Question

【题目】In the wild, lions tend to pick on the animals that are weak, old, sick or hurt. Even with the strength of their numbers they will go after the easy prey(捕猎).

The lions picked their prey of choice for this poor Gazelle. The Gazelle, surrounded by lions, looks as if she were crying when the camera closed up on her face.

The lions were faster than the Gazelle, and my goodness they were smart. When the lions got close enough to the Gazelle, even while running at speed, they would trip the running animal.

This Gazelle was moving. When pressure came from a different angle she changed directions. When she could feel the breath of the lions on her neck she changed direction. When they tried to trip her, stop her, trick her, block her, she changed direction. She ran until they stopped chasing after her. It was pointless to the lions. This Gazelle had purpose. She was running for her life.

I do not care what, who, when, where, or how often life tries to take you down a path you have not intended to go. If you feel the pressure and things are not going the way they should, change direction.

Answer 1

【答案】What the passage conveys is that we should change direction flexibly while going through challenges and even dangers in our life, which is of significance to our development and success.

It is necessary for us to change direction at the right moment. Following the wrong path stubbornly, we may waste a lot of time and energy, with which we could otherwise achieve a lot. More importantly, we may lose some precious opportunities in life if we don’t adapt ourselves to different situations in time.

In our daily life, there are many cases like what Gazelle experienced, in which we suffer failures because we haven’t changed direction in time. For instance, if we analyze some very difficult problems from different angles in our study, we can solve them more easily. Therefore, to run for my life I will change direction when I’m stuck in the things life throws at me.

【解析】文章主要讲的是自然界中狮子与瞪羚的生存状态，瞪羚在被狮子围追堵截时，瞪羚不断改变自己的方向直到狮子不再追它，瞪羚在自然界的生存法则告诉了我们当在生活中感受到压力和事情不往正确的方向发展时，适当改变自己的方向。

首先，同学们在概述文章的内容时一定要做到简洁明了符合字数要求，要能够突出文章内容的中心。

第二，根据写作内容的要求，一定要有根据文章内容分析适当改变方向的必要性和结合实际谈谈自己的理解和启示这两部分的内容。结合文章信息分析必要性时要逐点清晰地阐述，使得文章结构清晰内容流畅；结合实际谈自己的理解与启示时，要适当举例，不能只是空虚的概括性文字。

第三，注意使用出色的短语和漂亮的句式。

第四，可借鉴范文中优秀之处：如使用“What the passage conveys is that……”而不要总是使用the passage tells us that等十分常见而普通的句式；又如“It is necessary for us to……”的句式；范文很多地使用非限制性定语从句，使句式丰富而不单一；还有adapt to和stuck in 等优秀的短语等等。
