Nowadays, electronic music is very popular around the world. First

electronic music got popular from Lady Gaga, her creative dressing styles caught

peoples attention and then people started to notice her music. They fell in

love with her electronic music. Unlike rock and roll music, electronic music is

more favorable by me. It makes me excited and I am totally lost in the wonderful

music. Once my friends and I went to a music festival. There were so many people

standing there and listening to the music. Especially when the DJ came out and

everybody got excited. When the DJ played electronic music, my friends and I

shook our bodies and joined the crowd to dance. It was such a wonderful

experience for me. I will never forget the power of electronic music. It brings

people together and share the same emotion.

七夕别称“星期”。王勃的《七夕赋》“伫灵匹于星期，眷神姿于月夕”把星期与月夕相提并论，点出了一年四季中与亲情、与爱情相关的最美好、也最凄楚动人的两个夜晚。大约正因如此吧，后人便把男女成婚的吉日良辰叫作“星期”。

在晴朗的夏秋之夜，天上繁星闪耀，一道白茫茫的银河象一座天桥横贯南北，在河的东西两岸，各有一颗闪亮的星星，隔河相望，遥遥相对，那就是牵牛星和织女星。

七夕坐看牵牛织女星，是民间的习俗，相传，在每年的这个夜晚，是天上织女与牛郎在鹊桥相会之时。织女是一个美丽聪明、心灵手巧的仙女，凡间的妇女便在这一天晚上向她乞求智慧和巧艺，也少不了向她求赐美满姻缘，所以七月初七也被称为乞巧节。

人们传说在七夕的夜晚，抬头可以看到牛郎织女的银河相会，或在瓜果架下可偷听到两人在天上相会时的脉脉情话。

女孩们在这个充满浪漫气息的晚上，对着天空的朗朗明月，摆上时令瓜果，朝天祭拜，乞求天上的仙女能赋予她们聪慧的心灵和灵巧的双手，让自己的针织女红技法娴熟，更乞求爱情婚姻的姻缘巧配。过去婚姻对于女性来说是决定一生幸福与否的终身大事，所以，世间无数的有情男女都会在这个晚上，夜静人深时刻，对着星空祈祷自己的姻缘美满。

在花园里、树林里，环境有许多的变化，比如：草变绿了，花变红了，树变多了，水变清了，草变少了，尾气变多了……

In the garden, the forest environment, there are many changes, such as: the grass is green, the flowers red, the trees become more, the water clear, grass less gas, more......

我先去访问了一下姑姑，姑姑说："我们家前面以前的小花园，花特别多，但在最近，许多花都枯死了，有的已经被摘了，不过有些人还在种树、种花，绿化花园。”

Im going to visit your aunt, aunt said: "before the small garden in front of our house, spend much more special, but in recent years, many flowers withered, and some have been picked up, but some people are planting trees, flowers, green garden."

我再去访问了一下爸爸，爸爸说："在姑姑家前面的西桥的下面有一条大河，以前那里河水很清澈，像镜子一样。就因为乱丢垃圾、乱排污水、洗涤……因此河水变得很混浊、很黑、很臭，河里的小鱼小虾也无法生存了。”

I went to visit my dad, dad said: "there is a river in front of the aunt of the West Bridge, where before the water is clear, like a mirror. Because littering, indiscriminate discharge of sewage, washing...... Therefore, the river becomes very muddy, very black, very smelly, river shrimp and small fish cannot survive."

我们应该做到保护环境、绿化环境、人人都能关心起来，才能让我们的环境更优美，大自然更加美丽。

We should do Protect environment, greening the environment, everyone can care about, to make our environment more beautiful, more beautiful nature.

In school,we have summer vacation.In summer,the weather is so hot that our

brain needs a rest after a period of hard work.Thus it is for health reasons

that we have our summer vacation.

There are many kinds of sports,which are good for health in summer,such as

swimming,tennis and baseball.But care should be taken not to practice such

sports all day long,which would be very bad for our health.

Another point we have to consider is that our time should not be spent

entirely in playing.We attend school in order to get some knowledge,which will

be useful in our life

It is said that Chinese parents are the worlds most responsible parents,

since the kids are born, they start to plan everything for the children, they

choose the school, the kids hobby even the kids partners. Chinese parents want

to raise their kids to be the excellent ones, they put so much hope on the kids.

While it is also said the Chinese kids are the worlds most unhappy kids,

because they live as what the parents tell them, they dont have their own

thinking. www.yyzw.com Both sides reflect Chinese family situation that the

parents give the children too much pressure, the children feel unhappy about

their parents expectation. Indeed, I feel the way, my parents always want me to

be the No.1, they tell me I should get the highest score, I feel tired, I tell

them how I feel, then they begin to realize their expectation has become a

burden for me. parents should give space to their kids.

In the growth, there are always some lingering worries. As the ancients said: "people have sensitized, yuan, there are rain or shine." Why do peoples lifetime will not be smooth? I am no exception! Growth has given me endless happiness, but also bring many troubles to me from time to time: for growth, I with the feelings of a kind of desire, but somewhat bored.

The first: much homework. Though the teacher is decorated very little, but mother is three times of assignment, let me test the mountain every day. Go home at night, the first thing is to do my homework, then chew my everybody.

The second: less time. Can also play at school, at home, in addition to eat, when they dont have time to play the other time was spent on learning.

Third: friends less. Grow up, boys play with boys, girls like girls to play, if the boy and the girl talk, everyone else will be so good friends less, "enemy" had more.

Fourth: the demand is high. When I was a child, live carefree, free. Now, as the fifth grade students I have grown up, not as a child, do things to be careful, focused, after all, I have grown up. The carefree days are far...

Growth, although gave me a lot of trouble, but also bring me much happiness. At the same time, also because of the growing pains, I know a lot of, also aware of the many, many... Happiness and troubles can be compared them into a piece of a piece of paving stone, they are connect the leak, the road to success!

在成长中，总有些挥之不去的烦恼。就如古人说的：“人有悲欢离合，月有阴晴圆缺。”人的一辈子为什么不会一帆风顺呢?我也不例外啊!成长给了我无穷的快乐，但也不时给我带来不少的烦恼：对于成长，我带着一种渴望的心情，但又有些厌烦。

第一：作业多了。虽然老师布置得很少，但妈妈却布置了3倍的作业，让我每天都啃书山。晚上回家，第一件事是做作业，接着就是啃我的书山了。

第二：时间少了。在学校里还可以玩，到了家，除了吃饭时就没时间玩了，其他时间都花在学习上。

第三：朋友少了。长大了，男生跟男生玩，女生就跟女生玩，要是男生跟女生玩就会被人议论，所以好朋友少了，“仇人”却多了。

第四：要求高了。当我还是小孩时，生活得无忧无虑，自由自在的。可现在，身为小学五年级学生的我已经长大了，不在是小孩了，做起事来要小心翼翼，思前想后，毕竟我已经长大了。无忧无虑的日子已经远了……

成长，虽然给了我不少烦恼，但也为我带来了不少快乐。同时，也因为这些成长的烦恼，令我懂得了许多，也意识到了许多许多……快乐与烦恼就可以把它们比喻成一块一块的铺路石，它们毫无漏缝的连接着，通向成功的路!

"...5, 4, 3, 2, 1 Ignite! Go!" On October 15, 2003, China launched its

first manned spacecraft into orbit from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Centre in

Northwest Chinas Gansu Province.

Spraying a mass of orange flames, the large, white Long March II-F rocket

carrying the Shenzhou-V spacecraft and Chinas first astronaut Yang Liwei soared

spectacularly skyward, gradually becoming a bright ball betore vanishing into

deep space.

As the worlds largest developing country, China is more than proud of

making its own contribution to human beings outer space exploration. Meantime,

it will turn out to be an important driving force for the countrys economic and

social development.The successful launch of Shenzhou-V ushered in a new chapter

in space history.

In recent years, thousands and thousands of people leave the comforts of their homes to study in countries such as united states,Canada,England and so on. Whats more, more and more people study abroad become younger. Why do they do it? The problem is worthy of serious consideration.

Everything has tow sides. Not only has the advantages but also has disadvantages, including studying abroad. On the one hand, the developed countries are more advanced in education, philosophy and teaching facilities, students can receive better education. On the other hand , different countries have different cultural .Contacting with with different people on their own is also a kind of exercise. People learn about the culture of other countries , they can improve their connotation of self–cultivation. Its benefical for us to develop in the future. Not only can they make more friends ,but also they can learn more languages.

But living and studying in another countries can also have its problem. On the one hand, if the students age is too small, its difficult for them to solve the problem of life. They bear a great pressure, not just the life pressure,but more of psychological pressure. Todays students lack of lief experience,live a long time in foreign country, the kind of homesickness and persistent loneliness, not everyone can handle! On the other hand,study abroad is expensive.A lot of families do not have this ability. Its difficult to adapt to the local customs and hard to commuication with other People. So I think that when students have a Strong physique, positive attitude and good ability to adapt, they can consider to study abroad.

As we know,There is denying that there are many advantages in study abroad . In my opinion.For some wealthy families, they can afford the expensive in foreign countries.Due to the rapid development of economy in recent years, more People study abroad has became an inevtable trend.

If I have the chance to go abroad to study, I want to go to USA. First of all.I Will learn the local language,so that i can solve the language barrier. Then, I Will choose the computer professional.I must be hardworking,because my goal is to get a masters degree. Then, IWill work for a few yeas after I graduate.It can help me to accumulate experience, and then,I Will go to the famous city Silicon Valley of America to apply for a technical staff. But I cant stay in a foreign countries all the time. In order to serve the motherland,i Will return to our ”Big House" when I become a good technical personnel. I believe that many People dream to study abroad. I am no exception! There are many good things waiting for us to discover in the world ! So I want to go abroad. In this way ,I can learn more knowledge and culture.

To be honest, studying abroad has really so many benefits.Good luck for you if you plan to study abroad!

I grew up in a small village. I am the second child of the family, and my sister is the eldest. Our house is on the main street of the village so I always saw a lot of people on the streets There were farmers, fishermen, and a few merchants in the village. My sister and I used to play with the next-door children; their father is an elementary school teacher. Sometimes when we played together in the house we made so much noise that my mother wanted us to play outside, so we went to the seashore to look for crabs and clams, and pretty seashells, too. Also, we enjoyed running on the beach chasing each other. On breezy days we used to enjoy flying kites on the beach. When I look back on my early life in the village, I feel I had a happy childhood.

我在一个小村庄里长大。我的第二个孩子的家庭，和我的姐姐是老大。我们的房子是在村里的大街，所以我总是看到很多人在街上有农民，渔民，和村里几个商人。我的妹妹和我经常玩邻家的孩子;他们的父亲是小学教师。有时，当我们发挥我们在房子里做了这么多的噪音，我的母亲希望我们在外面玩，所以我们去海边寻找螃蟹和蛤蜊，和美丽的贝壳，太。同时，我们喜欢跑在沙滩上互相追逐。在起风的日子里，我们喜欢在海滩上放风筝。当我回头看我的早期生活在村里，我觉得我有一个快乐的童年。

Today, more and more young people are crazy about western festivals. When western festivals come, they usually go to restaurants or shopping malls to have fun.

如今，越来越多的年轻人都对西方的节日着迷。当西方节日到来的时候，他们常常去餐厅或是商场娱乐。

Why do the young enjoy western festivals so much? Since they worship everything new, and they can’t resist the temptation. In their opinions, western festivals symbolize the fashion, while our Chinese traditional festivals are out of date. No wonder we always feel so boring during our traditional holidays. If we still turn a blind eye to our traditional festivals, our culture and civilization will disappear someday. Accordingly, it is high time for us to pay close attention to our Chinese festivals.

为什么年轻人这么喜爱西方节日呢?大抵是因为他们喜爱新鲜事物，抗拒不了诱惑。在他们看来，西方节日代表着时尚，而中国传统节日则太土了。这也难怪我们也觉得我们的传统节日太过无聊了。如果我们对传统节日漠然置之，那么某天我们的文化文明终会消失。因此，我们该多多关注我们中国自己的节日了。

As a Chinese, we have the obligation to protect our culture and custom. So I think we should celebrate our Chinese festivals by doing some traditional activities. As for western festivals, we needn’t to be too excited about them. We can just send our best wishes to our best friends during those festivals.

作为一名中国人，我们有责任保护自己的文化习俗。所以我认为应当在庆祝中国传统节日时候举办一些传统活动。而对于西方节日，我们不需要太过激动。在这些节日里我们应该只需简单的送上祝福就好。

Halloween is an observance celebrated on the night of October 31,most notably by children dressing in costumes and going door-to-door collecting candy.It is celebrated in much of the Western world,though most common in the United States,Most other Western countries have embraced Halloween as a part of American pop culture in the late 20th century.

So,although some cults may have adopted Halloween as their favorite "holiday," the day itself did not grow out of evil practices.It grew out of the rituals of Celts celebrating a new year,and out of Medieval prayer rituals of Europeans.And today,even many churches have Halloween parties or pumpkin carving events for the kids.After all,the day itself is only as evil as one cares to make it.

万圣节是纪念庆祝10月31日晚,尤其是在服饰打扮儿童和挨家挨户上门收集糖果.这是在庆祝西方世界很多,不过大多数在美国,大多数其他西方国家接受,作为美国流行文化在20世纪后期的一部分万圣节.

因此,尽管有些邪教可能采用为他们最喜爱的“节日万圣节,”这一天本身却没有增加邪恶的作法.它的前身是在庆祝新年凯尔特人仪式,并指出欧洲中世纪的祈祷仪式.今天,甚至很多教会万圣节南瓜雕刻政党或为孩子们的活动.毕竟,这一天本身是邪恶的,只是作为一个关心使然.

In China, students work so hard, they study day and night, for the purpose of getting the high mark, so that they can go to a better school, which will bring them more promising future. To get the study time as more as possible, some students move their books to the study room, they want to occupy the seat, so they put a lot of books as the sign that the seat has been taken by someone, other people can’t take this seat. In my opinion, studying hard is a good thing, working hard will lead people to success, while taking the seat for a long time is not a civilized behavior. It is a kind of wasting resource, when students are not here, but the seats are empty, they should be left for other students to study.

在中国，学生很努力学习，他们白天和晚上都在学习，只为了得到更高的分数，这样他们就可以进入到更好地学校，能给他们带来更加光明的前途。为了尽可能地更多时间学习，一些学生把他们的书本搬到了自习室，他们想要占位置，所以他们放了很多书，作为位置已被人占有的象征，别人不能做这个位置。在我看来，努力学习是一件好事，努力工作能让人们成功，但是长时间的占据位置不是文明的行为。这有点浪费资源，当学生不在学习时候，位置也是空的，他们应该把位置让给别的学生来学习。

i never considered myself unique, but people are constantly telling me, "you are a miracle." to me, i was just an ordinary "guy" with realistic goals and big dreams. i was a 19-year-old student at the university of texas and well on my way toward fulfilling my "big dream" of one day becoming an orthopedic surgeon.

我从未觉得自己与众不同，但人们常对我说：“你的生命是个奇迹。”对我而言，我只是一个普通人，有着现实的目标和远大的理想。我曾是德克萨斯大学一名十九岁的大学生，在通向理想之路上信步前行，梦想有一天我会成为一名整形外科医生。

on the night of february 17, 1981 i was studying for an organic chemistry test at the library with sharon, my girlfriend of three years. sharon had asked me to drive her back to her dormitory as it was getting quite late. we got into my car, not realizing that just getting into a car would never quite be the same for me again. i quickly noticed that my gas gauge was registered on empty so i pulled into a nearby convenience store to buy 2.00 worth of gas. "ill be back in two minutes," i yelled at sharon as i closed the door. but instead, those two minutes changed my life forever.

1981年2月17日的晚上，我和交往三年的女友沙伦在为有机化学测试做准备。因为太晚了，沙伦叫我驾车把她送回宿舍。我们钻进汽车，谁能想到在今后的生命中我不能再如此矫健地重复这样一个简单的动作。我很快发现油表空了，于是我把车泊在附近的一家便利店旁，想买两块钱的汽油。“我两分钟就回来，”我关上车门朝沙伦喊到。但就是这短短的两分钟改变了我一生的命运，永远地改变了。

entering the convenience store was like entering the twilight zone. on the outside i was a healthy, athletic, pre-med student, but on the inside i was just another statistic of a violent crime. i thought i was entering an empty store, but suddenly i realized it was not empty at all. three robbers were in the process of committing a robbery and my entrance into the store caught them by surprise. one of the criminals immediately shoved a .38 caliber handgun to my head, ordered me to the cooler, pushed me down on the floor, and pumped a bullet into the back of my head -- execution style. he obviously thought i was dead because he did not shoot me again. the trio of thieves finished robbing the store and left calmly.

进入这家便利店就如同踏上了阴阳间的奈何桥，门外的我还是个健康的，活蹦乱跳的未婚大学生，而门内的我却成了暴力犯罪的又一个牺牲品。我还以为店里没有人，但我突然发现我错了——有三个匪徒正在打劫这家店，而我的进入让他们有些惊慌失措。其中一个匪徒迅速掏出一把口径为38毫米的手枪用力指着我的头，勒令我走到冷冻机旁，然后把我推倒在地，像执行死刑般从后面朝我头部开了一枪。他没再朝我开第二枪，显然他以为我死了。打劫完后三个劫匪逃之夭夭。

meanwhile, sharon wondered why i had not returned. after seeing the three men leave the store she really began to worry as i was the last person she saw entering the store. she quickly went inside to look for me, but saw no one-only an almost empty cash register containing one check and several pennies. quickly she ran down each aisle shouting, "mike, mike!"

与此同时，沙伦对我的不归忧心忡忡。看到这三个匪徒离开便利店后她真的很担心，因为我是她见到的最后一个进入店里的人。她赶快跑进店来找我，只见几乎被一扫而空的收银机上挂着一张帐单，还有几枚硬币散落在上面，四周无人。她在货架间飞快地跑着、喊着：“迈克，迈克!”

just then the attendant appeared from the back of the store shouting, "lady, get down on the floor. ive just been robbed and shot at!"

这时一名服务员从店后面走出来叫到：“小姐，过来一下，我刚才被打劫了，他们还向我开了枪。”

sharon quickly dropped to the floor screaming, "have you seen my boyfriend? he has auburn hair." the man did not reply but went back to the cooler where he found me choking on my vomit. the attendant quickly cleaned my mouth and then called for the police and an ambulance.

沙伦跌跌撞撞地过来哭喊到：“你见到我的男朋友了吗?长褐色头发的。” 那人默默走到冷冻机旁，找到了我，此时呕吐快令到我窒息了。他赶忙帮我擦干了嘴，叫了警察和救护车。

sharon was in shock. she was beginning to understand that i was hurt, but she could not begin to comprehend or imagine the severity of my injury.

沙伦被吓坏了。渐渐地她才明白我受伤了，但是她根本想象不到伤势的严重性。

when the police arrived they immediately called the homicide division as they did not think i would survive and the paramedic reported that she had never seen a person so severely wounded survive. at 1:30 a.m. my parents who lived in houston, were awakened by a telephone call from brackenridge hospital advising them to come to austin as soon as possible for they feared i would not make it through the night.

警察来了，他们很快断定是杀人案，因为没人相信我还能活过来，而救护人员说她从来没有见过伤势如此严重的人可以逃离死劫。下午一点半，我住在奥斯汀的父母被来自布莱肯瑞吉医院的电话铃惊醒，医院通知他们尽快赶到奥斯汀，因为他们认为我熬不过当晚了。

but i did make it through the night and early in the morning the neurosurgeon decided to operate. however, he quickly informed my family and sharon that my chances of surviving the surgery were only 40/60. if this were not bad enough, the neurosurgeon further shocked my family by telling them what life would be like for me if i beat the odds and survived. he said i probably would never walk, talk, or be able to understand even simple commands.

但那晚我挺了过来，第二天清晨神经外科医生决定给我动手术。但他立即告知我的家人和沙伦我存活的机会只有百分之四十。然后他还雪上加霜地告诉我的家人，向他们描述如果我万幸活下来将面临怎样的生活——我可能再也不会走路了，不会说话了，甚至不能理解一些极其简单的命令。这些对我的家人来说都是莫大的打击。

my family was hoping and praying to hear even the slightest bit of encouragement from that doctor. instead, his pessimistic words gave my family no reason to believe that i would ever again be a productive member of society. but once again i beat the odds and survived the three and a half hours of surgery. granted, i still could not talk, my entire right side was paralyzed and many people thought i could not understand, but at least i was stable. after one week in a private room the doctors felt i had improved enough to be transferred by jet ambulance to del oro rehabilitation hospital in houston.

本来家里人祈望能从医生的口中听到一点点鼓励的话，而他悲观的言语让他们没理由相信我还会成为一个对社会有用的人。在经历了三个半小时的手术之后，我再次侥幸地活了下来。医生的话得到了应验，我不能说话，整个右边的身体瘫痪了，许多人认为我变傻了，但至少我身体状况是稳定的。在私人看护病房里呆了一个星期后，医生觉得我已经好转了许多，并可以坐救护飞机转到奥斯汀的德欧洛康复医院。

my hallucinations, coupled with my physical problems, made my prognosis still very bleak. however, as time passed my mind began to clear and approximately six weeks later my right leg began to move ever so slightly. within seven weeks my right arm slowly began to move and at eight weeks i uttered my first few words. my speech was extremely difficult and slow in the beginning, but at least it was a beginning. i was starting to look forward to each new day to see how far i would progress. but just as i thought my life was finally looking brighter i was tested by the hospital euro-psychologist. she explained to me that judging from my test results she believed that i should not focus on returning to college but that it would be better to set more "realistic goals."

意识上的幻觉和生理上的病疾使我的病情预断非常的渺茫。然而时间的飞逝使我的意识开始变得清晰，大约六个星期以后我的右腿可以轻微地活动了，七周以后我的右臂开始缓慢地活动了，八周以后我终于开口说话了。说话对于我非常地艰难并且开始的时候说得很慢，但是总算是开头了。我开始寄希望于新的一天的到来，祈望着新的进步。但正当我以为生活总算初露光明的时候，医院里有个欧洲来的心理学家对我做了测试。她向我解释到，从检测的结果来看她坚信我不能再重返学校，劝我对此不要抱有任何希望，希望我最好树立些更现实点的目标。

upon hearing her evaluation i became furious for i thought, "who is she to tell me what i can or cannot do. she does not even know me. i am a very determined and stubborn person!" i believe it was at that very moment that i decided i would somehow, someday return to college.

她的这番结论让我怒不可遏，“她是谁，凭什么告诉我能做什么或不能做什么。她根本不了解我。我是很坚强而固执的人!”我相信就在那时我决定无论如何，总有一天我会返回学校的。

it took me a long time and a lot of hard work but i finally returned to the university of texas in the fall of 1983 -- a year and a half after almost dying. the next few years in austin were very difficult for me, but i truly believe that in order to see beauty in life you have to experience some unpleasantness. maybe i have experienced too much unpleasantness, but i believe in living each day to the fullest, and doing the very best i can. and each new day was very busy and very full, for besides attending classes at the university i underwent therapy three to five days each week at brackenridge hospital. if this were not enough i flew to houston every other weekend to work with tom williams, a trainer and executive who had worked for many colleges and professional teams and also had helped many injured athletes, such as earl campbell and eric dickerson. through tom i learned: "nothing is impossible and never, never give up or quit."

在经历了一年半垂死挣扎的生活后，在漫长的等待和艰辛的付出后，终于在1983年的秋天，我返回了德克萨斯大学。在奥斯汀接下来的几年里我生活得非常艰难，但我确信为了看到生活中的真善美你必须要经历一些苦难。也许我经历的苦难太多了，但我有一个信念——充实地过每一天，尽力做到最好。日子过的很繁忙、很充实，除了读书，每周我还在要在布莱肯瑞吉医院接受三到五次的治疗。如果这还不够忙的话，我还要隔周和汤姆·威廉斯飞到奥斯汀工作。汤姆是一个教练兼主管，他曾效力于许多大学校队和职业联队，并帮助过许多受伤的运动员，如：厄尔·坎贝尔和艾立克·迪克森。从汤姆的身上我学到“没有什么是不可能的，千万千万不要放弃，永不放弃。”

early, during my therapy, my father kept repeating to me one of his favorite sayings. i have repeated it almost every day since being hurt: "mile by mile its a trial; yard by yard its hard; but inch by inch its a cinch."

早在我接受治疗的时候，父亲总是重复他最爱的那句话，每天当我感到痛苦的时候我也对自己重复那句话，那就是“脚踏实地，切勿急功近利。”

i thought of those words, and i thought of tom, my family and sharon who believed so strongly in me as i climbed the steps to receive my diploma from the dean of liberal arts at the university of texas on that bright sunny afternoon in june of 1986. excitement and pride filled my heart as i heard the dean announce that i had graduated with "highest honors", been elected to phi beta kappa, and been chosen as one of 12 deans distinguished graduates out of 1600 in the college of liberal arts. the overwhelming emotions and feelings that i experienced at that very moment, when most of the audience gave me a standing ovation, i felt would never again be matched in my life-not even when i graduated with a masters degree in social work and not even when i became employed full time at the texas pain and stress center. but i was wrong!

1986年六月那个阳光明媚的午后，当我步履蹒跚地走上德克萨斯大学迪安文学院的台阶接受文凭的时候，我思索着这些话，想到汤姆、父母还有沙伦，他们都那么坚定地给予了我信任。当我听到院长宣布我以最高荣誉毕业时，我的心中充满了骄傲和自信。接着他还宣布我被选入美国大学优等生荣誉学会，并在1600名毕业生中当选为12名迪安文学院的杰出毕业生之一。当场有许多观众站起来为我鼓掌，那一刻令我心潮澎湃、百感交集。我甚至觉得生命中不可能再经历那样的感慨和激情，这种想法一直延续到我获得社会学的硕士学位，成为德克萨斯止痛减压中心的一名全职工作人员。但幸运之神再次眷顾了我!

on may 24, 1987, i realized that nothing could ever match the joy i felt as sharon and i were married. sharon, my high school sweetheart of nine years, had always stood by me, through good and bad times. to me, sharon is my miracle, my diamond in a world filled with problems, hurt, and pain. it was sharon who dropped out of school when i was hurt so that she could constantly be at my side. she never wavered or gave up on me. it was her faith and love that pulled me through so many dark days. while other nineteen year old girls were going to parties and enjoying life, sharon devoted her life to my recovery. that, to me, is the true definition of love. after our beautiful wedding i continued working part time at the pain center and completed my work for a masters degree. we were extremely happy, but even happier when we learned sharon was pregnant.

1987年5月24日，我觉得再没有什么能与此时的快乐相提并论，我和沙伦结婚了。沙伦是我高中时代的女友，风风雨雨九年来，她一直陪在我身旁。对我来说，她是我的奇迹，是我在这个充满困惑和伤痛的世界上拥有的一颗钻石。为了能日夜守侯在我的身旁，沙伦在我受伤的时候放弃了学业。她的爱从未动摇过，她从未抛弃过我。是她的忠诚和爱伴着我度过了无数个黑暗的日子。当别的十九岁的女孩子参加舞会、享受生活的时候，沙伦把青春献给了病床上的我，等待我的康复。对我来说，这就是爱的真谛。在那个美满的婚礼之后，我继续在止痛中心做着兼职的工作，并获得了我的硕士学位。我们非常的幸福，而沙伦怀孕的消息更让我们恩爱有加。

on july 11, 1990 at 12:15 a.m. sharon woke me with the news: "we need to go to the hospital… my water just broke." i couldnt help but think how ironic it was that my life almost ended in a convenience store and now on the date "7-11" we were about to bring a new life into this world. this time it was my turn to help sharon as she had helped me over those past years. she was in labor for 15 hours. at 3:10 p.m. sharon and i experienced the birth of our beautiful daughter, shawn elyse segal! tears of joy and happiness came to my eyes as our healthy, alert, wonderful daughter entered this world. we anxiously counted her 10 fingers and her 10 toes and watched her wide eyes take in the world about her. it was truly a beautiful picture that was etched in my mind forever as she lie in her mothers waiting arms, just minutes after her birth. at that moment i thanked god for blessing us with the greatest miracle of all-shawn elyse segal.

1990年7月11日12点15分，沙伦把我从梦中唤醒：“我们得去医院了……我羊水破了。”我忍不住想命运真让人啼笑皆非，它几乎让我在那家便利店里丢了性命，而在一个命名为“7·11”的日子里它却让我迎来新生命的出世。多年来沙伦帮我度过了一次又一次难关，这次该我来帮助她了。沙伦经历了15个小时的分娩。在3点10分的时候，沙伦和我一起迎来了我们美丽的女儿——萧恩·艾丽斯·斯高。当我看到美丽的女儿健康地来到这个世上，喜悦和幸福化作泪水夺眶而出。我们迫不及待地数着她的十个手指和十只脚趾，看着她大大的眼睛注视着她的世界。初生的婴儿躺在妈妈柔软的怀里如一副优美的图画将永驻我的心中。那一刻，我感谢上帝赐予我们如此最伟大的奇迹——我的萧恩·艾丽斯·斯高。

Responsible travel is differ from the normal travel, people who love responsible travel prefer to protect and close to nature instead of destroying it.They appreciate local culture in many ways, such as hiring a local people to be their travel guide, following a small group and doing some beneficial things for villagers.Ordinarily, we usually take photos to prove we have been here or there.But when we know the responsible travel, we love to assimilate to the place, such as being a volunteer there.

We should be responsible for ourselves and our environment.As far as I am concerned, nothing important than living in a pure environment.

showing respect to parents is one of the chinese traditional moral

values.as most of the students today are “the only child” in their family, they

often regard themselves as the“centre”of the family, without caring much about

their parents. our school started a programme when the new year came.it is

“respecting parents programme”. ten“do"s”have been worked out for the students

to follow clearly and easily, including:

“remember your parents" birthdays and express your best wishes to them;

say”hello“to your parents when you see them returning home; and tell your

parents where you go when you leave home.” the programme has been successful,

and has won praises from parents and other sides of the society. people say this

is what we should have done earlier!

Success Is What？What is successThis is an old topic. However,However, everyone’s  understanding of success is quite different. Some people think that having money, house, car, a woman is successful. Some people think that success is doing something that you want to do. Some even deny the existence of success, he thinks this world is not successful, only the endless pursuit.So I want to make a new definition of success: Success is something that people are very eager to do good things gained a sense of satisfaction and excitement. Therefore, we do things, no matter big and small, as long as you want to do, and through your efforts made, and you happy, then you succeeded. Do not look too far successful, they should not be too easy to see success, success requires your effort. Those who believe that successful people do not exist, in fact, continue to define new goals, they will from what they have done to get happy, they succeeded.(

In order to become successful, you should first of all be both perseverance and hardworking. As you know, whatever you do, there are always two possible results: success and failure. When you fail, you should never lose heart. On the contrary, you must build up your confidence and work even harder. You should always keep in mind that perseverance is the mother of success and industry is the key to it. In addition, you should pay great attention to your work method. It is necessary for you to sum up your experience constantly and improve the efficiency of your work. Finally, it is important for you to get along well with your co-workers, care for each other and help each other. If you follow these principles, you will certainly achieve remarkable success in thefuture.

In my opinion, success means achieving brilliant results in ones work, that is, making outstanding contributions to the development of the country and bringing happiness to the people. So my conclusion is that even if one has made great progress in what he does, I don’t think there’s any reasons for him tobeconceited.
