【題目】Many scholarships require that you write an essay in order to be considered for the prize money. However, if you are the sort of person that has a headache whenever you have to complete a writing assignment, this may not be the best news. Luckily for you, there is no reason to fear the scholarship essay. The following tips could help you conquer this not-so-easy aspect of the scholarship application process.

You should always outline your essays. This does not just apply to the scholarship essays, either. An outline helps lend focus to your thoughts and helps you create a picture of the “whole” that the essay will become. Judges cannot stand when your writing is loose, lacks coherence (連貫性) or when you fail to connect your main points together. They want to see that you can support your argument well with clear and brief examples and that these examples do, in fact, relate to the topic at hand.

If you have a choice in the topic you get to write about, always try to select something you are personally interested in. Don’t write what you think the judges want to hear. This will only amount in an essay that reads like someone else’s, which is not a great way to make yourself stand out.

If you feel bored with the topic, then your essay will be boring as well. Make sure your idea follows a clear and a logical path. This means they are connected well and the transitions (過渡) easily flow from one idea to the next. Likewise, try to stay away from the obvious or the sad story. Yes, college will be a life-changing experience, but can you think of an interesting reason why this is so? And yes, it is terrible that you lost a family member at a young age, but what does it have to do with winning this scholarship? Judges can smell sad stories from a mile away, so only pull at the heartstrings if you have a proper reason for doing so.

【1】Why is an outline necessary for writing a scholarship essay?

A. To focus on the details of the essay. B. To think more about the scholarship.

C. To support the arguments very well. D. To make a picture of the whole essay.

【2】What does the author advise on writing a scholarship essay?

Make a plan to learn new words. If you want to improve your vocabulary more quickly, you have to make at least a small promise.
Make you vocabulary practical（實(shí)用的）. For example, learn more of your trade language---- the words that are commonly used in your business or hobby or vocation(職業(yè)). Find better, fresher, clearer words to express what your friends are talking about.
As you read, if you come across a new word that you don't understand. Don't miss it. Take the time to look it up in a dictionary. Write it down and use it later.

【題目】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，選擇最佳答案。
By May, after three months, I had lost22pounds and reached my goal of 115 pounds. My friends would say “Alice, you look great!” or “How did you lose so much weight?” Those compliments made me feel good and confident.
Soon I dropped to110 pounds. A few of my friends told me that I needed to stop dieting, because I was starting to look sick. They brought me a present—— a bag of chocolates, which I later gave to my sister. My mother would come to my room, with tears in her eyes, and have long chats about how harmful this diet was and begged me to stop. My dad would leave worried messages on my cell phone at school, telling me that it would do serious harm to my body.
By mid-June, when school was coming to an end, I was down to an only alive state of 95 pounds. All of a sudden, I knew I had to do something. I guessed the number itself scared me. I recalled my doctor. He told me about a girl who was 95 pounds and was at the risk of dying. I knew I was putting my life at risk, but for what? To make those who love me worried? Was it worthwhile to be thin?
Now I realize that models in magazines, TV and movies are not realistic. The price to pay for the “perfect body” is living with a dangerous and sometimes deadly eating disorder. And there are more important things to think about than how thin you are.
（1）The underlined word “compliments” in Paragraph 1 probably means_____.
A.questions
B.praise
C.understanding
D.experiences
（2）Why did the author's mother come to her room in tears?
A.Because the mother was worried about her daughter's health.
B.Because the mother thought her daughter was brave enough.
C.Because the mother was sorry to have helped her daughter go on a diet.
D.Because the mother was deeply moved by her daughter's friends.
（3）The author decided to stop dieting_______.
A.after her parents persuaded her out of it
B.when her weight dropped to 95 pounds
C.after she reached her goal of losing weight
D.after her friends told her to stop dieting
