There is nothing complicated about eating a proper diet. For good health,

eat a variety of foods. Do not eat the same foods day after day! Foods should be

selected everyday from each of basic four. They are the four groups of food

essential to proper nutrition: the milk group, meat group, vegetable-fruit

group, and bread- cereal group, Your body will then be supplied with all the

nutrients it requires; they are water, minerals, carbohydrate, fats and oils,

proteins, and vitamins. A persons diet is determined by his attitudes, likes

and dislikes. If you eat foods from each of the basic four groups each day, you

will have a balanced diet.

Throughout history man has changed his physical environment in order to

improve his way of life。 With the tools of technology he has altered many

physical features of the earth。 He has transformed woodlands and prairies into

farms and made lakes and reserviors out of rivers for irrigation purposes or

hydroelectric power。 Man has also modified the face of the earth by draining

marshes and cutting through mountains to build roads and railways。

However， mans changes to the physical environment have not always had

beneficial results。 Today， pollution of the air and water is an increasing

danger to the health of the planet。 Each day thousands of tons of gases e out of

the exhausts of motor vehicles。 Smoke from factories pollutes the air of

industrialized areas and the surrounding areas of the countryside。 The pollution

of water is equally harmful。 The whole ecological balance of the sea is being

changed and industrial wastes have already made many rivers lifeless。

Now environmental protection is more pressing than ever before。 As we know，

massive destruction of environment has brought about negative effects and even

poses a great threat to mans existence。 Indifference to these problems will

mean mitting suicide。 Therefore， effective measures should be taken and laws

passed to conserve environment。 Otherwise，man is certain to suffer from the

serious consequences caused by this lack of care for his living

surroundings。

In my mind, there are many people who is worth I admire, but there is a person of character, and make my lifelong benefit - cleaner.

Remember in the cold morning, on my way to school, vaguely see a person, the man with a broom in sweeping the floor. Walk into a look, turned out to be cleaner. Just then, I thought: such a cold day, the cleaner in sweeping the floor, isnt it cold? Saw her wearing a uniform, with masks, left hand holding a broom, her right hand to the dustpan, thorn face brings her ears are red.

Her left hand holding a dustpan, right hand holding a broom, and patience and carefully. She sweep up the stolen goods, and sweep up the piece of stolen goods, such action also dont know how to repeat again. Look, her hands how tacit understanding! If dustpan full, carefully pour into the truck, afraid to drive just sweep clean and dirty. Pour out, and then began to sweep. I see from her eyes, she is how I hope you will no longer throw stolen goods, keep the road clean. At this time, the wind is blowing, blow the roads and dirty. The cleaners helplessly say: "alas, true cant, I need to scan again." And then, call forth spirit said: "it doesnt matter, I will be able to finish cleaning!" Then Saul again, and this time, she first sweep rubbish, and dustpan sweep the garbage into the dustpan. Full use broom mouth, dont let the junk, and into the truck. I think: it can save more time, sweep the garbage out. Thinking about thinking, cleaner to sweep out the rubbish. I dont went into his YouZi ceasing, laughingly said: "thats very kind of you! I want to learn from you that silently dedication spirit!" Cleaners listened, smiling eyes.

This is the person I admire most. One day, a person in silently every day. Is the persons character is not worth me to learn?

在我的脑海里，有许多人值得我佩服，但有一个人的品格，使我终生受益――清洁工。

记得在寒冷的早晨，在上学的路上，隐隐约约看到一个人，那个人拿着扫帚在扫地。走进一看，原来是清洁工。就在这时候，我想：这么冷的天，清洁工在扫地，难道不冷吗?只见她穿着制服，带着口罩，左手拿着扫帚，右手拿着簸箕，刺脸的风把她的耳朵都吹红了。

她左手拿着簸箕，右手拿着扫帚，认真而又耐心的扫着。只见她把这片赃物扫起来，又把那片赃物扫起来，这样的动作也不知道要重复多少遍。再瞧，她的双手配合的多么默契呀!要是簸箕满了，就小心翼翼地倒进垃圾车里，生怕把刚刚扫赶净的地又弄脏了。倒完了，就又开始扫了。我从她的眼睛里看到，她是多么希望大家不再乱扔赃物，保持道路昔日的干净。这时，大风吹来，把道路又吹脏了。这位清洁工无奈的说：“唉，真没办法，我又要重新扫了。”接着，又振起精神说：“没关系，我一定能扫完的!”说完又开始扫了，这回，她先把垃圾扫在了一起，又拿簸箕把垃圾扫进簸箕里。满了就用扫帚挡住口，不让垃圾掉下来，再到进垃圾车里。我想：这样能够节约多点时间，把垃圾扫完。想着想着，清洁工就把这些垃圾扫完了。我不犹自住地走进他，笑盈盈地说：“您真好!我要向您学习那种默默奉献的精神!”清洁工听了，眼睛笑眯眯的。

这就是我最敬佩的人。一个每天起早贪黑、默默奉献的一个人。难道这个人的品格不值得我去学习吗?

The cold air has come for a while, I stayed at my house all the time, as there was nothing for me go do, I watched the movies. When I saw the beach and sunshine in the movie, I miss the sunshine so much. Today is lucky for me, the sun finally comes out, I decide to go out for a walk and take in the fresh air. The breeze blows me softly, I can sense the coming of spring, I walk into a coffee shop and choose a table which is near the window. I sit down and watch people just walk by, I see all kinds of face expressions, I try to read them. There is a girl who is talking to his boyfriend, maybe he is proposing her, I can see from the girl’s sweet smile. There is another man sitting alone, may he is waiting for his wife. I have a great time in the bright afternoon.

冷空气来了有一阵子了，我整天呆在屋子里，由于没有事情做，我看了很多电影。当我在电影中看到海滩和阳光，我很想念阳光。今天我很幸运，太阳终于出来了，我决定外出走在，呼吸新鲜的空气。威风轻轻吹过我，我可以感觉得到春天的到来，我走进一家咖啡店，选了一张靠窗的桌子。我坐了下来，看着人们经过，我看到了各种各样的表情，我尝试着去解读。有一个女孩正在和他的男朋友聊天，也许他正在向她求婚，我从女孩甜蜜的微笑中就可以看出来。另外一个男人独自坐着，也许他正在等待他的妻子。我在明媚的午后度过了愉快的时光。

When we are little, we are eager to grow up, so that we can break free of

parental discipline even leave them far. Since we were a little child, we have

to be governed by teachers in school and endure parent’s ramble at home. These

are our growing pains. Besides, study, friendship, sometimes campus romance may

trouble us. However, as we grow up, we gradually find that things mentioned

above are not pains at all. There are much more serious things brother us. For

example, we may be less sensitive to the simple happiness and loss them

gradually. It’s hard for us to laugh from our heart. Moreover, we are in the age

that we are eager to grow up but afraid to grow up either. The ambivalence

afflicts us a lot. However, no matter what happens in our growth, they are parts

of our lives. We must accept them actively and do not let the pains prevent us

from happiness.

Mid-autumn day is a special festival in China, which is one of the

traditional Chinese festivals. Itfalls on the 15th day of august lunar month

every year. Our Chinese will celebrate it on that day. I think there are not too

many people can reject he temptation of it. I like this festival very much. I

have two reasons.

First of all, mid-autumn has the deep meaning of reunite. In china, people

regard mid-autumn day as very important, so no matter where they are, they will

come back to their family if there is a chance. They don’t like celebrate this

festival outside, which will make them feel lonely. Thus, they will go home by

all means. Luckily, the government also pays great attention to this traditional

festival. There are laws to make sure people have holidays in that special day.

In the other word, mid-autumn festival gives a chance for family get

together.

Secondly, every family will prepare a big meal in that day. All the food is

delicious. It is good to have a big meal. I think nobody will not interest in

delicious food. The mooncake is a necessary decoration for mid-autumn day. It

tastes good, too. It is the traditional for a long time. How pleased to enjoy

the glorious full moon with mooncake!

This is why I love mid-autumn festival so much. It is funny and happy

time.

The class teacher and we discussed the "food security". In todays society, human food safety has been a serious threat.

Now the children all like to eat snacks, and addicted to eat. Although parents tell them who is bad to the body, but they still continue to buy snacks, just have a fair into a "sneak". In the snack, the children to buy one of the most dangerous, is the spicy dry tofu.

Understanding on the Internet, I learned the spicy dry tofu is composed of metamorphic pork, plastic bags, such as some are unsafe, unhealthy materials again. Look at the pictures, some of the staff in the processing, should put the foot on the above, this is how not health! So I advise you not to eat spicy dry tofu also dont eat snacks again as far as possible.

There are a lot of people like to eat mutton string, and believe. It tastes very good taste, and there is a sheep shan wei, let people think this is the authentic lamb kebabs. Not actually, mutton string is called mutton string, but who can guarantee that the meat must be above mutton? Perhaps is pork, this is good. Some are made of rat meat, do you still eat like this? You might ask: "sheeps shan wei?" Shan wei is put "mutton string" sheep sheep urine bubble in some time, and then a wash, so the "delicious" clusters of mutton string was baked out. Here, dont I advised, I believe that you have not eat?

Now, can not eat meat, vegetables are dangerous, most of the vegetables are chemical pesticides, so you must be clean and wash the vegetables to eat, after all, it may do harm to your familys health.

Now, food safety not guaranteed, and peoples health is threatened, so making the uncles and aunts of food to ensure food safety, ensure peoples health.

这一节课老师与我们讨论了“食品安全”。在当今社会，人类的食品安全已受到了严重的威胁。

现在的孩子们都喜欢吃零食，而且吃上了瘾。尽管家长们告诉他们那些是对身体不好的，但他们还是一如既往的买零食，只不过有光明正大变成“偷偷摸摸”。在零食中，孩子们买的最危险的，就是辣条了。

在网上了解，我的得知辣条是由变质的猪肉，塑料袋等一些极不安全，又不健康的材料制作而成。看那些图片，有些工作人员在加工时，竟把脚放在了上面，这是多么不卫生啊!所以我劝大家不要再吃辣条了也尽量不要再吃零食了。

羊肉串，相信也有很多人喜欢吃。它吃起来口感很好，而且有一股羊膻味，让人们以为这就是正宗的羊肉串了。其实不是，羊肉串虽叫羊肉串，但是谁能保证上面的肉一定是羊肉呢?说不定是猪肉，这还算好的。有些竟是用老鼠肉做的，这样你还吃的下去吗?你可能会问：“羊膻味又是怎么来的呢?”羊膻味是把“羊肉串”放在羊尿里泡上一些时日，然后冲洗一下，这样一串串“香喷喷”的羊肉串就被烤出来了。说到这里，不用我劝，相信你就已经不会再吃了吧?

现在，肉不可以吃，蔬菜也有危险，大部分蔬菜都会打农药，所以大家洗蔬菜时一定要清洗干净再吃，毕竟它会危害家人的健康。

现在，食品安全得不到保证，人们的健康受到威胁，所以制作食品的叔叔阿姨们要保证食品的安全，保证人们的健康。

第一篇：竞争与合作1

when it comes to competition and cooperation, some people always emphasize competition but neglect cooperation.

their reasons run as following: to begin with, they believe only competition can help them defeat their counterparts; in addition, they think competition is the only way to lead to success.

but some others hold different opinion. they think cooperation is as important as competition. they base their opinion on the following reasons: on one hand, cooperation can build trust between each other and help to bring long-term relationship; on another hand, cooperation can turn a small and weak business into a big and strong one.

from what has been discussed above, we may safely draw a conclusion that both competition and cooperation are essential to success and thus should be emphasized at the same time.

翻译：

在竞争与合作中，有些人总是强调竞争，而忽视了合作。

他们的理由是：首先，他们认为只有竞争才能帮助他们战胜对手;此外，他们认为竞争是通向成功的唯一途径。

但有些人持不同意见。他们认为合作和竞争一样重要。他们以一方面为基础的观点，一方面可以建立信任，另一方面可以把一个小而弱的企业变成一个大而强的关系。

通过上面的讨论，我们可以得出结论：竞争和合作都是成功的关键，因此应该同时强调。

第二篇：竞争与合作2

Chairman Mao once made a famous remark about competition,“To battle with God is great fun!To battle with Earth is great fun!To battle with people is great fun!” His words,although seeming a bit too aggressive,have illustrated that competition is never regarded as something formidable by a brave.

Competition exists throughout the evolution of nature and everyone’s life.Creatures compete to survive the merciless environment,eliminating weaker ones; Nations in the world compete for resources and power,and whichever fallen behind is beaten.As for individuals,ever since the very first day of our lives,we are forced into a competition with thousands of others around us,including taking examinations,applying jobs and striving for promotion,the results of which definitely determine our fate.Competition is as real a fact as the air around us that can neither be evaded nor be ignored.

Thus,my dear friends,do not fear competition.Accept it and enjoy it.With competition,you grow stronger,and you gain so much precious experience worth remembering of,regardless of what the outcome would be.Without competition,you cease to grow; you become a dead moth sealed in its own cocoon.

翻译：

毛主席曾对竞争一个著名的评论,“与上帝是伟大的战斗乐趣!与地球是很大的乐趣!与人战斗很有趣!“他的话说,虽然似乎有点过于激进,说明竞争从来没有被视为是强大的勇敢。

竞争存在整个大自然的进化和每个人的生活。生物生存无情的竞争环境,消除弱;世界上国家争夺资源和权力,并殴打哪个落后。至于个人,自从我们生活的第一天,我们被迫与成千上万的人在我们周围,竞争包括考试、申请工作,争取晋升,肯定的结果,决定我们的命运。竞争是我们周围的空气一样真正的事实,既不能回避也不能被忽略。

因此,亲爱的朋友,不要害怕竞争。接受它,享受它。与竞争,你变得更强,你获得很多宝贵的经验值得记住的,不管结果是什么。没有竞争,你停止成长,你成为一个死蛾子密封在自己的茧。

第三篇：竞争与合作3

Competition is a common phenomenon in our social life. We compete when we play games, we try to do better than others in our study, and there is constant competition for jobs, fame, wealth and so forth. We can say that, in a certain sense, competition is one of the motive forces of the development of the society.

We often find competition and cooperation at the same time. Think of a football game. During the game, one team is competing against the other, but each member of the team must cooperate with his teammates. Otherwise, they would lose the game however skilled every individual player might be.

While advocating competition, we must not forget cooperation. In modern society, cooperation is especially necessary because except for a few craftsmen and artists, most work is fulfilled with and through other people. In many cases, we can not achieve anything if there are only competition and no cooperation.

翻译：

竞争是我们社会生活中的一种常见现象。我们当我们玩游戏的竞争,我们试图做的比其他人在我们的研究中,有持续的就业竞争,名声,财富等等。我们可以说,在某种意义上,竞争是社会发展的动机的力量。

我们经常发现竞争与合作在同一时间。一场足球比赛。在比赛中,一个团队竞争,但是每个成员的团队必须与他的队友合作。否则,他们会输掉这场比赛但是熟练每个球员。

在提倡竞争的同时,我们不能忘记合作。尤其在现代社会,合作是必要的,因为除了少数工匠和艺术家,大部分工作是实现通过他人。在许多情况下,我们不能完成任何事如果只有竞争而没有合作。

我的假期生活结束了。这个假期以来，我没有好好的学习，只是一直在玩耍。尽管作业写完了，可是也费了不少心思来玩游戏。旁边还有父母一直在唠叨，我也不服。每天几乎都会挨吵、挨骂，我也受够了!我还是认为在学校的生活比较好些，在家里，每天听着父母的唠叨，听的耳朵起茧子了，还是唠叨得不停;在学校，除老师之外，没有人管，无拘无束，自由自在，自己也舒服些……哎!这个假期，这么快的就过去了，我真怀念我的学校，那所中学，晚上可以在操场上跑步、立定跳远，累了，回到班中休息;下晚自习后，洗个热水澡，躺在床上休息，不知不觉中就能睡着……真怀念小时候的生活，可是一切都过去了，不想长大的我渐渐长大了，珍惜现在的生活，好好学习，这就是我现在的目标了。

My little cousin is only ten, but he knows more than any students in his grade.

He hates noise, when it is very noisy, he will be very angry and shout until people become quiet. So of course, he doesn’t like public places.

It was the third day of our winter holiday. Today, there are many business in my mother’s netpany. So my mother told me to help my uncle who is the manager of my mother’s netpany. I sat in my mother’s office and help her answer the telephone.

While I was free, I was writing my homework. Although I also have a lot of time to do my homework, I still do it. Because in my mother’s office, I had nothing to do. If I did nothing, I was wasting my time and my life. I can’t do the foolish thing. We should take good use of our time.

There is a library in every university, some schools pay special attention

to the building of the library, because the library always on behalf of

presentation of a school. We can find all kinds of books in the room, library

provides convenience, but it still has space to improve.

On the one hand, we can check the information and go to the library every

day. It is open all the week, and the time is from 8 o’clock to 10 o’clock. For

students, they can go to the place all the time. What’s more, the book they want

is easy to find, they can check on the computer, and find the number

quickly.

On the other hand, the library needs to improve its equipment. The books on

the library are very old, it is not good for students to do some research paper.

The amount of the computer is not enough, I always find the students wait for

the computer, while some students need to use the computer for a long time. So

there will be better if increase the number of the computer.

Despite these drawbacks, I am generally pleased with the library and hope

that it will continue to make improvement in the future.

There are many arguments about the advantages and disadvantages of examinations. Some people think that examinations can help them review the lessons regularly, while others maintain that too many examinations have frustrated them.

To me, I think an examination is a good thing for both teachers and students. Teachers can find out how much the students have grasped and then improve their teaching; students, on the other hand, will learn what their weak points are and then study even harder.

All in all, we should not waste time arguing whether examinations are good or not. What we should do is to try to improve the exam system and try to adjust it to our different requirements.

My home village is a beautiful village far from the town. There is a clear brook arcs around the village, making the vil]age like a peninsula.

On one side of the brook, are farmlands stretching as far as the eyes can see with farmers busy in the fields. The sunshines brightly through the pure, fresh air. After dark, I liked to roam around the fields along footpaths. The feeling was excellent.

从小河畔望去，你会看到农民们在无垠的田地里忙碌的身影，明亮的阳光透过纯净的、清新的空气射过来。黄昏，我喜欢沿着田间小道漫步，那种感觉真是妙极了。

On the other side of the brook, there are many trees. There are lots of green bamboo groves. The trees offer nice shade in the summer, and birds like singing in them. The bamboos sway gently in the fresh summer breeze. The brook runs calmly anti quietly through all this greenness, making a very nice picture.

在小河的一边有许多树木，还有一片翠绿的竹林。夏天，绿树成荫，鸟儿们喜欢在这里唱歌，竹林在夏天的微风申轻轻摇摆,小河静静地在绿色中流淌，这些构成一幅美丽的。

This is my home village. It is far away in the country, but always with me,wherever I am.

这就是我的家乡。它虽远在乡下，但不论我身在何方，它都会伴随着我。

The Chinese New Year has a great history. In our past, people lived in an agricultural society and worked all year long. They only took a break after the harvest and before the planting of seeds. This happens to coincide with the beginning of the lunar New Year.

The Chinese New Year is very similar to the Western one, rich in traditions, folklores and rituals. It has been said that it is a combination of the Western Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year. This is hardly an exaggeration!

The origin of the Chinese New Year itself is centuries old - in fact, too old to actually be traced. It is popularly recognized as the Spring Festival and celebrations last 15 days.

Preparations tend to begin a month before the date of the Chinese New Year (similar to a Western Christmas). During this time people start buying presents, decoration materials, food and clothing. A huge clean-up gets underway days before the New Year, when Chinese houses are cleaned from top to bottom. This ritual is supposed to sweep away all traces of bad luck. Doors and windowpanes are often given a new coat of paint, usually red, then decorated with paper cuts and couplets with themes such as happiness, wealth and longevity printed on them.

The end of the New Year is marked by the Festival of Lanterns, which is a celebration with singing, dancing and lantern shows.

At the Festival, all traditions are honored. The predominant colors are red and gold. "Good Wish" banners are hung from the ceilings and walls. The "God of Fortune" is there to give Hong Baos. Lion dancers perform on stage continuously. Visitors take home plants and flowers symbolizing good luck. An array of New Years specialty food is available in the Food Market. Visitors purchase new clothing, shoes and pottery at the Market Fair. Bargaining for the best deal is commonplace!

The Internet is becoming more and more important in our daily life. On the net, we can learn news both at home and abroad and all kinds of other information as well. We can also send messages by e-mail, make phone calls, go to net school, read different kinds of books and learn foreign languages by ourselves. Besides, we can enjoy music, watch sports matches and play chess or cards. On the net, we can even do shopping, have a chat with others and make friends with them. In a word, the Internet has made our life more colourful.

Today I found time was a cruel thing. Whatever man is, time always goes on. It won’t stay to wait for somebody. You can’t use anything to exchange time. Time is also a fair thing.

Although you have a lot of money or you enjoy high reputation, time won’t leave them more. Today I found I hadn’t enough time. Although I have 50-day holiday, but I found I had a lot of things to do. I had a lot of homework to do and I had something necessary to do.
