禁止在楼道停放电动车的通知英语作文全文共3篇示例,供读者参考篇1A Plea to Keep Our Corridors ClearAs students living in these dormitories, we've all experienced the frustration of trying to navigate our floor's hallways and corridors while they are obstructed by parked electric bikes, scooters, and other personal mobility devices. While I understand the convenience these transportation methods offer, allowing them to be stored in our shared indoor spaces is disruptive, unsafe, and needs to be addressed.Just this morning, I was running late for my 9 AM lecture after hitting snooze one too many times. As I rushed out of my room and into the corridor, I nearly tripped over a electric scooter lying horizontally across the narrow hallway. I stumbled but kept my balance, though my heavy backpack weight shifted precariously. Thankfully there was nobody behind me who could have been injured by a collision. However, the delay caused by having to awkwardly sidestep the scooter made me miss my bus, which made me 10 minutes late to class.This is just one example of the obstacles and hazards that inconsiderately placed electric vehicles can create. Our corridors and hallways are simply too narrow for these modes of transportation to be parked in them without blocking a substantial portion of the walking path. Larger bikes and scooters can effectively cut off the hallway entirely if placed widthwise. Even if carefully aligned lengthwise, they still take up enough space to force residents to awkwardly shuffle past in single file.For anyone using a wheelchair, walker, or other mobility assistance device, navigating a corridor obstructed by parked electric vehicles becomes extraordinarily difficult if not downright impossible. Those with larger frames or carrying heavy loads also struggle. And anyone who is visually impaired has an elevated risk of injuring themselves by accidentally colliding with an obstructing vehicle left in the middle of the corridor.Speaking from personal experience, I recently underwent surgery on my right knee and spent a month on crutches. During that time, the simple act of leaving or entering my room became an exercise in caution and frustration as I tried to maneuver my crutches around randomly strewn scooters and bikes that had nobusiness being left in the hallway. More than once, I nearly took a tumble because I had to abruptly stop short when the corridor was blocked, unable to find a clear path wide enough for my crutches.These abandoned electric vehicles strewn about our hallways also present a serious fire safety hazard. Lithium-ion batteries have been known to spontaneously combust and the resulting fires are extremely difficult to contain or extinguish with conventional methods. Should such a fire start, not only would the offending vehicle itself be destroyed, but the blaze could rapidly spread and block all escape routes from our floor. In a corridor choked with bikes, scooters, and other flammable obstacles, it would be impossible for residents to evacuate without risking injury from falling and pileups.In addition to fire risks, these haphazardly abandoned electric vehicles create other safety issues as well. Items left in hallways and corridors become tripping hazards and obstacles in the event of an emergency evacuation. They could also potentially be used as makeshift barricades in an active shooter situation, further endangering lives. No matter how innocuous they may seem, allowing large objects to freely obstruct our shared pathways is a dereliction of proper safety protocols.From an accessibility and legal liability perspective, having hallways and building access routes routinely blocked by personal transportation devices is a lawsuit waiting to happen. Buildings are required to maintain clear paths of travel that are accessible to all residents, including those with mobility disabilities. By allowing electric bikes and scooters to be parked in interior corridors, our dormitories are violating accessibility regulations and opening themselves up to potential legal action.While these inconsiderately parked electric vehicles are certainly an annoyance and frequent obstacle, they could outright prevent residents with certain disabilities from being able to enter or exit their rooms at all if the corridor is completely blocked. That is an unacceptable situation that violates housing rights and anti-discrimination laws. A single lawsuit along those lines would be tremendously costly and embarrassing for our university.Beyond just the physical and safety hazards, there is also the principal of simple courtesy and respect for our shared spaces to consider. Our building corridors are intended for the free passage of residents and building staff, not as personal storage areas. By taking up valuable shared space with their possessions, those who park electric vehicles in the hallways demonstrate aselfish lack of regard for their neighbor's right to accessible and unimpeded building access.Having to constantly navigate around randomly scattered electric bikes and scooters is not only annoying, it communicates an unwelcoming and chaotic environment that detracts from our collegiate experience. Our dormitory experience should be one of order and community, not one of pedestrians being forced to stumble through an obstacle course of carelessly abandoned vehicles every time they want to go about their day.Additionally, exterior walkways and patios are common areas that are meant to be enjoyed by all residents, not appropriated as personal parking lots. Littering these shared outdoor spaces with electric vehicles diminishes their visual appeal, making the entire area look more like a vehicle staging zone than an inviting collegiate environment. There is a reasonable expectation that our dormitory's common spaces should be focused on community building, not facilitating an unsightly and inconvenient clutter of personal transportation devices.I recognize that many students find electric bikes, scooters, and other personal electric vehicles to be a convenient and environmentally friendly way to transit across campus. And thereare certainly times and situations where it makes sense to be able to park closer to your destination, such as for students with mobility disabilities. However, indiscriminately parking these items in building corridors is not the solution. Dedicated parking areas and docking stations should be established to provide for proper electric vehicle storage.Our dormitory already provides a number of enclosed bike storage rooms, as well as outdoor bike racks for that purpose. While these facilities were originally intended for traditional bicycles, they could easily be updated to also accommodate a reasonable number of electric bikes and scooters, complete with charging ports if necessary. These secure storage areas would keep our corridors clear while still allowing residents to conveniently keep their electric transportation devices on premises.Even without modifying the existing bike rooms, simple painted parking boxes could be created in select areas of the ground floor to designate approved electric vehicle parking zones. These zones could be sited in ways that do not impede accessibility while still providing convenient parking options for those residents who truly need them. Enforcement camerascould be installed to levy fines against those who fail to properly use the designated parking areas.My purpose in writing this letter is not to call for an outright ban on electric bikes, scooters, or other personal electric transportation devices themselves. When used properly, these emission-free alternatives to cars and busses can play an important role in reducing our campus's carbon footprint and supporting sustainability efforts. I only object to the practice of parking them in hallways, lobbies, stairwells, and other common areas where they create obstructions and potential hazards.We share these residence halls, and with that sharing comes a mutual obligation of respect, consideration, and responsibility. Just as we wouldn't think of leaving our electric bicycles strewn about in lounges or study rooms, we should extend that same courtesy to keeping our building corridors clear and unobstructed. Electric vehicles are wonderful personal mobility tools, but they need to be properly stored when not in use, not simply abandoned wherever is most immediately convenient.By strictly prohibiting the parking of electric bikes, scooters, and other personal transportation devices in our building's shared interior spaces, we can keep our hallways safe, accessible, and uncluttered for all residents. At the same time, we can createdesignated parking areas for those who truly need to keep their electric transportation devices on hand. A balanced solution is possible, but it requires all of us to be mindful of the impacts our mobility choices have on others.Our residence halls should be a shared community where all residents feel welcomed, respected and safe. Carelessly obstructing our corridors with personal property demonstrates a lack of regard for that community and prioritizes individual convenience over basic accessibility and safety. We deserve better, which is why I urge campus housing authorities to take action and put policies in place that will keep our hallways clear and hazard-free for everyone. Our collegiate experience and quality of life depends on it.篇2Notice Prohibiting Electric Vehicles in the HallwaysYo dudes and dudettes! I've got something seriously irritating to rant about today. You know that obnoxious notice the housing department just put up about not parking electric vehicles like scooters and hoverboards in the hallways? Yeah, that one that's cramping our style big time.I get that they're trying to keep things safe and all, but come on - we're supposed to be at the cutting edge here! Electric transportation is where it's at. It's the future, people! How are we supposed to be environmentally conscious while also living that efficient, on-the-go lifestyle if we can't even park our rides in the hallway for easy access?Apparently the housing staff is worried about the fire hazard from the lithium batteries. Sure, I guess there have been a few cases of those things combusting. But don't they know how ridiculous the odds of that happening are? We're talking astronomical levels of improbability here. It's like getting struck by lightning while also winning the lottery. Twice.And let's not forget the convenience factor we're sacrificing here. You know how groggy and sluggish we all are first thing in the morning before that first cup of rocket fuel...I mean coffee. How are we supposed to successfully operate a normal mode of transportation at that hour? With electric transpo parked right outside our doors, we don't even have to fully wake up to get to class! Just cruise on over while mentally still in dreamland. Genius.Then there's the argument about them obstructing the hallways and creating a safety hazard. Um, hello? Have you seenthe sizes of some of these things? They're tiny! Smaller than some of the rascal scooters the elderly residents use to get around. We could probably park two or three comfortably next to each other and still have room for people to pass by no problem. Sheesh, talk about overreacting.And don't even get me started on the environmental impact we'd be avoiding. Emissions from all those gas guzzlers getting driven across campus? No thank you. We're academics after all - we're supposed to be championing eco-friendly practices at every turn. By stifling our access to clean electric transportation, the housing department is pretty much dooming planet Earth. Way to be, guys.Then there's the "aesthetic" argument that our sweet rides are just too unsightly to be stored anywhere other than our rooms or some dank basement closet. Since when did this institution get so snobby about design and decor? Last I checked, minimalist cinderblock chic was all the rage around here. Our whips would class up those drab hallways more than anything.Of course, all of this is to say nothing of the financial burden this edict is placing on us poor, broke students. You know how much it costs to park a gas guzzler on campus? Enough to wipe out an entire meal plan! With electric transportation though, wewouldn't need permits or passes. Those savings could go toward, oh I don't know...books? Supplies? Heck, even tuition! Why is the administration trying to bleed us dry at every turn?At the end of the day, we all know the real reason behind this crackdown - the housing folks are jealous. Jealous that we've got the coolest new tech on two (or one) wheels while they're stuck plodding around like peasants from the dark ages. They're just intimidated by our ability to effortlessly merge cutting-edge environmentalism with ultimate convenience.Well you know what I say to that? Vive la resistance! Who's with me? We can't let this oppressive regime smash our mobility rights. Maybe it's time to take a page from the revolting revolutionaries of yesteryear and stage some peaceful protest rides around campus. Cruising in looping circuits through the academic buildings chanting "No rules, just electric fuel!" while waving signs bearing slogans like "The Shockingly Good Ride of the Future!"Okay, maybe that's a bit much. But you get my point. We shouldn't just meekly accept this misguided policy - we've got to fight back! Or at the very least, flood the housing department with letters and emails expressing our outrage. Power to the eco-friendly proletariat! Vroom vroom!篇3A Notice No Student Wants to SeeYou know that sinking feeling when you see an official notice posted around campus? The one that warns of some new rule or regulation that is definitely going to cramp your style? Well, I got that feeling the other day when I saw a bright red sign go up in the lobby of my dorm building. In big bold letters it declared "NO PARKING OF ELECTRIC VEHICLES IN HALLWAYS OR STAIRWELLS."My heart sank a little as I read it. You see, like many students nowadays, I have an electric scooter or "e-scooter" that I use to buzz around campus. It's so convenient for quickly getting to classes across the sprawling university grounds. And I'll admit, I was one of those people who would just park my scooter in the hallway right outside my dorm room. I never thought it was that big of a deal.But now, with this new policy, the party seems to be over for us e-scooter owners. No more keeping our trusty rides right outside our doors for easy access. We have to find somewhere else to store them, and that's a massive inconvenience if you ask me.I can already hear the administration's arguments for this heavy-handed new rule. "The hallways are fire hazards if they're blocked!" "Emergency vehicles and personnel can't get through!" "People could trip over the scooters!" Yeah, yeah, I've heard it all before from the admins.But let me tell you, having lived in the dorms for two years now, the hallways are never that crowded. There's always plenty of room to navigate around, even with a couple scooters stuck here and there. We students are responsible people who try to be courteous with where we put our stuff.As for fire risks, I've never once heard a smoke alarm go off in the building that wasn't caused by someone burning popcorn or something similarly harmless. We're adults here, and we know not to block fire exits or crucial pathways. A couple of scooters sitting off to the side has never been an issue in the past.Then there's the tripping argument. Is that really a big enough hazard to ban e-scooters from the halls entirely? I mean, there are all sorts of potential tripping hazards around - from loose tiles to wet floor signs. We all just need to watch where we're going and it's not a problem. No one's going to be seriously injured by a stray scooter in the hallway.To me, this whole new policy feels like another instance of the over-protective, bloated university administration flexing its muscles and making our lives just a little bit harder for no good reason. As if the astronomical tuition costs and subpar dorm conditions weren't enough for us to deal with already.I know I'll get used to having to park my scooter outside or down in the bike rooms eventually. But it's just such an inconvenience, you know? There's going to be a lot more walking and hauling and wasted time involved in my day now. All because some office drone decided having some scooters out in the hallway for a little while was too risky or untidy for their tastes.It makes me wonder what the real motivation is here. Knowing the way the university works, I wouldn't be surprised if there's some ancillary money-making scheme behind it all. Are they going to try to rent out paid scooter parking spaces next? Or maybe fine students caught with their scooters out? It wouldn't be the first time they've nickel-and-dimed us this way.Whatever the reason, I think this policy is a mistake. Thee-scooters make getting around so much easier for us perpetually-rushing students. Having them close at hand is really convenient. Forcing us to park them somewhere out of the way isbound to discourage their use, at least for shorter trips around campus. And in an era when we're supposed to be reducing emissions and traffic, why would you want to disincentivize environmentally-friendly transportation like this?I also worry that this move is just the next step in a wider campus campaign against alternative mobility aids likee-scooters and e-bikes. With the way admins seem to over-react to even the slightest potential risks, I could see them trying to ban them from campus entirely somewhere down the line. And that would be a huge loss for students like me who don't have cars and rely on them to get around quickly.So in my view, the university really dropped the ball with this arbitrary and heavy-handed new "no scooters in hallways" policy. They didn't properly consider the impacts and conveniences it takes away from students. As usual, it feels like a matter of aggressive rules being put in place, not for any genuinely justified reasons of safety or necessity, but to exercise control and make the campus appear "neater" to outsiders.If you ask me, this whole notices smacks of overzealous admin overreach. And as a student having my day-to-day life inconvenienced by it, I have to say: this policy sucks. Here's to hoping cooler heads prevail and it gets reversed soon. Becausethere's nothing worse than unnecessary red tape interfering with your college experience and making things harder than they need to be.。

ACHAMBORD CASTLE, LOIR-ET-CHER, FRANCEA remarkable example of classical French architecture, Chambord Castle is the largest castle in the Loire Valley of France. Built in 1519 as a hunting-lodge for the royal -court, the building-was rarely lived in. There are one hundred rooms (of 440) open to the public and dozens of staircases;including one said to have been designed by Leonardo da Vinci. The surrounding 21-square-mile nature park entertains with hiking;and-biking routes and boat rentals.LEEDS GASTEE;KEM;UNITED KINGDOMSituated on two islands in the middle of a lake, Leeds Castle provides a grand and romantic experience. It has served as a royal residence for most of its 900-year history. The 500-acre English castle now hosts year-round cultural events, with three restaurants, a bed-and-breakfast and a yew tree maze.MOSZNA CASTLE, POLANDMoszna Castle was originally designed in Baroque style in the 17th century, but the later addition of a neo-Gothic brought Hogwarts appeal to the castle, especially at night when its 99 towers and glowing windows twinkle in the outdoor reflecting pool.

BRAN CASTLE.BTourists to the North Antrim Coast come for its breathtaking beauty. On this stretch of coast, myth and history live side by side and running out of things to do is near impossible:Giant’s Causeway Carrick-a-Rede, the Iron-Isles’ filming locations ...However, when I make my way to the north of the country in October, none of them are on my mind. What brings me to the coastal town of Portrush are the waves.Located on a peninsula, Portrush is home to three brilliant beaches and all the usual points of interest of a coastal town. But what makes the North Antrim Coast so special is the promise of the consistent waves hitting its shores. Although still relatively unknown, it's a surfer's dream destination. This is the home of six-time Irish national surfing champion, Andrew Hill, after all.I meet Andrew at his surf shop, the most popular in Portrush. After hiring a surf board and jumping in the water at West Strand, I quickly realise that my trusted wetsuit is not enough. Within just 30 minutes, I’ve lost all feeling in my feet and hands, and my ears are burning. I retreat to a nearby cafe and gulp down steaming tea before popping by Andrew's shop again. Surf boots are what I need, we decide. I leave with a new determination to master the icy Atlantic waves. I’m invited to surf a different spot with Andrew and his friend that afternoon, but I decline his generous offer My head is set on one thing only: taking revenge on the same waves that almost turned me into an ice block that every morning.Even with boots, surfing the cold waters of Portrush leaves my feet purple. I become coveredin bruises that don’t register until I thaw out each night, and it takes a couple of days to fully regain feeling in my hands.

This precious cargo, collected by Chang'e-5's robotic research vehicle in the northwest region of the lunar near side, is now being studied by scientists in Beijing. The success of the latest Chinese space mission also showcased technology that may be used in future years to create human settlements on Earth's near neighbour.The returned lunar samples will “absolutely add new knowledge of the history of the moon, particularly its volcanoes,” says Xiao Long, a planetary scientist at China University of Geosciences. The rocks sent back by Chang’e-5 “will ask us to rethink about why and how the moon's volcanic history lasted this long,” he says.The Chang’e-5 mission was more than just a trip to collect moon rocks. It was also the latest stage of a long, planned sequence of robotic lunar explorations by China that have grown ever more scientifically advanced.The program began with the 2007 launch of Chang'e-1 and Chang'e-2 three years later These craft circled the moon collecting data used to help guide Chang’e-3 and Chang'e-4, the firstChinese spacecraft to land on the moon surface, and to direct their robotic vehicles. The robot on Chang'e-5 was able to collect rock and soil samples and return them to Earth. In the near future, an identical spacecraft called Chang’e-6 win attempt a sample-return mission from the moon’s south pole — an area of intense scientific interest-- given the large amount of water ice present.The more advanced Chang’e-7 and Chang’e-8 spacecraft are also planned to land near the south pole to carry out analysis of the region and test new technologies, including detecting and obtaining materials that could be useful to-future human explorers, such as water and hydrogen, and-testing 3-D printing on the lunar surface.The long-term aim of the --Chang'e program is to establish an International Lunar Research Station around 2030 to support robotic and, eventually, crewed missions.28. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?A.The moon's recent volcanic activities.B.The significance of the moon rock samples.C.New knowledge of the history of the moon.D.Further studies of the returned lunar samples.29.What distinguishes the mission of Chang,e-6 from that of Changes-5?A.The technology they use.B.The time they spend on the moon.C.The specific locations they explore.D.The amount of material they bring back.30.Chang-e-7 and Chang'e-8 space missions are mainly intended toA. transport researchers to the moon stationB.build up an International-Lunar Research StationC.collect data necessary to guide moon-landing spacecraftD.find and test resources and means to support living on the moon31.Which of the following best summarizes the Chang'e space program?A. A project to study the surface of the moon.B. A plan to improve human settlements on the moon.C. A set of experiments to test the possibility of manned spacecraft.D. A series of increasingly challenging scientific lunar explorations.DWhat makes people so special? Tool use, self-consciousness, language, and culture are high on the list, but in fact all of these characteristics can be found elsewhere in the animal kingdom. Humans and apes are close relatives, so it is perhaps not surprising that chimpanzees use tools or that gorillas (大猩猩)have a sense of fair play, even rejecting carrots (which they normally accept) when they see their neighbors getting grapes. But the qualifies that we often think of as uniquelyhuman exist not just on land, but in the ocean as well;Among the invertebrates, octopuses (八爪鱼) are known for their intelligence, even exhibiting evidence of playfulness, tool use, and personality. But these skilled predators live alone and consequently lack culture. Dolphins, on the other hand, are large-brained, long-living, social-group-based predators, and it is here that we find the greatest similarity to human-like culture and awareness.Culture depends on the ability of animals to pass on things they have learned to others. Many animals have culture in this sense, but what sets dolphins apart is what they pass on. Some bottlenose dolphins hold sponges in their mouths that they use as tools to sweep for fish hiding on the ocean floor. This ability is handed down through generations (especially in females), with some families -- grandmother, mother; and daughter --all feeding in this highly specialized way.Another characteristic that dolphins share with humans is their ability to recognize themselves in a minor When facing a mirror; most animals behave as though they are interacting with another individual. Even in humans, the ability to recognize that the image in a mirror is oneself does not occur before the age of 18 months. Dolphins not only recognize themselves, but if a black mark is put on the body of a dolphin, it will spend extra time at the mirror to look at the mark.32.The example of gorillas rejecting carrots shows they_______.A. are not easy to foolB.prefer fruits to vegetablesC.have a special taste for foodD.have an awareness of equality33.What do octopuses lack compared with dolphins?A.Social interactionB. Intelligence.C. Tool using ability;D. Fun-loving spirits.34.What makes dolphin culture special?A.They tend to hunt in groups.B.Their hunting skills are passed down.C.Their learning environment is favourable.D.Their families are typically female-controlled35. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A.Dolphins enjoy looking at their own reflection in the mirrorB.Dolphins are as intelligent as a typical 18-month-old human babyC.Dolphins are generally regarded as the most advanced non-human species.D.Dolphins’ ability to recognize their own reflection is a higher-order mental第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

iUnit 1 Section CItem 2Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf says Pakistan and India are both optimistic about resolving their dispute over the Himalayan region of Kashmir, which both countries claim. In an exclusive interview with the Associated Press, General Musharraf says he hopes to settle the issue with Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh while they’re both in power. Mr. Singh and General Musharraf are expected to try to move their peace dialogue forward when they meet next week in New Y ork at the United Nations General Assembly meeting.Item 3North Korea is demanding that Tokyo immediately lift sanctions imposed on Pyongyang in response to its test-launch of missiles. A North Korean envoy to Japan says his country will retaliate with stronger measures if the sanctions are not lifted. After North Korea test-fired seven missiles, Tokyo barred a North Koreans ferry from Japanese ports for six months and banned North Korean officials from entering the country. South Korea today rejected Pyongyang’s request for military talks, saying they were inappropriate at this time. But it said ministerial talks will go ahead as scheduled next week.Section D Item 2The State Department says V enezuelan police failed to protect the U.S. ambassador there as demonstrators threw eggs and food at his car. Spokesman Sean McCormack said V enezuela’s ambassador to the U.S. was summoned to the State Department to hear the U.S. complaint. A spokesman for the U.S. embassy in Caracas said groups of motorcyclists attacked the car carrying Ambassador William Brownfield. He said V enezuelan police escorts did nothing to stop the demonstrators who pounded on the car and chased it for miles. The embassy spokesman said the attack appeared to have been organized by the Caracas May or’s office. A spokesman for the mayor denied that charge. The U.S. has been at odds with V enezuelan President Hugo Chavez for several years.Item 3Russia has expressed regret for the killing of a Japanese fisherman today when a patrol vessel fired at a warning shot at a fishing boat near the disputed Kuril Islands. But Russia’s Foreign Ministry says in a statement that Japan is at fault for the incident because it does not curb Japanese fishing in Russian waters. Japan has launched a strong protest as we hear from VOA’s Steve Herman in Tokyo.“A diplomatic row broke out between Japan and Russia on Wednesday following the shooting death of a Japanese fisherman in waters claimed by both countries. The incident took place ear the island chain the Russians call the Kurils and the Japanese call the Northern Territories. The islands were seized from Japan by the Soviet Union in the closing days of world War II and have been under Russia control ever since, but Japan still claims them. Foreign Minister Taro Aso af ter summoning Russia’s deputy ambassador told reporters in Tokyo that the killing of the Japanese fisherman was an outrageous act. Steve Herman, VOA News, Tokyo.”Unit 2 Section CItem 2And a meeting in New Y ork between the foreign ministers of Guatemala and V enezuela has failed to resolve the deadlock over which country will represent Latin America and the Caribbean as a non-permanent member on the United Nations Security Council. In a BBC interview after the meeting, the Venezuelan Foreign Minister Nicolas Maduro blamed Cuatemala for the ongoing impasse. He said it had shown no interest in agreeing to a compromised canidate.Item 3Africa’s first female elected leader met with President Bush at the White House today. Liberian President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf met with Mr. Bush in the Oval Office and then the two had lunch together in the White House’s East Room. Among the issues the two discussed, there is a request for Nigeria to hand over former Liberian President Charles Taylor, who is wanted on war crimes charges. She told reporters today that she asked Mr. Bush for help. Taylor has been living in exile in Nigeria. Many Liberians blamed him for fueling a civil war that ravaged the country.Section D Item 2Environment ministers and officials from more than 20 countries have ended four days of informal talks in Greenland in efforts to deal with global warming. Danish environment Minister Connie Hedegaard, the meeting’s host, called on participants to stop blaming one another for global warming and take concerted action. Participants of the meeting in Greenland’s Arctic town of Elucigot included the United States, China and several European countries. They focused on possible action after the first phase of the Kyoto Protocol, an accord on reducing global warming. It expires until 2012. U.N.studies show that global warming could melt polar icecaps and push thousands of species close to extinction.Item 3G-8 leaders are gathering near Edinburgh, Scotland at this hour for a summit that will focus on aid to Africa and protecting the environment. They are expected to endorse a write-off of more than 40 billion dollars in debt owed by 18 African countries mainly in the sub-Saharan region. On a stop in Denmark en route to Scotland, President Bush said he would emphasize the need for African nations to commit to good government to get the increased aid. In villages near the G-8 conference site demonstrators smashed car windows and fought with riot police. Some tried to storm barricades surrounding the conference site and dozens were arrested.Unit 3 Section CItem 2The United Nations relief agency says an attack on a displaced persons' camp in Sudan's western Darfur region has reportedly left 29 people dead and 10 seriously injured. A spokeswoman for the UN High Commissioner for Refugees told VGA it' s the first time that a displaced persons' camp has been attacked in more than two years of civil war. The spokesman says up to 300 armed Arab men on horses and camels attacked the camp on Wednesday.Item 3The United Nations World Food Program has appealed urgently for donations of more than 150 million dollars to prevent a food crisis in southern Africa. It warned that almost 10 million people across six countries—Zambia, Zimbabwe, Malawi, Mozambique, Lesotho and Swaziland—urgently needed food aid. The shortages are blamed on drought and the effects of HIV/AIDS and chronic poverty. A BBC correspondent in southern Africa says that in Zimbabwe, children in rural areas have already started to show signs of malnutrition. She says some eat only once a day. Section D Item 2Despite U.S. objections, the United Nations General Assembly today overwhelmingly voted to create a new human rights council to improve the UN's ability to deal with human rights offenders. The council replaces the discredited UN Human Rights Commission based in Geneva. U.S. ambassador to the UN John Bolton told the Assembly today that UN made some improvements but they are not enough. Bolton told the Assembly that rules for the new council are too weak to prevent human rights violators from obtaining seats. Under the resolution adopted today, the old commission will be abolished June 16th, and the new council will convene three days later.Item 3The United Nations has welcomed new pledges by donor countries of nearly 600 million dollars to fund relief efforts after the South Asian earthquake. But the UN's chief relief coordinator Jan Egeland said it was not clear how much was for immediate emergency relief and how much for longer-term work. Pakistan says 79,000 people have died and Mr. Egeland had early warned that hundreds of thousands more could die without an immediate big boost in funds. Winter snow is expected in the earthquake zone within weeks. A top Pakistani relief official, General Farooq Ahmed, told the BBC that an extra 30,000 troops were in the area to help. Unit 4 Section CItem 2British officials in Iran have denied allegations of any British involvement in violence in the southwestern province of Khuzestan where at least four peop le were killed in two bomb attacks on Saturday. The British embassy in Tehran condemned the attacks and said Britain rejected allegations linking it to terrorist outrages. Several Iranian Officials have made statements implicating British troops stations across the border inside southern Iraq in the bombings and in previous attacks earlier this year which killed 10 people.Item 3For the first time, President Bush has said it could be accurate to compare the recent escalation of violence in Iraq to the 1968 Tet Offensive during the Vietnam War. The Tet Offensive marked a strong downturn in public support for both the Vietnam War and the President Lyndon Johnson Mr. Bush spoke in an ABC interview in which he addressed increased violence in Iraq. The comparison of the insurgency in Iraq to the Tet Offensive in Vietnam was made in a column by Tom Friedman in the New Y orkTime.Section DItem 2.South Korea and Japan say they have not detected any radioactivity to confirm North Korea’s claim that it conducted an u nderground nuclear test on Monday. Late Friday unnamed U.S. officials said U.S. aircraft have detected trace in the air samples collected near the suspected North Korea test site, but they stressed no final determination had been made. Word of the latest findings comes as the UN Security Council members continue to hammer out details of a draft resolution was excepted Saturday. The UN draft resolution includes economic and weapons sanctions againstNorth Korea, including a travel ban and financial restriction.Item 3Russian President Vladimir Putin says he will not allow foreign powers to dictateRussia’s energy policy or interfere in any of its internal affairs. In an interview broadcast from Saint Peterburg today, Mr. putin told BBC News that recent Western criticism of Russia is a mix of cold war and colonialist thinking. Mr. Putin singled out U.S. President Dick Cheney’s recent criticism of Russian energy policy in which Cheney accused Russia of using its vast oil and gas resources as tools of intimidation. Putin compared those comments to an errant gunshot by Cheney that wounded a companion on a hunting trip earlier this year. The Russian leader host President Bush and other world leaders later this week in a summit of the G-8 industrialized nations. Mr. Putin said Russian is ready to hear well-intentioned criticism from foreign leaders, but said he will categorically reject what he called interference in Russia’s internal affairs.Unit 5 Section CItem 2A Peruvian airliner carrying 100 passengers and crew members has crashed in a northeastern jungle town, killing at least 40 people. Officials say the TANS Air Flight 204 went down Tuesday while attempting an emergency landing during a severe storm. Police at the scene say foreign nationals are among the dead, including at least one Italian and an American. Officials say at least 52 people survived the accident with most being treated at area hospitals.Item 3Officials in Japan say the train crash near Osaka in western Japan has killed as many as 57 people, injured more than 400. A commuter train carrying around 580 passengers during morning rush hour Monday smashed into an apartment building near Amagasaki, about 400 kilometers west of Tokyo. Workers are still trying to reach some of the passengers trapped in the wreckage. The accident was Japan’s worst in more than four decades. Investigators say speed and driver inexperience may be factors in the crash.Section DItem 2A small aircraft has crashed into the 20th floor of a high-rise apartment building in New Y ork City, killing at least two people. The plane burst into flames on the impact and fire spread through several floors of the building. The White House said all the indications were that the crash was an accident. Investigators are at the scenegather ing evidence, but the authorities don’t believe the incident was linked to terrorism. The BBC’s Gitto Harry was at the scene shortly after the incident and sent this report.“Fire engines, police cars, ambulances completely blocking the avenue, people having been pushed onto the sidewalks. All they know at this stage is that either a plane or a helicopter has crashed into a building. There are helicopters circling above. There is smoke in the air. There are police running around. The are is being cordoned o ff.”There authorities in New Y ork now say that four people were killed in the plane crash in Manhattan. Reports from the United States say the plane was being piloted by the New Y ankee’s baseball pitcher Cory Lidle, who died in the incident.Item 3Thousands of victims of Hurricane Katrina are still being evacuated from New Orleans. More than 10,000 people already have been taken by bus to an emergency shelter at a sports stadium in Texas more than 550 kilometers from New Orleans. Rescuers in New Orleans are working to evacuate thousands of additional flood refugees in and near the city’s former convention center, a large building without power, water or toilet facilities, overflowing with crowds calling for food, water and other assistance. Meanwhile President Bush is to visit the devastated area today. He is schedule to visit parts of Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana that were wrecked by the powerful hurricane.Unit 6 Section CItem 2The biggest ever international conference on malaria has begun in the West African state of Cameroon to discuss the latest scientific findings on the disease which kills more than 1.5 million people worldwide each year. 75% of those victims are African children. Of the 2,000 delegates meeting in the capital Y aounde, 80% are from Africa. The disease costs the continent more than 12 billion dollars in lost GDP each year. The latest research suggests that 41% of the world’s population live in areas where malaria is transmitted.Item 3The Food and Drug Administration is investigating whether more than one food company is responsible for an outbreak of E. coli bacteria. Officials have linked bad spinach from NaturalSelection Foods as one source of the E. coli. The company says the products are sold under the brand name Earth Bound Farm. Doctor David Atchison with the FDA says natural selection Foods has voluntarily recalled the spinach. The FDA advises shoppers to get rid of any fresh spinach in bags or other containers. At least one person has died. Dozens of others have gotten sick in at least 19states.Section D Item 2A week after a toxic waste scandal brought down the government of Ivory Coast, teams of Ivorian and French experts are still trying to establish exactly what the material was composed of. Tons of waste from a ship were dumped in leaking drums in at least 11 open air locations in Ivory Coast’s biggest city Abidjian. Ourcorrespondent James Copnall is there. The latest health ministry figures show that the health situation is deteriorating just as rapidly, however, a state of panic seems to have set in. meanwhile, teams of French and Ivorian experts were attempting to find out what exactly the toxic waste was composed of.Item 3The White House has issued an updated version of its strategy for dealing with a possible influenza pandemic. The plan warns cities, states and businesses that they should prepare now to keep operating on their own and not count on federal help, and says that a flu pandemic could make up to 40% of the workforce too sick to work for two weeks at a time and that the infection could remain active in a community for up to two months. In the worst case, the report says, a pandemic could cause as many as two million deaths in the United States. Influenza pandemics tend to break out when a never-before-seen strain of the virus starts passing from person to person. Scientists are currently worried that the Asian bird flu might mutate into that kind of virus.。

奥巴马在马丁·路德金纪念碑落成典礼上的演讲

奥巴马在马丁·路德金纪念碑落成典礼上的演讲

2011年10月16日美国总统奥巴马16日亲自为中国雕塑家雕塑的马丁·路德·金纪念碑揭幕,并发表演讲:“我们将超越!” 讲话呼吁美国人“团结”,继续金心目中的梦想。

他还有感而发,希望国人继续挑战华尔街的过分做法,但不要妖魔化那里所有的工作人员。

马丁·路德金是美国历史上著名的黑人民权领袖,他为美国黑人追求平等权利献出了生命。

这也为日后奥巴马成功入主白宫铺平了道路,因此纪念马丁·路德金对黑人总统奥巴马而言,意义特殊。

这座雕像的作者是中国雕塑家雷宜锌,他的方案是从全世界52个国家2000多位雕塑家的900多个方案中脱颖而出的。

当天,第一夫人米歇尔、副总统拜登及其夫人吉尔以及马丁·路德·金的家人也参加了揭幕仪式。

组织者估计有5万人参加了这次纪念活动。

THE PRESIDENT: Thank you very much. (Applause.) Thank you. (Applause.) Please be seated.An earthquake and a hurricane may have delayed this day, but this is a day that would not be denied.For this day, we celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s return to the National Mall. In this place, he will stand for all time, among monuments to those who fathered this nation and those who defended it; a black preacher with no official rank or title who somehow gave voice to our deepest dreams and our most lasting ideals, a man who stirred our conscience and thereby helped make our union more perfect.And Dr. King would be the first to remind us that this memorial is not for him alone. The movement of which he was a part depended on an entire generation of leaders. Many are here today, and for their service and their sacrifice, we owe them our everlasting gratitude. This is a monument to your collective achievement. (Applause.)Some giants of the civil rights movement ?- like Rosa Parks and Dorothy Height, Benjamin Hooks, Reverend Fred Shuttlesworth ?- they’ve been taken from us these past few years. This monument attests to their strength and their courage, and while we miss them dearly, we know they rest in a better place.And finally, there are the multitudes of men and women whose names never appear in the history books ?- those who marched and those who sang, those who sat in and those who stood firm, those who organized and those who mobilized ?- all those men and women who through countless acts of quiet heroism helped bring about changes few thought were even possible. “By the thousands,” said Dr. King, “faceless, anonymous, relentless young people, black and white…have take n our whole nation back to those great wells of democracy which were dug deep by the founding fathers in the formulation of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence.”To those men and women, to those foot soldiers for justice, know that this monument is yours, as well.Nearly half a century has passed since that historic March on Washington, a day when thousands upon thousands gathered for jobs and for freedom. That is what our schoolchildren remember best when they think of Dr. King -? his booming voice across this Mall, calling on America to make freedom a reality for all of God’s children, prophesizing of a day when the jangling discord of our nation would be transformed into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood.It is right that we honor tha t march, that we lift up Dr. King’s “I Have a Dream” speech ?- for without that shining moment, without Dr. King’s glorious words, we might not have had the courage to come as far as we have. Because of that hopeful vision, because of Dr. King’s moral imagination, barricades began to fall and bigotry began to fade. New doors of opportunity swung open for an entire generation. Yes, laws changed, but hearts and minds changed, as well.Look at the faces here around you, and you see an America that is more fair and more free and more just than the one Dr. King addressed that day. We are right to savor that slow but certain progress -? progress that’s expressed itself in a million ways, large and small, across this nation every single day, as people of all colors and creeds live together, and work together, and fight alongside one another, and learn together, and build together, and love one another.So it is right for us to celebrate today Dr. King’s dream and his vision of unity. And yet it is also important on this day to remind ourselves that such progress did not come easily; that Dr. King’s faith was hard-won; that it sprung out of a harsh reality and some bitter disappointments.It is right for us to celebrate Dr. King’s marvelous oratory, but it is worth remembering that progress did not come from words alone. Progress was hard. Progress was purchased through enduring the smack of billy clubs and the blast of fire hoses. It was bought with days in jail cells and nights of bomb threats. For every victory during the height of the civil rights movement, there were setbacks and there were defeats.We forget now, but during his life, Dr. King wasn’t always considered a unifying figure. Even after rising to prominence, even after winning the Nobel Peace Prize, Dr. King was vilified by many, denounced as a rabble rouser and an agitator, a communist and a radical. He was even attacked by his own people, by those who felt he was going too fast or those whofelt he was going too slow; by those who felt he shouldn’t meddle in issues like the Vietnam War or the rights of union workers. We know from his own testimony the doubts and the pain this caused him, and that the controversy that would swirl around his actions would last until the fateful day he died.I raise all this because nearly 50 years after the March on Washington, our work, Dr. King’s work, is not yet complete. We gather here at a moment of great challenge and great change. In the first decade of this new century, we have been tested by war and by tragedy; by an economic crisis and its aftermath that has left millions out of work, and poverty on the rise, and millions more just struggling to get by. Indeed, even before this crisis struck, we had endured a decade of rising inequality and stagnant wages. In too many troubled neighborhoods across the country, the conditions of our poorest citizens appear little changed from what existed 50 years ago -? neighborhoods with underfunded schools and broken-down slums, inadequate health care, constant violence, neighborhoods in which too many young people grow up with little hope and few prospects for the future.Our work is not done. And so on this day, in which we celebrate a man and a movement that did so much for this country, let us draw strength from those earlier struggles. First and foremost, let us remember that change has never been quick. Change has never been simple, or without controversy. Change depends on persistence. Change requires determination. It took a full decade before the moral guidance of Brown v. Board of Education was translated into the enforcement measures of the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act, but those 10 long years did not lead Dr. King to give up. He kept on pushing, he kept on speaking, he kept on marching until change finally came. (Applause.)And then when, even after the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act passed, African Americans still found themselves trapped in pockets of poverty across the country, Dr. King didn’t say those laws were a failure; he didn’t say this is too hard; he didn’t say, let’s settle for what we got and go home. Instead he said, let’s take those victories and broaden our mission to achieve not just civil and political equality but also economic justice; let’s fight for a living wage and better schools and jobs for all who are willing to work. In other words, when met with hardship, when confronting disappointment, Dr. King refused to accept what he called the “isness” of today. He kept pushing towards the “oughtness” of tomorrow.And so, as we think about all the work that we must do ?- rebuilding aneconomy that can compete on a global stage, and fixing our schools so that every child -- not just some, but every child -- gets a world-class education, and making sure that our health care system is affordable and accessible to all, and that our economic system is one in which everybody gets a fair shake and everybody does their fair share, let us not be trapped by what is. (Applause.) We can’t be discouraged by what is. We’ve got to keep pushing for what ought to be, the America we ought to leave to our children, mindful that the hardships we face are nothing compared to those Dr. King and his fellow marchers faced 50 years ago, and that if we maintain our faith, in ourselves and in the possibilities of this nation, there is no challenge we cannot surmount.And just as we draw strength from Dr. King’s struggles, so must we draw inspiration from his constant insistence on the oneness of man; the belief in his words that “we are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny.” It was that insistence, rooted in his Christian faith, that led him to tell a group of angry young protesters, “I love you as I love my own children,” even as one threw a rock that glanced off his neck.It was that insistence, that belief that God resides in each of us, from the high to the low, in the oppressor and the oppressed, that convinced him that people and systems could change. It fortified his belief in non-violence. It permitted him to place his faith in a government that had fallen short of its ideals. It led him to see his charge not only as freeing black America from the shackles of discrimination, but also freeing many Americans from their own prejudices, and freeing Americans of every color from the depredations of poverty.And so at this moment, when our politics appear so sharply polarized, and faith in our institutions so greatly diminished, we need more than ever to take heed of Dr. King’s teachings. He calls on us to stand in the other person’s shoes; to see through their eyes; to understand their pain. He tells us that we have a duty to fight against poverty, even if we are well off; to care about the child in the decrepit school even if our own children are doing fine; to show compassion toward the immigrant family, with the knowledge that most of us are only a few generations removed from similar hardships. (Applause.)To say that we are bound together as one people, and must constantly strive to see ourselves in one another, is not to argue for a false unity that papers over our differences and ratifies an unjust status quo. As was true 50 years ago, as has been true throughout human history, those with power and privilege will often decry any call for change as “divisive.”They’ll say any challenge to the existing arrangements are unwise and destabilizing. Dr. King understood that peace without justice was no peace at all; that aligning our reality with our ideals often requires the speaking of uncomfortable truths and the creative tension of non-violent protest.But he also understood that to bring about true and lasting change, there must be the possibility of reconciliation; that any social movement has to channel this tension through the spirit of love and mutuality.If he were alive today, I believe he would remind us that the unemployed worker can rightly challenge the excesses of Wall Street without demonizing all who work there; that the businessman can enter tough negotiations with his company’s union w ithout vilifying the right to collectively bargain. He would want us to know we can argue fiercely about the proper size and role of government without questioning each other’s love for this country -- (applause) -- with the knowledge that in this democracy, government is no distant object but is rather an expression of our common commitments to one another. He would call on us to assume the best in each other rather than the worst, and challenge one another in ways that ultimately heal rather than wound.In the end, that’s what I hope my daughters take away from this monument.I want them to come away from here with a faith in what they can accomplish when they are determined and working for a righteous cause. I want them to come away from here with a faith in other people and a faith in a benevolent God. This sculpture, massive and iconic as it is, will remind them of Dr. King’s strength, but to see him only as larger than life would do a disservice to what he taught us about ourselves. He would want them to know that he had setbacks, because they will have setbacks. He would want them to know that he had doubts, because they will have doubts. He would want them to know that he was flawed, because all of us have flaws.It is precisely because Dr. King was a man of flesh and blood and not a figure of stone that he inspires us so. His life, his story, tells us that change can come if you don’t give up. He would not give up, no matter how long it took, because in the smallest hamlets and the darkest slums, he had witnessed the highest reaches of the human spirit; because in those moments when the struggle seemed most hopeless, he had seen men and women and children conquer their fear; because he had seen hills and mountains made low and rough places made plain, and the crooked places made straight and God make a way out of no way.And that is why we honor this man ?- because he had faith in us. And thatis why he belongs on this Mall -? because he saw what we might become. That is why Dr. King was so quintessentially American -- because for all the hardships we’ve endured, for all our sometimes tragic history, ours is a story of optimism and achievement and constant striving that is unique upon this Earth. And that is why the rest of the world still looks to us to lead. This is a country where ordinary people find in their hearts the courage to do extraordinary things; the courage to stand up in the face of the fiercest resistance and despair and say this is wrong, and this is right; we will not settle for what the cynics tell us we have to accept and we will reach again and again, no matter the odds, for what we know is possible.That is the conviction we must carry now in our hearts. (Applause.) As tough as times may be, I know we will overcome. I know there are better days ahead. I know this because of the man towering over us. I know this because all he and his generation endured -- we are here today in a country that dedicated a monument to that legacy.And so with our eyes on the horizon and our faith squarely placed in one another, let us keep striving; let us keep struggling; let us keep climbing toward that promised land of a nation and a world that is more fair, and more just, and more equal for every single child of God.Thank you, God bless you, and God bless the United States of America. (Applause.)。

用过去式写爬长城的英语作文中英汉The day I climbed the Great Wall of China was one I would never forget. It was a crisp autumn morning when my group and I set out on our adventure. We had been looking forward to this moment for weeks and the anticipation was palpable as we boarded the bus that would take us to the historic site.As we approached the towering stone structure stretching across the rugged landscape my breath was taken away. I had seen pictures of the Great Wall before but nothing could have prepared me for the sheer scale and grandeur of it in person. We disembarked the bus and made our way towards the entrance, our eyes fixed on the winding path that snaked up the steep incline.Before beginning our ascent our guide gathered us together and provided a brief history of the wall. She explained how it had been constructed over many centuries by countless laborers as a means of defense against northern invaders. The magnificence of this feat of human engineering was not lost on me as I contemplated the immense effort and sacrifice that had gone into its creation.With this sobering knowledge in mind we set off up the stone steps. The climb was arduous, with each step requiring great effort as we navigated the uneven terrain. The altitude and thin air made it increasingly difficult to catch our breath but we were determined to reach the top.As we ascended higher the views became more and more breathtaking. We passed watchtowers and defensive barricades, imaging the soldiers who had once patrolled these ramparts. At times the path narrowed precariously, forcing us to walk single-file while gripping the sturdy railings for support. I felt a thrill of exhilaration mingled with trepidation as I gazed out over the vast landscape stretching out before me.After what felt like an eternity we finally reached the pinnacle. Pausing to catch our breath we drank in the panoramic vistas that surrounded us. Mountains rose and fell in undulating waves, their slopes blanketed in a patchwork of autumn colors. In the distance the glittering towers of Beijing pierced the hazy horizon. It was a humbling experience to stand atop this ancient wonder of the world, to feel so small and insignificant in the face of such grandeur.We spent some time exploring the watchtowers and admiring the intricate masonry of the wall. Our guide pointed out variousarchitectural details and regaled us with tales of its tumultuous history. I ran my hands over the weathered stones, marveling at the knowledge that they had withstood the test of time for centuries.Reluctantly, we began our descent, our legs burning from the strain. The going was much easier on the way down but we still had to exercise caution on the steeper sections. I found myself pausing frequently to gaze back at the wall, not wanting to leave this magical place.As we neared the bottom I felt a profound sense of accomplishment.I had conquered one of the most iconic landmarks on Earth through sheer determination and physical exertion. It was an achievement that filled me with pride and a deep appreciation for the human spirit.Looking back, that day on the Great Wall was more than just a memorable adventure. It was a transformative experience that left an indelible mark on my soul. The grandeur of the landscape, the weight of history, and the personal triumph of reaching the summit all combined to create a moment of pure transcendence.I will never forget the feeling of standing atop that ancient fortification, gazing out over the vast expanse of China. It was a humbling reminder of our own insignificance in the face of suchtimeless majesty. And yet, it also filled me with a profound sense of connection to the countless souls who had walked those same steps before me, united in the shared experience of confronting and conquering this mighty edifice.In the end, climbing the Great Wall was not just a physical feat but a spiritual one as well. It challenged me to push beyond my perceived limitations and to find reserves of strength and determination I didn't know I possessed. And for that, I will be forever grateful. That day on the wall will forever hold a special place in my heart, a testament to the power of the human spirit and the transformative potential of travel.。

一个重要的历史事件英语作文

一个重要的历史事件英语作文

一个重要的历史事件英语作文The Fall of the Berlin Wall: A Monumental Moment in History.History is replete with events that have shaped the course of humanity, but few stand out as significantly as the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. This momentous occasion not only marked the end of the Cold War and the division of Europe, but also symbolized the triumph of freedom and democracy over communism and tyranny.The Berlin Wall, officially known as the Anti-Fascist Protection Wall, was a symbol of division and oppression that stood for nearly three decades. Constructed in 1961,it divided the city of Berlin into two halves: West Berlin, an ally of the United States and other Western powers, and East Berlin, a part of the Soviet-controlled East Germany. The wall was not just a physical barrier; it was a psychological one that separated families, friends, and neighbors, creating a deep divide in a city that had oncebeen a cultural and intellectual hub.The fall of the Berlin Wall began on November 9, 1989, when citizens of East Germany, fed up with the repressive regime and yearning for freedom, began to protest and demonstrate against the communist government. Initially, these protests were small and scattered, but they quickly grew in size and momentum. On November 13, a crowd gathered at the Brandenburg Gate, a symbolic gateway to the city, and demanded the opening of the border crossings. That same night, the border guards abandoned their posts, andcitizens from both sides of the wall began to tear down the barricades that had divided them for so long.The fall of the Berlin Wall was not just a spontaneous act of civil disobedience; it was a carefully orchestrated movement that had been brewing for years. The repressive measures of the East German government, including widespread censorship, political imprisonment, and the suppression of basic freedoms, had created a deep sense of dissatisfaction and resentment among the population. Coupled with the growing influence of Western culture andvalues through television and other media, this dissatisfaction grew into a movement that was impossible to contain.The fall of the wall was met with jubilation and celebration by people across the globe. It was seen as a victory for freedom and democracy, and a rejection of communism and its totalitarian ideals. The event also marked a turning point in international relations, as the Cold War began to draw to a close and countries across the Eastern Bloc began to embrace democratic reforms and open up their economies.In the aftermath of the wall's fall, Berlin was reunified in 1990, and the city has since thrived as a vibrant and multicultural hub. The Brandenburg Gate, which had been a symbol of division, became a symbol of unity and freedom. The wall itself, while most of it has been demolished, has become a tourist attraction, with remaining sections preserved as a reminder of the city's history and the importance of freedom and democracy.The fall of the Berlin Wall was not just a moment in history; it was a turning point that changed the course of humanity. It taught us that freedom and democracy are universal values that cannot be denied or suppressed, and that people, when given the chance, will always choose freedom over oppression. As we look back on this momentous occasion, we are reminded of the power of protest and the importance of upholding these fundamental freedoms in our own lives and communities.。

丧尸入侵作文英语

丧尸入侵作文英语

丧尸入侵作文英语In the heart of a seemingly ordinary town, an extraordinary event unfolded. The sun had just begun to set, casting long shadows across the streets as the last of the day's warmth dissipated. Little did the residents know that their tranquility was about to be shattered by an invasion of the undead.The first signs were subtle: a distant rumble, the faintest hint of a scream carried away by the wind. But as the night deepened, the reality became horrifyingly clear. The town was under siege by a horde of zombies, their grotesque forms shambling out of the darkness, eyes glowing with an unnatural hunger.The town's people, initially in disbelief, quickly organized a defense. Barricades were erected, and the local sheriff rallied the able-bodied to form a makeshift militia. Thetown's doctor, a man of science, worked tirelessly to understand the nature of the invasion, hoping to find a way to repel the invaders.As the hours ticked by, the battle raged. The streets became a battleground, with the living fighting desperately against the relentless tide of the undead. The air was thick with the acrid smell of gunpowder and the chilling moans of the zombies.Miraculously, amidst the chaos, a young girl named Emily discovered a pattern in the zombies' behavior. They seemed to be drawn to a particular frequency of sound, a high-pitched noise that caused them to halt their advance. With this discovery, the town's defenders were able to create a temporary reprieve, using speakers to emit the sound and keep the zombies at bay.The dawn brought a glimmer of hope. The zombies, it seemed, were less active during the day, allowing the town to regroup and plan their next move. The sheriff coordinated with neighboring towns, seeking reinforcements and sharing the knowledge of the sound that could temporarily subdue the zombies.As the days turned into weeks, the town's resilience was tested. The barricades held, and the sound barrier was improved, but the threat of the zombies loomed large. The community came together, their bonds of friendship and shared purpose strengthening in the face of adversity.In the end, it was a combination of the town's ingenuity and the relentless spirit of its people that turned the tide. Scientists, working with the town's doctor, developed a vaccine that could slow the spread of the virus causing the zombie transformation. The town's defenders, now better equipped and more organized, began to push back the horde.The battle against the zombie invasion was long and brutal, but it was also a testament to the indomitable human spirit. The town emerged victorious, though forever changed by theexperience. The memory of the invasion would serve as a reminder of the strength that lies within every individual when faced with the unimaginable.As the town began to rebuild, a new sense of unity and purpose was forged. The once ordinary town had become extraordinary, not just for surviving the zombie invasion, but for the lessons learned about courage, community, and the power of human ingenuity in the face of overwhelming odds.。

奇思妙想的大作文英语标题,The Adventure of Time Travel: A Journey Beyond Imagination。

In the vast expanse of the universe lies an extraordinary phenomenon that has captured the imagination of humanity for centuries: time travel. The concept of traversing through time, witnessing historical events, and altering the course of destiny has long been a subject of fascination and speculation. What if we could unlock the secrets of time and embark on a journey through itsinfinite corridors? Join me as we delve into the realms of imagination and explore the wonders of time travel.Imagine a world where time is not linear but rather a vast ocean with countless streams and currents, each leading to a different era of history. In this world, time travelers are the intrepid sailors navigating through the ebb and flow of time, charting their course through the annals of history. With the aid of advanced technology orperhaps a touch of magic, they embark on their daring adventures, braving the unknown and unraveling the mysteries of the past, present, and future.Our journey begins in the bustling streets of ancient Rome, where the grandeur of the Colosseum stands as a testament to the power and glory of the Roman Empire. As we wander through the labyrinthine alleys, we witness gladiators battling for their lives in the arena, chariots racing across the Circus Maximus, and senators debating the fate of nations in the hallowed halls of the Senate. The sights, sounds, and smells of ancient Rome envelop us, transporting us back in time to an era of grandeur and majesty.But our adventure does not end there. With a flicker of light and a whirr of machinery, we find ourselves hurtling through the corridors of time, emerging in the midst of the Renaissance period. Here, amidst the towering spires of Florence and the opulent palaces of Venice, we encounter the great masters of art and science – Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Galileo – whose genius shaped the course ofhistory. We stroll through the bustling markets, marvel at the exquisite works of art, and engage in spirited debates with the luminaries of the age, gaining insights into the workings of the human mind and the mysteries of the cosmos.As we journey onward, we find ourselves drawn to the turbulent waters of the French Revolution, where the criesof "Liberté, égalité, fraternité!" echo through the streets of Paris. Here, amidst the barricades and guillotines, we witness the struggle for freedom and equality, as ordinary men and women rise up against tyranny and oppression. We stand shoulder to shoulder with revolutionaries like Robespierre and Danton, fighting for a better future and a brighter tomorrow.But time travel is not without its dangers and pitfalls. As we venture further into the unknown, we must tread carefully, lest we disturb the delicate balance of history and unleash unforeseen consequences upon the world. The temptation to alter the course of events, to rewritehistory in our own image, is ever-present, but we mustresist the urge and respect the sanctity of the past.And so, our journey through time comes to an end, but the memories and experiences we have gained will stay with us forever. As we return to the present, we are filled with a sense of awe and wonder at the vastness of the universe and the endless possibilities it holds. For in the world of time travel, the only limit is the boundlessness of our imagination.In conclusion, the adventure of time travel is a journey beyond imagination, a voyage through the annals of history and the depths of the human spirit. It is a testament to the indomitable curiosity and ingenuity of humanity, as we strive to unlock the secrets of the universe and unravel the mysteries of time itself. So let us dare to dream, to explore, and to discover, for in the realm of time travel, anything is possible.。

Across the barricadesScene 11(中文版本)几个月后。

-第一幕-Sadie坐在床上,抬头看向窗户的方向。

天空阴沉,窗户上残留着灰白色的鸟屎。

Sadie (她披上廉价的胭脂紫色的呢子外套,站了起来。

她扭开把手,走出房间。

)她披上廉价的胭脂紫色的呢子外套,站了起来。

她扭开把手,走出房间。

Sadie匆匆忙忙的走过公寓的门房,房东正坐在富有中国风情的太师椅上喝茶。

那茶叶看起来成色不错,透着翡翠般的墨绿色,据说也是来自远东。

Sadie回避着房东的眼神,低头整了整衣领。

“还好今天穿的是呢子大衣。

”Sadie想到。

可是房东仿佛一眼看穿了她的小心思一般,抢先叫住了她:“难道有什么理由能促使你离开这里吗,Sadie小姐?坐下来聊聊顺便喝杯茶如何?这可是从xxx进口的‘碧螺春’呢。

哦,我忘了,就凭你现在的状况,端一个月盘子都买不了一壶。

”Sadie并没有理会房东口中那些戏谑的言辞,嘴角微微扬起,似乎在自嘲般说道:“如果你在一个吝啬老板管辖下的咖啡厅上班,那可耽搁不得。

“房东轻蔑的一笑,露出一口金牙。

慢悠悠的说道:“噢,那我亲爱的Sadie小姐,你可得努力工作了,别忘了你还有三个月的房费还没有交。

”神色一变,阴冷的接道:“哼哼,你还记得上一个拖欠房费的可怜虫是怎么被打断腿的吗?”可这时,Sadie已经离开的公寓,逐渐走远。

-第二幕-Kevin呆滞的蹲在一家不知名的小餐厅的后厨的角落里。

那里不仅阴暗,而且常年积水——只是因为几块无人清理的破碎的龙虾壳堵塞住了他身后的排水口。

后厨的灯光突然明亮起来,积水把白炽灯的光反射到Kevin脸上,Kevin顿时感到明亮许多。

“又要开工了,希望今天不用去洗龙虾——那玩意可真是难缠,有钱人的盛宴,后厨帮工的噩耗。

”Kevin想着。

Kevin突然感到下巴上一阵瘙痒,想伸出左手挠挠时,却发现自己空荡荡的袖管。

“噢,原来我已经距离失去左臂两三个月有余了。

”他无可奈何的笑笑,将自己的右手放在案台上撑起身体,艰难的站了起来。

“嘿,伙计们。

你们知道吗:英国进口直运的龙虾昨天到港了。

瞧,这不今天就送过来了。

”Kevin耳边传来老板欢快的声音,可是那却使他感到恶心。

Kevin一把揽下角落里吸饱了污水的拖把,主动承担下拖地的工作。

“嘿嘿,这样就不用去洗那些龙虾了。

”Kevin边想边把地板上疑似龙虾壳的垃圾推进水槽。

-第三幕-Sadie的手拿着抹布,快速的摩擦着油腻的盘子。

油脂漂浮在水池里水面上,不知名的食物残渣堵塞了水槽。

使人作呕的气味充斥着吧台。

“盘子,盘子。

好像水池又堵了,唉。

听说后面那家餐厅的水池也堵了,肯定是下水道里出了问题。

”Sadie轻声念叨着。

“又是一个忙碌的上午,好像比昨天还多收了五块的小费。

不错。

”Sadie斜倚在墙上,手上继续做着咖啡店里的工作。

在墙的那一边,是一个积水的后厨角落。

Kevin 蹲坐在那里,身边堆满了破碎的龙虾壳。

“拖地脱到一半居然被老板叫去洗龙虾…刻薄的老头子…要不是我少了条胳膊,哪会去做这种工作…”Kevin低声抱怨着,可是阴郁的抱怨声马上就混入了后厨的忙碌声中,无从分辨…咖啡店与买龙虾的餐厅只有一墙之隔,可是一个面向北街,一个面向南街。

洗盘子的少女与洗龙虾的少年却从未相遇。

仿佛一切都没有发生,只留下两个互不相识的陌生人。

Across the barricadesScene 11Sadie is sitting on the bed and looked up at the direction of the window. There is agray bird poop on the window.Sadie It must be raining last night and it's not big enough.She put on cheap rouge purple coat and stood up. Sadie without noticed it andturned the handle.

The girl washes the dishes and the boy washes the lobsters.They never meet each other as if nothing has happened, leaving only twostrangers.。
