2、themselves and society.Upon examining his life and situation,he chose to die fordignity rather than live out the rest of life in disgrace and humiliation.Socrates wasseeking truth to live a life of high station.According to him,the unexamined existenceis of no discipline,no freedom and void of digni
3、ty.Tobegin with,the unexamined life is a life without discipline.Put it another way,a life that has not been subjected to certain codes and purposes is doomed to morallooseness,human alienation and insatiable indulgence.It is such life style that,tomany of us,leads to a lack of sense of justice or d
4、irection of values.Acase in point isDorian Gray in Oscar Wildes novel,The Portrait of Dorian Gray.Dorian Gray is ayoung man who takes advantages of his beauty and ruins many pure women.It is hisunexamined life and loose lifestyle that lead to his hurt of others and his own finaldownfall.Contrariwise

6、o today.His words“Tobe great is to be misunderstood.”show that an independent individual needs to trusthimself even if people around doubt and question his life.Few could live a life assober and examined as Emerson did in that his realm of thought enjoys such a degreeof freedom and independence that
7、 it can even tolerate the misunderstanding of the restof the world.Last but not least,the unexamined life may amount to the absence of dignity.Inorder to be a true man of integrity,one should subject his life and beliefs toexamination and introspection or else his life will degenerate into a life of
8、 moralfrivolity and waywardness.As Socrates himself put it,“I eat to live while others liveto eat.”This chiasma embodies his contempt for those who live an unexamined lifewith no dignity.However,the examined life is not confined to such a learned man orwoman as a teacher or philosopher.Aworking clas
9、s man can also have a clearpurpose in life.Santiago,Hemingway code hero,has such a quality.He clings to a lifeof dignity even in the face of seemingly insurmountable obstacles.He has beenregarded as the embodiment of indomitable spirit of humanity.Tosum up,Socratesdecision to die is the logical cons
10、equence of his outlook on2life.If he had chosen otherwise,he would have felt he was robbed of the only thingthat made life meaningful:examining the world around him,the universe and lifeitself.Where an“examined life”is,there are discipline,freedom and dignity thathighlight the essence of life.IV.IV.

14、收入国家；折线图说的是中国、美国、印度这三个国家各自的情况。然后根据题目要求，对以上信息作一总结，交代出重要数据，在相关的时候对三个图表中的数据进行比较，然后得出结论。【参考范文】OnOnOnOn WasteWasteWasteWaste GenerationGenerationGenerationGenerationThe three above-mentioned charts are quite informative concerning waste generation acrossthe globe,especially in three individual countries.
15、It can be inferred from the graphs that hugeamounts of waste are being produced and waste production will finally pose a serious problem tothe earth in the years to come.In the first place,the pie chart indicates that the total waste generation on earth has reached2.12 tons in 2007.Middle-income cou
16、ntries account for nearly half of the waste generation,high-income and low-income countries about a quarter respectively.However,it is clear thatpeople in high-income countries are more responsible for waste generation,with nearly 1.5kilograms of waste generated per person per day.In comparison,peop
17、le in middle-andlow-income countries are less responsible for producing waste,about 0.8 and 0.6 kilograms percapita waste production each day in 2007,as shown in the bar chart.Population in middle-incomecountries is far larger than that of high-income ones;therefore,middle-income countries take up a
18、bigger proportion of the gross value of waste generation.Additionally,the line chart predicts the condition of waste production in China,the UnitedStates and India in the coming years.China has the sharpest increase compared with the other twocountries,possibly reaching 500 million tons in the year
19、2030.The annual waste generation of theUnited States will remain stable around 200 tons,with just a slight rise each year.As for India,thefigure starts low in 2000,but has a growing tendency and will surpass that of the US around 2020.Both the US and India are below China most of the time in terms o
