2.Read the following passage and know more about Mark Twain.
Mark Twain was a great writer from the USA.Born in 1835,he was also a famous speaker who was famous for his sense of humour.Many people liked to listen to him talk because he liked to tell some interesting stories to make people laugh all the time.
One day Mark Twain was going to a small town because of his writing.Before he was going to leave,one of his friends said to him that there were always a lot of mosquitoes(蚊子)in the town and told him that he’d better not go there.Mark Twain waved (摇动)his hand and said,“It doesn’t matter.The mosquitoes are not relatives of mine.I don’t think they will come to visit me.”
After he arrived at the town,Mark Twain stayed in a small hotel near the station.He went into his room,but when he was just about to have a rest,quite a few mosquitoes flew about him.The waiters felt very sorry about that.“I’m very sorry,Mr.Mark Twain.There are too many mosquitoes in our town.” One of them said to him.
Mark Twain,however,made a joke,saying to the waiter,“The mosquitoes are very clever.They know my room number.They didn’t come into the wrong room.” What he said made all the people present laugh heartily.
But that night Mark Twain slept well.Do you know why?That was because all the waiters in the hotel were driving the mosquitoes away for him during the whole night.

Part Ⅱ Writing
参考范文:
Some students think money is everything.They say,“Money makes the mare go.” If they have lots of money,their dreams will come true,such as living a happy life,having a big house to live in,driving luxury vehicles,and so on.In a word,they can do everything they like with money.And they can also get whatever they want.
But I don’t think so.In a way,of course,money is really very important to us all.Without money,we can do nothing and can’t live on.But we must know that money can’t bring us everything.For example,knowledge cannot be bought with money.And one cannot be rich in knowledge unless he works hard.Besides,we can’t buy friendship,either.Moreover,there are still many other things that cannot be bought with money,such as health,life,happiness,love and so on.So we must know clearly that money doesn’t mean everything.Just think,if a person hasn’t these things at all,is his money still useful?Now,do you think money is everything?
