Trees are one of our best friends. They help keep the air clean, stop noise pollution, improve water quality and provide food and building materials.
Just like us, trees change a lot as they grow. At one to three years old, young trees learn how to protect themselves. For example, many trees grow thorns (刺) to warn animals not to go near.
When trees are four years old they begin to grow very quickly and become strong enough to face challenges later in life. At the age of 15, trees become young adults. They grow more slowly and begin to produce flowers and fruit.
The tree doesn't become a real adult until it is 20 to 25 years old. The tree reaches its largest size. Not only does the adult tree give us shade (树荫), oxygen (氧气) and natural beauty, it is also a great place for a tree house, or a place for us to read a book, listen to music or drink tea. If the adult tree receives proper care, it may continue to live healthily for over 100 years.
Gradually, trees begin to grow older and older and even die. At this time, they still have their important place in nature. Even though a tree becomes hollow or part of it becomes dead, it can provide a home for small animals.
In many ways, the life of a tree is similar to our own life experience. When looking at the life of a tree, we learn that each period of life brings its own form of joy. Enjoy every minute of it and take care of the trees!
There are seabirds as well as land-birds. The most ordinary seabird is the seagull(海鸥). It has a white body, a white head, and a yellow beak(喙). There is a spot of red at the very end of the beak. All gulls have very strong wings so that they can fly far out to sea. If a gull flies out too far, and is too tired to fly back to the shore(海滨), it does not get scared, for it can sit and rest upon the waves(海浪). A seagull's wings do not get wet because all its feathers(羽毛) have a kind of oil over them, so that when the water gets on to the feathers it just runs off again. Seagulls can even sleep on the waves. Seamen know a lot about seagulls and they never kill them. When the seagulls fly a long way out to sea, seamen say that it means fine weather is coming. When the seagulls stay near the shore, seamen say that there will be much wind and rain, and perhaps a storm, for the seagulls know more about the weather than seamen do.
Have you ever been angry with yourself when you forget something important? Maybe you think you have a bad memory, do you know your memory can be developed? Here are some ways for you to have a try.
★Be positive(积极的). Do not tell yourself your memory is bad, or your mind will believe it and you won't remember things easily. If you think you can, then you can.
★Relax yourself. People are too nervous to remember things well. Relaxing will help you a lot. Take deep breath and you can remember things easily.
★Think more. Things you know may help you to remember something new. For example, when you remember the word "classroom", think of the old words "class" and "room", it will help you remember quickly.
★Do more practice. Like your body, memory can be improved through exercise. The more times you practice, the more easily you will remember something.
★Eat healthy food. Healthy eating can improve your memory. It is reported that fish is good for improving memory, so try to eat more fish from now on.
Why is setting goals important? Because goals can help you do and experience everything you want in life. Instead of just letting life happen to you, goals allow yourself to make your life happen.
Successful people in life imagine how their life should be and set lots of goals. It's like having a sign to show you where you want to go. Think of it in this way. There are two drivers. One has a place to go to clearly in mind which can be found on a map. He can drive straight there surely without any wasted time. The other driver has no goal or a map. But he drives aimlessly (漫无目的地) around, never getting anywhere, just using up gas and oil. Which driver do you want to be?
They decide what they want in life and then get there by making plans and setting goals. Unsuccessful people just let life happen by accident. Goals aren't difficult to set, and they aren't difficult to reach. You are the ones who must achieve them.
Research tells us that when we write a goal down we are more possible to achieve it. They are harder to forget. Also when you write your goals in a particular way, you are able to make yourself realize situations that will bring you nearer to your goals.
A. Written goals can be reviewed usually. B. He starts off at the same time from the same place. C. It's up to you to find out what your goals really are. D. By setting goals you are taking control of your life. E. Winners in life set goals and follow through on them. |
At the moment, it may be difficult to imagine, but many people believe that, by the year 2100, we will live on the planet Mars(火星). Our own planet, Earth, is becoming more and more crowded and polluted. Luckily, we can start again and build a better world on Mars. Here is what life could be like.
First of all, transport (交通)should be much better. At present(目前), our spaceships are too slow to carry large numbers of people to Mars — it takes months. However, by 2100, spaceships can travel at half the speed of light. It might take us two or three days to get to Mars!
Secondly, humans need food, water and air to live on. Scientists should be able to develop plants that can be grown on Mars. These plants will produce the food and air that we need. However, can these plants produce water for us? There is no answer now.
There is a problem for us to live on Mars. Mars pulls us much less than the Earth does. This will be dangerous because we can easily jump too high and fly slowly away into space. To prevent this, humans on Mars have to wear special shoes to make themselves heavier.
Life on Mars will be better than that on Earth in many ways. People will have more space. Living in a large building with only 10 bedrooms is highly possible. Many people believe that robots will do most of our work, so we have more time for our hobbies.
There will probably be no school on Mars. Every student will have a computer at home which is connected to the Internet. They can study, do their homework and take exams in online schools. Each student will also have their own online teacher called "e-teacher".
However, in some ways, life on Mars may not be better than that on the earth today. Food will not be the same — meals will probably be in the form of pills and will not be as delicious as they are today. Also, space travel will make many people feel ill. The spaceship will travel fast but the journey to Mars will probably be very uncomfortable.
