高二英语作文：河流污染RiverPollution【汇编20篇】

Nowadays, we can often hear the discussion whether buying cars should be encouraged. Some people suggest that we should buy cars. But others claim that driving cars is not a wise idea. As far as I am concerned, I am in favor of the latter opinion.

To begin with, there are few parking lots, so the streets are made narrower by the cars parked along the roads. For example, my father could not find any places to park when we went to the supermarket.

Moreover, many drivers do not obey regulations, because people do not pay enough attention to the rule of traffic. For instance, I often see people cross the road when the traffic lights are still red.

Last but not least, the growth of new roads’ construction is usually slower than the increasing number of cars. For example, the length of the road has gone up by 20% in 2002. However, the number of cars increased by 50% in the meantime.

From what has been discussed above, we could draw a conclusion that encouraging buying cars is not fit for today.

England is a nation in northwest Europe and the largest and most populous constituent country of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Its inhabitants account for more than 83% of the total population of the United Kingdom, whilst the mainland territory of England occupies most of the southern two-thirds of the island of Great Britain and shares land borders with Scotland to the north and Wales to the west. Elsewhere, it is bordered by the North Sea, Irish Sea, Atlantic Ocean, and English Channel.

England was formed as a country during the 10th century and takes its name from the Angles — one of a number of Germanic tribes who settled in the territory during the 5th and 6th centuries. The capital city of England is London, which is the largest city in the British Isles, capital of the United Kingdom and one of the worlds Global Cities.

England ranks as one of the most influential and far-reaching centres of cultural development in the world;it is the place of origin of both the English language and the Church of England, was the historic centre of the British Empire, and the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution.

The Kingdom of England was an independent state until 1 May 1707, when the Acts of Union resulted in a political union with the Kingdom of Scotland to create the Kingdom of Great Britain.

Englands National Day is St Georges Day (Saint George being the patron saint), and it is celebrated annually on 23 April.

When we watch the TV series, there is always the similar plot, in order to fulfill the dreams, the protagonist give up the best time for the treatment, though they are seriously ill. This sounds so inspiring, the spirit of pursuing the dreams moves so many audiences, but for me, besides moved, I feel more sorry about the protagonists, for their unwise choices. Life is important, only the living person can have the rights to talk about the dreams, if they lose their lives, everything is impossible. So health is more important than dreams, people need to keep themselves healthy first, and then they can better fulfill their dreams. The wise person will choose to get the treatment and give up the dreams for a while, when they recover, they continue their dreams. So health first, then other things rank second.

当我们看电视剧的时候，总可以发现相同的剧情，为了实现理想，主人公放弃了最佳的治疗时间，虽然他们本身已经病得很严重。这听起来很励志，为了追求理想的精神感动了很多观众，但是对于我来说，除了感动，对主人公我感到遗憾，因为他们做了不明智的决定。生命是很重要的，只有活着的人才有权利去谈论理想，如果他们失去了生命，一切就不可能了。因此健康比理想重要，人们需要首先保持他们健康，然后才能更好地实现理想。明智的人会选择治疗，暂时放弃理想，当恢复健康的时候，他们可以继续他们的理想。所以，健康第一，其他的事情第二。

Halloween is on the last day of October, it is very popular in the western country. On that day, people will dress in the horrible style, especially for the kids, they will knock from door to door. If people dont give them the candy, the children will play tricks on them. But in China, more and more young people like to follow this trend, they will play the roles and find some fun. As for me, Id like to join some activities on the Halloween. My friends always have some funny costumes, so I will borrow one from them. Then we dress together, when night comes, we will come to join the party. We sing and dance. It is such a fun night. Before the midnight, we will get together and take some drinks. We talk about the happy hour. I like these activities.

万圣节在10月的最后一天,它在西方国家很受欢迎。在那一天,人们会穿着恐怖风格的服装,尤其是孩子们,他们会挨家挨户敲门。如果人们不给他们糖果,孩子们就会捉弄他们。但在中国,越来越多的年轻人喜欢追随这个潮流,他们会扮演角色，找到乐趣。至于我,我喜欢在万圣节参加一些活动。我的朋友总是有一些有趣的服装,所以我会借一件。然后我们一起打扮,夜幕降临时,我们将会来参加聚会。我们唱歌跳舞。这是一个有趣的夜晚。在午夜之前,我们会聚在一起,喝饮料。我们谈论快乐的时光。我喜欢这些活动。

近来，越来越多的高校已经意识到了创建绿色校园的重要意义，它已成为一个遍及全国的新趋势。

Recently, more and more colleges and universities have realized the significance of creating a green campus, it has become a new trend of the spread.

那么，是什么意思时，我们指的绿色校园?一方面，对环境的保护是必要的，不可否认，这是这一概念的前提。另一方面，它是远远不够的，以满足绿色校园的总体目标简单地保持绿色的环境。相反，它也需要所有的工作人员和我们共同的努力，学生的积极的文化氛围建设。

So, what does it mean when we refer to the green, the campus? On the one hand, the protection of the environment is necessary, it can not be denied, this is the premise of this concept. On the other hand, it is far from enough, in order to meet the overall goals of green campus simply keep the green environment. On the contrary, it also requires all staff and our common efforts, the students active cultural atmosphere construction.

因此，为了创造绿色校园，第一，它是必要的，每个人都认为我们自己主办的校园，并认识到绿色的启示给我们带来了房子。更重要的是，需要采取行动以实现目标。最后但并非最不重要的，我们可以传播的精神，更广阔的领域，呼吁更多的人加入这个项目的前景。

Therefore, in order to create a green campus, the first, it is necessary, everyone thinks of themselves as the host of our campus, and to realize the green enlightenment brought the house for us. More importantly, the need to take action to achieve the target. Last but not least, we can spread the spirit, a wider area, call for more people to join the projects prospects.

each year there is an increasing number of cars on the roads as millions of new cars are produced. one out of six americans works at making cars, driving trucks, building roads or filling up gas. americans couldnt live without cars!

most americans would find it hard to imagine life without a car. however, some have realized the serious problem of air pollution caused by cars. the polluted air becomes poisonous and dangerous to health.

one way to get rid of the polluted air is to make a car without pollution. but to build a clean car is easier said than done. progress in this field is slow.

another way is to replace car engines with something else. inventors are now working on steam cars as well as electric cars. many makers believe that it will take years to develop a practical model for us.

to prevent the world from being polluted by cars, we have to make some changes in our lives. americans, for example, have to cut down on the number of their total cars.they are encouraged to use bicycles, which are thought to help keep the air clean.

There is a broadcasting station in our school. All kinds of programmes are

broadcast here. For example, brief news, moral education, voice of the class,

sports entertainment, music appreciation are broadcast on the air all over the

school. It broadcasts both self-made programmes and relays. They are all good,

in my opinion. If we want to improve our English, wed better pick up the

English programme every day. It isnt difficult to understand. We can also

listen to English programmes on the radio. As a result, the more we listen to

the programmes, the more we know. We can also write to the station to give

advice or to ask for what we want.

It was the industrial revolution that gave birth to environmental pollution as we know it today. The emergence of great factories and consumption of immense quantities of coal and other fossil fuels gave rise to unprecedented air pollution and the large volume of industrial chemical discharges added to the growing load of untreated human waste. Chicago and Cincinnati were the first two American cities to enact laws ensuring cleaner air in 1881. Other cities followed around the country until early in the 20th century, when the short lived Office of Air Pollution was created under the Department of the Interior. Extreme smog events were experienced by the cities of Los Angeles and Donora, Pennsylvania in the late 1940s, serving as another public reminder.

Pollution is harmful to human beings. Polluted water causes many kinds of diseases such as diarrhea, enteritis, etc. And sometimes these diseases even take man’s life. Dirty air or air-borne garbage causes stinging eyes and running nose. Pollutants are destructive. They cause runs in nylon stockings and crack rubber tires and they eat away at stone and rust iron.

Measures have been taken to control pollution. In recent years, legislative steps have been introduced to control pollution. Rivers are being cleaned. Air is purified, and pollutants are being trapped before they are poured out of chimneys.

However, pollution problems have not been completely solved. Pesticides are widely used almost everywhere. They pollute soil, water and food. They have the power to make our streams fishless and our gardens and woodlands silent and birdless. Some factories are still using air as a dumping place for wastes. Some lakes are still dirty. Quite a few chimneys are still pouring smoke into air and noise pollution remains serious.

Modern American famous entrepreneurs iacocca said: "without innovation, death." Is ah, this sentence is absolute. Innovation to the development of a person indeed played a very big effect, only learn to innovate, to learn from various angles, to make themselves permanently in the invincible position, to make it and get play on their original level, thus more effectively to change yourself. Rut is one of our well known idioms, which contains the truth is told us to learn to innovate. Once upon a time there were two men, a love to imitate celebrity calligraphy, and the other one is required to follow their own style to practice, another ultimately become a famous calligrapher, but the rut is still unknown. Thus, dares to innovate, to do something.

And what was said Mr Qi baishi is the portrayal of the story: "like I am dead, I dead." Go out of our predecessors framework, will not have their own heaven and earth. There is a story about a businessman and with partners go to gold, because gold prospectors, where resources are less, he learned to innovative ideas, to sell water, adapt to the needs of the market, and made a lot of money. These two examples all tell us the importance of innovation. Now the social everyone on the premise of innovation and to development, improvement, and change. How about, a person that has special mind, has innovation consciousness and the spirit of perseverance, he will be how the end of what? Of course is a perfect ending!

So, let us act, the academic society innovation, advocating innovation, to constantly improve themselves, while we its spring time, trying to do, is a person get give full play to the original level, make oneself permanently in the invincible position, let oneself have a perfect ending, for their own life added a brilliant color! Friend, remember: innovation of self-improvement. Try to do it!

现代美国著名企业家艾柯卡说过:“不创新，就死亡。”是呀，这句话非常有绝对性。创新对一个人的发展的确起了很大的效果，只有学会创新，学会从多个角度，才能使自己永久地处于不败之地，使之并在自己原有水准上得到发挥，从而更高效地改变自我 。 墨守成规是我们众所皆知的一个成语，其中包含的道理就是告诉我们要学会创新。从前有俩个人，一个酷爱模仿名人书法，而另一个人则要求遵循自己的风格去练习，最终另一个成为一名著名的书法家，而那个墨守成规的人仍默默无闻。由此可见，敢于创新，才能有所作为。

而齐白石先生所说过的话正是这个故事的写照：“似我者死，学我者死。”走不出前人的框架，自己就不会有自己的天地。 还有一个故事讲述的是一个商人与同伙伴各自去淘金，由于淘金者数不胜数，哪儿资源又少，他学会创新思路，从而改卖水，适应了市场的需要，从而赚了许多钱。 这两个事例无一不告诉我们创新的重要性。如今，这个社会大家都以创新为前提，去不断发展，完善，改变。试问一下，一个人即拥有非凡头脑，又有创新意识和坚持不懈的精神，他会又怎什么样的结局呢?当然则是完美的结局咯!

所以，让我们行动起来，学会创新，提倡创新，去不断改善自我，趁我们其春年华，努力去做，是个人原有水准得到充分发挥，使自己永久性地处于不败之地，让自己拥有一个完美的结局，为自己的人生添上一笔绚丽的色彩!朋友，记住：创新改善自我。努力做吧!

我的爱好很多很多，但我最喜欢读书。

I love a lot, but I most like reading.

我有一个大书房，房间里第一眼看到的就是书，书房里最显眼的也是我的书。只要有一本书，我就能从喧闹的环境中走出来，所以我的书房是宁静的。要是周末的话，其中九个小时我都会选择看书。为了不让他人打搅自己，我常常在门上贴着“闲人免进”的牌子。书的吸引力实在是太大了，它让我成了“小书虫”。

I have a big room, in the room the first sight is the book, the most prominent in the study and my book. As long as there is a book, I can go out from the noisy environment, so my study is quiet. If the weekend, including nine hours I would choose to read a book. In order not to let others bother me, I often stuck in the door, "Staff Only" brand. The attraction is too big, it made me "little bookworm".

书是我的宝贝，书是我的朋友，书是我的乐园。我爱读书!让我跳进这知识的海洋吧!

The book is my baby, the book is my friend, is my paradise. I love reading! Let me jump into the sea of knowledge!

如果你也是个“小书虫”，那和我一起去跟书赛跑吧!

If you are a "bookworm", that I go with the book s race!

People travel by plane, by train, by ship, by bus. To me, the best way of

traveling on a summer vacation is to go on foot.

My preference depends on the purpose of the travel. On a summer vacation I

travel to refresh myself and to see the countryside. When I use my feet and walk

on a grass covered path along a river or among the hills I feel detached from

the noise of the city and closer to the nature. And when I travel on foot I get

more freedom. I can plan my own schedule. I can choose my own route. I can stop

where I like. And I can see things and people that I might miss if I travel on a

train or on a bus. net

When faster and more convenient ways for travel are becoming available, I

still favor using my own feet. I get much pleasure from it. People travel by

plane, by train, by ship, by bus. To me, the best way of traveling on a summer

vacation is to go on foot.

It is my opinion that students should place their study，health and safety before other things.As for friendship，we can readily find it in our classmates and other people around us .

学生应该网上交友吗?

有人说是的，互联网帮助很多朋友，网上聊天，学生可以更自由地表达他们的感情和意见，甚至得到帮助，他们的外语学习。

然而，其他人认为学生不应该，他们说在网上交朋友是浪费时间，应该花更多的时间在学习上。

我认为学生应该把学习、健康和安全放在其他事情之前，至于友谊，我们可以很容易地在同学和周围的人身上找到。

i never considered myself unique, but people are constantly telling me, "you are a miracle." to me, i was just an ordinary "guy" with realistic goals and big dreams. i was a 19-year-old student at the university of texas and well on my way toward fulfilling my "big dream" of one day becoming an orthopedic surgeon.

我从未觉得自己与众不同，但人们常对我说：“你的生命是个奇迹。”对我而言，我只是一个普通人，有着现实的目标和远大的理想。我曾是德克萨斯大学一名十九岁的大学生，在通向理想之路上信步前行，梦想有一天我会成为一名整形外科医生。

on the night of february 17, 1981 i was studying for an organic chemistry test at the library with sharon, my girlfriend of three years. sharon had asked me to drive her back to her dormitory as it was getting quite late. we got into my car, not realizing that just getting into a car would never quite be the same for me again. i quickly noticed that my gas gauge was registered on empty so i pulled into a nearby convenience store to buy 2.00 worth of gas. "ill be back in two minutes," i yelled at sharon as i closed the door. but instead, those two minutes changed my life forever.

1981年2月17日的晚上，我和交往三年的女友沙伦在为有机化学测试做准备。因为太晚了，沙伦叫我驾车把她送回宿舍。我们钻进汽车，谁能想到在今后的生命中我不能再如此矫健地重复这样一个简单的动作。我很快发现油表空了，于是我把车泊在附近的一家便利店旁，想买两块钱的汽油。“我两分钟就回来，”我关上车门朝沙伦喊到。但就是这短短的两分钟改变了我一生的命运，永远地改变了。

entering the convenience store was like entering the twilight zone. on the outside i was a healthy, athletic, pre-med student, but on the inside i was just another statistic of a violent crime. i thought i was entering an empty store, but suddenly i realized it was not empty at all. three robbers were in the process of committing a robbery and my entrance into the store caught them by surprise. one of the criminals immediately shoved a .38 caliber handgun to my head, ordered me to the cooler, pushed me down on the floor, and pumped a bullet into the back of my head -- execution style. he obviously thought i was dead because he did not shoot me again. the trio of thieves finished robbing the store and left calmly.

进入这家便利店就如同踏上了阴阳间的奈何桥，门外的我还是个健康的，活蹦乱跳的未婚大学生，而门内的我却成了暴力犯罪的又一个牺牲品。我还以为店里没有人，但我突然发现我错了——有三个匪徒正在打劫这家店，而我的进入让他们有些惊慌失措。其中一个匪徒迅速掏出一把口径为38毫米的手枪用力指着我的头，勒令我走到冷冻机旁，然后把我推倒在地，像执行死刑般从后面朝我头部开了一枪。他没再朝我开第二枪，显然他以为我死了。打劫完后三个劫匪逃之夭夭。

meanwhile, sharon wondered why i had not returned. after seeing the three men leave the store she really began to worry as i was the last person she saw entering the store. she quickly went inside to look for me, but saw no one-only an almost empty cash register containing one check and several pennies. quickly she ran down each aisle shouting, "mike, mike!"

与此同时，沙伦对我的不归忧心忡忡。看到这三个匪徒离开便利店后她真的很担心，因为我是她见到的最后一个进入店里的人。她赶快跑进店来找我，只见几乎被一扫而空的收银机上挂着一张帐单，还有几枚硬币散落在上面，四周无人。她在货架间飞快地跑着、喊着：“迈克，迈克!”

just then the attendant appeared from the back of the store shouting, "lady, get down on the floor. ive just been robbed and shot at!"

这时一名服务员从店后面走出来叫到：“小姐，过来一下，我刚才被打劫了，他们还向我开了枪。”

sharon quickly dropped to the floor screaming, "have you seen my boyfriend? he has auburn hair." the man did not reply but went back to the cooler where he found me choking on my vomit. the attendant quickly cleaned my mouth and then called for the police and an ambulance.

沙伦跌跌撞撞地过来哭喊到：“你见到我的男朋友了吗?长褐色头发的。” 那人默默走到冷冻机旁，找到了我，此时呕吐快令到我窒息了。他赶忙帮我擦干了嘴，叫了警察和救护车。

sharon was in shock. she was beginning to understand that i was hurt, but she could not begin to comprehend or imagine the severity of my injury.

沙伦被吓坏了。渐渐地她才明白我受伤了，但是她根本想象不到伤势的严重性。

when the police arrived they immediately called the homicide division as they did not think i would survive and the paramedic reported that she had never seen a person so severely wounded survive. at 1:30 a.m. my parents who lived in houston, were awakened by a telephone call from brackenridge hospital advising them to come to austin as soon as possible for they feared i would not make it through the night.

警察来了，他们很快断定是杀人案，因为没人相信我还能活过来，而救护人员说她从来没有见过伤势如此严重的人可以逃离死劫。下午一点半，我住在奥斯汀的父母被来自布莱肯瑞吉医院的电话铃惊醒，医院通知他们尽快赶到奥斯汀，因为他们认为我熬不过当晚了。

but i did make it through the night and early in the morning the neurosurgeon decided to operate. however, he quickly informed my family and sharon that my chances of surviving the surgery were only 40/60. if this were not bad enough, the neurosurgeon further shocked my family by telling them what life would be like for me if i beat the odds and survived. he said i probably would never walk, talk, or be able to understand even simple commands.

但那晚我挺了过来，第二天清晨神经外科医生决定给我动手术。但他立即告知我的家人和沙伦我存活的机会只有百分之四十。然后他还雪上加霜地告诉我的家人，向他们描述如果我万幸活下来将面临怎样的生活——我可能再也不会走路了，不会说话了，甚至不能理解一些极其简单的命令。这些对我的家人来说都是莫大的打击。

my family was hoping and praying to hear even the slightest bit of encouragement from that doctor. instead, his pessimistic words gave my family no reason to believe that i would ever again be a productive member of society. but once again i beat the odds and survived the three and a half hours of surgery. granted, i still could not talk, my entire right side was paralyzed and many people thought i could not understand, but at least i was stable. after one week in a private room the doctors felt i had improved enough to be transferred by jet ambulance to del oro rehabilitation hospital in houston.

本来家里人祈望能从医生的口中听到一点点鼓励的话，而他悲观的言语让他们没理由相信我还会成为一个对社会有用的人。在经历了三个半小时的手术之后，我再次侥幸地活了下来。医生的话得到了应验，我不能说话，整个右边的身体瘫痪了，许多人认为我变傻了，但至少我身体状况是稳定的。在私人看护病房里呆了一个星期后，医生觉得我已经好转了许多，并可以坐救护飞机转到奥斯汀的德欧洛康复医院。

my hallucinations, coupled with my physical problems, made my prognosis still very bleak. however, as time passed my mind began to clear and approximately six weeks later my right leg began to move ever so slightly. within seven weeks my right arm slowly began to move and at eight weeks i uttered my first few words. my speech was extremely difficult and slow in the beginning, but at least it was a beginning. i was starting to look forward to each new day to see how far i would progress. but just as i thought my life was finally looking brighter i was tested by the hospital euro-psychologist. she explained to me that judging from my test results she believed that i should not focus on returning to college but that it would be better to set more "realistic goals."

意识上的幻觉和生理上的病疾使我的病情预断非常的渺茫。然而时间的飞逝使我的意识开始变得清晰，大约六个星期以后我的右腿可以轻微地活动了，七周以后我的右臂开始缓慢地活动了，八周以后我终于开口说话了。说话对于我非常地艰难并且开始的时候说得很慢，但是总算是开头了。我开始寄希望于新的一天的到来，祈望着新的进步。但正当我以为生活总算初露光明的时候，医院里有个欧洲来的心理学家对我做了测试。她向我解释到，从检测的结果来看她坚信我不能再重返学校，劝我对此不要抱有任何希望，希望我最好树立些更现实点的目标。

upon hearing her evaluation i became furious for i thought, "who is she to tell me what i can or cannot do. she does not even know me. i am a very determined and stubborn person!" i believe it was at that very moment that i decided i would somehow, someday return to college.

她的这番结论让我怒不可遏，“她是谁，凭什么告诉我能做什么或不能做什么。她根本不了解我。我是很坚强而固执的人!”我相信就在那时我决定无论如何，总有一天我会返回学校的。

it took me a long time and a lot of hard work but i finally returned to the university of texas in the fall of 1983 -- a year and a half after almost dying. the next few years in austin were very difficult for me, but i truly believe that in order to see beauty in life you have to experience some unpleasantness. maybe i have experienced too much unpleasantness, but i believe in living each day to the fullest, and doing the very best i can. and each new day was very busy and very full, for besides attending classes at the university i underwent therapy three to five days each week at brackenridge hospital. if this were not enough i flew to houston every other weekend to work with tom williams, a trainer and executive who had worked for many colleges and professional teams and also had helped many injured athletes, such as earl campbell and eric dickerson. through tom i learned: "nothing is impossible and never, never give up or quit."

在经历了一年半垂死挣扎的生活后，在漫长的等待和艰辛的付出后，终于在1983年的秋天，我返回了德克萨斯大学。在奥斯汀接下来的几年里我生活得非常艰难，但我确信为了看到生活中的真善美你必须要经历一些苦难。也许我经历的苦难太多了，但我有一个信念——充实地过每一天，尽力做到最好。日子过的很繁忙、很充实，除了读书，每周我还在要在布莱肯瑞吉医院接受三到五次的治疗。如果这还不够忙的话，我还要隔周和汤姆·威廉斯飞到奥斯汀工作。汤姆是一个教练兼主管，他曾效力于许多大学校队和职业联队，并帮助过许多受伤的运动员，如：厄尔·坎贝尔和艾立克·迪克森。从汤姆的身上我学到“没有什么是不可能的，千万千万不要放弃，永不放弃。”

early, during my therapy, my father kept repeating to me one of his favorite sayings. i have repeated it almost every day since being hurt: "mile by mile its a trial; yard by yard its hard; but inch by inch its a cinch."

早在我接受治疗的时候，父亲总是重复他最爱的那句话，每天当我感到痛苦的时候我也对自己重复那句话，那就是“脚踏实地，切勿急功近利。”

i thought of those words, and i thought of tom, my family and sharon who believed so strongly in me as i climbed the steps to receive my diploma from the dean of liberal arts at the university of texas on that bright sunny afternoon in june of 1986. excitement and pride filled my heart as i heard the dean announce that i had graduated with "highest honors", been elected to phi beta kappa, and been chosen as one of 12 deans distinguished graduates out of 1600 in the college of liberal arts. the overwhelming emotions and feelings that i experienced at that very moment, when most of the audience gave me a standing ovation, i felt would never again be matched in my life-not even when i graduated with a masters degree in social work and not even when i became employed full time at the texas pain and stress center. but i was wrong!

1986年六月那个阳光明媚的午后，当我步履蹒跚地走上德克萨斯大学迪安文学院的台阶接受文凭的时候，我思索着这些话，想到汤姆、父母还有沙伦，他们都那么坚定地给予了我信任。当我听到院长宣布我以最高荣誉毕业时，我的心中充满了骄傲和自信。接着他还宣布我被选入美国大学优等生荣誉学会，并在1600名毕业生中当选为12名迪安文学院的杰出毕业生之一。当场有许多观众站起来为我鼓掌，那一刻令我心潮澎湃、百感交集。我甚至觉得生命中不可能再经历那样的感慨和激情，这种想法一直延续到我获得社会学的硕士学位，成为德克萨斯止痛减压中心的一名全职工作人员。但幸运之神再次眷顾了我!

on may 24, 1987, i realized that nothing could ever match the joy i felt as sharon and i were married. sharon, my high school sweetheart of nine years, had always stood by me, through good and bad times. to me, sharon is my miracle, my diamond in a world filled with problems, hurt, and pain. it was sharon who dropped out of school when i was hurt so that she could constantly be at my side. she never wavered or gave up on me. it was her faith and love that pulled me through so many dark days. while other nineteen year old girls were going to parties and enjoying life, sharon devoted her life to my recovery. that, to me, is the true definition of love. after our beautiful wedding i continued working part time at the pain center and completed my work for a masters degree. we were extremely happy, but even happier when we learned sharon was pregnant.

1987年5月24日，我觉得再没有什么能与此时的快乐相提并论，我和沙伦结婚了。沙伦是我高中时代的女友，风风雨雨九年来，她一直陪在我身旁。对我来说，她是我的奇迹，是我在这个充满困惑和伤痛的世界上拥有的一颗钻石。为了能日夜守侯在我的身旁，沙伦在我受伤的时候放弃了学业。她的爱从未动摇过，她从未抛弃过我。是她的忠诚和爱伴着我度过了无数个黑暗的日子。当别的十九岁的女孩子参加舞会、享受生活的时候，沙伦把青春献给了病床上的我，等待我的康复。对我来说，这就是爱的真谛。在那个美满的婚礼之后，我继续在止痛中心做着兼职的工作，并获得了我的硕士学位。我们非常的幸福，而沙伦怀孕的消息更让我们恩爱有加。

on july 11, 1990 at 12:15 a.m. sharon woke me with the news: "we need to go to the hospital… my water just broke." i couldnt help but think how ironic it was that my life almost ended in a convenience store and now on the date "7-11" we were about to bring a new life into this world. this time it was my turn to help sharon as she had helped me over those past years. she was in labor for 15 hours. at 3:10 p.m. sharon and i experienced the birth of our beautiful daughter, shawn elyse segal! tears of joy and happiness came to my eyes as our healthy, alert, wonderful daughter entered this world. we anxiously counted her 10 fingers and her 10 toes and watched her wide eyes take in the world about her. it was truly a beautiful picture that was etched in my mind forever as she lie in her mothers waiting arms, just minutes after her birth. at that moment i thanked god for blessing us with the greatest miracle of all-shawn elyse segal.

1990年7月11日12点15分，沙伦把我从梦中唤醒：“我们得去医院了……我羊水破了。”我忍不住想命运真让人啼笑皆非，它几乎让我在那家便利店里丢了性命，而在一个命名为“7·11”的日子里它却让我迎来新生命的出世。多年来沙伦帮我度过了一次又一次难关，这次该我来帮助她了。沙伦经历了15个小时的分娩。在3点10分的时候，沙伦和我一起迎来了我们美丽的女儿——萧恩·艾丽斯·斯高。当我看到美丽的女儿健康地来到这个世上，喜悦和幸福化作泪水夺眶而出。我们迫不及待地数着她的十个手指和十只脚趾，看着她大大的眼睛注视着她的世界。初生的婴儿躺在妈妈柔软的怀里如一副优美的图画将永驻我的心中。那一刻，我感谢上帝赐予我们如此最伟大的奇迹——我的萧恩·艾丽斯·斯高。

There is an old man who lives next to my door. He lives alone, and

sometimes his children will come to visit him. When we asked him why he didnt

move to live with his children, he said he didnt want to interrupt them,

because of the different lifestyle. The man likes to sit in front of the shop,

where people communicate there every day. He is very talkative and likes to

offer help. Once he helped a woman to carry heavy food home. Besides, if people

asked him for information, he knew everything. People loved him and got used to

seeing him every day. I like to talk to this man, he is smart and can give me

some wise opinion. He is definitely a good people and we are willing to ask him

to have dinner with us.

My home town is a beautiful place. It stands beside a wide river and is rich in fish and rice.

我的家乡是一个美丽的地方。它坐落在一条宽阔的河流和丰富的鱼和米饭。

But in the old days it was a poor and backward little town. Many people had no work. They lived a hard life.

但是在过去它是一个贫穷落后的小城镇。很多人没有工作。他们过着艰苦的生活。

In 1949 my hometown was liberated. Since then great changes have taken place there. The streets have been widened. Factories, schools, hospitals, cinemas and theatres have sprung up one after another. The life of the people is greatly improved.

1949我的家乡解放。自那时以来发生了巨大的变化。街道已拓宽。工厂，学校，医院，电影院和剧院如雨后春笋般涌现出来。人民的生活大大改善。

I love my hometown. All the more I love its people. They are working hard so as to make it still richer and more beautiful.

我爱我的家乡。所有我爱的人。他们正在努力工作以使它更丰富、更美丽。

The ancient said the world is a book and those who do not travel read only

one page. I like travel, because travel not only allows me to enjoy the great

rivers and mountains of the motherland, but also brings me knowledge and

exercise. Beautiful sceneries make me impressed and friendly people make me

warm. Travel is a process of discovery of beauty that would company my whole

life. I like the feeling on the road, which greatly enrich my life and fields of

vision. Being to different places, seeing different views makes me know how big

the world is, so that I won’t bother my trifles. I think a broad mind is

extremely important to a person, and traveling is a good way to get it. Maybe

some people would say that I travel just because I want to relax. There’s no

doubt about that. No matter for what reason, traveling is attractive to us

all.

News, used to be the most dont like to see it. Since the childhood has been like watching cartoon and foam. Now over the years is already 15 years old girl, the adults always said I dont understand, I also often because of his bad temper, or not doing things. "Knowledge too little" finally let me find the dawn, from then on began to like the news.

Compared to the past, only reading does make me understand a lot of knowledge, also became the academic leaders, but its a downright failure in life. While reading can also know society, but after all the writers praise is the truth in life, and that I love watching cartoons, and eulogize justice and goodness, degeneration and reject evil. In such an environment, my heart has been living in the white cloud, so that as the growth of the age, heart is still very naive. But I will contact with the reality of society, the essence of this society is not absolutely fair, not cheated can only let oneself become strong. But when he does not know this, just complain, disposition also become bad. Fortunately, when I was going to despair, when the news took me, no let me into the who also do not know to have bottomless pit.

Know only after watching the news of the worlds largest and I small. The content of the news is very rich, I also have different preferences, from country to country, down to between people. I see from a real case: "some of the good qualities: honesty, integrity, good Samaritan, wisdom... how important it is for this society!

新闻，以前是最不喜欢看的。从小到大一直喜看动画片和泡沫剧。现今过了年已是十五岁的大姑娘了，大人们常说我不懂事，我也常因自己脾气不好，或是不会处理事情而烦恼。一句“见识太少”终于让我找到了曙光，从此便开始喜欢上新闻。

对比以往，只读书确实让我懂了不少知识，也成为了学业上的佼佼者，但在生活上却是一个失败透顶的人。虽然读书也可以认识社会，但毕竟作家们歌颂的都是生活中的真善美，以及那我爱看的动画片，也是讴歌正义和善良，贬低和排斥邪恶势力。在这样的环境影响下，我的心一直生活在洁白无瑕的云端，以至于随着年龄的增长，心确仍然很幼稚。但我终究要与现实的社会接触，这个社会的本质就是没有绝对的公平，要想不吃亏就只能让自己成为强者。可惜当初的自己并不懂得这点，只是一味的抱怨，性格也变得恶劣。幸运的是，当我快要绝望的时候，新闻拉住了我，没有让我滑向那个谁也不知道有没有底的深渊。

在看了新闻后才知道世界之大与我之渺小。新闻的内容很丰富，我的喜好也不尽相同，上到国家与国家之间，下到人与人之间。我从一个个真实的例子中看出：“人的一些美好的品质：诚信、正直、见义勇为、智慧……对于这个社会是多么重要!

Dear miss wang,

i am writing to recommend wang lingyan as the new chairperson of the

students" union. i think she will be an excellent chairperson, because she has

many good personal qualities.

wang lingyan is a confident girl and all the students in our class think

she is really powerful. she has the ability to organize us very well. most of us

admire her for her ability. she is also outgoing. she is never afraid of talking

to the strangers. this is very important, because she will have to speak in

front of the whole school.

wang lingyan is also a clever girl. she always gets good marks in tests.

for example, she got the first in the last math exam, so i think she is clever

enough to come up with good ideals. i also think wang lingyan is organized and

never forgets to do the things she needs to do. she won"t give up things easily

that she decides to do someting.

i think wang lingyan has all the qualities to be a good chairperson. i hope

that you can agree with me.

yours sincerely,

lindy

When I was a naughty boy, may be because of the influence of the film "Xiao

Bing Zhang Ga", my dream was to be a soldier just like Zhang Ga. I thought if I

was a soldier, I should be able to swim, dive and climb trees as he did. It

seemed to be very wonderful. So I began to learn swimming, diving and climbing

trees. I practiced every day and finally I could do them well. But when I

entered junior high school and had the military training. I suddenly found that

being a soldier was very difficult and I wasnt strong enough tobear it. I had

to give my dream up.

But I wasnt discouraged, and I had a new aim, which was to be a postman,

or rather to be a newspaper boy. As a newspaper boy. I could speed along streets

on a bike and throw newspapers onto every porch. Thats also very cool. So I

started learning to ride a bicycle. After the everyday practice, I could go very

fast by bicycle. But to my disappointment, the job which I wanted only existed

in western counties not in China, because there was no porch in China. And

Chinese postmen had to stuff very thick newspapers into very small mailboxes

from very narrow entrances. The job was far from what I had expected. So once

again my dream fell through.
