10月SAT作文題目
Is it better to adapt yourself to new circumstances, or is it better to just remain unchanged?（同學回憶版本）
題目翻譯：是改變自己適應新環境，還是不改變自己（而改變環境）。
題目分析：本題是一個選擇式的任務。任務要求考生能夠二選一，并且能體現出為什么選前者而不是后者。
思考過程：根據例子提煉觀點和正文例子邏輯。
1 想例子
筆者最喜歡的人物例子是美國自行車運動員Lance Armstrong，他在1996年被查出得了癌癥，面對此新情況，他選擇改變自己以前不聽話的性格，去聽從醫生意見，和醫護人員合作來克服癌癥，適應這個新環境，最后成功并且復出奪得環法冠軍。
2 提煉觀點
觀點是應該改變自己適應新環境，因為如果不改變，就可能會無法存活。
3 中間段例子邏輯
本文的題眼是：新環境改變自己結果較好（這樣才能體現better）
所以整個例子的邏輯鏈是：曾經的Lance 很頑固，不聽任何人的建議后來得了癌癥改變自己的性格，變得比較cooperative最后戰勝癌癥，取得環法冠軍。
其中對于邏輯鏈的細節補充很重要，那么怎么知道這些細節呢？這就要大家提前做好對人物素材的整理，以便在考試時選擇性使用。
4 細節補充 （此處資料取自筆者2010年上半年SAT作文回顧的文章）
1） 曾經的性格
He was stubborn. He didnt understand the strategy of holding a little energy in reserve.
First race: 1990 Amateur World Championship in Japan. The race, held on a very hot day, was 115 miles long with a difficult uphill section. Chris wanted Lance to draft--- to stay behind other riders and save some energy for the end of the race. But Lance didnt listen to his coach. He was overconfident and quickly pedaled to a big lead. The lead grew to almost 90 seconds, but Lance was exhausting himself. He got tired and slowed down. His lead fell to a minute, than to 30 seconds. Soon the peloton had caught him. Lance couldnt mount a charge at the end. He could only slide back into the draft and finish eleventh.
提示：之前完全不聽教練的話。
Impatience was not Lances only problem during races. His aggressive style also got him into trouble. He didnt give his opponents any respect. He would shout at them and insult them during races. He wouldnt work with his own teammates. He would show them up（使難堪）， just to prove that he was better. In response other riders sometimes got in his way on purpose and tried to slow him down. They refused to draft with him. By being selfish, Lance was isolating him.
提示：比較粗魯，自大，不給對手尊重，不和隊員合作。
2） 得癌癥
At the age 25, the doctor Reeves said that he suffered testicular cancer. The cancer had spread from his testicle to his lungs.
3） 如何轉變性格
1 聽醫生話做手術
Surgery to remove his testicle, three hours, success. Next three months, he need a powerful chemotherapy,, a kind of cancer treatment that can be very hard on the patient.
2 同醫生交流
Lance talked to his doctors about his treatment and hoped that they could use drugs that wouldntt destroy his muscles or hurt his chance of returning to cycling someday.
4） 結果成功
Finally, the whole therapy was over. The early tests were promising. After deep thought, he decided to start training again. He wanted to return for the 1998 season.
More than that, he became the championship in Tour-de-France for the next seven years.
