TOPIC: ISSUE30 - "The primary goal of technological advancement should be to
increase people's efficiency so that everyone has more leisure time."
WORDS: 49          TIME: 00:02:20          DATE: 2010-7-31 23:15:12
position:支持
1)To begin with, few people will deny the benefit brought by technological
advancement(科技给我们带来好处）
2)科技剥夺我们leisure time
   Anyway, human's desire for further development is endless and our leisure
time were deprived by such desire as well as technology.
3)All in all, we human should give the clear goal of technology.

TOPIC: ISSUE26 - "Most people would agree that buildings represent a
valuable record of any society's past, but controversy arises when old
buildings stand on ground that modern planners feel could be better used for
modern purposes. In such situations, modern development should be given
precedence over the preservation of historic buildings so that contemporary
needs can be served."
WORDS: 13          TIME: 00:06:00          DATE: 2010-7-31 22:24:38
position: 小让步大反对(具体情况具体分析)
1)Admittedly, under some circumstances, the replacement of old building by
modern building could be beneficial.
       1.1On one hand: dangerous/no historical value/ cost too much for
perservation
       1.2 On the other hand, the advantage of modern building may offset or
even outweight the value of history building( subway; airport;viaduct)
2)However, when it comes to historic buidlings with great value, the
preservation of old building should be a top priority.
      2.1 cultural value 一旦毁坏(they are books written by history)
       By climbing the GreatWall---we can fell the tremendous power of Qin
Dynasty
       By visiting the Forbidden City,we can imagine how prosperous Ching
empire was.
      
      2.2 potential economic interest---tourist industry
      旅游业    Italy( Florence Rome) occupy nearly 10 percent of  GDP
      
3)With the increasing intensive trends of modernization, the conflict
between A/B will inevitably become more and more popular and we have to find
proper solutions
3.1  鉴定，共同商讨For one thing,government should invite experts to
evaluate the old buildings and hold public hearing's.
3.2 考虑现代技术搬迁

TOPIC: ISSUE160 - "The most essential quality of an effective leader is the
ability to remain consistently committed to particular principles and
objectives. Any leader who is quickly and easily influenced by shifts in
popular opinion will accomplish little."
WORDS: 30          TIME: 00:06:00          DATE: 2010-7-31 21:08:06
position:I PARTLY agree with the speaker's claim.不是most essential 而是one
of most essetial...）
1.effective leader定义  responsibility / flexibility / feedback/discernation
2.坚持己见的坏处
        Chairman Mao                         (计划经济）
3.平衡
       Deng XiaoPing （balance captilism / socialism)

TOPIC: ISSUE121 - "At various times in the geological past, many species
have become extinct as a result of natural, rather than human, processes.
Thus, there is no justification for society to make extraordinary efforts,
especially at a great cost in money and jobs, to save endangered species."
WORDS: 24          TIME: 00:06:00          DATE: 2010-7-31 21:29:41
POSITION: 小赞同大反对
1)营救费力不讨好
inevitable disaster (earthquake, flood) , to cost tons of money to save
endangered species usually turns out to be ineffective 种类多，灭绝速度
快,according to pitiless Darwinism. they do not deserve to be saved.
2)我们人类影响了环境 导致动物灭绝 我们应该负责

speaker ignore a very fact that human have been changing the nature
  pouring industry waste residues, urban refuse , (pollute their habitat)
  cutting down forest (compressing their living space)
how can you have the heart to see fish struggling in the oil?
3)我们人类影响了环境 也给人类自身带来危害
Minamata disease
4)保护环境（最经济有效的方法)


TOPIC: ISSUE112 - "Some educational systems emphasize the development of
students' capacity for reasoning and logical thinking, but students would
benefit more from an education that also taught them to explore their own
emotions."
WORDS: 128          TIME: 00:02:46          DATE: 2010-7-31 18:31:07
position: I strongly agree with the assertion because these two aspects are
indispensible in the process of forming a integral character.However,
whether an educational system should place more emphasis on either depends
on their ultimate education objectives.

1)To begin with, when it comes to sciences, few people would deny the merit
of reasoning and logical thinking since both of them is the foundation upon
which human knowledge advances. (Newton/ Einstein)
2)On the other hand, things move to the oppose direction when it comes to
arts.
3)Forging these two provisos, I fundamentally agree that students would
benefit more from an education place emphasis both on emotion and ration for
the very reason that students do not where their interests lie and often
have vague notions of their future career

TOPIC: ISSUE138 - "Only through mistakes can there be discovery or
progress."
WORDS: 58          TIME: 00:06:00          DATE: 2010-7-31 18:19:07

position: I fundamentally agree with this claim for two reasons. Firstly, it
accords with our personal experience. Secondly, it can be applied to all
areas of human endeavor, that is to say, mistake is the very foundation upon
which our society advances.
1) As the American businessman, H.J.Kaiser says ''Trouble is only
opportunity in work clothes'' 从错误中学到更多（自身例子:数学改错本，注重总
结错误，更多提高)
2)提供新角度去审视问题 然后 try a different approach
  计划经济>>邓小平>>>市场经济
planned economy(social justice, egalitarian), after a series of trials and
errors, market economy


TOPIC: ISSUE59 - "Too much emphasis is placed on role models. Instead of
copying others, people should learn to think and act independently and thus
make the choices that are best for them."
WORDS: 8          TIME: 00:06:00          DATE: 2010-7-31 17:51:39
position: To think and act independently is crucial, however, to learn from
role models make us avoid detour and we learn agreeable qualities and
effective solutions from them.
1) 独立思考是必要的 （创造力+成熟(independent)）
   1.1 art /creativity
   1.2 Newton/ Einstein
2）榜样是重要的
    2.1 教育 （Teachers are role models  :socialization/child/ moral models)
    2.2 科技，生产（ learn from paragons/improvement）

TOPIC: ISSUE203 - "The best way to understand the character of a society is
to examine the character of the men and women that the society chooses as
its heroes or its heroines."
WORDS: 31          TIME: 00:06:00          DATE: 2010-7-31 16:57:54

position: Even though by knowing the character of heroes chosen by one
society do help us understand some character of a society, it is generally
correct to some extent, but if we want to truly understand the character of
a society, it appears to be a limitied way.
1) To begin with, such celebrites as Leonard Da Vinci, Nelson mandela,
Landon Donovan come immediately to our mind. People admire their brave
behavior and great thoughts, and that's why people regard them as heroes.
2)If we want to truly understand the character of a society,the measure the
speaker claims present its limitations.
2.1 Despite of  those common characters accepted by society, a hero is also
made up of some unqie characters which are RARE in the society.
(Joan of Art/far beyond/light a torching and lead the people go ahead)
2.2 We can also see some VIRTUAL heroes appering in movies or cartoons sush
as superman, spiderman, ironman and so forth.
2.3 We call some persons hero not for his/her characters but for his/her
VIRTUOSITY.

TOPIC: ISSUE190 - "As long as people in a society are hungry or out of work
or lack the basic skills needed to survive, the use of public resources to
support the arts is inappropriate-and, perhaps, even cruel-when one
considers all the potential uses of such money."
WORDS: 54          TIME: 00:06:00          DATE: 2010-7-31 16:01:32
position: we should strike a balance between material and spirit life
1) Admittedly, under some circumstances, it is unnecessary, even curel, for
goverment use public resource to support arts rather than to alleviate
existing societal problems. (Maslows hierarchy of needs... Once individuals
have basic nutrition, shelter and safety, they attempt to accomplish more)
2) However, we should not deny the significant merit of arts even when
people in society undergo great hardship,straving,privation and so forth.
( The Song of Marseille... encourage people to focus on problems outside
themselves)
{Public money spent in arts is surely for a worthy case, not less worthy
than any charitable cause)
3)Moreover, arts cannot support themselves since most artists have not
regular salary and thus largely depend on subsidies from government, rich
partrons and public funds. And this trend become more intensive when more
and more people are dealing with problems of meeting their basic needs or
other physiological needs. (Vincent Van Gogh)

TOPIC: ISSUE218 - "In order for any work of art-whether film, literature,
sculpture, or a song-to have merit, it must be understandable to most
people."
WORDS: 47          TIME: 00:06:00          DATE: 2010-7-31 14:00:53
position: art work of merit does need to be understanded by most people, the
merit of art depends its purpose, style, aesthetics value and connotation.
1)Admittedly, the merit of some forms of art works rests on its ability to
convey its connotation and meaning. (Poster, comics)
2)However, many people appreciate some forms of arts greatly while ignoring
whether they can fully understand them. {Foreign songs, surealisim painting
---<The presistence of memory> Dali)
3)The huge gap in vision of aesthetics between common people and eminent
artists also creats the disparate understanding of an outstanding arts work(
Vincent Van Gogh
Had little success during his lifetime
Sunflower 向日葵
The Red Vineyard 红色的葡萄园
(the only painting he sold during his lifetime)

TOPIC: ISSUE13 - "Many of the world's lesser-known languages are being lost
as fewer and fewer people speak them. The governments of countries in which
these languages are spoken should act to prevent such languages from
becoming extinct."
WORDS: 16          TIME: 00:06:00          DATE: 2010-8-4 11:24:53
小让步大反对
1 to protect a languages is not only for its own sake,to some extent, it is
also to protect a country, a society, a culture all of which base on its own
language.
(保护语言还代表了保护基于语言的社会与文化）
   文化往往很有价值，因为语言不发达>>社会不发达>>受全球化影响小
2.social Darwinist. (The survival of fittest)
   2.1 （内）语言本身不好，而英语等其他语言促进交流
   2.2 （外）社会本身不发达，国民与外部交流多，内部交流少。要保护语言要发展
当地经济，很漫长
（单纯保护代价高，以前文化很发达，从今以后文化也不会发达）
3。保护文献和历史文化即可。新语言不代表老文化的灭绝

TOPIC: ISSUE25 - "Anyone can make things bigger and more complex. What
requires real effort and courage is to move in the opposite direction-in
other words, to make things as simple as possible."
WORDS: 5          TIME: 00:06:00          DATE: 2010-8-4 10:53:57
1。Admittedly，。现代世界越来越复杂。
     信息复杂：海量信息
   学科复杂：学科交叉+深化：越来越少人掌握多门学科，像以前的科学家那样(Da
Vinci, Thomas Jefferson versatile)
     产品复杂：一个人难以完成
2。化繁容易 化简难
     
信息+学科 抓住keyword，essence
   向wikipedia添加信息 google搜索,掌握普遍规律得到formula,discipline
3虽然简化难，但是很有价值
assembly line(流水线） / international labor division

TOPIC: ISSUE16 - "Although many people think that the luxuries and
conveniences of contemporary life are entirely harmless, in fact, they
actually prevent people from developing into truly strong and independent
individuals."
WORDS: 28          TIME: 00:06:00          DATE: 2010-8-4 10:31:49
双刃剑，需要政府指导
1.1 luxuries and conveniences of comtemporary life serve as a main
motivation for people( 动力，追寻的过程促进社会进步（巴西球员 born in
poverty 更容易成功））
2.（往往追寻到以后就沉溺其中。。退步）（巴西球员）
3。people ususally pay too much attention to celebrities的奢华生活，而没有关
注过程。拜金主义颠覆社会价值观。金钱衡量一切，大款当偶像。别墅名车当衡量一个
人 。道德沦丧
materialism     It can not be measured in terms of money.  
                         这是不能用金钱衡量的。  
4。政府作出平衡

TOPIC: ISSUE94 - "Universities should require every student to take a
variety of courses outside the student's field of study because acquiring
knowledge of various academic disciplines is the best way to become truly
educated."
WORDS: 20          TIME: 00:06:00          DATE: 2010-8-4 10:19:41
小同意 大反对
1 admittedly, 增加对其他学科的了解是有好处的
   1.1 大学生职业不对口 （broaden their views)
   1.2 收到其他学科的启发，感性理性的结合培养，完整humanity
          （有知识写不出报告，interpersonal skills)
2 variety of course/ revelevant to their majors
   2.1 不相干的 选修课没有益处（arts v.s mathematics)
   2.2 过多的 减少了花在本专业的时间
3.学校应该作出平衡

TOPIC: ISSUE63 - "To truly understand your own culture-no matter how you
define it-requires personal knowledge of at least one other culture, one
that is distinctly different from your own."
WORDS: 45          TIME: 00:06:00          DATE: 2010-8-4 10:05:23
position: to understand other culture will facilitate one's understanding of
his/her own culture. However, the term "distincly" appears to be unnecessary
during this progress.
1. the definition of truly understanding own culture+comparative approach
  1.1  definition of culture+ no bias, critical thinking
  1.2  comparative approach
2. 邓小平
3..不必dinstincly
