John is the most diligent student in our class. He is one of my friends. As a matter of fact, he gets along with his classmates. He might spend just five to ten minutes talking to you once in a long while, but he talks with enthusiasm and energy, and he likes to share his thinking and ideas with you. He is honest; he does not like to waste his time and energy. He never appears sleepy and tired in the classroom.

Friend plays important role in our lives. Everyone needs his or her own

friends. Some people make friends easily but some do not. And “friend” means

differently to people. Some people think friends should stay together all the

time, but some others think that share and support is the real meaning of

friend. From my point of view, friend is the person who will always be with you

no matter what happens. It’s the person who can share your happiness as well as

sorrows.

I miss you very much, Mum.

I have left you for four days. Maybe it is really a short time. But I feel it is too long. I found that I couldn’t do a lot of things without you. For example, I couldn’t wash my clothes clean. It is too hard for me. I felt it is too troublesome and toilsome, but I’m sixteen years old now. I must be independent. So, Mum, I don’t know what’s what and I’m very stubborn. Sometimes, I disobeied your desire, which made you very angry. Now, I regret it. When I see some white hair in your head, I felt very sad. You are not young nay more. Sometimes you look very haggard. I know that’s because you give too much. You always concerned with my school record, healthy and a lot of other things. My school record always made you very sad. That’s my falt. I’m sorry.

Mum, you are too labbrious. You must have a good rest. I come of my ago now. I will correct my mistakes. You can rest assured!

Mum, I wish you good health and happy. I love you! Mum!(www.kuaidu.com.cn)

As time goes by, people are being busier and busier with working, such as

signing their contracts, meeting their customers, drawing up the balance sheets

of their companies and so on. In this circumstance, people forget our most

excellent skill--smile.

随着时间的推移，人们在工作上越来越忙，如签订合同，见客户，制定企业资产负债表等。在这种情况下，人们忘记了我们最优秀的技能——微笑。

There are a great many kinds of power of smile. First of all, common touch

can be showed by a kind smile. Imagine that you go to a company to attend an

audition. With a confident smile, you are more likely to answer the question

better. Furthermore, smile can eliminate angry. As a philosopher said, smile

before you begin to get angry. The last but not the least, it reflects calm of a

person when he is in danger or in trouble.

微笑的力量很多。首先，微笑可以作为平易近人的一种表现。想象一下，你去一个公司参加面试。带着自信的微笑，你有可能会更好地回答问题。此外，微笑可以消除愤怒。一个哲学家说过，在你开始生气之前微笑。最后但并非最不重要的，当一个人处于危险或者麻烦的时候，微笑反映了一个人的镇定。

The beneficial aspects cannot be stated completely in this passage. But you

can understand its power when you smile.

微笑的好处在这里是无法一一列举的。但是，在你微笑的时候你可以理解它的力量。

——题记

我的家庭生活丰富多彩，像一个万花筒，充满了无穷的乐趣。

清晨，太阳公公微微地露出脸来，调皮的阳光在我的书桌上跳来跳去。“吃早点了，吃早点了!”妈妈大声说道。我一下睁开眼睛，一骨碌地坐起来，快速地穿好衣服，来到客厅里，我看见妈妈正在坐在沙发上。我跑过去问妈妈：“妈妈，早点呢?”妈妈看着我，得意地说：“这是我用来骗你们起床的话，你还真信了。”我刚要说话，爸爸下来说道：“怎么了，一大早就起来嚷嚷?”妈妈站起来，严肃地说道：“既然人到齐了，就说正事吧。今天我要加班，可是衣服还有一大堆，就交给你们了，好好洗，不要让我失望。再见!”

妈妈走后，我说：“爸爸，我作业还没有做完，恐怕不能跟你一起洗了!”爸爸无情地说：“不行，而且你作业早就做完了，对吧?”我一下子被击败了，只好跟着爸爸去洗衣间去洗衣服。来到洗衣间，我顿时目瞪口呆，这么多的衣服，这个是要咋整啊?!我看向爸爸，爸爸耸了耸肩，摊了摊手。

我们先在洗衣机里放一些水和洗衣粉，再把脏衣服放进去，把开关转到洗涤模式，洗衣机就开始洗衣服了。它就像一双手，不停歇地搓洗衣服。过了一会儿，洗衣粉犹如一个魔术师，褪去“旧颜”，换上新貌，穿上了美丽的“泡泡裙”。这些泡泡看起来又漂亮又好玩，于是，我就用手捧起它们，往天上洒，边洒还边说：“下‘泡泡雨’咯!”当我再去捧它们时，它们已经不见了，我转身一看，泡泡们全都在地上，它们逃跑了，本来想跑过去抓住它们，爸爸却叫住我说：“女儿，别玩了，快点来帮我!”我遗憾地跑过去，心里还在想那些泡泡。

最后就是晾衣服了，爸爸挑衅地说：“女儿，敢不敢跟爸爸来一场比赛，比谁晾的衣服多，好不好?”我自信满满地说道：“比就比，谁怕谁啊!”经过一番“斗争”后，因为我的身高不够，晾的比较慢，所以最后是爸爸赢了。妈妈回来后，看见我们洗的衣服，特别欣慰。这就是我跟爸爸努力的结果。

你瞧，我家这丰富多彩的生活像不像个万花筒?

雨后，一只蜘蛛艰难地向墙上已经支离破碎的网爬去，由于墙壁潮湿，它爬到一定的高度，就会掉下来，它一次次地向上爬，一次次地又掉下来……第一个人看到了，他叹了一口气，自言自语：“我的一生不正如这只蜘蛛吗?忙忙碌碌而无所得。”于是，他日渐消沉。第二个人看到了，他说：这只蜘蛛真愚蠢，为什么不从旁边干燥的地方绕一下爬上去?我以后可不能像它那样愚蠢。于是，他变得聪明起来。第三个人看到了，他立刻被蜘蛛屡败屡战的精神感动了。于是，他变得坚强起来。

某人在屋檐下躲雨，看见观音正撑伞走过。这人说：“观音菩萨，普度一下众生吧，带我一段如何?”观音说：“我在雨里，你在檐下，而檐下无雨，你不需要我度。”这人立刻跳出檐下，站在雨中：“现在我也在雨中了，该度我了吧?”观音说：“你在雨中，我也在雨中，我不被淋，因为有伞;你被雨淋，因为无伞。所以不是我度自己，而是伞度我。你要想度，不必找我，请自找伞去!”说完便走了。第二天，这人遇到了难事，便去寺庙里求观音。走进庙里，才发现观音的像前也有一个人在拜，那个人长得和观音一模一样，丝毫不差。这人问：“你是观音吗?”那人答道：“我正是观音。”这人又问：“那你为何还拜自己?”观音笑道：“我也遇到了难事，但我知道，求人不如求己。”

Ji Anlived at the time of Emperor Wudi of the Western Han Dynasty (206 B.C.-A.D.24). He was respected for being upright and just and for daring to speak the truth. He did not bother about amall matters in personal behaviour and in being an official. He was particular about actual effects and ,although he did not cause a stir ,he could keep the prefecture he governed in perfect order. Because of this. the imperial court transferred him to the central government from being the perfect of the Donghai Prefecture to being a commander in charge of the appointment and dismissal of the local officals.

Once,Emperor Wudi said that he would implement the policy of benevolence and justice of Confucianism and would do good turns to the people.Emperor Wudi Had hardly finished his remards when Ji An said that there was no need for the emperor to say so.Why should the emperor bother,Ji An said, about pretending to implement the policy of benevolence and justice since he was so greedy and avaricious within himself? This choked the emperor off. The emperor suddenly Changed his countenance and declared the meeting over. All the civilian and military officers at court were breathless with anxiety for fear that Ji An might bring disaster upon himself because of this. After returning, Emperor Wudi said to the people around him that Ji An was a little too rude and too straightforward.

For this reason ,Ji An was never promoted again. When he was the commander in charge of the appointment and dismissal of the local officials, both Gongsun Hong and Zhang Tang were low -ranking lfficials of little importance. Later ,they were promoted continuously. Gongsun Hong became the prime minister and Zhang Tang became the imperial censor. However, JiAns post remained thesame. One day, Ji An said to Emperor Wudi that the way the emperor used his ministers was just like piling up firewood, which meant that the latecomers surpassed the old-timers. Of course, Emperor Wudi could see that Ji An was complaining. So,turning to his ministers, Emperor Wudi said, "It is true that no one can stop learning.You see, Ji An is making more and more indiscreet remarks."

This story comes from The Historical Records. Later generations use the set phrase "the latecomers surpass the old-timers " to indicate that successors can cxcel the predecessors, which is quite different from the original idea when Ji An said that the latecomers surpassed the old-timers.

汲黯是西汉武帝时代人，以刚直正义、敢讲真话而受人尊重。他为人和做官都不拘小节，讲求实效。虽然表面上不那么轰轰烈烈，却能把一个郡治理得井井有条，因此，朝廷把他从东海太守调到朝廷当主爵都尉——一种主管地方吏任免的官职。

有一次，汉武帝说要实行儒家的仁义之政，为老百姓办好事了。没等皇帝把话说完，汲黯就说：“陛下内心里那么贪婪多欲，表面上却要装得实行仁政，这是何苦呢？”一句话把皇帝噎了回去。汉武帝登时脸色大变，宣布罢朝，满朝文武都为汲黯捏着一把汗，担心他会因此招来大祸。武帝回到宫里以后，对身边的人说，汲黯这个人也未免太粗太直了。

从此以后，汲黯的官职再也没有提升。他当主爵都尉的时候，公孙弘、张汤都还是不起眼的小官，后来，他们一个劲儿住上升，公孙弘当上了丞相，张汤做上了御史大夫，可他汲黯还蹲在原地没动窝。有一天，汲黯对武帝说，陛下使用群臣，跟码劈柴一样，是“后来者居上”啊！汉武帝当然听得出这是发牢骚。于是，转脸对臣下们说：“人真是不能不学习啊！你们听汲黯说话，越来越离谱了！”

故事出自《史记汲郑列传》。成语“后来居上”，往往指后起的可以胜过先前的。和汲黯说这话的原意，大不相同。
