托福写作例证素材1
瓦特 (Watt)
British engineer and inventor who made fundamental improvements in the steam engine, resulting in the modern, high-pressure steam engine (patented 1769).瓦特，詹姆斯1736-1819英国工程师和发明家，他对蒸汽机做出了基础性的改进，使之发展成现代的高压蒸汽机(1769年获得专利)
参考事迹：提起瓦特，大家都可能认为是蒸汽机的发明家，其实早在瓦特之前，已经有比较粗糙的蒸汽机了，不过经过瓦特的改造，效率大大提高，引发了人类历史上第一次技术革命，推动了工业革命的运行。因为蒸汽机，瓦特从一个一贫如洗的穷小子成了名利双收的人物，他在11年里就获得了76,000 英镑专利税，为了保护自己的专利，他到晚年显得非常不爽，经常到法院起诉，阻止和压制别人的发明，甚至不许自己的助手去试验用蒸汽发动四轮车。这是一个科学家的悲剧，不过对E考生来说是好事情，找着专家批了!
轶事：小时候看到一壶水开了，蒸汽把壶盖冲的扑扑跳，这种常人司空见惯的现象却引起了小瓦特的浓厚兴趣，目不转睛的盯着水壶，忘了把它提下来，为此被大人说成"懒孩子"
利用点："The people who make important contributions to society are generally not those who develop their own new ideas, but those who are most gifted at perceiving and coordinating the talents and skills of others." 以及所有专家，权威的话题。知道成功，不知道怎么利用成功?

华盛顿 ( Washington)
American military leader and the first President of the United States (1789-1797). Commander of the American forces in the Revolutionary War (1775-1783), he presided over the Second Constitutional Convention (1787) and was elected President of the fledgling country (1789). He shunned partisan politics and in his farewell address (1796) warned against foreign involvement.
参考事迹：美国开国元勋。胜利后别人拥戴他当国王，不干，并辞去总司令职务回乡务农，后来被选上当总统后，干了两届，共八年，坚决拒绝第三次连任，按照他的声望，完全可以一直连任。为此后美国总统连任不得超过三任做出了范例。美国人民心中的NO.1
轶事：如果没有记错，樱桃树的故事是华盛顿搞出来的?
参考点：革命家不能顾及到自己的利益，否则革命不彻底，当头的不能老当头，就算牛也要下来。诚实谦虚不图虚名等品质。

Bill Gates When Bill Gates made his decision to drop out from Harvard, he did not care too much of the result.

Many people did not understand why Gates gave up such a good opportunity to study in the world’s No.1 University. However, with size comes power, Microsoft dominates the PC market with its operating systems, such as MS-DOS and Windows. Now, Microsoft becomes the biggest software company in the world and Bill Gates becomes the richest man in the world.

My First Time in Philadelphia — Benjamin Franklin
I walked up the street, gazing about till near the market-house I met a boy with bread. I had made many a meal on bread, and, inquiring where he got it, I went immediately to the baker?s he directed me to, in Second-street, and asked for biscuit, intending such as we had in Boston; but they, it seems, were not made in Philadelphia. Then I asked for a three-penny loaf, and was told they had none such. So not considering or knowing the difference of money, and the greater cheapness nor the names of his bread, I bade him give me three-penny worth of any sort.
He gave me, accordingly, three great puffy rolls, I was surprised at the quantity, but took it, and, having no room in my pockets, walked off with a roll under each arm, and eating the other. Thus I went up Market-street as far as Fourth-street, passing by the door of Mr. Read, my future wife?s father; when he, standing at the door, saw me, and thought I made, as I certainly did, a most awkward, ridiculous appearance. Then I turned and went down Chestnut-street and part of Walnut street, eating my roll all the way, and, coming round, found myself again at Market-street wharf, near the boat I came in , to which I went for a draught of the river water; and, being filled with one of my rolls, gave the other two to a woman and her child that came down the river in the boat with us, and were waiting to go farther.
Thus refreshed, I walked again up the street, which by this time had many clean-dressed people in it, who were all walking the same way. I joined them, and thereby was led into the great meeting-house of the Quakers near the market. I sat down among them, and, after looking round awhile and hearing nothing said, being very drowsy through labor and want of rest the preceding night, I fell fast asleep, and continued so till the meeting broke up. When one was kind enough to rouse me, this was, therefore, the first house I was in, or slept in, in Philadelphia.
Walking down again toward the river, and, looking in the faces of people, I met a young Quaker man, whose countenance I liked, and, accosting him requested he would tell me where a stranger could get lodging . We were then near the sign of the Three Mariners. “Here”, says he “is one place that entertains strangers, but it is not a reputable house; if thee wilt walk with me, I?ll show thee a better.” He brought me to the Crooked Billet in Water-street. Here I got a dinner; and, while I was eating it, several sly questions were asked me, as it seemed to be suspected form my youth and appearance, that I might be some runaway.
After dinner, my sleepiness returned, and being shown to a bed, I lay down without undressing and slept till six in the evening, was called to supper, went to bed again very early, and slept soundly till next morning. Then I made myself as tidy as I could, and went to Andrew Bradford the printer?s. I found in the shop the old man his father, whom I had seen at New York, and who, traveling on horseback, had got to Philadelphia before me. He introduced me to his son, who received me civilly, gave me a breakfast, but told me he did not at present want a hand, being lately supplied with one; but there was another printer in town, lately set up, one Keimer, who, perhaps, might employ me; if not, I should be welcome to lodge at his house, and he would give me a little work to do now and then till fuller business should offer. The old gentleman said he would go with me to the new printer; and when we found him, “Neighbor,” says Bradford, “ I have brought to see you a young man of your business; perhaps you may want such a one.” He asked me a few questions, put a composing stick in my hand to see how I worked, and then said he would employ me soon, though he had just then nothing for me to do……
