第二节:读写任务(共1小题,满分25分)

阅读下面的短文,然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文

Why is it that we tend to value relationships more once they've ended? Is it simply human nature to take for granted the smile of someone close,the friendship of a relative,the concern of a neighbor? In the moment,we think that these people will be around forever.

Most of us never stop to imagine all those who have a profound impact on our lives. It’s so easy to justify this casual attitude by saying we are too busy, too tired,too involved with work,too concerned about money,and the list of excuses goes on and on. So enjoying a friendship may be put off for one day, and then another. Before long, feelings have faded,and there is less incentive to get together. Almost relegated to a chore now,precious moments become something to endure.  

Usually, something dramatic must happen to change this apathy and pull one out of a rut. Perhaps it’s something shocking,like a death,a divorce,sudden illness,an accident — something stunning to force taking notice.Then comes the guilt,the re-assessment of feelings,the sadness of loss.

We long to have those precious moments once again,to share and express our feelings. Instead of waiting for an excuse,why not get out of the rut,take the initiative,and spend quality time with the people you value. Let them know how really important they are.
