Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic: Are Mass Media Good or Bad? You should write at least 150 words and base your composition on the outline given below in Chinese:

1. 你认为大众传媒（电视、杂志、广播、网络等）的现实意义何在；

2. 分析说明你的观点。

Mass media outlets such as television and magazines expose people to the age of information. Yet, like many other things, the media are double-edged.

As primary channels of information, radio, TV and magazines are convenient and economical sources of knowledge and entertainment. Moreover, they also provide important information about different products through advertising. However, advertising can be misleading. Sometimes advertisements do not provide all the information we need to know about a product, and some even seduce us into buying useless or fake products.

Nevertheless, it is difficult to weigh the merits and demerits of mass media since they are often closely related to each other. For instance, violent scenes in TV programs are believed to be partially responsible for violence-related crimes. However, these programs show us not only crime, but also the punishment for wrongdoing. The dark side of society will not disappear just because we do not talk about it. But, it is certain that such information as pornography must be kept away from young people.

Hence, the media should not be simply judged as good or bad; it lies for us to use information properly. We should be careful with regard to the content of information and take measures to keep audiences from the possible harmful influences of the media.

You should write at least 150 words and base your composition on the outline given below in Chinese:

1. 你认为“犯罪源于人的本性”这一观点是否正确？明确阐述你的观点；

2. 说明你的观点；

3. 提出有关如何预防犯罪的建议。

Reasons for committing crimes are varied and complex. We cannot simply say that it is human nature to violate regulations and laws.

We are not yet sure what causes people to commit crimes. However, the reasons seem clear in cases in which a thief steals money to make a living. Many thieves, when caught and interrogated, reveal that they come from poor families and have very little education. From these cases, we can establish a relationship between crimes and the poor family background together with a low level of education. Many people believe that parents can teach their children the harms of wrongdoing by showing them the consequences of such actions and the necessity to comply with social norms. This method seems to be effective for most children. On the other hand, sometimes even this method is not effective. For example, some high-ranking officials may take bribes or abuse power for their own benefit. Such persons have both a high income and a good education; they should know clearly what they are doing and the probable consequences. If teaching young children not to commit crime was indeed an effective method of crime prevention, then these crimes would never have happened.

We know that people tend to act for their own benefit, but we do not know whether it is due to human nature or other causes such as ideas learned later in life. Therefore, the opinion that human nature causes crimes and that people's tendency to break the law can be stopped when they are young does not stand well. People actually become criminals for varied reasons and we should adopt different methods correspondingly for crime prevention.
