The Great Wall of China,also known in China as the Great Wall of 10,000,is an ancient Chinese fortification built from the end of the 14th century until the beginning of the 17th century,during the Ming Dynasty,in order to protect China from raids by the Mongols and Turkic tribes.It was preceded by several walls built since the 3rd century BC against the raids of nomadic tribes coming from areas now in modern day Mongolia and Manchuria.The Wall stretches over a formidable 6,350 km (3,946 miles),from Shanhai Pass on the Bohai Gulf in the east,at the limit between China proper and Manchuria,to Lop Nur in the southeastern portion of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.

The first major wall was built during the reign of the First Emperor,the main emperor of the short-lived Qin dynasty.This wall was not constructed as a single endeavor,but rather was created by the joining of several regional walls built by the Warring States.It was located much further north than the current Great Wall,and very little remains of it.A defensive wall on the northern border was built and maintained by several dynasties at different times in Chinese history.The Great Wall that can still be seen today was built during the Ming Dynasty,on a much larger scale and with longer lasting materials (solid stone used for the sides and the top of the Wall) than any wall that had been built before.The primary purpose of the wall was not to keep out people,who could scale the wall,but to insure that semi-nomadic people on the outside of the wall could not cross with their horses or return easily with stolen property.

我国古代有一位爱国诗人叫屈原，他遭谗言被放逐后，无力拯救危亡的国家，悲愤过度，于是投江自尽，以生殉国。人们为了不使鱼虾吃掉他的尸体，纷纷将捏成的各种各样的饼子投入江中，用来喂饱水中的动物，有的划着船在水上敲锣打鼓驱赶水兽。这便成为现在端午节，吃粽子、炸糕点、赛龙舟的由来。

说到这里，我又想起了我家过端午节的情景。奶奶捏了种类不同的饼子，有小花，小人，小海星，真是形态各异。妈妈急着去买菜角，爸爸不慌不忙地拉着我去买粽子。排着长长的队，好似一条长龙，我们好不容易才买到了粽子。可以看出，家家户户都很重视这个节日，人们用这种方式来表达对屈原的思念和崇敬。

You see: no problem can be find on a computer; In recent days the weather conditions can see on the computer; You can order things on the computer, cheap and convenient; You can watch TV on the computer, watching a movie; Can also be on the computer games... Is there anyway.

Remember one night, I was in a language the basic training, stumped by a question and she ran and asked my father: "dad, this topic in the flesh in the text said what mean?" After dad thought for a long time said: "this is not very clear to me, you still to look at the computer!" Then I thought to myself: this topic how so difficult? Even give up my dad. "And then, I will go online to find, as a result, let me check the best answer," flesh "is" the human body. In this way, my problem is solved.

In addition, I also like playing computer games, so, after I finish my homework every day, I can play for a while, but I have to remind everybody is, playing computer games, but dont be hidden, it can only be as a relaxation after the completion of a job, playing on the computer at the same time should pay attention to: protect good vision; Computer disease prevention...

This is my hobby?? Play computer.

我有许许多多的爱好，其中，我最喜欢的爱好是玩电脑。

玩电脑其实有许多的好处，不仅在学习上给了我很多帮助，而且在生活当中也给我很多帮助。你瞧：不会的问题可以在电脑上查找;最近几天的天气情况可以在电脑上查看;可以在电脑上订购物品，既便宜也省事;可以在电脑上看电视、看电影;还可以在电脑上打游戏……反正是举不胜举。

记得有一天晚上，我在做语文《基础训练》时，被一道题目给难倒了，就跑去问爸爸：“爸爸，这个题目里的‘血肉’在课文中表示什么意思?”爸爸想了很久之后说：“这我也不是很清楚，你还是去查看一下电脑吧!”当时我心里想：这题目怎么这么难啊?居然都把我老爸给难倒了。”然后，我就上网去查找，结果让我查到了最佳答案，“血肉”表示的是“人的身躯”。这样一来，我的问题就迎刃而解了。

另外，我还喜欢玩电脑游戏，所以，每天我做完作业之后，我可以小玩一会儿，不过，我得提醒大家的是，玩电脑游戏时，可千万不能上隐，那只能是作为在作业完成之后的一种放松，同时玩电脑时要注意：保护好视力;预防电脑病……

这就是我的爱好??玩电脑。

今天，天气转凉，大家都披上了大衣，来到了美丽的校园，小鸟似乎变少了，小草开始掉发了，大叔开始掉牙了，这意味着一年即将过去了，一眨眼十月已经过半，一年还有最后的三分之一，一天跟光速一般，在这光是的日子里发生了许多有趣的事情，在中学的每一节可我都听得非常认真听从老师指挥和安排，也在每一节课里紧紧抓住每一个知识点，虽然上课很死板，但有几堂课却让我记忆犹新，比如今天的英语课……

“叮铃铃”上课铃响了，我静静的坐在位子上等待老师上课，在我看来英语课有时有趣，有时却非常无聊，而今天这堂英语课让我改变了对它的看法，我相信这样有趣的课堂老师也一定发了不少心思来准备这堂课，在上课时老师突然给我们来了个对抗游戏，男生VS女生哪一方选手问题回答的多，那方就获胜。

比赛开始了，男生，女生都不甘示弱，勇于站起来回答问题，外面狂风大作，里面却是这番热闹的情景，一分钟过去了，二分钟过去了，三分钟过去了男生和女生之间出现了距离，眼看第一大题就要结束，我们男生非常着急，想挽回局面，正当我们要开始翻盘时，第一大题居然就这然结束了，不过还好，还有第二大题，谁赢谁输还不一定呢？第二大局开始了，经过一番调整的我们，又开始追逐了紧张又激烈的气氛依旧未停，男生们依然努力的追赶着分数，能追一分是一分，女生好像有点骄傲了，回答的人越来越少，我们分数渐渐多了起来，直到最后一题是我们只差女生两分了，当我们认为胜负已定时，老师突然说最后一题回答对加两分，这是我们脸上又有了笑容，因为班长把自己的手举得高高的，他是我们最后的一线希望了，你是男生唯一的靠山了，当老师在黑板上花了两个大星星后就意味着我们的努力没有白费，我们终于胜利了！

今天的这节有趣的英语课给我们打来了许多欢乐和笑声！

the longing summer vacation is approaching, it is the best part of the school year for me. i cannot let the holidays elapse (逝去) meaninglessly, my vacation should be a phase (时期、阶段) of harvest. the events in my plan should give me a sense of infinite potential.

the following plan may reveal the intensity of my desire to travel, work and study in this vacation. in the first few days i want to climb mount hua shan with several friends to refresh ourselves. then i tend to visit relatives, senior school teachers and former classmates(老同学). besides, to find out the best ways to cultivate my abilities, i will find a part time job and conduct some social investigation.

in short, i want to do interesting things in the summer vacation. whatever i do, the goal is the same: to get necessary experience, acquire knowledge and broaden my horizons. though the six week vacation will pass away at lightning speed, its influence is bound to last long.

In our daily life, if we get on harmoniously with our friends, we’ll feel more joyous. But we’ll feel lonely without friends.When our friends feel upset or get ill, we shouldn’t ignore them or look down upon them. On the contrary, we ought to calm them down, show our love and concern to them and try our best to help them overcome the hardships. Sometimes we may have some misunderstandings or disagreements with our friends, thus we had better have a discussion with them and try to accept their good ideas instead of quarreling with them. As long as we can follow these good suggestions, we’ll find it easy to make more friends.

在日常生活中，如果我们跟朋友相处融洽，我们的心情也会更加愉悦。然而若是没有朋友则会觉得孤单。当我们的朋友忧伤或是生病时，我们不应冷落或轻起他们，相反地，我们要帮他们平抚心情，尽自己最大的努力关心他，帮助他渡过难关。有时候我们会与朋友产生误会，发生分歧，这时我们最好是跟朋友好好谈谈而不要争吵，尽量理解他的好的想法。只要我们遵循这些建议，我们会发现想要结交更多的朋友很简单。
