2) 运动员的实力，如个人的的身体素质，直接关系到战术事实 (isclosely related to the application of the strategies in sports competition)

No.6 Some people believe thatnational sports teams and individual athletes who represent their countryshould be financially supported by the government. Some people think that theyshould be funded by non-government groups (e.g. Business, sponsorship.) What isyour opinion? 运动员是应该被政府还是被其他非政府机构赞助?
话题解析
由私人企业赞助的缺点
1) 私人企业根据运动员的表现和盈利能力(based on the performance and profit-earning capacity in terms ofreturns on investment )，导致体育发展的不均衡(unbalanceddevelopment of sports);
2) 私人企业组织比赛目的是娱乐大众(organize competitions to entertain the public)和吸引观众付费(attract fee-paying spectators)，将观赏性体育(spectatorsport)商业化(commercialize sports);
3) 私人企业以获利为目的(runfor profit)，不顾运动员的安全(disregard the safety of athlets)，运动员比赛过分密集，训练强度过大(over-training)
由私人企业赞助的优点
1) 体育事业可以有更好的发展，企业可以同时提高自己的知名度(boost or drive their images)，打响品牌名(createbrand name awareness)，加强和改善自己在公众心理的形象(reinforce ormodify its image in the public eye)，实现双赢
2) 私人机构管理比较有效，避免体育机构滥用国家下拨的体育专项经费为自己谋取利益(some sports organizations may misuse the money allotted fortheir own benefit)
3) 私人可以赞助组织多场比赛，提高运动员的实战技术和水平，增加在国际比赛上的露面机会(international exposure)
4) 运动员容易受伤(susceptibleto injuries)，有了私人企业的赞助，运动员可以获得更多的利益(gain more profit)，这样会为他们在经济上提供一些保障(guarantee a comfortable retirement)

No.7 It is importantthat towns and cities are attractive so money should spend on works of art (likepaintings and statues) in public places. To what extent do you agree ordisagree? 政府是否应投资艺术来提升城市吸引力?
话题解析
同意
把钱花在艺术作品上是有一定的合理性的，它对于加强人文素养、提升一个地区展品的层次是非常有益的。Spending money on works of art in public places has its ownrationality, which is conducive to adding a humanistic flavor and improving thedisplay of a region.
不同意
1) 城市丰富的教育资源和工作机会是大部分人涌向城市的原因。提升城市的魅力也可以通过增加就业机会和学习机会的方式来实现。The affluent educational resources and job opportunities in townsare what drive most people from other regions. To invest in increasingemployment and learning opportunities is another way to gain charm.
2) 把资金投入改善住房条件也能提升城市的吸引力。Injecting funds in improving housing conditions can pull upthe glamour index of metropolises and towns.

No.8 Research shows thatovereating can be just as harmful as smoking. Thus the advertising of certainfood products should be banned, as cigar is banned in many countries. To whatextent do you agree or disagree? 研究表明进食过量和吸烟一样有害，所以部分食物的广告应该被禁止。你是否同意这个看法?
话题解析
应该禁止广告
一些常见的视频广告的视频都是不健康的，比如肯德基和麦当劳。经常看到这样的广告的人们更有可能会吃比实际需要的食物，尤其是没有自制能力的小孩 (children who do not have self-restraint)
不应该禁止广告
但是仅仅是禁止某些广告并不会完全杜绝过度饮食 (overeating)。本地的快餐店和超市也要为这个不健康的饮食习惯负责。本地的市场很难买到新鲜水果和蔬菜，也使得人们会吃更多的垃圾食品和熟食 (processed food)，因为他们更加方便。
