My legs and then jump to bark "Wang "called, so I picked up Mimi, it is the opportunity to lick my hand, making me laugh.

我有一条小狗，它很可爱，它叫咪咪。每当我放学回家时，咪咪总是围着我绕圈，我便去厨房拿一片肉给它，它就趴在地板上吃。然后跳到我腿上汪汪汪地叫，于是我抱起咪咪，它就乘机舔我的手，逗得我哈哈大笑。

我喜欢咪咪，喜欢小狗。

一个圆乎乎的脑袋，短短的四肢，加上印着各种花纹的壳，就凑成了一只可爱的活泼的小乌龟。

这只小乌龟名叫“可乐”，它是我爸爸从荷塘里抓来的，我非常喜欢它。

一天，天气晴朗，我把乌龟盆放到阳台上，在一旁仔细观察。只见小乌龟可乐慢慢地爬到石头上，眼睛微微地闭着，真像一个老爷爷躺在椅子上正懒洋洋地晒着太阳。当我给它喂食的时候，它马上从石头上爬下来了，在乌龟盆的边沿使劲地向上爬，好像在说：“小主人，小主人，你快一点，我饿死了！”我马上就舀了一勺粮食给它，它就狼吞虎咽地吃起来。呵！这可真是一只贪吃龟啊！

吃完饭，我要给乌龟洗澡了。我把它放进水斗里，拿起旧牙刷，把它全身的每个角落都刷了一遍，当我刷它的头时，它把我的牙刷咬住了，我使劲地拉，它也不放，我把它放进水里，晃了几下，它终于松口了。真是太淘气了！

这就是我家的小乌龟，你们喜欢它吗？

In winter, the air wave with large snowflakes, not for a moment, then on the ground covered with white snow, people stepped in the thick soft snow, really comfortable ah! The branch also put on the White House jacket, with a string of pearls like ice, in the sun, her tears, with his last time to let people see her shining side. At this time, a few naughty figure on the streets, they wear a thick cotton padded jacket, scarf, hats and gloves, playing in the street. The snowball was flying in the air, and the sound of a child. The people heard the sound of running out, together, enjoying the beautiful scenery, watching the children playing happy scene, laughing and talking, people face exposed happy smile. This is a village - my hometown, how beautiful, harmonious, I love my hometown of winter!

冬天，空中飘舞着鹅毛大雪，不一会儿，地上便铺满了洁白的雪，人们踩在这厚厚的软绵绵的雪上，真舒服啊!树枝也穿上了那白色的棉袄，房屋上结了一串串珍珠似的冰，在太阳的照射下—她流着泪，用自己最后的时光让人们看到她闪闪发光的一面。 这时，街道上出现了几个淘气包的身影，他们穿着厚厚的棉袄，围着围巾，戴着帽子和手套，在街道上玩耍。雪球在空中飞舞着，时不时传来一个孩子的叫声。人们听见这声便跑出来，聚在一起，一边欣赏着美丽的景色，看着孩子们玩耍时快乐的情景，有说有笑，人们的脸上都露出了幸福的笑容。 这是村庄—我的家乡，多么的美丽，和谐，我爱家乡的冬天!

生活中，只稍留意，身边总会传来各式各样的声音：火车的“隆隆声……”，小鸟的“啾啾声……”，大自然的雨打雷鸣声……“言为心声”一个个看似简单自然的话语，在其背后实则在向人们诉说着它特殊的意义。

一个困倦的夏日，赤热的的太阳烘烤着大地。庸懒的人们躲进空调房里小憩，室外除了太阳发着淫-威，一切都那么安静，就连森林里也一片寂静，只有野鸭耐不住寂寞发出阵阵长鸣，那么粗糙，让人听了心烦意乱。此时，我和哥哥正打起精神在树林里穿梭着，寻找野鸭的踪迹。在树荫下，我感到凉快多了。忽然抬头间，树枝枝头上有一道黑影一闪而过，透过树叶，光线刺眼地射了过来。我还没反应过来，哥哥眼疾手快，猛地将手中的石块，“呼”地一声朝野鸭飞去，重重地打在了野鸭的身上。只听见扑通一声，野鸭沉重地摔在了地上，伴随而来的是一声悠长的哀鸣，只见它奋力挪动双脚，扑展双翅，可惜早已身受重伤，力不从心了。况且我和哥哥一前一后围攻着它，它又怎么逃得掉呢？哥哥一把抓住了它的双翅，尽管已伤痕累累，但它仍目光机警，不停振动双翅，挣扎着，嘴里又一次长鸣，这次飞叫声愈加响亮并夹杂着丝丝透人心悬的哀伤。它不再是浅浅的哀鸣或是呻吟，而是坚强的，不屈的，是在向我们抗争。这种声音充满了悲愤，又是那么绝望，或许是它在向同伴告别，向自己生活的树林告别吧！

入夜，周围又是一片沉寂，我躺在床上怎么也睡不着，我被野鸭的叫声深深地震撼了。这种声音一直索绕在我的心底，让人难以入眠。第二天，我和哥哥将野鸭放回属于它的那片森林。

我终于明白，野鸭发出的声音背后，是一种对生命的渴望，对自由的向往和对生活的热爱。它，诠释了生命。

猪的习惯实在令人讨厌。它时常用它那肮脏的猪鼻子拱着干草，还发出难听的“哼哼”声，每到有一桶泔水摆在它面前时，它便把整个头伸进桶里，稀里哗啦吃个没完没了，真讨厌!还有令人更讨厌的呢!比如猪群挤在食槽周围，总是争先恐后的，真是太没秩序了!而兔子却不同了。它吃食时最爱干净了。它吃了一口菜叶后，马上用爪子擦了擦嘴巴，清理皮毛上遗留下的菜屑，简直是个有洁癖的小家伙。

猪好吃懒做，似乎生下来就是专门来睡觉的，任凭谁怎么叫它，它也一声不哼。

可是，当我看到一位已经做了母亲的母猪后，我便改变了对猪的想法。

这天，当产下了一窝小猪的猪妈妈，在离猪栏不到一米的地方，正在无微不至地照顾小猪时，一个敌人出现了，它就是狼。只见它虎视眈眈地盯着小猪崽，想趁猪妈妈不注意时偷一只回家尝尝鲜。可是，猪妈妈那灵敏的耳朵听见了动静，马上警惕起来。它望望四周，忽然发现一条狼尾巴，于是它先把小猪一个个送回猪栏，再小心翼翼、不声不响地走进尾巴，狠狠地咬了一口，狼大叫一声，夹着尾巴逃跑了。

冬天到了，刺骨的寒风吹起雪花，小猪崽一个个冷得瑟瑟发抖，母猪便让小猪们挤在它的身体四周，得到一点儿温暖，它自己却冷得皮肤都要僵了。

啊!这就是伟大、无私的母爱!猪虽然贪吃，但它对它的子女却是多么关心，我不再讨厌它们了! Related articles:

In the morning, the sun was showing little half of the face, like shy little girl. "An auf" puppy huanhuan get up, he is like a clock on time every day, and it was not yet light is called to get up.

Spring is coming. Every life revives. Grass turns green in Fudan and everyone seems to be full of energy. A good time for exercising, isnt it? As darkness falls, thegymnasium is open for those who have a strong desire to strengthen their bodies. Soon the gymnasium is full of people, the weak, the strong, the tall and the short.

The first person that comes into my sight is standing in front of the mirror. He is quite muscular. Of course he wants everybody here to see how strong he is, so he is stripped to the waist and poses like a Greek statue, wearing a look of pride on his face. If you feel weary of this self-love fellow, please direct your sight to another person. He lifts a barbell above his knees and keeps this posture for a long time. His face turns red while he keeps shouting to support himself. Others cant help worrying about him for his blood seems to burst out from the vein on his face. At last he puts down the barbell and only then have I come to notice that his T shirt is soaking. From the silhouette of his back, I can see every piece of his muscle. Thelast person that draws my attention is in the corner. He sits on a chair with two dumbbells in his hands. He keeps lifting them, speechless. After a while, he drops the dumbbells and start to exercise on other body building apparatus without amoments rest. He is like a machine that never feels tired.

Besides the three people, everyone here makes a deep impression on me. They prefer the dull exercising to playing outside. They win my respect for they are true men.

In my mind, often one or two things in the hearts of lingering, so I can not suppress ... ...

Thats my fourth grade. A dawn, I and my cousin riding a bike came to the beach to enjoy the breath of the sea that very fresh air. I happened to find a crab crawling on the beach and sharing the sun with us. I let the cousin and I walk over to see.

We stared at the crabs, and they did not seem to find us, they shook its sharp "knives" and walked around. The cousin told me that the crabs were "doing morning exercise". I am amazed, and they will "do morning exercise". My heart had a thought, I carefully squat, hand a catch. The result was escaped by the hateful guy. I thought: good I copied you! Cousin can not stand still, but also came to help. In our concerted efforts, the guys have been caught by us.

It has been two years after this matter, but it has been branded in my heart.

我家养了几条小金鱼。

金鱼是一种美丽的小动物，它们都非常惹人喜爱。金鱼的颜色可漂亮啦有上下都红色的.有黄色的.还有全身都黑色的,我给它们分别取名叫“红红”.“黄黄”.“黑黑”。它们混杂在一起，五颜六色的，游来游去，带起一波又一波的水纹也闪闪地动起来，好看极了。

金鱼的样子也很可爱，有的鼓着又大又圆的眼睛，拖着蝴蝶似的尾巴，像小绅士一样。那条叫“红红”的金鱼，个儿不算大，有趣的是它的眼睛和嘴巴是格外的红，别看它小，动作却非常灵活。每当我靠近鱼缸时，它就一拱一拱地游起来，在鱼缸里绕圈子，摇头摆尾地向我致敬。

这三条金鱼不但外形可爱，吃食的样子更是逗人。瞧，我把鱼食投到鱼缸里，它们就蜂拥而至，“黑黑”一马当先尾巴一甩，头使劲往上一伸，把最大的鱼虫干变成“囊中之物”。而“红红”和“黄黄”呢，你挤我.我挤你毫不相让，结果弄得两败俱伤，什么也没吃到。

只要一有空，我就会坐在鱼缸前，看着它们嬉戏，看着它们舞蹈。我爱我家的小金鱼。

导语：很多东西都面临灭绝的危险，我们应该保护动物，下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的优秀英语作文，欢迎阅读与借鉴，谢谢!

Many wild animals are facing the danger of extinction, because the environment that they are living in has changed greatly. For example, with the developmet of cities, the using of insecticide and serious pollution, their living areas have become narrowcr and narrower. Many of the wild animals, now are confronted with food crisis. At the same time, man is killing off species just for getting their fur, skin, horns, teeth and meat.

In order to protect our resources of ecology, people should realize that the loss of any species is at least the loss of source of knowledge and a source of natural beauty. There fore, measures of the following should be taken: pollution standards are made to keepdown poisons; killing off certain rare species is prohibited; national parks should be set up as wild life, reserves.

Only if we human beings take some drastic measures can wild animals be preserved.

【参考译文】

许多野生动物正面临灭绝的危险，因为它们生活的环境已经发生了巨大的变化。例如，随着城市的发展，杀虫剂的使用和严重的污染，他们的生活区域变得越来越狭小。许多野生动物现在面临食物危机。同时，人类为了获取皮毛、皮肤、角、牙和肉而捕杀物种。

为了保护我们的生态资源，人们应该意识到任何物种的损失至少是知识的源泉和自然美的源泉。因此，本应采取以下措施：制订污染标准以降低有毒物质;严禁杀害某些稀有物种;应建立国家公园作为野生动物，保护区。

只有人类采取一些激烈的措施，野生动物才能被保存下来。

This fish earned its name by utilizing evasion as a way to escape its predators. It bodily leaps from the ocean, reaching a speed of about 35 miles per hour and a recorded gliding time of up to thirty seconds. This can take them as far as 200 meters from their point of exit from the water, which may be far enough to escape pursuit or confuse predators. Fishermen favor these types of fish, but due to their sheer numbers in the wild, none of the 40 different species of flying fish are listed as endangered. While they can be found foraging seasonally along the outskirts of warm water reef complexes, flying fish are primarily pelagic, and favor tropical or subtropical open waters around the equator.

飞鱼得名于它独特的避难方式。遇到捕食者时，飞鱼会采用一种独特的逃跑方式：它会纵身一跃，跳出海面。此时它的速度可达到每小时35英里，在空中滑翔长达30秒。这一跃能使它们飞行200米，足以使它们全身而退或者迷惑捕食者。渔民们很是钟爱这种鱼，野生飞鱼数量众多，所以40种飞鱼中没有一种濒临灭绝。人们发现飞鱼有时会季节性的在温水区近郊地带的杂礁灰岩附近觅食，不过它们属浮游类鱼类，喜欢在赤道附近的热带，亚热带地区的公海活动。

Subsisting mainly on a diet of plankton and small marine life, flying fish are schooling fish that hunt primarily at night. While some sources may find this counter-intuitive, given the ease with which the fish are drawn to light sources, this actually makes perfect sense. Many of the plankton and marine resources the fish favor are slightly luminescent, especially by moonlight, making them easily seen in the darkness. This also provides cover, given the coloration of the fish—blue or grey on top, silvery white on the bottom—so that they are not easily seen from above or below as they feed on the clouds of marine flora. Flying fish generally mate during the autumn or spring, when currents are at their weakest. Females will deposit their eggs on the surface, attached to flotsam, and males will fertilize the eggs. Schools at this time can number in the millions, and constitute a major resource for species that feed on the fish. Because they only tend to live about five years in the wild, their flesh is prized for its purity—free of the heavy metals often found in longer-lived species.

飞鱼主要以浮游生物和小型海洋生物为食，主要在夜间以集群的方式进行捕食。有些人会觉得下面这个说法有悖常理，因为鱼类易被光源吸引，这么说也不无道理。许多浮游生物和鱼类自身都会发出微弱的冷光，尤其是在月光照射下，更是清晰可见。但这同时也为鱼类提供了一层防护，让它们有了保护色：一般在上部会呈现蓝色或灰色，下部呈现银白色。凭借这些保护色，当飞鱼在海底植物中进食时就很难发现它们。飞鱼通常会在春秋时节进行交配，因为这个时期洋流的活动最为和缓。雌性飞鱼会将卵产在海面上，让其依附在漂浮物上，雄性飞鱼再让鱼卵受精。此时在飞鱼的集群中，会有数以百万的成员。而这也为以鱼类为生的动物们提供了主要的食物来源。由于野生飞鱼只有5年的寿命，它们不会像长寿的鱼类一样体内留有大量重金属物质，因此飞鱼肉被人们视为珍品。

So how can polar bears thrive on their version, seal blubber?

那么,北极熊是如何处理这些高热量食物的呢?

Turns out theyve stocked up on genes that let them clear fats from their blood.

结果显示它们储存在遗传基因里的信息使得它们能够清除血脂。

Thats according to a study in the journal Cell.

这是根据《细胞》杂志上的一篇研究得出的结论。

Polar bears are well adapted to life on the sea ice.

北极熊非常适应在浮冰上的生活。

Up to half their body weights fat, which gives them extra insulation and buoyancy, and provides them with a ready source of energy.

几乎占它们身重一半的脂肪足以使它们保暖并且维持体力，提供给它们一种易转化的能量。

But how can an animal so fat also be so fit?

但一种动物怎么能又胖又健康?

Researchers compared the genomes of polar bears with those of brown bears, and found that polar bears have accumulated genetic changes that boost their heart health and fat metabolism.

研究人员们通过比较北极熊和棕熊的基因，发现北极熊的基因组中积累了不少有利于心脏健康和脂肪代谢的遗传突变。

One gene in particular, called ApoB, helps move cholesterol out of the blood—where it causes problems in humans—and into cells.

特别是编码为载脂蛋白B的基因有助于清除血液中对人类有害的胆固醇转变成细胞代谢。

These genomic changes happened quickly, evolutionarily speaking.

这些遗传变化从进化的角度来讲发生的十分快。

Polar bears and brown bears diverged from a common ancestor less than half a million years ago.

北极熊和棕熊都来自于同一个祖先，它们是在大约50万年前左右开始向不同分支进化。

But if that seems super speedy, the ability to digest lactose didnt spread through human populations until we domesticated cows, just 10,000 years ago.

但是如果这种变化看上去十分快速的话，消化乳糖的酶逐渐进化到人类各个种群中也还是发生在大概1万年前我们可以驯化乳牛之后。
