I67--动物保护 求拍

冷月钟笛

67. Some people believe that society should try to save every plant and animal species, despite the expense to humans in effort, time, and financial well-being. Others believe that society need not make extraordinary efforts, especially at a great cost in money and jobs, to save endangered species.
Write a response in which you discuss which view more closely aligns with your own position and explain your reasoning for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position, you should address both of the views presented.
1.    应该尽力保护动物，因为有价值，有责任
2.    不能不惜一切代价保护动物，要量力而行
3.    不能无区别保护动物，应以实际情况出发，选择性保护


The protection of living species is a long-lasting topic for us human beings. Some people consider it worth paying anything to save any living things, no matter from what reasons, while some people believe that it is unreasonable for the whole society to make exorbitant efforts on this issue with respect to the titanic costs. I concede both of their opinions are worth thinking about carefully, but I tend to the latter standing more than the interior.


Now many living things have been extinct, and maybe many others are dying right at this moment. As many people consider, these endangers of animals and plants are partially or even mainly caused by our human activities, like the pollution we made, the excess hunting and other terrible deeds. Therefore, they suppose we humans bear a responsibility to compensate the faults we made before to protect and keep the other living things a better life, and surely it is correct. Other people may also consider that, as the superior species in the earth, we human beings should not only consider our own well-being but take care of other creatures as well, let alone the merits and values of the species diversity. These reasons are all fairly convincing, making the protection so urgent that any payments made is worthy.


Although it is generally true that we human beings should really act to guarantee a better life for other living creatures, it does not make sense that we should do anything without considering whether we can tolerate the cost or not. After all, some payment could be too large for us to bear, such as the well-being of people. Given a situation that the living zones of humans and of the animals are seriously overlapped, and we cannot co-exist with them, what should we do? Migrate our city to somewhere else? Regardless of the huge costs, this measure simply cannot make sense since there may be no more area suitable the settlement for people, let alone the splendid culture we created there. In this light, such expensive payments are simply too exorbitant for us, maybe fairly beyond our tolerance, and people should act based on their ability.


Moreover, not any living species are worth our protection, given the existence of the harmful ones. Issue like trespass of external species is always a horrible harm to the whole bio-system, making the protection to this species meaningless. Euphorbia follows, for example, in the grass field now spread in a fast speed, kill the animals eating it and deprive the nutrient of other plants for living. With respect to such harmful species, the blind protection is unreasonable.


In sum, despite the protection of species generally valuable, we should also make a case-by-case scrutiny on it in order to elude the unreasonable cases considering the payments on it, and the possible effects. The extreme goal for us, as Michael Jackson sings, is to achieve a better living place, and create a better day for all the living things.

根据你的第五点总结，你的重点是大多数是需要救的，那么你应该先说应该救的原因（2,3,4），再说有些情况没有办法救，这样就看起来比较顺。

嗯……那我注意调整一下组织了

发一下我的提纲：
1.不应该救：
1.1进化淘汰等自然因素难以抗拒
1.2even保存下来了也不过是实验室中，不算真正的保存
1.3潜在影响，e.g危害其他物种
2.However, 救可能是带来巨大利益的：濒危植物抗癌之类
3.人类影响widespread, 有责任
4.即便看起来一无是处，也有间接价值：生态系统稳定性，生物间相互作用。细小积累、连锁反应导致系统崩溃
5.In conclusion, 有一些没办法救，But,大多数是需要救的
可选择的点：
人类的两种职责：
不只作为一个物种和其他的物种并行竞争发展，实际上更可以主导或cooperate,去维护一个更好的世界

所以俺喜欢你的风格，呵呵。

我也挺喜欢开门见山的~

是，中国人习惯跟美国人不一样。美国人喜欢开门见山，不喜欢含蓄。
