Can Money Buy Happiness?Some people think of money as the source of happiness. In their eyes, money can buy everything, such as spacious houses, luxurious cars, fashionable clothes, delicious foods, all of which will make them feel happy. Other people believe that money is the root of all evil. In their opinion, those who are greedy for money will break the law to get money. For example, some of them may get the money by robbing a bank or a supermarket, kidnapping the child of the rich, or taking bribery.In my opinion, having a lot of money does not ensure the happiness everyone desires. It is known to all that many rich people do not have a happy life. On the other hand, without money, people cannot get the living necessity. As a result, they will live a miserable life. Therefore, people can live happily only by making money in an honest way.3. Can Man Triumph over Nature? It seems, at one time, that man can conquer nature. For example, man has succeeded in harnessing new forms of energy from steam power through oil to nuclear power to serve them better. Man has also made advances in biogenetic engineering, which held out bright promises in vast areas of human life. Still, man has tamed a lot of fierce animals to be a useful hand to farmers. Yet, nature has often hit back in unexpected ways to these attempts to tame it. Natural disasters, new forms of diseases are constantly emerging. To the aggressive people who attempted to cross the snow capped mountain, avalanches are often the painful answer We need not conquer nature and vice versa. The way out is, possibly, that we get along in harmony with each other. We respect nature, make reasonable use of it, and never neglect it. Otherwise, it will hit back ruthlessly just like what Napoleon and Hitler had suffered from the Russian winter.4. Reading Selectively or ExtensivelyWhen it comes to reading, many people think that reading selectively is a good way, but some others do not agree. They think that reading extensively is better. Those people, who think that reading selectively is better, believe that good books are as many as bad books. Those good books can give us pleasure and knowledge, while those bad books can only lead us to the wrong way. So, they suggest that we should only choose the good books to read and never touch the bad books.But, the other people, who hold that reading extensively is better, think that one kind of books can give us one aspect of knowledge. Even the best book only contains one field of information. So they can easily come to the conclusion that “to know more, to read more”. So they believe that reading extensively is better.In my opinion, we should choose good books to read and read good books as many as possible. Only by this way, can we increase the quality and quantity of reading.5. How I Finance My College Education Nowadays, tuition and fees for college are much higher than ever before. How to finance college education has become a major concern to many students. Students can finance their college education in various ways. Some depend on their parents, as is the most common case in China. Some do a part-time job. Some apply for a loan especially set up for college students. As for the top students, they can get scholarship to support themselves. For my own part, I acquire most of my tuition and fees from my parents. So, I neednt worry too much about the money and can concentrate on my study. On the other hand, a part-time job in my spare time makes my campus life more colorful. I can make friends, improve my ability and get experience which cannot be learned in class. And in this way can I relieve my parents of burden. This is my way to cover my tuition and fees. 6. How to Succeed in a Job Interview? Nowadays, there are many books telling people how to behave in a job interview. People looking for a job usually attach great importance to job interviews. And doing well in a job interview means a good chance of being employed. To leave a deep impression on the interviewer, the first thing you have to do is dressing yourself properly so that you may look mature and confident. Pay attention to the way you talk and behave, for such little things are often ignored. What is more, you should prepare a brief self-introduction including your working experiences and special abilities. If you follow the advice, you will most probably succeed in a job interview and in most cases, you will get the job you are dreaming of.7. Bicycles An Important Means of Transport in China China is referred to as the “the kingdom of bicycles”, since a high proportion of vehicles on the roads in China are bicycles. How did bicycles gain popularity with people? The reasons may be listed as follows: To begin with, bicycles are very cheap. Compared with the expensive and mission-critical products cars, both their purchase and maintenance are of low price. Consequently, most people can afford a bicycle, while cars are far beyond their means. Another advantage of bicycles, as we all know, is that they are very convenient. There is no denying the fact that cars are much faster than bicycles in many cases. However, driving a car entails smooth traffic. If the distance is not very long and the roads are not broad enough, it will be of greater convenience if one rides a bicycle so as not to be caught in a traffic jam. So it can be found that it is their low price and great convenience that win bicycles popularity. As far as I am concerned, bicycles will still be widely used before China becomes a really developed country when most of the people may afford to buy cars and the problem of traffic jam has been fully dealt with. 英语中的过渡性词语非常丰富，分列如下：1） 表示时间顺序：first, first of all, to begin with, in the first/second place/ for one thing, initial/initially, second, third, next, from then on, then, since then, before, before that, prior to, previously, beforehand, after, after that, afterward, while, meanwhile, at the same time, during, when, whenever, as soon as, until, at that moment, later, later on, subsequently, eventually, last, at last, finally 2） 表示空间顺序：to the left, to the right, in the middle of, on either side of, on both sides of, near/next/close to, in front of, behind, from behind, on top of, under, beneath, above, over, between, in between, across, at the edge of, at the centre of, beyond, inside, outside, among, from among, parallel to, adjacent to 3） 表示并列关系：likewise, once again, once more, in the same way, similarly, similar to, vice versa, also, not onlybut also, bothand, as well, like, just like, as, just as, equally, namely 4） 表示转折: but, yet, whereas, however, otherwise, in contrast, in contrast to, conversely, though, although, nevertheless, unlike, in spite of, despite, on the contrary, on the one handon the other hand, instead, instead of, rather than, even so, even if, even though, not asas, vary, differ from, different from 5） 表示举例：for example, for instance, such as, that is/ i.e. / namely (即)，in other words, in general, in particular, a case in point is, especially, specially 6） 表示结果：as a result, as a consequence, consequently, so/therefore/thus, then, for this reason, he
