2013年10月SAT写作真题：
Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and the assignment below.
Most people think that contentment—being happy with the way things are—is the perfect state of affairs. After all, what could be better than being so satisfied with how things are that you don’t want anything else? But contentment has disadvantages: if we are content with the way things are, we are not motivated to change things, to improve ourselves, or to do better. We must therefore always choose between being content and pushing ourselves to do better.
Does being content with the way things are prevent people from improving themselves and doing better? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations.

1. 题目翻译：
大多数人认为满足感，也就是对现状感到满意，是最佳的状态。毕竟什么能比安于现状、别无他求更好呢?但是满足感也有其劣势：如果我们安于现状，我们就没有动力去改变什么，去提升自己，或者做的更好。因此，我们必须总是在安于现状和追求更好之间做出抉择。
题目：安于现状会阻碍人们提升自己，追求更好吗?
2. 审题关键词：content, improve
3. 论证分析-各段核心提纲：
正：Being content with our lives means that we want nothing more than we already have. So there is no point of striving for more.
反：Being content does not necessarily means that we have everything. It probably means that we have a positive attitude towards life. Thus, we will have more desire to do better.
补：After all, the desire for improving ourselves is the ultimate momentum of contentment.
