下面是某一网站就黄金周是否应该取消作的调查。

请你把调查的结果写成短文，发表在学校的报刊上。

19, 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。

Reading exercises a great influence on a person. If pictures, still or moving, accompany the reading, the memory will keep half the material for a long time.
Don’t believe those who say that bad reading cannot hurt a person. How do they know what will hurt other? Wouldn’t you rather believe the experience of the ages that says, “A man is what he has read”
and “Our reading and studies carry over into our lives”?
Let’s get back to the beneficial effects of thinking while reading. It helps us to enlarge our minds. We understand more about the universe, its people and many of its wonders. We learn to think and observe in new ways. We certainly do get a feeling for the language we are reading. All good writers in any language have been readers who read critically and creatively and continuously. Finally, reading will and must broaden my sympathies, expand my love for others and set it in action. How can a person who has a bit of kindness in his heart read about all the miseries and tragedies that people and nations have and not want to do and actually do what he can to relieve those people in every way he can and as much as he can?
[写作内容]
1．概括短文的内容要点，该部分的字数大约30词左右；
2．就“读书的目的和意义”这个主题发表你的看法，至少包含以下的内容要点，该部分的字数大约120词左右：
a) 陈述你对“读书的目的和意义”的看法；
b) 结合自己的读书经历来说明读书对你的启示和重要性。

[写作要求]
a)可以使用实例或分项论述的方法支持你的论点，也可以参照阅读材料的内容，但不能直接引用原文中的句子；
b)标题自定。

2、去信内容可适当发挥，但必须与回信内容一致；
3、参考词汇：小气鬼：a penny pincher
试题答案
1, Practice Makes Perfect
The dramatic ballad student, who later became a great performer, could not stand the repeated boring practice which was to lead to his very success in his career.
As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. Consistent practice
can result in perfect performance. Practice is of great importance in doing anything.
Take my personal experience in learning English for example. Three years ago, I had great trouble with listening comprehension. I couldn’t understand the teacher in class. This was obviously due to my lack of practice. To improve my listening, I started to read English aloud every morning and listen to tapes and radio programs every evening. My efforts paid off and in the final examination I did an excellent job in listening.
I strongly believe that practice makes perfect. Whatever we do,we should persist in it and keep on working until we are successful.
2, One possible version
Minister of Education Zhou Ji says that from 2008 on, all the public high schools are forbidden to run remediation classes and enroll returning senior three students. He says this harms the fairness of education as they are taking advantage of national recourses to charge fees.
While critics say this gives new hope and another chance to students who failed in the entrance examinations to college because public high schools can guarantee high teaching quality. Meanwhile, public schools can raise fund to improve the school conditions and teachers’ welfares as well.
As far as I’m concerned, remediation classes are a long-standing
phenomenon. Anyway, many returning senior three students have realized their college dreams through remediation classes. They shouldn’t be canceled in a day and we shouldn’t act too hastily. Also, some private remediation classes should be allowed to be set up if the runner can provide qualified teachers and comfortable campus. All the things can be possible if they are beneficial to the students.
3, Ordinary but Great
We are all ordinary people, but following what we are interested in and doing what we are good at can help us make great achievements for society and go far. Here’s a convincing and inspiring example. Zhao Yu, the chief technician in the Benz Company, is regarded as a great success. However, his success is no accident. As a young boy with a sense of creativity, he was eager to learn and to make a lot of inventions. Being an ordinary worker in the Benz Company for 17 years, not only did he do well in his job, but also he made efforts to teach himself English and to learn how to use computers. Now it is easy for him to read English materials about cars. Besides, he became expert at solving various technical problems. Because of his great contribution, he has received awards many times.
Zhao Yhas set a good example that ordinary people can stand out by doing their jobs with interest and enthusiasm.
4, One possible version:
In the picture, a boy is absorbed in fishing, while others are leaving, empty - handed. Finally his efforts pay off, and he gets on big fish. Actually, there are still more fish in the water. If those who are heading back could stay longer, they would surely get a good catch. So from the children’s different behaviors, we can see that success needs a person’s patience because patience plays an important role in the process of achieving goals. Stick to what we are doing, and the gain we get will be beyond imagination just like the fish left in the pool.
5, One possible version:
Go to a university near or far?
Recently, the senior three students in our school had a discussion on whether to go to a university near or far.
Different students have different opinions.
Seventy percent of them prefer universities in their local city, because they and their parents can take care of each other. Besides, they can save lots of expenses. They can also take advantage of the home living conditions for their studies.
However, the other students choose universities far away from home so that they can be more independent. And they can make new friends and see more of the world. Above all, they have more opportunities
to be admitted to colleges.
Personally, I favour a university outside our province, which can provide us with more living and working experience in society.
6, One possible version:
Plastic bags go out of our life
It has been announced from State Council that no plastic bags can be offered to any customer without charge in supermarkets, shops, etc. The rule will take effect on June, 1st, 2008. As we all know, it's very convenient for us to be given plastic bags when shopping. Nevertheless, they have caused serious environmental pollution, which we call "white pollution".
Seen from the given picture, the terrible plastic bags are like piles of white hills, which can not be easily broken down. As a result, the "white pollutionn is reaching out his claws towards us. thus making rules about it is in great need.
In my opinion, people have come to realize the importance of environment and begin to take some effective measures to reduce the consumption of plastic bags. Meanwhile, we can use baskets or cloth bags to carry goods instead, which must be good to our health and environment.
7, Dear Mike,
You asked me who is my idol in your last letter. Well, the one
I admire most is Bill Gates.
I am sure you have heard of him. He is the CEO of the most successful computer software company, Microsoft, and as we all know, he is the richest man in the world.
But I favor him not because of his dream and his great energy to pursue his goals. He always knows what he wants and keeps working hard for it. I think that’s why he has become the most successful man in the world. Have you read the news about him recently? He is about to retire from Microsoft and focus his attention on charity work!
How about you? Who’s your idol?
I’m looking forward to your reply!
Yours,Li Hua

10, More and more senior school students are doing part-time jobs nowadays. There are many advantages in students’ doing part-time
jobs. Besides earning some money to buy whatever they need, they can learn a lot which can’t be learned from textbooks. It’s a good preparation for the world outside school and universities. Also they can learn the value of work and money. At the same time, it is good for them to learn to work with others in a team. However, there are some disadvantages. For example, too much work may affect their studies because less time will be spent on study. If the money earned is not properly used, the students will develop some bad habits, or even greed. So the help from parents and society is important to the students. We should develop a fresh look at students’doing part-time jobs and provide them with opportunities of applying what they learn in class to the real life.
11, Possible version:
Nowadays being a public servant is so popular in our country that it has become a job in great demand among thousands of young people. They take every chance to become civil servants. In order to find their favorite jobs, millions of graduates take the yearly civil service exam every year.
The reasons why so many people are interested in this job are as follows. A public servant, who has little chance to lose a job, is usually well respected, well paid and always has a bright future as well. What’s more, he can develop his abilities to the full at
his post.
In my opinion
12, Of all my teachers, Mr. Moore is the one who impresses me most. Though he is 34, he looks very young for his age. And he’s one of the most popular teachers in our school.
Compared with other teachers, Mr. Moore pays more attention to his way of teaching. He tries various ways to make his classes lively and interesting. In his opinion, we should not only know “what”, but also understand “why”. So, instead of giving us answers immediately, he encourages us to think by ourselves whenever he puts forward questions. With his help, we’ve learned how to analyze and settle problems. What a wonderful world of “why” he leads us to!
He is such a learned person that we all admire him very much.
13, One possible version:
With the improvement of people’s living conditions, owning private cars is becoming popular in China. Different voices arise in recent survey conducted by us.
Those in favor of buying private cars argue that waiting for buses wastes much time. Even when they manage to get onto the bus, crowdedness often makes them uncomfortable. Private cars make up for the above headaches, though. Besides, owning cars indicates the advancement of our country, and in turn, it stimulates auto
industry and therefore contributes to economic development. However, other people list some unfavorable effects of private cars. They often create traffic jams; they consume plenty of oil. What’s more, they give off enormous waste gases, causing pollution and disease.
In our view, to develop clean and hybrid fuels may be a good solution to air pollution, because it can reduce the emission of carbon dioxide. In addition, efficient and convenient public transportation systems can also discourage people from buying private cars. On the whole, awareness of environment protection needs the collective efforts from the government as well as the public.
14, Dear Catharine,
I’m very glad to receive your letter. In your letter, you asked me what I would do on Mother’s Day. Here I would like to tell you something about my plan.
Firstly, I think I should help my mum do some housework, such as tidying the rooms or washing some clothes, for I am very thankful for all the work she has done for me. Secondly, I would like to send her some flowers as a gift, wishing her to be much younger and happier. Thirdly, I am going to write her a card to tell how much she means to me, and that I’ll try my best to live up to her
expectations.
Have you got any other ideas? Look forward to your reply.
Best wishes.
Yours truly,
Wang Ping
15, Dear Steve,
Your letter has reached me. The severe snowstorm has struck as many as 14 provinces in central and south China. There has never been so long and so heavy a snowstorm in the past 50 years. In those provinces, nearly all the water and electricity supplies are damaged or even destroyed. Moreover, the electricity plants are not prepared for such a snowstorm and they didn’t store enough coal before hand. Worse still, all the high ways are covered with deep snow or ice so almost all the transportation has come to a halt. Even some of the airports are closed. People’s life is greatly affected.
In spite of all this, the government called on the whole nation to support the places hit by the bad weather. Many PLA men, policemen and technical workers are struggling where they are badly needed. Thanks to the leadership of our Party, the whole situation is now returning to normal.

17, One possible version:
Recently, Ministry of Education has announced to add Peking Opera as a compulsory course in primary and secondary schools. Different people have different opinions on it. My classmates held a discussion on it the other day.
According to the discussion, there are two different opinions. Some students support the project wholeheartedly. They think Peking Opera can help promote Chinese culture because it has a long history and is rich in traditional culture. Besides, Pekiing Opera is a synthesis of different arts and has an elegant form of expression, which can help develop students' aesthetic ability.
Others hold a different opinion. They think students should have some freedom to choose what to learn. If they are forced to learn, their learning interest can be damaged. They also argue that there are many local operas all over China. Different local operas can be taught in different areas to pass down Chinese traditional culture.
I share the view of the second group. Besides their reasons, I also worry whether there are enough qualified teachers for the task. In addition, we have so many traditional arts in history that it's impossible to learn them all in classroom.
18, Recently we made a survey of whether we should have long holiday in the coming National Day. 45% of the survey people
(1000)hope to have a long holiday since this provides them with adequate time for a trip and they can relax themselves completely. They also mention that with the long holiday, they have more fun staying with the family. However, 55% of people say that during the long holiday, there are more traffic jams and even traffic accidents. What’s more, the crowded people gathering in some famous places has caused damage to the relics and led to poor service quality.
19, The Significance and Purpose of Reading
The passage mainly tells us reading can influence a person both positively and negatively. It can enlarge our minds, improve our thinking and expand our love and sympathies which in turn facilitate our actions, but bad reading also hurts.
As far as I’m concerned, reading plays a very important role in life. It provides a source of satisfaction and pleasure, but also serves as a means to seek information and to acquire, develop and apply knowledge. People read to develop thinking skills, to enhance language proficiency and to broaden life experience, too.
For example, people advocate learning English through reading English novels. This method did not work miracle for me until one day when I was engaged in the story, I got the same enjoyment as I read Chinese novels. Then I realized that I shouldn’t let the pressure of learning ruin my enjoyment of reading. English is not and will never be the end by itself. The world through it is more fantastic and pleasant. This is what I have got from reading.
20, Dear American friend,
I’m a boy student from China. I’m 18 and I’m an optimistic person.
I feel happy all day. But recently, a problem has been troubling me. I have several good friends in my class. I often lend them things, such as pens, books, radio, Walkman and so on. But some
of them don’t take care of them at all. My Walkman has been broken twice and most of the books are messy when they are returned. I deeply love these things, especially books. Sometimes, when I ask them to take good care of my things, or I don’t lend things to them because I don’t carry these things with me, I can see their unfriendly facial expressions. I’m afraid that they consider me
as a penny pincher, which I don’t like to be. I really don’t want
to lose my friends over this. But how can I solve the problem? Do you mind giving me some advice?
Thank you very much.
Li Hua。
