She went to the holy man and said, “ What magical things do you have to bring my son back to life?” The holy man said to her, “ Go and bring me a mustard(芥菜) seed from a home that has never known sorrow. I will use it to drive the sorrow out of your life.” The woman went off at once in search of that magical mustard seed. She went first to a splendid house, knocked at the door and said, “I am looking for a home that has never known sorrow. Is this such a place?” The family told her, “You’ve certainly come to the wrong place.” And they began to describe all the tragic things that had happened to them. The woman said to herself, “ Who is better able to help these poor, unfortunate(不幸的) people than me, as I have had misfortune of my own?” She stayed to comfort them, and then went on in search of a home that had never known sorrow. But wherever she turned, she found one tale after another of sadness and misfortune. She became so busy helping others to remove sadness that finally she forgot about her own sorrow. 【写作内容】 1. 以约30个词概括以上短文的要点; 2. 然后以约120个词谈谈你对悲伤和快乐的看法，内容包括：(1) 叙述你因帮助他人而忘却悲伤并获得快乐的一次经历;(2) 这次经历给你的启示。【写作要求】 1. 在作文中可以使用自己亲身的经历或虚构的故事，也可以参照阅读材料的内容，但不得直接引用原文中的句子; 2. 标题自定。 英语期中考试答案听力 1-15：ABCAB ABAAC CABAB 16.

After finding that every family had their sadness, she tried to comfort them and eventually forgot about hers. This story reminds me of one of my own experiences. One year ago, I often felt unhappy because of the pressure from my study at school. I didn’t know how to get rid of my sadness. After the earthquake that happened in Sichuan, I was so concerned about the people there that I did what I could to help them, like giving money or writing letters to them. By caring about their lives, I gradually forgot about my own sadness. From the experience, I know that we can replace sorrow with joy by helping others. Since life isn’t all fine, we should find some effective ways to make ourselves happy. More importantly, we should learn to get rid of our sorrow by helping others. (责任编辑：admin) |
