分析 本题特点是"读写结合"，考查考生阅读理解、要点概括、用英语叙事说理等多方面能力．解答此类试题，除了要注意一般写作规范之外，还要准确理解所给文章的中心思想并准确予以解读和概括．
亮点句型一：what surprised me most was that the old lady didn't cry．最让我吃惊的是老太太没有哭．本句中what surprised me most是主语从句，引导词what在从句中做主语； 从句that the old lady didn't cry在句中做表语．
亮点句型二：She looked after several children living nearby，some of whom even has been admitted into famous universities．她照看几个住在附近的孩子，有些甚至被列入名牌大学．这是一个非限制性定语从句，关系代词whom在从句指代先行词children．

解答 I'll never forget an old lady who was my neighbor．She lived in a small house alone．It was said that her husband and her son had died in a traffic accident．How bitter her life was!I had thought she would lock her door and bury herself in sorrow all day long．But what surprised me most was that the old lady didn't cry．（亮点句型一）Instead，she often helped others with a smile．Whenever it snowed，she was always the first to clean the paths．She looked after several children living nearby，some of whom even has been admitted into famous universities．（亮点句型二）I often remember the stories she told us and her kind smile．Perhaps she is unlucky，but I think she is a happy person．Her life is full of laughter and love．
    Now I know what happiness is．It means kindness，love and unselfishness．Above all，only bringing happiness to others can make yourself get it，which can't be bought by money．liang
