At the coming of the new year, it is also the time for one of the biggest

tennis matches, the Australian Open. Since Li Na won her second grand slam here,

more Chinese people fall in love with tennis. One of the popular male players,

Roger Federer, who is more than 30, but he is still in the top level. The fans

hope their hero can enjoy the match and they didn’t expect the next grand slam.

我朋友家有一只小狗，叫帅帅 。帅帅很可爱，一身雪白的皮毛，脑门上竖着两只小小的耳朵，水汪汪的大眼睛嵌在小鼻子上面。对了，还有一条短短的尾巴。

第一次见它的时候，它一见我来就开始狂吠，看样子很不欢迎我。但是现在它看见我不像之前那么陌生了，而是欢快地迎接我。

有一次。它一个人在外面玩耍，看见另一条小狗，它们不知为什么就打起来了，显然另一条小狗打不赢帅帅就灰溜溜地走了。帅帅很高兴，就蹭了蹭主人的身子。

它到我家玩的时候，打碎过我的杯子，把我心爱的本子分成五本，把我的作业咬成一片片“雪花”，把我家的沙发当成自己的蹦蹦床。这些事情被我家人看见了，就连忙把帅帅赶走了。我不知道大人们为什么都不喜欢小狗，应该是因为太脏了吧！但我还是很喜欢帅帅。 帅帅是那么生气勃勃、天真可爱。

As is often read in the newspaper reports, wild life especially the rare species is threatened with extinction. Human beings are making attempts to hunt wild animals for a big profit., which, of course, results in a sharp decrease in the number of animals. So it is high time for us to take quick action to protect them. First of all, it’s quite necessary for every citizen to realize the importance of animal protection. Only by knowing its importance can people develop a sense of .

Animals are our friends.But how to protect them? government is working to protect all animals in danger,and has made lots of plans to save animals. On the other hand, we shouldn’t eat wild animals.We should keep them away from our dinner. That way,there will not be wild animals on sale. I think the hunters and killers will become fewer and fewer.

Last, we should protect the environment.We should stop people from cutting trees down. Without trees, wild animals will lose their home. And we will lose our animal friends. All of us should try our best to protect animals.

We need to protect animals better.We should give them fresh water to drink.We should make the forests bigger for animals in danger to live in.We should advice people not to kill animals beacause they are our friends!

It is suggested that people have been aware of the issue--lack of preservation for endangered spieces, animals and plants, but as you see , they placed little efforts to cope with the problem.despite the versatility and intricacy of instruments , I would pore over some of the most striking ones and offer alternatives afterwards.

这表明人们已经意识到这个问题——濒危物种保护的不足，动物和植物，但正如你所看到的，他们把小的努力来应对problem.despite的多样性和复杂性的工具，我会在一些最引人注目的和提供选择之后。

One of the major reasons , causing peoples inocence of protecting animals, is that the government did not function well as an educator, arosing peoples initiative in shielding wild animals, which led to the consequence that people do not know their responsibility to prevent animals from dangers, and specific knowledge in guarding them. what is equally important as the reason mentioned above is that media did not meet our satisfaction to inform the mass of the emergency which is crutial in arousing peoples conciousness to keep animals safe.

其中一个主要原因，引起人们的灵感保护动物，是政府不作为一个教育工作者的作用，调动人的主动性保护野生动物，其中LED的后果，人们不知道他们的防止动物从危险责任，和看守他们的具体知识。同样重要的是上面提到的原因是媒体没有我们满意通知紧急，唤醒人们的意识使动物安全是重要的质量。

In spite of the serious problem, measure leading to profound improvement still can be taken. owning to the fact that funds are insufficient in some developing countries, developed countries or international organizations should shoulder more burden -- finacing them in order to capacitate them to accompolish the protection of animals. at the same time, education in telling people the way to make animals harboured ought to be focused on, thus resulting in peoples better awareness in the camouflage of our planets cutest creatures.

尽管在这个严重的问题，导致深刻的改善措施仍然可以采取。由于资金不足，在一些发展中国家，发达国家和国际组织应承担更多的负担——融资以使他们实现保护动物。同时，在告诉人们如何使动物怀有应该集中在教育，从而导致人们更好的认识在我们星球上最可爱的生物的伪装。

It is belived by me that if correct actions are taken to preserve animals, any kind of them will be far away from extinction forever.

这是我认为，如果采取正确的行动来保护动物，任何一种他们将永远远离灭绝。

上次，我的英语月考成绩低得可怜，因为我没复习阅读的部分。所以这次我决定一雪前耻。考试的前几天，我每天回到家，就打开书，不断的重复阅读那几段要考的故事，希望可以有好成绩。

终于等到了考试的这一天，我的神经不停的抽搐着，不时的绷着，我留了一身冷汗，看着老师发着考卷，我吞了口口水，看着考卷传了下来，我颤抖着双手，拿着考卷，笔拿了起来，那枝笔似乎比平常来得要重，我用那只沉重的笔，开始了这场令人神经紧绷的考试。

每写完一大题，我的情绪就越紧张，因为那阅读的部分在我写完一大题，就会离我越近。危机逼近，我的皮随着也紧了起来。我在心里不断的念念有词：“要来啦！要来啦！它要来啦！”但是当我望向时钟，心里疑惑着：“怪了！过了这么久，考卷也即将要写完了，怎么还不见噩梦来袭呢？”

“叮─当─叮─咚”，洪亮的钟声刚好响起，我即时写完了！但是我的天敌却始终没有出现，难道说这次月考没有“阅读”这一大题？看来我真是白紧张了！不过，往好的方面想，这次的考试简单多了，也就是说，拿满分的机率很高。我放下了心中的大石，心想着：“这就是塞翁失马，焉知非福”吧！

Dolphin is my favourite animal.

It is one of the most precious animals. Their bodies are very long, about one zhang(丈). Dolphins live in the sea. They live on fish, shrimps and so on.

Dolphins are very friendly and peaceful. They never attack people. Instead, they have saved many people in danger in the past years. How helpful the dolphins are!

Dolphins are very clever. People often train them so that they can give a dolphin show which brings people a lot of happiness and joy.

Unluckily, the number of dolphins is getting smaller and smaller. Because of water pollution, there is less and less space for dolphins. Many people make money by hunting dolphins. If we don’t protect them, maybe we’ll lose our good friends one day. As a student, I hope more and more people should take actions to protect dolphins.

Grilled chicken. The roast duck. All kinds of meat, already is normal on table a "routine". Television also reported many save a national protected animal, encourages people from all over the world to protect animals. But, why do some people will do whatever it takes to save animals, and some will be on the table for people to enjoy? Not advocate protect animals?

The answer is very simple, because people at all costs to save animals is called "the state-level protection", and was called "poultry" on the table. Why is that? They are also lively individual life; There are also mom and dad love; a lovely kid The same is collectively known as animals. However, why? To protect rare animals, but more to eat. Side in the title of "animal protection", there are big mouth to bite a serve fish or fowl.

烤鸡;烤鸭;各种各样的野味，早就是餐桌上见怪不怪的一道“家常便饭”了。电视上也报道过不少拯救国家级保护动物的节目，提倡世界各地的人们要保护动物。可是，为什么有的动物人们会不惜一切代价去挽救，而一些就要被摆在餐桌上供人们享用呢?不是提倡保护动物吗?

答案很简单，因为人们不惜一切代价拯救的动物叫“国家级保护”，而被摆在餐桌上的叫“家禽”。为什么?它们同样是活泼可爱的生命个体;同样是有爸爸妈妈疼爱的乖小孩;同样是被人们统称为动物。可是为什么?稀少的动物要保护，而多的却要吃掉。这边打着“保护动物”的头衔，那边却大口大口地咬着鸡鸭鱼肉。为什么那些国家级一出生就要被保护起来，过着比某些弱势群体还要舒服，而家禽一出生就是养大，等待它们的就是残忍的虐杀，然后做成各式各样的美味，被摆在餐桌上，就是为了吃它们的肉。

难道它们的生命不是生命吗?为什么要这样对待它们呢?如果有一天，换我们自己要被它们杀掉，然后做成各式各样的美味，供它们享用，我们自己的感受会是怎样的呢?

虽然我不是什么大作家，不能用很美的句子打动你们的心，但我想说的永远只有一个：同样是生命就应该受到尊重，我们没有权利决定别人的生死，饲养它们，充其量就是一个爱心的行为举动。

它们的生命也是生命，看完，请您保护您身边弱小的生命，谢谢!

Recently I have seen such a story, the story on the way to save a giant snake women in banda aceh in Indonesias aceh province provincial capital, a woman under the guidance of a serpent, arrived in safety. 26-year-old woman riza said, on December 26, 2004, she lives in a village was flooded with waves, panic in the people running for their lives.

At this time, a female neighbor because of badly wounded, riza, please take your a pair of twins, she then back up the twins. To fight with in the jet stream, she saw a big snake down the flood from the left to swim, she is just like the serpent has been to swim, the results arrived in a safe place. After the event, riza said: "very strange when meet the serpent, I do not feel panic." Moreover, the serpent did not bite them.

Yes, as long as we treat animals, animals will be kind to you, but if you hurt the animals, which hurt just dont know is you a person but a human. In recent years my human destruction of the food chain, all the time and so many animals die because we humans, spirited, extinction. Some even have some rare animals fur to make clothes for money! Some people regard animals as the experiment, according to statistics, there are 2.5 million animals die each year from drug test, in this world, animals are used in shampoo, cosmetics, cancer drug test, although it is not the same with animals, but people and animals have the same right to life, they also have a desire to survive, so human cant go to such a large number of experimenting on animals. Now so many animals came to attack us, because we damage to them, so want to animals will also be kind to you, you will be kind to animals.

最近我看到过一个这样的故事，这个故事讲着一条巨蛇引路救妇女是在在印尼亚齐省省会班达亚齐，一名女子在一条大蛇的指引下，抵达安全地点。26岁女子丽扎说，2004年12月26日，她住的村落被巨浪淹没，慌乱中人们纷纷逃命。

这时，一名女邻居因为受了重伤，请丽扎带自己的一对双胞胎逃生，她于是背起了双胞胎。在与急流搏斗时，她看见一条大蛇从左侧顺着洪流游去，她就跟大蛇一直游，结果抵达了安全的地方。事后，丽扎说："很奇怪，当时见到大蛇，我并不感到惊慌。"而且，大蛇也没有咬她们。

是啊，只要我们善待动物，那么动物也会善待你，但如果你伤害了动物，哪受伤害的就不知是你一个人而是人类。就在近些年来我人类时时刻刻都在破坏着生物链，而因此许多动物都因为我们人类的搏杀而死亡、灭绝。甚至有些人为了钱把一些珍稀动物的皮毛做成衣服!还有些人把动物当成了实验品，据统计每年有250万的动物死于药物试验，在这个世界，动物们被用于洗发水，化妆品，癌症药品的试验，人虽然与动物是不相同的，但人与动物却有着相同的生存权利，它们也有求生的欲望，所以人类不能去这样大量的用动物做试验。现在之所以这么多的动物都来攻击我们，是因为我们对他们的破坏，所以要想动物也会善待你，你就要善待动物。

Now I have made great progress. Several of my research papers have been published. The methods proposed in my papers have been proven to be valuable for the solution of some problems. I am very happy.The ladder of becoming a scientist is still far ahead, but I have climbed the first rung anyway.

蓝蓝的天空白云飘，晴空万里当头照”，当听到这句歌词时，此处的情景已如词里所形容的的一样了。太阳当头照酷暑无处逃。唉—曾经绿树成荫的小村如今都建起了小洋房。在这样的新纪元里，人类在一点点的现代化，而地球却开始一点点的变得伤痕累累，变得不堪重负。

据研究，在绿化覆盖率达30%的地段，空气中的致癌物质可下降58%，二氧化碳至少下降90%，可如今不要说那些大城市，就是连我们这个小乡村都难逃厄运。

植物同样是生命体，人们在享受它给我们生活提供丰富的资源，带给我们无数便利的同时，应该学会感恩。我可以随手举个例子：植物对空气中的灰尘有良好的过滤和吸收作用，据了解，大气通过林带，可使尘量减少32%，飘尘量减少30%！

亲爱的同学们，绿化能带给我们生活许多好处，我们为何不行动起来呢？那就让我们携起手来，按照生态文明的要求，珍爱自然，保护环境，我们的明天一定会更加美好！

Pressure seems to be a natural part in our daily life in this competitive

society. Like it or not there is always pressure of one kind or another. And it

seems there is hardly any way to avoid it or get rid of it. Moreover, as the

pace of modern life continues to quicken, pressure seems to be on the increase

all the time.

Different people have different ideas about pressure. Some hold that

pressure is something very vicious. If there is too much of it, it will lead to

the decline of ones physical and mental health. So they are always complaining

about it or trying to flee from it. They think, only relaxation, the opposite of

pressure, is what we should desire. On the other hand, others argue that

pressure is not as bad as is often thought. In fact a certain amount of pressure

is essential to provide motivation and meaning to our life. It is pressure that

propels our progress and contributes to our success.

Personally, Im in favor of the latter idea. I believe that a little

pressure is certainly an important incentive in life. It is only when the

pressure gets out of control can it lead to poor performance and bad health.

Since it is impossible to avoid pressure, certainly there is no sense trying to

do so or complaining about it.

nimals are natural resources that people have wasted all through our history. Animals have been killed for their fur and feathers, for food, for sport, and simply because they were in the way. Thousands of kinds of animals have disappeared from the earth forever. Hundreds more are on the danger list today. About 170 kinds in the United States alone are considered in danger.

Why should people care? Because we need animals, and because once they are gone, there will never be any more. Animals are more than just beautiful or interesting. They are more than just a source of food. Every animal has its place in the balance of nature. Destroying one kind of animal can create many problems. For example, when farmers killed large numbers of hawks, the farmers stores of corn and grain were destroyed by rats and mice. Why? Because hawks eat rats and mice, with no hawks to keep down their numbers, the rats and mice multiplied quickly.

Luckily, some people are working to help save the animals. Some groups raise money to let people know about the problem. And they try to get the governments to pass laws protecting animals in danger. Quite a few countries have passed laws. These laws forbid the killing of any animal or planton the danger list. Slowly, the number of some animals in danger is growing.

动物是自然资源，在整个历史过程中，人类一直在糟蹋着这种资源。人们杀死动物，获得它们的皮毛，把它们当作食物或运动方式，或者只是因为它们碍事。成千上万种动物已经从这个地球上永远地消失了。现在另外上百种动物也上了濒危动物名单。仅荚国大概就有170种被认为处于危险当中。

为什么人们应该感到担忧呢?因为我们需要动物，因为它们一旦消失，就永远不会再出现。动物不仅仅是漂亮或有趣。它们不仅仅是人类的食物来源。在维持自然平衡中，每种动物都有其作用。毁灭某种动物会导致许多问题。比如，农民们如果杀死为数众多的鹰，他们谷物和粮食的仓库就会受到老鼠和田鼠的破坏。 为什么?因为鹰吃鼠类，没有鹰控制它们的数量，鼠类就会迅速繁殖。

幸运的是，有些人正在努力帮助拯救这些动物。有些组织筹钱以便人们了解这一问题。他们也努力使政府通过保护濒危动物的法律。很多国家已经通过了法律。这些法

律禁止杀害濒危名单上的动植物。某些濒危动物的数目正在慢慢地不断上升。
