Today, thousands of men, women and children belong to groups to discuss the books they read. No one is sure how many Americans belong to reading groups called book clubs. Yet publishers and bookstores report that more and more people throughout the United States are joining them. Most of the clubs work the same way. Members read the same book at the same time. Then they meet to talk about the book. Members may be friends or people who live near each other. Or, they may be people who work together. Some book clubs develop from other organizations. Religious and community groups often establish book clubs. Some Americans belong to reading groups on the Internet service. These groups include people around the world who communicate about books they read. These people send emails instead of meeting to discuss books. Book clubs may be for only women or only men.

She calls me at 10:30 pm every night to make sure Ive arrived home safely. If I accidentally miss her call, she will keep calling all my friends and roommates until she tracks me down. As a 20-year-old lady in Beijing, sometimes I have to ask my friends to be quiet so that I can pick up my mothers phone call, telling her a white lie that Im already at home. Recently I ran into a matchmaking meeting, which is held in a park and specifically designed for single white collar workers in Beijing. The interesting part is that all of the attendees are single peoples parents, eager to look for a life partner for their children. One mother told me that her 33-year-old son is busy with his career and has zero time to find a suitable girl for himself. So she goes to the matchmaking every week, trying to find her son a perfect bride. She guaranteed that her future daughter-in-law doesnt need to worry about anything for she has prepared an apartment and a car for them, and if they cant find a kindergarten near the apartment she has bought, she will buy them another one.

In another way, failure may be a way towards success. The “spider story often told, Robert Bruce, leader of the Scots in the 13th century, was hiding in a cave from the English. He watched a spider spinning a web. The spider tried to reach across a rough place in the rock. He tried six times without success. On the seventh time he made it and went to spin his web. Bruce is said to have taken heart and to have gone on to defeat the English. Edison, the inventor of the light bulb, made hundreds of models that failed before he found the right way to make one. Abraham Lincoln, the famous American president, lost elections more times than he won them! He never gave up in the face of failure but kept trying and was eventually elected to Congress and then the presidency.So what? First, always think about your failure. What caused it? Were conditions right? Were you in top from yourself? What can you change so things will go right next time? Second, is the goal youre trying to reach the right one? Try to do some thinking about what your real goals may be. Think about this question. “If I do succeed this time, where will it get me? This may help you prevent failure in things you shouldnt be doing anyway. The third thing to bear in mind about failure is that its part of life. Learn to “live with yourself” even though you may have failed.

As we know, teenagers are going through a special period of development both physically and psychologically. They are curious about and puzzled by the unexpected changes in their body and mind. Whats more, exposed to a world of adults, it is only too natural for them to begin imitating adults behaviors in secret. Boys begin to smoke and girls begin to spend time doing their hair and care more about what to wear. Some even begin to date with a girlfriend or boyfriend without letting their parents know. They are doing all this in secret because they are still unsure whether it is right to do so and afraid that, if found out by their parent, they will get misunderstood and even punished. In fact, in many cases, parents can not deal with such matters well but hurt their childrens feelings badly, making children unwilling to communicate with them any more. When this happens, it hurts terribly feelings of the family as well. Therefore, it sounds reasonable and acceptable that teenagers should keep their secrets to themselves instead of sharing them with their parents, who should give them the freedom in dealing with secrets. 写作内容1. 以约30个词概括上面文章的要点；2. 然后以约120个词就“青少年的秘密该不该与父母分享”这一话题_9 I believe in the power of the well-written thank-you letters. My sister and I were taught at a very early age to write thank-you letters for birthday and Christmas gifts. We carefully copied addresses from our moms address book into our own pretty little books. We wrote our letters on December 26th at the latest every year. It was an important activity in our home, and it has turned me into an eager thank-you-letter writer as an adult. Nearly every Monday morning I sit down with my favorite pen and write a few thank-you letters. I write them for parties I attend, dinners Im fed, or just to thank a friend for listening. Several years ago I even sent my mom a thank-you letter to thank her for teaching me to count my blessings on paper. Sending letters of thanks out into the world has made me more appreciative of the love, support, and kindness I receive daily. I am more motivated to do kind things for others when I feel appreciated, and I feel that I keep kindness and generosity living by genuinely expressing my thanks. 写作内容1.以约30词概括上文的主要内容。2.以约120词就“表示感谢”这个话题发表你的看法_10 Today before you think of saying an unkind word, think of someone who cant speak. Before you complain about the taste of your food, think of someone who has nothing to eat. Before you complain about your husband or wife, think of someone whos crying out to God for a companion.Today before complain about life, think of someone who went too early to heaven. Before you complain about your children, think of someone who desires children but theyre unable to be pregnant. Before you argue about your dirty house or someone didnt clean or sweep, think of the people who are living in the streets. Before whining about the distance you drive, think of someone who walks the same distance with their feet.And when you are tired and complain about your job, think of the unemployed, the disabled and those who wished they had your job. But before you think of pointing the finger or condemning another, remember that not one of us is without sin and we all answer to one maker. And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down, put a smile on your face and thank God youre alive and still around.Life is a gift. Love it. Enjoy it. Celebrate it. And fulfill it and most of all love it!写作内容1. 概括短文的内容要点，该部分的词数约30。2. 以约120个词就 “珍惜拥有的东西”发表你的看法_11 On Sundays my father always wore that dull gray apron (围裙). The ritual began after breakfast when Dad always announced, Go ahead everyone. Ill take care of the dishes! Off came the suit coat he had worn to church that morning. Up went the shirtsleeves. On went that apron. For the next hour Dad did the dishes, singing songs like Who Put the Chow in Mrs, Murphys Chowder? I suppose it was strange for a boys father to wear an apron but I never thought much of it until the day that Dad broke with tradition. It was the last Sunday in August. Tommy, he said letting my name roll off his tongue. My mind raced ahead of his words: A new bike? A part-time-job? There comes a time in every boys life when he must take on responsibilities. Responsibilities? I asked. Yes, Its time you took a greater role in the household. Power tools? Boss my baby brother? Starting today, I want you to do the dishes on Sunday morning so your mother and I can work the crossword puzzle together. The dishes ! ? Anything wrong with taking over the dishes, son? Ask me to run through a rainstorm. Command me to ride the roller coaster-backward.These things I would do. But I could never do those dishes. There was nothing left but to refuse.
