阅读下面短文,然后根据文章后的题目要求进行回答。

  Sooner or later everyone has to write something-a thank-you note, a report at a meeting, a complaint or an apology.If you hate writing assignments in school, or if you still fear to put pen to paper, facing that empty page is almost as frightening as you’re facing a tiger.How to write it?There’s no mystery.Clear writing is just clear thinking.Here are some techniques for you.

  Thinking on paper

  Sit down with pencil and paper or at the computer screen and start outlining what you want to say, why it’s important, why it matters, and what its impact is on the reader.Just get the ideas down.The next step is to go back and put them in order.

  Writing first sentence

  Try to make your first sentence catch the reader’s eyes, because ________, the reader isn’t going to read on.Get a good, clear lead sentence that summarizes your points and that answers the reader’s question “What’s in it for me?” If you can’t do it in one sentence, then do it in two or three but keep them short.

  Remembering the reader

  Short, simple words are better than long words.Short sentences are better than long sentences.Remember that the goal is to communicate, not express yourselves.Most people are so devoted to what they want to say that they forget somebody else has to be able to read it.Too much information makes you lose readers before they get to the meat(某物之主要或重要的)of what you want to say.

  Reading and rewriting

  Read what you have written out loud, and listening for any awkward sentences.All good writers read, then rewrite.Back off a little bit from what you’re writing.It’s an old standard, but if you can, write something and come back a day late.

1.What is the best title for the passage?(Please answer within 10 words.)

____________________

2.Which sentence in the passage can be replaced by the following one?

Many writers just pay too much attention writing what they want but forget whether their readers can read it or not.

3.Please fill in the blank with proper words to complete the sentence.(Please answer within 10 words)

  New York:When the first jet struck World Trade Center at 8∶48 am on Tuesday, the people in 2 World Trade Center with a view of the instant damage across the divide had the clearest sense of what they, too, must do:get out fast.

  Katherine Hachinski, who had been knocked off her chair by the blast of heat exploding from the neighboring tower, was one of those.Despite her 70 years of age, Ms Hachinski, an architect working on the 91st floor of 2 World Trade Centre, the south tower, went for the stairs.Twelve floors above her, Judy Wein, an executive(经理), screamed and set off too.

  But others up and down the 110 floors, many without clear views of the damage across the way and thus unclear about what was happening, were not so sure.And the 18 minutes before the next plane would hit were ticking off.

  Amid the uncertainty about what was the best thing to do, formal announcements inside the sound tower instructed people to stay put, assuring them that the building was sound and the threat was limited to the other tower.

  Some left, others stayed.Some began to climb down and, when met with more announcements and other cautions(警告)to stop or return, went hack up.The decisions made in those instants proved to be of great importance, because many who chose to stay were doomed(注定死亡)when the second jet crashed into the south tower, killing many and stranding(使某物留在)many more in the floors above where the jet hit.

  One of those caught in indecision was the executive at Fuji Bank UAS.

  Richard Jacobs of Fuji Bank left the 79th floor with the other office workers, but on the 48th floor they heard the announcement that the situation was under control.Several got in the lifts and went back up, two minutes or so before the plane crashed-into their floor.

  “I just don’t know what happened to them,” Mr.Jacobs said.
