Secondly, happiness is rooted in optimistic attitude. In our daily life, we will face a lot of problems, which may lead to setbacks. The only way is holding a right attitude and sparing no effort to overcome it and then you can find happiness. Last but not least, happiness comes from frugality.

What’s your opinion? Please write a short essay entitled Should We Help Others in Need according to the following picture. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.
正确答案： Should We Help Others in Need? There is no doubt that people nowadays are hesitating whether they should help the fallen old man. It is a pity to see such a phenomenon in modern society. The reason why they hesitate to help is that they are afraid to be framed by these strangers. What contributes to this phenomenon? From my perspective, on one hand, it is reported that some people with evil intentions adopt this method to blackmail those friendly and helpful people, so people now are more risk-conscious and wary of such deceits in order to protect themselves. On the other hand, because of the increasing pressures from modern life, it is widely believed that time is precious, so people tend to care more about themselves than others. However, helping others has been seen as a virtue all the time in China. We should stick to this faith and continue to do good deeds. Meanwhile, we should also look out for potential hazards so as not to be deceived. If everyone do a little bit to the world, it will become more beautiful and harmonious. 涉及知识点：作文

正确答案： Work As A Part of Life Some people see work as the goal of life and spare no pains to pursue a fulfilling career. Others regard work as a means to achieve the value of life, emphasizing the meaning and significance of life itself. As far as I’m concerned, work is just a part of one’s life. There are several reasons for saying this. First, when one works, he also lives. There is not a period of time when one is only working but not living. Second, it is impossible to imagine a life without work. Marx once said that work is the basic need of the human race. Third, work is not only a bread-winning process but also a process of exploring the unknown world, creating beauty, providing help and expressing love. To conclude, I am firmly convinced that work is part of life, so enjoy your work, for when you make progress and have fun in your work, you are also enjoying your life. 涉及知识点：作文
