Study has been part of our life. For some people, they believe that live

and learn is the right attitude to life. I agree with it. As we have so many

things to learn, it is important to learn with efficiency. There are many

suggestions in the following.

First, knowing yourself. It is of great importance to get to know your

strength and weakness, so that you can figure out the right strategy. For

example, the high level students can spend more time to read extra books, while

the low level students should focus attention on their foundation, and time is

needed to spend on the text books.

Second, manage your time and life. It is so common for students to deal

with many things in the same time, then priority should be given to the things

that related to your goal. For example, if you take part in many qualification

tests, then the first choice is the test related to your major, because you need

it to improve your ability.

Learning to learn helps people to work efficiently. If we find the right

strategy, then we will be successful someday.

Once, I talked to the foreign people, he was staring at me all the time,

which made me feel not comfortable, so I chose to avoid his eyes and kept a

little distance from him. When I talked about this problem to my foreign

teacher, she told me that it was natural for them to look at you during

communication, which meant respect. While in China, people do the opposite

thing. They try to avoid eye-contact, because it is not eased to look at each

other. The different culture sometimes creates distance. The foreigners always

feel strange when they look at Chinese people’s eyes and every time when they

want to come closer to hear more clearly, Chinese people will walk away. So the

more we learn about the culture, the more we know about the world.

The way people hold the belief that a fun-filled， pain-free lifestyle

equals happiness actually reduces their chances of ever obtaining real

happiness. If fun and pleasure are equal to happiness，then pain must be equal to

unhappiness. But in fact，the opposite is true： more often than not things that

lead to happiness contain some pain.

As a result，many people avoid the very attempts that are the source of true

happiness.They fear the pain inevitably (不可避免地) brought by such things as

marriage，raising children，professional achievement， religious commitment，

self-improvement.

Ask a bachelor why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be

less and less satisfying. If he is honest，he will tell you that he is afraid of

making a commitment，for commitment is in fact quite painful. The single life is

filled with fun， adventure and excitement.Marriage has such moments，but they are

not its most distinguishing features.

Couples，with infant children， are lucky to get a whole nights sleep of a

three-day vacation. We dont know any parent who would choose the word fun to

describe raising children. But couples that decide not to have children ever

know the joys of watching a child grow up or playing with a grandchild.

Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun

is one of the most liberating realizations. It liberates time： now we can devote

more hours to activities that can really increase our happiness. It liberates

money：buying that new car or those fancy clothes to increase our happiness now

seems pointless. And it liberates us from envy：we now understand that all those

who always have so much fun actually may not be happy at all.

People always say that if you want to be successful, then you need to never

give up. I agree with it. The power of insistence is infinite. It can bring us

to our destination. I have made up my mind to finish the task in the planned

time. At the beginning, I would write my homework once I got home and I finished

it quickly without other’s interruption. But sometimes my friends came to my

house and asked me to join the activity, and I would say yes without hesitation.

When I got home was almost ten o’clock, all I wanted to do was to sleep, but

thinking about the homework, then I decided to finish it and refused to leave

them another day. Today’s thing should be done in today. That’s my faith. My

insistence helps me to be an excellent student.

Far and away the most important holiday in China is Spring Festival, also

known as the Chinese New Year.

To the Chinese people it is as important as Christmas to people in the

West.

The dates for this annual celebration are determined by the lunar calendar

rather than the Gregorian calendar, so the timing of the holiday varies from

late January to early February.

To the ordinary Chinese, the festival actually begins on the eve of the

lunar New Year‘s Day and ends on the fifth day of the first month of the lunar

calendar. But the 15th of the first month, which normally is called the Lantern

Festival, means the official end of the Spring Festival in many parts of the

country.

Spring Festival is the most importantand popular festival in China.Before

Spring Festival ,the people usually clean and decorate their houses.And they go

to the Flower Fairs to buy some flowers.

During Spring Festival ,the adults usually give lucky money to

children.People often get together and have a big meal.Some people eat dumpling

for dinner.

I love Spring Festival .

Dear Manager,

Now I am writing to tell you that I bought a TV set from your shop several

days ago. But when I brought it home and turned it on, I found it didn’t work

properly. So I took it back to the shop and told the assistant what had

happened. To my surprise, your assistant didn’t help me to solve the problem. On

the contrary, he shouted at me rudely and refused to examine it.

I know that your shop enjoys a high reputation of good service, so I bought

the TV set in your shop. But today, I am sorry to find that such service should

have happened in your shop and your assistant didn’t seriously think of the

interests of customers.

I hope you will look into the matter and give me a reasonable explanation.

I am waiting to know how you will deal with it. Thank you for your consideration

and I am expecting an early reply.

Sincerely yours,

Dragon Boat Festival is one the very classic traditional festivals, which

has been celebrated since the old China. Firstly, it is to in honor of the great

poet Qu Yuan, who jumped into the water and ended his life for loving the

country. Nowadays, different places have different ways to celebrate.

In my hometown, there will be a traditional competition, that is the dragon

boat race. People make up the team and fight for the honor. Every boat looks

like the dragon and it is the most obvious feature. A lot of people will come to

visit or watch the match. Then the game begins. The audience will cheer for the

teams and the competitors try their best to make the boat go fast. It is very

lively.

Besides the competition, eating the traditional food zongzi is favored by

everyone. For me, it is very delicious. My grandma makes the best zongzi. She

has the special recipe and it fits my stomach. So every time I go back hometown,

my grandma will make it for me.

In other places, drinking the special wine and hanging the leaf are also

the tradition. The preserve of the traditional festival makes our culture

profound.

Marine biological environment is a complex system including sea water, sea

water, soluble matter and suspended matter, seabed sediments and marine

organisms. The rich biological resources, mineral resources, chemical resources

and power resources in the sea are indispensable human resources treasure

houses, which are closely related to the survival and development of

mankind.

At present, the main objective of marine conservation is to protect marine

biological resources so that they can not be exhausted for sustainable use by

mankind. In particular, priority should be given to the conservation of marine

animals that are valuable and endangered. According to the UN investigation, due

of marine organisms, the coastal engineering construction, deforestation,

pollution of the marine environment in general, at least 25 of the worlds most

valuable fisheries resources consumed, whales, sea turtles, manatees and many

other marine animal faces the danger of extinction. It is expected that with the

expansion of marine development, it is possible to cause more damage to marine

biological resources.

Marine protection task should first stop on the marine biological resources

excessive use, secondly to protect the marine biological habitat or habitat,

especially their migration, spawning, feeding, avoid Huahai coastline, beaches,

estuaries, coral reefs, to prevent heavy metals, pesticides, oil, organic

produce and eutrophication. Nutrients such as marine pollution. Maintain the

ability of regeneration of marine biological resources and the natural

purification ability of the sea water, maintain the marine ecological balance,

and ensure the sustainable development and utilization of the marine.

Gorky said: "Books are the ladder of human progress!" It is obvious how

important reading is! Reading books allows us to learn a wealth of knowledge,

but also make people progress.

Usually we should read more books, and we must read good books, such as:

science fiction, composition, fairy tales, fables, myths and other useful.

Meaningful book. However, for books like comics, it is best to read less.

"Reading through thousands of books, writing pens is like a god." I think

that reading more is good for writing. When reading, you should accumulate some

good words and good sentences, and then copy them on your notebook. Learn more

about other peoples writing skills. Content, so that when writing, the

accumulated and learned things can come in handy!

Books are our good friends; books are also our good teachers; none of us

leave anyone, book this intimate teacher, this competent teacher!

moon is always very round on that day, and makes people think of their relatives

and friends. It is a day of pleasure and happiness. Hope you have a wonderful

Mid Autumn festival!

Earthquake is one of the most severe natural disasters. Its shaking of the

ground caused by the sudden breaking and shifting of large sections of Earths

rocky ourter shell. Its results can be very horrible. The Wenchuan Earthquake in

2008 and Japan Earthquake in 2011 are the most severe earthquakes in recent

years, causing huge casualties and property losses. But earthquakes almost never

kill people directly. Many deaths and injuries in earthquaking result from

falling objects and the collapse of buildings

I have learned English for many years, as I learn more knowledge about the

was small, I knew nothing about the world, I believe the place I lived around

当我闲得没事时，就总自己用微波炉做点东西吃。一天，爸爸看见我这样，说我长大恐怕是要当厨师了。我立刻把头摇得像拨浪鼓似的，说：“那不是我的理想，我长大想做IT(信息技术)行业。”

没错，自从五年前爸爸给我买来电脑后，我就一天天地熟悉它。到了去年，我已经和它结下了不解之缘。从那时候开始，我就想要在信息技术行业取得成就，为国家计算机事业做出贡献。

可是爸爸说我在这个行业中只能做“游戏测试员”，就是什么游戏新出来，总是先让我玩玩，报告游戏中有什么错误。我觉得他说的没有错，我最近一段时间老是玩游戏，那些FLASH之类的老也不用了。

最近几天，我萌生出了一个不好的想法：将我玩的那个网络游戏的服务器给黑了，将我的账号修改成最高级别。可是，我想了又想，这样做是不对的，而且被警察抓到也是不好的。而且当黑客也需要很高的电脑技术的。

成为IT行业的一员是我的理想，所以我要向这个目标前进，提高自己的电脑技术.

Cellular phones have had a major impact on our lives and the way that we

perform every day tasks. Many of these changes are apparent, while others we may

not even be aware of.

Cell phones have brought a whole new meaning to the term multitasking.

Twenty years ago, it was not possible to talk to the office while you were at

the grocery store picking up some necessary items. You could never have had a

three-way business conference while you were fixing dinner or been able to deal

with a business client from home while caring for a sick child. Cell phones have

enabled us to do various tasks all at the same time.

Cell phones have also enabled families to keep in closer touch with each

other. Children can contact you if they have missed their ride form soccer

practice and your spouse can call while he is stuck in traffic to let you know

that he is going to be late for supper. Teenagers are able to call to ask

permission to go somewhere, and with GPS features that are now available on some

cell phones, you are able to check to make sure that they are where they are

suppose to be.

Many of these advantages we do not even notice. Have you ever arrived at

the grocery store and realized that you have forgotten your grocery list? The

first thing you would probably do is to call home and have one of your children

read the list off to you. In the same situation in past years, you may have

forgotten things or have had to drive all the way back home to get it. If your

car breaks down, you automatically call for help instead of having to walk to

find a pay phone. Cell phones have certainly made our lives much more

convenient.

Cell phones have also changed the way that people interact with each other.

When we call someone, we are actually calling the person and not a place. This

enables us to be more spontaneous when making plans as you rarely get a busy

signal and unlike a land line telephone, someone is always home. Cell phones

also enable us to call if we are going to be late for an appointment, although

this has led to cell phone users running late more often than those who do not

have cell phones. These users seem to have adopted the attitude that appointment

times are not concrete and use their cell phones to renegotiate their arrival

time.

One of the greatest disadvantages of the cellular phone is the fact that we

do not talk to strangers when traveling anymore. In the past, several people

waiting for a bus would engage in a conversation while they were waiting. People

who traveled the same routes every day might develop friendships along the way.

This situation does not happen anymore. Today when people are waiting for a bus,

they just pull out their cell phones and speak with old friends, missing out on

the opportunity to make new ones. In large cities, many people do not know their

neighbors, even though they may have lived in the same neighborhood for years.

As a society, we are beginning to lose the face-to-face contact that was such an

important part of our lives in the past.

Cell phones are a great asset in aiding in our every day lives. You should

remember, however, to hang up every once in a while and pay attention to the

world around you.

My mother high stature, not fat or thin, a few silk shallow wrinkles on the

forehead, often hang a smile on his face.

Mother is kind, she taught me at an early age to be honest, treat people to

be generous, since the childhood to cultivate my good character.

Remember there is one thing I always forget. It was a hot afternoon, the

sun like aball of fire to bake the earth. I do in the room, fan fan, but sweat

kept rolling down. I said to mother: "mom! The weather was too hot, hot as hell!

I want to eat Popsicle." Mother said: "go, Ill take you to buy some ice stick."

Then picked up a wallet.

Where to buy, I chose a Popsicle, mother from the purse and took out a

piece of 50 yuan to buy the ticket of uncle, uncle to find the money, my mother

and I went hurried home.

At home, mother put back counted, soliloquize ground to say: "yi? Well,

there are 7 yuan, how do I find 45 yuan?" Once I listen to and happily say:

"good! People buy really confused, looking for more 3 yuan. Mom, the 2 yuan to

me?" Mother stared my one eye, said angrily: "find the 2 yuan more, we should

give the money back, do not want the covet petty gain! Besides, somebody else

sell Popsicle more not easy!" Say that finish, mother take fire up the sun, give

somebody else sent 3 yuan.

China had cause for a double celebration on Saturday after winning their

first ever swimming gold medal as well as setting a new world record in the

womens 400m medley.

Sun Yang sealed a place in Chinas Olympic history with an impressive swim

in the 400m freestyle final that was only 0.07 seconds off the world record to

take gold.

Defending Olympic champion Park Ta-Hwan was leading at the final turn, but

the 20-year-old Sun surged past his South Korean rival in the final length to

seal a place in Chinese Olympic history.

"The feeling is very nice, its beautiful. Its a big dream come true for

me," said Sun.

"Because its the Olympic Games, I felt a little bit nervous at the start,

and then at the end, I felt that I could get a medal."

Twenty minutes after Yang won Chinas maiden gold medal, 16-year-old Ye

Shiwen triumphed in the womens 400m medley, as well as breaking the world

record set in Beijing four years ago.

Ye rounded off a sparkling day in the pool for China as she claimed the

title with a breathtaking final lap of 28.93 seconds.

"I thought at the 200 meters that the race was lost, but then I realized I

was in the top two or three and I was confident I could win on the last leg,"

said Ye.

"I dreamed of winning the gold medal, but I never ever expected to break a

world record, Im overwhelmed."

I had a joyful summer vacation. During the holidays, I traveled with my

families.

We went to Beijing and stayed there for four days. We lived in the hotel.

It is very beautiful. We visited to the Tiananmen Square, the Imperial Palace,

the Summer Palace and the Old Summer Palace.

We also went to the Great Wall. The weather was very hot, but we were

exciting. I like Beijing very much. I hope I can go there again.

Since we were born as a little baby, we get help from others all the time.

Our parents raise us, our teachers teach us and our friends company us.

Therefore, it’s important for us to be grateful to those people who give us a

hand. Being grateful is a way to show them our appreciation and our love. No one

in the world is supposed to love us without any conditions. Moreover, Being

grateful to others and to what you get can lead you are ready to help others,

too. I think this is the most important impact on people that being grateful. If

we are all show our appreciation to others and then help others, we could build

a friendly and harmonious society.

With the development of technology, bicycle sharing comes into peoples

lives. It becomes more and more popular and much news reported it. At the same

time, we should see that there are some problems caused by bicycle sharing.

On one side, bicycle sharing makes it very convenient of people traveling.

You can find a bicycle anywhere at any time when you want to go out for a

cycling, and the price of one trip is very low. It cansave time for people. On

the other side, its management is not perfect. Even kids can open the lock and

ride the bicycle, there is no doubt that such behavior is very dangerous. Whats

more, many people deliberately break it, like throw it to the river or destroy

the code above it.

In my opinion, we should take a developing view about bicycle sharing. It

is obviously helpful to human beings as a high-tech product. The government

should introduce relevant provisions toregulate this market to avoid its

disadvantages.

Today, as the development of the medical, people can slow down their aging.

As for the celebrities, they use the developed technology to keep young, seeing

their unchangeable faces in the screen for so many years, the audience also want

to imitate the celebrity, they believe that by using the developed technology,

they can keep young all the time. While in my opinion, the way to keep young is

to hold a young heart, some people look young outside, but in their hearts, they

are old enough and refuse to keep pace with the time. While for another group,

even they have wrinkles, they are curious about all the things and are willing

to change. My grandpa is old, but he knows all the fashionable things, sometimes

I have to ask him for the new things. The young heart is the way to keep young

forever.
