新年除夕，各家各户围坐在一起吃团圆饭。饭后，人们看电视，到了午夜12点，在这辞旧迎新的时刻，人们燃放各种烟花炮竹来庆祝。新年第一天，即正月初一，所有的人都穿着最漂亮的衣服，路上相遇，互相道“新年好”，亲戚朋友拜年互赠礼物，孩子们尽情地玩耍。

我的家乡石浦渔港景色美，夜间的景色更美。

夜暮降临了，天上布满了一闪一闪的小星星。月亮姑娘跑过来了，她给小星星讲嫦娥奔月的故事。小星星们静静地站着，眨着机灵的眼睛，听得多认真啊!

天空美，渔港更美。瞧，渔港周围都是一盏盏渔灯。红的、绿的、黄的、紫的，多种多样，叫人看得眼花缭乱。这些灯形状各异，千姿百态。有的像火红的五角星，有的像无瑕的翡翠，有的像开得正盛的鲜花……金碧辉煌。灯与灯手拉手，连成了一片。

海面上，一切都在大海妈妈的怀抱里静静地躺着，随着凉爽的海风，偶尔溅起一朵朵浪花，像龙王喷出的宝珠，晶莹透亮，奇异万分。渔港里，停泊着机帆船、货船、大轮船……每只船上都亮着灯，无数的灯光倒映在水中，把海水染得五颜六色，美丽异常。“嘟嘟—”船开了，像离弦的箭一般，飞驰在海面上。倒映在海面上的灯影，随波荡漾，有的像一条条飘动的红绸带，有的像一条条游动的小金龙。周围的灯，船上的灯，灯的倒影，再加上五颜六色的海面，形成一座奇丽的“水晶宫”。我仿佛看到了龙王在饮酒，和蚌姑一起唱歌跳舞，共享欢乐。

地上的灯光，天上的星光，天地之间好像连成一片，整个渔港好像成了金碧辉煌的世界。啊，渔港的夜景真美丽!

Today, the world is globalized and more and more foreigners come to China

to seek for business cooperation. Many years ago, a non-profit organization

named the second Saturday of July as the International Day of Cooperatives. Its

purpose is to call for more cooperations between countries.

With the development of Internet, the world gets smaller, because the

communication between countries has increased. America is the superpower all the

time, but during recent times, there are so many business cooperation between

Chinese people and American people. It is known to all that China’s market is

full of vitality, so there is no doubt that cooperation between countries will

be the main trend.

The cooperation happens all the time and it promotes the working

efficiency. People can share the information and technology. They learn from

each other, so as to gain the precious experience and make progress. China is

the future, so more and more foreigners learn mandarin. They want to find a

Nowadays, divorce rate has been rising sharply in China, because most

people think that its better to get divorced than stick to a bad marriage. But

for those couples who have children, they had better think over before getting

divorced. Parents divorce may have some negative effects on their children.

Firstly, the love of father is different from the love of mother. Children need

both of the love. Without each of the love, they may not grow up healthily.

Secondly, in order to raise the family, the single parents have to work harder,

so that they may have less time to accompany with their children. The children

may feel neglected, which may cause mental problems. Besides, if the single

parents get married again, the children may get hurt by calling another person

father or mother. If they cant get along well with each other, the situation

will become even worse. Thus, for the sake of their children, parents are not

supposed to get divorced in a rush. They should think twice.

Today, many young people are crazy about their idols.

Many years ago, in

order to see the idol, a girl made her father threaten the star, finally, the

father dropped down the river and ended his life. It is such a horrible

incident, the public criticizes the girl for her blindness in worshipping star.

Many students even skip their class, just to see their idols in the airport.

What’s more, they spend a lot of money to buy the products about their idols.

The students don’t have money, they ask their parents to give the money, it is

not right to do it. The young people should treat the stars in the right way,

they need to figure what is right and wrong. If they follow their stars in the

wrong way, they will ruin themselves. So people need to support their stars in

the wise way.

Once Chairman Mao said one is never too old to learn, his famous words inspire people to keep learning all their lives. Since we are small, we study at school, then we have to learn until we are at college, after graduate from college, we finish our education in the school.

Then the new stage comes, we start to work, making money, learning knowledge seems unnecessary to us.

This is totally wrong, we learn all the time, even we are out of school, we have lessons from life.

Life is a big topic, we have to learn it all the time. We have to deal with trouble, learning to make friends and accept fail.

All these things we will not learn at school, we have to learn by ourselves, we are students and teachers. If you think you finish learning after school, you are narrow minded.

毛主席曾经说过“一个人要活到老学到老”，他的著名话语激励着人们终身学习。

当我们还小的时候，我们在学校学习，然后直到大学前，我们都要学习，大学毕业后，我们完成了在学校的学习。然后新的阶段到来，我们开始工作，挣钱，学习知识似乎不必要了。

这是完全错误的，我们一直学习，即使不在学校，我们学习生活。生活是一个大主题，我们不得不一直学习。我们要处理麻烦，学着交朋友和接受失败。所有的这些东西我们都不会在学校学到，我们必须自己学习，即是学生也是老师。如果你觉得你出了学校后就完成了学习，你的思想就很狭隘了。

家乡的味道是什么?是春天遗爱湖公园里的花团锦簇，是夏天赤壁公园里池塘边的蛙鸣，是秋天望月堤旁桂花的甜香，是冬天龙王山上的银装素裹……哦!对于一个名副其实的‘吃货’来说，家乡的味道有罗田的糖炒板栗、红安的烤红薯、黄州的东坡肉……当然绝对不能少了外婆做的包子!

说起外婆做的包子，我忍不住要流口水了，那是我心目中最美的味道，它面皮筋道，肉质鲜美，一口咬下去是满嘴汤汁但决不油腻。这么好吃的包子是怎么做成的呢?为了满足我的口福之欲和一探究竟的好奇心，外婆让我参与了她做包子的过程。

外婆把做包子材料什么的都准备好了便忙活了起来。只见外婆先把肉放在菜板上用两把刀一上一下交替地剁，那声音极有节奏，眨眼间就剁好了一大盆肉泥了。然后加工包菜丁、红萝卜丁、生姜末等等配菜，将配料和肉沫调和成肉馅备用。

接下来就是和面了。外婆在面粉里加上适量的水和碱使劲地揉。面团和好后，外婆将面团搓成粗粗的条状，然后切成大小一致的小面团，在案板上上下移动面条，边移边切，以免切出来的面团粘连。接着用擀面杖将面团压成一张张面皮。整个过程如行云流水般一气呵成，我在一旁不由得惊叹外婆娴熟的手艺和速度。外婆也不无得意地说：“别看外婆年纪大，这速度可决不会比小年轻慢哦。”

开始包馅了。外婆把肉馅挑起放在面皮中间，再将面皮轻轻合拢，一边合一边捏，很快一个包子就成型了，边上出现了一圈大小一致的褶子，像展开的花瓣一样，真好看!

总算开始蒸包子了，等待的过程漫长难捱。我在旁边不停地转悠，从蒸笼里发出包子香味，早已让我按捺不住。外婆见我猴急的样子，慈爱的刮着我的鼻子笑眯眯地说：“瞧把我家的小馋猫给急成啥样了。”火候差不多了，外婆用筷子夹了一个给我先尝尝。我迫不及待地一口咬下去，外婆心疼地说：“慢点慢点，别烫着，别急!”

品尝着那回味无穷、齿颊留香的包子，我简直陶醉了。留在舌尖上的不仅仅是包子的味道，还有满满的爱的味道!，叫我一辈子也忘不了!

我是喜欢夜晚的，它可以给我无限的遐想，可以给我无限的思维空间，可以给我！

家乡的夜晚是那么的宁静，宁静地安逸，宁静地舒爽，宁静地让人浮想联翩。喜欢故乡的夜晚，因为在那个小小的村庄，我可以一个人静静地躺在楼顶，享受夏的温存，欣赏月的洁白，看流星的陨逝；可以一个人走在乡村小道上，聆听虫鸣鸟叫，没有汽车的轰鸣，没有人际吵杂，就那样享受大自然给予的和谐。一边轻轻地呼吸新鲜的，从大自然发出的，没有污染的空气，一边享受如春暖花开般的安逸。那样的生活是美好的，是让我享用不尽的。

当火车驶出故乡的海岸线，驶出我生活了19年，驶出我不曾离开的那个海岛，就决定了我在异乡生活的开始，决定了我新的人生的起航。

当我来到这个我不曾到达的城市，这里的一切都是新鲜的，它让我产生一种去了解它的欲望。是的，这是一个很好的地方，有美丽的山，有洁净的街道，有热情的人民。但是，当我一直从中国的最南端到达这里，经历了家乡春夏秋冬的温度，我对它产生的些许好感，因为它的温度让我的身体感到舒适，让我的精神得到充沛。但是它远不如我的故乡，那个和谐健康的海岛。来到这里，我的身体有了以往未曾有过的舒适，但我的呼吸道，我的大脑，开始曾受不一样的压力，这里的空气是污浊的，是干燥的；而家乡的空气是是新鲜的，是湿润的。突然改变的生活环境让我有些不适应。

但是这里的夜晚也是那么的宁静，那么的安逸，舒爽的温度可以让我更好的遐想未来，回味过去。看着窗外阑珊的灯火，那宁静的夜空，还有夜空中那闪烁的星星，我的心思飞舞，这样的夜晚让我没有一丁点瞌睡的欲望。这样的夜晚让我不禁感觉我还在那个安逸舒适宁静的乡村，那个我怀念着的家。

Most westerners always celebrate Christmas Day as their major festival, in

order to memorialize Jesus. During that time, they always have several days off,

so they can enjoy this festival with all their hearts. The children often get

together with their friends. The adults are busy with decorating their houses.

They also send the postcards with their best wishes to each other. In the

streets, there are so many Fathers Christmas sending presents to the passers-by.

And everything is on a discount in the supermarkets. Thus the supermarkets are

the busiest places.

In the evening, the families usually have pudding, sandwiches, apple pies

and some other desserts for dinner. After supper, the families always sing and

dance around the Christmas tree. Sometimes, they also go to church. Before going

to bed, the children often hang up their stockings beside their bed, so that

Father Christmas will fill them with presents. It is said that Father Christmas

always drives a deer to the human world and entering into each house from the

chimney. Now the children no longer believe in Father Christmas, but they still

hang up their stockings, because their parents will fill them with presents.

你热爱你的家乡吗？你了解你的家乡吗？相信很多人和我一样，虽然热爱我们的家乡——美丽富饶的张家港，但却并不很了解她。通过这次“知我家乡，爱我港城”主题活动，我看到了港城的过去、现在和未来。

“团结拼搏，负重奋进，自加压力，敢于争先”——张家港精神十六个醒目的大字时刻在告诉着参观者港城巨变的真谛。当我看到“团结拼搏”这几个字的时候，眼前浮现出了双山岛上的“抗洪纪念碑”。张家港人团结拼搏，用自己的生命挡住了洪水，这不就是这个词语的最好写照吗？同时，我心里仿佛也看到了永不服输，积极上进，不断向更高目标奋斗的一代又一代张家港人。

城市建设馆里，一幅巨型港城彩色地图，写满了这个全国文明城市的辉煌；几张不同年代的照片，记录了港城脱贫致富的历程。我们的家乡在发展，我们的家乡在进步。从街头冷冷清清，到现在车流不息；从无处休闲，到今日公园满城。这些只是很小的一部分，但已经足够说明，港城百姓生活在改善，公共设施在进步，生活质量在提高。

当我看到“小城河改造工程”的字样时，脑海中浮现出了小城河的美丽景象——那是不久前的一个晚上，小城河上灯火通明，把河面照得象彩绸一样。小石桥横跨两岸，把我的思绪一下子带入到了明清时期。岸上绿树掩映的小亭阁，真是令人陶醉。可听爸爸说，以前的小城河就如一条臭水沟，和今日相比简直是天壤之别！

我又想起了位于合兴的乡下老家。原来从市区到乡下汽车要开半个多小时，现在公路就如血管一样伸向四面八方，开车只要十几分钟啦。

“小城河二期工程”、“农业技术园二期”“塘桥火车站”。一大批项目正在加速建设，以后的港城一定会更加漂亮，更加现代化。我越想越激动，越想越振奋，奋发吧，张家港，前进吧，张家港，你要向着更高、更大、更远的目标发起冲击，前进中的港城会越来越富饶，人民会越来越幸福。
