高一鲁假背诵文章及英译汉It Garbage Classif

高一鲁假背诵文章及英译汉It Garbage Classif 地球是我们赖以生存的家园，现在这个家园正在被垃圾包围，我们作为地球的主人，不能坐以待毙，不能只是担忧和抱怨，我们要行动起来，为净化我们的生存环境而努力。

The earth is the home we depend on for survival. Now this home is surrounded by garbage. As the owner of the earth, we can’t wait to die. We can’t just worry and complain. We need to act to purify our living environment.最近，上海垃圾分类成了热门话题。

以前垃圾这种东西，想什么时候扔，就什么时候扔。

如今上海的街道已没有随处可见的垃圾桶，人们不仅要把垃圾扔到固定的投放点，还要按照投放时间去扔垃圾，更恐怖的是还要把各种垃圾进行分类。

干垃圾、湿垃圾、可回收垃圾、有害垃圾等等，可千万不能搞错了。

就拿我们常喝的奶茶来说吧，奶茶里的珍珠属于湿垃圾，奶茶杯属于干垃圾，杯盖属于可回收垃圾，这一杯奶茶你要分别投在三个垃圾箱里。

我们天天都要用的，不管有多湿，它都是干垃圾。

Recently, garbage classification in Shanghai has become a hot topic. In the past, garbage was thrown whenever you want. Nowadays, there are no garbage cans in the streets of Shanghai. People should not only throw the garbage to a fixed place, but also throw the garbage according to the time of delivery. Hats more, they should classify all kindsof garbage. Dry waste, wet waste, recyclable waste, hazardous waste and so on must not be mistaken. Take the milk tea we often drink for example. The Pearl in the milk tea belongs to the wet garbage, the milk tea cup belongs to the dry garbage, and the cup cover belongs to the recyclable garbage. This cup of milk tea needs to be put into three dustbins respectively. We use it every day. No matter how wet it is, its dry garbage.。

Colours in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves.Birds, especially seagullsare very fond of locusts, but birds can't easily catch locusts because locusts change their colours together with the change of the colour of crops. When crops are green, locusts look green. But when crops are ripe, locusts take on exactly the same brown colour as crops have. Some other pests with different colours from plants are usually easily found and eaten by their enemies. So they have to hide themselves in terror for lives and appear only at night. If you study the animal life in any part of the world, you will find the main use of colouring is to protect themselves. Bears, wolves and other beasts move quietly through forests. They are usually invisible to the eyes of hunters, because they have the colour much like the barksof trees. An even more strange act remains to be noticed. A kind of fish living in seas can send out a kind of very black liquid when it faces danger. While the liquid is spreading, its enemies cannot find it, and it quickly swims away. Thus, it has existed up to now though it is not powerful at all.221w1.

高中英语现代文背诵篇章42Coal素材

42 Coal-fired power plantsThe invention of the incandescent light bulb by Thomas A. Edison in 1879 created a demand for a cheap, readily available fuel with which to generate large amounts of electric power. Coal seemed to fit the bill, and it fueled the earliest power stations. (which were set up at the end of the nineteenth century by Edison himself). As more power plants were constructed throughout the country, the reliance on coal increased throughout the country, the reliance on coal increased. Since the First World War, coal-fired power plants had a combined in the United States each year. In 1986 such plants had a combined generating capacity of 289,000 megawatts and consumed 83 percent of the nearly 900 million tons of coal mined in the country that year. Given the uncertainty in the future growth of the nearly 900 million tons of coal mined in the country that year. Given the uncertainty in the future growth of nuclearpower and in the supply of oil and natural gas, coal-fired power plants could well provide up to 70 percent of the electric power in the United States by the end of the century.Yet, in spite of the fact that coal has long been a source of electricity and may remain on for many years(coal represents about 80 percent of United Statesfossil-fuel reserves), it has actually never been the most desirable fossil fuel for power plants. Coal contains less energy per unit of weight than weight than natural gas or oil; it is difficult to transport, and it is associated with a host of enviro nmental issues, among them acid rain. Since the late 1960’s problems of emission control and waste disposal have sharply reduced the appeal of coal-fired power plants. The cost of ameliorating these environment problems along with the rising cost of building a facility as large and complex as a coal-fired power plant, have also made such plants less attractive from a purely economic perspective. Changes in the technological base of coal-fired power plants could restore their attractiveness, however. Whereas some of these changes are intended mainly to increase the productivity of existing plants, completely new technologies for burning coal cleanly are also being developed.。

现代文背诵篇章四十八

现代文背诵篇章四十八BacteriaBacteria are extremely small living things. While we measure our own sizes in inches or centimeters, bacterial size is measured in microns. One micron is a thousandth of a millimeter: a pinhead is about a millimeter across. Rod-shaped bacteria are usually from two to four microns long, while rounded ones are generally one micron in diameter. Thus if you enlarged a rounded bacterium a thousand times, it would be just about the size of a pinhead. An adult human magnified by the same amount would be over a mile(1.6 kilometer) tall.Even with an ordinary microscope, you must look closely to see bacteria. Using a magnification of 100 times, one finds that bacteria are barely visible as tiny rods or dots. One cannot make out anything of their structure. Using special stains, one can see that some bacteria have attached to them wavy-looking “hairs”called flagella. Others have only one flagellum. The flagella rotate, pushing the bacteria through the water. Many bacteria lack flagella and cannot move about by their own power, while others can glide along over surfaces by some little-understood mechanism.From the bacteria point of view, the world is a very different place from what it is to humans. To a bacterium water is as thick as molasses is to us. Bacteria are so small that they are influenced by the movements of the chemical molecules around them. Bacteria under the microscope, even those with no flagella, often bounce about in the water. This is because they collide with the watery molecules and are pushed this way and that. Molecules move so rapidly that within a tenth of a second the molecules around a bacteria have all been replaced by new ones; even bacteria without flagella are thus constantly exposed to a changing environment.。

Unit 1 Science and Scientists姓名__________________I. Read the paragraph repeatedly and then recite it.The truth was that the water from the Broad Street pump had been infected by waste. Moreover, Snow was later able to show a link between other cases of cholera and the different water companies in London. Some companies sold water from the River Thames that was polluted by raw waste. The people who drank this water were much more likely to get cholera than those who drank pure or boiled water.Through Snow’s tireless efforts, water companies began to sell clean water, and the threat of cholera around the world saw a substantial decrease. However, cholera is still a problem. Each year, millions of people around the world would get cholera and many die from it. Fortunately, we now know how to prevent cholera, thanks to the work of John Snow. Moreover, in his use of maps and statistics, Snow transformed the way scientists study diseases. For this reason, Snow is considered the father of modern epidemiology.II. Learn to recite it.III.

高级英语背诵段落文本

《高级英语》口试背诵段落文本Lesson 1 Para. 18There is, we can surely agree, no form of oppression that is quite so great, no construction on thought and effort quite so comprehensive, as that which comes from having no money at all. Though we hear much about the limitation on the freedom of the affluent when their income is reduced through taxes, we hear nothing of the extraordinary enhancement of the freedom of the poor from having some money of their own to spend. Yet the loss of freedom from taxation to the rich is a small thing as compared with the gain in freedom from providing some income to the impoverished. Freedom we rightly cherish. Cherishing it, we should not use it as a cover for denying freedom to those in need.Lesson 2 Para.12 & Para. 37The burly arms of the oaks were huge with ferns and blooming bromeliads. Redbirds, tanagers, and painted buntings flew back and forth across the trail, leaving a child with the impression that the woods were tossing with jewels.Today I can see in my grandsons and great-grandson some of those qualities of courage and caring that my father had in such abundance. It was his and my mother’s way of caring for us that made us all caring of one another. Perhaps this caring is the key to those wonderful times we had in the Ten Thousand Islands when the century took its turn.Lesson 4 Para. 88I knew all that. I knew now that he was a person who had hit rock bottom. A person who knew— as I did not know, did not come near knowing—exactly what rock bottom was. He and wife knew that together and it bound them, as something like that would either break you apart or bind you, for life. Not that they would live at rock bottom. But they would share a knowledge of it – that cool, empty, locked, and central space.Lesson 4 Para.94-- Para. 95Well. It would be the same old thing, if we ever met again. Or if we didn’t. Love that was not usable, that knew its place. Not risking a thing yet staying alive as a sweet trickle, an underground resource. With the weight of this new stillness on it, this seal.I never asked Sunny for news of him or got any, during all the years of our dwindling friendship.Lesson 6 Para. 41The news of the death of my pig traveled fast and far, and I received many expressions of sympathy from friends and neighbors, for no one took the event lightly and the premature expiration of a pig is, I soon discovered, a departure which the community marks solemnly on its calendar, a sorrow in which it feels fully involved. I have written this account in penitence and in grief, as a man who failed to raise his pig, and to explain my deviation from the classic course of so many raised pigs. The grave in the woods is unmarked, but Fred can direct the mourner to it unerringly and with immense good will, and I know he and I shall often revisit it, singly and together, in seasons of reflection and despair, on flagless memorial days of our own choosing.Lesson 7 Para. 1-Para. 2We observe today not a victory of party, but a celebration of freedom—symbolizing an end, as well as a beginning—signifying renewal, as well as change. For I have sworn before you and Almighty God the same solemn oath our forebears prescribed nearly a century and three quarters ago.The world is very different now. For man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of human poverty and all forms of human life. And yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forebears fought are still at issue around the globe—the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state, but from the hand of God.Lesson 7 Para.3- Para. 5We dare not forget today that we are the heirs of that first revolution. Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans—born in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage—and unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoing of those human rights to which this Nation has always been committed, and to which we are committed today at home and around the world.Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, in order to assure the survival and the success of liberty.This much we pledge—and more.Lesson 7 Para. 24In the long history of the world, only a few generations have been granted the role of defending freedom in its hour of maximum danger. I do not shrink from this responsibility—I welcome it. I do not believe that any of us would exchange places with any other people or any other generation. The energy, the faith, the devotion which we bring to this endeavor will light our country and all who serve it—and the glow from that fire can truly light the world.Lesson 7 P ara. 25- P ara. 27And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country.My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man.Finally, whether you are citizens of America or citizens of the world, ask of us the same high standards of strength and sacrifice which we ask of you. With a good conscience our only sure reward, with history the final judge of our deeds, let us go forth to lead the land we love, asking His blessing and His help, but knowing that here on earth God's work must truly be our own.Lesson 8 Para. 6They rose when she entered—a small, fat woman in black, with a thin gold chain descending to her waist and vanishing into her belt, leaning on an ebony cane with a tarnished gold head. Her skeleton was small and spare; perhaps that was why what would have been merely plumpness in another was obesity in her. She looked bloated, like a body long submerged in motionless water, and of that pallid hue. Her eyes, lost in the fatty ridges of her face, looked like two small pieces of coal pressed into a lump of dough as they moved from one face to another while the visitors stated their errand.。

适合高中生背诵的英语短文

适合高中生背诵的英语短文The Force of HabitsHabits, whether good or bad, are gradually formed. The more we do a thing, the more we tend to like doing it; and if we do not continue to do it, we feel uncomfortable. This is called the force of habits, and the force of habits should be fought against.This applies even to such good things as work or rest. Some people form a bad habit of working too much, and others of idling too much. Bad habits, once formed, are difficult to get rid of.The wise man always rememb ers to check any bad habit. He warns himself “I am now becoming idle” or “I like too many sweets” or “I smoke too much”. And then adds, “I will get myself out of this bad habit at once.”The Way to Achieve SuccessMany people say that they owe much of it to the cultivation of certain good habits in early life. In forming good habits, I think we should pay attention to four things, that is honesty, industry, enthusiasm and thrift.“Honesty is the best policy.” This is a proverb to which we must pay attention. There are so many temptations in society that through a little carelessness we may go astray. But when we are honest, people will not be dishonest to us.Industry gives every man and woman, every boy and girl, proper work to do. To do nothing is going to ruin oneself.Enthusiasm is a great force. One’s soul will expand if one devotes oneself to a noble cause. The difficulties in our way are tremendous, but what can we not accomplish, if with enthusiasm?There are many proverbs, which set forth the advantages of thrift. Since we live in the orld in which money is a very powerful thing, we should always try to save a portion of our earnings for future use.These are the four things to which we must pay attention. It is only by this way that we can achieve success.The DictionaryThe dictionary is a living teacher. Whenever you come across a new word, just consult it and you will get a clear definition. Every student, whether attending school or self-taught, should always have a dictionary at hand. As a study aid, it is convenient, inexpensive and almost omniscient (all-knowing).Language skills will develop with your constant use of various dictionaries. The more you use them, the more familiar you will become with them. Sooner or later, you will be quite skilled in finding the page, scanning the entries and locating the exact meanings of the new words. But you should have one thing in mind. As a language student, you can never become too much attached to dictionaries; basic language skills do not come from dictionaries, but from your practice. Expose yourself to the language by listening, speaking, reading and writing more, and that is the only way to the mastery of a language.On LearningLearning is one’s own business, which cannot rely on others. As we know, learning is a process of accumulating knowledge. It is one’s life-long task, which cannot be accomplished in one move. A successful learner is an independent one who has both an indomitable (unyielding) will and amazing endurance. He will try to discover his own way of learning. Instead of waiting for the teacher’s help, he will make efforts to create favorable conditions on his own initiative. It will certainly be of great help, if there is good environment, sufficient books and equipment, as well as instructions from teacher and beneficial friends. But even if one has got all these favorable conditions, one cannot be sure to succeed in learning.So the most important factor in learning consists in one’s own effort. To le arn is rather a painstaking and persevering business. Many a man is a failure because he cannot bear such indispensable hardships. Unremitting (never stopping) efforts can compensate for the lack of talents and thus enable one to get considerable progress in learning.Is Failure a Bad Thing?Failure is a common occurrence (happening) in our daily life. Whatever we do, there are always two possible results: success or failure. Although everyone wants to succeed in what he tries, sometimes failure can’t be avoided.Different people hold different attitudes towards failure. When faced with it, some can stand up to it, draw a useful lesson from it and try their best to fulfill what they are determined to do. Others, however, lose heart and give in. They do nothing but complain about themselves and objective conditions.As a popular saying goes, “Failure teaches success.” In my opinion, what really counts is not the failure itself, but the proper attitude we should take after it. I trust that as long as we keep to what is right and correct what is wrong, that is to say, learn a lesson from failure, we will be certain to succeed. So I am of the opinion that failure is not a bad thing.On Today’s EducationI think one of the main problems with today’s e ducation is that too much emphasis is placed on test score. It has become the most important criterion (standard) for college enrollment. A student, however creative and intelligent, will not be admitted into a college for his total scores are just one point less than required. It is also on of the crucial (decisive) factors either in job assignment or in employment competitions.The competition for high scores among students becomes intense. Students find themselves concentrating more on strategies to achieve high scores than on acquiring the knowledge. They will play truant (stay away from) of some subsidiary (less important) courses and skip over the substance, which will not be tested on.Teachers are apt to give their students high scores. As their job is judged mainly by the students’ performance in terms of scores, some teachers tend to set easy papers to test their students on or narrow down the scope of the exam, even give them the hints to exams, or favor their students with higher scores.As a result, the competition for high scores becomes so intense that it actually affects our education results.Knowledge and PowerKnowledge and power are the two things most desired by man. There is close connection between these two things. The man, having done his best in acquiring knowledge, will easily get a high position and perform it successfully.Power depends on knowledge. Knowledge to power is just like a compass to a ship, by which her sailing is made safely across an unknown ocean. A great statesman or a learned scholar can render (give) his good services to his country just because he has perfect and profound knowledge.Power only follows knowledge. A man cannot do anything well unless he has some information as how to do it well. A man will sometimes lose his way in a strange land; an apprentice cannot produce any delicate work. Why are these so? Because they are in want of knowledge. If the apprentice wishes to produce good work, he must pay attention to his instructor’s advice.We are all the future masters of our country. Our country needs our services. How can we fulfill our future tasks? To get more knowledge is the only answer.Life Is StruggleEverything in the world is in constant struggle. Struggle is in a sense of the competition in natural selection among organisms.Animals and plants struggle for their existence. Nature provides them with weapons for that struggle. Lions have claws; fish have scales; roses have thorns. They use these weapons for the unavoidable war of existence. Nature also orders us to struggle; when we obey the nature, we win our existence.The result of struggle is the evolution of a better society. In order to surpass the others, one has to devote himself to what he does. If every individual does so, the society will make progress.Struggle is inevitable. But we should struggle with sportsmanship, not to stand in the way of others in order to achieve our own success. It is only by struggling in such a way, mankind will see a world getting more glorious day by day.SuccessSuccess is a lousy (very bad) teacher. It seduces (tempt) smart people into thinking they can’t lose. And it’s an unreliable guide to the future. What seems the perfect business plan or latest technology today may soon be out-of-date.Usually winning lottery (彩票)is thought to be one’s luck. Many people like to try their luck.One of the lottery’s new millionaires gave an interview on television. When he was asked by the reporter how he had picked his winning numbers, he said that while “two of the six num bers he just pulled for no particular reason.” As for the other four numbers, he used family birth dates. “ So, you see,” he boasted（自夸）, “Winning the lottery is not all just luck.”Time Is Money“Time is money.” This saying means that time is very valuable.But time is more valuable than money. The money we have lost can be gained again,but the time we have wasted cannot be regained. Moreover, sometimes persons can exist without money, but nothing can be done without time, just as no one can live without air.Despite being so valuable, time is often neglected by men. Since time is an invisible thing, men often waste their time unconsciously（无意地）. Without anything to do, they may gossip from morning till night.Man can live only at most to about 100 years. It seems fairly long, but in fact it is rather short. We often say “How quickly time flies!” How many things can a man accomplish in such a short period? Hence we should use the valuable time properly to do our work. We will race with it. We will study and work hard. Never waste a little bit of it.Try to Be a Good StudentPerhaps it is the dream of everyone to be a good student at school, but quite a few students feel at a loss on how to make it. In my opinion it is rather easy if you can act on the following points.First of all, make full use of your time and work hard. Don’t put off till tomorrow what should be done today, as time past will never come back. The fast developing society requires adequate knowledge, which presses us to spare no efforts to study. Of course, your hard work will be rewarded one day.Secondly, use your own head and present your point of view. Credulous（轻信的）attitude will only make you take anything for granted. With your own judgment you will be able to tell right from wrong and set up your own theory.Thirdly, set aside enough time for relaxation, entertainment, etc. don’t ignore the harm of all work and no play. Proper sports will build up your body and improve the efficiency of your studying.To be a good student is easier said than done, for it needs a student’s consistent efforts. But nothing is difficult to a man if he puts his heart into it.We Have Only One WorldWhen industries grow, pollution also grows. Today the problem of environment has become more and more important. The world population is rising so quickly that the world has become too crowded. We are using up our natural resources too quickly and at the same time we are polluting our environment with dangerous chemicals. If we don’t take action immediately, then we will destroy our only world.Man has made great progress in environment protection. Government of many countries has established laws to protect the forest and sea resource and to stop the environmental pollution.Still more measures should be taken to solve the problem. First, we should start by educating the public about the hazards of pollution. The government on its part should also design stricter laws. This is not only for our own generation but also for the future generation to come. It is necessary to protect our nature environment. We must begin now to protect our only world.Make The Best Use of Our LandIt is the land that has been providing us with everything we need for centuries. In other words, almost everything we use daily comes from the land directly or indirectly. The food,clothes, houses, even the books and furniture are all supplied by the land. But the limited land is decreasing at a surprising speed. With the expanding of the cities, the development of the industry and over population, lots of large pieces of good farmland are being turned into residential areas with many houses and apartment buildings, or industrial areas, or warehouses.Therefore some measures must be taken to stop the abusing of our farmland. On the other hand, we should let everyone realize the danger of being short of land. And also we should educate them how to make better use of our land.Sports and GamesSports and games do a lot of good to our health. They can make us strong, prevent us from getting too fat, and keep healthy and fit. Especially they can be of great value to people who work with their brains most of the day, for sports and games give people valuable practice in exercising the body.What’s more, they make our life richer and more colourful. If we do not have a strong body, we will find it hard to do whatever we want. So persons of all ages enjoy watching and taking part in various kinds of sports-track and fields, swimming, skating, football, volleyball and basketball, etc.Sports and games are also very useful in character training. They demand not only physical skills and strength but also courage, endurance, discipline and usually teamwork. For boys and girls, what is learned in the playground often has a deep effect on their character. If each of them learns to work for his team and not for himself on the football field, he will later find it natural to work for the good of his country instead of only for his own benefit.A healthy citizen makes a strong country. Let’s all take part in sports and games.Where do you like to live, in the city or in the country?Most cities are centers of economy, trade, transportation or culture. With the development of economy and society, more and more people have flooded into the cities, which makes the scale of the cities larger and larger. Surely, it is very convenient for shopping, education, business and so on. But it also has many disadvantages: the large population makes it crowded in each corner of the city; the big factories, too many cars, buses and trucks pollute the clean air; too much noise can make people mad. To live in the city, one e ven can’t get enough room for living.To live in the country is another thing. You can breathe the fresh air cheerfully, own a spacious house with a big backyard, and relax yourself in quietness. But when you want to go shopping, or take your child to school, perhaps you will complain about its inconvenient transportation, its remoteness…I am an ordinary person. I am always longing for the peaceful idyllic（田园诗般的）life of the countryside.The World is Getting Smaller and SmallerIn ancient times, pe ople’s only transportation means were their feet. So it was rather difficult for them to travel from one place to another. As a result, the world was too big for them to understand.With the development of modern science and technology, more and more transportation means appear: bicycle, bus, etc. They carry goods and passengers to and from every corner of the world. And they shorten the distance between people. With the help of these modern facilities, people all over the world can get in constant touch with each other.So it’s easier for people from different nations to understand each other, to communicate with each other. Thus, this world is getting smaller and smaller, just like one big family.Use of the TimeA man’s life occupies, at best, but a limited space of time; every bit of time wasted in idleness means a reduction of success and prosperity to the man himself and to the world at large. The magnitude of a man’s success in life depends largely upon how he makes use of his time. Those who achieve greatness in different channels of success are, as a whole, the most hard-working people. Our famous scholar Yao and Shun wasted not a single minute, while Da Yu, our great emperor, valued even the briefest space of time; their accomplishments stand out in our history in bold relief.If we wish to do something useful, the sure way to success is to turn every minute that we may have at our disposal（可支配的）.The old hours that we have after our daily work are the best time for reading. There is a great deal of wisdom locked up in books. Nowhere else can we find such a rich spring of knowledge for quenching（satisfy止渴）our thirst.Of course, different people follow different occupations. They do not need the same sort of information. Here they must make their own choice to get the books best suited to their particular needs. The time spent in such reading will add greatly to their stock of knowledge and prepare them for greater work in their respective fields of activity. When the reading habit is once formed, they will enjoy reading far more than they do anything else.Build up Good HobbiesEverybody has his own hobbies: some are fond of collecting stamps, coins, etc., some like swimming, and there are some who like reading or music ---- all these are of good hobbies.Nowadays, most teenagers are crazy about “hit-song”. From those songs we can learn many phrases, which we cannot find in books. Although teenagers like those songs very much, adults dislike them.And if they indulge in them, it would be a waste both of time and money. This should not be considered as a good hobby. The worst hobbies of all are smoking and gambling. Smoking harms our bodies. Some men like to smoke in public places, and do not care about other people’s feelings. Gambling will make you lose everything. You may lose your temper, money and friendship. Friendship is the thing that money cannot buy. To lose a friend is easy but to build up a friendship is hard.So, why don’t we play something that cannot hurt others and which is worthwhile to us? For good hobbies, like stamp collecting and reading can help us broaden our knowledge, music can make us happy, and sports can keep us in good physical condition. So why not take the good and discard the bad?Good MannersGood manners do not come naturally, for they have to be learnt. If children were not told and shown how to behave politely, they would grow up rough and rude like savages.Good manners are not the same in all countries. However different good manners may be in different places, the principle of good manners is always the same everywhere. It is consideration for the feelings of others. Good manners are the mark of a gentleman, and a real gentleman always tries to consider other people’s feelings. They will not say things that will hurt others; they will not speak in a rude way to offend them. When they are with others, they know what they do not like.So good manners are really a form of unselfishness. No one can have really good manners who is selfish and conceited, and who always wants his own way and seeks his own comfort. They may be outwardly polite, but they will not have the spirit of good manners.Is Money the Road to Happiness?In the modern society, quite a few people make money a target for pursuit, as they believe money is the road to happiness. Is that the case? Does money really make the matter go? I don’t agree to this opinion. Of course, we can’t live without money because it is the currency in circulation with which we can buy what we need in daily life. But money doesn’t mean everything in the world, such as happiness. The factors that contribute to happiness are unpredictable（出乎意料的）. Those who have money to burn are not necessarily living a happy life while those who lack physical needs may be happier than the rich.People once said that money is the source of evil. It is true to some extent. To catch hold of money, people would rather pay any price ---- to steal, to rob, to commit murder and even to aggress another country. Sometimes money can drive people crazy and kill them. In that case how can money is the road to happiness!On Making FriendsAs a human being, one can hardly do anything without a friend. Helping one out of trouble and bringing happiness to a lonely heart, a true friend may shed (spread) sunshine and love on one’s life. A friend will help you find out and overcome an overlooked（忽略的）shortcoming, so that you can make progress and have success in your work or study. All the splendor（辉煌）in the world is not worth a good friend.True friendship is like an in-time rain falling on the dry land. True friends are not those who like to eat or drink together with you, but those who concern more about your needs, growth, successes and failures. They will never flee for their own sake when faced with a great danger. Just as the old saying puts it, “A friend in need is a friend indeed.”I like making friends. In order to make true friends, I will trust others, following their advice and leading a hand whenever they need help. I like to make friends with those who have the same interests and ideas with me, but not those who are boastful (full of self-praise), aimless, narrow-minded or selfish. Once I make friends with someone, I hope that the friendship will last all through my life.FateMany people believe that they are fated, or destined（注定）to a certain life. For example, if they are very poor or very ill, they say that it is because they were born to be poor or ill and there is nothing they can do about it. But in my opinion, people have more control than that over their lives. Maybe they didn’t work hard enough to make money or didn’t take proper care of themselves. By blaming their condition on fate, they are avoiding responsibility for their behavior.I think that for the most part of each person makes his own fate. If you are not satisfied with your own life, don’t accept it by bla ming it on fate. Change it! If you really want to do it, you can! Set your goal and work toward it. Don’t wait for fate to bring you success because it won’t happen. Fate is in your own hands! Go out and make yourself successful, rich and happy. Then you c an’t be pound of your accomplishment.We Are Young But OnceMany young girls like to copy grown-ups. They wear high-heels, paint their faces, dress in tight clothes and all that burden. They willingly let tight clothes suffocate（闷死；窒息）their breathing, high-heels hinder（阻碍）their walking, and make-ups mar their natural beauty. They think they equal adults by using those stuff, and look down upon their counterparts as childish, who incidentally do not care much to over-act their age.In fact, one cannot be considered as a grown-up just by appearance. It acquires more, such as maturity of thought, which can only be seasoned by time.Youth is indeed a very precious gift, and remember, everyone is young only once. While we still have youth with us, why should we restrict ourselves from enjoying it to our heart’s content by attempting to be much older than we really are?Chances once lost may never come again, and youth definitely will not. Once it is over, real life requests our experience, and responsibilities await us with graveness. Our life will never be as free and blissful as we are today. Our present tasks in life are light. Our hearts are still full of youthful spirits and enthusiasm. So while we are still in the flower of life, why do we not gather the “rose-buds” of youth before they wither away（凋谢）？CourageMany years ago, when I worked as a volunteer of Stanford Hospital, I got to know a little girl named Liza who was suffering from a rare and serious disease. He only chance of recovery appeared to be a blood transfusion from her five-year-old brother, who had miraculously survived the same disease and had developed the antibodies needed to combat the illness.The doctor explained the situation to her little brother, and asked the boy if he would be willing to give his blood to his sister. I saw him hesitate for only a moment before taking a deep breath and saying, “Yes, I’ll do if it will save Liza.”As the transfusion progressed, he lay in bed next to his sister and smiled, as we all did, seeing the color returning to her cheeks. Then his face grew pale and his smile faded. He looked up at the doctor and asked in a trembling voice, “Will I start to die right away?”Being young, the boy had misunderstood the doctor. He thought he was going to have to give her all his blood.。

高中英语会考安徽作文必考例句

高中英语会考安徽作文必考例句The English language exam in Anhui province is a crucial assessment that high school students must face. As a significant part of the exam, the writing section requires candidates to demonstrate their proficiency in crafting coherent and well-structured essays. One of the key elements of this section is the inclusion of sample sentences, which not only showcase the students' command of grammar and vocabulary but also reflect their ability to effectively convey their ideas.The importance of sample sentences in the Anhui province English exam cannot be overstated. These carefully selected sentences serve as the foundation upon which students can build their written responses. They provide a framework for demonstrating their understanding of complex grammatical structures, their ability to use appropriate vocabulary, and their capacity to construct logical and persuasive arguments.One of the most common types of sample sentences found in the Anhui province English exam is the use of idiomatic expressions.Idiomatic expressions are phrases that have a meaning distinct from the literal interpretation of the individual words. These expressions are often culturally specific and can add depth and nuance to a student's writing. For example, the sentence "It's raining cats and dogs" does not literally mean that felines and canines are falling from the sky, but rather conveys the idea of heavy rainfall. Mastering the use of such expressions can greatly enhance a student's written communication skills and demonstrate their cultural awareness.Another crucial aspect of the sample sentences in the Anhui province English exam is the use of transitional phrases. Transitional phrases are words or phrases that help to guide the reader through the flow of an essay, ensuring a smooth and coherent progression of ideas. Examples of such phrases include "in addition," "on the other hand," and "in conclusion." By incorporating these transitional elements into their sample sentences, students can showcase their ability to organize their thoughts and create a logical, well-structured essay.In addition to idiomatic expressions and transitional phrases, the Anhui province English exam often includes sample sentences that require the use of complex grammatical structures. These structures may include subordinate clauses, parallel construction, or the correct use of verb tenses. Mastering these grammatical elements is essential for students to demonstrate their command of the English language and their ability to express themselves with precision andclarity.One example of a sample sentence that requires the use of a complex grammatical structure is "Although the weather was rainy, the hikers decided to continue their journey." This sentence includes a subordinate clause ("Although the weather was rainy") that sets up a contrast with the main clause ("the hikers decided to continue their journey"). By correctly using the subordinate clause and maintaining subject-verb agreement, students can showcase their understanding of complex sentence structures and their ability to convey nuanced ideas.Furthermore, the Anhui province English exam often includes sample sentences that require the use of specific vocabulary words or phrases. These words and phrases may be related to a particular theme or subject matter, such as science, technology, or current events. By incorporating these specialized terms into their sample sentences, students can demonstrate their breadth of knowledge and their ability to use language precisely and appropriately.For instance, a sample sentence might include the phrase "sustainable development," which refers to the concept of economic and social progress that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. By using this term correctly in a sentence, students canshowcase their understanding of environmental and social issues, as well as their ability to communicate complex ideas effectively.In conclusion, the sample sentences in the Anhui province English exam are a crucial component of the writing section, as they allow students to showcase their command of the English language, their ability to organize their thoughts, and their capacity to communicate complex ideas effectively. By mastering the use of idiomatic expressions, transitional phrases, complex grammatical structures, and specialized vocabulary, students can enhance their chances of success in this important assessment and demonstrate their readiness for the challenges of higher education and the professional world.。

高中英语现代文背诵篇章 41 American black bears素材

41 American black bearsAmerican black bears appear in a variety of colors despite their name. In the eastern part of their range, most of these brown, red, or even yellow coats. To the north, the black bear is actually gray or white in color. Even in the same litter, both brown and black furred bears may be born.Black bears are the smallest of all American bears, ranging in length from five to six feet, weighing from three hundred to five hundred pounds their eyes and ears are small and their eyesight and hearing are not as good as their sense of smell.Like all bears, the black bear is timid, clumsy, and rarely dangerous, but if attacked, most can climb trees and cover ground at great speeds. When angry or frightened, it is a formidable enemy.Black bears feed on leaves, herbs. Fruit, berries, insects, fish, and even larger animals. One of the most interesting characteristics of bears, including the black bear, is their winter sleep. Unlike squirrels, woodchucks, and many other woodland animals, bears do not actually hibernate. Although the bear does not during the winter moths, sustaining itself from body fat, its temperature remains almost normal, and it breathes regularly four or five times per minute.Most black bears live alone, except during mating season. They prefer to live in caves, hollow logs, or dense thickets. A little of one to four cubs is born in January or February after a gestation period of six to nine months, and they remain with their mother until they are fully grown or about one and a half years old. Black bears can live as long as thirty years in the wild, and even longer in game preserves set aside for them.。

This advantage was deemed necessary because of Britain’s superior sea skills and technology because of Britain’s superior sea skills and technology, and also because Britain would be fighting a defensive war, allowing it to win with fewer forces.

高中英语现代文背诵篇章44ObtainingFreshwaterfromicebergs素材

44 Obtaining Fresh water from icebergsThe concept of obtaining fresh water from icebergs that are towed to populated areas and arid regions of the world was once treated as a joke more appropriate to cartoons than real life. But now it is being considered quite seriously by many nations, especially since scientists have warned that the human race will outgrow its fresh water supply faster than it runs out of food.Glaciers are a possible source of fresh water that has been overlooked until recently. Three-quarters of the Earth’s fresh water supply is still tied up in glacial ice, a reservoir of untapped fresh water so immense that it could sustain all the rivers of the world for 1,000 years. Floating on the oceans every year are 7,659 trillion metric tons of ice encased in 10000 icebergs that break away from the polar ice caps, more than ninety percent of them from Antarctica.Huge glaciers that stretch over the shallow continental shelf give birth to icebergs throughout the year. Icebergs are not like sea ice, which is formed when the sea itself freezes, rather, they are formed entirely on land, breaking off when glaciers spread over the sea. As they drift away from the polar region, icebergs sometimes move mysteriously in a direction opposite to the wind, pulled by subsurface currents. Because they melt more slowly than smaller pieces of ice, icebergs have been known to drift as far north as 35 degrees south of the equator in the Atlantic Ocean. To corral them and steer them to parts of the world where they are needed would not be too difficult.The difficulty arises in other technical matters, such as the prevention of rapid melting in warmer climates and the funneling of fresh water to shore in great volume. But even if the icebergs lost half of their volume in towing, the water they could provide would be far cheaper than that produced by desalinization, or removing salt from water.。
