新标准大学英语第二册综合教程练习答案

in China today?

This is hard to say because there are so many students in China --- more than in the US --- and we shouldn’t expect them to be all the same. Some of them are “sleepy and cool”, others are excited about what they study (like the American students in Passage 2); many see study as a means to an end (like the Americans in Passage 1). In general, many Chinese students are quieter, less critical, and more hardworking than American students and they want to get good jobs and help their family and their country --- but these aren’t criticism, are they?

3. The writer says there are no inspirational characters for students today. Do you agree?

Not at all. We can find inspiration wherever we look! My teachers are really inspiring, so are Olympic gold medalists, Nobel Prize winners and some figures in history or fiction.

4. Would you like to have been a student in the 1960s? Why/ Why not?

1) Yes, it sounds exciting and free, but perhaps I wouldn’t study much in such an atmosphere.

2) Probably not, it sounds confusing and the people who are nostalgic for that time probably forget the difficulties they had. I expect they see the past with rosy spectacles.
