A man once said how useless it was to put advertisements in the newspaper. "Last week," he said, "my umbrella was stolen from a London church. As it was a present, I spent twice its worth in advertising, but didn't get it back."
"How did you write your advertisement?" asked one of the listeners, a merchant.
"Here it is," said the man, taking out of his pocket a slip cut from a newspaper. The other man took it and read, "Lost from the City Church last Sunday evening, a black silk umbrella.. The gentleman who finds it will receive ten shillings on leaving it at No. 10 Broad Street."
"Now," said the merchant, "I often advertise, and find that it pays me well. But the way in which an advertisement is expressed of extreme importance. Let us try for your umbrella again, and if it fails, I'll buy you a new one."
The merchant then took a slip of paper out of his pocket and wrote: "If the man who was seen to take an umbrella from the City Church last Sunday evening doesn't wish to get into trouble, he will return the umbrella to No.10 Broad Street. He is well known."
This appeared in the newspaper, and on the following morning, the man was astonished when he opened the front door. In the doorway lay at least twelve umbrellas of all sizes and colors, and his own was among them. Many of them had notes fastened to them saying that they had been taken by mistake, and begging the loser not to say anything about the matter.

第二节 读写任务（共1小题；满分25分） 阅读下面的短文，然后根据
以下的任务和写作要求，写一篇150词以上的英语短文。

If I were a boy again, I would practise my perseverance（毅力） more often, and never give up a thing because it was hard or inconvenient. If we want light, we must conquer(战胜) darkness. Perseverance can sometimes equal genius（天赋） in its results. If I were a boy again, I would school myself into a habit of attention; I would let nothing come between me and the subject in hand. I would remember that a good skater never tries to skate in two directions at once. The habit of attention would become part of our life if we began early enough. If I were to live my life over again, I would pay more attention to the cultivation（培养）of the memory. I would strengthen that skill by every possible way, and on every possible occasion. It takes a little hard work at first to remember things accurately; But memory soon helps itself, and gives very little trouble. It only needs early cultivation to become a power.

56. Mrs. Green is a nurse in a hospital in London. She has a lovely daughter. She often says to her "Hey, Baby! Look at you, looking at me, looking at you looking at me". She is going to send her daughter to Grade 1 this September and buy a book with 40 pages for her.
57. Joe enjoys reading picture books about animals. He often buys some new ones. Last Saturday he bought a new book. There is such a sentence on the first page: “In a heartwarming twist on the ‘I-can-do-anything-you-can-do-better’ theme, Little Nutbrown Hare goes through a series of declarations regarding the breadth of his love for Big Nutbrown Hare”.
58. Tong Tong is five years and two months old now. His father bought him a story book for his birthday on July 2. Now he is reading “But as the boy grew older he began to want more from the tree, and the tree gave and gave and gave. … ”.
59. Mr. Smith lives in New York City. He has a two-year-old grandson, who likes to listen to some stories about animals and read picture books with a hide-and-seek adventure and lots of pop-up surprises on every page!
60. Susan’s mother bought her a new book today. In this book, there are many good bedtime activities — a reappearing little mouse is particularly pesky. By the end of the little rabbit's goodnight poem, the story has quieted to a whisper, and the drawings have darkened with nightfall. As you turn the last page, you can expect a sleepy smile and at least a yawn or two.
