篇二：TPO作文

The lecturer and the reading passage suggest two competing theories, the

predation theory vs. the pollution theory, explain why the sea otters'

pollution is declined. ( is in rapid decline)

The professor argues (reasons)that the absence of died sea otters washed

up the coast suggests that their decline is not caused by sea pollution

but rather by predators which (who )consumed their bodies after killing

them. In contrast, the reading passage attribute the death of sea otters

to (pollution, citing evidence of increased sources of )ocean

contaiminers (contaminants) which lead to greater vulnerability to

infections.

Furthermore, the lecturer argues that orcas are likely factors in the

disapperence disappearance of sea otters. Because of the scarciry scarcity of the whale, orcas'

usual pries, (has)left orcas no other chorice choice but to start hunting

smaller mammals like otters for food. The reading passage, on the other

hand, rules out this theory based on the orca's preying habits, and

instead approves of the pollution theory as the only explain for the

decline on both large and small sea mammals across the entire ecosystem.

Finally, according to the lecturer, the uneven pattern of sea otter

decline correspond to the predation theory. She argues that the area

that otters has declined most rapidly where orcas are most prevalent

futher further validates the predation theory. However, reading passage argues

that changeable enviornmental environmental factors, which lead to different

concentrations of pollutants, better explains the varying pattern of sea

otter decline.

Some people think that we should develop economic first and protect the environment when we have got enough money. Well, at that time we may hold a bunch of dollars, looking around the devastated ground,and whispering it is too late. People's desire could never be fulfilled. We have that the damage we make to environment is irreversiable irreversible and irrepairable. irreparable We cannot pour industrial wastewater chemical toxicant will stay there forever, waiting for the latest equipment to recycle . waiting for us to recycle with the latest equipment We cannot cut down the whole forests but hope it could grow back in 10 years to keep absorbing the carbon dioxide with our magical auxin. Some mistakes, like time, once have been made would never be fixed. Environment is the most clearest example, in order to avoid such tragedy, the government should protect the environment from now. has better focus on environmental protection now.

Another reason why I advocate for space technology is that it is not only good for the future, but also today. at this very hour, at this very minute, without the satellites, an Australian could never be able to take a day off, say, like a couch potato, watch a football fame on the opposite side of the planet. with satellites, never will a chinese professor traveled by air to academic meeting in america, step out the airplane with a trembling hand.

In order to protect whales, we should stop putting rubbish into the sea. At the same time , rules on whale protection should be made.Besides，learning more about whales is a good way to protect them.I hope everyone will try our best to protect the animals.

In my childhood there were a lot of things that held many sweet memories. But my favorite thing is a book.

It is a book with a red cover. My mom bought it as my fourth birthday gift. My mom often read it for me before I went to bed when I was a child. It’s a book about mother’s unselfish love. I was moved by the stories when my mom told them to me. Time flies. When I read them again it made me remember the things my mom did for me and I realize that my mom’s love is so precious.

All in all, at the bottom of my heart I have to be honest and say this book still reminds me of my childhood and my mom’s unselfish love now.

I have owned a big toy bear since I was a kid. Let me tell you the story of us.

The bear is my favorite toy. It was sent by my best friend on my sixth birthday. At that time I was so small so the bear seemed quite big to me.

Speaking of the bear and me, we have many sweet and soft memories. I put it on my bed and slept next to it every night until 3 years ago. Sometimes when I was alone, I told it some stories I liked. I also told the bear some of my secrects if I was unhappy. The bear made me feel so safe when I was with it. It is not only a good listener but my friend as well.

The toy bear is also a symbol of friendship between my best friend and me. So it has been my favorite toy since my childhood. The bear has held all my childhood memories.

篇五：白鲸读后感

Moby dick

Moby Dick is a novel written in 1851 by Herman Melville, a famous American novelist.

Moby Dick is the name of the sperm whale in his novel. This novel is an epic sea story of captain Ahab’s voyage in pursuit of the sperm whale called Moby Dick. The captain Ahab is the head of a whaling ship, Pequod. Captain Ahab has only one leg as his another leg was taken away by the whale Moby Dick on a precious voyage. Therefore Ahab hates Moby Dick and resolves to hunt him to the kill. He hangs a doubloon on the mast as a reward for anyone who sights the whale first. The Pequod makes a good catch of whales but Ahab refuses to turn back as he hasn’t killed his enemy. Finally, the white whale Moby Dick appears and the ship begins its doomed fight with it. They have fought against the whale for three days. On the first two days, the whale overturns their two boats. When the third days comes, Arab and his crew manage to plunge a harpoon into it, but the whale carries the Pequod along with it to its doom. All on board the whaler get drowned, except one, Ishmael, who survives to tell the tale. What I read was chapter XLI, which tells the fierceness of Moby Dick and the persistence of Capital Ahab in revenging against Moby Dick.

Use of symbolism is one of the most obvious characteristics of the novel. It can be seen clearly from the names of characters, such as Ahab

and Ishmael. Ahab is the pagan king in the Bible. Captain Ahab in the novel is conceited, just like a dictatorial tyrant on board. And Ishmael is a person who is being abandoned in the Bible. In the novel, he is the person abandoned by society. The voyage symbols the search for the ultimate truth of experience or the process for human being to conquer the nature. And Moby Dick, the whale, is the final mystery of the universe or the unconquerable nature.

This chapter is easily divided into two parts. The former part of the chapter depicts the ferocity of Moby Dick with all sorts of rumors and many horrible experiences of fishermen. The description, to some extents, is similar to human’s impression on the mysterious nature. And the latter part emphasizes Captain Ahab’s persistence in revenging against Moby Dick. To some degree, he is considered as human being.

On the one hand, haunted by the ferocity of Moby Dick, people make a lot of rumors or even superstitions. People are afraid of Moby Dick. On the other hand, they also want to conquer Moby Dick, so people keep on challenging the mselves and are injured or even killed by Moby Dick. Moby Dick is symbolic of the nature, mysterious, horrible, cruel and unconquerable. Captain Ahab and these whalers are human being, who persist in struggling against the nature. As for the struggle, it can be defined as the embodiment of unbending spirit of human being or human’s blind confidence of their strength. This story is ended with a

tragedy as whalers and Moby Dick perish together. From this perspective, the author indicate that nature is inviolable. We should treat the nature with awe, or we will be punished by the nature or human and nature will come to death together.
