每年的公历四月五日前后为清明节，是二十四节气之一。今年的清明节是4月4日。在二十四个节气中，既是节气又是节日的只有清明。清明节是我国传统节日，也是最重要的祭祀节日。按照旧的习俗，祭祀(扫墓)时，人们要携带酒食果品、纸钱等物品到墓地，将食物供祭在亲人墓前，再将纸钱焚化，为坟墓培上新土，折几枝嫩绿的新枝插在坟上，然后叩头行礼祭拜，最后吃掉酒食回家。清明节，又叫踏青节，正是春光明媚草木吐绿的时节，也正是人们春游的好时候，所以古人有清明踏青，并开展一系列体育活动的的习俗。直到今天，清明节祭拜祖先，悼念已逝的亲人的习俗仍很盛行。

Celebrated two weeks after the vernal equinox， Tomb Sweeping Day is one of the few traditional Chinese holidays that follows the solar calendar-- typically falling on April 4， 5， or 6.

Its Chinese name "Qing Ming" literally means "Clear Brightness，" hinting at its importance as a celebration of Spring. Similar to the spring festivals of other cultures， Tomb Sweeping Day celebrates the rebirth of nature， while marking the beginning of the planting season and other outdoor activities.

Qing Ming Jiein Ancient Times

An old man takes one last look before leaving the City Cemetery at Biandanshan of Wuhan， Central Chinas Hubei Province.In ancient times， people celebrated Qing Ming Jie with dancing， singing， picnics， and kite flying. Colored boiled eggs would be broken to symbolize the opening of life. In the capital， the Emperor would plant trees on the palace grounds to celebrate the renewing nature of spring. In the villages， young men and women would court each other.

The Tomb Sweeping Day as Celebrated Today

With the passing of time， this celebration of life became a day to the honor past ancestors. Following folk religion， the Chinese believed that the spirits of deceased ancestors looked after the family. Sacrifices of food and spirit money could keep them happy， and the family would prosper through good harvests and more children.

Today， Chinese visit their family graves to tend to any underbrush that has grown. Weeds are pulled， and dirt swept away， and the family will set out offerings of food and spirit money. Unlike the sacrifices at a familys home altar， the offerings at the tomb usually consist of

dry， bland food. One theory is that since any number of ghosts rome around a grave area， the less appealing food will be consumed by the ancestors， and not be plundered by strangers.

Honoring Ancestors

Honoring ancestors begins with proper positioning of a gravesite and coffin. Experts in feng shui， or geomancy， determine the quality of land by the surrounding aspects of streams， rivers， trees， hills， and so forth. An area that faces south， with groves of pine trees creates the best flow of cosmic energy required to keep ancestors happy. Unfortunately， nowadays， with Chinas burgeoning population， public cemetaries have quickly surplanted private gravesites. Family elders will visit the gravesite at least once a year to tend to the tombs.

While bland food is placed by the tombs on Qing Ming Jie， the Chinese regularly provide scrumptious offerings to their ancestors at altar tables in their homes. The food usually consists of chicken， eggs， or other dishes a deceased ancestor was fond of. Accompanied by rice， the dishes and eating utensils are carefully arranged so as to bring good luck. Sometimes， a family will put burning incense with the offering so as to expedite the transfer of nutritious elements to the ancestors. In some parts of China， the food is then eaten by the entire family.Kites

Besides the traditions of honoring the dead， people also often fly kits on Tomb Sweeping Day. Kites can come in all kinds of shapes， sizes， and colors. Designs could include frogs， dragonflies， butterflies， crabs， bats，and storks.

2.The tendency to take things for granted is understandable, but the need for one to rationally evaluate the circumstances of any situation is absolutely essential.

3.Most people are under the illusion that a college degree guarantees success. There is no such guarantee without hard work.

4.Some stubbornly hold to the correctness of traditional practices, but in so doing they seem to totally ignore the fact that progress depends on change.

一些人固执地坚持传统做法的正确性，但是，他们这么做，似乎完全忽视了进步依靠变化的事实。

5.Generally speaking, previous parliamentary policy debates ignored the relevance of transparency.

总的来说，以前议会中针对政策的辩论忽视了透明度的重要性。

6.A precise definition of poverty is actually very difficult to determine. Where does one draw the line between those who are poor and those who are not?

对贫困的精确定义实际上是很难的。如何在贫穷和非贫穷的人之间划一条界限呢?

7.Admittedly, bribery and corruption are endemic to our political and economic systems, but it doesn’t necessarily follow that all politicians and business people resort to illicit behavior.

诚然，贿赂和腐败在我们的政治和经济系统中很流行，但这并不是说所有的政府官员和商界人士都采取违法行为。

自先上古起，腊八是用来祭祀祖先和神灵(包括门神、户神、宅神、灶神、井神)的祭祀仪式，祈求丰收和吉祥。据《祀记·郊特牲》记载，腊祭是“岁十二月，合聚万物而索飨之也。”夏代称腊日为“嘉平”，商代为“清祀”，周代为“大蜡”;因在十二月举行，故称该月为腊月，称腊祭这一天为腊日。先秦的腊日在冬至后的第三个戌日，后来佛教传入，为了扩大在本土的影响力逐附会传统文化把腊八节定为佛成道日。后随佛教盛行，佛祖成道日与腊日融合，在佛教领域被称为“法宝节”。南北朝开始才固定在腊月初八。

《说文》载：“冬至后三戌日腊祭百神。”可见，冬至后第三个戌日曾是腊日。后由于佛教介入，腊日改在十二月初八，自此相沿成俗。

Most English holidays have a religious origin. The first Sunday of Easter in the full moon after the vernal equinox, the original is the day to commemorate the resurrection of Jesus.

Last week, I saw a very impressive documentary about panda. A professor

studied panda in the early 1980s went to the wild life and kept trace of wild

giant panda for many years. As a result, he found that it was human being that

made these lovely animals die out. At that time, many people believed that giant

panda became less because of the low rate of newborn babies. But it was not

true. People cut trees for making profit at that time. Panda lose homeland and

they lacked of food. Thanks to these valuable data, the government took the

policy to protect the animals. So today, the number of giant panda is

increasing. People realize the importance of protecting the environment and it

is the best way to protect wild animals, they are the indispensable part of the

nature.

As a child, I am so luck. I don’t need to worry about food. I always have enough delicious food, live in a big house, and have beautiful clothes to dress. I am so happy that I have no idea to treasure all these things. I am a kind of particular about food. I often eat a little for one dish and the throw it away, because I have many choices. I will be full after eating several dishes. But one day, I watch a piece of news on TV. It is about some Africa children who are suffering starvation. They are so poor. They are not only having no food to eat but also having little water to drink. A bowl of rice is very rare for them. Seeing their longing eyes, I feel guilty. I am regret about wasting food before. How can I waste so much rare food? From now on, I will try my best to save food, to do something for them.

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。

上面的报道中，ecotourism就是近几年经常被提及的一种旅游形式生态旅游，其实就是ecological和tourism两个词结合而成的，类似的用法还有eco city，eco-farming等。另外，这里还提到了rural tourism 乡村旅游，算是ecotourism的一个初步形式吧。其他常见的旅游形式还有：package tour，DIY tour，group/organized tour，medical tour等。

I love to read. When I was three years old, my parents had taught me to

read. They bought me some books with funny and colorful pictures. Soon I was

attracted by these stories and fell in love with reading. Since I went to

school, I often went to the library and it was my favorite place. Studying in

the library provided me a silent environment. The most important thing was that

as so many excellent students sat around me. I felt the great motivation to move

on. I could find the data any time and read the books I liked. I have gained a

lot of knowledge and find the great hour there.

Grain rain, that is, in the spring, this time we are most likely to lack of vitamin B2 and vitamin C, sometimes we often thirsty, cigarettes and corners of the mouth foaming. We should eat more of these symptoms of yellow bean sprouts. Have nourish Yin nourishing the stomach, the effect such as antibacterial anti-inflammatory, qingrejiedu, as long as the appropriate not only can prevent these symptoms can also lay a good foundation for the in order to improve physical fitness, etc.

Grain rain season eat cedar is the most appropriate. In the grain rain season, cedar taste is very good, is also very high nutritional value. Especially at the time of incense ChunYa is more suitable for eating ChunYa contains abundant sugar, protein, fat, carotene, and a lot of vitamin C and other rich nutrition. We after eating more enhance human immunity. (need to explain to everybody here is higher nitrate is contained in cedar, so as far as possible before eating cooked in boiling water after eating).

Grain rain also suitable for consumption before and after some food can ease the mental stress and regulate mood. Eat more a few contain the food with vitamin B group is more to improve the depression has obvious effect.

When grain rain we also should eat more vegetables. Gu yu, according to traditional Chinese medicine, want to take time to recuperate liver blood. Begin to understand in the eye, liver blood is insufficient, cant go to note in the eyes and see things not clear, or diseases with ease hot, on the one leader is dizzy. At this time of the diet points on liver, nourishing liver clear. And vegetables is one of the best choice.

谷雨也就是春天，这个时候我们最容易缺的是维生素B2和维生素C，我们有时常常口干舌燥，上火，嘴角起泡。对于这些症状我们应该多吃一些黄豆芽。具有滋阴养胃、抗菌消炎、清热解毒等功效，只要适当的话不仅可以预防这些症状还可以为提高体质等打下良好的基础。

谷雨时节吃香椿是最合适的。在谷雨时节，香椿的口感非常好，营养价值也非常高。尤其在那个时候的香椿芽是更为适合食用的，椿芽中含有丰富的糖、蛋白质、脂肪、胡萝卜素和大量的维生素C等多种丰富的营养。我们在食用后更有提高人体免疫力等功效。(在这里需要向大家说明的一点是香椿中含有较高的硝酸盐，所以在食用前尽量用沸水煮了以后在食用)。

谷雨前后还适宜食用一些能够缓解精神压力和调节情绪的食物。多吃一些含B族维生素较多的食物对改善抑郁症有明显的效果。

在谷雨的时候我们还应该多吃一些蔬菜。谷雨，按照中医的说法，要抓紧时机调理肝血。肝开窍于目，肝血不足，不能上注于目而视物不清，或肝气郁结化热，上扰头目则头晕目眩。此时的食疗要点重在养肝清肝、滋养明目。而蔬菜绝对是最好的选择之一。

As is shown in the picture, two men had a big dinner in a restaurant, but much of the food was left and some was even untouched at all. When the waitress asked them to pack the remaining food, they felt very surprised, thinking that it was unbelievable for them to do things like that with too much money in their pocket.

It is a pity that many people act like the two men in the picture. In my view, we should pack the leftovers when we have meals outside. As we all know, saving is a fine tradition for our Chinese people and therefore we shouldn’t waste a bit food. Also, there is not enough food in the world and there are many people starving. In addition, we students should form the habit of saving food and give away some to the people in need. Finally, we have the responsibility to help people around us realize the importance of saving.

Only in this way can we build up an economized society and live a happy and healthy life.

如图片所示,两个男人在一家餐馆吃了丰盛的晚饭,但是剩下的食物和一些甚至没有。当服务员问他们打包剩下的食物,他们感到很惊讶,以为他们是不可思议的事情,用太多的钱在他们的口袋里。

遗憾的是,很多人就像照片中的两人。在我看来,我们应该把剩饭剩菜,当我们在外面吃饭。我们都知道,节约是我们中国人的优良传统,因此我们不应该浪费食物。同样,世界上没有足够的食物,有很多人挨饿。此外,我们学生应养成节约粮食的习惯和放弃一些有需要的人。最后,我们有责任帮助我们周围的人们意识到节约的重要性。

只有用这种方法我们才能建立一个节约型社会,过幸福健康的生活。

Since I went to middle school, I grew up very fast. On the one hand, I live

in school from Monday to Friday, so I need to learn to get along with roommates.

We share the cleaning work to make sure a good environment. It is everybodys

duty to sweep the floor on turn. On the other hand, I need to solve the problems

from life by myself. Without parents by my side all the time, I learn to face

troubles and figure out all the ways to solve them. I become much independent

and stronger. Now I can deal with my stuff alone.

傲慢、偏见，是我们很常见的弱点和毛病。每一个人其实都很容易被自己的主观印象所驱使，因而容易对别的人下不正确的注解，进而造成了彼此之间的误会。

一个人所给予的第一印象固然可以影响到很多事，但并非一定不会改变，要有更加深入的了解，才能有更客观一点的论点，就好像故事中女主角对达西的看法，

这是个曲折但却也美丽的爱情故事，主人公伊丽莎白是个勇于追求爱情、漂亮聪明、坚强可爱的中产阶级女子。故事主要以她对达西先生从一开始的厌恶到尊敬，

再到爱慕为线索，也穿插了在几个发生在她身边的幸福或不幸的婚姻，揭示了作者对那个时代女人生活与爱情的理想和期望。故事中女主角伊丽莎白第一眼看到男主角达西就是不顺眼的，

加上男主角个性的傲慢，继而对他有了偏见。而男主角达西，是个不受人欢迎的傲慢男子，也不屑于周遭冷淡的人际关系，对他来说，傲慢也许是有理的，偏见却很无情，

这两者产生的冲击是免不了的。两个人之间也因此而常有针锋相对的言辞，彼此之间的傲慢和偏见就造成了一开始的不愉快与误解，但是经过种.种事件的澄清，彼此又渐渐产生一点点的感情。

达西代表着“傲慢”，伊丽莎白代表着“偏见”，他们一开始都被自己的情绪所牵引。接着一连串对达西不利的流言，更让伊丽莎白对达西反感。当达西向伊丽莎白求婚而遭到拒绝时，

他说了一句话：“要是我耍一点手段，把我内心的矛盾掩饰起来，一味地恭维你，使你相信我无论在理智方面、思想方面以及其他各方面，

都是对你怀着无条件的纯洁的爱，那么也许你就不会有这些苛刻的责骂了。可惜无论是什么样的伪装，我都痛恨。”达西没有为了讨好伊丽莎白，而改变

他的傲慢性情。伊丽莎白也表现了很真实的自己，彼此都不刻意去营造给人的印象，表现出了最真实的一面。而开始的时候，伊丽莎白一直活在自己的偏见之下，而忽略思考事实的真相，经过达西的解释和自己的判断，才最终找到幸福的归宿。

《傲慢与偏见》通篇是伊丽莎白幽默的俏皮话，可是这种强颜欢笑下，隐藏的却是那一时代人们无尽的苦恼、不满、遗恨。或许不幸太多了，变成了麻木。

可是令人羡慕、认可的“幸福”背后，堆砌着的又是什么呢?是金钱、麻木、泪水、悔恨、遗憾，或许更多更多，但唯一没有的便是真爱。

What’s the purpose of life ? What are we seeking for in our short lives ? For privilege,for money ,or just for enjoyment ? It’s the problem that everyone wants to explore. As a matter of fact , everybody needs a proper purpose in order to struggle against life . A clear purpose not only guides us but also gives us hope and energy . When unknown challenges stop our steps toward the dream, our purpose will help us overcome the difficulties . Because of purpose and our efforts , we become useful for the world . Those who travel in life without direction sometimes turn confused and even lose their confidence . Considering the benefits of living a life of purpose , we seem to should establish our purpose as soon as possible . But we need to be careful to choose the purpose that will be suitable enough for ourselves .In my opinion ,the purpose of life must include two necessary aspects——Work and Love . Work is the basic purpose of our life . As a youngster,you are supposed to try your best to find the job which you love from the bottom of your heart. Then you may dedicate yourself to it with all your enthusiasm. Charles Moyers explains these :“Make sure the thing you’re living for is worth dying for . ”

On the other hand , only work is not enough to lead a life of purpose .Loving our families and taking care of friends are also indispensable parts in our life. When people really love their families ,they will surely find the purpose of life.In other words , our emotions can be surely content when we stay with our families and friends. One’s life without love is like the sky without sunshine. Work and Love play the most important two roles in the purpose for which we seek throughout our life . But other aspects such as devotion and learning knowledge also have an deep influence on our life . These things affect our behaviour and values more or less ,even though most of us can’t realize it clearly . As the saying goes :“When we do good , we feel good , and we are good.” Set the correct purpose of your life now , And you will make a difference to your life.
