高二英语演讲材料(通用20篇)

As the development of our society, computer has become an necessity of

general families. We students also have more chances to play it or use it in our

study.However, everything has two sides. Many students are addicted to computer

games and spend all their time in playing. Some of them even fail in their

study.Therefore, some people argue that playing computer games in harmful to

students and it should be prohibited strictly. From my point of view, spend some

time in computer games will not do harm to us. Firstly, it won’t cost us much

time, so our study and rest will not be influenced. Secondly, all work and no

play make Jack a dull boy. Although we are busy in our study, it doesn’t mean

that we can’t play at all. Some games may be good to us to some extent. I think

the one thing we should concern is that we should control ourselves properly.

That is to say we can’t play games all the day. We must keep in mind that games

are just for pastime and our priority is study.

Good morning !

Welcome to Hangzhou. I am Li Yue, president of the Student Union in my

school. Id like to briefly introduce the Hangzhou Public Bicycle Service to

you. Our city insists to protect the environment, so we began to use the Public

Bicycle Service to reduce the traffic stress in 2008. There were 65 thousand

bicycles for people to use in daily life. In general, more than 8 million people

have to use them every year.

Some people think they are very useful and believe they will make our

society more beautiful. Others think they are not convenient enough. As far as I

Raising the worlds largest kindness, than their parents. Is worth we use to cherish life, with a sincere heart to appreciate, with practical action to gratitude.

"The sheep have knelt milk, crow has righteousness". And people also should have the thought of filial, dont wait until the desire filial and affection, eventually left the life of a big allready tried, want to dont regret in the future, from now will be grateful parents from around things, return for parents. Returns are also not necessarily material rewards, is more of a spiritual and emotional. Even overseas, study abroad, we point to with a grateful heart. As the century old ba jin said: "I am spinning silkworm mulberry leaves to eat." Silkworm paid, also obtained, get the praise and admiration of people.

Parents are the first teachers for our lives, from the moment a child is born, his life was poured parents endless love and blessing. Perhaps, parents cant give us the luxury of life, however, they gave the irreplaceable - life in a persons life

Parents for their children to hold up a piece of the sky of love, when you get hurt, cry, sad, sad, you can always come back here, enjoy the love of parents. Thanksgiving parents, even a small thing, can let them feel gratified. I remember CCTV has broadcast a public service ads: a little boy, struggling with a basin of water, naive said to his mother: "mom, wash feet!" Is such an AD today, still hit, its relieving feelings and moving heart, dont know how many people infected with. Many people whose tears, not to a lovely boy, also for that one to the deep love, and from the heart of gratitude to the mother.

The classmates, let us learn to be grateful parents! With a grateful heart to treat their parents, with a sincere heart to communicate with their parents, dont take it for granted that their parents do anything for us, they brought us to this beautiful world, is great enough, and will we raise, thanked, silently pay for us, we dont blindly to demand their pay, institute of Thanksgiving, with a grateful heart, grateful parents!

世上最大的恩情，莫过于父母的养育之恩。值得我们用生命去珍爱，用至诚的心去感激，用切实行动去报恩。

“羊有跪乳之情，鸦有反哺之义”。而人也应有尽孝之念，莫等到欲尽孝而亲不在，终留下人生的一大遗撼，要想将来不后悔莫及，从现在就要从身边的小事去感恩父母，回报父母。回报也不一定非的是物质上的回报，更多的是精神上的、情感上的。就算是远渡重洋、留学海外，我们时刻要怀揣着一颗感恩的心。正如世纪老人巴金所说：“我是春蚕吃的桑叶就要吐丝。”春蚕付出了，也获得了，得到的却是人们的赞美与钦佩。

父母是我们人生的第一任老师，从一个孩子呱呱坠地的那一刻起，他的生命就倾注了父母无尽的爱与祝福。或许，父母不能给我们奢华的生活，但是，他们给予了一个人一生中不可替代的——生命

父母为子女撑起了一片爱的天空，当你受伤时，哭泣时，忧郁时，难过时，你可以随时回到这里，享受父母的爱。感恩父母，哪怕是一件微不足道的事，都能让他们感到欣慰。我记得央视曾播过的一个公益广告：一个小男孩，吃力的端着一盆水，天真的对妈妈说： “妈妈，洗脚!”就是这样的一部广告时至今日，仍在热播，它的感情动人心腑，不知感染了多少人。很多人为其流泪，不止为了可爱的男孩，也为了那一份至深的爱，和发自内心对母亲的感恩。

同学们，让我们学会感恩父母吧!用一颗感恩的心去对待父母，用一颗真诚的心去与父母交流，不要再认为父母是理所当然帮我们做任何事情的，他们把我们带到这美丽的世界，已经是足够的伟大，且将我们养育成人，不求回报，默默的为我们付出，我们就别再一味地索求他们的付出，学会感恩，怀着一颗感恩的心，去感恩父母吧!

In school,we have summer vacation.In summer,the weather is so hot that our

brain needs a rest after a period of hard work.Thus it is for health reasons

that we have our summer vacation.

There are many kinds of sports,which are good for health in summer,such as

swimming,tennis and baseball.But care should be taken not to practice such

sports all day long,which would be very bad for our health.

Another point we have to consider is that our time should not be spent

entirely in playing.We attend school in order to get some knowledge,which will

be useful in our life

I have a big family, there are seven people in my family, my mon, dad, two grandpas, two grandmas and me. My dad is soldier, he works in police station. My mom works in the bank, she is an accountant. They both are very busy in working, I can only play with them in the weekend. My grandpas and grandmas dont work for company, but they are volunteers and often take me to do the voluntary labor.

I am in Grade three in Yuanling elementary school, my mom always tells me I am a good girl and should study hard and get along well with all my classmates.

In the weekend or holiday, my family often go out for travelling or other things, I feel very happy with all the members and love them very much.

students in this 9.6 million square kilometers of land, which his uncle did not know the name! his name is called - lei feng.

uncle lei feng him helping others, has no profits.on one occasion, due to a stomach ache from lei feng to the ministry of health mission even opened the medicine to come back, see benxi road primary school building under construction, it helped push the car shipped from a brick, a series done for several hours. this is lei feng.

when they replace their vehicles in a business trip, feng found a middle-aged woman carrying a child’s train ticket, and lost money, he used his allowance to the sister-in-law bought a train ticket from jilin go. it is therefore a stay chuan phrase: "lei feng travel thousands of miles one good one to do the train." this is lei feng.

he "stole" a comrade-in-arms of their loved ones for money for the disaster area to send the people on all deposits over the past few years. some say he is a "fool," said feng him happy revolution "fool." this is lei feng.

lei feng selfless, willing to sacrifice things really are too much.

today, the lei feng spirit of the people in the probation, in between there are a lot of our revolution, "fool." lei feng has left us more than 40 years, but his spirit is with the times, shine forever.

traffic police, they stand in the street on day and night, to withstand the test of wind and rain, frost withstand the torture, whether it is a cold winter or hot summer, they always standing there; regardless of family and friends are still ordinary people, they always impartial and incorruptible, impartial treatment. they pay for this cause too much too much, sacrifice too much, no matter how difficult the road, they decided to do so. traffic police are not our great-human transmission is lei feng?

teacher, they work day and night, i do not know the number of correct operation, i do not know how many little rest at night. in their teachings, we know how to make an aspiring person, a noble person, a moral person, a person the benefit of the people; in their care under the guidance, i do not know how many people have embarked on a the success of the road. they love their work, paid in full, return was always someone else’s happiness. them as a candle, burning himself, and lit up the others, and our hard won ding lei feng-human transmission is not it?

people’s liberation army soldiers, who guarded the great rivers and mountains of the motherland, the republic of the great walllife. vanguard is the pacesetter; floods, are the vanguards; sacrificed their lives to save, or pacesetter ... ... a few days and nights never sleep, they have no complaints; together with their families far more than they have no complaints; selfless for the people, dedication to the motherland they have no complaints about ... ... they really do the "first and worry about all over the world, after everyone else to enjoy." these are not the people’s liberation army soldier lei feng is the successor?

project hope’s first contributions to people, are tianjin tanggu district experimental primary school students, january 1, ×× he told the china youth development foundation contributed 27 yuan relief-of-school children. shandong province, the western suburbs of the third school (2) students wei, tsung-wei new concern for the care for have never stopped. carried out my classes, "a gang of one" campaign, after a period of time, was to help students score significantly improve with the truth ... ... everyone loved, struck up a touching song; those helping others who do not like mine feng uncle as "silly" the sweet吗? lei feng is it not our human?

lei feng has become a perfect purification of the soul of a model of personality.

it is precisely because it was the traffic police, teachers, the people’s liberation army soldiers and young people of these people, our community will be stability and prosperity, national unity and brotherhood is more toward the pace of civilization forward is more sound, and our country also it is more powerful, the future also be more full of hope and vitality.

regardless of whether the traffic police, teachers, or the people’s liberation army soldiers, or young people, they have the lei feng such a "no benefit has been dedicated to carlo," the great spirit, this illustrates that lei feng is not unattainable, china education net documents the total channel everyone can learn from lei feng, everyone can become the lei feng lei feng spirit is ever-present: "comrade treatment, such as spring-like warmth; treat job, such as hot as the summer; treat individuals marxism, like autumn leaves as sweep; treat the enemy as ruthless as the severe winter. "lei feng spirit is everywhere, and lei feng spirit has been demonstrated here, where lei feng spirit shining brightly.

human lives are the most valuable, but why people alive? where the meaning of life? lei feng in their own actions on the world to do our best answer. students, please permit me to lei feng’s speech this sentence as the concluding words right:

human life is limited, but human services are unlimited, limited to my life, into serving the people go unlimited! students, let us, in the ordinary life, do a double extraordinary things!

近来，越来越多的高校已经意识到了创建绿色校园的重要意义，它已成为一个遍及全国的新趋势。

Recently, more and more colleges and universities have realized the significance of creating a green campus, it has become a new trend of the spread.

那么，是什么意思时，我们指的绿色校园?一方面，对环境的保护是必要的，不可否认，这是这一概念的前提。另一方面，它是远远不够的，以满足绿色校园的总体目标简单地保持绿色的环境。相反，它也需要所有的工作人员和我们共同的努力，学生的积极的文化氛围建设。

So, what does it mean when we refer to the green, the campus? On the one hand, the protection of the environment is necessary, it can not be denied, this is the premise of this concept. On the other hand, it is far from enough, in order to meet the overall goals of green campus simply keep the green environment. On the contrary, it also requires all staff and our common efforts, the students active cultural atmosphere construction.

因此，为了创造绿色校园，第一，它是必要的，每个人都认为我们自己主办的校园，并认识到绿色的启示给我们带来了房子。更重要的是，需要采取行动以实现目标。最后但并非最不重要的，我们可以传播的精神，更广阔的领域，呼吁更多的人加入这个项目的前景。

Therefore, in order to create a green campus, the first, it is necessary, everyone thinks of themselves as the host of our campus, and to realize the green enlightenment brought the house for us. More importantly, the need to take action to achieve the target. Last but not least, we can spread the spirit, a wider area, call for more people to join the projects prospects.

I can always hear the news of education innovation after I go to school,

and many teachers are talking about the importance of extra-curricular activity,

which is believed to bring more creativity and vitality to the class. Actually,

the traditional class pays much attention to the knowledge from the books all

the time, which is easy to let students feel bored. As a result, every student

is so excited about the PE class, because they can enjoy freedom and play for

fun. Extra-curricular activity provides students a different way to broaden

their vision and inspire their creativity. Students feel relaxed and can think

in the active way. Many great people got their idea from the nature, so if the

teachers want to improve students interest, the good learning environment

should not be limited in the classroom.

Recently, a picture caught many people’s attention, in the picture, a handsome boy was studying in the library silently, people could only see his half face. Girls are crazy about him, because he was so handsome, wearing the white shirt makes him a gentleman, what’s more, his silent sitting there looks like beautiful scenery. The boy’s picture soon becomes the hot topic, people search his information and more and more his things were dig out. The boy got the first place in his province when he took part in the college entrance exam, he also could play cello very well. As he is so excellent, people admire him so much and want to cultivate their kids as excellent as him. We could see that beautiful outlook will help you catch people’s attention, but only your talented skill makes you outstanding.

最近，一张图片吸引了很多人的注意，在图片中，一位英俊的男孩在图书馆里安静地学习，人们只能看到他的半张脸。女孩们为他痴迷，因为他长得很好看，他穿着白衬衫，很绅士，而且，他安静的坐在那里，看起像一道美丽的风景。男孩的图片很快就成为了热门话题，人们搜索他的信息，有关男孩越来越多的东西被挖出来。男孩在他所在的省参加高考，取得了第一名的成绩，他还能拉大提琴，还拉得很好。由于他是如此的优秀，人们很敬佩他，想要把孩子培养得像他那样优秀。我们看到美丽的外表能让你吸引人们的注意，但是只有你的才华才能让你突出。

Everyone knows that eyes are one of the most important parts of our body.Having good eyesight means we can not only see things clearly,but also enjoy some beautiful scenes.there is also a saying going that eyes are the window of our mind.But how can we protect our eyes?

Here are some tips for you .Firstly, it is a good habits not to read your books or newspapers for a long time because our eyes need rest,too.Secondly,dont read books in a strong or poor light,otherwise,the light would harm our eyes.At last,remember to keep on doing eye-exercises and watch more green grass and other plants.

每个人都知道眼睛是我们身体最重要的部分之一。拥有良好的视力意味着我们不仅能看到事物的本质,也能欣赏到一些美丽的风景。还有一个说,眼睛是心灵的窗口。但是我们如何保护我们的眼睛呢?

这里有一些建议给你。首先,不长时间看书或者看报纸这是一个好习惯,因为我们的眼睛需要休息。其次,不在光线强或光线差下看书,否则,光会伤害我们的眼睛。最后,记得要坚持做眼保健操,看更多的绿草和其他植物。

As a Senior Three student, time seems much limited. As a result, more and

more students try to study from early morning till late afternoon, even during

the ten-minute break. In my opinion, to take a ten-minute break between classes

is definitely necessary. Otherwise we will feel tired both physically and

mentally. During the ten-minute break, we do something to get rid of tiredness.

What we need is to have a real rest, instead of getting more tired. So doing

nothing tiring in that period is really good for us. My ten-minute break is

always pleasing. Sometimes I do some simple exercises. Sometimes I have a free

chat with my classmates or just take a walk outside. When the next class begins,

I feel fresh again.

After reading this book I think it is necessary to share the old legend to everybody .

There is a legend about a bird which sings just once in its life, more sweetly than any other creature on the face of the earth. From the moment it lea一ves the nest it searches for a thorn tree, and does not rest until it has found one. Then, singing among the sa一vage branches, it impales itself upon the longest, sharpest spine. And, dying, it rises above its own agony to out- carol the lark and the nightingale. One superlative song, existence the price. But the whole world stills to listen, and God in His hea一ven smiles. For the best is only bought at the cost of great pain …

Meggie Cleary is just like the bird,and Ralph is her superlative song.

I read the book then watched the movie, both of them ga一ve me great shock, I really admire Meggie,she had the courage to use her whole life to love Ralph, never ga一ve up. She believed that she would love Ralph only in her life. But I don’t like Meggie’s attitude to love, Ralph is a Father, and he mustn’t love Meggie, they really loved each other, but they are not destined to be together. So in my opinion I think Meggie should give in, she shouldn’t fight with God, Ralph had told her he would serve God forever, so Meggie wouldn’t win. Maybe giving up is a good choice. Their love is painful.

Tell the turth I don’t like Meggie neither Ralph, Ralph could not give Meggie happniess while Meggie couldn’t support Ralph to concentrate on his work. So they would not ha一ve happy life, they only made each other feel sad .

Frank is my fa一vorite role. he was short but strong ,and he was one of the main labor in his family. He didn’t want to be a shepherd, but the family needed him , and he must feed he the sheep so that everybody in his family can live better. Once he escaped from home , but it wassn’t long before his father found him and take him home. I feel so sorry that he had a miserable fate. He longed for freedom but most of his life didn’t belong to himself, it’s really a pity .

Frank was different to every man in their home, he loved his mother deeply, and he always helped his mother do the housework. he dreamed to be an outstanding boxer. Frank was considerable, and he always try his best to make Meggie feel happy. As Meggie’s oldest brother, he could be worried about Meggie’s fa一vorite doll, and he even tried to fixed the doll which was distroyed by Meggie’s other brothers. Frank and Meggie would always tell each other what they thought in their deep heart , and they are close friends.

I was so sad when I learned that Frank killed a man and he was sent to the prision. It is really a big shock to Meggie, for Frank was the only one who can listen to Meggie’s secrets. She thought she lost Frank forever. I cannot imagine how painful for Frank to spend dozens years in the prision. He once had good dream about his life, but he had to waste most of his life in prision. In my opinion it was Frank’s father that distoryed his life. His father didn’ t give him freedom, and Frank can’t had strong resistance spirits, and because he didn’t control himself and broke the law.The energitic Frank will never come to us, and he became a man who didn’t wanna talk. He began to be afraid of the world…it is really a pity.

As for Meggie, I think she was a good girl. She was beautiful and smart, but she it was wrong for her to love Ralph. Meggie was an excellent girl, she was able to find an outstanding boy to love her, but she put all her love on Ralph even she married Luke. She married Luke just because Luke looked like Ralph. Meggie wanna be a thorn bird, but I think it was too cruel to her. She was so kind that she shouldn’t stand that king of pain, and I think she was born to ha一ve a happy life. I pity for her.

Both the story of thorn birds and the legend are painful and beautiful, but not every one can be the thorn birds, because it is not our porpose to ha一ve a painful life. We are born to be happy. Olny happiness is the ture meaning of life while the story was written for us to enrich our life. It is a wonderful story.

My parents watched a lot of news and they always worry about my safety. I

tell them that there is no need to worry, because the news report about other

peoples story having nothing to do with me. But one thing changed my opinion.

One day, when I walked home after school, a young man who dressed so well got

close to me, then he told me that he needed help. He said he lost his wallet and

needed someone to give him 2 yuan to take the bus. I felt so sorry for him. I

should help him and the money he needed was little for me, so I gave the money

to him without hesitation. At night, I watched TV with my parents, the news

showed the new trick for the cheaters and it was the same situation with what I

experienced today. I realized I must take care.

The Dangers of the Fake Product

“Shan Zhai” is the new words to express fake products, people use it to express the highly imitated products, some manufacturers produce the Shan Zhai products to make great profit, but it is so unfair to the customers, they pay so much money in the purpose of buying the genius stuff instead of the fake products. Fake products not only cheats people’s money, but also brings people dangers. Such as the medicine, if people buy the fake one, once they eat it, they will feel uncomfortable and get the illness, the most terrible situation is that they will kill themselves. Fake product is so harmful, though the government has taken some action to ban it, still people sold it, it is the temptation of profit that makes people sold it. What if their relatives have bought the products, so in order to keep people healthy, fake products should be banned.

“山寨”是用来表达伪劣产品的新代言词，人们使用它来表达高仿产品，一些生产商生产山寨产品以此来获取巨大的利润，但是这对于顾客来讲是不公平的，他们花费了这么多的钱，只为了买到真的产品而不是假的产品。伪劣产品不仅欺骗了人们的钱，而且给人们带来了危害。比如药，如果人们买到伪劣的，一旦服用，就会感到不舒服，生病，最严重的情形就是因此失去生命。伪劣产品是如此的有害，虽然政府已经采取了一些措施来禁止售卖，但是仍然有人兜售，他们是抵挡不住金钱的诱惑。如果他们的亲戚买了这些产品，会怎样呢，因此为了人们的健康，不要再卖伪劣产品了。

Before we go to school, we get our parents to supervise us all the time, so

we live in a very safe environment. While when we go to school, parents cant

keep their eyes on us all the time, they are so worried about us, so they begin

to tell us how to keep ourselves safe. The most important thing is that dont

talk to strangers, as a teenager, we havent had the ability to judge who is the

good guy and who is the bad guy, so it is better not to talk to the strangers.

The bad guys will like to talk to the teenagers, they want to do something to

pay the teenagers attention, thus they can induce the children to go with them

and do the bad thing. In order to protect teenagers security, teenagers are

taught to keep distant from the stranger.

showing respect to parents is one of the chinese traditional moral

values.as most of the students today are “the only child” in their family, they

often regard themselves as the“centre”of the family, without caring much about

their parents. our school started a programme when the new year came.it is

“respecting parents programme”. ten“do"s”have been worked out for the students

to follow clearly and easily, including:

“remember your parents" birthdays and express your best wishes to them;

say”hello“to your parents when you see them returning home; and tell your

parents where you go when you leave home.” the programme has been successful,

and has won praises from parents and other sides of the society. people say this

is what we should have done earlier!

the family had just moved to rhode island, and the young woman was feeling a little melancholy on that sunday in may. after all, it was mothers day -- and 800 miles separated her from her parents in ohio.

一家人刚移居罗德岛。5月的那个星期天， 年轻女人感到有点儿忧伤。毕竟， 这一天是母亲节─而她却与俄亥俄州的父母亲遥距800英里。

she had called her mother that morning to wish her a happy mothers day, and her mother had mentioned how colorful the yard was now that spring had arrived. as they talked, the younger woman could almost smell the tantalizing aroma of purple lilacs hanging on the big bush outside her parentsback door.

她那天早上给母亲打去电话， 祝母亲节日愉快。随后， 她的母亲向她提起， 因为春天已经来临， 所以院子里的色彩是多么绚丽。在她们通话的当儿， 年轻女人几乎可以闻到悬垂在父母亲后门外大灌木丛上的紫丁香醉人的芬芳。

later, when she mentioned to her husband how she missed those lilacs, he popped up from his chair. i know where we can find you all you want, he said. get the kids and cmon.

so off they went, driving the country roads of northern rhode island on the kind of day only mid-may can produce：sparkling sunshine, unclouded azure skies and vibrant newness of the green growing all around. they went past small villages and burgeoning housing developments, past abandoned apple orchards, back to where trees and brush have devoured old homesteads.

后来， 她向丈夫说起她是如何怀念那些紫丁香时， 他突然从椅子上跃起。我知道在哪儿能找到你想要的东西， 他说， 带上孩子， 走吧。

于是， 他们就出发了， 驱车行驶在罗德岛北部的乡村小路上， 那种天气只有5月中旬才会有：闪亮的阳光、蔚蓝色的晴空以及生机勃勃、随处可见的绿意。他们穿过一座座小村庄和一座座拔地而起的房屋， 穿过废弃的苹果园， 来到了树林和嗄敬匝谟车睦吓

where they stopped, dense thickets of cedars and ju nipers and birch crowded the roadway on both sides. there wasnt a lilac bush in sight.

come with me , the man said. over that hill is an old cellar hole, from somebodys farm of years ago, and there are lilacs all round it. the man who owns this land said i could poke around here anytime. im sure he wont mind if we pick a few lilacs.

他们停下车。车道两边长满了茂盛的雪松、杜松和白桦树。眼前没有一棵紫丁香。

随我来， 那个男人说， 翻过那座小山， 有个老地窖， 几年前是一个人的农场， 四周长满了紫丁香。这块地的主人说我可以随时到这儿来闲逛。我相信， 要是我们采几束紫丁香， 他不会介意。

before they got halfway up the hill, the fragrance of the lilacs drifted down to them, and the kids started running. soon, the mother began running, too, until she reached the top. there, far from view of passing motorists and hidden from encroaching civilization, were the towering lilacs bushes, so laden with the huge, cone-shaped flower clusters that they almost bent double. with a smile, the young woman rushed up to the nearest bush and buried her face in the flowers, drinking in the fragrance and the memories it recalled.

还没等他们到达半山腰， 紫丁香的芬芳已经向他们飘了过来。于是， 孩子们开始奔跑。不久， 那位母亲也开始跑起来， 直至到达山顶。

那里， 远离了过往司机的视野， 避开了纷扰的文明世界， 高耸的丁香花丛开满了硕大的圆锥形的串串花束， 几乎把花茎压成了两折。那个年轻女人微笑着冲到最近的一处花丛， 把脸埋在鲜花中， 啜饮着芳香， 陶醉在重新唤起的记忆中。

while the man examined the cellar hole and tried to explain to the children what the house must have looked like, the woman drifted among the lilacs. carefully, she chose a sprig here, another one there, and clipped them with her husbands pocket knife. she was in no hurry, relishing each blossom as a rare and delicate treasure. finally, though, they returned to their car for the trip home. while the kids chattered and the man drove, the woman sat smiling, surrounded by her flowers, a faraway look in her eyes.

在那个男人察看地窖试图向孩子们解释这座房子必定是什么样子的当儿， 那个女人不由自主地走进了紫丁香花丛。她小心翼翼地从这儿摘一枝， 那儿挑一束， 然后用丈夫的袖珍小刀将它们剪下来。她不慌不忙， 像欣赏稀有珍宝似地欣赏着每一朵花。

然而， 他们终于还是返回了汽车， 走上了回家的路。孩子们叽叽喳喳说个不停， 那个男人驾着车， 那个女人坐在那儿面带微笑， 她周围放满了鲜花， 眼睛里充满着向往。

when they were within three miles of home, she suddenly shouted to her husband, stop the car. stop right here! the man slammed on the brakes. before he could ask her why she wanted to stop, the woman was out of the car and hurrying up a nearby grassy slope with the lilacs still in her arms. at the top of the hill was a nursing home and, because it was such a beautiful spring day, the patients were outdoors strolling with relatives or sitting on the porch.

当他们离家不足3英里时， 她突然向丈夫大声喊道：停车， 就在这里停车!

那个男人嘎地刹住车。还没等他问为什么， 女人就已经下了车， 匆匆走向附近的草坡， 怀里仍抱着紫丁香。山顶上是一家疗养院， 因为这是一个美丽的春日， 所以病人正在室外和亲友溜达或坐在门廊上。

the young woman went to the end of the porch, where an elderly patient was sitting in her wheelchair, alone, head bowed, her back to most of the others. across the porch railing went the flowers, in to the lap of the old woman. she lifted her head, and smiled. for a few moments, the two women chatted, both aglow with happiness, and then the young woman turned and ran back to her family. as the car pulled away, the woman in the wheelchair waved, and clutched the lilacs.

那个年轻女人走到门廊的尽头， 只见那里有一个上了年纪的病人正坐在轮椅里， 独自一人， 低着头， 背对着其他人。年轻女人越过门廊栏杆， 将鲜花放在了老太太的膝间。老太太抬起头， 露出了笑脸。两个女人聊了一会儿， 都兴高采烈。随后， 那个年轻女人转身跑回到家人的身边。当汽车开动时， 坐在轮椅里的那个女人挥动着手， 手里紧紧地握着那束紫丁香花。

mom, the kids asked, who was that?why did you give her our flowers?is she somebodys mother?the mother said she didnt know the old woman. but it was mothers day, and she seemed so alone, and who wouldnt be cheered by flowers?besides, she added, i have all of you, and i still have my mother, even if she is far away. that woman needed those flowers more than i did.

this satisfied the kids, but not the husband. the next day he purchased half a dozen young lilacs bushes and planted them around their yard, and several times since then he has added more.

妈妈， 孩子们问， 那人是谁呀?你为什么把我们的花送给她?她是谁的母亲呀?他们的母亲说， 她不认识那个老太太， 但今天是母亲节， 她看起来是那么孤独， 而鲜花会给任何人带来好心情。再说， 她补充道， 我拥有你们， 而且我还有自己的母亲， 即使她离我很远。那个女人比我更需要那些鲜花。

孩子们得到了满意的答案， 但她的丈夫却没有。第二天， 他买了半打紫丁香幼苗， 栽到了院子四周;而且从那以后， 每隔一段时间， 他就会增加一些。

i was that man. the young mother was, and is, my wife. now, every may, our own yard is redolent with lilacs. every mothers day our kids gather purple bouquets. and every year i remember that smile on a lonely old womans face, and the kindness that put the smile there.

我就是那个男人， 那个年轻母亲是我妻子。如今， 每年5月， 我们自家的院子都会散发出浓烈的紫丁香的芬芳。每逢母亲节， 我们的孩子都要采撷紫丁香花束。而且每年我都会记起一位孤独的老太太脸上露出的笑容， 以及笑容里呈现出的那种慈祥。

When you are reading something in English, you may often come across a new

word. Whats the best way to know it?

In our accommodations, many students have computers. Also we can see in the electronic reading room and the cybercafés, rows of students sit in front of the monitors. Computers play an important role in our everyday life.

We use computers to cope with files and photos etc. And the internet is just a large database and we can get on the internet to search for anything we need through the computers. We can keep in touch with the others with the emails, msn and QQ etc. Enjoying ourselves in music, games and movies can loosen us after nervous classes.

Each coin has two sides. Disadvantages of the computers can also do harm to us. Most of us students use the computers more to play games and chat with strangers than searching for useful information. That’s a waste of time. There is so much rubbish on the net, which are some medium messages about crime or sex. It does harm to our minds.

From all above, we should learn to use computers in our own right ways. The computers doesn’t have no responsibility, it depends on the way we use them.
