136.The absence of choices is a circumstance that is very, very rare.
没有选择的情况少之又少。


態度：完全同意。
提綱：
1．        生活中的選擇無處不在。
2．        過渡段：沒有不存在選擇的情況，兩方面考慮：客觀環境，主觀想法。
3．        客觀環境中，妥協也是一種選擇：
a)        只有1種“可行性選擇”時；
b)        面對“最優化選擇”時。
4．        主觀因素：迴避又是另外一種選擇。（舉例：愛因斯坦不囘德國申明。）

Whether the absence of choice is a circumstance that is very rare, as the speaker claims? I do agree with this statement, not only because the choice has been occupied in every inches of people's daily life, but also it does rarely absent of the reality in the so-called "no choice" situation.

To begin with, people could easy find out that choices existing around us in many fields of this modern society. Such as in most of countries, residents got the rights to vote in political election, and the franchise is open for every legal taxpayer. In educational fields, people are be able to choose the knowledge that they interest, and for some extent free to explore such areas in this information-booming era. As customers in the shop, we could make our own decisions on consuming behaviors, and as participants in the life, we are be able to choose competition with our contemporaries. Facing choice, just like a major part of our daily life in nowadays. And who says that we cannot choose our original birth? At least, people have chance to change their original gender though transexualism-operation. So what else might be a problem to avoid the choice while people facing something? Follow the development of technology; choice has been widely extend in our lives, and with many possibilities existing in today's world.

However, we still can hear frequently the voice that someone complaints that he or she has no choice to do something. Is that a real situation with no way out? After a carefully examination, I found in two sides those people who claim they do not have choice but still can decide on other options both by the objective environment and their subjective thinking.

On one hand, under some objective situations, compromise is a kind of choices in front of either the only one option or the several options. Consider, college students might be faced with one-choice option in most of their study progresses. The compulsory examinations or assignments are the approaches to make them get the final degrees or the graduate certificates. Therefore a college student has to work hard with those compulsory sets and that is to compromise this only-option in the study progress. And there is another consideration, while people facing a situation without best choice, for example, the election in politics. There might be several satisfied candidates in the case here, and as a result electorates have to make decisions on their voting actions, and to choose a better candidate as they most preferable. In short, either in a one-choice option or a several-choice option, under the objective environment, people do need to compromise their willing and make choice between the available option and options in both cases here.

On the other hand, for a subjective thinking, people still can choose to escape from the situation that make them hardly to face. For instance, in 1933, when Germany ruled by anti-Jewish government, Albert Einstein has decided to escape from their tyranny and stay in the United States for his later life. He has announced that (and I paraphrased): "As long as I have a choice, I choose to live in a nation that has, civil liberties, tolerances, and the equalities in front of all citizens." In this analysis, Einstein chose not to suffer with the Germany government at that time and escaped with them but also decided on another choice to live in the US. This story tells us that while a person facing something that really sucks to handle, he or she can do nothing but escape with the existing situations and to look for another choice in a subjective willing.

To sum up, in my view I do agree that the absence of choice is a circumstance that is very, very rare in our daily life, especially in today's modern society. And such so-called "no choice" situations we heard from someone might not exist as the absence of the choice as they claim. People still could comprise with the choice for both one-side and multi-sides options under an objective environment, and to escape with a subjective willing while they facing the real dilemmatic situations.

issue 136 (选择的存在)
."The absence of choice is a circumstance that is very, very rare."

Individual freedom of choice of thought would be achieved more easily than individual freedom of choice of action, given that the latter, thought also desirable, must be subject to the limits imposed by the rights and freedom of others. So I partly agree with the writer’s assertion that men are little subject to the circumstance to make choice, however, sometimes in the specific situation we have no choice and absolutely freedom does not exist.

On the one hand, modern progress has greatly contributed to man’s freedom of choice both material and moral. With the development of science and technology, man has less and less been slaved to their physiological mechanism. In the past we perceive the world with finite extent. Now the natural limits of our eyes have, of course, been extended by mechanical instruments: telescopes, microscopes, secondary planet and so on and our chance of choice also has been extended. In the modest standards of those days, people did not know what has happened in the microcosm, now people can choose microscope to see clearly what was the cell of onion really like. The same is to our moral world.

The plentiful supply of material goods provide people an entire freedom of choice. That does not mean, however, we have the absolutely power or freedom to choose. Who feels free to choose his own origin? Who can select the time of retirement except you decide to chuck of it yourself? Who can earn a trip to the moon if you are not an millionaire or a technician. The absence of the “choice ” may be not exist, but the absence of the power to “choice” is exist.

Maybe you will say that though you can’t control the objective environment sometimes, nevertheless, you can choose your freedom of spirit, you have the ability to think independently, but sometimes the choice of spirit is still out of control, and this time we also lack of choice. Like you are a child. Psychology said that when we are children, we are puny to our environment; we have no choice to choose the psychological effect to us. And the imprint might leave a long period that even when you grow older you may also be controlled by your early experience, in the sub consciousness. Unless you can choose to excavate these sub consciousness, try to use new experience to substitute, and eliminate their influence.

So the chance of choice is not absolutely freedom, there are something uncontrollable. Sometimes we have no other choice. However there is no entirely restrict, you can make the chance of choice with your own effort.

136. "The absence of choice is a circumstance that is very, very rare."
没有选择的情形非常非常少见。
Is the absence of choice a very rare circumstance that exists in our life ?In light of  my knowledge and experience, I fundamentally agree with the assertion that the absence of choices is very exceptional, and alternative choices are always available in the world.

In this time of rapid social changes leading to increasing life complexity and psychological displacement, people frequently face with difficulties in making choices.For example, one might feel trapped in a low-paid job for fincial pressure. He would claim he had no choice but to declare bankruptcy if he lost this job. Some people bear boring marriages for a long time. They are unwilling to free them from the marrical restriction either for the pressure imposed by their parenters or by utilitarian intentions. The majorties of them complain it is the circumstances around them to leave them no choices. When they run into these dilemmas,  the complete absence of choice would invariably seem to be possible and available.

Common sense indicates that we, as the highest creasures in the world, have a free will to make choices. and enjoy this freedom to find alternative relusions.The fundermental reason lying in this sort of claim is that other considerations requir more courage for us to face with the uncertain situations. That is to say, people in such situations have some choices, however, they contain so many uncerain factors that many people  retreat befor the difficulties.

The absence of choice does not mean we have no choice but implies we need some time or knowledge to seek for alternative choice hidden behind the surface, thus we could treat the embarassment from another perspective. We can extend this assertion to the history field.When we retrospect the route that our party have been exploring to establish a system based on the interests of the majority of chinese people, we will find  the pinoeers  experienced many difficulties. Falling twice from the apex of vitory to the abyss of defeat, the situation was severe for CPC. Instead of giving up choices,  the CPC eventually decided to long march.Half way through the Long March, they held a meeting in Zunyi to elect Mao as the leader of the Party and the Red Army. That meeting is considered a  turning point in the history of both the CPC and the Chinese revolution.  Mao led the Red Army out of the enemy and successfully  established a revolutionary base in Yan ’an, where the Red Army grew stronger and readied itself for a triumphant comeback.Learing from this episode of demostic history, we should carefully consider in tough circermstance to make proper choice instead of losing confidence and even complaining that we have to choice.

In sum, the statement is fundamentally correct. I would concede that everyone is able to make a proper choice though the situation is very tough. Accordingly, one is also responsible for his own chocie ,and should not compalin the unexpected result.

终于限时成功第一篇，不过还是花了10分钟想好了提纲再开始限时写的，欢迎拍砖~

TOPIC: ISSUE136 - "The absence of choice is a circumstance that is very, very rare."

提纲
论点：在事物发展的早期阶段，选择会很多，但随着事物的发展，选择会越来越少
1。以孩子的发展为例进行论证（教育界）
2。以科技公司技术的选择为例进行论证（科技界）
3。以战争为例（军事界）



The speaker asserts in the title statement that the absence of choice is a circumstance that is very, very rare. However, the answer of whether there are choices is always changing when we proceed on a matter, such as personal developments, technical issues, and wars in battle fields. At the early stage of the matter, there are always many choices, but at the later stage, choices will become rare.
          In the first place, consider the personal development of a child. When the child is very young, before his school age, we can say the child has lots of choices of his/her future, to be an athlete, a politician, a scientist, a doctor, a company executive, a musician, a painter, a soldier, and so forth. However, with the accretion of her/his age, choices will shrink dramatically to some extent. When he/she enter an university with studying the major of computer science, we can hardly predict that he can become a professional athlete, a doctor, or a soldier. Of course, someone would argue that there is still some possibility that  the child can do any jobs as we firstly mentioned, yet it is obvious that the possibility of doing some jobs is much lower after his/her bounding to the major of computer science than in his preschool age, which means choices are becoming rare. Thereby, life is always like an ant climbing a high tree, in which when the ant go ahead on one branch, it can hardly turn back to  other parallel branches.  
            In the second place, in high-tech companies, the decision of technical configurations at the early stage of a project is of vital importance. For example, when IBM company started its operation system software project OS370, the administration panel selected an unstructured programming language as its development dependent environment, after choosing from lots of programming languages, both unstructured and structured. However, as the project OS370 proceeded to its middle stage, lots of problems which twisted with each other were poped up, due to the selected unstructured language, making numerous system analysts, software developer, software testers feel themselves in a deep, dark and dirty lair. Finally, the project OS370 had to be aborted and announced as a failure. The reason behind such a phenomenon is that with the proceeding of a technical project, to change original decisions will encounter amounts of difficulties and lead to many complaints because once people are habituated to one thing, their minds can hardly be changed to another choice.
              Last but not the least, in battle fields, early decisions are so crucial that they are relevant to tens of thousands of soldier's precious lives, while later choices are merely one thing--failure of victory. For example, in the world war two, when Japanese invaded China, a famous warfare--Shanghai warfare was hold in Shanghai city in 1937, in which the Chinese army's commander's fatal early mistake that he didn't choose a main force to defense Shanghai's port to Changjiang River, but select a weak local troop to complete such a difficult commission, led to the lost of Shanghai City, by first losing the river port under super pressure of Japanese main force's strong assaults. When the Chinese commonder were aware of his mistake, nothing could be done other than to wait the failure. That affair implies that an unsuitable early choice of even very little things in a war, can result in completely different situations in the later war, in which then commanders will have few choices.
              In sum, by the discussions above, we can safely come to a conclusion that in the early stage of most matters, there are large amounts of inducing choices, yet in the later stage, choices will become rarer and rarer. In this way, everyone should be careful to conduct his/her early decisions.

1 选择无处不在
2 有些情况不能选择，
3然而对于我们的社会应该给人们应得的选择权利
This issue about whether we live in the environment that is full of choice is complex and controversial. While the speaker asserts so, in my view, to some extent I agree with the point that under the majority of circumstances we need to choose before we decide finally. However, If a society fails to provide the basic right-choice, it would be a disaster.

First, in our daily life, choice is ubiquitous. Except for the people that absent judgement ability including infants, people in general have the ability of to do choose according to their own situation. Consider a manager making a risk investment. They need to evaluate and thus select one among a great number of company which can repay the giant profits. Through the experiences and judgement, the manager can decide to pick a company by best taking advantage of the money to earn the largest interests. At the same time, when we face the difficult problem about the choice of our career or school, we will weigh the cost and benefits to get the best an answer for us.  And even when it comes to national election, almost each national member has the quality to vote candidate who they support. In this time, they will pick up a politician whose policy most meet to them and can elevate their living level. Therefore, they will vote to the candidate they satisfy. So, in our life makingchoice is indispensable.

Nevertheless,  the circumstance lacking of choice is existing. The reason for this is in that some things are objective and subborn, and then can not be changed by our desire and inclination. For example, as individual we can not choice our parents; we can not randomly select our society and nation that we was born in; we can not choose the nature law relied on by our subjective desire or else it will take punishment as a result. We can not choice position the earth stays in the solar system; we can not choose the velocity revolving the sun and so forth. After all, as the limit ability of human being, we can only make some decision about involving in ourselves rather than do it in all time and space.

Finally, although we absent the ability to choice under some special situation, as a democratic society should not deprive of the right the publics deserve. To do this can avoid giving the way to despotic society, and make each people embrace the equal right. When it comes to government or presidents, if they do deny the right to living as deprive their choice right, this will lead to the disaster result. Therefore, the population living in this country would can not experience the real freedom. An example illustrates this point of view, involving in German during under the control of Hitler. In retrospect, because the people had not been granted the right to select leader advocating peaceful line, the power of government was devolved into Hitler.  Therefore, in order to meet Hitler's private dream that ruled the whole world, the great number of people were are murdered and maimed, and untold children, women, elder lost their relatives whatever in German, or other countries. The human civil was almost destroyed. In particular Jew their most basic choice--living had been eliminated. In conclusion, it will result in tragedy that the right of choosing of publics is taken by government or despot deliberately, let alone to keep the democracy.

In sum, although we can not do every choice about objectives, as a healthy society can not rob the right that citizens choose.

Whether the absence of choice is a circumstance that is very rare, as the speaker claims? I do agree with this statement, not only because the choice has been occupied in every inches of people's daily life, but also it does rarely absent of the reality in the so-called "no choice" situation. 开门见山很好

To begin with, people could easy find out that choices existing around us in many fields of this modern society TSts可以. Such as in most of countries, residents got the rights to vote in political election, and the franchise is open for every legal taxpayer. In educational fields, people are be able to choose the knowledge that they interest, and for some extent free to explore such areas in this information-booming era. As customers in the shop, we could make our own decisions on consuming behaviors其实例子并不遥什么大牛例子贴切就够了，挺不错的，范文好像没用过大牛的例子，除了nixon, and as participants in the life, we are be able to choose competition with our contemporaries. Facing choice, just like a major part of our daily life in nowadays. And who says that we cannot choose our original birth? At least, people have chance to change their original gender though transexualism-operation 这个说得太牛了汗！！！. So what else might be a problem to avoid the choice while people facing something 这里有个小小的语法错误，就是 while做状语的时候，只有和主句的主语一样，并且谓语是be时才能省略people，不好意思扣的太息了 ? Follow the development of technology; choice has been widely extend in our lives, and with many possibilities existing in today's world.好紧贴主体唯一感觉啰嗦了点，我建议能用5个字不用6个字，这样我们也能节约时间，也能避免麻烦

However, we still can hear frequently the voice that someone complaints that he or she has no choice to do something. Is that a real situation with no way out? After a carefully examination 我觉得这些话都没必要药，我们想象如果中文这样写，我们改卷是不是很artificiality, I 除了开头结尾意外，尽量在文中别用I found in two sides those people who claim they do not have choice but still can decide on other options both by the objective environment and their subjective thinking.过渡段引领的不错，赞一个

On one hand, under some objective situations, compromise is a kind of choices in front of either the only one option or the several options 这里说道妥协了好紧接着该队这个ts定义了我看看. Consider, college students might be faced with one-choice option in most of their study progresses.

In short, either in a one-choice option or a several-choice option, under the objective environment, people do need to compromise their willing and make choice between the available option and options in both cases here.这一段知道你的意思了

On the other hand, for a subjective thinking, people still can choose to escape from the situation that make them hardly to face. For instance, in 1933, when Germany ruled by anti-Jewish government, Albert Einstein has decided to escape from their tyranny and stay in the United States for his later life 呵呵HITLER牛人，大家都用，. He has announced that (and I paraphrased): "As long as I have a choice, I choose to live in a nation that has, civil liberties, tolerances, and the equalities in front of all citizens." In this analysis, Einstein chose not to suffer with the Germany government at that time and escaped with them but also decided on another choice to live in the US. This story tells us that while a person facing something that really sucks to handle, he or she can do nothing but escape with the existing situations and to look for another choice in a subjective willing.

后面没太仔细的看，但是感觉芹菜mm写得很不错，值得我学习， 我觉得语言就是点啰嗦，呵呵可能言重了
关于结尾握觉得太长了，
写得是完全赞同，其实我觉得写完全赞同的难度要远远大于两方面都说， 厉害

WORDS: 575          TIME: 0:45:00          DATE: 2006-6-10

提纲
论点：在事物发展的早期阶段，选择会很多，但随着事物的发展，选择会越来越少 (破题点很新颖,分类论证,结构看似也很饱满~~先赞一个)
1。以孩子的发展为例进行论证（教育界）
2。以科技公司技术的选择为例进行论证（科技界）
3。以战争为例（军事界）



The speaker asserts in the title statement that the absence of choice is a circumstance that is very, very rare. However, the answer of whether there are choices is always changing when we proceed on a matter, such as personal developments, technical issues, and wars in battle fields. At the early stage of the matter, there are always many choices, but at the later stage, choices will become rare.（我觉得开头的最后一句话写的甚为模糊，是以什么为根据，来分别early stage和later stage的呢？这里写的有点饶。。）         
In the first place, consider the personal development of a child.（呵呵，这样TS会不会太省事了点？？） When the child is very young, before his school age, we can say the child has lots of choices of his/her future, to be an athlete, a politician, a scientist, a doctor, a company executive, a musician, a painter, a soldier, and so forth. However, with the accretion of her/his age, choices will shrink dramatically （会戏剧化的减少？？会吗?）to some extent. When he/she enter an university with studying the major of computer science, we can hardly predict that he can become a professional athlete, a doctor, or a soldier. Of course, someone would argue that there is still some possibility that  the child can do any jobs as we firstly mentioned, yet it is obvious that the possibility of doing some jobs is much lower after his/her bounding to the major of computer science than in his preschool age, which means choices are becoming rare.（恩，例子和论证都比较平实，但是也都比较在理。感觉这样的内容会很好发挥的） Thereby, life is always like an ant climbing a high tree, in which when the ant go ahead on one branch, it can hardly turn back to  other parallel branches.  （比方不错，学习~~）           
In the second place, in high-tech companies, the decision of technical configurations at the early stage of a project is of vital importance. （好像又是和你的专业有关的内容吧？呵呵，这招很聪明，继续学习。）For example, when IBM company started its operation system software project OS370, the administration panel selected an unstructured programming language as its development dependent environment, after choosing from lots of programming languages, both unstructured and structured（不好意思，这里我实在不能理解both unstructured and structured？最好能够写得让非专业人士也可以看懂：）. However, as the project OS370 proceeded to its middle stage, lots of problems which twisted with each other were poped up, due to the selected unstructured language, making numerous system analysts, software developer, software testers feel themselves in a deep, dark and dirty lair.（我觉得ylwang论证的最大优点是可以把每个例子分析得非常详细透彻，这一点是我们大部分人缺乏的。。） Finally, the project OS370 had to be aborted and announced as a failure. The reason behind such a phenomenon is（这里是经典句型） that with the proceeding of a technical project, to change original decisions will encounter amounts of difficulties and lead to many complaints because once people are habituated to one thing, their minds can hardly be changed to another choice.（我觉得总结有点牵强了，前面说的大部分都是决定在科技产品的早期有非常重要的地位，后面这一句说的还是如果改变早期决定会产生困难和矛盾，但是要硬扯上人们适应一种事物，要改变很难，觉得有点牵强。而且，我觉得这个例子单看非常不错---因为分析很完善，但是如果一定要拿来说选择，似乎没有其他的比如说这个例子其他方面的侧重，如商业上的决策，科研上的决策来得有效率。仅仅是说人们适应一个而改变很难，好象不是很站得住脚。。）            
Last but not the least, in battle fields, early decisions are so crucial that they are relevant to tens of thousands of soldier's precious lives, while later choices are merely one thing--failure of victory. （恩，后面两个TS都写得比第一个好）For example, in the world war two（开头字母大写哈）, when Japanese invaded China, a famous warfare--Shanghai warfare was hold in Shanghai city in 1937, in which the Chinese army's commander's fatal early mistake that he didn't choose a main force to defense Shanghai's port to Changjiang（说yangzi river MS老外比较懂是什么东东） River, but select a weak local troop to complete such a difficult commission, led to the lost of Shanghai City, by first losing the river port under super pressure of Japanese main force's strong assaults. When the Chinese commonder （commander ）were aware of his mistake, nothing could be done other than to wait the failure. That affair implies that an unsuitable early choice of even very little things in a war, can result in completely different situations in the later war, in which then commanders will have few choices.（还是同一个疑问，这几个分论点，我觉得除了第1个展开的完全切合题意，第2和3观点好象在结尾的时候都比较牵强。。说司令因为自己的早期决策失误会影响到后期的战役。很正确，但是和我们的话题“选择”，这个侧重点你好象选得不太切题。如果因为一场战役早期的失败而使得后期的选择减少，我觉得观点很难自圆其说，而且战争中出其不意的胜利结局太多见了。一个领导者的决策在“天时地利人和”的诸多因素中，是否占据完全绝对的地位呢？值得推敲。。所以MS这个例子拿来说领导人的重要性更好一些，用来说“选择”有些令人疑惑。）
              In sum, by the discussions above, we can safely come to a conclusion that in the early stage of most matters, there are large amounts of inducing choices, yet in the later stage, choices will become rarer and rarer.（看到这里我还是不能完全信服你的观点） In this way, everyone should be careful to conduct his/her early decisions.（这里又引出新的观点？前面可没有说要大家小心自己的早期决定，后面随便加一句建议也太敷衍ETS了！呵呵！而且有可能让每个人都小心吗？早期决定的时间区域又是怎么划分的呢？）
总结：
因为ylwang是限时写作，而且限时成功，很值得赞赏。
总体来说限时的成绩本身已经非常不错，句式用词稍比上两次的习作逊色，但是相信多限时几次，这种现象肯定会很快消失的。。：）
虽然本文不失为限时里的佳作，但是还是提几个小建仪：
1．        TS和结尾写得甚为敷衍，感觉在抢时间。（相反，论证段落非常充实，我的建议是是否挪一点有限的时间，用在TS及开头总结的润色上呢？）
2．        第2，3两个例证本身无太大问题，而且论证翔实，但是我觉得拿来说“选择”这个话题好象感觉不太切题。选择例证时还望再多斟酌。
3．        全文到后面似乎着重在说“早期决定至关重要”，至于“没有选择的情况是否少之又少”而花了相对较浅的笔墨。其实我觉得你的破题点非常新颖，如果在例证的选择上能够再合适一些，肯定会增强文章力度不少。

对于限时习作来说，不知我是否下手太重？呵呵，其实我觉得本文已基本达到ETS的官方要求，但是还说了这么一堆，因为相信以ylwang的实力完全可以在限时的情况下写得比上面更完善切合的。所以，如果有说错的地方，还望ylwang及时指正。也欢迎大家讨论哈。

终于能上网了 ^_^
部分赞同
1.没有选择时从不同角度观察事物，往往别有洞天
2.没有选择往往是心理因素，发挥人的能动性，往往会发现更多选择
3.但是在自然规律主导的情况下，人们往往没有选择，只能遵循自然规律。

Sometimes people get too many options to know which one is the best and should be chosen, other times, it seems there are no options at all and people get desperate. The author argues this latter situation is very, very rare. As far as i am concerned, it is true for most of the time, however, when the situation is dominated by physical laws, people always have no other choice but obey the rules.

First of all, when a decision has to be made, one can check the whole thing in different ways and get different choices. There is a famous word in China, "Don't think straight", which tells people to think radiant and think from various angles. In China, the suicide cases happened very frequently these days. Everyone will not choose to death unless he/she think he/she has no choices. Due to the investigation to the reasons of those suiciders, many of them have issues on study, work or love, if they didn't think straight and changed the view angle to their parents or friends when they made the decision to suicide, they would find many other options and death is not the only solution.

More importantly, It is mainly a mental react when people feel there is no choices or desperate. The presence of choices will come as long as people realized their potential and power. Considering a scene in popular TV drama "Prison Break", Scotfield's brother Lincon was wrongly announced to death and thrown into Fox River prison, there is only several days left before Lincon's death, the sue outside the prison get screwed by those bad guys, at that time, it seems to Lincon he has no choices but accepted the destiny and go to the electronic chair although he was innocent. However, Scotfield didn't give up, he became a prisoner intently, and he used his brain and knowledge, finally he helped Lincon to break out of the prison. Although the thing happened in a show, it do reflect something in reality, that is as long as people do not give up and keep fighting to the desperaty, there will always be choices for them.

Another example is China's military leader and statesman - Chen Yi. When he led the 'red army' against with Japanese invaders, it seemed no choice for him but to surrender, because the gap in the hardware of his army and the invaders was huge: the 'red army' only got raffles, but the Japanese got the most powerful weapons in the world such as the tanks, bombs, biological weapons, etc. However, Chen Yi didn't think there is no choices and said the most famous word which stay along the history, " It is people who decides, not the heaven". He used several strategies and beat the enemy many times, finally he helped Chinese defeat the Japanese and won the war, which is considered a legend all over the world.

However, when the circumstance is dominated by physical laws, we usually get no choice but to obey them. It is obvious when people jump from the top of a building they have no choices but to fall down; when the electricity power is low, people nave no choices but to leave the lamps and Tv off; when people get older and older, they have no choices but to be ready to die. At these times, people have to obey the science and get no choices of their own.

In sum, when the situation is not dominated by physical laws, there are many options present  and it is us who decide which one to choose. However, when it comes to circumstances involved physical laws, we have no other choices but to obey them.

非常感谢芹菜mm的仔细评注，你认真负责的态度令人感动，看了之后受益良多啊。。。
写这篇文章的时候的确心情非常紧张，因而漏洞百出，所以偶还要努力，大概偶是考得最早的了，7月3号就考了。

说实话，我也觉得后面两个例子写的没有什么说服力，连自己都不能好好说服，
嗯，我会按照芹菜mm的意见好好修改的！
