In my opinion, the generation gap(代沟) is a result of our"pride"and"prejudice(偏见)".
Since I entered junior high school, my parents and I have had different 1 . Neither they nor I am willing to yield (愿意让步). My mother always starts 2 telling me that, "A child knows nothing about this!", and I often end up saying as a 3 ,"Are you still living in the 20th 4 ?"
As we grow from children into young adults, we have been forming our 5 values and beliefs(价值观和信念) slowly. Given the fact that we are growing up in a century that is quite 6 from the one in which our parents grew up, it is only7 for us to have developed values which are different from those of our parents.
But our parents still always 8 us as little kids. It 9 that they aren't willing to accept the fact that we are growing up. So they have trouble 10 the reality(现实)of it. During adolescence (青春期), we feel a strong need to express 11 , but our parents are often unwilling to listen to us. Instead, they think they are always 12 and we are wrong according to their experience. Why is it 13 that they are unable to open their hearts and communicate more with their children so that their children can feel loved and 14 ?
I think both sides must 15 their pride and prejudice and build equality(平等) and each other's trust. Only in this way will the generation gap be narrowed(变窄).

Times change! The day I heard that the Bright Bookstore was closing, I was sad. The bookstore had been in the neighborhood for 50 years, and was a great place where people could connect through their love of books.
When I met Old Tim, the store's owner, he told me it was difficult to run (运营)a traditional bookstore. Most young people preferred reading e—books and more people bought books online.
Childhood memories came back to me so clearly. A group of us kids often went to the store. We looked at the new books, or just talked with Tim. We spent hours reading there. Tim encouraged us to share our ideas by writing them on a large board.
A few months later, I was back and was surprised to see that the Bright Bookstore was still open for business. It was still old, but inside it was like a different world. In an area, a book reading was going on. Nearby, some readers were sharing their ideas on a screen instead of the large board. Some were reading on computers. It even had a coffee shop selling nice food. Clearly, the Bright Bookstore was in good, creative hands.
Tim told me that there were more community events in the coffee shop such as book readings and even concerts and movie nights. The bookstore was turned into a place where the book lovers got together and shared ideas and experiences.
"Well, as you can see, technology and creativity have brought my old bookstore into the 21st century! I'm so glad to see that everything I wanted it to offer to the community is still here," said Tim.
No matter how times change, there are always people who love reading. With the development of technology, traditional bookstores should also change in a creative way.
Plunk!(啪) I dropped another pecan(山核桃) into my basket. Then a gentle autumn wind blew some more off the tree. I ran to pick them up. Whew! Pecan picking was hard. My basket was only half full.
I was visiting my grandpa's farm in Kansas, and grandpa sent me into the woods to pick up pecans for us to enjoy later. I wasn't about to let him down(让他失望).
Then something caught my eye: a squirrel(松鼠)picked up a pecan, climbed up a tree and disappeared into a large hole. A moment later, the squirrel climbed down to the ground to pick another pecan. Once again, he took the pecan back to his secret hiding place inside the hollow(洞) of the tree.
Not so secret anymore, I thought. I ran over to the tree and found the hollow was filled with sweet pecans. They were right there for the taking. This was my chance. Handful by handful, I took all the pecans from the hollow. Now the basket was full!
I was so proud of myself. I couldn't wait to show grandpa all of the pecans I'd collected."Look, Grandpa," I shouted, "look at all of the pecans I found!"
Grandpa took a look at my basket. "Well, well, how did you find so many, Jimmy? "I told him how I'd followed the squirrel and taken the pecans from his hiding place. Grandpa congratulated(祝贺)me on finding out something about the squirrel's habits. Then he did something that surprised me. He handed the basket back to me and put his arm gently around my shoulders(肩)."That squirrel worked very hard to collect his winter food, " he said. "Now that all of his pecans are gone, don't you think that little squirrel will be very hungry when it gets cold?"
"I didn't think about that," I said.
"I know, " Grandpa said. "But a good man should never take advantage of someone else's hard work, even the squirrel's."
Suddenly I felt as hollow as that old tree. The image(形象) of that hungry squirrel wouldn't leave my mind. There was only one thing I could do.

Earth is our home. What should we students do to save our Earth?
Use reusable bags.
When you're getting ready to leave the grocery store, a commonly asked question in the checkout line is this: "Paper or plastic?" In reality, whatever you're choosing between paper and plastic, no matter your intentions (意图), you're still choosing "wrong".
Recycle.
Recycling is such a simple thing to do. Instead of throwing recyclables in the trash with your non— recyclables, take an extra step to put recycling cans around your schools.
Save electricity!
Use energy—efficient light bulbs (节能灯泡) instead of regular bulbs. They last longer, which will save you a bit of money too.
Save water.
Water is wasted more often than we can see. Turn off the faucet (水龙头) as you are brushing your teeth.Limit your water usage as you wash dishes. Changing old habits will be quite good for the environment.
Walk or cycle.
So walk or use your bicycle if the journey is a short one.
It's high time each and every one of us took action. Let's do it together!
A. Because there's a better choice: a reusable grocery bag. B. Make sure you turn off lights, the TV, and other appliances when you are not using them. C. I often walk or ride a bicycle instead of driving. D. Driving is one of the biggest causes of pollution. E. Here are five little things we can do. F. Don't turn your shower on until you're ready to get in and wash your hair. |
Animals play so many important roles in our lives. Some, like cows and sheep, provide us with food; pets are our friends; other animals work for us. Above all, every animal —— big or small —— can fill us with a sense of the wonder of the natural world.
Unluckily, we don't always value this. Many animals are endangered because of our actions, and millions of animals in the world are badly treated. World Animal Day reminds us, at least for one day a year, "to celebrate animal life in all its forms" and "to be thankful for the way in which animals enrich(使丰富)our lives."
World Animal Day was started in 1931 in Florence, Italy. It made us pay attention to the problem of endangered animals around the world. It is now celebrated in most countries around the world. The day falls on October 4th every year.
All over the world on this day, volunteers raise money for animal centers and social organizations. Museums and zoos organize special events. Schools have also joined animal projects. No matter what is done, the idea is to remind us of the importance of animals and to show us how we could improve our relationship with animals.
If you want to take part, you could help an animal or organize a money—raising event for a local charity. The important thing is just taking an active part. We should offer animals as much as they offer us.
Animals are important in our lives. They offer us , friendship, help and a sense of the wonder of the natural world. However, our actions make many kinds of animals in danger, and we treat millions of animals. World Animal Day reminds us to be thankful to animals. It was started in 1931 to draw people's attention to the of endangered animals. Now World Animal Day is celebrated on October 4th every year. On this day, many activities are held to how to improve the relationship between humans and animals. So let 's just be to take part and offer animals as much as they offer us.
Embroidery (刺绣)is an important traditional art f in Chinese culture. The most famous embroidery styles (风格) are Su embroidery from Suzhou, Shu embroidery from Sichuan, Xiang embroidery from Hunan and Yue embroidery from Guangdong. Shu embroidery has (long) history of all.
Since modern machines can make cheaper embroidery (produce) today, fewer people buy hand—made Shu embroidery ones. There are also very few young embroideries. The skill is danger.
Meng Dezhi, a national—level inheritor(传承人) of the art form, has made Shu embroidery for forty years. She used to (work) at the Chengdu Shu Embroidery Factory. But in 2006, the factory went broke and Meng lost her job. To save the art, Meng volunteered (teach) Shu embroidery to others. So she opened her own workshop.
Embroidery takes time and patience. Workers need to d each silk thread(线) into more than ten or even thirty pieces. Each piece is thinner than a single human hair. What hard work it is! In 2016,Baidu sent Meng an invitation to make a homepage logo for Qixi Festival. It was a small logo, it required the use of 45 kinds of sewing techniques (针法) and 35,000 stitches (针).
Meng is teaching in different universities and communities to save Shu embroidery. Often,videos of making Shu embroidery ( share) by her online and they interest many people. She believes that Shu embroidery stand for thousands of years of Sichuan culture and we should protect it with lot of hard work. "I feel that I have the responsibility(责任) to pass on Shu embroidery skills to young people, to let it run from generation(一代人) to generation," She said.
