1、  Snowflakes look like white stars falling from the sky. But there have been times when snow has looked red, green, yellow, or black. There have been snowflakes of almost every color. Think how it

would seem to have colored snowflakes coming down all around you.

Black snow fell in France one year. Another year grey snow fell in Japan. It was found that the

snow was mixed with ashes. This made it look dark. Red snow had come down in other countries.

When this happened, the snow was mixed with red dust.

Most snow looks white, but it is really the color of ice. Snow is ice that comes from snow cloud.

Each snowflake begins with a small drop of frozen water. More water forms around this drop. The way the water freezes gives the snowflakes its shape.

No two snowflakes are ever just the same size or shape. Sometimes the snowflakes are broken

when they come down. Other snowflakes melt as they fall. All snowflakes are flat and have six sides,

if they are not broken or melted. When the air is cold and dry, the falling snowflakes are small and

hard. If the air wet and warm, the snowflakes are big and soft.

Would you be surprised to see snowflakes as big as your head falling from the sky? It happened

once in the United States. It could happen again.

2、  Martin Luther King was a black minister, who became a great leader of the civil rights movement in the 1950s and 1960s.

    King was born on January 15, 1929 in Atlanta, Georgia. When he was young, he was strongly influenced by Thoreau and Indian leader Mahatma Gandhi's idea of non-violent resistance. Having received a Ph. D (Doctor of Philosophy) from Boston University, he became a political and religious leader of the non - violent civil relights movement in 1955. On August 28, 1963, he led over 250,000 Americans on a march in Washington D.C. to fight for the Civil Rights Law to guarantee equality for all people, and delivered his best known speech "I Have a Dream" before the Lincoln Memorial.

3、  A characteristic of American culture that has become almost a tradition is to respect the self-made man - the man who has risen to the top through his own efforts, usually beginning by working with his hands. While the leader in business or industry or the college professor occupies a higher social position and commands greater respect in the community than the common laborer or even the skilled factory worker, he may take pains to point out that his father started life in America as a farmer or laborer of some sort.

This attitude toward manual (体力的) labor is now still seen in many aspects of American life. One is invited to dinner at a home that is not only comfortably but even luxuriously (豪华地) furnished and in which there is every evidence of the fact that the family has been able to afford foreign travel, expensive hobbies, and college education for the children; yet the hostess probably will cook the dinner herself, will serve it herself and will wash dishes afterward; furthermore,  the dinner will not consist merely of something quickly and easily assembled from contents of various cans and a cake or a pie bought at the nearby bakery. On the contrary, the hostess usually takes pride in careful preparation of special dishes. A professional may talk about washing the car, digging in his flowerbeds, painting the house. His wife may even help with these things, just as he often helps her with the dishwashing. The son who is away at college may wait on table and wash dishes for his living, or during the summer he may work with a construction gang on a highway in order to pay for his education.

Water and Life

1. 随着工业化(industrialization)的推进，地球上的淡水(fresh water)越来越少。

2. 生命没水就要消亡(disappear)，因此人类要珍惜(treasure)淡水。

3. 我们如何节约用水。

 

Water is the cradle of life.It is very important for all the life. nobody can live without water. 

Plants and animals also need water.  When plants in the fields do not get enough water, they die. 

When animals in the forest can't fine water to drink, they also die. Just as sunshine is a necessity to 

life, so is fresh water. Without fresh water, our human society would come to a stop. As 

industrialization progresses, less and less fresh water on Earth. we need to treasure it as we treasure 

our life, but how? 

First, our government should have a good plan for the use of fresh water and develop industries 

that consume less water. Second, waste water must be recycled. Finally everyone of us should do his 

bit to save water.
