讀寫任務

How many times have you heard the expression that most people spend more time planning their vacation than they do planning their lives. I would expand that expression by adding that most people spend more time "thinking" about their vacation than they do thinking about what's important in their life.

While rest and relaxation are a must in living a balanced life, it's now what we were created to do. After all, the Master Creator took his R&R (Rest and Recreation) on the seventh day, only after six days of "definitely directed thought."

Wallace D. Wattles, wrote "There is no labor from which most people shrink as they do from that of sustained and continuous thought; it is the hardest work in the world." And yet it is the first and primary labor of achievement.

What is your life's purpose or your personal mission statement? Is it written down? Do you review it and think about it often? Is your life organized around your purpose and a set of goals that support that purpose?

Without purpose and goals --- definitely directed thought --- you are like the proverbial "shop without a rudder(舵)." There is power in your purpose and in your goals. It is the power that takes you over obstacles, the fuel that pushes you toward the life you expect.

【寫作內(nèi)容】

1. 用約30個單詞寫出上文概要；

2. 用約120詞發(fā)表你的觀點，內(nèi)容包括：

（1） 你如何規(guī)劃中學以后的人生？為什么？

（2） 為了實現(xiàn)你的目標，你將如何行動？

【寫作要求】

1. 寫作過程中不能直接引用原文句子；

2. 作文中不能狐仙真是姓名和學校名稱；

3. 不必寫標題

【評分標準】

內(nèi)容完整，語言規(guī)范，語篇連貫，詞數(shù)適當。

I was driving home the other day on a sunny afternoon. I had a smile on my face as I sang along to the songs on the radio. It was a beautiful day that I felt full of happiness. My good mood ended, however, when the radio station took a news break between songs. Then suddenly I found myself listening to yet another story of a rich famous man who had broken the law. I shook my head as I came to a red traffic light.

As I pulled to a stop I noticed four leather-jacketed bikers. They were standing in the middle of the road with two on either side of the light. They looked rough and dangerous, but as I got closer I noticed each one was holding their helmet in their hands. I rolled down my window as one approached my car. “We are the Brother’s of the Wheel”, he said. “We are collecting money for a Christmas Toy Drive for needy children”. As I pulled a dollar out of my wallet I looked past his beard and tattoos and into his eyes. They shined with a goodness and kindness that came right from his soul. I dropped the money in his helmet and waved to the other bikers as I drove off. My good mood had returned. My faith in mankind had been improved. And I had to remember again never to judge people by their appearance.

Our society often judges books by their covers, but God reads what is written in our hearts and souls. Perhaps one day we will all learn to see the world through the same eyes. Perhaps one day we will realize that looks matter little and actions matter much.

1.The writer’s good mood ended when __________.

A. he heard news between songs

B. he had to stop at a red traffic light

C. he heard a rich man broke the law

D. he saw four leather-jacketed kids in need

2.What were four bikers doing at the traffic light?

A. Having a bicycle race in the street.

B. Selling helmets to the passers-by.

C. Raising money to help kids in need.

D. Preparing for Christmas holidays.

3.The writer wants to tell us that we should ___________.

A. have faith in young people

B. judge others by their actions

C. change our attitude to society

D. manage to help others in need
