B篇1Saturday, June 16th In the morning, we went camping along a path in Green Natural Park. We were happy because it was a sunny day. We were expecting an enjoyable two-day holiday. On the way, we kept singing and making jokes. However, in the afternoon, when we finished our picnic at one oclock, it was dark and windy. Soon, there was a shower. Unluckily, none of us brought an umbrella. We ran about but we could found no place to hide. Twenty minutes passed and it was still raining. There were hours to go before we reached the campsite(野营地). It was even worse that our small compass(指南针)showed that we went to the wrong way. We had lost our way! We had to make a quick decision as it was raining heavily. Chris said we could set up a tent to hide in, so Mary and Tom helped to set up the tent. Chris and I tried to make a fire to keep us warm. But we were unable to light the fire, as everything was wet. We dried ourselves, chatted and waited inside the tent .At about five oclock, it stopped raining.

I have visited a place many times but I may still get lost there the next time. When I was a little girl，I never dared ask strangers the way. And so I used to walk round in circles and hope that by chance I would get to the place I was going to. Now，I am no longer too shy to ask people for directions，but I often receive helpless or even wrong information. So I try to avoid giving people wrong directions. If anyone ever asks me the way somewhere，I always say，“sorry，I am a stranger here.” Once on my way to work I was stopped by a man. He asked me if I could tell him the way to the Friendship Building. I gave him my usual reply. But just as I walked on only a few steps, I realized that he had asked the way to my office building. However, I had no time to turn back and look for him. I was rushing to meet with someone at my office and I didnt want to keep him waiting. When I just got to my office, the secretary showed in the man who had asked me for directions. Imagine how embarrassed I was and how surprised he was when we saw each other at the first sight!81. The writer always refuses to give people directions because _.

The man was quite nervous when he saw the writer.4 One afternoon I toured an art museum while waiting for my husband to finish a business meeting. I was looking forward to a quiet view of the art works. A young couple viewing the painting ahead of me chatted nonstop between themselves. I watched them a moment and decided the wife was doing all the talk . I admired the hushands patience for putting up with her continuous talk. Distracted by their noise, I moved on. I met with them several times as I moved through the different rooms of art. Each time I heard her constant burst of words, I moved away quickly. I was standing at the counter of the museum gift shop making a purchase when the couple came near to the exit. Before they left, the man reached into his pocket and pulled out a white object. He extended it into a long stick and then tapped his way into the coatroom to get his wifes jacket. “Hes a brave man,” The clerk at the counter said, “Most of us would give up if we were blinded at such a young age. During his recovery he made a promise that his life wouldnt change . So, as before , he and his wife come in whenever theres a new art show.” “But what does he get out of the art?” I asked, “He cant see.” “Cant see? Youre wrong. He sees a lot. More than you or I do. The clerk said, His wife describes each painting so he can see it in his head.” I learned something about patience, courage and love that day. I saw the patience of a young wife describing paintings to a person without sight and the courage of a husband who would not allow blindness to change his life. And I saw the love shared by two people as I watched this couple walk away hand in hand.56. The young couple were at an art museum_.

His friend passed him his first cigarette.He has now been smoking for more than 30 years. Its classic example of how young people are introduced to cigarettes, except that nowadays smokers develop their habit at an even younger age. It has become a major concern（担忧）in china that many teenagers begin to smoke. A survey showed that 22.5% of the middle school students questioned had tried smoking and 15.8% of them smoked regularly. For many teenagers, smoking is a symbol of being an adult, independence,maturity(成熟)and attractiveness because the images who they love best often smoke on screen. The social environment also plays an important role in attrancting teenagers to smoking. They are used to seeing their elders, especially male family members, smoking at home. Many of them imitate adult behavior and become new smokers. To increase the price of cigarettes is an effective way to reduce the number of young smokers, as teenagers have limited money to spend on them. Another way is to educate the teenagers to voluntarily refuse cigarettes. A survey shows that 92.5% of the students know smoking will be bad for their health. If we persuade them in a proper way , most of them may g
