题目内容

"Guinness" is on Tuesday nights on Fox.It is a disgusting show that I regret watching.The producers seem to show the sickest records.There is nothing wrong with the book,and it's an honor to be in it,for the most part.The program,however,doesn't show the record for the person who lifted the most weight.Instead,they show the person who lifted 30 pounds with his ears and tongue,which was truly disgusting.Television can do without a show like this.

"Saturday Night Live" is not the same show that it once was.Now the weekly comedy show struggles to come up with a single funny scene.Despite the good acting and the interesting hosts,the humor is simply not there.As the ratings continue to drop,the show must find a solution to its growing problem of lack of funny material.Until then,it will probably get worse."Saturday Night Live" can be seen on NBC on Saturday nights from 11:30 p.m-1.00 a.m.

"The Wayans Bros.",an exciting comedy starring Shawn and Marion Wayans,airs every Wednesday at 9:00 p.m.In the show,Shawn and Marion play brothers who live together and own a news stand.Shawn,the smooth-talking one of the two,and Marion,the younger brother who is forever acting like a five-year-old,seem to have a conflict every week,but always resolve it with a brotherly hug.

"Gilmore Girls",now in its seventh (and final) season,is an amazing television show that follows the lives of the mother/daughter team of Lorelai and Rory Gilmore.Lorelai got pregnant with Rory at the age of 16 and decided to move out of Hartford,Connecticut,to seek refuge in a small town nearby.She and Rory have a close relationship and share everything.

A terrible storm took place in a Friday night. The wind was so strong that many trees were brought down. It is eleven o’clock. Li Ming, one of my best friend, was still not back and his parents were very anxious about them. Half an hour late, the wind stopped，but it was still rainning hardly. Li Ming’s parents were about to look for him then he came home. Li Ming explained that the storm pushed over big trees as well as electricity poles, blocked the roads and that the bridge had washed away by the floods. Therefore, Lei Ming and his classmates had to find another way back. What was even more worse, one of his classmates had a arm hurt. So they took him to the hospital.

How did the sea horse get its name? It's not hard to guess. The top half of this fish looks like a small horse. But looking at the sea horse's tail, you might think "sea monkey" is a better name. Then there's the sea horse's pouch(口袋). "Sea kangaroo" might also be a good name for this fish.

Sea horse live in warm ocean waters all over the world. They keep safe from other fish by hiding in plants and grasses that grow under the sea. They can also change colors to match their surroundings(环境). A sea horse in one place for hours at a time by winding its tail around a plant. It feeds on live food, such as small shrimp(虾). For a fish that doesn't move around much, the sea horse eats a lot-- in just one day, a sea horse can eat 3,000 shrimp!

A sea horse keeps the same mate for its whole life, and it's the male(雄性的) sea horse that gives birth to baby sea horses. How does this happen? Baby sea horse start out as eggs, which come from the female's(雌性的) body. The male carries the eggs in its pouch for about three weeks until they hatch(孵化). Soon after the babies are born, the female gives her mate a new set of eggs.

Sadly, the number of sea horses is becoming smaller. Why is this happening? Some places where sea horses once lived have been filled in to make new land. Also, many sea horses are caught and sold as aquarium(水族馆) fish. This really is not a good idea because most sea horses don't live long in aquarium. The best place for a sea horse is the ocean.

Breathe, wave and smile. Along with more than 300 other seniors, I marched into the stadium on the afternoon of May 10. The audience burst into deafening cheers. The huge stadium shook with all the whistling and clapping.

It was as if a Hollywood superstar had walked on stage. And indeed, every single senior that day was a star of the moment. Each deserved it. The seniors had been preparing for four years for this once-in-a-lifetime moment—the commencement (graduation ceremony).

Seated, I waited anxiously for the opening address. As a foreign exchange student, I was not able to receive a diploma. However, I still had the wonderful feeling of being part of things. Like the other graduates, I was dressed in marron cap and gown.

Our principal, Mr. Glover, delivered a short, warm greeting. The US national anthem followed and then, hands on chests, a solemn Pledge of Allegiance(美国的爱国誓言).

Students who had excelled academically gave farewell speeches. The tears in some eyes convinced me that many had deep feelings about the occasion. It was as the class motto says, “Life brings us tears, smiles and memories. The tears dry; the smiles fade; but the memories last forever.”

Then came the core (the most important part) of the commencement. Hundreds of names were announced. Each graduate walked across the stage to receive his or her diploma from the principal. From the different cheers each graduate got, we had the funny sense that it was a kind of competition of who could cheer the loudest.

To be honest, the presentation of diplomas got boring. A girl sitting next to me even started yawning. But it wasn’t boring for those receiving the diploma: they would treasure the moment the principal placed the sacred brown document in their hands for the rest of their lives.

A new page in the book of that person’s life had turned. They were glimpsing their futures: futures of challenge, hardship, perhaps loneliness too, which would take all of their courage.

This morning I got up early and went to school as usually, only to find there were nobody in the classroom because it is Sunday. “How a bad memory I have!” I couldn’t help laughing. Stand in front of the school gate, I began to wonder what to do next. Suddenly a good idea occurs to me. “Why not to get together with some good friends for visit to the nursing home?” I immediately telephoned some of my best friends, but they both agreed to join me. About two hours late, we finally arrived there with some apples and flowers. We really had a good time spending with elderly today.

Floods are second only to fire as the most common of all natural disasters.They occur almost everywhere in the world,resulting in widespread damage and even death.Consequently,scientists have long tried to perfect their ability to predict floods.So far,the best that scientists can do is to recognize the potential for flooding in certain conditions. There are a number of conditions,from deep snow on the ground to human error,which cause flooding.

When deep snow melts it creates a large amount of water.Although deep snow alone rarely causes floods,when it occurs together with heavy rain and sudden warmer weather it can lead to serious flooding.If there is a fast snow melt on top of frozen or very wet ground,flooding is more likely to occur than when the ground is not frozen.Frozen ground or ground that is very wet cannot absorb the additional water created by the melting snow.Melting snow also contributes to high water levels in rivers and streams.

Rivers that are covered in ice can also lead to flooding.When ice begins to melt,the surface of the ice cracks and breaks into large pieces.These pieces of ice move and float down the river,They can form a dam in the river,causing the water behind the dam to rise and flood the land upstream.If the dam breaks suddenly,then the large amount of water held behind the dam can flood the areas downstream too.

Broken ice dams are not the only dam problems that can cause flooding.When a large human-made dam breaks or fails to hold the water collected behind it,the results can be devastating.Dams contain such huge amounts of water behind them that when sudden breaks occur,the great force of the water is like a great tidal wave.The dam waters can travel tens of kilometres,cover the ground in metres of mud and litter,and drown and crush every thing and creature in their path.

Although scientists cannot always predict exactly when floods will occur,they do know a great deal about when floods are probably going to occur.Deep snow,ice-covered rivers,and weak dams are all strong conditions for potential flooding.
