“The only thing holding you back is yourself. Never say never”, said a rising 17-year-old singer, Justin Bieber, who was just an ordinary boy in Canada a few years ago.
After the accident of falling from the 18th floor and lying in the snow for three hours, my hands were frozen and my spinal cord (脊髓)was seriously injured. All the doctors and professors in the famous hospitals in Beijing told me that there was little chance for my hands and my body to recover (康复).
After half a year of medical treatments and recovering exercises, I could not make any more progress for over a year. What was worse , I suffered a lot from depression (绝望). On top of this, I suffered from insomnia, making every minute of the night seem to last forever. Hopelessly, mom and I came back to my hometown, which is small town in Guangdong.
At that time, I thought that I would never be able to walk again. I would never love and be loved. I would never be able to earn even a penny. I would never be able to repay the kindness I got from my parents and many nice people. Life was meaningless.
Now two years has passed. My hands are 80% recovered. I can even type faster than a healthy person! Up to now, I have worked for a law firm as an interpreter for half a year already. Although I don’t earn as much as before, I am able to pay for the food and clothes I need. What’s more, I even have extra money to buy thanksgiving presents for my parents and my boyfriend. Through my blogs (博客) , many people get to know me and like me. I can bring happiness to them. I can help those who are still suffering from depression and the pain of illnesses by chatting with them….You see, I am living a meaningful life and I am happier than ever I could have dreamed.
So, my friends, never say never. As long as you are alive, there is always hope and possibilities. It is never too late to take action to realize your dreams.     (382 words)

假如你是Mary的好朋友,她在生活中遇到了一些问题,并写了一封信向你求助,请你给她回一封信,回信因涉及到来信的每一个问题,词数80左右。

Dear Kathy,

   I have some problems and I need your help.

 I was good at English in the past, but now I am in Grade 3 and I find English is getting more and more difficult. Now I am facing a big test. How should I study for the English test?

   Another problem is that now I am not allowed to watch TV. My mother said It was a waste of time, but I don’t think so. I think It’s a good way to have a rest. How can I solve this problem?

   The last one is that I used to be thin, but now I am getting fatter and fatter. I am afraid to see my old friends, and I am very sad.

   I know you always come up with good ideas. Could you help me deal with these problems?

                                                                                             Yours,

                                                                                             Mary
