Parents, because they have a better understanding of the dangers in society, criticize their younsters’ behavior and are reluctant to let them have their own way. At the same time, children regrad their parents as oldfashioned and ignorant of the modern world. To dispel such misunderstanding, I reckon that parents should realize that their their children do not need constant protection so much as help to stand on their own feet as independent young people. Meanwhile, children should recognize that their parents have a wealth of experience, and appreciate their advice and assistance. (165) 3. Today more and more advertisements are appearing on the TV screen. They are not only shown before and after all kind of programs—— news, weather forecasts, quiz shows, and so on—— but even interrupt dramas and movies, and annoy the viewers. The factors for this phenomenon are that, to begin with, TV is most efficient and rapid way of disseminating information. As China develops its highly petitive market economy, manufactures and sales people need to inform the general public of the latest modities that are available. Furthermore, TV stations use the money that they earn from showing the advertisements to produce more programs. Last but not least, it is necessary to keep consumers informed of the range of products that they may choose from. 愛上你視頻網(wǎng)： 天天好資料，免費下載 Accordingly, advertisements on TV serve three useful purposes. Nevertheless, the TV stations should avoid showing advertisements which are of poor quality and make sure that advertisements do not appear so frequently that they spoil the viewers’ enjoyment of his or her favourite programs.

Our joys are more pleasant when we have a friend to share them。 most of the people we share social occasions with are merely acquaintances. Real friendship involves sincerity, mutual trust and selfsacrifice, both in moments of happiness and on occasions of crisis. A true friend will not just tell us what we want to hear, but advise us to do what he or she assumes is really best for us in the long run. My principle in making friends is to ignore things like what work they do and what their social backgrounds are, but, instead, to observe carefully the little things that reveal their characters. Only in this way can I be sure that these friends will never let me down, and that we will always be ready to help each other no matter what problems crop up. (226) 5. Education plays a very important role in the modernization of our country. Without a welleducated population, China will not be able to achieve its planned economic growth, catch up with the developed nations technologically or improve the living standards of its people. Yet, according to recent statistics, there are over two million children in China who have dropped out of school because their parents are too poor to pay the fees. At the moment, the authority has too many things to do as it build up the economy, and cannot afford the money needed to get those children back to school. And so a nationwide drive is necessary to raise funds to rescue them from illiteracy and ignorance. That drive is called the “Project Hope”. The project is a timely response to the problem, and many children living in the povertystricken parts of China now have a more billiant future because of the generosity of the people who have donated money to it. Nevertheless, the “Project Hope” is only a temporary measure, and not a permanent solution. What is needed is a properly funded education system so that all children can be guaranteed an education which will equip them to play their roles to the full in the modernization of China. (211) 6. The desire for good health is universal. With the quickening pace of urban life and everincreasing pressure, people in mounting numbers are suffering either physical or mental problems. It is universally acknowledged that good health is the key to a happy life and a successful career. 愛上你視頻網(wǎng)： 天天好資料，免費下載 There are numerous ways of keeping fit. First and foremost, it is most effective to do physical exercises. People respectively choose jogging, playing basketball, swimming, skating, climbing or riding as their regular exercises in that exercises never fail to make us stronger and more energetic. Moreover, we should put geat emphasis on forming good habits. A balanced diet and sufficient sleep are both indispensable to physical fitness. More importantly, mental health should also be taken seriously. Especially in adversity, we need to maintain an optimistic mentality to pull through life’s pain and sorrow, twists and turns. As far as I am concerned, I have a peculiar interest in yoga exercise. An hour’s exercise every day usually makes me feel healthier and more vigorous. Besides, I never touch any cigarette or wine, neither do I stay up late. Instead, I keep a balanced diet and go to bed before 11 o’clock at night for I suppose buring the midnight oil is harmful to health. What is more, an optimistic attitude toward life makes me confident and persistent. To sum up, all these practices guarantee a fit health and a happy life. (236) 7. The majority of people would agree that cigarette smoking has caused serious problems. But the tobacco panies insist that they contribute greatly to the world economy by paying taxes to the government and employing hundreds of workers. Personally, I believe that cigarette production and consumption threatens to do more harm than good. Firstly, smoking is responsible for many fatal diseases such as lung cancer, heart diseases and so on. According to the survey, tobacco consumers account for about 20% of the world
