My Mother
My mother is just over fifty, a little bit older than our republic nation, so she has experienced two periods just like our country, showing both the traditional goodness and modern ideas.
Like all mothers, she is responsible and devotes most of her efforts to our family. So sometimes I feel regretful for her to give up her work, but she thinks it is the proper social role for a woman to be a housewife. She is satisfied with the family members' achievements. She insists on keeping her children under her wings. You see how traditional she is.
However, since she is intelligent①and has received the high education, it is easy for her to accept something new. In recent years, she is interested in the stock②. Therefore, she cares about the political and economic③ situation of the country and the world, and actively collects information of the companies whose stocks she bought. What is more, she is a fan of the Argentine④football team. So she was very sad after the defeat of this team in the 14th World Cup Tournament ⑤.
I love my mother, just because she loves me. Since we share some interests such as playing chess, we get chances to communicate⑥with each other, which makes us close friends.

【写法指要】
这是一篇介绍家庭成员的说明文。本文是典型的启、承、转、合结构的文章。“启”就是开始,即引言段,作者在该段写出篇题:“showing both traditional goodness and modern ideas”,指出“母亲”既保持了传统美德,又接受了现代意识。“承”即接续之意,也就是扩充引言段篇题方面的内容。本文第二段写“母亲”的传统美德,就是“承”的段落。“转”是用来表示与第二段相反或不同意见的内容,常用“however,but”等词语来表达。本文第三段即为“转”段,它说明篇题的第二层意思,也就是“母亲”的现代意识。所谓“合”就是结束,即指结尾段,该段往往综合前三段内容,对全文做一总结。本文作者总结说,由于母亲和自己的情趣相同,所以他们相亲相爱,如同亲密无间的朋友似的。

A clear day, warm in the sun on the body, soft spring breeze brush his face, both warm and comfortable: the rainy day, bursts of spring thunder exploding from time to time, both thrilling and exciting.
Spring scenery is so beautiful, spring, the mood even more beautiful. Rickets an entire winter backs straight, and cheerful smile full of hope. Parks and lively up, photography of young people, old people fishing, catching insects, children, one by one intoxicated in the arms of nature, linger.

The walls of the classroom close to the new semester curriculum, books and new books, there are a lot of knowledge of many waiting for us to pick fruit.

They survive in some of the coldest environments in the world - but even penguins appreciate a warm woolly jumper once in a while.
The mini knitted garments have helped save hundreds of flightless birds caught in oil spills providing protection from the elements and stopping them from ingesting poisonous pollution.
Knits for Nature a program run by The Penguin Foundation which conserves the little penguin population of Phillip Island 140km south-east of Melbourne has created up to 300 different designs over the years - and its all thanks to talented volunteers.
‘There’s a lot of hidden creativity out there said Lyn Blom of the Phillip Island Nature Park.
People love to know that they’re helping the penguins because they’re so cute and small and they waddle up the beach and they’re so feisty. But they need to be they live in a pretty tough sort of environment.’
A thumbnail-sized patch of oil can kill little penguins the smallest of the species measuring just 13 inches (33cm) and weighing 2.2lbs (1kg). The oil separates and mats their feathers breaking natural waterproofing and heating functions.
Ms Blom estimates she has knitted between 200 and 300 penguin jumpers over the years including ones in the colours of every Australian Rules football team in the country.
A staff member read an article in an English women’s magazine about knitting for guillemot birds and decided to adapt the designs.
‘There’s an awful lot of ladies out there who used to knit for their children and grandchildren. These ladies have spare wool and idle hands and they love to feel loved and needed and we love and need them’ said Ms Blom.
The Penguin Foundation recently staged a competition for the most creative jumper which received an enthusiastic response.
The Penguin Foundation rescues approximately 20 birds a year. They even have a stockpile of jumpers in case of emergency - such as the large oil spill near Phillip Island in 2001.
In that instance 453 Little Penguins were affected 96 percent of which were saved - most thanks to the jumpers.
【参考译文】
企鹅在世界上最寒冷的环境下生存,但有时候它们也渴望有一件温暖的毛衣。
由于石油泄露,企鹅们很可能接触到石油中的微量元素,甚至误食这些有毒的污染物。而迷你毛衣能给它们很好的保护,成功拯救了数百只企鹅。
为了保护菲利普岛(墨尔本东南部140千米处)上的小企鹅,企鹅基金会发起了为企鹅织毛衣的活动。到目前为止,基金会已经设计了300多种不同的毛衣款式,这都要感谢心灵手巧的志愿者们。
菲利普岛上自然公园的工作人员布洛姆说:“我们发现了很多隐藏的创意。”
“人们愿意帮助企鹅,因为它们又小又可爱,活跃极了。在沙滩上摇摆着身体走动时,它们又显得那么坚强。 这又是必然的,毕竟它们生活在这么恶劣的条件下。”
一滩指甲盖大小的石油就足以杀死一只小企鹅。最小的企鹅大概只有13英寸(33厘米)长,体重2.2磅(1千克)。石油会使得它们的羽毛缠结在一起且分散开,这样羽毛就失去了防水和保温的作用。
布洛姆自己就织了大约两到三百件毛衣,她还制作了一个毛衣系列,采用的是澳大利亚所有足球队的代表颜色。
之所以采用毛衣,是因为基金会的一名员工在一本女性杂志上看到了一篇给海鸟织毛衣的文章,随后就决定模仿这一设计。
布洛姆说:“许多女性朋友为自己的孩子织毛衣,她们乐意帮助我们,也会提供多余的毛线和手工,她们喜欢这种被爱被需要的感觉。基金会也非常感谢和需要她们。”
最近,企鹅基金会举办了一场“最具创意毛衣”大赛,获得了不错的反响。
每年,企鹅基金会拯救的企鹅大约在20只。他们甚至还有毛衣储备以应对紧急情况,比如2001年菲利普岛附近的大规模石油泄露事件。
那次事件中,453只企鹅受到了影响,当中96%的企鹅获救——最大的功臣就是毛衣了。
