Recently some people suggest that the be
11、st way to tell whether a friend is true or not is to ask him to lend you some money and see how he reacts to it. I think such an opinion is absurd. The genuineness of a friend cannot be judged by whether he lends you money or not since the money-lending situation can be complicated and the economic
12、status of different friends may vary. To start with, a friend cannot always lend you money because the reasons why you need the money can be various. A good friend would always judge whether he is helping you in the right way. For example, if you need money for a book or for the registration of a ne
13、w course, a true friend is surely supposed to help you out. But if your purpose of borrowing the money is potentially hazardous, a true friend will certainly refuse to lend you the money. To make it detailed, if you are known to have drug problems or, say, addicted to gambling, a good and righteous
14、friend would not lend any money because he knows that he would be adding fuel to the flame. A true friend has his own judgment about right and wrong and would try to prevent you from doing silly things or hurting yourself. Before lending you any money, he would always think of your benefits. Additio
15、nally, a friend may not be able to lend you money out of economic reasons. It is natural that sometimes you go through personal economic crisis, having to narrow the expending and even borrow money from other people. What you have to bear in mind is that ff you are experiencing a tight budget, your
16、friend may also be faced with economic problems at the same time. It would be unfair if you decide that your friend is untruthful to you simply because he does not have enough money to lend you. Friends try hard to help one another. But when there is nothing a friend can do to help, you should alway
17、s remain reasonable. In conclusion, judging a friend by whether he is willing to lend you money is partial and arbitrary. Judging a person by whether he lends you money quickly enough or not is the way to find a banker, not a friend. 本题属于“支持与反对型”论说文，涉及的题材是“人际交往”。该题要求考生就是否赞成“衡量真朋友的方式是看他们对你借钱请求的反应”提出个
18、人的看法。按照题目的要求，可谋篇布局如下： 开头：指出朋友的真诚不应建立在金钱的关系上。 主体：分两方面阐述原因。 1朋友不可能随时都爽快借钱，因为借钱的原因不得而知。详细叙述正面原因与负面原因的两个借钱情况。真朋友不一定都要马上借钱给你，有时候反而是害你。 2朋友也可能由于经济原因无法借钱。有时候，真朋友并非不愿意借钱，而是他们手头也拮据，无法效劳。我们不能因此就指责对方不够朋友。 结尾：重申观点，爽快借钱的人不是朋友，是银行家。2.4,000 RMB or No Dates要么有 4000 元，要么不约会 As a recent survey indicates, over 80% Chi

21、mportant in maintaining a relationship. In my opinion, the reason why Chinese girls now are outspoken about the salary threshold to their pursuers lies in that salary is the basis of successful dates and a promising future. To start with, acceptable monthly salary serves as the basis of successful d
22、ates. It is unarguable that with the soaring price of almost everything, money has already become a main concern when it comes to dating, the first phase of a relationship. In fact, dating often involves comparatively high level of expenses which may not be affordable for those with low salaries. Fo
23、r example, movies, decent restaurants, free coffee houses and traffic expenses all compose a necessary and expensive part of dating. Moreover, increasing trend of commercialization of festivals also means that young lovers have to spend more money in celebrating these festivals. For instance, young
24、people often have to spend a lot of money in buying their lovers nice gifts on Valentine“s Day, Chinese Valentine“s Day, Christmas, New Year“s Day, etc. Failing to do this often means failing to please the girls they adore. Therefore, to have great dates, one important thing is to have enough money.
25、 Secondly, a good salary also promises a better future to deepen a relationship. If all go smoothly, lovers will have to consider getting married one day, which often leads to complicated procedures and often rigorous requirements. Nowadays, these procedures and requirements usually cost a lot of mo
26、ney. With a decent income and a considerable economic foundation, many related issues such as housing and wedding ceremony can be much easier. On the contrary, without a good salary, it may be very difficult for young lovers to form a new family. Out of all these practical concerns, it is understand
27、able that a girl sets up a salary threshold for her future boyfriend in order to make their relationship more promising. In conclusion, economic concern is an important factor in the development of a relationship from dating to marriage. Although talking about money might seem unacceptable, we have
28、to acknowledge that setting up a salary threshold, when starting a relationship, is sadly a natural choice for many Chinese girls. 本题属于“现象解释型”论说文，涉及的题材是“人际交往”。该题要求考生对“超过收入门槛才能约会”这一社会现象的原因做出解释。按照题目的要求，可谋篇布局如下： 开头：提出观点对于现代人而言，物质基础对恋爱关系来说是很重要。 主体：分两方面阐述原因。 1像样的月收入是成功约会的前提。约会通常意味着比较高的消费，这样的消费低工资的人是无力承担的
29、。随着节日的日益商业化，恋人们还花很多钱来庆祝各个节日。 2高收入有助于恋爱关系的未来发展。恋爱关系发展到谈婚论嫁的程度时，双方就要面临很多现实的问题。有了一定的经济基础，这些问题就比较容易解决。从实际的方面来讲，女生给未来的男友设定最低工资标准是可以理解的。 结尾：重申观点，要想恋爱修成正果，好的经济基础是很重要的。3.Birds of Different Features Can Also Flock Together不同兴趣爱好的人也能聚一起 “Birds of a feather flock together.“ In some self-help books about making

31、atures Can Also Flock TogetherAs the saying goes, “Birds of a feather flock together.“ It is true that people with common interests are more likely to become friends. However, I believe that birds of different feathers can also flock together. People with different interests, characters and even att
32、itudes towards life can also become good friends. To begin with, people of different kinds can get along with each other as well as those with the same interests. As an impulsive and quick-tempered person, I myself am surrounded by quite a few friends who are calm and cool-headed. Should any disagre
33、ement arise, we always convince ourselves to be more tolerant and still much enjoy the company of each other. There may be fewer quarrels among people who uphold a similar life philosophy, but it does not mean that people with different values are absolutely incompatible. Take Samantha and Charlotte
34、, two good friends in the TV series Sex and the City for example. While Samantha has an open and bold mind on romantic relationships between men and women, Charlotte considers sexual relationships as a serious issue to be talked about only under the table. Despite their opposite attitudes toward sex
35、, they can still get on well by putting themselves in the shoes of each other. What is more, friendship can be developed between people with different characters as well. With the availability of information resources on TV and the Internet, people are acquainted with whatever they used to be unfami
36、liar with, thus facilitating communication among people of diverse interests. With communication comes mutual understanding, which without doubt helps to establish a friendship. In addition, the benefits of interacting with “people with different interests also lead to the establishment of a friends
37、hip. As is known, people of different interests can usually stimulate creative ideas in a conversation and intrigue their companions to learn new things and keep an open mind to different viewpoints. Hence communication between people of different interests is helpful to broaden one“s horizon and to
38、 develop more insightful and more sensible attitudes toward life. That“s why more and more people nowadays are willing to make friends with those with diverse hobbies and temperaments. To conclude, while birds of a feather flock together, birds of different feathers can also get on well and make fri
39、ends with each other. True friendship is contingent upon mutual tolerance, sufficient understanding and timely support, regardless of their different interests, personalities or attitudes towards life. 本题属于“支持与反对型”论说文，涉及的题材是“人际交往”。题目要求考生就“与意趣相投的人交友”提出个人看法。按照题目的要求，可谋篇布局如下： 开头：由俗语“物以类聚，人以群分”入题，指出不同兴趣爱
40、好的人也能聚一起。 主体：分两方面阐述论点。 1不同兴趣爱好的人也能和平相处交朋友。举自身的例子和电视剧欲望都市的例子，说明只要设身处地为对方着想，即使性格相异也能和睦相处。 2不同兴趣爱好的人也可以建立友谊。指出电视与网络信息的普及促进了兴趣相异的人之间的交流与友情的建立。再者，相异兴趣领域的人之间的交流所产生的好处也使人们愿意和不同兴趣爱好的人交朋友。 结尾：重申观点，意趣相异的人也能共处。4.Public Display of Affection公众场所亲热 Some universities in China set up a rule that students are not al

A couple is encircled by candies, whi
43、ch form a heart-shaped circle, and at the encouragement of the passers-by, they kiss and hug affectionately. However, this vivid display of affection is discouraged by some colleges, and the lovers might be expelled. In my view, we should allow students the freedom of public display of affection (PD
44、A) in its mild forms, but not in its strong forms. To begin with, displaying affection in an appropriate manner will contribute to the intensity and stability of the relationship. Public display of affection, by definition, entails mild forms and strong forms. Holding hands, hugging and brief kissin
45、g fall into the category of mild forms. If students choose to exhibit their love through mild forms of physical intimacy, as depicted above, I think university authorities should not restrict these behaviors. College students are adults, who have an acute sense and sensibility. As whether displaying
46、 affection in public remains an individual choice, there is no point making PDA “illegal“ as long as it doesn“t make others embarrassed or uncomfortable. For example, a goodbye kiss is a way to show respect to the beloved one without seeming disrespectful to anyone else. Instead of totally banning P
47、DA, the university authorities should lay emphasis on developing students“ appropriate attitude towards love, and raising their awareness of being considerate to others. While I am in support of the mild forms of PDA, I am not suggesting that students can show off their love by taking some extreme forms of physical intimacy, which is better savored in private. Students may enjoy
