To Sanya, we find a place to live and settle down. From the next day, we started an interesting Sanya tourism. Longevity is the first attraction we went to. Lush flowers and trees in the mountains. Longevity is the most significant feature is a more than 100 meters high statue of Buddha.

We went to the Bay. Where thin white sand, sea blue and clear. That morning we swim. In the afternoon, the sea at high tide, and we went to the depths of the sea, a big wave came, we were rushed ashore. so fun.

Then, we came to the ends of the earth, where the weather is very hot, we have to cool off, slowly walked into the sea. Start the water just knee, suddenly, came a big wave, our whole body wet. Hey, wet it in the water for a while and then play it.

Others not to be found, let me find, and finally even I could not find on your own, I feel strange, I thought:?!

寒假期间，我和爸爸的朋友吴叔叔一家坐飞机经过了三小时的飞行，从寒冷的北京到了气候闷热的三亚，仿佛从冰箱搬到微波炉里。祖国的气候差别如此之大，真是一种奇妙的感觉!

到了三亚，我们找到住的地方，安顿了下来。从第二天起，我们就开始了有趣的三亚旅游。万寿山是我们去的第一个景点。山上树木花草郁郁葱葱。万寿山的最大特色是有一尊高达100多米的佛像。

我们又去了亚龙湾。那里沙子又白又细，海水又蓝又清。我们上午在那游泳。到了下午，海水涨潮了，我们到海水的深处，大浪一过来，我们就被冲上岸了。真好玩。

接着，我们来到了天涯海角，那里天气十分炎热，我们为了凉快凉快，就慢慢的走进大海。开始海水刚到膝盖，突然，来了一个大浪，把我们全身都打湿了。哎，打湿了就在水里接着玩一会儿吧。

我们还泡了温泉。这可不是一个一般的温泉，温泉里生活着一种可以在热水里生活的小鱼，它们能吃你脚上的皮屑，小鱼咬着我脚上的皮，痒痒的，特别好玩。

沙滩是我们的天堂。我们玩各种各样的游戏，比如堆沙丘，做沙球…。其中最有意思的是埋鞋子让别人找。别人找不出来，就让我找，最后连我自己找都找不着了，我感觉莫名其妙，我想：我自己都找不着，别人怎么找?那我就再埋一只让别人找吧!我想着想着就埋了一只，好家伙儿!我刚把第二只埋好，站了起来，结果和上一次的一模一样，把大家乐得哈哈大笑，我也搞不清楚是怎么回事。

最后一天，我们去了蜈支洲岛。它是一个岛屿嘛，当然要坐船去喽。那天风很大，把浪乱的老高老高，船从浪上过去时，会有一种失控的感觉，挺好玩的。

我们一共在三亚玩了六天，每一天我们都有特殊的乐趣，特殊的感受，使我开阔了眼界。这一次旅游，让我得到了充分的放松，使我以饱满的精神迎接新学期的到来。

A poet leads me to a branch road: on one side, there are lots of sweet

apples, lovely and charming; on the other, there is a patch of thorn, what hides

behind the success of struggling against the thorn is a splendid palace. I

deeply know that if I choose the apples, I will give up a precious opportunity

of becoming a queen; While if I choose to challenge, I have to say farewell to

the apples. Which one should I choose?

Just like the branch road, we have to make a lot of choices during our

lifetime. It is usually considered that we are choosing what to gain, to own,

but in my opinion, we are just choosing to give up.

Choosing to be a teacher means giving up the life as rich as a business

man;

Choosing to be a top student means giving up much leisure time in front of

the TV.

Sure, it’s a torture, but we must judge carefully what is more important,

then give up the others. Don’t think of them any more, just focus all your

spirit on what you are doing.

I myself, who is standing here, have already chosen to challenge in such a

great competition, so I have to give up ten days of normal classes in school and

relaxation without pressure. But I am still pleased, because giving up properly

makes me stick to my choice.

Let’s return to our branch road, which one will your choose? I choose to

challenge here!

一位诗人把我引到一个岔路口：一边是甘甜的苹果，鲜艳而诱人;另一边是一条荆棘之路，但隐藏在与荆棘搏斗的成功之后是一座富丽的宫殿。我深深地明白：如果我选择那些苹果，我将失去一个可能成为女王的良机，与此同时，如果我选择挑战那些荆棘，那会很艰辛，而且我又必须与可爱的苹果告别，我该选择哪一个呢?

正如这个岔路口一般，生活中的我们面临多种选择。人们通常认为，我们在选择去获得什么，拥有什么，但在我看来，我们在选择放弃什么。

选择作一名老师意味着放弃了像商人一样奢华富有的生活。

选择作一名顶尖学生意味着放弃了许多在电视机前的闲暇时间。

当然，放弃的选择是一种苦难，但我们必须用心审度，什么对自己来说更为重要，做出选择，然后放弃其他，不要再回首想那些已放弃的东西，把精力集中于你正在做的事。

站在这里的我，已选择了在这样大规模的比赛中挑战自我，所以我必须放弃十天的正常功课和没有压力的轻松感。但我依然高兴，因为适宜的放弃弃之后，我更加专注于自己的选择。

让我们回到那个岔路口吧，你会选择哪一个呢?我，选择挑战此地!

[读书是好习惯英语作文及翻译

Nothing is difficult if you put your heart into it. Nothing is easy if you

don’t try your best.

We often hear people say, “Never give up.” A person who believes in these

words will keep trying to pursue his goal no matter how many times he fails. In

my opinion, the quality of determination to succeed is an important one to have.

Therefore, I believe that we should never give up.

One reason is that if we give up easily, we will achieve nothing. It is not

unusual for us to fail in our first attempt at something new, so we should not

feel discouraged. Besides, if we always give up when fail happens, we will can

not develop new skills. Finally, we should never give up because as we work to

reach our goals, we develop confidence, and this confidence can help us succeed

in other areas of our lives.

Probably the greatest example of persistence is Abraham Lincoln. Born into

poverty, Lincoln was faced with defeat throughout his life. He lost eight

elections, twice failed in business and suffered a nervous breakdown. He could

have quit many times - but he didnt and because he didnt quit, he became one

of the greatest presidents in the history of America.

Lincoln was a champion For the reason that ---he ,never gave up.

In short, no matter you succeed or not, you can learn something, no matter

what we learn will help us to become more confident. If we give up, we have no

chance to make our dreams come true, if we keep trying, there is always a

chance, that we will succeed one day. Thank you very much!

世上无难事，只怕有心人。如果你不努力，没有什么是容易的。

我们经常听到人们说:“永不放弃。”一个相信这些话的人，无论失败多少次，都将继续追求他的目标。在我看来，成功的决心是很重要的。因此，我认为我们不应该放弃。

一个原因是，如果我们轻易放弃，我们将一事无成。我们第一次尝试新事物时失败并不罕见，所以我们不应该感到气馁。此外，如果我们总是在失败的时候放弃，我们就无法发展新的技能。最后，我们永远不应该放弃，因为当我们努力实现我们的目标时，我们会建立信心，这种信心能帮助我们在生活的其他方面取得成功。

也许最伟大的坚持就是亚伯拉罕·林肯。林肯出身贫寒，一生都面临失败。他在8次选举中失败，两次失败，并经历了精神崩溃。他本可以放弃很多次，但他没有，因为他没有放弃，他成为了美国历史上最伟大的总统之一。

林肯是一个冠军，因为他从不放弃。

总之，无论你成功与否，你都可以学到一些东西，无论我们学到什么都会帮助我们变得更加自信。如果我们放弃，我们就没有机会实现我们的梦想，如果我们继续努力，总有机会，我们终有一天会成功。非常感谢!

I do not like teamwork in most time. Because I think it is hard for the

whole team to hold the same view. It is a waste of time to argue with each other

then make a compromise. But recently I have really seen the great power of

teamwork.

Last week we had a play competition. Because of some reasons, we had not

decided the play two days before the competition. Our monitor called the actors

and actresses who had been decided together. Then they think about every plot

together. To my surprise, it seemed that everybody had his or her good idea.

They gave up their weekend to practice the play. Finally our team won good marks

and were given the opportunity to participate in the final competition.

Teamwork is really powerful. No matter learning in school or working in the

future, we have to work in a team sometimes. So, try to establish the spirit of

teamwork. It will surely help you achieve success.

在大多数时间我不喜欢团队合作。因为我认为它是困难的为整个团队持有同样的观点。这是一个浪费时间争论然后互相妥协。但最近我真的见过伟大的团队合作的力量。

上周我们有一个玩的竞争。因为一些原因,我们没有决定竞争前的玩两天。我们的班长叫男女演员曾决定在一起。然后他们一起思考每一个情节。令我惊奇的是,似乎每个人都有他或她的好主意。他们放弃了周末练习。最后给出我们的团队赢得了好成绩,参加总决赛的机会。

团队合作真的很强大。无论在学校学习或工作在未来,有时我们必须在一个团队工作。所以,尝试建立团队合作的精神。它一定会帮助你取得成功。

Look at the steep stone steps, one layer and one layer. It seems that there is no way to find it, alas! As I wanted to give up, my father said to me, "do things to the end!"

老师让我们复习了，我们复习都很积极向上，因为毕竟要考试了，新年也要考个好成绩，各回各家，各找各妈，所以我们复习的进度很快，一天就可以复习几课。

我想象着：新年那天，人们家外边放着鞭炮，我们回到家里，拿着满分的卷子，吃那香喷喷的饺子，拜年后，找一个最大的口袋……干什么呀?拿压岁钱呗!

One day during the summer vacation, my father and I agreed to play

badminton, so we went to guolin park with badminton and racket.

some flowers are fragrant and beautiful. We came to a clearing and put the bag

on the lawn. Starting to play, the father said, "take the ball in your left

hand, take the beat in your right hand, and throw the ball gently at the beat of

the ball and hit the ball towards the other." I cant serve at the beginning,

also wont catch, serve as dad said practice is much more skilled practice, but

the other ball back, I was a little bad. I was a little frustrated by this, but

I thought: once you do something, you must do it well! So I trained again. I was

able to catch my dads ball very well, and my father praised me for saying that

the more I played the better, I was so happy.

People always say that we are lacking of the eyes of realizing the beauty in life. I can’t agree with it anymore. Last week, I woke up very early in the morning, so I decided to take a walk.

Some coffee shops decorates so well, which attrated my eyes. The city was coverd by the green trees, which made it a green city. I liked this feeling so much.

我国古代有一位爱国诗人叫屈原，他遭谗言被放逐后，无力拯救危亡的国家，悲愤过度，于是投江自尽，以生殉国。人们为了不使鱼虾吃掉他的尸体，纷纷将捏成的各种各样的饼子投入江中，用来喂饱水中的动物，有的划着船在水上敲锣打鼓驱赶水兽。这便成为现在端午节，吃粽子、炸糕点、赛龙舟的由来。

说到这里，我又想起了我家过端午节的情景。奶奶捏了种类不同的饼子，有小花，小人，小海星，真是形态各异。妈妈急着去买菜角，爸爸不慌不忙地拉着我去买粽子。排着长长的队，好似一条长龙，我们好不容易才买到了粽子。可以看出，家家户户都很重视这个节日，人们用这种方式来表达对屈原的思念和崇敬。

Halloween (or Halloween) is an annual holiday observed on October 31, which commonly includes activities such as trick-or-treating, attending costume parties, carving jack-o-lanterns, bonfires, apple bobbing, visiting haunted attractions, playing pranks, telling scary stories, and watching horror films.

History

Historian Nicholas Rogers, exploring the origins of Halloween, notes that while "some folklorists have detected its origins in the Roman feast of Pomona, the goddess of fruits and seeds, or in the festival of the dead called Parentalia, it is more typically linked to the Celtic festival of Samhain, whose original spelling was Samuin (pronounced sow-an or sow-in)".The name is derived from Old Irish and means roughly "summers end".Snap-Apple Night (1832) by Daniel Maclise.Depicts apple bobbing and divination games at a Halloween party in Blarney, Ireland.The name Halloween and many of its present-day traditions derive from the Old English era.

The word Halloween is first attested in the 16th century and represents a Scottish variant of the fuller All-Hallows-Even ("evening"), that is, the night before All Hallows Day.[4] Although the phrase All Hallows is found in Old English (ealra hālgena mæssedæg, mass-day of all saints), All-Hallows-Even is itself not attested until 1556.

11月1日 -- 万圣节 All Saints Day

11月2日 -- 墨西哥的鬼节 Day of Death

万圣节(All Saints Day, All Hallows Day或Hallowmas) 是每年11月1日的欧美大节日。

Halloween 是 All Hallows Eve 的缩写，万圣节前夜的意思，指10月31日的晚上。

For thousands of years people have been celebrating different holidays and festivals at the end of October. The Celts celebrated it as Samhain (pronounced “sow-in”, with “sow” rhyming with cow)。 The Irish English dictionary published by the Irish Texts Society defines the word as follows:

“Samhain, All Hallowtide, the feast of the dead in Pagan and Christian times, signalizing the close of harvest and the initiation of the winter season, lasting till May, during which troops (esp. the Fiann) were quartered. Faeries were imagined as particularly active at this season. From it the half year is reckoned. also called Feile Moingfinne (Snow Goddess)。(1) The Scottish Gaelis Dictionary defines it as ”Hallowtide. The Feast of All Soula. Sam + Fuin = end of summer.“(2) Contrary to the information published by many organizations, there is no archaeological or literary evidence to indicate that Samhain was a deity. The Celtic Gods of the dead were Gwynn ap Nudd for the British, and Arawn for the Welsh. The Irish did not have a ”lord of death“ as such.

The Celts believed that every year on the last day of October, the souls of the dead visited the earth.www.

When the Romans conquered the Celts in the first century A.D., they added parts of their festivals, Feralia and Pomona to the tradition. Feralia was a festival to honor the dead and Pomona was a harvest festival named after the goddess of fruit (apples) and trees.

Around the eigth century, the Christian church made November 1 All Saints Day to honor all of the saints that didnt have a special day of their own. Over the years these festivals combined, the mass held on All Saints Day was called Allhallowmas (the mass of all Hallows - saintly people)。 The night before was known as All Hallows Eve. Eventually this name became Halloween.

In the 1800s, as a lot of people emigrated to the U.S., the holidays and traditions of different cultures merged. Halloween was not always a happy time. October 31, or the night before took on other names. Some called it Devils or Hell night, to others it was mischief night. Here in Vermont, the night before is called cabbage night. To some people this became a time to play tricks on others. Some of these tricks were not fun at all. Luckily, community groups and individuals took action and started to change Halloween into a family event. Dressing up in costumes and going ”trick or treating“, costume parades, community parties and Fall festivals are some of the ways that Halloween is celebrated today.

Other countries have different Fall festivals to honor the deceased.

The Festival of the Dead is one of the most important happenings in both Palermo and the rest of Sicily. The second of November is a festival day for the children of Palermo as, according to tradition,they were made to believe that their dead relatives would return the night before and leave them traditional sweets and cakes on the table (Martorana fruit, which is almond paste made into the shape of different fruit)。 They would also receive puppets of boiled sugar and toys. Its one way of keeping the memory of their dead relatives and loved ones alive.

一年中最”闹鬼“的这天夜里，各种妖魔鬼怪、 海盗、 外星来客和巫婆们纷纷出动。在基督纪元以前，凯尔特人在夏未举行仪式感激上苍和太阳的恩惠。

当时的占卜者点燃并施巫术以驱赶据说在四周游荡的妖魔怪。后来，罗马人用果仁和苹果来庆祝的丰收节与凯尔特人的10月31日溶合了。

在中世纪，人们穿上动物造型的服饰、 戴上可怕的面具是想在万圣节前夜驱赶黑夜中的鬼怪。尽管後来基督教代替了凯尔特和罗马的宗教活动，早期的习俗还是保留下来了。现在，孩子们带着开玩笑的心理穿戴上各种服饰和面具参加万圣节舞会，这些舞会四周的墙上往往悬挂着用纸糊的巫婆、 黑猫、 鬼怪和尸骨，窗前和门口则吊着龇牙裂嘴或是面目可憎的南瓜灯笼。孩子们还常常试图咬住悬挂着的苹果。

美国和加拿大的孩子们在这天穿戴上古怪的服饰去按邻居家的门铃，并按传统发出”是款待我还是要我耍花招“的威胁。邻居们不管是否被吓着，总是准备了一些糖果、 苹果等点心，孩子们则一一收入自己的袋内。

万圣节其实不是基督教的节日。2500年前，爱尔兰的凯尔特人(Celts)以10月31日为一年的最後一日，11月1日是新一年的开始，也象徵冬天的来临。

凯尔特人相信死亡之神Samhain在10月31日的晚上会和鬼魂一起重返人间，寻找替身。因此他们燃点火炬，焚烧动物以作为死亡之神的献礼。还会用动物的头或皮毛做成的服饰打扮自己，发出古怪的声音，使死亡之神认不出自己，避过灾难。这就是今天万圣节化妆舞会的由来。过了当晚，鬼魂回到阴间，一切回复平静。

基督教兴起，教徒沿袭万圣节传统，万圣节的意义慢慢改为纪念为献身於神而死亡的人(holies)。

附带一提，11月2日是墨西哥的鬼节(Los Dias de los Muertos, Day of the Dead)。当天家家户户都烘烤动物造型的面包和煮鸡肉等食物，并在供桌上面放置玩具，以期待早逝的孩童们回到家中玩耍。也可以陈列鲜花、 水果、 照片和彩绘的骷髅头，接待仙逝长辈。

墨西哥人认为，鬼魂和人一样需要及时行乐，所以鬼节宛若一场嘉年华会，人们带着面具到处游走，吃骷髅形状的糖，面包上还装饰有鬼的形像。黄昏时刻，全家人一起到墓园清理墓地，妇女们或跪或坐整夜祈祷，男人们交谈或唱歌，在子夜中烛光忽闪忽灭充满了整个墓园，游唱歌者为已逝亡者的灵魂高歌吟唱。

新的一年开始了，我们仿佛对任何事物都很有新鲜感。新的衣服，新的书本，新的挑战!你想知道我的新计划吗?

一、花钱学问。老师常说“书山有路勤为径，学海无涯苦作舟”、“书是人类进步的阶梯”。所以，今年我打算吧我的“私房钱”用来买《读者》《儿童文学》。零钱来买一些零食吃，而压岁钱就用来当学费、买文具用品。

二、挑战自我，超越极限。因为上学期的骄傲自大，导致期末考试一时疏忽，一时糊涂，一时骄傲，一时马虎，最终“败”给了雨晗!所以，我打算在这个学期里，尽自己最大的努力超越雨晗。另外，我在班里担任班长，所以我也会尽量管理好班级，当老师的好助手和老师与同学之间的桥梁。

三、改掉缺点、大家团结，做个懂事的好孩子。以前的我总是动不动就爱发脾气，在家里，吃好的、穿好的、住好的，就像一个小公主，不知爸妈心里的苦。自从看了电视剧《暖春》，我便打算节约用钱，帮妈妈做家务，减轻爸妈的负担。

是花都要开放，是鸟都要飞翔，是树都要抽枝长叶。不想当将军的士兵就不是好兵。今天，我是参与成功者;明天， 我是成功的参与者!在新的一年里，我们为自己而奋斗吧!

Spring Festival is the most important festival for Chinese people. The Spring Festival is very exciting, especially on the eve of the Spring Festival.

春节对于中国人来说是最重要的节日。在每年的春节都让人兴高采烈，尤其是大年三十那晚，更是达到了高潮。

The Spring Festival lasts for 15 days, there would be starting on the first day, to the end of the January 15 Lantern Festival.it is the busiest time of the year for Chinese people. The arrangements they have to make for family reunions， buying necessities and preparing food keeps them busy throughout the holiday. Many of them travel back home and meet friends over dinner and drinks. The celebrations include decorating the house and setting off fireworks.But we are talking about a tradition that seems to be fading.

春节一共有15天，从大年初一开始，到元月十五元宵节这一天结束。在这段比较长的时间是中国人最忙的时候，他们为家庭聚会作安排，采购年货，准备丰盛的食物，以至于整个春节假期都忙忙碌碌的。许多人在春季期间都要回老家过年，跟朋友碰碰头，聚个餐。庆祝春节也包括大扫除和放烟火。但是我们现在要谈的是越来越淡的年味。

Spring Festival， as it is celebrated today， has undergone many changes， thanks to the country‘s economic development and globalization.

现在的春节已经因为我国经济的发展和全球化的影响而改变了很多。

Yet no Spring Festival is complete without food. People could not get good food whenever they desired in earlier times， something that does not apply to society today. More often than not， people faced the risk of famine. The best time for people to celebrate was when food was available in plenty， and that was possible in spring， or the beginning of the lunar new year. That was the main reason why Spring Festival acquired such great importance among Chinese people.

但是没有哪个春节是完全离得开“吃”的。从前，不论人们提前多久想要买年货，总是不能如愿，而现在早已今非昔比。过去常常还要闹饥荒。人们最好的庆祝时间就是他们能得到食物丰盛的时候，也就是春天或是元月初的那段时间。那也是为什么春节对于中国人如此重要的主要原因。

But three decades of economic growth has ensured that people in China， except for those who are still poor， can enjoy a good meal whenever they want. Such has been the change in people‘s fortune that some have to be treated for obesity and other health problems associated with excessive eating.

但是三十年来的经济发展已经让中国人，除了那些仍然穷苦的人以外，随时都能享受美食。这得益于人民财富的增长，但是后者也导致一些人吃得太多而受到肥胖威胁和健康问题。

In the past， celebrations were limited to events like song-and-dance duets in North China， dragon/lion dances in South China and fireworks， which required the joint efforts of the entire community. But economic development and urbanization seems to have weakened the social links among people. Many， especially those living in cities， are not interested in celebrating the festival with people they hardly know.

在过去，庆祝春节还只停留在北方的二人转和南方的舞龙舞狮等形式。那些庆祝活动往往需要许多人合力才能办得起来。但是经济的发展和国际化程度的提升似乎已经将这种社会联系弱化了。许多人，特别是城市居民，不太愿意与不相识的人一起共度春节。

Many customs associated with Spring Festival have changed， too. In the past， people used to visit relatives and friends with gifts and lots of good wishes. Today， many people， especially the youth， use their cell phones or the Internet to send their good wishes and even "gifts" to their relatives and friends. Some may say this a sign that people have become less caring about their near and dear ones， but we should see this development as a time- and energy-saving exercise granted by the information age.

与春节相关的许多习俗也被改变了。在过去，人们常常会带着礼物走亲访友，互道祝福。今天许多人，特别是年轻人，用手机或是网络向亲朋好友发去“礼物”和祝福。有些人或许会说，这说明人们已经没有那么关心至爱亲朋了，但是我们应该把这种变化看作信息化时代省钱省力的好办法。

In recent times， many people have started praying for a career promotion or more money instead of invoking God or the Buddha for a healthy and long life and the welfare of their family. But the number of such people is decreasing now， which shows that people are becoming more reasonable.

最近几年，许多人开始祈祷事业高升，财源滚滚，而不是求神拜佛，他们身体健康，长命百岁，家庭美满。但是这样的人数现在正在减少，说明人们开始变得更加理性。

Human, science and nature, the three phase was quoted rates are inseparable. The wonders of nature, a little thing, through the baptism of the time, and meticulous observation, often can give a person with enlightenment.

Vast forests, sunshine give plants grace, to be able to get the nutrients and thrive. Such as the morning sun open the eyes of animals, everything is ready. Squirrels, squirrel, embarks from the house, looking for full sweet red pine nuts, all kinds of plant seeds and slowly by seeding them to other places. While the weasel feed on smaller herbivores, sable and then ate the weasel... As if people eat the big fish, big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimp, shrimp eat plankton, interlocking between RACES, interdependence restricts each other.

Foreign scientists have done an experiment: introduce the sheep in a rare nature reserve, where the bamiyan, natural environment is superior, and there is special personnel to the group of kids to their natural enemies, Wolf, moved to another place. So the sheep started in the breeding. Until grass and low shrubs are eaten, the number of sheep instead of less. Because they live too comfortable, there is no enemy attack, the number that is too carefree life let their constitution also fell. Then the scientists tried to introduce wolves again. The result is in the relationship between predator and prey, good robust species to survive, wolves eat sick defect part. Natural selection and evolution, has been the nature and even the survival of human society the same criteria.

Cut down some trees, is to destroy a part of birds and insects; Killing of bees, small fish, can also cause cannot spread pollen, fish cannot reproduce problem... Sabotaged a part of the food chain, will bring ill-defined disaster. Because in front of the natural fair, each species, each independent individual organisms is so beautiful and full of value.

Because of the diversity of species and colorful nature. Want to live in harmony with her and get the kind of treatment, will be good to nature, to understand the nature, and have good at discovering and innovative mind.

人类、科学、自然，这三者相生相息密不可分。大自然的奇妙之处在于：一件小小的事物，经过时间的洗礼以及细致入微的观察，往往能给人以启示。

广袤的森林中，阳光雨露给予植物恩泽，使其能够得到养料然后茁壮成长。等清晨的阳光掀开动物们的眼睛，一切也准备好了。松鼠、灰鼠从居所里出发，寻找饱满香甜的红松子，各种植物的种子于是慢慢的被他们带到其他的地方落地生根。而此时黄鼠狼以体型较小的草食动物为食，紫貂继而吃掉了黄鼠狼……就好像人吃大鱼，大鱼吃小鱼，小鱼吃虾米，虾米又吃浮游生物一样，各种族之间环环相扣，相互依存相互制约着。

外国的科学家曾做过一个实验：将一种稀有的羊引进自然保护区，那里水草丰美，自然环境优越，并且还有专门的人员为这群天之骄子将她们的天敌——狼，迁往另外的地方。于是羊群开始在此生息繁衍。直到草和低矮的灌木被吃光了，羊群的数量反而越来越少。原来是因为它们生活的太过安逸，没有天敌进犯，数量过于膨胀，太过悠闲的生活让它们的体质也下降了。后来科学家们尝试着再一次引进狼群。结果是在捕食者与猎物的关系中，健壮优良的品种得以存活，狼群则吃掉病弱残疾的部分。物竞天择，优胜劣汰，一直都是自然界乃至人类社会不变的生存准则。

砍掉了某种树林，就等于灭绝了一部分鸟类、昆虫;捕杀蜜蜂、幼小鱼类，也会造成花粉无法传播，鱼群无法繁衍的问题……大肆破坏生物链中的某一环，都会带来难以言说的灾难。因为在公平的自然面前，每个物种，每个独立的生物个体都是如此的美丽而富有价值。

大自然因为物种的多样性而五彩缤纷。想要与她和谐相处并得到其慈祥的对待，就要善待自然，了解自然，并拥有一刻善于发现与创新的心。
