in terrible circumstances, remember that although you might lose everything else — your job, your possessions, your money, even your health — knowledge can never be taken from you.
At the same time, the more you read, the more words you gain exposure to, and they’ll surely make their way into your everyday vocabulary. Being able to express your ideas clearly in words is of great help in any profession and knowing that you can speak to higher-ranking people with
self-confidence can be a great encouragement to your self-esteem（自尊）. It could even aid in your career as those who are well-read, well-spoken, and knowledgeable on a variety of topics tend to get promotions more quickly (and more often) than those with smaller vocabularies and lack of awareness of literature, scientific breakthroughs, and global events. Reading books is also vital for learning new languages, as non-native speakers gain exposure to words used in context, which will improve their own speaking and writing fluency.
When you read a book, you have to remember a lot of characters, their backgrounds, ambitions, history as well as the various plots that weave their way through every story. That’s a fair bit to remember, but brains are wonderful things and can remember these things with relative ease. Amazingly enough, whenever you remember something new, new synapses are formed and existing ones are strengthened. How cool that is!
No matter how much stress you have at work, in your personal relationships, or countless other issues faced in daily life, it all just slips away when you lose yourself in a great story. A well-written novel can transport you to other realms（领域）while an interesting article will distract you and keep you in the present moment , letting tensions drain away and allowing you to relax.

Grinding an iron rod into a needle
Li Bai was a great poet in the Tang Dynasty of China.
It is said that in his childhood, he was very fond of playing and afraid of difficulties, and made slow progress in his studies. One day, on his way home after school, he walked by a creek and saw an old woman grinding（磨碎）a very, very thick iron rod. Being curious, he went to the old woman and asked, “Old grandma, why are you grinding this iron rod?” The old woman replied, “To make a needle.” At this moment, Li Bai felt more curious and asked again, “How can you grind such a thick iron rod into a needle?” “Yes, I can. I certainly can,” the old woman said. “If one works with constant effort, one can grind an iron rod into a needle.” Hearing what the old woman said, Li Bai was enlightened. Since then, Li Bai studied hard and made rapid progress. Eventually he became a famous poet. 写作内容：

六、书面表达
One possible version:
Legend has it that Li Bai, enlightened and motivated by an old woman who was grinding a thick rod into a needle, turned out a great poet with constant effort. (30)
This story reminds me of the significance of perseverance, a quality that’s what it takes to do anything well. It was perseverance that helped the old woman accomplish a seemingly impossible mission. Without it, we could hardly work miracles.
Actually behind every great achievement in anyone’s life lies perseverance. Only those who take the courage to go forward and hold on straight to the end can make it, whatever difficulties they may come across. One case in point is Kobe Bryant. To become an outstanding basketball player, he spent all his time practicing despite heavy injuries and great pressure. Finally, his endeavor and persistence paid off and he became a NBA legend.
In conclusion, persistence is important to our life if we are to succeed. (155) 书面表达评分建议 一、评分原则
