(西安工业大学附属中学2022～2023学年九上第三次月考)My 14 year old son, John, and I saw the coat at the same time in a second hand clothing store.It stood out among big and old coats.It was so beautiful and had an unbelievable price, $28.I looked at my son and we both said nothing, but John's eyes shone.Dark, woolen (羊毛制的) coats were popular with teenage boys, but new ones could cost several hundred dollars.This coat was even better.John tried it on and turned from side to side, eyeing himself in the mirror.It fit him so well.
John wore the coat to school the next day.After he came home, I asked, “Did the kids like your coat？”
“They loved it，” he said with a big grin．
Over the next few weeks, John changed.He was polite, less argumentative (争辩的), more thoughtful (深思熟虑的), and much happier.“Good dinner, Mom，” he would say every evening.Without a word of complaining (抱怨), he would carry in wood for the stove.One day when I suggested that he should start on his homework before dinner, John, who always put things off, said, “You're right.I guess I will.” When I mentioned this change to one of his teachers, she joked that the coat must have changed him.
John and I both know we should never judge (评价) a person by his clothes.But it is true that when wearing beautiful and suitable (合适的) clothes, we may try to be better in thought, speech and behavior to match what is on the inside to what is on the outside.

Alice is a college student and in her internship (实习期) now.Last month，she bought a scarf which she really liked.It cost her more than 50 dollars.It's not cheap，but it made her happy because she had dreamed of having one for a long time.
Every morning，when she puts on her new scarf，she feels so happy that it seems that the whole day is full of hope.Alice has been used to rewarding (奖励) herself through shopping.This hobby also drives her to work hard and makes her life keep getting better.
But her mother，Mrs. Miller thinks quite differently.When Mrs. Miller knew the price of Alice's new scarf，they started to argue with each other and the argument lasted for almost a whole day.Her mother thought that she shouldn't spend so much money on it，while Alice thought her mother didn't understand her at all.
But Alice didn't know that her mother's life was very hard.When Mrs. Miller was very young，she could not find enough clothes to wear in winter.She needed to learn how to spend every penny as if it were two so that she could survive (生存).

【佳作示范】
The Internet has influenced my life
With the development of science and technology, the Internet has become a necessary part in my life. It's true that the Internet has greatly changed my life.
First of all, by surfing the Internet, I can get information I need more easily and learn a lot. Besides, the Internet provides me with a very convenient way of communication, so I can chat with my friends and relatives who stay far away from me. In the past, if I live far from my friends or relatives, we could only write letters to each other, but now the Internet can solve this problem. What's more, I can watch the latest movies and play games on the Internet, which can help me relax.
All in all, the Internet makes my life more colorful. I can't live without it.
