A larger and larger part of society is
expressing its concern about environmental
protection. Active
in their concern, teachers
and students hold specific meetings to discuss
environmental protection.
Also, city planners
take environmental problems into serious
consideration. And, though reducing
pollution
can be expensive, factories often take every
possible measure to do their part. Many
people
are concerned and active because air and water
pollution affects everyone and makes it
difficult for cities to survive and businesses
to make a profit.

Computers, just like any new technology, have
a negative side. As more and more computers are
used in production lines, many jobs are being
taken over by computer-controlled machines. As a
result, many workers are finding themselves
jobless. This constitutes a threat to social
security.
Another problem is computer crimes.
For example, some people are finding ways to break
into the
bank computer systems and transfer
large sums of money to their own accounts. There
have been
many reports like this. One more
negative effect of computers is that they bring
about health
problems. Sitting in front of
computers all day undoubtedly affects people’s
health. Back pain,
wrist pain, failing
eyesight, to name only a few.

Many people place so much emphasis on
success that they think any failure is bad.
Failure is
never pleasant because it hurts
people. But in fact it can make positive
contribution to our life
once we learn
how to make the best of it. We can learn from a
disastrous party how to give a good
one. And
we can learn from an ill-chosen first house what
to look for in a second. Even a total
failure
can give us fresh ideas or a change of direction.
Repeated failures lead to success and prove
to
be beneficial to us as we experiment every day to
find out the right way of doing things.

There are many problems for mixed marriages.
The number one reason is the cultural differences
between the mixed couple, like those in
customs and lifestyle. Many people have prejudice
against
mixed marriages. They often feel
shocked to see people of different races get
married and have
doubts about such marriages.
What’s more, children from mixed marriages tend to
be looked
down upon or even badly treated by
their peers. Mixed marriages face many trials, and
as a result,
mixed couples have higher divorce
rates than couples of the same race.

Some people think that books are the
main source of himan knowledge, summaries of what
people
have acquired in their struggle with
nature and society. Moreover, with the rapid
development of
modern society, book knowledge
is updated from time to time. For these people,
books are
everything.
However, book
knowledge is not everything! Books can never cover
all the things and happenings
in the world.
Book knowledge is only a recording of what has
been discovered. There are many
mysteries
unsolved and we can find no answers from books up
to now. So if one does not try to
learn
something beyond books, it will be difficult for
one to cope with some practical problems.
We
should develop our ability through practice and
observing the world. It is not practical to rely
on books only.
