Last night ,I dreamed I became a very beautiful brid. I dreamed that I was in a forest. In tht forest,there were a lot of animals. Then,an old bird told us,"we have a very beautiful forest,we should therefore protect it from pollution. "All the animals agreed with him.

But the second day,people came into our forest. Many animals were caught. The people wanted to build house and parks in our forest. Many old trees were felled. And then suddenly,nothing was left standing.

laba rice porridge was first introduced to china in the song dynasty about 900 years ago.

buddhism was well accepted in the areas inhabited by the han chinese, who believed that sakyamuni the first buddha and founder of the religion, attained enlightenment on the eighth day of the twelfth month. sutras were chanted in the temples and rice porridge with beans, nuts and dried fruit was prepared for the buddha. with the passing of time the custom extended, especially in rural areas where peasants would pray for a plentiful harvest in this way.

there is, however, another touching story: when sakyamuni was on his way into the high mountains in his quest for understanding and enlightenment, he grew tired and hungry. exhausted from days of walking, he fainted away by a river in india. a shepherdess found him there and fed him her lunch -- porridge made with beans and rice. sakyamuni was thus able to continue his journey.

Which is more important, health or wealth? When given this question, different people have varied answers. Some insist that health plays a more important role in our life, while others see more advantages arising from wealth.

健康和财富,哪个更重要?当这个问题被提出来的时候,不同的人有不同的答案。有些人坚持认为,在我们生活中,健康扮演者更为重要的角色,然而其他人认为健康能带给我们更多利益。

The first group of people quote the old saying "Health is above wealth" to prove their idea. They argue that, on the one hand, a strong person can do almost anything as long as he/she tries hard. On the other hand, however, rich people will not be able to enjoy the wealth if their days are numbered.

支持健康更重要的人引用了一句俗语“健康就是财富”来证明他们的观点(是正确的)。他们认为,在某一方面来说,强壮的人,只要他们肯努力,那他们几乎能做任何事情。可是,从另一方面来说,如果有钱人活着的日子屈指可数的话,那他们将没法享受健康。

In contrast, the advocates of wealth have such arguments as follows. For one thing, wealthy people will be able to buy more healthful foods. For another, they can enjoy better facilities to improve their health. Take my neighbor, Lao Wang, as an example. He had a heart attack and is in hospital. However, he cannot afford the expensive operation, which costs as much as 100,000 yuan. Therefore, he has to lie in bed hopelessly. If he were a rich man, his life could be saved.

相反地,支持财富更为重要的人就有以下的争论。首先,有钱的人能买到更有益健康的食物。其次,他们可以享受能提高健康的设备。举个例子来说,我的邻居老王,他有严重的心脏病,并且正在住院(接受治疗)。可是,他没办法负担高达100,000的手术治疗费.因此,他只能毫无希望地躺在病床上。如果他是一个有钱人,那他就能得到治疗。

As far as I am concerned, both health and wealth are important to our life. We should try to strike a balance between them and gain wealth with a healthy body.

我认为,健康和财富对我们生活都很重要。我们应该努力试着在这两者之间做到平衡,并将财富与健康的身体相伴。

关于饲养宠物,有的人认为这既浪费时间也浪费金钱,而有的人则认为这是乐趣所在。至于我,我认为养宠物能带来快乐。

Firstly, keeping pets can keep us company when we feel lonely。 As we know that it is impossible for us to stay with others all the time, and sometimes we have to stay all by ourselves。 At this time we may feel lonely, if you have a pet, it will help to keep company with you。 You can play with your pet and regard it as your friend。

首先,宠物能在我们感觉孤独是陪伴我们,因为我们不可能时刻都有人相伴左右,而有的时候我们更愿意独处,这个时候可能会感觉孤独,如果有宠物,它就会是很好的陪伴。我们可以和动物一起玩,可以把它当朋友。

Secondly, keeping pets makes our world more harmonious。 Animals are good friends to us human beings; it will make our world more harmonious to build friendship with them。

其次,宠物能让世界更和谐。动物是人类的好朋友,和动物建立朋友的关系将会使我们的世界更加和谐。

Last but not least, keeping pets makes us more patience。 Animal needs careful cares, and we need bath them, feed them and take them out every day, which is time consuming。 If we have a pet and can do that every day, we will become more patient。

最后,动物会使我们更有耐心。动物需要细心的照料,我们要给它洗澡、喂饭,还要每天带出去遛遛,这都很费时。如果我们有宠物,并每天这样照料它,我们会更有耐心的。

In a word, keeping pets can keep us company, make our world more harmonious and make us more patient, so I think it is a great for us to keep pets。

总的来说,宠物能陪伴我们,让我们的世界更加和谐,并锻炼我们的耐心,所以我认为养宠物对于我们来说是很好的。
