请你结合上表，写一篇英语短文，谈谈自己的看法。
In the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games Chinese athlete Liu Xiang dropped out of the race due to his foot injury， which led to a heated discussion among people across the country.
According to a survey conducted by Sina Website，about 34% of the people think an athlete should quit the race when injured since health is much more important than a gold medal；While nearly 20% of the netizens believe that an injured athlete should hold on to the end instead of giving up halfway. They regard the sport field as a battlefield in which every athlete should fight for the honor of his or her country in spite of any difficulty.
In my opinion，it's a right choice for Liu Xiang to choose to quit the race. For one thing，nothing is more important than health and sports doesn't mean sacrificing one's health for a gold medal；for another，after Liu Xiang recovers fully，he still has many chances to realize his dream.
热点4：奥运会获奖运动员的高薪问题
近几年，奥运会获奖运动员的高薪问题引起了广泛的社会关注。有些人支持这种做法，认为运动员们付出了很多努力，应该得到回报；有些人则持反对意见。请你就此写一篇100词左右的英语短文并发表自己的看法。
参考例文：
In recent years，the topic whether it is fair for athletes to pocket large sums of money has aroused more and more discussion.
Those who support giving sportsmen high salaries think that athletes have won a great reputation for our country in the Olympic Games. What's more，athletes must undergo painstaking physical and psychological training. Besides，they offer a lot of encouragement to young people to take part in physical activities.
However，some people have different ideas. They consider that athletes do little to boost the national economy directly. Thus they should not receive so much money.
I believe that they should get high salaries，considering all the efforts they have made.
热点5：美国金融危机
写一篇以金融危机为主题的英语作文。
参考词汇：
金融危机：Financial Crisis
参考答案：
What Caused The Financial Crisis？
I think we can sum up（总结，概括） the cause of our current economic crisis in one word — GREED（贪婪）.
Over the years， mortgage lenders were happy to lend money to people who couldn‘t afford their mortgages. But they did it anyway because there was nothing to lose. These lenders were able to charge higher interest rates and make more money on sub-prime loans. If the borrowers default，they simply seized the house and put it back on the market. On top of that， they were able to pass the risk off to mortgage insurer or package these mortgages as mortgage-backed securities. Easy money！and what went wrong with our financial system？
The whole thing was one big scheme. Everything was great when houses were selling like hot cakes and their values go up every month. Lenders made it easier to borrow money，and the higher demand drove up house values. Higher house values means that lenders could lend out even bigger mortgages， and it also gave lenders some protection against foreclosures. All of this translates into more money for the lenders， insurers， and investors. Unfortunately， many borrowers got slammed when their adjustable mortgage finally adjusted. When too many of them couldn‘t afford to make their payments， it causes these lenders to suffer from liquidity issue and to sit on more foreclosures than they could sell. Mortgage-backed securities became more risky and worth less causing investment firms like Lehman Brothers to suffer.
Moreover，insurers like AIG who insured these bad mortgages also got in trouble. The scheme （体系，结构）worked well， but it reverses course and is now coming back to hurt everyone with a vengeance.
热点6：高考状元与广告
高考过后，总有一些学习用品商家千方百计在高考状元身上下工夫，让状元们说是使用过他们的产品后才取得了优异成绩。请你用英语写一篇100词左右的短文，谈谈自己的看法。内容应包括以下要点：
1. 简要描述这种现象；
2. 给状元们提一点建议。
注意：
1. 可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。
2. 参考词汇：
状元 Number One Scholar；
产品 product；
适合suitable
参考例文：
After the college entrance exams，some companies that sell learning products are always trying to do anything they can to make full use of Number One Scholars in order to sell their products.
In fact，it's not easy for students to become Number One Scholars. Most of them succeed not because of the products，but their proper way of learning and hard work. Every student has his own way of studying，so the Number One Scholars' experience may not be suitable for all the students. Most important of all，not all of these products are good enough to help us study.
I do hope that Number One Scholars can think of the poor students instead of themselves only.
热点7：三鹿奶粉事件
近期，"三鹿奶粉事件"吵得沸沸扬扬。经相关部门调查，发现三鹿牌婴幼儿配方奶粉里有一种对婴儿有害的物质三聚氢胺。到目前为止，奶粉污染事件已导致4名婴儿死亡，约5，4000名婴儿染病。假如你是一名记者，请你对这一事件做一下简要介绍并发表自己今后对如何确保食品安全的看法。字数130左右。
参考例文：
Recently，the incident of Sanlu milk powder has become the focus of people's attention. According to the investigation of related departments，the powder was found to contain a chemical called C3N6H6 which can cause great damage to infants' health. So far，four children have died and approximately 54，000 have developed illness after drinking the milk.
From this incident，we can see that there are still more things to be done. Firstly，the government needs everything possible to ensure the quality of products，particularly the safety of food as this concerns everyone's life. Secondly，as for the producers，it is very important for them to be morally honest. They should never try to pursue profit or economic growth at the expense of health and life of people. Thirdly，we consumers must attach importance to the things we eat and develop an awareness of how to protect our legal rights if cheated. Only in this way will we be able to build a more secure and harmonious society.
热点8：可持续发展

4. 文章的开头部分以给出参考词汇：
差距 gap
相关法律 relevant laws
参考例文：
The idea of sustainable development has been accepted by the world. How to keep sustainable development is a big problem facing our planet.
The present situation is worrying. First，natural resources are becoming less than before. Second，as some people are not aware of the importance of the environmental protection，the problems with it remain extremely serious to some degree. The gap between the rich and the poor has the tendency to become wider and wider.
To our great joy，many countries have taken action. On one hand，they have made relevant laws and regulations and put large amounts of money to the environmental protection. One the other hand，popularized education as well as international cooperation is being carried out.
As for myself，I should take the responsibility to devote myself to sustainable development，our future and the lives of our children and our grandchildren will be in danger.
热点9.无车日与环保
9月22日你所在的城市和另外107个城市开展了"无车日"活动，倡议人们选用公共汽车、自行车或步行等绿色交通方式来代替开私家车。该活动得到了全国人民的支持，提高了人们节约能源与保护环境的意识，活动很成功。

无车日Car-free Day；
开展launch
One possible version：
Car-free Day was launched in our city and 107 other cities on September 22， to encourage people to take public transport， ride bicycles or walk instead of driving private cars.
The campaign has gained much support all over the country and has raised awareness among all people of energy saving and environmental protection. It's a real success.
With the development of the economy， more and more families have bought private cars， thus leading to much heavier traffic problems and more serious air pollution. Therefore， I think it's necessary to launch such campaigns. And I hope more and more cities and their residents will take part in this type of activity
