Unit 8 First aid (2009·北京东城质检)请根据下面提示，写一篇短文。词数不少于 50 个。In an English class, you are asked to describe the following picture and explain how you understand it.____________________________________________ [参考答案]In the picture, we can see a giraffe making a great effort to reach for the leaves from a tall tree, sweating. No matter how hard it tries, it still cannot get any leaf. Around the giraffe, there are some small trees which are much easier for it to approach.Admittedly, the short－sighted giraffe concentrates all its attention on the tall tree. However, it neglects other small trees around it. As long as it moves a little backward or forward, it can reach any leaf from the small trees. In other words, the giraffe fails to make all－sided analysis.In reality, we may face a similar situation. When we fail after making attempts, we need to consider other ways to solve the problem; otherwise, we will find ourselves in a blind alley(死胡同) just like the giraffe in the picture.Ⅰ.重点单词1．______(n.) 咬；叮；被咬(或叮)的伤痕； 咬伤 (vt. & vi.) 咬；叮2．______(adj.) 突然(发生)的；意外的；迅 速的用心 爱心 专心13．______(vt.) 使倾斜；使翻倒；轻击4．______(vi.) 十分惊慌 (n.) 惊慌；恐慌5．______(adj.) 宁静的；镇静的 (vt. & vi.)
