您谆谆的教诲，化作我脑中的智慧，胸中的热血，行为的规范……我感谢您，感谢您对我的精心培育。

真空、坚定、谦逊、朴素――这是您教给我唱的歌，这是您指引我走的人生之路。

有一道彩虹，不出现在雨后，也不出现在天空，它常出现在我心中，鞭策着我堂堂正正地做人――给时刻关怀着我的导师!

老师，感谢您用自己的生命之光，照亮了我人生的旅途。

父母给了我躯体，您给了我灵魂。亲爱的老师，感恩节快乐!

您不是演员，却吸引着我们饥渴的目光;您不是歌唱家，却让知识的清泉叮咚作响，唱出迷人的歌曲;您不是雕塑家，却塑造着一批批青年人的灵魂……老师啊，我怎能把您遗忘!

您对我们严格要求，并以自己的行动为榜样。您的规劝、要求，甚至命令，一经提出，便要我们一定做到，然而又总使我们心悦诚服，自觉行动。这就是您留在我心中的高大形象。老师，祝您感恩节快乐，谢谢您!

啊，老师――人类灵魂的工程师，唯有这光辉的名字，才有着像大海一样丰富、蓝天一样深湛的内涵!

Nian Gao:The northerners eat Jiao Zi, but southerners like to eat Nian Gao, which translates to "New Year Cake". In Chinese, Gao is a homonym for high. Nian Gao is also called Nian Nian Gao, which is a homonym for "higher each year", symbolizing progress and promotion at work and in daily life and improvement in life year by year.

Nian Gao is a sweet, sticky, brown cake made from rice flour and sugar, a kind of glutinous white cake in the shape of rectangle. Often given as a gift, it is delicious when steamed, fried, fried with eggs or even eaten cold.

Given the importance of food in Chinese culture, it is not surprising that food plays a major role in Chinese New Year celebrations. "Lucky" foods are served through the two week Chinese New Year celebration, also called the Spring festival.

1994年11月17日那天，我和妹妹艾斯丽、哥哥斯科特呆在家里。那天我们只有半天课。我喜欢呆在家里，愉快地度过这一天。时间过得很快，到了下午3:30。妈妈本该在一小时前回来。我有些担心同时也很生气。她在哪儿?为什么不回家呢?电话响了，我第一个冲过去接电话。

“喂。”我说。

“嗨，宝贝。”妈妈回答。

我生气地朝她大叫:“你在哪儿呢?”因为很生气，我没听出她话中的颤抖和不安。她想跟我隐瞒，“嗯，我在买东西。”她用简短而呜咽的声音回答。

终于，我听出来了。“不，你不是在买东西，妈妈。你到底在哪儿?”

恐惧慢慢袭上心头。不知道为什么，我只想知道真相，但我又不想知道。我只感觉那不会是好事，但不知道有多糟。

“我在医院，你爸爸犯了心脏病。”她轻声说。

我尖叫一声哭了起来。我从未这么害怕过。为何要发生在我身上?哥哥接过了电话。歇斯底里的我没看到他和妹妹的脸上流下的泪水。哥哥想表现得勇敢些，可我知道他的心在颇抖。妈妈向他讲明了细节。

爸爸在上班的公共汽车上突发心脏病，车上的一位医生和护士马上为他做人工呼吸抢救。救护车赶到时，只能用电击器抢救了。现在人已没有意识了，戴着氧气罩。我感到腹部一阵痉挛。斯科特挂断电话，我们三个吸泣着抱在一起。那个时刻，我们也许比任何时候都要亲近。

不一会儿，姐姐杰西卡和几个朋友回来了。听到这个不幸的消息，每个人都抽泣起来。很快，姨妈桑茜来了，加人这个呜咽的行列。

人聚齐之后，我们只剩接来祖母，然后赶往医院了，从前我们经常在这条路上走过，但这次却是特殊的一次。车内的沉寂让人心悸，每个人都心事重重。

我们终于到了医院，乘电梯到六楼。电梯中的情景好像在车里的一样，紧张的神经渐渐绷得更紧。虽然妈妈已告诉我们爸爸现在是靠管子和氧气罩呼吸的，我们还是不敢想象会看到什么。在医院的病房里看到的爸爸是无知觉的，他不能跟我说话，听不见，也看不见。我的心都碎了!妈妈跟我们一同走过大厅来到爸爸的身边。一切仿佛是场梦——恶梦。

接着，我看到了爸爸。他不像本来的样子了。我想:“这也许是个错误。”他的脸苍白而肿胀，身上插了许多管子，连着闪烁灯光的监视器，还有很多能让他维持生命的仪器。

太可怕了，我呜咽地叫他，把吻过的手指按在他的面颊上。我吸泣着说:“我爱你。”然后就放声大哭。我被半拖半拽拉到休息室跟家人待在一起。他们劝我，但都没有用。唯一能让我感到安慰的是爸爸会好起来。

后来，我感觉好一点后，妈妈又带我到病房。我们在那儿待了很长时间。我握着他的手跟他说话，我知道，我们是在交流。我知道他能听到我，知道我在那陪他。我只祈祷会有好消息。我得走了，我向黑夜说声晚安。

第二天我上了学，但想的都是爸爸，做什么事都无法集中精力，我早早离开了学校。我想马上到医院陪他。

那天夜里，又有了一些消息，却没有一条好消息，医生确信，爸爸的75%的大脑已经死亡。

那一刻我知道我再也听不到爸爸的声音了，在我的婚礼上在走向教堂的通道上，再也不会有他紧紧挽着我的手臂了。我的孩子们也不会看到他们的外祖父是多么伟大了。我感到我的生命也像随之而去了一样。

几天后，伴着更多的眼泪，祈祷与困难的决定，氧气罩被撤下来了，同时还有所有的管子、监视器。他被安排到一个私人病房，在那里我们可以做的只是等待他停止呼吸。

在那间房里，我只看过他一次。我无法忍受将要发生的一切，看他在那里痛苦地挣扎。

爸爸终于心脏病突发正好一周后去世了。时间是1994年11月24日下午3点57分。那天正是感恩节。

今天，是感恩节。以前都是爸爸妈妈冲茶喝的，如果是我冲茶都是要爸爸妈妈叫我去冲我才去冲的。

今天晚上，吃饭了，我就吃快一点饭。哈!吃完了!我就趁爸爸妈妈吃饭的一点时间来冲茶。奶奶说：“哎，你在搞什么呀?”奶奶一说我就慌了!因为我怕爸爸妈妈听见到奶奶说：“哎，你在搞什么呀?”这句话爸爸妈妈就会跑过来看。于是，我就又小声又着急的说：“不要在讲了!再讲我就完成不了作业了!”冲茶很简单，方法：“先放一点茶叶进去杯子里面，然后在加上热水。

冲茶就完成了，”冲好了茶之后，我就把茶乘进爸爸妈妈的房间说：“爸爸妈妈，感恩节快乐!”

The Wolf and the Lamb故事

真的小猛士：美国9岁男孩徒手斗鳄鱼

A brave 9-year-old is recovering in hospital after he wrestled a 9-foot, 400lb alligator off him with his bare hands - and he now plans to make a necklace from a tooth doctors found embedded in a wound on his back.

美国佛罗里达州一名9岁的小男孩，在湖中游泳时，遭到一条长9英尺(约2.7米长)、重400磅(约180多公斤)的短吻鳄袭击，赤手与其搏斗之后，小男孩身上多处受伤，目前正在医院治疗中。医生从他背部的伤口里取出一颗短吻鳄的牙齿，小男孩表示想把它做成项链。

James Barney Jr, spoke calmly and eloquently about his ordeal from hospital, where he was tucked up in bed with a teddy bear by his side. He was covered in some 30 teeth marks, doctors said.

小男孩名叫小詹姆斯·巴尼，他在医院里平静、生动地讲述了自己与短吻鳄搏斗的经历，在他床边还放有一只泰迪熊。医生说，小詹姆斯全身有30多处牙印。

The little boy described how it was a hot day so he had parked his bike and jumped into Lake Tohopekaliga - a lake that people are forbidden to swim in - when he felt something brush against his leg.

小詹姆斯说那天特别热，于是他就把自行车停在一旁自己跳进了托霍普卡莱加湖，这个湖是禁止人们在里面游泳的，刚一进去他就感觉有东西擦到他的腿了。

It really amazed me what happened. At first, I thought someone was just playing with me, and I didnt know what happened, he told ABC.

“后来发生的事情真的让我大吃一惊。但开始的时候，我以为是有人在跟我闹着玩，我并不知道发生了什么事情。”他告诉(ABC)的记者。

I reached down to grab it, and I felt its jaw, I felt its teeth, and I didnt know what to do, so I immediately reacted and hit it a couple times. And I had enough strength to pry its jaw open. The child pulled the powerful jaws open long enough to slide out and swim to shore.

小草懂得感恩赠与它无限生机的春天，雄鹰懂得感恩任它自由翱翔的茫茫苍穹，鱼儿懂得感恩哺育它的辽阔大海……生活中，我们更应该学会感恩。感恩含辛茹苦养育我们的父母，感恩谆谆教导我们的老师，感恩陪伴我们长大的同学……今年的感恩节，我们四班的同学们一起制作了感恩节贺卡，送给自已要感恩的人。我想把我制作的感恩节贺卡送给我们的班主任——凌慧老师。

凌老师是我最喜欢的老师，她从二年级就开担任我们的班主任。课上，她是我们和蔼可亲，风趣幽默老师。她讲课的声音仿佛是春天里叮咚的泉水，潺潺的小溪，滋润着求知若渴的我们。再枯燥，乏味的课，她都讲解得那么生动，那么形象，让我们课堂充满了乐趣和无限的想象。课下，她是我们形影不离，亲密无间的好朋友，我们一起聊天，一起做游戏，一起排练节目，一起锻炼身体。她不但教给我们宝贵的知识，还教给我们更多做人的道理，把我们从一个个懵懂无知的“小不点儿”变成了多才多艺、积极向上，有理想、有目标的好少年。她是我最想感谢的人。

做一张什么样的贺卡才能表达我对凌老师的无限感恩之情呢？面对五颜六色的卡纸，我的思绪犹如飞快旋转的风车。有了，我要为凌老献上春天里最美的花束。先用绿色的卡纸修剪出嫩绿的小草，再在小草上盛开出五彩缤纷的花朵，当然还要为花束穿上漂亮的外衣，用爱心写上对老师祝福感恩的话语……剪一剪，贴一贴，写一写，我的心里唱着欢快的歌。一张可爱的、别致的、与众不同的花束贺卡出现了，嫩嫩的、绿油油的小草是那么的生机勃勃，色彩斑斓的花朵点缀着小小的、黄黄的、亮亮的花心，仿佛为花朵撒上了明亮的小星星，橙色的外衣犹如温暖的阳光包裹着美丽的花束。

敬爱的凌老师，我要把亲手制作的感恩节花束贺卡送给您，感谢您将希望的羽翼插在我们身上，让我飞得更高，看的更远；感谢您在我们迷失方向时，为我们点一盏明亮的灯，指引我们前进的方向；感谢您在我们受到挫折和失败时，亲切鼓励的话语给我们再次起航的力量；更感谢您这三年多来我们付出的汗水和辛劳……

The first day is for the welcoming of the deities of the heavens and earth, officially beginning at midnight. Many people, especially Buddhists, abstain from meat consumption on the first day because it is believed that this will ensure longevity for them. Some consider lighting fires and using knives to be bad luck on New Years Day, so all food to be consumed is cooked the day before. For Buddhists, the first day is also the birthday of Maitreya Bodhisattva (better known as the more familiar Budai Luohan), the Buddha-to-be. People also abstain from killing animals.

Most importantly, the first day of Chinese New Year is a time when families visit the oldest and most senior members of their extended family, usually their parents, grandparents or great-grandparents.

Some families may invite a lion dance troupe as a symbolic ritual to usher in the Lunar New Year as well as to evict bad spirits from the premises. Members of the family who are married also give red packets containing cash to junior members of the family, mostly children and teenagers.

While fireworks and firecrackers are traditionally very popular, some regions have banned them due to concerns over fire hazards, which have resulted in increased number of fires around New Years and challenged municipal fire departments work capacity. For this reason, various city governments (e.g., Hong Kong, and Beijing, for a number of years) issued bans over fireworks and firecrackers in certain premises of the city. As a substitute, large-scale fireworks have been launched by governments in cities like Hong Kong to offer citizens the experience.
