请阅读下面文字,并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。

A Chinese boy is reported to have spent about 2 million yuan in studying in New Zealand but failed to get any diploma. He even could not take care of himself and his grandmother had to feed him.

The man in the case is a so-called adult baby, because his deeds make him almost the same as a baby. He cannot take care of himself. He is unable to go to school, let alone finish studies. He even relies on his grandmother to feed him.

However, he burns money faster than any normal student. He spent about 2 million yuan in two years overseas, but could not finish even the preparatory courses. We do not mean to judge his choice, but someone who lacks the basic ability to survive has little chance of success in any modern society.

In a later interview, the mother of the boy was in tears and said she regretted not having taught her son well.She also told the story about how she “educated” her son: meeting all his demands, even the unreasonable ones. When he did not perform well in school, she simply spent money in sending him overseas; she would buy whatever he wanted. That was bad for her and bad for him.

(写作内容)

1. 以约30个单词概括文章大意;

2. 谈谈你如何看待巨婴现象,然后用23个理由或论据支撑你的看法。

(写作要求)

A Chinese boy consumed a large sum of money in two years overseas. What's worse, he couldn't live on himself and didn't get a diploma eventually. The phenomenon sets me thinking. The boy depicted in the passage is not the single case, resulting from several factors. First and foremost, there exist some parents spoiling the young and giving whatever their children want, even though their demands are irrational occasionally. In the second place, some parents focus more on children's academic performances, ignoring the education of survival skills. Last but not least, some young people are self-centered and take it for granted that others serve them. From where I stand, it's high time that we took some measures to cope with this problem. To begin with, parents should strike a balance between discipline and love, letting their children try something themselves. Additionally, the young should establish proper values and communicate more with others. 【解析】 这是一篇应用文写作。 第1步:根据提示可知,要求写一篇议论文; 要求为:1. 以约30个单词概括文章大意;2. 谈谈你如何看待“巨婴”现象,然后用2~3个理由或论据支撑你的看法。 第2步:根据写作要求,确定关键词(组),如: single case个别案例;First and foremost首要的是;irrational不合理的;academic performances学校表现;education of survival skills生存技能教育;Last but not least最后也是最重要的;self-centered自我中心的;take it for granted理所当然;cope with处理;establish proper values树立合适的价值观。 第3步:根据提示及关键词(组)进行遣词造句,注意主谓一致和时态问题。 第4步:连句成文,注意使用恰当的连词进行句子之间的衔接与过渡,书写一定要规范清晰,保持整洁美观的卷面是非常重要的。 本文内容完整,语言规范,语篇连贯,词数适当。另外全文中没有中国式英语的句式,显示了很高的驾驭英语的能力。

Why Should You Be an Intrapreneur at work?

Wikipedia defines intrapreneurship as “the act of behaving like an entrepreneur while working within a large organization.” In my view, intrapreneurs are people who have a strong interest in thinking outside the box, pushing new ideas forward in their companies and speaking their mind.

Taking this road isn’t usually a popular choice. It’s easier to go with the flow, collect your paycheck and call it a day. However, the benefits of being an empowered, vocal (直言不讳的) employee are huge. Becoming an intrapreneur at work can help your career and even the careers of people around you in a variety of ways.

Speaking up when something isn’t going as you think it should - even if it’s just the way a project is being approached - demonstrates confidence and forward thinking. If you’ve never viewed yourself as a leader, this might seem very daunting (使人畏缩的) at first. And many people, women especially, might even feel as though they need permission to make their voice heard. The following quote opened my eyes and shifted my perspective on this many years ago:

“The thing women have yet to learn is nobody gives you power. You just take it.”

-Roseanne Barr     

Even if they disagree with you, your colleagues are more likely to respect you as a professional if you demonstrate assertiveness (自信) and independent thinking. Respect yourself and your own ideas, and others will respect you in turn.

Intrapreneurs understand that their careers are in their own hands. If they’re unhappy at work or don’t like something about their workplace or responsibilities, they don’t complain about it; they take steps to change it. Being active instead of passive about your goals and personal vision will make you happier - with your job and yourself - in the long run.

Vocal employees are more likely to produce a culture where everyone believes they can contribute to a larger conversation about the company and its future. This is the key to producing a truly collaborative (协作的) culture that fosters loyalty.

Intrapreneurs don’t think of an idea and then shelve (搁置) it because “the boss will never go for it.” They push forward and ensure their ideas have a voice. They also think creatively about finding a way to make the idea fit within an existing initiative or program. Without people who’re willing to go to bat for their ideas, nothing new and innovative is likely to happen.

Wouldn’t you rather be that person?

Sometimes just when we need the power of miracles to change our beliefs they materialize in the places we’d least expect. They can come to us as a drastic alteration in our physical reality or as a simple synchronicity in our lives. Sometimes they’re big and can’t be missed Other times they’re so subtle that if we aren’t aware we may miss them altogether. They can come from the lips of a stranger we suddenly and mysteriously encounter at just the right instant. If we listen carefully, we’ll always hear the right wordsat the right time to dazzle us into a realization of something that we may have failed to notice only moments before.

On a cold January afternoon in 1989I was hiking up the trail that leads to the top of Egypt’s Mt. Horeb. I’d spent the day at St. Catherine’s Monastery and wanted to get to the peak by sunset to see the valley below. As I was winding up the narrow pathI’d occasionally see other hikers who were coming down from a day on the mountain. While they would generally pass with simply a nod or a greeting in another languagethere was one man that day who did neither.

I saw him coming from the last switchback on the trail that led to the backside of the mountain. As he got closerI could see that he was dressed differently from the other hikers I’d seen. Rather than the high-tech fabrics and styles that had been the normthis man was wearing traditional Egyptian clothing. He wore a tattered rust-colored galabia and obviously old and thick-soled sandals that were covered in dust. What made his appearance so oddthoughwas that the man didn’t even appear to be Egyptian He was a small-framed Asian man, had very little hairand was wearing roundwire-rimmed glasses.

As we neared one anotherI was the first to speak.“Hello”I saidstopping on the trail for a moment to catch my breath. Not a sound came from the man as he walked closer. I thought that maybe he hadn’t heard me or the wind had carried my voice away from him in another direction. Suddenly he stopped directly in front of me on the high side of the trail looked up from the ground and spoke a single sentence to me in English“Sometimes you don’t know what you have lost until you’ve lost it.”As I took in what I had just heardhe simply stepped around me and continued his descent down the trail.

That moment in my life was a small miracle. The reason is less about what the man said and more about the timing and the context. The year was 1989and the Cold War was drawing to a close. What the man on the trail couldn’t have known is that it was during my Egyptian pilgrimage and specifically during my hike to the top of Moses’s mountainthat I’d set the time aside to make decisions that would affect my career in the defense industrymy friendsmy familyandultimatelymy life.

I had to ask myself what the chances were of an Asian man dressed in an Egyptian galabia coming down from the top of this historic mountain just when I was walking upstopping before meand offering his wisdomseemingly from out of nowhere. My answer to my own question was easy the odds were slim to none In an encounter that lasted less than two minutes on a mountain halfway around the world from my home a total stranger had brought clarity and the hint of a warning regarding the huge changes that I would make within a matter of days. In my way of thinkingthat’s a miracle.

I suspect that we all experience small miracles in our lives every day. Sometimes we have the wisdom and the courage to recognize them for what they are. In the moments when we don’tthat’s okay as well. It seems that our miracles have a way of coming back to us again and again. And each time they dothey become a little less subtle until we can’t possibly miss the message that they bring to our lives

The key is that they’re everywhere and occur every day for different reasons in response to the different needs that we may have in the moment. Our job may be less about questioning the extraordinary things that happen in our daily lives and more about accepting the gifts they bring.

    When the residents of Buenos Aires want to change the pesos they do not trust into the dollars they do, they go to an office that acts as a front for thriving illegal exchange market.

As the couriers carry their bundles of pesos around Buenos Aires, they pass grand buildings like the Teatro Colon, an opera house that opened in 1908, and the Retiro railway station, completed in 1915. In the 43 years leading up to 1914, GDP had grown at an annual rate of 6%, the fastest recorded in the world. In 1914 half of Buenos Aires’s population was foreign-born. Its income per head was 92% of the average of 16 rich economies.

It never got better than this. Its income per head is now 43% of those same 16 rich economies; it trails Chile and Uruguay in its own backyard.

The country’s dramatic decline has long puzzled economists. “If a guy has been hit 700,000 shots it’s hard to work out which one of them killed him,” says Rafael di Tella. But three deep-lying explanations help to throw light on the country’s decline. Firstly, Argentina may have been rich 100 years ago but it was not modern. The second theory stresses the role of trade policy. Thirdly, when it needed to change, Argentina lacked the institutions to create successful policies.

Argentina was rich in 1914 because of commodities; its industrial base was only weakly developed. The landowners who made Argentina rich were not so bothered about educating it: cheap labor was what counted.

Without a good education system, Argentina struggled to create competitive industries. It had benefited from technology in its Belle Epoque period, but Argentina mainly consumed technology from abroad rather than inventing its own.

Argentina had become rich by making a triple bet on agriculture, open market and Britain, its biggest trading partner. If that bet turned sour, it would require a severe adjustment. The First World War delivered the initial blow to trade. Next came the Depression, which crushed the open trading system on which Argentina depended. Dependence on Britain, another country in decline, backfired( ) as Argentina’s favored export market signed preferential deals with Commonwealth countries.

After the Second World War, when the rich world began its slow return to free trade with the negotiation of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade in 1947, Argentina had become a more closed economy. An institution to control foreign trade was created in 1946; the share of trade as a percentage of GDP continued to fall. High food prices meant big profits for farmers but empty stomachs for ordinary Argentines. Open borders increased farmers’ taking but sharpened competition from abroad for domestic industry. Heavy export taxes on crops allow the state to top up its decreasing foreign-exchange reserves; limits on wheat exports create surpluses(过剩) that drive down local prices. But they also dissuade farmers from planting more land, enabling other countries to steal market shares.

1.Grand buildings are mentioned in the second paragraph to show ________.

A.Argentines were talented B.Argentina was once a rich country

C.Argentines miss the past of Argentina D.Argentina has a suitable infrastructure

2.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A.Argentina is richer than Uruguay.

B.Argentina was once attractive to immigrants.

C.Britain is playing a leading role in the development of Argentina.

D.Argentina is not serious about its agriculture and open markets.

3.The underlined sentence in the fourth paragraph implies that ________.

A.the decline of Argentina welcomes an analysis from authorities

B.it is hard to explain the reasons for Argentina’s decline

C.it takes time to explain the reasons for Argentina’s decline

D.Argentina has declined for many reasons

4.What is the root of the problem of Argentina’s trade policy?

A.Argentina depends heavily on foreign technology.

B.Many world events caused Argentina to break down.

C.Argentina failed in adjusting itself appropriately.

D.The conflicts between classes needed to be solved.

    At the age of twelve years, the human body is at its most vigorous. It has yet to reach its full size and strength, and its owner his or her full intelligence; but at this age the likelihood of death is least. Earlier, we were infants and young children, and consequently more vulnerable; later, we shall undergo a progressive loss of our vigor and resistance which, though imperceptible at first, will finally become so steep that we can live no longer, however well we look after ourselves, and however well society, and our doctors, look after us.

This decline in vigor with the passing of time is called ageing. It is one of the most unpleasant discoveries which we all make that we must decline in this way, that if we escape wars, accidents and disease we shall eventually "die of old age", and that this happens at a rate which differs little from person to person, so that there are heavy odds in favor of our dying between the ages of sixty-five and eighty. Some of us will die sooner, a few will live longer—on into a ninth or tenth decade. But the chances are against it, and there is a virtual limit on how long we can hope to remain alive, however lucky and robust we are.

Normal people tend to forget this process unless and until they are reminded of it. We are so familiar with the fact that man ages, that people have for years assumed that the process of losing vigor with time, of becoming more likely to die the older we get, was something self-evident, like the cooling of a hot kettle or the wearing-out of a pair of shoes. They have also assumed that all animals, and probably other organisms such as trees, or even the universe itself, must in the nature of things "wear out".

Most animals we commonly observe do in fact age as we do, if given the chance to live long enough; and mechanical systems like a wound watch, or the sun, do in fact an out of energy in accordance with the second law of thermodynamics (热力学) (whether the whole universe does so is a moot point at present). But these are not analogous to what happens when man ages. A run-down watch is still a watch and can be rewound. An old watch, by contrast, becomes so worn and unreliable that it eventually is not worth mending. But a watch could never repair itself—it does not consist of living parts, only of metal, which wears away by friction. We could,at one time, repair ourselves—well enough, at least, to overcome all but the most instantly fatal illnesses and accidents. Between twelve and eighty years we gradually lose this power; an illness which at twelve would knock us over, at eighty can knock us out, and into our grave. If we could stay as vigorous as we are at twelve, it would take about 700 years for half of us to die, and another 700 for the survivors to be reduced by half again.

1.Which of the following statements is INCORRECT?

A.Our first twelve years represent the peak of human development.

B.People usually are unhappy when reminded of ageing.

C.Normally only a few of us can live to the eighties and nineties.

D.People are usually less likely to die at twelve years old.

2.The word "it" in the last sentence of Paragraph Two refers to          .

A.remaining alive until 65.

B.remaining alive after 80.

C.dying before 65 or after 80.

D.dying between 65 and 80.

3.What do the examples of watch show?

A.Normally people are quite familiar with the ageing process.

B.All animals and other organisms undergo the ageing process.

C.The law of thermodynamics functions in the ageing process.

D.Human's ageing process is different from that of mechanisms.
