Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay on happiness by referring to the saying “Happiness is not the absence of problems, but the ability to deal with them.” You can cite examples to illustrate your point and then explain how you can develop your ability to deal with problems and be happy. You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.Happiness is not the absence of problems, but the ability to deal with them.Happiness, as the saying has it, is not the absence of problems, but the ability to deal with them. In other words, people can never be happy if they focus on their difficulties and challenges. Simple as the remark may sound, it conveys a thought-provoking notion that happiness is a state of mind not an absence of problems.First and foremost, it is well known that in order to be a strong individual, one needs obstacles to develop one’s strength, just like butterflies which struggle to be free of their cocoon in order for their wings to become strong enough to fly. Furthermore, just because people have a disadvantaged childhood, it does not mean they cannot be successful. Steve Jobs is a case in point. He was abandoned by his biological parents and dropped out of university but still managed to change the conclude, as the saying goes “You cannot run away from your problems. There is not a place far enough away.” Consequently, it is advisable for everyone to have a positive attitude toward their problems if they really want to be happy.
Man and Computer
It is believed that the computer is bringing the world into a brand new era. At the time the computer was invented, scientists, marveling at its calculating speed, felt that they had created a miracle. Nowadays, the function of the computer is no longer confined to calculation; it permeates people’s daily lives and has become an inseparable part of human society.
People become so heavily dependent on computers that it is hard to imagine the life without computers. Therefore, some people are worried that “The real danger is not that the computer will think like man, but man will think like the computer.” Their concern does make sense. Indeed, some people spend such a long time working on computers that they have few interactions with people in real life. According to a research, too many hours in front of a computer may lead to a poker face and interpersonal isolation. This fact should arouse our attention, because unlike computers, human beings are social creatures that need emotional connections with others.
Yet, it is also unnecessary for us to be overwhelmed by the negative impacts of computers. After all, we humans are intelligent and will be able to figure out better ways to make improvements.

Good habits, so the proverb has it, result from resisting temptation. Or, to put it another way, in a dazzling world of myriad temptations,one can foster good habits only if his excessive desire is controlled and the temptation is resisted.
It is easy for those who fail to resist temptation to go astray or get into bad habits under the influence of evil companies. A recent survey reveals that teens smoke, take drugs, and ride with drunk drivers not because they haven't thought about the risks, but because they are tempted by their peers to try new things. By contrast, those who succeed in resisting temptation can always devote themselves to more meaningful things. Take college students for example. Only if we resist the temptation of playing computer games or other meaningless entertainments can we form such good habits as reading, keeping good hours, to name just a few.
In short, in fostering good habits, nothing can be more important than resisting temptation. Hence, it is essential that schools,educators and parents combine efforts to cultivate young people’s ability of telling right from wrong as well as guide them in fostering correct views on life and values. Only in this way can good habits be formed.
