Temptation

Temptation is a force usually attracting people to do immoral（不道德的）things. No one escapes its spell.

　　Many people have failed because they have become slaves to temptation. Money is a typical tool of temptation. Some youngsters go astray（迷路） beyond cure because of various kinds of temptation. Shot by the bullets coated（上胶的） by "sugar"， some officials are unable to extricate （使摆脱）from abusing their power for personal gain. We have learned that some people betrayed their country because they have been bribed（行贿）by their enemies. Although their duty was to serve their country， the vast amount of money offered by the enemies made their palms itchy. They couldn't resist the temptation to become rich at once instead of struggling for a lifetime to earn only a little. At last they did some bad things， damaging the interests of their country.

　　However， the character of a man is， as a rule， determined in his childhood. At that time， his parents， as well as his teachers， must inform them of the dagger of temptation.
