Boys and girls, do you understand how much environmental knowledge, know? Protecting the environment is the human consciously protect natural resources and make them get reasonable use, to prevent the pollution of natural environment and damage. Now, the earth environment gradually destroyed. Because there are many environmental destruction, someone for reason, there are natural causes. But most people are deforestation, litter and other factors.

As far as I know from the Internet, 30 years from 1950 to 1950, more than half of the worlds forests have been destroyed, one half of the forest land into desert in Africa. Green vegetation is present in the human nature of "being" of life. World the 50 years after the 20th century, however, damage to people and animals live in green environment, green vegetation is in a recession, the global soil loss to increase to 25.4 billion tonnes a year, desertification, soil is at an annual rate of 5 to 7 square kilometers expanded rapidly.

In 1998, through China the earth in the Yangtze river, the songhua river, such as large rivers, lost the past gentle beautiful smiling face, out of ferocious ferocious terror. Raging storms, the roaring river, rolled up the flood peak, and again engulfed entire villages, pieces of land, cities and counties, each factory, a school... Oh my god, this is what a loss!

In recent years, because humans cut down trees, also damage the environment, make the vegetation destroyed, causing the phenomenon of land desertification, soil erosion, etc. Trees also gradually reduce, then, to absorb carbon dioxide, large amounts of carbon dioxide make the air become warm, creates the world present situation: the greenhouse effect.

Campus is always has a beautiful scenery, now everyone dont protect the environment, it makes our environment destruction. Look at the corner of the street is filled with plastic bags, cigarette butts. On the flower beds in the neighborhood is filled with dirt, we should protect everything we have good resources. I have people here dont protect environment under the condition of reverie: one day, the tree my grandfather in the beautiful scenery in a rest, suddenly to a few people, to prepare for a picnic here. Not for a moment here a beautiful environment becomes dirty, but this a few people or ignored. "The men finally walked" the tree grandpa sad cried, alas! The men got the cigarette butts on the grass, the ground filled with plastic bags, bottle. A few days later the tree grandpa dyspnea died because of bad environment.

同学们，环保知识你们了解多少，知道多少?保护环境是人类有意识地保护自然资源并使其得到合理的利用，防止自然环境受到污染和破坏。现在，地球上环境逐渐遭到破坏。环境遭破坏的原因有许多，有人为原因，也有自然原因。不过大多数是人们乱砍乱伐，乱扔垃圾等因素。

据我从网上了解，自1950年到1980年30年间，全世界有一半以上的森林面积被毁，其中非洲的二分之一林地变成不毛之地。绿色植被是大自然赠于人类的“生命之被”。可是，世界进入20世纪50年之后，人和动物赖以生存的绿色环境遭到破坏，绿色植被正在衰退，全球土壤失量现以增加到每年254亿吨，沙漠化土壤正以每年5-7万平方公里的速度迅速扩展。

1998年时，流经中国大地的长江、松花江等大江大河，失去了往日温柔美丽的笑脸，露出了凶猛恐怖的狰狞。肆虐的暴雨，咆哮的江水，卷起了一次次洪峰，吞噬了一个个村庄，一片片田地，一个个市县，一座座工厂，一所所学校……天哪，这是多么大的损失啊!

近几年，也因为人类大量砍伐树木、破坏环境，使植被遭到破坏，造成了土地沙漠化、水土流失等现象。树木也渐渐减少，于是，二氧化碳无法吸收，大量的二氧化碳使空气变得温暖，就造成了世界上目前出现的状况：温室效应。

园里都总有一处美丽的风景，可现在大家都不保护环境，这才使我们的环境遭受破坏。你看街道上的角落到处都有塑料袋，烟头。小区里的花坛上到处都有脏东西，我们应该保护好我们现在所拥有的一切美好资源。我就在这人们不保护环境的情况下遐想：一天，大树爷爷在一处美丽的风景休息，突然来了几个人，准备在这里野餐。没一会儿这里美丽的环境一下变得脏兮兮了，但这几个人还是置之不理。“这几个人终于走了”大树爷爷悲哀的叫着，唉!那几个人把小草上弄上了烟头，地上掉满塑料袋，瓶子。没过几天大树爷爷因环境不好呼吸困难死去了。

I would rather suffer hardships than fail。 In other words， to achieve

success is my only desire。 We all know that there are many factors of success。

Now let me write down the most important ones in the following。

Diligence—Foolish as a person is， he can succeed in his work if he works

hard。 That does not admit of any doubt。

Perseverance—When you fail， don’t lose heart。 Keep on working until you

acplish your aim。

Honesty—If you tell lies or does not keep your words， no one will rely on

you。 I would rather be scolded than cheat (others)。

我宁愿受苦难不愿失败。换句话说，获致成功是我唯一的愿望。我们大家明白成功要素很多。此刻让我们把它们最重要的写在下方。

勤勉――一个人虽然不大聪明，但是他地能做成他的工作，如果他苦干的话。那是不容置疑的。

毅力――当你失败的时候，不要灰心。要继续工作，直到你到达目的为止。

诚实――如果你说谎或不守信，没有人会信赖你。我宁愿挨骂不愿欺骗人。

Modest since ancient times is seen as a virtue. Yes, modesty is the best way to improve, people is the important condition to success. Only learn humility, people will continuously enterprising, make greater achievements.

Situation is not equal to inferior, some people dont fully understand oneself, ability to degrade yourself too much, as long as there is a task to him, he always said: "I do bad, you still find someone else!" Others have dont understand the question for him, he is always lower the head and said: "I dont know." This is modesty? No, this is a sign of inferiority. Low self-esteem tend to be "humble" false packaging, inferiority, as well as pride, stupid. It is often accompanied by laziness, it is usually to their own survival of explanation. This is worthless.

Inferior never s appearance, often hid themselves and laziness to fabricated the trap of their own. Inferior fear of failure, will never succeed. But the eagle can fly less than chicken, but chicken will never fly to eagle is so high. Inferior is willing to do a fall behind of chicken, also dont want to be a failure of the eagle.

The modest man progress is endless. When people praise of their achievements, a "no" to display with noble moral character. Inferior will only put the "I cant" "I wont excuse to escape." It is this seemingly humble, seemingly sincere confession, became the imprison their shackles. Those under the "modesty" conceal not aggressive inferior, need is out of ignorance, behind the shadow, feet on the ground, only to the confidence, the courage to face yourself to be successful. The composition

Instructions, inferiority is not modest, humble will never contain inferiority...

谦虚自古就被视为一种美德。不错，谦虚确实是人们不断完善的最好途径，是通向成功的重要条件。只有学会谦虚，人才会不断进取，取得更大成就。

情形不等于自卑，有些人不能充分认识自己，过分贬低自己的能力，只要一有任务交给他，他总是说：“我做不好，你还是找别人吧!”别人有不理解的问题问他时，他也总是低下头说：“我不知道。”这是谦虚吗?不是，这是自卑的表现。自卑往往被“谦虚”虚伪的包装，自卑同骄傲一样，都是愚蠢的。它往往伴随着怠惰，往往是为了自己的苟活作无谓的解释。这是一文不值的。

自卑者永远不会出头露面的，常把自己与怠惰隐藏于自己编造的陷阱中。自卑者害怕失败，永远不会成功。殊不知雄鹰可以飞得比鸡低，但鸡永远不会飞到鹰那么高。自卑者愿做一只落伍之鸡，也不愿做一只失败的雄鹰。

谦虚者的进取是永无止境的。当人们赞美他们的功绩时，一句“不足挂齿”足以显示拿高尚品德。自卑者只会把“我不行”“我不会”作为逃避的借口。正是这看似谦虚，貌似诚恳的表白，成为了禁锢自己的镣铐。那些在“谦虚”掩饰下不求进取的自卑者，需要的是走出无知，落后的阴影，脚踏实地，勇于面对自己，只有走向自信，才能成功。作文

须知，自卑不是谦虚，谦虚也永远不包含自卑……

Idolatry in china

Idolatry has been an essential part of youngs lives in china. And of course the social phenomenon, as a double-edged problem, has drawn more attention from people of all walks of lives.

Maybe we at first should refer some information. It was conveyed that people worshipped classicist like Confucius and Mencius in 1913. Then people worshipped LiuDehua, ZhouEnlai ,MaoZedong and so on. We can draw a conclusion easily that the idols we worship have been changed from cultural field and political field to entertainment field.

Now I would like to raise three questions：who should be our idols? Why he can be our idols? And what attitude should we possess?

If we think it for granted that an idol should have cool hairstyle or

fashionable clothes, even just distinctive appearance, we are absolutely wrong. With that idea we may waste a large amount of time. At the same time, there exist many young people admiring entertainment stars crazily. In my view, whoever is able to be our idol as long as we can learn something good from them? By worshipping the idol, we can improve ourselves and we can lead a positive and happy life. So here I want remind you of that:”Believe in the ideal, not the idol.” Of course we’d better not say that an idol is nothing and after all we would need an example to direct us in our lives.

In the end, as far as I’m concerned, we should seek a balance about dealing with idols. To us college students, we can truly cheer for an "idol ".

Good morning,everyone! I`m very happy to have this chance to give my

presentation. Before I start my speech, please let me ask you a question. Do you

think you are confident in yourself? If you are, do please raise your hand.

My topic today is “ to Be a Confident Person.”

What is confidence? Confidence is to trust yourself. Confidence is to look

upon yourself. It is not to indulge in self-admiration. It is not to get

extremely arrogant. It is not to get dizzy with success or to be opinionated. It

is just to inspire yourself ahead of a quality of mind, in high spirit, full of

energy. It is to meet the challenges of life in a positive mood. It is to

overcome your inferiority, farewell, to get rid of the trouble of a a ready-made

panacea.

Remember, I have just entered junior high school. In the face of the

challenge of new environment, in the face of so many new courses and learning

contents, I lost faith in my own and gradually developed a psychological sense

of inferiority. Achievement glided ceaselessly. It is a teacher and mother who

encouraged me and let me regain confidence. Gradually, my grades got higher and

higher and everything began to go on well. Gradually I adapted to the life in

middle school.

Friends, lets say goodbye to inferiority. Let’s be a confident person.

Because: only if you have self-confidence, can you control yourself; only if you

have confidence, can you achieve success and create your a brilliant life of

your own!

大家好!

今天我演讲的题目是：做一个自信的人。

什么是自信?自信，就是自己信得过自己，自己看得起自己。它，不是孤芳自赏，也不是夜郎自大，更不是得意忘形和自以为是;而是激励自己奋发进取的一种心里素质，是以高昂的斗志，充沛的干劲迎接生活挑战的一种乐观情绪;是战胜自己，告别自卑，摆脱烦恼的一种灵丹妙药。

还记得，我刚刚升入初中时，面对新的环境，面对那么多的新的课程和学习内容，我对自己失去了信心，逐渐产生了自卑心理，成绩不断下滑，是老师和妈妈及时帮助我、鼓励我，让我重新找回自信。渐渐的，我的学习成绩及各个方面都有明显进步，逐渐适应了初中的生活。

朋友们，让我们告别自卑，做一个自信的人吧。因为：只有拥有自信，才能拥有自我;只有拥有自信，才能走向成功，才能创造自己辉煌的人生。

History

Historian Nicholas Rogers, exploring the origins of Halloween, notes that while "some folklorists have detected its origins in the Roman feast of Pomona, the goddess of fruits and seeds, or in the festival of the dead called Parentalia, it is more typically linked to the Celtic festival of Samhain, whose original spelling was Samuin (pronounced sow-an or sow-in)".The name is derived from Old Irish and means roughly "summers end".Snap-Apple Night (1832) by Daniel Maclise.Depicts apple bobbing and divination games at a Halloween party in Blarney, Ireland.The name Halloween and many of its present-day traditions derive from the Old English era.

The word Halloween is first attested in the 16th century and represents a Scottish variant of the fuller All-Hallows-Even ("evening"), that is, the night before All Hallows Day.[4] Although the phrase All Hallows is found in Old English (ealra hālgena mæssedæg, mass-day of all saints), All-Hallows-Even is itself not attested until 1556.

11月1日 -- 万圣节 All Saints Day

11月2日 -- 墨西哥的鬼节 Day of Death

万圣节(All Saints Day, All Hallows Day或Hallowmas) 是每年11月1日的欧美大节日。

Halloween 是 All Hallows Eve 的缩写，万圣节前夜的意思，指10月31日的晚上。

For thousands of years people have been celebrating different holidays and festivals at the end of October. The Celts celebrated it as Samhain (pronounced “sow-in”, with “sow” rhyming with cow)。 The Irish English dictionary published by the Irish Texts Society defines the word as follows:

“Samhain, All Hallowtide, the feast of the dead in Pagan and Christian times, signalizing the close of harvest and the initiation of the winter season, lasting till May, during which troops (esp. the Fiann) were quartered. Faeries were imagined as particularly active at this season. From it the half year is reckoned. also called Feile Moingfinne (Snow Goddess)。(1) The Scottish Gaelis Dictionary defines it as ”Hallowtide. The Feast of All Soula. Sam + Fuin = end of summer.“(2) Contrary to the information published by many organizations, there is no archaeological or literary evidence to indicate that Samhain was a deity. The Celtic Gods of the dead were Gwynn ap Nudd for the British, and Arawn for the Welsh. The Irish did not have a ”lord of death“ as such.

The Celts believed that every year on the last day of October, the souls of the dead visited the earth.www.

When the Romans conquered the Celts in the first century A.D., they added parts of their festivals, Feralia and Pomona to the tradition. Feralia was a festival to honor the dead and Pomona was a harvest festival named after the goddess of fruit (apples) and trees.

Around the eigth century, the Christian church made November 1 All Saints Day to honor all of the saints that didnt have a special day of their own. Over the years these festivals combined, the mass held on All Saints Day was called Allhallowmas (the mass of all Hallows - saintly people)。 The night before was known as All Hallows Eve. Eventually this name became Halloween.

In the 1800s, as a lot of people emigrated to the U.S., the holidays and traditions of different cultures merged. Halloween was not always a happy time. October 31, or the night before took on other names. Some called it Devils or Hell night, to others it was mischief night. Here in Vermont, the night before is called cabbage night. To some people this became a time to play tricks on others. Some of these tricks were not fun at all. Luckily, community groups and individuals took action and started to change Halloween into a family event. Dressing up in costumes and going ”trick or treating“, costume parades, community parties and Fall festivals are some of the ways that Halloween is celebrated today.

Other countries have different Fall festivals to honor the deceased.

The Festival of the Dead is one of the most important happenings in both Palermo and the rest of Sicily. The second of November is a festival day for the children of Palermo as, according to tradition,they were made to believe that their dead relatives would return the night before and leave them traditional sweets and cakes on the table (Martorana fruit, which is almond paste made into the shape of different fruit)。 They would also receive puppets of boiled sugar and toys. Its one way of keeping the memory of their dead relatives and loved ones alive.

一年中最”闹鬼“的这天夜里，各种妖魔鬼怪、 海盗、 外星来客和巫婆们纷纷出动。在基督纪元以前，凯尔特人在夏未举行仪式感激上苍和太阳的恩惠。

当时的占卜者点燃并施巫术以驱赶据说在四周游荡的妖魔怪。后来，罗马人用果仁和苹果来庆祝的丰收节与凯尔特人的10月31日溶合了。

在中世纪，人们穿上动物造型的服饰、 戴上可怕的面具是想在万圣节前夜驱赶黑夜中的鬼怪。尽管後来基督教代替了凯尔特和罗马的宗教活动，早期的习俗还是保留下来了。现在，孩子们带着开玩笑的心理穿戴上各种服饰和面具参加万圣节舞会，这些舞会四周的墙上往往悬挂着用纸糊的巫婆、 黑猫、 鬼怪和尸骨，窗前和门口则吊着龇牙裂嘴或是面目可憎的南瓜灯笼。孩子们还常常试图咬住悬挂着的苹果。

美国和加拿大的孩子们在这天穿戴上古怪的服饰去按邻居家的门铃，并按传统发出”是款待我还是要我耍花招“的威胁。邻居们不管是否被吓着，总是准备了一些糖果、 苹果等点心，孩子们则一一收入自己的袋内。

万圣节其实不是基督教的节日。2500年前，爱尔兰的凯尔特人(Celts)以10月31日为一年的最後一日，11月1日是新一年的开始，也象徵冬天的来临。

凯尔特人相信死亡之神Samhain在10月31日的晚上会和鬼魂一起重返人间，寻找替身。因此他们燃点火炬，焚烧动物以作为死亡之神的献礼。还会用动物的头或皮毛做成的服饰打扮自己，发出古怪的声音，使死亡之神认不出自己，避过灾难。这就是今天万圣节化妆舞会的由来。过了当晚，鬼魂回到阴间，一切回复平静。

基督教兴起，教徒沿袭万圣节传统，万圣节的意义慢慢改为纪念为献身於神而死亡的人(holies)。

附带一提，11月2日是墨西哥的鬼节(Los Dias de los Muertos, Day of the Dead)。当天家家户户都烘烤动物造型的面包和煮鸡肉等食物，并在供桌上面放置玩具，以期待早逝的孩童们回到家中玩耍。也可以陈列鲜花、 水果、 照片和彩绘的骷髅头，接待仙逝长辈。

墨西哥人认为，鬼魂和人一样需要及时行乐，所以鬼节宛若一场嘉年华会，人们带着面具到处游走，吃骷髅形状的糖，面包上还装饰有鬼的形像。黄昏时刻，全家人一起到墓园清理墓地，妇女们或跪或坐整夜祈祷，男人们交谈或唱歌，在子夜中烛光忽闪忽灭充满了整个墓园，游唱歌者为已逝亡者的灵魂高歌吟唱。
