我们家养了一只特别可爱的小狗，名叫“贝贝”。

这只小狗刚进我家的时候，我非常害怕，因为那时候我才4岁，小狗也是忐忑不安。我每次吃饭的时候，小狗贝贝总是在我的旁边徘徊，我心里总是害怕，生怕小狗咬我!我实在忍不住了，就把3块骨头扔到它的面前，小狗贝贝看见了，嘴里叫着“贝贝，贝贝”，于是，就津津有味的吃了起来。

慢慢的，我和贝贝就非常熟悉了。又一次，我带着我的小狗贝贝当沙堆上玩耍，我看看贝贝，它在沙堆上狗刨了起来，当时我没在意，不过，一会儿我再看我的小狗时，它却静静悄悄的不见了。我当时着急的不知道是什么感觉，我赶紧到沙堆上挖沙，挖了个窟窿，忽然，我看到了一双眼睛，我吓得叫了一声：“鬼呀，有鬼呀，快来人呀!”我的小狗贝贝竟然出来了，我有看了看那个地方，那双眼睛不见了，我一想：“诶呀!我怎么没想到呀!原来那个眼睛是我的小狗贝贝的呀，我可真笨!”

我的小狗贝贝很可爱吧!你一定很羡慕吧，嘻嘻，这就是我的小狗，“贝贝”!!

狗是人们的好伙伴，人人都喜欢狗，我也不例外。因此，只要我一看见小狗就会逗它玩。

有一天，我走过一家小店，看见店里面有一只可爱的小狗。那小狗有一双温柔的大眼睛，水灵灵的，就像两颗黑宝石，两只大耳朵，向下耷拉着，就像两片大 荷叶上沾满了绒毛。我走到小狗面前，他冲着我摇尾巴，好像在欢迎我。我从他身边走过，他也跑过来，还轻轻地叫了两声，好像在说：“我漂亮吗？你喜欢我 吗？”我也学着小狗“汪汪”地叫两声，意思是：你很漂亮，我喜欢你。

我和小狗玩起来，用手去吓他。它用小脚来踢我，在我那白色的裤子上印了两朵小梅花。我装着很生气的样子，去追赶它 。它跑得更快了。我想，难道我还跑不过你？便把力气全使在脚上，像骏马一样向前飞奔。小狗也不示弱，使出吃奶的劲拼命追。一会儿工夫，胜负分晓，胜者是 我，败者小狗。我得意地说：“一只狗怎么能胜过聪明的我呢？”小狗“汪汪地叫着，好像很不服气。

我带小狗来到一堵废弃的墙前，这堵墙约有半米高。我纵身一跃，就跳了过去，回头看看小狗，吹一声口哨，小狗立即跳起来。不料身体重重地撞在矮墙上， 摔了个四脚朝天，把我逗得哈哈大笑。小狗用尾巴打着矮墙，好像要再来一次。我把一块砖头抛到小狗面前，它吓得往后退。我指着小狗的鼻子嚷道：“你这笨狗， 我给你垫高了，你还不跳啊！”小狗楞了一会儿，撒腿向旁边跑去，原来，他想出了绕过来的好办法。我见它这样机智，哈哈大笑，等小狗跑到我面前，就弯下腰， 把它抱了起来。

我和小狗正玩得尽兴，小狗的主人来了，要把小狗抱走。临走时，我给小狗一个飞吻，小狗也圆睁着双眼望着我……

我喜欢这只可爱的小狗，它是那样的机智灵活，生气勃勃。

外婆家养了一只很可爱的小狗，它的名字叫“汪汪”。汪汪的全身都是灰白色的毛，光滑柔顺，眼睛像颗小黑豆贼溜溜地转。毛茸茸的尾巴总是摆来摆去好像在荡秋千，很讨人喜欢。

汪汪如果肚子饿了，就会汪汪大叫。这时外婆就像得到紧急命令一般赶快拿东西喂它。汪汪听到熟悉的脚步声，快速朝外婆奔去，扑向她手里端的食物，用嘴叨起它喜欢的骨头，急匆匆地跑回狗屋。两只眼睛迅速往四处瞅了瞅，确认没人跟它抢食物了，这才津津有味地啃起骨头来。

吃饱喝足了的汪汪，用爪子刨起脚底下的沙土起来玩，玩腻了就慢吞吞地走进窝用爪子梳理一下凌乱的毛，然后把前脚往前一伸，后脚往后一蹬，身体舒舒服服地贴在地上，打了一个哈欠，呼噜噜地睡起觉来了。

汪汪也像人一样有时候也会无聊。这时住在外婆家的弟弟就会跑过来逗它玩。弟弟高大地站在汪汪的面前，伸出两只手上下摆动，嘴里念着“牵牵手，牵牵手”。这时汪汪就会用后脚立起来，挺直身子，前脚伸出来搭在弟弟的手上，握手起来。这是我和弟弟训练的成果。

可爱的小狗始终是我心里的牵挂。周末一有时间，我就回外婆家逗它玩。

我家有一只超级可爱的小狗，我给它取名叫“汪汪”。

它长得瘦瘦的、矮矮的，乌黑锃亮的毛，圆溜溜的头上长着一对尖尖的小耳朵，一双水汪汪的大眼睛和爱品尝美味的嘴，最特别的就是它的小鼻子，一抽一抽地，好像在寻找美食，小小的身子后拖着一条毛茸茸的大尾巴，真是可爱极了！

汪汪什么都喜欢吃。有一天，它没有吃饭跑到外面去把邻居家的菜吃了，真是一只不挑食的狗，我和奶奶发现了，赶紧跟邻居道歉，可它呢！一副满不在乎的样子，好像在说：“我只是饿极了，跑你这儿吃了几颗青菜嘛，别那么小气。”汪汪还喜欢到处跑、跳，经常把奶奶的菜给踩坏了，我好言相劝，耐心地教育它，从那以后，就再也没有发生这样的事了。我终于相信汪汪听得懂人话呢！除此之外，汪汪还有一大特点——爱睡觉。早上，汪汪刚迷迷糊糊的醒来，摇摇晃晃的走了几步，“汪”了一声，就又趴下了，我想它应该是在学习公鸡起床打鸣呢！我一看时钟，妈呀！都10点了，我还以为很早呢！嘿嘿，汪汪变成“懒公鸡”了，哈哈哈！

尽管汪汪有些不听话，有些调皮，可它身上那种“知错就改”的美德值得我学习，所以，我很喜欢它！

Tomb Sweeping Day is on the April 5th every year. Its a day to show our great respect to our deceased ancestors. On that day, we usually sweep the tomb of our ancestors and offer them food and drinks. We also burn paper money to them. It is believed that our ancestors in heaven will receive the money. Besides, everything in our nature takes on a new look on that day, so its the best time for spring outing. It must be fun and relaxing.

我家养了一只可爱的小狗，名字叫花花。

它全身雪白雪白的，两个像大黑宝石似的眼睛在太阳的照射下闪闪发亮，小鼻子黑黑的，两个耳朵一轻轻一动就能听到周围的动静，厉害吧！有客人来时，它总是跑到客人跟前摇着尾巴汪汪的叫，好像在说："欢迎欢迎。”

它喜欢吃鱼刺和骨头，喜欢玩一顶旧帽子，有一天我发现帽子脏了，就把它扔到一边，没有想到它不吃不喝到处找，到了晚上还不睡，没办法把那顶帽子洗了洗又给它。

早晨，我带它出去晨练，我们两个赛跑，它比我跑的还快，太阳公公笑着说："小狗跑得真快，比你主人跑的还快哩。”它摇摇尾巴说："太阳公公你就别夸我了，我就不好意思了。”

有一次，它生病了，什么也不吃还直吐，我急得哭了，就和妈妈给它喂了些药，第二天好了，我高兴极了，它又摇着尾巴跑过来对我汪汪叫好像在说：“谢谢主人，我饿了。”

这就是我家的小狗，你说可不可爱？

我家有一只活泼的小狗。

我给它取了一个好听的名字——旺旺。

旺旺是一只泰迪狗，一身的棕色卷毛，尾巴短短的，形耳朵像树叶，眼睛又大又亮，鼻子黑黑的，漂亮极了。

活泼好动是旺旺的特点，它这个性格，我的个天爷，经常给你来一出有惊无险的事情来。有一回，我没有给它拴绳子，它就趁我不注意，跑进了草丛。我叫了老半天，它才出来，可吓坏我了，真是。旺旺啊，你以后可不能乱跑了！

旺旺还还是个美食家，什么食物都想尝尝。而且，你要是晚一下给它吃，它就会“汪汪”地叫个不停。有一次，爸爸刚买回来的狗粮，还没来得及放进它的房间，它竟自己跑过去，把狗粮都吃掉了。

怎么样，旺旺可爱吧？

我的朋友啊，像旺旺一样的小狗，难道你不想拥有一只吗？

算起来，自己也上了10几年的学了，和老师打的交道也不算少的。自打到了初三，我和老师的关系就越来越密切了，隔三差五的，我就要去和老师交流下感情，那个点击率啊，真是高啊。每天，必有一次谈心。我不知道为什么，我只知道，老师特别喜欢和我聊天。

第一次月考完了之后，我不小心，在全年级进步了70多名。我并没付出什么努力，该怎么玩还是怎么玩，可能就是老前辈们说的，雨花石偶尔反一下光。所以，我上课要打瞌睡的这个习惯还是没改。有一天，我和同桌闹了矛盾，她就不帮我看着老师了，任由我睡，她也不管了，正好，上课的时候是班主任的课。结果可想而知，我被老师抓住了。老师说：“刘柏森，下课来下办公室。”我站起来点点头，说：“我可以坐下了么？”“你给我站着。”“拜托，老师，昨晚上看历史书来着，没睡好，站着，我睡不着。”全班一阵安静。老师笑了(历史老师)：“什么？昨晚上看历史？嗯，不错，你坐下吧……”忽然反应过来，“你什么意思啊？看历史你就不站了啊？站着，没什么好说的！”下课后，我到了办公室里蹲下。老师回过头，看着成绩表说：“你是不是考得好嘛！看下你成绩嘛！比上次期末……”她拿着尺子从成绩表上划下来，划到我的名字上，愣了一下，清了清嗓子说：“我们先不说这个成绩的问题，我们先说一下你上课睡觉的问题……”我无语。

某天，英语老师上课的时候，写了个句子出来全班狂笑，我也跟着笑。老师问：“这个句子错在哪里？刘柏森，你来说下。”我笑不出来了。别说，我还真没看出来哪是错的，我站起来，盯着那个句子半天说：“不知道。”老师提醒道：“几个动词了都？”我数了数：“好象多了点，3个。”老师说：“这什么句子都不是，是按照主语从句搞出来的，主语从句我都多少年没用过了，我都是二昏二昏的，你们还敢用？”我又笑起来。老师白了我一眼：“还笑，就是你写的！”我一愣，我写的？老师又接着说：“这就是你写的，还高手呢，写的都是什么啊？”我看了看我的作文本，我写的是“。”于是我说：“那个不是我写的。”“反正也是半斤八两。”我再看了看：“没错，格式是正确的。”从此，就没人再把我当成英语高手了。

摸底考试完了之后，我下降了很多，原因我就不说了，班主任大人一看成绩，顿时火冒三丈，把我叫到办公室说：“怎么回事你？是不是想其他去了？手伸出来，我要好好教训你。”说罢，拿起那把教棍，对着我的手一通乱打，然后问：“记住好好学习没有？”“记住了。”“好了，你走吧。”我抬起头，刚要走出去，老师又把我叫住：“回来！”我问：“还有什么事？”老师说：“你还有什么没说的？”我想了想，没想出来，旁边一个蹲在地上的哥们说：“一看就是不怎么进办公室的，你忘了说‘谢谢老师’了。”我一听，赶紧说：“谢谢老师。”老师点点头：“嗯，去吧。”我的那个汗啊……

我现在正在期待究竟在初三下期还会有什么样的事情发生……

Last summer holiday, I visited to Xiamen with my parentsby plane. My

English teacher once told us that Xiamen is a beautiful city that worth of

visiting. We stayed there for four days. We lived in a small fishing village. On

the first day, we visited to Xiamen University and Nanputuo Temple. Xiamen

University is consideredas the most beautiful and romantic campus in China.

Indeed, its fantastic and its buildings are distinctive. On the second days, we

enjoyed the scenery of Jimei District. On the third day, We visited to Gulangyu.

Its amazing and I like it very much. There are many small specific stores.

However, the huge tourist visitors make the small island crowed. Anyway, it was

a pleasant trip.

Water is very important to us. If you don’t have water for three days, you

will die. We can use water for flowers, swimming, washing and many different

things. We use it to cook, make electricity, put out fires and so on. We use

millions of liters of water every day.

Do you know how does the water come to your home? It travels through water

pipes. Some are long and wide but some are short and narrow. Then the water

travels through the water pipes to the reservoirs. Then it travels through the

water pipes to the river and to the special factories (we call water plants)

that purify the water. When the water is purified, we can drink it. Please don’t

leave garbage in the water on which we line, and keep the water clean.

我喜欢小狗，小狗的叫声可温柔了。可我不知道，狗生气、开心，在我面前撒娇时到底怎样叫。来吧！我们去看看。

小狗平时很文静，所以我给他起名叫静静。静静只要想出去散步时就会在我面前快乐的叫上个五、六声并吐几下舌头，好像在说：“主人，我想出去玩。”我同意了，它就开心的在地上乱跑，不同意的话，它就不理我了。

只要我有时间就教它各种动作，我的小狗自从会站立，就高傲的不得了，我又给它换了个名字“女神”——女神是只母狗，它学动作时可开心了，而且叫的特别大声，没多久就学会了。每当它想吃点东西时，总装得一副可怜巴巴的样子，我看着它这么可爱能不给它狗粮吗！

在一个冬天，我的女神出去半天没有回来，直到第二天中午才回来。我见它瑟瑟发抖就先用热水袋为它保暖，然后小狗呻吟了一下，原来它把自己的“手”碰伤了，我用医用品为小狗包扎一下。随后，我决定惩罚它一下，将它关进小黑屋——用废旧纸箱制作的。当它“出狱”时，它像从前那样不理我。但我还按时给它吃东西、洗澡，没几天，它又可怜巴巴地来到的我面前，摇着尾巴转来转去，我们和好了，从那以后我决定好好照顾它，不再让它受伤。

这就是我的小狗，一个让我的生活充实、给我许多欢乐的小家伙。

马艺玮

“粽子头，梅花脚屁股挂把指挥刀坐着反比立着高。”小朋友们你们猜到这是什么了吗？我来告诉你吧，这就是小狗。

它的毛非常白，摸起来毛茸茸的，像棉花糖。耳朵像两个三角形，一直是竖着的。眼睛圆圆的，像两颗黑色的珍珠一样。小小的鼻子总是湿湿的，下面是一张大大的嘴巴，舌头会时不时的伸出来，露出她洁白又锋利的牙齿，尾巴像钟摆一样甩来甩去，可爱极了。

我的小狗还很懂事。记得有一次我生日，走到家门口，它就对我汪汪直叫，还直摇尾巴，原来它是也在祝福我生日快乐。妈妈端来了蛋糕，它也凑在一边，我吹蜡烛的时候，它的两只前脚也抬起来凑到一起，好像在给我祝福许愿，你说他是不是很懂事呀？

这就是我的动物伙伴，你们喜欢吗？

姥姥家养了一只可爱的小狗，我十分喜欢它，还给它取了一个好听的名字，叫做“贝贝”。下面让它给我们做一个自我介绍吧！

大家好，我叫贝贝，是一只意大利斗牛犬。我们意大利斗牛犬家族，在狗的世界里，可是很名贵的哦，你可不要小看了我。

贝贝是我们全家的开心果。虽然贝贝来我们家才半个月，可我们早已把它当做了家庭中的一员。特别是姥爷，一会儿看不见贝贝就坐立不安的。一有时间，就带着贝贝去公园散步，而贝贝也特别听话。我写完作业，就会训练它做一些日常小事。比如说：找东西、叼拖鞋。贝贝非常聪明，我一说它就会懂。现在，贝贝都已经学会拿拖鞋了呢！

要是说小狗会听音乐，你信吗？你还别说，我们家的贝贝好像真的能听懂音乐似的。

有一次，我正在看电视，贝贝趴在地上玩妈妈给它买的小皮球，我调到了“同一首歌”这个栏目，里面的歌手正在唱歌。贝贝听到了，把小皮球一扔，一个猛子扑过来，我都不知道怎么回事，贝贝冲着电视汪汪地大叫，还在那里上蹿下跳。那姿势，跟马戏团的小丑有一拼。那样子，好像在为歌曲伴舞呢！贝贝的行为把我们一家都逗得哈哈大笑，房间里充满了温馨和温暖。不知怎的，自从那次以后，贝贝只要一听到音乐，就会高兴地手舞足蹈起来。这给我们可带来了不少乐趣呢。这下你明白，我为什么说小狗也能听懂音乐了吧！

听了我们家贝贝的故事，你是不是也想养一条小狗呢？

在我家的狗窝里，趴着一只黄白相间的小狗。它长着一双圆圆的水灵灵的眼睛，有一个又黑又小的灵敏的鼻子，一张贪吃的嘴巴，加上两只耷拉着的耳朵，就组成了小狗的脸。

小狗很淘气，每当我在做作业或者看书的时候，它总会在椅子下面"汪汪汪"地叫着，一条尾巴不停地左右摇摆，还拿身子蹭我的腿，弄得我心不在焉。要是我不理它，它便垂头丧气地走开了。它没事做就去扒草、扒花，这些花草可糟了殃。它还会去追赶鸡群，把鸡追到很远的地方，弄得它们惊慌失措，狼狈不堪。从此以后，只要这些鸡见了我家的狗都会逃得远远的。

小狗也很可爱，特别是它睡觉时候的样子。它有时会把自己缩成一团，把尾巴也往身子这边弯成一条弧线状，有时又会侧身翻倒在地上，惬意地伸着那四条腿。它要是碰上蝴蝶在身边飞，总是试着去扑，一下没扑到，它再扑，这样反反复复的，看的人都替它累得慌。终于，它扑到了，就用爪子拨弄，还咧着嘴巴对蝴蝶轻吼。不过，一会儿工夫它又把辛辛苦苦抓到的蝴蝶放了。

这就是我家的小狗，淘气又可爱。

我家小狗的岁数跟我差不多，它的名字叫阿黄，一双耳朵翘翘的像两个三角形，深夜的时候它的眼睛绿得发亮，鼻子黑乎乎的，嘴唇里长着一排锋利的牙齿，黄黑相件的毛像披了一件大衣，四只又长又细的腿。

我经常带它去散步，人们看见了都说：“这只狗真像狼！”因为它长得又肥又壮。它的特长是跳舞和捉老鼠，每次我和妈妈出去玩回来时，它就高兴得蹦得老高，还扑到我身上舔舔我，还在地上一直滚来滚去，有时还跳起舞来。每到深夜它就捉起老鼠，有时一堆箱子挡在它前面，他就猛撞，直捉到老鼠为止才肯罢休。

怎么样我家的阿黄是不是很有趣？

Today, many people, especially young people, are phone freaks. They are addicted to their mobile phones. They always spend too much time chatting or watching movies on their mobile phones. They have less time to communicate with their friends and family members. They often feel anxious without mobile phones.

Depending on mobile phones too much is a kind of illness. Its bad for health. Looking at the mobile phones too often is bad for our eyes. Playing with mobile phones is a waste of time and gets in the way of study.

Phones can help us communicate more easily and know more about whats happening around the world. If we can use them at proper time and proper situations, they can help us have a better, happier life.

这几天我们家养了一只小狗，名字叫点点。它是我陶丽姐姐送给我的，我非常喜欢它。

它才两个月，就已经会跑、会跳了，这是因为它的品种是吉娃娃。不过，它不会旺旺的叫，只会嗯嗯的叫。

它挠痒痒时非常搞笑，用后爪挠自己的耳朵或别的地方，挠完后，还用力抖抖身体，好像要抖掉身上的脏东西。

它睡觉时也非常好玩，把自己缩成一团睡觉，让我们觉得它非常冷。

它走路时也非常有趣，走着路，它的屁股一扭一扭，好像是在走模特步，让我们欣赏。

虽然它那么可爱，但我还是有烦恼，那就是它会随便大小便。不过我想出了一个好办法，就是每次都把它带到一个地方去大小便，这样长时间它就知道在哪里大小便了。从今天起我就要训练它在一个地方大小便。

我相信我一定能训练成功，因为有志者事竟成；因为一份耕耘、一份收获；还因为世上无难事，只要肯登攀。

小狗点点非常可爱，我很喜欢它。

As the drawing presents, there is a man walking across the street absorbedly focusing on his cell phone without noticing the surroundings. This sort of phenomenon is not uncommon and rare in some metropolis, especially among the youngsters.

What the picture illustrates is the prevailing situation that has long existed in todays China. That is the mobile phone obsession. With the advent of information age, people are becoming increasingly fascinated on the electronic products, especially the cell phones. Not surprisingly, you could easily notice that most of us are obsessed in sending messages, playing online games with their mobile phones. It cannot be denied that this phenomenon may negatively impact the relationship among people, and therefore they will become estranged and isolated.

Personally, in view of the overuse of mobile phones, I hold that we individuals should raise the necessary awareness that good relationship are reinforced by sincere and face-to-face communication.

Our familys puppy is called "yellow yellow". It is long with a long yellow hair; watery eyes still long with sweat more than the nose; tail hairy, like a long chicken scattered.

One time to see it cute? Haha! Or let me tell you! Once, I came home from school, happy to pick up my fathers cell phone, ready to "yellow" camera. I came to the kennel before the call to the "yellow ... ... yellow", it immediately fleeing out from the bushes, hurry to run in front of me, shaking the hairy big tail.

I looked, hurriedly squatted down, opened the phone. "Yellow yellow" in front of me back and forth a few steps to see me open the phone, turned down, his tongue spit it out, as if to say: "master. Shoot good ah!" I read, give it a shot A big head stickers, after the film, I got it in front of him to see just take a good photo. Looking at the phone in their own, "yellow" happy shaking his tail, as if to show off, said: "look at me, how handsome! Do you have me than handsome?

Another time, about 10 oclock or so, "yellow" to see a black and fat rat, brave and brave it rushed up, but unfortunately did not catch, it was run to the board, and this scene just I saw it, and I called "yellow yellow", it heard my call, quickly ran over, so when it came, I said: "Go and catch the mouse!" It seems to understand my words , Standing next to the board for a while, did not wait. So, it looked at me with a poor look, as if to say: "Lord ... Master, I ... did not catch the mouse, I ... ..."

"Well, do not catch it!" I said with a grin. The voice of the original, sad it has become a lively and lovely puppy, went to me, with my tongue on my feet, or biting the hairy big tail.

Ah! "Yellow", you really have been lovely puppy ah! I am proud of you.

Clearly if we are to participate in the society in which we live we must

communicate with other people.

A great deal of communicating is performed on a person-to-person basis by

the simple means of speech.

If we travel in buses, buy things in shops, or eat in restaurants, we are

likely to have conversations where we give information or opinions, receive news

or comment, and very likely have our views challenged by other members of

society.

Face-to-face contact is by no means the only form of communication and

during the last two hundred years the art of mass communication has become one

of the dominating factors of contemporary society.

Firstly, inventiveness has led to advances in printing, telecommunications,

photography, radio and television.

Secondly, speed has revolutionized the transmission and reception of

communications so that local news often takes a back seat to national news,

which itself is often almost eclipsed by international news.

No longer is the possession of information confined to a privileged

minority.

In the last century the wealthy man with his own library was indeed

fortunate, but today there are public libraries.

Forty years ago people used to flock to the cinema, but now far more people

sit at home and turn on the TV to watch a program that is being channeled into

millions of homes.

Communication is no longer merely concerned with the transmission of

information.

The modern communication industry influences the way people live in society

and broadens their horizons by allowing access to information, education and

entertainment.

The printing, broadcasting and advertising industries are all involved with

informing, educating and entertaining.

Although a great deal of the material communicated by the mass media is

very valuable to the individual and to the society of which he is a part, the

vast modern network of communications is open to abuse.

However, the mass media are with us for better, for worse, and there is no

turning back.
