A different people have different ideas. I think the most important thing for me is having a good relationship with my family members and my friends.

One winter afternoon, I went to the balcony to wash my hands. Suddenly I saw a bird hiding in the corner of the balcony, trembling all over. I crept close to the bird and saw a broken wing on the birds wing. It was still bleeding. I see a bird fly near it, but dont fly to the corner close to the eyes, staring at me, afraid I hurt it, a faint voice.

I quickly called mom, mom said: “ Oh, this bird is so dirty, hurry away. &rdquo: I quickly said, "&ldquo, no, no, the bird is good for the birds. The little bird is hurt again. Its pathetic. His mother cant find it. Itll hurt.". &rdquo, mum nodded.

I put the bird in a pot, help it deal with the wound, then sprinkle some millet in a pot, put a glass of water.

A few days later, the bird got hurt and played with me, singing and singing as if to say, "&ldquo, boy, thank you."! ”

One day, when I went to see the bird again, I suddenly found the bird disappeared. I think the bird should be looking for mother and son!

Do you know thanksgiving day? Do you know why human thank god?

Thanksgiving falls on the fourth thursday of november, a different date every year. the president must proclaim that date as the official celebration.

Thanksgiving is a time for tradition and sharing. even if they live far away, family members gather for a reunion at the house of an older relative. all give thanks together for the good things that they have.

In this spirit of sharing, civic groups and charitable organizations offer a traditional meal to those in need, particularly the homeless. on most tables throughout the united states, foods eaten at the first thanksgiving have become traditional.

What should we thank?

The thankful great universe provides the environment of existence for us and give us sunlight, air, water and everything in keeping with we existence of space, bring storm to let us accept

To toughen for us, bring to us mysterious let us look for.

The thankful parents give us the life, make us feel the merriment of the human life, feel the genuine feeling of the human life, feel the comity of the human life, feel happiness of the human life, also feel hardships and pain and sufferings of the human life!

The thankful teacher works with diligence and without fatigue everyday of teach, give us knowledge ability, put on the wing which flies toward the ideal for us.

The thankful classmate and friend grows up road of, let i no longer standing alone in the itinerary of life; the with gratitude is frustrated and let us become in a time the failure stronger.

我们生活在大自然中，谁不希望拥有灿烂的阳光，成荫的绿树和清澈的河水？

然而，人类——我们却污染环境、滥伐森林、浪费水。你有没有想过，如果我们失去了青山、绿水，我们将怎么生存下去呢？如果我们的生存环境如此恶化下去，最终，吞食恶果的又将是谁呢？是人类，是我们!

我就拿水来说吧，有则公益广告说得好：“请爱护水吧，否则，地球上的最后一滴水将是人类的眼泪!”这则广告虽然单单只有二十余字，却让人们深深地反思呀!

我的爸爸经常说小时候家乡的河水清澈见底，可是现在人们却将废水不断地排入小河。河里的水质渐渐恶化，一天天，一月月，一年年，河水混浊了，自由自在游动的鱼虾绝迹了，河边争奇斗艳的花儿枯萎了……

在这里，我想请每个人都从自己做起：拧紧身边的每一个水龙头，捡起路边的每一块水果皮，捞起湖中的每一个塑料袋……积极宣传环保知识，做一个忠诚的环保卫士，不要让环境举起“黄牌”!

警钟已敲响，人类啊，醒悟吧!

“是谁送你来到我身边，是那圆圆的明月，明月”

每到周末，总能听到楼下在放这首歌。不用看就知道肯定是他。

他是谁，叫什么名字？我不知道。总是能看到他在我们楼底下转悠，一手提着一个大麻袋，一手拿着他那个破旧的收音机，不时还会朝垃圾桶里看看有没有什么纸箱、塑料瓶之类的。

他的腿脚似乎不太方便，走起路来一瘸一拐的。眼睛也不好，一只向上翻，几乎全是眼白。他的样子看起来有些可怕，但是他那件洗的有些发白的蓝色工衣和看到人都会笑一笑的性格都会让人有莫名的好感。

正因如此，很多来来往往的人都会跟他聊天，有的还会给他带些吃的。他呢，也是来者不拒。

我爸是一非常健谈的人，记得那是暑假的一天，吃完午饭后，他非让我把厨房的垃圾去楼下丢了，他看着我一脸严肃的说：“你看你都多长时间没出门了，快去丢垃圾，不许找借口。”

我提着垃圾袋刚走到楼下，看到一个蓝色的背影，手中的收音机还放着那首歌。是他。

他在楼下的四个垃圾桶里来回张望，有时还用手去翻看。

夏天的垃圾桶味道可想而知，站在离它一米多远的地方就能闻到烂水果跟馊饭菜的味道，真不知道他怎么能忍受的。

我匆匆把垃圾扔进一个桶里就跑开了。这时老爸拍了拍他的肩膀，似乎是因为收音机的原因，扯着嗓子说：“你好呀。”他转过身来看了看，又急忙把收音机关了，然后笑了笑说道：“不好意思，有什么事吗？”

“你要纸箱吗？”“要的”他点了点头。

老爸转过头，让我去把妈妈前几天快递的箱子拿下来，自己顺道把他拉到了一旁的台阶上坐下来聊了起来。

当我下楼时，他们还在聊，我便提着箱子在一边听了起来。

“这么热的天，你怎么还在垃圾桶里翻，味道不难受吗？”

“没办法，为了生活嘛。”

“那你直接在可回收的桶里面找就可以了呀？”

“哎，现在的人都不管什么垃圾分类，垃圾桶上的图标如同虚设，大多数人都是胡乱丢的，只顾自己方便，没有垃圾分类的意识。”

听到这里，我默默的低下了头。这样随手一扔的习惯，会给别人带来这么多的麻烦。

“这鬼丫头怎么还不下来”老爸说着转过头就看到了我。“你下来了呀，赶紧把纸箱给叔叔。”我木讷的给出，他朝我笑了笑。

回到家后，我开始思考垃圾分类的问题。虽然生活垃圾分类对于我们每个人来说是一件小事，因为对我们来说只是举手之劳，但生活垃圾分类对于我们来说又是一件大事，因为我们这一行为又是提升社会文明道德的重要体现，所以我们要树立起“垃圾分类，从我做起”的观念，积极参与到垃圾分类的行动中！从自我做起，从身边做起，从现在做起，人人动手，净化环境。每个人带动家庭成员把可再生和不可再生的垃圾按照标准分类投放，养成垃圾分类的文明习惯；从源头减少厨余垃圾产生；减少使用一次性消费品，通过我们的实际行动，让我们的家园更环保、更和谐。

As we all know， the environmentaround us is getting worse and worse . In

some places we can’t see fishswimming in the river or trees on the hills. Not

only does it affect our lives and health， but also has a great affection in the

future. So I thinkwe must do something to protect the environment. .But what can

we do?

Now green commuting and a low-carbon life are more and morepopular in the

society .For example，we can go to school on foot or by bike ， we can use

shopping baskets notplastic bags when we go shopping and we can use both sides

of the paper when wewrite .

In a word ，if everyonepays more attention to(makes a contribution to) our

environment ，there will be less pollution and our lives will be better.

Dear Sir,

I am a December 2003 graduate from the University of San Francisco (USF)

with a bachelors degree in International Business. As part of my career

planning, I am very interested in supplementing my international business

education with a basic knowledge of the Chinese language. This I hope will help

me enter into business commerce with business organizations partnering with

Chinas economic development.

I already have information from BLCU and hope to study there for at least

one full year starting with this summers program continuing through the fall

and spring semester 2006. Can your office advise me if such scholarships might

be available to me?

I have been studying Chinese for one year now. I am not sure what level I

belong to. I was told that there will be an HSK test in our university in

September. I am planning to attend the test. But I dont know if the result of

the test is recognized by your university. If so, can it be a help for me to

apply for the scholarship?

I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Yours faithfully,

Tom Jolly

Mariner magnificent life adrift in the sea, the vast expanse of the universe, the endless sky. Flying it! Colorful flying in the sky, let sights perfusion your head, let Mother Nature to make your mind blowing, so boring life can no longer imprison your soul.

An old saying: "read better than ten thousand books." Travel is more than two feet bookcase to wisdom; travel orders the soul to reach sublimation. It was a trip, no matter how many years of experience, makes me nostalgic. Various recall before graduation, that smile look forward to the completion of the trip, but also Shenluo in my mind, finally finally wait until the completion of brigade, sunny morning, like the sun for our farewell. After hearing the principal, teachers lecture, everyone is excited, chattering side edge of the car to talk.

Car, some people listen to music, some people in the chat joking, some people play slapstick, others kept pressing the shutter to capture a wide range of memories, some even too excited, has been absurd, prompting the whole car burst into laughter. After half an hours drive, we arrived at the first stop ── Youth Activity Center. Satiation local folk cuisine, we were lively mountain training, it turns away an hour before the event. Wow! Each facility is very exciting and interesting, it looked shocking, white hair have been scared, but there are several volunteers after the first experience, we gradually willing to go, but in the end the girls are crazy play. Among them, I most like to play the "single cable suspension bridge", it was a man on a three-story ropes, sliding down the facility, is really more play the more addictive.

The next day we spent in the Miao, first ranch experience farm style. Bought a lot of local gifts, enjoy rustic cuisine, we try to do some dairy products, such as: butter, chicken cakes. Among them, the chicken pie time-consuming and bother. But when I tasted it loosely soft palate, the entrance of the home-made cakes, wonderful taste echoed in my mouth, like ocean waves hitting my throat. Next stop ── West Lake Resortopia, quiet forests, green scenery, blue sky, dotted with bright stars, located in the beautiful scenery of the cabins, seems to be especially gorgeous, very fascinating. The end of the three-day event, those views, I forget, flows in my heart throbbing, deep wash my heart.

This journey, I realized that invisible but profound impact on my thoughts of "friendship." Friendship graceful and moving, bright flames, like much, but indispensable. It is clean, satisfactory moving mind, ignited the hearts of people, listening to compose a song.

Is it good for students to do some housework？ Some people think students need not do any housework。 They think the only thing students need do is to study well。 I don’t think so。 It is good for students to do some housework for three reasons。 Firstly， to do some housework can make you independent。 You can’t depend on others all your life。So you should learn to do some housework now。 Secondly， to do some housework can keep you healthy and strong ， some hard housework can be regarded as a kind of physical exercise。 Finally， to do some housework can share your parents’ work 。They must be happy if you say” Have a rest ， and I will do the housework”So I think it is good for students to do some housework。

The Fascinating Moonrise

There is a hill near my home that I often climb at night. The noise of the city is a far-off murmur. In the hush of dark I share the cheerfulness of crickets and the confidence of owls. But it is the drama of the moonrise that I come to see. For that restores in me a quiet and clarity that the city spends too freely.

From this hill I have watched many moons rise. Each one had its own mood. There have been broad, confident harvest moons in autumn; shy, misty moons in spring; lonely, white winter moons rising into the utter silence of an ink-black sky and smoke-smudged orange moons over the dry fields of summer. Each, like fine music, excited my heart and then calmed my soul.

But we, who live indoors, have lost contact with the moon. The glare of street lights and the dust of pollution veil the night sky. Though men have walked on the moon, it grows less familiar. Few of us can say what time the moon will rise tonight.

Still, it tugs at our minds.

If we unexpectedly encounter the full moon, huge and yellow over the horizon, we are helpless but to stare back at its commanding presence. And the moon has gifts to bestow upon those who watch.

I learned about its gifts one July evening in the mountains. My car had mysteriously stalled, and I was stranded and alone. The sun had set, and I was watching what seemed to be the bright-orange glow of a forest fire beyond a ridge to the east. Suddenly, the ridge itself seemed to burst into flame. Then, the rising moon, huge and red and grotesquely misshapen by the dust and sweat of the summer atmosphere, loomed up out of the woods. Distorted thus by the hot breath of earth, the moon seemed ill-tempered and imperfect. Dogs at nearby farmhouse barked nervously, as if this strange light had wakened evil spirits in the weeds.

But as the moon lifted off the ridge it gathered firmness and authority. Its complexion changed from red, to orange, to gold, to impassive yellow. It seemed to draw light out of the darkening earth, for as it rose, the hills and valleys below grew dimmer. By the time the moon stood clear of the horizon, full-chested and round and of the colour of ivory, the valleys were deep shadows in the landscape. The dogs, reassured that this was the familiar moon, stopped barking. And all at once I felt a confidence and joy close to laughter.

The drama took an hour. Moonrise is slow and serried with subtleties. To watch it, we must slip into an older, more patient sense of time.

To watch the moon move inflexibly higher is to find an unusual stillness within ourselves. Our imaginations become aware of the vast distance of space, the immensity of the earth and the huge improbability of our own existence. We feel small but privileged.

Moonlight shows us none of life’s harder edges. Hillsides seem silken and silvery, the oceans still and blue in its light. In moonlight we become less calculating, more drawn to our feelings.

在我家的附近有座小山， 我常在晚间爬上山去。此时，城市的喧嚣成了遥远的低语。在这黑夜的静谧中，我尽情地分享蟋蟀的欢乐，感受猫头鹰的自信。不过，我上山是来看月出的，因为这可以让我的内心重新感到被城市消耗殆尽的平静与清新。

在这座山上，我欣赏过许多次月亮升起的景象。每一次月的姿容性情都不同。秋天，满月如轮，充满自信;春天，月亮清雾迷蒙羞羞答答;冬天，银白色的月亮挂在漆黑的、悄无声息的夜空中，显得那样孤寂;夏天，桔*的月似被烟尘笼罩，俯瞰干燥的田野。每一种月亮，都像美妙的音乐，颤动我的心灵，令我的灵魂平静。

但我们这些深居室内的人，已与月亮失去了联系。城市中耀眼的街灯和污染性烟尘遮住了夜空。虽然人类已在月亮上行走过，但月亮对我们却更加陌生了。现在已很少有人能说出今晚月亮何时升起。

但无论怎样，月亮依然打动我们的心灵。

如果我们偶然遇见一轮黄灿灿的满月高高挂在空中， 我们都会禁不住抬头凝望她那高贵的仪容。而月亮会向那些注视她的人赐予厚礼。

我得到她的厚礼是在山间七月的一个夜晚。我的车突然无缘无故地熄了火，将我孤身一人困在山中，束手无策。太阳已经落山，我注视着东边山头涌起的一团桔红色的明光，好像森林起火一般。突然，山头自己也似乎燃起火焰，一会儿，一轮又大又红的月亮从树林中慢慢现出身来，夏天空气中弥漫的灰尘与湿气令它显得异常怪异。大地灼热的呼吸扭曲了它，它变得非常暴躁，不再完美。附近农舍的狗紧张地狂吠起来，因为这团奇怪的光亮叫醒了野草中的魔鬼。

然而当月亮缓缓从山头升起，它聚集了越来越多的坚定与威严;它的面孔由红色变成了桔红，又变成金色，最后成为沉静的*。它似乎吸收了正在渐渐转暗的大地的光亮，因为随着它的升起，下面的丘陵山谷变得愈来愈朦胧。等到皓月当空，满月如盘，闪烁出象牙般的清辉，山谷便成了风景中一片幽深的阴影。那些狗明白了那团光原来是他们熟悉的月亮，也安定下来，停止了吠叫。霎时间，我也觉得信心倍增，心情舒畅，几乎笑了起来。

这奇特的景观持续了一个小时。月出是缓慢而充满神奇的。观看月出，我们必须回到一种古老的、耐心的时间观念中去。观看月亮不可阻挡地升上天空，会让我们找到内心的无比安宁，我们的想象力能让我们看到宇宙的辽阔和大地的广袤，能让我们忘掉自己的存在。我们觉得自身渺小，但又深感大自然的厚待。

月色下，我们看不到生活中坚硬的棱角。山坡在月光下如同笼上了一层柔和的银纱;大海在月光下宁静碧蓝;我们在月光下也不再像白日那般心计来往，而是沉醉于自然的情感中。

Hong Kong is one of the two special administrative regions (SARs) of the Peoples Republic of China, along with Macau. Comprising more than 260 islands, the territory is located on the eastern side of the Pearl River Delta, bordering Guangdong province in the north and facing the South China Sea in the east, west and south.

Hong Kong was a Crown colony of the United Kingdom from 1842 until the transfer of sovereignty to the Peoples Republic of China in 1997. The Sino-British Joint Declaration and the Basic Law of Hong Kong stipulate that Hong Kong will operate with a high degree of autonomy until at least 2047, fifty years after the transfer. Under the policy of "one country, two systems", the Central Peoples Government is responsible for the territorys defence and foreign affairs, while Hong Kong maintains its own legal system, police force, monetary system, customs policy, immigration policy, and delegates to international organizations and events.

Hong Kong is frequently described as a city where East meets West, a meeting reflected in its economic infrastructure, education, legal system and street culture. On one street corner, there may be traditional Chinese shops selling Chinese herbal medicine, Buddhist paraphernalia or bowls of synthetic shark fin soup. But around the next, one may find theatres showing the latest Hollywood blockbuster, a British-style pub, a Catholic Church or Ronald McDonald inviting passer-bys to a Big Mac. The territorys official language is Chinese and English; signs in both languages are omnipresent throughout Hong Kong. The government, police and most workplaces and stores conduct business bilingually. British rule may have ended a decade ago but Western culture is deeply ingrained in Hong Kong and coexists seamlessly with traditional philosophy and practices of the Orient.

Hong Kong has an active nightlife centred on two major entertainment districts, Lan Kwai Fong (Central) and Wan Chai. Both areas are frequented by expatriates and locals alike. For a more quiet evening, a trip to Victoria Peak offers a spectacular view of the city. There is also a promenade along the Tsim Sha Tsui waterfront, which is popular among young Chinese couples. Shopping, a form of entertainment for the people of Hong Kong, is even done at nighttime as evident in the Temple Street Night Market where one can also catch free performances of Peking opera.

The citys cosmopolitan flavour can also be seen in the wide variety of cuisines available. While different varieties of Chinese selections, especially seafood, are most popular, there are also many European, American, Japanese, Korean, and other restaurants. Ethnic dishes served in cha chaan teng and dai pai dong are also popular. The people of Hong Kong take their food seriously and many top chefs make their way to the city to show off their talents to these discerning diners.

While Hong Kong is a global centre of trade, perhaps the citys most famous export is its entertainment industry, particularly in the martial arts genre. Several top-notch Hollywood performers originate from Hong Kong cinema -- Bruce Lee, Chow Yun-Fat, Jackie Chan, Michelle Yeoh, Jet Li and Leslie Cheung, to name a few. Behind the camera, Hong Kong filmmakers have also struck fortune in Hollywood such as John Woo, Wong Kar-wai, Tsui Hark and martial arts choreographers who have designed fight scenes in the Matrix trilogy, Kill Bill and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Back in Hong Kong, several homegrown films have also gained international recognition such as Chungking Express, Infernal Affairs, Shaolin Soccer, Rumble in the Bronx and In the Mood for Love. Acclaimed filmmaker Quentin Tarantino has said hes strongly influenced by Hong Kong action cinema.

The Hong Kong government also supports cultural institutions such as the Hong Kong Heritage Museum, Hong Kong Museum of Art, the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts and the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra. Furthermore, the governments Leisure and Cultural Services Department also subsidizes and sponsors the bringing of international performers to Hong Kong.
