读写任务（共1小题，满分25分）

阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150左右的英语短文。

Honesty is one of the most treasured traditional values in China. The children are taught to be honest when they are very young. At schools the students are also instructed to be honest.

However, with the development of society, we often hear complaints about dishonesty. Reports with the theme of dishonesty often appear in the media. For example, some people try to get rich and live a comfortable life. But they do not work hard honestly, instead they cheat others. They sell something quite ordinary at a very high price. Some people's delaying paying back the loan can serve as another example. Some people, including some college students, get loan from the bank, and promise to pay within, say, 3 years. However, they don't do that.

The dishonest people sometimes can get benefit from their behaviors. So some people assert that dishonesty can bring people benefit, while honesty only makes people suffer. Is that so? Definitely not. It is always true that honesty is the best policy. It pays to be honest. The cheater selling "the treasure" mentioned above will surely be disclosed and punished some day.

On the contrary, if he had been honest, neither the buyer nor he himself would have suffered. The people who do not return money in time will sooner or later become infamous, and will not get the money from others again. If he had acted differently, he would have earned respect and trust, meanwhile, the bank would not have suffered from loss.

The passage mainly tells us that nowadays many people are dishonest for their own benefit. Because not only they neglect our traditional values, but also they want to escape being punished.

Dishonesty does great harm to our society. It can destroy our good relationship with others, bringing lots of unstable factors to the society. Sometimes, it may even affect people’s health.

Why should we be honest? Firstly, being honest is one of Chinese traditional virtues which we should carry forward. Secondly, friendship is based on honesty. Seeing that the honest person is reliable, most of people are willing to make friends with them. Thirdly, honesty is very important for us to build a harmonious society and realize our spiritual civilization.

[参考范文]

The writer values responsibility as duty or obligation. Responsibility encourages him to overcome the difficulties in his life and study. Meanwhile, he makes every effort to be responsible for everything he does.

Responsibility is essential to one’s life. It not only represents one’s noble quality, but enables one to be steady-going. Being responsible, you will gain many precious things, such as true love. Without responsibility, however, you will be an annoyance and can’t do anything successfully. What’s more, people will lose belief in you if you are irresponsible.

As students, we ought to be responsible for whatever we do. Above all, we should study hard to repay the love and care of our parents and teachers with great achievements. Besides, we must have a strong sense of responsibility to keep our country rich and powerful in the eyes of the world.

In short, only when we are responsible will we be respected and loved by others.
