Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and assignment below: (2007.1)
The education people receive does not occur primarily in school. Young people are formed by their experiences with parents, teachers, peers, and even strangers on the street, and by the sports teams they play for, the shopping malls they frequent, the songs they hear, and the shows they watch. Schools, while certainly important, constitute only a relatively small part of education.
Adapted from Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, “Education for the Twenty-First Century”
Assignment: Is education primarily the result of influences other than school? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observation.
1. 题目翻译：
人们所受的教育并非主要来源于学校。年轻人的人生是父母、老师、朋友、甚至是街上的陌生人、他们所效力的球队、经常光顾的商场，听过的歌曲、看过的节目共同作用的结果。尽管学校很重要，仅仅是教育的一部分。
题目：教育主要受学校之外的东西所影响吗?
2. 审题关键词：education, other than school
3. 论证分析-各段核心提纲：
正：For young people, education is everywhere. They often learn by osmosis, not solely in school.
反：In school, young people learn voluntarily. Thus, the result of education can be better controlled.
补：We should pay proper attention to other forms of education.
2007.5 欧洲
Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and assignment below: (2007.5)
We do not take the time to determine right from wrong. Reflecting on the difference between right and wrong is hard work. It is so much easier to follow the crowd, going along with what is popular rather than risking the disapproval of others by voicing an objection of any kind.
Adapted from Stephen J. Carter, Integrity
Assignment: Is it always best to determine one's own views of right and wrong, or can we benefit from following the crowd? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observation.
1. 题目翻译：
我们不花时间确定对错。思考对错的区别是很困难的。随波逐流比冒着被别人反对的危险容易得多。
题目：自己判断对错还是随波逐流更好?
2. 审题关键词：right and wrong, follow the crowd
3. 论证分析-各段核心提纲：
自己判断对错：It is good to live with principles because your own conscience can prevent you from doing the wrong things.
随波逐流：Following the crowd can prevent you from being blamed by others for not having the same values with them.
2007.10 欧洲
Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and assignment below: (2007.10)
All people who have achieved greatness in something knew what they excelled at. These people identified the skills that made them special—good judgment, or courage, or a special artistic or literary talent—and focused on developing these skills. Yet most people achieve superiority in nothing because they fail to identify and develop their greatest attribute.
Adapted from Baltasar Graciány Morales, The Art of Worldly Wisdom
Assignment: Do people achieve greatness only by finding out what they are especially good at and developing that attribute above all else? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations.
1. 题目翻译：
所有成就伟大的人都清楚自己擅长的东西。这些人能发现让他们变得特别的技能(有时也是好的判断力、勇气、或者是特别的艺术或者文学天赋)并且专心培养这些技能。然而大多数人一事无成，因为他们未能成功发现和发展他们最好的天赋。
题目：人们只有发现自己特别的天赋并且发展它们才能取得成功吗?
2. 审题关键词：greatness, good at, attribute
3. 论证分析-各段核心提纲：
正：Usually, people especially love to do the things they like. Thus, they can combine their interests with their talents, and have a better chance of success.
反：Sometimes, when trying to develop their special talent, all the fun of doing it will be deprived.
补：Talent can only attribute to a small part of your success. What matters more is diligence and commitment.
