Dear World,
My son starts school today.It's going to be strange and new to him for a while, and I hope you will be nice to him.
You see, until now, he has been the boss of his home.I have always been around to take care of him and make him feel better.
But now, things are going to be different.This morning, he is going to walk down the front steps himself, say goodbye and start a new journey that will be difficult and .
It will require love and bravery to live his life in the world.
So, World, I hope you will take him by his young hand and teach him the things he will have to know.Give him quiet time to think about why there are birds in the sky and flowers on the green hill.Teach him that for every villain(恶棍), there is a hero; that for every enemy, there is a friend.Teach him how wonderful reading can be.Teach him that it is better to fail than it is to cheat.Teach him to believe in himself, even if everyone tells him that he is wrong.Teach him gently, World, but don't protect him from everything.Facing difficult situations will make him strong.
This is a big order, World, but see what you can do.
Yours,
A worried mother

I had a lot of teachers that I loved.However, the teacher that I remember most was Mrs Green from Marianna, Florida.She was my 5th grade teacher.Since I was a new student, not only in her class, but at the school she made my time there much more pleasant.I immediately began to like her.She was really funny and I knew that she liked me.She made learning fun.I remember one day for Christmas holidays, she taught us how to make ornaments(装饰物) from eggs.My parents still have some of the ornaments I made.
She made me the leader for many group projects and that made me feel special.I think that would make any child feel special, especially when a child is in a new place with no friends.She made me want to be like that.Not to pick a “favorite” student, but to make every student feel that they are special.That year, I received the Presidential Academic Award (美国总统学术奖).I was really proud and so were my parents.
Looking back on it, I think the reason why I did so well was that I felt I was important.Students do better when they feel they are important or loved.Mrs Green always gets to know her students and forms personal relationships with them, which I will try to do some day.I just hope that there will be a student who finds me to be his favorite teacher as I found her to be mine.

Each of us has dreams and for our future.What makes us study and make progress each day is closely connected with our personal dream and goal.But why do you have dreams and goals, you still end up with nothing?What differs successful people from the dreamers is their persistent(锲而不舍的) action.When you often find some of your lessons very hard, try and keep trying and you'll be sure to successfully solve any difficulty you meet with.
This is the famous formula(公式) for success:
Dream>Believe>Achieve
Most people have what they want (Dream) and think they can realize their dreams (Believe).And then they do nothing.They just imagine their dreams can come true.When they get tired waiting and lose a lot, they get bored.They say angrily how terrible their life is.
I personally believe that if you really want to achieve your dreams and goals in life, you have to add one thing to your success formula:
Dream>Believe>Act>Achieve
For me, act is the most important thing for success and that's to Take Persistent Action (Act).If you say, “I can't do it” and give up, you can never do anything valuable.However, “I'll try” creates wonders.Let's remember that there will always be challenges in our life.We must face them bravely and solve them.Success is not something that falls down from the sky.Most successful people made their dreams come true because of their persistent action.
Please remember:Persistent action is the bridge that connects our dreams and goals to reality.

Dear Mike,
Knowing that you are having difficulty in balancing study and rest, I'd like to share with you my experience and suggestions.
When I first entered high school, I was so eager to be a top student that I spent every minute on study even if I often felt uncomfortable and stressed.Finally, I fell apart and had to stay in hospital for two weeks.It was not until then that I began to change.My suggestions are as follows.Firstly, I recommend that you talk to your friends and teachers about effective ways of balancing study and rest.Secondly, it is necessary to make a reasonable schedule and stick to it as tightly as possible.Lastly, you'd better form some healthy habits, such as jogging, singing and painting.
Hopefully, my suggestions can make some difference.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
Ⅵ.读后续写
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
A funny thing happened to Arthur when he was on the way to work one day.As he walked along Park Avenue near the First National Bank,he heard the sound of someone trying to start a car.He tried again and again but couldn't get the car moving.Arthur turned and looked inside at the face of a young man who looked worried.Arthur stopped.“It looks like you've got a problem,” Arthur said.
“I'm afraid so.I'm in a big hurry and I can't start my car.”
“Is there something I can do to help?” Arthur asked.
The young man looked at the two suitcases in the back seat and then said, “Thanks.If you're sure it wouldn't be too much trouble, you could help me get these suitcases into a taxi.”
“No trouble at all.I'd be glad to help.”
The young man got out and took one of the suitcases from the back seat.After placing it on the ground, he turned to get the other one.Just as Arthur picked up the first suitcase and started walking,he heard the long loud noise of an alarm.
It was from the bank.There had been a robbery(抢劫)!
Park Avenue had been quiet a before.Now the air was filled with the sound of the alarm and the shouts of people running from all directions.Cars stopped and the passengers joined the crowd in front of the bank.People asked each other, “What happened?” But everyone had a different answer.
Arthur, still carrying the suitcase, turned to look at the bank and walked right into the young woman in front of him.She looked at the suitcase and then at him.Arthur was surprised.“Why is she looking at me like that?” he thought.“The suitcase!She thinks I'm the bank thief!”
Arthur looked around at the crowd of people.He became frightened, and without another thought, he started to run.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
【写作指导】
一、故事梗概
二、情节推断
根据已给出的续写部分每段的开头语并展开合理想象可推断:
1.第一段应主要描述Arthur在奔跑过程中坐上出租车的过程,其中应包括其心理活动。
2.第二段主要描述出租车到达警察局后发生的事,比如他向警察报告那个年轻人是劫匪,但那个年轻人也追到了警察局,这只是个误会。
可根据自己的想象构建故事情节。续写两段的四要素见下表:
Paragraph 1
Paragraph 2
时间:as he was running
地点:Park Avenue
人物:Arthur, the young man, the taxi driver
事件:ran, asked him to drive to the police station
时间:after getting to the police station
地点:the police station
人物:Arthur, the taxi driver, the police, the young man
事件:reported, surprise, felt embarrassed
三、要素串联
将已确定的四要素串联,并增加细节描写,完成读后续写。
One possible version:
As he was running,Arthur heard the young man shouting behind,“Stop,stop!” He thought the young man might be the bank thief.So Arthur ran faster and stopped a taxi.The moment he got into the taxi,he told the driver the man shouting behind was the bank thief and asked him to drive to the police station.The driver followed what Arthur said and drove away.
The taxi stopped in front of the police station and Arthur thanked the driver and directly went in.Just as Arthur was describing the robbery near the bank on Park Avenue and reported the young man to the police,he heard a voice outside,“Help!Help!” To the surprise of Arthur,it was the young man.He had followed Arthur in another taxi.Then they knew that the young man was not the thief and inside the suitcases were just some clothes.Arthur felt embarrassed but the policemen thanked him anyway.
