问题      Many writers complain that their biggest difficulty is finding a subject. Sometimes that difficulty appears less complicated because the subject is identified in a writing assignment. But writing assignments vary in how they are worded, what they assume, and what they expect. For example, you may be asked to discuss two characters in a play you have read. This open assignment does not identify a subject; it merely identifies an area in which a subject needs to be developed. Another version of that same assignment might ask you to compare and contrast the way the two characters make compromises. This closed assignment identifies a subject, but it assumes you how to work with a specific form (comparison and contrast essay) and it expects you to produce specific information. In other words, although the second assignment restricts the subject, you must still select and arrange the subject matter of your essay.
     When you have a free choice of subject ,your difficulties may appear more complicated. No one is helping you find your subject.. On the other hand, no one is telling you what to do or how to do it. You’re free to your own decisions. Rather than discussing two characters you have read about in a play, you may decide to compare and contrast two characters you know in your neighborhood. Or better still, you decide to analyze how your favorite character deals with the problem of making compromises.
     Whether you are responding to an assignment or creating your own, you need to follow certain measures if you are to find all appropriate subject. First and foremost, you should write about a subject you know or can learn something from. The more you know about your subject, the more likely you’re to shape it according to your unique perspective. In particular, if your subject is familiar to most of your readers, then your personal experience with or research on the subject will help you write about it in terms of your observanons, your ideas and your values. Second, you must determine if your subject is a general subject that you must limit to a specific subject or not. A general subject is a large category of information, such as situation comedies on television. A specific subject focuses on a particular topic within that category, such as the portrayal of professional women. Or a specific subject can reflect a particular attitude or judgment that expresses the writer’s personal view of the general subject. The more you can limit or specify your subject, the more likely you are to concentrate your attention on concrete information rather than vague impressions. Third, to ensure that you are willing to spend time working on your subject, you need to ask yourself three questions about it. Is it significant? Is it interesting? Is it manageable?  [br] When looking for a subject, which of the following is the most important aspect?
选项 A、One should choose a subject he knows quite well.
B、One should write about something readers don’t know.
C、One should limit his writing to a specific subject.
D、One should choose an interesting subject.
答案 A
解析 细节题。英语中先主后次，“First and foremost”之后所述内容为最重要的。首先，你应该写自己了解的或能够了解到一些信息的东西。你越了解自己的主题，你就越容易根据自己的个性视角塑造主题尤其是，如果你的主题是大多数读者所熟悉的，那么你关于这个主题的个人经验或所做的调查研究会使你能够从你自己的观察，从自己的看法和价值观的角度来写这个主题。因此，应该选择一个你所熟悉的话题，故选A项
