以公平教育为话题的英语作文【通用20篇】

“一张醒目的纸巾安静地躺在地上，你会弯腰捡起么” ？这一问题近日由杭州某初中二百三十二名新生用真实行动给出答案：“不，我们不会”。

这一回答另全社会震惊，想知道为何会给出这样的答案，是学生们太紧张，忽略了纸巾？还是学生们本着“事不关己高高挂起”的原则将拾起纸巾这一“分内事”交给校工？抑或是根本懒得弯下腰拾起纸巾？由于纸巾位置摆放讲究，第一种解释的可能性微乎其微，其余的解释虽然可部分归结于学生尚且年幼，放任了自己的惰性，以致不愿捡起一张纸巾，但毋庸置疑，道德感可以战胜懒惰，究其根本是学生缺乏道德教育，没有充分培养起做为一个学生应具备的社会责任感。

不可否认，当今的教育虽然颇受诟病，但依旧人才辈出。上有清华学神韩衍隽、复旦门萨女神张安琪，下有音乐神童、珠心算神童…..可诸多“男神女神神童”中，界定标准关乎道德的却寥寥无几。学生的责任不应止步于学习！钱理群先生曾经用“精致的利己主义者”来批评事业成功而道德缺乏的人，而当今道德教育的不到位，隐然有“精致的利己主义者” 大批兴起之势。

我不禁要呼喊“快来！道德教育”！我们的教育，严格要求数理化不落于人后，极力确保全才与专才同时出现，却独独对道德教育松懈再松懈，杭州这一中学二百三十二人的视而不见，为我们敲响了警钟。上世纪八十年代，面对经济上的落后，我们知耻而后勇以“经济发展为第一要义”的口号埋首苦干，三十余年后国富力强的今天，面对道德教育的缺失，我们是否会拿出同样的决心，痛定思痛，加速加强道德教育的建设？这比经济建设的任务更艰巨，影响力也更深远！

深泉学院创始人卢西恩曾冀许他的学员们拥有这样的使命感：“无私的运用你的能力，让这社会更美好”。这一愿望的达成必定建立在极强的社会责任感上，而责任感的形成离不开道德教育。一个有充分道德教育的恶民族软实力必定不凡！

让我们一起呼唤道德教育的上位，使金龙腾飞！

导语：随着秋冬季节来临,雾霾天气也越来越严重,尤其是华北黄淮地区。雾霾天气是一轮接着一轮,市民只能等风来,靠冷空气吹散雾霾。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!

When winter comes, the topic of haze will never be ignored. When it comes, many pictures will be showed. People make fun of these pictures and they actually laugh at themselves, living with these poison air. Even in the daytime, people can’t see their faces beyond 10 meters. Many schools choose to stop the class and let the students stay at home. It is obvious that haze is a great threat to people’s health. This new type of destruction is the result of polluted environment. Businessmen chase for the profit and take the cost of polluting the environment. Now their offspring have to suffer from it. It is never too late to do something to protect our earth.

【参考翻译】

当冬季来临的时候，阴霾的话题永远不会被忽略。当雾霾到来的时候，人们会为它拍摄很多图片，之后再取笑这些照片。但是他们实际上嘲笑的是他们自己，因为他们生活在这些有毒的空气里。即使在白天，如果超过10米的话，人们都会看不见他人的脸。许多学校选择停课，让学生呆在家里。很明显，雾霾严重威胁到人们的健康。这种新型的破坏是环境污染的后果。商人们追求以污染环境为代价的利润，现在他们的后代都得遭受到恶果。现在为保护我们的地球付出努力还为时不晚。

导语：在日常生活中，如果我们跟朋友相处融洽，我们的心情也会更加愉悦。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!

In our daily life, if we get on harmoniously with our friends, we’ll feel more joyous. But we’ll feel lonely without friends.When our friends feel upset or get ill, we shouldn’t ignore them or look down upon them. On the contrary, we ought to calm them down, show our love and concern to them and try our best to help them overcome the hardships. Sometimes we may have some misunderstandings or disagreements with our friends, thus we had better have a discussion with them and try to accept their good ideas instead of quarreling with them. As long as we can follow these good suggestions, we’ll find it easy to make more friends.

【参考译文】

在日常生活中，如果我们跟朋友相处融洽，我们的心情也会更加愉悦。然而若是没有朋友则会觉得孤单。当我们的朋友忧伤或是生病时，我们不应冷落或轻起他们，相反地，我们要帮他们平抚心情，尽自己最大的努力关心他，帮助他渡过难关。有时候我们会与朋友产生误会，发生分歧，这时我们最好是跟朋友好好谈谈而不要争吵，尽量理解他的好的想法。只要我们遵循这些建议，我们会发现想要结交更多的朋友很简单。

It is quite common for parents to beat their children,because they think eating is a good way to make children learn and behave well.One of my neighbors made a very strict demand on his son and scolded him bitterly or smacked(稍带特定味道) him whenever he was lazy or disobedient(违抗命令的).To justify(辩解) what he did,he said,” spare the rod and ruin the child.”

Actually beating is a violent way of treating children.It does more harm and causes more hurt than good to children’s physical and psychological health.However,beating children is common occurrence(出现) in our life.Many children become disable because their parents hit them too hard.Some lost their hearing and some became lame(跛脚的).Some children develop an internal(内在的) hatred(憎恨) for their parents and protest(抗议) by running away from home.Others may become so fearful of their parents that they tremble(发抖) at the sight of their angry parents.A mother,for example,even went so far as to beat her son to death because she was not satisfied with his study.Likewise(同样地),it is not unusual that the child murdered(凶杀) his parents because of the extreme contradiction(矛盾) between them.How can children learn and grow healthily under such circumstance(环境)?

Quite often parents will be torn by pangs(剧痛) of regret(懊悔) and remorse(自责) after they have beaten their children.They feel very sad in the rest of their lives.But it is already too late.How can they bring their handicapped(有生理缺陷的) child back to healthy one?How can they relieve(减轻) pains in their children’s heart so easily?We can say beating hurts both children and parents.It is absolutely a bad way to make children learn and behave well.

Exactly speaking,children are also human beings.They have self-respect and should be respected.

Varieties of electronic gadgets, without which some of us cant live, come into being. Despite their conveniences, they bring people much stress, so people have to balance their advantages and disadvantages before buying them.

I cant agree more with the author. With the development of science and technology, more and more fantastic electronic gadgets come into being, which dazzles people. People cant resist the temptation to buy and update them since these gadgets become outdated too quickly.

I have a lot of favourite electronic gadgets， one of which is a video MP3. As well as carrying my favourite music， a video MP3 player can play up to 150 hours of movies and TV programmes. However, it cost me 2，000 yuan. Besides, the loud volume will damage my hearing if I overuse it.

If I want to buy a necessary electronical gadget, the first factor that should be taken into consideration is whether its practical.

导语：现如今是人工智能的时代，你有没有想过未来的机器人是什么样的吗?下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的优秀英语作文，欢迎阅读与借鉴，谢谢!

Hello! i’m a future robot. my name is mini. i have two small eyes, a small nose and a very big mouth. i can read and write, and i can speak chinese and english.

I can play football, basketball and badminton quite well. and i can sing and dance very well! but i can’t run and swim. i always cook the breakfast for my master. my master is sally. she is a pretty girl. she plays hopscotch very well.

I love my master very much.

【原文翻译】

您好。我是一个未来的机器人。我的名字是迷你。我有一双小眼睛，一个小鼻子和一个非常大的嘴。我能读与写，我会说汉语和英语。

我可以踢足球，篮球和羽毛球很好。我会唱歌和跳舞很好!但是我不会跑步和游泳。我一直为我的主人煮早餐。我的师父是萨利。她是一个漂亮的女孩。她玩跳房子游戏很好。

我很爱我的师父。

​​两位年轻的成年女性站在台上，其中一位把手伸向另外一位的臀部，这时对方转过身：“我不认识你，不要碰我。”她声音很轻，有些羞涩。

站一旁的孙雪梅按捺不住，大声示范：“我不认识你!不要碰我!我还没到14岁，你想坐牢吗?!”

这是3月22日中国少年儿童文化艺术基金会女童保护基金(以下简称“女童保护”)儿童防性侵教育课的一次演练。“女童保护”是由百名女记者发起的公益项目。作为发起人之一，孙雪梅正对40多位家长上课，模拟生活中孩子受侵害时家长要怎么做。

孙雪梅从小在农村长大，她儿时曾亲见自己的同伴被以“过家家”的方式猥亵。20多年过去，那个场景在脑海中挥之不去，她当时知道那是不好的事，但不知道该怎么帮。

直到毕业后做了记者，了解到更多性侵案件，她发现，很多性侵案件的受害者年龄小，没有接受过防性侵教育，也不了解如何分辨性侵害、如何应对。“我们在群里聊，就想，能不能去讲课，做点啥。”

有些人想要得到成绩，满足虚荣，奈何条件不够，资格不足，于是就衍生出来了一个新词叫做作弊，而这种人与小偷窃贼又有什么区别呢，不都是窃取别人的东西，据为己有吗。所以理论上来讲，这种事情不能容忍，可似乎随着教科书上所说的“宽容”二字，它也变得微不足道了，于是，社会也被人心影响，对此睁一只眼闭一只眼。

只是，这样真的公平吗？结果与过程不成正比，切身经历的人，得有多大度才能容忍？学校考试作弊若被发现，是被记上零分，取消考试资格，这倒还算是公平。可如果遇见考官或是裁判或是主办方发现后，却还包庇，明明大家都知道的行为，依旧我行我素，甚至为了堵住悠悠众口，出手打人，结果作弊又主动打人的人还是笑嘻嘻出现在赛场反而为了守护那一份正义，处于被动迫于无奈的人，则成了千夫所指，这公平吗？

我曾亲眼看见正经比赛人员对作弊的人嗤之以鼻，对方明明看见，却依旧谈笑自如，我不由得赞叹他们的心理素质，我也曾见识他们使的卑劣手段，趁人不注意时偷走比赛的必备物品，甚至“五马分尸”，甚至耍小聪明在我们向裁判报告完情况后，再去裁判面前贼喊捉贼，这又是否公平？

公平的竞争，不是为了公平而公平，这是一种道德的底线，如果连着底线都丢了，如何对得起”人“这个称谓？现在的社会现状，有着真实才学的倘若不会甜言蜜语，便不会实现自己的梦想，而大多数相较的成功者，是花言巧语的结果。

鲁迅弃医从文后，写出了当时社会的不公，中国人希望国联为自己伸张正义，人家却承认了日本在中国东北的特殊利益，现在的不公平，虽没有面临国破家亡的严重危害，本质上却是大同小异，如果这范围在扩大，中国何论诚信，又何论公平？

我想让竞争更公平，也想让更多的人意识到这些，否则往小了说，可能一个人愤愤不平后一条生命的丢失；往大了说，由于人心影响了社会，所以中国也永远只能做一个发展中的国家，与欧洲国家的百年差距，也永远追不回来。

导语：有关中国教育问题一直被关注着，那么中国的早期教育是什么样的呢?下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的相关优秀英语作文，欢迎阅读与借鉴，谢谢!

Chinese are very generous while educating children. Not caring about the money, parents of-ten send their children to the best schools or even abroad to study because they believe that the more expensive an education is, the better it is.

So parents will spend an unreasonable amount of money oneducation. Even poor couples will buy a computer for their children. However, the best early education is usually very cheap. Childrens skills vary. Most parents fail to realize though,what children lack today is self-respect and self-confidence. The problem is that parents are only educating their children on how to take multiple choice tests and study well instead of the most important skills of being confident, happy and clever. Parents can achieve this by teaching practical skills like cooking, sewing and other housework. Cooking will improve many skills children need later in life. Though demanding patience and time, it is an enjoyable experience. A good cook always tries to improve his cooking,so he works hard and gradually finishes his job successfully.His result, a well-cooked dinner, will give him much satisfaction and a lot of self-confidence. Some old machines, such as a broken radio or TV set your child plays with will make him curious and arouse his interest.

He may spend hours looking at them, trying to fix them. These activities are not merely teaching a child to read a book, but rather to think, to use his mind. And that is more important.

【参考译文】

中国人在教育孩子时非常慷慨。不关心钱，有的父母送他们的孩子去最好的学校甚至出国学习，因为他们认为教育越贵，就越好。

所以父母会花太多钱的教育。即使是贫穷的夫妇也会为他们的孩子买电脑。然而，最好的早期教育通常是非常便宜。儿童技能各不相同。大多数家长没有意识到，现在孩子缺乏的是自尊和自信。问题是，父母只是在教育孩子如何进行多项选择考试，好好学习，而不是最重要的技能，自信，快乐和聪明。家长可以通过教授烹饪、缝纫和其他家务等实际技能来达到这一目的。烹饪会提高孩子以后生活中需要的技能。虽然要求耐心和时间，这是一个愉快的经验。一个好的厨师总是努力提高自己的厨艺，所以他努力工作，并逐渐成功地完成了他的工作，他的结果，一个精心制作的晚餐，将给他带来很大的满足和自信。有些旧的机器，比如你孩子玩的坏收音机或电视机，会使他好奇，引起他的兴趣。

他可能会花几个小时看着他们，试图修复他们。这些活动不仅是教孩子读书，而是思考，用他的头脑。更重要的是。

Every child is surrounded by the deep mother love. However, we often turn a

blind eye to the love. One day I deeply felt the love.

One day I hurried home for lunch after school, because there would be an exam

in the afternoon and I had expected to go back to school early to prepare for

the exam. But when I got home, the lunch was not ready yet. I felt unhappy. When

the dishes were served, I forund none I like. I ran out of my house angrily and

wanderde on the street for a while,hungry. Then I walked to school.

When I got into the classroom, I saw a lunch box on my desk. One classmate

told me that it was my mother ther that had brought it here.After opening the

box, I found my favorite food inside. My eyes was moist with tears.

Mother gave me her love without asking for return, How deep mother love

is!

Mr Qin is our history teacher. He has a wonderful name Qin Han. He is over fifty now, and he is in good health. He likes history. He is not only interested in Chinese history, but also the history of the world. He likes reading, and goes to the book shop every Saturday. He often tells us something interesting in the history, such as the Great Wall, the World War II and so on. We are all happy to have his classes. Mr Qin wrote a thick book on history and it was published last year. We all admire him!

秦先生是我们的历史老师，他有一个好听的名字秦汉。他已经年过半百，可是身体健康。他喜欢历史。他不仅对中国历史感兴趣，对世界历史也感兴趣。他喜欢读书，每星期六都去书店。他经常给我们讲一些历史上有趣的事，如万里长城，第二次世界大战等等。我们都喜欢上他的课。秦先生写了一本有关历史的厚厚的书，去年出版了。我们都很敬佩他!

the prosperity of a nation depends on the development of education. any development in science and technology throughout the world is due to the development of education which brings up scientists and inventors. it is difficult to emphasize just how important the role of education is. there is no doubt that countries with undeveloped education will remain poor.

education is also vital to the development of an individual. of all elements of success in our careers none is more important than education. it is not genius but the knowledge that makes the difference between success and failure. in fact most of the famous people of our times spent many years studying. can you name any great men you admire who are not well educated ?

some people, however, are still ignorant of the importance of education. some parents, especially those in the countryside, think it unnecessary to send their children to school. some parents have their children work for money at a very young age. in view of this, compulsory education must be enforced to see to it that every young people will be have the chance to receive adequate education.

今天，是我实习这么多天来性质最不一样、意义最为重要的一天。因为今天我完成了人生职业生涯里第一堂课的教学，心中感慨颇多。

为了今天的这一堂课，虽说只是一个小学、一位老师，一堂简简单单的随堂课。但对我来说，却是最初的尝试，意义非同小可。所以我还是花费了很多的心血和精力，精心地准备了一番。

在准备的过程中，我体会到了教案设计的艰辛，课件制作的不易。但更重要的环节还在后面，那便是真正的课堂教学过程的组织。

对于今天的课堂，我进行了一定的自我反思。首先是课堂有时显得过于拘谨，以致于我出现了频繁的小动作。

其次，板书设计不够科学合理，重难点体现得不够分明、有层次。

再者，课堂用语不够简洁明了。没能针对四年级小学生们现有的英语水平进行相应的交流。

最后，就是发音问题，由于紧张出现了一定的发音问题，这也是基本功不够扎实的体现。

这些问题，只是一些小细节的问题。至于更为深刻一点的问题，比如：课堂设计、师生沟通等等这些理论化的问题，我也没能思考出什么学术性结果，便不想赘述了。这些问题的解决，还需要我更多实践性的结果。

总之，先由浅入深，今后要先对这些细节性小问题多加注意并改善才是。

There is a big square near my house. People like to get together there and have the long chat. My grandma likes to go there when she has the time. Especially at night, after finishing dinner, my grandma will go to dance with her friends in the square. Sometimes I will go with her, seeing my grandma dance and join her group.

我家附近有一个大广场。人们喜欢聚在那里,长时间的聊天。我奶奶一有时间就喜欢去那里。特别是在夜晚,吃完晚餐后,我奶奶会和她的朋友们一起去广场上跳舞。有时我会和她一起去,我看着奶奶跳舞,也会加入她的团队。

Hibernation is more than sleep. It is a very deep sleep.The animals temperature drops to just over zero centigrade,and its heart beats very slowly. People who find hibernating animals asleep often think that they are dead: the body feels very cold, and the creature may breathe only once every five minutes. A hibernating animal cannot feel any pain. You can touch it, or even pull its tail, without causing it to move or wake up. In its hibernating state it can even live in a poisonous atmosphere for a long time without any ill effect.

Hibernating in this way, the animal can sleep all through the winter. You might wonder how it manages to live without eating for so many months. The answer lies in two facts. Thefirst is that it has stored supplies of fat in its body during the summer and autumn. The second is connected with the main use the body makes of food -- to supply the energy for movement. We have seen that hibernating animal reduces movement to far below the ordinary level. Even the movements of the heart and lungs are greatly reduced. The animal hardly makes any movement, hardly use any energy, and hardly needs any food.

Some animals, including some bears only half hibernate.That is to say, they sleep during the winter, but their sleep is not deep and their body temperature does not drop, as they are warm-blooded animals. In the antumn the bear eats and eats and becomes very fat. His hair grows longer. Soon he has a thick covering of fat and fur. In November he finds a place to lie down and goes to sleep. On warm winter days he may think spring has arrived; he gets up and walks around. When he sees that the snow is still thick on the ground, he quickly goes to sleep again.

The new year is coming soon, time flies and it is time for me to look back on the passed days, so as to improve myself. I remembered the targets that I made last year. I made up my mind to read some books and went to many places with friends. On the summer vacation, I did travel with my friends and we had a great time. I learned a lot during the trips and became more independent. But I didn’t finish the target to read books, the reason was that I was too busy with my study. I knew it was just an excuse for my weakness. I was just lazy sometimes, even I had enough time to finish my task. So in the new year, I must finish reading the books and broaden my vision. All I need is to read one hour a day.

我们的身体健康与食品安全息息相关，但现在我们却面临越来越多的食品问题如染色馒头、毒奶粉。请用英语写一篇100-120词的短文，简要分析食品问题形成的原因并提出相应的解决措施。

染色馒头the industrial dye of steamed bun 毒奶粉the notorious milk powder

It is universally acknowledged that the safety of food is closely related to our health. As the famous saying goes, “we are what we eat.” However, things often go contrary to our wishes since we are faced with a series of food safety problems at present, ranging from the industrial dye of steamed bun to the notorious milk powder.

There are several reasons for this severe problem. First and foremost, many manufactures produce fake food of poor quality in order to get higher profits. In addition, the relevant laws and regulations are imperfect and even ineffective. Last but not least, the public especially customers from poor families, are not alert enough to the safety of food.

In view of the seriousness of the problem, effective measures must be taken to improve the situation. Firstly, it is essential that relevant laws and regulations on food safety should be enforced. Secondly, the relevant department should attach more importance to supervising监督 the manufacturers. Also, the public should be trained to be alert to food quality, believing our efforts will make an enormous difference. Only by taking these actions can the problem be coped with successfully in the nearest future.

【参考译文】

人们普遍认为食品的安全与我们的健康息息相关。常言道，“食物塑造了我们”，然而，事情往往违背我们的愿望，因为我们面临着一系列的食品安全问题，目前，从工业染料馒头臭名昭著的奶粉。

这个严重的问题有几个原因。首先，许多制造商生产劣质食品以获得更高的利润。此外，相关法律法规不完善甚至失效。最后但并非最不重要的是，公众尤其是来自贫困家庭的顾客，对食物的安全不够警觉。

考虑到问题的严重性，必须采取有效的措施来改善局势。首先，必须加强有关食品安全的法律法规。其次，相关部门应重视监督监督厂家。此外，市民应接受培训，以警惕食品质量，相信我们的努力将产生巨大的差异。只有采取这些行动，才能成功地解决问题，在最近的未来。

导语：人类正试图猎取野生动物以获取更大的利润，下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的优秀作文，欢迎阅读与借鉴，谢谢!

As is often read in the newspaper reports, wild life especially the rare species is threatened with extinction. Human beings are making attempts to hunt wild animals for a big profit., which, of course, results in a sharp decrease in the number of animals. So it is high time for us to take quick action to protect them. First of all, its quite necessary for every citizen to realize the importance of animal protection. Only by knowing its importance can people develop a sense of responsibility. People will surely take it for granted to have the duty to prevent any killing of wild animals. So a national publicity campaign should be launched, thus giving animals a good living environment. In addition, the government should pass some laws to forbid any hunting of rare animals. We dont expect anything harmful to wild life to happen again.

If everyone is involved in the protection of wild life, were sure man will be a good friend of animals rather than their enemy.

【参考译文】

正如报纸上经常看到的那样，野生生物特别是稀有物种面临灭绝的危险。人类正试图猎取野生动物以获取更大的利润，当然，这会导致动物数量急剧减少。所以现在是我们采取行动保护他们的时候了。首先，每个公民意识到保护动物的重要性是很有必要的。只有认识到它的重要性，人们才能产生责任感。人们一定会想当然地认为有责任阻止野生动物的捕杀。开展全国性宣传活动，为动物创造良好的生存环境。此外，政府应该通过一些法律，禁止猎杀珍稀动物。我们不希望发生任何对野生动物有害的事情再次发生。

如果每个人都参与野生动物的保护，我们相信人类将是动物的好朋友，而不是敌人。

导语：端午节是古老的传统节日,始于中国的春秋战国时期,至今已有2000多年历史。端午节的由来与传说很多,下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的有关端午节的作文，欢迎阅读与借鉴，谢谢!

Duanwu Festival (端午节， Duānwū Jié) is a traditional Chinese festival held on the fifth day of the fifth month of the Chinese calendar. It is also known as the Double Fifth.[citation(引用;引证) needed] It has since been celebrated, in various ways, in other parts of East Asia as well. In the West, its commonly known as Dragon Boat Festival.

The exact origins of Duan Wu are unclear, but one traditional view holds that the festival memorializes the Chinese poet Qu Yuan (c. 340 BC-278 BC) of the Warring States Period. He committed suicide by drowning himself in a river because he was disgusted by the corruption of the Chu government. The local people, knowing him to be a good man, decided to throw food into the river to feed the fish so they would not eat Qus body. They also sat on long, narrow paddle boats called dragon boats, and tried to scare the fish away by the thundering sound of drums aboard the boat and the fierce looking carved dragon head on the boats prow(船头)。

In the early years of the Chinese Republic, Duan Wu was also celebrated as "Poets Day," due to Qu Yuans status as Chinas first poet of personal renown(名声名望)。

Today, people eat bamboo-wrapped steamed glutinous(粘的) rice dumplings called zongzi (the food originally intended to feed the fish) and race dragon boats in memory of Qus dramatic death.

端午节是中国的传统节日，在农历第五月第五日。它也被称为双第五。[引文需要](引用;引证)它已被庆祝，以各种方式，在东亚的其他国家也。在欧美地区，它通常被称为端午节。

端午节确切的起源尚不清楚，但一个传统的观点认为，这个节日是由中国诗人屈原(公元前340 BC-278。)战国时期的。他因沉溺于一条河而自杀，因为他对楚国政府的腐败感到厌恶。当地人知道他是个好人，决定把食物扔到河里喂鱼，这样他们就不会吃屈原的尸体了。他们长时间坐在狭小的龙舟上，并试图把鱼儿吓跑的齐鸣声船和凶猛的雕龙头船的船头鼓。

民国初年，端午节也被誉为“诗人节”，“由于屈原的地位，作为中国的第一诗人的个人名声。

今天，人们吃竹叶包裹糯米粽子叫粽子和赛龙舟来纪念屈原的壮举。

理查?派迪是运动史上赢得奖金最多的赛车选手。当他第一次赛完车回来，向母亲报告结果时，那情景对他后来的成功有很大的影响。 “妈!”他冲进家门，“有35辆车参加比赛，我跑了第二。” “你输了!”他母亲回答道。 “但是，妈!”他抗议道，“您不认为我第一次就跑了个第二是很好的事情吗?” “理查!”母亲严厉道，“你用不着跑在别人后面!” 接下来的20年中，理查?派迪一直称霸赛车界，他的许多项纪录到今天还保持着，没有被打破。
