10、to Contribute to Charity Business? Nowadays, more and more wealth holders allocate an ever-greater portion of their financial resources to charity. Some people think that the rich just do what they should do. They believe that contribution is the responsibility of the rich. I cannot agree with them
11、more. I have two reasons to support my view. On the one hand, the rich have a big share of social wealth, so they should assume a big share of responsibility in the charity business accordingly. It is generally accepted that the richest ten percent control more than half of the total wealth in many
12、societies. On the other hand, contribution to the charity cause is the best way for the rich to reward the society where their wealth comes from. Carnegie once said, it is a shame to die in wealth. Thats why many wealthy people like Li Jiacheng, the richest man in Hong Kong, and Bill Gates, the worl
13、ds richest man for 13 consecutive years, would rather subscribe a great part of their fortune to the charity than give it all to their offsprings.

15、rison has been a part of life for many people. Some people are strongly against this practice. They believe that comparing with others brings about more pressure. But I dont think so and I insist that it is wise to compare ourselves with others. I have several reasons to support my view. To start wi
16、th, others are mirrors through which we can see our own merits as well as demerits and improve ourselves accordingly. As Confucius said, “Among any three people walking, I will find something to learn for sure. Their good qualities are to be followed, and their shortcomings are to be avoided”. In ad
17、dition, we know clearly where we stand and who we are by comparison. For example, every time we take exams, we feel it necessary to be told where we rank to see if we have made progress or been left behind. Finally, comparing ourselves with people who are better than us can motivate us to work harde
18、r and express our full range of potential. From the foregoing, we can safely draw a conclusion that it is advisable to compare ourselves with others because we can introspect ourselves and move forward in the course of comparison. 【试题解析】 第一段描述背景引出我的观点：与他人比较是明智之举。 第二段列举三个原因来支持论点：他人是自己的一面镜子，通过比较，择其善者而从之，择其不善者而改之；有比较才能知道自己的处境；与比我们出色的人作对比可以激励我们奋发图强。 第三段总结上述讨论，重申与他人比较是可取的。 【知识模块】 作文
