Despite the cultural conflicts between the Orient and the Occident, there do exist some admirable ingredients in the Western culture.

First and foremost, the equality between parents and children. The parents are not always superior to their children, and the children do not always need to obey their parents ‘order, that is, they are more like close friends.

Second, the independent personality. Western people have a strong sense of supporting themselves and being independent. They begin earning their pocket money early in their life, even as kids.

Last, Western people do not always assess a person according to his background. If only he can achieve success through personal struggle, he can win status. Its a talent-oriented society, not background-oriented.

鼠类，是一个庞大的家族，其中的成员有熊猫鼠、仓鼠、荷兰鼠等等等等。今天，我要向大家介绍其中的一种‐‐熊猫鼠。

熊猫鼠之所以叫熊猫鼠是因为它长得像熊猫，但其实又是鼠类，所以人们便叫它熊猫鼠。但即使它叫熊猫鼠，它的毛色和熊猫还是有一定差别的。熊猫的斑点是黑白相间的，而熊猫鼠的毛色是黄白相间的。

我的熊猫鼠是昨天在连云港才买回来的。它有着一双黑豆般的小眼睛、四只柔软的小爪子、长长的胡须、小小的耳朵以及一条光溜溜的小尾巴。它既聪明又可爱，可唯一的缺点就是不喝水。每一次把喝水的小碗放进笼子时，它都非得把小碗弄翻不可。所以我只好喂它吃苹果，以便补充水分。听说熊猫鼠以及仓鼠在野外时平均每天要跑80，所以我特意给它买了一个带跑道的笼子。同时考虑到保暖及隐蔽等因素，我把卫生纸撕成碎条塞满笼子为它做了一个舒适温暖的窝。

晚上，我去饭店吃饭见剩下几个螃蟹，便把蟹腿肉剥下来给熊猫鼠吃，小熊猫鼠见了蟹腿便像黄鼠狼见了小嫩鸡一样抱起来狂吃。我在一旁担心地想：它万一噎着怎么办？不过还好，我的担心是多余的。要想养好熊猫鼠，卫生清洁工作也是非常重要的，这不，今天早上刚醒，我就在房间里闻到一股骚臭味，于是便开始了一场搜索工作，最后发现臭味是从笼子里散发出来的。我便以最快的速度把笼子里的纸条全部换了一遍。现在它正躺在干净的&ldqu;被窝&rdqu;里呼呼大睡。

小朋友，你可千万不要吵醒它，它睡得好香，好甜！

人人都有自己最钦佩的人，他也许是一位音乐家，也许是一位雄才大略的军事家，也许是你身边的一个人……而我最钦佩的人是东汉时期一个军事家——诸葛亮。

诸葛亮机智聪明，每当危险来临时，总会沉着的应对。

记得有一次，刘备在对抗魏国大军时，派诸葛亮、魏延带领30万大军驻守阳平。一天，魏延率领25万大军去攻打曹操，只留万人在阳平。正好司马懿也率领25万人马来攻打阳平，魏延与司马懿错开道路。诸葛亮知道司马懿要来了，就让惊慌的士兵回到城楼上，打开城门，只让几个老头在街上打扫。司马懿知道诸葛亮十分沉着冷静，便怀疑有伏兵，就带兵走了。

从这件事就可以看出诸葛亮的神机妙算，我以后一定要好好地学习他啊！

I am pleased to serve as your guide today.

This is the palace museum; also know as the Purple Forbidden City. It is the largest and most well reserved imperial residence in China today. Under Ming Emperor Yongle, construction began in 1406. It took 14years to build the Forbidden City. The first ruler who actually lived here was Ming Emperor Zhudi. For five centuries thereafter, it continued to be the residence of23 successive emperors until 1911 when Qing Emperor Puyi was forced to abdicate the throne .In 1987, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization recognized the Forbidden City was a world cultural legacy.

It is believed that the Palace Museum, or Zi Jin Cheng (Purple Forbidden City), got its name from astronomy folklore, The ancient astronomers divided the constellations into groups and centered them around the Ziwei Yuan(North Star). The constellation containing the North Star was called the Constellation of Heavenly God and star itself was called the purple palace. Because the emperor was supposedly the son of the heavenly gods, his central and dominant position would be further highlighted the use of the word purple in the name of his residence. In folklore, the term ”an eastern purple cloud is drifting” became a metaphor for auspicious events after a purple cloud was seen drifting eastward immediately before the arrival of an ancient philosopher, LaoZi, to the Hanghu Pass. Here, purple is associated with auspicious developments. The word jin (forbidden) is self-explanatory as the imperial palace was heavily guarded and off-explanatory as the imperial palace was heavily guarded and off-limits to ordinary people.

The red and yellow used on the palace walls and roofs are also symbolic. Red represents happiness, good fortune and wealth. Yellow is the color of the earth on the Loess Plateau, the original home of the Chinese people. Yellow became an imperial color during the Tang dynasty, when only members of the royal family were allowed to wear it and use it in their architecture.

The Forbidden City is rectangular in shape. It is 960 meters long from north to south and 750 meter wide from east west. It has 9,900 rooms under a total roof area 150,000 square meters .A 52-meter-wide-moat encircles a 9.9-meter—high wall which encloses the complex. Octagon —shaped turrets rest on the four corners of the wall. There are four entrances into the city: the Meridian Gate to the south, the Shenwu Gate(Gate of Military Prowess) to the north, and the Xihua Gate(Gate of military Prowess) to the north, and the Xihua Gate(Western Flowery Gate )to the west ,the Donghua (Eastern Flowery Gate) to the east.

Manpower and materials throughout the country were used to build the Forbidden City. A total of 230,000 artisans and one million laborers were employed. Marble was quarried from fangshan Country Mount Pan in Jixian County in Hebei Province. Granite was quarried in Quyang County in Hebei Province. Paving blocks were fired in kilns in Suzhou in southern China. Bricks and scarlet pigmentation used on the palatial walls came from linqing in Shandong Province .Timber was cut ,processed and hauled from the northwestern and southern regions.

The structure in front of us is the Meridian Gate. It is the main entrance to the forbidden City. It is also knows as Wufenglou(Five-Phoenix Tower). Ming emperors held lavish banquets here on the 15th day of the first month of the Chinese lunar year in hornor of their counties .They also used this place for punishing officals by flogging them with sticks.

Qing emperors used this building to announce the beginning of the new year. Qing Emperor Qianglong changed the original name of this announcement ceremony from ban li(announcement of calendar)to ban shou(announcement of new moon )to avoid coincidental association with another Emperor` s name, Hongli, which was considered a taboo at that time. Qing Dynasty emperors also used this place to hold audience and for other important ceremonies. For example,when the imperial army returned victoriously from the battlefield ,it was here that the Emperor presided over the ceremony to accept prisoners of war.

(After entering the Meridian Gate and standing in front of the Five Marble Bridges on Golden Water River)

Now we are inside the Forbidden City.Before we start our tour, I would like to briefly introduce you to the architectural patterns befour us .To complete this solemn, magnificent and palatial complex, a variety of buildings were arranged on a north-south axis, and 8-kilometer-long invisible line that has become an inseparable part of the City of Beijing. The Forbidden City covers roughly one –third of this central axis. Most of the important building in the Forbidden City weree arranged along this line. The design and arrangement of the palaces reflect the solemn dignity of the royal court and rigidly –stratified feudal system.

The Forbidden City is divided into an outer and an inner count.We are now standing on the southernmost part of the outer count. In front of us lies the Gate of supreme Harmony .The gate is guarded by a pair of bronze lions ,symbolizing imperial power and dignity. The lions were the most exquisite and biggest of its kind. The one on the east playing with a ball is a male, and ball is said to represent state unity. The other one is a female. Underneath one of its fore claws is a cub that is considered to be a symbol of perpetual imperial succession. The winding brook before us is the Golden Water River. It functions both as decoration and fire control .The five bridges spanning the river represent the five virtues preached by Confucius :benevolence, righteousness, rites, intellence and fidelity. The river takes the shape of a bow and the north-south axis is its arrow. This was meant to show that the Emperors ruled the country on behalf of God.
