烟里有一种对人身体不好的东西——尼古丁。
一枝香烟中的尼古丁可以毒死一只小白鼠,25g的香烟里的尼古丁可 毒死几头牛,40至60毫克纯尼古丁可以毒死一个人。
尼古丁的危害也是相当的大,它可以引起胃痛或其它胃病;还会使人引起心律不正诱发心脏病;严重的还可能引起癌症的爆发。
香烟是隐藏在我们身边的隐形杀手,是大家所应警惕的。
据科学家测定,烟草中含有数百种复杂的化学成分,大部分对人体有害,其中焦油、尼古丁、酚类、醇类、酸类、醛类等40种是有毒和有致癌作用的物质。烟在点燃后,所产生的烟雾,包含了烟草中所有的化学成分,同时比烟草本身又增加了一些有害物质,如一氧化碳和烟焦油等。这是因为除烟草本身外,在制成卷烟的过程中,要在原料中加入一些可可、甘草、糖、甘油、乙二醇等调味、湿润、产香、助燃物质。这些添加剂虽然本身无害,但在燃烧过程中却起了变化。例如,在鼠背涂上可可燃烧后产生的烟油,可长出皮肤瘤。甘草中的甘草酸在燃烧后,与其他成分化合,可生成有致癌作用的多环芳烃。糖与烟草一起燃烧后增加了焦油量,而糖燃烧后的产物是烟中的一个重要致癌物。甘油和乙二醇在燃烧后的物质,不但可能使吸烟者患膀胱癌,而且所产生的丙烯醛可抑制气管和纤毛分泌物从肺内排出,从而增加患气管炎和肺气肿的机会,并使患有这两种病的人病情加重。
烟对人的危害是多么大啊!所以我们不能吸烟。杜绝吸烟,造福后人。
篇6:高二英语作文:时间未必等于金钱
全文共 801 字
+ 加入清单导语:有句老话是时间等于金钱。但时间真的一定等于金钱吗?以下是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的英语作文,欢迎阅读与借鉴,谢谢!
As a popular saying goes, Time is money. But does time definitely mean money? I dont think so. First of all, time is more precious than money. When money is spent, you can earn it back if you want to. However,when time is gone, it will never come back. To some extent, time is priceless. Second, not all time can be turned into money in the end. Some persons are idling all the time. Their time is just for wasting, not for earning money. They will end in nothing at last. So be sure to remember that time can be turned into money only with hard work involved in it.
【翻译】
时间未必等于金钱 有句老话是时间等于金钱。但时间真的一定等于金钱吗?未必。首先时间比金钱宝贵。金钱花完还可以再挣,而时间如果浪费了就一去不复返了。因此某种程度上,时间是无价的。其次,并不是所有的时间都能变为金钱。有些人整日游手好闲,他们的时间是用来浪费的,而不是用来挣钱的,最终将一无所得。因此务必要记住,只有努力工作,时间才能等于金钱。

+ 加入清单If I were a boy again, I would practice perseverance more often, and never
give up a thing because it was or inconvenient. if we want light, we must
conquer darkness. perseverance can sometimes equal genius in its results. “there
are only two creatures,” says a proverb, “who can surmount the pyramids—the
eagle and the snail.”
if i were a boy again, I would school myself into a habit of attention; i
would let nothing come between me and the subject in hand. i would remember that
a good skater never tries to skate in two directions at once.the habit of
attention becomes part of our life, if we begin early enough. i often hear grown
up people say “ i could not fix my attention on the sermon or book, although I
wished to do so” , and the reason is, the habit was not formed in youth.
if I were to live my life over again, I would pay more attention to the
cultivation of the memory. I would strengthen that faculty by every possible
means, and on every possible occasion. it takes a little hard work at first to
remember things accurately; but memory soon helps itself, and gives very little
trouble. it only needs early cultivation to become a power.

appearances.
I was afraid of my uncle who has a scared tattoo on his arm till my mother
told me a “story”. When I was a three-year-old naught boy, I always ran around
the neighborhood with my toy saber. Unfortunately, one day I hit a wild dog by
accident. The dog became crazy and tried to bite me. It was that time my uncle
appeared and protected me with his strong arm. However, this accident left a
scar on his arm. My uncle went to get a tattoo in order to cover up the scars.
From that moment, he is my hero in stead of a bad looking uncle.
So we need to go beyond peoples looks and focus on more internal spirits
in order to truly judge a person.
