A writer can write many songs. Sometimes a writer’s favorite song isn’t his most successful one. “Walkin’ in the Sun” is a good example. It’s not my most successful song but it is very meaningful to me.My father was blind since he was about 6 years old. He was an insurance broker (保险经纪人). He did most of his work at home in Brooklyn, New York. Most of his sales were done on the phone. And he was really good at it. Sometimes, though, he had to go to the offices in Manhattan.One day, when I was about 13, I went to the offices in Manhattan with him. We were on the way to the subway station and I remember it was the end of the day. It was a little cold. My dad asked if the sun was out on the other side of the street. I said, “Yes.” He said, “Let’s walk on that side of the street.”Many years later, when I was probably 30, I was writing songs for myself. I had an office at A&M Records and they wanted me to record (录制) some of my songs. I thought about that day and “Walkin’ in the Sun”. It’s very simple. It says that when things are very negative, you need to know when they get better. At the end of the song, it says: Even a blind man can tell when he’s walkin’ in the sun.
I was the first person to record it but I’m very moved (感动的) because it’s also been sung by many famous singers. I think people like it because they can tell it comes from a place of sincerity (真诚).

九、书面表达（10分）
Pollution is a very serious problem in the world. We can’t imagine how to live in the future without clean water or fresh air. We have only one earth, so we have to think about how to protect the environment.
In my opinion, factories mustn’t pour the waste water into rivers, lakes and so on. When we go out, we’d better take a bus or a subway instead of driving private cars. We should avoid stop using plastic bags when we go shopping. Then many green trees can be saved. Besides protecting plants, we are supposed to protect animals. We need each kind of animal.
Of course, the government must do something about this. We want our beautiful world to be back.
