解析:
投诉信[参考样文]
Dear Sirs,
I am writing to complain about a chemical plant which contaminates the nearby river. Every day the plant drains a surprisingly large amount of waste liquids into it. The water in it has become gray and gives off a strong smell.
I think the local authorities should adopt several strong measures to deal with the public hazard. Firstly, it is necessary to prohibit the plant from discharging waste water into the river before it is purified. Secondly, a series of environment protection rules need to be laid down. Those who violate them deserve to be fined heavily.
Hoping the problem will be solved as soon as possible
Thanks for your attention.
Sincerely yours,
Li Ming

梦想金钱未必使人幸福
[20分]
解析:
Moneyhas always been what some people long for. It is true that most of them work hard to acquire wealth. But, as is depicted in the picture, there are also people who dream of making a fortune all day and night. Money has become a mental burden for them, which makes them worried and depressed.
The picture means a lot to us. There is no doubt that wealth brings happiness, especially in the modern society. Various kinds of up-to-date electric appliances, latest fashions and recreations are coming into being with each passing day. All these miracles make our lives comfortable and colorful. But material comforts do not necessarily mean happiness. Money may tempt (=lure) weak-willed persons to be addicted to harmful habits and result in their own ruin. Moreover, a person may lose his reason and go astray if he only intends to seek wealth and indulges himself in a luxurious life. Obviously, it is crucial that we take a proper attitude toward money.
In my opinion, on no account should we equate wealth with happiness. The things that contribute most to a sense of happiness cannot be bought with money, such as a good family life, friendship and work satisfaction. (202 words)
注:lose his reason and go astray失去理智并误入歧途。come into being出现。equate...with...把…与…等同起来。
