My dear fellow students,

The Olympics are just around the corner. Today I want to talk about good manners and courtesy.

We Chinese have always been respected and highly praised for good manners and courtesy, which have, as well, become precious traditions of our people. In a couple of weeks beyond, a large number of foreign friends will come to China to join us in enjoying the Olympics. Before foreign guests, we should have an easy manner and behave politely and warm-heartedly. In public places, such ugly behaviors as uproar, pushing or squeezing together, spitting and so on should be determinedly forbidden. In a sense, each of us will not simply stand for ourselves but stand for China. Therefore, boys and girls, let’s do it well right now and the eyes of the world are to on us!

[高考英语满分作文一篇讲究文明礼仪的倡议书

高考语文作文万能素材(一)

1.潘多拉的盒子：潘多拉是希腊神话中第一个尘世女子。普罗米修斯盗天火给人间后，主神宙斯为惩罚人类，命令神用黏土塑成一个年轻美貌、虚伪狡诈的姑娘，取名“潘多拉”，意为“具有一切天赋的女人”。并给了她一个礼盒，然后将她许配给普罗米修斯的弟弟埃庇米修斯(意为“后知”)。埃庇米修斯不顾禁忌地接过礼盒，潘多拉趁机打开它，于是各种恶习、灾难和疾病立即从里面飞出来。盒子里只剩下唯一美好的东西：希望。但希望还没来得及飞出来，潘多拉就将盒子永远地关上了。“潘多拉的盒子”被用来比喻造成灾害的根源。

2.达摩克利斯剑：达摩克利斯是希腊神话中暴君迪奥尼修斯的宠臣，他常说帝王多福，以取悦帝王。有一次，迪奥尼修斯让他坐在帝王的宝座上，头顶上挂着一把仅用一根马鬃系着的利剑，以此告诉他，虽然身在宝座，利剑却随时可能掉下来，帝王并不多福，而是时刻存在着忧患。人们常用这一典故来比喻随时可能发生的潜在危机。

3.缪斯：缪斯是希腊神话中九位文艺和科学女神的通称。她们均为主神和记忆女神之女。她们以音乐和诗歌之神阿波罗为首领，分别掌管着历史、悲剧、喜剧、抒情诗、舞蹈、史诗、爱情诗、颂歌和天文。古希腊的诗人、歌手都向缪斯呼告，祈求灵感。后来，人们就常用“缪斯”来比喻文学、写作和灵感等。

4.斯芬克斯之谜：斯芬克斯是希腊神话中以隐谜害人的怪物，埃及最大的胡夫金字塔前的狮身人面怪兽就是他。他给俄狄浦斯出的问题是：什么东西早晨用四只脚走路，中午用两只脚走路，傍晚用三只脚走路?俄狄浦斯回答：是人。在生命的早晨，他是个孩子，用两条腿和两只手爬行;到了生命的中午，他变成壮年，只用两条腿走路;到了生命的傍晚，他年老体衰，必须借助拐杖走路，所以被称为三只脚。俄狄浦斯答对了。斯芬克斯羞愧坠崖而死。“斯芬克斯之谜”常被用来比喻复杂、神秘、难以理解的问题。

5.皮格马利翁：皮格马利翁是希腊神话中的塞浦路斯国王。他憎恨女性，决定永不结婚。他用神奇的技艺雕刻了一座美丽的象牙女像，并爱上了她。他像对待自己的妻子那样抚爱她，装扮她，并向神乞求让她成为自己的妻子。爱神阿芙洛狄忒被他打动，赐予雕像生命，并让他们结为夫妻。“皮格马利翁效应”后来被用在教育心理学上，也称“期待效应”或“罗森塔尔效应”，比喻教师对学生的期待不同，对他们施加的方法不同，学生受到的影响也不一样。

6.犹大的亲吻：犹大是《圣经》中耶稣基督的亲信子弟12门徒之一。耶稣传布新道虽然受到了百姓的拥护，却引起犹太教长老司祭们的仇恨。他们用30个银币收买了犹大，要他帮助辨认出耶稣。他们到客马尼园抓耶稣时，犹大假装请安，拥抱和亲吻耶稣。耶稣随即被捕，后被钉死在十字架上。人们用“犹大的亲吻”比喻可耻的叛卖行为。

7.诺亚方舟：出自《圣经》。上帝对人类所犯下的罪孽非常忧伤，决定用洪水消灭人类。诺亚是个正直的人，上帝吩咐他造船避灾。经过40个昼夜的洪水，除诺亚一家和部分动物外，其他生物都被洪水吞没。后被用来比喻灾难中的避难所或救星。

8.伊甸园：出自《圣经》。上帝在东方的一片富饶的平原上开辟了一个园子，里面有果树和各种飞禽走兽。上帝让亚当看守园子。为排解他的寂寞，上帝从亚当的身上取出一根肋骨，造成一个女人——夏娃来陪伴他。他们过着无忧无虑的日子。人们用伊甸园比喻人间的乐园。

9.禁果：出自《圣经》。亚当和夏娃住在伊甸园中，上帝允许他们食用园中的果实，唯独“知善恶树”上的果实不能吃。狡猾的蛇引诱他们吃了禁果，从此他们懂得了善恶，辨别出真假，而且产生了羞耻之心。上帝因此将他们逐出伊甸园。禁果比喻被禁止得到而又渴望得到的东西。

10.多米诺骨牌，这是一种西洋游戏，将许多长方形的骨牌竖立排列成行，轻轻推倒第1张牌时，其余骨牌将依次纷纷倒下。用于比喻时，“多米诺骨牌效应”常指一系列的连锁反应，即“牵一发而动全身”。

李嘉诚亲自去接老师

香港著名的塑胶商、房地产巨商李嘉诚常常捐资助学。一次，他邀请汕头大学的一批教师来港并准备亲自去车站迎接。恰好此时他又接到通知，国家经贸部一位官员专程来港与他洽谈生意，请他去迎接。经过考虑，李嘉诚先生安排了别人去接经贸部官员，而自己还是去了火车站。由于火车晚点，他在车站足足等了一个多小时。汕头大学的老师知道后感动地说：“这件事使我们更加深刻地体会到李嘉诚先生对教育的诚心。他能舍命办教育，我们也应该努力去做。”

分析：商人捐资办学，不能沽名钓誉。李嘉诚以自己的行动，证明了他的言行一致。 话题：“尊师重教”“表率”“做人与做事”

如此“廉洁”

据记载，窃国大盗袁世凯生活上奢侈腐化，但常常装出一副廉洁的样子。一次，他故意在吃饭时召见内阁成员，当大家来到他的住所时，只见他正端着一碗小米粥，就着一条红烧鲫鱼吃得津津有味，时而从一个佐料瓶往碗里倒些什么。内阁成员见了，都赞道：“总统生活这么俭朴，我辈值得仿效。”事后，卫士告诉大家，那是仿效不了的。总统吃的是西北上等小米，且都是一粒粒精心挑选出来的;那鲫鱼是有名的洪河鲫，为了保鲜，是专门放在猪油里从千里之外的河南运到京城的;就是那佐料，也是东北的千年老山参和鹿茸做成的。此言一出，众人哑然。

分析：欺世盗名者，往往是言行不一的小人。虚假面具总会被揭开的，其丑恶嘴脸，终究会大白于天下。 话题：“面具”“贪婪”“作秀”

李苦禅烧画

李苦禅是我国当代著名画家，他为人爽直，凡答应给人作画，从不食言。有一次，有位老朋友请他作一幅画，李苦禅因有事在身，未能及时完成。不久，当他接到老友病故的讣告后，面有愧色，即趋作画，画了幅“百莲图”，并郑重其事题上老友的名字，盖上印章，随即携至后院，将画烧毁。事后，对儿子说：“今后再有老友要画，及时催我，不可失信啊!”

分析：真正的画家、艺术家都是些感情真挚而丰富的人。他的不虚伪造作，讲诚信，从不食言，真可谓画品如人品。话题：“诚信人生”“重诺”

高考语文作文万能素材(三)

经营人心

清代乾隆年间，南昌城有一点心店主李沙庚，最初，以货真价实赢得顾客满门。但其赚钱后便搀杂使假，对顾客也怠慢起来，生意日渐冷落。一日，书画名家郑板桥来店进餐，李沙庚惊喜万分，恭请题写店名。郑板桥挥毫题定“李沙庚点心店”六字，墨宝苍劲有力，引来众人观看，但还是无人进餐。原来“心”字少写了一点，李沙庚请求补写一点。但郑板桥却说：“没有错啊，你以前生意兴隆，是因为‘心’有了这一点，而今生意清淡，正因为‘心’少了这一点。”李沙庚感悟，才知道经营人生的重要。从此以后，痛改前非，又一次赢得了人心，赢得了市场。

分析：人心是一笔无形资产，是一笔不可忽视的巨大财富。对于企业、商家而言，经营人心是事业健康、持续发展的关键。此事亦可看出郑板桥的智慧与幽默。 话题：“经营人心”“诚信”“名人的智慧”

买鞋子

珍妮发现一家鞋店挂着清仓甩卖的牌子，便走进去看看。蓦然她的眼光被一双红色的吊带凉鞋吸引住了。珍妮一试刚合脚，看看价格才17美元，太便宜了。珍妮满心欢喜地去收银台，收款员小姐看了看珍妮疑惑地说：“小姐，您真要花17美元买这双鞋?”珍妮很纳闷：“难道价钱不对，还差多少?”“不，是这双鞋有问题。左边的比右边的大一码。可能是上回哪个顾客拿错了。我把它放在那儿并不准备卖，要不，我给您换一双，行吗?”珍妮细心一看，可不是嘛，左边的比右边的稍大一些，不过不仔细看是看不出的，顿时心中有一种莫名的感动。

分析：在商界中，除了要商品货真?

海明威和他的“硬汉形象”

美国作家海明威是一个极具进取精神的硬汉子。他曾尝试吃过蚯蚓、蜥蜴，在墨西哥斗牛场亮过相，闯荡过非洲的原始森林，两次世界大战都上了战场。 第一次世界大战时，19岁的他见一意大利士兵负伤，便冒着奥军的炮火上去抢救，结果自己也被炸伤了腿，但他仍背着伤员顽强前进。突然间，炮击停止，探照灯大亮，海明威终于回到阵地。原来是他的英勇行为感动了奥军将领，下令放他过去。 作为作家的海明威，曾雄心勃勃地表示要超过莎士比亚，“干掉”屠格涅夫，把莫泊桑、斯汤达打在地上说胡话。决心下定，就得奋力拼搏。1949年，他的朋友福克纳获诺贝尔文学奖，海明威不服气，匆匆写了一部小说要超过人家，反遭失败。倔强的海明威爬起来再干，终于写出了小说《老人与海》，获1954年诺贝尔文学奖。

他在《老人与海》这部小说中写下了一句响当当的名言：“人是不能被打败的，你可以把他消灭，但不能打败他!”

分析：是的，人是不能被打败的，只要我们心中有目标，有信念。即使过程艰幸，最终也能有所收获。 话题：“成功的曲折”“永不言败”

导语：“光盘行动”倡导厉行节约，反对铺张浪费，带动大家珍惜粮食、吃光盘子中的食物，下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的英语作文，欢迎阅读与借鉴，谢谢!

某英文网站举行专题征文活动。请根据下图，结合自己的生活实际，写一篇120-150词的英语短文。

注意：简要描述图片，并陈述自己的观点。

范文：

As is shown in the picture, two men had a big dinner in a restaurant, but much of the food was left and some was even untouched at all. When the waitress asked them to pack the remaining food, they felt very surprised, thinking that it was unbelievable for them to do things like that with too much money in their pocket.

It is a pity that many people act like the two men in the picture. In my view, we should pack the leftovers when we have meals outside. As we all know, saving is a fine tradition for our Chinese people and therefore we shouldnt waste a bit food. Also, there is not enough food in the world and there are many people starving. In addition, we students should form the habit of saving food and give away some to the people in need. Finally, we have the responsibility to help people around us realize the importance of saving.

Only in this way can we build up an economized society and live a happy and healthy life.

【参考译文】

如图所示，有两个人在一家餐馆里吃了一顿丰盛的晚餐，但剩下的大部分食物都没有了，有的甚至一点也不动。当女服务员要求他们把剩下的食物打包时，他们感到非常惊讶，认为他们在口袋里做太多的钱是不可信的。

可惜的是，许多人的行为像两个人在图片。在我看来，我们应该把剩菜打包当我们在外面吃饭。众所周知，储蓄是中国人民的优良传统，因此我们不应该浪费粮食。此外，世界上没有足够的食物，有许多人挨饿。此外，我们学生应该养成节约食物的习惯，并给有需要的人送一些食物。最后，我们有责任帮助身边的人认识到节约的重要性。

只有这样我们才能建立一个节约型社会和健康愉快的生活。

Wele to Baishan Mountain Hotel

Baishan Mountain Hotel is now open for business

参考范文：

Wele to Baishan Mountain Hotel

Baishan Mountain Hotel is now open for business。

Our hotel stands 500 meters away from the entrance to Baishan Mountain。 It has 20 single rooms and 15 double rooms，all with hot showers。 A single room is 100 yuan and double room 150 yuan for one night。 You are advised to book in advance。 The hotel serves three meals a day and there are Chinese food and western food for you to choose from。 You can also enjoy yourself at the café drinking tea or coffee in the evening。 We also have a swimming pool，which is open all day and free of charge。

All are wele!

Life is not always full of smiles and flowers. Every person has his own difficulties no matter how high his position or how great his achievement is. So it is of vital importance to have a correct attitude to face up to difficulties.

生活并不总是充满鲜花和微笑。每个人都有自己的困难，不管他的地位或是多大的成就有多高。所以要有一个正确的态度面对困难是至关重要的。

Some people feel so dejected about their difficulties that they fall into pessimism; others resort to putting the blame on others, the society or circumstance; still others are frightened by difficulties and give up halfway. All these people don’t use their abilities to overcome difficulties. So their attitudes are negative.

有些人对他们的困难感到沮丧，他们陷入悲观;别人采取把责任归咎于他人，社会或环境;还有些人害怕困难，半途而废。所有这些人都没有使用自己的能力去克服困难。所以他们的态度是消极的。

The positive method is to utilize your ability to clear away your difficulties that appear in your way of life rather than run away from them. Confront difficulties with joyful energy and enthusiasm , and you will find the difficulties are really not so hard as they appear and they will disappear in due course.

积极的方法是利用你的能力去清除你的困难，你的生活方式的出现，而不是逃避。面对困难与欢乐的精力和热情，你会发现其实并不困难，因为他们出现，他们将在适当的时候消失这么难。

Studying Abroad

In recent years, studying abroad has been popular.________________________

Studying Abroad

In recent years, studying abroad has been popular. Tens of thousands of Chinese students have gone to foreign countries to study. Many people are trying their best to apply to go abroad.

There are many advantages in attending schools abroad. First, students who have studied abroad can act as mediators between people of different cultures. Second, we can learn much more advanced knowledge of science and technology from foreign countries. Third, we can learn foreign languages more quickly.

However, there are some disadvantages. Most of the students are too young to live by themselves without any living experience. Besides, being far away from their home country, they may feel lonely and homesick. Of course the costs are much.

Dear Peter，

I’m writing to ask whether you are able to do me a favor。

I want to have a pen friend， hopefully a girl in her early twenties， and with interests similar to mine。 In my mind， she is someone who is interested in traveling， swimming， and playing table tennis。 Besides， it would be better for her to have a pet dog as I have kept one at home for some time。 With such a pen friend， I think I can share with her our traveling experiences， taking care of pets， or whatever we have in mon。 And I believe I will improve my English by doing so and learn more about her country。

I look forward to hearing from you soon。

choose a dramatic setting for your first date.

according to the song by paul simon, there are 50 ways to leave your lover. having achieved that, helpful scientists say, there are si ways to find another one.

they suggest that, for a first date to be a success, you should forget the old-fashioned romantic dinner and head instead for the funfair.

the ecitement of going on a roller coaster - or watching a thriller movie - will apparently boost each others se appeal.

so will playing rock music, sharing a joke and even going for a jog together.

the si rules are set out in new scientist magazine, based on research from a variety of sources.

here they are:

1. choose a dramatic setting for your first date, such as a roller coaster, or go to see a nerve-jangling movie such as fatal attraction.

2. mirror the other persons gestures, for eample by taking a sip of your drink at the same time. research shows that copying the other person helps create a feeling of affinity .

3. share a joke or engineer a comic situation, such as learning new dance steps while one of you is blindfolded. scientists found an eperience that makes you laugh creates a feeling of closeness.

4. get the soundtrack right. it has long been said that music is the food of love and many people will turn to romantic tunes such as those by marvin gaye or barry white to create the right mood. rock music has also been proved to work.

5. take eercise together, possibly by playing sport or jogging. this boosts dopamine levels in the brain.

6. gaze into the other persons eyes. it might be a cliche, but it works.

Dear Mr. Wang,

We’re so pleased that you are willing to share our views.

In the course of the general revision, what we need is solid foundation. As you know, we didn’t learn well enough in the first two years, so please slow down and make sure we have really mastered something. Besides, we need a little more time to think for ourselves. As for those important points which also make us confused, would you please give us more practice in case we forget? Meanwhile, we need your instruction, for example, in how to write in natural English. I still have another request: assign us less homework in order that we can do it more efficiently.

By the way, we often feel frustrated, which has a very bad effect on our study. We would appreciate it if you would give us some encouragement from time to time.
