正当雪飘如絮，雪厚霜浓的时候，我们迎来了一年一度的春节。春节是喜气洋洋的，令人欢喜的。亲朋好友欢聚一堂，一家子热热闹闹的这情景多令人神往啊！这个春节，我们一家到当地过年的习俗。

大年三十的早晨六点整，外面还是漆黑一片，可以隐隐约约听到一两声鞭炮声，屋檐下的冰柱在灯光的照射下，发出金色的光芒。睡眼朦胧的我被叫起，我喃喃地迷惑不解地问妈妈：“今天我们有什么重要的活动需要这么早起？”“抢年呀！”妈妈神秘地说，“抢年”是张家界过年的风俗，谁起的早，谁就能在一年中得到好运。我不禁联想到一句谚语：早起的鸟儿多得食。原来“抢年”是人们对未来美好生活的一种向往啊！我赶紧吃完早饭，便与爸爸妈妈一起去逛街。

哇！好热闹啊！只听见从府城旁传来一阵锣鼓声。我赶紧凑上前去。府城正中央在表演花灯，左边有几个老人在打腰鼓，右边则在舞狮子灯。表演花灯的人有的戴着红帽子，有的系着红丝带，他们正绘声绘色地唱着张家界的风土人情。他们身上艳丽的衣服在远处皑皑白雪的天门山的照映下更加鲜艳。“咚咚锵锵……”舞狮子的开始大显身手了！他们二人合扮一头狮子，一个人执头，一个人扮尾。主要是靠狮子头指挥。狮子是金黄色的，让人们觉得无比清爽。斗狮子的人手中拿着一个斗大的绣球，不停地做着各种各样的功夫动作。狮子一会作出“金狮吐节”，“狮子滚绣球”的复杂动作，一会摆出“白鹤亮翅”，“犀牛望月”的造型。“好！“人们大喊。因为艺人们把一头凶猛的狮子变得如此祥和，活泼，可爱，灵活，敏捷，所以博得了观众的热烈掌声和阵阵喝彩。

晚上，夜幕降临，星星调皮地眨着眼睛。这个时候是过年最开心的时候，因为可以品尝到美味无穷的年夜饭。餐桌上摆着许多美味佳肴。伴随着此起彼伏的鞭炮声，一家人吃着可口的饭菜，我不禁想到了长辈们的年夜饭。爷爷曾经说过，他们的过年时有馒头吃就不错了。想到这，我觉得我们的生活过得真好，应该要好好珍惜它才对啊。

伴随着新年的钟声，我悄悄地进入了梦乡。这个不同寻常的新年在我梦中再次浮现。 以新年为话题的作文（二）

“春节”是我们中华民族的传统佳节。每到这时候，家家户户都要聚在一起吃团圆饭。打工者都急急忙忙的收拾行李准备回家，拿着一年的工资，心中暖洋洋的；我们小孩子取得了好成绩，心中美滋滋的，等待家长们的夸奖……大街上、小区里、超市中，到处都洋溢着喜气，一派热闹的场面。

今天是大年三十，早晨金色的阳光洒满大地。我和妈妈兴高采烈地去街上买东西，街道一夜之间仿佛变了样，大街上张灯结彩热闹非凡，家家户户贴着春联、挂着红灯笼。人们穿着节日的盛装，纷纷脸带微笑走在街上，有的购物，有的观赏，一片欢乐祥和的景象。

晚上，我们全家人赶到了奶奶家过年吃团圆饭。一到奶奶家，我就看见堂妹一家、大姑一家、小姑一家都纷纷到齐了，这可真是大团圆啊。大人们在厨房里忙个不停，我们小孩就在外面放鞭炮，不一会一大桌子菜就烧好了。哇塞，糖醋鱼、红烧鸡、焖黄鳝、烀皮甲鱼、锅烧鲤鱼、炒虾仁儿、炒腰花儿、炒蹄筋儿……全是我爱吃的，看的我心花怒放，口水飞流三千尺啊。

等着盼着期待着，终于等到了二十点了，《春节联欢晚会》开始了，我们一大家子人都坐在电视机前看“春晚”。春晚的节目有：开场短片《春晚是什么》、开场歌曲《想你的365天》、舞蹈有《万马奔腾》等、歌曲有《时间都去哪儿了》等、小品有《扶不扶》等、还有创意武术、京剧、魔术、杂技等等很多的节目呢，最后是每年都有的一首《难忘今宵》。()节目很精彩，也很有寓意，也祝贺我们马到成功，新春大吉。

“当当当……”随着新年钟声的敲响，烟花和爆竹便齐鸣起来。我和爸爸拿出了早已准备好的烟花，点燃了烟花筒，只听见“轰”的一声巨响，一颗烟花弹升到了空中，在一瞬间爆炸了，那爆炸了的烟花仿佛是一朵美丽的莲花在空中展开了花瓣，这时，一颗颗烟花又从烟花筒中喷发，像无数明亮而璀璨的流星，在天空中一闪而过……天空中还闪烁着其他的烟火，它们有的如一串串珍珠，有的如一颗颗流星，有的如一朵朵菊花，有的如一条条瀑布……让我目不暇接。一声声响亮的爆竹声，一朵朵光芒四射、灿烂无比的烟花，在天空中飞舞，各式各样，五光十色，把天空点缀成一朵鲜花，夜空顿时变得光彩夺目。此时的场面，被笑声、鞭炮声、喊声、乐曲声合成的旋律包围着，真是热闹极了。

新的一年又到了，在新的一年里，一切都将发生变化，自己又长大了一岁，我希望这一年好运一直陪伴着我，我也会更加努力的，争取在这一年中，能取得优异的成绩，长大后，为家乡的建设作出巨大的贡献。 以新年为话题的作文（三）

爆竹声中，我们迎来了中国人最盛大的节曰——春节，家家喜气洋洋，挂上红红的灯笼，贴上红红的春联，忙忙碌碌……

正月初一，又是一个快乐的曰子。以往我都是起得最晚的人，可今天我争了个第一，因为极想闻闻那香气扑鼻的爆竹烟味儿。一串串鞭炮在人们手中点燃，声音真大，四处飞溅，仿佛要把每一个祝福送到千家万户，一阵阵爆竹声接连不断，噼里啪啦的，热闹非凡吃过饭后，我邀几个朋友一起去玩，在街上点燃的爆竹在地上开出了美丽的花，漂亮极了，袋里装着父母给的零花钱，甭提多高兴了。今天的小鸟也出来凑热闹，大概它们心里也很高兴吧。

再去别的地方瞧瞧如何？在一家文具店摊前，我又停下了脚步。那里有各种玩的东西：飞机模型、望远镜、电动汽车……尽是一些玩的东西。我发现最受欢迎的是那些玩的东西。

在其它地方，我还看见有的在卖气球、跳绳，有的在卖小吃、点心、水果，穿的用的吃的样样俱全，真是无奇不有。玩了一上午，下午我又要去走亲访友拜新年了，这无疑也是一件高兴的事。晚上家家户户都灯火通明，家家都把房子打扮得别具一格，各有各的个性。他们把买来的年货放得满地都地。买来的年画怎么贴法，那就各有自己的风格和喜好了。有的正着贴，有的倒着贴，还有的歪着贴，各有千秋。人们把买来的菜全部都弄好了，只等春节一到，就可一饱口福了。家家备有鞭炮，人们穿上新衣服，准备迎新年，在春节前，人们一出门，如果遇上了好朋友，总是口中不忘说一句：“上街啊！”今天真是玩得太痛快了！算是一饱眼福二饱口福三饱手福了。最为幸运的是那些卖主了，今天可是生意兴隆啰！一些亲朋好友欢聚一堂，品尝着美酒佳肴，谈着一些开心的话儿。而最高兴的则是我们，可以大把大把地攒取压岁钱，然后就欢天喜地跑到街上去买很多好玩的东西，如小汽车、四驱车、玩具枪、足球等，而我们只要嘴巴甜一点，多说些祝福的话儿，那可就大赚一笔了！

人们一直玩到深夜，嘴里啃着美味水果，手里燃放鞭炮烟花……大人小孩们载歌载舞，忘情地玩个痛快！希望今天全国的小朋友在新的一年里快快乐乐，没有烦恼！

每年的春节，我们一家人都会去东平老家陪爷爷奶奶过，今年也不例外，可是不例外却意外了，每年大年初一这天爸爸妈妈都会带着我去各家拜年，可今年初一这天吃完早饭爸爸对我们说：“今年不让到处转着拜年啦，走吧，咱们回泰安!”于是我就莫明其妙的告别爷爷奶奶跟着家人从东平回到了泰安。 At the Spring Festival every year, our family will go to the hometown of Dongpings hometown to accompany grandparents.Mom and dad will take me to the New Years Eve, but after eating breakfast on the day of this year, Dad said to us, "This year, I wo n’t let the New Year everywhere, lets go, lets go back to Taian!" So I am so wonderfulFarewell to Grandpa and grandma returned to Taian from Dongping.

回来以后我从爸爸妈妈那里，还有电视上知道了我们国家的武汉发生了“冠状病毒疫情”，电视里面每天报道的确诊感染的人数越来越多，小区封了出不了门了，开学的时间到了开不了学啦;看着电视上全国人民给湖北捐钱捐物，医护人员一批接着一批的赶往武汉，在危难之际我们伟大的祖国人民却能够齐心协力、众志成城、同舟共济的一起渡过难关。

我只是一名普通的小学生，虽然不能像那些医生护士叔叔阿姨们一样奔赴武汉前线，但是我可以听从钟南山爷爷的建议，全家积极响应政府号召和小区物业规定，尽可能的不出门，不去公共场所，减少与人接触，并且做好防护措施，全家只有爸爸可以时隔几天出门采购生活用品，而且每次出门前我都会提醒爸爸戴好口罩，外出回到家，我会监督他使用洗手液和清水洗手，还时常提醒妈妈房间要经常开窗通风。听钟南山爷爷的话，我们每个人每个家庭做好自身的防护工作，防止病毒的蔓延，不给国家添乱，也是对战胜这场战役的一份贡献。

在这种疫情的非常时期，学校的老师们给我们开展了网上教学，为了不让我们落下课程各个学科的老师们都精心完成了备课带领我们在网上学习。班主任贾老师还在微信上召开了新颖的家长会和班会，了解我们在家里的学习和作息情况;并教导我们要每天坚持锻炼身体，学习生活要有规律，而且在这个特殊时期要保持好的心态，在家好好学习，静待春暖花开回归校园。

在我们全国人民团结一心、众志成城的共同努力下，现在的疫情已经得到了有效控制，离胜利的日子已经不远了，我坚信我们很快就会摘下口罩、走出家门、享受春风柔软、欣赏鲜花盛开，恢复到正常的生活秩序中去拥抱挫折。

今天是重阳节!一大早，我穿戴整齐，迫不及待地跑到爷爷奶奶房间：“爷爷奶奶，今天是重阳节，是你们的节日，我祝你们身体健康!”

“健康!健康……”奶奶笑得合不拢嘴!

“真是我的乖孙女!”爷爷把我搂进怀里。

“今天我们陪你们一起过节!老师说重阳节的习俗有登山赏风景、吃重阳糕、赏菊花……还有……还有……呵呵，我也忘了!要不，我们今天就一起去爬山看风景吧!”一想到玩我就乐坏了!

“好!好!不过，爬山看风景就你和爸爸妈妈去吧!你看，爷爷奶奶的脚这样，不方便!”爷爷无奈地说。

真是的，我只顾自己乐呵，怎么把这么重要的事情给忘了。爷爷年轻的时候是卖木材的，有一次，重重的木头把他的左腿给砸到了，从此就拄着拐杖走路了。奶奶几年前中过风，现在走起路来也是一瘸一瘸的。从我记事开始，他们从来没有出过远门呢!我抱着爷爷奶奶，既失望又心疼!

晚上，和爷爷奶奶共进晚餐之后。我进入了梦乡。

忽然，《七色花》里面的珍妮微笑着朝我走来：“一禾，我的七色花剩下最后一个花瓣，我把它送给你，帮助你实现心愿吧!”说完，她就走了。我小心翼翼地拿着最后一片紫色花瓣，心想：我要让爷爷奶奶的腿好起来，带他们看遍全世界!我满怀希望地撕下紫色花瓣用力扔出去，说：“飞吧，飞吧!让爷爷奶奶的腿健康起来吧……”就在那一刻，爷爷扔开了拐杖，把我高高举起，奶奶挺直了腰板跑向我!灿烂的阳光下，我们全家人一起跑啊，追啊，笑声在空中飘荡……

“成功的花，人们只惊慕它现时的明艳，谁知它当初的芽儿，却浸透了奋斗的泪泉，洒遍了牺牲的血雨!”——冰心。爱迪生在发明电灯以前，只是一个不知名的人，他决心用自己的智慧，为人类驱除黑暗，为了这项发明他几乎试遍了所有可能发光的材料。

有一次，他用烧黑的竹丝当做材料，在严密的操作中，终于使他可以持续点亮19个小时这短短的19个小时，却也经历了多少失败，可是这仍然不符合他的要求，他依然重新开始，总结失败中的经验，洒遍奋斗的汗水，终于造出了使世界向工业化迈进一大步的电灯。

爱迪生的成功告诉我们，成功的大屋，是有失败的砖瓦堆砌而成的，成功的高潮，是以失败作为序曲的，失败后只要我们冷静，沉着的看问题，像爱迪生那样把失败当做成功的垫脚石，把失败当做一首以牺牲和奋斗为号子写成的战歌。

面对失败，不要抱怨，把每一次失败都当做一次反思，把每一次失败都当做一次改变，改变方向，改变态度，改变方法。成功也就离我们不远了。有人说过:“如先改变自己，对方也会改变;对方有了改变,心境也会改变;态度也会改变;态度一有改变，习惯就会改变;习惯一有改变，运气就会改变;运气一有改变，人生随之改变!”所以，面对困难和失败，我们要做的必将是先改变自己的心态!

失败后不要气馁，保持一颗平静的心至关重要，我们要相信自己，只要努力定会成功;其次，我们要总结失败中的经验，找出症结所在并加以改正;最后我们要做的就是把每一次失败都当做一种历练。那么历尽失败，饱经沧桑而百折不挠的我们就会获得成功，我想:一个人如果做到这些，成功就近在咫尺;一个家庭如果做到这些，幸福就会荡漾心田;一个国家如果做到这些，世界也将为之颤动。

夏衍说过:“种子不落在肥土而落在瓦砾中，有生命力的种子绝不会悲观和叹气，因为有了阻力才有磨炼。”面对失败，让我们一起用汗水与奋斗谱写一首歌，一首催人奋进的战歌.

River Pollution

Chinese people are now face to a serious problem--pollution. And this problem is a little bit different from others--the goverment can not solve it by themselves. We need everyone to protect our environment. But we also know that it is very hard to call everyone to join us to protect the environment. But it seems that they have found the way to let everybody know it. In a report, Anhui Daily called on residents to help protect the river against pollution. I am so glad about it. And i believe that somewhere the pollution must stop.

河流污染

中国人现在面临着一个严重的问题污染。这个问题有点不同，政府不能自己解决。我们需要每个人来保护我们的环境。但我们也知道，很难叫大家加入我们保护环境。但似乎他们已经找到了让每个人都知道的方法。在一份报告中，安徽日报呼吁居民帮助保护河流免受污染。我很高兴。我相信某处的污染必须停止。

Last week, our school was holding the sport meeting, I felt so excited, because I took part in the 800 meter race. When I heard the shot voice, I started to run, at first, I kept the uniform space, I planned to run quickly in the last 200 meter. But I felt so tired, I wanted to give up, then my desire to win made me stick to the end. I am so proud of myself.

上周，我们学校举行了校运会，我感到很激动，因为我参加了800米竞跑。当我听到开跑声音的时候，我开始跑，刚开始，我保持匀速，我计划在最后200米快速跑。但是我感到很累，想要放弃，然后我的求胜欲望使我坚持到了最后。我为自己感到自豪。

We are always trying to find the way to success, which stands for power,

pride and glory. There have been strings of stories of success I was told since

I was a child. From then on, I have been fascinated with being successful.

Whatsuccess? Different people have different opinions towards this

question. To start with, some people, such as accountants, workers and so on,

are longing for being rich, which allows them buy what they want, and enjoy

luxury. They treat it as success. Furthermore, some contestants, such as boxers,

are always trying their best to defeat their rivals for success. And once they

win, they confirm that they are stronger than others. The last but not the

least, there are some other people who enjoy helping others. As a good saying

goes, the roses in her hand, the flavor in mine. With helping others, we can

also feel satisfactory.

As far as I am concerned, life is short, and we must achieve something

during our life. So I regard striving and working hard important. When comes to

we reap what we sow, it’s the time of success.

For most western countries, Christmas Day is the biggest festival, and all the people will have the long vacation, just as Spring Festival in China. With the development of globalization, Christmas Day is celebrated by people around the world. When the day comes, Christmas trees can be seen in many shops and some products have the great discounts.

One of the main reasons for people to love Christmas is that they can get the great discounts from some products, which saves them a lot of money. For American people, Christmas Day is the great moment for the families to get together and enjoy the family hour, while for some people they just treat it as the shopping day.

对大多数西方国家来说，圣诞节是最大的节日，所有的人都会有一个长假，就像中国的春节一样。随着全球化的发展，世界各地的人们都在庆祝圣诞节。当这一天到来的时候可以在许多商店看到圣诞树，有些商品还会打上很大的折扣。

人们喜欢圣诞节的一个主要原因是他们可以从一些产品中获得很大的折扣，为他们节省很多钱。对美国人来说，圣诞节是全家人聚在一起享受家庭时光的美好时刻，而对于一些人来说，圣诞节就是购物日。

The cartoon vividly reveals the phenomenon of air pollution or the decline of air quality. What exactly contribute to this phenomenon? Possible reasons can be listed as follows: firstly, vehicle exhaust gases could be one of the most leading causes. With the improvement of economy and peoples living standard, urban inhabitants in mounting numbers own their private cars. More automobiles will inevitably generate more exhaust gases. Additionally, household appliances widely used in cities also release a great mount of carbon dioxide gases, which further intensifies air pollution. Last but not least, many factories around the cities emit large quantities of untreated poisonous gases, which should also be responsible for the decline of air quality.

Definitely, air pollution will exert a detrimental impact on many aspects of peoples life. For example, many diseases such as cough, skin problem and lang cancer are caused by it. Perhaps it is high time that we should adopt some measures to solve the problem of air pollution.

参考译文：

此图生动地揭示了空气污染和空气质量下降的现象。到底是什么导致了这个现象?可能的理由罗列如下：首先，机动车的尾气排放是最主要的原因之一。随着经济的发展和人们生活水平的提高，越来越多的城市居民都拥有了自己的汽车，而更多地汽车势必带来大量的尾气排放。其次，城市里广泛使用的家用电器排放了大量的二氧化碳，这也进一步加剧了空气污染。最后，城市周边的很多的工厂，也每天向空气中排放大量的未经处理的有毒气体,这也导致了空气质量的下降。

碎片阅读的好处

Many people read on digital devices like cell phones and e-books. The fast pace of life leaves many people no time to sit and read a whole book, so making use of fragmented time to read is sure to be a trend. Fragmented reading has its advantages. People can get hold of large amounts of information, knowledge, and entertainment in a short time. Digital reading is faster and more interactive than traditional deep reading.

Fragmented reading makes it harder for people to reflect on what they read. People may not bother to remember facts because they know they can always just search for answers online. It is important to read quality books in a deeper way, even if that means forcing yourself to do so. We read not only for knowledge and for practical use, but also for spiritual satisfaction.

爱，在心中点燃

爱如暖阳，温暖心田。

爱在身边，为情无限。

——题记

潜意识里认为，冬天，如果心是凉的，穿再多的衣服也无济于事。

一直觉得爸爸不关心我。

每天接我上学、放学，从不多说一句话，对我，好像永远都有不满，不是怪我考试没考好，就是说我走路太慢。寒冷的日子，听着他的责备，就好像内心结了厚厚的冰似的。

前不久生了病，少不了听爸爸的怪罪：让你多穿点儿衣服，你还不听!如果一咳嗽，就更不得了了，他会和妈妈一起找药，看着我吃下去才安心。

那天回家，从冰箱拿出一盒牛奶，刚准备喝，他便一把夺过：“病还没好呢，就喝冰的，我去给你热了你再喝。”看着他转身走进厨房，只觉得内心涌起一股暖流。

喝着热过的牛奶，暖意涌上心间，一瞬间，我读懂了父亲的爱。

是谁在我半夜咳嗽厉害时托起睡意正浓的我的头，把药送入我口中?是谁在我生日那天，吹了一堆的气球布置家?是谁风里来雨里去，载我回到温暖的家?是爸爸，一直是我误会了他，他是关心我的，只是不善于用语言来表达罢了。他的责备，是他的关爱，是为了让我更加出色。可惜，年少的我不善于从现象看本质，被表面所迷惑，忽视了爸爸爱我的心。这暖暖的爱，已然在我心中点燃，融化了那因为无知而结下的坚冰。

亲爱的爸爸，谢谢你告诉了我什么是无言的爱，让我发现，我一直生活在爱中。这个冬天，好冷，庆幸，还有一份爱，在我心中点燃。心若暖，晴空万里。

爱如火焰，融化冰雪。

爱在身边，暖意连绵。

五柳先生有一学习习惯是“好读书，不求甚解，每有会意，便欣然忘食”，这句话可翻译为：喜欢读书，不在字句翻译上下过功夫。每当领会到其中独特的意思，便高兴的忘了吃饭。

而我对他这种“不求甚解”的精神不大赞同，学习知识本应是把每一处地方都弄透彻、明白，才能很好的运用。若放弃基础一味的追求深层的意思，不但意思领略不到。还会把一些概念弄混。

但五柳先生是一位在学习上很有成就的人，他一定有他可取之处。那么是否文中的“不求甚解”是对于达到一定成度的人来说的?是否在不同学习阶段要有不同方法?是否应该针对自己来选择学习方法?

我的习惯(My Habbits)

I have many bad habits, but there is one always makes me upset. I like nodding off in class. Nearly everyone will have this bad habit in summer. But I will nod off in every class and every season. Usually, I will nod off when the class begins about ten minutes. I hate this. I have tried my best to correct it. But I failed in the end. This habit troubles me lot.

生命的长河在缓缓流淌的时候，成长的脚步不会停下。于是，许多东西伴随着成长而来。

责任

人生来就必须承担责任

陶行知说：“先生不应该专教书，他的责任

挫折

我们都知道，人生不会一帆风顺。

回忆往昔，遇到的挫折

就是这样的，当我们去抱怨又一次考差了时，不妨想想考试前干什么去了，如果你在考试前都没有好好准备的话，该埋怨谁呢?世上没有卖后悔药的，遇到了挫折

成长就是在一次次的挫折

信念

“天行健，君子以自强不息”这是一种信念

俱往矣，五柳先生为了保持自己高洁的志趣，放弃了荣华富贵，过上了避世退隐的田园生活，他没有信念

承担责任

halloween has always been a holiday filled with mystery, magic and superstition. it began as a celtic end-of-summer festival during which people felt especially close to deceased relatives and friends. for these friendly spirits, they set places at the dinner table, left treats on doorsteps and along the side of the road and lit candles to help loved ones find their way back to the spirit world.

todays halloween ghosts are often depicted as more fearsome and malevolent, and our customs and superstitions are scarier too. we avoid crossing paths with black cats, afraid that they might bring us bad luck. this idea has its roots in the middle ages, when many people believed that witches avoided detection by turning themselves into cats. we try not to walk under ladders for the same reason. this superstition may have come from the ancient egyptians, who believed that triangles were sacred; it also may have something to do with the fact that walking under a leaning ladder tends to be fairly unsafe. and around halloween, especially, we try to avoid breaking mirrors, stepping on cracks in the road or spilling salt.

but what about the halloween traditions and beliefs that todays trick-or-treaters have forgotten all about? many of these obsolete rituals focused on the future instead of the past and the living instead of the dead. in particular, many had to do with helping young women identify their future husbands and reassuring them that they would someday--with luck, by next halloween!--be married.

in 18th-century ireland, a matchmaking cook might bury a ring in her mashed potatoes on halloween night, hoping to bring true love to the diner who found it. in scotland, fortune-tellers recommended that an eligible young woman name a hazelnut for each of her suitors and then toss the nuts into the fireplace. the nut that burned to ashes rather than popping or exploding, the story went, represented the girls future husband. (in some versions of this legend, confusingly, the opposite was true: the nut that burned away symbolized a love that would not last.) another tale had it that if a young woman ate a sugary concoction made out of walnuts, hazelnuts and nutmeg before bed on halloween night, she would dream about her future husband. young women tossed apple-peels over their shoulders, hoping that the peels would fall on the floor in the shape of their future husbands initials; tried to learn about their futures by peering at egg yolks floating in a bowl of water; and stood in front of mirrors in darkened rooms, holding candles and looking over their shoulders for their husbands faces.

other rituals were more competitive. at some halloween parties, the first guest to find a burr on a chestnut-hunt would be the first to marry; at others, the first successful apple-bobber would be the first down the aisle.

of course, whether were asking for romantic advice or trying to avoid seven years of bad luck, each one of these halloween superstitions relies on the good will of the very same "spirits" whose presence the early celts felt so keenly. ours is not such a different holiday after all!

孔乙己喝了半碗酒，离开了咸亨酒店。慢慢地用两手在地上挪着，两眼不敢向旁边斜视。几个顽童跟着他，一边跑一边叫着，孔乙己只是低着头毫不理睬。过了一阵，顽童们便觉得无聊，便各自散开了。

一阵寒风吹来，树上的黄叶纷纷往下落，整个鲁镇显得格外寂静，只听见孔乙己身下的蒲包在地下摩擦的刷刷声。偶尔有一两个行人从孔乙己的身旁走过，瞧也没瞧他一眼。

孔乙己漫无目的地挪着，不知不觉出了鲁镇，路上铺着一层厚厚的灰土。只见他的脚刚落到地上，“扑”的一声便尘土飞扬。他的眼睛被迷住了，满脸灰突突的，但他不回头，就这样一直走下去……

傍晚的时候，孔乙己一蹭到了一座小山冈上，蒙蒙胧胧的望见了不远处有座村庄。此时的他早已筋皮力尽了，挪不动半步了。凛冽的寒风迎面吹来，枯黄的树叶在风中摇曳，不时传来一阵阵乌鸦的“呱，呱”的叫声，孔乙己浑身一颤，抬头呆呆地望着灰冷的天空，一种说不出来的感觉涌上心头。

他向四周看看，发现前面有间小草房，两边的土墙歪歪斜斜，屋顶上的茅草经风一吹，横七竖八的飘落着，孔乙己拼命挣扎过去，推开虚掩着的门，挤了进去，他想暂时在里头避避风，可以稍稍休息一下。借着门缝透出的一丝微弱的亮光，屋里阴暗潮湿，墙角堆着一些稻草，除了这些什么也没有了。孔乙己把散落的稻草收拾了一下，铺在地上躺在上面，两眼紧闭，此时的他肚子早已饿得“咕咕”直叫，连睁开眼的力气也没有了，全身像散了架似的，大概由于太累了的缘故吧，不一会，他就迷迷湖糊糊地睡着了。

只见他的眼前忽然金光一闪，身子也慢慢地浮了起来，飘出了小草房，落在一座小花园中，一身华贵的状元服，头戴官帽，脚穿官靴，好不气派。他满面春光，一只手捋着梳得很整齐的胡须，踱着小八步，在府中踱来踱去，时不时露出一丝微笑。

恍惚中孔乙己坐着官轿回到了鲁镇，又来到了咸亨酒店。他背着两手，踱着小步，用两眼扫视了一下掌柜的。掌柜的一眼就认出了孔乙己，连忙跑出来，惶恐地弯下腰说道：“给大爷请安，大爷赏光，进屋坐坐。”孔乙己没搭话，昂着头，双手倒背，漫漫地踱了进去，后面的随从紧跟着。掌柜的快步过来，掀开里间的门帘，让孔大人进去。

孔乙己一座定，掌柜的连忙亲自用抹布把桌子擦了又擦，然后双手捧着菜单递到孔乙己的面前，孔乙己捋着胡须，看了半晌，慢慢地点了几道菜，又慢条斯理的说“就这些，再给我那些随从们弄些酒菜，一块算帐，连同上次欠的十九个钱一块结了。”掌柜的笑着说;“孔大人，您说哪里去了，您能到小店坐坐，是您看得起，以后还得多多关照。”只见掌柜的边说，一边拿着酒给孔乙己斟满，而孔乙己只是笑笑，伸出两指，端起酒杯放在嘴边抿了抿，脸上露出得意的笑容……

一阵狂风吹过，那扇破门被吹开了，屋顶上的草慢慢飞了起来。孔乙己全身哆嗦了一下，醒来一看，原来是一场梦。他连忙用双手爬了过去，使尽全身力气想要把门关上，突然哗的一声巨响，小屋连顶带墙塌了下来。孔乙己连哼也没哼一声，就被埋在底下。

一阵寒风吹来，只见光秃秃的树上几只乌鸦呆呆地站在上面，鲁镇显得寂静极了……

the doctor because of the smog. People have realized the great harm caused by the smog and the importance of protecting the environment.The government suggests people to go to work or school with the public traffic, such as the bus and the underground.

Would you like to tell me some good ideasI’m looking forward to your reply.

Yours,

Li Lin

How to learn English well

English is important and useful to us. How can we learn it wellHere are my suggestions。

First, we should often listen to the tapes, English songs and programs. Watching English movies is also helpful to us. Second, we should speak English in class as much as possible. Don’t be afraid of making mistakes. The more you speak, the fewer mistakes you’ll make. Wed better join the English club and practice with others.

In a word, as long as we do more listening, speaking, reading and writing, we will learn English well。

6.目前，越来越多的中学生利用周末上各种各样的培训班或请家教。对于这一现象，存在两种不同观点：

请根据以上提示，以“Is a training class or a tutor necessary”为题，写一篇短文阐述自己的观点。

要求：1. 包括所有提示内容，可适当发挥。

2. 信中不要涉及真实的人名和校名及其它相关信息, 否则不予评分。

3. 词数：不少于60词，开头已给出，不计入总词数。

More and more middle school students are going to all kinds of training class or getting a tutor at the weekend. There are two different opinions about it.

Some think it is necessary. First, they can learn better with the help of the teachers than by themselves. Second, they can strengthen what they learn in class. Third, they can get more useful things in those classes.

However, other people insist that it is not necessary. For one thing, students will not listen carefully in their normal classes if they can get the same knowledge in training classes. For another thing, most senior

students haven’t enough time to rest. What’s worse, the purpose of most of the training classes and family teachers is to earn money.

In my opinion, a training class or family teacher is not necessary. We can study well at school if we work hard. (In my opinion, whether a training class or family teacher is needed just depends. If you are really very weak at or interested in a certain subject, maybe it’s OK for you. But be sure to choose a good and suitable class or teacher, otherwise it would be a waste of time and money.)

Less Pressure, Better Life

Hello, boys and girls!

Pressure is a serious problem in today’s world. Students in our class are under too much pressure. Some students can’t get on well with their classmates, while others may worry about their exams。

I’m always under pressure, too. My parents want me to be the top student in class. So they send me to all kinds of after-classes at weekends. Last Monday evening, I had a talk with my mother. I told her I was not lazy. I really felt tired. I needed time to relax. My mother agreed with me at last. So I think a conversation with parents is necessary to solve the problem。

That’s all. Thank you!

★ 范文 As we know, water is very important to man, we can’t live without water. The amount of water which is suitable to drink is less and less. But some people don’t care

We couldnt believe that it was a village. The buildings for the farmers were very beautiful, the streets were very clean and there were many flowers in front of the houses. In the middle of the village there was a school with a wonderful building and a large playground. All the children in the village study there.

The farmers got richer by planting vegetables and raising silkworms. In their houses there were colour TV sets, fridges,washing machines, new furniture and even motorbikes. All these showed the farmers life was getting better and better.

The great changes had attracted foreigners. Today some of them would come to visit it. We were happy for the farmers. We hope the farmers will be richer and happier.

Great changes taken place in my hometown.A few year ago，there were few buildings which were shabby and bare with grassland covered its walls. Nowhere could people go for relaxing since amusement places were exceedingly rare.

But now, with the development of the current booming economy, as well as the common reserve fund loan deducted interest policy, those low income staff in my hometown are enjoying enormous benefits .And you can see that tall buildings and shopping malls standing here and there, which not only bring great convenience to peoples lives, but also add colors to our dull routine of lives.

I love my hometown, for its prosperity and harmony.

在我的家乡发生了巨大的变化。几年前,几乎没有建筑的破旧和光秃秃的草地覆盖的墙壁。没有人可以放松因为娱乐场所是极其罕见的。

但是现在,随着当前蓬勃发展的经济的发展,以及公积金贷款利息扣除政策,这些低收入员工在我的家乡享受巨大的好处。你可以看到高楼和购物中心站在这里和那里,这不仅给人们的生活带来巨大的便利,但也将颜色添加到我们的平淡单一的生活。

我爱我的家乡,为它的繁荣与和谐。

When it comes to honesty, quite a lot of people believe it is essential to a person’s character and success.

They base their idea on the following reasons: on one hand, successful business owes much to mutual trust; on another hand, great people in history such as Abraham Lincoln and Genete Washington set us good examples of being honest, they are great because they are honest.

But some people think differently. They believe honesty is becoming out of date.

Their reasons run as following: to begin with, cheating on exams is becoming more and more popular; in addition, some singers and movie stars cheat on taxes; last but not the least, if you are not careful enough, you’ll buy some defective goods and fake products.

It is high time we emphasized and encouraged honesty. We can take effective measures to restore it.

For example, kids should be taught to tell truth, strict rules and regulations should be carried out to stop cheatings on exams and taxes, etc.
