问题     A famous writer once said, "Being ambitious is like digging a hole under your feet. The deeper you go, the closer you are to the hell. " Lots of people including this writer believe that ambition will ruin the world while many others argue that ambition betters the world. What is your opinion?
    Write a composition of about 200 words on the following topic;
    Ambition
选项
答案     Ambition
    Ambition is the desire and the strong drive for success. It can be said with certainty that ambition plays a very important role in our lives and in the long history of mankind.
    For individuals, ambition stimulates us to work harder to pursue what we want. Without ambition, laid-off workers would probably sit back and live on allowance, instead of trying their best to make a living on their own. Ambition sparks our intelligence and creativity. Without ambition, I cannot imagine how those scientists and inventors could overcome so many difficulties. Have a look at those events that changed the history of mankind. How many of them were based on people’s ambitions? If Christopher Columbus hadn’t had the ambition to find a new way to come to China, there would be no America. If Bill Gates hadn’t had the ambition to invent the first PC in the world, there would be no Microsoft today. If Steve Jobs hadn’t had the ambition to combine art with technology, there would be no Apple and smart phones.
    But we cannot deny that sometimes ambition does have unexpected and even evil outcomes. If an ambitious person is selfish and irresponsible and even willing to fulfill his or her ambitions by employing whatever means necessary, their satisfaction will come hand in hand with destruction.
    In a word, ambition makes people onward and upward in spite of the unhappiness it may generate. Ambition is no less than love—sometimes it hurts, but you cannot deny its greatness and mightiness.
解析     该题目既属于观点论证型题目，也属于对比选择型题目。写作的关键是将ambition定位为可促进进步的雄心，还是可导致恶果的野心。针对该题目，可根据以下思路展开写作：
    思路1：雄心勃勃不好。
    具有雄心的人一般都很难得到满足，无止境的追求会带来很多可怕的后果。比如，希特勒妄想征服世界，引发了二战，造成的恶果难以估量。另外，雄心有时让人盲目，会为达目的不择手段，酿成惨剧。
    思路2：雄心勃勃是好的。
    个人的进步和人类的发展都离不开雄心壮志。在此，可多举例来论证这一观点。另外，雄心可以激发人的勇气、才智和创造力，这一点也不难用各种发明创造来论证。
    思路3：雄心勃勃是一个中性词。
    先肯定雄心带来的种种好处(思路2)，再分析雄心带来的副作用(思路1)，但要指出雄心本身并无坏处，关键在于人的行为选择上。最后，强调雄心虽有负效应，但不能否定其伟大之处。
    范文选取了思路3。
