It is no doubt true that the majority of people would like to be rich in their lives. Then what is the most important thing to do next for the rich? The answer should be various and I am sure helping other people is the most important thing to do.
People are born with a desire to please themselves and giving a hand to the poor for those who own a lot of money is a great way to earn everlasting happiness. Actually, many institutions around the world are founded aiming at helping people in need. For example, China Charity Federation, consisting of individuals and other social organizations that are strengthened financially and enthusiastic about charity, provide shelters for homeless people and offer supplies immediately to places under natural and man-made disasters.
Some may argue assistants to other ones do not always make the wealthy feel the happiness they deserve. Instead, they may feel they are taken advantage of, even though it is the right thing to do. It sounds reasonable because selfishness is human’ nature. Practically, this view is one-sided. Helping those in great needs, in return, brings benefits to rich men and their business. For instance, excess inventory has several causes, some of which are inevitable. One common way to dispose this merchandise is to contribute them to charity to help children living in freezing and adults suffering from unemployment. By this way can the reputation of rich ones and their companies be enhanced and their sales be boosted. So it is a win-win approach.
Overall, I believe making effort to help others is the most important thing for being rich.

A significant increase has been seen in the popularity of private cars since the advent of automobiles. Although automobiles catering to different users’ requirements enable people a flexible and convenient life, it is true that the severe pollution issue resulted from the automobile industry can never be neglected.
The excessive use of cars is responsible for the rising amount of exhaust fumes emission, generating a series of environmental problems. Due to the incomplete fossil fuel combustion, the exhaust gas contains toxic and harmful substances that do harm to the air. In addition to that, the overuse of petrol from private cars leads to the upward trend in carbon dioxide emission, an important reason for global warming.
Moreover, on no account can people ignore the noise problem from the car alarming. It is conceivable that the continually increasing number of cars leads to not only the congestion in rush hours, but also intolerable noise pollution. As regards to the downtown noise condition in Shanghai, it is said that the index is up to nearly 92 decibel. In this case, the noise is predicted to be harmful to citizens’ health and has negative effect on their routine life and work.
Admittedly, owning a car guarantees people more autonomy and flexibility in travelling. It is probably that the public transport in some remote areas might be unavailable. Using own cars, however, people can drive to their destination conveniently. For one thing, people can deal with the work efficiently regardless of the distance. For another, with the assistance of private cars, people can appreciate the fabulous landscape in isolated areas for holidays.
In conclusion, using a private car brings convenience to people’s daily life in the short term. But in terms of the environmental protection, the disadvantages brought by cars far outweigh the advantages in the long run.

Some businesses find that fresh graduates lack basic interpersonal skills such as the ability to work with their colleagues as part of a team. What do you think are the causes of this problem and what measures could be taken to solve the problem?

Obviously, basic interpersonal capacity is essential competence for an occupation. However, some businesses realize their new employees who just finish their education lack it and sense difficulty to fit in with a team. The reasons behind the phenomenon are more than one.
Frankly speaking, campus relationship is far simpler than that involved in a working environment. There are only tutors and students at colleges or universities, with the interaction and communication being made in a usually easy way. However, working in a business team positions the employees in a totally complex social structure from campus. To be further illustration, there are, undeniably, hierarchical situations between colleagues ranked by their job titles and opinions should be expressed in a related way. Hence, it takes time and even effort for the fresh workers to readjust themselves to such kind of relationship.
There is also subjective reason. A lack of awareness about the significance of training social skills contributes to the fact that young students simply focus on the academic study. It is forgivable that the students are only evaluated by their academic performance which is essential to receiving an academic qualification. Unfortunately, few of them realize that communication, especially in a team, is a skill, which should be learned and trained out in real situations.
To solve the problem, colleges and universities should certainly leave more extracurricular time to encourage students to take part in internship or social practices. But more importantly, the businesses should be aware that the proper training on the fresh workers on communication skills is no only necessary but only beneficial.
