　　Ⅲ. 书面表达

　　Many years ago, when I was fresh out of school, I was driving to my parents’ home in Missouri for Christmas. 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 Christmas 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.

　　【参考范文】

　　In this passage, the writer mainly tells us two of his experiences of being helped by strangers. After he wrote them thank-you notes, he realized that saying “thank you” to others meant so much.

　　I have a similar experience. Once when I was about to go home after school, it was raining so heavily that I had to wait for the rain to stop. But after half an hour it was still raining. Seeing this, the guard at the gate offered to lend me his umbrella. I accepted it at once. Thanks to his help, I got home on time without getting wet. The next morning, when I returned the umbrella to the guard, I said thank you to him and left him a note expressing my gratitude sincerely. To my surprise, he said no one had ever written him to say thank you. What’s more, some students who borrowed umbrella from him never returned it. “What you did really means a lot to me. ”said he.

　　From then on, I realized

　　the importance of saying thank you. I never forgot to show my appreciation to anyone who helped me.

　　In my opinion, saying thank you to others is not only easy but also meaningful to the person who says it and the receiver.

　　【语篇随练1. 请以约30个词概括完形填空的主要内容。

　　2. 发表你的看法, 谈谈你对生活选择的认识。

　　After losing her father and sister, the author was very sad. However, she realized the importance of choice and made the right one, that is, she would stay and complete her journey.

　　As we know, we make choices every day in our lives. When you decide whether to complete your homework or hang out with your friends, there is a choice you have to make.

　　Maybe your friend could convince you to drink a bottle of beer or to try some tobacco. You have to decide what to do. What would you do? To follow their steps? Or to keep your way of life and refuse them? Whether you choose to accept them or not, you need to take a careful understanding or preview of the consequence for the action you might take. If you could realize the terrible consequence of tobacco and alcohol use, you could avoid this improper action and achieve a better and brighter life.

　　Please remember the choice you make will influence your way of life. So think about your choice before attempting to do it or you might regret it later.
