This festival is to com memorate the death of QU Yuan, an upright and honest poet and states man who is said to have committed suicide by drowning himself in a riv er.The most important activity of this festival is the Dragon Boat races. It symbolizes people's attempts to rescue Qu Yuan. In the current period, t hese races also demonstrate the virtues of cooperation and teamwork. Besides, the festival has also been marked by eating zong zi (glutinous rice). Zong zi is made of glutinous rice stuffed with different fillings and wrapped in bamboo or reed leaves. People who mourned the death of Qu threw Zong zi into the river to feed his ghost every year.With the changes of the times, the memorial turns to be a time for pro tection from evil and disease for the rest of year. People will hang health y herbs on the front door to clear the bad luck of the house.

As th e number of the cars is rising, we are facing some problems. One big pr oblem is the pollution caused by the use of cars. In order to solve this problem, government agencies in some big cities recently suggest that a “pollution tax” should be put on private cars in order to control the n umber of cars and reduce pollution in the city. For my part, I agree to thi s viewpoint, and my reasons are as follows:To begin with, cars contribute to the environmental pollution. For exa mple, a lot of big cities in China are now plagued by serious air pollutio n. Then it is the responsibility of these private car owners to pay for the pollution and they should be taxed. The purpose of collecting environm ental pollution tax is to raise the fund, and then utilize the tax revenue l ever to protect our environment.Secondly, it is a good way to raise people’s environmental awareness by putting a pollution tax on private cars. If people suffer from the financial loss when making a decision, they will t hink more about their decision. Then they will consider more when deci ding to buy a private car. Consequently, the increase rate of the number of the private cars can be controlled.In a word, it is a very good and necessary attempt to use the means of taxation to treat the pollution. Of course, it must be kept in mind that all people, including the private car owners, should try their best to pro tect the environment第 4 页共 4 页2010年专四作文真题: Should College Students Hire Cleaners?

Although we have no right to tell them what to do with their money, as a university student myself, I find this practice absurd. For a start, away from our parents, it is in university that we learn to be independent adults. Cleaning theroom and doing one’s laundry are the most basic living skills. If we always depend on others to take care of us, how can we survive when there is no one to help us? How can we take on any responsibility when we step into society? For another, the practice reflects their flippant attitude towards money. The money they paid for the cleaners probably comes from their parents, who must be very depressed once they know the truth. It also sets a very bad precedent on campus. Other students may follow suit to show the wealth of their families; or worse, they tend to think money can buy them anything in this world, which obviously iswrong.,All in all, I think we must do away with this practice. Otherwise, we may never appreciate the good value of money and an independent way of li fe. The better and sooner we can take care of ourselves, the more proud our parents will be.2009年专四作文真题：Will Tourism Bring Harm to the Environment?（旅游对环境的影响？）——关于环境Direction：December 5th is International Volunteers Day.

Many people believe that tourism produce positive effects on economic growth and we should try our best to promote tourism. But what these people fail to see is that tourism may bring about a disastrous impact on our environment. As for me, I'm firmly convinced that too much tourists bring harm to the environment. The bad impact of tourism on the environment has mainly expressed itself in various ways. One way is the process of exploiting a new scenic spot. In order to attract tourists, a lot of artificial facilities have been built, which have certain unfavorable effects on theenvironment. This process usually breaksthe ecological balance of the area. In some mountainous places, t rees are being cut down to build hotels for others to see and explore th e beauty of the mountains. Then land slides and mud-rock flows come u p. Another way the development of tourism has damaged the environm ent occurs when tourists go to scenic spots. Some tourists don't have th e awareness to protect the environment, and ignorantly throw their gar bage here and there. Some people even kill the local wildlife to eat, whi ch badly damages the balance of the natural environment.It is wrong to sacrifice the environment for the growth of tourism. We must keep in mind that too much tourists bring harm to the environme nt. We need to find a balance between satisfying the needs of tourists a nd reducing to a minimum the pollution they cause.2008年专四作文真题：The Benefits of Volunteering （参加志愿活动的好处）——关于大学生和社会Direction：December 5th is International Volunteers Day.

It is reported now China has 4.5 million registered volunteers having provided more than 4.5 billion hours of volunteer work. Why would so many people like to do volunteer work? Are there any benefits of volunteering? The answer is absolutely yes. First of all, through volunteering we can gain more experiences. Whatever volunteering work we do, either being a volunteer teacher for a village school or a volunteer worker in a retired house, we can taste different lifestyles and broaden our horizon. Secondly, through volunteering we can acquire the sense of being needed. Many people feelfrustratedwith travails in life and empty with the cycling of working and resting. They gradually become numb, losing the sense of being needed. By joining the volunteer group and offering help voluntarily to people who need it, we may feel happy and fulfilled again. Thirdly, through volunteering we can learn more good qualities. Volunteer work is team work,which needs good cooperation. We can know people with different pers onalities and different background joining in the volunteer group and d evoting to the volunteer work together. From our co - volunteers we can absorb many good qualities that could help us be better persons.In conclusion, volunteering is of great benefit in that we can gain more experiences, acquire the sense of being needed and learn more good q ualities.第 7 页共 7 页2007年专四作文真题：Is It Wise to Make Friends Online? （交网友）——关于流行文化：网络Direction：Nowadays the Internet has become part of people’s life, and millions of young people have made friends online.Write a composition of about 200 words on the following topic: Is It Wise to Make Friends Online?You are to write in three parts: In the first part, state clearly what your view is.In the second part, support your view with appropriate reasons.

Some people think th at it is unwise to make friends online while others think that there is not hing wrong with online friends. In my point of view, although online fri ends cannot be always trusted, the benefits far outweigh the risks. The r easons are mainly as follows:First of all, it is easy and quick to get to know people and make new f riends online. We know friends are indispensable in our daily life but th ey cannot stay with us wherever we go. For many people, especially coll ege freshmen, leaving friends and the security of home for a new place where they don’t know anyone can be overwhelming. With some online chatting tools such as QQ and MSN, they can talk to people they like and find people w ith common interests easily. In addition, online friends can help broaden our knowledge about different cultures and customs.

As is seen to me, the principle of “hard work and thrift” is st ill at work in China, and I absolutely believe that we will profit more fro m saving money than from spending tomorrow’s money.Through saving money, we’ll be better prepared for our life. There is an old saying that “a penny s aved is a penny earned”. In modern society, life is so changeable that we can’t predict what will happen in the future. So we’d better get prepared for unexpected emergencies. What’s more, psychologically speaking, saving money means controlling mon ey rather than being controlled by money, and it enables us to be freer and more independent. With the money we’ve saved, we don’t need to be too much concerned about the old age or the monthly inst allment that we owe to the bank.Of course I don’t mean that we cannot loan money to buy a house or for some enjoyme nt. WhatI’m saying is that we must think twice before spending tomorrow’s money. To put it in a nutshell, I’m a great believer that saving money is a good habit.2005年专四作文真题：My Idea of a University Arts Festival （我对艺术节的看法）——关于校园文化Direction：The students’ Union of your university is planning to hold an arts f estival next semester, and they are inviting students to contribute their i deas and suggestions as to how it should be organized or what should be included.Write a composition of about 200 words on the following topic: My Id ea of a University Arts Festival You are to write in three parts: In the first part, state clearly what your view is.In the second part, support your view with appropriate reasons.

Therefore, t o make the incoming arts festival more fruitful, I personally think it shou ld include two parts: one is to organize some art activities among stude nts such as singing, painting, photography, recitation or short play cont ests, and the other is to invite all kinds of art troupes to campus to stag e excellent performances of ballet, orchestra or drama for our students.As regards why university arts festival should be organized in this way, there are mainly tworeasons: to develop students’ artistic potential and to enhance their aesthetic ability. By participating in art contests, students not only have a golden opportunity to show their special gift for art but also undergo sort of training through preparation, rehearsal and competition. Thus th ose activities encourage students to get involved in art activities, which i s not readily accessible to them in normal times. Such an intimate conta ct with real art enables students to understand art better and appreciate it properly, which will refine their artistic taste in the long run. Since my idea of arts festival integrates training students’ artistic ability with im proving theiraesthetic taste, I believe it will go a long way in art education, which is also the ultimate aim of university arts festival第 10 页共 10 页2004年专四作文真题：Will Phones Kill Letter Writing? （电话和写信）——关于社会文化Direction：Nowadays young people tend to phone more often than write to each other.

Although more and more people nowadays tend to phone more than write letters, I still don’t believe phones will kill letter writing in people’s daily communication.People communicate for different purposes and in different ways. Lett ers, though traditional in away, help people express their ideas in a more exact way，without the careless tongue slips of telephone conversations. More imp ortantly, it is long held that “To see is to believe.” and communication in written form is considered to be more formal than that done orally. T herefore, letters are always the preferred way of communication when it comes to formal occasions like job application, nailing down a contract or traveling information confirmation. It is not entirely groundless to say that letters are still indispensable nowadays.In a word, letters have their unique features to satisfy certain communi cation purposes and willtherefore never be replaced by phones in people’s daily life. It’s perhaps more appropriate to say that they supplement each other inst ead of replacing each other.第 11 页共 11 页2003年专四作文真题：The Importance of Keeping a Good Mood（保持好心情的重要性）——关于身心健康 Direction：People in modern society live under a lot of pressure, from education, career, or family.

But more and more people are living under greater pressure than ever before. As a consequence, people are increasingly suffering from various distortions both physically andmentally. To help out, it is important that everyone keep a good mood today. There are several reasons for my argument. First, a good mood can create high efficiency. When you work with a good mood, you will feel happy and be willing to do some work which used to be boring. On the contrary, a bad mood can make you passive and do things with reluctance. Second, a good mood is beneficial to your health. If you fail to keep a good mood, you will be feeling depressed and fed up, which is apt to cause some psychological diseases. Third, when you have a good mood, other people around you will be influenced. Thus more and more people will feel happy to communicate with you. To sum up, keeping a good mood is very important both for yourself and for the people around you. If you want to have a happy and successful life, please keep a good mood every day.第 12 页共 12 页2002年专四作文真题：The Best Way to Stay Healthy （如何保持健康）——关于健康Direction：Nowadays people are becoming increasingly aware of the importance of health.

Wherever you are a nd whatever you do,staying healthy is always important. Different people come up with dif ferent views. As far as I am concerned, the best way to keep healthy is t o develop a good quality of psychology.To begin with, keeping a good quality of psychology can reduce the p ains. According to somesurveys, nowadays, most patients are not physically sick but mentally il l. The burden on their shoulders is much heavier than others. So they can’t step out of the shadow of depression and sadness. They need to releas e their spirit to the nature. Besides, if you have developed a good qualit y of psychology, you’ll become more sociable and thus more willing to play your part in the s ociety. Enrolling for some keep-fit clubs or joining some travel agency, which by themselves are various versions of physical exercise, will benefi t you a lot. As a poem says, youth is not a period of time; it’s a state of mind. Everybody wants to keep young at heart because yout h is a symbol for endless energy and passion for living.Keeping a good quality of mind and keeping a sense of humor are real ly good.
