6、n Metropolitan Life? Metropolitan life is fast-paced and full of pressure. People in big cities are facing many issues both at work and at home. Some find themselves psychologically ill whereas still many others are not even aware of it. Something has to be done to address this problem. Firstly, the
7、 existence of mental disease should be made publicly known. Mental disorders may not be explicitly seen always, but they are certainly an invisible killer to peoples health. Health authorities should pay more attention to mental illness when they are making public healthcare policies. In addition, r
8、elevant campaigns should be conducted to make average people know more about how to keep mentally healthy. Secondly, medical consulting should be made available for average people who are suffering from mental disorders and who are having the tendency toward disorders. When people are feeling someth
9、ing wrong mentally, it should be easy for them to get medical help and have professionals to talk to. Psychiatrists are specialized in dealing with mental problems so people can get right treatment in the early stage of mental illness. In many big cities, however, professional help in this regard is
10、 not easily accessible. Relevant authorities should notice this problem and take some measures to fix it. Thirdly, people can actively do something to prevent mental disorders. Prevention is always better than treatment. A good and positive state of mind always helps a lot. Being more optimistic, we

12、uth that every one is facing problems in some way, and we are not alone in dealing with difficulties, thus we should be braver to move forward. In addition, we can do sports regularly, playing badminton, basketball or football. In this regard, the government should make more sports facilities and pa
13、rks available for people to take part in sports activities and enjoy themselves. Fourthly, working places and companies should be more human-oriented, so that employees would not feel too much pressure from work. Family members can help too, as family love can be one of the best cures for mental dis
14、orders. In conclusion, in order to. guard against psychological disorders, each and every one of people in the society should play an active part. Starting to care about your mental health may be the first step to build a favorable relationship between man and society. 【知识模块】 作文 2 【正确答案】 Tourism Won
15、t Be Replaced by TV or the Internet The information era is now with us, and television and the Internet can almost bring us everything we want to see, including scenic spots home and abroad. Some people, therefore, are worried that travelling will become unpopular or even obsolete some day. But I st
16、rongly believe that this kind of argument is not well grounded and travelling will not be replaced by TV watching or Internet surfing. To begin with, travelling is all about seeing something real. As an old saying goes: to see is to believe. Here, “to see“ means you are there to see something by you
17、r own eyes and experience the true feeling of interfacing with it. Travelling makes you situated in certain place, thus arouses your sense of full enjoyment Tourists are indulged in the attracting scenes as well as the process of travelling. They go into the world of local people, and they not only
18、see, but also touch, smell, taste and feel the local culture. TV programs and web content can certainly show you the images of a place, but those are the images brought through other peoples description or camera-shooting. The images in virtualized world can only please your eyes for a while, and yo
19、u do not have real mental interaction with them. Secondly, people get mental relaxation through travelling. Usually travelling will cost more man one day, so people can get rid of daily work and household chores which are the sources of mental stress. Playing and having fun are the themes of travell
20、ing. No matter it is in a sunshine beach or an exotic town, people breathe free air and get relaxed to a full extent. This cannot be achieved by just sitting home watching TV or browsing websites. Thirdly, travelling enriches peoples personal experience and brings closer the relationship among trave
21、llers. If you travel alone, it is very likely that you meet interesting people and have new friends. The whole process makes you happy and colors your life. If you travel with family members or friends, you enjoy happy time with them, thus the travelling becomes your common happy memory, which will
22、become one of the biggest treasures in life later on. In this regard, TV programs and net pictures are just dry contents, and will not add any value to your personal life. In conclusion, television and the Internet connection will not kill tourism, and on the contrary they will assist tourism develo
23、pment and tourism will prosper. 【知识模块】 作文 3 【正确答案】 Should Children of Different Abilities Be Educated Together or Separately? There are different opinions concerning the issue whether children of different abilities should be educated together or separately. Though it is true that children can be gi
24、ven special treatment when educated separately, I still think it more beneficial to teach children together. In the first place, children of different abilities can share with and learn from one another when they are educated together. As is known to all, every person is unique. Children of various
25、abilities and interests being educated together get more opportunities to learn about themselves and other children. When they understand themselves and others better and be more aware of their own defects and merits, they may try to eliminate the defects and strengthen the merits by learning from p
26、eers. Undoubtedly, this helps children to grow. In addition, learning together, children can become more cooperative and learn to get along well with others. When children of different abilities work together to face a challenge, they treat the issue from different viewpoints, and in the process lea
27、rn to express themselves and to understand others different opinions. They learn to negotiate, to compromise and to reach agreement. These are all useful communicative skills for their future life. Finally, mixed education can promote all-around development of childrens characters, while on the cont
28、rary, separate education may probably end up hindering their potential development in the future. It is widely acknowledged that ones talent in different fields does not develop to the same extent. For example, a child may seem to be talented in painting at age 5, but his real life-time interest may
29、 be in dancing. If at age 5, he were put to learn with other children of the same interest(i.e., painting), he would probably be deprived of the possibility of learning to dance altogether. However, on the contrary, there are no such risks with mixed education. To sum up, I think it better to teach
30、children of different abilities together. It helps the children to understand each others strengths and shortcomings, to develop their social skills, and to promote development of their whole potentials. Even though separate education may be more efficient in addressing each individuals strengths, i
31、ts risk of possibly depriving the child of his potentials is so severe that it is just unacceptable. 【知识模块】 作文 4 【正确答案】 HAPPINESS What is happiness? Different people have different ideas. Some people are rich; they think they are happy. Other people have many friends, and they feel happy. For childr
32、en, happiness often suggests getting goodies or playing with toys. For a stamp collector, stamps bring more delight than meals. And for a scientist, a discovery or an invention rather than anything else gives him the greatest satisfaction. So we know that happiness has much to do with wealth, friend
33、ship, material satisfaction, career achievements, and so on. However, all these things alone do not necessarily bring about happiness. The way you treat them decides whether you will be happy or not. That is, it is ones inner state of mind that decides happiness. First, external materials do not nec
34、essarily make one happy. Material shortage or poverty may cause troubles to us, but those with great hope and an optimistic mind can easily overcome them. Actually, many poor people live happily. On the other hand, there is no lack of news about millionaires committing suicide. Therefore, we cannot
35、depend on material success to be happy. Then, we may feel good when we are loved, cared, admired or respected by others. However, if we look into these spiritual matters deeper, we understand that it is not others love, care, admiration or respect that makes us happy; it is our own feelings that mak
36、e us happy. No one can please all others; there are always some people who are kind to you and some who are hostile to you. Therefore, whether you feel happy or not depends on how much you can please those you really care. That explains why Leslie Chan was unhappy and committed suicide even though h
37、e had so many fans who loved him so much. If external material and spiritual matters do not bring about happiness, then we have to conclude that happiness come from our own mind. For example, imagine you will earn one million yuan this year. Will you be happy then? Maybe. If last year you only earne
38、d 500 thousand yuan, or if all your neighbors, colleagues and friends only earn 900 thousand yuan, there is good reason for you to feel happy. But suppose you earned 5 million yuan last year, or suppose all those you know earn 2 million yuan each, it is doubtful you will still be so happy. Yes, happiness is related to how you define yourself against a certain background. In a word, happiness, though closely related to external material and spiritual matters such as wealth, health, and others care and love, in essence depends on how one treats himself, others and the world. 【知识模块】 作文
