答案     On Character and Reputation
    Abraham Lincoln once said, "Character is like a tree and reputation is like its shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing." This saying is truly illuminating as I attempt to explore the relationship between character and reputation.
    Character is a person’s self-being without any external interference, but reputation is the external judgments based on it. However, there can be discrepancies between the two, and the latter may even bring some changes to the former. For instance, for a businessman, perhaps making money is all he cares about and his true intention of doing philanthropic work is to improve his image or gain some preferential treatments; however, with the respect earned, he may come to realize the happiness of doing philanthropic activities and devote himself to charity wholeheartedly.
    In conclusion, as is illustrated above, character is the stable and distinctive qualities of a person, and reputation reflects it, but not always right.
解析     这是一篇议论文，主要讨论了品格与名声的问题。
    第一段引用名言，讨论品格与名声的关系。亮点之处在于点明这一名言出自林肯，提醒我们要在平时的学习中注意积累一些西方名言警句。
    第二段主要从两方面阐述品格与名声的关系。先提出品格是人的内在素质，而名声则是基于品格的外在评价。后又指出两者之间有矛盾，后者可能会引起前者的改变。商人的例子使论点更有说服力：商人一开始做慈善事业是为了提升形象获得更大的利益，有了好名声之后发现自己很快乐便诚心助人，品格发生了改变。
    第三段总结全文，品格是个人独特的素质，名声反映品格，但不一定总是对的。In conclusion是文章结尾常用的过渡语。
