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。

In junior high school, one of my classmates, Ethan, was addicted to TV. This boy simply knew everything about such pop shows as Who’s the Boss?

Then one day Ethan’s mother made him an offer in order to draw him back to his school subjects. She promised that she would give him $200 if he could go a full month without watching any TV. None of us thought Ethan could do it, but he did quit TV. His mom paid him $200. He went out and bought a TV, the biggest he could find.

         In recent years, hundreds of schools have carried out experiments with paying kids with cash for showing up or getting good grades. All school kids admire this trend. But it upsets adults. Teachers say that we are rewarding kids for doing what they should be doing of their own will.Psychologists warn that money can actually make kids perform worse by making the act of learning cheap. The debate has become a typical battle over why our kids are not learning at the rate they should be despite decades of reforms and budget increases.

              THE LION AND THE MOUSE

When a lion was asleep, a little mouse began running up and down beside him, which made some noise. This soon wakened the lion. Losing his temper, he caught the mouse in his paws and was about to kill it. The mouse, terrified, pleaded to the lion to spare its life.

"Please let me go," it cried, "and one day I will repay you for your kindness." The idea of so small a creature ever being able to do anything for him amused the lion so much that he laughed aloud. He thought, “How could this little mouse help me?” However, he lifted his paws and let it go.

But the mouse's chance came after all. A few days later, when the lion was wandering in the forest, he was caught in a trap.

The hunters wanted to take him alive to the king, so he tied him to a tree, and went away to look for a wagon.

Just then the little mouse passed by, and saw the sad lion. It went up to him and soon gnawed away(啃斷) the ropes. “Was I right?” asked the little mouse. This lion nodded his head and thanked the little mouse.

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。

      “Silent night” is anything but silent in China. Some Chinese people have turned Christmas Eve into a wild party night for the young. I assure you that the holiness of this holy night is totally lost here.

       I noticed this year that some Chinese people were picking up Thanksgiving as well. They do without the turkey, but on Thanksgiving they send text messages to each on the cell phone. I got 32 messages in all, reminding me to be thankful. None of them thanked me for anything, however. I did not send any out. I still want a turkey (with lots of stuffing) and pumpkin pies.

       The most ridiculous Western holiday celebrated in China, however, is Valentine’s Day. The Chinese translation is “Lovers’ Day”. I dare say it is the worst of the year for married men because they think it awkward to spend “Lovers’ Day” with their wife. But women here take Valentine’s Day very seriously. As a result, it is great business for restaurants and flower shops; this is the day of the year they can sell a lot of merchandise.
