Children, you grabbed the small tadpoles right, you must know that tadpole grew up to become small frog, the frog can eat insects, so the frog is our humans good friends. We should protect it, not hurt it. But some hotels are also sold the frog meat? Once, dad and his friends took me to dinner. A waiter said: "you see, this is we store the launch of new specials, stir flogs ball". "Chicken is what ah?" I curiously ask, "chicken is the frog." The waiter said, with a smile. I was very angry, because they hurt our good friends-frog! Another thing, he makes a big inspiration. One day, when I finish school, saw a man at the school gate at little chicks must sell, and I will have mercy on them. Because the little chicks must first came to this world, away from the mother, away from the mother love and mother warm embrace, and this is what they faced starved to death, the risk of freezing to death. At that time I thought: we humans are so happy! When you see here, did you see to protect our human friends-animals!

小朋友，你们抓过小蝌蚪吧，你们一定知道蝌蚪长大要变成小青蛙，青蛙可以吃害虫，所以青蛙是我们人类的好朋友。我们应该保护它，而不是伤害它。 可是有些饭店还卖青蛙肉呢。有一次，爸爸和他的朋友带着我去吃饭。一位服务员过来说：“您看，这是我们店新推出的特色菜，爆炒田鸡球”。“田鸡是什么 呀?”我好奇地问，“田鸡是青蛙。”服务员笑着说道。我当时很气愤，因为他们伤害了我们的好朋友——青蛙!还有一件事，他对我有很大的启发。一天，我放学 的时候，看见一个人在学校门口卖小鸡仔，我好可怜它们。因为小鸡仔刚来到这个世界上，就远离了妈妈，远离了母爱和妈妈温暖的怀抱，这也使它们面临着饿死、 冻死的危险。当时我想到了：我们人类是多么幸福啊!当你看到这里时，你是不是明白了要保护我们人类的朋友——动物呀!

This is the composition about to protect and love our environment. Indeed, we only have one earth, it is essential and imperative for us to treat it nicely. Or else, we will be the one suffering. As a matter of fact, a great number of animals and plants had extinct. All this was substantially because of we human being. And a large number of them are endangered. If this does not imply that we are not obliged to do something, the world is going insane and will be destroyed. To stop this from happening, we have many options. First and foremost we should start from ourselves. Do as what a perfect citizen should do. Then, restrain the factories from polluting, this can be done by establishing laws and rules. If we united as one, nothing is impossible.

A whale is a huge animal, it is full of treasure.

The Japanese whaling, often take a whale as one of the worlds delicious. The Japanese whales catch, is not to eat is to do things, the number of whales now less and less, dont whaling nations, the Japanese whaling. The Japanese had captured 440 minke whales. Is anyway not to put the sell those poor minke whales to hotel. The Japanese whaling said again, we are used to study. In fact, the Japanese whale meat to the restaurant and hotel, just want to get rich. The Japanese would really lie. I really hate them.

The whales that state protection. Now the Japanese whaling. If you dont eat whale hunt to the Japanese, the state is relieved. How do we let the Japanese whaling! This makes the motherland to worry.

I thought, and the Japanese peace, no, they will also have the whaling. Or let them whaling, no. We secretly protecting whales, no. Talk to the Japanese President conditions, no, no, all not line.

We watched the whales by the Japanese to catch to eat! We Chinese will try every way to save the whales!

鲸是一种庞大的动物，它的身上全是宝。

日本人常常捕鲸，就把鲸当成世界上美味之一。日本人把鲸捕来，不就是吃就是做东西，现在鲸的数量越来越少，国家提出不要捕鲸，日本人就要捕鲸。日本人曾经捕获过440条小须鲸。还死活不放的把那些可怜的小须鲸拿到饭店出售。日本人再次捕鲸还说，我们是拿来研究的。其实日本人把鲸肉送到菜馆和饭店里，就想发财。日本人真会撒谎。我真的恨透他们了。

国家把鲸认为保护动物了。现在日本人还是要捕鲸。如果日本人不把鲸捕来吃，那国家就放心了。我们该怎样让日本人不捕鲸呢!这就让祖国担忧了。

我想：和日本人讲和，不行，他们还会捕鲸的。还是就让他们捕鲸，不行。我们暗中保护鲸呢，不行。跟日本人总统谈条件，不行，不行，都不行。

我们只能眼睁睁地看着鲸被日本人捉去吃了吗!我们中国人一定会想尽一切的办法拯救鲸的!

水,是生命之源，这句话人人皆知。但水与生命到底是怎样的一种关系呢?早在离现在有30―40亿年的时候，地球上有了水，而且形成了海洋。这种水，我们被称为远古生态水。而远古生态水又通过某些特殊物质的催化、激活作用，便形成了某种生物高分子，再逐渐发展成具有生命的物体，最后才有了人与动植物。因此可以概括地说：没有水就没有地球上的生命。从这个意义上讲，水无愧于生命之源。

水是人类生存和发展的重要资源。现代营养学认为，水在营养物质被人体吸收时，起的是"媒体"作用和"桥梁"作用。水的使命是将这两类营养物质，运输到人体细胞之内。如果没有水，这两类营养物质就被细胞拒之门外，这就是人"脱水"致死的原因。俗话说，"渴死你"，说的也是缺水的严重性和危害性。研究证明,人体重量的65%左右是水。其中在细胞内的水约55%，在细胞外的约10%。一般情况下,人在有水没有食物情况下,可以生存7天左右,但在有食物而没有水环境的情况下,只能生存3天.可见,水对人类生存和经济发展起着决定性的作用.

总之，无论是地球生命的形式，还是人生命的维持和成长，都离不开水。因此，将水誉为"生命之源"。也正因为如此，饮水问题成了历代科学家关注和研究的一个重要课题。

我国是有13亿人口的发展国家,水资源的污染加剧了我国水资源危机.党和国家十分重视水资源可持续利用.先后制定了[水法等一系列合理开发,利用.保护,节约水资源等相关法律法规.反映了党和国家对水资源利用和保护问题的高度重视.

如今我们大多数人对水资源的认识非常的简单,根本不重视节约用水,比如洗手时水龙头开起来不不及时关,洗澡时时把浴缸里的水放满后还一直开着水龙头,想想类似的情况要浪费多少的水啊?都是一些大家力所能及的问题,为什么我们就不愿意动动我们的双手呢?让我们的财富就白白地从我们的手下流失了……难道你就不觉得可惜吗?正因我们对水资源的忽视才会造成今天这样的严重缺水现象,如果还不尽快制止这种浪费现象来保护水资源,那几年以后我们的生活将会是什么样的生活,还会是《生活富裕,生命阳光》吗?请大家仔细想想吧。

我作为一名少先队员,尽自己的一点微薄之力来呼吁社会,来宣传和倡导保护水资源,节约用水;从我做起,从一点一滴做起,人人提高对水的认识.珍惜水、爱护水、节约水、为子孙后代造福.水～使之美，水～使之润,水～使之生;让我们一起来珍惜每一滴水吧。

Our society in constant development, our living standard has been improved, but my door but misses the point, that is environmental protection.

You see, lawn grass became yellow, and the roadside trees listlessly, dense forest under the handfuls of sharp saw also gradually away from us. This, but the fact that iron!

In the countryside, people cultivation of levelling, and so many trees lost their lives, however, these precious land because of improper use, was a wild field soil. In this way, a vast expanse of land with a large abandoned, year after year, day after day, past the dense forest will one day be a state long, become a piece of the other people hate the boundless gobi desert!

Everybody should know area Tuo lake, the biological variety there, especially the hairy crabs there, with a meat tender yellow, more and more the favour of people. Now, Tuo lake surface is covered by algae is full, the water had turned out to be a tan. And also the dead fish floating in the lake, garbage, and black water plant, are miserable sufferings

Careless human ah, you wake up, we live on the earth has not been able to afford, the forests on the earth in the sharply reduce, desert and wilderness is a miraculous increase. Clean fresh water resources is constantly reduced, however, dirty ChouShui river is in the unceasing increase, shouldnt, all is false?

Want people to listen to me a advice: please dont covet interests and cut down a tree, please dont waste water because of the naughty. Although these are only some things, but the cumulative up one by one and is a great thing. I believe that in the near future, our world will become more beautiful.

我们的社会在不断的发展，我们的生活水平也在不断的提高，可是我门却忽略了一点，那就是环境保护。

你瞧，草坪上的小草变黄了，路边的大树无精打采，茂密的森林也在一把把锋利的电锯之下渐渐的离我们远去。这，可是铁一样的事实!

在农村，人们垦荒造田，许许多多的树木就这样失去了生命，然而，这些宝贵的土地有因为使用不当，又被沦为荒田野土。就这样，一大片一大片的土地被荒废了，年复一年，日复一日，昔日那茂密的森林总有一天会一反长态，变成一片另人讨厌的茫茫的戈壁沙滩!

大家应该都知道五河沱湖吧，那儿的生物品种繁多，特别是那儿的大闸蟹，，以个大肉嫩、黄多而倍受人们的青睐。而现在呢，沱湖水面上皆被水藻覆盖满了，水竟然变成了黃褐色!而且湖水中还漂浮的死鱼、垃圾、还有黑乎乎的水草，真是惨不忍

糊涂的人类啊，你们醒醒吧，我们赖以生存的地球已经承受不了了，地球上的森林在急剧的减少，沙漠和荒野却奇迹般的增加。干净的淡水资源在不断的减少，然而，肮脏的臭水河却在不断的增加，难道，这些都是假的吗?

希望人们听我的一句劝告：请不要因贪图利益而砍树，请不要因为贪玩而而浪费水。虽然这些只是一些小事，但是一件件累计起来，就是一件大事。我相信，不久的将来，我们的世界将会变的更加美好。

Humans have only one earth, it is human beings rely on natural resources, people want to live a happy happy life, you must consciously to protect the natural environment, care for the earth.

However, in recent years, the earths environment is more and more bad: global warming, hurricane, heavy rain, such as frequent disastrous weather, infectious diseases such as SARS, bird flu, bring serious threat to human life and work and a lot of inconvenience. These are the people constantly "damage" the result of the earth. Large forests have been cut down, green green hill was digging, beautiful grassland into desert, the clear river water turbidity. Trees less, castle peak bald, grassland drought, water dark and make people living environment deteriorate, breathe the air, living environment "occupied" by many harmful things, the virus will take into the body of people, we human beings will suffer from some terrible diseases.

A few days ago, I read in the newspaper that a cartoon: a man sitting on a tree, is he sitting on the branch. "Hum, really funny." Some people may think so. Dont you have to think of it, this is just a funny cartoon? It is just in our? Dont you see, it is warning us: human in the damage to the environment at the same time, also in imperceptible to hurt yourself.

When you walk in the street, if you want to spit, what would you do? If you chose to spit on the ground, you ever think that you hurt yourself? Phlegmy contains a lot of bacteria, when the sun will reproduce and spread. Also, when you cut down a tree, when you cut a piece of grass, when you pour the dirt into rivers, dont you think it is in the destruction of the environment, "injury"?

Proverb is well said: ", predecessors trees descendants cool, "predecessors gave us large tracts of forest and green space, we leave behind is what? Is bare desert, or the thick forest, you must choose the dense woods. What hesitate, let us together voluntarily protect the environment, good care environment, consciously consciously afforest environment, improve our living environment, create a better future!

人类只有一个地球，它是人类赖以生存的自然资源，人们要过上幸福美好的生活，就必须自觉地保护自然环境，爱护地球。

然而，近几年来，地球的环境却越来越恶劣：全球性气候变暖，飓风、暴雨等灾害性天气频繁出现，“非典”、禽流感等传染性疾病时有发生，给人类的生活和工作带来严重威胁和许多不便。这些都是人们不断地“伤害”地球的结果。大片的森林被砍伐，碧绿的青山被挖掘，美丽的草原成荒漠，清澈的河水成浊流。树林少了，青山秃了，草原荒了，清水黑了，使人们生存的环境变坏，呼吸的空气变差，生活的环境被许多有害的东西所“侵占”，病毒就趁机钻进人们的体内，我们人类就会患上一些可怕的疾病。

前几天，我在报纸上看到这样一幅漫画：一个人坐在树梢上，正在砍他坐着的那根树枝。“哼，真好笑。”有些人可能会这么想。难道你就没有想一想，这仅仅是幅好笑的漫画吗?它不正是在讽刺我们吗?难道你就没有悟到，它在警告我们：人类在破坏环境的同时，也在不知不觉地伤害自己。

当你走在大街上，如果你想吐痰，你会怎么做呢?如果你选择了吐在地上，那么你想过没有，你在害自己吗?一口痰含有大量的病菌，当太阳着时就会繁殖、传染。同样，当你砍伐一棵树，当你挖掉一片草，当你把脏物倒进河流，难道你没有觉得这是在破坏环境，“伤害”自己吗?

俗语说得好：“前人栽树，后人乘凉”，前人给了我们大片大片的森林，绿地，我们留给后人的是什么?是光秃秃的荒漠，还是茂密的树林，你肯定选择的是茂密的树林。那还有什么犹豫的，让我们大家一起自觉保护环境，自觉爱护环境，自觉绿化环境，改善我们的生活环境，创造美好的未来!

Protection of the Environment

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 become 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.

环境保护

Nowadays, peoples life has changed a lot with the development of modern technology and economy, which has put lots of negative effects on the environment.

Why this? Because, firstly, some factories are pouring wastes into rivers, lakes, seas and so forth; secondly, because of human activities, a great number of plants and animals are losing their lives; thirdly, using modern machines and chemicals is bad for the environment. Besides these, there are a lot of human activities which have done or are doing harm to our surroundings.

For this, I think, first, our government should make drastic measures to regulate human activities; second, we human beings should take pains-taking work to stop ourselves destroying the environment and try our best to protect our living space more.

在我们这个世界中，水是人类生存必备条件，如果没有水，人类将灭亡。

以前地球上的水非常多，非常丰富，而现在地球上的人口逐渐增加，水就显的不够用了，所以我们应该节约用水。就在我们高呼要节约用水时，也还有一些人，不知道节约用水，不知道水的重要性，而在大量的去浪费地球上的水资源，去浪费我们能够生存下来的东西。所以 我们要让世界知道水的重要性。

水的重要性无庸置疑。撒哈拉大沙漠是个辽阔的干旱地区，沙漠气温很高，降雨常常来不及落到地面，就在低层大气蒸发了，这里也曾是一个美丽的地方，就是因为缺水，才变成这个样子。非洲大陆长期严重干旱，使撒哈拉沙漠每年都向南蔓延达50千米。在30年代到70年代间已吞没了651平方千米的可耕地。

现在，干旱已经波及到毛里塔尼亚、马里、尼日利亚、乍得、苏丹、埃及、埃塞俄比亚、索马里等广大地区，面积达250平方千米，据估计，这些地方由于干旱缺水已经死了3800万头牲畜。 同学们，叔叔阿姨们!请你们不再随便浪费水，乱用水，爱护我们人类的生命之源 吧。

人类只有一个地球，让我们共同生活在这个美好的家园中吧! 同学们，请你们想一想，如果这个世界没有水会怎么样?如果没有水就没有我们经常吃的美味可口的饭菜，就没有我们经常喝的各式各样的饮料，没有水人类将很快灭亡。 同学们，叔叔阿姨们!请珍惜我们现有的水源，共同保护好我们的家园，共同创建好我们家乡、国家，把我们这个家园，创建得更加美丽、强大、富饶。

Dear humans, I have to write to you because my friends are dying.The reasons are as follow.First,you damage the forests and take up too much land where we live.Second,you humans even kill the endangered animals for food,many of us have been killed over the past years.But as you all know,animals and humans are good friends.We live in Earth,relying on each other.Without animals,humans wont live long.So,humans should protect animals,that means protecting yourselves.

一天夜晚，我在长江边散步，漫步在“南京眼”这座宏伟的大桥上，正欣赏着长江美景，突然发现江岸上有一些“白色垃圾”，长江中时而也会飘来一个个垃圾，来来往往的行人那么多，而谁也没有停下脚步，去把岸边的“白色垃圾”捡走。

如今，有很多人都不注意环保，把一些垃圾随意地扔在江边，有些工厂也把剩余的化学物质和工业废水一齐排入江中，长江里的水变得不再清澈，而是非常浑浊，水里的鱼也大批大批的死去。要是人们再不注意环保，过不了几十年，长江就要变成一潭死水了。我多么想设立一个“水资源环保节”呀！

“水资源环保节”的主要活动是：政府多派一些保洁船，水上飞机去清理江面。中小学生由老师带领，去江边捡垃圾。

大家都要注意环保，把地球上仅剩的淡水资源保护起来，让江水变得更加清澈。还要在江中建立一些保护区，保护一些快要灭绝的水生动物、植物。

水是人类生存必不可少的条件之一，没有水，也就没有生命的存在，所以我们要保护水资源。

据统计地球表面的水储量大约有140亿亿立方米，但淡水资源只有3.5亿亿立方米，在这有限的淡水资源中，仅有0.34%是人类可以利用的，由于分布不平衡，生活浪费，全世界60%的地区供水不足，严重缺乏用水，情况严峻。

各种有害的物质，如农药、重金属、化学物质、致病微生物、油类以及各种废弃放射性物质……，被人为地排入水中，并超出了水本身的进化能力，于是就发生了水污染。大量的污水物排入河流，造成内陆水域污染，继而使湖泊和海湾污染，就连地下水也难逃厄运。水污染对人的健康危害极大，污水中的致病菌可引起传染病的流行。各种工业废水、农药等有毒物质排入水中，可使饮水人中毒。重金属污染的水进入人体，会使人慢性中毒等等。

因而，我们要保护水资源，防止水污染，从身边的小事做起。比如：节约用水、使用无磷的洗衣粉……。我们要大力宣传水资源的保护知识，看见破坏水资源的行为，要向有关部门举报。

保护水资源要从我做起，保护水资源就是保护人类自己。

The giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) ("black-and-white cat-foot") is a mammal classified in the bear family, Ursidae, native to central-western and southwestern China. It is easily recognized by its large, distinctive black patches around the eyes, ears and on its rotund body. Though technically a carnivore, the panda has a diet which is 98% bamboo. However, they may eat other foods such as honey, eggs, fish, and yams.

The Giant Panda is an endangered animal; an estimated 3,000 pandas live in the wild and over 180 were reported to live in captivity by August 2006 in mainland China.another source by the end of 2006 put the figure for China at 221, with twenty pandas living outside of China.citation needed] However, reports show that the numbers of wild panda are on the rise.

The giant panda has long been a favorite of the public, at least partly on account of the fact that the species has an appealing baby-like cuteness that makes it seem to resemble a living teddy bear. The fact that it is usually depicted reclining peacefully eating bamboo, as opposed to hunting, also adds to its image of innocence. Though the giant panda is often assumed docile because of their cuteness, they have been known to attack humans, usually assumed to be out of irritation rather than predatory behavior.

The Giant Panda has a very distinctive black-and-white coat. Adults measure around 1.5 m long and around 75 cm tall at the shoulder. Males can weigh up to 115 kg (253 pounds). Females are generally smaller than males, and can occasionally weigh up to 100 kg (220 pounds). Giant Pandas live in mountainous regions, such as Sichuan, Gansu, Shaanxi, and Tibet. While the Chinese dragon has been historically a national emblem for China, since the latter half of the 20th century the Giant Panda has also become an informal national emblem for China. Its image appears on a large number of modern Chinese commemorative silver, gold, and platinum coins.

The Giant Panda has an unusual paw, with a "thumb" and five fingers; the "thumb" is actually a modified sesamoid bone, which helps the panda to hold the bamboo while eating. Stephen Jay Gould wrote an essay about this, then used the title The Pandas Thumb for a book of essays concerned with evolution and intelligent design. The Giant Panda has a short tail, approximately 15 cm long. Giant Pandas can usually live to be 20-30 years old while living in captivity.

Until recently, scientists thought giant pandas spent most of their lives alone, with males and females meeting only during the breeding season. Recent studies paint a different picture, in which small groups of pandas share a large territory and sometimes meet outside the breeding season.

Like most subtropical mammals, but unlike most bears, the giant panda does not hibernate.

Pandas eating bamboo at the National Zoo in Washington, D.C.Despite its taxonomic classification as a carnivore, the panda has a diet that is primarily herbivorous, which consists almost exclusively of bamboo. This is an evolutionarily recent adaptation. Pandas lack the proper enzymes to digest bamboo efficiently, and thus derive little energy and little protein from it.

While primarily herbivorous, the panda still retains decidedly ursine teeth, and will eat meat, fish, and eggs when available. In captivity, zoos typically maintain the pandas bamboo diet, though some will provide specially formulated biscuits or other dietary supplements.

Animals Need Protecting

Animals are natural resources that people have wasted all through our history. Animals have been killed for their fur and feathers, for food, for sport, and simply because they were in the way. Thousands of kinds of animals have disappeared from the earth forever. Hundreds more are on the danger list today. About 170 kinds in the United States alone are considered in danger.

Why should people careBecause we need animals, and because once they are gone, there will never be any more. Animals are more than just beautiful or interesting. They are more than just a source of food. Every animal has its place in the balance of nature. Destroying one kind of animal can create many problems. For example, when

farmers killed large numbers of hawks, the farmers stores of corn and grain were destroyed by rats and mice. WhyBecause hawks eat rats and mice, with no hawks to keep down their numbers, the rats and mice multiplied quickly.

Luckily, some people are working to help save the animals. Some groups raise money to let people know about the problem. And they try to get the governments to pass laws protecting animals in danger. Quite a few countries have passed laws. These laws forbid the killing of any animal or plant on the danger list. Slowly, the number of some animals in danger is growing.

动物需要保护

动物是自然资源，在整个历史过程中，人类一直在糟蹋着这种资源。人们杀死动物，获得它们的皮毛，把它们当作食物或运动方式，或者只是因为它们碍事。成千上万种动物已经从这个地球上永远地消失了。现在另外上百种动物也上了濒危动物名单。仅荚国大概就有170种被认为处于危险当中。

为什么人们应该感到担忧呢因为我们需要动物，因为它们一旦消失，就永远不会再出现。动物不仅仅是漂亮或有趣。它们不仅仅是人类的食物来

源。在维持自然平衡中，每种动物都有其作用。毁灭某种动物会导致许多问题。比如，农民们如果杀死为数众多的鹰，他们谷物和粮食的仓库就会受到老鼠和田鼠的破坏。 为什么因为鹰吃鼠类，没有鹰控制它们的数量，鼠类就会迅速繁殖。

幸运的是，有些人正在努力帮助拯救这些动物。有些组织筹钱以便人们了解这一问题。他们也努力使政府通过保护濒危动物的法律。很多国家已经通过了法律。这些法律禁止杀害濒危名单上的动植物。某些濒危动物的数目正在慢慢地不断上升。

he world is not only hungry,but also thirsty for water. This may seem strange to you, since nearly 75 % of the earths surface is covered with water. But about 97% of this huge amount is sea water, or salt water. Man can only drink and use the other 3% -- the fresh water that comes from rivers, lakes,underground, and other sources. And we cannot even use all of that, because some of it is in the form of icebergs and glaciers. Even worse, some of it has been polluted.

However, as things stand today, this small amount of fresh water, which is constantly being replaced by rainfall, is still enough for us. But our need for water is increasing rapidly-- almost day by day. Only if we take steps to deal with this problem now can we avoid a severe worldwide water shortage later on. A limited water supply would have a bad effect on agriculture and industry. Let me give you just one small exampie of how necessary water is to industry. Did you know that to produce a single ton of steel, it takes about 91, 000 liters of water?

We all have to learn how to stop wasting our precious water. One of the first steps we should take is to develop ways of reusing it. Experiments have already been done in this field, but only on a small scale. For us, the systems are as important as the spacecraft.

“珍惜生命之源，节约从我做起”，“水是生命之源，我们要保护每一滴水”这两句话说得很好，如果没有了水，地球就会干裂，如果没有了水，就没了我们这个美丽的世界。我们要爱惜每一滴水，爱惜地球母亲每一滴眼泪。

人们总是认为水是“取之不尽，用之不竭”的，事实上中国的水资源十分紧缺，人均水资源只有世界平均水平的四分之一。但是在这种条件下，日常用水中还存在着相当严重的浪费现象，比如在用水的时候去开门、接电话，刷牙、洗手后不关水龙头等等，据专家分析，这种不起眼的不良习惯造成了相当大的浪费，只要改制这些不良习惯，就能节水70%左右。另外污染也造成了水资源的浪费，听说现在许多地方的河流、湖泊受到了严重的污染，使得人们生活用水受到威胁，非常可怕，我的内心久久不能平静。

为了节约用水，我制订了家庭节水计划，决心“节约水资源从我做起”，要养成随手关龙头的好习惯，不玩水，洗脸水用过后可以洗脚，然后冲厕所，提醒妈妈，洗米煮面水可以洗油碗等等。

水是生命之源，应该从珍惜一点一滴水做起，牢固树立“节约用水光荣，浪费用水可耻”的观念，时时处处注意节约用水。

The word itself, "Halloween," actually has its origins in the Catholic Church. It comes from a contracted corruption of All Hallows Eve. November 1, "All Hollows Day" (or "All Saints Day"), is a Catholic day of observance in honor of saints. But, in the 5th century BC, in Celtic Ireland, summer officially ended on October 31. The holiday was called Samhain (sow-en), the Celtic New year.

One story says that, on that day, the disembodied spirits of all those who had died throughout the preceding year would come back in search of living bodies to possess for the next year. It was believed to be their only hope for the afterlife. The Celts believed all laws of space and time were suspended during this time, allowing the spirit world to intermingle with the living.

Naturally, the still-living did not want to be possessed. So on the night of October 31, villagers would extinguish the fires in their homes, to make them cold and undesirable. They would then dress up in all manner of ghoulish costumes and noisily paraded around the neighborhood, being as destructive as possible in order to frighten away spirits looking for bodies to possess.

Probably a better explanation of why the Celts extinguished their fires was not to discourage spirit possession, but so that all the Celtic tribes could relight their fires from a common source, the Druidic fire that was kept burning in the Middle of Ireland, at Usinach.

Some accounts tell of how the Celts would burn someone at the stake who was thought to have already been possessed, as sort of a lesson to the spirits. Other accounts of Celtic history debunk these stories as myth.

The Romans adopted the Celtic practices as their own. But in the first century AD, Samhain was assimilated into celebrations of some of the other Roman traditions that took place in October, such as their day to honor Pomona, the Roman goddess of fruit and trees. The symbol of Pomona is the apple, which might explain the origin of our modern tradition of bobbing for apples on Halloween.

The thrust of the practices also changed over time to become more ritualized. As belief in spirit possession waned, the practice of dressing up like hobgoblins, ghosts, and witches took on a more ceremonial role.

The custom of Halloween was brought to America in the 1840s by Irish immigrants fleeing their countrys potato famine. At that time, the favorite pranks in New England included tipping over outhouses and unhinging fence gates.

The custom of trick-or-treating is thought to have originated not with the Irish Celts, but with a ninth-century European custom called souling. On November 2, All Souls Day, early Christians would walk from village to village begging for "soul cakes," made out of square pieces of bread with currants. The more soul cakes the beggars would receive, the more prayers they would promise to say on behalf of the dead relatives of the donors. At the time, it was believed that the dead remained in limbo for a time after death, and that prayer, even by strangers, could expedite a souls passage to heaven.

The Jack-o-lantern custom probably comes from Irish folklore. As the tale is told, a man named Jack, who was notorious as a drunkard and trickster, tricked Satan into climbing a tree. Jack then carved an image of a cross in the trees trunk, trapping the devil up the tree. Jack made a deal with the devil that, if he would never tempt him again, he would promise to let him down the tree.

According to the folk tale, after Jack died, he was denied entrance to Heaven because of his evil ways, but he was also denied access to Hell because he had tricked the devil. Instead, the devil gave him a single ember to light his way through the frigid darkness. The ember was placed inside a hollowed-out turnip to keep it glowing longer.

The Irish used turnips as their "Jacks lanterns" originally. But when the immigrants came to America, they found that pumpkins were far more plentiful than turnips. So the Jack-O-Lantern in America was a hollowed-out pumpkin, lit with an ember.

So, although some cults may have adopted Halloween as their favorite "holiday," the day itself did not grow out of evil practices. It grew out of the rituals of Celts celebrating a new year, and out of Medieval prayer rituals of Europeans. And today, even many churches have Halloween parties or pumpkin carving events for the kids. After all, the day itself is only as evil as one cares to make it.

​导语：动物是自然资源，在整个历史过程中，人类一直在糟蹋着这种资源。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!

Animals are natural resources that people have wasted all through our history. Animals have been killed for their fur and feathers, for food, for sport, and simply because they were in the way. Thousands of kinds of animals have disappeared from the earth forever. Hundreds more are on the danger list today. About 170 kinds in the United States alone are considered in danger.

Why should people care? Because we need animals, and because once they are gone, there will never be any more.Animals are more than just beautiful or interesting. They are more than just a source of food. Every animal has its place in the balance of nature. Destroying one kind of animal can create many problems. For example, when farmers killed large numbers of hawks, the farmers stores of corn and grain were destroyed by rats and mice. Why? Because hawks eat rats and mice, with no hawks to keep down their numbers, the rats and mice multiplied quickly.

Luckily, some people are working to help save the animals. Some groups raise money to let people know about the problem. And they try to get the governments to pass laws protecting animals in danger. Quite a few countries have passed laws. These laws forbid the killing of any animal or planton the danger list. Slowly, the number of some animals in danger is growing.

动物需要人类的保护

动物是自然资源，在整个历史过程中，人类一直在糟蹋着这种资源。人们杀死动物 ，获得它们的皮毛，把它们当作食物或运动方式，或者只是因为它们碍事。成千上万种动物 已经从这个地球上永远地消失了。现在另外上百种动物 也上了濒危动物 名单。仅荚国大概就有170种被认为处于危险当中。

为什么人们应该感到担忧呢?因为我们需要动物 ，因为它们一旦消失，就永远不会再出现。动物 不仅仅是漂亮或有趣。它们不仅仅是人类的食物来源。在维持自然平衡中，每种动物 都有其作用。毁灭某种动物 会导致许多问题。比如，农民们如果杀死为数众多的鹰，他们谷物和粮食的仓库就会受到老鼠和田鼠的破坏。 为什么?因为鹰吃鼠类，没有鹰控制它们的数量，鼠类就会迅速繁殖。

幸运的是，有些人正在努力帮助拯救这些动物 。有些组织筹钱以便人们了解这一问题。他们也努力使政府通过保护 濒危动物 的法律。很多国家已经通过了法律。这些法律禁止杀害濒危名单上的动植物。某些濒危动物 的数目正在慢慢地不断上升。
