1、精选优质文档-倾情为你奉上Topic 34 Watching TV or Reading Books, Which Brings Us More Benefits?Since the invention of television, more and more people have fallen back on TV for information and entertainment instead of reading books. We can not deny the fact that TV does have its advantages with its audio-visual

2、 effects. But personally speaking, I believe that reading books is more beneficial than watching TV.To begin with, reading is an active process while watching TV is a passive one. When reading a book, the reader has freedom in controlling the speed and pace, but as far as TV programs are concerned,

3、this is barely possible. Moreover, reading fiction sets free the readers imagination and makes him actively participate and anticipate what is happening and what will happen next, while watching TV, for the most part, makes people passive receivers of what is given in the programs, let alone the fre

4、quent interruptions by the commercials that attempt to sell unneeded products every 5 minutes. Furthermore,reading is more a learning processthan an entertaining one. Through reading books, people improve their literacy and acquire skills. Watching TV often gives nothing but an entertaining story. F

5、rom all the points mentioned above, clearly I am a true believer in the enormous value of reading and sincerely hope people, especially the children, become avid readers rather than devoted TV viewers. Topic 33 Fighting against Our Own WeaknessesIt is well acknowledged that ones greatest enemy is ac

6、tually oneself. One can never deny the fact that we all suffer from such human weaknesses as idleness, moodiness, jealousy and vanity to some extent. It follows that we are obliged to fight against those weaknesses of ours if we are to accomplish something in our life. I believe the first weakness f

7、or us to conquer is laziness. Idleness is the root of all evils. A lazy person could never expect to accomplish anything. On the contrary, hard work is essential for anyone to achieve their goals. Secondly, we should work on our moodiness. More than the elderly, we suffer from bad mood now and then.

8、 Such negative state of mind will affect our interpersonal relationship. And a good interpersonal relationship constitutes a key factor to success. Remind yourself of what you have in life and be grateful for that. Do regular exercises. Find something interesting to do. These will help cheer you up

9、and create a positive attitude toward life, which will certainly lead to a better you. Moreover, it is very important for us to fight against jealousy and vanity. No one can be free from jealousy and vanity. On the one hand, we feel sorry when other people are doing better than we do. On the other h

10、and, we envy other people for they have achieved what we havent. Getting rid of these weaknesses is definitely a great step forward toward self-improvement and future accomplishments. To sum up, we are obliged to fight and conquer such weaknesses as laziness, moodiness, jealousy and vanity before we

11、 could achieve our goals in our life. 窗体顶端窗体底端Topic 32 Buying or Borrowing Books?As we all know, books are close friends of humanity. Its beyond question that books can enrich our mind, enlighten our spirits, and enhance our life. However, as to borrowing or buying books, people hold different opini

12、ons. Some prefer buying, while some speak highly of borrowing. I think it would be more reasonable to take the view that we need both buying and borrowing.As the famous philosopher Bacon said, “Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed and some few to be chewed and digested.”, books are of

13、 different kinds. So are our ways of getting them. For the books to be tasted and swallowed, such as novels for leisure and stories for fun, I prefer to borrow them. Borrowing them can not only save our money, but more importantly, save us huge amounts of time and improve our reading efficiency, bec

14、ause books borrowed normally have a deadline to force us into finishing them in a limited time. However, for the books to be chewed and digested, such as classical literary works and textbooks, Id like to buy them. Compared with borrowing books, buying them can offer us more freedom. We can keep the

15、 books as long as we wish, and moreover take whatever notes on the margin of the pages.In short, whether to buy or to borrow books depends on what kind of book it is. The most important thing is not how we get them, but how we discover the pleasure through reading. Topic 31 Optimism Helps to Increas

16、e Your HopeModern life can be sometimes very stressful. One may get overwhelmed by whats going on. There is a feeling of helplessness and the worlds spinning out of control. Its easy to lose hope. Actually hope is something we create with an optimistic state of mind.Optimism helps to increase hope f

17、or several reasons. To begin with, hope is not something that magically appears from an outside source. We each have within us the capacity to generate hope. This capacity is closely related to optimism. Optimism helps overcome fear and in turn, allows us to hold on to hope. No matter what we do or

18、whats done to us, it is always constructive to adopt an optimistic attitude. As the saying goes, smile and the world smiles with you, weep and you weep alone. Furthermore, it is true that life may have its ups and downs. Its easy to lose hope sometimes. If you let yourself down, the situation could

19、only go from bad to worse. But so long as you have an optimistic state of mind, you can have everything under control and therefore be more hopeful. Last but not least, God help those who help themselves. Optimism itself is like God in the depth of our soul. It invites help from people around you, w

20、hich will eventually increase hope. In short, optimism is a positive attitude toward life, and it helps to increase hope. Topic 30 The Best Way to Reduce StressStress is hard to escape in todays fast-paced world. It has become a big challenge because our lives are getting faster and we havent learne

21、d how to cope with it, and because the sources of stress are many. Since there is no cure-all for us to deal with stresses and strains of our daily life, every one of us is trying in our own ways to reduce stress. As for me, the best way to reduce stress is exercise.Firstly, according to medical res

22、earch, when we exercise, our brains release certain chemical substances which bring feelings of happiness and relaxation. Secondly, physical exercise benefits both our mind and our body. While stress is mental, the symptoms of stress are mostly physical, such as skin problems, high blood pressure, f

23、atigue, insomnia and frustration, etc. Physical exercise not only helps us reduce stress, but also keeps us fit. Consequently, a fit person is most probably a happy one. Last but not least, physical exercise in this case doesnt consume too much time. Physical exercise for the purpose of reducing str

24、ess shouldnt be too violent and fierce. We can engage ourselves in some regular exercise such as walking, jogging, dancing or swimming on a daily basis.There are many helpful ways to reduce stress and, as I mentioned above, none of them is panacea for all. We should find our own ways and incorporate

25、 them in our daily life routine to prevent stress and reduce its effect on the body. For me, its a 30-munite jogging every day. Topic 29 Can Wealth Bring Happiness?Wealth and happiness always have countless ties. On the one hand, wealth can satisfy our material desires and therefore sometimes meet o

26、ur spiritual needs. On the other hand, wealth can also bury our heads in the sand and bring misfortune to us at times. Its really hard to answer the age-old question “Can wealth bring happiness?” In my point of view, I dont agree that wealth can bring happiness. I conceive of the two as not absolute

27、ly related. Happiness is not something that can be measured by wealth, but by the state of mind. For one thing, we all know that the worlds wealth has soared during the twentieth century, and economists expect it to continue rising in the decades ahead. Does that mean that we humans are happier than

28、 our ancestors? Im afraid the answer must be “no” or “it depends”. Whether we are happy or not is determined by our state of mind. Wealth can buy us some material things but cannot free us from sadness or worries. For another, wealth can not bring happiness, neither can poverty. Its a mistake to ass

29、ume that wealth will affect everyone in the same way. Being rich or poor, people make choices about how they treat wealth, and those choices can boost happiness or undermine happiness. All in all, the amount of wealth doesnt represent the degree of happiness. Happiness cant be weighed by wealth. It

30、has no absolute relation to wealth, but as a kind of feeling in our hearts it only rests with our own mind. Topic 28 The Importance of Self-confidenceFrom the quiet confident doctor whose advice we rely on, to the star-quality confidence of an inspiring speaker, self-confident people have qualities

31、that everyone admires. Self-confidence is extremely important in almost every aspect of our lives. First, it is impossible to do anything for real if youre not self-confident. Most people are reluctant to back a project which is being taken by someone who is nervous, unsure and overly apologetic. On

32、 the other hand, people might be persuaded by someone who speaks clearly, who holds his or her head high, and who answers questions assuredly. In todays world, self-confidence is a basis for our survival, both at work and at home. Self-confidence brings acceptance, love, peace and energy. And all of

33、 these in turn make our confidence grow even more.Second, self-confident people inspire confidence in others: their audience, their peers, their bosses, their customers, and their friends. Oftentimes even a single self-confident person can change the attitudes of all the people in a room. Sometimes

34、it seems as if the world itself decided to help such a man. A confident person attracts friendship and respect. Spreading confidence to others is one of the key ways in which a self-confident person finds success. All other things being equal, self-confidence is so important that it is often the sin

35、gle ingredient that distinguishes a successful person from those who are less successful. Whether you are working on your own self-confidence or building the confidence of people around you, its wellworth the effort! 窗体顶端窗体底端Topic 27 Human Communication Face-to-Face Is Better?The issue whether face-

36、to-face communication is better than any other communication means is quite controversial. While modern ways of communication such as telephone calls or email can be fast and convenient, fact-to-face communication has its own advantages. Personally speaking, I dont think face-to-face communication i

37、s better than any other ways of communication.First of all, face-to-face communication is usually effective because people meet and see each other, apart from the information exchanged verbally, things like their facial expressions and body movements also help them understand each other, and so ther

38、e is the least chance for a misunderstanding to occur. But we have to admit that this way of communication is overwhelmingly restricted by time and space, since quite often we will have to communicate with people who are far away or tied up at the moment. On the other hand, telephone calls, email, o

39、r text message under such circumstances become efficient means of communication. We can call people if they are far away, and we can email them if they are tied up for the time being. Furthermore, making telephone calls is also a way of immediate communication except that we cant see the person. Now

40、adays there are also various real-time chat tools through the Internet available. Video and audio online communication can function equally like face-to-face communication.In a nutshell, I dont think face-to-face communication is better than any other communication means in the fast-paced world. Wit

41、h the fast development of science and technology, I am positive that there will be more efficient and effective ways of communication in the future. Topic 26 Mass Media and the Intrusion of PrivacyIn recent years, due to the growth of mass media and technological innovations, people seem to have les

42、s and less privacy. The case is worse for famous people such as public figures and celebrities. The mass media is frequently criticized for their excessive attention to the personal lives of famous people. As far as I am concerned, what the mass media does is nothing but an intrusion of privacy.Firs

43、t of all, every citizen is entitled to a private life free from media intrusion, and celebrities and public figures are no exception. If a person is engaged in corruption, law-breaking, abuse of power or hypocrisy, the media has a right to uncover them, but not an individuals private life. Furthermo

44、re, an individual is protected by Right of Privacy from emotional harm such as embarrassment and humiliation, especially publicly. For most of the time, mass media deliberately hunts for novelty in order to draw the publics attention. Moreover, when the privacy of a celebrity is exposed, it is not j

45、ust he or she who is harmed; many other people are dragged in. A harmonious family can be destroyed. If children are involved, the harm is immeasurable.All in all, most of us need a basic human right to lead our lives without harassment or hindrance from anyone else. It is not only immoral, but also

46、 illegal to intrude an individuals seclusion or solitude, physically or mentally. Topic 25 Is a Live Performance Always More Entertaining?It is quite a controversial issue whether attending a live performance is more entertaining and enjoyable than watching the same event on TV. There are a lot of i

47、ndividual factors involved since each of us has different traits in personality. As far as I am concerned, attending a live performance isnt always more entertaining.First of all, while we cant deny that a live performance is more exciting for most of the time, there are other factors that can make

48、the exciting occasion less entertaining. For example, we have to pay very high prices for tickets, and the weather can be very bad, especially for an event like a football match. Moreover, the crowd can get so crazy under the influence of the atmosphere at the scene that peoples lives are endangered

49、. It can turn out to be a disaster rather than an entertainment. Conversely, watching TV can prevent all these things listed above from happening. We dont have to pay any money for tickets, and we can sit on the sofa drinking coffee or tea, and enjoy the performance comfortably and peacefully. This is e
