people eat it much earlier than people in the West.Chopsticks are used to eat

most food.Generally, for dinner, there’ll be lots of different dishes, not just

three courses.Besides, Chinese people like to talk about food, so it’s a good

do!

[A Nice day九年级暑假英语日记

端午节来喽!我左盼右盼终于盼来了五月五日，这一天来的可真迟啊!我等它等的都快急死了。你问我为什么这么盼端午?我的答案很简单，因为端午节这一天有得吃有得玩呀!还有一个原因，就是一到端午我们就要放假了! The Dragon Boat Festival is coming! I look forward to it and finally look forward to the May 5th, this day is so late! I wait for it to wait for it to be fast.Very impatient.You ask me why I look forward to the Dragon Boat Festival so? My answer is simple, because there is something to eat and play on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival! Another reason is that we will take a holiday as soon as the Dragon Boat Festival!

五月五，端阳节，家家户户包粽子，吃粽子。而我最喜欢的是吃粽子了!我偷偷告诉你我吃粽子一次能吃好几个呢!你可千万别说我光会吃不会做哦!我也会包粽子：在包粽子前，现将包粽子必备的糯米置于水中泡上一段时间。把采来的箬竹叶放置于水中洗干净，然后把箬竹叶卷成圆锥状，将糯米放入其中。卷好，用线将粽子捆起来便做好了!如果在粽子里加入几颗蜜枣，那么粽子大味道就会更好了!

端午节的时候人们还会佩香囊、悬艾草菖蒲。不过，赛龙舟在我们这里并不常见，我们喜欢在家门口悬艾草菖蒲。用银杏叶与艾草泡水洗澡。父母还会在孩子的耳朵里，鼻子里点上几滴雄黄酒。在做完这些之后，父母会在孩子的手上扣绒，这些都是人们用来祈祷来年平平安安，健健康康的方法。

说到端午节，我们不禁想到屈原，这个节日就是因为他而得来的：此说最早出自南朝梁代吴均的《续其谐记》和南朝宗懔《荆楚岁时记》。据说，屈原投汨罗江后，当地百姓闻讯马上划船捞救，一直行至洞庭湖，始终不见屈原的尸体。那时，恰逢雨天，湖面上的小舟一起汇集在岸边的亭子旁。当人们得知是为了打捞贤臣屈大夫时，再次冒雨出动，争相划进茫茫的洞庭湖。为了寄托哀思，人们荡舟江河之上，此后才逐渐发展成为龙舟竞赛。百姓们又怕江河里的鱼吃掉他的身体，就纷纷回家拿来米团投入江中，以免鱼虾糟蹋屈原的尸体，后来就成了吃粽子的习俗。看来，端午节吃粽子、赛龙舟与纪念屈原相关。

对了，刚刚说完了悬艾草菖蒲，还没说挂香囊呢!戴香包颇有讲究。老年人为了防病健身，一般喜欢戴梅花、菊花、桃子、苹果、荷花、娃娃骑鱼、娃娃抱公鸡、双莲并蒂等形状的，象征着鸟语花香，万事如意，夫妻恩爱，家庭和睦。小孩喜欢的是飞禽走兽类的，如虎、豹子;猴子上竿、斗鸡赶兔等。

青年人戴香包最讲究，如果是热恋中的情人，那多情的姑娘很早就要精心制作一二枚别致的香包，赶在节前送给自己的情郎。小伙子戴着心上人送给的香包，自然要引起周围男女的评论，直夸小伙的对象心灵手巧。而且挂香囊对身体也有好处哦!香包内装的香料通常是用苞白术、白芷等植物的根茎碾碎混合均匀制成的。以往由于医药不发达，这些有有杀菌作用的香包被带在孩子们的身上，起到避邪正气、防治蚊虫和不祥之物骚扰的作用。现代的香包中填充用的香药成分有所突破：薰衣草、马鞭草、迷迭香、干花都可以用来做香包。

看完了上边，我确信你和我一样喜欢端午节。因为它又好玩又有好吃的。不过，韩国居然和我们争端午节，你说这有什么理由?不过，我们的确没有韩国重视这个节日，所以我们一定要重视我们国家的传统节日!

幸福是否可以用金钱购买？不可能！但是不是钱多一点我们就会更开心一点呢？对此，大多数人一定微笑赞同。我们相信，收入的富足与舒适的生活感受之间有着某种联系。几乎所有人都会说，是的，我希望变得富有。而目前有四分之三的美国大学生都认为，过上“十分富裕”的生活是“非常重要”和“必不可少”的。钱的作用的确不小。

Does money buy happiness? No! Ah, but would a little more money make us a little happier? Many of us smirk and nod. There is, we believe, some connection between fiscal fitness and feeling fantastic. Most of us would say that, yes, we would like to be rich. Three in four American collegians now consider it “very important” or “essential” that they become “very well off financially”. Money matters.

但是，富人就一定更快乐吗?研究人员发现，在一些贫穷的国家，相对而言比较富裕确实会使人过得更幸福一些。我们需要食物、住所、休息和社会关系。然而，人们惊讶地发现，在那些几乎所有人都衣食无忧的国家里，财富的增加所产生的效果微乎其微。收入与幸福之间的关联“惊人得微弱”。一旦生活舒适，钱所带来的收益便呈现递减趋势。得到的第二笔十万美元就像吃到的第二只派，尝起来永远都不如第一只那么美味。即使那些彩票得主和福布斯排名前一百的富人们也并没有比一般的美国人更开心多少。飞黄腾达只能带来暂时的喜悦。从长远来说，财富就像健康一样，失去它的人定会感到不幸，而拥有它的人却未必一定幸福。

Well, are rich people happier? Researchers have found that in poor countries, being relatively well off does make for greater well-being. We need food, rest, shelter and social contact. But a surprising fact of life is that in countries where nearly everyone can afford life’s necessities, increasing affluence matters surprisingly little. The correlation between income and happiness is “surprisingly weak”. Once comfortable, more money provides diminishing returns. The second piece of pie, or the second $100,000, never tastes as good as the first. Even lottery winners and the Forbes’ 100 wealthiest Americans have expressed only slightly greater happiness than the average American. Making it big brings temporary joy. But in the long run, wealth is like health: its utter absence can breed misery, but having it doesn’t guarantee happiness.

[英语满分作文幸福话题带翻译

夜阑人静，泉清月冷，悲悲怨怨，时起时伏，似一个刚直顽强的盲艺人在向人们倾诉他的坎坷的一生，凡是喜欢民族古典音乐的人，一定猜得出这是阿炳的二胡独奏曲《二泉映月》。流传在中国乐坛上的二胡独奏曲不计其数，但我惟独喜欢这首用血和泪谱写，用心拉出的“自度曲”──《二泉映月》。

我父亲是一个音乐爱好者，能拉一手漂亮的二胡。那时侯家里穷，惟一值钱的家什就是父亲的那把二胡。记得我几岁时，一到夏天的晚上，父亲就拿上他心爱的二胡，坐在临街的门口石凳上，悠闲地拉上几段小曲，有些好乐的村民还会时不时地唱几口。有一次，我听到父亲演奏这首《二泉映月》，乍一听简直喜欢得不得了，那如泣如诉的旋律从父亲那满是老茧的指间滑出，是那么动人心魄，我不由得被它紧紧地吸引了。那时侯，我不懂音乐，冥冥中只觉得自己好象融入了乐曲中，情绪随主人公变化。以后的日子里，每当听到父亲演奏这首曲子，我就立刻静静地凝神平息倾听。但是，这首乐曲真正打动我，却是在我上师范的那一年秋天。

记得那是一个下午，音乐欣赏课，音乐老师拎着录音机来上课，当我得知要欣赏阿炳的《二泉映月》时，激动的心都要跳出来了。音乐开始了，乐曲继短小的引子后，旋律上行，呈微波形的旋律线，恰似作者端坐泉边沉思往事，第二乐句从高八度音开始，打破了前面的沉静，开始昂扬起来，流露出作者无限感慨之情，旋律在高音上流动，并出现了新的节奏因素，柔中带刚，情绪更为激动。主题从开始的平静深沉逐渐转为激动昂扬，深刻地揭示了作者内心的生活感受和顽强自傲的生活意志，这是一位饱尝人间辛酸和痛苦的盲艺人的感情流露。全曲的主题变奏五次，随着音乐的陈述，所表达的情感得到了充分的抒发，深化了主题。

音乐时起时伏，忽强忽弱，凝神倾听这仿佛天籁之音，空灵、轻柔;细细品位每一个感觉，飘逸、低回，阿炳用心灵抒写的音乐，滤尽了人间的浮躁，让人抛弃了五光十色的诱惑，深深地牵动我的心，我的心潮湿了，这充满魅力的音乐，那么让人感动，让人情不自禁。这时思想远离了纷乱，灵魂跳起了舞蹈，仿佛神游在隐秘的梦之国。听毕全曲，更犹如见其人。

多年来，每当我听到这首世界名曲，我依然把它当作一首“依心曲”来听，它是阿炳依心而为，依心而诉，依心而来，依心而去的真实写照。啊，这永远的《二泉映月》，为你的每一次感动都能让我回味很久，是因为有了这美妙的乐曲，像空气、像花香一样弥漫在尘世间;是因为有阿炳走来，将人世间的我拥抱。

To be or nor to be, that is a question. To succeed or to fail? How to

succeed and how to achieve? These problems confuse many teenagers in

nowadays.

We all have dreams, and we all work hard to realize them. But there will

always be some problems and setbacks to stop the pace of advance. When they

appear, what should we do? To stop or to go on? Mrs. Curie told us the answer.

We all know that Mrs. Curie discovered radium, but how many people really know

how hard she worked? At that time, there were many people disapprove of Mrs.

Curie. Although she got over hundreds of difficulties, she still believed in

herself and never gave up. Finally, she succeeded to discover radium. She proved

that she was right by her continuous hard work and her strong spirit. We should

learn from Mrs. Curie. She told us the truth through her own experiences that

believe in yourself, you can do it! Never give up, face the difficulties with a

smile, someday, you will be proud of yourself.

The key to success is confidence. It makes you brave, helps you get over

the troubles, and brings motivation to you. For example, somebody always get

nervous when they have an important speech, if they are in a nervous mood, the

results are always terrible. But if they are confident to themselves, the

results turn out to be better. Therefore, be confident, believe in yourself,

keep smile in your face when comes to difficulties, and you will achieve

more.

亲爱的编辑，

众所周知，日常生活中有各种各样的谣言。他们中的一些人不仅使我们感到不安，而且给我们造成了巨大的伤害。

当我们面对谣言时，我认为首先我们应该忽视他们。如果我们不重视谣言，谣言很快就会告一个底。此外，我们还可以与传播谣言的人交流，以使他们意识到谣言的危害。最后但并非最不重要的，请记住，谣言将不会影响我们的生活，如果我们不相信他们很容易。

你的

有人说，青春是快乐的源泉;快乐在这里流淌，痛苦也在这里徘徊。有人写，青春是多雨的天空;雨露在这里蔓延，阳光也在天边等待。有人唱，青春是挥洒的领域;自由在这里走动，封锁也在隔壁守候。

青春是快乐的，正值花季的我们学会了真诚，在同学老师眼里，我们是快乐的精灵，我们幸福，我们自由，我们快乐的对待每一个人，每一件事。

青春是多情的，步入青春的我们忘记了《让我们荡起双桨》的旋律，慢慢地我们喜欢上了许嵩的低调、周杰伦的耍帅、汪苏泷的深情。青春的我们会随音乐情调的变化而变化，当偶然听到一首有特殊意义的歌时，我们会忽然想起一些人，一些事和一些尘封已久的画面。我们变得多情了。

青春是无悔的，十五六岁的我们充满力量，敢于拼搏，我们不怕失败，因为我们坚信：青春没有失败，自信创造精彩。我们是富有生命力的一代，我们想要做成一件事就会坚持到底，我们不怕挫折，我们不怕打击，我们只希望专属我们的青春是给力的，是无悔的!

青春是奇妙的，我们会因为一些小事而哭的稀里哗啦，可过后想想也不知到底为什么。我们会幻想几年后，自己会变成什么样子，是不是还能和很要好的朋友畅谈年轻时的梦想，是不是还能记得自己最初的梦想，是不是还能想起那些曾经的曾经。

这就是专属我们的给力青春，它不需要装饰就五彩斑斓，它是纯洁的，它是我们人生中最难忘、最值得留恋的时期。因为青春，我们用力呼吸，用力做梦。因为青春，我们不怕失败，努力往前飞。因为青春，我们有用不完的精力，Happy、together。因为青春，我们约定制造共同的回忆，镶在青春纪念册。

坚持到底终不悔，回首相看人生路，泪满襟。——题记 Persist in the end and never regret it.--Inscription

“是你让我看透生命之东西，四个字，坚持到底。”这本是阿杜的成名曲，如今却是我们每个人的奋斗曲。人生不可能一帆风顺，难免会有磕磕碰碰，但是我们不放弃，坚持到底。因为我们始终坚信明天会更好。挫折是磨练我们意志的绊脚石，也是我们人生动铺路石。它带来痛苦，却战胜后又是成功的欢喜。

高考犹如一次长跑，总有人坚持到底，总有人半途放弃。有甲，乙，丙参加长跑，甲早已遥遥领先，乙次居，丙末尾。在甲距终点还有2000公里，他回头看了看后面，发现他远远超过别人，于是他想第一稳是他，与此同时，不由得放慢了脚步。而当乙距终点还有2000公里时，他看见甲早已超过他了，于是他放弃了长跑，休息他那麻木的脚。

然而并却与众不同，他思考着自己所处的地段，决定再加把劲，勇往直前，终于在距终点还有2000公里时，他追上了乙，顿时让他自信大增，不由得更加快了步伐。结果不想而知，丙最终夺得桂冠，人生就如一次长跑，只要你坚持到底，永不放弃。但也不能学甲稍有放松，人生如此，高考也是如此。

高考是人生的转折点，是实现理想最佳最快的途径。好好把握现在的一分一秒，每天都有不一样的变化，高考，是实现人生价值的平台，因此坚持到底是我们不懈的动力。

坚持到底，是人生中一笔财富。爱迪生面对失败一千多次，耳朵也被做实验给振聋了，可他坚持到底，一直走下去，因此发明了电灯等，他是伟大的，不仅仅是他的成就，也更是他那坚强的品格，他不畏艰难，不为失败，因为他始终坚信失败是成功之母，给了他动力和失败汲取的经验。

坚持到底，让阿杜一夜成名，也让爱迪生永留史册，也更让千千万万的人们实现理想，不畏艰难，勇往直前。

“如果没有你，我的生活将是一片狼藉。”

This is a touching book, but also gives people a happy book, but also gives an enlightening book. This is Cao Wenxuan novel "grass house," I left a deep impression. Although I have not personally experienced a novel heroine Sangsang around what happened to some things, but small Sangsang and his partners often lifelike image to emerge in my eyes. Sangsang especially a good friend - on paper the miserable fate of not only caused the shock of my soul, I feel the life in the United States.

On paper is similar to my age girl, her mother gave birth shortly after her death, she and her grandmother have been Xiangyiweiming. Paper, is a great girl, her brush is the word, Yau Ma Tei, primary school students in one of the best written, she will be back many ancient poetry, readings also very good, writing is not bad, but not on paper Yisiyihao the Best.

On paper, a Wenruo, tranquil and soft ﹑ innocent girls. She May 6, to go back and forth to school, in the way to school are often bad boy bully, and the delay in the class, shes endured in silence. Later, her grandmother also left from her, leaving her standing alone one person, her life has never complained about what.

Although the paper on the growth in rural areas, not superior living environment, not gorgeous Yizhuang, in my eyes she was then the United States, like the lotus pond in Hanbaodaifang.

And her comparison, I have a lucky number. I love my parents, I have a prosperous life conditions, I have excellent learning environment. At the same time, and I do compared to her more favourably. Ying Chen paper on the human body the United States, paper, I understand, the United States is quietly endure Zaikunnanzhong; United States is quietly persist in the face of adversity; Park in the United States is the real simple life.

爱分为好多种，其中有父母给你的爱，长辈给你的爱，社会给你的爱，还有祖国给你的爱，但我更看重友爱。

当我刚进入幼儿园时，友爱便已伴随在我身边，我和其他一些小伙伴们做游戏，玩耍，这是友爱。幼儿园无忧无虑的美好时光很快便过去了。我踏进了小学的校门。我在学校同样感到了友爱的存在。当我刚进入班级，到一个新的陌生环境中，我还不太适应，但通过几天的学习，我又和新的同学们交上了朋友，作为班级一员，同学们给我取了一个外号—海龟，我并没有生气。

并且觉得海龟这个外号也没什么不适，叫起来挺亲切的，于是海龟这个外号伴随我走过了小学中的四年时光。在原来的学校中，我有个非常要好的朋友，他叫肖昌录。肖昌录和我是同桌，我们的兴趣不谋而合，很快，我和他便成了知己朋友。在学校中，我们以兄弟称呼，做作业学习我们总是一起做，互相讨论难的题目。下课了，我们更是亲密，踢足球，打乒乓球，我们总是兴高采烈地出去，满头大汗地回来，形影不离。

有一次上课，我在底下偷偷地看《三国演义》，刘备的诚恳，关羽的豪气，诸葛亮的机智，曹操的奸诈等深深地吸引了我，当我正看到关羽过五关、斩六将时，肖昌录在一旁悄悄提醒我，说：“别看了，被老师发现，你可就惨了。”但我正是看得精采的时候，哪肯合上书啊。我便朝肖昌录挥了挥手，继续看。

肖昌录叹了一口气，只得由我。没过多久，老师果然发现了，罚我写了二百字的检讨，我是既后悔，又难堪，我为不听肖昌录的话后悔，为当着全班同学的面受批评而难堪。我这时才明白，真正的友情不止体现在玩耍中，学习中的良师益友才是真正的好朋友。还有一次，上美术课，我的橡皮泥忘带了，正在着急时，肖昌录拍了拍我的肩膀说：“我和你合作呢。”我仿佛看到了生机，连忙答应，后来我才知道，肖昌录原先已和别人组好组了，听说我没带，便退出与我一组……

这便是友爱，是肖昌录让我明白了真正的友爱——帮助朋友，不求回报。

性格决定成功 Disposition Decides to Man’s Success

As we all known, the man who wants to be success should have a good disposition. As the saying goes, “disposition decide to everything.” I remember a famous motto: there are no two identical people in the world, but the success people are similar in many ways. Exactly, good disposition is the foundation of success. From my point of view, I deemed it success should also rely on these factors: diligent, confident, humor. It can help us to open the door of success.

我们都知道想要成功的人都应该有一个好的性格。俗话说，“性格决定一切。”我记得一句著名的格言：在世界上没有两个相同的人，但成功人士在许多方面是相似的。确切地说，良好的性格是成功的基础。从我的角度来看，我认为成功依赖于这些因素：勤奋，自信，幽默。它可以帮助我们打开成功之门。

There is no denying that diligent is the first step to the success. As the proverb says, no pains, no gains. Absolutely, guess that a person without diligent, how can he get achievements. Many successful people have become famous in the world by their diligent. Therefore we should take diligence as a good habit rather than lazy at every time.

不可否认，勤奋是成功的第一步。正如谚语所说的，没有付出就没有收获。所以绝对可以说一个不勤奋的人，他如何能有成就。许多成功的人都是通过勤奋才在出名的。因此我们应该把勤奋作为一个良好的习惯，而不总是懒惰。

Edison said “confident is the mother of the success. There is no doubt that confidence is important to our daily life .If someone without confident, he will never succeed in the end of his life. If someone trusted himself, he would gained more chance to succeed. How could you get other’s trust if you didnt trust yourself?

爱迪生说：“自信是成功之母。毫无疑问，自信在我们的日常生活中是很重要的。如果一个没有自信的人，直到他走到生命的尽头他也不会成功的。如果有自信的人，他会得到更多成功的机会。如果连你自己都不相信自己你又如何要别人相信你呢?

In addition, humor plays an important role in our life. It’s obvious that a sense of humor can bring happiness to others and get involved to a group easily. Just like my friend who is an energetic and lovely boy. The boss and staff like him very much. Boss thinks highly of him in the company. Sometimes, we should learn to how express humorously. A sense of humor can create unexpected result.

再者，幽默在我们的生活中也扮演着很重要的角色。显然，一个有幽默感的人能给别人带来开心并很容易融进去。就像我一个朋友，他是一个很热情很可爱的男孩。老板和员工都很喜欢他。在公司老板很器重他。有时，我们应该学会如何表达幽默。幽默感能够创造出意想不到的成果。

From what has been mention above, a good disposition is an important factor to our success. Therefore, how to develop a good disposition is essential.

从上面所提到的可知，良好的性格是我们成功的重要因素。因此，如何培养良好性格是很重要的。

Years ago, when I started looking for my first job, wise advisers urged, "Barbara, be enthusiastic! Enthusiasm will take you further than any amount of experience." How right they were. Enthusiastic people can turn a boring drive into an adventure, extra work into opportunity and strangers into friends."Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm," wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson. It is the paste that helps you hang in there when the going gets tough. It is the inner voice that whispers, "I can do it!" when others shout, "No, you can’t."

It took years and years for the early work of Barbara McClintock, a geneticist who won the 1983 Nobel Prize in medicine, to be generally accepted. Yet she didn’t let up on her experiments. Work was such a deep pleasure for her that she never thought of stopping.We are all born with wide-eyed, enthusiastic wonder as anyone knows who has ever seen an infant’s delight at the jingle of keys or the scurrying of a beetle.

It is this childlike wonder that gives enthusiastic people such a youthful air, whatever their age.At 90, cellist Pablo Casals would start his day by playing Bach. As the music flowed through his fingers, his stooped shoulders would straighten and joy would reappear in his eyes. Music, for Casals, was an elixir that made life a never ending adventure. As author and poet Samuel Ullman once wrote, "Years wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul."

How do you rediscover the enthusiasm of your childhood? The answer, I believe, lies in the word itself. "Enthusiasm" comes from the Greek and means "God within." And what is God within is but an abiding sense of love — proper love of self (self-acceptance) and, from that, love of others.Enthusiastic people also love what they do, regardless of money or title or power. If we cannot do what we love as a full-time career, we can as a part-time avocation, like the head of state who paints, the nun who runs marathons, the executive who handcrafts furniture. Elizabeth Layton of Wellsville, Kan, was 68 before she began to draw. This activity ended bouts of depression that had plagued her for at least 30 years, and the quality of her work led one critic to say, "I am tempted to call Layton a genius." Elizabeth has rediscovered her enthusiasm.We can’t afford to waste tears on "might-have-beens." We need to turn the tears into sweat as we go after "what-can-be." We need to live each moment wholeheartedly, with all our senses — finding pleasure in the fragrance of a back-yard garden, the crayoned picture of a six-year-old, the enchanting beauty of a rainbow. It is such enthusiastic love of life that puts a sparkle in our eyes, a lilt in our steps and smooths the wrinkles from our souls.

拥抱是一个简单的礼节，但它能给予人温暖，赋予人力量，使人感到幸福。 Hug is a simple etiquette, but it can give people warmth, give people strength, and make people feel happy.

其实，每一个人的家庭都是温暖的，就像每一个拥抱，都能使人从心底感到幸福，只要你用心体会的话。

在一个寒风呼啸的冬日凌晨，我穿着两件单薄的衣服，在大街上漫无目的地游荡。天很冷，心更冷。

“你考了这样的破成绩还想要我给你买手机?”这样凶巴巴说话的就是我的妈妈，“等下次成绩进步了再说!”“可，你说过期末考试考完就帮我买的呀，再说，”我底气非常不足，话还没说完便又被打断了。“再说什么?就算你说出一千个、一万个理由，我也不会给你买的!”面对妈妈无情的打断，听到这样坚决的话，我的心仿佛坠入了熊熊燃烧的火海，怒火不能自已地从心头喷发至全身每一个角落。我将手中攥紧的成绩单撕得粉碎，扔出窗外，任凭他们随风飘走。随即，我便摔门而出。

没有被窝的夜晚极其漫长，大街上静静的，我不断在一条条熟悉的街道上徘徊，心中不断抱怨妈妈。我不知道她有没有出来找我，但我内心其实还是希望能与她在某个地方撞上，不过我也不会做出任何退缩的表现。可她整晚都不见踪影，天空也从漆黑一片到微微泛起了鱼肚白，就在我考虑要不要回去时，背后伸出了一双手，紧紧地搂住了我，这双手干枯而又冰冷。她肯定是我妈妈，我本想回头给她一个嘲讽的笑，便挣脱她的双手。

可当我转身看见妈妈的样子时，手脚变得有些不听使唤，心也“咯噔”地痛了一下。她头发凌乱，脸色如白纸一般苍白，眼中血丝遍布，眼角还残留着依稀可见的泪痕，穿着一件大棉袄却全身都在颤抖，吞吞吐吐地对我说道：“对不起，儿子，跟我回家，好吗?”我默默地点了点头，感觉有股暖流在心中涌动。我也轻轻伸出双手，抱住了妈妈。这种温暖的拥抱似乎有很久很久不曾体会到了呢?!但它真的能使我感到无比温暖，与幸福。

洁白的天空中飘下了雪花，但我已经不再感到寒冷了。

每一个人都见过成功的彩虹，都尝过成功的喜悦，而成功的秘诀是什么呢?那就是坚持不懈的精神。 Everyone has seen successful rainbow, and they have tasted the joy of success. What is the secret of success? That is a unremitting spirit.

从毛毛虫蜕变成蝴蝶，是一个艰难的、痛苦的过程，但它并没有因此而放弃，而是凭着坚持不懈的精神，最终赢得了美丽;蚌壳里钻进了一粒细小的沙粒，使它不断地分秘汁液，这种过程是一种折磨，是一种煎熬，但它并没有向困难低头，而是凭着坚持不懈的精神，一层一层地包裹着这粒细小的沙，最终它孕育出了绚丽夺目的珍珠。

事实证明，无论多么艰难的事情，只要你有着坚持不懈的精神，你就一定会战胜困难，收获成功的硕果。

海伦?凯勒，是个家喻户晓的人物，她是一个在无声的黑暗世界里摸索的少女，但她并没有因此而自暴自弃，而是以她惊人的毅力和坚持不懈的精神，掌握了许多的知识，创造了生命的奇迹。

贝多芬，这位着名的音乐家，创作了许许多多优秀的音乐作品。风华正茂的他，面对失聪这一致命的打击，并没有向命运低头，而是更加努力地创作音乐，凭着坚持不懈的精神，他创作了举世闻名的《命运交响曲》。这是他心灵的呼唤，是他灵魂的发泄。

爱迪生，这位给人类世界带来光明的科学家，在他发明电灯的时候，屡次碰壁。面对2000多次的失败，他并没有放弃，仍然执着地追求着，废寝忘食地钻研着，终于，他凭着自己坚持不懈的精神，取得了成功，从此，人类的夜晚不再只有黑暗陪伴，而是变得更加美丽，更加明亮，更加繁华。

蒲松龄，曾先后参加了四次科举，却从未及第，但他并未因此颓废，而是要立志完成一部“孤愤之书”，于是他在镇纸上刻着这样一幅对联：“有志者，事竞成，破釜沉舟，百二秦关终属楚;苦心人，天不负，卧薪尝胆，三千越甲可吞吴。”他以此自警自勉，最终，凭着自己坚持不懈的精神，完成了一部宏伟着作——《聊斋志异》。

愚公移山、精卫填海，都告诉了我们这样一个道理：坚持就是胜利。

人生不可能是一条平坦的大道，路上总是布满了荆棘，但是阳光总在风雨后，只要你有着坚持不懈的精神，我相信，你一定会越过那些山和海，看到成功的彩虹。

what isHappiness? different people have different ideas. some people are rich; they think they are happy. other people have many friends, so they feel happy. still others are happy because their lives are meaningful.

happiness attracts(吸引) everyone. for children, happiness often suggests eating something good or playing with toys. for a stamp collector, stamps bring more delight than meals. and for a scientist, a discovery or an invention rather than anything else gives him greatest satisfaction.

there was once a beggar who was always happy. the king saw him and wondered why he was so happy because he was so poor. however, the king could have whatever he wanted; yet he himself was not happy at all. thus we can see one’s happiness doesn’t depend on whether he is rich or poor. happiness is a state of mind. as long as one thinks he’s content and satisfied, he is happy.

as everything exist only because its opposite(对立的), happiness exists only when pain exists. just as a person who does not know failure never knows success, a person, who has not experienced suffering or sadness never knows what happiness means.

happiness always promises (允诺) a hope by which people go on living. when they come to the point of losing hope because they have suffered a great deal, it is often the time when happiness comes that will give them the courage and desire(渴望) to live.

cheer up and be happy. happiness is not far from you. it’s just around you. try to grasp(抓牢) it and enjoy it.

童年大家都经历过，他是我们最快乐的时段。 Everyone has experienced childhood, he is our happiest time.

传说水浒梁山里有一股“快乐的泉水”人们只要喝上一口，就可以快乐的过一辈子。许多人都想得到它，可是始终没有人找到过它。

村子里有一个财主，他只关心自己，不关心别人，所以一个朋友也没有，日子过的很不快乐。他想得到快乐，决定去找“快乐的泉水”。

走了好几天，在茂密的森林里，他遇到了一位白发苍苍的老人。财主问老人“快乐的泉水”在哪里。老人说愿意告诉他，但是有一个条件，找到泉水后，必须分给村子里的每一个人喝，使别人也得到快乐。为了得到泉水，那个财主只好答应老人的条件。财主按照老人指引的方向，果然找到了那股泉水。

财主装了满满一大瓶“快乐的泉水”往回走。他一面走，一面想：“我好不容易找到泉水，却要分给大家喝，真是岂有此理!这瓶水决不能分给别人喝，我要把它世世代代传下去，让我的子孙也能永远快乐!”

财主高兴地回到家里，关上门窗，把妻子叫到跟前说：“我找到快乐的泉水了!千万别让人知道。”说罢，就把瓶盖打开。奇怪，瓶子里根本没有水，倒出来的却是一张纸条，只见那张纸条上面写着：“只顾自己快乐的人，永远得不到快乐!”

这个故事告诉我们：“有快乐，要拿出来与别人一起分享，这样大家才能更快乐更幸福。”

真正快乐的人是跟别人一起分享快乐的人，是跟别人一起享受幸福的人，而那些不快乐的人，正是不想跟别人一起分享快乐，分享幸福的人。分享就是快乐，反之，即使得到快乐，也不能感受到其中的滋味。

My View on Helping Others in Need

In modern society we are often sorry to see that people are reluctant to

help others out, not to mention helping a stranger; offering a helping hand

seems to be out of accord with the times.

Then what’s wrong with our society? Some people may say that facing

skyrocketinghousing prices, expensive medical expenditure and soaring commodity

prices, they have no choice but to struggle to make a living, and thus it would

be impossible to spare a hand to help others because it may bring them into

trouble. Therefore, standing by indifferently is their only choice.

However, is it necessary to be selfish in order to survive, or in order to

ensure that people do not take advantage of you? In my opinion, helping others

brings a strong sense of accomplishment. What’s more, the evaluation criteria

for judging one individual’s success should be modified so that offering a

helping hand to people in need is encouraged and welcomed in our society all the

time.

一路走来，我们经历过挫折与迷茫，在迷雾中寻找方向，在哭泣中开始成长，这正是人类发展的必不可少的经历，也是一个尤为重要的时期。正如主持人董卿所说：“生存还是毁灭，这是一个永恒的选择题，以至于到最后，我们成为一个什么样的人，可能不在于我们的能力，而在于我们的选择。”

在生命中，有无数选择，不同的选择，可能决定不同的人生道路。

选择需要勇敢，勇敢地选择可以改变一生。著名的演员当时正在两部电影中所纠结，一部有着盛情邀请，一部却资金匮乏，不为人看好。他不顾好友的多次劝说，毅然决然地遵从了内心的声音——去接受那部当时被人们所不看好的低成本“小”电影。他说：“哪怕这个碟拍完以后不放映，我自己留下来藏一辈子，也值了。”却没想到这么“犯傻”的决定却帮他拿到了影帝这一大奖，他所拍的正是《钢的琴》这一经典电影，他饰演的陈桂林这一形象引起了观众的共鸣，许多人也成了他的粉丝。

生活的难处就在于选择。人生要果断选择，不怕困难终会成功。

在1997年就有247位留法人员回国，他们当中很多人在法国已有稳定的工作、丰厚的收入，但是他们还是选择返回祖国参加新中国的建设研究。他们都是一些学有专长的人，有的还是某些科学前沿的专家。如曾任法国血管和血液研究所研究员并获得法国国家级大奖的韩中朝。

在法国以第一发明人资格申请三项环保专利的余德辉，在药用植物深绿卷化学成分和原理作用研究中取得突出成绩的林瑞超，还有在凝聚物理研究中取得新发现的莫洪等人物，他们决定放弃高薪和优越的生活条件，毅然选择返回祖国，他们深深感到，自己的根在中国，自己的事业在中国。

选择，是留给有准备的人，敢于果断争取的人。选择正确的路，会让我们的人生更加丰富多彩。也许人生之旅每一步密布荆棘，每一处都悬崖万丈，波涛汹涌，但都会一一被我们征服，因为我们都能正确地选择人生的三岔口。有人说，我们这个时代不缺机会，所以也势必会让每一个人面临许多选择。路是脚踏出来的，历史是人写出来的，人的每一步都在证明自己的选择。

学会选择，这样才不会“迷路”。人生无处不在选择，选择就在人生，让我们一起把握方向，扬帆起航!

Dear students,

As we know, safety is the most important thing in our lives. So, we should try our best to make sure we are safe.

We mustn’t bring restricted knives or things to our school because these things may cause serious problems. Do not have a bath in rivers or ponds by ourselves without our parents’ permission. And, we should be friendly to others so fighting is strongly banned. Make sure that we should always pay attention to the traffic on our way to school or home. Furthermore, if we meet some emergency, we must call for help from the police or our teachers.

In a word, following these safeties rules above can make us live in peace.

Yours,

Li Hua

【汉语翻译】

亲爱的同学们，

正如我们所知道的，安全是我们生活中最重要的东西。所以，我们应该尽力确保我们的安全。

我们不能带限制的刀子或东西到我们的学校，因为这些东西可能会导致严重的问题。未经父母允许，不得在江河或池塘内洗澡。我们应该友好地对待别人，所以强烈禁止打架。在上学或回家的路上，一定要注意交通。此外，如果我们遇到紧急情况，我们必须向警察或我们的老师求助。

总之，这些安全规则可以使我们生活在和平。

你的好朋友，

李华
