我国古代有一位爱国诗人叫屈原，他遭谗言被放逐后，无力拯救危亡的国家，悲愤过度，于是投江自尽，以生殉国。人们为了不使鱼虾吃掉他的尸体，纷纷将捏成的各种各样的饼子投入江中，用来喂饱水中的动物，有的划着船在水上敲锣打鼓驱赶水兽。这便成为现在端午节，吃粽子、炸糕点、赛龙舟的由来。

说到这里，我又想起了我家过端午节的情景。奶奶捏了种类不同的饼子，有小花，小人，小海星，真是形态各异。妈妈急着去买菜角，爸爸不慌不忙地拉着我去买粽子。排着长长的队，好似一条长龙，我们好不容易才买到了粽子。可以看出，家家户户都很重视这个节日，人们用这种方式来表达对屈原的思念和崇敬。

Environmental problems are as big as not for individual country or individual people to address。 In other word， we have reached the stage that environmental problems be solved for international view。 To what extent do you agree or disagree?

In recent years， many nations have bee more aware of the environmental issues each nation faces， such as air and water pollution。 The question is， are the environmental issues a national problem or an international problem? It is my belief that the environmental issues have grown to the point of being an international problem needing international cooperation to resolve。

Because of the differences in environmental policies， resources and technology， international cooperation could provide quicker results and have a greater impact on bringing resolution to environmental problems for nations of differing environmental policies and of lesser resources and technology。 By pooling international resources and technology to address the environmental problems， the disadvantaged nations are provided the assistance needed。 Otherwise their environmental conditions deteriorate ultimately affecting the resources and environment of the world as a whole。

One of the difficulities to an international resolution to environmental issues is the difference in individual nations view and policies toward environmental protection。 In order for international cooperation to occur and succeed， the nations of the world must submit themselved to international standards and supervision by an international mission elected by the participating nations of the world。 All members must agree to abide by the standards established。

The environmental issues facing each country are not unrelated to the well being of the rest of the world。 The impact is long term and international in scope。 Without international cooperation and agreement to address such environmental issues as glacial melting at the South Pole， depletion of the ozone layer， water pollution， air polution， etc。， the environmental conditions of the world will deteriorate to the detriment of every nation， not just those that ignore or lack the resources and technology to resolve their individual environmental problems。

As part of the same planet， it is the responsibility of each individual and nation to protect the global environment。 Only international cooperation will provide the timely solutions and the effectiveness needed to stop the deteriorating global environment。

Hello, everyone. I’m am a student in No.1 Middle School. I’m very proud that I have been chosen to speak to you all today.How to protect/save our environment/world?

The environmental pollution is worse and worse /more and more seriously today. Water is polluted ,we have no clean water to drink Many trees are cutting down, some animals is getting less and less.Some factories is poring dirty air in the sky , the population is increasing faster and faster ,resources is getting less and less…etc. Not only does it affect our lives and health, it also has a great affection in the future.

The first fact I worry about is noise pollution. People can"t sleep well if there is too much noise. That"s why so many people prefer to live in the countryside rather than live in the noisy city. I suggest all the factories and cars shouldn"t make terrible noises. If they make terrible noise that isn"t allowed, they will be fined, and we can also produce the cars which can"t make terrible noise.

The other pollution is rubbish pollution. If everyone makes so much rubbish, one day we may live in a world filled with rubbish. Some people throw the waste paper about. I suggest rubbish should be put into different kinds of dustbins or paper bags.

2. certain room should be reserved for green belts, green patches in the building of new residential districts and the reconstruction of urban areas.

Let us care for the environment.

1. Human beings are dependent on the Earth’s diversity of species. Wild species play a vital role in the maintenance of the planet’s ecological functions, yet every day on the planet 40-100 species become extinct.

2. Human life cannot exist in the absence of complicated interactions of millions of species in biological systems.

3. 50,000 plant an animal species disappear each year due to tropical deforestation, expanding agriculture and human settlement.

4. Human activities impact the environment, including clearing agriculture land; air, land and water pollution; urban and suburban development; and the introduction of invasion or non-native wildlife species. If land and wildlife are poorly managed, human being will risk fragmenting habitat.

5. We are living in the midst of a great chemical experiment, and some serious consequences are becoming apparent to scientist. More than two billion pounds of chemicals are spewed into the air each year. These chemicals are brewing a disastrous stew, resulting in an atmosphere crisis. The greatest consequences of the atmosphere crisis may be global warming and the ozone depletion. If human kind wants to survive well into the next millennium, we must stop this horrible destruction of our own environment.

6. The earth appears to be warming due to the greenhouse effect. Scientists estimate that the average temperature could climb about 2 degrees Celsius in 20 years. This change in the global climate would have disastrous results, including drought, coastal flooding and increased species extinction. And, scientists have discovered a hole in the ozone layer. The ozone layer is the only protection for life on Earth against deadly ultraviolet radiation from the Sun. Once the ozone layer is completely destroyed, all life on Earth will cease to exist, killed by the deadly radiation. The planet will become a barren rock devoid of all life.

7. It allows for an unbelievably large amount of downloads and uploads of information, music,videos and all sorts of other things, as it is the engine of the information superhighway of our Information Era, in witch we live.

There are so many people talking about how much their mother love them，whereas seldom people realize how much love their father give fact，father＇s love is as strong as mother＇s，but normally，fathers are not very good of expressing their er＇s love is deep and silent，that＇s why most people think their father love them you carefully go through your childhood memory，you will notice your father is always there when you need them，though they never said it out loud how much they love you，father＇s like a shelter when the storm coming，father＇s like a door when there is danger outside，father is someone no matter how you treat him，he will choose to bear all the pressure and let you please cheer for the love of father！

有那么多的人在谈论他们的母亲有多爱他们，而很少有人意识到他们的父亲有多爱他们。事实上，父亲的爱和母亲的爱一样强烈，但通常情况下，父亲并不善于表达自己的感情。父亲的爱是深沉而沉默的，这就是为什么大多数人认为父亲不那么爱他们。如果你仔细地翻阅童年的记忆，你会注意到你的父亲总是在你需要他们的时候出现，尽管他们从来没有大声说出他们有多么爱你，父亲就像暴风雨来临时的庇护所，父亲就像外面有危险时的门，父亲是一个无论你怎样对待他的人，他都会选择承受一切压力，让你自由。所以请为父亲的爱欢呼吧！

荀子云：“蓬生麻中，不扶自直。白沙在涅，与之俱黑。”可见，环境的选择乃是如此重要。中国自有“安土重迁”的风俗，封闭是中国人固有的陋习。即使如此，人还是得改变环境。

因为，即使土壤养分再丰富，它也长不出珍珠，要找珍珠，那就得去海里;即使一棵树再高大，它也结不出花生，要找花生，那就得从土里寻找。因此，我们要改变环境。能使人实现自己价值的环境需要自己去争取。战国时期，魏相公步痤向魏王举荐卫鞅，可公叔痤死后，卫鞅并未被重用。无奈之下，卫鞅只身入秦，得秦孝公重用。不久便大举实行变法，使秦国国力强盛，卫鞅也因此名闻诸侯。后来，秦始皇兼并诸侯，一统天下，与卫鞅功劳密不可分。卫鞅生于长于魏国，然而他离开魏，去寻找自己能一展鸿图的环境，何尝不是明智之举?孟母三迁之事大家耳熟能详。为了能让孟子有一个好的环境，孟母三易其地，可谓用心良苦。然而，这迁得值!否则，孟子还能成为名垂青史的思想家吗?思想的星空中还会有这颗巨星吗?环境塑造人生。一个适合自己发展的环境可谓至关重要。

然而，并非每个环境都是适合自己的，那么，我们就必须去改变它。像卫鞅、像孟母，实大是明智的举动。当今世界，色彩斑斓。心怀雄心壮志的年轻人，从家的束缚中挣脱出来，飞向四面八方，去寻找心中那份乐土。或许有很多人失败了，亦或很多人成功了。然而，无论成功与失败，都应值得我们肯定。因为他们努力去寻找适合自己的环境，去丰富自己的人生，去开拓自己的事业，那都是一种尝试。相信，只要坚持，总有一天，会找到令自己如愿以偿的环境。因为付出的代价总地得来回报。积极努力地去寻找自己的乐土吧，或许会有重山阻隔，密林遮挡，但过去时，前方便是一抹绚丽的彩虹。

A young apple tree begins to grow from a seed. When its roots reach into the soil, it gets water. The young tree uses light from the sun and makes its own food. For several years, the tree grows bigger.

Then, in spring, it grows sweet flowers. During the summer, apples begin to grow. They grow bigger and bigger. In autumn, they began to fall from the tree.

People like apples because they taste good. And they are good for health.

后来，到了春天，树长出了清香的花朵。夏天时，蘋果开始生长。它们长得越来越大。到了秋天，蘋果开始从树上落下来。

人们经常赞美母爱的无私。其实，父爱同样是伟大的。他们把爱深藏在内心，而不轻易显露。我的父亲就是这样的。有一次，我病了，妈妈又不在家，爸爸又当爸又当妈。他下班回家的第一件事就是给我做晚饭。他喂我吃饭的样子让我想起了善良温柔的妈妈。他的眼中充满着爱怜和期待。彼时彼刻，我真的感受到了父爱。

fathers love

mothers love wi peoples praises for its selfle e . in fact, fathers love is as great as that. they bury their love in the deep bottom of their hearts and will never show it. my father is of this kind. i remembered once i felt ill. mother wa t at home at that moment. father acted as a father and as a mother as well. when he came home from work, he would cook di er for me first. the way he fed me made me think of my kind and tender mother. his eyes were full of love and expectation. i did feel a fathers love at that time.

motherly love by its very nature is unconditional. mother loves the newborn infant because it is her child, not because the child has fulfilled any specific condition, or lived up to any specific expectation.unconditional love corresponds in one of the deepest longings, not only of the child, but of every human being; on the other hand, to be loved because of ones merit, because one deserves it, always leaves doubt: maybe i did not please the person whom i want to love me, maybe this or that--there is always a fear that love could disappear. furthermore, "deserved" love easily leaves a bitter feeling that one is not loved for oneself, that one is loved only because one pleases, that one is, in the last analysis, not loved at all but used. no wonder that we all cling to the longing for motherly love, as children and also as adults. the relationship to father is quite different. mother is the

home we come from, she is nature, soil, the ocean; father does not represent any such natural home. he has little connection with the child in the first years of his life, and his importance for the child in this early period cannot be compared with that of mother. but while father does not represent thenatural world, he represents the other pole of human existence; the world of thought, of man-made things, of law and order, of discipline, of travel and adventure. father is the one who teaches the child, who shows him the road into the world. fatherly love is conditional love. its principle is "1 love you because you fulfill my expectations, because you do your duty, because you are like me." in conditional fatherly love we find, as with unconditional motherly love, a negative and a positive aspect. the negative aspect is the very fact that fatherly love has to be deserved, that it can be lost if one does not do what is expected. the positive side is equally important. since his love is conditional, i can do something to acquire it, i can work for it; his love is not outside of my control as motherly love is.
