二、“分步寫作”表達(dá)準(zhǔn)一點(diǎn)
概要寫作要點(diǎn)歸納精準(zhǔn)化
閱讀下面短文,根據(jù)其內(nèi)容寫一篇60詞左右的內(nèi)容概要。
There is a difference between simple and easy. The greatest things in life are all about simplicity. The most powerful advice of realizing your dreams is also the simplest and consists of only two words: be yourself.
It is simple and powerful, yet it may not be easy. Most of us, since our childhood, have been conditioned out of trusting our own innate (先天的) powers. We were taught to correspond to expectations others had about us, and told that feeling the way we feel and acting the way we do were not all right. Though we have our own thinking and feeling, most of us give in to the pressure of our surroundings.
Once we lose trust in our power to create whatever we want in our lives, we believe our own powerlessness. As a consequence, we do not ask ourselves what we truly want in life, but instead do what we are obliged to do as everyone else is doing it as well. Also, we will blame others and circumstances for everything in our life we consider bad. This is another way of giving away our power.
But being simple can be very challenging as it is completely out of what most of us have known ourselves to be. Having disconnected from our true nature, fear begins to dominate our experience. It arises when we doubt our power as feeling powerless makes us feel threatened — the source of fear. So instead of creating our life according to our deepest desires, we have become accustomed to living just for survival.
Bad emotions prevent us feeling and being who we truly are and tear us down. But all of them can actually become the greatest fuel for our growth and development if we simply choose to no longer let it define us. Open up to all within us without feeling powerless and unworthy and a new version of us is born. When we feel ourselves being drawn into conflict, just remember the simple truth of our being: simply be with everything we experience and watch it be transformed into love and power.

[1] The philosopher Robert Nozick used the idea of an “experience machine” to refute the view that good experiences are all we want from life.He thought that most of us would not choose the machine and prefer reality.“But why?” he encouraged us to ask.
[2] There was no such thing as virtual (虛擬的) reality (VR) when he was writing.But now we can give ourselves computer generated experiences that are like the real thing.The question raised by Nozick has become a real issue.Why should you prefer the trouble and expense of actually visiting Angkor Wat or Niagara Falls when you can get all the experiences of being there by putting on goggles and a body suit?
[3] One answer is that the emotions you feel when you have a virtual experience are not as valuable.When you actually see Niagara Falls, you feel awe and even fear in the face of an overpowering force of nature.Being in the presence of something that causes you these feelings is part of the pleasure.
[4] Visiting a virtual Niagara Falls may also cause you feelings of awe and fear but they are cheapened by your knowledge that the danger is not real and that your mind is being tricked into thinking that it is.
[5] Reality also holds potential for making discoveries that virtual reality lacks.Those who visit Angkor Wat hope to see more than they expected from tourist information, perhaps even discover what they have missed.Computer simulations (模擬), however good, contain only what people have put into them.
[6] There is a further reason for preferring a real experience.Real experiences connect us to the deeds of past people and place us in contexts where history was made.Viewing an actual painting by Rembrandt is a more valuable experience than viewing a copy, however good.The genuine painting was the work of the man himself.We see his brush strokes on the canvas.We are in the presence of genius.
[7] Virtual reality can take us to places we can never go.It can be exciting, amusing and a good way of spending leisure time.But it will never be a substitute for connections with the real thing.
語(yǔ)篇解讀:本文是一篇議論文。虛擬現(xiàn)實(shí)雖然能讓人激動(dòng)、愉快、打發(fā)休閑時(shí)光,但是它永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)代替現(xiàn)實(shí)世界。
