一天，我妈母亲给我买了两只小兔子。我特别的开心。

从那天起，两只小兔子成为了我的好朋友。它们有两只小小的耳朵，红红的眼睛和一个又白又胖的身子。它们很了不起的。

每日，它们互相玩的很开心。一天，我找不到它们了，我问我的母亲，“它们哪去了？”我母亲告诉我她不清楚。最后，我在草坪发现它们。它们很脏。我很生气，但当我看到它们那可爱的脸，我又开心起来了。

我爱我的小兔子，他们也爱我。它们是我永远的朋友。

我曾经听到过这样一句话：“每一个生命都有一段故事，每一个生命都是一个不朽的传奇。”或许你会说：“有谁在意过一只小小的蚂蚁?它虽有生命，但不值一提。”如果你这样想就错了，每一个生命来到这个世界上都不容易，所以，请尊重每一个生命。

10月5日下午，我跟着德州晚报的小记者去德州人民公园里的动物园去看那些大自然的精灵——动物们。一进门就看到一只大灰狼，懒懒地趴在笼子里的地上。老师说：“它是狗的近亲。”嘿，长得还真像一只大狗。它对我们的到来一点儿也不感兴趣，眯着双眼理都不理。别看它现在老实，可是我知道，在草原上可是连豹子都不敢轻易招惹它的，威风得很呢。继续往前走，我们还看到了高大的双峰驼、笨重的黑熊、健壮的果下马、美丽的孔雀、凶猛的老虎、强壮的狮子。小时候，我走到这里就不敢走了，跟个老鼠似的躲在爸爸怀里，不敢抬头。现在想起来还挺不好意思呢。一会儿就来到了我最喜欢的猴山，里面有好多猴子，你追我跑，爬上爬下，一个个玩得兴高采烈，猴王高高地坐在山顶，傲然地看着它的子民，还真有大王的样子呢。我们都哈哈地笑了起来。

出了动物园，我们又去了旁边的趣味园。这是让游人和动物们亲密接触的地方，人们在这里可以亲手喂动物吃东西，还能轻轻地抚摸它们呢。

这次参观动物园我有了深深地感触：动物们也是地球大家庭中的一员，它们和我们一样也有生存的权利，它们是我们的朋友，是我们的邻居。我们应该去了解它们，爱护它们。这样我们的地球才能健康、美好，才能更加丰富多彩!

[ALetterofSympath初二英语作文

百虎围村，这场惊心动魄的人与野兽的博弈结果如何？带着好奇我翻开了《百虎围村》这本书。愚昧的村民为了改善生活肆意破坏森林、打猎打虎，终于在一次捕捉了虎崽后彻底激怒了老虎们——百虎围村。村民们失去了所有牲畜，而老虎们也遭受了灭顶捕杀，野生华南虎从此杳无踪迹。

带着对百虎围村夺幼崽的敬佩和对华南虎几近灭绝的惋惜，我继续阅读，一个个惊险感人的动物故事跃然纸上：雄林麝为救妻子奋不顾身；兔狲屡战恶人报恩少女；丛林猫护子心切智杀蟒蛇……

大开眼界的同时我被深深地震撼了：动物是充满灵性的，它们有情有义、机智勇敢、爱憎分明，丝毫不比自诩为“高级灵长类动物”的人类逊色。当人类爱护它们时，它们会涌泉相报；然而当人类为了一己私欲不给它们留活路时，它们也不会给人类留活路。我不禁想起了林肯的话——“我对人权和动物权益一样重视，这也应是全体人类该有的共识。”我希望越来越多的人能够敬畏自然、保护动物，我相信如果我们与自然和平共处，大自然也会毫不吝啬地馈赠我们。

还记得动物园门前的那条桃花溪吗?每当桃花盛开的时候，清澈的小溪上漂这几瓣桃花瓣，别提有多美了，绝对称得上桃源仙境了。曾几何时，小溪里垃圾堆积如山，还发出阵阵恶臭，让人不敢靠近。为什么?我们为什么要毁掉这美丽的风景线？长此以往，我们还会毁掉些什么呢？？作为城市的小主人，我必须要保护家园，必须保护自己赖以生存的家园！

这不，我积极参加了城市创模活动。看，同学们变样了！下课了，大家却没有一拥而散，环视一圈，把地上的垃圾扔进字纸篓，这才关了电灯，满意地离开教室，忙碌自己的事去了。我经过走廊，听到了水槽处“哗啦啦”的流水声，心痛啊，赶忙奔过去拧紧水龙头，正欲离开，想了想，便和同学商量下课后轮流来看守，她们毫不犹豫地点头答应。午餐时，大家都闷头吃饭，不知是谁埋怨饭菜不好吃，立马招徕一片责备：“还有得吃，知足吧！”“就是，我们不是一样地在吃嘛”“没错，等到连这些青菜也成奢侈品的时候，你就知道‘粒粒皆辛苦’了”……老师笑着，有些诧异：这群小姐少爷们，什么时候变如此节俭了？呵呵，好现象啊……

我们不仅在校园里践行着绿色环保的活动，我们还将这环保思想带进了家里。

我们在世界环境日里认真查阅，收集各种资料，写有关环保治理设想的文章，观看环保方面的录像带。我们号召家人从不同的方面来关爱家乡，从身边的小事做起，为周围的环境奉献自己的一份力量：放下方便袋，拿起菜篮子；走下小汽车，骑上自行车；控制家用水，一水要多用；远离白色污染，不使用泡沫饭盒和一次性筷子……我还和家人在院子里种了一些花生,绿豆，黄豆，黑豆，辣椒，大蒜，大葱和黄桷树的种子，我们精心照顾它们，期盼它们快快长大，就能为环保做出贡献，虽然只是那麽一点点。

我，我们，现在做的不过是一些微小的事，但是我坚信，只要我们人人都有保护环境的责任心，从自己做起，从小事做起，携手保护我们的家园，我们一定可以尽情享受大自然赋予我们的无尽幸福……

Nowadays, Hollywood movies dominate the market and many young people take

these superheroes characters as their idols. So some people start to feel

disappointed about the local culture, because they havent seen its essence. As

the world gets globalization, it is in need of building peoples sense of local

cultural heritage.

The preservation of our cultural heritage is the necessary task. The

culture contains the essence of Chinese peoples spirit, which has been tested

by time. When people admit our culture, we will be proud of being part of the

country, so as to enhance the unity and have the desire to make a contribution

to the society. The loss of cultural heritage will destroy a country, which can

be seen in history.

As the young generation faces the cultural shock in the globalization, so

they are easy to deny the local culture, because they know little about it. Thus

school should implant the education of culture and the government has named a

day called Chinese Cultural Heritage Day, in the purpose of advocating the

essence of local culture. When children grow up, they will fight for protecting

the culture.

第二天，我想让同学到我家看看我的鸭子，我给同学打电话，让他来。他看了鸭子，也觉得很好玩。我们把一只小鸭子放在地上，它向前走了几步就摔倒了，它抓了起来，又摔倒了，我们哈哈大笑。我们玩够了，就把小鸭子扔进了箱子里，去玩玩具了。

a country maid was walking along with a can of milk upon her head,when she fell into the following train of reflections."the money for which i shall sell this milk will enable me to increase my stock of eggs to three hundred,these eggs,allowing for what may prove addle,and what may be destroyed by vermin,will produce at least two hundred and fifty chickens.the chickens will be fit to carry to market just at the time when poultry is always dear;so that by the new year i cannot fail of having money enough to purchase a new gown.green-let me consider-yes,green becomes my complexion best .and green it shall be, in this dress i will go to the fair,where all young fellows will strive to have me for a parter;but no-i shall refuse every one of them,and with a disdainful toss turn from them."

transported with this idea,she could not forbear acting with her head the thought that passed in her mind,when down came the can of milk!and all her imaginary happiness vanished in a moment.

mid-autumn day is a traditional festival in china. almost everyone likes to eat mooncakes on that day. most families have a dinner together to celebrate the festival. a saying goes, "the moon in your hometown is almost always the brightest and roundest". many people who live far away from homes want to go back to have a family reunion. how happy it is to enjoy the moon cakes while watching the full moon with your family members.

In particular, is the giant whale mass stranding of whales is not uncommon, even in the same group of whales stranded in a few days in a row, but because it has always been hard to understand. According to the scientists speculate, as the whale to have a strong group of marine animals, and the scope of activities near the coast, so there are two possibilities: First, the leading whale sick, toward the beach, the other whales also customary to follow the whale to the Forward setting; Second, the whales chasing prey into the bank. When one or a few stranded whales, other whales will follow suit or to try to rescue, resulting in a large number of whales stranded at the same time on the same piece of the beach.

对人有益的动物有很多，例如有蜻蜓、青蛙和小燕子等等。

我们先说蜻蜓吧，它是益虫，它对人的益处可多了。它生活在小池子旁边，捕捉害虫。有些人，捉蜻蜓，捕蜻蜓，捉住后到处卖。我们应给立一个保护蜻蜓法，如果他们再敢捉蜻蜓，捕蜻蜓，就是知法犯法，交给警察叔叔处理。

青蛙也不例外，它也是捕捉害虫的能手，不过，它生活在庄稼附近的池子旁边，有时候，它也到庄稼地，旁边捕捉害虫，人们都称它保护庄稼的好帮手。有的小朋友，到池子旁边，捕捉青蛙，回家后，吃青蛙。我们应该在池子旁边树一个牌子，上面写着“保护青蛙，人人有责”，这样就不会有人捕捉青蛙了。

小燕子也是捕捉害虫的一类，它生活在大树的鸟巢里，它在天空捕捉害虫。有些人，用枪把小燕子射下来，回家吃了，或者卖了。我们应给设一个森林保护区，让小燕子和其它受保护的动物住进去，这样，既保护了小燕子，也保护了其它的动物。

如果没有这些有益动物，害虫就会增多。这样，连农药和灭害灵都不行了。我们应给共同保护动物。

我喜欢的小动物，最喜欢的小动物要数我家的那条小黑狗了。

我家的小黑狗可逗人喜欢啦!一身黑亮亮的绒毛，眼睛上面有两个白点，颇像两颗白色珠子。头上和大腿上的毛很长，像马鬓一样拖到地面。直楞楞的耳朵，好象时刻在倾听着周围有什么动静。又粗又长的扫帚尾巴不时摇摆着，像一个免费清洁工呢!更逗人的是它总翘着潮湿的鼻子向着我，像一个生病的孩子，看起来似乎很可怜，其实，我知道它很想和我玩。在向我发出邀请呢!

小黑狗的性情很温顺，很通人性。我和它相处久了，产生了感情，它好像很理解我。每当我生气的时候，它就静静地蹲在我身边一动也不动，似乎想陪我度过那难过的时间;我高兴的时候，它就会围着我跑来跑去，“汪汪汪”地叫着，很讨人喜欢。

小狗的经历危险也有几次。第一次是掉进了河里，幸好被人发现拉了上来，喂给它吃药，不久就好了。还有几次是被毒狗的人毒了几次，幸好也被及早治疗，才得脱险了。从那以后，它就能嗅出那些食物有毒，哪些食物无毒。后来，我家的狗再也没中过毒。它够机灵吧!

我喜欢我家的小狗。我希望它永远伴随我左右，陪我快乐成长!

我家有一只聪明怜俐的小狗，它有一个好听的名字—球球。

球球全身毛白如雪，铜铃大眼，鼻子滑漉漉的，尾巴短短的，远看就像一个小茸球。

它特别喜欢睡觉。有一次，我去洗澡，它在客厅东走走，西逛逛，实在无聊了便走到床头柜下，抻了个懒腰，肚皮朝上，悠然自得的躺在地上。小脑袋向左面歪着，两只小爪紧紧的抱在一起，很陶醉的闭上眼睛睡着了。等我洗完澡，正想找它玩的时候，看到它已经呼呼大睡了。

它不但爱睡觉，还很贪吃。记得有一次，我们吃着香喷喷的排骨，球球看见了，馋得直流口水，看到它的样子，我真的不忍心，只好向地上抛了一块骨头，小狗跳了起来，迅速地叼住了骨头，爬到了床底下，狼吞虎咽地吃了起来，吃得津津有味。

Mistreat your animals and someone might take them from you.

Allen （not his real name） is driving north out of Virginia in the middle of the night， with stolen property in the back of his van. But Allen isn‘t a criminal – in fact he normally would never dream of breaking the law.

The “property” he stole is a dog he calls Flash. Allen doesn‘t particularly want Flash – in fact， in a few hours he‘ll drop him off at a stranger‘s house and never see him again. “I couldn‘t just stand by and do nothing，” he explains. “The owner was plainly neglecting the dog， but the police wouldn‘t do anything about it.”

For over a year， Flash had been tied to a tree in front of someone‘s house. “He was sick and malnourished，” says Allen. “More than once I saw [the owner] kick him for no reason at all.” Allen had repeatedly tried to get the owner to take better care of the animal， or to give it away to someone who would. Finally， he took matters into his own hands – in the dead of night， he took Flash off his chain and drove away with him.

Within an hour， Flash had a new license tag and was being treated by a veterinarian who knew better than to ask questions. Pictures of the dog were put up on animal rescue websites， asking for someone to adopt the dog. A couple in New York offered to take the dog， and animal lovers in states along the way agreed to provide transportation.

Nobody can say for sure how many animals like Flash are ‘rescued‘ every year – receiving stolen property is a crime， so rescuers tend to stay in the shadows. But a growing number of empty collars attests to their work as more and more animals find their way to loving homes.
