     阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。       Mr. Whitson taught six-grade science. On the first day of class, he gave us a lecture about a creature called cattywampus, an animal that died out during the Ice Age. He showed us a skull (头盖骨) as he
talked. We all took notes and later had a test. When he returned our paper, we found that everyone in
the class had failed. Mr. Whitson explained that he had made up all those things about the cattywampus.
There had never been such an animal. The information in our notes was incorrect. The skull he showed
us was a cat"s skull. He had described its surprising night vision, the color of its fur and a number of other
facts he couldn"t have known. Nobody was doubtful but wrote down what the teacher said. Mr. Whitson
said he hoped we would learn something from this experience. Teachers and textbooks are not never
wrong. He told us not to let our minds go to sleep, and to speak up if we ever thought he or the
textbooks was wrong.

答案

Possible version :
     The passage is about a lecture on a fictional creature given by Mr Whitson, who fails the whole class in the test for their blind obedience and holds the view that students should question actively instead ofblindly following.(38 words)
     The story reminds me of the first English class when I was in Senior One. When the class began, in
came Miss Liu, our English teacher. To my surprise, though she spoke English during the whole period, I
could figure out what she meant, which increased my interest in learning English.At the end of the class,
she asked me to retell the text. In a trembling voice, I did it in broken English, which I felt ashamed of
However, she praised me for my courage to perform in front of the class, adding that my pronunciation
was good.
    I will never forget the English class because Miss Liu taught us that by taking an active part in class and enjoying it, we would make progress. (125 words)
Possible version 2:
    Mr. Whitson, a science teacher, told his students, who all failed in the test, that they should maintain
doubts in their minds when they are learning by showing them a made-up creature on the first day ofclass. (38 words)
    I had a similar experience. When I was in Grade Seven, our science teacher, Mr. Li, presented us an
experiment on how the electricity can be produced. He rubbed a plastic stick on a piece of fur and put
the stick on our hair, which made our hair stick up like needles. All the students were attracted by the
amazing phenomenon. Mr. Li did the experiment again. But we never saw the same result as we had
seen before. Mr. Li asked us to explain it. Nobody could answer. Then Mr. Li said that the plastic stick
which he had shown the first time was wet with water in the second time. We failed to answer because
we didn"t pay enough attention to the experiment.
     From this lesson,  I know that science needs careful observation and any detail can make a difference.(135 words)
