Some people believe that greed and selfishness has become the basis of modern society, and we should return to the old traditions of family and community then we will have a better lifeTo what extent do you agree or disagree with the above opinion?
In this fast-paced world, many values are undergoing major changesWhile people traditionally prioritize caring, sharing and generosity in life and work, modern people seem to be more self-absorbed and self-concerned
Modern people act selfishly to survive the harsh competition of lifeThey say that it is a jungle out thereTo survive, you have to fight with whatever means that come handyObviously greedy and selfishness go perfectly well with such ideasIn a company, employees do everything they can to get better pay and higher position, even at the cost of colleaguesWe are in any way advocating any selfish conductIt is just that people are pressured to act in a certain way due to outside influences
In spite of common practice, it is hard to conclude that modern society is built on greed and selfishness, both of which are not newly invented vocabularyIn ancient times people also did greedy and selfish things though such behaviors were more condemned thenBut we can not ignore the fact that people in the past lived a relatively more isolated life and faced less pressure compared with their modern counterparts
Are we happier to share with others and be generous to them? There is no fixed answer eitherSome people take great pleasure helping and giving to others while others feel happy doing the oppositeBut I personally think that people should not be too selfishCaring for others can actually encourage the development of a mutually beneficial relationship
In conclusion, modern people appear to be more self-centered than those in the past due to strong outside pressureHowever, we should encourage people to know the importance of being caring and generous and to build a mutually beneficial relationship with others

What do you see from a handful of seeds? Some see green plants, some see blooming flowers, or just seeds. But one group of Shanghai students saw an opportunity to make money.
Eight students from No 2 Secondary School Attached to East China Normal University started a virtualM議company selling different seeds and seed products. They successfully sold 28 pictures pasted with different seeds at a campus auction田ua week ago. The company, which has recruited around 20 student staff members, has earned over 2000 yuan in the past three months.

With little business knowledge, the students had to learn new skills as the leaders of different departments, such as public relations PR, sales and marketing. They persuaded a joint Sino-French company near their school to give them training in business management.
^They helped us overcome our shyness. We also learned quite a lot of business theory. I found communication skills and teamwork are very important for my job ̄ said Senior 1 Qian Yifei.
The 16-year-old was elected as PR manager thanks to her talent for speaking. She is also in charge of after sales service, dealing with complaints and providing suggestions.

A few months ago I was at a bus stop in town in the evening. The bus came on time and I took the window seat. The bus route was by the seashore and I was enjoying the breeze (裏L) while watching the sea waves. After a few minutes the bus made its next stop. A young boy and a girl got on. They were standing on my left when the bus pulled off. I looked at them curiously and realized that all the window seats were occupied (媼). They could sit but not together. Suddenly a different wave passed through my body and my inner mind gave me the advice to get up. I got up and offered them my seat. The young lady smiled kindly and said thanks.
