A larger and larger part of society is expressing its concern about environmental
protection. Active in their concern, teachers and students hold specific meetings to
discuss environmental protection. Also, city planners take environmental problems into
serious consideration. And, though reducing pollution can be expensive, factories often
take every possible measure to do their part. Many people are concerned and active
because air and water pollution affects everyone and makes it difficult for cities to
survive and businesses to make a profit.

Computers, just like any new technology, have a negative side. As more and more
computers are used in production lines, many jobs are being taken over by
computer-controlled machines. As a result, many workers are finding themselves jobless.
This constitutes a threat to social security. Another problem is computer crimes. For
example, some people are finding ways to break into the bank computer systems and
transfer large sums of money to their own accounts. There have been many reports like
this. One more negative effect of computers is that they bring about health problems.
Sitting in front of computers all day undoubtedly affects people’s health. Back pain, wrist
pain, fai

ling eyesight, to name only a few.

Many people place so much emphasis on success that they think any failure is bad.
Failure is never pleasant because it hurts people. But in fact it can make positive
contribution to our life once we learn how to make the best of it. We can learn from a
disastrous party how to give a good one. And we can learn from an ill-chosen first house
what to look for in a second. Even a total failure can give us fresh ideas or a change of
direction. Repeated failures lead to success and prove to be beneficial to us as we
experiment every day to find out the right way of doing things.

There are many problems for mixed marriages. The number one reason is the cultural
differences between the mixed couple, like those in customs and lifestyle. Many people
have prejudice against mixed marriages. They often feel shocked to see people of
different races get married and have doubts about such marriages. What’s more,
children from mixed marriages tend to be looked down upon or even badly treated by
their p

eers. Mixed marriages face many trials, and as a result, mixed couples have higher
divorce rates than couples of the same race.
