多少年来，我养成了一个习惯：每天早晨四点在黎明以前起床工作。我不出去跑步或散步，而是一下床就干活儿。因此我对黎明前的北京的了解是在屋子里感觉到的。我从前在什么报上读过一篇文章，讲黎明时分天安门广场上的清洁工人。那情景必然是非常动人的，可惜我从未能见到，只是心向往之而已。 参考答案：
（1）Many Chinese people simply don’t think that there are enough hours in the day. That is the findings of an online survey which shows that people in China are working and studying longer than ever before. The rapid pace of the nation’s economic development in recent years has forced many to change gear and live a life in the “fast lane”, challenging the traditional Chinese concept of a leisurely existence. The survey, conducted by the Chinese news portal Sina.com, reveals that 56% of people are simply short of time. And 75% of the total surveyed said that Chinese have little idea of how valuable time is, indicating that people should value and pursue a more time-efficient life style.
（2）Good communication includes many skills. People must be able to talk and write about their ideas so that others can clearly understand them. In addition, communication includes working well in a group. In most businesses, groups of people collaborate to solve problems and create new ideas. Everyone must listen carefully, ask questions and explain ideas clearly. Lastly, good communication includes knowing how to work with people from different cultures. People in today’s schools and businesses come from all over the world. In this global economy, speaking a second language is a real advantage.
（3）Nowadays, more and more university students complain about having great difficulties in finding a good job. The reasons for this phenomenon are as follows: First, college students spend most of their time at school studying academic subjects and it is only when they start looking for a job that they realize they lack necessary
job training. Second, competition among graduates has become more and more fierce. And this results in a decreased chance for any individual graduate to find a job. Therefore, it is highly suggested that college students should do some part-time jobs in their spare time to accumulate relevant working experience.
（4）China is witnessing the fastest development of its economy and experiencing a new industrial revolution. Also, China has started the ambitious program for exploring the outer space, including to complete a space station by2020. Currently, being one of the largest exporters in the world, China is attracting massive foreign investment. Simultaneously, it has invested billions of dollars overseas. In 2011, China surpassed Japan as the world’s second-largest economy.
（5）Vancouver’s prosperity owes to the intelligence and diligence of the people there, as well as to the contributions made by a variety of other ethnic groups. Canada is vast country with a sparse population, having a territory larger than that of China but a population of less than 30 million. That is why Canada has long adopted a national policy of absorbing immigrants from other countries. We may say that, with the exception of the (aboriginal) Indian people, Canadians are made up immigrants, different from each other only in how long they have settled down there. Vancouver is most typical of this which is among the few cities in the world featuring multi-nationalities.
（6）For many years, I have been in the habit of getting up before daybreak to start work at four. Instead of going out for a jog or walk, I’ll set about my work as soon as I’m out of bed. As a result, it is from inside my study that I've got the feel of predawn Beijing. Years ago, I hit upon a newspaper article about street cleaners in Tian’anmen Square at daybreak. It must have been a very moving scene, but what a pity I haven’t seen it with my own eyes. I can only picture it in my mind longingly.
