Campus activities have been organized in many universities and colleges.

These activities range from academic to recreational， such as academic reports，

social consulting services， speech contests， poet’s club， painting clubs，

singing and dancing groups， etc.

These activities provide students with two major advantages. First of all，

they play a positive role in improving students’ studies. Due to their heavy

schedules， students are often busy themselves with textbooks and seldom expose

themselves to a colorful life. But the variety of the activities provides

opportunities for them to relax themselves and enrich their minds and knowledge.

In addition， the activities also serve students living in the “ivory tower” have

little chance to get in touch with society. Now the activities open the door for

participants to leave their classrooms and get to know society.

All this offers an important means for students to broaden their horizons.

They believe with the right kind of guidance and help campus activities will

continue to grow and flourish.

“你如果要体会什么是沮丧，你就在春节前后到北京或广州的火车站去看看。一张张怆惶的脸在人群中涌动。你这时才知道了一个民族的伤口在哪里。”刚分到国家计生委的研究生小m对几位作家这样描述。他工作的国家计生委在二十年中使中国少生了5个亿，这个数字推迟了灾难降临中国大陆。但他们要忍受很多来自国际上的谴责以及国内的不理解、甚至基层工作人员被暴力侵害。而且这个单位一直被忽视……

人口灾难是否会降临，我们不得而知。我们只知道未来一个世纪中国大陆最大的问题(比环境、腐败、经济、教育更严峻)是人口问题。

大陆老农穷贫到极点却不忘生孩子

“你猜我们家的保姆家里有几个小孩，你保准猜不着，她兄弟姐妹9个。”女作家项小米对我叹道：“太可怕了!他们陕西那什么县，普遍如此，都是七八个孩子。没活干，没田种，树全砍秃了，地慢慢变成沙漠，这些人要吃饭，就都跑到城里。把城里弄的脏乱差，犯罪率激升。就冲这我也要把我女儿送到美国……”

记者在近一两年中发现，这种一家生五六个、七八个的现象在大陆许多地方相当普遍。计划生育的国策，各地执行是很弹性的，有的地方甚至变成干部敛钱的工具，你不是要生吗?拿钱来。

实际上，独生子女政策已经成为汪洋大海中的城市孤岛的一块招牌。

记者几年前到国家贫困县山西大宁采访扶贫款被贪污案时，曾到一个家徒四壁的山民家里走访，这家主人，一个四五十岁的低矮老农，连遭不幸，不仅被干部用他的名字领扶贫款，却分文没给他，最小的男孩子还被山草中的蛇咬伤，性命垂危。当我们走进他山坳中的窑洞时，他哭了起来，我们力所能及地给了他一点资助，他扑通跪在地上以表感激。当知道他有多少孩子时，我们几个人都大吃一惊，八个。

这完全出乎我们的意料，多年来计划生育大好形势的宣传，使我们觉得农村最多能生两个，即使那些一味抗法、被扒屋毁灶的人，也只能有三到四个孩子。

而八个是什么数字?那是比1949年前还多的一个数字。也可能这些家庭比起1949年前，住房改善不大、食物够吃了但质量没好多少，但抗生素等类药品的普及确实使死婴现象少多了。1949年以前，一个农民家庭也能生很多孩子，但最终成活的只有一半强。所以虽然现在有计划生育的约束，农村人口还是猛增。

记者到陕西靖边采访时，发现那里的农民虽然被各种杂税弄得苦不堪言，而且土地日益干旱和荒漠化，生活很艰难，同样也生很多孩子。一个家庭有四五个孩子是很普通的，甚至是数量最少的。

一位女记者在山西大宁县一个很穷的山村金疙瘩村采访时，发现那里农民平均六个孩子。一个五六岁的小女孩告诉她，她有四个哥哥和一个妹妹。有人指着另一个红衣女孩说：“这孩子的父亲弟兄三个，每个都有六个孩子。”女记者了解到，金疙瘩村几乎没有三胎的，大多是五、六胎，最多的一家七胎，且大部分家中有二、三个男孩。

在连吃水都困难的地方，却要生那么多的孩子，他们一起向大地索要，于是大地更加贫困和病态。

贫穷、愚昧、受欺压，生孩子，这四者是紧密相联的。

Tomorrow is dragon boat festival, I and father mother go together Woerma goes buying a zhongzi.

Arrive Woerma, I run to look for a zhongzi with respect to rapid ground. Wow! Here huge crowd of people, really lively. Well? How is that place person special much? Taking away doubt I looked in the past after all. Oh! Buy a zhongzi so, the zhongzi breed here is really too much: Of beef stuffing, of red jujube stuffing, of chop stuffing, of earthnut stuffing... my what look saliva should flow. Took a bag rapidly, say to mom: "Mom, I like to eat fresh chopped meat, I should be bought more a few. " mom nods express to agree, then I bought the zhongzi of a lot of fresh chopped meat.

Buy a zhongzi, we bought a lot of things again, have a meal in hall of Xiang Shang coffee next, had eaten a meal, we came home cheerfully, really happy today!

Look! This is the zhongzi that I buy, but delicious!

导语：人口控制是指减少人口增长，一般是通过减少出生率来实现，下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的优秀英语作文，欢迎阅读与借鉴，谢谢!

Currently, there is a widespread concern about the previously neglected connection between growing human population and decreasing wild species. As the two graphs obviously portrayed, American population in 1980 was 250 times than that in 1800, a trend accompanied by the extinction of nearly 70 kinds of wildlife in the past 300 years. A clear correlation is suggested that mankind has exerted a tremendously negative influence on natural species.

There are many factors responsible for the aforementioned tendency. First and foremost, to satisfy the space demand for the booming population, the only available solution for Americans is to take occupation of forests and grassland. that used to be habitat of wild animals and plants. Furthermore, the process of industrialization and urbanization has generated severe pollution that essentially destroys environment and ecosystem.

In my point of view, the dearth of wildlife today forecasts an unpromising future for humans tomorrow. In order to eliminate species extinction, relevant laws and regulations must be established and enforced to maintain a large portion of unspoiled areas. Effective measures should also be applied to ensure that the impact of pollution be removed.

【参考译文】

目前，人们普遍关注以前忽视的人口增长与减少野生物种之间的关系。正如这两幅图所描绘的，1980的美国人口是1800年的250倍，这是近300年来近70种野生动物灭绝的趋势。一个明显的相关性表明，人类对自然物种产生了巨大的负面影响。

有许多因素负责上述趋势。首先，为了满足人口增长的空间需求，美国人唯一可行的解决办法是占领森林和草原。那曾经是野生动植物的栖息地。此外，工业化和城市化进程产生了严重的污染，基本上破坏了环境和生态系统。

在我看来，今天的野生动物缺乏预测人类没有未来的明天。为了减少物种灭绝，应该制定相关的法律法规和执行保持大部分的原始生态区。还应采取有效措施，以消除污染的影响。

Once man did not have to think about the protection of his environment。

There were few people on the earth， and natural resources seemed to be

unlimited。

Today things are different。 The world has bee too crowded。 We are using up

our natural resources，and polluting our environment with dangerous chemicals。 If

we continue to do this， human life on earth will not survive。

We realize that if too many fish are taken from the sea， there will soon be

none left。 Yet，with modern fishing methods， more and more fish are caught。We

know that if too many trees are cut down， forests will disappear。 Yet， we

continue to use powerful machines to cut down more and more trees。 We see that

if rivers are polluted with waste products， we will die。 Yet， waste products

are

still put into rivers。

We know that if the population continues to rise at the present rate， in a

few years， there wont be enough food。What can we do to solve these

problems?

If we eat more vegetables and less meat， there will be more food available。

Land for crops feeds five times more people than land where animals are

kept。

Our natural resources will last longer if we learn to recycie them。

The world population will not rise so quickly if people use modern methods

of birth control。

Finally， if we educate people to think about the problems we shall have a

better and cleaner planet in the future。

Today is "March" Womens Day, I want to do several things to help his

mother, let her have a happy holiday. At noon, I came home and found the table

already filled with delicious food, but just could not see her mother. Suddenly,

I heard a sound of laundry to the laundry and saw the stage, my mother was

washing clothes. I said: "Mom, you go to eat, Ill wash. Because today is your

holiday, I want to make you happy." "Are you okay?" Mom asked, smiling. "OK," I

said. Mom went to eat doubtfully. I picked up the sleeves, took out a piece of

clothing, wet with blisters, and then cast soap, then rub hard. Yeah rub rub,

rub my hands are red, but there are still a little greasy clothes, do not rub

clean. I had to rinse with a brush, then rinse well with water and the clothes

clean. I washed some clothes, my mother came, looked at me hard to look like, my

mother smiles, so happy, so happy.

Evening, I rush to help her mother wash the dishes, I washed dishes placed

neatly. Mother looked, smiled and said: "So this is Yao Yao gave me holiday

gift!" Although I am more tired than usual today, but I am very happy because

I let my mother had a happy holiday season. Memorable day - dedicated to the

Womens Day Mom.

王维嘉和丈夫几乎可以说是听着“控制人口数量，关爱地球母亲”的宣传长大的。

Wang Weijia and her husband grew up surrounded by posters proclaiming "Mother Earth is too tired to sustain more children."

他们将这个口号铭记在心，以至于今夏上海政府改变政策、鼓励年轻人生二胎时，他们迅速且坚定地表示：绝不!据悉，上海政府推出此举是受到了城市低出生率和人口老龄化问题双方面影响。

They learned the lesson so well that when Shanghai government officials, alarmed by their citys low birthrate and aging population, changed course this summer and began encouraging young couples to have more than one child, their reaction was instant and firm: No way.

“我们已经将全部时间和精力放在了独生子上，没精力再要第二个孩子了，”31岁的某公司人力资源主管王维嘉说。他们的儿子现在8个月大。

We have already given all our time and energy for just one child. We have none left for a second, said the 31-year-old Wang, a human resources administrator with an 8-month-old son.

一直以来，人们都认为计划生育政策会缓解就业市场的压力，同时保护自然资源。但是，它也导致了危险的低出生率和极大的老龄化人口数量。有专家表示，政府不大可能改变计划生育这一国策，因此，官员们正试图寻找其他方法来解决这一政策所产生的问题。

The family planning policy has been credited with easing job market pressures and preserving natural resources. Yet it has also led to a dangerously low birth-rate and an unusually large aging population. While experts say the government is unlikely to change the national policy, officials are looking into ways that they can address the policys downside.

中国的计划生育政策制定于20世纪70年代。该政策鼓励晚婚晚育，限制城市夫妇只要一个孩子，农村夫妇可以要两个孩子。新华社援引官方数据称，国家的出生率从1978年的1.8%降至2007年的1.2%，累计减少人口数量4亿人。

Chinas family planning policy was formulated in the early 1970s. It encourages late marriages and late childbearing, and it limits most urban couples to one child and most rural couples to two children. Official figures show that the countrys birth rate dropped from 1.8 percent in 1978 to around 1.2 percent in 2007, resulting in 400 million fewer births cumulatively, according to the Xinhua news agency.

与此同时，联合国人口署预计，截至2020年，60岁以上(包括60岁)的中国居民数量将占人口总量的16.%，到2050年这个比例将达到31.1%。

At the same time, the number of Chinese residents 60 and older is predicted to explode from 16.7 percent of the population in 2020 to 31.1 percent by 2050, according to the UN Population Division. That is far above the global average of about 20 percent.

在发达的沿海城市，例如上海，受教育人口数量相对较高，这种不平衡现象则更为显著。《中国日报》去年报道说，60岁以上(包括60岁)人口数量占上海注册居民总量的22%，而上海的出生率还不到每对夫妻一个孩子。

The imbalance is worse in wealthy coastal cities with highly educated populations, such as Shanghai. Last year, according to China Daily, people 60 and older accounted for almost 22 percent of Shanghais registered residents, while the birthrate was less than one child per couple.

人口学专家、国家人口计生委专家委员田雪原最近在《人民日报》发表署名文章，建议允许夫妇双方为独生子女者生育两个孩子。

Tian Xueyuan, a population specialist and member of the National Population and Family Planning Commission (NPFPC), addressed these concerns in the Peoples Daily recently. Tian proposed that couples who are the only children in their families should be allowed to have two children.

同时，一些地方政府已经开始采取措施改善所管辖地区的现状，国家人口计生委委员史春静表示，以上海为例，允许夫妻双方都是独生子女的家庭生二胎。

Meanwhile, some local governments are already taking steps to improve the situation in their regions, according to Shi Chunjing, an official of NPFPC. Shanghai, for instance, is giving certain urban residents (if both husband and wife are the only children) permission to have two children.

The longing summer vacation is approaching, it is the best part of the

school year for me. I cannot let the holidays elapse (逝去) meaninglessly, my

vacation should be a phase (时期、阶段) of harvest. The events in my plan should give

me a sense of infinite potential.

The following plan may reveal the intensity of my desire to travel, work

and study in this vacation. In the first few days I want to climb Mount Hua Shan

with several friends to refresh ourselves. Then I tend to visit relatives,

senior school teachers and former classmates(老同学). Besides, to find out the best

ways to cultivate my abilities, I will find a part time job and conduct some

social investigation.

In short, I want to do interesting things in the summer vacation. Whatever

I do, the goal is the same: to get necessary experience, acquire knowledge and

broaden my horizons. Though the six week vacation will pass away at lightning

speed, its influence is bound to last long.

Mid-autumn day is a special festival in China, which is one of the traditional Chinese festivals. It falls on the 15th day of Augustlunar month every year. Our Chinese will celebrate it on that day. I think there are not too many people can reject the temptation of it. I like this festival very much. I have two reasons.

First of all, Mid-autumn has the deep meaning of reunion. In China, people regard Mid-autumn day as very important, so no matter where they are, they will come back to their family if there is a chance. They don’t like celebrate this festival outside, which will make them feel lonely. Thus, they will go home by all means. Luckily, the government also pays great attention to this traditional festival. There are laws tomake sure people have holidays on that special day. In the other word, mid-autumn festival gives a chance for family get together.

Secondly, every family will prepare a big meal on that day. All the food is delicious. It is good to have a big meal. I think nobody will not interested in delicious food. The mooncake is a necessary decoration forMid-autumn day. It tastes good, too. It is the tradition for a long time. How pleased to enjoy the glorious full moon with mooncake!

This is why I love Mid-autumn festival so much.

Notes：

The air we breathe is so freely available that we take it for granted. Yet without it we could not survive more than a few minutes. For the most part, the same air is available to everyone, and everyone needs it. Some people use the air to sustain them while they sit around and feel sorry for themselves. Others breathe in the air and use the energy it provides to make a magnificent life for themselves.

Opportunity is the same way. It is everywhere. Opportunity is so freely available that we take it for granted. Yet opportunity alone is not enough to create success. Opportunity must be seized and acted upon in order to have value. So many people are so anxious to "get in" on a "ground floor opportunity", as if the opportunity will do all the work. Thats impossible.

Just as you need air to breathe, you need opportunity to succeed. It takes more than just breathing in the fresh air of opportunity, however. You must make use of that opportunity. Thats not up to the opportunity. Thats up to you. It doesnt matter what "floor" the opportunity is on. What matters is what you do with it.

China is the biggest family with 56 ethnic groups. Among them, the Han

Chinese is the largest and the most highly developed group. The Han Chinese can

be found in many parts of China. They mainly live in the north plain region, the

middle and the lower reaches of Yangze River and Pearl River Deltas. The other

55 groups are the minority ethnic groups. They are distributed in the

mountainous areas of southwest and northwest of China.

Being too far away from big cities, the minority ethnic groups are poor in

economy and there people are not well-educated. They have very few

understandings of science and technology. So they must develop their

economy.

To help the people of the minority ethnic groups live better, the

government should take some effective measures. For one thing, more and more

knowledgeable undergraduates should be encouraged to those poor areas to help

the people there to get rid of their poverty. For another, the advanced science

and technology must be introduced into the minority ethnic groups to improve

their living conditions. More importantly, people of the minority ethnic groups

should be given equal opportunities to study and work. Only so will China be

more prosperous in the future.

I have a kind mother. Here, let me use the "language" camera to take a

picture of her!

She has a pair of big eyes and double-fold eyelid. Tilted slightly under

the nose of asevere mouth, is not tall. Mothers hand is very rough, because dad

on a business trip in the outside, mum do all the chores. Such as cleaning,

washing clothes and so on, her hand how does not become rough? Rough hands it

doesnt matter, however, when her hands gently pat when I fell asleep, will also

bring me warm, let I drifted into sleep.

At ordinary times mom to my learning method is very concerned about. No

matter how busy, she will carefully check my homework, I wont do topic she

would teach me patiently. If the homework careless, she often remind me, want me

to be careful. She comforted me: "you are also pretty good, get rid of this

trouble, would be much good." Listen to the mother, I told myself, must correct

the flaws of this careless. Summer, mom know I study very tired, you take me to

travel, see the world, I have learned many knowledge outside.

Because I love my mom, so I know, mom, mom is of concern to me, so I am

proud of I have a good mother.

presently, the world is faced with serious water problems. but these problems witt become more intense and more comple in the future. our increasing population witt tremendously increase urban waters, primarily sewage. on the other hand, increasing demands for water witt decrease substantially the amount of water available for diluting wastes.

rapidly epanding industries which involve more and more comple chemical processes will produce large volumes of liquid wastes. many of thesewitt contain chemicals that are poisonous. to feed our rapidly epanding population, agriculture will have to be intensified.

this will involve ever increasing quantities of agriculture chemicals. from this, it is apparent that drastic steps must be taken immediately to develop corrective measures for the pollution problems.

there are two ways by which these pollution problems can be lessened. the first relates to the treatment of wastes to decrease their pollution hazard. this involves the processing of solid wastes "prior to" disposal and the treatment of liquid wastes to permit the reuse to the water or best reduce pollution upon final disposal.

the second approach is to develop an economic use for all or part of the wastes. farm manure is spread in fields as a nutrient. wastes from sewage disposal plants are used in some areas both for irrigation and for the nutrients contained.

liquid wastes from other processing plants may also be used as a supplemental source of water. only by doing these promptly now can we epect to solve the serious water problems in the future.

Mid Autumn Festival is a traditional festival of China。 It used to be as

important as Spring Festival 。It is usually celebrated in September or October。

This festival is to celebrate the harvest and to enjoy the beautiful moon

light。

To some extent， it is like Thanks Giving day in western countries。 On this

day， people usually get together with their families and have a nice meal。 After

that， people always eat delicious moon cakes， and watch the moon。 The moon is

always very round on that day， and makes people think of their relatives and

friends。 It is a day of pleasure and happiness。 Hope you have a wonderful Mid

Autumn festival!

Halloween

Halloween is an autumn holiday that Americans celebrate every year. It means "holy evening," and it comes every October 31, the evening before All Saints Day. However, it is not really a church holiday, it is a holiday for children mainly.

Every autumn, when the vegetables are ready to eat, children pick large orange pumpkins. Then they cut faces in the pumpkins and put a burning candle inside. It looks as if there were a person looking out of the pumpkin! These lights are called jack-o-lanterns, which means "Jack of the lantern".

The children also put on strange masks and frightening costumes every Halloween. Some children paint their faces to look like monsters. Then they carry boxes or bags from house to house. Every time they come to a new house, they say,"Trick or treat! Money or eat!" The grown-ups put treat-money or candy in their bags.

Not only children, but most grown-ups also love Halloween and Halloween parties because on this day,they can disguise themselves as personages or ghost as their imaginations will lead them. This bring them the satisfaction of being young.

万圣节前夕

万圣节前夕是美国人年年都会庆祝的秋季节日。它的意思是“神圣的夜晚”，在每年的10月31日，也就是万圣节前夜。但实际上这不是一个真正的宗教节日，而主要是孩子们的节日。

每年秋天蔬菜成熟可以食用的时候，孩子们就会挑出大个儿的橙色南瓜。然后在南瓜上刻上一张脸，把一根点燃的蜡烛放在里面。看起来就好像有人在向南瓜外面张望。这些灯就叫做“iack-o-lantems”，意思也就是“杰克的灯”。

每年万圣节前夕孩子们还戴上奇怪的面具，穿上吓人的服装。有些孩子把脸刷成怪物。然后他们拿着盒子或袋子挨家挨户串门。每来到一个新房子他们就说：“不款待就捣乱!给钱还是吃的!”大人们就会把用来招待的钱或糖放在他们的袋子里了。

不仅孩子，许多成年人也喜欢万圣节前夕和万圣节前夕晚会。因为这一天他们可以根据自己的想象把自己装扮成名流或幽灵。这会带给他们年轻的快感。
