热点高考英语作文：光盘行动经典20篇

江南才子唐伯虎在江南一庙宇偶遇前来进香的秋香，一见钟情，遂生共结连理之意。为此，他一路跟踪秋香到太师府，又想方设法以伴读书僮的身份混进府，谋得了接触秋香的机会，后在府中多次接触秋香并表心意，均被秋香拒绝。有一次竟被秋香锁进柴房，但唐伯虎并不气馁，又请来好友祝枝山帮忙，在好友的指点下博得点秋香成婚的好机会，至此，江南才子好梦成真。唯一不太好的是唐伯虎在成婚后从太师府偷偷溜走不辞而别，显得不太有面子，不过，这也是他当时最好的选择。

启示：1、目标要明确；2、为实现目标措施要有效；3、要屡败屡战并适当时候请高人帮助，毕竟有时是旁观者清；4、完成目标美梦成真后可以适时跳槽，该走就走。

从每年的考试情况来看，很多同学能完整地按照要求把文章写出来，但得分却较低。实际上，高考英语书面表达是一个分值颇高且易得分的题型，只是很多同学没有掌握得分技巧。下面我们一起看看怎样才能让高考作文拽起来。

一、几点重要原则

1.智者利用押题，傻子依赖押题!

2.书面表达整篇背诵绝无必要，可以以看读为主，关键是从中汲取一些常用的词汇和表达，并能得体熟练地运用。考场上应变能力很重要!

3.英文写作模仿很重要。有时也很有效。但不能过于牵强，尤其是对一些长难句的刻意模仿使用。

4.文似看山不喜平，起承转合一定要有!

5.见微知著，一叶知秋，几个亮点足矣：有道是：浓妆淡抹总相宜，作文写得简洁到位要比长篇大论更显功力。

6.心不为形役。不要身陷逐字逐句英汉对号式的字面翻译，要把表达的主动权始终握在自己手里。

二、善用万能句以不变应万变

历届高考，书面表达考得最多是提示作文，即提供一定的情景内容，要求考生完成100词左右的短文。

从命题方式看，有短文提示、要点提示、图画提示、情景提示以及图表提示等；体裁以应用文为主，记叙文为辅：题材为广大中学生所熟悉的日常生活。从提供要点的情景方面看，历届高考书面表达题均属供料小作文，采用文字供料或文字说明加图画(图表)的方式供料。

备考时，同学们要利用有限的时间把以前背的范文整理一下，从中选出不同体裁、不同题材的范文各一篇(范文以高考真题的高分作文为佳)，把它们重新记忆，一定记牢。这样，高考时不管什么样的文章都可套用背诵好的格式。避免考场上因紧张而无章可循。

最后阶段，还要总结一下写作时常用且能出彩的固定句型、句式，比如强调句型、定语从句、名诃性从句等，牢记英语的五个基本句式，背诵平时老师总结的万能句。以不变应万变。

考场答题前，应仔细审题，研究所提供的文字和图画(图表)材料和作文要求。分析、提炼要点，理顺要点，确立基本的写作思路，不要忽略任何一个词。关键的词更不能遗漏，构思好写几个方面，缺一不可。

写作时，尽量用学过的英语句型和词组。少写长句和复杂句以免弄巧成拙、漏洞百出。但目前高考有关书面表达的评分标准要求作文中应有较多的语法结构和词汇，因此同学们在书面表达中不能都写小句、短句和单句，还要正确运用高级词汇和复杂结构。恰当运用过渡词，使写出来的文章含金量更高，更具可读性。

三、高分作文六大特性

1.条理性。指的是合理安排文章结构。首先，在文章思路、组织材料、叙述顺序等方面要有一定的条理性。其次。根据需要，安排好段落，各段之间要层次分明，也要重视每一段的开头和结尾，开头语往往是总起句，结尾语往往是总结句。

2.准确性。指要求写出语法正确的句子，包括时态、语态、用词和句法等，要准确、地道地表达。必须要牢牢掌握一些常用句型或习惯表达，避免中式英语，在实践中不断总结中英用法的差异，养成用英语思维写作的习惯。

3.流畅性。指根据整篇文章思想的需要，有效采用不同的连接手段，使文章层次清楚、行文连贯。

4.简洁多样性。简洁性就是语言简洁，不重复。多样性就是能随情景内容的变化写出句式多样的语句。这也是新课程标准对写作的评价标准。

5.思想性。新标准对写作的要求，增加了情感因素，在准确流畅表达写作要点的同时，适当增加句子的感情色彩，增加一些人情味，使文章读起来更亲切，完全达到与读者进行交流的目的。

6.美观性。指的是卷面书写规范、清楚、干净、整洁。

四、怎样才能有拽的感觉

1.高考写作的实质变相考查句型与词汇的灵活应用

英语写作不同于语文作文的写作，如果说语文作文是一个自由发挥的舞蹈，那么高考英语写作就是带着枷锁在跳舞。我之所以这样来形容，是因为高考英语写作的内容都已经通过文字、表格、图片这三种形式给定，内容方面，不需要学生进行发挥，大家所需要发挥的就是不要老去给这个不变的内容穿毫无变化的校服(简单句)，而要去穿一些不一样的衣服，让它显得不那么单调，让阅卷老师能看到不同，而那些所谓的衣服也就是多变句型与词汇。

2.写作的评分标准怎么去迎合评卷老师的胃口

我了解到目前很大一部分学生的作文都处在15分左右，写作满分25分，15分也就是个及格分，那么15分和20多分的作文到底差在哪里?这个问题很容易回答。15分的作文中规中矩，该对的都对，包括内容要点的完整，语法与词形的正确，但是全都是简单句子的堆砌，没有任何亮点。而20多分的作文在句型词汇方面就做了很好的包装，它的句子穿的衣服已经不是校服，而是李宁、耐克，或者是阿迪，所以让人觉得很拽，而高考英语写作要的就是这种很拽的感觉。

3.写作提分的三要素句型。连词。高级词汇

句子是我们写作文最大的单位。有了漂亮的句子。用好的连词将其连句成段，再加上一些如星星般亮点词汇的点缀，一篇好的高考英语作文就诞生了。而这三个因素中最容易把握的是句子，最难的是高级词汇，限于大家的词汇还比较有限。一篇文章中出现那么一两个就够了。我们应该把重心放在句型上，因为这个最容易把握。

但是大家又有这样的困惑，学校里老师也给了我们很多的句型啊，动辄成五十上百句的，大家背得挺多，但是面对考试的时候，发现背的那些怎么也用不上。其实不是那些东西没有用，而是它们太干了，就好比一根干骨头，大家嚼起来很没有味。也不知道该把它们往哪里放。

在这里我给大家提供一种比较切实可行、迅速提高的练习方法，在接下来的时间里只要大家按照这个方法来，就一定会有收获。

找出历年真题，一周只需要写两篇。但是要这么来写。

1.把你要写的内容要点用九到十句的汉语表达出来。

2.逐一地进行翻译，不是用简单句。而是要刻意地去想：

(1)可以用什么样的复杂句；

(2)怎样去避开不会的表达，转义。

例如：

这本书是如此的有趣，以至于我读了一遍又一遍。

1.This book was so interest，ing that l read it again and again，

2.This was such an interest，ing book that l read it again andagain，

3.This was s0 jnteresting abook that l read it again and again

4.So interesting was thisbook that l read it again and again

这四句译文当中无疑评卷老师最欣赏的是第四句，因为它用了倒装。

4.如何备考

其实这种思维大家都有。但是没有成为一种思路，让它能在考试中起到作用，那是因为大家练得少。英语写作处在一种很尴尬的境地，一方面大家要分数。但另外一方面大家一个学期里写的作文也就是期中期末的两篇。毫不夸张地说，有的学生上了三年的高中可能只写了六篇作文，所以练习是很重要的，要是现在不练而把高考当练习。那么作文只拿14、15分也合情合理了，到那时你不要骂评卷老师不公平，而应该问问自己备考的时候为什么不多练几篇。时间都是挤出来的，希望大家可以挤出时间来练写作。

亲爱的同学们、老师们：

节约是一种美德，是一种责任，更是一种品质。为贯彻落实习近平总书记“厉行节约，反对铺张浪费”重要批示精神，弘扬“节约光荣，浪费可耻”的中华美德，结合我校文明用餐情况，少先队大队部向全体师生发出倡议：在校用午餐时，每一位用餐者都要爱惜粮食，尽可能吃掉快餐盆里的饭菜，以减少剩饭剩菜数量。

同学们要争做“光盘行动”的小主人，争当节俭好队员;如果你实在吃不完，请跟“就餐小桌长”说明情况，征得小桌长同意再倒盆。

少先队将开展“光盘行动”的检查评比，请老师教育督促学生努力“光盘”，也请同学们相互比赛，亮出“光盘”。

让“光盘行动”成为我们校园中一道文明亮丽的风景!当然，更希望大家在家、在饭店等用餐也厉行节约、反对浪费，让餐桌盛开文明之花。

最后，我们提出一个我们xx实验小学的响亮的“光盘”口号，这就是：

我光盘，我光荣!

我光盘，我骄傲!

One Thing I’m Proud of I still remember how I became a good table tennis player.

The first day I went to high school, I saw some of my classmates playing table tennis. Amazed at how skillful they were, I was determined to be just as good. Later on, I often watched them carefully to learn their techniques. Then I kept practicing until I became confident enough to challenge the good players. At the end of the term I became one of the best players in my class.

I am really proud of this experience, because it helps me realize that we all can fulfill our potential and achieve our goals through hard work. It also helps me better understand the proverb "Practice makes perfect.”

我很自豪的一件事我还记得我如何成为一个优秀的乒乓球运动员。

第一天我去了高中时,我看到一些同学打乒乓球。惊讶于他们是多么巧妙,我决心一样好。后来,我经常看到他们认真学习他们的技术。然后我不停地练习,直到我有足够的信心去挑战了好球员。在学期结束的时候,我成为班里最好的球员之一。

我真的骄傲的这段经历,因为它让我意识到我们都能实现我们的潜能,通过努力工作才能实现我们的目标。它也帮助我更好地理解谚语“熟能生巧”。

食品安全问题之我见 My View on Food Security

Over the past couple ofyears, several cases of the food scandal have been disclosed on various media.The problem of food security has become a hot button across society. Theprevalence of food insecurity has greatly impacted public health, which thegovernment could not afford to ignore, according to the online edition of thePeople Daily. -

在过去的几年中，几起食品丑闻案件已经在各种媒体上披露。全社会的食品安全问题已经成为一个热题。食品不安全的盛行已经大大影响了群众的健康，根据人民日报网络版，政府不应该忽视这一问题。

There are a couple of drivingforces, I would argue, behind this undesirable tide. First, in the course ofthe rapid economic evolution, we ignore moral education, giving rise to therising rate of the problem. More importantly, the lack of adequate regulationand punishment on those illegal producers enforces the trend. -

我认为这一不良行为的背后有很多驱动力。首先，在快速的经济进化过程中，我们忽视了道德教育，从而导致了这一问题不断上升。更重要的是，缺乏足够的对那些非法生产者的监管和处罚加强了这一局面。

As Confucius instructed, itis better late than never. Prompt and strict measures should be taken to turnback this evil trend. The government should launch a massive moral campaign toeducate all citizens and draw up tougher laws to crack down on those irresponsiblecorporations and prohibit them from entering the food industry again. I amfirmly convinced that through our combined efforts we are bound to enjoy morerisk-free foods in the days ahead.-

正如孔子教导的，迟到总比不到好。我们应该采取及时严厉的措施来扭转这一不好的局面。政府应该发起大量的道德运动以教育所有的市民，并制定更严厉的法律打击那些不负责任的企业，并禁止他们再次进入食品行业。我坚信，通过我们的共同努力，我们一定会在未来的日子中享受更多的无风险食品。

In winter, when I was not aware of, quietly coming. Christmas day, the happy holiday, without slipping away again. Christmas is a fairy tale, inside it there is a beautiful story. And my favorite, it is the more beautiful, more moving "Santa Claus" fairy tale.

Tiny, mom and dad told me: "the night before Christmas, Santa Claus will send Christmas gifts to the children. However, Santa Claus will only send to obedient child, not obedient child, can not receive." Around Christmas, therefore, I will be very obedient, clever, just for get the so-called Christmas gifts. Young, I never know that this is just a mom and dad in order to satisfy my little wish and make up a white lie.

冬天，在我还没有察觉到的时候，悄悄地来临了;圣诞节，这个快乐的节日，不经儿又悄悄地溜走了。圣诞节，是童话，它里面蕴藏着一个个美丽的故事。而我最爱的，是那个更美丽、更动人的“圣诞老人”的童话。

很小很小的时候，爸爸妈妈就告诉我：“在圣诞夜里，圣诞老人会给小朋友们送圣诞礼物。不过，圣诞老人只会送给听话的孩子，不听话的孩子，可收不到哦。”因此，在圣诞节前后，我都会很听话、乖巧，为的只是得到那所谓的圣诞礼物。年幼的我，却不曾知道，这只是爸爸妈妈为了满足我那小小心愿而编出的善意的谎言。

一场“光盘行动”正在我们身边进行。它是北京市一家民间公益组织推行的公益活动。该活动的主题是：从我做起，今天不剩饭。

公益组织的志愿者倡议市民在饭店就餐打包剩饭，“光盘”离开，形成人人节约粮食的好风气。据活动组织者介绍，未来他们将继续在不同城市开展这个公益活动。 许多人其实都应该问问自己：在家或外出就餐时，我有多久没有剩过饭菜或打包?相信绝大部分人都会对类似的问题不屑一顾，因为在他们看来，这早已是远离饥饿与食不裹腹的年代，已不必再去对所谓的剩菜剩饭斤斤计较。而正在发起的“光盘行动”，显然是在试图提醒与告诫我们：饥饿感距离我们仍并不遥远，而即便时至今日，尊重粮食仍是需要被奉行的古老美德之一。

是的，较之相当部分的城市居民来说，饥饿感并不现实地存在，给他们带来更大烦恼的，反而是如何来平衡饮食以保证个体健康的难题。但我们真的就可以说节俭在当下也是一种可有可无的公共品质吗?回溯到30多年前，饥饿感还与许多中国人的生活息息相关，困绕着他们的肠与胃。就算是到了今天，不少偏远山区的居民，食物依旧单调，粮食依旧匮乏。不时曝出的相关新闻让人心痛，也会让我们知道，对待粮食的大手大脚还不免太奢侈与夸张。

我们真的需要拒绝一种“舌尖上的浪费”，事实上，这也是在为我们储存下明天所需要的粮食。有一项调查结果显示，我国消费者每年仅餐饮浪费的食物蛋白和脂肪就分别达800万吨和300万吨，最少倒掉了约2亿人一年的口粮。你随意的对剩菜剩饭的倒掉，很可能是2亿人的口粮——在这样触目惊心的日常数据叠加后，你还能为自己对食物的漠不在意而心安理得吗?普通公民铺张浪费的饮食习惯必须要改变，而制度，更需要为制止过度的公款吃喝树立起“防火墙”。 2012年的世界粮食日里，国家粮食局首次向全国粮食干部职工发起倡议，倡导自愿参加24小时饥饿体验活动，以更好地警醒世人“丰年不忘灾年，增产不忘节约，消费不能浪费”。

每个人当然不必都去重新体验饥饿，但我们的确要找回一种对于粮食的温暖与敬意。诗人海子曾经说，从明天起，让我们关心粮食与蔬菜。我们也不妨这样赶紧行动起来，接力成为“光盘”一族。

《荀子·大略》中曾介绍过三类人才，其一是“口能言之，身不能行“谓之理论型人才;其二是“口不能言，身能行之”，谓之实干型人才;其三是“口能言之，身能行之”，谓之全才。对于以上三种人才的选择，我更愿意成为第三种人才类型——“口能言之，身能行之”全才。因为全才是连系实干家与理论家的桥梁纽带。实干与理论的结合，才能真正为国之大器。

理论是推动社会发展的必要因素，理论以其独特的视角指引着我们向远方迈进。理论型人才由此可视为社会的源动力，如前国家副总理胡乔木，就是我党理论性人才的杰出表。实干是国家振兴的重要组成部分，如前国务院总理周恩来，就是我党最杰出的实干家。

实干是凭借踏实肯干的精神完成计划、达到目标，实干兴邦。实干型人才由此可视为社会前进的开拓机。但正是基于两者的属性不同，我才更愿意成为全面发展的人才。因为只有当开拓机与源动力有机的结合，才会使社会真正有力不断地向前发展。当空有理论，而不知以行动来实现时，我们就像手拿着加速器却无处安置，最终动力便会枯竭;当只知埋头苦干不知寻找方向时，我们就像无头的苍蝇乱飞乱撞，迟早撞墙而亡。所以，我们当下最应培养的是能够将实干与理论相结合的人才，即为”口能言之，身能行之。“其实理论与实干的结合可以比为古代的文臣与武将，就像赵国的廉颇与蔺相如两人齐心协力，赵国才能和谐安宁。因此，如今也只有理论导航，实干开掘，理论与实干并行，国家才能获得最好的发展。

但培养全才型人才时，大忌便是泛泛而为。培养出的人才常常是口能言之，而言之无物;身能行之，而漏洞百出。所以，我们在一味追求于复合型人才时，我们也要适可而止。当本身不具备聪明睿智的头脑时，便不用刻意强求，而要以理论闯出一片天下，成为大国“工匠”;当本身不具备执行的高效能力时，也不用执念于行动力上，只要在理论上多费点心思，也可为国家发展添砖加瓦。由此可见，无论实干与理论，掌握了哪个都将必定成为出彩的国人。

“人生最高境界在于有所做为”，这是恩格斯的判评准则。理论型人才以方向对我们引导有所做为;实干型人才以肯干精神帮助我们实现目标有所做为。但全才既以其敏锐的视角、又以其无懈可击的行动力，推进着社会的发展。所以，我认为“口能言之，身能行之”才最有做为，才能攀登人生之巅。我愿为“口能言之，身能行之”的全才，为社会发展，为国家兴盛贡献出绵薄之力。

1941年1月5日，宫崎骏出生于东京都文京区，在四个兄弟中排名第二，父亲是宫崎家族经营的“宫崎航空兴学”的职员。在第二次世界大战中因战时疏散，举家迁往宇都宫市和鹿沼市。

宫崎骏所在的家族经营一个飞机工厂，属于军工企业，所以战争后期物质匮乏中也能保持颇为温饱的生活，他度过了相当自由的幼年生活。

宫崎骏自幼由于身体不好，故不擅长运动，但对静态的绘画却很有天分，特别是对飞机很感兴趣，并成为终生的爱好。虽然年纪小，但他从来不临摹，他说：“可能是母亲对我说‘不能仿效他人’吧，所以铁臂阿童木、小鬼Q太郎等都没有画过。小时候就一直被灌输这种‘不能仿效’的思想。但是因为看过这些作品，所以心里也受到了影响。”

1958年，宫崎骏读高中三年级的时候，日本史上第一部彩色动画长片《白蛇传》上映，他开始对动画产生兴趣。大学时，他进入了与漫画社最为接近的儿童文学研究会，社员只有宫崎骏一个人。

由于宫崎骏是次子，有长子继承家业，所以他可以按自己喜好去选择自己的职业。1963年4月，宫崎骏开始从事动画师的工作，最初仅仅是从事最底层的原画和设计工作，但很快崭露头角，升职为主要制作人。

1964年，宫崎骏看到苏联制作的长篇动画《雪之女王》，被深深地感动，决定选择动画师作为终生职业。从那时起到如今，他始终热爱，从来没有放弃过。

范文

《诗经》《论语》等国学著作从图书馆走进家庭书橱，阅读场景在变，不变的是对先贤哲思的追求。

先哲前贤，之所以能独领风骚千百年，原因就在于其在纷繁万千变化之中，寻求不变之理。譬如孔圣，面对礼崩乐坏、社会失序的巨变，乃于思变中求理，寻求解决之道。不过，孔圣的仁义之道不是无源之水，更非闭门造车、无中生有，而是传承先贤周公礼乐的哲思。先贤的不懈探求、持续的代际传承，便是中华文化流传五千年的根本原因。而先贤，也因此而得以人生不朽。

对于《诗经》《论语》这些国学著作，不管是在图书馆读，还是在家里读，我们对先贤哲思的追求不变。读先贤的书，我们都需思考：先贤哲思的内涵是什么?“江山代有才人出，各领风骚数百年”，中国历先贤数量之众，真是名副其实的百花齐放、春光满园。孔孟之道，致君尧舜，教化社会，己欲立而立人，乃其人世大道;墨子之道，尚简节用，鄙弃华美之形，口腹之欲，兴百姓之利，乃其大爱之道;老庄之道，以自然为道，见素抱朴，少私寡欲，追求无为而治，乃其自然大道。这些先贤虽然主张各异，然而拨开形式变化之迷雾，便会发现其内蕴的不变之理，那就是悲悯世人的胸怀、经世致用的价值追求。

不管是在图书馆读，还是在家里读，读的目的都一样：学习先贤，探讨人生的意义所在。

先贤的悲悯哲思，是后人的一种价值判断。人生意义何在?就在于兴民之利，除民之害。《左传》有言，“太上有立德，其次有立功，其次有立言，虽久不废，此之谓不朽。”先贤对人生社会的哲思，对人生价值的设定，也就成了中国人一生的理想和追求。通过个人努力厚德

载物、兼济天下，是先贤哲思的终极目标。虽然有所谓“穷则独善其身”，但这不正是人生价值不得实现的无奈和落寞吗?试想一个士子，若能出将入相、苟利国家，谁会漂泊江湖、吟风

弄月呢?东坡如是，辛弃疾如是，其余诸人莫不如是。

即使阅读的大场景有变，我们都要咬定青山不放松，不可改变对先贤哲思的追求。

不知从何时起，风气渐变，让先贤之哲思境遇颇为尴尬。关注物质的人多了，追求精神的人少了;关注自我的人多了，关心社会的人少了;丑化英雄的人多了，赞美崇尚的人少了。读读《诗经》，便被视为附庸风雅;翻翻《论语》，便被贴上虚伪的标签。怨天尤人、感慨系之固无不可，然而这不也正是吾辈大有作为之时吗?任世风嚣然，我自岿然不动。去吧，带着悲悯的情怀去改造社会，人生即不朽!

国学著作已经从图书馆走进了家庭，这真是天大的幸事!因为，开卷即有益!因为，对先贤哲思的追求不变!场景虽变，幸好，哲思永传!追慕先贤，传承不朽!

导语：共享单车在退出以来就给人们出行提供了极大的便利，但是在这使用过程中也出现了很多问题。下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的优秀英语作文，欢迎阅读与借鉴，谢谢!

It has been billed as a hi-tech bike-sharing boom that entrepreneurs hope will make them rich while simultaneously transforming Chinas traffic-clogged cities.

But, occasionally, dreams can turn sour.

In the southern Chinese city of Shenzhen, more than 500 bicycles for hire have been found dumped in huge piles on the streets, according to reports.

Pictures showed jumbled stacks of vehicles nearly three metres high, with handlebars, baskets and other parts scattered on the ground.

City streets around the country have seen an explosion of the colourful bikes that users can rent on demand with a smartphone app and then park wherever they choose.

The sharing economy is taking off in China, where ride-sharing and Airbnb are increasingly commonplace.

From Shanghai to Sichuan province, bike-sharing schemes are being rolled out in an effort to slash congestion and air pollution by putting a country once known as the "Kingdom of Bicycles" back on two wheels.

Companies such as Ofo and Mobike, with their rival fleets of bumblebee yellow and fluorescent orange bikes, have been locked in a cut-throat battle for customers.

But problems have arisen when clients have abandoned their cycles.

"Some people these days just have really bad character," a man named He, who lives near where the stacks appeared, told the Southern Metropolis Daily.

"When theyre done using (the bike) they just throw it away somewhere, because theyve already paid."

In the past few days he witnessed people demolishing the bikes before discarding them on the side of the road, he said.

Residents told the paper that bikes had been piling up over the past week, either parked haphazardly by careless users or stacked by local security guards trying to clear narrow residential alleys and footpaths.

Zhuang Chuangyu, a representative at Shenzhens municipal peoples congress, said the city needed to step up regulation of the bike-sharing industry in order to improve traffic conditions and safety standards, especially since schoolchildren often used the bikes.

In 1980, almost 63% of commuters cycled to work, the Beijing Morning Post reported in 2015, citing government data. But by 2000 that number had plummeted to 38% and today it stands at less than 12%.

Car use, meanwhile, has rocketed. In 2010 China overtook the US to become the worlds largest car market, with 13.5m vehicles sold in just 12 months.

这已被誉为高科技的自行车共享繁荣，企业家希望将使他们富裕的同时，把中国的交通堵塞的城市。

但是，偶尔，梦想可以变酸。

据报道，在中国南部城市深圳，有超过500辆出租自行车被丢弃在大街上。

图片显示车辆杂乱的堆高近三米，与车把，篮子和其他零件散落一地。

全国各地的城市街道都看到了五彩缤纷的自行车爆炸，用户可以按需智能手机应用程序租，然后公园无论他们选择。

共享经济是在中国起飞，在骑共享和Airbnb是越来越普遍。

从上海到四川省，自行车共享计划正在铺开，旨在通过将一个曾经被称为“自行车王国”的国家拖回两个轮子来减少拥挤和空气污染。

公司如G和Mobike，与他们的对手大黄蜂的黄色和橙色荧光自行车车队，被锁定在一个客户的割喉战。

但问题出现时，客户已经放弃了他们的周期。

“有些人这几天真的很坏，”一个叫他，他住在附近的栈出现，告诉南方都市报。

“当他们使用(自行车)，他们只是把它扔在某处，因为他们已经支付。”

他说，在过去的几天里，他亲眼目睹人们在把自行车扔到路边的时候拆除自行车。

居民告诉记者，自行车被堆放在过去的一周里，要么停地由粗心的用户或由当地保安试图明确狭窄的胡同和人行道堆放。

庄创宇，深圳市人大代表，需要加快共享行业为了改善交通条件和安全标准的自行车调节城市说，尤其是学生经常使用的自行车。

1980日，北京晨报报道，近63%的上班族骑车上班，引用政府数据。但是到了2000，这个数字已经降到了38%，而今天却还不到12%。

与此同时，汽车的使用量猛增。2010中国取代美国成为世界最大的汽车市场，与13.5m车辆在短短12个月内出售。

“饿!饿!好饿!”中午一下课，我就迫不及待地排好队伍，准备向食堂出发。同学们也都急急忙忙奔向走廊，看样子，大概也和我一样，饥肠辘辘了。

一进食堂，飘来阵阵香味，我狠狠地吸了一下鼻子，好香!可定睛一看!那菜花的头一片焦黑，看样子，不是那么好吃。突然，一位同学嚷道：“今天的菜有焦味，味道不怎么样啊!”被他们这么一说，我那兴奋的心情一下子从喜玛朗雅山跌到了雅鲁藏布大峡谷，不经心地端来盘子，瞟了一下，哎! 太没有胃口了!随意地夹了几个菜进嘴里，又艰难地咽了下去，但我还是塞了几口米饭，吃了一半，我就吃不下去了，可碗里，还有好多米饭呢! 看看有些同学，还是狼吞虎咽地吃着。突然，我想找个理由溜之大吉，可脑海里浮现出了广告中的一句话“当你倒掉一碗饭时，在这个世界上，早已浪费了几千亿碗饭……”

难道 ，我眼睁睁地浪费它，还是……此时，周主任的一番教育又在我耳畔想起：“光盘行动，从今天开始，节约粮食，从我们做起!”不再想了，还是吃了吧!于是，我就拿起调羹，一口一口地吃了起来，这时候，我多么希望自己有一支魔法棒，把那些食物都变成香喷喷的薯片啊!可是……哎!真是白日做梦啊!终于吃完了 最后一口，走喽!看着空空的饭菜，我不经意地笑了!

光盘行动，我参加了!从今天开始，我不仅要改掉挑食的坏习惯，还要节约粮食!

最近我看过这样一个故事：一群中国人在德国考察，点了一桌的菜，吃剩了三分之一，一群人刚要走出餐馆，餐馆里有人在叫我们。不知是怎么回事：是否谁的东西落下了?我们都好奇，回头去看看。看到我们都围来了，老太太改说英文，我们就都能听懂了，她在说我们剩的菜太多，太浪费了。我们觉得好笑，这老太太多管闲事!“我们花钱吃饭买单，剩多少，关你老太太什么事?”同事阿桂当时站出来，想和老太太练练口语。

听到阿桂这样一说，老太太更生气了，为首的老太太立马掏出手机，拨打着什么电话。一会儿，一个穿制服的人开车来了，称是社会保障机构的工作人员。问完情况后，这位工作人员居然拿出罚单，开出50欧元的罚款。这下我们都不吭气了。阿桂的脸不知道扭到哪里去了，也不敢再练口语了。

驻地的同事只好拿出50欧元，并一再说：“对不起!” 这位工作人员收下钱，郑重地对我们说：“需要吃多少，就点多少!钱是你自己的，但资源是全社会的，世界上有很多人还缺少资源，还吃不饱饭，你们不能够也没有理由浪费!” 我们脸都红了。但我们在心里却都认同这句话。

一个很富有的国家里，人们有着这种意识。我们得好好反思：我们是个资源不是很丰富的国家，而且人口众多，平时请客吃饭，剩下的总是很多，主人怕客人吃不好丢面子，担心被客人看成小气鬼，就点很多的菜，反正都有剩，你不会怪我不大方吧。事实上，我们真的需要改变我们的一些习惯了，并且还要树立“大社会”的意识，再也不能“穷大方”了。食物一旦为你煮熟上桌，你们不吃完就成了泔水，就无法再给其他需要的人吃了。我们真有吃不完的食物吗? “钱是你自己的，但资源是全社会的。”这才是真正的公民意识，一个安居乐业社会的最基本的意识之一。

在中国宴请、聚会、甚至个人在外就餐、大学学生食堂大量浪费随处可见、司空见惯，不以为耻!也把这种德行散到国外真可悲。

支持光盘行动，改掉恶习，浪费可耻!提高民族素质。

1937年12月，日军占领南京，随后就是那场人类历野蛮血腥、惨绝人寰的“南京大屠杀”。这是一段令杨振宁，也是令整个中华民族刻骨铭心的耻辱历史。

烽火岁月里，父亲带着一家人从合肥经汉口等地到了昆明。杨振宁在那里进了西南联大，那所在战时极负盛名的大学。父亲也在那所大学任教。

西南联大由战前中国最有声望的三所大学合并而成，它们是北京大学、清华大学和天津的南开大学。

杨振宁在西南联大读了4年本科，尔后，1942年至1944年，还是在西南联大，他又完成了研究生学业。

杨振宁在西南联大读的是物理系。当时在西南联大任教的教授多为留学欧美归来的年轻博士。他坦率直言，在西南联大，最为成功的当推数学系，而给他留下印象最深的三位数学教授是：陈省身，华罗庚和许宝路。

说到物理系的老师们，杨振宁的眉宇间更是洋溢着一种难以抑制的怀念之情。那些当年亲手把他引入科学圣殿的业师们，都是中国物理学界不可多得的杰出人才哪!

杨振宁是一个非常念旧重情的人，对于他来说，师恩终身难忘。他十分尊崇已故的赵宗尧教授，80年代，他曾与国内的物理学界同行共同撰文，赞扬赵老师在物理学研究和教育中取得的重要成就。还有吴大猷和王竹溪教授，在杨振宁的眼里，这两位老师当年的教育对他的一生都起到了重大的影响。

杨振宁在上大学四年级时，曾就毕业论文一事求教于吴大猷教授。吴大猷当时给他出了一个题目：“群论在分子光谱学中的运用”，而分子光谱学正属于吴大猷本人当时的研究范围。在吴大猷的指导下，杨振宁完成了这篇论文。就在完成这篇论文的过程中，杨振宁第一次步入群论研究这一神奇之谷，群论在未来物理学研究空间中的重要地位，群论所展示的那种令人赞叹的奇特的美，在这位未来的诺贝尔物理奖得主心中留下了极为深刻的印象。自此以后，杨振宁一生所从事的研究几乎都与群论有关。

We should have healthy eating habits. Third, we should do more exercise to build up our bodies.Finally, we should wash hands before meals and brush our teeth twice a day.

Each and every one of us is responsible for the greenhouse gases we emit in our daily actions and choices. Therefore, combating climate change is going to take the combined efforts of everyone on the planet.

The average household carbon footprint in China is 2.41 tons of carbon dioxide annually. Thats enough to fill half an Olympic swimming pool.

Surprised? Well, heres how you can work to reduce it:

1.Get started by calculating your own carbon footprint. This will give you a starting point from which to begin monitoring your progress. You enter details such as what sort of apartment you live in, your personal energy use and travel habits.

2. Each week, choose one day when you dont eat meat. Meat uses up lots of energy because it takes a long time to produce. Animals produce methane, which is another dangerous greenhouse gas, when they burp and fart.

3. Only buy the amount of food you need and if there are leftovers, get creative. For instance, make them into a soup. Ask to take food home from restaurants if theres some left, but remember to take your own container to avoid using a disposable carton.

我们每一个人负责温室气体排放在我们的日常行为和选择。因此,应对气候变化需要地球上的每个人都的共同努力。

平均每个家庭在中国的碳排放量是2.41吨二氧化碳。足够填充半个奥运游泳池了。

惊讶吗?下面是如何努力去减少这种:

1。开始计算你自己的碳足迹。这将给你一个起点的开始监视你的进步。您输入详细信息,比如什么样的公寓你住在,你的个人能源使用和旅行的习惯。

2。每周选择一天当你不吃肉。肉类消耗大量的能源,因为它需要很长时间。动物可以产生甲烷,这是另一种危险的温室气体——当他们打嗝、放屁。

3。只买适量的食物,如有剩饭,有创意。例如,让他们变成一个汤。要求把食物带回家从餐馆如果有一些离开,但切记要适用自己的饭盒,避免用一次性饭盒。

Nobody knows what time is like, for we cannot see it, nor can we touch it.

没有人知道时间是什么样的，因为我们看不见它，也不能碰它。

Time is abstract, which we can only imagine in our mind.

时间是抽象的，我们只能想象在我们心中。

But we do know that time passes very quickly. Some students, however, do not know the value of time, nor do they know how to make the best use of it, for they waste it in going to films, playing games and doing other useless things.Why do we go to school early in the morning? Why do trains run so fast? Why do most people prefer taking buses instead of walking? The answer is very simple: we wish to save time because time is precious.

但我们知道时间过得很快。一些学生，但是，不知道时间的价值，他们也不知道如何充分利用它，因为他们浪费在电影，玩游戏和做其他无用的东西。为什么我们去学校早在早晨？为什么火车跑这么快？为什么大多数人喜欢坐公交车而不是步行？答案很简单：我们希望节省时间，因为时间是宝贵的。

Today we are living in the twentieth century. We know that time is life.

今天我们生活在第二十个世纪。我们知道时间就是生命。

When a person dies, his time has ended.Since life is short, we must devote our time and energy to our studies so that we may be able to serve our country and the people. But since time is invisible, we often neglect it. Lazinss. is the thief of time, for lasiness not only brings us a lot of harm, it also brings us failure. If it is necessary for us to do some work today, let us do it today and not leave it until tomorrow. Remember that time is more valuable than money.

当一个人死了，他的时间已经结束了，因为生命是短暂的，我们必须把时间和精力投入到学习中去，这样我们就可以为我们的国家和人民服务。但由于时间是无形的，我们经常忽视它。懒惰。是时间的盗贼，它不但给我们带来许多危害，也会使我们失败。如果我们今天做些工作是必要的，我们今天就把它做，而不是把它留到明天。记住时间比金钱更宝贵。

The Most Important Thing in the World

世界上最重要的事情

In my opinion，the most important thing in the world is TIME.However long one may live，his life consists of a certain number of years，and a year has only12months，a month30days and one day24hours.Once you waste one hour，you can not get it back no matter how much you would pay for it.

在我看来，最重要的是时间。只要一个人活了，他的生活是由若干年，一年有only12months，一month30days一day24hours。一旦你浪费一小时，你不能拿回来，不管你会付多少钱。

Even though you are the richest person in the world，you can not afford to waste your time，because it means that you are wasting your life.Even though you are the most powerful person in the world，one hour has60minutes for you just as for everyone else who struggles at the bottom of the society.

即使你是世界上最富有的人，你不能浪费你的时间，因为这意味着你在浪费你的生命。即使你是世界上最强大的人，一个小时has60minutes你就像每个人挣扎在社会底层的人。

Some people think that the most important thing in the world is money.In their opinion，if you have enough money，you will have everything you want.I would like to ask them a simple question：Can you buy time?

有些人认为世界上最重要的是金钱，在他们看来，如果你有足够的钱，你会拥有你想要的一切，我想问他们一个简单的问题：你能买时间吗？

The only thing with which we can win more time is efficiency.If you work with high efficiency，you can do more in a certain period of time than other people.

我们可以争取更多的时间是效率，如果你工作效率很高，你可以在一段时间内做更多的工作，而不是其他人。

The Best Kind of Love

i’m young again!” she shouts euberantly.as my friend raves on about her new love, i’ve taken a good look at my old one. my husband of almost 20 years, scott, has gained 15 pounds. once a marathon runner, he now runs only down hospital halls. his hairline is receding and his body shows the signs of long working hours and too many candy bars. yet he can still give me a certain look across a restaurant table and i want to ask for the check and head home.

when my friend asked me “what will make this love last?” i ran through all the obvious reasons: commitment, shared interests, unselfishness, physical attraction, communication. yet there’s more. we still have fun. spontaneous good times. yesterday, after slipping the rubber band off the rolled up newspaper, scott flipped it playfully at me: this led to an all-out war. last saturday at the grocery, we split the list and raced each other to see who could make it to the checkout first. even washing dishes can be a blast. we enjoy simply being together.and there are surprises. one time i came home to find a note on the front door that led me to another note, then another, until i reached the walk-in closet. i opened the door to find scott holding a “pot of gold” (my cooking kettle) and the “treasure” of a gift package. sometimes i leave him notes on the mirror and little presents under his pillow.there is understanding. i understand why he must play basketball with the guys. and he understands why, once a year, i must get away from the house, the kids -and even him -to meet my sisters for a few days of nonstop talking and laughing.

there is sharing. not only do we share household worries and parental burdens - we also share ideas. scott came home from a convention last month and presented me with a thick historical novel. though he prefers thrillers and science fiction, he had read the novel on the plane. he touched my heart when he eplained it was because he wanted to be able to echange ideas about the book after i’d read it.

there is forgiveness. when i’m embarrasssingly loud and crazy at parties, scott forgives me. when he confessed losing some of our savings in the stock market, i gave him a hug and said, “it’s okay. it’s only money.”there is sensitivity. last week he walked through the door with that look that tells me it’s been a tough day. after he spent some time with the kids, i asked him what happened. he told me about a 60-year-old woman who’d had a stroke. he wept as he recalled the woman’s husband standing beside her bed, caressing her hand. how was he going to tell this husband of 40 years that his wife would probably never recover? i shed a few tears myself. because of the medical crisis. because there were still people who have been married 40 years. because my husband is still moved and concerned after years of hospital rooms and dying patients.

there is faith. last tuesday a friend came over and confessed her fear that her husband is losing his courageous battle with cancer. on wednesday i went to lunch with a friend who is struggling to reshape her life after divorce. on thursday a neighbor called to talk about the frightening effects of alzheimer’s disease on her father-in-law’s personality. on friday a childhood friend called long-distance to tell me her father had died. i hung up the phone and thought, this is too much heartache for one week. through my tears, as i went out to run some errands, i noticed the boisterous orange blossoms of the gladiolus outside my window. i heard the delighted laughter of my son and his friend as they played. i caught sight of a wedding party emerging from a neighbor’s house. the bride, dressed in satin and lace, tossed her bouquet to her cheering friends. that night, i told my husband about these events. we helped each other acknowledge the cycles of life and that the joys counter the sorrows. it was enough to keep us going.finally, there is knowing. i know scott will throw his laundry just shy of the hamper every night; he’ll be late to most appointments and eat the last chocolate in the bo. he knows that i sleep with a pillow over my head; i’ll lock us out of the house at a regular basis, and i will also eat the last chocolate.

i guess our love lasts because it is comfortable. no, the sky is not bluer: it’s just a familiar hue. we don’t feel particularly young: we’ve eperienced too much that has contributed to our growth and wisdom, taking its toll on our bodies, and created our memories.i hope we’ve got what it takes to make our love last. as a bride, i had scott’s wedding band engraved with robert browning’s line “grow old along with me!” we’re following those instructions.

“if anything is real, the heart will make it plain.”
