大学英语作文 篇1

　　The Toilet Tank

　　Stanley had just finished brushing his teeth. He noticed water flowing into the toilet bowl. That's strange, he thought. The water continued to seep into the bowl. Stanley lifted the toilet tank top. The tank was half full, but the water was slowly rising. What in the world is going on, he wondered. He had not just flushed the toilet. He continued to watch the water rise in the tank. The water got up to the Water Line mark in the tank, where it was supposed to stop rising. But it continued to rise.

　　Stanley was alarmed. Is this thing going to overflow, he wondered. He went into his bedroom and grabbed some towels. When he returned to the bathroom, the toilet was silent. The water had stopped rising at one inch above the water line. But that was only about two inches below the top of the tank. That was too close for comfort. Stanley put two and two together. He had heard water running for more than a week now, but he had assumed it was his neighbor’s toilet. Now he knew it was his own.

　　He called Henry the handyman. Henry was a really nice guy. His rates were much cheaper than a regular plumber’s rates. Henry said he’d be over the next day. The next day, Henry arrived only 30 minutes late, which was “on time” for Henry. He tried to turn off the toilet tank shutoff valve on the bathroom wall, but the valve was “frozen.” “We don’t want to mess with that,” he told Stanley. “That valve is too easy to bust, and it would take a lot of work to put a new one on.”

　　Henry went out to the front of the apartment building and turned off the main water valve. No one was home in the building except Stanley, so Henry didn’t have to warn the neighbors about the shutoff. Back in the bathroom, Henry flushed the toilet. Then he used a couple of rags to dry and clean the bottom of the toilet tank. He unscrewed the plastic Fluidmaster 400A Fill Valve and removed it. He replaced it with a new fill valve. “When the water keeps running, it’s usually your fill valve. It could also be the flapper, but your flapper looks okay. Plus, it’s a weird-looking flapper. I’d probably have to special order it.”

　　Henry tightened the plastic nut below the tank, securing the fill valve. “You mustn't over-tighten this, because it’ll break,” he said. “In the old days, we used rubber gaskets and metal nuts and washers. Nowadays, everything is cheap plastic.” He went back outside, turned on the main valve, and returned. He flushed the toilet, waited for the bowl to refill and for the new fill valve to shut off the water. It shut off exactly at the Water Line mark.

　　“We got lucky,” Henry said. “I don’t have to fiddle around adjusting the fill valve. That’s good, because I’m a little late for another job right now.” Henry flushed the toilet again, and watched the bowl and the tank fill. "That does it," he told Stanley. Stanley thanked him and paid him.

　　Three hours later, Stanley noticed a puddle of water, hardly bigger than a quarter, on the bathroom floor. He called Henry, who said the plastic nut just needed a little tightening. But because he was working all that day on another job, he wouldn’t be able to come over until tomorrow. He told Stanley to put a big plastic bowl under the tank and not to worry. “It’s just a tiny leak. Your bathroom won’t get flooded.”

　　Never too late to learn

　　When hearing the saying “Learning is a daily experience and a lifetime mission.” we can easily perceive its connotation.Apparently, this saying can be naturally associated with the significance of lifelong learning.

　　In our daily life, it is a common phenomenon for us to learn something for a variety of purposes.Meanwhile, a host of intelligent people find it less likely to succeed, if they just study one subject for a limited time.

　　Taking a look around, we can notice a great many examples like this: college students only usually spend two weeks learning all the subjects to pass final exams. They usually learn knowledge in a short time for a practical purpose, while ignoring the essence of learning. However,it is lifelong learning that enables people to accumulate adequate knowledge, skills and experience for their future life.

　　As a matter of fact, wise people in large numbers have come to realize the importance of lifelong learning.As a college student, I am convinced that it is of great necessity for youngsters to cultivate the awareness of lifelong learning.If young people try their best to enhance their various abilities in their whole life, the future of their work and study will be hopeful and promising.

　　活到老，学到老

　　当听到“学习是每日的经历和一生的使命”时，我们很容易理解它的内涵。 显然，这句话可以自然地与终身学习的意义相联系。

　　在我们的日常生活中，为了各种各样的目的学习一些东西是一种常见的现象。与此同时，一群聪明的人发现，如果他们只在有限的时间内学习一门学科，他们就不太可能成功。

　　环顾四周，我们可以注意到很多这样的例子:大学生通常只花两周时间学习所有的科目，通过期末考试。他们通常在短时间内学习知识，以达到实际目的，而忽略学习的本质。然而，终身学习使人们为他们的'未来生活能够积累足够的知识、技能和经验。

　　事实上，聪明的人已经开始认识到终身学习的重要性。 作为一名大学生，我深信青少年培养终身学习的意识是很有必要的。如果年轻人在一生中尽最大努力提高他们的各种能力，他们工作和学习的未来将充满希望、前景广阔。

　　it was a sunny balmy afternoon at the end of a leisurely summer. i was driving on a winding country road with a lady friend. little did i know that i was to have a close call that would have almost ruined the rest of my life.

　　earlier that day, a friend called me to tell me that our mutual friend rosy was arriving back from taiwan after the summer holidays. since there was no airport in the immediate vicinity of the university, she would need a ride to come back on campus.

　　being mildly interested in that girl, i jumped at the chance to play hero. the trip was not particular long or arduous. i was to pick her up from a friend’s home that was a mere 80 miles from campus—a piece of cake, i said to myself.

　　everything went well. the country road was almost deserted. visibility was good and i was not driving very fast. the conversation was lively but not distracting.

　　about half an hour into the drive, i rounded a corner and noticed two small children, aged around 10, waiting to cross the road after getting off their school bus. my mind was not particularly focused on them because i thought they would not cross the road when a truck was coming through on their side. the two kids looked to their left, watching the truck intensely. as soon as the truck passed, and without a thought, they started to dash across the road. i was petrified, to say the least. my heart almost leaped out of my throat. time seemed to have come to a standstill. it was like a nightmare coming into reality. i felt i was in the slow motion crash scene of a movie. i did not even have the time to brake or steer clear.

　　by providence smiled on me that day. the two kids missed my car by less than an inch. imagine what would have happened if i had hit them? they would have been killed instantly. i would have been charged with manslaughter and thrown into jail. my career would be over before it even got started. the kind of inhumane treatment i would receive from fellow inmate, i could only guess but hate to imagine. i will never be a whole person again even if i were to be released early for good behavior. my life would be over. even if i had a good lawyer that could have gotten me off, i would have carried that guilt in my mind for the rest of my life.

　　even today, thirty-si years later, the memory of that day is still fresh on my mind. i have my lucky star to thank for having both parties gotten off unscathed.
