because people value time highly and they resent

appropriate point.

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.
