The famous saying“The greatest use of life is to spend it for somethi ng that will outlast it”is rather thought-provoking and tells us the real meaning of life.

In my view, there are good reasons to undertake meaningful things thatexert positive and profound influence on the society, such as protecting the environment, helping vulnerable groups as well as promoting education. To illustrate, Nelson Mandela never wavered in his fight against apartheid and for a new South Africa.His life is an inspiration to everyone in South Africa and throughout the world.Though limited, his life is worth living, and its influence definitely lasts longer than itself.Likewise, a young person who aspires to be a great writer choose to spend all his free time on reading literary works or refining his own writings.Without aspirations, he may simply end up spending all his spare time surfing online or playing Internet games.

In brief, a meaningful life serves to motivate and guide us in our daily lives. It provides us with the focus and direction that enable us to work towards a special goal.

参考译文：

“将生命用在比生命更长久的事上就是尽用生命”，这句说法相当发人深省，它告诫我们人生的真正意义。

在我看来，我们应该从事对社会产生积极深远影响的、有意义的事情，比如保护环境、帮助弱势群体及促进教育。例如，纳尔逊·曼德拉矢志不渝地反抗种族隔离制度，为建立新南非而奋斗。他的人生对南非乃至全世界都是一种鼓舞。尽管生命有限，但他不虚此生，其影响无疑在他死后长久延续。同样，一个渴望成为伟大作家的人，会选择将业余时间都用在阅读一些文学作品，或润色自己的作品上。如果没有志向的话，他也许只会将所有的闲暇时间用于上网或玩网络游戏。

总之，有意义的人生在日常生活中给予我们激励和指导。它为我们提供了专注焦点和方向指引，使我们能够通过努力实现特定目标。

Directions：For this part you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay on happiness by referring to the saying“Happiness is not the absence of problems, but the ability to deal with them.”You can cite examples to illustrate your point and then explain how you can develop your ability to deal with problems and be happy. You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.

必背范文：

There goes a wise saying，“Happiness is not the absence of problems, but the ability to deal with them.”I couldn't agree more with it, for problem-solving ability, instead of favorable circumstances, is the key to happiness.

There is little correlation between favorable circumstances and happiness. The absence of problems, which is actually impossible in our lives as long as we have got something to pursue, is beyond doubt a lucky circumstance for one to notch up success and find happiness.But in the meantime, it also means that one encounters no challenge and thus achieves little happiness, for the bigger a challenge, the greater happinessovercoming it.Deep happiness only comes after you have overcome difficult problems.For instance, people who stop at the foot of a mountain can never experience the happiness of those who conquer the mountain top.

Happiness is only a by-product of success in dealing with problems. We should bear in mind that problems are never absent and what we can do is to develop our ability to solve them.The higher our ability to combat problems, the greater happiness we are likely to experience.

参考译文：

有句话说得好：“幸福并非是没有问题，而在于解决问题的能力。”我对此十分赞同，因为获得幸福的关键在于解决问题的能力，而非有利的环境条件。

有利的环境条件和幸福之间没有什么关系。“没有问题”无疑是取得成功、获得幸福的一个幸运条件，但这在我们生活中基本是不可能的，只要我们还有所追求。与此同时，“没有问题”也意味着没有挑战，因此获得不了什么幸福，因为挑战越大，克服挑战所获得的幸福感就越大。只有克服难题之后，才会获得强烈的幸福感。例如，止步于山脚的人永远也体会不到征服山顶者的幸福。

幸福只是成功解决问题的副产品。我们应该牢记，问题无时不在，我们所能做的就是培养自己解决问题的能力。我们解决问题的能力越高，就越有可能体验到更大的幸福。
