Betty and I are best friends. Our birthdays are on the same day,so every year we have a birthday party together. But this year,we had a costume party instead.

   While we were writing the invitations,my mum came in and asked, “Why not invite John?” John had been in our class for only a few months,but he was already getting better grades in math than anyone else in class. I wrinkled (皺起) my nose ,“Mum,he wears the same pants to school every day. How could he even afford a costume?” Mum said nothing. The next day,mum gave me an envelope with a shopping certificate (憑證) in it. “I thought it would be nice for you to give this to John ,” Mum said. But how? We didn't want to make John embarrassed. We discussed it for a long time. Finally,Betty and I had a good idea.

   On the day of our party,kids arrived,dressed differently. John arrived,in an old sheet (床單) ,but still in the same brown pants as usual. We danced,ate snacks and played games in groups. Before eating the birthday cake,Betty said in a loud voice ,“Now it is time for the great prize game. It is the following riddle... w It was a math game. None of us was surprised when John came up with the right answer first and walked off with the envelope.

   Everything went on well as we planned. John wore a new pair of pants and a new shirt the next week. He felt happy. So did we.

   When we help others,we need to find a proper way,or we may hurt them in another way.[2013 湖北孝感]

   In a lot of ways life is easier right now than in any other time in history. We have computers,cell phones and many devices and machines that do some of our work for us. In another way,life is more chaotic now. In general,I think we have it easier than our ancestors did.

   We have more tools now than back then. LetJs say I want to make a 2,800 sq ft house today. With all the tools I have,it would take about 6 —8 months,but if you wanted to make one back then,it would take about 1. 5 —2 years. That is why life is easier.

   I think kids’ lives are too easy. They are simply lazy. All they do are text and complain. We’ve all heard the stories that our parents and grandparents would tell of how hard life was when they were young,having to walk to school,having to eat salt-pack food because there were no freezers,having to cover meat in lard in order to keep it from spoiling,having to milk the cow every morning for fresh milk to drink and/or having to travel by mule for days to get to the “market” to buy something they needed.

   Earlier,the kids used to die when common diseases like cholera,jaundice,etc. caught them. Now,we have medicines to treat them. So,modern life has expanded our life span. There are even medicines to treat great diseases,which helps to increase the life span of humans. Earlier people used to destroy the environment without knowing the consequences. But now we know the bad effects of it. So,today's life is much more easier and better.

                       Title: Life now is 1 than before.

   It seems more and more Americans want schools to teach foreign languages to children younger than five years old. The most popular way to teach these young children another language is called immersion (沉浸式語言教學(xué)法) .

   Children in immersion programs hear only the new language in the classroom. The children play games,sing songs and talk to one another in the new language. Some experts (專家) say immersion programs are the most effective (有效的) way for young children to learn a language. But there can be a problem when children in the United States begin to learn another language at such an early age. Not many elementary schools continue to teach a foreign language. Only seven of the fifty states require (要求) schools to teach a foreign language to students between the ages of six and twelve. Language experts say it is easier for younger children to learn a language. Still,American schools generally do not begin to teach foreign languages until secondary schools. By then,students are about thirteen years old.

   American schools face difficult choices about the cost of educational programs. The government has increased support for foreign language study in its education law called No Child Left Behind.

   At the college,the Modern Language Association says more students than ever are studying foreign languages and more languages are being studied now than in the past. Spanish is the most widely (廣泛地) taught in American colleges and universities. French,German,Chinese and Italian are also popular.[2013 廣西貴港]
