《英语作文》
aboldattemptishalfsuccess英语作文 第二篇
惊天魔盗团（Now You See Me）
This movie is obviously full of brilliant magic. It tell us a story that an FBI agent (he is also a very powerful hypnotist) employs four skilled magicians to avenge his dead father who once was a magician on two old men and finally he sent them into prison.
After watching this movie, we are indulged in the wonderful magic, meanwhile various ideas come into being in our minds. However, to me, a line at the beginning of the movie let me remember most clear: "The closer you look, the less you see." this is also an important reason for the success of magic, it is precisely why only at the end of this movie we discover the true fact. Seeing the magic, if the more we focus on the performance and try to find some omissions, the more easily you can fall into the blind; and life is not the same? The students in the school revel in one exam success without no long-term study plan, his grades will suffer a disastrous decline; business if only pay attention to immediate interests, ignore the product quality and business reputation, he will be discarded by consumers...... There are many examples of similar.
In my opinion, the society is full of all kinds of confusing magic. Anytime we should have a calm mind, only by this can we not be cheated by life.
生死时速(Get Ready For Rush Hour)
The film is very good and moving, it shows a good police image that they are brave and wise and have a high degree of devotion and a strong sense of responsibility. In addition, there is a man to be reckoned with: Payne, who determines to revenge society and really does because of dissatisfaction with the government's policies as a bomb expert. The topic about police I want to talk about has much to do with him.
Firstly, we must admit that the police maintain our social stability and orderly. Without policemen, our right given by law won?t be guaranted effectively. Secondly, not all policemen are clean,fair and strong. Nowadays, more and more crimes of policeman are being committed to due to various causes, which damage the interests of the country and the public to a large extent and make more and more people lost the trust in police. The last but not the least, government bears the primary responsibility for this condition.Reduction of crime rate depends on the government's attitude and measures, only the government has the power to manage the police.
As for me, I hope the government will take measures to ensure the purity of the police, and can spend more energy to care about people's views on the issued policies,our society never need more”Payne”,we need all policemen like “Jack”.
逃出克隆岛（The Island）
The Island tells us a cruel story, though it is just a fiction. The film tells the story of such a group of people: in an age that human cloning is well developed，cloned people living in an isolated environment are treated as product used for nature people, their living meaning is the removal of body organs. Finally, the sinful island is destroyed by two people who discover the truth about the island. About human cloning, it is controversial, some people support and others against it. The former believe that human cloning will bring medical science a great breakthrough, which has tremendous business prospects. People taking an opposite side firmly consider that this technology of human cloning, it will bring disaster to human beings, no matter how important for a field, it should not be developed. Firstly, the legitimacy of human cloning is still a problem. Secondly, human cloning would cause ethical confusion, it first reflects on family relationship.The last but not the least, no one can
confirm human cloning wouldn?t be took advantage of in a legal way ,just as what we see in the film.
As for me, I agree to the latter idea. The main reason is that cloned people just have the same appearance with the original one, if we clone a complete man, should we tell him you're just a substitute, I don?t think it is a good idea. In a word, people and the world haven?t been ready to accept human cloning and cloned people.
美丽人生（Life is Beautiful）
"Life is beautiful " – at the first sight of the title, I thought this film will tell a story of a man?s happy、 fulfilling life, after all, that life is beautiful. The front half part of the film is true beautiful. The chief actor is a humorous and happy man，he uses his humor to bring his wife and son with joy. However, the film is about a half of them in a Nazi concentration camp. In order to not let the young son's little heart be hurt, the dad lie to his son with various lie that "it's all just a game, if we accomplish the game and win the first place, we will be able to get a tank and go home." Finally, he died for the purpose of searching for his wife, but he left his son with a tank, not memories of inhuman concentration camp.
After watching the movie, I was deeply moved and shocked by the great father?s love, the wife?s impressive love of her family that she could give up the city life and choose to enter the camp just to be with her family and the true and beautiful lie. Through this film, we can realize that the war always brings people in disaster，it causes a great loss of life and property of people，destroy the earth resources and nature environment we live on. I hope that the world should be more understanding, less confrontation and peaceful.

A
Tom was called off to dress for Sunday-school.
Mary gave him a tin basin of water and a piece of soap, and he went outside the door and set the basin on a little bench there; then he dipped the soap in the water and laid it down; turned up his sleeves; poured out the water on the ground, gently, and then entered the kitchen and began to wipe his face diligently on the towel behind the door. But Mary removed the towel and said:
―Now aren’t you ashamed, Tom. You mustn’t be so bad. Water won’t hurt you.‖
Tom was a little unsettled. The basin was refilled, and this time he stood over it, took in a big breath and began. When he entered the kitchen presently, with both eyes shut and feeling for the towel with his hands, an honorable testimony of bubbles and water was dripping from his face. But when he came out from the towel, he was not yet satisfactory, for the clean territory stopped short at his chin and his jaws, like a mask; below and beyond this line there was a dark expanse of unirrigated soil that spread downward in front and backward around his neck. Mary took him in hand, and his flooded hair was neatly brushed, and its short curls formed into an elegant and regular general effect. Then Mary got out a suit of his clothing that had been used only on Sundays during two years -- they were simply called his ―other clothes‖ -- and so by that we know the size of his wardrobe. After he had dressed himself, Mary checked over and over again. Now he looked extraordinarily improved but uncomfortable. He was fully as uncomfortable as he looked; for there was a self-control about whole clothes and cleanliness that annoyed him. When Mary brought out the shoes, he lost his temper and said he was always being made to do everything he didn’t want to do. But Mary said,
persuasively:
―Please, Tom – .‖
So he got into the shoes howling. Mary was soon ready, and the two children set out for Sunday-school -- a place that Tom hated with his whole heart; but Mary was fond of it.

Firefighters had largely tamed a tower of flame and smoke that covered the sun and drove thousands from their homes in the foothill suburbs northeast of Los Angeles, but a week of dangerously windy wildfire conditions and a year of historic dryness meant that this fire and predictable ones to come remained a major threat.
By nightfall Thursday, the wildfire that swept through about 2 1/2 square miles of brush in the San Gabriel Mountains and destroyed five homes early in the day had its progress stopped and was 30 percent contained. More than 700 firefighters were on the scene, along with 70 engines and a fleet of helicopters and air tankers dropping water and retardant(阻止物).
But the National Weather Service said a red-flag warning of extreme fire danger in effect much of the week would remain in place until Friday evening because of low humidity and the chance of the region’s infamous Santa Ana winds bursting to 30 mph in the foothills and valleys.
Some 3,700 people from Glendora and Azusa at the height of the fire. Glendora residents were allowed to return home Thursday evening, but homes in Azusa remained under evacuation orders. It wasn’t clear how many remained empty.
Fire engines would stay in all the endangered neighborhoods through the night and helicopters were available to fly after dark if it became necessary. Nighttime bursts brought a few flame-ups, but they remained within fire lines.【aboldattemptishalfsuccess英语作文】
Two firefighters had minor injuries and a woman trying to fight the fire near her home suffered a minor burn. Seventeen structures were damaged, including homes, garages, barns and other buildings. At least 10 renters were left homeless when the fire destroyed rental units on the historic grounds of a retreat that once was the summer land of the Singer sewing machine family. Statues of Jesus and Mary stood unharmed near the blackened ruins. However, the main, 1920s house was spared.
Three men in their 20s, including a homeless man, were arrested on suspicion of irresponsibly starting the fire by tossing paper into a campfire in the Angeles National Forest, just north of Glendora. They said they were trying to keep warm and the wildfire appears to have been an accident. They could face state or federal charges.

Many people focus on physical fitness, but few know that brain fitness is also something you can work on. In fact, you can exercise your brain as often as you work out your arms or abs--and the results can be positive and empowering. It’s helpful to think of your brain as you work out a muscle. To improve your brain, you can’t simply repeat the same exercises over and over. Just as lifting a two pound weight will no longer challenge you, so will repetitive exercises such as crosswords or Sudoku. Once you master easy exercises, you must move on to harder ones in order to push your brain—like your muscles—to a new level.
Scientists once believed that your mental abilities were fixed in adulthood. Now that studies on neuroplasticity have shown just the opposite, millions of people around the world have adopted the new practice of brain training.
The most popular of these brain training products is made by the San Francisco-based Lumosity, which employs a team of in-house neuroscientists with degrees from Stanford and UC Berkeley. Realizing that brains need more sophisticated programs and guidance to grow and change, Lumosity’s scientists work with an experienced team of game designers. Together they’ve developed a fun, effective online brain training program that measures, tracks, and adapts to your progress so you’ll always be challenged. Lumosity’s training system and 40+ games are based on well-studied tests used in clinical neuropsychology research.
In a 2013 Stanford study, a treatment group of 21 breast cancer survivors used 12 weeks of Lumosity training to work on processing speed, mental flexibility, and working memory tasks. On average, those who trained improved on tests of these abilities, compared to a group that did not train with Lumosity. There is even some first round evidence suggesting that Lumosity may be beneficial to normal, healthy adults. In a 2011 study by Lumosity and San Francisco State University researchers, 13 people who did Lumosity training over 5 weeks improved on tests of brain performance compared to a group that did not train. On average, those who trained improved working memory scores by 10% and attention scores by 20%.
Training can take just a few minutes a day, but the rewards can make a difference in many aspects of life. The goal of brain training is not to improve game scores: it’s to improve the underlying core abilities that those games rely on. Lumosity is one of the first and most popular brain training programs in existence. There’s a small fee to use the full product, or new users can start a free trial.
66. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Brain training can make a difference. B. Brain training—a new science.
C. Brain training can keep you fit. D. Brain training—an open online course.
67. In order to improve our brain, we can ______.
A. do the same exercises day after day
B. challenge it with harder exercises day by day
C. work out crosswords every day

68. According to the passage, what is Lumosity?
A. It is a team of in-house neuroscientists. B. It is a team of experienced game designers.
C. It is an online brain training program. D. It is a clinical brain training research.
69. In Paragraph 4, the writer gives so many figures to ______.
A. explain the cause of Lumosity B. clarify the principle of Lumosity
C. confirm the process of Lumosity D. show the effect of Lumosity
70. It seems to us that the passage is exactly ______.

Best bike-sharing cities in the world
When Citi Bike rolled onto the streets of New York this Memorial Day, it was treated as a national event and even international media took notice. In advance of the launch, one blog post on Le Monde’s website claimed, ―
The next major development was in Copenhagen, which introduced a coin-operated system in 1995 called Bycyklen, or ―City Bike.‖ For 17 years, these bikes zipped through the streets of Denmark’s capital until the program was shut down late last year—it’s getting an upgrade to third generation technology.
Sponsored by media giant Clear Channel, the French city of Rennes brought the next generation of bike share to the world in 1998 by replacing coin operation with card access and electronic booths. From there the technology has progressed, picking up GPS and real-time tracking along the way, and has spread throughout Western Europe—and the world.
According to the Bike Sharing World Map, maintained by DeMaio and Russell Meddin of Bike Share Philadelphia, there are 553 bike share programs in operation worldwide and another 193 in planning or under construction.
And they’re not just in Europe and North America. The worldwide leader in bike sharing, as measured by the number of bikes, is China. According to data collected by the Earth Policy Institute, 20 of the 25 largest bike share programs are Chinese. Its largest one, in the city of Wuhan, has twice the number of bikes as all of France’s shares combined.
