Some of the activities, such as hiking, jogging, can help people relax physically; while some of them, such as surfing the Internet, can help people relax mentally.48.

The reason for it lies in the fact that the government has been attaching great importance to provide more opportunities for citizens to explore and get access to the knowledge world.51. As far as I am concerned, I am absolutely in favor of this practice. First and foremost, ordinary people are allowed to enter the museums to enjoy the displays freely. Moreover, kids and teenagers can learn about knowledge in the museums out of the classroom.52. However, everything can be divided into two. The negative aspects are also apparent. 53. Nowadays, theres an increasing number of household in China that has an only one child. Most of parents love and care for children so much that children has less chances to deal with problems by themselves. Consequently, children get used to depending on their parents in everything and lack of ability to solve problems independently, which is bad for their growing.54.

The first disadvantage is that the consumers cant see the goods or try them on personally. The second disadvantage is that some shops on the Internet are not registered. They will never deliver anything to you after they get the money from you. Once cheated, you will find that you have nowhere to go to complain.59. In my opinion, on-line shopping creates both merchants and consumers an efficient and economical way of selling or buying commodities, so it should be encouraged. 60.

Taking all these factors into consideration, we naturally come to the conclusion. 64. With the development of science and technology, more and more people believe that computers are playing an important role in our life 65. All in all, we cannot live without it. But at the same time we must try to find out new ways to cope with the problems that would arise. 66. Obviously, if we dont control the problem, the chances are that it will lead us in danger.67. It is urgent that immediate measures should be taken to stop the situation. 68. From my point of view, it is more reasonable to support the first opinion rather than the second. 69. People have figured out many ways to solve this problem. 70. There are three reasons for the changes that have taken place in our life. Firstly, peoples living standard has been greatly improved.
