I Want to Smile
There are many advantages of smiling. It can not only make us happy, but also please others. If we smile at life, life will smile on us in return. So I want to smile at all whenever and wherever possible,
First, I would like to smile at my parents because they have given me life and take all the trouble to bring me up. They arrange almost everything for me. With their help, I have made great progress. I would like to say "Thank you" to them with a smile. Then my smile should go to myself, for only in this way can I gain more confidence in smiling my troubles away and live a better life.
In a word, let's greet every day with a smile. Tomorrow is another day.

The mouse is a most effective device used by people to communicate with a computer.
【参考范文】
The mouse is a most effective device used by people to communicate with a computer.
For most people, it's almost impossible to operate a computer without a mouse, let alone surf the Internet. A well-chosen mouse is really handy, flexible and convenient in controlling the screen. With the functions of inserting, deleting, moving and copying, it enables us to edit test, browse web page and download what we want. It can even bring us a flood of music, movies and PC games. Just imagine, all this can be done with a cute mouse.
A convenient tool can certainly make our work easier, but it doesn't always help in a positive way. Too much ready information on our fingertips leaves little room for knowledge pursuing. Too many ready answers make us less excited in finding truth. Relying too much on mouse clicking makes us lazier and less creative both mentally and physically.(153 words)
Passage 1
(08·湖南)
请从下列人物中选择你最喜欢的一
位,用英语写一篇120词左右的短文.要求根据所给信息作适当发挥,且需包括以下三部分内容:
1.对该人物的简单介绍;2.喜欢该人物的理由;3.从该人物身上得到的启示.
Thomas Edison
Helen Keller
William Shakespeare
inventor;creative;diligent;
full of wisdom
ordinary but great woman;disabled;
optimistic;eager to learn
writer;talented;imaginative;
man of all ages
"Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration."
"...if I had the power of sight for three days."
"Life is a stage..."
【参考范文】
Sample 1:Thomas Edison
Born in America, Thomas Edison was a great scientist and inventor. He was once thought to be a boy who was not worth educating. In fact, he was a man full of imagination.
I admire Edison a lot because of his great contribution to the world. He had more than 1,000 inventions. In his lifetime, he was always eager to know how things worked, which helped him to earn the nickname"the Wizard of Melo Park".He was also so diligent that he worked day and night. And this explained why he had so many great inventions.
What impresses me most is his famous saying,"Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration."Probably I cannot be an Edison myself, but I can be a hard-working learner. From him, I realize the secret to success is not when or where you were born, but what you are doing and how you do it in your life.
Sample 2:Helen Keller
Every time I read"...if I had the power of sight for three days",I cannot help being moved by its author Helen Keller, an ordinary but great American woman.
I admire Helen because she is optimistic about life. She became deaf and blind when she was 19 months old. Since then she lived in a world of darkness and silence, and communication seemed only a dream for her. But she never gave up and struggled to lead an active life. Under the guidance of her teacher, Ms. Sullivan, Helen learned to read and write and became a famous writer. For a disabled person like her, this was really a wonder!
Helen has set an excellent example to all of us. Her story tells us that we should value what we have, and try our best to overcome any difficulty in life.
Sample 3:William Shakespeare
Do you know Hamlet Have you read The Merchant of Venice These two great works are both written by William Shakespeare, my favorite English writer and the man of all ages!
Shakespeare, a son from a poor family, a man of little education, wrote plays and poems that are read all over the world. I like him because his comedies and tragedies bring me into a fantastic world; I love him because his poems let me enjoy the beauty of the English language; I admire him because his keen sights set me thinking and teach me how to lead a meaningful life!
Since"Life is a stage",we are actually all actors and actresses. On this stage, everyone has his own role to play, and I will try my best to play my role well.

wn to us all that some students cheat in examinations at school.
As students, we often take examinations at school, but sometimes we have too many examinations which are too difficult for us. On the other hand, some of us are lazy and don't work hard at their lessons. So when taking examinations, they sometimes cheat in order to get better results to please their parents and teachers.
In my opinion, it is wrong to cheat in examinations because it breaks the rules of schools. We students should be honest and try to get good results by studying hard instead of cheating in examinations. What's more, we should improve our study methods and get well prepared for examinations.

3,参考词汇:energetic, adj. 有活力的 enthusiastic, adj. 热情的 create, vt. 创造
Opinions are divided on this question.
【参考范文】
Opinions are divided on this question. Some students may like elderly teachers' teaching because they think elderly teachers have more teaching experience and that they tend to be patient and careful with explanations. However, I prefer to be taught by young teachers. Firstly, we students have much in common with them. So they are our friends as well as our teachers. Secondly, they are more energetic and enthusiastic. Usually they can make their classes lively and interesting. Besides, they are more ready to accept or create new ideas, including teaching. Thirdly, most young teachers devote themselves to their work, making them teach creatively and effectively.
In a word, I prefer young teachers to elderly teachers.

Boys and girls:
We high school students do have some growing pains, but we can rid of them correctly and wisely. First, some of us are upset about their body styles and looks. It's unnecessary and it's not important at all. We needn't care about it. It is one's inner beauty that matters. Second, we sometimes seem to be misunderstood by our teachers, parents and classmates. Facing this, we can find a proper time to have a heart-to-heart talk with them, trying to remove the misunderstanding. Some of us have fewer friends. I think being open-minded and friendly will do you good. Third, we may fa
ll behind others, which makes us stressed. Actually we can encourage ourselves to work efficiently, full of determination. Last, some of us don't have much pocket money, so they feel unhappy. Isn't it strange So long as we have some, that's enough. And we can learn to spend money!
That's all. Thank you.

2.参考词汇:text messages 短信
【参考范文】
The Pros and Cons on Thumb Culture
The other day our class had a discussion on the advantages and disadvantages of Thumb Culture.
Most students are for sending text messages with cell phones because rapidly typed messages can keep them in touch with one another constantly. Besides, text messages with greetings or jokes seem more fashionable to the young than hand-written cards.
However, the minority of the students are against it. They say Thumb Culture may cause new health problems or even injure the thumb by repeating the same typing movements too frequently. Unexpected messages may disturb your friends if they are working or studying. In addition, such traditional ways of communication as hand-written letters and cards can bring people more feeling of warmth.
Anyway, it's hard for us to reach the same conclusion. Maybe the argument will long exist.

Recently there was a heated discussion among Senior 3 students in our school. The students were questioned whether they were willing to have the evening self-study at school or not. Here is the result according to the survey.
60 percent of the students think it's a good idea to have the evening self-study at school. They think they can do better in their study with the help of the teachers. Also, they can concentrate on their lessons better in the classroom and with company of their fellow classmates.
There are 25 percent of the students who think they prefer to study at home. They suppose that they may get disturbed by others and there are possible dangers on their way home alone.
At the same time, still 15 percent of the students don't have a clear answer to the question. They say they

Dear editor,
I'm a student in Senior Three. We have made a survey - "Who do you turn to when in trouble " Here are the results.
58% of the students will go to their classmates or friends when in trouble .They're almost of the same age, so they can talk with and understand each other easily. While 30% of the students will tell their teachers or parents about their troubles and ask for their help as the teachers and parents have rich experience and love them very much. They can be trusted by these students. Only a few students solve their problems all by themselves. They hate to talk with others and can' t get on well with others. They have few friends.
In my opinion, when in trouble we'd better ask our teachers, parent, friends or classmates for help.
Yours,
Li Hua

The average family income in our Kangming City increased from 8,000 yuan per year in 1998 to 20,000 yuan in 2008.
【参考范文】
The average family income in our Kangming City increased from 8,000 yuan per year in 1998 to 20,000 yuan in 2008. In the meantime, the structure of the average family expenses has changed, too. These graphs show the change clearly.
The biggest part of the average family expenses is housing. In 1998, the average family spent 25 percent of its income on housing. In 2880, expenses on housing rose to 42 percent. Food and drink are the second biggest part of the average family expenses. In 1998, about 18% of the average income was spent on this item. In 2008, the figure grew to 30%. As a result of such increase in the expenses on housing and food, expenses on other items have been reduced from 57% in 1998 to 28%in 2008.
Thus, a conclusion can be drawn that as income increases, people can improve their living step. But still the average family has to spend a large part of income to meet the basic needs.

Good morning everyone,
In today's world,being able to master a foreign language will be:helpful in our life.
Here I'd like to share with you my opinions about my English learning..First of all.I think it useful to learn some grammar and remember as many useful sentence patterns as I can.As we all know,the more we read,the better our English will be.So I spend much time reading English newspapers and magazines after class,which helps to improve my English.Besides,TV and radio programmes are of great help for my listening.
Learning English not only increases my awareness of foreign cultures but also helps me to communicate with English-speaking people and to make more new friends.

And I also find some English pronunciations rather confusing. I would appreciate it if you could. give me some advice on how to learn,English better.

There has been a reversal of the brain drain since 1978 across the country.
【参考范文】
There has been a reversal of the brain drain since 1978 across the country. Between 1978 and 2007, about 7,000 overseas Chinese returned to Shanghai after completing their studies abroad. They accounted for about 25% of all returnees nationwide. The year 2008 has witnessed a boom. The number of returnees came up to 15,000. By the end of 2010, a further 22,000 will have returned to this city.
The reversal of the brain drain mainly arises from three facts. Firstly, our government values overseas Chinese scholars highly, encourages them to return home to start their own careers and has worked out a series of preferential policies. In Shanghai, the famous international city, they can enjoy a modern lifestyle. Secondly, China's economy has been developing at a high speed, which provides them with a vast space of development. Many returnees have achieved outstanding success in scientific research or in high-level management. They are playing a more and more important role. Thirdly, the current global financial crisis leaves many overseas out of work or at the edge of being laid off. They feel more secure at home because the economy is more stable.
I hope that more overseas Chinese can head home. There is a bright future ahead of them.

Should Science and Arts Education Be Separated
The issue of separating science and arts education is getting heated up as debate spreads throughout the country, which attracts tens of thousands of votes. About 50% of the people interviewed think it unwise to get arts and science separated in high school. In their opinion, a real expert needs a wide range of knowledge, With the development of modern society, multi-skilled people are in great demand, However, over 40% of them insist that they should be separated so that students can concentrate on some subjects and become experts, Besides, they will not be overburdened as before.
As far as I'm concerned, a comprehensive education si better than a separated one, A strong ability in both science and arts is helpful for the long-term development of individuals and the society as a whole, Worldwide, only in China science and arts are separated , which has had a bad effect on students' sound development. It's high time we changed this model, I don't think comprehensive education will put a heavy burden on the students,

【参考范文】
According to a recent survey,about 25 percent of college students have a part-time job
. During summer vacation,this figure will increase to 72 percent.College students are working as tutors,waiters or salesmen.
Why do they want part-time jobs First,they want to earn money to help cover the increasingly higher college tuition. Second, they hope to be economically independent and buy whatever they want.
In my opinion,by doing part-time jobs,college students can gain some society experience and broaden their outlook.What's more,part-time jobs can provide them with a valuable chance/opportunity to know the outside world.So it's of great significance for college students to do part-time jobs.

Showing respect to parents is one of the Chinese traditional moral values, As most of the students today are "the only child" in their family, they often regard themselves as the "centre" of the family without caring much about their parents, our school started a program, which is called "Respecting Parents Program", Ten "do's" have been wor

Is Recycling Textbook a Good suggestion
On behalf of our group, I'd like to give a brief summary
of our discussion on the topic "Is Recycling Textbook a Good Suggestion " As we know, when high school students graduate from school, their textbooks are thrown away, which are still in good condition. What a great waste it is!
A suggestion has been put forward that we should recycle the textbooks. Some students in my group agree to this suggestion. For one thing, recycling textbooks can save a lot of natural resources, which are used to make textbooks. And it can also save plenty of family expenses. For another, in western countries, recycling textbooks is very popular and it gives us a good example. But some have different opinions about it, for the content of the textbooks are often renewed. What's more, it is not proper to make notes in the textbooks. But in my opinion, this is a wonderful idea because this will do good to both the government and the families.

In my opinion, the Beijing Olympic has been a successful one in every aspect, including the performance of the Chinese athletes, the Opening Ceremony and the organization.

My mother helped to wash the clothing for him. Following mother's example, I swept his floor, together with some of my classmates. We also cleaned his rooms, pasted Spring Festival couplets and hang some red lanterns in his yards, which made his home take on a new look.
In our society everyone should give help to those who need help. If everyone devotes a bit, all of us may feel even warmer.

In the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games Chinese athlete Liu Xiang dropped out of the race due to his foot injury,which led to a heated discussion among people across the country
According to a survey conducted by Sina Website,about 34%of the people think an athlete should quit the race when injured since health is much more important than a gold medal However, nearly 20%of the citizens believe that an injured athlete should hold on to the end instead of giving up halfway They regard the sport field as a battlefield in which every athlete should fight for the honor of his or her country in spite of any difficulty
In my opinion,it's a right choice for Liu Xiang to choose to quit the race For one thing,nothing is more imp
ortant than health and sports doesn't mean sacrificing one's health for a gold medal;for another,after Liu Xiang recovers fully,he still has many chances to realize his dream.

As call be seen from the diagram above,nowadays middle school students spend most of
their pocket money on snacks,clothes,things for entertainment and social communication
However they seldom buy learning resources Furthermore,some of them are free to buy
whatever they like without considering the income of their family and their needs.
In my opinion,it's wrong of us students to consume blindly, such as following the fashion,
pursuing famous brands of clothes .As we know, once seeking material comforts,we will lose the
motivation of learning Therefore,we should spend our pocket money on what we really need
also.we should acquire a scientific outlook of consumption and focus on study.What's more,it's essential for us to develop a good habit of saving money.

As time goes on, people are getting richer and their life is getting better and better. As a result, more people are ready to buy cars for their own use. But different people have different ideas about whether they should buy cars for personal use.
Some people hold the belief that buying cars for personal use can help develop motor industry in our country. With the help of cars, it will be convenient for them to go to and off work. Besides, cars can make their life more colourful and beautiful.
As we all know, every coin has two sides. Some people think that more personal cars will make roads more crowded and produce more dirty gases. In addition, more cars will use more resources. Therefore, too many cars will make energy supply more demanding.
As far as I am concerned, I think it necessary for people to buy their own cars as long as they are able to.

Dear Editor,
I am a Senior Three student. Recently we have carried out a survey-"To whom do you go when in trouble " The main findings are as follows.
61% of the students surveyed select friends or schoolmates as their ideal listeners when they have trouble, the reason of which is that they are in the same age group and have a better understanding of each other. Another 22% choose teachers and parents to talk to. They suggest that teachers and parents are rich in life and educational experiences. Nevertheless, there are also 17% who don't share their troubles at all.They say that their troubles are none of others' business. Others find it hard to get along with others.
It is not easy to reach definite conclusions based on such a small example. However, some general comments can be made. It seems clear from the response that some students lack communication with others and teachers and parents need to play a more important role in their lives.

As is apparently shown in the chart above, many middle school students have problems both physically and mentally, with 70% of the students having learning anxiety as well as poor eyesight, and a larger percentage lacking sleep. Coming next is the lack of physical exercise. 40% of the students surveyed won't obey their parents or teachers. In addition, Still fewer claim not to have enough communication with others.
As far as I am concerned, we students should balance our physical exercise and studies. Just as a saying goes: "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy," without a sound body, one cannot achieve anything. However, too much attention has been paid only to studies. Therefore, I suggest we be given less homework and more time for out-of-classroom activities to solve all the problems. Only in this way can we lead a happy and healthy life.

The global financial crisis of 2008 has contributed to a more fierce competition in job markets. Increasing numbers of college graduates are finding themselves in a situation where too many jobseekers are fighting for survival. Our class has had a heated discussion on this problem.
Students have different ideas.
70% of
them think it makes sense that they realize an early employment by lowering their income expectations, thus reducing the burden on their families. They also believe there're better opportunities for development if they go to work in the west or rural areas. 20% of them consider full employment an unrealistic goal, so they choose to continue their further study or go to vocational schools to learn some practical skills to make better preparations for future careers. Finally, the rest 10% determine to set up their own businesses.
As for me, I think after a series of timely measures taken by the government, we are confident about and capable of overcoming the current difficulties and challenges and the employment prospects for graduates will be better soon. So all we need to do now is plan and act in ways that reflect the reality, to assure that we make full use of our talent and skills.

Opinions are divided on the problem about whether we should buy products promoted by a star.
Some students say that they prefer to buy products promoted by a star because most of them care about the quality of the products they are going to advertise. Besides, buying those products is a way to support the stars they like.
However, others express their opposite opinions. They think what some stars really care when they make an advertisement is money but not the quality of the product. In addition, the product that a star advertises is not necessarily suitable for everyone.
In my opinion, we should be cool and sensible while choosing a product. The main aspect we are supposed to consider is not the advertisement or the star but the quality of products and their real usefulness in our daily life.

Dear Sir,
I'm a student of Senior 3. I am writing to tell you about the discussion we've had about whether to board in the school or at home.
Many of our parents and teachers ask us to board in the school. They say it will be very convenient for us to ask questions whenever necessary. Besides, they think it's possible for us to make full use of our time and develop our ability to be independent.
However, we students have our own thoughts. On our way to school or back home, we can get relaxed. It is quiet at home and we can study efficiently. What's more, whatever we want while staying at home, we can be free to learn .
In my opinion, it is a better idea to stay at home in the evening.
