问题     The draft regulation on rail traffic safety issued by Beijing municipality in February 2014 banned eating and drinking in subway carriages, and said offenders could be fined up to 500 yuan ( $ 80). The heated debate sparked by the proposed move has been revived after the removal of the ban clause from the revised draft. Should eating be banned on subways? What is your opinion?
    Write a composition of about 200 words on the following topic:
    Should Eating Be Banned on Subways?
选项
答案     Should Eating Be Banned on Subways?
    The debate on whether food and drinks should be permitted on subways has been prevalent in China for a long time. Both the pros and cons have their points, but neither can deny that eating and drinking on subways is inappropriate.
    Allowing people to eat and drink in subway carriages is like inviting them to dump garbage, which will bring problems to other passengers and increase the cleanup costs. Besides, the strong smell of some food is loathed by many passengers and drinks spilt on the floor of carriages could become a safety hazard. Those opposed to the ban say that forbidding some people, especially senior citizens and children, from eating or drinking on subways is not advisable. So the authority should decide punishment on a case by case basis. But, it is very difficult to implement the ban because of the huge flow of passengers in the subway.
    I believe the opposition group overstates the barriers the authority will be confronted with because some Chinese cities, like Shanghai and Shenzhen have already banned eating and drinking on the subway but not many people have been fined for violating the ban. In other words, the ban is a means to an end, not an end itself. People afraid of being penalized will become conscious of regulating their behavior due to the ban. Thus, regulations to improve the subway system and make commuting comfortable for passengers should be implemented in a strict manner.
解析     本题是一个观点论证型题目，需要选择一个立场，然后对自己的观点加以论证。可从两个基本观点着手：在地铁上饮食应该被禁，因为会恶化乘车环境、增加安全隐患、提升清洁成本等；禁止在地铁上饮食很不人性化，监管起来也十分麻烦。
    思路1：在地铁上饮食应该被禁。
    首先，在地铁上饮食会导致食品包装袋等垃圾的增加，因此也会提升清洁成本。飞溅到地板上的饮料等还会构成安全隐患。此外，有些食物具有强烈、难闻的气味，会造成很多乘客的不适，继而引发冲突。另外，针对有些人提出的应允许老人和孩子在地铁上饮食、对禁令实行“具体问题具体分析”的原则进行反驳，指出地铁内客流量大，分流管理不可行。
    思路2：在地铁上饮食不应该被禁。
    首先，乘坐地铁的多数为工薪阶层，怕上班迟到而在地铁上解决早饭是可以理解的。而老人和孩子有时也需要在地铁上补充能量，如果强制禁止，太不人性化。另外，地铁客流量大，要实行禁止，就需要大量的监管人员和执法人员，这无疑会增加地铁运营成本。
    范文选择了思路1，分析了应该禁止在地铁上饮食的种种原因，最后提出建议。
