【题目】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 the power of words and we often do not recognize that some can be devastating(毁灭性的) while some can be encouraging.

(2)谈谈日常生活中言语的力量;

(3)以你或他人的经历举例论证言语的力量。

【写作要求】

2. 作文中不能出现真实姓名和学校名称。

【评分标准】

概括准确,语言规范,内容合适,篇章连贯。

【题目】【原创】Here are some apps (程序)on your phones which can help you think positively or aim at happiness. Examine them, and you can have fun .

Happify is perhaps the most popular positive app available now. By asking some questions about your goals in using the app, it recommends you some tracks.

Each track contains games and activities that guide you to seeing positive aspects of your daily life. It also regularly helps you assess your happiness level, pointing out how you can feel more positive merely by changing your habits. There’s also a community page in the app where you can see inspirational comments by other users and even upload your own .

Happify’s only drawback is that while it’s free to download and use, access to its full range of activities costs $13 a month or $70 a year.

Other apps use a different route to developing positive thinking habits. They simply expose you repeatedly to motivational ideas, quotes and suggestions.

Positive Thinking is a relatively simple attempt at this kind of app. It uses colorful imagery and simple controls, and has a list of motivational quotes and suggestions everything from “do sports” to “stop thinking ... sit there relaxed.” It’s extremely basic, and there’s not a huge amount of content but you may find it has some good ideas and it’s free.

The app Mood Journal, which costs $2, has a great-looking. Through text-entry controls you can make a diary-style note in the app of when you’re feeling positive, and also add a photo. When you’ve accumulated enough entries, the app presents some analytics in the form of graphs that show your positivity over time. This could help you plan strategies to be more positive. , and also add a photo or a selfie.

If you prefer a more meditative approach to positive thinking, check out Smiling Mind, a free iOS and Android app. You enter data on how youre feeling, using a number of slide controls that ask if youre feeling stormy or calm, for example. Then you listen to a meditation-like voice track that talks you through different programs.
