　　51.Several days ago, I was suddenly disturbed by a joyous din from outside the window. Looking out of it, I saw scores of boy and girl students in the middle of tidying up the open ground. The girls were in colourful down jackets or woolen sweaters, and the boys were in green army uniforms or dark-coloured jackets. They worked with hoes or shovels. Some were busy fencing off the land with iron-bar railings. Evidently, they were trying to turn the wide open ground in front of our building into a garden bright with lush green grass and blooming flowers.

　　答案：前几天，窗外一阵阵的喧哗笑声，惊动了我。往外看时，原来是好几十个男女同学，正在整理这片空地呢!女学生穿的羽绒衣，毛衣，红红绿绿的;男学生有的穿绿军装，有的穿深色的衣服。他们拿着种种工具，锄土的锄土，铲土的铲土，安放矮栏的就在场地边上安插下小铁栏杆。看来我们楼前这个大片土地，将会被这群青年人整治成一座绿草成茵、繁花似锦的公园。

　　答案：Why We Work

　　When we live in the world, weall work for some reasons or other. Different people have different attitudestowards work. Some people live to work. They devote themselves to their work. Theaim for which they work is to realize the value of life, to promote the de-velopmentof society and to make more people live a happy life.They make great contribu-tions to society and at the same time they also findpleasure in their work.

　　On the other hand, other peoplework to live. They regard work as a way of making a living. The purpose for which they work is to kill time or to make enoughmoney to support themselves and their families. Theyoften regard work as what they have to do. So they can'tobtain pleasure and enjoyment from their work. Such people,once they can afford to support themselves and their families, perhaps quittheir work.

　　In my opinion, we shouldn't goto extremes. Since we are members of society, we should do what we can to betterthe society so that we can live in a more comfortable and more convenientsurrounding. Good life is an assurance of smooth work. Only when we re-alize this can we live happily and work well.
