  About a year ago, I went to stay at a Detroit hotel.I didn't want to carry too much money with me, so I asked the desk clerk to put a hundred-dollar bill in the safe for me.

  The next morning, however, the clerk said he knew nothing about my money.I didn't have any proof(证据)that I had given the man the money.There was nothing I could do but go to the nearest lawyer.

  The lawyer advised me to return to the hotel with him and give another hundred-dollar bill to the clerk.This I did.An hour later, I went back to the desk and asked for my money.Because I had the lawyer as an eyewitness to the second hundred-dollar bill, the clerk could not say he knew nothing about it.

  Another hour later, I put the second part of the lawyer's plan into action.This time both the lawyer and I went to the hotel.I asked for the hundred-dollar bill once again, and when the clerk insisted he had already given it to me, I denied(否认)it.The lawyer said to him, “I saw this gentleman give you a hundred dollars.If you don't return it immediately, I'll be forced to call the police.”

  The clerk realized he had been tricked, so he gave me back the first hundred-dollar bill.

  “I don't know how to thank you enough for getting my money back,” I said to the lawyer.And what you suppose he answered?

  He said, “Oh, don't thank me.That will be a hundred dollars, please.”

阅读下面的短文,然后按要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。

What my mother does drives me crazy. She calls me at 10:30 pm every night to make sure I’ve arrived home safely. If I accidentally miss her call, she will keep calling all my friends and roommates until she "tracks me down".

As a 20-year-old lady in Beijing, sometimes I have to ask my friends to be quiet so that I can pick up my mother's phone call, telling her a white lie that I'm already at home.

    Recently I ran into a matchmaking meeting, which is held in a park and specifically designed for single white – collar workers in Beijing. The interesting part is that all of the attendees are single people’s parents, eager to look for a life partner for their children.

One mother told me that her 33-year-old son is busy with his career and has zero time to find a suitable girl for himself. So she goes to the matchmaking every week, trying to find her son a perfect bride.

She guaranteed that her future daughter-in-law doesn't need to worry about anything for she has prepared an apartment and a car for them, and if they can’t find a kindergarten near the apartment she has bought, she will buy them another one. Looking at hundreds of middle – aged parents standing in the cold outdoors in a freezing winter trying to build their children a perfect future, I suddenly understand my mother more.

科目:高中英语 来源:2011年广东惠阳高级中学高二下学期第二次段考英语试题 题型:书面表达

阅读下面的短文,然后按要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。

   Middle and high school days are both fun and busy. Students spend their days in class, listening to the interesting and sometimes boring words of the teacher. They spend the short breaks running, playing, and shouting happily before going back to the classroom again. But how should students spend their free time outside school?

In Western countries, it is common for students to have a part-time job after school and at weekends. Students can earn their own money and learn more about the “real world”. They enjoy the extra independence and money, and parents enjoy the quiet house. However, it seems that, in China, parents worry so much about their children’ studies that they would prefer to see their children spending most of their free time studying and preparing for all those exams.

It is natural for parents to feel that way, but I believe the answer lies in balance. Sometimes, Western school children work long hours after school to make money, and so they become too tired to listen in class or have no time for homework. But Chinese students spend so much time on their studies that all else becomes less important until they want that new MP4 player.

So, find a good and healthy balance! If you have a part-time job, you’ll be happy, and your parents will also be happy because you’re spending your hard-earned money and not theirs!
