范文

There is no doubt that traffic congestion becomes a growing worry for the

residents of most urban areas. Some major roads are regularly choked with

traffic in rush hours. The limited transport capacity contributes largely to the

vexing problem. How to solve the headache?.

The existing solutions to traffic jam mainly aim at creating metro bus

systems and broadening major roads. Widening the existing roads can solve

traffic snarls on some level. Soaring car ownership compounds the chronic

annoying problem, so we must sharply reduce the heavy reliance on cars and drive

a shift to the mass transportation. It is a cheap and good way. We can create a

system of customized bus routes and highlight the development of subways,

trolleys and light rail. The effective combination of these solutions will

enable the urban areas to possess a smooth traffic.

水是生命的源泉，生存的环境不能没有水。动物、植物，世界万物，人间万物的生存无一不贯穿这个共同的条件，水的重要不言自明。我们地球的`水资源虽然很丰富，但自然资源不是取之不尽的，水源在慢慢减少，就算水加工厂不断加工出好水，但地球上几十亿人用的水多还是加工厂加工出来的水多?当然是人用的水多了!

人不能不喝水，不吃饭可以维持生命二个星期，而不喝水却是一天也活不成。人每天要喝6杯到8杯水，如喝少了嘴唇会干燥开裂，还会出血，身体也会受到影响。而且人不仅每天要喝水，每天还要洗澡、洗衣、做饭、打扫等等，这些都需要水。

植物的生存也需要水，植物要汲取土壤中的水份来呵护自己，让自己屹立在风雨中，在任何环境中强壮起来，让死神远离。就连一小片树叶也要汲取水份来打扮自己，把自己养得绿油油的，非常漂亮。

动物也需要水，用水来维持自己的生命，特别是生活在水中的动物。生活在沙漠中的骆驼也不例外。在有水时，它把水喝饱了，把水存在驼峰里。等没水时渴了，再从驼峰里吸收一点，补充力量。才能在这没人烟的沙漠上寂寞地行走，去自私地享受海市的美丽。

水如此重要，我们一定要节约每一滴水。假如地球的水资源枯竭了，我们都会渴死，地球上的最后一滴水将是我们的眼泪。假如地球的水资源枯竭了，就会把二百万年前的悲剧重演，我们不希望发生。

节约水是每个人的义务，应该从生活中的一点一滴做起。我身边就经常发生一些可怕的事情：学术的体育办公室旁有一个洗手台，水龙头正一滴一滴地淌着水，时间长了，滴水就会汇成_;我跳舞时，每次都会跳得浑身大汗，到更衣室换衣服时，洗澡间的水龙头的水在滴，一定是有人洗澡后没关好，这又浪费了不少的水。仅这两件事浪费的水加起来，我们可以用来做多少事啊!一些干燥困难地区的孩子连喝水都难。

我们一定要珍惜每一滴水，从我们的生活中做起，为了我们美好的生活!为了我们共同生活的地球!

“站在历史的角度，我们可以看到现实的身影。”

--题记

这个世界有三种人。

第一种人，是为自己的。

孙膑带着一双完好的脚去见庞涓的时候，庞涓已经知道这位同门已经胜过他了，他是为自己的，他害怕失去已到手的权位。于是孙膑走了，留下一双残缺的脚，而在山谷里，当千万支乱箭向树下射来时，庞涓知道，他将为自己而死了。

赤壁。战船千艘。当曹操初起兵时，相信他还是为了天下黎民吧。然而人是会变的，当他权位越来越高，他的野心也越来越大，终于说出了：“吾为文王乎”之类的话的时候，他已经完全是为自己的人了。当黄盖的火船靠近的时候，曹操不知道，他将为自己而败了。

我们每一个人，都难免是这种人。当一个人只是为了自己时，他是脆弱而躁动的，名利蒙蔽了他的双眼。就像那些不断跳槽的年轻人，这是人生的悲哀。

第二种人，是为他人的。

枯井边，段誉慷慨陈词：“慕蓉公子，我决意要阻止你娶西夏公主，好让你与你表妹成婚。”段誉是可爱的，他愿意为了心爱的人的幸福，牺牲掉自己的一生，于是一颗冰冷的心终究可以被感化，两颗心，贴在了一起。

断肠崖前，杨过的悲呼惊天动地：“你不守信约。”十六年的苦等，十六年的生死茫茫，让他愁得两鬓也白了，只是他那时不知道，当他纵身跃下悬崖时，一切并没有结束，幸福才刚刚开始。为爱的坚守，为了小龙女的等待，终究不会白费。

我们每一个人，都可以成为这种人。

第三种人，是为世界的。

杜甫草堂里，有一个老人在永久地吟唱着生民的痛苦，“位卑未也忘忧国”，是的，在他看来，自己一人的欢乐与痛苦，是不足道的。只有天下的老百姓的欢乐与忧愁，才是紧系在他心上的心结。这样，他就会在痛苦中带着笑，在笑时流下心酸的泪。这样，他才能在无数困难面前不被打倒。

马克思在中学毕业时说：“只有当我们选择了为整个人类的幸福而奋斗的事业时，这样，身上的重担就不能把我们压倒，眼前的困难也不能使我们屈服，我们不再是为了自己一个人而欢乐或痛苦，而面对我们的骨灰，高尚的人们将流下热泪。”丁肇中就是这样一个为了整个人类而奋斗的人。

我们每一个人，都很难成为这种人。

或许我们会猛然明白，在很多时候，我们往往习惯地站在自我的角度去思考问题。其实，当你另一种角度去思考的时候，你的世界或许会柳暗花明。是啊，我们应该为谁呢?

大家对科学都不陌生吧!但是你们知道颜色在水中是可以反向扩散的吗?如果不知道，就请继续往下看。今天，我就来做这有趣的试验，下面就请见证奇迹吧!

晚上，做完作业后，我们闲着没事干，妈妈让我来做一个小试验。我拿来一个玻璃杯装满三分之一的水，然后拿出一根筷子和一张纸巾，再拿出黑色记号笔。

实验开始了，我和妈妈争先恐后开始做试验，可是事与愿违，我们俩都失败了。经过反复试验，总结我们失败的原因，最后我觉得是因为纸放太下，导致纸吸水太多，所以才会失败。

我让妈妈再按我说的重新试了一遍，果然，只见玻璃杯里的黑颜色在慢慢地往上爬动，我高兴地叫了起来，真神奇!颜色果真会往上爬。于是我也学着妈妈的样子，又做了起来。可是我费了九牛二虎之力，它还是在那儿纹丝不动，我气急败坏，有点火冒三丈，想大发雷霆了，自言自语道：“还说见证奇迹呢?现在可好了，就连这么一个简简单单地实验都完成不了，还怎么让别人相信我的话?”

正当我想放弃的时候，在旁边观看已久的妈妈对我说：“要相信自己，不要放弃，要不我来帮你画根线再试试。”我只好耐着性子一次又一次地做着试验，每一次都带着憧憬和希望，就在这时奇迹发生了，只见黑颜色在一点点的往上爬动，我简直不敢相信自己的眼睛，我真的成功了，我欢呼地跳了起来!

现在让我来告诉大家试验的步骤：首先，我们剪一条长条形的纸巾，再用记号笔在纸的下方画一笔，不用画太浓、太厚;然后，将纸条挂在筷子上，再把它放进玻璃杯里，但有一点大家要记住，只要把横线下的部分放进水中，就行了，这就是我的试验过程。但是，如果第一次试验不成功，千万别放弃哦!

通过这件事，让我明白，遇事需冷静，坚持就是胜利，才能事半功倍。

My childhood was unforgettable. When I was five years old, I went to the kindergarten every day. I had a lot of good time with my little friends. My parents took good care of me. I didn’t need to care about food and clothes and any other things. I was very happy in those days. But one day, my mother told me that she wouldnt pick me up after school. I was afraid of going home alone, so I started to cry and I was angry with my mother. Although I insisted that she and my father should protect me safely, they still disagreed with me. They thought it was good for me to learn to be independent. The next day after class, I had to take a bus to go back home. I forgot to see the bus route when I got on. Therefore, when the bus was more and more far from my home, I felt anxious. Finally, I got the last stop, and then took the same bus back home. When I told my parents my story, they never thought it is a mistake, on the contrary, they thought it is a useful experience. From then on, I dont let them meet me after school any more.

Nowadays many students like eating junk food.On the way home or to school,they usually buy some junk food in the shops,eating and walking.But junk food isnt nutritious,its harmful to their health.People who often eat junk food can get ill more easily.For our health,we should not eat junk food.We should eat more healthy food ,such as vegetables,fruit and meat.

面对同一棵树，有人看到了毛毛虫，有人看到了绿叶。真诚的人能够感知到他人的真诚，而骗子总觉得全世界的人都在说谎，善良的人会被别人的善举感动，在缺乏善心的人眼里善就是傻……从这个意义上讲，从不同的角度看待事物，会有不同的结果，无论做什么都换一种眼光去思考，会有更大的收获，角度不同，世界不同。

十九世纪末，美国密苏里有一个坏孩子，他偷偷地向邻居家的窗户扔石头，还把死兔子装进桶里放到学校的火炉里烧烤，弄得臭气熏天，他九岁那年，父亲娶了继母，并对继母说：“亲爱的，你要好好注意他，他是全郡最坏的孩，他偷偷向邻居家的窗户扔石头，还把死兔子装进桶里，放到学校的火炉里烧烤弄的臭气熏天，他9岁那年，父亲娶了继母，并对继母说：“亲爱的你要好好的注意他。他是全郡最坏的孩子，他让我头痛死了，说不定会在明天早晨以前就向你扔石头，或者妯别的什么坏事，让你防不胜防”继母好奇地走近这个孩子，有了了解后说：“你错了，他不是全郡最坏的孩子，而是最聪明的孩子，只是还没有找到发挥他聪明的地方罢了。”继母很欣赏这个孩子，在她的引导下，这个孩子的聪明找到了以挥的地立，后来成为美国当代蓍名的企业家和思想家，这个人就是戴尔·卡内基。

是母以另一种欣赏的角度来看待孩子，引导他，才使他有如此大的成就，换个角度看待事物，很可能就必变了某个人的一生，当你灰心丧气时，它使你重拾信心，在你落魄无依时，它也能让你精神饱满。

可从现实出发，似乎我们中的大部分人都偏向于固定式思维。约束了自己，缎想象的翅膀套上了锁链，不留一丝余地。

星子是一名三年级学生，他的老师是姓王，很漂亮，星子很喜欢她，那天老师在黑板上画了一个月亮，问同学们“弯弯的月亮像什么？”大家异口同声地回答“弯弯的月亮像小船!”星子没说话，因为她觉得弯弯的月亮还可以像镰刀，于是她站起来说了她想法，被王老师否定了，后来，星子也当了一名教师，那天她问同学们“弯弯的月亮像什么？”答案依旧如此，“像小船”星子问道：“有没有同学还有什么别的看法？”一位女同学小心翼翼地举起了手，“老师，我觉得弯弯的月亮像镰刀”。“说得好，同学就该有不同的想法”后来星子老了，退休了，收到了一封信，那是一封当代著名女作家的来信，其中有这么一段：老师，谢谢你，是您给我机会，替我插上了想象的翅膀，让我肯定自己的价值，才会有今天的辉煌，谢谢您!

事物的正确答案不止一个，想象的天空没有棱角，正如思维的空间没有天涯。

life is beautiful and happy but also hard sometimes.what should we do to deal with the life problems?just smile toword it and face it bravely.in this way， you will find lifes difficulties are fairly simple.just like the Stephen William Hawking ，whose life is not easy as the simple ones.but he has never given up.he just face the life with a brave and happy mood.they can simplify the things we are afraid of.just do it.life is in your hand and dont let the life handle you.what you can do and the powerful tool to fight for yourself is smiling and facing it .if you want， you can do it .

As is known to all， food is a priority for the mon people.Recently，

however， reports about food problems have often been seen in the newspapers，

showing that people have always been concerned about what they eat every day.

The reason for this problem is that some of the food producers are too fond of

making money， leading to the result that they use whatever will make the food

look good or taste better without considering the bad consequences。 This is not

normal because people just cannot live without eating anything.

So we should take all the measures necessary to forbid the food producers

to make food that is not safe enough. Laws should be strengthened and the

government should have more control over these producers。 Only when people are

no longer worried about whether their food is safe or not can they enjoy a

better life.

Recently, the news reported a fireman was retired and he handed in an application for his dog, which had worked with him for more than eight years. The fireman wanted his “brother” to go home with him, because the dog had also came to his time for retirement. The story moves so many people, the relationship between animal and human being is always the most touching. Dogs are men’s loyal friends, their affection to master is pure and true. In the movie Hachi, the dog spends all his life to wait for the return of his master. Everybody can’t help tearing when they see this scene. The fireman and his dog had been a team for many years and they are families. There are so many stories like them, animal are our friends, the harmonious environment will be built if animals and human beings get well along.

A boy went to a shop and bought a pencil and other things. When he was going to pay the bill, he took out his wallet and found he had not enough money to pay. He felt awkward. At that moment, an old man who was in charge of the shop smiled and said to the boy that he could give the rest of the money next time. The boy was so shocked, as the old man trusted him so much. When the boy went home, he remembered it all the time. So the next morning, when he passed the shop, he gave the money without hesitation. Integrity is priceless and decides who we are.

一个男孩去了一家商店买了一支铅笔和其他东西。当他要付钱的时候，发现钱包里的钱不够支付。他觉得很尴尬。在这个时候，这位管理商店的老人笑了笑，对那个男孩说他可以下次再给剩下的钱。男孩很震惊，老人竟然那么信任他。这个男孩回家后，他一直记得这件事。所以第二天早上，在他经过商店时毫不犹豫的给了老板钱。诚信是无价的，也决定着我们是怎么样的人。

去年我和妈妈到北京旅行，在北京遇到的几件小事，让我感受到了北京的友善和温暖。

那天我们坐了三个小时的飞机到达北京，到达酒店后顾不上舟车劳累，立即出去寻找离住地最近的国家图书馆地铁站购买交通卡，妈妈说，要是没有交通卡，我们的行程就会诸多不便了。一边说一边就上了一辆公交车。走了两站，妈妈说："儿子，我们可能坐反了方向了，得赶紧下车。"旁边的一个阿姨看到我们母子俩焦急的神情，面带微笑问道："你们要去哪，是不是遇到麻烦了?"妈妈尴尬地跟她说我们坐反方向的事，这位阿姨听完后，笑笑说：“你们在下一站下车吧，我也下去，我跟你们说怎么走。”“这怎么好意思呢。”妈妈说到。“没关系，北京地方大，找不着是经常有的事情。”阿姨笑着说。在阿姨的指引下，我们终于找到国家图书馆地铁站，如愿买到交通卡，感觉交通卡也是暖暖的。

记得那天从故宫坐地铁回住处，要走十多站的地铁呢。一上地铁，我的眼睛就到处寻觅着空位，毕竟走了一天了，若是有个位置该多好啊!但车箱里满满是人，连站的地方都快没有，别想坐了，我只能坐在妈妈的脚背上了。就在这时，旁边坐位的一位叔叔轻轻拉了我一下，说：“小朋友，累啦?坐这吧。”说着，起来把座位让了给我，我连忙道谢，觉得从来没有坐得这么舒适过。叔叔在下一站下了车，上来一个老婆婆，手里提着两个大包，我稍稍迟了一下站了起来“阿姨，您坐这里。”“太谢谢你了小朋友。”我这回老老实实地站在妈妈旁边，生怕坐下来老婆婆不好意思坐。说来也奇怪，刚才的疲惫竟然少了很多。

北京的友善一站站，让我们身在异乡倍感温暖。

Should students make friends on line ?Some people say yes .The internet helps make many friends .Chatting on line ,students can more freely express their feelings and opinions ,and even get help with their foreign language studies .

Others ,however, think students should not .They say making friends on line is a waste of time ,which should be spent more meaningfully on study .Besides ,some students get cheated on line.

It is my opinion that students should place their study ,health and safety before other things .As for friendship ,we can readily find it in our classmates and other people around us.

How to be a greener person

It’s our duty to protect the inviyonment around us.

When we go to school, we should ride a bike or take a bus. When we go out

for activities, we shouldn’t step on the grass. We can’t draw everywhere. When

we go shopping, we’d better use a cloth bag. At home we can save water and

electricity. When we leave a room, we should turn off the ligts. At school we

can collect wast paper and recycle things, such as bottles, cans and plastic

bags. We shoudn’t listen to pop music or spit in pulic.

Let’s do something to protect our environment.

The Chinese character "fu" (meaning blessing or happiness) is a must. The character put on paper can be pasted normally or upside down, for in Chinese the "reversed fu" is homophonic with "fu comes", both being pronounced as "fudaole." Whats more, two big red lanterns can be raised on both sides of the front door. Red paper-cuttings can be seen on window glass and brightly colored New Year paintings with auspicious meanings may be put on the wall.

People attach great importance to Spring Festival Eve. At that time, all family members eat dinner together. The meal is more luxurious than usual. Dishes such as chicken, fish and bean curd cannot be excluded, for in Chinese, their pronunciations, respectively "ji", "yu" and "doufu," mean auspiciousness, abundance and richness. After the dinner, the whole family will sit together, chatting and watching TV. In recent years, the Spring Festival party broadcast on China Central Television Station (CCTV) is essential entertainment for the Chinese both at home and abroad. According to custom, each family will stay up to see the New Year in.
