Generally, there are two tesons for the spam epidemic. On one hand, due to the face that text message is a comparatively cheap channel, many companies take advantage of it to advertise their products or servies. Whether people are willing to receive the message is neglected. On the other hand, those holding lots of imformation on cell phone users sell the information and make money our of it.

To solve the problem of spam message, people should make joint efforts. The government should set up laws to severely punish the illegal advertisers and those who disclose information. Cell phone researchers and developers should upgrade the products and enable them to delete the spam automatically. Should people ace together, they will be free from the spam message.

Today, the world is globalized and more and more foreigners come to China

to seek for business cooperation. Many years ago, a non-profit organization

named the second Saturday of July as the International Day of Cooperatives. Its

purpose is to call for more cooperations between countries.

communication between countries has increased. America is the superpower all the

time, but during recent times, there are so many business cooperation between

Chinese people and American people. It is known to all that China’s market is

友谊是一条善良的河流,澄清着沿路的风尘;是上天在人的心灵中植下的一方净土,培育着诚实善良的花朵。下面是小编整理的关于友谊的英语作文,希望对大家有帮助。 关于友谊的英语作文一:

Friendship is a kind of human relations. It is a human instinct to make friends.When in trouble, we

need friends to offer us help, support and encouragement. With success achieved, we also need friends to share our joys.

Friendship is also one of the greatest pleasures that we can enjoy. It implies loyalty, cordiality, sympathy, affection,and readiness to help. No man can make the most of his life without carefully and conscientiously striving to win the right kind of friends as he goes along.

Knowing how valuable friendship is, we should be very careful in making friends. Real friends are those who have good character, superior ability and kindness of heart. Real friends can share all our sorrows and double all our joys.While making friends, we should take care to select those who have such fine qualities. Then we should treat our friends with courtesy, be careful not to interfere unreasonably with them,and not to ridicule their proceedings. We should forgive their failures and do our best to help them. In short, when we have established friendship, we ought to cherish and treasure it by means of words and deeds. Only thus, can we develop real friendship and keep the sacred lamp of friendship burning all our life. 关于友谊的英语作文二:

making friends is a skill like many other skills. it improves with practice. if you want to meet people and make friends, you must be willing to take some actions. you must first go where there are people. you won’t make friends staying home alone. join a club or a group. taking with those who like the same things as you do is much easier. or join someone in some activities. many people are nervous when talking to new people. after all meeting strangers means facing the unknown. and it’s human nature to feel a bit uncomfortable about the unknown. most of our fears about dealing with new people come from doubts about ourselves. we imagine other people are judging us of finding us too tall or to short, too this or too that. but don’t forget that they must be feeling the same way. try to accept yourself as you are and try to put the other person at ease. you’ll both feel more comfortable.

try to be self-comfident even if you don’t feel that way. when you enter a room full of strangers, such as a new classroom, walk tall and straight, look directly at other people and smile.

if you see someone you like to speak to, say something . don’t wait for the other person to start a conversation.

just meeting someone new does not mean that you will make friends with that person-friendship is based on mutual liking and “give and take”. it takes time and effort to develop. 关于友谊的英语作文三:

Friendship Friends play an important part in our lives,and although we may take friendship for granted,we often dont clearly understand how we make friends.While we get on well with a number of people,we are usually friends with only a very few----for example,the average among students is about 6 per person.In all the cases of friendly relationships,two people like one another and enjoy being together.but beyond that,the degree of intimacy between them and the reasons for the shared interests vary enormously.As we get to know people we take into account things like age,race ,economic conditions,social position,and intelligence.Although these factors are not of prime importance,it is more difficult to get on with people when there is a marked difference in age and background.

Some friendly relationships can be kept on argument and discussion,but it is usual for close friends to have similar ideas and beliefs,to have attitudes and interests in commen ---they often talk about being on the same wavelength .it generally takes time to reach this point.And the more intimately involved people become,the more they rely on one another .people want to do friends favours and hate to break a promise.Equally,friends have to learn to put up with annoying habits and try to tolerate differencesof opinion.wWw.xiNgkoo.coMIn contrast with marriage ,there are no friendship ceremonies to strengthen the association between two persons.But the supporting and understanding of each other that results from shared experiences and emotions does seem to a powerful bond ,which can overcome differences in background ,and break down barriers of age, class or race. 关于友谊的英语作文四:

Friendship is priceless, is not buy friendship, and when you give up your friendship who, you need his help, he can not help you, even if you can not buy with thousands of gold back.

I am a heavy feeling of people, sense of obligation, so there are a lot of friends, such as: "Tang Tao, Zhou Jie, Liu Longyu, Liu Fan, off field ... ... my good friend, are infinite in number, no one told me they After a wonderful childhood, with these friends, my childhood full of joy.

They gave me numerous times to help, Don Tao is my first grade friends, our class took part in the running, everyone knows me and the strength of the Tang Tao comparable to the running of the day, I was flabbergasted, my running time, slipped and fell a somersault, then, Tang Tao, Stop right now, pick me, help me to pat the dust off, suddenly, I felt a burst of warm heart, the somersault to get my speed was much slower , Tao Tang met with me crossing the finish line is busy pulling up and give me the second I knew that he was very second.

Zhou Jie is my understanding in the second grade, he often helped me record straight. D O I did not play and when to give me happiness. Liu Longyu fifth grade I knew, he was my classmate, math problems often tell me, tell me a joke, was my best playmate ... ...

篇3:高中作文题目大全

在我看来,生活之所以美好皆因为有爱。爱是幸福,爱是力量,爱是无时无刻的感动。

母之爱

幼儿时,我很胖,体重已达到肥胖儿童的标准。妈妈看在眼里急在心里,考虑再三决定送我去学舞蹈。打从四岁开始,每周三趟的舞蹈课妈妈从未让我缺席过一次。不仅如此,她还得帮着年幼的我记动作、弯腰压腿。就这样,经过了二年的艰苦训练,我不但甩掉了身上多余的肉肉,还如愿以偿地考进了上海小荧星艺术团的舞蹈队。

在艺术团的五年里,妈妈还是一如既往地陪着我上课、排练、演出。还记得那次录制春节联欢晚会时的情景,原本我们只要表演开场舞,哪晓得导演突然说还需要谢幕,就这样莫名的足足多出了4个小时。当我们在温暖的现场后台打盹时,妈妈却只能在冷冷的电视台大厅苦等到凌晨。望着她那疲惫而瑟瑟发抖的身影,我的心被深深地刺痛了,眼泪不自觉地夺眶而出……

因为妈妈的爱和坚持,我这个曾经的丑小鸭渐渐蜕变成美丽的白天鹅。

师之爱

中学生涯在期待和忐忑中拉开了帷幕。当我的知班主任是数学老师时,心里不禁打了个寒颤。因为我从小对数字就没有太大的兴趣,所以数学成绩始终是三门课程中最糟糕的。真不敢想象,在一位教数学的班主任手下我的命运会如何?幸好事实并非我所想象的那样,虽然数学测验依旧如之前一般,

不是抄错就是算错,可我们那位“固执”的赵老师却还是认定了我是个好学生。即便偶有批评,也会立马解释说:“对不起,不是你不够好,而是我对你的要求更高!”每每听到这番话,我的心似一股暖流趟过,那份信任叫人感觉无比温暖。

在不知不觉中,我顺着老师引领的方向愉悦的前行,表现也似乎真的变得出色起来:在运动会上,我为班级争得了一枚宝贵的金牌;在大队委的竞选中,我顺利的当选了文艺委员;在首次参加的头脑OM比赛中,我幸运的晋级参加全市的角逐。最让人意想不到的是,这次期中的数学考试我居然得了98分。虽然不是满分,可对于我这么个痛恨数学的人来说,确是一个新的里程碑。

因为老师的爱和信任,我这朵晚开的小花逐渐吐露出自己特有的芬芳。

吾之爱

在我身边有许多的朋友,可是有一位却极其的与众不同:他虽然和我们同龄,却不能像我们一样自由自在地玩耍;他虽然有自己的喜怒哀乐,却无法被别人所了解。因为他得了一种叫自闭症的病,听说他们是上帝派来的天使。我的“天使”朋友有个好听的名字——罗意,他妈妈是希望他能早日发出心里的声音。

自从和罗意交了朋友以后,我每个周末都会在固定的时间陪他一起游戏,学习。在接触中,我发现他身上有很多叫人佩服的地方:别看他平时沉默不语,可在水里却是一个十足的运动健将;他的眼力可厉害了,拼图中的任何一点细微的差别都逃不过他的眼睛。

在罗意的世界里,我就是“巧克力”(因为我经常带巧克力给他吃)。虽然我无法真正地了解罗意,但我知道他是多么需要我们的关心和理解……

因为这分爱和给予,我愈发体会到自己是何等的幸福和幸运。

生活的准则有许多许多,可在我心中“爱”永远排在第一位。

我爱故我在!

篇4:关于代沟英语作文高中

全文共 1710 字

+ 加入清单

The generation gap is unavoidable in almost every family, which brings

about a number of conflicts in a family. In my opinion, to limit the bad effects

of the generation gap, each family should use the following three methods:

First of all, it is important that family members discuss openly about

their pleasures or sadness in childhood in family gatherings. This activity does

not only create a close relationship but also help build up understanding among

all members. For instance, once children are aware that their grandparents and

even their parents did not have a good upbringing during their hard childhood,

they will stop complaining about the previous generations’ obsoleteness. In the

meantime, once old people realize young people are nurtured in a new modern way,

it is easy for them to be tolerant of young people’s new habits or hobbies.

Secondly, people of each generation should not develop a very high feeling

about themselves. In order to do that, they should not think that they are the

only right people in their family because each person has his or her own

limitations. Teenagers would realize that their parents have to struggle with

pain to support them financially, and they would stop rebelling their

strictness. Parents would realize that their children’s new style does no harm

to their studies and stop imposing their own unsuitable standards on their

children.

Finally, the generation gap and its bad effects can be limited if all

members cooperate to build up a close-knit family relationship and a harmonious

atmosphere in which they are open and tolerant of each other. I strongly believe

that each family, by doing that, can enjoy a cozy atmosphere with minimum

interference by the generation gap.

Friend plays important role in our lives. Everyone needs his or her own

friends. Some people make friends easily but some do not. And “friend” means

differently to people. Some people think friends should stay together all the

time, but some others think that share and support is the real meaning of

friend. From my point of view, friend is the person who will always be with you

no matter what happens. It’s the person who can share your happiness as well as

篇7:高中英语作文写作技巧

全文共 1148 字

+ 加入清单

1、审题:审题是做到切题的第一步。所谓审题就是要看清题意,确定文章的中心思想、主题,并围绕中心思想组织材料。

2、进行构思,列出简单的提纲,打造文章之骨架:审好题、立好意后,就要写提纲,打造文章的骨架。文章布局要做好几件事:安排好层次段落,铺设好过渡,处理好开头和结尾。

3、扩展成文:根据字数多少扩展成篇。扩展的内容一定要紧扣主题,千万不要写那些与主题不相关的内容。展开的方式包括:顺序法、举例法、比较法、对比法、说明法、因果法、推导法、归纳法和下定义等。可以根据需要任选一种或几种方式。

在这一步骤中还需注意三方面问题:

1、确保提纲中段落结构的思路与各段主题句的一致性。只有这样,才能保证所写段落不偏题、不跑题。

2、要综合考虑各个段落的内容安排,避免段落内容的交叉。

3、用好连接词,注意段落间、句子间的连贯性。要做到所写文章层次分明,思路清晰,文字连贯,就需要在句与句之间、段与段之间架起一座座桥梁,而连接词起的正是桥梁作用。

在扩展的过程中也有些窍门,以下几点可供参考:

1、在整篇文章中,避免只是用一两个句式或重复用同一词语。英语中存在着极为丰富的同义词,准确地使用同义词可以给读者清新的感觉。同时要灵活运用各种句式,如倒装句、强调句、省略句、主从复合句、对比句、分词短语、介词短语等,从而增加文章的可读性。

2、使用不同长度的句子。如果一个意思用一句话写不清楚的话,通过分句和合句或用两句、三句来表达,增强句子的连贯性和表现力。

3、改变句子的开头方式,不要总是以主、谓、宾、状的次序。可以把状语至于句首,或用分词等。

4、学会使用过渡词。递进furthermore,moreover,besides,in addition,then,etc ;转折however,but,nevertheless,afterwards,etc ;总结finally,at last,in brief,to conclude,etc ;强调really,indeed,certainly,surely,above a11,etc ;对比in the same way,just as,on the other hand,etc。

5、确定文章用第几人称写,基本时态是什么。使用人称时人物不能张冠李戴或指代不明。时态要尽量保持一致。

检查修改:要检查复核,不要写完了事。

要留时间通读全文,修改可能出现的错误。检查上下文是否连贯,句子衔接是否自然流畅。检验的标准主要是句子是否通畅,该用连词的地方用了没有,所用的连词是否合适,是否有语法错误,主谓是否一致,动词的时态、语态、语气的使用是否正确,词组的搭配是否合乎习惯,是否有大小写、拼写、标点错误等,还有就是注意卷面整洁。

可归纳为:中心突出,主题明确;层次清楚,条理清晰;表达

温室里的花朵永远都是最脆弱的,学会独立是很重要的。下面是小编为你整理的关于独立的高中英语作文,希望你喜欢! 关于独立的高中英语作文篇1

Today in China,many families have only one child.So the children usually doted upon by all family members.Gradually some of them get used to depending on their parents and lack the ability to solve problems independently.

There are some ways to help children to be independent.Firstly,the child should have a chance to see the world around him.He must understand that there are various competitions in this world,and everyone can find his right position in the society only by individual efforts.Secondly,the parents should give the child enough help to make him feel comfortable.Its impossible to ask a child not to depend on parents at once.A child needs help from the beginning.Without any help,the child may lose his faith.At last,parents should let his child make decisions,which can temper his ability to deal with problems.

No parents can accompany the children for the whole life.It is the child himself who is responsible for her own fate.Only an independent person can live and succeed in this world.

今日的中国,很多家庭都只有一个孩子.所以孩子往往成为全家人生活的焦点.有些孩子逐渐养成了依赖家长的习惯,从而导致他们缺乏自己解决问题的能力.

这里有几点可以帮助孩子变得独立.首先,孩子应当正式他周围的世界,每个人只有通过自己的努力才能在社会中找到他自己的位置.其次,家长应给予孩子足够的温暖让他感到舒适.不能要求每个孩子从不依赖父母.孩子需要一个起跑的平台.没有任何帮助,孩子或许会失去信念.最后,家长应让孩子做决定,如何依靠自己的能力解决问题.

没有父母可以陪伴孩子一辈子.决定自己的命运是孩子肩负的责任.只有独立的人才能在这个世界生活并取得成功. 关于独立的高中英语作文篇2

When I was very small, I was so envious about the adults, because they could do whatever they wanted and did not have to depend on their parents. For me, I did not have money and my parents limited my pocket money, so I couldn’t spend the money to buy whatever I wanted. It seems to me that being an adult is my only wish. Some day, I learned from the movie that being an adult was not that as perfect as I thought. In the movie, the man struggled to earn money to pay his bills, what’s more, he had to stay away from his family. Loneliness was always around him. To be independent means we can live our own way and make our own decision. We have more freedom. But at the same time, it also means more annoyance. So why just we enjoy this moment.

在我很小的时候,我很羡慕成年人,因为他们可以做任何他们想做的,不必依赖他们的父母。对我来说,我没有钱,我的父母限制我的零花钱,所以我无法花钱去买所有我想要的。似乎成为一个成年人是我唯一的愿望。有一天,我从这部电影中了解到,作为一个成年人也没有我想象中的那么完美。在电影中,那个人努力挣钱来支付他的账单,更重要的是,他不得不远离他的家人。寂寞总是是围绕着他。独立意味着我们可以有自己的方式生活,做自己的决定。我们有的自由。但与此同时,这也意味着的烦恼。所以为什么不享受这一刻呢。 关于独立的高中英语作文篇3

When we talk about being independent, we often think about leaving our parents and living alone. The mental independence is always ignored by people, mental independence means the person can measure the things and make the right decision. As for the children, even they move out and stay far away from their parents, but sometimes they just can’t control themselves, they will get the bad behavior, like smoking and drinking, their life is losing control. The young people need to cultivate their independent spirit, they should think by themselves, learn to take care of the other people, thus they can be the real independent. When a person grows up, they can be strong enough to support their lives and at the same time, they can be mature enough to make their own decision. They can tell what is wrong and what is right.

当我们谈到成为独立,总是想要离开父母,独自居住。精神上的独立总是被人们忽略,精神上的独立意味着一个人能衡量事情,做出正确的决定。对于孩子来说,虽然他们搬出去,远离父母,但是有时候他们无法自控,养成不好的习惯。比如抽烟和喝酒,他们的生活会失控。年轻人需要养成独立精神,他们应该自己思考,学着去照顾别人,这样才能真正的独立。当一个人成长了,他们才能够足够的强大去养活自己,同时,也能够足够成熟去做决定。他们能区分什么是好,什么是坏。

Since I went to college, I feel so excited about the new chapter of my

life. I have imagined the campus life for so many years. Now I finally come to

this stage. I have much time after class, so I need to learn to deal with it.

After two years’ struggling, I find the right way to spend my time.

The first thing for every college student is to learn major knowledge. In

China, so many students think college time is used to play instead of study, so

they skip class. This is a big mistake. College is the stage for students to

master practical skills, which decides what kind of job they will work on. So I

study very hard from Monday to Friday. I don’t want to miss the important

knowledge.

The second thing for college students is to join the after-class

activities. Joining the activities can not only learn more skills, such as dance

and sports, but also can make friends. Campus is like a small society. Students

need to learn to make connections with other students, so that they can win more

chances. I learn a lot from my new friends and know how to communicate.

My college life is wonderful, I learn both knowledge and social skills.

俗话说:爆竹声中一岁除,春风送暖入屠苏。千门万户瞳瞳日,总把新桃换旧符。

一年只有一次,最热闹的也就是那个晚上,我盼望着那个晚上的到来,迎之后那个迷人的夜晚。

直到那个晚上的到来,给我带来了许多的快乐和乐趣。为了今年的“年夜大餐”,母亲和奶奶在除夕的前两天就开始“动工”了。因为母亲眼中的年夜饭是团圆饭,预示着新一年的开始,一切都要十全十美,不能有半点马虎。每到这时候,我便会言语谨慎,生怕不经意间说出什么不中听的或是不吉利的话,招来母亲的责骂。对我家而言,这一年一度的年夜饭已经不只是一顿简单的晚餐,更是全家都要参与的仪式。所以在物质生活极大丰富的这天,我们仍然保留了在家中吃年夜饭的习惯。

我家的年夜饭讲究分工合作,各司其责。母亲是总设计师,负责人员调度。父亲帮母亲打小工,负责买配菜,买调料,拿油盐酱醋、锅碗瓢盆;奶奶是总设计师的得力助手;爷爷则是烹饪几个他的拿手菜;我嘛,就负责“偷吃”,在有菜做好了后,我总以尝尝菜的咸淡,来偷吃做好的菜。

晚上七点整,我们的午夜大餐正式开始,一盘盘色香味俱全、香喷喷的饭菜端上桌来,我看得眼花缭乱。开饭喽!我狼吞虎咽的把这美味佳肴往嘴里塞。妈妈把果汁和红酒拿出来,倒在高脚杯里。我端起酒杯祝愿爸爸和妈妈———身体健康,笑口常开,工作顺利;祝愿爷爷奶奶——福如东海,寿比南山。

我家不仅仅年夜大餐丰盛,家庭也那么幸,我既为有一个会做美食的的妈妈感到骄傲,也为有一个美满的家庭。

一、阅读能力测试(100分)

第一题 请阅读下面的材料,按要求进行阅读能力测试。(70分)

荒原

“乔治,你能不能去看一下育儿房?”

“怎么了?”

“我也不知道。”

“那还说。”

“我只是要你去看看嘛,或者找个心理专家来看一下也可以。”

“心理专家看育儿房做什么?”

“你很清楚他能做些什么。”乔治的妻子莉迪娅在厨房中央停下脚步,望着电炉嗡嗡地闷头烹煮四人份的晚餐。

“反正,育儿房变得有点不太一样了。”

“好吧,咱们就去瞧瞧吧。”

他们沿着长廊走过这栋隔音效果绝佳的幸福爱巢——花了他们三万元安装自动设备,提供他们更衣、饱餐、安睡、嬉戏的场所,对他们无比体贴的房子。他们一走近,某处的开关便自动感应,育儿房的灯光随即在他们进入十英尺范围之内亮起。同样地,在他们背后,走廊里的电灯也随着他们的离去而陆续开启或关闭,发出轻柔的自动化声响。

“好啦。”乔治·哈德利说。

他们站在育儿房铺着茅草的地板上。这个房间长四十英尺、宽四十英尺、高三十英尺,花的钱相当于房子其他部分的半数。“不过,为了孩子,花费再多都值得。”乔治曾经这么说。

育儿房非常安静。里头沉寂得仿若正午时分暴晒在烈日下的林间空地。墙壁空荡荡的,而且是二维空间。此刻,乔治和莉迪娅站在房间中央,看见几堵墙壁嗡嗡地开始震动,接着变成水晶墙面,并且不断往后退;瞬间出现一大片非洲大草原,四面都是三维空间,色彩则是仿佛重现了极细水晶和碎麦秆的色调。两人头顶的天花板则变成大片深邃的天空,悬着一轮黄澄澄的炽热太阳。

乔治·哈德利的眉毛开始冒汗。

“咱们赶紧找个阴凉的地方吧,”他说,“这景象太逼真了。可是我看不出哪里不对劲。”

“等一下你就知道了。”他妻子说。

这时候,暗藏的气味声律系统(odorophonics)开始朝着大草原中央的夫妻俩吹起一阵夹带着各种气味的微风。火热的麦秆闻起来像狮子草,清爽的绿色有着阴凉水潭的味道;加上带有铁锈味的浓烈动物体臭,仿佛在空气中撒满了红椒粉的尘埃味。此外还有各种声音:远方羚羊的足蹄踩着泥草地的蹬蹬闷响,秃鹰群的窸窣骚动声。一团黑影在空中掠过,影子在乔治·哈德利仰起的脸上晃了几下。

“讨厌的东西。”他听见妻子说。

“是秃鹰。”

“你看,那里有一群狮子,在草原那儿。它们正准备走回水潭。它们刚刚才吃饱了,”莉迪娅说,“不知道他们吃了什么。”

“别的野兽吧。”乔治·哈德利眯着眼睛,举起手来遮蔽酷热的阳光。“也许是斑马或者小长颈鹿。”

“真的?”他妻子紧张兮兮。

“难说。不过,现在谈这个也未免太迟了,”他笑了笑,“那里只剩一堆白骨了,还有那些冲下来捡食残余的秃鹰。”

“你听见尖叫声吗?”她问。

“没有。”

“大约一分钟前?”

“抱歉,没听见。”

那群狮子走了过来。乔治·哈德利不得不再度佩服起当初设计这房间的机械天才。这样的效能奇迹,要价却相当低廉,每个家庭都该安装一套才对。当然了,偶尔你也会为它们那科学的精确性感到吃惊,你会被吓一跳,心头猛一震,不过,多数时候,它们带来的是一种人人向往的趣味,不只是对你的孩子而言,也包括你自己,尤其当你突然想体验异国风情、转换一下景致的时候。瞧,得来全不费工夫!

眼前出现的是狮子,就在十五英尺外,那么逼真,热腾腾活生生的。你仿佛可以触摸到它们尖刺的毛发;你嘴里似乎充满它们那热烫皮肤所发散的带着尘埃味的皮革气息;它们身上的黄色看来就像是精致的法国织锦,跟夏季枯草的色调如此协调;狮子缠结的肺囊在寂寥正午的吸气声清晰可闻;还有它们那滴着唾涎的嘴巴里伴着喘息飘散的兽肉气味。

狮群站在那儿,恐怖的绿黄色眼珠瞪着乔治和莉迪娅。

“小心!”莉迪娅尖叫。

狮群冲着他们跑过来。

莉迪娅立刻逃开。乔治也本能地跟在她后头狂奔。到了外面走廊,砰一声关上房门,他大笑起来,她却哭个不停。两人站在那儿,为对方的反应惊愕不已。

“乔治!”

“莉迪娅!啊,我亲爱的、可怜又可爱的莉迪娅!”

“我们差点被追上了!”

“只是墙壁,莉迪娅,要记得,那只不过是水晶墙壁罢了。当然,我得承认,它们实在太逼真了——非洲就在我们家客厅——可是那些都是超动感、超灵敏的三围空间彩色影片和心理录音纪录片,全都只是气味声律和音响效果啊,莉迪娅。手帕拿去吧。”

“我好害怕,”她走向他,依偎在他怀里,呜呜地啜泣起来,“你看见没有?你感觉到了吗?好像真的喔。”

“好啦,莉迪娅……”

“你一定要告诉温迪和彼得,不要再想非洲的事了。”

“好——好。”他拍抚着她。

“一定?”

“当然。”

“把育儿房上锁几天,等我情绪平稳了再说。”

“你又不是不清楚,彼得对这种事有多敏感。一个月前,我为了惩罚他,把育儿房上锁了几小时,结果他闹翻了天!温迪也一样。育儿房是他们的宝贝。”

“非上锁不可,没得通融。”

“好吧。”他不情愿地把那扇巨大的门关上,“你工作太辛苦了,需要休息一下。”

“我不知道——真的不知道。”她长叹一口气,找了张椅子坐下。椅子立刻摇晃起来,感觉很舒适。“也许我还不够忙。也许我太空闲了,才会胡思乱想。我们把整间房子的装置关闭一段时间,过几天正常生活,好不好?”

“你是说,你愿意亲手为我炒蛋?”

“对啊。”她点点头。

“还有缝我的袜子?”

“嗯。”她慌乱地点着头,眼泪汪汪。

“还有打扫整间屋子?”

“是的。是——我愿意!”

“可是我记得,我们买这所房子的目的,不就是为了可以不必动手做家务事吗?”

“问题就出在这里。我没有了归属感。房子已经是妻子、母亲兼保姆。我怎么跟非洲大草原竞争?我替孩子们洗澡、刷洗身体的效率和速度,怎么比得上那座自动刷洗浴缸?根本没得比。不只是我,你也一样。你最近也是烦躁不安。”

“我想我大概是烟抽得太凶了。”

“你在这屋子里也是一副不知所措的样子。跟以前比起来,你每天早上抽烟抽得更凶了,下午喝更多的酒,晚上也得吃更多镇静剂。你也开始觉得自己没用了。”

“是吗?”他犹豫着,尝试深入自己内心的真实感受。

“唉,乔治!”她望着他背后的育儿房门,“那些狮子不会跑出来吧?”

他望着房门,发现它在颤动,好像被什么东西从里面用力推撞着。

“当然不会。”他说。

***

晚上只有夫妻俩一起用餐,因为温迪和彼得进城参加一场特殊造型嘉年华去了,还传了视频回来,说他们会晚点回家,请双亲别等他们吃饭。此刻,乔治·哈德利坐在那里,出神地望着餐桌从它的内部机械装置吐出一盘盘温热的食物。

“漏了西红柿酱。”他说。

“抱歉。”一个细小的声音从餐桌内传出,接着送出西红柿酱。

至于育儿房,乔治·哈德利心想,既然上了锁,便暂时伤害不了孩子们。任何事情,过了头都不是好现象。而孩子们显然花太多时间想非洲的事了。那轮太阳,他仍然能感觉到,它晒在他脖子上,就像只炽热的爪子。还有那群狮子,以及鲜血的气味。奇妙的是,育儿房能够捕捉孩子们的心念所发射的电波,然后创造出生动的影像来满足他们的所有欲念。孩子们想到狮子,就真的出现了狮子。孩子们想到斑马,就出现了斑马。要太阳,有太阳。要长颈鹿,有长颈鹿。要死亡,有死亡。

这最后一项是个问题。他无味地嚼着餐桌替他切好的肉块。关于死亡的意念,温迪和彼得还那么幼小,不该想到死亡的事。或者,并非如此。其实这种事永远不嫌早,也许早在你明白死亡是怎么回事之前,你就曾经希望某个人死掉。例如,你两岁那年用纸弹玩具枪对着人猛射的时候。

可是,像这样——在酷热的非洲大草原中——惨死于狮子的利牙,而且一再上演,似乎不像是开玩笑。

“你要去哪里?”

乔治没回答莉迪娅,只是出神地朝育儿房悄悄走过去,一路让前方的灯微微亮起,接着在他背后熄灭。他贴着房门聆听。远远的,有只狮子在吼叫。

他开了锁,打开房门。就在进门前,他听见远远的一声尖叫,紧接着一声来自狮群的狂吼,然后便安静下来。

他一脚踏进非洲。几年来,他曾经无数次打开这道房门,发现里头的爱丽丝梦游仙境、大海龟、阿拉丁神灯、南瓜头杰克、怪医杜立德,还有从一轮无比真实的月亮飞跃过去的乳牛——这都是属于童话世界的各种奇妙事物。不知多少次,他看见飞马在幻化成天空的天花板上翱翔,还有宛如喷泉的红色烟火,或者听见天使的歌声。如今,却是炙热的非洲荒漠,一个在热浪中上演着杀戮事件的大烤炉。也许莉迪娅说得对,也许他们需要休息一阵子,远离这些幻境;对十岁的孩子来说,这些景致实在太赤裸裸了。运用想象力的训练来锻炼头脑是件好事,可是当孩子的幻想老是绕着某个模式打转……过去一个月来,他有好几次隐约听见远方传来狮吼声,甚至闻到它们那浓烈的气味一路飘向他的书房门口。可是他太忙了,没怎么放在心上。

乔治·哈德利独自站在非洲的大草原上。猎食中的狮群纷纷抬起头,注视着他。这场逼真幻境的唯一漏洞是敞开的房门,他可以从那儿看见他妻子在黑暗走廊的那端,像幅照片似的,出神地吃着晚餐。

“走开。”他对那群狮子说。

没有反应。

他非常清楚这房间的规则。你发射你的意志。无论你想什么,都会成真。

“阿拉丁神灯快出现。”他大声说。

那篇大莽原毫无变化,狮群也还在那儿。

“快啊,臭房间!我要阿拉丁!”他说。

一切依然如故。毛皮被烤得发烫的狮群继续大嚼着食物。

“阿拉丁!”

他回到餐桌前。“那蠢房间竟然不听话,”他说,“没反应。”

“也许——”

“也许什么?”

“也许它没办法反应,”莉迪娅说,“因为孩子们最近老想着非洲、狮子和杀戮的事,那房间已经积习难改了。”

“大概吧!”

“或者是因为,彼得做了设定,让它维持现状。”

“设定?”

“说不定他打开过它的机械装置,偷偷修改了。”

“彼得根本不懂机械的东西。”

“他比谁都聪明,他的智商——”

“可是——”

“你好,妈妈。你好,爸爸。”

哈德利夫妇转过头去。温迪和彼得踏进家门,脸颊光滑得犹如薄荷糖,眼珠像玛瑙大理石般晶亮,两人的连身背心娃娃装散发着直升机之旅残留的清新气息。

“你们刚好赶上吃晚餐。”夫妻俩说。

“我们吃了好多草莓冰淇淋和热狗,”两个孩子手牵手说,“不过我们可以坐下来看你们吃。”

“好,过来告诉爸妈育儿房的事。”乔治·哈德利说。

兄妹俩朝他眨了眨眼,然后对望了一下。“育儿房?”

“就是非洲草原什么的。”做父亲的假装快活地说。

“不懂。”彼得说。

“你母亲和我刚刚经历了一趟如假包换的非洲之旅,见识了大草原和狮子。”乔治·哈德利说。

“育儿房里面没有非洲啊。”彼得回了句。

“少来了,彼得,你明明知道有。”

“我不记得有什么非洲,”彼得对温迪说,“你记得吗?”

“不记得。”

“你快去看一下。”

她照着做了。

“温迪,回来!”乔治·哈德利说,可是她已经跑远。屋里的灯光随着她的脚步,像一连串烟火般闪烁变化。太迟了,他突然想起,刚才进育儿房检查之后忘了把门上锁。

“让温迪去看一下,再回来告诉我们。”彼得说。

“不需要她来告诉我。我看过了。”

“你一定是弄错了,父亲。”

“我没有,彼得。我们去瞧瞧吧。”

这时候温迪回来了。“不是非洲啊。”她喘着气说。

“我们一起去看个清楚。”乔治·哈德利说。于是一家人通过走廊,打开育儿房门。

里头是一片美丽的翠绿色森林,一条美丽的河流,一座紫色山丘,还有嘹亮的歌声;神秘迷人的印第安少女在树林间跳跃,成群的蝴蝶随着她的长发飘飞,犹如舞动的花束。那片非洲莽原消失了,狮群也不见了。房里只有印第安少女,正唱着一首引人落泪的美丽歌曲。

乔治·哈德利探头望着已然改变的景致。“回房睡觉去。”他对孩子们说。

两个孩子张大了嘴。

“别装作没听见。”他说。

他们走到抽风室,一股风流将他们像落叶似的往上一吸,顺着风管送到他们的睡房。

乔治· 哈德利越过那片充满歌声的林间绿地,在先前狮子聚集的位置附近捡起一样东西。他缓缓走回妻子身边。

“什么东西?”她问。

“我的一只旧皮夹。”他说。

他拿给她看。上面还沾着温热青草和狮子的气味,还有几滴唾液,显然被嚼过了,两侧甚至还黏着几抹血迹。

他关上育儿房门,牢牢上了锁。

半夜,他仍然醒着。他知道妻子同样睡不着。“你想,会不会是温迪修改的?”她终于开口。房里一片黑暗。

“还用说吗!”

“把大莽原变成森林,用印第安少女取代狮子?”

“没错。”

“为什么呢?”

“我也不知道。反正得等我查出个究竟之后,那个房间才能再打开。”

“你的皮夹怎么会跑到那里面?”

“你又问倒我了,”他说,“我只知道一件事:我已经开始后悔给他们购置那个房间了。要是孩子们有一点神经质,像那样的房间——”

“那房间应该是有益孩子健康,能帮助他们克服神经质才对。”

“我开始怀疑它的功能了。”他盯着天花板说。

“他们要什么我们就给什么。看看我们得到什么回报——耍神秘,顽抗不从?”

“是谁说过‘孩子就像地毯,必须经常踩一踩’?我们从来就舍不得打他们。老实说,他们太任性了,来去全看他们高兴,而且当我们是小孩似的。他们太娇宠,我们太放任。”

“自从几个月前你禁止他们搭火箭去纽约之后,他们就一直在闹别扭。”

“他们还太小,不能参加那种旅行,这我解释过了呀!”

“可是我注意到了,从那时候起,他们就决心跟我们对抗到底。”

“我想明天我还是请戴维·麦克林过来一趟,要他看一下非洲。”

“可是非洲已经不见了,现在是绿野仙境和印第安少女了。”

“我感觉,到了明天一定又会变回非洲。”

片刻后,他们听见尖叫声。

两声。是从楼下传来的人声。接着是一阵狮吼。

“温迪和彼得不在他们的睡房里。”他妻子说。

他躺在床上,心怦怦地跳。“糟了,”他说,“他们跑进育儿房了。”

“那两声尖叫——很耳熟。”

“是吗?”

“是啊,非常耳熟。”

尽管他们的床努力地摇,一小时过去了,还是无法将这两个大人摇入梦乡。夜色中弥漫着一股猫科动物的气味。

“父亲?”彼得说。

“什么事?”

彼得低头盯着鞋子。他很久不曾正眼看父亲一下了,还有母亲。“你不会一直把育儿房上锁吧,会吗?”

“这得看情况。”

“什么情况?”彼得问。

“看你和妹妹的表现啰。如果你愿意把非洲风景稍微变化一下,例如,加一点瑞典风,或者丹麦风,或者中国风——”

“我还以为我们怎么玩都可以。”

“确实如此,但也是有限度的。”

“非洲有什么不好呢,父亲?”

“你终于承认非洲是你想象出来的?”

“我不希望育儿房被锁上,”彼得冷静地说,“不希望它永远关闭。”

“其实,我们正在考虑把这房子的所有装置关闭一个月左右,开始过一种比较正常、自己动手做家务事的生活。”

“听起来好可怕!我是不是必须自己绑鞋带,鞋子不会自己绑好?还有自己刷牙、梳头发、洗澡?”

“变化一下会很有趣的,你不觉得吗?”

“不,糟透了。上个月你把自动画图机搬出去,好讨厌。”

“那是因为我希望你能练习自己动手画画啊,儿子。”

“我才不要,我只要能看能听能闻到味道就够了,其他什么也不想做。”

“好吧,去玩你的非洲吧。”

“你很快就要把所有机器都关闭吗?”

“正在考虑。”

“我觉得你还是不要这么做比较好,父亲。”

“我不会接受自己儿子的威胁!”

“算了。”彼得缓缓走向育儿房。

“我没迟到吧?”戴维·麦克林说。

“一起吃早餐好吗?”乔治·哈德利问。

“谢谢,吃过了。出了什么事?”

“戴维,你是心理学专家。”

“我尽力。”

“好,请你看一下我们的育儿房。一年前你顺道来看过一次,那时候你可曾发现有什么不寻常的?”

“不算有,只是一些普通的暴力迹象,某些地方发现了轻微的偏执倾向,这在儿童身上很常见,因为孩子们总觉得自己受到父母的迫害,这没什么大不了的。”

他们通过走廊。“我原本把育儿房上了锁,”做父亲的解释说,“昨晚孩子们又闯了进去。我让他们在里面待了一阵子,好让你看看他们想象的景致。”

育儿房传出一声可怕的尖叫。

“就这个,”乔治·哈德利说,“看你能观察出什么来。”

他们进了房间,没有说话,以免打扰孩子们。

尖叫声已减弱。狮群正在进食。

“孩子们,你们先出去一下,”乔治·哈德利说,“不,别改变你们的心理状态,让墙壁保持现在的样子。走吧!”

孩子们离开后,两个成年人站在那里,仔细看着远处群聚的狮子,它们正大口嚼食着刚刚猎捕到的不知什么东西。

“要是能看清楚那是什么就好了,”乔治·哈德利说,“有几次我差点就看到了。你想我是不是该把高倍望远镜拿进来,然后——”

戴维·麦克林干笑了几声。“不需要。”他转身观察着四面墙壁,“这现象持续多久了?”

“一个多月。”

“的确让人感觉不太舒服。”

“我要的是具体事实,不是感觉。”

“亲爱的乔治,心理学者一辈子都无法看见事实的,他只能聆听各种感觉和暧昧的事物。告诉你吧,这地方感觉不太好。要相信我的灵感和直觉,我对不祥的事感应很灵敏。这真的很不妙。我建议你把这房间整个拆掉,从明天起,每天带你的小孩来找我治疗,持续一年。”

“这么严重?”

“恐怕如此。这种育儿房的基本功能之一,就是让我们可以观察孩子们的意念在墙上形成的图形模式,供我们闲暇时研究,以帮助孩子们。不过就这个案例来看,这房间已经变成通向——而不是远离——破坏性思维的管道了。”

“难道上次你没有这种感觉?”

“当时我只觉得,你太宠你的小孩了。可是现在他们却对你很不满。怎么回事?”

“我不准他们去纽约。”

“还有呢?”

“我把几台电器搬了出去,一个月前还威胁他们说,要是他们不好好做功课,我就把育儿房给关闭。后来我真的把它关闭了好几天,让他们知道我不是说着玩的。”

“哈,哈!”

“这么做有关系吗?”

“关系可大呢。他们本来拥有的圣诞老人,如今却变成了吝啬鬼。孩子们当然比较喜欢圣诞老人了。你让这房间取代了你和你妻子在孩子心中的地位。对他们来说,这房间是母亲,也是父亲,在他们生活中的分量远远超过真正的双亲。现在你却要把它给关闭,也难怪他们会恨你。看那片天空,就可以感觉得出来。还有那太阳。你必须改变一下你的生活,乔治。你跟许多人一样,太依赖人造装置带来的舒适了。要是明天你厨房里的什么电器出了问题,你就得饿肚子了,你连打个蛋都不会。所以,把所有机器都关掉吧。现在就关。这需要一点时间适应。可是顶多花个一年,我们一定能把孩子们教好的,你等着瞧吧。”

“可是,对孩子们来说,把育儿房永远关闭,这冲击会不会太大了些?”

“我只是不希望他们愈陷愈深。”

狮群已享受完一顿红色飨宴。

它们站在林间空地边缘,盯着这两个男人。

“这下换成我感觉受到迫害了,”麦克林说,“咱们快滚吧。我向来不喜欢这种房间,总觉得心里发毛。”

“那些狮子好逼真,对吧?”乔治·哈德利说,“它们该不会——”

“怎么样?”

“——该不会变成真的吧?”

“应该不会。”

“万一机械装置有漏洞,被窜改什么的?”

“不会的。”

他们走向门口。

“我想这房间一定不喜欢被关闭吧。”做父亲的说。

“没人喜欢死亡——就算只是个房间也不例外。”

“我在想,它会不会恨我打算把它上锁?”

“今天这儿的偏执味相当浓厚,”戴维·麦克林说,“你继续钻牛角尖吧,老兄。”他弯身捡起一条沾血的领巾。“你的?”

“不是,”乔治·哈德利表情僵硬地说,“是莉迪娅的。”

他们一起来到保险丝盒前,将开关一扳,终结了育儿房。

两个孩子闹得天翻地覆。他们不停尖叫,耍脾气,乱丢东西,又哭又吼,还骂人,在家具上跳来跳去。

“你们不可以这样对育儿房,不可以!”

“好啦,孩子们。”

小孩们扑倒在沙发上,悲伤地大哭。

“乔治,”莉迪娅说,“把育儿房打开,几分钟就好,这样太突然了。”

“不行。”

“你不能这么霸道。”

“莉迪娅,已经关上,就不会再打开了。这屋子里的所有装置也要马上关闭。我越看咱们买来的这一大批家当,就越觉得讨厌。我们在这些机械电子玩意儿上投注太多心力了。老天,我们真需要呼吸一点淳朴的空气啊!”

他说完便走到屋子各处,把语音时钟、电炉、电暖器和自动擦鞋、系鞋带、擦澡、拖地的机器,以及所有他够得着的电器全部切断电源。

屋子里仿佛躺满了尸体,感觉犹如一座机械的坟墓,静得可怕。机器内部那些静候着按键声啪嗒一响而启动的潜藏能量,如今一丝都听不见。

“别听爸妈的话!”彼得朝着天花板哀号,仿佛在对育儿房说话那样。“别让父亲害死你们!”接着他转身对他的父亲说:“啊,我讨厌你!”

“再怎么骂我也没用的。”

“希望你死掉!”

“我是死了很长一段时间没错。现在我们要真正开始生活了。我们要活起来,而不是把自己交给机器去处置操弄。”

温迪仍然哭个不停,彼得也跟着大哭起来。“再玩一分钟,一分钟就好,让我们再玩一下育儿房啦!”他们泪流满面地哀求。

“唉,乔治,”莉迪娅说,“应该问题不大吧。”

“好吧——好吧,但是要马上关闭。注意,只能玩一分钟,然后就要永远关起来。”

“爸爸真好,爸爸真好!”孩子们尖叫起来,破涕为笑。

“然后我们要出发去旅行。半小时后戴维·麦克林会过来帮我们搬家,然后送我们去机场。我要去换衣服了。一分钟后你们必须把育儿房给关上。莉迪娅,记得喔,一分钟。”

三人交头接耳地离去,乔治则搭乘风管上楼,开始更衣。一分钟后,莉迪娅也上楼来。

“真高兴我们终于要离开了。”她叹了口气。

“你把他们留在育儿房了?”

“我也得换衣服啊。唉,可怕的非洲,那到底有什么好看的呢?”

“无所谓了。再过五分钟咱们就要出发去爱荷华州。老天,当初我们怎么会搬进这里的?为什么买了这么可怕的房子呢?”

“虚荣,金钱,愚蠢。”

“我们最好赶紧下楼去,免得孩子们又被那些野兽给迷昏了头。”

他们沿着风管下了楼,跑着通过走廊。可是不见两个孩子的踪影。“温迪?彼得?”

他们跑进育儿房。那片大莽原空荡荡的,只剩几只狮子在那里,冲着他们张望。“彼得?温迪?”

这时,房门砰地关上。

“温迪,彼得!”

乔治·哈德利和他的妻子惊慌地转身,往门口急奔。

“开门!”乔治·哈德利大叫,努力转动着门钮。“糟糕,门从外面锁上了!彼得!”他敲打着门板,“快开门啊!”

他紧贴着房门,听见门外响起彼得的声音。

“别让他们把育儿房还有整个家关掉。”

乔治·哈德利夫妇用力敲门。“好啦,别闹了,孩子们。我们该出发了,麦克林先生马上就要来了,而且……”

接着,他们听见一阵响动。

大莽原上,狮群正从三个方向,踏着干黄的草地靠近过来,喉咙里咕噜噜地发出低吼。

狮子。

乔治看了妻子一眼,两人转身,和那群野兽对望。它们缓缓逼近,蹲伏着,尾巴竖起。

乔治夫妇惊叫起来。

他们突然明白了,先前他们听见的那些尖叫声为何会那么耳熟。

“我来啦!”戴维·麦克林出现在育儿房门口。“嗨,你们好。”他向两个孩子招呼道。他们正坐在那片林间绿地的中央,像野餐那样吃着简单的午饭。他们背后是水潭和黄色的莽原,头顶一轮火热的太阳。他开始冒汗。“爸爸妈妈呢?”

孩子们抬头,微笑着说:“噢,他们马上就来。”

“很好,我们该出发了。”麦克林远远看见一群狮子挥舞着爪子互相缠斗,随后便恢复平静,开始在树荫下大嚼起来。

他举手遮着太阳,眯眼望向那群狮子。

这时狮群已填饱肚子,转往水潭去喝水。

麦克林先生的脸上掠过一抹黑影,接着更多阴影闪过,一群秃鹰从耀眼的天空俯冲而下。

“要喝茶吗?”一片沉寂中,温迪问他。

近年来,网上购物作为一种新兴的消费模式应运而生。与传统购物方式相比,网上购物具备能使消费者不受时间地点的制约,了解商品信息更加深入全面,同时节约消费者的时间和体力、消除消费者与商家的面对面冲突等优势。而随着互联网的普及,网络购物的优点变得更加突出,日益成为一种重要的全球购物形式与潮流。

在中国,网上购物蓬勃发展的最明显标志,莫过于“双11”节了。从2009年开始,每年的11月11号,以天猫、京东、苏宁易购为代表的大型电子商务网站都会利用这一天来进行一些大规模的打折促销,以提高销售额度,由此逐渐成为中国互联网最大规模的商业促销狂欢活动。其中以天猫为代表,2009年,天猫商城“双11”销售额为0.5亿元。2012年达到191亿元。2014年11月11日凌晨,活动开场仅到第3分钟,阿里的平台成交额已突破10亿元人民币。而在2015年11月11日,只用了1分12秒,天猫“双11”交易额就已超过10亿,最终全天交易额达912.17亿元。2009年以前,11月11日不过是一个普普通通的日子,而到2012年,它却成了一个标志性节点,一个销售传奇,一个网络卖家、平台供应商、物流企业的必争之地。

当人们在享受“双11”这场消费盛宴的同时,却逐渐认识到,如果物流没有跟上,盛宴就会变成一场灾难。每年“双11”之后,快递公司在短时间内突然收到太多快件,来不及分拣,甚至没办法再收件,就会出现“爆仓”现象,快递变“慢递”。这就导致了消费者抱怨送货慢,货品送到已经挤压变形;而快递员则抱怨工作累强度大,快件送不完的现象。为了解决这些问题,除了增添人手、提前发货、扩大仓库容量等传统应对方式之外是否还有更多的创新突破呢?

问题:

“双11”过后,重庆市某快递物流公司遭遇了“爆仓”的情况。董事长加急聘用了兼职的快递员,但是仍然被客户投诉,送货慢、货品挤压变形、送错地址等问题给公司声誉造成了负面的影响。而公司员工则向董事长反映工作压力大,货物送不完的情况。为了解决公司存在的问题,挽回公司的声誉,董事长决定向社会征集能够改善公司现状的科技创新的点子。请你结合目前的情况,从科技创新的角度,为董事长提出一些办法,解决他的难题。

要求:请提供科技的解决手段,并附基本的说明及优劣势分析。(不超过400字)

二、创新作文写作(100分)

当地时间2015年8月22日,第73届雨果奖在美国华盛顿州斯波坎会议中心正式揭晓,中国科幻作家刘慈欣凭借《三体》获最佳长篇故事奖。这是亚洲人首次获得雨果奖这一世界性科幻大奖,也是中国科幻走出国门走向世界的重要一步。

科幻文学重不重要?答案不言而喻。对于一个民族来说,踏实走路与恣意想象都是不可或缺的生存能力,而科幻作品正是澎湃的探索欲与激昂的想象力的逻辑性合体。此外,从某种意义上讲,科幻文学具有开辟道路的作用。著名科幻作家凡尔纳,当年在其作品《从地球到月球》中提供的登月方案,所描述的绕月飞行后来被一一验证;在《海底两万里》中描绘的潜水艇,更比潜水艇的发明提前了100年……

请发挥你的想象,写一篇科幻小说,主题自定,题目自拟,字数限1500~1800之间。

Tourism in China

Recent years have seen a tendency in China that tourism is growing faster. According to a recent survey made by some experts, about 47% urban residents travel regularly, and 28% rural residents also make their tour across the country. The survey also shows that more people are interested in tourism, and will join the army in the future.

Facing this tendency, we can’t help exploring some underlying factors that are responsible. In the very first place, with the policy of reform and opening up, Chinese people’s living standard has been greatly improved, and therefore, most of them can afford to travel around. What’s more, it is believed that people now take a more positive attitude to tourism, and regard it as a life style. In addition, tourism facilities are becoming better and better. For example, transportation develops fast, and many scenic spots are available now.

面对这一趋势,我们不能不说是负责任的开发一些潜在因素。在第一个地方,随着改革开放政策,对中国人民的生活水平有了很大提高,因此,他们大多数都不能周游。更重要的是,它相信,人们现在更积极的态度,旅游业,把它作为一种生活方式。此外,旅游设施正在变得越来越好。例如,交通运输发展迅速,许多景点都已经上市。

Most westerners always celebrate Christmas Day as their major festival, in

order to memorialize Jesus. During that time, they always have several days off,

so they can enjoy this festival with all their hearts. The children often get

together with their friends. The adults are busy with decorating their houses.

They also send the postcards with their best wishes to each other. In the

streets, there are so many Fathers Christmas sending presents to the passers-by.

And everything is on a discount in the supermarkets. Thus the supermarkets are

the busiest places.

In the evening, the families usually have pudding, sandwiches, apple pies

and some other desserts for dinner. After supper, the families always sing and

dance around the Christmas tree. Sometimes, they also go to church. Before going

to bed, the children often hang up their stockings beside their bed, so that

Father Christmas will fill them with presents. It is said that Father Christmas

always drives a deer to the human world and entering into each house from the

chimney. Now the children no longer believe in Father Christmas, but they still

hang up their stockings, because their parents will fill them with presents.

ChenMo is my desk mate who is a good student in the eyes of classmates andteachers.

She is the first one to get to school every day.

Usually, she spendshalf an hour in learning English that takes us much to remember vocabularies andread the articles. Moreover, she not only focuses on her own study, but alsohelps other students in need.

Classmates like asking her for help, because sheis always ready for help.

However, I prefer to regard her as my friend ratherthan desk mate.

We communicate with each other frequently after class.

We discussour study as well as share our lives. She is desperately interested in playingbadminton, so do I. We would play badminton very Friday after class, whichhelps us relax ourselves as well build our body. It’s so great to have a deskmate that has interest in common.

陈茉是我的同桌,她是老师和同学眼里的好学生。她每天都是第一个到教室的。

通常,她会花半个小时学习英语。英语需要花比较多的时间去记单词和读课文。陈茉不仅专注于自己的学习,也积极帮助其他有需要的同学。

同学们喜欢找她帮忙,因为她总是那么乐于助人。

但是,在我眼里,她不仅是我的同桌,更是我的朋友。课后,我们经常相互交流,讨论学习问题或是分享彼此的生活。她很喜欢打羽毛球,我也一样。我们常常会在周五下课后打羽毛球,这不仅能使我们得到放松,也有益于我们的身体健康。能有一个拥有相同兴趣爱好的同桌真是太好了。

Oceans becoming more acidicThe worlds oceans are slowly getting more acidic, say scientists.The researchers from California say the change is taking place in response to higher levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.The lowering of the waters pH value is not great at the moment but could pose a serious threat to current marine life if it continues, they warn.Ken Caldeira and Michael Wickett, from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, report their concerns in the journal Nature.Increasing use of fossil fuels means more carbon dioxide is going into the air, and most of it will eventually be absorbed by seawater.

Once in the water, it reacts to form carbonic acid.Scientists believe that the oceans have already become slightly more acidic over the last century.But these researchers have tried to predict what will happen in the future by combining what we know about the history of the oceans with computer models of climate change."This level of acidity will get much more extreme in the future if we continue releasing CO2 into the atmosphere," said Dr Caldeira."And we predicted amounts of future acidity that exceed anything we saw over the last several hundred million years, apart from perhaps after rare catastrophic events such as asteroid impacts."If carbon dioxide release continues unabated, ocean pH could be reduced by as much as 0.77 units, the authors warn.It is not absolutely clear what that means for marine life, however.

Most organisms live near the surface, where the greatest pH change would be expected to occur, but deep-ocean lifeforms may be more sensitive to pH changes.Coral reefs and other organisms whose skeletons or shells contain calcium carbonate may be particularly affected, the team speculate. They could find it much more difficult to build these structures in water with a lower pH.In recent years some people have suggested deliberately storing carbon dioxide from power stations in the deep ocean as a way of curbing global warming.But Dr Caldeira said that such a strategy should now be re-considered."Previously, most experts had looked at ocean absorption of carbon dioxide as a good thing - because in releasing CO2 into the atmosphere we warm the planet; and when CO2 is absorbed by the ocean, it reduces the amount of greenhouse warming.
