However, some people object to the idea of raising animals as pets. They think animals have the right to live a natural life like human beings. On the other hand, raising animals as pets have a negative influence on the surroundings. What’s more, some animals will spread some diseases.
In my opinion, I do not like the idea to raise animals as pets. Animals have their own right to lead a life as they please. We should not ignore their natural right. In this way, we will live in a peaceful world in harmony with the other living creatures. 48.【参考范文】
Why Do People Like to Buy Lotteries?
Nowadays, there are all kinds of lotteries in our society. Wherever you go, you will see the advertisements of lotteries on TV, on newspapers, in the streets and so on. These lotteries are divided into welfare lottery, sports lottery, computer lottery, and so on. Meanwhile, there are quite a few people buying them.
But why are there so many people buying lotteries? Why are the lotteries so popular? In my opinion, there are three reasons for this. First, most people are trying their luck on lottery tickets. They have a long-cherished dream of making big money overnight. Second, some people just like it and it can make their life more colorful. Finally, there are some people who want to make donation to public welfare by buying lotteries. 49.【参考范文】 Dear Editor,
I’m a student of Senior Two. At the beginning of this term, my parents and teachers asked me to board at school. They say I can ask questions whenever I have any. Besides, they think boarding at school will make it possible for me to make full use of my night time, and I can also develop the ability to look after myself. However, I have my own thoughts. Staying at home in the evening, I can make use of my time freely and learn what I’d like to. Besides, I can watch TV for a little time. After all, study doesn’t mean everything. I really don’t know how to do. Please give me your advice! Yours, Zeng Yang 50.【参考范文】
How to Spend Leisure Time
Leisure life has become a very important part for many people today. Now we have more time for leisure. The improvement in our living standard has also brought great changes in the way we spend our leisure time. Unfortunately, a lot of people spend their leisure time harmfully. Some watch too much TV and get used to passive amusements. Some play cards deep into the night and spend the rest of the holiday sleeping. Such unwise pastimes result in their fatigue, boredom, emptiness and sickness.
In fact, there are lots of better things to do in our leisure time. Going to concerts or the theatre is a pleasant choice. Visiting parks or art exhibitions brings us great joy. And there are more entertainment in interesting books or pleasant music than in everyday TV programs.
In brief, unpleasant leisure pursuits lead to unhappiness, while pleasant ones enable us to enjoy ourselves and have a wonderful mind. 51.【参考范文】
At the beginning of the term, a campaign “To be a good student and a good citizen” was launched in our school, and great changes have taken place since then. Before the campaign, we used to be late for school and failed to hand in our homework in time. Often, we forgot to greet our teachers and after class we made loud noises. Worse still, we jumped the queue when waiting for buses and scrambled for seats on board.
However, the campaign has changed us a lot. We are no longer late for school and are more careful in our homework. We have learned to show respect for the elders, help others, wait in line for buses and give up seats to other passengers. The campaign is a very good experience, from which we have learned a lot. Most importantly, we have got rid of many bad habits and have become better students at school and better citizens in society. 52.【参考范文】

necessities and can help people rebuild their hometowns, while sometimes the things are not what they need actually. But some other students think that giving used clothing to the people in those areas is better. Many people, especially in rich areas and in cities, have much clothing they no longer like or need. By giving it away to the people in need we can make the best use of it. Besides, we are just students, and we have no income of our own. Anyhow, no matter which way is considered better, we should try our best to help those who need help. It goes without saying that money and other donations can be very helpful. 53.【参考范文】 Classmates, It was reported by Chongqing Evening News that more than ten thousand graduates from senior schools abandoned the chance to take the college entrance exam, which aroused a heated debate in our class.
The reason why they chose to give up lies in the following facts. There is a financial crisis this year. Their families’ income decreased and more university graduates can’t find their satisfactory jobs after four years’ study in universities.
In my opinion, the first is that they are at a disadvantage in grades due to the poor education conditions. The second is that the tuition is too high for their families to afford even if they are admitted to colleges or universities. Personally speaking, the students should attend the entrance exam. Though going to college no longer means good jobs and satisfying salary, yet higher education will put you at a favorable position in the job market. Besides, something must be done to raise the standard of education in under-developed areas. Last but not least, the government should spare no effort to create employment opportunities. That’s all, thank you. 54.【参考范文】 Dear Tony,
Double Ninth Festival, the traditional Chinese festival for the elderly, is coming around. We are planning to visit the Nursing Home to celebrate the special day, and we would like to invite students from your school to join us. We have planned several activities. When we get there, we will visit the elderly in their rooms in groups, presenting them with flowers and self-made cards to show our respect and love. Then we will do some cleaning and washing for them with the help of the nurses.
As some old people feel lonely, we may chat with them about their old days, changes of our city, or anything they are interested in. We may also give them some performances: singing, dancing, and so on.
I am sure we will both gain a better understanding of the elderly in China. If you have any suggestions, please let us know. Looking forward to your early reply. Yours, Li Hua 55.【参考范文】

As we all know, the Internet is playing an important part in our daily life. We often read news at home and abroad and learn foreign languages by ourselves on the Internet. Sometimes we send e-mails to our families as well as our friends. Besides, we listen to music, enjoy films and play computer games on it. We can even do shopping without leaving our homes. However, it has its disadvantages. Many students waste too much time playing the electronic games, which has a bad effect on their studies. What’s worse, the bad information on the Internet does great harm to them. I hope every student can make use of the Internet properly for their studies. 57. [参考例文]

I think it is a good thing in that it can enable the middle school students to get more information about the university and they can have enough time and opportunity to prepare themselves with the chance to enter the university. But some students forget their aim to visit the universities.They only enjoy the scenes and take photos and forget to appreciate the spiritual atmosphere in this learning field.And they should have good quality and behave themselves at any time. In order to keep the universities running smoothly as before,there must be some rules to guide the tourists and the university should take more measures to remind the visitors of behaving themselves. 58.

Why not use encouraging words
The story tells us about two frogs in the same situation,but they got different results.The one who thought he was encouraged lived out while the other died. I think the deaf frog was lucky because he thought his friends were encouraging him and with these so-called encouraging words,he survived. As we all know,encouraging words to someone who is down can lift them up and help them make it through the day while unhelpful words to someone who is down can be what it takes to kill them.So we should give more encouragement to our friends.
At classes when teachers praise students using encouraging words,students will be happy to learn and think they have more power to dig out.In this way,they will work harder and get better results.If teachers use discouraging words,students may feel sad and give up studying hard. 59. [参考例文] Smoking and health The article is about a smoking ban in Britain in public places to reduce heart attacks and other diseases of the nonsmokers.The ban says secondhand smoke may kill people around. We all know smoking does harm to a person.The smokers have more chance to get diseases such as lung cancer.There are more and more people dying of smoking across the world. Smoking is bad for our health.In my opinion the smokers should know the damage of smoking first and try to give up smoking.Especially in public places the smokers should not smoke because secondhand smoke makes other people get diseases.The smokers shouldn’t be so selfish and we should do something to help them.
If I see my friends smoke I will persuade them to give up.If they can’t control themselves,I will advise they have some sugar instead.I often tell them the bad points of smoking,too.

But there are more and more advertisements on TV misleading viewers to believe something wrong.Especially some food advertisements,they are bad for our health.There are even deaths caused by some cheating advertisements in some places.
In my opinion,advertisements do more good than harm.Only when we realize not all advertisements are reliable can we avoid being misled by the false ones.We should be more careful before making a decision to buy something.Meanwhile,I think government should make more detailed laws about advertisements,and customers can make a better choice. 62.

Born disabled, Susan was laughed at and denied at school.However, it is such a tough experience that steeled herself, and by practicing singing on different occasions she won world fame due to her powerful voice.
The story of Susan touched me very much.Susan told us not to judge a person from his/her appearance again.No one is born wise and there is no smooth way to success.Only by hard work and perseverance can we achieve our life goal. A similar experience also occurs to my friend, who had a nickname:wood head.He was always laughed at because he was clumsy in everything he did.So you can imagine how disappointed his parents were when the result of examination came out.Yet, with strong belief, he is consistent in his positive attitude toward life.After he became a senior middle school student, he worked even harder to catch up with others.To him, failure is a motive force to inspire him to go further.Eventually, he was admitted to a famous university of Guangdong last year. So,we know one’s disadvantage can be driving force in seeking success.It all depends on ourselves.In a word, we should learn the spirit of perseverance from Susan and my friend to achieve his dreams. 63.[参考例文] Reading
Reading is important for Americans.More and more people are joining book clubs which are formed by different people or organizations and for specific groups of readers. Book clubs are really good things.Reading the same book and sharing what we think of it can help us know more. Reading is also my favorite activity.My favorite novel is Gone with the Wind.It tells us a story about a woman, Scarlet, who is very brave and goes through a lot of difficulties but still faces life with courage.I always remember a famous sentence in this book“Tomorrow is another day.” This book encourages me to be brave.Whenever I am in trouble I will think of this sentence. Personally, I think reading can really bring us benefits.It can enlarge our knowledge and make us more intelligent.Besides, it is helpful for our learning, especially for writing good compositions. 64.

Modern relationship between teachers and students is much better than that in the past, which is more relaxing and pleasant, but it doesn’t mean that teachers have lost the power over their students.
Nowadays, getting along well with teachers is much valued than ever before.To create a good relationship with teachers, we need to respect them and appreciate their efforts, while at the same time we need to do our basic responsibilities well, such as attending class on time, being well prepared for class with completed assignments and being fully concentrated in class. Actually, having a good relationship with teachers makes it easier for us to get along smoothly with our study at school.As far as I am concerned, my teacher was my good friend, so I would turn to him whenever I had any trouble and he always gave me a hand timely.It has had a strong effect on my personality, such as being helpful and considerate, which enables me to grow up healthily.Therefore, good relationship between teachers and students is worthwhile for everyone to cherish. 65. Better Late than Early [参考例文1]
The passage tries to tell us that getting up early in the morning is a good habit that will benefit us a lot, including a better memory, healthier body and better preparation for the day.
I just can’t possibly agree with that.I find it difficult to get up early.If I get up early in the morning, I will absolutely feel tired and sleepy during the morning classes because I haven’t got enough sleep.But if I get up late and have enough sleep, I will feel more energetic and confident, so I will do better in my study.However, both my parents and all the teachers think we should get up very early in the morning.I suppose they just can’t understand that we teenagers need much more sleep than they do.Actually, as a student, I have to study until very late in the evening exhaustedly every day.So if possible, I’ll certainly choose to get up late.

I totally agree with the author.Just like many of my friends, I’m an early bird.I benefit a lot from the habit of getting up early.After getting up early in the morning, I have enough time to make a plan for the work of the day and do it more effectively.If getting up too late, I will feel great pressure and usually can’t finish my work on time.My parents are pleased with my good habit.Also they think I’d better take up some physical exercise in the morning.I think that’s a good idea.After all, morning exercise can help us keep healthy.So, let’s get up early to have a healthier and better life. 66.

The story I read tells us that when the writer’s car broke down near a far-away village, he got help from all the villagers and felt grateful for how he had been treated. I was moved by the story.Nothing is more impressive and unforgettable than being offered help or helping others in trouble.Since we are living under the same roof, there’s no doubt that we need to care about other people and support each other, especially when time is hard.In these two years, there have been many disasters striking different parts of our country, causing thousands of people suffering pains of losing homes.I remembered when Wenchuan Earthquake took place, many of us donated money for people there.A beggar without legs, who was just able to earn his bread by begging for money, donated all his savings to help Wenchuan people.Hearing the story and watching all about this on TV, we were moved to tears.Why not hold out your helping hand to those who are suffering.To give is to receive.What you give is the best gift for whoever waiting for the help. 67.【参考范文】 Found

Still young, Liu has improved steadily, and won a gold medal at the 2004 Summer Olympics in the 110-meter hurdles event. In the final, he equaled the world record of 12. 91 seconds held since 1993.
