Glad to share my structures of these issues. I will update my preparations every day. I will write some part in English to practice writing, and some part in Chinese since it is more directly to deliver my minds.
1、Althoughmost people wish to live long lives, attempting to significantly extend theaverage human life span would be a mistake. If achieved, this would place anenormous burden on resources, lowering the quality of life for everyone
First of all, the rule that “anyone willdie in the long run” naturally keeps the balance of the ecosphere. It won’tchange unless people someday no longer need food to sustain lives. Imaginesuddenly we can cure all the diseases to save everyone’s life, and thus it willbe no one dying from now on. The direct consequence is the population of ourplanet will increase dramatically. However, there are limited lands for us tocultivate food plants. There must be one day that we will not be able to feedeverybody. Finally people will die from hunger. This shows that the assumptionof nobody dying is not sustainable. So it is really unreasonable for any personto prospect that one day the life of human kinds will be prolonged to infinity. 但是，现在这个世界上，很多人都是由于疾病在很年轻的时候就死亡了。我认为提高这些人的生命长度不但不是错误，而且是个好的行为，是每一个医生都应该致力于做的事情。因为年轻生命的过早死亡，必然会给亲人带来伤痛，也会给社会带来负面影响。而且，一个人的一生，从20岁以下，可以说一直在索取。20-60岁之间，作为workforce的一部分，才真正创造财富。所以如果一个人20多岁就去世了，他们对社会的贡献就是负的。延长这些人的生命，有助于提高整个社会的综合竞争力。 但是，如果人能生活的更加长久，那么我们的社会会进步的更快。试想想哪些伟大的科学家、诗人和作曲家如果还都活着，那么这个世界会有更多的master piece. 而且，我们知道，人年龄越大往往越有智慧，所以人的平均寿命延长，有助于我们整个社会群体智慧的提高。 所以，在地球可以接受的范围内，我们还是需要范围内延长人的寿命。这一点可以通过攻克哪些夺取年轻人生命的疾病，而针对人口增加的问题，可以同时呼吁大家晚生孩子，少生孩子来弱化人口增加的影响，比如说中国就通过这一政策成功地限制了人口数量。
2.“Technology ultimately separates and alienatespeople more than it serves to bring them together.”Discuss the extent to which you agree ordisagree with the opinion stated above. Support your posit ion with reasonsand/or examples from your own experience, observations, or reading. 1. techonology 有时候确实是让人和人讲话少了。大家更多的用email，而不再用hands-on writing,更多的上网打游戏，use instant message不是face-to-face talking or hanging out。 2. techonology 却也拉近了人的距离，比如说很多人在网络上认识了，尽管一个在美国一个在中国，仍然有可能通过高科技随时交流，share their wisdoms. 很多跨国公司通过高科技实现了信息共享，比如我们公司，我经常去请教我们CBK的人员问题 through the lotusnotes system，但是他们locate 在不同的EY office，如果没有高科技很难想象我们能交流，提高工作效率。不仅仅是商业，在学习方面也有此情况。比如有很多的MBA programs已经是Online了，那些不方便去take on-campus learning 的人可以被brought together to learn in the online-class. 总结：Technology是好是坏，关键还是看人怎么用。作为一个进步的技术，我们应该欢迎它，但是也应该be aware not to become a website eccentric who does not talk toanyone in the real world. 3.“Location has traditionally been one of the most importantdeterminants of a business’s success. The importance of location is not likelyto change, no matter how advanced the development of computer communicationsand others kinds of technology becomes.” Discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the opinionstated above. Support your views with reasons and/or examples from your ownexperience, observations, or reading. 1.好的location无疑有着巨大的优势，一是好的location更多人才可以选择，比如说在大学云集的location，一个智慧密集型的企业更容易recruit thebest candidates；二是繁华地段客流量大。More customers, more business chances. 三是好的location一般比较容易转让，万一失败，还可以迅速把店面转让，不会砸在手里。 2.但是，随着技术和supply chain的进步，location的重要性在弱化。 一是网络的应用削弱了location的重要作用。上网订购，越洋购物。 二是物流的进步削弱了location的重要作用。快递、邮局。 3.而且好的location也意味着更高的rental fee and more intensive competitions. 所以说location虽然重要，但是它的重要性依然要看Businessnature等重要因素。
