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.

❹ 适合五年级的,带有练习题英语阅读理解小短文(15篇)
雅思小作文是写作中的部分，对于烤鸭来说也有着举足轻重的作用，在考前，小编给大家深度解析在小作文的各类题目，以便大家对此更加了解。
在雅思写作考中，部分小作文，虽然小作文的分值不高，但是烤鸭也应该要先去尽量完全它，为帮大了解它，小编深度解析小作文中的各种题目。
图表类题目
想要解这种题我们要先来了解下西方人的思维模式：西方人做事情往往是跟我们东方人不样，西方人往往是讲究数字的，即他们都会使用种统计数据，资料来源，实验，以及还有报告来突出实事求是的学术精神;他们会用客观的数据事实来支持你的个人观点。
所以上海环球雅思培训老师认为如果你要到西方去留学，那么用数据描述统计图表的能力几乎都是每门课的教授所要求学生掌握的，同时也是学生写论文时常常要掌握的能力之。所以，图表类的小作文已经占据到了小作文出题次数80%以上的比例。
流程图和地图题题目
流程图的原理是：描述事物工作原理以及具体的流程。主要的目的是针对理工科学生在论文中需要描述机械原理，工艺流程。但是由于目前到海外去读工科的学生并不多，所以流程图出题的概率相对来说并不高，年大概也就3-5次左右。
地图题的原理是：需要去描述某个地区或者图纸布局的变化。主要的目的是让学生学会方位的表达，尤其是针对那些将来要到海外去学城市规划，地产开发，以及还有园林布局等专业的学生。但是因为这些学生的数量相对来说也不多，所以地图题年的出题概率可能也不高，年大概也就那么3-4次左右。

昨晚，我的朋友们和我一起回到了初中的校园。我们走了一圈校园，说起了在那个时候的趣事。我们很快就要上大学了，因此我们即将分离，但是我们对将来的校园生活感到高兴。突然，我的脑海中出现了一个主意，我对朋友说我们可以定一个四年后的约定，那时候我们也毕业了。朋友们很兴奋，同意我的想法。因此我们约定四年后，在这里相聚。我开始想象四年后的自己会变成什么样子，或许老师，或许商人。这个约定让我们有机会和彼此保持联系。我期待着实现这个约定。

早餐Breakfast
Today,,becauseafteraday’sworking,theywillfindfunatnight,,too.Astheyarewakeupsolate,,,.,ourbodyhasn’ttakeinthingsallthenight,,.Thinkingaboutthis,,.Asbreakfastissoimportant,wemusthaveitontime,.
今天，年轻一代喜欢熬夜，经过一天的工作以后，他们会在晚上出去寻找乐子，因此他们很晚才回家，然后也很晚才起来。由于他们很晚才起来，他们会忽略早餐，等待午餐，如今人们会把这种餐称为早午餐，意思是在处于早餐和午餐的时间之间吃东西。事实上，不吃早餐对我们的健康不好，我们的身体整夜都没有摄入食物，需要在早餐的时间摄入食物，这样我们的身体才有能量工作。想象一下，一台没有电的机器如何工作，而早餐就相当于电。由于早操是如此的重要，我们必须要按时进食，这样我们的身体才能好好工作，并保持健康。

回家真好ItIsGoodtoGoHome

上周，我的朋友叫我和她一起去拜访她的家乡，她告诉我她的家乡很美丽，因此我征求了父母的意见，他们同意了。我们决定停留一周，第一次离开家让我很开心，我就像一只鸟儿，在天空中飞翔，呼吸着自由的空气。但是第四天的时候，我开始想念父母，特别是在夜晚来临的时候，黑暗让我觉得孤单，我只是想要和父母呆在一起。直到那时我才意识到家是甜蜜的，我的父母是最可爱的人。回家对于我来说真好。

我的家MyHome

人们总是说回到甜蜜的家，毫无疑问，对每个人来说，家是很重要的。在我上高中以前，我一直和父母住在一起，因此我对家的认识并不多。在我看来，家是我住的地方。但是当我去到寄宿学校，我不得不离开家，住在学校。这是我第一次远离家。我总是想念家，我离开的时间越长，就越想念家人。当我有假期了，我就跑回家，等不及要去见家人。如今，我懂得了家的意义，这不仅仅是我住的地方，也是我的安全地带。无论我去哪里，或者遇到什么困难，我的家人都会支持我。

一位班主任的话AnHeadTeacher’sWords

每年，当6月8号到来的时候，对于中国的高中生来说是个大日子，因为他们需要参加一场很重要的考试，这将会决定他们未来的大学。同时，也意味着和高中生活说再见。在每个班级，学生对他们的班主任都会留下很深刻的印象，即使他们毕业，仍然能记得班主任。做班主任是不容易的，他不得不随时跟着学生的工作，而且，大部分学生不喜欢班主任。所以当学生高中毕业了，一位班主任说感谢他的学生忍受了他三年。这些话是多么感人啊，学生也知道班主任的好意。没有班主任的监督，他们就无法走得那么远。

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对，结交了一些朋友。我们聊得很愉快，其中一个新朋友向我们展示了他去过的地方的照片。我们很羡慕，我们都有梦想要去旅游很多地方，但是没有人采取行动。他告诉我们说我们是如此的年轻，有精力去看看这个世界。他告诉我们去实施计划一旦我们有想法。他对我们说的是对的，我们年轻，年轻就是好。在老人家的眼里，我们很自由，可以到处去。但是大部分年轻人都没有意识到他们拥有的权利，他们浪费了自己的青春，不敢做自己想做的事情。

责任大于山 Responsibility Comes First
Early in the morning, I opened my computer and read the news. There was the news about a driver had the heart disease attack when he was driving the bus, there were more than 40 people in the bus. 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，我就打开电脑看新闻。有一则消息是关于一个司机在开车时心脏病发作，车上有超过40个人。司机把车开在了路边，然后停止了呼吸。我被这位司机感动，在紧急的情况下，他把乘客的生命放在第一位。正是他的责任感让他这样做。司机给大众树立了好榜样，他展示了责任的重要性。无论我们做什么，都不应该忘记履行我们的职责。如果人们不这样做，事情就会出乱，世界就会陷入混乱。责任大于山。

珍惜目前所有 Cherish What We Have

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，由于我没有事情做，因此我打开电脑，寻找电影来看。我想到了我朋友叫我看的电影，叫《女孩梦三十》。这个故事讲述了一个13岁的女孩想要成为一名女人，这样她就能拥有美丽的脸庞和完美的身材。她想要和任何喜欢的英俊男孩约会。然后神奇的事情发生了，她变成了30岁的女人，并且拥有一切。但是她感到失落，因为她的生活很混乱。当我处在那个女孩年龄的时候，我和她有同样的感觉，我想要快点长大。但是如今，当我回望那个年纪，我觉得还是珍惜当时所拥有的比较好。每个年龄段都有它的快乐，因此没有必要去跨过那个阶段。

On Nov.18th,1908,three men went up in a balloon（气球）.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（绳子）,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!
