The Real Truth About Lies谎言的真谛At the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, psychology professor Bella DePaulo got 77 students and 70 townspeople to volunteer for an unusual project. All kept diaries for a week, recording the numbers and details of the lies they told.One student and six Charlottesville residents professed to have told no falsehoods. The other 140 participants told 1,535.The lies were most often not what most of us would call earth-shattering. Someone would pretend to be more positive or supportive of a spouse or friend than he or she really was, or feign agreement with a relative's opinion. According to DePaulo, women in their interactions with other women lied mostly to spare the other's feelings. Men lied to other men generally for self-promoting reasons.Most strikingly, these tellers-of-a-thousand-lies reported that their deceptions caused them "little preoccupation or regret" . Might that, too, be a lie? Perhaps. But there is evidence that this attitude toward casual use of prevarication is common.For example, 20,000 middle-and high-schoolers were surveyed by the Josephson Institute of Ethics--a nonprofit organization in Marina del Rey, Calif., devoted to character education. Ninety-two percent of the teenagers admitted having lied to their parents in the previous year, and 73 percent characterized themselves as "serial liars", meaning they told lies weekly. Despite these admissions, 91 percent of all respondents said they were "satisfied with my own ethics and character".Think how often we hear the expressions "I'll call you" or "The check is in the mail or "I'm sorry, but he stepped out". And then there are professions-- lawyers, pundits, PR consultants--whose members seem to specialize in shaping or spinning the truth to suit clients' needs.Little white lies have become ubiquitous , and the reasons we give each other for telling fibs are familiar. Consider, for example, a Southern California corporate executive whom I'll call Tom. He goes with his wife and son to his mother-in-law's home for Thanksgiving dinner every year. Tom dislikes her ' special pumpkin pie intensely . Invariably he tells her how wonderful it is, to avoid hurting her feelings."What's wrong with that?" Tom asked Michael Josephson, president of the Josephson Institute. It's a question we might all ask.Josephson replied by asking Tom to consider the lie from his mother-in-law's point of view. Suppose that one day Tom's child blurts out the truth, and she discovers the deceit. Will she tell her son-in-law, "Thank you for caring so much?" Or is she more likely to feel hurt and say, "How could you have misled me all these years? And what else have you lied to me about?"And what might Tom's mother-in-law now suspect about her own daughter? And will Tom's boy lie to his parents and yet be satisfied with his own character?How often do we compliment people on how well they look, or express our appreciation for gifts, when we don't really mean it? Surely, these "nice" lies are harmless and well intended, a necessary social lubricant. But, like Tom, we should remember the words of English novelist Sir Walter Scott, who wrote, "What a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive."Even seemingly harmless falsehoods can have unforeseen consequences. Philosopher Sissela Bok warns us that they can put us on a slippery slope. "After the first lies, others can come more easily, she wrote in her book Lying: Moral Choice in Public and Private Life. " Psychological barriers wear down; the ability to make more distinctions can coarsen ; the liar's perception of his chances of being caught maywarp."Take the pumpkin pie lies. In the first place, it wasn't just that he wanted his mother-in-law to feel good. Whether he realized it or not, he really wanted her to think highly of him. And after the initial deceit he needed to tell more lies to cover up the first one.Who believes it anymore when they're told that the person they want to reach by phone is "in a meeting"? By itself, that kind of lie is of no great consequence. Still, the endless proliferation of these little prevarications does matter.Once they've become common enough, even the small untruths that are not meant to hurt encourage a certain cynicism and loss of trust. "When (trust) is damaged, warns Bok, the community as a whole suffers; and when it is destroyed, societies falter and collapse."Are all white lies to be avoided at all costs? Not necessarily. The most understandable and forgivable lies are an exchange of what ethicists refer to as the principle of trust for the principle of caring, "like telling children about the tooth fairy, or deceiving someone to set them up for a surprise party," Josephson says. "Still, we must ask ourselves if we are willing to give our friends and associates the authority to lie to us whenever they think it is for our own good."Josephson suggests a simple test. If someone you lie to finds out the truth, will he thank you for caring? Or will he feel his long-term trust in you has been under-mined?And if you're not sure, Mark Twain has given us a good rule of thumb. "When in doubt, tell the truth. It will confound your enemies and astound your friends."译文:谎言的真谛在夏洛特斯维尔的弗吉尼亚大里,心理学教授贝拉·德帕罗组织了一次由77名学生和70名市民志愿参加的特别活动。

But when she became a mother and started hanging out with other parents,she didn't bring it up,even when the conversation turned to flying.It would have_____31_____the mood.Then in April2018,her home country of Sweden_____32_____a tax on aviation(飞行).The climate impacts of flying were on the evening news and the mood changed. Rosen_____33_____the moment.With her neighbor Lotta Hammar,she launched a campaign called"We stay on the ground",which has_____34_____10,000people to commit to avoid flights in2019.Kudos.But here's the_____35_____truth:in the grand scheme of things,barely anyone will follow suit.The_____36_____classes tend to have a lot to say about the eco benefits of avoiding meat,cycling and eating locally sourced food.But that_____37_____generally disappears when it comes to flying.We can't rely on international___38_____to stop aviation emission either.Yes,the UN has fixed up a deal to cap aviation emissions beyond2020.But it lacks real bite,allowing airlines to continue emitting carbon provided they offset(抵消)it.All this means we could really do with green tech riding to the rescue.Here,at least,there is a little good news.Even rather simple measures like freeing planes to fly in straighter lines could_____39_____cut carbon emissions.Hybrid(混合动力的)electric aircraft are also the pipeline.And we already know that planes can mix up to50per cent biofuels into their tanksand fly safely.It's time to redouble our_____40_____to make planes green.In the meantime,if you are still looking for a New Year's resolution,you might want to think about joining those 105000Swedes.III.Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B,C and D.Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.In summarising the state of the planet—rising population,widespread conflict,one-sixth of the planet suffering extreme poverty and hunger,global warming一Jeffrey Sachs,author of"The Common Wealth、can paint a terrible picture.However,he's an_____41_____and believes that all of these problems can be overcome in relatively straightforward ways and at relatively little cost.That's because the root causes are interconnected and_____42_____ man-made.Take child morality(死亡).Perhaps surprisingly,the higher the child morality rate is,the higher the birth rate.This leads to a_____43_____population which puts a greater stress on already scarce resources,so farmers have to work harder to produce enough food for all, which means children are often put to work in the fields or at home.This,_____44_____, stops children getting the education which will allow them to learn,among other things,about better farming techniques to increase crop yields and provide more food to eat and sell.Sachs argues that the_____45_____of providing every child in poverty with an anti-mosquito bed net is a major first step.Malaria(疟疾)is a huge cause of death in children and the bed nets massively_____46_____infections.The fewer children that die of malaria,the more secure parents feel about their children surviving.The more secure parents feel,the fewer children they have,and so on,revising the_____47__trend just described.However,it is_____48_____a combination of measures at the same time that truly makes a difference:free school meals improve school attendance and health;supplying fertilisers to improve soil and better seeds provides even better harvests;basic health care and clean water supplies_____49_____more fatal diseases.These ideas are already being_____50_____implemented in over100African villages in underdeveloped regions.The cost of the proj ect is just$10per person per year,of which 50%comes from donors and the rest from a mixture of local and national governments and the villagers themselves.So if it's so_____51_____,why hasn't it been done before?What about all the aid that has been given to Africa and the underdeveloped countries of the world?Has it been lost to corruption(腐败)?Sachs argues that the real problem is not corruption,but the fact that rich governments have_____52_____such a lot,but actually given so little.They agreed to give 0.7%of national income in aid,but only five countries have met that_____53_____.He suggests current aid is$24billion per year,which translates as just ten dollars per person—not nearly enough to implement the_____54_____measures.So while Sachs sees an opportunity to end poverty forever,he also raises an _____55_____that this could be the last chance we have,'The longer we wait,the greater is the suffering and the larger the long-term costs?41.A.economist B.optimist C.expert

D.target54.A.restricted B.standardized C.requested bined55.A.alarm B.objection C.amount D.instanceSection BDirections:Read the following three passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)I'm in Marrakech,the heart of Morocco at the base of the Atlas Mountains,with my son, Sam.He's eight.We've come here with Mohamed,a friend who owns a store in our New York neighborhood.We're regular customers at Mohamed's store,where Sam can often be found negotiating with his friend.When they're not bargaining,they're chatting about swords,or camels,or the desert."You need to come to Marrakech,"Mohamed told me.I'll show you around and teach Sam how to really get a bargain!”So here we are.We meet up with Mohamed over a cup of tea at a table outside the tiny Cafe ben Youssef, deep in the old city of Marrakech.We're sitting in an area bordering the stalls of the marketplace.Vendors(小贩)with carts offer freshly squeezed orange juice,others sell dates or figs.Nearby are the workshops that supply the goods to this world-famous market.Later,as we walk around,Mohamed begins the first of his bargaining tutorials for Sam. "Everything in Morocco is open negotiation,Sam.When you hear a price,the first thing you say is'Too much一bezqf and then walk away.""But what if I like it?"“When you see something you like,maybe a lamp,you ask about something else instead. Then,as you walk out,you ask,"And how much is that lamp?9as though you5d just noticed it and aren't really that interested in it."We turn a comer and are greeted with sweet-smelling orange blossoms."Don't always give an offer.Make them continue to lower the price.Oh,and wear something Moroccan:Mohamed continues,as we enter a fairly large shop.Most of the stalls in Marrakech specialize in one thing,but not this one.Decorative and lethal-looking swords hang beside soft hand-dyed fabrics;large camel bones covered in writing sit beside massive copper lamps. It is here that Sam spots a box.“Look,a treasure chest!”It's made of wood,and painted red and gold.He opens the lid,then closes it.“Cool."Then he spots a tall,cobalt blue,tear-shapedold perfume bottle."Four hundred dirham,”the shopkeeper pronounces.Fifty dollars.Sam says nothing.Whether he's too shy or is practicing Mohamed's bargaining technique,I can't tell.He eventually agrees to pay200dirham,about$24.rd say the bottle is worth$10,at most. Clearly,his negotiating skills need a little work."Just to get started,Dad,”Sam measures me as he pays for the bottle.56.According to Mohamed,people in Marrakech like__________.A.bargainingB.tradingC.drinking teaD.showing friends around57.What does Mohamed advise Sam to do when he finds something he likes?A.To look for something similar in another shop.B.To complain to the vendor about its high price.C.To conceal his real preference from the vendor.D.To ask the vendor about the price as soon as possible.58.What does the writer imply about Sam's first negotiating experience?A.It is far from successful.B.It costs Sam more than the money he pays.C.It reveals Sam's potential in negotiation.D.It shows that Sam is too shy for negotiation.59.Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A.A Shopping Trip.B.The Charm of the MarketC.A Busy City.D.The Art of the Deal(B)The Man Who Ate his Boots is a fascinating account of expeditions that went wrong.The book examines the19th century search for a route to Asia by way of the Northwest Passage through the Arctic Ocean.Author Anthony Brandt describes the many attempts by both land and sea that ended in failure and tragedy,including the1845expedition led by Sir John Franklin.Brandt shows how these brave,yet sometimes foolish,explorers could have avoided starvation,frostbite,and even death if they had copied the survival techniques of the local Inuit people.Some of the more surprising details the book reveals include:IGLOOS The explorers,despite repeatedly watching the Inuit build igloos,insisted on using canvas tents.Tents freeze in sub-zero temperatures and give little protection to anyone inside them.If they had learned to build igloos,the explorers would have been warm even in the worst Arctic weather.SEALSKIN If the explorers had worn sealskin and furs like the Inuit,they wouldn't have suffered from the frostbite that was common among them,but rare among the Inuit.DOG TEAMS Why didn't the British use dog teams to pull their sleds?Pulling sleds themselves was a tradition among many explorers right into the early20th century It cost Scott and his men their lives on their return from the South Pole in1912.The British did get something right,however,when Captain Edward Parry grew salad vegetables in boxes on board his ship.It was known that fresh vegetables and fresh meat prevented scurvy(坏血病),although at that time the reason for this(vitamin C)had not been discovered.Parry's men wouldn't have been as healthy if they hadn't eaten the salads.60.In The Man Who Ate his Boots’the author mainly________.A.introduces some foolish explorersB.focuses on some unsuccessful expeditionsC.analyzes the Inuit people's survival techniquesD.explores the advances in equipment used for expeditions61.According to Anthony Brandt,what should the explorers have done?A.They should have learned more about how seals survived in cold water.B.They should have set up more canvas tents to keep themselves warm.C.They should have helped the Inuit people build igloos.D.They should have used dogs to pull the sleds for them.62.It can be inferred from the passage that________.A.Edward Parry found a way to prevent scurvy by accidentB.Edward Parry's successful voyage was a rare case at that timeC.Edward Parry was the first captain that grew salad vegetables on boardD.Edward Parry's men could have been more healthy if they took vitamin C(C)Everything we know suggests that the universe is unusual.It is flatter,smoother,larger and emptier than a"typical"universe predicted by the known laws of physics if we reached into a hat filled with pieces of paper,each with the specifications of a possible universe written on it,it is unlikely that we would get a universe anything like ours in one pick—or even a billion.The challenge that cosmologists face is to make sense of this specialness.One approach to this question is inflation―the hypothesis(假设)that the early universe went through a stage of fast expansion.At first,inflation seemed to do the trick.A simple version of the idea gave correct predictions for the spectrum of fluctuations in the cosmic microwave background.But a closer look shows that we have just moved the problem further back in time.To make inflation happen at all requires us to fine-tune the initial conditions of the universe.And unless inflation is highly tuned,it leads to a runaway process of universe creation.As a result, some cosmologists(宇宙学家)suggest that there is not one universe,but an infinite number, with a huge variety of properties:the multiverse.There are an infinite number of universes in the collection that are like our universe and an infinite number that are not.But the proportion of infinity to infinity is undefined,and can be made into anything the theorist wants.Thus the multiverse theory has difficulty making any firm predictions and threatens to take us out of the area of science.These other universes are unobservable and because chance dictates the random distribution of properties across universes,suggesting the existence of a multiverse does not let us get to anything about our universe beyond what we already know.As attractive as the idea may seem,it is basically a sleight of hand,which turns an explanatory failure into an apparent explanatory success.The success is empty because anything that might be observed about our universe could be explained as something that must,by chance,happen somewhere in the multiverse.We started out trying to explain why the universe is so special,and we end up being asked to believe that our universe is one of an infinite number of universes with random properties.This makes me suspect that there is a basic but unexamined assumption about the laws of nature that must be overturned.Cosmology has new questions to answer.Not just what are the laws,but why are theselaws the laws?How were they chosen?We can't just hypothesise what the initial conditions were at the big bang,we need to explain those initial conditions.Thus we are in the position of a computer program asked to explain its inputs.It is clear that if we are to get anywhere, we need to invent new methods,and perhaps new kinds of laws,to gain a scientific description of the universe as a whole.63.According to the passage,which of the

news channels and websites.E.This is the kind of thing many people might do privately when they get together with colleagues after work.F.As a result,what was private suddenly became public.Silly Mistakes Hit the HeadlinesWe have probably all had moments when we said the wrong thing.I certainly have. There was the time at university when I met a friend in a coffee bar after class and immediately started complaining about our tutor,who was called Dr Gray.I was going on and on about how miserable she was一strict,boring,unfriendly—and my friend wasn't really saying much.After a minute or so,she interrupted me and said,'Um,I think I should introduce you'.She then turned to this other student who I hadn't really noticed up till then and said,"This is Tracy.Tracy Gray'!Fortunately,the result of putting my foot in it was only an awkward moment and a stony silence.Maybe my friends thought a little less of me,maybe they thought I was an idiot,but no real harm was done.__________67__________Take Gerald Ratner.He was the multimillionaire owner of a chain of shops that sold cheap jewellery.In what was supposed to be a light-hearted speech to some fellow businessmen,he joked about the quality of some of his products.He said some earrings were 'cheaper than a sandwich,but probably wouldn't last as long'.Other products could be sold at such low prices because they were rubbish.__________68__________Ratner had to resign as director and shortly afterwards the company was taken over by a competitor.In some ways,Ratner could be seen as unfortunate in that he was in a semi-private meeting with friends and colleagues he was at ease with,but there happened to be a journalist there.__________69__________And with the rise of social media,there have been plenty of others who have been caught out by the increasingly vague boundaries between our private and public faces.For example,a group of flight attendants made jokes about the engines on their planes failing and complained about their airline and clients(客户).__________70__________Unfortunately,they did it publicly on Facebook and it led tothirteen of them being fired.IV.Summary WritingDirections:Read the following passage.Summarize in no more than60words the main idea and the main point(s)of the e your own words as far as possible.Cities in the SeaThey may be small,but they build big things!Coral polyps(珊瑚虫),which live in the warm,shallow parts of the Earth's oceans,are probably the biggest builders on the planet. Coral polyps turn calcium from seawater into a hard material called limestone.Slowly,they build up a hard skeleton(骨架)around their bodies.When polyps die,their skeletons remain. Young polyps attach themselves to the old skeletons and make new skeletons.Over time, weird and wonderful shapes are slowly built up into amazing coral reefs(珊瑚礁).Scientists sometimes think of coral reefs as underwater cities.A quarter of all known marine species live in reef habitats―there are nearly a thousand coral species.Reefs are also home to millions of sea creatures,like fish,crabs,turtles,and sharks.Humans don't live in coral reef cities,but we benefit from them.Reefs create jobs for people in the fishing industry and other related businesses.Coral reefs are also popular for divers一many countries benefit from the tourists that they stly,chemicals from reef creatures help scientists create new medicines,which help doctors treat different illnesses.Coral reefs are very important,yet we don't take good care of them.Environmental problems have already killed about twenty percent of the world's reefs.About half of the remaining reefs are dying,and experts believe all of Earth's coral reefs will be in danger by 2050.Why are the reefs in such trouble?For one thing,people catch too many reef fish and often damage the reefs—divers sometimes break off pieces of coral.Polluted water also causes problems because reef-destroying algae grows in dirty water.Even air pollution hurts coral reefs.Global warming causes warmer ocean water,which can cause polyps to lose helpful algae.Without that algae,coral turns white.This is called"bleaching”,and if it continues,the coral dies.V.TranslationDirections:Translate the following sentences into English,using the words given in the brackets.72.不努力一把,怎么知道人生会不会有更多的可能?(If)73.过去的三年里,这个曾经无人问津的小村庄吸引了大量游客。

绿水青山就是金山银山英语四级作文全文共10篇示例,供读者参考篇1Title: Green Waters and Green Mountains are truly worth more than mountains of gold and silverHi everyone! Today, I want to talk to you about how important it is to protect our environment. We all know that our planet is facing a lot of problems right now, like pollution and deforestation. But do you know that by taking care of our green waters and green mountains, we are actually protecting something more precious than gold and silver?When we talk about "green waters and green mountains", we are referring to the beautiful natural landscapes that we have around us. These include the forests, rivers, lakes, and oceans that make our world so breathtakingly beautiful. Without them, our planet would be a dull and lifeless place.But why are they more valuable than mountains of gold and silver? Well, first of all, they provide us with clean air to breathe and fresh water to drink. Without these basic necessities, we wouldn't be able to survive. Secondly, they are home tocountless species of plants and animals, many of which are endangered. By protecting these habitats, we are also protecting the biodiversity of our planet.In addition, the green waters and green mountains also provide us with resources like food, medicine, and timber. These resources are essential for our survival, and without them, our lives would be much harder. So, by protecting these natural landscapes, we are also ensuring our own well-being.Moreover, these beautiful landscapes also have a positive impact on our mental health. Have you ever felt calm and peaceful when you are surrounded by nature? That's because being in nature has a soothing effect on our minds. It helps us to relax, de-stress, and recharge our batteries. So, by protecting our green waters and green mountains, we are also looking after our mental well-being.In conclusion, it is clear that green waters and green mountains are truly worth more than mountains of gold and silver. They are essential for our survival, our well-being, and our happiness. So let's all do our part to protect and preserve these precious natural landscapes for ourselves and for future generations. Remember, a healthy planet means a healthy future for all of us. Thank you for listening!篇2Green mountains and clear waters are like gold and silver. Hey everyone, do you know that protecting the environment is super important? Let me tell you more about it!First of all, green mountains and clear waters are essential for us to live happily. Imagine if all the trees are cut down and the rivers are polluted, where would we get fresh air and clean water? We need to protect our environment so that we can continue to enjoy the beauty of nature.Secondly, green mountains and clear waters are also important for animals and plants. If we don't protect our environment, many animals and plants will lose their homes and some may even become extinct. We need to take care of nature so that all living things can thrive.Lastly, green mountains and clear waters are like treasures that we should cherish. They provide us with resources like wood, water, and fresh air. If we don't protect our environment, we will lose these valuable resources and it will be difficult for us to live comfortably.In conclusion, green mountains and clear waters are precious and we should do our best to protect them. Let's allwork together to keep our environment clean and beautiful. Remember, green mountains and clear waters are not just beautiful scenery, they are our lifelines. Let's cherish them and protect them for future generations. Thank you for listening!篇3Title: Green waters and lush mountains are more valuable than gold and silverHey guys, do you know what is the most important thing in the world? Some people might say money, some might say fame, but I think it's actually the green waters and lush mountains! In English, we call it "Green waters and lush mountains are more valuable than gold and silver".First of all, what are green waters and lush mountains? Green waters refer to clean rivers, lakes, and oceans. It's important to keep our waters clean so that fish and other animals can live in a healthy environment. Lush mountains, on the other hand, are full of trees, plants, and wildlife. These mountains provide us with fresh air, clean water, and a beautiful natural landscape to enjoy.Green waters and lush mountains are more valuable than gold and silver because they provide us with so many important things. For example, clean water is essential for our survival. Weneed water to drink, to wash, and to grow our food. Without clean water, we wouldn't be able to live healthy lives. Lush mountains also play a crucial role in our ecosystem. They help regulate the climate, prevent soil erosion, and provide habitats for many different species of plants and animals.Unfortunately, many people don't realize the importance of protecting our green waters and lush mountains. They cut down trees, pollute the waters, and destroy natural habitats without thinking about the consequences. But if we continue to neglect our environment, we will suffer the consequences in the long run.In conclusion, green waters and lush mountains are more valuable than gold and silver because they provide us with essential resources for our survival. We must all do our part to protect and preserve our natural environment for future generations. Remember, a healthy planet is priceless!篇4Once upon a time, there was a beautiful land full of green mountains and clear waters. People called it the "Golden Mountain and Silver Mountain". The land was also known as the "Treasure of Nature".The animals living in this land were happy and healthy. The trees were tall and lush, providing homes for birds and shade for people to rest. The rivers were clean and clear, flowing smoothly and bringing life to all living creatures. The air was fresh and pure, making everyone feel refreshed and energized.But one day, some people came to the land and started cutting down the trees, polluting the rivers, and ruining the air. The once beautiful land started to lose its charm and became a place full of dust and smog. The animals lost their homes, and the people got sick from the polluted air and water.The elders of the land gathered together and decided to protect their home. They launched campaigns to educate people about the importance of protecting the environment. They planted more trees, cleaned up the rivers, and reduced pollution. Slowly but surely, the land started to recover its beauty.Now, the land is once again full of green mountains and clear waters. The animals are happy, and the people are healthy. The land is no longer known as the "Golden Mountain and Silver Mountain", but as the "Green Water and Green Mountains". It is a place where nature and people live in harmony, where everyone can enjoy the beauty and bounty of the land.So remember, my friends, that "Green Water and Green Mountains" are the real treasures of the world. Let's protect our environment and keep our land beautiful for generations to come.篇5Once upon a time, there was a beautiful land filled with lush green mountains and clear blue waters. This land was not only rich in natural resources but also teeming with diverse wildlife. The people who lived in this land cherished its beauty and worked hard to protect it for future generations.In school, we learned about the importance of preserving the environment. Our teacher told us that "green waters and green mountains are just like gold and silver mountains." This meant that the beauty of nature was just as valuable as precious metals. We were taught that if we took care of the environment, it would provide us with clean air, fresh water, and abundant resources.One day, we went on a field trip to a nearby river. As we stood by the bank, we could see the crystal-clear water reflecting the blue sky above. The trees along the river swayed gently in the breeze, and birds chirped happily in the branches. It was apeaceful and serene scene that reminded us of the importance of protecting our natural surroundings.Back in the classroom, we discussed ways we could help preserve the environment. We learned about recycling, reducing waste, and planting trees. We also talked about the impact of pollution on our land and water. We realized that if we didn't take care of our green waters and green mountains, they would be destroyed forever.As we grew older, we continued to advocate for environmental protection. We joined clean-up efforts, volunteered at nature reserves, and spread awareness about the importance of sustainability. We knew that by working together, we could ensure that our green waters and green mountains would remain for generations to come.In the end, we understood that the true value of our land was not measured in gold or silver, but in the beauty and bounty of nature. We vowed to always cherish and protect our green waters and green mountains, for they were truly the treasures of our world.篇6Once upon a time, there was a beautiful country with green mountains, clear waters, and blue skies. People called it the "Gold Mountain and Silver Mountain". But instead of gold and silver, this country valued its natural beauty - the green trees, the flowing rivers, and the fresh air.In this country, everyone lived in harmony with nature. They planted trees, protected animals, and kept the rivers clean. They understood that without the green mountains and blue waters, they wouldn't have anything precious like gold and silver.One day, a little boy named Timmy went on a school trip to the countryside. He was amazed by the beauty of nature - the colorful flowers, the chirping birds, and the gentle breeze. He picked up a piece of trash on the ground and threw it into the trash can. His teacher smiled and said, "Good job, Timmy! Taking care of our environment is just as important as taking care of ourselves."Timmy learned that day that the green mountains and blue waters were like treasures that needed to be protected and cherished. He vowed to always do his part in keeping his country clean and beautiful.And so, the country of the Green Mountains and Blue Waters continued to thrive, not because of gold and silver, but becauseof the love and care of its people. After all, as Timmy learned, "Green mountains and blue waters are worth more than all the gold and silver in the world."篇7Loving our earth is very important! We need to protect the green trees, clean water, and blue sky because they are just as valuable as gold and silver.Firstly, green trees are like gold because they provide us with oxygen. We need oxygen to breathe and stay alive! So, we should plant more trees and stop cutting them down. Trees also provide homes for birds and animals, so we need to protect them.Secondly, clean water is like silver because it is essential for our health. We use water for drinking, cooking, and cleaning. If we pollute the water, it will make us sick. So, we need to keep our rivers, lakes, and oceans clean. This means not dumping garbage in them and not using harmful chemicals.Finally, the blue sky is like treasure because it gives us fresh air to breathe. If the sky is polluted, we will have trouble breathing and our health will be affected. We can help keep thesky clean by reducing our carbon footprint. This means using less electricity, walking or biking instead of driving, and recycling.In conclusion, we should all work together to protect our environment. The green trees, clean water, and blue sky are precious resources that we must treasure. Remember, green is the new gold, clean water is the new silver, and clear skies are the real treasure! Let's all do our part to keep our planet healthy and beautiful. Thank you!篇8Once upon a time, there was a beautiful land called Green Waters and Blue Mountains. The people there loved their land very much because they believed that it was just as valuable as gold and silver.The rivers in Green Waters were crystal clear, and the mountains were covered with lush green trees. The air was fresh and clean, and the animals and plants thrived in this peaceful environment. The people of Green Waters knew that it was important to take care of their land so that it would remain beautiful for generations to come.They planted trees, protected the rivers, and picked up trash whenever they saw it. They also made sure to recycle and useresources wisely. They knew that by taking care of their land, they were also taking care of themselves.One day, a group of travelers came to Green Waters. They were amazed by the beauty of the land and the kindness of the people. They had never seen such a peaceful and clean place before.The travelers asked the people of Green Waters why they valued their land so much. The people explained that they believed that the green waters and blue mountains were just as valuable as gold and silver. They knew that their land provided them with clean water, fresh air, and a home for plants and animals.The travelers were inspired by the people of Green Waters. They realized that it was important to take care of the environment no matter where they lived. They promised to do their part to protect the land and spread the word about the importance of preserving nature.And so, the people of Green Waters and the travelers lived happily ever after, knowing that by taking care of their land, they were also taking care of themselves and future generations. Remember, Green Waters and Blue Mountains are just as valuable as gold and silver!篇9Title: The Beauty of Green Waters and Blue MountainsHello everyone! Today I want to talk about the importance of protecting our environment, especially the green waters and blue mountains. You know, in our English class, we often hear the saying "Green waters and blue mountains are as good as gold and silver". But what does it mean?First of all, green waters and blue mountains refer to clean rivers and lush mountains. They are essential for our survival because they provide us with fresh air, clean water, and a place to relax and enjoy nature. Without them, our world would be dull and lifeless.Secondly, green waters and blue mountains are also important for wildlife. Many animals and plants depend on these natural habitats for their survival. If we don't take care of our environment, many species could become extinct.Moreover, green waters and blue mountains are good for our health. Breathing fresh air and being surrounded by nature can help reduce stress and improve our mood. So, it's important to protect these precious resources for our own well-being.In conclusion, we should all do our part to protect the green waters and blue mountains. We can start by reducing waste, recycling, and using eco-friendly products. Let's work together to ensure a greener and more sustainable future for our planet.Thank you for listening! Remember, green waters and blue mountains are as valuable as gold and silver. Let's treasure them and keep our environment clean and beautiful.篇10Once upon a time, there was a beautiful country with green mountains and clean waters. The people who lived there loved nature and took care of the environment. They believed that "green mountains and clean waters are as valuable as mountains of gold and silver."The children in this country were taught from a young age to appreciate the beauty of nature and to protect it. They would go on field trips to forests and rivers, where they would learn about the different plants and animals that lived there. They would also participate in clean-up activities to help keep their surroundings clean and green.One day, a group of children went on a hike to a nearby mountain. As they climbed higher and higher, they could see thebreathtaking views of the green valleys and crystal-clear rivers below. They were amazed by the beauty of nature and felt grateful to live in such a wonderful place.When they reached the top of the mountain, they sat down to rest and take in the view. One of the children, named Lily, said, "I used to think that gold and silver were the most valuable things in the world. But now I realize that the green mountains and clean waters are even more precious. We must protect them for future generations to enjoy."The other children nodded in agreement. They made a promise to each other to always cherish and protect the environment. They knew that by taking care of the green mountains and clean waters, they were also taking care of their own future.And so, the children of the beautiful country continued to live in harmony with nature, knowing that "green mountains and clean waters are as valuable as mountains of gold and silver." They understood that true wealth lies in the beauty of the natural world, and that it is their responsibility to protect it at all costs. And they lived happily ever after, in a land where green mountains and clean waters were treasured above all else.。

2019年The Truth About the Green River KillerGary Ridgway should have been caught a long time ago. His choice ofvictims had everything to do with why he wasn't.In a calm voice and with an expressionless gaze, a bespectacled 54-year-old Washington State resident by the name of Gary Ridgway confessed to killing 48 women.To be accurate, Ridgway raped, choked, killed and discarded 48 women, including many teenagers as young as 15 years of age.Ridgway was a married man and a father, a white guy from Auburn, Washington who held the same job for 30 years——and who got away with killing one female after another for over 20 years.When the nation's worst captured serial killer finally began cooperating with authorities to reveal the locations of his victims, people in the Pacific Northwest breathed a collective sigh of relief. Finally, the notorious Green River Killer had been caught. And finally, the family members of the deceased could have some peace of mind, knowing that the nightmare, at least in one sense, was over.Detective work, diligence, and a decision on the part of the King County Prosecutor to spare Ridgway the death sentence in exchange for information are all being hailed as a job well done. Ridgway will never kill again.But the question remains: Why was he allowed to kill, again and again, when so much evidence had already pointed in his direction two decades ago?The answer, in great part, lies in Ridgway's own admission of who he preyed upon."I picked prostitutes as my victims because I hate most prostitutes and I did not want to pay them for sex," Ridgway said in his confessional statement. "I also picked prostitutes as victims because they were easy to pick up without being noticed. I knew they would not be reported missing right away and might never be reported missing. I picked prostitutes because I thought I could kill as many of them as I wanted without getting caught."At least one-third of Ridgway's female victims were girls and women of color, and the vast majority were under the age of 22. Ridgway, an extremeincarnation of a brutal misogynist, considered killing female prostitutes a "career." He felt proud of what he did, and thought he was damn good at it.In Ridgway's mind, he even believed that he was helping the police out, as he admitted in one interview with investigators."I thought I was doing you guys a favor, killing prostitutes," he said. "Here you guys can't control them, but I can."Prostitutes were an infestation, a sickly disease to which Ridgway thought he had the cure. So he "cured" young women of what he saw as their pathetic and undeserving lives. Not everyone he killed was a prostitute, but in his mind, they all deserved what they got.But like most street prostitutes, these were girls and young women with families. Some had drug and alcohol problems and yet stayed close to their parents, who tried to help them through. Some had boyfriends or even husbands who knew what they did for a living because of the dire economic circumstances of their lives.Street prostitution is one of the most dangerous ways for a woman to make a living, and it is also the method of making income that is the most judged and moralized against. Nevada's legalized brothels and emerging progressive feminist attitudes toward sex work aside, prostitutes continue be reviled.Attitudes toward prostitutes —— their very dehumanization —— underlies the Green River Killer case, and yet prostitutes are the aspect of this story that has been least discussed.Would Ridgway have been stopped in his tracks 20 or fifteen years ago if his female victims had had different class backgrounds, had not participatedin the street economy, been more "innocent" in the eyes of the law?In April 1983, the boyfriend of 16-year-old Kimi-Kai Pitsor told police that she had gotten into an older green Ford pickup truck, and he describedthe driver. Ridgway's girlfriend at the time owned an older, light-green Ford. (Four years later, Pitsor's boyfriend picked Ridgway's photo out of a montage.)Then, in May 1983, Marie Malvar, 18, disappeared after getting inRidgway's truck. Malvar's boyfriend actually took police to Ridgway's house four days later, and then identified the pickup he saw Malvar get into. When two detectives questioned Ridgway, he actually admitted to picking upprostitutes, but denied any contact with Malvar. Despite the eyewitness identification, the neighborly, upstanding Ridgway was left alone.Ridgway continued to have many close calls with police, evading andfooling officers and detectives all the while. Would Ridgway have been let go, time after time, had he been anything other than an "ordinary" looking middle-class white man who preyed on the vulnerable, the poor, and the powerless?In 1984, Rebecca Garde Guay actually came forward to police to say that she had been assaulted two years prior by a man who tried to kill her with a chokehold. Not only did Guay know Ridgway's place of employment (he had shown her an identification card), but she also picked him out of a book of photos. What's worse, Ridgway had the sheer gall to admit having "dated" Guay and even choking her.But by then, Guay no longer wanted to pursue charges. She became the only known survivor of the Green River Killer. Perhaps she was afraid of being hunted down, or perhaps she just knew that she wouldn't be believed. And in this way, Ridgway was allowed to return to his life, killing many dozens more young women along the way.Although Ridgway copped to 48 murders, he says it's possible he killed as many as 60 women and girls."In most cases when I killed these women I did not know their names," Ridgway stated. "Most of the time I killed them the first time I met them and I do not have a good memory of their faces. I killed so many women I have a hard time keeping them straight."To Ridgway, they were faceless, nameless females who wouldn't be missed.And in some ways, he was right. The victimization of prostitutes——a rampant phenomenon across the nation——occurs as frequently as it does because so few people do care, and because prostitutes themselves are soafraid to report the abuse.A 2001 report by the Coalition Against Trafficking in Women found that nearly 90 percent of prostitutes in the U.S. reported being physically abused by pimps and traffickers. And one-half of women in this study described frequent, sometimes daily assaults.To progressives, prostitutes are alternately viewed as victims in need of rescue and rehabilitation, or else as sex workers who have the right to decidetheir form of livelihood. The truth, it seems, lies somewhere in the middle——in allowing women to pursue their occupation of choice but recognizing that many prostitutes (especially street workers) have faced terrible abuse as children and teens, and need a hand to help them out of a life they've become trapped in.The decriminalization of prostitution would go a long way toward giving women more incentive to report suspicious behavior and violence by lessening their fear of arrest or poor treatment by police.But in our perversely moralistic nation——where skin and sexuality sell product, but skin and sex themselves cannot be for sale——prostitution isstill the dark secret in our midst.And prostitution, in turn, has become a lightning rod for society's collective hatred of women who "abandon" their families and their children; who fall from grace and descend into "degrading" behavior. Women who consciously choose to sell sex —— to get by, to get a fix, to pay rent, to feed a kid, or to even to go to school——are human beings whose existences we'd rather not deal with or see walking down our streets.As a society, we still see prostitution as an infestation to be kept under control. Words like "eradication" used in tandem with street prostitution are not uncommon in law enforcement lingo, as if the women selling their bodies are no better than vermin.Ridgway saw these women and wanted them dead.If we are not willing to consider how and why a man like Ridgway can come to exist and commit his crimes for years on end, we haven't even begun to dig deeply enough into the dark core at the root of this kind of hatred.Perhaps Nancy Gabbert, the mother of 17-year-old Ridgway victim Sandra, said it best."Fifty years ago, Gary Ridgway was a little baby," Gabbert told the Seattle Post-Intelligencer while explaining her opposition to the death penalty for her daughter's killer. "He's not some monster who was dropped down from another planet. He was created right here in our society.""How did we do this?" she asked.She deserves a real answer.。
