【正文】 the purpose of others is for seeking the impetus(推動力 ) of study. Anyhow, far away from home and alone, seeking friendship, understanding and love, the boys and girls easily find fort and appreciation from one another. As a mater of fact, love is a sharp doublebladed(有刀刃的 ) knife. Having it will make you very happy。 1 Temptation(引誘 ) Temptation is a force usually attracting people to do immoral(不道德的 )things. No one escapes its spell. Many people have failed because they have bee slaves to temptation. Money is a typical tool of temptation. Some youngsters go astray(迷路 ) beyond cure because of various kinds of temptation. Shot by the bullets coated(上膠的 ) by “sugar”, some officials are unable to extricate (使擺脫 )from abusing their power for personal gain. We have learned that some people betrayed their country because they have been bribed(行賄 )by their enemies. Although their duty was to serve their country, the vast amount of money offered by the enemies made their palms itchy. They couldn’t resist the temptation to bee rich at once instead of struggling for a lifetime to earn only a little. At last they did some bad things, damaging the interests of their country. However, the character of a man is, as a rule, determined in his childhood. At that time, his parents, as well as his teachers, must inform them of the dagger of temptation. Laziness As everyone knows , laziness is a sin(罪孽 ). We have probably all had lectures pointing out that laziness is immoral and wasteful, and that lazy people will never amount to anything in life. But some people who appear to be lazy are suffering from much more serious problems. They may be so distrustful(不信任的 ) of their fellow workers that they are unable to join in any group task for fear of ridicule(嘲笑 ) or fear of having their ideas stolen. These people who seem lazy may be paralyzed(使麻痹 )by a fear of failure that prevents fruitful(富有成效的 )work. Or other sorts of fantasies(幻想 ) may prevent work. Some people are so busy planning, sometimes planning great deals of fantastic achievement, that they are unable to deal with whatever “l(fā)esser” work on hand. Nevertheless, laziness can actually be helpful to procrastinators(延遲 ). Some people may look lazy when they are really thinking, planning, contemplating(冥思苦想 ), or researching. We should all remember that some great scientific discoveries occurred by chance or while someone were thinking deeply. So be careful when you’re tempted to call someone lazy. That person may be thinking or planning his or her next work. Rumor(謠言 ) Rumor is the most primitive(原始的 ) way of spreading stories—by passing them on from mouth to mouth. But civilized(文明的 ) countries in normal times have better sources of news than rumor. They have radio, television, and newspaper. In times of stress and confusion, however, rumor emerges and bees widespread. Rumors spread especially rapidly during wars when the customary news sources no longer give out enough information. Since the people cannot learn through legitimate(合法的 ) channels, rumor thrives(繁榮 ). Ever those who do not believe them often repeat rumors. There is a fascination(魅力 ) about them. The reason is that the cleverly designed(設(shè)計好的 ) rumor gives expression to something deep in the hearts of the victims(犧牲者 ). Pessimistic(悲觀的 ) rumors about defeat and disasters show that the people who repeat them are worried and anxious. Optimistic rumors about production 2 record or peace bring about confidenceand often overconfidence. EMOTION Showing feelings What makes life worth living? There are many possible answers to this question such as “good health”,”a fortable home”, “plenty of friends” or”long holidays”. But these things would not make life worth living, unless we were able to enjoy them. Whether or not we can enjoy these things depends on the emotions. Emotion is the word we use to describe feelings such as love, hatred(仇恨 ),joy, sorrow(悲痛 ), fear, anger, hope, gloom(憂郁的心情 ), etc. These feelings play an important part in our lives: they not only influence our happiness but also affect our health. Any strong emotion produces certain changes inside the body. For example, when a person is frightened or angry, his heart beats faster and the activity of his stomach stops. If he is frequently frightened or angry these changes will be taking place all the time. If this goes on for long, his health will be affected. He will begin to suffer from tiredness, stomach trouble, sleeplessness and loss of weight. These changes are sometime described as “suffering from his nerves”. Actually, it is not his nerves that are responsible for his suffering, but his emotion. People often speak of the need of control emotions. And intelligent man will constantly monitor（ 監(jiān)視 ） his emotions. It is true that emotions can surge(洶涌 ) up so quickly that you may do something on the spur of the moment you will regret later. One thing you can do when you have a strong feeling whether it is a good one or a bad one is to try to determine what caused it. If it is a bad feeling, then you will know to keep away from situation like that in the future. If it is a good feeling, then you will know what will give you more good feeling. Another way to control your emotions is to tall about how you feel with other people. If you can say why you feel bad, then you will be halfway to getting a grip(控制 ) on that feeling. It will be as though the thinking part of the brain is helping the feeling part of your brain slow down a little. Some emotions are better avoided pletely. The cold, sinister(惡意的 ), snakelike emotions of hate and jealousy(妒忌 ) should always be contained(泰然自若的 ) as soon as they begin to tempt(引誘 ) a person. Jealousy and hate make a person mentally small and stupid. They should not be shown and they should be extinguished(熄滅 ). L
