英语四级阅读理解考前必练及答案Method of Scientific InquiryWhy the inductive and mathematical sciences, after their first rapid development at theculmination of Greek civilization, advanced so slowly for two thousand years—and why in thefollowing two hundred years a knowledge of natural and mathematical science has accumulated,which so vastly exceeds all that was previously known that these sciences may be justlyregarded as the products of our own times—are questions which have interested the modernphilosopher not less than the objects with which these sciences are more immediatelyconversant. Was it the employment of a new method of research, or in the exercise of greatervirtue in the use of the old methods, that this singular modern phenomenon had its origin?Was the long period one of arrested development, and is the modern era one of normal growth?Or should we ascribe the characteristics of both periods to so-called historical accidents—tothe influence of conjunctions in circumstances of which no explanation is possible, save in theomnipotence and wisdom of a guiding Providence?The explanation which has become commonplace, that the ancients employed deductionchiefly in their scientific inquiries, while the moderns employ induction, proves to be toonarrow, and fails upon close examination to point with sufficient distinctness the contrastthat is evident between ancient and modern scientific doctrines and inquiries. For all knowledgeis founded on observation, and proceeds from this by analysis, by synthesis and analysis,by induction anddeduction, and if possible by verification, or by new appeals toobservation under the guidance of deduction—by steps which are indeed correlative parts ofone method; and the ancient sciences afford examples of every one of these methods, or partsof one method, which have been generalized from the examples of science.A failure to employ or to employ adequately any one of these partial methods, animperfection in the arts and resources of observation and experiment, carelessness inobservation, neglect of relevant facts, by appeal to experiment and observation—these arethe faults which cause all failures to ascertain truth, whether among the ancients or themoderns; but this statement does not explain why the modern is possessed of a greatervirtue, and by what means he attained his superiority. Much less does it explain the suddengrowth of science in recent times.The attempt to discover the explanation of this phenomenon in the antithesis of “facts” and“theories” or “facts” and “ideas”—in the neglect among the ancients of the former, and their tooexclusive attention to the latter—proves also to be too narrow, as well as open to the charge ofvagueness. For in the first place, the antithesis is not complete. Facts and theories are notcoordinate species. Theories, if true, are facts—a particular class of facts indeed, generallycomplex, and if a logical connection subsists between their constituents, have all the positiveattributes of theories.Nevertheless, this distinction, however inadequate it may be to explain the source of truemethod in science, is well founded, and connotes an important character in truemethod. A factis a proposition of simple. A theory, on the other hand, if true has all the characteristics of afact, except that its verification is possible only by indirect, remote, and difficult means. Toconvert theories into facts is to add simple verification, and the theory thus acquires the fullcharacteristics of a fact.1. The title that best expresses the ideas of thispassage is[A]. Philosophy of mathematics. [B]. The RecentGrowth in Science.[C]. The Verification of Facts. [C]. Methods of Scientific Inquiry.2. According to the author, one possible reason for the growth of science during thedays of the ancient Greeks and in modern times is[A]. the similarity between the two periods.[B]. that it was an act of God.[C]. that both tried to develop the inductive method.[D]. due to the decline of the deductive method.3. The difference between “fact” and “theory”[A]. is that the latter needs confirmation.[B]. rests on the simplicity of the former.[C]. is the difference between the modern scientists and the ancient Greeks.[D]. helps us to understand the deductive method.4. According to the author, mathematics is[A]. an inductive science. [B]. in need of simple verification.[C]. a deductive science. [D]. based on fact and theory.5. The statement “Theories are facts” may be called.[A]. a metaphor. [B]. a paradox.[C]. an appraisal of the inductive and deductive methods.[D]. a pun.词汇1. inductive 归纳法induction n.归纳法2. deductive 演绎法 deduction n 演绎法3. culmination 到达顶/极点4. conversant (with) 熟悉的，精通的5. exercise 运用，实行，执行仪式singular 卓越的，非凡的，独一无二的6. conjunction 结合，同时发生7. omnipotence 全能，无限权/威力8.

In the early 1920s, cattle dealers often came to spend the night on Zaifang Street of Nanjimen, the Chongqing southern urban area, which is now under the Yangtze River Bridge. The cattle dealers often drove beef cows to Chongqing along the SichuanGuizhou Road. They spent the night on the south bank, crossed the river the next morning, and drove the cattle to slaughter on Zaifang Street. At that time, two brothers surnamed Ma, bought poorly sold cattle tripe and blood quite cheap, and opened a red soup tripe hot pot restaurant with tripe as the main dish on the southern section of Zaifang Street. This hot pot restaurant imitates the production and eating methods of “Shui Bakuai”, bleaching the tripe, washing and de-stemming it, and seasoning with sesame sauce and

Built for horse，carriage and foot traffic, they were usually poorly cared for and too narrow to accommodate (容纳) automobiles.With the increase in auto production, private turnpike (收费公路) companies under local authorities began to spring up and by 1921 there were 387,000 miles of paved roads. Many were built using specifications of 19th century Scottish engineers Thomas Telford and John Mac Adam (for whom the macadam surface is named), whose specifications stressed the importance of adequate drainage. Beyond that, there were no national standards for size, weight restrictions or commercial signs. During W orld W ar I, roads throughout the country were nearly destroyed by the weight of trucks. When General Eisenhower returned from Germany in 1919 after serving in the U.S. Army’s first transcontinental motor convoy (车队), he noted“The old convoy had started me thinking about good two lane highways, but Germany’s Autobahn or motorway had made me see the wisdom of broader ribbons across the land.”It would take another war before the federal government would act on a national highway system. During W orld W ar II, a tremendous increase in trucks and new roads were required. The war demonstrated how critical highways were to the defense effort. Thirteen percent of defense plants received all their supplies by truck and almost all other plants shipped more than half of their products by vehicle. The war also revealed that local control of highways had led to a confusing variety of design standards. Even federal and state highways did not follow basic standards. Some states allowed trucks up to 36,000 pounds while others restricted anything over 7,000 pounds. A government study recommended a national highway system of 33,920 miles and Congress soon passed the Federal Aid Highway Act of 1944 which called for strict centrally controlled design criteria.The interstate highway system was finally launched in 1956 and has been hailed as one of the greatest public works projects of the century. To build its 44,000mile web of highways, bridges and tunnels, hundreds of unique engineering designs and solutions had to be worked out. Consider the many geographic features of the country--- mountains, steep grades wetlands, rivers, deserts and plains. V ariables included the slope of the land, the ability of the pavement to support the road, the intensity of road use and the nature of the underlying soil. Urban areas were another problem. Innovative designs of roadways, tunnels, bridges, overpasses and interchanges that could run through or bypass urban areas soon began to weave their way across the country forever altering the face ofAmerica.Long span segmented concrete cable, stayed bridges such as Hale Boggs in Louisiana and the Sunshine Skyway in Florida and remarkable tunnels like Fort McHenry in Maryland and Mt. Baker in W ashington met many of the nation’s physical challenges. Traffic control s ystems and methods of construction developed under the interstate program soon influenced highway construction around the world and were invaluable in improving the condition of urban streets and traffic patterns.Today the interstate system links every major city in the U.S. and the U.S. with Canada and Mexico. Built with safety in mind the highways have wide lanes and shoulders dividing medians or barriers, long entry and exit lanes curves engineered for safe turns and limited access. The death rate on highways is half that of all other U.S. roads (0.86 deaths per 100 million passenger miles compared to 1.99 deaths per 100 million on all other roads).By opening the North American continent, highways have enabled consumer goods and services to reach people in remote and rural areas of the country, spurred the growth of suburbs and provided people with greater options in terms of jobs access to cultural programs, health care, and other benefits. Above all, the interstates system provides individuals with what they cherish most personal freedom of mobility.The interstate system has been an essential element of the nation’s economic growth in terms of shipping and job creation. More than 75 percent of the nation’s freight deliveries arrive by truck and most products that arrive by rail or air use interstates for the last leg of the journey by vehicle. Not only has the highway system affected the American economy by providing shipping routes, it has led to the growth of spin-off industries like service stations, motels, restaurants, and shopping centers. It has allowed the relocation of manufacturing plants and other industries from urban areas to rural.By the end of the century there was an immense network of paved roads residential streets expressways and freeways built to support millions of vehicles. The highway system was officially renamed for Eisenhower to honor his vision and leadership. The year construction began he said:“Together the united forces of our communication and transportation systems are dynamic elements in the very name we bear—United States. Without them, we would be a mere alliance of many separate parts.”注意:此部分试题请在答题卡1上作答;1. National standards for paved roads were in place by 1921.2. General Eisenhower felt that the broad German motorways made more sense than the two lane highways of America.3. It was in the 1950s that the American government finally took action to build a national highway system.4. Many of the problems presented by the country’s geographical features found solutions in innovative engineering projects.5. In spite of safety considerations, the death rate on interstate highways is still higher than that of other American roads.6. The interstate highway system provides access between major military installations in America.7. Service stations, motels and restaurants promoted the development of the interstate highway system.8-10题在答题卡1上｡Part III Listening Comprehension 35 minutesSection A注意:此部分试题请在答题卡2上作答｡11.

This strange 47 happens every five to eight years. It starts in the Pacific Ocean and is thought to be caused by a failure in the trade winds (信风) which affects the ocean currents driven by these winds. As the trade winds lessen in 48 the ocean temperatures rise causing the Peru current flowing in from the east to warm up by as much as 5℃.The warming of the ocean has far-reaching effects.

The first study to compare honesty across a range of communications media has found that people are twice as likely to tell lies in phone conversations as they are in emails. The fact that emails are automatically recorded—and can come back to haunt (困扰) you—appears to be the key to the finding.Jeff Hancock of Cornell University in Ithaca New Y ork asked 30 students to keep a communications diary for a week. In it they noted the number of conversations or email exchanges they had lasting more than 10 minutes and confessed to how many lies they told. Hancock then worked out the number of lies per conversation for each medium. He found that lies made up 14 per cent of emails 21 per cent of instant messages 27 per cent of face-to-face interactions and an astonishing 37 per cent of phone calls.His results to be presented at the conference on human computer interaction in Vienna Austria in April have surprised psychologists. Some expected e-mailers to be the biggest liars reasoning that because deception makes people uncomfortable the detachment (非直接接触) of emailing would make it easier to lie. Others expected people to lie more in face-to-face exchanges because we are most practiced at that form of communication.But Hancock says it is also crucial whether a conversation is being recorded and could be reread and whether it occurs in real time. People appear to be afraid to lie when they know the communication could later be used to hold them to account he says. This is why fewer lies appear in email than on the phone.People are also more likely to lie in real time—in an instant message or phone call say—than if they have time to think of a response says Hancock. He found many lies are spontaneous (脱口而出)responses to an unexpected demand such as “Do you like my dress﹖”Hancock hopes his research will help companies work out the best ways for their employees to communicate. For instance, the phone might be the best medium for sales where employees are encouraged to stretch the truth.

你的家人都喜欢吃什么作文英语五句话

你的家人都喜欢吃什么作文英语五句话全文共3篇示例，供读者参考篇1Food has always been an integral part of my family's life. It's not just about satisfying hunger; it's a way for us to bond, share stories, and create cherished memories together. Each member of my family has their unique preferences and quirks when it comes to their favorite dishes, making mealtime an exciting and diverse experience.Let me start with my father. He's a true connoisseur of spicy cuisine. His love for fiery flavors knows no bounds, and he can often be found adding an extra dash of chili powder or sriracha sauce to his meals. Whether it's a sizzling plate of Szechuan chicken or a bowl of steaming hot curry, his eyes light up with pure delight at the first hint of that tingling sensation on his tongue. I've witnessed him happily sweating through tears as he savors every bite, proclaiming, "The hotter, the better!"In stark contrast, my mother's taste buds lean towards the more delicate and subtle flavors. She's a firm believer in the art of balance, where each ingredient plays a harmonious role increating a symphony of flavors. Her signature dish is a delicate vegetable stir-fry, where she expertly combines crisp veggies with a light soy sauce glaze and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. She takes great pride in presenting a visually appealing and nutritious meal that not only nourishes our bodies but also soothes our souls.My older brother, on the other hand, is an unabashed carnivore. He's the kind of person who would gladly devour a 16-ounce steak without batting an eye. His idea of culinary heaven is a perfectly grilled ribeye, charred on the outside and juicy on the inside, accompanied by a loaded baked potato and a side of sautéed mushrooms. He's a firm believer that a meal isn't complete without a generous serving of protein.As for my younger sister, her love affair with food is a little more whimsical. She's the self-proclaimed "dessert queen" of our family, with an insatiable sweet tooth that knows no bounds. From decadent chocolate lava cakes to light and airy pavlovas, she approaches each sugary treat with childlike wonder and enthusiasm. Her favorite indulgence is a warm, gooey brownie topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream – a simple pleasure that never fails to bring a smile to her face.And then there's me, the self-proclaimed "adventurous eater" of the family. I'm always eager to explore new cuisines and experiment with unique flavor combinations. Whether it's trying out a trendy fusion restaurant or recreating an exotic dish from a far-flung corner of the world, I find joy in the culinary journey itself. My current obsession is crafting the perfect bowl of ramen, with a rich, umami-packed broth, perfectly cooked noodles, and an array of toppings that transport me to the bustling streets of Tokyo.Despite our diverse tastes, one thing remains constant – our family meals are always filled with laughter, love, and an abundance of stories to share. It's during these precious moments that we truly connect, putting aside the hustle and bustle of daily life to savor not just the food on our plates, but the company of those we hold dear.In the end, food is more than just sustenance; it's a language that transcends borders and brings people together. And in our household, it's the glue that binds us, creating a tapestry of flavors, memories, and traditions that will be woven into the fabric of our family for generations to come.篇2What Does Your Family Love to Eat? A Delicious EssayFood brings people together like nothing else can. It's not just about nourishment – it's about sharing traditions, expressing love, and creating memories. In my family, food is absolutely central to who we are. From grandma's legendary dumplings to dad's sizzling fajitas, every dish has a backstory and a special place in our hearts. Let me take you on a mouthwatering journey through the culinary loves of my crazy clan!First up, we have to talk about grandma's Hungarian cooking. My grandma emigrated from Budapest when she was just a teenager, and she brought with her a whole treasure trove of Old World recipes. Her chicken paprikash is iconic – thick, vibrant red stew brimming with tender chicken, onions, and those luscious little dumplings she calls "nokedli." I can still picture her sturdy hands carefully rolling out the dough and expertly slicing the tiny nokedli into the bubbling pot. Whenever that paprikash aroma wafts through the house, it feels like grandma's giving us all a big hug.Then there are the pierogies – pillowy pockets of dough stuffed with potato and cheese or sauerkraut. Frying them up with caramelized onions is an act of love. My sister and I used to sit at the kitchen counter and watch in awe as grandma's fingersmoved with lightning speed, pinching and crimping dozens upon dozens of perfect pierogies. These little dumplings represent grandma's journey from Hungary to America, her grit and her devotion to keeping our heritage alive. Biting into one is like getting a warm embrace from the past.On the other side of the family, it's all about my dad's Mexican-American roots. The man is a master of Tex-Mex cuisine! His fajitas are the stuff of legends – sizzling skirt steak that's been marinated to perfection in a secret blend of spices, joined by vibrant peppers and onions on a sizzling cast iron skillet. Hearms each soft flour tortilla on the comal and has everyone assembling their own perfect fajita taco topped with shredded cheese, pico de gallo, guacamole, etc. It's a giant messy production, but that's part of the fun.Whenever he busts out the huge outdoor grill and stacks it high with chicken, steak, chorizo and vegetable skewers, you know it's going to be an epic feast. The charcoal aroma, the sizzle of the meat, the smoky flavors... It's basically heaven. And you haven't lived until you've tried his quesadillas – crispy golden tortillas stuffed with melty cheese, chicken, steak, beans, anything and everything good in this world. I'm drooling just thinking about them.My mom has her specialties too, like her famous lasagna. It's a meaty, cheesy masterpiece – layers of noodles, her signature beef and sausage ragu, gooey mozzarella and ricotta, all baked to bubbling perfection. She makes it for every major holiday and it never lasts long! Her chocolate cream pie is another showstopper, with its chocolatey pudding filling, light-as-air whipped cream and crushed Oreo crust. Let's just say I always find room for a slice, or three.No discussion of my family's favorite foods would be complete without pizza night. We have phenomenal pizza places near our house, but there's nothing quite like staying in and whipping up gigantic, carbolicious pies piled high with everyone's favorite toppings. We tend to get...creative with the toppings. My personal favorite is to load it up with spicy Italian sausage, black olives, mushrooms, banana peppers and an obscene amount of mozzarella cheese. Popping that bubbling, oozing masterpiece out of the oven is such a beautiful moment.So there you have it – a delicious tour of my family's culinary obsessions. From Hungary to Mexico to Italy, the common thread is a whole lot of love, tradition and straight-up deliciousness. Food isn't just fuel for us, it's what brings us together. It's how we share our stories, where we come from, thejourneys that made us who we are. And hey, making incredible memories around the table is just the gravy on top (or should I say sour cream on the pierogi?). I feel so lucky to come from a family of amazing cooks who pour their hearts into their recipes.I just hope I can carry on those traditions and keep the food love fest going for generations to come!篇3Everyone in my family has different tastes when it comes to food, but we all agree on one thing - we love eating tasty meals together! My dad is a big fan of grilled meats, especially steak, and he could eat it every night if my mom would let him. He always makes sure to marinate the meat for hours before cooking it on our backyard grill, letting all those delicious seasonings soak in until the steak is super flavorful and juicy.My mom, on the other hand, prefers lighter fare like salads, fish, and pasta dishes. She's really into healthy eating and is always trying out new recipes that incorporate lots of fresh veggies, lean proteins, and whole grains. One of her signature meals is a lemon herb salmon with a quinoa salad on the side - so nutritious but so delicious too! She also makes a mean veggie lasagna that has pretty much every vegetable imaginable layered between those pasta sheets.As for my little brother, he's definitely a picky eater who loves all the kids' classics - chicken nuggets, mac and cheese, pizza, you name it. He'll only eat veggies if they're hidden really well or drowned in cheese sauce. My mom is always trying to sneak things like pureed cauliflower or spinach into his meals. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't! He's happiest with a classic cheeseburger and fries in front of him.Me, I'm an adventurous eater who loves trying cuisine from all over the world. My favorite is probably Mexican food - I could eat tacos, burritos, enchiladas, you name it every single day. There's just something about the blend of spices, the fresh salsas and guacamole, the melty cheeses that gets me every time. I also really enjoy Asian dishes like Pad Thai, dumplings, and sushi. Give me all the flavor!Of course, no matter what each person's preferences are, we always make sure to have at least one family meal all together every week. It's a time to reconnect, share stories about our days, and just enjoyeach other's company over a delicious home-cooked meal. Those are the meals I'll remember most when I look back on my childhood - not necessarily what was on the plate, but the loveand laughter surrounding it with my favorite people. A good family meal nourishes the body and soul!。

写一篇你和你家人上周干了什么英语作文简短全文共6篇示例，供读者参考篇1What Me and My Family Did Last WeekLast week was really fun! We did so many cool things together as a family. Let me tell you all about it!On Monday after school, my mom picked me up and we went to the grocery store. I really like going with her because I get to help pick out the fruits and veggies. My favorite is picking the biggest, reddest apples! This time, I also got to pick a special treat since I got an A on my spelling test. I chose the chocolate chip cookies - yum!When we got home, my dad was already there from work. He works at an office downtown, but he gets to come home pretty early which is nice. My little brother was there too. He's only 3 years old, so he just stays home with our neighbor Mrs. Wilson during the day.For dinner, my mom made her famous spaghetti and meatballs. It's so delicious! She lets us help make the meatballsby rolling them into balls with our hands. My brother just kind of smushes his around, but it's still fun. After dinner, we watched a movie together as a family. We let my brother pick since it was his turn, and he picked The Lion King again! We've seen it a million times, but it's really good.On Tuesday, I had soccer practice after school. My dad is the assistant coach for my team, the Tigers. I'm not the best player, but I really try hard and my teammates are all my friends which makes it super fun. At practice, we did dribbling drills and scrimmaged a little bit. Afterwards, my dad took me for ice cream at Mr. Cooley's parlor. I got my favorite flavor - mint chocolate chip in a waffle cone!Wednesday was a pretty normal day. I just had regular school and then did my homework after I got home. For dinner, my mom made chicken stir fry which is another one of my favorites. Then we played a family game night! We started with Candyland which my brother picked. He always wants to play that one. Then my parents let me pick, so I chose Guess Who? I lost pretty quickly though, my dad is really good at that game for some reason!Thursday was an early release day from school, so I got home around lunchtime. My mom had made sandwiches for allof us and we had a picnic in the backyard. It was really nice out - sunny but not too hot. After lunch, we all played a big game of freeze tag until I had to go to my piano lesson. I've been taking lessons for 2 years now, and I'm getting pretty good! My teacher says I just need to keep practicing my scales.Finally, Friday was the best day! Every year, my grandparents who live a few hours away come into town for my mom's birthday weekend. We picked them up from the airport and then all went out for a fancy dinner at Chez Petit, one of the nicest restaurants in town. They got my mom flowers and a massage gift card for her present. I made her a handmade coupon book for things like one free hug and one night of me cleaning up my room without being asked. After dinner, we went back to our house and had cake and presents. My mom got a new purse, some jewelry, and other fun things. I gave her the coupon book and also a frame I made at school with a picture of me and her in it. She says she'll put it on her desk at work.On Saturday, my dad took me and my brother to the circus that was in town for the weekend! We got cotton candy and saw performers doing all kinds of crazy stunts and tricks. My favorite part was the dancing elephants. That night for dinner, my grandparents made their famous fried chicken recipe. Theyshowed me and my brother how to bread the chicken and everything. It was a lot harder than it looked, but it turned out great!Then on Sunday, we went to church in the morning, and I got to sit next to my grandparents and hold my grandpa's hand during the songs like I always do. He's really warm and it makes me feel cozy. After church, the whole family went to putt-putt golf at Banana Bay. I actually won against my dad and brother! But my dad says I won't beat him for long. We'll see about that! Overall, it was just a fantastic week. I'm so lucky to have such an amazing family, and we really know how to have fun together. Can't wait for more adventures next week!篇2What Me and My Family Did Last WeekLast week was really fun! We did lots of cool stuff as a family. I'm going to tell you all about it.On Monday after school, my mom took me and my little brother Tommy to the park. The weather was so nice and sunny. At the park, we played on the swings and the seesaw. Tommy is too little to go on the big kid swings, so he went on the baby swings. I helped push him and he laughed really loud. I also wentdown the big twisty slide a bunch of times. Then we had a picnic dinner of sandwiches and fruits on the blanket in the grass. Yum!Tuesday was kind of a boring day. We just stayed home after school. But in the evening, my dad's sister Aunt Karen came over. She lives pretty far away, so we don't get to see her too often. She gave me and Tommy new Lego sets as a present! Mine was a huge Lego City set with a police station and cars and everything. Tommy got a Lego Duplo set since he's still little. We played with our new Legos for hours before bedtime.On Wednesday, it was pouring rain all day long. We couldn't go outside at all. But Mom made it a fun day anyway. In the morning, she set up an indoor camp in the living room! She made a little tent out of blankets and we camped out in there. We read books, played cards, and ate camping snacks like trail mix and beef jerky. In the afternoon, we had a movie marathon and watched three movies in a row while cuddled up on the couch in our pajamas. We watched Toy Story, Finding Nemo, and The Lion King. Such classic kids' movies!Thursday after school, Dad took us to the children's museum downtown. There were so many fun interactive exhibits. In the science area, we got to do experiments and make little rockets. In the art area, we made these really cool sand paintings. And in thekids' town area, there were kid-sized stores and a pretend diner and firehouse to play in. My favorite was the diner because I got to dress up as a waiter and take orders with my notepad. Tommy's favorite was the firehouse with all the fire trucks.Then on Friday, the whole family went to visit my grandparents out in the country. They live on this big farm with tons of animals. As soon as we got there, Grandpa took us out to see all the farm animals. We got to pet the horses, cows, pigs, sheep, and chickens. We even got to feed and play with the baby animals! I held a little chick who was only a few days old. In the afternoon, Grandma taught us how to bake her famous chocolate chip cookies. We got to mix the ingredients and scoop out the dough balls. The cookies were delicious when they came out of the oven! For dinner, Grandpa grilled hamburgers and we had a picnic outside. Before we left to go home, Grandma let me pick some flowers from her garden.On Saturday morning, Mom and Dad let us have a friend over for a sleepover! My best buddy Jake came over to spend the night. For lunch, we got to make our own personal pan pizzas with all our favorite toppings. Then we spent the whole afternoon running around playing hide and seek, tag, and other games in the backyard. Later, we built a awesome fort out ofsheets and couch cushions in the basement. We watched a movie while eating popcorn and candy in our fort. It was a classic kid sleepover! Jake went home after breakfast on Sunday morning.Speaking of Sunday, that's when we went to church in the morning like we do every week. After church, the whole family went out for a big lunch at our favorite diner. I got to order chicken nuggets and fries, my favorite! Then in the afternoon, we just relaxed at home. Dad took a nap on the couch, Mom did some cleaning and laundry, and me and Tommy played some video games. We played Mario Kart on the Nintendo Switch and I beat Tommy every single race!What an awesome week we had as a family! We did so many fun things together. Playing at the park, building Legos, camping indoors, going to the museum and farm, baking cookies, sleepovers, church, and just hanging out at home. I love making all these great memories with my mom, dad, brother, aunts, uncles, grandparents, and best buddies. Family is the best! I can't wait for more fun next week.The End篇3What Me and My Family Did Last WeekLast week was really fun because we did lots of cool stuff! On Monday after school, my mom took me and my little brother Jake to the park. We played on the swings and the slide and the monkey bars. Jake tried to climb up the big kid slide but he's too little so Mom had to help him. I'm a good climber so I went up and down it like 100 times! We also played tag and I was the fastest runner so I was "safe" most of the time. Jake got tired of running after a while and just sat in the sandbox. That's okay because he's only 4. I'm 8 so I have way more energy!On Tuesday, we stayed home in the evening and had family movie night. We made popcorn and everyone got to pick a movie to watch. Jake picked Cars again because he's obsessed with that movie. I don't mind though because I like it too. Lightning McQueen is the coolest racecar! After the movies, we had ice cream sundaes with sprinkles and chocolate syrup. Yum!Wednesday was a half day at school, so in the afternoon Dad took us to the children's museum. My favorite part is the pretend grocery store where you can push little carts and put fake food in them. This time I was the cashier and Jake was the shopper. He kept trying to buy things with fake plastic money which was silly. We also went to the section with the big climb-y thing that's kindof like a maze. Jake can't do that part yet but Dad helped me all the way up to the top! Going down the swirly slide at the end was a blast.Thursday I had soccer practice after school. We did drills and played some little games. I scored 2 goals which was the most on my team! I've been practicing a lot and I'm getting way better. Mom always cheers really loud for me. When we got home, Grandma and Grandpa came over for dinner. Grandma makes the best meatloaf. She let me help mix it which was messy but fun. We had mashed potatoes too plus green beans that I didn't really like but I ate some anyway. Grandpa always tells silly jokes during dinner. After they left, we watched more TV and I got ready for bed.Finally, it was Friday which is everybody's favorite day! In the morning at school we watched a movie about sharks and learned about different kinds. I thought it was really interesting. Sharks are cool but also pretty scary. I don't want to meet one swimming in the ocean! That afternoon, Mom took us to get ice cream at my favorite place downtown. I got a double scoop of mint chocolate chip which is the best flavor. Jake had strawberry and made a giant mess as usual. We walked around the downtown area after eating our ice cream. There's lots of neatshops and things to look at. We didn't buy anything but window shopping is fun anyway.For dinner, Dad grilled hamburgers and hot dogs. We had them with chips and lemonade which is a classic summer meal. So good! After dinner, we played some board games as a family. Jake really likes Candy Land but it's a baby game so I don't love it.I beat everyone at Sorry though which was awesome. We also played War with cards until it got late and I had to get ready for bed. What a busy week!The weekend was more low-key but still enjoyable. On Saturday morning, I had my weekly soccer game. My team won 4-2 and I scored 1 of the goals! Playing sports is my favorite thing to do. After the game, we stopped for doughnuts as a treat.I had a chocolate frosted one plus an Old Fashioned. So sugary but so delicious! In the afternoon, I rode my bike and played outside while Mom and Dad did some work around the house. They made me come inside for a little while to do my homework though. No fun!Sunday was pretty chill. We went to church in the morning as usual, then had a big family lunch with my aunts, uncles, and cousins at my grandparents' house. The grown-ups watched baseball on TV after while us kids played hide and seek in thebackyard. I'm really good at hiding! Later that night, Mom and Dad rented a new movie for us so we had another family movie night at home. Butter popcorn and fuzzy blankets are the best!All in all, it was an action-packed week full of fun activities with my family. I feel very lucky to have such a loving mom, dad, and little brother to spend time with. We may sometimes bicker and get on each other's nerves (little brothers can be SO annoying!), but at the end of the day we all really care for each other. Can't wait to see what adventures next week will bring! A kid's life is never boring, that's for sure.篇4What My Family Did Last WeekLast week was so much fun! I got to do lots of cool stuff with my mom, dad, and little brother.On Monday after school, we all went to the park near our house. The weather was beautiful - sunny and warm. My brother and I played on the swings and slides for a long time. Then we had a race to see who could go across the monkey bars the fastest. I won! Mom laughed when I got stuck halfway through and had to drop down. We also played fetch with our dog Buddy. He's a golden retriever and loves chasing after tennis balls. Bythe time we got home, we were really tired from running around so much.Tuesday was my mom's birthday. In the morning before school, I helped my dad make her favorite breakfast - pancakes with chocolate chips and strawberries. We also gave her a pretty necklace we picked out together. For her birthday dinner, we went to her favorite restaurant, the Italian place downtown. I had spaghetti and meatballs, yum! The coolest part was at the end when the servers brought out a big ice cream sundae for my mom. It had multiple scoops of ice cream, whipped cream, cherries, chocolate syrup, and even a candle on top! We all sang "Happy Birthday" to her.On Wednesday, it was pouring rain all day so we had to find indoor activities. In the morning, my dad took us to the children's museum. They had these really neat science exhibits where you could do experiments. I made a little rocket ship and launched it across the room! There was also an area with building blocks where my brother and I constructed a huge tower. In the afternoon, we went to the library and stocked up on new books and movies. That night we had a family movie marathon and watched two funny movies while eating popcorn and candy.Thursday after school, my friend Timmy came over to my house to play. First we played some video games together. I beat him at Mario Kart! Then we went outside to my backyard and played basketball, trying to see who could make the most baskets. My dad joined in too. For a while, it was me and Timmy against my dad, but then my mom and brother joined Timmy's team to make it more even. We played until we were dripping in sweat! Afterwards, we relaxed by jumping on the big trampoline. Timmy's mom picked him up around dinnertime.Finally, on Friday we had a low-key day at home. In the morning, my mom took my brother and me to a kids' gym to run off some energy. We jumped into those big foam pitspits and played on all the climbing structures. It was a workout! In the afternoon, my dad set up a lemonade stand in our front yard and we took turns selling lemonade to people walking by. We made a pretty good amount of money! With our profits, we went out for frozen yogurt after dinner. I got a huge swirl cone with lots of toppings like gummy bears, chocolate syrup, and sprinkles. Yum!Saturday and Sunday were quieter, but still fun. We did lots of things around the house like yard work, cleaning, and laundry. My brother and I helped out a bit, but also had time to play with our toys and video games. On Sunday evening, we had a familygame night. We played Candy Land, Chutes and Ladders, and Guess Who. It was exciting when I won a couple of the games!Overall, last week was an absolute blast. I got to do so many fun activities and make lots of great memories with my family. We laughed, played, went on little adventures, and spent good quality time together. I can't wait for more fun weeks like that in the future!篇5What Me and My Family Did Last WeekLast week was so much fun! We did a bunch of cool stuff as a family. I'm going to tell you all about it.On Monday after school, my mom picked me up and we went straight to the grocery store. We had to get food for the whole week. I like going to the grocery store because they have those cool little kid carts that look like cars. I always try to get one of those. While we were shopping, I helped mom pick out fruits and veggies. I'm really good at finding the best apples and bananas. Mom let me put things in the cart too. When we got home, mom made tacos for dinner. Yum!Tuesday was kind of a boring day. I just had regular school and then did my homework when I got home. But later that night was my little brother's baseball game. We all went to watch him play. His team is called the Lions. I cheered really loud every time he was up to bat. He got a couple of hits which was awesome! After the game we went out for ice cream to celebrate.On Wednesday, I had an assembly at school in the morning. It was about recycling and taking care of the earth. I learned that we're supposed to recycle plastic, glass, paper and metal. When I got home from school, my dad was there. He took the afternoon off work so we could go to the beach! The beach is my favorite place. We built a really cool sandcastle and went swimming in the ocean. It was a little chilly but still fun. For dinner we had hotdogs and made s'mores around our fire pit.Thursday morning I woke up not feeling so good. I had a sore throat and stuffy nose. I had to stay home from school sick. It wasn't all bad though because I got to watch movies and my mom made me chicken noodle soup for lunch, which always makes me feel better. Later that night when my dad got home from work, he read me some of my favorite books before bedtime.I felt much better by Friday and got to go back to school. At school we had a super fun field day! There were all kinds of games and races set up on the playground. My favorite was the water balloon toss. I got soaked but it was worth it because my teammate and I came in second place! We got ribbons and everything. That night we ordered pizza to celebrate me feeling better and the field day.Saturday was probably the most fun day of the whole week. In the morning, we drove out to my aunt and uncle's house in the country. They have a huge backyard with a swimming pool, trampoline, and playground set. We spent all day outside playing and swimming. My cousins were there too so we all played together. My aunt and uncle cooked hamburgers and hotdogs on the grill for lunch. After we ate, the adults played baseball while us kids jumped on the trampoline. Before we left, we had a bonfire and made s'mores again.On Sunday we didn't do too much. We slept in late because we were all tired from the day before. For breakfast we had big pancakes with whipped cream and strawberries - my favorite! Then we just hung around the house and cleaned up. My dad worked on yard work outside while me and mom played cardsand baked cookies inside. We had a family movie night before bedtime.And that's what me and my family did last week! It was a really fun week with lots of different activities. We spent great quality time together as a family. I'm already looking forward to more fun adventures this upcoming week. Family is the best!篇6What Me and My Family Did Last WeekLast week was so much fun! We did a bunch of cool stuff. On Monday after school, my little brother Timmy and I played outside in the backyard. We played freeze tag and hide and go seek for like two hours. Timmy is only 5 so he's not very good at hiding. I always find him in like 2 minutes but he still thinks he's really tricky. It's pretty cute though.Later that night, we had tacos for dinner which are my favorite. My dad always makes them with ground beef and lots of cheese and sour cream. Yum! After dinner, we watched a movie together as a family. We saw the new Paw Patrol movie. It was really good and had a bunch of laughs. Timmy loved it! He wouldn't stop talking about how funny the puppy was.On Tuesday, it was my mom's birthday! We surprised her by decorating the living room with balloons and streamers while she was at work. When she got home from her job at the bank, we all yelled "surprise!" She looked so happy. Then we had a delicious homemade chocolate cake that my dad baked himself. He's a really good baker. The cake was so rich and yummy. We played some board games as a family that night too which was really fun.Wednesday was a pretty normal day. I just had regular school and then did my homework when I got home. In the evening though, my friend Jake came over and we played some video games together downstairs. We took turns playing this cool new racing game. His little brother Dylan played with us for a little bit too until he got mad that he kept losing. Haha.On Thursday, my mom took me and Timmy to get haircuts after school. I didn't want one at first but then I saw how cool the guy cut Timmy's hair and I decided to get one too. Now my hair looks awesome and styled. I love it! That night, we ordered pizza for dinner because my parents were too tired to cook after long days at work.Finally, it was Friday which is always the best day of the week! Me and my friends had a half day at school because of a teacherworkday in the afternoon. When we got out early, Jake, Dylan, and my other buddies Michael and Ryan came over to play. We spent pretty much the whole afternoon outside riding our bikes, playing basketball, and just running around being crazy! Michael even brought his new puppy over who was so cute and fun to play with.That night, we went to my aunt and uncle's house for a family dinner. All my cousins were there too. We had a big homecooked meal with turkey, mashed potatoes, green beans, rolls, and more. It was delicious! After we ate, all us kids went outside while the adults stayed inside drinking coffee and talking. We played hide and seek in my aunt's big backyard for a while. It was getting dark by the time we got picked up to go home. What a fun day!On Saturday, my family went to the county fair that was going on. There were so many cool rides like the ferris wheel, spinning teacups, and bumper cars. Me and Timmy went on a bunch of them but some made us feel a little sick to our stomachs. Haha! There were also lots of yummy fair food like funnel cakes, cotton candy, and candied apples. I had a corndog and some lemonade. We watched some events like a tractor pull competition, a petting zoo, and even a circus show!When we got home that night, we were all pretty tired from being out in the sun all day. We just had some leftovers for dinner and then I took a shower and went to bed early. What an awesome but exhausting day!Finally, on Sunday we just had a chill, lazy day at home. We went to church in the morning like we do every week. Then in the afternoon, my dad grilled some hamburgers and hotdogs outside on the grill for lunch. After we ate, me, Timmy, and my dad had a quick game of catch in the backyard before it was time for Timmy's nap. While he was sleeping, I read a book and my mom worked on some recipes she's writing. Later, we all watched a movie together again before getting ready for the new week ahead.That was my super fun-filled week! We did so many awesome things as a family. I made so many great memories. I'm really lucky to have such a loving family that makes time for us to do all these activities and be together. Even just the simple things we do I cherish. I can't wait for more adventures next week! Maybe we'll even go on a trip somewhere new? Who knows? But I'm sure it'll be great as long as we're together.。

批判攀比心理英语作文别人家的孩子

批判攀比心理英语作文别人家的孩子全文共3篇示例，供读者参考篇1Keeping Up with the Joneses: A Critical Look at Competitive ParentingAs students, we're all too familiar with the pressures of comparison. From test scores to extracurriculars, it often feels like a never-ending competition to outdo our peers. But this fixation on standings and rankings doesn't just impact us - it seems to have firmly taken root in the psyche of many parents as well.Increasingly, I've noticed a troubling trend of parents engaging in what I can only describe as "competitive parenting" - an unhealthy obsession with making sure their child measures up to and outperforms others. Instead of nurturing their child's unique talents and interests, these parents are hyperfocused on keeping up withthe Joneses, so to speak.It starts innocently enough. A parent might notice that little Timmy down the street is already reading at a second-grade level. Before you know it, they've got their 4-year-old enrolled inan advanced reading program, private tutors, the works. All in the hopes of ensuring their child doesn't fall behind.From there, it's a slippery slope of constant comparisons and one-upmanship. If the neighbors' daughter is taking ballet lessons, well little Sophie simply must take ballet too. And piano. And French. And coding camp. Childhood becomes a checklist of activities and milestones, all aimed at giving one's child that elusive "competitive edge."What's lost in this frenzy is any sense of what the child actually wants or enjoys. Their inherent interests and bents are pushed aside in favor of a narrow definition of accomplishment - one defined not by any innate metric, but simply by whether it allows them to exceed their peers.The consequences of this are far-reaching. For the children caught in this crossfire of comparisons, the toll on their mental health and sense of self-worth is immense. No matter how many boxes they check, there's always another goal to reach, another family to try and keep pace with.They internalize the message that their value is inextricably tied to their achievements, quantifiable skills, and ability to outcompete others from a young age. Is it any wonder rates ofanxiety, depression, and other issues are spiking among young people?Even beyond the psychological impacts, this relentless accomplishment treadmill robs kids of something even more valuable - a carefree childhood. With their schedules packed from dawn till dusk with lessons and practices, there's preciouslittle time just to play, explore, and be a kid.Childhoods meant to be filled with wonder and imagination are supplanted by a single-minded focus on resumé-building. All in the hopes of giving one's offspring a leg up over the kid next door or across town.The irony is, while these overscheduled childhoods are aimed at fostering future success, they more often promote burnout, disillusionment and resentment towards the endeavors that were once forced upon them.So where does this toxic culture of competitive parenting come from? There are many societal factors that contribute - from status anxiety to hyper-achievementculture to perhaps even a hint of keeping up appearances among theparent-group.Certainly, there are economic pressures that incentivize steering kids towards conventional markers of success from an early age. In our increasingly credentials-obsessed world, it's understandable for parents to want to give their children every possible advantage and head start.But taking it to anextreme comes at a steep cost. One that I would argue outweighs any perceived benefits of being able to say "my kid is the most accomplished 8-year-old in the neighborhood."At the heart of it is a fundamental misunderstanding ofwhat leads to positive life outcomes for kids. Study after study shows that factors like emotional intelligence, passion, creativity, and critical thinking skills are much stronger predictors of future life satisfaction and achievement than precociousacademic milestones alone.Yet this reality is often glossed over by parents fixated on checking those visible boxes of accomplishment - the more certificates, awards, and AP classes the better. They lose sight ofthe innate value of letting kids develop at their own pace, exploring their genuine interests, andlearning to think forthemselvesas opposed to simply checking off someoneelse'scurated list of activities and objectives.To be clear, I'm not advocating for households of neglect or zero enrichment opportunities for kids. There's certainly great value in exposing children to a wide range of pursuits and allowing them to cultivate skills and discover theirpassions.The problem arises when this exposure gets hijacked by anobsession with comparing one's child to others - pushing them into acookie-cutter mold of"well-roundedness" that squashes any sense of intrinsic motivation or self-directed exploration.As students, we've all been on the receiving end of these pressures in one way or another. We intimately understand the detrimental impacts of academics and extracurriculars being transformed from avenues of learning and growth into just anothercompetitive battleground.So what's the solution? How can we healthily nurture our interests and talents without getting caught up in the whirlwind of competitive parenting?First and foremost, it comes down to maintaining perspective. As the adage goes, "comparison is the thief of joy." Life is not a endless series of academic milestones and enrichmentcheckboxes. It's okay for kids to engage in unstructured play, to have downtimes, to simply be kids -without being relentlessly prodded towards some constellation of achievements.For parents, a great litmus test is to regularly check in with your child. Are the activities and lessons they're engaged in things that light them up and engage their natural curiosities and inclinations? Or are they mostly being driven by anexternal checklist of what a "successful" childhood should entail - and pressures to keep up with others?It's also crucial that we rethink our societal definition of success itself. Too often we conflate achievement with outward measures like test scores, job titles and salaries. When in reality, living awith authenticity, purpose and emotional fulfillment should be the ultimate aim.This isn't to say traditional indicators of accomplishment can't be part of the equation - only that they shouldn't be the be-all, end-all. We need to redefine whatit means to live a truly successful life, one equally valuing kindness, integrity, intellectual curiosity and community contribution.For those of us still in the depths of our own journeys as students, we can act as catalysts for change. By vocalizing our experiences with the relentlessness of academic oneupmanship,andpushing backagainst the notion that our worth is defined solely by ranks andmetrics, we can help shift the narrative.We can model for our families, peers and eventually our own children that there is more to life than ceaseless competition and resumé-stuffing. That at itscore, childhood should be a protected time ofplayfulness, exploration and freedom to developat one's ownauthentic pace.In doing so, perhaps we can cut off the cycleof competitive parenting at the root. By rejecting anddisassembling the treadmill of comparisons andhyperfocus on visible, measurable achievements, we open the doors to raisingkids eldskidsin auniquely healthful way.One that allows their inherent strengths, fascinations and personalities to shine through and development organically - notmuffled by the incessant pressures of keeping up with those mythical "Joneses" next door.篇2The Toxic Obsession with Keeping Up with the Joneses' KidsAs students, we're constantly bombarded with messages about success, achievement, and excelling. It feels like there's a never-ending competition to be the best, to have the mostimpressive resume, to get into the top schools and programs. And at the heart of this pressure cooker environment is the toxic tendency to compare our own lives and accomplishments to those of our peers.I've seen it play out countless times. Little Timmy down the street gets the lead role in the school musical, and suddenly there's a buzz of parents sizing up their own children's talents and extracurriculars. Did they start violin lessons soon enough? Maybe they should have pushed harder for that competitive travel soccer team.The Jones family renovation adds a beautiful new kitchen to their already impressive home, and neighbors start undertaking their own remodeling projects, positioning it as an "investment" but really just keeping up appearances. Meanwhile, we students pick up on all of these not-so-subtle pressures and insecurities.When my classmate Janey got into an elite summer program at a prestigious university, you could practically hear the sharp intakes of breath around the neighborhood. Whispers of "but her grades aren't even that good" and "well, her parents donated a new computer lab" made the rounds. Somehow, Janey's hard work was minimized and the accomplishment itself became acompetition - who had the better connections, more resources, or more pulling power.As the valedictorian of my class, I've experienced my own share of these envious undercurrents. My parents worked hard to give me educational opportunities, but we were certainly no wealthy family. Still, I remember overhearing a parent sarcastically musing whether I "never had time for a social life" after my academic awards were announced.The saddest part is, so much of this competitive parenting seems to stem from living vicariously through our children's achievements. Perhaps it's a way to keep score on individual self-worth in our perpetually rankings-obsessed society. But at what cost?I've seen friends crack under the relentless pressure, resorting to desperate measures like cheating, bullying, or developing mental health struggles. The standards keep getting higher and more unreasonable. Outstanding academic performance is no longer enough – you'd better be a talented artist, star athlete, and fluent polyglot too while maintaining a sparkling transcript and racking up leadership positions.And for those of us who don't have the resources or talents to "keep up with the Joneses," it breeds resentment, self-doubt,and shame. We're told from a young age that we're not enough, that we'll never measure up. The unrelenting message is that we are failing, that we don't have "what it takes" to join the elite ranks.The most grueling part of this toxic obsession is that it's perpetuated in an endless loop across generations. Students like me, who have bought into the hype about colleges and careers determining our entire life's worth, then turn around and do the exact same thing as parents. We chase ever-higher, ever-grander achievements for our own children in a way that goes far beyond giving them skills and opportunities. It becomes about ego, about status, about passing on our own shortcomings and traumas.When does it end? When will we learn that true fulfillment can't be engineered through a prizewinning transcript or meeting arbitrary milestones? That there are many paths to a meaningful life, and that in the process of turbo-charging our children to "succeed," we are decimating their childhoods and sense of self?Maybe, just maybe, if we could let go of these perverse comparisons and celebrate individual gifts rather than manufacturing accomplishments, our children would be freer.Freer to take risks, to stumble and get back up, to explore true passions, and to gauge their own self-worth through intrinsic motivations rather than external validations.Our generation has a choice. We can either perpetuate these vicious cycles of living through our children in unhealthy ways. Or we can be trailblazers, rejecting these toxic narratives about your status being determined by which Ivy League bumper sticker you can slap on your car.For now, I'll keep striving for my own enriching experiences and healthy goals as authentically as I can. But I also hope we can all step off this ridiculous treadmill, look around, and ask ourselves – are we really just keeping up with the Joneses? Or are we living lives of purpose, bravely charting our own paths forward?The answer will determine the society, communities, and childhoods we create for ourselves and those yet to come.篇3The Toxic Trap of Comparing Kids: A Cautionary TaleAs students, we're no strangers to the pressures of academic achievement. From a young age, we're conditioned to strive for top grades, excel in extracurriculars, and ultimately secure abright future. However, amid this relentless pursuit of success, an insidious mindset often takes root – the compulsive need to compare our accomplishments with those of our peers, fueled by the ever-present refrain, "but other kids..."It starts innocently enough. We overhear snippets of conversation at family gatherings, where well-meaning relatives gush about the latest accolades of their neighbor's child. "Did you know little Timmy got into that prestigious summer program?" or "Sarah's already reading at a fifth-grade level, can you believe it?" Before long, these offhand remarks plant the seeds of self-doubt, leaving us to wonder if our own achievements measure up.As we navigate the school years, the comparisons intensify. In the hallways, we're bombarded with whispers of perfect test scores, academic awards, and college acceptance letters. Social media only exacerbates the problem, providing a curated highlight reel of our peers' triumphs, meticulously crafted to inspire envy. Suddenly, our once-proud accomplishments feel diminished, overshadowed by the perceived successes of those around us.The consequences of this toxic mindset are far-reaching. For some, it breeds a crippling sense of inadequacy, underminingself-confidence and fueling anxiety disorders. Others become consumed by the relentless pursuit of validation, sacrificing their well-being on the altar of achievement. Still others succumb to the pressure, resorting to unethical means to artificially inflate their standing, from academic dishonesty to outright deceit.Perhaps the most insidious aspect of this phenomenon is its ability to blind us to the inherent value of our unique journeys. We become so fixated on matching or surpassing the accomplishments of others that we lose sight of our own passions, strengths, and aspirations. In the process, we risk sacrificing authenticity and personal growth for the hollow pursuit of perceived superiority.It's time to break free from this toxic cycle. As students, we must remind ourselves that each individual's path is inherently unique, shaped by a myriad of factors – from natural talents and learning styles to familial support systems and socioeconomic circumstances. To compare our journeys is to engage in a futile exercise, akin to judging the beauty of a rose against that of a sunflower.Instead, we must learn to celebrate the diversity of our collective experiences, recognizing that true fulfillment comes not from outperforming others, but from cultivating our ownunique potential. We must embrace the notion that success is a multifaceted concept, encompassing not only academic prowess but also emotional intelligence, creativity, resilience, and a host of other invaluable traits.Moreover, we must actively resist the temptation to define our self-worth by the accomplishments of others. Our value as individuals stems not from external validation, but from the intrinsic qualities that make us who we are – our passions, our integrity, our capacity for empathy and growth.Ultimately, the remedy lies in fostering a culture of mutual support and understanding. Rather than engaging in counterproductive comparisons, we must learn to uplift and encourage one another, celebrating our collective triumphs while acknowledging the unique challenges each of us faces.To my fellow students, I implore you: let us break free from the shackles of comparison. Let us embrace the beauty of our individual journeys, celebrating our successes while supporting and learning from one another. For it is only when we shed the burden of perceived inadequacy that we can truly soar, unleashing our full potential and leaving an indelible mark on the world around us.。

爷爷的一天生活英语作文带频度副词

爷爷的一天生活英语作文带频度副词全文共3篇示例，供读者参考篇1My Grandfather's Typical DayMy grandfather is a creature of habit and routine. He always rises promptly at 6 AM every morning without fail. Frequently, the first sounds I hear upon waking are the creaks of the old wooden floors as he putters around making his morning tea. He never skips this daily ritual of preparing a strong cup of English Breakfast tea to start his day. Occasionally, if he's feeling ambitious, he'll fry up a couple eggs or make some oatmeal as well. But the tea is a constant - he rarely misses it.After his light breakfast, my grandfather usually spends an hour or so reading the newspaper cover to cover. He pores over every section meticulously - from the headlines and editorial pages to the sports scores and crossword puzzle. Sometimeshe'll read aloud any articles he finds particularly interesting, offering his own commentary in that gravelly voice of his. Politics, history, current events - he loves it all and has incredibly strongopinions on just about every topic imaginable. Let's just say family gatherings often lead to lively debates!Around 8 AM, he typically heads outside to start his morning chores and activities. Rain or shine, hot or cold, my grandfather never fails to take his daily constitutional - a long, brisk walk around the neighborhood. He moves at an impressive clip for a man of his advanced age, arms swinging purposefully as he clocks in several miles. I frequently see him out there pounding the pavement as I'm driving to class or work. The walking helps keep his body spry and mind sharp.Upon returning home, my grandfather will usually tend to the beautiful garden and meticulously landscaped yard surrounding the family home where he's lived for over 50 years. He takes enormous pride in his little patch of paradise, carefully pruning bushes, plucking weeds, and watering his prized roses and vegetable plots. It's not uncommon to find him outdoors, shovel or rake in hand, laboring under the hot summer sun for hours on end. Seldom will you ever catch my grandfather just sitting idly by.If the weather is uncooperative for yardwork, he'll regularly turn his attention to various indoor hobbies and projects instead. He's an incredibly skilled woodworker, often craftingfinely-detailed pieces of furniture, decorations and toys for the grandchildren. With dexterous hands honed over many decades, he carefully measures, saws, sands and assembles each meticulous creation. The sharp tang of sawdust hangs permanently in the air of his cozy basement workshop. It seems he's perpetually hard at work on some intricate new masterpiece.No matter the season, lunchtime is invariably the next fixture on my grandfather's schedule. With the punctuality of a Swiss watch, he breaks for a midday meal at precisely 12 PM. He'll regularly reheat a portion of whatever my grandmother prepared for dinner the previous evening. My grandmother's good old-fashioned home cooking is one of his great pleasures in life - with hearty portions of meat, potatoes, vegetables and pie for dessert. While he dines, he never fails to tune in to the daily news program on the television, keeping abreast of current happenings. After polishing his plate clean, he'll habitually enjoy a cup of black coffee and an afternoon nap in his worn, brown recliner.Around 2 PM like clockwork, my grandfather rouses from his slumber refreshed and ready to tackle more tasks. Several days each week, he meets up with his "breakfast club" - a group of similarly aged buddies who gather at the local diner to gab, jokeand relive their glory days over endless rounds of coffee. The stories and laughter flow freely when this rowdy crew gets going, whether reminiscing about military service, careers, marriages or grandchildren. When not with his pals, he might run routine errands around town or schedule any doctor's appointments or haircuts needed to stay groomed and healthy.As the daylight starts to wane, he makes his way back home to await my grandmother's return from her part-time job as a church secretary. In the early evenings, you'll frequently find the two of them working as a team on household duties like washing dishes, doing laundry or just cleaning around the house. They move together with the effortless synchronicity of two dancers who have been perfectly partnered for over sixty years. Despite constant good-natured bickering and harmless jabs traded back and forth, it's obvious to anyone nearby how deeply they cherish this shared time together.By 7 PM, they've usually settled in for the night, in their respective recliners in the den watching the evening news programs. This remains a steadfast daily tradition carried over from when they were first newlyweds decades ago. Occasionally my grandfather will shout out a cantankerous exclamation if he disagrees with something the reporters have to say. He's seldomshy about voicing his frank opinions, no matter how controversial! As the programming winds down for the night, my grandparents will commonly turn to other entertainment like game shows or classic films from the golden age of Hollywood. Inevitably sometime between 9 and 10 o'clock, my grandfather will doze off, overcome by post-dinner sleepiness and the day's exertions. But without fail, he'll rouse again long enough to get himself to bed before the night is through.My grandfather lives with a commendable zest and structure that many of us could learn from. Though his days may seem routine, they're packed with purpose, productivity, hobbies and quality time with family and friends. He wastes none of the precious hours granted to him while staying young at heart through it all. With any luck, I'll enjoy the same joie de vivre in my golden years.篇2A Day in the Life of Grandpa - An Essay with Frequency AdverbsMy grandpa always wakes up at the crack of dawn, usually around 5 AM. He seldom hits the snooze button on his old analog alarm clock that sits on his bedside table. Occasionally, ifhe had a restless night, he might drowsily snooze for an extra ten minutes. But typically, he springs right out of bed, full of energy and ready to greet the new day.After getting dressed, he frequently takes his morning constitutional - a brisk walk around the neighborhood. He never misses this daily ritual, rain or shine. He often stops to admire Mrs. Patterson's beautiful rose garden next door. Sometimeshe'll chat briefly with Mr. Jenkins, who is regularly out tending to his prized vegetable patch. Grandpa constantly marvels at how green Mr. Jenkins' thumb seems to be.Upon returning home, grandpa routinely makes himself a hot cup of black coffee and reads the newspaper cover to cover. He pores over the headlines and meticulously works the crossword puzzle, occasionally jotting down notes in the margins. His brow furrows as he contemplates particularly devious clues. He rarely needs to consult a dictionary though - his vocabulary is extraordinarily vast.Around 8 AM, grandma customarily wake up and joins him at the kitchen table. They'll usually chat about their plans for the day over a simple breakfast of oatmeal or toast. Grandma perpetually tries to steer grandpa away from his decidedly unhealthy breakfast preferences like butter-laden biscuits orcured meats. He stubbornly indulges those cravings anyway every so often.After breakfast, grandma frequently runs errands and grandpa ordinarily spends a few hours tending to the yard and garden. He religiously mows the lawn every Saturday without fail. He continually prunes the rose bushes and painstakingly weeds the flower beds, taking great pride in their impeccably landscaped yard. Invariably, he'll spot a few pesky weeds that quickly get plucked.He routinely takes a break around noon to eat a light lunch and watch a bit of TV, usually tuning into reruns of classic shows like Gunsmoke or Bonanza. He hardly ever misses an episode. Occasionally a thought-provoking news program will capture his interest if major current events are unfolding. But generally he prefers calming entertainment over raucous reality shows oroven-baked drama serials.In the afternoons, you'll commonly find grandpa tinkering in his garage workshop. He never tires of piddling with an endless array of handyman projects and hobbies - constantly fixing lawnmowers, repairing broken appliances, building elegant birdhouses, you name it. If he's not refinishing an antiquefurniture piece, he'll habitually be organizing and reorganizing his vast tool collection that lines the garage walls.Evenings usually revolve around a hearty home-cooked meal, followed by some quality time with grandma. After supper,they'll customarily settle in the living room together. While grandma reads or does crossword puzzles, Grandpa perpetually tunes his ancient radio to baseball games or the evenings' big band show. He sporadically turns the volume knob, fretting about the crackly signal. The familiar sounds of jazz and sports commentators continuously fill the air.As nighttime approaches, grandpa regularly starts winding down for bed around 8 PM. He'll frequently indulge in a bedtime snack like a bowl of ice cream or slice of pie while watching the evening news. Despite grandma's protests, he perennially falls asleep in his recliner until being gently awoken to head up to bed by 10 PM.As I watch my beloved grandfather go about his daily rituals and routines, I'm continually struck by his incredibly consistent schedule and habits. Like clockwork, he systematically accomplishes his tasks and leisure activities with regimented order yet laidback contentment. With each repetitive passing day, he seems to savor every familiar, comfortable moment hissteadfast routine offers. It's a humbling reminder to all of us how gloriously simplistic and satisfying embracing a pattern can be.篇3A Day in the Life of My GrandfatherMy grandfather is a creature of habit, often following the same routine day after day. He rarely deviates from his typical schedule unless there are extenuating circumstances. I had the opportunity to spend a day observing him recently, and I was struck by how structured and regimented his life is.The day begins promptly at 6 am when my grandfather's alarm clock sounds. He always wakes up at this early hour, no matter what day of the week it is. After getting dressed in his usual khakis and button-down shirt, he heads to the kitchen to brew a pot of strong black coffee. He frequently has a cup or two while reading the morning newspaper, catching up on current events and the daily crossword puzzle.Around 7:30 am, my grandfather will head outside to take his daily constitutional - a brisk 2-mile walk around the neighborhood. Rain or shine, hot or cold, he seldom misses this morning ritual. The walk allows him to get some exercise and enjoy the fresh air before the day gets too hectic. He occasionallyruns into friends or neighbors also out for their morning strolls, exchanging brief pleasantries as they pass by.When he returns home around 8:30 am, my grandfather will often tend to the gardening and yard work if the weather permits. He meticulously cares for his prized rose bushes, pruning them regularly and treating them like his children. The rest of the morning is usually filled with general chores and upkeep around the house – washing windows, dusting, vacuuming, you name it. He is perpetually cleaning and tinkering to keep everything neat and in order.By noon, my grandfather has worked up an appetite and will sit down to a light lunch, commonly a salad or sandwich. He rarely eats large meals these days. After clearing his plate, he'll kick back in his favorite recliner to watch the news and let his food digest before his afternoon activities commence. He sporadically takes a brief catnap during this downtime as well.In the early afternoon hours, my grandfather regularly meets up with his card club buddies at the community center. They've been playing Gin Rummy together every Tuesday and Thursday for decades. The game is always filled with amusing trash talk and friendly competition. When he's not feeling up for cards, he'll occasionally go for a drive in his old pickup truck instead,aimlessly exploring the back roads with no particular destination in mind. He simply enjoys getting out of the house.My grandfather is back home by 5 pm to start preparing dinner. He cooks for himself almost daily, favoring hearty,old-fashioned meals like meatloaf, pot roast, or anything involving potatoes. He infrequently experiments with new recipes, preferring to stick to his trusty classics that he's mastered over the decades. Dinner is always accompanied by a finger or two of scotch on the rocks – his signature vice that he constantly indulges in moderation.After cleaning up the kitchen, my grandfather will retire to the den to watch some TV and unwind before bed. He frequently falls asleep in his chair while watching the 6 o'clock news. But he'll wake himself up around 8 pm, brush his teeth, and get ready to turn in for the night. He's usually asleep by 9 pm, rising early the next morning to repeat the same pattern all over again.To the outside observer, my grandfather's life may seem monotonous or lacking in excitement. But he finds comfort and stability in his daily rituals. He appreciates the simple things and seldom craves variety or spontaneity at this stage of his life. His days are structured, yet peaceful. Mundane, yet fulfilling. My grandfather understands that the lumdrum patterns we oftenbemoan are actually what enable us to occasionally recognize and savor life's fleeting moments of splendor. And for him, that's more than enough.。

The study, which was conducted by researchers at a university, involved 100 bilingual and 100 monolingual participants. The participants were given a series of cognitive tests, including memory tests, attention tests, and problem - solving tests.The results of the study showed that the bilingual participants performed better on all of the tests than the monolingual participants. The researchers believe that this is because bilingual people have toconstantly switch between two languages, which exercises their brains and improves their cognitive abilities.In addition, the study also found that the earlier a person learns a second language, the better their cognitive abilities will be. This is because the brain is more flexible when a person is young, and it is easier for it to adapt to new languages.40. What is the main finding of the new study? (A)A) Bilingual people have better cognitive abilities.B) Monolingual people have better cognitive abilities.C) Learning a second language is difficult.D) The brain is more flexible when young.41. How many participants were involved in the study? (C)A) 50.B) 150.C) 200.D) 250.42. Which of the following is not included in the cognitive tests? (D)A) Memory tests.B) Attention tests.C) Problem - solving tests.D) Language proficiency tests.43. Why do bilingual people have better cognitive abilities according to the researchers? (B)A) They have more language knowledge.B) They constantly switch between languages.C) They are more intelligent.D) They study harder.44. What can we learn from the study about learning a second language?(A)A) The earlier, the better.B) The later, the better.C) It doesn't matter when.D) It is too difficult to learn.Passage 2.In recent years, the sharing economy has emerged as a new economic model. The sharing economy refers to the economic activity in which people share their idle resources, such as cars, houses, and tools, through online platforms. This model has become popular because it can make full use of idle resources, reduce waste, and provide more convenient services for consumers.One of the most well - known examples of the sharing economy is ride - sharing. With ride - sharing services like Uber and Lyft, people can easily find a ride by using their smartphones. This not only saves time but also reduces the need for private cars, which can help to ease traffic congestion and reduce air pollution.Another example is home - sharing. Through platforms like Airbnb, homeowners can rent out their spare rooms or entire houses to travelers. This can provide travelers with more affordable accommodation options and also allow homeowners to earn extra income.However, the sharing economy also faces some challenges. One of the main challenges is regulation. Since the sharing economy is a relatively new model, there are currently no clear regulations in many areas. This can lead to issues such as safety concerns and unfair competition. Another challenge is trust. Since people are sharing resources with strangers, they need to trust the platforms and the other users. Building trust is an important part of the success of the sharing economy.45. What is the sharing economy? (A)A) An economic activity of sharing idle resources through online platforms.B) An economic activity of buying and selling resources.C) An economic activity of producing new resources.D) An economic activity of renting resources from companies.46. Why has the sharing economy become popular? (D)A) It can make people rich.B) It can create more jobs.C) It can promote technological innovation.D) It can make full use of idle resources and provide convenience.47. What is an example of the sharing economy? (C)A) Buying a new car.B) Building a new house.C) Using ride - sharing services.D) Working in a factory.48. What are the challenges faced by the sharing economy? (B)A) Lack of technology support.B) Regulation and trust issues.C) High cost.D) Limited market.49. Which of the following statements is true about home - sharing? (A)A) It can provide travelers with affordable accommodation.B) It is not very popular.C) It is only available in big cities.D) It is not a part of the sharing economy.四、翻译（15%）题目：中国的城市化（urbanization）将会充分释放潜在内需（domestic demand）。

IELTS复习要点

The following study hints will help you in the weeks leading up to the IELTS. Become familiar with the test as early as possible. The skills being tested in the IELTS take a period of time to build up. Cramming is not an effective study technique for IELTS.Use your study time efficiently. Study when you are fresh and, after you have planned a timetable, make sure that you keep to it. Set goals and ensure that you have adequate breaks. In the IELTS test, each of the four Band Modules — Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking — carries the same weight. Study each skill carefully and spend more time on the skills in which you feel you are weak.Be aware of the exact procedure for the test. Be very clear on the order of each section, its length and the specific question types. There are many resources available to help you practice these skills. Having a study partner or a study group is an excellent idea. Other students may raise issues that you may not have considered.Seek help from teachers, friends and native English speakers.Countdown to the testDays before the test This is not a time for intensive study. It is a time to review skills and your test technique. It is important to exercise, eat, rest and sleep well during the week in which you will take the test. Leave nothing to chance. If you do not know how to get to the test centre, try going there at a similar time one or two weeks before the real test.The night before the test You must have a good dinner and go to bed at your normal time — not too early and not too late, as you do not want to disrupt your sleep pattern if possible. Have everything ready that you need to take with you to the test so you can simply pick it up in the morning, for example, the test registration form, passport, test number, pens, pencils, erasers, etc. A pen that runs dry or a pencil that breaks can take several minutes to replace. Check before the exam exactly what articles you need. Set your alarm clock the night before or arrange a wake-up call.On the morning of the test Eat a good breakfast. You will have several hours of concentration ahead of you and you will need food and drink in the morning. You may even want to bring more food or a snack with you, especially if your speaking test is at a later time that day. You cannot, however, take food or drink into the exam room. If possible, wear a watch in case you cannot see the clock in the exam room. It is essential that you keep track of time. Give yourself plenty of time to get to the test centre. You will be required to complete a registration form and to show your passport before you enter the examination room so you must arrive at the time specified by your test centre. If you are early, you could go for a walk. If you are late, you will not be allowed to enter. Avoid the added tension of having to rush.During the test Most students at the test will feel nervous. This is quite normal. In fact, it can actually be quite helpful in terms of motivation. It may make you alert and help you to focus. The aim is for you to try to perform at your optimum level. In contrast, high levels of anxiety can affect a student's performance. However, much of this anxiety can be overcome by good preparation, familiarity with test details and a positive attitude. The examination room should be suitable for testing, that is, the lighting, ventilation and temperature should be appropriate. If you are uncomfortable because of any of these factors or if there is some other problem, such as not being able to hear the recording of the Listening Module, make sure you ask the person in charge to do something about it. For example, you may ask to change seats.Examination technique By using good examination technique you could help to improve your overall score for the IELTS test. Remember that every section is marked independently. Do not jeopardise your performance in one section just because you believe that you have done badly in another. Do not underestimate or try to predict your outcome. You may, in fact, have done better than you imagined. Focus on what you know rather than on what you don't know while you are doing the test. Ensure that you adhere to the times suggested as they usually correspond to the number of marks given for a particular question. In the Listening and Reading Modules, it is a good idea to write down an answer, even if you are not sure of it, before moving on to the next question. Many students intend to return to the answers they have omitted at the end of the test but do not have enough time to do so. Furthermore, by writing your best answer at the actual time of reading the question, you save the time you need to spend again on re-reading the question and re-acquainting yourself with the subject matter. If you are not confident about your answer, mark it in some way and return to it at the end.Do not leave any answers blank.You are not penalised for incorrect answers, so ‘guess’ wisely.Skills for the Listening Module In the IELTS Listening Module, the recording is played once only. You must, therefore, use a number of strategies to help you listen closely. There are a few main skills you will need to do well in the IELTS Listening Module: Understanding the instructions Instructions are both written on the question paper and spoken on the tape. Read and listen to every word in the instructions very carefully. Ensure that you follow them exactly and answer in the correct way.Previewing and predictingAn announcer will briefly outline: １。

专题12 七选五——备战2021年高考英语之纠错笔记系列(原卷版)

专题12 千淘万漉虽辛苦，吹尽黄沙始到金技巧1 牵线搭桥(1)重视词汇线索——代词Until relatively recently, the vast majority of human beings lived and died without ever seeing a city. The first city was probably founded no more than 5,500 years ago... In fact, nearly everyone lived on farms or in tiny rural (乡村的) villages. It was not until the 20th century that Great Britain became the first urban society in history — a society in which the majority of people live in cities and do not farm for a living.Britain was only the beginning. 2 The process of urbanization — the migration (迁移) of people from the countryside to the city — was the result of modernization, which has rapidly transformed how people live and where they live.D. Soon many other industrial nations became urban societies.【错因分析】考生容易因忽视代词线索或者没有分析清楚代词所指代的对象而误选其他答案。

【试题解析】文章的第一段说英国是第一个城市化的国家，第二段接着说英国仅仅是个开始，不久许多别的工业国家也成为城市化的社会，这里many other这个不定代词与前面的Britain呼应，因此D为正确答案。

CEN members are bound to comply with the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations which stipulate the conditions for giving this European Standard the status of a national standard without any alteration.Up-to-date lists and bibliographical references concerning such national standards may be obtained on application to the Central Secretariat or to any CEN member. This European Standard exists in three offiaal versions (English, French, German).A version in any other language made by translation under the responsibility of a CEN member into its own language and notified to the Central Secretariat has the same status as the official versions.CEN members are the national standards bodies of Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom.Page 2EN 1183 : 1997ForewordThis European Standard has been prepared byTechnical Committee CEN/TC 194, Utensils in contactwith food, the secretariat of which is held by BSI.Further European Standards are being prepared withthe following titles:EN 1184EN 1217Materials and articles in contact withfoodstuffs - Test methods fortranslucency of ceramic articlesMaterials and articles in contact withContentsForeword1 Scope2 Defrnitions3 Principle4 Apparatus5 Samples6 Proceduresfoodstuffs - Test meth,od for water 7 Expression of resultsabsorption of cera7n,ic anticlesA further standard is proposed with the following title 8 Test report Materials and articles in contact with Annex A (informative) Bibliographyfoodstuffs - Test method for crazingresistance of ceramic articlesThis European Standard shall be given the status of anational standard, either by publication of an identicaltext or by endorsement, at the latest bySeptember 1997, and conflicting national standardsshall be withdrawn at the latest by September 1997.According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations,the national standards organizations of the followingcountries are bound to implement this EuropeanStandard: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, FranceGermany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg,Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden,Switzerland and the United Kingdom.Annex B (informative) Calculation ofthermal shock endurance from test resultsPage2333ScopeThis European Standard specifies test methods forthermal shock and for thermal shock endurance forbrittle materials, for example glass, glass-ceramics andceramics intended for use in ovens or as tableware.Two test methods are described:- Test method A is used for articles known to besensitive to thermal shock;- Test method B is generally applicable.The test method to be applied depends on theintended use of the article and/or its thermal shockresistance.2 De丘ntionsFor the purpose of this European Standard, thefolloiwing definitions apply:2.1 thermal shockSudden change in temperature2.2 thermal shock endurance, AtsoValue for the resistance against sudden change in temperature corresponding to the temperaturedifference at which, for the frrst time, 50 % of the samples fail.2.3 temperature variationDifference at any given time between the temperatureat the centre of the working space of the water bath or test oven and at any other point in that working space.2.4 temperature fluctuationShort term change in temperature at any point in the working space of the water bath or test oven.3 PrincipleSamples are heated and then cooled rapidly under controlled conditions to determine their resistance to thermal shock.Thermal shock tests are repeated using increasing temperature differences until 50 % of the samples fail. The temperature difference Atso is given as the thermal shock endurance.Page 3EN 1183 : 19974.2 Hot water bath., coruprising a bath or tank capable of containing at least five times the apparent volume of the overall dimensions of the samples being tested (including the volurue of the basket) at one time; fitted with a water circulator, a thermometer and thermostatically-controlled heater capable of maintaining during all the duration of the test the water temperature to within + 2 0C of the specified upper temperature, ti.4.3 Test oven., preferably electrically heated, capable of achieving a temperature of at least 300 0C, fitted with an air circulating device to ensure that the temperature variation does not exceed + 5 0C and a thermostatic control capable of maintaining the temperature fluctuation to within + 2 0C up t0 180 0C and to within + 3 0C above 180 0C.4.4 Basket, for testing two or more samples simultaneously, made out of, or coated with, an inert material which will not damage the surface of the samples during the test procedure. The basket is capable of holding the samples in a position which ensures that air escapes and water can immediatelyenter the inside of holloware. The samples are heldseparately to allow free passage of water betweenthem. The basket is fitted with clamps to prevent thesamples from floating when immersed.NOTE. For the multiple testing of samples, the basket may be combined with an automatic device for immersing it in the hotwater bath (4.2) or oven (4.3) and transferring it to the cold water bath (4.1).4.5 Tongs, with tips protected by a head resistingmaterial such as glass or mineral wool.4.6 Gloves, gauntlet-type, ruade from a heat-resistingmaterial.4.7 Staining agentNOTE.
