　　Everyone goes through their lives seeing and experiencing different things. At times, these different situations may cause one to act differently than another would in the same situation. It can be readily stated that Ease does not challenge us; adversity helps us discover who we are. Through literature, one can see how this statement proves to be true.

　　In the play, The Enemy of the People, by Henrik Ibsen, the protagonist, Dr. Stockholm, faced adversity, and through that, was able to discover his true beliefs and who he was. Before Dr. Stockholm was put in a situation where he had to face adversity, he had lived his life with mild ease and regularity. He acted just like everyone else in the town he lived in. Years later, he discovered that the popular bath houses were infected with bacteria. Determined to spread his findings, Dr. Stockholm went to the newspaper and the local governing office to try and make his discovery known. However, both the paper and the government werent as inspired to really let the public know about this serious problem due to the popularity of the bath houses. As a result, Dr. Stockholm was forced to face adversity and find a way to achieve his previously set goal. Through adversity, Stockholm was able to truly see how his personality was. He was able to understand his severe discontent with the government and society as a whole. In essence, Stockholm was able to discover his actual self. This, however, only happened when he was faced with a challenge.

　　The book, Where the Heart is by Billie Letts also used adversity to portray its characters true being. The protagonist, Novalee Nation, was placed in a situation where she had to realize and conquer adversity. Novalee was a young girl of 17, who was pregnant. She had experienced extreme hardship her whole life in the trailer park environment that she had previously resided in. She also received lots of abuse from her boyfriend who impregnated her. In the story, he had left her stranded in a K-Mart all by herself, while she was pregnant. All alone, Novalle had to find a way to keep herself and her baby alive. Along the way, through adversity, Novalle found her true, kind self. She also made countless discoveries through meeting different people. Among those things was her true love for photography and literature, and most of all her yearning for love in her life.

　　In the face of adversity, we all act differently. We each have different ideas and methods that we are accustomed to use for different situations. By acting and making decisions on our own, as we are often times forced to do when given a challenge; we are able to find out who we truly are and what we truly believe in. The characters Dr. Stockholm and Novalee Nation are examples of that kind of people in literature. However, in literature and life, it is all the same. Ease does not challenge us; adversity helps us discover who we are.

　　范文翻译：

　　每个人在人生的旅途中所见识和经历的事情各不相同。有时候，经历的不同会让两个人在同一形势下做出不同反应。可以说，安逸不会考验我们，逆境才能帮助我们发现自我。这句话的正确性可以通过文学作品来证明。

　　在亨利易卜生的戏剧《人民公敌》中，主人公斯多克芒医生遭遇了逆境，并由此发现了他真正的信仰，认清了自己。在斯多克芒医生不得不面对逆境之前，他过着轻松安逸有规律的生活，行为举止正如镇上的其他人一样。几年以后，他发现镇上流行的那些浴场存在细菌感染的问题。怀着将发现公之于众的决心，斯多克芒医生找到资讯报纸和当地管理部门，试图披露他的发现。然而，因为浴场深受欢迎，资讯报纸和当地政府都不愿意让公众真正了解这个严重问题。这就迫使斯多克芒医生面对困难，并找出实现预定目标的方法。通过逆境，斯多克芒才得以认清自己的个性。他看清了自己对政府和社会的严重不满。更重要的是，他发现了真正的自我。而这一点，只有在他被迫面对挑战的时候才能实现。

　　比利莱茨的书作《甜心伊人》同样是通过逆境来刻画角色真性情的。书中的主角诺瓦利内辛不得不正视困难，征服逆境。17岁的年轻女孩诺瓦利已怀有身孕。她原来一直住着拖车式的流动房屋，生活极其艰难。而让她怀孕的男朋友也多次虐待她。故事中，他抛下怀孕的她孤身一人困在沃尔玛。诺瓦拉不得不设法独自养活自己和孩子。一路走来，诺瓦拉通过逆境发现了真实、善良的自己。她结识了种种不同的人，并由此收获颇多。其中，她发现了自己对摄影和文学的真正爱好。最重要的是，她发现了自己对爱的向往。

　　面对逆境时，我们的做法各不相同。对于不同情况，每个人都有自己习惯运用的不同的观念和方法。当面对挑战时，我们不得不独立行动并做出决定;由此，我们才能发现自己的真性格和真信仰。斯多克芒医生和诺瓦利就是这类人在文学作品中的代表。然而，无论在文学还是在生活中，并无不同。安逸并不能考验我们;逆境帮助我们发现自我。

　　三、得分点详解

　　1 effectively and insightfully develops a point of view on the issue and demonstrates outstanding critical thinking, using clearly appropriate examples, reasons, and other evidence to support its position

　　围绕论题有效、深刻地发展一个论点，运用贴切的事例、因果分析和其他证据支持论点，从而展示出色的思辨能力。

　　针对命题你是否认为安逸不会考验我们，我们需要逆境来帮助我们发现自我?，本文表示同意安逸不会考验我们，逆境才能帮助我们发现自我。为了支持论点，作者以两位文学作品的主人公《人民公敌》中的斯多克芒医生和《甜心伊人》中的诺瓦利内辛为例，展示了他们是如何在逆境中发现自我的。在分析事例时，作者对发现自我的抽象概念赋予了具体含义：对于斯多克芒医生，发现自我 是指看清了自己对政府和社会的严重不满，而对于诺瓦利，发现自我则是指发现她对摄影和文学的真正爱好，以及更重要的，她对于爱的渴望 。这种化抽象为具体的写作方法使事例显得更丰满，更深刻，更有说服力。此外，作者在斯多克芒医生的例子中写到：在斯多克芒医生不得不面对逆境之前，他过着轻松安逸有规律的生活，行为举止正如镇上的其他人一样。 以呼应命题的另一观点安逸不能考验我们，展现了思维的全面性。最后作者进一步深化，指出逆境为什么能帮助我们认识自我：面对逆境时，我们的做法各不相同。对于不同情况，每个人都有自己习惯运用的不同的观念和方法。当面对挑战时，我们不得不独立行动并做出决定;由此，我们才能发现自己的真性格和真信仰。 并指出这个道理无论在文学还是在生活中都是同样成立的，辩护了运用文学作品做事例的合理性。

　　整篇文章事例贴切，分析深刻，展现了出色的思辨能力。
