Nowadays, some young students waste time doing something useless. Some of them pass much of their time in front of the television. Others spend their time1computer games.
In fact, youth(青春) is a precious(珍贵的) gift and a golden time in our life. It will not last forever. When we are younger, we'd better learn more. We should try our best to learn as much knowledge as possible. Remember, time is the most precious thing in the world 2 can't be won again. Just as the saying goes "Time is money." 3can call back yesterday. Once it is gone, it will never return. It's true that we don't know how important it is 4we lose it. So we must value(珍惜) time and make full use of it to do5.
Some young people6 their work till the day after tomorrow. 7, they will never finish their work on time. But why should we finish our work today? What a difference will it make if we do it tomorrow? Here is the reason. If we 8today's work till tomorrow, we will have more for tomorrow, even for the day after tomorrow. So why not9 it today? Every minute counts. Instead, when time is lost, we cannot get it back. We have to develop a habit of saving time instead of spending time uselessly. Remember that if a man in youth does not do his best, he will feel very10when he is very old. So please value time and work hard from now on!
If you don't know where to go with your kids when you have time in the UK, I think I can give you some help.
|
The Natural History Museum Why to go: This is really the "grandfather" of all London museums. The beautiful building and the wonderful exhibitions(展览) make it one of the country's best places for kids. Try not to go on weekends. It is always crowded on weekends. Best for: Children aged three and over |
|
BeWILDerwood Why to go: There are no rides and no fast food shops in BeWILDerwood... just lots of outdoor fun. Designed(设计)by Tom Blofeld, an English children's writer, the park is famous for the amazing things from his books in the UK. There are many craft(手工的)activities for kids. Best for: Babies to early teens |
|
Eden Project Why to go: Do you want to experience the sights(风景), smells and sounds of a rainforest? Do you want to walk through rows of orange trees and lemon trees? You can do all of these without leaving the UK at Eden Project. Children here can learn about the relations between plants and people and learn about different climates(气候)and habitats(栖息地). Best for: Children of all ages |
That day, I felt the world seemed wrong and I came to the park. The park bench(板凳) was free as I sat down. Just then a young boy out of breath ran towards me. He stood right before me with his head down and said with great excitement, "Look at what I found!"
In his hand was a flower, and what a pitiful(可怜的) sight(景象), with its petals(花瓣) all worn(磨损)— not enough rain, or too little light. Wanting him to take his dead flower and go off to play, I nodded.
But he sat next to me and smelt the flower. He said with surprise, "It surely smells pretty and it's beautiful, too. That's why I picked it. Here, it's for you. "The flower before me was dying or dead. But I knew I must take it, or he might never leave. So I reached for the flower, and replied, "Just what I need."
But instead of placing the flower in my hand, he held it in the air. It was then that I noticed for the first time that the boy could not see. He was blind.
I was very surprised. I thanked him for picking the best one. "You are welcome, " he smiled, and then ran off to play.
Through the eyes of a blind child, at last I could see the problem was not with the world. The problem was me. And for all of those times I myself had been blind.
And then I held that flower up to my nose and breathed in the smell of a beautiful rose.
When you cut your skin, you bleed(流血). If a person loses a lot of blood, he will become ill and may die. Blood is very important. People have always known that. At one time, some people even drank blood to make them strong!
When doctors understand how blood goes around inside the body, they try ways of giving blood to people who need it. They take blood from the healthy people and give it to the people who need it. This is called "blood transfusion". The blood goes from the arm of the healthy person into the arm of the sick person.
But there are two problems. First, it does not always work. Sometimes people die when they have blood transfusion. Later, doctors find that we do not all have the same kind of blood. There are four groups—O, A, B and AB. We all have blood of one of these groups. They should give people the right kind of blood. I have O group blood and the doctor told me I could give blood to anyone else safely.
There is another problem. To give blood of the right kind, doctors have to find a person of the right blood group. Often they cannot find a person in time. If they have a way to keep the blood until someone needs it, they can always have the right kind of blood. At first, they find they can keep it in bottles for fifteen to twenty days. Then they find how to keep it longer. In the end, they find a way of keeping blood for a very long time.
After a long, relaxing and comfortable holiday, are you ready for the new term? Whether you feel excited to see your classmates or maybe a little nervous about the coming schoolwork, heading back to school is a time of transition(过渡). Here are some ways to make the transition from holiday to school a little easier.
It's perfectly normal to feel nervous on the first day of school. So how can we deal with being nervous? Just think about your first day in previous years. Everything will go well once you get into the routine(常规). Just relax and be patient.
Start your school-year schedule(计划；安排）
If you went to bed and got up late during the holiday, you will have to change your body clock back to normal. Go to bed earlier the week before classes start.
It makes you feel organized(有条理的）if you are prepared and have all the things you need. It is better to pack your schoolbag on the night before school starts.
Back to school fashion
For example, if you have to wear a school uniform, you can wear your favorite watch or a new hair band to show your personal style.
All in all, it's necessary to learn to get used to your school life.

One can own a book in two ways. The first is to pay for it, just as you pay for clothes or food. But full ownership (所有权) comes only when you have made it a part of yourself. The best way to make yourself a part of it is by writing in it.
There are three kinds of owners. The first has all the best sellers, but he or she reads none of them. The second has a lot of books. But most of them are as clean as on the day they were bought. The third has a few dog—eared (翻折的) books, which are marked (做标记) from front to back.
Why is marking a book necessary? First, it keeps you awake. And reading is thinking. Second, writing helps you remember the thoughts you had. Also, writing helps us remember the thoughts the writer expressed (表达).
o someone who has something
a not sleeping
The first has all the best sellers, but he or she reads none of them.

There are many different kinds of traffic punishment (惩罚) in the world and some of them sound very interesting. In Indonesia, if a driver doesn't follow the traffic rules, he will get a fine (罚金) first. Then he must have his hair cut. In Colombia, if a driver doesn't follow the traffic rules, he has to go to the cinema to see lots of movies about terrible traffic accidents. In the USA, the driver must work as a nurse if he doesn't follow the traffic rules, and he has to look after the people who were hurt in the accident in the hospital.
