读写任务之记叙文专题导练
(一)
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。
About forty years ago, I was an instructor in the military college at Woolwich, when young Scoresby was given his first examination. I felt extremely sorry for him. Everybody answered the questions well, intelligently, while he did not know anything, so to speak. He was a nice, pleasant young man. It was painful to see him stand there and give answers that were wonders of stupidity.
I knew of course that when examined again he would fail and be thrown out. So, I said to myself, it would be a simple, harmless act to help him as much as I could.
I took him aside and found he knew a little about Julius Cesar’s history. But he did not know anything else. So, I tested him and worked him like a slave. I made him work, over and over again, on a few questions about, which I knew he would be asked.
He came through very well on the day of the examination. He got high praise too, while others who knew a thousand more than he were sharply criticized!
I thought that what in the end would destroy him would be the mathematics examination. I decided to make his end as painless as possible. So, I pushed facts into his stupid head for hours. Finally, however, I was shocked out of my mind. He took the first prize! And he got the highest praise.

[写作要求]
(1)可以参照阅读材料的篇章结构，组织故事，但不得直接引用原文中的句子；
(2)标题自定。
[评分标准]
概括准确，语言规范，内容合适，篇章连贯。
[写作指导]
(1)故事性的短文概括应围绕“什么人、发生了什么事、结局如何”来写，即阐述一个故事梗概，忌力陈细节，忌掺入个人评价。
(2)考虑概括内容与你所写故事之间的自然承接，可采用以下的承接方式：
This story reminds me of another story that happened to…
I also went through such an experience.
(3)简述相似经历，即与原阅读材料的故事一样能揭示同一主题思想而不同情节的故事。
(4)阅读原材料，不难看出作者想告诉我们只要有意志和勤奋，就会有“丑小鸭也会蜕变成天鹅”的奇迹，一切皆有可能。因此，我们可以拟定题目为Hard Work Creates Miracles。确定主题后，挑选一个类似的能说明主题思想的故事。
(5)在组织故事时，由于受篇幅的限制，我们也尽可能省去心理描写和对话等细节，用简练的语言（尽量用间接引语）把故事的过程讲清楚即可。组织故事时，可以简单列出要点，有利于我们选择短语、句型和相关的连接词语。
(6)写完故事后，应把你所写的故事和原材料的故事所揭示的主题思想用一两句话写出来, 即篇末点题。

EVERYONE has an experience they would rather forget. Some are embarrassing, some are moving, and some teach us a lesson. Here is a story of mine.
Last Sunday I went fishing. After setting up my fishing rod with bait, I sat down on the bank of the lake. But two hours later, I didn’t catch any fish. I got very angry and began to pack up my stuff, preparing to go back home.
Just then, I saw an old man sitting near me. To my surprise, his basket was full of fish, so I went over to him, wanting to know why. “Excuse me, but how long have you sat here?” I asked. “About four hours,” he answered. “Four hours?” I couldn’t believe my ears. “Yes. It’s very important to be patient,” the old man said. “Don’t consider fishing a tiring sport. Just enjoy it.” Suddenly, I understood what he said. I must learn to be patient. Then I sat there and waited for fish patiently. I felt a fish touch the bait, but I didn’t move and waited for the right moment to reel it in. At last, I caught it. This made me very happy. In the following six hours, I caught over 10 fish.
On my way home, I thought what had happened on the bank. I gradually realized that the secret of success was patience.

阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150字左右的英语短文。
One morning, Mr Hare was running on the road. Suddenly he saw Mr Tortoise, who was also running on the road towards him. Mr Hare ran up to Mr Tortoise and laughed at him. Mr Tortoise got angry and wouldn't take failure lying down, so he suggested having a race to see who could first get to the big tall tree by the roadsides. Mr Hare agreed with him without hesitation. The race began. Mr Hare and Mr tortoise started from the same line at the same time. When Mr Hare was far ahead of Mr Tortoise and even couldn't see Mr Tortoise, he thought that Mr Tortoise fell behind and couldn't catch up with him. So he stopped and lay down to have a nap. But soon he fell asleep. At the same time, Mr Tortoise kept on running and running. When Mr Hare woke up, he found Mr Tortoise had already sat under the tree and was smiling at him!

[参考范文]
（一）

Hard Work Creates Miracles
With his instructor’s help and his hard work, Scoresby, a stupid military man, did better than others in the history examination and even won the first prize in the mathematics examination!
This story reminds me of a similar experience of my cousin. He was nothing but a football fan. So you can imagine how angry and disappointed my uncle and aunt were every time the result of an exam came out! He had been the last in the list of the whole grade! Everybody around my cousin believed him hopeless. However, when he became a student of Senior Three, for some reason, he began to study very hard, or rather, day and night. In spite of the fact that he was quite often laughed at, he kept on studying. To everybody’s surprise, he was finally admitted into a famous university.
From the above two stories, we can see that nothing is impossible and that hard work creates miracles!
(二)
Patience
The story is about an unforgettable lesson of the writer from an old man while fishing, through which the writer realized patience was very important and that it was the secret of success.
I have a similar experience. Once I waited for the bus at the stop for 30 minutes, no bus came. I couldn’t wait any longer and decided to walk to school. But no sooner had I left than the bus arrived. I thought if I had waited for one more minute, I would have caught it. If I wanted to take the next bus, I would have to wait for another 30 minutes. Only then did I realize the importance of patience. Being impatient will waste all the efforts that we have made. Patience also plays an important part in our study and life. With it we can achieve greater.
Now, whenever I am to lose my patience, I’ll think of the experience of waiting for a bus.
(三)
Pride goes before failure
The folktale mainly tells us that in a race Mr Hare proudly thought he would be sure to beat Mr Tortoise and so he lay down to have a nap. As a result, he lost the race.
From the story, we learn that we must take everything seriously and keep a modest attitude towards our studies or work. Besides, we shouldn’t be proud at any time.
The day I came first in the English exam was the happiest day of my life. I had studied very diligently for many weeks and was well prepared for the exam. When the teacher announced that I was the first, I felt so proud that I thought my English was already excellent enough and I didn’t need to study English hard any longer. During the following few months, I didn’t listen to the teacher attentively in class and never did I do my homework after class. In the next exam, the result was quite different. I fell far behind.
From then on, I became modest and never proud again.
