Every candidate me looked so well – prepared and . “Only 1.5 hours. Start,” a supervisor suddenly said. Seeing the “What do most teenagers concern nowadays?” I was nervous and got block. What’s worse, other candidates had begun writing. Moments later, I myself, took a deep breath, and began brainstorming ideas the topic. I quickly wrote down the composition structure, central theme, and necessary elements. As the finishing time was , I tried my best to accelerate my writing. Unfortunately, my failure of time management, I left my composition incomplete. My final draft looked like a robot legs were broken.
The result came out two weeks later. To my surprise, I got the second prize! All my classmates cheered for me. This encouraged me a lot. I was not the first prize winner, I could still the scent of pride and happiness spreading around me.

核心考点
试题【I always remembered the first time I took part in an English composition competi】；主要考察你对
题材分类等知识点的理解。
[详细]举一反三
“How lucky you are to be a doctor…” Anyone who’s a doctor is right out of luck, I thought. Anyone who’s studying medicine should have his head examined.
You may think I want to change my job. Well, at the moment I do. As one of my friends says－even doctors have a few friends－it’s all experience. Experience! I don’t need such experience. I need a warm, comfortable, undisturbed bed of my own. I need it badly. I need all telephones to be thrown down the nearest well, that’s what I need.
All these thoughts fly round my head as I drive my Mini(微型汽车) through the foggy streets of East London at 3:45 a.m. on a December morning. I am a ministering angel in a Mini with a heavy coat and a bag of medicines. As I speed down Lea Bridge in the dark at this horrible morning hour, the heater first blowing hot then cold, my back aching from the car-seat, I do not feel like a ministering angel. I wish I were on the beach in southern France. Call me a bad doctor if you like. Call me what you will. But don’t call me at half past three on a December morning for an ear-ache that you have had for two weeks.
Of course, being a doctor isn’t really all bad. We do have our moments. Once in a while people are ill, once in a while you can help, once in a while you get given a cup of tea and rock-hard cake at two o’clock in the morning－then you worry if you have done everything. But all too often ‘everything’ is a repetitious rule: look, listen, feel, tap, pills, injection, phone, ambulance, away to the next.
And then there is always the cool, warm voice of the girl on the switchboard of the emergency bed service who will get your patient into hospital for you－the pleasant voice that comes to you as you stand in the cold, dark, smelly, dirty telephone box somewhere in a dangerous section of town. Oh, it has its moments, this life does.

小题5:We can conclude that .| A．the author is worried about his patient when he is driving through the foggy streets of East London | | B．the author is annoyed to be called out at such an horrible morning hour for an ear – ache patient | | C．the author is now heading for the beach in Southern France for his holidays | | D．as the author speeds down Lea Bridge in the dark on a December morning, his Mini breaks down half way |

Like any good mother, when Karen found out that another was on the way, she did what she could to help her three-year-old son, Michael, for a new life. They found out that the new baby was going to be a girl, and every day Michael sang to his in Mommy’s tummy.
The days went by. The little girl got after the birth. The doctor told the parents, “There is very hope. Be prepared for the worst.” They had fixed up a special in their home for the new baby, but now they a funeral.
Michael kept begging his parents to let him see his sister. “I want to to her,” he said. If he didn’t see sister now, he might never see her . She dressed him in an oversized suit and marched him into ICU, but the head nurse him as a child and shouted. “Get the kid out of here now! No children are .” The mother rose up strong, and the mild-mannered lady glared steel-eyed into the head nurse’s face. “He is not leaving he sings to his sister!” Karen towed Michael to his sister’s bedside. He gazed at the tiny infant the battle to live, and he began to sing. In the pure voice of a 3-year-old, Michael sang:
“You are my sunshine, my only sunshine. You make me happy when skies are gray....”
Instantly the baby girl . The pulse rate became calm and steady.
“You never know, dear, how much I love you. Please don’t take my away.”
“The other night, dear, as I lay sleeping, I I held you in my arms.....”
Michael’s little sister relaxed.
The medical staff just called it a miracle. Karen called it a miracle of God’s !
NEVER GIVE UP ON THE PEOPLE YOU LOVE. LOVE IS SO POWERFUL.

The Albinas married when Mr. Albina was 30, and they spent the early marriage in Argentina. Then they decided to move to Chile, which meant they had to cross the Andes Mountains. They and their 20s sons made the difficult two-week journey on horses. One night there was a terrible snow storm in the mountains, during which Mrs Albina gave birth to triplets (三胞胎), a boy and two girls.
Mrs Albina now has 30 more girls, including the twins who are 15 months old. The oldest Albina children are in their 30s and 40s. They are on their own now, but 18 of the kids still live with their parents in a two-room house. The house has electricity but no toilet or running water. Clearly, the Albinas don’t have enough money and food for the big family. Why, then, do they continue to have children?
The Albinas do not use birth control because it is against their religion. They can let other people take care of their kids, but Mrs Albina doesn’t allow it. “When we were babies,” she said, “our mother left us at an orphanage and never returned. Then a couple adopted my brothers, and I was left behind. I was heartbroken. I promised that when I became a mother I would never give my children away.”
So the Albina family continues to grow. They have so many kids that they run out of names and have to give some children the same name. There are three Susannas, three Miriams, two Estrellas, and two Soledades.
Will the family stop at 53 kids? Mr Albina is 77, and Mrs Albina is 59. “I am getting old,” she said with a smile, “and I would like God to think of me and consider my age. But if God sends more children to me, yes, there will be more.”
小题1:What is said about the children in the Albinas in the passage?| A．Some children are raised by others. | | B．God sent the children to the Albinas. | | C．The children are all twins or triplets. | | D．Most of the children are independent now. |
小题2: It can be inferred from the passage that______.| A．Mrs Albina experienced a hard childhood | | B．the Albinas would like to use birth control | | C．ten kids in the family share the same name | | D．the Albina family has lived in three countries |
小题3:How old was Mrs Albina when the Albinas got married?小题4:What is the attitude of Mrs. Albina to continuing to have babies?| A．He is very positive. | | B．He doesn’t want to have more. | | C．He hopes God will give them more. | | D．He lets nature take its course. |

When 19－year－old Sophia Giorgi said she was thinking of volunteering to help the Make－A－Wish Foundation (基金会)，nobody understood what she was talking about.But Sophia knew just how important Make－A－Wish could be because this special organization had helped to make a dream come true for one of her best friends .We were interested in finding out more，so we went along to meet Sophia and listen to what she had to say.
Sophia told us that Make－A －Wish is a worldwide organization that started in the United States in 1980.“It"s a charity(慈善机构)that helps children who have got very serious illnesses.Make－A－Wish helps children feel happy even though they are sick, by making their wishes and dreams come true ，” Sophia explained .
We asked Sophia how Make－A－Wish had first started.She said it had all begun with a very sick young boy called Chris ，who had been dreaming for a long time of becoming a policeman .Sophia said lots of people had wanted to find a way to make Chris"s dream come true—so, with everybody"s help, Chris, only seven years old at the time，had been a “policeman” for a day.” When people saw how delighted Chris was when his dream came true, they decided to try and help other sick children too，and that was the beginning of Make－A－Wish，” explained Sophia.
Sophia also told us the Foundation tries to give children and their families a special, happy time.A Make－A－Wish volunteer visits the families and asks the children what they would wish for if they could have anything in the world.Sophia said the volunteers were important because they were the ones who helped to make the wishes come true.
