There are first-class ships and airplanes to take him where his dreams lie.We travel to increase our knowledge of the world in which we live. Knowledge obtained from books alone is not enough.

Career women are healthier than housewives. Evidence shows that the jobless are in poorer health than the job-holders. A study shows that whenever the employment rate increases by 1%, the death rate increase correspondingly(相应地) by 2%. All this comes down to one point: work is helpful to health.Why is work good for health? It is because work keeps people busy, away from loneliness. Researches show that people feel unhappy, worried and lonely when they have nothing to do. Instead, the happiest are those who are busy. Work serves as a bridge between man and reality. By work, people come into contact with each other. By collective activities, they find friendship and warmth. This is helpful to health. The loss of work means the loss of everything. It affects man spiritually and makes him likely to disease. Besides, work gives one a sense of fulfillment and a sense of achievement. Work makes one feel his value and status in society. When a writer finishes his writing or teacher sees his students grow, they are happy beyond words.写作内容1)以约30个词概括短文的要点；2)然后以约120个词就“努力学习，快乐生活”的主题发表看法，并包括如下要点：a)你赞同“努力学习也可以快乐生活”这一观点吗？为什么？b)举例说明你的同学是如何努力学习并保持健康乐观的心态的？c)简述如何才能做到努力学习并快乐生活？写作要求(1)可以使用实例或其它论述方法支持你的论点，也可以参照阅读材料的内容，但不得直接引用原文中的句子；(2)标题自定。 3A few months ago, Peter worked for a short time as a cashier at a restaurant. He also helped clear the tables when it was especially busy. One night, just before Christmas, he found a large black wallet on the floor near one of the tables. He guessed he should have checked it for the owners identification, but he was very busy at the time. Also, he figured that if the wallet contained anything valuable, the owner would be back. Sure enough, an hour later a man came up to the counter and asked if anyone had found a wallet. Peter asked him to describe the lost wallet, and after he had described it exactly, he gave the man the wallet. He seemed greatly relieved when Peter handed it to him.The man asked Peter if he had opened it, and when he was told “No”, he at once opened it and revealed nearly $ 1,000 in cash. He took out a 20-dollar bill and handed it to Peter. Peter pushed it back. “Bless you for saving my Christmas plans. Its people like you who make everything in the world look good,” the man said and then turned and walked away.写作内容1. 以约30个词概括短文要点；2. 然后以约120个词写一篇记叙文，描写一次助人为乐的经历，并包括以下要点：(1)叙述一次助人为乐的真实或虚构的经历，你或你身边的人是帮助者或受助者；(2)你或你身边的人遇到了什么事情；(3)事情最后的结局写作要求1. 可以参照阅读材料的篇章结构组织故事，但不能直接引用原文中的句子；2. 标题自拟。4Everyone has an experience they would rather forget. some are embarrassing, some are moving, and some teach us a lesson. here is a story of mine.Last Sunday I went fishing. after setting up my fishing rod with bait, I sat down on the bank of the lake. but two hours later, I didnt catch any fish.

The next generations future is in danger and there is a need to understand the causes of the problem and find a solution. In the last 10 years, studies have found an alarming increase in:Obesity The number of overweight middle school students has doubled. Poor diet, especially the overeating of junk food and the overdrinking of soft drinks, and the lack of physical activity are identified as the main reasons for this problem.Poor eyesightMore students now wear glasses and from an earlier age. Long hours of study and heavy use of computers and mobile phones are most commonly blamed.StressStudents feel under more pressure to succeed than ever before. The long hours of study and homework they must do to achieve success, plus pressure from parents and schools are the main causes.Some have suggested including Physical Education (P. E.) in the Gaokao as a possible solution to students health problems. They say this will force students to be more active, play sports and therefore lose weight. Others, however, oppose the idea, saying that adding one more test to the Gaokao would only increase students workload and stress and would actually worsen their overall health.Although there is no easy answer, all agree that something must be done to stop the serious decline in students health.【写作内容】1以约30个词概括这段短文的内容；2然后以约120个词就“健康与学习”的话题进行写作，内容包括： (1)你是否赞成体育人高考及原因； (2)健康与学习的关系； (3)你认为还有什么方式可以帮助学生提高身体素质。【写作要求】1在作文中可以使用自己亲身的经历或虚构的故事，也可以参照阅读材料的内容，但不得直接引用原文中的句子；6. 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。 A young man was slapped in the face until he bled because he didnt offer his seat to a woman with a baby on a bus in downtown Hangzhou. Later he was proved to be a disabled person. In a series of cases nationwide, we see people being beaten for refusing to give up their seats on public transport, which seems to be a moral problem about correct behavior and self-sacrifice. People with moral deficiency (who dont give up their seats to deserving people) can be condemned, but they dont deserve to be treated with violence because they offend moral values and not laws. In comparison, the attackers behave worse. The attackers regard relying on violence as their only choice if people ignore their appeals to give up their seats. It seems they start a shout or a fight for the sake of justice, but can they still think of their personal intention when they call violence justice? This “violent justice” can confuse many people and encourage them to do the same, especially when we are overpowered by illogical mood. If cruel and rude acts are rooted in childrens hearts, society will never step into civilization. The practice violates common values, neither solving problems nor safeguarding civilized society.【写作内容】1、以约30个词概括短文的要点。2、以约120个词谈谈你对这一事件的看法，内容包括：1）读完这则新闻，你有什么感受？2）假如你是车上的一名乘客，你会怎样做？3）就如何创建和谐社会提出你的建议。【写作要求】你可以使用实例或其它论述方法支持你的论点，也可以参照阅读材料的内容，但不要抄袭阅读材料中的句子。1On Modern TransportationWith the help of science, transportation makes traveling safer and easier, which brings lots of benefits like satisfying mans curiosity and increasing mans knowledge of the world.I cant agree more. As the legend goes: To carry the news of the Greek victory, Philippines a professional runner, had to run 42 kilometers without stopping. He dropped dead of exhaustion after shouting, “Rejoice, we conquer!” That happened in 490BC, but now its easy for us to cover this distance by car. With the help of modern transportation, we can go everywhere we prefer to. Even the journey to outer space is not a dream any more.Despite the obvious advantages of modern transportation, it has also created many negative effects such as air pollution, traffic jams and lack of energy. To solve the problems, in my mind, there are two ways. On one hand, rules should be made for drivers to follow. On the other hand, if possible, wed better use bicycles instead of cars to save energy as well as easing traffic jams.2Study hard and enjoy yourselvesThe author highlights the effect of work on peoples health, because it can rid one of loneliness, and make one feel fruitful and proud of himself, which always contributes to a good body.In common with the author, I agree that the harder you work, the happier you will be, as hard work can keep a person busy, and gives one a sense of achievement, hence he will be self-confident and feel happy.Around me, some of my classmates work very hard, hoping to fulfill their dream. However, they dont seem unhappy. Oppositely, they try to find fun even under the pressure of the NMET. For example, they may share the joy with others when working out a problem. Sometimes they may play a trick on his partner using the newly-learned idioms, thus refresh themselves quickly. As for me, I think only when we truly experience what fun it is, can we spare no effort to study hard and meanwhile enjoy ourselves.Help Is Sweet DewThe passage tells us that Peter found a wallet but didnt keep it for himself. Instead, he waited for the owner to return to claim it. However, he refused the owners reward. (32 words)What Peter did reminds me of a story that happened two years ago. My father had promised that if I got over 80 in my Chinese, maths and English exams, he would take me to travel to Japan during the summer vacation. I worked very hard for nearly four months, and finally my hard work paid off.However, when we were discussing the details of the plan, my father received a call from my aunt. He was told that my cousin had been admitted into a famous university in Beijing, but they could not afford to pay the university fees unless some relatives offered to help. I really wanted to go to Japan, but decided to cancel my trip and give the money to my cousin instead.When my cousin left for Beijing in September, I could tell from his sweet smile that I had made a correct decision.Patience The story is about an unforgettable lesson of the writer from an old man while fishing, through which the writer realized patience was very important and that it was the secret of success.I have a similar experience. once I waited for the bus at the stop for 30 minutes, no bus came. I couldnt wait any longer and decided to walk to school. but no sooner had I left than the bus arrived. I thought if I had waited for one more minute, I would have caught it. if I wanted to take the next bus, I would have to wait for another 30 minutes. only then did I realize the importance of patience. being impatient will waste all the efforts that we have made. patience also plays an important part in our study and life. with it we can achieve greater. now, whenever I am to lose my patience, Ill think of the experience of waiting for a bus.5概述一 This passage lists some of the causes for the decline of Chinese students health and discusses one possible solution to the problem including P.E. in the Gaokao.(W;27)概述二 Students health has become worse and worse, such as obesity, poor eyesight and stress. It causes concerns among people. Some suggest including P.E, in the Gaokao, to solve the problem, while others are opposed.(W;34)概述三 The decline of the Chinese students health causes concerns among people. Although not all agree to the solution to include P.E, in the Gaokao, all think measures should be taken toprevent the decline.(W;34)In my opinion, its unreasonable to include P.E. in the Gaokao. While students may spend more time doing physical exercise to prepare for the test, this doesnt mean they will improve their health. On the contrary, additional test
