10、uch Is Justified Sports stars are not only famous among young people but also envied by many middle-aged men, who long for wealth. An internationally renowned tennis player could make 100 million US dollars a year, an amount average people could not even dream about. However, I think sports professi
11、onals deserve this high pay. First of all, the career of professional players is usually risky, which is worthy of high returns. Shoulder injuries during practice, tissue damage in games and irreversible symptoms after operation, all haunt each and every sport professional. For instance, Sang Lan, a
12、 gymnastic athlete, landed on her head and paralyzed herself from chest down at a young age. With high risks come high returns. This is fully justified. Second, it requires years of efforts and commitment to become a sport professional. No matter how talented one can be, he still needs to get drilli
13、ng, exercises and training. David Beckham, for example, confessed that he had to kick the football many times a day to refine and perfect his shooting skills.

Cultural beliefs vary from one country to another. That is why we look at issues in different or even opposite manners. Even though some countries have l
16、egalized homosexual marriage, I do not think it should be legalized in the Chinese context in the near future. Chinese culture is a hierarchical and patriarchal one, with strong emphasis on family tradition. If homosexual marriage is legalized, the concepts of “family“ and “marriage“ will be challen
17、ged. This is a threatening force to destroy the foundation of Chinese cultural beliefs. For example, Chinese people are taught that “having no kids is the most unfilial act to your parents“. That means if a couple cannot produce an offspring, they are most likely shamed and humiliated by their famil
18、y members. As such, we can see that, in Chinese culture, one important purpose of marriage is to produce male heirs, to continue the blood line. Given this cultural context, it is not hard to imagine what kind of pain gay couples would suffer, for they could never produce their own children. In conc

Spring festival is a good time for business, not only for those who sell goods, but also for those who sell themselves. It sounds weird
21、, but it is true quite a few young men and ladies are hired as the “boyfriend“ or “girlfriend“ to silence the constant nagging from parents. However, I do not think this is a wise choice. Hiring someone to pose as the boyfriend or girlfriend is only treating the symptoms, not curing the disease. Whe
22、n you bring “someone“ home, you do not have to listen to the nagging about “finding a boyfriend“ any more That is quite true but the story does not end there. Upon meeting the much desired “son-in-law“, probably your parents ask you “when are you two getting married?“ A new round of interrogation is
23、 just on the way. Besides, when you two are left in one bedroom, would you share a bed with your “stranger-boyfriend“? If not, you might have to brace yourself, because you will be bombarded by another wave of questions. To avoid all these potential troubles, honesty is always the best policy. In co

While it has brought great convenience to us, its
26、rapid development has also aroused much concern about whether it will one day think like man, or even worse, whether man will think like the computer. In my judgment, although the computer may have incredible intelligence and can take the place of human labor in many fields, it is unlikely that it w
27、ill take the place of man someday. A computer has no independent thinking, and therefore it can never really think like man. However, with the frequent use of, and the increasing reliance on, the computer, there is indeed a danger that some people may think and act the same way as the computer which
28、 is programmed. They may lose the ability to think critically and reactively, and eventually develop some “programmed routine“ in their behavior, neglecting the rich subtleties of human feelings and emotions. Therefore, while making good use of the computer, we should always bear in mind that it is

With the Internet, communication beyond distance can be achieved. For example, a mother can easily contact her daughter stu
32、dying abroad, and a student can get the instant guidance from a professor in a distant city. On the other hand, the negative impact of the Internet on personal communication should not be ignored. Some people are so absorbed in online communications that they tend to lose interest in face-to-face ta
33、lk, which is pretty important for establishing or maintaining a sense of personal connection. Even worse is the fact that some may fail to grasp the skills needed in real-life interpersonal communications. In conclusion, the Internet is a double-edged sword.
