Can money buy happiness? Dif

43、ferent people have different opinions. Some think yes, while others hold the opposite. It is true that with enough money one can buy all the things one wants, and live a life of comfort and security. However, it is equally true that lack of money causes great distress. It is a common view that“money

44、 is the root of all evil.The pursuit of money drives many people to cheat and steal. In some places there is nothing that cannot be bought with money, resulting in corrupt societies where everybody is miserable. So, money does not necessarily mean happiness. It all depends on how it is used. If we m

46、許多人去騙去偷。在某些地方，沒(méi)有錢(qián)買(mǎi)不到的東西，導(dǎo)致社會(huì)的腐化墮落。 所以，金錢(qián)并不一定就意味著幸福。這取決于怎樣使用金錢(qián)，如果我們誠(chéng)信明智地使用金錢(qián)，它將是幸福的基石。盡管金錢(qián)買(mǎi)不到幸福，但它可以使幸福成為可能。No Breakfast, No Good Now a lot of students go to school in a hurry so that they have no time to have breakfast.

51、re unhealthy and violent, and so on.Therefore, computer games arcades should be banned from cities and towns.電子游戲打電子游戲花費(fèi)青少年太多的時(shí)間，所以我認(rèn)為電子游戲應(yīng)該被取締。它們只是浪費(fèi)金錢(qián)、時(shí)間和精力。十幾歲的青少年應(yīng)該做像讀書(shū)、學(xué)習(xí)、聽(tīng)音樂(lè)會(huì)、去博物館等重要的事情。電子游戲?qū)η嗌倌甑纳硇慕】刀加胁涣嫉挠绊?。電子游戲室光線黑暗，吵鬧，游戲內(nèi)容不健康、充滿暴力等等。因此，電子游戲廳應(yīng)該從城鎮(zhèn)被取締。Getting up Early is a Good Habit Getting u

56、resent-day world. Land resources are dwindling because of water loss and soil erosion. Waste gases poison the airwe breathe. The rivers and lakes are polluted by waste dumped in themfrom factories. It is probably no exaggeration to say that deterioration of the quality of the environment threatens t

57、he existence of mankind itself.Some people are of the opinion that the environmental problem is the price we have to pay for economic development. But I do not think that this argument is valid. After all, what is the point of economic growth if peoples lives are adversely alfected by worsening envi

58、ronmental pollution?There is plenty of evidence to show that sustainable development can be achieved by balancing economic growth with protection of the environment. The key to achieving this is to make people aware of the seriousness of the problem.
