12、hose in need are accused of causing the harm. Blackmail and wrongful charges are making people increasingly reluctant to give their helping hands. In reaction to such situation, people wonder what kinds of measures can be taken in order to protect the fights of helpers. As far as I am concerned, hel
13、pers should be protected through both education and legislation. First of all, helpers will be better protected when people are educated to support their actions.

14、cident of “Xiao Yueyue“ has attracted public attention because people cannot understand how it was possible that the 18 people passing by had failed to help an injured girl. I think the reason behind this is that people are used to taking care of their own benefitshow much time it will take to take
15、the girl to the hospital, how much money will be spent and how much trouble it might causethese overwhelming thoughts prevent them from helping those in need. As most people are not willing to help others, helpers would be left isolated and unsupported, which makes them more vulnerable to ill-intent
16、ioned blackmail. In order for the helpers to be protected, we should educate all people that helping others is not only a demonstration of kindness, but also a basic obligation as a human being. When more people understand this and join the helpers, they will surely be better protected. Secondly, he
17、lpers should also be protected through legislation. In order to make sure that the fights of helpers are protected, many countries have already made relative laws. For example, in the United States, helpers will have immunity during a selfless action of helping others and won“t be faced with wrongfu
18、l charges if any harm is caused during the help. In Singapore, there is also a law that if the helped blackmails his helper, he will have to give his apologies in person, face a fine up to three times worth of his medical expenses and might even be charged with the crime of false accusation.

23、d as our human civilization. While I acknowledge the concerns about animal torture and maltreatment, I believe we could keep animals as pets. First of all, keeping pets is beneficial to shape the owners“ characteristics and temperament. To take good care of pets, we must be responsible, caring, comp
24、assionate and considerate. Take keeping a dog in the house for example. It is unlike keeping a piece of furniture, still and motionless. Rather, the dog runs around, barks, wags its tail and sometimes gets sick. It urges you to interact with it and put its well-being into consideration. Thus, the em
25、otional bond between you and the pet is strengthened every time you feed it, play with it and feel upset about its illness.

27、the field, the chance for their survival will be hanging by a thread. Living in a household, the pets receive a safe shelter, constant supply of food and thoughtful care. All of these have earned them a better living condition than their wild counterparts. As we know, some animals are inherently wea
28、k, such as rabbits. Once set free, they might be reduced to the prey of ferocious wolves. If we do care about them, we“d better take the control and keep them as pets. Whilst I am in favor of keeping animals as pets, I also urge those future pet owners to think twice before making a decision. No one

35、perate housewives stuck with petty chores, or the miserable wives doing their husbands“ bidding. They are the confident and serf-sufficient ladies, who are brave enough to compete and make their voices heard. In other words, beauty contests lead to the positive image and the subsequently improved co
36、nditions of women. What“s more, entering or even winning a beauty contest is a national pride for the contestants“ home countries.

37、ast Asian region.

Nonetheless, we a
38、re aware that some people are concerned about the narrow-mindedness of the contests and doubt the judges are mainly looking at physical appearance. It is true that physical qualities are prioritized in beauty contests. However, beauty pageants never underestimate the importance of intellect. On the
39、contrary, beauty and wisdom are two symbolic words which are frequently quoted to describe contestants. If no one ever criticizes the sprint games as narrow-minded for it only judges the speed of athletes, we are not justified to blame beauty pageants when they set beauty as an important standard. A

43、 for your essay. （分数：20.00）_正确答案：()解析：范文 Entry to Museums Should Be FreeThe Palace Museum in Beijing is preserving Chinese history.

44、ase public exposure to cultural knowledge and fuel the growth of the pillar industries. First of all, free access to museums encourages people to learn more. When we have a vague interest in a new field, our curiosity can be satisfied by visiting various kinds of free museums. We don“t have to feel

46、ntry fee may discourage people to explore new things and may deprive them of an opportunity to broaden their horizons.
