问题     For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition of no less than 120 words under the title "What will Money Bring Us, Fortune or Misfortune?" Your composition should be based on the following story given in Chinese. Give at least two reasons to support your choice.
                              夺命之物
    一栋住宅楼发生了大火，一个中年男子在大火中丧生。奇怪的是，他5岁的儿子明明却逃了出来。有人问明明：“你是怎么逃出来的?”明明说：“我拿了一块湿毛巾捂住鼻子，贴在地上爬……”这是科学有效的逃生方法。
    人们不解：“你爸爸不会这么做吗?
    明明说：“会，是爸爸教我这么做的。爸爸和我一起爬到了门口，他说忘了一件东西，就又爬回去了。”
    参加救火的消防员说，他们发现那具男尸时，他的手里紧紧地攥着一沓百元大钞。
    于是，人们明白了：有一种东西杀人夺命，比大火还厉害。

答案                What will Money Bring Us, Fortune or Misfortune?
    Along with our economy’ s fast development, people can earn much more money than before. However, a new topic of whether money can bring us fortune or misfortune arises in front of us. Some people believe that money will certainly bring us fortune while others disagree with it. After reading the story above I set me thinking deeply. The middle-aged man had chance to escape from the fire completely but he died in the fire because of money, while his son survived from the fire because he only wanted to escape. So I can say that it is misfortune that money brings us rather than fortune.
    Why is it misfortune that money brings us rather than fortune in some situations? I can give you two following reasons that will explain my opinion well. For one thing, the middle-aged man in the above story valued money much more than his life and finally he lost his life. The story clearly proved that money didn’t bring him fortune. For another, there are many reports in newspapers or TV set about some people who got a divorce from his wife or her husband after making a fortune. Even worse, some of them indulged themselves with drug, gambling or other illegal behaviors.
    To sum up, money is not the only goal we live for. Even if we’ve got a lot of money, it is unwise to let it to control us. Happiness isn’t equal to the quantity of money we own. Only when we know how to utilize money with a correct attitude, it can be regarded as a real fortune.
