青年和国家

This year's Spring Festival is different from previous years. During the Spring Festival, the streets that used to be full of traffic are now very empty, and there are only a few vehicles and pedestrians. The restaurants used to be full of seats, but now they are sparrows. The parks used to be full of people during the Spring Festival, but now they are empty. The shopping malls used to be bustling, but now they are cold and clear novel coronavirus has spread all over the country, and people are staying at home to avoid viruses.

今年的春节与往年不同。春节期间，以前车水马龙的街道现在非常空旷，只有少数车辆和行人。餐馆过去座无虚席，但现在变得门可罗雀。春节期间，公园里曾经挤满了人，但现在已经空无一人了。购物中心过去熙熙攘攘，但现在很冷清，新型冠状病毒已经在全国各地传播，人们都呆在家里躲避病毒。

The virus is threatening, It expanded from two confirmed cases to 80000 in just 10 days, but under the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee, the whole country quickly and comprehensively launched the prevention and control of the epidemic! Selfless medical staff gave up the holiday of reuniting with their families, and have been holding their own posts; medical research experts are Hang a pot to help the world, they rushed to the front line of the epidemic area to contain the epidemic and protect hundreds of millions of Chinese; brave and fearless people's child soldiers assisted in the fight against the epidemic; honest and kind our journalists are the first to provide us with the latest epidemic information every day. Our party members and cadres dare to take the lead in fighting the epidemic. Our entrepreneurs and overseas compatriots are generous. Our international friends are donating materials And you and I who are self-conscious and self disciplined and stay at home and don't add chaos to the country. Do not go out, do not visit friends, wash hands frequently, often ventilate, pay attention to the epidemic situation, do not spread rumors, we are united to fight the epidemic.

这场病毒来势汹汹，短短10天内从两例确诊病例扩大到8万例，但在党中央的坚强领导下，全国迅速全面启动了疫情防控！无私的医护人员放弃了与家人团聚的假期，一直坚守着自己的岗位；医学研究专家们悬壶济世，他们奔赴疫区一线，遏制疫情，保护亿万中国人；勇敢无畏的人民子弟兵协助抗击疫情；诚实善良的记者每天都第一个向我们提供最新的疫情信息。我们的党员干部敢于带头抗击疫情。我们的企业家和海外同胞都很慷慨。我们的国际朋友正在捐赠物资，而你和我都有自我意识和自律，呆在家里，不给国家添乱。不出门，不拜访朋友，勤洗手，常通风，关注疫情，不造谣，我们团结一致抗击疫情。

Among these heroes, I am deeply impressed by academician Zhong Nanshan. At the age of 84, he sat on the high-speed railway from Guangzhou to Wuhan, rushed to the front line of the epidemic area, and led the medical staff to fight against the disease. Academician Zhong Nanshan works hard every day and can only sleep for more than 4 hours at night. When I saw that his eyes were puffy and everyone reported the epidemic situation, I felt extremely distressed. No wonder people all said, "if there is Yuan Longping, there will be food. If there is Zhong Nanshan, there will be no fear of illness." Grandpa Zhong, you are everyone's "good medicine" and you are everyone's "reassurance". I want to learn from you and be a person who will serve the country, the society and the people in the future.

在这些英雄中，钟南山院士给我留下了深刻的印象。84岁的他坐在从广州到武汉的高铁上，奔赴疫区一线，带领医护人员与病魔抗争。钟南山院士每天都很努力，晚上只能睡4个多小时。当我看到他的眼睛浮肿、所有人都要向他报告疫情时，我感到无比心疼。难怪人们都说：“有袁隆平就有饭吃，有钟南山就不怕生病。”钟爷爷，你是大家的“良药”，你是每个人的“定心丸”。我想向你们学习，成为一个将来为国家、社会和人民服务的人。

In this war without gunpowder, there are also some "black sheep". There are people who capture wild animals for money; people who satisfy their taste buds and eat wild animals; unscrupulous profiteers who sell masks that don't meet the standards and coax the price to hikers when they are in trouble. Please wake up, these people. Don't you understand the principle that "a country has difficulties, everyone has responsibilities" and "a country has a family"?

在这场没有硝烟的战争中，也有一些“害群之马”。有些人为了钱而捕捉野生动物；满足味蕾并食用野生动物的人；肆无忌惮的奸商，他们出售不符合标准的口罩，并在驴友遇到困难时哄抬价格。请醒醒，你们这些人。你难道不明白“国家兴亡，匹夫有责”和“有国才有家”的道理吗？

Wuhan is bound to win! China is bound to win! I believe that people will win the war without gunpowder if they unite as one. Soon our life is back to the normal: the streets are busy, the shopping malls are busy, the parks are busy, we are happy to go to school with schoolbags on our backs.

武汉必胜！中国必胜！我相信，如果人们团结一致，就会赢得这场没有硝烟的战争。很快，我们的生活就恢复了正常：街道繁忙，超市热闹，公园热闹，我们高高兴兴背着书包上学。

Dear Mr.Headmaster:

尊敬的校长先生：

I am Li Yue, a student from Class 1, Senior 2. I am writing to draw your attention to some improper behaviour among us students: littering and scribbling. It makes our school dirty and unpleasant, and does harm to the image of our school. I always feel ashamed when-ever I see this. It is clearly not appropriate for a student to litter and scribble.

我是高二（1）班的学生李玥。我写信是想提醒你注意我们学生的一些不当行为：乱扔垃圾和乱写乱画。它使我们的学校变得肮脏、令人不快，并损害了我们学校的形象。当我看到这一切时，我总是感到羞愧。学生乱扔垃圾和乱涂乱画显然是不合适的。

I wonder if the school could place more dustbins around and set up specific rules against such behaviour. At the same time, students should be encouraged to develop good habits and better behave themselves. Believe that, with the Joint efforts of both teachers and students, our school will Become a more enjoyable place in the near future.

我想学校是否可以在周围放置更多的垃圾箱，并制定针对此类行为的具体规则。同时，应该鼓励学生养成良好的习惯，更好地表现自己。相信在老师和学生的共同努力下，我们的学校将在不久的将来成为一个更令人愉快的地方。

Thank you for your consideration.

谢谢您的考虑。

Yours faithfully(用于正式信函的末尾，署名之前), Li Yue

您忠实的,李越

2015年11月，全国中东部地区17省市持续雾霾，陷入大范围的重度和严重污染。造成这一现象的主要原因是工厂排出的废气和汽车尾气等。绿色低碳，保护环境，从我们身边小事做起。现请你根据以下三个方面的提示，以 "Let's Do Something to Save Our Environment" 为题写一篇80词左右的短文。

内容包括：

1.重要性：只有一个地球。

2.主要问题：污染、疾病、灾难。

3.措施：停止污染、保护大自然。

Let's Do Something to save Our Environment

让我们做点什么来拯救我们的环境

We all live on the earth. The earth is our home. We have only one earth. We must take care of it. It gives us the best environment. If we harm it, it will be angry. And then we will have a terrible end. There are three problems in our earth, they are pollution, disaster and illness.

我们都生活在地球上。地球是我们的家园。我们只有一个地球。我们必须照顾好它。它给了我们最好的环境。如果我们伤害它，它会生气。然后我们会有一个可怕的结局。地球上有三个问题，它们是污染、灾难和疾病。

It's our duty to protect our environment. So we must plant more trees, protect the flowers and the trees, save energy, reduce the pollution. We should ask our government to control the pollution from the factories.

保护环境是我们的责任。所以我们必须种植更多的树木，保护花草树木，节约能源，减少污染。我们应该要求政府控制工厂的污染。

Protecting the nature is very important. It's our duty to keep our environment clean and tidy.

保护自然非常重要。保持环境整洁是我们的责任。

If everyone makes a contribution to protecting the environment, the earth will become much more beautiful.

如果每个人都为保护环境做出贡献，地球将变得更加美丽。

Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic: Pollution: An Increasing Concern in China You should write at least 120 words following the outline below in Chinese.

说明：在这部分，你可以用30分钟的时间写一篇作文，题目是：污染：中国日益严重的问题。你应该按照以下提纲用中文写至少120个单词。

1.中国的污染的现状

2.造成污染的原因

3.解决的办法

Pollution: An Increasing Concern in China

污染：中国日益关注的问题

It is reported that ten big cities in China are being ranked among the top twenty cities with the highest pollution index in the world. This means it is high time we did something to bring the situation under control.

据报道，中国的十个大城市被列为世界上污染指数最高的前二十名城市。这意味着现在是我们采取措施控制局势的时候了。

Many factors are contributing to the deteriorating situation: industrial wastes pumped into the air, the lakes and rivers; a increasing number of automobiles crowding into the streets; the widespread use of plastic bags etc.

许多因素导致了局势的恶化：工业废物被排入空气、湖泊和河流；越来越多的汽车涌入街道；塑料袋的广泛使用等。

To my view, stiffer laws and regulations must be implemented to check pollution. Industries that release wastes without permission should be heavily fined. Cars should be equipped to minimize the exhaust they release into the air. And the use of plastic bags and disposable meal boxes should be banned. What's more, the media should play an important role in implanting a sense of environmental consciousness into people's mind.

在我看来，必须实施更严格的法律法规来控制污染。未经许可排放废物的行业应被处以重罚。汽车的装备应尽量减少排放到空气中的废气。此外，应禁止使用塑料袋和一次性餐盒。更重要的是，媒体应该在将环境意识植入人们的头脑中发挥重要作用。

If everybody works toward a common goal of making the environment better, we can create a cleaner and lovelier world for us and for the coming generation.

如果每个人都朝着改善环境的共同目标努力，我们就能为我们和下一代创造一个更清洁、更有爱的世界。

Elder male cousin:

表哥：

Good faith! After receiving your letter, I was both happy and sad for you for many days. I looked at what you said in your letter, thought for a long time, and finally tried to find a reason to persuade you.

见信好！收到你的来信后，我既高兴，又为你难过了好几天。我看了看你在信中所说的话，想了很久，终于找到了说服你的理由。

You said that you have made progress in each subject this semester, and each subject is among the best in the class. This is the result of your hard work. I'm very happy. I will take you as an example, study hard and strive for common progress with you. Let's encourage!

你说这学期你在每门课上都取得了进步，而且每门课都是班上最好的。这是你努力学习的结果。我很高兴。我将以你为榜样，努力学习，与你共同进步。让我们相互共勉吧！

But what you say in your letter is more painful.

但你在信中说得更多的是让人心里难受的话。

You say that you are a poor child in a gully, and you don't even have a pair of decent shoes on your feet, let alone use fashionable clothes to package yourself. You always get the squint of other people's eyes in campus life. You think that's because of your humble origin, no good father, and useless parents?

你说你是个山沟里的穷孩子，脚上连一双像样的鞋子都没有，更不用说用时尚的衣服来包装自己了。在校园生活中，你总是会被别人鄙视。你认为那是因为你出身卑微，没有好父亲，父母一无是处？

You said that you are so envious of the affluent living conditions of those students in the city. They hold the latest mobile phone all day, and hang the MP4 around their neck. When they arrive at the dormitory, they open their laptop and play games. But you are shy in your own pocket. Even the simple cost of living every month is sometimes tight.

你说你很羡慕城里那些学生优越的生活条件。他们整天拿着最新的手机，把MP4挂在脖子上。当他们到达宿舍时，他们打开笔记本电脑玩游戏。但你自己囊中羞涩。甚至每个月简单的生活费用有时也很紧张。

You said why is the world so rich and poor? Why is life so bitter? Why should we drink mineral water? No, even mineral water can't afford it. It's only the life of drinking tap water?

你说为什么世界贫富差距如此悬殊？为什么生活如此痛苦？我们为什么要喝矿泉水？不，即使是矿泉水也买不起。只该是喝自来水的命？

Cousin, although I'm still in high school, I haven't experienced college life. However, I have borne your thoughts in silence. Later, I learned the true meaning of life from reading the books of famous people and great people, and from the textbooks of real life.

表哥，虽然我还在读高中，还没有经历过大学生活。然而，你的这些想法我也默默地承受过。后来我从读名人和伟人的书，以及从现实生活的课本中了解到了生活的真谛。

Yes, we can't choose our parents, our families or the birthplace of our destiny. However, we can compare with the city students to study and improve. When you think about your high school and college life, it's not because of your efforts. Middle school, you are admitted to the county key; University, you are admitted to the highest institution in the province. Isn't all this because poverty is your greatest motivation? In a sense, poverty is wealth. ?

是的，我们无法选择父母、家庭，无法选择命运的出生地。然而，我们可以与城市的学生比学习、比进步。但是，我们完全可以与城里学生比学习、比进步。回想你所走过的中学、大学生活，哪一步不是因为自己的努力。中学，你考上了县重点；大学，你考入省城最高学府。这些不都是因为贫穷作了你最大的动力吗？从某种意义上讲，贫穷是财富。

When you are in college, just because you don't have the travel expenses for home on holidays, you just hide in the dormitory to study; because you don't have the money to buy computers and foreign things, you use paper text instead of electronic documents, you get the most real and effective training, you spend all your energy on your studies, so you become a real leader in the class.

当你在大学时，仅仅因为没有回家的车旅费，你就躲在宿舍里学习；因为你没有钱买电脑和那些洋玩意儿，你用纸质文本代替电子文档，你得到了最真实有效的训练，你把所有的精力都花在了学习上，所以你成为了班上名副其实的尖子。

When you say that others always point at you, it's actually your psychological factors. Maybe they are appreciating you and praising you. Besides, life is hard to be smooth, and temporary difficulties do not mean permanent.

当你说别人总是对你指指点点，其实是你的心理因素在作怪。也许他们是在欣赏你，赞美你。此外，生活很难一帆风顺，暂时的困难并不意味着永久的困难。

Our brothers and sisters may be more grateful to our respective parents, because in this poor family, we have learned how to tolerate, how to seek spiritual comfort in the days of poverty. We should use Mencius's words to inspire ourselves at all times, "heaven will give us a great responsibility, so people must first work hard, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skin, and be empty..."

我们兄妹俩更应该感谢我们各自的父母，因为在这个贫困的家庭里，我们学会了如何忍耐，如何在贫困的日子里寻求精神慰藉。我们应该时刻用孟子的话来激励自己，“天降大任于斯人也，必先苦其心志，劳其筋骨，饿其体肤，空乏其身……”

Cousin, there's a way that it's hard to buy young people. Let's taste our life together in setbacks, and hone the wisdom and strength others don't have in the bitter experience!

表哥，有道是千金难买少年贫。让我们一起在挫折中品味生活，在痛苦的经历中磨练别人没有的智慧和力量！
