Spring is coming. Every life revives. Grass turns green in Fudan and everyone seems to be full of energy. A good time for exercising, isnt it? As darkness falls, thegymnasium is open for those who have a strong desire to strengthen their bodies. Soon the gymnasium is full of people, the weak, the strong, the tall and the short.

The first person that comes into my sight is standing in front of the mirror. He is quite muscular. Of course he wants everybody here to see how strong he is, so he is stripped to the waist and poses like a Greek statue, wearing a look of pride on his face. If you feel weary of this self-love fellow, please direct your sight to another person. He lifts a barbell above his knees and keeps this posture for a long time. His face turns red while he keeps shouting to support himself. Others cant help worrying about him for his blood seems to burst out from the vein on his face. At last he puts down the barbell and only then have I come to notice that his T shirt is soaking. From the silhouette of his back, I can see every piece of his muscle. Thelast person that draws my attention is in the corner. He sits on a chair with two dumbbells in his hands. He keeps lifting them, speechless. After a while, he drops the dumbbells and start to exercise on other body building apparatus without amoments rest. He is like a machine that never feels tired.

Besides the three people, everyone here makes a deep impression on me. They prefer the dull exercising to playing outside. They win my respect for they are true men.

beach. It was a sunny and hot day, so we went swimming. The water was warm and

trees and I really enjoyed them. On the last day, we had a great party. We sang

and danced happily. We didn’t want to leave(离开) the friends and the teachers. I

Last Sunday my classmates and I went to Xiangshan Park.

上周日我和我的同学去了香山公园。

We met at 7 oclock at the school gate. The weather in Beijing that day was great. At around 8 oclock, we arrived at Xiangshan Park. There is a high tree on the bottom of the hill. We had a party and played games under the tree. Then we climbed to the top of Xiangshan Mountain. It was not very difficult for us to do it. Next, we had lunch at the top of the hill. It was delicious. After lunch, we saw some birds. They were friendly. And we saw a whole picture of Beijing. "What a beautiful city!" I said. At that moment, we all felt so proud. I live in Beijing now. The 2008 Olympic games was held here.

This little cat is I bought back, start it some fear of life, always hide in the dark. The day is long and the cat is greedy. Every time you feed, it is always pick and choose, the fish, shrimp friends and other delicious finish, "meow" to cried, and then to me, give it, then eat a naked. Small flower cat during the day, lazily lying under the sun to sleep, even if a mouse from its side, it will turn a blind eye. If it is a dog from it in front of it, it will immediately escape, really a timid little cat!

But in the evening, the cat just to hear the mouse a little movement on the front legs of a bow, back a pedal, "wind" to channeling in the past, the mouse on the ground, a claw end of the mouse life. Little cat is still very diligent!

I remember one time: I was at home with a brush and paint painting, after painting, I will see where to modify, I think about it, that is, can not think of what to add. Suddenly, the small cat jumped on the table, with four fluffy feet in the paint on a few steps on my paper printed on a few small plum, "meow" cried, as if to say: "small Master, I help you complete the painting! "I saw, very happy! Little cat is really understanding ah!

My little cat, both timid and diligent, both diligent and considerate, I like my little cat!

Open the door, overnight, the outside world was a brush of the autumn wind dyed a golden sea.

First appear in front of my eyes is the leaves on the trees all turn yellow, the leaves were almost the whole ground. The big apple tree and red, like a chubby little boy playfully jumps down from the tree. The pieces of gold leaf is like only butterflies swirl to fall down.

The early autumn of guangdong is not very cold, a pair of brothers cant wait to wear it ran out in their jacket shorts, they take the leaves are playing a game of picking up the leaves. With one, being loud and disorderly, barks and jumping and running with joy. A row of geese flew in from the north to the south, while arranged in "people" word, for a moment in the word "one", they couldnt help to look at the cute little brother.

Listen, the fields are harvested from the song, they bring in the harvest sweet sweet wheat, sorghum, corn, soybeans,... Melodious song sing out the joy of harvest.

A beautiful picture of autumn? I love this colorful season, autumn fruit harvest season, a booming season.

参考翻译

打开屋门，一夜之间，外面的世界被刷子般的秋风染成了金灿灿的海洋。

首先呈现在我眼前的是树上的叶子全变黄了，几乎整个地面都是树叶。那树上大大的苹果也涨红了脸，像一个个胖乎乎的小男孩从树上顽皮地跳下来。那一片片金色的叶子也像一只只蝴蝶纷纷扬扬地往下飘落。

广东的初秋不是很冷，一对兄弟俩迫不及待地穿着短衣短裤就跑了出来，他们拿着树叶正在玩捡树叶的游戏呢。你追我赶，又吵又闹，又叫又跳，欢快地跑着。一排大雁正从北方往南方飞来，一会儿排成“人”字，一会儿排成“一”字，它们都忍不住往下瞧瞧这对可爱的小兄弟。

听，那边传来田野里人们丰收的歌声，他们在丰收香香的麦子、高粱、玉米、大豆……悠扬的歌声唱出了农家秋收的喜悦。

秋天的图画真美啊!我爱秋天这绚丽多彩的季节，果实收获的季节，欣欣向荣的季节。

Most people believe that perfect outlook will bring good luck, those people who have good looking will get succeed easier than those who don’t. The fact is that not all the good looking people share good chances to become succeed. It is reported that the women who have perfect outlook are hard to get people’s acceptance, because people will treat the pretty women’s success as the lure of their bosses. This is most people’s impression about pretty women, they think the pretty girls don’t have special talent, people own their success to the pleasure of boss. While on the other hand, handsome men are easier to get people’s acceptance, the good looking will make men impress others, people admit the hand guys, for they think they are not only talented, but also attractive. Pretty women and handsome men get different treatment when they succeed, we should not judge people from their outlook.

大部分人相信完美的外貌会带来好运，长得好看的人比那些长得不好看的人容易成功。实际上，并不是所有长得好看的人都有好机会获得成功。据报道，长得好看的女人很难得到人们的认同，因为人们会把漂亮女人的成功当做是对老板的勾引。这是大部分人对漂亮女人的印象，他们觉得美丽的女孩没有特殊才能，人们把她们成功归功于老板的喜悦。然而另一方面，长得英俊的男人很容易的到人们的认同，好看的外貌能给人留下很深的印象，人们佩服英俊的小伙子，因为他们觉得小伙子不仅有天赋，而且也好看。漂亮女人和英俊男人成功的时候人们会对他们有不同的态度，我们不应该根据人们的外貌来判断人。

My family has a lovely little cat. It is a pair of ears like space-time probe, all the time doing the mouse look like.

Little cats ability to fight is first class. One day I was fishing, the little cat was sitting by me. Suddenly, a shadow behind me stood, then, small cat "hissing" cried.

Cow is willing to let go, running quickly, not a few mice were caught by small cat, and toss too half to death.

Cute little cat, i love you.

Of all the festivals in China, Dragon Boat Festival is my favorite. When the Dragon Boat Festival comes, not only the family will pack the zongzi, but some communities or units will organize the group to carry on the game of zongzi. Many water towns will organize a dragon boat race, which is magnificent and spectacular.

When I was young, my mother told me that the Dragon Boat Festival in the 5th day of the fifth month of the Chinese lunar calendar was first to commemorate the great patriotic poet Qu Yuan, which gradually took the day as a holiday. My father told me that Qu Yuan is a Chu state living in the past 2000 years. He is a great poet and patriot and a loyal minister. In order to the people can live a happy life, he dared to point out the king was the wrong thing to do, so the old people loved him. But when the new king came to power, he was unconscious, and did not listen to Qu Yuans advice and claim, and lost an important battle with the state of Qin. The state of Chu was occupied by the state of Qin. After Qu Yuan heard the news, he died in the Miluo river. The local people are afraid that the fish in the river will eat Qu Yuans body, so they can put rice dumplings and other food into the river. After the death of Qu Yuan, the local legend went to the sky on a dragon boat. It was at the beginning of May each year five Dragon Boat Festival, dumplings, dragon boat racing has become an important activity.

In China, people like Dragon Boat Festival very much. Now people in the city are busy with their own work, so they cant sell their zongzi Festival, so they go to various supermarkets to buy. In the supermarket there are many types of dumplings, rice dumplings with bacon, candied dumplings, dumplings and so on, very much the pattern. After the dumplings are cooked in a pot, open the lid of the pot and smell it. It is full of the fragrance of the dumplings in the house, tasting a mouthful, and the sweet taste of the glutinous rice in the full mouth. Besides eating zongzi, people can also watch dragon boat racing. On the river, the dragon boat in front of the leading high, vivid. The whole dragon boat was narrow and long. There was a big drum in front, and one after another sat a lot of strong young men. With the sound of the drums, they paddled neatly on the surface of the water. For a while, splashing, drums, voice and the sound of refueling on the riverbank were coming up. The scene was magnificent and spectacular.

I like the Dragon Boat Festival, not only because it can eat delicious zongzi, see the wonderful dragon boat race, and more like its historical connotation. Every time I pass the Dragon Boat Festival, I can always think of Qu Yuan, think of his slamming and long sword, reciting "Li Sao" in the mouth, walking between the rivers and lakes, his loyalty and perseverance. His literary grace influences the generation of Chinese. If we compare traditional Chinese festivals to a piece of silk with jewels, then the Dragon Boat Festival is a bright pearl on the silk.

“失火了！失火了！”一声声叫喊吵醒了我。我揉着蒙眬的睡眼向窗外一看，呀，对面王阿姨家的小平房烧着了！那熊熊大火像恶魔一样吞噬着平房，滚滚浓烟从中涌出来。大火越来越猛，可却没有出来。我们都为王阿姨及她的家人捏了把汗。

"Fire!

Theres a fire! " A shout woke me up. I rubbed Mengs sleeping eyes and looked

out of the window. Ah, the small bungalow opposite Aunt Wangs house was

burning! The blaze devoured the bungalow like a demon, and smoke poured out of

it. The fire grew fiercer and fiercer, but it didnt come out. We all sweat for

Aunt Wang and her family.

在众人都在担忧时，王阿姨和她的家人却平安无事地逃了出来。原来，当大火来袭时，王阿姨没有惊慌失措，而是镇定地把家中的被子、棉衣全用水浸湿，裹在身上，并用湿毛巾捂住口、鼻，等火势稍小时逃了出来。没一会儿，消防员来了，他们立即扑灭了大火。

When

everyone was worried, Aunt Wang and her family escaped peacefully. It turned out

that when the fire hit, Aunt Wang did not panic, but calmly soaked the quilt and

cotton padded clothes in her home with water, wrapped them around her body,

covered her mouth and nose with a wet towel, and escaped a little later. After a

while, the firemen came, and they put out the fire immediately.

这次起火的原因，就是家里的易燃物品被烧着了，虽然是小物品，但是烧着了火势可不小哇！

The

reason for the fire is that the inflammables in the house are burned. Although

its small, the fire is not small!

will be hidden dangers around us. Students, we should keep fire safety in

Grandmother has a beautiful little cat, his white hair like a snow-like, the middle sandwiched a few pieces of ink fine hair, black and white, white is more white, and black more and more darker. Half of the face is white, half is black, hairy face inlaid with a pair of sapphire-like eyes, from time to time naughty to blink, sparkling. A white tail leisurely shaking, and from time to time came "meow, meow" call.

The cats character is really weird. Say it is honest, it is sometimes very good. It will find a warm place, sleep every day, carefree, nothing matter. But it decided to go out to play, it will go all day and night, despite how I call, it will never come back. Said he was fun to play it, but how it is due diligence, hear the mouse a little bit ringing, small cat on the breath of staring, a few hours is not a few hours, not to the mouse and so on! One to the dead of night, Eyes like an emerald in general, carefully observed around, if there are strangers or thieves into my house, then the cat will "meow, meow" to shout until I heard so far.

The cat is very naughty. Sometimes in your body to hear the right, right to scratch; sometimes jump on the table, jumping in the above jump; sometimes lying in the big shoes snoring. You will never blame him it is so vibrant, innocent and lovely! Every time I go to school when the cat has been around me to turn non-stop, as if to say: "little master, do not go, do not go And then accompany me to play for a while! "Home from school, went to the door, small cat as early as waiting, as if to say;" welcome the owner.

Little cat is still very greedy. Once, my mother bought a lot of fish on the balcony sun, small cat saw, happily jump up, the fish Diao down, devoured eat.

I like this little cat.

In the corner of my living room, stood a small fish tank. Fish tank four or four square, four walls like a trapped that goldfish. Fish tank is very small, can only accommodate two small goldfish. Since the other goldfish died, the rest of the goldfish no partner.

My family sometimes changed water for goldfish, but many times forgot to feed it, but it never starved to death. Although I rarely see it, but every time I see it, it is still very pleasant to swim. Sometimes, it saw me, more in the water with the tail, as if very happy.

One night I could not sleep, out of the living room to find something dry, but pay attention to the fish that fish. It swim alone, never stopped. This goldfish, even in such a harsh environment without any biological friends companion, lack of food, may not be sufficient space for the event. But also feel that this is a miracle: it is always healthy and happy to live. Small goldfish have succumbed to all the factors that are detrimental to it, the requirements of the living environment is just a box of water.

If this goldfish compared to people, perhaps, it is a poor, livelihood is enough to make ends meet, but he is still optimistic to live. Maybe he will look forward to the future, and the world really have such a person. Now, the society is rapidly changing, willpower weaker can not stand the changes in society, so self-mutilation reported when heard. Do not we even a goldfish is not it?

Work in this society, in addition to stress wisdom, but also need enough resilience - who knows you will not be demoted, deducted artificial, or even dismissed? As the goldfish, the harsh environment is not the same The most important thing is, how will you go to face if everyone is faced with difficulties and obstacles. Can think of the spirit of the goldfish, social negative emotions can be greatly reduced. Can everyone smile to face adversity, is not it more effective than escape?

Once upon a time there were two lovely kitten, one day, the kitten hungry want to go to catch fish to eat. Them to the pool and saw a few small fish swimming in the water. Chan cats mouth water. So they want to catch a fish. However, he accidentally fell into the water, on the shore. They try very hard to of is called "help", "help!".

At this moment, a big white geese swim, quickly hauled to the cats. From then on, they became good friends.

从前有两只可爱的小猫，有一天，两只小猫饿了想去捉鱼吃。它们到水池边，看见几条小鱼在水里游来游去。馋的小猫们口水直流。于是它们想捉一条鱼。可是，一不小心掉进了水里，上不了岸了。它们拼命的叫“救命啊”，“救命啊”。

这时，一只大白鹅游来了，飞快的把小猫们救上岸。从此，它们成了好朋友。

March breeze with moist, blows over the hills and fields, spring is coming.

Bid farewell to the cold winter, the birds fly freely in the sky, like to celebrate the arrival of spring.

You see, the sky white clouds forms and change multiterminal, like a magical magician magic from behind the clouds.

River, hits the trees smoke a lamina, greedy sucking the spring sunshine.

Ono flowers blossom, a swarm of bees "buzz" honey from flower to flower. A few butterflies came also, their beautiful wings hovering in the flowers, the flowers become more vibrant.

A stream wound its way into the distance, the glittering under the sun. A few duckling jumped into the water, exult in the water jump, chasing each other.

In large areas of wheat fields, green wheat seeding full sunshine rain and dew of spring, is thriving.

"The season of a year is in the spring, spring is the season of planting, is the season of nature is at its best, I love the beautiful spring.

三月的微风带着湿润的芬芳气息,吹过山峦和田野，春天来了。

告别了寒冷的冬天，鸟儿们在天空上自由自在的飞翔，像是在庆祝春天的到来。

你瞧，天上的白云形态各异，变化多端，像一位神奇的魔术师躲在云后变魔术呢。

河岸边，一棵棵树木抽枝展叶，贪婪吮吸着春天的阳光。

小野花们竞相开放，一大群蜜蜂“嗡嗡嗡”地在花间采蜜。几只蝴蝶也来了，它们那美丽的翅膀在花丛中时隐时现，花丛变得更加生机勃勃了。

一条小河弯弯曲曲伸向远方，河水在阳光的照射下金光闪闪。几只小鸭跳入水中，在水里欢腾跳跃，互相追逐。

在大片的麦田里，绿色的麦苗饱吸着春天的阳光雨露，正在茁壮成长。

“一年之季在于春”，春天是播种的季节，是万物欣欣向荣的季节，我爱美丽的春天。

Spring Festival is the most important festival for Chinese people. The Spring Festival is very exciting, especially on the eve of the Spring Festival.

春节对于中国人来说是最重要的节日。在每年的春节都让人兴高采烈，尤其是大年三十那晚，更是达到了高潮。

The Spring Festival lasts for 15 days, there would be starting on the first day, to the end of the January 15 Lantern Festival.it is the busiest time of the year for Chinese people. The arrangements they have to make for family reunions， buying necessities and preparing food keeps them busy throughout the holiday. Many of them travel back home and meet friends over dinner and drinks. The celebrations include decorating the house and setting off fireworks.But we are talking about a tradition that seems to be fading.

春节一共有15天，从大年初一开始，到元月十五元宵节这一天结束。在这段比较长的时间是中国人最忙的时候，他们为家庭聚会作安排，采购年货，准备丰盛的食物，以至于整个春节假期都忙忙碌碌的。许多人在春季期间都要回老家过年，跟朋友碰碰头，聚个餐。庆祝春节也包括大扫除和放烟火。但是我们现在要谈的是越来越淡的年味。

Spring Festival， as it is celebrated today， has undergone many changes， thanks to the country‘s economic development and globalization.

现在的春节已经因为我国经济的发展和全球化的影响而改变了很多。

Yet no Spring Festival is complete without food. People could not get good food whenever they desired in earlier times， something that does not apply to society today. More often than not， people faced the risk of famine. The best time for people to celebrate was when food was available in plenty， and that was possible in spring， or the beginning of the lunar new year. That was the main reason why Spring Festival acquired such great importance among Chinese people.

但是没有哪个春节是完全离得开“吃”的。从前，不论人们提前多久想要买年货，总是不能如愿，而现在早已今非昔比。过去常常还要闹饥荒。人们最好的庆祝时间就是他们能得到食物丰盛的时候，也就是春天或是元月初的那段时间。那也是为什么春节对于中国人如此重要的主要原因。

But three decades of economic growth has ensured that people in China， except for those who are still poor， can enjoy a good meal whenever they want. Such has been the change in people‘s fortune that some have to be treated for obesity and other health problems associated with excessive eating.

但是三十年来的经济发展已经让中国人，除了那些仍然穷苦的人以外，随时都能享受美食。这得益于人民财富的增长，但是后者也导致一些人吃得太多而受到肥胖威胁和健康问题。

In the past， celebrations were limited to events like song-and-dance duets in North China， dragon/lion dances in South China and fireworks， which required the joint efforts of the entire community. But economic development and urbanization seems to have weakened the social links among people. Many， especially those living in cities， are not interested in celebrating the festival with people they hardly know.

在过去，庆祝春节还只停留在北方的二人转和南方的舞龙舞狮等形式。那些庆祝活动往往需要许多人合力才能办得起来。但是经济的发展和国际化程度的提升似乎已经将这种社会联系弱化了。许多人，特别是城市居民，不太愿意与不相识的人一起共度春节。

Many customs associated with Spring Festival have changed， too. In the past， people used to visit relatives and friends with gifts and lots of good wishes. Today， many people， especially the youth， use their cell phones or the Internet to send their good wishes and even "gifts" to their relatives and friends. Some may say this a sign that people have become less caring about their near and dear ones， but we should see this development as a time- and energy-saving exercise granted by the information age.

与春节相关的许多习俗也被改变了。在过去，人们常常会带着礼物走亲访友，互道祝福。今天许多人，特别是年轻人，用手机或是网络向亲朋好友发去“礼物”和祝福。有些人或许会说，这说明人们已经没有那么关心至爱亲朋了，但是我们应该把这种变化看作信息化时代省钱省力的好办法。

In recent times， many people have started praying for a career promotion or more money instead of invoking God or the Buddha for a healthy and long life and the welfare of their family. But the number of such people is decreasing now， which shows that people are becoming more reasonable.

最近几年，许多人开始祈祷事业高升，财源滚滚，而不是求神拜佛，他们身体健康，长命百岁，家庭美满。但是这样的人数现在正在减少，说明人们开始变得更加理性。

今天我到下面院子里玩的时候，看见天上的云很像棉花糖，我就想飞上天吃云，可我没有飞行器，飞不了啊，飞机也不行，主要是我不知道云会不会一站在上面就掉到地上?我要登天是不太可能的。长大以后我要当科学家，做一艘火箭飞上天，去试一下云朵是什么味道。

Today, when I went to play in the yard below, I saw that the clouds in the

sky were like marshmallows. I wanted to fly to the sky and eat the clouds. But I

didnt have an aircraft. I couldnt fly. I couldnt fly either. I didnt know if

the cloud would fall to the ground as soon as I stood on it. Its impossible for

me to go to the sky. When I grow up, I want to be a scientist. I want to be a

rocket and fly to the sky. I want to try the taste of

clouds.

今天是一年一度的除夕。中国人的传统习俗一般都是在这天晚上只吃饺子，我家却年年做“年夜大餐”。看，今年的年夜饭多么丰盛呀！

Today is the annual New Years Eve. The traditional Chinese custom is usually only to eat dumplings on this night, but my family is doing &ldquo every year; the big meal ” Look, what a great meal this year!

下午四点多，我们全家便开始忙碌的工作起来。第一种食物当然还是饺子，它毕竟是传统食物，给它个排老一的机会。和面、拌馅、包饺子我们分工细致，这饺子香不香可就在这和面、拌馅上。馅儿拌好了吃起来香，面和好了薄皮大馅儿更是让人舍不得放嘴呀。当然这包饺子也很重要哟！如果包的不美观谁都不爱吃哟，所以包饺子也是一门学问滴。爸妈把面、馅儿都准备好了，该我大显身手了。我左手捏一个，右手拿一个 ，一会儿，一个个小贝壳似的饺子就呈现在我眼前。第一道工序做完，该到下一步了——做满汉全席。

More than four in the afternoon, our family began to work in a busy way. The first kind of food, of course, is a dumpling. Its a traditional food after all, giving it an opportunity to get older. With the noodles, the stuffing and the dumplings, we have a fine division of labor. The dumplings are not fragrant on the noodles and the stuffing.

妈妈准备了近十几种菜———鸡鸭鱼肉样样齐全，还有各种青菜。快看，我家的烹饪大师——“李大厨”（本人的妈妈）来了。只见她右手拿着炒锅，左手拿着勺子，走进了厨房。先炒蒜苔，后炒木耳，最后炒银耳。顿时，厨房里传出噼噼啪啪的爆炒声，同时也飘散出了炒菜了清香。屋外也想起了噼里啪啦的鞭炮声，空气里弥漫上了火药的气息。屋里屋外这热闹的景象混合在一起，真有一番过年的景象。妈妈把各种各样的肉变着花样做出各种各样的菜。我还给这些凉菜、热菜分别取了好听的名字：百花争艳、芙蓉水上漂、莲子鸡汤、水果沙拉……光听这些名字你肯定也早就口水流了三千尺吧！

终于等到了开饭，一盘盘色香味俱全、香喷喷的饭菜端上桌来，我看得眼花缭乱。开饭喽！我狼吞虎咽的把这美味佳肴直往嘴里塞，吃了一个圆溜溜的小肚子。妈妈把果汁和红酒拿出来，倒在高脚杯里。这是我们每年必备的一个节目———新年祝愿（每年的年夜饭前我们都要把自己认为最好的祝愿送给家人）。今年还是我第一个上场，我端起酒杯祝愿爸爸和妈妈———寿比南山，笑口常开，工作顺利。爸爸妈妈也把他们的祝愿送给了我，祝我身体健康天天好心情。然后我们端起酒杯，“干杯”！我们的家真是一个温馨和睦的家庭，我爱我家。
