新SAT考试满分作文范文1.Is the opinion of the majority-in government or in any other circumstances-a poor guide? The entire idea of democracy centers around “majority rule”， where laws and standards are put into effect if most of the citizens support it. However, if people concentrate on only the majority in each circumstance, they often forget the voices and rights of the minorities. Simply because a person is in the minority of an opinion does not mean he can be ignored, for in a true democracy all the citizens are guaranteed the same rights. Thus in some circumstances strictly following the opinions of the majority is a poor guide to determining what actions to take.The days before Americas Civil War, when slavery was prevalent, demonstrate that following majority rule often fails to respect peoples moral rights and liberty. The majority of white people in the early 1800s have supported slavery because of the benefits they received from the suppressed blacks. Thus, the government reluctantly allowed slavery to be legal in America, despite the terrible sufferings of the slaves. The degraded slaves underwent uncountable terrifying experiences-they were beaten, separated from their families, and forced to toil laboriously in fields their entire lives. And because the government believed “majority ruled”，the slaves lived in such conditions until the Emancipation Proclamation was written during the bloody Civil War. Had the government not followed the opinions of the clamoring whites, slavery could have been abolished much sooner, and much suffering could have been avoided. Thus, in this circumstance of freedom vs. suppression, the opinion of the majority served as a poor guide to follow by the U.S. government.Furthermore, the effects of majority rule impact Americans today, for there are many unsolved, controversial issues such as abortion, stem-cell research, and homosexual marriages. In the case of “gay rights”， the majority of Americans oppose people of the same sex marrying, and most of the states laws reflect this opinion. However, ignoring the wishes of gays and lesbians by enacting these laws will leave many of them unhappy because they cannot legally “tie the knot” with the person they love. The U.S. Constitution declares that everyone has the right to pursue happiness, but by banning gay marriages, some may be barred from the happiness of marriage. In addition, many oppose stem cell research because they are angered by the fact that embryos are created and then destroyed. Once again, though, if the government passes a law banning such research, the minority may suffer. Stem cell research may save lives by using the cells to specialize in a certain area. Those who would benefit from the discoveries of stem cell research may die“多数人做主的原则”是否会是个误导?民主的整个观念是基于“多数人做主的原则”。如果多数公民支持，法律和标准也就因此产生。然而，如果事事集中在多数人身上，人们就会忘记少数人的声音和权利。不能因为持有少数人的观点，这些人就该被忽视，因为真正的民主意味着所有的公民都有一样的权利。所以在一些情况下，严格地跟随多数人的意见行事便会误入歧途。美国南北战争前，奴隶制猖狂，就说明了多数人做主的原则常损害人们的道德权利和自由。19世纪初，多数白人支持奴隶制，因为他们受益于被压迫的黑人。所以当时的政府不顾奴隶的悲惨遭遇，半推半就地让奴隶制在美国合法化。被蹂躏的奴隶们惨遭无数可怕的经历被拷打，背井离乡，被迫终生耕作。正是政府信奉“多数人做主的原则”。奴隶们生活在这种状况下，直至南北战争中解放公告的诞生。如果当时的政府没有顺着白人的喧嚷行事，奴隶制可能会更早被废除，许多悲惨的遭遇也可避免。在这自由与压迫的问题上，多数人的意见误导了美国政府。多数人为准的原则甚至影响到当今美国人民，诸如许多尚未解决的有争议的社会问题：堕胎、 干细胞的研究及同性婚姻。在同性恋者的权利问题上，多数美国人反对同性婚姻，这反映在多数州的法律上。然而以法律来制约男女同性恋的愿望，不让他们相爱的人结合，破坏了他们中许多人的幸福。美国宪法宣称人人有权追求幸福，但禁止同性婚姻也就阻碍了一些人的婚姻幸福。进一步说，许多人反对干细胞的研究，因为他们不能容忍胚胎的培养而又被销毁。如果政府又用法律的形式来禁止这些研究，一些人将会遭难。干细胞的研究把细胞运用在特殊领域里，可能拯救许多生命。那些本可受益于干细胞研究的人们可能会死去。2.

When my mother and father divorced, I felt like it was the end of the world. It seemed as if a cold had settled over me, and that there was no such thing as a reliable relationship anymore. But as Ive grown older, Ive actually come to appreciate the breakup. My family went through some growing pains and we all had to re-evaluate ourselves and our family dynamics, but ultimately the divorce has served to bring my family closer together than we might have been had my parents not separated. My parents divorced when I was around 11 years old. I never thought Id see my father again. However, he didnt just vanish from sight. He lived in the same neighborhood, and hed see my brother and me pretty much every weekend. I had to adjust to not seeing my dad every day anymore, which was difficult, but with time things got easier. We would go to a movie or out to dinner on weekends, and I discovered aides of him I never knew before. My father seemed happier, and in return he lavished affection on me and my brother, something hed never really done before. These experiences with my dad encouraged me to start focusing on the positive aspects of the divorce, and the good that cam come from it. As I got older, I found my older brother was quickly becoming my best friend and advisor, something that wouldnt have happened to me had my father still been living at home. My brother helped me when I needed to know how to ask out girls or how to fight, and he even helped me with my calculus homework at night when my mother would be at school. If my dad had been there all the time, I wouldnt have had the same opportunity to really get to know and respect my brother in the same way. Now that Im almost a “man”, I see how I have become what I am by learning from my fathers mistakes and from the resourceful advice of my brother. Im sure it wasnt always easy for my brother to take on this mentoring role, but he rose to the challenge andwas always there for me when I needed him.My relationship with my mother is also extremely close, closer than it would have been had my father lived at home and persevered in the negative behavior. That ultimately led to their divorce. My mom is a strong woman and shes always been honest and supportive, even in the worst of times. Following the divorce, she worked really hard to keep our family thriving, even under our new arrangement. Im not saying that the divorce was a wonderful event, but I believe that the bond between my mother, brother, and myself is much stronger since we learned valuable lessons about depending on one another rather than on some kind of Ward Cleaver father-husband figure. My relationship with my dad has also improved. There have been hard times without my father around, but in the end, the “trouble” of my parents divorce actually opened a few doors for my family, and presented the opportunity for us to grow even closer to one another.4. One of the most important aspects of a person is his or her job. Whether a person is a basketball star, high schoolteacher, or astronaut, it is the job that defines a persons life. Even schoolwork determines what daily activities one chooses to do. Work is the essential base of a persons livelihood and sets the daily schedule of a person and determines what people that person interacts with. One example is my schoolwork. I value my education and prioritize it, making sure that I complete my homework before I begin to relax. When I go home, I make it mandatory that my homework is done before I begin to do things required for my extracurricular activities or play. Vacations and doctor appointments are scheduled around my school year and school day respectively. The group of friends I decide to associate with is also determined by my academics. All of my friends also place their education first, giving all of us no temptations or pressure to go and do a fun activity before the work is done. This results in an environment that is based upon my schoolwork and facilitates my learning. Another example would be my fathers job as an airline pilot. Although a very good job,
