短文写作（共一题，满分25分）

    假设你叫李明，下面是你的一位外国笔友Kristie给你写的电子邮件，询问有关小悦悦事件的情况。

Dear Li Ming,

    I learned from a news flash that a two-year-old baby girl was ignored by more than a dozen passers-by after being run over twice in a south China town．I'm very shocked．I used to think the Chinese were hardworking and kindhearted, and they really were when I was on a visit in China two years ago．So I doubt whether it was true news．Can you tell me what you learned about this incident?

Sincerely yours,

Kristie

请你给她回一封邮件，要点如下：

    1．社会陷入自责和反思；

    2．某些路人的冷漠或另有原因，可最终还是有一名拾荒婆婆挺身而出；

    3．单个事件不能代表中国，助人为乐一直是中国传统美德。

注意：

    1．不能照抄原信件语句；

    2．可自由发挥添加细节；

    3．词数120左右；

    4．回信的开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。

    参考词汇：伦理道德- ethical and moral （adj．）; 美德- virtue （n．）

Dear Kristie,

    I was in very low spirits                                                               

    Believe me, Kristie, and believe in the Chinese people!

Sincerely yours,

Li Ming

Finding summer jobs for teenagers has not always been easy, but now you no longer have to worry about what your kid can do to earn their own money. Recently I found some different sites online that offer information about what kids can do. Below is some of that information, along with questions to think about to help you come up with your own ideas.
Ideas for summer work: 
● Parks and Recreation Programs.
● Babysitting (当临时保姆) during the day of school.
● Working part-time at a day care for the summer.
● Car washing.
● Working at local vegetable stands.
The easiest way for you to find ways for your child to make money is to think about others’ inconveniences (不方便). Think of things you need done, or would like to have done, and what you would consider paying for these things to get done. Once you have some ideas, you can sit down with your child and talk to them about what they would be interested in doing. Then once you have an idea of what they want to do you can help them come up with fair prices.
Preferably you would want to only have your child working with people you know and trust, or in the least bit you could have your child pick a partner. That way with each of them carrying cell phones, even those without service can call 911, they will be much safer.

根据文章内容,从下面A．B．C．D．E．F六个选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项, 选

项中有一项是多余选项．

    Effective reading should adopt a correct way, and then you can get more by paying less．Here are some hints for reading effectively．

___________

Don’t choose a rather difficult book or a too easy one for yourself to read．A book full of new words will make you feel discouraged quickly．To understand those new words, you have to turn to the dictionary quite often．It seems that you are not reading the book but the dictionary．It has no fun at all! On the contrary, a too easy one will only waste your time and cannot do any help．The two extremes may at last make you give up reading．So it’s better for you to find a proper book with no more than five new words on each page．

_____________

If you come across a new word, do not look it up in a dictionary as quickly as possible．Leave it alone and guess the meaning of it based on the content of the text．        This ability is quite necessary in reading．If you know your guess is right later, you will be highly excited at your “success”, and your interest in reading is well stimulated．If a word really hinders you from understanding the whole passage, turn to the dictionary by then．I am sure you can remember this word very well, as it has left you such a deep impression for its “troublesome image．”

___________

To comprehend what you are reading, you should think while you are reading, then from your own ideas on some special issues．Try to scribble some lines-a very short journal, to express your ideas．Your writing does not need to be quite formal but expressive．This practice can make you communicate with the original English authors．Day by day, your way of thinking in English will turn into a native way, which is quite important for English writing．

_____________

Language has its own beauty, no matter Chinese or English．Don’t merely take English as a “test”．Take it as an “entertainment” instead and you will enjoy it through learning．

Maybe you should find some beautiful literary works such as a prose or a poem to read, if you like．Try top read them as loudly and impassionedly as you can．During this process, not only you can enjoy yourself by the great emotions of the writers, but also your pronunciation and your manner of speaking English will be improved．

______________

The last but not the least, keep on reading．If you cannot keep it as a habit, you will suffer from paying without gaining．
