IV Written Work
Answer the question in about 130 words.
Do you agree with the author that severe punishment is not the answer to the problem of crime?
Sample:
I don't think that severe punishment is the answer to the problem of crime. But I look at the matter from a different point of view. The author simply believes harsh punishment isn't feasible because it costs too much. My view is that punishment, including harsh measures; is necessary but punishment alone won't help much. It is effective only when governments make effort to wipe out what gives rise to crimes, for example, poverty, inequality, racial hatred, money worship, TV violence, etc. , in short, to remove barriers for less fortunate members of society to better themselves. Punishment can proce good results only when it is combined with effective correctional measures to make law-abiding citizens out of criminals. This is a difficult but worthwhile job. (124 words)

『贰』 新时代大学英语2第三单元短文翻译

女孩14岁就已经进入性发育期,现代女孩由于接触激素的机会更多,会成熟得更早,这是很正专常的事情.千万不属要去指责她,那会烙下心里阴影,还会影响两代人之间的感情和信任.面对这样的问题,首先要问的是你自己和女儿的关系如何?你自己的对话能力如何?平常女儿信任你吗?如果对着三样你都有信心的话,可以考虑与女儿一起讨论性问题,逐步教给她正确的性观念和性习惯.但是如果这三方面存在着困难的话,我的建议是装作什么都不知道,“难得糊涂”一回,因为在这种私密的问题上,不正确的干预会比任他自生自灭更可怕.
另外楼上提到的找些性教育的书给她看是很好的,但是最好是不经意的放在某个地方,让她自己找到.

Task 2: Flooding in Haiti and the Dominican Republic
Script
The death too continues to (S1) climb from last week’ flooding in Haiti and the Dominican Republic. The U.S. Agency for International Development (S2) reports that at least1,068 people are dead, 1,600 are (S3) missing, and 25,000 are in need of emergency food and other forms of (S4)assistance. In Dominican Republic, 414 are dead and 274 are missing, all from the town of Jimani.
A key(S5) factor in the widespread destruction is the extensive deforestation and the (S6) presence of settlements along the floodplains of rivers.
The flooding was driven by intense rainfall. A low-pressure system (S7) originating in Central America brought exceptionally heavy rain and thunderstorms to Haiti and the Dominican Republic from May 18 t o25. (S8) Rainfall exceeded 500 mm (or 19.7 inches) along the border areas of Haiti and the Dominican Republic ring that period. At the town of Jimani, Dominican Republic, 250mm (or 10 inches) of rain fell in just 24 hours, causing the Solie River to overflow its banks from May24 to 25.The heavy rainfall resulted in flash flooding and extensive debris flowed over the entire region. Swollen rivers and debris cut off many of the roads traversing the area along the base of the mountains. (S9) This made it difficult for humanitarian relief worker to rescue stranded people and deliver badly-needed food, medicine and supplies to residents. Now people want to know: How often do floods and related landmass movement also caused landsides in a few places.
(S10)Analysis of the past date shows that major floods in the Dominican Republic and Haiti are now a near-annual event. Since 1986, twelve lethal events have occurred on the island.
