According to the report that most children in the family don’t have to the housework, because their parents have done all the work for them. When students go to middle school, it means they are not the little girls and little boys anymore, they have grown up and it is time for them to learn to be independent. Doing the housework and reducing the parents’ burden help the children to be mature, what’s more, the parents should not overprotect their kids all the time, they can give some jobs to the children and lead them to be independent. Doing the housework is not a big deal, but it is the attitude to life.

据报道,大多数孩子在家里不用做家务,因为他们的父母为他们做了所有的工作。当学生进入中学,这意味着他们不是小女孩和小男孩,他们已经长大了,是时候让他们学会独立。做家务和减少父母的负担帮助孩子成熟,更重要的是,父母不应该过度保护他们的孩子,他们可以给孩子们一些工作,让他们独立。做家务不是一个大问题,但它是一种对生活的态度。

大家好，我是你们的导游刘欣玥，欢迎来长城游玩。接下来我将带着你们一起去浏览壮丽雄伟的万里长城。万里长城是我国重点文物保护单位，于1987年12月被列入世界遗产名录。

大家看，我们的左边就是长城了。长城全长一万三千多里，有人走完全程竟花了五百多天！从春秋战国时期的一段长城，到秦朝被连接起来，又经过三千多年的风雨，修筑，让我们看到了现在的明朝长城。

我们现在来到的就是长城中最著名的一段――八达岭长城。我们脚踩着的城墙顶有十米宽，全都是用条石和城砖筑成的。这些条石、城砖，一块就有两三千斤重。那时没有起重机、火车和汽车，就靠着劳动人民的手和脚，一步一步地扛上这崇山峻岭。城墙外沿有两米多高的垛子，垛子上有些方形的洞口是射箭口，边上的凹口是瞭望口，供射击和瞭望使用。古代人民的聪慧让人赞叹。千年以前的这里，战士们严阵以待，站在长城上。这时，远方烟尘四起，敌人趁着天刚蒙蒙亮，向这这冲来。战士们先在瞭望口瞭望，知道敌军的位置，再把箭搭到射口，向敌人发起猛烈的射击。如果抵挡不住，还会在峰火台上放狼烟，每隔三百多米就有一个，这样，使在千里之外的京城也能很快知道消息，搬来救兵。现在长城已经是中华民族的象征了！

现在，大家可以自己去玩了。但是要注意不要在长城上涂画，不要乱扔东西，注意安全，管好自己的小孩和贵重物品，两个小时后在这里集合。谢谢！

Food

safety has been closely watched, because our everyday life simply can not do

without food. Everyone knows this, but always some people again, lets worry

about it, whether our food safety and health.

Recently

of malachite green, Sudan red, and so on have been "destroyed" and are these

hearts duck eggs, and havent been solved completely. But even if they now have

to solve, but we also have to worry about "they" will not back not just in the

future? Thought of here, I cant help but think constantly behind the scenes

"make" the food of a few to endanger the safety of life. So I just sent a such

doubts are these people for the sake of what? I want to or for a word - money,

money is the devils bait. Because of the money, how many times this happened in

the world of murder, robbery and theft? Who would have thought such a sum of

money, is want to jail and the court criminal "supplier"?

Is

because the money has arisen: artificial sweetener, saccharin sodium, cyclamate

and preservatives (sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate), etc. The use of food

additives. Therefore, I very want to some people dont understand, how many

people did their "product" harm? There are a lot of people after eating these

so-called "health and safe food" and diarrhea and vomiting, and even lost his

life!

However,

I think, in addition to criticise those who only know to make money and people

who do not care about their health and safety, we also need to improve their

awareness.

Such

as: apple too shiny instructions may be played in a wax. White spot on the

grapes too much may be excessive pesticide use.

These

instructions, defense artificially added chemicals in food, some harmful

substance is but with the naked eye or simple method of inspection.

We

should pay attention to food safety, want to for the sake of our health and make

great efforts, to strive for the sake of our civilization.

食品安全一直倍受关注，因为我们的日常生活根本离不开食品。所有人都知道这一点，但又总一些人，让我们担心，我们的食品是否安全，是否卫生。

最近的孔雀石绿、苏丹红等这些是已经被“消灭”了还有红心鸭蛋等还没完全被解决的。不过就算它们现在已经给解决了，可是我们还要担心“它们”还会不会在不就的将来卷土重来呢?想到这里，我就不禁想到了在幕后不断“制造”这一些危害人生安全的食品的人。于是我就发出了这样的疑惑这些人是为了什么?我想还是为了一个字——钱，钱是魔鬼得意的诱饵。因为钱，这世界上发生过多少次的谋杀、抢劫和盗窃?谁能想到这么一张张的钱币，竟是想监狱和法庭输送罪犯的“供应商”?

也就是因为了钱产生了：人工合成甜味剂(糖精钠、甜蜜素)和防腐剂(苯甲酸钠、山梨酸钾)等食品添加剂的使用情况。因此，我十分的想些人明不明白，他们的“产品”危害了多少人?有许多的人因为吃了这些所谓的“卫生、安全食品”而上吐下泻乃至丢了性命的!

不过，我想，除了批评那些只知道赚钱而不顾及他们身体健康、安全的人以外，我们还要提高自己的防范意识!

如：苹果过于的`发亮说明苹果可能打过蜡。葡萄上的白斑过多可能就是农药使用过量。

这些说明，防御食品中人为的添加化学物质、有害物质有些是可是用肉眼或简单的方法检验出来的。

我们要关注食品安全，要为了我们的健康而努力，要为了我们的文明而努力。

MY SCHOOL LIFE 我的学校生活

When I was six years old, I began to go to school. The first school (which) I attended was a primary school. There were many subjects (which were taught in the school, such as Chinese, arithmetic, history, geography, drawing and so forth. Since I was (became) a student, I studied very hard. My parents were quite proud of me.

After I had studied there for three years, I entered a junior high school. When I was twelve years old, I became a student of a senior high school. I still studied very hard. Except on sick leave I was never absent from class. Everybody looked upon me as a model student.

我六岁的时候，就开始上学了。我第一个上的学校是一所国小。学校里教的课目有许多，诸如国文，算术，史地，画图等等。既然我是一个学生，我就用功读书。我父母深以我为荣。

我在那边读了三年后，就进入初中。我十二岁的时候，就成为一个高中的物理学。我依旧用功读书。除病假外，我永不缺课。人人都把我看作是一个模范生。

A new year,a new start,when i stand on the edge of a new year,i cant help thinking about my plan of next year.

just as the old saying:"well began is the half of the success.”so i decide that i should be at work while the others are still relaxing,and then,at the beginning,im quicker than the others and of course i will get better result than the others.

But,what i really decide to do is that i must make good of anytime i can spare though it seems impossible. while,i will do my best to live up with what i have planned,and the result will prove it.

新的一年，新的开始，当我在新的一年的边缘立场，我不禁在想我明年的计划。

正如古人云：“好开始是成功的一半”，所以我决定，我应该是在工作，而另一些性传播疾病就会放松，然后，在开始时，我比其他人更快，我当然会得到比别人更好的结果。

但是，我真正决定做的是，我必须利用好，我可以随时备用，虽然它似乎是不可能的。虽然，我会尽我所能，用我生活已计划了，结果将证明这一点。

Everyone is good, I should be more obedient, I like green, blue in my heart is a symbol of freedom, happiness and loveliness. I wont be furious when Im angry, but I just face it.

Remember again, my deskmate clashed with another classmate, my deskmate fell in my bag, my bag is pressed by him, I was very angry, picked up his pen to fling caution to the winds and threw all of a sudden, pencil, pen, ruler of the fly.

Look at it! I can lose my temper in some times, but most of the time will be very obedient. Are you willing to be my friend?

Though there are no exact figures for the ecotourism segment， a government-sponsored push for rural tourism usually involving staying with farmers has become popular in China in recent years.

虽然生态旅游方面还没有确切的统计数据，不过近年来由政府资助推出的乡村旅游项目却已在中国广受欢迎。

今天我到下面院子里玩的时候，看见天上的云很像棉花糖，我就想飞上天吃云，可我没有飞行器，飞不了啊，飞机也不行，主要是我不知道云会不会一站在上面就掉到地上?我要登天是不太可能的。长大以后我要当科学家，做一艘火箭飞上天，去试一下云朵是什么味道。

Today, when I went to play in the yard below, I saw that the clouds in the

sky were like marshmallows. I wanted to fly to the sky and eat the clouds. But I

didnt have an aircraft. I couldnt fly. I couldnt fly either. I didnt know if

the cloud would fall to the ground as soon as I stood on it. Its impossible for

me to go to the sky. When I grow up, I want to be a scientist. I want to be a

rocket and fly to the sky. I want to try the taste of

clouds.

In this beautiful world, whether in the noisy city, or quiet nature, a grass, a thing here, perhaps, will give us enjoy feeling. And the most let me intoxicated is spring field.

Spring, like a cute little doll, is new from head to foot. Dairy queen is leaving, elderly her, carrying snow, with the wind, walking slowly, and spring baby son standing on the swallow skipping went away. Who also dont know where spring from the doll with a bigger brush, little painted green fields; Who also dont know, from where a big kettle, sprinkle spring rain on the earth, wake up the objects in the field.

Just wake up the seeds in the ground to live a nights sleep, now the whole body strength. They are to grow in the soil. Curiously looked on the earth, cant wait to grow up, want to quickly get higher, good to see farther.

Spring, like a lovely little girl, love her make spring more beautiful. Connect the flower asperses full the seeds of the field, the fragrance of the flowers to the field and in the fields, flowers. You wont let me, I wont let you, in this way, the field in this competition, become beautiful, fragrant.

In spring, like a strong young again, full of vitality. Robust, he is quite a hard body, therefore, the objects in the field, flat. A piece of green. His stout body, filled with new, tender leaves, show the charm of spring field towards us!

Spring field, it is unique! Is not unique in noisy city scenery!

在这一个美丽的世界里，不管是喧闹的城市，还是宁静的大自然，这里的一草、一物，或许，都会给我们陶醉的感觉。而最让我陶醉的是春天的田野。

春天，像一个可爱的小娃娃，从头到脚都是新。冰雪皇后要走了，年迈的她，背着雪，背着风，慢慢地走了，而春娃娃儿站在小燕子上蹦蹦跳跳地走了。谁也不知道春娃娃从哪里拿来了一个大画笔，一点点把田野画成绿色;谁也不知道，从哪里拿来了一个大水壶，把春天的雨洒在大地上，叫醒田野里的一草一木。

刚刚醒来的种子们在地下舒舒服服的睡了一觉，现在满身的劲。它们在泥土中往外生长。在泥土上好奇地张望着，迫不及待地长大，想快快变高，好看看更远的风景。

春天，像一个可爱的小姑娘，爱美的她让春天更美丽。春姑娘把鲜花的种子洒满田野，把鲜花的芬芳送给了田野，在田野里，百花齐放。你不让我，我不让你，就这样，田野就在这竞争中，变美丽，变芬芳。

春天，又像一个强壮的青年，富有活力。健壮的他，拼命挺着身体，因此，田野里的一草一木，平平整整。绿油油的一片。他那样粗壮的身体上，长满了新的，嫩嫩的叶子，正向我们展示春天田野的魅力呢!

春天的田野，是别具一格的!是在喧闹城市里所没有的独特风景!

Hello ！welcome to the special Chinese new years edition of discovering China. Im Alina Li and Im Ben Hedges, and today well be taking you through some of the most important traditions of Chinese new year and historical background. We will look at some of the legends behind Chinese new year and how to celebrate it. Here in the US and Chinese across the world.

The Chinese have specific way to celebrate their new year. If you walk down the street in Chinatown during Chinese New Year, you see a variety of ancient traditions such as red banners, firecrackers and lion dance performances, streets are filled with lively celebration.

However, legend has said that the new year has not always been a time of festivity. An Asian Chinese story told a chilly start to this festive holiday, it begins with an ancient Chinese beast called Nian.

Every New Year Nian would rise from swelling in the sea to ravage Chinese village in livestock and hurting people. The villages soon found out from a wise gray-haired old man that the only way to scare the beast away was to set off firecrackers and light lamps and to hang red banners on each door. As the story goes, this was the beginning of a tradition that would last thousands of years.

So this story leads to the creation of many of other traditions for celebrating Chinese New Year. lets take a look at some of these traditions.

Today I found time was a cruel thing.Whatever man is,time always goes on.It

won’t stay to wait for somebody.You can’t use anything to exchange time.Time is

also a fair thing.Although you have a lot of money or you enjoy comfortable

life.time won’t leave them more.

今天我发现时间是一个很残酷的东西,无论是什么人,时间总是会无情的流逝.它不会停止去等待任何一个人,你不能用任何东西去改变时间.时间也是公平的,尽管你拥有再多的金钱或者享受着安逸的生活,时间都不会让它长久.

Spring Festival is the most important festival for Chinese people. The Spring Festival is very exciting, especially on the eve of the Spring Festival.

春节对于中国人来说是最重要的节日。在每年的春节都让人兴高采烈，尤其是大年三十那晚，更是达到了高潮。

The Spring Festival lasts for 15 days, there would be starting on the first day, to the end of the January 15 Lantern Festival.it is the busiest time of the year for Chinese people. The arrangements they have to make for family reunions， buying necessities and preparing food keeps them busy throughout the holiday. Many of them travel back home and meet friends over dinner and drinks. The celebrations include decorating the house and setting off fireworks.But we are talking about a tradition that seems to be fading.

春节一共有15天，从大年初一开始，到元月十五元宵节这一天结束。在这段比较长的时间是中国人最忙的时候，他们为家庭聚会作安排，采购年货，准备丰盛的食物，以至于整个春节假期都忙忙碌碌的。许多人在春季期间都要回老家过年，跟朋友碰碰头，聚个餐。庆祝春节也包括大扫除和放烟火。但是我们现在要谈的是越来越淡的年味。

Spring Festival， as it is celebrated today， has undergone many changes， thanks to the country‘s economic development and globalization.

现在的春节已经因为我国经济的发展和全球化的影响而改变了很多。

Yet no Spring Festival is complete without food. People could not get good food whenever they desired in earlier times， something that does not apply to society today. More often than not， people faced the risk of famine. The best time for people to celebrate was when food was available in plenty， and that was possible in spring， or the beginning of the lunar new year. That was the main reason why Spring Festival acquired such great importance among Chinese people.

但是没有哪个春节是完全离得开“吃”的。从前，不论人们提前多久想要买年货，总是不能如愿，而现在早已今非昔比。过去常常还要闹饥荒。人们最好的庆祝时间就是他们能得到食物丰盛的时候，也就是春天或是元月初的那段时间。那也是为什么春节对于中国人如此重要的主要原因。

But three decades of economic growth has ensured that people in China， except for those who are still poor， can enjoy a good meal whenever they want. Such has been the change in people‘s fortune that some have to be treated for obesity and other health problems associated with excessive eating.

但是三十年来的经济发展已经让中国人，除了那些仍然穷苦的人以外，随时都能享受美食。这得益于人民财富的增长，但是后者也导致一些人吃得太多而受到肥胖威胁和健康问题。

In the past， celebrations were limited to events like song-and-dance duets in North China， dragon/lion dances in South China and fireworks， which required the joint efforts of the entire community. But economic development and urbanization seems to have weakened the social links among people. Many， especially those living in cities， are not interested in celebrating the festival with people they hardly know.

在过去，庆祝春节还只停留在北方的二人转和南方的舞龙舞狮等形式。那些庆祝活动往往需要许多人合力才能办得起来。但是经济的发展和国际化程度的提升似乎已经将这种社会联系弱化了。许多人，特别是城市居民，不太愿意与不相识的人一起共度春节。

Many customs associated with Spring Festival have changed， too. In the past， people used to visit relatives and friends with gifts and lots of good wishes. Today， many people， especially the youth， use their cell phones or the Internet to send their good wishes and even "gifts" to their relatives and friends. Some may say this a sign that people have become less caring about their near and dear ones， but we should see this development as a time- and energy-saving exercise granted by the information age.

与春节相关的许多习俗也被改变了。在过去，人们常常会带着礼物走亲访友，互道祝福。今天许多人，特别是年轻人，用手机或是网络向亲朋好友发去“礼物”和祝福。有些人或许会说，这说明人们已经没有那么关心至爱亲朋了，但是我们应该把这种变化看作信息化时代省钱省力的好办法。

In recent times， many people have started praying for a career promotion or more money instead of invoking God or the Buddha for a healthy and long life and the welfare of their family. But the number of such people is decreasing now， which shows that people are becoming more reasonable.

最近几年，许多人开始祈祷事业高升，财源滚滚，而不是求神拜佛，他们身体健康，长命百岁，家庭美满。但是这样的人数现在正在减少，说明人们开始变得更加理性。

There are so many people talking about how much their mother love them，whereas seldom people realize how much love their father give fact，father＇s love is as strong as mother＇s，but normally，fathers are not very good of expressing their er＇s love is deep and silent，that＇s why most people think their father love them you carefully go through your childhood memory，you will notice your father is always there when you need them，though they never said it out loud how much they love you，father＇s like a shelter when the storm coming，father＇s like a door when there is danger outside，father is someone no matter how you treat him，he will choose to bear all the pressure and let you please cheer for the love of father！

有那么多的人在谈论他们的母亲有多爱他们，而很少有人意识到他们的父亲有多爱他们。事实上，父亲的爱和母亲的爱一样强烈，但通常情况下，父亲并不善于表达自己的感情。父亲的爱是深沉而沉默的，这就是为什么大多数人认为父亲不那么爱他们。如果你仔细地翻阅童年的记忆，你会注意到你的父亲总是在你需要他们的时候出现，尽管他们从来没有大声说出他们有多么爱你，父亲就像暴风雨来临时的庇护所，父亲就像外面有危险时的门，父亲是一个无论你怎样对待他的人，他都会选择承受一切压力，让你自由。所以请为父亲的爱欢呼吧！
