3、nd technology. The invention of automobiles shortens the distance of peoples travel; the invention of airplanes makes the world become smaller; the invention of computers makes our work and study more efficient. AN these should attribute to modern science and technology. But should the government on
4、ly support the students in science financially and abandon the investment in study and research of other fields like arts, business administration and other humanity subjects? Personally, I dont agree to this opinion. Firstly, the development of arts and other humanity subjects helps us understand o
5、ur society and gives people spiritual enjoyment. For example, philosophy heips us know our world and think in right ways; arts cultivate peoples aesthetic talents and abilities and help people understand what is beautiful and what is ugly; literature gives people joys and sorrows, rendering people a

9、ike as their subject. 2 【正确答案】 There has long been a heated discussion about whether the government should shoulder the responsibilities for its peoples basic expenses such as health care and education. Some people argue that its the governments unshakeable duty to do so. Others, by contrast, hold t
10、he opposite opinion. Personally, I choose to stand on the former side. To commence with, lets make clear what “the government“ means. It is an institution representing its peoples interest and benefits. A democratic government is, in Jeffersons words, “of the people, for the people and by the people
11、“. Apparently, health care and education both fall into the ring of peoples fundamental interest, benefits and rights, thus for sure making a part of the unshakable duties of any government. Furthermore, to guarantee these two benefits is actually crucial to every nations stability. This is because

All in all, its the governments due and inescapable responsibility to bear peoples health care and education expenses, both currently and in the longer term.
