My uncle came to visit me today. He brought a lot of snacks for me. I wish

he could have took me to the supermarket with him to buy snacks. That way, I can

pick out snacks that I actually like from the supermarket, and I would not have

to pay for it. The snacks that he bought tasted pretty bad. I would rather buy

my own snacks.

参考译文

我叔叔今天来看我了。他给我带了很多零食。我真希望他能带我去超市买零食。这样，我就可以从超市里挑选我真正喜欢的零食，不用付钱了。他买的零食味道很差。我宁愿买我自己的零食。

Some people say yes. The intemet helps students make many friends. Chatting on line, students can express their feelings and opinions more freely, and even get help with their foreign language studies.Others, however, think students should not make friends on line.They say it is a waste of time. besides, some students get cheated on line.

It is my opinion that students should place their study, health and safety before other things. As for friendship, we can readily find it in our classmates and other people around us.

一些人认为可以。因特网可以帮助学生交到许多朋友。通过网上聊天，学生们可以更自由地表达他们的情感和自己的观点，甚至可以帮助学习外语。然而，另外一些人认为学生们不应当上网。他们说网上交友纯粹是浪费时间。此外，一些学生也经常在网上受骗。

我认为学生们应当把学习、健康和安全放在首位，至于交友，我们可以在同学和周围的人中间去进行，而不必在网上交友。

The so-called Eight Immortals refers to the eight immortal, they are: torrent, Han Chung, Lan Tsai, Chang, old, Xiangu, Han Xiang, obviously drunk and Lu Tung-pin.

One day, the Queen Mother of the West Eight Immortals birthday celebration back from the clouds over the East China Sea through, I saw choppy sea, Bailangtaotian, it is truly spectacular. Thus, the Eight Immortals decided to go to the sea and play.

Lu Tung-pin, said: "Everyone threw their treasures on the sea, it is crossed by the sea, comparison and who is more supernatural powers, how?"

Tieguaili first welcomed the recommendation, high-spirited mood he said: "Well you look at me!!" Put the crutches toward the sea, crutches like a boat floating in the water, a torrent somersault, turned upright on crutches.

Han Chung then put his palm-leaf fan thrown into the sea, standing on the top jump.

Subsequently, several other fairy also recount, Chang, old riding a donkey down, marching Lu Tung-pin male and female sword, Xiao Han Xiangzi sitting, riding Xiangu flowers, blue and standing on the green light, obviously drunk stepping jade, are floating up in the sea.

Eight Immortals secure in the surging waves along the drift, which clouds feel different, do not have a new stimulus and atmosphere, we really played with pleasure.

In this case, obviously drunk suddenly points to the right hand, and shouted:

"We see ah! There seat mirage!"

We turned around and saw a gradually rising mountains from the sea, the mountains there are trees, there are buildings, while on the up in the air, the clouds slowly into the horizon, a flash, a cloud that has been scattered by the wind a.

Han Xiang said: "We do not really treat shallow sea dragon mirage gas is booed out of gas, a rare century ah!!"

Suddenly, the blue and disappeared from them. We wait and see far and near, while calling to find, but I could not see blue and traces of old Chang guess, he said:

"East China Sea Dragon King might be trouble, he did not welcome us his prowess at sea, the blue and caught underwater to go, we go together to the underwater dignitaries go!"

We came to the Dragon Palace, Dragon King politely request release. Dragon unreasonable, not only refused, but also sent his sons to lead the minor players to kill the Eight Immortals. Eight Immortals had to use magic to carry a weapon, resisting many small, after a fierce battle, two were the Eight Immortals Dragon Prince killed.

A dragon, his two sons were killed the Eight Immortals, really extreme grief, please South China Sea, West Sea, North Sea Dragon King to help.

Because of a dispute, the Eight Immortals Jade Emperor was downgraded first-class. Since then, the Eight Immortals no longer afraid to stir up trouble to the outside.

所谓八仙是指八位仙人，他们分别是：铁拐李、汉钟离、蓝采和、张果老、何仙姑、韩湘子、曹国舅和吕洞宾。

有一天，八仙向西王母拜寿回来，腾云驾雾从东海上空经过，只见海上波涛汹涌，白浪滔天，煞是壮观。于是，八仙决定到海面上玩一玩。

吕洞宾说：“大家把自己的宝物扔到海面上，借着它渡过大海，比一比谁更有神通，怎么样？”

铁拐李首先对这一建议表示欢迎，他兴致昂扬地说：“好啊！大家先看我的！”便把拐杖投向海中，拐杖像一条小船漂浮在水面，铁拐李一个筋斗，翻立在拐杖上。

接着汉钟离把他的芭蕉扇丢到海上，跳下去站在上面。

接着，其他几位仙人也各显神通，张果老倒骑着毛驴，吕洞宾踏着雌雄宝剑，韩湘子坐着萧，何仙姑乘着花篮，蓝采和站在拍板上，曹国舅踩着玉版，都在海面上漂浮了起来。

八仙安稳地顺着汹涌的波浪漂去，这与腾云驾雾感觉大不相同，别有一番新的刺激和情调，大家玩得好不快意。

这时，曹国舅突然用手指向右边，并高声喊道：

“大家看啊！那里有座海市蜃楼！”

大家转头一看，只见一座仙山渐渐地从海里升起，山上有树木，有楼房，一会儿就升到半空中，慢慢地变成天边的浮云，一转眼，那浮云又被风吹散了。

韩湘子说：“我们真是眼福不浅！蜃气是海里蛟龙嘘出来的气体 ，百年难得一见啊！”

突然 ，蓝采和从他们当中消失了。大家远近观望，一边找一边喊，可就是不见蓝采和的踪迹，张果老猜说：

“可能是东海龙王作怪，他不欢迎我们在他的海上大显神通，把蓝采和抓到龙宫去了，走 我们一起到龙宫要人去！”

大家来到龙宫，婉言请求龙王放人。龙王蛮不讲理，不但不肯，还派自己的几个儿子带领虾兵蟹将追杀八仙。八仙只得用随身的法宝当武器，抵抗虾兵蟹将，经过一场激烈的战斗之后，龙王的两个太子被八仙杀死了。

龙王一听，自己的两个儿子被八仙杀了，真是悲愤至极，商请南海、西海、北海龙王来帮忙。龙王的不依不饶，把八仙也给惹火了。铁拐李用酒葫芦把海水吸光，其余几位仙人将泰山搬了过来，往东海一扔，东海立刻变成了一座高 。

双方打得天昏地暗，日月无光，把太上老君、如来佛和观世音也惊动了，他们全都赶来调解。调解的结果是，由蓝采和送东海龙王两片玉版，作为杀两位太子的补偿泰山则由观世音负责搬回原处。

因为这一场纠纷，八仙被玉皇大帝降级一等。从此，八仙再也不敢到外面惹是生非了。

我的学校生活可丰富啦!在学校里和伙伴们一起学习、一起嬉戏、一起吃饭、一起打扫卫生。每天过得都很快乐、充实。我很有幸和同学认识相处在一个大家庭里。

每天早晨我们在教室里一起朗读着课文，早读课一下我们便又一起上课。在课堂上，我们仿佛又成了一个个仇人似的，恨不得老师指点自己的名字，让自己来发言。我们就是这样，上着每一节课。

我记得我在里最最幸福的时候，就是我在课堂上吐了，我的好伙伴们并没有不关心我，纷纷拿纸巾的物品给我，让我自己来擦擦自己的衣服。力气大的同学则到教室外面的水池来拿拖把，把我在地上吐得东西给脱了干净，并且把地面擦得亮如白昼。这些举动让我感到十分的欣慰。就连我在家的时候有的同学还是在问我要不要紧。我都一一的做了答复，他们也都很希望我能早日回到这个大家庭当中。这件事情对我的影响十分的大。

……

在这个大家庭当中我十分的开心。过段时间就是“六一”了，我们班又有两位同学要在班上开生日会了，那时候我们班幸福的时刻又要到了。

我爱这个大家庭，更爱我的校园生活和同学、伙伴们!

因此，不负责任的父母应该受到惩罚。我们应该给予全面考虑这个问题。

The first day is for the welcoming of the deities of the heavens and earth, officially beginning at midnight. Many people, especially Buddhists, abstain from meat consumption on the first day because it is believed that this will ensure longevity for them. Some consider lighting fires and using knives to be bad luck on New Years Day, so all food to be consumed is cooked the day before. For Buddhists, the first day is also the birthday of Maitreya Bodhisattva (better known as the more familiar Budai Luohan), the Buddha-to-be. People also abstain from killing animals.

Most importantly, the first day of Chinese New Year is a time when families visit the oldest and most senior members of their extended family, usually their parents, grandparents or great-grandparents.

Some families may invite a lion dance troupe as a symbolic ritual to usher in the Lunar New Year as well as to evict bad spirits from the premises. Members of the family who are married also give red packets containing cash to junior members of the family, mostly children and teenagers.

While fireworks and firecrackers are traditionally very popular, some regions have banned them due to concerns over fire hazards, which have resulted in increased number of fires around New Years and challenged municipal fire departments work capacity. For this reason, various city governments (e.g., Hong Kong, and Beijing, for a number of years) issued bans over fireworks and firecrackers in certain premises of the city. As a substitute, large-scale fireworks have been launched by governments in cities like Hong Kong to offer citizens the experience.

When I got home, it was very dark. Why? There is no electric. Every year in

Beijing, there is lack of electric to supply. Because there are a lot of

factories. And it is very cold in winter. So the government decided: supply

electric to resident and the factories must stop working. My house is in the

manufacturing district. I was unlucky. It was very cold. So my father use the

electric making machine to make electric. Oh! What a unlucky winter!

当我回到家，这是非常黑暗。为什么呢?没有电。每年在北京，还有就是缺少电力供应。因为有很多工厂。这是非常寒冷的冬天。因此，政府决定：供应电对居民和工厂必须停止工作。我的房子是在生产区。我是不幸的。这是非常寒冷。所以，我的父亲用途电制造的机器使电。哦!什么是倒霉的冬天!
