我们要保护野生动物、爱护树木……

We should protect the wild anil, love trees...

今天，我正在里院子和娇娇、苗苗玩吊床，突然，一阵冷风扑面而来，把我们三个冻得直哆嗦，回头一看，一棵新载的小树苗被风给吹歪了，我跑过去一看，小树苗幸亏没死，这时候苗苗和娇娇过来了，苗苗拽着我的手说：“赶紧玩吊床吧!”娇娇说：“人家正在把小树苗扶起来。”苗苗拽着我的手把我拉到吊床上，娇娇往小树苗这面拽。我就说：“我把小树苗扶起来在玩吊床吧”，大家都同意了。于是我们把小树苗重新栽了起来。

Today, I was in the yard, Miao Miao and Jiao Jiao play a haock, suddenly, a gust of wind blowing, the three of us shivered, a look back, a new set of saplings is blown askew, I went over to look, but not dead saplings, while Miao Miao and Jiao Jiao here, Miao Miao grabbed hand and said: "to play a haock!" Jiao Jiao said: "people are sll trees up." Miao Miao grabbed hand and pulled into the haock, Jiao Jiao to the pull saplings. I said: "I put the young trees in the haock, play up", you agree. Then we put the young trees to plant.

干完之后，我们才高高兴兴的去玩吊床去了。保护环境，人人有责。

After the job, were happy to play to the haock. Protect environnt, everyones responsibility.

低碳生活，对于我们普通人来说，是一种态度，而不是能力，我们应该积极提倡并去实践低碳生活，注意节电、节油、节气，从点滴做起。首先，低碳的生活方式，就是在生活的细节上注重节能减耗。 记得有一次吃饭，爸爸将客厅里的电视、电灯都开着，我看了连忙将电视、电灯都关了。爸爸疑惑的问：“你这是干什么？”于是，我告诉爸爸：“现在全世界都越来越关注地球变暖、冰川融化、海平面上升、物种灭绝等，电灯、电脑、空调、电视……

任何电器一旦不用了，就随手关掉。我们一定要做到环保，因为这样即可以节约电，还能环保。”听了我的话后，爸爸突然间彻底醒悟了点了点头说：“是啊，是啊，看来我还是女儿懂啊！”顿时，我不好意思地笑了笑。如果整个社会是大海，每个人就是一滴水，大海的污染，影响着每一滴水，也需要每一滴水努力帮助净化污染。美国总统肯尼迪说过：“不要问国家能为我们做些什么，先要问自己能为国家做些什么。”低碳生活需要人人参与！同学们，让我们行动起来，积极创造低碳生活！其实做到节能，创造低碳生活很简单。其实，低碳并不遥远，只要多注意生活中的一些细节，就可以起到降低能耗的作用。倡议开展低碳生活，从节约一度电、一滴水、一升油、一张纸开始，实现全民行动，人人出力。低碳生活不仅是一种时尚，也是利于我们子孙后代的的大事，与我们的健康信息相关。

对于人类来讲，降低碳排放、减少肉食、减少畜牧业，是非常直接又简单的方法。低碳生活，即利身体，又利环保，何乐而不为呢？作为一名学生，我们要积极加入低碳生活，号召更多的人们行动起来。每一个人的一小步，将是社会向前迈进的一大步。为了那一片蓝天永远保持蔚蓝，为了使大自然的森林永远郁郁葱葱，为了碧波荡漾的河水永远明净，为了下一代拥有的地球永远美丽，行动吧！ 同学们，我们离不开赖以生存的地球，共同的命运把我们联系在一起，大自然叔叔多么盼望它能回到家园，地球母亲把重任托付在人类的身上，因为只有我们才能挽回地球和人类的幸福：让绿色不再叹息，大自然不再哭泣，让地球母亲的伤痕消失，让明天的地球更加美丽、坚强、可爱！重视一颗树的命运 重视一棵树的命运，不知有多少人能够认同这个观点。 我们不妨先作个假设：如果设一个“森林法庭”，我们每个人都会成为被告。通过陈述实录，就可以作出明确的判断——比如，在成片的大面积林区发生山火，至少要达到“亩”的数量才能称为灾。

即使像1987年大兴安岭森林大火那样的灾害，人们虽然给它定性为“特大”，但烧死了多少树，谁也数不清。在这里，树作为生命被“草菅”了。多数人以为原始森林，是祖先留下的，烧掉太可惜了，而发出的也只是感叹。自然保护区或西部干旱地区，砍伐或毁烧了树木，是要以棵为单位来计算的，因为这些地方的树木太珍贵了。有山没树是很荒凉的，人们渴望有树。在内蒙古赤峰地区，树是政府和老百姓的“眼睛”。最典型的事例是，砍掉一棵树也要惊动当地政府官员，山上一冒烟，不管烧没烧着树，市长都会出动。道理很简单，生活在沙窝子里，几十年几代人种树，在树的身上他们投入了太多的血汗，也收到了显而易见的成效。

人们看重树，也依赖着树。“案情”已经相当明了：“家大业大”，手就会松一点，“小门小户” 就要精打细算，要是“贫困户”更不敢轻易动血本了。

绿色就是大自然，生机勃勃的体现，绿色代表着生命健康和希望。如此生机的岛我们怎狠心破坏它呢?

现在，绿油油的小草，高大茂盛的树木，红艳艳的花儿，蓝蓝的天空，它们都不再轻易的出现，取而代之的是那一株株落满灰尘的小草，孤零零的树木，奄奄一息的花儿，灰蒙蒙的天空，污浊的空气。

如果这样下去的话，会对我们的身体产生极大的伤害。

保护环境，就要从小事做起，从我做起，为了能让空气清新一点，我上学，放学坚持步行，或骑自行车。少用塑料袋，可以用环保的布袋，为了能让环境干净一点，我把垃圾分类，不随地乱扔垃圾。为了保护水资源，我节约用水，为了保护树木，我不用一次性筷子，节约用纸，多植树，多种花，不对树木乱砍乱伐。虽然我一个人的力量不会引起多大的作用，但我相信，如果大家一起来保护环境，一定会使我们的空气清新许多，让环境干净许多，让水资源清澈许多，让树木美丽许多。

绿色环保，低碳生活，其实离我们并不遥远，只要我们能为环保贡献一份力量，在不久的将来，我们的地球一定会焕发出光彩。

The summer vacation had come round again。 I was happy that I could forget about school at least for a while。 Lest I fool around all through this summer vacation， I made a plan as to how to spend it。 First， I thought I should go over all those things my teachers taught in the previous term so that I could have a better understanding of them。 Then I thought I should take up some forms of exercise， such as walking， running rowing， to keep me physically strong。 It stood to reason that with such a good plan I should make the best of my vacation time。 I did， because I lived up to what I had planned。

People’s whole life is not too long or too short. They have experienced

many things in their life journey, such as, success, fail, happy, sad, and

excited and so on. What about dreams? Some people think that they have so many

things to deal with in the limit time. How can they spend time for dream? It is

a waste of time. However, some people regard dreams are as important as their

life. People can’t live without dream. In my opinion, I agree with the latter

idea.

First of all, dreams provide life motivation for human beings. If a person

has a dream, he will try his best to take every chance to reach it. Even though

he will meet many difficulties on the way, even has to give up, but he will

renerve in the end. It is because he has dreams, and he has the desire to see

the day his dream come true. So no matter what obstacle he meets, he has the

motivation to overcome. This is the power of dreams.

In addition, life without dreams is meaningless. We often see that when

someone talks about his dream, his face is full of smile. It is because dreams

give him hope and fun. No matter the dream is easy to make it or not, when the

people think of it, they will have the beautiful vision to fight for. But if a

person who don’t have a dream, he would not know what he should do and can do.

His life is confused and meaningless.

In a word, dreams look like the lighthouse in the ocean. It gives people

motivation and the meaning of their journey. It is so significant that everyone

needs dreams.

We have enjoyable classes in the school.we would also have many kinds of

extra-curricular activities.We could go skating and swimming and join other

popular sports with teachers.Every year we would go camping with our classmates

at least twice.Students could help each other either in study or daily

life.Sometimes,when we were having a big problem and could not solve it by

ourselves,we would go to find our teachers.Teachers would listen to us patiently

and help us to solve the problem.The school should have a big garden so we can

plant flowers and take care of them.

环保，是地球人必须做的事，是保护地球的唯一的方法。要保护地球，其实很简单，我们可以从一个“分类”开始。

垃圾可以分类成很多种，例如:不可回收和可回收，可回收还以可分成纸类、铝罐类、玻璃、铝箔包....等许多各种不同的种类。铝罐类的回收最好将罐子 踩扁再回收，而铝箔包应该要将上包装剪开，洗干净后再回收，这样不但可以减少垃圾量还可以减轻清洁人员分类的时间，一举两得！

所谓的“回收”就可以拿回来再利用。例如有一次，我和妈妈把不用的纸箱拿去放我的那堆丢在一旁乱七八糟的书本，让书本们变得干净许多，不但可以变成书 架，我的书本也不再乱七八糟了，纸箱回收再利用，真是一举两得啊！有一些人是将不要的纸类加工后再制成回收纸，不但环保还可以减轻地球的负担呢！

“举手之劳做环保，废物个个都是宝”，相信只要你我用心，运用一点巧思，资源回收的物品都还可再利用，有一次老师教我们利用酸奶罐来制作酸奶笛， 我们准备酸奶的空瓶、朔胶水管、气球，利用这些回收的用具，并且配合“振动”的特性，于是做成了独一无二的环保酸奶笛，真的很有趣。

相信只要你我用心，地球就可以变得更开心喔！让我们一起来当个环保小尖兵吧！

步入初中，认识了许多同学和老师。我有很多个老师，每个老师各自的性格特点也不同，比如数学老师，喜欢执着;历史老师，和蔼可亲……

但是在这些老师中，我最喜欢英语老师。他有火一样蓬勃的头发，表示出他那活泼的性格;他有一张爱笑的脸，散露出他诙谐幽默的心态;深邃的眼睛略带蓝色，有一种不能不让人笑的感觉，整个描写出他活泼幽默的性格。

一次上课，英语老师一边上网查歌，一边叫我们读单词。过了一会儿，单词读完了歌也下完了。老师就打开歌词，打开千千静听放歌。老师说：“我们来唱首歌吧!叫Bingo!”说完，老师用手拿起指挥棒，走了下来，一边指挥着我们，一边唱歌。大家都非常感兴趣，尤其是唱到“B——i——n——g——o!”的时候，老师唱得非常大声，脸上洋溢着笑容，手摇来摇去，嘴巴成“O”形，身体倾斜着。我们看到这幅情景，笑得前仰后俯的。歌唱完了，老师不慌不忙地说：“现在我们来做一个小游戏吧!首先，先抄好25个单词，之后我再念单词，念到你写的那个单词你就画一下，当你连续画了五个并排单词时，你就喊‘Bingo’!有奖励加分的哦!懂不懂?”之后，我们兴致勃勃地抄好了单词，等待着老师来报。英语老师故意地清清嗓子，提醒我们快开始了，要做好准备。可是我们却被老师这个动作搞得哈哈大笑起来……

随着第一个单词的开始，大家都在认真地画单词。20秒钟过后，教室里突然响起一声“Bingo”，刚要下讲台的老师的脚步停在了半空中，眼睛瞪得大大的，吃惊地望着那位喊“Bingo”的同学，愣了几秒才说话：“哇，你也太幸运了吧，我才报了5个，你一下子就Bingo了，太牛了吧!加分!”之后一个个Bingo声响起了，可把英语老师围地团团转的。英语老师说：“怎么这么多呀!我都快忙不过来了!”“铃铃铃”下课了，我笑嘻嘻地对老师说：“老师，您这下可以轻松轻松了啊!”老师听了，哈哈地笑了。

哈哈，这就是我们幽默活泼的英语老师了，怎么样，羡慕不?

从浩瀚太空，遥望地球，地球就像一个白里透蓝的玻璃球。蔚蓝的海洋，褐色的陆地，绿色的森林、草原，银线般闪闪发亮的河流，朵朵的云漂浮在上空，流出一幅幅清丽而柔和的画卷。地球的美丽而柔和的画倦，地球是美丽的星球，地球的美丽并不是仅仅在于它拥有这份罕见的蓝色，更在于它用几十年亿年的时间孕育了绿色的生命，地球迄今为止。地球是我们发现唯一拥有生命的星球，地球因生命而孤独，地球也因生命而美丽。

然而，随着现代人类科学技术和经济的空前发展地球——我们赖以生存的家园，也在人类征服和改造自然环境的过程中，遭受到了空前的戕害，漫漫黄沙代替了莽莽林海，曾经孕育灿烂古文化的江河经常变成干涸的河床，原本瑰丽的风景湮没为荒野，还有地下水位下降，气候变暖，冰川融化，大气污染，臭氧层空洞，破坏性风暴增增多，海平面升高，生物种类锐减……在长期掠夺资源后，地球其及居民好像进入一个高风险的地区，在危险的地方，全球性变暖，气候和土壤、河流及海洋的污染处处威胁着人们，水和森林等自然资源的生存还不以说明问题吗？大量的垃圾在不断产生，环境日益恶化的警钟早已敲响了，但是，对于环境恶化进程的遏止仍显得过于无力，尽管大自然已向人类亮起红灯。

人类赖以生存的地球是一个自然、社会、经济、文化等多因素构成的复合系统，地球不仅属于我们人类，相反，我们人类属于地球，我们人类和其他生物都在一个家园中，但是，近2000年来，地球上有106种哺乳动物和127种鸟类灭绝，濒临灭绝的哺乳动物就有406种，鸟类593种，爬行动物209种，鱼类242种，天呀！这是一个多么令人吃惊的数目。

绿色的地球是我们人类不息载体只有人与自然协调发展，才能共同拥有美好的明天。如果人类真的自觉去植树造林，保护环境，那就不会有植树节，世界环境保护环境日，世界禁烟日等等节日，这些都告诫我们要保护环境，古言说得好：“地力之生物有大数，人力之成物有大限，取之有度，用之有节。则常足，取之无度，用之无节，则常不足。”但是几百年后的现代文明却使我们绿色的星球日渐披黄蒙黑，黯然失色。

来吧，让我们一起来保护我们这个美丽而脆弱的地球吧！因为，只有人类的心灵才能够知足这份美丽，善待地球——人类唯一的星球，我们别无选择。

mooncakes are to mid-autumn festival what mince pies are to christmas. the seasonal round cakes traditionally have a sweet filling of lotus seed paste or red bean paste and often have one or more salted duck eggs in the center to represent the moon. and the moon is what this celebration is all about. mid-autumn festival falls on the 15th day of the 8th month，it is the time when the moon is said to be at its brightest and fullest.

there are two legends which claim to explain the tradition of eating mooncakes. one tang dynasty myth holds that the earth once had 10 suns circling it. one day all 10 suns appeared at once，scorching the planet with their heat. it was thanks to a skillful archer named hou yi that the earth was saved. he shot down all but one of the suns. as his reward，the heavenly queen mother gave hou yi the elixir of immortality，but she warned him that he must use it wisely. hou yi ignored her advice and，corrupted by fame and fortune，became a tyrannical leader. chang-er，his beautiful wife， could no longer stand by and watch him abuse his power so she stole his elixir and fled to the moon to escape his angry wrath. and thus began the legend of the beautiful woman in the moon，the moon fairy.

the second legend has it that during the yuan dynasty，an underground group led by zhu yuan zang was determined to rid the country of mongolian dominance. the moon cake was created to carry a secret message. when the cake was opened and the message read，an uprising was unleashed which successfully routed the mongolians. it happened at the time of the full moon，which，some say，explains why mooncakes are eaten at this time. mooncakes are usually stamped with chinese characters indicating the name of the **ry and the type of filling used. some **ries will even stamp them with your family name so that you can give personalised ones to friends and family. they are usually presented in boxes of four which indicate the four phases of the moon. traditional mooncakes are made with melted lard，but today vegetable oil is more often used in the interests of health. mooncakes are not for the diet-conscious as they are loaded with calories. the best way to wash down one of these sticky cakes is with a cup of chinese tea，especially jasmine or chrysanthemum tea，which aids the digestion.

中秋节吃月饼就像西方人圣诞节吃百果馅饼一样，是必不可少的。圆圆的月饼中通常包有香甜的莲子馅或是红豆馅，馅的中央还会加上一个金黄的咸鸭蛋黄来代表月亮。而月亮正是中秋节庆祝的主题。每年农历8月15日人们一起庆祝中秋，据说这一天的月亮是一年中最亮最圆的。

关于吃月饼这个传统的来历有两个传说。一个是唐朝的神话故事，说的是当时地球被10个太阳包围着。有一天10个太阳同时出现在天空中，巨大的热量几乎把地球烤焦了。多亏一位名叫后羿的神箭手射下了9个太阳，地球才被保祝为了奖励后羿，王母娘娘赐给后羿一种长生不老药，但是王母警告他必须正当使用。然而后羿没有理会王母娘娘的警告，他被名利冲昏了头脑，变成了一个暴君。后羿美丽的妻子嫦娥对他的暴行再也不能袖手旁观，于是她偷走了后羿的长生不老药，飞到月亮上逃避后羿的狂怒。从此就有了关于月宫仙子嫦娥，这个月亮上的美丽女人的传说。

第二个传说讲的是在元朝，朱元璋领导的起义军计划起义来摆脱蒙古族的统治。他们用月饼来传递密信。掰开月饼就可以找到里面的密信，起义军通过这种方式成功的发动了起义，赶走了元朝的统治者。这场起义发生在八月十五之时，于是中秋节吃月饼的习俗便在民间传开来。
