and can be invaluable in opening up future opportunities.
文章點(diǎn)評(píng)：
1. 邏輯結(jié)構(gòu)上，本文大體也是按照“提出問題（考證熱的現(xiàn)象）”“分析問題（背后的動(dòng)力）”和“解決問題（個(gè)人的觀點(diǎn)）”的結(jié)構(gòu)展開。
2. 本文的亮點(diǎn)非常多，用語非常地道，用英語思維催動(dòng)出來的英語文章，才是真正的。相比用中式思維催動(dòng)出來的英語文章，這篇文章是很美味的，強(qiáng)烈建議大家背誦下來。大家記得《天龍八部》嗎？鳩摩智用小無相功催動(dòng)出的招式是敵不過藏經(jīng)閣里的掃地和尚的?？傊覀兇罂刹槐乜桃馐褂秒y詞難句，其實(shí)表意明確，用語地道的文章，就肯定可以拿到高分。

Everyone is looking for a good investment these days. And with stocks, currencies and companies all crashing, some are finding that taking the trip of a lifetime is actually a smart move right now. Prices are good, crowds are fewer and the dividends like expanded worldview, lifelong memories, the satisfaction of boosting the global economy—can't be easily snatched away. Sylvia and Paul Custerson, a retired couple from Cambridge, England, recently took a 16-day vacation to Namibia, where they went on bird-watching excursions. Later this year, they are planning a trip to Patagonia. "We're using our capital now," says Sylvia, "And why not? We're not getting any interest in the bank. If it's a place we really want to go, then we will go. We may as well travel while we're fit and healthy. "
Some travel agents are thriving in spite of the economy. "We've had more people booking in the first quarter of this year than last," says Hubert Moineau, founder of Tselana Travel, which is planning to introduce a new program of longer adventure trips, including polar expeditions and cruises in the Galápagos. "We're hearing things like, 'We don't know what the situation will be in six months so let's travel now' ", Ashley Toft, managing director of the U. K. tour operator Explore has been surprised to see an increase in last-minute bookings of high-priced trips to such places as India, Bhutan and Nepal. "It seems people would rather give up something else than the big trip," he says. Travel has become a necessity. It's just how we travel that is changing.
Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.
26. According to the speaker, why are some people willing to spend their money on travel these days?
答案：B）They think travel gives them their money's worth.

Passage Two

Somehow the old male and female stereotypes no longer fit. Men and women in this country haven't been fulfilling their traditional roles for some time now. And there seem to be fewer and fewer differences between the sexes. For instance, even though more women than men are still homemakers without paying jobs, women have been taking over more responsibility in the business world, earning higher salaries than ever before and entering fields of work that used to be exclusively male areas. At office meetings and in group discussions, they might speak up more often, express strong opinions and come up with more creative and practical ideas than their male colleagues. Several days ago, my 23-year-old daughter came to me with some important news. Not only had she found the highest paying job of her career, but she'd also accepted a date with the most charming men she'd ever met.
“Really?”, I responded,” tell me about them.”
“Receptionist in an attorney's office and a welder at a construction site.” She answered in a matter-of-fact way. The interesting thing is my daughter's date is the receptionist and my daughter is the welder. The old stereotypes of men's and women's work have been changing more quickly than ever before, except perhaps in my own marriage.
“Who's going to mow the lawn? ” I asked my husband this morning.
“Oh, I will,” he answered politely. ”That's men's work. ”
“What?” Irritated, I raised my voice. “That's a ridiculous stereotype. I'll show you who can do the best job on the lawn.”
The work took 3 hours and I did it all myself.
Questions 29 to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard.
29. What is the speaker mainly talking about?
答案：B) The changing roles played by men and women.
30. What might women do at office meetings nowadays according to the speaker?
答案：A) Offer more creative and practical ideas than men.
31. Why did the speaker mow the lawn herself that morning?
答案：C) To show that women are capable of doing what men do.

Florence Hayes is a journalist for the Green Ville Journal, the daily newspaper in town. Specifically she covers crime in the Green Ville area. This responsibility takes her to many different places every week——the police station, the court and the hospital. Most of the crimes that she writes about fall into two groups: violent crimes and crimes against property. There isn't much violent crime in a small town like Green Ville, or at least not as much as in the large urban areas. But assaults often occur on Friday and Saturday nights, near the bars downtown. There're also one or two rapes on campus every semester. Florence is very interested in this type of crime and tries to write a long article about each one. She expects that this will make women more careful when they walk around Green Ville alone at night
Fortunately, there were usually no murders in Green Ville. Crimes against property make up most of Miss Heyes' reporting. They range from minor cases of deliberate damaging of things to much more serious offenses, such as car accidents involving drunk drivers or bank robberies but Florence has to report all of these violations from the thief who took typewriters from every unlock room in the dormitory to the thief who stole one million dollars worth of art work from the university museum. Miss Hayes enjoys working for a newspaper but she sometimes gets unhappy about all the crime she has to report. She would prefer to start writing about something more interesting and less unpleasant such as local news or politics, maybe next year

Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.
32. What is Florence Hayes' main responsibility as a journalist?

答案：D: It has fewer violent crimes than big cities.
34. What do we learn about crimes against property in the Greenville area?

In America, people are faced with more and more decisions every day, whether it's picking one of thirty-one ice cream flavors, or deciding whether and when to get married. That sounds like a great thing, but as a recent study has shown, too many choices can make us confused, unhappy, even paralyzed with indecision. ‘That's particularly true when it comes to the work place', says Barry Schwartz, an author of six books about human behavior. Students are graduating with a variety of skills and interests, but often find themselves overwhelmed when it comes to choosing an ultimate career goal. In a study, Schwartz observed decision-making among college students during their senior year. Based on answers to questions regarding their job hunting strategies and career decisions, he divided the students into two groups：maximizers, who consider every possible option, and satisficers, who look until they find an option that is good enough. You might expect that the student who had undertaken the most exhausted search would be the most satisfied with their final decision, but it turns out that's not true. Schwartz found that while maximizers ended up with better-paying jobs than satisficers on average, they weren't as happy with their decision. The reason why these people feel less satisfied is that a world of possibilities may also be a world of missed opportunities. When you look at every possible option, you tend to focus more on what was given up than what was gained. After surveying every option, a person is more acutely aware of the opportunities they had to turn down to pursue just one career.

第一段，考生可以整體闡述一下該話題，陳述下目前存在的考證熱現(xiàn)象；
第二段，考生可以對(duì)考證熱背后存在的各種各樣的目的進(jìn)行拓展；比如說由于日益嚴(yán)重的就業(yè)壓力，以及有的學(xué)校時(shí)不時(shí)給學(xué)生灌輸?shù)膲毫?；或者是學(xué)生自身從身邊感受到的一些壓力，都可能導(dǎo)致考證熱的產(chǎn)生。
第三段要求考生對(duì)于該現(xiàn)象給出自己的理解，考生應(yīng)在這里持一種客觀的態(tài)度。因?yàn)榭甲C本身并不是一種錯(cuò)誤，但是考生應(yīng)當(dāng)注意從題目“考證熱”出發(fā)，重點(diǎn)放在“熱”字上，對(duì)這一現(xiàn)象做出最理性的評(píng)述。
綜合來講，本篇文章觀點(diǎn)明確，思路清晰；在第二段給出的例證具有代表性；此外，文章中有用到不少的亮點(diǎn)詞匯；比較遺憾的是，由于時(shí)間和篇幅的限制，論證的展開還未完全挖掘出來，但在如此有限的條件下，可以稱得上佳作了。

The job market today is increasingly sophisticated, requiring workers to have specialized knowledge in their fields. As a result, becoming certified is a trend among today's job seeking youth. More and more people, students especially, look at obtaining certification as a means to getting a better job and, therefore, enjoying brighter future.
There are as many certificates as there are fields of study. Lawyers will take the LSAT, business majors will take the GMAT to further their study in the US, and those who study a foreign language, like English, might take the TOEFL, TOEIC, or any number of English certification exams.
Is this necessary? Or, is the “certification craze” just a trend that will eventually pass? I myself have obtained two different certifications: one in Japanese (N2) and another in teaching English as a foreign language (TEFL). Both of these certifications have been beneficial in getting good jobs.
Therefore, it is my opinion that, trend or not, the results of becoming certified are real and can be invaluable in opening up future opportunities.
文章點(diǎn)評(píng)：
1. 邏輯結(jié)構(gòu)上，本文大體也是按照“提出問題（考證熱的現(xiàn)象）”“分析問題（背后的動(dòng)力）”和“解決問題（個(gè)人的觀點(diǎn)）”的結(jié)構(gòu)展開。
2. 本文的亮點(diǎn)非常多，用語非常地道，用英語思維催動(dòng)出來的英語文章，才是真正的。相比用中式思維催動(dòng)出來的英語文章，這篇文章是很美味的，強(qiáng)烈建議大家背誦下來。大家記得《天龍八部》嗎？鳩摩智用小無相功催動(dòng)出的招式是敵不過藏經(jīng)閣里的掃地和尚的?？傊覀兇罂刹槐乜桃馐褂秒y詞難句，其實(shí)表意明確，用語地道的文章，就肯定可以拿到高分。

Everyone is looking for a good investment these days. And with stocks, currencies and companies all crashing, some are finding that taking the trip of a lifetime is actually a smart move right now. Prices are good, crowds are fewer and the dividends like expanded worldview, lifelong memories, the satisfaction of boosting the global economy—can't be easily snatched away. Sylvia and Paul Custerson, a retired couple from Cambridge, England, recently took a 16-day vacation to Namibia, where they went on bird-watching excursions. Later this year, they are planning a trip to Patagonia. "We're using our capital now," says Sylvia, "And why not? We're not getting any interest in the bank. If it's a place we really want to go, then we will go. We may as well travel while we're fit and healthy. "
Some travel agents are thriving in spite of the economy. "We've had more people booking in the first quarter of this year than last," says Hubert Moineau, founder of Tselana Travel, which is planning to introduce a new program of longer adventure trips, including polar expeditions and cruises in the Galápagos. "We're hearing things like, 'We don't know what the situation will be in six months so let's travel now' ", Ashley Toft, managing director of the U. K. tour operator Explore has been surprised to see an increase in last-minute bookings of high-priced trips to such places as India, Bhutan and Nepal. "It seems people would rather give up something else than the big trip," he says. Travel has become a necessity. It's just how we travel that is changing.

Passage Two

Somehow the old male and female stereotypes no longer fit. Men and women in this country haven't been fulfilling their traditional roles for some time now. And there seem to be fewer and fewer differences between the sexes. For instance, even though more women than men are still homemakers without paying jobs, women have been taking over more responsibility in the business world, earning higher salaries than ever before and entering fields of work that used to be exclusively male areas. At office meetings and in group discussions, they might speak up more often, express strong opinions and come up with more creative and practical ideas than their male colleagues. Several days ago, my 23-year-old daughter came to me with some important news. Not only had she found the highest paying job of her career, but she'd also accepted a date with the most charming men she'd ever met.
“Really?”, I responded,” tell me about them.”
“Receptionist in an attorney's office and a welder at a construction site.” She answered in a matter-of-fact way. The interesting thing is my daughter's date is the receptionist and my daughter is the welder. The old stereotypes of men's and women's work have been changing more quickly than ever before, except perhaps in my own marriage.
“Who's going to mow the lawn? ” I asked my husband this morning.
“Oh, I will,” he answered politely. ”That's men's work. ”
“What?” Irritated, I raised my voice. “That's a ridiculous stereotype. I'll show you who can do the best job on the lawn.”
The work took 3 hours and I did it all myself.
Questions 29 to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard.
29. What is the speaker mainly talking about?
答案：B) The changing roles played by men and women.
30. What might women do at office meetings nowadays according to the speaker?
答案：A) Offer more creative and practical ideas than men.
31. Why did the speaker mow the lawn herself that morning?
答案：C) To show that women are capable of doing what men do.

Florence Hayes is a journalist for the Green Ville Journal, the daily newspaper in town. Specifically she covers crime in the Green Ville area. This responsibility takes her to many different places every week——the police station, the court and the hospital. Most of the crimes that she writes about fall into two groups: violent crimes and crimes against property. There isn't much violent crime in a small town like Green Ville, or at least not as much as in the large urban areas. But assaults often occur on Friday and Saturday nights, near the bars downtown. There're also one or two rapes on campus every semester. Florence is very interested in this type of crime and tries to write a long article about each one. She expects that this will make women more careful when they walk around Green Ville alone at night
Fortunately, there were usually no murders in Green Ville. Crimes against property make up most of Miss Heyes' reporting. They range from minor cases of deliberate damaging of things to much more serious offenses, such as car accidents involving drunk drivers or bank robberies but Florence has to report all of these violations from the thief who took typewriters from every unlock room in the dormitory to the thief who stole one million dollars worth of art work from the university museum. Miss Hayes enjoys working for a newspaper but she sometimes gets unhappy about all the crime she has to report. She would prefer to start writing about something more interesting and less unpleasant such as local news or politics, maybe next year

In America, people are faced with more and more decisions every day, whether it's picking one of thirty-one ice cream flavors, or deciding whether and when to get married. That sounds like a great thing, but as a recent study has shown, too many choices can make us confused, unhappy, even paralyzed with indecision. ‘That's particularly true when it comes to the work place', says Barry Schwartz, an author of six books about human behavior. Students are graduating with a variety of skills and interests, but often find themselves overwhelmed when it comes to choosing an ultimate career goal. In a study, Schwartz observed decision-making among college students during their senior year. Based on answers to questions regarding their job hunting strategies and career decisions, he divided the students into two groups：maximizers, who consider every possible option, and satisficers, who look until they find an option that is good enough. You might expect that the student who had undertaken the most exhausted search would be the most satisfied with their final decision, but it turns out that's not true. Schwartz found that while maximizers ended up with better-paying jobs than satisficers on average, they weren't as happy with their decision. The reason why these people feel less satisfied is that a world of possibilities may also be a world of missed opportunities. When you look at every possible option, you tend to focus more on what was given up than what was gained. After surveying every option, a person is more acutely aware of the opportunities they had to turn down to pursue just one career.
