wonder Michelle Obama is looking for some relaxing entertainment to get through those four more years. And the First Lady of the United States is turning to British television to get her quick_fix.
It has been reported that Michelle Obama is such a big fan of the hit show Downton Abbey that she turned to ITV bosses to try and get her hands on season three ahead of its official US release date. The Sun reports that the First Lady and the President didn't want to wait until the series returned on US television on January 6. Michelle reportedly contacted ITV to ask to send her a few DVDs with new series, which they did, making sure the couple can cuddle up on the sofa to see the latest developments in between running the country of course.
A source at ITV tells the newspaper, “We'd heard the Obamas liked to watch it but we were very surprised when someone from the First Lady's office got in touch asking for the series. They were very polite and we were more than happy to sort out some DVDs to send over.” However, ITV said they hoped the Obamas could keep a secret and not spoil the big finale for the rest of the overseas fans.
The costume drama is very popular across the world and the audience loves how typically British the show is. But the President is such a fan that he even invited Downton Abbey stars Hugh Bonneville and Elizabeth McGovern — the Earl and Countess of Grantham — to his White House dinner for David Cameron in March.
Meanwhile, British actor Damian Lewis recently revealed that the President is also a big fan of his show Homeland, and had also requested a signed DVD box of the American spy series.

(2017·厦门质检)A recent research shows that the “short sleepers” had been more or less average in their sleep needs until the men were in their teens. But at the age of 15 or so, the men voluntarily began cutting down their nightly sleep time because of pressures from school, work, and other activities. These men tended to view their nightly periods of unconsciousness as interruptions in their daily routines.
In general, these “short sleepers” appeared ambitious, active, energetic, cheerful, and very sure about their career choices. They often held several jobs at once, or worked full
or parttime while going to school. And many of them had a strong urge to appear “normal” or “acceptable” to their family, friends and so on.
When asked to recall their dreams, the “short sleepers” did poorly. More than this, they seemed to prefer not remembering.
In similar situation, their usual way of dealing with psychological problems was to deny that the problem existed, and then to keep busy in the hope that the trouble would go away.
The sleep patterns of the “short sleepers” were similar to, but less extreme than, sleep patterns shown by many mental patients.
The “long sleepers” were quite different indeed. The research shows that these young men had been lengthy sleeps since childhood. They seemed to enjoy their sleep, protected it, and were quite concerned when they were occasionally robbed of their desired 9 hours of nightly bed rest. They tended to recall their dreams much better than did the “short sleepers”.
5.According to the report, ________.
A.many “short sleepers” needed less sleep before they were teenagers
B.many “short sleepers” were forced to reduce their nightly sleep time
C.many “long sleepers” were quite concerned when they slept 9 hours
D.many “long sleepers” had kept their sleeping habits since childhood

6.Many “short sleepers” were likely to hold the view that ________.
A.sleep could make people appear active and cheerful
B.sleep was the least important on their daily routines
C.they were acceptable to all their friends and family
D.they were less extreme than many mental patients
解析:选B 推理判断题。根据文章第一段最后一句“These men tended to view their nightly periods of unconsciousness as interruptions in their daily routines.”可推知,他们将睡眠看成日常生活的障碍,故答案B符合文意。
7.It can be concluded from the third paragraph that ________.
A.“short sleepers” dealt with the psychological trouble themselves
B.“short sleepers” were unwilling to face psychological problems
C.“short sleepers” shortened the sleeping time because of pressures
D.“short sleepers” would rather remember than forget their dreams
解析:选B 细节理解题。根据文章第三段最后一句“In similar situation, their usual way of dealing with psychological problems was to deny that the problem existed ...”可推知,答案B符合文意。
8.What is the purpose of writing this passage?
A.To introduce the result of a recent research.
B.To advise people to sleep for a longer time.

一、审题要明
审题是短文写作的第一步,也是关键的一步。审题,即考生动笔前通过仔细阅读试题,明确题目要求。
1.审汉语要求
考生首先要根据汉语要求,弄清是否要求写事例,是哪方面的事例。在高考中,没有按要求写事例的考生,尽管英语运用能力较强,得分却不高。
2.审英语提示语
从近几年的湖北高考短文写作来看,英语提示语往往呈现“思辨性”特征,因此弄懂提示语所表达的含义对写好短文至关重要。
3.审事例
近几年的湖北高考短文写作题中,均要求考生写事例。考生首先要选那些积极向上、内容健康、有励志和具有启发意义的事例。
4.审人称
所举事例根据要求,可以是本人的事例,也可以是周边人的事例,还可以是来自其他途径的事例。来源不同的事例,其人称也就不同。因此,在写作中要保持人称的一致性,不要因人称错误而造成逻辑混乱。
5.审时态
审时态,即根据所举事例确定事例中的基本时态(一般使用过去时态)。在议论中要用现在时态。考生一定要重视时
态,因为如果时态方面的错误过多,评卷时阅卷老师就会从考生应得的分数中扣除3~5分。另外,由于每一个句子都涉及时态问题,考生容易忽略这个问题,用错时态的情况非常普遍,而句子用错时态就会被扣分,且时态错误属于扣分较严重的错误。
二、分段要清
1.首段要有力
湖北短文写作以“三段式”为主。根据英语提示语,第一段要鲜明表明自己的观点,或营造一种背景;语言要简短有力,这样可以给阅卷人一种强烈印象。
2.中段要清楚
中段为事例,多采用一般过去时,叙述时,注意保持人称上的一致,逻辑顺序要清楚明了。
3.末段要照应
最后一段往往是叙述从事例中得到的启示和教训,这种启示和教训要与英语提示语核心意义保持相照应。
三、事例要典型
事例来源是多渠道的,事例的写作不仅仅是知识的储备,也是学习和生活中个人的感悟。平时多用英语记载一些事例或储备一些经典事例,非常有利于考生在高考中的发挥。
[题目要求]
(2017·湖北高考)请根据以下提示,并结合事例,用英语写一篇短文。
We all know that “sticks and stones may break our bones”, but we should also be aware that words can hurt people, too.
注意:
①无须写标题,不得照抄英语提示语;
②除诗歌外,文体不限;
③文中不得透露个人姓名和学校名称;
④词数不少于120。
1.审题
(1)本文为开放性作文,体裁为记叙文;
(2)人称应用第一人称;
(3)举例部分用一般过去时,发表感想用一般现在时。
2.谋篇
湖北短文写作通常由三个段落构成,以事例为主。
第一段简要介绍主题,本文用了两句话来介绍主题,开门见山,让读者一眼就知道作者要表达什么。
第二段讲述事例,这一段是文章的主体部分。本文用第一人称通过自己的经历深刻体会语言也会伤人。
第三段简短总结,与一、二段相呼应,进一步揭示主题。本文用一句话总结主题,言简意赅。

参考范文:
There is no denying that difficulties arise in the lives of us all.But what really counts is how we deal with the difficulties to succeed.
Three years ago, when I began my senior high school study, I found it extremely difficult to learn English well because so many new words and grammar rules have to be kept in mind.Hard as I might try, I still did poorly in the English exams.It was the hardest time in my life and I nearly lost heart and decided to give up when my mother found my problem. It was she that encouraged me that it took a strong person to deal with tough times and that if I chose to keep on, I would be a strong person and on the way to success.In order to prove myself, I worked even harder than ever.Gradually I began to catch up with the other students in my class.At the end of term I got the highest mark in English.
So if we want to meet the shining sun on the other side of the difficulties, we should first take great courage to overcome them and then enjoy the joy of success.
