Water is very important to us. If you don’t have water for three days, you will die. We can use water for flowers, swimming, washing and many different things. We use it to cook, make electricity, and put out fires and so on. We use millions of liters of water every day.

Do you know how does the water come to your home? It travels through water pipes. Some are long and wide but some are short and narrow. Then the water travels through the water pipes to the reservoirs. Then it travels through the water pipes to the river and to the special factories that purify the water. When the water is purified, we can drink it. Please don’t leave garbage in the water on which we line, and keep the water clean.

篇3:思考人生意义的高一英语作文

全文共 2083 字

What’s the purpose of life ? What are we seeking for in our short lives ? For privilege,for money ,or just for enjoyment ? It’s the problem that everyone wants to explore. As a matter of fact , everybody needs a proper purpose in order to struggle against life . A clear purpose not only guides us but also gives us hope and energy . When unknown challenges stop our steps toward the dream, our purpose will help us overcome the difficulties . Because of purpose and our efforts , we become useful for the world . Those who travel in life without direction sometimes turn confused and even lose their confidence . Considering the benefits of living a life of purpose , we seem to should establish our purpose as soon as possible . But we need to be careful to choose the purpose that will be suitable enough for ourselves .In my opinion ,the purpose of life must include two necessary aspects——Work and Love . Work is the basic purpose of our life . As a youngster,you are supposed to try your best to find the job which you love from the bottom of your heart. Then you may dedicate yourself to it with all your enthusiasm. Charles Moyers explains these :“Make sure the thing you’re living for is worth dying for . ”

On the other hand , only work is not enough to lead a life of purpose .Loving our families and taking care of friends are also indispensable parts in our life. When people really love their families ,they will surely find the purpose of life.In other words , our emotions can be surely content when we stay with our families and friends. One’s life without love is like the sky without sunshine. Work and Love play the most important two roles in the purpose for which we seek throughout our life . But other aspects such as devotion and learning knowledge also have an deep influence on our life . These things affect our behaviour and values more or less ,even though most of us can’t realize it clearly . As the saying goes :“When we do good , we feel good , and we are good.” Set the correct purpose of your life now , And you will make a difference to your life.

Trees are very useful to people. They provide us with wood and other

products. They give us shade and they help to prevent drought and floods.

Unfortunately, in many parts of our country, people havent realized the

importance of trees. They cut them down at will. They are usually too lazy or

too careless to plant and look after new trees. As a result, the forests

continue to disappear.

Where there are no trees the rain falls on the surface, causing floods, and

carries away with the rich topsoil, in which crops grow so well. When all the

topsoil is gone, nothing remains but worthless deserted.

The big floods of 1998, in parts of China, have already taught us a good

lesson. So every one of us must love trees, protect forests, and keep on

planting trees each year.

Each year, people burn or cut down 143,000 square kilometers (55,000 square

miles) of the forest. People who burn or cut down trees do it for different

reasons: farmers cut down trees in order to get more fertilize lands to grow

rice or vegetables, and use the woods as fuel. Timber companies cut down trees

and turn them into furniture or paper productions. As to goal miners, they

remove the forests to find out whether there are goal underground.

However, many of us fail to realize that forests are the lungs of the

earth. When we cut down trees, we also push ourselves in to a dangerous

situation. That is the global warming. When you come to think about it, there

are only few ways to solve these negative effects: stop cutting down trees

blindly; try to find some clear energy that can replace oil and coal. But these

solutions can be impractical to some degreed.

Why trees can be so important to the whole nature? First of all, trees are

the habitat of many animals. When we cut down trees, we not only destroy

animals’ habitats but also ourselves. We just gradually destroy natural links.

The result is that many spices of animals and plants are dying out. Secondly,

cutting down trees cause global warming, to some degree. Naturalists compare

forest to human’s lungs. The forests absorb the carbon dioxide and other gas

that cause global warming, and then give off the oxygen that good for the human

beings and other living creatures. It’s refreshed the air as well as reduced the

noise. If the air quality is bad, people may die from cancers, or the new

diseases for which they have no immunity. Forests also play an important role in

the prevention of natural disasters. Warmer temperatures cause water to expand

and also create more water by melting polar ice caps. That’s to say, the nations

which near the ocean may have been flooded by the water. But the forests can

prevent water loss and soil erosion, and cool off the global temperatures. It’s

the key to keep the balance of the nature.

Sometimes people only care about money making; they don’t care about the

price we pay for the pollution. When the disaster is around the corner, we may

be afraid and frustrated. The earth, on which our economies have always been

based, is suddenly threatening our existence. All we hope that is this

overpopulated, over industrialized planet can carry on for a longer time. And

maybe, it’s time for us to realize that we should protect the earth, stop

cutting down trees blindly and madly.

相传,元宵起源于春秋时期的楚昭王。某个正月十五日,楚昭王经过长江,见江面有漂浮物,为一种外白内红的甜美食物。楚昭王请教孔子,孔子说“此浮萍果也,得之主复兴之兆”。从此,元宵节吃元宵便成了一种历史。

还有一种说法,元宵原来叫汤圆,到了汉武帝时,宫中有个宫女叫元宵,做汤圆十分拿手,从此以后,世人就以这个宫女的名字来命名。

关于元宵节吃元宵的最早记载见于宋代。当时称元宵为“浮圆子”、“圆子”、“乳糖元子”和“糖元”。从《平园续稿》、《岁时广记》、《大明一统赋》等史料的记载看,元宵作为欢度元宵节的应时食品是从宋朝开始的。因元宵节必食“圆子”,所以人们使用元宵命名之。

元宵是一种中国人依照习俗在农历正月十五元宵节和春节烹制食用的食品。曾有多种名称,如面茧、粉果、元宝、汤饼、圆不落角等,明永乐年间正式定名为元宵。

吃元宵的习俗源于何时何地,民间说法不一。

元宵的做法,是以馅为基础。大致过程是先是拌馅料,和匀后摊成大圆薄片,晾凉后再切成比乒乓球小的立方块。然后把馅块放入像大筛子似的机器里,倒上江米粉,“筛”起来了。随着馅料在互相撞击中变成球状,江米也沾到馅料表面形成了元宵。

元宵是用糯米粉做成的圆形食品,从种类上分,可分实心和带馅的两种。带馅的又有甜、咸之分。甜馅一般有猪油豆沙、白糖芝麻、桂花什锦、枣泥、果仁、麻蓉、杏仁、白果、山楂等;咸馅一般有鲜肉丁、火腿丁、虾米等。用芥、葱、蒜、韭、姜组成的菜馅元宵,称“五味元宵”,意寓勤劳、长久、向上。
