错文： A Visit to Beijing Zoo
Last Sunday morning, I and my friend go to visit the Beijing Zoo. We went by bike. It take us about half a hour to get there. When we get to there, it is already crowded with people. There was a lot of foreign visitors, too. It is said that the Beijing Zoo is largest in Asia and one of the largest in the world. There are hundred of different kinds of animals. It will take a whole day to see all the animals there. So we decided to saw some of the most interesting ones. We saw the elephants first and then the monkeys. Finally we go to see our favourite "friends"--the giant pandas. We were delighted to see them waving to us. We really have a wonderful time in the zoo.

【五年级作文】数学期末考试反思
【五年级作文】数学期末考试反思 前天，我们考了期末考试，今天，卷子出来了，我们班考的很差。说实话，我并不是 很伤心，因为我毕竟考了100分，可是，我也是应该反思反思的，因为我没有得数学书写 加分。 虽说这一次的书写加分并不会加，可是，我还是感觉应该反思。卷子的第一面，我写 的是比较干净整齐的，可是到了后面，便净是划的，书写不是很强。因为当时在考试前， 老师就说过，我们一定要细心，一定要反复读过许多遍题，才开始答题，因为我们要用碳 素笔答题，答错了就还得划。 当时，我也是没有听进去的，所以在考试的时候，一道解决问题时，我没有好好读题，把这个圆锥算成了圆柱，带着圆柱算出了结果。可我检查时，才发现不对劲，应该是一个 圆锥，于是我把算式划了，又在角落里写出了算式。 这道题老师是给我算对了，可是因为我的不细心，所以我未能加上书写分。唉！这也 是我数学期末考试最大的失误吧。 感谢您的阅读，希望文章能帮助到您。 一道判断题，令我很难忘。这道题是：买一送一就是打五折。我当时就感觉眼前有了 一片雾，到底（√）还是（×）啊！最后，我犹犹豫豫的打上了（√），我只能选这个了。考完后，我和李可馨还在那里一直讨论，究竟是对还是错。李可馨发表了自己的观点，因 为她认为是错的，我也有点怀疑了。后来又听朱博洋说应该是相当于。我当时内心忐忑不安，但是问了问老师，老师说：“当然是对的了，我们讲过啊！”我一想，也是啊，老师 不就是讲过吗。当时，我就是没有认真的思考啊！ 还有一道解决问题，老师明明讲过了，可是我还在那里反复试了好多遍，犹豫了还几 分钟，我感觉这是不应该出现的。其它的方面我认为自己做的还不错，起码注意到了一些 其他优等生没注意到的细节。 虽说我考试考的很好，可是我在考场的表现并不是很好的。当检查了20分钟后，我 就无心检查了，在那里写了一些与考试无关的东西。可是老天还是看我语文考得太差，给 了我100分啊！ 感谢您的阅读，祝您生活愉快。

As a manager, Tiffany is responsible for interviewing applicants for some of the positions with her company .During one interview, she noticed that the candidate never made direct eye contact. She was puzzled and somewhat disappointed because she liked the individual otherwise. He had a perfect resume and gave good responses to her questions, but the fact that he never looked her in the eye said “untrustworthy,” so she decided to offer the job to her second choice. “It wasn’t until I attended a diversity workshop that I realized the person we passed over was the perfect person,” Tiffany confesses. What she hadn’t known at the time of the interview was that the candidate’s “different” behavior was simply a cultural misunderstanding . He was an Asian-American raised in a household where respect for those in authority was shown by averting(避开) your eyes. “I was just thrown off by the lack of ye contact; not realizing it was cultural,” Tiffany says. “I missed out ,but will not miss that opportunity again.” Many of us have had similar encounters with behaviors we perceive as different. As the world becomes smaller and our workplaces more diverse, it is becoming essential to expand our under-standing of others and to reexamine some of our false assumptions . Hire Advantage At a time when hiring qualified people is becoming more difficult ,employers who can eliminate invalid biases(偏爱) from the process have a distinct advantage .My company, Mindsets LLC ,helps organizations and individuals see their own blind spots . A real estate recruiter we worked with illustrates the positive difference such training can make .

五年级我的期末考试总结作文400字
五年级我的期末考试总结作文400字 五年级我的期末考试总结作文400字 嗨！时间真如江河之水，一去不复返。一个学期怎么就这么短，转瞬便已过去。这个学期结束了，我也该对自己做个期末总结了吧！ 昨天刚考完期末考试，回家后我还一直是信心满满。今天上午老师叫我去帮忙登一下分数。同去的还有班上的熊雨欣和罗文杰。我在抄写分数的时候，我留心了一下自己的考试成绩。语文和数学考的还行，就是英语考的太差了，只得了90分，我原本对父母夸下海口说一题都没错，这下简直令我羞愧得无地自容。我实在是该好好的反省一下了。回想在期末考试的前一个多月，我几乎没有读一下英语课本，父母每次提醒我听读，我根本就没有去做，只是忽悠他们说：“我全都会了”。俗话说：种瓜得瓜，种豆得豆。我以前每天种下的恶因，现在轮到我尝苦果的时候了。相比之下，那几位得高分的同学，就比我刻苦得多了，据我所了解，英语得高分的冯文涛和戴妮娜，每天听读英语至少一小时，他们得不到高分才怪呢！我付出的实在是太少了。那些得高分的同学都有一个共同的特点：就是熟读课文，擅写单词。而英语原本就是我的弱项，我却从来没有好好的用功。所以也只能得这样的分数了。幸好，我的语文进步了一点，数学没退
也没进，但英语落后了这么多，这似乎是在告戒我：没有好的学习态度，自以为是的心理，拖拉懒惰的毛病……种种坏习惯如果不改正的话，是永远也考不出好成绩的。 总而言之，这个学期我是进步不大，却退步不小。今后我一定要好好的反省自己的过错，力争下学期纠正这些诸多缺点。要知道：“虚心使人进步，骄傲使人落后‘。这是我们每个人都应该遵循的道理。 江西宜春宜丰县新昌二小五年级:伍翰晨

Yet what should we do in order to achieve success? Here are some suggestions. First, it’s very important to have a rig ht attitude, for a normal state of mind and self-confidence not only helps us to relax but also enables us to overcome difficulties bravely. Meanwhile, we should have a definite goal and a correct estimation of ourselves. Only in this way will we not be easily pleased or disappointed with what we have known and done. Besides, we’d better sometimes talk with our parents, teachers or classmates, who may help us out when we’re in trouble. Fi nally, keeping a proper balance between study and rest keeps us energetic and a healthy diet is useful as well. With these done, I think we can greatly improve our performance.

人教版五年级上册语文期末试题作文
提示：在我们的生活当中，你一定享受过浓浓的亲情。请你怀着一颗感恩的心，向你的亲人诉说你的真情，表示对他们的谢意。题目自拟，写出真情实感，语句通顺。(不少于400字) 亲情 亲情是我的财富。我是一朵白云，亲情是包容我的蓝天；我是一棵绿树，亲情便是滋养我的土地；我是一只飞鸟，亲情便是庇护我的森林；我是一泓清泉，亲情便是拥抱我的山峦。 如果说人生是一首优美的乐曲，那么痛苦则是其中一个不可缺少的音符；如果说人生是一望无际的大海，那么挫折则是一个骤然翻起的浪花；如果说人生是湛蓝的天空，那么失意则是一朵漂浮的白云。 人生不在成就了多大的事业而重在做好了什么，所以，见到茂密的森林，你只要无愧地做其中挺拔的一棵；见到奔腾的长江，你只盼无愧地做浪花里晶莹的一滴；见到无际的蓝天，你只求无愧地做云朵中祥和的一朵。虽是一棵，却能抗击风雨，虽是一滴，却能滋润禾苗，虽是一朵，却能装扮蓝天。这样的人生也就够了。 人生如一支歌，应该多一些昂扬的旋律，少一些萎靡的音符；人生如一首诗，应该多一些热烈的抒情，少一些愁苦的叹息；人生如一幅画，应该多一些亮丽的色彩，少一些灰暗的色调；人生如一棵树。应该多一些新鲜的翠绿，少一些凋零的枯萎。
人生就像一条河，经历丰富，才能远源流长。伟大的一生，像黄河一样跌宕起伏，像长江一样神奇壮美。人生就像一座山，经历奇特才能蔚为大观。伟大的一生，像黄山一样奇峰迭起，像泰山一样大气磅礴。经历就是人生的硎石，生命的锋芒在磨砺中闪光；经历就是人生的矿石，生命的活力在提炼中释放。 游子的千层底里缝进的是亲情，黄鹤楼上遥望不归的是友情，千里孤坟埋不住的是爱情。敢问世间情为何物？情是人生的灵魂，是人生妙章中最重要的一笔。没有亲情，犹如酷寒的冬季没有结束的日期；没有友情，犹如漂泊不定的小舟没有避风的港湾；没有爱情，犹如黑夜里的寒月没有温暖和光明。于是，“临行密密缝，意恐迟迟归”成了亲情永恒的写照；“桃花潭水深千尺，不及汪伦送我情”成为友情不变的承诺；“在天愿为比翼鸟，在地愿为连理枝”成了爱情永恒的誓言。人生最重要的应该是情，情如酒一样醇，如茶一样浓，如潭一样深。
大学英语四级模拟题四(含规范标准答案)
大学英语四级模拟题四 Part One Reading Comprehension (2’×10 = 20’) Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). Y ou should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre. Passage One Air pollution can spread from city to city. It even spreads from one country to another. Some northern European countries have had “black snow”from pollutants that have traveled through the air from other countries and have fallen with the snow. So air pollution is really a global problem. Air pollution can kill babies, older people, and those who have respiratory（呼吸的）diseases. As found in cities, air pollution increases the risks of certain lung diseases. Air pollution can cause both airplane and car accidents because it cuts down visibility（能见度）. There are other possible health dangers from air pollution that we don’t know much about. For example, scientists are trying to find out whether chemicals that reach us from the air may cause changes in our cells. These changes might cause babies to be born with serious birth defects. Scientists are trying to learn how all the many chemicals are apt（易于的）to take into our bodies from air, water, food, and even medicines act together to affect our health and the way our bodies work. That is another reason why it is so important to begin to control pollution now instead of waiting until we learn all the answers. Air pollution costs us a lot of money. It corrodes（腐蚀）our buildings. It damages farm crops and forests. It has a destructive effect on our works of art. The cost of all this damage to our government is great. It would be much more worthwhile, both for us and for the government, to spend our tax dollars on air pollution control. 1.Air pollution may lead to airplane accidents because . A. it may cause pilots to be ill B. engines may fail from the air-borne dirt C. visibility is reduced D. it brings a lot of black snow 2. Scientists are trying to find a link between pollution and . A. intelligence levels B. birth problems C. man’s behavior D. the nervous system 3. Scientists have not yet determined . A. all of the effects of pollution on the human body B. how pollution can be controlled successfully C. when the atmosphere first became polluted D. how some snow becomes black 4. The author suggests that before air pollution becomes more serious, . A. factories will be forced to stop operating B. buildings should be protected C. the earth will begin to grow colder D. more money should be spent to solve the problem 5. We can conclude that . A. civilization may be ruined if pollution is not controlled B. pollution is more serious in Europe than it is in America C. most people do not know that pollution is a serious problem D. we should learn all the answers before we begin to control pollution Passage Two Stiletto heels could be banned from the workplace because of health and safety reasons, according to British Trade Union bosses. The Trade Union Congress, predominantly male, has proposed a motion arguing that high heels are disrespectful to women while they also contribute to long term injuries. They propose instead that women wear “sensible shoes” with an inch heel limit in an attempt to avoid future foot and back pain as well as injuries. The motion is due to be debated at next month’s conference. The motion states: “Congress believes high heels may look glamorous on the Hollywood catwalks but are completely in appropriate for the day-to-day working environment. Feet bear the burden of daily life, and for many workers prolonged standing, badly fitted footwear, and in particular high heels can be a hazard. Around two million days a year are lost through sickness as a result of lower limb disorders. Wearing high heels can cause long-term foot problems and also serious foot, knee and back pain and damaged joints. Many employers in the retail sector force women workers to wear high heels as part of their dress code. More must be done to raise awareness of this problem so that women workers and their feet are protected.” Nadline Dorries, the Tory Member of Parliament, however criticized the motion and said the extra height heels give women can help them when in the workplace. “I’m 5ft 3in and need every inch of my Christian Louboutin heels to look my male colleagues in the eye,” she said. “If high heels were banned in Westminster, no one would be able to find me. The Trade Union leaders need to get real, stop using obvious sexist tactics by discussing women’s stilettos to divert tension away from Labor chaos.” Michelle Dewberry, a former winner of The Apprentice, said the motion was patronizing（自认为高人一等的）. “This is absolutely ridiculous and I think these union officials should be spending their time dealing with more important issues”, she said. “I’m at work in five-inch heels and perfectly able to do my job. Heels are sexy, they boost your confidence and they are empowering to women. I can’t imagine these officials debating a motion about how tightly men should wear their ties. Wearing heels is a personal choice.”
