The 2008 Beijing Olympic Games are walking towards us, taking a big step. Now how to grow up along with Olympic Champions has become a hot topic and the highlight of our concern.
Recently a heated discussion on the topic was held in our class.
We all agree that the Olympic Champions have much in common. They go all out to be excellent----swifter, higher, and stronger. They show respect for everyone, regardless of competitors, judges or the media. Besides, faced with one failure after another, they never give up.
In a word, the Olympic Slogan “One World, One Dream” expresses the voice of our class----share a beautiful earth, share modern civilization and create a better future hand in hand.

请你结合上表,写一篇英语短文,谈谈自己的看法.
In the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games Chinese athlete Liu Xiang dropped out of the race due to his foot injury, which led to a heated discussion among people across the country.
According to a survey conducted by Tencent Website, about 34% of the people think an athlete should quit the race when injured since health is much more important than a gold medal; While nearly 20% of the netizens believe that an injured athlete should hold on to the end instead of giving up halfway. They regard the sport field as a battlefield in which every athlete should fight for the honor of his or her country in spite of any difficulty.
In my opinion, it’s a right choice for Liu Xiang to choose to quit the race. For one thing, nothing is more important than health and sports doesn’t mean sacrificing one’s health for a gold medal; for another, after Liu Xiang recovers fully, he still has many chances to realize his dream.

空间站space station
Shenzhou-7, which was shot up into space on September 25,returned to Earth three days later, having completed its historic mission.
It is the country’s most challenging space mission since 2003.The main mission is to carry out the space walk, known as an extra-vehicular activity, or EVA, which is expected to help China master the technology to create it’s first space station in the next few years. During the traveling, Zhai Zhigang, one of the three astronauts on board Shenzhou-7,stepped out of the capsule and conducted the historic space walk. Most importantly, all along China has relied heavily on homegrown technology. The Shenzhou-7 mission marks a historic breakthrough in China’s manned space program. It represents the comprehensive strength of our nation.
热点19: 感恩教育
近些年,由于各种原因,对父母的孝顺之心,感恩之心,在许多青年学生心中已经大大折扣,甚至越来越淡漠.根据这种现象,谈谈你的看法.
注意:孝心filial duty 打折扣discount
In recent years, because of different reasons, Chinese traditional goodness has been forgotten. For example, in many students’ minds, the idea of filial duty to their parents has been discounted and even lost.
As far as I am concerned, the main reasons is that they lack the sense of thanksgiving to their parents. Besides, they often consider themselves to be number ones, forgetting thanks. They always take their parents’ cultivation, teachers’ teaching and social offering for granted. It is related to the education of our society, family, and school, and traditional goodness is being forgotten and even lost.
Therefore, we should develop an activity, whose theme is “Building harmonious school yard needs thanksgiving education”. It will be very meaningful in building a harmonious society and developing Chinese traditional goodness.

热点21：美国金融危机
美国次贷危机，金融危机已经严重影响到全球的经济，全球的股市更是每况愈下。今天的英语作文是以美国金融危机为题的作文。
Even by the standards of the worst financial crisis for at least a generation, the events of Sunday Spetember14th and the day before were extraordinary. The weekend began with hopes that a deal could be struck, with or without government backing, to save Lehman Brothers, America’s fourth-largest investment bank. It ended with Lehman’s set for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and the bank preparing to wind itself up after those efforts failed. Other vulnerable financial giants scrambled to sell themselves or raise enough capital to stave off a similar fate. Merrill Lynch, the third-biggest investment bank, sold itself to Bank of America (BofA), an erstwhile Lehman suitor, in a $50 billion all-stock deal. American International Group (AIG) brought forward a potentially life-saving overhaul and went cap-in-hand to the Federal Reserve.
（即使以至少一代人所经历的最坏的金融危机的标准来看，上周六及周日（9月14日）的事件仍是非同寻常的。那个周末开始于拯救美国第四大投行雷曼兄弟的交易有望达成，无论有或者没有政府的支持。然而却以雷曼兄弟的所有努力均告失败后，根据美国破产法案第11章申请破产保护而告终。其它脆弱的金融巨头同样努力地将自己卖出或是筹集足够的资金以避免与雷曼相同的命运。第三大投行美林以500亿美元全额换股交易将自己卖给了以前雷曼的收购者–美国银行。美国国际集团（AIG）正在提出一个潜在的挽救重整方案，并且毕恭毕敬地照美联储脸色行事。）
On Sunday night the situation was still fluid, with bankers and regulators working to limit the fallout. They were girding themselves for a dreadful Monday in the markets. Australia’s stockmarket opened sharply lower on Monday (most other Asian bourses were closed). American stock futures were deep in the red too, and the dollar weaker. Spreads on risky credit, already elevated, widened further.
（在周日晚上，形势仍然非常不明朗。银行家们和监管者都在努力减小这次事件的辐射影响。他们准备应付非常糟糕的”黑色星期一”。澳大利亚股市周一大幅低开（其它大多数亚洲股票交易所都停牌了）。美国股指期货下跌非常厉害，同时美元汇率也走低。已经很高的信贷风险的息差变得更高。）

参考词汇：头晕—dizzy(adj.)
I am Li Ming of Senior Three, Guangming Middle School. I am writing to tell you about some symptoms of anxiety among us students before exams.
Most of us feel nervous whenever we’re taking an important exam. Some will feel dizzy or tired, some will suffer from lack of sleep, and some will lose their appetite. In fact, all these symptoms have terrible effects on our exams and we are all eager to get rid of them.
First of all, in my opinion, it’s important for us to have a fight attitude towards exams. They are only a means of checking how we are getting along with our studies, so there is no need to worry too much about the results. Study hard every day and make careful plans for every exam. In this way we can avoid suffering from the pressure of exams.
Besides, enough sleep can make us energetic and enable us to perform well in an exam. Therefore, during the period of exams, we should not stay up too late. We can also try a warm bath or a cup of warm milk before going to bed. They might help us to have a sound sleep.
(We’d better go out for a walk or do some outdoor exercises before and during an exam so that we can keep ourselves relaxed and then concentrate ourselves on exams.)

Dear Mr. Wang,
We’re so pleased that you are willing to share our views.
In the course of the general revision, what we need is solid foundation. As you know, we didn’t learn well enough in the first two years, so please slow down and make sure we have really mastered something. Besides, we need a little more time to think for ourselves. As for those important points which also make us confused, would you please give us more practice in case we forget? Meanwhile, we need your instruction, for example, in how to write in natural English. I still have another request: assign us less homework in order that we can do it more efficiently.
By the way, we often feel frustrated, which has a very bad effect on our study. We would appreciate it if you would give us some encouragement from time to time.

这是一篇提纲式的议论文写作素材，探讨国计民生的社会热点话题：粮食价格上涨。写作时要注意避免逐句翻译，并适当增加细节以使行文连贯。
Hello, everyone,
Now I’ll tell you something about our research project The World Food Crisis on behalf of our group. As you know, food shortages have hit many countries in the world and even caused social unrest in some areas. But who is responsible for the current world food crisis? First, annual world grains output has declined because of climate change. Then lots of farmland has been lost due to the rapid development of industry and urbanization. Besides, faced with the rising energy prices, people have turned to the production of biofuels, which has worsened the severe situation.
Then what should we do to deal with the problem? On one hand, we should focus on the environmental protection and improve the ecology. On the other hand, strict measures should be taken to protect farmland. Of course, to build a harmonious world the developed countries should take their responsibilities to help the poor ones experiencing food shortage.
As for me, I will call on the people around me to live thriftily. And for the moment, I think, we should study hard to develop science and help solve the food shortage in the future.
