true beautyeveryone is attracted by beauty and beauty is powerful. but what is true beauty? perhaps you can get the answer from the following story.this morning i went to the market to buy some vegetables with my parents. on the way we all highly praised a young man in western-style clothes and leather shoes who was riding by. but he rode so fast that he knocked an old lady down carelessly.instead of stopping, he pretended not to see this and rode away quickly. we were all very angry with the young man. to our happiness, a girl in plain dress ran forward at once, helped the lady up and took her home. we all praised the girl.from this we know we cannot judge a person by his appearance. a person who is dressed beautifully may not have a beautiful soul. only a person who has a beautiful soul is really beautiful.

每个人都会被美所吸引,荚有强大的力量。但是什么是真正的美呢?或许你可以从下面的事情中得到答案。今天早上我和父母一起去市场买蔬菜,路上我们都赞叹一个西装革履的正骑车经过的年轻人。但是他骑得太快了,不小心把一位老妇人撞倒在地。而他却假装没看到,飞快地骑走了。我们都生那个年轻人的气。让人欣慰的是,一个穿着朴素的女孩立刻跑过来,扶起老人并把她送回了家。我们都夸奖这个小女孩。由此我们知道了,不能通过外表来判断一个人。一个身穿华服的人可能没有美好的心灵,拥有美丽灵魂的人才是真正美丽的。

不知不觉,我初中毕业了,这个原本我会非常开心的时候,心情却非常的复杂。

初三下学期就这样平淡地结束,这意味着我们要永远告别陪伴我三年的学校,告别三年来朝夕相处的同学。而迎接我们的是一个未知的世界。

在以前总是听父母说珍惜美好青春,时间不等人之类的话,心里总是不以为然,。到了现在,我才深深的体会到时光如水的含义。夜里无人,四周一片寂静,学校的一幕幕经常会浮现在我的的眼前。锦州军训、五里河运动会、沃尔玛岗位体验、参观海城少管所……这一切还向刚刚发生过那样清晰。但是已经离我们很遥远了。

过去的用换不回再回来,正如张老师说的一样,不会有人两次同时踏入同一条河里。能留给我们的也仅仅是回忆。每当回忆起那些和我一起哭、一起笑过的同学,那一件件学校中发生的小事,再想到这些永远也不会再回来,不禁让我为之落泪。

初中毕业了,我将读高中,在那里,我会认识新的朋友,不过,我不会忘记我的初中生活的。

Before I knew it, I had graduated from junior high school。

This is the end of the first trimester, which means that we have to say goodbye to my three years of school and the students who have spent three years together。 And we are greeted by an unknown world。

In the past, always listening to the parents say that cherishing the good youth, the time waits for the words, the mind always not to think,。 Now, I am deeply aware of the meaning of time。 There was no one in the night, and there was silence all around, and the curtain of the school often appeared before my eyes。 The golden state military training, the wuli river games, the wal—mart post experience, the visit to the juvenile canal in the sea。。。 Its all just as clear as it has been。 But its far from us。

In the past, I would not return again, as Mr Zhang said, but no one would step into the same river twice。 The only thing that can be left for us is memory。 Every time I remember those who cried and laughed with me, the little things that happened in the school, and the thought of never coming back, I cried for it。

I will go to high school。 I will meet new friends there, but I will not forget my junior high school life。

He always rose early to enjoy at least two hours of solitude in the house

and garden before the rest of the family came down In winter he spent most of

the time reading and writing. In sum mer he liked to get out of doors to work in

the kitchen garden or to take the dog for a walk in the neighbouring woods and

fields Whatever the weather, there was plenty to occupy him.

Although he was a creature of habit, there seemed to be an infinite variety

in his pursuits. He wrote book reviews regularly for two of the national

weeklies. He worked conscientiously his special subject, Indian History, and was

thus one of the world authorities on it;

he collected modern abstract paintings and so had a circle of friends

amongst artists and sculptors; there was hardly anything he did not know about

traditional jazz and he often entertained both British and America n jazz

musicians He was a superb cook and knew a lot about French and German food.

His family adored him and in a sense he was spoiled by them. At first

glance you would have taken him for a retired army officer-his bearing was

erect, his hair was cut short, he was fussy about his clothes, which were always

neat, clean and conventional. He liked to keep fit, and this was reflected in

his clear, steady blue eyes and healthy suntanned complexion. He hardly ever

watched TV, but enjoyed a good film and an occasional evening at the

the mid-autumn or moon festival is one rich in poetic(诗意的) significance. ancient legends(古代的传说) that became interwoven with this festival‘s celebration further contribute to the warm regard in which it has always been held by the chinese people. according to the lunar calendar(农历), the seventh, eighth, and ninth months constitute the autumn season. mid-autumn festival falls on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month, precisely in the middle of this season, when the heat of the summer has given way to cool autumn weather, marked by blue skies and gentle breezes. on this day the moon is at its greatest distance from the earth; at no other time is it so luminous. then, as the chinese say, “the moon is perfectly round.” in the villages the heavy work involved in the summer harvest has already been completed but the autumn harvest has not yet arrived.

the actual origins of the mid-autumn festival are still very unclear. the earliest records are from the time of the great han dynasty emperor wu di (156-87 b.c.), who initiated celebrations lasting three days, including banquets and “viewing the moon” evenings on the toad terrace. we know that people during the jin dynasty (265-420 a.d.) continued the custom of mid-autumn festival celebrations, and similar accounts have come down to us from the time of the tang dynasty. during the ming dynasty (1368-1644) houses and gardens were decorated with numerous lanterns and the sound of gongs and drums filled the air.(qiewo.com)

moon cakes came on sale shortly before festival time. in the past, one could get some cakes shaped like pagodas, others like a horse and rider, fish or animals. still others were decorated with the images of rabbits, flowers, or goddesses. there were a myriad of different fillings available: sugar, melon seeds, almonds, orange peel, sweetened cassia blossom, or bits of ham and preserved beef. the cakes are of the northern and southern styles, but the latter (also called guangdong-style) are the most popular and are available throughout the country.

the round shape of cakes just symbolizes not only the moon but also the unity of the family. therefore the mid-autumn festival is actually a day for family reunion.
