My whole family to yunnan travel, swim many scenic spots in yunnan is very famous, such as lijiang, shangri-la, in the big... But there is a scenic spot to let me the most amazing, the most difficult to forget, it is the stone forest.

Yunnan is known as the stone of the world. Into the stone forest, feel like they are in the fairyland.

The stone forest in the early morning mist is different. Close look at it like plumes, darkened the wonderful scenery of the day now. A gust of wind blowing, clouds disperse, a variety of wonderful scenery in sight. Look far, like a rough sea. Exposing a little sharp peaks, asing if is a desert island in the sea.

We continue to follow the tour guide, deeper the more cold, at that moment I felt a chill, one after another came to sneeze. Walking, the guide stopped suddenly, one hand high, pointing to the distant mountains, side is introduced. Originally, the towering majestic mountain is called "lotus peak". I take a closer look at the lotus peak, its shape is like a blooming lotus flower, the shape of the stone as pieces of petals, on a narrow width. With a large lotus stone, vivid. Such a wonderful "lotus peak," how can I not take it home, "click", "" lotus peak is moved, I decided to, be sure to permanently preserved the beauty.

Along the way, qifeng rocks upright. Suddenly, I saw a piece of stone, across the cliff, is difficult, the fall down in succession. But dad told me that the peak has across the cliff for millennia, there has been no break down, the stone is called "the wind stone".

Through this trip, I learned that some books to school less than, it is the most beautiful scenery in the ghost town, beautiful scenery of stone forest forever in my heart.

我们全家人到了云南旅游,云南游许多风景名胜都是十分有名的,如丽江、香格里拉、大里……但有一个景点让我最惊叹,最难忘了,它就是——石林。

云南以石头闻名世界。走进石林,有种身临仙境的感觉了。

清晨,石林的雾还真是与众不同。近看它像缕缕青烟,把那奇妙的风景遮得朦朦浓浓。一阵大风吹过,云雾散开,种种奇妙的风景浮现在眼前。远看,像一片波涛汹涌的大海。山峰露出一个小尖,仿佛是海里的一个荒岛。

我们继续跟着导游往前走,越往深处越冷,这时一股冷气向我袭来,一个又一个的喷嚏就跟过来了。走着走着,导游突然停了下来,一只手高高地指着远处的山峰,一边介绍着。原来,那座巍峨雄伟的山叫“莲花峰”。我仔细瞧瞧那莲花峰,它形状似一朵盛开的莲花,石头的形状如同一片片花瓣:上窄下宽。用一个个石头组成一朵大莲花,形态逼真。这么奇妙的“莲花峰”我怎能不把它带回家,“咔嚓”一声,“莲花峰’就搬家了,我决定,一定要把这个美景永久地保存下来。

一路上,奇峰怪石竖立着。忽然,我看见一块石头,横跨在石壁上,十分险恶,眼看就快掉下来了。可爸爸告诉我,这块怪石已经横跨峭壁上千年了,一直没有砸下来,这块石头就叫做“风吹石”。

通过这次旅行,让我认识到了一些课本上学不到的东西,这么美丽的景色真让人留连忘返,美丽的石林景色永远铭记在我心中。

I took a trip to Shanghai with my mother during the seven-day holiday. It took us more than two hours to drive to Shanghai from my home in Haimen. We stayed in a large hotel on the eighth floor.

On the first day, I just stayed in the hotel and rested. On the second day, my brother and I went to Nanjing Road. It’s the busiest street in Shanghai. When we got there, there were lots of people.

We walked from one shop to another. I bought two T-shirts and two pairs of trousers for the coming summer. The T-shirts and trousers I bought are all white because white is my favourite colour.

I love traveling. Traveling not only broadens my horizons but also opens my eyes to the world.

Whats more, it refreshes me. You can go to Disneyland and experience what its like to be “a child again!” You can visit one of the “seven wonders of the world,” such as the Grand Canyon and feel the magnificence of nature! You can taste the “magicial” ice water on a glacier, which can help you bee more beautiful and make you live longer. Just forget all trifles and burdens that you have in your mind. Experience is a type of living knowledge.

Youll be sure to experience many new things when traveling. You dont even need a tour guide if you long for more freedom. Just dont forget to bring your backpack!

It Pays to Be Honest

Once a child asked such a question: What can I benefit from being "a good child"? Among the many answers he received one ran like this: "A good child" is the most precious gift God gives to you. And the same can be said for being honest. It pays to be honest.

Yes, its true that dishonesty exists almost everywhere in the society. Consumers often found themselves being blackmailed by those merchants selling shoddy products; and there are students

cheating in order to pass the exams or get high marks; moreover, we are not short of examples that many rich professionals evade the taxes by sacrificing the interests of government.

But havent we seen their results? "A fall into the pit, a gain in customers wit", which would surely drive those dishonest merchants out of business. Regret of wasting time yet being

empty-handed would accompany those dishonest students all their life. On the contrary, we could have all they lost, especially a good reputation and a clear conscience, which are the best qualities of human beings. Thats why we say "It Pays to Be Honest".

美国,一个历史只有两百年的国家却比许多历史悠久的国家更强大。这一次,我就来到美国,参观了他们自由精神的象征——自由女神像。

自由女神像全名为:自由女神铜像国家纪念牌,位于纽约市的海港内,用金属制造,是法国在1876年赠送给美国独立100周年的礼物(其实是因为:当时英国和法国是敌对关系,美国和英国也是敌对关系,所以,法国认为帮助美国就相当于打英国)。

我们来到了纽约的海港,一上船,海风就朝我们吹过来,“春风”拂面,有一种神清气爽的感觉。

“翁……翁……”船开始颤抖,紧接着,船两岸的建筑物动了。哦!不是,是船开动了。这时船的左侧出现了自由女神像。很明显,自由女神像是绿色的,她穿这连衣裙,举着火炬,高高的耸立在海边上。从远看,她就像一个小孩,举着火炬,脸上布满了欢笑,庆祝这美国独立100周年。好像在说:美国独立100年了!

船开始渐渐逼近自由女神像,自由女神像“越来越大”,这时,我清楚地看到,她得头上还戴着一个“皇冠”,皇冠上的“柱子”和“皇冠”成垂体,搭配的非常完美。

这时,从近看,她又像一个美若天仙的少女,高举着象征着自由的火炬,庆祝美国独立100周年这一美妙的时刻。

美国,一个神秘的国家,在那里还有很多类似于自由女神像的建筑物,等待着你的参观。

Responsible travel is very well expressed in the famous travelers saying: Take nothing but pictures, leave nothing but footprints, kill nothing but time. Travelling is every one’s way of getting away from the hustle and bustle of life and sometimes, because we are so engrossed in our desire to enjoy and have fun, we tend to forget that the we only have one earth to live on and that we are all responsible for it. Very often, we are not conscious enough to realize that one little candy wrapper that we threw outside the bus while travelling could one day contribute to the blocking of the drainage system and could cause flooding in the area; we are not aware enough of the fact that the litter we throw away carelessly might one day turn the place into a trash dump; we are not considerate enough to see the tree we attempt to climb might be over 500 years old and can hardly bear our weight.

I think we should understand that travelling should not be seen as something that is human-centered.

It should be understood that when we travel, we should feel honored that we could still see and enjoy the beauty of the world.

We, as a human being, should be responsible for the few of the remaining beautiful places in this planet. Being responsible doesn’t necessarily mean that we are required to do something grand for the environment. It’s those little things that matter the most. If everybody starts doing those little things, I bet it could change the world.

Dishonesty in Tourism

1. 近年来旅游行业中不诚信现象比较普遍

2. 出现这一现象的原-因

3. 我对这一现象的看法和建议

Since 1980s, the economy of China has developed greatly. With more money in their pockets, people are spending more money on travelling, which has brought prosperity to tourism. Nevertheless, many travel agencies or agents are reported to cheat their customers and make money in a dishonest way.

The reason for dishonesty in tourism is various. First and for most, money is the spur. Some travel agencies use all means to cheat their customers in order to get more money. Secondly, to survive in the fierce competition, travel agencies have to make enough profits. To realize profit maximization, they cheat. Last but not least, their victims seem to have little sense of defending their rights.

To regulate travel agencies and protect the rights of tourists, the government has issued various laws. However, I think tourists can take the following tips to avoid travel scams. First, choose a trustworthy travel agency for your trip. Secondly, use your common sense and keep alert while travelling. Finally, defend yourself if your rights are violated.

Based on historical documents, modern survey and statistics, as well as the result of predecessor studies, the trend and main process of forest dynamics are recognized. The forest area and forest coverage rates for each province of China from 1700 to 1949 are es- timated backward by every 50 years. Linking the result with modern National Forest Inventory data, the spatial-temporal dynamics of Chinese forest in recent 300 years (AD 1700–1998) is quantitatively analyzed. The study shows that in recent 300 years, the forest area in current territory of China has declined by 0.95×108 hm2 (or 9.2% of the coverage rate) in total, with a trend of decrease and recovery. Before the 1960s, there was a trend of accelerated de- scending. The forest area was reduced by 1.66×108 hm2 (or 17% of the coverage rate) in 260 years. While after the 1960s, there has been a rapid increase. The forest area increased by 0.7×108 hm2 (or 8% of the coverage rate) in 40 years. The study also shows that there is a significant spatial difference in the dynamics of forest. The amplitudes of increasing and de- creasing in western China are both smaller than the ones in eastern China. During the rapid declining period from 1700 to 1949, the most serious decrease appeared in the Northeast, the Southwest and the Southeast, where the coverage rate in most provinces dropped over 20%. In Heilongjiang Province, the coverage rate dropped by 50%. In Jilin Province, it dropped by 36%. In Sichuan Province and Chongqing Municipality, it dropped by 42%. In Yunnan Prov- ince, it dropped by 35%. During the recovery period 1949–1998, the western provinces, mu- nicipality and autonomous regions, including Ningxia, Gansu, Inner Mongolia, Si- chuan–Chongqing, Yunnan, Tibet, Xinjiang and Qinghai, etc, the increase rates are all below 5%, while the eastern provinces, municipality and autonomous regions (except Heilongjiang, Hubei, Jiangsu–Shanghai) have achieved an increase over 5%, among which the Guang- dong–Hainan, Guangxi, Anhui, Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei, Shandong, Henan, Zhejiang, and Fu- jian have an increase over 10%. 有关介绍美国的英语作文篇2

A history of long and effortless success can be a dreadful handicap,but,if properly handled,it may become a driving force.When the United States entered just such a glowing period after the end of the Second World War,it had a market eight times larger than any competitor ,giving its industries unparalleled economies of scale.Its scientists were the worlds best,its workers the most skilled.American and Americans were prosperous beyongd the dreams of the Europeans and Asians whose economeics the war had destroyed.

It was inevitable that this primacy should have narrowed as other countries grew richer.Just as inevitably,the retreat from predominace proved painful.By the mid 1980s Americans had found themselves at a losss over their fading industrial competitiveness.Some huge American industries,such as consumer electronics,hand shrunk or vanished in the face of foreign competitiong.By 1987 there was only one American television maker left,Zenith.(Now there is none :Zenith was bought by SouthKoreasLGElectronics in July.)Foreign made cars and textiles were sweeeping into the domestic market.Americas machine-tool industry was on the ropes.For a while it looked as though the makeing of semiconductors,whidh America had invented and which sat at the heart of the new computer age,was going to be the next caualty.

All of this caused a crisis of confidenc.Americans stopped taking prosperity ofr granted .They began to believe that their way of doing business was failing,and that their incomes would therefore shourtly begin to fall as well .The mind -1980s brought one inquiry after another into the causes ofAmericas in dustrial decline.Thir sometimes sensational findings were filled with warnings about the growing competitiong from overseas.

How things have changed!I1995 the United States can look back on five years of solid growth while Japan has been struggling.Few Americans attribute this Self doubt has yielded to blind pride.American industry has changed its structure ,has gone on a diet ,has learnt to be more quik witted,according to Richard Cavanagh,executive dean of Harvards Kennedy School of Government.It makes me proud to be an American just to see how our businesses are improving theirproductivity,says Stephen Moore of the Cato Institute ,a think tank in Washington,DC,And William Sahlman of the Harvard Business School believes that people will look back on this perido as a golden age of business management in the United States.
