Kobe Bryant is the youngest child and only son of Joe and Pam Bryant.His parents named him after a kind of steak:the famous beef of Kobe,Japan,which they saw on a restaurant menu.

At the age of six,Kobe,his parents and two older sisters,Shaya and Sharia,moved to Italy,where his father began playing professional basketball.He became accustomed to the lifestyle and became fluent in Italian.At an early age,he learned to play soccer and his favorite team was AC Milan.

Bryant once said that if he had stayed in Italy,he would have stuck with soccer and would have tried to become a pro soccer player.In 1991,the Bryants moved back to the United States.A spectacular high school career at Lower Merion High School in the Philadelphia suburb of Lower Merion,brought national recognition.

While his SAT score of 1080[2] would have ensured his basketball scholarship to various top-tier colleges,the 17-year-old Bryant made the controversial decision to go directly to the NBA。

万恶的小偷：

我恨你！

小偷啊，你太笨了，就像灰太狼一样笨！不是我说你，你每次偷完东西脸都不红吗？而且你每次偷完东西都会被发现，说明你在这方面Notgood，你就要换一些光彩的事业，比如：做些小东西卖卖，借点钱买些种子种地，结了果收了再卖卖……你能做的太多了，为什么非要做一些黑的像我乌黑的头发一样的事呢？

小偷啊，你太令我失望了！有一次，我和妈妈去买项链，拿了好多好多的钱，这可不是小数目。你呀，非要盯上，我和妈妈在讨论那条项链好看时，你以为我们不注意，把妈妈的钱包偷走了。这时，我转过头，故意很惊讶，大叫：“你在干什么？”？这下你可倒霉了，人们都往你身上看，妈妈看到小偷手中的钱包，吓得大哭：“我的钱包！”人们知道了真相，你的脸也一下子红了，人们给你的都是一些热嘲冷讽，你的身上也有了抹不掉的光彩。

小偷啊，你赶紧换事业吧，要不我们每个人买东西都提心吊胆的。不只是我，可能全世界的人都觉得你应该换事业。

希望你早日改掉毛病，找到好的工作。

一个觉得你可恶的人：XX

Last winter holiday, I went to shanghai with my mother.

It＇s very cold in winter. There is snow and ice everywhere and you are always in a white world. You must wear warm clothes. The most exciting thing is playing with snow. Skating is also very interesting there.

I will＇ always remember shanghai, for the snow, the ice and all the beautiful things. I love shanghai.

With the general standard of living improving and the working week becoming shorter， more and more people are able to make a holiday trip to places of interest. While many like to join package tours fro convenience， I prefer to travel on my own.

I like travelling on may own not only because it costs much less but because it gives a great degree of independence and freedom. Travelling on my own， I’m my own boss； and can decide when to start on my way， where to linger a little longer and which spot can be skipped over to save energy or time for another spot. I can always adjust my plan. On the contrary， in a package tour you‘re deprived of as much freedom as in a military base. At the sound of the whistle， you have to jump up from a sound sleep and， with heavy-lidded eyes， hurry to the gathering place where you are collected and counted to board a coach. At the sight of the little flag waving， you must immediately take yourself away from the scenes you are marveling at and follow the guide whose sole interest is to cover all spots according to him strict schedule， regardless of the weather or your health condition.

True，you may encounter inconveniences if you travel inpidually，for instance， getting accommodations for the night and finding a place for meals. But nothing can be compared with the freedom which is vital to a person who takes a holiday trip mainly to escape from constraints of his routine life.

去年寒假，我和妈妈去了上海。

我将永远记住上海，因为雪，冰和所有美好的事物。我爱上海

The sun rises every day, and the tide rises and falls. The date on which the stone was marked on the wall with a stone on the island, the coconut water has no taste, the first eaten crab should be the worlds most delicious food, and later did not have any flavor. “ I invented the fire! ” and when he shouted the words excitedly, I really believed in the worlds “ fire ” indeed, it was invented by krishnamurti. Its more exciting than Edison invented the electric light, and is there anything more meaningful than that?

People can endure the pain of the body, can endure hunger, can endure the cold, but how can people tolerate long-term absolute loneliness? But the pocket watch Kylie, but fortunately there is volleyball become Weixin, followed from the mail. If a man is desperate, what he needs most is not his ideal for tomorrow, but whether he has friends today. Here by a netizen said: “ Kylies watch and make chuck feel love; let friends feel Weixin chuck friendship; open wings let mail chuck feel responsibility. ” even though he has guessed that Kylie must marry another friend, but he is Weixin talking to yourself, encourage a volleyball of their own, the mail sent to almost no possibility, but for now the police grams, their presence is enough, can let him feel the love and affection and responsibility, can let him continue to have the courage to survive and have a glimmer of hope. He is how to cherish these things, an impulse to chuck Wilson thrown out, he was so afraid to go back to “ WBL, sorry, I will not leave you ”.

The sea finally brought a sail &mdash to the crew; — a piece of iron. It was so precious that he could not wait to see what God would give him. He spent all the islands he could take as ropes, and made a sailing boat that was as important to him as Noahs ark. With a few coconut, together with the friend Weixin, leave this piece did not dare to think of living alone for four years the island, began to seek the rebirth of the airlines. When he gradually away from the island, looking back, is how complex feelings, perhaps all emotions can not be said, only in the heart of their own exclamation “ really can not believe! ”

The vast sea, a boat, a few nights of rain, is still in the sea, the sea ruthless friend Weixin away, chuck aware he will like this around like whale to stay the sea, but whale ah, here is your paradise of happiness, it is my grave!

The cargo ship arrived, and the cargo ship came in early, not late. “ Im not going to talk about the movie here; the plot must be arranged like this, ”. It seems not to chuck life. If he dies, you and I and all people will not be reconciled. “ Kylie — — ” only the most sincere hope that chuck survived Kylie let chuck in a long call to see the ship, “ Kylie — — ”

Chucks back, almost all of my friends than he is to be happy, after the disaster, chuck has no daxitaibei, let joy to my friends. If it turns out that Charlie has changed a lot, one of them is to understand how important it is to support and encourage friends. On the plane, he said to Stan, "“ when Marie died, I wasnt there. Im sorry. I should be there for you, &rdquo.";.

After dinner, chuck face a big table meal, when he saw the crabs, this very common dish, he has become a life-saving food, now think about it, really love a tired! The process lighter, lighter senior human wisdom invention, do not love, no matter how beautiful also, very low but I invented drilling wood fire, how do you appear in the table, rather than on the island!

Kylie, Kylies beloved, and the most difficult years to accompany her through his heart. “ I dont know what to say to her. What should I say?. &rdquo is going to see Kylie; Chuck! After she first thought lost chuck, was married to be at a loss what to do, chuck saw dental dentist Lucheri. Now, suddenly she appeared, and she was at a loss again. In the rainy night, Richard drove to Kylie. “ one thing I want to know ” chuck say this Kylie heart knew he wanted to know what — — how do you marry the dentist Lucheri! But they all understand this reason, on the island of chuck had already foreseen such a result, if not Lucheri, then would be someone else. But Chuck is clever, the director is also clever, chuck asked: “ the Tennessee football team in Nashville now? ” “ Oh, my days ” Kylie was so relieved, knew each other sadness is not necessary to open it so clear. I quite agree with the directors arrangement.

太阳每天在升起，潮起潮又落。察克用石头在墙上标记下在岛上度过的日期，椰子水已没有了任何味道，第一口生吃螃蟹应该是天下最美的佳肴，而后来也没有任何味道了。“我发明了火!”当察克兴奋的喊出这句话的时候，我真正的相信这世界的“火”确实是察克发明的。这要比爱迪生发明电灯更加让人振奋，还有比这更有意义的发明吗?

人可以忍受身体的伤痛，可以忍受饥饿，可以忍受寒冷，可是人要怎样才能忍受长期的绝对的孤独呢?还好有怀表里的凯莉，还好有排球变的维信，还好有跟着飘来的邮件。如果说在一个人绝望的时候他最需要什么，不是他对明天还有多大的理想，而是今天是否有朋友在鼓励。这里借一位网友的话：“凯莉的怀表和相片让察克感受到爱情;朋友维信让察克感受到友情;未打开的翅膀邮件让察克感受到责任。”尽管他已猜到凯莉肯定要另嫁他人，朋友维信只不过是他跟自己说话、鼓励自己的一只排球，那份邮件几乎没有继续送到的可能，但对于现在的察克，它们的存在已经够了，已经可以让他感受到爱情，亲情和责任了，已经可以让他继续有勇气生存下去并怀有一丝希冀了。他是多么珍惜这些东西，一次冲动察克把维信扔了出去，他又那样害怕的去找回来“维信，对不起，我再也不丢下你了”。

大海终于给察克送来一面帆——一块破铁皮。这已经弥足珍贵了，他无法再期待上帝会给他带来什么更好的赏赐。察克用尽小岛所有可以取之为绳的东西，做好一个对他来说如同诺亚方舟一样重要的帆船。带上几个椰子，和朋友维信一起，离开这片不敢再想起的独自生存了四年的荒岛，开始寻求重生之航。当他渐渐远离小岛，回头再望时，是怀有怎样复杂的心情，或许万般情绪不能言表，只会在心里对自己感叹“真不敢相信!”

茫茫大海，一叶孤舟，几夜风雨，依然是茫茫大海，海浪无情的把朋友维信带走了，察克意识道他将会像这身边的鲸鱼一样永留大海，可是鲸鱼啊，这里是你快乐的天堂，却是我的坟墓!

货船来了，货船在不早不晚的时候，在察克已经释然的时候终于来了。“在这里我不讨论电影故事情节必须如此安排”。看来察克的生命还不到归期。如若他死了，你，还有我和所有人都不会甘心的。“凯莉——”唯一的最真切的令察克怀有希望活下来的凯莉让察克在看到货船时发出久别的呼唤，“凯莉——”

察克的回来，几乎所有的朋友都比他自己要开心，是的，经过此次大难后，察克不再有大喜大悲，让欢喜留给朋友们。如果说这次经历让查理改变了很多，那么其中之一就是更明白对朋友的支持和鼓励多么重要。在飞机上他对史丹说：“玛丽去世时，我不在，对不起，我应该在你身边给你支持”。

饭后，察克面对一大桌的美餐，当他看到大闸蟹的时候，这个非常普遍的一道菜，曾经成为他救命的食物，现在想想，真是又爱有厌!那个工艺打火机，人类智慧发明的高级打火机，一点都不可爱，再怎么漂亮，也极抵不过我所发明的钻木之火，你怎么就只出现在这个餐桌上，而不是那个小岛上呢!

凯莉，察克所深爱的并且在他心底陪她走过最艰难岁月的凯莉。“我不知道该对她说些什么，我该说些什么呢。”查克快要见到凯莉了!而她先是以为失去了察克，不知所措以后，嫁给了曾为察克看过牙病的牙医卢杰里。现在察克突然出现了，她又不知所措了!还是那句话，终究要面对。雨夜察克驱车赶到凯莉那儿。“有件事情我很想知道”察克说出这句话时凯莉心里早就明白他想知道什么——你怎么嫁给了牙医卢杰里!可是这个原因他们都明白，在岛上察克就已经预见到了这样的结果，如果不是卢杰里，便会是另外的人。但察克是聪明的，导演也是聪明的，察克的问的是：“田纳西的足球队现在在纳什维尔?”“哦，我的天”凯莉如此松了一口气，彼此心知肚明的悲情没有必要再那么明朗的翻开来说。我很赞成导演这么安排。

My family has raised a cat, first came to my house, it was not used to call, after a week, it slowly accustomed to, and I play together, it is my best friend. I watched it grow day by day, and it was beautiful, and I could catch mice!
