英语作文 篇1

  in the doorway of my home, i looked closely at the face of my 23-year-old son, daniel, his backpack by his side. we were saying good-bye. in a few hours he would be flying to france. he would be staying there for at least a year to learn another language and eperience life in a different country.

  it was a transitional time in daniels life, a passage, a step from college into the adult world. i wanted to leave him with words that would have some meaning, some significance beyond the moment.but nothing came from my lips. no sound broke the stillness of my beachside home on long island. outside, i could hear the shrill cries of sea gulls as they circled the ever-changing surf. inside, i stood frozen and quiet, looking into the searching eyes of my son.

  what made it more difficult was that i knew this was not the first time i had let such a moment pass. when daniel was five, i took him to the school-bus stop on his first day of kindergarten. i felt the tension in his hand holding mine as the bus turned the corner. i saw color flush his cheeks as the bus pulled up. his questioning eyes looked up at mine.

  what is it going to be like, dad? can i do it? will i be okay? and then he walked up the steps of the bus and disappeared inside. and the bus drove away. and i had said nothing.

  a decade or so later, a similar scene played itself out. with his mother, i drove him to the college of william and mary in virginia. his first night, he went out with his new schoolmates. when he met us the net morning, he was sick. he was coming down with mononucleosis, but we could not know that then. we thought he had a hangover.

  in his room, dan lay stretched out on his bed as i started to leave for the trip home. i tried to think of something to say to give him some courage and confidence as he started this new phase of life.again, words failed me. i mumbled something like, "hope you feel better, dan." and i left.now, as i stood before him, i thought of those lost opportunities. how many times have we all let such moments pass?

  a parent dies, and, instead of giving a eulogy ourselves, we let a clergyman speak. a child asks if santa claus is real, or where babies come from, and, embarrassed, we slough it off. when a daughter graduates or a son is married, we watch them go through the motions of the ceremony. but we dont seek out our children and find a quiet moment to tell them what they have meant to us. or what they might epect to face in the years ahead.

  how fast the years had passed. daniel was born in new orleans, slow to walk and talk, and small of stature. he was the tiniest in his class, but he developed a warm, outgoing nature and was popular with his peers. he was coordinated and agile, and he became adept in sports.

  baseball gave him his earliest challenge. he was an outstanding pitcher in little league, epecting to make it big in high school. it didnt happen that way. he failed to move up from the junior varsity team. but he stuck it out. eventually, as a senior, he moved up to the varsity. he won half the teams games. at graduation, the coach named daniel the teams most valuable player.

  his finest hour, though, came at a school science fair. he entered an ehibit showing how the circulatory system works. he sketched it on cardboard. it was primitive and crude, especially compared to the fancy, computerized, blinking-light models entered by other students. my wife, sara, felt embarrassed for him.

  it turned out that the other kids had not done their own work--their parents had made their ehibits. as the judges went on their rounds, they found that these other kids couldnt answer their questions. daniel answered every one. when the judges awarded the albert einstein plaque for the best ehibit, they gave it to him.

  by the time daniel left for college he stood si feet tall and weighed 170 pounds. he was muscular and in superb condition. but he never pitched another inning. he found that he could not combine athletics with academics. he gave up baseball for english literature. i was sorry that he would not develop his athletic talent, but proud that he had made such a mature decision. he graduated with a "b" average.

  one day, i told daniel that the great failing in my life had been that i didnt take a year or two off to travel when i finished college.

  this is the best way, to my way of thinking, to broaden oneself and develop a larger perspective on life. once i had married and begun working, i found that the dream of living in another culture had vanished.

  daniel thought about this. his yuppie friends said that he would be insane to put his career on hold. but he decided it wasnt so crazy. after graduation, he worked as a waiter, a bike messenger, and a house painter. with the money he earned, he had enough to go to paris.

  the night before he was to leave, i tossed in bed. i was trying to figure out something to say. nothing came to mind. maybe, i thought, it wasnt necessary to say anything.

  what does it matter in the course of a lifetime if a father never tells a son what he really thinks of him? but as i stood before daniel, i knew that it does matter. my father and i loved each other. yet, i always regretted never hearing him put his feelings into words and never having the memory of that moment.

  now, i could feel my palms sweat and my throat tighten. why is it so hard to tell a son something from the heart? my mouth turned dry. i knew i would be able to get out only a few words clearly.

  "daniel," i said, "if i could have picked, i would have picked you."

  thats all i could say. i wasnt sure he understood what i meant. then he came toward me and threw his arms around me. for a moment, the world and all its people vanished, and there was just daniel and me.

  he was saying something, but my eyes misted over, and i couldnt understand what he was saying. all i was aware of was the stubble on his chin as his face pressed against mine. and then, the moment ended, and daniel left for france.

  i think about him when i walk along the beach on weekends. thousands of miles away, somewhere out past the ocean waves breaking on the deserted shore, he might be scurrying across boulevard saint germain, strolling through a musty hallway of the louvre, bending an elbow in a left bank café.

  what i said to daniel was clumsy and trite. it was nothing. and yet, it was everything.

  水的净化(water purification)

  the provision of safe water necessitates one of the rnajor expenditures of manpower and revenue in our modern cities. the purification of water is basically a two-step or three-step process carried out under the strict supervision of public health scientists and engineers. as the first step, natural water from the least contaminated source is allowed to stand in large reservoirs, where most of the mud, clay, and silt settle out; this is called "sedimentation". often in water with high mud content, lime and aluminum sulfate are added to the water in the settling reservoirs. these chemicals react in the water to form aluminum hydroxide, which settles slowly and carries much of the suspended material, including most of carries much of the suspended material, including most of the bacteria, to the bottom of the reservoirs. as the second step, the water is filtered through beds of sand and grovel, which remove other impurities and chemicals in it. during or after filtration, chemicals are ordinarily added to the water to kill any remaining harmful bacteria. chlorine is one of the most common chemicals used for this purpose. a third step taken by some rmnicipalities is adding to the water other beneficial chemicals such as fluoride to make tooth enamel hard, and soda ash to make the water itself soft. the water purification process, carried out with little variation from one large city to another, is perhaps the biggest factor in the prevention of major outbreaks of disease in this country.

  My aunt Edith was a widow of 50, working as a secretary, when doctors discovered what was then thought to be a very serious heart ailment.

  Aunt Edith doesn’t accept defeat easily. She began studying medical reports in the library and found an article in a magazine about a well-known heart surgeon, Dr. Michael DeBakey, of Houston, Texas. HE had saved the life of someone with the same ailment. The article said Dr. DeBakey’s fees were very high; Aunt Edith couldn’t possibly pay them. But could he tell her of someone whose fee she could pay?

  So Aunt Edith wrote to him. She simply listed her reasons for wanting live: her three children, who would be on their own in three or four more years, her little-girl dream of traveling and seeing the world. There wasn’t a word of self-pity---only warmth and humor and the joy of living. She mailed the letter, not really expecting an answer.

  A few days later, my doorbell rang. Aunt Edith didn’t wait to come in; she stood in the hall and read aloud: “Your beautiful letter moved me very deeply. If you can come to Houston, there will be no charge for either the hospital or the operation. Signed—Michael DeBakey.”

  That was seven years ago. Since then, Aunt Edith has been around the world. Her three children are happily married. For her age, she is one of the youngest, most alive people I know----all because of an open heart surgeon who knew how to honor of his profession, and how to open his own heart.

英语作文 篇4

  There are many characteristic exist in the world, and characteristic is very important to people. For example, active, persistence, optimistic makes people successful; lazy, passive makes people fail. Having a good characteristic means you have the key to the successful door, but you have to find the way of success. This is what I am going to talk about, the key to success: persistence.

  Persistence is a key to success, whether for a single person or an organization. People who lack of it would mean failure in reaching a certain goal. People need to know that success seldom comes easily on the first try; they should have the patient to insist trying until they get the goal. Unsuccessful people try something just a few times, and when it fails, they give up; they usually pass the blame onto someone or something, and learn nothing from their experience. Successful people are different, even they fail, and they won’t lose their passion.

  Let me take a famous person to example. His name is Da Vinci, he is known as a great painter, artist. Everyone knows him, but I think there are not much people known that how much effort did he made before he became a famous artist. Da Vinci draw eggs everyday when he was young, hundreds and thousands times a day. It is definite a boring work, many people could not bear to face an egg and draw it in different angle thousands times. But Da Vinci did it, and he made it. We could say it is not for his persistence that he would not get the great aptitude for painting.

  Talent is a gift from god, persistence is a key you’ve got, and effort makes those working which bring you to open the door of success.
