There is nothing complicated about eating a proper diet. For good health,

eat a variety of foods. Do not eat the same foods day after day! Foods should be

selected everyday from each of basic four. They are the four groups of food

essential to proper nutrition: the milk group, meat group, vegetable-fruit

group, and bread- cereal group, Your body will then be supplied with all the

nutrients it requires; they are water, minerals, carbohydrate, fats and oils,

proteins, and vitamins. A persons diet is determined by his attitudes, likes

and dislikes. If you eat foods from each of the basic four groups each day, you

will have a balanced diet.

The Chinese character "fu" (meaning blessing or happiness) is a must. The character put on paper can be pasted normally or upside down, for in Chinese the "reversed fu" is homophonic with "fu comes", both being pronounced as "fudaole." Whats more, two big red lanterns can be raised on both sides of the front door. Red paper-cuttings can be seen on window glass and brightly colored New Year paintings with auspicious meanings may be put on the wall.

People attach great importance to Spring Festival Eve. At that time, all family members eat dinner together. The meal is more luxurious than usual. Dishes such as chicken, fish and bean curd cannot be excluded, for in Chinese, their pronunciations, respectively "ji", "yu" and "doufu," mean auspiciousness, abundance and richness. After the dinner, the whole family will sit together, chatting and watching TV. In recent years, the Spring Festival party broadcast on China Central Television Station (CCTV) is essential entertainment for the Chinese both at home and abroad. According to custom, each family will stay up to see the New Year in.

There are many people are deaf among the sixty billion population. They dont have a sound body. They have to face much more difficulties than common people in their daily life. However, there is a big problem they have to face. It is the unfair treatment. As they are disabled, they often looked down upon or teased by others. Many people regard them as useless. In fact, this behavior is not approval. The deaf are human beings that need to be treated equality. They can also make contribution or be useful people for the society. They just couldnt see everything by eyes instead of foolish. For example, Helen Keller is a blind person, but she uses her own story to inspire thousands of people around the world. So, I think we should give a chance to the deaf. Do not discriminate them and try your best to offer them help. The world will be a better world.

在六十亿人口中有很大一部分是聋人。他们并不拥有健全的身体。他们在日常生活中要比普通人面对更多的困难。然而，有一个他们不得不面对的大问题。那就是不公平待遇。他们都是残疾人，往往会被歧视或欺负。很多人认为他们是废人。事实上，这种行为是不应该的。聋人也是人类也需要公平对待。他们也可以为社会做贡献或成为对社会有用的人。他们只是眼睛看不到东西并不是笨蛋。例如，海伦凯勒就是盲人，但是她用她自己的故事来激励了世界各地成千上万的人。所以，我认为我们应该给聋人一个机会。不歧视他们，尽量帮助他们。世界将会变得更美好。

A dream is to a man what wings are to a bird. With a dream in the deep heart＇s core, a man is spontaneously driven to hitch his wagon to a star. A dream is an inexhaustible source of energy that keeps our enthusiasm burning, and kindles our desire to enhance our spiritual cultivation, refine our character, and upgrade our quality of life. A life without a dream is like a bird with broken wings, confined to a cage and oblivious of what lies beyond the range of its vision. On the contrary, a man with a dream is like a warrior armed with ambition, foresight and gallantry, daring to step into an unknown domain to make a journey of adventure. It is dream that adds fullness, variety, and spice to our life and makes it worth living.

I have a dream. It is a dream that is deeply rooted in human nature. I dream that one day people of all origins can live in harmony and peace without being discriminated against or persecuted. the bounty of the earth can be shared by every single human being. Mutual respect will guarantee the existence and continuation of the diversity of customs and cultures. Love, sympathy, and cooperation will alleviate the sufferings and disasters inflicted upon our fellow men. Respect for basic human rights will put an end to social injustices and evils. When my dream comes true, all men will be truly equal, happy, and free.

Last week, our teacher gave us a task. We needed to interview some people

and collect different opinions. At first, I felt it a difficult task, because I

was such a shy person that I dared not to talk to strangers. In order to finish

the task, I cooperated with my classmates. They helped me to ask people for a

second, then I started to talk with them in a comfortable way. I felt much eased

soon and no longer felt shy. Now I get over my fear and become stronger. This is

the good sign of growing up. I am so thankful to my classmates. Without their

help, I wont go that far.

Oh, do you think this boy is really ill-looking? He is my classmate in school. His name is Dai Shunxin. Do you think his face just likes a piece of square and white paper? He looks very poor. His hair is matted and brown. He has a crew cut. His eyes aren’t watery at all, and they’re fishlike. His nose is also ill-looking, and it’s a hooked nose. He has jagged teeth and his teeth aren’t very clean. He is bended, so he looks very short. He is ugly but he usually has a sunny smile. Though he is really ill-looking and everybody usually laughs at him, he studies very hard!

哦，你认为这个男孩是真的病了吗?他是我的同班同学在学校。他的名字是傣族顺鑫。你认为他的脸就像一张方形的和白色的纸吗?他看上去很穷。他的头发乱蓬蓬的，棕色的。他有一个平头。他的眼睛不流泪的话，他们的鱼。他的鼻子是病态的，和它的鹰钩鼻子。他有锯齿状的牙齿和牙齿不太干净。他是弯曲的，所以他看起来很短。他是丑陋的但他通常有一个灿烂的微笑。虽然他是真的病了，看，通常每个人都嘲笑他，他学习非常努力!

The bell ring the bell... ! The bell rang for class, this class is a language lesson, I thought to myself, dont know what the teacher the class who can speak the text?

Originally, the teacher in the classroom to tell us a little about "friendship", is about a man named jack Bauer students have difficulty in solving arithmetic word problems, homework often please help, some students will let jack Bauer copy his homework again. Cockroaches think this classmate enough "friends". Some classmates tell jack about problem-solving ideas and steps, only let him think independently finish the homework, he felt that classmate enough "friendship". The teacher finished, lets think about what students help jack Bauer is right? What is true friendship? I wanted to think, to help jack Bauer on topic ideas and steps of classmate is right, because only in this way, small strong in such a problem he would do it, but afterward he could slowly homework independently. And those who put their homework let jack Bauer copy again, it is not good, also not the real "friendship", if you do this, he will slowly form the bad habit of relying on.

Remember once, I was doing, I dont know a word, my deskmate Chen told me that my next time when I meet the word will be read. She often help me, so now I think its a true friendship.

铃铃铃……!上课的铃声敲响了，这堂课是语文课，我心里想，不知道老师这堂课会讲什么课文呢?

原来，老师在课堂上给我们讲了一个关于《友谊》的小短文，是讲一个叫小强的同学在解算术应用题有困难，写作业时常请同学帮助，有的同学就把自己的作业让小强抄一遍。小强认为这样的同学够“朋友”。有的同学只给小强讲讲解题的思路和步骤，让他自己动脑筋独立完成作业，他觉得这样的同学不够“交情”。老师讲完了，让我们想一想哪些同学帮助小强是对的?什么才叫真正的友谊?我想了想，帮助小强讲解题思路和步骤的同学是对的，因为只有这样，小强在遇到这样的难题他就会做出来，以后自己就能慢慢的独立完成作业了。而那些把自己作业让小强抄一遍的同学，这样做是不对的，也不叫真正的“友谊”，如果这样做，他就会慢慢的养成依赖的坏习惯。

记得有一次，我在做题时，我有一个字不认识，我的同桌陈逸飞告诉我，我下次在遇到这个字的时候就会读了。她经常这样帮助我，我觉得这样才叫真正的友谊。

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.

Grateful mother, it is hard, she endured the October be pregnant is looking forward to I will be in the room. As my first sound loud cry, the mother began to day after day, year after year endless sacrifice, for I worry, complaint or regret, care and parenting, I carefully. Let me live in happy happy environment, let me free to healthy growth.

Grateful mother, is she taught me to learn to be, is she taught me how to communicate with partners communicate with each other, is she taught me to help and love from person to person. Is the most profound in my memory on one occasion, my mother and I go home together, home cousin are playing a game model of the toys, I also very want to play a gun up, but my cousin take back, I was punched in the past, my cousin also dont get back to me, so we played together. When my mother saw hurriedly pulled me aside to. Because I am the only child in the home at ordinary times, everybody affectionately to me, this let me formed the character of swashbuckling would not agree. Wanted to mom this time will call my cousin to give me play the toy, but mother didnt do that, but pulled me aside to me to apologize to my cousin. At first I hated cousin very much in the heart, which will easily agree? Mother looked at will comfort me and patiently enlighten me, give me about the story of "jung let pear". After listening to the story, I also recognize the fault, and apologize to my cousin to apologize. Since then my Cousins and I are very friendly to get along, never quarrel with each other. Mothers teachings in my young mind leave deep memory, in my own life to learn to be nice, tolerance, apologize to each other.

Grateful mother, is she gave me the most unselfish love, she is always worried about my food, clothing, shelter, line. Thank for a mother for giving me the concern of dribs and drabs. The ancients cloud: "dripping of grace, when animals are reported". Ancient huang-xiang temperature had seats, carp lying ice... The story of 24 filial piety. This is Chinas mule Meng Peijie touched story. But now there is something in my gratitude for the mother of way, also dont finish. From now, I want to help my mother share housework more at ordinary times, reduce the mothers work, study hard work more at ordinary times, in order to reduce the worry about mother. Give mother some greetings, as she poured tea water, wipe the sweat back rubs.

All in all, to thank for a mother for too much too much, I remember meng jiao has become a "the wanderer", "the loving mother hand line, wandering onto clothing. Departure thick seam, meaning fear of delay. Who made the heart-inch grass, at a three chunhui." Now I also send the poem to my mother, to express my gratitude to my mother.

感恩母亲，是她忍着十月怀胎的艰苦，期待着我将临人间。随着我的第一声洪亮的啼哭，母亲就开始日复一日，年复一年无休止地为我操心、操劳，无怨无悔，细心地呵护着、养育着我。让我生活在欢乐幸福的环境中，让我无忧无虑地健康成长。

感恩母亲，是她教会我学会做人，是她教会我如何去与伙伴们相互沟通交流，是她教会我人与人之间要互助互爱。在我记忆最深刻的是有一次，我和妈妈一起回老家，老家的表哥正在玩一个游戏模型玩具，我见了也很想玩就一把抢了过来，可表哥又抢了回去，我便一拳打过去，表哥也不让回打了我，于是我们便打了起来。这时妈妈见了急忙把我拉到一边去。平时因我是家中独生子，大家都对我疼爱有加，这让我养成了霸气十足不肯服输的个性。本想妈妈这回会叫表哥把玩具让给我玩，可是妈妈却没那样做，而是把我拉到一边要我向表哥道歉。起初我心中非常恨表哥，哪肯轻易服输呢?妈妈见状就不断安慰我并耐心地启迪我，给我讲起了“孔融让梨”的故事。听了这个故事后我也认识到了自已的错，便向表哥道歉认错。从那以后我跟表哥之间都非常友好地相处，再也没吵架过。母亲的教诲在我幼小的心灵留下深刻的记忆，使我在自己的生活中学会友善待人、互相宽容、互相歉让。

感恩母亲，是她把最无私的爱给了我，是她时时刻刻牵挂着我的衣、食、住、行。感谢母亲给予我的点点滴滴的关心。古人云：“滴水之恩，当涌泉相报”。古有黄香温席、卧冰求鲤……二十四孝的故事。今有感动中国孝女孟佩杰的故事。可如今的我对母亲的感恩有千言万语也道不尽，诉不完。从今起，我平时要多帮妈妈分担家务，减少母亲的操劳，平时多努力学习功课，以减少母亲的操心。多给母亲一些问候，为她倒茶端水，擦汗捶背。

总之，要感谢母亲的事太多太多了，我记起孟郊曾作过一首《游子吟》，“慈母手中线，游子身上衣。临行密密缝，意恐迟迟归。谁言寸草心，报得三春晖。”如今我也把这首诗送给我的母亲，以表达我对母亲的感恩之情。

My hometown is in the northeast, where there is a lake called "jingbo.

In the spring, the willows of the jingbo drew new yaren, bamboo shoots also emerge from the ground. The animals are awake: frog crawling around, waiting for the arrival of the summer; The little squirrel jump around, to look for food to the...

Summer, jingbo is full of vitality. Round the lake decorated with all kinds of small stone, stone is covered by green moss. The green of little noise in the grass, the quietly open a flower, for these made up a simple wreath. Water is so clear, can see the lake sand. There are fish in the water. May be it is because there are fish, so drew green duck. Each duck holding the bottom jump into the water, the frog also called on the lotus leaf.

Autumn has come, the maple leaves fall. Leaves fall around the perimeter of the lake, like only butterflies. The weather gradually turned cold. Frogs, turtles, green ducks are returned to the cave.

Finally look forward to in the winter! Its snowing. A gust of wind blowing, diffuse to a layer of mist on the horizon. Heavy fog, not as long as its snowing. After a while, just like white snow began to fall. First and falls, then gradually expand, flying, the earth covered with a layer of "silver". A piece of white between heaven and earth.

Ah! These are beautiful! I love these!

我的家乡在东北，那里有一个湖叫“镜泊湖”。

春天，镜泊湖旁的柳树抽出新芽儿了，竹笋也从地里钻出来了。动物们都苏醒了：青蛙爬来爬去，等待夏天的到来;小松鼠跳来跳去，去找吃的去了……

夏天，镜泊湖充满生机。湖的四周镶嵌着各种各样的小石头，石头上还覆盖着嫩绿的青苔。那绿的没有一点儿杂色的草，那悄悄开放着的花朵，给镜泊湖编了个朴素的花环。水是那样清，清的能看见湖底的沙粒。水里还有鱼。可能正是因为有鱼，所以引来了绿毛鸭。一只只鸭子抱着屁股往水里跳，青蛙也在荷叶上叫个不停。

秋天来了，枫树掉叶子了。叶子掉在湖的四周，就像一只只蝴蝶。天气逐渐变冷了。青蛙，乌龟，绿毛鸭都回山洞去了。

终于盼到冬天了!下雪了。一阵风吹来，从地平线上漫来一层轻雾。雾重起来，没有多久就下雪了。过了一会儿，就下起了白花般的雪。先是零零落落，后来逐渐扩大，横飞过来，给大地披上了一层“银装”。天地间一片洁白。

啊!镜泊湖真美!我爱镜泊湖!

The book is an indispensable part of people, gorky once said: "books are the ladder of human progress."

Book, give me knowledge and give me wisdom, is reading I learned that Huang Detian teacher wrote "mingle" by the book, let me know how a lot of life philosophy.

After I finished reading the book "mingle", I didnt find the book he is our knowledge of an ocean, with books is the most lucky thing, in the "center", I read the contents inside, is he let me understand the center of this a few words to understand, in life, I still is to respect teachers, respect for their parents, their words, we are going to listen to, because they are more knowledgeable than we, therefore, their knowledge, skills, are stronger than we; Because they love us very much, so, they will repeatedly told us that we should never complacent, dont like some people, dont respect teachers in school, no respect for their parents in the home, often with teachers and parents talk back, never go to think about it, is for the sake of his good teachers, parents, will only complain their parents and teachers, teachers and parents are sometimes said to avoid wrong shipment, a review of the wrong you, that also should correct in suitable places, and have to wait for each other to calm down, just to negotiate this matter peacefully, but also by the other party, dont mad at go against them, this will only make them more more anger, only calm, calm to solve the problem, the other has said, jun not smell "dont listen to the old man said, suffer in at the moment."

书是人们不可缺少的一部分，高尔基也曾经说过：“书是人类进步的阶梯。“

书，赋予我知识、赋予我智慧，看书是我了解到黄德甜老师所写的《语重心长》通过这本书，让我懂得了不少的人生哲理。

在我读完《语重心长》这本书后，我才发觉到书他是我们知识的一片海洋，能与书为友是最庆幸的事，在《语重心长》里，我读懂了里面的内容，是他让我明白了语重心长这几个字的理解，在生活中的我，仍然是要懂得尊重师长、尊重父母，他们的话，我们要听，因为他们的见识比我们多，所以，他们的学识、技能也比我们强;因为他们十分关爱我们，所以，他们才会反复叮嘱我们，我们千万不要自以为是，不要像一些人，在校不尊重师长、在家不尊重父母，而经常与师长、父母顶嘴，从不去想想，师长、父母是为了他好，只会心里埋怨自己的父母与师长，难免有时师长、父母是会说错批、评错你，那也要在适合的场所纠正，和必须等对方冷静下来，才和平地去谈判这件事情，而不要在对方还在气头上去顶撞他们，这样只会更加的让他们更怒气，只有心平气和、冷静才能解决问题，古句也有说国，君不闻“不听老人言，吃亏在眼前。”

Yesterday was my birthday, so some of my classmates sent me presents. Mother prepared a tea party for me. I invited all of them to come and take part in it.The tea party began at half past six. There were cold drinks and refreshments. We ate, talked and laughed. We felt that we were the happiest men in the world.Time passed quickly. In a twinkling, the clock on the wall struck nine. We could not but say “Good-bye” to one another

【参考译文】

昨天是我的生日，所以，有几位我的同班同学送了我礼品。母亲给我准备一个茶会。我邀请他们都前来参加。茶会下午六点半开始。有冷饮和点心。我们又吃又谈又笑。我们觉得是世界上最快乐的人。时间过得很快。转瞬间，墙上的钟敲九点了。我们不得不互道再见。

There was a man who had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn to not judge

things too quickly. So he sent them each on a quest，in turn，to go and look at a

pear tree that was a great distance away.

The first son went in the winter，the second in the spring，the third in

summer，and the youngest son in the fall.

When they had all gone and come back，he called them together to describe

what they had seen.

The first son said that the tree was ugly，bent，and twisted. The second son

said no - it was covered with green buds and full of promise.

The third son disagreed，he said it was laden with blossoms that smelled so

sweet and looked so beautiful，it was the most graceful thing he had ever

seen.

The last son disagreed with all of them;he said it was ripe and drooping

with fruit，full of life and fulfillment.

The man then explained to his sons that they were all right，because they

had each seen but one season in the tree‘s life. He told them that you cannot

judge a tree，or a person，by only one season，and that the essence of who they are

- and the pleasure，joy，and love that come from that life - can only be measured

at the end，when all the seasons are up.

If you give up when it‘s winter，you will miss the promise of your

spring，the beauty of your summer，fulfillment of your fall. Don’t let the pain of

one season destroy the joy of all the rest.
