一、 Can Money Buy Happiness? （金钱能买来幸福）Money plays all important role ii1 our everyday life. It has been a favorite topic for discussion a mong ail kinds of people, young and old, men and women. With the establishment of the market economy and the development of society, more and more people are paying their attention to th e function of money. Some say that money is the source of happiness while others hold a negativ e attitude and regard money as the root of all evils.In my opinion, money can both benefit people and do harm to them. First, we can't deny that money is useful We need money to buy our daily necessities such as food, houses and clothing, et c. Generally speaking, more money can make us live more comfortably. Secondly, if we have more money, we can take part in more social activities. We can travel widely and have more experienc e. We can receive higher education, increase our knowledge and develop our skills. In addition, W e will have more ways to help others. All those can help us live an interesting and meaningful life. However, money can also do harm to us, especially when we have large amounts of it. If a pers on p[aces money prior to anything else, he will tend to lose the p[easure of his life. Since everythi ng means nothing to him except caring for more money, he will lose friends, or even the care and warmth from his family. If this happens, money on[y brings to him loneliness.So, I think we can't regard money simply as a good thing or a bad one. If we use it properly, it w ill benefit us a lot; otherwise, it will do harm to us or it can even ruin us二、The pure friendship between men and women does exist (男女之间存在纯友谊 ) When it comes to purity of human beings, we may think of friendship and love between men an d women. Love can be pure because thousands of facts have proved that men can keep pure love without wicked intentions with women. However, friendship is different, and how we do not let i t change into other relations is a difficult matter. Yet in my heart, I still believe that there is pure fr iendship between men and women.Purity mainly lies in mind and spirit, not just shows physically and physiologically, so attitude can decide anything. When both of the two heterosexual friends can be aware of this point and wantto be friends forever, they perhaps will try their best to keep this kind of pure relationship in min d for good. They can be friends by keeping in contact through telephone calls, by talking about th eir common interests, daily chores or problems, and also by telling whatever is funny or special. I n this case, they just regard the other as an intimate friend and there cannot be any other impure thoughts between each other. But once one of them has other intentions except becoming friend s and breaks the line, the friendship may be rejected by the other immediately. Therefore, we can see if people’s hearts tend to be pure, their attitudes will go onto a pure line in friendship.In addition, there is a kind of friendship called “confidantes” or “blue yan bosom friends”. The for mer refers to the males who have good female friends but not their wives; the latter is about the females who want male friends but not their husbands. The two friends both have their own love rs or marriage; however, in fact they are true friends. They just want to make their lives more col orful with all kinds of personal relationship so that when they are in different moods, they can re sort to any person in these relations to release their feelings or ask different advice. Thus, the pur e friendship between males and females can exist in this way.And what’s more, today in most women’s eyes, they prefer to believe there is pure friendship bet ween men and women. As we all know, men are born differently in mind and physiology from wo men. Men are usually more intellectual, more efficient, stronger, braver than women, so if female s make friends with males, girl students can get study help in difficult maths or physics problems f rom boy students, and women workers can do relatively less jobs when working with efficient ma le workers along, and they can also get immediate help from strong and brave men in an emergen cy.Thus, since there are so many benefits women can attain from their men friends, undoubtedly th ey are willing to make friends with the opposite-sex ones. Moreover, no matter how unwilling or wicked the male friends are, only if women themselves know how to keep the friendship and pro tect themselves can the pure relationship be held onto steadily without being broken easily.In conclusion, the pure friendship between men and women does exist on condition that they both have pure minds and treasure friendship in a part of their life, and women take charge of the fri endship. Therefore, the argument that no pure friendship is between men and women can be de nied definitely. We should change our mind and try to make opposite-sex friends as many as poss ible.三、Chinese Eating HabitsChinese eating culture is also famous around the world for its diversification.Although Chinese eating culture has a long history, people’s eating habits have hidden dangers. Problems exist in boththe traditional eating habits and the modern eating habits. Chinese traditional eating habits with high oil and high salt are the first to blame.Although many Chinese media have been trying to advocate healthy eating with low salt and low oil in the past few years, the traditional eating habits are still being passed down from generation to generation. High oil and high salt are two of the most deadly cancer "weapons". According to what we have learned in chemistry class, under a heated condition, salt can easily generate nitrite and other industrial toxin which can contribute to cancer. At the same time, a lot of kitchenlampblack is produced during cooking due to the high oil.YingqinGe, vice president of Gaoxiong Medical University in Taiwan, has engaged in lung cancer research for many years, said on Taiwan United Daily Newsthat it is proven that lampblack can cause lung cancer andthat about 50 percent of female lung adenocarcinoma is attributable to exposure to cook lampblack(Chen.) Thus, housewives are endangered during daily cooking. Besides the traditional eating habits, unhealthy eating structure is also a hidden problem. Most Chinese people’s eating structure is not healthy. According to a report “Nutrition and health condition of Chinese residents”by Chinese government, people’s diet structure is in .So, let’s change our bad eating habits and keep ourselves in healthy condition!四、Why I Come To UniversityAround our world, many high school students enter university after their high school. They oft en make their effort to though the “C ollege Entrance Examination”. And also a few foolish students suicide when they fail the exam .Why? For me, I think there are three reasons.When I was a little child entering university was my dream. Because I think it is a symbol of honor , dignity, intelligence and power.

In that time we just have little of free time to do what we really want. We can read in library, find a part-time job and can also find a girlfriend or a boyfriend and never been worried about being forbidden by parents and teachers. In addition, s o many parties will be held university. Our life is colorful.Last, the most important reason for me to come to university is enriching my brain.

As we know, music has a lot of functions.When we are in a bad mood or ill at ease, as long as we listen to a beautiful song, we will feel bet ter and relaxed. A musical context always makes us comfortable. By listening to music, we also ca n comprehend the philosophies which lie in the music.Music not only can change our moods, but also can treat some kinds of diseases, such as insomni a.

Some music even can promote us to release a certain amount of natural opium chemicals from our bodies. Besides, music also has a good effect on strengthening people’s memory. In a university, 60 girl students accepted an exami nation. It showed that the girls who received a musical training in their childhoods could rememb er 17% more reading materials than those who didn’t. Some experts also found that musicians’ le ft brains are bigger in size thanordinary people’s. As we know, our memory is charged by the left brain. That might be the reason why those who receive a musical training have a better memory. Thus, the patients who have im pairments in speaking may recover gradually by listening to or appreciating some music.In addition to these functions, music can promote children’s intelligence growth and extend peopl e’s lifetime, etc. In some countries, people made an interesting experiment. They played music be side vegetables and cows. As a result, the vegetables grew faster and the cows produced more mi lk. Why does music have so many magical functions?

Today, an information superhighway has been built—an electric net work that connects libraries, government agencies and individuals. This electric superhighway is called the Internet. The Internet develops so fast that we slip into an information age even without any preparation. From then on, we get information from allkinds of websites, we chat with relatives by online chatting tools such as MSN and QQ, we meet friends by online video, and we send message by E-mail: all we do just take us a while—anytime we like, and we don’t have to go somewhere, just sit in front of the monitor. We reall y feel: easy, easy, and easy again. The Internet influences human beings in all sides. Any kind of modern industry can not develop without the Internet. Education: It is easy for students to get course information through the Internet, not having to sit in the classroom everyday. Online learning makes learning available for everyone, even those who has already left school and worked for years. Farming: The little cost of the information on the Internet helps farmers to know clearly about the marketing and the demand of their products. In addition, the Internet gives farmers information about technology, weather, policy, and management, which is prompt, economical, accurate and comprehensive. The Internet helps farmer decide what kind of provision they should cultivate and how much they should cultivate in order not to waste. Military: In military field, it is not the troops and weapons only that dominate the battles. Getting, handling and application of the military information are essential. As the superhighway of information transmission, the Internet is the dominator of futural battlefield. Aerospace Technology: It is not a joke that wherever you are, I can find your accurate location. American GPS, Russian GLONASS, Chinese CNSS—they are like the eyes tailing after you and detecting your accurate location, and then the Internet will store the information. When we get lost, we can use the Internet inside our cellophane to find the right orientation.I can not cite all the advantages the Internet gives us, since the Internet has been part of our lives. However, we get temptation from the Internet. Will Baker—an essayist in Vermont of the United States, wrote an essay named Alienation and the Internet. In his essay, he claimed that “the Internet may be r esponsible for furthering the fragmentation of society by alienating its individuals”. He cited two examples. The first was about his friend. His friend was addicted to the Internet. Even he ever forced himself to go off-line, but he failed. “He said that he felt like an alcoholic, in that moderate use of the Internet was just not possible for him”, wrote the author.The second example was about his nephew. One day he and his wife invited their extended family to their home to celebrate their daughter’s bir thday. During the celebration, his young nephew spent the entire time on his computer playing a simulated war game. What struck the author was that “in generations past, my nephew would have been outside playing with his friends, but now the little fellow goes online to play his games against his friends in cyberspace. What magic the Internet has! “It is even now standard practice for a young mother to keep the children quiet by putting them in the study and allowing them to do whatever they want on the In ternet”, an author wrote in her article. With the spread of the Internet, more and more heated topics such as “Should college student dormitories have the Internet?” or “Should cyber manhunt be popular?”are controversial. Apart from the help of learning, what students in dormitory need the Internet to offer? The access to relax. College students need relaxation from the Internet as well. Movies, music, online games, BBS—they are indispensible for students to use as the way to relax after school. The first and worst negative influence is that they will affect the study of students. It is not fresh that there are top students addicted to the Internet and drop out of school finally. They see Hollywood movies till midnight, they play online games without eating and drinking for days, they debate in the BBS intensely day and night—which may ever happen to us. It is the Internet that changes our daily routine. We don’t only play basketball or read classics after school or work; it seems to be our obligation to turn on the computer and see how the world is developing everyday. Cyber manhunt occurs with the popularity of the Internet. It is a special search engine which uses participation of the Internet users to provide, filter and finally find the requested information. With the united efforts of the netizens, many social evilsare exposed to the public. However, overly digging out of personal information would seriously disturb others’ lives or even infringe upon people’s privacy. People have a strong sense of curiosity, they sometimes pursue the gossip while ignore the consequence of their behavior. It may result in that plenty of confidential information is even available on the Internet. It is theInternet that makes someone both honored and cursed by the public. While we thank the Internet for making our lives easy and colorful, making our nation develop fast, and making our imagination abundant, we also need to realize that we are tempted by the King Internet. We can not go back to the original lives, but we can improve our “online lives” by self-discipline. Maybe only when we spend a holiday by the sea or in the mountains do we discover how beautiful the real word is. Though the Internet changes our lives from all sides, the key to realizing the potential of the Internet is in achieving balance in our lives. After all, the Internet should exist for improving human’s lives.八、People on the holiday’s point of view are changing人们在节日的观点正在改变With the changes of the times and the world of the culture communication, people on the holiday’s point of view are changing. More and more people in the holidays no longer stay in the home, but got out travel, or even to travel abroad. Holidays become special days that people go out to understand the world.For the people’s ideas about holidays have changed,I think there are some following reasons. First of all, due to the rapid economic development and the improvement of people's living standards, people have more money for enjoyment, people rich, they will want to get out of the house, or even go out of the country to travel around the world, understand the off-site style. Second, with the accelerated pace of life, people have more and more pressure in the work, people need holidays to go out and breathe the fresh air, relax, reduce work pressure. Last, the urban people living in the reinforced concrete jungle for a long time, rarely go out to touch the true nature, the holidays will become a great opportunity forthe urban people to get close to nature.Thus, as people's income increasing, more and more people in the future will choose to go out to travel. At the same time, as a result of modern science and technology in vehicle development, make it possible to encourage more and more people to global travel.。
