共同成长见仁见智When a rather dirty,poorly dressed person knees at your feet and puts out his hands to beg for a few coins,do you hurry on,not knowing what to do,or do you feel sad and hurriedly hand over some money?What should our attitude to beggars be?There can be no question that the world is full of terribly sad stories.It must be terrible to have no idea where our next meal is going to come from.It seems cruel not to give some money to beggars.Certainly,most of the worlds great religions order us to be open-hearted and share what we have with those less fortunate than ourselves.But has the world changed?Maybe what was morally right in the old days,when one knew exactly who in the village had suffered misfortune and needed help,is no longer the best idea.Quite a few people will not give to beggars.They have their own opinions or excuses about what they do,which sounded reasonable.It is hard to come to any final conclusion.There are various cases and we must deal with them differently.A few coins can save a life in some situations,and even if the money is wasted,that does not take away the moral goodness of the giver.【问题导入】 随着社会经济的发展，人们的物质生活和文化生活日益丰富。可是，乞讨现象却几乎存在于每一个城市。人们对此观点不一:有人认为乞丐值得同情，尤其是残疾人和有智力障碍的人;有人却不以为然，并举出了种种理由。你是如何认为的呢？What do you think of beggars in the cities?A university student:Its a sad thing to see beggars in the streets.They are pitiful.I often give my coins to the disabled beggars.A taxi-driver: Many city beggars dress up on purpose to look pitiable and actually make a good living from begging.Giving to beggars only encourages this sort of evil (恶行).A businessman:The problem should be dealt with by the government rather than ordinary people.They should go to the local government department and receive help.A clerk in a government office: I have no sympathy for those beggars who are normal both physically and mentally.There is no reason for begging.My view:_读书做人【话题链接】 我们国家已经进入老龄化社会。如何应对老龄化社会所带来的一系列问题是一个新的挑战。老年人的陪护问题就是其中之一。My parents were in a huge argument,and I was really upset about it.I didnt know who I should talk with about how I was feeling.So I asked Mom to allow me to stay the night at my best friends house.Though I knew I wouldnt tell her about my parents situation.I was looking forward to getting out of the house.I was in the middle of packing up my things when suddenly the power went out in the neighborhood.Mom came to tell me that I should stay with my grandpa until the power came back on.I was really disappointed because I felt that we did not have much to talk about.But I knew he would be frightened alone in the dark.I went to his room and told him that Id stay with him until the power was restored.He was quite happy and said,“Great opportunity.”“What is?” I asked.“To talk,you and I,” he said “to hold a private little meeting about what were going to do with your mom and dad,and what were going to do with ourselves now that were in the situation we are in.”“But we cant do anything about it,Grandpa,” I said,surprised that here was someone with whom I could share my feeling and someone who was in the same “boat” as I was.And thats how the most unbelievable friendship between my grandfather and me started.Sitting there in the dark,we talked about our feelings and fears of life from how fast things change,to how they sometimes dont change fast enough.That night,because the power went out,I found a new friend,with whom I could safely talk about all my fears and pains,whatever they may be.Suddenly the lights all came back on.“Well,” he said “I guess that means youll want to go now.I really like our talk.I hope the power will go out
