What is friendship? It is to relate with somebody without need for money or objective. It is to need emotion and over wealth is friendship , no matter what their background , age , se-x or personality.

Friendship can be pure. We hear , nowdays, however, how one can be cheated by friends. Many people get along with someone because they have a lot of money. It is doultful that is real friendship.ZuoweN.www.oh100.com

Having friends, one can be find happiness. If you are in trouble your friends will help you through or at least comfort you. When you are happy , they share it with you. They are also there for you to chat with at any time.

It is a wonderful feeling, as the proverb says" to love each other is easy but to make frieds is hard", So, it is crutial that we should get along with our friends. In my opinon ,it is a shame to deceive your friends . The world would be more beautiful if it was full of filled with friendship

Our world is originally mountains, vast sea is blue, the vast sky is blue, the earth on which we live there are so many beautiful scenery, let us can not help but to admire the beauty of this world.

In this world there are ten million species of creatures, they get along, together in this live on the earth like a sapphire, tens of millions of years, too, will not change. But there is a kind of biological change the world, it is in this world with his proud technology to kill themselves, it is human. Human beings in this world only live for one million years, but it such as brute kills life on earth! In 2009, the Indian da-hong ruined homes of five million people in one hundred; In 2010, the Haitian earthquake left two hundred and thirty thousand people dead, according to estimates that by the year 2050, there will be two hundred and fifty million ecological refugees, we use our knowledge to kill themselves, as a human, I think its ironic.

The earth is in the vast universe, the only planet to harbor life, originally the earth is green hills and water, a piece is abundant, but todays earth after hurricanes, forest fires and drought in high temperature, is about to collapse, the earth began to shout for us, in the 2010 years, the earth has used its roar to kill two hundred and thirty-six thousand people, the earths voice we should hear, or the end of the world will come in advance.

Close to one end of the alarm, have "lungs of the earths forest gradually reduce, the earth began to collapse, there is only one earth, and this one belongs to you, rather than a human, the earth is our refuge, we should find a balance point and the earth coexistence, reduce the anger of the earth, let the human is no longer increase driver disaster, let us have a better living environment, but also for generations to leave some more living space.

我们的世界本来是青山绿水，汪洋的大海是湛蓝的，广阔的天空是蔚蓝的，我们居住的地球有太多美景，让我们不禁要赞叹这世界的美丽。

在这个世界上有千千万万种的生物，它们相处融洽，一起在这如蓝宝石般的地球上生存，过了几千万年也是一样，不会改变。但是有一种生物的出现改变了整个世界，它在这个世界用自己引以为傲的科技杀死自己，它就是人类。人类在这个世界上只生存了百万年，但是它却如猛兽般的杀死地球上的生物!在二零零九年时，印度百年大洪水毁了五百万人的家园;二零一零年，海地大地震让二十三万人死亡，根据估计，到了二零五零年，将会有二亿五千万名的生态难民，我们用我们的知识杀死自己，身为一个人类，我觉得很讽刺。

地球是在浩瀚宇宙之中，唯一能孕育生命的星球，本来的地球是青山绿水，一片盎然，但是现今的地球经过飓风、森林大火和高温干旱等严酷的考验，已经快要崩毁，地球开始对我们怒吼，在二零一零年时，地球已经用它的怒吼害死了二十三万六千人，地球的心声我们应该要听见，否则世界末日将提前来临。

末日的警钟一分一秒的接近，有“地球之肺”的森林逐渐的减少，地球开始崩毁，地球只有一个，而且这一个属于大家，而不是人类的，地球是我们的庇护所，我们应该找到一个和地球共存的平衡点，减少地球的怒气，让人类不再是加重灾难来临的推手，让我们有更好的生活环境，同时也替后代子孙多留一些生存空间。

As it is known to us all, there are 55 minority groups in China, each with its traditional customs, costumes and culture. Now let’s take a look at the Tibetan Minority.

The Tibetan Minority group live in Qinghai, Gansu, Sichuan and Yunnan Province. And the highest ridge in the world─beautiful and mysterious Tibet is their major habitat .

As the fertilized prairie stretches around the habitants as far as the eyes can see, most people live on animal husbandry, raising sheep, goats, cattle and growing a special kind of plant called Qingke. On account of the unique climate, people often wear warm and comfortable boots in winter, and they are always dressed in delicate robes which are made of the fur of sheep. Often they take off one sleeve of the clothes and tie it around their waists in order to work easily and use it as warm quilts at night.

Both men and women there like wearing silver ornaments, which look very mysterious and full of magical power. And they are good at singing and dancing, and the men there can have braids too. When they meet an important guest, they will present him or her a Hada, a piece of long white silk cloth to show their respect. And they will also treat the guest to a special kind of drink called Suyou Tea, which some people find hard to enjoy.

Besides, the habitants have developed both their own written and spoken languages, and the long poems they wrote play an important role in Chinese literature. And there are many well-protected culture relics as well, taking the grand Budala Palace as an example. It is a historical museum as well as an art treasury, where people can share their spirit belief in Buddhism and get artistic entertainment of the carved paintings and the beautifully-written chirographies.

The Tibetan ethnic group is also famous for its strange custom in funeral. Thinking that the soul belongs to the sky after a person dies, they usually put the body on a platform outdoors, spray on it and wait the condors to come to eat the body. In this way, they believe the soul goes up to the sky.

The Tibetan Minority is brimming over with deep emotions. The people there are very zealous and hospitable and they live freely and happily on the spacious grassland. Their history and culture contribute to the diversity of China, so we certainly should protect them and get them popularized and let them receive great respect they deserve.

In school,we have summer vacation.In summer,the weather is so hot that our

brain needs a rest after a period of hard work.Thus it is for health reasons

that we have our summer vacation.

There are many kinds of sports,which are good for health in summer,such as

swimming,tennis and baseball.But care should be taken not to practice such

sports all day long,which would be very bad for our health.

Another point we have to consider is that our time should not be spent

entirely in playing.We attend school in order to get some knowledge,which will

be useful in our life

I took a trip to Shanghai with my mother during the seven-day holiday. It

took us more than two hours to drive to Shanghai from my home in Haimen. We

stayed in a large hotel on the eighth floor. On the first day， I just stayed in

the hotel and rested. On the second day， my brother and I went to Nanjing Road.

It’s the busiest street in Shanghai. When we got there， there were lots of

people. We walked from one shop to another. I bought two T-shirts and two pairs

of trousers for the ing summer. The T-shirts and trousers I bought are all white

because white is my favourite colour. My brother also bought some clothes. On

the third day， my mother took me to Jinjiang Entertainment Centre. It was full

of people. I played many kinds of gamesthere. I had a good time. The other days，

I went to some other interesting places， such as the Oriental Bright Pearl TV

Tower， the Huangpu River and Shanghai International Conference Centre. I didn’t

forget to do my homework in the evening. I had a full and happy holiday.

Halloween is an observance celebrated on the night of October 31,most notably by children dressing in costumes and going door-to-door collecting candy.It is celebrated in much of the Western world,though most common in the United States,Most other Western countries have embraced Halloween as a part of American pop culture in the late 20th century.

So,although some cults may have adopted Halloween as their favorite "holiday," the day itself did not grow out of evil practices.It grew out of the rituals of Celts celebrating a new year,and out of Medieval prayer rituals of Europeans.And today,even many churches have Halloween parties or pumpkin carving events for the kids.After all,the day itself is only as evil as one cares to make it.

万圣节是纪念庆祝10月31日晚,尤其是在服饰打扮儿童和挨家挨户上门收集糖果.这是在庆祝西方世界很多,不过大多数在美国,大多数其他西方国家接受,作为美国流行文化在20世纪后期的一部分万圣节.

因此,尽管有些邪教可能采用为他们最喜爱的“节日万圣节,”这一天本身却没有增加邪恶的作法.它的前身是在庆祝新年凯尔特人仪式,并指出欧洲中世纪的祈祷仪式.今天,甚至很多教会万圣节南瓜雕刻政党或为孩子们的活动.毕竟,这一天本身是邪恶的,只是作为一个关心使然.

We are living in a globalized world and the cross—cultural communications are increasing nowadays. In other words，we have never been so closely connected with each other in the human histories. As a philosopher has pointed out，nobody is an isolated island. If we want to have a bright future，we need more cooperation for the development. Therefore，team spirit is very important. It is an bility that people can understand each other and cooperate with each other for the successful completion of some important tasks. We need such kind of ability in particular during the globalization for several reasons.

我们生活在全球化的世界中，跨文化交流越来越常见。换句话说，在人类历史中，我们还没有如此紧密地链接在一起。就如一位哲学家所说的，没有人与外界孤立。如果我们想拥有广阔的未来，我们需要合作。所以，团队的精神非常重要。为了重大目标的完成，我们需要互相协作。在全球化的背景下，我们需要某种特殊的能力。

First of all，team spirit offers us a platform where we can operate our collective talent to work out thebest. Only when we work effectively together can we have the best chance to get the success. Taking the 2008 Beijing Olympics for example，I think the success of the event first goes to the superb team spirit of the organizers and millions of volunteers. So many people work hard and cooperate well for the single aim and the solitary goal：an exceptional Olympics for the whole world. A lot of student volunteers in Beijing are committed and work tirelessly during the hot summer. History has witnessed their brilliant teamwork and valuable contributions. What is more,team spirit is quite useful for personal career.

首先，团队精神提供了我们一个平台，这个平台能够集聚所有人的力量。只有我们努力协作，我们才有可能成功。就拿2008年北京奥运会为例，我认为事件的成功来源于上百万志愿者的协作和团队精神。所以，许多人为了单一目标而协作努力：为全世界奉献了精彩的奥运会。在炎热的夏天，许多志愿者努力工作。历史见证了他们的团队合作，以及卓越贡献。更重要的是，团队精神对于个人的发展也是有意义的。

As young students，we must learn the core and sharpen our skills in the team. If you work in a company，most of the time you have to finish or design a huge project with your colleagues. Each person can contribute their wisdom to the completion of the task. You cannot do it so well single—handedly. When we watchthe Olympic Games on TV， we are so amazed by the excellent performances of the players. If they want to win the gold medals，they must compete as one person and exercise their own part well for the whole success. So we can say the team spirit is the secret of success.

作为一名年轻学生，我们必须学会在团队中锻炼自己的能力。如果你在一家公司工作，那么绝大部分的时间你都必须与其他同事完成重要的设计任务。每个人都为这一目标献出了自己的智慧。你不可能单枪匹马。当我在电视机前观看奥运会比赛时，我们对运动员的出色表现而惊叹不已。如果他们想夺取金牌，为了目标，他们必须通力合作。所以，团队精神是成功的秘诀。

Finally,team spirit is the symbol of national power and strength. As we all know, the Chinese delegationhas won the most medals during the 2008 Olympics and all Chinese people are so proud of our country. Another example is the touching power of the team spirit in the Sichuan earthquake. We were moved by the perseverance and persistence of the rescue workers，who were eager to help their compatriots.

最后，团队精神是国家富强和力量的象征。众所周知，中国代表团在2008年奥运会上奖牌总数第一，中国人无不为此而骄傲。另一个体现团队精神的例子是四川地震。我们被救援人员的坚韧和顽强品质所感染，他们不惜生命的代价抢救伤员。

In conclusion，team spirit is an important ability and skill in the 21th century because we are all facedwith the globalization and the question of how to live better. Therefore，we must learn to work well in the team and let the team spirit guide us to success.

总结，团队精神是21世纪最重要的能力和技能，因为我们都处在全球化的大背景之下，我们的问题时如何生活得更好。所以，我们必须通力协作，只有团队精神才能让我们取得成功。

People travel by plane, by train, by ship, by bus. To me, the best way of

traveling on a summer vacation is to go on foot.

My preference depends on the purpose of the travel. On a summer vacation I

travel to refresh myself and to see the countryside. When I use my feet and walk

on a grass covered path along a river or among the hills I feel detached from

the noise of the city and closer to the nature. And when I travel on foot I get

more freedom. I can plan my own schedule. I can choose my own route. I can stop

where I like. And I can see things and people that I might miss if I travel on a

train or on a bus. net

When faster and more convenient ways for travel are becoming available, I

still favor using my own feet. I get much pleasure from it. People travel by

plane, by train, by ship, by bus. To me, the best way of traveling on a summer

vacation is to go on foot.

My winter vacation

During the winter vacation, nothing is different for my life. I wake up 11 oclock Am everyday, after a washing, I have a good lunch with my parents. Next I play computer games till the time to have supper. After have dinner. I go on playing till 2 oclock Am, and then go to sleep with tired. This is one dull day of my winter vacation.

But I havent bored all the time. Sometimes I read the books, sometime I listen to the music or the radio in the bed, because it was very cold outside and snowy all the day. And I also meat some of my good friends during the vacation, we have a very long talk about the life of each other in the past year and play table tennis tegether. And I watched the spring festival party of the CCTV in the last seconds of the 2004 year! I think this is the thing most people of china doing at that time.

Thats all, all my dull, coldly and snowy winter vacation

Do you know Harry Potter? If you dont, then you are out of date. Many

people love Harry Potter, whether children or adults. I love Harry Potter, too.

Last week, I went to Nantong to see the movie "Harry Potter and the Goblet of

Fire".It was a wonderful movie. In the movie, Harry is the same age as us and he

is more handsome than me. Harrys best friends are Hermione and Ron. The movie

tells the story of Harrys Fourth Year at Hogwarts. The Goblet of Five selects

him to compete as one of four champions in the Throwizard Tournament, despite

the fact that he didnt submit his name. The Tournament is very dangerous so his

friends are all worried about him. Hermione and Ron try their best to help Harry

to prepare for each task. I think their friendship is unbreakable. Cho Chang,

who Harry likes, is a Chinese pretty girl. I liked her but I liked Hermione

better because she is very clever.Its very magical! I love magic as much as

Harry does. If I lived in a magic world, I could pick up gigantic things easily,

I could go to wherever I liked and I could fly on a broom, I could change my

hairstyle of any time, I could.Its a perfect world and its a perfect

dream.

请根据以下的提示，并结合自己的交友经历，表达你对朋友的理解。

Without friends, life is not worth living. But what kind of person can be accepted as friend? Lots of people are classmates and arent friends. Lots of people are lovers but arent friends. You can appreciate or admire someone, but that doesnt make them a friend. If their attitude is "for better or worse," if they stick with you through thick and thin, thats when you can tell its friendship. 注意：1、120字数左右。

2、不要过多引用上述提示。

【参考范文】

The term, friend, covers a wide range of meanings. It can be a nodding acquaintance, a comrade, a partner, a playmate, a brother, etc. As life is full of obstacles and conflicts, we need friends to give us supports to get through tough times, we also need friends to give us warnings to go against danger. True friends share not only joy but, more often than not, they share sorrow and difficulties.

With friendship, life is happy and harmonious. Without friendship, life is hostile and unfortunate. I have friends in the rank and file. Some are rich and in power. Some are low and common. Some are like myself, working as an ordinary teacher, reading and writing and content with the simple life. To many of my friends, I know what to treasure, what to tolerate and what to share, I will never forget my old friends and keep making new friends. I will not be cold and indifferent to the poor friends and will show concern for them, even if it is only a comforting word.

一提到友谊，你第一会想起谁?那个你第一反应想起的人，定是你映象最为深刻的人，想起不同关系的人，也可以看出你的性格。友谊对我们来说，就像是人生道路上的指明灯，一谈起友谊，我们都会开始议论起谁，想想我们这些年，到底是谁陪我们走过来的，你可有好好珍惜过这样一份珍贵无价的珍宝?

我们每个人都有过几段不好的经历，同时，上帝也很公平，在给我们这些不好的经历时，上帝总会心善，给我们创造了一些好朋友，自此，在这样艰难的历程中，我们逐渐学会了友谊。也就是这样，让我们懂得珍惜一些难得而宝贵的东西，那就是友谊。

虽然友谊如此美妙，但在我们收获到这样珍贵的友谊时，你有没有珍惜过，一个你措手不及，无意间丢掉的宝贝，可能会在你遗失的地方擦肩而过，永远都失去了，亦或者，在你遗失的地方，你发现它落在了哪里，最后重返回去，将它拾起来。友谊也是非常容易破碎的，我们要好好珍惜。

有些人，得到了那样东西就不会懂得珍惜，等失去了就后悔莫及，这样的事，我们一知道，难免觉得很可笑，可是反思回来，我们自己是不是也有一些没有把握住的友谊，或者自己亲手毁掉的友谊呢?人们说，破镜不能重圆。镜子一旦碎了，再重新粘起来，也会有裂痕，哪怕没有裂痕了，也不是以前的镜子了。

所以，这让我们知道，友谊是一样很宝贵的珍品，他说是无价之宝，在很多时候，也许是生活中、学习中、工作上，我们总会遇上一份友谊，这会是我们在那个历程中收获最宝贵的一样东西。你要相信上帝是公平的，他总会怜悯你，不会看着你孤独，总会有那么一个人出现在你的世界里，给予你一份温暖。那便是得来的友谊，请珍惜!

from the golden-tipped fields of mid-west america to the ancient kingdoms of verdant palestine, there is a happy truth to be shared with all who would take heed. in more recent times, this truth has been expressed as: april showers bring may flowers. this is a truth that promises light bursting from darkness, strength born from weakness and, if one dares to believe, life emerging from death.

从美国中西部金色的田野，到巴勒斯坦嫩绿色的古老疆土，那些留心观察的人共享着同一个快乐真理。近来这一真理被阐述为：四月的雨带来五月的花。这一真理预示光明会从黑暗中迸发;刚强生自软弱;如果你敢确信，生命会从死亡中萌发!

farmers all over the world know the importance and immutability of the seasons. they know that there is a season to plant and a season to harvest; everything must be done in its own time. although the rain pours down with the utmost relentlessness, ceasing all outdoor activities, the man of the field lifts his face to the heavens and smiles. despite the inconvenience, he knows that the rain provides the nourishment his crops need to grow and flourish. the torrential rains in the month of april, give rise to the glorious flowers in the month of may.

全世界的农民们都明白季节的重要性和永恒性。他们知道在哪个季节播种，哪个季节收获，每件事都必须应时而做!虽然暴雨无情地倾盆而下，迫使所有的户外劳作停止，但土地的主人会仰天微笑。尽管有诸多不便，但是他知道，雨会为他的庄稼带来繁茂生长所需的营养。四月里的豪雨，会带来五月里的繁花似锦。

but this ancient truth applies to more than the crops of the fields; it is an invaluable message of hope to all who experience tragedy in life. a dashed relationship with one can open up the door to a brand new friendship with another. a lost job here can provide the opportunity for a better job there. a broken dream can become the foundation of a wonderful future. everything has its place.

但是这一古老真理并不只适用于田里的庄稼，它还是那些正经历着人生磨难的人的无限希冀：一段友谊的受挫会开启另一段崭新友谊的大门;此处失去的工作会提供彼处更好的工作机会;一个梦想的破灭会成为美好未来的基石。万物皆有道!

remember this: overwhelming darkness may endure for a night, but it will never overcome the radiant light of the morning. when you are in a season of sorrow, hang in there, because a season of joy may be just around the corner…

请谨记：势不可挡的黑暗或有一晚，但它永远无法阻挡清晨的万丈光芒!当你正处于悲伤之季，请坚持住，因为欢乐的季节也许马上就会到来……

Christmas is the most important festival in the western world. It falls on

December 25th. When my mother and I stayed in America, we were invited by one of

my mothers friends to have Christmas with an American family. We bought some

presents for our American friends on our way to their house.They had prepared

different kinds of gifts for their family and guests when we got to their house,

such as Christmas candles, cakes, cards, little toys, biscuits and so on. A

Christmas tree was placed in the comer of the brilliant hall. How beautiful it

was! We were impressed by these. We had a big meal. After dinner, they told us

some interesting stories about Christmas. We learned that Christmas had

something to do with God. We went to bed at midnight. Though we knew the Santa

Claus was not true, we were still waiting for the Santa Claus with white beard

to bring us presents.And we received many beautiful presents the next

morning.This Christmas was really unforgettable. Not only did I have a good

time, but also I knew something about foreign culture.

It seems like a silly question, anyone in sane would give a hand to the elderly who fell. But in China, this question is becoming tricky. Many news report that there are some old people not just fell, they do it on purpose. Usually, they walk on a crowdy street, and pretend to faint or just lay down on the ground, intend to accuse the one who comes to help as a perpetrator and blackmail him/her for the treatment fee. Many people have fell for that and had to pay as there is no witness to prove their innocence. As for these negative news, people is afraid to help those old people in need, that makes some of them who are in real trouble could not get help in time. I once asked one of my friends: “Why the old people turn bad? If you see one in the street, would you help?” He said: “It is not the old people turn bad, it is the bad people turn old. I will video him/her to make a statement first, then decide if I would help.”

这似乎是个愚蠢的问题,任何清醒的人遇到跌倒的老人都会伸出援助之手。但在中国，这个问题变得棘手。很多新闻报道说有些老人不只是跌倒而已，他们是故意这么做的。通常他们会走到人潮涌动的街头，假装晕倒或者是直接躺在地上，想要指控那些来帮助他的人为肇事者，敲诈他们要治疗费。很多人都上当了，由于没有目击者证明他们的清白，他们被迫支付了费用。正因为这些负面新闻，人们害怕去帮助那些需要帮助的老人，也因此造成了那些真正有困难的老人没有得到及时的帮助。我曾经问我一个朋友：“为什么现在的老人变坏了?如果你在街上看到这样的老人你会帮助吗?”他说：“不是老人变坏了，是坏人变老了。我会先录像让他做一个声明，再决定是否帮助他。”

the family had just moved to rhode island, and the young woman was feeling a little melancholy on that sunday in may. after all, it was mothers day -- and 800 miles separated her from her parents in ohio.

一家人刚移居罗德岛。5月的那个星期天， 年轻女人感到有点儿忧伤。毕竟， 这一天是母亲节─而她却与俄亥俄州的父母亲遥距800英里。

she had called her mother that morning to wish her a happy mothers day, and her mother had mentioned how colorful the yard was now that spring had arrived. as they talked, the younger woman could almost smell the tantalizing aroma of purple lilacs hanging on the big bush outside her parentsback door.

她那天早上给母亲打去电话， 祝母亲节日愉快。随后， 她的母亲向她提起， 因为春天已经来临， 所以院子里的色彩是多么绚丽。在她们通话的当儿， 年轻女人几乎可以闻到悬垂在父母亲后门外大灌木丛上的紫丁香醉人的芬芳。

later, when she mentioned to her husband how she missed those lilacs, he popped up from his chair. i know where we can find you all you want, he said. get the kids and cmon.

so off they went, driving the country roads of northern rhode island on the kind of day only mid-may can produce：sparkling sunshine, unclouded azure skies and vibrant newness of the green growing all around. they went past small villages and burgeoning housing developments, past abandoned apple orchards, back to where trees and brush have devoured old homesteads.

后来， 她向丈夫说起她是如何怀念那些紫丁香时， 他突然从椅子上跃起。我知道在哪儿能找到你想要的东西， 他说， 带上孩子， 走吧。

于是， 他们就出发了， 驱车行驶在罗德岛北部的乡村小路上， 那种天气只有5月中旬才会有：闪亮的阳光、蔚蓝色的晴空以及生机勃勃、随处可见的绿意。他们穿过一座座小村庄和一座座拔地而起的房屋， 穿过废弃的苹果园， 来到了树林和嗄敬匝谟车睦吓

where they stopped, dense thickets of cedars and ju nipers and birch crowded the roadway on both sides. there wasnt a lilac bush in sight.

come with me , the man said. over that hill is an old cellar hole, from somebodys farm of years ago, and there are lilacs all round it. the man who owns this land said i could poke around here anytime. im sure he wont mind if we pick a few lilacs.

他们停下车。车道两边长满了茂盛的雪松、杜松和白桦树。眼前没有一棵紫丁香。

随我来， 那个男人说， 翻过那座小山， 有个老地窖， 几年前是一个人的农场， 四周长满了紫丁香。这块地的主人说我可以随时到这儿来闲逛。我相信， 要是我们采几束紫丁香， 他不会介意。

before they got halfway up the hill, the fragrance of the lilacs drifted down to them, and the kids started running. soon, the mother began running, too, until she reached the top. there, far from view of passing motorists and hidden from encroaching civilization, were the towering lilacs bushes, so laden with the huge, cone-shaped flower clusters that they almost bent double. with a smile, the young woman rushed up to the nearest bush and buried her face in the flowers, drinking in the fragrance and the memories it recalled.

还没等他们到达半山腰， 紫丁香的芬芳已经向他们飘了过来。于是， 孩子们开始奔跑。不久， 那位母亲也开始跑起来， 直至到达山顶。

那里， 远离了过往司机的视野， 避开了纷扰的文明世界， 高耸的丁香花丛开满了硕大的圆锥形的串串花束， 几乎把花茎压成了两折。那个年轻女人微笑着冲到最近的一处花丛， 把脸埋在鲜花中， 啜饮着芳香， 陶醉在重新唤起的记忆中。

while the man examined the cellar hole and tried to explain to the children what the house must have looked like, the woman drifted among the lilacs. carefully, she chose a sprig here, another one there, and clipped them with her husbands pocket knife. she was in no hurry, relishing each blossom as a rare and delicate treasure. finally, though, they returned to their car for the trip home. while the kids chattered and the man drove, the woman sat smiling, surrounded by her flowers, a faraway look in her eyes.

在那个男人察看地窖试图向孩子们解释这座房子必定是什么样子的当儿， 那个女人不由自主地走进了紫丁香花丛。她小心翼翼地从这儿摘一枝， 那儿挑一束， 然后用丈夫的袖珍小刀将它们剪下来。她不慌不忙， 像欣赏稀有珍宝似地欣赏着每一朵花。

然而， 他们终于还是返回了汽车， 走上了回家的路。孩子们叽叽喳喳说个不停， 那个男人驾着车， 那个女人坐在那儿面带微笑， 她周围放满了鲜花， 眼睛里充满着向往。

when they were within three miles of home, she suddenly shouted to her husband, stop the car. stop right here! the man slammed on the brakes. before he could ask her why she wanted to stop, the woman was out of the car and hurrying up a nearby grassy slope with the lilacs still in her arms. at the top of the hill was a nursing home and, because it was such a beautiful spring day, the patients were outdoors strolling with relatives or sitting on the porch.

当他们离家不足3英里时， 她突然向丈夫大声喊道：停车， 就在这里停车!

那个男人嘎地刹住车。还没等他问为什么， 女人就已经下了车， 匆匆走向附近的草坡， 怀里仍抱着紫丁香。山顶上是一家疗养院， 因为这是一个美丽的春日， 所以病人正在室外和亲友溜达或坐在门廊上。

the young woman went to the end of the porch, where an elderly patient was sitting in her wheelchair, alone, head bowed, her back to most of the others. across the porch railing went the flowers, in to the lap of the old woman. she lifted her head, and smiled. for a few moments, the two women chatted, both aglow with happiness, and then the young woman turned and ran back to her family. as the car pulled away, the woman in the wheelchair waved, and clutched the lilacs.

那个年轻女人走到门廊的尽头， 只见那里有一个上了年纪的病人正坐在轮椅里， 独自一人， 低着头， 背对着其他人。年轻女人越过门廊栏杆， 将鲜花放在了老太太的膝间。老太太抬起头， 露出了笑脸。两个女人聊了一会儿， 都兴高采烈。随后， 那个年轻女人转身跑回到家人的身边。当汽车开动时， 坐在轮椅里的那个女人挥动着手， 手里紧紧地握着那束紫丁香花。

mom, the kids asked, who was that?why did you give her our flowers?is she somebodys mother?the mother said she didnt know the old woman. but it was mothers day, and she seemed so alone, and who wouldnt be cheered by flowers?besides, she added, i have all of you, and i still have my mother, even if she is far away. that woman needed those flowers more than i did.

this satisfied the kids, but not the husband. the next day he purchased half a dozen young lilacs bushes and planted them around their yard, and several times since then he has added more.

妈妈， 孩子们问， 那人是谁呀?你为什么把我们的花送给她?她是谁的母亲呀?他们的母亲说， 她不认识那个老太太， 但今天是母亲节， 她看起来是那么孤独， 而鲜花会给任何人带来好心情。再说， 她补充道， 我拥有你们， 而且我还有自己的母亲， 即使她离我很远。那个女人比我更需要那些鲜花。

孩子们得到了满意的答案， 但她的丈夫却没有。第二天， 他买了半打紫丁香幼苗， 栽到了院子四周;而且从那以后， 每隔一段时间， 他就会增加一些。

i was that man. the young mother was, and is, my wife. now, every may, our own yard is redolent with lilacs. every mothers day our kids gather purple bouquets. and every year i remember that smile on a lonely old womans face, and the kindness that put the smile there.

我就是那个男人， 那个年轻母亲是我妻子。如今， 每年5月， 我们自家的院子都会散发出浓烈的紫丁香的芬芳。每逢母亲节， 我们的孩子都要采撷紫丁香花束。而且每年我都会记起一位孤独的老太太脸上露出的笑容， 以及笑容里呈现出的那种慈祥。

Since I was very small, I watched a lot of sports with my father. My father

is a huge fan of basketball match. When he has time, he will sit in the sofa and

watch NBA. So I enjoy the time to watch the match with him. I also become a

sport fan, but my passion on sports is much stronger. I am interested in

watching all kinds of sports, besides basketball, tennis, volleyball and other

sports are favored by me. Though I am a girl, I play many sports in the school.

My classmates admire me. I feel so proud of myself of being different. Whats

more, doing sports makes me happy. I feel the energy when I am running in the

playground. I also learn to be patient and persistent, which helps me a lot in

my study.

everyone needs friendship. no one can sail the ocean of life single handed.

we need help from, and also give help to, others. in the modern age, people attach more importance to relations and connections. a man of charisma has many friends. his power lies in his ability to give.

the term, friend, covers a wide range of raeanings. it can be a nodding acquaintance, a comrade, a confident, a partner, a playmate, a brother, an intimate etc.

as life is full of strife and conflict, we need friends to support and help as out of difficulties. our frinods give us warnings against danger. true friends share not only joy but, more often than not, they share sorrow.

with friendship, life is happy and harmonious. without friendship, life is hostile and unfortunate. i have friends in the rank and file. some are rich and in power. some are low and common. some are like myself, working as a teacher, reading and writing and content with the simple life we have. to many of my friends, i know what to treasure, what to tolerate and what to share, i will never forget my old friends and keep making new friends. i will not he cold and indifferent to the poor friends and will show concern for them, even if it is only a comforting word.

人人都需要友谊，没有人能独自在人生的海洋中航行。我们给人帮助也需要别人的帮助。在现代，人们更重视关系和联系。一个有领袖气质的人有许多朋友，他的权力在于他的给予能力。

朋友的意义很广，可以是熟人、同志、知已、伙伴、玩伴、兄弟、密友等。

生活充满矛盾和斗争，我们需要朋友的支持，以帮助我们摆脱困境。朋友提醒我们警惕险难。真正的朋友不仅与我们同甘，而且共苦。

友谊使生活幸福，和谐，没有友谊的生活充满敌意和不幸。我有地位高的朋友，也有地位低的朋友，有的有钱有权，有的位卑而平凡。有的和我一样教书，读写，满足于简朴的生活。对我的众多朋友，我知道该珍惜什么，容忍什么，分享什么。我不会忘记老朋友，同时继续交新朋友。对穷朋友不冷漠，关心他们，哪怕只是一句安慰的话。

During the winter holiday, I was very happy because of the Chinese new year

and other reasons. During the holiday, my parents and I went back to my hometown

in the countryside in Hebei Province. I had not come back for several years, so

that I was so surprised to find that great changes had taken place in this small

village in the past years. Almost every family in the village had color TV set

and some of them had computers. Many families had their houses newly built or

rebuilt. Previously,could be seen everywhere, but now they have taken on an

entirely newlook. Motorcycles or even private cars are not luxuries any

more.

One of the villagers proudly told me that he and some other villagers were

going to join a tour and travel abroad. Previously, the villagers were busy in

their farm work all the year round, but now they have much more time and money

to relax or entertain. Traveling has become a new trend among villagers. Seeing

these amazing changes, my father said that he would go back to my hometown as

soon as he retired. As for me, I strongly supported his idea.
