　　Economic Development and Moral Decline These years, the economy in China is advancing by leaps and bounds.With this swift development, people’s life is better off and they get much more money to spend. But it’s human nature that they want to get even more. Money worship is sweeping¹ across the whole country. With the popular misconception that money is everything, many immoral² social phenomena³ have emerged. One of them is moral decline.

　　Leaving the theft, robbery aside, corrupt⁴ conducts are getting more rampant⁵. For instance, offering and taking bribes⁶ is becoming increasingly a social malady⁷ in the privileged class. For businessmen, they have a different morality which permits them to willfully produce ineffective or even dangerous products, advertise their products dishonestly. For some richest persons, they get confused about their life. They are occupied with nothing all day long and don’t know how to make themselves more satisfied, as a result they take drugs, among many other unlawful practices, to seek fun. They have money, but they have lost their aim in life and can’t find happiness.

　　Am I suggesting that we should discard all the money and go back to　the “poor days”? No! the wheel of history can’t be stopped. But if　moral decline is the inevitable⁸ product of the economic development,　we can cerChildren’s participation⁹ in reality shows

　　Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on the topic Children’s participation in reality shows. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.

　　范文：

　　Nowadays, it has become a trend for children to participate in reality shows. However, is it really good for them?

　　There are two sides for each coin. On one hand, participating in reality shows is good for children. First, it can make children more courageous¹⁰ and more confident. Second, some shows such as outdoor shows can make children more independent. For example, in some shows, children are required to accomplish some tasks without their parents accompanying them. That is a good way to train the children.

　　On the other hand, children’s participation in reality shows may cause some disadvantages to them. For instance, children may become vainglorious¹¹ if they win some fame from the shows. They may tend to pay more attention to undeserved reputation instead of studying hard. They may overlook the importance of working hard.

　　As a result, you really need to think carefully before you take your children to reality shows. I personally feel that these shows make the children grow up too fast. Why not just let them be children?
