　　California Developing Warning System for Water Quality at Beaches

　　LOS ANGELES— The current drought in California means less water runoff from cities and cleaner ocean water for beachgoers. Some beaches, however, are still polluted, including some tourist hotspots. Now, researchers are developing a faster way to check beach water quality.

　　The famous sun and surf of southern California may look glamorous, but what beachgoers cannot see in some of the ocean water is anything but attractive, says Angelo Bellomo of the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health.

　　“When we have runoff from the urban environment, it could be carrying with it contamination due to animal waste, sewage overflows; and if those enter the beaches through the normal pipes that terminate in the ocean, you want to avoid contact with water during those periods,” he says.

　　Bellomo says a number of infectious diseases could be transmitted in ocean water.

　　Plenty of people, however, play in the water at the beach at Santa Monica Pier, one of the most polluted beaches in California.

　　‘A little ridiculous’

　　Public health officials are concerned and are looking at a better way of determining water quality. Water at the beaches is monitored with a lab test. If the quality is poor, a sign is posted; but, it does not necessarily reflect what is in the water that day, says Leslie Griffin with the environmental group, Heal the Bay.

　　“Right now it takes 18 to 24 hours to get those water quality results, but we think that that is a little ridiculous because we want people to know the day of when they are going in the water whether or not they can be getting sick,” Griffith says.

　　Researchers in California are developing what they call a predictive modeling system that could speed up the process, says Heal the Bay’s James Alamillo.

　　“It can take 15 minutes to produce a similar result in terms of a public health decision,” Alamillo says.

　　‘Nowcasting’

　　With the help of computers, researchers pull data from the environment and a prediction is made about the water quality of that day. It is called "Nowcasting."

　　Some of the environmental data may include wind speed and direction, wave information and historic bacterial counts, but the beaches are unique in their own way, so the models have to be tailor-made for each one.

　　So far, Angelo Bellomo says the predictive modeling looks promising.

　　“We think that the modeling that we have seen so far is generally more accurate than the testing that we are doing, and the reason for that is that even though it is a model and it's predicting water quality, it is more timely,” Bellomo says.

　　Hong Kong and the U.S. state of Ohio have similar methods of predicting water quality. The experts on the U.S. West Coast say predictive modeling may be the best tool they have until technology advances and offers a faster way of testing the water in the lab.

　　As is shown in the picture, on arriving at the finishing line of a race on the playground, the lovely young man has to continue his new journey in no time instead of stopping to take a rest. He has successfully settled the puzzle of “stopping or going on” which might have confused many others.

　　With the increasing pace of modern life, perhaps no change has characterized the past decade more dramatically than that of people's view on their own life. It is generally agreed upon that people have to adjust themselves to this new change. On the one hand, no doubt, people will gain a lot by setting new goals in their daily life. Take the famous scientist Thomas Edison for example. He had done very well in his early life, but continued to pursue something more difficult all through his life. On the other hand, if one is obsessed with the success he has achieved, he would lose the chance to pursue new success. What is more, he may become the slave of his success. There are many cases showing that people lose their courage to better themselves after becoming successful.

　　To sum up, one's view on his success determines his future. In my opinion, it is necessary to carry out a nation-wide campaign publicizing people who have a burning desire for more and ever greater achievement when they are already well-known. So that people in the society will develop a forward-looking attitude and make their life worth living and the world more beautiful as well.

　　Change has been the one constant in my life. While staring out at the bleak Wisconsin winter, I think back to my beginnings on a warm tropical island. The biggest change was probably the first moving from that buzzing Spanish-speaking isle to the sleepy sea-side town that was Tampa in 1978. It took me some time to realize that the other pre-schoolers could not understand my native tongue. Before long, I too was speaking their language.

　　Five years later I, an excited eight-year-old girl, boarded a school bus in New Jersey. The excitement quickly turned to fear as I heard rampant swearing in the back of the bus. I was truly shocked when the bus driver did nothing to stop the vulgarity. In my schools in Florida such behavior would have met with a bar of soap and a visit to the principal office. A year later, I had a "Jersey" accent, and had started swearing too.

　　After nine years my family then moved to a place called "a whole 鈥檔other country": Texas. I discovered that everything is bigger in Texas, from the size of a glass of ice tea to the distances on the road. My mother added barbecued brisket to the regular menu of turkey and Idaho potatoes on Monday and arroz con pollo on Tuesday.

　　The incredibly friendly Texans, wearing cowboy boots and going to high school football games on Friday nights, seemed a totally different breed from my friends in New Jersey. A slight drawl entered my speech.

　　In two years time, I found myself in the mountains of rural Bolivian. As part of a team of doctors and students researching hypertension on a group of African- Bolivian villagers, I quickly learned a new vocabulary that included medical and anthropological terms. The greatest test of my linguistic abilities came when a villager accused me of drinking blood samples in some kind of vampire-like witchcraft ritual. I had to bridge a vast cultural gulf to explain a DNA isolation and analysis protocol in Spanish to someone who had never heard of a gene much less a double helix.

　　A year later I stood in a line at a McDonalds outside Buenos Aires asking for a sorbeto with a Puerto Rican accent and receiving a blank stare in return. I did not realize that in Argentina the word for straw was papote. Working at the U.S. embassy, I could clearly see the obvious differences between the U.S. and Argentina, but being out among the people and actually experiencing the culture helped me begin to understand and appreciate the subtle differences which, when taken together, make up a people.

　　Each place I have lived has its differences, from the obvious distinctions of Wisconsin and Texas weather, to the regional variations of the Spanish language. I bring with me wherever I go a part of those places and the impact they have had on my life, most evident to others by the variations in my speech. Beneath all the accents, however, lies something more significant, for I believe who you are is immeasurable more important than where you were. When I was younger, I could not clearly discern between situations where I should or should not adopt the ways of those around me. With maturity however I have come to understand the crucial difference between adaptation and assimilation. I have chosen to reject the vulgarity of the New Jersey school bus; I have also adopted the Texanswarm and friendly manner. Having experienced frequent moves to very different surroundings, I can adapt without compromising what is important to me while learning from each new setting.

　　A sign hung in my garage for many years that said, "Home is where you can scratch where it itches." To me this means that home is wherever you are comfortable and secure with yourself and your surroundings. I will be at home and prepared to meet new challenges wherever I am. Starting over so many times has taught me not to fear failure, but rather to embrace opportunities for change.

英語作文 篇5

　　The wind has gently murmured through the shutters， or puffed with feathery softness against the windows， sighed like a gentle summer wind， lifting the leaves。 We sleep and eventually wake up on a winter morning。 The snow lies like cotton down upon the window sill。

　　風(fēng)吹過百葉窗，輕輕地猶如羽毛一般，飄落在窗子上。偶爾像夏日的風(fēng)一般，溫柔地嘆息，卷起片片落葉。我們一覺醒來，正是嚴(yán)冬的早晨。窗臺上堆積著厚厚的.雪，就像蓋著暖融融的棉花。

　　raise white arms to the sky on every side； landscape， as if nature had strewn her fresh designs over the fields at night as models for man’s art。

　　這清晨的寧靜讓人難以忘懷。樹枝和草叢都將白色的手臂伸向四面八方，指向天空；英語短文墻壁和籬笆的形狀在昏暗的景色中更是怪異，快樂地向外延伸，好像大自然在一夜之間，將田園美景重新設(shè)計，好讓藝術(shù)家臨摹。

　　Opening the gate，， and the jingling of the ice on the trees is sweet and liquid。 There is the least dampness in the atmosphere， all being dried or frozen， The wonderful purity of nature at this season is a most pleasing fact。

　　走出院門，我們以輕快的腳步，踏上寂靜的鄉(xiāng)間小路。一切平凡的鄉(xiāng)村聲音，此刻聽來都美妙悅耳；樹上的冰凌撞擊之聲，妙似音樂，宛如流水。大氣里沒有了一點兒水分，或是干化了，或是凝結(jié)成了冰霜；空氣軟綿綿的，簡直就是快樂的源頭。大自然在這個季節(jié)，顯得特別純潔，這使我們感覺尤為高興。

　　It is invigorating to breathe the pure air。 Its sweetness and purity are visible to the eye， too， as through the leafless trees， for the winter。 We hope to borrow some pure and firm virtue。

　　吸一口純凈的空氣，頓感心曠神怡。它的甜蜜及純凈，甚至用眼睛都能看得出來；我們寧愿整日置身戶外，直至日落而歸。我們希望強風(fēng)像吹過光禿禿的大樹一般吹遍我們?nèi)�身，使我們得以適應(yīng)這寒冷的冬天。我們希望藉此能向大自然借一點純潔堅定的靈氣。
