In China, it stands for the nationwide one-week holiday starting from October lstfthe National Day). The government established the week-long holiday back in 1999 tostimulate domestic spending. Tour operators, retailers, and wedding halls have been cashingin ever since.However, there are shifting perspectives about holiday economy. Many people, includingsome economists, think positively about holiday economy. They believe that tourism-dholiday economy has increased consumption and helped to spur the domestic demands. Whileothers, who worry about the negative effect of holiday economy, argue that holiday economydo more harm than good. For example, during the extended holiday, scenic spots areoverloaded with tourists, and it not only spoils the relaxing mood of the tourists, but alsooverburdens the tourist attractions.n my opinion, both sides are reasonable. We should take good advantages of the holidaytodevelop economy while trying to tackle the problems existed with practical measures. Onlyinthis way can we not only enjoy the pleasure golden week endows us, but also promotethedevelopment of holiday economy soundly.【预测题目】创新能力1.现今社会越来越注重创新能力2.创新能力不等同于创造能力3.为了创造能力我们应该……Enhance Our Creative AbilityAmong various aspects of the quality educationimplemented in China, building the innovative capability of students is highly emphasized.

Every graduate faces this question when he starts his career. A large number of college graduates prefer to stay in the big cities. To them, big cities mean more experiences, more opportunities to see the big world and more space for career development. At the same time, higher salary is another temptation.But some other graduates want to start in small towns. Even though there may not be many big companies, they can have a quieter and less competitive life. Another reason is that they can be a big fish in a small pond. They can easily get the management' s attention and may win promotion earlier.As far as I am concerned, I prefer to start in a metropolis like Shanghai. A good begin is half the battle, and in Shanghai I can find a job in a big company where I can meet people from different places and cultures. I will learn from them what I can not get from textbooks.【预测题目】道德滑坡1.现在社会道德滑坡现象严重，比如……2.我认为应该如何改变这一现状【参考范文】Decline in MoralsIn modern society, the decline in morals isbecoming more and more severe.
