【正文】 Several days ago when I went shopping in New York I saw an old woman crossed the street with a heavy bag in her hand. In that moment, the American boy was standing nearby. I thought the boy will help the old lady, and to my surprise, he did nothing. This seemed very strangely to me. Later my roommate explained the boy behavior to me. Americans place emphasis on independence. If the boy offered to help her, the old woman would have felt that she was considered old and weak. What the boy did it allowed her to keep her independence, that was more important to her than the disfort of carrying a heavy load. 第二節(jié)：書面表達(dá)（滿分 25 分） （請?jiān)诖痤}紙上作答，否則無效） 假定你是高二學(xué)生李華，打算在寒假期間去美國紐約參加國際中學(xué)生“和平?友愛”冬令營活動。 We were standing at the top of a church tower. My father had 41 me to this spot in a small town not far from our home. I wondered 42 . “Look down, Elsa,” Father said. I gathered all my 43 and looked down.

If you can?t get to the place where you want to go by one road, try 46 .” Now I understood why I was there. Earlier that day I had 47 my mother to do something about the terrible school lunches. But she 48 because she could not believe the lunches were as 49 as I said. When I turned to Father, he would not help. 50 , he brought me to this high tower to give me a 51 — the value of an open, searching mind. By the time we reached home, I had a 52 . At school the next day, I 53 poured my lunch soup into a bottle and brought it home. Later I talked the cook into serving it to Mother at dinner. 54 went on smoothly. She ate one spoonful and spat (吐 ) it out. Quickly I told her the truth, and Mother said firmly that she would go to my school the next day! In the years that followed I often remembered 55 Father taught me. I began to work as a fashion (時(shí)裝 ) designer two years ago. I was busy getting ready to show my winter fashions. But just 13 days before the show the sewing (縫紉 ) girls all stopped working. I was as 56 as my models. “We?ll never make it,” one of them cried. Accept the failure? 57 use our heads to find another road to my goal? Then a great idea 58 through my mind — why not show the clothes unfinished? Finally our showing turned out to be so 59 that it was a great success. Father?s wise words had 60 me once again, “There is always more than one way to the square.” 41.
