1 高中英语背诵美文高中英语背诵美文 Time Is Money Time is money This saying means that time is very valuable But time is more valuable than money The money we have lost can be gained again but the time we have wasted cannot be regained Moreover sometimes persons can exist without money but nothing can be done without time just as no one can live without air Despite being so valuable time is often neglected by men Since time is an invisible thing men often waste their time unconsciously 无意地 Without anything to do they may gossip from morning till night Man can live only at most to about 100 years It seems fairly long but in fact it is rather short We often say How quickly time flies How many things can a man accomplish in such a short period Hence we should use the valuable time properly to do our work We will race with it We will study and work hard Never waste a little bit of it Try to Be a Good Student Perhaps it is the dream of everyone to be a good student at school but quite a few students feel at a loss on how to make it In my opinion it is rather easy if you can act on the following points First of all make full use of your time and work hard Don t put off till tomorrow what should be done today as time past will never come back The fast developing society requires adequate knowledge which presses us to spare no efforts to study Of course your hard work will be rewarded one day Secondly use your own head and present your point of view Credulous 轻信的 attitude will only make you take anything for granted With your own judgment you will be able to tell right from wrong and set up your own theory Thirdly set aside enough time for relaxation entertainment etc don t ignore the harm of all work and no play Proper sports will build up your body and improve the efficiency of your studying To be a good student is easier said than done for it needs a student s consistent efforts But nothing is difficult to a man if he puts his heart into it Natural Resources Nature has provided us with many kinds of resources Almost everything we use in our everyday life comes from Nature The food we eat the water we drink the clothes we wear the concrete and bricks to build our houses the materials to make bikes we ride etc all come originally from Nature 2 People have been making use of these natural supplies for thousands of years With the development of technology and the increase of the population the amount and range of materials taken has increased It is estimated that this tread will continue in the years to come However natural resources are not in exhaustible Some resources are already nearly used up For example the end of the world s fuel is already within sight Such an essential daily item as water is in short supply in many parts of the world We can no longer thoughtlessly use the many resources provided by Nature We must learn to conserve what remains We Have Only One World When industries grow pollution also grows Today the problem of environment has become more and more important The world population is rising so quickly that the world has become too crowded We are using up our natural resources too quickly and at the same time we are polluting our environment with dangerous chemicals If we don t take action immediately then we will destroy our only world Man has made great progress in environment protection Government of many countries has established laws to protect the forest and sea resource and to stop the environmental pollution Still more measures should be taken to solve the problem First we should start by educating the public about the hazards of pollution The government on its part should also design stricter laws This is not only for our own generation but also for the future generation to come It is necessary to protect our nature environment We must begin now to protect our only world Make The Best Use of Our Land It is the land that has been providing us with everything we need for centuries In other words almost everything we use daily comes from the land directly or indirectly The food clothes houses even the books and furniture are all supplied by the land But the limited land is decreasing at a surprising speed With the expanding of the cities the development of the industry and over population lots of large pieces of good farmland are being turned into residential areas with many houses and apartment buildings or industrial areas or warehouses Therefore some measures must be taken to stop the abusing of our farmland On the other hand we should let everyone realize the danger of being short of land And also we should educate them how to make better use of our land Health It is said that we do not properly value a thing until we have lost it It is only when a friend dies that we find out how much he was to us So it is with health When we are young and strong and have good health we think little about it It seems natural to us to be always well and we cannot imagine what it is like to be ill We are often careless about our health and without 3 thinking we spoil our health by bad habits and doing silly things It is only when we have our good health that we find that it was one of God s best gifts to us Health is our most important possession We should do our best to maintain it Good health is necessary to happiness and success People who are in poor health are often pessimistic or depressed As a rule bad health means misery and failure How can we keep our health Only by knowing and carefully obeying the laws of health A happy man is a healthy man and only the healthy man can live a happy life The desire for good health is universal Everyone who loves life understands how important health is First good health is the guarantee for enjoying life The only desire of a patient is always to live an ordinary and healthy life Second good health establishes a firm foundation for your ambition of the career Without it any lofty aspiration turns to be a daydream Then how to keep fit Everyone has his own answers to this question while I think three principal suggestions should be followed The first one is that a scientific diet should be adopted which offers the necessities for your body The second one is that physical exercises must be persisted especially for the indoor people The last but not the least is that the cheerful mood should be kept In order to keep fit I force myself to keep away from the junk food although it usually tastes good I even form a good habit of doing morning exercises And the beautiful music and good books always cheer me up Sports and Games Sports and games do a lot of good to our health They can make us strong prevent us from getting too fat and keep healthy and fit Especially they can be of great value to people who work with their brains most of the day for sports and games give people valuable practice in exercising the body What s more they make our life richer and more colourful If we do not have a strong body we will find it hard to do whatever we want So persons of all ages enjoy watching and taking part in various kinds of sports track and fields swimming skating football volleyball and basketball etc Sports and games are also very useful in character training They demand not only physical skills and strength but also courage endurance discipline and usually teamwork For boys and girls what is learned in the playground often has a deep effect on their character If each of them learns to work for his team and not for himself on the football field he will later find it natural to work for the good of his country instead of only for his own benefit A healthy citizen makes a strong country Let s all take part in sports and games 4 Smoking It is well known that smoking does harm to the health Today so many people still keep smoking which has drawn wide attention of the society Smoking has so many disadvantages but no advantages at all First the cigarettes with nicotine in them do great harm to the health Such diseases as pneumonia lung cancer may be caused or partly caused by them Furthermore the bad effects of cigarettes cost the smokers lots of money which could be spent on other meaningful things Thirdly the accidents of fire all over the world every year are mostly caused by the still burning butts end The government has formulated the regulation of no smoking in public places Yet its result is not so satisfactory From my point of view it needs the common efforts of the society Not only the nonsmokers but the smokers should cooperate on this matter Live in the City or in the Country Where do you like to live in the city or in the country Most cities are centers of economy trade transportation or culture With the development of economy and society more and more people have flooded into the cities which makes the scale of the cities larger and larger Surely it is very convenient for shopping education business and so on But it also has many disadvantages the large population makes it crowded in each corner of the city the big factories too many cars buses and trucks pollute the clean air too much noise can make people mad To live in the city one even can t get enough room for living To live in the country is another thing You can breathe the fresh air cheerfully own a spacious house with a big backyard and relax yourself in quietness But when you want to go shopping or take your child to school perhaps you will complain about its inconvenient transportation its remoteness I am an ordinary person I am always longing for the peaceful idyllic 田园诗般的 life of the countryside Is Failure a Bad Thing Failure is a common occurrence happening in our daily life Whatever we do there are always two possible results success or failure Although everyone wants to succeed in what he tries sometimes failure can t be avoided Different people hold different attitudes towards failure When faced with it some can stand up to it draw a useful lesson from it and try their best to fulfill what they are determined to do Others however lose heart and give in They do nothing but complain about themselves and objective conditions As a popular saying goes Failure teaches success In my opinion what really counts is not the failure itself but the proper attitude we should take after it I trust that as long as we keep to what is right and correct what is wrong that is to say learn a lesson from failure we will be certain to succeed So I am of the opinion that failure is not a bad thing 5 My Mother s Birthday The sixth of August was my mother s birthday My father and I wanted to give her surprising birthday presents On their mothers birthday I know some of my classmates are going to help their mothers with housework others are going to the shop and buy some flowers for their mothers In the morning my father and I went shopping and bought a very nice cake Then we went to the market and bought some food When we got home my father cooked some nice food in the kitchen I went to my room to make a birthday card I wanted to say to my mother that I loved her very much Then I wrote in the card I love you my dear mother I put it on her pillow then we cleaned the room We felt very tired but we were very happy My mother got home We said Happy Birthday My mother smiled We had our supper together My mother said Thank you my daughter How happy we were The Value Of Time I always think there is not enough time For example I have just taken a three day holiday But when I look back I just feel that it s only one day There goes a proverb Time is money Now I want to say time is more precious than money because when money is spent we can earn some more again However when time is gone or lost never will it return Time goes without being noticed The time for our study and work is usually limited So I think we must make full use of our time But it s a pity that I am always not aware of the importance of time until it s too late So I think I should get into the good habit of saving time because wasting time is equal to wasting one s life Do not put off what can be done today till tomorrow Environment Environmental problems are as big as not for individual country or individual people to address In other word we have reached the stage that environmental problems be solved for international view To what extent do you agree or disagree In recent years many nations have become more aware of the environmental issues each nation faces such as air and water pollution The question is are the environmental issues a national problem or an international problem It is my belief that the environmental issues have grown to the point of becoming an international problem needing international cooperation to resolve Because of the differences in environmental policies resources and technology international cooperation could provide quicker results and have a greater impact on bringing resolution to environmental problems for nations of differing environmental policies and of lesser resources and technology By pooling international resources and technology to address the environmental problems the disadvantaged nations are provided the assistance needed Otherwise their environmental conditions deteriorate ultimately affecting the resources and environment of the world as a whole 6 Self introduction Teachers good afternoon Allow me to briefly talk about myself My name is Xianning graduated from the south gate of the private secondary schools Tourism now
