冬季长跑好处多演讲稿

全文共 781 字

+ 加入清单

老师们,同学们,大家好,我们是来自初一九班的张影和李雨亭,今天我演讲的题目是“冬季长跑好处多”。

俗话说“冬训吃一年”,这是体育业内人非常重视的训练阶段。在民间利用寒冷的冬天进行长跑活动更是人们喜闻乐见的体育项目。为了让同学们更多的掌握长跑的知识,更好的参加长跑运动,我们在此向同学们介绍冬季长跑的有关知识。

通过长跑可以调节神经中枢的兴奋与抑制合理的交替转换,避免神经思维中枢紧张过度,消除大脑的疲劳,提高学习效益,提高记忆力;在低温下长跑可以刺激、激活肌体的保护性反应,调节大脑体温中枢的功能;长跑还可以促进血液循环,加速脑部的血量,供给大脑更多的氧和营养物质,使大脑清醒,思维能力敏捷,神经系统功能的改善,可以提高和完善对各器官、系统的控制和调节能力。

长跑运动可以增强心脏肌肉收缩的力量,提高血液中红血球携带氧的能力,可以使血管粗壮有弹性,可以激活淋巴细胞提高人体的免疫功能。在长跑运动时由于需求氧的量成倍增多,呼吸次数及深度也随之增加,经常进行长跑就能有效的提高呼吸肌力量,加大肺泡的通气量,从而提高了肺活量。

人体的运动系统是由骨骼、关节、肌肉组成,经常参加长跑运动,提高关节的灵活性;有效的提高肌肉的力量和耐力。

冬季长跑可以重新塑造完美体形、体态长跑属于有氧代谢运动,在运动中需要大量的氧和营养物质来供给人体运动的需要,在运动中多余的脂肪被消耗掉就能使得原本臃肿肥胖的体形得到改善,达到重新塑造体形的效果。

在冬季长跑中由于受到季节温度和环境的影响会遇到很多的困难,如天气寒冷,空气干燥都是对人在跑步时形成的自然困难因素,在这样的环境中锻炼一方面在锻炼体质,另一方面也是对人的意志品质的锻炼。

冬季长跑是一项锻炼身体的好运动,我们只有采用科学的方法进行锻炼,才能得到良好的锻炼效果。希望广大同学积极行动起来,投身到冬季长跑活动中来。

我的演讲到此结束,谢谢大家!

With the development of the Internet, many people are used to shopping

online. It has become a fashion in our daily life. Some of us students also join

the group.

Shopping online has many advantages. Just by a click of the mouse, you can

buy what youre interested in without going outdoors. You can avoid getting

tired and being trapped in the crowded people and cars and save time. When

shopping online, you can choose from more varieties of goods, whose prices are

generally lower.

Every coin has two sides. Its disadvantages are obvious, too. On the one

hand, its very easy for you to buy goods different from the pictures you see on

the Internet. On the other hand, shopping online may cause people to buy goods

that are not badly needed. Thats a waste of money.

All in all, I love shopping online.

篇3:元宵节的风俗英文

全文共 1680 字

+ 加入清单

The Lantern Festival (元宵节) is the last day of the Chinese New Year celebration.

This day is for the last moment for setting off fireworks, the last excuse for eating a big feast and the last chance for family getting together before the “年” celebrations are over. (Latern Festival is also a traditional time of celebration for foreigners who live in China).

The Lantern Festival, the 15th of the first month of the lunar calendar, is the first full moon of the year.

Celebrations and traditions on this day date back to the Western Han Dynasty.

Traditions for this festival: as the name indicates, hanging and looking at lanterns is the main tradition.

Lanterns of various shapes and sizes are displayed on trees, or along river banks.

Parents often take their children to Lantern Fairs and sometimes lucky kids even get a mini toy lantern.

Another tradition is guessing lantern riddles. These are riddles that are hung on lanterns for people to shoot down and solve. The riddles are usually short, wise, and sometimes humorous.

The answer to a riddle can be a Chinese character, a famous persons name, a place name or a proverb. This tradition has become a popular game with serious staying power even as social development changes other traditions.

Other than that, the most important thing to do today is to eat sweet dumplings. In northern China, sweet dumplings made of glutinous rice flour are called “元宵” while in southern part they are called “汤圆”.

Typical sweet dumplings are filled with black sesame sauce, sweetened bean paste, or hawthorn. Making “元宵” today is like a game or an activity, so its seldom done without a reason and a group of friends or family present to help out.

篇7:英文的名言警句

全文共 2144 字

+ 加入清单

1、离开我就别安慰我,要知道每一次缝补也会遭遇穿刺的痛。

If you leave me, please dont comfort me because each sewing has to meet stinging pain.

2、在我们生命中出现的人,一些给我们上课,一些让我们痊愈,有的用来分担分享,有的用来真爱。

Among those people that appear in our life, some are to teach us, some to comfort us, some to share and some to love.

3、所谓情话,就是你说了一些连自己都不相信的话,却希望对方相信。

The so-called love word is that you say something that you would not believe by yourself, but you hope others would believe.

4、一段不被接受的爱情,需要的不是伤心,而是时间,一段可以用来遗忘的时间。一颗被深深伤了的心,需要的不是同情,而是明白。

An unacceptable love needs no sorrow but time- sometime for forgetting. A badly-hurt heart needs no sympathy but understanding.

5、偶尔要回头看看,否则永远都在追寻,而不知道自己失去了什么。

Sometimes you need to look back, otherwise you will never know what you have lost in the way of forever searching.

6、生命最大的恐惧,不过是来自于心底那个不去发现的黑暗,但是灵魂告诉我们,只要还有心跳,就一定有勇气。

The most fearful thing in the life is the darkness deep in your heart. But soul told us that you shall have courage as long as the heartbeats.

7、人都是会改变的,有些人选择改变环境,有些人选择被环境改变。很多时候你无法改变的时候,我只好选择,在里面找到让自己快乐的力量。

People will always change. Some choose to change the environment; some choose to be changed by the environment. Most of the time when you cannot change, you have to choose to find something to make yourself happy.

8、寂寞确实跟孤单不一样,孤单只表示身边没有别人,但寂寞是一种你无法将感受跟别人沟通或分享的心理状态。而真正的寂寞应该是连自己都忘了喜欢一个人的感觉。

Loneliness is different from being alone. Being alone means you just have no one beside you but loneliness means that you can not talk with others and share them with your feelings. And the true loneliness is that you even forget how it feels when you love someone.

9、两人相爱是,渴求无限甜蜜的吻。但为何在争吵时,却要用接吻的嘴互相伤害呢?每当我忧郁困惑,疲惫不堪时,我只能给自己一个吻。

When two people are in love, they are eager to have more sweet kisses. But why they are in quarrel, they are hurting each other by the mouths that once used for kissing? Every time when I was upset or tired, I can only kiss by myself.

10、举得起放得下的叫举重,举得起放不下的叫负重。可惜,大多数人的爱情,都是负重的。

If you can hold something up and put it down, it is called weight-lifting; if you can hold something up but can never put it down, its called burden-bearing. Pitifully, most of people are bearing heavy burdens when they are in love.

one windy spring day, i observed young people having fun using the wind to fly their kites. multicolored creations of varying shapes and sizes filled the skies like beautiful birds darting and dancing. as the strong winds gusted against the kites, a string kept them in check.

instead of blowing away with the wind, they arose against it to achieve great heights. they shook and pulled, but the restraining string and the cumbersome tail kept them in tow, facing upward and against the wind. as the kites struggled and kept them in tow, facing upward and against the wind. as the kites struggled and trembled against the string, they seemed to say, let me go! let me go! i want to be free! they soared beautifully even as they fought the restriction of the string. finally, one of the kites succeeded in breaking loose. free at last, it seemed to say. free to fly with the wind.

yet freedom from restraint simply put it at the mercy of an unsympathetic breeze. it fluttered ungracefully to the ground and landed in a tangled mass of weeds and string against a dead bush. free at last , free to lie powerless in the dirt, to be blown helplessly along the ground, and to lodge lifeless against the first obstruction.how much like kites we sometimes are. the heaven gives us adversity and restrictions, rules to follow from which we can grow and gain strength. restraint is a necessary counterpart to the winds of opposition. some of us tug at the rules so hard that we never soar to reach the heights we might have obtained. we keep part of the commandment and never rise high enough to get our tails off the ground.

20 July 2006

Dear Mr. Wang,

Thank you for taking the time to write your wonderful letter in support of MCEA (Maywood Chinese Education Association). Your letter clearly articulates all the major reasons children in Maywood will benefit from studying the Chinese language as part of their elementary school education. It provides invaluable support that will help making bilingual Chinese education a reality in Maywood public schools.

Although MCEA would like to see Palo Alto public schools implement the first bilingual Chinese kindergarten class in September of 2006, we have learned that the school district must take the time to understand how a new program will affect existing educational offerings, and to validate community interest. Nevertheless, MCEA, with more than 70 members, will continue to actively promote bilingual Chinese education in the Palo Alto public schools and will keep you apprised of the progress we make.

Thanks again for sending a letter in support of MCEA. We will continue to do all we can to realize this program both for families of Chinese descent and those with a general interest in participating in the growing economic power of China.

Yours sincerely,

George Chen

篇15:关于诚信的演讲稿

全文共 1094 字

+ 加入清单

所谓诚信,就是指诚实守信,表里如一,言行一致。

我国古代的大教育家、哲学家、思想家孔子曾经以言警世:“人而无信,不知其可也。”明代学者也有这样的表述:“身不正,不足以服;言不诚,不足以动。”就是说,行为不正的人,不被人信服;言语不诚实的人,不必与他人共事。

一个诚信的人,是一个胸怀坦荡的人,是一个有高尚品德的人。“无诚则无德,无信事难成”。在社会主义文明高度发展、人与人相处难见真情的今天,诚信品质尤为重要。

诚信是一个国家,一个社会,一个民族生存的必备条件。一个国家政权的真正强大,并不完全取决于财政收入,也不完全取决于军队的力量,而是取决于社会的品质。一个国家,一个社会,一个民族最重要的品质是诚信。诚信的社会品质,是一个民族强大的动力源泉。高尚的品格是一个国家和民族的魅力所在,是一个国家和社会走向强大的理由。

诚信是上天赐给世人的一种考验。有许多人不能通过这场考验,逃匿了;也有许多人通过了这场考验,戴上了桂冠。逃匿的人随这时间的消逝而消逝,没留下些什么;通过得人也会消逝,但他们却仍活在人们的心中,人们会把他抬举得很高很高。

诚信是道德建设的根本,也是非常宝贵的资源。社会之所以成为一个整体,诚信起着重要的作用。在古人眼里的“一诺千金”可以说价值连城。缺少了诚信这种宝贵的资源,人们的能力、智慧、正直、善良之心就难以维护,这个社会,这个人也就缺少了存在的依据和发展的空间。

试想,如果社会缺失了诚信,每个成员都将生活在恐惧、步履小心的怀疑境地:早上起床吃早餐你会问,牛奶是不是病奶牛产的?包子里面的肉是否可靠?听到某著名公司产值大增的新闻报道,你不禁要问是媒体虚假宣传还是公司的战略浮夸?去银行存钱,营业员把你递的钱从验钞机里过了一遍又一遍,看是否有假币;去超市买东西,对找你的钱看了又看,担心遭到暗算……

“人不信于一时,则不信于一世”。诚信对一个人而言,有时候与眼前利益相斥,很多人缺失一种长远的眼光来看待诚信,实际上,诚信只有一次,只要你有一次丧失了诚信,你的信任度就会下降,甚至还会出现信任危机。

然而,在我们身边缺失诚信的事情却时有发生:虚假广告横行天下;劣质商品充斥市场;考生作弊现象严重;“豆腐*”工程造成无数人间悲剧……难怪时常有人对某些真实的消息产生怀疑,甚至有调查显示,“信用危机”已成为阻碍中国经济发展的一大因素。

“重诺守信,人必近之;狡诈欺蒙,人必远之”。我们应该远离而虞我诈,圆滑世故,多一份真诚,多一点信任,脚踏一方诚信的净土,浇灌出人生最美丽的花朵。

愿我们所有的人都把诚信之心携带在人生的道路上,让诚信的人生散发出金子般的人格光芒,夯筑起人生坚不可摧的铜墙铁壁!

篇20:父亲节英文日记

全文共 1767 字

+ 加入清单

Fathers Day is a holiday to celebrate fatherhood and parenting by males,

just as Mothers Day celebrates motherhood. Typically giving gifts to fathers

and celebrating as a family is the main event of the day. Fathers Day is

celebrated on different days in different countries.

Fathers Day exists almost all over the world to honor and commemorate

fathers or forefathers. In the Roman Catholic tradition, Fathers Day is

celebrated on Saint Josephs Day, March 19, though in most countries Fathers

Day is a secular celebration.

In recent years, retailers have adapted to the holiday by selling

male-oriented gifts such as electronics and tools. Schools and other childrens

programs commonly have activities to make Fathers Day gifts.

In the United States, the driving force behind the establishment of the

celebration of Fathers Day was Mrs Sonora Smart Dodd, born in Creston,

Washington. Her father, the Civil War veteran William Jackson Smart, as a single

parent raised his six children in Spokane, Washington. She was inspired by Anna

Jarviss efforts to establish Mothers Day. Although she initially suggested

June 5, the anniversary of her fathers death, she did not provide the

organizers with enough time to make arrangements, and the celebration was

deferred to the third Sunday of June. The first Fathers Day was celebrated on

June 19, 1910, in Spokane.

Unofficial support from such figures as William Jennings Bryan was

immediate and widespread. President Woodrow Wilson was personally feted by his

family in 1916. President Calvin Coolidge recommended it as a national holiday

in 1924. In 1966, President Lyndon Johnson made Fathers Day a holiday to be

celebrated on the third Sunday of June. The holiday was not officially

recognized until 1972, during the presidency of Richard Nixon.
