语篇呈现 
这样的一篇语篇阅读,学生已经完成了任务题,也已经把错题弄明白了,后面还可以做些什么呢? 这篇文章属人物成长励志类,属于中考的选材范畴里。它讲述了这样一个故事: 
24岁设计师Mara住在海边小镇,奋斗三年,创立自己的服装品牌。她没有雄厚资金打广告,只有缝纫机和自己手工做的花衬衫。她认为不必追逐瞬息万变的潮流,简约优质的衣服一样能吸引顾客。就在她第一场正式时装秀来临之前,强台风摧毁了她海边小小的工作室。狂风洪水把设备毁坏一地。看到一片狼藉,她十分震惊,但没有崩溃,冷静地捡拾还能使用的物料。她的邻居老裁缝同样损失了作坊,两个人谁都没有放弃。Mara借来一台缝纫机,日夜赶工,希望依靠残存材料完成作品。几周后时装秀如期举行。上场前她很紧张,对着镜子鼓励自己:做你自己。这场秀大获成功。很多店主询问是否可以代销她的服饰;当地报纸报道她的故事。她出名,不仅是因为她投入大量时间精力做设计,更因为她拥有重建梦想的勇气。 这样的故事很值得一读,有正能量传递着。而且,文章中的词汇量很大,完全可以拿来再使用下去。
