我的头发短短的，粗粗的眉毛下面长着一双明亮的眼睛，不大不小的鼻子下面长着一张能说会到的嘴巴，个子不高不矮，我最大的优点是爱看书。

我看的书很多，比如：《福尔摩斯探案集》、《十万个为什么》、《生活中的科学》……我每次一看起书来就迷在里面，听不到各种声音。有一次中午吃饭的时候，我坐在沙发上看书，妈妈叫我吃饭了，我在看书，没反应过来，结果被妈妈大骂一顿，还说我是“书呆子”。每晚临睡的时候，我都总是习惯性地拿起书来看，妈妈上楼的声音，我没发觉，结果被妈妈抓个正着，我只好收拾书，去睡觉。

虽然我被妈妈大骂几次，但我也学习到很多知识，在书中我被福尔摩斯的精明折服了，被《十万个为什么》带进千奇百怪科学世界，也在《生活中的科学》中学习到许多生活常识……

我的缺点是做事马虎，我许多考试是因为马虎没有满分，我有一次数学应用题没有加括号，结果扣了六分，考了九十四分。为此马虎成我成长路上的绊脚石。

这就是我——林正昊，一个爱看书又做事马虎的男孩。

Based on historical documents, modern survey and statistics, as well as the result of predecessor studies, the trend and main process of forest dynamics are recognized. The forest area and forest coverage rates for each province of China from 1700 to 1949 are es- timated backward by every 50 years. Linking the result with modern National Forest Inventory data, the spatial-temporal dynamics of Chinese forest in recent 300 years (AD 1700–1998) is quantitatively analyzed. The study shows that in recent 300 years, the forest area in current territory of China has declined by 0.95×108 hm2 (or 9.2% of the coverage rate) in total, with a trend of decrease and recovery. Before the 1960s, there was a trend of accelerated de- scending. The forest area was reduced by 1.66×108 hm2 (or 17% of the coverage rate) in 260 years. While after the 1960s, there has been a rapid increase. The forest area increased by 0.7×108 hm2 (or 8% of the coverage rate) in 40 years. The study also shows that there is a significant spatial difference in the dynamics of forest. The amplitudes of increasing and de- creasing in western China are both smaller than the ones in eastern China. During the rapid declining period from 1700 to 1949, the most serious decrease appeared in the Northeast, the Southwest and the Southeast, where the coverage rate in most provinces dropped over 20%. In Heilongjiang Province, the coverage rate dropped by 50%. In Jilin Province, it dropped by 36%. In Sichuan Province and Chongqing Municipality, it dropped by 42%. In Yunnan Prov- ince, it dropped by 35%. During the recovery period 1949–1998, the western provinces, mu- nicipality and autonomous regions, including Ningxia, Gansu, Inner Mongolia, Si- chuan–Chongqing, Yunnan, Tibet, Xinjiang and Qinghai, etc, the increase rates are all below 5%, while the eastern provinces, municipality and autonomous regions (except Heilongjiang, Hubei, Jiangsu–Shanghai) have achieved an increase over 5%, among which the Guang- dong–Hainan, Guangxi, Anhui, Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei, Shandong, Henan, Zhejiang, and Fu- jian have an increase over 10%. 有关介绍美国的英语作文篇2

A history of long and effortless success can be a dreadful handicap,but,if properly handled,it may become a driving force.When the United States entered just such a glowing period after the end of the Second World War,it had a market eight times larger than any competitor ,giving its industries unparalleled economies of scale.Its scientists were the worlds best,its workers the most skilled.American and Americans were prosperous beyongd the dreams of the Europeans and Asians whose economeics the war had destroyed.

It was inevitable that this primacy should have narrowed as other countries grew richer.Just as inevitably,the retreat from predominace proved painful.By the mid 1980s Americans had found themselves at a losss over their fading industrial competitiveness.Some huge American industries,such as consumer electronics,hand shrunk or vanished in the face of foreign competitiong.By 1987 there was only one American television maker left,Zenith.(Now there is none :Zenith was bought by SouthKoreasLGElectronics in July.)Foreign made cars and textiles were sweeeping into the domestic market.Americas machine-tool industry was on the ropes.For a while it looked as though the makeing of semiconductors,whidh America had invented and which sat at the heart of the new computer age,was going to be the next caualty.

All of this caused a crisis of confidenc.Americans stopped taking prosperity ofr granted .They began to believe that their way of doing business was failing,and that their incomes would therefore shourtly begin to fall as well .The mind -1980s brought one inquiry after another into the causes ofAmericas in dustrial decline.Thir sometimes sensational findings were filled with warnings about the growing competitiong from overseas.

How things have changed!I1995 the United States can look back on five years of solid growth while Japan has been struggling.Few Americans attribute this Self doubt has yielded to blind pride.American industry has changed its structure ,has gone on a diet ,has learnt to be more quik witted,according to Richard Cavanagh,executive dean of Harvards Kennedy School of Government.It makes me proud to be an American just to see how our businesses are improving theirproductivity,says Stephen Moore of the Cato Institute ,a think tank in Washington,DC,And William Sahlman of the Harvard Business School believes that people will look back on this perido as a golden age of business management in the United States.

I think that reading is can let a person look forward to, it is like to take me into the story, because either the length of the text and illustrations, will let me have a deep experience, and text also seems to have wings, that kind of feeling is good.

我觉得，阅读是会让人期待的，它彷彿是带我进入了故事中，因为不管是文字的长短或插图，都会让我有深深的体会，而且文字也好像长出了翅膀，那种感觉真是美好。

我非常喜欢阅读，我觉得阅读应该 要改写成“悦”读，因为，只有喜爱阅读，把看到的内容记在脑子里，才能真正得到收获，不是看了就算了，这样是没有用的。我看了伟人传，学到了伟人的“精神”与“态度”;看了小木偶，启发了我的想像力;阅读了白雪公主，让我知道不可以乱相信别人;看过丑小鸭，让我不会从小的时候的面貌，来判断别人以后的长相。

喜欢读书的人，总是沉浸在故事书的趣味之中，让我的心灵打开了一扇窗，让我的世界变得更加美好!而我，常因为看书而忘了要做该做的事，我常常在写功课时看书，结果被妈妈骂得很惨;而不喜欢看书的人，感觉拿起一本厚厚的书，像是要写一百张数学考卷那么痛苦，痛苦烦闷到都想自杀了，那时候，我的心情就像被熊熊大火烧过的森林，那么的空虚。

不喜欢读书，而满脑子都是电玩的人，就像乞丐一样，需要我们帮忙;但有些人虽然喜欢阅读，最后还是迷上了电玩，就算以前得到了再多的知识，也还是会忘记阅读的乐趣的。
