答案                         Politeness - Still a Must
    People today enjoy great material wealth due to hard work, but some complain that people today are less polite than they used to be. Extremists argue that people do not need to have the conventional social norms, such as saying hello to other people, because those manners are a waste of time. However, I think politeness is important in many aspects of modern life.
    First, in dealing relationships with family and friends, people need to be polite and considerate. Many young people today claim that they are too busy to call their parents and contact their friends. Once, I refused to spend time talking with parents, using the excuse that I had too much work. The consequence was that my mother got angry and hung up the phone. Our relationship was strained, but I soon realized my rudeness and apologized to my mother. My mother forgave me because I showed my respect and concern for her. This situation is also true for friends. Politeness is a bond in relationships with close family members and friends.
    Second, in a working environment, one needs to obey the basic social norms of courtesy for interpersonal communication. Consider a rude colleague who is always short and unpleasant with his coworkers. Not many people are willing to work with him, because he does not show any basic skills or ability to deal with people. On the contrary, a coworker who smiles and acts respectfully towards others will certainly be more popular and easier to work with. Obviously, politeness will never be outdated, no matter how busy the world becomes.
    Third, in the political realm and entertainment industry, celebrities need to show a gracious and friendly manner in order to maintain a positive image. All politicians have a hectic agenda. But when they are giving a speech to the public, politicians need to dress appropriately and speak in a certain way. Patience when answering questions is also a must. Similarly, a famous movie star or a pop singer needs to show a friendly attitude towards any crazy fan. Otherwise, the printing media will make a big deal out of his/her unappreciative manner towards fans.
    In conclusion, though the world today drives people to work like machines, politeness is a prerequisite for people to have a satisfying home life and a fulfilling career.
解析     文章开头以一个转折连词however引入了作者自己的观点。文章亮点主要有二：其一，主题部分既有正面论证，又有反面论证，如第二段中作者援引自己的切肤之痛，便是通过反汪来说明忽视礼貌会带来怎样的严重后果和对别人的伤害；第三段中从正反两方面说明，对比一目了然，使读者更易把握；第四段主要从正面说明，人情人理。其二，文章层次分明，从人们最为熟悉且每日面对的生活与工作入手，先说明了在日常人际交往中礼貌的重要性，继而上升到社会名流的角度，说明作为公众人物，礼仪也是不可或缺的。
