英语美文欣赏篇1是你点燃了我的生命 You Light Up My LifeBe good to everyone who becomes attached to us; cherish every friend who is by our side;善待，每一个和我们结缘的人;珍惜，我们身边的每一个朋友;love everyone who walks into our life.爱，生命中，每一个和我们结缘的人。

It must be fate to get acquainted in a huge crowd of people…茫茫的人海中，相识，其实，就是缘分……I feel, the love that Osho talks about, maybe is a kind of pure love beyond the mundane world, which is full of divinity and caritas, and overflows with Buddhist allegorical words and gestures,感觉，奥修所说的，也许是一种纯净、超越世俗和男女，充满神性和佛性的博爱，弥发，一种禅性和机锋，but, it seems that I cannot see through its true meaning forev er…而我，却好像永远，都，无法参透……Maybe, I do not just “absorb” your love; but because the love overpowers me and I am unable todispute and refuse it…也许，我并不只是”接受”;而是，因为那种爱，让我，情不自禁、无法抗拒、不能拒绝……Do you know? It’s you who light up my life! And I stubbornly believe that such love can only be experienced once in my life.知道吗?是你，点燃了我的生命!而我，固执的相信，这种情感，在我的生命中，只有一次。

写英雄人物的事迹英语作文句子开头

写英雄人物的事迹英语作文句子开头全文共6篇示例，供读者参考篇1Heroes Are EverywhereDo you know what a hero is? A hero is someone who does really brave and amazing things to help others. My mom says heroes can be people we know in real life, or characters from stories. Either way, they inspire us to be our best selves.One of my favorite heroes is Rosa Parks. She was a seamstress who lived in Alabama in the 1950s. Back then, Black people had to sit in the back of the bus, while white people got the front seats. One day in 1955, Rosa was on a bus and refused to give up her seat to a white passenger. She was arrested for this, but her brave act helped spark the civil rights movement!Rosa showed that even ordinary people can do extraordinary things by standing up for justice. I really admire her courage. If I had been on that bus, I don't know if I would have been brave enough to stay seated like she did. Rosa risked going to jail because she believed racism was wrong. Thanks to her, segregated buses became illegal. What an inspiring hero!Another great hero is Malala Yousafzai from Pakistan. When Malala was just a young girl, she spoke out for girls' education even though extremist groups in her country opposed it. One day on her school bus, a gunman boarded and shot Malala in the head! But Malala survived and kept advocating for education rights after recovering.In 2014, Malala became the youngest person ever to win the Nobel Peace Prize. At age 17, she had already accomplished so much! I'm amazed by how brave and determined Malala is to keep fighting for something she believes in, no matter how dangerous. If I were in her shoes, I don't know if I could be that fearless. Malala shows that young people can be heroes too.My personal hero is a firefighter named Michelle who saved my cousin's life. One night, there was a terrible fire at my cousin's apartment building. Michelle and her crew rushed inside despite the blazing heat and thick smoke. They found my cousin trapped and unconscious, but got him out just in time before the building collapsed!Firefighters like Michelle are heroes every single day. They run towards danger when everyone else runs away. I'll never forget when Michelle visited my cousin at the hospital - he gaveher the biggest hug and thanked her for saving his life. Seeing that made me so proud and grateful for brave people like her.Those are just a few examples, but the truth is, heroes are all around us. They're the people who make selfless choices to protect and uplift others. We might not all get to beworld-famous heroes, but we can still be heroes in our own communities and lives.Who's your hero? Maybe it's a parent or grandparent who worked hard for your family. Maybe it's a friend who stuck up for you against a bully. Or maybe it's a character from a book or movie whose courage inspires you. Whoever your hero is, I hope their story fills you with strength and motivation to be kind, compassionate, and bold - just like a real-life hero.The end! I tried to capture an elementary student's voice and keep the language simple while telling inspiring stories about heroic individuals. Let me know if you need any clarification or have additional requirements.篇2A Real-Life Hero Among UsI'm going to tell you about someone who is a real hero. His name is David and he lives right here in our town. You might have even seen him around before! David is a firefighter and he has saved lots of people from fires and other dangerous situations. Pretty cool, huh?Let me start from the beginning. David has always wanted to be a firefighter ever since he was a little kid just like us. When he was young, his family's house actually caught on fire one night while everyone was sleeping. Luckily, the firefighters came really fast and got David's whole family out safely. From that day on, David knew he wanted to grow up to help people the same way those firefighters helped his family.After David finished school, he trained really hard to become a firefighter. He had to learn all about fire safety, how to use all the fire trucks and equipment, and even how to give medical help to people. It takes a lot of courage and hard work to be a firefighter! David has been working at the fire station in our town for 8 years now.You wouldn't believe some of the crazy situations David has been in as a firefighter. One time, there was a terrible car crash on the highway. A truck had flipped over and was leaking gasoline everywhere. David and his crew raced to the scene. Theyhad to use special tools to pry open the truck and pull the driver out before the whole thing exploded! Can you imagine how scary that must have been? But David stayed calm and focused the whole time.Another time, David helped rescue a family from their burning home in the middle of the night. The smoke was so thick, he could barely see in front of him. But he didn't give up. He searched each room carefully until he found the family trapped upstairs. David carried the youngest child out first while his crew got the parents. That little boy owes his life to David's bravery.Whenever there is a fire, car accident, or other emergency, David rushes in without thinking about his own safety. All he cares about is protecting lives and helping people. He has rescued countless people and pets from dangerous fires and disasters over the years. Whenever I see a firefighter truck go by with its sirens on, I know brave people like David are rushing to keep someone safe.David says the best part of his job is seeing families reunited after he rescues them. He doesn't care about being called a hero. For David, it's just an honor to serve his community and make a difference. He works incredibly long hours, holidays, andovernight shifts. But he does it all with a smile because he really loves what he does.David's courage, selflessness, and care for others is a shining example of a true hero. He has helped save so many lives already, and at just 32 years old, he has many more years ahead to keep protecting people. Our community is so lucky to have heroes like David keeping us safe every single day.I hope that when I grow up, I can be half as brave, hardworking, and caring as David the firefighter. He's the kind of real-life hero that kids like me admire and want to be like. David hasn't just rescued people from fires - he has also inspired young kids like us to dream big and always strive to help others. That's what makes David such an extraordinary hero among ordinary people in our little town. He makes me proud to live here!篇3Writing About HeroesWhen you want to tell someone about a really awesome person who did amazing things, you have to start off with a good opening sentence. That's the hook that grabs the reader and makes them want to keep reading! My teacher says the first sentence is super important for any story or essay.If you're writing about a war hero who was brave in battle, you could start with something like "Amidst the deafening roar of gunfire and explosions, Private Jackson fearlessly charged forward..." That kind of opening puts the reader right in the middle of the action and drama. It makes you want to find out what happens next.Or let's say you're describing a gifted scientist like Marie Curie who discovered radium. An opening line could be "In a dimly lit laboratory, the glow of mysterious particles illuminated Marie's focused face as she peered into her microscope." With an image like that, the reader gets a sense of this woman's dedication and the importance of her work.For someone like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. who led the fight for civil rights, you might open with "From the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, Dr. King's powerful voice rang out over the massive crowd..." That hints at the weight and significance of his iconic "I Have a Dream" speech. It builds a scene and gets the reader interested right away.When writing about a hero who saved lives, like a firefighter or rescue worker, you could vividly depict the danger with an opening like "Thick black smoke billowed from the blazing apartment building as firefighters scrambled to rescue theterrified families trapped inside." That kind of tense, dramatic phrasing grips the reader from the first words.If your essay focuses on someone like Malala Yousafzai who campaigned for girls' education rights even after being attacked by the Taliban, an opening line might read "Though the bullets nearly silenced her voice forever, Malala refused to stay quiet." It's compelling because it hints at her courage and determination in the face of that brutal act of violence against her.For athletes and other sports heroes, try action-packed openings that make the reader feel the energy and excitement. Like "Sweat poured down his face as Usain Bolt exploded off the blocks, his legs a blazing blur of speed." Or "Serena Williams tossed the ball high into the air, then unleashed a blistering serve that streaked over the net like a missile." Lines like those make you want to keep reading and find out what happened in that crucial moment.The main thing is to avoid boring openings like "This essay is about Abraham Lincoln" or "Marie Curie was born in 1867." Those aren't engaging at all! You want to drop the reader right into the heart of the story with vivid details and drama. Making your first sentence sizzle gets the reader hooked.So the next time you're writing about someone really inspirational – whether it's a famous figure from history or just an everyday person who showed amazing courage – come up with an epic opening line that kicks the essay off with a bang. It's the perfect way to introduce the extraordinary tale you're about to tell.Once you master crafting those killer opening lines, you'll be able to captivate any reader and get them just as pumped as you are about the awesome hero you're depicting. Just like the heroes themselves, your opening sentence should be bold, gripping and unforgettable. Go for it!篇4A Real-Life SuperheroHave you ever heard of someone so brave, they seem like a superhero from a comic book? Let me tell you about an amazing person who helped save countless lives during World War II. Her name was Irena Sendler, and she was a true hero!It all started in 1942 in Warsaw, Poland. The mean German Nazi soldiers had forced all the Jewish families into a cramped and closed-off area called the Warsaw Ghetto. Food was scarce, diseases spread quickly, and life was incredibly difficult. IrenaSendler couldn't stand to see the terrible way the Jewish people, especially the children, were being treated just because of their religion.Irena was a Catholic social worker whose job allowed her to enter the ghetto. Once inside, she was shocked by the horrible conditions. Tiny kids were suffering from hunger, cold, and sickness. Some had even been orphaned because their parents had died. Irena knew she had to do something!Calling All Brave SoulsWith incredible courage, Irena recruited some of her friends and co-workers to form a top secret group. Their mission? To smuggle Jewish children out of the ghetto and provide them with safe shelter away from the Nazis. Can you imagine how scary that must have been?Irena and her crew came up with clever ways to sneak the children out. Sometimes they used ambulances with a hidden compartment to carry kids to safety. Other times, they led children through underground tunnels and sewers in the dark of night. The bravest kids had to be taught to stay absolutely silent to avoid detection.One little boy got out by being carried inside a carpenter's tool box. Two young sisters were rescued inside a stretched burlap sack being pulled by Irena. On the outside, it just looked like an old lady pulling a sack of veggies. But if the Nazis had known the truth, those poor girls could have been killed!I'll Never Forget YouEvery child that Irena and her team rescued was given a new Polish name and identity to protect them. Irena recorded their real names on thin pieces of paper, then put the papers inside jars and buried them under an apple tree in her friend's backyard. She hoped to reunite the children with their families after the war, if their families survived.For over two years, Irena and her group worked tirelessly to save as many kids as they could. They risked their own lives every single day. The Nazis could have executed all of them for such "crimes." But nothing could stop these fearless heroes!The Unthinkable HappensSadly, in 1943, the Nazis discovered what Irena was doing. They arrested her, interrogated her for weeks, and even broke her legs and feet. Through the brutal torture, Irena refused toreveal any names or details about her rescue efforts. She was one tough lady!The Nazis eventually threw Irena into the horrific Pawiak prison. Every day, she watched her friends and fellow prisoners being taken away to be killed. She knew her time would come soon. But miraculously, members of Irena's rescue network were able to have her temporarily released by bribing one of the Nazis. Fearing for her life, Irena was forced into hiding for the remainder of the war.A Legacy of HeroismAfter World War II finally ended in 1945, Irena dug up the buried jars and used the recorded names to help reunite some of the rescued children with any surviving family members. Unfortunately, for the majority of kids, their families had been murdered during the Holocaust.Irena Sendler had helped save the lives of 2,500 Jewish children from the Warsaw Ghetto. Her courage in the face of such evil was simply extraordinary! She once said, "I could have rescued a thousand children from death - so I did." What bravery from such a humble woman.For decades after the war, Irena's amazing story went largely untold. She didn't want any recognition or rewards. She said she simply "tried to live that day in order to be able to live the next one." It wasn't until the final years of her life in the 2000s that Irena's heroism finally came to light around the world.Irena Sendler passed away in 2008 at the incredible age of 98. She will forever be remembered as one of the most heroic people of World War II. Though she never had any biological children of her own, Irena left behind a tremendous legacy, saving 2,500 kids who went on to have children and grandchildren of their own.When I grow up, I hope I can be as fearless and compassionate as Irena Sendler. If faced with evil, injustice, and danger, she took action and did篇5A Real-Life Superhero: The Amazing Story of Harriet TubmanHave you ever wondered what it would be like to be a superhero? Someone who is brave, strong, and helps people in need? Well, let me tell you about Harriet Tubman, a real-life superhero who lived a long time ago!Harriet was born in Maryland in 1822. Life wasn't easy for her. She was born into slavery, which meant that she was treated like property and had to work for no pay. Can you imagine having to work all day, every day, without getting paid or having any freedom? It must have been awful!From a young age, Harriet had to do tough jobs like plowing fields and taking care of babies. She was even hit in the head with a heavy weight when she was a teenager, which gave her headaches and sleeping spells for the rest of her life. Despite all these challenges, Harriet never lost hope or her desire to be free.When Harriet was around 25 years old, she made a daring escape from slavery. She traveled nearly 90 miles on foot, walking at night and hiding during the day, to reach the free state of Pennsylvania. Harriet was finally free, but she couldn't stop thinking about her family and friends who were still enslaved back in Maryland.That's when Harriet's superpowers really started to shine! She became known as the "Moses of her people" because she made countless dangerous trips back to the South to help other enslaved people escape to freedom. Harriet would sneak into plantations, use secret codes and signals, and guide groups of people through the Underground Railroad – a network of safehouses and secret routes that helped enslaved people reach freedom in the North.Can you imagine how scary and risky those trips must have been? Harriet had to be incredibly brave, smart, and strong to pull it off. She once said, "I never ran my train off the track and I never lost a passenger." In total, she helped rescue over 300 people from slavery, including her own parents!During the Civil War, Harriet's heroism continued. She worked as a spy for the Union Army, gathering information about the Confederate troops. She even led a daring raid in South Carolina that freed over 700 enslaved people! After the war ended, Harriet kept fighting for the rights of formerly enslaved people and women.To me, Harriet Tubman is the definition of a real-life superhero. She was brave, selfless, and fought for what was right, even when it was incredibly dangerous. She risked her life over and over again to help others find freedom and achieve equality.Just like superheroes in movies and comic books, Harriet had to overcome many obstacles and face villains like slave owners and people who didn't believe in her cause. But she never gave up, and her courage and determination helped change the world for the better.Harriet Tubman's story inspires me to stand up for what I believe in and to help others whenever I can. She showed that one person can make a huge difference, even in the face of incredible challenges. The next time you're feeling scared or like giving up, just think about the amazing things Harriet accomplished against all odds. If she could do it, so can you!I hope you've enjoyed learning about this real-life superhero as much as I have. Harriet Tubman's legacy reminds us that true heroes don't need capes or special powers – they just need courage, compassion, and the determination to make the world a better place.篇6The Brave Firefighter Who Saved My FamilyDid you ever meet a real-life superhero? I did! His name is Ryan, and he's a firefighter. Let me tell you his amazing story.It all started on a cold winter night. My little brother and I were sleeping soundly when suddenly, a loud noise woke us up. There was smoke everywhere! We were so scared. Quickly, Mommy and Daddy got us out of the house and called 911.In just a few minutes, fire engines came racing down our street with lights flashing and sirens blaring. Out jumped a whole team of firefighters, suited up in their big yellow coats and helmets. One of them, a tall man with kind eyes, was named Ryan.Without hesitating, Ryan and his crew sprang into action. They unrolled giant hoses and started spraying water onto the flames that were devouring our home. The fire was huge and terrifying, but Ryan didn't seem afraid at all. He rushed right into the burning house!We watched nervously from the sidewalk, shivering in our pajamas. Daddy kept reassuring us that the firefighters knew what to do. After what felt like forever, Ryan finally emerged from the smoke carrying...our pet hamster Fuzzy! His little cage was scorched but he was okay.Ryan had risked his life to save our beloved Fuzzy. But he wasn't done yet. He and the other firefighters spent hours battling the blaze until finally, it was out. Our house looked so sad and burned, but we were just thankful to be alive and together.The next day, Ryan came by to check on us. He gave me his firefighter hat as a souvenir and I got to try on his huge jacket.Ryan explained that he became a firefighter because he loves helping people and keeping them safe. He sees scared kids and families all the time in fires, but he stays brave.From now on, whenever I see a firefighter, I'll remember the heroic way Ryan faced the burning flames without fear to save me, my family, and even little Fuzzy. He's my real life superhero and I want to be as courageous as him when I grow up!Did you like hearing the story of Ryan the brave firefighter? He showed skills like quick thinking, determination and caring about others. Those are great traits for heroes to have, whether they're fictional characters in movies or real people in our community.We should all appreciate the hardworking firefighters, police officers, doctors, and others who risk their safety to protect us every day. Just by doing their jobs, they get to live out real-life adventures and become heroes. Pretty cool, right?Maybe you know a heroic person in your own family or town. Why don't you write about them next? You could describe a specific heroic deed they did, like Ryan saving my pet hamster from the fire. Or you could describe their general heroic qualities and job. Just be sure to include lots of vivid, descriptive details.You'll see that starting sentences about a hero's actions with words like "Bravely...", "Despite the danger...", or "Putting others first..." can really make their deeds sound bold and exciting. Using strong verbs like "raced," "battled," and "emerged" also helps capture the drama.Most of all, have fun with your writing and don't forget to add your own personal thoughts, feelings and voice. That will make your hero story even more memorable!I hope my firefighter tale inspired you to appreciate real-life heroes and maybe even write about your own. Let me know if you have any other questions! Writing adventures await.。

超实用高考英语专题复习：专题 01 名词专题(含高考真题)

超实用高考英语专题复习：专题01 名词专题距离高考还有一段时间，不少有经验的老师都会提醒考生，愈是临近高考，能否咬紧牙关、学会自我调节，态度是否主动积极，安排是否科学合理，能不能保持良好的心态、以饱满的情绪迎接挑战，其效果往往大不一样。

以下是本人从事10多年教学经验总结出的以下学习资料，希望可以帮助大家提高答题的正确率，希望对你有所帮助，有志者事竟成！养成良好的答题习惯，是决定高考英语成败的决定性因素之一。

做题前，要认真阅读题目要求、题干和选项，并对答案内容作出合理预测;答题时，切忌跟着感觉走，最好按照题目序号来做，不会的或存在疑问的，要做好标记，要善于发现，找到题目的题眼所在，规范答题，书写工整;答题完毕时，要认真检查，查漏补缺，纠正错误。

总之，在最后的复习阶段，学生们不要加大练习量。

在这个时候，学生要尽快找到适合自己的答题方式，最重要的是以平常心去面对考试。

英语最后的复习要树立信心，考试的时候遇到难题要想“别人也难”，遇到容易的则要想“细心审题”。

越到最后，考生越要回归基础，单词最好再梳理一遍，这样有利于提高阅读理解的效率。

Agricultural origins are associated with regions of water deﬁcits.To foster productivity water had to be diverted to land to be sown.The urban revolution reinforced this process.Water management had rustic origins;it is the cumulative effect and the changes emerged that imparted growing signiﬁcance to effective water utilization.Mesopotamia and the Nile valley were hearth regions for applied hydraulic manipulations.It is the industrial revolution that turned to use of hydropower to move machinery by means of waterwheels along stream courses to avail itself of this energy source.Hydro-power at this juncture became a magnet for industrial location in the UK as well in New England.Even in Paterson,NJ in the early19th century,the Great Falls served to power the local silk industry,the Colt(sixth-shooter fame),and the local locomotive factories. Hydropower for electricity generation had to await the convergence of scientiﬁc efforts of numerous researchers’experiments whose efforts matured to control and produce electricity.Faraday was

the amount of electricity that hydrosystems can provide to meet global electricity needs.Much of the world’s hydropower remains to be brought into production.Improved technology,better calibrated

comparative energy sources powering electricity systems?Attention to the environmental impact of hydropower facilities forms an integral part of systems analysis.Similarly,the technical, political and economic variables call for balanced analysis to identify the viability status of hydro projects.Economic competition among energy systems requires in context assessments as these shape decision making in planning of hydropower systems.Moreover,technological change has to be given a time frame during which the sector advances in productivity and share in expanding electricity generation.The low production costs per kWh assure hydropower at this juncture,2009,a very viable future.ß2009Elsevier Ltd.All rights reserved.E-mail address:fsternie@.Contents lists available at ScienceDirect

doi:10.1016/j.rser.2009.08.016ﬁrst to achieve the production of electricity in 1831,but another ﬁfty years were needed to produce electricity derived from a water powered waterwheel,invented by Francis in 1851.Hydropower’s history covers 130years,but its role in electricity use is disproportionate when the consequences are globally assessed.Electricity has become a pervasive,ubiquitous energy source in nearly all spheres of life.In the 21st century,virtually nothing functions without electricity,whether it’s an electric tooth brush or a space shuttle,and everything in between.Electricity dependence has reached near universal status.Dependable electricity availability has become a condition that shapes policies and challenges economic planning and production,necessitates environmental preservation,and fosters energy-electricity conservation.Electricity can be produced in numerous ways in terms of resources used,such as oil,gas,coal,geothermal,biomass,eolian,nuclear,solar,and water,as electricity enters the transmission system,it is impossible to tell its source of origin,especially when numerous different sources are used.It is the availability and dependability of the electricity driven resource that matters as the per capita consumption rises globally inexorably (see Table 1).Hydropower’s future has to be considered as a transition stage for many states of the world that have ﬂuvial systems that can be drawn into the electricity generating system.Environmental conditions,political planning,economic options,available tech-nical personnel,existing electro-mechanical industries,and energy-kind competition,each of these variables shapes the decision-making process when,if and where to place such electricity generating utilities.Hydropower plants turn out to be very long term projects,hence their future is planning dependent and anticipated economic viability measured.Electricity systemswill exist for the predictable future;it is the energy source(s)that may change radically.In this context,hydropower may serve for a longer time as major ‘‘energy bridge’’to a different energy future.2.Purpose of studyWith most of the world’s hydropower potential available for near future development,it is local interests and sovereign states that decide how to manage their water resource base.Hydropower projects require prolonged planning and construction ernments change,electricity needs shift,and increase but the basic physical conditions tend to retain their physical character-istics for a predictable time span.Given the increased environ-mental awareness,why and how do hydropower systems continue to ﬁnd social and political acceptance in diverse social systems?How does hydropower project planning address issues beyond electricity generation?How does the systems approach to hydro-power installations further analysis of comparative energy sources powering electricity systems?How compatible is hydropower with the changing energy matrix?Hydropower installations appear in phases,in response to electricity demand and a state’s preparedness to absorb the added electricity supply.It is in the BRIC (Brazil,Russia,India,China)states where this progression can be represented in regional and chronological detail.And techno-logical changes in hydropower have to be anticipated,such as hydrokinetic systems,e.g.3.Hydropower as instrument of changeHydropower turned into an instrument of production change,powering the beginning of the industrial revolution,notably in theTable 11950to 2000world electricity systems installed MW increased by nearly 2,100%or about 42%/year.Worldwide increasing electricity dependence fosters larger

it was waterwheel powered with driveshafts to activate textile production.In Brazil,at Juiz de Fora(1889)one of theﬁrst hydroelectric plants powered a textile mill.Numerous technological changes were needed to achieve greater electricity transmission distances,which freed machinery from transmission belts and introduced the dynamo driven individual machines. Hydropower served as an electricity provider in the industrializa-tion process in France,Germany,Norway,the UK,Italy,and the US. After World War II,Brazil started to foster hydropower projects to serve the major urban cores and the beginning of industrialization [1].Coal rich states such as the UK,USA,and Germany used hydropower and coal powered thermal plants,but coal-poor states such as Italy and France turned to their‘‘white coal,’’the hydropower resource base.For hydropower-rich states such as China,India,Russia,and Brazil,hydropower construction in phases served to promote industrialization.Lenin as early as1920borrowed from a friend ‘‘...The age of steam is the age of the bourgeoisie,the age of electricity is the age of socialism.’’[2].The post World War II industrialization of Japan,S.Korea,and China without hydropower would have had a different pace then actually recorded.It is economy of foreign exchange that plays its part.China has actively fostered its hydropower sector dating to the1970s,and currently it is the premier hydropower in the world.Similarly,much of the USSR’s industrialization was hydropowered.Hydropower serves as an instrument of change and in most instances it is a domestic energy source that fosters exchange rate savings,but also encourages the formation of a domestic electro-mechanical heavy industry to provide the mechanical equipment that can be domestically manufactured(e.g.Mecanica Pesada,Brazil).Another essential component of the hydropower system is the electricity transmission infrastructure,the less complicated component to produce locally.Hydropower turns into an instrument of reciprocal,complementary beneﬁts,providing essential electricity and supporting a host of electro-mechanical industries.4.Water management-hydropower and water availabilityIn the popular perception,hydropower dominates in the world of river regulation.In the numerical context,hydropower in total river water management at this time regulates about12%of the world’s riversﬂuvial volume(Chao[4],see also[3],p.366).It is the evolution of large dams,1000MW and larger,which create notable reservoirs.Among theﬁrst of this scale is the Hoover Dam, 1951MW and now there is the Three Gorges Project,22,400MW. One of the largest reservoirs is Lake Nasser with160km3.Actually, 88%of the world’s stored riverwaters serve urban water supply systems,irrigation(which uses70%of the world’s fresh water),ﬂood control,recreational water projects(in the US,this is36%), and canal systems([3],WATER,366).Water management is a most sensitive subject matter.In undergraduate economics,the economics professor(1950)pointed to water as a ubiquitous and free resource,offered as example of a costless factor in economic analysis.Times have changed.As per capita water consumption increases with changing global urba-nization rates,it may become necessary to identify priority ranking for water uses.Implicitly,a water conservation categorization may foster voluntary per capita use reduction in general populations. Water-pricing would encourage increased conservation by means of direct personal economy.Even hydropower plants may have to pay for water use and charge more for electricity to achieve balance in water utilization rates.Hydropower’s water dependence is precipitation and river volume contingent(Table2).Precipitation totals expressed in km3 for the speciﬁc watershed provide the hydroproject planner essential parameters for project planning.Another measure that project planners are keenly interested in are streamﬂow values in m3/s.These are closely related data,but topography and streamgrade inﬂuence rate of runoff and speed of streamﬂow. Water availability may be evaluated on the basis of the km2/km3 ratio as the ratio gets intoﬁve digits,electricity generation tends to lose dependability in contrast to three digits when the generating potential gains in predictability(see Table2).For the world this kind of data collection is uneven in quality,quantity,and time gathered.Data gathering,reporting,and publishing comes with the culture of scientiﬁc inquiry,and with scientiﬁc experimentation. The absence of this basic data for use in hydropower planning impacts adversely,technically,economically,socially,environ-mentally,and politically.Sound water management under the circumstances stands signiﬁcantly compromised.The data serves to restrain hasty assumptions about climate as a determining consideration for setting up hydropower projects.Table2Select river basin data for annual water availability.Region River basin km2Water(km3)km2/km3Mean Flow(m3/s)Asia

Bio-Bio,Chile,as 1km 3needs less than 600km 2in area of surface (see Table 2),and Pange is a top revenue producer per hectare of installed power,about $90,000/year/ha at 57%of installed capacity.The Itaipu experience,different in scale,is exceptional,as it often generates above installed capacity.Water management for hydropower is subject to local norms,a global formula proves elusive to articulate as regions and sites tend to uniqueness.An overview of some of the world’s major rivers,their watershed areas,the approximate amounts of precipitation as recorded in km 3,and their drainage area are reported in km 2and approximate streamﬂow values provides tangible reference points for hydro-power planning (Fig.1).At this time,the Amazon River volume is less useful for electricity generation than the Colorado River with its 16km 3/year water accumulation versus the Amazon’s 6920km 3/year (see Table 2,Fig.2).How does the Blue Nile (Ethiopia)contribute to the Nile main channel,and for how long have the Ethiopians had dependable data to manage the national hydro-power resource base effectively?In this part of Africa,evaporation rates enter the hydropower planning assessment when Lake Nasser yields 14–15km 3of water to evaporation a year (or about 440m 3/s).One of the more hydropower generating rivers of reference in the table is the Parana-Paraguay-Uruguay-La Plata system,which in the Brazilian segment has 42hydropower projects.The headwater dam Furnas tends to be a key control unit for down-river volume of water and velocity,hence as the water moves downstream,each subsequent dam registers a certain increase in its generating rate.Engineers assume 50–57%average of ﬁrm power yield for the year,or a 1000MW unit is projected to generate 500–570MW on a continuous base load for the year.At Itaipu,75–90%yield are the norm,or 12,500+MW at 90%daily (675,000barrels of petroleum/day).675,000barrels of petroleum per day =$33,750,000/day at $50,for the year that equals $12,319,000,000.(It is unwise to use a higher petroleum value,as market ﬂuctuations should constrain unrealistic claims).In ﬁve consecutive years the capital generated comes to $61,593,750,000.The two maps of precipitation in select river basins expressed in km 3and stream ﬂow per second in m 3for selected rivers (Figs.1and 2)point to improved resource utilization possibilities with a less environment intrusive technology.Time and investment will be needed to develop run-of-the-river turbines,a form of damless hydroelectricity system.This is a challenge for the next three to four decades as an increase in fossil fuel reduction for multiple resources will gain in global acceptance (merely consider one state burning 2.3Â109tons of coal per year out of the world 5.3Â109tons per year:see [4],p.78).This kind of electricity generating system would be most appropriate initially for very large river system,with the watersheds registering receiving above the 1000km 3/year mark.1The stream ﬂow data are the more informative to assess hydroelectricity generating potential.To this have to be added local geomorphology,notably streambed morphology and river grade.(An excellent source for speciﬁc river studies is [5].Many of the rivers mapped are considered in detail in the text).With notable variation in river grade naturally,theoneFig.1.Selected world river annual discharges in km 3.1In August 2008,Itaipu was operating at 12,500MW/day or 90%of installed capacity.Itaipu at this time operates as a run-of-the-river unit.R.Sternberg /Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews 14(2010)713–723716created by hydropower dams adds to stream velocity variations between dams and corresponding inter-dam distance variation.The steeper the grade between projects,the more attractive the possibility to install damless turbines with better than average water availability and speed for power generation.Instead of individual dams with speciﬁc name-plate installed potential,it is essential to ﬁnd the approximate size turbine and rotor for certain water volume and river speed to ﬁt into the speciﬁc river system.The next step involves optimal separating turbines in the context from upstream to downstream to retain even water speed and pressure for operating efﬁciency.Placement of the units could be achieved by devising a factory ship that places the supporting pylons,turbine installation,and platform for attaching to the rotor system.Transmission line development would include essential consolidating transformer station loca-tions to up the kV dispatched over longer distances.This more active use of transmission could result in more efﬁcient transmission delivery in the form of notable reductions of electricity losses during the transforming phases,the consolidating one,and the receiving end the transformer station,where transformation generally registers a 7%electricity loss.Numerous technological hurdles have to be overcome to achieve improved returns on these possibly massive projects.In the project planning process productivity dependability comprises a notable aspect to identify the scheme’s long term viability.Stream-ﬂow data and watershed areal extent afford a measure to approximate water volume availability of a speciﬁc river segment.As noted above,the larger the surface required to gather runoff,two conditions become apparent:one,the reservoir has to be proportionally sized to store ample seasonal precipitation accumulation to allow a minimal operational timeframe for the installed generating system;and two,the larger drainage surface surrenders a higher percentage of the precipitation to evaporation losses.A project in a watershed area where 1km 3needs 600km 2compared with a drainage shed of 6000km 2/km 3,informs the project planner of potential water availability a potential generating time frame for operating parameters of kWh.Function of the dam in the river system identiﬁes actual watershed areal extent.There is the headwater project and then there is the dam closest to the river estuary,which includes the river’s entire watershed.Tucurui registers about 11,200m 3/s or about 352km 3/year,or the Tucurui watershed of 758,000km 3/year translates into 2152km 2/km 3of precipitation in its watershed,the daily average that transits Tucurui is .96km 3.The Madeira,a tributary to the Amazon,at Porto Velho,averages 19,000m 3/s,or,599.2km 3/y.Its drainage area is 903,500km 2or 1505km 2of surface collects 1km 3of stream ﬂow/year,and 1.64km 3on average transits Porto Velho daily.Each project can be assessed in this way to project its generating production parameters.The Bio Bio Pange Dam,can be considered among the most productive.Itaipu and Xingo (both are in Brazil)are run-of-the-river projects and need to be considered in a different analytical context.With the possible reduction upon dam dependence along river courses,and signiﬁcant economy in project expenditures,the ﬂooding of productive land or population resettlement would become unnecessary and it would be economically rewarding and be socially constructive,as no resettlements would be called for.Fish life and river transport are other variables that need to be addressed.For protection of ﬁsh life there may be forms of barriers that deﬂect ﬁsh to be drawn into the turbine draft.FornavigationFig.2.Selected world river per second m 3stream ﬂow at key control stations.R.Sternberg /Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews 14(2010)713–723717the turbine pylons could serve as guides instead of needed buoys.The environmental impact of this system is an unknown.Until a system is in place and its function has been monitored for a decade,any assertion is inappropriate at this stage of knowledge.In most likelihood this system could be the least environment damaging energy system available.Figs.1and 2provide a comparative overview of select river basins.Fig.3affords a measure of how much precipitation in km 3is registered in a speciﬁc watershed.What the data does not include is the soil moisture absorption rate or the local evaporation losses.The ratio of km 2to km 3provides an additional parameter of stream ﬂow assessment and predictability.The larger the catchment area per km 3,the more uncertain the streamﬂow regime.From Table 2,the least reliable river listed is the Colorado,which depends upon over 38,800km 2per km 3of registered precipitation,the Bio Bio in Chile drains 596km 2to collect 1km 3of precipitation.The data point to a possible streamﬂow reliability measure namely the lower the ratio the more productive the hydro potential of this river.The rivers listed for South America in this table register above average values,notably the Bio Bio and the Orinoco.The mean value for the selected rivers is 5585km 2/km 3.Four of the rivers included in the list exceed the average registered,and two of these,the Colorado,U.S.,Nile,Egypt,Sudan,Ethiopia,and Uganda are seven and three times exceeding the average.It can be said that the lower the measured ratio,the more dependable the river’s productivity potential.5.The environment and hydropowerConstraint in a river system will lead to multiple modiﬁcations in its metabolism and its environmental fabric.Actual extent of environmental change depends upon project magnitude,in the case of hydropower it is generally the reservoir size (volume and extent)rather than the installed generating hydropower project altering area project morphology (that affects the larger project area).Two Brazilian projects serve to illustrate different aerial project morphology.Serra da Mesa,head dam on the Tocantins has a 54.4km 3reservoir (Serra da Mesa installed potential is 1998MW);Xingo on the Sao Francisco,3000MW installed,5000MW potential,is a run of the river project,essentially without reservoir as it reworks the turbined waters from the up-river Paulo Afonso system.This affords an overview of the range of differences that are hydropower project associated.Emphasis is on hydropower,and the environmental impact is project size related.Reservoirs for example in Amazonia generate less humidity than the natural vegetation,which impacts the original precipitation pattern.Forest removal in planned reservoir areas in the Amazonian environment has proven difﬁcult because of the rapidity of the regeneration of secondary growth.Forest inundation produces eutrophication and its dissolution depends upon the streamﬂow regime in volume and velocity.The more frequent the renewal of the reservoir water,the sooner the eutrophication process can be attenuated and in time restore the water body to functional health.At Tucurni,Tocantins River,Brazil,the reservoir water is renewed about every 47days,nearly eight times per year,Balbina dam,Uatuma River,Brazil,requires at least one year to recycle its reservoir volume.Sedimentation is generally part of the natural drainage process from runoff.There is far more complexity to the topic than can be addressed,but a key agent is active land uses.Agriculture,roads,forest clearance,urban systems,rank high as sedimentation agents.Hydropower planners cannot accurately predict the sedimentation rates since land use management practices are uneven in much of the world.Hydropower managers sharetheFig.3.km 2/km 3provides an approximation of water availability,this information can serve to assign reservoir size by the respective project engineer(s).R.Sternberg /Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews 14(2010)713–723718topic at meetings and special symposia,addressing the complexity of the issue[6].Continuous expansion of the hydropower systems into open river systems points to conditions of electricity demand for which an effective response has to be found locally.Rising electricity demand and increasing electricity costs point to the shrinking options to policy makers on how to balance environmental conservation and electricity demand.Hydropower professionals are turning increasingly environment sensitive and hydropower projects are designed to minimize environmental stress.In Brazil, the Madeira project is for a15meter high dam,or a barrier that limits the reservoir to theﬂoodplain accepting bulbar turbines of 72and75MW each([7],77ff).Future hydroprojects can be expected to differ from antecedent projects and be less conspic-uous in the physical landscape.6.Hydropower and changing electricity economiesInvestment resource availability shapes future electricity generating infrastructure.A convergence of multiple interests mold future plans in the hydropower sector and its corresponding construction schedules.Heterogeneity in the resource base of the world’s states,varied stages of domestic infrastructure formation, notably different lifestyles and cultural contexts,and uneven environmental perceptions affect broader generalizations about hydropower’s future[8].As hydropower projects gain in magni-tude,so do the needed investments which have to anticipate returns for the long term.Given these conditions,governments become increasingly the key agencies as paymasters for the key hydropower projects.In the US it was the Hoover Dam,the TVA system,the Columbia River system,and the wrence River projects that can be cited as government sponsored.At the international level reference can be made to the multiple hydropower projects along the Danube,or in the La Plata River system.The latter home to three projects has grown into MERCOSUR,a regional supranational economic union.Cost assessment is generally on price per kW installed. Economy of scale favors large projects as it lowers the cost per installed kW.Emphasis is on the generating facility,but implicit in general consideration is the availability of transforming stations and transmission lines.While these cost elements are not addressed here,they form an integral part of the generating system,the dam([9],NETWORKS,233–261).In the planning and execution phase of hydropower projects,their construction phase is compressed in time,it is the hydropower project that is a timecostly,or the interest charges that consume large sums that play their part in compressing the construction schedules.Hydropower project planners,depending upon project size,have to include a time horizon of30–50years to insure project economic viability. While these professionals address project economic viability,the larger horizon is serving the public needs of a speciﬁc country. Larger projects tend to become part of the national budget,hence these projects turn into public property.Mega projects mobilize a large labor force to foster timely completion of the power plant.If30,000people work on such project,allowﬁve to ten years before theﬁrst turbine of many comes on line.That means that during these years,payrolls to be met without any income from such projects.And the additional turbines,depending upon their respective size,each generally takes four to six months to install,so when a project has10–20 turbines,anotherﬁve to eight years are needed to complete the project(see Figs.4–6).At this point,it is easier to explain the initial high cost of hydropower,it is the hiatus of no income to the last unit coming on line.Private investment cannot sustain such investments without income producing operations which clariﬁes why major projects tend to be publicly owned([10],‘‘LATINA-MERICANIZATION.’’).Much of economic development worldwide has been hydro-powered,whether it came off the waterwheel or from the hydropower plant.In South America urbanization has been largely hydropowered,and that came from government coffers.Hydro-powerﬁnds general acceptance as a domestically available energy source.The term‘‘white coal’’comes from Switzerland and Italy, two states without domestic coal resources,but with extensive ﬂuvial systems which provide actively used hydropower potential.In the21st century electricity has become a dominant energy source.Its costs reﬂect the source from which it is derived,hence while the kWh has one price,its production costs are source dictated.At this time hydropower derived electricity continues to be the lowest cost electricity available world-wide(Table3—Energy systems,p.501[11]).Hydropower cannot be expected to meet the world’s electricity needs,it serves as‘‘energy bridge’’to a technology manipulating world.It contributes to infrastructure formation,transmission systems,transformers,and inﬂuences electricitypricing.Fig. 4.Itaipu-Binacional an upstream panoramic view.There are20installed generators of700MW and18of these are in continuous operation with two as standbys in case of outage.In August2008daily generation averaged12,560MW,or 90%of installed capacity.The plant can be considered a run-of-the-river unit.

thats a special oxford subject, isnt it?outside viewjulie my names julie dearden, and im the director of international programmes here at hertford college.eugene my names eugene berger, i studied here in oxford for four years er, studying modern languages atsomerville college.julie oh, there are many oxford traditions. oxford is a very old university, the oldest english-speaking universityin the, in the world. and so there are many traditions which are associated with the colleges, with the times of the year, and with sport, and with eating, for example.eugene each college is very different um, from um, the others, and it has its own character. some colleges arevery conservative, and some are much more liberal and have a tradition of um, kind of liberal politics. but there are also some specific traditions.julie formal hall is when we all eat together here in college, the professors and the students. usually it takesplaces at seven oclock in the evening, and the professors sit on high table which is the table over here, and the students sit on common table, which are the tables here. but everybody eats together. its a very beautiful evening because there are, theres a special meal and we eat by candlelight.eugene i think er, the traditions that make oxford so unique are firstly the oxford union and er, secondly, mayday. the oxford union being a debating society where speakers come from all around the world to address the students and even allow themselves to be questioned by the students, making it a very interesting forum. julie my favourite is er, may day. and may day is the first day of may, and we have a tradition called maymorning, and on may morning everybody gets up very early and the students have a celebration. there is a choir which sings on top of the tower at magdalen college and all the people of the town and all the students go to listen to the singing. so its very nice.eugene the tradition that er, was most important to me was probably summer eights. i was a rower. and summereights is a rowing competition, held in may in the summer term. and in this competition, each college is trying to improve its place which it won the previous year and gradually work its way up the river.julie when the students take exams, they must go to a special building and its called examination schools. andalso they must wear a special uniform, so they wear e. gown like mine, a black gown, and they wear a white shirt, arid the men wear a white tie and black trousers. the women wear a white shirt and a black skirt or black trousers. and they must wear this uniform, which has a latin name - sub fuse — and they must wear this uniform in order to take their examinations. eugene i think the oxford traditions lend character to the place and its such an old institution, it should havetraditions, but they can be very inconvenient. for example, sub fuse. this is the uniform that we are required according to the university rules, to wear.julie they also wear flowers in their buttonholes, and those flowers are carnations. and they wear differentcolours, the students wear different coloured flowers for different examinations. so when you take your first exam you wear a white flower, and when you take your second exam you wear a pink flower, and when you take your final examination you wear a red carnation.eugene so we have to dress up in a full black suit, starched collar, white bow tie and carry a mortarboard. and towrite an exam in the summer heat whilst wearing all that which youre not allowed to take off is um, uncomfortable.julie i really like the oxford traditions, i think its part of our history, and part of um, being a student or a teacherhere at oxford university.listening inpassage 1interviewer can you tell me something about the ivy league? youre a professor at harvard, is that right? professor thats right, yes.interviewer tell me how many universities are there? how many institutions?professor in total there are eight institutions: theres harvard, yale, brown, columbia, cornell, dartmouth,princeton, and the university of pennsylvania.interviewer ah, ok. and whats the sporting ... i believe theres some link with sports.professor there certainly is, yes. originally the ivy league referred to the sports teams from the universitieswhich competed against each other, especially in football, basketball and ice hockey. now sometimes these universities, institutions, chose their students on the basis of their skills at these particular sports. but in the last 50 years, ivy league schools have accepted a wider range of students because it wasnt possible to be both world-famous for research and also top class in sport.interviewer and what about their academic importance? i gather theyre academically very, very important,theyre very well-known.professor absolutely at the top. theyre near or at the top of the usa colleges and university rankings. andtheyre almost always in the top one per cent of the worlds academic institutions for financial resources. interviewer and what does it mean socially to go to an ivy league university?professor certainly if youve been to one of these institutions, you are presumed or assumed to be at the top end ofthe scale. the ivy league institutions have a reputation for social elitism, many of the students are rich, intellectual, white anglo-saxon, protestants. not all of them of course, but quite a lot of them.interviewer and do you know ... whys it called the ivy league, whats the origin of the name?professor there are a number of stories, derivations, but possibly its based on four universities, and iv, the lettersiv, thats the roman numeral for four. another more likely story is that ivy plants, which are symbolic of the age of the universities, you know, would be grown at the walls of these universities, these institutions, they cover the walls of the buildings. the term was created by a sports journalist, i think in the 1930s.interviewer right, ok. and which is the oldest university?professor the oldest goes back to the 17th century, thats harvard which was founded in 1636. and the youngestof the institutions is cornell which was founded in 1865. interviewer and which has the largest number of undergraduates?professor cornell has the largest number, about 13,000, 13,500 undergraduates. the institution with the smallestnumber is dartmouth college with a little over 4,000.interviewer and what about the acceptance rate? is it hard to get into?professor that ranges from about seven per cent to 20 per cent.interviewer and any famous alumni? famous old boys?professor hundreds! hundreds of them. but i suppose worldwide, the two that would be definitely known all overthe world would certainly be george bush who went to yale, and john f kennedy, president kennedy, who was at harvard.interviewer thank you.passage2andy did you see the film on television last night?jane no, i was out. what was it?andy a beautiful mind. its about john forbes nash, the mathematician who won the nobel prize.jane ive heard about that film, yes. hes played by russell crowe, isnt he? i like russell crowe, hes great. andy thats the one, yes.jane whats it about?andy well, the story begins in the early years of nashs life at princeton university as a graduate student. jane thats one of the ivy league schools, isnt it?andy yes, its all set in new england, lovely old buildings, beautiful autumn colours. its lovely to look at.anyway, nash meets his roommate charles, a literature student, who soon becomes his best friend. nash admits to charles that he is better with numbers than people, and the main thing hes looking for is a truly original idea for his thesis paper.jane so hes not interested in having fun?andy well, yes, but hes not very good with people or successful with women, thats all. but, you know, its one ofthese bad experiences with people which ultimately inspires his brilliant work in mathematics.jane no good at relationships, so he becomes a genius at maths?andy thats about right, yes. so when he finishes his studies at princeton, he accepts a job at massachusettsinstitute of technology. five years later, he meets alicia, a student who he falls in love with and eventually marries.jane ah! at last, the love interest!andy yes, but wait a moment. nash believes that hes been asked to work by william parcher for the usdepartment of defense on breaking soviet codes. at one point hes chased by the russians, and its after this that he becomes mentally ill.jane i think ive seen this in the trailer to the film.andy so when hes put in a psychiatric hospital, he thinks the soviets have captured him. hes given this painful。

Some Chinese parents are usually glad to see their children studying late. They will think their children work very hard, but not all parents are happy about this. Once a mother told us that every morning her 10-year-old boy put up one finger (手指)with his eyes still closed, begging(请求) for one more minute to sleep. like thousands of students “ early birds” in China, he has to get up before six every morning.A report shows that without a good night’s sleep, students seem to be weaker (虚弱)than they should be. Many students have fallen asleep during class at one time or another. Too much homework is not the only reason why students stay up late. Some watch TV or play the computer games late into the night.Experts have ever said that the students should develop good study habits. So some clever students never study last, they are able to work well in class.26．The 10-year-old boy begged for more minute to sleep because__________A．he didn’t have enough sleep B．it wasn’t time for him to get upC．he didn’t want to go to school D．he wanted his mother to wake him up 27．In this passage we know if students don’t get enough sleep, they may________ A．become too weak to sleep B．not work well in classC．go to bed early D．be weak in English28．In this passage “early birds” means “persons who ______________”A．get up early B．get up lateC．sleep less D．don’t want to sleep29．“stay up late” here means “_____________”A．study late B．watch TV lateC．not go to bed until late D．stay outside30．According to the passage, which of the following is right?_________A．If you want to study better, you must work hard at night.B．Sleeping less means working hard.C．Some clever students are able to work well in class because they have good study habits. D．Students don’t have enough sleep because they have lots of homework to do.Good study habits are important for all students. When you have good study habits, you will learn faster and find you have a good memory (记忆).Do you usually study in the living room? This is not a good place for study because it is usually too noisy. You need to study in a quiet place, such as your bedroom. A quiet place will help you learn better.Before you begin to study, do not forget to clean your desk. It helps you study well, too. Light（光线）is important, too You will feel tired easily if there is not enough light.Of all the good study habits developing asking questions is the key. Just ask. No one knows everything .but we can always learn from each other by asking questions.One simple but important habit is to tell yourself what you are studying for. Put your dream grades（理想的分数）on the wall next to your bed or computer. It means （意味着）you will see and think about it every day.When do you work best? Are you an early bird or a night owl（猫头鹰）, or something in between? Find your most productive work time and then plan to study at this time.31．Why is the living room not a good place for study?A．Because it is too quiet.B．Because it is too small.C．Because it is too noisy. 32．According to the passage. What should you do before you study?A．Clean the desk.B．Put your story books away.C．Turn on the 1ight. 33．Why should we put your dream grade on the wall?A．To make us happy.B．To develop a good study habit.C．To remind(提醒) us what we are studying for.34．What is the Chinese meaning Of the underline word “productive”?A．有效的B．有趣的C．精彩的35．What is the best title for important?A．Study in the bedroom B．Good habits are very important C．How to study.四、短文综合填空My Friend’s Plans for the FutureI’m an outgoing girl and I like making friends.

关于美食的三分钟英文演讲（精选16篇）关于美食的三分钟英文演讲篇1We eat because we need food, but we cook because we love food. That love is fueled by the tangy heat of spices and nurtured by the flowery aroma of herbs. Seasonings play a minimal nutritional role in our diet. They play to our senses. They make us want another bite.Insted of using milk to make scrambled eggs, you can use water so the eggs won't burn OR stick!I always thought that getting it would help to get thick crust when you use a pan underneath and cook for a longer time on a lower temperature.I'll tell you how to cook Roasted Portobello Caps.Preheat oven to 200°C. Coat a rimmed baking sheet or roasting pan with cooking spray.Place mushroom caps, gill-side up, on the prepared pan. Sprinkle with 1/8 teaspoon salt and pepper. Roast until tender, about 20 minutes.Meanwhile, combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan, parsley, oil, the remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt and pepper in a small bowl. Remove the mushrooms from the oven and top each cap with about 2 tablespoons of the breadcrumb mixture, spreading evenly. Return to the oven and roast until the breadcrumbs are browned, about 5 minutes.关于美食的三分钟英文演讲篇2Today I am going to tell you a true story about a life-altering event that happened to an old hunter from Tibet’s northern lands.Early in the morning, the hunter saw a group of Tibetanantelopes on grass hill near his tent. He rushed out of his tent and mounted his horse with his rifle. The antelopes all quickly ran away except one. A strong, fat one ran only a few steps and came back. It looked imploringly at him, stepped up towards him and then knelt on its knees with tears streaming down from its eyes. Feeling softhearted for a flashing moment, the hunter did not pull the trigger. But after he shut his eyes, pulled the trigger and the antelope fell onto the ground in a kneeling position with discernible tears still on its face.The old hunter restlessly cut the Tibetan antelope open. What he had saw made him choke on his breath and the knife fell on the ground with a crash. He saw a baby antelope lying in the womb, surely dead. All of a sudden he realized why the antelope was strong and fat and why it heavily knelt before him and cried: It was imploring him to have mercy on its baby!The old hunter buried the antelope and its unborn baby together with his hunting rifle that day…I will never forget this story. Today I told it to more people and I’d like to point out: In the world the kneeling of loving mothers, whatever of human being or animal is sacred. Lives of all kinds are equal. Let us care about the nature, care about our life with our affection and respect to the life. Hopefully we could live harmoniously, as part of nature.关于美食的三分钟英文演讲篇3Chinese Food Chinese are famous for their cuisine. Chinese are the ultimate gourmet.

M any of the dishes served in China may really s urprise newcomers. And many of these dishe s are so called medicinal dishes believed toh ave extraordinary nutritional value, including Shark Fin, Swallow Nest.Snake soup is among the most treasured sou ps in China. Then there are also snake gall an d blood mixed in liquor which supposedly will brighten your eyes. Some "westernized" Chin ese would suggest that if Adam and Eve had been Chinese we humans would still be in the Garden of Eden as they would have eaten the snake.Chopsticks are the main table utensils in Chin a. Chinese children starts with a spoon but wi ll adapt to chopsticks as early as when he jus t turns one. As a gift chopsticks symbolize str aightforwardness, because of its shape. Chin ese chopsticks don't have pointed tip, unlike t he Japanese style that is refined to pick out t he bones for their main diet, fish. Chinese cho psticks are mostly of bamboo, but today there are more and more wooden ones and plastic ones.Foreigners are not expected to use chopstick s proficiently, but if they do, they will give a mi ghty impression. Therefore before you go to C hina, go to the local Chinese restaurant, if not to find authentic Chinese food, at least you ca n practi ce the use of chopsticks.

8年级下册英语第4单元作文关于父母交流

8年级下册英语第4单元作文关于父母交流全文共6篇示例，供读者参考篇1My Parents Don't Understand MeI wish my parents could understand me better. It feels like we're living in completely different worlds sometimes. They seem to think that just because I'm a kid, I don't know anything or can't have real thoughts and feelings about important stuff. But that's not true at all!I get that they're adults who have been around longer and have more experiences. And of course, they want what's best for me and try to guide me and keep me safe. But why is it so hard for them to actually listen to me and see things from my point of view?Like the other day, I was trying to explain why I really want to go to that music festival with my friends this summer. It's not just to goof around - the lineup has some of my favorite bands that I may never get to see again. Plus, I've been saving up money from my job at the grocery store. I wasn't asking them to pay for it or anything.But as soon as I brought it up, my dad started listing all the reasons why it's a terrible idea - the crowds will be huge, there could be shady people there, what if we get separated, blah blah blah. Before I could even make my case, he had already decided the answer was no.My mom wasn't much better. She got this really worried look on her face and started fretting about me being exhausted from the heat and everything. Then she brought up my grades slipping a little lately and said I should be focusing more on schoolwork instead of "distractions."That's so frustrating! First of all, my grades aren't even that bad. I've had a few Bs recently, but I'm still getting As in most of my classes. Plenty of my friends have worse grades than me and their parents don't freak out like that. Secondly, it's just one weekend during summer break! Am I not allowed to have any fun or take a break from studying?I tried calmly explaining that the festival is really important to me, and that lots of kids my age go to these things with their friends. That's when they pulled out the "You're too young to understand" card and said the conversation was over. Ugh, I hate when they do that!It's like they expect me to be a mindless little robot who does whatever they say without question. As if I can't possibly have my own valid thoughts and feelings on things. Well news flash, I'm not a little kid anymore! I'm about to start high school. At what point are they going to start treating me like someone who can think for themselves?I understand they worry because they love me and want to protect me. But that doesn't mean they get to control every aspect of my life and shut down any opinion that doesn't match theirs. There has to be some middle ground where we can have an actual discussion as equals. Otherwise, what's even the point of trying to communicate?My friend Jayden's parents are so much better at this kind of thing. They have family meetings where everyone gets a chance to speak their mind. If Jayden wants to do something they're unsure about, they'll ask him lots of questions to understand his perspective better before deciding. From what I've seen, they really listen without judging or jumping to conclusions first.That sounds so nice. With my parents, as soon as I bring up anything involving friends or fun, it's just a hard no. They assume the worst possible scenarios and think I'm being irresponsible orgetting into trouble. I really wish they could see that I'm a good kid who is trying my best and knows how to be safe.I'm definitely not perfect, and I get that part of their job is setting boundaries and rules. But maybe if we could actually have open conversations, they'd realize I'm becoming a young adult who can handle more freedom and make smart choices. I don't want to be treated like a misbehaving little kid forever.At the same time, I guess I can see how it might be hard for them to adjust to me growing up. After all, they knew me back when I was throwing tantrums in grocery stores and believing in Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy. From their perspective, I'll probably always be their baby on some level, no matter how old I get.篇2Communicating with Parents: A Key to Strengthening Family BondsAs an eighth-grader, I've come to realize that effective communication with parents is crucial for maintaining a healthy and harmonious family relationship. It's not always easy, but with patience, understanding, and a willingness to listen, we can bridge the gap between generations and foster a stronger bond.I still vividly remember those awkward moments when I was younger, where my parents would ask me about my day, and I would respond with a simple "fine" or "okay." Little did I know that this lack of communication was creating a barrier between us. As I've grown older, I've learned the importance of opening up and sharing my thoughts, feelings, and experiences with my parents.One of the biggest challenges in communicating with parents is finding the right time and setting. Parents are often busy with work and household chores, while we, as students, are occupied with schoolwork and extracurricular activities. It's essential to find a time when both parties are relaxed and free from distractions. For me, this is usually during mealtimes or after completing my homework in the evening.When we do sit down to talk, it's important to approach the conversation with an open mind and a willingness to listen. My parents have lived through experiences that I cannot even begin to comprehend, and their wisdom and guidance can be invaluable. However, it's also crucial for them to understand that times have changed, and we, as the younger generation, face unique challenges and perspectives.One effective way to communicate with parents is to share our interests and passions with them. Whether it's a hobby, a sport, or a subject we're passionate about, involving our parents in these activities can create a common ground for conversation and understanding. It allows them to gain insight into our world and appreciate the things that excite and motivate us.Another aspect of effective communication is being honest and transparent. Sometimes, we may be tempted to hide certain aspects of our lives from our parents, perhaps out of fear or embarrassment. However, this only serves to create distance and mistrust. By being open and honest, even when it's difficult, we can build trust and strengthen our relationship with our parents.Ultimately, effective communication with parents is not just about exchanging words; it's about fostering a deep connection, understanding, and mutual respect. It's about creating a safe space where we can share our hopes, fears, and aspirations without fear of judgment. It's about building a foundation of trust and support that will carry us through the challenges and triumphs of life.As I move closer to adulthood, I recognize the invaluable role my parents have played in shaping who I am today. By communicating openly and honestly with them, I can not onlystrengthen our relationship but also gain invaluable wisdom and guidance for navigating the complexities of life. It's a journey that requires patience, empathy, and a willingness to step outside our comfort zones, but the rewards are immeasurable.篇3The Importance of Talking to My ParentsBeing a middle schooler, I often find myself in this awkward phase where I'm not a little kid anymore, but I'm also not quite a grown-up yet. It's a confusing time, and I have a lot of thoughts and feelings that can be hard to express. That's why it's so important for me to communicate openly with my parents.I know it might sound strange, but my parents are actually two of my best friends. Sure, we have our differences and disagreements, but at the end of the day, they're the ones who truly understand me and want the best for me. They've been there for me through thick and thin, and they've seen me grow and change over the years.Talking to my parents about what's going on in my life has been a game-changer. Whether it's a problem I'm having at school, a fight with a friend, or just general anxiety about growing up, my parents have always been there to listen withoutjudgment. They offer advice and support, and they help me see things from a different perspective.One of the most important things my parents have taught me is the value of honesty. They've made it clear that I can come to them with anything, and they'll do their best to help me through it. Even if I've made a mistake or done something wrong, they'd rather I be upfront about it than try to hide it or lie.Communication isn't just about me venting or asking for advice, though. It's a two-way street. My parents also share things about their lives with me, whether it's struggles they're facing at work or concerns they have about my siblings or other family members. It's a reminder that we're all human, and we all have our own challenges to deal with.One of the things I appreciate most about my parents is that they don't just lecture me or tell me what to do. They actually listen to what I have to say, and they value my opinions and perspectives. Even if they don't agree with me, they make an effort to understand where I'm coming from.That's not to say that we never argue or disagree. We're all individuals with our own thoughts and beliefs, and it's natural for there to be some friction from time to time. But even when we'rein the midst of a heated argument, there's still a underlying foundation of love, respect, and open communication.I know that not everyone has the same kind of relationship with their parents that I do. Some kids have parents who are distant or emotionally unavailable, while others have parents who are overly strict or controlling. But for me, having open lines of communication with my parents has been invaluable.It's helped me navigate the ups and downs of being a middle schooler, and it's given me a safe space to express myself without fear of judgment or punishment. It's also taught me the importance of honesty, empathy, and mutual respect in any kind of relationship.As I get older and face new challenges and experiences, I know that my relationship with my parents will continue to evolve. But no matter what, I'll always value the open communication we've cultivated over the years. It's a gift that has shaped who I am and will continue to guide me as I grow into an adult.So, to any other middle schoolers out there who might be struggling to connect with their parents, my advice is this: don't be afraid to open up and share what's on your mind. Your parents love you and want to understand you, even if they don'talways show it in the way you'd like. And remember, communication is a two-way street. Listen to your parents, too, and try to see things from their perspective.It might not always be easy, but cultivating open and honest communication with your parents is one of the most valuable things you can do. Trust me, it'll make navigating these awkward middle school years a whole lot easier.篇4Talking With My Parents: An Uphill BattleBeing a teenager is tough. We're caught in this weirdin-between stage – not quite kids anymore but certainly not adults either. And one of the biggest challenges is communicating with our parents. Why is it so hard? I've been pondering that question a lot lately.On the one hand, I get that my parents just want what's best for me. They've been through way more life experiences than I have. Mom and Dad have made plenty of mistakes themselves and they're trying to guide me so I don't repeat those same errors. I know they truly care and only have my interests at heart.But hello? This is the 21st century! The world is rapidly changing and a lot of the "wisdom" they're trying to impart doesn't really apply anymore. My parents grew up in a completely different era without all the technology, social pressures, and opportunities that exist today. How can their advice really be relevant?And let's be real – parents can be sooooooo embarrassing! It's like they completely forget what it was like to be a teenager. The cringeworthy jokes, the outdated slang, the mortifying stories they love to tell my friends…could they be any more humiliating? I love my parents but sometimes I just want to disappear when they start that stuff.Another issue is that parents tend to lecture way too much. Like sorry, I get it, you're the adult and you think you know everything. But could you maybe let me get a word in edgewise once in a while? A conversation is a two-way street but with parents it always feels so one-sided.Then there's the total lack of privacy and freedom that parents tend to enforce. Yes, I know I live under your roof so I have to follow your rules. But I'm not a little kid anymore! I've shown I can be trusted so why can't I have some independence?All the checking up, the criticism, and the restrictions are just so frustrating.And maybe the biggest challenge of all – parents never truly listen or try to understand things from our perspective. They get this one-track mind where they think they have everything figured out. Even if we try to explain our side, it usually falls on deaf ears. How is that fair?With all that said, I do recognize that good communication is a two-way street. We teenagers could definitely make more of an effort as well. Sometimes we get surly or tune our parents out just as much as they tune us out. The eye-rolling, stomping off, and one-word answers surely don't help matters.We could try being more patient and polite even when our parents are getting on our nerves. A little respect can go a long way. It's also on us to clearly and calmly explain our point of view instead of just shutting down the conversation.At the end of the day, our parents were once teenagers themselves not too long ago. And in the blink of an eye, we'll be parents too having to deal with eye-rolling, stubborn teens of our own. The generation gap and lack of understanding between parents and kids has been around forever and it's probably not going away anytime soon.So maybe the key is to accept that my parents and I are going to butt heads and not see eye-to-eye sometimes. But if we can learn to stop talking AT each other and instead talk WITH each other, that's a great first step. With patience, compromise, and a genuine effort to listen to the other side, the communication barriers can slowly start to crumble.Because despite all the dramatics and miscommunications, I really do love my parents. And I know they love me just as fiercely. We all want the same thing – to understand and support each other as we navigate the insanity of life together. Even if we have to agree to disagree sometimes, having that unconditional love and support is everything.Underneath all the conflict, there has to be a way for parents and teens to meet in the middle. I'm hopeful that if we keep working at it, someday we'll get there. In the meantime, I'll keep taking deep breaths and trying to have more open, honest conversations. Maybe I'll slip in some of those cringeworthy dad jokes too – that might finally make my parents laugh and loosen things up!篇5Talking With My Parents - Not As Easy As It Seems!Have you ever felt like your parents just don't understand you, no matter how much you try to explain? Or maybe you feel like they nag you about every little thing and never listen to your side of the story? Don't worry, you're not alone! Communicating with parents can be really hard sometimes.I'm Timmy, and I'm in 8th grade this year. My parents are both really busy with their jobs, but they still try their best to be involved in my life. The problem is, we often have a hard time actually communicating and seeing eye-to-eye on things.Let me give you an example. Just the other day, my dad was bugging me about my grades in math class. He kept saying stuff like "You need to spend more time studying!" and "When I was your age, I aced all my math tests!" I tried explaining to him that I do study, but I'm just having a hard time understanding some of the concepts we're covering. I really am trying my best! But it felt like he wasn't even listening.It's not just my dad either. Sometimes it feels like my mom and I are speaking totally different languages. Like when I told her I wanted to try out for the basketball team, she got all worried and started listing a million reasons why it might be a bad idea. "What if you get injured? You'll have even less time forhomework!" Again, I tried to explain my side, but she had already made up her mind.I know my parents care about me and only want what's best. But why is it so hard for them to actually listen to me? It's like as soon as I start talking, their minds are already made up about whatever issue we're discussing. Super frustrating!Despite all the communication troubles, I do have a pretty good relationship with my parents overall. We've worked through a lot of these issues by making an effort to really hear each other out. My parents have gotten better about letting me explain my perspective, instead of just jumping to conclusions. And I've learned that if I approach them in a calmer way and pick my moments, they're more likely to listen.For example, with the math thing, I waited until the next day when my dad was relaxed after work. Then I said something like "Hey dad, I know you're concerned about my math grade, but I'm really trying my best. Could you help me go over some practice problems? That might help me understand it better." He was way more open to hearing me out in that calm moment.With my mom and the basketball thing, I did some research first on how being on a team can actually help students manage their time better and teach discipline. Then I presented the factsto her in a logical way, instead of just getting emotional and insisting she was wrong. I think the prep work helped convince her to at least consider it.I've realized that a big part of communicating better is choosing the right time and approach. If I raise an issue when my parents are already stressed or frustrated about something else, chances are they'll be less patient in listening. It's better to pick a calm, relaxed moment. And presenting facts and explaining things rationally, instead of just venting emotions, goes a lot further.Don't get me wrong, there are still plenty of times when my parents and I struggle to communicate effectively. We're very different people at very different stages in life. But as long as we all make an effort to hear each other out and approach things patiently, things usually work out okay in the end.My advice? Keep trying, stay calm, and remember that your parents were once teenagers too who felt just as misunderstood as you might now. With some effort on both sides, the communication will get better over time. And who knows, you might even find yourself appreciating your parents' perspective more as you get older! For now, I'm just taking it one conversation at a time.篇6Communication with Parents: Bridging the GapBeing an 8th grader is like living in a constant whirlwind of emotions, hormones, and the never-ending struggle to find your place in this world. It's a time when you're no longer a child, but not quite an adult either. And in the midst of all this chaos, navigating the relationship with your parents can feel like a minefield. But let me tell you, communication is the key to survival.I'll be honest, sometimes it feels like my parents speak a different language altogether. They nag, they lecture, and they always seem to think they know what's best for me. But here's the thing – they're not wrong (as much as it pains me to admit it). They've been around the block a few times, and they've got a wealth of experience that I can't even begin to fathom.That's why it's so important to keep those lines of communication open, even when it feels like the last thing you want to do. Because when you really listen to your parents, you might just learn something valuable.Now, I know what you're thinking – easier said than done, right? Trust me, I've been there. There have been times when I'vebeen so frustrated with my parents that I've wanted to scream (and let's be real, sometimes I have). But that's when I've had to take a deep breath and remind myself that they're not the enemy. They're just trying to guide me through this crazy thing called life.And you know what? When I've actually sat down and had an honest conversation with them, it's been eye-opening. Sure, they might not always agree with my choices or understand my thought process, but at least they're willing to listen. And that's half the battle right there.Communication isn't just about talking, though. It's about being open and vulnerable, even when it's uncomfortable. It's about sharing your hopes, your fears, and your dreams with the people who love you most. And yes, it can be scary to put yourself out there like that, but the payoff is worth it.Think about it – your parents have been through it all. They've experienced heartbreak, disappointment, and triumph. They've made mistakes and learned from them. And when you open up to them, you're tapping into a wellspring of wisdom that can help you navigate the choppy waters of adolescence.And let's not forget the little things – the inside jokes, the shared memories, and the moments of pure joy that come fromconnecting with your parents on a deeper level. Those are the moments that make all the effort worthwhile.Look, I'm not going to sit here and pretend that communicating with your parents is always going to be sunshine and rainbows. There will be times when you butt heads, when you disagree, and when you just want to retreat to your room and shut the world out. But that's okay – that's part of growing up.What's important is that you keep trying, keep talking, and keep being open to understanding each other. Because at the end of the day, your parents are your biggest cheerleaders, your most loyal supporters, and the ones who will always have your back, no matter what.So, embrace the awkwardness, lean into the vulnerability, and never stop communicating with your parents. It might just be the key to unlocking a whole new level of understanding, respect, and love.。

The year 2055 as I see it
Hi everyone!Today’s topic is so interesting as I see.Well,seem like everybody is lookig forword to going to the future,because they want to get more new things and the knowledge people now haven’t ever knew.Then can get more honor.Maybe a lot of money,a good job.And then,they can get more and more popular in the world.So,some scientists are studing it very hard.But I think less of then are not doing for money and just for world.
I have read a book named 2055 and I have read it several times.It’s about a boy called Xu Ruoxuan who was frozen by the avalanche in 2010.Then in 2055,a doctor called Bigu bring him back.He is a successful man and only he knows the Frozen Resurrection(冰冻复活术).Then he is almost changed suol by another doctor.She does the dangerous operation and it is illgel.So she came to the Dalan Isldand and worked in this hospital.Xu Ruoxuan is clever and he escapes with another girl.And then he knows most land in the world was flooded in 2043.So they can not see any colthes and they can only wear something made of carbon dioxide(二氧化碳).It is not comfortalbe at all!After that, in 2044 bird flu transmitted very quickly.Most people died because of it.All the people is afraid and they kill all the birds!Imagine that!And now(2055),he can just eat Molecule Food.
If the world turns into this,maybe I cannot adapetd.I hoped the world will be better and better.Maybe in the future,we can use robots and let the do housework,buy things,play songs,even be your secretary! How amazing!
We are members of our societ.Let think about carefully.I hope all the people can be rich and happy.And all kinds of people are equal.No racial discrimination,no wars.Eveybody helps each other.That is a satisfying world!
If we save the environment,in the future,the grass will be greener,the sky will be bluer,the air will be fresher.Then all the people will live more comfortable.And you can’t see facemask any more!That’s all I wanna say.Thanks for listenning!。
