Saving Water

The world is not only hungry,but also thirsty for water. This may seem strange to you, since nearly 75 % of the earths surface is covered with water. But about 97% of this huge amount is sea water, or salt water. Man can only drink and use the other 3% -- the fresh water that comes from rivers, lakes,underground, and other sources. And we cannot even use all of that, because some of it is in the form of icebergs and glaciers. Even worse, some of it has been polluted.

However, as things stand today, this small amount of fresh water, which is constantly being replaced by rainfall, is still enough for us. But our need for water is increasing rapidly-- almost day by day. Only if we take steps to deal with this problem now can we avoid a severe worldwide water shortage later on. A limited water supply would have a bad effect on agriculture and industry. Let me give you just one small exampie of how necessary water is to industry. Did you know that to produce a single ton of steel, it takes about 91, 000 liters of water?

We all have to learn how to stop wasting our precious water. One of the first steps we should take is to develop ways of reusing it. Experiments have already been done in this field, but only on a small scale. For us, the systems are as important as the spacecraft.

节约用水

我们的世界不仅饥饿，而且因为缺水而干渴。对你来说这可能似乎奇怪：因为我们的地球表面75%由水覆盖着。但是，这巨大的数量中97%是海水、或咸水。只有剩下3%

的来自河流、湖泊、地下，和其他来源的淡水供人们饮用、使用。即使如此，这3%的水源我们也不能够完全使用，因为有些淡水是以冰山或冰河的形式存在。更糟糕的是，一些水源已遭受了污染。

然而，尽管按现状看来，这些少量的淡水即使时常转化成雨水的形式，对我们来说，也仍然够用。可是我们对水的需求却日益迅速增长。我们只有现在采取措施解决这一问

题才能避免未来世界范围内的严重水资源缺乏。限量供水会对农业和工业产生不良的影响。我们举个小小的事例就能证明水对工业的必要性。每生产一吨钢材就要消耗91，000升水，你知道吗?

我们必须杜绝对宝贵水资源的浪费。我们应该采取的第一步就是要发展水再利用的方法。该领域的实验已在进行，但是仅是小规模地进行。水资源再利用系统的重要性

对我们而言，与空间站不相上下。

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。

农历五月初五为端午节，又称端阳节、午日节、五月节、艾节、端五、重午、午日、夏节。虽然名称不同，但各地人民过节的习俗是相同的。端午节是我国二千多年的旧习俗，每到这一天，家家户户挂艾叶菖蒲，赛龙舟，吃粽子，饮雄黄酒，游百病，佩香囊。

今天是端午节，大家知道端午节的来历吗?!不知道吧!那就让我来告诉你们吧!你们还记得楚国那位爱国大将屈原吗?我来说一说他吧!

屈原是战国时期出国人，很有学问。他在楚王身边做官，以形象是自己的国家富强起来。昏君楚王却听信奸臣的话，把屈原削职流放。在流放中，屈原听说楚国的都城被敌人占领，百姓遭难，悲愤极了。五月初五这一天，他来到汨罗江边，怀抱一块石头，以纵身跳入汨罗江中。出国的百姓听到屈原投江的消息，都十分悲痛。他们含着泪划着船赶来打捞屈原，还把粽子扔到江里喂鱼，希望鱼儿不要伤害屈原的身体。这就是五月端阳包粽子的来历。

端午节还有许多有趣的活动。列如赛龙舟，挂香囊，香囊内有朱砂、雄黄、香药，外包以丝布，清香四溢，再以五色丝线弦扣成索，作各种不同形状，结成一串，形形色色，玲珑夺目。还有挂艾叶、菖蒲的习惯。

端午节的活动可真多啊!

Ofo has been favored by the public, even the foreign people speak highly of

it. These yellow bikes can be found everywhere, so the people who are in a hurry

can use it and then reached the destination in time. Especially for the

visitors, they can ride these bikes and then have a look at the scenery around.

It can saves them a lot of money and the most important thing is the convenience

it brings. These bikes can be placed any place, even the walking areas. I like

ofo so much. It makes me feel green, because it won’t produce bad air to pollute

the environment.

My traveling plan

I hope to go on a trip to Beijing,but my mother always tells me "you cant".She thinks I am too young to go to Beijing,and I am too busy at school.This term is over,To my surprise,my mother will take me to Beijing.I am very excited!Then I have a traveing plan for this trip:firstly I will go to the tiananmen square,I will take many pictures,then I am going to the palace museum,I can see many old builds there.secondly,I am goingto the wangfujing street,we will buy many things,for example,foods,clothes and some books.then I will go home. I think I will have a great trip to Beijing.

Every person needs sleep everyday. But with the high development of

society, most people have more and more things to do and have less time to

sleep. As a result, many people are lack of sleep. For a short time, they may

not realize the bad side of it, but it will bring something bad for them after a

long term. First of all, lack of sleep will do harm to people’s look. If they do

not sleep enough, they will get black eyes and bad skin easily, which will make

people look no so beautiful. Secondly, lack of sleep is bad for the spiritual

outlook. A person who lacking of sleep always looks tired and has no power to do

things. Last, not enough sleep for a long time will have bad influence of

thought. They always can’t be active in mind.

It was the second day of our summer holiday. I felt good. I felt I am free.

I had a lot of time to do things I like. My parents are in Zhongshan. So I live

alone but I don’t feel lonely. But I didn’t do something special. I stayed at

home and watched TV. Oh! I wrote an Englishdaily composition. It was my

homework. Today, I have slept for 14 hours.I thought I was very tired. It was

time for dinner. I must go! I am very hungry.

这是我们第二天的暑假。我感觉很好。我觉得我很自由。我有很多时间做我喜欢。我的父母都在中山。所以，我独自生活，但我并不感到孤独。但是，我没有做什么特别。我住在家里看电视。噢!我写了英语日记组成。这是我的功课。今天，我睡了14

小时.我以为我很疲惫。现在是吃晚饭。我必须去!我非常渴望。

九月，一个秋高气爽的季节，一个欢快明朗的季节。我们在这个金秋时节踏入了高中的殿堂，离开了父母的庇佑，离开了父母的怀抱，离开了父母的笑脸，开始一段新的奋斗旅程了。

我身上有着父母的盼望和寄托。他们满脸激动，又满脸担忧。激动的是我终于考上了理想的学校;担忧的是，我在新的学校、新的班级会有些陌生，照顾不好自己。看着他们满脸的忧愁和激动。我暗自下定决心，一定要努力学习，让父母的忧愁全化为开心。

九月一日，我们正式上课了。我踏入这所学校的大门，我觉得我离梦想又近了一步。看着来来往往的学哥学姐们，还有和我同级的新生忙碌的身影，这里有一个良好的学习氛围。有喜欢、热爱读书的同学，有兢兢业业、认真备课的老师。我不由的加快了脚步，带着满心的欢喜走进我的教室。看着一张张陌生的面孔，我有点不知所措。不知道怎么和周围的同学相处。几天过去了，我竟然和同学们的关系处理得很融洽，我喜欢我们这个班级。

新学期的第一周，我学到了许多知识，我学会了如何鉴赏诗歌。学习了李德胜的《沁园春长沙》之后，我领略到了李德胜豪迈的气概，品味到了他萧瑟的独立寒秋图和湘江秋景图。只要在高中阶段，辛勤耕种，才会有果实。

怀着万分激动的心情，坐在宽敞明亮的教室里，我希望在这个学期学到更多的知识，我希望在这个班级里和同学们和睦相处，其乐融融，我更希望我会尝到成功的果实。当然，这和刻苦学习是息息相关的。我相信一分耕耘，一分收获。我想说：“加油吧，用自己有限的青春为人生创造吃一笔无限的财富!”

As we all know, summer is the most annoying sounds of cicadas, especially in the mountain village, on a hot day, almost every minute have this annoying noise everywhere.

And I was miserable, and less than one meter beside my yard, there is a large sycamore tree, every morning to 9:00 1-8 began singing, and until 10 pm to 11 pm, in the morning it good learning time are they mix up.

So the family have come to this only know, looking for a long time only to find that it actually hid behind the refrigerator, put it to my father caught it and threw it outside. Surprisingly, it flew back, no way, it can only be caught out again because it sounds really annoying, victims we wasted so much time.

Now everyone should know the sounds of cicadas and more tired of it!

大家都知道，夏天最烦人的就是知了的叫声了，尤其是在山村里，在大热天里，几乎每分每秒都有这烦人的噪音，无处不在．

而我就更惨了，我家院子旁不到一米处，就有一棵大梧桐树，每天早上一到８到９点就开始唧唧喳喳的唱起歌来了，直到晚上10到11点，早上很好的学习时间都被它们搅和了．

有一天，一只雄知了竟然闯进了我家，开始我们并不知道，但是它一叫就使我们有了大反应．于是全家都来找这只知了，找了很长时间才发现它竟躲在冰箱后面，爸爸就把它给抓出来，扔到外面．出人意料的是它又飞回来了，没办法，只能又把它抓出去，因为它的叫声实在让人烦，害的我们浪费了这么多时间．

现在大家应该知道知了的叫声该多烦了吧！

I went to the Peoples Park with my family today. We had picnic in the

park. My mother and grandparents were preparing food, father was playing

badminton with his friend while I was reading under a tree.

今天我跟家人去公园。我们在公园野餐。我妈妈和爷爷奶奶准备吃的。爸爸跟朋友在打羽毛球，我在树下看书。

Today, I have to draw up my plan, entitled: Labour plans over the weekend

Few words, said to my plan, Ill GO! First step - mop the floor, although this is just a simple job, I examined the drag of the ground can be a piece of work that can be let me run out of energy, alas! Wipe glass, the first thing I brought a little wet dishcloth, I wipe the right spray spray the spray dish detergent left brushed, alas! My hands well acid, for too much, but unfortunately the piece glass darling let me give it a bath. At the end of a can let me eat a hell: wash the pot. It and I get along well with each other at the beginning, then it can be moody, dirty wash not to drop. Had to use my trick "to", restraining I help him by a motorcycle with melons cloth first, then a brush with steel ball, ha ha! She can be surrendered. But I am too tired to general weakness. .

I finally understand mothers hard work, but it seems my plans are completed in the mind also fruity. Happiness is in the work that is good for human, the other words is true.

今天，我已经拟好我的计划了，题目叫做：周末劳动计划

话不多说，我马上进行我的计划，GO! 第一步 —— 拖地，别看这只是一项简单的工作，我仔仔细细的拖完地可这一件工作可让我耗尽体力 ，唉!第一件事擦玻璃，我拿来有点湿的抹布，我上擦擦 左喷喷《喷洗碗精》右擦擦，唉!我的手好酸，举太高了，不过不幸中的大幸是玻璃乖乖的让我给它洗澡。最后的一件可让我吃足了苦头：洗锅子。一开始我和它相处得很好，后来它可闹脾气了，脏脏的都洗不掉。只好用我的绝招“以柔制刚”我先用菜瓜布帮他按个摩，最后再用钢丝球一刷，哈哈!她可投降了。不过我也累得全身无力。气喘如牛。

我终于明白了妈妈的辛苦，不过看来我的计划都完成心里也甜滋滋的。幸福就在有益于人类的劳动中，这几句话说得一点都没错。

201X年 X月X日 晴天开学了，从跨进校门的那一刻，我告诉自己：我已经是五年级的“大”学生了。妈妈曾跟我说过：“要想做好一件事，得在做这件事前先做好计划。”今天我就要制定一个计划，从此按计划去做。

首先，我打算做一个好学生。我一定努力学习，保持在前十名，因为哥哥去年以681分的成绩考进了科大少年班，哥哥小的时候在班上一直名列前茅，我期盼像哥哥一样考进一所好的大学。

此外，我打算在这一学期里多帮妈妈做家务事，因为妈妈不仅要上班，还要辅导我做作业，再加上一大堆家务事，妈妈一点自己的闲暇都没有了。我现在已经长大了，应该帮助妈妈做一些力所能及的事儿。

还有，我计划在这个学期增长见识，扩大我的知识面，所以我决定以后多读一些名著。我们家有很多书：《昆虫记》、《城南旧事》、《我的大学》等等，这些书我都看过，受益匪浅，但是好书多多益善，英国著名戏剧家莎士比亚说过：“书是全世界的营养品。”

现在，一切重新开始，按计划去做，我相信这一学期努力下来，我将会成为一个优秀的好少年。

"Time flies, sun and moon flies." A blink of an eye, happy and happy winter passed. And ushered in a new semester, the school opened the door to meet our arrival. I walked with excitement into the school, deserted a winter vacation playground and lively, full of laughter everywhere.

I came to the class, see the class some students in the chat, and some in the extracurricular books, and some in the chase slapstick, very hot! I and a small partner did not meet a winter vacation, and now see again, we all look very happy, happily talked about in the winter vacation occurred in the interesting.

Began to send a new book, we hungry and thirsty to see the story of the book, I found that the language of the words on the book becomes difficult, the number of pages of the text has become more, before the most text only four pages, and now the most Ten and a half. Read the text is also more, read is self-study, this semester we have to learn to learn. The contents of the book of books become dark, and difficult to understand. Science books become more interesting, and more a lot of practical activities, the English book a lot of words I will not read. But it is hard to beat us, as long as we earnestly study hard, we will be able to master this knowledge.

This semester, I must learn, read a lot, write essays, correct their own shortcomings, do a good example of the students.

Then, we have to clean up, we have some blackboard, some sweeping, and mopping the floor, as well as finishing podium, and soon, the classroom changed to very clean.

Its so happy to start school! And can chat with small partners, play, learning.

The year of 2015 is coming now，and now I have made my new year plan as follows：

In this year，I want to improve my English and Chinese，because I am not good at them，and I am not good at writing too.I want to spend a lot of time on them to practise .I will try my best .

I want to learn how to swim better this summer，because swimming is a good way to keep healthy.There is a swimming pool near our school .

I will go there with my best friend after school.He will help me .We‘ll have a good time.

My study plan put my winter holiday is full of. I plan to put all the homework before the holiday are swept away, after the Chinese New Year in the top volume with three days to review your knowledge of our sage Confucius said, "consider"! The rest of the will to prepare book1&book 2 new knowledge, or else how can have a foothold in the superior competitive school? I write my these learning plan on a piece of paper, posted on my study desk, make it a little paper play a bigger role, it can play the role of a reminder to urge.

Saying and doing are two different things, in my winter vacation plan is really reflect incisively and vividly! Every day I wait for the sun to be basked in elder sister to the quilt to get up in the morning, all day in the hands of the pen to write, the temptation of television and computer, always to prohibit on learning table winter holiday schedule become worthless. My homework to the annual month to complete, the review plans to use five days, your plan is to complete the ugly, mathematics preview only the teacher must make the preview of the first two units, other disciplines in almost flat. My poor self-control and efficiency!

May Day is coming. I?m so happy because my father and my mother take me to

WuQuan Park this holiday. In the park, I see many trees and beautiful flowers.

There are many children and many happy playing games, too.

My parents take me to the zoo. There are lions, tigers, eagles, bears,

deer, monkeys, and so on. I like the monkeys best because they are very clever

and they make us laugh. How lovely they are!

I have a good time that day. What a beautiful and happy holiday.

Halloween

Halloween is an autumn holiday that Americans celebrate every year. It means "holy evening," and it comes every October 31, the evening before All Saints Day. However, it is not really a church holiday, it is a holiday for children mainly.

Every autumn, when the vegetables are ready to eat, children pick large orange pumpkins. Then they cut faces in the pumpkins and put a burning candle inside. It looks as if there were a person looking out of the pumpkin! These lights are called jack-o-lanterns, which means "Jack of the lantern".

The children also put on strange masks and frightening costumes every Halloween. Some children paint their faces to look like monsters. Then they carry boxes or bags from house to house. Every time they come to a new house, they say,"Trick or treat! Money or eat!" The grown-ups put treat-money or candy in their bags.

Not only children, but most grown-ups also love Halloween and Halloween parties because on this day,they can disguise themselves as personages or ghost as their imaginations will lead them. This bring them the satisfaction of being young.

万圣节前夕

万圣节前夕是美国人年年都会庆祝的秋季节日。它的意思是“神圣的夜晚”，在每年的10月31日，也就是万圣节前夜。但实际上这不是一个真正的宗教节日，而主要是孩子们的节日。

每年秋天蔬菜成熟可以食用的时候，孩子们就会挑出大个儿的橙色南瓜。然后在南瓜上刻上一张脸，把一根点燃的蜡烛放在里面。看起来就好像有人在向南瓜外面张望。这些灯就叫做“iack-o-lantems”，意思也就是“杰克的灯”。

每年万圣节前夕孩子们还戴上奇怪的面具，穿上吓人的服装。有些孩子把脸刷成怪物。然后他们拿着盒子或袋子挨家挨户串门。每来到一个新房子他们就说：“不款待就捣乱!给钱还是吃的!”大人们就会把用来招待的钱或糖放在他们的袋子里了。

不仅孩子，许多成年人也喜欢万圣节前夕和万圣节前夕晚会。因为这一天他们可以根据自己的想象把自己装扮成名流或幽灵。这会带给他们年轻的快感。
