Ofo is very popular nowadays, which brings great convenience to people. For

foreign media, they even treat Ofo as one of new four inventions in China. I

like to use Ofo so much. I can take exercise and enjoy the scenery. But the news

reported that a lot of Ofos had been destroyed. some were stolen and some were

broken. Ofo is the new industry, which needs to be supported. While some

peoples bad behavior hurts publics interest. I believe that most people will

protect the bikes and they return them on time. It is everybodys duty to

protect the public property. Dont be greedy for the small advantage.

My father, Winston Churchill, began his love affair with painting in his 40s, amid disastrous circumstances. As First Lord of the Admiralty in 1915, he was deeply involved in a campaign in the Dardanelles that could have shortened the course of a bloody world war. But when the mission failed, with great loss of life, Churchill paid the price, both publicly and privately. He was removed from the admiralty and effectively sidelined.

Overwhelmed by the catastrophe — “I thought he would die of grief,” said his wife, Clementine —he retired with his family to Hoe Farm, a country retreat in Surrey. There, as Churchill later recalled, “The muse of painting came to my rescue!”

Wandering in the garden one day, he chanced upon his sister-in-law sketching with watercolors. He watched her for a few minutes, then borrowed her brush and tried his hand. The muse had cast her spell!

Churchill soon decided to experiment with oils. Delighted with this distraction from his dark broodings, Clementine rushed off to buy whatever paints she could find.

For Churchill, however, the next step seemed difficult as he contemplated with unaccustomed nervousness the blameless whiteness of a new canvas. He started with the sky and later described how “very gingerly I mixed a little blue paint on the palette, and then with infinite precaution made a mark about as big as a bean upon the affronted snow-white shield. At that moment the sound of a motor car was heard in the drive. From this chariot stepped the gifted wife of Sir John Lavery .”

“ ‘Painting!’ she declared. ‘But what are you hesitating about? Let me have the brush — the big one.’ Splash into the turpentine, wallop into the blue and the white, frantic flourish on the palette, and then several fierce strokes and slashes of blue on the absolutely cowering canvas.”

At that time, John Lavery— a Churchill neighbor and celebrated painter— was tutoring Churchill in his art. Later, Lavery said of his unusual pupil: “Had he chosen painting instead of statesmanship, I believe he would have been a great master with the brush.”

In painting, Churchill had discovered a companion with whom he was to walk for the greater part of the years that remained to him. After the war, painting would offer deep solace when, in 1921, the death of the mother was followed two months later by the loss of his and Clementine’s beloved three-year-old daughter, Marigold. Battered by grief, Winston took refuge at the home of friends in Scotland, finding comfort in his painting. He wrote to Clementine: “I went out and painted a beautiful river in the afternoon light with crimson and golden hills in the background. Alas I keep feeling the hurt of the Duckadilly (Marigold’s pet name).”

Historians have called the decade after 1929, when the Conservative government fell and Winston was out of office, his wilderness years. Politically he may have been wandering in barren places, a lonely fighter trying to awaken Britain to the menace of Hitler, but artistically that wilderness bore abundant fruit. During these years he often painted in the South of France. Of the 500-odd canvases extant, roughly 250 date from 1930 to 1939.

Painting remained a joy to Churchill to the end of his life. “Happy are the painters,” he had written in his book Painting as a Pastime, “ for they shall not be lonely. Light and color, peace and hope, will keep them company to the end of the day.” And so it was for my father.

我的父亲，温斯顿·丘吉尔，在他四十多岁时开始迷恋上绘画，当时环境异常恶劣。那是在1915年，任海军大臣的他，积极投身于在达达尼尔海峡的一场战役中，这场战役本可以缩短那段血雨腥风的世界大战。但由于遭受失败，伤亡惨重，丘吉尔于公于私都付出了代价。他被从海军部调离且实则坐起了冷板凳。

在灾难的折磨下——他的妻子克莱门廷说：“我想他会痛苦而死，”——他携家带口来到萨利郡的一处乡间静居霍·华姆。在那儿，丘吉尔后来回忆道，“是绘画中的冥思拯救了我！”

一天他在花园散步时，偶然看到他的弟媳在用水彩作画。他观察了几分钟，然后向她借了画笔并一试身手。他的专注仿佛给他施了魔法！

丘吉尔很快就决定试试去画油画。看到他从阴暗的忧郁思中解脱出来，克莱门廷非常开心，她赶忙去买所有能买到的颜料。

然而，迈出下一步似乎有些困难，因为丘吉尔看到一块新画布的洁白无暇时感到无所适从和为难。他先从天空画起，后来他描述如何“非常谨慎地在调色板上加入一点儿蓝色调，然后以万分的小心，在这块被蓄意冒犯的雪白的防护板上点上豌豆大的一笔。这时，传来一阵驾驶机动车的马达声。约翰·拉威利先生才华出众的太太从这辆车中姗然而下。

“‘在画画呀！’她高声说着。‘可你还在犹豫什么呢？给我那支笔——那支头号的。’只见松油飞溅，她在蓝白颜料间挥毫泼墨，在调色板上龙飞凤舞，接着在吓得发皱的油画布上用力东戳西捣几下蓝色。”

那时，约翰·拉威利——丘吉尔的邻居，也是一位有名的画家—正教丘吉尔学画。后来提及他的这位特殊的学生，拉威利说：“倘若他选择绘画而不是从政，我相信他会是位绘画大师的。”

在绘画中，丘吉尔找到了能陪他度过余生大部分时光的知已。战后，在1921年，母亲刚去世两个月，他和克莱门廷就失去了他们深爱着的三岁女儿玛丽戈尔德，这时作画给了他一些安慰。在痛苦的打击下，温斯顿来到苏格兰朋友们的家中以求得安慰，用绘画来解脱自己。他在给克莱门廷的信中说：“我出外画了一条夕阳下美丽的溪流，背后映衬着晚霞的群山。唉，达克迪莉（玛丽戈尔德的昵称）使我的苦痛总是挥之不去。

史学家把1929年后的十年，也就是保守党政府垮台而温斯顿下台的时间，称为他的荒凉岁月。政治上，他一直在举步维艰的处境中徘徊，是一个孤独的勇士在努力唤起受到希特勒威胁的国人，但在艺术上他在那荒凉岁月却硕果累累。这些年他经常在法国南部作画。在现存的500多张油画中，大约250张是1930至1939年间的作品。

绘画给丘吉尔带来了乐趣直到他的人生尽头。在他所著的《画中的消遣》里说：“画家其乐融融，因为他们不会孤独。光与色，和平与希望，会始终伴随他们。”我父亲就是这样一个人。

[温斯顿·丘吉尔:生活侧记-名人传记英文故事

Today, I want to do something for my mother, but what do you do? I thought and thought - finally, I came up with a good idea. Clean up your home before mom comes back.

After the idea was made, I started to get busy at home. I picked up the broom first and began to sweep the floor. In a moment, the floor was swept clean by me! Next, Im going to wipe the table, wet the towel first, then wring it hard, and start rubbing it back and forth on the table. After my efforts, the table was shimmered by me.

At this time, my mother came back, she saw my sweat, I knew everything, he said I was a good child!

生活是一场瑰丽的冒险，乘上大巴，来一场说走就走的旅行；生活，又是一曲悠扬的乐章，仔细聆听，梦境与现实合为一体；生活，还是一串轻盈的脚步，继续探究，厦门科技馆已呈现在眼前。

作为第二小组的组长，我必须紧紧地看着我队中的几个“调皮鬼”，就连记者姐姐让我们在二楼自由体验，我都要抓着他们才放心。

不知不觉中，我们来到“磁电大舞台”，望着从未谋面的全新设备，我有些小小的兴奋。主持人邀请了一位长发女观众，请她体验第一个项目。随着磁电的增加，那位观众的长发缓缓向上延伸，真是妙不可言。第二个体验项目是像秋千一样的摇椅，一个大胆的小男孩举手上台。看着磁球与摇椅迸发出的火花，我们都惊叫连连。而在随后进行的高压电表演中，我们看到了电的真正原形。更奇特的是，闪电会随着音乐节奏的变化而变化，十分有趣。

“磁电表演”结束了，我们马不停蹄地来到5D电影院。系好安全带，带上5D眼镜，短片随即开始。刚开始是一个蓝色星球破碎了，碎片朝我们飞扑而来，我想躲都躲不掉，真是欲哭无泪。更可怕的还在后面！一大群老鼠和蜘蛛朝我们涌来，许多胆小的同学都吓懵了，我也不例外。接着便是“红色灾难”——火灾来了。看着一大群人都在逃亡，我甩了甩汗，劫后余生的感觉实在太刺激了。随着海啸的结束，短片也就此落幕。

回程的车上，望着渐行渐远的厦门科技馆，我感慨万分。在这趟短暂的旅行中，我学到了不少科学知识。科技，真是个奇妙的东西。

要让你说出厦门的味道，你的味蕾会回味什麽呢？是传统沙茶面的浓浓沙茶香，还是弹滑爽口的土笋冻？是小巷里的某一道特色菜，还是精细雕琢的私房菜？不管是门庭若市的鼓浪屿上的小店，还是中山路上永远人满为患的传统老店，你不得不相信，厦门是绝对的美食天堂。

恋恋古早味

「全世界独此一家」，「我最怀念的味道」，「记忆中的味道」，「童年的记忆」这是对厦门地道古早味最常见的评论。在老街巷里，古早味飘香，这些美食也早已超出了原本的内涵，成为了思乡恋家、怀念儿时的感情寄托，还有品嚐美食的人深深的敬畏之情，更是烹制美食的人背后浓浓的心意。

这些古早味也是不少游客对於厦门的印象。一直以来，厦门极富生活化的气息，让游客魂牵梦萦。也正是这种慢悠悠的生活气息，才孕育了厦门如此多的百年老店。在厦门机场拿一份免费的手绘地图，厦门各大老字号一目了然。厦门有很多像黄胜记、南普陀这样的百年老店，带着最朴素的「诚信经营」的理念慢悠悠地成长在极富生活气息的厦门。它们的存在，极富魅力，也让厦门散发着一种与众不同的气质。

至尊私房菜

对於古早味的眷恋，也让不少古早味有了新花样。在厦门的各大商场里，各种私房菜馆林立，在各具特色的私房菜馆里都能找到些许厦门古早味的影子。随着各地美食的互通互融，厦门的新潮美食也毫不示弱地挑战着吃货们的味蕾。

属於慢生活的厦门，自然也有属於自己风格的私房菜。私房菜是有心的菜，所谓「私房菜」，也是私心房中做出的菜。私房菜，最宜知己少许，在清幽的小室中慢慢品嚐。「私房」也，隐私之房室，也许是某人之家，如某某将相家传的家宴之所，或一屋一室的料亭、茶屋、山房都是私房菜精灵出没之所。私房菜，从个人的心房到一己的密室，创造出存心有味的料理，这样的料理，不仅料理了人们的胃肠，也料理了人们的心灵。

Last weekend i went to the park with my friends.We went there by bus on saturday ,The weather was sunny ,When we arrived there,we saw many kinds of flowers ,they are so beautiful,There were many people ,some kids played football,some girls flyed the kites,and some old people played chess,we sang and danced there,In the afternoon we played some games ,when we got home we felt tired ,but happy.

上周末我和我的朋友去公园。我们在星期六乘坐巴士去那里，天气晴朗，我们到那里时，我们看到了各种各样的花，它们是如此的美丽，有许多人，一些孩子在踢足球，一些女孩飞的风筝，和一些老年人下棋，我们唱歌跳舞，在下午，我们玩了一些游戏，当我们回到家时，我们感到很累，但很高兴。

假期的时候，我和妈妈一起游览了景色迷人的厦门。

那一天清晨，天蒙蒙亮，我家就已经做了充分的准备，在上车的那一刻，我的心情高兴得无法形容。一路上高楼大厦琳琅满目，汽车川流不息，一幅繁荣昌盛的景象，展现在我的眼前。经过长途跋涉，我们来到了路上的一个博物馆。

刚进门，就看到了许多清朝时期用的战斗工具，比如大炮、大刀、弓、盾……。这时候，我发现了一座雕像，哦！原来是人民英雄郑成功，他的神情严肃，似乎在望着远方，眼里还流露出希望。

我们继续行走走终于到了厦门。吃完饭，我就要去玩了，可是走到半路我要小便，于是，妈妈哪一些钱我去公共厕所，可是我却不懂说普通话，只好傻傻的站着，那个人就像知道了我的心思，接过钱那我去小便。通过这件事我明白了，我明白了我们一定要有充足的知识，这样才能和别人交流。

科技馆到了，里面摆设了许许多多的先进武器，还有战斗机，非常多大的喇叭，这让我的知识又增长了不少，科技馆的下面便是一片一望无际的大海，遥望过去，真是太美了，简直是画家画的。

今天的游玩这是太有趣了。

When I first saw this movie I didnt appreciate it like I do now. Because I was so young that I didnt get the main idea when I first saw it. Just recently I saw the movie again. What an amazing and moving story. That movie teaches you so much about life and the meaning of it. That life isnt as bad as most people feel. Forrest Gump, the innocent man can impact so many lives with his innocence. The meaning of the movie to me is that everyone needs to have a better outlook on life. That we need to appreciate more of the little things and not let the big things hold us back. Although life may throw us trials and tribulations like a box of chocolates, we just have to bite into it and get through it even if we dont like it. I just love this movie. And anyone who hasnt seen it or who thinks that dont like it I seriously suggest seeing it or seeing it again. It truly is amazing…

天高云淡的天气，我和哥哥正准备去南普陀。

到了南普陀，在大门口人潮涌动像汽车一样，来来往往，川流不息。走进去一看，那一大片一大片的荷花亭像一大片绿油油的碧毯。为什么荷花亭要加上双引号呢?因为呀那荷花亭都是一大片一大片的绿叶，根本没在一朵亭亭玉立的荷花，也真奇怪。

接着我们来到一片湖水处---放生池,(放生池是许多佛寺中都有的一个设施。一般为人工开凿的池塘，为体现佛教慈悲为怀

，体念众生的心怀，让信徒将各种水生动物放养在这里)。从上面望下去，里面住着大只乌龟，说这个大乌龟，既大又重，肯定能卖个好价钱。一只如果重2斤，那么5只呢呀!真是的，怎么把话题扯远了!回到正题。你看你看一只大乌龟背着一只小乌龟，在水中自由自在地游着。

然后我们到了鸽子亭，亭子上有好几座观音菩萨，许多人拿着玉米去喂鸽子，鸽子一直发出咕、咕、咕的响声。好像在说：同伴们，快过来，这儿有好吃的。

最后我们还去庙里拜拜，拜完之后，我们去爬山。爬到一半，我们就喘得上气不接下气，累得半死，哥哥语重心长地说：妹妹呀，你要减肥了，多运动。我想：哼!真是的，干吗那么大声呀。揭人家的伤疤。

我努力地爬着，终于到了山顶，从高处望过去，啊!太漂亮了，一片片绿绿的树林，一幢幢高楼大厦，一片片深蓝的海，啊，啊，远处那不是郑成功雕像吗?我们在山上看了一会，又欣赏了一路上拍下的照片

啊，厦门的风景真漂亮。再见再见了，那美丽的南普陀。

Its the third Sunday in June again, and its the holiday Ive been looking

forward to for a long time - Fathers Day.

"Mom, what do you want to give grandpa?" I asked my mother, resting my chin

on my hand. After thinking for a moment, Mom said, "Fruit basket!" "Mom, help me

think about what should I give Dad?" "Lets go to the boutique and have a

look."

So, we went to the boutique, and we picked left and right, carefully

selected, and we all felt that these gifts were not very good. "Ah, Dad is a

dog, so give him a puppy!" I suddenly had such an idea.

We walked over to the plastic and found a lifelike puppy which was very

interesting. Furry hair, piercing eyes, and a smiling face make people like him

more and more. I thought to myself: This puppy is cute, thats all.

I bought it, asked the waiter to pack it, and went home happily. When I got

home, I wrote a blessing on a piece of paper and put it by the bed with the

gift.

I discussed it with my mother and came up with a terrifying plan: We hid in

the place where Dad must pass when he entered the room, and when Dad came in, we

would scare him. So we quickly hid. "Dong dong dong..." "Dad is here!" Grandma

stepped forward to open the door, when Dad walked past us. "Wow," we jumped out.

"Ah, scared me to death!" Dad was shaking. A dignified man was frightened by

us, haha! "Mum sneered at Dad.

When Dad walked into the room and found the gift, his eyes were wide open,

and he couldnt help holding me around the living room a few times.

I will never forget this Fathers Day.

The Cobbler and the Banker

By La Fontaine

A cobbler passed his time in singing from morning till night;it was wonderful to see,wonderful to hear him;he was more contented in shoes,than was any of the seven sages.His neighbor,on the contrary,who was rolling in wealth,sung but little and slept less.He was a banker;when by chance he fell into a doze at day-break,the cobbler 12 awoke him with his song.The banker complained sadly that Providence had not made sleep a saleable commodity,like edibles or drinkables.

Having at length sent for the songster,he said to him,

"How much a year do you earn,Master Gregory?"

"How much a year,sir?"said the merry cobbler laughing,"I have reckon in that way,living as I do from one day to another;somehow I manage to reach the end of the year;each day brings its meal."

"Well then!How much a day do you earn,my friend?"

"Sometimes more,sometimes less;but the worst of it is,-and,without that our earnings would be very tolerable, a number of days occur in the year on which we are forbidden to work;and the curate,moreover,is constantly adding some new saint to the list.

The banker,laughing at his simplicity,said,"In the future I shall place you above want.Take this hundred crowns,preserve them carefully,and make use of them in time of need."

The cobbler fancied he beheld all the wealth which the earth had produced in the past century for the use of mankind.Returning home,he buried his money and his happiness at the same time,No more singin;he lost his voice,the moment he acquired that which is the source of so much grief.Sleep quitted his dwelling; and cares,suspicions,and false alarms took its place,All day,his eye wandered in the direction of his treasure;and at night,if some stray cat made a noise,the cat was robbing him.

At length the poor man ran to the house of his rich neighbor;"Give my back." said he,"sleep and my voice,and take your hundred crowns."

皮匠和银行家

拉.封丹

一个皮匠从早到晚在唱歌中度过。无论见到他本人或听见他的歌声都使人觉得很愉快。他对于制鞋工作比当上了希腊七圣还要满足。

于工作把他吵醒了。银行家郁郁寡欢地抱怨上帝没有睡眠也制成一种像食品或饮料那样可以买卖的商品。后来，银行家就叫人把这位 歌手请来，问道：“格列戈里师傅，你一年赚多少钱?”

“先生，你问我一年赚多少钱吗?”快乐的皮匠笑道：“我从来不算这笔帐，我是一天一天地过日子，总而言之坚持到年底，每天挣足三餐。”

“啊，朋友，那么你一天赚多少钱呢?”

“有时多一点，有时少一点;不过最糟糕的是一年中总有些日子不准我们做买卖，牧师又常常在圣徒名单上添新名字，否则我们的收入也还算不错的。”

银行家被皮匠的直率逗笑了，他说：“我要你从今以后不愁没钱用。这一百枚钱你拿去，小心放好，需要时拿来用吧。” 皮匠觉自己好像看到了过去几百年来大地为人类所需而制造出来的全部财富。他回到家中，埋藏好硬币，同时也埋葬了他的快乐。他不再唱歌了;从他得到这种痛苦的根源那一刻起，他的嗓子就哑了。睡眠与他分手;取而代之的却是担心、怀疑、虚惊。白天，他的 目光尽朝埋藏硬币的方向望;夜间，如果有只迷途的猫弄出一点声响，他就以为是有人来抢他的钱。最后，这个可怜的皮匠跑到他那富有的邻居家里说：“把你的一百枚钱拿回去，还我的睡眠和歌声来。”

鼓浪屿素有“万国建筑博览”之称。的确，我看到了各式各样的建筑风格的建筑，有罗马式的圆柱，有哥特式的尖顶，还有伊斯兰的圆顶，让人目不暇接。因为战争后许多國家在这里建了领事馆，所以才有这么多西式的房子。虽然这些房子已经很旧了，但是还是很漂亮。

鼓浪屿还有“钢琴之岛”的美称，因为岛上出了很多音乐人才。于是我们去了珍贵的钢琴博物馆，那里有没有脚踏板的钢琴，有黑白键相反的钢琴，还有宽4米高2米的钢琴。这些钢琴都有上百年的历史了呢！看上去就像古董一样，那些精美的花纹，那些高贵的颜色，都是我从来没看到过的。

鼓浪屿的风光更宜人，吸引了五湖四海的游客。蓝天、碧海、沙滩、新鲜的空气、哗啦啦的波浪声、凉爽的海风，真是让人陶醉。菽庄花園就是美景之一，它依海而建，藏海于園，小桥、流水、亭子……我想，这个花園的主人真厉害，能把大海变成私人财产，鼓浪屿上的居民真幸福，能天天看到海！

鼓浪屿还有很多让人流连忘返的名胜古迹，如四十四桥、十二洞天……建议大家也去玩玩哦！

[中学生英文作文：我的快乐周末(My happy weekend)

太阳要落山了，我和妈妈、舅妈姐姐从方特公园走出来，我和姐姐谈论自己认为好玩和好看的地方，妈妈和舅妈也说出了自己的感受。

早上，我们一行人来到了方特公园，先到了“太空山”，当走进时光遂道，外层的圆筒就开始呼呼滚动起来，使脑袋也跟着天旋地转的，进入“满天星空”，里面一片黑暗，只有无数的小星星在天空眨着眼睛，这时我仿佛进了一片星空，又感觉有人在移动，于是我仔细一看，原来是地板反照的人影，真有趣。

来到坐航天飞船的地方，打开舱门进入机舱，航空之旅开始了，在飞离陨石，脱离危险不过短短的几分钟，却其乐无穷。我们还去了“恐龙危机”，那儿的人可真多，排个队都要三十分钟，终于轮到我们了，拿了立体眼镜，坐在“防爆列车”里面出发了，一开始一只恐龙的身影出现在窗户后面，突然列车一个360度大转弯，我被旋得分不清方向了，这时，车子把我们转到一个大屏幕，上边突然跳出几只美洲龙，对着我看了几眼，最后它们终于长鸣一声反身离去，这时，高峰时刻到了，我们的列车飞到了摩天大楼一下子又直倒栽下去。吓了我一身冷汗。

虽然这是我第二次来到方特公园，但每一次的感受是不一样的哟！不信，你也去试一试吧！
