【題目】請(qǐng)閱讀下面短文，并按要求以O(shè)ur Life Rests on Our Choice為題，用英語(yǔ)寫一篇150詞左右的文章。

Life is a matter of choice．Seemingly, it means a choice of concrete (具體的) things．But in fact, it means choosing a way of life．Life is to be lived and enjoyed, not to be wasted or complained about．

Hardly can we forget the time when our society faced the threat from the life-and death disease --- SARS．Yet, even during those dreadful times, some suffering people remained optimistic．Instead of wearing white masks, some people turned to colorful ones, and thus displayed a happy mood．And some creative people dubbed SARS to mean “SMILE AND REMAIN SMILING．” People who survive these kinds of circumstances decide in their minds to carry on in spite of the hardships．

Although we cannot choose our appearance, inborn gifts and even avoid unexpected disasters and adversities (逆境), we do have the right to choose to live optimistically, to love our lives, to have dreams, and to cherish hopes．

Every morning when we get up, we have a choice of how we want to approach life that day．

Disability aids are vital to those who suffer problems with executing work with two hands．These are people who have been disabled due to some major sickness or some other problems．In order to help them carry on their work in the normal way, disability aids are manufactured．This helps them make their life a lot easier than what it would have been without these aids．The kind of disability aids that an individual might require depends on the person only．It is the problem that a person faces that decides the aids that he/she will use for carrying out their respective jobs．The following is the list of a few disability aids that come of significant use．

The first and foremost aid is the stocking aid, aiding the individuals suffering from the problem of bending down to reach the foot and wear their own socks．These stocking aids have a gutter(槽) that is made up of plastic material．These gutters are shaped in a certain way along with the attachment of cotton tapes in it．The sock is then put over the gutter．The foot is placed inside the gutter．The cotton tapes help in pulling the socks up the leg and subsequently the sock．In this manner, the sock is worn by a person who has problems wearing it by bending one’s back and reaching the foot．

There are openers that help the people who have problems with their hands or wrists to open bottles of ketchup, jam and other such bottles and jars that necessitates the use of hands and fingers．

The third type of disability aids that comes to our minds are lifts．Now what are lifts? Lifts are certain machines that help in lifting people from specific areas, such as a bathtub or a set of stairs．These lifts are of varied types and come for numerous applications．It is for the individual to decide the type that he/she requires to use．

For people, who have problems in balancing their upper bodies in a stable manner, there is something known as grab rails．These grab rails are installed for those who have mobility problems in their upper bodies．These rails come in varieties of shapes, sizes and angles．These grab rails are available to home users as well, in their different variations．One can purchase and fix one to their homes according to one’s specificities．These grab rails require the act of screwing and drilling in order to fix them to their appropriate place．The prices of these rails also vary according to the variation of their shapes and sizes．

A portable book holder is a much sought-after disability aid．It can be used by anybody for that matter, not just the disabled．These portable book holders are light-weight and can be easily moved about．These holders relieve the strains on one’s hands, necks and shoulders that might occur due to the handling of a book．The holders are provided with extended legs that help in placing the reading material at suitable distance．

Thus with the help of these disability aids, the old and disabled people can make their lives much more convenient and comfortable that would otherwise have been a cumbersome and complex one．

【題目】Everyone knows how the story of Cinderella does everything from sweeping the floor to cooking the meals before she meets the prince. If someone asked Cinderella, “Are there any kinds of household work that you particularly hate?” She probably would answer , “Why , none , of course. Housework is my duty!” In the real world, however, most people have certain dislikes for some kinds of household work. Two of these tasks are ironing（熨）clothes and washing dishes.

Ironing clothes is most hated because it is not a task that can be completed quickly or thoughtlessly. Each piece of clothing must be handled（處理）separately, so ironing a basket of them can take hours! If you do not follow directions carefully, it might become wrinkled and you have to start over. Perhaps that is why ironing is not a favorite thing to do. It calls for extreme attention to detail from beginning to end.

Another household job that many people dislike is washing dishes. Of course, some people claim that this work is no longer a problem because , we have dishwashers now! However, no one would argue that dishes, silverware, and especially pots and pans washed in a dishwasher don’t come out as clean as they do when washed by hand. For this reason, many of us continue to wash our dishes. And it is a job that not only takes a lot of energy but also requires the patience to wash and dry them. In addition, unlike ironing clothes, washing dishes is a thing that usually must be done every day. I don’t know how Cinderella felt about this particular task, but I believe that most people hate it as much as I do.

【1】For Cinderella, doing household work is __________.

A. what she hates to do

B. what she is responsible for

C. what she loves to do

D. what she is content with

【2】 Most people hate to do clothes-ironing because _________.

A. it takes a lot of time

B. it has to be done by one person

C. it must be handled skillfully

D. it needs careful planning

【3】 Many people still prefer washing dishes by hand to machine washing because _________.

A. hand washed dishes are cleaner

B. dishwashers are not so easily handled

C. some dishes cannot be washed by machine

D. washing dishes by hand is cheaper

【4】Ironing is different from washing dishes in that _________.

A. it requires patience

B. it is not a daily housework

C. it is not tiring

D. it needs less care

Dear Arthur,

In your last letter, you told me something about your sister’s surfing on the Internet. I’m familiar to your situation. As computers become more and more popular, some students cannot help play online games and chatting. It is not only a problem of wasting time, and a serious problem for their future! What you should do at first is to find out what make her addicted to computer games. Lack of love from parent? Poor scores? Then having a heart-to-heart talk with her. Secondly, you should help herself with her study to build up her confidence and make her interesting in it. Thirdly, find something else for her to do instead computer games. Your efforts will surely help change her life.

Yours,

Colin
