阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要.Writing 1 It's a really good idea to visit colleges before you apply because their websites can all start to look and sound the same. Nothing will give you the sense of what it will actually be like to live on a college campus(孩园) like visiting and seeing for yourself the dorms, classrooms and athletic equipment and, of course, the students. It seems a little crazy once senior year hits to find the time to visit college campuses, and it can also be pricey if the schools you are applying to happen to be more than a car ride away. But keep in mind that you are making a decision about the next four years of your life, and do all the research you can to make sure you are making the right one. There's no excuse not to visit the schools in your local area. In fact, a lot of college applications even ask if you have visited campus, and obviously , if you live across the country that won't be as much of a possibility, but if you live nearby, go check it out! lf campus visits aren't going to happen before you apply, at the very least you should find some time between applying and getting your acceptance letters to visit the schools you'd like to attend. It can save you a lot of heartache if you rule out now the things that you don't like about certain campuses, things that you wouldn't know unless you actually visit. Now, if time and money are making it impossible, then check out the online college fairs at CollegeWeekLive. It's a chance to chat online with admissions officers, students, and college counselors(顾问), and it won't cost you a penny! You can register for its online college fair at collegeweeklive. com. While visiting an online college fair can't take the place of an actual campus visit , it can be a very useful tool that along with all your other research will help you make an informed decision about which colleges or universities you'd like to attend. Writing 2 These days our society develops rapidly and forces people to rush. It appears that people have got used to being in a hurry. However, it's beter for people to take their time and live their life at a slower pace than to hurry to get things done. The main reason that convinces us to oppose doing work in a hurry is the possibility of doing wrongs in a rush. When people do their jobs or take action in a hurry , they can't make a sound decision and probably regret later. As the saying goes, haste makes waste. We should think carefully before making a decision and do our work less quickly. We should not make mistakes by doing work hurriedly. Slowing down the pace of life helps people enjoy their life better. For example , taking a train to someplace certainly will take more time than taking a plane. However, taking a train makes people have enough time to get to know a lot of new friends. Besides, it allows people to fully enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way. On the contrary , being in a hurry will make us lose chances of enjoying our lives. Finally, a slower life pace provides better health conditions for us. As is known to all, taking action in a hurry bothers people and raises their stress. People think if they are not in a hury, they will become a loser and that annoys them. But being in a hurry can hurt people both physically and mentally. According to some studies, people who have a slower pace suffer fewer diseases, tend to be happier and live much longer than those whose life is tense even if the former finish jobs more slowly than the latter. In short, working quickly will bring about more material benefits to make our society more advanced. Yet,much stress can't bring enjoyment, friends and health, which are much more important than money and other material advantages. Therefore , take our time and live our life at a slower pace. Writing 3 Advertising plays a major role in the competitive business world. Many industries take advantage of the power of advertising to attract or to win customers away from their competitors. The influence of advertising is so huge that it causes many people to buy things that they don't want in the beginning. Advertising encourages people to buy things they don't want through misleading ideas. Advertising proves to be a successful tool to show the features of products even though some of the products are regarded undesirable such as cigarettes, drugs, alcohol and so on. For example, Dunhill, a cigarette company which sponsors many football teams seems to promote cigarettes to the public. Without the sponsorship , the company will be less known to the public , resulting in fewer sales of cigarettes. Besides that, advertising has a large influence on the decisions made by people in their everyday life. Many businesses use advertising as a form of promotion to create awareness about their products in the market. For example, in the fast food industry, the introduction of a new flavor( 风味) of hamburgers needs advertising to reach the public while the other hamburgers require advertising to increase sales. Children, especially, are easily influenced by advertisements and will have the desire to dine at fast food restaurants after that. Although fast food is bad for health , it has successfully become popular to the pubic through advertising. However, advertising plays a part in helping customers to compare products in terms of price, quality, reliability and so on. Without advertising, it will be very difficult for customers to judge the worth of a product. For example, advertisements delivered by various companies have given customers the opportunity to choose wisely when they are buying items. Without the power of advertising, customers will be stuck to a brand whichmay not offer the best choice. Writing 4 Surfing the Net when you should be finishing a work report, changing clothes when you have a train to catch , or perhaps even lying in bed when you've promised yourself you'll work out. Sound familiar? You are not alone. We all procrastinate(拖延) sometimes, especially when it comes to things we are not really fond of. A study showed that we spend about 218 minutes procrastinating every day, which amounts to 55 days of lost time each year. We might not think these figures particularly worthy of worry, but when we look at the overall impact of procrastination on our lives, it's a different story. Not only does this cause financial loss, it also affects peace of mind. In general, people who continually put things off are unhappier, as well as being less wealthy and healthy. So why do we do it? "When we avoid taking action, were really avoiding pain,"explains psychiatrist (精神科医生) Phil Stutz. For most of us, pain avoidance isn't limited to one situation. It applies to almost anything that's painful. Most of us try our best to stay in a comfort zone. That's why we sacrifice something much more valuable: time. Our time on earth is limited,”Stutz adds. "Every moment is an opportunity we'll never have again. Procrastinators act as if they have all the time in the world. But deep down, they know they're wasting parts of their life. The trouble is, most of them don't know how to free themselves." One way he says to rid procrastination is by overcoming the pain of avoidance using daily visualization (想象).“Picture the pain you're avoiding as a black cloud in front of you,” Stutz says. “Notice how you're tired of the ways this pain has held you back in life, and tell yourself that you're determined to conquer it. Then it's time to get through the cloud and to the other side--where you're free." Experts insist that procrastinators can change their behavior, it takes a lot of self-work but in the end, it's worth the effort. And start today, not tomorrow.

I am sitting in the examination hall among my classmates with a sheet of questions in front of me. The only difference between my classmates and me is that they are all busy filling out their sheets, while I am just sitting, staring at the wall in front of me. My mind silently fights to keep memories as I search for something to start this essay (论文) with—an essay about a man who was taken away from me before I was old enough to say his name.With no words coming to my rescue, I helplessly glance down at the title of the essay: “My Father”.Since I do not have a clear recollection of him, I can only describe him on the basis of what I have heard from my mother and other relatives. They all told me that he was caring, hardworking, a man of his word and did everything to keep his family happy. They stop talking about him as suddenly as he disappeared from our lives. He went to work one day and never returned. My mother ran from hospitals to police stations and even to mortuaries (太平间) but found no trace of him. He was gone as if he never existed.While growing up I could never understand what actually happened to him but there were times when I heard people talking in whispers about how he was taken away by security forces because he was against the state. I do not know how far that is true but what I would like to know is how that is possible? He was an ordinary man working day in and day out to make ends meet and put food on our table. He was least concerned about the state of affairs in Pakistan.I understand that my teachers are probably expecting me to write flowery words about him but how can I be expected to write about a man who never existed? Perhaps, it would be unfair to say he never existed. He still does in my memories. He was a fruit merchant and owned a shop. Every evening he would return from work with dates (枣) or sweets, his hands were never empty. I also remember that he took me to the Koh-e-Murad once; he told me that this was a very sacred (神圣的) place, asking me to fold my hands and ask Allah for whatever I wanted. I remember folding my hands and praying hard for every day to be a happy day.Ever since I have lost him, I have been faced with a deep sense of loss—a feeling which is difficult for me to describe in words. I wish I hadn’t known the truth or that my life was different and normal from that of the other girls sitting around me in this examination hall. This sense gives me heartache and makes me jump from envy (嫉妒) to severe hatred (仇恨). I dislike the girls who are taken by their fathers to school; I hate children who boast about bed time stories read by their fathers. These events constantly remind me of his absence and how different my life is from other girls of my age.Strangely, I am just as hopeful as I am angry. Every knock on the door fills me with expectation; I immediately picture him walking through the door, a box of dates in his hands. Families get together and talk about good times but in my house, when we get together, we all gather in front of the television praying to catch a glimpse of his face. I follow every bit of news that could be connected with his disappearance. I see politicians, social workers and other influential power brokers fighting over the issue of missing persons. But do they know how long and dull our days have become under the heavy burden of this constant hope to hear news about his return? Do they care that I have spent my childhood with my sense that my father actually existed? I don’t think they do. I don’t think that they even understand that when he was taken away, I did not only lose him but I lost my mother as well. My mother, who does nothing all day but sit by the door in wait of his return, may as well have disappeared with my father that fateful day.Most days I wish for his safe return. But when optimism makes me tired out, there are days when I think it would be better if we just found his lifeless body somewhere; so that we could finally stop searching, so that we could finally find peace.55.We can learn from the passage that the author .A.is looking forward to her father’s return B.feels ashamed that her father was lostC.is unsatisfied with the government D.can’t get well with her family members56.The author stared at the wall in front because she .A.had difficulty with her studies B.had too many materials for her essayC.thought of her father seeing the title D.knew nothing about her father57.We can infer from the third paragraph that .A.the author’s father must have diedB.the author’s mother looked for father everywhereC.the author’s father never did anything wrongD.the author’s mother disliked their relatives58.What does the author think of her father?A.He devoted all his energy to his country.
