问题    Read the text below. Write an essay in about 120 words, in which you should summarize the key points of the text and make comments on them. Try to use your own words.
   A millionaire in New York suffered from a severe eye disease. He got a famous doctor to treat his eye. The doctor performed a minor operation on the millionaire, gave him some medicine and advised him to avoid bright light for one month so as to add to the treatment and ensure speedy recovery. On arriving home, the millionaire immediately acted on the doctor’ s advice. He closed all his windows, replaced the colorful curtains with dark heavy ones, removed his bright ceiling lights and used dim bulbs. In a word, he went to great lengths to make his house completely dark.
   Two weeks later, the doctor paid a visit to the millionaire to enquire about his recovery. To the doctor’ s astonishment, everything in the house was made dark and dull. "Just look at all this," said the millionaire proudly. "Not the lowest beam of light inside. I spent $5 ,000 on the changes to the house. I followed your advice faithfully. " "You sure did," replied the doctor, but he found it hard to say that it was a matter of plain common sense that the millionaire could have bought a pair of sunglasses, which would cost much less, rather than spending so much money making the house darker, in order to avoid bright light.

答案 A millionaire suffered from a severe eye disease, and his doctor suggested that he should avoid bright light. Consequently, he spent $5,000 to make his house completely dark instead of buying a pair of sunglasses to solve the problem. After reading this story, we might think how stupid the millionaire is. But as far as I’ m concerned , we are often the millionaire in our daily life. We often choose a complicated way instead of a more convenient way to handle the problems we come across in our study and work. Just as the old saying goes, " Work smart, not hard," so we should learn how to work smart rather than just work hard. In other words, when we are confronted with some problems in our life, we shouldn’ t be eager to take any actions, on the contrary, we should calm down and think carefully to find a more effective and efficient solution.
解析    这篇文章是一篇总结加评论式的作文。这篇文章主要讲了一位百万富翁患上了严重的眼疾，医生建议他为了加快治疗和恢复应该避免强光，于是富翁回家后就花费5000美元将自己的家里全部变暗，其实这本来只需要花费少的钱买一副墨镜就可以解决的事，却被富翁给复杂化了。由此可见，该篇文章跟我们的启示是“在做任何事时，应该选择更加有效的方法，要学会聪明地做事，而不仅仅是努力做事。”
   根据题目要求，在写作时，考生首先要对所给材料的文章大意进行总结，要抓住重点和要点；其次，着重围绕材料发表自身评论，在评论时一定要条理清晰，避免杂乱无章；最后，简要总结自己的观点。
