But his unusual ways of teaching and his demand that students always ask questions made him some 【3】 (danger) enemies. The rulers did not want to be questioned. So they falsely accused Socrates 【4】 teaching young men bad things and led 【5】 (they) to ignore religion. In fact, Socrates was a very religious man. His enemies had him 【6】 (arrest), and he was sentenced to death by poisoning.

During the 30 days before he was put to death, his friends and pupils 【7】 (allow) to visit him in his prison. They were astonished to find that he was calm and had no fear of dying. When the deadly poison was 【8】 (eventual) brought to Socrates, his friends were in 【9】 (tear), but Socrates raised the cup and drank it as if it were 【10】 glass of wine.

By May, after three months, I had lost22pounds and reached my goal of 115 pounds. My friends would say “Alice, you look great!” or “How did you lose so much weight?” Those compliments made me feel good and confident.
Soon I dropped to110 pounds. A few of my friends told me that I needed to stop dieting, because I was starting to look sick. They brought me a present—— a bag of chocolates, which I later gave to my sister. My mother would come to my room, with tears in her eyes, and have long chats about how harmful this diet was and begged me to stop. My dad would leave worried messages on my cell phone at school, telling me that it would do serious harm to my body.
By mid-June, when school was coming to an end, I was down to an only alive state of 95 pounds. All of a sudden, I knew I had to do something. I guessed the number itself scared me. I recalled my doctor. He told me about a girl who was 95 pounds and was at the risk of dying. I knew I was putting my life at risk, but for what? To make those who love me worried? Was it worthwhile to be thin?
Now I realize that models in magazines, TV and movies are not realistic. The price to pay for the “perfect body” is living with a dangerous and sometimes deadly eating disorder. And there are more important things to think about than how thin you are.

You should always outline your essays. This does not just apply to the scholarship essays, either. An outline helps lend focus to your thoughts and helps you create a picture of the “whole” that the essay will become. Judges cannot stand when your writing is loose, lacks coherence (连贯性) or when you fail to connect your main points together. They want to see that you can support your argument well with clear and brief examples and that these examples do, in fact, relate to the topic at hand.

If you have a choice in the topic you get to write about, always try to select something you are personally interested in. Don’t write what you think the judges want to hear. This will only amount in an essay that reads like someone else’s, which is not a great way to make yourself stand out.

If you feel bored with the topic, then your essay will be boring as well. Make sure your idea follows a clear and a logical path. This means they are connected well and the transitions (过渡) easily flow from one idea to the next. Likewise, try to stay away from the obvious or the sad story. Yes, college will be a life-changing experience, but can you think of an interesting reason why this is so? And yes, it is terrible that you lost a family member at a young age, but what does it have to do with winning this scholarship? Judges can smell sad stories from a mile away, so only pull at the heartstrings if you have a proper reason for doing so.

【1】Why is an outline necessary for writing a scholarship essay?

A. To focus on the details of the essay. B. To think more about the scholarship.

C. To support the arguments very well. D. To make a picture of the whole essay.

【2】What does the author advise on writing a scholarship essay?

A. Selecting a topic the judges like.

B. Presenting the ideas in a logic way.

C. Adding some obvious and sad stories.

D. Telling experiences of losing someone.

【3】Who are the intended readers of the passage?

A. Essay readers. B. Judges in colleges.

C. College students. D. Company leaders.

Dear Lucy,
I was delighting to receive your letter. Thank you for the English dictionary you bought it for me. I received it this morning. There is no doubt that it is of great helpful to me. I'm deeply grateful for your advice what I should pay more attention to practice my spoken English. I've made up my mind to speak English both in and out of class. Next month I'll take trip to Australia, which is organizing by my school. I hope I can practise my spoken English there as many as possible. By the way, I am sending you a set of stamp with this letter, and I'll send you more if I got any. I do hope you will have a good holiday.
