三、阅读：

It was a quiet village in which there was a military camp. It was far from the towns and cities and there were some high mountains around. Of course it was a good place for training the new soldiers. But it was difficult for the young men to go outside. Mr. White, an officer of forty, was strict with them and he hardly let them leave the camp.

Once Mr. White was ill in bed. He couldn’t work and a young officer, Mr. Hunt, began to train the new soldiers instead of him. He knew the young men well and let nine soldiers go to the nearest town to have a holiday. But night fell and none came back to the camp. He was worried about it and stood at the gate. It was five to twelve when Mr. Hunt decided to go to the town and see what was happening with the young men. He started the car quickly and set off. At that moment the nine soldiers came back. It seemed they were all drunk. Of course they found the officer was angry.

“I’m sorry, sir,” said the first soldier. “I left the town on time. But something was wrong with my bus on my way here. I had to buy a horse and made it run fast. Bad luck! It died and I had to run back.”

And the other seven soldiers said they were late for the same reasons. It was the last soldier’s turn. He said, “I’m sorry, sir. I got on a bus on time, but…”

Having heard this, the officer became even angrier and stopped him at once. He called out, “If you say something was wrong with your bus, I’ll punish you at once!”

“No, no, sir,” said the young man. “My bus was all right, but the dead horses were in its way!”

Burning Rubbish Is Harmful to People

A few days ago, I went to the railway station to see my friend off. On the way I saw street leaners burning garbage, and I know they were trying to get rid of rubbish in a way they thought was“Taking a shortcut.” I don’t think, however, it’s proper to clear away rubbish by such a means.

It’s known to all that burning rubbish does harm to people, which will give off poisonous smoke and dust polluting the air in turn. Many people contract cancer as a result of breathing the polluted air. Some of them even die of it.

There are many things in rubbish that can be rotten decomposed, such as dry leaves, leftover food, etc. They can make very good fertilizer. So it’s better to collect them for cropland.

 

五、任务写作：

 

阅读下面的短文，然后按要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。

   An English proverb goes like this , “ Spare the rod and spoil the child .” It implies that in order to enable a child to grow healthily , parents must make him eat bitter foods, do hard work and be sent to places where he can get the fullest training and knowledge.

  First of all, eating bitter foods is necessary for a child. Poor food can help cultivate in him the frugal (节俭的 ) habit and make him realize what we eat daily is the fruit of the sweat of the laboring people. Consequently, he will not be wasteful when he grows up. Secondly, parents should also make the child do hard work. Doing hard work will give him an opportunity to taste the bitterness of labor. Moreover, hard work may also enable him to cherish the fruit of other’s labor. Finally, children should be sent to somewhere where life is hard if possible. Human society is full of tests and trials. Flowers from a greenhouse can never withstand a storm. Therefore, children should be allowed to face the world and brave the storm. It is in difficult conditions that young people can get the most training and learn how to solve the problems in various circumstances.

【参考答案】

We know sometimes difficult conditions can really make a man, so parents should let their children eat bitter foods, do hard work and experience a hard life.

    I grew up in an ordinary family, which is not so well off. I could understand the hardships my parents were bearing at that time. Therefore, I work very hard now in the hope of entering the university and change the situation of my family and me.

I think that in a certain sense, difficult situations can stimulate a person’s potential and pave the way for him to success. One can be strong, brave and faithful after all these hardships he has gone through. All in all, as far as I am concerned, I think that flowers from a greenhouse can never withstand a storm and that a hard life is good for children.
