这是一个阐释对立观点型的题目，文章讨论了是否应当牺牲传统文化来发展现代化的问题，写作时应当围绕提纲进行构思：①第一段阐明保留传统文化的作用和观点，第二段说明传统与现代化的冲突并权衡利弊，第三段提出自己的观点。② 写作时注意语言做到准确流畅，可以适当应用复合句，使文章衔接自然。

Tradition and Modernization

The process of modernization today is even greater than before. It is unavoidable that some achievements are made ① at the cost of tradition. Many people believe that tradition should be reserved to the largest extent. On the one hand, they think that the tradition is the ②cream of history with perfect conclusion and abstraction, and thus it should be followed. On the other hand, we should keep our own traditional characteristics as a culture, so that we can find our own position in a world of ③ diversity.

However, some people believe that it is worthwhile to abandon tradition for modernization. In the first place, they view the history as a④ linear course moving forward, and outdated concepts must be timely eliminated. In the second place, they believe that civilization is more important, and should be realized ⑤ at all costs.

As far as I am concerned, we should sort out the universal truth in our tradition and stick to them. But we should also selectively put down some traditions for a better life.
