范文：
When it comes to the issue of space research, people vary in their views. Some journalists or free lancers maintain that it is a waste of money. However, through decades of practice and observation, it proves that this comment has many limitations.
Admittedly, the idea that space research is a waste of money does contain an element of truth. But the people who criticize the rising cost of space exploration tend to ignore two other essential aspects. To begin with, a nation can make the best use of its technology in space plans to serve the need of other countries. Therefore, the country in its space research can profit greatly from data exchange or rocket launching. In this sense, the financial return from the space plans will possibly far exceed the amount of the investment. What is more, through its space exploration, a nation can have more information about new material or the movement of heavenly bodies. All these results cannot be measured by money, but they are very important for the human beings.
Given the reasons above, it is safe to conclude that a nation has to enhance its awareness that space research is important for the human beings. On the other hand, central authorities is obliged to take broad actions to encourage space study. Still, Federal Government is expected to set aside sufficient fund each year rather than reducing it. Only in this way can space research develop quickly and benefit human beings in the future.(266 words)

当谈到太空研究的问题,人们的观点各不相同。一些记者或免费枪骑兵认为这是浪费钱。然而,通过几十年的实践和观察,证明这个评论有很多局限性。
不可否认,认为太空研究是一种对金钱的浪费并包含一个元素的真理。但批评太空探索成本上升的人倾向于忽视其他两个基本方面。首先,一个国家可以充分利用其技术在太空计划为其他国家的.需要。因此,国家在太空研究可以从数据交换或火箭发射利润很大。从这个意义上说,太空计划的财务回报可能会远远超过投资的数量。更重要的是,通过其太空探索,一个国家可以有更多关于新材料的信息或天体的运动。所有这些结果不能用金钱来衡量,但他们对人类是非常重要的。
鉴于上述原因,得出结论,一个国家必须加强安全意识,太空研究对人类很重要。另一方面,中央政府有义务采取广泛行动鼓励空间研究。不过,联邦政府预计每年留出足够的基金,而不是减少它。只有这样才能空间研究迅速发展,造福人类。(266字)
