1Admittedly, disagreement from others plays an important role in study. First of all, even if the most talented students also have limits in their fields, some critics from others could help these students evaluate their works and find new directions.Secondly, even if they are right and these disagreements are wrong, disagreements could stimulate students to do better in the future.On the other hand, I also agree that people whose views we share can help people make breakthrough in study.In conclusion, I dont agree with that disagreement inhibits learning. People should strive for a balance between learning from agreement and from disagreement, that is, combine them with each other.2First of all, we are living in a society that is combined by individuals. There is no doubt that competition is one of the best ways to make breakthrough for everyone, especially in sports field.Secondly, societys development gets a lot of benefits from competition. Competition makes peoples work more effectively.However, competition sometimes causes many society problems. We cannot ignore the bad influences of competition to people. Competition makes people feel more strained every day. The tension may cause many physical problems, such as hypertension. In addition, under the pressure of competition, someone would use some illegal methods to do better than others. In conclusion, people should make a use of competition for individual and societys progress. People also need to limit the competition in an appropriate degree.3Admittedly, many immediate problems such as unemployment, poverty and environmental pollution will negatively influence social stability and sustainable development, thus deserving governments immediate and urgent attention. If these problems dont be solved right now, the development of the society would be impeded seriously and peoples living is also influenced greatly. However, people cant ignore the importance of long-term research. The government should pay attention to these problems and allocate funds. Such foresight and earlier emphasis of problems of environment or disease, such as SARS, could have led to early and preventative treatment.In conclusion, people should strive for a fund balance between immediate, existing social problems and long-term research. The government should make a careful study before make a decision about fund use. Only with a concerning for both problems, could nations develop rapidly and their generations could get benefits in the future.4Admittedly, there are many stunning achievements that are found within their own fields.However, I agree that interaction with other fields plays an important role in study. First of all, other fields knowledge could help people understand things in their own field. Secondly, the studys method of other fields could also be used in own field.On the other hand, I think people should make a balance between interaction and own efforts.Admittedly, there are many curriculums that should be required to study in university, no matter what majors students are. Courses in the sciences are necessary for all students, especially math and physics curriculums. However, it doesnt mean that all curriculums should be decided by government. I agree that education will be more effective when it is designed to meet the individual needs and interests of each student.On the other hand, students having the right to choose their own courses doesnt mean that it is enough to only learn majors courses.6The trends of youth always represent the trend of todays society. They are curious to learn new things and choose what they like from them. Analyze youths interests can help people to understand contemporary culture.In addition, youth have the courage to break through from the old rigid one. Youth are the origin of new ideas and styles come from.However, even if youth plays an important role in society, people could not ignore the power of middle-aged people. Middle-aged people play more important roles in fields such as economics, politics, education that could represent contemporary culture too.Moreover, it is also important to acknowledge the history and cultural tradition. A countrys traditional culture has profound impactions on todays cultural development.例子：Confucianism(儒家文化)Pioneer of a country, fresh, immature, sharp, aggressive, special point of views and personal tastes,7Admittedly, video camera provides an accurate record of contemporary life. For example, people could enjoy a wonderful match through videos after many years.However, I disagree with that the video camera has become a more important form of documentation than written records. First of all, videos could only record what happened and there are many details that cant be recorded in camera.Secondly, written record could provide people some ideas and opinions of the writer in that period. I think these opinions are more important than what happened.8Admittedly, political leader can get publics trust by opening information. The political leader is chose by public and he has the obligation to let public know what he is doing, especially related to peoples live and goods. In addition, there are many problems that political leader cant deal by his own group. At this time, opening information to public can get more supports from people, including money and human resources.However, it doesnt mean that political leader needs to open all information. Withholding information is necessary sometimes. Firstly, leader always cant talk about military secrets to public. If public know the action, it also means that the enemies could know it by their spies.On the other hand, when facing problems that might cause peoples panic, leader who withholds information is sophisticated.9Admittedly, as a matter of fact, the more specialized the ideas, the less accessible to them.However, specialization does not have any impact on the value of scholars ideas.Moreover, I think it is not necessary for the public to understand all abstruse ideas scholars hold. For example, most people do not know how the CPU is running in the personal computer, but this does not hamper them to using computers.On the other hand, I acknowledge that if people could understand some specialized ideas, the live would be easier.10Governments should give financial support to their major cities in order to protect their cultural tradition. These big cities have been the cultural centre for thousands of years and there are many cultural relics in these cities. To support they need in order to thrive, these cities could have enough money to protect cultural tradition.However, these large cities are often influenced by other countries culture. Large cities may lose their own tradition with the globalization and social development.On the other hand, a nations distinct cultural traditions, such as folk art, crafts, traditional songs ceremonies-burgeon, are in small towns and rural regions.例子：Beijing: tea shop and coffee shop; Beijing opera and rock-and-rollShanghai;Arica and South America: larger cities are influenced by America and Europe countries. These influences are so overwhelming that you can hardly discern any cultural tradition of their own. 11It is needed that students should learn the ability to solve the worlds most persistent social problems, such as environment production, terrorism.However, it doesnt mean that develop a global university could solve these problems. I suspect that whether students could hold the ability after they graduate.On the other hand, developing a global university seems to be an illusion. Caring about their own profits, many nations may disagree with such an idea.12We are living in the society. We have friends, colleagues and families. We communicate with them and have influence on or being influenced by others. In many cases, our decision or attitudes are influenced by the environment.When face different problems, peoples attitude would be changed by the features. If the case is accepted by most of people in ones group, the people would choose to accept it even if he doesnt think it is right.However, people sometimes may use the environments factors as an excuse to escape his obligation. On the other hand, peoples internal characteristic also could determine one choice. Spending time alone can contribute to more favorable decision and better thinking rather than a better collaborator. As Albert Einstein once said, “Everything that is really great and inspiring is created by individuals who can labor in freedom”.As a matter of fact, peoples attitudes are determined by the compound effect of inernal characteristic and environment.13Admittedly, with the development of globalization, there is trend that people more likely use some common languages such as English, Spanish, French and Chinese. People can get great benefits from using these common languages in many fields.However, even if there are many lesser-known languages that are ignored by people in use, these languages still make great contributions to peoples culture. As the precious legacy handed down by ancestors, a language is the key to the study and preservation of a culture, which should be protected by the governments of countries。Nowadays, unfortunately many minor languages are in danger of extinction since they are used by fewer people. I agree that some countries should take actions to prevent there languages that are facing extinct from dying out. So does the people themselves who own the languages. All people, no matter whether they are the languages users, should make efforts to save these legacies of the whole culture of human being.14Imaginative works that are the outcome of peoples intellectual creation pay more attention to the inner life of human. On the other hand, factual accounts use scientific words and rational analysis to enhance its accuracy. People can get more information from these imaginative works that are more interesting and enrich peoples spiritual world.Because of factual accounts are usually wrought by official writers, they dont record the history correctly in order to pander the dominator.Although it is necessary for everyone to read imaginative works, people could not ignore the importance of factual accounts. Factual accounts use scientific words and rational analysis to enhance its accuracy. In addition, Factual accounts can show people some secrets that imaginative works could not get.例子：Leo Tolstoy and his Cao Xueqing and his The difference of and 15Admittedly, the extremes of human behavior, such as terrorism and violence, harm the stability of a society. We cannot forget the 911 terrorist attacks in America. The nation suffered great grief from the case and this case directly caused a war in Iraq in 2003. These extremes of human behavior threat peoples security seriously. If governments belittle the power of these behaviors, there is no doubt that human society must suffer a great lost, both in economics and public security.However, when people study the reason of these extreme behaviors, people could find that because of governments wrong decision or actions, many other society problems caused these extreme behaviors. 犯罪率 crime rate； 失业率 unemployment rate；经济萧条 economic depressionIt means that there are many other factors that may influence the stability of a society. There are many other efforts government should make. (education, problem of employment, public medicine, economic development, accomplish laws structure.)16Admittedly, people sometimes would be lazy and self-satisfaction after they enjoy the luxuries and conveniences of contemporary life. The adage that Great mans sons seldom do well could prove it.However, the motivation that people work hard every day is that they want to make their lives better. There is no doubt that everyone has such an idea. We cant accuse this motivation because it is just one of peoples instincts.On the other hand, people could not ignore the contribution of luxuries and conveniences life in society. There are many great achievements that are made in a luxuries and conveniences environment. In conclusion, luxuries and conveniences life should not be the crucial factor that influences peoples independence. If one has a strong will to develop into truly strong and independent individuals, all the environment factors seem to be inappreciable.17Firstly, the definition of just and unjust is unclear. Because everyone has his own understanding of just, it is difficult to persuade all people to make a common sense about just. When considering their own profits, someone would acknowledge a law and others cant agree with it.Secondly, we are living in the society that needs regulations and laws to maintain the stability. It means that all people must to obey the laws have been set. People have the right to give suggestions about accomplishing the law, but people also have the obligation to follow these laws.Finally, although there are many flaws in existed law, it doesnt mean that people cant amend them. 18First of all, because everyone holds different ideas toward the same things, a comparison with the doubts and contrasting views of others is very important. People can find the advantages of others ideas and take use of them in order to accomplish his own ideas.Secondly, when the idea held is challenged, people are motivated to defend it against doubts and disagreements. In order to convince others of the value of the idea, people should persuade themselves at first. However, people could not be a bigot who sticks to his own ideas even if lethal errors are rooted.19Admittedly, a societys overall success is an important factor when value a societys value.However, I disagree that its overall success is more important than well-being of its individual citizens. First of all, the society is made up of individuals.Secondly, the history proved that all prosperous nations share a common feature that its citizens have a well-being life. On the other hand, if its individuals cant live well, the nation could only be powerful in a short time.20Admittedly, children represent the future of people. Governments should devote many social programs and services to make a better environment for children to grow up, especially in education and medicine.However, because adults are the base of the society, governments cant ignore adults willing. It means that governments must devote more services to adults. First of all, adults are the creator of societys wealth and they have the right to get more service from the society.Secondly, I suspect that if adults demands cant be satisfied, it will cause a panic in society.In conclusion, governments should devote enough services to both children and adults. 23Admittedly, contemporary technology makes available many small pieces o factual information. The computer skills help people get more detailed data in experiences.In addition, there is no doubt that the fragmented information plays an important role in study and working.However, I disagree that people belittle the larger issues and overall perspectives. The aim of paying attention to details is to have a better understand of the overall perspective.In conclusion, people should strive for a balance between fragmented information and overall perspective.24Admittedly, people in positions of power should exercise caution and restraint in the use of that power. The power of these leaders is given by people and leaders should respect the peoples choice. How to do it? Leaders need to use their power to help people live better. If they dont restraint in the use of power, they may lose the position. Richard Nixon is a good example.However, leaders also should have the pluck to make decision. If leader is too careful to use the power, people will also ask, why we choose him. In conclusion, people should strive for a balance between caution and bravery, that is, combine them with each other.25Admittedly, people always make things bigger and more complex, especially in science fields.However, I think the reason why people make things bigger is that people want to make things simple.On the other hand, whether people make things complex or simple isnt the major problem. People care more about the result.In conclusion, people should strive for a balance between simplification and complexity, that means, combine them with each other.26I agree that buildings represent a valuable record of history. These old architectures have important history values. They can show up one culture very well.On the other hand, these old buildings could play an important role in modern development. These buildings would attract a lot of tourists to visit the city and stimulate local economic development.In addition, when government considers pulling down these architectures, they should think about the feeling of the people in the city. It is easily to agree that if our family has lived in the city with these old buildings for hundreds of years, we have treated these old buildings as our friends. If anyone would kill your best friend with a pretext that you will get great benefit, can you help the murderer? Of course not!例子：London without Big Ben, Paris without Arc de Triomphe, Peking without the Summer PalaceThe civilians anger when Peking government destroyed the Beijings Wall in 1960s.27Admittedly, conforming to conventional practices and ways of thinking could help students have a better understanding of the existed theories. Copying others ideas, especially the famous ideas, is very i
