今天是正月十五元宵节，早晨打完拳吃完了早饭，姥姥对我说：“今天是元宵节，大街上可热闹了，你想去看吗?”“好啊，我太想去看了，姥姥，我们走吧!”我高兴得都跳起来了。

我跟着姥姥从家里一出来，就听到了大街上敲锣打鼓的声音，还有各种音乐的声音，热闹极了。我们走到了建设路口，原本宽宽的马路现在已经是水泄不通了，真是人山人海，有的小孩子看不见还坐在大人的肩膀上呢。我慢慢地挤到了人群里面，这时正好看到踩高翘的过来了，他们能在高高的棍子上走得那么稳真是不简单呀!后面是骑毛驴的，呀还有大头乖乖，还有扭秧歌的……真是太好看了，我最喜欢的是舞龙，两条长长的龙像真的一样在半空中灵活地游来游去，真可爱!

We have recently held a class meeting to discuss the pressure upon everyone of us Senior Three students. At the meeting everyone expressed their own opinions on how to get relieved from pressure.

Pressure comes from all around: from the heavy load of learning, from the fierce competition, from teachers, and from parents. Pressure may affect our studies if there’s too much of it. However, if taken positively, a certain amount of pressure may help push us ahead.

Whenever I find there’s too much pressure, I choose to work out or listen to some light music, which seems to be quite effective. There are many approaches to getting oneself relieved when pressure accumulates. I strongly recommend that when you feel much too stressed, you stop whatever you are doing, get out into the open, take a deep breath, and start thinking of something positive.

There are many different beliefs about the origin of the Lantern Festival.

But one thing for sure is that it had something to do with celebrating and

cultivating positive relationship between people, families, nature and the

higher beings they believed were responsible for bringing/returning the light

each year.

One legend tells us that it was a time to worship Taiyi, the God of Heaven

in ancient times. The belief was that the God of Heaven controlled the destiny

of the human world. He had sixteen dragons at his beck and call and he decided

when to inflict drought, storms, famine or pestilence upon human beings.

Beginning with Qinshihuang, the first emperor to unite the country, all the

emperors ordered splendid ceremonies each year. The emperor would ask Taiyi to

bring favorable weather and good health to him and his people. Emperor Wudi of

the Han Dynasty directed special attention to this event. In 104 BC, he

proclaimed it as one of the most important celebrations and the ceremony would

last throughout the night. They clean it all up in the morning.

Another legend associates the Lantern Festival with Taoism. Tianguan is the

Taoist god responsible for good fortune. His birthday falls on the 15th day of

the first lunar month. It is said that Tianguan likes all types of

entertainment, so followers prepare various kinds of activities during which

they pray for good fortune.

Yet another common legend dealing with the origins of the Lantern Festival

speaks of a beautiful bird that flew down to earth from heaven, which was hunted

and killed by some villagers. This angered the Jade Emperor in Heaven because

the bird was his favorite one. Therefore, he planned a storm of fire to destroy

the village on the 15th lunar day. The Jade Emperors daughter heard of this

plan, and warned the villagers of her father’s plan to destroy their village.

The village was in turmoil because nobody knew how should they escape their

imminent destruction.

However, a wise man from another village suggested that every family should

hang red lanterns around their houses, set up bonfires on the streets, and

explode firecrackers on the 14th, 15th, and 16th lunar days. This would give the

village the appearance of being on fire to the Jade Emperor. On the 15th lunar

day, troops sent down from heaven whose mission was to destroy the village saw

that the village was already ablaze, and returned to heaven to report to the

Jade Emperor. Satisfied, the Jade Emperor decided not to burn down the village.

From that day on, people celebrate the anniversary on the 15th lunar day every

year by carrying red lanterns on the streets and exploding firecrackers and

fireworks.

There are many stories on how this festival was created. One other story is

about a maid. In the Han Dynasty, Mr. Eastern was a favorite advisor of the

emperor. One winter day, he went to the garden and heard a little girl crying

and getting ready to jump into a well to commit suicide. Mr. Eastern stopped her

and asked why. She said she was a maid in the emperors palace and her name was

Yuan-Xiao.

She never had the chance to meet her family after she started worked at the

palace. She missed them so much every 12th lunar month. If she couldnt have the

chance to show her filial piety in this life, she would rather die. Mr. Eastern

promised her to find a way so she could reunion with her family. Mr. Eastern

left the palace and set up a fortune-telling stall on the street and disguised

himself as a fortuneteller. Because of his reputation, many people asked for

their fortunes.

But every one got the same prediction - a severe fire accident on the 15th

lunar day. The rumor spread quickly. Everyone was worried about the future and

asked Mr. Eastern for help. Mr. Eastern said, "On the 13th lunar day, the God of

Fire will send a fairy lady in red to burn down the city. If you see a lady in

red wearing green pants riding a black horse on that day, you should ask for her

mercy." On that day, Yuan-Xiao pretended to be the red fairy lady. When people

asked for her help, she said, "Im the messenger of the God of Fire and came to

check on the city and Im going to set up fire on 15th. This is an order from

Jade Emperor. He will watch from the heavens.

I will give you a copy of the imperial decree from the God of Fire. You

should go to ask your emperor to find a way out." After she left, people went to

the palace to show the emperor the decree which reads "The capital city is in

trouble. Fire burns on the palace, and fire from Heaven burns all night long on

the 15th." The emperor of Han Dynasty was very shocked. He called and asked Mr.

Eastern for advice. After pondering for a while, Mr. Eastern said, "I heard that

the God of Fire likes to eat Tang-Yuan (Sweet dumpling). Does Yuan-Xiao often

cook Tang-Yuan for you? On the 15th lunar day, let Yuan-Xiao make Tang-Yuan.

Your Majesty will take charge of the worshipping ceremony and you will give

an order to every house to prepare Tang-Yuan to worship the God of Fire at the

same time. Also, deliver another order to ask every house in the city to hang

red lantern and explode fire crackers. Lastly, everyone in the palace and people

outside the city should carry their lanterns on the street to watch the lantern

decoration and fireworks. If everything goes this way, the Jade Emperor would be

deceived.

Then everyone can avoid the fire accident." The emperor happily followed

the plan. Lanterns were everywhere in the capital city on the night of the 15th

lunar day. People were walking on the street. Fire crackers kept making lots of

noise. It looked like the entire city was on fire. Yuan-Xiaos parents went into

the palace to watch the lantern decorations, and Yuan-Xiao made a big lantern

and wrote her name on the lantern. They happily reunited together after her

parents called her name. Everybody was safe during the night. The emperor of Han

Dynasty had a new order that people should do the same thing every year. Since

Yuan-Xiao cooked the best Tan-Yuan, people called the day Yuan-Xiao

Festival.

Young people were chaperoned in the streets in hopes of finding love.

Matchmakers acted busily in hopes of pairing couples. The brightest lanterns

were symbolic of good luck and hope. As time has passed, the festival no longer

has such implications.

Those who do not carry lanterns often enjoy watching informal lantern

parades. In addition to eating tangyuan (simplified Chinese: 汤圆; traditional

Chinese: 湯圓; pinyin: tāngyuán), another popular activity at this festival is

guessing lantern riddles (which became part of the festival during the Tang

Dynasty), which often contain messages of good fortune, family reunion, abundant

harvest, prosperity and love.

Its beyond reproach that we will come across all kinds of difficulties and

challenges in our life time .Some will be subjected to frequent sadness .Some

will lose their way to move on .Thus,only when we equip ourselves with hope and

courage can we finally succeed in the uncertain future.

Forrest Gump showed so great courage in the movie that he touched me a lot

. For one thing,no matter when and where Jenny got into trouble ,Forrest Gump

would bring her out of it without thinking how dangerous the situation would be

.Maybe we should all fell ashamed that we love ourselves more than we love love

,but Forrest showed great courage in love .For another,Forrest gump risked his

life to save Bubba in the war.Its courage that helped Forrest gain a series of

honor after war .Forrest Gump is beautiful for his perseverance and touches

others with his courage.

A person cant do without courage in terms of love and friendship ,let alone

life . A weak person may avoid the difficulties ,but a person with courage will

face up to it head-on. Therefore,letequip ourselves with great courage.

Chinese people usually have two word or three word names: the family name, a middle name and the last name.中国人的名字通常由两个字或三个字组成：姓，中间名和最后名。

Family names always come tirst.For example, my full name is Bai Junwei.Bai is my family name. Junwei is my given name.But some Chinese people dont have the middle name. For example, a man called Zhou Jian. Zhou is his family name,and Jian is his given name.姓要放在第一位。例如：我的全名叫白君伟。白是我的姓，君伟是我的名。但有些中国人没有中间的名，例如：一个人叫周健，周是他的姓，健是他的名。

People often use Mr. , Mrs. , or Miss before their family names, but never before.their given names.So you can say "Mr. Zhou", but you could never say "Mr.Jian".人们经常在他姓的后面使用先生、夫人、小姐，但此种说法从不在名字后面使用。所以你能说“周先生”，而不能说“健先生”。

Chinese names are different from English names.In England, the last name is the family name. The first and the middle name is tile given name.For example,there is a man called Jim Henry Brown. Brown is his family name. Jim Henry is his given name.Another difference between~ E.nglish and Chinese names is that in China, the younger peoples names shouldnt be the same as the elders in the family.For example, my grandpas name is Guo Dong, so i cant be called Guo Dong again.This shows that we respect the old people.中国人的名字与英国人的名字不同。在英国，最后一个字是姓，第一个和第二个是名字。例如：有个人叫Jim HenryBrown，Brown是他的姓，JimHenry是他的名字。英文和中文名字的另一个不同之处是：在中国，年轻人一般不能取和老人一样的名字。例如：我的外公叫郭冬，而我不能再叫郭冬，这是对老人的尊重。

In the family, people usually call me Weiwei for short. This is because it is shorter and easier than Bai Junwei, and it also they love me.In one word, Chinese names are quite different from English names.在家里，大人通常简称我伟伟，这是因为这比白君伟短并且容易叫，也显示出了他们对我的疼爱之情。总之，中国人的姓名表示法与英国人不同。

During my high school years, I have found chemistry, physics, and mathematics interesting.Actually, I am interested in many subjects such as biology, history, geography, Chinese, and English.But somehow I cannot remember the historical events or the facts about geography in detail. I cannot remember biological terms well, either.On the other hand, chemistry, physics, and mathematics are easy for me because they seem logical to me.After considering my interests and talents I feel that science or engineering might be the best choice for my career.I would like to study science or engineering in college.After graduation from college I hope to go for higher education overseas.Eventually I would like to return to school to teach.This is my career plan.

在我高中的时代，我发现我对化学、物理和数学很感兴趣。事实上，我觉得其他的学科也很有吸引力，如：历史、英语。但是不知何故我不能详细记住历史事件，也不能很好地记住英语单词。相反，化学、物理和数学却容易些因为它们有逻辑性。鉴于我的兴趣所致我感觉到理科或者工科是我未来职业的最好选择。我更愿意在大学里学理科或工科。大学毕业后我希望到海外去继续深造。最后我将回到学校教书。这就是我的事业规划。

Nowadays, house husband has become a hot phenomenon in modern society. As

we all know that no matter what country, it’s a tradition that men play a core

role in family who always take the burden to earn money to support their family.

But things are kind of different as society develops, more and more men are

beginning to take over housework while women go out from house. In my point of

view, I think this is not a big deal.

In the first place, house husband may be a shame title for men, but when it

comes to money, there is no room for reputation. As society develops, the life

standard are rising, and everything for living is much expensive than before, if

couples want to guarantee their life quality, then they should let the one who

earn better to work, although the one is female.

In the second place, it’s fine for women to support family as long as they

earn better than men. In the past, women always were treated very badly, and

they got no rights to be educated, to work. In some countries, they can’t even

show their face to others. A traditional female role is to stay at home, taking

care of children and do all of the housework. But now, lots of women have a good

job, so that they totally have the ability to be the economic backbone.

Therefore, in order to take good care of family, men are likely to stay at home

to do housework. I don’t think it’s a shame for men, because no matter what you

do, as long as you do it well, you are successful.

To sum up, people should change their opinion about core role of a family.

It’s acceptable for women to support the family, and there is no shame for men

to do the housework. As long as you remember life quality comes first.

From the chart, it is obvious that renting a room near the university is more comfortable to live in. However, If let choose, I will choose the former without hesitation.

For one thing, Im a person who is afraid of loudiness. So I would like to live with other 3 persons rather than myself alone. Moreover, I can learn how to communicate with others and help each other if I live with other people. I also can make more friends in the university.

Secondly, even though there is no single cleaning facility in the dormitory, it can help me adapt myself to the surrounding and learn how to live in harmony with others. Whats more, although Im a person who loves freedom, I hope the dormitory life could make my life more regular and meaningful.

Last but not least, the fees of the dormitory is far cheaper than the renting room. Choosing the former one will make easier to me to afford it by myself.

In a word, it is absolute for me to choose the university dormitory. As the facts I mentioned, I believe it is a wise choice.

Someone asks me what on earthHappinessmeans? I cant give you the exact definition of it, but Im sure if you love and help others, youll get it..

Ill never forget an old lady. She lives in a small house alone. Its said that her husband and her son died in a traffic accident. How bitter her life is!But the old lady often helps others with a smile. Whenever it snows, she is always the first to clean the paths. She looks after several children living nearby. I am one of them. I often remember the stories she told us and her kind smile. Perhaps she is unlucky, but I think she is a happy person. Her life is full of laughter and love.

But Im sad to see some people getting their happiness in bad ways.They speak loudly in cinemas and meeting rooms; they destroy trees to enjoy themselves and they laugh at others shortcomings. Perhaps they feel happy at that time, but they will never get true happiness because they have lost their personality.

Now I know what happiness is. It means kindness, love and unselfishness. Above all, only bringing happiness to others can make you yourself get it.

15th day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival is a traditional Chinese festival.

In the first month for January, the ancients said that night as "night", and on the fifteenth day is the first full moon night of the year, so called the fifteenth day of the Lantern Festival. Also known as "the Lantern Festival". According to Chinese folk traditions, in one yuan after the beginning, the earth rejuvenation of the festival night, the sky the moon is high, the ground people view lamp lights million, guess riddles, eating lantern family reunion and harmony. Far since the han dynasty, the folk have sweet dumpling pomp watching lanterns, so people call this day "Lantern Festival".

Yuanxiao put the custom of the lamp, lantern fair in the tang dynasty developed into pomp, after the tang dynasty, has developed into a national carnival. Tang dynasty (A.D. 685-762) of the kaiyuan prosperity, and changan lantern fair scale is large, randeng fifty thousand lamps, lanterns great variety, the emperor ordered the giant lamp floor, quanta between 20, 150 feet high, shimmering, very spectacular.

Then the development of the parade, the Lantern Festival is becoming more and more long. The day before and after the lights in the tang dynasty is the "has", the song dynasty and added two days after the 16th, in the Ming dynasty is extended to by 8 to 18 ten days.

In the qing dynasty, the manchu in the central plains, palace Lantern Festival, no longer folk lights still spectacular. Short date for five days, continues today.

农历正月十五日，是中国的传统节日元宵节。

正月为元月，古人称夜为"宵"，而十五日又是一年中第一个月圆之夜，所以称正月十五为元宵节。又称为"上元节"。按中国民间的传统，在一元复始，大地回春的节日夜晚，天上明月高悬，地上彩灯万盏人们观灯、猜灯谜、吃元宵合家团聚、其乐融融。远自汉代以来，民间即有元夜张灯赏灯的习俗，所以人们又把这一天称作"灯节"。

元宵放灯的习俗，在唐代发展成为盛况空前的灯市，中唐以后，已发展成为全民性的狂欢节。唐玄宗(公元685——762)时的开元盛世，，长安的灯市规模很大，燃灯五万盏，花灯花样繁多，皇帝命人做巨型的灯楼，广达20间，高150尺，金光璀璨，极为壮观。

以后历代的元宵灯会不断发展，灯节的时间也越来越长。唐代的灯会是“上元前后各一日”，宋代又在十六之后加了两日，明代则延长到由初八到十八整整十天。

到了清代，满族入主中原，宫廷不再办灯会，民间的灯会却仍然壮观。日期缩短为五天，一直延续到今天。

Some people feel like they are always busy doing something all day long, but they still have a lot of things to do. It seems that the time is never enough. How can we spend our time effectively? Well, in my humble opinion, there are several tips that we can use.

First of all, we should make a list about the things we need to do today. The chef thing to remember is to do the things which are extremely critical first. Second, be concentrated. For the people, they may lack of self-control, they are easily got distracted by other things, thus its important for them to do the things according to the list. Dont do other things unless you have finish your job. Last but not least, wake up earlier in the morning. Youll find you have more time to do the things you want.

In a word, we should have a plan about the things we are going to do. Only in this way we can use time effectively.

有些人感觉他们整天都忙个不停，但是他们还是有好多事情要做。看起来时间永远不够用。我们怎样才能合理的利用时间呢?在我看来，有几点建议可供大家参考。

首先，我们应该为自己今天要做的事情列一张表。最重要的是要记住先做那些紧急的事情。其次，要专心。对于年轻人来说，他们也许缺乏自控能力，很容易被其他事情分神。因此，按照单子做事情非常重要。做不完列表上的事，就不做其他的闲事。最后，早上起得早一点。你会发现你能有更多的时间来做你想做的事。

一句话，我们应该对将要做的事情写个计划。只有这样，我们才能合理的利用时间。

人们在春节的爆竹声后，在走亲访友后，有各自忙活了起来，因为又要迎来又一个热闹的节日——元宵节。

元宵节这天傍晚，寂静的村子便热闹起来，锣鼓喧天，村民的心也随之沸腾起来。听到这盼望已久的声音，小孩子们更是欢呼雀跃，心花怒放。

农家小院里平时只有自家人进进出出，可是现在不同了，左邻右舍过家串户，制作精美的，多姿多彩的灯笼挂满了院子，人们观赏着五彩缤纷的艺术品，个个赞不绝口。

随着夜幕的降临，家家户户的灯笼挂满了村子，孩子们都拿着自己心爱的灯笼，漆黑的夜晚随着时间而变得明亮。孩子们走在街上嬉戏着，大人们也结伴走在大街上议论着今年的灯笼，年轻的帅小伙有时还会碰见心上人呢!

家长的元宵节，不但闹出了村中的喜气洋洋，也为新的一年来闹来了希望，为村民们闹出了五谷丰登，闹得人们个个喜笑颜开，满面春风，精神抖擞。元宵节已过，勤劳的村民又走上了田埂上开始新的一年劳作。

这就是我家乡的元宵节。

When I turn on the TV, I have heard the kitchen came the voice of nagging presence: "alas, the child is watching TV, you know every day watching TV, how big is not sensible, graduation will be over in a month..." Whenever at this time. My heart is pulled tightly, sick of it.

After school, I have no empty to play outside, like a happy bird was put into the cage. What I yearn for the nature, longing for a breath of fresh air outside! But mom is like a ruthless big lock tightly locked me, let me to breathe. I cant sing aloud, cant fly in the sky.

During the holiday, the students can be happy, free. They can go to the movies with my parents, to go to travel, also can go to an amusement park with elder brother elder sister... But I was learning to breath.

Trouble has been bothering me, I really want to tell all parents: our wings is still very young, dont be too much. Put pressure on us, the pressure become our growing annoyance is bad for our health, is disappointment may harvest more in the future......

每当我打开电视，就听见厨房里传来唠叨不休的声音：“唉，这孩子又看电视，每天就知道看电视，都怎么大了还不懂事，再过一个月就毕业了……”每当这时。我的心就揪得紧紧的，烦透了。

上学以后，我没有空到外边去玩，就像一只快乐的小鸟被关进鸟笼里。我多么渴望大自然，渴望呼吸一下外面的新鲜空气啊!可妈妈就像一把无情的大锁紧紧地把我锁住了，让我透不过气来。我不敢高声唱歌，不能在天空中自由飞翔。

每逢放假，同学们可开心，可自由啦。他们可以跟父母去看电影，去游山玩水，也可以跟哥哥姐姐去逛游乐园……可我却被学习压得喘不过气来。

烦恼一直困扰着我，我真想告诉所有父母：我们的翅膀还很稚嫩，不要过多地。给我们施加压力，这样的压力成为我们成长中的烦恼对我们的身体是不利的，也许将来收获的更多是是失望啊……

农历一月十五日是元宵节，是我国的传统节日，流传了上百年的历史，所以各地办起了欢庆元宵节的活动。

在我的家乡里元宵节也是一个特别隆重的节日。村里的每一个角落都张灯结彩，每户都挂上写着(詹)字的红灯笼，村理事会还准备了节目如：英歌队唱英歌，放烟花，打鞭炮等等，为元宵节游老爷做好准备工作，等待元宵节的到来。

我简单介绍一下我们我们游老爷的队伍，游老爷的队伍是由两班英歌队各展才艺，许多小孩拿着彩旗，打着锣鼓，提着灯笼，八位大人老爷金身大轿，还有七八十岁的族老爷跟在后面。真像古代皇帝出巡的样子，还是游到哪里，那里就有鞭炮，烟花等等。
