Recently, our class had a heated discussion on it. Some students say that a single person can have little effect on such a big problem. It is the government’s duty to punish those dishonourable businessmen. However, some people don’t agree with the idea. They think everyone can make a difference. We do not have to put up with the fake goods. As for me, I think it is our responsibility to say no to such unhealthy food and keep away from them. Without profit, there is no market. Such kind of problem will be solved if we are responsible for what we have done. What’s more, prompt and strict measures should be taken by the government to turn back this evil trend. I am firmly convinced that through our combined efforts we are bound to enjoy safer food in the days ahead. 话题三　人物与职业 高频单词·Group 1· 1. achieve　　 vt. 达到, 取得 achievement n. 成就, 成绩, 功绩 2. admire vt. 钦佩;欣赏 3. ambitious adj. 有雄心壮志的 4. appearance n. 外貌 5. background n. 背景 6. birthplace n. 出生地;故乡 7. character n.

However, children nowadays depend much on them, which does great harm to their growth. In my opinion, the major task for children is to learn various knowledge. Therefore, they should fix more attention on it and be less dependent on electronics. Besides, they should spare more time to take exercise. If so, they can have a healthy body, which in turn contributes to their studies. The last but not least, children should learn to communicate with others. They can have a heart-to-heart conversation with their parents and teachers if they have some problems hard to solve. As they have more experience in life, they can give children plenty of instructions. 话题九　文化习俗 高频单词 ·Group 1· 1. adventure 　 n. 冒险, 奇遇 2. ancestor n. 祖先 3. ancient adj. 古代的 4. anniversary n. 周年纪念日 5. awkward adj. 令人尴尬的, 使人难堪的 6. belief n. 信条, 信念 believe v. 相信, 认为 7. bless v. 保佑;祈福 8. casual adj. 漫不经心的, 不经意的, 非正式的 9. cause n. 原因, 起因 vt. 促使, 引起, 使发生 10. caution n. 谨慎, 小心, 警告 cautious adj. 小心的, 谨慎的 ·Group 2· 1. ceremony n. 典礼, 仪式, 礼节 2. chief adj. 主要的 3. civilized adj. 文明的 4. concern v. &n. 涉及, 关心 5. cooperation n. 合作 6. cultural adj. 文化的 7. custom n. 习惯, 习俗, 风俗 8. decorate vt. 装饰, 装潢, 修饰 9. expand v. 扩展 10. familiar adj. 熟悉的 ·Group 3· 1. fascinating adj. 魅力无穷的 2. imagination n. 想象(力) 3. immigrant n. 移民 4. inform vt. 告诉; 通知 information n. 信息 5. marriage n. 结婚, 婚姻 married adj. 已婚的 marry v.
