Section Ⅴ Writing——写一篇概要
◎
The Blue Bird is a six-act fairy play written by Maurice Maeterlinck.It’s a story about Tyltyl and Mytyl’s adventures as they search for the Blue Bird of Happiness.As the children of a poor woodcutter,they are secretly observing a party at the home of their wealthy landlords when a fairy appears.She uses a magic diamond to bring animals (their dog and cat),objects (sugar and bread) and elements(light,fire,water) in their home to life.Together,they set off on a dangerous journey in search of the Blue Bird.
Tyltyl and Mytyl go to many magical places.They encounter numerous characters such as their departed grandparents,trees that hate mankind,the greedy and ugly Luxuries,and children waiting to be born.Although they try very hard to find the Blue Bird,the birds they find either change colour or die.The children return home at last,and Tyltyl discovers the Blue Bird has been there all the time! He gives the bird to the neighbour’s little girl,curing her illness.But in the end,the bird flies away,and Tyltyl asks the audience to search for it.The central idea of the play is that happiness is to be found not in luxuries such as wealth,but in simple things that are found in family life,and in acts of friendship and kindness.

阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Many years ago,when I was fresh out of school,I was driving to my parents’ home in Missouri for the Spring Festival.I stopped at a gas station about 50 miles from Oklahoma City.While I was standing in line at the cash register (收款台),I said hello to an older couple who were also paying for gas.
I took off,but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car.I stopped and wondered what I should do.A car pulled up behind me.It was the couple.They said they would take me.We chatted and when I got out of the car,the husband gave me his business card.I wrote them a thank-you note.Soon afterward,I received a Spring Festival present from them.Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful.
Years later,I drove to a meeting in the morning.In late afternoon I found that I’d left the lights on all day,and the battery was dead.Then I noticed that the Friendly Ford dealership was right next door.I walked over and found two salesmen in the showroom.
“Just how friendly is Friendly Ford?” I asked and explained my trouble.They quickly drove a pickup truck to my car and started it.They would accept no payment,so later,I wrote them a note to say thanks.I received a letter back from one of the salesmen.No one had ever written him and said thank you,and it meant a lot,he said.
“Thank you”—two powerful words.They’re easy to say and mean so much.

Your hunger doesn’t necessarily mean you are really hungry.It is an important sign of what is happening in your body—physically,emotionally and mentally.Sounds strange? It is true and here in this article we shall discuss certain things that your hunger is trying to tell you.
When you feel hungry,try to figure out if you are really hungry.Sometimes when you think that you are hungry,you might be thirsty.It is possible that you have been dehydrated(脱水) for a long time and your body is sending a signal through your hunger.So instead of eating,go for water and quench your thirst at the earliest.
If you feel hungry all the time,it could mean that you are depriving(剥夺) yourself of certain foods and

hence the body is craving for these.If you are on a strict diet,then go for foods and legumes rich in protein along with complex carbohydrates(碳水化合物) like quinoa and brown rice that will take you a long time to digest and will keep you full for a long period of time.
You might get hungry for a certain kind of food only at times.This is because you become emotional about certain foods.For example,if you are happy and celebrating your anniversary,you might end up having a desire for the cake that you bought to celebrate the special occasion.This is called emotional eating.
Sometimes your hunger might mean that you need to take a break.When you end up working at a stretch,and you do not realize that your body needs rest,you can end up feeling hungry as it is a way your body is telling you to break free from work.
Sometimes when you are bored or stressed out,you might feel hungry.It is the body’s way of telling you that you need a change of scene.Go out,take a walk,talk to your dearest friend or simply take some deep breaths.Even after this,if you feel hungry,do eat.
