　　Giving Children Cell Phones

　　More and more children are showing up at school each September with cell phones. Many parents buy their children a cell phone because it is a nice safety measure. It gives those working parents a little sense of control and security to know when their children are off campus and on their way home.

　　But having a cell phone might be a problem. Parents may find themselves facing a frightening bill at the end of the month. The reason: chatting on the phone and sending text messages can soon become the favorite pastime of preteens and teenagers. Worse still, cell phones in schools can lead to classroom distractions¹, text-message cheating and inappropriate photographs.

　　Knowing their children can always be reached is reassuring² for parents. But before buying their child a cell phone, I think parents should decide if the child is really capable of managing his or her own phone. Besides, parental³ control must be exercised in the use of the phone. For example, they should set limits on how long the child is allowed to stay on the phone.

　　Equality of Education Opportunity

　　In recent years the problems which are caused by the inequality of education opportunity have attracted the public's attention. For instance, the backward teaching facilities and dilapidated school buildings in rural areas are in sharp contrast to those advanced facilities and well-equipped classrooms in urban areas, students from poor families cannot go to universities because of the high tuition.

　　There are several factors which contribute lo these problems. First, the distribution of resources is unbalanced between rural and urban schools. Second, educational loans for poor students are far from enough. Third, the inequality in some schools' admission policies also turns many students away. The education inequality can result in many bad impacts. On one hand, it can affect people’s future employment. On the other hand，it is the root of many social problems.

　　To change this situation, I think, we should take the following measures. Firstly, the government's spending on education should be increased and the allocation of public resources gives priority to rural and weak urban schools. Secondly⁴, the implementation⁵ of the government financial aid system for students should be accelerated. Thirdly, the government should speed up education reforms to ensure everyone has equal access to schools.

　　My Views on Examination

　　Nowadays the examination is used as a chief means of deciding whether a student succeeds or fails in mastering a particular subject in most colleges and universities. Although it is efficient, its side effects are also enormous.

　　On the one hand, examinations lower the standards of teaching. Since teachers are often judged by examination results, they are reduced to training their students in exam techniques.

A　the　examinations corejis the only criterion for his academic performance students driven to memorize mechanically rather than to think creatively.

　　In fact, few of us admit that examinations can contribute anything really important to the students’ academic development. If that is the case, why cannot we make a change and devise something more efficient and reliable than examinations? (153 words)译文赏析：

　　我对考试的看法

　　现在在大多数学院和大学，考试被用来衡量学生在学习某门课程上 是成功还是失败的主要方法。虽然这很有效，但它也有很大的副作用。

　　一方面，考试降低了教学标准。由于经常通过考试成绩来评判老师， 他们就会降低要求至只训练学生的考试技巧。以参加考试为目标的话， 没有课程能被成功地教授。另一方面，最有害的影响就是，考试助长了 学生不好的学习习惯。由于考试成绩是评断他学习表现的唯一标准，学 生被迫机械地记忆，而不是进行创造性的思考。

　　事实上，我们中很少有人承认考试对学生学业的发展有任何真正重 要的作用。如果真的是这样的话，为什么我们不做个改变，设计出一些 比考试更有效更可靠的东西呢?
