时间真的很奇妙。它拥有可以淡化一切事物的魔力;也同样掌控着使万物成长变化的力量

那就是日积月累的力量。

一朵花，悄然地绽放，人们在惊叹它美丽的外表的同时，是否会联想起它破土而出的艰辛?一只蝶，扇动着翅膀飞舞丛间，当人们赞叹着它夺目的色彩的瞬间，可曾有人知晓它破茧而出的努力?

在所有成功的背后，都蕴含着汗水与泪水;在所有成功的背后，都必不可少的，是日积月累的力量。

事实可以证明。在工作岗位上兢兢业业的员工，终于得到了应得的薪水;在灯下熬夜苦读的学生，终于考上了理想的大学;在研究室里埋头钻研的发明家，终于完成了新发明;事业有成的小伙子，努力追求，终于和心爱的女孩在一起……

风雨过后终会见彩虹，日积月累的奋斗之后，是舒展的眉头和舒心的微笑。

我对日积月累的定义就是：成功=时间+经验+天赋+机遇+日积月累。

但日积月累的结果，并不全是好的。家中的自行车，日积月累之后，慢慢变得破旧;路旁的墙砖，历经沧桑之后，渐渐变得斑驳……尽管如此，但更多的时候，我们就像一条牛仔裤，时间是水，经过水的打磨，牛仔裤才能显出个性和独一无二!

看着日历一页一页往后翻，我低头沉思，我是否也因日积月累而成长呢?个子逐渐地变高，知识逐渐地增长，自己的社会见识也在逐渐深邃……我是不是也像牛仔裤一样，在接受水的打磨，在诠释着自己呢?

“日”字加上“月”字就是“明”字。我相信，好的目标，加上日积月累的努力之后，就会是光明而美好的未来!

我国有个起源于春秋战国的节日，叫端午;我国有个防疾病的节日，叫端午;我国有个运动的节日，叫端午!端午节又叫端阳节、重午节，在农历五月初五，是我国的传统节日，历史十分悠久，传承了几千年!

关于端午的来源，人们有许多说法，但其中流传最远、史书也有明确记载的就是为了纪念屈原。相传，屈原本来是楚国的三闾大夫，因为当时的国君十分昏庸无能，百姓生活在水深火热之中，秦国又蠢蠢欲动，准备攻打楚国。屈原向国君进谏，却被罢了官，放逐到了乡村。后来秦军攻破了楚国国都，楚国灭亡了。屈原听到消息后，悲痛欲绝，在自己生活下的茅屋里写下《怀沙》后，望着楚国国都，向滚滚的汩罗江中跳去。大家见了，有的拼命打捞，有的用粽叶包着糯米往河里扔，还有的在用雄黄驱赶蛟龙。为了纪念他，人们把这天叫端午节。

端午节是春夏交际之时，蚊虫众多，疾病易发。所以，每到端午，人们都要驱五毒、吃五黄、插艾草、菖蒲。大家还会从街上买来蛋，把它放进锅里和艾叶一起煮，把蛋吃掉后，再用煮蛋的水洗脸，传说一年也不会被蚊虫叮咬。小孩儿还会把自家煮的蛋拿出来，和邻居玩“碰蛋”，看谁的蛋结实。赢家据说一年都不会被病魔困扰!

端午节这天，人们都会组织去划龙舟。江边聚满了人，他们瞪着眼珠子，不停地喊着“加油加油”，为龙舟上的人呐喊助威。而龙舟上也挤满了人，他们双手拿着浆，使劲地划啊划。当有一只龙舟最先划到终点时，观众就会热烈地鼓起掌来，有的甚至跳了起来。整个场面热闹非凡，充满了喜悦!

这就是端午节，这就是我国的端午节!我爱端午!

规则，约束行为;规则，培养习惯;规则，助人成功。规则中铸就辉煌，规则中绽放睿智!

——题记

溪流循着大海"有容乃大"规则的，才浩荡出势不可挡的汹涌，大树浸润了“困难孕育成功”的规则，才造就了参天大树的雄奇壮丽;小草领悟了坚持不懈的规则，才成就了“春风春又生”的顽强;雄鹰博览了“天高任鸟飞”的规则，才铸就了“欲与天公试比高”的翱翔。拥有良好的规则，才能成就圆满的事业。

规则对人的影响是不容小觑的。细微的小事之中总能体现发人深省的哲理。“山羊过独木桥”作为学校传统的团体比赛项目，却在今年的预赛中出现了新情况，导致运动员和裁判激烈争论。这说明，这项比赛的规则仍然不够健全，还有待于完善。同时，这更加值得我们深思——规则。个人的成功需要规则，民族的振兴需要规则，国家的富强更有赖于规则。

对于个人来说，规则是一面镜子，更是一把戒尺。每个人置身社会生活中，总要面对各种各样的规则，有了规则的约束，生活才会井然有序。遵守规则，更能体现出一个人的道德素养，思想水平。遵守社会规则，才能奏响生活之歌;完善人生规则;都会成为命运强者!

悠悠中华，五千年岁月。那秦的强大，怎能离开严厉的规则;那唐的昌盛，又何曾不是依靠完善的规则。唐太宗李世民任人唯贤，虚心纳谏，严格要求自己。他恪尽职守，具有强烈的责任感和使命感。作为天子，为文物百官树立了一个良好的典范。遵守规则，知错就改。李世民携百官开辟了一个”贞观盛世“，把唐朝带入了一个开明繁荣的时代!

历史也同样告诉我们，规则的退化，注定是失败。推出的是”取之尽锱铢，用之如泥沙“的挥霍，铭记的却是”楚人一炬，可怜焦土"的秦之泪。规则的完善与否，决定王朝的兴衰。天宝后期，唐玄宗懈怠政事，贪恋女色，整天饮酒作乐。他与唐太宗李世民背道而驰，导致前所未有的盛世开始走向衰败，让光芒四射的李唐王朝褪去了昔日的风采……

历史用它生动的语言为我们诠释规则的意义，生活以它独到的方式给我们呈现规则的真谛，拥有严明纪律的军队，才会拥有战斗力;具有合理道德行为规范的社会，才会正常运转。规则，时时刻刻影响着我们的生活，正所谓“没有规则，不成方圆。”遵守规则，完善规则，培养习惯，铸就辉煌!

Since I went to high school, I have had many annoyances.

On the one hand, I am under great pressure on my study. I need to take the exams every month. Once I am falling behind other students, I will feel that I am not doing well. I always want to be the best, but things can’t go on my way. On the other hand, I don’t want to talk to my parents, if they ask me the questions, I will answer them with few words. I think they won’t understand me, so I am not willing to communicate with my parents.

I know I am in the adolescence, my body grows fast, changes happen on me, and my emotion is unstable. So I need to learn to adjust myself and get used to these changes. I need to open my heart and have less pressure.

打从我上高中起，我就有很多烦恼。

一方面，我在学习方面面临很大的压力，我每个月都要参加很多的开始，一旦比别的学生落后，我就会觉得我做得不好。我总是想要成为第一名，但是事情并不总是按照我的意愿走。另一方面，我不想要和我父母交流，如果他们问我问题，我就三言两语搪塞他们。我觉得他们并不了解我，因此我不愿意和父母交流。

我知道我处于青春期，我的身体长得很快，我身上发生了变化，情绪变得很不稳定。所以我学着去调节自己，适应这些变化。我需要打开心扉，减少压力。

Trees are very useful to people. They provide us with wood and other

products. They give us shade and they help to prevent drought and floods.

Unfortunately， in many parts of our country， people havent realized the

importance of trees. They cut them down at will. They are usually too lazy or

too careless to plant and look after new trees. As a result， the forests

continue to disappear.

Where there are no trees the rain falls on the surface， causing floods， and

carries away with the rich topsoil， in which crops grow so well. When all the

topsoil is gone， nothing remains but worthless deserted.

The big floods of 1998， in parts of China， have already taught us a good

lesson. So every one of us must love trees， protect forests， and keep on

planting trees each year.

A bird in a cage, the free space is infinite, they like the frog in well spend in narrow space, not their own free life.

Each time I see them, they think, feel with the other.

Every day to stay in his own study, although the book is my partner, can let I dare not to mind empty, but sometimes standing to the window and saw the children of the same age with me on the ground to play, there is sweet smile on her face, in the heart how envy.

So, every day I see it, and have a headache, how much I yearn for freedom, I hate being at home, live a life they want, how perfect it is!!!

"The birds have belong to own sky, fish have belong to own lake, the grass has belongs to own the land, the flowers have their own sunshine, why cant I have my own life?" My time of day, but god is one of my speaker, what can he reach to me?

Freedom, how much I yearn for freedom, if one day, I walked alone in the wilderness of fragrant, let the wind blowing my hair, as the grass on my feet, as the sun on my face, I will always be walking without the light of day, when one day, I went to the sea to the sea to speak my mind, pick up a conch tell my secret about it, have a dream that one day someone picked up it, slowly to get the ears to listen to tell my story, unknowingly going the rounds and mom, dad, you may hear this story? If I understand my heart, give me a piece of my own perfect life, give me that you want freedom?

Have you heard the story?

"Sometimes, I also want to be free!" I loudly Shouting, bouts of echo in my ears. How I hope to have a free world!

关在鸟笼里的小鸟，自由的空间是无限的，它们就如井底之蛙，整天待在狭小的空间里，得不到属于自己的自由生活。

每每看到他们，便想到自己，便感到同命相怜。

每天待在自己的书房中，虽说书是我的伴侣，可以让我不敢到心中的空虚，但有时站到窗前，看见与我同龄的孩子在空地上玩耍，脸上露出甜美的微笑，心中别提有多羡慕了。

每天如此，我便看到书就心烦，头痛，我是多么渴望得到自由，我讨厌被人拘束，过自己想要的生活，该是多么完美呀!

“鸟儿有属于自己的天空，鱼儿有有属于自己的湖泊，草儿有属于自己的土地，花儿有属于自己的阳光，我为什么就不能有属于自己的生活呢?”我对天长叹，但老天只是我的一个诉说者，他又能为我达到什么呢?

自由，我是多么渴望得到自由，若有一天，我独自漫步在花香弥漫的旷野上，任风儿吹拂我的头发，任草儿在我的脚上摆动，任阳光照射在我的脸上，我始终是漫无天日地走着，当某年某日的时候我来到大海边，对着大海说出我的心事，捡起一个海螺对着它说出我的秘密，梦想有一天有人捡起它，慢慢地拿到耳畔倾听着我那诉说的故事，不知不觉地一传十，十传百，妈妈，爸爸，你们也会听到这个故事吗?是不是明白了我的心事，给我一片属于我自己的完美生活，给我那想要的自由?

你们听到了那个故事吗?

“有时，我也想要自由!”我大声地呐喊着，一阵阵的回音传入我的耳畔。我是多么希望有着自由的世界啊!

The Flag of the World Health OrganizationThe World Health Organization (WHO) is a specialised United Nations agency which acts as a coordinator and researcher for public health around the world. Established on 7 April 1948， and headquartered in Geneva， Switzerland， the agency inherited the mandate and resources of its predecessor， the Health Organization， which had been an agency of the League of Nations.

The WHO is nearing success in developing vaccines against malaria and schistosomiasis and aims to eradicate polio within the next few years. The organization has already endorsed the worlds first official HIV/AIDS Toolkit for Zimbabwe from October 3， 2006， making it an international standard.

Computer

You’ve probably known about computers your whole life. But computers have not really been around for very long. Computers started to become popular with big companies in the 1960s. Computers didn’t become widespread in homes and schools until the 1980s.

冬天，大雪纷纷扬扬地下了起来。我们在小路上愉快地玩耍。所有的植物都屈服了，只有那冬青树在风雪中傲然屹立。动物们大多都冬眠了。在这僻静的冬天里，留下了冬姐姐的足迹。

我爱我的家乡。

There are many different “languages” in the world but really they are all bound by certain rules, they all have a format that they follow, all of them have nouns, verbs, tenses, and adjectives.

The Dragon Boat Festival comes from the story of qu yuan, a patriotic poet qu yuan out a good idea to rich countries qiangming, but not adopted by the king, he was kicked out of the palace. Qu yuan was so angry that he jumped into the miluo river. The local fisherman learned that he rowed a boat to the miluo river to the miluo river. Later, the bamboo tube was changed to zongzi, and the boat was changed to the dragon boat to commemorate qu yuan. Our family is very impressed with qu yuan, so we celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival every year.

The traditional custom of the Dragon Boat Festival is eating zongzi. Our family has a really good zongzi -- my mother. Every year during the Dragon Boat Festival, our whole family can eat delicious dumplings. Momma always said: the rice dumplings with reeds are the most fragrant. Therefore, every year, the mother of the Dragon Boat Festival USES the leaves of the reed to make zongzi. Before making zongzi, she prepared herself: boil the leaves of the reeds in the water and wash them separately. When the reed leaves were cold, she began to make zongzi. Her first three leaf, this three leaves into a cone, then put a date first, and then put on inside glutinous rice, middle to clip a few dates, the last thread tied leaves, a rice dumplings wrapped. Her dumplings are fat and big, like the old Buddha sleeping. After the dumplings have finished, mom put them in a pressure cooker for 40 minutes, then another three or four hours to make it taste and then eat it! My mothers dumplings are very fragrant, so that when I see the zongzi, I will eat them. So, when eating zongzi, I always eat a lot!

The Dragon Boat Festival besides the need to eat zongzi, also the dragon boat!

I like watching dragon boat RACES the most, and dozens of mariners, with their OARS, struggling to make their way to the drum, beat the drum and beat the drum. "Come on, come on! The outside cheerleaders were enthusiastic, thundering and cheering, and the sailors were forced to row harder. The scene of the dragon boat race was spectacular and enthusiastic.

Eating zongzi and racing dragon boat racing, the two traditional customs jointly knit together a hot and noisy Dragon Boat Festival.

There is a story that an old woman always feels unhappy, because when the sun comes out, she worries about her daughters business, because the girl sells umbrella. But when it rains, she stills feels unhappy for she worries about her another daugthers business. People tell her to change his point of view, when the it is fine, she can feel happy about her second daughters business and when it rains, she can be happy about her first daughters business. In that way, she will be a positive woman every day. We cant change the fact, but we can treat things in another way, so that we can be positive all the time.

When the second time he won, he cried out again though he did not have so

much pressure as before. The fans knew that he had a hard time after his first

great honor, people started to qustioned about his ability. But he proved

himself again.

Every player has his honor hour and the bad time, the more important is to

never give up, then honor will come again.

My hometown is beautiful place It stands near a wide river at the foot of low green hills. It has many tall buildings and wide streets. There are trees and flowers everywhere.

But it has not always been like that. In the old days, it was a sad dirty little town. Landlords and merchants lived in the few good houses. For the working people there were only dark, unhealthy rooms in old buildings and huts in narrow muddy streets. Nearly everyone was poor and many had no work.

Everything has changed since liberation. The people, led by the Party, have got rid of the mud and dirt. They have put up schools, theaters, shops and flats. They have an assembly hall and a hospital. Along the river they have built offices, hotels and parks. A lot of factories have sprung up. On the river, streamers and boats come and go busily, day and night. They carry the products of our industries to all parts of the country.

I love my hometown, and I love its people. They also have changed. Healthy and happy, they are going all out to build socialism.

A long time ago,there was an emperor who told his horseman that if he could ride on his horse and cover as much land area as he liked,then the emperor would give him the area of land he would have covered.

Sure enough,the horseman quickly jumped onto his horse and rode as fast as possible to cover as much land area as he could.He kept on riding and riding,whipping the horse to go as fast as possible.When he was hungry or tired,he did not stop because he wanted to cover as much area as possible.

Finally,the horseman came to a point when he had covered a substantial area but was exhausted and dying.He asked himself,"Why did I pushmyself so hard to cover so much land area?Now I am dying and I only need a very small area to bury myself."

The above strory is similar with the journey of our life.We push very hard everyday to make more money,to gain power and recognition.We neglect our health,time with our family and to appreciate the surrounding beauties and the hobbies we love.One day when we look back,we will realize that we dont really need that much,but then we cannot turn back time for what we have missed.

So,take it easy!Do what you want to do and appreciate nature.Life is fragile;life is short.Dont take life for granted.Live a balanced lifestyle and enjoy life!
