44、crisis is approaching and is threatening mankinds survival. (2)They are afraid that the world is likely to run out oil and metals and to run short of food in the near future.(3)To this problem, most countries respond with the demand for more rigid conservation of our natural resources. (4)Indeed, th

(5)If the natural resources are used economically, we can certainly slow down the present drain on the limited energy supply. (6)However, conservat

(8)However abundant certain natural resources may be, they cannot reproduce themselves and are bound to be used up ultimately. (9)So in th
47、e long run we must develop new sources of energy instead of merely conserving the known, limited supplies.(10)Man is highly adaptable and creative, and since he is able to tap such resources as oil and metals, why cant he develop and harness solar energy, nuclear energy and other unknown energy reso

Nowadays required class attendance is very common at colleges and universities. Most people take it for granted that students should attend all the classes re
50、quired by school. However still some others do not agree with this argument. They dont think it should be compulsory for students to attend class. As for me, Im in favor of the latter opinion. The following reasons can account for my preference. First, the rigid attendance policy does not benefit st
51、udents studies. For example, a student may have to give up a lecture which he finds useful to his studies simply because he dare not run the risk of being penalized for his absence in his course. Second, the lectures of some teachers are not always constructive. A student should be allowed to tell f
52、or himself whether an experience in a class is worthwhile. Finally and most importantly, there is no proof and correlation between class attendance and academic performance. A student may never be absent in a course, but who knows whether or not he is just sitting there daydreaming all the time. In conclusion, class attendance may secure one hundred percent attendance for a course. But it is not really beneficial to us. As college students we should learn to make the right decisions for ourselves about whether to attend a class.,
