The Laba Festival is a traditional Chinese holiday celebrated on the eighth day of the twelfth month of the lunar Chinese calendar. "La" is the name given to the 12th lunar month and 8 is pronounced as "ba" in Chinese, which translated is "Laba." There are several legends about the origin of this festivity and we could not tell which one is true. But what we know today is that this festival started as a sacrificial offering to ancestors. It was also a time for the ancient Chinese to pray to heaven and earth that there would be a bountiful harvest. Many people hoped for good luck as well for the coming year.

农历十二月初八是中国的传统节日——腊八节，腊代表中国农历的十二月，而八是eight的发音，因此，这个节日被翻译成腊八。关于腊八起源的传说有很多，我们已经不能辨其真假。时至今日，我们确定的是这个节日起初是为了祭祀祖先，祈求丰收以及为即将来到的一年祈福。

Traditionally, the Laba rice porridge is the most important element of the festival. Generally, the porridge contains eight ingredients which can include glutinous rice, red beans, millet, Chinese sorghum, peas, dried lotus seeds and some other ingredients, such as dried dates, chestnut meat, walnut meat, almond, peanut, etc. The porridge must be boiled for many hours and then offered as a sacrifice to the ancestors. This must be done before noontime. Also, it is tradition that family members eat the porridge together. Then they leave some as a symbol of hope for a good harvest the coming year.

从传统上讲，腊八粥是腊八节最重要的元素。腊八粥通常由八种材料做成，这些材料可以是黏米，红豆，小米，高粱，豌豆，莲子和一些诸如红枣，栗子，核桃仁，杏仁，花生等谷物。粥要熬制数小时，然后作为祭品祭献给祖先。这个祭祀活动一定要在中午之前完成。之后，家人们坐在一起吃腊八粥也就成了传

Another custom is the soaking of Laba garlic. Garlic is soaked in vinegar for more than twenty days starting from Laba festival. Then when the Chinese New Year comes, the garlic and vinegar is used alongside jiaozi on the table.

腊八节的另一传统式腌制腊八蒜。从腊八节那天起，就将蒜泡在醋中二十多天，这样，到春节的时候，就可以在餐桌上与饺子同食了。

Tomb Sweeping Day is on the April 5th every year. Its a day to show our great respect to our deceased ancestors. On that day, we usually sweep the tomb of our ancestors and offer them food and drinks. We also burn paper money to them. It is believed that our ancestors in heaven will receive the money. Besides, everything in our nature takes on a new look on that day, so its the best time for spring outing. It must be fun and relaxing.

children should be loved

most of us own a simple and good life. city born and city bred, we sometimes imagine the idyllic pastoral scene such as the friendly people, the clean atmosphere, the closeness to nature and the gentle pace of living. in face, everything has its pros and cons. the other side of picture is that leftover children have become a heavy topic nowadays, because most parents of these children consider that to feed their children well and to let them grow up health and safe in body are the most important task.however, as a matter of fact, in addition to provide the basic needs for their children, parents should pay more attention to their childrens psychological needs and their education.

for one thing, parents who cannot accompany their children often need to pay more attention to their childrens psychological needs.therefore, it seems to me that government can set up a parents school for these children on holidays and organize" hand-in-hand" activity to call on more people to help them. we can also raise money to donate to these children. as the song says:"if everyone gives their love, the world will be better." its very important for us to pay more attention to these children if we want to build a harmonious society.

for another, education of leftover children is also quite important. as the saying goes, “knowledge can change our fate”, education is an effective way to change the future of those children. in order to make those leftover children grow up in health, therefore, we need to show more concern about their psychological needs and their education.

in my view, leftover children should be encouraged to live with or near their parents, which is very helpful for them to be loved and concerned, they also can have a simple and good life.

Our life occur a lot of things nearly every day. Some we may forget and some we may remember. There is one thing I won’t forget forever. It is the birth of my little sister. Before she comes to the world, I have imagined thousand times what she looks. In fact, although I have guessed so many times, I still couldn’t hit the point. I never know that a newborn child will be so tiny and wrinkle. But she just likes an angel. Seeing her, I feel my heart get warm right away. I couldn’t forget the moment I saw her.

在我们生活中几乎每天都会发生很多事情。有些我们可能忘记了，有些我们可能会记得。但有一件事我永远都不会忘记。那就是我的小妹妹的出生。在她来到这个世界之前，我想象过千万次她的样子。事实上，虽然我已经猜了那么多次，我仍然没猜中。我不知道一个刚出生的孩子会是那么的小和皱巴巴的。但是她就像天使一样。看到她，我的心都马上暖起来。我无法忘记见到她的那一刻。

生活中有无数种运动，三天三夜也说不完：乒乓球、网球、篮球、跑步……但是最让我难忘的，就是游泳。因为它，我改变了对运动的看法，并得到了勇气。

还记得小时候，我三天两头就去医院。天生不喜欢运动的我，养成了安静的坐着，养成了不爱锻炼的坏习惯。后来，心焦的父母把我送去了市育才幼儿园，报了游泳班。

还记得第一次进游泳馆，看着荡漾又清澈的池水，我心中虽然也有雀跃，但是想到要进去游泳，我的心不禁紧缩了起来，就连腿都好像要抽筋了一样。我戴着臂浮，哭丧着脸，看着高大魁梧的游泳老师，心里不停地敲着小鼓，心想：这游泳池那么深，如果我下去了，说不定会被淹死的。这时，教练开口了，要我们在水中围着池沿爬一个来回。看着小伙伴们高兴的扑通扑通的跳进游泳池，我不停地后退、后退，直到泳池边还剩下我一个人，我用哀求的目光看着老师，可是老师还是坚定的注视着我。

师命难违，我只好下水，水很凉，让人精神一震。在荡漾的池水中，我做乌龟状，探头探脑，怎么也迈不开腿。当看着小伙伴们打打闹闹地离我越来越远，我只好慢慢的爬了起来。渐渐的，我熟悉了水中爬行的技巧，速度加快了起来，可谓是渐入佳境，我哼起了小曲，悠闲自在地爬向前方。

也许是因为太放松了，我竟然试着用一只手扶着池沿爬行。突然，一个水波打在我的手上，我的手一个不小心松开了池沿，我意识到，这次是回不去了，但我还有很多事想做呢，我想吃妈妈做的西红柿炒鸡蛋，再去一次动物园，再种一棵小树苗……当时我不知道有多么的害怕，等了一会儿，我并没有下沉，而是轻飘飘的浮在水面上，我一看，以为我已经变成了动画片里的小天使，在天空中飞翔，但我错了，我还在水里，我听见教练在叫我：“这么厉害呀！第一次游就会离开池沿，真不错！”我明白了我的处境后，露出了两颗大门牙，冲着教练笑了笑，去一边游了。

从此，我喜欢上了游泳，并爱上了运动，在夏天，水是多么的清凉啊，于是，我努力学习游泳，并且学会了蛙泳、仰泳、自由泳三种游法。这难忘的第一次游泳让我改变了对游泳的看法，也让我拥有了勇气。

Everyone has their own parents, you are not in the heart often think the future will take care of filial piety, they would not let them suffer later after you do this to parents as well, but have you ever thought, your parents how much later? Too many uncertainties about the future is not it, if you really love your parents, then you use what you have more time now to spend time with them now, whether or not your ability, do your best strength to love them not waiting for the day after, because someday will not necessarily make sense, does not it?

One possible version:

Changes in My Hometown

Great changes have taken place in my hometown these years. There used to be old and low houses on the streets,but now you can see people live and work in tall buildings. In the past, you could always see rubbish everywhere. But now the environment is clean and tidy. Many trees are planted on both sides of the street, so the air is very fresh.There were not any buses in my hometown, so most of us used to walk to work or go to school by bike.However, life is much better now. Many people buy their own cars, so they go out by car.

I had a dog called a gray, because it was a long gray hair, and it was long with a pair of round eyes, and its eyes looked around and seemed to find something. It is always short ears always bowed, I looked like incredibly.

Its temper can be weird, and if it is happy to put the tail up in the barking applause, as if "master owner, today I am very happy, can take me out to play?" This can rely on its mood, if it is Unhappy, no matter how good it is, it is not heard. Remember that once out to play, where the dog will be fast ran over, as if there is very familiar with it, playing a long time, it ran back to me, I took him home.

The dog is very fond of eating meat, it is often the first to eat meat and then eat. He was very cute, once I test it, put the meat under the meal, but it smelled out, in the bark called "master you good or bad ah." I have a dog so that a friend is particularly happy.

Leaving school How times flies!We have spent three years in the school I am very sad that I have to say goodbye to you.Ive learned much in the past three years. Our teachers worked hard and took good care of us. All the students studied very hard and were all very friendly to each other.

We will go to different senior schools next term. Lets keep in touch with each other. And I also hope everyone will have a bright future.

Sea pollution is becoming an increasing problem for our planet and we have

a responsibility to reduce sea pollution.

I need to describe the problem. Our ship currently dumps all its rubbish

into the sea.Its easy to result in huge endanger. First of all, Non-organic

substances such as plastic bags kill fish and whales. Because fish get trapped

and whales cannot digest them. Secondly some rubbish is inherently toxic.

I can suggest some solutions. First and foremost we can create a better

system of disposing of rubbish for instance. We ought to store rubbish. Next, we

are supposed to make ships environmentally and friendly. A case in point is that

we should stop providing plastic bags.

We must act now before it is too late!

As it is known to us all ,LuXun is a famous Chinese writer. He is not only

a writer, thinker, but also the founder of Chinese Literature . He wrote many

classic (经典的)novels and his stories, which are translated many languages, were

made into film,such as The True Story of AH Q and The New Years Sacrifice,which

deeply showed peoples suffering in the old days.

Because of his achievement to Chinese literature, Chairman Mao spoke highly

of him. Besides, some of his works were selected into the text books in high

school and university. I think youll gain a lot from reading his works.

“加油，加油”一阵阵加油声在我耳边此起彼伏，不用说，肯定又是在举行一年一度的运动会了!

比赛分个人赛和团体赛。上午是个人赛，首先比赛跳远。运动员们在操场上等待比赛，他们个个精神抖擞，一副胸有成竹的样子。第一个比赛的是我们班的汤金润，只见他双腿稍稍弯曲，双臂一前一后地摆动，胸脯前倾，蓄势待发的样子。裁判一发令，他就轻轻往前一跃，一下子跳了两米多，赢得了跳远比赛冠军。

再看丢沙包比赛，我班的王子博参加了这项比赛，虽然这是他第一次参加丢沙包比赛，但他的眼神里充满了自信。比赛开始了，他举起手中的沙包奋力往前一掷，沙包就像离弦的箭一样，飞过了大半个操场，遥遥领先其他运动员，稳稳得赢得了冠军。

最激动人心的就是下午的团体赛了，我们比的是地震逃生的游戏。来到操场上，只见操场上摆着八块绿垫子，终点还有一根黄色的柱子，为了更加真实地模拟地震发生时的场景，体育老师还在两旁安放了烟雾弹。比赛开始了，男生们个个像猎豹一样，迅速敏捷地穿越障碍。

轮到我了，因为太紧张，再加上翻滚的时候头晕目眩，跑起来一摇一晃的，以致于忘记了要绕柱子跑，我只好重新跑一次，拖延了时间，黄老师和同学们都急得直跺脚，幸好最后通过田佳鑫等几个同学的奋力追赶，抢回了宝贵的时间，顺利完成了比赛，最终我们班赢得了第一，大家都高兴得一蹦三尺高。

地震逃生比赛既是一个体育项目，又是一个游戏活动，让我们在参与比赛的过程中明白了遇到自然灾害时需要镇定、从容，维持秩序，更需要团结协作，众志成城。

这真是一次难忘而有意义的运动会啊!

It

is important to know our good and bad points because this knowledge will help us

to improve ourself. We should examine ourselves and learn who we are.

Above

all, we should recognize our strengths and weaknesses. For example, I am healthy

and fit, so I can work hard. Im also optimistic, humble and polite. These are

my strengths. However, I also have weaknesses. For one thing, Im stubborn and a

little impatient. Im sometimes lazy as well and can spent a whole day just

watching TV and eating junk food. Im not ashamed to admit these bad pints.

Knowing what they are lets me focus on improving myself.

Habits, whether good or bad, are gradually formed. When a person doesa certain thing again and again, he‘ll be obliged to do it in the same way by some unseen force. Thus habit is formed. Once a habit is formed, it is difficult and sometimes almost impossible to get rid of it. It is.therefore very important that we should take care in the formation of habits. Good habits have many advantages. Going to bed early and getting up early makes us healthy. Diligence helps to succeed. Honesty helps:: win the respeet and trust of others.

If we form bad habits, such as rudeness, laziness, lying and stealing, we might be mined by them. We ought to keep away from bad habits and try to acquire habits good for ourselves and others.

Almost everyone knows the famous Chinese saying：A young idler，an old beggar. Throughout history，we have seen many cases in which this saying has again and again proved to be true.

It goes without saying that the youth is the best time of life，during which ones mental and physical states are at their peaks. It takes relatively less time and pains to learn or accept new things in a world full of changes and rapid developments. In addition，one is less likely to be under great pressure from career，family and health problems when young. Therefore，a fresh mind plus enormous energy will ensure success in different aspects of life.

Of course，we all know：no pains，no gains. If we dont make every effort to make good use of the advantages youth brings us，it is impossible to achieve any goals. As students，we should now try our best to learn all the subjects well so that we can be well prepared for the challenges that we will face in the future.

初三英语学习的三大对策

尽早进入状态

初三是初中学习生活的关键年级，学习内容多，要求高，强度大。一年后（实际上约10个月）同学们就要参加中考，进入状态越早，就会越主动，效果就会越好。

初三的状态是指：树立明确的人生目标，拥有足够的学习动力，具有强烈的自信心；变“要我学”为“我要学”，时间安排合理，学习效率高；学习得法，不搞题海战术，既会学习，又会考试。

抓好三个环节

预习：初三学习忙，时间紧，但预习工作不可忘。课前要熟悉课文中生词的音和义，基本搞懂课文内容，尤其要记下难于理解的问题。带着这些问题，有的放矢地听课，听课的效率就会提高。

听课：课堂是获取知识和培养能力的主渠道，学习时间大多是在课堂中度过的。因此掌握科学的听课方法，提高听课效率，是提高课堂学习效率和学习成绩的关键所在。在课前预习的基础上，可以明确听课目标，掌握听课的主动性，从而提高学习效率。课堂上，通过听、说、读、写的训练，掌握词、句、段、篇等基本知识，培养听、说、读、写的基本能力。因此上课不仅要认真听，更要多说，多读，多写，多思。也要捕捉讲课重点，尽可能当堂消化。

复习：温故而知新，课后复习可以加深对课堂所学知识的消化和理解，并强化记忆，达到熟练掌握灵活运用。

复习要及时。艾宾浩斯遗忘曲线告诉我们，在学习开始的一段时间，不仅遗忘得快，而且遗忘的内容也多，因此趁热打铁，及时复习非常必要。对课文中的重点，难点、关键句可用有色笔注上记号，以便经常复习。

although it wasnt celebrated in the u。s。 until 1907， there were days honoring mothers even in the days of ancient greece。 in those days， however， it was rhea， the mother of the gods that was given honor。

later， in the 1600s， in england there was an annual observance called "mothering sunday。" it was celebrated during june， on the fourth sunday。 on mothering sunday， the servants， who generally lived with their employers， were encouraged to return home and honor their mothers。 it was traditional for them to bring a special cake along to celebrate the occasion。in the u。s。， in 1907 ana jarvis， from philadelphia， began a campaign to establish a national mothers day。 jarvis persuaded her mothers church in grafton， west virginia to celebrate mothers day on the second anniversary of her mothers death， the 2nd sunday of may。 the next year mothers day was also celebrated in philadelphia。

jarvis and others began a letter-writing campaign to ministers， businessmen， and politicians in their quest to establish a national mothers day。 they were successful。 president woodrow wilson， in 1914， made the official announcement proclaiming mothers day a national observance that was to be held each year on the 2nd sunday of may。
