because people value time

society is expressing its concern
about
environmental protection. Active in their concern,

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.
