38. "In the age of television, reading books is not as important as it once was. People can learn as much by watching television as they can by reading books."
电视时代的读书已经不像以前那么重要了。人们通过看电视学到的和他们读书所能学到的一样多。
现代技术之电视和读书
234. "Most people prefer restrictions and regulations to absolute freedom of choice, although they would probably deny such a preference."
大多数人更喜欢约束和规则，而不是绝对的选择权，尽管他们可能会否认这样的倾向。
和约束
131.The following appeared in an environmental newsletter published in Tria Island.
"The marine sanctuary on Tria Island was established to protect certain marine mammals. Its regulations ban dumping and offshore oil drilling within 20 miles of Tria, but fishing is not banned. Currently many fish populations in Tria's waters are declining, a situation blamed on pollution. In contrast, the marine sanctuary on Omni Island has regulations that ban dumping, offshore oil drilling, and fishing within 10 miles of Omni and Omni reports no significant decline in its fish populations. Clearly, the decline in fish populations in Tria's waters is the result of overfishing, not pollution. Therefore, the best way to restore Tria's fish populations and to protect all of Tria's marine wildlife is to abandon our regulations and adopt those of Omni."
下来，为了让字数和思路不要太发散，我开始限制自己的思路和灵感。开始用新东方的模版套自己的文章。每次我恶狠狠的typing “firstly”的时候，我都会想起来我当年嘲笑英语演讲比赛的对手“You can’t speak a sentence without a firstly opening”。真是出来混，还得快。
那么，咋办涅？要是我的英文也像中文一样游刃有余，我肯定也烧一株高香，然后放手一写，来个“过巴瘾就死”。可惜，我可怜的英文水平就是小学6年级的水平，别笑，国外的小学生一天看得完哈利伯特，我的第一部原版魔法石花了比1天还多一点点地时间才看完，还不就是人家小学水平？所以，我虽然号称张三疯bark in front of dog的事情还是做不出来的。所以我就老老实实的从开始学起呗。
千万次的重复阅读范文，给我最多的感受就是，好的文章，有一种节奏感。下来要做的就是忘掉模板，其实看到最后，文章的高下，一眼就可以感觉出来。有的文章（像Xatrixer老师写的，和很多的原版教材）看上去就可以感到字里行间的呼吸，思维随着作者思维呼吸的节奏一起一浮的运动，非常享受。 有的文章，比如自己写的烂作 = =，就像是一坨Shit, 死气沉沉，没有生气，写完了自己碰都不想碰一下。这个时候，最关键的奥秘在于：“find the original passion in writing”写作为了什么？不揍是说光堂？ Show your opinion and let others agree with you.想像自己是个学生，45分钟的时间内没有哪个老师会期待得到一个“查拉图斯如是说”的答案。这个时候，就要表现出正确的思想。既，那些美国人期待的思想出来。自由，民主自然不必说，但是质疑权威，不盲目反对历史，批判的看待事物的两面性，会是永远正确的。在argument 里面，错误固然很多，但是总有一个是最为致命和关键的，抓住，然后展开，就像逛街是买东西的时候砍价，这样就可以写出来好的argument了.Now, forget about any pattern or any AW model! What you are doing is just show yourself! Time is limited though, we can still inject our passion in writing, give your aw the breath and, what is more important, let the reader breath with you. 咂做涅？Release your desire and encourage yourself! 一定要不可救药的相信自己是牛人，如果不是，那么这个签名档可能是和您“菜也要彪悍的活着”3 。
