sat写作时万能的五个例子
SAT写作时万能的五个例子大家每每提到SAT写作对于高级词汇,高级句型,intro,如何过度等都因为托福的学习已了然于胸,但是SAT迥然不同于托福的例子储备也是够让很多备战SAT的学生们苦一阵子的。
那多少例子够顶事,多少例子又能够帮你碾压SAT写作呢? 下面小编为大家整理了SAT写作时万能的五个例子的相关内容,供考生们参考,以下是详细内容。
我们先仔细的分析下SAT写作,虽然写作的题目不胜枚举,但是一般来说我们会把题目分为十大类分别是失败成功、挑战权威、道德责任、困境成功、改变创新、科学技术、谎言欺骗、个人选择、广告和娱乐、合作与竞争。
当然因为题目分析不同会有其他的略微差异的话题和相对来说难成规模的题目,在这我们就不细分了,碰到这种题只需要把我们储备好的例子披沙拣金一番就好。
我们把一个例子拿出来剖析一下,这样对于例子的积累相对来说就会没那么繁杂冗乱。
Fritz HaberFritz Haber, Nobel Chemist Prize laureate, who did not follow the opinion of the crowds nor the general opinion. Fritz Haber, took part in manufacturing chemical weapon such as toxic gases during the world war I.这样一个不完整的例子摆在了大家面前我们来看一下应该如何以少胜多。
我的诀窍是:分析例子,要有对例子的好奇,这份好奇会让你物尽其用。
比如我们上面出现的Fritz Haber的例子,拿到以后我们要分析下这个例子我们都能够在何种题目框架下应用。
具体分析:1. Nobel Chemist Prize laureate 诺贝尔化学奖得主好奇心驱使你想去了解为什么他得到了诺贝尔化学奖。
原因是发明了从空气中制造出氨(合成氨),他的发明不仅使人类从此摆脱了依靠天然氮肥的被动局面,也大大的提高了农作物的产量,加速了世界农业的发展。
SAT写作之名人的经典例子(二)
SAT写作之名人的经典例子(二)在SAT写作中,恰当地举一些名人例子能让观点更有说服力,为文章增色不少。
下面小编为大家分领域整理了一些可以用在SAT写作中的名人例子,供大家参考。
SAT写作常用例子的领域分为8大领域:文学/电影/艺术/科学/体育/商业/历史/个人从广义上说,文学和电影都可以归为艺术门下,但由于这两个子类包含的例子比较丰富,所以单独列出来。
艺术领域其实还可以细分,比如绘画、音乐、舞蹈、雕塑、建筑、设计等;科学又可分为天文、生物、数学、物理、化学、经济学、计算机等子领域。
文学和电影又包含两个层面,文学家、电影明星、导演等可以做例子;文学作品、电影中的情节也可以拿来做例子。
下面我们就从这几个领域入手去看看分别有什么例子可以借用。
1 文学文学领域,有一本经典名著推荐大家读一下——《动物庄园》(Animal Farm),书不厚,语言也不难,建议大家直接买原版来读。
作者乔治奥威尔,他的另外一本书“1984”同样也是经典。
《动物庄园》这本书被誉为二十世纪最伟大的政治寓言。
讲的是一个动物农场中动物们不满人类主人的虐待,联合起来把主人赶跑了,成了一个动物“自治”的庄园。
结果慢慢的,猪成了新的统治阶级,用谎言和欺骗压榨剥削其他的动物。
在小说中,动物们对新的权威——猪深信不疑,乃至让猪日渐嚣张跋扈作威作福,而他们自己最终沦落到悲惨的境地。
比如猪在革命时曾说:所有动物生而平等(ALL ANIMALS ARE EQUAL)。
等猪成了统治者之后,偷偷在这句话后面加上了:有些动物比其他动物更平等(BUT SOME ANIMALS ARE MORE EQUAL THAN OTHERS)。
此外,猪为了维护统治还刻意涂改历史、通过保持神秘感、垄断教育、树立劳模等方式来愚弄动物们,和某些国家的做法如出一辙,真的很有意思。
2 电影涉及挑战权威主题的电影也有很多,在这里推荐一部电影——《三个傻瓜》(Three Idiots),相信有不少同学已经看过。

Unfortunately, in 2004 reporter Pierre Ballester published a book alleging Armstrong had used performance-enhancing drugs, which leads a heavy blow to his reputation .Facing with such a terrible situation, Armstrong immediately sued for libel according to legislation to prove his innocence. It is by this rapid response that enormously reduces the loss from not only his reputation but also his finance.(可用之处:1.quick response 2.面对批判该如何面对)2. Yao Ming{1} Yao Ming, the best-known basketball player in China, is the most outstanding Asia athlete along NBA history. While at the beginning of his NBA career, several commentators, including Bill Simmons and Dick Vitale, predicted that Yao would fail in the NBA. Also, famous basketball player Charles Barkley make fun on Yao, saying that he would kiss Kenny Smith's ass if Yao scored more than 19 points in one of his rookie-reason games .Under the mocking from medium, Yao is in a great calmness because he clears that if he pays more attention on arguing with them, he would have less time on training.

For instance, the Iraq War, the war that began in 2003 with the invasion of Iraq by the United States under the administration of President George W Bush. However, about the administration had been argued for a long time. In fact, at the time when the invasion of Iraq first been put forward, most senators were indisagreement .Unfortunately, the President Bush willfully persisted doing that.

Challenger{1} In some cases, a tiny mistake may cause a huge catastrophe. For example, the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster occurred in 1986, when Space Shuttle Challenger broke apart 73 seconds into its flight, leading to the deaths of its seven crew members. The spacecraft disintegrated over the Atlantic Ocean. Disintegration of entire vehicle began after an O-ring seal in its right solid rocket booster (SRB) failed at liftoff .The O-ring failure caused a breach in the SRB joint it sealed, allowing pressurized hot gas from within the solid rocket motor to reach outside and impinge upon the adjacent SRB attachment hardware. It is this tiny mistake that broke up the orbiter. Therefore it is as vital to concern the situation as a whole as it is to emphasis details.(可用之处:1.细节决定成败;2.小的错误会酿成大错){2}Nothing will suspend the human exploration of the universe. For instance, the Space Shuttle Challenger broke apart 73 seconds into its flight, leading to the deaths of its seven crew members. However, after the accident, NASA continue their project on investigation, hearing , engineering redesign of the SRBs, and other behind-the-senses technical and management reviews ,changes and preparations. In 1988, Space Shuttle Discovery lifted of with a crew of five from Kennedy Space Center, which represented a test of the redesigned boosters, a shift to a more conservative stance on safety. As a matter of fact, not all progress can easily be made under whatever situations while nothing will stop our attempts to explore new knowledge.5. Frank YangFrank Yang, a renowned physicist who won the Nobel Prize in theoretical physical. Although he won the top achievement –Nobel Prize for his non-conservation of parity theory, he struggled with what kind of physics he would choose at the start. When he was a graduate student, his major was experimental physics. At MIT, there was a joke widespread disseminated. It said “you can find Frank wherever has an explosion.” He tried hardly to improve his procedures, and repeated his experiment over and over; he still couldn’t figure out how to solve the problems. After his professor had an access to what he had done, the professor was attracted by his summary talent and steady theoretical physics knowledge. The professor suggested Frank that he should re-choose his major, and switchexperimental physics to theoretical physics. Frank adopted his professor idea. Consequently, he devoted his life to the theoretical which is more suitable for him and acquired the remarkable achievements for science and human. If he had not taken the advice from his professor, he might never stand out or accomplish any valuable things for human.6. BusinessPersistence plays an essential role in determining one's success in business. For example, Chirrs Gardner, the main character in the movie named The Pursuit of Happiness, is trying to be a stockbroker at a company because of the financially breaking. Excellent calculating skills are necessary for a good stockbroker. However, he knows nothing about it. Untalented as he is, he never gives up, squeezing time to finish his work when other competitors take a rest .Also, he always busy working between officers and customers tireless .After 6 months training, it is his persistence in working that guarantees his great success. Therefore, what I want to emphasize is that the individuals without outstanding ability can be successful by being persistent.7. John NashBefore 1950, Adam Smith was respected as “the father of Game Theory”, he wrote a famous book named The Wealth of Nations and demonstrated “perfect competition” which was commonly accepted by people. There is a sentence from the book “Individual ambition serious the common good” which means when each individual pursue his own interests, the benefits of the group will be improved most effectively. However, John Nash, a normal mathematician in Princeton University, created a theory “Nash Equilibrium” whic h laid the foundation of Game Theory in 1950. He doubted the statement from Adam Smith, and he succeeded. John Nash wrote a 28 pages dissertation to argue a new theory. Due to the fact that personal benefits conflict each other, the interest of a group will be harmed. To ensure the interests of whole group, individuals should find equilibrium between the personal and group interests. Consequently, John Nash received the Nobel Prize in economics and fundamentally reformed the arena of economics.8. Henry FordHenry ford, one of the most influential inventors in the history, was always inattentive in school. Once, he and a friend took a watch apart to probe the principle behind it. Angry and upset, the teacher punished him both to stay after school. Their punishment was to stay until they had fixed the watch. But the teacher did not know young ford’s genius, in ten minutes; this mechanical wizard had repaired the watch and was on this way home. It is imagination that invigorated Ford to make a through inquiry about things he did not know. He once plugged up the spout of a teapot and placed it on the fire. Then he waited to see what would happen. The water boiled and, of course, turned to steam. Since the steam had no way to escape, the teapot exploded. The explosion cracked a mirror and broke a window. Ford’s year of curiosity and tinkering paid off, when he built his imagination of horseless carriage into reality, thehistory of transportation was changed forever.9. Susan BoyleSusan Margaret Boyle is a Scottish singer who came to international public attention in 2009 after she appeared as a contestant on Britain's Got Talent.

After begging God to grow arms and legs, Nick eventually began to realize that his accomplishments were inspirational to many, and began to thank God for being alive.

He composed over 600 works, many acknowledged as pinnacles of symphonic, concert, chamber, piano, operatic, and choral music. He is among the most enduringly popular of classical composers.Mozart showed prodigious ability from his earliest childhood in Salzburg. Already competent on keyboard and violin, he composed from the age of five and performed before European royalty; at 17 he was engaged as a court musician in Salzburg, but grew restless and traveled in search of a better position, always composing abundantly. While visiting Vienna in 1781, he was dismissed from his Salzburg position. He chose to stay in the capital, where he achieved fame but little financial security. During his final years in Vienna, he composed many of his best-known symphonies, concertos, and operas, and portions of the Requiem, which was largely unfinished at the time of Mozart's death. The circumstances of his early death have been much mythologized. He was survived by his wife Constanze and twosons.( 可用之处:天才儿童,重视天赋,培养,个人兴趣)Mozart learned voraciously from others, and developed a brilliance and maturity of style that encompassed the light and graceful along with the dark and passionate.

Teamwork cooperation: wall-e, appleDual: confession, iPod, DDTPersonal satisfaction: Shawshank Redemption (Stephen king), 3idiots Persistence: Jobs, Pursuit of HappynessInnovation: Jobs, Dead Poets SocietyTruth or lie: Story, life is beautifulPersistenceMovies can inspire us greatly, including the significance of persistence. “The Pursuit of Happiness” could be taken to illustrate my point. The father Chris, played by Will Smith, once was a seller of medical equipment, but forced by the requirement of supporting his family, decided to become a stock attorney without any experience on this field. During the twenty-to-one selecting period full of competition but without any salary, he experienced the most arduous life with his son: betraying of his wife, having no place to live but to tramp, supporting son by selling his blood, and sleeping in the restroom of underground through out the night, all the hammer of unfair life did not strike him off. Whatever, sometimes life is not like a box of chocolate, which would be never ever always sweet or bitter forever; finally his persistence helped him to go through that bleak period and to become t he stock attorney. And what moves me the most was that every time he needed to go to company, he ran. Just this little plot flashed every moment reveals his struggle for life and persistence. Originating from the true story, the movie teaches me a lot, because it arouses my attention of persistence, which is the basic of a person with no denying.PersistenceSteve Jobs can be taken as an example to illustrate the significance of persistence. Having not finished the degree of master, after the establishment of the Apple Inc., when he was at pinnacle of his career, he was expelled out of his own company for his arrogant personality. But never giving up, he rebuilt his kingdom of technology by NEXT and Pixar in belief that he was born to succeed. Consequently, returning Apple by being absorbed, he brought new blood to the company on the edge of crisis and led the Apple to become one of the largest software and hardware producer. The persistence not only benefited Jobs in his career, but also gave him the hope of living. As it is known, he suffered from several seriously deadly diseases, including cancer and its complication, but he kept an optimistic attitude towards his family and his life. Finally he escaped from the cancer.InnovationExamples in the movies really impress me greatly. When innovation in mentioned, famous movie “Dead Poets Society” really caught my attention. It is a story that an unconventional literature teacher used creative teaching method in a well-known stereotyped aim-at-exams high school. He used unhistorical pedagogy to inspire his student, including literature classes on the playground, si nging poems on the teacher’s desks, and courses against textbooks. Although his principles varied from convention and the board, he had great impact on his students, helping them to learn independent thinking and chasing their own dreams. What impressed me the most was the plot thatwhen the teacher was expelled out of school because of his pedagogy, most of his students stood on their desks and exclaimed “Oh, Captain, my captain” His innovation not only taught his students how to write a poem, but also let them know what life is. From this example, innovation is of great significance in many aspects of our lives, including making our life more meaningful.InnovationWhen we talk about innovation, products of Apple Company can illustrate my point clearly. Unlike other hardware producers, such as Sony and Walkman, Apple, led by Steve Jobs, originally came up with the conception of iPod player, which seemed to be unrealistic in the ear when most youth used Walkman tape player, which is of great mass. The iPod’s large storing space and tiny volume were actually technically hard to accomplish (it was technically hard to accomplish t he iPod’s large storing spa ce with tiny volume) at that time, but that is the creativity promote (promotes) the development of technology, which benefits us in all aspects of our daily life, from where we live to what we use, from how we perceive the splendid surrounding world to the way we make it a better world. It is the imagination, like the iPod and iPhone, of the impossible, makes our lives easier. Without denying, creativity made the success of Apple Inc. and Jobs. Thus, creativity………Truth or lieSome truths are meant to be revealed, but some could be, or should be, concealed. Once there was a poor village located in the hinterland, in which lived a self-contemptuous girl who has a birthmark on the neck. An amicable old teacher told her that her birthmark was a symbol of excellence and she would become a great scientist. Consequently, confidence discovered the girl, and she trie d to be perfect in every thing she did. Though she was not born to be a scientist and she just did not become one, she found that her life had been changed forever. As a matter of fact, birthmark on that face was actually an omen of her skin cancer, wh ich led to the girl’s death in an early age. The old teacher just hid the truth from the girl, making her a meaningful life. From this classic example, a lie could be useful in many ways: even it is tiny, it could be great like butterfly effect, and it could even makes one’s life meaningful. Truth or lieIn the movie “life is beautiful”, the protagonist Guido has a child Joshua, but unfortunately, as Jewish, they are caught into the Nazi’s camp. Considering his naïve son, Guido decides to compose a white l ie: he tells his son that the Nazi’s camp is a game, and only the child who hides till the very end can win a tank. During the game, Guido remains optimistic and tries every possible method of keeping his honey from knowing the bleak reality. Though consis ting of numerous lies, the Schopenhauer’s childhood is full of joy and happiness, having no difference with those of kids out of the camp. Unfortunately, the great father is killed mercilessly but inevitably in order to have his son survived at the end of movie. What moves me the most was the plot that, at the very end, the white lie that the child who hides to the very end will win a tank comes true, and the Guido’s son really rides on a tank, proudly telling his father that he has aced the game. Every audience would laugh in tears for the love of father and the happiness of Schopenhauer. From this movie, many people changed theiropinions towards the nature of lies; though sometimes it could be deceitful, surely it could be full of humanity.DualSome times, movies could inspire us greatly. For instance, when dual characters of one subject are considered, the Japanese movie “confessions” could be taken to illustrate my point: it discuss (discusses) the unconventional opinion of underage crime. In the movie, a teacher’s kid was killed by two of her students consciously or unconsciously, but according to the underage protecting law, those students could escape from the punishment legally. The point is, those two students did not even felt guilty. So the teacher take (took) her own methods to have them realized what had they done. The movie utters that the youth should not be fully protected under the law, because most of their misdeeds turn to no contrition under the current legal system, in which they are over-protected. In our society, many people support the underage protecting law, asserting that it benefit (benefits) the growth of immature. But things would not be like it used to be, and everything has two sides: such a law could bring positive effects to the some youth, but meanwhile, it could destroy the morality of our society and those people overly protected. Thus on no account can we say that…absolutely…DualSometimes, a widely appreciated fact could be misleading. E.g. though iPod players have already changed our life style of appreciating music, featured with convenience and fashion, few people realized the demerits of this technologically creative invention. From the era we listen to music through phonograph and radio, to the time we carry ou r iPod every place we visit, the time our ears burden the earphones’ cacophony has prolonged rapidly. Though the youth do not realize the potential riskin the way we listen to music, loudly and incontinently, scientific researches have already revealed the negative effects of long-time earphone using. Similar fact of dual characters could be easily found in the other field of our history, like DDT and unclear bombs. Things are not immutable in the pace of human history, and on no account can we analyze a phenomenon on single side, because things are not what it seems to be.TeamworkWhen the significance of cooperation is considered, movie “Wall-E ” catches my attention. The movie narrates waste-disposing robot, named wall-e, his experience of pursing for friendship and saving the world. At the beginning of the story, wall-e accidentally encountered with another female environmental-detecting robot, named Eva, and went on a huge spaceship with her. During the travel, he and other malfunctioned androids friends helped human to return to the Earth; in arduous efforts of returning the Earth, wall-e led the team and competed with the ship’s evil system,which intended to stop human from backing Earth. What moves me the most was the plot that many mal-functioned robots cooperated to beat the system, though they were disable in some ways, finally they succeeded. Without their cooperation, there would be no chance for human and androids to return to their home. In this case…. TeamworkThough the successes of individuals have impressed us greatly, on no account can we deny that the cooperation is the very key. It seems that the revival of Apple Inc. was due to the creativity of Steve Jobs; we cannot ignore the contribution of teamwork in the his company. For intense, I would talk about the information security system in the daily running of Apple: according to the regulation of the company, every employee has the duty of not leaking any clues about the new products. By this system, all the fans of iPhone could remain curious and fanatic till the day of the gadget’s official releasing, promoting the sale of the company. Under the leading of Jobs, there are so many examples of the significance of cooperation in the company, from the designing to the manufactory, in every impressing detail of the apples. Thus, when we analyze the success the success of an individual, on no account can we neglected the cooperation behind the phenomenon.Personal satisfactionIn the Dollywood movie “3 idiots”, a very interesting exa mple could illustrate my point clearly, that personal satisfaction is a key factor to many people. Rancho was an unconventional student in a famous India university, and he did not abide many evidently inconsequential regulations at class. Varied from many of his classmates and his professor (typically, would be becoming engineer and making money), he did not study for his future career; on the contrary, he just wanted to turn his interests into usage, and he encouraged his friends to chase their own dreams. The plot, which impressed me the most, would be that he built up a school, which is dissimilar from any common school in India, and taught students many practical skills. All the efforts he made are not for money, not for fame, just because he wanted to improve the education and he had interest in engineering; and personal satisfaction is just a so powerful stimulation.Personal satisfactionThere is no denying that some people are motivated by material, but more people are propelled by something more mea ningful. E.g. in the famous movie “The Shawshank Redemption”, banker Andy was sentenced to jail for killing his wife, but actually he was clean. In the twenty years of prison, he gained credit of guard by providing financial advice and helping the head jailor to make fake account. Though he lived in his own chamber, had his own library, and even had many privileges like a freeman, he did not stop managing to escape from the prison. In the very end, he escaped from the hail (hell) by twenty years’ chopping a way the wall of his chamber. Though some people may comment that he was foolish, he just wanted to pursue the freedom but nothing else by taking such a high risk. Like a famous proverb in the movie: some birds aren’t meant to be caged, their feathers are just too bright. Some people, surely, are motivated by personal satisfaction, like Andy in pursuing of freedom.。

所有例子收集:约翰纳什的例子:通过质疑原来亚当·斯密的经济理论,约翰·纳什因为他的博弈论而获得了诺贝尔经济学奖。
在20世纪50年代以前,亚当·斯密(当时被尊称为现代经济学之父)的经济学理论已经在经济和金融领域广为认可。
在《国富论》一书中,他提出了人们的个人野心服务于整个社会的理论,也就是说如果一个人仅仅追求他们个人的利益就能让整个社会受益。
在当时质疑他的理论被看做是一种冒失的自以为是的行为。
但是,约翰·纳什发现了这个理论的缺陷,因此他毫不犹豫地质疑了斯密的理论。
他坚持认为,有些时候人们的野心与个人利益是互相冲突的,这可能给整个社会带来负面的影响。
通过坚持这个理念和个人的不懈努力,纳什最终提出了一个系统的理论——“纳什均衡论”,这一理论从根本上改变了经济学领域。
由于纳什的这一重大突破性发现,他在1994年因为个人的杰出贡献获得了诺贝尔经济学奖。

(主题句)Before 1950s, the economic theory of Adam Smith (who was respected as the father of modern economics) was prevalently accepted in the realm of economics and finance. In the book of The Wealth of Nations, Adam Smith claimed that individual ambition serves the common good, which means that if the individual members of a group just strive to earn their own interests, the whole group will benefit. It would be presumptuous to challenge his theory at that time. Yet, John Nash found the flaws of this theory, hence he questioned Smith’s theory without any hesitation by insisting that sometimes the ambitions of individuals are conflicting, which would lead to negative results to the whole group. Through insisting this belief and personal persistent endeavor, Nash developed a systematical theory called “Nash equilibrium”, which fundamentally changed the realm of economics. Due to the breakthrough of this magnitude, Nash won the Nobel Prize of Economics in 1994 for his eminent contribution.杰克韦尔奇的例子:通过挑战权威,杰克·韦尔奇为通用电气公司注入了新鲜的健康的血液,并使它成为了顶尖级公司。

sat写作人物经典例子:托马斯杰弗逊In the thick of party conflict in 1800, Thomas Jefferson wrote in a private letter, "I have sworn upon the altar of God eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man."This powerful advocate of liberty was born in 1743 in Albemarle County, Virginia, inheriting from his father, a planter and surveyor, some 5,000 acres of land, and from his mother, a Randolph, high social standing. He studied at the College of William and Mary, then read law.In 1772 he married Martha Wayles Skelton, a widow, and took her to live in his partly constructed mountaintop home, Monticello.Freckled and sandy-haired, rather tall and awkward, Jefferson was eloquent as a correspondent, but he was no public speaker. In the Virginia House of Burgesses and the Continental Congress, he contributed his pen rather than his voice to the patriot cause. As the "silent member" of the Congress, Jefferson, at 33, drafted the Declaration of Independence. In years following he labored to make its words a reality in Virginia. Most notably, he wrote a bill establishing religious freedom, enacted in 1786.Jefferson succeeded Benjamin Franklin as minister to France in 1785. His sympathy for the French Revolution led him into conflict with Alexander Hamilton when Jefferson was Secretaryof State in President Washington's Cabinet. He resigned in 1793.Sharp political conflict developed, and two separate parties, the Federalists and the Democratic-Republicans, began to form. Jefferson gradually assumed leadership of the Republicans, who sympathized with the revolutionary cause in France. Attacking Federalist policies, he opposed a strong centralized Government and championed the rights of states.As a reluctant candidate for President in 1796, Jefferson came within three votes of election. Through a flaw in the Constitution, he became Vice President, although an opponent of President Adams. In 1800 the defect caused a more serious problem. Republican electors, attempting to name both a President and a Vice President from their own party, cast a tie vote between Jefferson and Aaron Burr. The House of Representatives settled the tie. Hamilton, disliking both Jefferson and Burr, nevertheless urged Jefferson's election.When Jefferson assumed the Presidency, the crisis in France had passed. He slashed Army and Navy expenditures, cut the budget, eliminated the tax on whiskey so unpopular in the West, yet reduced the national debt by a third. He also sent a naval squadron to fight the Barbary pirates, who were harassing American commerce in the Mediterranean. Further, although the Constitution made no provision for the acquisition of new land, Jefferson suppressed his qualms over constitutionality when he had the opportunity to acquire the Louisiana Territory from Napoleon in 1803.During Jefferson's second term, he was increasingly preoccupied with keeping the Nation from involvement in the Napoleonic wars, though both England and France interfered with the neutral rights of American merchantmen. Jefferson'sattempted solution, an embargo upon American shipping, worked badly and was unpopular.Jefferson retired to Monticello to ponder such projects as his grand designs for the University of Virginia. A French nobleman observed that he had placed his house and his mind "on an elevated situation, from which he might contemplate the universe."He died on July 4, 1826.sat写作人物经典材料:Wolfgang Amadeus MozartWolfgang Amadeus Mozart(27 January 1756 – 5 December 1791), was a prolific and influential composer of the Classical era. He composed over 600 works, many acknowledged as pinnacles of symphonic, concertante, chamber, piano, operatic, and choral music. He is among the most enduringly popular of classical composers.Mozart showed prodigious ability from his earliest childhood in Salzburg. Already competent on keyboard and violin, he composed from the age of five and performed before European royalty; at 17 he was engaged as a court musician in Salzburg, but grew restless and traveled in search of a better position, always composing abundantly. While visiting Vienna in 1781, he was dismissed from his Salzburg position. He chose to stay in the capital, where he achieved fame but little financial security. During his final years in Vienna, he composed many of his best-known symphonies, concertos, and operas, and portions of the Requiem, which was largely unfinished at the time of Mozart's death. The circumstances of his early death have been much mythologized. He was survived by his wife Constanze and two sons.Mozart learned voraciously from others, and developed abrilliance and maturity of style that encompassed the light and graceful along with the dark and passionate. His influence on subsequent Western art music is profound. Beethoven wrote his own early compositions in the shadow of Mozart, of whom Joseph Haydn wrote that "posterity will not see such a talent again in 100 years."sat写作人物经典素材:笛卡尔Rene Descartes (1596-1650) is one of the most important Western philosophers of the past few centuries. During his lifetime, Descartes was just as famous as an original physicist, physiologist and mathematician. But it is as a highly original philosopher that he is most frequently read today. He attempted to restart philosophy in a fresh direction. For example, his philosophy refused to accept the Aristotelian and Scholastic traditions that had dominated philosophical thought throughout the Medieval period; it attempted to fully integrate philosophy with the "new" sciences; and Descartes changed the relationship between philosophy and theology. Such new directions for philosophy made Descartes into a revolutionary figure.The two most widely known of Descartes' philosophical ideas are those of a method of hyperbolic doubt, and the argument that, though he may doubt, he cannot doubt that he exists. The first of these comprises a key aspect of Descartes' philosophical method. As noted above, he refused to accept the authority of previous philosophers - but he also refused to accept the obviousness of his own senses. In the search for a foundation for philosophy, whatever could be doubted must be rejected. He resolves to trust only that which is clearly and distinctly seen to be beyond any doubt. In this manner, Descartes peels away the layers of beliefs and opinions that clouded his view of the truth.But, very little remains, only the simple fact of doubting itself, and the inescapable inference that something exists doubting, namely Descartes himself.His next task is to reconstruct our knowledge piece by piece, such that at no stage is the possibility of doubt allowed to creep back in. In this manner, Descartes proves that he himself must have the basic characterisitc of thinking, and that this thinking thing (mind) is quite distinct from his body; the existence of a God; the existence and nature of the external world; and so on. What is important in this for Descartes is, first, that he is showing that knowledge is genuinely possible (and thus that sceptics must be mistaken), and, second, that, more particularly, a mathematically-based scientific knowledge of the material world is possible.Descartes' work was influential, although his studies in physics and the other natural sciences much less so than his mathematical and philosophical work. Throughout the 17th and 18th Centuries, Descartes' philosophical ghost was always present; Locke, Hume, Leibniz and even Kant felt compelled to philosophical entanglement with this intellectual giant. For these reasons, Descartes is often called the "father" of modern philosophy.This article provides an overview of Descartes' philosophical thought following the order of his most famous and widely-studied book, the Meditations on First Philosophy.。

Chris Gardner tells 20/20 how he worked to move himself from a life of homelessness to a successful life as a businessman.Gardner is the head of his own brokerage firm and lives in a Chicago T ownhouse--one of his three homes with a collection of tailored suits, designer shoes, and Miles Davis albums.His path to this extraordinary success took a series of extraordinary turns. Just 20 years ago, Gardner was homeless and living, on occasion, in a bathroom at a Bay Area Rapid Transit station in Oakland, Calif.Gardner was raised by his mother, a schoolteacher. He says he never knew his father while he was growing up. But his mother had a way of keeping him grounded when he dreamed of things like being a jazz trumpeter.Mothers have a way of saying things, Gardner said, She explained to me, Son, theres only one Miles Davis and he got that job. So you have to do something else. But what that something else was, I did not know.Gardner credits his uncles with providing the male influence he needed. Many of them were military veterans. So, straight out of high school, he enlisted in the Navy for four years. He says it gave him a sense of what was possible.A Red Ferrari and a Turning PointAfter the military, Gardner took a job as a medical supply salesman. Then, he says, he reached another turning point in his life. In a parking lot, he met a man driving a red Ferrari. He was looking for a parking space. And I said, You can have mine. But I gotta ask you two questions. The two questions were: What do you do? And how do you do that? Turns out this guy was a stockbroker and he was making $80,000 a month.。

John Nash(1928-)When the young Nash had applied to graduate school at Princeton in 1948, his old Carnegie Tech professor, R.J. Duffin, wrote only one line on his letter of recommendation: "This man is a genius". It was at Princeton that Nash encountered the theory of games, then recently launched by John von Neumann and Oskar Morgenstern. However, they had only managed to solve non-cooperative games in the case of "pure rivalries" (i.e. zero-sum). The young Nash turned to rivalries with mutual gain. His trick was the use of best-response functions and a recent theorem that had just emerged - Kakutani's fixed point-theorem. His main result, the "Nash Equilibrium", was published in 1950 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. He followed this up with a paper which introduced yet another solution concept - this time for two-person cooperative games - the "Nash Bargaining Solution" (NBS) in 1950. A 1951 paper attached his name to yet another side of economics - this time, the "Nash Programme", reflecting his methodological call for the reduction of all cooperative games into a non-cooperative framework.His contributions to mathematics were no less remarkable. As an undergraduate, he had inadvertently (and independently) proved Brouwer's fixed point theorem. Later on, he went on to break one of Riemann's most perplexing mathematical conundrums. From then on, Nash provided breakthrough after breakthrough in mathematics. In 1958, on the threshold of his career, Nash got struck by paranoid schizophrenia. He lost his job at M.I.T. in 1959 (he had been tenured there in 1958 - at the age of 29) and was virtually incapicated by the disease for the next two decades or so. He roamed about Europe and America, finally,returning to Princeton where he became a sad, ghostly character on the campus - "the Phantom of Fine Hall" as Rebecca Goldstein described him in her novel, Mind-Body Problem. The disease began to evaporate in the early 1970s and Nash began to gradually to return to his work in mathematics. However, Nash himself associated his madness with his living on an "ultralogical" plane, "breathing air too rare" for most mortals, and if being "cured" meant he could no longer do any original work at that level, then, Nash argued, a remission might not be worthwhile in the end. As John Dryden once put it:Great wits are sure to madness near allied, And thin partitions do their bounds divide.Key words: economist illness Nobel price winner3.法拉第,迈克尔法拉第(1791 -- 1867)是英国物理学家、化学家,也是著名的自学成才的科学家。

It is obvious that after reaching the personal peak in Germany, Hitler‟s increasing aggression eventually resulted in the disastrous holocaust of millions of innocent people as well as his own suicidal. Therefore, success can be devastating to the whole society if captured and misused by some over-greedy people to realize their evil goal.
Though Tyson‟s success brought disastrous effect to his life, luckily, the disaster hardly prevented other people from their own pursuit of happiness. However, if success accidently lay to those who tend to use it as a method of satisfying personal ambition at the risk of other people‟s well-being —— the public, unfortunately, has to foot the bill of their abuse of success.
To some extent, we had to admit that he really underwent some unsuccessful time, resulting mainly from penury. (承上启下) But rather than giving himself up to hard time, he gradually got matured from various difficulties, strengthened his will and sharpened his wits.

Reeve was real-life SupermanAlthough he will always be remembered for portraying Superman, the greatest role of actor Christopher Reeves life was as a champion of sufferers of spinal cord injuries and an advocate of stem cell research.Unlike the man of steel, he wasnt faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive and he couldnt leap tall buildings in a single bound.But the courage and determination Reeve displayed in trying to overcome his paralysis from a 1995 horse-riding accident far surpassed any of the feats of the comic book hero.He became a real-life Superman. His heroism, his courage was extraordinary, Colin Blakemore, the chief executive of Britains Medical Research Council said.Like many people who suffer some terrible injury, Christopher Reeve was reinvented by that experience and brought the kind of energy and enthusiasm that made him successful as a film star to an entirely different issue, with huge effect.Reeve, 52, died on October 10 of heart failure after having treatment for an infected pressure wound without realizing his dream of walking again.。

SAT写作范文歌德
SAT写作经典范文歌德THE boy, Goethe, was a precocious youngster. At the early age of eight he had already acquired some knowledge of Greek, Latin, French and Italian.He had likewise acquired from his mother the knack of story telling; and from a toy puppet show in his nursery his first interest in the stage.Goethes early education was somewhat irregular and informal, and already he was marked by that apparentfeeling of superiority that stayed by him throughout his life. When he was about 16 he was sent to Leipzig, ostensibly to study law. He apparently studied more life than law and put in his time expressing his reactions through some form of writing. On at least two oasions, this form was dramatic.Finally, in 1770 Goethe went to Strassburg, this time really intent on passing his preliminary examinations in law, and with the somewhat more frivolous ambition of learning to dance. Along with his study of law, he studied art, music, anatomy and chemistry. A strong friendship with the writer, Herder, was likewise no part of Goethes experience at this time, a contact which was of considerable importance in these formative years.In 1771 Goethe returned to Frankfurt, nominally to practice law, but he was soon deep in work on what was tobe his first dramatic suess, Gtz von Berlichingen. While this was actually the story of a robber baron of the 16th century it really represented Goethes youthful protest against the established order and his demand for intellectual freedom. Its suess made its hitherto unknown author the literary leader of Germany.。

Chris Gardner
Chris Gardner has become famous for his miraculous life journey from a vagrant to a reputed Wall Street stockbroker within dozens of years. Born in a poor fatherless family in 1950s, he tried multiple ways to strive for a living by himself. He ever wandered along streets with his toddler son, and got put into jail, but he never quit his dream of being a stockbroker.
One of his words goes like this: “In the darkest moments of your life, the one who can help you is only yourself.” With an awareness of the significance of tenacity and diligence, Gardner finally got a chance to be trained in a brokerage in spite that he did not
have any college diploma or experience. When he passed examinations and earned a license as a stockbroker, he was exhilarated. He just knew that a promising future was awaiting him.
After he embarked on the track of stockbroking, things went much more smoothly. In 1987 he launched his own brokerage firm in Chicago and soon developed into a millionaire. Recently besides managing his firm and playing the role of a good father, he is devoting to philanthropic undertakings in South Africa, hoping to help the poor to live better.
