（2017届高三扬州期中考试）
请阅读下面短文，并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。
The first
day of school our professor introduced himself and
challenged
us to get to know someone we didn't
already know. I stood up to look around
when a
gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned around
to find a wrinkled,
little old lady beaming up
at me with a smile that lit up her entire being.
She said, －seven years old.
Can I give you
a hugI laughed and enthusiastically responded,
course
you may.
always dreamed of having a
college education and now I'm getting one.
She
told me. After class we walked to the student
union building and shared
a chocolate milk
shake. We became instant friends. Every day for
the next
three months we would leave class
together and talk nonstop. I was always
amazed
at this machineas she shared her wisdom and
experience with
me.
At the end of the
semester we invited Rose to speak at our football
banquet.
I'll never forget what she taught us.
She was introduced and stepped up
to the
podium.
because we stop playing. You've got to
have a dream. When you lose your
dreams, you
die. We have so many people walking around who are
dead and
don't even know it.
„„
At the
year's end Rose finished the college degree she
had begun all those
years ago. One week after
graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep.
[写作内容]
1、以约30个词概括短文的要点；
2、然后以约120个就“Dream
and effort”这个主题发表看法，并包括如下要
点：
（1）谈谈你对Rose演讲内容的理解和感想。
（2）结合实际谈谈你的梦想、具体困难和圆梦行动。
我的感悟
一、鸡汤类的作文题存在通用性
这篇作文本质上就是写梦想。其实dream和purpose, ideal, goal, amb
ition
是一家的，下次换成谈谈goal，不要说没有写过。我们要做的就是，需要把鸡
汤
类的话题归类，不要做很多无用功。
二、概括类的鸡汤文往往是记叙文，记住就一个公式：某人或某物做了某事。
这篇文章涉及到两个人：Rose, I
Rose在本文做了四件事：87岁继续大学教育；和我分享个人经验和智慧；发表
演讲；去世
我在本文就做了一件事：成为Rose朋友
这样一想就好办了：
Rose
continued her college education at the age of 87.
Rose liked to share her experience and wisdom
with me.
Rose made an inspring speech.
I
make good friends with Rose.
下面要做的就是把它们连在一起，我
一再跟学生强调：概括类的文字务必要简洁，
不要用复杂的句子，也不要用什么修辞。因为概括本身就是
为了让读者一下子明
白文章讲了什么。你要是想体现你的写作才华，就在下面的120词中发挥吧。
Rose, 87 years old, continued collegeeducation
and often shared
experience and wisdom with
me, her close she died soon after
graduation,
her speech impressed everyone.
三、鸡汤类的作文，谈感想就两个：impressive,
moved。谈理解，首先要具体
为：它的功能或重要性。
感想：I am
deeplymoved and impressed by Rose’s speech. She
gave top
priority to the important role our
dreams andeffort play in the daily life.
重要性的思维就鸡汤而言，无非：动力、激情、幸福等。
(1) It is a
source of Motivation, encouragingus to study hard.
(2) It gives us hope and arouses enthusiasm
happiness.
(3) However, without effort, our
dream will be in vain be the castle
in the
air.
需要把三个句子拓展开来：
A dream is something
that you feel happy to hold on to. People with
dreams
love what they do, regardless of
economic rewards,power or celebrity. So
it is
a source of motivation, giving us endless
confidence and
firingarousing our great
enthusiasm. If people lack dreams, they would
never reach full potential. Dreams imply hope,
discipline,courage and
many other qualities.
In many cases, it can open up opportunities for
people. However, dream and effort should go
hand in hand, or dream will
become thecastle
in the air.
有学生一看拓展这么多，傻眼了，他觉得他脑袋想不到这么多，那么请看下面第
四条。
四、鸡汤类的思维关键词存在互补和共存关系。（这就是我在课堂上的最新发
现）
请读者认真看我上面标了下划线的词汇，你会发现幸福、爱、自信、激情、希望、
潜力、勇气、
机遇等本质上差不多。为什么这么说呢？我举例：
有了梦想（dream）,人生就会有希望（hop
e），有了激情（enthusiasm），有了
自信（confidence）等等。
这里面的逻辑应该是很清晰的，不需要我解释，但是，我这样换一下：
有了希
望（hope）,人生就会有梦想（dream），有了激情（enthusiasm），有了
自信（c
onfidence）等等。
有了自信（confidence）,人生就会有梦想（dream），
有了激情（enthusiasm），
希望（hope）等等。
„„
敢情说这些鸡汤词就是一家人啊？有道是：不是一家人，不进一家门。
这对我们的启发就是，
你会了其中的一个话题写作，那么其它的话题都是同理的。
我经常听人说，“自信”有什么好谈的，那是
因为他的思维没有打开。现在你知
道了这个道理：
幸福、爱、自信、激情、希望、潜力、勇气、机遇等必须打包出
售！
老子说
，一生二，二生三，三生万物。这里就是这个道理，譬如：爱生勇气，勇
气生希望，希望生万物„„
五、凡是举例分两种，时间紧张、思维卡壳、想得19分保底，请选第一种：以
自己
为例；否则，以名人为例（前提是你得提前准备）。
（1）以我为例的写法分三层：开始（写困难）、
转机（有了希望）、结局（喜
大普奔）、感慨（鸡汤照应）
开始：I have
dreamed of being a translator since childhood. But
in the
past few years, I have had much trouble
in memorizing new words. It almost
cost me
confidence and enthusiasm.
转机：I decided to
make it a routine to read novels every day.
结局：Practice makes perfect. My efforts paid off
and my dream came true.
总结：I realize that only
with dream and effort can I realize my dream.
（2）别人的例子
说到这里，我不得不说，这些外国名人的名字是必须记住的：Helen
Keller,
Thomas Alva Edison, Columbus, Bill
Gates, Jobs。如果实在记不住他们，记
住中国的张海迪，周总理等。
理由是：H
elenKeller和张海迪可以体现此类鸡汤作文：自信，勇气，梦想，信
心，对待挫折，坚持„„
，总之只要是优秀人性都可以放在他们身上；Columbus
发现了新大陆，体现勇气、梦想„„；B
ill Gates, Jobs体现创新、慈善、执
着、科技达人；周总理的为中华之崛起而读书，体
现了理想、方向、奉献、执着
等。
Helen Keller, without
dreams inspired by her teacher, would not have
“seen” so many things through mere touch, and
hence would not have moved
the world by her
touching story. In the same way, Zhang Haidi,
given her
poor physical condition, would not
have become a well-known writer without
her
ambition to overcome any difficulty. With dreams
encouraging us, we
are moving forward more
eagerly and confidently.
最可取的是下面的句式：
A striking example is Premier Zhou, who
in the youth dreamed of “studying
for a
prosperous and rising China”. It was this dream
that motivated him
to strive to achieve the
liberation of our country.
最后总结：
说起来鸡汤文就这
五句话，但是不要，不要，不要写成模板文，你需要对于鸡汤
文多在平时总结一些好句子，譬如我写本文
的时候就用到：Dreams can be an
enthusiastic love of
life that puts a sparkle in our eyes. Dreams can
smooth the wrinkles from our souls.
