在未来有一个山青水秀的城市，山上的森林郁郁葱葱；小溪的河水清澈见底；空气清新甜润。那里没有工厂排出的浓烟，没有河上漂浮的塑料袋，没有被砍伐的树木，只有一片的绿色。

在未来，人类与动植物和平相处，*变成了一只只的小鸟，电锯变成了一棵棵粗壮、结实、挺拔的大树，原子弹在博物馆展出，而工厂的烟囱被拆掉，铺成了湛蓝深远的天空……那时世界上已经没有了“笼子”这个词，处处可见人类和动物一起散步、做游戏的场景。为此，人类还建了一所学校来培养未成年人、动物，教学楼上闪着十二个金灿灿的大字：“大家和谐相处，共建美好家园！”

然而，未来也可能是另外一种景像：一排排的工厂整齐的被建在山坡上，它排出的浓烟把原本瓦蓝瓦蓝的天空污染成了灰色。河水变得臭了、黑了，树木被砍光了，裸露的树桩上有许多的、白色的塑料袋。许多年以后，一场沙尘暴彻底改变了这一切，那一天，沙尘暴铺天盖地地袭来，整个世界昏天暗地，沙尘暴一直刮了九天九夜，所有的城市、工厂全变成了沙漠，一切都消失了。

小朋友，以上两种未来城市你想让世界变成哪一种呢？如果想要第一种，就赶快保护环境，行动起来吧！

Now, the earths environment continued to deteriorate, give people brought a lot of disaster, all this comes from peoples pollution. Want to let her to reduce pollution, only environmental protection.

现在，地球环境持续恶化，给人们带来了许多灾难，这一切都来自人们的污染。想要让她减少污染，只有环保。

生活里，环保随处可见，比如：节约水资源，少用塑料袋，利用太阳能、水力发电。宣传环保的人也多了，有说地球在哭泣，请保护环境的;也有说保护环境，人人有责的，各种各样，五花八门。但也有人不爱惜地球，依旧我行我素：浪费纸张，浪费水资源，开汽车。

一次，我在街头看见一个人在抽烟，抽完后连烟头也不灭，直接扔在了地上。接着，他又开始吃瓜子，吃完的壳随便一吐。我实在看不下去，就对他说：“怎么能这样呢?”他说：“一个小孩子，懂什么呀，走开。我没有害怕，对他说：“我虽然小，但也知道这样不对，何况你大人!而且你还直接把烟头扔在地上，万一现在天气干燥，引起火灾怎么办。”停了停，说，“还有瓜子壳，人家看了怎么想啊，你这是在影响环境。”那人低下头，没有说话，我想他会改正的。

还有一次，我到堂弟家做客，看见他洗手时把水开得很大，洗完手后他还用很多纸擦手。我看了后对他说：“你怎么这么浪费呀?”他听后，撅着嘴对我说：“就这么一点，又没什么关系!”我生气地说：“这怎么会没关系呢?你知不知道那些贫困山区的孩子们一天只喝多少水?知不知道他们只有多少纸?”可我那不服输的堂弟却理直气壮地说：“不知道!”我叹了口气说：“我们比他们要幸福多了，你怎么不知道知足呢?”这时，堂弟知道了事情的“重要性”，低着头说：“我知道错了，我会改正的。”

让我们从我做起，保护我们唯一的大家园吧!

Create a Green Campus

It is of great importance to make and maintain a green campus in our university or college. Obviously， a growing number of people are beginning to realize that it is our duty to do that in the present days， since the concept of “a green world” has become the focus of the society. The idea of “a green campus” is beyond a green environment. To begin with， the development on the campus is to be sustainable and recyclable. Some of the authorities’ budget should be on how to reduce of the waste. What’s more， we’d better be aware of the seriousness of pollution around us. Thus the idea of environmental protection may become a common occurrence in our daily life. It is necessary that effective actions should be taken to protect our campus from waste and pollution， and hence these activities are to play an increasingly important role in our day-to-day life. Certainly， there is little doubt that further consideration must be paid to our green campuses.

With the development of our society and economy,people are confronting with serious environmental problem,including environment pollution and resource scarity.So for modern college students,it is of great importance to create and maintain a green campus in our university.

As we all known,the idea of green campus has become the focus of the most colleagues.What measures should we take to creat green campus?As far as were concerned we can take action from the following two aspects.Firstly,wed better be aware of the seriousness of pollution around us and the importance of protection of environment.Only in this way ,the idea of environmental protection may become a common action in our daily life.Secondly,it is necessary for us to take effectie measure to protect our campus from pollution and waste,for example,we may call on student to save water and electricity and refuse sorting equipment treatment by the way of the slogan or other effective form of our purpose of make green campus.

Certainly there is no doubt that the further consideration must be paid to our green campus.And there is an increasing number of college students will participate in the action which is meaningful for our development.Under everyones joint effort,I believe that our environment

will become more and more beautiful.

As we all know,a better result of study can be brought by a better study environment.As a result,it is necessary for us to build the green campus.The green campus can not only provide a good environment for our study,but also be a part of build the harmonious society.

The green campus is not only the environmental being green,but also the sprite being green,which means we should do other things like helping each other or caring each other.Therefore,we should both beautify the campus environment and create a campus culture.

As university students,we enjoy the campus time while we have responsibility to build our green campus.In spiritual term,we should respect teachers,classmates and other people work for the school.In environmental term,we should have good habits to keep campus in a clean surrounding.

World Environment Day is commemorated each year on June 5th, and started from 1972, which is established by the United Nations General Assembly for raising global awareness to take actions to protect the Nature. The establishment of World Environment Day shows peoples the cognition and the attitude to the environmental problem, and expresses our human beings desire of pursuing the better environment. Every year the United Nations Environment Program proposes a theme, and the 2014 theme of this day will focus onSmall Island and Climate changeand the slogan is “Raise Your Voice Not the Sea Level”.This years slogan is "To improve environmental quality The development of green".

World Environment Day can be celebrated in lots of ways, for instances, planting trees, doing some recycling, participating the clean-up campaigns and so on. Certainly people can also do something simple, like going to work by bus instead of private cars. I believe if everyone takes environmental actions as a habit, we are doing a big difference for the better environment.

cars have created a lot of serious problems in our world. all the time, they are pumping huge amounts of waste gases into the atmosphere, causing disease and even death.

one possible solution is to design and develop clean cars and clean fuels. but it may take decades for the new models to completely replace the traditional ones.

another solution is to develop modern public transportation systems and restrict the use of private cars. if the price of petrol rises constantly and the public vehicles are efficient and convenient enough, most people will not drive private cars. on the whole, the elimination of air pollution needs the co-efforts from the government and the public. this problem will be solved only with the help of science and technology.

Everyone should protect the environment, this is the law of nature, if not protect the environment, the world will be contaminated.

To protect the environment from every bit of small start, and I have not done well. Have a New Year, we went to shun feng mountain park, riding a bicycle, we were hungry, we bought a small bag of snacks to eat, while I, eat snacks, I happy too much because it is over, so casually took me to once eat 7 packet snacks packaging thrown on the ground, and then I went in a convenience store in watching TV, while todays TV is very good-looking, half an hour later, I put the mother with all I said before, all my thoughts are indulged in the drama. After 30 minutes, I didnt think of it, but, at that time, his mother angry of say: "you this smelly wenches, didnt I tell you before to protect the environment, you forget?" I said: "Im not forget, I just from watching TV." Mother said: "some important watching TV, or picking up litter some important?" I said: "rubbish." Mother said: "you hurry up to pick up."

And then, I picked up a small pile of junk, throw in the trash, I apologized to his mother not only, I also to shun feng mountain park, sweep the floor every aunt to recognize the fault. Because, if everyone throw a piece of garbage on the ground, and then will add burden to clean the aunt. If you see a piece of garbage on the ground, then you are curved waist, and activities, do a man to protect the environment, is to clean the aunt to reduce burden...

, although it has been over the past year, I learned about it, if the world all throw a piece of garbage on the ground, the whole earth will become a waste, so each of us should protect the environment, protect the earth, the world will be more beautiful!

人人都要保护环境，这是大自然的规律，如果不保护环境，世界就会被污染。

保护环境是从一点一滴的小事做起，而我却没有做好。有一次过新年，我们去顺峰山公园游玩，骑完自行车，我们个个都饿了，我们买了一小包零食来吃，而我，吃完零食，我因为高兴过头了，所以随手就把我吃过的7包零食的包装扔在地上，然后我进去便利店里面看电视，尽管今天的电视剧很好看，过了半个小时，我把以前妈妈跟我说的话忘得一干二净，我所有的心思都沉迷在这个电视剧里面。在过了三十分钟，我才想起来，可是，这时候，妈妈生气的走过来说：“你这个臭丫头，难道我以前跟你说的要保护环境，你都忘了吗?”我说：“我不是忘了，我只是顾着看电视。”妈妈说：“看电视重要一些，还是捡垃圾重要一些?”我说：“捡垃圾。”妈妈说：“那你快点捡呀。”

然后，我捡起一小堆垃圾，扔进垃圾桶，我不但向妈妈认错了，我也向顺峰山公园的每一个扫地阿姨认了错。因为，如果每个人都扔一块垃圾在地面，那么就会给清洁阿姨增加负担。如果你看见一块垃圾在地面，那你就弯弯腰，动动手，做一个保护环境的人，那么就会给清洁阿姨减少负担……

虽然这件事已经过去一年了，但是，这件事让我学会了，如果世界上都扔一块垃圾在地面，那么整个地球就会变成一片废区，所以我们每个人都要保护环境，保护地球，世界才会更美好!

How Freshmen Adapt to the New Environment?

When freshmen enter the university at the first time they have to deal with all kinds of affairs independently.Whether a new student can understand and become familiar with the environment of the campus rapidly will determine whether he can live and study freely.

Firstly,the freshmen should be familiar with layout of the campus as soon as possible.As soon as freshmen arrange properly their luggage after entering the university,they should familiarise themselves with every location in the campus at once.In this way,they will save more time and get along smoother than others when they go through various kinds of formalities and solve various kinds of problems.

Secondly,freshmen should consult seniors more. It is the swiftest method to ask those familiar with the environment of the campus.

Finally,holding certain positions in the class can also help freshmen to adapt to their life on campus.

假如你是新华中学的学生，名叫MIKE。去年6月1日，我国已经禁止使用塑料袋，你对此有何看法和什么好的建议？

I’m Mike. I am a student in Huaxing Middle School. Do you know the plastic bags? Do you often use the plastic bags? I don’t like them. I think they use the wasting valuable oil their production. And they can’t decompose(分解) in a short time. The plastic bags will make our world worse. I agree with the rule, which people can’t get the free plastic bags in the shops, supermarkets. It encourages people to use their cloth bags and baskets. It’s good for our environment.

So I hope all the students in our class stop to use the plastic bags, and use our own cloth bags. I hope we can take care of our environment.

Let’s make our world more and more beautiful.

我是迈克。我是新华中学的学生。你知道塑料袋吗？你经常用塑料袋吗？我不喜欢他们。我想他们用的是浪费宝贵的石油生产。他们不能分解（分解）在很短的时间。塑料袋会使我们的世界变得更糟。我同意这一规定，在商店、超市里，人们无法得到免费的塑料袋。它鼓励人们用自己的布袋和篮子。这对我们的环境有好处。

所以我希望我们班的所有同学都停止使用塑料袋，并用自己的布袋。我希望我们能照顾我们的环境。

让我们让我们的世界变得越来越美丽。

理想的学校,即一所好学校,总的评判标准是其在育人方面的贡献程度.而要有高质量的教育教学水平,我认为有以下方面.

首先,在器物层面上,我认为一所好学校不一定要有现代的高楼大厦,简朴、富有文化底蕴的建筑物或许更有利于教育教学.但是,良好的绿化环境和干净整洁的面貌必不可少.

其次,在制度层面,学校要有高效率的管理制度、教学制度.这些制度好比人体的骨架,起着贯穿和支撑全局的作用.

再次,在精神层面,学校要有先进的、明确的办学理念,这是学校一切教育教学活动的指导思想.

最后,教育是培养人的活动,由教师具体完成.一所学校必须有高水平的教师,所谓高水平包括：扎实的专业知识、过硬的教学能力、良好的道德素养等等.

拥有以上几点,即是我梦想的学校.

森林里，树木成群，百花盛开。啄木鸟像往常一样，停在一棵树上东啄啄，西啄啄，在给大树治病。

突然，它看见一位不速之客——一位伐木工人，正拿着一把柴刀在砍树，一边还悠闲地抽着烟。“啪嗒”一声，烟头还没熄灭就被他无情地摔到了地上。难道他不知道，没熄灭的烟头会引起火灾吗?看着他目不转睛，两眼放光的样子，一定看见了许多钞票朝他飞来了吧!啄木鸟气愤的暗想道，顿时升起了一股无名之火!啄木鸟飞快地飞到那个伐木工人的背上，用尖尖的嘴巴啄他的脑袋。一边啄，一边暗想：看来槐树爷爷的话真没有错，人类的脑子里真的有“贪婪虫”!要不然，干嘛砍树呢?干嘛破坏资源，干嘛破坏环境呢?干脆，做做善事，给这段木头治治病吧!那位伐木工人突遭啄木鸟袭击，一时没反应过来，愣了一下便飞快地扔下柴刀捂着脑袋就跑了!

透过这幅漫画，透露出了人的无穷无尽的贪婪和欲望。借着这幅漫画讽刺了人类，告诫人们要珍惜资源，保护环境!是的!雨果曾经说过，让风沙不再猖狂，换地球一片绿色铺垫!人类破坏了自然环境，也受到了应有的惩罚，沙尘暴，泥石流，干旱，洪水泛滥等数不清的自然灾难接踵而来。造成了无数人的牺牲，是人类应受的。

作文【一】

One day Sun Wukong together with his master and brothers was walking across a river. Suddenly his master fell off the horse by the bad smell of river water. They found the water so dirty that they could hardly breathe.

A lot of factories along the river always poured their waste water and rubbish straight into the river which made the river water polluted. In this way most of the fish in the river were killed. If the river water all over the country is polluted like this, no living things will exist in the water. Now more and more people have come to realize how serious this problem is. Our government is doing her best to take measures to fight against pollution. We expect that the water in every river will be made cleaner and cleaner before long.

作文【二】

There are still many problems of environmental protection in recent years. One of the most serious problems is the serious pollution of air, water and soil. the polluted air does great harm to people’s health. The polluted water causes diseases and death. What is more, vegetation had been greatly reduced with the rapid growth of modern cities.

To protect the environment, governments of many countries have done a lot. Legislative steps have been introduced to control air pollution, to protect the forest and sea resources and to stop any environmental pollution. Therefore, governments are playing the most important role in the environmental protection today.

In my opinion, to protect environment, the government must take even more concrete measures. First, it should let people fully realize the importance of environmental protection through education. Second, much more efforts should be made to put the population planning policy into practice, because more people means more people means more pollution. Finally, those who destroy the environment intentionally should be severely punished. We should let them know that destroying environment means destroying mankind themselves.

Dear editor,

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. Because of population expansion and overdevelopment, resources has become less and less. Trees on the hills have been cut down, and waste water is being poured continuously into rivers. 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 man’s existence.

We must face the situation that exists and take actions to solve our environmental problems. We hope that all these measures will be effective and bring back a healthful environment.

Do you want to live in the city or the country?

I like to live in the country that the sun rises in the morning with the first golden light & the first sound from the cock.. All the animals & plants begin their life from this moment on and some of the animals begin their sleeping the new day. This is a very beautiful beginning in the world that you just can see all these in the country not in the city.

And for people , the people in the country are kind although they are ungrace-ful .that is not important that you will feel what is the realest in the friendship of people.

Are people kinder in the city or the country?

The people live in the country is kinder than the people live in the city . this is so sure that I just feel all this from my grandparents . My grandpatents both are country people. Their family is poor that they even do not have more money after they finish all their meals.but my mother was so so interested in studying. My grandparents got five children & gave the choice to study to allof them .

环境保护(Protect environment)

The earth scale change of climate has brought a new kind of natural disaster and the developed and complicated city system is holding a latent risk of expanding the damage artificially. Also people has been spoiling the health since the immense quantity of chemicals have been produced and already used in pursuit of convenience and various toxic substances have been produced unintentionally and accumulated in environment. Therefore, We need some countermeasures from the viewpoint to prevent the city environment form disaster and to manage environmental risks. So we will develop and improve a new risk management system and a disaster prevention system to preserve and create the city environment where people feel easy and sound in their life.

Cars and Air Pollution

Too many cars have created a lot of serious problems in our world. Besides congestion, accidents and fast fuel consumption, cars are responsible for a good part of air pollution in big cities. All the time, they are pumping huge amounts of waste gases into the atmosphere. These gases are very harmful, causing disease and even death.

One possible solution is to design and develop clean cars and clean fuels. In Shanghai, some of the public buses begin to run on natural gas, which does not give off as much carbon dioxide as the petrol. But it may take decades for the new models of clean cars completely replace the traditional ones. Another solution is to develop modern public transportation systems and restrict the use of private cars. If the price of petrol rises constantly and the public vehicles are efficient and convenient enough, most people will not buy private cars. And the total number of cars in big cities will reduce greatly.

On the whole, the elimination of air pollution needs the collective efforts from the government, the public and the environmentalists.

It is undeniable that the worsening environment has become the biggest concern of the present-day world. Land resources are dwindling because of water loss and soil erosion. Waste gases poison the air we breathe. The rivers and lakes are polluted by waste dumped in them from factories. It is probably no exaggeration to say that deterioration of the quality of the environment threatens the existence of mankind itself.

Some people are of the opinion that the environmental problem is the price we have to pay for economic development. But I do not think that this argument is valid. After all, what is the point of economic growth if peoples lives are adversely alfected by worsening environmental pollution ?

不可否认环境恶化已成为当今世界最大的问题。土地资源在不断减少,因为水土流失。废气污染着我们呼吸的空气。河流和湖泊被工厂的 倒出来的废弃物所污染。这可以毫不夸张地说,环境质量的恶化威胁着人类的生存。

有些人认为环境问题是我们因为经济发展而必须要付出的代价。但我不认为这种观点是有效的。毕竟,经济增长的重点是什么?如果人们的生活环境被日益恶化、被严重污染了，那还有什么意义?
