Thanks to the solid foundation, he successfully builds a much higher tower dwarfing that of his opponent. The final winner stands high on the top and waves to his opponent who feels dee
7、ply ashamed.The above pictures indicate that it is the foundation rather than speed that is essential to achievement and success. Those who skip time-consuming accumulation of basic knowledge may perform well in the beginning but always have difficulty in making further progress. The following examp
8、le can illustrate this argument. Once there were two boys interested in painting. One worked hard for thirty years to learn painting while the other took crash courses.

10、ether shouldering a timber, three people are striding forward. Suddenly, a deep and wide trench appears in front of them, but they are not discouraged by the unexpected obstacle.

13、rewards.A story of Eisenhower is a dramatic example to show how a person who does others a favor helps himself. On a snowy winter day during the World War II , Eisenhower drove to Central Military Command for a meeting. Suddenly, he saw an old couple trembling in the swirling snow, with a car stalli
14、ng at the wayside.

15、 The above picture portrays a ridiculous scene; a high jumper, with sweat dripping from his forehead, is encouraging himself to clear a crossbar, but unfortunately he is heading towards a wrong direction. Obviously, his endeavor cant bring him a successful jump and his doomed failure exemplifies the
16、 life wisdom that correct direction is the prerequisite for success.If we want to succeed, we should first properly orientate ourselves. Otherwise, the harder we try, the further we stray from our original goals. Take the boy in the picture as an example: the higher he jumps, the further he departs
17、from the crossbar. The same lesson can be drawn from an ancient Chinese story, which is about a man who went towards north, hoping to reach a place in the south direction. The man never cared about his wrong route but kept on boasting about his horse and his driving skills. Undeniably, he would neve
18、r accomplish his plan but would become increasingly far from his destination. Actually such mistakes not only appear in stories, but also happen in our daily life. For example, some university students engage in the blind chase for jobs without careful career plans. No matter how much effort they pu
19、t in, they may never realize their dreams of success due to the lack of focus and clear direction.From the above analysis, we can reach the conclusion that we should always remind ourselves to follow the right direction.

Human life is, just as the caption below indicates, a process of continuous self-improvement. Only through constant self-improvement, can one live a fulfilling life. A person w
22、ho stops learning new things at a young age can hardly make further progress. He can only spend his later life by simply repeating his previous experience and interpret the world with limited knowledge as well as outdated thoughts. In contrast, those who make their continuous efforts to improve them
23、selves can achieve ultimate success. A typical example is Premier Zhou Enlai, who adopted as his motto “one is never too old to learn“. Even when harassed by cancer, he kept on learning to improve his ability to govern the country.The contrasting results from different attitudes towards self-growth
24、remind us that when having attained some achievements, we should not be satisfied with ourselves but should keep on making progress. Only in this way, can we live a colorful and successful life.【知识模块】 短文写作5 【正确答案】 Bright radiance of success shines down, drawing a man towards the brilliance. He has a
25、lready decided to make a ladder to reach for the tempting success. ! He is assembling the necessary parts of the ladder, a pair of stiles made of opportunity and several wooden bars to build steps symbolizing ability.This picture correctly portrays the relationship between opportunity, ability and s
26、uccess. Opportunity and ability are two indispensable contributors to success. Every successful story involves mysterious golden opportunities and outstanding abilities of the main character. Bill Gates, who has created the empire of Microsoft, is a computer, business and management genius favored b

Deng Yaping, a previous Ping-Pong champion now in a successful political career, possesses good writing and communicating skills in English and wins a chance to exploit her ability in her position as an officer in the bid committee for Olympics. There is a
28、longer list of examples.Although opportunity and ability are both necessary for success, they are not equally important. Opportunities are only open to capable people. A person without necessary skills or abilities to grasp an opportunity can only see it passing by. Therefore, developing ones abilities is more important than searching for opportunities. To knock open the door of success, we should first acquire remarkable abilities and then seize opportunities to demonstrate them.【知识模块】 短文写作
