托福寫作例證素材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英國工程師和發(fā)明家，他對蒸汽機做出了基礎性的改進，使之發(fā)展成現(xiàn)代的高壓蒸汽機(1769年獲得專利)
參考事跡：提起瓦特，大家都可能認為是蒸汽機的發(fā)明家，其實早在瓦特之前，已經有比較粗糙的蒸汽機了，不過經過瓦特的改造，效率大大提高，引發(fā)了人類歷史上第一次技術革命，推動了工業(yè)革命的運行。因為蒸汽機，瓦特從一個一貧如洗的窮小子成了名利雙收的人物，他在11年里就獲得了76,000 英鎊專利稅，為了保護自己的專利，他到晚年顯得非常不爽，經常到法院起訴，阻止和壓制別人的發(fā)明，甚至不許自己的助手去試驗用蒸汽發(fā)動四輪車。這是一個科學家的悲劇，不過對E考生來說是好事情，找著專家批了!
軼事：小時候看到一壺水開了，蒸汽把壺蓋沖的撲撲跳，這種常人司空見慣的現(xiàn)象卻引起了小瓦特的濃厚興趣，目不轉睛的盯著水壺，忘了把它提下來，為此被大人說成"懶孩子"
利用點："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." 以及所有專家，權威的話題。知道成功，不知道怎么利用成功?

華盛頓 ( 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.
參考事跡：美國開國元勛。勝利后別人擁戴他當國王，不干，并辭去總司令職務回鄉(xiāng)務農，后來被選上當總統(tǒng)后，干了兩屆，共八年，堅決拒絕第三次連任，按照他的聲望，完全可以一直連任。為此后美國總統(tǒng)連任不得超過三任做出了范例。美國人民心中的NO.1
軼事：如果沒有記錯，櫻桃樹的故事是華盛頓搞出來的?
參考點：革命家不能顧及到自己的利益，否則革命不徹底，當頭的不能老當頭，就算牛也要下來。誠實謙虛不圖虛名等品質。

比爾·蓋茨
Bill Gates When Bill Gates made his decision to drop out from Harvard, he did not care too much of the result. Gates entered Harvard in 1973, and dropped out two years later when he and Allen started the engine of Microsoft. 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……
