There is no doubt whether the Internet plays an important part in our everyday life. It can provide people with a life of highly quality. So it can also do harm to people, especially to teenagers. For an example, things such as violence and cheating often appear on the Internet, that can seriously pollute their hearts and souls (心灵). As result, children will gradually lose interest for their studies. Now it's time for the government to take some measures (措施) to deal of this problem. Some websites that breaks the rules should be punished and closed up. As students, we should also protect us from the bad influence of the Internet.
The Chongyang Festival falls on the ninth day of the ninth month of the Chinese lunar calendar, so it is also known as the Double Ninth Festival.
The festival is held in the golden season of autumn, at harvest time. The bright clear sky and the joy of bringing in the harvest make for a festival happy atmosphere. The Chongyang Festival is usually perfect for outdoor activities. Climbing a mountain, carrying a spray of dogwood(茱萸)and drinking chrysanthemum(菊花)wine have become the traditional activities of the festival.
The dogwood is a plant with a strong fragrance(香气), and is often used as a Chinese herbal medicine. People in ancient times believed it could drive away evil spirits and prevent one from getting a chill(着凉)in late autumn. So its history as a medicine goes back many centuries. But the custom of carrying a spray of dogwood during the Double Ninth Festival is slowly dying out and many people in the cities do not even know what a dogwood spray looks like.
Early in Han Dynasty, about 2000 years ago, people used to climb a high platform outside the capital city of Chang'an on the occasion of the Chongyang Festival. For many, it was the last outing of the year before the onset of winter. The custom evolved(发展成)into present form, when people go climbing to get some exercise as well as enjoy the autumn scenery.
But what about those people who live in plains far from any mountain? The problem is solved by going for a picnic and eating cakes. The Chinese word for "cake" is "Gao", a homonym(同音异义字) of the Chinese word for "high". Mountains are high, so eating cakes can, by a stretch of the imagination, take the place of going for a climb.
—Yes. It's good weather that I'd like to take a walk.
depends on how you do it.
I know I should have told the headmaster at the time. That was my real 1. He had gone out of the study for some 2, leaving me alone. In his absence I looked to see 3 was on his desk. In the 4 was a small piece of paper on which were written the5 “English Writing Prize: History Is a Series of Biographies(人物传记). ”
A(n)6 boy would have avoided looking at the title as soon as he saw the 7. I did not. The subject of the English Writing Prize was kept a 8 until the start of the exam, so I could not 9 reading it.
When the headmaster 10, I was looking out of the window.
I should have told him what had 11 then. It would have been so 12 to say, “I'm sorry but I 13 the title for the English Writing Prize on your desk. You'll have to 14it. ”
The chance passed and I did not 15 it. I sat the exam the next day and I won. I didn't mean to cheat, but it was still cheating 16.
That was thirty-eight years 17 when I was fifteen. I have never told anyone about it before, nor have I 18 to explain to myself why not.
The obvious explanation is that I could not admit I had seen the title 19 admitting that I had been looking at the things on his desk. 20 there must have been more behind it. Whatever it was, it has become a good example of how a little mistake can trap you in a more serious moral corner(道德困境).
If you want to become a fluent English speaker and be good at writing, you should take some advice. There are four skills in learning English which are reading, listening, speaking, and writing. The most important thing you must bear in mind is that reading and listening are inputs whereas speaking and writing are outputs. In other words, if you want to improve your speaking and writing skills you should first master the skills of reading and listening.
Read as much as you can. But your reading must be active. It means that you must think about the structure, unfamiliar words etc. as you read. There is no need that you pay attention to grammar or try to understand all the unfamiliar words you come across, but the fact that you see them for the first time and recognise them whenever you see them, for example, in other passages or books, is enough. It would be better to prepare yourself a notebook so you can write down the important words or sentences in it.
As for listening, there are two choices: aside from reading, you can listen every day for about 30 minutes. You can only pay attention to your reading and become skillful at your reading, and then you can catch up on your listening. Since you have lots of inputs in your mind, you can easily guess what the speaker is going to say. This never means that you should not practise listening.
For listening I advise cartoons or some movies that are specially made for children. Their languages are easy and do not contain difficult phrases or slang (俚语) terms. Or if you are good at listening you can listen to VOA or BBC programs broadcast every day. Again the thing to remember is being active in listening and preferably taking some notes.
If you follow these pieces of advice, your speaking and writing will improve automatically (自动地), and you can be sure that with a little effort they will become perfect.
While reading, you'd better stand up
is that they set off very early.
About a hundred yards along the path we came to a deep valley, on the far side of which the path led into some very thick bushes. Rather than push through these, I decided that if we walked along the bottom of this valley we could go up again and rejoin the path on the far side of the bushes.
As I climbed down into the valley a bird flew off a rock on which I had put my hand. On looking at the spot from which the bird had risen I saw two eggs. They were a kind that I did not have in my collection. So I placed them carefully in my bag, wrapping them in dry grass.
As we went further down the valley, the sides became steeper(陡峭)and not far from where I had entered it came to a drop of about twelve to fourteen feet. The water that rushed down all these small valleys in the rainy season had worn the rock as glass. As it was too deep to climb down, I handed my gun to one of the men and slid down it. My feet had hardly touched the sandy bottom when two men jumped down, one on each side of me. They quickly gave me the gun and asked me if I had heard the tiger. In fact, I had heard nothing, possibly because of the noise I made sliding down the rock. The men said they had heard a tiger growling(吼)somewhere nearby, but they did not know from which direction the noise had come.
