Determining the answer will far from an easy proposition, but is nonetheless one that deserves careful and deliberate consideration.On the one hand, the majority is in favor of the idea that to receive a reward after doing good deeds is beyond any doubt due to the reason that ―A good turn deserves another‖, as the old saying goes, which indicates that a good deed, surely, ought to bring about a reward, the motivation or the stimulus for the favor.One the other side of the coin, adverse voices cast their ballots for the belief that good deeds belong to voluntary work, purely out of willingness, which has nothing to do withexpectation for rewards, following the outstanding example of the great communist soldier Lei Feng –who ―devoted his limited life to the limitless cause of serving the people‖.In short, balancing the advantages and drawbacks of this issue, I am bound to accept the latter viewpoint, intending to stand on the side that good deeds are supposed to result from spontaneous reaction confronted with certain circumstances.QUAKE WORDSaftershock余震airdropped goods空投物资armed police武警casualties伤亡人数charity organization慈善组织charity performance义演class resumption复课class suspension停课collapsed building倒塌房屋death toll死亡人数debris / rubble废墟earthquake-hit region受灾地区earthquake relief抗震救灾emergency measure紧急措施epicenter震中essentials生活必需品evacuation撤离field hospital野战医院first-aid急救fundraise募捐green channel绿色通道international aid国际援助landslide山体滑坡life detector生命探测器life line生命线makeshift house简易房屋medical team医疗队mud flow泥石流national mourning day国家哀悼日power restoration恢复供电prime time for rescue救援黄金时间relief materials救灾物资rescue effort救援行动rescue team救援队rescue worker救援人员Richter Scale里氏震级search and rescue work搜救行动seismographer地震学家sniffer dog / rescue dog / search dog救援犬survivor幸存者temporary shelter camp临时避难所trapped person被困人员victims受灾群众震级magnitudeTHE China Seismological Bureau on Sunday revised the magnitude of the Wenchuan earthquake from 7.8 to 8.0 on the Richter scale. The magnitude was adjusted after specialists carried out "real-time and detailed measurements of the quake", the bureau said. It also referenced quake data provided by foreign seismological observatories.免收学费be exempted from paying tuitionTHE national college entrance examination, scheduled for June, will be postponed in 40 quake-affected regions in Sichuan, the Ministry of Education said Sunday. Students orphaned or handicapped by the earthquake will be exempted from paying tuition. They will receive living subsidies if they are admitted to colleges. The ministry will also provide free vocational training to those students who are not admitted to university.国际救援队international rescue teamFOUR international rescue teams from Japan, Russia, Singapore and the Republic of Korea joined the rescue effort in Sichuan over the weekend. The Japanese team was the first to arrive. On Saturday evening, the Russian team became the first to save a life. Also on Saturday, President Hu Jintao expressed gratitude to the foreign countries and people who have offered help to China.FROM last Monday to Wednesday, every Chinese joined the mourning (哀悼) for tens of thousands of lost lives in the recent deadly earthquake. This is the first national mourning decreed (颁布) by the central government for victims in a natural disaster since 1949. A large number of foreign newspapers followed the moving moment. Let''s take a look at what the Los Angeles Times wrote.China Comes to a Halt (暂停) to Honor Earthquake VictimsFor three minutes that seemed like an eternity (永恒), this very busy nation of 1.3 billion people Monday stopped shopping, producing, eating, talking, driving.Instead, they stood still, heads bowed in mourning in commemoration (纪念) for victims of last week''s earthquake. The memorial began at 2:28 pm, exactly one week after the deadly tremor (震动). Many said it was the biggest display of mourning in China since the death of Mao Zedong in 1976.To mark the country''s largest natural disaster in more than 30 years, the Chinese government declared a three-day mourning period from May 19. Movie theaters were closed. Television stations canceled most entertainment programs, and movie networks were blacked out. The Olympic torch relay was suspended (暂停) until Thursday. Flags flew at half-staff.From Beijing''s Tian''anmen Square to Shanghai''s Bund (外滩) to the far-flung (遥远的) villages where rescue workers were still trying to dig out the living from the rubble (废墟), everything simply came to a pause. It was an amazing sight in a country that on a normal Monday afternoon would be a hive (闹市) of activity. Trains stopped in their tracks. Cars on the huge ring roads encircling Beijing stopped. Drivers leaned on their horns (喇叭) so that a giant siren (汽笛) seemed to be shrieking (尖叫).People stood up inside buses and trains. Office workers stood on the sidewalks, students at their desks and on playgrounds. Police officers cradled (环抱) their caps in their arms as they stood at attention. Many wept openly."Although we are a nation that suffered a lot of disasters, and this was another one, we are very united. We have confidence to conquer this event," said Zhuang Guifang, a retired accountant with tears behind her sunglasses.Zhuang said she was proud of the way her country was handling the earthquake, the way that Premier Wen Jiabao flew out to the disaster area within hours, the rapid deployment (布置) of the military. Her entire family, from her mother in her 80s to her 3-year-old granddaughter, has donated money for the relief effort.Jing Jun, a professor at Beijing''s Tsinghua University, said this is the largest gathering of mourners since Mao''s death."I have been in a debate for some time with my academic friends who believe that market reforms have ruined China''s moral fabric (道德基础)," Jing said. "But I think this shows it isn''t the case. There is still a fundamental (基础的) level of decency (庄重) and compassion in Chinese that has not been brought down by individualism."祝贺信Dear Jason,I am much delighted to learn that you have been elected the Chairman of our University Students’ Union.

The earthquake could be felt in almost half of China, and was certainly one ofthe deadliest and strongest earthquake to hit China, as well as to hit the human being. Over 1000 towns where 20 million people lived were seriously affected. Up to the latest report made at 16:00 CST, May 14th, 14463 people lost their lives, 65000 people injured, 216,000 buildings collapsed, under which 25788 people were still being buried, including children and teenagers who were studying in their classrooms when the earthquake happened.The Chinese government made emergency reactions immediately after the earthquake. Up to now, China have already put military forces of more than 100,000 into the rescuing missions that are taking place in the towns and cities close to the earthquake center. However, the geographic condition of those areas made the rescues extremely difficult: Most of the towns locate at an altitude level of around 3000 meters and surrounded by mountains. Roads and bridges leading to these places were either destroyed directly in the earthquake or by the resultant landslides. Helicopters were not able to approach immediately after the earthquake, due to the extreme weather condition. Therefore, it took the rescue teams 8 – 12 hours to enter these areas on foot, under the risk of aftershocks and landslides. Now, as the weather condition gets better, helicopters are able to enter those areas and airdrop medicines, food, and tents. Rescue teams in small sizes (around 100) have enteredall of the affected areas and had immediately started to undertake the rescue missions. However, with the roads being blocked and the heavy facilities unable to enter, full-scaled rescues in the mountainous areas are still hard to initiate.For those of you who want to form some firsthand impressions about the earthquake,I set up a photo album including some latest pictures from the Chinese media: /yeahyoung/the_chinese_earthquake. These pictures can show you the destructions of the earthquake, the geographic condition of the earthquake areas, and the ongoing rescuing efforts of the Chinese government. The copyright of all these pictures are reserved by . If you would like to know more up-to-date news regarding this incident, please refer to the media links atthe end of this mail or to the latest report from whatever most available media.At this very moment, please join us to mourn those who lost their lives, and pray for those who are still being buried under the ruins and waiting to be rescued.If you would like to help those who lost their home in the earthquake to rebuild their home, or those children who lost their school to rebuild their school, you can make a donation to the Canadian red-cross online at : https:///redcross/new/index.php, by phone: 1-800-418-1111, or mail.Any help will be sincerely appreciated.Yours sincerely,Li Ming爱心To specify this statement, I would like to take Kong Fansen as an example. Kong, instead of settling for his comfortable official position in the rich and well-off Province of Shandong, volunteered to serve in a most backward area in Tibet where the weather is notoriously abominable. Kong was consistently dedicated to the fulfillment of the principle of ―serving the people‖, and he always appeared at the most critical moments of local residents’ hardship and impediment. Freezing as it was in Tibet, Kong’s love and care largely warmed people’s hearts.为了具体说明这个问题，我将以孔繁森作为一个例子。
