behind other students in study as I spent the time on this hobby. At last, I

still decided to join tennis club, because I wanted to do something special and

enriched my high school life. I tried hard to make plans for my study. At the

same time, I spared some time to play tennis. I found the balance and enjoyed

the thing l liked.

Making Every Day Earth Day

Now the earth is in bad condition. For example, in some places, the air and water pollution is so serious that it causes many deaths. At the same time, many animals and plants are in danger because of the destruction of their habitats.

Luckily, we human beings have realized the problem. On April 22nd, millions of people across the world do something good for the earth. Some clean up beaches and water, some pick up rubbish, others give speeches to call on more people to take action. But can we save the earth only by one day’s work? The future of our planet depends on our efforts. What we should do is to make every day Earth Day. Only by taking good care of it every day can we hope to live in harmony with nature.

Have you ever been Changbai MountainIt is a marvelous place and known by people all over the word. My parents like traveling very much.So, in summer vacation, our family choose Changbai Mountain to visit.

Owing to the remote location, we spent one night to go there by train. When we reached the gate of Changbai Mountain, we felt very lucky. Because the weather was so good and full of sunshine that we can see Heaven Pool clearly. In the tour, we saw the virgin forest. Changbai Mountain is a natural big Museum and one of most famous forest of China, being honored as “Temperate biological free gene pool”. There are kinds of tree, such as Korean pine, fir, birch and so on. There is the “millennium snow is the year pine, on straight world first peak” fine reputation. Also, I saw many squirrels. They are very cute. I took many photos of them. I really wanted to take them to my home, but it is impossible.

The bus took us to the foot of the mountain. Our board is to look at heaven pool in Changbai Mountain, but would like to see the heaven pool is not easy. The jeep bumped along the rough mountain road, and we must climb over 1,200-tread of the staircase. I felt very tired after that. It acquires fame because of its prominent peak old age mountain multi- white pumice and the snow. The sun was shining on the foot of mountain

but the wind around the mountains become fog. There is really cold, so we all put on our coat. From what the guide said, we know that Heaven pool is a high mountain summer resort some 1, 980 meters above sea level. And I want to say:” Heaven pool is so beautiful and an earthly paradise.”

Changbai Mountain is a dormant volcano, as a result of Changbai Mountain unique geography structure. Nearby the heaven pool, we saw the crater. It is too grand to keep on going. As if I go ahead, I will fall to the bottom.

There are many hot springs.Changbai mountain is famous for the most abundant hot springs and mineral spring sources ,but it is a little expensive. The most famous food of Changbai Mountain is over eggs. The eggs are boiled in hot spring. Everyone who visits Changbai Mountain must eat them. It is a symbol of Changbai Mountain.

Changbai Mountains is one of the state AAAA level scenic spots. It is the best choice to be the first spot to visit China. Don’t miss it, or you must be regretful.

The Dragon Boat Festival， also called Double Fifth Festival， is celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth moon of the lunar calendar. It is one of the most important Chinese festivals，the other two being the Autumn Moon Festival and Chinese New Year.

The origin of this summer festival centers around a scholarly government official named Chu Yuan. He was a good and respected man，but because of the misdeeds of jealous rivals he eventually fell into disfavor in the emperors court.

Unable to regain the respect of the emperor，in his sorrow Chu Yuan threw himself into the Mi Low river. Because of their admiration for Chu Yuan， the local people living adjacent to the Mi Lo River rushed into their boats to search for him while throwing rice into the waters to appease the river dragons.

Although they were unable to find Chu Yuan，their efforts are still commemorated today during the Dragon Boat Festival.

中文翻译

端午节，又称为五五节，因为端午节是在农历的五月五日，是三个重要的中国节庆之一，其他两个分别是中秋节和农历新年。

这个节日的由来是古代中国有一位博学多闻的官吏屈原，他是一位爱民而且又受到尊崇的官吏，但是由於一位充满嫉妒的官吏陷害，从此在朝廷中被皇帝所冷落。由於无法获得皇帝的重视，屈原在忧郁的情况下投汨罗江自尽。

由於对屈原的爱戴，汨罗江畔的居民匆忙的划船在江内寻找屈原，并且将米丢入汨罗江中，以平息汨罗江中的蛟龙。即使他们当时并没有找到屈原，但是他们的行为，直到今天在端午节的时候，仍然被人们传颂纪念著。

The spring festival is Chinese most traditional festival every 365 days.

Each Chinese pay much attention on it. Every year about 15 days before spring

festival， the migrate works and white-collars are beginning crowded

home-returning.

But， in recent years， with the development of the world， many different

attitudes between the young and the old towards the spring festival come forth.

The old are still pay more attention to the spring festival， but the young

gradually change the mode to spend their spring festival holiday， such as travel

overseas.

When I am a childhood， I celebrated the spring festival with my family

about a month in my winter vacation in traditional way， such as helping cleaning

our houses， putting red couplets on gates， setting off firecrackers， and wear

new clothes. Now， I spend only 4 or 5 days at home with my parents in

celebrating the spring festival， then I will hurry back to work. Maybe in the

near future， I will have no time celebrating spring festival hometown， and my

parents have to come to stay with us in the city.

Whether or no， I like the spring festival. It is one of the most important

part of our Chinese culture. However busy I am， I will try my best to

celebrating it with the traditional way to protect those our ancestor has leave

behind.

There really is no place like New York City.As says,it has diversity,energy,and attitude -- available 24 hours a day. Youll never be bored here.This is an international fashion capital with the hottest dining scene in the country and some of the best theater options you could ever find.Plus,nearly the entire city is covered in some of the most recognizable icons in the country,including the lights of Times Square and the unmistakable Empire State Building.If you live in a major East Coast city,chances are youll be able to get to New York for relatively cheap by bus -- BoltBus and Megabus are just a couple companies that transfer visitors to NYC for cheap.The buzzing Big Apple allures people today just as it always has.See,not only is NYC the most populous city in the U.S.-- filled with everyone from bohemian artists to investment bankers -- its also at the forefront of food,fashion,the arts and nightlife (it is,after all,the city that never sleeps).But perhaps youre turned off by images of clogged streets and cacophonous cabs,the chaotic (at best) Times Square and the claustrophobic feeling of walking amongst soaring skyscrapers.You might also object to the many must-see attractions -- the Empire State Building,the Statue of Liberty,the Brooklyn Bridge and more.

带翻译：

真的是没有像纽约这样的地方。说，它的多样性、能源和态度——一天24小时可用。你永远不会感到无聊。这是一个国际时尚之都最热门的美食国家和一些最好的剧院选项你能找到。另外，几乎整个城市都是在这个国家的一些最知名的图标，包括时代广场的灯光和帝国大厦。如果你住在东海岸的一个主要城市，那么你就可以乘公共汽车去纽约相对便宜——BoltBus公司和Megabus只是几个游客转移到纽约对廉价的公司。嗡嗡作响的大苹果今天一样总是吸引人。看到的，不仅是在美国纽约人口最多的城市——充满了每个人从放荡不羁的艺术家到投资银行家——这也是食物的最前沿，时尚，艺术和夜生活(毕竟，不夜城)。但也许你关掉的图像堵塞众声喧哗的街道和出租车，混乱的(最好的)时代广场和幽闭的感觉行走在高耸的摩天大楼。您可能还反对许多必看景点——帝国大厦、自由女神像、布鲁克林大桥等等。

After I go to school, teachers always tell me to study hard, so that I can

be the excellent student. But now I have grown up, I have my own idea. The

reason for me to study hard is to return my parents’ love. When they are old, I

can make a lot of money and let them have a better life.

《格列佛游记》自从我上初中一年级就进入了我的书柜，与我成了好朋友。它之初以有趣的情节、幽默的语言深深吸引了我。再后来，我读懂了里头更深层的东西：

一种讽刺与批判 ——以夸张、荒诞来表现的。了解这以后，我就更对它爱不释手了，就像两个人的友谊不再只停留于简单的玩乐，而侧重与思想交流了。

《格列佛游记》是英国人乔纳森·斯威夫特于一七二六年创作的，作为英国十八世纪初最优秀的讽刺作家和政治家，他以老辣的笔触痛斥了英国统治者对爱尔兰人民的剥削与侵害。通过对格列佛这个"命中注定迟早总得别家远行"的人的奇异经历的叙述来展开自己特殊的战斗，耐人寻味。

文中主人公格列佛像一个孩子：他随心搬运小人国的人和物，像是摆弄玩具;漂落到大人国后他又像幼儿在成人世界里一样感到无助。在小人国利立浦特(一个十二分之一的微缩国度)——这玩具般的世界里，所有的雄心和邀宠，政事和战事都不免显得渺小了。比如党派间竟以鞋跟高低划分阵营。小人国利立浦特的朝廷处处射影当时的英国。如果说小人国是射影，那么在大人国布罗卜丁奈格里格列佛本人和英国则成为了公开批评的对象。格列佛与大人国国王互相赞扬自己的国家。后来，

因为格列佛是大人国最弱小的人，所以他一心想巴结讨好国王，表示愿把制造武器的方法献给国王。他吹嘘说：火药枪炮威力巨大，能使敌人尸横遍野，血流成河。

国王听后却感叹他竟有如此残酷的想法——造出能杀死自己的东西。因此大人国对格列佛一片嘲骂。于是，这两种思维对立起来：显然，在这里被朝骂的不只是英国的杀人武器，而且更进一步指向了武器背后的种.种无形的制度和思维逻辑。值得提出的是："殖民"是贯穿全书的主题之一。

那时，英国征服世界的霸业才刚刚起戈，正处于蓬蓬勃勃之势，《鲁滨逊漂流记》和当时流行的游记文学都直接表达了对殖民事业的狂热。而斯威夫特没有借助可透视千百年的眼光便如此明晰地看透了西方帝国主义扩张本质，着实令我叹服。

想到自身，想到当今社会，一流的讽刺与写作能力再加上看透事件本质的眼光正是作家可遇不可求的。我想鲁迅先生就有与他类似的风格。而鲁迅先生也说过："一件平常的事假如到了斯惠夫德(斯威夫特)或泰戈尔的手里，我看是准可以成为出色的讽刺作品的。"而我，也确实领略到了斯威夫特的睿智。所以，我会努力学习好这种思维，并在生活这个大校园中逐渐培养自己看透事物本质的能力，做一名智者。

"I now declare the rules of the game: a man hides a few things, and a few others go and hide them," said the town. We drew a lot and finally decided to hide three coke bottle caps from our cousin. The cousin pushed us out of the room and hid things by herself... After a while, the cousin came out with a smile and said, "hide it, you cant find it!" We swarmed in, and I thought: the easiest place to hide is probably the most secluded place. So, I will seriously every corner to find it again, did not, in the look at the kid sister, drill under the bed, their tails on the outside, groping hands in it, no, she just want to stand up, "alas!" The little sister cried, and she cried, and she stood up under the bed and hit the bed.

So she stopped the game. Ah! One less opponent, but the cousin is also difficult to deal with, see her in the closet to each piece of clothing to turn over, wow! Not yet! But where exactly? I glanced around, and then I noticed a shiny object behind the curtain.

I pulled the curtain aside. Coke bottle caps! I was happy to jump three feet high, my cousin saw, a look of unconvinced. But shes picking up speed. Look for it here. I made haste, and under the bed and then watch out of the reach of little younger sister, and I found a coke bottle caps, my heart even more excited to get up, then I have found in a book under the last bottle. "Shout! It took me a lot of work! I sighed and said, my cousin, my cousin and my sister are all happy for me. The cousin said, "you are very observant!" I heard it, I was very happy.

Dear Friend,

How have you been recently? I miss you very much. Do you still remember

me?

To be honest, Im honored to make friends with you. I still remember the

days when we were together. As far as I know, you are the kindest person in the

world. Once we were together, you always treated me as if I were your dear

brother, so I was grateful to you in my heart. After you leaving, I always

thought of you. Next time we have a chance to see each other, I will say "thank

you" to you. Thank you for your kindness. Now I have got the meaning of my

life.

Although we are in two different places now, we are still together, because

we are always heart to heart. I believe we can see each other again. Since we

are always close friends as well as dear brothers. Because of you, my life is

always so significant. Wherever I am, I will pray good luck for you.

Last but not the least, I hope you can make it and have a bright

future.

Sincerely yours,

Jason

I always hear about my friends’ complaining, they say their income is such low that they can’t not make ends meet.

At first, I would pity for them, but in the long run, I find their work is so easy, they just sit in the office from 9 am to 5 pm, they even don’t need to go out for business. While I see another friend, he works so hard, his working hour is very unstable, sometimes he even works until 9 pm.

The fact is that he earns the most between my friends.

It is true that no pain, no gain, if people want more, they need to pay out more. Comparing to be envy about other people’s great income, we’d better to work hard to realize what we want. There is not short-cut for people to get successful, working hard is the only way.

我总是听到朋友们的抱怨，他们说收入太少了，以至于无法收支平衡。刚开始，我会为他们感到遗憾，但是长期下来，我发现他们的工作很轻松，他们在办公室里朝九晚五地坐着，甚至不需要外出跑业务。

然而我看到了另外一个朋友，他很努力工作，工作时间不稳定，有时候甚至于工作到晚上九点。

事实上，他是我朋友之中赚得最多的。没有付出，就没有收获， 确实如此，如果人们想要，需要付出。与其羡慕别人的高收入，不如努力工作来实现我们想要的。成功没有捷径，努力工作是唯一的方法。

武当山游记

盖天下美景而又着历史之厚重者，必为世人心驰神往，趋之若鹜，难以计数。其或为山水折服，或为名胜倾心，或为登凌绝顶以舒心境，或为别离尘嚣以求静心，亦或为过江之鲫类儿。余常闻武当景色秀丽，风月无边，加之历史名胜古迹，其名气驾五岳之上，隽秀与黄山比肩，底蕴与九华齐名，仙境与蓬莱并驾，奇险与华山同语，每及与此，砰然心动，向往之情溢于言表。

吾常梦中神游武当仙境，待梦尽觉醒之时，身置千里之遥，终觉黄粱，不亦悲乎。然世之事，诚不可测。吾与三两同事，驾车驰往，待及山脚处，方知梦中之事得偿所愿。武当不愧为天下名山，山下人声鼎沸车水马龙，前者呼，后者应;山中盘旋车次来往交错，犹与盘龙，直追白日;山顶紫气妖娆峰插云霄，欲与天公试比高。如今身临其境，得观全景，揽武当山岭丘壑于胸中，取钟鼓红楼与眼下，听空谷回音于耳内，闻清风香气于口舌，寰宇之内，耳得为声，目遇成色，加之踏千年古土，立举世之峰，与日月对歌，同宇宙交欢，磅礴之势，无与争锋。

星期五中午，我还在吃香喷喷的饭。突然，电话铃“叮铃铃!叮铃铃!”的响了起来。我飞快的去接电话。“喂，豆豆，你把生活用品准备一下，下午妈妈带你去镇安玩。”我说“好的。”我这才得知消息要去镇安。我连忙收拾东西。一会儿，妈妈就回来了。我们一起坐妈妈同事的车一起去镇安。

经过了1个小时30分钟的路途，我们顺利到达镇安县城。我们在一家开元商城订了7、8间房子。因为，妈妈有许多同事都一起来玩了。我和妈妈同事的小孩也互相认识，一起玩耍。之后，我们就去一家镇安的小饭店吃饭了，给我们付账的是一位镇安的叔叔，他点的菜非常好吃，美味极了，吃了还想吃。他点的菜有土豆拌牛肉、烤韭菜、娃娃菜，还有镇安特色烤全羊。吃完饭后，我们去了宾馆，洗了澡，刷了牙，看了一会儿电视。我就迷迷糊糊的睡着了。

第二天早上，我们去距离镇安县有90千米路程的木王国家森林公园玩。我们坐着车，途中有时候还玩一玩冰凉凉、清澈透明的水，有时候看看沿途漂亮的风景。终于，我们到了。我们吃了香喷喷的午饭。我们进了公园里。我们先去了杜鹃花坛，美丽的杜鹃花婀娜多姿;然后到了四海坪，真美丽。木王国家森林公园的旅游资源浓缩秦岭旅游资源的精华，以林海、杜鹃和奇峰、怪石为主，融林、花、峰、石、水、洞景为一体，集雄、奇、秀、险、野、幽于一身，有3河、9溪、18瀑、36谭、72峰、108个主要景点，分为鹰嘴峰、四海坪、双头马、茨沟四大各显特色的景区。其中千年冷杉林带为秦岭，千山杜鹃为西北第一，千丈鹰峰为华夏一绝，千米石瀑为世界罕见。公园风景资源的质量等级符合国家一级标准，有“万象森列，天开画卷”之美誉。

之后，我们又开车回镇安县城了。在路上，我迷迷糊糊的睡了一觉。当我睡醒的时候，刚好到了县城。我们吃了一家好吃的面条，就回西安了。在回西安的路上，我们经过了许多隧道，最长的隧道是终南山隧道，长约18。2千米，也是亚洲最长的隧道。

镇安真有趣，我很喜欢!

Nowadays, with the development of computer, the function of computer has developed, too. We can use computer to check the instant news, make friend and so on. The reason why so many people addict to computer is that they like to play the computer games, there are all kinds of computer games, everyone can find a game which is suitable to him. Too much involve in the computer games is wasting time, we should control our habit. First, we must set the limit time on it, wed better not to play the game over an hour. We have to tell ourselves that we must stop playing when the time is up, we have another thing to do. Second, we should go out with friends often, so we can communicate with others, it makes our mind not focus on the computer games. I am not saying we should not play computer games, but we should not addict to it.
