【课外阅读】EarlyBirdsMisstheWorms(早出生的小鸟会没有毛毛虫可吃)

TIMING IS EVERYTHING THE WHITE OAKS SANITARY SEWER DIVERSION AND STORAGE PROJECT (2)

Early Birds Miss the Worms(早出生的小鸟会没有毛毛虫可吃)抚养后代需要花费很多的时间,耗费很多的能量。

对于生物来说,如果没有足够的食物是一件非常危险的事情。

经过长期的研究发现:如果大自然不合作的话,亲代对后代的抚养可能会成为空话。

这片文章中揭示:全球气候变暖可能会导致某些鸟类灭绝,因为在食物丰富,可以养活后代之前,这些鸟已经结束了抚养后代的任务。

Climate casualties. Changing climates may cause blue tits to breed out of sync with their food source.CREDIT: GEORGE MCCARTHY/CORBIS自从80年代,法国蒙彼利埃市功能和进化生态研究中心的进化生态学家Jacques Blondel 就开始研究生活在橡树林中的一种叫做蓝山雀的小鸟。

他选择了两个研究地点,一个是在他的研究所附近的树林中,另一个是在125公里外的科西嘉岛上。

在这两个地方,蓝山雀选择不同的生境作为繁殖场所。

在科西嘉岛上,小山雀选择常绿的橡树林作为繁殖地,而在蒙彼利埃市小山雀则选择落叶的橡树林作为繁殖场所。

然而,现在仍有很多生活在大陆上的鸟类,都像生活在科西嘉岛上的山雀一样,选择常绿橡树林筑巢。

大约在四年前,Blondel 和Donald Thomas (加拿大的生理生态学家)决定进一步追踪小山雀的鸟的活动情况。

研究发现:如果让蒙彼利埃市的山雀在常绿橡树林中抚养后代,那它需要的能量是科西嘉岛上山雀抚养后代所需能量的两倍。

原因是:蒙彼利埃市的小鸟繁殖的时间不合适。

Thomas说:科西嘉岛上的蓝山雀在六月份繁殖,这只正是新叶刚刚长出来的时候,而嚼食树叶的毛毛虫的数量也是最多的。

在大陆上,大多数的鸟类要比科西嘉岛上的山雀提早3个星期繁殖,因为在大陆,落叶橡树发芽的时间较早,所以毛毛虫数量丰富的时间也比较早。

介绍自己最喜欢的一个故事英语作文

TIMING IS EVERYTHING THE WHITE OAKS SANITARY SEWER DIVERSION AND STORAGE PROJECT (7)

介绍自己最喜欢的一个故事英语作文全文共3篇示例,供读者参考篇1My Favorite Story: The Adventures of Tom SawyerHave you ever read the amazing book The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain? It's my absolute favorite story of all time! Let me tell you all about it.The book is about a mischievous young boy named Tom Sawyer who lives in the fictional town of St. Petersburg, Missouri way back in the 1840s. Tom is always getting into trouble with his pranks and schemes, making the story hilarious and exciting.It all starts when Tom is forced by his Aunt Polly to whitewash a huge fence as punishment for his bad behavior. But clever Tom turns it into a game, tricking his friends into paying him to do the hard work of whitewashing for him! That's just the beginning of Tom's funny tricks.Tom's best friend is a boy named Huckleberry Finn, who comes from a very poor family. Huck is even more mischievous than Tom and has basically been raising himself without anyparents around. He's had to learn some tough life lessons at a young age.One night, Tom and Huck witness a terrible crime in a graveyard - a scary man named Injun Joe murders another man named Dr. Robinson! This event kicks off the main adventure and mystery of the story as Tom and Huck struggle with whether to reveal what they've seen or stay quiet.My favorite part comes next - Tom and Huck run away together to have an epic adventure on an island on the Mississippi River! They get to live like real pirates for a while, having a campfire, fishing, exploring caves, and just being free. I wish I could run away and have that kind of fun!When they return to town, they find out that everyone thought they had drowned in the river. At their own funeral, they get to listen to people say nice things about them! Tom debates whether to reveal himself and then decides to have some fun by haunting the town as mischievous ghosts with Huck.Eventually they reveal they're alive, but this puts them in danger from the murderer Injun Joe who is still on the loose. He ends up trapping Tom in a cave, but Huck is able to save him in a dramatic rescue!In the end, with Tom and Huck's help, Injun Joe is brought to justice for his crimes. Tom even finds some buried treasure that the criminal had stashed away.I love this story so much because Tom is such a funny, clever main character who is always getting into crazy adventures. It makes me wish I could travel back in time and join him and Huck on the Mississippi River. The book has mystery, humor, excitement, and even a little spookiness with the graveyard scene. It's the perfect adventure book!I read The Adventures of Tom Sawyer for the first time last year and became completely obsessed with it. I've read it three more times since then and I act out scenes with my friends during recess at school. We all take turns playing Tom, Huck, Injun Joe and the other characters. My mom even made us costumes for my last birthday party!I'm sure I'll keep reading and loving this book for my entire life. Whenever I'm feeling bored or sad, I can open it up and instantly get transported to Tom Sawyer's world of fun and mischief on the mighty Mississippi. In my opinion, it's simply the most entertaining book ever written. If you haven't read The Adventures of Tom Sawyer yet, you are really missing out! Gofind a copy as soon as you can - I'm certain you'll love it as much as I do.篇2My Favorite Story: The Tale of Peter RabbitHi there! My name is Lily and I'm 10 years old. Today I want to tell you all about my absolute favorite story - the classic tale of Peter Rabbit by Beatrix Potter. This story has been a huge part of my life ever since I was a tiny baby, and I never get tired of reading it or having it read to me. Get ready, because I'm going to tell you everything about why I love this book so much!First, let me give you a quick summary in case you haven't read it before. The story is about a mischievous young rabbit named Peter who lives with his mother and sisters - Flopsy, Mopsy, and Cotton-tail. One day, Peter disobeys his mom and sneaks into Mr. McGregor's vegetable garden to feast on some of the fresh vegetables growing there, even though he was warned many times not to go there. After overindulging and getting a tummy ache, the farmer spots Peter and chases him around trying to put him in his oven for pie! Peter has quite an adventure trying to escape, losing his jacket and shoes along theway before finally making it back home to his family safe and sound, but very sick from eating too much.I love this story for so many reasons. The main character, Peter Rabbit, is just the best. He's curious, adventurous, and a tiny bit naughty - kind of like me sometimes! I can really relate to wanting to do things I'm not supposed to and getting in a little trouble. But deep down, Peter is a good bunny who loves his family. I think most kids feel that way too - we might disobey our parents once in awhile, but we still love them a whole lot.The illustrations in the book are so wonderful too. Beatrix Potter was incredibly talented and all the drawings of Peter, his family, Mr. McGregor and his garden are just beautiful. The images are so detailed and delicate, and really bring the story to life on the page. My favorite picture is the one of Peter looking sick in the basket after his big adventure. He just looks so pitiful but you can't help giggling at his big round belly!Another reason I cherish this tale is because it was the first "big kid" book I ever got read to me by my parents after I outgrew all the baby books. I remember so vividly cuddling up on the couch or in bed as Mom or Dad read me the words in their fun voices, doing character voices for Peter and his family.We'd laugh together at all the funny parts. It's one of my most special childhood memories for sure.I also love the lessons that Peter Rabbit teaches. The biggest one is the importance of obedience and listening to your parents. They give you rules to follow to keep you safe, just like Peter's mom told him not to go into Mr. McGregor's garden because it was dangerous. Peter learned that lesson the hard way! The story also shows that overindulging or being greedy can lead to trouble too - which is why Peter got such a tummy ache after eating too many veggies.But my very favorite part is simply the sense of adventure and excitement in the story. I can imagine how thrilling it must have felt for Peter to sneak around the garden, dodging the scary farmer, losing his clothes, and narrowly escaping with his life. It's like being on the craziest, most fun adventure ever as a little bunny! I've definitely pretended to be Peter Rabbit plenty of times while playing in the backyard. Every kid loves a good adventure.My mom says this book is considered a true classic of children's literature because it has been adored by generations and generations of kids all over the world since it was first published in 1902. How cool is that? Millions of children beforeme, and I'm sure millions after me, will all get to experience the magic of this simple but brilliant tale of a mischievous bunny. Just thinking about that makes me feel so happy and connected to kids of the past and future.Well, I could honestly go on and on talking about why I love the story of Peter Rabbit so much. It's been a constant in my life, almost like another member of the family. I've probably read or listened to it over a hundred times and I never get bored of it. Whenever I'm feeling sad or sick, my mom always reads it to me to cheer me up. I'm going to keep this book forever, and someday when I'm a parent I'll make sure to read it to my own children over and over too. This wonderful tale really is the gift that keeps on giving for me!So there you have it - my all-time favorite story explained! If you haven't read the adventure of Peter Rabbit before, I super duper recommend that you do. It's a true classic that I'm certain you'll love just as much as me. Thanks for letting me gush about my favorite book. I'll leave you with this - perhaps I'll see you'round like a ........... bunny!篇3My Favorite Story: The Lion, the Witch, and the WardrobeI absolutely love the story of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis! It's the first book in the Chronicles of Narnia series, and it's an amazing fantasy adventure. Let me tell you all about it!The story starts off with four children – Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy Pevensie. They've been sent away from London during World War II to stay in an old professor's house in the countryside to escape the air raids. On a rainy day, the kids are playing hide and seek, and Lucy, the youngest, hides in an old wardrobe in a spare room. But this is no ordinary wardrobe! Lucy steps inside and finds herself in a magical land called Narnia, where it's always winter but never Christmas.In Narnia, Lucy meets a faun named Mr. Tumnus. He tells her that the land is under the evil power of the White Witch, who makes it always winter and never Christmas. The Witch is so mean that she has turned Mr. Tumnus' friend to stone with her wand! Lucy is horrified, but she promises to keep Narnia a secret from her siblings.When Lucy returns to Professor Kirke's house, her siblings don't believe her story about the magical land at first. But soon, Edmund follows her through the wardrobe and meets the White Witch, who tricks him into betraying his siblings by offering himTurkish Delight and the promise of making him a prince. How sneaky!Eventually, all four Pevensie children make their way into Narnia. They meet all sorts of amazing creatures like talking animals and dwarves. They learn from the wise beaver couple that the only way to defeat the White Witch is with the help of the great lion Aslan, who is the rightful ruler of Narnia. The beavers tell them that Aslan has been away from Narnia for a long time, but that there is a prophecy about the four children saving Narnia.The children set out to meet Aslan and his army at the Stone Table. Along the way, they are nearly captured by the Witch's wolf secret police! But Father Christmas himself shows up and gives them magical gifts and tools to help them on their quest, including a sword and shield for Peter and a magical horn to call for help.When they arrive at Aslan's camp, the children are in awe of him. He is the most magnificent lion, with a voice that shakes the earth. Under Aslan's guidance, the children help prepare for an epic battle against the White Witch's forces of evil wolves, minotaurs, and other dark creatures.In one of the most exciting and scary scenes, Aslan goes to parley with the White Witch, who claims that Edmund's betrayal means his blood belongs to her. After some tricky word games, Aslan secretly agrees to trade his life for Edmund's. That night, while everyone sleeps, the Witch's creatures humiliate and kill Aslan on the Stone Table! It's one of the saddest parts of the book.But in an amazing turn of events, Aslan comes back to life the next morning! His death and resurrection were part of a deeper "magic" that even the Witch didn't understand. With Aslan revived, the Narnians rally and a huge battle ensues between Aslan's forces and the Witch's army. It's an epic conflict with swords clanging and mythical creatures fighting all around.In the end, Aslan's forces win and the White Witch is defeated. The four children become the new kings and queens of Narnia to rule over the newborn age of peace and spring. They reign for many years until one day they accidentally stumble back through the magic wardrobe from the professor's house, back to England as children again. But in Narnia, they were kings and heroes!That's just a quick summary, but the actual book is so much richer with amazing details and adventures. I love it for thecreativity of the magical world of Narnia that C.S. Lewis created, filled with talking animals, mythical beasts, dwarves, and other imaginative creatures. The metaphors of winter vs. spring and the battle of good vs. evil draw you in.But most of all, I love the allegory of Aslan the lion, who represents Christ-like strength, wisdom, and sacrificial love. Watching the Pevensie children get swept up into Narnian adventures where they learn courage, unselfishness, and faith in Aslan is inspiring. The story has layers of meaning that you can appreciate more as you get older.I've read The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe over and over since I was little. I'm constantly finding new details to enjoy every time. The world of Narnia that C.S. Lewis created feels so real and magical. I wish I could go there myself! I can't wait to read all the other books in the Narnia series to continue the adventure. If you haven't read this book yet, you absolutely must! It will spark your imagination like nothing else. That's why The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe is my absolute favorite story of all time.。

哈利波特与密室读后感中英文版

TIMING IS EVERYTHING THE WHITE OAKS SANITARY SEWER DIVERSION AND STORAGE PROJECT (9)

哈利波特与密室读后感中英文版全文共12篇示例,供读者参考篇1Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets - A Book ReviewWow, I just finished reading Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and it was so awesome! This was the second book in the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling and I thought it was even better than the first one.The story picked up from the end of the first book. Harry Potter is a 12-year-old wizard who just finished his first year at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He has to go back to living with his mean aunt, uncle, and cousin for the summer before his second year at Hogwarts begins.At first, Harry's summer seems really boring and terrible like always. His aunt and uncle still treat him super badly and make him do a bunch of chores around the house. But then something crazy happens - a house elf named Dobby shows up in Harry's bedroom! Dobby tells Harry that he has to stay away from Hogwarts because there is a big danger there this year. But ofcourse, Harry doesn't listen because Hogwarts is his favorite place in the world.When it's time to go back to school, Harry and his friend Ron can't get onto the train to Hogwarts because the entrance is sealed by magic. So they have to take Ron's dad's flying car to get there! They end up crashing the car into the Whomping Willow tree on the Hogwarts grounds. It was such a wild adventure just getting to school.Once they arrive at Hogwarts, Harry starts hearing a creepy voice that seems to be coming from inside the walls. No one else can hear it though, which is really strange. There are also some scary messages written on the walls in what looks like blood, saying the "Chamber of Secrets has been opened" and that the "enemies of the heir beware." Nobody knows what it means!Later we find out that there is a legendary Chamber of Secrets hidden somewhere at Hogwarts that was created by one of the founders named Salazar Slytherin. The Chamber is home to a monster that is supposed to get rid of all the Muggle-born students (wizards who are born to non-magical parents). Everybody is afraid that the heir of Slytherin has opened the Chamber and let the monster out to attack people.A bunch of creepy things start happening where students keep getting petrified (turned into stone) when they come across this monster. At one point, even Harry and Ron's friend Hermione gets petrified! They have to try to figure out who is behind opening the Chamber before a student gets killed.I don't want to spoil too much of what happens, but let's just say that Harry and Ron have to go through the Chamber itself and come face-to-face with the monster. It was such an intense and scary scene! I was reading so fast because I couldn't wait to see what would happen. There were some great surprises and twists that I didn't see coming at all.In the end, Harry is able to defeat the monster with help from Dumbledore and a mysterious book that gives him clues. We also find out who was actually opening the Chamber the whole time, which was really shocking. The good guys win and Hogwarts is safe again!I just loved this book so much. J.K. Rowling did an incredible job making me feel like I was really there at Hogwarts going on all these adventures with Harry, Ron and Hermione. The story was exciting and had me on the edge of my seat the whole time.I never knew what crazy thing was going to happen next!My favorite characters were definitely still Harry, Ron and Hermione. They are such a great trio of friends who always look out for each other. I loved reading about how brave and loyal they were, even when facing really dangerous situations. It was really inspiring!I also thought it was cool how we got to learn more about Harry's world and see more of the magic. Like how they described things like Floo powder for traveling in fireplaces, or the flying car, or even games like Quidditch. The author makes it all seem so vivid and real.The only part I didn't like was when Dobby the house elf had to punish himself by using dangerous magic. That part was a bit disturbing because he would hit himself or do things to hurt himself whenever his master gave him an order. I felt really bad for him having to live like that.Other than that, I just had so much fun escaping into the wizarding world again with this book. I could hardly put it down because I always wanted to keep reading to see what would happen next. I'm definitely going to read the third book in the series as soon as I can!If you haven't read Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets yet, you are really missing out. It's an unbelievable adventurefilled with magic, mysteries, friendship and bravery. I give this book ten out of ten wands! It's a must-read for kids and adults alike. I can't wait to continue the series and see what Harry and his friends get up to next at Hogwarts. I'm sure it will be another wild and amazing ride!Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by J.K.

I could hardly put it down once I started reading it.The story begins with Harry back at the Dursleys' house for the summer holidays after his first year at Hogwarts. Harry's awful aunt and uncle treat him terribly as usual. But then one night, Harry gets an unexpected visitor - a house elf named Dobby! Dobby warns Harry that he must not return to Hogwarts because terrible things are going to happen. But since the Dursleys lock up all Harry's school supplies, he has no choice but to go back.Strange things start happening right away when Harry and Ron can't get through the barrier at King's Cross Station to catch the Hogwarts Express. They decide to fly Mr. Weasley'senchanted car to Hogwarts instead! I thought that was really clever. On the way, they almost get seen by some Muggles and have to hide. When they finally arrive at the school, the car crashes into the violent Whomping Willow tree on the grounds. Oops!In their second year, Harry and his friends have a new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher named Professor Lockhart. At first, I thought Lockhart seemed really cool and brave based on the amazing things in his books. But it turns out he's not a good teacher at all - he's actually a big phony who takes credit for other wizards' achievements! He's really full of himself too.Scarier things keep happening around Hogwarts. Harry starts hearing a creepy voice that seems to be coming from inside the walls. Then Mrs. Norris, the caretaker's cat, gets petrified - turned to stone! More students get petrified after that, including Colin Creevey and Justin Finch-Fletchley. Everyone thinks it's Harry's fault because he's a Parselmouth who can talk to snakes. Even Ron's little sister Ginny gets taken into the Chamber of Secrets itself!It turns out that the monster petrifying everyone is a giant basilisk snake controlled by the Heir of Slytherin. Harry and Ron use clues from Professor Binns' history lessons and schoolbathroom ghoul Moaning Myrtle to figure out where the Chamber's entrance is hidden. They have to sneak in usingPolyjuice Potion to disguise themselves. I couldn't believe they pulled that off!Harry and Ron make it into the Chamber to rescue Ginny from the basilisk and Tom Riddle, who is actually a young version of the evil Lord Voldemort. Fawkes the phoenix saves the day by pecking out the basilisk's eyes and giving Harry the Sorting Hat with Gryffindor's sword inside. Using the sword, Harry kills the basilisk and destroys the part of Voldemort's soul trapped in an old diary.My favorite parts were probably the flying car scenes and Harry speaking Parseltongue to open the Chamber. It was all just so creative and imaginative! I also really liked Dobby the house elf and his role in trying to protect Harry. Though it was pretty scary reading about the attacks and the giant snake monster.This book had great messages too about friendship, bravery, and not judging people by their abilities or backgrounds. Harry is such an inspiring hero who never gives up, even when everyone thinks he's the one unleashing the monster. And even though Ron comes from a poor family, he's a loyal friend who sticks byHarry's side. Hermione is brilliant and always trying to help too, once she gets de-petrified.I can't wait to read the next book in the series to find out what other adventures Harry, Ron and Hermione have at Hogwarts! J.K. Rowling is such an amazing writer to create this whole wizarding world. I give Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets 5 out of 5 stars! It was just spellbinding.篇3Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets Book ReportWow, what an exciting book! Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by J.K. Rowling was even better than the first book in the series. I just couldn't put it down!The story starts during Harry's summer vacation after his first year at Hogwarts. He's stuck at his horrible aunt and uncle's house being treated terribly as usual. But then something strange starts happening - a house elf named Dobby keeps showing up and warning Harry not to go back to Hogwarts because terrible things are going to happen. Of course, Harry doesn't listen because he loves Hogwarts and wants to get away from the Dursleys.When it's finally time to go back to school, Harry and Ron try to get through the barrier at King's Cross Station to get on the Hogwarts Express, but for some reason they can't get through. This has never happened before! So they decide to take Ron's dad's flying car to get to Hogwarts instead. Flying the car was awesome, but then it crashes into the Whomping Willow tree at school and breaks Ron's wand. Uh oh, they're in huge trouble!At the start of term feast, Harry hears a scary voice that seems to be coming from inside the walls saying it wants to kill. No one else can hear it though. Strange things start happening like Harry getting locked in a broom closet and having to use his ability to talk to snakes to get out. Then the attacks start - students get petrified and turned to stone one by one. Harry, Ron, and Hermione think the monster is a basilisk and that the Chamber of Secrets (a secret room built by Salazar Slytherin) has been opened to let the monster out to attack students.To try and find out what's going on, the trio brew up some Polyjuice Potion to disguise themselves. It's pretty gross, but it allows Hermione to turn into a cat creature and for Harry and Ron to turn into Crabbe and Goyle to sneak into the Slytherin common room. They don't find out much, but it's still a wild adventure.Hermione gets petrified herself which is so sad. Harry and Ron are on their own to figure out where the Chamber is. After realizing that the staff has given up, they decide to go looking for the basilisk themselves, which is obviously super dangerous. Ron's broken wand backfires again and they get separated from the spiders in the Forbidden Forest, and Ron gets dragged off by something.Harry finds himself in the Chamber of Secrets talking to a young Tom Riddle, who turns out to be Voldemort. Riddle summons the basilisk and Harry has to fight it off while also dealing with Riddle and a possessed Ginny Weasley. It's a huge fight and Harry gets bitten by the basilisk, almost dying, but Fawkes the phoenix drops the Sorting Hat which has the Sword of Gryffindor inside. Harry uses it to kill the basilisk, destroying one of Voldemort's Horcruxes in the process.The ending is so exciting and emotional - Ginny is saved, Hermione and the other victims are un-petrified, Dobby gets freed by Harry's clever trick, and Lucius Malfoy gets his comeuppance. Harry gets to go home feeling proud of his accomplishments, even if he did get beat up pretty badly. What a rollercoaster of a book!I loved reading about Harry, Ron, and Hermione's adventures and seeing their friendship grow stronger. The magical world of Hogwarts seems to get more and more amazing with all the neat creatures and spells. I can't wait to read the next book to continue the epic story and find out what other dangerous situations Harry gets himself into. These books are just the best!篇4Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets - Book ReviewWow, what an exciting adventure Harry Potter went on in this second book! I couldn't put it down once I started reading. Let me tell you all about the thrilling story.It starts off with Harry being stuck at the Dursleys' house again for the summer holidays. Those horrid Dursley family members are just the worst - they treat Harry so badly just because he's a wizard. I'm so glad I don't have relatives like that! At least Harry has his friends Ron and Hermione to look forward to seeing again at Hogwarts.Harry's summer takes a crazy turn when a house-elf named Dobby starts appearing and warning him not to go back to Hogwarts because there is a dangerous plot happening there.But of course, Harry loves Hogwarts and won't stay away no matter what Dobby says. I probably would have felt the same way if I was in Harry's shoes.Things get even weirder when Ron, Fred, and George Weasley show up in a flying car to rescue Harry from the Dursleys after they bar up his window! That's when you know the Dursleys have gone too far. I was cheering for Harry when he got to leave their house.Once they make it to Hogwarts, strange things start happening right away. Harry hears creepy voices that no one else can hear, and someone is attacking students and leaving them petrified like statues! No one knows who is behind these terrifying attacks.My favourite part was when Harry finds the mysterious diary that can write back to him. I thought that was the coolest magic item ever! Little did Harry know, the diary actually belonged to a young Voldemort and was possessing Ginny Weasley to open the legendary Chamber of Secrets. I gasped out loud when that shocking truth was revealed!It was so scary reading about Harry and Ron having to go into the chamber to fight the basilisk monster and save Ginny. I was on the edge of my seat, scared they might not make it outalive. Thanks to Fawkes the phoenix and the Sorting Hat, they managed to defeat the evil diary and the basilisk. Phew!My heart went out to Ginny though. Can you imagine being possessed by Voldemort and having no idea? That must have been an awful experience for her. I'm just grateful Harry, Ron and the professors at Hogwarts could save her.In the end, everything wraps up nicely - the petrified students are revived, the roosters are kept safe, and Dobby is finally a free elf thanks to Harry's quick thinking with the diary and sock. That tricky Lucius Malfoy got what he deserved!Overall, this book kept me hooked with its sense of mystery and adventure around every corner. The creepy voices, petrified students, gigantic serpent, and a young Voldemort's diary - it had everything! I loved being scared out of my wits while reading but knowing good would triumph over evil in the end. Harry, Ron and Hermione are the best fantasy friends any kid could imagine.I can't wait to read the third book and see what other magic, danger and excitement is in store for the trio at Hogwarts. If you haven't read this book yet, you're really missing out on an epic reading experience! It's my new favourite in the Harry Potter series so far.篇5Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets - A Book ReviewWow, what an amazing book! Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by J.K. Rowling was sooooo good. I could not put it down and read it in just a few days. It was even better than the first book in the series!The story picks up right where the last book left off. Harry is back for another year at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. But this year, strange things start happening that threaten to shut down the whole school! A mysterious voice that only Harry can hear starts following him around the castle. Students are getting attacked and petrified by some unknown force. Scary messages about the Chamber of Secrets being opened are appearing on the walls. And Harry starts to wonder if he might be the one responsible since he can speak Parseltongue like his archenemy Lord Voldemort.I loved all the suspense and mystery around the Chamber of Secrets. What was inside it? Who opened it? Why were students getting petrified? It made me want to keep reading to find out! The book had me on the edge of my seat.My favorite character was probably Dobby the house elf. He was so funny and weird but also really brave. I felt so bad when I found out how cruelly his old masters the Malfoys had treated him. When he first showed up trying to warn Harry not to go to Hogwarts, I thought he was annoying. But by the end I was cheering for the little guy!I also really liked getting to learn more about Harry's world, like how the Weasleys use Floo powder to travel through fireplaces. The scenes at the beginning where Harry gets locked in his room by the Dursleys and Ron's brothers rescue him by ripping out the bars were really exciting. And I thought it was hilarious when they took the flying car to Hogwarts after missing the train!There were some pretty scary parts too though. I definitely wouldn't want to come face to face with the basillisk that lived in the Chamber! The descriptions of the giant snake made me shudder. And I felt awful for poor Hermione when she got petrified by the basillisk just because she's Muggle-born. It's not fair to treat people differently because of their blood status. I'm glad Harry and Ron didn't let that stop them from trying to solve the mystery and save Hogwarts.My only complaint is that I wish we got to see more of Harry's nemesis Draco Malfoy and professor Severus Snape in this book. They're such interesting characters and I wanted to know what new evil schemes they were up to. Maybe they'll have bigger roles in the next book though!Overall, I absolutely loved Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. It had everything - danger, excitement, magic, friendship, humor, and great messages about embracing our differences and not judging people. I can't wait to read the third book to see what Harry and his friends get up to next at Hogwarts! I'm sure it will be another thrilling adventure. This series is my new favorite!Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets - A Book Review (中文版本)哇,真是一本了不起的书!J.K.罗琳的《哈利·波特与密室》实在太棒了。

了不起的盖茨比第七章英语单词知乎全文共3篇示例,供读者参考篇1The Vocabulary of Chapter 7 in The Great Gatsby: A Student's In-Depth AnalysisWhat's up, fellow literature lovers and word nerds? Today, we're diving deep into the rich and symbolic vocabulary found in Chapter 7 of F. Scott Fitzgerald's masterpiece, The Great Gatsby. As a student who adores dissecting literary works, I'm thrilled to share my insights and personal interpretations of the language used in this pivotal chapter.First things first, let's set the stage. Chapter 7 is the climax of the novel, where tensions reach a boiling point, and the illusions surrounding Gatsby's persona and his pursuit of Daisy begin to unravel. The atmosphere is thick with dramatic irony, and Fitzgerald masterfully employs evocative diction to convey the underlying emotions and thematic elements.One word that immediately caught my attention is "inexplicable." Fitzgerald describes the "inexplicable certified confusion" surrounding Gatsby's background and wealth. Thisword not only highlights the mystery and ambiguity surrounding Gatsby but also foreshadows the eventual revelation of his shady past and the disillusionment that follows.Moving on, we encounter the phrase "fantastic conceits." This phrase perfectly encapsulates the grandiose delusions and unrealistic expectations that have driven the characters' actions throughout the novel. It's a poignant reminder of the theme of disillusionment and the harsh reality that often shatters our idealized dreams.Another standout word is "appalling." Used to describe Gatsby's reaction to Tom's revelations about his past, it conveys the profound sense of shock and dismay that overwhelms him as his carefully crafted persona crumbles. The intensity of this word mirrors the devastating impact of the truth on Gatsby's psyche.Let's not forget the word "colossal." Fitzgerald employs this adjective to depict the sheer magnitude of Gatsby's illusions and the scale of his dreams. It's a testament to the grandiose nature of his aspirations, which ultimately prove to be his undoing.Shifting gears, the phrase "grotesque, circumstantial" caught my eye. Fitzgerald uses it to describe the evidence Tom presents against Gatsby, hinting at the sordid and unsavory details of his past. This phrase adds a sense of ugliness and distortion to therevelations, further emphasizing the stark contrast between Gatsby's idealized persona and the harsh realities of his life.One word that struck me as particularly powerful is "holocaust." Fitzgerald employs this term to describe the intense emotional turmoil and devastation that Gatsby experiences as his dreams are shattered. The word's connotations of complete destruction and sacrifice resonate deeply with the theme of disillusionment and the sacrifices Gatsby made in pursuit of his dreams.Finally, let's explore the phrase "obscurity borne once more in line of sight." This poetic line refers to the resurfacing of Gatsby's obscure past, which had been carefully concealed until this point. It's a haunting reminder that no matter how hard we try to reinvent ourselves, our pasts have a way of catching up with us, and the truth ultimately prevails.In conclusion, the vocabulary employed by Fitzgerald in Chapter 7 of The Great Gatsby is a masterclass in literary craftsmanship. Each word and phrase is meticulously chosen to convey deeper meanings, symbolism, and thematic elements. From the sense of mystery and ambiguity to the harsh realities of disillusionment, the diction in this chapter is a powerful tool thatenhances the emotional impact of the narrative and leaves a lasting impression on the reader.So, there you have it, my fellow word enthusiasts – a deep dive into the vocabulary of Chapter 7 of The Great Gatsby. I hope this analysis has piqued your interest and inspired you to delve deeper into the rich tapestry of language woven by Fitzgerald in this literary masterpiece.篇2Vocabulary Gems from Chapter 7 of The Great GatsbyHey fellow bookworms! As an avid reader and lover of literature, I always look forward to diving deep into the linguistic riches found in classic novels. Today, I want to share some of the juiciest vocabulary morsels from Chapter 7 of F. Scott Fitzgerald's masterpiece, The Great Gatsby.Let's kick things off with a word that perfectly encapsulates the lavish lifestyle portrayed in the novel: "sumptuous." When Gatsby's house is described as "a solemn, haunting house, broodingly immense among its fringed and sumptuous gardens," the word "sumptuous" conjures up images of extravagant opulence and luxurious splendor. It's a word that screams "over-the-top" and "no expense spared."Speaking of lavish parties, the word "revelers" caught my eye. It refers to the raucous, carefree merrymakers who attended Gatsby's legendary bashes. Can't you just picture a horde of revelers, decked out in their finest threads, dancing the night away with reckless abandon?Now, let's delve into a word that carries a more ominous undertone: "sinister." When Nick describes Gatsby's smile as having "a quality of eternal reassurance in that conclusive smile, the vigorous promise that the rock of the world was founded securely on a fairy's wing," the word "sinister" is used to describe the smile's "sinister resilience." This word choice hints at something darker lurking beneath the surface, foreshadowing the tragic events to come.Moving on, we have the delightfully whimsical word "oblivious." When the narrative states that Gatsby was "oblivious of the sunshine," it paints a vivid picture of someone so lost in their own thoughts and preoccupations that they fail to notice the world around them. It's a relatable feeling we've all experienced at one point or another.Next up is a word that evokes a sense of mystique and intrigue: "inscrutable." When Nick observes Gatsby's "inscrutable vision," it suggests a depth and complexity to Gatsby's characterthat defies easy comprehension. It's a tantalizing hint at the layers of mystery surrounding this enigmatic figure.Let's not forget the deliciously descriptive word "grotesque." When Nick describes the "grotesque, fascinating brightness" of Gatsby's wealth and possessions, it simultaneously conveys a sense of awe and repulsion. It's a word that perfectly captures the allure and excess of the Gatsby lifestyle while hinting at its inherent ugliness.Moving on, we have the evocative word "haunt." When Nick mentions Gatsby's "haunting loneliness," it conjures up images of a specter-like figure, forever trapped in a state of melancholic solitude. It's a word that adds a haunting, ethereal quality to Gatsby's character.Finally, let's explore the word "permeate." When Nick describes the "permeating scent" of Gatsby's house, it creates a vivid sensory experience, as if the reader can smell the rich, lingering aromas wafting through the air. It's a word that adds depth and texture to the descriptive passages.Well, there you have it, fellow word nerds! A tantalizing glimpse into the rich vocabulary that permeates Chapter 7 of The Great Gatsby. Whether you're a seasoned literary connoisseur or a budding bibliophile, these words are sure to add somelinguistic sparkle to your reading experience. Happy reading, and may the words dance off the page and into your heart!篇3The Dazzling Vocabulary of Gatsby's ReunionChapter 7 of The Great Gatsby is a pivotal moment in the novel, where the long-awaited reunion between Gatsby and Daisy finally occurs. As a student of literature, I was struck by the masterful way Fitzgerald uses language to convey the intense emotions and tensions at play during this climactic scene. The vocabulary he employs is rich, evocative, and at times, dazzlingly complex, adding layers of depth and nuance to the narrative. Let's delve into some of the most captivating words and phrases from this chapter.One word that immediately caught my attention was "colossal," used to describe Gatsby's dreams and aspirations. This adjective conjures up images of something vast, monumental, and awe-inspiring, perfectly capturing the grandiose nature of Gatsby's pursuit of Daisy. The word's etymological roots in Greek further emphasize its magnitude, lending a sense of timelessness and universality to Gatsby's desires.Another striking word is "feign," which Fitzgerald employs when describing Gatsby's attempts to appear casual and nonchalant in Daisy's presence. The term "feign" suggests a deliberate act of deception or pretense, hinting at the complex web of emotions and facades that Gatsby has woven around himself. This word choice skillfully underscores the deep vulnerability and insecurity that lie beneath Gatsby's carefully constructed persona.Fitzgerald's use of the word "ineffable" is particularly noteworthy, as he applies it to describe the quality of Gatsby's smile when he finally reunites with Daisy. "Ineffable" suggests something that is too profound or too sublime to be adequately expressed in words, perfectly capturing the depth of Gatsby's emotional state in that moment. This word choice elevates the scene to a level of almost spiritual transcendence, reflecting the intensity of Gatsby's long-held dreams and desires.The phrase "furnace of vitriol" is another evocative turn of phrase that caught my eye. Fitzgerald uses this vivid metaphor to describe Tom Buchanan's simmering anger and hostility towards Gatsby. The word "vitriol" conjures up images of a highly corrosive and toxic substance, while "furnace" implies an intense and uncontrollable heat, together painting a powerful picture ofTom's barely contained rage. This metaphor foreshadows the explosive confrontation that ultimately erupts between the two men, heightening the sense of tension and impending conflict.Fitzgerald's use of the word "appalling" is particularly interesting, as it carries a dual meaning. On one level, it suggests something that is shocking or horrifying, reflecting the profound emotional turmoil and disillusionment that Gatsby experiences as his dreams begin to unravel. However, the word "appalling" can also mean "causing dismay or disappointment," which aptly describes the sense of disenchantment that Gatsby must feel as he realizes the true nature of Daisy's character and the insurmountable challenges standing in the way of their reunion.The phrase "grotesque and fantastic conceits" is another standout example of Fitzgerald's rich vocabulary. "Conceits" refers to fanciful or imaginative notions, while "grotesque" and "fantastic" suggest something that is both distorted and whimsical. This phrase is used to describe the extravagant and over-the-top decorations adorning Gatsby's mansion, reflecting the grandiose and almost absurd lengths to which he has gone in his pursuit of wealth and status – all in an effort to win over Daisy. This vivid description not only paints a striking visualpicture but also serves as a metaphor for the distorted and fantastical nature of Gatsby's dreams and aspirations.Throughout Chapter 7, Fitzgerald employs a multitude of evocative and richly descriptive words and phrases, such as "riotous," "curtains of azaleas," "vanished trees," and "ecstatic caress." These word choices not only create a vivid and immersive reading experience but also serve to reinforce the overarching themes of the novel, such as the futility of pursuing the past, the corrupting influence of wealth and materialism, and the disillusionment that often accompanies the pursuit of idealized dreams.As a student of literature, I am in awe of Fitzgerald's masterful command of language and his ability to weave together words in a way that not only tells a compelling story but also resonates on a deeper, emotional level. The vocabulary he employs in Chapter 7, with its rich tapestry of evocative and nuanced terms, is a testament to his literary genius and his profound understanding of the human condition.In conclusion, the dazzling vocabulary and artful use of language in Chapter 7 of The Great Gatsby are a true hallmark of Fitzgerald's literary prowess. From the grandiose "colossal" to the sublime "ineffable," and the vivid "furnace of vitriol," eachword is carefully chosen and expertly woven into the narrative, adding depth, nuance, and emotional resonance to this pivotal moment in the novel. As a student, exploring and unpacking the meanings and connotations of these words has not only enriched my understanding of the text but has also deepened my appreciation for the power of language and the craft of great literary works.。

TIMING IS EVERYTHING THE WHITE OAKS SANITARY SEWER DIVERSION AND STORAGE PROJECT (14)

我最喜爱的经典名著英语作文100词全文共6篇示例,供读者参考篇1My Favorite Classic NovelHi there! My name is Tommy and I'm in the 5th grade. I love reading books, especially the classics. Today I want to tell you all about my absolute favorite classic novel of all time - The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain.This book is so much fun and full of adventures! It's about a mischievous boy named Tom Sawyer who lives in the fictional town of St. Petersburg, Missouri way back in the 1840s. Tom is always getting into trouble and going on wild escapades instead of doing his schoolwork or chores. His best friend is Huckleberry Finn, who doesn't have any parents to look after him. Together they get mixed up in all sorts of crazy situations!One of the most exciting parts is when Tom and Huck sneak out at night to go watch their own funeral after playing hooky from school for a few days. Everyone thinks they're dead after finding some blood and mugger's loot in the graveyard. At theirown funeral, they get to see how much everybody loved and missed them. It's both sad and hilarious at the same time!Another great chapter is when Tom gets punished and has to whitewash a huge fence as punishment. He pretends like it's so much fun that all the other boys start begging him to let them do it instead. By acting that way, he actually tricks them into doing his chore for him! Such a clever boy.Then there's the part where Tom and Huck run away to an island in the Mississippi River. They camp out, catch fish, and pretend to be pirates looking for buried treasure. While living on the island, they learn that the town thinks they're dead, so they have a secret picnic at their own funeral! How crazy is that?My favorite part though is when Tom and Huck witness a murder in the graveyard at night. They're hiding in the bushes when Injun Joe the villain stabs the Doctor. The boys vow never to tell a soul because Injun Joe is part of a dangerous gang. This sets up an exciting ending where Tom has to go into Injun Joe's hideout and clear his friend Muff Potter of the crime. It's all very suspenseful!I just love how imaginative and unpredictable the whole story is. You never know what kind of trouble Tom is going to get into next! The book has adventure, humor, mystery, and even alittle bit of spookiness with the haunted house and Injun Joe the villain. It really sparks your imagination.Plus, the book shows you what life was like for kids back in those days. No TVs or video games - they had to make up their own fun. Kids then had more freedom to roam around town and the countryside looking for excitement. It's fun to imagine myself back in that time and picture the games kids played.The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is a true classic for a reason. The storytelling and characters are so rich and captivating. I've read it over and over but it never gets old. It always reminds me why I love getting lost in books and using my imagination. If you haven't read this one yet, I highly recommend it! It's an all-time great that will never be forgotten.篇2My Favorite Classic NovelOne of the greatest books I've ever read is the classic novel "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" by Lewis Carroll. It's a story that has captured my imagination and filled my head with the most wonderfully weird ideas and images!The book starts when young Alice is feeling bored on a warm summer day. Suddenly, she spots a talking White Rabbit dressed in a waistcoat and carrying a pocket watch. Being the curious girl she is, Alice can't resist following him down a rabbit hole into the magical world of Wonderland!From that point on, Alice's adventures become wilder and wackier with each new character she meets. There's the Mad Hatter and March Hare having a perpetual tea party, the grinning Cheshire Cat who can disappear and reappear at will, and the frightening Queen of Hearts who is always yelling "Off with their heads!" at her card soldier subjects.One of my favorite scenes is Alice attending the Queen's crazy croquet game where the mallets are flamingos and the balls are hedgehogs! Another great part is when Alice encounters the hookah-smoking caterpillar and they have a hilarious conversation about her struggles with changing size. At one point she's huge, barely able to fit into a house, and then the next minute she's shrunken down to just inches tall!What I love most about Wonderland is how it turns all the rules of the real world upside down. Nothing makes sense, but somehow it all seems to work in its own madcap way. Doors and windows lead to totally unexpected places. Animals not only talk,but they have distinct personalities and attitudes. Even growing smaller or taller is no big deal - you just nibble from the right side of a mushroom!For an adult, Wonderland might seem too wacky and illogical. But for a kid like me, that's exactly what makes it so appealing! It lets my imagination run completely wild without any limits. I can picture Alice's adventures so vividly, like I'm right there beside her experiencing all the silliness myself.The book teaches some good lessons too without being too preachy about it. Alice shows courage by not letting Wonderland's strangeness frighten her too much. And she uses her quick wits and common sense to get out of many tricky situations the mad residents put her in. But most of all, Alice reminds us to never lose our sense of curiosity and willingness to see the world in new, unconventional ways.Every time I read "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" I get swept up in the crazy, colorful goings-on all over again. The memorable characters and quotable lines never get old for me. Like when the Cheshire Cat says "We're all mad here" or the Mad Hatter asks the bizarre riddle "Why is a raven like a writing desk?" Those phrases have become a permanent part of our language and imagination thanks to Lewis Carroll's genius.I've read a bunch of other great books, both modern and classic. But "Alice in Wonderland" will always have a special place in my heart and mind. It's a portal to a world of pure fantasy and delightful nonsense. A world where rabbits can talk, cats can grin, and little girls can go on unbelievable adventures by falling down a rabbit hole! What could be more wonderful than that?篇3My Favorite Classic BookBooks are amazing! They can transport you to different worlds, times, and places. They introduce you to fascinating characters and incredible adventures. Of all the books I've read, my absolute favorite is the classic novel "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" by Lewis Carroll."Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" tells the story of a curious young girl named Alice who falls down a rabbit hole into a magical world called Wonderland. In Wonderland, nothing is as it seems - animals talk, inanimate objects come to life, and reality is turned upside down! Alice has the most peculiar experiences and encounters the strangest creatures you can imagine.One of the first characters Alice meets is the White Rabbit, a rabbit obsessed with being on time who worries he is late for avery important date. Despite his frantic state, the White Rabbit is quite polite and dapper, dressed in a waistcoat with a pocket watch. I love his funny combination of being both hurried yet well-mannered.After following the White Rabbit, Alice ends up attending a bizarre tea party with the March Hare, the Mad Hatter, and the Dormouse. This trio of friends are utterly mad, telling nonsensical riddles and breaking into song at random! The Mad Hatter is my favorite with his gigantic top hat, wide grin, and zany personality. He's completely bonkers but in the most delightfully entertaining way.Alice also crosses paths with the Cheshire Cat, a cheeky feline capable of invisibility and impossible physics. With a permanent mischievous grin, the Cheshire Cat toys with Alice through clever wordplay and philosophical logic that leaves her baffled. I adore the Cheshire Cat's sly sense of humor and his unforgettable power to disappear, leaving only his iconic grin behind.Throughout her escapades, Alice encounters playing cards that can talk, caterpillars that smoke hookahs, and babies that morphinto pigs! The crazy scenarios she finds herself in are so wildly imaginative and surreal. Wonderland is a topsy-turvy placewhere the rules of our world are turned on their head through Lewis Carroll's brilliant use of logic, fantasy, and paradox.While the zany characters and absurd situations are endlessly entertaining, my favorite part of the book is Alice's resilience, curiosity, and ability to roll with the madness around her. Even when constantly baffled, she faces each new predicament with plucky determination. Alice represents the childlike sense of wonder we all should strive to maintain.What I love most about "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" is how it fires up my imagination and insatiable sense of curiosity, just like Alice. Every time I read it, I'm utterly captivated by Wonderland's bizarre magic. Lewis Carroll's clever wordplay and hilariously nonsensical poetry make me laugh out loud. The book is an incomparable showcase of pure, joyous whimsy.Escaping to the marvelous world of Wonderland filled with mad adventures is a welcome break from reality. This timeless tale has sparked endless adaptations in movies, plays, art, and even bedsheets and tea sets! "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" is a masterpiece that has inspired endless wonder in children and adults alike for over 150 years. It is a cherished classic that will forever remain my favorite book of all time!篇4My Favorite Classic BookMy favorite book of all time is Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll. It's a story about a curious young girl named Alice who falls down a rabbit hole into a magical world filled with the most peculiar characters and events!I absolutely love the wacky characters Alice meets on her journey through Wonderland. There's the White Rabbit who is always rushing about frantically and worrying about being late. He's so funny when he pulls out his big watch and gets flustered.I wish I had a cute rabbit friend to follow down a rabbit hole!Then there's the Caterpillar who sits on a giant mushroom smoking a hookah. He talks in riddles and seems so wise, even though he's just a big creepy caterpillar! I laugh every time he gets irritated and asks Alice the confusing question "Who are you?" It's not an easy thing to answer when you're just a young girl.My favorite character has to be the Cheshire Cat though. He's this big mischievous grinning cat that can appear and disappear, leaving only his grin behind! He loves taunting Alice with his silly logic and wordplay. I'll never forget when he tellsAlice that they're all mad in Wonderland, including him. "You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here." So clever and funny!There are just so many magnificently mad moments in the book that make me smile and laugh out loud. Like when Alice attends the never-ending Tea Party with the March Hare, Mad Hatter, and Dormouse. They're so rude and peculiar, but in the funniest way possible. I loved when the Hatter tells the poor sleepy Dormouse "Then you shouldn't talk!" Savage!Or how about when Alice gets swept up in that crazy game of caucus race on the Queen of Hearts' croquet field? Using flamingos as mallets and hedgehogs as balls? Absurd! And the Queen is always shouting "Off with their heads!" at everyone. She's bonkers!Speaking of which, my favorite scene may be when the Queen sentences Alice to death and the playing cards start attacking her. It's madness! Just as she's backed into a corner, Alice starts growing bigger and bigger shouting "You're nothing but a pack of cards!" That's when she wakes up and it was all a dream. What a wild ride!I've read Alice's Adventures in Wonderland dozens of times and I never get tired of Lewis Carroll's creative genius. Theimaginative characters, bizarre situations, witty wordplay, it's all so much fun! Whenever I'm feeling down, I can escape to Wonderland where nothing has to make sense. It's a crazy, hilarious world where you can have preposterous adventures. What more could a kid want in a book?I really admire how inventive and clever Lewis Carroll was to dream up such an entertaining story from his playful logic games and love of puns. To have that much whimsy and fantasy in your mind is amazing! I aspire to have an imagination as great as his one day. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland will always be my favorite classic book because it makes me smile from ear to ear every single time I read it. Down the rabbit hole I go!篇5My Favorite Classic BookI love to read books! Reading takes me on amazing adventures to different worlds and times. My all-time favorite book is a classic novel called "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" by Mark Twain. It's about a mischievous boy named Tom who gets into all sorts of trouble and fun in the fictional town of St. Petersburg, Missouri back in the 1800s.The book starts off with Tom playing hooky from school on a warm spring morning. Instead of going to his one-room classroom, he goes swimming and has a run-in with his aunt's stuck-up nephew Sid. Tom lives with his Aunt Polly since his parents passed away. Even though Aunt Polly loves Tom, she has to discipline him a lot for the naughty things he does.My favorite part is when Tom and his friend Huckleberry Finn go to the old graveyard at midnight to try out a spooky superstition. They witness a crime committed by the evil Injun Joe! After that terrifying night, Tom and Huck form a secret explorers club and have all kinds of exciting adventures together.One hilarious scene is the famous whitewashing the fence incident. Aunt Polly punishes Tom by making him whitewash (paint) their tall fence on a blazing summer day. At first Tom thinks this is the worst punishment ever. But then he tricks his friends into paying him and doing most of the work for him by making whitewashing seem fun!Later, Tom and Huck run away together after an unfortuante incident. They journey down the Mississippi River on a raft, having a true young boys' adventure filled with camps on islands, close calls, and discovering hidden treasures. I don't want to give away too much, but some shocking twists happen along the way!What I love most about this book is how it captures the freedom, imagination, and innocent sense of mischief that comes with being a kid. Even though it was written over 140 years ago, the characters and situations are so relatable and real feeling. Tom reminds me a lot of myself - always looking for excitement, getting in trouble, and having whimsical made-up games with friends.Mark Twain's描写are so vivid and funny too. The book is full of humorous scenes like Tom getting caught for sneaking out, scrambling up trees, playing pirates on the river, and that whitewashed fence trick. Twain paints such a vibrant picture of a rowdy all-American small town in the 1800s.Another highlight is how well-developed all the quirky townspeople and Tom's buddies are as characters. You really get to know figures like Tom's brash pal Huck Finn, the obnoxious new kid in school Alfred Temple, the half-crazy "injun" outcast Joe, and Becky Thatcher - the judge's daughter who becomes Tom's admired crush.Overall, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is a beautifully written, wildly entertaining, and symbolic book that everyone should experience, no matter their age. It overflows with excitement, laughter, life-lessons, and nostalgic memories of ayouthful summer of freedom. Plus, its profound insights into human nature like moral courage and facing our deepest fears really stick with you.For me, this novel will forever hold a special place in my heart. It's a timeless story that reminds us all to cherish the priceless innocence and carefree adventures of childhood while we can. Even as an adult, this book allows me to revisit that magical mindset of growing up and seeing the world through the wondrous lens of a mischievous young boy's eyes. That's why it's an absolute classic!篇6My Favorite Classic NovelOne of my all-time favorite books is the novel "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" by Lewis Carroll. It's such an imaginative and whimsical story that takes you on the most fantastical adventure!The book starts when Alice, a young girl, is feeling bored one lazy afternoon. She spots a White Rabbit rushing by, obsessing about being late. This piques her curiosity, and she follows the peculiar Rabbit down a rabbit-hole, tumbling into the magical world of Wonderland.From that moment on, Alice's journey gets weirder and weirder! She encounters the strangest creatures and participates in the most nonsensical events. There's the Caterpillar smoking a hookah who speaks in riddles, the Duchess with her baby that turns into a pig, and the manic Mad Hatter and March Hare having a perpetual tea party. Alice can never predict what crazy thing will happen next!My favorite part is when Alice attends the Queen of Hearts' bizarre croquet game. Instead of balls, they use hedgehogs for the game! And the malicious Queen has a terrible habit of yelling "Off with their heads!" whenever she gets upset, which is quite often. It's all just so delightfully absurd.Throughout Alice's adventures, she experiences constant shifts in size, growing enormously tall or shrinking miniature small after eating or drinking mysterious things. She has to deal with the complex paradoxes and illogical reasoning that characterize Wonderland's ridiculous inhabitants. But Alice handles it all with plucky determination, her curiosity burning bright.In the end, Alice wakes up from what seems to have been an odd dream. But for the reader, you're left wondering if Wonderland was simply a vivid hallucination or a real place thatexists in the wildest realms of imagination. That ambiguity makes you want to revisit Alice's adventures again and again!What I love most about this book is how it celebrates the boundless creativity of childhood. The zany characters and ludicrous situations could only have sprung from the freeform, unrestrained mind of a kid. Lewis Carroll captures the uncanny ability of children to construct elaborate fantasy worlds out of mundane experiences and stray thoughts.At the same time, there are deeper themes and social satire tucked beneath Wonderland's madcap mayhem. Carroll is poking fun at things like the rigidity of upper-class society, the absurdities of formal logic, and the militant enforcement of arbitrary rules and orders. So while it's an entertaining romp on the surface, there are also flashes of insight about the irrationality of the "real" world.For me, reading "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" is a supremely joyful experience that sparks my imagination like few other books can. I find myself grinning and giggling at Carroll's brilliant uses of wordplay, inventive characters, and zany plotlines. It's a classic that will never lose its sense of wonder and delight.When I put the book down, I almost expect to see a White Rabbit scurrying by, or to be offered a cookie inscribed with the words "Eat Me." That's the mark of great fantasy literature - it makes you want to join Alice and immerse yourself in her topsy-turvy reality, at least for a little while. Adventures like hers are what make reading so enchanting for a young mind!。

TIMING IS EVERYTHING: THE WHITE OAKS SANITARY SEWER DIVERSIONAND STORAGE PROJECTJohn Haasen, P.M.P., C.E.T., Earth Tech Canada Inc.*Brian Richert, P.Eng., Earth Tech Canada Inc.Dave Carter, P.Eng., Earth Tech Canada Inc.Karl Grabowski, P.Eng., The Corporation of the City of London, Ontario, Canada*Earth Tech Canada Inc., 285 King Street, Suite 300London, Ontario N6B 3M6ABSTRACTThe City of London experienced significant surface and basement flooding in 2000 resulting in some 800 complaints across the City. The most significant flooding occurred in the White Oaks area of the City. In response, the City established a Task Force and initiated investigative assessments, flow monitoring, modeling, design and construction activities to address. A number of non-structural and structural public and private side alternatives were reviewed and assessed from a cost versus benefit perspective, along with related political or other implementation requirements, to arrive at the most cost-effective and expeditious solutions. Our paper outlines the work completed relative to the White Oaks area of the City, and the solution implemented which consists of sanitary diversion sewers and the provision of storage to prevent basement flooding in the immediate area, and assist in mitigating Sanitary Sewer Overflows (SSO’s) further downstream. The solution was based on stage/storage timing to address the primary project objectives and do so efficiently.KEY WORDSSurface/Basement flooding, Inflow/Infiltration, Sanitary Sewer Overflows, Dynamic hydraulic modeling, Stage/Storage timing, Inlet/Outlet control, Costs/BenefitINTRODUCTIONRainfall events in April, June and September of 2000 representing 1:5 to 1:25 storm events as per Atmospheric Environmental Services (AES) information, resulted in severe surface and basement flooding in various portions of the City of London generating approximately 800 complaints. The most severely impacted areas of the City were the White Oaks and Westminster areas, served by the Dingman Sanitary Pumping Station (PS), and areas downstream in the Berkshire/Gordon area of the City to which the Dingman PS forcemain outlets, prior to reaching the Greenway Pollution Control Plant for treatment. (See Figure 1).In response, a Task Force was struck by London’s City Council to expedite assessment, design and construction activities to mitigate the basement flooding that occurred. The Task Force was comprised of City staff and Council members. Our paper outlines the activities undertaken to address basement flooding in one of the most severely impacted areas.OBJECTIVESThe objectives to be met by the work completed included:1. Identifying and confirming the specific homes and roadways impacted in the White Oaks,Westminster and Berkshire/Gordon areas.2. Identifying the nature of the flooding that occurred (i.e., surface and/or basement related).3. Undertaking field investigations, interviews, dye testing and flow monitoring to confirm theabove, and identify cause and effect.4. Undertaking dynamic hydraulic modeling to confirm the above results, assist in thedevelopment of solutions and quantify their ability to address the flooding that occurred, and to what extent.5. Identify the cost vs. benefit of the solutions identified and determine to what extentprotection could be provided under various storm event conditions.6. Determine the ability of any solution proposed to address this problem with other initiativesin the area. These initiatives included:· Sanitary Sewer Overflows (SSO’s) at the Dingman Sanitary Pumping Station (PS), forcemain capacity and age concerns resulting in the implementation of a proposedSSO/emergency storage facility near the pumping station to allow for the forcemain’sbreak and repair;· Working with stormwater management efforts in the area to reduce surface flooding and/or sanitary surcharge contributions;· Addressing downstream hydrogen sulphide concerns in the outlet sewer for the Dingman PS forcemain; and· Addressing downstream flooding concerns in the Gordon trunk sanitary sewer system.7. Completing Value Engineering to address the above and confirm the specific works to beimplemented to address the primary objective (i.e., basement flooding mitigation), and the secondary objectives outlined herein.8. Implementation of these works in an expedited time frame to provide relief to arearesidents.METHODOLOGYTo address the objectives outlined, work activities were completed involving three different consultants, led by Earth Tech Canada Inc. These activities included:· Hydrogen sulphide investigations with respect to its creation at the Dingman PS, within the forcemain and/or downstream in the Gordon trunk sanitary sewer, related impacts on these components, and the mitigation measures needed to address; and· Planning, design and construction for storage works to reduce SSO’s to the Dingman Creek and provide emergency storage in the event of a break of the single forcemain from the Dingman PS.As these works were completed by other consultants, Earth Tech was retained to initially undertake flooding assessments based on available information in the White Oaks, Westminster, and Berkshire/Gordon areas. Using available flow monitoring, recorded complaint, as-built drawing and modeling information, the general areas of impact were identified, its nature (surface and/or basement flooding) was identified, and a number of structural/non-structural and private/public side remediation measures were identified and assessed from anadvantage/disadvantage perspective. These were screened to those that could be effective subject to further investigation, modeling, planning, assessment and design activities being completed to determine which could best address surface and/or basement flooding in each area. For the second phase of the work, Earth Tech was retained to undertake an extensive flow monitoring program and dynamic hydraulic modeling to assess the White Oaks, Westminster, Dingman PS/forcemain and Gordon trunk sanitary sewer systems. Flow monitoring over a 3 month period (March 25 to June 2, 2001) and a second 2 month period (March 6 to April 15 2002), confirmed the magnitude of the inflow/infiltration that occurs in these areas. A typical hydrograph for the area, generated from the flow monitoring information, is shown by Figure 2.The data was also used to calibrate hydraulic modeling. The XP-SWMM model was used for I/I identification, assessment and solution determination and confirmation purposes. XP-SWMM is a dynamic hydraulic model capable of simulating both dry weather loading andinfiltration/inflow resulting from rainfall events. XP-SWMM was selected for modeling due to its input/output display capability and ease of use for data entry and model output presentation purposes. XP-SWMM is also compatible with the City’s ARCINFO/GIS allowing for a cleaner exchange of information.The XP-SWMM is based on the SWMM model developed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. As such, it was possible to set the model up to use input data from previous modeling performed in the City which was also based on the SWMM model (RT-SWM, developed by Stantec for use in the London Sanitary Sewer Servicing Study in 1996).The RT-SWM model for the White Oak service area was imported into the XP-SWM model. Additional flow monitoring information, overflow location, population data and rainfallparameters were added to the extent possible to the original model when building the XP-SWMM file. Population and land use information was obtained from the City’s ARCINFO/GIS database and was added to each model to the extent available for theoretical flow determination purposes. Model connectivity, calibration and verification was reaffirmed for the White Oak service area, and upgraded to the extent possible.The model was then calibrated for each of the observed rainfall events, and then run for design storms to assess impacts on the trunk sewers where flooding occurred. Emphasis was placed on those areas where extensive flooding was concentrated, but if there was any indication that trunk sewer operations and/or surcharging was impacting isolated areas, these were also identified. The calibrated model successfully predicted flooding in the areas affected, and showed evenmore significant surcharging when assessed for larger design rainfall events. Figure 3 shows the model hydraulic grade line for a design storm in an area where flooding occurred. Existing ConditionsGround SurfaceHGLFlooding AreasB r a d l e y A v e n u eJ a l n a B l v d .S o u t h d a l e R o a dFigure 3: Results of Hydraulic AnalysisThe calibrated model was then used to evaluate various flow reduction, storage, or conveyance improvements to reduce flooding risk. All of this resulted in the identification of a number of strategic solutions, confirmed via a Schedule B Class Environmental Assessment (EA) and public consultation process. This included:· Non-structural alternatives requiring at-source roof leader and/or weeping tile disconnection activities on a lot by lot basis, complete with related costs and benefits being identified; and · Structural works that could bring sewer surcharge levels to sewer obvert level for the most severe storm event for the year 2000 (equivalent to a 1:25 year storm).Figure 4 shows the Non-Structural/Structural alternatives identified, complete with their related costs vs. benefits.Figure 4: Recommended Measures: White Oaks Sub-Sewershed AreaBoth the non-structural and structural alternatives were debated extensively by the Task Force to confirm the political support that non-structural implementation would require. Notwithstanding our recommendation to proceed with non-structural alternatives, the City decided to proceed with structural alternatives in 2 of the 3 areas, with the third area currently under planning consideration.RESULTSIn the Gordon sanitary sewershed area, trunk sewer replacement and specialized hydrogen sulphide mitigation works and features are being implemented to address the generation and servicing problems that resulted in significant litigation and costs to the City. Also in the Gordon area, enlarged trunk sewer works were installed to address basement flooding and mitigate this to sewer obvert levels, while at the same time replacing aging infrastructure in an older portion of the City.Specific to the work completed by Earth Tech, the solution for the White Oaks area involved the implementation of diversion sewers from the eastern and western portions of the White Oaks area (Ernest Avenue and Jalna Boulevard East trunk sewers), converging within White Oaks Park South into a large diameter storage facility. This outlets to the south to the sewer on Jalna Boulevard West that connects both the east and west portions of the White Oaks area together, traveling on to the Dingman PS for conveyance via the forcemain to the Gordon trunk sanitary sewer system (See Figure 5).The proposed solution provided for the reduction of downstream peak sewage flows in those areas flooded, rerouting the peak sewage flows around these areas for eventual reconnection to the sewer system that serves these areas. Timing and the volume of sewage conveyed under various storm event conditions was critical to the performance of the facility. This was confirmed via hydraulic modeling using XP-SWMM.For the purposes of design, a series of events were modeled, including both real storms and design events. The most critical event was the June 11, 2000 storm, which had caused widespread sewer back-ups and basement flooding throughout the area. Storage was optimized through an iterative process, with alternate diversion strategies and release rates from the storage assessed. Initially, the diversion rate for each trunk (Ernest and Jalna East), was set to utilize the existing conveyance capacity of the downstream sewers to the greatest degree possible, without surcharging the sewer. Each diversion rate had a volume of storage and a storage release rate associated with it, which would not surcharge the system downstream of the proposed storage. By iterating the model with trial diversion and release rates, the storage was optimized for the design events considered.In essence, a stage/storage relationship was identified whereby the length of time the sewage traveled via the diversion sewers, within the storage facility and the outlet sewer, returning back to the main sewer, formed the basis of our solution.Rather than utilize a large size single tank in the park area with extensive cleaning and odour mitigation requirements and pumping to outlet, a gravity-based solution was implemented using large diameter trunk sanitary sewers that were twinned to achieve the storage volume required (4300 cu.m.). This was confirmed via a cost vs. benefit assessment as part of the Class EA process.For the dual pipe alternative, interconnecting pipes were added at a number of points to balance flows between the two 340 and 475 m long, 2550 mm diameter trunk sewers designed to achievethe storage volume required as confirmed through hydraulic modeling using XP-SWMM. Since flooding occurred only under extreme storm event conditions (i.e., 1:5 year event and above), the overall storage time under worst case conditions was 2 hours (as confirmed by hydraulic modeling under various storm event conditions), filled by sewage that was expected to be highly diluted.Flow control into the diversion sewers from each of the two main trunk sanitary sewers serving east and west White Oaks (Ernest Avenue and Jalna East), was achieved using inlet weirs and orifices. An orifice in the control chamber was formed by a partially open gate to control downstream sewage flows to a safe level to prevent basement flooding in historic flood prone areas. These orifices allow sewage flows up to a 5 year storm event to pass through the existing sewers, with higher flows overtopping a weir into the diversion sewers. The weir was set low enough to minimize upstream backwater impacts and surcharging of the existing sewers. Orifice dimensions and weir height was again confirmed via hydraulic modeling under various storm event conditions. Figure 6 shows the configuration in place for the Ernest Avenue trunk sewer.Figure 6: Gate and Weir ConfigurationEach inlet configuration was specifically designed for the east and west portions diverted, with the diversion sewers sized to accommodate the volumes to be conveyed and stored (600 mm diameter). In order to minimize maintenance for the diversion facility, the diversions were set so most rainfall events would not divert flows into storage. The head on the orifices in thediversion chambers for moderate storms was calculated, using an orifice equation that considers submergence of the orifice caused by normal flowing depths in the downstream sewers. At the diversion elevation, a long weir was constructed such that additional flows are diverted with little additional head on the orifice (and thus little additional flow to the downstream sewers), and such that the upstream sewers are not surcharged during large events. Figure 7 shows theconfiguration and typical calculations for the diversion chambers. A similar orifice, created via an adjustable gate, is located at the downstream end of the oversized diversion pipes.Figure 7: Gate and Weir Configuration – Diversion CalculationsThe diversion sewers lead to the 2550 mm diameter twinned trunk sewers that act as the storage facility (see Figure 8). These consist of standard circular pipe with gasketed joints specifically tested as part of construction to withstand 50 kpa of pressure. Installation of the work wasexpected to encounter significant groundwater thus joint infiltration had to be kept to an absolute minimum also. A typical gasketed joint system was hydraulically tested at the precast concrete pipe manufacturers plant by installing three pipe sections together in a vertical manner and filling the pipes with water to prove that the proposed gasketed joint could withstand the specified pressure without leaking. In addition, groundwater was expected to be greater than 600 mm above the crown of pipe. As a result, all incoming sewers were plugged and the dewatering system turned off and infiltration testing of the entire 2550 mm diameter storage systemperformed after the storage system was installed, in accordance with Ontario Provincial Standard Specification 410. A video inspection of the entire storage system was also undertaken to ensure that no joint leakage was evident. CLH 1:5Figure 8: Dual pipes heading east to Jalna BoulevardThe potential for the accumulation of sediment and/or debris at the base of the storage sewers required the implementation of odour control measures via vented manhole chimneys with charcoal filter inserts, given the park area, recreational use above and two nearby schools. We expect they will require cleaning every other year. Since the storage will only be used for rare events, the sediment volume is not expected to be significant, and will be washed to the downstream sewers during semi-annual cleaning.Both storage sewers converge to an outlet at the south end of White Oaks Park before moving through a chamber with an orifice leading to a 450/600 mm diameter outlet sewer along the MarrDrain to Jalna Blvd. to the south. See Figure 9.Figure 9: Outlet ConfigurationA valve operated gate was provided to close off the facility completely to assist in reducing SSO’s from the Dingman PS downstream into the creek, and assist in providing storage for a 1 day period to address any emergency repairs required to the Dingman forcemain. Gates in both of the diversion chambers on Ernest Avenue and Jalna Boulevard East can also be sealed off in the event of downstream flooding in the east and west (southern), portions of the White Oaks area.As part of detailed design, the use of conventional circular sewer pipe, and box culverts with specialized joint systems confirmed with a local manufacturer, were both designed and tendered to achieve the best cost/benefit for the City of London. The successful contractor utilized standard circular sewer pipe.The outlet works along the Marr Drain to Jalna Boulevard were completed in the fall of 2002, with the diversion and storage works completed in 2003. All infiltration testing and video inspection of the 2550 mm diameter storage system was completed in November 2003. The entire diversion/storage system has been operational since then. Flows in the diversion manholes on Ernest Avenue and Jalna Boulevard have been visually monitored during dry weather, and after any significant rainfall events since then. Based on this monitoring, the diversion gates on Ernest Avenue and Jalna Boulevard were set at final design elevation in December 2003 to passevents less than a 1:5 year storm, with the facility operating for events above.Heavy rains occurred May 20th to 24th, 2004 equating to a 1:2 year storm event, but because of the long duration and saturation levels, the intensity reached 70% of the amount for the June 11th, 2000 design event. Field measurements confirmed the storage facility was approximately half full as a result, later confirmed via hydraulic modeling. No basement flooding complaints were reported to the City of London as a result for the entire White Oaks area confirming the approach and solution implemented for the project.DISCUSSIONNotwithstanding the extensive flow monitoring and modeling activities undertaken to determine the nature of flooding, cause and effect, our work like many other inflow/infiltration, basement flooding or SSO/CSO assessments, resulted in the identification of both at-source control and end of pipe alternatives. Although comparable costs vs. benefits of implementing non-structural alternatives vs. structural were identified, along with the City’s serious consideration of the political will needed to implement non-structural alternatives, our work resulted in the implementation of end of pipe alternatives that could be seen and optimized to achieve a defined level of benefit, and provide protection to area residents.The use of available storage volume in the facility was optimized significantly by making use of time to our advantage via diversion sewer routing and outletting. This expanded the storage concept from a single point to a conveyance system, where the time for sewage flows to travel through the facility allowed the storage volume required to decrease. The implementation of storage as an element of a conveyance system, as opposed to a simple storage tank, also resulted in reduced cleaning, odour and nuisance requirements in a sensitive residential and heavily-used park area.CONCLUSIONSBased on the success of this project, and its cost effective implementation ($3.5 M to provide 1:25 year protection to sewer systems serving 500+ ha and approximately 27,500 people in the City), the City is moving forward with the implementation of similar assessment confirmation, design and construction activities to address flooding in the Westminster area of the City. The intent is to again address basement flooding in this area, and further reduce SSO potential at the Dingman PS and proposed emergency storage requirements for the Dingman forcemain. Timing will again be utilized to minimize storage requirements, with a conveyance solution likely being implemented to minimize nuisance and odour concerns (subject to a Class EA undertaking and confirmation). A park area will also likely be used for the storage component.The results of this work further emphasizes the need for flexible solutions to flooding mitigation and SSO reduction, that considers the wide range of options available and tailors these to the specific needs of a particular area or given situation. Many tools and a wide array of knowledge is needed to achieve this, and a complete understanding of a given situation to ensure successful implementation and the results expected.ACKNOWLEDGMENTSEarth Tech Canada Inc. would like to acknowledge the funding and leadership for this project provided by the City of London and their Project Manager, Mr. Karl Grabowski, P.Eng.
