12月英语六级考前密押作文二十四：不劳就无获
　　Directions:For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic: No pains,no gains You should write at least120 words following the outline below in Chinese.
　　1. 为什么说“不劳就无获”
　　2. 试举例说明
　　No pains, no gains
　　Nearly every civilization has its own equivalent to the proverb “ No pains, no gains.” It means that nothing can be gained without painstaking efforts and that no knowledge or skill can be acquired without sweat or toil.
　　You don’t have to look very far too prove the truth of the proverb. Darwin’s great discovery was not the work of a moment but was preceded by years of patient, arduous observation. Mozart was not an accomplished pianist at the age of eight as the result of watching countless hours of TV. Nor did Edison make himself the greatest inventor in the modern world by spending his spare time on going to parties or bars. His words “Genius is 99 percent perspiration and one percent inspiration ,reveals the secret of thousands of successful men and women. All accomplishments and success come from sustained endeavor.
　　Although it is an old saying,“ no pains no gains” has its profound and realistic significance in our college studies. To acquire knowledge in a particular field and to attain any academic goals, great exertion and persistent effort are undoubtedly required because we all know that “No pains, no gains.”
　　点评：该预测题与四级1997年1月作文命题类似，属于论证道理性的解释性说明文写作，已有多年未考，值得关注。根据此类作文命题规律，第一段对这一格言所蕴涵的意义做了解释和界定。第二段举例说明了其哲理性;最后一段说明它的现实意义，重述主题。
