I put on the life jacket, got on the motorboat immediately and started my engine as soon as possible.The lake seemed broad and endless. I was so thrilled(激动) to enjoy my trip among themountains and waters that I sped my motorboat. Then, after some time, I found myself in the middle of the endless lake. A sudden fear came around me. I didnt know where I was or even how far I had gone from the shore. What was worse, it began to rain and it became very cold and foggy. I rode everywhere but couldnt find my way back. It was useless for me to cry or shout for help. I was so terrified that I began to think about all kinds of horrible things. After floating on the water helplessly and hopelessly for a long time, suddenly I heard someone calling my name. Soon, a big steamboat sailed to me and they pulled me up to the deck and asked me if I was hurt.

Somehow, the usual paper wasnt special enough for these 64 perfect, sweet-smelling sticks of vivid color. I looked around for a bigger canvas（画布）. If only there were hidden walls. Walls like the ones in Mom and Dads closet.Slipping quietly down the hall to the bedroom, I stood on tiptoe to reach the string for the closet light. Words and images filled my mind faster than my hands could make them.A brilliant rainbow was seen on one wall, with a cheery golden sun peeking out from above.Below, a giant shade tree supported a swing for stick-figure children. Around them, flowers bloomed everywhere.My masterpiece! All my very own magic! I took in the walls, the colors and the brightness. Joy swelled inside me. But as my creativity wound down, a thought popped up: Ive got to show Mom! Suddenly I was still.Mom called out, “Dinners ready.”After a short time, her footsteps approached, and then finally, the closet door opened. I stood nervously in the corner.Mom breathed in sharply, then stood frozen. Only her eyes moved as she slowly looked over my masterpiece. She was quiet for a long, long time. I didnt dare breathe.Finally, she turned to me.“I like it,” she said. “No, I love it! I feel like I have a new closet!”Now, 45 years later, my childhood artwork is still there. And in my own house, the closet walls are masterpieces, too, created by my own daughters when they were little girls.Every time I open a closet door, I remember that, as big as that box of crayons and white walls seemed when I was little, my mothers love was the biggest thing of all.【范文 1】One day when I was little, I created a beautiful picture on the walls in parents closet. Although satisfied with it, I couldnt imagine moms reaction. Instead of criticizing me for ruining the closet, mom thought highly of my artwork. Now I understand how much she loves me and I do the same to my children to develop their creativity.A great many people are often willing to sacrifice higher to pay for the privilege of becoming white collar workers. This can give rise to curious situations, as it did in the case of Alfred Bloggs who worked as a dustman for the Ellesmere Corporation.When he got married, Alf was too embarrassed to say anything to his wife about his job. He simply told her that he worked for the Corporation. Every morning, he left home dressed in a smart black suit. He then changed into overalls (n. 工 作 服 ) and spent the next eight hours as a dustman. Before returning home at night, he took a shower and changed back into his suit. Alf did this for over two years and his fellow dustmen kept his secret. Alfs wife has never discovered that she married a dustman and shenever will, for Alf has just found another job. He will soon be working in an office as a junior clerk. He will be earning only half as much as he used to, but he feels that his rise in status is well worth the loss of money. From now on, he will wear a suit all day and others will call him Mr. Bloggs, not Alf.答案Many people prefer to give up higher pay to become white collar workers ,which may cause some curious situation like the dustman,Alfred Bloggs . When he got married, he lied to his wife saying he worked for a Corporation .He dressed in a suit every morning, and changed into overalls at work .At night he changed back into suit before going home .He wont be found outbecause he will be an office worker in future.专题限时集训(四)概要写作训练 2 A阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇 60 词左右的内容概要。Peter loved to shop used articles.Almost a month ago，he bought a popular word game that used little pieces of wood with different letters on them.As he was purchasing it，the salesgirl said，“Oh，look，the game box hasnt even been opened yet.That might be worth some money.”Peter examined the box and，sure enough，it was completely covered in factory-sealed plastic.And he saw a date of 1973 on the back of the box.“You should put that up for auction(拍卖) on the Internet，and see what happens，” the salesgirl said.“Yes，youre right.People like something rare，”Peter agreed.“I cant imagine there being very many unopened boxes of this game still around 40 years later.”“Dont forget to tell me if you sell it，” the salesgirl smiled. “No problem，” Peter said.After he got home，Peter went online to several auction websites looking for his game.But he couldnt find it.Then he typed in the name of the word game and hit search.The search result was 543 websites containing information about the changes of the game.Over the years，the game had been produced using letters in different sizes and game boards in different colors.He also found some lists of game fans looking for various versions of the game.Peter emailed some of them，telling them what he had.Two weeks later，Peter went back to the shop.“Hello.Do you still remember the unopened word game？” The salesgirl looked at him for a second，then recognized him and said，“Oh，hi！”“Ive got something for you，” Peter said.“I sold the game and made $1，000.Thank you for your suggestion.” He handed her three $100 bills.“Wow！” the salesgirl cried out.“Thank you.I never expected it.”【写作指导】通读所给文章可知，本文属于记叙文。首先要点一应表明主 人公 Peter 一个月前买到了一款稀有的文字游戏；要点二要交代在售货员的建议下，Peter 将此款文字游戏挂到网上拍卖； 要点三讲的是故事的结果：文字游戏卖了 1 000 美元，Peter拿出 300 美元给售货员作为答谢。由于本篇短文为记叙文， 只需按照故事的情节发展进行写作即可。写作时要把握好要点，全面准确地呈现短文内容，并注意语法结构和词汇的准确性。【参考范文】One month ago，Peter bought a word game and found it was made about 40 years ago and hadnt been opened yet，which means it was rare and valuable.(要点 1) He followed thesalesgirls suggestion and put it for auction on the Internet.(要点2) The word game was sold at $1，000 and Peter gave the salesgirl $300 in return.(要点 3)
