They say that the quality of life is as important as life itself and that people should not be forced to go on living when conditions of life have become unbearable. They saw that people should be allowed to die with dignity (尊严) and to decide when they want to die. Others argue that life under any conditions is better than death and that the duty of doctors is always to extend life as long as possible. And so the battle goes on and on without a definite answer.

Lillian Hanson, a college student, expects to graduate in about two years. What makes Mrs. Hanson different from her classmates is her age-----73 years. She has been studying at college, a few courses at a time, for 27 years.
　　When Lillian Hanson graduated from high school, she went to the bank to borrow money for further education. The banker gave her no encouragement.

During the first week of October, I went on a holiday to Xi’an, which is really a very beautiful city. On October 1st, my parents and I got there by air. On reaching the land of xi’an, I felt very excited, because this was my first visit to Xi’an which I dreamed of for many years. My uncle came to meet us at the airport. How happy I was when I saw him, whom I didn’t meet for many years.
On October 2nd, with my uncle guiding we went to the Bell Tower. Happily I struck the old bell and enjoyed a good performance. Then we enjoyed a JiaoZi dinner.
On October 3rd, we paid a visit to the zoo where I made friends with monkeys.
In short, I was very happy in Xi’an city.
