染雾大学英语故事作文 篇一：The Lost Wallet
Once upon a time, there was a young man named Tom who was a freshman in college. One day, as he was walking home from class, he noticed a wallet lying on the ground. Tom picked it up and opened it to see if he could find any identification to return it to its rightful owner. Inside the wallet, he found a driver's license, some credit cards, and a significant amount of cash.
Tom felt a dilemma. On one hand, he could keep the money for himself and use it to fulfill his own desires. On the other hand, he knew it was the right thing to do to return the wallet to its owner. After contemplating for a moment, Tom decided to do the right thing and return the wallet.
He searched the wallet for any contact information and found a phone number. He called the number and explained the situation to the owner, a middle-aged man named Mr. Johnson. Mr. Johnson was extremely grateful and relieved to know that his wallet had been found. He arranged to meet Tom at a nearby coffee shop to retrieve his lost belongings.
When they met, Mr. Johnson insisted on rewarding Tom for his honesty. However, Tom politely declined, saying that he was simply doing what he believed was right. Mr. Johnson was impressed by Tom's integrity and offered him a job at his company. Tom gladly accepted the offer and soon became a valuable employee.
This incident taught Tom an important lesson about the power of honesty and integrity. He realized that doing the right thing may not always bring immediate rewards, but it will always lead to long-term success and happiness. From that day forward, Tom made a promise to himself to always prioritize honesty and integrity in every aspect of his life.

The Toilet Tank
Stanley had just finished brushing his teeth. He noticed water flowing into the toilet bowl. Thats 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 mustnt 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.”

The Argument
Lulu didn’t want to go to the play. This Wednesday was going to be very busy. She had realty meetings and clients to drive around. Called “Narnia,” the play was based on the novel by C.S. Lewis. It was a musical. “You know that I don’t like musicals,” she told Walt. “I can never understand what they’re saying when they sing, and the music is not that good, either.” He told her that there were a lot of great musicals, famous just for their music if nothing else. She asked when he was going to take her to one.
Well, he said, someone had told him that this play was the one. She still said that she’d rather not go. He argued that they only went to a play once every two months, so please be ready. He would pick her up the next day at 7 p.m.
Throughout the next day, he thought about the play—maybe Lulu was right. He called up a couple of friends to ask if they had seen the play, but they had not. At about 6 p.m., he had the bright idea to Google the play. Sure enough, he found a site that contained music samples from the play. He sampled about six tunes; they did nothing for him. Lulu was right, he thought, at least about this play. He was going to call Lulu, but just then his sister called him. They talked for at least half an hour.
Walt finally called Lulu at 6:55 p.m. “You were right, honey,” he said. “The music is not very good. So let’s not go to the play, if that’s all right with you.” That was great, she said.
“So, let’s go to a movie,” she suggested.
“A movie? When?”
“Right now!” she said. She was all dressed up, and she was ready to go somewhere! But he wasn’t. He had already decided to stay in. "How about a movie tomorrow?" he asked.
“Tomorrow!?” she yelled over the phone. She was furious. Did he have any idea what a difficult day she had had, trying to finish all her realty work so that she would be ready by 7 p.m.? And then he had the nerve to call her up at 6:55 to tell her to forget it? Forget it?! Had he thought about calling her up earlier? Had he thought about asking her for her opinion before deciding everything on his own? “Of course not!” she said as she answered her own question. This was just one more example, she raged on, of how he had absolutely no respect for her, and she was tired of it. “We’re through!” she shouted just before hanging up.

Thanks to burgeoning technology,the past decades have witnessed the thriving of clone technology.And its application into human has made clone reach an unprecedented peak.This marvel gives rise to much concern among scientific community.However,whether human cloning should be advocated has aroused heat argument.As far as I am concerned,the merits of human cloning outweigh its demerits. On one hand,it’s safe to say that even the best clone technology has the possibility of failure,and this truth is also publicly known by scientific researchers.Therefore,human cloning is the indulgence of this possibility.Once it fails,it will do harm to cloned men.From animal cloning experiments,the survival rate of the cloned species is very low.Unfortunately,these cloned species that have survived often have more or less some physical problems.Nowadays,many researchers have begun to clone a human being,which leads to the birth of disabled infants because of the failure of human cloning experiments.These crude phenomena leave us with a chill.They are the evidence of the crime resulting from human cloning and the trample on human life.In order to succeed,those crazy scientists cruelly kill the lives of many cloned men,which is no doubt crimes rather than researches.Do any rational persons will support a research at the cost of killing people?What is worse,result of this research will bring people with terrible disasters.This research is a kind of technological progress that will make man liable to extinction. On the other hand,even if the cloning human experiments will succeed,it will also make chaos on civil legal relationship.It’s clear that cloned men have no guardians.As is known to all,nature persons all have guardians.Who are the parents of the cloned men?In fact,cloned men can’t find their parents no matter through which experiment.They are only research results of researchers.It would be irresponsible to clone a human being,for they will become orphans thoroughly after they are born.On that circumstance,will those crazy scientists undertake the responsibility of fostering these cloned men?Perhaps no one will believe.It’s incredible to imagine that one will live a happy life that has both physical problems and lower social standing.Who will be willing to educate them?Cloned men are just victims and experimental games. Technology is a double-edged sword.Used properly,it will be advantageous to the whole society.Used improperly,it will have great negative effects.On balance I hold on the stance that the scourge of human cloning is tremendous.To sum up,this technology should be restricted and the government should take effective measures to do with it.
