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.
