人类人口过快的增长,社会过快的发展使地球不堪重负。所幸,人们已意识到这一点,开始行动起来拯救地球,也就是拯救自己。此文证据虽然充足,结尾却有些分量局限性。ﻫ[参考译文]

拯救地球ﻫ

地球的人口增长不久。人类要使地球可以养活众多的人口,就得迅速发展工农业。由于工农业的迅速发展,即能产生出越来越多的废弃物,这些废弃物流进水里,渗入到土壤中,散发进空气中。其中的有些是无害的。然而,在废弃物太多的地方,有毒的东西会对周边的物和人有害。ﻫ

农民为了让庄稼地茂盛,给地里施肥,为了杀死害虫,往地里喷药,这个时候,有毒的气体就会散发到空气中,水里和上壤里。当鸟、鱼以及人们吃这些粮食,饮用这些水,呼吸空气时,就对他们的健康导致危害。

大城市的空气经常被汽车和工厂弄得很糟。成千上万吨的废物和有毒气体随烟散发到空气中,有些地方,主线就不做净化解决,直接让它排到空气中。ﻫ

可庆幸的是,人们已渐渐对此严重的形势有所结识。有些国家还颁布了法令来阻止工厂向外排放毒气。ﻩNatural

大自然为我们提供了一切,但是大自然的资源在逐渐减少,所以我们必须行动起来保护资源。每个人都清楚这一点,但要用英语将此情况描述出来并不一定轻而易举。此文是一篇好范例。ﻫ[参考译文]

自然资源ﻫ

大自然给我们提供了各种资源。我们平常生活中几乎所有的东西都来自大自然。我们吃的粮,喝的水,穿的衣,建房用的水泥、砖,生产自行车用的材料等,都来源于大自然。

人们对大自然的运用有几千年的历史。随着技术的进步,人口的增长,自然资源的用量和范围都急剧增长。据估计这种趋势将与日俱增。ﻫ

然而,自然资源并非取之不尽,用之不竭。有些资源几乎已接近枯竭。例如,燃料资源匮乏已近在眼前。许多地方平常生活所必需的水已经供不应求。我们已不能再不加思考地使用大自然所赐予我们的资源了。我们必须学会保存那些剩余的资源。The

[点评]

作者强调了时间的珍贵性,并劝告每个人应尽也许多地运用时间多做些事情,不要养成懒惰的习惯。论点虽然有些道理,但不够全面,将看电影等娱乐放松活动当做无用的浪费时间之事,似乎有些偏激。ﻫ[参考译文]

时间的价值ﻫ

谁也不知道时间是什么样子,由于我们既看不见它,也摸不着它。时间是抽象的东西,我们只能凭脑子去想像它。

但是我们的确知道时间流逝得不久。然而,有些学生却不知道时间的价值,也不知道如何充足运用时间,他们把时间浪费在看电影、玩游戏和其他一些无聊的事情上。我们为什么一大早要去上学呢?火车为什么跑得那么快?为什么大多数人愿乘汽车而不愿步行办事呢?答案非常简朴:我们想节约时间,由于时间非常宝贵。

如今我们生活在20世纪,我们知道时间就是生命。当一个人去世的时候,他所有的时间便用完了。既然生命短暂,我们必须把时间和精力用于学习,以便为祖国和人民服务;但由于时间是看不见的,我们经常忽视它。懒惰是时间的盗贼,它不仅给我们带来许多危害,也会使我们失败。假如今天我们有什么要做的工作,让我们就把它做完,不要拖到明天。记住时间比金钱更宝贵。The

信心的重要

不管人们做什么事情,均应有信心。假如一个人毫无信心,要想取得任何成功几乎是不也许的,特别当他碰到挫折和困难时。这个真理似乎是不言而喻的。然而,在现实生活中,我们的确碰到许多人抱怨说他们缺少做事情的能力,或者抱怨说他们碰到的困难太艰巨以致难以克服。对一些人来说,这或许是事实,但对大多数人来说,这只能说明他们失去了信心。ﻫ

为什么有些人虽然可以做某件事却经常感到气馁丧气呢,这里有两个重要因素。一方面,这些人对自己没有对的的估计。另一方面,他们高估了困难。ﻫ

通过对的地结识自己的能力树立信心是也许的。我们决不能低估自己的能力,我们应当相信“有志者事竟成。”这句谚语。信心是成功地完毕一项任务的前提。Wealth

在人的一生中失败是常事。几乎每个人在一生中都失败过。当一个人打算做某事失败时,他经常感到沮丧。有些人会屈服于失败而畏缩不前。而此外一个人却坚持不懈并取得最后成功。

成功是人人都期待的,成功可以使人成名、荣耀。当一个人在做某事时成功了,他是那么快乐以致经常忽略了他曾经做过的那些没有成功的事情。

正如俗话所说,“失败是成功之母。”失败是走向成功的重要因素,这是毫无疑问的。成功的道路上充满各种困难和障碍。许多重要的发明和发现是通过数百次失败才成功的。只有通过许多次失败后取得的成功才是真正有价值和值得称赞的。ﻩﻩﻩﻩ ﻩﻩﻩ ﻩ ﻩ ﻩﻩ现在人们自私和贪欲,你批准不批准这种观点?NowadaysPeopleAreSelfishandGreedy."DoYouAgreeorDisagreewithThisPointofView?

疾病、伤害、真正伟大时刻的错失、以及做了一些愚蠢至极的事情,所有这些事情的出现都是在考验你灵魂的极限。没有这些小的考验,无论是什么考验,你的生活将会像一条通向碌碌无为的平坦之路。

它也许是安全而舒适的,但也是枯燥和毫无意义的。ﻫ

假如某些人伤害了你,背叛了你或者是刺痛了你的心,请原谅他们,由于是他们帮助你学会什么叫信任,帮助你懂得谨慎对待你最交心的人。ﻫ

爱惜每一天。爱惜每一刻,并且带走每一刻所能得到的东西,由于你再也不也许反复这个过程了。跟那些你历来没有说过话的人说话,并且倾听他们的话语。ﻫ

[点评]

文章首段讲了在当今的商业社会里,钱对大人都是个问题,何况孩子呢。第二段告诉我们儿童及青少年时期的生活方式将影响他的一生,所以在随后的几段里,作者建议我们给孩子一定量的零花钱,但要教会他们如何花钱以及钱不是万能的道理。文章构思巧妙,布局合理,思绪清楚,论述连贯。ﻫ[参考译文]ﻫ父母应当给孩子零花钱吗?

我们生活在商业社会。我们用的每样东西都是商品。
