我是太阳妈妈的孩子，我的名字叫地球。我以前生活的很快乐：早上一醒来，小雨就“哗啦啦”地给我洗澡;人们在我身上种了很多花草树木，把我打扮得漂漂亮亮的，然后，干干净净的我就围着太阳妈妈转来转去，让太阳妈妈看看我的新裙子。下午，孩子们放学了，就和我一起写作业，一起和我玩。晚上，人们也把我打扮的很漂亮，他们给我身上安上路灯，把我打扮的金灿灿的……太阳妈妈说：“人类还真好，不仅把你打扮的很漂亮，还和你一起玩，你真是太有福气，太幸运了!”

可是现在，人类也不像太阳妈妈说的那么好了。他们在我身上乱扔垃圾，把我搞得浑身脏兮兮的，人类的“车”还爱排放尾气，雨下下来的全是脏水，把我越洗越脏;人们还爱乱砍伐树木花草，破坏路灯，把他们给我的衣服也搞得的烂烂的，脏脏的……太阳妈妈劝我说：“你还是摆脱那些人类吧!”可是好心的我又不忍心丢下他们。因为这件事让我每天吃不好饭，睡不好觉，所以，我就生病了，经常发洪水、地震……还有人说2012年可能是我的末日。人们在这些灾难中，意识到了这都是他们破坏我而造成的，于是他们又开始关心我，爱护我了!我相信以后的日子里，我一定会变得更加美丽、漂亮的!

星期三下午，我考完试回家后，和妈妈一起去公园玩。

到了公园，公园里的空气真是清新，我们沿着河岸边的小路慢慢往前走，远远就望到了几棵盛开着粉红桃花的桃树和翠绿的柳树。桃花如害羞的小姑娘羞红了脸颊，争奇斗艳；柳树舒展着秀发，迎风舞动。

我们继续往前走，看见几个小朋友在草地上蹦蹦跳跳地玩耍，把草坪破坏得乱七八糟，看到他们这样破坏草坪，我心里非常生气。

于是，我就前去驱逐他们，这一路不是看见垃圾，就是看见被折断的柳枝，我下定决心一定要好好教训他们。

我用手拽着他们，严肃地质问：“你们为什么要乱丢垃圾？为什么要折断那些柳枝呢？”他们不仅不反思，还生气了，对不服气地说：“我们这样怎么了？我们只是玩。”听到他们这样说，我更加生气了，说：“你们就能随随便便把大自然弄成这样吗？玩是玩，但你们玩的方式不对，你对得起我们的家园吗？你对得起辛勤劳作的环卫工人吗？”“你这人真多管闲事，我们玩什么，要你管呀，这是我们的事，关你屁事！”

我愤怒了，说道：“怎么不关我的事了？保护环境是靠我们大家，这里的小花小草都有生命，这里的万物都有生命，你们不能这样，保护环境，人人有责，如果破坏我们的环境，就等于破坏我们自己的家园。”听了我的这番话，他们羞愧极了，脸红着说：“对不起，我们再也不敢了，我们知道错了。”看到他们知错就改，我也欣慰了，不枉费我的一番口舌。

只有保护好环境，才能保护我们唯一的乐园。“保护环境，人人有责”，这句警示语我会铭记在心，也希望每个人都铭记在心！

周末，我和爸爸妈妈到十六潭公园游玩，一路上风景如画，路旁的柳树像小姑娘的辫子一样随风舞动，小草偷偷地从地上钻出来，我的心情开心到了极点。

到了十六潭公园，找到一块空地，我铺开蓝色的餐布，妈妈拿出准备好的食物，有水果、鸡腿、鸡翅、零食等，我双眼直直盯着鸡腿，然后一把抢了过来，撕开包装开始狼吞虎咽地吃了起来，一边吃一边问：“妈妈还有吗？”妈妈说：＂吃货，还有呢！＂我吃着把骨头都吐出来，刚好被草丛掩盖了起来。不一会儿，四周的垃圾堆成了小山。

我吃着吃着就看到了一位穿着橙色衣服的清洁工走了过来，弯腰清理着我丢的垃圾，她的一双手黑不溜秋，拿着夹子小心翼翼地把垃圾夹出草丛再用扫帚扫成一堆，接着装进垃圾桶走到垃圾桶边扔了进去。

忽然发现不远处一位小男孩提着两个垃圾袋走到垃圾桶旁踮起脚尖很吃力地把垃圾扔进垃圾桶。顿时我感觉好惭愧，脸开始红了起来，像熟透了的苹果，想起老师对我们讲的＂保护环境，人人有责＂。我就决定以后一定做一个爱护环境的好孩子。、

The summer holiday is coming. I’m going to have a good rest and learn to

relax myself. I will read more useful books because reading more books is not

only interesting but also helps me learn more knowledge. I will try to spend

more time in chatting with my parents and help them to do some housework. I am

going to take part in the social activities so that I can know more about the

society. If possible, I’d like to make a trip to Xiamen. I’m sure I’ll have an

interesting and meaningful summer holiday. I am looking forward to it..

我现在生活在深圳的某小区。位于南山区蛇口，南靠海上世界，北靠深圳湾体育馆，东靠深圳湾口岸，西靠四海公园。这里的环境很好。树木不断增加，使空气新鲜。不过有些人不爱惜这里的环境，比如：抽二手烟会污染空气，而且人吸入这样的空气会对人的肺部受到损害。乱扔垃圾会让人感觉很脏，不整洁，等等。我曾想过几年以后的环境：没有人再抽烟了，也没有人再乱扔垃圾了……树木会越来越多，汽车排出的不再是废气，而是弥漫出奶香的味道。更多的人骑单车，人们流出的汉水散发着香味，这样城市里的空气更清新了。

马路两边种植着各种哦不同的果树：荔枝树，龙眼树，芒果树……想吃的时候直接摘下来就可以吃。每天我们早上都可以看到不同种类的鸟儿，听着美妙的鸟鸣声，像一首首动听的歌儿，嬉戏在这美好的大自然里。在池塘边我看到鱼儿在玩耍，游来游去真快活。

荷叶哥哥看见了也过来凑热闹。荷花姐姐看到了笑不拢嘴。这一刻的情景被记录在摄影师的相机里，为我们以后留下美好的回忆吧！

我希望我的想象能离现实不再遥远，我会时刻提醒身边的人要爱护我们现在的生活环境。这种爱护不是一天两天的事，而是永久的爱！

常熟是一座文化古城，自古以来，它都是以悠久的历史和璀璨的文化闻名于世，这些年来，常熟陆续被授予“国家卫生城市”、“全国环保模范城市”等称号，近几年还被评为了“国际花园城市”，常熟也是全国县级市中第一次获此殊荣的城市。

这些年常熟为我们增添了不少的光彩，但是人们渐渐地，开始并不怎么注意环境卫生了，随手一扔垃圾，随地小便，随地吐痰,扔废旧电池，把一些地方弄得肮脏不堪，更可恨的是，大多数的农民为了贪图省力，在高速公路旁的田里焚烧菜杆，烟雾弥漫在天空中，会影响行使在高速公路上的车辆视线，引发重大交通事故，还有更严重的，我们的自然书上说过：如果，人们再在露天的地方燃烧物品，下个世纪，世界将会升温两度。

这还不算什么，现在环境污染了，动物们也都会死的死，逃的逃，就像我们常熟的阳澄湖大闸蟹，田野里的青蛙，树上的小鸟……同学们，动物也是有血肉的，就这样对待它们，我们的心是否也太狠毒了，动物也是人类的朋友啊！

同学们，为了我们美好的明天，美丽的家园，让你我共同行动起来吧，倾心同护蓝天碧水，携手共建生态常熟！

I had a joyful summer vacation。 During the holidays， I traveled with my families。 We went to Beijing and stayed there for four days。 We lived in the hotel。 It is very beautiful。 We visited to the Tiananmen Square， the Imperial Palace， the Summer Palace and the Old Summer Palace。 We also went to the Great Wall。 The weather was very hot， but we were exciting。 I like Beijing very much。 I hope I can go there again。

环保就是环境保护,让我们有一个良好的生活环境,才会工作愉快身心健康.

由于工商业的进步,带来了各种污染,严重的破坏自然环境,因此做好环保是我们大家的责任,要如何做好环保呢?可从下列各项做起:

一少制造垃圾:买日常用品,最好自备购物袋,以减少垃圾,塑胶袋等不能分解的东西,最好不要使用.

二确实做好垃圾分类:将资源垃圾一般垃圾和厨余做到全分类,资源垃圾可以回收再制成有用的物品,可以减少垃圾,又可以变成新产品,真是一举两得.

三不污染环境,不乱丢垃圾,不制造噪音,不乱鸣喇叭,工厂不乱排污水,汽机车不乱冒黑烟,污染空气,让我们的环境整洁美观.

环保工作,不能只靠政府或某一个人,要靠大家共同努力,做好环保工作,使我们的生活还环境青山常在,绿水长流.

The news that Mr Cai had passed away was known, and I fell into great

sorrow. The sound of the rain knocking on the window was so mournful that it

deepened my distress.

My memory brought me back to the class when I saw him for the last

time.

That evening it was raining, too. We started our lesson as usual at a

quarter past six. I sat in the first row, and I saw Mr Cai press his stomach

with a hand from time to time, but I didn’t know the reason then. The two hours

passed quickly. When the lesson came to an end,Mr Cai told us that he had

possibly developed a stomach cancer, and would go to Beijing to see a doctor. If

there was nothing serious, he would continue to teach us after he came back. He

was very calm and his voice was steady. He still gave us some homework. He said

that he would mark the papers as soon as he came back.

Then I started to wait for his return. I had not thought that I would not

see him any more. The cancer had taken his life, even though he was still

young.

Mr Cai’s words are still ringing in my ears,“I hope you will be one of the

best students.” I think I should work hard at English and live up to his

expectation .

I have lost a good teacher. Tears will dry up in time, but the memory will

stay for ever.

All our life, we will meet all kinds of difficulties, we have to face them

and fix them, that is what our parents tell us. Indeed, life is a journey, we

will meet different people and confront with distress, most people feel uneasy

when fail comes, they think there is no hope in life. Well, we are always told

that life is still going on even though we face difficulty. Why don’t we smile

with life, since we there is no way to avoid frustration, the only way we can do

is to embrace what life brings for us, no matter what happens, just smile,

everything will be alright.

My English Study

How time flies! My three-year middle school life will be over soon。 Looking back， I have many memories of my English study。

When I entered the middle school， I had so many difficulties with my English。 I was not able to understand the teacher in class， and I couldn’t master the words and phrases。 For a time I wanted to give it up。 Later， with the help of the teacher and my classmates， I listened to the teacher carefully in class， kept on reading English every day and spoke as much as possible。 Step by step I made great progress in English。

In a word， only when you develop interest in studying English can you learn it well。

Environmental protection, the subject, is a household name, everyone knows. But in real life, some people still dont too seriously, think small, in my opinion, environmental protection should start from the pretty little things. I have experienced such two things: one day, I go to the supermarket to buy things, quickly to the door of the supermarket, see several send out flyers, see to, see cars, but some people dont, casually throw on the ground, I used the paper in the trash. Saw the two men, the propaganda time with glue on the wall, from a distance, like pieces of "psoriasis" while they do not pay attention to, and I took out my skills "tearing work", ha ha, I get rid of a large "psoriasis" is. At another time, I play in the bottom of a floor, find the distance on the grass up whereas white smoke, a closer look, it turns out that there is a group of children in our class burning grass, grass black a large, I hurriedly stop as a big brother, and about the dangers of fire and the importance of environmental protection. They are ashamed, quickly the coming water from the nearby end extinguish fire, finished burning grass action.

We human beings are living on a planet, that is the earth. On earth, have for the oxygen we breathe, there are dense forests, vast grasslands, boundless sea, all kinds of animals, constitute the beauty of nature.

I think loudly called on the people: the earth belongs to our human, belongs to all of us, as long as with our hands, starts from me, starts from everyone, protect the environment, the love of the earths natural resources, make clear pond water still flowed in the home, flowers in full bloom the flowers still.

Human ah, should be time to wake up, open your eyes and look around us, this is our home, let us from now on, wash his with their own hands, with their own wisdom, with their own conscience, for our children and grandchildren keep a harmonious and beautiful homeland, let us make an efforts to us from generation to generation for survival!

环境保护，这个话题，可以说是家喻户晓，人人皆知。但在现实生活中，一些人还是不太重视，认为微不足道，在我看来，环保要从件件小事做起。我就经历过这样两件小事：有一天，我去超市买东西，快到超市门口时，看见有几个散发宣传单的，见人就给，见车就放，可是有些人却不要，随手就扔地上，我过去将纸扔进垃圾箱里。又看见两个人用胶水将宣传单贴在墙上，远远望去，活像一块块“牛皮癣”趁他们不注意，我又拿出我的绝活“撕纸功”，哈哈，“牛皮癣”被我除掉了一大片。还有一次，我在楼底玩，发现远处草地上冒出了缕缕白烟，走近一看，原来，是我们班一群小孩在那里点火烧草，草黑了一大片，我以大哥哥的身份连忙制止，并讲了火灾的危险性和环保的重要性。他们羞愧难当，赶忙从附近端来水把火熄灭，结束了烧草行动。

我们人类都生活在一个星球上，那就是地球。地球上，有供我们呼吸的氧气，还有茂密的森林、辽阔的草原、无边无际的海洋、各种各样的动物，构成了美丽的大自然。

我想大声呼吁人们：地球属于我们人类，属于我们大家，只要用我们的双手，从我做起，从人人做起，保护环境，爱护地球上的自然资源，让清澈的塘水依旧流淌在家乡，让花儿依旧那样鲜花盛开。

人类啊，是应该觉醒的时候了，睁开眼，看看我们的周围，这是我们的家园啊，让我们从此金盆洗手，用自己的双手，用自己的智慧，用自己的良心，为我们的子子孙孙留下一个和谐、美丽的家园吧，让我们为我们世世代代的绵延生存做出一份努力吧!

现在我们的地球应经收到了极大的危害，我们不要破坏环境要植树造林不要砍伐树木。这样我们的地球才会变得更美丽。

美丽的地球应经不再美丽了。以前蓝蓝的天空和洁白云朵都去哪了？是在和我们玩捉迷藏，是故意躲着我们还是因为不保护环境造成的？天上的星星上哪去了？小熊星·北斗七星你们上哪了|？是被天空的灰尘遮住了吗？以前清新甜润的空气哪去了是应为人类大量砍伐树木而消失的吗？大地上的花草以经很少了，都是应为因为人们乱砍伐树木，残花草造成的吗？水已经变成黑色的了，这又是因为什么？

为了保护我们的空气，要植树造林·不砍伐树木不骑电动车，摩托车，小汽车。应为摩托车和小汽车污染空气，电动车浪费电。家里放几盆吊兰可以净化空气，电脑旁放一盆仙人球可以防辐射。

我们不要污染水，我们要节约用水。不忘合理扔垃圾，不把书污水倒到河里。

我们不要乱扔垃圾。我们要把能重新利用的垃圾扔到可回收的垃圾箱里，把不能重新利用的垃圾扔到不可回收的垃圾箱里比如电池就是不可回收的垃圾。如果把电池扔到地上会污染六百立方米的水，一个缪口大的电池可以污染六十万升水一节一号电池烂在地里能使一平方的土地失去利用价值。

我希望以后的地球会很美丽。每天除了晚上都有蓝蓝的天空，洁白的云朵，空气清新调润。地上有许多花草树木。大树就像一个个威武的士兵。河水清澈减低，情的能看见水里的小鱼。

我们要保护环境不要破坏环境，如果破坏环境后果不堪设想。

With the development of the Internet， many people are used to shopping

online。 It has become a fashion in our daily life。 Some of us students also join

the group.

Shopping online has many advantages. Just by a click of the mouse， you can

buy what you’re interested in without going outdoors。 You can avoid getting

tired and being trapped in the crowded people and cars and save time。 When

shopping online， you can choose from more varieties of goods， whose prices are

generally lower.

Every coin has two sides。 Its disadvantages are obvious， too.On the one

hand， it’s very easy for you to buy goods different from the pictures you see on

the Internet。 On the other hand， shopping online may cause people to buy goods

that are not badly needed.That’s a waste of money.

All in all， I love shopping online.

Many people believe that we have developed into a “throw-away society” which is filling with plastic bags and rubbish. What do you think?

Wind blows up bags higher and higher in the sky. It is a scary thought that some day the earth will turn into a huge garbage land. Wastes, if not treated properly, will make our life a living nightmare.

The environmental issue is getting worse almost every day in cities with very large population. As is often the case, city development outpaces environmental protection. People consume great amount of natural resources and produce wastes. To effectively address such problems, cities need to spend big money. In addition, they need to call to the attention of people to become more environmentally responsible.

Many people are becoming less responsible and easily influenced by bad behaviors. “Why should I care while others shouldn’t?” Such idea makes some people only concern with places where they live and work. Furthermore, people sometimes even purposely litter for revenge to other people.

Although media promotes environmental awareness, good people are often snubbed as posers who try to set up a superior image in real life. Consequently, they are intimated of receiving negative comments for doing the right thing. Wrong as it is, such phenomenon is widespread especially among youngsters and people with low income and little education.

However, our society is waging a campaign against environmental pollution. People learn the harms of un-degradable lunch boxes and other polluting wastes. Laws in many countries prohibit or limit excessive use of polluting bags. Companies are continually replacing the old materials with more environmental friendly and recyclable kinds. Scientists have developed more effective technologies in waste treatment. As time goes by, more and more people put high priority on the protection of environment for a healthier life.

To sum up, people produce huge amount of garbage and the environment is seriously polluted because of lack of financial resources, sense of responsibility, or efforts. But the world will not turn into a “throw away” society if people put in sufficient efforts to protect our environment.

Humans have only one earth. He is the cradle of life, is the homeland of all mankind. However, the environmental pollution and ecological destruction have on human social and economic development and peoples normal life constitutes the real threat. Take good care of the environment, advocate civilization, is the human moral and responsibility.

We want to clean the earth, eager to healthy earth, eager to the homes of environmental protection, eager to green, health, community health... Let us use love to pay attention to changes in the environment, with passion to spread the idea of environmental protection, with actions to shoulder the important task of environmental protection. Starts from me, start from now, intravenous drip minor matter, starts from the side the environmental commitment into action.

Remember, protect the earth, is to protect ourselves.

人类只有一个地球。他是生命的摇篮，是人类共有的家园。然而，环境污染与生态破坏已经对人类的社会经济发展和人们的正常生活构成了现实威胁。爱护环境，崇尚文明，无疑是人类自身的道义和责任。

我们渴望干净的地球，渴望健康的地球，渴望环保的家园，渴望绿色，健康，卫生的社区……让我们用爱心去关注环境的变化，用热情去传播环保的观念，用行动肩负起环保的重任。从我做起，从现在做起，从身边的点滴小事做起，把环保承诺变为实际行动。

记住，保护地球，就是保护我们自己。

The earth is our home and we have the duty to take care of it for ourselves and for our later generations. Fortunately, more and more people have realized these problems. Measures have been taken to cope with these problems by the government. Laws have been passed to stop pollution. I hope the problem will be solved in the near future and our home will become better and better

Harmony with the environment is that we live in on Earth, who is a natural son, and not only to natural persons as the conqueror, as we all know, there is only one earth and the mountains on Earth, the animals. Plant human cells, if it damaged, destroyed nature organizations, to the eradication of mankind. Therefore, the environment must be linked with social ethics, character education and practice acts as an important element of it. Everyone must fulfil its responsibilities and obligations to protect the environment.

译文：地球是我们的家，我们有责任照顾它为我们自己和后代。幸运的是，越来越多的人已经意识到这些问题。已采取措施来对付这些问题的政府。法律已经通过了停止污染。我希望这个问题将得到解决在不久的将来，我们的家园会越来越好

与环境和谐的是，我们生活在地球上，谁是自然的儿子，不仅自然人作为征服者，我们都知道，只有一个地球和地球上山脉的动物。人类细胞植物，如果它损坏，销毁性质组织，以消灭人类。因此，必须在环境与社会伦理，品德教育和实践行为的重要组成部分它。每个人都必须履行其责任和义务来保护环境。

The animal is the friend of our human beings. We live in the same earth.

Animals and human beings can’t be separated from each other. But some animals

are getting less and less. So it’s necessary for us to protect animals,

especially wild animals. Some people kill wild animal because of money. It’s

illegal. Beside, because of the development of society, human needs more space

to live in, so we explore the forest. Animals have less space to live in. The

number of wild animals decreases year by year. It’s high time to take actions to

protect wild animals.

In recent years ninny cities are faced with the problem of heavy traffic.

People have to waste more time on their way home or to work and even might be

involved in an acci dent. With the development of industry and population

expansion, this problem becomes more and more serious.

One solution is to lay down more roads. The solution has many advantages.

For ex ample, it can efficiently decrease the number of buses and trucks in many

main streets. But it will take up so much land that crowded cities become more

crowded. Another solu tion is to open up more bus lines. If more bus lines

should be opened up,the number of bicles and cars in the main streets would be

greatly decreased. But the disadvantage of this solution is that many people

wouldn’t feel so convenient os they used to.

In my opinion, the right solution to the problem is the combination of the

two, thatis, to lay down more roads in spacious areas and to open up more bus

lines in downtown.
