“下午第一节课全年级英语抽测!”一大早,英语老师就来到教室告诉了我们这个重大消息。

“啊,又来考啊!”我们班马上就沸腾了,突击检查是老师的常用伎俩,但这么大的考试还是第一次。俗话说得好,“考考考,老师的法宝;分分分,学生的命根。”我们怎能不紧张呢?所以只好抓紧时间复习。由于是教育局抽测,所以肯定会很难。

眨眼间就到了下午,抽测开始了。果不其然,题目难得不得了,光是听力,就有了三道题不确定。第一大题的第4小题,我本来选的是“A”live,可是一会儿后,我觉得不对,便改成了“C”like。还有一道题是“foot”和“food”,我最后选择了“A”foot。还有别的题……天啊,这也太难了!此时的我,只好蒙几题了。唉,这题到底是什么答案呀?我怎么感觉不对呢?到了后面,题目简单了一点,我就披荆斩棘写完了试卷。抽测结束,试卷被收了上去,我心中仿佛有十块大石头悬在上空。

第二天,成绩下来了。我考了99分,错的那一分就是那道改过的听力题,答案是A,而我居然把对的A改成了C,就这样与满分擦肩而过了。但幸运的是,英语我还是再次考了全年级第一。我心头的那块大石头终于落地了。

虽然这次英语考试很突然,我也取得了不错的成绩。但我真的不喜欢这样的抽测啊!

I have many hobbies: reading books, raising pets, making dresses, etc. I like volleyball very much, but I cant play it very often, because it is a team sport. It is difficult to get enough people to play volleyball with me. Its a shame. I derive great pleasure out of my hobbies.

It is believed that the Palace Museum, or Zi Jin Cheng (Purple Forbidden City), got its name from astronomy folklore, The ancient astronomers divided the constellations into groups and centered them around the Ziwei Yuan (North Star) . The constellation containing the North Star was called the Constellation of Heavenly God and star itself was called the purple palace. Because the emperor was supposedly the son of the heavenly gods, his central and dominant position would be further highlighted the use of the word purple in the name of his residence. In folklore, the term ―an eastern purple cloud is drifting‖ became a metaphor for auspicious events after a purple cloud was seen drifting eastward immediately before the arrival of an ancient philosopher, LaoZi, to the Hanghu Pass. Here, purple is associated with auspicious developments. The word jin (forbidden) is self-explanatory as the imperial palace was heavily guarded and off-explanatory as the imperial palace was heavily guarded and off-limits to ordinary people.

The Forbidden City is rectangular in shape. It is 960 meters long from north to south and 750 meter wide from east west. It has 9,900 rooms under a total roof area 150,000 square meters. A 52-meter-wide-moat encircles a 9. 9-meter—high wall which encloses the complex. Octagon —shaped turrets rest on the four corners of the wall. There are four entrances into the city: the Meridian Gate to the south, the Shenwu Gate (Gate of Military Prowess) to the north, and the Xihua Gate (Gate of military Prowess) to the north, and the Xihua Gate (Western Flowery Gate ) to the west, the Donghua (Eastern Flowery Gate) to the east.

Manpower and materials throughout the country were used to build the Forbidden City. A total of 230,000 artisans and one million laborers were employed. Marble was quarried from fangshan Country Mount Pan in Jixian County in Hebei Province. Granite was quarried in Quyang County in Hebei Province. Paving blocks were fired in kilns in Suzhou in southern China. Bricks and scarlet pigmentation used on the palatial walls came from linqing in Shandong Province.
