　　阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。

　　When we meet with difficulties in life, we notice that some of us choose to bury heads in the sand.Unfortunately, however, this attitude will do you no good, because if you have no courage to face them, how can you conquer them? Thus, be optimistic, as it can give you confidence and help you see yourself through the hard times.

　　Keeping optimistic, you will be able to realize, in spite of some hardship, there’s always hope waiting for you, which will lead you to the ultimate success.Thomas Edison is optimistic; if not, the light of hope in his heart could not give light to the whole world.Alfred Nobel is optimistic; if not, the explosives and the Nobel Prize would not have come into being.

　　A rose may be beautiful, or may be not.That depends on your attitude only.So does success, and so does life.Difficulties do exist, but if you are optimistic, then they are only episodes(插曲) on your long way to success; there are more bridges than obstacles! The great British poet Shelley’s lines say, “If winter comes, can spring be far behind？”

　　In modern society, more and more people have great pressure in their work.They have to work day and night.Some of them suffer from too much work.And some are even killed by overwork.

　　Which is more important, health or wealth? Some people think that wealth is more important than health.In their opinion, money is everything.“I would rather be the slave of money than the slave of people.” This is what they appreciate most.In order to earn more money, some of them spend most of the time working, running the rest of their life for wealth.

　　As a matter of fact, health is more important than wealth because health is the foundation of wealth.Without health, you can hardly imagine where the wealth comes from.Even if you are wealthy, how can you enjoy your wealth when you have lost your health? In other words, wealth is based on health and wealth serves health.However, we cannot ignore wealth.Without money, we can do nothing.

　　阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。

　　There is a growing debate about the most effective way for students to study. Traditionally studying alone was thought to be the best way to ensure good exam results. When studying alone you can focus your mind better than when you are with others. You also have the freedom to choose what topic to study and when, as you don’t need file agreement of others. Students that prefer to study alone often say that when they study with their classmates they waste a lot of time because the discussion is often about non­study topics such as television or holidays.

　　In the last few years, however, more and more students have started studying in groups. There are several reasons many students prefer this method. First, they find that studying is more fun as they can share the experience with others rather than staying in their rooms. In groups, they can discuss the subject together and when something is not understood they can ask each other questions. They can use the knowledge of their classmates to help improve their own knowledge. Finally by discussing the topic they are able to both understand and remember it better.

　　【写作内容】

　　专限时训练(四十四)

　　(一)One possible version：

　　The passage mainly describes how some Chinese people celebrate western festivals like Christmas, Thanksgiving and Valentine's Day.The writer does not appreciate the way they celebrate them.

　　Nowadays, some Chinese celebrate western festivals in various ways, but are indifferent about Chinese traditional ones.Some even go as far as doing something crazy that has nothing to do with the festivals, as they don't understand the real origin or meaning of them.

　　I am strongly against this kind of behavior.On western festivals, I just send and receive some text messages.After all, as a Chinese, I think we should attack more importance to our traditional festivals.We should celebrate them by doing some traditional activities in order to carry on Chinese culture.

　　As for western festivals, I suggest we shouldn't get excited about them and just send some good wishes to each other or engage in some little activities.

　　(二)One possible version：

　　Keeping optimistic

　　We can know from the passage if we are optimistic we can conquer different kinds of difficulties in life when we meet them, and we will succeed in the end.

　　In my study, I will get discouraged when I fail in an exam.I think I'm hopeless and can't go to my ideal university. Whenever I am in bad mood, my teachers, especially my homeroom teacher, encourage me to be optimistic by saying the proverb “Nothing is difficult if you put your heart into it.” They also tell me to study harder and give me good advice on my study.I'm grateful to them and agree with them.From now on, I'll no longer feel frustrated when I fail in an exam.On the contrary, I will still keep optimistic and study harder because I know failure is the mother of success.As long as I don't lose heart and work hard, I'm sure I'll succeed in the end.

　　(三)One possible version：

　　Health or Wealth?

　　The passage mainly tells us about the relationship between people's health and wealth and discusses which is more important and how to deal with them correctly.

　　Nowadays, quite a lot of people think money is everything, so they work day and night, trying to gain, at the cost of their health, as much money as possible.

　　But what is the use of wealth without health?

　　In my opinion, we should pay more attention to our health because it's the base of our lives.So important is it that we should not ignore it at all.If we're in poor health, how can we work hard for wealth and enjoy wealth?

　　To be healthy, we mean to be both physically and mentally healthy, the latter of which, I believe, is more valuable.In short, life will never come back once we lose it.Therefore, we should try to protect and respect it with our action—try to be healthy.

　　(四)One possible version：

　　The Best Way to Learn

　　The article compares the benefits of studying alone to those of studying in groups. Studying alone allows students to remain focused and avoid interruption, while group study creates a more enjoyable learning environment.　

　　Personally, I prefer to study alone. I find studying alone more challenging and exciting. Each time I come up with an idea after long time thinking, I feel a great sense of achievement. Studying alone also allows me to develop independent thinking which is a very important skill I need as I grow older so that I can solve the problems myself without the help of parents and teachers. Our teachers often encourage us to study in groups. I enjoy my friends' company, but in group study, I find we spend far less time studying and more time playing games and having fun. It is for these reasons that I believe the most effective way to learn new knowledge is

　　studying alone.
