高二半期考试英语作文(精品20篇)

星期一的上午，英语老师捧着一叠试卷走进了教室，说：“今天考试。”“大学霸”们都说：“切！不就是考试嘛！小菜一碟！”而学习不太好的同学丧气地说道：“怎么又是考试。”我心里偷偷乐道：哈哈！真是天助我也！昨晚做完作业，妈妈正好叫我做了一份英语试卷。

开考了。哈！题目竟然和我昨天碗上做的题目几乎一样。考试中我非常顺利。突然，一道题把我“拦”住了，我的心里像揣着小兔子似的，七上八下。我嘴中嘀咕道：“这题好像老师重点讲过的，万一错了就是5分呀！不行，我得快点想起来！”终于，我想到了答案！我笔走如飞，很快完成了这张试卷。可我还是生怕那道题错了，一个字母都不放过地认真检查。

第三节课，考试结果出来了。老师开始报分数了：“奔雨欣99分，张娜98。5分……”怎么还没报到我的名字？我心想：完蛋了，我一定考得很差！这时一句话让我心中的石头落地了：“其余没报的名字的四个人都是100分！”

一放学，我就冲向妈妈的怀抱，大声地说：“妈妈，我考了100分！”妈妈摸了摸我的头说：“今天妈妈带你去看电影！”

Direction: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on the topic Choosing an Occupation. You should write at least 150 words following the outline given below in Chinese:

1.职业的选择很重要

2. 如何明智的选择自己的职业

3. 你的职业选择。

作文范文

Every individual faces the problem of choosing an occupation after graduating from university, which is of great importance in ones whole life. An appropriate occupation makes a man work with vigor and zest. Besides, it is beneficial for both the individual and the country。

To make an advisable choice, a graduate should take into account at least two aspects, namely, individual interest and the demand of the society. Only when the two aspects are connected, can a man show his ability and talent to the best advantage. If the two factors conflict, the former, in most cases, should give way to the latter, for it is interests that stimulate ones vigor and potentials。

In regard to my choice in the future, I want to work as an interpreter. I am keen on learning foreign languages, English in particular. Moreover, in the contemporary society, international exchange in economy and culture has been growing significantly. However, competent interpreters are far from enough. So I am determined to be a qualified interpreter。

[大学英语四级考试预测作文职业选择

外面传来摩托车的油门声。先是十几米开外的弯道处传来熟悉的轰鸣声，后是换挡，减速的噗噗声。

不用猜测，不用犹豫，我立刻放下作业去开门。

“爸——”

我站在一楼的台阶上，冲那还未驶来的车上的他叫着。

他像往常一样，两脚从脚踏板上伸下来，把腿上的力聚在脚尖上，点着两边的地，在凹凸不平，碎石杂乱的泥地上尽量保持着平衡，在积满雨水的水坑旁稍稍拐了个弯儿，缓缓地将车停在屋檐下。下车后，他顺手将搭在柴堆上的一张旧雨衣拿下来盖在车上，小心地用木柴压着。拎着一个装满卷尺之类的建筑工具的肥料袋，慢慢走向屋。

没有什么言语，他只是和我对视了一会儿。没有笑容，不过眉头很顺，额上黄皱皱的纹路似乎被汗水润开了些。步伐有些蹒跚，很轻，但迈出去时却有一种说不出的稳。

我随父亲慢慢走进屋，找了把椅子坐着。父亲坐在对面，背靠着椅子，把头略微仰起，闭上眼，是要小憩一会儿。

秋日的风从窗户吹进，有些凉意。父亲脸上汗滴不停地冒，来不及流下就串成了一波波涟漪，在明亮的灯光下抖动着。他把腿伸长舒展一些，让姿势更加舒适。裤子上沾着不少灰尘，有星星点点混凝土的残渣，膝盖处还有两个刚磨破的小洞。父亲一向是很爱惜衣物的，那一条裤子已经历过三个秋天的寒噤。

灯光下，他那乱蓬蓬的头发总会被弟弟说成是山野中的野鸡窝。几根钻出来的白发，也像山里架起的通信塔那样显而易见。

我放下书，轻轻走到父亲身后，仿着按摩师的手法在父亲背上捶着。那脊梁骨像是一道峡谷，深深凹陷了进去。他背上的骨头在我手下是那么清晰那么坚硬。低头时，见着那夏日颈上的黝黑被秋日的凉风抹淡，然后留下了黄色皮肤中的点点伤痕。父亲没有动，很沉默，静静的空气中，只有他那粗重的呼吸声。

母亲擀了一些饺子皮，端着一小盆饺子馅儿坐在我们对面。不经意间，她抬头，望着父亲，眼角弯起，笑纹在脸上散开。那笑，像清风抖动树叶离枝，淡淡的，却意味深长。

我没有见着坐在怀前父亲的面容是怎样的，不过似乎也知晓。父亲面向母亲，在背后的视角中，他的下颚微微动了，动得很慢，很轻。如果你见过夜半展开的樱花，就应有同感，那动作慢得令人舒心，亲切而又新奇。

我向来喜欢一个人在清晨爬上西边的山顶，坐在熟悉的石板上，静静等待那颗金色的火球如梦般升起。云雾淡淡地装点它，不强烈，不刺眼，让你可以那么认真的感受它的柔和热。而父亲，大概是那时的太阳，离得远，却真切，描得淡，却浓厚……

Nowadays, electronic music is very popular around the world. First

electronic music got popular from Lady Gaga, her creative dressing styles caught

peoples attention and then people started to notice her music. They fell in

love with her electronic music. Unlike rock and roll music, electronic music is

more favorable by me. It makes me excited and I am totally lost in the wonderful

music. Once my friends and I went to a music festival. There were so many people

standing there and listening to the music. Especially when the DJ came out and

everybody got excited. When the DJ played electronic music, my friends and I

shook our bodies and joined the crowd to dance. It was such a wonderful

experience for me. I will never forget the power of electronic music. It brings

people together and share the same emotion.

今天是一个大热天，也是我英语培训班的最后一天，今天我们要进行一场关于音标的最终考试。

奶奶带着我向学校走去，地上很烫，还冒着热气。可一到教室，一瞬间就凉快了许多。我找了一个坐位坐了下来，整理好东西，上交作业，开始复习。所谓复习其实就是想到啥看啥，只不过是把书摊在桌上，然后翻过来覆过去，如同看杂志一样随意。

马上上课了，也就代表考试开始了。第一题，听写48个国际音标，可以说是最难的一题，不仅要按照顺序来写，还要写正确，而且分类也要正确，更何况好多音标的发音，乍一听就像是一样。不过“好心”的老师，给了我们再听一遍这48个音标的机会，我也总算写出了这些音标。

但好戏还在后头呢，可谓关键“人物”总是最后关头才出场，这可不是关键人物吗？给我们扣分的关键人物啊。第二题是看单词写音标，还是有些难度的，主要还是因为掌握得还不够稳固。

“还有15分钟。”老师说道。大家一听，啥？只剩15分钟啦。我赶忙奋笔疾书，把没做完的题赶紧做完。没多久，老师便说：“考试结束，所有人把卷子交上来。”大家又是开心又是着急，开心是因为考完试老师答应我们看一会儿电视，着急是一些没做完的人估计分数就不怎么好看了。

我们在教室里边看电视边等老师，过了大约半个多小时，老师总算把试卷批好了。她走进教室，将试卷发给我们，许多同学都不敢相信这是自己做出来的试卷，而我也只得了86。5分，可我没有想到的是，我竟然是全班第一。哎！我真想不通这么低的分数，居然能得全班第一。没啥好得意的，还得多花时间学音标。

期中考试已经从我的笔尖中，溜走了。我整日浸泡在尘世里，无所事事。

我独自一人走在回家的宽马路上，静静的想着英语那见不得人的成绩，月亮露出了半边脸，月儿弯弯地好似在嘲笑我的英语成绩，不时吹来一阵寒风，冷冷地，自不禁收拢了衣服。任马路上一辆辆车从我身边飞驰而过，路上的尘埃被一辆辆飞驰而过的车带起。而尘埃中的石砂蹦了起来，如清泉迸出石缝一般，刺到了我的脸颊。打在脸旁然而痛则心。

回到了家，偶然发现餐桌上有一盘青椒炒鸡蛋，我立马想到了我课上写得作文，因得分较高，得到了老师的好评，我回家兴奋地告诉了父母。于是，第二日，餐桌上就有了一道青椒炒鸡蛋。我感动着，同时愧疚着。感动的是父母吧我的生活放在他们的心上，然而，愧疚的是我的英语考这么差，完全没理由来享用这一道美味地青椒炒鸡蛋。

爸爸在一旁盯着我，觉得奇怪，因为按我的性格，一回家就拿起筷子，在菜上舞动着。爸爸看出了有心事的我，便问我有何事，我回避着。又试图跑向阳台，可是，脚步却沉重了起来，不听我使唤。爸爸看出了我的心，知道一定是考试没。于是，爸爸用平淡的语气说了一句“失败乃是成功之母，如果你有心，一定可以学好！”。

虽然语气平淡，但却有一种不可抗拒的力量一直在责备着我。

这一次的责备使我的心灵上有那么多痛苦，痛苦……

现在我做在椅子上，左手边一杯水，右手一支笔，不停地写出了这个故事。想着那一种不可抗拒的力量，只觉得压力大，其实呢？

……

看看这一篇作文，在嗅嗅青椒炒鸡蛋的味，压力瞬间化无了，反而成为了力量，为学习而奋斗着，为自己而学习着。

My Experience In Examination

In my opinion, examinations are one of the important activities in school life. I have gone through all sorts of examinations since my primary school. I have tasted the flavor of happiness and sadness.

Before examinations I always have a hard time and don＇t know what to do.During examinations I feel nervous and sometimes my mind becomes blank Only after examinations does the world seem to be bright again and am I brimming with vigor. We often complain that our teachers make trouble for us on purpose. But it is not true. The fact is that examinations are just a way to-help us do better in our study.

[高中英语的作文：我的考试经验

With big eyes， there is an emergency ears like flying up to now。 You guess what？ Let me guess， is the rabbit。

A rabbits eyes like ruby， of course， I also gave a name to my rabbit called ruby。 Because the rabbit eyes glistened like ruby。

Remember once， my mother took me to go for a walk， I bring my ruby went to the park。 Ruby remembered it home for many years， because of the ruby grew up in the park， but his mom and dad have vanished into thin air， I also know that the rabbit is very poor， but I also didnt find its relatives。 The rabbit ears soon ran off， may be sad， I had to chase her for a long time。

This is my favorite little animals。 Smart， lovely ruby。

眼睛大大的，有紧急情况耳朵像飞的一样竖起来了。大家猜猜是什么？猜不到吧，就是兔子。

兔子的眼睛像红宝石一样，当然，我也给我的兔子起了一个名字叫红宝石。因为兔子的眼睛像红宝石一样亮晶晶的。

记得有一次，妈妈带我去散步，我带着我的红宝石来到了公园。红宝石想起了它多年的家，由于红宝石是在公园里长大的，但是他的爸爸妈妈却消失得无影无踪，我也知道兔子很可怜，但是我也没有找到它的亲人。兔子很快就竖起耳朵跑了起来，可能是伤心了，我追了很久才追到。

这就是我最喜欢的小动物。聪明、可爱的红宝石。

i never considered myself unique, but people are constantly telling me, "you are a miracle." to me, i was just an ordinary "guy" with realistic goals and big dreams. i was a 19-year-old student at the university of texas and well on my way toward fulfilling my "big dream" of one day becoming an orthopedic surgeon.

我从未觉得自己与众不同，但人们常对我说：“你的生命是个奇迹。”对我而言，我只是一个普通人，有着现实的目标和远大的理想。我曾是德克萨斯大学一名十九岁的大学生，在通向理想之路上信步前行，梦想有一天我会成为一名整形外科医生。

on the night of february 17, 1981 i was studying for an organic chemistry test at the library with sharon, my girlfriend of three years. sharon had asked me to drive her back to her dormitory as it was getting quite late. we got into my car, not realizing that just getting into a car would never quite be the same for me again. i quickly noticed that my gas gauge was registered on empty so i pulled into a nearby convenience store to buy 2.00 worth of gas. "ill be back in two minutes," i yelled at sharon as i closed the door. but instead, those two minutes changed my life forever.

1981年2月17日的晚上，我和交往三年的女友沙伦在为有机化学测试做准备。因为太晚了，沙伦叫我驾车把她送回宿舍。我们钻进汽车，谁能想到在今后的生命中我不能再如此矫健地重复这样一个简单的动作。我很快发现油表空了，于是我把车泊在附近的一家便利店旁，想买两块钱的汽油。“我两分钟就回来，”我关上车门朝沙伦喊到。但就是这短短的两分钟改变了我一生的命运，永远地改变了。

entering the convenience store was like entering the twilight zone. on the outside i was a healthy, athletic, pre-med student, but on the inside i was just another statistic of a violent crime. i thought i was entering an empty store, but suddenly i realized it was not empty at all. three robbers were in the process of committing a robbery and my entrance into the store caught them by surprise. one of the criminals immediately shoved a .38 caliber handgun to my head, ordered me to the cooler, pushed me down on the floor, and pumped a bullet into the back of my head -- execution style. he obviously thought i was dead because he did not shoot me again. the trio of thieves finished robbing the store and left calmly.

进入这家便利店就如同踏上了阴阳间的奈何桥，门外的我还是个健康的，活蹦乱跳的未婚大学生，而门内的我却成了暴力犯罪的又一个牺牲品。我还以为店里没有人，但我突然发现我错了——有三个匪徒正在打劫这家店，而我的进入让他们有些惊慌失措。其中一个匪徒迅速掏出一把口径为38毫米的手枪用力指着我的头，勒令我走到冷冻机旁，然后把我推倒在地，像执行死刑般从后面朝我头部开了一枪。他没再朝我开第二枪，显然他以为我死了。打劫完后三个劫匪逃之夭夭。

meanwhile, sharon wondered why i had not returned. after seeing the three men leave the store she really began to worry as i was the last person she saw entering the store. she quickly went inside to look for me, but saw no one-only an almost empty cash register containing one check and several pennies. quickly she ran down each aisle shouting, "mike, mike!"

与此同时，沙伦对我的不归忧心忡忡。看到这三个匪徒离开便利店后她真的很担心，因为我是她见到的最后一个进入店里的人。她赶快跑进店来找我，只见几乎被一扫而空的收银机上挂着一张帐单，还有几枚硬币散落在上面，四周无人。她在货架间飞快地跑着、喊着：“迈克，迈克!”

just then the attendant appeared from the back of the store shouting, "lady, get down on the floor. ive just been robbed and shot at!"

这时一名服务员从店后面走出来叫到：“小姐，过来一下，我刚才被打劫了，他们还向我开了枪。”

sharon quickly dropped to the floor screaming, "have you seen my boyfriend? he has auburn hair." the man did not reply but went back to the cooler where he found me choking on my vomit. the attendant quickly cleaned my mouth and then called for the police and an ambulance.

沙伦跌跌撞撞地过来哭喊到：“你见到我的男朋友了吗?长褐色头发的。” 那人默默走到冷冻机旁，找到了我，此时呕吐快令到我窒息了。他赶忙帮我擦干了嘴，叫了警察和救护车。

sharon was in shock. she was beginning to understand that i was hurt, but she could not begin to comprehend or imagine the severity of my injury.

沙伦被吓坏了。渐渐地她才明白我受伤了，但是她根本想象不到伤势的严重性。

when the police arrived they immediately called the homicide division as they did not think i would survive and the paramedic reported that she had never seen a person so severely wounded survive. at 1:30 a.m. my parents who lived in houston, were awakened by a telephone call from brackenridge hospital advising them to come to austin as soon as possible for they feared i would not make it through the night.

警察来了，他们很快断定是杀人案，因为没人相信我还能活过来，而救护人员说她从来没有见过伤势如此严重的人可以逃离死劫。下午一点半，我住在奥斯汀的父母被来自布莱肯瑞吉医院的电话铃惊醒，医院通知他们尽快赶到奥斯汀，因为他们认为我熬不过当晚了。

but i did make it through the night and early in the morning the neurosurgeon decided to operate. however, he quickly informed my family and sharon that my chances of surviving the surgery were only 40/60. if this were not bad enough, the neurosurgeon further shocked my family by telling them what life would be like for me if i beat the odds and survived. he said i probably would never walk, talk, or be able to understand even simple commands.

但那晚我挺了过来，第二天清晨神经外科医生决定给我动手术。但他立即告知我的家人和沙伦我存活的机会只有百分之四十。然后他还雪上加霜地告诉我的家人，向他们描述如果我万幸活下来将面临怎样的生活——我可能再也不会走路了，不会说话了，甚至不能理解一些极其简单的命令。这些对我的家人来说都是莫大的打击。

my family was hoping and praying to hear even the slightest bit of encouragement from that doctor. instead, his pessimistic words gave my family no reason to believe that i would ever again be a productive member of society. but once again i beat the odds and survived the three and a half hours of surgery. granted, i still could not talk, my entire right side was paralyzed and many people thought i could not understand, but at least i was stable. after one week in a private room the doctors felt i had improved enough to be transferred by jet ambulance to del oro rehabilitation hospital in houston.

本来家里人祈望能从医生的口中听到一点点鼓励的话，而他悲观的言语让他们没理由相信我还会成为一个对社会有用的人。在经历了三个半小时的手术之后，我再次侥幸地活了下来。医生的话得到了应验，我不能说话，整个右边的身体瘫痪了，许多人认为我变傻了，但至少我身体状况是稳定的。在私人看护病房里呆了一个星期后，医生觉得我已经好转了许多，并可以坐救护飞机转到奥斯汀的德欧洛康复医院。

my hallucinations, coupled with my physical problems, made my prognosis still very bleak. however, as time passed my mind began to clear and approximately six weeks later my right leg began to move ever so slightly. within seven weeks my right arm slowly began to move and at eight weeks i uttered my first few words. my speech was extremely difficult and slow in the beginning, but at least it was a beginning. i was starting to look forward to each new day to see how far i would progress. but just as i thought my life was finally looking brighter i was tested by the hospital euro-psychologist. she explained to me that judging from my test results she believed that i should not focus on returning to college but that it would be better to set more "realistic goals."

意识上的幻觉和生理上的病疾使我的病情预断非常的渺茫。然而时间的飞逝使我的意识开始变得清晰，大约六个星期以后我的右腿可以轻微地活动了，七周以后我的右臂开始缓慢地活动了，八周以后我终于开口说话了。说话对于我非常地艰难并且开始的时候说得很慢，但是总算是开头了。我开始寄希望于新的一天的到来，祈望着新的进步。但正当我以为生活总算初露光明的时候，医院里有个欧洲来的心理学家对我做了测试。她向我解释到，从检测的结果来看她坚信我不能再重返学校，劝我对此不要抱有任何希望，希望我最好树立些更现实点的目标。

upon hearing her evaluation i became furious for i thought, "who is she to tell me what i can or cannot do. she does not even know me. i am a very determined and stubborn person!" i believe it was at that very moment that i decided i would somehow, someday return to college.

她的这番结论让我怒不可遏，“她是谁，凭什么告诉我能做什么或不能做什么。她根本不了解我。我是很坚强而固执的人!”我相信就在那时我决定无论如何，总有一天我会返回学校的。

it took me a long time and a lot of hard work but i finally returned to the university of texas in the fall of 1983 -- a year and a half after almost dying. the next few years in austin were very difficult for me, but i truly believe that in order to see beauty in life you have to experience some unpleasantness. maybe i have experienced too much unpleasantness, but i believe in living each day to the fullest, and doing the very best i can. and each new day was very busy and very full, for besides attending classes at the university i underwent therapy three to five days each week at brackenridge hospital. if this were not enough i flew to houston every other weekend to work with tom williams, a trainer and executive who had worked for many colleges and professional teams and also had helped many injured athletes, such as earl campbell and eric dickerson. through tom i learned: "nothing is impossible and never, never give up or quit."

在经历了一年半垂死挣扎的生活后，在漫长的等待和艰辛的付出后，终于在1983年的秋天，我返回了德克萨斯大学。在奥斯汀接下来的几年里我生活得非常艰难，但我确信为了看到生活中的真善美你必须要经历一些苦难。也许我经历的苦难太多了，但我有一个信念——充实地过每一天，尽力做到最好。日子过的很繁忙、很充实，除了读书，每周我还在要在布莱肯瑞吉医院接受三到五次的治疗。如果这还不够忙的话，我还要隔周和汤姆·威廉斯飞到奥斯汀工作。汤姆是一个教练兼主管，他曾效力于许多大学校队和职业联队，并帮助过许多受伤的运动员，如：厄尔·坎贝尔和艾立克·迪克森。从汤姆的身上我学到“没有什么是不可能的，千万千万不要放弃，永不放弃。”

early, during my therapy, my father kept repeating to me one of his favorite sayings. i have repeated it almost every day since being hurt: "mile by mile its a trial; yard by yard its hard; but inch by inch its a cinch."

早在我接受治疗的时候，父亲总是重复他最爱的那句话，每天当我感到痛苦的时候我也对自己重复那句话，那就是“脚踏实地，切勿急功近利。”

i thought of those words, and i thought of tom, my family and sharon who believed so strongly in me as i climbed the steps to receive my diploma from the dean of liberal arts at the university of texas on that bright sunny afternoon in june of 1986. excitement and pride filled my heart as i heard the dean announce that i had graduated with "highest honors", been elected to phi beta kappa, and been chosen as one of 12 deans distinguished graduates out of 1600 in the college of liberal arts. the overwhelming emotions and feelings that i experienced at that very moment, when most of the audience gave me a standing ovation, i felt would never again be matched in my life-not even when i graduated with a masters degree in social work and not even when i became employed full time at the texas pain and stress center. but i was wrong!

1986年六月那个阳光明媚的午后，当我步履蹒跚地走上德克萨斯大学迪安文学院的台阶接受文凭的时候，我思索着这些话，想到汤姆、父母还有沙伦，他们都那么坚定地给予了我信任。当我听到院长宣布我以最高荣誉毕业时，我的心中充满了骄傲和自信。接着他还宣布我被选入美国大学优等生荣誉学会，并在1600名毕业生中当选为12名迪安文学院的杰出毕业生之一。当场有许多观众站起来为我鼓掌，那一刻令我心潮澎湃、百感交集。我甚至觉得生命中不可能再经历那样的感慨和激情，这种想法一直延续到我获得社会学的硕士学位，成为德克萨斯止痛减压中心的一名全职工作人员。但幸运之神再次眷顾了我!

on may 24, 1987, i realized that nothing could ever match the joy i felt as sharon and i were married. sharon, my high school sweetheart of nine years, had always stood by me, through good and bad times. to me, sharon is my miracle, my diamond in a world filled with problems, hurt, and pain. it was sharon who dropped out of school when i was hurt so that she could constantly be at my side. she never wavered or gave up on me. it was her faith and love that pulled me through so many dark days. while other nineteen year old girls were going to parties and enjoying life, sharon devoted her life to my recovery. that, to me, is the true definition of love. after our beautiful wedding i continued working part time at the pain center and completed my work for a masters degree. we were extremely happy, but even happier when we learned sharon was pregnant.

1987年5月24日，我觉得再没有什么能与此时的快乐相提并论，我和沙伦结婚了。沙伦是我高中时代的女友，风风雨雨九年来，她一直陪在我身旁。对我来说，她是我的奇迹，是我在这个充满困惑和伤痛的世界上拥有的一颗钻石。为了能日夜守侯在我的身旁，沙伦在我受伤的时候放弃了学业。她的爱从未动摇过，她从未抛弃过我。是她的忠诚和爱伴着我度过了无数个黑暗的日子。当别的十九岁的女孩子参加舞会、享受生活的时候，沙伦把青春献给了病床上的我，等待我的康复。对我来说，这就是爱的真谛。在那个美满的婚礼之后，我继续在止痛中心做着兼职的工作，并获得了我的硕士学位。我们非常的幸福，而沙伦怀孕的消息更让我们恩爱有加。

on july 11, 1990 at 12:15 a.m. sharon woke me with the news: "we need to go to the hospital… my water just broke." i couldnt help but think how ironic it was that my life almost ended in a convenience store and now on the date "7-11" we were about to bring a new life into this world. this time it was my turn to help sharon as she had helped me over those past years. she was in labor for 15 hours. at 3:10 p.m. sharon and i experienced the birth of our beautiful daughter, shawn elyse segal! tears of joy and happiness came to my eyes as our healthy, alert, wonderful daughter entered this world. we anxiously counted her 10 fingers and her 10 toes and watched her wide eyes take in the world about her. it was truly a beautiful picture that was etched in my mind forever as she lie in her mothers waiting arms, just minutes after her birth. at that moment i thanked god for blessing us with the greatest miracle of all-shawn elyse segal.

1990年7月11日12点15分，沙伦把我从梦中唤醒：“我们得去医院了……我羊水破了。”我忍不住想命运真让人啼笑皆非，它几乎让我在那家便利店里丢了性命，而在一个命名为“7·11”的日子里它却让我迎来新生命的出世。多年来沙伦帮我度过了一次又一次难关，这次该我来帮助她了。沙伦经历了15个小时的分娩。在3点10分的时候，沙伦和我一起迎来了我们美丽的女儿——萧恩·艾丽斯·斯高。当我看到美丽的女儿健康地来到这个世上，喜悦和幸福化作泪水夺眶而出。我们迫不及待地数着她的十个手指和十只脚趾，看着她大大的眼睛注视着她的世界。初生的婴儿躺在妈妈柔软的怀里如一副优美的图画将永驻我的心中。那一刻，我感谢上帝赐予我们如此最伟大的奇迹——我的萧恩·艾丽斯·斯高。

True Happiness

"Life,liberty and the pursuit of happiness." The authors of the American Declaration proclaimed happiness to be one of the essential rights that make life worth living.William James,the first American psychologist,echoed this emphasis on happiness:"If we were to ask the question:What is human lifes chief concern?One of the answers we should receive would be:It is happiness." Every philosophical and religious system has offered its pathway to happiness for the individual and the group.Happiness has been related to pleasure,refuge from pain,intellectual contemplation,union with God,friendship,children,wealth,honor,successful activity,and even state burial with statues!Today,scientists have joined the dialogue to seek answers about what contributes to happiness or,as they call it,"subjective well-being".

If happiness is activity in accordance with excellence,it is reasonable that it should be in accordance with the highest excellence.– Aristotle The concept of happiness--while difficult to define-- is obviously here to stay.But the desire for happiness can set up expectations that are often hard to fulfill.The right to pursue happiness was conceived of as an inalienable right; the entitlement that everyone be happy was never promised.As captured by Eric Hoffer,a misguided search we hope to provide a framework that will guide you in your personal pursuit of happiness. 真正的快乐

“生活、自由和追求幸福的权利.”研究报告的撰写者们宣布美国声明是一个幸福的基本权利,让生活有价值.威廉·詹姆斯,第一个美国心理学家,回荡强调幸福:"如果我们问这个问题:“什么是人类的生活的主要关心的事吗?答案之一我们应该接受应该是:“这是happiness.”哲学和宗教系统都提供了它的通往个人和幸福

Last summer holiday, I took a trip to Yunnan. It is in the southern part of

our country .It is really a very beautiful place grand mountains, clean rivers

and kind people. Trees and flowers are seen everywhere. Every year there are

lots and lots of visitors.

Maybe you have heard about Shi Lin (stone forests). There are all kinds of

strange stones. Some of the small stones look like graceful girls; and the big

stones look like handsome men. Other stones look like cats, peafowls,

double-edged swords, mice, elephants and so on. Of all the stones, the stone

like a beautiful girl in a legend is the most famous .Its name is A Shima.

I also went to Li Jiang. The roads in that city are just like the Eight

Diagrams. Any road in the city goes to the center of Li Jiang. A river runs

through the whole city. If you go along the river, youll never get lost. There

are many ethnic minority people in Yunnan. They are very cordial. And they all

like singing and dancing. We danced with them around the campfire that night. I

really had a good time.

I like the elephants and fruits there best. An elephant is even taller than

me! I even mounted the elephant, though I was very afraid at first. But the

elephant seemed very friendly. I took some photos with it. The fruits there are

very fresh and delicious. They are very good for our health.

The trip to Yunnan impressed me greatly. I will never forget it.

我的爱好很多很多，但我最喜欢读书。

I love a lot, but I most like reading.

我有一个大书房，房间里第一眼看到的就是书，书房里最显眼的也是我的书。只要有一本书，我就能从喧闹的环境中走出来，所以我的书房是宁静的。要是周末的话，其中九个小时我都会选择看书。为了不让他人打搅自己，我常常在门上贴着“闲人免进”的牌子。书的吸引力实在是太大了，它让我成了“小书虫”。

I have a big room, in the room the first sight is the book, the most prominent in the study and my book. As long as there is a book, I can go out from the noisy environment, so my study is quiet. If the weekend, including nine hours I would choose to read a book. In order not to let others bother me, I often stuck in the door, "Staff Only" brand. The attraction is too big, it made me "little bookworm".

书是我的宝贝，书是我的朋友，书是我的乐园。我爱读书!让我跳进这知识的海洋吧!

The book is my baby, the book is my friend, is my paradise. I love reading! Let me jump into the sea of knowledge!

如果你也是个“小书虫”，那和我一起去跟书赛跑吧!

If you are a "bookworm", that I go with the book s race!

Today I found time was a cruel thing.

Whatever man is, time always goes on.It won‘t stay to wait for somebody. You can‘t use anything to exchange time. Time is also a fair thing.

Although you have a lot of money or you enjoy high reputation, time won‘t leave them more. Today I found I hadn‘t enough time. Although I have 50-day holiday, but I found I had a lot of things to do.

I had a lot of homework to do and I had something necessary to do.

原文翻译：

昨天，我妈妈问我一个问题，这让我丈二的和尚 - 摸不着头脑。她问我想要什么元旦礼物，我说：“我想要吃了很多好吃的。妈妈听了摇了摇头，说：我没必要的，你改变一个人。我眼珠一转，说：“我要出去玩。妈妈说：“我没有时间，等有时间交谈。然后，我还提到了几个愿望，母亲没有同意。折腾这一天晚上，想到第二天去上学，但也只好停在那里。于是，我怀着忐忑不安的心情入睡。

In China, there is a saying that the children who live in the countryside areEarly-maturing, it is not about the physiology, it is about the mentality. The reason for the children being premature is various. Some children live in an unhappy family, such their parents get divorced or their parents don’t get along with each other. Living in such a family, the children will not grow up in a normal way, they will have sad feelings and become to know more about the unlucky things. Some children who live in the country need to take more responsibility, because their parents work in the big cities, so the children have to take care of themselves and also learn to do the house work. It is not good for the children to be early-maturing, they should grow up step by step, the parents need to give more care on the kids.

在中国，有一句话，农村的孩子早当家，这不是说生理上的，而是说心里上的。造成孩子早熟的原因有很多。一些孩子生活在不幸福的家庭，比如他们的父母离婚或者他们的父母相处不好。生活在这样的家庭，孩子不会正常的长大，他们会感到悲伤，了解更多不幸的事情。一些住在农村的孩子需要承担更多的责任，因为他们的父母在大城市打工，所以孩子需要照顾自己，也要学着去做家务。孩子早熟是不好的，他们应该一步一步地成长，家长需要给予孩子更多的关爱。

Love is an art which involves deep emotion. It is a pure and lofty desire in ones innermost heart. Real love means not only a pleasure, but also loyalty and obligation. To love is to give and sacrifice. One who can not create happiness, even make sacrifice for his beloved, cannot be counted as a true lover.

To be loved you have to love. True lovers are willing to sacrifice themselves for each others sake. True love needs no expression in words. One glance is enough to make each other understand. A handshake, a gentle touch inspired by respect and admiration, will leave you intoxicated and remain in your memory. Even when you are old you will recall and cherish it with deep emotion.

Real love is unforgettable. With the development of science and technology, love becomes more noble, rich, fine and subtle. As is known to all, everyone is born with the right to love and also the right to refuse to return love. Human love exists with human beings. Wherever there are people, there is love.

Let us draw courage, confidence and happiness from love.

Can be busy in the street, people mountain people sea. At seven o clock is

very to, start with fireworks, "bang..." Voice rings, the fireworks are green,

red, yellow, purple, colorful, colorful. Look, a "super-sized" fireworks fly the

sky, and then with a roar, and fireworks sprayed out of the little one was full

of the sky, sometimes like a bauhinia, sometimes like a chrysanthemum. Some

township, bine... "Bang! Bang" rang again, and some bread with a small bee in

fireworks, after the blast, emit the light of fireflies. The colorful decorated

enveloped the entire lijin county. See gold waterfall flows down, every gold

falls and shiny golden flowers covered with earth. As the tang dynasty poet li

bai have cloud: "plunges three thousand feet, suspected galaxy nine days."

Look at the sky the colorful fireworks, I smiled happily. The happiest time of the New Year is of course the twelve o clock fireworks burning fireworks on New Years eve. Many different kinds of firecrackers, DaDeGong, thunder king rai-oh, flash, how mice, DeLaoShu, Mickey Mouse, pistachios, chip Li marble, high-quality goods a piece of red... The types of fireworks split, magic bullet, cruise missile...

When ringing in the New Year, I took father to set off firecrackers fireworks lighted the yard of the village. Firecrackers sound the largest is the thunder king rai-oh, I carefully lit thunder king rai-oh lead, fast run, covering the ear, gently staring thunder king rai-oh, mouth shouted "shooting! Shot!" Listen to 1 of "dong", the power is too big, the sound to the other firecrackers, with, is really a thunder of guns! I like the monkey hit doping, jumped happily.

Then Im ready to put a rocket. Dad said: "rockets to remove the arrow from the front, unassuming, but accidentally shot dead." I reluctantly took the arrow, a lit fuses, after a while, listen to "sou" sound, the rocket flew like light speed. I think, father said to shoot dead, because of the too fast, can do. I jumped up and shouted again "really, really fierce!" , and then, I have put a light ray, magic bullet, foaming at the mouth of mice, DeLaoShu, Mickey Mouse...

After I put firecrackers and fireworks, and did not leave, but watching others put the fireworks, fireworks on the day, "pa, pa" sound, there are a lot of fireworks in the sky in bloom, some a split, some open like a red rose, and some like the stars...

看着满天绚丽的礼花，我高兴地笑了。新年中最快乐的时光，当然是除夕十二点放鞭炮燃礼花了。鞭炮的种类很多，有大地红，雷王，闪光雷，冲天老鼠，地老鼠，米老鼠，开心果，噼呖啪啦，精品一片红……礼花的种类有天女散花，魔力子弹头，巡航导弹……

当新年的钟声敲响的时候，我便拉着爸爸在小区的院子里放鞭炮燃礼花。鞭炮声音最大的是雷王，我小心翼翼的点燃雷王的引线，飞速地跑开，轻轻捂上耳朵，目不转睛的盯着雷王，嘴里喊着“放炮了!放炮了!”只听“咚”的一声，威力太大了，这声音合着其它鞭炮声，此起彼伏，真是炮声如雷啊!我像打了兴奋剂的猴子一样，高兴地跳了起来。

紧接着我又准备放火箭炮。爸爸说：“火箭炮要把前面的箭头取了，看起来不起眼，但不小心会射死人的。”我半信半疑的取了箭头，一点燃引线，过了一会儿，只听“嗖”的一声，火箭像光一样的速度飞了。我一想，爸爸说的能射死人，因为速度太快了，一定能行。我再一次跳起来喊“真厉害，真厉害!”，紧接着，我又放了闪光雷、魔力子弹头，冲天老鼠，地老鼠，米老鼠……

我把鞭炮和礼花放完后，并没有离去，而是观看他人放的礼花，礼花一下冲上天，“啪、啪”声不断，天空中有好多好多的礼花在绽放，有的像天女散花，有的像红玫瑰开放，有的像满天的繁星……

今天上午第二节课，我们都坐在位子上等着英语老师来给我们上课，没想到，英语老师拿着一叠厚厚的卷子进来了，我以为老师是发给我们今天的作业，便又坐在那里，乖乖听老师发言，但老师的一句话把我心中的石块提了起来：“下面我们要进行第五单元的考试。”同学们的嘴巴一个个都张成了“O”形。

张老师让我们先复习两分钟，这两分钟就好似两秒钟，转眼间就到了头。老师快速发下试卷，我做了几个深呼吸，先扫视一下所有的题目，心中有了个底儿，便开始做题。教室里静的出奇，连心脏跳动的声音都能听得清清楚楚。五十四根铅笔在试卷上飞舞，发出沙沙的笑声。我每遇到难题，都心头一紧，但接着就以极快的速度冷静下来，解决了问题。时间一分一秒的过去了，离交卷的时间越来越近，我的目光也翻滚在每一道题之间。

“当……当……当，”下课铃打响了，我心中的石块也安然落地，我匆匆交上试卷，心中还是有无数的疑问：我能考满分吗?还能保持第一名吗?
