In order to deal with waste scientifically and effectively, our city has started to promote garbage classification this year. I approve of the new idea completely because it
110、 can not only reduce the harm done to the environment but also save resources through recycling. As a responsible citizen, Ill try to learn basic knowledge about how to sort garbage and apply what I learn to practice. Meanwhile, Ill tell people around me about the importance and necessity of the pro

112、ms become litter, but two of the most common and most dangerous are cigarette butts and plastic bags. Litter is a big problem for our environment, but it is a problem that individuals can easily do something about. Not littering at all or cleaning up litter, such as cigarette butts and plastic bags,
113、 greatly improves the quality of our environment. Although cigarette butts are small, they are bad for the environment. Over 1, 600 billion cigarettes are smoked each year in China and large quantities of the butts are thrown away. Worldwide, about 4. 5 trillion butts are littered every year. Apart
114、from the fact that butts spoil the beauty of the environment, they contain some very toxic chemicals. These find their way into the water supply where they decrease the quality of the water and endanger plants and animals that live there. Because there are so many butts and because they can take up
115、to 5 years to break down, the toxic chemicals add up to a large amount. So, if people have to smoke, they should not throw away the butts but put them in the rubbish bin instead. Plastic bags are another common form of litter that is a danger to the environment. There are several reasons for this. T
116、hey are made from oil and gas, which are non-renewable resources, if they are not recycled, these resources are lost to us. In China, 2 billion plastic bags are used every day. An enormous number of these become litter. This is a huge problem because they last from 20 to 1, 000 years in the environm
117、ent. They float easily in air and water and travel long distances. They find their way to rivers, parks, beaches and oceans. Plastic bags kill up to one million seabirds, 100, 000 sea mammals and countless fish each year worldwide. When the animal dies and breaks down, the plastic bag can become fre
118、e again to kill another animal. It is up to people not to let plastic bags become litter. It would be better if they used fewer and recycled them. Cleaning up your cigarette butts and plastic bags would improve the environment. The earth would be a better place because it would be less polluted. And
119、 we would know that we were doing something to look after our planet. However, I believe the best solution would be not to smoke or use plastic bags at all. _【参考范文】Cigarette butts and plastic bags are the most serious litter problems, but people can help deal with them. Cigarette butts, which destro
120、y the beautiful environment and endanger life with poisonous chemicals, should be put into dustbins. Plastic bags, made from non-renewable resources, can exist in different places for a long time, killing countless animals. So people had better use fewer and recycle them. Cleaning up butts and bags

I dont have any talent. ” I just dont buy that at all. To me, everyone has at least one talent, and while it sometimes takes you a lifetime to find
122、, it does exist. There was a time when I didnt believe that. What changed my mind was a seemingly small event that took place in 1953. At that time I was a high school student. I was a funny-looking skinny boy, who weighed barely 100 pounds. I was a good student, but as far as I was concerned, in ju
123、st about every other department I was a loser. I wanted to fit in, to be someone and do something well. But I hadnt found anything I was good at. One sunny afternoon, our gym class went out to the schools running track. The teacher taught us all various track and field events. I was a loser in all o
124、f them. Then came the javelin(标枪). Suddenly something inside me began saying, “Try it! Try it! ”I had to wait my turn, though, trying not to look too eager. Finally, when everyone had had a chance to throwthe best throw going about 30 yardsI looked at the teacher. “Hey, Orowitz, you want to try? ”he
125、 asked. Embarrassed, I looked down, but managed to nod my head. “Well, come on then, ” he said impatiently, and handed me the javelin. Behind me I could hear some of my classmates laughing. As I grasped the javelin in my hand, I was seized with a strange feelinga new-found excitement. For some crazy
126、 reason, I was relaxed over what I was about to do, even though Id never done it before. I raised the javelin over my head, took six quick steps and let the thing go. The same voice that had urged me to throw it, now told me it was a good throw. 注意: 续写词数应为150左右。I watched as the javelin took off. My
127、heart quickened. . . _That night I took the javelin home with me. _【参考范文】I watched as the javelin took off. My heart quickened as I saw it continue to sail 30 yards out, then 40. As it went past the 50-yard mark, it was still going. For a minute nothing was said. Then someone whispered, “Holy cow! ”
128、And others began cheering. Nobody could believe what little Orowitz had just done. I took the javelin back to the gym teacher. “You keep the thing, ”he said, still shaking his head in wonder. That night I took the javelin home with me. The very next day I began practicing with it, and every day that
129、 summerfor six hours or moreI would throw it in a nearby schoolyard. By the time I was a member of the track team, all my practice paid off. I threw the javelin 211 feet that year, the best throw by any high-school boy in the country. I feel strongly that we must keep our minds open, and we cant let ourselves be discouraged or depressed when the talent doesnt readily appear. 关闭Word文档返回原板块
