"Bumper harvest, bumper harvest!"!" Cried one of the fishermen, happily

jumping up like a child. After a while, the full cabin fish alive and kicking,

calm sea filled with coming from all sides of the fishermens

laughter.........

Now, like this "fish and shrimp full cabin" scene has been very rare. In

todays market, is the most common fish pound at least to dozens of yuan, more

serious pollution of the ocean, the ocean resources gradually dried up, seafood

production, prices rise, it illustrates this point?

In the ocean of natural calamities and man-made misfortunes emerge in an

endless stream today, human pollution is often not from the original intention,

but it is caused by the unexpected effect. The British Petroleum oil, because

the drilling platform explosion, caused by the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico,

to 9900 square kilometers of sea water is seriously polluted, so that tens of

thousands of seabirds soaked in oil to move, die in hunger and misery, makes

countless fish poisoning death; and the Japanese earthquake and tsunami

triggered a nuclear leak the marine pollution is more serious......

The sea is so vast that it is because the rivers and streams flow into the

Yangtze River and then run into the sea. If we do not solve the pollution

problem from the source, then no matter how people clean up the sea, there will

always be sewage flowing into the sea, and all the efforts will be futile. Now,

streams and streams are often seriously polluted, or they become places where

people dump rubbish or are loaded with pesticide cans. Finding a clear stream in

an inhabited area can be very difficult today!

In any case, the protection of the oceans can not be achieved by individual

forces, and the protection of the oceans depends on the joint efforts of all

mankind. I do not want one day in the future, our descendants can only imagine

the image of the vast and wide sea.

This is not only the wish of a pupil, but also the wish of all mankind,

isnt it?

篇1:学习雷锋精神的600字

全文共 760 字

+ 加入清单

有一个老师,看到了一道逻辑分析题:在一个下着雨的夜晚,一个女子抱着自己的孩子走在回家的路上,一个男人看见了这对母子,把自己的伞借给了他们,并送他们回家。问:这个男人为什么这么做?老师觉得很有意思,没看答案就将题目出给了学生。学生们的答案五花八门,有的说这是一个抢劫的,想要抢这个女人的钱财;有的说这是一个人贩子,想抢女人的孩子;也有人说他想绑架这对母子,要勒索他们的家人……

校长正巧从教室门口经过,听到了同学们的答案,便走进来说:“同学们回答的都很好,但我想知道正确答案。”老师找到答案,大声的念了出来:因为他在学雷锋,做好事。”同学们一片哗然,纷纷说不现实。而校长却缓缓的说到:“没错,三十年前,很多人都会这么做。”

看到这里,我的心中不禁有一丝触动。三十多年前,很多人都在学习雷锋乐于助人、无私奉献的精神,而三十年多年后,不少人却已经淡忘了这种精神,对此不以为然,“只扫自家门前雪,不管别人瓦上霜”,索取的多,奉献的少,甚至有些人将助人为乐、见义勇为等事迹认为是犯傻的举动,甚至嘲笑那些帮助别人的人。

“雷锋精神”就是奉献,是爱心,是在点滴小事中充分实现自己生命的价值,把自己有限的生命投入到无限的为人民服务当中。我们需要这种爱、需要这种奉献。看看我们的身边,你就会发现:公交车上,人们纷纷为老人、孕妇让座;献血站里,人们把自己滚烫的鲜血输给了一个个陌生的生命;贫困的山区,有无数的志愿者来为孩子们奉献爱心;一方有难,八方支援……雷锋精神无处不在。我们想想,假如没有了这些爱,没有了彼此间的帮助,没有了无私的奉献,那将是一个多么冷漠无情而濒临危险的世界?

雷锋精神并没有过时,它始终在我们身边,激励着一代又一代的人。我们是祖国未来的主人,更要将它发扬、传承下去。我相信,只要大家心中有爱,就会有“雷锋精神”之花的永恒绽放。

But others do not agree .Young children have to learn Chinese pinyin at school .If they study Chinese pinyin and English at the same time , it will be very easy for them to mix them up .This will do a lot of harm not only to their Chinese learning but also to their future English learning .

学习对于我们每个人都是很重要的。除了老师的辛勤培养外,也需要我们自身的努力。学习如吃饭,是每天必不可少的。学习时间的安排一定要合理,不能乱了分寸,要不然后果将不堪设想。

我的学习经验是这样的。首先,每天按时完成老师布置的作业,这是最基本的要求。再者,除了老师课堂上布置的题目完成了,还远远不够,自己还得另外找练习题做,熟练掌握已学知识。每当发现做错了的题目,就得用另外一支笔来标出,旁边还得写上错误的缘由和分析,这样的话,以后翻开来就一目了然。或者,我们可以做一个错题本,把错了的题目抄在上面,并写上原因和正确答案,考试前翻开看一看,加深记忆,以后出现这种题就不会再错了。

还有,不要以为课外的题目就可以瞎做,要把每一次的练习都看作是一次重大的考试,绝不能疏忽怠慢了,字字句句都要写清楚。如果你不认真做的话,考试时就改不了了,所以现在养成良好的习惯,考试时也不会由于粗心而失分。

接着,则是一定要养成爱读书的习惯。高尔基曾说:“书籍是人类进步的阶梯。”读书不仅可以让我们增长知识,还可以提高我们的写作水平,让我们养成良好的阅读习惯。常言道:书山有路勤为径,学海无涯苦作舟。或许,有些同学认为读书是一件很无趣的事,但俗话说:兴趣是最好的老师。如果你去读那些你不感兴趣的书籍的话,同样也会爱上读书。

最关键的还是,上课要仔细听讲,不能东看看西望望,不是两人说话,就是借着四人小组讨论的时间聊一些与学习无关的废话,这种行为也该消失。

以上就是我的学习方法与经验,希望能帮助到大家。

Nowadays, the problem of college students employment becoming more and

more serious. About a decade ago, university students could find satisfactory

and enviable jobs after graduation, while at current situation, about 30% of

graduate students can’t find a job but stay at home after graduation.

Employment difficulty of college students is due to the following reasons.

Among these, the increasing recruitment of colleges and universities plays a

vital role. In addition, many colleges and universities fail to adapt their

courses to the development of economy.

Considering such a rough job market, I think it is high time that we took

effective measures to solve the problem. Above all, college students should

realize their own defects and further improve themselves to keep their

competitive edge in society.

Moreover, colleges or universities should provide more trainings and

internship opportunities before the students enter the society. Besides, college

students should hold a right attitude towards jobs and set their job

expectations at a suitable level.

Only through these ways can the college students find a satisfactory job

and have a brighter future.

在小学时,作业很少,压力也如同作业一般,寥寥无几。书包也很轻,每天几乎只要背三本书,语文,数学和英语书,其他书只需放书包橱里睡大觉就行了,不用天天背来背去。而如今,我已成为一名中学生,作业随之渐渐增多,书不但比小学大一号,每天要背来去的书也渐渐多了起来,这也给了我一个预告,初中的压力加大了,不再像小学时那样轻松快乐了。

在小学时,双休日我很空,因为我周五晚上把功课可以全做完,然后可以和妈妈一起出去散散步,也可以看看电视,娱乐娱乐。周六周日,我只要做少量的教辅材料,然后自己批批,妈妈也不大来检查。而到了初中,双休日则一下子成了我的加班日了。周五必须把作业完成,然后要看作文选一直到睡觉,第二天早上,妈妈很早把我从床上拉起来,叫我复述昨晚作文选上的内容。

接着,便是大量的教辅向我涌来,我不仅要做完,还要批完,批完后的订正还不能看答案,从早到晚一刻不停地忙于教辅中。妈妈以前总爱和我闲聊,可现在,她似乎只会为我施压,一天到晚像唐僧念经一般地叨叨:“你看看你,怎么没……好,人家能考前3名,你怎么就不行呢?”

可是,虽然上了中学后我已找不回小学时那无忧无虑的快乐生活,回不到那种提倡快乐学习的美好时光,那从而又给了我又一个选择,是面对这种充满压力的初中生活放弃自己,逆水行舟,不进则退呢,还是迎刃而上,不对这突如其来的压力感到畏惧呢?当然是迎刃而上。

人都说"只要功夫深,铁杵磨成针"。学习亦如此,假如我咬紧牙关,永不放弃,我总会取得好成绩,考上重点高中。反之,若我面对困难打着退堂鼓,想要放弃的话,收获与成功也会渐渐向我远去。压力是每个人都要面对的,特别是这种学习上的压力,但面对压力,我必须挺起胸膛,勇往直前,终有一天,我会尝到属于学习上的那甜甜的果实。

There are many different beliefs about the origin of the Lantern Festival.

But one thing for sure is that it had something to do with celebrating and

cultivating positive relationship between people, families, nature and the

higher beings they believed were responsible for bringing/returning the light

each year.

One legend tells us that it was a time to worship Taiyi, the God of Heaven

in ancient times. The belief was that the God of Heaven controlled the destiny

of the human world. He had sixteen dragons at his beck and call and he decided

when to inflict drought, storms, famine or pestilence upon human beings.

Beginning with Qinshihuang, the first emperor to unite the country, all the

emperors ordered splendid ceremonies each year. The emperor would ask Taiyi to

bring favorable weather and good health to him and his people. Emperor Wudi of

the Han Dynasty directed special attention to this event. In 104 BC, he

proclaimed it as one of the most important celebrations and the ceremony would

last throughout the night. They clean it all up in the morning.

Another legend associates the Lantern Festival with Taoism. Tianguan is the

Taoist god responsible for good fortune. His birthday falls on the 15th day of

the first lunar month. It is said that Tianguan likes all types of

entertainment, so followers prepare various kinds of activities during which

they pray for good fortune.

Yet another common legend dealing with the origins of the Lantern Festival

speaks of a beautiful bird that flew down to earth from heaven, which was hunted

and killed by some villagers. This angered the Jade Emperor in Heaven because

the bird was his favorite one. Therefore, he planned a storm of fire to destroy

the village on the 15th lunar day. The Jade Emperors daughter heard of this

plan, and warned the villagers of her father’s plan to destroy their village.

The village was in turmoil because nobody knew how should they escape their

imminent destruction.

However, a wise man from another village suggested that every family should

hang red lanterns around their houses, set up bonfires on the streets, and

explode firecrackers on the 14th, 15th, and 16th lunar days. This would give the

village the appearance of being on fire to the Jade Emperor. On the 15th lunar

day, troops sent down from heaven whose mission was to destroy the village saw

that the village was already ablaze, and returned to heaven to report to the

Jade Emperor. Satisfied, the Jade Emperor decided not to burn down the village.

From that day on, people celebrate the anniversary on the 15th lunar day every

year by carrying red lanterns on the streets and exploding firecrackers and

fireworks.

There are many stories on how this festival was created. One other story is

about a maid. In the Han Dynasty, Mr. Eastern was a favorite advisor of the

emperor. One winter day, he went to the garden and heard a little girl crying

and getting ready to jump into a well to commit suicide. Mr. Eastern stopped her

and asked why. She said she was a maid in the emperors palace and her name was

Yuan-Xiao.

She never had the chance to meet her family after she started worked at the

palace. She missed them so much every 12th lunar month. If she couldnt have the

chance to show her filial piety in this life, she would rather die. Mr. Eastern

promised her to find a way so she could reunion with her family. Mr. Eastern

left the palace and set up a fortune-telling stall on the street and disguised

himself as a fortuneteller. Because of his reputation, many people asked for

their fortunes.

But every one got the same prediction - a severe fire accident on the 15th

lunar day. The rumor spread quickly. Everyone was worried about the future and

asked Mr. Eastern for help. Mr. Eastern said, "On the 13th lunar day, the God of

Fire will send a fairy lady in red to burn down the city. If you see a lady in

red wearing green pants riding a black horse on that day, you should ask for her

mercy." On that day, Yuan-Xiao pretended to be the red fairy lady. When people

asked for her help, she said, "Im the messenger of the God of Fire and came to

check on the city and Im going to set up fire on 15th. This is an order from

Jade Emperor. He will watch from the heavens.

I will give you a copy of the imperial decree from the God of Fire. You

should go to ask your emperor to find a way out." After she left, people went to

the palace to show the emperor the decree which reads "The capital city is in

trouble. Fire burns on the palace, and fire from Heaven burns all night long on

the 15th." The emperor of Han Dynasty was very shocked. He called and asked Mr.

Eastern for advice. After pondering for a while, Mr. Eastern said, "I heard that

the God of Fire likes to eat Tang-Yuan (Sweet dumpling). Does Yuan-Xiao often

cook Tang-Yuan for you? On the 15th lunar day, let Yuan-Xiao make Tang-Yuan.

Your Majesty will take charge of the worshipping ceremony and you will give

an order to every house to prepare Tang-Yuan to worship the God of Fire at the

same time. Also, deliver another order to ask every house in the city to hang

red lantern and explode fire crackers. Lastly, everyone in the palace and people

outside the city should carry their lanterns on the street to watch the lantern

decoration and fireworks. If everything goes this way, the Jade Emperor would be

deceived.

Then everyone can avoid the fire accident." The emperor happily followed

the plan. Lanterns were everywhere in the capital city on the night of the 15th

lunar day. People were walking on the street. Fire crackers kept making lots of

noise. It looked like the entire city was on fire. Yuan-Xiaos parents went into

the palace to watch the lantern decorations, and Yuan-Xiao made a big lantern

and wrote her name on the lantern. They happily reunited together after her

parents called her name. Everybody was safe during the night. The emperor of Han

Dynasty had a new order that people should do the same thing every year. Since

Yuan-Xiao cooked the best Tan-Yuan, people called the day Yuan-Xiao

Festival.

Young people were chaperoned in the streets in hopes of finding love.

Matchmakers acted busily in hopes of pairing couples. The brightest lanterns

were symbolic of good luck and hope. As time has passed, the festival no longer

has such implications.

Those who do not carry lanterns often enjoy watching informal lantern

parades. In addition to eating tangyuan (simplified Chinese: 汤圆; traditional

Chinese: 湯圓; pinyin: tāngyuán), another popular activity at this festival is

guessing lantern riddles (which became part of the festival during the Tang

Dynasty), which often contain messages of good fortune, family reunion, abundant

harvest, prosperity and love.
