Question

5．阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英文短文．
Every morning，on his way to work，Mike passed an old man who was always at the same place with a cup in his hand hoping to get a bit of change from those who passed by．For most people，this person was someone to be ignored as if he didn't exist，someone who they didn't want to be bothered with．However，Mike would always say good morning to him and wish him a nice day and sometimes would drop a dollar or two in his cup．This behavior went on for several years until one day before retirement．
He told the man that he would no longer pass by because it was his last day on the job．The man took his hand and shook it warmly saying that he had always looked forward to seeing Mike not because he dropped a few dollars in his cup．He said he would miss him because he was one of the few people who said hello and bid him good day．The man also said that his warm words always brightened his day and helped him to continue．
We all have power of words and we often do not recognize that some can be devastating（毁灭性的） while some can be encouraging．

Answer 1

分析 本题特点是"读写结合"，考查考生阅读理解、要点概括、用英语叙事说理等多方面能力．解答此类试题，除了要注意一般写作规范之外，还要准确理解所给文章的中心思想并准确予以解读和概括．
亮点句型一：Every day Mike said hello and sometimes gave one dollar or two to an old man who was begging for a bit of change． 每天迈克都打招呼，有时给一两美元给一个乞讨的老人．这是一个定语从句，who was begging for a bit of change是定语从句修饰名词man．
亮点句型二：．So depressed did I feel that I did not feel like talking to anyone at all．我感到很沮丧，我根本不想和任何人说话．这是一个倒装句，so depressed 提前句子要做部分倒装．

解答 Every day Mike said hello and sometimes gave one dollar or two to an old man who was begging for a bit of change．His words encouraged the old man to continue his hard life．【简单描述】
   I couldn't agree more with what Mike did for the old man every day．Words have such great power that they can influence people greatly，either devastating or encouraging．Words have magic power over people．A few worm words may brighten a day while just a hurtful sentence may leave a deep scar in a fragile heart．In our daily life，we should pay attention to what we say since it is like a double-edged sword．【个人观点】
     I also experienced the power of words．It was a time when I failed in the first exam at senior high school．（亮点句型一）So depressed did I feel that I did not feel like talking to anyone at all．（亮点句型二）Yet after class my teacher Mr．Wang invited me to his office and said smilingly to me，"I hope you will not be defeated by temporary failure．Pick up your courage and prove that you are the best next time，will you？"All of a sudden，my world was brightened by his inspiring words．It seemed as if a stream of warmth flowed into my heart and instantly I was filled with energy and ambition to fight again．【例证语言的力量】
