高二下学期期末考英语作文(精品20篇)

There are various kinds of jobs in the world, such as writing, nursing, teaching and engineering. But different people choose different jobs as their ideal careers. This is because everyone has his own interest.

As for me, I have made up my mind to be a teacher. I choose to do so mainly for three reasons. First, I want to teach because I like the pace of academic calendar. Two long vacations offer me an opportunity for reflection, research and writing. Secondly, I want to teach because I like the freedom to make my own mistakes, to learn my own lesson, to stimulate myself and my students. And I can have the opportunity to keep on learning. Finally, I want to teach because, being around the students who are beginning to grow and change in front of me, I will grow and change with them too.

But teaching is no easy job at all. I must study cleverly to obtain more knowledge. And, at the same time, I will make every effort to purify my soul so that I can become an architect of mans soul.

[高二关于理想英语作文

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.

Why do we study English, because English is the international language with the same.

When we talk about the business with foreigners, I only use English to communicate, so English is very important. If we want to understand the western culture when, must use English to understand their culture and history.

What how can we learn English well: 1, first to develop interest in English study (we can see English film from listening to English song, to find the learning interest in English). 2, English class listen carefully, as far as possible to answer the teacher#39;s questions in English, use English to communicate with classmates. 3, you can listen to English tapes of radio and television programs to imitate the pronunciation of english.

This is a good method for us to learn English well.

In addition to these methods, we can from the English books and other more effective way of learning english.

在这一则报导中，我学到很多事，但我第一个想到的是，造成地球变暖的原因是二氧化碳增加。

In this paper, I have learned a lot of things, but I think the first one is the cause of global warming, the increase of carbon dioxide.

为什么二氧化碳会增加呢?我想到的原因是人们常常开车、养食家畜、工厂大量排放黑烟……等。不过这些是大家可以一起解决，说不定可以改善地球继续暖化，例如：目的地很近的话可以骑自行车;目的地很远的话，可以搭乘公共交通运输工具;家畜的排泄物经过处理再排入河内;工厂可以建一座废弃处理厂……等。

Why carbon dioxide will increase? I think the reason is often drive, raising livestock, food factory emissions of smoke...... Etc.. But these are all can solve them together, it can improve the Earth continues to warm, for example: the destination is close enough to ride a bike; destination long enough, can take the public transport; waste livestock treated and then discharged into the Hanoi factory; to build a waste treatment plant...... Etc..

请大家不要小看二氧化碳的威力，等到海平面上升、都市浸水和农地淹没，到最后就会面临粮食不足的危机了。请大家跟我一起喊：“停止伤害地球的行为吧!我们居住的地球只有一个。”

Please do not underestimate the power of carbon dioxide, when the sea level rise, urban water and farmland submerged, eventually facing food shortage. Please call with me: "stop the harm to the earths behavior! Only one earth on which we live. "

篇一：Work and Happiness

Happiness is dependent upon work. Sometimes we complain that we have too much work, but we fail to realize that it’s our work that keep us moving on and helps us to become a better man. Last summer I visited my friends in a small village. It was obvious that working has become an indispensable part of their daily lives. They all went to the field to plant the crops. The sun was shinning above them and they looked quite happiness about their work. On their face there were such smiles as I had never seen before.

Work provide us with happiness. Work is more than a necessity for human beings. If we have no work to do, we will waste our precious time. That’s pity. We will lose everything in the end. Work helps us to realize the importance of life, then we will appreciate it more. Everybody who live in this society could not live without working. If we spend every day idly, we will find life is boring.

幸福建立在工作之上。有时候我们抱怨我们有太多的工作要做，却忽略了工作可以让人不断进步，从而成为一个更好的人。上个暑假我去一个小村庄拜访了我的朋友。显而易见，工作已经成为了他们不可缺的一部分。他们全都到地里面种庄稼。太阳当空照，他们看起来对自己的工作非常是满意。对人类来说，工作不仅仅是种必需品。如果我们没有工作，那么，时间就会白白浪费掉。真真是可惜。最后，我们会失去所有的东西。工作帮助人们意识到生活的重要性，让我们更加珍惜。每个生活在社会中的人都必须工作，免得就不能生存下去。如果每天都无所事事，那么，我们会发现生活非常无趣。

篇二：football 足球

Football is the most popular ball in the world. More and more people like watching football matches. They can’t sleep or eat when their teams are playing.They shout for their players. I think many Chinese football player have done better match after match since the Professional Football league of China was set up. But we still have a long way to go to Asia and to the world. We should learn from foreign teams. Foreign players and coaches must be invited. Dalian Wanda, Shanghai Shenhua and Guangd0ng Apollo are among the best.

足球是世界上最流行的球类运动。现在越来越多韵人喜欢看足球比赛，当他们的球队参加比赛的时候，他们可以废寝忘食地为他们的队员加油。我认为自从中国足协建立以来，许多中国足球的比赛踢得一场比一场好了。但是我们的足球要冲出亚洲、奔向世界还有非常长的路要走。我们应该向国外的球队学习，邀请一些外国的运动员和教练到我们中间来。大连万达、上海申花、广东太阳神都是最出色的球队。

篇三：True Beauty

Everyone is attracted by beauty and beauty is powerful. But what is true beauty? Perhaps you can get the answer from the following story.

This morning I went to the market to buy some vegetables with my parents. On the way we all highly praised a young man in western-style clothes and leather shoes who was riding by. But he rode so fast that he knocked an old lady down carelessly.Instead of stopping, he pretended not to see this and rode away quickly. We were all very angry with the young man. To our happiness, a girl in plain dress ran forward at once, helped the lady up and took her home. We all praised the girl.

From this we know we cannot judge a person by his appearance. A person who is dressed beautifully may not have a beautiful soul. Only a person who has a beautiful soul is really beautiful

每个人都会被美所吸引,荚有强大的力量。但什么是真正的美呢?或许你可以从下面的故事得到答案。

今天早上我去市场买些蔬菜和我的父母。在路上我们都高度赞扬一个年轻人他骑在西式的衣服和皮鞋。但是他骑得太快了,不小心把一位老太太撞倒。他没有阻止,而是假装没有看到飞快地骑走了。我们都非常生气的年轻人。我们的幸福,一个女孩穿着朴素立刻跑过来,帮助这位女士,带她回家。我们都赞扬了女孩。

从这我们知道我们不能通过外表来判断一个人。一个人可以没有美丽的心灵是打扮得漂漂亮亮。”只有一个人有一个美丽的灵魂真漂亮

I will graduate next year, now I start to worry about my future, I don’t

know what kind of job I should work on, I see the job hunting information from

the Internet, I don’t know whether I should take the chance. My teacher told me

that I need to take every chance, so that I will find what I want.

Graduate season is a sad and busy season. After four years’ study, it is

time to say goodbye to your classmates, the building of the deep relationship

makes it hard to say goodbye. At the same time, finding a job is the most

important thing for students, because they need to find their places in the

society. As there are many opportunities for graduate students, they always

don’t know how to do.

I have learned that I should take every chance when they job offer comes,

even though I need to go to a far place to get the interview and there will be

some money that I need to spend. But I will learn many things and become more

competitive.

When the opportunity comes, I will take no hesitation to seize it.

The summer holidayis end and the new term begins. In the new term, I am a student of grade six. Itsthe last year in primary school. In order to have a good ending, I must workharder. So my scores can be better. Besides, I want to spend more time with myclassmates and friends. We have been very good these years. Maybe we cant beclassmates in the future. But, I am still happy that its the last year inprimary school and I am going to junior school.

暑假结束了，新的学期一开始了。新学期我就是一名六年级的学生了。这是小学的最后一年。为了有一个好的结果，我必须更加努力，这样我的分数才会更高。除此之外，我想花更多的时间和同学朋友一起。这些年我们一直很好。也许将来我们不能够成为同班同学，但是我仍然很高兴这是小学的最后一年了，我就要上初中了。

一、试卷特点：

本次试卷的命题紧扣了教学大纲和教科书的书本知识,在考察学生英语基础知识的前提下，注重了对学生语言综合能力和知识迁移的考察,注重语言环境及文化背景的设置，减少了词汇、语法等单纯知识性的试题，增加了试题的灵活性、开放性、探究性及综合性。试题以听、读、写的形式，全面地检查了学生应掌握的英语基础知识和基本能力,考题不是很难。

二、学生对各题得分情况分析：

1.听力部分：

此题考察学生是否能正确理解所听的内容，并具备用英语进行释义的能力，用英语回答问题的能力，在特定的语境中进行交际的能力。听力部分共a.b.c.d小节,设计由浅入深,由易到难,循序渐进,从知识到能力,具有一定的梯度。a部分为理解，1-5小题看图听句子，十分简单，学生只要听懂个别单词就能回答出来;b部分为反应：6-10小题根据所听到的句子，从a，b，c三个选项中选出最佳答案。这部分与前部分相对难一点，即要求学生听懂句子的内容又要求选出答案。c部分为对话理解，听对话根据问题选出答案，这部分简单。d部分为笔录要点：根据你所听到的的内容，填写下面的表格。这部分为整个听力的难点。即要听懂句子又要能写单词。总之就整个听力部分而言，略显简单，对于基础较好的学生来说，此套听力题略显简单，小部分都是满分大部分都在18分以上，他们对听力题中侧重的词组及一些英语成语已做到熟练掌握的程度，完全达到了英语教学中对听力的要求。对有一定英语基础，但掌握不扎实的学生来说，听力还存在薄弱的环节，尤其在b部分，c部分和d部 分，句子的理解和写单词对这类学生来说，仍然是个难点，缺乏对整个话题、文章的理解，单词记得不牢，语音、语调、连读、弱读方面还缺乏一定的训练。另外学 生除了对听力的训练不够，答题的方法和技巧也掌握的不是很好。对于英语学习吃力的学生来说，听力是相当难的，成绩也很不理想。

2.笔试部分的单选题：

基础知识题占三分之二，能力题占三分之一左右。此题注重考察词的辨析、语法以及习语等语言知识，在特定的语境中运用语言知识进行交际能力。此题知识覆盖面较广,重点,难点比较突出.注重了语言能力考察,以考察动词为主,兼顾其它词类,并考察句法,考察方式突出了语境.学生在27，31,34小题失分较多，对于人称代词主格和宾格的用法;like后接动词的ing形式的用法;以及let’s的用法都掌握不够。

3.笔试中的完形填空题部分:

紧扣课本中的课文,基本上只要读懂课文就能选出正确的答案，里面包含了介词at和of,以及人称代词的用法,这都是本学期的重点和难点.学生的失分较多.而且向来完形填空就是试卷中的一个较难点。

4.笔试中的阅读理解:

此题考察学生是否具备根据上下文猜测词意进行推理等思维活动，识别选择归纳所提供的信息，探索语篇中的表层含义和深层含义的阅读能力，从而达到获得正确的语言信息的目的。本大题包括a,b,c,d部分,安排的比较合理,由易及难.a部分为三段段文,情节清晰,学生得分较高.b部分为摘录要点和回答问题.摘录要点很简单从文中找出相对的答案，而回答问题就难了既要看懂课文还要有扎实的英语基础回答写出正确的答案.此部分也是一个拉分的部分.整个阅读理解难度不大40%的学生满分，50%的学生20分以上，10%的学生10分以下。

5.笔试中的书面表达:

主要考查学生调查以怎样的方式上?学生写的时候不觉的费力. 但个别同学在语言的灵活应用上欠功夫，不能够把书上的语言恰当的运用到自己的作文中去,且中式英语较重, 语言表达不地道,语法错误较多。这说明学生在日常写作教学中我们还存在着问题，没能在很好的驾御教材的同时注重学生能力的培养。

四、学情分析

总的来说，这次考试成绩不是很理想，优秀率偏低，尖子生还没有发挥水平;低分较多，两极分化的距离还没有缩少。通过整体的分析，反映了学生在复习中，基本上 能领会课堂的要点要求，一些知识点在堂上反复出现的，掌握得较牢固，但是运用这些知识去解决实际问题的能力较差，这与课后的练习有关，说明了部分学生对课 后的练习作业不够重视、缺乏主动性，而且，解题的依赖性强，缺乏独立的思考能力，另外，对于一些相关的语法知识和句子的构成，学生的遗忘率也很高。还有一 个也是最关键的一点就是普遍的学生学习习惯不好，及少的同学能聚精会神的听课，认真完成作业的.

五、今后的教学中应改进的措施。 通过期末这套试卷的分析，我们教师在以后的教学中，应该在以下几外方面进行改进。

1.加强词汇教学,尤其是书中的黑体字部分，一定要学生保证过关。

2.充分利用课本中的听力部分，加强学生的听力技巧训练，善于捕捉听力中的信息，培养学生猜测的能力。

3.尽多的背诵课文，加强语感，有助于学生听力和写作的提高。

4.加强阅读训练，督促学生每天阅读二至三个语段，提高学生的阅读能力。

5.授课时教师要适当渗透语法教学，让学生能够用英语中的语法修改自己做题中的失误，进行知识的迁移和创新能力的培养。

6.班级学生两极分化明显,各班的低下率都在上升,所以教师在教学中要有效地抑制两极分化,对学习有困难的学生进行转化提高.

7.一定要把“抓好学生的学习习惯”放在一切工作的首位，只要习惯好，成绩就自然而燃提高了.

Freedom in my Dream As the whole world has its boundaries, limits and

freedom coexist in our life. I don’t expect complete freedom, which is

impossible. I simply have a dream that supports my life.I dream that one day, I

could escape from the deep sea of thick schoolbooks and lead my own life. With

my favorite fictions, I lie freely on the green grass, smelling the spring,

listening to the wind singing, breathing the fresh and cool air and dissolve my

soul in nature at last. Simple and short enjoyment can bring me great

satisfaction.I dream that one day the adults could throw their prejudice of

comic and cartoon away. They could keep a lovely heart that can share sorrow and

happiness with us while watching cartoon or doing personal things. That’s the

real communication of heart to heart. I have the belief that my dreams should

come true. I am looking forward to some day coming when I am like a proud eagle,

which flies to the blue and vast sky.

成绩已成为历史，而我面对这样的“历史”心中已是愧疚万分。转念一想后悔已晚，何不分析其因，对症下药，使自己重拾信心，去迎接下一轮的测试呢？

态度决定一切，这次成绩的失利，与我对学习松松垮垮的态度密不可分。和才上初中时的我相比，简直是天壤之别。在很多方面上如发言的次数，作业的质量，背书的积极性等方面都有很大的消退。不过万老师很快便发现了我的问题。在一次早自习中，看见我心不在焉，东张西望便来抽查我的单词，结果问题层出不穷，默写一关也是应付。对此万老师非常生气，决定对我进行家访。同时对我下一次大考的成绩的进行了预测。我的目标和这次的预测相差了三四十个名次。那么万老师这样推测的依据是什么呢？

其实，这推测的依据非常简单，单从我对待学习的松松垮垮的态度态度和心不在焉的学习状态就可以得出结论。其次，从我漂浮不定的神态，左顾右盼的动作也可以反映出来。不过这一切只能算作表象，关键一点：从检查我的真实情况来看，事实已定。这也说明我对自己过去的成绩产生了骄傲的心理。因此对待学习的积极性才有了消退。记得刚上初中，我的成绩并不是非常的出类拔萃，但在老师父母的不断教导、鼓励下，我的成绩很快便有了起色。慢慢的，课堂上敢发言了，作业的质量提高了，很多方面包括成绩和以前在小学时的自己相比都有了很大的提高。我不断的努力，奋进。甚至可以说对眼前的每分每秒都不放过，对待学习一丝不苟。不断地拼搏终于换取了硕果，一连几次大考，成绩是稳中有升，从100名后冲进前六十强。我对自己能取得的成绩难以置信，欣喜万分。可在这高兴之余，骄傲自满的心里也在潜滋暗长。因此进入八年级的我，对学习的积极性逐渐消退；态度也是松松垮垮；不能让自己的心真正的沉静下来。导致成绩一路下滑。

经过这次的家访，我深深的认识到了我的错误。如果再这样虚度光阴，自欺欺人，那么害的人终将还会是我自己。所以现在，我要狠狠地下定决心：改！将我这心不在焉，松松垮垮的态度全都板正过来，将从前那个满怀激情，斗志昂扬的自己找回来，让过去的屈辱成为历史，让自己的信心百倍增长，去迎接期末的战斗。

相信我不断努力，肯定会像从前那样取得丰硕的成果。而在今后，不论我取得了多么优异的成绩，也不会像从前那样产生骄傲的心理。让成绩长久的的稳中有升。将学习真正的放在心尖上，并沉静下来，做到不骄不躁。用满怀的斗志去书写新的篇章！

或许只是一瞬间，我突然发觉，外婆真的老了——头发不再乌黑，背也不再挺直。她开始频频忘事，有时妈妈向她询问一些往事，她都记得不大清楚，甚至是完全忘却了。

那是一个很平常的傍晚，外婆正在炒菜，而我则坐在客厅里玩手机游戏。那是我玩的第几盘游戏了?我已经不记得了。外婆几次制止我，我都当作耳旁风。她见我不听她的，索性不再讲，做饭去了。

我有些怀疑和心虚：为何唠叨声突然停止了?难道外婆去给妈妈打电话“控诉”我的“恶行”了?我心里有些害怕，偷偷张望了一下外婆在干什么。

外婆正在厨房里准备炒菜。她在廚房里转了一圈，似乎在寻找什么却并没有找到，她便弯下腰，继续在橱柜里寻找着。可当她想再直起腰来时，很是艰难。

对常人来说，直起腰来非常容易，但对外婆来说，却很艰难。她攥紧了围裙，慢慢地直起了腰，脸上似乎还有汗水流下。她随意地用胳膊擦了擦脸，便开始炒菜，油烟一下子四溢开来。油烟那么浓，外婆却没有开抽油烟机。

“外婆，油烟也太浓了，为什么不开抽油烟机啊?”

“为什么要开啊?能不开就不开，就算是几分钱，也是你爸妈辛辛苦苦挣的啊，哪能随意浪费(7还有啊，孩子，你把你手里的手机放下吧，好歹学习一会儿。”

“知道了。”我继续玩着游戏。

“知道了就赶快放下手机!”外婆走到我的身边，继续说。

“行了，行了，这就结束了。”我头也不抬地回答。

“爸妈养你也不容易，你一定要好好学习啊……”

“怎么这么啰嗦啊?天天唠唠叨叨的，不嫌烦啊?”我把手机往桌上一扔，朝外婆吼了起来。但话一出口，我就后悔了——我是不是太过分了，居然这样向长辈说话。

外婆怔了一下，却没有打我。

“行，我也不想管你了，你爱怎么样就怎么样吧。”外婆的声音有些颤抖，直叫我心酸懊悔。

外婆又回去做饭了，但她的步伐似乎很是缓慢。每一步，都让我感到无比难过，想说些道歉的词句，却又开不了口。

外婆，真的是老了啊。她已不像从前一样健康了，有时，她会肚子疼，虽然她一直说没事，却难受得在床上躺了一天。她的确很唠叨，但她是为了我好啊，我怎么能这样对她?

后来，我对外婆说了“对不起”，外婆又像往常一样，开始唠叨起来：“你啊，只要对得起你爸妈，外婆就很开心了!”外婆是爱唠叨，但她爱着我，没有一丝虚假。不论是外婆，还是外婆的唠叨，都已经在我的心中留下了永恒的芳香。

One story about Jack,an Irishman,who was not allowed into Heaven because he was stingy with his money.So he was sent to hell.But down there he played tricks on the Devil (Satan),so he was kicked out of Hell and made to walk the earth forever carrying a lantern.

Well,Irish children made Jacks lanterns on October 31st from a large potato or turnip,hollowed out with the sides having holes and lit by little candles inside.And Irish children would carry them as they went from house to house begging for food for the village Halloween festival that honored the Druid god Muck Olla.The Irish name for these lanterns was "Jack with the lantern" or "Jack of the lantern," abbreviated as " Jack-o-lantern" and now spelled "jack-o-lantern."

The traditional Halloween you can read about in most books was just childrens fun night.Halloween celebrations would start in October in every elementary school.

关于万圣节有这样一个故事.是说有一个叫杰克的爱尔兰人,因为他对钱特别的吝啬,就不允许他进入天堂,而被打入地狱.但是在那里他老是捉弄魔鬼撒旦,所以被踢出地狱,罚他提着灯笼永远在人世里行走.

在十月三十一日爱尔兰的孩子们用土豆和萝卜制作“杰克的灯笼”,他们把中间挖掉、表面上打洞并在里边点上蜡烛.为村里庆祝督伊德神的万圣节,孩子们提着这种灯笼挨家挨户乞讨食物.这种灯笼的爱尔兰名字是“拿灯笼的杰克”或者“杰克的灯笼”,缩写为Jack-o-lantern .

现在你在大多数书里读到的万圣节只是孩子们开心的夜晚.

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。

Parents are the people who care about us the most. But for a lot children,

they think it is necessary for parents to give them everything. As they grow up,

they start to realize their responsibility and feel grateful to their parents. I

was very naughty before. One day, I hanged out to play with my friends very

late, but I havent told my parents, because I thought they would not care. But

when I went home, I found my parents and uncle were sitting together, and they

looked very upset. When my parents saw me, they were angry to ask me why I went

home so late. I felt unhappy and shouted at them. Then my uncle told me that my

parents worried about me so much, and they had searched me for the whole street.

At this moment, I felt so touched, and felt their love.

As the whole world has its boundaries, limits and freedom coexist in our

life. I don’t expect complete freedom, which is impossible. I simply have a

dream that supports my life.

I dream that one day, I could escape from the deep sea of thick schoolbooks

and lead my own life. With my favorite fictions, I lie freely on the green

grass, smelling the spring, listening to the wind singing, breathing the fresh

and cool air and dissolve my soul in nature at last. Simple and short enjoyment

can bring me great satisfaction.

I dream that one day the adults could throw their prejudice of comic and

cartoon away. They could keep a lovely heart that can share sorrow and happiness

with us while watching cartoon or doing personal things. That’s the real

communication of heart to heart.

I have the belief that my dreams should come true. I am looking forward to

some day coming when I am like a proud eagle, which flies to the blue and vast

sky.

五年以前，妈妈赴国外访学，把我也带了去，到了一个人生地不熟的世界。

四处都是白皮肤的人，我和妈妈就如天鹅群中的鸭子一般，独在异乡为异客。我语言不通，遇到人，甚至小朋友，竟也无法出一言以对。

后来，我在那里上了学。在学校的我更加无依无靠，再加上语言不通，我成了其他人歧视的对象。我不甘心，发誓要练好英语。但您想一想，要改变自己大脑中的语言习惯，去适应西方的文化，同时保留原有的语言知识，是多不容易啊。

日日夜夜，我不停地练习，生硬地蹦出一个一个单词。白日里我与同学辩驳作业，夜里我不停地喃喃自语，每天我身边都围绕着自己那锯木般粗劣笨拙的英语。

面壁我也说，走路我也说，直到说到口干舌燥，舌敝唇焦。有几次我讲着讲着嘴中又干又涩，一阵反胃差点吐了。那一年半我真可谓是以唾沫洗脸，抱书籍入眠，以英文为枕，以外语为床。朝朝夕夕，日日夜夜，不论何时何地，总以英语为伴。

您认为我得到了回报吗?没有。在班级之中我仍旧是最末的一个，英语仍然赶不上别人，虽说已经能流利地说，但常常不知从何而说。后来，我回国了，但这依然没有使我摆脱窘境――我学的是口语，而没有学语法。作为一个在国外待了一年半的小孩，做起语法题来一窍不通，英语成绩竟然徘徊在中流。

两年之后，我跨进了初中的大门。一次比赛改变了我对自己的失望。尽管我认为我很失败，妈妈依然给我报了一个英语辩论赛。比赛很快开始了，我开始战战兢兢，不敢说话，后来被逼无奈，才嗫嚅着开始反驳对方。

但讲着讲着，我感到僵硬的舌头竟渐渐酥软下来，口齿也清新了。我还未意识到，我所学的，所练的，所有的语言点都行云流水般从口中喷薄而出，

仿佛我与这些句子――甚至这个语言化为了一体，而运用起来就如运动双手一般容易。我等时感到飘忽忽，若踩于浮云之上，有会当凌绝顶，一览众山小之势，有直挂云帆济沧海的力量。这时我才发现，我所付出的，并没有泯灭，而一直蕴藏在我身上，我种下的种子，终于开花了。

春华秋实，乃自然之道。付出于收获之间是有一个过程的。每当觉得劳而无获的时候，为何不去平静地等待，迎接秋天的丰收呢?

种下一颗种子，它不会立即开花，但如果你耐心等待，静待花开，便会迎来万花之芬芳。

I am a child of the suns mother, my name is called the earth. I used to live happy, wake up in the morning, light rain "hua" to give me a bath; People planted many trees and flowers in my body, to get dolled up on me, then, clean running around the sun mother I, let the sun mother look at my new skirt. In the afternoon, the children from school, and I do homework together and play with me together. At night, people also make me very beautiful, they gave me the street lamp, make me golden... The mother said: "the human also is really good, not only your dress is very beautiful, also play with you, you are so blessed, so lucky!"

But now, the human is not as great as the sun mother said. They throw rubbish in my body, I got into a lot of dirty, human "car" still love discharge of tail gas, the rain is full of dirty water, the more I to wash the dirty; People still love the disorderly cut down trees flowers and plants, destruction of street lamp, make clothes and they gave me a bad bad, dirty... The sun mother urged me to say: "you still get rid of those humans!" But the good and I dont have the heart to leave them. Because it make me a bad meal every day, sleep well, so, I got sick, floods, earthquakes often... Some said 2012 could be the end of me. People in the disaster, are aware of this they destroy me, and they began to care about me, love me! I believe in the days that followed, I will become more beautiful, beautiful!

我是太阳妈妈的孩子，我的名字叫地球。我以前生活的很快乐：早上一醒来，小雨就“哗啦啦”地给我洗澡;人们在我身上种了很多花草树木，把我打扮得漂漂亮亮的，然后，干干净净的我就围着太阳妈妈转来转去，让太阳妈妈看看我的新裙子。下午，孩子们放学了，就和我一起写作业，一起和我玩。晚上，人们也把我打扮的很漂亮，他们给我身上安上路灯，把我打扮的金灿灿的……太阳妈妈说：“人类还真好，不仅把你打扮的很漂亮，还和你一起玩，你真是太有福气，太幸运了!”

可是现在，人类也不像太阳妈妈说的那么好了。他们在我身上乱扔垃圾，把我搞得浑身脏兮兮的，人类的“车”还爱排放尾气，雨下下来的全是脏水，把我越洗越脏;人们还爱乱砍伐树木花草，破坏路灯，把他们给我的衣服也搞得的烂烂的，脏脏的……太阳妈妈劝我说：“你还是摆脱那些人类吧!”可是好心的我又不忍心丢下他们。因为这件事让我每天吃不好饭，睡不好觉，所以，我就生病了，经常发洪水、地震……还有人说2012年可能是我的末日。人们在这些灾难中，意识到了这都是他们破坏我而造成的，于是他们又开始关心我，爱护我了!我相信以后的日子里，我一定会变得更加美丽、漂亮的!

Environmental protection is every one of us to do, make the responsibility of each of us, once you live in the earth, you have to protect the environment, because we want for our children and grandchildren, give them a good living environment, and not to harm the environment and harm to our children and grandchildren.

Its our duty to protect the environment, and some people said: this is an important task, we are a little, it should give the big man to do, we have to do is not to undermine. Many people agree that in the face of this statement, and the I will against it. In fact, environmental protection is more than a great thing, or do we all the citizens of these things, and they will go to the governance, we control our things, mind your own affairs, because environmental protection from a small one.

Environmental protection is a small matter, dont throw a piece of junk, dont chop down a tree, not a one-time items... Maybe, you have the conditions, is a piece of junk, recycling plant a tree, with an item again... This is to protect the environment, is so simple, need not you do more difficult things, environmental protection is just as simple as that.

环保是我们每个人要做的事情，使我们每个人的责任，你一旦生活在地球，你就要保护环境，因为我们要为我们的子孙后代着想，给他们一个好的身活环境，而不是去破坏环境，危害我们的子孙。

保护环境是我们的责任，而有的人却说：这是一个重任，我们是个小人物，这应该给大人物去办，我们不破坏就行了。面对这种说法，很多人都同意，而我就反对。其实，环保不止是大人物的事情，还是我们这些市民的事情，而他们就去治理大事，我们就治理我们的事情，管好自己的小事，因为环保是从一件小事做起的。

保护环境其实是一件小事，不扔一件垃圾、不砍一棵树、不用一次性用品……也许，你有条件的话，就回收一件垃圾、种一棵树、再次用一件物品……这都是保护环境的行为，就是如此简单，不用你做更难的事情了，环保只是这么简单。

晨风习习，琼枝带露，啊，又是一个大雾天。家乡的雾没有峨眉山的雾那样厚、那样秀，也没有黄山的雾那般奇丽渺远、变幻莫测，但我最欣赏的还是家乡的雾。

我的家乡位于崇山峻岭之中的会稽山麓，这里层峦叠嶂，千岩竞秀，万壑争流，这里的雾有它独特的魅力。

家乡的雾白得美，白得朴素。像瑞雪一样的白吗?它没有。它白中略灰，白里泛青，比白雪美多了。可不是，浓雾沉睡在青山秀水之间，汲取了山间草木的灵气，不要打扮得更秀美了吗?这样的白雾只配乡村才拥有，任何丹青高手，也很难调得出来吧?家乡的雾白得自然，白得真诚，我真想抓一把在手中，甚至拥它入怀，把它点染在画纸上，不时地欣赏它。

家乡的雾浓得深，浓得纯，丝毫没有城市中的雾那般含有油烟味。它很可爱，尽管行人相隔几步时，只能闻声，而不能见人，吸入一丝雾气，清凉清凉的。我们背着书包上学堂，浓雾飘上了我的前额，和我亲吻，我没法回避，这个多情的女子啊，你是在渲染你的热情和好客吗?望望四周，雾茫茫的一片。或许有人会感到憋闷，看不到连绵逶迤的群峰，看不到苍翠茂盛的竹木，可我不在乎。

浓雾变幻着，一会儿化做了凉风，一会儿变成了小露珠，沾在我的发梢上，沾到我的睫毛上。我轻轻合上眼，清凉的感觉使人心旷神怡，经雾水的洗礼，我似乎明眸含“泪”了。

家乡的雾柔得真美。它韧如白云，剪不断扯不断。它轻轻敷在小草上，草也真爱雾姐姐，尽情地吮吸着甘汁。

太阳渐渐升起，雾渐渐地变淡了。一轮红红的圆日高悬在半空中，高山、峰峦、树木渐渐露出了轮廓，经雾水洗涤的山川大地，充满着勃勃的生机。那奄奄一息的枯木似乎也滋润了，有了洒脱的生命。

家乡的雾亲切、热情，我爱家乡的雾，它真让人思念。

Environmental problems are becoming more and more serious all over the

world. For example, cars have made the air unhealthy for people to breathe and

poisonous gas is given off by factories. Trees on the hills have been cut down

and waste water is being poured continuously into rivers.Furthermore, wherever

we go today, we can find rubbish carelessly disposed. Pollution is, in fact,

threatening our existence.

The earth is our home and we have the duty to take care of it for ourselves

and for our later generations. Fortunately, more and more people have realized

these problems. Measures have been taken to cope with these problems by the

government. Laws have been passed to stop pollution. I hope the problem will be

solved in the near future and our home will become better and

better.Environmental problems are becoming more and more serious all over the

world. With the development of industry and agriculture, cars make GREat noises

and give off poisonous gas. Trees on the hills have been cut down,and waste

water is being poured continuously into rivers. Furthermore,wherever we go

today, we can find rubbish carelessly disposed. The whole ecological balance of

the earth is changing. Massive destruction of environment has brought about

negative effects and even poses a great threat to mans existence.

We must face the situation that exists and take actions to solve our

environmental problems. For instance, new laws must be passed to place strict

control over industrial pollution, the pub!ic must receive the education about

the hazard of pollution and so on. We hope that all these measures will be

effective and bring back a healthful environment.
