中考意味着三年初中生活的结束，而中考的结束已经意味着即将来临的高中生活。自从受到录取通知书的时刻，我们已步入一生中的黄金时段．这是一个生活的转折点，今后的一切都要从这里起步……

高中，是我学习和身心将全面发展的地方。

面对新的学习任务，没有任何人会轻言放弃，包括视知识为力量的我。从班主任口中的句句良言中，我知道：高中学习科目间的关系很大，往往一科不好，就会影响其他科目，尤其以语文和数学对其他科目的影响最大。所以我将认真仔细地学好每一门课，不会让自己比较弱的学科扯成绩的后退。并且在学习中，必定不影响其他同学的学习，认真遵守学校的校纪校规，为高二良好的学习打好基础，争取在高一的各次考试中表现出良好的自我，取得好成绩。我要将稽山中学的校风——“励志”，“鸿学”，“翔宇”发扬到底。我将坚持这六个字，坚信“有责任心的人，今天可能平凡，但明天绝不平凡”，这就是我对学习的责任心。除了我对学习的态度外，我在学习中也尽可能地注意细节，相信“态度决定高度，细节决定成败！”

在身心上，我将认真听取老师对我的指导，积极参加各种有益身心的活动，坚持不进各种学校不允许我们进入的场所。如遇到困难，我会积极向老师谈谈，以疏导自己的心理。我还将参加各种体育锻炼，加强体魄，珍爱生命。

以上是我的新学期计划，我将认真实现它，让自己成为一个学习与身体，心理与道德全面发展的一个中学生。

There was a man who had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn to not judge

things too quickly. So he sent them each on a quest，in turn，to go and look at a

pear tree that was a great distance away.

The first son went in the winter，the second in the spring，the third in

summer，and the youngest son in the fall.

When they had all gone and come back，he called them together to describe

what they had seen.

The first son said that the tree was ugly，bent，and twisted. The second son

said no - it was covered with green buds and full of promise.

The third son disagreed，he said it was laden with blossoms that smelled so

sweet and looked so beautiful，it was the most graceful thing he had ever

seen.

The last son disagreed with all of them;he said it was ripe and drooping

with fruit，full of life and fulfillment.

The man then explained to his sons that they were all right，because they

had each seen but one season in the tree‘s life. He told them that you cannot

judge a tree，or a person，by only one season，and that the essence of who they are

- and the pleasure，joy，and love that come from that life - can only be measured

at the end，when all the seasons are up.

If you give up when it‘s winter，you will miss the promise of your

spring，the beauty of your summer，fulfillment of your fall. Don’t let the pain of

one season destroy the joy of all the rest.

妈妈为人善良，她从小就教导我做人要诚实，待人要宽厚，从小就来培养我好的品德。

记得有件事我总是忘不了。那是一个炎热的下午，太阳像个大火球烤着大地。我做在房间里，不停地扇着扇子，但汗珠还是不停地滚落下来。我对妈妈说：“妈!天气太热了，热得要命!我想吃冰棍。”妈妈说：“走，我带你去买些冰棍。”说着便拿起钱包。

到了买冰棍的地方，我挑选了冰棍，妈妈从钱包里拿出了一张50元的整票递给买冰棍的叔叔，叔叔找完钱，我和妈妈便匆匆回家去了。

回到家，妈妈把找回来数了数，自言自语地说：“咦?不对呀，一共是7元钱，怎么找回45元?”我一听，高兴地说：“太好了!买冰棍的人真糊涂了，找多了3元。妈妈，那2元给我行吗?”妈妈瞪了我一眼，生气地说：“多找了2元，我们应该送回去，不能贪图那些小便宜!再说，人家卖冰棍多不容易呀!”说完，妈妈冒着火辣辣的太阳，把3元钱给人家送去了。

晚上睡觉的时候，我躺在床上睡不着，想起白天的事情，忽然明白了，做人要从一点一滴的事情做起，不能因为眼前的一点小便宜，做出一些对不起人的事。这件事对我有了很大的教育，我爱我的妈妈，我打心里佩她。

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.

The new term is coming and in the new term I am planning to study . First , I am going to listen to the teacher carefully in class and take good notes . Second , I must do my homework well by myself and not watch too much TV at home . I will try my best to study all the subjects well .

There is a beautiful school in the Shanghai West suburbs----Qingpu senior high middle school. She covers an area of simple more than 150 mu. And it is one of the lodge senior middle schools in Shanghai. That is my school, my family.

Judging by her system, it is not hard for us to know, every student who studies in the school should live at school. Really so, I live at school all the day.

Our school is a modern senior middle school .In each classroom there is a computer which controls a projector. It is the paperless teaching that the teacher attends class. Students dive into it completely.

The environment in the school is also the most. There is a river in the school side. And water in river is limpid, in which there is several small fish and some shrimps etc.

The gym installations of our school are complete. She not only has a tartan track, a basketball court and a football field, but also has a tennis field ,a shuttlecock field ,a table tennis house and gymnasium etc . Everything needed is there.

This is my school, my family.

I love my school, and I love my family!

The new semester new plan

Went to school begins, winter vacation is only a short for seven days. To be learned, to make a living, competition, atsushi, I want to be in at the beginning of each semester has set a goal for yourself.

The language of main attention is that such points. Said to myself before writing neatly. To be writing to pass quickly. To improve writing speed, efficiency and speed of reading, reading efficiency. Reading comprehension to understand first, again dont understand, twice, three times in two times dont understand, until it is read. If read dont understand the situation to be a problem that must be a mistake. So to grasp some knowledge of the textbook.

Mathematical note is verbal arithmetic speed too slow, dont see the problem, drop off topic. This is the most should not be I often make mistake. To sum up, mostly of carelessness. Every examination is careless, but found that dont change at a time. So this time I was determined to correct them. And incomplete application the answer which I also often make the mistake.

English is my best subject, but there are still shortcomings. The writing of English also not line, remember once what all dont understand the grandmother also said that I write English fast sleep. Mainly pay attention to the morning reading, still have to get up early in the morning every day need to recite and memorize package down completely, absolutely till the next day, accumulate over a long period gradually increase.

This three classes have to pay attention to writing, hope to to the next level of English. Set a goal this term, by the way: the language more than 93, math 96 or more strive to excel, English to keep full marks, total score must be packed into the top three.

Once man did not have to think about the protection of his environment。

There were few people on the earth， and natural resources seemed to be

unlimited。

Today things are different。 The world has bee too crowded。 We are using up

our natural resources，and polluting our environment with dangerous chemicals。 If

we continue to do this， human life on earth will not survive。

We realize that if too many fish are taken from the sea， there will soon be

none left。 Yet，with modern fishing methods， more and more fish are caught。We

know that if too many trees are cut down， forests will disappear。 Yet， we

continue to use powerful machines to cut down more and more trees。 We see that

if rivers are polluted with waste products， we will die。 Yet， waste products

are

still put into rivers。

We know that if the population continues to rise at the present rate， in a

few years， there wont be enough food。What can we do to solve these

problems?

If we eat more vegetables and less meat， there will be more food available。

Land for crops feeds five times more people than land where animals are

kept。

Our natural resources will last longer if we learn to recycie them。

The world population will not rise so quickly if people use modern methods

of birth control。

Finally， if we educate people to think about the problems we shall have a

better and cleaner planet in the future。

i was thirty-seven then, strapped in my seat as the huge 747 plunged through dense cloud cover on approach to the hamburg airport. cold november rains drenched the earth and lent everything the gloomy air of a flemish landscape: the ground crew ran gear, a flag atop a squat airport building, a bmw billboard. so germany again.

37岁的我端坐在波音747客机上，庞大的机体穿过厚重的夹雨云层，俯身向汉堡机场降落。11月砭人肌肤的冷雨将大地涂得一片阴沉，使得身披雨衣的地勤工、呆然垂向地面的候机楼上的旗，以及bmw广告板等的一切的一切，看上去竟同佛兰德派抑郁画幅的背景一般。罢了罢了，又是德国，我想。

once the plane was on the ground soft music began to flow from the ceiling speakers: a sweet orchestral cover version of the beatles " norwegian wood". the melody never failed to send a shudder through me, but this time it hit me harder than ever.

飞机刚一着陆，天花板扩音器中低声传出轻柔的背景音乐，那是一个管弦乐队演奏的甲壳虫乐队的《挪威的森林》。那旋律一如往日地使我难以自已。这一次，比往日还要强烈地摇撼着我的身心。

i bent forward in my seat, face in hands to keep my skull from splitting open. before long one of the german stewardesses approached and asked in english if i was sick. "no," i said, just dizzy"

为了不使头脑胀裂，我弯下腰，双手捂脸。很快，一位德国空中小姐走来，用英语问我是不是不大舒服。我答说："不要紧，只是有点晕。

"are you sure?"

"yes, im sure. thanks."

"真的不要紧?"

"不要紧的，谢谢。"我说。

she smiled and left, and the music changed to a billy joel tune. i straightened up and looked out the plane window at the dark clouds hanging over the north sea, thinking of what i had lost in the course of my life: times gone forever, friends who had died or disappeared, feelings i would never know again.

她于是莞尔一笑，转身走开。音乐变成彼利·乔的曲子。我直起了腰，望着北海上空阴沉沉的云层，浮想联翩。我想起自己在过去人生旅途中失去的许多东西——蹉跎的岁月，死去或离去的人们无可追回的懊悔。

the plane reached the gate. people began unlatching their seatbelts and pulling baggage from the storage bins, and all the while i was in the meadow. i could smell the grass, feel the wind on my face, hear the cries of the birds. autumn 1969,and soon i wou1d be twenty.

机身停稳后，旅客解开安全带，从行李架中取出皮包和上衣等物。而我，仿佛依然置身于那片草地之中，呼吸着草的芬芳，感受着风的轻柔，谛听着鸟的鸣啭。那还是1969年的秋天，我快满20岁的时候。

…

true, given time enough, i can bring back her face. i start joining image-her tiny, cold hand; her straight, black hair so smooth and cool to the touch; a soft, rounded earlobe and the microscopic mole just beneath it; the camels hair coat she wore in the winter; her habit of looking straight into your eyes when asking a question; the slight trembling that would come to her voice now and then (as if she were speaking on a windy hilltop)-and suddenly her face is there, always in profile at first, because naoko and i were always out waking together, side by side. then she turns to me, and smiles, and tilts her head just a bit, and begins to speak, and she looks into my eyes as if trying to catch the image of a minnow that has darted across the pool of a m1impid spring.

当然，只要有时间，我会忆起她的面容。我追忆着：那冷冰冰的小手，那流线型泻下的手感爽适的秀发，那圆圆的软软的耳垂及其紧靠底端的小小黑痔，那冬日里时常穿的格调高雅的驼绒大衣，那总是定定注视对方眼睛发问的惯常动作，那不时奇妙发出的微微颤抖的语声(就像在强风中的山岗上说话一样)—随着这些印象的叠涌，她的面庞突然自然地浮现出来。最先出现是她的侧脸，大概因为我总是同她并肩走路的缘故，最先想起来的每每是她的侧影。随之，她朝我转过脸，甜甜地一笑，微微地低头，轻轻地启齿，定定地看着我的双眼，仿佛在一混清澈的泉水里寻觅稍纵即逝的小鱼的行踪。

i do need that time, though for naokos face to appear. and as the years have passed, the time has grown longer. the sad truth is that what i could recall in five seconds all too soon needed ten, then thirty, then a full minute——like shadows lengthening at dusk. someday, i suppose, the shadows will be swallowed up in darkness. there is no way around it: my memory is growing ever more distant from the spot where naoko used to stand-ever more distant from the spot where my old self used to stand. and nothing but scenery, that view of the meadow in october, returns again and again to me 1ike a symbolic scene in a movie. each time it appears, it delivers a kick to some part of my mind. "wale up," it says. "i’m still here! wake up and think about it. think about why im still here." the kicking never hurt me. theres no pain at all. just a hollow sound that echoes with each kick. and even that is bound to fade one day. at the hamburg airport, though, the kicks were longer and harder than usual which is why i am writing this book: to think. to understand! it just happens to be the way im made. i have to write things down to feel i fully comprehend them.

但是，让直子的面影在我脑海中浮现出来，我总是需要一点时间。而且，随着岁月的流逝，所需的时间愈来愈长。这固然令人悲哀，但事实就是如此。起初5秒即可想起，渐次变成10秒、30秒、1分钟。它延长得那样迅速，竟同夕阳下的阴影一般，并将很快消融在冥冥夜色之中。哦，原来我的记忆正在同直子原来站立的位置步步远离，甚至逐渐远离自己一度站过的位置。而惟独风景，惟独那片10月草地的风景，宛如电影中的象征性镜头，在我的脑际反复推出。并且那风景执着地连连踢我的脑袋，说着："起来，我可还在这里哟!起来，起来想想，思考一下我为什么还在这里。"不过这种踢法一点也不痛，一脚踢来，只是发出空洞的声响。甚至这声响或迟或早也将杳然远逝。但是在这汉堡机场，它们踢得比往常更长久、更有力：起来，理解我!惟其如此，我才动笔写这篇文字。我必须形诸文字，才能弄得水落石出。

亲爱的同学们：

欢迎大家在度过一个温馨快乐的寒假之后又回到咱们快乐的大家庭之中，开始新学期的生活和学习。在此，我向同学们致以新学期的问候和良好的祝愿。

在过去的一个学期里，我们用班级公约来约束言行，积极向上，追求卓越，用自己的努力铸就了高一八班的辉煌。军训第一，校运会高一年级团体总分第一，高一年级广播体操比赛团体总分第三，冬季阳光长跑高一团体总分第四，文化课考试成绩名列前茅等一系列优异的成绩，留给2008年一个骄傲自豪的背影。老师以你们为自豪。

2009年已经悄悄来到我们身边，新的一年开启新的希望，新的空白承载新的梦想。亲爱的同学们，你们有什么打算呢？用什么样的收获来装点这个不平凡的一年呢？我知道每人心里一定都有自己的梦想。（班主任工作 ）俗话说，播种一个信念，收获一个行动；播种一个行动，收获一个习惯；播种一个习惯，收获一个性格；播种一个性格，收获一个命运。同学们，成绩只能代表过去，展望新学期，需要我们更加刻苦学习、奋发图强，新学期，你准备好了吗？

亲爱的同学们，当上课的铃声清脆地响起，当崭新的课本一页页翻开，当琅琅的读书声响遍校园，这一切的一切都告诉我们，新的学习生活又开始了。在这里，老师要大声的说：高一八班的同学们，老师喜欢你们。喜欢你们对待生活的热情，喜欢你们对待学习的执著和认真，喜欢你们活泼的身影，喜欢你们爽朗的笑声，喜欢你们一切的一切……在我心里，你们都是一只只展翅高飞的雄鹰，只要愿意，就会翱翔在知识的高空，把握自己的未来……

千言万语都太苍白，老师的要求和以前一样没有变化，希望大家能够“成人”，然后尽自己最大的努力“成材”。现在，就让我们回顾咱们的公约，在它的指导下继续努力前行。在新学期继续创造咱们高一八班的辉煌。

The new semester， my intention and friends to share。 A little good-natured， paying attention in a point， and I feel happier， the goal of the new semester： "careful and attentive no longer careless， joy and happiness that is no longer sad! Concentrate concentrate longer distracted"! I wish： "final exam 100 points。

Well， lets start from scratch， starting today， to let the spirit of the athletes who won the championship of this learning to concentrate on learning the same up! I cry out： "The goal has been set， push harder!

Each year, people burn or cut down 143,000 square kilometers (55,000 square

miles) of the forest. People who burn or cut down trees do it for different

reasons: farmers cut down trees in order to get more fertilize lands to grow

rice or vegetables, and use the woods as fuel. Timber companies cut down trees

and turn them into furniture or paper productions. As to goal miners, they

remove the forests to find out whether there are goal underground.

However, many of us fail to realize that forests are the lungs of the

earth. When we cut down trees, we also push ourselves in to a dangerous

situation. That is the global warming. When you come to think about it, there

are only few ways to solve these negative effects: stop cutting down trees

blindly; try to find some clear energy that can replace oil and coal. But these

solutions can be impractical to some degreed.

Why trees can be so important to the whole nature? First of all, trees are

the habitat of many animals. When we cut down trees, we not only destroy

animals’ habitats but also ourselves. We just gradually destroy natural links.

The result is that many spices of animals and plants are dying out. Secondly,

cutting down trees cause global warming, to some degree. Naturalists compare

forest to human’s lungs. The forests absorb the carbon dioxide and other gas

that cause global warming, and then give off the oxygen that good for the human

beings and other living creatures. It’s refreshed the air as well as reduced the

noise. If the air quality is bad, people may die from cancers, or the new

diseases for which they have no immunity. Forests also play an important role in

the prevention of natural disasters. Warmer temperatures cause water to expand

and also create more water by melting polar ice caps. That’s to say, the nations

which near the ocean may have been flooded by the water. But the forests can

prevent water loss and soil erosion, and cool off the global temperatures. It’s

the key to keep the balance of the nature.

Sometimes people only care about money making; they don’t care about the

price we pay for the pollution. When the disaster is around the corner, we may

be afraid and frustrated. The earth, on which our economies have always been

based, is suddenly threatening our existence. All we hope that is this

overpopulated, over industrialized planet can carry on for a longer time. And

maybe, it’s time for us to realize that we should protect the earth, stop

cutting down trees blindly and madly.

Summer holiday is going on.But the vacation is too short,my new-term will come soon.Oh,I should make a new-term Plan ,because I must get ready to welcome my autumn term.In last term,my marks of the end exams are not good,since I did not study well enough.I was angry with myself.So I will learn harder and harder.I want to be a winner.Also,I will do these:

暑假就要过去了,但这个假期对于我来说太短了,我的新的一学期马上就要开始了.天呐,我应该做一个新学期的学习计划,因为我必须以崭新的面貌来面对新的一个学期,我上学期的学习成绩不是很好,因为我没有用功去学习课程.我很懊恼我自己当初没用功学习,所以我在新的一个学期一定要好好学习,为做一个好学生,我要做到如下几点：

First,I will review all the subjects,especially English,maths,history and physics.

Second,I decide to listen to the English every morning.

其次,我要每天坚持听听力.

其三、我要按时将家庭作业交给老师.

最后,我要主动向老师及同学帮助解决学习方面遇到的困难.

My target is to get good marks.

我的目标就是为得一个高分.

I think I can.

我行!

The way people hold the belief that a fun-filled， pain-free lifestyle

equals happiness actually reduces their chances of ever obtaining real

happiness. If fun and pleasure are equal to happiness，then pain must be equal to

unhappiness. But in fact，the opposite is true： more often than not things that

lead to happiness contain some pain.

As a result，many people avoid the very attempts that are the source of true

happiness.They fear the pain inevitably (不可避免地) brought by such things as

marriage，raising children，professional achievement， religious commitment，

self-improvement.

Ask a bachelor why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be

less and less satisfying. If he is honest，he will tell you that he is afraid of

making a commitment，for commitment is in fact quite painful. The single life is

filled with fun， adventure and excitement.Marriage has such moments，but they are

not its most distinguishing features.

Couples，with infant children， are lucky to get a whole nights sleep of a

three-day vacation. We dont know any parent who would choose the word fun to

describe raising children. But couples that decide not to have children ever

know the joys of watching a child grow up or playing with a grandchild.

Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun

is one of the most liberating realizations. It liberates time： now we can devote

more hours to activities that can really increase our happiness. It liberates

money：buying that new car or those fancy clothes to increase our happiness now

seems pointless. And it liberates us from envy：we now understand that all those

who always have so much fun actually may not be happy at all.
