Spring girl walked with light steps reluctant to leave. She turned around, the beautifulSummerquietly came to our side.

Although I like spring, I like summer better.

Summer is hot. The hot sun hung high in the air, the heat and sprinkle to the earth. I like summer, because we can wear thin clothes, can be lightly dancing with the wind.

Summer is all grown up period, every day in the growth of plant. You see the green vine beans overnight in scaffolding, can grow very high. Zhu Zilin, you listen to the voice of sorghum fields, in a bar in the sound, more than half of the night. The scenery here is so beautiful!

Summer is relaxed. A lot of people are like holding a fishing rod to go fishing.

At noon, the old people sitting in the shade under a tree, they take a leisurely fan fan, beside the dog vomit a bright red tongue, slightly closed eyes lazily lying on the ground.

秋天带着一身金黄，迈着轻盈的脚步，悄悄地来到了我们身边。

Autumn, with a golden body, walked with light footsteps, quietly came to us.

天空瓦蓝瓦蓝的，蓝得像一汪海水，像一颗刚洗过的蓝宝石。一朵朵白云像一条条小鱼在游动，真像一幅优美的水墨画。

Sky blue, blue like a sea, like a washed sapphire. After a white clouds, like a small fish swimming, really like a beautiful ink painting.

我们来到果园，苹果咧开嘴，好像在欢迎我们来品尝果实，鸭梨的香味把我们的小脚钩住了，石榴咧开嘴露出了一颗颗红宝石。

We came to the orchard and the apple opened its mouth as though it were welcoming us to taste the fruit. The aroma of pear caught our little feet and the pomegranate opened its mouth and revealed many rubies.

我们来到田野，秋姑娘已经把这里撒成了金黄色，整个田野变成了金色的海洋。玉米露出了一粒粒黄宝石，高粱笑弯了腰，农民伯伯在收割水稻，水稻好像在说：“农民伯伯把我们从小养大，谢谢他们的养育之恩，

Now we can finally repay the farmer uncle, and the farmer uncle is also proud of his achievements.

秋天真美丽啊!我爱这迷人的秋天。

Autumn is really beautiful! I love the enchanting autumn.

The significant inscription found on an old key "If I rest, I rust" would be an excellent motto for those who are afflicted with the slightest taint of idleness. Even the most industrious might adopt it with advantage to serve as a reminder that, if one allows his faculties to rest, like the iron in the unused key, they will soon show signs of rust and, ultimately, cannot do the work required of them.

在一把旧钥匙上发现了一则意义深远的铭文——如果我休息，我就会生锈。对于那些懒散而烦恼的人来说，这将是至理名言。甚至最为勤勉的人也以此作为警示：如果一个人有才能而不用，就像废弃钥匙上的铁一样，这些才能就会很快生锈，并最终无法完成安排给自己的工作。

Those who would attain the heights reached and kept by great men must keep their faculties polished by constant use, so that they may unlock the doors of knowledge, the gate that guard the entrances to the professions, to science, art, literature, agriculture --- every department of human endeavor.

有些人想取得伟人所获得并保持的成就，他们就必须不断运用自身才能，以便开启知识的大门，即那些通往人类努力探求的各个领域的大门，这些领域包括各种职业：科学，艺术，文学，农业等。

Industry keeps bright the key that opens the treasury of achievement. If Hugh Miller, after toiling all day in a quarry, had devoted his evenings to rest and recreation, he would never have become a famous geologist. The celebrated mathematician, Edmund Stone, would never have published a mathematical dictionary, never have found the key to science of mathematics, if he had given his spare moments to idleness. Had the little Scotch lad, Ferguson, allowed the busy brain to go to sleep while he tended sheep on the hillside instead of calculating the position of the stars by a string of beads, he would never have become a famous astronomer

勤奋使开启成功宝库的钥匙保持光亮。如果休米勒在采石场劳作一天后，晚上的时光用来休息消遣的话，他就不会成为名垂青史的地质学家。著名数学家爱德蒙斯通如果闲暇时无所事事，就不会出版数学词典，也不会发现开启数学之门的钥匙。如果苏格兰青年弗格森在山坡上放羊时，让他那思维活跃的大脑处于休息状态，而不是借助一串珠子计算星星的位置，他就不会成为著名的天文学家。

Labor vanquishes all --- not inconstant, spasmodic, or ill-directed labor, but faithful, unremitting, daily effort toward a well-directed purpose. Just as truly as eternal vigilance is the price of liberty, so is eternal industry the price of noble and enduring success.

劳动征服一切。这里所指的劳动不是断断续续的，间歇性的或方向偏差的劳动，而是坚定的，不懈的，方向正确的每日劳动。正如要想拥有自由就要时刻保持警惕一样，要想取得伟大的，持久的成功，就必须坚持不懈地努力。

I have a lovely puppy. Its name is "Huanhuan", 2 years old this year, with my birthday is the same day.

Set the fishing tools, put the bait hanging on the hook, and then I put the bait hanging fish hook thrown into the water, sitting there waiting for the fish hooked. I waited for about an hour, did not see the fish drift, I began to impatient, and walked around. My father saw, said: "do things have patience." Listen to my father, I sit back next to the fishing rod, and soon, really fish hook, wow, a big fish ah! We picked up this The fish went home happily.

Through the fishing so that I understand the work must be patient.

The streets will be less crowded. And driving will be safer as these little cars can go only 65 km per hour.

It will run away, ran to his house, to hide tightly, so you go, it continues to play.

Little white rabbit is like a clean, every morning, with their hind legs standing with a jaw to wash their own face, every month to give it a bath, after washing to dry it, or else it Will be cold. Little white rabbits do not like the dark and humid places, like warm places.

Should men and women be equal? Different people have different ideas on this issue. Some people think that men are superior to women, because men are physically strong. They are better at heavy labor work. And they can also carry on the family lines and hold the important positions. However, other people don’t agree on this idea. They believe that women are as capable as men. Sometimes, women can even do a lot of things better than men, for they are more careful, patient, and responsible. Now there have been so many women leaders and women scientists in the world. Accordingly, we shouldn’t look down upon women. Instead, men and women should be given the equal right and chance to study and work, so that they can do some even greater contributions to our nation. As far as I am concerned, I am in favor of the latter.

男女是否应该平等?在这个问题上不同的人有不同的看法。有些人认为男性优于女性，因为男性身体强壮。他们更善于干粗重活。他们也能够从事家族事业，担任重要职位。但是，另外一些人却不同意这一观点。他们认为，女人和男人一样能干。有时候，很多事情女人也能比男人做得更好，因为她们更细心，更耐心，更有责任心。现在世界上已经有很多的女领导人和女科学家。因此，我们不应该看不起女人。相反，男人和女人应该有平等的权利和机会来学习和工作，这样她们才可以对我们国家做一些更大的贡献。就我而言，我同意后者。

At this time in the next kitten ran up suddenly. Saw the kitten picked up the mouse, all of a sudden the mice killed, and finally eat with relish.

AnEarthquakeis the result of a sudden release of energy in the Earths crust that creates seismic waves . Earthquakes are recorded with a seismometer , also known as a seismograph . The moment magnitude of an earthquake is conventionally reported, or the related and mostly obsolete Richter magnitude , with magnitude 3 or lower earthquakes being mostly imperceptible and magnitude 7 causing serious damage over large areas. Intensity of shaking is measured on the modified Mercalli scale.

At the Earths surface, earthquakes manifest themselves by a shaking and sometimes displacement of the ground. When a large earthquake epicenter is located offshore, the seabed sometimes suffers sufficient displacement to cause a tsunami . The shaking in earthquakes can also trigger landslides and occasionally volcanic activity.

In its most generic sense, the word earthquake is used to describe any seismic event—whether a natural phenomenon or an event caused by humans—that generates seismic waves. Earthquakes are caused mostly by rupture of geological faults , but also by volcanic activity, landslides, mine blasts, and nuclear experiments.

An earthquakes point of initial rupture is called its focus or hypocenter. The term epicenter means the point at ground level directly above this.
