Why, you may wonder, should spiders be our friends? Because they destroy so many insects, and insects include some of the greatest enemies of the human race.Insects would make it impossible for us to live in the world; they would devour all our crops and kill our flocks and herds, if it were not for the protection we get from insect-eating animals.We owe a lot to the birds and beasts who eat insects but all of them put together kill only a fraction of the number destroyed by spiders.Moreover, unlike some of the other insect eaters, spiders never do the least harm to us or our belongings.

Spiders are not insects, as many people think, nor even nearly related to them.One can tell the difference almost at a glance, for a spider always has eight legs and an insect never more than six.

How many spiders are engaged in this work on our behalf? One authority on spiders made a census of the spiders in a grass field in the south of England, and he estimated that there were more than 2,250,000 in one acre; that is something like 6,000,000 spiders of different kinds on a football pitch.Spiders are busy for at least half the year in killing insects.It is impossible to make more than the wildest guess at how many they kill, but they are hungry creatures, not content with only three meals a day.It has been estimated that the weight of all the insects destroyed by spiders in Britain in one year would be greater than the total weight of all the human beings in the country.

你可能会觉得奇怪，蜘蛛怎么会是我们的朋友呢?因为它们能消灭那么多的昆虫，其中包括一些人类的大敌。要不是人类受一些食虫动物的保护，昆虫就会使我们无法在地球上生活下去，昆虫会吞食我们的全部庄稼，杀死我们的成群的牛羊。我们要十分感谢那些吃昆虫的鸟和兽，然而把它们所杀死的昆虫全部加在一起也只相当于蜘蛛所消灭的一小部分。此外，蜘蛛不同于其他食虫动物，它们丝毫不危害我们和我们的财物。

许多人认为蜘蛛是昆虫，但它们不是昆虫，甚至与昆虫毫无关系。人们几乎一眼就能看出二者的差异，因为蜘蛛都是8条腿，而昆虫的腿从不超过6条。

有多少蜘蛛在为我们效力呢?一位研究蜘蛛的权威对英国南部一块草坪上的蜘蛛作了一次调查。他估计每英亩草坪里有225万多只蜘蛛。这就是说，在一个足球场上约有600万只不同种类的蜘蛛。蜘蛛至少有半年忙于吃昆虫。它们一年中消灭了多少昆虫，我们简直无法猜测，它们是吃不饱的动物，不满意一日三餐。据估计，在英国蜘蛛一年里所消灭昆虫的重量超过了这个国家人口的总重量。

My father is 37 years old, he has a pair of bright and piercing eyes, eyes there are some years left traces. Dads hair is very short, he said it can be convenient to wash your hair. In my mind, he always wore the dirty clothes, two hands very rough, a look to know his work is very hard.

You do not see him usually always laughing, in fact, I was very harsh. Dad said, do not ask me to test the first class, as long as the first few to enter the line on the line. I remember one time I careless, only test eighty points. On the way home from school, my heart like "fifteen bucket water - seven on eight". Back home, my father asked me how many points test, I scared not speak. Dad took me past, said to me: "I usually teach you how, how can you afford me, how worthy of working hard in the mother abroad?" Dads words let me shed tears of pain.

Although my father is harsh, but the heart is very hurt me.

I remember once, my father took me to the park to play. After getting out of the car, I walked for a moment to feel a little tired. Dad seeing me busy said: "Lin Yu, I come back you walk it!" Then he squatted down, let me climb up his big back. I was lying on the back of my father very comfortable to touch his hair, in the suns exposure, I saw the fathers head has a silver-like hair like hair. My heart slightly dengkou a bit, thinking, how so fast father began to old? I secretly shed tears, and my heart silently said: "Dad, I must learn, grow up and reward your parenting!"

In fact, my fathers love for me far more than this little bit. My mother went abroad for three years, my father both when the father and when the mother, the tube I eat, drink, play ... ... Dads hard is unspeakable.

teaching children english is very interested but it is also challeging. because children are always active, even sometimes very naughty. so teachers need a lot of patience to deal with children. the most important that i have learned from my one year teacing experence is that a teacher should have the kind of听the mind that always wants to go on learning. teaching is a job at which one will never be perfet. if i have the chance, i will try my best to be a good primary english teacher.

My name is xxx . There are 4 people in my family. My father is a Chemistry teacher. He teaches chemistry in senior high school. My mother is an English teacher. She teaches English in the university. I have a younger brother, he is a junior high school student and is preparing for the entrance exam.

I like to read English story books in my free time. Sometimes I surf the Internet and download the E- books to read. Reading E- books is fun. In addition, it also enlarges my vocabulary words because of the advanced technology and the vivid animations.

I hope to study both  in English and computer technology because I am interested in both of the subjects. Maybe one day I could combine both of them and apply to my research in the future.

The qingming (Pure Brightness) Festival is one of the 24 seasonal division points in China, falling on April 4-6 each year. After the festival, the temperature will rise up and rainfall increases. It is the high time for spring plowing and sowing. But the qingming Festival is not only a seasonal point to guide farm work, it is more a festival of commemoration.

The qingming Festival sees a combination of sadness and happiness.

This is the most important day of sacrifice. Both the Han and minority ethnic groups at this time offer sacrifices to their ancestors and sweep the tombs of the diseased. Also, they will not cook on this day and only cold food is served.

The Hanshi (Cold Food) Festival was usually one day before the qingming Festival. As our ancestors often extended the day to the qingming, they were later combined.

On each qingming Festival, all cemeteries are crowded with people who came to sweep tombs and offer sacrifices. Traffic on the way to the cemeteries becomes extremely jammed. The customs have been greatly simplified today. After slightly sweeping the tombs, people offer food, flowers and favorites of the dead, then burn incense and paper money and bow before the memorial tablet.

In contrast to the sadness of the tomb sweepers, people also enjoy hope of Spring on this day. The qingming Festival is a time when the sun shines brightly, the trees and grass become green and nature is again lively. Since ancient times, people have followed the custom of Spring outings. At this time tourists are everywhere.

People love to fly kites during the qingming Festival. Kite flying is actually not limited to the qingming Festival. Its uniqueness lies in that people fly kites not during the day, but also at night. A string of little lanterns tied onto the kite or the thread look like shining stars, and therefore, are called "gods lanterns."

The qingming Festival is also a time to plant trees, for the survival rate of saplings is high and trees grow fast later. In the past, the qingming Festival was called "Arbor Day". But since 1979, "Arbor Day" was settled as March 12 according to the Gregorian calendar.

I am a lovely little girl, although I am 9 years old, but the understanding of the animal makes you cant believe a ferocious tiger, strange Chinese sturgeon, a giant pandas, a naughty dolphins, with the lion king of the forest, a sly fox, and clever monkey in these animals, my favorite animal is the white rabbit, the rabbit is a common animal, but I saw a small white rabbit remembered in the snow in the joy! Because I like rabbits, so I know it very well!

小白兔长得很普通，雪白雪白的毛儿，非常漂亮，要是下雪，动物们一定以为白兔是雪中小精灵。长长的耳朵，像黑宝石的眼睛，还有一张三瓣嘴，宛如听了什么笑话，笑得嘴都裂开了。

The rabbit is very common, white hair, very beautiful, if it were to snow white, animal must think snow elves. Long ears, black stones like the eyes, and a three valve mouth, like to listen to what a joke, grin cracked.

我猜白兔长得不特别是因为它吃得不好，吃一些萝卜或者青菜，我就搞不懂它为什么不吃肉呀?如果我是白兔，我就吃肉，不吃萝卜。

I guess the rabbit isnt particularly because it is not good to eat, eat some carrots or cabbage, I do not know why it does not eat meat? If I was a rabbit, I eat meat, do not eat radish.

我很喜欢兔子，所以小时候妈妈给我买了一只可爱的小白兔，可惜它在我家只过了一天就死了，还记得那天中午，妈妈买了青菜，我就拼命地把菜往小白兔的笼子里塞，白兔狼吞虎咽地大吃起来，好像一个星期没吃饭似的。就这样我让它吃了很多青菜，结果它被吃撑死了呀!唉!我真希望兔子像千年老龟一样活那么长时间呀!

I like the rabbit, so when my mother bought me a cute little rabbit, but it in my home, only one died, remember that day at noon, my mother bought vegetables, I tried to put food into the small rabbit rabbit cage plug, eat like wolves and tigers to eat, If hadnt eaten for a week. So I let it eat a lot of vegetables, it is eat dead! Oh! I really hope that the rabbit like a thousand year old turtle live so long time!

万能的造物主，造就了芸芸众生，也造就了千奇百怪的兴趣，这些兴趣的精灵们督促着每一个人为了梦想而上下求索。

渊博的学者说：“兴趣是人生最好的老师，只要有了兴趣，谁不怕一门学门研究不透。”在此言指导下，爱迪生为了光明而矢志不渝地踽踽独行；牛顿为了万有引力定律而孜孜不倦的引导定律；朱光亚为了核武器而不畏艰难地攻克难关。文学学者因为此言创建了“书中自有黄金屋，书中自有颜如玉”的生动比喻；创建了“我扑在书上，就像饥饿的人扑在面包上一样”的贴切比喻；创建了“无一日不读书”的佳话。

伟大的艺术家说：“兴趣是通往艺术殿堂的伟大途径。”贝多芬受此影响，沉醉于《命运交响曲》的.韵律中，不能自已；张择端受此言影响，陶醉于《清明上河图》的车水马龙，人头攒动的景象中，开怀大笑；齐白石老人受此影响，走进到虾的海洋，觉的自己似乎与其共舞。

勤奋的工人说：再漂亮的词话都难以形容产品做出时的痛快。“王进喜对于此言感受颇深，为了开通中国第一个油井的伟大兴趣爱好，高喊”北风当电扇，大雪是炒面，天南海北来会战，誓夺头号大油田。“干！干！干！”和“可少活二十年拼命也要拿下大油田！”因为兴趣，使其成为新中国响当当的头号“铁人”。

无论是勤劳的工人，伟大的艺术家，渊博的学者乃至三百六十行的各式各样的人们，都因为兴趣成就了不朽的人生，然而如今“兴趣”却在变味，甚至令人嗤之以鼻。

无数的家长们为了孩子们小升初，将一个个所谓命运强加给孩子们，原本喜爱图画的孩子，被迫学架子鼓钢琴等宠然大物，家长培养兴趣是对的，可是他们却与孩子们的愿望背道而驰，其结果只能是事倍功半。

俏把人生比作一辆崭新的汽车，而兴趣就是人生的马达，它鞭策着第一个人赶紧启动；俏把人生比作一股凶猛的海浪，而兴趣就是人生的地震，它不断促使着每一个人赶紧上前。无论是贝多芬，还是爱因斯坦，王进喜等都由兴趣成就了足民彪炳史册和功业。同样面对着如今卷帙浩繁的书籍，我们不应等山过来，而应“山不过来，我就过去。”主动请缨，用兴趣去学习每一科目吧！

I am pleased to serve as your guide today.

This is the palace museum; also know as the Purple Forbidden City. It is the largest and most well reserved imperial residence in China today. Under Ming Emperor Yongle, construction began in 1406. It took 14years to build the Forbidden City. The first ruler who actually lived here was Ming Emperor Zhudi. For five centuries thereafter, it continued to be the residence of23 successive emperors until 1911 when Qing Emperor Puyi was forced to abdicate the throne .In 1987, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization recognized the Forbidden City was a world cultural legacy.

It is believed that the Palace Museum, or Zi Jin Cheng (Purple Forbidden City), got its name from astronomy folklore, The ancient astronomers divided the constellations into groups and centered them around the Ziwei Yuan(North Star). The constellation containing the North Star was called the Constellation of Heavenly God and star itself was called the purple palace. Because the emperor was supposedly the son of the heavenly gods, his central and dominant position would be further highlighted the use of the word purple in the name of his residence. In folklore, the term ”an eastern purple cloud is drifting” became a metaphor for auspicious events after a purple cloud was seen drifting eastward immediately before the arrival of an ancient philosopher, LaoZi, to the Hanghu Pass. Here, purple is associated with auspicious developments. The word jin (forbidden) is self-explanatory as the imperial palace was heavily guarded and off-explanatory as the imperial palace was heavily guarded and off-limits to ordinary people.

The red and yellow used on the palace walls and roofs are also symbolic. Red represents happiness, good fortune and wealth. Yellow is the color of the earth on the Loess Plateau, the original home of the Chinese people. Yellow became an imperial color during the Tang dynasty, when only members of the royal family were allowed to wear it and use it in their architecture.

The Forbidden City is rectangular in shape. It is 960 meters long from north to south and 750 meter wide from east west. It has 9,900 rooms under a total roof area 150,000 square meters .A 52-meter-wide-moat encircles a 9.9-meter—high wall which encloses the complex. Octagon —shaped turrets rest on the four corners of the wall. There are four entrances into the city: the Meridian Gate to the south, the Shenwu Gate(Gate of Military Prowess) to the north, and the Xihua Gate(Gate of military Prowess) to the north, and the Xihua Gate(Western Flowery Gate )to the west ,the Donghua (Eastern Flowery Gate) to the east.

Manpower and materials throughout the country were used to build the Forbidden City. A total of 230,000 artisans and one million laborers were employed. Marble was quarried from fangshan Country Mount Pan in Jixian County in Hebei Province. Granite was quarried in Quyang County in Hebei Province. Paving blocks were fired in kilns in Suzhou in southern China. Bricks and scarlet pigmentation used on the palatial walls came from linqing in Shandong Province .Timber was cut ,processed and hauled from the northwestern and southern regions.

The structure in front of us is the Meridian Gate. It is the main entrance to the forbidden City. It is also knows as Wufenglou(Five-Phoenix Tower). Ming emperors held lavish banquets here on the 15th day of the first month of the Chinese lunar year in hornor of their counties .They also used this place for punishing officals by flogging them with sticks.

Qing emperors used this building to announce the beginning of the new year. Qing Emperor Qianglong changed the original name of this announcement ceremony from ban li(announcement of calendar)to ban shou(announcement of new moon )to avoid coincidental association with another Emperor` s name, Hongli, which was considered a taboo at that time. Qing Dynasty emperors also used this place to hold audience and for other important ceremonies. For example,when the imperial army returned victoriously from the battlefield ,it was here that the Emperor presided over the ceremony to accept prisoners of war.

(After entering the Meridian Gate and standing in front of the Five Marble Bridges on Golden Water River)

Now we are inside the Forbidden City.Before we start our tour, I would like to briefly introduce you to the architectural patterns befour us .To complete this solemn, magnificent and palatial complex, a variety of buildings were arranged on a north-south axis, and 8-kilometer-long invisible line that has become an inseparable part of the City of Beijing. The Forbidden City covers roughly one –third of this central axis. Most of the important building in the Forbidden City weree arranged along this line. The design and arrangement of the palaces reflect the solemn dignity of the royal court and rigidly –stratified feudal system.

The Forbidden City is divided into an outer and an inner count.We are now standing on the southernmost part of the outer count. In front of us lies the Gate of supreme Harmony .The gate is guarded by a pair of bronze lions ,symbolizing imperial power and dignity. The lions were the most exquisite and biggest of its kind. The one on the east playing with a ball is a male, and ball is said to represent state unity. The other one is a female. Underneath one of its fore claws is a cub that is considered to be a symbol of perpetual imperial succession. The winding brook before us is the Golden Water River. It functions both as decoration and fire control .The five bridges spanning the river represent the five virtues preached by Confucius :benevolence, righteousness, rites, intellence and fidelity. The river takes the shape of a bow and the north-south axis is its arrow. This was meant to show that the Emperors ruled the country on behalf of God.
