A
By 2017， most people will be aware that a healthy，happy， loving family is a joy to be part of， and that it is a necessary foundation for building a strong and harmonious society.But for most，awareness will not become reality.People will be subjected to increasingly more various and complex influences.Advertisers will create new desires and turn them into necessities.This will leave people feeling confused about their values and priorities(优先).
Too many people are already hooked on the beliefs of the “me generation”so they fail to appreciate that there is a time in life when they must get hooked on sacrifice and teamwork.At a time when adults need to become focused on in needs of their family ，they will be subjected to other influences.Some will use bad timing as they proudly sacrifice for a more powerful car or a luxury house.Some will be hooked on taking risks，and others will recite phrases like “I must become the best I can be”or“I don't want to be tied down”.The needs of their family will be lost in complex set of priorities.
Many people have not actually experienced a solid positive family life ，so they will tend to deny its worth(and unfortunately，some will even believe it doesn't exist).Many people have always experienced family life as a struggle，so they won't find time and energy for a workshop，and probably won't even recognize the need.
But it is extremely important for our future that we maintain a healthy idea.We need to value and appreciate the importance of what can be achieved by loving and committed parents.People need a strong foundation，so it is vital for our society that we encourage parents to work at creating love，joy，and happiness in a decent，stable，and productive atmosphere.

Thanks to the help of a loyal and trusting friend ，my grandfather gained a jewelry booth on Canal Street，New York City.He once told me how nervous he was on that first day of work.He was not only trying to learn this tough new business，but also a new language.
To his surprise，the men in neighboring boothswho could have taken advantage of himoffered their help and advice.Within months，my grandfather was commanding his spot behind the counter，selling diamonds and cultured pearls as if he'd been doing it his whole life.
Stand straight and stand tall.
In later years，my grandfather would take both my mother and her sister down the aisle at their weddings.As he stood with each of them，he thought about their new beginnings，and of the adventures and journeys they would experience together.He also thought about the children who would one day carry on his family name.

参考范文：
Currently，cheap pirated goods，such as pirated software，music and films，pose a serious challenge to the issue of protecting intellectual property.
Piracy equals theft.Copying others' ideas，designs，inventions or trademarks deeply hurts the initiators' feelings.They are discouraged from offering up more fantastic things or wonderful ideas，which are supposed to make our world more colorful and our life more comfortable and convenient.Piracy robs us of modern civilization.Thus，it is our duty to say no to piracy.
One of the best ways to discourage piracy is to offer a diverse range of legal and affordable alternatives.If I can get a perfect song disc at 5 RMB，why do I bother buying a pirated one at 4.5 RMB？On top of this，the government must pass effective laws to punish the pirates in order to protect others' intellectual property.By making efforts，we can further the fight against piracy.

根据所给图表，写一篇题为“电影与电视”的短文。短文须包括以下内容：
1.电影观众人数呈逐年下降趋势；
2.电视观众人数越来越多(原因：方便、经济、选择范围广)；
3.然而还是有人喜欢看电影(原因：气氛、娱乐)。
注意：1.语言连贯、要点齐全；
2.词数100 左右；
3.参考词汇：decrease v.下降；atmosphere n.氛围；entertainment n.娱乐；film goer/TV watcher 电影/电视观众。
(a)Number of TV watchers (b)Number of film goers
参考范文：
From the table，we can see that film is giving way to TV in our city.For example ，in 1998，there were less than 10 thousand TV watchers，more than 80 thousand film goers， while in 2008，we had about one hundred thousand TV watchers but only about 10 thousand film goers.The number of film goers is decreasing and that of TV watchers is increasing.
Televisions are quite common nowadays and so more and more people turn to TV because it is convenient and cheap and watchers have a wide range of programs for them to choose from.At the same time，there are still some people who prefer films because they like the atmosphere in the cinema as well as the entertainment.
