答案 Social rules play an important role in every society, but whether or not the rules for young people are reasonable can be controversial. Some people believe that social rules for young people today are too strict, while others think they are reasonable. I believe that social rules for young people are not only reasonable, but good, because they help young people behave themselves and prevent them from hurting themselves. First and foremost, social rules exist as a way to instruct young people in proper conduct. For example, society expects young people to go to school every day and spend most of their day studying—this is to his or her own benefit. If this rule didn’t exist, young people might waste all their time playing video games or participating in other unimportant activities instead of spending their time learning how to read, write, and do mathematics. In this way, social rules help young people to use their time well and make good preparations for the future. Another reason that social rules are good for young people is that they protect them from hurting themselves. As has always been the case, young people today are likely to make foolish decisions if they do not have rules that set clear boundaries for their behaviors. For example, many students today get involved in drugs. Without rules against these substances, even more students would try these things. Drugs can do long-term damage to young people’s futures because their minds and bodies can be severely damaged; some even die from overdosing. Social rules should therefore not be seen as strict and restrictive, but as good guides for young people that are in place to help both the individual as well as society as a whole. Since young people today are both helped and protected by social rules, I do not believe the rules are overly strict. Young people should be thankful for these rules rather than complain about them.
解析     “社会规则”一词听上去非常高大上，无从下手。但是我们只要把它和我们的生活联系起来题目就会变得容易多了。“未成年人禁止进入网吧”，“禁止吸食毒品”，“中高考的设置”等等都是社会规则。这些规则看似很严格，却是十分合理和有必要的。如果没有这些规则的约束，年轻人在自控力不强的情况下很容易走错路。
