In William Shakespeare’s play, Julius Caesar, there is major difference between two of the characters, Brutus and Mark Antony, Brutus was very honorable and Antony was very persuasive. When Brutus spoke at Caesar’s funeral, he appealed to the people’s logic and Antony spoke to the emotions of the people. Antony was very smart and used his brain frequently during the play and Brutus was very naive(天真的，率直的) about many of things.
Brutus was very honorable in the way that he always told people the truth. Antony was persuasive in the way that he used people to get whatever he wanted. For example, Antony used Lepidus to seek revenge on all of the conspirators (同谋者，阴谋者) to take the blame for their deaths. Brutus’ speech at Caesar’s funeral was very short and to the point and spoke to the logic of the people in the crowd. For example, Brutus spoke in a detached way about Caesar’s death while Antony spoke to the emotions of the crowd by crying and talking about all the good things that Caesar did for Rome. Antony’s intelligence was very apparent throughout the play and Brutus appeared to be naive about many things. Antony as smart in the way that he controlled people to his own advantage. Brutus appeared to be naive throughout the whole play because he believed everyone was as honorable as he. Brutus did not question what he was told, assuming it was always true.
In conclusion, in William Shakespeare’s play, Julius Caesar, there is a major difference between the two characters, Brutus and Mark Antony. The strongest contrast between the two characters appears to be their ability and inability to be both honorable and persuasive.

阅读下面的短文, 然后按要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文.
Students should concentrate on their lessons and not be distracted by housework chores, farm labour, and other daily manual work. The reason is obvious. Students are trained to be future builders of this country with knowledge and skills. They are not trained to be manual workers. Knowledge and skills are what they need. It never matters if they always leave their rooms in a mess. Their parents never fail to clean up and pick up after them. Nor does it matter if the school kids can never carry a bag of flour or something like that. Leave it to those less educated. Nor does it matter if the kids never wash their clothes. Leave it to the laundry. In a word, it does not matter if the kids can not and will not do any chores and manual work. As long as they set their minds to their lessons, everything else will take care of themselves.

[阅读材料]
There is a real joke．When some guys were talking heatedly about “F4”in the living room, the father came in and interrupted: “Which is more powerful, F-4 or F-16?” The boys burst into laughter．Obviously, the father took F4 for a type of fighter plane．He didn’t know that F4 is a pop group extremely popular among young people these two years．
Then what does the “F” in F4 stand for? Fever or fortune? It is certainly not “failure” for sure! We look at the success and appeal of these 4 stars from the popular drama Meteor Garden 《流星花园》，who took the island by storm during their brief visit here．For sure, they look good．Each of them being 1．80 meters tall, they are all very popular throughout the world．
But what exactly is the appeal of these 4 young guys? Nobody can tell．Maybe some of young students are just following the fashion．Then why is Meteor Garden stopped from being shown on TV in China? Well, some young people just could not agree．In fact, students are not too young to tell black from white．And they must be clear that every coin has two sides．While they find interest in F4, they must be clear what bad that drama will do us．
