汉族又名华夏族，是中国的主体民族，为上古时期黄帝部落和炎帝部落的后裔，即炎黄子孙。汉族还是一个在历史上从未中断过的、悠久的民族，也是世界上人口最多的民族。

据先秦文献的记载与夏、商、周立都范围，汉族的远古先民大体以西起陇山、东至泰山的黄河中、下游为活动地区;主要分布在这一地区的仰韶文化和龙山文化这两个类型的新石器文化，为汉族远古先民的文化遗存。这两个文明为华夏文明圈的代表。

汉族的祖先黄帝和炎帝在中原为争夺部落联盟首领而爆发了阪泉之战，炎帝部落战败，并入黄帝部落，炎黄联盟初具雏形。后来他们在涿鹿之战中打败了东夷集团的九黎族首领蚩尤，把联盟势力扩大至今日的山东境内。后又以炎帝部落和黄帝部落为主体，与山东境内的部分东夷部落组成了更庞大的华夏部落联盟，华夏族源基本固定。公元前2100～前770年黄河中下游黄帝集团的后裔先后建立了夏朝、商朝、周朝。

前221年，秦统一中国，华夏族又从分裂走向统一。汉族先秦时期自称华夏，从汉朝开始又逐渐出现“汉”的自称。因此，华夏族有了另一个名字：汉。但原先的称谓“华夏”并没有消失，而是与“汉”这个称谓一起使用至今。

根据复旦大学的基因研究对照历史迁移记录，汉民族的扩张主因是历史上的由北往南的人口移动。在晋朝以前汉族主要分布于中国北方，随后因永嘉之乱等因素大举向南迁徙，南迁汉族则和与汉族基因及语言相异的中国南方原住民混居。这历史上由北往南的大规模移动也改变了南北人口分布密度。

抬头望黑暗，夜幕中星光璀璨，我们可以梦想着牛郎织女在鹊桥相会，可以梦想着星海遨游，可以梦想着“危楼高百尺，手可摘星辰”。但俯首，我们要脚踏实地，一步一个脚印，走出属于自己的无悔年华。

我们都只敬佩那些伟大的人，赞叹他们的功绩，尊敬他们的成就，却很少有人窥探他们在背后所付出的努力与艰辛。他们也是普通人，但他们被人尊敬是源于他们的努力和脚踏实地。

拿破仑从小就梦想着解救人民于水深火热之中，所以他在十岁那年就进入军营。白天苦练武功，晚上挑灯夜读，他每天晚上不到十二点都不会熄灯。正因他的脚踏实地，努力勤奋，才有了他“战神”的美称，也有了他带领法国横扫欧洲的功绩，也有了他的名垂青史，流芳百世。

一个人，当他不再迷恋浩瀚星海时，当他放弃不切实际的空想时，当他愿意为了自己而脚踏实地时，又有什么做不到的呢?越王勾践被拘于马厩之时，一代帝王的尊严便已低入尘埃。但他并没有陶醉在往日的辉煌中，也没有沉沦于战败的耻辱中，他忍辱负重，卧薪尝胆，他真正诠释了什么才是真正的帝王之风。如果没有他脚踏实地的努力与辛勤，又何谈“三千越甲可吞吴”呢?

我们可以确定自己的理想，理想就是人生的方向，就是前进的动力。但光有理想却并不行，我们不应该把精力放在理想的空想中，我们更应该付诸于自己的实际行动中，既要仰望星空，又要脚踏实地。

在漫长的人生中，我们会遇见许多个分岔路，但无论是选择走哪一条路，我们也都应该脚踏实地，一步一个脚印。即使这条路再长，一步一步也能走完，即使这条路荆棘丛生，一点一点的走也无惧苦难。也许最后，结果不尽人意，但至少我们做到了最好。

星空和大地在语文上来看，可以勉强算作一对反义词吧。但相比较大地，人们似乎更加欣赏和向往澄澈明净的天空，但较之于天空的飘渺，我更喜爱能让我脚踏实地的大地。

头顶星空，脚踏实地，沐浴星光，身披希望，共书无悔年华，共圆少年之理想!

一看作文题，我便不假思索地想起了央视新闻《大国工匠》节目中那个錾刻师傅，他在普通而平凡的岗位上，利用自己的一技之长，创造了别人认为不可能的可能，我们为他的执着追求、技艺精湛、爱岗敬业精神而喝彩!

錾刻者是北京某集团的一名工艺师，他用纯银精雕细琢錾刻的“和美”纯银丝巾，在去年北京的一次国际峰会上，作为国礼赠送给峰会的国家领导人和夫人，“和美”纯银丝巾得到外国友人的青睐，在一片赞美声中，中国的錾刻工艺，名声大震，促进了中国和其他国家的文化交流。

錾刻是我国一项历史悠久的传统工艺，它使用的工具叫錾子，上面有圆形、细纹、半月形等不同形状的花纹，工匠敲击錾子，就会在金、银、铜上錾刻出千变万化的浮雕图案。

有人问錾刻者，像丝巾这样精美的工艺品，他是怎样做出来的?

錾刻者说，为了分别作出果盘的粗糙感和丝巾的光感，他反复琢磨、试验，亲手制作了几十把錾子，最小的一把在放大镜下做了好几天。

錾刻者说，开好錾子仅仅完成了制作国礼的第一步，最难的是，在这个厚度只有零点几毫米的银片上，有无数条细密的经纬线相互交错，在光的折射下才能形成图案，而这需要进行上百万次的錾刻敲击。

錾刻者说，下手时必须稳、准、狠，要特别精细，全神贯注，更不能錾透了。上百万次錾刻，只要有一次失误，就前功尽弃。

追求极致是錾刻者给自己提的标准，为了做出支撑果盘的中国结，他的右手曾经起了厚厚一层茧子。

有人问，用手工编织中国结那么辛苦，为什么不用机械铸造呢?

錾刻者说，他们是设想过用机械铸造出来，再焊接到果盘上。但是，铸造出来的银丝上有砂眼，尽管极其微小，但他心里却怎么也过不去。在他心目中，没有瑕疵，并且是纯手工，这才配得上做国礼。

听了錾刻者的这些话，我心里由衷的感动，对錾刻者辛勤劳动、诚实劳动和创造性劳动的崇高品质和伟大精神致以崇高的敬意!

但想到当今社会中“劳动信仰”缺失，劳动观念淡薄，好逸恶劳、投机取巧、坑蒙拐骗、不惜泯灭人性侵占别人劳动成果的丑恶现象，心里感到无尽的愤怒和忧虑。

唉!什么时候，錾刻者的品质和精神才能广泛被人们效仿呢?

“我的未来不是梦，我认真思考每一分钟，我的未来不是梦，我的心跟着希望在动……”每当我听起这首歌，总会引发我无限的思考——我的未来在那里?我的路又在哪里?在无数次的迷惘中，我，好像寻找到了答案。

未来，是属于自己的，未来的路，也是属于自己的，是靠自己勤劳的双手创造出来的。世上没有两片同样的树叶，更没有两个完全相同的人，即使是双胞胎，他们之间也存在着差异。所以，不同的人，有着不一样的未来。

两个年龄相仿的年轻人，一个家境贫困，但从小刻苦努力学习，考上了一所不错的大学，后来被一家高等公司任聘为了一名主管，过上了安逸幸福的生活;而另一个，从小家境富裕，父母溺爱，致使了他觉得生活没有了任何压力，所以，长大后无所事事。当他的父母去世后，他一个人无法操持这庞大的家业，最后因为经营不当，家业败光。他每天一个人在街上游荡，总是埋怨着自己的生活为什么如此贫苦。但他也不曾总结，为什么自己会落到如此地步。这个故事也启示着我们：未来是靠自己努力得到的，不要贪恋现在生活的舒适，而要从现在努力，为以后开拓出一条宽敞而明亮的大道。

世上本没有路，但走的人多了，路也就自然形成了。未来的路没有人帮你修建，即使有人帮你铺路，当你走上这条路时，你也会觉得毫无意义。所以，这条梦想的大道，就需要我们一步一个脚印，踏踏实实的去修。如果稍有偷工减料，这条路就会不坚固。当狂风暴雨或者是地震袭来时，它就会出现裂缝。

未来的路，不可能是平坦的，笔直的。它总是弯弯曲曲，凹凸不平的。也正因为这样，在我们行走的过程中，免不了跌跌撞撞，碰得头破血流;或许也因为这条路太难行走了，有的人就半途而废。但是，意志顽强的人还在继续向前。即使他们看不见前面还会有什么艰难险阻，但他们依旧摸索着，前进着。终有一日，他们的努力没有白费，他们成功了。他们成就了一番不平凡的事业，走上了自己人生的颠峰。而那些半途而废的人，却过着平凡庸俗的生活。

我的未来我的路，这条需要我自己运输材料，自己修建的路。也同时让我明白了一些道理：人生的未来，是在黑暗中摸索着前进，永远不会知道接下来会发生什么。同时，这条路又是崎岖的，它像心电图一样，在行走的过程中，永远不可能一帆风顺，总会遇到一些困难，一些挫折。但只要我们持之以恒，坚持不懈，终究会柳暗花明!

When my teacher told me to prepare for this competition I restated, hesitated.Everybody in my class knows that. I never learned English in my primary school.I couldnt speak English one year ago, but now, could I take part in this competition? No, I cant. Is aid to myself? Im afraid of making mistakes before so many learned professors and before my classmates and teachers.Suddenly!

A voice came to my ears.“Everybody will make mistakes. Even the very famous American president George Bush” My English teacher said in my class.When I heard that, I think I can. I run into my teachers office happily. “I will do it.” I said. So I stand here today. In front of you.

周国平认为，每个人都睁着眼睛，但不等于每个人都在看世界，许多人几乎不用自己的眼睛看，他们只听别人说，他们看到的世界永远是别人说的样子。这启发我们，要关注自我人生的品质。只有学会独立思考，让自我的灵魂清醒，才能洞察问题，丰盈人生。

二战时期，面对战斗力的加固防护问题，仅有一位专家力排众议，说出了自己不同的看法。在所有人都支持在机身中弹多处加强防护时，只有那位专家坚持认为应该注意防护弹痕少的地方。正是他于表象思维的大潮中独立思考得来的真知灼见，挽救了成千上万飞行员的生命。学会独立思考，不随波逐流，不做别人思想的跑马场，自然成就自我生存意义，彰显自我生存智慧。

我思，不怠惰。在互联网时代，大数据大信息如浪潮般扑面而来。然而，互联网并没有改变人们思考的方式，而是改变了人们获取信息的方式。因而，就有一些人满足于当“传声筒”“复读机”，不愿思考;满足于“浅阅读”“浅吸收”，不会思考;满足于“囫囵吞枣”“一知半解”，不善思考。诚然，即使是网络将信息摆在我们面前，我们也要审视它们的真实与否，全不能因此而怠惰。

我思，不盲从。柏拉图曾说：”我爱我师，但我更爱真理。“他不像如今困在学校中的学生，只知道一昧的听从于老师的教学，毫无一丝自己的思考。他懂得独立思考，他有灵魂上的清醒。试想，如果个人或族群，不善于独立思考、缺少自省精神，只知道人云亦云，麻木盲从，那么，便只能成为别人精彩人生的可怜陪衬。

我思，方有所获。法国科学家、哲学家笛卡尔在朦胧的睡梦中醒来后，仿佛在梦中得到什么启示般，在纸上写下几个字——我思故我在。他怀疑一切事物的存在，甚至于自己的存在，却在这一天如梦初醒地道破天机：思考着的人才是活着的。他在思索中获得了举世瞩目的成就。

我就是我，是颜色不一样的烟火。每个人都有着独一无二的灵魂，每个人都应具备独立思考的能力。不避重就轻，不随波逐流，不做别人思想的跑马场。以独特的眼光去发展，我们，在路上。

我因为对篮球运动的痴迷，进而对其他所有的运动都或多或少的有一些喜欢和了解。当2022年逐步走近，我的心里对明年在北京举办的冬奥会也满满地期待。

奥运是什么?我觉得那是一个舞台，展现着力量、意志、技巧和自然的美，以及生理上的极限，赢得了数以亿记观众的青睐，人们为胜利所鼓舞，为失误而遗憾，为参与而自豪。

亦如我在篮球场上进攻、防守，为得分欣喜雀跃，为失败懊恼悲伤。挥洒的汗水以及与队友默契的配合，从来都是我快乐的源泉。每一次认真的运球、投篮，每一次在赛场上的来回奔跑，每一次大比分落后时的坚持，队员之间相互的激励，蹙紧的眉头和坚毅的眼神……奥运的赛场上，人人不都是如此吗?

没一个冠军，是在舒适安逸中得到。当人们惊叹于运动员的辉煌时，却很少关注他们的日常。残酷的训练，枯燥无味的坚持……然而他们乐在其中，风雨无阻，勇往直前，牺牲了自己的青春，将泪水洒在了训练场。他们在自己热爱的项目上废寝忘食不断拼搏，从中得到运动的乐趣。他们怀着为国争光的理想，为自己的梦想努力!当国歌奏响，所有的苦和累，在这一刻，凝结成甜甜的泪。

明年，在鸟巢，在张家口，这些冲破寒风，迎向冰雪，将汗水无数遍挥洒的健儿，将向世人明证：成功源于坚持。

而我，一名普通的中学生，在遥远的地方向着你们致敬。

即使不在体育赛场上，我也要将奥林匹克精神传扬。我在中考这没有硝烟的战场，如同你们在冰天雪地的赛场，满怀激情，满怀对胜利的渴望，不断地挥洒汗水，有一分劳动就有一份收获，日积月累，从少到多，奇迹就可以创造出来。

“不经一番寒彻骨，那得梅花扑鼻香”。每一名冬奥运动健儿，就是一朵在冰雪中绽放的梅花，寒风与冰雪，不过是淬炼其品格罢了。

在寒雪中，我将以“积睦步，行万里”的姿态，好好学习，为自己加油，为你们加油，为中国加油，为2022年冬奥会加油!

曾经天真的认为，幸福会像粉红的喇叭花一样色彩艳丽，会像滔滔江水一样轰轰烈烈。蓦然回首，那些曾经以为念念不忘的事情就在我们念念不忘的日子里，被我们遗忘了。

很多个夜晚，一抬头就没有了星星，模糊的月光高的可怕，地上黯淡的影子变成了深邃的眼睛。看天，看地，看不远处走走停停的背影。

很深的夜了，寂静的只听见钟表哒哒的跳动声，我家的水缸里又已经见了底，我只能和爸爸去不远处的水库抬水吃。我很不情愿，深冬时节，天很冷，水很凉，但还是在妈妈的斥责声中出了家门。我紧了紧身上的棉衣，偏执的认为这样就会暖和些。

一个近乎米黄色的塑料水桶，比水龙头高出了一大截，把桶底接满后，只能用壶一点一点的倒在水桶里，溅出来的水滴强有力的打在我身上，打脏了桶底。很快水满了，我和爸爸用一根铁棍穿在水桶的扶手上，一人一头，爸爸看了看我，又把水桶向他那边靠了靠，我这边立刻就抬了上去，从杠杆定理中可以得知，爸爸是爱我的，我有一点点感动，但是很不情愿将它表达出来，却也找不出任何的理由。我转过头去，不再看他，只看着漆黑的夜，谁都看不到我的脸，谁都不清楚这上面有没有滚烫的泪水，谁都不晓得从我的脸上腾起一团团白色的气体，与这漆黑寒冷的夜形成鲜明的对比。

没有什么温馨的环境，我就在这黑夜烘托的氛围里，被幸福一点一点陶醉了。留下两串一大一小一深一浅的脚印和一路走走停停的背影。

曾经追求过华美的房子，以为在温暖温馨的大房子里就会感觉很幸福，以为在风花雪月中就会长成一只美丽的白天鹅。可是在这个小小的家里，一个不经意的动作，一个不经意的眼神，都是大房子里给不了的东西，你看我现在不一样长成了美丽的白天鹅。其实我是很容易满足的。一句无可厚非的奉告，或者是劝告，我就不会再去追逐，我就会悬崖勒马，我是一个偏执的人，但是我却不想因为我的偏执浪费更多的时间，走更多的弯路。因为一个不经意的动作，我就轻易地满足了现在小小的家，和我小小的温暖。因为有了这个家，我的生活有了依靠，然而那个不属于我的大房子，永远给不了我心灵的依傍。

有的时候天天念着幸福，时时追求幸福，可是我不清楚幸福到底是什么，它就降临在我小小的最浅显的生活中，在我念着幸福的时候悄悄降临，还好我没有错过。现在我终于明白，幸福就是小小的人儿小小的心灵中的小小的感动。如果是你，遇到幸福会不会不认识了幸福。

幸福是语言表达不出的感情，却是可以描绘出的笑容，那两点一间的弧形，相信就在不远方。

have made many good friends. We share our interest and have a lot in common.

中国文化博大精深，无数名句化育后世。读了上面六句，你有怎样的感触与思考?请以其中两三句为基础确定立意，并合理引用，写一篇文章。要求自选角度，明确文体，自拟标题;不要套作，不得抄袭;不少于800字。

在美国的一个城市，有一家公司招聘职员。大学毕业生汤姆和杰瑞一同前去应聘。老板让他们从基层做起。汤姆心里觉得不服气，觉得大材小用，于是离开了。杰瑞欣然理解了，并想踏踏实实的好好做下去。十年后，汤姆仍然没有找到向往的工作，而杰瑞已经是这家公司的ceo。自命清高的汤姆天天梦想着天上掉馅饼给他，这样想走捷径的人往往一事无成，碌碌终生。可见，成功需要脚踏实地。

哲学家维特根斯坦说过，“我要贴在地面前行，不在云端跳舞。”纵观古今，凡有建树之人无一不是脚踏实地，一步一步走向成功。

世界首富比尔盖茨，一位影响了两个世纪的男人，可谁又知晓，飞黄腾达的背后是怎样的辛酸，终日泡在电脑前，承受巨大的辐射，日复一日，年复一年，最后研究出了dos甚至今日多数人使用的windows。如果不是比尔盖茨的呕心沥血，我们的信息时代不知会推迟多久到来。

民族英雄岳飞，生逢乱世，自幼家贫，在乡邻资助之下在陕西周桐门下习武，期间目睹山河破碎，百姓流离失所，萌发报国志向。寒暑冬夏，苦练不辍，一个动作能够练到成百上千遍，以求精准。在周桐的指导下最后练成了岳家枪，并率领王贵等伙伴投身于抗金爱国的爱国洪流之中。满腔抱负，一心救国，脚踏实地，立志不移，终成民族英雄。

宋朝文学家苏洵27岁发奋，立志就读，昼夜不息，终成唐宋八大家之一;张海迪立志成才，自幼高位截瘫，几次濒临死亡边缘，但她不放下。20年来她学会四门外语，翻译著作16万余字，还自学针灸，治疗病患10000余人;李时珍发现以前的医书中有多处错误，决心写一部医书。他读了800多种书，写了上千万字的笔记，游历7个省，收集了上千万单方，为了了解草药效果，他甚至亲自吞下，就这样用了31年著成《本草纲目》;古希腊演说家德摩斯梯尼，先天口吃，为了实现演说家的梦想，每一天口含石子练习发音，终成口若悬河演说家。

如果不是脚踏实地，苏洵可能只是芸芸众生;张海迪可能郁郁而终;李时珍可能重蹈覆辙，一样写一部错医书;德摩斯梯尼可能永远被别人笑话。可见，成功需要脚踏实地。

脚踏实地，生命旅程上寂寞能够铺成一片蓝天;脚踏实地，孤单能够演绎成一排鸿雁;脚踏实地，欢乐能够绽放成满园鲜花。

围棋是源于中国的一项高智商活动，在四千多年的悠久历史上，涌现过诸多名手。在现实的高水平围棋赛事中，最后摘得桂冠的一般是那些基础扎实、功力深厚，下棋堂堂正正，不会出昏招、缓手，而能在关键时刻弈出妙手的棋手。然而为了这一招妙手，棋手往往需要付出十年以上的努力。因为，妙手是一种创造，一步妙手，可能需要千万步正手的训练作为铺垫，同时需要规避成千上万次的俗手。

事实上，不仅是围棋的初学者需要从本手开始入门，将“本手”视为学习的基本和根本，那些叱咤一时的名手乃至世界冠军，同样需要以本为本，不间断地勤加练习，夯实基础，这样才可能使自己的棋艺得到升华，最终得到“妙手”的青睐。反之，往往妙手不可得，正手会出错，俗手随时有，从而一败涂地。近两年国际棋战，中国的国手们面对韩国顶尖棋士申真谞战绩不佳，一冠难求，平心论之，世界冠军柯洁们上大学后热衷一些文娱活动而荒废棋艺，难辞其咎。

不止棋也。一切需要创造力的活动莫不如此。以文学创作言，一首好诗、一篇好文乃至一个好句，都来自经年累月的写作实践。贾岛自述“鸟宿池边树，僧敲月下门”实乃“两句三年得”，曹雪芹自言《红楼梦》的写作是“十年辛苦不寻常”，杜甫追求“语不惊人死不休”，要达到出语惊人的效果，没有十年之功恐非易事。鲁迅一生常写旧体诗自娱，他自评早年所写的“华颠萎寥落，白眼看鸡虫”“奇绝妙绝”，晚年所写“横眉冷对千夫指，俯首甘为孺子牛”则是“偷得半联，凑成一律”，如此妙句的得来，当然和他自幼熟读旧诗并持续创作密不可分。“文章本天成，妙手偶得之”，这是名家陆游的“凡尔赛”，实际上，在“天成”“偶得”之前，有多少人想过他曾有巨大的付出?

不止此也。以翰墨丹青言，“我家洗砚池头树，朵朵花开淡墨痕”，洗黑一池碧水，方得几个好字。以学术研究言，“读书破万卷”是学者的基本功，清代国学大家俞樾遍读群书，才能写出《古书疑义举例》，解决了许多千百年来的书中难题。以中华武术言，历来门派林立，然而功夫精湛、屹立不倒、引人膜拜者，非武当、少林这样的名门正派莫属。有些习武者追求速成，剑走偏锋，投入邪派，甚至苦练“葵花宝典”这样的邪术，最终却落得个“虽已自宫，不能成功”的悲惨结局……

“妙手”的本质，是长年累月坚持“本手”练习后灵感的迸发，是量变后的质变，是必然中的偶然，是超出常规而仍不离规则的创新。坚持以本为本，表面看见效慢，进展缓，长远看则似缓实速，因为它埋下了创造的因子，暗含了“妙手”的萌芽。无论为学还是为人，都宜脚踏实地，一丝不苟，戒除浮躁，远离速成，以“正手”呼唤“妙手”，由小成而至大成。

嫩柳轻摇，飞絮竞逐，游丝相赛。行走在旖旎的春季，虽然刚经历寒冬的洗礼，但万物复苏，生机盎然，大自然正以崭新的相貌展示在大家眼前。

我喜爱春季，不仅由于她有鸟语花香，春光融融的美景，更是由于她是期望和活力的象征。春季中的万物都只有经历严寒后才能复苏，她所蕴含的不畏挫折，积极进取的精神勉励着我奋力前行。

半树青葱，半树春。

恰同学少年，风华正茂，俊采星驰。从古到今，年少而有为者触目皆是。“初唐四杰”之一的王勃，少有奇才，六岁属文，二十岁作《滕王阁序》，名扬四海，“落霞与孤鹭齐飞，秋水共长天一色”成为千古名句。苏轼，生十年，闻古今成败，辄能语其要。博通经史，属文日数千言。正值青春年华的大家，也一样有着“不破楼兰终不还”的激情，有着“直挂云帆济沧海”的固执，有着“天生我材必有用”的傲骨，大家当然要勤字当头，为了我们的梦想，不惧艰险，努力前行!

半米阳光，半米香。

人生如四季，大家正处在最美的春季。年少的大家，自信却不自负，张扬却不张狂。大家要用我们的双手撑起我们的蓝天。放眼今朝，90后的创业年轻人发奋有为，最近，一款能助你淘到时下时尚礼物的APP应用“礼物说”在网上火了起来，短短四个月，用户就到达200万，而成功开发这款软件的人，竟是年仅21岁的温成辉。他也曾因资金问习题面临窘境，但他笃定的说;“你不放手，失败才会撒手”。有志不在年高，追梦的路，迷雾茫茫，但大家仍然要信心满满地走向前方，所有的磕磕绊绊都只是暂时的考验，对梦想“不放手”的温成辉成功后笑得清清爽爽，在路上的大家，对追求不言弃，也定能取得痛痛快快，让自己的春季绚丽多彩，繁花似锦。

半院桃李，半院花。

身在考场的大家，正在用笔尖与考试试题的窸窣声谱写着最动听的音符。大家从升入重点初中时开始编织我们的梦想，在爸爸妈妈教师的支持与鼓励中踏上追梦之旅。大家知道，有梦在，这个春季必会留下难忘的记忆，这个春季里，校园里的半院桃树和李树和大家一起共逐高中中学梦，一路欢歌，一路精彩。桃李用满树鲜花换一个春季的倩影，大家会用努力换一个无怨无悔的结局。

碧草如酥处，繁华锦上时。左岸梦想，右岸幸福，将青春的道途，点缀得满径花香。而我将在这漫漫长途中，收获我们的风景。春嫩不惧寒，于蝶舞蹁跹处，我自铿锵!

With the popularity of the Internet, onlineShoppingis commonly used throughout the world nowadays.

It offers a number of benefits to the shoppers. The most important advantage is its convenience. You can shop whenever you want to, as the online shops are open 24 hours every day, and you don’t have to queue with other shoppers. The large varieties of goods on the net are effortlessly comparable and easy to choose.

However, every coin has two sides, so does online shopping. The main disadvantage is that you can’t actually see the products you are buying or check the quality. Sometimes the incomplete payment system will result in revealing your personal information, which is not safe.

In my opinion, its advantages weigh more than its disadvantage, because the online shopping has been a fashionable trend in our modern life, it can not only save our time but also our money for our busy life.

人类命运共同体

“没有一个国家是一座孤岛，没有一个国家能独善其身。”

——题记

那什么叫人类命运共同体

你知道吗?我们穿的衣服都是纤维制品，而纤维是石油做成的呢!我们国家人口众多，又是世界工厂，所以是服装大国，我们自己的石油产量毕竟是有限的，所以我们自然而然要从中东等石油丰富的国家和地区去进口一些石油。

不仅仅是石油，中国每年要从海外国家去进口一些矿产、木材、精密仪器，还有粮食……

当然中国也常常向外国出口一些商品，比如说向日本出口一些玉米，大豆，鸡肉，新鲜蔬菜，冷冻蔬菜，新鲜水果，还有酒精饮料;向韩国出口一些水、海产品，水产品制品，禽肉，大米和油籽;向美国出口一些玩具，家具，鞋，纺织品……

所以国家与国家之间只有互相依存，休戚与共，才能发展更好的未来。

就像这次新型冠状病毒肺炎疫情，我们中国生病的时候，日本，韩国，意大利等多个国家向我们伸出援助的双手，到了后来，当他们陷入困难之际，中国疫情迅速好转的情况下，立马去援助帮助过我们的国家，并在“救援日本的物资上，我们写下了‘青山一道，同担风雨’;在援助韩国的物资箱上，我们写下了新罗旅唐学者崔致远的名句，‘道不远人，人无一国’;在援助意大利的物资箱上，我们写下了古罗马哲学家的名句‘我们是同一片海洋的浪花，同一棵树木的叶子，同一个花园的花朵’……这些物资箱，既体现了中国践行人类命运共同体

“是啊，‘大道之行也，天下为公’，让我们更加紧密地团结在一起，让铸剑为犁，永不再战的理念深植人心，让共同发展，一起繁荣，公平正义的理念践行人间。”

民族精神的重要契机。

北京冬奥会、冬残奥会，是中国“十四五”初期举办的重大标志性活动。冬奥会筹办成为京津冀协同发展的重要抓手，京张高铁、京礼高速等基础设施建成通车为区域发展插上了腾飞的翅膀。中国将体育事业融入实现“两个一百年”奋斗目标大格局中去谋划，作为在重要历史节点举行的北京冬奥会，将极大提振民族士气、彰显民族自信。

办好北京冬奥会、冬残奥会，必将有力推动我国体育强国建设。

建设体育强国是中国全面建设社会主义现代化国家的一个重要目标。体育强国的基础在于群众体育。在申办冬奥会之时，中国便提出了带动3亿人参与冰雪运动的愿景，通过冬奥会的举办推动冰雪运动发展和全民健身开展。近年来，随着冰雪运动“南展西扩东进”战略的推进，中国人的冰雪运动热情不断增长，更多群众走向冰场、走进雪场。冰雪项目人才体系的搭建，必将助推中国冰雪运动的腾飞，推动新时代体育事业高质量发展。

不久之后，北京冬奥会将迎来倒计时一周年。如今，中国正精益求精、全力做好各项筹办工作，秉持“简约、安全、精彩”的办赛要求，努力为世界奉献一届精彩、非凡、卓越的奥运盛会。

北京冬奥，加油!中国冰雪，加油!

Earth Day

Actions for a Greener Earth

A week before Earth Day, posters were put up around our school, calling upon us to join in the actions for a greener earth.

Our class came up with the idea to make better use of used materials. We brought to our classroom worn-out clothes, pieces of cardboard and empty plastic bottles, and turned those into dolls, handbags, issue boxes and small vases. That weekend, we went to a nearby neighborhood and gave them away to the people there. Everyone was very happy with those unexpected gifts, especially little kids and elderly people. We did so well that we were invited to share our idea and experience with all the students of our school.

We are very proud of ourselves and believe we can do more for a better world.

One Possible Version 1（上海新东方）

A recent survey has been conducted on whether parents feel honored about their children in Zhonghua School. What is symbolically depicted in the bar chart above is that 80% parents regard their children as pride, while, to our surprise, only 60 in every hundred students hold the same viewpoint.

Such a striking contrast is there between the two perspectives that it reveals a common phenomenon. Parents and children hold different attitudes towards the issue. From where I am standing, two reasons are responsible for the finding.

First and foremost, with the increasingly fierce competition, teenagers are prone to suffering from the sense of inferiority. What additionally frustrates the children is peer pressure from parents. Chances are that the adults are inclined to gossip and compare with other friends about the academic performance of their children.

Apart from it, a lack of communication between parents and children is also a key factor contributing to the difference. Proud as parents feel of their children, they
