I went to the home for the aged with my friends on July 30th. As soon as the aged saw us, they were all happy. 1.We sang songs and danced for them.

其实，四季的歌在悄悄地奏响，在一遍一遍的播放着。

春

春姑娘，她带着彩色盘来的，她想把世界刷成五彩缤纷的。她还给大家表演了一场精彩的魔术表演，她让小草冲破泥土露出头来透透气，她让枯树枝子冒出嫩嫩的绿头，她让农民播种出秋天的希望。“一年之计在于春，一天之计在于晨”。可见，春给夏秋冬做好了一年的铺垫。春，给了我们期待;春，给了我们盼望!

夏

夏哥哥，他火辣的很，他不想春姑娘的柔和，他不想秋姑姑的欢快，他不像冬婆婆的洁白柔和。而他，给人们带来的是炙烤的阳光，带来的是浓浓的颜色。把春姑娘的颜色又刷新了一遍，让他更具有生机勃勃的活力。他让树枝儿的叶也浓浓密密，用它，来遮挡着炎炎夏日的sunshine!夏，给了我们活力!

秋

秋姑姑，对于她我不得不多提一下了。春的播种，在这一刻它收获了。它给人们送来了欢乐大礼包，她伴着农民们的笑容，去打开包裹中的快乐。咦!里面是什么?哦!是金灿灿的世界。哦!是硕果累累的果实，看着联合收割机的忙碌工作，看着农民脸上一个个笑开了花的脸蛋，看从脸上地下一滴滴辛勤的汗水，去浇灌了人们的心田。秋，给了我们收获。

冬

冬婆婆，她把世界盖上了一丛洁白的棉被，并且她把春夏秋的忧愁，一起洗刷过去的烦恼和忧愁。她是交响乐中最纯洁的一首歌，也是最洁白的一首歌。冬啊!你很美。冬啊!你好纯。冬，给了我们对新一年的憧憬。

“春，夏，秋，冬”这首歌结束了~~~!

寒假里的一天，天气很晴朗，但是在嵊州大桥却发生了一齐车祸。但那个老人的宽容，使我永生难忘。

一辆摩托车在嵊州大桥上飞驰，而一辆自行车却在慢吞吞地开。突然，“砰”的一声巨响，划破了整个宁静的天空。原先，是刚才的摩托车与自行车相撞了。在行驶的车辆纷纷停下来围观，我也挤进去凑凑热闹。

一个青年人扶起摩托车，向坐在地上还被自行车压着的老人，喋喋不休地骂了起来：“你这个老不死的，年纪这么大还骑自行车，还把我刚买来的新摩托车给撞坏了，你要赔，赔我医药费、维修费……”瞧，一句句脏话和蛮不讲理的话从他口中讲出，多么难听，多么肮脏呀!而那个可怜的老人，却坐在地上一句也不反驳。

那些围观的人纷纷为老人打抱不平，有的说：“你怎样能这样，明明是你撞他的，为什么还要他赔，我看啊，你赔还差不多!”“对啊!”另外一些人也附和道。这时，老人发话了：“年轻人，你这样做可就不对了，你要学会宽容，俗话说‘忍一时风平浪静，退一步海阔天空’，你难道就不能退一步，忍一时了吗?”青年人的脸红了，低下了头。老人又说：“医药费也不用你赔了，回去吧!”听到了这番话语，围观的人情不自禁地鼓起掌来。

青年人被感动了，深深地向老人鞠了一躬，轻身说了一句“对不起”，开着摩托车走了。老人扶起倒在地上的自行车，骑着走了。

望着远去的老人，他的形象在我心中渐渐高大起来……

哈哈!期末考试终于结束了，卷子也领了，寒假就在我美妙的想法中开始了。可惜，事与愿违，我希望寒假可以开开心心玩耍的想法，却被下班回家的妈妈击碎了：

晚上，妈妈下班回家了，一进门，就看到我俩在屋子游手好闲地晃，妈妈一下子就生气了，问道：“你们俩在寒假想要干什么?”我俩心不在焉地答道：“玩呗!”妈妈又问道：“那寒假作业呢?”“写呗!”我俩又答道。可没想到，这四个字，犹如放在煤气罐下的火柴，“嗵”的一声，让周围的事物化为乌有。妈妈向我俩大举“政治教育”的旗帜，强烈攻势使我俩招架不住，只得“认罪伏法”，写下了放假必备——计划书。内容大体是这样：

上午：完成一些寒假作业，背会10个英语单词，完成一篇英语作文等;

下午：字帖一页，复习所学知识，玩耍等。

而这份计划最让我满意的就是劳逸结合。每当写的头晕脑胀时，就可以出去放松一下，正如龙井说唱的歌里所唱的：“敲开你的脑子让它出来透透气吧!来个深呼吸，呼出那烦恼和压力……”帮奶奶扫扫地，给爷爷倒杯水，听听音乐……等放松够了，再去写作业，效率会提高不少呢!

如果我能在上午完成这一天的任务，那么下午，就是我的自由时光了，想干什么，就干什么。晚上还能看电视或电影呢!

怎么样?我的寒假计划不错吧?

那是一件令我难忘的事，它发生在学校，让我在全班同学面前尴尬地抬不起头。

在一个秋高气爽的早上，我走进教室，放下书包，准备读书，刚打开书一张试卷就掉了下来，我一看，这不是要签字的卷子吗?我没有签字，心中十分紧张，但因为是早读时间，我便趁机将书挡在面前。可是我完全没有心情读书，满脑子都在想着签字的事情。我想：“烦死了，这一天天的什么烂事都发生在我的身上，试卷没签字，一定又要被批评了。等等，我可以自己签啊!但，被发现就会……算了算了，签吧!”

于是，我紧张地取出卷子，在卷子上犹豫着签上了我爸的名字，然后双手发抖地交给组长。自从把卷子交出去之后，没一节课让我省心的。但最不好的事情终于还是发生了，老师把我请到办公室问：“你这字是谁签的?”“我爸。”我低着头说。“是么?我问过了，这是你自己签的，你下节课和我去班上跟同学们说一说这件事。”老师说。我听了之后无奈地摇摇头，走出了办公室。

我迈着沉重的步伐，走进教室，站在讲台上。同学们对我指指点点的，不知道他们在下面说什么。不一会儿，老师大步流星地走了进来，把试卷放在讲台上，说：“这个字，是他自己签的，不是家长签的。我昨天是不是说过，这个卷子必须由家长签字?他倒好，自己签，明天把你家长叫来!”

我听后一阵心凉，同学们在台下，看的看，笑的笑，说的说，我仿佛像是生活在黑暗中一样，外面的天也似乎灰蒙蒙的下起了雨。老师让我站到一边，同学们都看着我，我十分不开心，想着：“今天运气差极了，让我在同学面前出了丑，让我尴尬了一整节课。面子丢光了，明天还要请家长，完了，这事要丑大发了。”

我以后可不能再干这种事情了!

转眼间我已经成为一个初中生了。在初中的学习生活中，我将以饱满的精神迎接新的挑战。为了能使我的目标实现——考入人大附中，我制定了一个三年的学习计划。

首先，在学习方面我要成为各方面的佼佼者。第一，在语文方面，我要增加阅读量，冰心说过：“读书好，多读书，读好书。”大量的阅读文学名著，能使自己增长课外知识，提高自己的修养，所以我决定每天读8千字的课外读物，同时改变以前草率地读完一篇文章后，不假思索的做法。为了提高自已的文学素质，计划每天摘抄100字的名篇名段，并朗读一遍文章。争取在考试中取得前五名的好成绩。第二，在数学方面，要多做课外练习，为了提高自己的数学水平，每天必须完成20道奥数题。争取在考试中取得前五名的成绩。第三，在英语方面，首先要做到每天听半小时的录音，在明年3月通过公共英语二级的考试。在口语方面，要锻炼自己的胆量，尽可能地创造、寻找与别人对话的机会，要达到能与外国人简单交流的水平。争取在考试中也拿到前五名的成绩。

其次是在健康方面，健康的身体是学习的保障。为了在中考中取得好的成绩，我要加强800米的训练，争取在上学途中练习。

然后，是在做人方面，首先，要学会关心和宽容他人，尊敬师长。要以诚待人。

最后，在公益活动方面，我要积极参加学校组织的各种公益活动。以学校和班级的荣誉为重，为班级和荣誉贡献自己的一份力量。

以上是我三年的学习计划。在今后的三年中，为了实现我的目标，我将努力按照计划去做，咬定青山不放松。刻苦学习，取长补短，争取超越自我，以实现我的目标。

Christmas is one of the most important celebrations of the year for the western countries. It falls on the twenty- fifth of December and has the same importance as Chinese New Year to people with English backgrounds. The celebration is for the birth of Jesus Christ, who is the son of God in Christianity. Now days Christmas is no longer only celebrated by the Christians, but by most people from all over the world.

On the twenty- fourth of December everyone gets excited for it’s the day before Christmas which is called Christmas Eve. The children are usually sent to bed early and are warned that “Santa Claus will only come and give you a present if you be good.” The younger kids actually believe that Santa will come down the chimney on the sleigh that’s pulled by his reindeers. Food like short bread and beer are prepared for Santa when he comes, however most times parents just eat them. Some children put socks and sacks up for the holding of the presents (that their parents put in).

Rise and shine on Christmas morning! The children are always the first ones to wake up, some even do at four. Present wrappers everywhere! They look into their presents with a big smile on their face and oh dear….I hope no one’s disappointed. I feel sorry for anyone that got pink underwear. Children play while dinner is prepared by the adults. The Christmas dinner are usually eaten together by relatives. The tradition of Christmas pudding and roosters are usually eaten with deserts afterwards. The rest of the day is usually games and fun before the good days all come to an end.

I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!

People native to urban Beijing speak the Beijing dialect, which belongs to

the Mandarin subdivision of spoken Chinese. Beijing dialect is the basis for

Standard Mandarin, the language used in the Peoples Republic of China, the

Republic of China on Taiwan, and Singapore. Rural areas of Beijing Municipality

have their own dialects akin to those of Hebei province, which surrounds Beijing

Municipality.

Beijing Opera, or Peking Opera (Jingju), is well-known throughout the

national capital. Commonly lauded as one of the highest achievements of Chinese

culture, Beijing Opera is performed through a combination of song, spoken

dialogue, and codified action sequences, such as gestures, movement, fighting

and acrobatics. Much of Beijing Opera is carried out in an archaic stage dialect

quite different from modern Standard Mandarin and from the Beijing dialect; this

makes the dialogue somewhat hard to understand, and the problem is compounded if

one is not familiar with Chinese. As a result, modern theaters often have

electronic titles in Chinese and English.

A hutong in eastern Beijing near Dongsishitiao. In this March 2003 photo

the left side was still standing, but it has since given way to new

construction.The Siheyuan is a traditional architectural style of Beijing. A

siheyuan consists of a square housing compound, with rooms enclosing a central

courtyard. This courtyard often contains a pomegranate or other type of tree, as

well as potted flowers or a fish tank. Siheyuans line Hutongs , or alleys, which

connect the interior of Beijings old city. They are usually straight and run

east-to-west so that doorways can face north and south for Feng Shui reasons.

They vary in width — some are very narrow, enough for only a few pedestrians to

pass through at a time.

Once ubiquitous in Beijing, siheyuans and hutongs are now rapidly

disappearing, as entire city blocks of hutongs are leveled and replaced with

high-rise buildings. Residents of the hutongs are entitled to apartments in the

new buildings of at least the same size as their former residences. Many

complain, however, that the traditional sense of community and street life of

the hutongs cannot be replaced. Some particularly historic or picturesque

hutongs are being preserved and restored by the government, especially for the

2008 Olympics. One such example can be seen at Nanchizi.

Mandarin cuisine is the local style of cooking in Beijing. Peking Roast

Duck is perhaps the most well-known dish. The Manhan Quanxi ("Manchu-Han Chinese

full banquet") is a traditional banquet originally intended for the

ethnic-Manchu emperors of the Qing Dynasty; it remains very prestigious and

expensive.

Teahouses are also common in Beijing. Chinese tea comes in many varieties

and some rather expensive types of Chinese tea are said to cure an ailing body

extraordinarily well.

The Jingtailan is a cloisonné metalworking technique and tradition

originating from Beijing, and one of the most revered traditional crafts in

China. Beijing lacquerware is well known for the patterns and images carved into

its surface.

The Fuling Jiabing is a traditional Beijing snack food, a pancake (bing)

resembling a flat disk with filling, made from fu ling (Poria cocos (Schw.)

Wolf, or "tuckahoe"), an ingredient common in traditional Chinese medicine.
