Radio Station Contest

Alexis and Zoe were sitting at the kitchen table doing homework. They were having a hard time concentrating on their assignment because the radio station was playing music from their favourite band, the Shape Shifters.

“I can’t believe the Shifters are going to be playing here and we can’t go!” Alexis mopped.

“I know,” pouted Zoe. “Tickets were sold out in five minutes, and even if we could get some, they are so-o-o expensive!”

Zoe turned the radio up a little louder. Their favourite song was on, and the girls had an impromptu (即兴的) dance party right there in the kitchen. Using a pencil and a banana as microphones, they belted out the lyrics they knew so well.

As it ended, they collapsed into their seats again. The radio disc jockey started talking about the concert. “They are playing in town this weekend, and we’re giving away two tickets to Saturday’s sold-out show, right now! We’re looking for the 5th caller who can correctly answer this question: Who is the oldest member of the Shape Shifters?”

Alexis and Zoe looked at each other. They couldn’t believe how easy the question was. “It’s Georgie!” said Alexis.

“No, it’s Natasha,” answered Zoe. “What do you mean?” asked Alexis. “Everyone knows Georgie is 29, he’s much older than the rest of the band.”

“Yeah, I know he’s the oldest person, but the question was who’s the oldest member of the band. Natasha started the band when she was just 15. The others joined the group after her.”

As they listened, they heard the D.J. taking calls from excited fans. “Caller Number Three, you’re up! Who is the oldest member of the Shape Shifters?” “It’s Georgie,” said the nervous voice through the radio speakers. “Wrong again,” boomed the D.J.. “Nobody seems to know the answer! Next caller!”

Para 1:

Alexis turned to Zoe. “You’re right! It is about who has been in the band the longest! CALL THE STATION NOW!”

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Para 2:

The girls waited, unable to move. The kitchen clocked ticked, stretching out each slow second.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

Para 1: Alexis turned to Zoe. “You’re right! It is about who has been in the band the longest! CALL THE STATION NOW!” The girls scrambled for the phone and Zoe punched in the numbers as fast as her fingers could fly. “It’s ringing!” The girls had their ears pressed to the phone, and held their breath. After what felt like centuries, a familiar voice answered, “Hello, caller!” “Oh my gosh, Hi!” The girls screamed excitedly. The D.J. continued, “Girls, you are lucky caller Number 5. So if you get it right, you’ll win two tickets to Saturday’s sold-out show!” “Okay,” Zoe said breathlessly. “We think people didn’t understand the question. You asked which “member” was the oldest – and that means who has been in the band the longest: that’s Natasha!!” Para 2: The girls waited, unable to move. The kitchen clocked ticked, stretching out each slow second. Were they wrong? Were they going to miss their only chance to see their favourite band? The D.J. sounded serious, “What are your names, ladies?” “I’m Zoe, here with my best friend, Alexis!” “Well…” the D.J. drawled (慢吞吞地说), making the girls tense up with anticipation. “Congratulations, Zoe and Alexis! You’ve won the two tickets!” he shouted. The girls screamed, dropping the telephone crazily. They picked it hurriedly and could hear the announcer chuckling on the other end. “You sound a little excited about it,” he said. “Yes! We are the biggest fans of this band”, answered the girls, hugging each other happily. 【解析】 本篇书面表达是读后续写。通过阅读所给文章可知,Alexis 和Zoe在家里做作业,电台正在播放他们最喜欢的乐队的音乐。他们非常渴望去音乐会,但是买不到票,也太贵了。节目结束后,最后电台的音乐主持人提出问题“谁是乐队中年龄最大的成员?”并且宣布“第五个打进电话并且能正确回答问题的人,那么就能赢得两张周六演出的门票。Alexis认为答案是Georgie,而Zoe认为是Natasha。 续写部分分为两段,第1段开头是:Alexis转向Zoe。“你是对的!这是关于谁在乐队待的时间最长!马上给电台打电话!” 两个女孩抢着打电话。当电台主持人宣布他们是第5个打进电话的人,他们异常兴奋。Zoe回答问题“你问的应该是谁在乐队里待的时间最长,那就是Natasha!” 第2段开头是:女孩们等待着,一动也不敢动。厨房的钟声嘀嗒嘀嗒地转着,每一秒时间都好像在延长。他们多么希望能得到这次看他们最喜欢的乐队演出的机会。终于电台主持人宣布:“祝贺你们!你们赢得了两张票”。女孩们高兴地拥抱在一起。 续写前需要仔细阅读文章,熟悉故事发展的脉络,然后再根据故事情节展开合理的想象。

    As a dropout myself, I often feel it is my duty to defend my fellow non-scholars. Common wisdom would have you believe we are the “bad kids", the future criminals, the worst sort of people. But not all dropouts are likely to deal drugs,steal goods from a shop, or shoot pool all day.

My own favorite place to go when skipping school was always the public library. My early retirement meant that at last I had the time to read everything I wanted to. I found reading Thomas Pynchon's Gravity's Rainbow a lot more interesting than reading about Sir Isaac Newton and the falling apple.

Best of all was the time I finally had to myself. I felt liberated. I had been in school nearly my whole life. I wanted to find out for myself who I was,and until I did,everything else felt like a waste of time.

However, after nearly three years, a series of strange thoughts began to make me anxious and unsure. Images of myself at the age of 35 began to haunt(缠扰)me in my sleep. And a voice in my head began asking over and over,"Who is paying the hot water bills? Who buys the microwave pizza?"The answer, of course, was my poor old parents. Sure,I was having an enjoyable time doing plenty of nothing, discovering myself and all, but that's unfair to them. What parents long to see their child drop out of school,with no plans for the future? Could they be expected to support me forever? Certainly not. I immediately moved out of the house and out of town, in search of a future for myself.

And it is here, in my new home of San Francisco, that I have decided to do what was once unthinkable: go back to school. I plan to take adult education classes and then apply for City College. On the one hand, I can hardly believe I'm doing it: a return to desks, chalkboards, and clocks that tell you when to stop thinking about one thing and start thinking about another. But at City College, I'll be able to take film production, semiotics, and sociology—just because I want to know about them.

So next time you see a dropout, be sympathetic. And please don't push him to do something he doesn't want to do. It never works. He'll come around when he's ready.

1.It is commonly believed that dropouts are_____.

A.bad kids from birth

B.interested in studying drugs

C.very likely to commit crimes

D.responsible for defending non-scholars

2.What did the author find most enjoyable after dropping out of school?

A.Living in comfort with his parents.

B.Reading in the public library.

C.Escaping the pressure from school.

D.Having time for self-discovery.

3.Why did the author move to San Francisco?

A.To fight for his own future.

B.To apply for City College.

C.To break away from his parents.

D.To live up to his parents' expectations.

4.What does the author suggest people do to deal with dropouts?

A.Push them to the limit.

B.Open their hearts to them.

C.Try to be understanding.

D.Encourage them to be friendly.
