　　Tobeginwith,TVmakespeoplemorepassivethanbefore:

　　Televisionalsocontributestothefactthatpeoplenowadaysaremoredistanttoeachother.SincemostofourfreetimeistakenawaybytheactofwatchingTV,wecannolongerfindenoughtimetovisitfriends,callonrelativesorgotointerestingplaces.Thisisalsotruewithinafamily,parentsandchildrenandothermembersarelessclosetoeachother,becausefamilyget-togethersandconversationsaredisturbedbyTV—whenonememberiswatchingTV,hewouldlikeotherstokeepquiet.

　　OfcourseIamnotdenyingthegreatconveniencesandhugebenefitstheTVbringsus,buttomakeitareallyblessingtous,weshouldtrytoavoiditsnegativeeffects.

　　Inaword,Ithinktelevisionisagreatinventionwhichisofgreatsignificancetotheevolutionofhumansociety.

　3.Supermarkets

　　Sincethefirstsupermarketemergedfiftyyearsago,ithasbecomethemostpopularshoppingcenterinmanylargecitiesaroundtheworld.InChina,supermarketsenjoyanincreasingpopularityamongcitydwellers,especiallythecommonpeoplewithlowincomes.

　　Comparedwithothertypesofstores,supermarketsaregettingpopularforseveralreasons.First,feweremployeesarerequiredinsupermarketsandmanagementcostisreduced.Second,almostallgoodsareshippeddirectlyfromtheproducersandsoldatconsiderablycheaperprices.Lastly,insupermarketsalmosteverykindofdailynecessityisavailableandplacedonopenshelves,sothecustomerscanchoosewhatevertheywantfromtheirshoppinglistandtaketheitemstothecheckoutcountereasily.Asaresult,insteadofvisitingmanystores,customerscangetthetiringshoppingtaskdonequicklyandfeelrelaxed.Whatismore,manysupermarketsstayopenverylateatnight,andprovidelargeparkingspaces.

4.IncomeSourcesofCollegeStudents

　　Accordingtotheinvestigationoftheincomesourcesofstudents,theincomeofAmericanandChinesestudentscomesfromparents,part-timejobandscholarship,However,thepercentageofeachincomeisquitedifferent,FiftypercentoftheAmericanstudentsincomecomesfromtheirparents,fifteenpercentcomesfromthescholarshipsgrantedbycollegesanduniversitiesandtherestcomesfrompart-timejobs.NinetypercentofChinesestudents'incomecomesfromtheirparents.

　　Inmyopinion,themainreasonsforthedifferenceisthatAmericanstudentsaretaughttobeindependentwhentheyareveryyoung,whileChinesestudentsaretakensuchgoodcareofthatitisverydifficultforthemtoliveontheirown.What'smore,Chinesestudentshavefeweropportunitiestofindpart-timejobs.

　　NowadaysmoreandmoreChinesestudentsareseekingpart-timejobs.Foronething,somestudentscomefrompoorareasandtheirparentscan'taffordthehighcostofeducation.Foranother,they'reeagertoacquiresomesocialskillsandearnsomemoneywhichwillhelpthemdomoreinschoolandliveindependently,ASfarasAmericanstudentsareconcerned,IthinkthesourcesofAmericanstudents'incomewillremainthesame.

5.Campuslove

　　Nowadays,campusloveispopular.Somecollegeteachersarguethatstudentsshouldgiveuploveforthesakeoflearning.Theymaintainthatloveistimeconsumingandinfluencesone’slearning.Somestudents,however,holdthatastudentwhofallsinlovewillstudyharderandwillmakegreaterprogress.Theydon'tbelievethatapersoninlovelagsbehindinhisstudies.

　　Therearedifferentkindsofloveoncampus.Somestudentsregardloveaskillingtimeoraddingcolor;somearepragmatic,thinkingit'sdifficulttofindabetterpartneraftergraduation;thepurposeofothersisforseekingtheimpetusofstudy.Anyhow,farawayfromhomeandalone,seekingfriendship,understandingandlove,theboysandgirlseasilyfindcomfortandappreciationfromoneanother.

　　Asamateroffact,loveisasharpdouble-bladedknife.Havingitwillmakeyouveryhappy;whilelosingit,youalwaysfeeldisappointedanddepressed.Whenthebondoflovebroken,goingonstudyingasusualorsinkinglamentorevenbeingcrazydependonus.Wewillnotletromanticentanglement（纠缠）interfere（妨碍）withourstudies.

　　Loveisanaturalandquiet.Duringtheprocessoflovewewillexperienceromanticlove,frustratingloveandcriticalloveandreallove.Truelovewillovercomeourpainanddismay,warmourheart,andsparkourspiritwithdelightforcesbutnotresistance.

6.Competitionandcooperation

　　Competitionisacommonphenomenoninoursociety.Wecompetewhenweplaygames,wetrytodobetterthanothersinourstudy,andthereisconstantcompetitionforjobs,fame,wealthandsoforth.Therefore,wecansaythat,inacertainsense,competitionisoneofthemotiveforcesofthedevelopmentofourmodernsociety.

　　Itisoftenbelieved,thatcompetitionandcooperationareinoppositiontoeachother.Somepeoplestresscompetition,withoutwhich,intheireyes,thereisnoresponsibility,nodriveandultimately,noprogress.Othersadvocatecooperationwhatevertheydo.Theyareoftheopinionthatthedependenceofpeopleononeanotherhasincreased,withoutwhichthesocietyweliveincannotkeepgoingsmoothly.Inreality,wefindthatinmanycasescompetitiongoeshandinhandwithcooperation.Letstakeafootballgameforexample.Duringthegame,oneteamiscompetingagainsttheother,buteachmemberoftheteammustcooperatewithhisteammates.Otherwise,theywouldlosethegamenomatterhowskillfuleachindividualplayermightbe.Itisclearthatcompetitionhasmuchtodowithcooperation.

　　AsfarasI'mconcerned,Idonotagreewiththeviewthatcompetitionandcooperationarealwaysinconflictwitheachother.Inmyopinion,whileadvocatingcompetition.Weshouldneverforgetcooperation.Inoursociallife,cooperationisespeciallynecessarybecausemostworkisfulfilledwithorthroughotherpeople.SoI’vecometotheconclusionthatcompetitionandcooperationareequallyimportant.
