今天下午，值勤过后，我就和同学一起坐43路车回家。车上很挤，我好不容易才找到一个座位，就一屁股坐下了，可以好好的休息一会了。

可是，车刚过了一站地，有一位老爷爷上车了，他微微驼背，大概六十多岁的 样子。我马上就想到了要给老人让座，但又转念一想，自己好不容易才坐下，让了怪可惜的。

怎么办啊?到底是 让还是不让?我想，身为一个少先队员，如果我不让的话，那又怎么对得起我胸前的红领巾呢?不能再想了，我一定要让。于是，我站起来，说：“爷爷，您来坐吧!”只见爷爷笑了笑，然后慢慢地坐下，并对我说：“真是好孩子!”我听了以后，心里也乐了，因为我做到了。

虽然我失去了一个供我休息的座位，但是，我却得到了表扬的话语和愉快的心情，这是多么快乐呀!

尊老爱幼是我们中华民族的传统美德，我们一定要让这种精神继续发扬光大!

Tourism in China

Recent years have seen a tendency in China that tourism is growing faster. According to a recent survey made by some experts, about 47% urban residents travel regularly, and 28% rural residents also make their tour across the country. The survey also shows that more people are interested in tourism, and will join the army in the future.

Facing this tendency, we can’t help exploring some underlying factors that are responsible. In the very first place, with the policy of reform and opening up, Chinese people’s living standard has been greatly improved, and therefore, most of them can afford to travel around. What’s more, it is believed that people now take a more positive attitude to tourism, and regard it as a life style. In addition, tourism facilities are becoming better and better. For example, transportation develops fast, and many scenic spots are available now.

中国旅游

最近几年，在中国的趋势，旅游业增长较快。根据最近的一项调查显示一些专家认为，约47%城镇居民定期作出旅行，28%的农村居民，也使他们的全国巡演。该调查还显示，更多的人在旅游有兴趣，并会在将来加入。

面对这一趋势，我们不能不说是负责任的开发一些潜在因素。在第一个地方，随着改革开放政策，对中国人民的生活水平有了很大提高，因此，他们大多数都不能周游。更重要的是，它相信，人们现在更积极的态度，旅游业，把它作为一种生活方式。此外，旅游设施正在变得越来越好。例如，交通运输发展迅速，许多景点都已经上市。

请根据以下提示，并结合具体事例，用英语写一篇短文。

Small things make a big difference。 The small things we do can make us a responsible member of the society。

注意：①无须写标题;

②除诗歌外，文体不限;

③资料务必结合你生活中的具体事例;

④文中不得透露个人姓名和学校名称;

⑤词数不少于120，如引用提示语则不计入总词数。

范文：

It isn’t hard to grow up into a responsible member of society。

I can well remember an incident that happened on a rainy Sunday afternoon。 I was on my way to the bookstore and was waiting for the green light at a crossing when a girl of about ten was knocked down by a passing car， which drove off quickly。 A man immediately rushed to the girl to give her first aid and I joined in without hesitation。 Luckily she was not badly injured and we sent her to the nearest hospital。 Compared with the escaped driver， I am proud of what I did。

As a member of the society， I am aware that being responsible is what it takes to make a better society。

I think everyone likes weekend. Because it’s time for relax and fun. Now I

want to talk about my weekend.

I often spend Saturday for fun. Such as playing basketball with my friends,

watching movies and TV shows, having a trip with family and so on. And I always

spend Sunday for homework and have some rest. Sometimes I visit my grandparents

with my parents. It’s very interesting to visit them.

今天，是一个不同寻常的日子。再过100天，我们将迎来2022年高考。我们9.3的全体同学，就要结束紧张而美好的初中生活，去迎接人生的挑战了，我们似乎已能看到那场没有硝烟的战斗，仿佛闻到了剑拔弩张的火药味。在这个特殊的日子里，我班今天召开高考冲刺百日倒计时班会，目的是为我们学生加油、呐喊、助威。如果把初中三年的学习比作一次一千米的长跑，那么现在已跑过最后一个弯道，距终点只有百米之遥了，在这有限的时间里，我们全体的老师一定倾其所有，助你们扬帆远航。一百天的时间内，也许我们对你们有更苛刻的要求，更艰苦的训练，更严厉的批评，但我们相信大家能够理解，这一切，都是为了大家能够出类拔萃，为了大家能够有所作为……

同学们，现在已经到了高考倒计时的紧要关头了。在今后的日子里，我们每个同学都要放下包袱，静下心来，发扬奋力拼搏、永不言败的精神，不抛弃、不放弃，师生共同努力，全身心地奋战高考，考出满意的成绩!

同学们：关键时刻，头脑一定要清醒，只有100天了。高考与我们距离将越来越近，要在自己心中竖立一块倒计时牌，要有紧迫感和危机感，要一门心思扑到学习上，将全部精力、全部时间用到学习上。干扰大目标的任何想法、任何行为都要坚决排除。帮助你成功的任何建议、任何批评都要悉心倾听。总之，就是从现在开始，戒除一切与学习与高考无关的活动，全身心地投入到学习当中去。希望同学们以对自己一生负责、对家长负责的态度，自觉管好自己的每一天，无悔于自己的每一天。

同学们，花无百日红，青春不重在，从这一刻起，为了父母那殷殷期盼地心情，为了老师那充满期待的目光，我们要努力;为了那使人向往地高一级学校，为了使自己的人生更加地丰富充实，我们要努力;为了一切关心我们、爱护我们，给我们以帮助的所有的人，为了自己的未来，我们要努力!我们要认真地对待剩下的每一分每一秒，我们要努力地去谱写一页，一页属于自己的辉煌篇章。

珍惜100天，让父母恩师在六月获得期望;奋斗100天，让雄心智慧在六月发出光芒;拼搏100天，让飞翔的梦在六月张开翅膀。

Recently, “clearyour plate” campaign is more and more popular in society, which advocates saving against wasting. The campaign draws our attention to wasting on campus.Some students are noticed to throw away a lot of food in the canteen. As is often the case, some lights are still on with nobody in classrooms. What’s more, many a student spends much money buying unnecessary items. As far as Iam concerned, it’s high time that we fought against wasting. Here’re my suggestions. Firstly, I think our school should carry out various activities to arouse students’ awareness of saving. Secondly, relevant rules and regulations are supposed to be made to punish those who waste things. Most importantly, we should form the habit of saving from now. It is everybody’s duty to save resources.

Chinese there are a lot of traditional culture, such as the Lantern

Festival, the Dragon Boat Festival Dragon Boat Glutinous Rice Balls to eat, to

celebrate the Mid Autumn Festival, summer egg fight...... I love most is the

beginning of the egg fight.

The day of the beginning, I invited my buddy to fight my eggs. At the

beginning of the egg, mother prepared an egg for each of us and said, "who is

the last of the eggs, who is the king of the egg!" First of all, I and Yao

Peiyu, both of us egg head to the egg, who will not let anyone, to fight each

other up. We just fight soon, they heard the click sound, there is a broken egg!

I was so surprised that I looked at my eggs, and thank God, my eggs were not

broken. It was Yao Peiyu who accidentally hit the empty head with my tip! We saw

it and laughed all the time. He bites and says, "come again!" This time, we all

put out the strength of the milk, but his strength was not big, so he was

defeated by me! Left --iao Yu--uan, although she is a girl, but not a good

deal.

All of a sudden, I came up with a good plan and a seamless plan. I used to

fight with her on the empty end and broke up in a moment. I thought to myself,

"this is the end of you. Your sharp head has been damaged. I will fight with you

with a good and sharp tip." So, I tried to wipe the egg head, and suddenly

blows, give strength to my eggs. At first, her eggs were damaged, and she was

not so big as I was, so I was easily defeated. I jumped up with joy. Mother

loudly announced, "the end of the game, Sun Yize is the king of eggs!" Now

everyone begins to eat eggs. " We eat eggs, and all the people are in the

atmosphere of joy.

The egg not only brought us happiness, but also let me understand a truth:

everything should be brain, with wisdom to win!

China had cause for a double celebration on Saturday after winning their

first ever swimming gold medal as well as setting a new world record in the

womens 400m medley.

Sun Yang sealed a place in Chinas Olympic history with an impressive swim

in the 400m freestyle final that was only 0.07 seconds off the world record to

take gold.

Defending Olympic champion Park Ta-Hwan was leading at the final turn, but

the 20-year-old Sun surged past his South Korean rival in the final length to

seal a place in Chinese Olympic history.

"The feeling is very nice, its beautiful. Its a big dream come true for

me," said Sun.

"Because its the Olympic Games, I felt a little bit nervous at the start,

and then at the end, I felt that I could get a medal."

Twenty minutes after Yang won Chinas maiden gold medal, 16-year-old Ye

Shiwen triumphed in the womens 400m medley, as well as breaking the world

record set in Beijing four years ago.

Ye rounded off a sparkling day in the pool for China as she claimed the

title with a breathtaking final lap of 28.93 seconds.

"I thought at the 200 meters that the race was lost, but then I realized I

was in the top two or three and I was confident I could win on the last leg,"

said Ye.

"I dreamed of winning the gold medal, but I never ever expected to break a

world record, Im overwhelmed."

Nowadays, more and more people prefer to travel quite often. Bytraveling,

we not only can relax ourselves but also broaden our knowledge circles. From my

aspect, I think we can make many friends and travel with them.

Firstly, we can enjoy the beautiful scenery and relax ourselves. For modern

life, we are busy with our work with high pressure. However, when we travel, we

will be attracted by great landscape and forget pressure from both work and

life.

Secondly, we can make friends by traveling. For most travelers, they tend

to find many companions to travel with. If you check the internet, you will find

that some people will call others to join them for travel. Through this kind of

travel, we can meet many different people and make friends with them to broaden

our social circle.

Thirdly, we can learn much knowledge form travel. Before you go to

somewhere to travel, generally, you need to make plans for your travel. You can

find lots of things you don’t know when you make a plan, such as, the origin of

a certain area, the customs of different areas, local food and so on.

In conclusion, we can not only relax ourselves and make new friends but at

the same time we can learn much from travel.

“清明时节雨纷纷，路上行人欲断魂”。转眼间，一年一度的四月五日清明节又到来了。

今天，爸爸妈妈带我一起上山去拜祭外爷。不一会儿我们就来到外爷的墓前。只看见，墓前长满了高高的野草。妈妈连忙拿起锄头锄草，看爸爸锄草的认真劲，可见妈妈是多么牵挂着去世的外爷啊!

锄完草后，妈妈的手搭在我的肩上说：“快过来拜祭外爷外爷，一并说出自己的心愿。”我来到墓前，双腿跪下，双手合一说：“外爷，虽然您已去世多年，但我们依然牵挂着你，外婆一人在家非常孤独，无聊。不过您放心，我们会给照顾好婆婆的，一定让她吃好、穿好、睡好，甚至讲故事，讲笑话，逗她开心!陪伴她度过幸福的晚年。外爷，您在天之灵，请您保佑我们全家平安幸福快乐!您安息吧!”随后，我们点好香和蜡烛，挂好纸钱，然后爸爸就开始放鞭炮……我们依依不舍的离开了。

我将永远记住这美好的清明节!

今天是清明节，寒食祭祖，扫墓踏青。我们一起在二十六烈士墓前缅怀英雄。

一大早，我们参加“万里行”的同学就来到了学校，“满街杨柳绿似烟，画出清明二月天”，今年的清明节遇到了难得的好天气。带队的老师给我们简单的上了一节课，主要是指导同学们关于清明扫墓的注意事项及步行安全。很快，我们就向着西顺河镇出发了。

不久，我们就来到了淮安市爱国主义教育基地——二十六烈士陵园的大门前。老师向我们介绍了烈士们的英雄事迹，1945年新四军某团为保卫军部和顺河集人民的生命安全，与日伪展开阻击战，26名烈士壮烈牺牲。同学们默默的站在烈士墓前，献上鲜花，寄托哀思。仪式结束后，我们来到了烈士纪念馆，进入大门，我们就看到了两把烈士们用过的步枪，还观看了烈士们和日伪抗战的图画。此时，我们的脑海中又浮现出当年烈士们抗战的场景，为了保家卫国，他们献出了年轻的生命。

中午，我们坐车行驶在回家的路上。一路上的风景真是美不胜收，春姑娘悄悄的来到我们身边，金色的油菜花，粉色的梅花，洁白的梨花都张开了笑脸，柳树姑娘也悄悄地将它碧绿的小辫探进了清清的小河里。百花齐放，万物复苏……

欣赏着这一路美丽的景色，我的眼前又浮现出烈士们的样子。烈士们用自己年轻的生命换来了我们的美好家园，我们一定要好好学习知识，爱护家园，保护环境，保护好我们国家的领土，不辜负烈士们的期望。

It is said that Chengdu is a city which if you come you cant leave.It has

a long history.there stands Du Fus thatched cottage ,The Temple of Zhugeliang

foreign tourists like to come here.Chengdu also has a comfortable weather for

people who live in there.Even though in the winter it is still warmer than any

other cities in China.Besides,as Chengdu people are fond of eating,they have

三年时间飞逝，我们现在已经站在了离高考仅剩一百天的冲刺线上。此时此刻，我们面对的，将是我们12年来的学习生活中最重要的抉择。

12年的时间，足以让我们从蹒跚学步的孩子成长成为了现在脚步坚定的成年人。回想这12年的历程中，我们首先要反思，在这12年里，我们到底错过了多少机遇，到底荒废了多少梦想，到底有多少时间在我们的犹犹豫豫和无所事事中被白白放走。

一百天，高考就横亘在我们的眼前。高考在现在众多的比赛中，同样是年轻的战场，同样是层层的选拔，同样需要全心的投入与付出，但高考，它不像聚光的舞台那样充满鲜花和掌声，更多的是平淡甚至是单调的学习生活。

没错。不是高三的学生，不知道高三的学生累;不是高三的老师，不知道高三的学生难;不是高三的学生家长，不知道高三的学生苦。

我们从很久以前就开始抱怨高考，然而等我们再长大一些就会发现，我们的成长注定与一场接一场的比赛联系在一起，而高考是所有比赛中最公平、最干净、最透明的。高考，或许是仅凭我们自己的实力说话的机会，高考之外，出身平头百姓家庭的我们，在各种各样的机会面前，会无力和无奈得多。在当今中国，高考是所有可能的选择中最不坏的一个。真正的强者从来都不像局外人那样牢骚满腹、指手画脚，对于既定的竞争规则，他们的选择永远是勇敢地冲锋。

We all like to make friends, we live in a society that we need to communicate with others. Without a friend, one can never express his emotions, no one share his sorrow and happiness. Making friends balances ones emotions, you can talk to friends any things, like secret, which you dont want to share with our parents. But here is the fact that not everyone is suitable to be friend, we need to obey the rules. First, the guy must be honest. Honesty is the base of the being friends, to be frank and then to be close. Second, there is something common in you two. The same interest always brings two hearts close, the more something in common, the better, thus he will be your best friends, you can share things with him. Making friends is a big deal, cause if you make the wrong one, you may get the negative thing from him.

我们都喜欢交朋友，我们生活在一个社会，需要彼此交流。没有朋友，一个人不能表达他的情绪，没人分享喜怒哀乐。交朋友能平衡感情，你可以和朋友谈任何事，比如你不会和父母分享的秘密。事实上，并不是所有的人都适合成为朋友，我们需要遵守原则。第一，那个人必须诚实。诚实是成为朋友的基础条件，闯开心扉然后变得亲近。第二，你们两个之间有共同点。共同的兴趣让两颗心靠近，越多共同点越好，因此他会成为你最好的朋友，你可以和他分享事情。交朋友是一件很大的事，因为如果交友不慎，你可能会感染他的一些恶习。

Stepping into the new century, environment pollution has become more

serious than ever since. There are different kinds of pollution. Such as, water

pollution, air pollution and noise pollution and so on. It seems that we live on

a planet which is full of pollution. Where all these pollution comes from? To a

large extend, the environmental destruction is the heavy price that we pay for

the rapid development of economy and the growing population. In order to have

more fuel, people cut down trees and dig more corals. But the growing needs for

energy are hardly to meet. Countless private cars on the street, the gas

stations are short of gasoline, even the government has raise the price so many

times in order to control the needs of gasoline, but it’s still not working.

Overusing the natural resources has already affected the ecological balance.

However, the factories still release the toxic air into the sky and the polluted

water into the rivers. People still lack of the conscious of protecting the

environment. I think it’s time for all of us to do something.

The government should put forward some more strict laws to prevent the

environment from being further polluted. And they should let people know more

about the importance of environment protection. And we should find the balance

between the economic growth and environmental protection. Plant more trees in

the deserts and stop cutting down the forest. Forbid the factories to pour the

waste water into the rivers directly. Encourage people to use public

transportations to work. Both government and ordinary people should join hands

together to make our home clean and fresh again. Only in this way, our earth

could be a better place to live in.

Does Mobile Phone Distract Study?

Today, with the development of technology, people own all kinds of electronic products, mobile phone is very popular, almost everyone has a mobile phone at hand, we even can say that we can’t live without mobile phone. As the phone has become so popular, students are also obsessed about it, high school students use cell phone without letting teachers know it, the reason that the teachers ban them to use mobile phone is that the phone will distract students from study. I agree with teachers, as a student, I know exactly how the phone affects me in the class. I always want to check my phone, seeing if there is message. I can’t focus on my study, all my mind thinking is to check on the phone. I am not saying we should not use mobile phone, I advise that it is better use it when we are not studying.

今天，随着科技的发展，人们拥有各种各样的电子产品，手机很流行，几乎每个人手头上都有一部手机，我们甚至可以说我们不能没有手机。手机如此的流行，学生 自然也为此着迷，高中生瞒着老师使用手机，老师禁止他们使用手机的原因在于手机会让学生学习上分心。我同意老师的看法，作为一名学生，我很清楚地知道手机 如何在课上影响我。我总是想要看看手机上是否有信息。我不能集中学习，脑子想的都是检查手机。我不是说我们不应该使用手机，我建议我们最好在不学习的时候 用。

Qing Ming is a time to remember the dead and the dearly departed. More

important, it is a period to honour and to pay respect to ones deceased

ancestors and family members. Because it reinforces the ethic of filial piety,

Qing Ming is a major Chinese festival.

Literally meaning "clear" (Qing) and "bright" (Ming), this Chinese festival

falls in early spring, on the 106th day after the winter solstice. It is a

"spring" festival, and it is an occasion for the whole family to leave the home

and to sweep the graves of their forebears. Chinese being practical people this

sweeping of the graves is given an extended period, that is, 10 days before and

after Qing Ming day. Among some dialect groups a whole month is allocated.

Traditional Chinese culture is beginning to capture the attention of the

world. This is true even as popular culture that has traditionally been

considered Western begins to spread throughout China. Kung Fu, especially, has

had a great impact on the millions of people who first learned about China

through it. From that, they may come to China and learn about other aspects of

this culture, such as traditional operas like the Beijing and Sichuan ones.

Asian nations have long known about the greatness of ancient Chinese culture.

Their own cultures are a mix of native ones and those Chinese characteristics.

Korea and Japan long ago adopted ideas such as Confucianism is something that

continues today even as it is challenged by Pop Culture. This strength comes

from the ideas given in the Four Books of Confucianism (The Great Learning, The

Doctrine of the Mean, The Analects of Confucius, and The Book of Mencius). These

books built upon the ideas of an even more ancient period codified in the Five

Classics. From them, the West learns such things as Fengshui and other concepts

that are uniquely Chinese. China has taken steps to further this spread of its

culture by establishing Chinese Cultural Centers in such places as the United

States and Europe.
