With the improvement of our living standard， more and more people canafford a car。 As a result， our roads are more often than not crammed with cars。However， with more and more waste gas being discharged by the cars， the problemof air pollution bees even more serious。 So nowadays we advocate to lead alow-carbon life。
My suggestion is we should ride bikes more often instead of driving cars。Byriding a bike， we can not only exercise our body but also protect ourenvironment。 Why not have a try， my dear friends?
与我们的生活水平的提高，越来越多的人都买得起汽车的。因此，道路往往没有堆满了汽车。然而，随着越来越多的废气排放是汽车、空气污染问题变得更加严重。所以此刻我们提倡过低碳的生活。
我的推荐是我们就应更经常骑自行车而不是开车骑一辆自行车，我们不仅仅能锻炼身体，也能保护我们的环境。为什么不试试，我亲爱的朋友?
I have a few candles stored in a drawer in my dining ’re meantfor romantic dinners and special occasions, but since the arrival of our threechildren they have lain unnoticed among the napkins and other arewaiting to be taken out and lit to share their glow with anyone who will takethe time to bask in their brilliance.
Are not our souls like those candles, patiently waiting for someone to comeand let us be ourselves? We are all waiting for our own moments to shine; weeach have a special light, unmatched by any other.
Candles are made up of wax and a wick; we have bodies, but our essence liesin our minds and les are unique in their colors, shapes and life histories and experiences are the backdrops of who we are, but ourminds are like candle wicks, and make our passions ke the candles inmy drawer, who get used or not used depending on my whims, we control our ownthoughts, and how brightly we will burn or dimly we will shine.
Is your soul candle dimmed by circumstance or lack of passion anddirection? Is it hidden in a drawer of stress, worry or resentment? Make achoice to let yourself shine the way you were meant to shine.
Dear classmates,
Every one of us, rich or poor, should at least have one or two good friends. My friends will listen to me when I want to speak, will wipe my eyes when I cry, will take care of me when I am sick, and my friends will go together with me side by side through this journey of life.
As students, we could share more time with our friends. The friendship in our young hearts is pure, fresh and simple. I often feel very lucky to have a lot of good friends. Especially when I had Justin as one of my best friends. Justin was my English teacher from the USA. I met him in 1996 when I was a student who could only speak very little English. Justin was a vivid young man with a bright smile on his face, and he always had his special way to make the class active and attractive. He taught us English by telling stories, playing games, singing songs, and even dancing. I could still remember very clearly that one afternoon when we fin-ished our class, we went to some other classes to sing songs for them, just like what people do in the states on Christmas Eve. It was so interesting and unforgettable. Justin was an excellent teacher, because he taught us not only how to study English well, but also the way to find out the beauty of the world and the way to be angels to others' lives. I know there was friendship and pure love in our hearts. Facing this valuable emotion neither nationality nor age was important, the real importance lay in faith, under-standing, and care. Justin is the best friend I have ever had, and I know I will cherish those days of staying together with him as the best part of my memory.
Friendship is a kind of treasure in our lives. It is actually like a bottle of wine, the longer it is kept, the sweeter it will be. It is also like a cup of tea. When we are thirsty, it will be our best choice, but when we have enough time to enjoy ourselves, it is also the most fragrant drink.
However, in this fast-developing modern society, the reality is not that. More and more people forget to enjoy the beauty of life and -the beauty of friendship. They work hard in order to gain a higher position, in the society and to earn more money for their work. Of course, we don't deny that it is important to find a bet-ter place in our lives, but we wish more and more people could pay a little more attention to themselves and their friends. All of us have to spare some time for personal lives. We have to find the chance to express our emotion and love. When staying with our friends, we can release ourselves completely. We can do whatever we want, we can laugh together, talk together, and even cry to-gether. I should say that being together with our best friends is the most wonderful moment of our lives.
As we know, we would feel lonely if we didn't even have a friend. But it doesn't mean we could depend on our friends all the time. There is a famous motto saying that “A friend is like a quilt with cotton wadding, but the real thing that keeps you warm is your own temperature.” It is really true. We have to work hard together with our friends, encourage each other and help each other. When we receive love and friendship, we should repay as much as we can.
Finally, let's pray together now that one day, all of us could find the person we want to find, and could enjoy a real beautiful friendship in our lives. Let's pray the flower of friendship be-tween our friends and us would always bloom brightly in our hearts.

译文：改变生活的味道
这是一杯白开水，平淡无味，对吧?可是加上点糖呢，他尝起来会有甜味;如果加的是苏打水，味道就会变苦。人生同样如此——个中滋味在于我们的选择。
善待他人，你会拥有朋友;但如果充满恶意，则会多个敌人。将爱赋予一堆红砖，你会拥有一个家;用仇恨来浇铸这堆红砖，就会铸成一座集中营。
因此亲爱的朋友们，不要抱怨人生乏味，世间无望。不喜欢生活的味道，那就换一换生活的调料吧!
三年前，我重达100多公斤，这给我带来了很多尴尬和挫折：体育课老是不及格，总被女孩们嘲笑，更不敢当众发表意见。幸而由于祖母的鼓励，我不在消极人生，而是充满自信。她曾经说过：“孩子，如果体形无法改变，为什么不把它看做自己独特的风格呢?”我开始这样来审视人生，通过改变生活的视角，我信心大增地去改变我的人生，很快就发现一个崭新的世界。
朋友们，将信念，希望，爱意和忍性溶入生命，你就会找到自信，克服缺点，迎接人生新的挑战。最后我的演讲包括在内，希望你会看到一场精彩的演讲比赛。

If you're middle-aged and your memory's not what it used to be, check thebathroom scale, researchers warned, suggesting overweight people tend to scoremore poorly on tests of memory than their thinner peers do.
The findings suggest that a heavier weight in middle age may mean a higherrisk of dementia later in life.
Reporting in the journal Neurology, the researchers speculated that higherrates of cardiovascular disease or diabetes might help explain the link. Butit's also possible that substances produced by fat cells, such as the hormoneleptin, have direct effects on the brain.
The study compared mental abilities to body mass index (BMI), a
measurement of weight in relation to height used to define overweight andobesity. A BMI of 25 or more indicates overweight, and 30 or more is obese.
The study also investigated the relationships between BMI and cognitivefunction in 2,223 healthy men and women between the ages of 32 and 62 in Francethrough the use of four cognitive tests.
The study found a higher BMI was associated with lower cognitive test scores.Results from a test involving word memory recall show people with a BMI of 20remembered an average of nine out of 16 words, while people with a BMI of 30remembered an average of seven out of 16 words.
Alibaba Group founder Ma Yun said: "if you do not take action, don't give your dreams a chance to practice, you will never have a chance." Friends, light innovation passion and dreams, just to let you see the door to success, only you have the courage to pay hard, for the dream of unremitting efforts, it can be stepped into the threshold of success. Ma Yun's success is a good illustration of this point. In 1995, Ma decided to resign from the university teaching work, the formation of the Internet Chinese. At that time, the Internet for the United States and other developed countries is just beginning, even even bill gates are opposed to the Internet, in China, not to mention the, the vast majority of people don't know what it is. So, when he called twenty-four friends to vote on the matter, there are twenty-three people opposed that the Internet simply can not achieve this thing. He finds the Internet will change the human life, believe that their ideal will be realized, resolutely embarked on the path of entrepreneurship. But no money, no difficulties as can be imagined, even human, he was mocked as a liar.
I believe many friends present here today have seen the program "Yu Dan Zhuangzi experience", which has a story that I am inspired by, say, Keiko ah, one day to see Zhuang Zi, saying my house has a large gourd, there are five stone. If you put it into two halves, when to scoop water, the gourd skin is too thin, it is broken up in one fell swoop. It doesn't have anything to do with it. It's a big thing. Chuang-tzu said to him, how do you think it must split when the scoop? If it is a complete big gourd, why don't you put it on his waist line, as swimming ring with it? You can go swimming in the river, with a large gourd free to drift this! A story inspires us, in real life, the state determines the judgment of things, it can completely change the fate of a person, we should stand in a large state, know how to change an angle to think, think about whether we can change the way the way of getting along with people, think about whether our method of work can be improved. We think the skills would further improve. Friends, a person to be successful, first of all to have a sense of innovation, as long as you have the dream of innovation and passion, the success of the door is always open for you, life will be more wonderful!
The Asian Wall Street Journal Editor in chief, has described Ma entrepreneurs in their early work environment, "day and night work, to have a sleeping bag, who tired drill into sleep for a while." However, advocating martial spirit of Ma with extraordinary courage and perseverance, with his sword through the clutter and opened a through the broad road to the top of the success and ultimately swordsman, become a "peerless master", and describe the business of a myth! Everyone want to make your life more exciting, often troubled and confused, but as long as have the passion and dreams, persistent innovation, a door for you open - that is, the door to success!
Finally gave everyone a poetic couplet: innovation, career, do not cause; innovation, defeat, also defeated the unbeaten. Hengpi: innovation decides success or failure!
阿里巴巴集团的创始人马云说过这样一句话：“如果不去采取行动，不给自己的梦想一个实践的机会，你永远没有机会。”朋友们，光有创新的激情和梦想，只是让你看到了成功的大门，只有你拿出勇气、付出艰辛，为梦想坚持不懈的努力，那才能跨进成功的门槛。马云的成功很好的说明了这一点。1995年，马云决定辞去大学教书的工作，组建中国的互联网。在当时，互联网对于美国等发达国家来说也是刚刚起步，甚至连比尔盖茨都反对互联网，在中国更不用说了，绝大多数的人根本不知道它是个什么东西。所以，当他召集了二十四个朋友就此事进行表决的时候，有二十三个人反对，认为互联网这东西根本实现不了。他却认定互联网将改变人类生活的方方面面，坚信自己的理想一定能够实现，毅然决然的走上了创业之路。但困难可想而知，没有资金，没有人力，他甚至被人讥笑为骗子。
我相信在座的很多朋友都看过 “于丹《庄子》心得”这个节目，其中有个故事让我很受启发，说的是，惠子啊，有一天去见庄子，说我家有一个大葫芦，有五石之大。要是把它一劈两半，当瓢去盛水的话，这个葫芦皮太薄，往上一举它就碎了。反正用它盛什么东西都不行，这葫芦大得没什么用处。庄子告诉他说，你怎么就认为它非要劈开当瓢使呢?如果它是一个完整的大葫芦，你为什么不把它系在腰间，用它当做游泳圈呢?你可以去浮游于江海啊，带着一个大葫芦自由自在的去漂泊!这个故事启发我们，在现实生活中，境界的大小决定了对事物的判断，也可以完全改变一个人的命运，我们要站在大境界上，懂得换一个角度去思考问题，想想我们待人接物的方式是否可以改变，想想我们的工作方法是否能够改进，想想我们所掌握的技能是否还可能再提高。朋友们，一个人要想成功，首先要有创新的意识，只要你拥有创新的梦想和激情，成功之门就始终为你敞开着，生命一定会更加精彩!
《亚洲华尔街日报》总编曾这样描述马云他们创业初期的工作环境，“没日没夜地工作，地上有一个睡袋，谁累了就钻进去睡一会儿。”但是，崇尚武侠精神的马云具有非凡的勇气和毅力，用他手中的利剑披荆斩棘，开辟出了一条通过成功之巅的康庄大道，最终笑傲江湖，成为一位“绝世高手”，抒写了商界的一段神话!每个人都想让自己的生命更加精彩，却常常陷入困境和迷茫，但只要拥有激情和梦想，坚持不懈的创新，总有一扇门为你打开着——那就是成功之门!
最后送给大家一副对联：有创新，事业成，不成也成;没创新，事业败，不败也败。横批：创新决定成败!
Money is indeed important, but money cannot buy everything. A miser maythink that “money talks,” but if you only give your attention to making money,you may lose many things, such as health, friendship and love. I don't think weshould regard money as everything. Money is just a tool that can help us solveproblems or enable us to live a comfortable life. What we should do is to use itappropriately and not become misers. This way, all of us can lead a happierlives.
钱确实是很重要的，但钱买不到所有的东西。守财奴可能认为“金钱万能”，但是如果你只将注意力放在挣钱上，你将失去很多东西，例如，健康，友谊和爱。我认为我们不应该将金钱看作一切。钱仅仅是一个可以帮助我们解决问题和过更舒适的生活的工具。我们应该做的是如何正确的使用金钱，不要变成守财奴。这样，我们才能过上幸福的生活。
Dear teachers, dear students:
hello everyone!
The topic of my speech is "the hardness of life"
The vast desert, a tree stand, the show is a monument to the image.
Towering mountains, thousands of tree stand up, as is a magnificent the Great Wall.
The long river, all the trees stood up into a dragon of glory.
We are a symbol of too much, and too much. But I believe that my image is not "the gentlest hands, skin, such as Diorskin" Lin Daiyu, nor is the modern "unkempt and shabby", "Su Qier". We are a symbol of hope and vitality. So we show in front of others should be inserted without pleats, face without scale, modest and polite gestures exudes a stream of heroic spirit, the image of the vigor and vitality of the modern new youth, a into the embodiment of the spirit of nature.
Someone once said, life is a kind of hardness, integrity and dignity of life is propped up the hardness of bone. "Better life" and "the Kui back in the day, and not ashamed on the ground", which is always the traditional virtue of the China. Li Bai's "the eyebrow nengcui Zheyaoshan powerful thing, so that I may not be happy Yan" this awe inspiring atmosphere of the verse and whether it will make those no self-esteem people to shame? Loss of self-esteem is a worthless person, and we as the vanguard of the times, if drown in the darkness forever, or to do a dauntless hero, a flower in the wind and rain sonorous rose. The answer is self-evident.
Desert desolate also has the monument stands, Castle Peak again proud, but also have the great wall around, the river again quiet, also there is a dragon in the recumbent. But the time can be changed, our image, our glory remains the same. Because we pride, because we are confident, because we have a fresh life. And because of this, it is a vast desert riparian long, Qingshan was evergreen, the hardness of life is forever.
尊敬的各位老师，亲爱的同学们：
大家好!
我演讲的题目是《生命的硬度》
茫茫大漠，一棵树站不起来，展现出来的是一座丰碑的形象。
巍巍青山，千万棵树站起来，连成的是一条长城的宏伟。
悠悠河岸，所有的树站起来，缀成的是一条蛟龙的雄风。
我们象征着太多，又演绎着太多。但我相信，我的形象，绝不是“手若柔荑，肤如凝脂”的林黛玉，也绝不是“蓬头垢面、衣衫褴褛”的现代“苏乞儿”。我们象征着希望、朝气。所以我们展现在别人面前的就应该是衣无褶、脸无垢、礼貌谦和的举手投足间散发着一股英气，朝气和活力的现代新青年的形象，一个融入了大自然的精灵的化身。
有人曾说，生命有一种硬度，气节和尊严是撑起生命硬度的骨骼。“宁为玉碎，不为瓦全”、“仰不愧于天，俯不怍于地”，这是历来中国的传统美德。李白的“安能摧眉折腰事权贵，使我不得开心颜”这一大气凛然的诗句又是否会让那些毫无自尊的人汗颜?丧失了自尊的人是一个没出息的人，而我们作为时代的先锋，要是永远在黑暗中沉溺呢，还是要做一个顶天立地的好男儿，一朵绽放在风雨中的铿锵玫瑰。答案，不言而喻。
大漠再荒凉也有丰碑的矗立，青山再孤高，也有长城的环绕，河水再平静，也有蛟龙的横卧。而时代再怎么变，我们的形象，我们的雄风依然如故。因为我们自尊，因为我们自信，因为我们有着鲜活的生命。而正因如此，河岸才悠悠，大漠才广袤，青山才长青，生命的硬度才长存。
hello everyone!
This year's November 9 is fire awareness day. The theme of this activity is "enhancing the fire safety responsibility and fire safety awareness of the whole people". When it comes to fire fighting, students will naturally think of the creepy word "fire". For the primary school students in our campus, how to escape and save themselves in case of fire? To solve this problem, fire experts introduced the ten methods of escape and self rescue in case of fire in public gathering places.
Please listen carefully:
First, we should understand and be familiar with the environment. When you walk into shopping malls, hotels, restaurants, song and dance halls and other public places, you should pay attention to the location of emergency exits, emergency exits and fire extinguishers, so as to evacuate and extinguish fire in time in case of accidents. Second, evacuate quickly. Once you hear the fire alarm or realize that you are surrounded by fire, you should immediately try to evacuate.
Third, protect the respiratory system. Towel or napkin cloth, mask, clothes, etc. can be used to cover the mouth and nose tightly during escape, otherwise there will be the risk of poisoning and suffocation of respiratory system soft tissue burned by hot air. Fourth, evacuate from the passageway. Such as evacuation stairs, fire elevators, outdoor evacuation stairs, etc. Windows, balconies, roofs, lightning wires, downpipes, etc. can also be considered for escape.
Fifth, use ropes to slide. Use a strong rope or tear the curtains, sheets and bedding into strips, screw them into ropes, wet them with water, and tie them to the firm heating pipes, window frames and bedsteads. The trapped people slide one by one along the rope to the next floor or ground.
The sixth floor is the low floor jump off, which is applicable to the second floor. Before jumping, throw some soft items such as quilts, pillows, mattresses and coats to the ground for "soft landing", and then hold the window with your hands, droop and slide naturally, so as to shorten the jumping height.
Seventh, we should use equipment. Commonly used are descent device, life bag, net, air cushion, soft ladder, slide rod, slide platform, guide rope, life-saving gangway, etc.
8. Temporary asylum. When there is no way to escape, the toilet can be used to temporarily make it difficult. When taking refuge, spray the fire doors and windows with water to wet all combustibles in the room and prolong the time. During the period of temporary asylum, take the initiative to contact the outside world in order to be rescued as soon as possible.
9. Using signs to guide people out of danger. Signs such as "emergency exit", "emergency exit", "safety passage", "fire alarm telephone" and brief escape direction are set on the walls, ceilings, doors and corners of public places. The trapped people can escape in order according to the direction indicated by the signs, which can solve the "urgent need".
10. we should promote self-interest. We should resolutely stop the behavior of disregarding the life and death of others and the phenomenon of front hugging and back crowding. Only orderly and rapid evacuation can minimize casualties.
There are still a lot of common sense about fire safety. Please log in to "China fire protection network" and other relevant websites at home or with the permission of your computer teacher this week to learn more about fire safety.
Thank you!
Everybody is good! The topic of my speech today is: the protection of the ecological environment, away from thehaze weather! We have found that the bar, a few years this fall and winter seasons, we in Zhengzhou have occurred haze weather. This year's, have big scope, pollution is serious, long duration, is rare in recent years.
"Scratchy throat, sore eyes, ear pain, headache......" Many people appear, "haze symptoms". Many of ourstudents wear thick gauze masks, or will face with a scarf wrapped around our school class-break setting-up exercise, even stopped, "worry about air toxic!" respiratory disease at. Air pollution, everyone is a victim, yet most people also bear the responsibility of more or less.
The haze weather is a serious air pollution incidents, a large quantity of pollutant discharge is the root cause.

good afternoon:
honorable judges,dear teachers and close friends.i’m very glad to stand here to share my speech with you.today i’m going to talk about dreams.
everyone has a dream.
my great pleasure to share my dream with you today.i have kept the dream in my mind for so long that whoever in the sun is able to live a happy life for ever.
martin luther king had a dream-and we can all recall his civil rights speech.phil knight had a dream-and now the whole world knows his nike slogan“just do it”!
i also have a dream,but not only a simple one.
Traditional Chinese culture is beginning to capture the attention of the world.
This is true even as popular culture that has traditionally been considered Western begins to spread throughout China.
Kung Fu, especially, has had a great impact on the millions of people who first learned about China through it.
From that, they may come to China and learn about other aspects of this culture, such as traditional operas like the Beijing and Sichuan ones.
Asian nations have long known about the greatneof ancient Chinese culture.
Their own cultures are a mix of native ones and those Chinese characteristics.
Korea and Japan long ago adopted ideas such as Confucianism is something that continues today even as it is challenged by Pop Culture.
This strength comes from the ideas given in the Four Books of Confucianism (The Great Learning, The Doctrine of the Mean, The Analects of Confucius, and The Book of Mencius).
These books built upon the ideas of an even more ancient period codified in the Five Classics.
From them, the West learns such things as Fengshui and other concepts that are uniquely Chinese.
China has taken steps to further this spread of its culture by establishing Chinese Cultural Centers in such places as the United States and Europe
Enjoy yourself while fulfilling responsibility in my 18 years of life, there have been many things. university days are the best part of them. i can never forget the days when i stepped into my university. i was impressed by its garden-like campus, its enthusiastic students and especially its learning atmosphere. i at once fell in love with it.
After the arduous military training, i get absolutely absorbed in my studies. the classes given by the teachers are excellent. hey provide us with information not only from our textbooks but from many other sources as well. they easily arouse my insatiable desire to take in as much as i can.
Frankly speaking, at first i had some difficulty following the teachers. however, through my own efforts and thanks to my teachers' guidance, i made remarkable progress. now i've benefited a lot from lectures and many other academic reports.
Learning is a long process; i'll keep exploring in the treasure house of knowledge to enrich myself. this summer i got out of the ivory tower and entered the real world. a publishing house offered me a part-time job in compilation and revision.
At the beginning i was belittled by my colleagues. but they were really surprised when i translated seven english articles over 5,000 words on only one day. gradually, they began to look at me with respectful eyes. in their opinion i turned out to be a useful and trustworthy colleague.
I also realize that only those who bring happiness for others can be truly happy. so i often take part in activities concerning public welfare. i once went to a barren mountain village with my classmates. we taught the kids there who could not afford school. while showing them how broad and how civilized the outer world is, i was deeply touched by their eagerness to learn, their honesty and their purity. i couldn't control my tears on the day when we left. the precious experience with the poor kids made me aware of the responsibility on the shoulders of us, future teachers.
Besides study and social practice, there are entertainments as well. i do body building every day, hoping to keep healthy and energetic. we also write a play and put it on in our spare time.
Campus life is the most splendid time. but different people have different choices. the majority of students cherish their beautiful season and cherish the hope that one day they'll become outstanding. but there are indeed some students still under ignorance. they gather together for eating, drinking or playing cards. they're busy in searching for a girlfriend or a boyfriend. they forget completely about their mission as college students and the hope of their motherland.
Finally, i do hope everybody can try their best to become a worthy citizen of the country. i do hope everybody can become the backbone of our nation and make great contributions to society!
Sino-Japan problem is always a sensitive topic, a fuse which can trigger a serial of explosion. Some so-called patriots argue that buying domestic products is patriotism and proclaim that in particular all the Chinese should reject goods marked “made in Japan”.
Those who are more extreme may smash or plunder a shop which sells Japan products or burn any Japanese car in the street no matter who owns it.
Then, how about launch a war against Japan so that we can destroy that malicious disgusting nation which had invaded our mother land then unscrupulous deny the history written in black and white?
What if a person, on one hand is a patriot from tip to toe and willing to sacrifice his life to his country if Japan dare to wage a war against China(if possible) while one the other hand he is a Japanese culture vulture?
What if the shop the mob smashed is owned by a hard working Chinese businessman? Had they committed a crime? Are the masses just venting their discontentment which accumulates day by day because of the appalling unfairness in the reality?
Is it true we just take Japan or international trade as an outlet?
Patriotism is not nationalistic fever, not intense ethnic emotion. We need to calm down and differentiate ethnical frenzy and moderate sober patriotism.
In addition, there is always danger to ignore the real problematic issue such as political corruption, academic plagiarism, educational unfairness, and social classes polarizing which are screaming for our attention and should be our priority.
What has been called for in the loudest voice is usually the most lacking one. Ramble roars in the movie “First Blood”-I have done everything for my country, what has my country done for me?! Nowadays, we badly need a rewritten version of Kennedy’s famous saying “ask not only what you can do for your country but also what your country can do for you.”
A Young Idler,An Old Beggar
Almost everyone knows the famous Chinese saying：A young idler，an old beggar. Throughout history，we have seen many cases in which this saying has again and again proved to be true.
It goes without saying that the youth is the best time of life，during which one's mental and physical states are at their peaks. It takes relatively less time and pains to learn or accept new things in a world full of changes and rapid developments. In addition，one is less likely to be under great pressure from career，family and health problems when young. Therefore，a fresh mind plus enormous energy will ensure success in different aspects of life.
Of course，we all know：no pains，no gains. If we don't make every effort to make good use of the advantages youth brings us，it is impossible to achieve any goals. As students，we should now try our best to learn all the subjects well so that we can be well prepared for the challenges that we will face in the future.

My mother has very long hair, and wears a pair of small glasses, neverloves wearing fashionable clothes, but loves reading modern books. She isknowledgable and loves writing.
I think her working is often exactly alike my father--investment, tireless,efficient,and pursuit of perfection.
She loves to be angry and excited very much; be silence and talkative aswell. In short, there have "four seasons" of different moods in a day.
My mother always loves to say “case by case”. Whatever I do, rightness orwrong, she loves me. That's true, such as when I examined well, she neverpraised, but let me try hard again; when not well, she was not angry (sometimesexceptions, but very few), but let me do better!
I have such a good mother, I’m very happy! May mother happy every day!Maymother young forever! Thank you!
我的妈妈长着长长的头发，戴着一副小眼镜，从不爱穿时髦的衣服，但爱看时髦的书。知识丰富，喜爱写作。
我觉得她做事、干活都和爸爸一模一样——投入、不知疲倦、高效、追求完美。
她很爱生气，又很爱兴奋;既爱沉默，又很健谈。总之，一天就有情绪“四季”。
我妈妈总是爱说“就事论事”，不管我做得对与错，她都爱我。的确这样，比如我考试好了，她不表扬，却让我再努力;考不好，她也不生气(有时例外，但很少)，而是帮助我做得更好!
我有这样一个好妈妈，可真幸福啊!祝妈妈天天开心，永远年轻!
谢谢大家!
The electric door guard has replaced the traditional "door lady" in a dormitory at Shanghai Songjiang University City, within the range of many universities.
In the future, more electric door guards will take the place of "door ladies."
The electric door guard operates under an IC card system, with students using IC cards to enter. Each resident student is issued an IC card with his/her personal information stored on it. Information like the card-holding student's name, major, grade, and even time of entry will be stored on their IC card. The door has also been equipped with a "digital eye" to take video 24 hours a day 7 days a week.
With the new "door guard" already on duty, students began to discuss the pros and cons of the latest renovation to their dorm in community forums.
Some complained that having to take their IC card everywhere is inconvenient, adding that the system is not always reliable. They noted times when the system failed to recognize them and they had to call repair workers to fix it.
Others say the former "door lady" was more flexible and gave them a sense of "home." Sometimes when a student had to stay out late, to study or for other business, the door lady would wait for them and let them in if they told her beforehand. Or when students' parents came to visit, the door lady would let them in. But now, all of these conveniences seem impossible.
Still, students admit that the electric door guard is much safer, as it prevents thieves as well as unwelcome salesmen from entering their dorm. In this way, the electric door guard has its own advantages.
The school's authorities say the new system needs some time to improve and that students need time to get used to it. The school has said it will consider the inconveniences brought along with the new door guard and attempt to solve them by other means. On the whole, the new system seems to be good for students living in the dorm building.

It is 20 years since the City of Taizhou was set up. Our city has become richer and people feel happier. Recently, all of us are talking about how to be civilized students in our .school.
In my opinion, we should be polite to our parents and help them do more housework at home. At school, we should respect our teachers, get on well with our classmates and study hard. We should also obey traffic rules. When the traffic lights are red, we should stop. When we wait for a bus, we should wait in line. Don't throw litter or spit in public. And we'd better not talk or laugh loudly. We should never say dirty words. Be friendly to others and always ready to help the people in need.
If everyone behaves well, our city will be more beautiful and more attractive.
Let's join together to be civilized students!
Everyone has their own dreams, I have a dream that many, many, for example, grew up to be an inventor, a lawyer, to be a artist, to be a doctor... . My biggest dream is to become an inventor, because the inventor can for mankind a lot of new products. If I am the inventor, I have invented a magic pen, it can according to your need to change color, or in a timely manner when you write a typo prompt you to correct, or when you are drawing can draw what we desire. I want to invent a robot trash can, if people littering, it will prompt you don't throw garbage in disorder, so, our city will become clean and tidy. I will invent a time door, let the children back to ancient times, to see the dinosaurs, uncover the extinction of dinosaurs. I will invent a brooch, when you put it in your chest, can think what you can do, such as you want on the stage, show elegant appearance, can become artists; Do you want to heal sickness, for people can become angels; You want to help people engage in a lawsuit.
A we know, mot of the thing in our life have to be bought with money. But money i not the only in the world. Money can not buy many thing uch a time and true love.

Everyone has a lot of friends and he must have his own friendship as well.But usually only when you get into trouble, will you know what the truefriendship is. The friend in need is the friend in deed. Only the real friendswill help you when you are in trouble. If you establish your friendship when youare in trouble, make it go on forever.
Maybe a boy and a girl become good friends. They feel very happy when theyare each other, but other students may think that they have fallen in love. Ifyou were one of them, what would you do? If I were in that position, I would notcare about what anyone else may say. I only care about her feeling. We shouldknow that our friendship is pure without anything bad mixed. Friendship is veryimportant for everyone, so I will let my friendship last forever.
Everyone should know that he can not lose his opposite sex friends. If you donot make friends with your opposite sex classmates, then you have already losthalf of the friends. So you can make friends with all your classmates, and don'tbe shy. You should also pay enough attention to the friendship that you havealready established. Don’t undermine it unless you want to hurt him. You shouldnever try to do so, for if you do that you will lose much in emotion.
Please cherish everything that you have already possessed. Maybe you don'tcare about it now. But when you lose it, you will find that how important itis.
“你也许会忘记那些与你一同笑过的人，但是你将永远记住那些与你一同伤心落泪的人。”---- kahlil Girbran每个人都有很多朋友，也一定有属于他自己的友谊。但是，通常只有当你遇到困难时，你才能知道什么是真正的友谊。患难见真情，只有真正的朋友会在你身处困境时帮助你。如果你在逆境中将友谊建立，那么请让它继续到永远。也许一个女孩和一个男孩成为了好朋友，他们在一起会感到很幸福。但是，其他同学会认为他们相爱了。如果你是其中之一，你会怎么办?如果是我，我将不会在乎别人说什么，我只在乎她的感觉。我们应该明白，我们的友谊是纯洁的，是不含任何杂质的。友谊对每个人都很重要，所以我会让我们的友谊继续下去。每个人都应该明白你不能失去异性的朋友如果你不与异性同学交朋友，那么你就已经失去了一半朋友。所以你可以与你所有的同学交朋友，不要害羞。你同样也应该重视你已经建立的友谊，不要破坏它，除非你想伤害他。不过，请不要去尝试，如果你这么做你会失去太多的感情。请珍惜你所拥有的一切也许你现在并不在乎，但当你失去时你会发现它是多么的重要。
亲爱的先生/女士，
我问是你学校的教学方法和你是好学生在这方面知名。
我一直在北京任教的中学三年英语。我永远不会厌倦了我的工作或我的学生。我喜欢在有趣的经验教训作出了很多更有趣，使枯燥和教训少一些。所以我一直对如何改善我的教学激烈，通过阅读努南，哈珀和威多森和参加外国教师讲课。
我明白，良好的英语老师就是一个很好的演讲者和作家。这就是为什么我做了很多工作，以提高我的耳朵和舌头和手所有的时间。我从来没有一天不通过后，英国广播公司说。我说在大多数情况下日常英语。到了晚上，当我喜欢我的退休和隐私，我的座位在自己的电脑前，开始写我的日记。我从来没有用完的东西或条件，但无可否认，有时短的时间。这非常有趣使用电脑写作，这必将冲击肖和莎士比亚。
我会阅读有关英语教学，或英语教学重要的书籍，正与所有重要的思想和人的朋友。当然，我会写一些论文，被公布与否。这将是我的荣幸能在老师的研究项目1宗。我知道这是可能的。
你的诚然，
简奥斯汀
I believe it is in my nature to dance by virtue of the beat of my heart,the pulse of my blood and the music in my mind. So I dance daily.
The seldom-used dining room of my house is now an often-used ballroom — anopen space with a hardwood floor, stereo, and a disco ball. The CD-changer hassix discs at the ready: waltz, swing, country, rock-and-roll, salsa, andtango.
Each morning when I walk through the house on the way to make coffee, Iturn on the music, hit the "shuffle" button, and it's Dance Time! I dance aloneto whatever is playing. It's a form of existential aerobics, a movingmeditation.
Tango is a recent enthusiasm. It's a complex and difficult dance, so I'm upto three lessons a week, three nights out dancing, and I'm off to Buenos Airesfor three months of immersion in tango culture.
The first time I went tango dancing I was too intimidated to get out on thefloor. I remembered another time I had stayed on the sidelines, when the dancingbegan after a village wedding on the Greek island of Crete. The fancy footworkconfused me. "Don't make a fool of yourself," I thought. "Just watch."
Reading my mind, an older woman dropped out of the dance, sat down besideme, and said, "If you join the dancing, you will feel foolish. If you do not,you will also feel foolish. So, why not dance?"
And, she said she had a secret for me. She whispered, "If you do not dance,we will know you are a fool. But if you dance, we will think well of you fortrying."
Recalling her wise words, I took up the challenge of tango.
A friend asked me if my tango-mania wasn't a little ambitious. "Tango? Atyour age? You must be out of your mind!"
On the contrary: It's a deeply pondered decision. My passion for tangodisguises a fearfulness. I fear the shrinking of life that goes with aging. Ifear the boredom that comes with not learning and not taking chances. I fear thedying that goes on inside you when you leave the game of life to wait in thefinal checkout line.
I seek the sharp, scary pleasure that comes from beginning something new —that calls on all my resources and challenges my mind, my body, and my spirit,all at once.
My goal now is to dance all the dances as long as I can, and then to sitdown contented after the last elegant tango some sweet night and pass on becausethere wasn't another dance left in me.
So, when people say, "Tango? At your age? Have lost your mind?" I answer,"No, and I don't intend to."

我相信，随着心跳、脉搏以及心中的音乐去跳舞是我的天性。所以我每天都跳。
我屋子里那个很少使用的餐厅，现在经常被用来作“舞厅”——一个铺着硬木地板、配有立体音响装置的迪厅。我的换片箱里备好了6张碟片：华尔兹、摇摆、乡村、摇滚、萨尔萨和探戈。
每天早上，在去煮咖啡的路上，我都把音乐打开，并摁下“随机”键。跳舞的时间到了!不管放的是什么曲子，我都会随着曲子独自起舞。这是一种关乎存在的增氧运动，一种动起来的沉思。
探戈最近很火爆。这是一种很复杂的比较难跳的舞，所以我一周要上三次课，花三个晚上出去跳舞，我还打算去布宜诺斯艾利斯待三个月，接受探戈文化的浸礼。
第一次去上探戈舞蹈课的时候，我非常害怕，都不敢到地板上去。我还记得，有一次，在希腊克里特岛上，一场乡村婚礼之后，舞会开始了，而我却一直待在旁边不敢跳。那高超的步法让我眼花缭乱。“别做傻事了，”我想，“就看看吧。”
一位年龄比我还大的女士看出了我的想法，她从舞场中退出来，坐在我旁边说，“如果加入这场舞会，你会觉得很傻。如果你不加入，你一样会觉得很傻。既然这样，干吗不跳?”
然后，她说她要告诉我一个秘密。她低声说道：“如果你不跳，我们就会知道你是个傻瓜。可是如果你跳了，我们就会因为你的尝试而觉得你很棒。”
听了这席话，我接受了探戈的挑战。
一个朋友问我，我对探戈的嗜好是不是有点儿太狂野了。“探戈?你这个年龄?你一定是精神不正常了!”
恰恰相反：这是我深思熟虑之后的决定。我对探戈的热情掩盖了一种害怕。我害怕生命随着年龄的增长而缩短。我害怕因为不再学习、不再冒险而产生的无聊。我害怕在退出生命之局而等着末日审判的过程中，你体内发生的死亡。
我追寻那种随着新事物而产生的，尖锐而略带惊吓的喜悦——这就要求我全身心投入，对我的心智、身体和勇气同时进行挑战。
我现在的目标就是：跳完所有我能跳的舞蹈，然后，在某个甜蜜的夜晚，跳完最后一支优雅的探戈后，满意地坐下来，离开世界——因为我体内没有一支没有跳过的舞了。
所以，当人们说，“探戈?你这个年龄?精神不正常吧?”我便回答：“没有啊，我可不想不正常。”
one night a hotel caught fire，and the people who were staying in it ran out in their night clothes.
two men stood outside and looked at the fire.
“before i came out，” said one，“i ran into some of the rooms and found a lot of money.people don't think of money when they're afraid.when anyone leaves paper money in a fire，the fire burns it.so i took all the bills that i could find.no one will be poorer because i took them.”
“you don't know my work，” said the other.
“what is your work？”
“i'm a policeman.
“oh！” cried the first man.he thought quickly and said，“and do you know my work？”“no，”said the policeman.
“i'm a writer.i'm always telling stories about things that never happened.”
As food is to the body, so is learning to the mind. Our bodies grow and muscles develop with the intake of adequate nutritious food. Likewise, we should keep learning day by day to maintain our keen mental power and expand our intellectual capacity. Constant learning supplies us with inexhaustible fuel for driving us to sharpen our power of reasoning, analysis, and judgment. Learning incessantly is the surest way to keep pace with the times in the information age, and an infallible warrant of success in times of uncertainty.
Once learning stops, vegetation sets in. It is a common fallacy to regard school as the only workshop for the acquisition of knowledge. On the contrary, learning should be a never-ending process, from the cradle to the grave. With the world ever changing so fast, the cease from learning for just a few days will make a person lag behind. What's worse, the animalistic instinct dormant deep in our subconsciousness will come to life, weakening our will to pursue our noble ideal, sapping our determination to sweep away obstacles to our success and strangling our desire for the refinement of our character. Lack of learning will inevitably lead to the stagnation of the mind, or even worse, its fossilization, Therefore, to stay mentally young, we have to take learning as a lifelong career.
Dear son,
the day that you see me old and i am already not, have patience and try tounderstand me …
if i get dirty when eating… if i cannot dress… have patience.
remember the hours i spent teaching it to you.
if, when i speak to you, i repeat the same things thousand and one times…do not interrupt me… listen to me
when you were small, i had to read to you thousand and one times the samestory until you get to sleep… when i do not want to have a shower, neither shameme nor scold me…
remember when i had to chase you with thousand excuses i invented, in orderthat you wanted to bath…when you see my on new technologies… give me thenecessary time and not look at me with your mocking smile…
i taught you how to do so many things… to eat well, to dress well… toconfront life…
when at some moment i lose the memory or the thread of our conversation…let me have the necessary time to remember… and if i cannot do it;do not becomenervous… as the most important thing is not my conversation but surely to bewith you and to have you listening to me…
if ever i do not want to eat, do not force me. i know well when i need toand when not.
when my tired legs do not allow me walk… give me your hand… the same way idid when you gave your first steps.
and when someday i say to you that i do not want to live any more…
that i want to die… do not get angry… some day you will understand…
try to understand that my age is not lived but survived.
some day you will discover that, despite my mistakes, i always wanted
the best thing for you and that i tried to prepare the way for you..
you must not feel sad, angry or impotent for seeing me near you. you mustbe next to me, try to understand me and to help me as i did it when you startedliving. help me to walk… help me to end my way with love and patience. iwill
pay you by a smile and by the immense love i have had always for you.
i love you son,
your father
Chinese New Year is the most important festivity for the Chinese people. Itis also called the Spring Festival or the Lunar New Year.
Every year has an animal’s name. These animals are the rat, ox, tiger,rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, ram, monkey, rooster, dog and pig. A Chineselegend says that these twelve animals had a race. The first year was named afterthe rat, the winner. The other eleven years were named after the order in whichthe animals arrived in the race. The clever rat jumped onto the ox’s back thenat the end jumped over the ox’s head to arrive first!
The Chinese believe that a person born in a particular year has some of thecharacteristics of animal.
On Chinese New Year’s Eve all family members enjoy a big, delicious meal.It is very important for the Chinese to be with their families on this occasion.Fish is always part of the dinner because it represents abundance.
On New Year’s Day all Chinese children wear new clothes with bright colors.Red is considered a lucky color. Parents and relatives give children thetraditional New Year’s gift called lucky money. This money is put into brightred and gold envelopes. Fill under the pillow. in the morning of new year , thekid wakes up to see the “lucky money”, express that oneself become one yearolder. Red is a traditional color for festivals, celebrations, weddings andbirthdays.
The lion dancers are always part of the festivities. The lion has a bighead and long body made of cloth. The lion dance is accompanied by drums,cymbals and noisy firecrackers. According to ancient traditions the great noisefrightens away evil spirits.
The dragon is the most important figure of the Chinese New Year festivitiesand parades. The dragon is considered a lucky figure. A parade dragon can be 20to 30 meters long! Sixty or more men move under a long cloth that represents thedragon’s tail.
During the parade children represent the animals of the Chinese calendar.There are also acrobats and musicians in beautiful costumes.
