那个计划需要团结协作,才能得以实施.
合作是那个计划的一部分
cooperation 的意思是合作，合作可能是那个计划的一部分Why Not Walk Away from My Mortgage? - The Simple Dollar
Posted on May 25, 2010
Kelli writes in:
My husband and I are sitting on a thirty year mortgage (with twenty six years left to go).
We still owe $330,000 on our home.
A week ago, a very similar home to ours two blocks away sold for $220,000, so we’re under water by at least $100,000.
We are thinking of just walking away from this mortgage and renting an apartment for a while until our credit clears up.
What do you think?
First of all, there’s a strong personal moral element to this type of decision.
Is it morally wrong to walk away from a mortgage?
You’ll get strong, impassioned answers on both sides of the question.
Some will argue that if you make an agreement with another entity, you’re obligated to stick to it to the best of your ability.
Others will argue that banks know what they’re getting into with a mortgage and that foreclosure is a risk they accept in the agreement, so you’re just doing something within the bounds of the agreement.
As with most morality questions, I can’t tell you what to think.
I personally feel walking away from your agreements when you have the capacity to fulfill them is morally wrong, akin to lying.
If I were a lender, I would never lend to someone who walked away from a mortgage because I would simply view them as too big of a risk.
But I’m not a mortgage lender.
Aside from that moral concern, though, is it really a good financial choice?
I think it can be, but it depends on the other choices that the person makes.
First of all, walking away from a mortgage will drop your credit rating by 150 points and it will take several years to recover.
Such a drop has a huge impact if your credit is good, but a much smaller impact if your credit is already bad.
What kind of impact?
It will become incredibly difficult to get a car loan or another mortgage with any sort of competitive interest rate.
Lenders will look at your credit score and if your score is low, they won’t offer you a prime loan (if they offer you one at all).
You have to accept that you’ll either be paying for cars and homes in cash for the next several years or you’re going to be taking out loans with incredibly painful interest rates and down payments.
If you’re going to do this, your best approach is to make sure you have housing and automobiles lined out for the next several years before your credit collapses.
If you’re going to get a mortgage on a second home, do it now and get a fixed rate mortgage while your credit is still good.
If you’re going to rent, get your rental agreement set up now before you walk away.
If you’re going to need a car in the next seven years, you might want to make the move now (unless you’ll have the cash to do it later).
Another impact is that many other services use your credit ratings to determine what to charge you and whether to do business with you.
Insurance is one example of this – most insurance companies regularly do a “soft pull” of your credit and use declining credit as a reason to raise your rates.
Many upscale renters will do the same thing and not rent to people with poor credit, which may limit the places where you can rent your housing.
Potential employers often pull your credit (I’ve had two employers in the past do this) and use that as an element of their hiring decision, often leaning towards people with good credit over people with poor credit.
These are all serious additional costs of walking into foreclosure.
In the end, I don’t think Kelli should walk away from her mortgage as a first response.
She should try several other avenues first that would preserve her credit and perhaps even allow her and her family to remain in the home.
First, I’d simply talk to the lender.
Explain your situation and discuss options available to you.
It’s often easier for a lender to just refinance with you (sometimes even removing some of the principal) than it is to put the homes in foreclosure.
Many lenders are currently focused on refinancing in this way rather than taking on more foreclosed homes, so it’s certainly an option.
Second, I’d look at the extra financial costs of what will happen if you do foreclose.
Run the numbers carefully here.
Include all the extra costs – a serious bump in your insurance rates, for example – and make sure you also include some estimate of the cost of the risks mentioned above – the extra cost of a new car or the challenge of finding a rental home or a new job.
Those things have serious financial costs if they occur – or they might have no cost at all.
A good way to appraise it is to figure out the cost if it does happen, then estimate the odds of it happening.
So, if something has a cost of $100,000 and has a 40% chance of happening, it’d be a $40,000 cost.
You might be surprised to find that staying put is the best option, even if you happen to be underwater in your mortgage.
If you still find that abandoning is the best option. then it becomes the moral question discussed above – and moral questions are things we all have to decide for ourselves.

When a banker looks me in the eye, hands me a check for $300,000, shakes my hand and says ‘Geoff, no need for paperwork, I have your word and your handshake and I know you’re good for this” I’ll have a moral responsibility to pay back a mortgage.
Until thay day I have a contractual obligation to a bank.
I carefully read my mortgage and there are specific consequences from walking away from my mortgage, specifically they’ll take the house and destroy my credit.
By choosing the consequences I have met my contractual obligations.

作文题一：
this part ， your are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay
explaining &why it is unwise to judge a person
by their appearance 。You can give explain to illustrate your
point .You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200
It is a truth universally acknowledged that the
criteria of judging a person are extremely complex.Various as the
standards might be, judging a person by appearance is the most
unreliable one. As a famous saying goes, it is unwise to judge a
person by their appearance. This proverb aims to deliver the
message that in order to truly know a person, we need to go beyond
their looks and dresses and focus on more profound
There are several reasons supportive of this
statement. Firstly, people are so diverse that some of them are not
willing to demonstrate themeselves by their appearance because they
may dedicate more time to their work and their hobbies. Moreover,
it is too busy for the modern urban people to maintain their
appearance. If we judge a person by their appearance when he or she
is in a bad state, we might lose a possible good friend or an
opportunity. For instance, yesterday the dean of our department, on
his way to the teaching building for an emergent meeting with an
important investor, fell to the ground and got very dirty. But the
new security, taking him for a beggar or a vendor, didn’t allow the
dean to enter the building. Finally, the security was fired for his
arbitrary judgment.
To conclude, judging a person by their
appearance is highly undependable. Therefore, we’d better draw a
conclusion about a person through a long period of observations,
interactions, and communication.
这篇文章的题型没有很难，可以直接当做引言类的文章来写。二段用两原因+一例子的方式是最容易写的。最后一段给出一点点建议就好。
作文二：把全部鸡蛋放到一个篮子里是不明智的。
It is a truth universally acknowledged that we
need to have a plan B when we are doing important things. As a
famous proverbs goes, it is unwise to put all your eggs in one
basket. This saying obviously aims to deliver the message that in
order to avoid possible failures and setbacks, we ought to make
adequate and flexible preparations.
Nobody can be certain of what is going to happen
therefore, we all need to have different plans and
prepations in case of undesirable outcomes. Then, the losses and
risks can be tremendously reduced. For instance, a decade ago,
chinese stock market was extremely profitable and made numerous
people millionnaires just overnight. One day, my uncle came to my
home and he intended to borrow money from my parents. He promised
that he would return the money plus the interest in two years. But
my father was dicreet and he only loaned him a few. Then, he
deposited some in the bank, invested some in the national bond, and
spent the rest on a new apartment. Two years later, chinese stock
market crashed and my uncle nearly lost all his fortune. Luckily,
my father’s decision made more money for us.
To conclude, it is highly unfeasible to put all
eggs in just one basket. Not only will this give rise to the
unexpected and unaffordable result, but we will be inclined to be
irrationale and unreasonable.&
作文三：看到什么、听到什么就立刻得出结论是不明智的。
Living in an age when the adolescents are lack
of the necessary guidance and supervision, we can never fail to
figure out the fact that teenagers are becoming especially
self-conscious. Under this circumstance, the youngsters are more
likely to believe in what they have listened or seen instead of
thinking twice before drawing their conclusions, which is
pathetically and undoubtedly considered controversial or even
unreasonable.
The reasons why I insist on the viewpoint that
we should never directly and irresponsibly come to conclusions only
by listening or seeing mainly lie in the following two aspects. To
begin with, it is an invariable law to every existence in the world
that nothing will stay still even for just one second.So are the
things happening around us. What we see or listen may be just some
particular period of the development of things, which proves
unstable and changeable. In addition, the perspectives we conclude
just through seeing or listening are usually one-sided. Drawing
conclusions rashly is not objective enough to make our statements
persuasive.
To sum up, it is unwise for us to define any
thing as what we assume or imagine at first sight. Only by our
serious thinking and accurate analyzing
can we come up with more rational and reasonable
conclusions.

中文热词通常反映社会变化和文化，有些在外国媒体上愈来愈流行。例如，土豪和大妈都是老词，但已获取了新的意义。
土豪以前指欺压佃户和仆人的乡村地主，现在用于指花钱如流水或喜欢炫耀财富的人，
也就是说，土豪有钱，但是没有品位。大妈是对中年妇女的称呼，但是现在特指不久前金价大跌时大量购买黄金的中国妇女。
土豪和大妈可能会被收入新版的牛津（OXford）英语词典，至今约有120中文加进了牛津英语词典，成了英语语言的一部分。&
The Chinese heated words usually reflect social
changes and culture, some of which are increasingly popular with
foreign media. Tuhao and dama, for example, are both old words, but
they get different meanings now.
The word tuhao used to mean rural landlords
who& oppress their tenants and servants, while now
it refers to people spending money without limits or those showing
off all around. That is to say, tuhao owns& money
rather than taste. The word dama is used to describe middle-aged
women. However, it is regarded as a special word
to& call those Chinese women who rushed to
purchase gold when the gold price decreased sharply not long
Tuhao and dama may be included in the new Oxford
dictionary. Up to now, about 120 Chinese words have been
added& to it, becoming a part of English
此篇文章难度系数不高，属于热门话题，所以同学们在平时备考时可以多了解一些热门话题并对其相关的英文文章多加记忆，会对考试有很大的帮助。
首先我们来看第一段话的重要考察点：&
1中文热词通常反映社会变化和文化，有些（The Chinese
heated words usually reflect social changes and culture， some of
which），这里考查的语法知识很典型，属于非限定性定语从句，从句中的which 指代Chinese heated
words。如果基础不好的同学也可以不用从句而直接用and 连接两个简单句的翻译方法，比如（social changes and
culture, and some of them ）。
2愈来愈流行 （increasingly popular）
这里属于“越来越＋形容词”的考查点如果基础不好的同学可以用最朴素的more and more ＋adj.
来替换，这里不像写作，只需要你能翻出来正确的表达就ok 。&
3例如 （for example
）注意举例子在翻译中是非常常见的知识点，所以同学们一定要多积累一些举例的方法。 以下列出一些常用的表达： like ，such as
，for example ， for instance 。
第二段重点分析如下：
1 定语从句 ：指欺压佃户和仆人的乡村地主 （rural
landlords who &oppress their tenants and servants）
考查标志词“的”，在翻译中遇到“V.＋n.＋的＋n.” 这样的表达时我们可以考虑使用定从来翻译。比如我们看这句话后面的一部分
“现在用于指花钱如流水或喜欢炫耀财富的人” 这里的“喜欢炫耀＋财富＋的＋人”符合我们的模式，我们可以这样翻译：people who
spend money without any limits or like to show off around 。
&当然范文中使用的是分词做定语（people spending money without
limits or those showing off all around）
基础好的同学可以用这样的翻译方法，但实在不能掌握的用定语从句也是很好的。 &
解释，描述性的词语：本段多处用到描述的词语而在翻译中描述的词汇也是极其常考的，希望同学们多做积累。这里列出一些描述，解释性的词语供大家参考：mean
&，refers to ，that is to say，describe ，be regarded
3状语从句：（现在特指不久前金价大跌时大量购买黄金的中国妇女。）这句话是定语从句＋状语从句的考查，考查的是when
引导的时间状语。对于这种从句复合式的考法同学们要理清思路，只要思路清晰翻译起来很好拿分。
这里定语从句的判断还是服从我们讲过的“v.购买+n.黄金+的＋n.妇女” 模式 &
第三段的重点如下：
多动词的翻译：一句话中若有多个动词那这句话的翻译时动词的翻译一定是重点考查对象。（土豪和大妈可能会被收入新版的牛津（OXford）英语词典，至今约有120中文加进了牛津英语词典，成了英语语言的一部分。
此句中第一第二个动词已经被至今这个时间状语所分割开来，所以没有什么好讲的，而第二个动词与第三个之间没有明显的衔接或分割，那么我们就要注意要么用连词连接成为两个简单句（比如Up
to now, about 120 Chinese words have been added
&to it, and become a part of English
language）.要么使用其他的方法讲起成为一个句子，而这里我们使用的是将第三个动词用分词形式来出现。（Up to now,
about 120 Chinese words have been added &to it,
becoming a part of English language.）以上两种翻译方法都是可行的。
综上所述，不难看出本篇文章翻译所考察的知识点其实是很常见的知识点，而且一句话往往有很多种翻译方法，它并不像写作那样对于表达有所谓高级和低级之分，只要能翻出正确的表达，都是能够拿到相应分数的，所以在翻译过程中一定要选择自己所能驾驭的层次来翻，不求多难只求达意。
最近中国科学院（Chinese Academy of Science
）出版了关于其最新科学发现与未来一年展望的年度系列报告。系列报告包括三部分：科学发展报告，高技术发展报告，中国可持续战略报告。第一份报告包含中国科学家的最新发现，诸如新粒子研究与H7N9病毒研究的突破。该报告还突出强调了未来几年需要关注的问题。第二份报告公布了一些应用科学研究的热门领域，如3D打印和人造器官研究。第三份报告呼吁加强顶层设计，以消除工业升级中的结构性障碍，并促进节能减排。
Academy of Science recently published an annual report about its
latest scientific findings and the prospect of the
next& year. The report consists of three parts:
science development, more advanced technology development and the
sustainable strategy of China. The first one includes the latest
findings of Chinese scientists, such as the research of new
particle and the breakthrough in the study of H7N9 virus.
Furthermore, it highlights some problems we need to focus in next
few years. The second one announces some heated fields in applied
science. For example, the 3－dimension
print and the study of artificial human organs. The third one
suggests people enhance the top design in order to get rid of the
structural obstacles in industrial upgrading and to promote the
energy-saving and emission-reduction.
解析：第一句，修饰成分较长，注意分清主干（中国科学院出版了年度系列报告）；第二句，句式简单，考察词汇；第三句考察同义词包括（include,consist
of)替换；第四句无难度；第五句结构和第三句一致，考察专业词汇的翻译（应用科学，3D）;
第六句考察suggest后虚拟语气用should do, do 通常省略，另外考察词汇节能减排。
北京计划未来三年投资7600亿元治理污染，从减少pm2.5排放入手。这一新公布的计划旨在减少四种主要污染源，包括500万辆机动车的尾气排放、周边地区燃煤、来自北方的沙尘暴和本地的建筑灰尘，另外850亿元用于新建或升级城市垃圾处理和污水处理设施，加上300亿元投资未来三年的植树造林。
市政府还计划建造一批水循环利用工厂，并制止违章建筑，以改善环境。另外，北京还将更严厉地处罚违反减排规定的行为。
Beijing is going to invest 760 billion yuan in next& three years to control
pollution, beginning with cutting down the emission of PM 2.5 .
This newly announced project aims to reduce four major sources of
pollution, including exhaust from 5000 thousand motor vehicles,
coal-burning in surrounding areas, sandstorms from the north and
local construction dust. Another 85 billion yuan is used to build
or upgrade the facilities of disposing garbage and sewage of the
city. In addition, 30 billion to support afforestation programs in
next three years.
The municipal government also plans to construct some plants to use
cycle water, banning illegal constructions to modify the
environment. Furthermore, Beijing will punish those who violate the
rules of emission-reduction more severely.
解析：第一句包含两个简单句，两句主语一致，所以可以将后半句改为非谓语形式；
第二句，考察词汇尾气、燃煤、沙尘暴、建筑灰尘；第三句和第四句都是简单句，考察垃圾处理、污水处理、植树造林的表达；第五句两项政府举措，仍然将第二句用非谓语表达。最后一句注意定语从句的使用。
总体上看，这篇六级翻译句式不算很复杂，但是对热点词汇的考察占了比较大的比重。

短文理解：
In a study of older people with sisters and brothers,
psychologist Debra Gold of the Duke Center for the study of aging
and human development found that about 20% said they were hostile
or indifferent to ward their sisters and brothers. Reasons for this
ranged from inheritance disputes to hostility between spouses. But,
many of those who had poor relationships felt guilty. Although most
people admitted to some lingering rivalry, it was rarely strong
enough to end the relationship. Only four out of the 54 people
interviewed had completely broken with their sisters and brothers
and only one of the four felt comfortable with the break. As
sisters and brothers advanced into old age, closeness increases and
rivalry diminishes, explains VC, a psychologist at Purdue
University. Most of the elderly people he interviewed said they had
supportive and friendly dealings and got along well or very well
with their sisters and brothers. Only 4% got along poorly. Gold
found that as people age, they often become more involved with and
interested in their sisters and brothers. 53% of those she
interviewed said that contact with their sisters and brothers
increase innate adulthood. With family and career obligations
reduced, many said that they had more time for each other. Others
said that they felted with time to heal wounds. A man who had
recently reconciled with his brother told Gold there’s something
that lets older people to put aside bad deeds of the past and focus
a little on what we need now, especially when it’s sisters and
16. What does the study by Debra Gold find about older

indifferent to”的改写。
17. 点评：考点信息来自文章中间， “As sisters and brothers advanced into old
age, closeness increases and rivalry diminishes, explains VC”
得出本题答案为选项C: Advance in age.
18. 点评：考点信息来自文章最后， “there’s something that lets older people to
put aside(放到一旁) bad deeds(不好的行为) of the past and focus a little on
what we need now” 得出本题答案为选项B: They tend to forget past unhappy
memories and focus on their present needs.
Passage 2:
Monarch butterflies, the large origin black insects, are common
summer sights in northern United States and Canada. They brighten
in parks and gardens as they fly among the flowers. What makes
monarch butterflies particularly interesting is they migrate, all
the way to California or Mexico in back. They are thought to be the
only insect that does this. Every year in the late summer, monarch
begin their migration to the south, those heading for Mexico go
first for the Louisiana Mississippi region. And then they fly to go
across Mexico into Texas. Once in Mexico, they establish themselves
in one of about 15 sizes in the mountain forth. Each side provides
the winter home for millions of monarchs. The butterflies are so
numerous that they often cover the entire trees. When spring comes,
they began their long journey north. The question is often asked
whether every butterfly makes the round trip journey every year.
And the answer is no. The average monarch lives about nine month.
So when fly the north, they might lay eggs in Louisiana and die.
The eggs of that following generation may be found in Kentucky, the
eggs of next generation may be in the Kang Michigan. The last
generation of the season about the forth may make the journey back
in Mexico and restart the cycle. Scientists learn about the monarch
butterflies’ migration by capturing and placing the identifying
tags in the insects. By recapturing the attempt of the monarch and
noting where they came from, the next scientist can figure out
things like butterfly’s age and its routing
Question 19 to 22
19. what is the unique about the monarch butterfly according to
the speaker?
20. where does the butterfly settle at the end of the
migration?
21. what does the speaker say about the monarch butterflies’
reproduction?
22. what is the talk mainly about ?
19. 点评：本题无法直接得出答案。第3、4句话说，“What makes monarch butterflies
particularly interesting is they migrate, all the way to California
or Mexico in back. They are thought to be the only insect that does
this.” 第4句中的 “the only insect that does
this’就是19题题干的出处，而”this”指的是上文提到的他们迁徙的方式。由此得知，令monarch
butterflies独一无二的是它们的迁徙方式。对应选项C: They are the only insect that
migrates along fixed routes. Fixed routes表示 固定路线，是对原文 “all the way
to California or Mexico in back”的概括性改写。
20. 点评：本题来自文章中间。 “Once in Mexico, they establish themselves in
one of about 15 sizes in the mountain forth. ” 所谓的establish oneself
in some place就表示在某处安家。对应选项D In a Mexican mountain forest.
