With the development of the Internet,more and more people turn to it instead of newspapers for information.Recently we have had a discussion about whether the newspaper will disappear in the future.Students' views vary from person to person.
Some hold that,as time goes on,the newspaper will not be read any longer.Besides,printing the newspaper requires a lot of resources including wood,which is a great waste.On the contrary,other students have different ideas.They insist that the news in the newspaper is reliable.Compared with the Internet,it does little harm to our body.
As far as I am concerned,I hope the newspaper will exist forever.However,it is necessary to get the newspaper improved.

(2022·湖南省郴州市高二期末)
When I was a baby,my parents gave me anything I wanted.Then my dad died when I was two and a half,and I got even more stuff as my mom,friends and family gave me more and more to try to make me feel better.But when I was seven,my world changed.
That was when the real estate market(房地产) crashed.My mom had thought that buying houses was a good idea as a way to invest her money to take care of us.After the crash,I went from the kid who got an iPod when his tooth fell out and who had the coolest house to hang out in,to literally,having nowhere to stay.
After the real estate crash,when I would ask for a new toy,or bike,or even to see a movie my mom would say “maybe for your birthday” or “I'm sorry honey,but we can't really afford that right now.” I didn't know it then,but my mom had grown up in a family where money was never a problem,so this change was as big for her as it was for me.My constant requests for toys and video games were not helping my mom,who was to deal with her feelings about our new crisis—our financial situation.But I wasn't used to hearing “no” so for a year or two I kept asking.
Then something happened that would change my way of thinking forever.My mom had been working really hard all year,just to pay for the necessities,like our water and power bill.When she asked me what I wanted for my birthday I said that I wanted a new video gaming system.I didn't know that it was expensive.All I knew was that my friends had them and that I wanted one too.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右。

[参考范文]
Paragraph 1:
On my birthday,I believed that I would get what I wanted when opening the presents.I found a piggy bank and a birthday card.When mom asked me what I thought,I said I loved them,but she could tell how disappointed I was and she started crying sadly.I hugged her tighter than I had ever hugged anyone before.I realized how hard she was working and that she couldn't afford to give me anything I wished for as most of the money she made went to cover my daily expenses.
Paragraph 2:
From then on,I learned the difference between what I wanted and what I needed.I didn't expect to get everything I asked for.I learned to treasure the toys and games I had at hand and to take good care of them.I even got a parttime job to earn my pocket money and sometimes helped with our living costs.The special gift not only changed my way of thinking,but also changed my way of life:growing up to be a responsible man.
