sorrow. The sound of the rain knocking on the window was so mournful that it
deepened my distress.
My memory brought me back to the class when I saw him for the last
time.
That evening it was raining, too. We started our lesson as usual at a
quarter past six. I sat in the first row, and I saw Mr Cai press his stomach
with a hand from time to time, but I didn’t know the reason then. The two hours
passed quickly. When the lesson came to an end,Mr Cai told us that he had
possibly developed a stomach cancer, and would go to Beijing to see a doctor. If
there was nothing serious, he would continue to teach us after he came back. He
was very calm and his voice was steady. He still gave us some homework. He said
that he would mark the papers as soon as he came back.
Then I started to wait for his return. I had not thought that I would not
see him any more. The cancer had taken his life, even though he was still
young.
Mr Cai’s words are still ringing in my ears,“I hope you will be one of the
best students.” I think I should work hard at English and live up to his
expectation .
I have lost a good teacher. Tears will dry up in time, but the memory will
stay for ever.

lives. It becomes more and more popular and much news reported it. At the same

You can find a bicycle anywhere at any time when you want to go out for a
cycling, and the price of one trip is very low. It cansave time for people. On
the other side, its management is not perfect. Even kids can open the lock and
ride the bicycle, there is no doubt that such behavior is very dangerous. Whats
more, many people deliberately break it, like throw it to the river or destroy
the code above it.
In my opinion, we should take a developing view about bicycle sharing. It

should introduce relevant provisions toregulate this market to avoid its
disadvantages.

the young or old people. People follow the manner rules and have a nice
communication between each other, but some people ignore the rules and they
treat their rude behaviors as something cool. Today, people advocate the
individuality, so the young generation wants to do something different and catch
peoples attention. For example, they dont care other peoples feeling and
criticize others as they like, or just interrupt when other people is talking,
they just show what they want to say and they believe they are special and cool.

idea about individuality. We can do something special on the base of respect
others and follow the rules, or we are just the rude people.

both knowledge and entertainment. By reading, we can learn lots of information

篇16:食品安全英语
全文共 1111 字
+ 加入清单Over the past couple of years, several cases of the food scandal have been
disclosed on various media. The problem of food security has become a hot button
across society. The prevalence of food insecurity has greatly impacted public
health, which the government could not afford to ignore, according to the online
edition of the People Daily. ?
There are a couple of driving forces, I would argue, behind this
undesirable tide. First, in the course of the rapid economic evolution, we
ignore moral education, giving rise to the rising rate of the problem. More
importantly, the lack of adequate regulation and punishment on those illegal
producers enforces the trend. ?
As Confucius instructed, it is better late than never. Prompt and strict
measures should be taken to turn back this evil trend. The government should
launch a massive moral campaign to educate all citizens and draw up tougher laws
to crack down on those irresponsible corporations and prohibit them from
entering the food industry again. I am firmly convinced that through our
combined efforts we are bound to enjoy more risk-free foods in the days
ahead.?

篇20:关于元宵节英语
全文共 6620 字
+ 加入清单There are many different beliefs about the origin of the Lantern Festival.
But one thing for sure is that it had something to do with celebrating and
cultivating positive relationship between people, families, nature and the
higher beings they believed were responsible for bringing/returning the light
each year.
One legend tells us that it was a time to worship Taiyi, the God of Heaven
in ancient times. The belief was that the God of Heaven controlled the destiny
of the human world. He had sixteen dragons at his beck and call and he decided
when to inflict drought, storms, famine or pestilence upon human beings.
Beginning with Qinshihuang, the first emperor to unite the country, all the
emperors ordered splendid ceremonies each year. The emperor would ask Taiyi to
bring favorable weather and good health to him and his people. Emperor Wudi of
the Han Dynasty directed special attention to this event. In 104 BC, he
proclaimed it as one of the most important celebrations and the ceremony would
last throughout the night. They clean it all up in the morning.
Another legend associates the Lantern Festival with Taoism. Tianguan is the
Taoist god responsible for good fortune. His birthday falls on the 15th day of
the first lunar month. It is said that Tianguan likes all types of
entertainment, so followers prepare various kinds of activities during which
they pray for good fortune.
Yet another common legend dealing with the origins of the Lantern Festival
speaks of a beautiful bird that flew down to earth from heaven, which was hunted
and killed by some villagers. This angered the Jade Emperor in Heaven because
the bird was his favorite one. Therefore, he planned a storm of fire to destroy
the village on the 15th lunar day. The Jade Emperors daughter heard of this
plan, and warned the villagers of her father’s plan to destroy their village.
The village was in turmoil because nobody knew how should they escape their
imminent destruction.
However, a wise man from another village suggested that every family should
hang red lanterns around their houses, set up bonfires on the streets, and
explode firecrackers on the 14th, 15th, and 16th lunar days. This would give the
village the appearance of being on fire to the Jade Emperor. On the 15th lunar
day, troops sent down from heaven whose mission was to destroy the village saw
that the village was already ablaze, and returned to heaven to report to the
Jade Emperor. Satisfied, the Jade Emperor decided not to burn down the village.
From that day on, people celebrate the anniversary on the 15th lunar day every
year by carrying red lanterns on the streets and exploding firecrackers and
fireworks.
There are many stories on how this festival was created. One other story is
about a maid. In the Han Dynasty, Mr. Eastern was a favorite advisor of the
emperor. One winter day, he went to the garden and heard a little girl crying
and getting ready to jump into a well to commit suicide. Mr. Eastern stopped her
and asked why. She said she was a maid in the emperors palace and her name was
Yuan-Xiao.
She never had the chance to meet her family after she started worked at the
palace. She missed them so much every 12th lunar month. If she couldnt have the
chance to show her filial piety in this life, she would rather die. Mr. Eastern
promised her to find a way so she could reunion with her family. Mr. Eastern
left the palace and set up a fortune-telling stall on the street and disguised
himself as a fortuneteller. Because of his reputation, many people asked for
their fortunes.
But every one got the same prediction - a severe fire accident on the 15th
lunar day. The rumor spread quickly. Everyone was worried about the future and
asked Mr. Eastern for help. Mr. Eastern said, "On the 13th lunar day, the God of
Fire will send a fairy lady in red to burn down the city. If you see a lady in
red wearing green pants riding a black horse on that day, you should ask for her
mercy." On that day, Yuan-Xiao pretended to be the red fairy lady. When people
asked for her help, she said, "Im the messenger of the God of Fire and came to
check on the city and Im going to set up fire on 15th. This is an order from
Jade Emperor. He will watch from the heavens.
I will give you a copy of the imperial decree from the God of Fire. You
should go to ask your emperor to find a way out." After she left, people went to
the palace to show the emperor the decree which reads "The capital city is in
trouble. Fire burns on the palace, and fire from Heaven burns all night long on
the 15th." The emperor of Han Dynasty was very shocked. He called and asked Mr.
Eastern for advice. After pondering for a while, Mr. Eastern said, "I heard that
the God of Fire likes to eat Tang-Yuan (Sweet dumpling). Does Yuan-Xiao often
cook Tang-Yuan for you? On the 15th lunar day, let Yuan-Xiao make Tang-Yuan.
Your Majesty will take charge of the worshipping ceremony and you will give
an order to every house to prepare Tang-Yuan to worship the God of Fire at the
same time. Also, deliver another order to ask every house in the city to hang
red lantern and explode fire crackers. Lastly, everyone in the palace and people
outside the city should carry their lanterns on the street to watch the lantern
decoration and fireworks. If everything goes this way, the Jade Emperor would be
deceived.
Then everyone can avoid the fire accident." The emperor happily followed
the plan. Lanterns were everywhere in the capital city on the night of the 15th
lunar day. People were walking on the street. Fire crackers kept making lots of
noise. It looked like the entire city was on fire. Yuan-Xiaos parents went into
the palace to watch the lantern decorations, and Yuan-Xiao made a big lantern
and wrote her name on the lantern. They happily reunited together after her
parents called her name. Everybody was safe during the night. The emperor of Han
Dynasty had a new order that people should do the same thing every year. Since
Yuan-Xiao cooked the best Tan-Yuan, people called the day Yuan-Xiao
Festival.
Young people were chaperoned in the streets in hopes of finding love.
Matchmakers acted busily in hopes of pairing couples. The brightest lanterns
were symbolic of good luck and hope. As time has passed, the festival no longer
has such implications.
Those who do not carry lanterns often enjoy watching informal lantern
parades. In addition to eating tangyuan (simplified Chinese: 汤圆; traditional
Chinese: 湯圓; pinyin: tāngyuán), another popular activity at this festival is
guessing lantern riddles (which became part of the festival during the Tang
Dynasty), which often contain messages of good fortune, family reunion, abundant
harvest, prosperity and love.
