【题目】Andrew Carnegie—the King of Steel(钢铁),was born in 1835, in Scotland. In 1848, his family moved to America to look for a better chance for making money. Andrew Carnegie had a few years’ schooling. He worked from an early age.

In the early 1870s, Carnegie built his first steel company with others. Over the next few years, he built his own steel industry in the US, and became one of thewealthiestmen in America.

Carnegie believed that people should win success through hard work, but he also felt strongly that the rich should use their money for the improvement and development of the society. He didn’t agree to always provide help for the poor. He thought it was important to provide educational chances to allow the poor to help themselves.

His more contributions(贡献)to society include the Carnegie Institute of Pittsburgh. It has a library, a museum of fine arts, and a museum of national history. He also built a school of technology that is now part of Carnegie-Mellon University. Other contributions to society are the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace to develop understanding between nations, the Carnegie Institute of Washington to provide money for scientific research, and Carnegie Hall to provide a center for the arts.

Few Americans have been left not touched by Andrew Carnegie’s kindness. His contributions of more than five million dollars built 2,500 libraries in small communities throughout the country and formed the public library system that we all enjoy today.

【题目】How important is music? When they are asked this question, students and parents usually answer that music is nice, but not very important. It is often considered only as entertainment, but not the first choice for education. This opinion is short-sighted. In fact, music education is necessary and important for all students.

Music tells us who we are. Music reflects the creators' thoughts and values, as well as the social environment it came from. For example, just as Mozart's music represents a lifestyle, rock music represents a lifestyle, too. The influence of jazz, which George Gershwin and other musicians introduced into their music, is obviously American because it came from American musical traditions.

Music provides a kind of ability to know the world in a different way. Science explains how the sun rises and sets. Music explores the emotive meanings. We need every possible way to discover and respond to our world because no one way can get it all.

Music is a form of thought, as powerful as science. It is a way we human beings "talk" to each other. Through this "language" we express our feelings, our discoveries, our ideas, our imagination and our hopes so that they can be shared with others. When we do not let our children receive good music education, we take away from them the meanings that music expresses. Science does not tell us what it means to be human. Music does.

So music education is much more important than people generally realize.

【题目】India is known as the land of festivals. Every festival has its own celebration activities and my favourite festival is Diwali (光明节). Every autumn I go to stay with my cousins, so we can celebrate Diwali together.

Diwali is the biggest festival in India and people celebrate it all over the world. It is a magical time for children because of the lights. We light candles and lamps(), called "diyas", in our homes. All the streets, houses and shops are decorated with lights.
