Directions:
It has been more than 30 years since man first landed on the moon. Some people think that space research is a waste of money. Write an essay of no less than 250 words.
范文（1）
    When it comes to the issue of space research, people vary in their views. Some journalists or free lancers maintain that it is a waste of money. However, through decades of practice and observation, it proves that this comment has many limitations.
    Admittedly, the idea that space research is a waste of money does contain an element of truth. But the people who criticize the rising cost of space exploration tend to ignore two other essential aspects. To begin with, a nation can make the best use of its technology in space plans to serve the need of other countries. Therefore, the country in its space research can profit greatly from data exchange or rocket launching. In this sense, the financial return from the space plans will possibly far exceed the amount of the investment. What is more, through its space exploration, a nation can have more information about new material or the movement of heavenly bodies. All these results cannot be measured by money, but they are very important for the human beings.
    Given the reasons above, it is safe to conclude that a nation has to enhance its awarene
ss that space research is important for the human beings. The government is obliged to take broad actions and set aside sufficient fund each year to encourage space study. Only in this way can space research develop quickly and benefit human beings in the future.                                                                       
范文（2）
    Since the 1960s, there has been some heated discussion on the feasibility of space research. Some people, free lancers or columnists in particular, always emphasize that it involves the bulk of investment that never expects financial reward. However, through years of practice and observation, this statement turns out to have a number of restrictions.
    Admittedly, the idea held by the people who lament over the annual budget in a package of space projects does contain an element of truth. But these arguers tend to ignore two other essential aspects. First, they fail to take into consideration the possibility that a country can utilize its cutting-edge technology in the moon landing projects, thus profiting significantly from satellite development, data transmission or rocket lift-off. In this
sense, space investment is not always synonymous to a waste of money. Second, the arguers’ assertion doesn’t provide sufficient data to narrow down the exact extent of the financial loss. Therefore, any further conclusion addressing the problem of space research must be based on thorough investigation. As a matter of fact, space research and exploration provides the primary incentive for the development of space shuttles, space stations and sky labs, let alone other benefits from the discovery of rare material to the observation of new heavenly orbs. In this respect, money return is not the sole hallmark of the space research. Given reasons above, the argument above, under scrutiny, tend to be groundless in its hasty conclusion.
    In conclusion, the arguers’ evidence lends little credible support to her claim. To persuade people that space research is a waste of money, the arguers would need to provide clear evidence, sufficient data and thorough cost-benefit analysis of alternatives.                                                                              (280words)set aside

It is generally acknowledged that families are now not as close as they used to be. Give reasons and recommendations.
范文(1)
Recently there has been some heated discussion on the family relationship. The issue that families are now not as close as they used to be is a complex one, since it involves a conflict of values. In my view, the final judgment will depended on a combination of two (three) essential aspects.
(原因1)Compared with the past, great changes have taken place in the size of a family life. As a result, the young people are more willing to live in their smaller family units rather than sharing the same apartment with the parents. With the time goes by, it is natural that family members are not as closed as they used to be. （原因2）Additionally, the pattern of social production as a whole also undergoes certain dramatic transformation. So the you
nger generation usually work under such a pressure that they seldom have enough time to stay with their parents. Gradually, the concept of a large family is fading from their minds. （原因3）Finally, the country has, for the past decades, witnessed an upsurge of scientific technology. So nowadays, a variety of modern technical devices are available. By and by, the young people find it more convenient to contact their parents through telephone or E-mails instead of staying with their parents.
    In view of such social phenomenon, it is imperative to take some urgent steps. For one thing, young generation is expected to enhance their awareness that a closed family is crucial for their parents. For another thing, the media, in collaboration with government departments concerned, is obliged to take concrete measures to encourage the young people to spend more time with their family members. Only in this way can a closed family be maintained.
