篇15:以成功为话题的高一英语
全文共 2150 字
+ 加入清单When it comes to success, different people have different opinions about
what makes it come true. Some people regard hard-working as an essential quality
to success while others believe being clever would lead to success. From my
point of view, I think perseverance and hard-working are indispensable for those
who want to make an achievement.
Firstly, perseverance let people step closely towards success. Most people
want to make a big difference to prove their value. People who set their goal
and keep moving would make their dream come true. However, there are some people
who set their goal but they stop at the difficulty would fail in the end. I
think the difference between success and failure is perseverance. If we have
perseverance, even if we are not clever, we will make a great difference, but if
we not, we are doomed to lose. As we all know, Edison is a great inventor in the
world. However, before he invented the bulb, he kept trying for tens of
thousands of times to find a suitable wire. Let us imagine, if he gave up at the
999th, then how he couldn’t become so successful. So, I strongly believe that
perseverance produces success.
Secondly, there is also a kind of people who are born with cleverness, I
think they are lucky. Nevertheless, if they don’t make a hard work on their way
to their goal, they, absolutely, will become loser. Whether we are gifted for
intelligent, we must be hard-working so as to success. I regard hard-working as
an efficient approach to be successful because I believe ‘pains and gains’. As
for those who do not make great efforts on work, failure follows. In old times,
there is a clever boy who can make excellent poem when he can talk. When his
father found the little child’s cleverness, he just let the child make poems to
show around while never let the boy learned anything. When the boy grew up,
people forgot him because he lost the ability to compose poems and became
ordinary as others. From this matter, we can see that only by hard-working can
we get knowledge and make a good future.
Anyway, I think perseverance and hard-working are both important in our way
to success for they enhance us and produce success.

+ 加入清单Situated in the western outskirts of Haidian District, the Summer Palace is 15 kilometers (9.3 miles) from central Beijing. Having the largest royal park and being well preserved, it was designated, in 1960 by the State Council, as a Key Cultural Relics Protection Site of China. Containing examples of the ancient arts, it also has graceful landscapes and magnificent constructions. The Summer Palace is the archetypal Chinese garden, and is ranked amongst the most noted and classical gardens of the world. In 1998, it was listed as one of the World Heritage Sites by UNESCO.
Constructed in the Jin Dynasty (1115-1234), during the succeeding reign of feudal emperors; it was extended continuously. By the time of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), it had become a luxurious royal garden providing royal families with rest and entertainment. Originally called Qingyi Garden (Garden of Clear Ripples), it was know as one of the famous three hills and five gardens (Longevity Hill, Jade Spring Mountain, and Fragrant Hill; Garden of Clear Ripples, Garden of Everlasting Spring, Garden of Perfection and Brightness, Garden of Tranquility and Brightness, and Garden of Tranquility and Pleasure). Like most of the gardens of Beijing, it could not elude the rampages of the Anglo-French allied force and was destroyed by fire. In 1888, Empress Dowager Cixi embezzled navy funds to reconstruct it for her own benefit, changing its name to Summer Palace (Yiheyuan). She spent most of her later years there, dealing with state affairs and entertaining. In 1900, it suffered again, being ransacked by the Eight-Power Allied Force. After the success of the 1911 Revolution, it was opened to the public.
Composed mainly of Longevity Hill and Kunming Lake, The Summer Palace occupies an area of 294 hectares (726.5 acres), three quarters of which is water. Guided by nature, artists designed the gardens exquisitely so that visitors would see marvelous views and be amazed by perfect examples of refined craftwork using the finest materials.
Centered on the Tower of Buddhist Incense (Foxiangge) the Summer Palace consists of over 3,000 structures including pavilions, towers, bridges, and corridors. The Summer Palace can be divided into four parts: the court area, front-hill area, front-lake area, and rear-hill and back-lake area.
Front-Hill Area: this area is the most magnificent area in the Summer Palace with the most constructions. Its layout is quite distinctive because of the central axis from the yard of Kunming Lake to the hilltop, on which important buildings are positioned including Gate of Dispelling Clouds, Hall of Dispelling Clouds, Hall of Moral Glory, Tower of Buddhist Incense, the Hall of the Sea of Wisdom, etc.
Rear-Hill and Back-Lake Area: although the constructions are fewer here, it has a unique landscape, with dense green trees, and winding paths. Visitors can feel a rare tranquility, and elegance. This area includes scenic spots such as Kunming Lake and Back Lake , which presents a tranquil beauty, Garden of Harmonious Interest , built by imitating the layout of Southern China’s classical gardens, and Suzhou Market Street, endowed with a strong flavor of the water town Suzhou.
Court Area: this is where Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu met officials, conducted state affairs and rested. Entering the East Palace Gate, visitors may see the main palace buildings: the Hall of Benevolence and Longevity served as the office of the Emperor, the Hall of Jade Ripples where Guangxu lived, the Hall of Joyful Longevity, Cixis residence, the Garden of Virtue and Harmony where Cixi was entertained, Yiyun House , where once lived the Empress Longyu, and Long Gallery, which measures the longest in Chinese gardens.
Front Lake Area: covering a larger part of the Summer Palace, opens up the vista of the lake. A breeze fluttering, waves gleam and willows kiss the ripples of the vast water. In this comfortable area there are the Eastern Bank and Western Bank, Seventeen-Arch Bridge, Nanhu Island, the largest island in Summer Palace, Bronze Ox, an imposing statue beside the lake, and Marble Boat, built in western style with elaborate decorations . On the western bank float six distinct bridges amongst which the Jade-Belt Bridge is the pretty!
