26、ption, or using state funds for private purposes. Cheating on exams seems like a minor mistake, but it can reflect the poor moral character and the low degree of self-respect of the students who cheat. Punishing them severely can help them see that cheating gets them nowhere in life. They need to le

27、arn the value of hard work and should give up their fantasy of cheating in their later life. If there is no strict punishment to the behavior of cheating, it will be extremely unfair to other students who have made great efforts for the examination. If a cheater can easily get away from punishment,

28、then others may follow suit. NO Putting students in jail because of cheating on national exams is irrational. Cheating on exams does not indicate that these students are criminals or they have caused damages to society. The risk-takers can be punished in other ways, for example, retaking the exam, s

29、uspension, receiving moral education, and so on. Ending up in prison, however, is too cruel and will cause irreversible damage to the students whole life.

33、sult in a loss of marks. YES Putting forward the filial piety standards is aimed to promote the traditional Chinese virtue of respecting the elderly. China has a long history of stressing filial piety, which forms the core of family values. Compared with the traditional filial devotion, the new stan

34、dards are more up to date and relevant to modern society. The new standards are an innovative way of inheriting the essence of filial culture. The modern society lays great stress on the legal regulation while filial piety which depends on peoples moral sense and inner discipline seems unable to pre

35、vail. What we need now is a code of conduct that helps to persuade people to practice filial piety. These standards do not intend to force people to obey filial principles by law, but provide them with a guideline. NO As a moral requirement for human beings, filial piety is unlikely to have perfect

36、standards. Real filial piety is not something to be shown off to others, but something buried deeply in ones heart. Due to different living and working environment, the ways of practicing filial piety may be different. It is unwise to require every child to follow the same standards. Besides, the ne

37、w standards are not feasible in modern days as many people live far away from their parents and have little time outside of work. The implementation of these new filial standards is not the right solution to the problem of Chinas aging population. As for the government, it is more effective to build

39、nied by various TV commercials. Most people find advertisements annoying and misleading, full of flowery phrases and empty promises. But there are some people who find advertisements amusing and interesting. As far as I am concerned, TV commercials should be curbed. Firstly, advertisements often exa

40、ggerate reality and may contain false information. In order to attract the audience and stimulate them to buy a certain product, advertisers often boast the effect of the product, and hire pop stars or celebrities to persuade consumers to believe in the advertisements authenticity. For example, a TV

41、 commercial of a facial cream claims that a lady will turn ten years younger as soon as she uses the cream, which is obviously deceptive. Whats worse, advertisers often turn a blind eye to the public influence of commercials. Many TV commercials encourage young people to pursue pure enjoyment and le

42、ad a luxurious life. If youngsters watch these advertisements all day long, they may be permeated with all kinds of unrealistic ideas, which may gradually influence their outlook of the world and life and hinder their growth. Therefore, to sum up, I strongly propose that TV commercials should be pla

45、like documentaries, TV dramas are only for the purpose of entertainment. As far as I am concerned, TV dramas should respect the history. First of all, the distortion of reality in TV dramas may exert an adverse impact on teenagers. There have been news reports about some teenage girls, who imitate t

Directors should be aware of the influence historical TV plays may exert on the audience, especially young fans. Secondly, fabrication of stories of prominent historical figures may be m

47、isleading. Some filmmakers make up stories of some prominent figures, severely distorting their images. Fictional characters and events in historical TV dramas are so deeply rooted in the minds of the audience that they cannot distinguish true stories from the fascinating plots. This explains why th
