　引导语：说起睡觉相信大家都很熟悉，那么大家知道睡眠也是有进化的么下面就让我通过一则新概念英语优美短文告诉你关于睡眠的进化。

　Evolution of Sleep

　睡眠的进化

　Sleep is very ancient In the electroencephalographic sense we share it with all the primates and almost all the other mammals and birds: it may extend back as far as the reptiles

　睡眠自古就有。从脑电图上看，我们人类和所有灵长目动物以及几乎所有的哺乳动物和鸟类都一样需要睡眠;甚至爬行类动物也有睡眠。

　There is some evidence that the two types of sleep, dreaming and dreamless, depend on the life-style of the animal, and that predators are statistically much more likely to dream than prey, which are in turn much more likely to experience dreamless sleep In dream sleep, the animal is powerfully immobilized and remarkably unresponsive to external stimuli Dreamless sleep is much shallower, and we have all witnessed cats or dogs cocking their ears to a sound when apparently fast asleep

　有证据显示，有梦睡眠和无梦睡眠这两种类型的睡眠取决于该动物的生活方式。从统计上看，食肉动物比被捕食动物有更多的有梦睡眠，而被捕食动物更多地无梦睡眠。动物在有梦睡眠时，被有效地解除动作能力，并且对外界刺激缺乏反应。无梦睡眠则要浅得多。我们都看到过猫和狗在显然的酣睡中，有一点响动耳朵就会竖起来。

　The fact that deep dream sleep is rare among prey today seems clearly to be a product of natural selection, and it makes sense that today, when sleep is highly evolved, the stupid animals are less frequently immobilized by deep sleep than the smart ones But why should they sleep deeply at all Why should a state of such deep immobilization ever have evolved Perhaps one useful hint about the original function of sleep is to be found in the fact that dolphins and whales and aquatic mammals in general seem to sleep very little There is, by and large, no place to hide in the ocean

　被捕食动物很少有深度的有梦睡眠，这看来显然是自然选择的结果。而且这一点是有道理的：当睡眠高度进化以后，愚笨的动物比聪明的动物更少在深度睡眠状态下丧失动作能力。但是动物为什么要进入深度睡眠呢为什么这样的无动作状态也会进化出来呢海豚、鲸鱼以及水生哺乳动物睡眠都极少，这一事实可以给睡眠的根本功能提供有用的线索。海洋中是没有藏身之处的。

　Could it be that, rather than increasing an animal's vulnerability, the function of sleep is to decrease it Wilse Webb of the University of Florida and Ray Meddis of London University have suggested this to be the case It is conceivable that animals who are too stupid to be quiet on their own initiative are, during periods of high risk, immobilized by the implacable arm of sleep The point seems particularly clear for the young of predatory animals This is an interesting notion and probably at least partly true

　会不会是这样，睡眠不但不增加动物受伤害的'可能性，反而是减少了这种可能性呢佛罗里达大学的Wilse Webb和伦敦大学的Ray Meddis认为情况就是如此。可以想像得出，在危险的时刻，那些由于太愚笨而不能自动保持安静的动物，会不由自主地变得动弹不得。这一点在食肉动物的幼兽身上表现得特别明显。这是一个很有意思的看法，它至少是部分正确的。

　　高一英语是承上启下的教学阶段,阅读课堂的教学质量直接影响着高中英语课堂的水平、学生的语言应用能力和理解能力。分享适合高中的英语短文，希望大家喜欢!

适合高中的英语短文：Identification of goals

Last night, sitting by the window and gazing into the stars, I momentarily went back to my school days I was just thinking why we are made to go to school and college and supposed to plete a particular course in a specific span of time I mean why do I need 12 years of schooling Why is it that everyone follows the unchallengeable cycle of Montessori-school-college-graduation-post graduation-work Then a theory just seeped into my mind, following the electrifying whiz of a busy mosquito that fortably kissed my ears and buzzed away

Starting from school,we learn the alphabets, the words the sentence that follow Sentences lead to lessons, lessons to chapters and chapters to a subject Many subjects form an academic year's curriculum Upon clearing the exams we step onto the next year of educationthough we did follow the entire procedure sub consciously and ceremoniously, we never learnt the moral of the unsaid fact The fact is that school, college and other courses act as tool to achieve our goal and dreamWe might dream of being a doctor, engineer, lawyer but without proper investment of time to gather intellectual content, our dreams are useless

Every action in life is to satisfy a specific purpose Purpose or need initiates planning and action on the part of the doer The person, who wants to acplish a specific goal, first chalks out plan The plan is like an ideal curve By being regular in his duties and responsibilities,he works towards his goal acplishment in short bursts After every burst or period of time,he tries to match his practical curve followed to acplish the goal, with the ideal curve set in the process of planning The closer the ideal and the practical curves are ,the more is the probability of the goal being achieved in the set time

　　In short we identify our goals ourselves,but planning of education system is just done by the education ministry of our are Once we have identified our goals, we pursue specilized coursrs in the direction of our goals This is done in a systematic manner, starting from the basics like schooling to major specialization like engineering But many a times it so happens that we loose track and wander around trying to reach unreachable goals

Only realistic goals are reachable Set achievable goals After goal setting, debug it into all modules, which have to be achieved within certain time frames Once all modules have been pleted, the integration of them all acplishes the set goal!

适合高中的英语短文：munication Skills

munication has been the major ingredient for the up gradation of the apes into human beings Before language and the science of semantics were developed, facial expressions and body movements were the most sought after means for munication Slowly the language started shaping up and now we have countless thousand dialects

Language is a medium that binds all human beings It is the unique form, which has been exploited and used to the maximum by us But somewhere down the line, we used it only for the purpose of munication and not for enriching our knowledge and to increase our market value

You would be thinking what I am getting at In the following few lines, I will clear all the question marks in your head Tell me the number of times you have been engrossed in a talk or lecture given by someone Maybe once or twice or maximum thrice Now the point to ponder is what was the distinguishing feature of that cogent speaker that didn't make your eyelids heavy with sleep He would have had the knack to maneuver all your thinking, listening and visual channels towards him

Closer observation would reveal that change of tone at the appropriate time, fluency in language, and proper translation of thoughts into words make his speech all the more appealing He is able to give you what you want to hear and what he wanted to give the audience in terms of knowledge And when this success ratio is unity, you never skip a word from the speaker munication skills are an important forte and they add a very important dimension to your personality

When you municate clearly and openly, you always make your wants, needs and doubts obvious This clarity is essential to market yourself and synchronizes yourself with other two-legged intellectuals like you You may not be that well qualified, but with good munication skills you can crack your interview and you can sell yourself convincingly You then don't try to fill in a vacancy in a pany but make a place for yourself

Some of the essential tips for munication include:

Be clear, concise and straightforward

Keep your sentences short This will avoid grammatical mistakes

Look into the eyes of the person you are speaking to This gives a glimpse of your sincerity and dedication to the other person

Even if you slip up somewhere, maintain your calm, apologize and continue Don't try to re yze such slip ups, because we wish to promote ourselves and not demote

So from now on municate clearly, properly and openly, as after all the world doesn't know what you need Does it

适合高中的英语短文：Different Strokes of Our Duties

Life teaches us to live To live, you have to exist To exist, you should have a passport to this living world Thanks to your parents, who brought you into this world

Parents have taken care of us and satisfied all our needs They helped whenever we were hungry, afraid or iii They were always there by you, whenever you needed them You almost assyned that they would always be there for you and never thought of how your life would be without them But as you grow up, age also catches up with your parents and they need your help and support

Man is a child first, after which he attains his youth After youth he again goes through the second phase of childhood, also called as old age This is the phase where everyone needs a cornfort of a sense of belonging and being taken care of Wouldn't we all expect the same of security when we grow old Even our parents are expecting us to be their caretaker, as they grow old But they never make that obvious to us They do their further duty by taking care of their grandchildren, paying e-bills, giving the clothes for laundry etc

Isn't it unfair on our part that we aren't giving them what they need the most It is our prime duty to take the very best care of them It's our pay back time Let's give the same sense of emotional security, care and love to our parents in their old age

1。Today i and friends of foreign travel, outside air is very good, people feel very comfortable We all appreciate the fine girls bicycles We enjoyed the beautiful nature brought We happily spent a happy day 今天和朋友一起出外交游，外面的空气很好，人感觉很舒服。我们骑着自行车一路欣赏鸟语花香。享受着大自然带给我们的无限美好。大家开开心心地度过了愉快的一天。

2。Today Mailehaoduo clothes, and parents take to the streets is happy, the parents have to pay to buy things Unlike in their street to buy things they like to take a long time but saw the price, Ha-ha, is really very happy I love my parents, I too thank them for the care and love `` 今天买了好多衣服，和父母上街就是愉快，买东西有父母帮付钱。不像平时自己上街买东西碰到喜欢的但看了价钱都要考虑好久，呵呵，真的是很开心。我爱我的父母，太感谢他们对我的关心和爱戴了。

英国小说家笛福的《鲁滨逊漂流记》描述了主人公漂流海岛,战胜困难,艰苦创业的传奇故事 小说写得真实自然,富有传奇色彩主人公在孤岛上种庄稼,搭木屋,吃了千辛万苦,生存下来但想回人间的心切,使他着迷般地只想到如何走出这个鬼地方,结果还是失败了,最后于1868年回到阔别28年的英国

我们需要具备鲁滨逊那样的刻苦奋斗的精神

The World's Greatest Swordsman

His blade came down in a mighty arc - but the insect continued on its way! The crowd was aghast The greatest swordsman had missed his target completely, yet he continued to smile

"Why are you so happy" someone yelled "You missed!"

"Ah," replied the swordsman, "you weren't watching very carefully They fly lives, yes - but he will never be a father"

他的剑锋以一个巨大的弧线划了下来－－然而那只昆虫还在继续飞行!观众被惊呆了。最伟大的击剑手完全错过了他的目标，然而他还在微笑着。

“你为什么这么高兴？”有人嚷道，“你没击中!”

“啊，”剑手答道，“你刚才没有很仔细地看。苍蝇还活着，是的－－但他永远也做不成爸爸了。”

英语作文范文带中文翻译

Many years ago, the movie about the youth became very popular, every year, we can see many hot movies about the protagonist’s passed youth People like to recall their passed youth, which makes such movies sell good But I find the common things about these movies, all the protagonists’ youth are about fighting, love and other negative things I understand the directors’ intention, they want to tell people youth is not perfect and having pities Of course movie is exaggerating, the real youth is about studying, at least, most people have worked so hard to get into their ideal colleges What the movies describe make up some people’s youth, for which they don’t have the chance to experience We should not be misled by these movies, for the teenagers, their job is to study, so that they can have a bright future

翻译很多年以前，关于青春的**很受欢迎，此后每年，我们都可以看到很多热门**是关于主人公逝去的青春。人们喜欢回忆他们逝去的青春，这才是让这类**好卖的原因。但是我发现了这些**的共同点，那就是所有的主人公的青春都是关于大家，恋爱和其他消极的东西。我明白导演们的意图，他们想要告诉人们青春是不完美的，存在遗憾。当然**是夸张化的，真正的青春是关于学习，至少，大部分人是如此努力的学习，为了进入理想的大学。**所刻画的弥补了一些人的青春，对于他们没有机会去体验这些东西。我们不应该被**误导，对于青少年来说，他们的工作是学习，这样他们才能有一个美好的未来。

我喜欢英语。我觉得我可以和你分享一下我的英语学习方法。首先，培养对英语的兴趣。我的方法是看国外**。一开始，我会留着字幕一起看。之后我就会不看字幕，只留英文。渐渐地，我对英语表现出极大的兴趣。其次，背诵词汇。词汇是学习英语的必要根基。这一点你只能强迫自己去背了。第三，完全理解基本语法。如果我不懂基本语法，我会很难理解一整个句子的意思。最后但并非最不重要的是要多说。学习语言的基本目的就是进行沟通。因此，尽可能多的用英语交谈。不要担心丢脸，因为每个人都会犯错误的。这些就是我的方法。
