Of course not. So far as I know, everybody intends to be(become) a model student. However, to be a model student is by no means an easy thing. First, he must do his best to obtain knowledge. A man without sufficient knowledge will not succeed. Secondly, he must remember to improve his health. Only a strong man can do great tasks. Thirdly, he should receive moral education. If his conduct is not good, no one will consider making friends with him. 你价意被称为坏学生吗?当然不.就我所知,每个人都打算做模范学生.然而,做模范学生却不容易.第一,他必须尽力获得知识（求知）.一个没有足够知识的人是不会成功的.第二,他必须记住促进健康.只有强壮的人才能做大事.第三,他应该接受道德教育.如果他品行不好,没有人会考虑和他交朋友的. 第四篇： HOW TO GET HAPPINESS 如何获得快乐 There is no doubt that happiness is the most precious thing in the world.

They increase our knowledge, broaden our minds and strengthen our character. in other words, they are our good teachers and wise friends. This is the reason why our parents always encourage us to read more books. Reading is a good thing, but we must pay great attention to the choice of books. It is true that we can derive benefits from good books. However, bad books will do us more harm than good. 如众所周知,书籍教我们学习人生,真理,科学以及其它许多有用的东西.它们增加我们的知识,扩大我们的心胸并加强我们的品格.换句话说,它们是我们的良师益友.这是为什么我们的父母终是鼓励我们要多读书的理由. 读书是一好事,但我们必须多加注意书的选择.不错,我们能从好书中获得益处.然而,坏书却对我们有害无益. 第六篇： A TRIP TO THE COUNTRY 乡村游记 One Sunday my mother (Mother) had (made) me take my little young brother to the a trip to the country.

When we felt tired, we returned home. We saw Mother (our mother) wait (waiting) for us at the door. 有一个星期日,我母亲叫我带小弟弟去乡村游历.她吩咐我要好好照料他. 当我们沿着道路行走的时候,太阳灿烂地照耀着,微风轻轻地吹着.我们看见美丽的花儿对我们微笑着,并听见鸟儿在树上唱着悦耳的歌曲,风景实十分美丽.当我们感觉到疲倦的时候,我们就回家了.我们看见母样正在门口等候我们. 第七篇： BE PATRIOTIC 要爱国 It is the duty of every citizen to make the country rich and powerful (To make the country rich and strong is...). In order to accomplish this object one must be patriotic (love his country). I consider this an unchangeable truth. How can a student love his country (be patriotic)? I find my answer very simple and clear. He must study hard and store up knowledge so as to serve his(the) country in the future. If ever student can do according to what I said, the country will certainly be rich and powerful. 要使国家富强是每个公民的责任.为了达到此目的,必须爱国.我认为这是一条不易的定理 一个学生如何才能爱国呢?我发觉答复很简单明了.他必须用功读书并积储知识以便将来服务国家.如果每个学生能按照我所说的去做,国家一定会富强. 第八篇： THE VALUE OF TIME 爱惜时光 An English proverb says that time is money. I consider it (this) wrong. Why? Because we all know that we can earn money be work but can not in any way get back time (in anyway). For this reason, we may (can) say that time is more valuable than money. Many people do not know the value of time. It (this) is indeed a great pity.

It will be better than 3 computer games all day.” I promised(许诺) to do 2,000 words each day. But 4 I found it was hard to keep the promise. One day in May, the weather was beautiful. But I couldn’t go out. Those 2,000 words were still 5 me. After translating only three pages, I already lost interest in the book. I looked at it for a long time. But I couldn’t make myself turn the pages. How wished I could just go outside and 6 football with my friends! I counted the words again and again. I just wanted to give up. I felt as if two people were fighting 7 my mind. One said, “Don’t give up! Keep working hard, and you’ll do well!” But then the other one said, “Go and play! It will be more 8 than translating. Do your work tomorrow.” I stood up and would 9 the computer. But then I remember 10 my parents had told me: “Whatever you do, don’t stop halfway.” So I sat down and went on with it. ( )1. A.

He drew the horses very well,but he always began the tail. Now it is the Western rule to begin at the head of the horse, that is why I was surprised. It struck me that it could not really make any difference whether the artist begins at the head or the tail or the belly（肚子） or the foot of the horse, if he really knows his business. And most great artists who really know their business do not follow other people’s rule.They make their own rules. Every one of them does his work in a way peculiar(奇特的) to himself; and the peculiarity means only that he finds it more easy to work in that way. Now the very same thing is true to literature(文学). And the question, "How shall I begin?" only means that you want to begin at the head instead of beginning at the tail or somewhere else. That is, you are not yet experienced(有经验的) enough to trust to your own powers. When you become more experienced you will never ask the question, and I think that you will often begin at the tail --that is to say, you will write the end of the story before you have even thought of the beginning. 1. A friend of the writer’s drew the horses ____. A. very well B. in the way of western rule C. in the way of his own rule D. all of the above 2. The writer was surprised because ____. A. the artist began to draw at the head of the horse B. the artist began to draw at the tail of the horse C. the artist made his own rule D. the artist did not follow other people’s rule 3. You are not yet experienced because ____. A. you don’t know where to begin B. you want to begin at the head instead of beginning at the tail C. you always asked question D. you do not trust to your own powers 4. When you become more experienced you will ____. A. never ask question B. often begin at the tail C. should write the end of the story D. should think of the beginning 5. The topic of the passage is ______. A. How to draw a horse B. How to write a story C. How to make your own rules D. Trust to your own powers答案:CDDCD (二)When you are learning English, you find it not clever to put an English sentence, word for word, into your own language. Take the sentence “How do you do?” as an example. If you look up each word in the dictionary, one at a time, what is your translation? It must be a wrong sentence I your own language. Language do not just have different sounds, they are different in many ways. It’s important to master(掌握) the rules(规则) for word order in the study of English, too. If the sentences put words in a wrong order, the listeners can’t understand the speakers’ sentences easily. Sometimes when the order is changed, the meaning of the sentence doesn’t change. Let’s see the difference between the two pairs of sentences. “She only likes apples.” “Only she likes apples.” “I’ve seen the film already.” “I have already seen the film.” When you are learning English, you must do your best to get the spirit(精神实际) of the language and use it as the English speakers do. ( )1. From the passage we know that when we are learning English. A. we shouln’t put every word into our own language B. we shouldn’t look up every word in the dictionary C. we need to put every word into our own language D. we must read word by word ( )2. The writer thinks it is in learning English. A. difficult to understand different sounds B. possible to remember the word order C. important to master the rules in different way D. easy to master the rules for word order ( )3. We can learn from the passage that . A. the meaning of an English sentence always changes with the order of the words B. the order of words can never change the meaning of an English sentence C. sometimes different order of words has a different meaning D. if the order of words is different, the meaning of the sentence must be different ( )4. “She only likes apples,” A. is the same as “Only she likes apple”. B. is different from “Only she likes apple”. C. means “She likes fruit except apples”. D. means “She doesn’t like apples”. ( )5. Which is the best title for this passage? A. Different Orders, Different Meanings B. How to speak English? C. How to Put English into Our Own Language? D. How to Learn English?
