郭明义参军之前，只是初中学历。在部队时，他抓住“缝隙时间”学习英语。来到矿山工作后，他每天晚上都骑自行车往返20多公里，到市内的夜校学习。

1992年，国家“七五”重点建设项目——齐大山矿扩建工程进入开工准备阶段，郭明义又考入英语强化班进修一年。1993年工程开工后，他担任了33台、每台价值1000多万元、载重量154吨生产汽车——电动轮现场组装的英文翻译。

美国犹格里德公司澳大利亚售后技术服务部中国区总管，两次劝说郭明义到他所在的公司工作，并承诺给予比他当时收入高6至7倍的工资，可老郭不为所动，说：“我上党校、夜校、进修，都是企业支付的学费，还发给我补贴。我对企业有感情，我要回报企业，对企业的发展有信心。”

虽然电动轮的进口备件质量检验不归郭明义负责，但每次对着备件做翻译时，他都认真检查，先后发现了5台电动轮有质量问题。公司与外方据理力争，最终获得10万美元的赔偿。

初中作文 少壮不努力老大徒伤悲

Almost everyone knows the famous Chinese saying：A young idler，an old beggar. Throughout history，we have seen many cases in which this saying has again and again proved to be true.

It goes without saying that the youth is the best time of life，during which ones mental and physical states are at their peaks. It takes relatively less time and pains to learn or accept new things in a world full of changes and rapid developments. In addition，one is less likely to be under great pressure from career，family and health problems when young. Therefore，a fresh mind plus enormous energy will ensure success in different aspects of life.

Of course，we all know：no pains，no gains. If we dont make every effort to make good use of the advantages youth brings us，it is impossible to achieve any goals. As students，we should now try our best to learn all the subjects well so that we can be well prepared for the challenges that we will face in the future.

初三英语学习的三大对策

尽早进入状态

初三是初中学习生活的关键年级，学习内容多，要求高，强度大。一年后（实际上约10个月）同学们就要参加中考，进入状态越早，就会越主动，效果就会越好。

初三的状态是指：树立明确的人生目标，拥有足够的学习动力，具有强烈的自信心；变“要我学”为“我要学”，时间安排合理，学习效率高；学习得法，不搞题海战术，既会学习，又会考试。

抓好三个环节

预习：初三学习忙，时间紧，但预习工作不可忘。课前要熟悉课文中生词的音和义，基本搞懂课文内容，尤其要记下难于理解的问题。带着这些问题，有的放矢地听课，听课的效率就会提高。

听课：课堂是获取知识和培养能力的主渠道，学习时间大多是在课堂中度过的。因此掌握科学的听课方法，提高听课效率，是提高课堂学习效率和学习成绩的关键所在。在课前预习的基础上，可以明确听课目标，掌握听课的主动性，从而提高学习效率。课堂上，通过听、说、读、写的训练，掌握词、句、段、篇等基本知识，培养听、说、读、写的基本能力。因此上课不仅要认真听，更要多说，多读，多写，多思。也要捕捉讲课重点，尽可能当堂消化。

复习：温故而知新，课后复习可以加深对课堂所学知识的消化和理解，并强化记忆，达到熟练掌握灵活运用。

复习要及时。艾宾浩斯遗忘曲线告诉我们，在学习开始的一段时间，不仅遗忘得快，而且遗忘的内容也多，因此趁热打铁，及时复习非常必要。对课文中的重点，难点、关键句可用有色笔注上记号，以便经常复习。

于我们而言，正确地认识我们本身的优势和不足是非常重要的，其原因在于它有助于我们提高自身，我们应该自省并且学会认识我们自己是谁

It is important to know our good and bad points because this knowledge will help us to improve ourself. We should examine ourselves and learn who we are.

在自我认识当中，最重要的就是认识自己的优势和不足。举例而言，我是一个身体健康的人，由于这个原因，我可以非常努力地去工作。同时我乐观、谦和并且有礼貌。这些是我的优势。同时，我也存在一些不足。首先就是我脾气有点倔，而且缺乏耐心。在一些时候我也会犯懒，也许有时整天在看电视和吃垃圾食品。可是有这些缺点，我却并不觉得怎样羞愧，因为我了解到了他们，促进我提高了自身

Above all, we should recognize our strengths and weaknesses. For example, I am healthy and fit, so I can work hard. Im also optimistic, humble and polite. These are my strengths. However, I also have weaknesses. For one thing, Im stubborn and a little impatient. Im sometimes lazy as well and can spent a whole day just watching TV and eating junk food. Im not ashamed to admit these bad pints. Knowing what they are lets me focus on improving myself.

There is no doubt that happiness is the most precious thing in the world. Without it, life will be empty and meaningless. If you wish to know how to get happiness, you must pay attention to the following two points.

First, health is the secret of happiness (the key to happiness)。 Only a strong man can enjoy the pleasure of life.

Secondly, happiness consists in contentment. A man who is dissatisfied with his present condition is always in distress.

无疑的快乐是世界上最宝贵的东西。没有它，人生将是空虚的而且毫无意义的。如果你希望知道如何获得快乐，你须注意下面两点。

健康是快乐的要诀。唯有身体强壮的人才能享受人生的乐趣。

快乐在于知足。一个不满于现状的人终是处在痛苦之中。

这几年，许多同学都在假期补课，而且从来没有补过，由于我喜欢玩，不喜欢学习。眼看着新的假期又要来了，我们班上的许多同学都在报名被课。有的同学喜欢补数学；有的同学喜欢补作文；大多数同学喜欢补英语，由于英语太难啦！对我来讲，英语好像从来没有及格过，看着同学们都积极学习的样子，我也有些心动了。

由于去年假期，同学们都在补课，没有人和我玩，我现在想还不如去和他们一起补课算了，那么选哪一门课呢？后来想了一想，我就决定补自己最差的英语了。那天，我报了名，英语老师说：“凤凤，你早就得补你的英语了，这次来一定要好好学，其实英语一点都不难！”听了英语老师的话，我的心里别提多兴奋了。

到了补课其间，我们每个人都准备了新的笔记本，将老师讲的每一个要点都记了下来。因为在这里补课的同学还有其他班上的同学，所以学习热情很高涨，我也不好意思玩了。别的同学做什么，我就做什么，反正自己也没有好的学英语方法，所以现在就是我最好的学习机会。

差不多一个月的时间，我的英语水平提高了许多，最后的测试分数不再是倒数第一，我终于进步了。当我拿着成绩让爸爸妈妈看进，他们一直夸我有进步，并要继续努力。当时，我的心里乐滋滋的，非常感谢假期补英语的生活。

我是学生会生活部部长。我代表所有学生给您写信反映一下我们对食堂的意见。

食堂有令人满意的一面也有令人不满意的一面；令我们满意的是，食堂给我们提供了很多种类的食物。另外，饭菜价格便宜，味道可口，我们很喜欢。而且食堂环境也已经改善了。但是他们给的食物的分量不足。食堂的座位也不够，一些学生吃饭时没有座位。我们希望学校会考虑增添些座位。

最后我们建议他们改进饭菜的质量，改善服务。如果这些问题能被解决我们会感到非常高兴。

The Dragon Boat Festival is a lunar (阴历)holiday, occurring (存正)on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month (农历史五月第五天)

The Chinese Dragon Boat Festival is a significant (有意义的)holiday celebrated (庆祝)in China, and the one with the longest history (历史最悠久). The Dragon Boat Festival is celebrated by boat races (龙舟赛) in the shape of dragons. Competing teams (竞争团队) row their boats forward to a drumbeat (击古)racing to reach the finish end first.

The boat races during the Dragon Boat Festival are traditional customs (传统习俗)to attempts to (试图)rescue (搭救) the patriotic poet (爱国诗人)Chu Yuan. Chu Yuan drowned (溺死) on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month in 277 B.C. Chinese citizens now throw bamboo leaves (竹叶) filled with cooked rice into the water. Therefore the fish could eat the rice rather than the hero poet. This later on turned into the custom of eating tzungtzu and rice dumplings(棕子).

The celebrations is a time for protection (防护) from evil (邪恶) and disease (疾病) for the rest of the year. It is done so by different practices such as hanging healthy herbs on the front door, drinking nutritious concoctions (营养品), and displaying (展示) portraits (画像) of evils nemesis(邪恶报应), Chung Kuei. If one manages to (成功做...) stand (直立)an egg on its end at exactly 12:00 noon, the following year will be a lucky one.

Last Sunday I went to Yang Ming Shan Park with my parents.It was a sunny day.There were trees and flowers all over the place.The trees were tall and pretty and the flowers smelled sweet.

上周日我和我的父母去阳明山公园。这是一个阳光灿烂的日子。所有地方都有树木和花卉。高高的树木和漂亮的花闻起来很香。

In the park we could see some birds flying up in the sky.An old man was sitting on the bench reading a book and two cats were playing under the bench.Some boys were playing games and some people were taking walks.Others were just jogging around the place.In the afternoon we took a walk along the stream for two hours.Then the stream flowed to the woods.In the middle of the woods we could see a small pood with many fish in it.

在公园里我们可以看到一些鸟儿飞翔在天空。一个老人坐在替补席上看着一本书，两个猫在板凳上玩闹。一些孩子正在玩游戏，一些人在散步。其他的人都只是在慢跑的地方。下午，我们就沿着小溪散步两个小时。然后走到树林。林中，我们可以看到一个有很多鱼的小水池。

I like to go to the mountains and I like to see nature,too.I really enjoy the nice day at this interesting place.I hope I can go there again someday.

我喜欢去爬山，我喜欢看自然。我真的很享受美好的一天在这个有趣的地方。我希望我能有一天再去那里。
