Can Money Buy Happiness?
Can
money
buy
happiness?
Various
people
have
various
answers.
Some
people
think
that money
is the source of happiness. With money, one can
buy whatever he enjoys.
With
money,
one
can
do
whatever
he
likes.
So,
in
their
minds,
money
can
bring
comfort,
security, and so on. Money, as they
think, is the source of happiness.
But
there
are
still
a
lot
of
others
who
think
that
money
is
the
root
of
all
evil.
Money
drives people to steal, to rob, and to break the
law. A lot of people became
criminals
just because they were in search of money. And in
the Western
countries,
there is
nothing that can’t be bought by money. Many people
lose their own lives
when hunting it.
I
think
that
money
is
essential
to
life
and
we
cannot
do
without
money.
But
even
though money
is
necessary
to
life,
it
can’t
buy
happiness.
Happiness
is
not
something
that
can
be
measured
by
money.
It
is
a
state
of
mind.
One
can
have
plenty
of money, with which he can buy
whatever he wants, and at the same time he is not
happy
because
he
is
never
satisfied
or
he
is
troubled
by
various
kinds
of
problems.
Therefore, although
money is necessary for a happy life, it can’t buy
happiness.

]The Two-day Weekend
The two- day weekend has brought a lot of benefits to college students. It not
only
offers
us
more
time
to
get
rid
of
tiredness
and
have
a
good
rest,
but
also
gives
us more chances to take up
some hobbies, such as fishing, reading, or
gardening.
From these activities we can
learn many things outside the classroom, which
will
add to our knowledge.
Despite the convenience it brings us, the two-day weekend has also given rise
to quite a few problems. The most
serious one is that the weekdays are filled with
more
lesson,
sometimes
too
many.
Because
our
classes
are
limited
to
Monday
through
Friday,
we
have
to
take
more
lessons
each
day
than
in
the
past.
This
leaves
us
little
time to catch our breath during the
weekdays.
In
order
to
benefit
most
from

two-day

I
have
decided

make

]Global Shortage of Fresh Water
Many people
believe
that the world’s supply of fresh
water will never be used
up.
They
think
that
fresh
water
comes
from
such
a
variety
of
sources
that
it
is
always
sufficient for
use. Such an opinion leads to a shocking waste of
water.
As a matter of fact, the earth is short of fresh water. Furthermore, with the
rapid growth of
the world’s population, the rising demand for
water by industry,
and the serious
pollution of our surroundings, the world is facing
the danger of
running out of fresh
water. Actually, in some big cities, fresh water
cannot meet
the daily needs.
Therefore, to find new ways to save water is an urgent task. First, we should
pass strict laws to control any
waste of water. Second, scientists must work even
harder
to
purify
sea
water
and
polluted
water,
and
try
to
find
substitutes
to
reduce
the use of fresh water. <

]Practice Makes Perfect
The

saying
“Practice

is
widely

today.
It
means
if we practice
unfamiliar things again and again, we’ll be able
to perform
it
perfectly.
The practice of learning English is a good example. We are not living in an
English speaking country.
So, in order to learn it well, we need extra
practice,
such as reading English
books, going to English corners, or communicating
with
foreigners. Only sitting at the
desk cannot lead to the mastery of English.
As
another
example,
if
we

to
be
skilled
in
using

we
also
need
to

Some

]Harmfulness of Fake Commodities
In recent years, a lot of fake commodities have appeared in the market. These
fake
commodities have done great harm to the consumers
and the society.
Since the policy of refor

lot of
people getting richer, and their living conditions
are getting better. But
still
some
of
them
are
not
satisfied.
They
dream
of
getting
rich
overnight
and
living
a heavenly life, which, of course, is
impossible to achieve by fair means. So they
risk breaking the law to produce the
market take commodities.
Once these fake commodities enter the market, they will do immeasurable harm
to the society. The direct victims are
the consumers. As the quality of the fake
commodities
is
always
very
poor,
the
consumers
may
suffer
great
losses.
Certain
fake
commodities, such as food
and medicine, will cause irreparable harm to the
health
and well-being of the
consumers. Fake commodities also
cut into the profits of
the
brand-
name-owners.
Since
the
fake
ones
are
cheaper,
people
tend
to
be
reluctant
to

when
asked

when
it
is
beyond

we

is
unreasonable
or even illegal, we should say “no”
without hesitation.
However,
it
is
not
the

life.
Many
people
prefer
to
say
“yes”
when they should say “no”. Some are
afraid to lose their face, since they think

Some
people
are

as their friends, relatives and so on.
In fact, doing so is quite harmful. If you agree to do the things beyond your
ability, the result will
only be worse. The other might as well have asked
another
person who can help. And if you
agree to do the unreasonable or even the illegal
favors,

you

]Reading Selectively Or Extensively?
Some people think when we read we should read selectively. That is to say, we
should select
some
books
we
are
interested
in
and
ignore
the
others.
Reading
selectively
can
help
us
concentrate
our
limited
time
and
attention
on
those
selected
books.
Others think we should read extensively. No matter what kind of book it is, we
should
look
it
over.
We
should
read
various
kinds
of
books,
whether
we
are
interested
in
them
or
not.
They
maintain
that
reading
extensively
can
help
to
enlarge
our
view
and grasp the
general knowledge in different fields.
In
my
opinion,
the
two
reading
ways
have
their
roles
respectively
in
our
reading.
However,
the
disadvantages
of
each
methods
are
easy
to
see.
If
we
only
read
the
books
we
select
or
prefer,
the
framework
of
our
knowledge
may
not
be
complete.
Our
knowledge
would be rather limited. And if we read
without selection, we may not have so much
time
and
energy
to
be
specialized
in
one
particular
field.
Therefore,
the
combination
of the
two methods is more reasonable.

]How I Finance My College Education
Several years ago new tuition fee policy was put into practice and college
students were asked to pay a certain
sum of money. And now, all the students, no
matter what subjects they are engaged
in, must pay for tuition.
There
are
many
ways
for
a
student
to
finance
his
college
education.
Most
students
ask
their
parents
to
pay
the
tuition
fee
and
pay
for
their
books,
accommodation
and
other cost.
A student
can also apply
for the scholarship. Most universities set up
scholarship to
offer money to the poor students who do well in
entrance exams and
reward those who do
well in entrance exams and reward those who work
well at
university.
A
student
can
also
apply
for
the
low-interest
loans.
In
addition
to
the
above,
taking
part-time
jobs
is
also
a
common
way
for
a
college
student
to
get
money
to pay part of
his tuition and fees.
So
far
as
I’m
concerned,
I’d
p
refer
earning
the
scholarship.
This
means
I
must
study
hard
and
be
a
top
student,
which
has
always
been
my
goal.
After
all,
the
task
of
a
student
is
to
study.
And
in
addition
to
solving
my
financial
problems,
getting
the scholarship can also
prove my ability and is good for my future.

]How to Succeed in a Job Interview?
Nowadays,
in
an
ever
tighter
job
market,
great
importance
has
been
attached
to
an interview by both the employer and
the applicant. The interview, so to speak,
has become indispensable for getting a
satisfactory job. On the one hand, the
interviewer
can
take
advantage
of
the
occasion
to
learn
about
the
candidates,
such
as
their
work
experiences,
education
and
their
personalities,
so
as
to
pick
out
the
right person for the
company. On the other hand, the interviewee can
make use of
the
opportunity
to
get
to
know
the
job
he
is
going
to
take
up,
the
salary,
the
working
conditions and many
other things about the job he is interested in.
Therefore,
the
job
interview
is
very
important
to
a
job- hunter.
But
how
can
one
succeed in it? Firstly of
all, the interviewee must pay attention to his or
her
appearance.
The
first
impression
is
always
where
we
start.
Get
dressed
properly
and
neatly. Se
condly, good manners are equally important. Don’t be too proud, and
neither
too
timid.
Just
be
courteous.
Thirdly,
the
interviewee
must
demonstrate
his
aptitude and skills for the job and his
knowledge about eh job-related areas. Be
confident. Last but not the least, the
interviewee ought to be honest about his or
her personal as well as academic
background, for honesty is the best policy.
To sum up, the job interview is indeed important, but there is no need to be
nervous. As long as the
interviewee has the ability for the job, with
careful
preparation and a fairly
confident and honest performance, his or her
success can
be ensured.

Dear Mr. President,
I’m very lucky to attend this world
-
famous university, but I’m afraid I’m
not content with the canteen
service on campus.
Firstly, the quality of the dishes should be improved. Undoubtedly, there are
a
lot
of
delicious
dishes,
but
all
the
year
round,
they
are
the
same.
More
and
more
students are complaining
about eating the same food each day. So I think
the most
urgent problem is variety.
Secondly,
the
price
is
a
bit
too
high.
Many
of
us
hope
that
the
canteen
can
provide
us with not only delicious but also
cheaper food.
Finally,
the
environment
is
so
noisy
that
we
can’t
enjoy
our
meals
in
good
mood.
I suggest that
there be some soft music to help us relax.
These suggestions are not just of my own, but also of may other students. We
hope our respectable
president will pay attention to our suggestions.
By
the
way,
the
canteen
workers
are
very
patient

always
smiling.
So
I

if

Obviously computers are becoming more and more popular. There are several
reasons

this.
First,
computers
facilitate
us
in
more
aspects
of
life.
Also,
the
fast development of the
Internet enlarges our demands for using computers.
We can
easily contact with friends in
remote places through the Internet. Besides, the
prices of computers are getting lower
and lower, which enables more students to
purchase them.
Along with the time spent on computers, there arise some problems. The most
serious
one
is
that
many
students
are
spending
so
much
time
playing
PC
games
so
that

Although honesty is believed to be a virtue, there are still dishonest people

Those who always tell truth or keep to their promise not only let others trust
them but gain respect from other people
as well. Such persons are sure to have a
lot
of
good
friends.
Because
they
are
trustable

Besides, it is easier for a person with a good

job.
Generally
speaking,
every
employer
wants
his
employees
to
be
honest.
So we can say
that anyone who is honest will be paid back later.
In a word, honesty wins trust, respect and honor. So it is important that we
should be honest.

]An Eye-Witness Account of a Traffic Accident
My
name
is
Liming.
I
am
studying
at
college.
A
week
ago
I
saw
a
traffic
accident
,
which is still vivid in my mind.
It was at about 9:00 on Saturday morning, June 15th, when I went out of the
university
to
visit
a
friend
of
mine
at
another
university.
I
was
walking
leisurely
on the sidewalk when I
heard a loud crash of two vehicles just at the
T-junction
about 10 meters away. Two
taxis crashed together. It was a traffic accident.
I went up and found that the two taxis were badly damaged. Both hoofs were out
of shape. One door of a car
was knocked off and lying on the road. One driver
was
blooding
and
another
was
shut
in
the
taxi.
Some
people
were
trying
to
help
the
driver
get out of the damaged
car. One man was calling to the traffic policeman
station.
A lot of cars were jammed on
the road.
From
the
stopping
track
on
the
road,
it
is
clear
that
the
two
taxis
were
driving
too fast. But it is just one of the
reasons. In my opinion, the taxi drivers are
eager
to
take
more
passengers
and
make
a
little
more
money.
On
the
other
hand,
both
drivers don’t show concern for one
another. Both of them wanted to run in front
of
another.
Therefore,
the
accident
is
inevitable.
So
far,
we
should
let
the
drivers
keep
it
in
their
mind
that
a
little
slower,
a
little
safer.
Taking
care
of
other’s
lives means taking care
of your own life.

During the SARS period in this spring, the year of 2003, one of my classmates,
Li ming, was struck down by the virus
and was immediately sent to hospital.
The news spread quickly on campus. At
first, we were
terrified and
wondered if
we were infected
too. However, through our government's publicity
on mass media,
