大学英语作文 篇1
several years ago i was diagnosed with cancer. it was the most difficult time i have ever faced. i think it was my sense of humor that allowed me to hold onto my sanity. like many people who have gone through chemotherapy, i lost all of my hair and i was bald as a cue ball. i always had enjoyed wearing hats, so when my hair deserted me, i ordered several special hats with the hair already attached. it was easy and i never had to worry about how my hair looked.
i have always been a big golf fan. in fact, i have been to twenty-three straight u.s. opens. at one point during my cancer treatments, my husband john and i decided to get away from the cold minnesota winter and took a trip to scottsdale, arizona. there was a senior pga tour event called the tradition being played, and that seemed like just the ticket to lift my spirits.
the first day of the tournament brought out a huge gallery. it was a beautiful day, and i was in heaven. i was standing just off the third tee, behind the fairway ropes, watching my three favorite golfers in the world approach the tee bo: jack nicklaus, raymond floyd and tom weiskopf.
just as they arrived at the tee, the unimaginable happened. a huge gust of wind came up from out of nowhere and blew my hat and hair right off my head and into the middle of the fairway! the thousands of spectators lining the fairway fell into an awkward silence, all eyes on me. even my golf idols were watching me, as my hair was in their flight path. i was mortified! embarrassed as i was, i knew i couldnt just stand there. someone had to do something to get things moving again.
so i took a deep breath, went under the ropes and out into the middle of the fairway. i grabbed my hat and hair, nestled them back on my head as best i could. then i turned to the golfers and loudly announced, gentlemen, the wind is blowing from left to right.
they said the laughter could be heard all the way to the nineteenth hole.

大学英语作文 篇3
Many students spend money in a quite extravagant way. They see things they like and they must have them, no matter how expensive: clothes, jewelry, shoes, facials, hair and nails for girls; clothes, watches, shoes and electronics for guys. It seems that many students reach university and go a little wild with all the freedom after the stress of high school.
There are two differing opinions about this phenomenon. Some feel that it is fine for students to have a little fun; after all, they can only enjoy their lives in college, since after graduation, there will be nothing but work, work, and more work. Others, however, frown on the extravagance; college is, they point out, the period when people form habits of independent living, since it is probably the first time that most children have been somewhat independent from parents.
In my opinion, we college students need to have some restraint in our spending habits. Most of us are still financially dependent on parents, but we are preparing for independence very soon. If we get used to spending extravagantly now, the adjustment to adult life will be extremely difficult.
许多大学生花钱大手大脚。他们看到自己喜欢的东西，他们就想拥有，无论多么昂贵的衣服，首饰，鞋，美容，女孩子的头发和指甲；衣服，手表，鞋子和电子产品等等。似乎很多学生度过了高中的压力到了大学后会野一点。
有两种不同意见的这种现象。有些人认为，学生有一点乐趣，这是好的；毕竟，他们只能享受他们在大学的生活，自从毕业后，只会有工作，工作，和更多的工作。其他人，然而，不铺张浪费；大学，他们指出，这时期的人们形成独立的生活习惯，因为它可能是大多数孩子第一次离开父母有独立的生活。
在我看来，大学生的.消费习惯需要有一些限制。我们中的大多数人仍然在经济上依赖父母，但我们准备不久后独立。如果我们习惯于花费奢侈的现在，调整到成人的生活将是非常困难的。
大学英语作文 篇4
From the various houses we can see candlelight but no electricity. There's a quiet that blankets the whole area, disturbed only by the almost whispered of the people as they stand around. CHARLIE stares across at GOODMAN's house.
Sally (a little timid): It doesn't seem right, though, keeping watch on them. Why, he was right when he said he was one of our neighbors. Why, I've known Ethel Goodman ever since they moved in. We've been good friends—
Charlie: That doesn't prove a thing. Any guy who'd spend his time looking up at the sky early in the morning—well, there's something wrong with that person. Maybe under normal circumstances we could let it go by, but these aren't normal circumstances.
(STEVE, from several yards away, walks down the steps of his porch, and down the street over to LES GOODMAN's house. He stops at the foot of the steps. GOODMAN stands there. MRS. GOODMAN stands behind him, very frightened.)
Goodman: Just stay right where you are, Steve. We don't want any trouble, but this time if anybody sets foot on my porch—that's what they're going to get—trouble!
Steve: Look, Les—
Goodman: I've already explained to you people. I don't sleep very well at night sometimes. I get up and I take a walk and I look up at the sky. I look at the stars! Mrs.
Goodman: That's exactly what he does. Why, this whole thing, it's... it's madness.
Steve (nods): That's exactly what it is—some kind of madness.
Charlie's voice (shrill, from across the street): You'd better watch who you're seen with, Steve! Until we get this all straightened out, you aren't exactly above suspicion yourself.
Steve (whirling around toward him): Or you, Charlie. Or any of us. From age eight and up!
Woman: What I'd like to know is—what are we going to do? Just stand around here all night?
Charlie: There's nothin' else we can do!
Steve (raising his voice): There's something you can do, Charlie. You could go
home and keep your mouth shut. You could quit walking around like a self-appointed hanging judge and just climb into bed and forget it.
Charlie: You sound real anxious to have that happen, Steve. I think we'd better keep our eye on you, too!
Don: I think everything might as well come out now. (He turns toward STEVE.)
Your wife's done plenty of talking, Steve, about how odd you are!
Charlie (picking this up, his eyes widening): Go ahead, tell us what she's said.
(STEVE walks toward them from across the street.)
Steve: Go ahead, what's my wife said? Let's get it all out. Let's pick out every unusual habit of every single man, woman, and child on the street. And then we might as well set up some kind of a kangaroo court. How about a firing squad at dawn, Charlie, so we can get rid of all the suspects?
Don: There's no need getting so upset, Steve. It's just that... well... Myra's talked about how there's been plenty of nights you spent hours down in your basement workin' on some kind of radio.
(By this time STEVE has reached the group. He stands there defiantly close to them.)
Charlie: Go ahead, Steve. What kind of "radio set" are you workin'on? Who do you talk to on the radio set? And who talks to you?
Steve: I'm surprised at you, Charlie. How come you're so dense all of a sudden? (a pause) Who do I talk to? I talk to monsters from outer space. I talk to three—headed green men who fly over here in what look like meteors.
(MRS. BRAND steps down from the porch, bites her lip, calls out.)
Mrs. Brand: Steve! Steve, please. (Then looking around frightened, she walks to ward the group.) It's just a ham radio set. A lot of people have them. I can show it to you. It's right down in the basement.
Steve (whirls around toward her): Show them nothing! If they want to look inside our house—let them get a search warrant.
Charlie: Look, man, you can't afford to—
Steve (interrupting): Don't start telling me who's dangerous and who isn't, and who's safe and who's a menace. (He turns to the group and shouts.) And you're with him, too—all of you! You're standing here all set to find a scapegoat—all desperate to point a finger at a neighbor! Well now, look, friends, the only thing that's going to happen is that we'll eat each other up alive—
(He stops abruptly as CHARLIE suddenly grabs his arm.)
Charlie (in a hushed voice): That's not the only thing that can happen to us. (A figure suddenly materializes in the darkness. In the silence we can hear the slow, measured footsteps on concrete as the figure walks slowly toward them. One of the women lets out a stifled cry.)
Tommy (shouting, frightened): It's the monster! It's the monster!
(The people fall back in a group, staring toward the darkness and the approaching figure. DON MARTIN joins them, carrying a shotgun. He holds it up.)
Don: We may need this.
Steve: A shotgun? (He pulls it out of DON 's hand.) Will you people wise up? What good would a shotgun do against—
(CHARLIE pulls the gun from STEVE's hand.)
Charlie: No more talk, Steve. You're going to talk us into a grave! You'd let whatever's out there walk right over us, wouldn't you? Well, some of us won't!
(He swings the gun around to point it toward the sidewalk. The dark figure continues to walk toward them. CHARLIE slowly raises the gun. As the figure gets closer, he pulls the trigger. The sound explodes in the stillness. The figure lets out a small cry, falls forward first onto his knees, and then on his face. DON, CHARLIE, and STEVE run over to him. STEVE is there first and turns the man over. The crowd gathers around them.)
Steve (slowly looks up): It's Pete Van Horn.
Don (in a hushed voice): Pete Van Horn! He was just going to go over to the next block to see if the power was on.
Woman: You killed him, Charlie. You shot him dead!
Charlie (looks around at the circle of faces, his eyes frightened): But. . . but I didn't know who he was. I certainly didn't know who he was. He comes walkin' out of the darkness—how am I supposed to know who he was? (He grabs STEVE.) Steve—you know why I shot! How was I supposed to know he wasn't a monster or something?
(He grabs DON.) We're all scared of the same thing. I was just tryin'to. . . tryin'to protect my home, that's all! (He looks down wildly at the body.) I didn't know it was somebody we knew! I didn't know...
(There 's a sudden hush in the group. Across the street all the lights go on in one of the houses.)
Woman (in a very hushed voice): Charlie... Charlie... the lights just went on in your house. Why did the lights go on?
Don: What about it, Charlie? How come you're the only one with lights now?
Goodman: That's what I'd like to know.
(There's a pause as they all stare toward CHARLIE.)
Goodman: You were so quick to kill, Charlie, and you were so quick to tell us who we had to be careful of. Well, maybe you had to kill. Maybe Pete there was trying to tell us something, to tell us who there was amongst us we should watch out for—
(CHARLIE backs away from the group, his eyes wide with fright.)
Charlie: No... no...it's nothing of the sort! I don't know why the lights are on. I swear I don't. Somebody's making a joke or something.
(He bumps against STEVE, who grabs him and furns him around.)
Steve: A joke? Charlie, there's a dead man on the sidewalk, and you killed him!
Does this thing look like a gag to you?
(CHARLIE breaks away and screams as he runs toward his house.)
(A man breaks away from the crowd to run after CHARLIE. The man tackles him and lands on top of him. The other people start to run toward them. CHARLIE gets up on his feet, breaks away from the other man's grasp and jumps up on his front porch. A rock thrown from the group smashes a window alongside of him. The broken glass flies past him. A couple of pieces cut him. He stands there, blood running down from a cut on his cheek. His wife breaks away from the group and throws herself into his arms. We can see the crowd moving in on the porch.)
First Voice: It must have been him.
Second Voice: He's the one.
Third Voice: We've got to get Charlie.
(Another rock lands on the porch. CHARLIE pushes his wife behind him and faces the group.)
Charlie: Look, look, I swear to you... it isn't me... but I do know who it is. I swear to you. I know who the monster is here.
Don: All right, Charlie, let's hear it!
Second Man (screaming): Go ahead, Charlie; tell us.
Charlie: It's...it's the kid. It's Tommy.
Sally: That's crazy. He's only a boy.
Woman: But he knew! He was the only one who knew! He told us all about it. Well, how could he have known?
(People in the crowd take this up and repeat the question aloud.)
First Voice: How could he know?
Second Voice: Who told him?
Third Voice: Make the kid answer.
(Sally grabs TOMMY and starts to run with him. The crowd starts to follow, at first walking fast, and then running after them. Suddenly CHARLIE's lights go off, and the lights in another house go on.)
Man (shouting): It isn't the kid...it's Bob Weaver's house.
Woman: No, it's Don Martin's place.
Charlie: I tell you it's the kid.
Don: It's Charlie. He's the one.
(Various people shout, accuse each other, scream. House lights go on and off.)
Scene Two
In a nearby field sits a space craft in darkness. An open door throws out a beam of light from the inside. Two figures appear.
First Figure: Understand the procedure now? Just stop a few of their machines and radios and telephones and lawn mowers... throw them into darkness for a few hours, and then just sit back and watch the effect.
Second Figure: And this effect is always the same?
First Figure: With little difference. They pick the most dangerous enemy they can find. . .and it's themselves.
Second Figure: Then I take it this place...this Maple Street...is not an exception.
First Figure: By no means. Their world is full of Maple Streets. And we 'll go from one to the other and let them destroy themselves. One to the other...one to the other...one to the other...
各家各户都亮起了蜡烛，没有电。寂静笼罩了整个社区，只能听到人们站在那里小声说话的声音。夏利的目光越过街道，盯着古德曼的房屋。
萨莉（有点儿害怕）：看起来不对劲儿，盯紧他们。为什么，他说他是我们的邻居，这是对的？为什么，从他们搬来我就了解埃塞尔.古德曼的，我们一直是好朋友...
夏利：这说明不了什么。这个总是大清早盯着天空看的家伙...他有点儿问题。或许一般情况下我们会忽略这一点，但是现在不正常。
（史蒂夫从几码之外走下门廊的台阶，沿街走到勒思.古德曼的房前，他在台阶前停下来。古德曼站在那里，古德曼夫人害怕地站在他身后。）
古德曼：就站在那里别动，史蒂夫。我们不想有什么麻烦，但是这次如果有人踏上我家门廊...他就会有麻烦的！
史蒂夫：听着，勒思...
古德曼：我已经跟你们解释了，有时候晚上睡不好，我会起来散步，看看天空，我看的是星星！夫人。
史蒂夫（点头）：确实是...有点疯狂。
夏利的声音（尖叫，从街对面传过来）：你最好清楚大家是怎么看待你的，史蒂夫！在所有的事情澄清之前，你根本不是无可怀疑的！
史蒂夫（转向他）：或者是你，或者我们中的哪个，八岁以上的哪个人！
妇女：我想知道的是--我们在这里做什么？站一整夜吗？
夏利：除此之外没什么可做的！
史蒂夫（抬高嗓音）：你有事做的，夏利。你可以回家，闭上嘴。你可以像个自己做主判处绞刑的法官那样爬到床上，忘掉这件事。
夏利：看来你真的希望这样，史蒂夫。我想我们最好也盯住你！
顿：我希望最好现在就真相大白。（他转向史蒂夫。）你妻子总说你如何的古怪！
夏利（听到这里，他瞪大双眼）：快说，她怎么说的！
（史蒂夫从街对面走向人群。）
史蒂夫：说，我妻子怎么说的？一切都说清楚，让我们找出街上每个男人、女人、孩子的不寻常的习惯。我们还可以设立个私设法庭之类的。天亮时成立个行刑队怎么样，夏利？这样我们就可以免受怀疑?
顿：没必要这么紧张，史蒂夫。只是...麦拉很多个晚上你总在地下室摆弄些无线电什么的。
（这时史蒂夫走到人群跟前，挑战地站在他们面前。）
夏利：说吧，史蒂夫。你在摆弄哪种“无线电”呢？你在无线电里跟谁说话呢？谁在跟你说话呢？
史蒂夫：我对你感到吃惊，夏利。你怎么突然变得这么愚蠢呢？（顿了下）谁跟我说话？我在跟太空的怪物说话，我跟三个...飞来的绿色脑袋、流星一样的人说话。
（布兰德夫人从门廊上走下，咬了下嘴唇，叫道。）
布兰德夫人：史蒂夫，史蒂夫，请...（她害怕地看着四周，避开人群。）那只是个业务无线电，很多人都有的.，我可以给你们看，就在地下室里。
史蒂夫（转向妻子）：什么都不要给他们看！如果他们想看我们的房间...让他们拿搜索证来。
夏利：看，家伙，你承担不起...
史蒂夫（打断他的话）：不要告诉我谁危险，谁不危险，谁是安全的，谁是威胁。（他转向人群，叫道。）你们跟他一样---所有的人都是！你们站在那里只是找一个替罪羊...拼命地在邻居间找一个人出来！现在，看吧，朋友们，唯一要发生的事就是，我们要相互咬死对方...
（夏利猛地抓住他的胳膊，史蒂夫突然停下来。）
夏利（低声地）：这不是唯一要发生的事。（黑暗中突然出现一个人影，人影慢慢走进时，寂静中人们听到水泥地上的缓慢、有规律的脚步声，一个妇女发出一声被抑制的叫声。）
汤米（害怕地叫）：是怪物，怪物！
（人群往后退，盯着黑暗中走来的人影。顿.马丁带上一支，加入人群，他举起枪。）
顿：我们可能需要这个。
史蒂夫：？（他把枪从顿手中夺过来。）你脑子昏了吗？枪怎么能用来打...
（夏利从史蒂夫手中夺过枪。）
夏利：别说话，史蒂夫。你会把我们弄死的！你会让任何不明的东西逼近我们吗？我们有的人不会的！
（他摆动枪，对准人行道。黑色人影继续走向人群。夏利慢慢举起枪，人影走近时，他开动扳机。枪声在寂静中响起。人影发出轻微的呼叫，膝盖首先着地，然后是脸。顿，夏利和史蒂夫跑上前。史蒂夫第一个把这个人翻过身，人群把他们围起。）
史蒂夫（慢慢地看了看）：是皮特.范.合恩。
顿（小声地说）：皮特.范.合恩！他只是去临近街区看有没有电。
妇女：你杀了他，夏利，你杀死了他！
夏利（看看四周的面孔，眼神中露出害怕的神情来）：但是...我不知道是谁。我当然不知道他是谁。他从黑暗中走来...我怎么能知道他是谁呢？（他抓住史蒂夫。）史蒂夫--你知道我为什么开枪的！为什么我会认为他不是怪兽什么的呢？
（他抓住顿。）我们都害怕同一样东西。我只是想试图...试图保护我的家，就是这样！（他疯狂地看着地下的尸体。）我不知道是我认识的人！我不知道...
（人群突然安静下来，街对面一家的每个灯都亮起来。）
妇女（低声说）：夏利...夏利...你家的灯亮了。为什么会亮呢？
顿：怎么回事，夏利？为什么只有你家的灯亮了？
古德曼：我也想知道这个。
（顿时人们盯着夏利。）
古德曼：你下手这么快，夏利，你这么快就告诉我们应该提防谁。或许你不得不杀人，或许皮特想告诉我们什么，告诉我们应该提防我们中的哪个人---
（夏利后退几步，眼睛睁大，满是恐惧。）
夏利：不...不...根本没这回事！我不知道灯为什么会亮？我发誓我不知道。有人在开玩笑什么的。
史蒂夫：玩笑？夏利，人行道上有人死人，使你杀的！你是在杀人灭口吗？
（夏利突然挣脱开，尖叫着冲回家去。）
（一个人从人群中跑开，追向夏利。他扭住夏利，把他推到在地。其他的人向他们跑过来，夏利从地上站起，挣脱另一个人，跳向他家前门廊。人群中扔出的石头打碎了他
旁边的窗子，碎裂的玻璃从他身旁飞过，几个碎片划伤了他。他站在那里，鲜血从脸上的伤口留下。他的妻子从人群中跑出来，扑向他的怀抱。人群向门廊走来。）
第一个声音：肯定是他！
第二个声音：就是他！
第三个声音：我们抓住夏利了。
（另一块石头扔到门廊上，夏利把妻子拉到身后，自己面对着人群。）
夏利：听着，听着，我对你们发誓...不是我...但是我确实知道是谁。我对你们发誓。我知道这里谁是怪物。
顿：好的，夏利，说来听听！
第二个男人（尖叫）：说吧，夏利，告诉我们。
夏利：是...是这个孩子。汤米！
萨莉：你疯了，他只是个孩子！
妇女：但是他知道！只有他知道！他告诉我们一切，他怎么知道的呢？
（人们听到这里，再一次大声反复地问。）
第一个声音：他怎么知道的？
第二个声音：谁告诉他的？
第三个声音：让这小孩说话！
（萨莉抓住汤米，开始跟他一起跑。人群开始追起来，起初跑得很快，后来就被甩在后面。突然夏利家的灯熄了，另一家的灯亮了。）
男人（大叫）：不是小孩家的...是鲍勃.韦弗家的。
妇女：不，是顿.马丁家的。
夏利：我告诉你是这小孩家的。
顿：是夏利，就是他。
（很多人大叫起来，互相指责着，尖叫着，房子里的灯亮了又熄了。）
场景二
附近黑暗中的田野里，是一艘宇宙飞船，一束光从一个打开的门中射出，两个身影出现了。
第一个身影：现在知道程序了吗？只要停掉他们的少数机器、收音机、电话和割草机...让他们在黑暗中呆上几个小时，然后坐在这里看结果吧。
第二个身影：结果总是一样的吗？
第一个身影：会有一点儿区别。他们找出能找到的最危险的敌人...就是他们自己。
第二个身影：那么我觉得这里...枫树街...并不是个例外。
第一个身影：根本不是。这个世界到处都是枫树街这样的地方。我们将去一个又一个地方，让他们自己毁掉自己。一个又一个...一个又一个...一个又一个...

大学英语作文 篇5
day had broken cold and gray, eceedingly cold and gray, when the man turned aside from the main yukon trail and climbed the high earth-bank, where a dim and little traveled trail led eastward through the fat spruce timberland。 it was a steep bank, and he paused for breath at the top, ecusing the act to himself by looking at his watch。 it was nine oclock。 there was no sun nor hint of sun, though there was not a cloud in the sky。 it was a clear day, and yet there seemed an intangible pall over the face of things, a subtle gloom that made the day dark, and that was due to the absence of sun。 this fact did not worry the man。 he was used to the lack of sun。 it had been days since he had seen the sun, and he knew that a few more-days must pass before that cheerful orb, due south, would just peep above the sky-line and dip immediately from view。
the man flung a look back along the way he had come。 the yukon lay a mile wide and hidden under three feet of ice。 on top of this ice were as many feet of snow。 it was all pure white, rolling in gentle, undulations where the ice jams of the freeze-up had formed。 north and south, as far as his eye could see, it was unbroken white, save for a dark hairline that curved and twisted from around the spruce-covered island to the south, and that curved and twisted away into the north, where it disappeared behind another spruce-covered island。 this dark hair-line was the trail--the main trail--that led south five hundred miles to the chilcoot pass, dyea, and salt water; and that led north seventy miles to dawson, and still on to the north a thousand miles to nulato, and finally to st。 michael on bering sea, a thousand miles and half a thousand more。
but all this--the mysterious, far-reaching hair-line trail。 the absence of sun from the sky, the tremendous cold, and the strangeness and weirdness of it all--made no impression on the man。 it was not because he was long used to it。 he was a newcomer! in the land, a chechaquo, and this was his first winter。 the trouble with him was that he was without imagination。 he was quick and alert in the things of life, but only in the things, and not in the significances。 fifty degrees below zero meant eighty-odd degrees of frost。 such fact impressed him as being cold and uncomfortable, and that was all。 it did not lead him to meditate upon his frailty as a creature of temperature, and upon mans frailty in general, able only to live within certain narrow limits of heat and cold; and from there on it did not lead him to the conjectural field of immortality and mans place in the universe。 fifty degrees below zero stood forte bite of frost that hurt and that must be guarded against by the use of mittens, ear-flaps, warm moccasins, and thick socks。 fifty degrees below zero was to him just precisely fifty degrees below zero。 that there should be anything more to it than that was a thought that never entered his head。
as he turned to go on, he spat speculatively。 there was a sharp, eplosive crackle that startled him。 he spat again。 and again, in the air, before it could fall to the snow, the spittle crackled。 he knew that at fifty below spittle crackled on the snow, but this spittle had crackled in the air。 undoubtedly it was colder than fifty below--how much colder he did not know。 but the temperature did not matter。 he was bound for the old claim on the left fork of henderson creek, where the boys were already。 they had come over across the divide from the indian creek country, while he had come the roundabout way to take; a look at the possibilities of getting out logs in the spring from the islands in the yukon。 he would be in to camp by si oclock; a bit after dark, it was true, but the boys would be there, a fire would be going, and a hot supper would be ready。 as for lunch, he pressed his hand against the protruding bundle under his jacket。 it was also under his shirt, wrapped up in a handkerchief and lying against the naked skin。 it was the only way to keep the biscuits from freezing。 he smiled agreeably to himself as he thought of those biscuits, each cut open and sopped in bacon grease, and each enclosing a generous slice of fried bacon。
he plunged in among the big spruce trees。 the trail was faint。 a foot of snow had fallen since the last sled had passed over, and he was glad he was without a sled, traveling light。 in fact, he carried nothing but the lunch wrapped in the handkerchief。 he was surprised, however, at the cold。 it certainly was cold, he concluded as he rubbed his numb nose and cheek-bones with his mittened hand。 he was a warm-whiskered man, but the hair on his face did not protect the high cheek-bones and the eager nose that thrust itself aggressively into the frosty air。
at the mans heels trotted a dog, a big native husky, the proper wolfdog, gray-coated and without any visible or temperamental difference from its brother, the wild wolf。 the animal was depressed by the tremendous cold。 it knew that it was no time for traveling。 its instinct told it a truer tale than was told to the man by the mans judgment。 in reality, it was not merely colder than fifty below zero; it was colder than sity below, than seventy below。 it was seventy-five below zero。 since the freezing point is thirty-two above zero, it meant that one hundred and seven degrees of frost obtained。 the dog did not know anything about thermometers。 possibly in its brain there was no sharp consciousness of a condition of very cold such as was in the mans brain。 but the brute had its instinct。 it eperienced a vague but menacing apprehension that subdued it and made it slink along at the mans heels, and that made it question eagerly every unwonted movement of the man as if epecting him to go into camp or to seek shelter somewhere and build a fire。 the dog had learned fire, and it wanted fire, or else to burrow under the snow and cuddle its warmth away from the air。
the frozen moisture of its breathing had settled on its fur in a fine powder of frost, and especially were its jowls, muzzle, and eyelashes whitened by its crystalled breath。 the mans red beard and mustache were likewise frosted, but more solidly, the deposit taking the form of ice and increasing with every warm, moist breath he ehaled。 also, the man was chewing tobacco, and the muzzle of ice held his lips so rigidly that he was unable to clear his chin when he epelled the juice。 the result was that a crystal beard of the color and solidity of amber was increasing its length on his chin。 if he fell down it would shatter itself, like glass, into brittle fragments。 but he did not mind the appendage。 it was the penalty all tobacco-chewers paid in that country, and he had been out before in two cold snaps。 they had not been so cold as this, he knew, but by the spirit thermometer at sity mile he knew they had been registered at fifty below and at fifty-five。
he held on through the level stretch of woods for several miles, crossed a wide flat of rigger-heads, and dropped down a bank to the frozen bed of a small stream。 this was henderson creek, and he knew he was ten miles from the forks。 he looked at his watch。 it was ten oclock。 he was making four miles an hour, and he calculated that he would arrive at the forks at half-past twelve。 he decided to celebrate that event by eating his lunch there。
the dog dropped in again at his heels, with a tail drooping discouragement, as the man swung along the creek-bed。 the furrow of the old sled-trail was plainly visible, but a dozen inches of snow covered the marks of the last runners。 in a month no man had come up or down that silent creek。 the man held steadily on。 he was not much given to thinking, and just then particularly he had nothing to think about save that he would eat lunch at-the forks and that at si oclock he would be in camp with the boys。 there was nobody to talk to; and, had there been, speech would have been impossible because of the ice-muzzle on his mouth。 so he continued monotonously to chew tobac

Post-holiday Syndrome Among Students
With the gloomy prospect of returning toschool, many students could suffer from post-holiday syndrome, which refers to a general feelingof depression before returning to campus life, which is caused by irregular lifestyles duringthe holiday. Symptoms include fatigue, lack of appetite and concentration, irritability and afeeling of helplessness.
Various reasons can account for it. But most important of all, a large number of studentstend to overindulge themselves in eating, merrymaking and playing around during the holidays,which makes it difficult to adjust to their routine study schedule and life pace on the campus.
My suggestions to deal with this syndrome are as follows. First，exercising and sticking toa normal schedule over the holidays will make a difference and nip post-holiday syndrome inthe bud. Besides, it pays to return a few days earlier before the semester starts. The earlyreturn seems to have kept the holiday blues at bay.

大学英语作文 篇8
The bright and dark sides of my university life
Every coin has two sides. On the one hand, I am quite satisfied with my university life. On the other hand, life in my university is not as satisfactory as what we had expected.
Here is the bright side of my university life: Firstly, Equipment of my university is advanced and teacher team is powerful. There is an advanced library that owns all kinds of books. So we can acquire a lot of knowledge from my university. Secondly, all sorts of lectures are given on campus. We can learn much knowledge that is interesting. Thirdly, my
campus activities are rich and colorful. Such as sports meets, speech contests, different social gatherings and dancing parties provide opportunities to make friends. What’s more, my dormitory life is very harmonious. Dormitory life is an important part of my university life. On the one hand, we can have a good rest and put our heart into study. On the other hand, we will have a good mood and enjoy being together.
This is the dark side of my university life: Firstly, there is only one dining room in my university. So we often need to wait in a long line, which waste much time. Everyday is always fixed cuisine types, which make our appetites depressed. Secondly, self-study room is not enough. Now we will soon take final exam. So it is difficult to find a self-study room. What’s more, network of my university is very unstable. It is difficult to search
literature in my dormitory, which waste too much time.In short, I am quite satisfied with my university life, but there is still some room for improvement. I am convinced that my university life will become better and better.
