Why Should We Protect Our Environment With the development of the society, most of us are used to driving work and home regardless of the air pollution. We are enthusiastically in for the pleasure of the great fireworks in spite of the harms they contribute to the environment. As the environment getting worse and worse, it’s crucial for us to take actions to protect the environment as soon as possible. I will demonstrate my point of view by the following reasons.
On one hand, the pollution is serious enough to attack human health nowadays. As you can see, there are a number of factories functioning at the cost of the surrounding environment. According to the survey, in China, there are 15,700,000 tons of sulfur dioxide and 8410,000 tons of industrial dust emitting into the air per year. What’s more, they also pour out poisonous water into the river which indirectly endangers the human health potentially. Also, with the increasing use of agricultural chemicals, the crops contain more and more hazardous materials which could cause deadly diseases to people, such as the poisonous rice, poisonous pork events happened years before. Another typical case is the mercury poisoning event in Japan because of which several thousand people died or got disabled. As far as I am concerned, I think it’s the environment’s revenge, to a certain extents. Nobody wants to see the tragedy being on show once more. So we must be aware of the environmental protection from now on so as t o keep a friendly relationship between the human and the environment. On the other hand, pollution does great harm to the ecological balance. As we all know, the nature is very complex as well as huge a system which accordingly has a complicated balance relationship like a net. However, recent years has seen an sharp decreasing of forest who plays an crucial role in keeping the ecological balance. The most obvious result of this is the sharp decline of animals and plants. As we
have learnt that the biosphere is connected by food chains like a pyramid and we, human beings are on the top of it, that is to say, thousands of plants and animals make up the main body of the pyramid, if the body keeps being attacked, the final disaster will come to ourselves. Recently, the ecological problems like desertification, global warming, and climate abnormal have brought the ecological balance to a dangerous stage and urge us to go into action in protecting the environment.
Additionally, we should consider more for the future generations. Nobody wants the blue sky, clear water and green forest become the fairytale in the textbook. We should leave a wonderful environment for our later generations and give them the chance to live happily and enjoyably.
To sum up, we should and must be aware of the serious situation in the face and protect the environment from now on. I believe that if every single person contributes a little, the environment will better a lot.
Unit 9 How to Grow Old Bertrand A. Russell 1. In spite of the title, this article will really be on how not to grow old, which, at my time of life, is a much more important subject. My first advice would be, to choose your ancestors carefully. Although both my parents died young, I have done well in this respect as regards my other ancestors. My maternal grandfather, it is true, was cut off in the flower of his youth at the age of sixty-seven, but my other three grandparents all lived to be over eighty. Of remoter ancestors I can only discover one who did not live to a great age, and he died of a disease which is now rare, namely, having his head cut off. A great-grandmother of mine, who was a friend of Gibbon, lived to the age of ninety-two, and to her last day remained a terror to all her descendants. My maternal grandmother, after having nine children who survived, one who died in infancy, and many miscarriages, as soon as she became a widow devoted herself to women’s higher education. She was one of the founders of Girton College, and worked hard at opening the medical profession to women. She used to relate how she met in Italy an elderly gentleman who was looking very sad. She inquired the cause of his melancholy and he said that he had just parted fro m his two grandchildren. “Good gracious,” she exclaimed, “I have seventy-two grandchildren, and if I were sad each time I parted from one of them, I should have a dismal existence!” “Madre snaturale,” he replied. But speaking as one of the seventy-two, I prefer her recipe. After the age of eighty she found she had some difficulty in getting to sleep, so she habitually spent the hours from midnight to 3 a.m. in reading popular science. I do not believe that she ever had time to notice that she was growing old. This, I think, is the proper recipe for remaining young. If you have wide and keen interests and activities in which you can still be effective, you will have no reason to think about the merely statistical fact of the number of years you have already lived, still less of the probable brevity of your future. 2. As regards health, I have nothing useful to say since I have little experience of illness. I eat and drink whatever I like, and sleep when I cannot keep awake. I never do anything whatever on the ground that it is good for health, though in actual fact the things I like doing are mostly wholesome. 3. Psychologically there are two dangers to be guarded against in old age. One of these is undue absorption in the past. It does not do to live in memories, in regrets for the good old days, or in sadness about friends who are dead. One’s thoughts must be directed to
《上帝也疯狂2》观后感 政史学院历史09班梁燕学号：200902405153 这部影片讲了在沙漠中生活的卡拉哈里人远离现代世界，在干旱的环境里自有一套谋生方式。卡拉哈里人奇哥的两个幼子奇沙与奇尔在父亲寻找食物时被车厢的露水吸引，登上了偷猎者的卡车，却被不知情的偷猎者带走。奇哥自此踏上了追寻孩子的旅途……来自美国的法学博士安泰勒经一位心血来潮的飞行员邀请，登上了他的飞机，却为恶劣的天气影响，和动物学家马歇尔一同被困在沙漠的深处，两位博士术业有专攻，但野外生存肯定不是安泰勒的强项，女博士忙乱的表现为这次历险平添了轻松的气氛……古巴战士与非洲士兵为双方阵营而战，两个人一把枪传来传去，他们也先后做着对方的俘虏……这群人在沙漠深处的动物天堂穿插互动，上演了一出温馨轻松的喜剧。下面我将从感受深的几点来进行理论结合。 从影片来看，沙漠中的卡拉哈里人远离现代世界，他们的观点不同。卡拉哈里人信仰上帝，相信一切都是上帝的赏赐，他们懂得如何在沙漠里生存，懂得如何利用沙漠里一切，如辨别动物的脚印说明沙漠中发生的事、在没有降水的时候如何利用植物来获取水、、、、、、而这一切对于沙漠外的人来说是不可思议的，代表就是女主角法学博士安泰勒。从世界的物质性而言，我们可以看到物质世界是客观实在的，无论是沙漠世界还是现代世界，且不以人的意识为转移。社会生活本质是实践的，体现在实践是社会关系形成的基础，实践形成了社会生活的基本领域，实践构成了社会发展的动力。卡拉哈里人生活在沙漠的内部，在沙漠的时间构成了他们的社会关系，形成了他们社会生活得基本领域，也促成了他们发展的动力；而生活在现代世界的人来说，在没有实践的沙漠地带他们没办法有自己的社会关系，生活领域，这些他们只能在他们实践的现代社会里才能实现，也才能构成他们的社会生活。当然，事物是普遍联系和相互发展的，虽然卡拉哈里人远离现代世界，但是从总个社会来说，他们还是相互联系的，而且是发展着的。 从认识的本质来理解这部影片，我了解到： 实践是认识的基础； 认识是主体对客体的能动反映； 认识要一切从实际出发，在实践中坚持和发展真理。 在影片中卡拉哈里人和研究动物的动物学博士马歇尔在沙漠的实践中认识到沙漠的现象，他们知道动物的脚印代表什么意思，知道沙漠中动物的习性，它们怕什么，要怎样去防范他们的攻击，最典型的就是土狼这种胆小又怯懦的动物了。而影片中的女主角法学博士安泰勒由于对沙漠中的一切没有充分的实践以致对沙漠没有充分认识，在影片中表现的一惊一乍的，充分的展示了人在危急时刻爆发出来的潜力，给影片带来了很多的笑点。除了生活在现代社会中的女主角，还有奇哥的两个小孩被没有见过轮胎的印子还有那一箱的水吸引，从而登上了偷猎者的卡车，却被不知情的偷猎者带走。还有影片中女主角由于自己的惊吓把载她的卡拉哈里人的自行车撞坏之后，硬塞给他美元的镜头，给我印象很深。女主没有从实际出发，没有认识到卡拉哈里人是不需要到钱币的，要把客观存在的事物作为观察和处理问题的根本出发点，并在实践中坚持发展真理。只有真正的在沙漠中实践过，才能坚持和发展真理。 以前看电影从来没有这样的想过要理论结合，经过候老师这么要求反而觉得能学以致用，加深对所学知识的理解，让认识与实践相结合，从而加深了对知识的理解。
The way 的用法 Ⅰ常见用法： 1)the way+ that 2)the way + in which（最为正式的用法） 3)the way + 省略（最为自然的用法） 举例：I like the way in which he talks. I like the way that he talks. I like the way he talks. Ⅱ习惯用法： 在当代美国英语中，the way用作为副词的对格，“the way+ 从句”实际上相当于一个状语从句来修饰整个句子。 1)The way =as I am talking to you just the way I’d talk to my own child. He did not do it the way his friends did. Most fruits are naturally sweet and we can eat them just the way they are—all we have to do is to clean and peel them. 2）The way= according to the way/ judging from the way The way you answer the question, you are an excellent student. The way most people look at you, you’d think trash man is a monster. 3）The way =how/ how much No one can imagine the way he missed her. 4）The way =because
Unit 1 A CLASS ACT Florence Cartlidge 1. Growing up in bomb-blitzed Manchester during the Second World War meant times were tough, money was short, anxiety was rife and the pawnshop was a familiar destination for many families, including mine. 2. Yet I could not have asked for more enterprising and optimistic parents. They held our family together with hard work, dignity and bucketloads of cheer. My sturdy and ingenious father could turn his hand to almost anything and was never short of carpentry and handyman work. He even participated in the odd bout of backstreet boxing to make ends meet. For her part, our mum was thrifty and meticulously clean, and her five children were always sent to school well fed, very clean, and attired spotlessly, despite the hard conditions. 3. The trouble was, although my clothes were ironed to a knife-edge, and shoes polished to a gleam, not every item was standard school uniform issue. While Mum had scrimped and saved to obtain most of the gear, I still didn’t have the pres cribed blue blazer and hatband. 4. Because of the war, rationing was in place and most schools had relaxed their attitude towards proper uniforms, knowing how hard it was to obtain clothes. Nevertheless, the girls’ school I attended made it strict policy that each of its students was properly attired, and the deputy headmistress who ran the daily assembly made it her mission to teach me a lesson. 5. Despite my attempts at explaining why I couldn’t comply, and despite the fact that I was making slow progress towards the full uniform, every day I would be pulled out of line and made to stand on the stage as a shining example of what not to wear to school. 6. Every day I would battle back tears as I stood in front of my peers, embarrassed and, most often, alone. My punishment also extended to being barred from the gym team or to not taking part in the weekly ballroom dancing classes, which I adored. I desperately

I think nothing I sell has effects which could be precisely described as ordin ary. 人Well, the fact is ! began Alan. 人Here, for example, interrupted the old man, reaching for a bottle from the shelf. 人Here is a liquid as colorless as water, almost tasteless, quite imperceptible in coffee, wine, or any other beverage. It is also quite imperceptible to any known method of autopsy. 人Do you mean it is a poison? cried Alan, very much horrified. 人Call it a glove-cleaner if you like, said the old man indifferently. 人Maybe it will clean gloves. I have never tried. One might call it a life-cleaner. Lives need cleaning sometimes. 人I want nothing of that sort, said Alan. 人Probably it is just as well, said the old man. 人Do you know the price of this? For one teaspoonful, which is sufficient, I ask five thousa nd dollars. Never less. Not a penny less. 人I hope all your mixtures are not as expensive, said Alan apprehe nsively. 人Oh dear, no, said the old man. 人It would be no good charg ing that sort of price for a love poti on, for example. Young people who n eed a love poti on very seldom have five thousa nd dollars.

上帝也疯狂电影观后感范文 《上帝也疯狂》系列讲述的是在非洲的卡拉哈里地区，生活着一群生性乐观、知足自在的布希族土人，两万年来过着与世隔绝的生活.这里给大家整理了一些有关上帝也疯狂的观后感,希望对大家有所帮助. 上帝也疯狂观后感1 看完电影我真的十分震撼，在捧腹之余，我觉得人类很有必要审视一下此刻的“所谓礼貌”。“那里看起来像人间天堂，却是世界上最个性的沙漠。”开头这句话看似像是在给人们说这片沙漠的神奇、与众不一样。其实不然，接下来的一系列片段讲述了住在这片沙漠的布依人。他们十分知足、十分和善、甚至不懂得什么是礼貌。在他们看来，一切都是上帝的恩赐。更可贵的是他们没有所有权意识。但这一切被飞行员投下的一个玻璃瓶打破了，他们认为那是上帝在跟他们开玩笑，是不祥之物，由历苏送到“世界的尽头”扔掉 这部影片很巧妙的利用了比较，在南方600里的城市，这是一个现代化十分发达的城市。但那里的人们并不快乐，他们过着死板的生活，周一早上八点去上班，中间十点半有十五分钟的休息时刻。他们像是时刻的奴隶，那里的学生被迫理解十几年的教
育，那里的上班族受到上司的刁难。而在北方2000里的地方发生了一场政治刺杀，他们为了权力宁愿舍弃生命 其实，每个人的心灵深处都住着善意，只是在追逐名利中、在征服自然中失去了本性，造就了所谓的现代礼貌——现代礼貌的背后，是对资源的疯狂掠夺，是硝烟弥漫的战争，是追逐名利的勾心斗角，是篡改历史，是强权霸权主义的盛行 当历苏站在那个美丽的悬崖边上，一扬手，可乐瓶子在空中划出一道完美的抛物线，然后不见。当时我就在想：或许，人类真的需要给心灵找一个居所，让它能够得到净化的憩居。像布依人那样随心所欲的生活，与世无争，与自然和谐相处。哪怕是回归原始，又有何不可? 上帝也疯狂观后感2 一个布希族人凯捡到了一个可乐瓶，开始布希族觉得这是上帝赠给他们的礼物。世事难料，因为这个瓶子，布希族人开始闹起了矛盾。他们觉得这是“不祥之物”，凯决定把瓶子扔到天涯海角去。他遇到了安德鲁史帝，和他一起保护了一群孩子和凯特，并且抓住了恐怖的人波哈。最后凯扔掉了瓶子，返回布希族。 在这部电影中我十分佩服凯。凯射杀了一只羊，而被告上法庭时，他的表情居然是微笑的，还想与法庭上的人交流。我原本以为他胆子很大，很冷静。但是看到下面凯用涂了镇定剂的针射
The way的用法及其含义（二） 二、the way在句中的语法作用 the way在句中可以作主语、宾语或表语： 1.作主语 The way you are doing it is completely crazy.你这个干法简直发疯。 The way she puts on that accent really irritates me. 她故意操那种口音的样子实在令我恼火。The way she behaved towards him was utterly ruthless. 她对待他真是无情至极。 Words are important, but the way a person stands, folds his or her arms or moves his or her hands can also give us information about his or her feelings. 言语固然重要,但人的站姿,抱臂的方式和手势也回告诉我们他(她)的情感。 2.作宾语 I hate the way she stared at me.我讨厌她盯我看的样子。 We like the way that her hair hangs down.我们喜欢她的头发笔直地垂下来。 You could tell she was foreign by the way she was dressed. 从她的穿著就可以看出她是外国人。 She could not hide her amusement at the way he was dancing. 她见他跳舞的姿势，忍俊不禁。 3.作表语 This is the way the accident happened.这就是事故如何发生的。 Believe it or not, that's the way it is. 信不信由你, 反正事情就是这样。 That's the way I look at it, too. 我也是这么想。 That was the way minority nationalities were treated in old China. 那就是少数民族在旧中

On one of the dirty buff-coloured walls were a couple of shelves, containing in all perhaps a dozen bottles and jars. 3 An old man sat in the rocking-chair, reading a newspaper.

Unit 7 The Chaser Key to the Exercises Text comprehension I. Decide which of the following is likely to happen after the story. C II. Judge, according to the text, whether the following statements are true or false. 1. F (Refer to Paragraph 5. The old man says that his stock in trade is not very large, but it is varied and has extraordinary effects.) 2. F (Refer to Paragraphs 11 and 1 3. The price of a glove-cleaner, as he calls it, is very high, five thousand dollars for a teaspoonful, but the love potion is very cheap.) 3. F (Refer to Paragraph 19. The old man claims that the effects of love potions are permanent.) 4. T (Refer to Paragraphs 24 and 28. Austen says that Diana is fond of parties and, although she is everything to him already, she does not care about his love at all. That is why he decides to go to the old man for the love potion and whenever the old man mentions the magic of his potion, he can't help "crying." From that, we can see the man loves the girl very much.) 5. F (The old man sells the love potions almost for nothing because by doing so his customers will come back for a much dearer commodity, the glove-cleaner, to help them out. It is the "death potion" that the old man makes most of his profits from, and intends to sell to his customers.) III. Answer the following questions. 1. What the old man means is that a young man who falls in love one-sidedly is seldom rich enough to win a girl's heart. His words imply that money is one of the crucial factors for love. If a man is not rich, he can rarely expect to be loved by a girl. 2. Refer to Paragraphs 19 to 37. The love potion has powerful, everlasting effects. To begin with, it may produce sexual desire in the person who takes it. And on the spiritual side, it can replace indifference with devotion and scorn with adoration. It will make a gay girl want nothing but solitude and her lover's company. She will feel jealous of him when her lover is with other girls; she will want to be everything to him. She will be only interested in her lover and take every concern of him. Even if he slips a bit, she will forgive him though terribly hurt. In a word, she will fall in love with him if she drinks the love potion. 3. Refer to Paragraphs 39 to 43. It is an irony, by which the author seems to imply that love is far from being precious or desirable. It is easy for a man to fall in love, yet it is hard
