Task 2
In recent ten years, there has been a popular debate about whether animals experimentation ought to be abandoned orthe experimentation is essential for scientific development. I will attempt to present both side of this argument in order to establish my position on this issue of animals’ right to life and the necessity of animals experimentation.
People who are against the use of animals forexperimentation purposes consider animals have the equal rights to survive ashuman being. They emphasize that animals do have feeling of fears, pains, and emotions. As far as they are concerned, it is cruel to inject bacteria into a rabbit’s wound for observation on infection.
Though the trend of abolishment to animals experimentation has become more accepted by ordinary people, there are still several people insist that some certain research and development of science cannot be run without the sacrifice of animals’ lives. It is their belief that human’s lives are much more precious than animals’ and to benefit human being it is not immoral or wicked at all to take any measures.
Both of the two points above are reasonable, and, have not taken all things into consideration. No matter what position one stands,it is hardly for him or her to deny that every single animal, either for experimental use or for food use, even vermin, has the equal rights to life in the natural environment. If so, a question may arise: Isn’t killing cattle toeat or killing locust as cruel as to experiment on frogs?
My answer to this question is: “Whether it is cruel ornot, it depends on the condition.” Mice in field and mice in laboratory have totally opposite function to human. From my view, to experimentation on animals is necessary. Scientific development not only benefit on human, but also on animals. What we shall do is to avoid and forbid abusing or mistreating animals.
Task 1
The two graphs illustrate the issue of men and women’swork time and their preference on full-time and part-time job.
As can be seen from the pie chart, men show a strongpenchant for full-time job. Only one twelfth of men would choose part-time job.Female, however, selects in a more average way. The proportion of women whochoose full-time job is only 4% more than the ones who prefer part-time job.
Because of the genders’ different inclinations ofpart-time and full-time job, the total weekly work time of men and women’s varydiversely. The line chart is based on a survey among 147 men and 147 women.There are more women than men in the groups of “under 5 hours”, “5 to 15 hours”and “15 to 25 hours”. Respectively, 7, 31 and 37 women select these threegroups, comparing with men’s number: 5, 27 and 32. 45 men work 25 to 35 hoursper week while there are 41 women in this group. 31 women work 35 to 45 hoursweekly, 5 persons less than men do.

Task 2:
Earlier technological development brought to morebenefits and changed thelife of ordinary people than the recent technologicaldevelopment ever will. Towhat extent, do you Agree or Disagree?
(06.7.29考试题目)
Some people believe that the changes of our life contributed by earliertechnology are forceful more than the recent technology does. However, I thinkthat it is very hard to measure to what extent the earlier technology hasinfluenced on our life and does modern technology really brings less profit.
Though many modern technological developments are mainly based on earliertechnology, we could not simply say that earlier technology plays a moreimportant role in changing people’s life. To prove this thought clearly,examples go as below.
The invention of the electric light was a milestone inthe history of man,indicating that man had a farewell to the endless darkness.Yet, it was themodern technology, which made the cost of electric powergeneration anddistribution, also the spending on the light bulbs producing, decreased to areasonable level. As a result, electric light became popular in most familiesand the whole world entered a new era of electric.
Similarly, though people consider that Bell’s telephone has switched on therevolution of communication, only the recent internet technology has thoroughlyshifted people’s concept of communication.— The global internet impacts theworld, as if it evolves the big world into a small village where theinhabitants may acquaintance each other easily.
In conclusion, to rashly figure that earlier technology benefits our life moredoes not take all things into consideration. I believe that the power that pushesour world to develop is the integrated effect attributed to both earlier andrecent technology.
