human life can not continue without science and technology. for many years, human society has developed with the advance of science and technology while the development of science and technology has in turn brought the process to mankind. so the life we are living now is more civilized than that of our fore fathers.

the development of science and technology have brought about many changes in peoples life. for eample, the invention of television and space rocket have opened a new era for mankind. through the use of tv people can hear the sound and learn the events happening thousands of miles away. owing to the invention of spaceship and rocket, the dream of mans landing on the moon has now come true.

How I Spent My Summer Vacation The summer vacation had come round again. I was happy that I could forget about school at least for a while. Lest I fool around all through this summer vacation, I made a plan as to how to spend it. First, I thought I should go over all those things my teachers taught in the previous term so that I could have a better understanding of them. Then I thought I should take up some forms of exercise, such as walking, running rowing, to keep me physically strong. It stood to reason that with such a good plan I should make the best of my vacation time. I did, because I lived up to what I had planned.

With the communication between nations, Christmas Day is more and more popular among people. Christmas Day is on 25th, December, which is the biggest and best-loved holiday in the United States.

Christmas Day celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ, the founder of Christianity religion. “Christmas” means “celebration of Christ”. On that day, people decorate Christmas tree with candies and presents. There is a popular saying about Christmas tree. A farmer served a poor child with delicious food. When the child left, he put a branch into soil and the branch turned into a big tree at once. He pointed at the tree and said that the tree will be full of presents to reward you on that day every year.

Santa Claus is the most popular people on that day. It is a custom to act Santa Claus. Before children go to bed on Christmas Eve, they will put a sock on stove and wait the Santa Claus to put presents into it. So Christmas Day is one of the favorable festivals for children.

On Christmas Day, the whole families sit at a big table under Christmas tree to eat dinner. They value it very much. Christmas songs mainly include three songs: Jingle Bells, Silent Night and Hark! The Herald Angles sing.

Jingle Bells, Silent Night and Hark! The Herald Angles sing.

Now, we know more about the Christmas Day. Do you like that day?

May Day is coming, it is my bad day. Mother again and again, again and again said to me: "you should labor labor, labor day dont rock the boat at home."

And I dont take it seriously, everywhere to beat at home. Mother saw it, and cried: you dont rock the boat here, give me sweep the floor! so I just casually to sweep up, my left and a right swing, in a short time is just like my mom said to me he was finished. Mother saw the dust of the ground, angry criticism way: "do you still like this, nothing. You still washing clothes!" I was puzzled: "why always let me do the housework? Forget it, forget it, is it not washing clothes, washing." The same careless I wash up, clothes are dirty! Wash is about the same. Im beat!

Mother saw the clothes, do a piece of a piece of stains, crestfallen said: "you still cant change the bad habits, forget it, you play go!" "Bad habits? Is there?" I keep thinking, suddenly enlighted, originally the live mother do every day, and a bitter didnt shout, I so long to do once, complained bitterly. Mother is really hard!

五一劳动节来了，又是我的倒霉日子了。妈妈再三再四的跟我说：“劳动节你应该劳动劳动，不要在家里捣乱。”

而我却不把这件事当回事，到处在家里打打闹闹。妈妈看见了，大声叫道：‘’你别在这儿捣乱了，给我扫地去!‘’于是我就漫不经心地扫起地来，我左挥一下右挥一下，不一会儿就跟我妈妈说到我扫完了。妈妈看见了地上的灰尘，生气的批评道：“你还是这个样子，做什么事都不用心。你还是洗衣服吧!”我心里疑惑不解：“干吗总让我做家务?算了，算了，不就是洗衣服么，洗完就可以了。”我同样是漫不经心的洗起来，衣服真脏啊!洗洗就差不多了。真是累死我了!

妈妈又看见衣服上的污渍做一块有一块，垂头丧气的说：“你还是改不了这个坏毛病，算了，你玩儿你的去吧!”“坏毛病?有吗?”我反复思考起来，恍然大悟起来，原来这些活妈妈每天都做，而且一声苦都没喊，我这么长时间才做一次，就叫苦连天。妈妈真是辛苦啊!

老师是一本厚厚的书，里面有看不完的知识；老师是一把钥匙，为我们打开智慧的大门；老师是一艘船，带我们驶向成功之岸。我们班来了一位英语老师。他个子高高的，帅气的短发，乌黑的眉毛总会皱一下，大大的眼睛清澈得像两汪泉水，高挺的鼻梁，小麦色的皮肤构成了我们的英语老师。

他上课严肃，一丝不苟，回答同学问题时他耐心讲解。九月二日那天，当英语老师踏进门的那一刻，同学们个个坐好闭住了刚才还滔滔不绝的嘴。英语老师做了简单的自我介绍，就开始上课了。他一开口就把我给震住了，他说的真标准，一点也不逊色于外国人。由于老师教的太快了，我听得似懂非懂，其他同学也半懂半不懂。这一节课就这样稀里糊涂的上完了。我们的老师也很自恋。有一次他说：”你们用英文说我最喜欢的老师是英语老师。“我们就齐声说道：”My favorate teacher is my English teacher！“他笑开了花，说：”我知道你们最喜欢我！“怎样？我们的英语老师有意思吗？其实我们也真的很喜欢他！

今天是圣诞平安夜，是西方国家的节日，听爸爸说：“就相当于我们的大年三十。”我放学写完了作业，就想起了俞老师在课堂上问我们是否给爸爸妈妈准备一个圣诞礼物。我心想：“以前圣诞节都是爸爸妈妈给我礼物，今天我也要给他们一个惊喜!”

刚开始，我想：到底送什么礼物好呢?过了一会儿，我有了一个好主意：“做两张手工贺卡吧!”我在第一张贺卡上写上：i love you, mother !在第二张贺卡上写上：i love you, father !并在这两张贺卡上画上花边、雪人、圣诞树。写好画好之后，我突然听见了“咚咚”的脚步声，我惊慌失措、手忙脚乱，赶紧把两张贺卡压在屁股下面，因为这是“秘密行动”，决不能让爸爸妈妈知道，这样才有惊喜啊!一看，原来是妈妈要来打水洗脚，等妈妈洗完脚，我就大胆地拿出贺卡。一张放在爸爸明天要穿的皮鞋里，另一张放在妈妈明天要穿的高跟鞋里，等着给他们一个大惊喜! 爸爸妈妈看到了这份“特别”的礼物之后，都非常开心，连声说道：“龙龙长大了，知道给我们送礼物了!”这可是我第一次diy贺卡，虽然不算漂亮但是却包含着我暖暖的心意呢!妈妈激动地说：“这可是儿子第一次送礼物给我，我可要好好珍藏哦!”接着从包里变魔术般的拿出了一只大大的圣诞袜交给了我，我打开袜口一看，哇!装着满满一袋，全是我最爱吃的东西，太好啦!我兴奋地在妈妈脸上亲了好几下，爸爸也爽朗地笑了起来。

今年的圣诞是最有意义的一次圣诞。

the holiday called christmas is an amalgam of many winter holidays from around the world. the name is designated as a celebration of the birth of jesus, although the date is not recorded in the bible, and people at that time did not place particular important on birth dates. scientists say the actual date was june 17th, 2bc because of the appearance of the star that beckoned the magi. december 25th was set as the date for christmas in the 4th century by pope julius i as an attempt to christianize midwinter pagan holidays such as solstice and saturnalia. customs such as bringing evergreens inside, eating fat-laden foods, and hanging lights are universal responses to the cold, dark winter season. some of the stranger christmas traditions are remnants of those older pagan holidays, and some have been changed over the centuries until their origins are hard to discern. others were just made up to boost business!

krampus st. nicholas, father christmas, or santa claus is the weirdest christmas tradition ever, but he is so well known and so well documented that his origins are beyond the scope of this particular post. as a tool to encourage good behavior in children, santa serves as the carrot, and krampus is the stick. krampus is the evil demon anti-santa, or maybe his evil twin. krampus night is celebrated on december 5th, the eve of st. nicholas day in austria and other parts of europe. people dress as krampus and roam the streets looking for someone to beat with a stick. since it is also a night for drinking, the beatings probably don’t hurt much.

圣诞节是全世界冬季节日的集合。之所以取名为圣诞节，是为着纪念耶稣的诞生，尽管《圣经中》并未记载耶稣诞生的具体日期，那个时期的人对出生日期也不甚重视。科学家说，具体日期实为公元前2年6月17日，因为为在那一天，昭示东方三博士的星星出现了。公元前4世纪，为了把一些冬至时期的异教徒节日（如冬至日和农神节）基督教化，教皇尤利西斯一世把12月25日定为基督诞生日。而一些传统，如在屋内摆置常绿树，吃油脂丰富的食物，挂小灯，则是在寒冷阴暗的冬季之时，人们的普遍做法。还有一些更为奇特习俗，是古老异教节日的遗留物；一些历经几个世纪后，变化颇大，已难以溯及其源头；另外一些则是受商业利益驱使而生。

(“krampus游行”是巴伐利亚地区和阿尔卑斯山其他一些地区的传统活动，每年12月前后举行。krampus是圣诞老人的原型——圣人尼古拉斯的助手，在当地的传说中，他肩背一个装着礼物的大袋子，手拿一根棍子，好孩子可以收到他的礼物，顽皮的孩子则会被棍子敲打。)

The name of Christmas is short for “Christ Mass”. Christmas is a Christian holiday that celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ. In 4th century is a holiday for the church. By the 12th century, Christmas had become the most important religious festival in Europe. In 19th century, two Christmas customs became popular-decorating Christmas trees and sending Christmas cards to relatives and friends. Many well-known Christmas songs were written during this period.

For most people who celebrate Christmas, this is a special holiday for gathering of family and friends, enjoying delicious foods, and giving gifts. A traditional Christmas dinner in American includes stuffed turkey, mashed potatoes and so on. One of the most important Christmas traditions is receiving gifts from Santa Claus. Today, Santa Claus brings presents to children in many countries, including the Unites States, Canada, Great Britain and Australia

"We wish you a merry Christmas, we wish you a merry Christmas"Have you heard that song? Yup! Its Christmas time! This Christmas, I stayed with my "host family"1. It was an amazing experience to see how a typical American family would celebrate the biggest western festival of the year.

Christmas, like our Spring Festival, has a meaning in itself. Christmas Day, which is on December 25, is the birthday of Jesus Christ--the son of God. Thats why it is called Christmas. On that day, Christians would get together with their families to celebrate the birthday of Jesus. But nowadays, the religious meaning of Christmas has become less emphasized. To many families, it is just a time of family reunion and the ever-exciting present-giving.

Our school had been on winter vacation since December 11. I stayed at my friend, Stephen Stapczynskis house--his family was my "host family". Although Christmas was still more than ten days ahead, the festive spirit had already been teeming everywhere. The Christmas tree had already been set up, and on every windowsill, there were Christmas lights. On the first day I arrived at their house, Stephen and I helped Mrs. Stapczynski put decorations on the Christmas tree. The tree looked so nice with all the lights on and the beautiful ornaments dangling from its branches.

As Christmas came closer, the whole neighborhood had made preparations too. Some people would hold parties at their houses, inviting all their neighbors to come. So every night, if you went out, you would see a long line of cars parked in front of some house--a partys on!

Whats more, the Christmas decorations that some people put on their windows and in gardens were just amazing. On one night, we went out in our car for a "tour of lights". There was one street that was so famous for its lights that it got its way into the local paper. We had a hard time finding the well-hidden street, but it turned out to be worth the effort. Lights shone brightly in front of nearly every house, on trees, bushes, doors, windowseverywhere, taking different shapes, making it seem almost like daytime. Huge inflatable figures in the front gardens were waving to us: there were Santa Clauses2, of course, chuckling merrily away; and there were also other Christmas figures, like Rudolph3--the red-nosed reindeer--with his red nose gleaming ever so brightly; even Bart Simpson--a character in the famous comedy The Simpsons--had joined the jolly party, wearing a Santas hat. The street set off a lot of "ooh"s and "aah"s inside the car.4 When we left, there was a line of cars in the street, all there to see the lights.

Christmas is the time for exchanging presents. Stephen and Niko had been thinking about their Christmas lists (a list of things they wish "Santa"to give them for Christmas) for a long time. I didnt want to ask for anything, but the Stapczynskis were so kind to "force"me make one list as well (Mr. Stapczynski told me if I didnt make one he would chop off my legs). So I wrote down a couple of things that I would like to have, and gave the list to them--sorry, my mistake--to Santa.

Finally, Christmas Eve came. There was a special Christmas service at the church at 6 p.m. It was certainly a very interesting experience for me. The priest started the service reading and sang out extractions from a holy book--The Divine Liturgy. For several times, we would stand up and pray.

Sometimes, the church choir would start singing. The atmosphere was very quiet and holy. Then there was a ceremony called "The Receiving Communion". People waited in line to "receive"a spoonful of food from the priest. It was a very special Christmas tradition. The food was made from bread and wine. The bread represents the body of Jesus, and the wine represents his blood. After this ceremony, the priest had a speech. He reminded us not to forget the true meaning of Christmas, and let Jesus really live inside us--that is, to love the people around us wholeheartedly. I think that no matter if you are a Christian or not, this principle should be part of our lives. After the priest finished his speech, the part that I enjoyed most came: Christmas carols5. Christmas carols are songs that people sing at Christmas, such as "Jingle Bells", "We Wish You a Merry Christmas", "Silent Night"and so on. Some were very merry, others sounded quite holy, but all of them were beautiful. I closed my eyes, and let all the peacefulness and happiness that were in the songs flow through me. What a feeling it was!

We went to sleep earlier that day for we had to get up early on Christmas Day to open our presents. Sure enough, when I was still half-way during a sweet dream, Stephen burst into my room and told me to get up and open presents. There were a huge pile of presents under the Christmas tree, and there was such a mysterious mist shrouding them that made me eager to see what they all were. So one by one, we went through all the presents. Mr. and Mrs. Stapczynski had bought me everything I had written on my Christmas list--and a lot more! I got music CDs, film DVDs, clothes, books I was very happy, and I didnt know how to express my appreciation for what they had done for me.

Stephen and Niko had gotten a lot of presents too, and they had already been trying out their new games!

In the afternoon, we went to Mrs. Stapczynskis brother, Uncle Stans house. They had prepared a marvelous meal for us. A lot of their friends and relatives also came. I saw Stephen and Nikos grandparents, Yiayia and Papou (words of grandma and grandpa in Greek--Mrs. Stapczynskis parents came from Greece, so they like the boys using Greek words to call them). They were very kind to me, and treated me just like one of their family members. We had a very luxurious meal, consisting of turkey, beef, pork, and all sorts of other food.

After the meal, when all the stomachs were full and everyone was feeling drowsy6 from all the food, we just sat around the table and chatted, just like what we Chinese people do at the Spring Festival. After all, Christmas, like the Spring Festival, is a time for us to get away from our busy lives, a time for family gathering, and a time to have some fun.

Today following with economy ， Science and technology‘s devolop , we human are destorying the environment.

But we must know we have only a world ,if its broken we havent any places to live. So we cant leave it along,we should do something to stop it.

To make it ,we should do anything from ourselves ,such as not waste water or electic power etc.

Besides it we should persuade people joining us as more as posible.

If every one can do this our world will be more beatiful and tomorrow is another day.

今天，随着经济、科技的发展，人类破坏环境。

但我们必须知道我们只有一个世界，如果它破碎了，我们就没有生存的地方。所以我们不能离开它，我们应该做些什么来阻止它。

要做到这一点，我们应该从自己做的任何事情，如不浪费水、电等。

此外，我们应该说服人们加入我们尽可能。

如果每个人都这样做我们的世界会更美丽，明天又是新的一天。
