第二节 读写任务（共1小题，满分25分）
阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
Once upon a time some tiny frogs held a competition. The first to reach the top of a very high tower would be the winner.
A big crowd gathered around the tower to see the race and cheer them on.
The race began. No one in the crowd really believed that any of the tiny frogs would reach the top of tower. “They will never get to the top! They will never succeed!” someone said.
One by one, the tiny frogs began to collapse (退下).
The crowd kept shouting, “It is too difficult! No frog will make it!”
More tiny frogs got tired and gave up, but one continued climbing, higher and higher. This one wouldn’t give up.
In the end, he was the only one left—the only one to get to the top. The other frogs naturally wanted to know: How did the frog make it？
One frog stepped forward to ask the winner. It turned out:… that the winner was deaf.
He had won because he was able to keep his own mind. He was able to keep trying. He couldn’t hear criticism; neither could he hear praise.
