47、hment. Some are in favor of th e enforcement of capital punishment. Others insist that death penalty should be abolished. For my part, I think death penalty is necessary so far. Firstly, capital punishment is the only effective way to deter criminals. In modern society, we are usually horrified at s

48、ome reports about some cruel murde ring. In places where laws for murderers are lenient, the number of criminals is increasing, and people are living in great horror. Some criminals broke into ho uses and killed people in order to rob them of money. On the contrary, in places where criminals are pun

49、ished severely, crimes are greatly reduced. So, death pe nalty is a major deterrent. Would be murderers would give up their attempt to k i ll others when thinking of the severest punishment. Secondly, capital punishment All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. ,. is a way to protect people, espec

Thirdly, murderers must be made to see the errors of their ways, and the only way of doing this is to kill them. It is also a way to compensate for the victim s. An eye fo

51、r an eye and a tooth for a tooth is the very basis of justice. T o be lenient to murderers is almost the same as encouraging or protecting them. Besides, capital punishment seems more humane than life imprisonment. To sum up, it seems to me that capital punishment can ensure us to walk ar ound or st

Air pollution is one of the major problems of the modern world. It involves

536、 the release of gases and fine particles into the atmosphere at rates that exceed the capacity of the atmosphere to dissipate them or to dispose of them. Air polluti on results from a variety of causes. A great deal of energy is needed to run fac tories of modern industrial countries. Vehicles like

A lot of harmful smoke and fine chemicals are released into the air every day. Some of the wastes remain in the air, causing air pollution. The dirty air covers most part

538、s of the world. I think there are some ways to solve this problem. First of all, people should b e made to realize the harmful effects of air pollution. Secondly, new ways of ge nerating electricity and heat supplying systems should be found to replace coal burning or oil burning method. People shou
