Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and assignment below:

A colleague of the great scientist James Watson remarked that Watson was always “lounging around, arguing about problems instead of doing experiments.” He concluded that “there is more than one way of doing good science.” It was Watson’s form of idleness, the scientist went on to say, that allowed him to solve “the greatest of all biological problems: the discovery of the structure of DNA.” It is a point worth remembering in a society overly concerned with efficiency.

Adapted from John C. Polanyi, “Understanding Discovery”

Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and assignment below: (2006.5)

Some people claim that each individual is solely responsible for what happens to him or her. But the claim that we ought to take absolute responsibility for the kinds of people we are and the kinds of lives we lead suggests that we have complete control over our lives. We do not. The circumstances of our lives can make it more or less impossible to make certain kinds of choices.

Adapted from Gordon D. Marino, “I think You Should Be Responsible; Me, I’m not so Sure”

Assignment: Are we free to make our own decisions or are we limited in the choices we can make? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observation.

1. 题目翻译：

有些人说，人只为自己的事情负责。但是这一说法——我们应当对自己是怎样的人、过怎样的生活完全负责——表明我们对自己的人生负有完全的责任。但是我们没有。我们生活的环境或多或少都会影响我们做出某些选择。

题目：我们是自己自由做出决定还是在做选择时受到限制?

2. 审题关键词：free, limited

3. 论证分析-各段核心提纲：

自由决定：As free individuals, we take full control of our own lives.

选择受限：But our life choices are influenced by such factors like family, friends, or opportunities.

补充：Nobody is completely free to make his choices. Yet we shall not be manipulated by other people.
