30Study the following table carefully and write an essay in which you should:
1. describe the table;
2. interpret the trend;
3. make your comments.
You should write 160~200 words neatly on ANSWER SHEET 2.
指标名称198919972002每万人口医院床位数 (张)22.8 23.5 23.2 每万人口医生数 (人)15.2 16.1 14.7 人均卫生总费用支出 (元)76.7 186.4 442.5 审题包括两个部分，一个是读图画或图表，一个是看提纲。成功的审题就是将两者有机地结合起来，确定文章的最终布局。这道题还是属于图表题中的表格题，比较特殊。表格中共有三个变量，应该看出来有一个变量，即人均卫生总费用支出是大幅增长的，而另两个变量，即每万人口医院床位数和每万人口医生数，是基本未变的。第一段的工作就是描述这两个趋势。第二段中阐释这一趋势，就是要重点突出这一对比。第三段做出评论，对于一种不能令人满意的现状甚至令人担忧的社会问题，大多数时候最好的选择就是写改进或解决问题的办法了。From the table we can see clearly that total medical expenses per capita rose from 76.5 yuan in 1989 to 186.4 yuan in 1997 and then to 442.5 yuan in 2002. In the same period, the number of hospital beds every 10,000 people and the number of doctors every 10,000 people stayed at almost the same level.
This table illustrates clearly the discrepancy between the soaring medical expenses and the unsatisfactory hospital facilities. On the one hand, the money spent on medical care has climbed sharply in the past decade. According to the National Bureau of Statistics, the medical expense has soared to 7.3 percent of the total expenses of urban residents, and 6.0 of that of rural residents in 2003. On the other hand, the limited scale of hospitals cannot meet the needs of our people. It is true that we have more advanced medical instruments, but the numbers of beds and doctors have changed little over the last decade. We all know that timely medical operation is extremely important in many cases, but how can we ensure it without finding a bed first?
To improve the present situation we have a long way to go. In the first place, we have to standardize medical practices, regulate the drug circulation and perfect the medical care system to bring down the medical expenses. In the second place, we should build more firstclass hospitals, expand the scale of present hospitals and turn out more medical talents. If all of these can be accomplished our people will surely receive better medical care and live a happier life. 本文共分三段。第一段两句话，第一句话以常见的句型From the table we can see clearly that开始，描写了人均卫生总费用支出逐年攀升的事实。而第二句以In the same period强势开头，描述了其它两个变量基本不变（stay at almost the same level）的情形，概括性很强。
第二段首句对上面的数字变化进行总结，突出了discrepancy（差异）一词，一方面是高涨（soar）的医疗费用，另一方面是不能令人满意的医院设施，而后分两方面来说。第一方面分两句话，先说医疗费用剧烈攀升。而后举出国家统计局的数字，是医疗费用占城市和农村居民支出的百分比，很有说服力。如果我们没有确凿的数据，就不要这样写，切忌胡编乱造。另一方面的描述共分三句话，先说医院有限的规模无法满足人民的需求。第二句相当于although引导的让步状语从句，但是语气更强一些--我们虽然医疗器械有所改进，但床位数和医生数无甚改观。最后一句话说我们都知道及时的手术很重要，可如果连床位都没有怎能保证手术呢？
第三段写改进的办法。首句是总括句，说我们任重道远，而后分两方面来说。第一方面说采取措施（规范医疗操作、调控药品流通和优化医疗保健体系）来降低医疗费用。第二方面说通过建立更多的一流医院、扩充现有医院的规模和培养更多的医学人才来解决当前的矛盾。最后一句是结语--如果所有这些都能实现，人们一定能接受更好的医疗保健，过上更幸福的生活。 要想写好一篇文章，首先是审题--对图表（图画）和提纲所构成的语境的把握一定要准确。其次是具体到段落，在遣词造句上一定要考究，要多下功夫。平时多积累，多写作是很重要的，因为能够成为考题的潜在主题不超过两百个，很多词、词组与句型出现的几率更要高得多，所以平时的积累和操练至关重要。
31Read the following story carefully and write an essay in which you should:
1. retell the story briefly;
2. interpret the meaning;
3. make your comments.
You should write 160~200 words neatly on ANSWER SHEET 2.
Where are we going?
A boat docked in a tiny Mexican village. An American tourist complimented the Mexican fisherman on the quality of his fish and asked how long it took him to catch them. "Not very long," answered the Mexican.
"But then, why didnt you stay out longer and catch more?" asked the American.
The Mexican explained that his small catch was sufficient to meet his needs and those of his family.
The American asked, "But what do you do with the rest of your time?"
"I sleep late, fish a little, play with my children, and take a siesta with my wife. In the evenings, I go into the village to see my friends, play the guitar, and sing a few songs...I have a full life."
The American interrupted, "I have an MBA from Harvard and I can help you! You should start by fishing longer every day. You can then sell the extra fish you catch. With the extra revenue, you can buy a bigger boat. With the extra money the larger boat will bring, you can buy a second one and a third one and so on until you have an entire fleet of trawlers. Instead of selling your fish to a middle man, you can negotiate directly with the processing plants and maybe even open your own plant. You can then leave this little village and move to Mexico City, Los Angeles, or even New York City! From there you can direct your huge enterprise."
"How long would that take?" asked the Mexican. "Twenty, perhaps twentyfive years," replied the American. "And after that?"
"Afterwards? Thats when it gets really interesting," answered the American, laughing. "When your business gets really big, you can start selling stocks and make millions!"
"Millions? Really? And after that?"
"After that youll be able to retire, live in a tiny village near the coast, sleep late, play with your children, catch a few fish, take a siesta, and spend your evenings enjoying your friends!" 在本书的大作文中，我们不仅为大家提供了图画题和图表题，还提供了一些比较特殊的题目，比如这篇看文章写作。我们这样做，不仅因为国外考试中有类似的形式，更重要的是想拓宽大家的视野，提高大家的应变能力。
该题目先给出了一篇极富哲理的三百余字的短文，而后提出了三点要求，简述该故事；阐释其中含义；给出你的评论。这篇文章可以分成三段来写：第一段是简要地重述该故事；第二段阐释含义并作出评论；最后一段是结语。In the above story, an American tourist wishes to turn a Mexican fisherman into a millionaire so that the latter can enjoy a happy life. The fisherman simply turns him down because he has been living that kind of happy life now.
From this story we gain a deeper insight into the ultimate question of happiness.Do we need to tell others how to be happy? Is getting rich the only way to be a happy person? Does earning a lot of money surely bring an intense feeling of happiness? Happiness is a largely related with individual perception, and there is definitely no need for us to reshape others lives in the name of bringing them happiness. Furthermore, becoming rich does not necessarily bring happiness, if we cannot control ourselves to spend money in the right way. Finally, to travel happily and hopefully is equal to and even better than to arrive. It is not wise at all to sacrifice youth, health or todays happiness just for a bright future in our dreams.
Happiness is a feeling. We go a thousand miles and spend many years to pursue what we actually can grasp today. Around us there are too many people who are busy all day, and those who are smart enough to enjoy life are always few. 这篇文章分为三段。第一段写得非常简洁，很能体现写作者总结概括的能力。该段只有两句话，突出描写了美国人的意图和墨西哥渔民截然相反的态度。
第二段是核心段落。第一句直接点出了该文讨论的主题：幸福。而后三句话连续三个问题，对文中以美国人为代表的一大批人的观点表示质疑。后四句给出回答：第五句说幸福与个人的感觉相关；第六句说变得富有不一定能带来幸福；第七、八句最耐人寻味：快乐地、充满希望地旅行甚至比到达更好，为了梦想中的光明未来而牺牲自己的青春、健康或今天的幸福是不明智的。其中第七句暗引了苏格兰作家Robert Louis Stevenson的名句：To travel hopefully is a better thing than to arrive.
最后一段做结：幸福是一种感觉。我们跨越千里，等待多年所追逐的其实就在身边。匆匆忙忙的人总是太多，能享受生活的人却寥寥无几啊。如果提纲中给出的要求是阐释含义并给出评论，这类文章是比较难写的。这篇文章大家一定要细细琢磨，领悟其中的深刻含义。
