诚信最珍贵 每天放学，我都要路过宝小门口的小卖部，看看今天里边有什么新鲜玩意儿。有一天 ，我忽然发现小店的货架上出现了个我一直梦寐以求的悠悠球，它发出耀眼的光芒，外壳是金黄色的，里面的绿色的，绚丽的外壳上还写着“光子精灵”四个小字。就是它!我拿着它爱不释手地抚摸着。

这时，小店老板走过来对我说：“喜欢吗?这个悠悠球原价要二十六元，最低二十三元卖给你。”我摸摸口袋，发现只有二十元钱，老板见我十分渴望得到这个悠悠球，就对我说：“那好吧，你先付二十元把它拿走，下次记得还我三元哟!”我喜出望外地答应道：“好的!”我交了钱，一边笑，一边玩，一边高高兴兴地回家了。

然而后来我就将此事忘在了脑后，直到过了几天想起时，我便想，这么长时间了，可能老板自己也忘记了吧。带着这种侥幸的心理，从此每次路过宝小门口，我都避开走，更不敢去跟老板还三元钱。然而我的举动引起了妈妈的注意，妈妈好象看透了我的心思，问我：“你怎么了呀?以前你不是都要没事去店里面看看有没有喜欢的小玩意吗?现在怎么看都不看了?”我立即低下头对妈妈说：“啊、噢，我上次买了一个悠悠球，差了老板三元钱没有不还。。。”我半天才说出了原因，妈妈赶紧给我钱让我现在就去还。

还钱后，我觉得心里舒服极了，我感觉做人一定要做一个诚实守信的人，相倍别人，也相信自己!

When we read newspapers, we often come across the wordPollution. This word was not familiar to the people some decades ago. But now, it is a serious threat to us because.it means the poisoning of the air, seas, rivers and lands, which would do harm to our health.

There are many factories that bring pollution to us. We can not have fresh air in the morning. This is mainly because of the poisonous smoke coming from factories, especially chemical ones. In rivers, seas and oceans, there are industrial wastes. Some factories just throw their wastes into seas or let them flow into rivers. When people drink the water from such rivers, they get poisoned. Besides, there is rubbish from ships and when sometimes an accident occurs in an ocean, oil flows out from tankers.

On land, the accumulation of rubbish in the streets may dirty the city and ruin our health. This is mainly due to the improper disposal of rubbish by people.

If we do mot fight against pollution, surely one day all of us will be killed. Some people like to put the blame on the industrial revolutions. On the contrary, the pollution problem will be solved only with the help of modem science and technology.

晴天的傍晚，总会有最美的时刻，那时，太阳快落山了，西边有一道道的光芒照在了我的身上，暖洋洋的 ，还透着像火焰似的光。 那，就是黄昏，美丽的黄昏!

今天，我抬头望黄昏，它好像在对我微笑，笑得是那么灿烂，在茂密的树林中，闪耀着星星点点的光斑。

黄昏，给人们“染成了”金头发，黄昏，仿佛是给楼房，铺上了金黄色的琉璃瓦屋顶，闪闪发亮，让人陶醉。

我走着，走着，目不转睛的盯着黄昏，欣赏着宜人的景色。

似乎周围的一切都笼罩在了黄昏里。旁边的小池里有很多顽皮的小鱼，黄昏笼罩着它们，小鱼在淡黄色的池水里欢快的游着......

是不是小鱼儿也喜欢黄昏?我并不知道，但我只知：“黄昏是个非常美的景象，爱观察的人，都会被迷恋。”

天，黑了!黄昏悄悄的走了，它带走了人们的希望，却给人间留下了无限的好梦。

Prepare for the Chinese New Year

It’s about one and a half month away from the Chinese New Year, It is a festival celebrated by the Chinese people at the beginning of the lunar calendar year.

As of the Chinese traditional customs, our parents and grandparents will sweep every corner of the house and clean the windows until they gleam, and washing clothes, buying foods and goods for the new year’s future use and presents.

Children will be the most benefited group during this feast period. One month before that, they are expecting the new clothes, delicious foods. The firecrackers and the year’s allowance for their increased ages.

In recent years, with the rising of the standard of life, Chinese tend to make various holiday plans to spend a different and meaningful new year. Such as traveling abroad, or be absorbed in their hobbies, and even work.

Why today we try to spend our Chinese new year in such a different way? I think that’s because this is a era of free life and personality high-ranking. Though there are still something traditional, our young generation is attempting to make something new and suitable for ourselves. And we would like to take something really worth to be cherished in our memorable treasures. That’s amazing and wonderful!

I’ll always keep in mind that the Chinese new year is a great feast inherited from our ancestors, but if necessary, I would like to enjoy it by some ways personal.

Study is the necessary process that everyone need to experience. And then exam will follow. To obtain a good score, review is inevitable. Almost everyone wants to find the best review method. But there is no best review method, but there is the most suitable way. Different people will find different methods for them to do review. For example, some students should study in group, while some should study alone. When recite things, some need to write it down, some need to speak loudly, and some just need to read it. Different methods just depend on different people. Don’t compare with others; just find the most suitable one for yourself.

学习是每个人都必须要经历的过程。然后考试就随之而来了。为了获得好成绩，复习是必须的。几乎每个人都想找到最好的复习方法。但是，没有最好的只有最适合的复习方法。不同的人会找到不同的复习方法。例如，一些学生适合集体学习，而一些则应该独自学习。在背诵东西的时候，有些需要写下来，有些需要大声说出来，而有些则只需要看看。不同的人依赖于不同的方法。不要与他人相比较;找到最适合自己的。

Looked to the distant trees, thousand branches are stacked Picui can be beautiful scene! But since I came to the city, I have never seen this scene, never smelled the fresh grass smell. Its always here all the year round. Every day, all those tall buildings and cars on the road are coming up. Fortunately, the wind is unconstrained, and its true qualities remain.

The sky is clear and the sun is shining. Spring girl tan all eyes narrowed to the. The new leaves are green, the field mist of smoke, like her clothes.

今天，我读了《昂起头来，真美》这篇文章，感悟很深。

这篇文章的大概内容是这样的:一个小女孩叫珍妮，她觉得自己长的很丑，所以走路时总是低着头，不敢抬头见人。有一天，她到商店买了一个漂亮的蝴蝶结带在头上，店主夸奖她说:“你带上这个蝴蝶结真漂亮”，听了这句话，珍妮高兴的跳了起来，走出商店时不再低着头，而是昂起了头，迎面与一个人撞了一下，也没在意。走到教室里，老师也说她很漂亮，在路上，许多人都夸她漂亮。回到家里一照镜子，她才发现蝴蝶结不知什么时候掉了。

读了这篇文章，我懂得了珍妮之所以受到这么多人的夸奖，是因为她身上有一种气质叫做自信，有了这种自信，即使没有“蝴蝶结”，也会给别人一种美的感觉。我觉得自信原本就是美丽，只是有人太在意外表，而忽略了自信的美，不管是贫穷还是富有，不管相貌漂亮还是丑陋，只要拥有了自信，你就是美丽的。

无需华丽的外表、刻意的整容、特意的装扮，只要有自信的气质，你就是一道特殊的、十分亮丽的风景。 低着头，因为外表丑而不敢抬头与人说话，只会毁掉你美丽的气质、你的自信和你的个性。

生活中也是这样，想想我自己，刚学小提琴时，拉出来的曲子“吱吱呀呀”的，难听极了，我就失去了继续学下去的勇气。后来，经过小提琴老师和家长的鼓励，我树立了自信心，我相信只要刻苦努力就能出成绩，这不，我的小提琴还考过五级了呢!

让我们树立自信心吧，那才是一个完美的自己，拥有自信才美丽!

All over the world people enjoy sports. Sports help to keep people healthy and happy, and to live longer.

Sports change with the seasons. People play different games in winter and summer. Swimming is fun in warm weather, but skating is good in winter.

Some sports are so interesting that people everywhere go in for them. Football, for example, has spread around the world. Swimming is popular in all countries near the sea or in those with many rivers. Some sports or games go back thousands of years, like running or jumping. Chinese wushu, for example, has a very long history. But basketball and volleyball are rather new. People are inventing new sports or games all the time. Water skiing is one of the newest in the family of sports.

People from different countries may not be able to understand each other, but after a game together they often become good friends. Sports help to train a persons character. One learns to fight hard but fight fair, to win without pride and to lose with grace.

Time came slowly to the Qingming time.

The afternoon of April 3rd, our school organized a class five and class together to worship the martyrs cemetery. Walking into the cemetery, looking around, surrounded by mountains, quiet and silent. Occasionally, there are several birds singing, but they also disperse quickly. Most of the students were lowering their heads, wondering what they were thinking in silence. I sighed with a sigh and thought: it was a long time away from the time of the war, and the soldiers who died for the country were fading away. How many people could remember them? Everyone left with a strain of white flowers, looked up at the distance. Looking at the tall marble statue of the martyr, there was a feeling of admiration in mind, and my thoughts went to that distant age. Those young girls who are still in flower season have sacrificed their lives in the cruel war. Did they ever regret when they died? At that moment, they thought of their parents at home, or the security of their country, or just such a departure?

The worship of the process is very simple, but the atmosphere is dignified. No matter what, what is on your mind at this moment, everyone is silent and soundless. Finally, we put the paper flowers in front of the stone tablets and leave them together. The whole process is somewhat solemn and heavy. Returning to school, my mind is always relaxed and depressed. Whenever I think of that stone tablet and think of the soldier who is sleeping underground, there will be a lot of sadness and weakness. Todays life is because of them, we can live so happily.

Qingming Festival is the traditional festival of our nation. At this time, everyone will pay homage to their loved ones or martyrs. In this Qingming Festival, we can do too little or too little. Only hope that we can use a sincere heart to face our elders and martyrs.

我的世界，那充满书香味的绚丽的天空，因为有你，才如此美丽。

曾几何时，爸爸对我说：“书是人类的进步的阶梯，你要好好读书!”

曾几何时，妈妈对我说：“书是人类的营养品，你要仔细的品味它，吸收书中的精华。”

曾几何时，我似乎渐渐明白了——“读书百遍，其义自现”“读书破万卷，下笔如有神”的道理。

我的世界因为有你——书，才会变得如此绚丽多彩。

不知不觉中我发现我喜欢上了你，我离不开你，每时每刻你的影子在我的脑海中一遍又一遍重复着。

在我孤独的时候，有你在我身边陪伴我;在我失意的时候，有你在我身边鼓励我;在我放弃向理想的道路奋斗的时候，又是你重新点燃了我熄灭的火苗。

我的世界是你点缀的这样美丽，我的世界是你描绘的这样丰富多彩。我的世界因你而美丽。

我的世界之所以这样美丽，都归功于书，是书给了我知识和智慧，给了我力量和勇气。难怪有人说：书是人类智慧的源泉，书是人类进步的阶梯。

此时此刻，我回味着迷人的书香，心中的理想之灯更亮了，前进的目标更坚定了，因为我知道，书相伴我一定会带给我更多的知识和智慧，赐给我更大的力量和勇气。

生活里没有书籍，周围的一切都变得黯淡无光;智慧里没有书籍，就好像鸟儿没有翅膀，我的世界里没有书籍，就好像人生变成了灰白色，没有色彩，了无生趣。

我喜欢书籍，人生若没有文字相伴，那定然像世界少了阳光板暗淡苍灰。阅读对我而言，实际快乐的事。

我的世界因你而美丽。

那山川，那湖泊，是清秀的。那宝石，那珍珠，是高贵的。那鲜花，那嫩草，是娇美的。而这些，却比不上一颗美丽的心，它也许就在那光的尽头，等着你去发现——那是最美丽的心灵。

那个夏天，爸妈带我去贵州旅行。有一天，我们去一个叫“韭菜坪”的地方，从山下，要坐缆车上去，坐了十几分钟，才到山顶。那漫山的韭菜花，在浓雾中若隐若现，那天，是雾天，空气潮湿，几乎看不见路，但在这丝绵缠绕般的雾中，出现了几点小火光。走过去，原来是一位皮肤黝黑、身形瘦小的母亲和她四、五岁的女儿，她们在卖烤土豆、烤鸡蛋和烤红薯。两人的脸都黑里透红，小女孩的裤子上还有一个破洞，叫人心酸。妈妈在那儿买了好几个土豆和红薯，并和那位母亲聊了起来，从聊天中，我才知道她们并不是坐缆车上来，而是从山脚走上来的，那位母亲说她们每天背着东西走三个多小时的山路上来。我们本来边聊边要走了，妈妈突然又回头去跟那位母亲买了好几排牛奶，可那位母亲并没有很高兴，而是问妈妈：“买这么多，吃得了吗?你们需要多少就拿多少吧，不要买这么多!”妈妈说我们能吃，需要!她撒了一个善意的谎，然后，妈妈又从我们买的牛奶中拿了两排送给小女孩，那位母亲直摆手说不要，小女孩也不敢接，妈妈说是姐姐送给小妹妹的，最后她收下了。我很不解，为什么她们自己在卖，还要送给她们呀?妈妈边走边向我解释：她们赚钱很不容易，这些奶是花钱买来卖的，就算是自己有卖，也舍不得给女儿喝。

我听完，心中一阵温暖，因为妈妈的美丽心灵，在这浓雾中，温暖了一对母女。因为那位母亲的善良诚实，为他人着想，在冷风中点起一个炉子，温暖游人。

我们越走越远，直到她们的身影模糊在雾中……

在光的尽头，我找到了两颗最美丽的心灵，在那个地方，闪着璀璨之光。

海浪一层又一层地扑来，碰撞着卧在海面的礁石，溅起了水花又落了下来;冲湿了我的脚丫，还顽皮地带走了我留在沙滩上的印记，作为他永久的珍藏。看着大海时时奔来，好像永远不知疲倦;听着大海刻刻喧腾，似乎永远都那么快乐。立在海边，海潮拥抱着我，和我一同嬉戏，与我一样那么开朗，活泼。

久久站在大海面前，好象一切都静止了，云不再飘，心不再动，只是顿时觉得我们是如此渺小。凝视着这无垠的海，我的心也开阔了不少，觉得自己能包容一切。有句伟大的名言：比海洋更广阔的是蓝天;比蓝天更广阔的是人的胸怀。从城市的陆地中逃脱出来，望着那奔腾的大海，你不由得想张开双臂，迎上去呐喊，扑上去拥抱。这时候，就会觉得胸襟豁然开朗，大有包容整个世界的宽广。

我终于见到大海了!在看见大海的一瞬间，我觉得自己进入了一个崭新的世界!不过我在此同时，我看到地平线那儿，水天相接，分不清海和天。就在这时，我对海的那边的好奇心远远的超过了对海这边的好奇心——海的那边又是什么呢?我终于见到了大海，海就像一位身着蓝纱裙的美丽姑娘，海风吹着浪花的声音，就是她的迎客曲。看那海边的金色沙滩，在朝阳的照耀下，仿佛每一粒细纱都闪着光。沙滩上面，有许许多多大海送来的礼物：小巧玲珑的贝壳，背着小房子的寄居蟹，长满硬刺的海刺猬，像小口袋似的水母。撒满海滩。这都是退潮时掉队的，等海水一涨，它们还要回到大海的怀抱。像那无边的大海望去，还蒙着厚厚一层雾，隐隐约约有一些捕鱼的帆船在水中雾中移动，时隐时现。海风阵阵的吹来，浪被撞击在礁石上，溅起了洁白的水花，它涌到岸边，轻轻地抚摸着细软的沙滩。海浪一层一层从远处轻盈地荡来，给沙滩勾勒出一道白色的“裙边”，像给浩瀚的大海镶上了闪闪发光的银框，使大海更加迷人。太阳升高了，海上的雾渐渐散去，露出了大海的本来面目。当傍晚涨潮的时候，大海却变成了另一副模样。它变得像一个无边的战场。狂风吹着尖利的号角声，海浪似乎是千百乘铁骑，向海岸猛烈地进攻着，发出隆隆的怒吼声。岸上百斤重的大石，给它轻轻一拂，就淹没到海底去了……

这就是美丽而神秘的大海，我爱他，因为他是生命的摇篮，是神秘的魔术师，是无尽的遐想。

Xiamen is an island city with a rich and dramatic history, replete with pirates, rebel leaders, and European merchants. Now linked to mainland Fujian by a causeway, Xiamen retains a strong international flavor. Known in the West as Amoy, Xiamen has a long history as a port city, and later became a center of British trade in the 19th century. Their foreign settlements, later taken over by Japanese invaders at the start of World War II, were established on the nearby small Gulangyu Island. Many of the old treaty-port and colonial buildings in Western styles survive. Xiamen was declared one of China’s first Special Economic Zones in the early 1980’s, taking advantage of the city’s heritage as a trading center and the proximity to Taiwan. Today Xiamen is one of China’s most attractive and best-maintained resort cities.

Xiamen was founded in 1394 at the beginning of the Ming dynasty as a center of defense against coastal pirates. Its prosperity was due to its deepwater sheltered harbor, that supplanted nearby Quanzhou, the port that had been the center of the maritime trade with the Indies.

In the mid-17th century, Xiamen and Gulangyu Island became a stronghold of Zheng Chenggong, known in the West as Koxinga, a Ming loyalist who held out against the Manchu invaders until being driven to Taiwan. Born in Japan to a Chinese pirate father and a Japanese mother, Zheng became allied with holdout Ming princes in the south who hoped for a restoration. He built up a resistance force of some 7,000 junks and a mixed force of three-quarters of a million troops and pirates. In 1661 he drove the Dutch from Taiwan and set up another base there, before his death in 1662.

After the Opium Wars Xiamen became one of the first treaty ports to be opened to foreign trade and settlement following the Treaty of Nanjing in 1842. Gulangyu Island was transformed into an international settlement, where many Victorian and Neoclassical style buildings still survive. The city’s prosperity was due both to trade and to wealth sent back by Xiamen’s substantial emigrant community of overseas Chinese.

Prosperity returned to Xiamen in the early 1980’s when Xiamen was designated one of

the four Special Economic Zones (SEZs).
