英语六级作文:Should one expect a reward when doing a good deed？做好事应

A great many people presume upon a reward when doing a good deed. First and foremost, there is a natural tendency to equate doing good deeds with a certain amount of reward, and reward with a certain amount of money. What is more, they maintain that since the basis of contemporary society is money, one of the major means of earning money is getting reward by doing good deeds.

On the contrary, the vast majority of people assume that doing a good deed should be based on peoples personal interests. Hence, doing a good deed is fulfilling itself and reward is of minimal significance. Numerous examples can be given, but this will suffice. Mr. Leifeng lived a simple life dedicated to doing good deeds without expecting any reward and helping people from all walks of life, yet he was remembered as one of the most successful hero of our time.

Generally speaking, it is my view that we should not expect a reward when doing a good deed. We do this for enjoyment, fulfillment and other spiritual enhancement, not for the purpose of reward.

很多人认为在一个激励做一件好事。首先，有一种自然倾向将一定数量的奖赏行善，有一定金额的奖励。更重要的是，他们认为当今社会的基础是金钱，挣钱的一种方式是通过做好事获得回报。

相反，大多数人认为做好事应该基于人的个人利益。因此，做好事是履行本身的回报并不重要。可以给出无数的例子，但这就足够了。雷锋生活简朴，一生致力于做好事不求任何回报，帮助各行各业的人们，然而他被公认为是我们这个时代最成功的英雄。

总的来说，我认为我们应该做好事不期待回报。我们这样做是为了享受，成就和其他精神升华，不是为了回报。
