Food safety has been closely watched, because our everyday life simply can not do without food. Everyone knows this, but always some people again, lets worry about it, whether our food safety and health.

Recently of malachite green, Sudan red, and so on have been "destroyed" and are these hearts duck eggs, and havent been solved completely. But even if they now have to solve, but we also have to worry about "they" will not back not just in the future? Thought of here, I cant help but think constantly behind the scenes "make" the food of a few to endanger the safety of life. So I just sent a such doubts are these people for the sake of what? I want to or for a word - money, money is the devils bait. Because of the money, how many times this happened in the world of murder, robbery and theft? Who would have thought such a sum of money, is want to jail and the court criminal "supplier"?

Is because the money has arisen: artificial sweetener, saccharin sodium, cyclamate and preservatives (sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate), etc. The use of food additives. Therefore, I very want to some people dont understand, how many people did their "product" harm? There are a lot of people after eating these so-called "health and safe food" and diarrhea and vomiting, and even lost his life!

However, I think, in addition to criticise those who only know to make money and people who do not care about their health and safety, we also need to improve their awareness.

Such as: apple too shiny instructions may be played in a wax. White spot on the grapes too much may be excessive pesticide use.

These instructions, defense artificially added chemicals in food, some harmful substance is but with the naked eye or simple method of inspection.

We should pay attention to food safety, want to for the sake of our health and make great efforts, to strive for the sake of our civilization.

食品安全一直倍受关注，因为我们的日常生活根本离不开食品。所有人都知道这一点，但又总一些人，让我们担心，我们的食品是否安全，是否卫生。

最近的孔雀石绿、苏丹红等这些是已经被“消灭”了还有红心鸭蛋等还没完全被解决的。不过就算它们现在已经给解决了，可是我们还要担心“它们”还会不会在不就的将来卷土重来呢?想到这里，我就不禁想到了在幕后不断“制造”这一些危害人生安全的食品的人。于是我就发出了这样的疑惑这些人是为了什么?我想还是为了一个字——钱，钱是魔鬼得意的诱饵。因为钱，这世界上发生过多少次的谋杀、抢劫和盗窃?谁能想到这么一张张的钱币，竟是想监狱和法庭输送罪犯的“供应商”?

也就是因为了钱产生了：人工合成甜味剂(糖精钠、甜蜜素)和防腐剂(苯甲酸钠、山梨酸钾)等食品添加剂的使用情况。因此，我十分的想些人明不明白，他们的“产品”危害了多少人?有许多的人因为吃了这些所谓的“卫生、安全食品”而上吐下泻乃至丢了性命的!

不过，我想，除了批评那些只知道赚钱而不顾及他们身体健康、安全的人以外，我们还要提高自己的防范意识!

如：苹果过于的发亮说明苹果可能打过蜡。葡萄上的白斑过多可能就是农药使用过量。

这些说明，防御食品中人为的添加化学物质、有害物质有些是可是用肉眼或简单的方法检验出来的。

我们要关注食品安全，要为了我们的健康而努力，要为了我们的文明而努力。

可是，在我六岁时，我又一次骑着自行车，带着小弟弟去小溪边玩时，我看到了家乡的小溪发生了很大的变化：溪水变得又黑又臭;贝壳看不到了;小鱼都死了，浮在水面上;又有一些垃圾在水面上漂浮着。看到这场景后，我和小弟弟都惊呆了。

我决定在每年的春天，我都和爸爸妈妈回家乡种几棵树，和家乡的小朋友们共同发起“养一盆花，栽一棵树，爱护每一片草地，不乱丢垃圾”以及让我们的爸爸妈妈“放下方便袋，拿起菜篮子”的倡议。

在人生旅途中有太多太多的人值得我们去感谢，例如：养育我们的父母、谆谆教诲的老师、团结友爱的同学……而最值得我去感谢的是我的生身父母。

父母将我带到这个美丽的世界，给我一个无比温暖的家，给了我最无私的爱、陪伴我渡过一个快乐的童年。父母对我的一次次保护使我终身难忘。

小时候我被陷入水沟，母亲不顾一切，立马将我拉了起来。而她的手心却被粗壁磨得血流不止。这次的经历，让我懂得父母的爱是最无私的。

不知不觉已告别欢乐的童年，迈进中学生阶段。父母给了我一次又一次的鼓励，使我在一次次考试中不负父母所望，名列前茅，得到一次又一次的奖励。

父母有时也十分严厉。有一次，我和弟弟为了一个玩具而大吵大闹，我明知是自己不对，可我还是不依不饶。事后，父母批评了吾一顿，我也知道我的过错。

父母生身之恩我无以回报，父母严厉的教诲我谨记心头，正是父母严厉的教诲、辛勤而无私的付出使我走上正直之路，走上阳光大道。

在此，请允许我郑重地对我的父母说一声：“爸妈，您们辛苦了，感谢您们!”

i like christmas, it is just like our spring festival.

maybe the spring festival is much more important and interesting than christmas, but i like christmas day better. because we can spend time with our friends and classmates during christmas. when it is snowy,

christmas becomes much more lovely, just like in fairytales. i can imagine i am in a fairytale, the girl who sold the matches is my friend, the ugly duck becoming more and more beautiful and so on. what a beautiful place! so we can also call christmas “snowy lovely day.”

on christmas day, shops are red and green. there are so many christmas cards, christmas hats, christmas dolls and many colourful things. so shops look very beautiful. we can give a card or a doll to our friends and say “merry christmas.” by the way, i think studying can also become much more interesting.

我喜欢圣诞节,它就像我们的春节。

也许春节比圣诞节更重要和有趣的,但我更喜欢圣诞节。因为我们可以花时间与我们的朋友和同学在圣诞节期间。当它下雪的,

圣诞节变得更加可爱,就像在童话。我可以想象我在童话中,卖火柴的女孩是我的朋友,丑陋的鸭子越来越漂亮等等。一个美丽的地方!所以我们也可以叫圣诞“雪可爱的一天。”

在圣诞节,商店是红色和绿色。有很多圣诞卡,圣诞帽、圣诞娃娃和许多五颜六色的东西。所以商店看起来很漂亮。我们可以给我们的朋友和一个卡或一个娃娃说“圣诞快乐。“顺便说一下,我觉得学习也可以变得更有趣。

A poet leads me to a branch road: on one side, there are lots of sweet

apples, lovely and charming; on the other, there is a patch of thorn, what hides

behind the success of struggling against the thorn is a splendid palace. I

deeply know that if I choose the apples, I will give up a precious opportunity

of becoming a queen; While if I choose to challenge, I have to say farewell to

the apples. Which one should I choose?

Just like the branch road, we have to make a lot of choices during our

lifetime. It is usually considered that we are choosing what to gain, to own,

but in my opinion, we are just choosing to give up.

Choosing to be a teacher means giving up the life as rich as a business

man;

Choosing to be a top student means giving up much leisure time in front of

the TV.

Sure, it’s a torture, but we must judge carefully what is more important,

then give up the others. Don’t think of them any more, just focus all your

spirit on what you are doing.

I myself, who is standing here, have already chosen to challenge in such a

great competition, so I have to give up ten days of normal classes in school and

relaxation without pressure. But I am still pleased, because giving up properly

makes me stick to my choice.

Let’s return to our branch road, which one will your choose? I choose to

challenge here!

一位诗人把我引到一个岔路口：一边是甘甜的苹果，鲜艳而诱人;另一边是一条荆棘之路，但隐藏在与荆棘搏斗的成功之后是一座富丽的宫殿。我深深地明白：如果我选择那些苹果，我将失去一个可能成为女王的良机，与此同时，如果我选择挑战那些荆棘，那会很艰辛，而且我又必须与可爱的苹果告别，我该选择哪一个呢?

正如这个岔路口一般，生活中的我们面临多种选择。人们通常认为，我们在选择去获得什么，拥有什么，但在我看来，我们在选择放弃什么。

选择作一名老师意味着放弃了像商人一样奢华富有的生活。

选择作一名顶尖学生意味着放弃了许多在电视机前的闲暇时间。

当然，放弃的选择是一种苦难，但我们必须用心审度，什么对自己来说更为重要，做出选择，然后放弃其他，不要再回首想那些已放弃的东西，把精力集中于你正在做的事。

站在这里的我，已选择了在这样大规模的比赛中挑战自我，所以我必须放弃十天的正常功课和没有压力的轻松感。但我依然高兴，因为适宜的放弃弃之后，我更加专注于自己的选择。

让我们回到那个岔路口吧，你会选择哪一个呢?我，选择挑战此地!

From the passage we know that thousands of endangered animals are facing the threat of being bought and sold on the internet. Traders make a great profit from it，which is illegal.

As is often read in the newspaper reports， wild life especially the rare species are 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.

Therefore， it is high time for us to take quick action to protect them. First of all， it’s quite necessary for every citizen to realize the importance of animal protection. Only by knowing its importance can people develop a sense of responsibility. In addition， the government should pass some laws to forbid any hunting of rare animals.

If I were one of the endangered animals， I would hope that man could be a good friend of mine rather than my enemy.

从文中我们知道成千上万的濒危动物面临的威胁是在网上买卖。交易员有很大的利润,这是非法的。

经常在报纸上看到报道,野生动物尤其是稀有物种濒临灭绝。人类正在试图猎杀野生动物,也赚了不少钱,,当然,导致动物的数量急剧减少。

因此,是时候为我们迅速采取行动来保护他们。首先,它是非常必要的对于每一个公民意识到保护动物的重要性。只有通过了解它的重要性人们可以开发一种责任感。此外,政府应该通过一些法律来禁止任何捕猎珍稀动物。

如果我是濒危动物之一,我希望那个人可能是我的一个好朋友而不是我的敌人。

Halloween (or Halloween) is an annual holiday observed on October 31, which commonly includes activities such as trick-or-treating, attending costume parties, carving jack-o-lanterns, bonfires, apple bobbing, visiting haunted attractions, playing pranks, telling scary stories, and watching horror films.

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。

关于感恩节的英语作文（一）

Once President Roosevelt’s house was broken into and lots of things were stolen.Hearing this， one of Roosevelt’s friends wrote to him and advised him not to take it to his heart so much. President Roosevelt wrote back immediately， saying，”Dear friend， thank you for your letter to comfort me. I’m all right now. I think I should thank God. This is because of the following three reasons： firstly， the thief only stole things from me but did not hurt me at all； secondly， the thief has stolen some of my things instead of all my things； thirdly， most luckily for me， it was the man rather than me who became a thief…”

It was quite unlucky for anyone to be stolen from.. However， President Roosevelt had such three reasons to be so grateful. This story tells us how we can learn to be grateful in our life.

对任何人来说，家中失窃绝非幸事。但是，罗斯福总统却能找到三个感恩的理由。这个故事告诉我们，生活中，我们应该学会感恩。

Being grateful is an important philosophy of life and a GREat wisdom.. It is impossible for anyone to be lucky and successful all the time so long as he lives in the world. We should learn how to face failure or misfortune bravely and generously and to try to deal with it. If so， should we complain about our life and become frustrated and disappointed ever since then or should we be grateful for our life， rise again ourselves after a fall？ William Thackeray， a famous British writer， said， “Life is a mirror. When you smile in front of it ， it will also smile and so will it when you cry to it.” If you are grateful to life， it will bring you shining sunlight. If you always complain about everything， you may own nothing in the end. When we are successful， we can surely have many reasons for being grateful， but we have only one excuse to show ungratefulness if we fail.

感恩是一项重要的处世哲学，是生活的大智慧。人生在世，不可能事事顺通。对于各种失败和不幸，我们要豁达大度，勇敢地面对，并想办法解决。面对困难，我们是懊恼抱怨、沮丧气馁，陷入绝望，还是对生活满怀感恩之心，跌倒后再爬起来呢？英国著名作家威廉·萨克雷说过，“生活是一面镜子，你对它笑，它也会对你笑；你对他哭，它也会对你哭。”如果对生活感恩，你的生命将充满灿烂的阳光；如果一味怨恨，终将一无所获。我们成功时，有千万个理由感恩生活，而失败时，只要一个借口就会表现出忘恩负义。

I think we should even be grateful to life whenever we are unsuccessful or unlucky. Only by doing this can we find our weakness and shortcomings when we fail. We can also get relief and warmth when we are unlucky. This can help us find our courage to overcome the difficulties we may face， and receive great impetus to move on. We should treat our frustration and misfortune in our life in the other way just as President Roosevelt did. We should be grateful all the time and keep having a healthy attitude to our life forever， keep having perfect characters and enterprising spirit. Being grateful is not only a kind of comfort， not an escape from life and nor thinking of winning in spirit like Ah Q. Being grateful is a way to sing for our life which comes just from our love and hope.

我想，不论是遭遇失败还是不幸，我们都应该感谢生活。只有这样，失败后，我们才能发现自己的缺点和不足，不幸时，我们还能感受到安慰和温暖。这些就能帮我们找回勇气，战胜困难，并获取前进的强大推动力。我们应像罗斯福总统那样，换一个角度去看待生活中的失败和挫折，永远对生活充满感恩，才能时刻保持健康的心态，积极地生活，并能保持完美的人格和不断进取的精神。感恩不仅仅是一种精神慰藉，也不是对现实的规避，更不是阿Q的精神胜利法。感恩源于我们对生活的热爱和希望，它是我们歌颂生活的一种方式，作文网《关于感恩节的英语作文》。

Ground rules

One of my favorite teachers at Southeast Missouri State University in Cape

Girardeau was known of his droll sense of humor. Explaining his ground rules to

one freshman class, he said, "Now I know my lectures can often be dry and

boring, so I don‘t mind if you look at your watches during class. I do, however,

object to your pounding them on the desk to make sure they‘re still

running."

基本原则

位于吉拉多海角的密苏里东南州立大学有一位我非常喜欢的老师，他奇特的幽默感很是出名。在对一个新生班级讲解他的基本原则时，他说：“我知道我的讲课可能经常会枯燥乏味，了无生趣，所以如果你们在上课时看表我并不介意。不过我坚决反对你们将表在课桌上猛敲看它们是不是还在走。”

In a night, : in the evening, I sit at my window desk alone, double album, sections of the past emerge in the bottom of my heart, in the end, my eyes stay on a photo of a bit too yellow. That is a picture of I and my grandma in the buddhist temple, looking at, the tears will not flow tripped over wet skirt...

My grandma died in our country during his first year in small. Love me very much, when she had any delicious food, also loathe to give up myself to eat, always leave me to enjoy. She also often go out for a walk with me, tell everyone how obedient he praised me, how clever. Thought of here, my heart is a qualm.

My grandma is also a master of story telling. On one occasion, she said a "tortoise and the hare" story to me. Tell me no matter what to do, we always uphold the "to win without pride and lose with grace" spirit, even fools, consult with an open mind. Once upon a time, my grandma also said "Wolf" story, told me: a person must be based on "integrity", on the basis of credit, do not deceive people, do a gentleman in the society. Grandma though not read many books, but she said every one word, one sentence, is rich in meaning expression, let I lifetime.

Today, my grandma has gone, how can this dont call me sad?

I always keep my grandma to endless thoughts into words, written in the book of the small paper, hope that my missing small paper boat will bring in the kingdom of heaven is grandma. Grandma, you also to my dream, accompany my chat, talk!

在一个夜深人静、月明星稀的晚上，我独自坐在窗前的书桌，翻翻相簿，一段段往事在心底浮现，最后，我的目光停留在一张稍嫌泛黄的照片上。那是我和奶奶在佛堂的合影，看着看着，泪水便不听使唤的流湿了衣襟……

我的奶奶在我国小一年级的时候便去世了。她在世的时候非常疼爱我，有任何好吃的食物，也舍不得自己吃，总是留给我享用。她也时常带我出去散步，逢人便夸我多么听话、多么乖巧。想到这儿，我的心中又是一阵酸楚。

奶奶也是个说故事高手。有一次，她说了一个「龟兔赛跑」的故事给我听。告诉我不管做什么事，总要秉持着「胜不骄，败不馁」的精神，还要不耻下问，虚心请教。曾经，奶奶也说过「狼来了」的故事，告诫我：作人必须建立在「诚信」的基础上，讲信用、不骗人，做个社会上的君子。奶奶虽说没有读过多少书，但她所说的每ㄧ字、每ㄧ句，都是富含深意的言论，让我终身受用。

住家旁有一块地，上面种了许多蔬菜与花花草草。假日闲暇时，我总喜欢到菜园去，望着奶奶的背影，我看不到忧愁与哀伤，可不是吗?奶奶总是高高兴兴的迎接生活中的每ㄧ天啊!我没有半点犹豫，立刻卷起袖子帮忙捉菜虫了。这儿可说是奶奶和我的天堂呢!如今，奶奶已经走了，这怎么能叫我不难过呢?

我总是把我对奶奶无止尽的思念化为文字，写在小纸船上，希望小纸船能将我的思念带给远在天国的奶奶。奶奶，您也到我的梦里，陪我聊聊天、说说话吧!

Where There is Life, There is Music

What is music, no one can explain.

Just imagine for a moment that you are sitting in a magnificent concert

hall. The conductor waves his shiny baton with a graceful swing through the air.

A beautiful melody floats slowly around you

You sit quietly with your eyes shut, your heart open. The delicate vibratos

of the violins carry you to a mood of heavenly bliss. An airy solo of the flute

draws you to the imagination, the notes flow like some jumping swallows dancing

and singing calling for the coming of Spring.

I like music from my childhood. My father often says when I was a baby I

would never go to sleep without soft, beautiful lullabies crooning around my

ears . Now music is a part of my life. When I feel tired, disappointed or in low

spirits, I usually turn to music. Music, nothing but only music can have so

wonderful an effect on my heart, on my pond of feeling.

Music comes with us. Where there is life, there is music. Where there is

music, there is hope. It lies in everyday life, in everyone’s life, in

everything we see, in everything we hear-- in the rhythm of the sea, in the

whisper of a gentle wind, in the melody of a bird’s singing, in the harmony of

village chimes. You can hear music wherever you may go . A man who doesn’t know

music will lose half the world. A nation that pays little or no attention to

music will be a sad nation. A world without music would be the one for the dead

and devils.

So dear friends, let’s open our arms to embrace music and enjoy it

throughout our lives. Love music and love life.

Thank you.

哪里有生活，哪里就有音乐

音乐是什么，无人能解释清楚。

想象此刻你正坐在富丽堂皇的音乐大厅里，乐队指挥手中的闪闪发亮的指挥棒在空中优雅的舞动。悠扬悦耳的音调飘扬在你的周围。

静静地闭上双眼，敞开心扉。小提琴精妙的振颤会把你带入到天堂祈福的心境;大提琴微弱低沉的叹息会使你想起一位老人在风中散步，沉浸在童年时代宁静和挚爱的回忆中;长笛轻快的独奏使你从想象中猛醒;流畅的音符像一群飞舞歌唱的燕子在呼唤春天的来临。

从童年时代音乐就是我的挚爱。父亲经常说，我在襁褓中，没有温柔甜美的摇篮曲在耳边低吟，就难以入眠。现在音乐是我生活的一部分。每当我感到疲倦，失望或情绪不振时，我就求助于音乐。音乐，除了音乐，没有什么对我的身心和情感有如此奇妙的影响。

音乐与我们同在，哪里有生活，哪里就有音乐;哪里有音乐，哪里就有希望。它存在于每个人的日常生活，存在于我们耳闻目睹的一切事物之中;存在于海的波涛，清风细语，悦耳鸟鸣，和谐的乡村钟声之中;无论你身在何处，都会听到音乐。一个不了解音乐的人将失去半个世界。一个不重视音乐的民族将是一个悲哀的民族。一个没有音乐的世界将是逝者和恶人生存的世界。

亲爱的朋友，让我们伸开双臂去拥抱音乐，在人生中享受音乐的乐趣。热爱音乐，热爱生活。

谢谢大家。

Saving Water

The world is not only hungry,but also thirsty for water. This may seem strange to you, since nearly 75 % of the earths surface is covered with water. But about 97% of this huge amount is sea water, or salt water. Man can only drink and use the other 3% -- the fresh water that comes from rivers, lakes,underground, and other sources. And we cannot even use all of that, because some of it is in the form of icebergs and glaciers. Even worse, some of it has been polluted.

However, as things stand today, this small amount of fresh water, which is constantly being replaced by rainfall, is still enough for us. But our need for water is increasing rapidly-- almost day by day. Only if we take steps to deal with this problem now can we avoid a severe worldwide water shortage later on. A limited water supply would have a bad effect on agriculture and industry. Let me give you just one small exampie of how necessary water is to industry. Did you know that to produce a single ton of steel, it takes about 91, 000 liters of water?

We all have to learn how to stop wasting our precious water. One of the first steps we should take is to develop ways of reusing it. Experiments have already been done in this field, but only on a small scale. For us, the systems are as important as the spacecraft.

节约用水

我们的世界不仅饥饿，而且因为缺水而干渴。对你来说这可能似乎奇怪：因为我们的地球表面75%由水覆盖着。但是，这巨大的数量中97%是海水、或咸水。只有剩下3%

的来自河流、湖泊、地下，和其他来源的淡水供人们饮用、使用。即使如此，这3%的水源我们也不能够完全使用，因为有些淡水是以冰山或冰河的形式存在。更糟糕的是，一些水源已遭受了污染。

然而，尽管按现状看来，这些少量的淡水即使时常转化成雨水的形式，对我们来说，也仍然够用。可是我们对水的需求却日益迅速增长。我们只有现在采取措施解决这一问

题才能避免未来世界范围内的严重水资源缺乏。限量供水会对农业和工业产生不良的影响。我们举个小小的事例就能证明水对工业的必要性。每生产一吨钢材就要消耗91，000升水，你知道吗?

我们必须杜绝对宝贵水资源的浪费。我们应该采取的第一步就是要发展水再利用的方法。该领域的实验已在进行，但是仅是小规模地进行。水资源再利用系统的重要性

对我们而言，与空间站不相上下。

Nowadays, with the improvement of the people’s living standard, some people form a habit of raising small or domestic animals as pets. Some raise small dogs or cats as their pets while others raise various birds or fishes as their pets. There are still even some people raising snakes and other unusual animals as their pets.

Does anyone have the same opinion of raising animals as pets? No, some people object to the idea of raising animals as pets. To them, animals have their own right to live a natural life like human beings. On the other hand, the way people raise animals as pets have a negative influence on the surroundings such as dogs’ barking at midnight, dogs’ chasing people on the street and so on. What’s more, some animals will transmit some diseases.

In my opinion, I do not like the idea to raise animals at pets. Animals have their own right to lead a life as they like. We should not deprive them of their natural right. In this way, we will live in a peaceful world in harmony with the other living creatures.

如今，随着人们生活水平的提高，有些人养成了饲养小动物或家畜作为宠物的习惯。一些养小狗或猫作为他们的宠物，而其他人饲养各种鸟类或鱼类作为他们的宠物。甚至还有一些人饲养蛇和其他不寻常的动物作为他们的宠物。

任何人都有相同的意见，饲养动物作为宠物吗?不，有些人反对将动物作为宠物饲养。对他们，动物有他们自己的权利，生活像人类一样自然。另一方面，人们饲养动物作为宠物的方式对环境有负面影响，如狗的叫声在半夜，狗追逐人在街上等。更甚的是，有些动物会传播某些疾病。

在我看来，我不喜欢养宠物。动物有他们自己的权利，过他们喜欢的生活。我们不应该剥夺他们的自然权利。这样，我们将生活在一个和平的世界中，与其他生物和谐相处。
