英語作文 篇1

　　From time immemorial, food contamination has become a common phenomenon in China, ranging from poisonous milk power to the plasticizers in huge quantities of Taiwan-manufactured beverages and food exported to the mainland. The public has experienced so many crises of food contamination that only the most deadly cases would create some sensations, which soon pass into oblivion with the quick occurrence of new ones.

　　Food contamination is indisputably detrimental. The poisonous milk power has bereaved many young couples of their innocent and lovely new babes. Some contaminated foods lead to irreversible and chronic diseases. Some affected individuals, though without visible aftermaths, may suffer from lingering psychological trauma. However, the hazards produced by food contamination are more moral than physiological—with contamination cases cropping up here and there, the credibility of the entire society has been ruined and people find nothing and nobody to be trustworthy.

　　Technically, food contamination is caused by the introduction of illegal additives and non-edible chemical substances into the manufactured food. Morally, it results from the sheer drive for profitability by gluttonous merchants who use cheaper, and often harmful, substitutes, all at the expense of the physical welfare of the public. To address the problem, some appeal to the moral conscience of the businessmen. But the high frequency at which contamination cases have happened makes this moral appeal feeble and futile. The ultimate solution lies in law—the profit-minded businessmen would not have a penitent heart unless they are driven to bankruptcy and taken into jail!

　　論大學(xué)生做推銷

　　On College Students Doing Sales Promotion

　　Nowadays, there are an increasing number of college students who are doing sales promotion. On the weekends, when you are sleeping or reading, you will be disturbed by their knocks on the door. The commodities they promote cover a variety of items, such as toothbrush, shampoo, pens, notebooks, etc.

　　Different people hold different views on this phenomenon. As for me, I am against it for two reasons. One reason is that their frequent unwelcome visits in my spare time make me annoyed and my quiet life disturbed. The other is that many of the commodities they sell to us are fake ones and in bad quality.

　　To sum up, I do not like this way of sales-promotion. If I were in their position, I would not have bothered other schoolfellows. It is better for them to find a part-time job in a store and broaden their experience through the contact with potential customers.

　　閱讀材料

　　James Bender， in his book How to Talk Well tells the story of a farmer who grew award-winning corn. Each year he won a blue ribbon. One year a newspaper reporter interviewed him and learned something interesting about how he grew it.

　　The reporter discovered that the farmer shared his seed corn with his neighbors. How can you afford to share your best seed corn with your neighbors when they are entering corn in competition with yours each year？ the reporter asked. Why， said the farmer， didnt you know？ The wind picks up pollen（花粉） from the ripening corn and carries it from field to field. If my neighbors grow bad corn， cross-pollination（異花受粉） will slowly reduce the quality of my corn. If I am to grow good corn， I must help my neighbors grow good corn.

　　He is very much aware of the connectedness of life. His corn cannot improve unless his neighbors corn also improves. The lesson for each of us is this： If we are to grow good corn， we must help our neighbors grow good corn.

英語作文 篇7

　　Again, when you have married your wife, you would think you were got upon a hilltop, and might begin to go downward by an easy slope. But you have only ended courting to begin marriage. Falling in love and winning love are often difficult tasks to overbearing and rebellious spirits; but to keep in love is also a business of some importance, to which both man and wife must bring kindness and goodwill. The true love story commences at the altar, when there lies before the married pair a most beautiful contest of wisdom and generosity, and a life-long struggle towards an unattainable ideal. Unattainable? Ay, surely unattainable, from the very fact that they are two instead of one.

英語作文 篇9

　　Spotlight on obese kids！

　　Children are getting so fat they may be the first generation to die before their parents, an expert claimed yesterday.

　　Today's youngsters are already falling prey to potential killers such as diabetes because of their weight.

　　Fatty fast-food diets combined with sedentary lifestyles dominated by televisions and computers could mean kids will die tragically young, says Professor Andrew Prentice, from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.

　　At the same time, the shape of the human body is going through a huge evolutionary shift because adults are getting so fat.

　　Here in Britain, latest research shows that the average waist size for a man is 36-38in and may be 42-44in by 20xx. This compares with only 32.6in in 1972.

　　Women's waists have grown from an average of 22in in 1920 to 24 ins in the Fifties and 30in now.

　　One of the major reasons why children now are at greater risk is that we are getting fatter younger.

　　In the UK alone, more than one million under-16s are classed as overweight or obese - double the number in the mid-Eighties. One in ten four-year-olds are also medically classified as obese.

　　The obesity pandemic - an extensive epidemic - which started in the US, has now spread to Europe, Australasia, Central America and the Middle East.

　　Many nations now record more than 20 per cent of their population as clinically obese and well over half the population as overweight.

　　Prof Prentice said the change in our shape has been caused by a glut of easily available high-energy foods combined with a dramatic drop in the energy we use as a result of technology developments.

　　He is not alone in his concern. Only last week one medical journal revealed how obesity was fuelling a rise in cancer cases.

　　Obesity also increases the risk factor for strokes and heart disease as well as a diabetes.

　　An averagely obese person's lifespan is shortened by around nine years while a severely obese person by many more.

　　Prof Prentice said: "So will parents outlive their children, as claimed recently by an American obesity specialist?

　　"The answer is yes - and no. Yes, when the offspring become grossly obese. This is now becoming an alarmingly common occurrence in the US.

　　"Such children and adolescents have a greatly reduced quality of life in terms of both their physical and psychosocial health."

　　So say No to that doughnut and burger.

　　現(xiàn)在的孩子們正變得越來越胖，以至于他們可能成為先他們父母而去的第一代。這是一位專家昨天所發(fā)表的觀點(diǎn)。

　　由于過于肥胖，現(xiàn)在的孩子們已經(jīng)變成了一些潛在病魔的獵物，糖尿病就是其中之一。

　　倫敦衛(wèi)生及熱帶醫(yī)學(xué)學(xué)院的安德魯·普倫蒂斯教授認(rèn)為，脂肪含量過高的快餐飲食，加上電視和電腦使得孩子們養(yǎng)成了久坐不動(dòng)的生活方式，極有可能大大縮短年輕一代的壽命。

　　與此同時(shí)，人類的體形正在發(fā)生著革命性的變化，因?yàn)槌扇藗冋�越長越胖。

　　最新的研究表明，1972年，英國男性的平均腰圍僅為32.6英寸，目前是36-38英寸，到20xx年，可能達(dá)到42-44英寸。

　　女性的平均腰圍則從1920年的22英寸增加到50年代的24英寸，現(xiàn)在，則是30英寸。

　　為什么現(xiàn)在的孩子們面臨著比我們更大的危險(xiǎn)呢？原因之一就在于，他們發(fā)胖的年齡比我們早的多。

　　僅僅在英國，就有100多萬16歲以下的兒童被歸為超重或者肥胖一族，比80年代中期多了一倍。每10個(gè)四歲的孩子中就有1個(gè)有醫(yī)學(xué)上的肥胖癥狀。

　　這股源于美國的肥胖風(fēng)正在蔓延開來，現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)傳遍了歐洲，澳大利亞，美洲中部和中東。

　　目前許多國家記錄在案的超重人口已經(jīng)占到總?cè)藬?shù)的一半以上，其中達(dá)到醫(yī)學(xué)上所定義的肥胖的就有20%。

　　普倫蒂斯教授說，導(dǎo)致我們體形變化的原因是，現(xiàn)代生活中高熱量食物隨處可見，隨手可得，而科技的發(fā)展使得人們每天消耗的熱量卻大大減少。

　　并非只有普倫蒂斯教授關(guān)注這一問題。就在上周，某一醫(yī)學(xué)雜志還談到了肥胖對于癌癥的影響問題。

　　肥胖還會增加中風(fēng)、心臟疾病和糖尿病的發(fā)病率。

　　一個(gè)中等肥胖者的壽命將被縮短大約9年，而一個(gè)嚴(yán)重肥胖者受到的影響更大。

　　普倫蒂斯教授說，"是否真的象美國專家預(yù)測的那樣，孩子們的壽命會比他們的父母還短呢？"

　　"答案既是"是"， 也是"不是"。說"是"是因?yàn)槿绻�下一代繼續(xù)"瘋長"，就有可能比他們的父母壽命還短。說"不是"則因?yàn)檫@種現(xiàn)象已經(jīng)引起了美國民眾的警惕。"

　　"過度肥胖者，不管你是是成人還是青少年，你的生活質(zhì)量都會大打折扣，無論在生理上還是心理上。"

　　所以，就讓我們向油炸圈和夾肉餅說"不"吧。

　　英政府機(jī)構(gòu)認(rèn)為應(yīng)給5歲兒童開設(shè)性教育課

　　Children as young as five should have compulsory sex education at school, say Government advisers.

　　Lessons would go far further than teaching the basics, with in-depth discussions for older children on sexually transmitted diseases, contraception and peer pressure to have sex.

　　Primary school children aged five to 11 would be encouraged to discuss their feelings and emotions about sex.

　　The Independent Advisory Groups on Sexual Health and Teenage Pregnancy blame the current system, where schools decide whether to teach sex education to under-11s, for muddled knowledge among most primary pupils.

　　More open, informative and detailed lessons would help tackle high rates of teenage pregnancy, they say.

　　They want legislation to make Personal, Social and Health Education compulsory. It would include sex and relationships, with discussion on topics such as dealing with peer pressure, where to get condoms and how infections such as chlamydia and genital warts are passed on.

　　Younger pupils would focus on the emotional issues associated with relationships, with only secondary pupils getting more detailed information on sexual activity and its consequences.

　　The report, sent to ministers at the Departments of Health and Education, shows teenage pregnancy in Liverpool, Bradford and Hackney, East London, fell after schools there introduced sex education classes. Labour peer Joyce Gould, who chaired the group, said the proposals would not lead to more promiscuity.

　　英政府機(jī)構(gòu)認(rèn)為應(yīng)給5歲兒童開設(shè)性教育必修課

　　英國政府機(jī)構(gòu)日前建議，應(yīng)該讓5歲的小學(xué)生開始接受正規(guī)的性教育課程，鼓勵(lì)他們討論性知識。

　　據(jù)《鏡報(bào)》12月5日報(bào)道，英國政府青少年性健康和懷孕問題獨(dú)立顧問小組撰寫報(bào)告指出，現(xiàn)行的英國性教育體制由學(xué)校自行決定是否向11歲以下的學(xué)生進(jìn)行性教育，這種體制是有損學(xué)生健康和成長的`，應(yīng)當(dāng)予以改革；學(xué)校應(yīng)該給5歲至11歲的小學(xué)生開設(shè)性教育必修課，鼓勵(lì)他們討論性知識。青少年性健康和懷孕問題獨(dú)立顧問小組成員是來自英國醫(yī)療行業(yè)、性行為以及青少年性健康領(lǐng)域的42名專家。

　　該小組建議，學(xué)生的性教育課程應(yīng)不僅僅教授基本的兩性生理和衛(wèi)生知識，而應(yīng)就性行為、性心理進(jìn)行更多深入的討論，例如如何應(yīng)對同伴性要求、如何避孕以及避免性病的傳播等；其中小學(xué)生將被教授如何處理人與人之間的相互關(guān)系，中學(xué)生才會被教授具體的性行為知識和后果。

　　該小組指出，更加開放、豐富和詳細(xì)的性教育課程將改善英國少女懷孕率居高不下的現(xiàn)狀。

　　報(bào)道說，英國每年新增幾十萬少女媽媽。她們中多數(shù)都會把孩子生下來，而其中有一成甚至還不滿16歲。這個(gè)數(shù)字在歐洲高居榜首，更是比公認(rèn)的性開放國家荷蘭高了將近5倍。而瑞典是性教育開展得較成功的國家，從幼兒園開始到高中有一套系統(tǒng)完整的教育內(nèi)容和體系，收到了比較好的效果。

　　自1976年開始，瑞典少女妊娠和人工流產(chǎn)數(shù)字明顯下降，性病和性犯罪發(fā)生率也逐步減少，“未婚母親家庭”幾乎消失。

　　報(bào)道說，青少年性健康和懷孕問題獨(dú)立顧問小組已經(jīng)將這份報(bào)告遞交給了健康教育部。(

　　關(guān)注留守兒童

　　Protecting our children

　　(China Daily)

　　Updated: 20xx-02-29 07:26

　　保護(hù)我們的孩子

　　——關(guān)注留守兒童 來自《中國日報(bào)》

　　If we seriously believe the oft-made claim that children are future of the country, then we truly have something to worry about.

　　如果我們還相信“孩子是祖國的未來”這句被反復(fù)提及的宣言，那么我們是該有一些擔(dān)心了。

　　The All-China Women's Federation (ACWF) report on the conditions of children left behind by parents working away from home paints a grim picture that we cannot afford to understate.

　　全國婦女聯(lián)合會關(guān)于留守兒童（父母在外務(wù)工，兒童留守家中）狀況的報(bào)告為我們描繪了一幅不可等閑視之的慘淡圖景。

　　Many of us have heard about the so-called left-behind children. But not as many people could have anticipated what the ACWF report reveals - more than a quarter of Chinese children who are 17 or younger live apart from one or both of their parents because they are working in places other than in their hometown.

　　許多人都聽到過所謂的留守兒童一詞。但是不會有多少人估計(jì)到全國婦聯(lián)報(bào)告中結(jié)識的真實(shí)狀況——在中國，四分之一以上的17歲以下兒童由于他們的父母一人或全部在異鄉(xiāng)打工而留守家中。

　　This is no small matter. 這并不是一件無足輕重的事情。

　　In the eyes of developmental psychology, the early years of life play an essential part not just in forming one's personality, but also in the acquisition of the knowledge and skills that last a person's entire life. Out of respect for their special vulnerability, children in this age group need particular parental care. Few of those left behind are home alone - most are left in the custody of grandparents - but the separation from their parents will inevitably affect their development in less-than-positive ways.

　　在發(fā)展心理學(xué)看來，青少年時(shí)期對于一個(gè)人性格的形成和知識技能的掌握發(fā)揮著重要的作用并將影響其一生。出于對其心理脆弱特點(diǎn)的考慮，這一時(shí)期的兒童尤其需要父母的關(guān)懷。除了極少數(shù)獨(dú)守家中，大部分留守兒童有他們的祖父母監(jiān)護(hù)，但是遠(yuǎn)離父母仍將不可避免地對他們的成長產(chǎn)生諸多消極的影響。

　　The ACWF has spearheaded a series of initiatives to promote awareness of the situation. Thanks to its persistent endeavors, various countermeasures are now at work in different communities.

　　全國婦聯(lián)已經(jīng)率先開展了一系列活動(dòng)以提高對這種形勢的認(rèn)識。由于他們不懈的努力，許多相似的活動(dòng)已經(jīng)在不同的社團(tuán)開展起來。

　　It is inspiring to see local authorities providing welfare and educational guarantees. Such efforts offer an indispensable compensation for the otherwise unbearable sense of loss these youngsters must cope with as a result of living without parental care.

　　鼓舞人心的是許多地區(qū)政府正在努力為他們提供生活和教育方面的保障。這些努力對于這些留守兒童因遠(yuǎn)離父母而造成的難以承受的缺失感也是一種必要的慰籍。

　　But parents are parents. No outside intervention can take their place to ensure the healthy growth of their children, so it would be ideal if fewer children had to live without their parents around.

　　可憐天下父母心。沒有什么能夠取代孩子的健康成長在他們心目中的位置。那么讓更少的孩子離開他們的父母生活將使我們的理想。

　　Most Chinese parents foster high hopes for their children. They are tireless custodians, keen on offering meticulous care and support so that their children can lead successful careers and lives.

　　大多數(shù)中國父母對自己的孩子都懷有很高的希望。他們是孜孜不倦的監(jiān)護(hù)人，始終給予孩子無微不至的關(guān)懷和支持，一切為了讓自己的孩子有一分成功的事業(yè)和一個(gè)光輝的人生。

　　Few parents leave their children home because they want to dodge responsibilities. It is more a matter of necessity. Most parents of left-behind children take jobs in cities, where local schools are supposed to focus on serving registered local residents. Non-residents are either left out or face extra charges, which are usually exorbitant even by urban standards.

　　很少有父母是為了逃避責(zé)任而把自己的孩子留在家中。更確切地說那是一件不得以的事。大多數(shù)留守兒童的父母在城市工作，而當(dāng)?shù)氐膶W(xué)校則主要招收有當(dāng)?shù)貞艨诘暮⒆印７浅鞘械膶W(xué)生或者被拒之門外，或者要交納通常高于城市標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的借讀費(fèi)。

　　In such circumstances, most parents choose to leave their kids at home, where they can receive affordable schooling.

　　在這種情況下，大多數(shù)父母選擇將孩子留在家鄉(xiāng)，因?yàn)槟抢锏膶W(xué)費(fèi)才是他們能夠承擔(dān)的。

　　This is yet another demonstration of the embarrassing mismatch between the system and reality.

　　這也從另一個(gè)方面體現(xiàn)了體制與現(xiàn)實(shí)之間令人尷尬的不和諧。

　　研究：肥胖也傳染

　　If your friends and family get fat, chances are you will too, researchers report in a new study that suggests obesity is "socially contagious" and can spread easily from person to person.

　　The large, federally funded study found that to be true even if your loved ones lived far away. Social ties seemed to play a surprisingly strong role, even more than genes are known to do.

　　"We were stunned to find that friends who are hundreds of miles away have just as much impact on a person's weight status as friends who are right next door," said co-author James Fowler of the University of California, San Diego.

　　The study found a person's chances of becoming obese went up 57 percent if a friend did, 40 percent if a sibling did and 37 percent if a spouse did.

　　Researchers think it's more than just people with similar eating and exercise habitshanging outtogether. Instead, it may be that having relatives and friends who become obese changes one's idea of what is an acceptableweight.

　　Despite their findings, the researchers said people should not sever theirrelationships.

　　"There is a ton of research that suggest that having more friends makes you healthier," Fowler said. "So the last thing that you want to do is get rid of any of your friends."

　　The study was published in Thursday's New England Journal ofMedicineand funded by the National Institute on Aging.

　　Obesity is a global public health problem. About 1.5 billion adults worldwide are overweight, including more than 400 million who are obese. Two-thirds of Americans are either overweight or obese.

　　Much of the recent research focus has been on the intense hunt for obesity genes involved in appetite or calorie burning. Treatment has been mainly centered on helping individuals curb their weight through better diet and fitness.

　　The findings could open a new avenue for treating this worldwide epidemic. The researchers said it might be helpful to treat obese people in groups instead of just the individual.

　　"Because people are interconnected, their health is interconnected," said lead author Dr. Nicholas Christakis, a Harvard sociologist.

　　如果你的朋友和家人發(fā)胖了，你也得小心了！一項(xiàng)最新研究表明，肥胖具有“社會傳染性”，很容易在人與人之間傳播。

　　該項(xiàng)由聯(lián)邦政府資助的大規(guī)模研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，即使親朋好友住得很遠(yuǎn)，這種情況也不可避免。社會聯(lián)系對這一問題的影響十分顯著，甚至超過基因。

　　研究報(bào)告的撰寫者之一、圣地亞哥加州大學(xué)的詹姆斯·福勒說：“我們驚訝的發(fā)現(xiàn)，住在幾百英里遠(yuǎn)的朋友對一個(gè)人體重的影響與住在隔壁的朋友同樣大。”

　　研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，如果一個(gè)人的朋友發(fā)胖，那么這個(gè)人發(fā)胖的幾率會上升57%；如果他的兄弟姐妹發(fā)胖，他發(fā)胖的幾率會增加40%；如果配偶發(fā)胖，他發(fā)胖的幾率則會增加37%。

　　研究人員認(rèn)為，這并不只是幾個(gè)飲食和鍛煉習(xí)慣相似的人總呆在一起造成的，可能是因?yàn)橛H朋好友發(fā)胖會改變一個(gè)人對于“可接受體重”的概念。

　　盡管有了這些新發(fā)現(xiàn)，研究人員稱友誼還是應(yīng)該維持的。

　　It is always very crowded and noisy there on holidays.

　　Last time on Teachers’ Day my sister and I had free tickets to go there,

　　and we took two small children with us.

　　When we got there were so many people there that we were very careful not to let the children get lost.

　　There were free balloons given to small kids.

　　There were many different amusement rides,

　　but at all the rides there were long lines of people. Therefore,

　　we did not get many rides.

　　Our two small companions enjoyed the merry-go-round which is a round turning platform that has wooden horses on it.

　　They did not like the airplane ride so much, because the speed and high elevation of the plane scared them.

　　We high a whole afternoon there. By the time we got home,

　　we were a little tired, but we felt like happy small children again.
