7.An indivial human existence should be like a river—small at first, narrowly contained within its banks, and rushing passionately past boulders and over waterfalls. Graally the river grows wider, the banks recede, the waters flow more quietly, and in the end, without any visible break, they become merged in the sea, and painlessly lose their indivial being.
人的生命應當像河流，開始是涓涓細流，受兩岸的限制而十分狹窄，爾後奔騰咆哮，翻過危岩，飛越瀑布，河面漸漸開闊，河岸也隨之向兩邊隱去，最後水流平緩，森森無際，匯入大海之中，個人就這樣毫無痛苦地消失了。

❹ 適合五年級的,帶有練習題英語閱讀理解小短文(15篇)
雅思小作文是寫作中的部分，對於烤鴨來說也有著舉足輕重的作用，在考前，小編給大家深度解析在小作文的各類題目，以便大家對此更加了解。
在雅思寫作考中，部分小作文，雖然小作文的分值不高，但是烤鴨也應該要先去盡量完全它，為幫大了解它，小編深度解析小作文中的各種題目。
圖表類題目
想要解這種題我們要先來了解下西方人的思維模式：西方人做事情往往是跟我們東方人不樣，西方人往往是講究數字的，即他們都會使用種統計數據，資料來源，實驗，以及還有報告來突出實事求是的學術精神;他們會用客觀的數據事實來支持你的個人觀點。
所以上海環球雅思培訓老師認為如果你要到西方去留學，那麼用數據描述統計圖表的能力幾乎都是每門課的教授所要求學生掌握的，同時也是學生寫論文時常常要掌握的能力之。所以，圖表類的小作文已經占據到了小作文出題次數80%以上的比例。
流程圖和地圖題題目
流程圖的原理是：描述事物工作原理以及具體的流程。主要的目的是針對理工科學生在論文中需要描述機械原理，工藝流程。但是由於目前到海外去讀工科的學生並不多，所以流程圖出題的概率相對來說並不高，年大概也就3-5次左右。
地圖題的原理是：需要去描述某個地區或者圖紙布局的變化。主要的目的是讓學生學會方位的表達，尤其是針對那些將來要到海外去學城市規劃，地產開發，以及還有園林布局等專業的學生。但是因為這些學生的數量相對來說也不多，所以地圖題年的出題概率可能也不高，年大概也就那麼3-4次左右。

昨晚，我的朋友們和我一起回到了初中的校園。我們走了一圈校園，說起了在那個時候的趣事。我們很快就要上大學了，因此我們即將分離，但是我們對將來的校園生活感到高興。突然，我的腦海中出現了一個主意，我對朋友說我們可以定一個四年後的約定，那時候我們也畢業了。朋友們很興奮，同意我的想法。因此我們約定四年後，在這里相聚。我開始想像四年後的自己會變成什麼樣子，或許老師，或許商人。這個約定讓我們有機會和彼此保持聯系。我期待著實現這個約定。

Today,,becauseafteraday』sworking,theywillfindfunatnight,,too.Astheyarewakeupsolate,,,.,ourbodyhasn』ttakeinthingsallthenight,,.Thinkingaboutthis,,.Asbreakfastissoimportant,wemusthaveitontime,.
今天，年輕一代喜歡熬夜，經過一天的工作以後，他們會在晚上出去尋找樂子，因此他們很晚才回家，然後也很晚才起來。由於他們很晚才起來，他們會忽略早餐，等待午餐，如今人們會把這種餐稱為早午餐，意思是在處於早餐和午餐的時間之間吃東西。事實上，不吃早餐對我們的健康不好，我們的身體整夜都沒有攝入食物，需要在早餐的時間攝入食物，這樣我們的身體才有能量工作。想像一下，一台沒有電的機器如何工作，而早餐就相當於電。由於早操是如此的重要，我們必須要按時進食，這樣我們的身體才能好好工作，並保持健康。

上周，我的朋友叫我和她一起去拜訪她的家鄉，她告訴我她的家鄉很美麗，因此我徵求了父母的意見，他們同意了。我們決定停留一周，第一次離開家讓我很開心，我就像一隻鳥兒，在天空中飛翔，呼吸著自由的空氣。但是第四天的時候，我開始想念父母，特別是在夜晚來臨的時候，黑暗讓我覺得孤單，我只是想要和父母呆在一起。直到那時我才意識到家是甜蜜的，我的父母是最可愛的人。回家對於我來說真好。

人們總是說回到甜蜜的家，毫無疑問，對每個人來說，家是很重要的。在我上高中以前，我一直和父母住在一起，因此我對家的認識並不多。在我看來，家是我住的地方。但是當我去到寄宿學校，我不得不離開家，住在學校。這是我第一次遠離家。我總是想念家，我離開的時間越長，就越想念家人。當我有假期了，我就跑回家，等不及要去見家人。如今，我懂得了家的意義，這不僅僅是我住的地方，也是我的安全地帶。無論我去哪裡，或者遇到什麼困難，我的家人都會支持我。

每年，當6月8號到來的時候，對於中國的高中生來說是個大日子，因為他們需要參加一場很重要的考試，這將會決定他們未來的大學。同時，也意味著和高中生活說再見。在每個班級，學生對他們的班主任都會留下很深刻的印象，即使他們畢業，仍然能記得班主任。做班主任是不容易的，他不得不隨時跟著學生的工作，而且，大部分學生不喜歡班主任。所以當學生高中畢業了，一位班主任說感謝他的學生忍受了他三年。這些話是多麼感人啊，學生也知道班主任的好意。沒有班主任的監督，他們就無法走得那麼遠。

美好青春 Being Young Is Good
Last night, I went to my friend』s birthday party, I made some friends. We talked happily, one of my new friends showed us the pictures of the places he had been visited. We were so envious, all of us had the dream to go travel to many places, but none of us took the action. He told us that we were so young and had the energy to see the world. He told us to carry out the plan once we had the idea. What he told us is right, we are young and it is good to be young. In the old people』s eyes, we are so free and can go where we want. But most of the young people haven』t realized the right they have, they waste their youth and dare not to do what they want.
昨晚，我去了朋友的生日派對，結交了一些朋友。我們聊得很愉快，其中一個新朋友向我們展示了他去過的地方的照片。我們很羨慕，我們都有夢想要去旅遊很多地方，但是沒有人採取行動。他告訴我們說我們是如此的年輕，有精力去看看這個世界。他告訴我們去實施計劃一旦我們有想法。他對我們說的是對的，我們年輕，年輕就是好。在老人家的眼裡，我們很自由，可以到處去。但是大部分年輕人都沒有意識到他們擁有的權利，他們浪費了自己的青春，不敢做自己想做的事情。

The driver stopped the bus off the road and then stopped his breath. I was so touched by the driver, in the emergency situation, he considered the passengers』 lives in the first place. It is his sense of responsibility that makes him to do it. The driver sets the good example to the public, he shows the importance of responsibility. No matter what we do, we should not forget about taking our responsibility. If people don』t take their own responsibility, then things will be out of order, the world will be in the mess. Responsibility always comes first.
一大早，我就打開電腦看新聞。有一則消息是關於一個司機在開車時心臟病發作，車上有超過40個人。司機把車開在了路邊，然後停止了呼吸。我被這位司機感動，在緊急的情況下，他把乘客的生命放在第一位。正是他的責任感讓他這樣做。司機給大眾樹立了好榜樣，他展示了責任的重要性。無論我們做什麼，都不應該忘記履行我們的職責。如果人們不這樣做，事情就會出亂，世界就會陷入混亂。責任大於山。

珍惜目前所有 Cherish What We Have
Today, as I had nothing to do, so I opened my computer and found a movie to watch. I thought about the movie that my friend asked me to watch, it was called 13 Is Going on 30. The story told about a 13 years old girl wanted to be a woman, so that she could have the beautiful face and perfect body shape. She wanted to date any handsome guy she liked. Then the magical thing happened, she became 30 and she got everything. But she felt lost, because her life was totally messed. I had the same feeling with the girl when I was at her age, I wanted to grow up quickly. But now, when I look at that age, I think it is better to cherish what I had at that time. Every stage of life has its happiness, so there is no need to skip the stage.
今天，由於我沒有事情做，因此我打開電腦，尋找電影來看。我想到了我朋友叫我看的電影，叫《女孩夢三十》。這個故事講述了一個13歲的女孩想要成為一名女人，這樣她就能擁有美麗的臉龐和完美的身材。她想要和任何喜歡的英俊男孩約會。然後神奇的事情發生了，她變成了30歲的女人，並且擁有一切。但是她感到失落，因為她的生活很混亂。當我處在那個女孩年齡的時候，我和她有同樣的感覺，我想要快點長大。但是如今，當我回望那個年紀，我覺得還是珍惜當時所擁有的比較好。每個年齡段都有它的快樂，因此沒有必要去跨過那個階段。

午後時光 Afternoon Time
Today was Saturday, early in the morning, I woke up and stayed at home the whole morning to watch TV. After finishing my lunch, I had nothing to do, so I decided to call my friends out. I headed to the coffee shop which was near a square. There were a lot of people in the square, some women were dancing and singing, while some men were taking the chess. I walked into the coffee shop, chose a table which was near the window, so that I could see the outside scenery. When my friends came, we talked happily, we shared the things that happened ring these days. Then all my pressure was relieved, I forgot about the annoyance on my study. At that moment, I was enjoying the time talking with my friends. I had the great time this afternoon.
今天是星期六，一大早，我就起床了，整個上午，我都呆在家裡看電視。在吃完午飯後，我沒有什麼事情去做，因此我決定叫我的朋友們出去。我前往一家廣場附近的咖啡店。廣場里有很多人，一些女人在唱歌和跳舞，然而一些男人在下象棋。我走進了咖啡店，選擇了一張近窗口的桌子，這樣我就能看到外面的風景。當我的朋友們來了以後，我們聊得很愉快，分享了在這段時間發生的事情。然後我所有的壓力都得到了釋放，我忘記了學習上的煩惱。在那個時刻，我享受著和朋友們聊天的時光。今天下午我度過了愉快的時光。

On Nov.18th,1908,three men went up in a balloon（氣球）.They started early in London. The headman was Augusta Gaudron, and the other two men were Tannar and Maitland. They had a big balloon and they were ready for a long way.
Soon they heard the sea. They were carrying the usual rope（繩子）,and it was hanging down from the basket of the balloon. At the end of the rope they had tied a metal box. This could hold water, or it could be empty. So they were able to change its weight（重量）.It was for use over the sea. They were also carrying some bags of sand.
After the sun rose, the balloon went higher. It went up to 3,000 metres, and the air was very cold. The water in the balloon became ice. Snow fell past the men's basket, and they could see more snow on the ground. The men tried to throw out some more sand; but it was hard. They tried to break the icy sand with their knives, but it was not easy. The work was slow and they were still falling, so they had to drop some whole bags of sand. One of them fell on an icy lake and made a black hole in the ice.
At last they pulled the box into the basket. It was still snowing; so they climbed to get away from the snow. They rose to 5,100 metres! Everything became icy. They were so cold that they decided to land. They came down in Poland heavily but safely. They had travelled 1,797 kilometers from London!
