Question

第二節(jié)讀寫任務 (共1小題,滿分25分)
閱讀下面的短文，然后按照要求寫一篇150詞左右的英語短文。
There are a lot of things said about opportunity. Some people say it comes along once in a blue moon(罕見). Some people say opportunity only knocks once. So-called “once in a lifetime” opportunities do exist, but some say they only favour those lucky dogs.
All these sayings or ways of thinking seem to leave one powerless. They suggest that opportunity is something that just happens now and then and you have no control over it. What this does is leave us blind to what is out there every single day, and it leaves us too weak to make our own new opportunities.
If you believe in a life where you really can make a dream come true and achieve your goals, you must also believe in the ability to create new opportunities.
OK, so how do you create opportunity？ Well, from my very own experience, I can honestly say that it all about who you are being and what you are thinking.
Notice that whenever you are being negative, such as anxious, angry, critical, resentful（厭世的）, bitter etc., you very rarely, if ever, see the golden opportunities that surround you. And because you don’t see them, you believe they do not exist.
However, you may also notice that when you are being positive, open, loving, relaxed, peaceful, creative, trusting, and all those things we think of as positive, possibilities just seem to open up all around you.

Answer 1

One possible version
The author believes whether opportunities can be found and created depends on one’s attutude and his ways of thinking, and that possibilities will open up all around you if you are positive. (32 words)
I quite agree with the author. Just as a saying goes: Attitude is everything. It’s true that opportunities do exist among us and is also equal to everybody. However, some people are positive and wise enough to seize every opportunity and achieve their goals through hard work while others often turn a blind eye to opportunity and they make no efforts but to complain.
Then how can we seize abd create it?
Firstly, we must be ambitious and set goals in life. If we have dreams or goals, we may actively seek every possible opportunity to realize our dreams. Secondly, we must be well prepared. Only when we have made good preparations can we take advantage of any opportunity when it appears. Thirdly, we must work hard. Only those who are hardworking are likely to create success. Last but not the least, we must never give up. Even if you are not sure whether you will be successful, still you can make a try.
