新闻报道
本单元的写作任务是写一篇新闻报道。新闻一般报道新发生的、重要的、有意义的、能引起广泛兴趣的事情,具有迅速、明了、简短的特点。
(一)新闻报道的主体结构:
标题(headline):标题一般浓缩概括全文的中心主题,要简洁、生动、具有概括性。
导语(lead or introduction):导语是新闻的开头,通常为文章的第1段,要求用极简明的文字概括新闻的主要内容。
正文(body):在导语的基础上,引入更多与主题相关的信息,使之更加翔实、具体,并展开评论,进而得出结论。
(二)新闻报道写作的语言特点:
1.具体。新闻用事实说话,五个W和一个H (when、where、who、what、why和how)是构成一则完整消息不可缺少的要素,这就需要记叙具体的时间,地点,人物,事件的起因、经过、结果等。
2.准确。新闻语言不能含糊不清、模棱两可,也不能夸大或缩小事实。
3.简练。新闻语言要简明扼要、直截了当。

Loving Parcels for Students in Need
Last week witnessed our “Loving Parcels” donation activity at our school. Aimed at helping the students in the remote areas, this activity was well received in the whole school.
All of the teachers and students took an active part in the activity. The activity provided a platform for all the students to donate their clothes, books and schoolbags to the students in need. Most impressively, they also wrote down the best wishes on cards, which would be collected and delivered to the schools in the remote areas.
With the students' active participation and teachers' enthusiastic support, the donation was undoubtedly a success.

美篇呈现
The Wizard of Oz(Excerpt)
Dorothy lived in the midst of the great Kansas prairies, with Uncle Henry, who was a farmer, and Aunt Em, who was the farmer's wife. Their house was small, for the lumber① to build it had to be carried by wagon many miles. There were four walls, a floor and a roof, which made one room; this room contained a rusty② looking cookstove, a cupboard for the dishes, a table, three or four chairs, and the beds. Uncle Henry and Aunt Em had a big bed in one corner, and Dorothy a little bed in another corner.
There was no garret at all, and no cellar—except a small hole dug in the ground, called a cyclone cellar, where the family could go in case one of those great whirlwinds③ arose, mighty enough to crush any building in its path. It was reached by a trap door in the middle of the floor, from which a ladder led down into the small, dark hole.
When Dorothy stood in the doorway and looked around, she could see nothing but the great gray prairie on every side. Not a tree nor a house broke the broad sweep of flat country that reached the edge of the sky in all directions④.
The sun had baked the plowed land into a gray mass, with little cracks running through it. Even the grass was not green, for the sun had burned the tops of the long blades until they were the same gray color to be seen everywhere. Once the house had been painted, but the sun blistered the paint and the rains washed it away, and now the house was as dull and gray as everything else.
When Aunt Em came there to live she was a young, pretty wife. The sun and wind had changed her, too. They had taken the sparkle⑤ from her eyes and left them a sober gray; they had taken the red from her cheeks and lips, and they were also gray. She was thin and gaunt, and never smiled now.
When Dorothy, who was an orphan, first came to her, Aunt Em had been so startled⑥ by the child's laughter that she would scream and press her hand upon her heart whenever Dorothy's merry voice reached her ears; she still looked at the little girl with wonder that she could find anything to laugh at.
Uncle Henry never laughed. He worked hard from morning till night and did not know what joy was. He was gray also, from his long beard to his rough boots, and he looked stern and solemn⑦, and rarely spoke.
It was Toto that made Dorothy laugh, and saved her from growing as gray as her other surroundings. Toto was not gray; he was a little black dog, with long silky hair and small black eyes that twinkled⑧ merrily on either side of his funny, wee nose. Toto played all day long, and Dorothy played with him, and loved him dearly.
Today, however, they were not playing. Uncle Henry sat upon the doorstep and looked anxiously at the sky, which was even grayer than usual. Dorothy stood at the door with Toto in her arms, and looked at the sky too. Aunt Em was washing the dishes.
From the far north they heard a low wail of the wind, and Uncle Henry and Dorothy could see where the long grass bowed⑨ in waves before the coming storm. There now came a sharp whistling in the air from the south, and as they turned their eyes that way they saw ripples in the grass coming from that direction too.
Suddenly Uncle Henry stood up.
“There's a cyclone coming, Em,” he called to his wife.“I'll go look after the stock.” Then he ran toward the sheds where the cows and horses were kept.
Aunt Em dropped her work and came to the door. One glance told her of the danger close at hand.
“Quick, Dorothy!” she screamed.“Run for the cellar!”
Toto jumped out of Dorothy's arms and hid under the bed, and the girl started to get him.
Aunt Em, badly frightened, threw open the trap door in the floor and climbed down the ladder into the small, dark hole. Dorothy caught Toto at last and started to follow her aunt. When she was halfway across the room there came a great shriek⑩ from the wind, and the house shook so hard that she lost her footing and sat down suddenly upon the floor.
绿野仙踪(节选)
多萝茜与亨利叔叔(一位农民)、爱姆婶婶(这位农民的妻子)一起生活在堪萨斯州大草原的中部。因为建房子的木材要从很远的地方用货车运过来,所以他们住的房子很小,是由四堵墙、一堂地板和一个屋顶构成的;屋子里有一个看起来生锈的烧饭用的炉灶,一个放着盘子的橱柜,一张桌子,三四把椅子,几张床。亨利叔叔和爱姆婶婶有一张大床,放在角落里,多萝茜有一张小床,放在另外一个角落里。
整个屋子没有阁楼,也没有地下室——只有一个小洞,直通到地下,这洞叫作“旋风的地洞”。在大旋风刮来时,全家人可以躲进里面去,因为凡是旋风经过的地方,不论什么建筑物它都能够吹倒。在地板的中央,有一扇活动的木门,那里有一架梯子,走下去就进入了那又小又黑的地洞里。
多萝茜站在门口,向四周眺望,只看见茫茫的灰色大草原,望不到尽头。在那一片宽阔平坦的原野上没有一棵树,也没有一座房子。那草原从四面八方一直伸展到天边。
太阳炙烤着耕作过的田地,使它变成一片灰色的有许多裂缝的荒野。甚至,原野上的草也不是绿色的,因为太阳灼烧着它们的顶部长叶,使得它们不论从何处看都是灰色的。有一次,屋子已被刷过油漆,但是太阳却把油漆晒起了泡,雨水把它褪尽了,现在这屋子就像其他东西一样暗淡了。
当爱姆婶婶来到那里生活的时候,她是一位年轻而美丽的妻子。太阳和风也使她变了样。它们带走了她眼睛里闪耀的光辉,留下了一种沉重的灰色;她的面颊上和嘴唇上失去了红润,也只剩灰色了。如今她消瘦而且憔悴,不再微笑。
多萝茜是一个孤儿,当她第一次来到爱姆婶婶家时,婶婶惊诧于孩子的笑声,无论何时,多萝茜快活的声音钻到婶婶的耳朵里,婶婶总会尖叫起来,并用手抚着她的心头;她仍带着惊奇,看着这个小女孩——因为她在任何东西上,都能够发现笑料来。
亨利叔叔从不爱笑。他从早到晚在地里干活儿,不知道什么是快乐。从他的长须直到他粗糙的鞋子,也全是灰色的。他看起来稳重而严肃,很少说话。
让多萝茜笑的是托托,在四周一切事物都褪变成灰色的环境中,托托带来了不同的色彩;它是一只小黑狗,有着柔软滑顺的长毛,一对小黑眼睛,在它那逗人的极小的鼻子两边快乐地眨着。多萝茜整天跟它在一块儿玩着,并且越来越喜欢它。
然而,今天他们没有玩。亨利叔叔坐在门口的阶沿上,焦虑地望着比平时更灰的天空。多萝茜抱着托托,站在门口,也望着那天空。爱姆婶婶正在洗着盘子。
他们听到北风低低的呼啸声,亨利叔叔和多萝茜看到风暴到来之前的长草像波浪似的起伏着。接着,现在从南方的高空中也传来了一种尖锐的呼啸声。他们转眼望去,只见在那个方向的草同样掀起了波浪。
亨利叔叔突然站了起来。
“爱姆,旋风就要来了!”他对他的妻子大喊着,“我要去照料家畜。” 说着他就迅速跑向栏舍,他们的牛和马都关在那里。
爱姆婶婶立即停下手上的事来到门口。看了一眼之后,她知道危险马上就要到来了。
“多萝茜,快一点儿!”她高声尖叫着,“立刻到地洞里去!”
托托从多萝茜怀抱里跳下来,钻到床底下去,多萝茜开始去抓它。
爱姆婶婶非常害怕,打开地板上活动的门,爬下梯子,躲到那又小又暗的地洞里去。多萝茜最后捉到了托托,就开始去找她婶婶。当她走到半路时背后就传来呼啸的风声,屋子猛然摇晃起来,她失去了平衡,立刻摔倒在地板上。
