He always rose early to enjoy at least two hours of solitude in the house

and garden before the rest of the family came down In winter he spent most of

the time reading and writing. In sum mer he liked to get out of doors to work in

the kitchen garden or to take the dog for a walk in the neighbouring woods and

fields Whatever the weather, there was plenty to occupy him.

Although he was a creature of habit, there seemed to be an infinite variety

in his pursuits. He wrote book reviews regularly for two of the national

weeklies. He worked conscientiously his special subject, Indian History, and was

thus one of the world authorities on it;

he collected modern abstract paintings and so had a circle of friends

amongst artists and sculptors; there was hardly anything he did not know about

traditional jazz and he often entertained both British and America n jazz

musicians He was a superb cook and knew a lot about French and German food.

His family adored him and in a sense he was spoiled by them. At first

glance you would have taken him for a retired army officer-his bearing was

erect, his hair was cut short, he was fussy about his clothes, which were always

neat, clean and conventional. He liked to keep fit, and this was reflected in

his clear, steady blue eyes and healthy suntanned complexion. He hardly ever

watched TV, but enjoyed a good film and an occasional evening at the

theatre.

The generation gap refers to the difference in attitude toward thing or the

lack of understanding between young people and older folks.

In families as well as in society, the young and the older may not agree

with each other on this and that from time to time. Young people would llke to

make as much money as they could and spend as much money as they could earn

while older folks are easily satisfied with what they earn and save as much as

possible. Young people llke the exciting and deafening pop music while older

folks prefer melodious folk-songs or classic music. A boy and a glrl today may

fall in love with each other as quick as lightning, while their parents or grand

parents might trudge over a long distance before they kissed each other and

became lovers when they were young.

However, we should not be amazed at the generation gap,for it is quite

natural in the development of society. The world is a changing world, in which

everything keeps changing, generations of human beings included. And changes

lead to progress.

In my family, there are only three people, my parents and I. because of my

parents’ work, they could only have one child at that time, so I don’t have any

siblings. I felt so lonely when my parents went out for their work. Now the

government changed their policy, people can have the second child. But some

people refuse because they think they can’t afford it. Despite the expense,

there are many advantages to have the second child. For one thing, the only

child can have someone company, so they won’t feel lonely on the process of

growing up. For another thing, two kids will help each other, they can share

things together. Learning to share things is a very important lesson for

children. In Chinese tradition, more kids, more better, but I think two are

perfect for the family.

7:30a.m. to 9:00a.m. every morning and lunch at noon. He also has dinner about

6:30p.m. to 7:30p.m in the evening. What he eats is healthy food, such as, meat,

Almost everyone knows that water covers three-fourths of the earths

surface. Most of it， however， is in the oceans and is too salty to drink. Also，

some of it is frozen and cannot be used. In fact， less than one percent is left

for the use of people， animals and plant life. All through history men have

tried to build their homes near the sources of fresh water. Now fresh water is

becoming scarce， but more and more is needed because of the increasing number of

people in the world. Some industries also use large amounts of fresh water in

the production of things such as steel， petroleum， paper and rubber and so on.

Scientists estimate that the need for fresh water will have doubled by the year

2003. If they are correct， we must find new ways of saving it or producing it.

Some nations have worked on the problem and are already sharing their

information with others. They are trying to keep their rivers from becoming

polluted. Deep wells are also being dug， and rain water is being collected in

huge artificial lakes. In one way or another， they hope to provide enough water

to satisfy the needs of their people.

People around the world may feel that the climate has been getting steadily

warmer and warmer in recent years. Places which used to be abundant in snowfall

have frequently experienced snowfree(无雪的) winters. Drought lasts longer in some

dry areas. People find that without air conditioners they could hardly work or

fall asleep on hotter summer days.

The side effects of global warming are alarminS. A warmer global climate

melts the ice caps, raising sea levels. What is more, it disturbs weather

patterns, causing droughts, severe storms, hurricanes (飓风). People suffer a lot

from disasters relevant to global warming.

To stop global warming we should make immediate and continual efforts. We

hope the situation will soon change. Global warming catches and holds our

concern, for it affects us and will affect our later generations. We cannot wait

any longer. Do it. Do it right. Do it right now.

The Dragon Boat Festival is a lunar holiday, occurring on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month holiday, occurring on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month

The Chinese Dragon Boat Festival is a significant holiday celebrated in China, and the one with the longest history .

The Dragon Boat Festival is celebrated by boat races in the shape of dragons.

Competing teams row their boats forward to a drumbeat racing to reach the finish end first.

The boat races during the Dragon Boat Festival are traditional customs to attempts to rescue the patriotic poet Chu Yuan.

只要相信，每个人都是自己的上帝。——题记

听过这样一个故事么？有一群人，他们都曾设想过自己的未来，他们都曾设想过自己将来要成为怎样的人，要过怎样的生活，而到了后来的后来，他们却因为各种各样的原因离自己曾设想的一切越来越远，也许挣扎过，却还是渐渐冷漠了以前设想的一切一切。终于时光把以前炽热的愿望单纯的想法埋葬。他们都变得世俗变得平庸，就这样继续着他们的生命。觉得这个故事很耳熟吗？

或许，这样的故事就重复发生在你的周围。生活就像一个大的迷宫，太多人在这里迷失了自己原来的方向，太多人在这里不知所措。以至于有的时候，我也害怕我会在这里迷路，像故事里的那些人一样，丢失了自己的方向。记得有一次，我一直最崇拜的哥哥突然对我说：“妹妹，我现在感觉好迷茫。我不够优秀，我坚持不了做好一件事情，可我就要毕业了，我没有时间重头再来了，我要去承担起一些责任了，我要为自己的生活努力了，我明白我应该努力，但我不知道怎么去努力，我不知道该怎么去做了，真的感觉很糟。”那是哥哥第一次对我说这样的话，我很想安慰他，可一时之间我竟然不知道怎么说，我也会有这样的感受，心情一下子沉重了起来。而沉默了一会儿，终于开口对哥哥说：“哥，没什么好怕的，你是我的哥哥，我相信你是最好的，只要你相信自己，坚持下去，一切都会好的。” 有些时候事情的答案就是这么简单。

每个人都有迷茫的时候，我突然间懂得，这并没有什么，它是成长的一种必然。只要我们能够坚持自己最初的方向，一切就都一定会好起来。骑白马的不一定的是王子，还可能是唐僧，什么事都充满可能性，我们不能因为一时的境遇而放弃。看现在有很多人在网络上感叹“理想太丰满，现实太骨感”之类的话，的确，现实是很无奈，但如果这么容易就实现自己的理想，那就失去了它本来的意义。因为很多人只会抱怨，不会坚持，不够努力，被金钱名利迷惑所以才丢失了自己的方向，这怨不得生活。所以呢，人生中最好的投资是自己。每个人都有不同，我们没必要去嫉妒别人的成功，没必要因为现在自己的平凡普通自卑，每个人都是最特别的存在，只要能坚守自己最初的方向，去努力，即使成为不了别人眼中最优秀的，也可以做最好的自己。至于时间流逝是把杀猪刀还是座美容院也都只取决于自己。坚持你的方向，生活总是会阳光灿烂的。

With the spread of the consciousness of environmental protection, the word

“low-carbon” has been very popular in life. We can find it in many aspects, such

as low-carbon products, low-carbon consumption, and low-carbon travel and so on.

Generally speaking, more and more people are advocating “low-carbon”

lifestyle.

As implied in the name, “low-carbon” lifestyle is a kind of new pattern of

lifestyle which aims to lowering the carbon dioxide emission in living as much

as possible. For example, some office workers are not proud of driving private

cars from work to home any more but pride themselves on riding or taking public

transportation. In addition, they advocate recycling water and saving energy as

much as they can.

As college students, we also make some contribution in our daily life to

reduce the emission of the carbon dioxide. For example, switch off the light

when leaving and save water. In addition, we should use our knowledge and action

to arouse others’ concern about the importance of lowering emission of carbon

dioxide and lead them to lead a “low-carbon” life.
