Since then, Jessie's bright dreams had grown very 3 .‎ ‎ The school was actually just a few rooms in an old building in the same rundown neighborhood. 4 meeting Americans and making friends, that was much 5 said than done Although some of Jessie's classmates were 6 and outgoing,they were foreigners. 7 of the teachers seemed interested in spending time with their 8 outside of class Where could Jessie find nice,trustworthy Americans to 9 to especially in that part of town? She didn't know, so she spent most evenings alone in her room, studying grammar and feeling 10 . ‎ ‎"Maybe I'll go have some nooclles,'she thought. "That always seems to help when I'm feeling 11 .

The woman sat down at the next table and ‎13 a bowl of noodle soup. She looked sad and fired, and Jessie felt 14 for her.‎ ‎ Jessie wanted to say something, to 15 to this woman somehow.

In the meantime, the structure of the average family expenses has changed, too. These graphs show the change clearly. ‎ The biggest part of the average family expenses is housing. In 1998, the average family spent 25 percent of its income on housing. In 2880, expenses on housing rose ‎ to 42 percent. Food and drink are the second biggest part of the average family expenses. In 1998, about 18% of the average income was spent on this item. In 2008, the figure grew to 30%. As a result of such increase in the expenses on housing and food, expenses on other items have been reduced from 57% in 1998 to 28%in 2008. ‎ Thus, a conclusion can be drawn that as income increases, people can improve their living step. But still the average family has to spend a large part of income to meet the basic needs.‎ Dick是一个25岁的澳大利亚青年，他的成功之路被认为是奇迹.请根据以下信息，以“Attitude is altitude”为题目，写一篇不少于120词左右的短文，同时谈谈Nick的经历对你的启发。‎ 1. 出生时无手无脚，曾被很多人当作怪物嘲笑；‎ ‎2. 永不言弃；乐观自信；‎ ‎3. 会游泳、冲浪、钓鱼；完成了大学教育并获得了双学位，是两个公司的CEO；‎ ‎4. 人生信条：态度就是高度；‎ 参考词汇：四肢limbs，‎ ‎【答案解析】【参考范文】‎ Attitude is Altitude Nick is a 25-year-old Australian man, whose life is full of hardships.
