　　根據(jù)所給提綱，本文應(yīng)包含如下內(nèi)容：提出第1種觀點：節(jié)儉和樸素的生活方式已經(jīng)過時了，并說明理由;提出第2種觀點：節(jié)儉和樸素仍然是一種美德，并說明理由;表明“我”對節(jié)儉的看法，并說明理由。

　　Is Thrift Still a Good Virtue?
　　With the improvement of the living standards, many people are [1]no longer interested in the simple life style [2]and some of them even feel ashamed to be thrifty. What they pursue is the latest fashion. In their eyes, thrift is already out of style.
　　[3]However, still other people insist that thrift is a good virtue. They say that the unprecedented power of production doesn’t mean that we are entitled to a life of extravagance, because our natural resources are limited [2]and some of them even are [4]on the decline. [5]Moreover, they hold that waste may lead to degradation of social atmosphere and environmental pollution as well.
　　[6]As to me, I prefer the latter opinion. I believe [7] “Waste not, want not.” The truth of this saying is [8]not to give up comfort but to enhance efficiency. [5]In fact, economic growth depends enormously on saving. [5]Besides, there are still millions of Chinese [9]living under poverty line. We can never afford reckless waste. [5]Therefore, [10]it is no doubt that thrift is still a good virtue that we should not give up.
