Directions: Translate the following Chinese into English.

Avatar, a science fiction film directed by well-known director James Cameron, makes people ponder and gives a profound impression to me. It earned billions of dollars at an alarming rate and has become one of the best box office movies sofar all over the world. What makes it succeed? Some people consider its gorgeous virtual frames made by computer but I think that its connotation is more wonderful. Avatar wants us to think why most human beings in this film urge wealth, even damage the environment and slaughter the natives on Pandora? Is the reason that Pandora isn't our home? Obviously, it's not. Humans damage earth environment and hurt each other, too. James Cameron shows people's greed through the film to make us feel disgusted with the men who ruin the environment.

    Choosing an Occupation

One of the most important problems a young person faces is deciding what to do. There are some people, ofcourse, who from the time they are six years old know that they want to be doctors or pilots or fire fighters, but the majority of us do not get around to making a decision about an occupation or career until somebody or something forces us to face the problem.


Choosing an occupation takes time, and there are a lot of things you have to think about as you try to decide what you would like to do. You may find that you will have to take special courses to qualify for a particular kind of work, or you may find out that you will need to get actual work experience to gain enough knowledge to qualify for a particular job.


Fortunately, there are a lot of people you can turn to for advice and help in making your decision. At most schools, there are teachers who are professionally qualified to give you detailed information about job qualifications. And you can talk over your ideas with family members and friends who are always ready to listen and to offer suggestions.
