阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。

In modern society, more and more people have great pressure in their work. They have to work day and night. Some of them suffer from too much work. And some are even killed by overwork.

Which is more important, health or wealth? Some people think that wealth is more important than health. In their opinion, money is everything. “I would rather be the slave of money than the slave of people.” This is what they appreciate most. In order to earn more money, some of them spend most of the time working, running the rest of their life for wealth.

As a matter of fact, health is more important than wealth because health is the foundation of wealth. Without health, you can hardly imagine where the wealth comes from. Even if you are wealthy, how can you enjoy your wealth when you gave lost your health? In other words, wealth is based on health and wealth serves health. However, we cannot ignore wealth. Without money, we can do nothing.
