people believe that greed and selfishness has become the basis of modern society，and we should return to the old traditions of family and community then we will have a better life.To what extent do you agree or disagree with the above opinion?In this fastpaced world，many values are undergoing major changes.While people traditionally prioritize caring，sharing and generosity in life and work，modern people seem to be more selfabsorbed and selfconcerned.Modern people act selfishly to survive the harsh competition of life.They say that it is a jungle out there.To survive，you have to fight with whatever means that come handy.Obviously greed and selfishness go perfectly well with such ideas.In a company，employees do everything they can to get better pay and a higher position，even at the cost of colleagues.We are in any way advocating any selfish conduct.It is just that people are pressured to act in a certain way due to outside influences.In spite of common practice，it is hard to conclude that modern society is built on greed and selfishness，both of which are not newly invented vocabulary.In ancient times people also did greedy and selfish things though such behaviors were more condemned then.But we can not ignore the fact that people in the past lived a relatively more isolated life and faced less pressure compared with their modern counterparts.Are we happier to share with others and be generous to them？There is no fixed answer either.Some people take great pleasure helping and giving to others while others feel happy doing the opposite.But I personally think that people should not be too selfish.Caring for others can actually encourage the development of a mutually beneficial relationship.In conclusion，modern people appear to be more selfcentered than those in the past due to strong outside pressure.However，we should encourage people to know the importance of being caring and generous and to build a mutually beneficial relationship with others.Are Modern

more when you are on business.The other day I was at the airport waiting for a ticket to Washington and the girl in the ticket office said.“Im sorry，I cant sell you a ticket.Our computer is down.”“If your computer is down，just write me out a ticket.”“I cant write you out a ticket.The computer is the only one allowed to do so.”I looked down on the computer and every passenger was just standing there drinking coffee and staring at the black screen.Then I asked her，“What do all you people do？”“We give the computer the information about your trip，and then it tells us whether you can fly with us or not.”“So when it goes down，you go down with it.”“Thats good，sir.”“How long will the computer be down？”I wanted to know.“I have no idea.Sometimes its down for 10 minutes，sometimes for two hours.Theres no way we can find out without asking the computer，and since its down it wont answer us.” After the girl told me they had no backup(备用)computer，I said.“Lets forget the computer.What about your planes？Theyre still flying，arent they？”“I couldnt tell without asking the computer.”“Maybe I could just go to the gate and ask the pilot if hes flying to Washington，”I suggested.“I wouldnt know what gate to send you to.Even if the pilot was going to Washington，he couldnt take you if you didnt have a ticket.”“Is there any other airline flying to Washington within the next few hours？”“I wouldnt know，”she said，pointing at the dark screen.“Only IT knows.It cant tell me.”By this time there were quite a few people standing in lines.The word soon spread to other travelers that the computer was down.Some people went white，some people started to cry and still others kicked their luggage.【解题导语】 本文记述了作者在机场遭遇电脑系统死机所带来的后果及人们对此的反应。1What could the girl in the ticket office do for the
