　　a man may usually be known by the books he reads as well as by the company he keeps: for there is a companionship of books as well as of men; and one should always live in the best company, whether it be of books or of men.

　　a good book may be among the best of friends. it is the same today that it always was, and it will never change. it is the most patient and cheerful of companions. it does not turn its back upon us in times of trouble or distress. it always receives us with the same kindness, amusing and instructing us

　　in youth, and comforting us in age.

　　books possess an extract having the fundamental properties of immortality. they are by far the most lasting products of human effort. temples and statues decay, but books survive. time is of no account with great thoughts, which are as fresh today as when they first passed through their author＇s

　　minds ages ago. the only effect of time has been to sift out the bad products, for nothing in literature can long survive but what is really good.

　　books introduce us into the best society: they bring us into the presence of the greatest minds that have ever lived. we hear what they said and did. we see them as if they were really alive; we sympathize with them, enjoy with them, hurt with them; their experience becomes ours, and we feel as if we were, in a measure, actors with them in the scenes which they describe.

　　the great and good do not die even in this world. embalmed in books, their spirits walk abroad. the book is a living voice. it is an intellect to which one still listens. hence we ever remain under the influence of the great men of old. the great intellects of the world are as much alive now as they were ages ago.

　　For everybody, life is far from being perfect. There are so many unsatisfactory things in our lives that sometimes we may think life is all about failures and reverses. In extreme cases,some people cannot get over their setbacks and choose to end their lives. And others, having lost their enthusiasm for life,just drag along without knowing their goals or what they are heading for. I feel sad for them. What future will these people have? What can they achieve in their lives? What will they obtain by living like this in the world? Of course, they do not know the answers, because they have been made dull by their pessimism.

　　Here, I want to share my motto of life with them:gains and losses go side by side. Success and failures, happiness and sadness are all the components of life. Owing to them, life becomes colorful, full of surprises and amazements.

　　I don＇t realize this right from the beginning and I used to complain a lot about my life. Take my exam results for example.I am proud to say that I did equally well in every subjects when I was in middle school. It would not be a surprise if I got equally excellent marks for the exams of all subjects, my total mark would rank first. But, curiously, this ideal situation only remained in my imagination. Every time, I would unexceptionally muff one or two subjects, sometimes because I was not careful,sometimes because I didn＇t feel well on the day of exam. I can＇t understand why. Why would I stumble over these trifle things and make silly mistakes? I felt gloomy and depressed until one day, a boy reminded me "Don＇t you notice that every time you do extraordinarily well in some subjects?" Do I? Yes! Then, the relationship of gains and losses struck me like a lightening. Yes,they go side by side, like twins. However, due to the pessimistic and critical side of human nature, we too frequently only see the losses. We sigh, we complain. We claim that life is unfair. As a result, life seems miserable and disheartening. Well, why not look at the brighter side of it? See what you have gained. Be happy with your gains.

　　While talking about the gains and losses, I can＇t help thinking of an advertisement I have recently watched:The optimist say:Wow! There is still half bottle of water! While the pessimist sighed:there is only half bottle of water left. Obviously, it is your attitude that really matters. Let＇s remember, gains and losses go side by side.

　　It has been a controversial topic whether abortion should be legalized or not for a long time. It has caused many debates in many countries around the world. Now, in some countries, abortion is legalized, but in some countries, if you have an abortion, you will be punished by the law. In my opinion, I think abortion should not be legalized. It should be banned, which is beneficial for the health of women and the development of the teenagers.

　　In many debates about the problem, people will talk about the human rights. The pro-choice groups may argue that women have the right of freedom and women have the right to chose whether or not to give birth to the child. We have no right to ask women to keep the foetus in their wombs. Indeed, women are free to choose, but, the foetus also have the right of life. If you had abortions, you deprived their right of life. Why don’t we protect the right of the foetus?

　　Besides, some of the pro-choice groups may argue that most of women who choose to have abortions are too young to take the responsibility for bringing up the child. If they give birth to the child, their future life may be unhappy. So, will their futures not be affected if they have abortions? No one is sure about the answer. I think that they may think they have no mistakes. Then, they will have abortion boldly and they will not restrict their actions. More teenagers may have sexual behaviour in school. All of these will affect their futures.

　　Therefore, I think that abortion should be banned. Firstly, abortion is harmful to women’s body and psyche. Sometimes, abortion may cause some gynecological diseases, and which may affect their whole life. Moreover, if girls have several abortions, their fertility will be affected. They may not be pregnant when they want to have children. Besides, the abortion actually is to kill the foetus. So this may make some mental shadows in their mind. Some women may have psychological problems because of it.

　　Secondly, it is not conducive to the development of the teenagers and young people. If abortion is legal, the teenagers will not afraid of being pregnant, and then they may not restrict their sexual behaviours. Thus, the teenagers and the young people will develop some bad habits of life. Some may be self-indulgent. Moreover, if they can have abortion arbitrarily, they may not realize that they should take responsibility for their behaviour. All of these will affect their development and futures.

　　All in all, the abortion is immoral and is harmful to women in body and psyche. Moreover, it may have bad influence on the teenagers. Therefore, we should not support the abortion. The abortion should be banned. The behaviour of the young people should be restricted. Thus, we can provide a better social environment for the teenagers and they can have good futures.
