题目内容
5.阅读下面的短文,然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英文短文.Every morning,on his way to work,Mike passed an old man who was always at the same place with a cup in his hand hoping to get a bit of change from those who passed by.For most people,this person was someone to be ignored as if he didn't exist,someone who they didn't want to be bothered with.However,Mike would always say good morning to him and wish him a nice day and sometimes would drop a dollar or two in his cup.This behavior went on for several years until one day before retirement.
He told the man that he would no longer pass by because it was his last day on the job.The man took his hand and shook it warmly saying that he had always looked forward to seeing Mike not because he dropped a few dollars in his cup.He said he would miss him because he was one of the few people who said hello and bid him good day.The man also said that his warm words always brightened his day and helped him to continue.
We all have power of words and we often do not recognize that some can be devastating(毁灭性的) while some can be encouraging.

解答 Every day Mike said hello and sometimes gave one dollar or two to an old man who was begging for a bit of change.His words encouraged the old man to continue his hard life.【简单描述】
I couldn't agree more with what Mike did for the old man every day.Words have such great power that they can influence people greatly,either devastating or encouraging.Words have magic power over people.A few worm words may brighten a day while just a hurtful sentence may leave a deep scar in a fragile heart.In our daily life,we should pay attention to what we say since it is like a double-edged sword.【个人观点】
I also experienced the power of words.It was a time when I failed in the first exam at senior high school.(亮点句型一)So depressed did I feel that I did not feel like talking to anyone at all.(亮点句型二)Yet after class my teacher Mr.Wang invited me to his office and said smilingly to me,"I hope you will not be defeated by temporary failure.Pick up your courage and prove that you are the best next time,will you?"All of a sudden,my world was brightened by his inspiring words.It seemed as if a stream of warmth flowed into my heart and instantly I was filled with energy and ambition to fight again.【例证语言的力量】

Take NASA for example.
In order to catch NASA's eye,would-be astronauts must not only stand out in required skills and pass physical and psychological exams,but also find unique ways to (41)Dthemselves from the harsh competition.
NASA's requirements for becoming an astronaut have changed over the years.Originally,it (42)Kcandidates with a military flight background,with at least 1,000 hours spent in command of a jet aircraft.In 1978,however,NASA (43)Hits focus to a more varied group of astronauts:scientists and engineers with at least three years of experience in their respective fields.
During the years of shuttle missions,everyone had a (44)J:some would focus on robotics,others on spacewalks or maintenance.To work on the space station,astronauts must be able to perform all tasks,which encourage (45)Bto acquire different experiences.Jeanette Epps,an astronaut,studied aerospace engineering,worked at Ford Motor Company and took a job with the CIA before joining NASA.She says astronauts'varied backgrounds (46)Fto their ability to adapt and learn anything quickly.
After ensuring that candidates are U.S.citizens and that they satisfy (47)Aeducation and experience requirements,the selection committee enters a gray area."We're not really looking for one thing,just a good mix of things,"said Duane Ross,the manager for astronaut candidate selection and training.
To the committee,candidates who take on (48)Ioutside of the workplace demonstrate curiosity and energy.Many astronauts who don't have a military background do hold a(n)(49)Epiloting license.Some are enthusiastic mountain climbers,scuba divers or skiers.Others are musicians,dancers,or play competitive sports.Choosing to (50)Gthemselves to different,extreme environments counts as another way to stand out from the crowd.
