时间一点一点的消逝,每一分钟,都有着不少灾区人民因抢救官兵与医生的资源不够,而面临着死亡的危险。在网上,最新的消息和图片以及视频不断传来,而其中一则视频,更让我难以忘怀:视频的第一画面,是一座已经坍塌的楼房,这个地方曾经是一座美丽的校园。在坍塌的瓦砾堆中,一张稚嫩的小脸出现在眼前。那是一个一二年级左右的小女孩。经过了一天的掩埋,小女孩的脸由于过度饥饿和缺氧,原本红润的小脸已经变成了黑黄黑黄了。在她的脸上,依稀可以看见哭过的泪痕,还有那淡淡的绝望。小女孩的嘴巴还在一张一合,可是在视频中却听不到她的声音,想来小女孩在被废墟掩埋时曾经哭喊、求救,嗓子已经变哑了。看到这个小女孩,我心中很是感慨。四川的大地震,导致数以万计的人民围困在废墟中。他们和这位小女孩一样,在瓦砾堆之中无法自救,如果官兵不及时抢救他们,这些人民的生命将岌岌可危,受到死神的压迫。这时,只听一阵大喊:“这里有人!”一群官兵奔跑而来,激动地实施抢救工作。小女孩的脸上顿时充满了喜悦,大声叫着:“快来救我!”一位官兵低下头,对小女孩说道:“小妹妹,我们正在救你。你不要讲话,好好待着,耐心等我们!”小女孩听话地不讲话了,眼巴巴地看着官兵们。由于小女孩在废墟的里层,如果动用一些抢救的机器,可能会使废墟再度坍塌,危机小女孩的生命。不能动用机器,官兵们就围成一个圈,趴下来用手来刨着瓦砾。此时已是凌晨一点,这些官兵们已抢救了多个坍塌地点,早已累的不行了。可是,只要自己松懈一秒,那么困在废墟下的人民就有可能面临死亡的危险!为了受灾人民,自己苦点、累点,根本不算什么。官兵们就是秉着“早进一秒就可能多救一人”的信念,不间断地抢救着受灾人民。这时,小女孩周围的瓦砾终于被官兵们清理完了,小女孩成功地被解救了出来。
四川7.8级地震惊动了世界,灾区人民的命运也牵动着13亿中国人的心。四川汶川地震发生后,中国地震局已启动一级预案。由中国地震局12人、某部工兵团150人和武警总医院22人组成的国家地震灾害紧急救援队陆续奔赴汶川灾区,负责搜索、营救和医疗救护任务。中国空军今天派出二十二架军用运输机,向四川地震灾区空运六千多名空降兵和四台指挥车,执行绵竹、安县、北川地区的抗震救灾任务。民政部也紧急调拨25000顶救灾帐篷支援四川灾区,其他救灾物资正在调集运输中。而社会各界人士、中国多家企业公司、中国红十字会,也在援助四川。
面对灾难,团结就是力量。当13亿中国人肩并肩,手挽手,心连心的时候,任何困难都是暂时的,任何灾难都是可以战胜的!

At the center of this festival are the dragon boat races. Competing teams drive their colorful dragon boats forward to the rhythm of beating drums. These exciting races were inspired by the villagers valiant attempts to rescue Chu Yuan from the Mi Luo river. This tradition has remained unbroken for centuries.
Tzung Tzu
A very popular dish during the Dragon Boat festival is tzung tzu. This tasty dish consists of rice dumplings with meat, peanut, egg yolk, or other fillings wrapped in bamboo leaves. The tradition of tzung tzu is meant to remind us of the village fishermen scattering rice across the water of the Mi Luo river in order to appease the river dragons so that they would not devour Chu Yuan.

The time of year of the Dragon Boat Festival, the fifth lunar moon, has more significance than just the story of Qu Yuan.

Families will hang various herbs, called Ay Tsao, on their door for protection. The drinking of realgar wine is thought to remove poisons from the body. Hsiang Bao are also worn.

making money leading to the result that they use whatever will make the food
look good or taste better without considering the bad consequences. This is not
normal because people just cannot live without eating anything.
So we should take all the measures necessary to forbid the food producers

government should have more control over these producers. Only when people are
no longer worried about whether their food is safe or not can they enjoy a
better life.

the sleigh-bells, beating as swift and merrily as the hearts of children.
