24. Fast Food #J'V,_wH
Fast food is becoming more popular in China, especially among children and teenagers. Today, it's H#H[8#
certainly difficult to think of any other single thing that represents the fast pace of modern society as powerfully as fast food. w,*#z
There are several reasons for its popularity. First, it is very convenient and saves a lot of time. The trends of modern society seem to all point to one ultimate goal--saving time, and fast food well serves this purpose. You just go into a fast food restaurant, order your food, and your food is ready in no time. You can either eat it there or take it away. Second, its popularity is also attributed to the clean and comfortable environment of fast food restaurants, the excellent ervice, and the guaranteed quality of food. 7}L.(Jp9
However, in terms of nutrition, fast food is far from satisfactory. It usually does not compose a #EA` |
balanced diet and is low in nutritional value. Thus, doctors suggest that people, especially children, eat fast food as little as possible. Although cooking at home is time-consuming and the following washing-up tiresome, it offers healthy and delicious meals your body likes and needs. Fast food is only a good choice when you are in a hurry and turn to it once in a while cv5+[;(b

25. My Idea on How for Beijing to Prepare the 2008 World Olympic Games 7Y.mp9,
As a young student (cadre, engineer, technician), I am an active citizen in greeting the 2008 World Olympic Games. As its host, Beijing is now busy in propagating for its advent. MX"M2>" pT
Since it is the first time for Beijing to host such a world gathering, we are naturally short of experience. And since it involves so many aspects, the whole nation should be mobilized to participate in actively. Y)68
In facing the task, I have got some suggestions for its success: 1. Tours should be organized to go over the places such games have been held before to learn their positive experience; 2. Architectural qualities and financial contributions should be stressed to promote its success; 3. Careful calculations of costs and expenditures has to be done so as to avoid waste. Though I am just a small potato, I wish my suggestion would win t due attention from the authorities concerned . R$x(3eyx

26. On University Tuition System a in China X`C ozyYuD
Tuition system has become one of the hottest topics in China since it was put into effect. Different people have different opinions on it. q*<FfO=eQ
Some people think that there is no university in the world which is open to students without tuition. As far as China is concerned, it is a developing country with the largest population in the world. The government is unable to allocate enough funds to pay for various teaching facilities and many different kinds of expenses. One of the ways to relieve the problem is for students to pay tuition. The money raised in this way can be used to improve the conditions for running schools. Others, however, are opposed to the tuition system. They argue that the living standard of the Chinese people, especially of those in the poor rural areas, is still low, compared with that in the Western World. The university tuition will certainly add to the already heavy burden of the parents, |RH^|2:x9Q
who live on their salaries or wages. Moreover, tuition may become an obstacle to the development of China's higher education. This is because it hinders some talented people from entering the university just on account of their poverty. CG

27.What Would Happen if No Attention Paid to The Environmental Protection &,QBJx<#
With the development of our society, people want more convenience and comfort. Some European countries such as Switzerland and Sweden can be taken as good examples. =, 64Qbau
However, our environment has been seriously polluted. Many factories or farmlands not only polluted themselves but also bring about pollution to the whole society. Sewage water, poisonous gases and waste mineral material are now destroying our environment. V#+M lN
Facing the situation, I think, we must be aware of the long-lasting consequences of our actions. Strict laws must be imposed to punish those who pollute the environment. What is more important is for everybody to realize that only when we have a clean environment can we develop our economy in a healthy and sustainable manner for the future generations. =)%~Q

28.Women Should Be Let To Play A More Important Role In Our State Affairs xB_78X1
Women's social status has greatly changed since liberation. In spite of this, there still exists inequality between men and women in many ways. For example, we have many more men leaders in our government organs, factories and schools. No real equality can also be seen in the family. It is still often heard, "after all, women are women, they are not comparable to men". IN@ =UAc&
To win real equality, we should do at least the following: First, let all girls go to school and receive regular education. Second, equal pay for equal work must be made a law and principle to obey. Third, up-bringing children should be regarded as a contribution to the whole society. Last of all women scholars and political leaders should be let to play more decisive roles .. Iv{uk$^7S
29. The Role of Migrant Workers bSW~hyI w
Migrant workers have made a great contribution to the prosperity of cities. They leave their home-land for better chances. Some want to change their destiny, some want to make a fortune. Whatever the purposes they cherished when millions of them streamed into big cities, they have promoted the development of cities. ~X-v@a
Most of the migrant workers are hard working and unafraid of hardships. They take up the dirtiest, the most strenuous or dangerous jobs which city laborers are unwilling to do. With lots of building they have set up and streets they have kept clean, they have helped modernize and beautify cities. Not only have they become the main work force in the construction sector, they also have helped liberate city women from heavy housework chores by taking care of the babies, cleaning houses or providing any other services citizens need. &<Fw
Although some of the citizens complain about the increasing number of the problems such as theft, robbery a few of migrant workers have committed, most of the citizens agree that their contribution is obvious, and with better management, their role in the construction of cities will definitely be greater. geNvp0

30. The Effect of Decoding the Human Body $e%m=@ga
The Human Genome Project will revolutionize the detection, prevention and treatment of conditions of certain diseases. Genes help early detection of diseases and fix health problems, not just to predict them. Genetic medicines will be aimed at the causes of disease rather than the symptoms and doctors will start prescribing different treatments for different patients, depending on their genetic profiles. Many potential diseases will be cured before they arise. h$d`Jmaq
But decoding the book of life poses moral dilemmas. It threatens to undermine privacy and bring on genetic discrimination in marriage, insurance and employment. With knowledge of our genetic code, those who have got certain undesirable genes may be discriminated when choosing their spouses. If genetic tests predict mental dullness, short stature or other undesirable traits before babies are born, the society may look down upon children whose parents let them be born , the society may look down upon children whose parents let them be born with those traits. Employers may take your genetic profile before they offer you a job. r@CbhD
In my opinion, the completion of the Human Genome Project is a great breakthrough in human history. It will change the way we live and even the way we think about who we are to prevent genetic discrimination, in insurance and in employment based on genetic tests. [M?&JA
