冷空气来了有一阵子了，我整天呆在屋子里，由于没有事情做，我看了很多电影。当我在电影中看到海滩和阳光，我很想念阳光。今天我很幸运，太阳终于出来了，我决定外出走在，呼吸新鲜的空气。威风轻轻吹过我，我可以感觉得到春天的到来，我走进一家咖啡店，选了一张靠窗的桌子。我坐了下来，看着人们经过，我看到了各种各样的表情，我尝试着去解读。有一个女孩正在和他的男朋友聊天，也许他正在向她求婚，我从女孩甜蜜的微笑中就可以看出来。另外一个男人独自坐着，也许他正在等待他的妻子。我在明媚的午后度过了愉快的时光。

Nowadays, many school students smoke, and the number is growing increasingly, which makes school and parents worried.

如今，很多在校学生吸烟，而且人数不断增长，学校和家长对此很担心。

According to a survey, more than two fifths of the students smoke in a school. They often get extra money from their parents to pay for cigarette, but their parents usually do not realize it. Even, some students steal money to buy cigarette, which is really a serious event. For middle school students, smoking do more harm to them than to adults, which is not only harmful to the body, but also detrimental to thinking. Furthermore, smoking is also harmful to others. Experts say that the second-hand smoke do more harm to others than the smoker.

据调查，超过五分之二的学生在校吸烟。他们经常从父母那里得到额外的钱去买香烟，但是父母通常没有察觉到这一情况。有的学生甚至投钱来买香烟，这种情况真的很严重。对中学生来说，吸烟对他们的伤害比成年人更多，这不仅对身体有害而且对思维也有害。另外，吸烟对别人也是有害的。专家说，二手烟对别人的害处比对吸烟者的害处更大。

In short, smoking is a bad habit which wastes of money as well as do harm to health.

总之，吸烟是一个不良习惯，既浪费钱又有害健康。

if i were a boy again, i would practice perseverance more often, and never give up a thing because it was or inconvenient. if we want light, we must conquer darkness. perseverance can sometimes equal genius in its results. “there are only two creatures,” says a proverb, “who can surmount the pyramids—the eagle and the snail.”

if i were a boy again, i would school myself into a habit of attention; i would let nothing come between me and the subject in hand. i would remember that a good skater never tries to skate in two directions at once.the habit of attention becomes part of our life, if we begin early enough. i often hear grown up people say “ i could not fix my attention on the sermon or book, although i wished to do so” , and the reason is, the habit was not formed in youth.

if i were to live my life over again, i would pay more attention to the cultivation of the memory. i would strengthen that faculty by every possible means, and on every possible occasion. it takes a little hard work at first to remember things accurately; but memory soon helps itself, and gives very little trouble. it only needs early cultivation to become a power.

想必“狼来了”的故事对大家来说并不陌生：一个小孩，单纯的放牧小孩，为了图一时开心三番两次欺骗山下的村民说狼来了，从而博取人们的同情，以同情来开玩笑，导师人们对这小孩产生不予信任的态度。结果，一天，狼真的来了，这个小孩声嘶力竭的大喊救命，然而，人们以为这小孩又在乱来了，于是给予不理睬的态度，结果不想也知道，这个小孩和一群羊就这样命丧狼口，这个放牧小孩的教训，何不给曾经撒谎过的人敲下一个深深的警钟。

在我们学生身上，诚信就更为重要，处为新世纪时代的我们，背负着振兴国家的重任，我们必须做为社会的榜样。然而，考试作弊，作业抄袭等不诚实的行为却在学校频频发生，别以为这些都是小事，不用在意，从某个方面来看这确实是个小事，但是，深入的想想，这不是严重地损害了一个人的做人原则吗?如果，考试考砸了，但是这毕竟是自己完成的，这次考不好，下次再努力嘛!反之，如果你抄袭，作弊，成绩虽然很好，但是，你难道不会受到良心的谴责?

中国呼唤诚信，有了诚信规则，大家才能无论内心愿意或不愿意，至少行为上要可信。

也许你只是路旁一株普通的小草，无法如鲜花般灿烂迷人;也许你只是山涧一条不为人知的清泉，无法如大海般浩瀚奔腾;也许你只是芸芸众生中一平常之人，无法如伟人般惊天动地举世瞩目……你可以如此普通、平常、默默无闻，但绝不可以丢掉诚信这做人之本、立事之根，让诚信与我们同行如今社会上，信用越来越受人关注。而在这物欲横流的世界上，诚实信用的力量似乎越来越渺校作为一代青年，必须坚守诚信的阵地，只有用诚信的美酒来酿造生活，才能活出无悔的人生。

生活如酒，或芳香，或浓烈，或馥郁，因为诚实，它变得醇厚。

生活如歌，或高昂，或悲戚，或低沉，因为守信，它变得悦耳。

生活如画，或明丽，或黯淡，或素雅，因为诚信，它变得美丽。

生活如书，书中的字要我们用诚信认真去写，我们的生活要我们用诚信去呵护。

Time always passes quickly. In the blink of an eye it has to end. Now the burden is more and more big, the pressure will continue to increase. With one family expectations. I don’t want to let the family expectations become disappointed. So I’m trying. Now in order to their future happiness is struggling. I want to own a substantial future, give yourself a perfect life. Just don’t want to let myself down, leave regret memories. Some people always said to me: life is their own, happiness can only rely on their own efforts, do not always think what things are so simple. I think that makes sense, it has become my motto.

一说起我的奶奶，我的心里便充满了幸福感。我的奶奶今年已经50多岁了，可她看上去依然年轻、漂亮。在生活上，奶奶对我的照顾无微不至，在学习上，奶奶也是我的良师益友。

因为爸爸妈妈工作忙的缘故，我从小就在奶奶身边生活，我和奶奶有着一种特殊的感情，就好像在我们彼此的生命里谁都少不了谁一样。

有一次，快期末考试了，老师布置的作业可多了!奶奶一直陪在我的身边帮我听写、复习。要是有我不懂的数学题，她就会耐心地给我讲解，直到我完全理解为止。天气热的时候，奶奶会默默地把水杯放在我的课桌旁边，好让我在口渴的时候，喝的水不会那么烫。每当那个时候，我的心里就会有一种说不出的感动，好像那不是一杯水，那就是奶奶的爱。我的奶奶，她就是这样一直陪伴着我。

还有一次，因为天气的缘故，我感冒发烧了，奶奶一夜没睡，守在我的身边就是为了照顾生病的我，每过两个小时就会为我量一次体温，凉好开水喂我喝退烧药。睡的迷迷糊糊的我能感觉到额头凉凉的冷毛巾，那毛巾一夜都是凉凉的，让我发烫的身体有了一丝丝舒适的感觉。早上起来，我的烧退了，奶奶为我做了很丰富的早餐，奶奶让我多吃点，说吃好了身体才能恢复的好。我抬起头看到的却是奶奶憔悴的脸和红红的眼睛，低下头，我的眼泪顺着脸颊滑过，悄悄擦掉眼角的泪痕，我笑着抬起头对奶奶说：“奶奶，我没事儿了，你就别担心了。”奶奶开心地笑道：“没事了就好，没事了就好。”

这就是我的奶奶，她给了我全部的爱，我爱我的奶奶!我该怎么回报我的奶奶呢?我想，我不会让奶奶失望，我一定要好好学习，将来考上好的大学，让奶奶一生都为我骄傲!

诚信是我们中华民族的传统美德之一，无论在什么时候，诚信都是人们所必不可少的品质。

那什么是诚信呢？简单的说，“诚”就是诚实，不弄虚作假；“信”就是信任，对人讲信用，不欺诈坑弱。诚信就是待人处事真诚，讲求信誉，言必信，行必果，一言九鼎，一诺千金。

诚信是一种人人必备的优良品格。讲诚信的人，处处受欢迎；而不讲诚信的人，人们就会忽视他的存在，所以我们每一个人都要做到讲诚信。

可是现在，诚信随着时间的流逝渐渐地被人遗忘、丢弃，“地沟油”、“瘦肉精”等，无一不侵害着消费者的安全，有些商家为了赚取更多利益，丢掉诚信，去危害人们的生命安全，难道非得等到受到法律的审判，才肯罢休吗？

我不由自主地想到了我们中学生，我们是一个讲诚信的人吗？又有几个可以挺起胸膛说自己是呢？虽然有，但恐怕也是极少。有的人为了上网玩游戏而欺骗父母；有的人为了考出好成绩，选择了作弊；有的人犯了错误，当面认错一套，而背地里又是一套……我们一个接一个的谎言，就是一次又一次地违背了诚信，我们作为祖国未来的接班人，不要让我们的国家最终毁在我们缺乏诚信上。

我们中学生最应该讲诚信。青少年时期，是人生的黄金时期，是人生中最美好的时期，诚信是我们中华民族的传统美德，我们应该把诚信作为一个坐标，做老实人，说老实话，办老实事。像卖馒头的老奶奶那样，诚信对人，诚信对己，渐渐地我们社会将会有更多的人讲诚信，我们的社会将会更加地和谐，祖国也将会越来越美好而强大！

《狼来了》的故事，我相信每一个人都知道，结局也很清楚，我希望我们每个人都讲诚信，以诚信作为我们人生的原则，不要让《浪来了》的故事，再度上演。

让我们一起行动，从自己做起，做诚实守信的人吧！

The Olympic Games, first held in 776BC, has a history of more than one thousand years. The modern Games is held every four years. Many countries try their best to bid for hosting the Olympic Games. And every country does its best to get more medals in the Games.

There are five rings on the Olympic flag, which are considered to symbolize the five continents: Europe, Asia, Africa, Oceania and America. The Olympic motto is: "Swifter, higher, stronger." The Games can promote the understanding and friendship among different peoples and different nations.

Everybody has his or her interest， and interests differ widely from person to person because of age， sex health and education. To some extent， interest also reflects ones ability or wish. Interest plays an important part in our daily life. As a middle school student interest is of great importance in study. If you want to learn something well， you have to show interest in it， which is quite possible. Once you have found your way into the subject， you may have also found a world of curiosities.

In our times， interest may not only result in skill and knowledge but also lead to great inventions and discoveries. To be a successful person in the world one should develop ones interest.

从早到晚都热闹喧嚣的古城中，难得找到这样一条似乎与世隔绝的安静小道。青石板路铺得并不整齐，却充满了一种凌乱美，几块青石板中间还露出几星翠绿的青苔，又或一枝从墙头探出来的杏花、梅花，都让这条街道看起来像一副水墨画。

继续向前走，有一家小铺，里面挂着各种绣着苗家独有花纹的布料，还有一大袋棉花和羽毛。店门口架起一块桌板，上面放着几双做工细腻的虎头鞋，还有几个姑娘小子们爱耍的鸡毛毽子。

每每经过，我们都能看见一对母女坐在店门口，老母亲眯着眼，低着头给虎头鞋的虎头塞棉花，女儿则在一旁纳鞋底，忙完便又急着给键子粘羽毛。阳光洒在老母亲银色的发梢上/撒在女儿黝黑的皮肤上，一切都显得很美好。

每次路过那家小店，你都会发现门口放的虎头鞋花式都不同，有时是青白花纹，有时是红黄花蝶纹，与古城韵味有些相似。我阿姨的孩子小时候就穿的是这家店买的虎头鞋，阿姨时常跟我讲：“那家店的虎头鞋可良心了，底子又厚又软，穿着漂亮又暖和，不会起冻疮，可好了!”大概这也是吸引回头客的原因吧。

我时常仔细端详着这母女俩，穿着苗族的服饰，但为了做工方便，头饰就不那么大，她们的手灵巧的很，一会儿制成一个花儿，一会儿织出个耳朵，一会儿又绣出一张老虎脸来。我再仔细看看，那银针细线在手里灵巧地飞来飞去，时而又用中号剪子裁一下，时而又用缝纫机打一下。那种老式的缝纫机，我家也有一台，是得靠脚踩来运作，下面有一个类似乎汽车油门似的脚踏，只要一踏，旁边一个比我书包还大点儿的轮轴就转起来了，一旁的线轴也飞快的转起来，两块布叠一块儿，在这缝纫机上一撮，就打好啦。俩母女一个裁布、塞棉花，一个打布。不一会儿，一个虎头鞋就做好啦。细细一看，她们的食指偏虎口处有一些小茧，不过，翻飞的手指很是灵活。

这家小铺在这儿很多年了，这对母女也成了我对这座古城的最深刻的印象，她们的手像魔法师的手，一双又一双的虎头鞋，从她们手中跳跃出来，顾客们的一致好评，是她们做裁缝，最大的自信。

My high school life, nothing exciting - from flat to start, but also in the flat end. Can not call it exciting, but it can not be pleased to lament the difficult, but it can not be portrayed as odd. But "dull" is not possible to rub out the highlights of my life, but it will show a more bright, brilliant ... ... 我的高一生活平平淡淡——是从平淡中开始，又是在平淡中落幕。既不能称之为精彩，又不能欣然去感叹它的艰难，更不能将它描写得那样曲折离奇。但“平淡”是不可能抹杀掉我生活中的亮点的，反而会将它呈现得更加明亮，辉煌……

Long and short years, I learned the most important thing, not a textbook knowledge of those endless, but people learned how to do - to get along with everyone in the days, I learned a technique called "unity" thing, it allows us to hear the voice of 54 hearts beat together; short life in boarding school a few months, I learned to "inclusive", which is a blend of our strength; in ride out the storm with friends when I know the "concern", a pair of "It better to give than to receive." The best interpretation of ... Yes, I learned a lot of things like that, they are impossible to find in the textbook knowledge, they can not be called a capability. They are the people, heart to heart between the alternating collision, can really feel the same things, maybe you can in an instant perception of their true meaning, but maybe you really can not fathom the life out of the mystery ... ...

Perhaps this is my high school life, perhaps it will make you feel very empty, but it really is I want to sway the hearts of all, but I am very clumsy, but seemingly meaningful words can not make you feel I feel nothing at this moment ... ... 漫长而又短暂的岁月里，我学到的最为重要的东西，并不是课本上那些层出不穷的知识，而是学到了应该怎样去做人——在与大家一起相处日子里，我学会了一种叫做“团结”的东西，它能让我们听到 54颗心一起跳动的声音;在住校几个月的短暂生活里，我学会了“包容”，这是一种将我们融为一体的力量;在与好友共度的难关之时，我懂得了“关心”，一个对“ It’ better to give than to receive.”的最好诠释……是的，我学到了很多诸如此类的东西，它们都是在课本中所无从寻觅的知识，它们也不能被称作是一种能力。它们是在人与人，心与心之间，交替碰撞的时候，才能真正所感受到的东西，也许在瞬间你就可以感悟它们的真谛，但也许你真的就一辈子也无法参透出其中的玄机…… 也许这就是我的高一生活，也许它会让您觉得很空洞，但这确实是我内心深处所想要挥洒出的一切，只不过我那些看似隽永却笨拙无比的文字无法让您感受到我此时此刻的心情罢了……

I have a dream , but I darent say my dream is.....

Now I dare say : My dream is that Ill be admited to Qinghua

University.when I was a child, I had heard the highest school Qinghua. The words

often drives my heart. I keep it away for eleven years . However, I am almost

make it come true, because Im not good at studying subjects, my math ,my

felling myself to change mind to it is that studying is an important thing. If

you want to be good at it , you must finish the studying quickly and correctly

in a sure time, and the most important is that you must know the book well and

understand every rule and after that you may do some practice to improve your

testing cile .At last you must review them ,because the peoples brain is

limited , and it will make you forget all of you have studied it .

At last you must keep a good health and have a good felling. Look, this is

a true senior three student.

Qinghua, please open your door, Im running to you now.

“不积跬步，无以至千里;不积小流，无以成江海。”人生之事，事在人为。只是凡事讲究个过程积累。千万别抱有一蹴而就的奢望，哪管它是不是神话。一劳永逸的心理实不可取!成功之法就是得慢慢来。

马克思学说认为：“量变是质变的必要准备。”当量变到达某个“高度，”就会促成质变。成功之道即是如此：你必须作出代价，甚至用血泪去交换。但往往有时候，失之毫厘会差之千里，付出也不一定有回报。于是你灰心、沮丧乃至绝望。而事实上，你离成功可能不过是一步之遥。只要你仔细想想，那结果就大为不同了!是的，面对困难挫折，不要轻易说不。也许你现在没有成功，但你有没有想过，也许你正在成功，并且马上就要成功!古人云：“锲而舍之，朽木不折;锲而不舍，金石可镂。”说的正是这个道理。人，必须要有一颗持之以恒、不断进取、自强不息的心!不轻易说不并非愚昧顽固。相反，它是要我们理性思考，凡事不要做之冲动，言之太早!“塞翁失马，焉知非福?”到底“一分耕耘，总会有一分收获的!”懂得了这个道理，人之境界自然也算是开阔了!常言道：“勿以恶小而为之，勿以善小而不为!”

所谓善事义举，我们自当积极相应，不轻易拒绝。而面临诱惑陷阱，我们则应坚决、肯定地说：“不!”这也是“不轻易说不”的另外一番诠释!名利、权位是个陷阱。纵观历史，类如李斯贪权弑主、和珅恋财搜刮民脂者，一个个数不胜数!还看今朝，诸如成克杰、赖昌星等图名谋利之辈，一个个“继往开来!”他们放弃了人原有的良知本性，换来的是被永远钉在历史的铁柱上!真是“古今多少事，都付笑谈中!”一个人，不轻易说不，往往是他的毅力所在。但有时候，更是智慧的所在!面对汉室衰弱，曹操“不轻易说不，”而是“迎天子以令诸侯!“才有了后来的三分天下有其二。面临市场经济是“姓社”还是“姓资”的问题，邓老也没有“轻易说不，”因而才有了后来的“试一试”和改革开放!俗话说得好：“实践出真知!”

只有善于牢牢把握事物的客观规律，才能获得成功!“不轻易说不!”现在开始磨炼你的意志，解放你的思想，为美好明天打下最坚实的基础!

Today, I according to the requirements of the teacher to investigate around the situation of environmental protection.

I first came to the park, they saw there is rubbish everywhere. My eyes have an aunt, she sat on the bench, eating melon seeds, also threw the sunflower seeds are all over the floor. I have seen very angry, I go to aunt ZuQuan. But she has a pair of claptrap, on high. I saw a cleaner in cleaning, but the speed of people around the rubbish much faster than they clean.

And I went to the park on the east side of the river, see plastic bags floating on the water, biscuits, bags... There are a few small fishs body even, sending out the thick disgusting smell.

I went to the vegetable market, see the ground is covered with rotten vegetables leaf, fruit, and poultry feathers and viscera, so dirty ground let my feet wouldnt hurt a fly. Oh dear! Too bad! I stepped on a banana skin and wrestling, pants are wet! I quickly get up, hurriedly escape.

The surrounding environment is terrible, if he did not pay attention to protect, we human beings will not survive. Lets act together, protect the environment, start from the "I".

今天，我按老师的要求去调查周围环境保护的情况。

我先来到公园，就看见那儿到处都是垃圾。我眼前有一个阿姨，她坐在石凳上，吃着瓜子，还把瓜子壳扔得满地都是。我看见了很生气，就去阻劝阿姨。可她却一副事不关己，高高在上的样子。我看见有清洁工在打扫卫生，可是周围人扔垃圾的速度远比他们打扫的要快得多。

我又来到了公园东侧的小河边，看见水面上漂浮着塑料袋、饼干包装袋……甚至还飘着几条小鱼的尸体，散发着一股股令人作呕的气味。

我来到了菜市场，看见地上尽是烂菜叶、烂水果，还有还有家禽的羽毛及内脏，这么脏的地面让我的脚都不敢踩下去了。哎呀!糟了!我踩在香蕉皮上摔跤了，裤子都被弄湿了!我赶紧爬起来，慌忙逃离。

周围的环境简直糟透了，若再不注意保护，我们人类定将无法生存。让我们一起行动起来吧，保护环境，从“我”做起。

In my opinion, the schoolwork now being assigned to high school students is too heavy. while it is true that students need to study, they need other things as well if they are to grow into healthy and well-rounded adults. high should be allowed more time for play. plying is not wasting time, as some think. it gives them physical exercise, and also exercise their imagination. which tends to be stifled by too much study.

Finally, the pressure put on high school students by excessive schoolwork can cause serious stress, which is unhealthy physically and mentally. i do not advocate the elimination of schoolwork. i do think, however, that a reduction of the current heavy load would be beneficial to students and to the society as a whole.

The cold air has come for a while, I stayed at my house all the time, as

there was nothing for me go do, I watched the movies. When I saw the beach and

sunshine in the movie, I miss the sunshine so much. Today is lucky for me, the

sun finally comes out, I decide to go out for a walk and take in the fresh air.

The breeze blows me softly, I can sense the coming of spring, I walk into a

coffee shop and choose a table which is near the window. I sit down and watch

people just walk by, I see all kinds of face expressions, I try to read them.

There is a girl who is talking to his boyfriend, maybe he is proposing her, I

can see from the girl’s sweet smile. There is another man sitting alone, may he

is waiting for his wife. I have a great time in the bright afternoon.

I like my school life very much,it is very interesting.I usually reach school at half past seven.Then we do morning exercises at eight oclock.We have eight lessons every day.

Should students make friends on line ?Some people say yes .The internet helps make many friends .Chatting on line ,students can more freely express their feelings and opinions ,and even get help with their foreign language studies .

Others ,however, think students should not .They say making friends on line is a waste of time ,which should be spent more meaningfully on study .Besides ,some students get cheated on line.

It is my opinion that students should place their study ,health and safety before other things .As for friendship ,we can readily find it in our classmates and other people around us.

随着电脑的发展，人们很依赖电脑，现在大部分的生意都在网上成交，网上交易节省了人们很多时间，也很方便。随着越来越多的人选择网上购物，相应的服务应运而生，其中最重要的就是快递。很多年以前，快递并不是那么的受欢迎，现在它成为了人们接收网上产品的主要交通工具。快递很快速，公司承诺顾客可以在三天内收到他们的产品。很多年以前，人们能在一周内收到他们的产品，现在快递缩短了时间。而且，快递能把产品送到客人的家里，人们不用走出去，这是多么方便啊。我喜欢使用快递，它方便了我的生活，节省了时间。

Whether sixty or sixteen, there is in every human beings heart the lure of

wonders, the unfailing childlike appetite of whats next and the joy of the game

of living. In the center of your heart and my heart there is a wireless station:

so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and power from

men and from the infinite, so long are you young.

An individual human existence should be like a river—small at first,

narrowly contained within its banks, and rushing passionately past boulders and

over waterfalls. Gradually the river grows wider, the banks recede, the waters

flow more quietly, and in the end, without any visible break, they become merged

in the sea, and painlessly lose their individual being.

Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity, of the

appetite for adventure over the love of ease. This often exists in a man of

sixty more than a boy of twenty. Nobody grows old merely by a number of years.

We grow old by deserting our ideals.

Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.

Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust.
