综合写作

导致罗马帝国衰落

阅读

1. 有庞大的军队，尽管罗马不大，但是他们把征服过的地方的人民加入自己的军队里，承诺给他们土地。

2. 通过大众对其无条件的服从而让罗马强盛。

3. 在经济方面，通过农民拿征收的税来壮大罗马帝国

听力

1. 正中军队的士兵构成复杂，不会打仗而且不忠心。

2. 整个集权会导致错误没人纠正，他只会做对自己有利的事。忽略其他的人民，比如前几个帝王只顾修筑宫殿。

3. 国家只有不断扩张土地才能长盛不衰，课税使没有土地的农民难以负担，产生抵触情绪，最后加入反罗马军队。

独立写作

Do you agree or disagree your job has a greater effect on your overall happiness than your social activity does.

Agree

1. We work on a daily basis, thus our moods are strongly influenced by what we have done or experienced.

2. Performance in work can determine the living standard and promotion standard.

3. Working can be seen as competition. If we succeed in accomplishing a huge project with devotion and diligence, we will feel a sense of achievement which bring greater joy. On the contrary, if we encounter difficulties which are hard to overcome in work , the sense of burden cannot be easily lifted from our shoulders despite various and diverting social activities.

4. Co-workers play a decisive role in a working condition. Smooth cooperation and coordination can always motivate people to contribute more to the group. Strained relationship with workmates or managers is often seen as a mood killer.
