+ 加入清单The world is not only hungry,but also thirsty for water. This may seem strange to you, since nearly 75 % of the earths surface is covered with water. But about 97% of this huge amount is sea water, or salt water. Man can only drink and use the other 3% -- the fresh water that comes from rivers, lakes,underground, and other sources. And we cannot even use all of that, because some of it is in the form of icebergs and glaciers. Even worse, some of it has been polluted.
However, as things stand today, this small amount of fresh water, which is constantly being replaced by rainfall, is still enough for us. But our need for water is increasing rapidly-- almost day by day. Only if we take steps to deal with this problem now can we avoid a severe worldwide water shortage later on. A limited water supply would have a bad effect on agriculture and industry. Let me give you just one small exampie of how necessary water is to industry. Did you know that to produce a single ton of steel, it takes about 91, 000 liters of water?
We all have to learn how to stop wasting our precious water. One of the first steps we should take is to develop ways of reusing it. Experiments have already been done in this field, but only on a small scale.

Halloween is an autumn holiday that Americans celebrate every year. It means "holy evening," and it comes every October 31, the evening before All Saints Day. However, it is not really a church holiday, it is a holiday for children mainly.
Every autumn, when the vegetables are ready to eat, children pick large orange pumpkins. Then they cut faces in the pumpkins and put a burning candle inside. It looks as if there were a person looking out of the pumpkin! These lights are called jack-o-lanterns, which means "Jack of the lantern".
The children also put on strange masks and frightening costumes every Halloween. Some children paint their faces to look like monsters. Then they carry boxes or bags from house to house. Every time they come to a new house, they say,"Trick or treat! Money or eat!" The grown-ups put treat-money or candy in their bags.
Not only children, but most grown-ups also love Halloween and Halloween parties because on this day,they can disguise themselves as personages or ghost as their imaginations will lead them. This bring them the satisfaction of being young.
万圣节前夕
万圣节前夕是美国人年年都会庆祝的秋季节日。它的意思是“神圣的夜晚”,在每年的10月31日,也就是万圣节前夜。但实际上这不是一个真正的宗教节日,而主要是孩子们的节日。
每年秋天蔬菜成熟可以食用的时候,孩子们就会挑出大个儿的橙色南瓜。然后在南瓜上刻上一张脸,把一根点燃的蜡烛放在里面。看起来就好像有人在向南瓜外面张望。这些灯就叫做“iack-o-lantems”,意思也就是“杰克的灯”。
每年万圣节前夕孩子们还戴上奇怪的面具,穿上吓人的服装。有些孩子把脸刷成怪物。然后他们拿着盒子或袋子挨家挨户串门。每来到一个新房子他们就说:“不款待就捣乱!给钱还是吃的!”大人们就会把用来招待的钱或糖放在他们的袋子里了。
不仅孩子,许多成年人也喜欢万圣节前夕和万圣节前夕晚会。因为这一天他们可以根据自己的想象把自己装扮成名流或幽灵。这会带给他们年轻的快感。

+ 加入清单梦想如同一朵花,但这朵梦想之花并不是人人可得的,绽放梦想之花,需要园丁的辛勤劳动,与在漫长的黑夜里,淡然的坚守,只要你坚持到最后,永远是胜利者。有梦的人永远是最幸福的,其中有一个故事令我最为感动。一个15岁的少年。 Dreams are like a flower, but the flower of this dream is not available by everyone.In the night, insistence is indifferent, as long as you persist to the end, you will always be a winner.People with dreams are always the happiest, and one of the stories moved me the most.A 15 -year -old boy.
因为听到隔壁父母说的一句话,使少年的心灵被深深地触动了。于是,他花了五个小时,写了一百二十七个梦想实现的目标。为了实现梦想,他全力以赴的朝着自己定下的目标而努力,到了六十一岁,他成功的实现了计划中的一百零八个梦想。
有志者,事竟成。只要你有梦想,勇于实现,全力以赴,你一定能获得惊人的成果,尝到成功的滋味。
我也有一个伟大的梦想,那就是成为一名歌唱家,我喜欢唱歌,但是为什么会这样呢?
记得那是一节音乐课上,我们每个人都要到老师那儿去唱歌。我好紧张,怕自己唱不好,会是最差的一个,但是,我更怕的是自己是否有勇气去唱歌。我感觉自己的心像要跳出来一样,手心冒出了汗。此时我感觉时间似乎故意和我作对,过得快极了。
紧张和烦躁一起涌上心头,我不安地看着表。同学们一个个上去,动听的歌声让老师开心,十分的满意,快要到我了,我能唱好吗?一定可以的,我为自己加油,一定要相信自己,对自己要有信心。到我了,我拿着音乐书走到老师身边。曼妙的钢琴声响起,我张开喉咙,动听的歌声传了出来……结束了,老师给了我一个满意的微笑,我也开心地笑了,自豪地走了下去。
我相信,只要努力了,梦想就一定会实现。不管这条路是不是困难重重,但选择了这样一条路,就必须要坚持走下去,只要心中有一种信念,你离实现梦想就不远了。梦想真的这么遥远吗?不,不是的,其实,他就在前方的不远处,向你招手,或者,藏在某个角落,准备在你猝不及防时吓你一跳,给你一个惊喜。生命就是因为有了梦想而美好,而闪光。
与梦同行,美哉,乐哉!

"Winter" is the same, you use a good attitude to look at it, you will definitely like me, step by step slowly falling in love with the "different winter".
I like winter, because only winter can make trees appear different styles. From spring and summer to autumn, leaves are always changing and changing. But winter can make trees become bare. I like to accompany my brother to practice football with my family in winter, not only to make my body warm, but also to give my brother an opportunity to practice more. There are also, in winter, I dont know if you have noticed that mosquitoes are missing a lot. At last, they can make me calm down and do well in homework. This is also a great benefit of winter. The last reason is my favorite, the family out to buy Hot pot material, in supermarkets to all of a sudden to the streams of people busily coming and going, in winter, many fewer people, do not have to queue for a check out, is really good, in the winter, the whole family sitting around the round table, each other help each other to resist the cold wind up, this feeling is only a winter feel, together with my family, so hot fireplace, warm atmosphere, in addition to "winter", any season cant taste good.
Anyway, there are also its shortcomings in winter. Of course, there are cold and cold currents that make the nose and water direct. They will make us want to hide in the quilt, but occasionally, this is not a bad thing. In a word, I like it in spring, summer, autumn and winter, and each season has its own characteristics, of which, winter is a very special one. But every trip to winter makes me feel different.
“冬季”就像你的房间,如果能整理的很干净,自己就会喜欢它;但如果你把东西丢的乱七八糟,那不用想也知道,你一定很讨厌它。“冬季”也是一样,你用好的心态去看待它,你绝对会如同我,一步一步的慢慢爱上那“不一样的冬季”。
我喜欢冬季,因为只有冬季,能使树木出现不一样的风格,从春天、夏天在到秋天,叶子都一直变多、变色,但“冬季”却能让树木成为光秃秃的一片。我喜欢在冬季与家人一同去陪弟弟练足球,不仅让我的身体变暖和,也给弟弟多一次练习的机会呢!还有还有,在冬季时,不知道你有没有发现,蚊子顿时少了很多,总算能让我静下心来好好写功课了,这也是冬季的一大好处唷!最后一个理由也是我最喜爱的原因了,全家一起出动去买火锅料,在员来熙熙攘攘的大卖场,一下子到了冬季,人少了许多,结帐都不必排队排个大老远,真是不错,在冬季,全家人一起围着圆桌,互相帮对方把冷飕飕的风给抵挡起来了,这种感觉也只有冬季感受的到 了,和家人一起围炉,如此这般热融融的气氛,是除了“冬季”之外,任何一季都品尝不到的好滋味。
反正不管怎么说,当然冬季也有它的缺点,像是有冷到令人鼻水直流的寒流等,都会使我们想躲在被窝里不要出来,但偶尔这样,也不是件坏事吧!总而言之,春夏秋冬我都喜欢,每一季都有它的特色,其中,冬季是很特别的一个喔!但是每经过一趟“冬之旅”,都让我有不同的感受。

+ 加入清单草的名字不仅仅叫卑微,它还有另外两个名字,一个叫容忍,一个叫生生不息。——题记
《一株草的天涯》作者朱玉成所记述的是一个叫草儿的农村姑娘,她为了挣钱给母亲治病,而放弃了自己的学业,扛起了无比沉重的生活。
她先是给一个有钱人家里做保姆,而所谓的命运,便是你无法选择而又不得不面对的生存过程--主人让她睡厨房,吃剩饭,却天天要她给他们家的狗炖肉汤。看来她的人生似乎跟她的名字一样卑贱。
但是她没有,她说,即便穷死在村子里,也不要去富人家做保姆。她维护了自己的人格与尊严,辞去了这份不堪回首的工作,善恶终有报,善良的她经好心人介绍,到一家工厂做临时工,工作之余,她还一边学习写作,为自己的梦想奋斗每一天,辛苦但快乐的活着。
在这个千变万化的世界上,有的人活的自信,而有的人活的自卑;有的人抬头向前看,而有的人却低头不敢走。身边的每一个人或许都自卑过,因为自己的不足而自卑,因为自己曾犯下的错而自卑,因为自己的渺小而自卑。逐而渐之,或许就会变成一种卑微。
说实话,我也曾为自己感到卑微,感到渺小,不敢尝试为自己的梦想努力,但是有人曾说,我们都生活在同一片蓝天下,没有什么不同,那又有何卑微、
是的,难道我们不应该像草儿那样吗、虽然生的卑微、渺小;但却因为梦想的存在,活得精彩,活的动人、自信的源泉并不是来源于总是正确,而是我们不怕错误,敢于拼搏进取,为自己的人生画上一道绚丽的彩虹、
草儿告诉我们,并不是散发着香气,不迷人的花,是不会招蜂引蝶的。的确,一株草虽然卑微,虽然平凡,但它的心胸很温暖,它的视线很真情,它的语言很别致,拥有着自己独一无二的光芒、
梦想不论卑微、崇尚,只要你足够勇敢,足够自信,足够努力就会成功,要相信沙砾终会变成钻石,草儿终会开出花朵、

History
Historian Nicholas Rogers, exploring the origins of Halloween, notes that while "some folklorists have detected its origins in the Roman feast of Pomona, the goddess of fruits and seeds, or in the festival of the dead called Parentalia, it is more typically linked to the Celtic festival of Samhain, whose original spelling was Samuin (pronounced sow-an or sow-in)".The name is derived from Old Irish and means roughly "summers end".Snap-Apple Night (1832) by Daniel Maclise.Depicts apple bobbing and divination games at a Halloween party in Blarney, Ireland.The name Halloween and many of its present-day traditions derive from the Old English era.
The word Halloween is first attested in the 16th century and represents a Scottish variant of the fuller All-Hallows-Even ("evening"), that is, the night before All Hallows Day.[4] Although the phrase All Hallows is found in Old English (ealra hālgena mæssedæg, mass-day of all saints), All-Hallows-Even is itself not attested until 1556.
11月1日 -- 万圣节 All Saints Day
11月2日 -- 墨西哥的鬼节 Day of Death
万圣节(All Saints Day, All Hallows Day或Hallowmas) 是每年11月1日的欧美大节日。
Halloween 是 All Hallows Eve 的缩写,万圣节前夜的意思,指10月31日的晚上。
For thousands of years people have been celebrating different holidays and festivals at the end of October. The Celts celebrated it as Samhain (pronounced “sow-in”, with “sow” rhyming with cow)。 The Irish English dictionary published by the Irish Texts Society defines the word as follows:
“Samhain, All Hallowtide, the feast of the dead in Pagan and Christian times, signalizing the close of harvest and the initiation of the winter season, lasting till May, during which troops (esp. the Fiann) were quartered. Faeries were imagined as particularly active at this season. From it the half year is reckoned. also called Feile Moingfinne (Snow Goddess)。(1) The Scottish Gaelis Dictionary defines it as ”Hallowtide. The Feast of All Soula. Sam + Fuin = end of summer.“(2) Contrary to the information published by many organizations, there is no archaeological or literary evidence to indicate that Samhain was a deity. The Celtic Gods of the dead were Gwynn ap Nudd for the British, and Arawn for the Welsh. The Irish did not have a ”lord of death“ as such.
The Celts believed that every year on the last day of October, the souls of the dead visited the earth.www.
When the Romans conquered the Celts in the first century A.D., they added parts of their festivals, Feralia and Pomona to the tradition. Feralia was a festival to honor the dead and Pomona was a harvest festival named after the goddess of fruit (apples) and trees.
Around the eigth century, the Christian church made November 1 All Saints Day to honor all of the saints that didnt have a special day of their own. Over the years these festivals combined, the mass held on All Saints Day was called Allhallowmas (the mass of all Hallows - saintly people)。 The night before was known as All Hallows Eve. Eventually this name became Halloween.
In the 1800s, as a lot of people emigrated to the U.S., the holidays and traditions of different cultures merged. Halloween was not always a happy time. October 31, or the night before took on other names. Some called it Devils or Hell night, to others it was mischief night. Here in Vermont, the night before is called cabbage night. To some people this became a time to play tricks on others. Some of these tricks were not fun at all. Luckily, community groups and individuals took action and started to change Halloween into a family event. Dressing up in costumes and going ”trick or treating“, costume parades, community parties and Fall festivals are some of the ways that Halloween is celebrated today.
Other countries have different Fall festivals to honor the deceased.
The Festival of the Dead is one of the most important happenings in both Palermo and the rest of Sicily. The second of November is a festival day for the children of Palermo as, according to tradition,they were made to believe that their dead relatives would return the night before and leave them traditional sweets and cakes on the table (Martorana fruit, which is almond paste made into the shape of different fruit)。 They would also receive puppets of boiled sugar and toys. Its one way of keeping the memory of their dead relatives and loved ones alive.
一年中最”闹鬼“的这天夜里,各种妖魔鬼怪、 海盗、 外星来客和巫婆们纷纷出动。在基督纪元以前,凯尔特人在夏未举行仪式感激上苍和太阳的恩惠。
当时的占卜者点燃并施巫术以驱赶据说在四周游荡的妖魔怪。后来,罗马人用果仁和苹果来庆祝的丰收节与凯尔特人的10月31日溶合了。
在中世纪,人们穿上动物造型的服饰、 戴上可怕的面具是想在万圣节前夜驱赶黑夜中的鬼怪。尽管後来基督教代替了凯尔特和罗马的宗教活动,早期的习俗还是保留下来了。现在,孩子们带着开玩笑的心理穿戴上各种服饰和面具参加万圣节舞会,这些舞会四周的墙上往往悬挂着用纸糊的巫婆、 黑猫、 鬼怪和尸骨,窗前和门口则吊着龇牙裂嘴或是面目可憎的南瓜灯笼。孩子们还常常试图咬住悬挂着的苹果。
美国和加拿大的孩子们在这天穿戴上古怪的服饰去按邻居家的门铃,并按传统发出”是款待我还是要我耍花招“的威胁。邻居们不管是否被吓着,总是准备了一些糖果、 苹果等点心,孩子们则一一收入自己的袋内。
万圣节其实不是基督教的节日。2500年前,爱尔兰的凯尔特人(Celts)以10月31日为一年的最後一日,11月1日是新一年的开始,也象徵冬天的来临。
凯尔特人相信死亡之神Samhain在10月31日的晚上会和鬼魂一起重返人间,寻找替身。因此他们燃点火炬,焚烧动物以作为死亡之神的献礼。还会用动物的头或皮毛做成的服饰打扮自己,发出古怪的声音,使死亡之神认不出自己,避过灾难。这就是今天万圣节化妆舞会的由来。过了当晚,鬼魂回到阴间,一切回复平静。
基督教兴起,教徒沿袭万圣节传统,万圣节的意义慢慢改为纪念为献身於神而死亡的人(holies)。
附带一提,11月2日是墨西哥的鬼节(Los Dias de los Muertos, Day of the Dead)。当天家家户户都烘烤动物造型的面包和煮鸡肉等食物,并在供桌上面放置玩具,以期待早逝的孩童们回到家中玩耍。也可以陈列鲜花、 水果、 照片和彩绘的骷髅头,接待仙逝长辈。
墨西哥人认为,鬼魂和人一样需要及时行乐,所以鬼节宛若一场嘉年华会,人们带着面具到处游走,吃骷髅形状的糖,面包上还装饰有鬼的形像。黄昏时刻,全家人一起到墓园清理墓地,妇女们或跪或坐整夜祈祷,男人们交谈或唱歌,在子夜中烛光忽闪忽灭充满了整个墓园,游唱歌者为已逝亡者的灵魂高歌吟唱。

篇15:我有一个梦想演讲稿
全文共 1213 字
+ 加入清单因为梦,我们的世界更加的多彩和美好。正是梦的存在才使我们拥有倍加前进的勇气和必胜的信心,为此,我们不辞劳苦,自始至终的向着梦的彼岸前进。
作为当代的一名大学生,我们的青春,背负着一种责任,一种寄托,一种祖国对我们的期待。青春不是抱怨年华流逝而感慨万千,也不是趁着年轻而虚度光阴,我们还有很多事要为之奋斗。为此,我们应该努力的去做一个积极进取的中国青年,勤奋努力,奋勇拼搏,去实现属于自己的中国梦。无愧于社会,无愧于人民,以自己的实际行动,为美丽可爱的祖国贡献自己的一份力量。
有人说中国是一个难以创新的国家,因为中国没有梦和敢做梦的人,有人说中国人的处世风格是世界上最现实的,比一般的商人还无利不起早。但是,在历史上,中国和中国人是历来不缺少梦的。庄生梦蝶体现了思想的自由释放,嫦娥奔月更是表现了对未知世界的大胆探索,从秦汉的明月到唐明的关城,中国人的梦不但一直在做,而且为了到达梦境的彼岸去不断地尝试和冲击,于是我们有了引以为傲的四大发明,有了浩如烟海的文学艺术,成就了中国的伟大和不同凡响。
可如今一提起梦,我们现在的中国人首先想到的是荒诞不经,如果说到要为之努力,周边的人除了会给予更多的白眼和不屑外,就不会再看第二眼了,至于梦中的机会和可能就永远地被淹没了。在我们的视野中梦只是孩童的天真和痴人的乱语,我们生活在聪明人的现实世界,我们要发展,我们要理性、我们要挣钱,我们要……我们究竟要什么,生活必须这样过吗?每当深夜来临的时候,当我们蘸着唾沫津津有味地数着红红的革命成果的时候,我们的心在哪里?当我们为了生存四处奔波,当我们为了金钱付出一切的时候,我们得到了什么,而又失去了什么呢?难道我们的欲望只有更多的钱才能满足?我们得到了钱,却失去了梦。“我有一个梦想”,这是马丁·路德金的着名演讲,描绘了他心目中的美国梦——一个没有歧视和偏见、追求公平和正义的梦想。正是有了这样的追求、这样的坚持,才成就了今日美国的强盛。
当我们现在醉心于美国的文明和富有的时候,是否曾经想过我们也曾经有过那样的辉煌,当我们现在耳边到处充斥美国梦的时候,可曾想过中国梦的存在。有人会问中国梦存在吗?我说美国梦一开始就存在吗,人清醒地时候是很难做梦的,时时刻刻只考虑现实性和可能性那还叫梦吗?
美国梦成就了今日美国,那么未来中国就更需要中国梦来成就她将来的辉煌。我们的中国梦需要我们敢想敢梦的勇气,需要我们克服现实的障碍,需要我们努力实现梦想的信心。跳出既有思维和生活的范式,走出现实的压抑,在生活中去寻觅真善美的踪迹,在生活中重造梦中的美好。
为青春,我们不怕失败,努力往前飞。因为青春,我们有用不完的精力,去迎接生命的巅峰。
如果有人问我,你的中国梦是什么,我会说,我的中国梦是中国人要有梦,中国人要敢做梦。自己更要敢想,敢做。不按常规套路,敢于创新。虽然自己要走的路还很长,我都会一如既往不顾艰难险阻的去实现自己的理想,哪怕身心俱疲,使自己问心无愧!
篇16:梦想为主题的中考满分
全文共 629 字
+ 加入清单梦想是灯塔,指引船舶航行的方向;梦想是曙光,照亮夜行者的路梦想是沙漠中的一眼甘泉,让干枯的行者看到生的希望;梦想是石,敲出星星之火;梦想是火,点燃熄灭的灯;梦想是灯,照亮夜行的路;梦想是路,引领走向黎明。
我的梦想是成为一名科学家,成为一个对国家有贡献的人,每当我看到电视上播出新闻——某某科学家发明了一种神奇的药水;某某科学家成功制造出新式仪器,我就兴奋不已,盼着自己也有一天能够像他们一样,为人类作出贡献。
我会制造出一种可以放出冷、热两用的机器,在炎热的夏天可以把热气吸进机器里,这样夏天就不觉得炎热,在寒冷的冬天会把冷气收集到机器里,冬天不会觉得寒冷。利用这种机器,既改善了我们的生活环境,又能节约能源。
然而,要想成为一位举世闻名的科学家也不是一件容易的事:大名鼎鼎的发明家托马斯阿尔瓦爱迪生发明电灯泡的时候,先后试用过上千种材料作灯丝,可是都没有成功。面对他人的嘲笑,他却笑着说:“我并没有失败,因为我知道了很多种材料不适合做灯丝。”他那自信、乐观的精神激励了我,并使我了解到:自信使人勇敢、自信使人有克服困难的勇气和自强不息的力量、自信能使人发挥自己的潜能、自信是幸福的源泉……
科学家们的坚持不懈、百折不挠的精神深深感动了我,所以我要像他们一样!也许实现理想的道路上也许会布满荆棘,刺痛我们的手脚;也许会有许多艰辛,会让我们流下不少泪和汗。但我们还是一定要执著地走下去,因为只有有了这些努力,我们的生活才会更加丰富多彩,我们的理想也才会更加光彩夺目。

全文共 983 字
+ 加入清单Habits, whether good or bad, are gradually formed. When a person doesa certain thing again and again, he'll be obliged to do it in the same way by some unseen force. Thus habit is formed. Once a habit is formed, it is difficult and sometimes almost impossible to get rid of it. It is.therefore very important that we should take care in the formation of habits.
Good habits have many advantages. Going to bed early and getting up early makes us healthy. Diligence helps to succeed. Honesty helps:: win the respeet and trust of others.
If we form bad habits, such as rudeness, laziness, lying and stealing, we might be mined by them.
We ought to keep away from bad habits and try to acquire habits good for ourselves and others. ( 133 words)
习惯,不管是好是坏,都是逐渐形成的。当一个人反复的做某件事时,他就会被某种看不见的力量驱使不得不以同样的方式再去做这件事,于是习惯就形成了。习惯一旦形成,就很难、有时几乎不可能改掉。因此,在养成习惯时我们都应该特别小心,这一点至关重要。
良好习惯有着许多优点。早睡早起身体好;勤奋助人成功;诚实助人赢得他人的尊重和信任。
如果我们养成了坏习惯,比如:粗野、懒惰、说谎、偷窃,我们就可能堕落。
我们应该远离坏习惯并努力养成对己对人都有好处的习惯。
