【范文】不曾凋落的梅

题记：浑浊萌芽中——道已存在。

冬过了，可又有谁在意那枝寒梅的存在?人们固爱美丽，可孰爱这凋零的梅呢，汝可知否，梅不曾凋零。

岁月如霜，多少的花在最灿烂时凋谢了，享受着如潮的光景，当拥有大多时，最后面对的则是死亡。她们固然美丽，在好的季节时，他们灿烂着，人们爱她，纷花之俏，欣然于目，在这聒躁的世间里，他们为了生存，便伪装了自己，所以呈现于人的是最美丽的一面。

“啊，这花好美啊，那样艳丽!”“嗯，是啊，还带芳香呢。”

是啊，人们都爱着娇丽，这装扮起的美丽。梅，还不曾绽放，光秃秃的枝头还不曾发芽。是啊，这样丑陋的梅，又有谁会去爱呢。他受到冷落嘲讽，可梅知道自己心中的美丽，他积蓄着，待以勃发。

在日晖于风雨中，在朝阳与冷月中，多少次物换星移，天渐渐凉了，人们再不愿去赏花了，庭院里是凄清，冷寂的。屋檐的余水，缓缓滴落，那被打破的潭影激荡起层层涟漪，又击碎了那镜影中的蓝天。这世间万物仿佛都疲倦了，那些傲慢的花再也不敢那么神气了，炫耀自己的美丽。

是啊，秋来了，那脉脉黄叶，红叶，打着旋，摇曳着，仿佛在摇曳出那悠长的梦。

梦是孤寂，那些曾经炫耀的花朵也有梦吧。美丽的，如泡影般的梦。最后这曾经的灿烂也死在这孤寂中，陨落了。

雁过也，你可曾相识?你在这凋零中，还在追寻那曾经的美丽吗?叶静静地飘落着，空中弥漫着灰蒙蒙的雨雾;花谢了，所留下的只有这残破的枯朵。

天愈寒了，北风呼啸着一切，肃杀的寒冷仿佛要吞蚀世间的万物。

雪，漫银飞舞在天际间，无尽的茫然朦胧在雪寂中，晶莹的雪压上了突兀的枝头。那曾经绽放的美丽，你在哪里?眼前只有这雪花在舞着，旋着。如走在末日的荒芜。在寂静中，那生命的灿烂呢?

忽而，我望见了，是一枝梅傲然挺立在风雪中。寒风的呼啸，又怎能使梅退缩，在积蓄后勃发，在酷寒中超越了自己，昂着枝头，灿烂地迎霜傲雪，飘逸着超越世俗的绝丽，孰可识梅?知梅者傲骨，愿读者少亦。梅孤独的绽放着，那昂起的枝头似乎在昭示着前方。

冬去春来，严寒的冷酷终于过去了，和煦的春风使万物又苏醒了;积雪融化了，树梢上又突出了新芽，花儿们又绽放了。人们也减去厚重的衣服上山赏花，他们好开心，踏着松软的土地，闻着泥土的芳香。在这花丛里尽情的欢笑着，这哪还有半点凄凉

梅，又静静的积蓄着，虽然还曾是那突兀的枝杈，可这浩然正气的清香还弥留在人间，但又有谁爱这只凋零的梅呢?不，你错了，梅在人们的心中从来就不曾凋零。

后记：寂寞在寂寞中的寂寞，才是真正的寂寞!

看书可以让我们遨游在知识的海洋里，我就十分喜欢看书。

每一次放学时，我就边走边想：“昨天读到了什么地方?那本书放在了那里?恩....左边...不对，右边?对!右边第二排第七个。”一想到可以看书了，我就特别高兴，想马上就到家。一回到家里我就如饥似渴地看书，常常回因为太专著而忘了做作业，直到天色渐渐暗了下去，我才恋恋不舍地放下书，打开作业本。每当做车时，我也常常因为看书而一直坐到终点站。我看过的书有许多《上下五千年》《一千零一夜》《少年大世界》....每一天我都畅游在书的海洋里，去看食人鱼、去远古看野人、去外星看建筑.....现在，我的肚子里的墨水也有几桶了!

前面讲台上，放着一只被咬了一口的苹果，以此为话题，写一篇作文。

要求：立意自定，角度自选，体裁不限，字数不少于800字

【范文】 残缺的苹果

完美，你在哪?无人知晓，哪里是尽头?哪里是伊始?活着，只为寻求你。—题记

每一次的找到，每一次的失去，每一次都是那么的落寞，那么的无奈，可心中仍有一丝希望，一种期待，上帝总是鼓励我寻找下去，鼓励着我不要离开你，即使落寞也有希望，既是无奈也仍有曙光。不再言放弃，我相信，下一站，未临行。

每一次的失落，都像是一个大苹果好端端的被咬了一大口，一种缺憾而不够完美的感觉，一种被遗忘了的感觉油然而生，一个人到底怎样才算被人遗忘，也许是别人不了解你吧，可是当我们抱怨的同时有没有想到，其实我们抱怨有的时候比起离乡的月圆真的有点无力。一个月亮，一年也只不过才有几次的圆吧，剩下的时间是我们看到的残月，我们的心有时候像游子一般。在天际遨游，我们的心有的时候不觉得有一种失落，这种失落大多是因为想念。有一首歌叫做想念是会呼吸的痛，想念像是一轮残月，不觉的爬上我们的心头，天空是月亮的归宿，那哪里才是我们游子的归宿。

游子临行，言语只在于留念，思想只停留于瞬间，也许一时的稚气，也许一时的妄为，造就了我们有字的身份，造就了我们心中的残月，事事的不圆满如那只的苹果。我们并不知道在未来会有些什么，会有多少挑战在等着我们，有多少陷阱等候在我们未来的路上。现在的我们为了不受游资之苦，不受临行羁绊，只有按部就班的走下去，直到有了足够的能力可以去淡然的面对一切的嘶吼，一切的挣扎。我们会成为游子，理由应该只有一个，那就是我们足以面对一切……

一个苹果只有足以诱人的时候才叫做成熟，当我们只有到足够实力的时候才叫做长大。我们的长大像苹果一样，如若不够完满，即使表面光鲜其实也是没有什么用的，因为人们只要尝一口后就会知道这只苹果并不怎么样……

残缺是一种美，缺憾也是一种美，正是这种残缺与缺憾映衬着完整，正如断臂女神维纳斯一样，人们想尽办法给她安装胳臂，可是怎么也没有装上，因为她本来就是断臂的，装上胳臂就没有原来那样美了!

世界上的事情没有完美的，有的只是一种对完美的奢望，就是这样一种奢望，才吸引我们毫不犹豫地追求，在追求中不断地提升我们的素质和内涵。

“不如归去，不如归去”的阵阵呼唤，魂牵梦绕，那是游子的心灵缺憾;黄叶飘零，冬雪将临，游子衣单，那是母亲的惦念;“行不得也哥哥”的声声啼叫，伴随着梧桐月影，那是思妇的期盼……人们，就是在这样的期盼与遗憾中孑孓前行，人类，就是在种种思念中演进。证实这种种奢望与追求，让人们感恩与幸福。

找寻，是生生不息的生命之源，在期盼中我们不得不长大，月残，一种缺美;乡愁，一种凄美。

As the development of the world, there is more and more entertainment for people to kill time. Reading used to be an important amusement. But now there are less and less people fond of reading. But there are still a large number of people stand on the side of reading. For me, I think reading is very important. The reasons are as following.

First of all, reading can broaden our vision. The main way we learn the things happen long time ago is according to the book. People will try their best to write the things in their stage in their way. When we read books, we have the opportunity to learn everything. The content in the books contains the knowledge all over the world and every aspect. We can read the knowledge about biography, science, technology, culture, economic and so on from the book. It is hard not to broaden vision from reading.

Secondly, reading can cultivate our taste. I am sure that reading some elegant sentence or the beautiful things described in the book will make us feel relax and comfortable. And we all know that the more knowledge a person has, the better-behaved he will be. I think this is the charming of reading. If there are more people like reading, the world will become more civilized.

The importance mentioned above just a part of reading. It has so many advantages that I can’t list all in a short time. It is irreplaceable in human beings’ life.

随着世界的发展，越来越多娱乐供人们消磨时光。阅读在过去常常就是一种重要的娱乐。但现在却越来越少人喜欢阅读了。但仍然还有很多人是喜欢看书的。对我来说，我认为阅读是很重要的。理由如下。

首先，阅读可以开阔我们的视野。我们了解很久以前发生的事情的主要方式是通过阅读。人们用他们自己的方式尽自己最大的努力写关于他们那个年代的事情。我们看书的时候，我们才有机会了解到一切。书中的内容包含知识的方方面面。通过书籍我们可以了解到关于传记，科学，技术，文化，经济等方面的知识。从阅读中，我们的视野很难不被拓宽。

其次，阅读可以陶冶我们的情操。我相信阅读一些优美的句子或者书中描述的美丽东西会使我们感到放松和舒适。我们都知道一个人拥有的知识越多，那个人就会表现得越好。我觉得这就是阅读的魅力。如果有更多的人喜欢阅读，这个世界会变得更加文明。

上面所提到的重要性只是其中一部分。阅读有很多的优点，在短时间内我都不能一一列举我不能列举。它在人类的生活中是不可替代的。

碎片阅读是一种读者通过手机、电子书、网络等进行的不完整的、断断续续的阅读模式。下面语文迷小编为大家提供了碎片阅读的好处英语作文，希望对你有帮助。

Many people read on digital devices like cell phones and e-books. The fast pace of life leaves many people no time to sit and read a whole book, so making use of fragmented time to read is sure to be a trend. Fragmented reading has its advantages. People can get hold of large amounts of information, knowledge, and entertainment in a short time. Digital reading is faster and more interactive than traditional deep reading.

Fragmented reading makes it harder for people to reflect on what they read. People may not bother to remember facts because they know they can always just search for answers online. It is important to read quality books in a deeper way, even if that means forcing yourself to do so. We read not only for knowledge and for practical use, but also for spiritual satisfaction.

In today＇s society, more and more adults return to the university, sit in the classroom, open the textbook again in order to further their education.What they study involves a lot of subjectsnot only English and computer used in all trades as tools,but also more professional ones such as MBA courses. Different from thecollegestudentswho may know little aboutwhat they＇ll major in the college before they are engaged in it, the adults make their choices for some simple and definite reasons,which can be roughly classified into three groups, the requirement of the job market, the desire for higher salary and the need for entertainment and relaxation.

In the era characterized of rapid development of technology,it is not so easy to find or to secure a job for the intense competition. As a result, adults feel what they studied in school is far from enough to deal with the work in hand. Thus, "to charge the battery" is listed into schedule by more and more people. For example, Mr. Wang, an accountant in a big company, suddenly realized it was too hard for him to understand technical terms coming from his young colleagues. And worst of all, they ap

peared in the program of their new business. So, firmly, he entered for a weekend course on accountancy for a further degree.

But in some cases, people prefer reeducation just for money,which partly results from the professional job title system in China. Although virtually unrelated to people＇s own jobs, a few certificates are fervently pursued by some middle aged men and women just because they are the criteria for a higher title, which means some one hundred Yuan or so will be added to their salary. So it＇s the eagerness to grasp money rather than to study render them to return to the class.

It is true that severe pressure of making a living stirs some people to pursue further education.However,this is not the case as far as another group of people are concerned. These people, with domestic and occupational stability, feel a lack of interest in their life. So, they turn to some courses such as music and arts and literature, which may be their childhood dream. Education of this type can relax their nerves, make them more graceful and their life more colorful.

Mainly for the three reasons mentioned above, an increasingly large number of adults in modern society came back to classroom after they stepped out of the campus.Whatever reasons lead to their reeducation, our society benefits a lot from the endeavor of these adults.To name just a few, the workers＇ quality improves, and the income of education industry increascs... And more people are continuing to join the team of adult learners.By the way,if youpay a little attention to your parents, you＇ll probably find a brand new College English Course which you have just finished is on his or her desk now.

[关于成人教育的英语作文阅读

英国王子查尔斯曾经说过：“这个世界上有许多你可能不喜欢做但你不得不去做的事，这就是责任。”

作为一个学生，必须学习;作为一个工作，必须上班;作为……人如果有了某种身份，相应地就要承担起某种责任，而作为人谁没有一种或多种的身份呢?于是，便有了各种各样的责任。责任与人们终身相随，只会改变不会消失。

即将步入成年。你要面对许多责任，承担许多责任，对父母，对家庭，对集体，对别人。对国家……

请以“责任”为话题写一篇作文，所写内容必须在这个话题范围内。

注意：

①立意自定;

②文体自选;

③题目自拟;

④不少于800字。

【写前指导】“责任”一词含义有二种。其一，分内应做的事，如“保卫祖国，人人有责任”。其二，没有做好分内应做的事，因而应当承担的过失，如“追究他的责任”。责任在不同的人身上有着不同的具体表现形式，但它们都有着相同的抽象内涵。首先要正确理解责任的内涵，再和现实中的具体行动联系起来。

可以从抽象的层次来写对责任的理解，先写对责任的最初感受，然后在写老师的启发下懂得了责任的真谛：责任是一种约束，是鞭策，接着用具体的例子对内涵进行深入的阐释;再说责任自古就是民族发展兴旺的脊梁，最后发出号召，倡导大家都担负起时代的责任。

也可确定主题：年轻一代要尽快树立责任心。现在年轻的一代，生活在相对富足的环境中，受到无微不至的关心，自理能力差，忧患意识差，责任感差，这是危险的。这一代人在走上社会之前，一定要树立起对家庭、社会、国家的责任感。责任，是生命中的必修课。勇敢地面对生活中的挑战吧，勇敢地担起责任吧。

可以把责任具体化到“责任心”，以“每个人都应该有责任心”为论点，先从原理上阐述论点。然后指出社会上缺乏责任心的事实及造成的恶果，接下来对缺乏责任心的害处进行分析，最后再转过来从正面论述责任心的重要，重申论点。

责任感，是衡量社会道德水准的标志。有责任感的人多了，社会就进步;有责任感的人少了，社会就下滑。在今天，人们常说我们的社会道德滑坡。因此捍卫文明，重新支起道德的支柱，是时代赋予我们的历史责任。

责任还有一个孪生姐妹，那便是权利。在社会中每个人都要尽到自己的责任，但如果只强调责任，而不顾及每个人的权利，可以吗?责任和权利之间是矛盾辩证的关系，于我们当前的社会发展有着尤其突出的现实意义。

he first thing I want to insist on is that reading should be enjoyable. Of course, there are many books that we all have to road, either to pass examinations or to acquire information,from which it is impossible to extract enjoyment. We aro reading them for instruction, and the best we can hope is that our need for it will enable us to get through them without todium. Such books wo read with resignation rather than with alacrity. But that is not the sort of roading I have in mind. The books I shall mention in due course will help you neither to get a degree nor to earn your living, they will not teach you to sail a boat or get a stalled motor to run, but they will help you to live more fully. That, however, they cannot do unless you enjoy reading them.

Every man is his own best critic. Whatever the learned say about a book, however unanimous they are in their praise of it,unless it interests you, it is no business of yours. And you who read are the final judge of the value to you of the book you are reading. We are none of us exactly like everyone else, only rather like, and it would be unreasonable to suppose that the books that have meant a great deal to me should be precisely those that will mean a great deal to you. But they are books that I feel the richer for having read, and I think I should not be quite the man I am if I had not read them. No one is under an obligation to read poetry or fiction or the miscellaneous literature which is classed as belleslettres. He must read them for pleasure, and who can claim that what pleases one man must necessarily please another?

[为休闲阅读的英语作文

people often say that gold and silver are the most valuable things in the world. but i dont think so. in my opinion, to read books is more valuable than anything else.the old saying“to open a book is always helpful”clearly shows us how good it is to read a book.

books are our friends. they introduce us different kinds of knowledge.they lead us down the road to success.books are our teachers. they teach us truth, science, literature, and philosophy of life, besides they increase our knowledge, enlarge our experience, strengthen our character and do many other things which we can not do without them.we have to learn as long as we live. but our life is limited, and the knowledge is boundless. there are many things which are very necessary to learn and there are also many which should be avoided. books tell us what is good and what is evil. and only books can tell the good from the bad.

therefore to read more books is the best policy for our young students。

人们常说金子和银子是世界上最有价值的东西。但我不这么认为。在我看来,读书比任何其他事情更有价值。俗话说“打开一本书总是有益”清楚地显示了我们是多么好的阅读一本书。

书是我们的朋友。他们介绍我们各种各样的知识。他们引导我们成功之路。书是我们的老师。他们教我们真理、科学、文学和生活的哲学,除了它们增加我们的知识,扩大我们的经验,加强我们的性格,做许多其他的事情,我们离不开他们。我们必须学习,只要我们生活。但是我们的生命是有限的,知识是无限的。有许多事情是非常必要的学习和应该避免的也有很多。书告诉我们什么是善,什么是恶。只有书能告诉坏的好。

因此,读更多的书对我们的青年学生是最好的政策。

“英语说明文”，顾名思义，就是一种以“说明、解释”为主要表达方式的英语文体。它是对客观事物的性状、特点、功能和用途等等做科学解说的。它既不像故事那样重在情节的叙述和描写，也不像议论文那样，重在阐明主张和论点论据；更不像科幻作品那样富于想象和虚构夸张。说明文是通过解说事物、阐明事理，使人们增长知识和技能。说明文是高考英语阅读理解题中的重点内容之一。说明文具有与自己特点相适应的说明方法，因此说明文结构复杂，专业术语多，易于拉开考生分数档次，便于高校分层次选拔人才。然而对于考生来说说明文抽象度高，解题难度增大了。高考对说明文的考查多为科普知识，动植物特性、自然现象和新产品、新工艺介绍以及人文地理、风土人情等方面的说明文，文中解释性、定义性、说明性的句子居多。因此考生要掌握说明文的命题特点，叙述方式，以冷静的心态阅读原文，重点突破长句结构特点和逻辑关系，以便对其做出准确的语意理解。

一、说明文阅读理解的特征 一般说来，英语说明文与其它文体一样，文章所涉及的内容不外乎以下几个方面，即Who→What→When→Where→How→Why。

1. Who：问的是这篇文章的主体是谁？（即所要说明和描述的人或事物）

2. What：问的是主体做了什么事情？（即主体表现出的特性、功能和用途）

3. When和Where：是在何时何地发生的？（即何时何地所表现出的特性、功能和用途）

4. How：通过什么方式表现出来的？

5. Why：这种特性功能用途的原因是什么？

做说明文阅读阅读的时候，一定要记住上面的Wh-word。边阅读，边搜记，牢记要点，把握全文。

二．说明文阅读理解的类型 掌握说明文阅读理解题的类型对考生来说非常有必要。一般来说，高考对阅读理解的命题类型主要有以下几种：

1. 细节理解题

说明文中考查的细节理解题大致与记叙文相似。命题区域都有其共同点。⑴在列举处命题。如用First(1y)、Second(1y)、Third(1y)Finally、not only…but also、then、in addition等表示顺承关系的词语列举出事实。试题要求考生从列举出的内容中选出符合题干要求的答案项。⑵在例证处命题。句中常用由as、such as、for example、for instance等引导的短语或句子作为例证，这些例句或比喻就成为命题者设问的焦点。⑶在转折对比处命题。一般通过however、but、yet、in fact等词语来引导。对比用unlike、until、not so much…as等词语引导，命题者常对用来对比的双方属性进行考查。⑷在比较处命题。无端的比较、

相反的比较、偷换对象的比较，经常出现在干扰项中，考生要标记并且关注到原文中的比较，才能顺利地排除干扰。⑸在复杂句中命题。包括同位词、插入语、定语、从句、不定式等，命题者主要考查考生对句子之间的指代关系和语法关系。

细节类问题一般都能在原文中找到出处，只要仔细就可以在文中找到答案。但正确的选择项不可能与阅读材料的原文完全相同，而是用不同的语句成句型表达相同的意思。

2. 语义猜测题 说明文为了把自然规律，事物的性质等介绍清楚或把事理阐述明白，因此学术性强的生词较多，所以常进行生词词义判断题的考查。命题方式多以The underlined part “…” in Paragraph…refers to….或What does the underlined word mean?或What is the meaning of the underlined word?为设问方式。解题时考生应认真阅读原文，分析其对某些科学原理是如何定义、如何解释的，并以此为突破口抽象概括出生词词义。也可以通过上下文来猜测某个陌生词语的语意。或者找出某个词语在文章中的同义词。要注意破折号、同位语从句、定语从句、插入句等具有解释、说明作用的语言成分。说明文在阐述说明对象时易发生动作变换、人称转变的现象，这类题目常以 it，they，them 等代词为命题点，因此考生要根据上下文语境，认真阅读原文，分析动作转换背景，弄清动作不同执行者，以便准确判断代词的其实际指代对象。

3. 主旨理解题

说明文常用文章大意判断题考查考生对通篇文意的理解。即对文章的主题或中心意思的概括和归纳。主要考查考生对文章的整体理解能力。命题形式常以This passage mainly talks about ____.What is the main idea of the passage?为设问方式。这种试题多以This passage mainly talks about the major

surprising findings about….为回答方法。答题时首先阅读题干，掌握问题的类型，了解试题题干以及各个选项所包含的信息，然后有针对性地对文章进行扫读，对有关信息进行快速定位，再将相关信息进行整合、甄别、分析、对比，有根有据地排除干扰项，选出正确答案。

4. 判断推理题。

这种试题常以The passage is intended to...(2) The author suggests that...(3) The story implies that…(4) Which point of view may the author agree to?(5) From the passage we can conclude that...(6) The purpose of the passage is to...为设问方式。这种题型的答案在原文中不是直接就能找到的，它要求考生进行合理的推断。如因果关系，文中的某些用词、语气也往往具有隐含意义，考生要将这种含义读出来。说明文常出现图示判断题，这种试题可以事物之间正确的依赖关系为命题点，要求考生判断其正确的流程顺序相互关系等。考生一定要认真阅读原文，并对照原文介绍的情况，弄清图示的差异，根据题干需要最终做出正确判断。如：动物介绍性说明文常出现动物能力判断题，考查考生对特定动物所具有能力的判断。解题时考生应认真阅读原文对动物形态活动能力的判断，了解动物的生存环境和是否会使用工具，是否善于爬行、飞翔和游泳等。

观点态度题也是判断推理题考查的内容之一。说明文的对象为客观事实,但设题以议论的表达方式抒发对该说明对象的想法。如对某种新发明的赞赏,或对某个事物的批判。这类题目常见的题干表达方式有"What was the author?s attitude towards ...?" 等。

【实例探究】 Northwest China is part of the sandstorm centre in Central Asia. Sandstorms begin in desert areas. Sandstorms in China appear to have increased in recent years as a result of "desertification".

培根说：“读书足以怡静、足以博采、足以长才。”说明阅读是增加知识的不二法门。

由古至今，世界上有很名人都曾介绍阅读的好处，也有学者曾说过读一本好书，犹如同高尚的人谈话。

阅读，可以令你增广见闻，每天阅读一篇文章已令你的学问增加不少。阅读不但令你增广见闻，还可以增加课外知识。课本里的知识是不足够的，要靠自已去阅读课外书才行，因此读书足以博采。

阅读更可以帮助你解闷，当你十分纳闷时，你可以读读书、看看文章，就可以助你陶养性情……

除此之外，你还可以选择不同的书籍来阅读，例如：惊险刺激的侦探小说、刻骨铭心的爱情小说、有关历史的历史书……阅读科幻小说，可以幻想自已是主角，再回想书内的情景，已经回味不已。阅读一些有关旅游的书籍，犹如到世界各地游览……

阅读不但可以怡到静、博采、，而且是增加知识的不二法门，所以大家应该每天抽点时间阅读。

我从小就喜欢读书，那时候我不识字，只能看一些有图画的书，也常常让妈妈读给我听。上小学以后，我时常不是抱着一本童话故事书，就是拿着一本作文书。久而久之，我喜欢上了读书，不管是什么书，我都会认真地看。就这样，我从书中知睡道了许多知识，也从书中明白了许多道理，也积累了不少好词、好句。我的作文水平一下子提高了好多。我也更加喜欢读书了，每天晚上觉前都要看一会书。

从这些事情中，我知道了读书是每个人不可缺少的。我不知道该如何表达我对读书的热爱。只要一有空，我就钻到童话世界里去了。和白雪公主、七个小矮人在一起;有时又和灰姑娘在一起;又有的时候和小飞侠在天空中自由自在地遨游;还有时和小飞象在等待和盼望着它的妈妈，有时……

有空时，我又会走进作文屋里，去看一看他们的生活和趣事，想一想如何丰富生活、丰富世界。总之，读书会给你带来许多乐趣，会丰富你的生活，丰富你的世界。我喜欢读书，因为我从学到了很多的知识和道理，我想对每个人大声说：“我爱读书，书中自有黄金屋。”

In the English Reading Week, one of my classmates recommended a quote to us, which goes like this: “Your future depends on many things, but mostly on you.”

在英语阅读周，我的一个同学推荐了一个报价给我们，这是这样的：“你的未来取决于许多事情，但主要是在你。”

As far as I’m concerned, I completely agree with the view. Of course, our future depends on many things such as our living environment, opportunities, luck, others’ help and etc. But it is we ourselves that determine our future. Our positive attitude, our determination, our confidence and our sense of discipline are the keys to our future.

就我而言，我完全同意这一观点。当然，我们的未来取决于我们的生活环境、机会、运气、别人的帮助等，但我们自己决定了我们的未来。我们积极的态度、决心、信心和纪律是我们未来的关键。

Madame Curie was a good example to us. In her times, women were not admitted to university in her motherland, Poland, so she was forced to leave her homeland and studied in France. She often said: we should believe every one of us can do something and above all we should believe in ourselves. It was her confidence that made her discover radium and later win the Nobel Prize. So I firmly hold the belief that our future is in our hands.

居里夫人是我们的好榜样。在她的时代，妇女在她的祖国，波兰不承认，所以她被迫离开她的祖国，在法国学习。她常说：“我们应该相信我们每个人都能做些什么，首先我们应该相信自己。是她的信心，使她发现镭，后来赢得了诺贝尔奖。所以我坚信我们的未来是在我们手中。

As we all know, books, especially the classical, present the precious accumulation of wisdom and knowledge beyond the limitation of time or space, from which we can enjoy numerous anecdotes, get to know exotic culture and tradition, experience the legendary and miraculous life of our idols and make ourselves better men day by day.

Nevertheless, people, especially the young, seem to have stored those classical books merely on the shelf for an unbelievably long time, which can be attributed to various factors. On the one hand, modern people have to cope with the quick pace and unavoidable stress of their work or life; therefore, they can hardly devote time to reading books. On the other hand, people tend to be more material-oriented involving their social status, amount of wealth or prospects of getting promotion, which eclipse the important benefits from reading classical books.

To me, it is essential for most undergraduates to read certain classical books, especially ones filled with life-long motivation and sagacious thoughts, which may not guarantee them short-term returns but will bring them far-reaching reward.

我们都知道,书籍,尤其是古典音乐,现在宝贵的智慧和知识积累超越时间和空间的限制,我们可以享受大量的轶事,了解异国的文化和传统,我们偶像的传奇和奇迹的生活经验,让自己更好的男人。

然而,人,尤其是年轻人,似乎仅仅存储那些经典的书籍在书架上的难以置信的长时间,可以归因于多种因素。一方面,现代人们不得不应付工作的快节奏和不可避免的压力或生活;因此,他们几乎不能花时间去读书。另一方面,人们更倾向于物质至上涉及他们的社会地位、财富或得到晋升的前景,eclipse重要受益于阅读经典书籍。

对我来说,这是必要的对于大多数大学生读一些经典书籍,特别是由终身动机和睿智的思想,也不能保证他们短期的回报,但会带来深远的奖励。

"Book of medicine also, good reading can cure." Yes, now the society, newspapers, books and periodicals are all used to convey information, if a person is not reading, dont know the world, to keep up with the pace of the world, will be abandoned by the world.

Now, many encyclopedias, such as: "hundred thousand whys", the mystery of the world "and so on a wide variety, all kinds of books can give us many benefits, our world is so vast, some things in the world, and books have, encyclopedia like" dumb teachers diligently teach us knowledge. Visible, how useful book! Also, we learn knowledge also want to use in our daily life, to be accurate and determine whether to do so, the right to enrich our knowledge, the outside is good for our healthy growth. You said, a lot of the benefits of reading?

Nowadays, more and more of the books in the library, we should also learn to read and appreciate books, should put the book back on the in situ after the play, not just throw the place. Also, we must find a give us the knowledge of books to read, dont look at those who are not good for our growth.

In short, the benefits of reading. Come on! Let us to soar in the sky of knowledge fully!

“书犹药也，善读之可以医愈。”是啊，现在的社会，全都是用报纸、书刊来传达信息的，如果一个人不读书，就不会了解世界，跟不上世界的步伐，就会被世界所抛弃。

现在，许许多多的百科全书，如：《十万个为什么》、《世界未解之谜》等等五花八门、各种各样的书籍都能给我们许许多多的好处，我们的世界那么广阔，世界上有的东西，书本上也会有，百科全书就像“哑巴老师”一样孜孜不倦地教我们知识。可见，书多么有用啊!而且，我们学到的知识也要在日常生活中运用，要准确无误地判断这样做是否合适，从而丰富我们的课外知识，有利于我们健康的成长。你们说，读书的好处是不是很多呢?

如今，图书馆里的书越来越多，我们也要学会阅读和珍惜书本，看完后应该把书放回原位，而不是随便乱扔乱放。还有，我们一定要找给予我们知识的书阅读，不要看那些不益于我们成长的书。

总而言之，读书的好处数不胜数。来吧!让我们在知识的天空尽情地翱翔吧!

1907年，詹姆斯从哈佛大学退休，同时退休的还有他的好友物理学家卡尔森。一天,两人打赌。詹姆斯说:“我一定会让你不久就养上一只鸟的。”卡尔森不以为然：“我不信!因为我从来就没有想过要养一只鸟。”没过几天，恰逢卡尔森生日，詹姆斯送上了礼物—一只精致的鸟笼。卡尔森笑了：“我只当它是一件漂亮的工艺品。你就别费劲了。”从此以后,只要客人来访,看见书桌旁那只空荡荡的鸟笼，他们几乎都会无一例外地问：“教授,你养的鸟什么时候死了?”卡尔森只好一次次地向客人解释：“我从来就没有养过鸟。”然而，这种回答每每换来的却是客人困惑而有些不信任的目光。无奈之下，卡尔森教授只好买了一只鸟。

目标,让你获得成功

詹姆斯送给了卡尔森一只鸟笼，来拜访的卡尔森的人都问他养的鸟什么时候死了。而卡尔森从未养过鸟。卡尔森经不起不耐烦的一遍遍地解释，后来，不得已买了一只鸟养活。

卡尔森为何被迫养鸟?因为詹姆斯送的那只鸟笼。这只鸟笼想当一个目标，挂在那里，人们都知道你有了这个目标，就会不断地询问，目标什么时候实现。由此可见，目标可以给人带来动力，人们在它的指引下前进，从而拥有未来。

目标会指引人前进的方向。人的一生，总会有一段漫长的奋斗之路，而在奋斗的过程中，找准自己的方向至关重要。要做到这一点，就需要有一个长远的目标，这无疑是重中之重。美国哈佛大学有一项钟鸣的调查，其学生有10%没有目标，70%有目标却很短，只有20%有长远目标。十年后，再次调查，10%没有目标的人生活在社会的底层，70%有短目标的人过着吃饱穿暖的白领生活，而20%有长远目标的人基本都在各个领域取得了辉煌的成就。那10%没有目标的人在不如社会后，迷失了自己，找不准人生的方向，从而一事无成;70%有短目标的人达到目标后没有新的目标与前进的方向，因而止步不前;而20%有长远目标的人一直瞄准前进的方向而创造辉煌。因此说，有多大的目标，就产生多大的动力，就能支撑你走多远的路，目标能引领人前进。

目标给人迎难而上的勇气。每个人的前途和命运都不是一帆风顺的，有的甚至是命运多舛。那些成功的人士，即使外表光鲜，表情青松，也曾经灰头土脸，眉头紧蹙过。而他们与那些失败者有甚区别呢?他们的最大区别是，成功人士在失败后，不自暴自弃，而是愈挫愈勇，因为他们眼前有目标，心中有梦想。当他们迷茫时，总会有一把戒尺在警醒他们，有一种豪言壮语在激励他们，是他们产生无穷无尽的勇气和力量，是他们不惮前行。太史公司马迁之所以能够写完从传说中的黄帝到汉武帝太初四年一千三百多年的信使《史记》，是因为父命在身，清代史学家谈迁李静二十多年写完了一部史书《国榷》手稿丢失，万念俱焚的他重拾信心，坚定士气，又历时八年时间，终于写成了这部书。假如没有目标的支撑，哪来那么大的勇气?又哪有青史留名，造福后世的光耀千秋!

目标能决定人的生命价值。常言说得好，心有多大，世界就有多大;站得多高，看的就有多远;规划又多长远，目光有能看多长远。当年挥笔写下“少儿立志出乡关，学不成名誓不还”的毛泽东，用终身的努力，实现了宏达的志向，成为共和国的伟大领袖;当年在上小学的周恩来，就立下了“为中华崛起而读书”的宏大志向，并为之奋斗了一生，终于成为了共和国的奠基者;杂交水稻之父袁隆平，很早就立下了远大的目标，让水稻高产，解决人们吃放的问题，经过几十年的奋斗，终于实现了这一目标，成就了一代人的梦想。

亲爱的朋友，让我们树立起远大的目标，并为之不懈的努力吧!“有志者，事竟成，破釜沉舟，百二雄关终属楚;苦心人，天不负，卧薪尝胆，三千越甲可吞吴。”

【修改与点评】1.题目:”目标,让你获得成功”从另一个角度,解读材料,挖掘其深刻含意,”鸟笼”就是目标,有了它才能填充内容,即”买鸟”.2.围绕论点,分别从三个不同角度论述,目标与方向的关系,目标与勇气的关系,目标与生命的价值的关系.3.结尾运用对联,升华中心。

Books are the ladder of human progress, like a spring of a wisp of dawn, a moonlight, comfortable, warm and soft.

And I was not in the said the words, nor in talks over my head, I just use the most real, the most substantial feel describe the pleasure of reading.

Each time I see a wonderful plots, I continue to see the tail will involuntarily, even if the book turns bad, also wanting more. It is a kind of power to promote my aggressive!

Reading let me understand a lot of unprecedented knowledge, also let me realize a strange feeling, his open mind let me know what is and what sincere gentleman, let me understand that there is a high realm from person to person. To sum up, in a few words I can read well, above the reading of the joy.

书籍是人类进步的阶梯，像一泓清泉，一缕晨曦，一丝月光，舒心，温暖又柔和。

我并没有在自说自话，也没有在故弄玄虚，我只是在用最真切，最充实的感受描述着读书的乐趣。

我自幼酷爱读书。至今为止，什么四大名著，百家姓，三字经，唐诗宋词，诗经离骚，就算背也是绰绰有余。在读书这条无尽的银河中，我摘取了许多智慧，快乐的繁星，他们拨动着我的心弦，激荡着我跳动的书欲，让我一次又一次的坠入书海。每每看到一个精彩的情节，我便会不由自主的继续看到尾，就算把书翻烂了，也意犹未尽。它是促进我进取的一种动力!

读书让我明白很多前所未有的知识，也让我体会到一种莫名的感觉，他让我明白什么是虚怀若谷，什么事诚信谦和，让我明白人与人之间还有一种高境界。总而言之，三言两语说不清读书的好，道不明读书的乐。

Passage Two

Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.

The worlds environment is surprisingly healthy. Discuss. If that were an examination topic, most students would tear it apart, offering a long list of complaints: from local smog(烟雾)to global climate change, from the felling(砍伐)of forests to the extinction of species. The list would largely be accurate, the concern legitimate. Yet the students who should be given the highest marks would actually be those who agreed with the statement. The surprise is how good things are, not how bad.

After all, the worlds population has more than tripled during this century, and world output has risen hugely, so you would expect the earth itself to have been affected. Indeed, if people lived, consumed and produced things in the same way as they did in 1900 , the world by now would be a pretty disgusting place: smelly, dirty, toxic and dangerous.

But they dont. The reasons why they dont, and why the environment has not been ruined, have to do with prices, technological innovation, social change and government regulation in response to popular pressure. That is why todays environmental problems in the poor countries ought, in principle, to be solvable.

Raw materials have not run out, and show no sign of doing so. Logically, one day they must: the planet is a finite place. Yet it is also very big, and man is very ingenious. What has happened is that every time a material seems to be running short, the price has risen and, in response, people have looked for new sources of supply, tried to find ways to use less of the materials, or looked for a new substitute. For this reason prices for energy and for minerals have fallen in real terms during the century. The same is true for food. Prices fluctuate, in response to harvests, natural disasters and political instability; and when they rise, it takes some time before new sources of supply become available. But they always do, assisted by new farming and crop technology. The long-term trend has been downwards.
