Answer 1

Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.

Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease. This often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20. Nobody grows old merely by a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals.

Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust.

Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being’s heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing appetite for what’s next and the joy of the game of living. In the center of your heart and my heart, there is a wireless station; so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, courage and power from man and from the infinite, so long as you are young.

When your aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you’ve grown old, even at 20; but as long as your aerials are up, to catch waves of optimism, there’s hope you may die young at 80.

1.With the sharp rise of the cost of college education, students have a few ways to pay for their college tuition and fees. Many students just let their parents pay the tuition. Some students may apply for a bank loan and others will try to find part-time jobs both on the campus and out of campus. Apart from this, many good students will win a scholarship. In this way they can pay at least part of their tuition.　　As to me, I will let my parents pay half of my tuition because they are not rich enough. Besides my studies, I will take up a part-time job as a tutor teaching some high school students maths, physics and English, as I’m very good at the subjects. Of course I will work very hard at my lessons so that I can win a scholarship. I think that’s enough to pay for my college education.　　2.With reforms carried out in other fields, higher education in China is also undergoing great changes. One of them is the newly-adopted tuition policy. According to this new policy, college students are supposed to pay an average sum of 4,000 yuan each year as tuition. In addition, students must pay other fees, such as accommodation and healthcare.　　Students can finance their college education in various ways. First of all, they depend on their parents, as is the most common case in China. Secondly, they do part time jobs to earn the money. Then for some excellent students, they study hard so as to obtain scholarships. Finally, those especially poor students, having no other means to finance their college education, may turn to the loan programs for financial aid.　　With one of my parents laid off, my family can’t possibly afford all my expenses at college. However, my family is not as hard up as those from the poverty-stricken areas. Consequently, I’m not eligible to seek help from the loan programs, and I don’t want to. Instead, I practise self-reliance by offering instruction as a tutor. In this way I find myself not only better off financially, but also, by getting out of the ivory tower, making great progress academically. As a result, I have won first-class scholarships for two years on end. Fortunately, I have come by the best way to finance, as well as to benefit from, my college education.　　3.How I Finance My College Education　　With the ever-increasing number of students in college in China, universities can no longer be financed exclusively by the government. And now, all tile college students must pay for their tuition.　　There are various ways for a student to finance his college education. If the student is excellent in his studies, he can apply for scholarship. Most universities set up scholarship to offer money to poor students who do well in entrance exams and reward those who have outstanding performance in college either academically or in student associations. A student can also choose to turn to a bank for low-interest Loans to pay his way through university, which he can repay after graduation. In addition to the above-mentioned ways, taking part-time jobs is also a common way for a college student to get money to pay part of his tuition and fees.　　So far as I'm concerned, I'd prefer earning the scholarship. After all, the task of a student is to study. And in addition, 1'11 work part-time to help support myself. In this way, I can be wholly self-reliant and independent.

Answer 3

Man’s dearest possession is life. It is given to him but once, and he must live it so as to feel no torturing regrets for wasted years, never know the burning shame of a mean and petty past; so live that, dying, he might say: all my life, all my strength were given to the finest cause in all the world—the fight for the Liberation of Mankind.

人生最宝贵的是生命。生命对于人来说只有一次。一个人的生命应该这样度过：当他回首往事时，不因虚度年华而悔恨；也不会因为碌碌无为而羞耻。在临死的时候他能够说：我的整个生命和全部精力都已经献给了世界上最壮丽的事业――为人类的解放事业而斗争！
