Occasional errors do appear (e.g., note the lack of logical comparison in "women??? wore their hemlines??? shorter than the decade before them"), but they are not intrusive.

Other 6 essays might be more fully developed; indeed, this essay would be stronger if the writer had gone on to discuss the media's role in Nixon's Watergate scandal and to bring the argument to its conclusion.

However, even in its unfinished state, the essay does present an insightful, well-articulated discussion of the issue.

5、

There are some who would say that the media reflects the values of society.

I believe however, that the media in fact tend to create values in a society.

The values created may be far different from the values that our society would choose to embrace.

I offer two examples that serve well to illistrate that the media can in fact shape the very moral fibers in our society.

The first medium that comes to mind is music.

Through music we can proclaim our love, communicate feelings, a...

"Both the development of technological tools and the uses to which humanity has put them have created modern civilizations in which loneliness is ever increasing."

Technology, broadly defined as the use of tools, has a long history.

Ever since Erg the caveman first conked an animal with a rock, people have been using technology.

For thousands of years, the use of tools allowed people to move ever closer together.

Because fields could be cultivated and the technology to store food existed, people would live in cities rather than in small nomadic tribes.

Only very lately have Erg's descendants come to question the benefits of technology.

The Industrial Revolution introduced and spread technologies that mechanized many tasks.

As a result of the drive toward more efficient production and distribution (so the ever larger cities would be supported), people began to act as cogs in the technological machine.

Clothing was no longer produced by groups of women sewing and gossiping together, but by down-trodden automation's operating machinery in grim factories.

The benefits of the new technology of today, computers and the internet, are particularly ambiguous.

They have made work ever more efficient and...

Topic

The following is a letter to the editor of an environmental magazine："The decline in the numbers of amphibians worldwide clearly indicates the global pollution of water and air. Two studies of amphibians in Yosemite National Park in California confirm my conclusion. In 1915 there were seven species of amphibians in the park, and there were abundant numbers of each species. However, in 1992 there were only four species of amphibians observed in the park, and the numbers of each species were drastically reduced. The decline in Yosemite has been blamed on the introduction of trout into the park's waters, which began in 1920 (trout are known to eat amphibian eggs). But the introduction of trout cannot be the real reason for the Yosemite decline because it does not explain the worldwide decline."

Sample Essay

In this argument, the writer of the letter concludes that global pollution of water and air has caused a decline in the number of amphibians worldwide. To support his or her conclusion, the writer cites the results of two studies, seventy-five years apart, that purportedly show that the number of amphibians in one park in California, Yosemite National Park, have drastically declined. Additionally, the writer casts aside a given reason for the decline, stating that the introduction of t...

Since the Industrial Revolution, we have been haunted by the prospect that we are turning into our machines: efficient, productive, souless.

The newest technologies, we fear, are making us flat as our screens, turning us into streams of bits of interchangable data.

We may know a lot of people, but we have few real friends.

We have a lot of things to do, but no reason to do them.

In short, the new technology emphasizes a spiritual crisis that has been building for quite some time.

As I try to unravel which I believe about the relative merits of technology, I think it is instructive to remember technology's original result.

A better plow meant easier farming, more food, longer lives, and more free time to pursue other things such as art.

Our newest technology does not give us more free time; it consumes our free time.

We are terminally distracted from confronting ourselves or each other.

We stay safe, and lonely, in our homes and offices rather than taking the risk of meeting real people or trying new things.

While I am certainly not a Luddite, I do believe we need to look for a bit more balance between technology and life.

We have to tear ourselves aw...

a) 服从一直在某种程度上意味着合作，对于经济的成功有着重要作用，尤其对于复杂的经济实体，比如大的零售商;例如，现代经济市场中强调的所谓供应链管理supply chain management，它整合和优化了供应商、制造商、零售商的效率，形成了强大的资金，信息，物流logistics的支持，可以获得更高的利润

b) 方面随着社会的发展，人们的需求越来越趋于个性化、多样化;另一方面，从供应者角度，产品差异化是保持竞争的有效手段;如Dell电脑的客户定制服务可以针对消费者需要组合电脑的硬件与软件的配置，更适合个体消费者的需要，给戴尔带来了很大的市场份额与盈利;

c) 个性意味着创新，有助于在今天竞争日益激励的经济社会里取得优势;比如福特创新发明了flow production line

d) 在经济上，新的投资利润往往很高，但是随着知道这个投资的人越来越多，利润会逐渐变少，直到没有。只有敢于冒险，自己寻找投资机会才能获得高的利润。比如股票投资，当股价很低的时侯被市场低估，如果它很有可能上涨，那么利润是很高的，因为成本低。但是很多人发现这个股票是值得投资的并开始投资，那么投资的成本会越来越高。而股价也逐渐接近它的价值，不会有很高的上涨

4. 合作：

95. "People work more productively in teams than individually. Teamwork requires cooperation, which motivates people much more than individual competition does."

1. 团队工作在庞大的复杂的工作方面有更多的优势specialty。每个队员都有自己的优点，充分发挥每个队员的优点会让工作更好开展。比如一个宣传团队，要完成一个新产品的宣传工作，擅长美工的人美工，写作的人写宣传材料，定计划的人定计划，则很快就可以实现产品的宣传。

2. 不同的人带来不同的观点，使得认识问题更加全面，解决方法更加多样。比如在科学研究领域，一个团队的人研究的具体课题不同，在相互交流中能够使自己了解其他领域，知识面更宽，更利于发展。

3. 对于较难较深的问题，适合一个人解决。更多的人可能会降低工作效率，以及会阻碍新的发现。比如爱因斯坦Einstein在没有任何团队的情况下提出了相对论theory of relativity。如果他当时是和团队一起合作的，那么很有可能错过发现相对论，因为在相对论刚提出的时候许多同行的科学家都反对他。

4. 组织不好的team还会起到反作用，成员之间不能有效的分工合作，互相推卸责任，反而不利于提高效率。
