Love in high school is a very sensitive topic, the students in high school have come to the age of being mature, inside, they desire to love someone, but it is the awkward time. First, they need to focus their attention so that they can enter a better college, second, their parents are strongly objective to their love, the teachers even ban the love relationship between students. As a student, they have their own rights to love someone, the inner desire and the objection from parents and schools make them struggle to their emotions. In my opinion, high school students have so many pressure, they should put aside their love emotions for a while, they need to focus on the study, when high school time ends, they can choose their love. It is much easier, if you want to love at the time, then to love. No one will stop you.

爱在高中来说是一个很敏感的话题，高中生已经来到了即将成熟的年龄，他们渴望去爱人，但是这也是一个尴尬的时间。第一，他们需要集中精力学习，以此来考取一个好的大学，第二，他们的父母强烈反对恋爱，老师甚至禁止学生谈恋爱。作为一名学生，他们有自己的权利去爱人，内心的欲望，父母和学校的反对，让他们在情感上做挣扎。在我看来，高中生有很多压力，他们应该暂时把感情放在一边，需要集中精力学习，当高中时光结束以后，他们可以选择去爱。这容易多了，如果你那时想要去爱，就去爱。没有人会阻止你。

On one side of the brook, are farmlands stretching as far as the eyes can see with farmers busy in the fields. The sunshines brightly through the pure, fresh air. After dark, I liked to roam around the fields along footpaths. The feeling was excellent.

从小河畔望去，你会看到农民们在无垠的田地里忙碌的身影，明亮的阳光透过纯净的、清新的空气射过来。黄昏，我喜欢沿着田间小道漫步，那种感觉真是妙极了。

On the other side of the brook, there are many trees. There are lots of green bamboo groves. The trees offer nice shade in the summer, and birds like singing in them. The bamboos sway gently in the fresh summer breeze. The brook runs calmly anti quietly through all this greenness, making a very nice picture.

在小河的一边有许多树木，还有一片翠绿的竹林。夏天，绿树成荫，鸟儿们喜欢在这里唱歌，竹林在夏天的微风申轻轻摇摆,小河静静地在绿色中流淌，这些构成一幅美丽的。

This is my home village. It is far away in the country, but always with me,wherever I am.

这就是我的家乡。它虽远在乡下，但不论我身在何方，它都会伴随着我。

An activity about low carbon living

Currently,my school is launching an activity whose theme is that actions change the world to advocate the low carbon living.

In the activity,we are required to go to school or some other place by bike or by foot as much as possible instead of by bus.And when the Christmas comes,sending e-greeting cards instead of tridional cards of which are made of wood as we know.Besides,we should use both sides of every piece of paper and we should save water as well as electricity.

I believe that only we do thus can we have a better living environment.

There are still many problems of environmental protection in recent years. One of the most serious problems is the serious pollution of air, water and soil. the polluted air does great harm to people’s health. The polluted water causes diseases and death. What is more, vegetation had been greatly reduced with the rapid growth of modern cities.

To protect the environment, governments of many countries have done a lot. Legislative steps have been introduced to control air pollution, to protect the forest and sea resources and to stop any environmental pollution. Therefore, governments are playing the most important role in the environmental protection today. AD:From Joozone.Com.

In my opinion, to protect environment, the government must take even more concrete measures. First, it should let people fully realize the importance of environmental protection through education. Second, much more efforts should be made to put the population planning policy into practice, because more people means more people means more pollution. Finally, those who destroy the environment intentionally should be severely punished. We should let them know that destroying environment means destroying mankind themselves.

My hometown is in Gansu Lixian, there are many mountains.

In the distance, the mountains look like a green planet surrounded by forests. The stone on the mountain dressed the mountain as a world of stone.

The trees grow more luxuriantly in summer and dress up as green cashmere. The mountain terraces like people walking the steps, also like the mountains in Grandpa smile.

The mountain became a yellow world in autumn, and the fruits and crops were ripe, and the mountain was like a magician, constantly changing crops and fruits for human beings.

In winter the mountains covered with a white dress, like an angel, in the fog, the mountains like a bottomless mountain, no matter how you cant see the mountain bottom.

This is the mountain of my hometown all the year round, I love it.

Lanzhouis situated in the temperate zone and enjoys a semi-arid climate (Kppen BSk) with hot summers and very cold and dry winters. Mean annual rainfall is 315 millimetres (12.4 in), almost all of which falls from May to October. The winters are so dry that snow is extremely rare.

In regard to air pollution Lanzhou has some of the worst air quality of all cities in China. According to the Blacksmith Institute, Lanzhou is one of the 30 most polluted cities in the world, with its TSP (total suspended particle) rating 247% above that of the Gansu State recommendation. The air quality is so poor that at times one can not see Lanshan, the mountain rising straight up along the south side of the city. At one point, a controversial suggestion was put forward to bulldoze a mountain adjacent to the city, in order to let fresh air in to the bowl where Lanzhou is situated. It was suggested on the premise that the surrounding mountains block a free flow of air in the city. The city is located in a narrow river valley with an unfortunate curve causing it to be hemmed in with no free air flow. Lanzhou is also the home of many factories, including some involved in petroleum processing, and suffers from large dust storms kicked up from the Gobi Desert, especially in the winter and spring.

大的不去说，作为一个小学生的我，最让我深有体会的是我们家门口的那条马路，原来是一条窄窄的，坑坑洼洼的小马路，并且旁边还有一条臭水沟，因为是条死河，一到夏天就冒泡，一阵阵的臭味扑鼻而来，虽然一直有工作人员抽干，再放水，但一直没有什么效果。小马路一到下雨天就有一个个水潭，汽车、自行车、摩托车、行人经常会堵塞交通。旁边的店面也是矮矮的，不是很明亮的那种。现在臭水河已经不复存在了，小马路也变成了宽宽的柏油路，并且设立了路灯、斑马线、红绿灯、人行道，再也不会有堵塞的现象了。马路两侧开满了各种商店，商店的招牌也全都换成了夜光的，哪怕是在晚上也一眼就能望得清清楚楚。每天的早上，晚上就有许多的老爷爷、老奶奶在马路两边的休息道上锻炼身体，舞剑的，打拳的，跳舞的，竞走的……热闹极了，这在以前是从来没有过的。

为了让我的家乡更进步，让我们共同努力吧!

In order to make our hometown more progress, let us work together!

我的家乡，在河北的一个小山村里。

听妈妈说，这几年来，那儿的变化可大啦。要不，我带你去瞧瞧。在改革开放以前，我的家乡十分的贫穷和落后，就从“住”说起吧。十几年前的住房，每个人就只有小小的一间屋子，一家人好几口挤在一间小屋子里，还要放一些柜子呀、桌子呀、椅子等物品，这样人们似乎连转个身的地方都没有了。

可现在呢？人们都搬进了新居，那些破旧的土房早就没人住了。许多的家用电器，像什么冰箱、电视机、洗衣机、空调都搬进了一个个住户家里。还有很多高科技产品，比如电脑、电话等、也都“争先恐后”的搬进了居民们的家里面。发展快吧！再说说“衣”吧。十几年前的衣柜里，就那么小小的一个衣柜就可以把全家人的衣服全装进去。在那个年代里，无论老的、少的、男的、女的，衣服常常是新三年，旧三年，缝缝补补又三年。

如今，做衣服的已经不多了，走在街上，随处可见到卖衣服、卖鞋的，而且，在商店里衣服的款式、花样也很多，有休闲服、运动服、西服等，比比皆是。

说完了“衣”，也该说说“行”了吧。记得妈妈以前说过，他们那个年代，走的都是一下雨、下雪就变得泥泞的田间小路，而且一走就是走个几十里路都不带停歇的，而当时富裕一点的，就是骑着自行车去。现如今，几乎家家都有小汽车、轿车的。就是没有的，也有班车、火车，掏个三四块钱，马上就可以到，真是方便极了！近几年来的家乡环境变化也很大，记得以前挨着路边的那条臭水沟，常常是人们要到垃圾的对象。

还有那片空地，那里也时不时有一些垃圾袋飘过来，破坏了环境。现在，那条臭水沟也奇迹般的改变了自己的模样，变成了一条干净的能看见水底的水池，旁边还围了一圈鹅卵石和静静躺在地上的小草。成了整个厂子的一角风景。那片空地。变成了草坪，中间还有“心”型的喷泉，中间还有一些小鱼儿。还有自然申曲小路，和最上面的凉亭，近几年来还安装了一些健身器材。每到下午，老年人就会来这里散步。

看到我的家乡变化了吧？现在，看到家乡人一个个都鼓起了腰包，心里真骄傲。

When I go to high school, our school has the rule to ask students to live

in the dormitory. Most students live with their parents before, so we all feel

excited and afraid of the group life. Luckily, I have three nice roommates. Soon

we become close friends. Living with others, we learn to do the house work, such

as everyone needs take turn to clean the floor, when we have something good to

eat, we will share with each other. The group life makes us have less private

space, but we enjoy the moment when we have the little talk before sleep, the

secrets that we dont want our parents know can talk to these girls. Whats

more, I become much independent. I learn to take care of myself and have really

grown up.

I love my hometown, love the hometown of mountain and water. The faint mountain, QingLinLin water, always lingering in my mind, in the depths of my memory.

Mountain located in the hometown of the figure to the said. As long as you ascend the stairs, they will see the thousands and thousands of stone. They sometimes depend on each other, like in a whisper, that look like a shy girl, his head back to visitors; Others stand high, rise up, seems to be the day, this is to express the heart of passion; And the rocks here and a pile of a pile of urchin to is in game... How interesting.

But I just love the slopes of trees and flowers. The spring flowers in boom and cup yan; Jiamu green summer, the ground of the tree, the cool breeze... What a charming scenery. I often went up into the mountain, in the summer vacation so Yu Guo trees, there shows how a beautiful picture! Banana tree bursts with broad leaves, bathed in sunshine, is green and luxuriant. And punch in a bunch of bananas, is the most tantalizing to hide and seek with person, half block half mask, his body is stuck on the trunk. In pipa woods and dont have a kind of atmosphere, towering towering trees cover around the sorching summer, the occasional one day fall on the ground, the forest is so cool, pipa qing qing, call you scratching in dim light where it is.

Reiki comes from the water of the mountain, had a canal in the mountainside flat flowing clear water all day long, occasionally see fish in the canal, if they are empty swim no country.

Is the water of life, make the lingshan, moist fertile flowers and trees, also moistens up the hearts.

I stood at the top of the mountain, overlooking the distant: all fields, and vitality of a heart can not help but praise: "ah, how spectacular jiangshan so much jiao, made countless heroes bow in homage." I sincerely praise the hometown of mountain and water, I sing the hometown of mountain and water.

我爱我的家乡，更爱家乡的山和水。那清幽幽的山，清粼粼的水，无时无刻不萦绕在我的心头，留在我的记忆深处。

家乡的山以怪石着称。只要你拾级而上，便会看到山上数以千计万记、姿态各异的石头。它们有的互相依靠，像是在说悄悄话，那神情宛如羞涩的少女，将头背向游人;有的则高高站起，抬头向上，似乎要对天长啸，以抒发心中的激情;还有的山石这儿一堆那儿一堆向是在游戏的顽童……多有趣啊。

但我偏偏爱的是那漫山遍野的花草树木。春天百花万紫千红、争奇斗妍;夏日佳木翠绿，树阴满地、凉风送爽……真是一派迷人的好风景。我常在暑假上山，流连于果树林之中，那里所展示的是怎样一幅美景啊!芭蕉树绽着宽阔的枝叶，沐浴着阳光，青翠欲滴，最撩人的是一串串的香蕉，向跟人捉迷藏似的，半遮半掩，把自己的身躯紧紧靠在树干上。而在琵琶林里又别有一种气氛，周围高耸参天的树木遮住炎炎夏日，偶尔有一两点余光洒落在地面上，林中阴凉极了，琵琶青青的，在暗淡的光线下叫你摸不着它在哪儿。

山的灵气来自于水，在山腰平坦处有一水渠终日流淌着清澈见底的水，渠中偶尔也见小鱼，它们皆若空游无所依。

是这生命的水，造就了灵山，滋润了沃土花木，也滋润着家乡人的心田。

我站在山顶，眺望着远方：田垄方方，一派勃勃生机，心中不禁赞叹：“多么壮观啊，江山如此多娇，引无数英雄竞折腰。”我衷心地赞美家乡的山和水啊，我歌唱家乡的山和水。

Hi, TigerMom ,

What puzzles you is actually a puzzle for many parents in China . My idea

is that it is quite right for you to do so .

Although high grades are an important factor in evaluating students and for

their future university admission , development in wisdom emotion ,health and

life attitude should never be ignored . There are many examples around us . Some

all—A students in school have turned out not to be as successful in society as

they were expected. The reason is often that the pressure from their parents

allows them almost no time for other activities . Furthermore , punishment is by

no means a wise choice to help them grow up mentally and physically .

So I suggest that you take your friends’ advice . More importantly, let her

live like a lovely girl ; let her have more friends and social activities ; and

let her make mistakes of her own as we teenagers often do .

Henan has a humid warm-temperate climate. Dry and windy in winter and spring, the province is hot and rainy in summer and bakes in strong sunlight during the autumn months. Rainfall averages about 600-1000 millimeters increasing from north to south, as does the annual temperature which increases from about 12.8C in the north to 15.5C in the south.

Henan province is considered the cradle of Chinese civilization due to its location on the Yellow River. This rich historic heritage has endowed Henan with numerous historic treasures, from primitive dwellings to earliest wheel thrown pottery. The remains of some of the earliest human settlements have been unearthed here, including the over 7000-year-old Peiligang Culture Site, the 6000-year-old Yangshao Culture Remains and the 5000-year-old Dahe Culture Remains. All these cultural remains have profound significance in the history of Chinese civilization.

Luoyang City has been the capital of nine dynasties since the time of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty (770BC-221BC). There are many historical sites to be viewed in Luoyang as well as the opportunity to purchase replicas of the famed Tang three-glaze horses. Luoyangs Longmen Grottoes, famous for its grand treasure trove of Chinese Buddhist statues, are located 12km (7 miles) south of Luoyang. First sculpted and chiseled around 493 AD when the capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty (386-534) was moved from Datong City to Luoyang, the grottoes of Luoyang house an awe-inspiring collection of sculpted Buddha and other religious subjects.

Kaifeng, one of the ancient capitals, also boasts the following buildings worthy of a visit: Iron Pagoda (Tie Ta) of the Northern Song Dynasty (960-1127), Dragon Pavilion (Long Ting) - site of imperial palace of the Song and Jin dynasties - and the 1400-year-old Xiangguo Temple which is one of the most famous Buddhist temples in China. Also on view in Kaifeng are ruins of the Shang Dynasty, an important part of human cultural and historic heritage. The Shang Dynasty Ruins, also known as the Yin Ruins, are famous because of the unique style of the large palace and its grand mausoleums, in which emperors of the Shang Dynasty are buried. The bronze vessels of the Shang Dynasty, which were both finely decorated and popularly used by the citizens of the Shang Dynasty, are well-known at home and abroad.
