书面表达

某校英文报开辟了一个专栏：Experience。本期话题是如何解决学习中遇到的困难。请你以“My Approach to Difficulties in Learning”为题，用英语写一篇短文。谈谈自己的一些做法。

要求： 1.词数100左右

2.短文中不能出现本人的相关信息。

Several hundred strangers received “love letters” from a young man on the street. The letter was written and given out by Yang Yang，a student majoring in human resources at Chongqing University of Science and Technology, who hoped to show his disappointment with job hunting.

Yang's story has caught media attention perhaps because it is similar to those of millions of recent graduates seeking jobs and struggling for survival in the country's wealthiest cities. They have diplomas, rather than professional skills, and come to big cities in hopes of better lives, only to find low-paying jobs and poor living conditions.

They are China's “ant tribe (蚁族)”，a term coined by sociologist Lian Si from Peking University in his 2009 book, Ant Tribe.“They're so similar to ants. They share small and narrow living areas. They're intelligent and hard?working, yet nameless and underpaid.”The term also speaks to their helplessness in a world governed by the law of the jungle－only the strongest survive.

A survey in Lian's another book published this year, Ant Tribe Ⅱ， found nearly 30 percent of “ants” are graduates of famous universities－almost three times last year's percentage. Most had degrees in popular majors. In addition, 7.2 percent of “ants” have at least a master's degree compared to 1.6 percent in 2009.

An “ant's” average monthly salary is 1,904 yuan, with about 64 percent of them earning less than 2,000 yuan a month.

Another survey in the 2010 Annual Report on the Development of Chinese Talent found more than 1 million “ants” live in big cities.

“Most ants are from rural families or small towns, and their experiences in universities didn't arm them well enough to fight with competitors in big cities' employment markets.”Professor Zhang Ming at Renmin University of China said.

The “ant tribe's” embarrassing living situations have become a serious social problem, and the government should develop smaller cities to attract more graduates from big cities, Zhang believed.

However, “ants” expect more study and training opportunities in big cities, which keeps them positive despite their situations.

1.Yang's story is introduced in order to ________.

A．analyze graduates' difficulties in finding jobs

B．lead to the topic of the article－“ant tribe”

C．tell readers a story about those big cities

D．show a clever way of dealing with pressure

2.“Ant tribe” members are similar to ants in the following aspects EXCEPT that ________.

A．they live in narrow and small places in groups

B．they work hard but earn little for survival

C．they are in a world judged by the jungle law

D．they are pleased with being nameless and underpaid

3.By writing this article, the author mainly intends to show________.

A．despite better education，“ants” are still struggling

B．despite difficulties，“ants” have a promising future

C．better education, better job opportunities

D．Ant Tribe is a good book to help understand today's China

Having just quit a highly moneymaking job with tech giant Microsoft in the United States，where he’d made millions working as a program manager，Patrick Awuah would wake up once in a while wondering if he’d done the right thing．

What Awuah wanted was to create a university in his native Ghana．a state-of-the-art education centre that would help educate the country’s next generation of leaders．Awuah moved with his family，back to Ghana．There，he invested his own money and with the help of other donors he founded Ashesi University．

“Africa needs to have a renaissance(复兴),” says Awuah as he explained what drove him to

take the risky decision．“The world needs to change in this way and I strongly believe that people like me need to be part of the solution；I need to be really actively involved in helping to drive this change in Africa‘‘

Located about an hour's drive from the capital Accra，Ashesi，which appropriately translates to “beginning,” is the first Ghanaian university to combine technical majors with a liberal arts approach．Its campus，set on 100 acres in a town called Berekuso，was designed to be inspiring for the more than 500 young Ghanaians studying there．

“So when I look at universities I see Africa fast—forward 30 years．When this 20-year-old is now in his or her 50s，that person is going to be a leader．”

Today Ashesi，which celebrates its 10th anniversary this year，offers degrees in business，

information systems and computer science．There are plans to offer engineering and economics majors in the near future．The school’s graduation rate is between 70％and 90％，according to Awuah．

In our last freshman class，50％ of the students paid full tuition(学费)，25％were on full

scholarships and 25％on partial scholarships ,”he said．“The reason why variety is so important is that the most important conversation on campus is a conversation about the good society—what is the good society we would like to see in Africa? That conversation is a lot more interesting if you have variety in the classroom，”adds Awuah． 。

1.In Awuah’s opinion，Africa should be changed by

A．investing more money for development

B．developing computer science

C．training future leaders for development

D．founding more universities

2.The underlined sentence in the first paragraph infers that “_____”.

C．Awuah wondered whether it was right to invest for a university

D．Awuah felt it wrong that he had refused a job with a large salary

3.The university founded by Awuah_____.

C．50％ of the new students in Ashesi receive education for free．

Claude Monet is surely one of the most famous French artists of all. Monet was particularly interested in the effect of light and would paint the same scene in different lighting conditions or times of the day. For example, he painted around 20 versions of the Rouen Cathedral from dawn to dusk. His most famous paintings include his Water lilies series.

The paintings of Paul Cézanne had a lot of influence in the development of 20th century art, including Cubism (立体派) and Fauvism (野兽派). Cézanne is one of the most famous French artists and is known as a “post-impressionist”, which was similar in some ways to impressionism but also broke away from some of its limitations. Famous French paintings include his Bathers and Mont St Victoire series.

Henri Matisse was one of the most important famous French artists of the 20th century. He was considered one of the leaders of the Fauvist movement. He had a long and varied (多样化的) artistic career, painting in different styles ranging from Impressionism to Abstract. In 1941, Matisse was diagnosed with cancer and was forced into a wheelchair. But this didn’t stop him completing the amazing Chapel of the Rosary in Vence.

Degas is probably one of the most fascinating of all the famous French artists. He is known as one of the founders of Impressionism, but his paintings were also influenced by classicism, romanticism, and realism. His style is definitely very unique. He was a prolific (多产的) artist, producing over one thousand works. He is best known for his paintings of ballet dancers.

Three Japanese tourists taking a holiday in Australia got stuck when their GPS to1d them they could drive from the mainland to an island，failing to mention the 15 kilometres of water and mud in between．

As they drove their hired car from Moreton Bay to nearby North Stradbroke Island，they started to notice the firm surface they were driving on giving way to the well-known bay mud．However，being confident that their GPS would direct them to a road soon，they decided to drive on，managing to travel around 500 metres before their car was up to its tires in mud．To make matters worse，the tide(潮汐)started to come in and soon forced them to seek help and abandon the vehicle．Just four hours later the car was trapped m two metres of water —to the great amusement of onlookers on the shore and passengers on passing boats and ferries．

Peter waved goodbye and closed the door slowly as Jane left home to visit her grandmother. Expecting a whole day to relax, he was thinking whether to read the newspaper or watch his favorite TV talk show on his first day off in months. “This will be like a walk in the park,” he’d told his wife, “I’ll look after the kids, and you can go to visit your grandma.”

Things started well, but just after eight o’clock, his three little “good kids”—Adam, Bob, and Christopher—came down the stairs in their night clothes and shouted “breakfast, daddy.” When food had not appeared within thirty seconds, Adam began using his spoon on Christopher’s head as if it were a drum. Christopher started to shout loudly in time to the beat (节拍). Bob chanted “Where’s my toast, where’s my toast” in the background. Peter realized his newspaper would have to wait for a few seconds.

Life became worse after breakfast. Adam wore Bob’s underwear on his head. Bob locked himself in the bathroom, while Christopher shouted again because he was going to wet his pants. Nobody could find clean socks, although they were before their very eyes. Someone named “Not Me” had spilled a whole glass of orange juice into the basket of clean clothes. Peter knew the talk show had already started.

By ten o’clock, things were out of control. Christopher was wondering why the fish in the jar refused his bread and butter. Adam was trying to show off his talent by decorating the kitchen wall with his color pencils. Bob, thankfully, appeared to be reading quietly in the family room, but closer examination showed that he was eating apple jam straight from the bottle with his hands. Peter realized that the talk show was over and reading would be impossible.

At exactly 11:17, Peter called the daycare centre (日托所).“I suddenly have to go into work and my wife’s away. Can I bring the boys over in a few minutes?” The answer was obviously “yes” because Peter was smiling.

B. enjoy his first day off work in weeks

C. watch TV talk show with his children

D. go out for a walk in the nearby park

2.Which of the following did Bob do?

A. Using his spoon on Christopher’s head.

B. Wearing his underwear on his head

C. Reading quietly in the family room.

D. Eating apple jam from the bottle.

A. Because he had to pick up his wife back home.

B. Because he found it hard to kill the time home.

C. Because he wanted to go to his office to work.
