Scientists are finding ways to stop air pollution especially in bigindustrial areas and densely-populated cities. They are studying new ways ofgenerating electricity that may be less damaging to the environment. In themeantime, many power plants are being modernized to give off less pollutedmaterial. Also, engineers try to design and locate new power plants to dominimum damage to the environment.
However, it may be that we still have a long way to go before we have aclean world. Nearly all of the countries are trying hard to prevent and controlair pollution. There indeed seems to be no end to tasks that environmentalistswill be required to do. People will continually find new ways to controlpollution.
Development and the Environment
It is undeniable that the worsening environment has become the biggest concern of the present-day world. Land resources are dwindling because of water loss and soil erosion. Waste gases poison the air we breathe. The rivers and lakes are polluted by waste dumped in them from factories. It is probably no exaggeration to say that deterioration of the quality of the environment threatens the existence of mankind itself.
Some people are of the opinion that the environmental problem is the price we have to pay for economic development. But I do not think that this argument is valid. After all, what is the point of economic growth if people’s lives are adversely alfected by worsening environmental pollution?
There is plenty of evidence to show that sustainable development can be achieved by balancing economic growth with protection of the environment. The key to achieving this is to make people aware of the seriousness of the problem. Both governments and ordinary citizens should join hands to make this world a better place to live in, not only for ourselves, but also for future generations.
环境与发展
不可否认的是环境恶化已成为当今世界上人们最担心的事了。因为水资源的浪费和土壤被侵蚀,土地资源逐渐缩小。我们呼吸着有毒的空气,河流和湖泊也被附近的工厂里排放出来的废弃物严重污染了。不夸大其词地说,环境质量的恶化很可能威胁人类的生存。
有些人说环境问题是我们为经济发展所付出的代价。对此,我不敢苟同。如果人类的生活被日益恶化的环境污染所影响的话,那么,经济发展的意义何在?
足够的证据表明:经济发展与环境保护的平衡可以实现可持续发展。关键是使人们意识到问题的严重性。政府和普通市民两方都应该携手使地球成为更适合人类居住的地方,这不仅是为我们自己,也是为我们的后代。
have a dream
Every one has his own dream.When I was a little kid ,my dream was even to have a candy shop of my own .But now ,when I am 16 years old ,standing here ,my dreams have already changed a lot.
I have got quite different experience from other girls.While they were playing toys at home,while they were dreaming to be the princesses in the story .I was running in the hard rain,jumping in the heavy snow,pitching in the strong wind.Nothing could stop me ,because of a wonderful call from my heart -- to be an athlete.Yeah ,of course ,I'm an athlete,I'm so proud of that all the time .
When I was 10 years old ,I became a shot-put athlete.The training was really hard ,I couldn't bear the heavy shot in my hands .But I always believe that "god only help those who help themselves".During those hard days,I find I was growing more quickly than others of the same age.To be an athlete is my most correct choice.But,I quit my team after entering high school because of a silly excuse.I really didn't want to stop my sports career anyway.
Today I say to you my friends that even though I must face the difficulties of yesterday ,today and tomorrow .I still have a dream .It is a dream deeply rooted in my soul.
I have a dream that one day ,I can run,jump and pitch just like I used to be.
I have a dream that one day , I can go back to my dream sports and join the national team.
I have a dream that one day ,I can stand on the highest place at the olympic games.With all the cameras pointing at me.I will tell everyone that I'm so proud to be a Chinese athlete!
This is my hope .This is the faith that I continue my steps with!!!
With this faith ,I will live though the strong wind and heavy rain ,never give up !
So let victory ring from my heart,from all of you.When we allow victory to ring .I must be the one!
In my imagination,I'm a bird ,a magical bird.I carry my dreams all with me by my big wings. I fly though the mountains ,though the forests ,over the sea,to the sun ,the warmest place in the aerospace!
Every night ,I have a dream ,I see a girl ---smiling
Sand writing
A story tells that two friends were walking through the desert.
During some point of the journey,they had an argument,and one friend slapped the other one in the face.The one who got slapped was hurt,but without saying anything,he wrote in the sand:Today my best friend slapped me in the face.
They kept on walking,until they found an oasis,where they decided to take a bath.The one who had been slapped got stuck in the mire and started drowning,but his friend saved him.After he recovered from the fright,he wrote on a stone :Today my best friend saved my life.
The friend ,who had slapped and saved his best friend,asked him,"After I hurt you,you wrote in the sand,and now ,you write on a stone ,why?"
the other friend replied:"when someone hurt us ,we should write it down in sand,where the winds of forgiveness can erase it away.But when someone does something good for us,we must engrave it in stone where no wind can ever erase it."
Learn to write your hurt in the sand and to carve your blessing in stone.
伤害只写在沙地上
有个故事讲的是在步行穿越沙漠的两位朋友
途中某处,俩人发生了争执,其中一位一巴掌扇在了另一位的脸上。被扇的那位很伤心,但他一言不发,在沙地上写道:“今天我最好的朋友扇了我一巴掌。”
他们继续前行,找到了一片绿洲,决定在此洗个澡。挨掴而受到伤害的那一位陷入泥潭而溺水了,好在他的朋友救了他。从惊魂中苏醒之后,他在石头上刻道:“今天我最好的朋友救了我。”
那位扇过他又救了他的朋友问道:“我伤害你时,你写在沙地上,而现在我救了你,你却刻在石头上,为什么呢?”
他回答说:“当别人伤害你时,我们只宜写在沙地上,宽恕的风会将它吹得了无痕迹。但当别人帮了我们时,我们就应当刻在石头上,什么风也不能将其磨灭。”
让我们学会把伤害写在沙地上,而把祝福刻在石头上班。
尊敬的老师、亲爱的同学们:
大家好!
每个人都有梦想,我也有,因为,没有梦想的人生将是空虚的,梦想的人生就如飞机失去航标,就如船只失去灯塔,不知路在何方、心归何处。
今天,我有一个梦想,我希望自己能考上一所中意的高中。我为着梦想,每一天都苦苦寻找着充实自己的辅导书与练习卷,为着光明的未来而努力。
梦想像一粒种子,种在“心”的土壤里,尽管它很小,却可以生根开花,假如没有梦想,就像生活在荒凉的戈壁,冷冷清清,没有活力。试问,我们在座的热血青年谁又愿意过那种行尸走肉的日子呢?我相信我不会,你们大家都不会。
有了梦想,也就有了追求,有了奋斗的目标,有了梦想,就有了动力。梦想,是一架高贵桥梁,不管最终是否能到达彼岸,拥有梦想,并去追求它,这已经是一种成功,一种荣耀。在追求梦想这个过程中,我们是在成长。
梦想催人前进,也许在实现梦想的道路中,会遇到无数的挫折和困难,但没关系,跌倒了自己爬起来,为自己的梦想而前进,毕竟前途不仅靠运气,也靠自己创造出来。
谢谢。
世界上有许多人在追寻幸福,可寻找到幸福的人却寥寥无几,这是因为他们忘了两个最重要的问题:第一,幸福是什么?第二,幸福在哪里?现在,我有这样一个故事。
一个20出头的年轻小伙子急匆匆地走在路上,对路边的景色与过往行人全然不顾。一个人拦住了他,问:"小伙子,你为何这样行色匆匆啊?"小伙子头也不回,飞快地向前跑着,只泛泛地甩了一句话:"别拦我,我在寻求幸福。"
在那成功的背后,必有一个苦涩的开端。
我从小就梦想着成为一名芭蕾舞明星。穿上漂亮的公主裙,系上粉红色的芭蕾舞鞋,然后,站在我梦寐以求的舞台上,用脚尖轻轻地点着大地,慢慢地旋转,旋转……
终于这美好的机会眷顾了我,凭着我的潜质和热情,我被允许插班到芭蕾舞三级表演班。我的明星旅程由此开始。
这是我第一天来到这个硕大无朋的练习房。推开练功房门,一看:四周全是镜子,好美!半开着的玻璃窗,阳光从外面洒进来,金灿灿的,仿佛是我的梦想在灿烂地闪耀。我换好我心爱的舞鞋,进入了这个"梦想"的练功房。
"下腰!下腰!你怎么总比别人高出一截?"老师的又一声呵斥使我明白:一切都是从零开始,万事都会有开端,只不过我的开端很苦。
"往下压,坚持住!"为了让我压好腿,老师干脆坐在我的腿上,把我的腿使劲往下压,他又扳正了我的身体,使我面向前腿,我与撕裂般的疼痛抗衡着。我忍住泪不哭,因为我明白:万事皆有开端。不经历风雨,怎么能见彩虹?
经过我不懈的努力,终于,在一个晴朗的上午,老师欣慰地告诉我:"你可以立脚尖了。"我终于换上了那粉粉的脚尖鞋。顿时,心里一阵激动,但这激动很快又被失落替代,一条布满荆棘的路,铺在了我面前。
我镇定地握住了把杆,挺胸,收腹,提气;我慢慢地拱出脚背,立起脚尖,好痛!我明白这只是一个开始。
一个小时过去了,我一直重复着这个枯燥的动作;两个小时过去了,我依旧在练。终于,我忍不住了,"疼!"我叫了出来。此时,我早已汗流浃背,感到全身毛孔都在胀大,额头上的汗珠更是不停地往外溢,脸上早已分不清哪是汗水、哪是泪水了,只觉得它们都在争先恐后地往外溢。我知道,我的脚长得很不符合跳芭蕾舞的要求,但我会付出比别人多一倍的努力。因为我坚信:开端的痛苦一定会换来成功的甜美!
经过我不懈的努力,终于我被"伯乐"发现,成为芭蕾独舞表演的最佳人选。
为了练好舞,我每天都会挤出时间。每次练完后,我可以把腿放到别人放不到的地方去,那种舒展的感觉是旁人难以感受到的。
舞台上,美丽的七彩灯光汇聚在我一个人身上,我快乐地舞着,我是一个用脚尖舞不停的小公主。最后一个漂亮的谢幕,博得了全场观众最热烈的掌声。我,成功了!
成功的背后,总是有一个苦涩的开端。只要拥有一种坚持、一种信念、永远都不放弃的精神,那苦涩的开始也蕴藏着一种甜美……

A Bet
Two pals are sitting in a pub watching the eleven-'clock news。A reporter es on about a man threatening to jump from the 20th floor of a downtown building。One friend turns to the other and says,'I'll bet you ten bucks the guy doesn't jump。'
'It's a bet,' agrees his buddy。
A few minutes later, the man on the ledge jumps,so the loser hands his pal a $10 bill。'I can't take your money,'his friend admits。'I saw him jump earlier on the six-o'clock news。'
'Me,too,'says the other buddy。'But I didn't think he'd do it again。
打赌
两个好朋友正坐在一家小酒馆内观看十一点的电视新闻。一则新闻报道说,有个男人威胁要从商业区一座大楼的二十层跳下去。一位朋友转身对另一位说道:“我敢赌十块钱,那家伙不会往下跳。”
“赌就赌,”他的朋友欣然同意。
几分钟后,站在墙檐上的男人跳了下去,因而赌输的那位交给他的朋友一张十元的钞票。“我不能拿你的钱,”他的朋友承认道,“早在六点的新闻里,我就已见他跳下去了。”
“我也是,”另一位说,“可我想他不会再跳了!”

Dear teachers and students:
hello everyone!
Today, I am very honored to stand under the solemn national flag and speak for you. As the young generation in the new century, we are the hope of our motherland.
The future of our motherland will surely belong to us. As students, the first thing we should do is to love our school. How can a student who doesn't even love his own school love his own country? Loving school is a very specific and close action. The school provides us with a good learning environment. Teachers work hard to cultivate us. This is the cradle of our growth. As students, we have no reason not to love our school.
Every student should protect the image and honor of the school like loving his own eyes; We should sincerely respect our teachers. We should consciously protect every plant of the school, beautify the natural environment, create an elegant cultural environment, and make the school a real garden and paradise; We should also love each other like our brothers and sisters. Let's love and learn from each other and grow up happily together!
We should cherish our time, study hard, work hard, win the excellent results of each school section, and contribute our part to the motherland in the future, so as to repay the school that raised us and our beloved teachers!
Thank you!
