　　四级作文

　　问题：假设你的大学正在就大学图书馆是否应该向公众开放征求学生的意见

　　范文参考：In the modern era,there is aheated debate regarding whether theuniversity's library should be open to the public.Some believe thatit will do us more good than harm,while others argue that it wilpose a threat to the order and operation of the university.In myview,the university authorities shouldbe cautious about offeringthe outsiders an access to such an important venue,

　　Above all,the library,serving as a critical academic facility as well asan indispensable researchsite for both students and teachers,issupposed to keep those limited valuable resourcesto its authorizedusers.If the university choosesto open the library to the public,it ishighly possible that a mass of people will rush into this place,leavingmany college students and teachersunable to complete their aca-demic work.Furthermore,when too many citizens crowd into thelibrary,there will be unnecessary talking,laughing,quarreling oreven chasing,incurring disorder of one kind oranother.

　　In conclusion,the merits of such a practice outweigh the demerits.Therefore,opening the university's library tothe public must neverbe put on the university's agenda.

　　Supporters call it wild camping.Opponents call itillegal camping.What both sides accept is that there has been a boom in the pastfew months,with increasing numbers of visitors pitching theirtents on any bit of land theyfancy in the UK.In part,this reflectsthe factthat official campsites have been wholly or partiallyclosed,or are overflowing,in a summer when fewer people aregoing abroad.

　　It is also cheap,at a time when many are worried about whattheeconomic future holds.Butit may alsobe an expression ofadesire forgoingoutdoors.Aresponse to themonths of lockdown.Most of the coverage ofthe boom in wild campinghas beennegative.Camping in public parks has now been banned forAugust and the early part of September because campers dumplitter,human waste,and even their tents on the grassland.

　　Similar action has been taken even in Scotland,wherecamping isusually permitted on most of its open land.Clearly,there have tobe rules.It would make sensethatwild campers need to ask forpermission to camp from landowners,especially outside Scotland,wherethe law is far more restrictive.It would be common senseforpeople to use small tentsand leave no trace of their visit.

　　They have been attracted by a patch ofland that is close towilderness,and itis their responsibility to keep it that way.

　　Q16:Why has wild camping become popular in the UK?

　　Q17:Why is campingbanned for partof the summer in publicparks?

　　It can measure up to2 meters long and weigharound 204kilograms.Size isn't the only thing that setsthe Amazon RiverDolphin apart.Thriving in South American rivers and temporarylakes caused byseasonal flooding,this freshwater dolphin issometimes shockingly pink.Although born gray,males of thespecies are easilyidentified as they enter adulthood bya decisivepinkshade.

　　Their unusual coloringis believed to be the result ofscar tissuefromdolphin fights,whetherplay fighting or a seriousbid for amate.The deeper the pink,the more attractivethe males arebelieved to be,and the older the male,the more pink he will have.There's also a theory that this color helps thedolphins more readilyblend in withtheir surroundings.

　　During heavy rains,rivers along the Amazon rainforestturn a pinkshade,and with Male dolphins are harderto detect.The Amazonwetland system,fed by the Amazon River,is a crucial place for pinkdolphinsto breed.And,since 2018,has been grantedinternationally protected status.

　　Passage 3

　　In a new Merrill Lynch Age Wave survey,a full 70 percent of the earlyadults said they've received financial support from their parents inthe past year,and 58 percent said they couldn't afford their currentlifestyles without it.The most common types of financial supportinclude cell phone plans,food,school costs and car expenses.

　　Parental financial support of early adults,said Ken Dichtwald,CEO ofAge Wave,is the new normal.But 64 percent of theyoung adultssurveyed said parents financial support to children aged 25-34 is abad thing,because it makes thosekids dependent.By contrast,only29 percentthought supporting men and women aged 18-24 is bad.

　　The remaining 71 percent thought that assistance helps the adultchildren get ahead.Dick Fould believes the young women and mensurveyed we're saying that by 25,young adultsought to be financiallyindependent.In fact,the respondents said financial independencedefines adulthood.Financial independence is something they werestruggling with and challengedby.

　　And it scared them a bit,Dichtwald said.One big reason they'restruggling is attributed to college loans,of which the averageamounts to $37,000.Many ofthe parents havetaken on college loansfor the kids too,sometimes at the expense of their own finances.Inthe survey,60 percent of early adults define financial success asbeing debt-free.Whether that's likely,or even possible,anytimesoon,is anyone's guess.

　　Q22:What do we learn from a new survey by Merrill Lynch Age Wave?

　　Q23:Why did most young adults in the survey sayfinancialsupport tochildren aged 25-34 is a bad thing?

　　Q24:What did the respondents in the survey say regarding financialindependence?

　　Q25:What is one big reason young adults are struggling?
