答案

From the passage we know many Chine rushed to stores to buy as much iodized salt as they could, causing salt prices driving up. But all about the panic buying is just becau of the rumor of salt's protection against radiation.What a foolish thing they did! The blind following of trends reflect a widespread lack of basic scientific knowledge. Rumor said the consumption of iodized salt would help safeguard against the effect of radiation. But actually an adult would probably need to eat up 3 kilograms of salt at a radiation if it is to have any effect against radiation-----meaning that they would likely die quicker from consuming that much salt than from any minimal exposure to radiation. Rumors are sometimes more catastrophic than the disasters themlves. What’s more, what they did not realize was that only 20% of China’s salt comes from the ocean, and most salt on sale is mined rock salt.The same thing happened in 2003. One of my relatives heard someone saying that smoking was a cure for SARS, so he became habitual smoker. At the same time, people rushed to buy vinegar, so did he. When he didn’t u tho vinegar, he rushed to the end of queue to buy high-priced salt.The outdated Chine way of looking at this was best described by Confucian philosopher Xun Zi, who said more than 2,200 years ago: “Rumors stop at the wi.” And anyone can be wi, as Mencius put it, all men can become a sage（哲人）. So what we want to do now is to improve our personal qualities.

解析

考点

据考高分专家说，试题“The wave of panic bu.....”主要考查你对 [小作文 ]考点的理解。 小作文

小作文的概念：

作文多指便条、请假条等，在写作的时候要注意文章的格式（称呼、正文、签名、日期）。

小作文考题的几个特点：

1、重格式，不轻内容： 应用文的大作文的一个很大区别就是重格式，规律性强。格式和套路不对，一般会给阅卷老师留下很不好的印象。例如：信件一般不需要题目，通知和告示却需要，如2010年的题目Volunteers wanted。不只题目，还有客套话署名等。例如：公务信函中的称呼，一般而言，如果是不认识的人，称呼为敬词+尊称。例如，Dear Sir or Madam或 To whom it may concern；如果是写给关系正式的某团体中的人，称呼为敬词+尊称+名。例如，Dear Mr. xx或 Dear Ms. xx；对于关系较亲密的人可以直呼其名（Dear）Peter等。这都是有规律可循的。 2、轻思想，重交际： 这里所谓的轻思想，主要是指因为100字的应用文，除去那些客套话，其实一般主体部分也就2-3个句子就可以解决。这么短的篇幅，是不可能求思想性有多强。这点和大作文不一样，大作文中，如果你没有一定的思想深度，文章结构会很松散，让人感觉是句子的堆砌。而那种连贯性和衔接手法的应用也不会太准确。而小作文，我们要做到的只是注意用词语体以及语域的适当性，要点覆盖的全面性。 3、字数少，易得分： 应用文的篇幅很短，很容易得分。试想，想在阅读理解中10分，你需要在理解一篇500-600字的文章的基础上答对5道选择题。从这个角度而言，小作文的确是容易拿分的，应该成为考生提分的板块。 4、重套路，难发挥： 应用文的这一个特点，仍然是和它的套路性、格式化有关。因此我们更需要用词的准确性。需要我们对语言的语体特点(genre features)进行区分。以免让词汇的语体影响到准确性。写给机构的信函，应该避免使用太口语化的语言。例如06年是写给一个机构的申请信，而08年是写给友人的私人信件，那么两年的应用文写作中，就要求使用不同的语言。从称呼到正文部分，08年的文章用词都可以更口语化和随意一些。正因为这种套路的稳定性，对于同等基础的考生来讲，这部分很难达到技压群雄的效果，很难拉开和别人的距离。也就是说，对于所有考生来说，得10分不容易，得2分甚至4分也很不容易。
