01、He considers that the bombing was wrong, and something terrible. He thinks the bombing was unjustified. 02、Perhaps he thinks that it was wrong to kill so many innocent civilians and destroy entire cities to end the war. He might think that there were better ways to end the war, such as diplomacy or conventional warfare. 03、I think his questions will focus on the morality of the bombing perhaps he will ask whether the mayor thinks it was right or wrong. He will probably also ask about the effects that the bombing has had on Hiroshima. 04、If the mayor is commemorating the passing of 60 years since the bombing, he will probably talk about the effects of the atomic bomb, and how the city has recovered. Being a politician, I imagine he will present a positive attitude and celebrate the city.

01、Mainly to keep a personal record of events, with comments and thoughts, but also to express oneself and reflect on people and events, ie the writing helps you to think. 02、About events they see or take part in, about the people around them, and their comments, feelings and thoughts on these. 03、The writers themselves might read a diary to recall events or write something else about them. General readers are probably either interested in the events and people described or in the personality and writing style of the writer. Often the way a diary is written tells a reader more about the writer than about the events described

01、诺贝尔和平奖是瑞典实业家、发明家、军火制造商阿尔弗雷德诺贝尔设立的五个诺贝尔奖项之一，其他奖项包括诺贝尔化学奖、物理学奖、生理学或医学奖和文学奖。自1901年以来，诺贝尔和平奖每年（特例除外）都颁发给那些为促进民族团结友好、 取消或裁减常备军队以及为和平会议的组织和宣传尽到最大努力或作出最大贡献的人。诺贝尔和平奖既颁发给像马丁路德金这样的个人，也颁发给像国际红十字委员会这样的机构。每年12月10日（即诺贝尔的忌日），挪威诺贝尔奖委员会的主席在挪威国王的见证下颁发诺贝尔和平奖。

Translation-2

01、"Harmony" is one of the most cherished values in Chinese culture. Confucianism advocates the idea that "Harmony is most precious", believing that with their ethical attainments people can handle affairs properly and create harmonious social relationships. Buddhism, Taoism and Mohism, as well as Confucianism, all advocate a harmonious relationship between people and between ethnic groups. Chinese people have always given priority to a harmonious relation in dealing with people in everyday life, as they know that a harmonious human relationship and society is of vital importance to human survival and development. Today when we're constructing a harmonious society, the idea of harmony has become even more important.

Exercises-1

01、It's on 11 November. 02、It is called Veterans Day in the United States and Armistice Day in France. 03、It begins at 11 o'clock. 04、The war dead; those who have fallen in recent wars are also remembered on the day. 05、The Great War is sometimes used. 06、More than half a million Canadians fought in Europe during the war. 07、65,000 of them lost their lives. 08、It is a symbol of the Great War.

Exercises-2

01、Yes. The most influential and memorable is the War of Resistance against Japan, which broke out in 1937 and ended in 1945. The Chinese people, led by the Chinese Communist Party, fought for eight years and finally won the war. In fact, the War of Resistance against Japan is part of the Second World War. China contributed to the end of the war by defeating the Japanese invaders. 02、There are local monuments in many cities, and every year there are local commemorative events. People remember those who have fallen in war as part of the Qingming Festival and during V-Day (Victory Day of the War of Resistance against Japan) commemorations. 03、Examples of poetry: The Ballad of Mulan(《木兰辞》) is the story of Hua Mulan, who took the place of her father and went into battle and fought for many years; the emperor rewarded her as a soldier, and then she went back home to wear women's clothes once more. Du Fu wrote a number of poems about war, such asBallad of the Army Carts( 《兵车行》) andThe Shihao Officers(《石壕吏》). His lines show how war affected people's lives. Ai Qing wrote a number of war poems, includingSnow Falls on Chinas Land(《雪落在中国的土地上》) andHe Dies a Second Time(《他死在第二次》). Examples of novels: Outlaws of the Marsh, also calledWater Margin(《水浒传》), by Shi Nai'an, tells how 108 outlaws in the reign of emperor Hui Zong of the Song Dynasty fought brave and resourceful battles against tyrants. Romance of the Three Kingdoms(《三国演义》) by Luo Guanzhong, is a historical novel. It gives a lot of time and space to action on the battlefield, eg the battle of Red Cliff, and has been made into a TV series. (Tips: The above works are widely translated and more or less known in the West, but there is one Chinese work about war which is better known than any of these: Sun Tzu'sThe Art of War[《孙子兵法》], which is widely quoted and read by those interested in strategies of leadership, management, business and the study of power.) 04、Yes. I have read some first-hand accounts of war. They are mostly by generals who recall the wars they served in, like the War of Resistance against Japan and the Liberation of China. No, I haven't read any first-hand accounts of war by Chinese writers. However, I do know some foreign writers who wrote accounts of war in China. The most widely known isRed Star Over China(《红星照耀中国》) by Edgar Snow. The book is a classic Western account of the American writer's interviews and experiences with Chinese Communist leaders and the early days of the People's Army in wartime. Another foreign writer who wrote about war in China is Israel Epstein, who described his experiences of China's ups and downs during his many years here, including visits to the front line in the war years. The two writers both knew China well, and both wrote a number of books in English about China. I suppose they would show us what foreignborn writers think English readers should know. 7-5 Guided writing

01、Remembering our friends who died in the earthquake, Sichuan 2008 It is morning, not too early, but there is still a chill in the Sichuan mountain air. There is some light rain, not too much, just enough to mix with the tears running down our cheeks. All of us are here on the sports field with our teachers and other school staff and many parents so many ... We stand straight, our saddened eyes gazing forward. Everyone is here. Everyone, that is, except those of us who were buried the day the earth moved. Their empty places are marked by bunches of white flowers. Our class monitor begins to speak. Her voice is clear as she utters the words we don't want to hear. We were there; we know what it was like. We want to bury those words, unheard. But we must hear, to face our fear, and calm our souls. Inside, we are shaking. Her voice trembles. Our wet eyelashes tremble. A slight puff of wind takes a white petal from a fallen flower; it rises and floats to the class monitor. She continues to speak and stretches out her hand. We see the white petal settle in her palm as she calls the names of the dead. As she finishes, the petal drops gently to the ground. The memory of our fallen friends remains. It will stay forever in our hearts.

Exercises-5

01、Although they left in advance, they were still caught in the rain. Gusts of cold wind sent shivers to their whole bodies. 02、We went to the hospital to visit people injured in the earthquake and see what we could do for them.

When we entered the ward, the sight of those weak and helpless wounded people made us realize that we had a lot to do. 03、The police stormed into the place and tried to arrest all those who were involved in the cricket-fighting gambling.

When they are free, the family will take a walk in the park or do exercise together.

Exercises-6

01、联合国维和部队是被派到武装冲突地区维护和重建和平的队伍。维和这个概念是在1956年埃及苏伊士运河危机中诞生的，当时在一次联合国的会议上，加拿大外交官莱斯特・皮尔森提出了建立一支以佩戴蓝盔为标志的维和部队。联合国领导的维和部队是在自愿的基础上由各成员国委派的人员组成的。维和行动队分两种：非武装的观察团和携带轻武器的军队。观察团负责为联合国收集情报，报告一个地区的实际安全状况。军队则接受委托执行扩展任务，如让冲突双方保持距离，维持地方的秩序。多年来，联合国维和部队在降低冲突级别和创造有利于持久和平的条件等方面发挥了重要作用。1988年，联合国维和部队被授予诺贝尔和平奖。

Exercises-7

01、China's top legislature has ratified two new national memorial days, 3 September to mark victory in the war against Japanese aggression and 13 December to commemorate victims of the Nanjing massacre. The Nanjing massacre was one of the three major massacres during the Second World War. It was an atrocious crime against humanity and a dark page in human history. The establishment of the memorial days is not intended to arouse hatred but to let people keep firmly in mind the harm caused to the Chinese people. It also conveys China's stance against aggression, to safeguard human dignity and preserve world peace.
