Protecting the Wild Animals

Last week, I saw a very impressive documentary about panda. A professor studied panda in the early 1980s went to the wild life and kept trace of wild giant panda for many years. As a result, he found that it was human being that made these lovely animals die out. At that time, many people believed that giant panda became less because of the low rate of newborn babies. But it was not true. People cut trees for making profit at that time. Panda lose homeland and they lacked of food. Thanks to these valuable data, the government took the policy to protect the animals. So today, the number of giant panda is increasing. People realize the importance of protecting the environment and it is the best way to protect wild animals, they are the indispensable part of the nature.

上周，我看了一部令人印象非常深刻的关于熊猫的纪录片。一位教授在20年代80年代早期就开始研究熊猫，他到野外生活，多年寻找野生大熊猫的踪迹。结果，他发现，正是人类，让这些可爱的动物面临灭绝。当时，许多人认为，大熊猫变少是因为新生儿的低出生率。这是不正确。人们为了利益砍伐树木，熊猫失去了家园，也没有食物吃。多亏了这些有价值的数据，政府采取了政策去保护它们。所以现在，大熊猫的数量正在增加。人们意识到保护环境的重要性，这也是最好的方法来保护野生动物，因为它们是大自然不可或缺的一部分。

Students, do you know me? Would you like to be a friend with me?

今天，我为大家介绍自己。我的名字叫王君，今年7岁，在实验小学上三年级。

我长着圆圆的脸，红红的，像苹果一样，笑的时候脸上露出小小的酒窝。我的眼睛圆溜溜、亮晶晶的，像葡萄似的。

我的性格非常温和，许多小朋友都愿意和我做朋友。有时，我在院子里玩，总发现身后有许多小弟弟和小妹妹来和我玩，她们都喜欢叫我姐姐。有时，别人把我的玩具弄坏了，我总不发脾气，还说没关系。

我的爱好很多，喜欢画画、弹钢琴、看书、唱歌、下棋 。但是，我最喜欢弹钢琴，每当做完作业，我就打开钢琴，认真地弹着优美的曲子。听着那悠扬的琴声，我忘记了一切。经过我的努力，我还参加过钢琴大赛。虽然我小，可是还赢得了叔叔阿姨的表扬。

同学们，你们了解我吗?愿意和我做朋友吗?

在人们心中，未来的地球应该是一被高科技覆盖的星球，那时的地球已经进入了信息时代。这是一个多么好的未来啊，但事实却与之正好相反。

一亿年后的地球能源已被人们消耗的所剩无几。地球地核开始衰弱，地球引力越来越小。生活在地球上的人们总觉得轻飘飘的，而且大陆板块也开始四分五裂。据专家推断，地球地核会在五十年后停止运转，随后后各种气体也将飘离地球，地表也会开始碎裂，最后地球将会爆炸，所有生物都会灭绝，人类也不例外。这一消息震惊全人类。一亿多年来，人类在几次物种大灭绝中都存活里下来。难道这次真的没有机会了？

当人们惊恐万分的时候，一位信息时代的领军人物塔图说道：“人类还有希望，只要我们运用科学的力量，让地核重新运转。地球就不会爆炸，人类就不会灭绝。”这一段话点然了全球几十亿人心中的希望之火，大家都决定要让“地球之心”重新“跳动”。

经过了一年的准备，一切工作到位，大家开始了浩大“救心”工程。首先，大家用超强功率的核能钻地机。从地表的各个位置开始向地核进军。地球地核的正常温度应在四千摄氏度左右，但当人们到达地核的时候，地核的温度却已降到了两千度，可见地核的衰弱速度有多快。

来到地核后，人们便马不停蹄的在地和周围建造了一个量子保护罩，这是为了在地核加热过程中，保护地核不受破坏。接着，载着人们来到地核的核能钻地机摇身一变，成了能量运输的中转站。它通过压缩和摩擦将能量的温度和密度提升到极致，然后注入到地核中，使地核的温度上升，从而达到地核升温的目的。当然，有时会有几台机器出现问题，不能正常工作。这时，就到量子重组机出马了。量子重组机可以把有问题的机器量子化，然后传送到地表的重组机里。地表的重组机再把机器重组，让工程师来维修，最后再传送到地核。

在地核，可以说时间不再是金钱，而是可贵的生命，每一个在地核工作的人都非常认真。终于功夫不负有心人，经历了三十六年的不懈努力，地核终于重新运转了。消息公布的这一天，全球上下，人们共庆成功。参与过这项工程的人留下了激动的泪水。这次的成功，会在人类历史上留下重重的一笔。它会让人们永远的记住：地球——人类唯一的家园。

狗的生活习性可多了，它特别喜欢吃骨头和鱼。只要你对它温和，它对你非常好。

春节我去奶奶家玩，我一进大院，就看见一只小花狗。它偏瘦，穿着一身黑白相间的“衣服”。短短的腿，黑溜溜的眼睛，扁扁的鼻子，小巧玲珑的嘴，非常可爱。我的脚刚刚迈进门，它就“汪、汪、汪……”地叫了起来，好像要把我“吃”似的。我连忙退了几步，吓得我出了一身冷汗。我奶奶把狗抱起来，我快速进了家，小狗还在盯着我，很不友好的样子。

开饭了，我首先把碗里的骨头给小狗吃，小狗看了看我，直摇尾巴，好像在说：“谢谢你!”它低下头津津有味地啃起了骨头。我心想：这小家伙真贪吃。下次再咬我你别想吃骨头了!不一会儿，小狗的骨头吃完了，用舌头舔舔嘴巴，用牙齿咬住我的裤腿，好像在说：“再给我一块骨头，好吗?”我的碗里只剩下米饭了，只好给它一点米饭，可是，他闻一闻就失望地走了。

从我喂了骨头以后，小狗对我很友好。有一次，我在写作业，它那熟悉的声音又传来了，跑到我身边叫了几声，好像在说：“小主人，我们一起玩行吗?”他见我不答应，就跳在桌子上，闻闻这儿，闻闻那儿，没办法，我只好收起书本与它玩，它高兴的跳了起来。

我有新朋友啦!

Habits

Habits, whether good or bad, are gradually formed. When a person doesa certain thing again and again, he＇ll be obliged to do it in the same way by some unseen force. Thus habit is formed. Once a habit is formed, it is difficult and sometimes almost impossible to get rid of it. It is.therefore very important that we should take care in the formation of habits.

Good habits have many advantages. Going to bed early and getting up early makes us healthy. Diligence helps to succeed. Honesty helps:: win the respeet and trust of others.

If we form bad habits, such as rudeness, laziness, lying and stealing, we might be mined by them.

We ought to keep away from bad habits and try to acquire habits good for ourselves and others. ( 133 words)

习惯

习惯，不管是好是坏，都是逐渐形成的。当一个人反复的做某件事时，他就会被某种看不见的力量驱使不得不以同样的方式再去做这件事，于是习惯就形成了。习惯一旦形成，就很难、有时几乎不可能改掉。因此，在养成习惯时我们都应该特别小心，这一点至关重要。

良好习惯有着许多优点。早睡早起身体好；勤奋助人成功；诚实助人赢得他人的尊重和信任。

如果我们养成了坏习惯，比如：粗野、懒惰、说谎、偷窃，我们就可能堕落。

我们应该远离坏习惯并努力养成对己对人都有好处的习惯。

Nowadays university graduates have different job outlooks. For most of them, to find a job with satisfactory pay is their most important wish while majority want to be self – employed. However, a certain number of graduates are not in a hurry to hunt for jobs. They are just waiting for better chances.

Christmas， annual Christian holiday commemorating the birth of Jesus Christ。 Most members of the Roman Catholic Church and followers of Protestantism celebrate Christmas on December 25， and many celebrate on the evening of December 24 as well。 Members of the Eastern Orthodox Church usually delay their most important seasonal ceremonies until January 6， when they celebrate Epiphany， a commemoration of the baptism of Jesus。 Epiphany also traditionally commemorates the arrival of the Three Wise Men of the East in Bethlehem （near Jerusalem， Israel）， where they adored the infant Jesus and presented him with gifts of gold， frankincense， and myrrh。 The official Christmas season， popularly known as either Christmastide or the Twelve Days of Christmas， extends from the anniversary of Christ’s birth on December 25 to the feast of Epiphany on January 6。  Christmas is based on the story of Jesus’ birth as described in the Gospel according to Matthew （see Matthew 1：18—2：12） and the Gospel according to Luke （see Luke 1：26—56）。 Roman Catholics first celebrated Christmas， then known as the Feast of the Nativity， as early as 336 ad。 The word Christmas entered the English language sometime around 1050 as the Old English phrase Christes maesse， meaning festival of Christ。 Scholars believe the frequently used shortened form of Christmas—Xmas—may have come into use in the 13th century。 The X stands for the Greek letter chi， an abbreviation of Khristos （Christ）， and also represents the cross on which Jesus was crucified。

12月25日，是基督教徒纪念耶稣诞生的日子，称为圣诞节。从12月24日于翌年1月6日为圣诞节节期。节日期间，各国基督教徒都举行隆重的纪念仪式。圣诞节本来是基督教徒的节日，由于人们格外重视，它便成为一个全民性的节日，是西方国家一年中最盛大的节日，可以和新年相提并论，类似我国过春节。西方人以红、绿、白三色为圣诞色，圣诞节来临时家家户户都要用圣诞色来装饰。红色的有圣诞花和圣诞蜡烛。绿色的是圣诞树。它是圣诞节的主要装饰品，用砍伐来的杉、柏一类呈塔形的常青树装饰而成。上面悬挂着五颜六色的彩灯、礼物和纸花，还点燃着圣诞蜡烛。红色与白色相映成趣的是圣诞老人，他是圣诞节活动中最受欢迎的人物。西方儿童在圣诞夜临睡之前，要在壁炉前或枕头旁放上一只袜子，等候圣诞老人在他们入睡后把礼物放在袜子内。在西方，扮演圣诞老人也是一种习俗。
