十篇大学英文背诵短文
The requirements of school systems differ from place to place. In some high schools, students follow a strict program of study, while in others they have the freedom to
choose some of their courses. I believe that it would be beneficial for all students to be able to choose some of their courses.
One reason is that choosing from a variety of courses would allow students to explore
new areas of study. They may discover a new talent or interest and broaden their horizons.
Another reason is that when students choose their own courses they take more
responsibility for them and really try to do well. They will be more motivated to learn the
material they want to learn. A final reason is that making such choices in high school will help prepare the students for their university lives.
In conclusion, it is my belief that students benefit from being able to choose courses
they are interested in. Of course, they shall still take some required subjects, but the
addition of elective courses would enable them to receive a more well-rounded education. Furthermore, they might be fortunate enough to discover a lifelong interest at an early age.

Learning is an essential part of growing, and there are many ways in which we learn. We
learn from our parents, from our teachers in school and from our friends. All of these methods of learning have their advantages, but the one that is most effective for me is to learn by doing.
One reason I prefer to learn by doing is because I believe that experience is the best
teacher. Knowledge that I gain through experience is the knowledge that I remember best.
A second reason is that practical knowledge is often more useful than theoretical
knowledge when dealing with problems in everyday life. Third, I can learn from the process
itself. Even when I make mistakes, I can learn something from them. Finally, in this way--learning by doing allows me to make my own discoveries.
In conclusion, learning through experience is the best method for me because I can
acquire practical knowledge and remember my lessons well. In addition, the knowledge I gain is not only meaningful, but also wider than what I can get from other methods of learning.
Therefore, I will continue to try to learn as much as possible by doing things myself.

从实践中学习
Recently it has become a phenomenon for college students to have two majors at the same time. In this way, they can get double BA degrees when they graduate from the university several years later.
Although it may bring unfavorable consequences, we can conclude this practice is
favorable on the whole. To begin with, most students will become more hardworking and
efficient in order to finish the learning tasks satisfactorily. Moreover, with two degrees after
graduation, they will stand a better chance in the job market full of fierce competition. As
for today's university students, tuition fees are becoming higher and higher. If they can make achievements in study in the university and find a satisfactory job afterwards, it will not be a big problem.
Weighing the pros and cons of such a new trend, we can naturally come to the
conclusion that it is beneficial and rewarding. This system not only urges students to work
hard, but also prepares them for the coming competition when they enter real society.

Nowadays more and more adults especially in cities spend their leisure time trying to improve themselves at school or at college. According to a recent survey, the number of adult students in 2005 is more than 6 times that of 1995.
There are various reasons for this fantastic spurt in adult education. Some people
who are employed go back for education to acquire another degree or diploma. To them more knowledge, or rather, more credentials means more opportunities for better jobs and
quicker promotion. Other people especially those who are temporarily unemployed go to
residential schools, open universities or other training institutions. They are eager to learn new skills since they are anxious to return to the job market.
Adults continue their education for different purposes, but they share a common
goal--to improve themselves. And the spurt in adult education, in turn, helps raise the intellectual standard of the whole nation.

More and more college students become indulge in computer games. Some of them play
video games all night, which will inevitably hinder their studies. Others are even truant to enjoy themselves.
There are three possible reasons to account for this trend. First of all, information
technology is developing at a fantastic speed and computer games become more and more
advanced and attractive. What's more, many students lack self-control to such an extent that they play for long hours even if they know it is harmful to both their physical and mental
health. In the third place, the university authority and teachers are too lenient with the students--they attach great importance to imparting knowledge and more or less overlook students?personality development.
The solutions to this problem seem more than clear on this occasion. By creating a favorable environment, university authorities can help students enjoy learning in and after
class. Moreover, university teachers should teach students how to make the best use of
their time and energy to realize their dreams. Last but not least, the mass media should also play a positive role in conveying the message that it is not wise for college students to play computer games for long hours.

电脑游戏
From primary school to college, students, teachers and parents--all are struggling for high scores. This is because the current education system is not aimed at students'quality, but only
at developing their ability to perform well on tests. As result, many students, even those with high scores, often do poorly when it comes to the practical application of what they have learned.
Therefore, China is challenging examination-oriented education by advocating
quality-oriented education. The alternative will focus on the students' ability as a whole.
The exam results will no longer play a key role in evaluating a student.
Personally, I firmly believe in the magic force of this new policy. It seems that I have seen in my mind's eye the more colorful life, the looser environment, yet the more creative
minds of the future students. Our education, so to speak, will bring up a new generation.

应试教育？素质教育？
Will you focus your energy on finding work, or apply for further education and training?
Choosing to pursue a career can lead to a wide range of benefits. Firstly, after eighteen or so years of study, many graduates find the transition from theoretical study to
practical work refreshing and excel at their career. Secondly, earning a salary brings
material benefits. Thirdly, you may participate in domestic and /or overseas business trips and enjoy a range of company perks, from gym membership to free or subsidised health insurance.
On the other hand if you choose wisely, completing a postgraduate course will bring
intellectual and material benefits. For first degree holders, postgraduate study can offer you the chance to pursue extended research, enter the world of work at a higher salary level than your bachelor degree holding colleagues, or acquire vocational training and skills.
While at first it may feel a little daunting to choose between entering the world of work or pursuing a higher education, be assured, your decision can't be wrong if it's well thought out.

就业？考研？
Hard working, being smooth and slick in handling interpersonal relationships and having professional skills--they were once the prerequisites for good jobs and a promotion. But these days, they are not enough.
When applying for a job, applicants are always required to demonstrate their English
capabilities, especially those in the field of foreign trade. They consider communicative
competence in English to be a decisive factor in hiring a potential employee. A recent survey conducted by a human resource website, which interviewed thousands of company clerks and government employees in the country's major cities, showed that there was a significant gap
between the salaries of people with different proficiencies in English. People with a good command of English have an average yearly income of more than 53,000 yuan (US$6,450) while those with an intermediate level of English have an average yearly income standing around
31,200 yuan (US$3,770). Therefore a good command of English often leads to a higher salary in the job market, which partly explains why many Chinese people are learning English in such unprecedented numbers nowadays.
With the Chinese economy and its society increasingly moving into line with the outside
world, proficiency in English has become essential for many careers. Good English capabilities can be a contributing factor to jobseekers professional recognition and career prospect.

英语能力与高薪
With Chinese universities turning out as many as 3 million new graduates a year, the nation is quickly discovering the need to equip its young people not with just knowledge but the courage to build their own enterprises.
Although mixing academics with business can be difficult, college may actually be the ideal
time to pursue entrepreneurship. There are several reasons. First of all, college
students are often free from the "real-world" concerns like finding a job or buying a house.
Many students say they are able to take greater risks and spend more time developing a
business. Besides, running a small business can be a valuable learning experience for student entrepreneurs, for example, business strategies, managing human relationship, serving
other people and so on. In this way adding entrepreneurial knowledge to the menu of the
students' skills toughens them into the nation's future leaders of business development.
Last but not least, university undergraduate entrepreneurs can help society create jobs to benefit the overall business environment of the country.
In conclusion, college students should try their hands at innovative undertakings on
campus. However, one prerequisite is that they have to assure their studies will not be interfered with.

大学生创业
Nowadays a significant number of students travel abroad to study. Going abroad for
further study has become a popular trend. Its benefits and shortcomings have been argued
and the majority regard it as a bad phenomenon. But I have a different viewpoint.
As we can see, cultural and economic communication have gone beyond national
borders, and traditional boundaries of human society are falling away. Students go abroad and receive new views or ideas in the tendency of globalization.
Next, students pursue their further study under an all-new educational system, which
enables them to study much more creatively. With the new technology and experience, when they return to their homeland, they will contribute a lot to this country's development.
Last but not least, as they have learned about different cultures and language environments, they acquire some useful and valuable skills and have a good command of, at least, one foreign language, which will benefit the exchanges of ideology and communications between this country and other nations.
For all the above benefits, priority should be given to studying abroad.

2018考研英语作文模板必背20篇：大作文(3) As is shown in the picture, on arriving at the finishing line of a race on the playground, the lovely young man has to continue his new journey in no time instead of stopping to take a rest. He has successfully settled the puzzle of “stopping or going on” which might have confused many others. With the increasing pace of modern life, perhaps no change has characterized the past decade more dramatically than that of people's view on their own life. It is generally agreed upon that people have to adjust themselves to this new change. On the one hand, no doubt, people will gain a lot by setting new goals in their daily life. Take the famous scientist Thomas Edison for example. He had done very well in his early life, but continued to pursue something more difficult all through his life. On the other hand, if one is obsessed with the success he has achieved, he would lose the chance to pursue new success. What is more, he may become the slave of his success. There are many cases showing that people lose their courage to better themselves after becoming successful. To sum up, one's view on his success determines his future. In my opinion, it is necessary to carry out a nation-wide campaign publicizing people who have a burning desire for more and ever greater achievement when they are already well-known. So that people in the society will develop a forward-looking attitude and make their life worth living and the world more beautiful as well. 以上是中公考研为大家准备整理的2018考研英语作文模板必背20篇：大作文(3)的内容。中公考研提醒大家2018考研招生简章、2018考研招生目录、2018考研参考书目以及2018考研大纲已陆续公布，中公考研将为大家及时提供相关资讯。另外，为了帮助考生更 好地复习，中公考研为广大学子推出2018考研VIP1对1、秋季集训营、保研课程系列备考专题，针对每一个科目要点进行深入的指导分析，还会根据每年的考研大纲进行针对性的分析哦~欢迎各位考生了解咨询。同时，中公考研一直为大家推出考研直播课堂，足不出户就可以边听课边学习，为大家的考研梦想助力!
The Force of Habits Habits, whether good or bad, are gradually formed. The more we do a thing, the more we tend to like doing it; and if we do not continue to do it, we feel uncomfortable. This is called the force of habits, and the force of habits should be fought against. This applies even to such good things as work or rest. Some people form a bad habit of working too much, and others of idling too much. Bad habits, once formed, are difficult to get rid of. The wise man always remembers to check any bad habit. He warns himself “I am now becoming idle” or “I like too many sweets” or “I smoke too much”. And then adds, “I will get myself out of this bad habit at once.” The Way to Achieve Success Many people say that they owe much of it to the cultivation of certain good habits in early life. In forming good habits, I think we should pay attention to four things, that is honesty, industry, enthusiasm and thrift. “Honesty is the best policy.” This is a proverb to which we must pay attention. There are so many temptations in society that through a little carelessness we may go astray. But when we are honest, people will not be dishonest to us. Industry gives every man and woman, every boy and girl, proper work to do. To do nothing is going to ruin oneself. Enth usiasm is a great force. One’s soul will expand if one devotes oneself to a noble cause. The difficulties in our way are tremendous, but what can we not accomplish, if with enthusiasm }
新概念优美背诵短文50篇unit13 Skyscrapers and Environment >13 Skyscrapers2 and Environment In the late 1960's, many people in North America turned their attention to environmental problems, and new steel-and-glass skyscrapers were widely criticized. Ecologists pointed3 out that a cluster of tall buildings in a city often overburdens public transportation and parking lot capacities. Skyscrapers are also lavish4 consumers, and wasters, of electric power. In one recent year, the addition of 17 million square feet of skyscraper1 office space in New York City raised the peak daily demand for electricity by 120, 000 kilowatts5 -- enough to supply the entire city of Albany, New York, for a day. Glass-walled skyscrapers can be especially wasteful6. The heat loss (or gain) through a wall of half-inch plate glass is more than ten times that through a typical masonry7 wall filled with insulation8 board. To lessen9 the strain on heating and air-conditioning equipment, builders of skyscrapers have begun to use double-glazed panels of glass, and reflective glasses coated with silver or gold mirror films that reduce glare as well as heat gain. However, mirror-walled skyscrapers raise the temperature of the surrounding air and affect neighboring buildings. Skyscrapers put a severe strain on a city's sanitation10 facilities, too. If fully11 occupied, the two World Trade Center towers in New York City would alone generate 2.25

01 The Language of Music A pain ter hangs his or her fini shed pictures on a wall, and every one can see it. A composer writes a work, but no one can hear it un til it is performed. Professi on al sin gers and players have great responsibilities, for the composer is utterly dependent on them. A student of music needs as long and as arduous a training to become a performer as a medical stude nt n eeds to become a doctor. Most training is concerned with technique, for musicians have to have the muscular proficiency of an athlete or a ballet dan cer. Sin gers practice breathi ng every day, as their vocal chords would be in adequate without con trolled muscular support. String players practice moving the fin gers of the left hand up and down, while drawing the bow to and fro with the right arm —two entirely different moveme nts. Sin gers and in strume nts have to be able to get every n ote perfectly in tune. Pia ni sts are spared this particular an xiety, for the no tes are already there, wait ing for them, and it is the pia no tun er s responsibility to tune the instrument for them. But they have their own difficulties; the hammers that hit the stri ng have to be coaxed not to sound like percussi on, and each overlapp ing tone has to sound clear. This problem of gett ing clear texture is one that confronts stude nt con ductors: they have to learn to know every note of the music and how it should sound, and they have to aim at con trolli ng these sound with fanatical but selfless authority. Tech nique is of no use uni ess it is comb ined with musical kno wledge and un dersta nding. Great artists are those who are so thoroughly at home in the Ianguage of music that they can enjoy perform ing works writte n in any cen tury. 02 Schooling and Education It is commonly believed in United States that school is where people go to get an education. Nevertheless, it has been said that today children interrupt their education to go to school. The distinction between schooling and education implied by this remark is important. Educati on is much more ope n-en ded and all-i nclusive tha n schooli ng. Educati on knows no boun ds. It can take place any where, whether in the shower or in the job, whether in a kitche n or on a tractor. It in cludes both the formal lear ning that takes place in schools and the whole uni verse of in formal learning. The agents of education can range from a revered grandparent to the people debating politics on the radio, from a child to a distinguished scientist. Whereas schooling has a certain predictability, educati on quite ofte n produces surprises. A cha nee con versati on with a stra nger may lead a pers on to discover how little is known of other religi ons. People are en gaged in educati on from infancy on. Education, then, is a very broad, inclusive term. It is a lifelong process, a process that starts long before the start of school, and one that should be an in tegral part of one Schooling, on the other hand, is a specific, formalized process, whose general pattern varies little from one setting to the next. Throughout a country, children arrive at school at approximately the same time, take assigned seats, are taught by an adult, use similar textbooks, do homework, take exams, and so on. The slices of reality that are to be lear ned, whether they are the alphabet or an un dersta nding of the work ing of

1、缺水问题已经非常严重 2、产生此问题的原因 3、你的看法 On Water Shortage No one can deny the fact that water shortage is a grave problem (严肃的问题) with which the whole world is confronted（面对）. Actually, it has become so widespread that it has severely affected people’s daily life and hindered （阻碍）the development of the global economy. A number of factors could account for the problem, but the following might be the critical （关键性的）ones. Firstly，the ever-increasing （不断增长的）population is a leading cause of water shortage. As populations increase, the demand for water grows accordingly. secondly, people everywhere waste water without even realizing it(毫无意识的): showers last too long，taps are left running and so forth. Last but not least, the industrial production will cause water contamination (水污染)and it will also decrease
第一天：THE NEWSPAPER 报纸 Now the newspaper possesses considerable value .Everybody should read it. It supplies us with a lot of news every day. It tells us the political situation of the world. If we form the habit of reading the newspaper, we shall get enough knowledge to deal with our environment. 现今报纸拥有极大的价值，人人都应该看它。它每天提供我们各种各样的消息。它告诉我们世界政治局势。如果我们养成看报的习惯，我们就能得到足够的知识来适应我们的环境。 第二天：MY DAILY LIFE 我的日常生活 Though my daily life is extremely dull, I try hard to adapt myself to it. Why? I want to be a good student. I wish to pay service to my country. I get up at six o’clock every day. After I wash my face and brush my teeth, I begin to review my lessons. I go to school at seven o’clock. After school is over, I return home. We usually have supper at seven o’clock. Then I begin to do my homework. I want to finish it before I go to bed. 虽然，我的日常生活十分单调，但我却竭力设法去适应它。为什么？因为，我打算做一个好学生，希望将来为国家服务。 我每天六点起床、洗脸刷牙后，就开始复习功课，七点钟我就去上学。 放学后，我就回家了。我们通常在七点钟吃晚餐，之后我就开始做家庭作业，希望在睡觉前把它做完。 第三天：A MODEL STUDENT 模范学生Do you mind being called a bad student? Of course not. So far as I know, everybody intends to become a model student. However, to be a model student is by no means an easy thing. First, he must do his best to get knowledge. A man without enough knowledge will not succeed. Secondly, he must remember to improve his health. Only a strong man can do great tasks. Thirdly, he should receive moral education. If his behavior is not good, no one will consider making friends with him. 你介意被称为坏学生吗？当然不。就我所知，每个人都打算做模范学生。 然而，做模范学生却不容易。第一，他必须尽力获得知识。一个没有足够知识的人是不会成功的。第二，他必须记住促进健康。只有强壮的人
经典英文美文 >01 The Language of Music A painter hangs his or her finished picture on a wall, and everyone can see it. A composer writes a work, but no one can hear it until it is performed. Professional singers and players have great responsibilities, for the composer is utterly dependent on them. A student of music needs as long and as arduous a training to become a performer as a medical student needs to become a doctor. Most training is concerned with technique, for musicians have to have the muscular proficiency of an athlete or a ballet dancer. Singers practice breathing every day, as their vocal chords would be inadequate without controlled muscular support. String players practice moving the fingers of the left hand up and down, while drawing the bow to and fro with the right arm -- two entirely different movements. Singers and instrumentalists have to be able to get every note perfectly in tune. Pianists are spared this particular anxiety, for the notes are already there, waiting for them, and it is the piano tuner's responsibility to tune the instrument for them. But they have their own difficulties: the hammers that hit the strings have to be coaxed not to sound like percussion, and each overlapping tone has to sound clear. This problem of getting clear texture is one that confronts student conductors: they have to learn to know every note of the music and how it should sound, and they have to aim at controlling these sounds with fanatical but selfless authority. Technique is of no use unless it is combined with musical knowledge and understanding. Great artists are those who are so thoroughly at home in the language of music that they can enjoy performing works written in any century. 01 音乐的语言 画家将已完成的作品挂在墙上，每个人都可以观赏到。作曲家写完了一部作品，得由 演奏者将其演奏出来，其他人才能得以欣赏。因为作曲家是如此完全地依赖于职业歌手和职业演奏者，所以职业歌手和职业演奏者肩上的担子可谓不轻。 一名学音乐的学生要想成为一名演奏者，需要经受长期的、严格的训练，就象一名医科的学生要成为一名医生一样。绝大多数的训练是技巧性的。 音乐家们控制肌肉的熟练程度，必须达到与运动员或巴蕾舞演员相当的水平。歌手们每天都练习吊嗓子，因为如果不能有效地控制肌肉的话，他们的声 带将不能满足演唱的要求。弦乐器的演奏者练习的则是在左手的手指上下滑动的同时，用 右手前后拉动琴弓--两个截然不同的动作。歌手和乐器演奏者必须使所有的音符完全相同协调。钢琴家们则不用操这份心，因为每个音符都已在那里等待着他们了。 给钢琴调音是调音师的职责。但调音师们也有他们的难处：他们必须耐心地调理敲击琴弦的音锤，不能让
第一篇：一位伟大的朋友A Great Friend As I am now a senior high school student, I have a great many friends, but there is one whom I prize over all the rest. I first made his acquaintance when I began to go to school. He has been my constant companion ever since. Though he is serious in appearance, he never fails to be interesting. Often he is clever, sometimes even merry and gay. He is the most knowledgeable friend a person could have. He knows virtually every language of the world, all the events of history, and the words of all the great poets and philosophers. A kindly benefactor, he is admired and enjoyed by everyone who makes his acquaintance. To me, he has been a great teacher as well as a friend. He first taught me the secrets of my own language and then those of others. With these keys he showed us how to unlock all the arts and sciences of man. My friend is endlessly patient. Dull though I may be, I can return to him again and again, and he is always ready to teach me. When I am bored, he entertains me. When I am dispirited, he lifts me up. When I am lonely, he keeps me company. He is a friend not only to me but to millions around the world. Shall I tell you his name? His name is “reading”. 第一篇：翻译 由于我现在是高中生，因此有许多朋友，但我最看重其中的一位。我一开始求学就认识他了。从此以后他便是我永远不变的朋友。 虽然他外表严肃，但他总是令人感兴趣。他经常挺聪明的，有时甚至是一付欢喜愉快的模样。他是我们最有学问的朋友。世界各国的语言，历史上所有的大事，以及所有伟大的诗人与哲学家的话语，他几乎无所不知。他是个乐善好施的大好人，认识他的每个人都赞赏与喜欢他。 对我而言，他一直是位伟大的老师也是朋友。他先教会我母语的奥秘，而后是其他的语言。借着这些秘决，他教我们如何开启人类所有的艺术与科学之门。 我的朋友有无限的耐心。虽然我可能很迟钝，但我可以一再地求助于他，而他也随时准备着教导我。当我感到厌烦时，他会逗我开心。当我气馁时，他会使我振作起来。当我孤独时，他会陪伴我。他不只是我的朋友，同时也是世界各地成千上万人的朋友。要我告诉你他的名字吗？他的名字是“阅读”。 1、not only...but also... 不但...而且 2、acquaintance [?'kweint?ns] n. knowledge of a person acquired by a relationship less intimate than friendship 认识，相识，了解 makes one’s acquaintance 认识 3、benefactor ['benif?kt?] n. one that gives aid, especially financial aid 恩人，赞助人 4、dispirited [dis'piritid] adj. sad, depressed 气馁的，沮丧的 5、entertain [,ent?'tein] v 招待 6、gay [ɡei] adj. 快乐的；放荡的n. 同性恋者 7、company ['k?mp(?)ni] n. 公司；陪伴，同伴vi. 交往vt. 陪伴
