　　Some people are lucky enough to he born with a good sense of direction and even if they have only visited a place once, they will． be able to find it again years later．

　　I am one of those unfortunate people who have poor sense of direction and I may have visited a place time after time but I still get lost on my way there． When I was young I was so shy that I never dared ask complete strangers the way and so I used to wander round in circles and hope that by some chance I would get to the spot I was heading for．

　　I am no longer too shy to ask people for direction, but I often receive replies that puzzle me． Often people do not like to admit that they don’t know their hometown and will insist on telling you the way, even if they do not know it; others, who are anxious to prove that they know their home-town very well, will give you a long list of directions which you can not possibly hope to remember, and still others do not seem to be able to tell between their left and their right and you find in the end that you are going in the opposite direction．

　　If anyone ever asks me the way to somewhere, I always tell them I am a stranger to the town in order to avoid giving them wrong direction but even this can have embarrassing results．

　　Once I was on my way to work when I was stopped by a man who asked me if I would direct him the way to the Sunlight Building． I gave my usual reply, but I had not walked on a few steps when I realized that he had asked for directions to my office building． However, at this point, I decided it was too late to turn back and search for him out of the crowd behind me as I was going to meet with someone at the office and I did not want to keep him waiting．

　　Imagine my embarrassment when my secretary showed in the very man who had asked for directions o my office and his astonishment when he recognized me as the person he had asked．

Last weekend I went to the Summer Palace as usually. At about noon, I was enjoying my reading near a lake while suddenly I hear someone crying for help. I went up to see what was happening. I was shocking to find a little child struggling in the water in the distance while many peoples were standing by without doing anything. Without any hesitation, I had pushed through the crowd as I took off my coat, but jumped into the water quickly. I managed to reach him and carried him back to safety. To his great relief, the kid was saved. I was proud what I had done. I wish everyone could give the hand when someone else is in need.

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。

When I was a teenager, my dad did everything he could to advise me against becoming a brewer(啤酒制造者). He didn’t even want me anywhere near a vat(酿酒用的桶). So I did as he asked. I got good grades and went to Harvard.

In the second year, I began to realize that I’d never done anything but go to school. So, at 24 I decided to drop out (辍学)for some time. Obviously, my parents didn’t think this was a great idea. But I felt strongly that one can’t wait till he is 65 to do what he wants to in life. Having worked for 2 years, I went back to Harvard to continue my study.

After graduation, I got a highly-paid job in Boston. After working there five years, I wondered, “Is this what I want to be doing when I’m 50?” At that time, Americans spent good money on beer in low quality. Why not make good beer for Americans? I thought.

I decided to quit my job to become a brewer. When I told Dad, he was astonished, but in the end he supported me. Six weeks later, at the Great American Beer Festival, my Sam Adams Boston Lager（淡啤酒） won the top prize for American beer. In the end I was destined(注定) to be a brewer. My advice to the young is simple: decide by yourselves not your seniors what you should do for a life when you are young.

When I was growing up, I had an old neighbor named Dr. Gibbs．He didn’t look like any doctor I’d ever known. When Dr. Gibbs wasn’t saving lives, he was planting trees．

The good doctor had some interesting theories concerning planting trees．He believed in “No pains, no gains”．He never watered his new trees, which was beyond many people．Once I asked why．He answered that watering plants spoiled them, and that if you water them, each following tree generation will grow weaker and weaker．So you have to make things tough for them．He talked about how watering trees made for shallow roots, and how trees that weren’t watered had to grow deep roots in search of water．I took him to mean that deep roots were to be treasured．

So he never watered his trees. He’d plant an oak(橡树) and, instead of watering it every morning, he’d beat it with a rolled-up newspaper. Smack! Slap! Pow! I asked him why he did that, and he said it was to get the tree’s attention.

Dr. Gibbs passed away a couple of years after I left home. Every now and again, I walked by his house and looked at the trees that I’d watched him plant some twenty-five years ago. They’re extremely tall, big and strong now. Those trees wake up in the morning and beat their chests and drink their coffee black.

  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。

When I was in college twenty-five years ago, I spent four summers working as a maid in housekeeping at a grand hotel in downtown Chicago. I did not enter the world of housekeeping enthusiastically. I had been hoping to get a job as an office assistant. When that failed, I had no choice but to work as a maid.

It was tiring work, cleaning up to eighteen rooms a day. My poor attitude reflected my disdain(蔑视) for cleaning toilets, changing bed sheets, dusting, and vacuuming eight hours a day for the comfort of total strangers who rarely left a tip. My maid work was just so-so until the day I was assigned to the eighteenth floor.

That was Lorena’s regular floor. The only time another maid set foot on it was on Lorena’s day off. If you left a little rubbish on the floor, a small tissue under the bed, or a pillow uncleaned, Lorena would hunt you down when she returned. She’d ended her lecture to me with, “Take some pride in your work.”

She did. And so did Rosalie, Helen, Annette, Pearlie, Earline, and all the other career maids with more than one hundred years of experience among them. Their commitment to doing a good job and their belief that their work was a reflection of their character stuck with me throughout my professional career. I learned a lot from them those four summers.
