One-Way Signature Chaining- A New Paradigm For Group

我和孙悟空在游戏里玩一天英语作文全文共3篇示例，供读者参考篇1A Day Playing with Sun Wukong in a Video GameYesterday was honestly one of the coolest days ever! I got to spend the whole day playing this awesome new video game where you team up with Sun Wukong, the legendary Monkey King from the classic Chinese novel Journey to the West. It was just so rad getting to adventure around with such an iconic character from one of the great stories of ancient Chinese literature.The game is this open-world action role-playing game set in a stunningly rendered version of the fantasy world from the original Journey to the West tale. The graphics and art style are just mind-blowingly good, with these lush, vibrant landscapes and amazingly detailed character models. Sun Wukong himself looks perfect, with his iconic cloud-traversing somersault pose and his signature mighty cudgel weapon.The game starts out with you creating your own customized hero character. I made mine look like a tough warrior monk,because I thought that would be a fitting sidekick to the one and only Monkey King himself. The opening cinematics did such a brilliant job setting the stage, showing the the villainous demons causing chaos across the lands and the heroic priest Xuanzang calling upon Sun Wukong's aid for a new quest to again bring peace to the realm.From there, the journey begins! Xuanzang gets captured by the demon forces, leaving you alone with Sun Wukong. He's initially reluctant to let you tag along, making some funny quips about how he doesn't need a puny human's help. But eventually he warms up to you when he sees you can handle yourself in combat against the first waves of minor demon enemies.The gameplay itself is an absolute blast, combining super tight and satisfying combat mechanics with addictive RPG leveling and character progression systems. The hand-to-hand martial arts combat is particularly awesome, letting you pull off these intricate combo strings inspired by traditional Kung Fu styles. And of course, Sun Wukong's moves and abilities are just insanely overpowered in the best way possible.He can summon clones of himself, freeze enemies in place, and perform these screen-clearing whirlwind attacks that send demons ragdolling every which way. My favorite is when hetransforms into his powerful Buddha-subduing form and goes into a fully unstoppable beast mode. Humorously, he'll often comically complain or boast about various things while laying waste to the enemy hordes.Beyond just the combat, the game has you exploring this richly detailed open world full of hidden secrets to uncover. There are villages to help and side quests to undertake for generous rewards. The traversal is also crazy fun, giving you the ability to sprint across water, cloud-surf through the air, and scale nearly any surface just like Sun Wukong can in the classic stories.My most memorable moment from yesterday's session was definitely this extended sequence where Sun Wukong and I infiltrated the main demon kingdom's capital city. We had to cause a distraction by initiating a street brawl, which then led to this epic running battle where were hurtling across rooftops, through palaces, and finally facing off against the big bad demon king himself in his throne room.The boss fight was absolutely bonkers, with the demon king shape-shifting into all these crazy forms that we had to counter with precisely timed combos and ultimate abilities. Just when we thought we had him beat, he morphed into this gargantuan,skyscraper-sized demon tyrant form that filled the entire horizon. Sun Wukong just laughed and shouted something cocky about having beaten bigger bullies than this joker in the past.From there, we entered this frantic, multi-stage kaiju battle that was just pure, heightened spectacle unlike anything I've ever experienced in a game before. We were shrinking to microscopic size to fight him at a cellular level, jumping into his body via a mystical portal to fight bio-organic versions of his organs, and finally growing to match his massive size for a titanic final brawl that stretched across the entire capital kingdom.Naturally, the Monkey King emerged victorious in the end, bringing the fiendish demon ruler to his knees with a series of thunderous blows. As the demon king laid defeated and the perpetual dark clouds overheard parted to reveal a brilliant dawn, Sun Wukong turned to me with a wry smile and clever remark about how he could never say no to a worthy battle.I honestly cannot overstate how much pure fun I had with this game yesterday. Not only is it just an endlessly engaging, lovingly crafted adventure, but it also does such a fantastic job bringing the classic Journey to the West story to life in vivid, contemporary way. I learned so much about that iconic piece of Chinese literature and mythology through the natural process ofplaying through the game's epic narrative and discovering little pieces of lore and historical context along the way.I genuinely came away from the experience with not only a much better understanding of the cultural significance of the Monkey King folktales, but also a real sense of appreciation for just how imaginative and progressively philosophical those ancient stories were in their celebration of heroic perseverance, irreverent wisdom, and cerebral enlightenment through righteous campaigning.On a more personal, emotional level, I also formed a real sense of kinship and camaraderie with Sun Wukong's character over the course of our digital adventure together. For all of his flashy bravado and comic arrogance, he revealed poignant depths of loyalty, humility, and noble purpose in his actions and the brief snippets of introspective dialogue he would occasionally offer amidst the high-flying martial arts mayhem.I found his zeal for rambunctious glorious combat only superseded by his dedication to fighting for a cause greater than himself. Namely, protecting the common people and fully realizing his own Enlightened Buddha-nature in pursuit of that goal. There was something incredibly inspiring about thatcharacterization as a role model for cultivating one's own inner fortitude and strength of character.I guess that's why the Journey to the West tales have endured for so many centuries as beloved cultural touchstones - they impart timeless wisdom and moral messaging through the universally appealing lens of daring swashbuckling adventure. Or, at least, that's my big takeaway after being so engrossed in this video game's authentic retelling of that legendary story.Needless to say, I already can't wait to delve back into this game's virtual world to continue experiencing more of its thrilling storyline and rewarding gameplay loop. Having Sun Wukong as my wise-cracking spirit guide and ally only amplifies my enthusiasm. If today was any indication, the rest of this journey to the West is shaping up to be one epic ride full of raucous monster bashing, deep philosophizing, and above all else - an unforgettable bonding experience between a mischievous monkey and me.篇2A Day of Adventure with the Monkey KingIf someone had told me last week that I'd be spending a day adventuring through an ancient world with the one and onlyMonkey King, I would have laughed in their face. Sun Wukong, the legendary trickster from the classic Chinese novel Journey to the West, was just a fictional character - or so I thought. Little did I know, my entire perception of reality was about to be shattered when I booted up the newest virtual reality game "Odyssey of the Immortals."As soon as the VR headset was secured over my eyes, I was transported to a breathtaking world straight out of mythological China. Towering peaks scraped the heavens while wispy clouds twisted between jagged rocky outcrops. Waterfalls thundered down mossy cliffs into bamboo thickets teeming with exotic wildlife. I had to pinch myself to make sure this wasn't an extremely vivid dream.That's when he appeared - a whirlwind of fur and mayhem incarnate. The infamous Monkey King landed before me with a ground-shaking thud, his golden crown and battle staff gleaming in the sunlight. Those unruly eyebrows and mischievous grin were unmistakable."You must be the kid they asked me to babysit," he snorted, studying me with disdain. "Don't slow me down, puny human."And just like that, we were off on an epic journey filled with peril, monsters, and more than a few arguments. Wukong maybe a powerful demigod, but his overconfident attitude and lack of patience quickly tried my nerves. We bickered like an old married couple - he thought my combat skills were pathetic, and I shot back that his plans were reckless and half-baked. Still, I had to grudgingly admit the Monkey King knew how to fight, smoothly chaining together flurries of staff strikes andgravity-defying martial arts.Our first major challenge was navigating the treacherous Cloud Canyon, where one misstep could send you plummeting into the churning river rapids far below. Wukong made it look easy, effortlessly leaping from pinnacle to pinnacle using his signature cloud-somersault move. For a mere human like me, it was a sweaty palm-inducing trek across decrepit rope bridges and crumbling stalagtites. The wise-cracking primate wasn't afraid to poke fun at my pitiful climbing abilities either."You move like a drunken sloth! At this rate, we'll be old and grey before reaching the other side," Wukong taunted as I desperately clung to a rock face.Thanks to Wukong's guidance (and more than a few literal kicks in the rear), I eventually cleared the harrowing canyon. Though our banter was constant, I could slowly feel us developing a grudging respect and even camaraderie. We bothloved a good fight against overwhelming odds, and there were plenty of those to be had.Hordes of vengeful rock monsters, packs of razor-toothed demon wolves, and malevolent nature spirits fell before our strength. While the Monkey King was virtually unstoppable with his celestial powers, I more than pulled my weight with some crafty magic and well-timed strikes. We became a deadly duo, complementing each other's strengths and covering weaknesses. Foes who thought they could separate and pick us off quickly regretted underestimating our teamwork.The high point was definitely our battle against the nefarious Black Wind Crone, an ancient evil bent on shrouding the lands in perpetual darkness. This vile hag commanded a small army of animated skeletons and desiccated corpses - perfect cannon fodder for the two of us. What seemed like an overwhelming horde was steadily whittled down by Wukong's thunderous attacks and my precise spellcasting.When we finally faced the witch herself in her shadowy lair, it was an epic clash for the ages. Blades of inky darkness slashed from her willowy fingers as she hurled devastating curses. The Monkey King met her onslaught head-on, deflecting hexes with whirling revolutions of his legendary staff. I kept the pressure onfrom the rear with arcing fireballs and mystic bolts of eldritch force.Though clearly outmatched, the Black Wind Crone refused to stay down, her hatred fueling her undying persistence. It took everything we had to finally subdue the vile spellcaster. Wukong and I stood battered but victorious, our souls forged even stronger through the crucible of battle.Our journey wasn't without its emotional peaks and valleys either. When facing a village beset by a horde of rahyns (vicious oxen demons), Wukong initially scoffed at my suggestion of helping the peasants. Being Sun Wukong, he only cared about seeking out greater challenges to test his might. It took me shaming him about abandoning the innocent to stir his nobler side - underneath that gruff exterior, he was still a protector at heart. After we saved the village from destruction, the peoples' humble gratitude and generosity helped soften the Monkey King's calloused attitude.As our adventure wound down, I realized this videogame had transcended mere entertainment. Experiencing Wukong's brash personality, unshakable confidence, and hidden wisdom firsthand was something truly special and enlightening. This larger-than-life character had become so much more than just avirtual companion - he had become a friend, mentor, and partner I would never forget.In the end, we parted ways as comrades-in-arms with a newfound level of respect and understanding between us. The Monkey King cloaked me in a bear hug (which nearly shattered my ribs) and imparted some trademark crass words of wisdom with a wink."You've got potential, kid. Keep training hard and telling me hilarious jokes, and you might just become a decent fighter someday." With that, the legendary prankster ruffled my hair and leapt away in a burst of clouds, off to what other chaos and adventures awaited.As for me, I removed the VR headset and blinked in the sudden bright sunlight. I was just an average kid again, back in the real world after spending a wholly extraordinary day with the Great Sage Equal to Heaven. While just a videogame, everything had felt so authentic and meaningful - the triumphs, the struggles, the inside jokes, and the growth of our bond. I knew deep down those shared experiences would stay with me for life.And who knows? If a certain mischievous simian blows back into town, maybe we'll team up again for another thrilling odyssey across the digital realms. I'll be ready this time withtwice the wisecracks and martial skills to put that furry showoff in his place. The real adventure has only just begun.篇3A Day Playing with Sun Wukong in a Video GameWhoa, let me tell you about this crazy day I just had! You're never going to believe who I got to hang out with. Are you ready for this? The one and only Sun Wukong, the Monkey King himself! Yeah, I'm totally not kidding. The legendary troublemaker from the classic Chinese novel Journey to the West was my gaming buddy for the day. How crazy is that?It all started when I fired up this awesome new open-world adventure game I just got called "Realm of the Immortals." The graphics were insane, with these beautifully rendered ancient Chinese landscapes. As soon as I created my character, a plucky young monk, I found myself smack dab in the middle of a dense bamboo forest. I was just getting my bearings when suddenly this crazy monkey creature came swinging down from the trees!At first I was kind of freaked out, but then I realized this wasn't just any old monkey. With that signature cudgel in his hand and that infamous mischievous grin, I knew right away it was the legendary Sun Wukong himself! He introduced himselfwith a boisterous laugh and said, "What's up, kid? You're in my realm now!"From that moment on, Sun Wukong became my guide and partner on this epic journey across the game world's vast realm. And let me tell you, that monkey did not make it easy! He's every bit as tricky and unpredictable as the stories say. One minute he was cracking jokes and doing backflips, the next he'd lead me straight into danger with a gang of enemy monsters or demons!Our very first mission together was to track down and defeat the Demon Lord Erlang, who had imprisoned a village of innocent people. Sun Wukong led the way as we crossed treacherous valleys, climbed misty mountain peaks, and hacked our way through hordes of evil henchmen. I have to admit, I wasn't always the bravest sidekick. Whenever we'd run into a gang of axe-wielding ogres or a deadly three-headed serpent monster, I'd want to turn and run. But the Monkey King would just let out one of his signature thunderous laughs and charge right in, whacking everything in sight with his huge stick.Despite all the crazy antics, Sun Wukong was actually an amazing fighter to have on your side. His moves were lightning fast, and he could summon intense fire blasts and tornado winds to wipe out enemies. He literally danced circles around thebiggest, baddest monsters, confounding them with mischievous trickery until I had an opening to attack. I've never seen martial arts skills quite like his.Eventually, after an epic battle that leveled an entire valley, we managed to take down Erlang and free the villagers he had imprisoned. As the grateful people threw a celebration in our honor, Sun Wukong stuck around just long enough to pull a few pranks before disappearing in a cloud of smoke, no doubt off to stir up more trouble elsewhere.That set the pattern for the rest of my adventures that day. No matter where I went or what mission I took on, Sun Wukong would eventually reappear to both aid and frustrate me. Whether it was stopping a cult from summoning an ancient evil dragon, foiling a nefarious emperor's plot against the gods, or hunting down pieces of a legendary magic staff, that crazy monkey was never far away.He got me into so many ridiculous situations, I honestly don't know where to start. Like when he "accidentally" kicked me off the side of a cliff because he thought it would be funny to see if I could fly. Or that time he convinced me to mischievously put an itching powder bomb in a grumpy old hermit's laundry justfor kicks. I still have nightmares about the tongue-lashing I got from that old coot!But as annoying as Sun Wukong could be with his pranks and impulsive decision-making, he was also a wildly fun and loyal friend to have at your side during our adventures. He always had my back when it counted, and showed me skills I never could have learned from anyone else. His mastery of martial arts was just the beginning - he also taught me how to cloud-jump, shapeshift, and even clone myself using celestial powers.By the end of our time together, I felt like I had gone from a total newbie monk to a legit student of the profound and cosmic arts. Sure, most of those skills will probably be useless back in the real world. But while I was living inside that game, traversing those vibrant ancient realms alongside the one and only Monkey King, I genuinely felt like I was learning the ways of an immortal hero.I'll never forgot our final showdown against the Big Bad, the malevolent Bull Demon King who was plotting to conquer all of heaven and earth. After weeks of collecting sacred artifacts and special spirit gems, Sun Wukong and I were finally ready to makeour attack on the demon's lair, an ominous volcano fortress guarded by an army of red-eyed demonic soldiers.The ensuing battle was hands-down the biggest, wildest, most over-the-top thing I've ever witnessed in a video game. Meteors were dropping from the sky. The ground was literaly splitting open with rivers of lava. At one point, Sun Wukong had to transform into his signature xingzhe form (you know, that buff, flaming immortal version of himself) to go toe-to-toe with the Bull King while I fought off his minions.When it looked like the demon might actually overpower my friend, I somehow managed to tap into the celestial powers Wukong had taught me and created a trio of mystical monkey clones to turn the tide. Together, along with Sun Wukong's xingzhe form, we finally wore the Bull Demon King down until he collapsed in a burst of dark energy. Watching his volcanic fortress crumble into ruin while a shower of spirit gems rained down upon us, I had never felt more like a million bucks!As the dust settled and the heavens shone brightly, Sun Wukong reverted to his normal cheeky monkey form and clapped me hard on the back, "Not bad for a newbie monk, eh kid? You've learned a lot on this journey thanks to me!" Then helet out one of his trademark laughs that seemed to shake the whole mountainside.I don't think I'll ever forget the incredible adventures I had that day, running around with the one and only Monkey King as we got into crazy antics and epic battles across an amazingly realized game world. Sure, he may have ben a total prankster who mercilessly teased me and got me into so much trouble. But Sun Wukong was also a loyal friend, an awesome teacher, and an all-around one-of-a-kind gaming buddy. Part of me even wishes he could follow me back out into the real world - but somehow I have a feeling that him being set loose hardly be a good thing!Anyway, that's my bizarre tale of spending a day playing in a video game with the legendary Sun Wukong, the mischievous Monkey King himself. Hopefully my story gave you a bit of insight into what it might be like to hang out with that iconic troublemaker from Chinese mythology and literature. Just make sure you watch your back if you ever encounter him yourself. He's liable to lead you on one wild and rambunctious ride!。

But as a honey bee researcher, I have to tell you that only the first item on that list is reasonable. Although they are important for agriculture, honey bees also damage natural ecosystems by competing with native bees — some of which are species at risk.The rise in hobby beekeeping as a hobby, now a popular activity for hundreds of thousands of Americans, followed strong awareness campaigns to “save the bees.” But as a species, honey bees are least in need of saving. Media attention unfairly covers them over native bees, and vaguemessaging has led many citizens — myself once included — to believe they are doing a good thing for the environment by putting on a beekeeper’s facemask. Unfortunately, they are probably doing more harm than good.“Beekeeping is for people; it’s not a conservation practice,” says Sheila Colla, an assistant profe ssor and conservation biologist at Toronto’s York University, Canada. “People mistakenly think keeping honey bees, or helping honey bees, is somehow helping the native bees, which are at risk of extinction.” She is frustrated at the improper attention on s aving honey bees when, from a conservationist’s point of view, native bees are the ones in more need of support.For some reason, maybe because they are small, honey bees are not generally viewed as the massively distributed livestock (牲畜) animal that they are. There are millions of honey bee colonies in North America, 2.8 million of which are in the U. S. Approximating around 30,000 bees per colony, that’s roughly a billion honey bees in Canada and the U.S. alone — almost three times the number of people. High densities of honey bee colonies increase competition between native bees, putting even more pressure on the wild species that are already in decline.I used to believe that honey bees were a gateway species, and that concern over their health and development would spill over onto native bees, benefitting them, too. While this may have happened in some cases, evidence is increasing that misguided enthusiasm for honey bees has likely been to the native bees’ damage. Beekeeping doesn’t make me feel good, anymore. In fact, quite the opposite.24. What contributes to the popularity of beekeeping in America?A．It is easy to keep honey bees at home than native bees.B．Lots of TV shows advertise the benefits of honey bees.C．Beekeeping can improve the local agriculture productivity.D．Some activities have encouraged people to protect the bees.25. What is Colla’s opinion on beekeeping?A．Beekeeping can help the owner earn a great sum of money.B．People hold wrong ideas about the benefits of beekeeping.C．Beekeeping can protect native bees from extinction.D．Beekeeping is good for the natural environment.26. Why does the author mention the number of honey bees in paragraph 4?A．To clarify that honey bees are small in size.B．To show that native bees are in danger of extinction.C．To prove a misconception of honey bee populations.D．To confirm North America as the major honey bee habitat.27. What do the underlined words “a gateway species” probably mean?A．A common species. B．A beneficial species.C．A damaging species. D．An endangered species.12 months before Sydney’s 2000 Olympic Games, Eric Moussambani had never set foot outside of his home country in Africa, the tiny nation of Equatorial Guinea where most citizens get by on less than one dollar a day.Having secured his entry into the Games with the help of a wild card (非正常参赛资格), Moussambani set about teaching himself to swim. The only pool available belonged to a local hotel, and they allowed him to use it between 5 and 6 a.m., just three times a week. Before Sydney, he had never set eyes on an Olympic pool, let alone swum in one.Moussambani had no coach, no lanes, and no way of tracking his efforts. His training was further disturbed by a communication breakdown that led him to believe he had been entered into the 50m race, not the 100m endurance test he would actually be competing in.And the day finally came. The poor swimmer captured the hearts of the Australian audience, and although he flagged in the second half of the race, with commentator Adrian Moorhouse remarking that “this guy doesn’t look like he’s going to make it”, he completed the heat with a time of 1 minute and 53 seconds.It was the slowest time in Olympic history, but a personal best.International media dubbed him ‘Eric the eel’ and he was praised as the symbol of the Olympic ideal that it’s not the winning, but the taking part that counts.When he was interviewed, still dripping from his exhausting feat, Moussambani remarked. “The first 50 meters were OK, but in the second 50 meters I got a bit worried and thought I wasn’t going to make it. Then something happened. I think it was all the people getting behind me. I was really, really proud. It’s still a great feeling for me and I loved when everyone applauded me at the end. I felt like I had won a medal or something.”28. What can we learn about Moussambani?A．He was coached by a former athlete.B．He came from a poor African country.C．He was trained for 100m endurance test.D．He practiced for an hour every day to prepare.29. What’s the commentator’s attitude towards Moussambani’s performance?A．Indifferent. B．Positive. C．Doubtful. D．Sympathetic. 30. Why was Moussambani regarded as a symbol of Olympic ideal?A．Because he put forth his best effort.B．Because he won an Olympic medal.C．Because he earned Olympic official entry.D．Because he was discouraged as a swimmer.31. What can we learn from Moussambani’s story?A．Practice makes perfect.B．All roads lead to Rome.C．It’s never too late to start.D．To fight well, not to conquer.In August, Jason M. Allen’s piece “Theatre D’opéra Spatial” — which he created with AI image generator Midjourney —won first place in the emerging artist division’s “digital arts photography” category at the Colorado State Fair Fine Arts Competition. The definition for the category states that digital art refers to works that use “digital technology as part of the creative process”.Allen’s award-winning image has led to debates about what, exactly, it means to be an artist and whether A I can truly make art. “It felt bad for the exact same reason we don’t let robots participate in the Olympics,” one Twitter user wrote. “Exciting times ahead for the world of art and innovation!” another tweeted.Yet while Allen didn’t use a paintbrush, the re was plenty of work involved, he said. First, he played around with phrasing that led Midjourney to generate images of women in elegant dresses and space helmets, in an attempt to mix Victorian-style costuming with space themes. Over time, with many slight changes to his written instructions, he created 900 different versions of what led to his final image. Then he improved the picture’s quality through Gigapixel AI and finally had the images printed.Allen is glad the debate over whether AI can be used to make art is attracting so much attention. “Rather than hating on the technology, we need to recognize that it’s a powerful tool and use it for good so we can all move forward,” Allen said.Cal Duran, one of the judges for the competition, said that while Allen’s piece included a mention of AI, he didn’t realize that when judging it. Still, he sticks by his decision to award it first place. “I think the AI technology may give more opportunities to people who may not find themselves artists in the conventio nal way,” he said.32. What do we know about Colorado State Fair Fine Arts Competition?A．It was held for well-established artists.B．It welcomed digital technology use.C．It had a division for AI art pieces.D．It was funded by Midjourney.33. What can be inferred from paragraph 3?A．Allen finished part of the drawing by hand.B．Changes of description led to different results.C．Allen’s attempt achieved immediate success.D．Gigapixel AI transferred words into pictures.34. What was Cal Duran’s opinion on AI use in Art?A．It will replace artists in the near future.B．It becomes a popular tool among artists.C．It is widely criticized by Twitter users.D．It makes art more accessible to people.35. What is the passage mainly about?A．A famous art competition.B．The trend of AI use in arts.C．The winning of an AI-driven picture.D．Start-up photographers’ innovation.We all have childhood best friends and we often assume that these persons would still be our friends when we are all grown-ups and even until the day we die. 36 . However, most people just grow apart and sadly, some childhood best friends just become people who used to know each other.37 . There are many reasons why a best friend from childhood can be forgotten. One of the most common reasons would be distance. Moving away and growing apart from each other can have the biggest effect on friendships.Another reason why we may forget our best friend is that we meet new best friends. The friends we made when we were young may not share the same interests that we have when we reach the teenage years. 38 .

I wanted to become beautiful, or at the very least, skinny. I stopped eating completely. Soon I began losing weight, which thrilled me, and I even grew to love the tiredness and light headaches that came with my poor diet, for those feelings meant that I was winning.As the season progressed, things had become tense between my head volleyball coach, Coach Smith, and me. She felt that something was wrong with my health. She talked with me about my eating and was angry that I wouldn’t listen to her when she tried to make me eat. She tried to persuade me in a determined way and so we fought constantly. Then my hunger started to affect my performance. I was so tired that practice and games were becoming a struggle. One afternoon, with hurt in her eyes, Coach Smith asked me what I had eaten and I told her nothing yet, but I was going to. She looked at me, disappointment in her eyes, knowing she couldn’t make me stop, and walked away.A couple of weeks later I attended a formal dinner for our volleyball team. I stood thereas my coach managed to say something nice about me. I realized then that I had ruined my senior year by being disrespectful, and I had probably ruined hers as well. So that evening I wrote her a letter apologizing and thanking her.Then one Saturday, as I was reading in the library, I felt someone gently take my arm and say softly, “Lynn Jones, how are you doing?” I looked up and saw the familiar face. “Thanks for the letter,” she said. “It meant a lot.”When I think of a coach, I think of someone above me, someone who gives instruction—not a friend. But Coach Smith is different, and, like any other good friend, she dealt with my problem in a determined way even when I hated her for it at that time. I didn’t deserve her kindness, but she gave it anyway. I will forever be grateful for her help, and now for her friendship.4．The author fought with Coach Smith because ________.A．she refused to go on a diet B．she caused failure of her teamC．she changed the training course D．she kept her idea of losing weight 5．Why did the author write a letter to Coach Smith?A．She felt sorry for eating too little food.B．She desired to improve her performanceC．She was grateful for Smith’s care for her health.D．She wanted to build a close relationship with Smith6．Which of the following can best describe Smith?A．Ambitious and patient.B．Caring and devoted.C．Enthusiastic and generous.D．Courageous and calm.7．What is the best title for the passage?A．Unexpected Friendship B．A Fight with My CoachC．A Strict Volleyball Coach D．My Way of Losing WeightIn August, Jason M. Allen’s piece “Theatre D’opéra Spatial” — which he created with AI image generator Midjourney — won first place in the emerging artist division’s “digital arts photography” category at the Colorado State Fair Fine Arts Competition. The definition for the category states that digital art refers to works that use “digital technology as part of the creative process”.Allen’s award-winning image has led to debates about what, exactly, it means to be anartist and whether AI can truly make art. “It felt bad for the exact same reason we don’t let robots participate in the Olympics,” one Twitter user wrote. “Exciting times ahead for the world of art and innovation!” another tweeted.Yet while Allen didn’t use a paintbrush, there was plenty of work involved, he said. First, he played around with phrasing that led Midjourney to generate images of women in elegant dresses and space helmets, in an attempt to mix Victorian-style costuming with space themes. Over time, with many slight changes to his written instructions, he created 900 different versions of what led to his final image. Then he improved the picture’s quality through Gigapixel AI and finally had the images printed.Allen is glad the debate over whether AI can be used to make art is attracting so much attention. “Rather than hating on the technology, we need to recognize that it’s a powerful tool and use it for good so we can all move forward.” Allen said.Cal Duran, one of the judges for the competition, said that while Allen’s piece included a mention of Al, he didn’t realize that when judging it. Still, he sticks to his decision to award it first place. “I think the AI technology may give more opportunities to people who may not find themselves artists in the conventional way,” he said.8．Why has Jason’s work led to debates?A．It was a copy of a photograph.B．It was created with the help of AI.C．He challenged the older artists.D．He broke the rule of the competition. 9．What can be inferred from paragraph 3?A．Allen finished part of the drawing by hand.B．Allen’s attempt achieved immediate success.C．Gigapixel AI transferred words into pictures.D．Changes of description led to different results.10．What was Cal Duran’s opinion on AI use in Art?A．It makes art more accessible to people.B．It will replace artists in the near future.C．It is widely criticized by Twitter users.D．It becomes a popular tool among artists. 11．What is the passage mainly about?A．A famous art competition.B．The trend of AI use in arts.C．The winning of an AI-driven picture.D．Start-up photographers’ innovation.Many years ago, people relied on the sun, the moon and stars to find their way around.Later, the compass was introduced. And now, we have satnav (卫星导航) systems to guide us.A satnav system uses groups of satellites to show the user’s location. They send information to a receiver, such as a smartphone, to show us where we are.The earliest built satnav system is the Global Positioning Satellite System, which belongs to the US. Then there is Russia’s Global Navigation Satellite system, the European Union’s Galileo and China’s own satellite navigation system, Beidou.On October 18, 2017, an ARJ21-700 plane, which was the first domestically (国内地) produced jet equipped with the Beidou navigation system, successfully completed a test flight. The results showed the performance of the system developed by China matches that of similar systems produced abroad, according to the Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China.Since its introduction in 2000, the Beidou navigation system has been increasing numbers of applications linked to everyday life, from shared bikes to farming.When it comes to shared bikes, smart locks that support Beidou chips offer more accurate positioning than others, making it easier to find a bike.Farmers can use Beidou-enabled tractors to plow (犁) the soil and use unmanned aircraft with Beidou to sow seeds, which can improve efficiency and make better use of resources. Beidou’s farming applications have spread from Heilongjiang Province to Beijing, Liaoning, Shanxi, Hubei and other regions across China.With its many uses, the Beidou navigation system is even playing a big role in the Belt and Road Initiative. “To date, the Beidou system has covered most parts of the Asia-Pacific region, as well as countries along the Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road,” said Yang Changfeng, chief designer of the Beidou system.Today, there are more than 20 Beidou satellites above our heads, and China plans to launch even more this year to expand the Beidou network to better serve the Belt and Road Initiative.“As Beidou expands its overseas reach, it will be increasingly popular in the logistics (物流) industry,” said Miao Qianjun, Secretary General of the navigation services association. “Ships, for example, can use it to position themselves while sailing across oceans to European countries, no longer limited to Southeast Asian regions in the near future.”12．What is the purpose of the first two paragraphs?A．To compare some modern satnav systems.B．To describe the benefits of satnav systems.C．To tell us how satnav systems were created.D．To introduce some satnav systems and their functions.13．What can we know about the Beidou navigation system according to the article?A．It was used successfully in a new jet plane.B．It is more powerful than other satnav systems.C．It was introduced to China on October, 2017.D．It wasn’t used in our everyday life until recently.14．According to the article, the Beidou navigation system is already widely used for_______.A．plowing the soil and sowing seedsB．improving the efficiency of networkC．producing more smart locks for shared bikesD．navigating ships across oceans to European countries15．What is Miao Qianjun’s attitude toward the future of the Beidou system?A．Worried.B．Casual.C．Positive.D．Indifferent.二、七选五Minimalism(极简主义), born out of a 20th-Century art movement, now refers to a lifestyle that helps people to get rid of life’s excess(过度，超量) in favor of focusing onthe top reasons people are choosing to live a minimalist lifestyle.Minimalism gives people more meaningOne of the main reasons people choose to become minimalists is that they want to achieve more meaning in their life. 17 Through practicing minimalism, people reduce their possessions to ones that make them truly happy and make more time for the experiences they really value.The lifestyle has helped people to be inspired to pursue their passions and craft their life in a way that brings them the most joy.Minimalism gives people more space18 A minimalist design is usually black and white colored rooms with smallerframed furniture. People enjoy the cleanness of the look as well as the fact that it allows for more space in the house.There’s a sense of peace and relaxation with not having space that’s cluttered(杂乱的) and messy. 19Minimalism gives people more offline timeA spin-off(派生物) that’s risen out of the movement is digital minimalism. This concept is probably particularly appealing to millennials who’ve grown tired of social media and being addicted to their technology. 20 They’re choosing to limit their cell phone use and focus on more productive and meaningful pursuits.It’s the popularity of this concept that’s helped to draw others to living more minimalist.Would you like to build a minimalist lifestyle? And what is your reason for it?A．Minimalists have enjoyed clearing up their spaces.B．It has become something of a trend all over the world.C．Minimalism is popular with many people because of its simple design.D．They feel they’ve lost sight of the things that are most important to them.E．They are choosing to abandon video games in favor of the minimalism style.F．Minimalism has helped people to really appreciate their home and be more organized.G．They are choosing to quit social media to spend time in person with family and friends.三、完形填空it sit in the middle of my back.

写一篇关于交通方式的变化的英语作文全文共6篇示例，供读者参考篇1The Changing Ways of TransportationHello everyone! Today, I want to tell you about the amazing changes in transportation that have happened over the years. Transportation is how we get from one place to another, like going to school, visiting friends, or going on vacation. Let's explore the different ways people used to travel and how it has changed!In the past, people mostly traveled by walking or riding animals. Can you believe it? They didn't have cars, buses, or even bicycles! They had to use their own two feet or rely on animals like horses or donkeys to carry them around. It must have taken a long time to get to faraway places.Then, with the invention of the wheel, things started to change. People invented carts that were pulled by animals. This made it easier to carry heavy things and travel longer distances. Imagine going on a road trip with a horse pulling your cart, how fun would that be?Fast forward to a few hundred years ago, and we see the invention of bicycles! Bicycles have two wheels, pedals, and handlebars. They don't need any fuel to run, just the power of our legs. Bicycles became a popular mode of transportation because they were faster than walking and didn't need animals to pull them. It was like having your own superpower!But the biggest change came with the invention of cars. Cars are amazing machines that run on fuel and have engines to make them move. They can go really fast and carry many people at once. Cars have made traveling so much faster and easier. We can go anywhere we want, whenever we want!However, cars also have some problems. They use a lot of fuel, which can harm the environment. They can also create traffic jams, making us wait for a long time on the road. That's why people started looking for new ways to travel that are more eco-friendly and efficient.Nowadays, we have electric cars and public transportation. Electric cars run on electricity instead of fuel, so they don't create pollution. They are much better for our planet. Public transportation, like buses and trains, can carry many people at once, reducing the number of cars on the road. This helps to reduce traffic and protect our environment.There are also new inventions like hoverboards, electric scooters, and even flying cars! These futuristic inventions may become the way we travel in the future. Just imagine zooming through the sky in a flying car, how exciting would that be?Transportation has come a long way, from walking and riding animals to flying cars. It's amazing to see how human beings have invented and improved different ways to travel. As we continue to learn and grow, who knows what incredible transportation inventions we will have in the future?So, always remember to appreciate the transportation we have today and think about how we can make it even better for the future. Let's be responsible travelers and take care of our planet while enjoying the adventure of exploring new places!That's all for today, my friends. I hope you enjoyed learning about the changing ways of transportation. Until next time, happy travels!篇2The Changing Face of TransportationHi there! My name is Emma, and I'm a fourth-grader at Sunny Hills Elementary School. Today, I want to talk to you aboutsomething that fascinates me a lot – the evolution of transportation!Can you imagine a world without cars, trains, or planes? It must have been pretty tough for people to get around back then. But you know what? Humans are incredibly smart and resourceful, and they've always found ways to make their lives easier and more convenient.Let's start by talking about the good old days when people had to rely on their own two feet to go from one place to another. Walking was the primary mode of transportation for thousands of years! Imagine having to walk for miles and miles just to get to the nearest town or village. Phew, that must have been exhausting!But then, humans discovered the power of animals like horses, donkeys, and camels. These amazing creatures became our trusty companions on long journeys, carrying people and goods across vast distances. Suddenly, the world seemed a little bit smaller and more accessible.As time went on, humans kept pushing the boundaries of innovation. They invented the wheel, which changed everything! With the help of wheeled carts and chariots, people couldtransport heavier loads more efficiently. It was a game-changer, let me tell you!Fast forward to the Industrial Revolution, and we saw the birth of steam-powered trains and locomotives. These mechanical marvels could carry passengers and cargo across countries and continents at unprecedented speeds. Suddenly, long-distance travel became a reality for many people, and the world truly started shrinking.Speaking of speed, let's not forget about the invention of the automobile! Cars and trucks made it possible for people to travel independently and conveniently. No more waiting for trains or horse-drawn carriages – you could just hop in your car and go wherever you wanted, whenever you wanted.But the real showstopper, in my opinion, is the invention of airplanes! Can you imagine how mind-blowing it must have been for people to see a giant metal bird soaring through the skies? Airplanes revolutionized long-distance travel, making it possible to traverse vast oceans and continents in a matter of hours.These days, we have all sorts of amazing transportation options at our fingertips. High-speed trains, electric cars, and even spacecraft that can take us to the moon and beyond! It's truly incredible how far we've come.But you know what's even more exciting? The future of transportation! Researchers and engineers are constantly working on new and innovative ways to get us from point A to point B. Who knows, maybe one day we'll have flying cars or teleportation devices straight out of science fiction movies!Personally, I can't wait to see what the future holds for transportation. Will we have self-driving cars that can navigate traffic automatically? Or maybe we'll have hyperloop systems that can shoot us across cities and countries at supersonic speeds? The possibilities are endless!One thing's for sure, though – transportation has come a long, long way since the days of walking and horse-drawn carriages. It's truly amazing how humans have used their creativity and ingenuity to overcome the challenges of distance and mobility.So, the next time you hop in your car, board a plane, or even just take the bus, remember to appreciate the incredible journey that transportation has taken over the centuries. Who knows, maybe one day you'll be part of the next big transportation revolution!Well, that's all from me for now. I hope you found this little history lesson on transportation as fascinating as I did. Until next time, happy travels!篇3The Evolution of How We Get AroundHi there! My name is Jamie and I'm going to tell you all about the super cool ways that transportation has changed over time. Buckle up, because this is going to be an awesome ride through history!Way back in the olden days, like a really really long time ago, people just had to walk everywhere they needed to go. Can you imagine having to walk for hours and hours just to get to school or visit your family? It must have been exhausting! Eventually, someone was like "Hey, I have an idea! What if we put a couple of wheels on something and then an animal can pull it for us?" And that's how the very first wheel was invented. Pretty genius, right?After that, things started getting a bit more advanced. People started making horse-drawn carriages and wagons. Horses are big strong animals, so they could pull people and cargo along muddy roads and paths. Of course, horses do gettired, so long journeys still took ages. But it was definitely faster than just walking.Then came the real game-changer - the steam engine! This nifty little invention used the power of steam to, well, power things. It led to the creation of steam-powered boats, trains, and even early cars and trucks. All of a sudden, people could travel much farther, much faster than ever before without having to depend on animals.Trains were especially revolutionary. They allowed people and goods to be transported across entire countries quickly and efficiently. Huge rail networks sprung up, connecting cities in ways that would have once seemed impossible. Of course, trains needed tracks to run on, so people had to put in a ton of work laying miles and miles of metal rails across the landscapes.While trains were transporting people over land, ships were ruling the seas. From small wooden sailboats to massive steel steamships, these vessels allowed humans to explore the world's oceans and waterways like never before. People could now travel and trade across vast distances that had seemed unreachable. It really shrank the world and brought cultures together.Then, around the start of the 1900s, an incredible new machine burst onto the scene - the automobile! Theseself-powered vehicles could carry people and cargo over roads without needing horses or rails. The first cars were pretty basic, but they kicked off a total transportation revolution. Suddenly, personal travel became way more convenient and widespread. Families could hop in their Model T's and cruise around town as they pleased!As automobiles grew more popular, cities had to adapt. Paved roads started being built to accommodate cars, replacing old dirt paths and trails. Gas stations popped up so drivers could refuel their vehicles. The rise of cars definitely changed how cities were designed and lived in.Nowadays, we've got all sorts of awesome transportation methods. Subways and metro systems allow people in big cities to zoom beneath the streets. Bullet trains can achieve incredible speeds over tracks. Massive cargo ships ferry goods across vast oceans. Elon Musk is even working on super high-tech Hyperloop trains that travel through low-pressure tubes! How crazy is that?The ways we get around have definitely come a long, long way since our ancestors just had to hoof it everywhere they went. Every new invention, from the humble wooden wheel to hypersonic jets, has made it easier for us to travel farther, faster,and in more comfort than ever before. Who knows - maybe one day we'll even be zooming around in flying cars like the Jetsons!篇4Changes in How We Get AroundHi there! My name is Jamie and I'm in 5th grade. Today I want to talk to you about how transportation and the ways we get around have changed a lot over time. It's really fascinating to think about all the different vehicles and transportation methods that have been invented throughout history. Let me tell you a bit about what I've learned!Way back before cars, trains, or airplanes were invented, the main ways for people to travel were by walking, riding a horse or other animal, or traveling by boat on the water. Can you imagine having to walk everywhere you needed to go? Or only being able to get around as fast as a horse could run? It must have taken forever to get anywhere far away.One of the earliest major innovations in transportation was the wheel. This simple invention made it possible to create wheeled carts that could carry heavy loads much more easily than just dragging things across the ground. Later on, theancient Egyptians, Mesopotamians, and other civilizations used wheeled chariots and wagons pulled by horses, oxen, or people.In the 1800s, things really started to change rapidly with the invention of steam power. The first steam-powered boats and ships were developed, which could travel much faster than boats powered by sails or oars. And in 1804, the first steam locomotive or train was invented. Trains running on rail tracks quickly became one of the main ways to transport people and goods over long distances across countries.Not long after, in the late 1800s, the first modern automobiles or cars were created. They used internal combustion engines instead of steam power. Henry Ford then invented the assembly line in 1913, which made cars much more affordable for regular people to own and use. From then on, cars became the primary mode of transportation for shorter personal travel for people in developed countries.Another huge advancement was the invention of airplanes in the early 1900s. The Wright brothers successfully flew the first powered, heavier-than-air aircraft in 1903. Airplanes made it possible to travel internationally much faster than ever before possible. They revolutionized both passenger travel and the shipping of goods across the world.In more recent decades, new transportation technologies like high-speed bullet trains, electric cars, and reusable rockets for space travel have emerged. And who knows what incredible new inventions are yet to come in the future? Maybe one day we'll even have flying cars like on The Jetsons!One trend I've noticed is that transportation has generally gotten faster over time. It used to take weeks or months for people to travel long distances by foot, horse, or ship. But these days, we can fly across entire oceans in just several hours on an airplane. Or even travel to outer space and back in a matter of days on a rocket ship!Another big shift has been the move towards more environmentally-friendly transportation options to reduce air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. Whilegasoline-powered cars and airplanes are still widely used, electric vehicles (like Tesla cars), hybrid gas-electric cars, public transit systems, bicycles, and walking have become a lot more popular in recent years as people try to "go green."It's also fascinating how different parts of the world have relied on different transportation methods based on their local geography and lifestyle. In very rural areas, horses, donkeys, or camels were the main mode of transportation for a long time. Incities located along rivers or the ocean, boats and ships were essential. And in mountainous areas, railroads and tunnels were engineered to go through and over the hills.One thing that strikes me is how quickly new transportation technologies seemed to get adopted once they were invented. Just a couple centuries ago, the idea of traveling in a metal vehicle powered by an engine instead of an animal probably sounded like pure science-fiction! But once cars and trains were developed, people were quick to embrace them and they rapidly spread around the world.I can't even imagine what innovative new transportation methods might be invented in the decades to come that could completely transform how we get around yet again. Maybe some sort of teleportation device like in Star Trek? Or environmentally-friendly flying vehicles? Or ultra high-speed vactrains that can go thousands of miles per hour through airless tubes? The possibilities seem endless to me.Whatever revolutionary new transportation technologies get developed, one thing is for sure - humans seem to always crave traveling farther, faster, cheaper, and more conveniently than before. Each new generation builds off the successes and innovations of the previous generations to create newer andbetter transportation systems. Horse and buggies led to steam trains which led to gas-powered cars and airplanes. So who knows what awaits us next?One theme that runs throughout the history of transportation is about breaking boundaries and going beyond what was possible before. First it was about moving beyond the limited ranges that humans could travel by foot power alone. Then it was about figuring out how to travel faster than traditional sail boats and horse-drawn carriages. Then transcontinental railroads and international shipping routes connected regions together like never before possible.Now, modern air travel and even space exploration have made it possible to travel halfway across the planet in a single day. Or leave the planet's atmosphere altogether! To me, the story of transportation over human history is all about us constantly pushing the limits of our mobility, exploring new frontiers, and connecting with people and places that previously seemed out of reach.So that's a bit about how I see transportation methods changing and evolving over time! From the earliest foot travel and animal-powered carriages, to oceangoing ships and railroads, to modern cars and airplanes, to potentiallyteleportation and vactrains in the future - it's been an incredible revolution in how we get around. I can't wait to see what new mind-blowing transportation technologies get invented next! Maybe one day I'll even get to experience traveling to Mars or another planet. How amazing would that be?篇5The Way We Move Around Has Really Changed!Hi there! My name is Jamie and I'm ten years old. Today I want to tell you all about how the ways people get from place to place have changed so much over time. It's pretty amazing when you think about it!Let's start wayyyy back, like hundreds and hundreds of years ago. Back then, there were no cars, buses, trains or airplanes at all. Can you imagine?! People had to walk absolutely everywhere they needed to go. Whether it was just down the street to the market or all the way across their whole country, they walked. That must have been sooo tiring!Some people were a bit luckier though. If they had a horse or a donkey, they could ride on the animal's back instead of walking. That would definitely be faster than going on foot. But still, it took days and weeks to travel very far on horseback. Sailing shipswere another option for longer journeys over the ocean, but those voyages took months!As time went on, things started getting a little better for getting around. The very first "vehicles" like coaches, carriages and wagons were invented. These had wheels and could carry people and cargo. But they still relied on horses or oxen to pull them along. It wasn't until the 1800s that the firststeam-powered vehicles came along and could move all on their own without any animals!One of the biggest breakthroughs was the steam locomotive train in the early 1800s. All of a sudden, people and goods could travel overland at speeds never seen before - up to 30 miles per hour! That might not sound very fast to us today, but back then it was lightning quick. Railroads started crisscrossing countries, making it much easier for people to travel longer distances.Not long after that, the automobile or "car" was invented and became available in the late 1800s. Unlike trains that were bound to rail tracks, cars could travel on roads and get people straight from their starting point to their destination. Cars made it really convenient for families to just hop in and drive shorter distances instead of having to walk or take a horse and buggy.In the early 1900s, airplanes were developed and people could finally achieve the dream of flying through the skies! Air travel absolutely revolutionized long-distance transportation. All of a sudden, journeys that used to take weeks on a ship or train could be done in just a matter of hours up in the air. Cities and even entire countries that once felt incredibly far away were now much more easily accessible.As the 1900s progressed, transportation just kept getting faster, more efficient and more comfortable. Cars got better gas mileage and nice cushioned seats. Trains could go over 100 mph. Jets could zip through the skies at incredible speeds. Subways, buses and other public transit systems started popping up in cities too to get people around town easily without having to drive themselves.Today in the 2020s, there are self-driving cars with no human driver needed, recycling-powered buses, magnetic levitation trains that float above the rails, and commercial space planes that can leave the atmosphere. I can't even imagine what new amazing transportation methods will come next in my lifetime!While getting from place to place used to be incredibly difficult and took forever in the old days, we are so fortunatenow to have all these awesome options to take us near and far quickly and conveniently. Whether I want to make it across town to school or visit relatives across the ocean, there are so many fast and modern ways for me to get there. Cars, trains, planes, buses, subways...the possibilities are almost endless!What's your favorite way to travel? I personally love hopping on a high-speed bullet train and watching the countryside whiz by in a big blur out the window. Or maybe a ride in a sleek electric car with all the latest tech that can park itself. That's so cool! No matter how you like to get around, you have to admit that transportation has come incredibly far. Looking back to how our ancestors had to walk or ride horses everywhere, we've come such a long way. I can't wait to see what new amazing inventions for transportation are still to come!篇6The Evolution of Getting From Here to ThereHey there! I'm just a kid, but even I can see how much transportation has changed over the years. The way people and things move around is so different from when my parents and grandparents were young. Let me tell you all about it!When my grandparents were kids, cars were pretty new and not a lot of people had them. Most folks walked or rode bikes to get around town. My grandma tells me stories about walking miles to school every day, no matter if it was blazing hot or freezing cold outside. Can you imagine? I complain if I have to walk half a mile! Bikes were popular too, she says, especially for paperboys delivering newspapers door-to-door.For longer distances, people rode trains a lot back then. Trains were a super important way to transport people and goods across the country before planes were common. My grandpa grew up near railroad tracks and loved watching the steam engines rumble past, blowing their whistles. Trains were the best way to travel from city to city for a long time.As time went on, cars became more affordable for regular families to own. Instead of just the wealthy having cars, regular people like my grandparents could save up and buy one. All of a sudden, everyone could drive wherever they wanted! No more waiting for trains or buses. With a car, you could come and go as you pleased.Highways were built to connect cities, making it easier for people to take road trips and drive long distances. Motels and restaurants popped up along the highways for travelers to stop.My parents have so many memories of our family piling into our old station wagon and driving for hours to visit relatives or go on vacation. Back then, gas was much cheaper than it is now too.Planes also became a hugely popular way to travel, especially for trips that were really far away. In the past, it took days or even weeks to go across the country by train. But planes allowed people to zip from one side of the nation to the other in just a few hours! My dad remembers his first plane ride as a kid –he was in awe at how fast the plane went and how exciting it was to see the view from up high.These days, we have so many transportation options that my grandparents never would have imagined! Sure, we still drive cars, ride trains, and fly in planes. But we also have newhigh-speed rail systems, electric cars, ride shares like Uber and Lyft, and personal transportation devices like e-scooters. Technology has totally changed how we get around.Self-driving cars are already being tested in some cities –crazy, right? You just punch in where you want to go in the car's computer, and it drives itself there while you can work, read, or just relax! No steering wheel or pedals needed. The cars use sensors to detect other vehicles, traffic lights, pedestrians, andobstacles. It's like having a robot chauffeur! I can't wait until self-driving cars are everywhere when I'm an adult.Speaking of the future, some big companies are working on developing small, personal drones that can fly individual people short distances. Imagine ordering a drone to your house with a couple taps on your phone, hopping in, and letting it fly you to work or school or the mall! It would be like having your own tiny helicopter or plane. Wildlife officials are a little worried about the noise from all those drones buzzing around, but companies say they'll be very quiet.Cities are also building out more bike lanes, bike shares, and trails for walking and cycling. This makes cutting down on car traffic and air pollution easier. Some cities don't even allow cars in certain neighborhoods - you have to use public transit, walk, or bike to get around those areas. My buddy Eric told me they have underground tunnels for delivery robots to bring things to businesses and homes so there are no cars or trucks driving around. Sounds pretty cool to me!With all these changes in transportation happening, who knows what the future will hold? Maybe we'll be driving flying cars or using teleportation machines in another 50 years! One thing is for sure - the ways we get from place to place will keepevolving and changing with new technologies. Just like my grandparents couldn't have imagined things like self-driving cars and delivery drones back when they were kids, the transportation of the future will probably seem just as crazy and futuristic to us now. I can't wait to see what develops next! Looks like my generation is in for one wild ride.。

备忘录向全体员工宣布新总裁的英语作文全文共6篇示例，供读者参考篇1Dear All Employees,Hello everybody! My name is Timmy and I'm 8 years old. I'm writing this very important memo to tell you about our brand new CEO. Mrs. Thompson, who was our CEO before, has decided to retire and spend more time with her grandkids. We all owe her a huge thank you for her many years of hard work leading our company.But now it's time for someone new to take over as the boss. After a long search, the board of directors has chosen Mr. Jonathan Bradley to be our new CEO! I had a chance to meet Mr. Bradley and he seems like a really nice guy. He has glasses and graying hair and always dresses super fancy in suits and ties. When I shook his hand, it felt like shaking a giant's hand because his hands are so big!Mr. Bradley has been a CEO before at other companies, so he knows what he's doing. From what I understand, a CEO is kind of like the principal of a school, but for a whole company insteadof just one building. The CEO makes all the really important decisions and tells everyone else what to do. It's a very big responsibility.In the interview process, Mr. Bradley really impressed everyone by laying out his vision for the future of our company. He has all sorts of amazing ideas to help us grow and be more successful. I don't want to give away all the details, but get ready because things are going to be changing around here in some exciting ways!One of the first things Mr. Bradley wants to do is hear directly from employees about what's working well and what could be improved. So be on the lookout for opportunities to share your thoughts and ideas. He's really big on listening to everyone's perspective.He also cares a lot about making sure our workplace is positive, supportive, and free of any bullying or meanness. Mr. Bradley won't tolerate anyone treating others badly. If someone is being a jerk, you can report it to HR or even go straight to Mr. Bradley himself and he'll straighten that person out. He believes we're all part of one big team here and we need to respect each other.Another priority for the new CEO is having more fun! He wants to look at ways to make work more enjoyable and rewarding for everyone. Maybe that could mean more parties, contests, casual Fridays, or whatever else you all come up with. The point is Mr. Bradley doesn't want our company to feel like a boring old office, but a lively and joyful place to be. Doesn't that sound great?So in the coming weeks and months, get ready for some exciting changes with Mr. Bradley at the helm. I'll do my best to hang around the office as much as I can (when I'm not in school, that is) so I can give you all periodic updates on his plans. I've been told I'm a pretty good little messenger!If you happen to see Mr. Bradley around, be sure to go up and introduce yourself. Don't be shy! He's actually a really friendly guy once you get past his serious exterior. Just don't ask him about sports because he's totally clueless on that topic. Video games are more my area of expertise.Anyway, that's all for now! Let me know if you have any other questions. I'll be happy to ask Mr. Bradley and get back to you. This is going to be fun!Your Buddy,Timmy篇2Subject: We Have a New Boss!Hi everyone! My name is Jimmy and I'm writing to you all about some super important news. Are you ready? We have a new CEO to be the top boss of our whole company! His name is Mr. Jonathan Stevenson and he seems like a really nice guy.I got to meet Mr. Stevenson last week when he came to our office. He has kind of a funny voice - it's very deep and loud. But he was smiling a lot and shaking everyone's hand. Even though he's now the biggest boss, he still wanted to say hello to everyone, even us kids! Pretty cool of him if you ask me.My mom says that being a CEO is one of the hardest jobs there is. Basically, Mr. Stevenson is in charge of every single person at our company. He has to make sure all the grown-ups are doing their jobs right and that everything is running smoothly. It's a huge responsibility!From what I've heard, Mr. Stevenson has been working at companies for a really really long time. Like, probably even before I was born! He started off doing regular jobs just like yourmom or dad, but then he kept getting promoted over and over again to bigger and more important roles. And now he's made it all the way to the tippy top as our new CEO!I think we're really lucky to have such an experienced leader coming on board. The last CEO, Mr. Wilkins, was nice too but he always seemed a little stressed out. Maybe having someone like Mr. Stevenson around will help things run even better. From the way everyone was talking, it sounds like he has a ton of great ideas to make our company grow and improve.My dad says that when someone gets promoted to an important new job like this, we should go out of our way to make them feel welcome. So maybe we could all draw pictures or write nice notes to Mr. Stevenson? I'm going to make him a card that says "Congratulations on being the new Top Dog!" I think he'll get a kick out of that.Also, we should be on our very best behavior while Mr. Stevenson gets settled in over the next few weeks. No pulling pranks or goofing off! We need to show him that our company is filled with hard workers who get the job done right. Let's make sure he has a great first impression of us!There's still so much about Mr. Stevenson that I don't know yet. Like, what's his favorite color? Or his favorite sports team? Orwhat video games he likes to play? Maybe if we're lucky he'll tell us some of that cool stuff during an upcoming meeting. A CEO who talks about fun stuff like that would be awesome!Anyways, I'm really excited to have Mr. Stevenson joining us as our new leader. I have a feeling he'll bring lots of positive energy and good changes. If you see him walking around the office, be sure to smile and say hi! CEOs areVIPs for sure, but hopefully this one will be a VIP who's also very nice and approachable.Okay, that's all for my big announcement! Let me know if you have any other questions. I'll do my best to answer or at least ask one of the grown-ups to explain stuff better. Here's to an amazing future with our new CEO, Mr. Jonathan Stevenson!Your friend,Jimmy篇3Dear Everyone at the Company,Hi guys! Did you hear the big news?? We have a brand new boss and his name is Mr. Jonathan Stevenson! Isn't that exciting??I can't wait to tell you all about him.First of all, Mr. Stevenson is really really tall - I mean like a giant! When he came to speak at my class last week, he had to duck his head just to get through the doorway. We all giggled because his head nearly touched the ceiling! He has brown hair and bright blue eyes that kind of sparkle when he smiles. And get this - he has a English accent just like Harry Potter! So cool, right?Anyway, Mr. Stevenson is going to be our new "Chief Executive Officer" which is just a fancy way of saying he's the top boss who makes all the biggest decisions. But even though he's super important, he was really nice and funny when he visited us.He told us all about how he used to work at these other huge companies before, but now he's joining our company because he thinks we're doing really great things. I couldn't believe a guy that successful was going to be working with us! I put my hand up and asked him if he was rich, but he just laughed and said he's more interested in making the world a better place than just having lots of money. Can you believe that? What a nice guy!Then Timmy put his hand up and asked what kinds of things Mr. Stevenson likes to do for fun outside of work. He said his favorite hobbies are reading books (boring!), going on hiking trips with his dogs (he has two golden retrievers named Buddyand Scout - how cute is that??), and something called "beekeeping" where he has his own little bee hive and collects their honey. I didn't even know people could have bees just living in their backyard! He promised to bring in a jar of his homemade honey for the class to try. Yum!After he answered our questions, Mr. Stevenson had us go around the room and say one thing we'd like to "make the world a better place" if we were in charge of the company. I said I want to invent a gummy bear that's also a vegetable so kids can eat candy that's actually good for them. Timmy said he wants to make a video game controller that gives you exercise just from playing games. Aren't we so smart??Anyway, that's about all the details I can remember from Mr. Stevenson's visit. The main things are:He's going to be the new boss/CEOHe's really tall with brown hair and blue eyesHe has an English accentHe likes reading, hiking with dogs, and beekeepingHe wants to use our company to make the world betterI'm super excited that someone so cool and nice is taking over as the new leader! I just know he's going to help our company do amazing things. If you see Mr. Stevenson around the office, be sure to say hi and remind him that he owes my class a jar of his yummy honey!Your pal,[Your Name]篇4New Boss at the Company!Hey everyone! Did you hear the big news? We got a new CEO at our company! That means the top boss, the head honcho, the big cheese. The former CEO retired and we have someone brand new in charge now. His name is Mr. Jonathan Stevenson and he seems like a really nice guy.I saw him walking around the office on his first day. He was shaking everyone's hand and introducing himself. He has kind of a funny accent - I think he might be from England or somewhere over there. But he speaks really clearly and you can understand him just fine.Some of the other kids' parents work here too and they said Mr. Stevenson has been the CEO of a few other companies before this. So he has a lot of experience being in charge of big businesses like ours. Apparently he is really good at his job and makes smart decisions to help companies be successful.From what I've heard, the old CEO did a pretty good job too. Our company was already doing well before he left. But I guess the board of directors (that's like a group of people who get to make the really important decisions) decided they wanted to mix things up with someone new. Maybe Mr. Stevenson will have some cool new ideas to make our company even better!In the big meeting where they introduced him, Mr. Stevenson said he was really excited to be joining us. He talked about wanting to create more "growth opportunities" and "drive innovation" - whatever tha t means. It sounded very professional and important though!He also said he values all of us employees a lot. Mr. Stevenson wants to make sure everyone feels "engaged" and "empowered" at work. I'm not quite sure what those big words mean either, but it seems like he'll be a boss who listens to our ideas and lets us have a say in how things get done. That would be pretty neat!Apparently he has a wife named Alison and two kids around my age - a boy and a girl. I'll have to ask him about them next time I see him. It would be so cool if his kids wanted to join my kickball team after school! We could be, like, work friends and sports teammates. How many CEOs do you know who would let their kid play kickball with one of the employees' kids? Mr. Stevenson must be a really down-to-earth guy.Some of the adults are probably worried that everything will change now that we have a new person in charge. But my dad says that's just how these things go - companies get new leaders sometimes and it's really not that big of a deal. He told me not to stress about it too much. Mr. Stevenson is just here to keep doing a good job running the business, same as the last CEO.Plus, if Mr. Stevenson tries to make any major changes, he'd have to get approval from the board of directors first. And my dad is actually on that board! So in a way, Mr. Stevenson kind of has to listen to what my dad says. How cool is that? It's like I have a connection to the new boss already. Maybe I'll get him to hire an ice cream truck to come around on Fridays or something. A kid can dream, right?Anyway, I'm really excited to have Mr. Stevenson here. He seems like a pretty awesome, smart, and friendly guy. Ioverheard some of the adults saying he has a lot of "strategic vision" for improving our business and "positioning us forlong-term growth." I'm not 100% sure what that means, but it sounds like Mr. Stevenson has some great plans in store.If you see the new CEO walking around, be sure to say hi! He's new here, so he could probably use some friendly faces to make him feel welcome. You never know, he might event let you have a piece of candy from that dish on his desk. The old CEO never did that - he was no fun at all!So let's all give a big welcome to Mr. Jonathan Stevenson, everyone! With him as our fearless leader, our company is sure to have a very bright future. I, for one, can't wait to see what kinds of cool, exciting things he'll do around here. Hopefully he makes things fun for us kids too! A boy can wish, right?篇5Dear Employees,I have some super exciting news to share with all of you! We are getting a new boss for our company. That's right, we have a brand new CEO joining us! I know you might be wondering "What's a CEO?" Well, let me explain.A CEO stands for "Chief Executive Officer." They are the highest ranking employee and the head honcho of the whole company. The CEO is like the principal of a school, except instead of being in charge of teachers and students, they are in charge of all the workers and everything that happens at our company. Pretty cool, right?Our new CEO is named Mr. Jonathan Williams. He seems like a really nice guy from what I've heard. I saw his picture and he has greying hair and a friendly smile. I bet he's the type of person who hands out stickers for doing a good job! Wouldn't that be awesome?Mr. Williams has been working at big companies for a really, really long time. Like way longer than any of us have been alive! He started out as a regular worker bee just like the rest of us. But through a lot of hard work and dedication, he kept getting promoted to higher and higher positions. Eventually, he became the CEO of his old company. And now he's going to be the new head honcho for our company too!I think it's so inspiring that someone can work their way up from an entry level job all the way to becoming the top leader of a huge corporation. It just goes to show that if you study hard, listen to your teachers (or in this case, bosses!), and never giveup, you can achieve anything you set your mind to. What an encouraging lesson for all of us!Mr. Williams is scheduled to start his first official day as our CEO next Monday. I really hope you'll all join me in giving him a warm welcome to our company. We should make him a big "Welcome" banner to hang up in the lobby. And it would be so nice if everyone made him those construction paper loops that say things like "Congratulations on your new job!" You know, like we do for our teachers sometimes. I think gestures like that would make Mr. Williams feel really special on his first day.In the meantime, let's all work extra hard this week to make sure everything is running ship-shape for when our new CEO arrives. We want to show Mr. Williams that we are a team of dedicated, productive workers who take pride in our jobs. I know I'll be doing my best to neat and complete all my tasks on time!Well, that's all the news I have for now about our exciting new leadership change. Isn't it just the coolest? I can't wait for Mr. Williams to see what an incredible group of people we have here at the company. This is going to be the start of an awesome new chapter, I can feel it!Let me know if you have any other questions. I'll do my best to answer them or find someone who can. Thank you all forbeing such great friends and coworkers. Here's to a bright future with our new CEO!Sincerely,Your Pal at Work篇6Hi everyone! I have some super important news to share with all of you. Get ready, because this is going to be really big!Our company has a new boss. Yup, that's right - we have a new CEO! The big cheese, the head honcho, the one in charge. Her name is Mrs. Jane Thompson and she seems like a really nice lady.I met her the other day when she came to visit our school ona field trip. She was dressed all fancy in a black suit and had her hair pulled back neatly. Very professional looking! When she shook my hand, her grip was firm but not too tight. Just right for a grown-up handshake.During the visit, Mrs. Thompson got up in front of the whole auditorium and gave a speech about being our new leader. She has an important job - probably the most important in the whole company! As the CEO, she makes all the biggest decisions aboutwhere our business should go and how to get there. Kinda like the captain of a ship, steering us in the right direction.In her speech, Mrs. Thompson said she was really excited to be joining our team. She told us she has worked at other companies before, but that ours is really special. I liked how she kept using the word "amazing" to describe our products and all of us employees. Hearing that made me feel proud to work here!Mrs. Thompson also talked about some of her big plans once she officially starts as the new CEO. First off, she wants to make sure everyone here is really happy at work. She said "Satisfied employees are the key to a successful business." I'm not exactly sure what that means, but it sounds good! Maybe she'll get us better snacks for the vending machine or something.Another goal she has is to keep pushing our company to dream up cool new products that people will totally love. Mrs. Thompson said "Innovation is what drives a company forward," which I think means coming up with unique ideas. Her face really lit up when she talked about innovation. You can tell it's something she really cares about a whole lot.Finally, Mrs. Thompson wants our business to be number one in the entire industry. She got really fired up saying "We are going to be the leaders! The absolute best at what we do!" Icould feel her passion and determination. With a boss that driven and ambitious, how could we possibly fail?After her speech, Mrs. Thompson stuck around for a while to mingle and meet employees one-on-one. When it was my turn, I asked her what her favorite and least favorite parts of being CEO were. She said the best part is getting to work with so many creative, hardworking people every single day. Her least favorite is all the meetings she has to attend. Too many meetings! I can definitely relate to that.Mrs. Thompson seems like someone who really knows her stuff. She's been a CEO before at other companies, so this isn't her first rodeo. With over 20 years of business experience, she definitely didn't just fall off the turnip truck! I'm sure she'll do an awesome job in charge.I could tell from talking to her that Mrs. Thompson is a pretty nice, down-to-earth person too. Not one of those stuck-up CEO types at all. During our chat, she asked me a bunch of questions about myself and seemed really interested in what I had to say. She even laughed at a couple of my goofy jokes!So there you have it - everything you need to know about our fresh new leader, Mrs. Jane Thompson. She's wicked smart,totally experienced, and seems to really care about us employees. We're lucky to have such a qualified yet approachable new CEO.With Mrs. Thompson at the helm, I just know our company is heading for smooth sailing and great things ahead. Onward and upward as they always say! We're gonna go full steam ahead with improving our products, expanding our business, and showing the whole world what we're made of.Mrs. Thompson said her door is always open if any of us ever want to stop by her office. I'm definitely going to take her up on that offer. Maybe I'll even ask if she plays any good road trip games to pass the time during all those meetings! Haha!Anyway, that's the scoop straight from me to you on our newest boss. Be sure to give her a big warm welcome the next time you see her walking the halls. With her in charge, the future is looking brighter than ever! Let's make Mrs. Thompson proud, team!。
