Thomas Hardy, living at the turn of the century, is often regarded as a transitional writer. In him we see the influence from both the past and the modern. Tess of the D’Urbervilles is one of his greatest works. Try to discuss the fate of Tess in this work.The discussion about the fate of Tess in Tess of the D’Urbervilles.Tess of the D’Urbervilles is Thomas hardy’s representative work, as a transitional writer, his work reflect the profound changes about the social economic, politic, moral, customs and the tragic fate about the people(especially the fate of women)which caused by the capitalism intrudes England rural towns, it reveals the hypocrisy of bourgeoisie moral, legal and religion.Tess of the D’Urbervilles concentrate on the ‘character and environment. The heroine Tess while clever beauty, diligent and kind, but as a victim of she finally was on the gallows. So what are the reasons? Here we analyze her tragic fate from the following 3 aspects:Firstly, the tragic fate of Tess first comes from the capitalist society.In the furious conflict between individual and environment, Tess's fate is inevitably miserable. Tess lived in the Victorian period as British capitalism intrudes England rural countries. Though she is diligent and kind, clever beautiful girl, but as a laborer, a powerless of agricultural workers without money and social status, naturally will be affected by the capitalist societyof oppression and reproach. With the capitalist invasion, those who own a small piece of land and production material of peasants are forced to, and then go bankrupt. Visible, Tess's tragic fate and her economic poverty are closely linked. This is one the social reason.Secondly, unjust laws system is also a factor in Tess tragedy. In capitalist society, the legal system are protect the exploiting class profits while oppress powerless workers. From the story, we knew that Alec is a domineering, do evil young guy, he was protected by the injustice law while the beautiful and diligent Tess was killed, it shows the underclass counteractionspeople in society is impossible to get treated fairly.Thirdly, Tess's destruction is closed linked with the hypocrisy of religion .Alec's characters, revealed the hypocrisy of religion. He is on the business, is a bourgeois upstarts and carnal "person". He set a trap to seducea Tess, but using the biblical allusions to blame them. Later he was turnedinto a good cleric. Who advised Visible, in capitalist society, religion is the reactionary ruling class anesthesia, cheating, and a fool of working people.Marx once said: "with artificial Christian." Religion is bourgeois reproach and defiled women provided theoretical basis.Fourthly, Tess is also a victim of the bourgeoisie hypocritical moral. From the story, Angel is the representative of bourgeoisie hypocritical moral, though he is a liberal thought of intellectuals, but he has a deep psychological ingrained in traditional ethics and morality. his own dissolute behavior was forgived by Tess, but he did not forgive Tess on the situation the fault is not Tess, but Alec. He has not a little sympathy on Tess, which force Tess came back to Alec.Fifthly, Tess’s tragic is also related by her own personality.Tess is a brand-new woman created by hardy, she has dual personality. On the one hand, she dares to against the hypocrisy of traditional moral and religious, On the other hand, cannot completely get rid of the traditional ethics of their own. Because Tess was born in a peasant family, remaining some of the old farmer on moral and destiny view that she appeared when traditional moral against the weak side. when she treated with the secular public opinion, she also think herself is guilty. Tess, as a certain historical period of the individual, must be particular historical period of social consciousness and moral concepts, she thought and action are bound by age and social consciousness.From above all, the tragedy of Tess have social reason also have her own personality reason, but all these reasons are directly linked with the bourgeoisie society, it’s the kinds of reflects of the society. Her des troy is inevitably in the bourgeoisie society.6. Daniel Defoe’s Robinson Crusoe is a very influential novel in the enlightenment period of the English literature. It depicts Crusoe as a figure of middle class who makes success through his hard work. Discuss the social reason why the novel becomes so successful.Robinson Crusoe is supposedly based on the real adventure of an Alexander Selkirk who once stayed alone on the uninhabited island Huan Fernandez for five years. Factually, the story is an imagination. In the story the author describes inviting plots of Robinson Crusoe who survives and lives quite well on an island after the shipwreck. In Robinson Crusoe, Defoe traces the growth of Robinson Crusoe from a na?ve and artless youth into a shrewd and hardened man, tempered by numerous trials in his eventful life. The realistic account of the successful struggle of Robinson here is a real hero: a typical eighteenth century English middle-class man, with a great capacity for work, inexhaustible energy, courage, patience and persistence in overcoming obstacles, in struggling against the hostile natural environment. He is the very prototype of the empire builder, the pioneer colonist. Robinson Crusoe is an adventure story in the spirit of the time. So when it was published, people all liked that story, and it became an immediate success.7. In Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen explored three kinds of motivations of marriage the middle-class people had in the second half of the 18th century. Say something about this novel and try to make a discussion about the three kinds of motivations with specific examples from the novel. Make comments on Austen’s attitude towards these motivations.First, there is marriage merely for fortune, money and social rank. This is to be found in Miss Bingley’s pursuit of Darcy, Lady de Bourgh’s intention to marriage between her daughter and Darcy, and in Charlotte Lucas’marriage to Mr.Collins. The snobbery and vanity of the rich and the practicality of the poor gentry women are fully accounted for.The second is the tendency to marry for beauty, attraction and passion regardless of economic conditions or personal merits. This is generally known as Mr.Bennet and Mrs. Bennet who has a beautiful face but an empty head and of their youngest daughter Lydia to the handsome, charming but morally weak and penniless Wickham. The terrible aftermath of such marriage is only too obvious in the marriage of the two generations of the Bennet.Lastly comes the idea marriage, which is a love match with considerations of the lover’s personal merits and economic conditions. Such perfect happiness is to be found in the marriage of Darcy and Elizabeth and that of Mr.Bingley and Jane, although the satisfaction of both the personal and economic conditions like this is really a bit too idealistic.What Jane Austen tries to say is that it is wrong to marry just for money or for beauty, but it is also wrong to marry without consideration of economic conditions. Of the three types, she prefers the the last one. And in the last type, she seems to give her particular preference to the marriage of Darcy and Elizabeth.28. What is the social significance of The Canterbury Tales?The Canterbury Tales has its social significance in several ways. ①It represents the spirit of the rising bourgeoisie people’s right to pursue earthly happiness is affirmed by Chaucer. ②the ideas of humanism are shown in C haucer’s praising of man’s energy ,intellect, wit and love of love. ③Chaucer exposed and satirized the evils of the time. ④the corruption of the church is vigorously attacked. ⑤Chaucer showed sympathy for the poor to some extent. ⑥Chaucer established the language of literature.36.John Bunyan’s The Pilgrim’s Progress is generally regarded as a religious allegory. Say briefly about thisbook and what does the work symbolically concern? What is the predominant metaphor that is carried on through the whole work? And what is the author’s purpose in writing such a book?A. It concerns the search for spiritual salvation.B. “That life is a journey” is to urge people to abide by Christian doctrines.C. The author’s purpose is to urge people to abide by Christian doctrines and to seek salvation through constant struggles with their own weakness and all kinds of evils./doc/9933e5213169a4517723a372.html ment on Jane Austen’s c haracteristics of her novels.1. Jane Austen is one of the realistic novelists. She drew vivid and realistic pictures ofeveryday life of the country society in her novels.2. Jane Austen’s main concern is about human beings in their personal relations, human beingswith their families and neighbors. Stories of love and marriage provide the framework for all her novels and in them woman are always taken as the major characters.3. Jane Austen’s work has a very narrow literary field. She confines herself to small countryparishes, whose simple country people become the characters of her novels, but within her own field, she is unrivaled.4. Her novels show a wealth of humor, wit and delicate satire. Her plots are straight-forward.There is little action. Her characters are like real living creatures, with faults and virtues mixed as they are in real life. Jane Austen is successful in the employment of irony and frequent use of witty and delightful dialogues.。

假如有机会和袁隆平共进午餐用英语作文全文共3篇示例,供读者参考篇1If I Had the Opportunity to Have Lunch with Yuan LongpingEver since I was a young child, I've been fascinated by the incredible achievements of scientists and researchers who have dedicated their lives to making the world a better place. Among these remarkable individuals, one name stands out like a beacon of hope and inspiration – Yuan Longping, the father of hybrid rice. If given the opportunity, I would cherish every moment spent with this extraordinary man over a shared lunch, eagerly absorbing his wisdom and insights.As a student, I've been taught about Yuan Longping's groundbreaking work in developing high-yielding hybrid rice varieties, which have played a pivotal role in addressing global food security challenges. However, beyond the scientific facts and figures, I yearn to understand the man behind this monumental accomplishment – his motivations, his struggles, and the unwavering determination that drove him to persist in the face of seemingly insurmountable obstacles.Imagining our lunchtime conversation, I would begin by expressing my profound admiration for his life's work. I can envision myself listening intently as he recounts the early days of his research, when skepticism and doubts surrounded the very concept of hybrid rice. How did he maintain his conviction when so many dismissed his ideas as impractical or unattainable? What inner strength propelled him forward, even when the path ahead seemed shrouded in uncertainty?I would be captivated by the stories of his relentless experimentation, the countless hours spent in fields and laboratories, meticulously cross-pollinating and observing the rice plants. Each setback, each failure, must have been a testament to his unwavering perseverance. How did he navigate the emotional rollercoaster of disappointment and triumph? What lessons did he learn from those experiences that could inspire aspiring scientists like myself?Beyond the scientific challenges, I'm curious about the personal sacrifices he made in pursuit of his vision. Did he ever question his chosen path or contemplate abandoning his research? How did he balance his professional ambitions with his personal life and responsibilities? His ability to overcomeadversity and maintain focus on his goals is truly remarkable, and I would seek to understand the mindset that fueled his resilience.As our conversation unfolds, I would eagerly inquire about the pivotal moment when his breakthrough occurred – the moment when the first successful hybrid rice strain emerged, defying the skeptics and paving the way for a revolution in global food production. What emotions did he experience in that defining moment? How did he navigate the transition from a theoretical concept to a tangible, world-changing reality?Moreover, I would be fascinated to learn about the impact his work has had on countless lives around the globe. Yuan Longping's hybrid rice varieties have fed billions of people, alleviating hunger and malnutrition in some of the most impoverished regions of the world. How does he perceive his role in this monumental achievement? Does he feel a sense of responsibility to continue pushing the boundaries of agricultural science, or has his life's work already exceeded his wildest dreams?Beyond the realm of science, I would seek to understand Yuan Longping as a human being – his interests, his passions, and the values that have guided his extraordinary journey. What advice would he offer to young, aspiring scientists like myself,who dream of making a positive impact on the world? How can we cultivate the same unwavering dedication, resilience, and commitment to our pursuits?As our lunch draws to a close, I would express my gratitude for the opportunity to learn from one of the greatest minds of our time. Yuan Longping's life story is a testament to the power of human ingenuity, perseverance, and the relentless pursuit of knowledge for the betterment of humanity. His legacy extends far beyond the confines of scientific journals and accolades; it is a living, breathing inspiration that transcends generations and borders.In a world plagued by countless challenges, from climate change to food insecurity, Yuan Longping's work serves as a beacon of hope, reminding us that with unwavering determination and a steadfast commitment to scientific inquiry, we can overcome even the most daunting obstacles. As I bid farewell to this remarkable man, I would carry with me the invaluable lessons imparted during our lunchtime conversation, fueling my own aspirations to contribute to a better, more sustainable world.篇2If I Had the Chance to Have Lunch with Yuan LongpingThe great agriculturist Yuan Longping is one of my biggest heroes and inspirations. His lifelong dedication to developing high-yielding hybrid rice varieties has helped feed billions and alleviate poverty and hunger around the world. If I could have lunch with this remarkable man, I would be utterly starstruck yet brimming with questions I've longed to ask him.I'd begin by expressing my sincere admiration for his pioneering work in cultivating the first hybrid rice strain in the 1970s. Prior to this groundbreaking achievement, rice yields had remained relatively stagnant for centuries. Yuan's research into utilizing hybrid vigor - the increased productivity that occurs from crossbreeding two different parental lines - shattered long-standing barriers and ushered in a new era of agricultural advancement. What drove his innovative thinking? How did he maintain his resolve in the face of skepticism from his peers?I imagine Yuan would recount the years of painstaking cross-pollination trials required to develop that first successful hybrid combination. The careful selection, emasculation of male parents, wind pollination techniques - I've read about the laborious processes in textbooks, but hearing the personal struggles from the man himself would be incredibly insightful.I'm curious what sustained his motivation during the long periods of failed experiments. Did he ever contemplate abandoning the pursuit? What wisdom would he impart about persevering in the face of obstacles?Beyond his seminal hybrid rice breakthrough, I'm equally awed by Yuan's lifelong commitment to iterating on his work and developing increasingly hardy, high-yield varieties suited for different climates and conditions. Each new hybrid pushed the boundaries further, enabling more productive harvests with fewer inputs like fertilizers and pesticides. I'd love to learn about his approach to identifying promising parental lines to hybridize, the innovative techniques he utilized, and the creative mindset required for such continuous innovation over decades.Yuan's impact figures are simply astounding. His pioneering hybrids have produced an estimated 800 million tons more rice, enough to feed 300-400 million people annually. Staggering numbers like these are impossible to fully comprehend on an individual level. If I could sit with Yuan over lunch, I'd ask him how he personally conceptualizes the sheer magnitude of human lives他positively affected. Does he perceive it as one cohesive legacy, or does he find more meaning in the anecdotal accounts of specific farmers and families lifted from poverty? Iwonder how his work's colossal scale has shaped his perspective and sense of purpose.While discussing his professional achievements would certainly dominate our conversation, I'm equally intrigued to understand the man behind the accolades. What was his childhood like? How did growing up during the tumultuous years of the Chinese Civil War and the famine of the Great Leap Forward shape his worldview and motivations? I've read he became enamored with biology after a chance encounter with a book as a teenage refugee. That seemingly mundane moment charted the course for his life's work benefiting humanity. Such twists of fate fascinate me - I would ask Yuan to reflect on that pivotal event and the importance of maintaining open eyes and an open mind.Yuan has described his career as his "life's romance" - his enduring passion that transcended personal ambition. This deep sense of calling resonates powerfully with me as I contemplate my own future path. What advice would he share about pursuing one's life's work with wholehearted commitment? How did he continually rediscover motivation after each accomplishment? In an era where young people are increasingly restless and flitbetween pursuits, I'm captivated by Yuan's ability to channel lifelong devotion to a singular, socially impactful mission.At 92 years old, Yuan Longping continues tirelessly refining his work. Having officially "re-retired" several times already, he remains driven to solve new agricultural challenges facing humanity, like developing drought-resistant and saline-tolerant rice varieties. I'm humbled by his relentless industry and would seek his insights on sustaining such fervent dedication over an entire working lifetime. How does he cultivate reverence for his field while avoiding hubris over past successes?Throughout our conversation, I have no doubt Yuan's humility and humanitarian spirit would shine through. He has frequently downplayed the "Father of Hybrid Rice" moniker, insisting his work belongs to the people. This humbleness despite his legendary stature is immensely admirable to me, especially in a society where arrogance often accompanies achievement. If we discussed values, I would ask how he has guarded against pride and self-aggrandizement while achieving heights few humans ever attain. His ability to retain grounded perspective seems to have been intrinsically tied to his unwavering focus on uplifting humanity rather thanself-glorification.Finally, having satiated my endless questions, I would conclude our hypothetical lunch by thanking Yuan for his selfless life's work and for taking the time to share his experiences with me. His path serves as a profound inspiration for how I hope to live with purpose, integrity and steadfast commitment to service. While I can only dream of having a fraction of Yuan Longping's colossal impact, his spirit infuses me with determination to identify my own calling and pour myself fully into the betterment of our world.Undoubtedly, the opportunity to share a humble meal with one of humanity's pre-eminent agricultural pioneers would be the honor of a lifetime. His pioneering science catalyzed shifts that enhanced global food security and economic prosperity. Yet Yuan seems to have retained a beautiful simplicity, always grounding his work's significance in the uplifted lives of everyday people. This seamless dovetailing of groundbreaking achievement and enlightened compassion encapsulates a supreme model of human endeavor that I can only aspire to emulate. Having lunch with Yuan Longping would provide unparalleled wisdom for my own journey of striving to lead a life of both brilliant innovation and inspirational character.篇3If I Had Lunch With Yuan LongpingThe name Yuan Longping may not ring a bell for many of my peers, but for me, he is an icon, a real-life hero whose groundbreaking work has quite literally allowed billions to eat. If I had the incredible opportunity to share a meal with the "Father of Hybrid Rice," my mind would be brimming with questions to ask this living legend.First, I would inquire about his early life and what first sparked his passion for agriculture and plant research. Born in 1930 in Beijing, did he have any inkling as a youth that he would one day revolutionize global food production? Or was it more a gradual realization of his calling as he pursued his studies? I can't even fathom the determination and grit it must have taken to doggedly toil away at hybrid rice breeding for years on end before achieving his historic breakthrough.I would ask Mr. Yuan to vividly recount that seminal moment in 1973 when his pioneering labor finally paid off with the first commercially viable hybrid rice strain. After a lifetime's worth of perseverance, often spent laboring from before dawn until well past dusk, what went through his mind? Did he immediately grasp the profound impact his innovation would have? Or was the significance of that achievement not fully clear at first?Evolving hybrid strains led to far superior rice crop yields compared to conventional inbred varieties. I'm sure many at the time doubted whether such a paradigm shift in agriculture was truly feasible. So I'm incredibly curious what specific challenges and naysayers Mr. Yuan had to overcome in those early years before hybrid rice cultivation spread like wildfire across China and then the world.Yuan Longping's unwavering commitment to enhancing global food security has been awe-inspiring. According to the World Food Prize Foundation, his life's work helped alleviate hunger for hundreds of millions and was pivotal in preventing mass starvation in densely populated regions. If I do get to meet him, I would express my profound gratitude and admiration for the way he utilized science to directly improve humanity'swell-being on a staggering scale.Beyond just hybrid rice, I'm very intrigued by Yuan's overarching philosophy on the moral imperative to feed an ever-growing global population in an environmentally sustainable manner. In interviews, he has described traditional crop breeding techniques as being too slow and inefficient given the urgent need to boost yields. At the same time, he strongly advocated for hybrid breeding over genetic modification out ofsafety concerns. I'm keen to better understand his nuanced perspective on striking that balance between rapidly ramping up food production and minimizing ecological harm.On a personal level, I would love to gain insight into what continues motivating Yuan at 93 years young to continually enhance and iterate on his hybrid crop research. He has often been quoted as saying his work is far from finished, out of a sense that hunger remains an immense global issue requiring constant innovation. With a mind as brilliant as his, he could have likely taken it easy long ago and earned immense profits by commercializing his previous breakthroughs. Yet he stays hungry, passionate, andRestlessly pioneering for the greater good. As a young student, I find that drive and moral conviction hugely aspirational.I feel immensely fortunate to be coming of age in a world firmly benefitting from Yuan Longping's stunning life achievements. Even as hybrid crops continue enhancing lives across the developing world, he dedicated his twilight years to an even more ambitious quest - developing strains ofsalt-tolerant hybrid rice that can be grown in coastal areas affected by soil salinity. The potential for this salt-resistant rice to boost food security in nations plagued by soil degradation isabsolutely game-changing. I would be eager to hear Mr. Yuan's vermion of this journey, the latest milestones his team has reached, and where he sees this critical work heading next.The very notion of sciencing hybrid rice was at first deemed preposterous and impossible by many experts. Yet through bloody stubbornness and creative genius, Yuan defied the odds and altered the course of human civilization. His is an unrelenting can-do spirit that sees opportunities for progress where others only find dead ends. If I'm blessed with the opportunity to meet Yuan Longping, I hope to soak up as much of that audacious innovator's mindset as I possibly can.Imagine being able to directly pick the brain of someone who helped uplift billions out of hunger and malnutrition. Imagine learning firsthand from the man who upended centuries of received wisdom in agronomy. Imagine soaking in the luminous wisdom and moral clarity of someone widely regarded as one of the greatest humanitarians of the modern age. I would be absolutely awestruck to experience that, and would no doubt walk away endlessly inspired to chart an impactful life path of my own, however I can leave the world that much better than I found it.。

Now they are extinct. Does it matter? Has our environment been affected by their absence? Has the quality of our own life been changed? The answer to these questi ons is “Yes.”Yes. It does matter if we destroy an endangered species habitat to develop more farmland, housing or industrial parks. There is a delicate balance of nature. If one small part is removed, it will effect all the other parts.For example, if certain trees are cut down, bats will have no place to roost. If they cannot roost, they cannot breed. If there are no bats, there will be no animal, or bird to eat certain insects that plague our crops.Yes. Our environment has been affected by the absence of certain animals.

So the crocodile, has now become almost extinct animals.Animal friends, a lot of destruction of human will have serious adverse consequences, ecological environment caused by serious imbalance, so that the human living environment is destroyed. Eliminate animal, is to eliminate human oneself, if one day the animals in the world are gone, that human can survive? To protect animals, cherish this nature of every creature! Let us start from now, to protect animals, make the world a better place! 保护动物,从我做起英语作文篇14Many wild animals are facing the danger of extinction, because the environment that they are living in has changed greatly. For example, with the developmet of cities, the using of insecticide and serious pollution, their living areas have become narrowcr and narrower. Many of the wild animals, now are confronted with food crisis. At the same time, man is killing off species just for getting their fur, skin, horns, teeth and meat.In order to protect our resources of ecology, people should realize that the loss of any species is at least the loss of source of knowledge and a source of natural beauty. There fore, measures of the following should be taken: pollution standards are made to keepdown poisons; killing off certain rare species is prohibited; national parks should be set up as wild life, reserves.Only if we human beings take some drastic measures can wild animals be preserved.。
八年级下册英语神话故事作文愚公移山全文共6篇示例,供读者参考篇1The Foolish Old Man Removed the MountainsA long time ago, there lived an old man named Yugong in the Taihang mountains. His house was very inconveniently situated - there were two huge mountains right in front of it that blocked his doorway! No matter where Yugong wanted to go, he had to go over or around the mountains first. It was really annoying and tiring.One day, Yugong got so fed up that he decided he was going to remove the mountains once and for all. His family members all laughed at him when he told them his plan. "You're just a feeble old man," they said. "How could you possibly move those giant mountains all by yourself? That's impossible!"But Yugong didn't listen to them. He was determined to get rid of those pesky mountains no matter what. So early the next morning, he grabbed a shovel and a basket and set to work. He dug out a shovelful of dirt and rock from the base of one mountain, carried it in his basket, and dumped it out over theedge of a valley far away. Then he went back and repeated the same thing again. And again. And again.His stupid little neighbors saw what Yugong was doing and started laughing hysterically. "You crazy old coot!" they shouted, doubling over in laughter. "Give it up already! At that rate, it will take you millions of years to move those mountains!"Yugong simply ignored them and kept digging and carrying basket after basket of dirt without resting. As the days and weeks went by, one bright young boy from the village started to feel sorry for the old man. He approached Yugong and said, "Look Grandpa, I admire your perseverance, but this task is clearly too big for a human to accomplish. Why don't you stop wasting your final years like this? Those mountains are just too enormous."Yugong wiped the sweat from his brow and replied, "When I die, my children will continue this work. When they die, their children will carry it on. Generations after generations of my descendents will keep removing basketful after basketful. Someday, even if it takes millions of years, these mountains will be fully leveled!"Amazed by the old man's unwavering spirit, the young boy joined Yugong and grabbed a shovel to help him dig. News of the old man's perseverance and the boy's support then startedspreading to surrounding villages. Before long, people from all over were inspired by their determination and came to help move the mountains bit by bit.After many years of this, the supernatural forces of the heavens took notice of the humans' collective willpower. Two celestial beings looked down from the clouds and saw the generations of people tirelessly digging and carrying dirt away. They were so moved by these mere mortals' refusal to give up that they decided to grant them a miracle.With a wave of their mighty hands, the celestial beings made the mountains suddenly crumble into tiny pieces and disappear from existence! The people all celebrated with joy at the huge flatlands that now lay before them, able to be cultivated into farms and villages with ease. From that day on, they sang praises of Yugong's persistence that inspired the gods to clear their path.The moral of this story is that even the most impossible tasks can be achieved through perseverance, hard work, and an unwavering spirit that never gives up. If we rally together as a community driven by a common goal, we have the power to move mountains! So whenever you are faced with seeminglyinsurmountable obstacles in life, remember dear friends - be like the Foolish Old Man, and keep digging!篇2The Foolish Old Man Who Removed the MountainsHey guys! Today I want to tell you about this super cool story I read in my English textbook. It's an ancient Chinese fable called "The Foolish Old Man Who Removed the Mountains." Pretty crazy title, right? But just wait until you hear what it's about!So there was this old dude named Yugong who lived in these really tall, steep mountains in northern China. The mountains were right in front of his house, blocking the way whenever he wanted to go anywhere. Can you imagine having to climb over a huge mountain just to get to the village? No thanks!Yugong got totally fed up with the mountains getting in his way all the time. One day, he was like "You know what? I'm sick of these stupid mountains. I'm going to get rid of them!" His family was probably like "Granddad, you're crazy! How can a little old man move entire mountains?" But Yugong didn't listen to their doubts.With his little shovel and basket, Yugong started digging and carrying away the soil and rocks from the mountains, one little bit at a time. His super stubborn attitude was no joke! Even though the mountains were taller than skyscrapers and Yugong was just a tiny old man, he kept on digging every single day without stopping.The neighborhood kids saw him working and thought he had gone totally bonkers. They started laughing at him and making fun of his "brilliant" idea to move the mountains. Some people even felt bad for poor Yugong and tried to talk some sense into him, saying "Old man, hate to break it to you, but you'll never be able to move those huge mountains all by yourself. Why don't you give up this crazy mission?"But Yugong wouldn't give up, no matter what anyone said. He was more determined than ever to prove everyone wrong. He told the kids and villagers, "When I die, my sons will carry on. When they die, their sons will take over. Sooner or later, these mountains will be removed!" Yugong's perseverance was off the charts.Then get this - a magical being from Heaven watched what was happening and was really impressed by Yugong's willpower and refusal to give up, even though his goal seemed impossible.The magical being thought, "This old guy's spirit is incredible! He's working so hard and has so much faith that he can move the mountains through sheer willpower alone. I need to give him a hand."So the magical being from Heaven summoned two huge strong deities to help out. With one swing of their mighty arms, the deities made the mountains crumble into dust! Just like that, poof! The mountains blocking Yugong's way were totally gone. The old man's dream came true, all because he stayed dedicated to his goal no matter how crazy it seemed.When Yugong saw that the mountains had disappeared, he was completely stunned. The villagers couldn't believe their eyes either! They were amazed that this feeble old man's unwavering perseverance had paid off in such an unbelievable way. From that day on, Yugong was known as a legend for his willpower and refusal to give up against all odds.Isn't that one of the craziest stories you've ever heard? It just shows that you should never underestimate someone, no matter how impossible their goal may seem. If you stick with something long enough and never lose faith, even miracles can happen! Yugong taught us that ability isn't as important as determination and persistence.Whenever I feel like giving up on something difficult, I think of this fable. If a tiny old man can metaphorically "move mountains" just by sheer willpower and hard work, then I can achieve my goals too if I never quit. Yugong's inspiring tale motivates me to develop that same unstoppable spirit of perseverance, no matter how big the obstacles are. With enough dedication and effort, nothing is truly impossible.So what did you think of the story? Let me know if you've heard any other awesome fables or folktales that can encourage us to work hard and never give up on our dreams. I'd love to hear them! Thanks for reading my essay. Now go attack those mountains in your life, you guys got this!篇3The Foolish Old Man Who Moved MountainsHi there! My English teacher asked us to read an ancient Chinese story called "The Foolish Old Man Who Removed the Mountains" and write an essay about it. At first, I wasn't too excited because it sounded kind of boring. But once I read the story, I thought it was actually really cool!The story is about this really old guy named Yugong who lived in northern China ages ago. Yugong had a huge problem -there were these two massive mountains right in front of his house that blocked the way. I'm talking ginormous mountains that seemed impossible to get rid of. But Yugong really wanted to flatten them so his family could travel easily.So Yugong came up with this crazy plan to dig up the mountains bit by bit. He grabbed a pickaxe and shovel and started digging and moving the earth and rocks. His sons and neighbors all laughed at him at first. They were like "You're too old and those mountains are way too big! You'll never be able to move them, you foolish old man!"But Yugong didn't listen. He was determined and kept on digging every single day from sunrise to sunset. As the story goes, after he had been digging for a while, the emperor of the heavens noticed how hard Yugong was working and sent two angels down to talk to him.The angels asked Yugong, "You're an old man and those mountains are too massive to dig up. Why are you doing this impossible task instead of resting?" Yugong responded by saying, "When I die, my sons will take over. When they die, their sons will take over. Generation after generation, we'll keep digging until those mountains are flat!"The angels were so impressed by Yugong's perseverance and refusal to give up that they decided to help him out. Using their magical abilities, the angels picked up the mountains and carried them far away! All of a sudden, the path was completely clear for Yugong's village. Pretty crazy, right?When I first heard this tale, I kind of thought Yugong was being a bit silly and stubborn by trying to move those humongous mountains all by himself at his old age. But the more I thought about it, the more I realized the story's deeper meaning.The moral of the story is that if you are diligent and never give up on your goals, even seemingly impossible tasks can be achieved through hard work and perseverance. As the ancient philosopher Lao Tzu said, "The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." Yugong took that first difficult step and kept taking steps day after day.The story reminds me of my own struggles sometimes with really hard homework assignments or frustrating video game levels that seem impossible to beat at first. But instead of just giving up, I need to be like Yugong and chip away at the problem bit by bit until I accomplish my goal. With passion and persistence over time, no obstacle is too big to overcome!Another cool part of the story is how the heavens rewarded Yugong for his perseverant spirit by having the angels remove the mountains. I think this symbolizes how the universe will open doors and create opportunities for those who demonstrate unwavering commitment to their goals and don't make excuses.My favorite quote from the story is when Yugong says "When I die, my sons will take over. When they die, their sons will take over..." This shows his multi-generational thinking and that he was willing to motivate future generations to carry on the work even after he was gone. That's the kind of legacy I want to leave too - starting things that can be built upon forever.So in conclusion, even though the title calls Yugong a "foolish old man," I think he was actually incredibly wise and inspirational. He taught the world to have audacious goals, make constant incremental progress, persevere through difficulties, and motivate others to continue your mission. I'm going to channel the spirit of Yugong the next time I feel like giving up on something! The tale of the old man moving mountains will definitely stick with me as an empowering life lesson. Sometimes a little "foolishness" and not listening to the doubters is exactly what's needed to achieve the impossible!篇4The Foolish Old Man Who Moved MountainsOnce upon a time, there was an old man who lived in a village at the foot of two huge mountains. His name was Yugong, but everybody called him the Foolish Old Man because he had a crazy idea. You see, those mountains blocked the way in and out of the village. It was really annoying and inconvenient for everyone!One day, Yugong decided he was going to dig up the mountains with just a hoe and basket! His family tried to stop him. "Poppy, you're too old and those mountains are too big! It's impossible!" they said. But the Foolish Old Man didn't listen. He just grabbed his tools and got to work bright and early every morning.The villagers all laughed at the silly old man digging at the giant mountains day after day. "He'll never move those mountains, no matter how hard he tries!" they snickered. But Yugong didn't care what anyone said. He just dug and dug, throwing dirt into his basket and hauling it away.After a few weeks, a funny thing happened. A boy from the village brought his little brother over to watch the Foolish Old Man at work. The younger boy couldn't stop laughing at the oldman's crazy task. But his older brother had a different perspective."Hey, don't laugh!" the older boy scolded. "When I grow up, I'm going to help Yugong dig these mountains away too!"Hearing this, the Foolish Old Man felt overjoyed. With a huge grin, he turned to the boys and said, "That's wonderful! When your friends grow up, they'll want to help us too. And their friends will join in, and their friends after that. Generation after generation, more diggers will come. We'll never stop until these mountains are flat!"The boy pondered this for a moment, then his eyes went wide with amazement. "Why...you're right! With everyone helping bit by bit, we really could move these mountains in our lifetimes!"Word quickly spread through the village about what the Foolish Old Man had said. At first, the villagers laughed harder than ever. "He's crazier than we thought!" they guffawed.But the more they considered Yugong's patient, persistent approach and his inspiring dream of everyone working together, the more the villagers began to realize the truth in his words.One by one, then family by family, they started joining the old man's effort each morning with their own tools.Within a few months, the entire village was digging alongside Yugong! They formed teams, created work schedules, and developed new digging techniques to move the earth faster than ever. Spirits soared as the villagers saw their progress adding up day by day.News of the villagers' ambitious undertaking soon spread beyond the mountains to other villages, then to towns in the region, and before long to cities across the land. More and more people wurden sending workers to help dig. Thousands of people worked together tirelessly as the years rolled by.Sadly, after many seasons of backbreaking labor, the Foolish Old Man grew too frail to keep digging each day. But he didn't mind. His dream was becoming a reality beyond his wildest hopes! Smiling peacefully from his bed, Yugong could hear the chisels chipping away at rock and the chants of the diggers echoing through the valley before he took his last breaths.More decades passed as the work progressed at an astonishing pace, with new stretches of flat land constantly being cleared. Finally, after the passage of untold generations, the once unconquerable mountains were completely leveled! Where thepeaks had pierced the clouds now lay vast fertile fields and valleys stretched out as far as the eye could see.The first crops were planted in the rich soil left behind, and channels were dug to bring fresh water from the rivers that now flowed unobstructed without the mountains blocking their paths.A new city was built on the plains, with roads branching out to connect the surrounding villages in ways that hadn't been possible before.When it came time to name the city, the decision was clear to all. They called it Yugong, in honor of the Foolish Old Man whose ridiculous vision had set an incredible movement in motion centuries earlier. A monument was erected at the center of the city depicting Yugong digging with his trusty hoe and basket, inspiring future generations to persevere no matter how impossible their dreams may seem.And that is the story of how willpower, hard work, and hope can move mountains when people come together, one small step at a time. I'll never forget the perseverance of the Foolish Old Man who proved that anything is possible if you never give up! The End.篇5The Foolish Old Man Who Moved MountainsA Retelling of the Chinese MythThere once was an old man who lived in a village at the foot of two huge mountains called the Taihang Mountains. The mountains were so tall that their peaks seemed to pierce the sky! They blocked the rising sun in the morning and the setting sun at night. The old man's name was Yugong, but everyone called him the Foolish Old Man because of his strange idea.One day, Yugong decided he was going to dig up the Taihang Mountains all by himself! His neighbors laughed at him. "You silly old fool!" they mocked. "How can a tiny man like you possibly move mountains that are taller than the heavens?"But Yugong didn't listen to them. He was determined to dig until the mountains were flat. Early every morning, he went out with just a shovel and a basket. He dug out earth and rocks and put them in his basket. When the basket was full, he carried it far away and dumped out the contents. Then he went back for another load.Yugong's silly old wife supported his crazy idea. She brought him lunch and water every day so he could keep working without getting too tired. Their four sons also pitched in to help their dadwhen they weren't working in the fields. Even though it was backbreaking work, the family dug together day after day.As the years went by, a funny thing happened. Inspired by Yugong's perseverance, people from surrounding villages started joining in. At first it was just a few folks. But gradually more and more people came to help dig until hundreds were shoveling alongside the Foolish Old Man and his family. The mountains were slowly being transported away, one basket load at a time!One day, the King of the Heavens looked down from his palace in the clouds and saw the amazing sight of hundreds of little humans working together to dig up the Taihang Mountains. At first he laughed at their foolishness. But the harder he watched, the more impressed he became by their grit and determination.The King of the Heavens summoned two of his strongest sons, the Mountain Movers. He said, "Those simple humans down there have shown more perseverance and drive than I've ever seen! We must not be outdone by puny mortals. Let's go down there right now and move those mountains for them."The two gods flew down from the heavens trailing clouds of mist behind them. They hovered over the site of all the diggingand clapped their hands together. The very earth shook with the thunderous sound! Suddenly, the Taihang Mountains began to rise up from their roots. Higher and higher they rose until they were drifting among the clouds.With another clap, the Mountain Movers sent the Taihang Mountains soaring far away over the horizon until they were just tiny bumps in the distance. Now there was an open plain right where the towering peaks used to stand. The rising and setting suns could finally shine on Yugong's village!Everyone froze in shock and awe, staring at the flat expanse of land before them. The once-mighty mountains were gone! For a long while, the villagers just stood there gaping in stunned silence.Finally, Yugong found his tongue. Shaking his head in disbelief, he said, "If I had known that His Majesty the King of the Heavens would move the mountains for us, I wouldn't have put everyone through all this trouble by digging!" Then the Foolish Old Man started laughing joyfully.One by one, the other villagers joined in laughing too -- relieved and happy that their backbreaking labor was over. What had seemed like an impossible, foolish task had beenaccomplished through sheer will and perseverance. And their efforts were even rewarded by the gods!From that day forward, the people in Yugong's village never called him the Foolish Old Man again. Instead, he became known as the Wise Old Man whose determined actions had moved heaven and earth. His story spread far and wide, inspiring people never to give up on pursuing their goals, no matter how impossible they may seem.The end!篇6The Foolish Old Man Who Moved MountainsHi, my name is Xiao Ming and I'm going to tell you an awesome story from my 8th grade English textbook. It's an old Chinese tale called "The Foolish Old Man Who Moved Mountains." Get ready, because this story is totally epic!A long, long time ago, there lived an old man named Yugong in a tiny village in China. Yugong had a huuuuge problem. Right smack in front of his house were these gigantic mountains that blocked the way. Whenever Yugong wanted togo somewhere, he had to walk alllll the way around the massive mountains. It was such a pain!One day, Yugong was all "Enough is enough! I'm sick of these stupid mountains always getting in my way. I'm going to dig them up and move them somewhere else!" His kids and neighbors were like "Dad, you're craaaazy! Those mountains are way too big. You'll never be able to move them!" But the old man didn't listen one bit.Bright and early the very next morning, Yugong grabbed a shovel and a bucket and started digging away at the base of one of the enormous mountains. Dig dig dig, all day long under the hot sun. His sons came by and said "Father, why are you wasting your time? This is impossible!" But Yugong shouted back "Impossible schmimpossible! Human perseverance is unstoppable. Even if I drop dead, my children can carry on. And their children after them. We'll keep at it generation after generation until these mountains are flattened!" Wow, what determination!Well, that night, the most amazing thing happened. The king of the heavens, a mighty ruler named Yu Di, heard all about this crazy old guy trying to dig up the mountains with his bare hands. Yu Di thought it was so crazy and silly that he just had to see itfor himself. So he sent two divine helpers down from the heavens to check it out.When the helpers got to the village, they saw Yugong fast asleep in his bed, completely tuckered out from a whole day of digging. The helpers woke him up and asked "Hey old man, why on earth are you doing this? Don't you realize you'll never be able to move those enormous mountains?" Yugong looked them straight in the eye and said "When I die, my sons will carry on. When they die, their sons will carry on. Generation after generation, we'll keep digging until those mountains are flat. We have unwavering spirit and endless perseverance on our side. What do mere mountains matter?" Woah, those are some powerful words!The celestial helpers were stunned. They went back up to the heavens and told Yu Di all about Yugong's incredible willpower and drive. Yu Di was so moved by the old man's spirit that he summoned two mighty forces of nature - the Spirits of the Seas and the Spirits of the Mountains. Yu Di said "You see how this feeble old man is willing to do the impossible through sheer persistence? We must not be outdone by mortals! Use your powers to flatten those mountains out of respect for Yugong's perseverance and ambition."At Yu Di's command, the Spirits of the Seas whipped up enormous ocean waves that crashed against the mountains and slowly eroded them down. The Spirits of the Mountains rained down boulders and stones from the peaks until the mountains crumbled and flattened. In no time at all, the once towering mountains were completely leveled thanks to those supernatural mountain-moving powers!The next morning, Yugong woke up, stretched, and walked outside his house - and his jaw just dropped to the ground! The huge mountains that had haunted his village for centuries were nowhere to be seen. In their place was a wide open plain as flat as could be. Yugong was absolutely dumbfounded. How on earth did this happen?!His sons ran outside and they all stood there in shocked silence, gaping at the incredible scene in front of them. Suddenly, a crackling sound filled the air and the two celestial helpers appeared in the sky. They told Yugong "Old man, because of your undying courage and drive, the king of the heavens ordered the mountains to be flattened out of respect for your perseverance. Your unwavering ambition moved heaven and earth!"Yugong couldn't believe what was happening. He fell to his knees, shedding humble tears of joy, and exclaimed "All my life I thought we were just helpless mortals, but I now see that with enough determination, no obstacle is immovable!" His sons and neighbors were amazed beyond words. From that day on, people told and retold the story of how an ordinary old man's integrity and resolve literally moved mountains.The end! How's that for a crazy awesome tale? Yugong is the man! He wouldn't take "no" for an answer and his perseverance paid off in a way he never could've imagined. This story teaches us that if we just keeping chipping away at something with all our heart and soul, there's no mountain too high, no problem too big. All we gotta do is keep on keepin' on and never ever give up. Just imagine if Yugong had gotten discouraged and quit on the first day. The mountains would've never been moved!Well, that's all I got for now. I don't know about you, but this story fired me up big time. Next time I'm facing a huge challenge, I'm going to remember The Foolish Old Man Who Moved Mountains and stay determined no matter what! OK, gotta run. Thanks for reading my essay and catch you later!。

成功之路英语作文篇1Just as the old saying goes “Good beginning is half done”, illustrating the importance and necessity of the preparation work on the condition that you have the longing for the success .A great proportion of inpiduals hold the view that preparation makes an essential part of in the process of achievement; on the contrary, the other parts of persons are in favor of the idea that the previous arrangement is a minor factor for success.正如俗话所说的“好的开端是成功的”,说明了准备工作的重要性和必要性,对你有渴望成功的条件,一个伟大的比例的人认为,准备是一个重要组成部分,在成就的过程中,相反,其他部分的人是赞成的想法,以前的安排是一个次要因素的成功。
The essentiality of the preparation work is able to be accounted by the following example .As a matter of fact, the method accounts more than the results for the majority of situations, For instance, a student who wants to win outstanding academic performance ought to learn the effective and reasonable methods and approaches for memory and comprehension of the subjects such as physics, chemistry, mathematics and so on. The workers in the factories should learn to master the technique of operating the machines beforehand and in this way can they produce the qualified goods and merchandises.准备工作的重要性可以通过下面的例子来解释。
Three months later FFCC had suddenly been dissolved with no reasons given. One could assume that Withers and his associates were now in disgrace, but there had been no report of the matter in the Press or on the telescreen. That was to be expected, since it was unusual for political offenders to be put on trial or even publicly denounced. The great purges involving thousands of people, with public trials of traitors and thought-criminals who made abject confession of their crimes and were afterwards executed, were special show-pieces not occurring oftener than once in a couple of years. More commonly, people who had incurred the displeasure of the Party simply disappeared and were never heard of again. One never had the smallest clue as to what had happened to them. In some cases they might not even be dead. Perhaps thirty people personally known to Winston, not counting his parents, had disappeared at one time or another.
Winston stroked his nose gently with a paper-clip. In the cubicle across the way Comrade Tillotson was still crouching secretively over his speakwrite. He raised his head for a moment: again the hostile spectacle-flash. Winston wondered whether Comrade Tillotson was engaged on the same job as himself. It was perfectly possible. So tricky a piece of work would never be entrusted to a single person: on the other hand, to turn it over to a committee would be to admit openly that an act of fabrication was taking place. V ery likely as many as a dozen people were now working away on rival versions of what Big Brother had actually said. And presently some master brain in the Inner Party would select this version or that, would re-edit it and set in motion the complex processes of cross-referencing that would be required, and then the chosen lie would pass into the permanent records and become truth.
Winston did not know why Withers had been disgraced. Perhaps it was for corruption or incompetence. Perhaps Big Brother was merely getting rid of a too-popular subordinate. Perhaps Withers or someone close to him had been suspected of heretical tendencies. Or perhaps -- what was likeliest of all -- the thing had simply happened because purges and vaporizations were a necessary part of the mechanics of government. The only real clue lay in the words 'refs unpersons', which indicated that Withers was already dead. You could not invariably assume this to be the case when people were arrested. Sometimes they were released and allowed to remain at liberty for as much as a year or two years before being executed. Very occasionally some person whom you had believed dead long since would make a ghostly reappearance at some public trial where he would implicate hundreds of others by his testimony before vanishing, this time for ever. Withers, however, was already an unperson. He did not exist: he had never existed. Winston decided that it would not be enough simply to reverse the tendency of Big Brother's speech. It was better to make it deal with something totally unconnected with its original subject.
He might turn the speech into the usual denunciation of traitors and thought-criminals, but that was a little too obvious, while to invent a victory at the front, or some triumph of over-production in the Ninth Three-Year Plan, might complicate the records too much. What was needed was a piece of pure fantasy. Suddenly there sprang into his mind, ready made as it were, the image of a certain Comrade Ogilvy, who had recently died in battle, in heroic circumstances. There were occasions when Big Brother devoted his Order for the Day to commemorating some humble, rank-and-file Party member whose life and death he held up as an example worthy to be followed. Today he should commemorate Comrade Ogilvy. It was true that there was no such person as
Comrade Ogilvy, but a few lines of print and a couple of faked photographs would soon bring him into existence.。
