8、th Peer Pressure? On the way of growth, there is inevitably the time when you feel pressured by your peers to do something that you might not usually choose to do. For example, a few classmates at school might try to get you to cut class with them; your soccer friends might try to persuade you to be

9、 mean to another player and never pass him the ball; or a group of buddies in the neighborhood might want, you to try cigarettes with them. Here arises the question: how should you respond to these, or more serious cases if you do not want to give in to the peer pressure? The following are a few pra

10、ctical tips for you. First of all, pluck up courage and stand your ground. It is tough to be the only one in a group who says “no“ to the peer pressure, but you can do it. Sticking to your own feelings and beliefs about telling what is right and wrong can help you to do so. Inner strength and self-c

11、onfidence can help you stand firm, and resist any temptation. Besides, remember that a real friend doesnt say “Ill be your friend if you. “ ; instead, a real friend says “Ill be your friend and accept you whoever you are“. True friendships endure despite disagreements, so dont sacrifice your princip

12、les. Meanwhile, ally yourself with peers sharing similar values or interests. For one thing, its great to have friends with values similar to yours who will back you up when you dont want to do something. They are willing to say “no“ to others with you, which will give you a lot of power to get out

13、of peer pressure and makes it much easier for you to resist. For another, if you pal with peers or classmates with similar interests and choose friends who dont cut class or smoke, then you probably wont feel much pressure to do these things either. If you continue to face peer pressure and find it

14、difficult to handle on your own, talk to someone you trust. Dont feel guilty if youve made a mistake or two. Keeping it inside and carrying your worries around can make things even harder to deal with. On the contrary, talking to a parent, a teacher, or a school counselor can help you feel much bett

15、er and prepare you for the next time when you face peer pressure. To sum up, you can resist the negative influence of peer pressure by sticking to your principles, finding allies and seeking help from your elders. The bottom line is that you need to feel good about yourself and be willing to make yo

16、ur own decisions rather than follow anyone blindly. 【知识模块】 作文 2 【正确答案】 On Criticism Criticism is a necessary component dunng ones lifetime, which cant be avoided in our daily work and study. Some people emphasize the significance of criticism and believe it is a powerful incentive to perfect one per

17、son, while others highlight the efficacy of its negative effects to far exceed that of its positive effects. As for my view, the former proposition is more reasonable than the latter. First of all, the courage to accept criticism keeps one powerful inside. It is normal for people to be subject to cr

18、iticism. Confusing criticism with defeat, one is doomed to feel frustrated and will easily fail in many situations. Actually, it isnt criticism that makes you fail. Instead, your own fear and refusal to admit mistakes make everything worse. Criticism and adversity make a man wise and heart strong. F

19、actors such as self-confidence and ambition, combined with determination and willpower, contribute to eventual success. If you try to learn something from others criticism and then to analyze the problem, your strong heart will be built, which helps you to form a positive attitude and provides you w

20、ith great courage to face a series of challenges later. Further, I hold the view that whatever is worth doing is worth doing well, and recognizing the problem is the first step in solving it. We should appreciate anyone who puts forward criticism, which means we win one more opportunity to correct t

21、he errors. In accordance with an old Chinese saying, a good medicine tastes bitter. Obviously, it is not easy to accept criticism, but in order to find out our shortcomings and inadequacies, we should take others criticism seriously, instead of feeling annoyed or turning a deaf ear to it. Every succ

22、ess achieved by analyzing criticism is more meaningful, because it gives us new and greater strength to achieve the final goals and avoid the same mistakes in the future. In a nutshell, criticism is as good as bitter medicine and should be valued highly. A person who can accept criticism modestly wi

23、ll stand a better chance of success, because on the one hand, he has learned how to keep a strong inner world to face all the challenges, and on the other hand, being perfect in every single field is the final result of avoiding the same mistakes. 【知识模块】 作文 3 【正确答案】 Can Chinese Ancient Classics Impr

24、ove Our Morality? No one can deny the fact that Chinese ancient classics are treasure of national cultural heritage, and they normally reflect the social phenomena and problems based on which they are created. So many scholars highlight the significance of Chinese ancient classics study, and they su

25、pport the view that Chinese ancient classics can improve our morality, but there are still some people deprecating the view above. Considering these two totally different arguments, I completely agree with the opinion that Chinese ancient classics can improve our morality by analyzing two main chara

26、cters of our ancient classics. Firstly, Chinese ancient classics possess the nature of philosophy. I conceive that to produce aesthetic characteristics of philosophy and to give pleasure are the highest ends of any ancient classic, because the philosophy and pleasure are produced from tonic art work

27、s. Chinese great thinker Lao Tzu is known for his work Tao Te Ching, and it can be said that the doctrine of Lao Tzu have influenced all the Chinese traditional culture. In his magnum opus, Lao Tzu raises the philosophical definition of Taoism, which reflects his piety to nature and natural law. Thr

28、ough reading and learning Too Te Ching, Chinese people prefer to obey the rules and regularize their behavior to avoid making mistakes, because they deeply understand that they are the human beings who live in an orderly world and should improve their morality by understanding and obeying the rules

29、in this world. So there is no doubt that Chinese ancient classics can improve our morality. Secondly, Chinese ancient classics possess the nature of education. The Analects is Confucius master work, in which his teachings and wisdom can be found. For example, there are some popular sentences that ne

30、arly all the Chinese people can recite, like the sentence “ Look at nothing that is not consistent with the proprieties, listen to nothing that is not consistent with the proprieties. say nothing that is not consistent with the proprieties and to do nothing that is not consistent with the proprietie

31、s. “ and the sentence “ Do unto others as you would be done. “ We have been taught to avoid doing the things which concern others privacy and to learn to see, to listen, to say and to do something in proper ways. And at the same time, we must consider the fact that it is immoral to impose your willi

32、ngness on others. Under the guidance of these two philosophical sentences, we know how to control our behavior, which can absolutely improve our morality. Through the analysis above, I can come to the conclusion that Chinese ancient classics can regularize and improve peoples behavior by philosophic

33、al and educational teachings, and thus, it plays an important role in our daily behavioral morality. 【知识模块】 作文 4 【正确答案】 Belief The function of belief in our society is quite obvious, and the following are a few aspects where it plays an irreplaceable role. On the one hand, belief can help us go thro

34、ugh difficult times. We simply can not expect an obstacle-free path before reaching our destination. In the course of our life, there will be difficulties or even times when we think it would be impossible for us to move forward. For example, a businessman whose ideas can not be accepted by the mark

35、et, who runs out of money at the middle of his business plan, or a researcher whose experiment gets stuck and seems impossible to produce any measurable result would be confronted with this difficult situation. And the list can really go on and on, and we can all relate to one of the pictures presen

36、ted at some point. At this moment, if we have a strong belief in our heart, we will finally get out of the darkness and reach our goals with the support and guidance of the strong motivational power. On the other hand, belief can serve as the aim and the purpose of our life in case we feel lost. Lif

37、e can be reduced to a course to achieve the goal one has set up initially with great efforts. If this is the case, we may be faced with great difficulties before reaching our goals, and it is likely that we will feel at sea. If life is always the pursuit of the next goal, what would happen when we h

38、ave finished all our goals? This would happen to a successful businessman who seems to have possessed everything he had dreamed of, and this would also be the case of those people who fail to actually find their own ways and instead just move around as they are told. We can also think of many other

39、occasions when the aim and the purpose are missing for an otherwise complete life. What we need at that time is exactly belief. We need to understand not only what we are doing, but also, more importantly, why we are doing all those things. Moreover, belief can also provide us with a system for judg

40、ment when we think there is nothing we cannot do. There used to be a wide-spread cartoon describing the result when people lack a belief system. In the cartoon, a bunch of well-dressed business people are having a meeting, and one raises a question that seems to be impossible to answer, “ Can we cal

41、l in someone who can tell the right from the wrong?“ These people are experts in their own fields when it comes to business opportunities and financial reward, but a simple judgment of right or wrong stands in their way. And what they lack here is a belief system to provide them with the urgently-ne

42、eded criteria for judgment. There is also an urgent ne.ed for the inclusion of belief, moral and judgment in our educational system so that we will not produce those experts without belief. From the above analysis, we can come to a natural conclusion that belief is really something that we can not l

43、ive without. 【知识模块】 作文 5 【正确答案】 On the Pursuit of New Things The confident years brought and reinforced by modern science and technology have been witnessing a vehement aspiration for something new among people from the latest model and the most recent version, to the newest and the most improved fo

44、rmula in almost all fields. Our obsession with newness even stretches from material goods to cultural values. Some say this wave of welcoming novelty constantly propels the development of human civilization while others disapprove. From my point of view, this fascination benefits the advance of huma

45、n civilization both in material and spirit. Materially, fervent pursuit of something forever new is beneficial to economic growth. Money spent on new products has been reaching a rocketing height. This is definitely a shot of adrenaline to the economy, especially the sluggish one. It is estimated th

46、at billions of dollars are spent each year on electronic gadgets such as renewed versions of iPad and iPhone. This case in point shows how the hunt for newer, better and more convenient goods brings benefits to both the manufacturers and consumers. On the perspective of spirit, quest for innovation

47、widens our horizon and promotes intelligence development. Firstly, new schools of thought in various realms are hailed and welcomed. New art forms are tried and experienced in metropolises. New cultural values are redressed and recognized in an unprecedented pace. For example, some western festivals

48、 such as Halloween and Valentines Day are celebrated with great enthusiasm in China, which definitely should be viewed as a symbol of embracing alien culture. Rather than as a cultural invasion, we should view and cuddle this newness with an open mind. Besides, the production of new versions of good

49、s calls urgently for the development of science and technology which in turn spurs our sagacity. For example, the intelligence involved in the process of manufacturing brand new goods, such as the originality and the wild imagination invested in designing, the persistence in trial and error when putting the new products into practice, and the scrutiny and introspection of the feedback information on certain goods after they are launched into the market, all these qualities triggered off by innovation give
