作文

Directions:Study the following picture carefully and write an essay in which you should

1) describe the picture,

2) interpret its meaning, and

3) point out its implications in our life.

范文：

The scene above depicts multiple rows of students in the midst of a graduation ceremony. Their academic caps and gowns signify that they have successfully completed their courses and are preparing to enter into society. The hand in the foreground holds two small screws, implying that such students are the screws that hold society together and ensure it functions properly. 

Such an analogy encourages us to consider our purpose and place in life. While many people harbor grand desires to improve and change their respective communities and countries, not a single unit could stay together without the screws that hold things in place. Success, therefore, depends on the smaller tools, or pieces, that keep structures from tumbling. Just as screws are the small yet essential objects that strengthen and sustain, we should strive to steadily support the society we live and work within. Without our earnest efforts, communities could not be so securely maintained. 

The screws also promote a particular sense of perspective. Human society is vast and seemingly boundless, and it also important to be modest. Regardless of how great one's achievements may be, one is still only a single screw in the large machinery. But if you must be a screw, be a strong and shining one!

译文：

上图描述了在一次毕业典礼上的几排学生。他们的学位帽和学位服证明他们已经成功地完成了学业，正准备踏入社会。前景中有只手高举着两只小螺丝钉，这象征着这些学生也会做为社会的螺丝钉——连结起整个社会并使它正常运转。

这个比喻促使我们思考自己的人生目标和定位。虽然很多人心怀增进民生、改变祖国的宏伟抱负，但如果没有“螺丝钉”来使事物各就其位，那一切将会是一盘散沙。所以，成功依赖于那些稳固住整体结构不动摇的小工具、小零件。螺丝钉虽小，但却是巩固和支撑所不可缺少的，我们也要像它一样努力为我们工作、生活其中的社会提供稳固的支持。没有我们严肃认真的支持，社会就不会正常维持下去。

螺丝钉还赋予我们一种从整体出发来看问题的意识。人类的社会生活是广阔的，仿佛无边无际，所以心怀谦虚是很重要的。无论一个人做出多大的成就，他也只是社会大机器中的一颗螺丝钉，而既然你必须是一颗螺丝钉，那就做一个结实而闪闪发亮的螺丝钉吧!

When Nathan Winograd announced that he was leaving his job as a lawyer in California to run an animal shelter in Tompkins County, New York, his father looked at him for a long minute and then asked, “What do dogs and cats need a lawyer for?”

The move meant giving up eight weeks’ vacation, an office with a view of the San Francisco Bay and a big house among the redwoods, and moving to a rural area know for its harsh winters. But Winograd’s wife, Jennifer, also an animal lover, was all for it. So they packed everything they owned, and with two young children, plus two dogs, and a bunch of cats Winograd had rescued, drove cross—country.

On the second day, they had no room for six more puppies they received. They found an old horse trough, filled it with hay and nestled the animals inside. They placed it next to the front desk, and within a day or two, all six had homes, adopted by people who walked into the shelter and couldn’t resist.

Blind dogs, cats with missing limbs—all find homes. “There is no dog or cat too old, too

ugly or too undesirable not to be adopted by someone,” says Winograd.

Today, Tompkins County is considered the only no-kill county in the United States. Nine out of ten dogs cats that come through the shelter doors are saved. Only animals with incurable injuries or illnesses, and the truly evil, are put down. The national average is half of all dogs and 70 percent of cats, totaling more than four million animals last year alone.

Even though he drives an old car that leaks when it rains, and his family lives on a tight budget while his classmates from Stanford Law earn six-figure salaries, Winograd says he’s doing what he’d always wanted to do when he grew up; run an animal shelter and save all the animals.

As a young district lawyer, he kept his goal in mind, starting when he raised his first animal cruelty case. A man was accused of intentionally setting his brown cat on fire. Winograd made his case, and the abusive owner was sentenced to prison.

It was the first of many such cases, and he raised each with vigor. But the senseless violence, neglect and ignorance never failed to shock him. He decided simply, “I need to get to the other side and start saving these animals.”

Now, Winograd is helping to save thousands, even millions, “I’m convinced that a no kill nation is possible, I’m just here trying to shorten the time until it arrives.”

1.What was his father’s response when Nathan Winograd left his job as a lawyer in California?

A.He was all for it. B.He was strongly against it.

2.How did Winograd successfully save so many animals?

A.Being Rich is Important B.Animals, Our Best Friends

This website is meant for the short story and for those interested in reading light articles.

If you have a “classic” short story you would like added here, please don’t be shy about e-mailing me in this regard as I would be happy to give your favorite story consideration. I have a fairly large collection of short stories; however, if you want to send a story to me, I would appreciated it (this would save me scanning time).

Please note three things about this site. One, some of the biographies are not available( the focus of this site is the story, not the biographies). If they are not in the book from which I am scanning the story, I will not go through my collection looking for a bio. Two, I will be focusing on shorter short stories. No Tolstoi or F. Scott Fitzgerald here (unless you are willing to send me the story ready to go online)! Maybe some day I will want to spend an entire day or two on one story, but not at this time. Three, I have no summaries or analyses, so you needn’t ask. I read short stories often, but only for the enjoyment of doing so. I have very little desire to analyze what I am reading for that deep, hidden meaning.

Fewer and fewer people these days read short stories. This is unfortunate-so few will ever experience the joy that reading such fine work can give. The goal of this site is to give a nice cross section of short stories in the hope that these short stories will excite these people into rediscovering this excellent source of entertainment.

Happy reading! Oh yes, visit the bannered sites on this page. This is how we survive and thus keep this free site on line. If you are familiar with the costs involved with bandwidth, you will understand that a site such as this one requires a lot of bandwidth (as it is visited heavily), which can be quite expensive. So, if you appreciate this collection, go buy something. Thank you!

Never forget where you come from

Many of us remember the touching television advertisement where the actor Iron Eyes Cody sheds a tear over litter. Such Native images are often used to convey the idea of saving mother earth. People who accept this image find it difficult to bring together what they have seen of some reservations—shabby homes, broken cars, underfed dogs, weeds in winds, and coal strip mines. Those who most romanticize American Indians are the quickest to be disappointed and discover that things are not as good as they have once believed. However, Indians’ relationship with the land is much more complicated(复杂的) than those two black and white images which appeared in the television.

Historically, tribal(部落的) people around the globe have had close ties with the earth. Lakota historian Vine Deloria, Jr., tells the story of the Ponca people who were taken from their range over a century ago and transported against their will to Oklahoma. Otherwise healthy, many Ponca wasted and died from no other clear cause than separation from their home. As Cheryl Crazy Bull says in this issue, “The land is our relative. Without land, tribal people lose their identity—the land along with language, spiritual beliefs, and social systems distinguishes tribal people from others.”

To many people in the United States, the Indian reservation is an embarrassment. It represents the American version of racial seperation—a prison without walls where the government confined Indians to keep them apart from other Americans. To Indian people the reservation is home, regardless of what it looks like. They have spiritual, emotional, and family ties. Many of their relatives still live there or are buried there, and their creation stories are centered there.

Americans tend to pull up roots and separate from their birthplace, moving from city to city many times. Many of us non—Indians have never visited the places where our ancestors are buried or the houses where our parents were born. Western nations use Earth in the same way, as if we can go to another planet when the air and water become too dirty. On the other hand, tribes are very familiar with the concept of limited resource. They cannot get another reservation if theirs becomes too polluted.

1.What does the writer mainly intend to state in this passage?

A. American Indians are disappointed with their living environment.

B.American Indians lead a miserable life now.

C.Television advertisements can have an unexpected effect on people.

nd is very important to people, especially tribal people.

2.The author included the story of the Ponca people in this article mainly to state .

A.the close relationship between tribal people and land

B.the poverty of the tribal people

C.the long history of the Ponca people

D.the great changes of the Ponca peoples life

3.Which of the following statements is true according to this passage?

A.Americans can use land as they like and then go to another place.

B.People in the west don’t like to travel from city to city.

C.Tribal people have the same concept of the resources as the non-Indians.

D.The reservations have both positive and negative(负面的)effects on Indian people’s life.

4.What topic does this article focus on?

A.Family life of the Indians.

B.People’s attitude towards land.

C.The history of tribal people.

D.Environmental pollution nowadays.
