Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and the assignment below.
Many people believe that our behavior should be consistent, that we should always be ourselves. They feel that we should not act one way with some people and another way with others. But is this right? Should our behavior always be consistent, or should we behave differently in different situations? Isn't behaving differently according to the people we are with or the situation we are in simply a matter of politeness and common sense?
Should people change their behavior depending on what situation they are in? 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.

很多人认为我们的行为应当是一致的。我们应当总是做我们自己。他们认为我们不应当对一些人这样表现而对其他人另一种表现。但这样正确吗?我们应当行为一直还是在不同场合表现不同?难道根据和不同人、不同情况表现不同不仅仅是礼貌和常识吗?

Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and the assignment below.
No one knows how the future will turn out. Faced with this uncertainty, some people choose to live as though the only thing that matters is now. Instead of planning for the future, they devote their energy to enjoying the present. How misguided! They should spend their time today preparing for the future. Knowledge, skills, and resources they work to acquire now will serve them long after the pleasures of today they are forgotten.
Is preparing for the future more important than enjoying the present? 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：
没人知道未来将会怎样。面对这样的不确定，有些人选择把现在当初唯一重要的事。他们把所有的能量放在享受现在，而不是规划未来上。这是多么愚蠢的做法!他们应当把今天的时间用在准备未来上。他们今天所得的知识、技能和资源将会使他们受用不尽，远比今天遗忘的愉悦更加持久。
题目：规划未来比享受现在更重要吗?
2. 审题关键词：future, now
3. 论证分析-各段核心提纲：
正：Preparing for the future means that you have a clear goal for the future and you are working towards it. That way, you can be more careful with your time.
反：Tomorrow is full of uncertainty. Nobody can ever be sure of his future. Thus, it is pointless to waste the time on planning for it.
补：We should neither spend too much time on enjoying the present or preparing for the future. People cannot have a good life without a clear goal or substantial actions.

Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and the assignment below.
Everything a public figure or celebrity says or does is likely to turn up on an Internet site or a television show. The great appeal of these sites and shows is that they help us learn as much as possible about public figures. The more we know about political candidates, for example, the more informed we are as voters. Much of the information, however, is irrelevant and actually prevents us from focusing on the issues that matter.
Does having too much information about public figures distract us from the important issues? 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：
公众人物和名人所说和所做得任何事情都可能在网上或电视上出现。这类网站和节目的吸引力在于帮助我们知道更多公众人物的事情。比如我们对政治家候选人知道的越多，我们选举的时候掌握的信息就会越多。然而很多的信息却是无关的。它们实际上阻碍了我我们关注重要的事情。
题目：知道太多公众人物的信息会让我们更难关注重要的事情吗?
2. 审题关键词：information, distract
3. 论证分析-各段核心提纲：
正：TV shows and websites need to attract more attention on themselves. Thus, they will try as they can to post information that is appealing to eyes, but not important in essence.
反：Without these websites and shows, politicians might feel free to do evil things. So no matter how relevant the information is, it is a good way to supervise public figures.
补：But we still need to protect their privacy.
