初中英语议论文试题

I recently turned 30． Thinking back what I've experienced， I took some time to write myself some advice．

Trust

Even if it kills your relationship． Even if you lose your friends． Even if it means you end up getting hurt． （1） 　 　people even if they give you a reason not to．

But don't be too naive（幼稚）． Some people are out to hurt you．

People

People are the best and （2） 　 　thing that will happen to you． Some will help you go further and faster． Others will pull you down to their level and make you lose．

Most are OK． Many are average． Some are excellent． You don't need a lot of people or friends around you． You need amazing people who help you just （3） 　 　you help them． Only a few people will change your life forever． Find （4） 　 　．

Value time

Don't waste time on people who cheat you．

Value other people's （5） 　 　． Don't be late． That means that if you're late， you don't care about them or their time． And that also means you think you're worth more and therefore（因此） keep them （6） 　 　． Some people will tell you that it's OK to be late． It's not．

 Fail

Fail． Fail a lot． Fail often． Fail in making friends． Fail in work． （7） 　 　please don't lose your heart! Learn a lesson．

If you don't learn something when you fail， then all you've done is failed． If you learn something， then you've grown． Every time you grow and fail and learn， you become better at finding out the way to（8） 　 　．

"Were going to cut science class today． I know you want to come with us． Let's go!"Maybe you've （1） 　　one of the popular kids at school say something like this． So what do you do？ Do you just give in and do what the other kids （2） 　　， or do you go to class no matter what they say？

Situations like this often come up． And it is not easy to make your own（3） 　　when your friends want to do something you're not quite sure about． Sometimes， you feel you should do something because everyone else is doing it， and it is（4） 　　to go against the majority． This is called "peer（同龄人） pressure" because peers are pressuring you to do what they want．

Some people give in to peer pressure because they want to be more popular． Some worry that others will make fun of them （5） 　　they don't go along with the group． The （6） 　 ______ 　that "everyone is doing it" makes them follow the crowd． Sometimes peer pressure can be （7） 　　if your peers encourage you to be a better person． But most peer pressure pushes you to do something you don't really want to do． And it affects almost everyone without exception． So what can you do to（8） 　　it？

First of all， you should follow your own feelings and beliefs and be self ﹣ confident． When you are self﹣ confident， you can say "no" to the people（9） 　　to pressure you． It also helps to have a good friend who respects your beliefs． That way you won't be（10） 　　when you stand up to peer pressure．

It is likely that there are some leftovers in your fridge， and maybe they will be thrown away in the end． If the（1） 　　 in a supermarket is not fresh any more or is near the sell﹣by date， it goes into dust bins too． Every day， a large amount of food is wasted．

To cut down on food waste， France（2） 　　 a new law． It doesn' t allow supermarkets to throw away unsold food．（3） 　　， they must give it to someone or an organization． Food that isn't safe for humans to eat can be used as animal feed． If not， the supermarkets will（4） 　　75 ，000 euros as a punishment or face two years in prison （监狱）． The law also encourages （5） 　　 programs for schools and businesses about food waste．

France is the first country to make a law that doesn't allow wasting food， but it is （6） 　_____ a worldwide problem． The good thing is that people around the world are trying different things to deal with the food waste problem． Galdakao， Spain， put a public fridge in the center of town． Anyone can drop off food or leftovers and anyone can come and take them． A supermarket in Canada encourages people to buy "ugly food" by selling it at lower（7） 　　so it won't end up being wasted．

In China， we have the "clear your plate" action． This means you should eat everything on your plate or （8） 　　 the leftovers．

"（9） 　　much more than what people can eat in restaurants has been a way of making them feel good in China for a long time，" said Liu Qinglong．a professor at Tsinghua University． "But I'm happy to see that our（10） 　　 towards wasting food is changing．"

Children usually say and do things in（1） 　　open and honest ways． Sometimes， I think that children have the different ways to see others and the world． However， adults can （2） 　　see things in children's ways．

One afternoon， I took my son Michael to the supermarket．（3） 　　we were there， we met an elderly couple． Instead of （4） 　　past them， Michael stopped and looked at the old woman in the wheelchair and said，"Hi! I'm Michael． What's your（5） 　　？"

The old woman smiled and said she was Molly Smith． We stood there for a few minutes while Michael and Molly were talking（6） 　　I told him it was time to say good﹣bye． He （7） 　　touched the woman's cheek， watched her carefully and said，"Molly， you're my friend．"

It was one of those （8） 　　 that touched me a lot．The couple seemed really happy and excited when they heard Michael's words． It wasn't the first time he did（9） 　　like this． He always seems to know when someone needs that small act of kindness．

What Michael did reminded me to slow down and（10） 　　 those small ways to show love to someone． You may never know what that smile or small gesture means to someone else．

"The grass looks greener on the other side of the fence．" That's an old （1） 　　in English． It means other places often look better， more interesting than the place in （2） 　　you live． Some people worry （3） 　　young Chinese are beginning to feel that way． They see young Chinese paying no attention to Chinese culture and， （4） 　　，buying Japanese cartoon books， watching Korean soap operas and even celebrating Western holidays．

Foreign books and soap operas are good， （5） 　　Chinese writers and actors are just as good． As for holidays， Christmas is nice， but it can （6） 　　have the meaning for Chinese that the Spring Festival has， and the West has nothing to compare with the Mid﹣autumn Festival． And let′s not forget the part of Chinese culture I like best （7） 　　friendliness． Not all countries are as （8） 　　as China．

It's good to enjoy other cultures and （9） 　　from them， but they cannot replace your own culture． It's good to look on the other side of the fence， but （10） 　　you take a good long look． You will find that the grass isn't always greener on the other side of the fence．

Grass is， of course a plant which grows in the field； a plant which some kinds of animals like to eat． When there has been plenty of （1） 　　， the grass is green． When the weather has been dry， the grass is brown． Animals like to eat grass when it is （2） 　　and fresh． And if the grass in one place is greener than the rest， animals （3） 　　to eat that grass． An animal in a field may look over the fence（篱笆） into the next field， where perhaps there are no animals and grass in the field （4） 　　greener． But if the animal could get into the field， it would find that the grass is really the same． It just seems better from a distance（远处）． So that's the （5） 　　of the expression "The grass is greener on the other side of the fence．"

We sometimes only say "The grass is （6） 　　greener on the other side．" We use the expression to describe the situation ﹣﹣﹣ someone looks at distant things and feels they are better than the things around him． But （7） 　　he could go to the distant place， he would find that life there is just as difficult． So don't always think that other people have a better situation． Just be （8） 　　with what you have had． Enjoy and value it!

I know a Catherine who is smart， educated and interesting． But I avoid her because she never （1） 　　complaining（抱怨） ! For years， I fought against my feelings， because I really like and admire her， but I've found I just can't be her friend． Her world is （2） 　　"buts…"． The trip would have been nice， but the drive was too long． The food was good， but the light of the restaurant was too （3） 　　． The hotel was too hot， the bed hurt her back and the room service was too slow． Her complaints were （4） 　　changing me． Months ago， my best friend Daisy was listening to me complaining about Catherine（5） 　　she just became really angry． "Either break up with her， or leave me alone．" She shouted at me， "I'm tired of listening to your complaining．" Her honesty surprised me， and I beg to keep myself away from Catherine． Later， I did （6） 　　her．

Now I try to remain happy and positive （ 积 极 的 ） about life， and find friends of the same． There's been scientific research lately． It shows that people who find （7） 　　to be thankful for their lives are actually happier， and I believe that is true． Endless complaining seems to control your life if you let it come into your brain． And too much complaining will actually make your life （8） 　　．

Some people take "gratitude （ 感激之情） walks" every day， where they （9） 　　their lives in a positive way． By developing a grateful attitude， you can be turned away from what's troubling you， and （10） 　　what makes you happy． Then you will have a beautiful life．

（10）A． against	B． toward	C． through

Once an animal expert did some research on antelopes（羚羊）． These antelopes were living on both sides of a river in South America．The expert（1） 　　that the antelopes on the east side multiplied（繁殖）more and ran faster than（2） 　　on the west．

The expert didn't get the reason about differences after thinking hard， as the two groups of antelopes lived in（3） 　　environment and they fed on the same kind of grass．

One year，（4） 　　the help of the Animal Protecting society， he caught ten antelopes on each side and（5） 　　them． A year later， the ten antelopes that were sent to the west side multiplied by fourteen． （6） 　　how about the antelopes sent to the east？ Only three remained!

Where were（7） 　　seven？ They were eaten by wolves．

At last the expert understood why the antelopes on the east were （8） 　　． That was because there were a group of wolves﹣their natural enemy， on the（9） 　　side．

So thanks must go to your opponents（对手）． It is your opponents that are（10） 　　you． It's true!
