2008年的“5·12”汶川地震的阴影还未完全消散,2010年玉树地震、舟曲泥石流又给人们带来了巨大的经济损失和身心创伤。

面对罕见的自然灾害,有人说“天灾不由人,抗灾不由天”,请对此作简要评析。(8分)

答案

(1)规律是客观的,它既不能被消灭,也不能被创造。地震是自然规律起作用的结果,因此,“天灾不由人”有其合理性。但人们在处理人与自然关系时,如果按客观规律办事,也能在一定程度上减少或避免自然灾害的发生。

(2)规律是客观的,但并不意味着人们在规律面前无能为力,人们能够正确发挥主观能动性,认识和利用规律为人类造福,所以“抗灾不由天”也是正确的。

Finding the right school for your child is a process. You will want to read about the school, talk to any friends who are involved in the school and, most important of all, visit the school.

The first step in finding out about Indian Creek is to request an information packet. We will be happy to send you a packet containing a brochure(小册子), the fee structure and an application. The packet should answer most of your general questions about the school.

In order to get a true sense of Indian Creek School, you should come for an Admission Tour, which includes a personal meeting focusing on your child, a tour of the building and the classrooms, and a discussion of the curriculum(课程).

This visit is no less important if the child for whom you are seeking admission is a teenager than if he or she is a three-year-old one. Every school has a different “school climate.” If you visit two or three schools, you will notice that each “feels” different. You know your child best and you will quickly develop a sense of whether a school is the right match or not.

●The initial point of entry for Indian Creek Students is at the pre-kindergarten level for three year olds.

●Children must be three years old by August 31st.

●We also have major points of entry from grade six to grade nine. At each of these levels, we open new sections and accept students in addition to those moving up from our own lower grades.

●There are scattered(零散的) openings available throughout the program due to attrition(学生流失). Once an opening occurs, students spend a day at ICS, part of which includes admission testing.
