An October Sunrise 十月的日出

I was up the next morning be fore the October sunrise, and away through the wild and the woodland. The rising of the sun was noble in the cold and warmth of it peeping down the spread of light, he raised his shoulder heavily over the edge of grey mountain and wavering length of upland. Beneath his gaze the dew-fogs dipped, and crept to crept to the hollow places; then stole away in line and column, holding skirts, and clinging subtly at the sheltering corners where rock hung over grassland, while the brave lines of the hills came forth, one beyond other gliding.

The woods arose in folds, like drapery of awakened mountains, stately with a depth of awe, and memory of the tempests. Autumn’s mellow hand was upon them, as they owned already, touched with gold and red and olive, and their joy towards the sun was less to a bridegroom than a father.

Yet before the floating impress of the woods could clear it self, suddenly the gladsome light leaped over hill and valley, casting amber, blue, and purple, and a tint of rich red rose; according to the scene they lit on, and the curtain flung around; yet all alike dispelling fear and the cloven hoof of darkness, all on the wings of hope advancing, and proclaiming, “God is here!” then life and joy sprang reassured from every crouching hollow; every flower, and bud and bird had a fluttering sense of them; and all the flashing of God’s gaze merged into soft beneficence.

So, perhaps, shall break upon us that eternal morning, when crag and chasm shall be no more, neither hill and valley, nor great unvintaged ocean; but all things shall arise, and shine in the light of the Father’s countenance, because itself is risen.

6月1日 晴

今天是六一儿童节，风和日丽，我们一家人去秀水山庄爬山。

我们怀着激动的心情乘车而去，弟弟更是迫不及待，一路上高兴的又蹦又跳。一下车，只感觉山下的清新空气扑面而来，四处洋溢着高兴的气氛，弟弟在爸爸的带领下勇敢的上了山，我呢?也不甘落后，拉起妈妈的手就往山上跑。走着走着，突然，一座木桥横在了我们的面前。一座桥有什么好怕的?我壮着胆子走上去，心里却紧张极了：啊，千万不要掉下去呀!总算走到了对岸，我长舒了一口气。

“咦，这是什么?”弟弟叫起来。我一看，一块石头上写着：四百米。我顿时恍然大悟：“咱们已经前进了四百米了!”没想到，这么不经意间的走着，竟然前进了这么多!我惊奇不已。

哦，天啊!又一架软梯挡住了我们的去路，我低头一看，下面就是万丈深渊，非常危险。姑妈看见了(弟弟的妈妈)，摆摆手说：“我可不去了，要去你们去吧，我好怕呀。”我本来也不想去，看着弟弟奋勇前进的样子，我不能输给他呀，又一想也不能半途而废，就向爸爸投去了求助的目光。爸爸明白了我的意思，拉着我的手上了软梯，妈妈也拉上弟弟的手一同登上了梯子。刚开始，我心里怕得要命，心像揣了小兔子是的“咚咚”直跳。后来，我发现走软梯并不可怕，关键是手抓紧，脚踩实。我便一大步一大步地走起来，总于到对岸了!我高兴极了，心里像吃了蜜一样，甜滋滋的。

这次冒险让我知道了做事不能半途而废，同时也让我收获了快乐。

“横看成岭侧成峰，远近高低各不同”。诗人曾用这句话形容庐山。站在不同位置看这座名山，会让人拥有不一样的心情。

仰视·开始

在山脚，仰视整座山，我感觉到一种想要征服它的心情。山脚的风景固然美好，但一种好奇的心理，好胜的心理总在催促着我，往上爬，去体验登高望远的别样风景。于是，人生便开始了。带着一丝欣喜，一份好奇，一种期待，一抹害怕。

平视·抉择

半山腰，我站在一个让人抉择的位置，往下看，沿途风景已尽情欣赏，往上看，终点仍茫茫无期。我开始犹豫，内心的挣扎困扰着我。坚持吧?胜利仍遥遥无期;放弃吧?还没完成自己的目标。最想要去的地方，怎能在半路就返航?我提醒自己。于是，人生继续，带着一丝不安，一份痛苦，一种追求，一丝希望。

俯视·胜利

山顶，我领略到了“会当凌绝顶，一览众山小”的那种气概。站在这个期待以久的位置，我不再彷徨。一切美景尽收眼底，一种成功的喜悦洋溢内心。过去的那些不安，那些痛苦，都化为了过往烟云。于是，人生成功，带着一丝欣慰，一份艰辛，一种成功，一抹喜悦。

不由地感叹，人生真得很艰辛，很刺激，当我们处于不同的位置时，都有不同的事物，不同的人带给我们不同的挫折，不一样的感受，不同的心情，不同的体味。

不同的位置给了我们不一样的感受，却教会了我们同一件事情，在没有到达终点之前，决不轻言放弃。“我要一步步往上爬，在最高点乘着叶片往前飞”。小小的蜗牛都拥有那一份执着，那么我们呢?

站在不同的位置，欣赏不同的风景，体验不同的感受，学会同一件事情—坚持，决不轻言放弃。

I plan to do lots of homework today. First , I read english articles, next I

wrote my science tests snd math tests. I had some questions. So I called to my

classmates to ask, then I listened to the music, I enjoyed it. In the afternoon,

I drew some bananas, I believed I can draw it well. In the evening ,I played

computer games. After that , I read a famous book on the bed. It was a happy day

today.

我打算今天做很多作业。首先,我读英文文章,接下来我写我的数学考试测试snd的科学。我有一些问题。所以我打电话给我的同学去问,然后我听音乐,我很喜欢它。在下午,我画了一些香蕉,我相信我能画得很好。在晚上,我在玩电脑游戏。之后,我读了著名的书放在床上。这是一个快乐的一天。

连续了很多天的阴雨天气终于放晴了，天空万里无云。今天是个特别的日子，为什么说特别呢?因为在这天，我们将随着近200人的大型团队一起去户外登山。这可是我长这么大以来第一次参加这种集体活动哦!

我们的路线是：阿育王寺——先锋村——茅洋寺。一大早，我们一起搭车到了阿育王寺集合，然后沿着乡间小道走啊走，一路上，到处可见长的正茂的橘子树和黄灿灿的油菜花，好美啊!大约过了一个小时左右，我们徒步到了山脚下，接着开始爬山了，这条山路真是很崎岖，只容一个人通过，于是我在路边捡了几根粗壮的竹竿，做为拐杖用。

这一下走起来轻松多了!我健步如飞地向前走去，不断地超越，天气很热，所以感觉人的身体特别累，有两次我都想坐下来休息，但又担心会掉队，妈妈也一直在鼓励我向前，所以我还是兴致勃勃地向前进，很快地我冲到了队伍的第一个，真是开心极了，不知不觉中，我们已经到了山顶，从山顶往下看，远处有蓝蓝的湖水，有各色各样的野花和满山遍野的杜鹃花，还有远处那一排排整整齐齐的房子。啊，多美的景色呀!

这次难忘的登山不只锻炼了身体，更磨练了我的意志。“世上无难事，只怕有心人。”只有持之以恒，战胜困难，战胜自我，才能成功。这是我最大的收获。

过年了!过年了!我高兴的一蹦三尺高，为什么呢?因为我这个人呀，喜欢爬山，但每次，爸爸妈妈都没有让我去爬过山，今天，我终于可以过个上山瘾了!

早上七点多，我就起床了，匆匆忙忙吃完饭，我就领着爸爸出发了，我妈妈给我装了一大书包的东西，有苹果，有糕，还有我的零食等等。

爸爸说，现在到人民公园可以做“城乡公交”直接到水冶，但我们左等右等，还是等不来，无奈之下，我和爸爸又到了文化宫，真是巧极了，正好有一辆车，我们真是踏破铁鞋无觅处——得来全不费工夫。真好!

很快，就到水冶了，我们还要坐出租车到九龙山朝元洞风景区，颠簸了一段，总算到了我们的目的地，一看表，好家伙，已经快十二点了，我们要抓紧时间了!

我们先到了山上，在山上，我们烧香拜佛，忙得不亦乐乎，这时候，爸爸提议，不如我们把这美好的景色用照相机拍摄下来。我连连拍手赞同。啪啪声中，我已经拍了有五十多张照片了，这是，我又对爸爸说：“爸爸，我们今天在上南山，怎么样呀?”爸爸经不住我的软硬泡沫，只好同意了。我要和爸爸来一个爬山比赛。

别看我爸爸平时劲儿挺大，爬山的时候，我又是背行李，又是拍照片，就那样，我还比我爸爸爬山爬得快，我已经到了山顶，我爸爸还在半山腰正呼哧呼哧的费力地爬呢!等爸爸爬上了山顶，他已被累得浑身没劲儿了，相反，我却精神十足。该下山了，我提议步行下山，但爸爸却不行了，只好打了一辆出租车，掏了几十元钱，让车送到了山下。又按原路返回。

回到家后，我们早已饥肠辘辘，平常我只能吃下一小碗面，但今天，吃了一大碗，还觉得饿。我爸爸就更掺了，累得走都走不动了，今天，真累!

放假那天，我们去了位于江山的江郎山。

刚到那里，我就看见三座高峰盘旋于彩云之上。山上云遮雾涌，神秘莫测，只能隐隐约约地看见几级石阶，窄窄的，蜿蜒而上，不见终点，我上得去吗？

我们开始爬了，路边无数的大树，它们伸出那苍绿的手，拍着我的脑袋。我穿梭于其间，那绿衣盎然的叶子，仿佛给我涂上了一层清凉油。我们很快到了一线天，我觉得，原来爬山那么简单呀！一线天，在两座山之间，那两旁的石壁上长满了苔藓，让人有阴森森之感。我走在两山之间，仰望天空，只看见窄窄的一道，漏下些许阳光，而两侧的山仿佛要倒下来。我忐忑不安地走出一线天，回望来时的路，还惊惧不已。

在平台上我们休息了一下，补充了能量，又开始爬郎峰了。最惊险的就是爬郎峰。一条人工开凿的“之”字形小道，盘旋于石壁之间，非常险要。我开始爬了，刚开始，我爬得很轻松，慢慢地，我只能攀着栏杆，弓着背向前爬行。大豆般的汗水像水珠一样滚落下来，背上湿了，脚上湿了，脚也酸了，痛了。我真的不想爬了。犹豫之间，我猛然想起每年都有不少人到西藏去爬喜马拉雅山，甚至有人不顾生命危险、忍着极寒都要爬到山顶，而我这点小事算什么？我重新挺起身子手扶栏杆，抬起脚，踩上一级台阶，一步，两步……终于到了山顶。这时，我已经汗流浃背了。

到了山顶，我觉得自己仿佛在仙境中，无数云雾在我身边缭绕。清风袭来，整个人似乎在自由飞翔，无拘无束。我闭上双眼，让心也一起感受这大自然的鬼斧神工。过了一会，我睁开眼睛，环视左右，四面美景尽收眼底，好美呀！

这次爬山让我懂了，做事要坚持到底，不要半途而废，否则你永远无法感受成功时的喜悦与激动，无法领略成功时的无上美景！

十月的金秋，秋高气爽，气候宜人，无疑是一个运动的好时节。

今天，我们去清溪森林公园爬山。来到山脚下，啊，一级级石阶如一条巨龙，蜿蜒曲折，匍匐在绿色的”天然走廊“里，好像随时要一跃而起似的。我们兴致勃勃地沿梯而上。刚爬到半山腰，不太爱运动的我早已气喘吁吁了。

”走不动了“，我坐在石阶上连连叫苦，”早知道就不来了！“”怎么了？“爸爸问，”空想的巨人，行动的矮子。最拿手就是打退堂鼓。“这句话激起了我的自尊心，我一下子站起来，继续前进。

”看，顶峰！“啊，顶峰，你终于出现了，我终于看透了你那卧虎藏龙的身躯，你那英姿飒爽的龙头，你那炯炯有神的眼睛熠熠生辉，俯视着群山峻岭，俯视着山下绿荫，俯视着那日新月异的清溪大地……

站在峰顶，一览众山小，一股自豪之情油然而生。远处，云带缭绕着山尖，影影绰绰，飘飘忽忽；俯视下面，马路像一条条分格线，将大地整齐地划成一格一格，每一格，每一线，都有各自的风格……

在天各一方的山顶，我忽然领悟到：欲穷千里目，更上一层楼。要是我在半山腰就此放弃，我怎能领略到这美好的风光呢？

Dear Sir,

I was very interested in your advertisement in todays edition of The Evening Post and I should like to apply to be a member of the Amazon Expedition team.

I enjoy several outdoor activities including rowing and rock climbing and I consider myself to be both fit and healthy enough to undertake such an expedition.

If you would like me to attend an interview, I would be able to come at any time convenient to you, (J1) my employers have agreed to give me time off for the purpose.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully,

People always say that spring is the most beautiful season. But I don’t

think so. I like summer, autumn even winter better than spring. Because the

weather in spring is changeable. Maybe it is warm today, it will be cold

tomorrow. I often catch a cold in spring. Besides this, it often rains in

spring. I can’t go out to play ball games. I have to stay at home to spend my

time. How boring it is! Some people think the flowers in spring are very

beautiful, but I think the flowers in winter are more beautiful, because they

live through the extremely cold weather and we should learn from them.

It is said that in the year of 300 AD, there was a kind old man and his name was Saint Nicholas. He was always ready to help the poor and often gave presents to them.

Today, Father Christmas is an imaginary figure, but nearly all young children believe in him. They think he is a happy old man with a long white beard and a long red robe.

On the night of the twenty-fourth of December every year, Father Christmas from some cold northern land comes down the chimney of the fireplace to put presents by the beds of children or to fill their stockings. So when children go to bed that night, they hang up their stockings, and on Christmas morning they wake to find them full of presents. Of course, it‘s really their parents who fill the stockings.

Another name for Father Christmas is Santa Claus.

译文：

据说，在公元300年，有一个善良的老人，他的名字是圣尼古拉斯。他总是愿意帮助穷人，常常送礼物给他们。

如今，圣诞老人是一个虚构的人物，但几乎所有的孩子都相信他。他们认为他是一个快乐长长的白胡子和一个长长的红色长袍的老人。

在第二十每年的十二月份的第四夜，父亲从寒冷的北方一些圣诞归结土地的壁炉烟囱提出的儿童床礼物或填补他们的袜子。因此，当孩子上床睡觉，那天晚上，他们就挂上他们的袜子，并在圣诞节早晨醒来发现他们装满礼物。当然，这需要他们的父母谁填补了袜子。

圣诞老人的另一个名字是圣诞老人。

风和日丽的一个早晨，我和爸爸一起去爬山。

到了山脚下，我心情十分激动，天空蓝盈盈的，朵朵白云好像拼成了一个笑脸对着我笑，一下子给我许多信心。一棵棵大树随着温和的风在摇摆着手，摆来摆去好像是向我招手呢！绿就要把我的眼睛都要照伤了，树叶一下子就落了下来，好像都在说我怎么那么不懂事。

我说：“爸爸，我要和你比赛，看谁先爬到山顶！”爸爸得意地说：“小不点儿，想和我比，真是异想天开。”说完，我就飞快地往山上爬，这时风一直吹着我的脸，是给我扇风吧！树叶沙沙作响是给我一些信心吧，鸟儿在树上啼叫，好像在给我加油。

爬到了半山腰，因为实在没有力气了，我不知不觉就滑了下去，我一下子就比爸爸慢了很多，滑下去的时候，似乎有一股热气向我扑来，阳光十分强烈，仿佛是大火炉烤着我，小鸟叽叽喳喳的大吵大闹，好像在说你真是个没用的东西，让我心烦气躁。

我越往上爬就越爬不动，爸爸回头一看就说：“加油！加油！你可以的！”说完就拉着我的手一起爬上山。爬的时候，我觉得山在晃一晃的，台阶在一下一下地不断变长，小鸟看了在嘲笑我，我心里可失望了。

终于登到山顶了，山下的景物一览无余，蓝天仿佛触手可及，一阵阵微风吹来让人神清气爽。

Hazy Weather

Recently，hazy weather has become commonin China. People wear masks to avoid

poisonous air. Emissionproduced from factories and cars is the main source. The

smog surely hasnegative effects on peoples health especially that of

thechildren and the elderly .But how to deal with it?

First， the government should perfect laws to punish those factories

thatignore the protection. And businessmen must pay more attention to

theenvironment instead of money. Second， green commuting and alow-carbon life

are supposed to be called for. Third，we should develop green and energy-saving

energy to lower theemission of haze.

If we work together，our environmentwill get better and better and haze

weather will disappear completely.

Dear Mrs. Shi,

hello. Must first thank you to be willing very much to arrive at our school, teaches us business English this curriculum. To your first impression is childish, very kind feeling. After knowing your study experience, increased to your sentiment of worship.Because Fudan Universitys world economics specialty is my dream, even if forever possibly could not realize. In fact,I really want to see your study life at ordinary times, I want to know what kind of habits accomplished thus excellent of you.

This semester, we got the subject of 《Offer&Counter-Offer》 , I also remember until now our group comes on stage performances scene, I can only use two words to describe: bad and awkward. Because we do not have well the preparation, cause then the situation of the mess. On the PPT content is directly from on-line duplication and glue. But takes me who lectures not to have well the preparation, is simply is on site to display. At that time stood on the stage feeling is really very bad, I only wanted a bit faster to finish lecture, hurry to leave stage. That experience told me “the full preparation” importance.

In your class, I also have another unforgettable experience, is some time roll-call. You didn’t call everybody,when you selected Wang Kaiya, I helped her to call, which knew that you called me to raise hand to look to you. Afterward you selected unexpectedly to mine name. I am really suspected very much that you thought I am not Wang Kaiya, therefore has turned head selects the Han Xue name again, because of mine student number in the front of Wang Kaiya. Afterward one time, you were called each group of group leaders name, I helped Wang Kaiya to call once more, therefore I thought that perhaps you regarded me Wang Kaiya.Ha-ha, this merely is my guess!

On your class we feel relaxed, we don’t have the tedious knowledge spot and heavy homework. Some are only your speaking with confidence with each kind of small story, you used your personal experience to teach our some truths.

This semester, my impression quite deep is “transportation” this chapter. I have learned the transport expense computing mode, and in the transportation process the risk undertakes the way. The different transport mode and the method of settling accounts, will have the dissimilar transport expense and the risk. Actually in “the international trade”, I has also studied some international shippings knowledge, but in yours class, I studied each technical expression in English. For freight,direct vessel,entir voyage and so on.

Oh, Oh, I am really could not write again about this semester’s studies and thought, because spoke the truth, I very few listened earnestly, especially in the university. Therefore teacher I’m sorry very much, this semesters work I stopped. Wishes you and your family member has the happiness content life!

关于元宵节的英文介绍

the lantern festival falls on the 15th day of the 1st lunar month, usually in february or march in the gregorian calendar. as early as the western han dynasty (206 bc-ad 25), it had become a festival with great significance. this days important activity is watching lanterns. throughout the han dynasty (206 bc-ad 220), buddhism flourished in china. one emperor heard that buddhist monks would watch sarira, or remains from the cremation of buddhas body, and light lanterns to worship buddha on the 15th day of the 1st lunar month, so he ordered to light lanterns in the imperial palace and temples to show respect to buddha on this day. later, the buddhist rite developed into a grand festival among common people and its influence expanded from the central plains to the whole of china.每年农历的正月十五日，春节刚过，迎来的就是中国的传统节日--元宵节。元宵主要的活动就是看灯。东汉明帝时期，明帝提倡佛教，听说佛教有正月十五日僧人观佛舍利，点灯敬佛的做法，就命令这一天夜晚在皇宫和寺庙里点灯敬佛，令士族庶民都挂灯。以后这种佛教礼仪节日逐渐形成民间盛大的节日。该节经历了由宫廷到民间，由中原到全国的发展过程。

till today, the lantern festival is still held each year around the country. lanterns of various shapes and sizes are hung in the streets, attracting countless visitors. children will hold self-made or bought lanterns to stroll with on the streets, extremely excited. "guessing lantern riddles"is an essential part of the festival.

lantern owners write riddles on a piece of paper and post them on the lanterns. if visitors have solutions to the riddles, they can pull the paper out and go to the lantern owners to check their answer. if they are right, they will get a little gift. the activity emerged

during peoples enjoyment of lanterns in the song dynasty (960-1279).

as riddle guessing is interesting and full of wisdom, it has become popular among all social strata.

直到今天，元宵点灯的习俗仍然在中国的各地流传的，各式各样美丽的花灯在这一天都会点亮，孩子们提着自制的灯笼走街串巷，非常高兴。猜灯谜也是元宵节的一项重要活动，花灯的主人会将谜面写在灯笼上，挂在门口，如果有人可以猜中，就能得到小小的礼物。这项活动最早起源于宋朝，因为谜语能启迪智慧又饶有兴趣，所以流传过程中深受社会各阶层的欢迎。

people will eat yuanxiao, or rice dumplings, on this day, so it is also called the "yuanxiao festival."yuanxiao also has another name, tangyuan. it is small dumpling balls made of glutinous rice flour with rose petals, sesame, bean paste, jujube paste, walnut meat,

dried fruit, sugar and edible oil as filling. tangyuan can be boiled, fried or steamed. it tastes sweet and delicious. what’s more, tangyuan in chinese has a similar pronunciation with "tuanyuan”, meaning reunion. so people eat them to denote union, harmony and happiness for the family.

民间过元宵节吃元宵的习俗。元宵由糯米制成，或实心，或带馅。馅有豆沙、白糖、山楂、各类果料等，食用时煮、煎、蒸、炸皆可。起初，人们把这种食物叫“浮圆子”，后来又叫“汤团”或“汤圆”，这些名称“团圆”字音相近，取团圆之意，象征全家人团团圆圆，和睦幸福，人们也以此怀念离别的亲人,寄托了对未来生活的美好愿望。

in the daytime of the festival, performances such as a dragon lantern dance, a lion dance, a land boat dance, a yangge dance,

walking on stilts and beating drums while dancing will be staged. on the night, except for magnificent lanterns, fireworks form a

beautiful scene. most families spare some fireworks from the spring festival and let them off in the lantern festival. some local
