A friend is you sad when a beam of sunlight; A friend is when you meet with difficulties mentor; A friend is a person to share the happiness with you.

He turned the students is 2 grade. At that time, he is not familiar with the unfamiliar environment, I often take the initiative to find chat, so we become good friends. When I argue with others, he would support me; When Im depressed, he would come and share the; When I am happy, he will rejoice with me. Remember, in the four grade school chorus competition, must attend every class. From now on, always can see us in our class on the playground sweat; In class, always hear the singing of our class. Time flies, blink of an eye the game is coming. In front of the class, a than a wonderful. Although our strength, but the result of the game makes us very disappointed. The classmates cry, I cry very sad. At this time, he came over and gently patted me on the back: "dont cry, failure is the mother of success, not today, and the next time?" Listen to his heart, I feel much better. Time was not long before, my best friend turned away to school, it is definitely icing on the cake for me. I cry. He said: "Zhao Zhenhang you dont cry, not to say that a true friend. What has"? "Sea memory know, tianya zorpia, stupid" I then his words. "I am a fool, I am a fool." He smiled jokingly.

Until now I can think of his silly dull look. He is - liu, my best friend!

朋友是你伤心时的一束阳光;朋友是你遇到困难时的导师;朋友是和你一起分享快乐的人。

他是2年级时转过来的学生。当时的他，并不熟悉这陌生的环境，我经常主动找聊天，于是，我们成为好朋友。在我和别人争论时，他会支持我;当我情绪低落时，他会过来一起分担;当我高兴时，他会和我一起欢呼雀跃。记得在4年级时，学校组织合唱比赛，每个班必须参加。从今往后——在操场上总会看见我们我们班的汗水;在班内，总会听见我们班的歌声。光阴似箭，眨眼间比赛就来临了。前面的班，一个比一个精彩。虽然我们的实力惊人，但是比赛的结果令我们十分失望。同学们哭了，而我哭的格外伤心。这时，他走过来轻轻地拍了拍我的背：“别哭了失败是成功的妈妈，今日不行，还有下次呢。”听了他的话心里，我感觉好多了。时间没过多久，我最好的朋友转外地就学，这对我来说无疑是雪上加霜。我痛哭不已。他说：“赵振航你别哭了，不是说海内存知己。己什么来着”?“海内存知彼，天涯若比邻，笨蛋”我接着他的话。“我是笨蛋，我是笨蛋。”他戏谑地笑着。

到如今我都能想起他那傻呆呆的样子。他就是—刘畅，我最好的朋友!

The ancients cloud: "reading to learn." Reading another benefit, is the people to cultivate noble moral character, know the book of rites.

The bacon once said: "books are in the waves of sailing ship to the thought of The Times, it takes careful gave precious goods to generation after generation."

Whether Chinese or foreign, have been a lot of celebrities, and the story of these celebrities, their diligence, hard work, also are weaved.

古人云：“读书学礼。”读书的另一个好处呢，就是为了培养人们品德高尚，知书达礼。

英国培根曾说：“书籍是在时代的波涛中航行的思想之船，它以小心翼翼把珍贵的货物送给一代又一代。”古代名人们的优良传统思想，如敬老爱幼、珍惜时间、不耻下问等，都被后人记载在书中，自然，读了它，领悟其中的道理，能应用，就将成为一个道德高尚的人。

不管是中国还是外国，都出过不少名人，而这些名人的故事，他们的勤奋、刻苦，也都编成了是。

朋友多么真诚的一个名字，因为有了朋友让你懂得了友谊的珍贵，因为有了朋友让你懂得了人生的万物，因为有个朋友让你懂得了生命的多姿多彩，在每一个人的人生中总有一些朋友，来看看我与朋友一起走过的多彩日子。

在一个烈日炎炎的夏天，我们全班所有人都在谈论者，忙碌着给几天后运动做一个充足的准备，同时我也是，都想着拿第一名。终于让我们展示的机会来了，我们全班都在大喊着“加油”，而然我们听到了朋友对我们的期待时，我们顿时“满血复活”不能让他们失望。这是我与朋友在夏天一起走过的日子在一个寒风刺骨的冬天，我们都为期末考试认真复习着，为了在全年级拿第一，为了不辜负家人的期望拿第一，为了让我们的知识更上一层楼拿第一名，有一句话说的是：团结就是力量，为了我们的荣誉和智慧我们要勇往直前，我们之所以能这样奋斗，是朋友给我们的力量。这是我和朋友在冬天走过的日子。在我们这样一个团结有爱的班级里永远都存在友谊，我们之所以团结是为了朋友，朋友是珍贵的，朋友是重情重义的，朋友让你正确的规划目标。

在我快要放弃是，朋友给我最大的鼓舞和支持。在我快要流泪时，朋友让我擦干，向前奔跑。在我无助是，是朋友给我了帮助。在我看来什么都没有，你和朋友一起的日子温暖、幸福（除了家人以外）。

TINY ghost—like dolls hang from trees， big plastic spiders sit on rooftops and bloody plastic hands reach out from gravestones…Are you ready for the scariest night of the year？

October 31 is Halloween， one of the most popular festivals in the US， Canada and Britain。 The festival began as a day to remember the dead。 But nowadays its all about the carnival atmosphere when people can enjoy dressing up and scaring each other。

Halloween is one of childrens favourite nights of the year。 They dress up as monsters and go to their neighbourshouses。 Knocking on the door they shout： "Trick or treat！" Of course， usually people give them "treats" － a like sweets and chocolates。 But， if you dont， you can expect a prank such as having your car windows soaped or your garbage cans turned over。

Halloween is also a time for masquerade parties。 Witches fly in on broomsticks， while ghosts and skeletons chat on the dance floor。

You can even dress up as a famous monster like Dracula！ The motto is： "The scarier， the better。" 。”

Even making Halloween food should be like casting a spell or mixing a magic drink。 In Britain， people drink "Witchs Mix"， made with apple， orange， grape and berry juice。 Children also enjoy "Halloween Worms，" made from egg noodles。 And how do you like the sound of "Eye—Balls"？ Dont worry， theyre made with scoops of chocolate and vanilla ice cream， shaped like human eyes。 Skeleton—shaped cookies are equally popular。

A well—known Halloween tradition is to make lanterns from pumpkins， called "Jack—o—lanterns"。 First， the inside of the pumpkin is removed。 Then， a face is cut into the pumpkin， traditionally a smiling， devil face。 Finally a candle is placed inside， and the lantern is put at the front of the house to keep evil spirits away。

Besides pumpkin cutting， "apple—bobbing" is another popular game。 Several apples are put floating in water in a big bucket。 Children have their hands tied behind their backs。 They have to try to pick the apples out of the water using only their mouths。 Of course， people get very wet and it is very funny to watch。

[美国万圣节英语作文

我是个小书虫，每到假日的时候，就是我最快乐的时光，因为爸爸妈妈都会带我到中央图书馆消磨一整个下午。

我经常到二楼寻找一本本好书，徜徉在浩瀚无垠的书香世界。图书馆内安静到连一根针掉到地板的声音都听得一清二楚，我也细细品尝那心灵的食宴，淡淡的书香流进心扉，丰富了我的心灵，这时，是多么的快乐啊！

我总是沉浸在书香世界中，翻阅各式各样的书籍。一本科幻小说，带领着我天马行空的想像；一个历史故事，让我回到过去，吸取前人的经验；一则童话故事，引导我走入旖旎的奇幻世界；一本侦探小说，教育我仔细搜查各个蛛丝马迹，成功破案；一本伟人传记，让我体验到他们不屈不挠的精神。

而最脍炙人口的神鬼传奇则是我的最爱。有时在风雨交加的夜晚，滂沱的大雨淅沥哗啦的落在海面上，狂风掀起惊涛骇浪，澎湃汹涌的海浪声以及鬼哭神号的尖叫声，令人胆颤心惊，吓得屁滚尿流。而有时走入了神祕的村庄，空洞洞的房子一片漆黑，只看到随风飘扬的布幔，一个人影也见不着，在不远的小山丘上，还会传来阵阵小朋友玩耍的嬉闹声，杂草被拨乱的痕迹，令人心神不宁，慑人心魄。图书馆真是举世无双的宝库啊！

书传达了人间的喜、怒、哀、乐，描绘出天地间如诗如画的美景。除了能够增广见闻，开阔视野之外，更能够给人更深刻的省思与启发。因此，图书馆一直是我休闲的最佳去处，希望大家也能多到图书馆走走看看，自然就能够深切体认到图书馆的好，让图书馆也成为您的好朋友吧！

我叫妙君，是个女孩子，今年十三岁，十二生肖当中我是排行老大！我的身高有145米，我有对很深的双眼皮，一对又亮又黑的眼珠，转到眶中的任何部分都显得灵动俏媚。我的名字很特别，大约是家里人想让我长大后成为巾帼不让须眉吧！可是我离梦想还很遥远，当然还少不了些缺点。

我小时候老爱生病，爸爸妈妈经常三更半夜地抱着我往医院跑，不知花了多少心血。一病三娇，爸爸妈妈老怕我生病，所以什么事都宠着我，天长日久，我渐渐地养成了爱发脾气的坏习惯，稍一不称心，就对爸爸妈妈发脾气。记得有一次，已经九点钟了，我做完作业，正想看电视，妈妈却不让，把电视关了。我才不理地那一套呢，又把电视打开。就这样，妈妈关，我开，来来回回好几次。妈妈终于发火了，大声说：“你真不听话，给我滚出去！”我听了，瞪了妈妈一眼，推开门就走了，最后还是妈妈把拖回来。你们瞧，那时候，我的脾气是什么样啊！那天，老师在讲评练习册，我们大家都积极的举手发言，我的手举得特高，但老师还是叫别人回答，我垂头丧气地放下了手，趴在桌子上，很不高兴。我不知怎么坏脾气又来了。相信我，我会渐渐地把我的缺点改掉，做一个文静。懂事的乖乖女，你还愿意和我交朋友吗？

现在我的学习一般，那你呢？如果你遇到什么困难或挫折，一定要告诉我会帮你解开困难。

我非常地希望和你交个朋友，好吗？我一定会加倍努力，刻苦学习，我们一起加油，为我们的目标努力奋斗！加油！

祝：

学习进步！

The United States of America, also known as the United States, the U.S., the U.S.A., and America, is a country in North America that shares land borders with Canada and Mexico, and a sea border with Russia. Extending from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean, the United States is a federal republic, with its capital in Washington, D.C.

The present-day continental United States has been inhabited for at least 15,000 years by indigenous tribes.[1] After European exploration and settlement in the 16th century, the English established their own colonies—and gained control of others that had been begun by other European nations—in the eastern portion of the continent in the 17th and early 18th centuries. On 4 July 1776, at war with Britain over fair governance, thirteen of these colonies declared their independence. In 1783, the war ended in British acceptance of the new nation. Since then, the country has more than quadrupled in size: it now consists of 50 states and one federal district; it also has numerous overseas territories.

At over 3.7 million square miles (over 9.5 million km²), the U.S. is the third or fourth largest country by total area, depending on whether the disputed areas of China are included. It is the worlds third most populous nation, with nearly 300 million people.

The United States has maintained a liberal democratic political system since it adopted its Articles of Confederation on 1 March 1781 and the Constitution, the Articles replacement, on 17 September 1787. American military, economic, cultural, and political influence increased throughout the 20th century; with the collapse of the Soviet Union at the end of the Cold War, the nation emerged as the worlds sole remaining superpower.[2] Today, it plays a major role in world affairs.

The earliest known use of the name America is from 1507, when a globe and a large map created by the German cartographer Martin Waldseemüller in Saint-Die-des-Vosges described the combined continents of North and South America. Although the origin of the name is uncertain[3], the most widely held belief is that expressed in an accompanying book, Cosmographiae Introductio, which explains it as a feminized version of the Latin name of Italian explorer Amerigo Vespucci (Americus Vespucius); in Latin, the other continents names were all feminine. Vespucci theorized, correctly, that Christopher Columbus, on reaching islands in the Caribbean Sea in 1492, had come not to India but to a "New World".

The Americas were also known as Columbia, after Columbus, prompting the name District of Columbia for the land set aside as the U.S. capital. Columbia remained a popular name for the United States until the early 20th century, when it fell into relative disuse; but it is still used poetically and appears in various names and titles. A female personification of the country is also called Columbia; she is similar to Britannia.[4][5][6][7] Columbus Day, a holiday in the U.S. and other countries in the Americas commemorating Columbus October 1492 landing.

The term "united States of America" was first used officially in the Declaration of Independence, adopted on 4 July 1776. On 15 November 1777, the Second Continental Congreadopted the Articles of Confederation, the first of which stated "The Stile of this Confederacy shall be The United States of America."

The adjectival and demonymic forms for the United States are American, a point of controversy among some.

美利坚合众国,也被称为美国,美国,美国美国,是一个在北美国家,陆地边界与加拿大和墨西哥,和一个与俄罗斯的海上边界。从大西洋到太平洋,美国是一个联邦共和国,为首都的华盛顿特区

当今美国大陆已经居住了至少15000年的土著部落。[1]在16世纪欧洲的探索和殖民之后,英国建立了自己的殖民地和控制他人所开始较之其他欧洲大陆的东部地区在17和18世纪早期。1776年7月4日,在战争与英国公平治理,十三个殖民地宣布独立。在1783年战争结束后在英国接受的新国家。自那以来,中国已超过四倍大小:现在由50个州和一个联邦地区;它还有众多的海外领土。

²超过370万平方英里(370万多公里),美国是第三或第四大的国家,面积,取决于中国的争议地区。它是世界上第三人口最多的国家,有近3亿人。

美国一直保持着自由民主政治体系的文章,因为它采用了联盟1781年3月1日,宪法,文章的更换,1787年9月17日。美国的军事、经济、文化和政治影响力增加贯穿整个20世纪,随着苏联解体,冷战结束,美国成为这个世界剩下的唯一超级大国。今天[2],它在世界事务中扮演着重要的角色。

最早使用的名称美国从1507年开始,当一个截止阀和一个大地图创建的瓦尔德泽米勒所绘制德国地理学家马丁在Saint-Die-des-Vosges描述了北美和南美大陆。虽然名字的起源是不确定的[3],最普遍的信仰是表示在一本书,Cosmographiae Introductio,这也解释了它作为一个女性化版本的拉丁名字的意大利探险家阿美利哥韦斯普奇(绒毛Vespucius);在拉丁语中,其他大陆的名字都是女性。韦斯普奇的理论正确,克里斯托弗·哥伦布到达1492年在加勒比海岛屿,已经不是印度,而是一个“新的世界”。

美洲也被称为哥伦比亚,在哥伦布,促使土地的名字特区留出随着美国资本。美国哥伦比亚大学仍然是一个受欢迎的名字,直到20世纪初,当它落入相对废弃;但它仍然是用诗意和出现在不同的名字和头衔。国家也被称为哥伦比亚的女性化身,她是类似于不列颠。哥伦布日,假期在美国和其他国家在美洲纪念哥伦布1492年10月着陆。

“美利坚合众国”这个词第一次被使用在《独立宣言》正式通过1776年7月4日。1777年11月15日,第二届大陆Congreadopted联盟的文章,第一个表示“本联盟的阶梯美利坚合众国。”

Music美国人的音乐爱好

James Fenimore Cooper, an early American writer, once said, "The Americans are almost ignorant of the art of music." If that was once true, you would never know it today. Most Americans——even those without a musical bone in their bodies——have a favorite style of music. Many people enjoy classical and folk music from around the world. But other popular music styles in America were "made in the U.S.A."

一位美国早期的作家柯柏(James Fenimore Cooper)曾说：「美国人对音乐艺术几乎可以说是相当的无知。」如果这话曾经是事实，今日你绝不会这么认为了。大部份的美国人，甚至包括那些没有音乐细胞的人，都有自己喜爱的音乐型态。许多人喜欢世界各国的古典音乐和民俗音乐，然而美国其它的流行音乐则是「在美国制造」的。

Country and western music lies close to the heart of many Americans. This style originated among country folks in the southern and western United States. Country music tells down-to-earth stories about love and lifes hardships. Guitars, banjos and violins——also known as fiddles——give country music its characteristic sound. The home of country music is Nashville, Tennessee——Music City U.S.A. Country music even has its own theme park called "Opryland" where you can enjoy music shows and fun rides. "The Grand Ole Opry," the oldest radio show in the United States, broadcasts country music live from Opryland every weekend.

乡村和西部音乐深得很多美国人的人心，这种型态的音乐起源于美国南部和西部的乡村小民们。乡村音乐传述着真实不加渲染的爱情故事和生活中的艰难。吉他、五弦琴和小提琴(violin又名fiddle)可弹奏出乡村音乐的特殊音色。乡村音乐的发源地是田纳西州的纳许维尔市——美国的音乐城市。而乡村音乐甚至还有它自己的主题乐园——Opryland呢!在那儿你可以享受音乐表演以及好玩的游乐设施。美国最老牌的广播节目「The Grand Ole Opry」每个周末都实况播放Opryland的音乐。

Jazz music, developed by African-Americans in the late 1800s, allows performers to freely express their emotions and musical skill. Instead of just playing the melody, jazz musicians improvise different tunes using the same chords. The peak of jazz music came in the 1920s, known as "The Jazz Era." This period produced musicians like Louis Armstrong, Benny Goodman and Duke Ellington. These musicians later created the "big band" sounds of the 1930s. Different styles of jazz developed in different cities, such as New Orleans, Chicago, New York and Kansas City. Composer George Gershwin brought jazz into the world of classical music with pieces like "Rhapsody in Blue."

爵士乐是十九世纪末期由非裔的美国人发展出来的。它让表演者自由地表现他们的情感和音乐技巧。不仅演奏旋律，爵士音乐大师用同样的和弦即兴演奏出不同的曲调。爵士乐的高峰期出现于二○年代，该时期被称为「爵士年代」。这个时期创造出来的乐手有阿姆斯特朗(Louise Armstrong)，古德曼(Benny goodman)和埃林顿(Duke Ellington)。这些乐手稍后都创造了三○年代的「大乐团」之音。在不同的城市也孕育出不同的爵士风格，像是纽奥尔良、芝加哥、纽约和坎萨斯市。作曲家盖希文(George Gershwin)更以像「蓝色狂想曲」这样的作品，将爵士乐带入古典音乐的世界里。

爵士乐是十九世纪末期由非裔的美国人发展出来的。它让表演者自由地表现他们的情感和音乐技巧。不仅演奏旋律，爵士音乐大师用同样的和弦即兴演奏出不同的曲调。爵士乐的高峰期出现于二○年代，该时期被称为「爵士年代」。这个时期创造出来的乐手有阿姆斯特朗(Louise Armstrong)，古德曼(Benny goodman)和埃林顿(Duke Ellington)。这些乐手稍后都创造了三○年代的「大乐团」之音。在不同的城市也孕育出不同的爵士风格，像是纽奥尔良、芝加哥、纽约和坎萨斯市。作曲家盖希文(George Gershwin)更以像「蓝色狂想曲」这样的作品，将爵士乐带入古典音乐的世界里。
