问题     There is a well-known saying: personality decides destiny. However, some people believe that the destiny is held in their own hands. What is your opinion?
    Write a composition of about 200 words on the following topic:
    Does Personality Decide Destiny?
选项
答案 Does Personality Decide Destiny? Personality and destiny is a permanent topic of discussion. Does personality decide destiny? In my perspective, I’m more a supporter than an opponent to it. Some people believe that the key to one’s fate is held by no one but himself. Personality is not unchangeable, so they are believers to the statements like" Knowledge is power" and "Where there is a will, there is a way". It is undeniable that these sayings make sense. Knowledge, and even coincidence, has effect on destiny, but the influence of personality is the dominant one. Initially, personality decides the way how one acquires knowledge. Patience, inquiring mind and perseverance, for instance, are personalities which lay solid foundation on the way of pursuing knowledge successfully. On the contrary, laziness, arrogance and carelessness lay the shadow of failure at the beginning. As for the case of will, personality can decide the kind of will that one is holding. I don’t think a conservative man would have the will of taking the lead in any pioneering path, so we could not find him on the list of great revolutionists. In short, personality distinguishes one from another, deciding his way of dealing with everything. No wonder the famous American military school—the West Point holds the idea that personality decides destiny for ages. In a word, it is sagacious to support the statement that personality decides destiny.
解析    本题属于对比选择型题目，核心问题是性格和命运的关系，提出了两种观点：性格决定命运；性格不能决定命运。要求考生用自己的想法或经历对此问题进行分析比较，然后选择其中一个观点，给出理由进行论证。
    思路1：性格不能决定命运。
    一方面，性格是先天的，是人的内在品质，而一个人命运的发展会受到后天及外界诸多因素的影响；另一方面，性格虽是与生俱来，但也并非一成不变，所以说性格决定命运不科学。
    思路2：性格决定命运。
    影响个人命运的因素有很多，但是性格是主因。性格决定了一个人为人处事的方式，性格还影响到一个人的人生观和世界观，所以虽然人的命运会受到不同因素的影响，但是性格绝对是这些因素中影响力最大的。因此，可以说性格决定命运。
    范文采取了思路2的观点，并通过正反论证得出自己的观点。
