127.Facts are stubborn things. They cannot be altered by our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions.

简要提纲：
I.观点：哲学上的事实是指存在的事物、客观的事件；a.从这可以看出，事实是独立于人的意志的，因而也是不为人的意识为转移的。b然而我们通常会对事实有误解，c.只有以正确的态度对待事实、认识事实才能让事实为我所用，才能找到真理，否则只会陷入自欺欺人的泥淖。
II.分论点a.事实不因人的因素改变，只有以坦然的态度面对它，我们才能达到思想的成熟
III.分论点b人们对事实的认识误区：事实不是真理：因为事实是不全面的，分析整理后得出真理
IV.人类承认事实，但在追求真理的过程中不断超越事实

From the philosophical view, facts refer to all existing matters and objective situations and events, through which we can see that facts are stubborn things which are entirely separate from human minds therefore cannot be changed by our own wills. Yet many people misunderstand the meaning of fact, which may impede us on our way pursuing truth. Only with a correct attitude towards and a true understanding of facts can we take fully advantage of them and reach our destination, otherwise we may be bogged into the morass of self-deceit.

Facts are stubborn and that makes facts what they are. Emotionally, we do not want to acknowledge that a beloved person of us has passed away, but that is a fact; From our inclinations, we may refuse to accept that our respectable sport champion becomes old and is beat by a nameless young candidate, but that is a fact; By our wishes, we would rather hold that we mankind are at the center of the universe and forever with the domination than believe that we are just a tiny part of it, but that is a fact. These are all unchangeable facts and obviously will not compromise to our passions, tendency and wishes. But we can certainly change own attitudes towards them. We cannot detain our forefathers, but we can cheerfully welcome the new lives; we may sometimes sigh for our aging idols but we can forever keep their heroic images in our hearts; we may feel we are naive and weak now, but we know we can become stronger in the future. Only when we accept all these facts in calm can we truly gain mental improvement and maturity. And that is where our courage and intelligence as human beings lies.

However, there is a common misunderstanding of the word “fact”. Because of their unchangeable nature, people always tend to confuse truth with facts and believe that facts are equal to truth. Actually, facts most often reflect or expose certain aspects or segments of truth. People may sometimes argue about a “truth”, but what they really contend about are their own facts which are just partly true and not complete or consummate enough to lead them to the real truth. A Chinese old conte may demonstrate the point. A mother told her two little boys to observe the moon. Half a month later, she gathered them and asked what the moon was like. The older boy said that the moon is curved like a hook; while the younger boy immediately argued that it was round like a plate. Obviously both of them are telling the facts, the divergence comes from the different times they chose to observe. When considering both of their results we may obtain our truth: the moon looks different according to different times. Thus we see that facts are far from our destination of our way to truth, but rather our gangway to it.

An irony about the relationship between us human beings and facts is that though we always persuade ourselves to accede their stubbornness, we have been unceasingly tried to go beyond them in order to reach the real truth. The molecules theory brought an end to the long-lasting debate over whether a certain matter can be further divided and had helped us enormously explain many scientific mysteries. But that is not enough. Scientists decided to march on along the way to new facts and thus came the new theories of atom and electron. By the same token, the seemingly undoubted fact that a male and a female create a new life is breached a hole by the first successful case of cloned sheep at the end of last century. Encouraged by the past discoveries and achievements, also accustomed to the frequent astonishments brought by the rapid improvement of science and technology, people become less quickly to accede the present facts and more likely to prospect the future ones. Nevertheless, we are not to blame of our curiosity and doubt because of which we proceed.

To conclude, facts are stubborn but human not. We can change our attitude towards them, manage to avoid any misunderstanding of them and utilize them. Facts cannot be altered by our wills, but that does not matter, they will ultimately serve us, and that is the point.

总结：
1.这篇文章的结构用了一种我以前没用过的：首段针对题目说一些相关的话题；后面的支持段则按照我的首段，而非直接针对题目展开。也就是说自己打开话匣子，自己侃。
因为这种哲学题我真不知道怎么就题论题，大家看看这种处理方法得当吗？

2.我本来是计时的，但实在是没写完，不是文章差几段，而是每段都差几句话。这种题想明白论点和支持段的主题句已经很费时了，再想例子。。。难啊。

3.如果考试遇上这种很抽象的题我一定会死翘的。大家怎么对待这种题？？

写得很不错！文采上已经很好了，建议你最近多看一看一些原版的文章，一般的关于社会题目的就可以，把用词的地道程度在进一步提高。（有些地方还是有一定痕迹）

逻辑上，我觉得body 1和body 2都写得很出色，但是body 3没有看明白。可能是因为body 3的论点在开头的时候并没有提到，同时和总论点结合的也并不明显。可惜了一些。

我的想法是对fact进行界定。有的fact是客观不可改变的，例如太阳中心，有的fact是可以改变的，例如对现实不满而奋斗的reformer们。这是因为对fact的定义，理解，其实是不同的。这两个fact其实指代的不是同一个东西。这样展开，也可以是一个思路。或者对其中一方面集中论述，如果非常有想法的话，其实单独写一边更加方便和容易的。

同感，要想达到一个比较高的思想高度是需要时间思考的，同时还要想居士的使用，考场上的时间显然不够用，除非事先写过，我的感受就是只能尽量写了，想的太复杂也许会适得其反，毕竟写完更重要
