I burned through my income in the department stores on Saturday mornings, then burned through my credit cards at the night clubs on Saturday nights. Before too long, I was deeply in debt and constantly borrowing more money from my friends. It was during this time that I reflected on my behaviour, and decided that life was a lot more comfortable when you werent continually stressed about money.For me, being thrifty （节俭）is not about being short on money. Its about being smart with your money so you can enjoy your life to is fullest. I love recycling and getting back to nature, and teaching the kids about eco-friendly and responsible living.Whether I like it or not, my natural feeling is to find ways to do everything for less. Less money, less time and less stress!【写作内容】1. 以30个词概括上文的主要内容。2. 以约120个词就“节俭”的话题谈谈你的想法，内容包括：对你来说，节俭是什么？你认为节俭是否重要？为什么？就生活中如何做到节俭提一些建议。【写作要求】1. 作文中可以使用亲身经历或虚构的故事，也可以参照阅读材料的内容，但不得直接引用原文中的句子。2. 作文中不能出现真实姓名和学校名称。【评分标准】概括准确，语言规范，内容合适，语篇连贯。参考范文一In the passage, the writer describes how he forgot his familys thrifty tradition and eventually met with financial difficulty. This helped him realized the importance of thriftiness and start to practise thriftiness again._To me, being thrifty means valuing money, making the most of what I have and trying never to spend beyond my budget or on unnecessary things._Thrift is an old and dated concept to many young people. As life has become a lot easier, people tend to indulge(沉溺) in a luxurious lifestyle. Thats why I regard this nearly forgotten practice more important now than ever before._Actually, to be thrifty can be really simple. Most of the time, _its simply a matter of being more thoughtful in our everyday life: _turning off lights when leaving the room, not using the _air-conditioners unless necessary, bringing our water bottle from _home rather than spending on soft drinks, using public transports _to avoid needles driving and parking, ordering just enough when _eating out, and so forth. To do these might mean doing things _others wont do and controlling our desires. But remember, a smart _person is not one who always tries to impress others by showing off _their wealth, but one who spares no effort to save for the future _and for others._参考范文二The writer recalls the stress and economic problems he had after moving to a big city, forgetting the thrifty habits of his youth and wasting all his money. At last, however, he learned his lesson and became thrifty once more.I think a thrifty person is someone who uses only what they need and avoids wastes. Being thrifty can save us money, but more importantly, it is necessary if we want to save our planet. In the face of growing environmental problems, I believe it is more necessary than ever to reduce the amount of rubbish and pollution each individual produces. If we fail to control the amount of waste we produce, our society and our planet are doomed(毁灭) and this concern must outweigh any short-term satisfaction we get from buying and consuming more.It is for the reason that I buy as much fresh food as possible, rather than packaged food, which requires much more energy to produce and adds to our pollution problems. I also try to cycle or walk everywhere I go, or at least use public transport rather than getting a taxi or depending on a private car. Actions like these keep me fit and healthy, helping environment and leave me with more money in my pocket! Why dont you try these too? You might really enjoy the results.（二）Education Does Count (Excerpt)- Bill GateHundreds of students send me e-mails each year asking for advice about education. They want to know what to study, or whether its OK to drop out of college since thats what I did.My basic advice is simple and heartfelt. “Get the best education you can. Take advantage of high school and college. Learn how to learn.Its true that I dropped out of college to start Microsoft, but I was at Harvard for three years before dropping out and Id love to have the time to go back. As Ive said before, nobody should drop out of college unless they believe they face the opportunity of a lifelong. And even then they should reconsider.In my companys early years, we had a bright part-time programmer who threatened to drop out of high school to work full-time. We told him no.Quite a few people didnt finish college, but we discourage dropping out.Having a diploma certainly helps someone who is looking to us for a job.Theres not a perfect correlation (相连关系) between attitudes in high school and success in later life, of course. But its a real mistake not to take the opportunity to learn a huge range of subjects, to learn to work with people in high school, and to get the grades that will help you get into a good college. 【写作内容】1. 以约30个词概括短文的内容；2. 然后以约120个词谈谈你对教育的看法，内容包括：(1) 为什么有些学生想中途放弃学业去创业?(2) 你认为读书与事业之间的关系是怎样的；(3) 你自己有何打算?参考范文：The Author is often asked to give advice about education due to his successful experience. He thinks it is unwise to drop out and that learning is sure to be beneficial.Some students want to drop out of school, believing schooling has nothing to do with a successful career, because there are many cases where people who dont finish their schooling are successful, such as Bill Gates. Besides, the high tuition of college education is too much for ordinary families. Dropping out to find a job helps them to lighten the heavy financial burden on their parents. Furthermore, experience counts most for a career and no wonder some would like to accumulate experience by taking a job at an early age.Knowledge is power. Schools are where people become knowledgeable. As for me, I will make full use of time to complete my schooling and achieve my dream.（三）It was a sunny spring day, but that was lost on me. In my mind a thousand concerns and worries were racing around and around. It seemed as if they were going to ruin my life. I had even foolishly taken the day off work so I could spend more time on my worrying. I couldnt think. I couldnt relax. I couldnt even sit still.Hoping to clear my head, I drove to a local lake that had a quiet patharound it. As I walked along my brain continued to race. Halfway around I stopped at a small bench and sat down. My legs werent tired, but my brain was exhausted. After sitting a few minutes I just let go and stopped thinking. I listened to the gentle music of the birds singing their love songs in the trees. I watched as the sun shone and danced off the clear waves of the lake. I noticed the first wild flowers of spring growing towards thelight. I breathed in the fresh, clean air. I felt at peace for the firsttime all day. I stayed happily there on that bench for a longtime. And when I finally left I took the peace with me. 写作内容1.以约30个词概括上文的主要内容。2.以约120个词就“何以解忧”的话题谈谈你的想法，内容包括：（1）作为中学生，你产生忧虑的原因及其影响；（2）你是如何调整情绪，摆脱忧虑的；（3）保持好心情的重要性。参考范文：So worried was the author that he found it difficult to rid himself of concerns and worries. However, while sitting by a lake and enjoying the peace of nature, he felt at peace with himself. _(With the mind full of concerns and worries, the author drove to a lake. Sitting on a bench and enjoying the peace of nature, he/she rid all the worries of himself/herself and felt at peace.)_The experience of the author reminds me of my years in high _school, which is a very worrying time for us students. Crammed _schedules, endless examinations and expectation from parents and _teachers are the main causes of my concerns and worries. _Sometimes, I am too worried to focus on my studies. Worse still, _my health also suffers a great deal._Since too much worry has a bad effect on our studies and lives, _effective means should be taken to deal with it. As for me, I _usually share my feelings with people around me, like my parents, _teachers or friends. Besides, I often free myself from worries by _listening to music or doing physical activities. If I still cannot rid _myself of worries, Ill have a good cry and then try to concentrate _on my studies._When we are free of worries, we can become healthier, study more efficiently and get along better with other people. In a word, only when we have a good mood can we grow up happily and healthily._（四）Michael is the kind of guy you love to hateHe is always in a good mood and always has something positive to sayIf an employee was having a bad day, Michael was there telling the employee how to look on the positive side of the situationSeeing this style really made me curious，so one day 1 went up to Michael and asked him. “I dont get itYou cant be positive all the timeHow do you do it?”Michael replied, Each morning 1 wake up and say to myself, Mike，you have two choices todayYou can choose to be in a good mood or you can choose to be in a bad mood.

He chooses and also gives others advice on how to be positive to lifeIn my opinion，when we face life，we should choose to be in a good mood and do something positive towards it because only in this way can we live more happily and do our work more successfully Three years ago when I first came to senior school，I was one of the top students in the classI took it for granted that I would be also in the top places in the following examinationsConsequently, in the first examination of the grade，I failed in several subjectsI was at a lose at first, not knowing what to do. Then I chose not to be pessimistic but to take some positive measures，such as analyzing the reasons of my failures and working even harder than beforeMuch to my delight, in the midterm examination，I became one of the top students in the class againIn face of life，its the best policy for us to choose to be positive and optimistic，so that we are more likely to live a happier life and do a even better job （五） Its all over the news: kids are spending a lot of time on homework, and research showsthat 29% of teenagers report spending 2 hours or more on homework every day in the U.S.Many kids just take the easy way out and refuse to do the homework given at school.Why do teenagers have so much homework? One of the answers is that teachers often havechildren covering material at home by themselves that they do not discuss during schooltime at all. Of course, the teachers reasoning for this is that there arent enough hours in the dayand they want to cover more areas on a certain subject.Some experts on education say there is no evidence to suggest that homework is helpfulto student achievement. On the contrary, too much of it can cause students to quit. Otherexperts, however, say that homework is necessary and helpful. They insist that homework isdesigned so students can practice the concepts taught in class, build good study habits, andreflect on their own learning.【写作内容】1.以约30词概括上文的主要内容：2.以约l 20 词就“高三学生的学习”谈谈你的想法，内容包括：(1)你的课后作业是否过多？(2)高三学生是否需要做大量课后作业？( 3)你如何安排课外的学习时间？参考范文1：It is reported that many teenagers are having too much homework to do.
