We want to be free of anything that limits our choices. But limitations protect us. Without limitations on our behavior, too many of us will act without regard to the consequences for ourselves, for others, and for the future. Limitations contribute to, rather than take away from, our overall happiness.Assignment: Do rules and limitations contribute to a persons happiness?分类：规则与自由、成败幸福观例子1：Boeing, antitrust laws, split his business into different companies, 1934, Roosevelt Administration, a major aircraft manufacturerKey information: In 1934, the Roosevelt Administration passed new federal antitrust laws which forbid air mail carriers and aircraft manufacturers to be part of the same company.

Only by confronting unpleasant truths and by weighing both sides of complex issues can people understand the factswhether in history, politics, literature, or their own livesand make appropriate decisions. People may find it difficult, or uncomfortable, to think seriously about important matters, but not doing so means that they are leading lives without meaning or purpose.Assignment: Does every individual have an obligation to think seriously about important matters, even when doing so may be difficult?分类：成败幸福观、个人主义之独立思考、或社会意识例子1：Martin Luther King, civil rights, lead the 1955 Bus Boycott, against racial segregation, Nobel Peace Prize例子2：1955 Bus Boycott, an African American woman, refuse to surrender her seat to a white person, trigger the Montgomery Bus Boycott, African American passengers, paying customersKey information: The campaign lasted from December 1, 1955, when Rosa Parks, an African American woman, was arrested for refusing to surrender her seat to a white person, to December 20, 1956, when a federal ruling, Browder v.

They believe that even the strongest and most successful leaders need advisers to define their goals, and followers to carry out their plans. Real success, however, cannot be claimed by those who need others to solve their problems and help them confront obstacles. Only those whose accomplishments are truly their own can claim to be successful.Assignment: Is real success achieved only by people who accomplish goals and solve problems on their own?分类：个人主义与成败幸福观例子1：Boeing and George Conrad Westervelt: B&W airplane, Pacific Aero Products Co, aviation industry, George: US navy engineer例子2：Google founders: Sergey Brin and Larry Page, teamwork, largest internet company, search engineFurther Reading about Boeing：The son of a wealthy lumberman, William E. Boeing dropped out of Yale University in 1903 to begin his own lumber business in Washington State. His company proved quite successful. Years later, after attending a public exhibition of flying in Los Angeles, Boeing became fascinated by the field of aviation. When he flew for the first time in 1914, he became obsessed with building his own plane.Convinced he could build a better plane than those currently in the air, Boeing enlisted his engineering friend, George Conrad Westervelt, to design and build the B&W, a twin-float seaplane. Encouraged by this first effort, Boeing decided to begin his own plane-building company, Pacific Aero Products. He renamed it the Boeing Airplane Company the following year.In 1917, Boeing knew the Navy needed planes for WWI. Betting that his Model C seaplane just might be what they needed, he had the plane shipped off in pieces to Florida and reassembled for Navy officials to test. Boeings hunch paid off his company received an order for 50 of the planes. When WWI ended, however, the military drastically cut back its request for new planes. He kept his company afloat by building bedroom furniture, cabinets, and boats. Boeing persevered in the plane-building business, though. He produced a commercial bi-plane, the B-1, which made history March 3, 1919 when Boeing and pilot Eddie Hubbard flew the plane between Seattle and Vancouver, establishing the first international air mail route. The two men ran the route into the mid-1920s.Boeing outbid the other airlines in 1927 to win a contract to deliver air mail between San Francisco and Chicago. To keep up with the demands of handling air mail, Boeing built the new 40-A transport planes and formed Boeing Air Transport (BAT). BAT proved itself extremely successful. Under his vision and guidance, Boeings small company had grown by the late 1920s into a thriving business. In addition to Boeings transportation service, the company by now included divisions for manufacturing planes, engines and propellers.In 1934, the Roosevelt Administration passed new federal antitrust laws which forbid air mail carriers and aircraft manufacturers to be part of the same company. Boeings air mail contracts were cancelled and he was forced to split his business into several different companies. Later that year, Boeing sold all his stock in the company, but he never lost his enthusiasm for planes. He later volunteered his time as a consultant to Boeing during WWII. He began a very successful thoroughbred-breeding business, among many subsequent ventures. By the time he passed away in 1956, his company had grown into a major aircraft manufacturer about to enter the jet age.March 2011 SAT Essay PromptPrompt 1Reality television programs, which feature real people engaged in real activities rather than professional actors performing scripted scenes, are increasingly popular. These shows depict ordinary people competing in everything from singing and dancing to losing weight, or just living their everyday lives. Most people believe that the reality these shows portray is authentic, but they are being misled. How authentic can these shows be when producers design challenges for the participants and then editors alter filmed scenes?Assignment: Do people benefit from forms of entertainment that show so-called reality, or are such forms of entertainment harmful?分类：表象与真相、欺骗与诚实例子1：Susan Boyle, subvert stereotype, I Dreamed a Dream, challenge mainstream standard in the entertainment industry, Britains Got Talent例子2：“The Biggest Loser”, lose weight, couch potato开头示例：Reality television programs are increasingly popular and for good reason. People benefit from forms of entertainment that show so-called reality because the characters with real flaws and challenges shed light on common problems in society. Realism in literature and films, for example The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and Its a Wonderful Life, create settings and characters that face broader issues such as slavery and debt in a way that an everyday person might. Similarly contestants on reality TV face common challenges like losing weight or getting along with a roommate.提示：此题因为涉嫌对没有看过真人秀节目的考生不公而在美国国内引起了广泛争议。SAT负责人对此发公开信辩解。大意是此题并非有意造成不公，也并非鼓励大家去看真人秀。每个考题在考试前都经过大量测试，此题给出的prompt信息足够丰富，没有看过真人秀的考生也能够通过prompt提示写出好文章。由此我们得出推论：如果香港考场也遇到这种范围过于狭窄的考题且没有准备过，则有两个解决方案：1、编一个中国的或生活派的例子应对。2、根据prompt提供的素材展开议论。虽然美中不足可能会无法列出例子具体的名称（例如真人秀的节目名称）等。Prompt 2Photographs are very much a part of our daily lives. They show us faraway places, things to buy, important people and happenings, and sometimes just the ordinary. These pictures seem like frozen moments of real life. Cameras do copy what is in front of the lens, and so, in that sense, photographs show us what is real. They are at the same time, however, creations of the artists intentions and unconscious mind.Adapted from Leslie Sills, In Real Life: Six Women PhotographersAssignment: Are photographs straightforward representations of real life, or are they artistic creations reflecting the photographers point of view?分类：表象与真相，文艺价值观提醒：如果没有摄影家的例子，把写作重心转到照片一词就能找到突破口。无论是自己的生活照、艺术照还是苏珊大妈的封面照、灾难事件的新闻照、UFO的传说照，总有一款你能写。例子1：同上例子2：Dorothea Lange, Great Depression, capture some of the most moving moments, documentary photography, capture humanityKey information:Dorothea Lange made her mark in the field of photography during the Great Depression as she took some of the most moving and dramatic photos of people and circumstances in that era. She was tasked by the government to document this difficult time in Americas history, and she was the perfect woman for the job. Her photography sense is about capturing the essence of people and moments in one photograph. She started taking photographic portraits of rich and famous people, but she really shined when she started walking around the streets and mingling with people who are mostly down on their luck. Her work during this time not only defined her career, it also dictated how documentary photography developed. Most photographers just capture people in their photos but Dorothea Lange captured their humanity, earning her a spot as one of the most famous female photographers of all time.参考作文：Source: /user1/doctorzhang/archives/2011/3490.htmlStudent Sample Essay of Score of 6 -All artistic creations, no matter how seemingly rooted in real world and reflecting real lives, are ultimately artists creative minds and imaginations. Yes they portrays people, nature, and mostly everything we are familiar with and emotionally resonant to, they nevertheless are reflections of what artists see or want to see, feel or choose to feel, and tell and proclaim what they think about the world. This is true for almost all art forms, including even photos.True a photo is a snapshot of a real event, real scene, all in the real world. But it is just one instant picked out of numerous fleeting montages. It is the artists who make the decision to shoot that single moment, driven by certain motive sometimes conscious and many times not; by instincts perhaps only known to their own deepest souls; by imaginations mysteriously leaping through space and time and across generations both back and into the futures. The results, sometimes sweetly subtle and soothing, sometimes enlightening and soul-lifting, other times undifferentiating for the moment but lingering for life long, transcend and go beyond beyond those particulars and moments themselves, beyond people sitting within scenes surrounding, and beyond artists themselves.Who today still know Captain Dave Severance, Battalion Commander Chandler Johnson, First Lieutenant Harold G. Schrier, or even Sergeant Louis R. Lowery the photographer. Lets go back to the day of Feb 23, 1945. Captain Dave Severance was ordered by 2nd Battalion Commander Chandler Johnson to send a platoon to go take the mountain. Severance, the commander of Easy Company (2nd Battalion, 28th Marines, 5th Marine Division), ordered First Lieutenant Harold G. Schrier to lead the patrol. Just before Schrier was to head up the mountain Commander Chandler Johnson handed him a flag saying, “if you get to the top put it up.” Johnsons adjutant, second lieutenant Greeley Wells, had taken the 54 by 28 inches (140 by 71 cm) American flag from their transport ship, the USS Missoula (APA-211). The patrol reached the top without incident and the flag was raised, and photographed by Staff Sergeant Louis R. Lowery, a photographer with Leatherneck magazine. And that photo became that what we know today Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima.Is it really a flag! Upon seeing the photo, President Franklin D. Roosevelt realized the picture would make an excellent symbol for the upcoming 7th war bond drive, and ordered the Marines identifi
