Writing practice 1.阅读下面短文，然后按要求写一篇150字左右的文章。In junior high school, one of my classmates, Ethan, was addicted to TV. This boy simply knew everything about such pop shows as Whos the Boss?Then one day Ethans mother made him an offer in order to draw him back to his school subjects. She promised that she would give him $200 if he could go a full month without watching any TV. None of us thought Ethan could do it, but he did quite well. His mom paid him $200. He went out and bought a TV, the biggest he could find.In recent years, hundreds of schools have carried out experiments with paying kid with cash for showing up and getting good grades. All schoolmates admire this trend. But it upsets adults. Teachers say we are rewarding kids for doing what they should be doing of their own will. Psychologists warn that money can actually make kids worse by making the act of learning cheap. The debate has become a typical battle over why our kids are not learning at the rate they should be despite decades of reforms and budget increases.写作内容：1. 用约30字概括以上主要内容；2. 用约120字对以金钱鼓励孩子学习的现象进行讨论，内容包括：1） 你对用金钱鼓励孩子这一现象的看法2） 你的父母或亲人是怎样鼓励你学习的3） 你认为怎样才能更好的鼓励孩子学习写作要求：1.可参照以上材料，但不得引用原文中的句子。2. 不得出现真实的姓名及学校名称（参考范文） What should people really do encourage their kids to concentrate their time and energy on studying lessons and doing well? Peoples opinions differ from each other about this problem.Some schools, teachers and parents give their students or kids money as a stimulating means in order to encourage them to do what they should do effectively. This phenomenon is common in recent years and it is welcomed by most of the young. I dont think it is an effective way. On the contrary it may lead to the opposite result.My parents and family often tell me some encouraging stories in ancient or modern times such as Li Bai, Zhou Enlai and so on. Each time I make a little progress in my study, they always hug me with open arms, and whenever I am confronted with difficulties, my family always stand my side. I feel comfortable and warm in my heart for what they do for me. I make up my mind that Ill live up to my family and my homeland.I think, as a student myself, school and parents should educate their kids through teaching them to study for their family and their motherland rather than giving them money to let them passively do something. Only by building up some noble and long-range aims can they study on their own initiative.Writing practice 2阅读下面的短文及图片，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。 People celebrate Earth Day differently. In Picture 1, a man is trying to put up a banner on a lonely tree surrounded by stumps, but in vain, while Picture 2 shows a couple happily planting trees.What does the message conveyed here? Our earth is suffering severe damage. Should we just pay lip service or take practical measures to protect it?The answer is definitely the latter. Immediate actions should be taken, like stopping cutting down trees, to better the environment.Actions are important in other fields, too. Instead of shouting empty slogans, it is more meaningful to donate books and sports goods to children in need. We should strictly and voluntarily follow traffic rules, stopping at the red light rather than complaining about traffic jams. Only when we match our words with actions can we make a difference in whatever we hope to accomplish.【写作内容】 1. 以约30个词概括短文的要点； 2. 然后以约120个词就 “行动胜于空谈” 的主题发表看法，并包括如下要点：1) 世界地球日的设计意图：提高人们对地球环境的意识； 2) 行动还是空谈？你的看法如何？给出理由并提出一至两个具体的做法； 3) 呼吁人们每天都应以实际行动保护我们的地球。【写作要求】 你可以使用实例或其他论述方法支持你的论点，也可以参照上面材料的内容，但不得直接引用原文中的句子。 【评分标准】概括准确，语言规范，内容合适，篇章连贯。 The message conveys that actions speak louder than words. We should take practical measures to celebrate Earth Day and to better the environment. Earth Day is designed to inspire awareness and appreciation for the Earths environment. How should we celebrate it? Should we just shout empty slogans or take practical measures to protect our earth? I think it should be the latter because “Actions speak louder than words”. We can recycle all the things we do use for the day or find other uses
