51.Those who gain fame most often gain it as a result of possessing a single talent or skill: sing-ing, dancing, painting, or writing, etc. The successful performer develops a style that is marketed aggressively and gains some popularity. And it is this popularity that usually convinces the perform-er to continue performing in the same style, since that is what the public seems to want and to en-joy. But in time, the performer becomes .bored singing the same songs in the same way year after year, or the painter becomes bored painting similar scenes or portraits, or the actor is tired of pla-ying the same character repeatedly.
答案：失业的社会成本远远超出了政府提供的福利和失业补贴。一项新的联邦调查显示，失业增加了离婚、虐待儿童、酗酒的几率。一些专家认为这个问题是暂时性的，新的技术终将刨造与它毁掉数量相同的工作岗位。但是未来学者海门?赛宣称，新科技效率惊人，这意味着所需人类劳动的数量减少。他说：“我们应该把这看成是给人们更多空闲的机会。这可能并不简单，但社会将不得不在劳动分工上重新达成一致。”

答案：Is a Test of Spoken English Necessary
In many kinds of English tests such as CET (College English Test), TEM (Test for English majors), etc. a test of spoken English will be optional. Some people consider that it is unquestion-ably necessary to hold a test of spoken English in China because spoken English is as important as written English. Both of them are effective communication ways for English speakers, But some-times even those top students who are good at grammar and writing skills find that it is difficult to express their thoughts freely when speaking. A test of spoken English Will make students attach more importance to oral English, and thus help them with their communicating skills.
On the other hand, there are also people who hold that good reading, writing and translating skills would be enough for the average English learners. College students are already under great pressure from their study. Another required test wili be a burden to them.
In my opinion, I believe that a test of spoken English will do more good than harm. And I shall make all my efforts to practice and improve my spoken English.
