There is much discussion today about whether economic growth is desirable. At an earlier period our desire for material wealth may have been justified. Now, however, this desire for more than we need is causing serious problems. Even though we have good intentions., we may be producing too much, too fast. Those who criticize economic growth argue that we must slow down. They believe that society is approaching certain limits on growth. These include the fixed supply of natural resources, the possible negative effects of industry on the material environment, and the continuing increase in the world’s population. As society reaches these limits, economic growth can no longer continue and the quality of life will decrease. People who want more economic growth, on the other hand, argue that even at the present growth rate there are still many poor people in the world. Besides, these proponents of economic growth believe that only more growth can create the capital needed to improve the quality of life in the world. Furthermore, they argue that only continued growth can provide the financial resources to protect our natural surroundings from industrialization. This debate over the desirability of continued economic growth is of vital importance to business and industry. If those who argue against economic growth are correct, the problem they mention cannot be ignored. To find a solution, economists and the business community must pay attention to these problems and continue discussing them with one another.

Passage 2 It’s inspiring that a number of students will be admitted to colleages free of charge this year on condition that they must work as a teacher in their own province for more than ten years. I would like to be one of these special students. In my opinion, receiving an education like that would not only reduce the expenses but also enable us to make contributions to our country’s education carerr. As we all know, fewer and fewer people are willing to be a teacher because of low pay and hard work, especially in the poor areas. It will be dangerous for the development of the teenagers and children in our country. So it’s necessary that large numbers of graduates of high qualities devote to the education career. On the other hand, teaching will be a valuable experience and make our lives meaningful. So, let’s apply for that and try our best to make efforts for the education of our country.

Passage 1

There is much discussion about the requirement that students should study in the classroom in the evening. There are many strong reasons against it. To start with, students should be given the freedom to arrangement their own time after class and no one has the reason and right to take away this freedom. Then there are practical difficulties. For example, students will disturb each other if they study in the same classroom, which may lead to poor effects. What’s more, each student has his own way to arrange his time in the evening and it is a waste of time to change his habit. For those students who live far away from school, there are also problems in convenience and safety. Therefore, I am totally against the requirement of the school. (133words)

Passage 2

To tell you the truth, I speak up for the requirement that students should study in the classroom in the evening. First of all, school is the best place to get knowledge and we can learn more during the period of time. Secondly, if we meet with some problems in our study, we can have a face-to-face discussion and turn to one another for help. Besides, studying together with other students in the classroom in the evening can make me form a good habit. I will do what I should do and must finish it within the limited time. Furthermore, some students lack the ability to control themselves. Once out of school, they may lose control of themselves and do something wrong that will influence their studies or even their future. Personally, the requirement of the school will greatly benefit us. (141words)
