1、1Prose：Of Marriage and Single Life P171.Is marriage an impediment or help to ones career development?In the easy Of Marriage and Single life, Bacon prefers marriage to single life. He thinks “unmarried men are best friends; best masters; best servants; but not always best subjects; for they are ligh
2、t to run away; and almost all fugitives are of that condition”, “Wives are young mens mistresses; companions for middle age; and old mens nurses”. I have to say his words can still be true today; Im at his back, though many young people now choose to remain single no mater male or female. But since
3、“3S ladies” or “overleft ladies” become the catch word, the female seems more terrible. Maybe because women are easier to get old but to men 30 is the gold ages of career development. For the main reasons of 3S ladies, some are high standard for husband; some are the further studying. For men, maybe
4、 they are fighting in business; maybe they are too bad to find a wife.Then we can see all the state of present marriage. Even though some say “marriage is the tomb of love”, I yet support marriage. Marriage and family make people more responsible and loving, make deeper love between spouses and make
5、 life more colorful. The ability to love and be loved is the most precious of gifts given to man, which should be highly treasured. Family let a man learn to care the whole unit. He has to take good care of his wife and son, love them, be responsible for them, all of which are the same to women. All
6、 these qualities are vital to anyones career. When you work back home, wife or husband is always the listener to you, son the warm heart to you. Spouses help each other and support each other; family is the harbor for soul. Thus it is help to ones career development.2.Certainly, wife and children ar
7、e “a kind of discipline of humanity”。妻子儿女显然是人性的一种纪律约束A bachelors 单身 life focus is but himself, so he will spend a lot of money on everything that feast his eyes without hesitation. Whats more, he is likely to have a go at any risks that make him feel exciting and fresh for being free from any burden
8、.However, a married man always tends to think twice before making an important decision in order to prevent bringing any harm to his family. He should have the motivation to work hard to fulfill wife and childrens expectation.As a result, family let a man learn to care the whole unit. He has to take
9、 good care of his wife and son, love them, be responsible for the.A loving husband and a qualified father can contribute the greatest merit for the public to a large extent.人的感情会移位，结婚的人对人生的态度肯定与单身之时不一样。有孩子的人更因为对孩子的爱迁移到芸芸众生身上。结婚意味着两个人的结合，不论肉体还是精神。在无形中把不相干的两个人熔铸成合体的一个人，对对方的关心和照顾如同自己，对对方的牵挂那是牵肠挂肚。婚姻也让两
10、个人变得更有责任感，感情更加丰富，对社会将会产生奇异的变化，对人生的探索产生深远的影响。单身是自由的，没有婚姻的束缚，没有孩子的牵绊，享受生命的存在，享受一个人的独处.当孤独来临时单身的人会去找人生的知己，会碰到与之共度人生的另一半，于是便有了婚姻。3.Bacon prefers marriage to single life. Do you find his arguments convincing?Yes. I think Bacons arguments are convincing. In the demonstration process, Bacon uses the method
11、 comparison to analyze the advantages of marriage and the shortcomings of single life in order to tell us marriage is better than single life. Taking the sentence “wives are young mens mistresses, companions for middle age, and old mens nurses” for example, it is quite convincing and reasonable. Mar
12、riage can bring happiness to people. It is the ecstasy when people pursue marriage in their youth. To a young man, on one hand, a wife needs his care and good graces. A wife is a flower and a man should pay much attention to her and give her special love. On the other hand, women are always older th
13、an men according to their mental ages. So, wives are more mature than her husband and she could make many decisions and arrangements for the family. That is why wives are young mens mistresses. When a man in his middle age, he needs his wife to help him not only in the career but also in the family
14、life. The middle-aged man suffers great pressure in career and he wants his wife to support the family together. Also, he could confide his troubles to his wife. So, that is the reason for having a wife in middle age. When the man grows older, his body is not so strong like before. So, he needs his
15、wife to take care of him and do the things as “nurses” for him. In addition, an old man is always like a child and he needs special attention from his wife. So, according to the reasons mentioned above, a wife is always necessary to a man and a wife always plays important and irreplaceable role in a
16、 mans life. In addition, the argument is the conclusion according to Bacons longtime observation and consideration towards life. From my perspective, his arguments are convincing.I think his arguments are convincing. Bacons basic idea is that marriage is good to both individual and society. His anal
17、ysis is taken step by step. At first, a single man thinks just to live a single life can he make some great contributions to the society. But a single person only cares about himself, he doesnt pay attention to the future, it can be very unwise. Single life could also make a man to be serious to his
18、 freedom. On the contrary, marriage makes a man be responsible, tender, enthusiastic and warm-hearted. As the author saying: “wives are young mens mistresses, companions for middle age, and old mens nurses”. It means that when a man is young, wife talks about love with him, when he comes to middle a
19、ge, wife always stay with him as a companion, when he becomes old, wife will take care of him till the end of time. Even though a wife marries a bad husband, marriage offers a good chance for husband to correct themselves. The whole essays main point is very obvious, author tells from two aspects. F
20、irstly, he says how bad it is to be a single man. Secondly, he tells a lot of advantages of being married. Each aspect has enough proof. At Bacons period, his arguments may be more convincing than nowadays. 2Of Studies P181.We are now living in the age of “information explosion”. What lessons can we
21、 learn from Bacons in our access to information?Our planet is developing forward. The fast-moving development of science and technology makes it more convenient for students to get sufficient and effective information by countless ways. That is the external condition for our study, which we can appr
22、opriately make full use of. But what we have to keep in mind is that the eternal master of study is no one but ourselves in the process of studying. Actually, Im sure everyone clearly knows the importance and significance of reading, of studies. However, the biggest problem is that they hardly have
23、powerful resistance to those temptations around us, such as new-style video games, latest Hollywood block-buster, Avril Ramona Lavignes next concert. Placed in the information current, young students are difficult to rationally deal with the flooding information. The terrible result is that they bec
24、ome more and more indifferent to reading books, and whenever academic assigns come , we just start up their computer and access to information on the Internet no matter how much information they can really copy and make use. What a pity!As to efficient study methods to all these information, Bacon i
25、nsists on the combination of theory and practice, “studies themselves do give forth directions too much at large, except they be bounded in by experience.” And in terms of books which mean for today not only paper books but also information online for example e-books, Bacon holds the view “some book
26、s are to be read only in parts; others to be read, but not curiously; and some few to be ready wholly, and with diligence and attention”. All the ideas can definitely give college students precious lessons to study and reading books today. When we face the flooding information, some are to be read i
27、n part; theyre just providing nothing than background which can be useful to understand and complete assignments. We cannot merely depend all on the computer instead of meditate hard on our own. Of course, practicing is quite significant today. In fact, that doesnt mean practice should be the action
28、 out of papers; in turn, the term paper finished on ones own is a practice of applying his knowledge to practical writing. Information around us is showing up without stopping. They are all never checked by experts, true or false. We access to them when in need. Still we have to be cautious and just
29、 view them as a reminder or brainstorm resources to help integrate our ideas to well organize the whole assignment. This is the right attitude to information and to our own study. 2.In what sense does reading make a full man? Reading makes a full man. Histories make men wise, poets, witty; the mathe
30、matics, subtle; natural philosophy, deep; moral, grave; logic and rhetoric, able to contend. Reading histories makes people learn lessons from the ancient time, avoid making the same mistakes and predict the development of things. People who read histories will be wiser than these who just act accor
31、ding to their own preferences without learning from histories. Reading poem s makes people learn the beauty of language, the beautiful classical style of art and live a poetic life. People who read poems will be wittier than these who havent feel the beautiful mood and pure life. Reading mathematics
32、 makes people focus on the accurate calculation, develop a scientific attitude, and form a pragmatic spirit. People who read mathematics will be more subtle to consider things from all aspects and do things from the drop carefully than these who dont read. Reading natural philosophy makes people pur
33、sue truth, explore the unknown mystery, and practice actively. People who read natural philosophy will be deeper than these who dont learn the theory of reflecting the truth. Reading moral makes people learn the way of harmony living, form the principle of ethical behaviors and develop correct outlo
34、oks on values. People who read moral will be graver than these who behave without correct principles and cant deal with different relationships. Reading logic makes people master the rules of thinking, dealing with different things and exploring objective reality. People who read logic will be more
35、contend to have clear ideas, mater the principles of objective truth than these who dont act according to rules. Different kinds of reading materials play different roles in making a full man. People should get into different reading fields and train themselves to become a comprehensive talent. Read
36、ing will do good to ones physical health according to some reading materials of physical training. Whats more important, reading promotes the development of logic thinking and morality. People can be called a full man on condition that they have fine quality, delicate self-cultivation and strict mor
37、ality. Try to read extensively and become a full man.As far as Im concerned, reading can make a full man, can cultivate a man, and can make a man move forward in the way he understand the view of the world, the life and the value. A full man should have a positive world view and adopt an active phil
38、osophy of life, which are usually based on a balanced knowledge structure. From Francis Bacons Of Studies, I know that the essay not only introduces the methods of reading books and discusses the purposes and functions of reading, but also analyzes the different attitudes of the people who are readi
39、ng books. Most importantly, we can know how to be a full man from reading. Francis Bacons Of Studies says “Histories make men wise, poets, witty; the mathematics, subtle; natural philosophy, deep; moral, grave; logic and rhetoric, able to contend.” That is to say, we read all kinds of books in order
40、 to have more perfect knowledge and form critical thinking which can make us be a full man by reading. .Reading can make a full man. That is to say, we should read more books which are useful and helpful for us. Reading can enlarge our knowledge in different fields. From Of Studies, studies serve fo
41、r delight, for ornament, and for ability. It means that studies can make people happy, wise, increasing knowledge. If we read all kinds of books, we are able to taste what might not happen to us in real life, and then ask ourselves what we would do in that situation. Besides, we 3read more books and
42、 fewer mistakes would be made by us. For that, we can learn more mistake examples from books so that we will make few mistakes in the future. So reading can make a man full because it can make the man taste all the emotions about the world and have a true understanding about the life. Of Studies als
43、o teach us that we should choose some book to read, but not read all the books. Some useful books should be read carefully and taken notes. Different books have different functions, the essay tells us that reading different books can bring different knowledge which we lack. The essay says that diffe
44、rent books have different methods to read.In a word, reading books of certain field brings certain knowledge and ability we lack. Of Studies gives us the method of reading books and getting knowledge. It also tells us different books have different functions for us. So whether reading makes a full m
45、an lies in what books you read and how you read. Reading a right book can make a man more wise, more emotional and more respected.Poems:Hamlet P81.Why is sleep so frightening, according to Hamlet, since it can “end” the heartache and the thousand natural shocks”? Nobody can predict what he will drea
46、m of after he falls asleep.Death means the end of life, you may go to or unknown world and you cant comeback,. If he dies, Hamlet s cant realize his will. Though “sleep” can end the heartache and the thousand natural shocks, it is a state of mind. Hamlet didnt know at all. He is frightened by the po
47、ssible suffering in the long “dream”. He cant predict what will happen in the sleep, may be good may be evil. 2.Why would people rather bear all the sufferings of the world instead of choosing death to get rid of them, according to Hamlet? Death is so mysterious that nobody knows what death will bri
48、ng to us. Maybe bitter sufferings, great pains, heartbreaking storiesBecause people hold the same idea “to grunt and sweat under a weary life, but that the dread of something after death-the undiscoverd country, form whose bourn no traveler returns-puzzle the will, and make us rather bear those ills
49、 we have than fly to others that we know not of?”People also are frightened by the myths in another world after death.3.What, after all, makes people lose their determination to take action? Please explain in relation to the so-called hesitation of Hamlet. Conscience and over-considerations. He wants to revenge, but doesnt know how. He wants to kill his uncle, but finds it too risky. He lives in despair and wants to commit suicide. However, he knows if he dies, nobody will comfort his fathers ghost. He is in face of great dilemma. They don
