My hometown is beautiful place It stands near a wide river at the foot of low green hills. It has many tall buildings and wide streets. There are trees and flowers everywhere.

They have an assembly hall and a hospital. Along the river they have built offices, hotels and parks. A lot of factories have sprung up.

+ 加入清单with the development of technology, people can do some operations to make
their faces look prefect, even to look much younger than their real ages. when
we see the commercial ads, we can find the stars look gorgeous, we are so envy
about their young faces. but to me, i think the secret of keeping young is not
by surgery operation, but to keep a healthy lifestyle. today, young people are
living an unhealthy life, they like to stay up and wake up at the noon. young
people form the habit of taking activity at night while sleeping in the day. how
terrible it is, they are damaging their bodies, their bodies will get older than
the normal speed. if people sleep early and wake up in the morning, do some
exercises and keep the balance diet, they will look young. so don’t expect the
surgery to help look young, it is harmful, only the healthy lifestyle does.
随着科技的发展,人们可以通过一些手术来让他们的脸看起来完美,甚至看起来比实际的年龄年轻。当我们看到商业广告时,可以发现明星看起来很漂亮,嫉妒他们年轻的容颜。但是对于我来说,我觉得保持年轻的秘密不是通过外科手术,而是保持健康的生活方式。今天,年轻人的生活方式很不健康,他们喜欢熬夜,中午才起床。年轻人养成了在晚上活动,白天睡觉的习惯。这是多么糟糕啊,他们是在损害自己的身体,他们的身体比正常的速度老化得快。如果人们早睡早起,做运动,保持平衡的饮食,他们会看起来年轻。所以不要期望通过外科手术来变得年轻,那是有害的,唯有健康的生活习惯才能让你年轻。

有一个小男孩,他每个周日都会坐高铁去南京上编程课,可是他有个习惯——“发呆”。
他经常若有所思,时不时还冷不丁冒出一句“好极了!”、“就是这样!”经常将他的朋友吓一大跳。他的朋友们在旁边聊天,有说有笑,可是他却好似沉浸在另一个世界中,根本听不到他们的谈笑声。他的朋友问他问题,他却丝毫没有反应,他的朋友又戳了戳他,还是没反应。直到小男孩的朋友用力把手搭在他的肩膀上,用力摇晃他的时候,才猛的回过神来。
有一次,那个小男孩刚上完编程课,当别人狼吞虎咽吃饭的时候,他却细嚼慢咽,一直在发呆,好似在想什么心事,又像是在思考问题,他的脑子好像在飞速运转。他眉头紧锁,眼睛直勾勾的注视着碗,嘴中含着吃到一半的粉丝,忘记了咀嚼,他手中的筷子悬在嘴边,一动不动。
吃完饭,在等高铁进站的时候,小男孩的“老毛病”又犯了——他又低着头,望着地板,摸着下巴开始“发呆”了,连高铁进站都不知道,还是大家将他拉上高铁的。
上了高铁,一坐下,小男孩二话未说打开电脑,手指在键盘上上下移动,手指“飞”到东,又“飞”到西,发出“哒哒哒哒”的敲击键盘的声响。他有时望着窗外,挠着头,若有所思;又有时豁然开朗,手指翻飞,编写程序。原来,刚才那一路上,他一直在思考老师布置的c++回家作业呢!
其实,他的“发呆”不是在放空大脑,而是在思考问题。那个爱“发呆”的小男孩就是我!

全文共 3358 字
+ 加入清单The Lantern Festival falls on the 15th day of the 1st lunar month, usually in February or March in the Gregorian calendar. As early as the Western Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 25), it had become a festival with great significance.
This days important activity is watching lanterns. Throughout the Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 220), Buddhism flourished in China. One emperor heard that Buddhist monks would watch sarira, or remains from the cremation of Buddhas body, and light lanterns to worship Buddha on the 15th day of the 1st lunar month, so he ordered to light lanterns in the imperial palace and temples to show respect to Buddha on this day. Later, the Buddhist rite developed into a grand festival among common people and its influence expanded from the Central Plains to the whole of China.
Till today, the lantern festival is still held each year around the country. Lanterns of various shapes and sizes are hung in the streets, attracting countless visitors. Children will hold self-made or bought lanterns to stroll with on the streets, extremely excited. "Guessing lantern riddles"is an essential part of the Festival.
Lantern owners write riddles on a piece of paper and post them on the lanterns. If visitors have solutions to the riddles, they can pull the paper out and go to the lantern owners to check their answer. If they are right, they will get a little gift. The activity emerged during peoples enjoyment of lanterns in the Song Dynasty (960-1279). As riddle guessing is interesting and full of wisdom, it has become popular among all social strata.
People will eat yuanxiao, or rice dumplings, on this day, so it is also called the "Yuanxiao Festival."Yuanxiao also has another name, tangyuan. It is small dumpling balls made of glutinous rice flour with rose petals, sesame, bean paste, jujube paste, walnut meat, dried fruit, sugar and edible oil as filling. Tangyuan can be boiled, fried or steamed. It tastes sweet and delicious. What’s more, tangyuan in Chinese has a similar
pronunciation with "tuanyuan”, meaning reunion. So people eat them to denote union, harmony and happiness for the family.
In the daytime of the Festival, performances such as a dragon lantern dance, a lion dance, a land boat dance, a yangge dance, walking on stilts and beating drums while dancing will be staged. On the night, except for magnificent lanterns, fireworks form a
beautiful scene. Most families spare some fireworks from the Spring Festival and let them off in the Lantern Festival. Some local governments will even organize a fireworks party. On the night when the first full moon enters the New Year, people become really intoxicated by the imposing fireworks and bright moon in the sky.
元宵节英文介绍译文:
元宵节
每年农历的正月十五日,春节刚过,迎来的就是中国的传统节日--元宵节。
元宵主要的活动就是看灯。东汉明帝时期,明帝提倡佛教,听说佛教有正月十五日僧人观佛舍利,点灯敬佛的做法,就命令这一天夜晚在皇宫和寺庙里点灯敬佛,令士族庶民都挂灯。以后这种佛教礼仪节日逐渐形成民间盛大的节日。该节经历了由宫廷到民间,由中原到全国的发展过程。
直到今天,元宵点灯的习俗仍然在中国的各地流传的,各式各样美丽的花灯在这一天都会点亮,孩子们提着自制的灯笼走街串巷,非常高兴。
猜灯谜也是元宵节的一项重要活动,花灯的主人会将谜面写在灯笼上,挂在门口,如果有人可以猜中,就能得到小小的礼物。这项活动最早起源于宋朝,因为谜语能启迪智慧又饶有兴趣,所以流传过程中深受社会各阶层的欢迎。
民间过元宵节吃元宵的习俗。元宵由糯米制成,或实心,或带馅。馅有豆沙、白糖、山楂、各类果料等,食用时煮、煎、蒸、炸皆可。起初,人们把这种食物叫“浮圆子”,后来又叫“汤团”或“汤圆”,这些名称“团圆”字音相近,取团圆之意,象征全家人团团圆圆,和睦幸福,人们也以此怀念离别的亲人,寄托了对未来生活的美好愿望。
随着时间的推移,元宵节的活动越来越多,白天有耍龙灯、耍狮子、踩高跷、划旱船扭秧歌、打太平鼓等传统民俗表演。到了夜晚,除了五颜六色的美花灯之外,还有艳丽多姿的烟火。大多数家庭会在春节时留下一些烟花等到元宵节这天燃放,而一些地方政府也会举办烟花大会,当新年的第一个月圆之夜在盛大的烟火表演中来临时,人们都陶醉在这令人难忘了烟花与皎洁的明月中。
