在一个月光皎洁的夜晚，我们全家人围坐在院子里其乐融融，共享天伦，打破了整个夜晚的宁静。

我提议说：“我们来猜谜语吧。”大家一致赞同。先由我来给大家猜，我随口说道：“一口咬掉尾巴，猜一个字。”弟弟连忙说：“‘牛’去掉上面一竖不时中午的‘午’吗？你出的谜语太简单了。”我得意地说：“你猜错了，我说的是牛尾巴，不时牛头，你把牛头去掉，那算什么？”这时，大家都被逗得哈哈大笑。经过我的提醒，弟弟恍然大悟：“我知道了，把‘牛’的下面一竖去掉，换成‘口’就是‘告’。”我用赞许的目光看了看弟弟：“机灵鬼，答对了。”

接下来该轮到妈妈出谜语了，她想了想说：“一个日本人，拿着一把刀，杀了一口人，留下四滴血，猜一个字。”这时，弟弟因为刚刚答对了一题，高兴地把椅子一翘，摔了一跤，那狼狈不堪的样子逗得我们捧腹大笑。而妈妈却悠然自得地嗑着瓜子。我想，妈妈出的谜语是四句话，就应该是四个部分组成的字，突然，我想到了答案，急忙说：“我知道了，是照明的‘照’，‘日’‘刀’‘口’拼起来就是‘照’的上半部分，四滴血就是四点底，对吧？”这时的我得意极了······猜谜语游戏在一片欢声笑语中结束了。

今天的夜晚是多么美好，多么幸福啊！

我的爸爸是一名工人，每天起早贪黑的工作。有时到了晚上12：00才回来，爸爸每天这么辛苦的工作，都是为了我和姐姐能够好好学习。爸爸我一定会努力学习的!我的妈妈是一个合格的家庭主妇，每天，我和姐姐都要逃避妈妈的唠叨。她每天下班回来唠叨的话，我都快背下来了：作业写完了没有?写完了让你姐姐检查检查，快点吃饭，一会儿吃完饭再看会儿书，早点睡觉，明天好得早起呢，上学别迟到了……唉，妈妈如果不唠叨晚上都不着觉，都快把我和姐姐的耳朵唠叨出茧子了。

我的姐姐是个聪明的女孩，这不去年考高中，她就被录取了。不过我姐姐很胖你看才18岁就120多斤，唉，谁也没办法，不过我姐姐给自己设计了一个减肥表，比如：早上起床转一个小时的呼啦圈，中午不吃荤之类的。可是这样还没几天，我姐姐就坚持不住了，那天晚上我姐姐就把冰箱吃了个空，这不体重又增重了不少，唉，谁来救救她啊!我，是家里的开心果，如果我不在，家里就冷清清的，只有我在家里才会充满欢笑与快乐，所以我爸爸就不让我出门，唉，整天闷在家里也不是个办法呀!我就悄悄的跑出去玩，有时候趁爸爸午睡的时候跑出去，有时候趁爸爸不在家的时候，反正他也不知道，哈哈!

Early rising benefits us in many ways.

First, it helps to keep us fit. We all need fresh air. Besides, by taking morning exercises we can improve our health.

Second, it can help us in our studies. In the morning we can learn more quickly.

Third, it can enable us to plan our work for the day. We cannot work well without a proper plan. Early rising can also give us enough time to get ready for our work.

So we say that those who always get up late should make great effort to get up early.

As it’s known to all, China is popular for its emperor of bicycles. This is

because our country is still a developing country and few people can afford

private cars. The demand for a means of transport is met by making millions of

bicycles available.

Riding a bicycle has a lot of advantages over driving a car. First, it is a

physical exercise to ride a bicycle. In contrast, sitting in the car, one tends

to gain weight. Besides, it is much more economical to ride a bike than drive a

car. On the one hand, the only fee a bike-rider has to pay is the annual tax.

However, the annual fees for a car are costly. On the other hand, a bike neednt

be equipped with a parking lot, but a car must. Most important of all, it is

beneficial to the environment to ride a bicycle because the bike doesnt consume

petrol; it is a pollution-free transport. In contrast, the exhaust released by

the car is harmful to the environment.

Since China is a developing country with a large population, bicycles will

still be the most popular means of transport in China for quite a long time.

Most people will still ride bicycles to go to work or to school. The emperor

country of bicycles will remain for at least dozens of years.

I used to be fond of skating. But now things have changed because of a horrible experience.

One winter, the weather was so cold that water turned into ice. One day on my way home, when seeing a frozen lake, I thought that the ice must be thick enough to support me. Being so interested in skating, I couldnt help going down and sliding on the ice. Suddenly, I heard a sound of crack. Looking down, I saw the crack on the ice surface. I was frightened out of my life and didnt dare to move. But nobody could help me. I had to move toward the bank carefully.

As soon as I got onto the bank, the ice broke. How horrible it was! Even ifit has been a long time since then, I can still feel the fear. And I no longer like skating since then.

我曾经非常喜欢滑冰。但现在事情发生了变化,因为一次可怕的经历。

一年冬天,天气太冷,水变成冰。有一天在我回家的路上,看到一个冻湖的时候,我认为必须冰厚度足以支持我。因为喜欢滑冰,我忍不住跑下来,在冰上滑行。突然,我听到一个裂缝的声音。向下一看,我看到冰面上的裂缝。我吓坏了,不敢移动。但是没有人能帮助我。我不得不小心翼翼地向岸边挪动。

我一到银行,冰了。这一切是多么的可怕!即使过去了很久,我仍然可以感觉到恐惧。从那时起,我不再喜欢滑冰了。

A Happy Family

I have a kind mother。 She is a primary school teacher。 She loves her pupils and her job very much and puts all her heart into her work。 All our clothes are made by tailors， for she is too busy to sew for us。 As a housewife， she has to do almost all the housework。 So she is the busiest one in our family。

I love my family。 It not only gives me much happiness and warmth but also teaches me how to be a real man。

平常，我们家人总是马不停蹄，上班上课团团转，一到了假日，大家都很懒散，懒得一句话也不说，躲在温暖的被窝，睡到自然醒。把脚步放慢，聆听轻松的音乐，好好品味美味的早餐，这就是最美好幸福时光的开始。

难得的假日时光，全家一起出游去，体验一下原始的生活，爸爸负责搭帐篷，搭得手忙脚乱、满头大汗；妈妈孤军奋战做午餐，快快来帮忙，姐姐挑菜我洗菜，合作无间真不赖！一起料理幸福的佳肴。

躲在舒适的帐蓬里，数着天上的星星，漫山遍野的萤火虫，像会飞舞的钻石，把整个山谷全照亮；蟋蟀和青蛙，为整个浪漫的夜晚，谱出热闹的交响曲，一声一声又一声，让我进入甜美的梦乡。

美好的家庭时光，需要大家共同营造，把忙碌的脚步，课业、工作的繁忙，全都抛到九霄云外！让我们一起拥抱家人的温暖，一起分享彼此的欢乐与幸福，徜徉在这欢笑的天地。

Mike is bad at English. Yesterday, he had an English test. He failed again. He dared not tell his mother the low marks. On his way home, it rained heavily. So he got a good idea.

When his mother asked about the marks, Mike showed the paper to his mother with an embarrassed smile.
