Bill Gates, Warren Buffett and Richard Branson are all billionaire businessmen who not only have made their fortunes through fair and legitimate means, but also enjoy meaningful relationships with others and have a passion for the endeavors in which they partake .
Without close personal relationships with family and friends, life would become empty and devoid of meaning. Every dollar we earned would be worthless if we had no companions with whom to share our ups and downs, highs and lows, joys and sorrows. In addition to loving relationships, genuine success also requires a fulfilling vocation or some kind of raison d'etre. Some people are born into rich families or generate substantial wealth through lucky circumstances, such as buying a winning lottery ticket. Despite being wealthy, these individuals would not qualify as successful unless they had a career or purpose in life to keep them occupied and nurture their souls.
As captured in the title and lyrics of American singer Ralph Tresvant's song "Money can't buy you love", true companionship cannot be bought at any price.
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay commenting on the saying " Enthusiasm for sports should be promoted in children's education." You can give one example or two to illustrate your point of view. You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.
Enthusiasm for sports is of tremendous benefit to young people and should be promoted as an integral(不可分割的)part of their education.
The main reason for promoting enthusiasm for sports among youngsters is to encourage them to lead a healthy lifestyle. To illustrate, exercising and playing sports can have huge benefits for a person's strength, agility and fitness, as well as helping to reduce stress and improve the immune system. Another reason that schools should foster young children's interest in sports is to instill in them the values of teamwork and sportsmanship. To demonstrate, enthusiasm for sports in general, whether individual or team-based, can teach children how to be sportsmanlike in competitive circumstances, including playing by the rules and being gracious(得体的)in either victory or defeat. A final reason for promoting enthusiasm for sports in children is to enhance their sense of national pride. A case in point is that children who develop a stronger sense of national pride will be more willing to serve society and look after their country when they grow up to be adults.
By fostering enthusiasm for sports as part of children's education, society can ensure a generation of healthy, sportsmanlike and patriotic citizens. (198 words)
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay based on the picture below. You should focus on whether there is substitute for innovation. You are required to write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.
As is symbolically illustrated in the cartoon, a boss is teaching his staff the most vital rule, which is "There is no substitute for innovation"! It is obvious that only through innovation can we make progress and conservatism means regression.
The purpose of the drawing is to show us that utmost importance should be attached to innovation and creativity. To begin with, an attitude of innovation could be said to be the watchword, or motto of science. Think of all the innumerable times a scientific experiment must be carried out, all the laboratory tests, all the live trials, before a new medicine or vaccine is discovered. In addition, innovation is also responsible for many of today's business successes. For instance, I personally worked with such a company and its entrepreneur. It was only after four years and four different tries of varying business models that he finally found success, and went to become the chairman of one of the largest Internet companies.
To sum up, in any field of endeavor, whether it be in medicine, engineering or in business, it seems necessary to first put great emphasis on innovation before one can finally reach success. (195 words)
