In the article, various people said that the public should oppose the idea of developing driverless cars. They said that some advances in technology were unnecessary and could even be dangerous. Hence, we should cease accepting technology just because it is new. The newspaper reported that the car company had already apologised for the accident, but the families of the deceased said it was not enough.

Probably the most well known are the Amish, a group of Christians living in rural America. They do not own or drive cars, watch TV, or use the Internet. They have lived mainly as farmers since the 18th century, and they will probably be living the same way in the distant future. They advocate a simple life with an emphasis on hard work, family, and community. They think that is better than caring about luxuries or following the lives of the rich and famous. It could even be argued that the Amish’s quality of life is better since they live in and appreciate the natural environment rather than living in large, polluted cities.

For example, the latest weather-tracking computer programmes give people lots of warnings about potential natural disasters, which saves many lives. Moreover, the Internet has made it possible for friends and family to keep in touch easily even if they are on opposite sides of the world. It has also made finding opportunities in life much easier, as it allows people to make larger networks of friends through using social media.

Some students are in favour of the idea. They think the historic site is worth exploiting, which will make people learn more about history. What’s more, it can attract more visitors to our city, which will improve our tourism. However, others think that we should keep it as it is and protect it properly. Only in this way can it not be destroyed by humans. As for me, I think we should ask experts for advice to find a better way to make good use of this site. 背景 赞成方 反对方 自己观点 现在，QQ空间(the QQ zone)越来越受到学生的欢迎，但不同的学生有不同的看法。请根据下表提示用英语写一篇短文，介绍学生不同的观点，并谈谈你对此事的看法。 60%的学生赞成 40%的学生反对 通过写日志(blog)，可以自由的表达所思所想；收集信息；分享趣事，交朋友。 学生有可能上当受骗；浪费时间、精力和金钱；影响学生。 范文 Nowadays，the QQ zone has become more and more popular among middle school students，but different students hold different views about it. （开门见山) 60% of the students think it helpful because they can express themselves freely by writing blogs. What’s more，it is convenient for them to collect information . Another reason why they like the QQ zone is that it is a place where they can share interesting things and make friends.
