第一篇：高中英语作文素材 孩子能从母亲那儿遗传到什么 What Can the Child Inherit from the Mother

孩子能从母亲那儿遗传到什么? What Can the Child Inherit from the MotherWhat Can the Child Inherit from the Mother ? What we know of prenatal development makes all this attempt made by a mother to mold the character of her unborn child by studying poetry, art, or mathematics during pregnancy seem utterly impossible.How could such extremely complex influences pass from the mother to the child? There is no connection between their nervous systems.Any chemical change in the mother's blood will affect the child for better or worse.But we can't see how a liking for mathematics or poetic genius can be dissolved in blood and produce a similar liking or genius in the child.In our discussion of instincts we saw that there was reason to believe that whatever we inherit must be of some very simple sort rather than any complicated or very definite kind of behavior.It is certain that no one inherits knowledge of mathematics.It may be, however, that children inherit more or less of a rather general ability that we may call intelligence.If very intelligent children become deeply interested in mathematics, they will probably make a success of that study.The same factors, in other circumstance, might be organized about some other center of interest.The rich emotional equipment might find expression in poetry.The capable fingers might develop skill in surgery.It is not the knowledge of music that is inherited, then nor even the love of it, but a certain bodily

structure that makes it comparatively easy to acquire musical knowledge and skill.Whether that ability shall be directed toward music or some other undertaking may be decided entirely by forces in the environment in which a child grows up.

第二篇：高中英语 我的母亲(My Mother)作文素材

我的母亲(My Mother)

When I sat at the desk, trying to write the essay, I found it hard to set pen to paper.Staring at the topic I deliberately chose for myself “my mother”, I felt the memory of 20 years with my mother suddenly turned into a haze, blurring my eyes to discern the past, with nothing towering, nothing flaring, nothing impressive or special enough as a landmark.The haze gradually cleared away, revealing the image of an amicable woman.I recalled a line from the famous movie “Sleepless in Seattle”.The radio column hostess asked Sam, “What‘s so special about your wife?” He answered, “That‘s millions of small things.” Right,trivial and commonplace, like obscure beans, yet woven into the most spectacular necklace by the power of love.My mother is ordinary, but in my eyes she is special.My mother gave birth to me with exceptionally difficult labor.Father received an emergency notice and was faced with a choice between the adult and the infant.Of course,the adult.So my coming into this world was an unexpected fortune at the price of Mother‘s painful insistence.Thus my 20 years began like this my mother exerted every effort to give me love, but I returned her with a deep scar that was to stay with her all through my growth.My mother is a senior high school English teacher.Under standably, she wanted her daughter to pick up English early to give her an edge to later study, which I did not understand at the age of eight.I was so obsessed with fun and games that I hated to stay peacefully with all those strange phonetic symbols and odd words.I wondered what pleasure Mother seemed to have found in teaching me A,B, C.Wasn‘t teaching at school tire some enough for her? I went on strike, refusing to spell a single word no matter how tender or severe Mother tried to be with me.For the first time in my life, Mother beat me, imprinting on my mind.The physical pain was gone long, long ago.But I have finally come to understand how it pained my mother to beat me for my obstinacy and disobedience, and I ache at her pain.Mother never gave up evoking in me an interest in knowledge.She placed the most emphasis on my education and took the most pleasure in my gradual formation of self-discipline in preparing myself for future development.Thanks to her effort and influence, I have been doing well, not only in English, but also in my positive attitudes and conviction towards life.Now I am so grateful to my mother for everything she has taught me, but at that time it was far beyond my comprehension.As a little girl, I thought of my mother as meticulous and my father as a best playmate.I still remember I wrote in my elementary school a composition dedicated to my father about how he cared for me.Naturally Mother felt she was ignored, so I wrote another one for Mother, intending to tell her she was so good a teacher that she sometimes had only students on mind and neglected her daughter.Unexpectedly, Mother was gloomed and her eyes went wet.I am so sorry now for that

affected composition.I am Mother‘s daughter, and I am Mother‘s student.I could never be neglected by Mother, because I am the forever scar on her body, the forever pain on her mind, yet the forever bliss in her life.I did not write much in the past about Mother‘s love for me.Today, this essay is for her, and for her only.I wish to let her know my regret and gratitude.I wish she could hear, “I love you, Mother.”

第四篇：高中英语作文素材 电视是否会影响孩子创造力作文素材

电视是否会影响孩子创造力 Some British families decide not to buy televisions because they influence the development of the creativity of children.What do you think?

As science and technology accelerates, television, as a powerful invention in the 20th century is becoming unbelievably popular in people’s life.People can be acquainted with the current affairs and appreciate the affluent programs right at home.As to my opinion on it, television will not whittle children’s creativity as exaggerated.To begin with, television is the most effective means to inform children of the latest news and scientific improvement all over the world.Television reveals the recent development of some researches, such as the new computing technology, clone technology, genetic breakthroughs and so on, which can inspire the imagination of children and motivate them to conduct relevant experiments, making new findings and breakthroughs in their study.Moreover, some programs like adventures and geography can enlarge children’s capacity of knowledge.With the emergence of information technology, the knowledge presented in textbooks cannot cater for children’s curiosity any more.Children need to learn wider knowledge and know more about our world.Programs like adventures can cultivate children’s creativity and the ability to tackle difficulty;programs like geography can teach children knowledge about different countries in the world and initiate their aspiration to know about the nature;programs about science can inspire children’s interest in science and technology.Admittedly, the inappropriate programs on television somehow play negative role in the shape of children.The films containing violence, crimes and pornography contents tempt children to go astray.
