【篇一】2021年上半年大学英语四级话题作文赏析
Our everyday existence is divided into two phases,as distinct as day and night.We call them work and play.We work so many hours a day,and when we have allowed the necessary minimum for such activities as eating and shopping,the rest we spend in various activities which are known as recreations,an elegant word which disguises the fact that we usually do not even play in our hours of leisure,but spend them in various forms of passive enjoyment or entertainment —not playing football but watching football matches;not acting, but theatre-going;not walking, but riding in a motor coach.
Therefore we need to define clearly the difference not only between work and play but,equally, between active play and passive entertainment.It is, I suppose,the decline of active play —of amateur sport —and the enormous growth of purely receptive entertainment which has given rise to a sociological interest in the problem.If the greater part of the population,instead of indulging in sport,spend their hours of leisure “viewing” television progra妹妹es,there will inevitably be a decline in health and physique.
And in addition, there will be a psychological problem,for we have yet to trace the mental and moral consequences of a prolonged diet of sentimental or sensational spectacles on the screen.There is, if we are optimistic,the possibility that the diet is too thin and not nourishing enough to have much permanent effect on anybody.Nine films out of ten seem to leave absolutely no impression on the mind or imagination of those who see them:few people can give a coherent account of the film they saw the week before last,and at longer intervals they must rely on the management to see that they do not sit through the same film twice.

There was once a victim of overwhelming numbers called King Shirham of India,who, according to the old legend,wanted to reward his grand Prime Minister Sissa for inventing and presenting to him the game of chess.The desire of the clever minister seemed very modest.“Majesty,” he said kneeling in front of the king,“give me a grain of wheat to put on the first square of this chessboard,and two grains to put on the second square,and four grains to put on the third.And so, oh King, doubling the number for each succeeding square,give me enough grains to cover all 64 square of the board.”“You do not ask for much, oh my faithful servant,”exclaimed the king,secretly enjoying the thought that his liberal proposal of a gift to the inventor would not cost him much of his treasure.“Your wish will certainly be granted.”
And he ordered a bag of wheat to be brought to the throne.But when the counting began,it was found that the bag was emptied before the twentieth square was accounted for.More bags of wheat were brought before the king but the number of grains needed for each succeeding square increased so rapidly that it soon became clear that with all the crop of Indian the king could not fulfill his promise to Sissa. To do so would have required 18，446，744，073，709，551，615 grains!Assuming that a bushel of wheat contains about 5 million grains,one would need some 4×1012 bushels to satisfy the demand of Sissa.
Since the world production of wheat averages about 2×109 bushels a year,the amount requested by the minister was that of the world’s wheat production for the period of some two thousand years!Thus King Shirham found himself deep in debt to his minister and had either to face the incessant flow of the latter’s demands,or to cut his head off.We suspect that he chose the latter alternative.

To avoid the various foolish opinions to which mankind is prone, no superhuman genius is required.A few simple rules will keep you,not from all error,but from silly error.If the matter is one that can be settled by observation,make the observation yourself.Aristotle could have avoided the mistake of thinking that women have fewer teeth than men,by the simple device of asking Mrs. Aristotle to keep her mouth open while he counted.He did not do so because he thought he knew.Thinking that you know when in fact you don’t is a fatal mistake,to which we are all prone.
Many matters, however,are less easily brought to the test of experience.If, like most of mankind,you have convictions on many such matters,there are ways in which you can make yourself aware of your own bias.If an opinion contrary to your own makes you angry,that is a sign that you are subconsciously aware of having no good reason for thinking as you do.If someone maintains that two and two are five,you feel pity rather than anger.
The most savage controversies are those about matters as to which there is no good evidence either way.Persecution is used in theology, not in arithmetic,because in arithmetic there is knowledge,but in theology there is only opinion.So whenever you find yourself getting angry about a difference of opinion,be on your guard; you will probably find,on examination,that your belief is going beyond what the evidence warrants.A good way of riding yourself of certain kinds of dogmatism is to become aware of opinions held in social circles different from your own.Seek out people with whom you disagree,and read a newspaper belonging to a party that is not yours.
If the people and the newspaper seem mad and wicked,remind yourself that you seem so to them In this opinion both parties may be right,but they cannot both be wrong.This reflection should generate caution.
