To account for the above-mentioned phenomenon, several reasons have been put forward. To begin with, the first stess-maker is competition.

　　Nowadays may people, who have a strong career-mind are involved in a fierce competion for money, ranks,and fame. In the rat race, they try every means to stay on the top and keep on working until they can hardly breathe.In addition, the reason why they are suffering a great pain is that they have such a great ambition to succeed and want to accomplish their goals in the shortest possible time. Just because of their ambitionw, they put great great pressures on themselves and have no time for relaxation to enjoy themselves.No better illustration of this idea can be thought than the example mentioned below . According to a survey made by China Daily, 63.93% of young people who have once tasted the stress are becoming physically or mentally ill. If we cannot take useful means, we may not control this trend, and some undesirable results may come out unexpectedly, we will see the gloomy future of our heritage left by our ancesters.

　　最后一段要强调解决问题，谈的两点建议通常是提高人们的意识，加强执法；

　　From what have been discussed above, it is therefore, necessary that some effective measures are taken to prevent the stress damaging the the health of most people. On the one hand, we should be sensible to develop a positive attitude towards competition. That is, competition is not the ultimate goal of life, but a driving force that motivates us to fulfill our dreams On the other hand, it is demanding for us to keep people aware of the importance of developing a schedule which includes enough time for rest and other important values. However, it is easier said than done. Practice is the most important factor. Only when you attention to it can you see a colorful and harmonious future better sooner or later

    A.Study the following picture carefully and write an essay in no less than 200 words.　　

    B.Your essay must be written clearly on ANSWER SHEET 2.

    C.Your essay should meet the requirements below:

    1)describe the set of pictures, interpret its meaning

    2)and point out the implications in our life　　

    参考范文：The set of pictures present in front of us a sharp contrast between two different kinds of attitudes people hold in the face of stressful events. The former type is always staying away from some misfortunes or crises, trying to desperately “fly” when confronted with difficulties, but individuals of the latter type optimistically “fight” against such events, sure that they will be in control of their own destiny. Indeed, we should act on the values of optimism.　　The pessimist invariably takes a passive “fight” in the face of adversities. He feels like fate’s plaything and moves slowly. He doesn’t seek advice, assuming that nothing can be done when he is in difficulty or in distress. Any studies suggest that the pessimist’s feeling of helplessness undermines the body’s natural defenses, the immune system. Feeling passive and unable to dodge life’s blows, he expects ill health and other misfortunes, no matter what he does.　　On the contrary, optimists will feel in control of their own life. If something is going wrong, an optimist acts quickly, reaching out for advice, forming a new plan of action, and looking for solutions. He will think that he is much better than the facts would justify-and more often than not, that is what keeps him alive and active, as evidenced in many successful medical treatments. He actually recognizes that stress is nothing but a natural part of his routine life. Sure enough, what determines our choice between “flying” or “fighting” will be our attitudes towards life, not the stress itself.　　If we hold an optimistic attitude, we can change our life for the better. Very few can come through distressful periods with more physical and mental vigor than they had before. We should also know that a long time with no “fighting” except “flying” can lead to boredom, and even worse, to physical and mental strain. (about 300 words)

　　大作文之二

　　幸福是什么

　　Directions:

　　Look at the following picture and write an article on advertisement. Your article should cover the points below:

　　Study the following picture carefully and write an essay to

　　(1) describe the picture

　　(2) interpret its meaning, and

　　(3) give your suggestion as to the best way to find happiness.

　　参考范文：

　　As is vividly depicted in the cartoon, a boy is contemplating the true meaning of true meaning of happiness. It is indeed a tough question for him: what on earth is happiness? He is puzzled as to in which circumstance he will feel happy—when he makes money, or wins true love, or is in good health, or what?

　　It is obvious that happiness is difficult to define. We all know people who have a relatively easy and comfortable life, and yet are essentially unhappy. And we may also have friends who have suffered a great deal but generally remain happy. Therefore, happiness is actually of one’s own making. If you have a positive attitude and are determined to find the little happiness of life, you are destined to be jolly, no matter what kind of situation you are in.

　　Happiness is an attitude, not a condition. It lies in the struggle to be happy. People sometimes go to extremes and frantically pursue money, power, high social status, etc., which are all symbols of success—but never of happiness. Perhaps if they shifted their goal from ultimate success to unswerving efforts and to confidence that they will be successful one day, they’d be a great deal happier.

　　三. 贫富和谐

　　Type A

　　1) Show your understanding of the symbolic meaning of the pictures below(描述点题段).

　　2) Give a specific example, and. (举例说明段)

　　3) Give your suggestion as to the best way to overcome it (前瞻感言段)

　　As we can see from the picture, a weary-looking woman, with her little sleeping son clung to her back, is cleaning and polishing shoes for a well-dressed lady. The dressy lady is also with his son, a boy, high-flying, fashionably-dressed, apparently from a well-to-do family. The picture is heart-rending-- a dramatic view of the widening gap between rich and poor in our nation.

　　Although a lot of efforts have been put into bridging the gap, the situation is far from optimistic. Take the uneven development of our nation for example. On one side of the picture, some people in the developed areas of country are enjoying almost everything that modern civilization can offer---- luxury cars, expensive houses and other devices for comfortable life. The other side of the picture is that in some underdeveloped areas, a lot of people are still living in sheer poverty. They do not have the minimal means of living, even no money for the education of the young. Looking at all these, how can we stay aloof and easy?

　　Our nation is building up a harmonious society. If we don’t do something to harmonize the situation by achieving common welfare for all the people, how can we accomplish that noble goal? As a famous man put it, “If we can not help the many who are poor, then we can not save the few who are rich.” Effective measures need to be taken to help the poor so that we can work towards a harmonious nation where the rich is just and the poor secure.
