The mouse is a most effective device used by people to communicate with a computer.

[参考范文]
The mouse is a most effective device used by people to communicate with a computer.
For most people, it's almost impossible to operate a computer without a mouse, let alone surf the Internet. A well chosen mouse is really handy, flexible and convenient in controlling the screen. With the functions of inserting, deleting, moving and copying, it enables us to edit test, browse web page and download what we want. It can even bring us a flood of music, movies and PC games. Just imagine, all this can be done with a cute mouse.
A convenient tool can certainly make our work easier, but it doesn't always help in a positive way. Too much ready information on our fingertips leaves little room for knowledge pursuing. Too many ready answers make us less excited in finding truth. Relying too much on mouse clicking makes us lazier and less creative both mentally and physically.

So the woman took her trouble to the local magician. She told him her story, full of pity for herself. " Can you give me some magic powers to make him love me again? ” she asked anxiously. The magician thought for a moment and replied,“ I will help you, but first you must bring to me three hairs from a living lion. These! Must have before I can give you my magic powers.” There was indeed a lion that often came near to the village. It was frightening. The woman thought again and again and at last she had an idea. The next morning she took a young sheep and waited anxiously. When she saw the lion approaching, she left the sheep in the path of the lion quickly and went back home. So it happened that, every day early in the morning, the woman would rise and take a young sheep to the lion. Gradually the lion came to know the woman. Seeing the lion's trust in her, the woman carefully pulled three hairs from it and set out for the magicians house “Look, "she said happily as she entered, " here they are! "And she gave him the three hairs. “How did you make it ?"asked the magician in surprise.
【篇一】高中生英语话题作文 In recent years, the forests have been getting smaller and smaller for more and more people cut down trees for money. As trees grow naturally, people don't need to invest anything on them. But cutting down trees has destroyed our nature. We have already seen the bad consequence. For example, we always suffer from the flood and drought disaster; many animals are facing the danger of dying out, because their habitats have been destroyed; deserts are expanding, and sandstorms are emerging. Our environment has been changed from bad to worse due to the reduction of forests. Thus, the government should appeal people that cutting down trees breaks the balance of our nature. Those who continue to cut down trees should be punished severely. 近年来，由于越来越多的人为了赚钱而砍伐树木，森林面积变得越来越小。由于树木是自然生长的，所以人们不需要对它们进行任何投资。但是砍伐树木破坏了我们的自然环境。我们已经看到了不好的后果了。例如，我们总是遭受水灾和旱灾；许多动物因栖息地被破坏正面临灭绝的危险；沙漠范围正在扩大；沙尘暴也在崭露头角。由于森林面积的减少，我们的环境已经变得越来越糟糕。因此，政府应该呼吁人们砍伐树木会破坏我们的自然平衡。那些继续砍伐树木的人应该受到严惩。 【篇二】高中生英语话题作文 Almost everyone wants to live a long life, but longevity is not for all people. It is reported that most long life people are in villages, far away from big cities. In village, life is closer to nature. The sky there is clear and pretty; the air is fresh; the water is clean; and the food they eat are natural, without any chemicals. Besides, those villages are abundant in green trees, beautiful flowers, fresh fruit, and wild animals, which can evoke people's passions for life. Moreover, the living pace in those villages is rather slow. People suffer less stress than cities’. Thus, they have more freedom to enjoy what they like. No wonder that most villagers are strong and healthy. If I become old someday, I would like to move to village to enjoy a more comfortable and pleasant life. 几乎每个人都想要长寿，但并不是所有人都可以长寿的。据报道，长寿的人多住在远离大城市的农村。在乡村，生活更接近自然。那里的天空晴朗而美丽；空气清新；水是干净的；他们吃的食物是天然的，没有任何化学物质。此外，这些村庄有大量的绿树、美丽的鲜花、新鲜的水果和野生动物，可以唤起人们对生活的热情。此外，这些村庄的生活节奏相当缓慢。人们承受的压力比城市小。因此，他们有更多的自由去享受他们喜欢的东西。难怪大多数乡村里的人都是身体健康的。如果有一天我老了，我也想搬到农村去享受更舒适和愉快的生活。

一. The Best Movie I like to see movie so much. When I have time, the first thing I’d like to do is to find the hot movies and then buy some snacks, enjoying my movie hours. After appreciating so many movies, The Lord of the Rings impresses me the most. This movie has three series and I like them all. Though the moive was made in about 2000, its technology is still not out of date. In the movie, the scenery is such beautiful that I can’t move my eyes away. It was shot in New Zealand and I have made up my mind that I must go there someday and have a look at the beautiful scenery. The movie shows me a scientific world with all kinds of creatures. It broadens my vision. 最好的电影 我很喜欢看电影。我有时间的时候，我想做的第一件事就是找一些热门电影，然后买些零食来享受我的电影时光。 在欣赏了那么多电影后,《魔戒》让我印象最深刻。这部电影有三个系列，每个系列我都喜欢。虽然这部电影大约在2000年拍摄，但是其技术却不过时。在电影中，景色是如此美丽，我都无法转移目光。那是在新西兰拍摄的。我已经下定决心，一定要去那里看一看那美丽的风景。
