概述
近年來，中國各界普遍刮起一陣改革風，這也可以說是當前的一種主流思潮。和學生群體息息相關的改革就有兩個：四六級考試改革和高考改革。麵對當前這種改革的大趨勢，有兩類群體展現了截然不同的態度：一類群體躺在前輩的功勞簿上坐享其成，另一類卻充滿雄心壯誌，力圖改變現狀。
一、寫作思路
首段：交代清楚當今社會存在兩類人，一類人喜歡享受當前，另一類人卻不斷尋求改變，同時突出社會對這個問題的關注。
中段：首先說明提倡革新的人的觀點和支撐理由，可以舉生活中革新促進社會發展的一些例子，比如蒸汽機的發明改變了人們的工作方式，燈泡的發明為人們帶來了光明，蘋果手機的出現改變了人們對手機的看法，將現代人帶入了智能生活等。其次說明安於現狀的人的想法，如生活是一個漫長的過程，需要調整和休息，不能一直力圖革新；生活充滿起伏，需要不斷充實自我來應對一切問題。
末段：明確闡述個人觀點，如強調革新對於社會可持續發展的重要性。

Rest on Current Status or Strive to Make Change?
Two groups of people exist in our modern, complex world. One is pursuingdevelopment in their life, while another prefers to rest on their currentachievements and enjoy the life they already have. The discussion about thisissue is constant in society recently.
The first group would argue that innovation is essential to the development ofsociety. It is a major source of progress for society that influences people'slife and career. In previous centuries, human society was driven greatly byinnovation. Watt invented the steam engine and freed man's hands from elaboratework; Edison brought brightness to humans with his great invention of the lightbulb. The second group of people sees life as an infinite process, and enjoyingthe present is encouraged, especially after long, hard work. Life consists ofups and downs, so people need to take time to properly recharge in order to dealwith all these things.
