这一节课老师与我们讨论了“食品安全”。在当今社会，人类的食品安全已受到了严重的威胁。

现在的孩子们都喜欢吃零食，而且吃上了瘾。尽管家长们告诉他们那些是对身体不好的，但他们还是一如既往的买零食，只不过有光明正大变成“偷偷摸摸”。在零食中，孩子们买的最危险的，就是辣条了。

在网上了解，我的得知辣条是由变质的猪肉，塑料袋等一些极不安全，又不健康的材料制作而成。看那些图片，有些工作人员在加工时，竟把脚放在了上面，这是多么不卫生啊!所以我劝大家不要再吃辣条了也尽量不要再吃零食了。

羊肉串，相信也有很多人喜欢吃。它吃起来口感很好，而且有一股羊膻味，让人们以为这就是正宗的羊肉串了。其实不是，羊肉串虽叫羊肉串，但是谁能保证上面的肉一定是羊肉呢?说不定是猪肉，这还算好的。有些竟是用老鼠肉做的，这样你还吃的下去吗?你可能会问：“羊膻味又是怎么来的呢?”羊膻味是把“羊肉串”放在羊尿里泡上一些时日，然后冲洗一下，这样一串串“香喷喷”的羊肉串就被烤出来了。说到这里，不用我劝，相信你就已经不会再吃了吧?

现在，肉不可以吃，蔬菜也有危险，大部分蔬菜都会打农药，所以大家洗蔬菜时一定要清洗干净再吃，毕竟它会危害家人的健康。

现在，食品安全得不到保证，人们的健康受到威胁，所以制作食品的叔叔阿姨们要保证食品的安全，保证人们的健康。

In the 1990s, as the call of the government that teachers should go to the country to serve the people, there are more and more teachers go to the country to continue their teaching education. People speak highly of the teachers, because they contribute their youth to the teaching education. I recognize a country teacher when I were in my internship, after a month in the country, I feel lonely and bored, I began to admire country teachers. They are so great, they choose to go to the village at their best youth, giving up the comfortable life in the city. I am wondering what make them make such decision. The teacher I know said that they thought they would here just for a few years, but as the time went by, they felt the kids needed them, so they stayed. I am so admire them, they are the real great men.

在1990年，随着国家呼唤教师下乡服务人民，越来越多的教师下乡从事他们的教育事业。人们高度评价教师，因为他们把自己的青春奉献给了教育事业。我在实习的时候认识了一名乡村教师，在乡村的一个月里，我觉得孤独和无聊，开始敬佩乡村教师。他们很伟大，选择在他们最好的年华下乡，放弃了城市里优越的生活。我想知道是什么让他们做这个决定。我认识的那个教师说他们以为会在这里呆个几年，但是随着时间的流逝，他们觉得孩子需要他们，所以决定留下来。我很佩服他们，他们是真正伟大的人。

When we are very small, we dream to be the great person in the future, such as the scientist, the policeman and so on. It is good for the children to own the big dream, so that they will study hard and fight for their future. But the fact is that not all the person can become the great person, most people are doing the ordinary jobs. In my opinion, ordinary is beautiful, too. Though they are not doing the fine jobs, they find their own place and make a contribution to the world. Take the cleaner for example. They wake up early and do the cleaning work. People dare not to do the job because it is so dirty, but the cleaners decorate the city with their hard work. The cleaners are the ordinary people while doing the great job.

在我们很小的时候，梦想将来成为伟大的人，比如科学家，警察等等。孩子有伟大的梦想是好的，这样他们就会努力学习，为他们的将来奋斗。但是事实上，并不是所有的人都能成为伟大的人，大部分人都是做着普通的工作。在我看来，平凡也是美丽的。虽然他们没有做着体面的工作，但是他们找到了自己的位置，为社会做贡献。就拿清洁工来说。他们早早起来做清洁。人们不敢做这份工作，因为脏，但是清洁工通过努力工作去装饰了这个城市。清洁工虽然普通，但是他们却做着伟大的工作。

Dragon Boat Festival is one of the most important lunar festivals in China.It is on the 5th of the fifth lunar month.

端午节是中国的一个最重要的农历节日。它是在农历第五个月的第五。

Almost every Chinese spends this festival.Before,in China,when this day comes,we dont have holiday.But from year 2008 on,the government specified this day as the holiday.Therefore,we can have enough time and energy to celebrate this day.

几乎每一个中国人在这个节日。之前，在中国，当这一天来临的时候，我们没有假日。但从一年2008，政府指定的这一天作为假日。因此，我们可以有足够的时间和精力来庆祝这一天。

In my memery,Dragon Boat Festival is in memory of the greatest poet Quyuan who was a patriot and died for his Country.He died from suicide .He threw himself into the river.In order to memorize him,people invented the zongzi which is a pyramid-shaped dumpling made by glutinous rice wrapped in reed or bamboo leaves.This custom is handed down till now.We now still eat zongzi.When it mentions zongzi,we have to mention Jiaxing zongzi from Zhenjiang province.The zongzi from this place is very famous and delicious .We suggest you should have a try.

在我的记忆中，端午节是最伟大的诗人屈原谁是爱国者，为国家而死的记忆。他死于自杀。他把自己扔入河中。为了纪念他，人们发明了粽子是由糯米饭了粽子包裹在竹叶或芦苇。这种风俗流传至今。现在我们仍然吃粽子。粽子时提到，我们不得不提到嘉兴从镇江省粽子。从这个地方的粽子是非常著名的美味。我们建议你应该试试。

除本节吃粽子，也有一些地方的龙舟比赛。这也是为了纪念屈原。龙舟是一个很有趣的游戏，是人们喜爱的深入。也有很多其他活动的那一天。在我的家乡，我们要吃鸡蛋。我认为每个人都应该有自己的方式为了庆祝他们的节日。

Teacher is a great job in most students’ eyes. When they are asked what they want to be in the future, most will say they want to be a teacher and make a contribution to the society. Indeed, we have access to the teachers all the time and they have great influence on us. So being a teacher is a ideal job for most students, but for me, I want to be a librarian. I like reading books so much and once I have time, I will be immersed in these novels. Books broaden my vision, though I can’t travel to the places, I can still know about these famous sites from these books. Being a librarian can make me have a lot of time to read.

导语：端午节那天佩戴香囊，那你知道端午节那天佩戴香囊的用意是什么吗? 下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的有关端午节的作文，欢迎阅读与借鉴，谢谢!

On Dragon Boat Festival, parents also need to dress their children up with a sachet. They first sew little bags with colorful silk cloth, then fill the bags with perfumes or herbal medicines(草药), and finally string them with silk threads. The sachet will be hung around the neck or tied to the front of a garment as an ornament. They are said to be able to ward off evil.

The sachets (Hsiang Pao in Chinese香包) are very popular with children and they vie(竞争) with each other to collect as many as possible. Children are not the only ones who collect Hsiang Pao. Older people are often given them as a symbol of respect, and they are highly prized because of the intricate(复杂的) and beautiful embroidery(刺绣) that adorns(装饰) them.

【参考译文】

端午节最有特色的饰物就是香包(sachet)。小孩佩戴香包，传说有避邪驱瘟之意。用含有多种香味的药用植物做成的香包也可以预防疾病。

端午节小孩佩香囊，不但有避邪驱瘟之意，而且有襟头点缀之风。香囊内藏有朱砂、雄黄、香药， 外包以丝布，清香四溢， 再以五色丝线弦扣成索，作各种不同形状，结成一串，形形色色，玲珑夺目。

When it comes to honesty, quite a lot of people believe it is essential to

a person’s character and success.

They base their idea on the following reasons: on one hand, successful

business owes much to mutual trust; on another hand, great people in history

such as Abraham Lincoln andGeorge Washington set us good examples of being

honest, they are great because they are honest.

Their reasons run as following: to begin with, cheating on exams is

becoming more and more popular; in addition, some singers and movie stars cheat

on taxes; last but not the least, if you are not careful enough, you’ll buy some

defective goods and fake products.

It is high time we emphasized and encouraged honesty. We can take effective

measures to restore it.

For example, kids should be taught to tell truth, strict rules and

regulations should be carried out to stop cheatings on exams and taxes, etc.

又是一年粽香时。

北方人过端午，除了吃粽子和鸡蛋以外，早晨要起早，采艾蒿而且是带露水的，扫舍驱瘴，佩香囊，少了南方人的赛龙舟。

记得小的时候的端午节这天，天还没亮就被妈妈煮了一夜的粽子香气给叫醒，便赶紧起床，顾不得洗脸冲向厨房，揭开锅探手取出温热的惦记了一年的粽子，粽叶合着糯米大枣的香气扑鼻沁心，妈妈包的是四个棱角的粽子，一个个紧实玲珑，还没等拆开绳子，口水都咽了好几下了，剥开绿色粽叶，晶莹润泽，撒上白糖，那无与伦比的甜蜜顿时萦绕全身，那种香味对于我来说，比任何食物都好吃几倍!

那时会讶异的发现我和妹妹的手腕上，被妈妈晚上趁我们熟睡时悄悄绕上了五色丝线，惊喜的感觉不亚于如今的孩子收到圣诞礼物。妈妈说那是彩绳避邪的。

还要佩香囊。小孩佩香囊，不但有避邪驱瘟的意思，而且佩戴它，对于小姑娘那真是一种最美的装饰品。香囊内有朱砂、雄黄、香药，外包以丝布，各家有各家的形状，最常见的有石榴、元宝、海棠等等，形形色色，清香四溢，玲珑夺目。这一天就是弥散着特殊香氛的一天，女孩子聚在一起拿出香囊互相观赏，比比谁的样子好看香气最足，免不了馈赠几个给朋友带回家里慢慢品赏，看看它的香味到底能持多久。也常有调皮的男娃娃趁小姑娘不备，伸手抢几个，一溜跑开，气的女孩忙追去…

晚上，大人们忙碌了一天坐在餐桌旁，这一天要拿出贮备了久时的好酒，在酒盅里加上雄黄——喝上一盅雄黄酒;那时最爱听父母讲端午节的来历，从他们的讲述中知道了许仙和白娘娘美丽动人的故事，爸爸说白娘娘是白蛇变的，她喜欢上了叫一个许仙的书生，两人如何在断桥相识，白娘娘为许仙不顾一切的去盗取灵芝草，但是许仙听从了一个法海和尚，就在端午节这天，在酒里面放了雄黄让白素贞喝下，果然美丽的白娘娘变成了一条白蛇……，我们听的入了神，记得妈妈还逗我们说：你们也喝点看看能不能变成蛇?我们将信将疑的抿了一口有着特殊的药味的雄黄酒，那时真的担心自己长出蛇的样子来，不时摸摸身后……

今天，没有起早，没有采蒿，没有人给佩戴香囊和五色丝带，也搞不到雄黄酒，只是唯独吃到了妈妈包的粽子，还是止不住让我想念过去的端午节，那种有着中国浓厚传统文化的节日。现在的洋节也开始被我们接受，开始逐渐兴起了，而有着悠久历史和浓郁文化传统的端午节却被韩国注册了，我们过节的味道也越来越淡了，

可惜!又是一年粽香时。

The Duanwu Festival, which is also called the Dragon Boat Festival, is an ancient Chinese traditional festival, celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. For thousands of years, various celebrating activities are held all around the country. Eating zongzi and racing dragon boats are the most pertinent ones, which are said to be in memory of Qu Yuan, a great poet. In some places, people spread realgar wine on the children in the hope of protecting them from the evil spirits. Many people consider May as an especially dangerous time for diseases in a year, and therefore they hang moxa and calamus and things like that around the doors to ward off evil and diseases and pray for good luck.

端午节,又称为端午节,是一个古老的中国传统节日,庆祝农历五月的第五天。几千年来,全国各地举行各种各样的庆祝活动。吃粽子和赛龙舟是最相关的,据说这是为了纪念屈原,一位伟大的诗人。在一些地方,人们传播雄黄酒的孩子希望保护他们的恶灵。许多人认为可能是一个特别危险的疾病在一年的时间,因此他们挂艾和菖蒲等,在大门抵御邪恶和疾病和祈求好运。

It was cooler than yesterday. One of my father’s friends invited me to eat red bayberries. You must know it is unusual. Because we will climb the hill to eat red bayberries. There is no chance to eat red bayberries in the hill for the people who don’t live in Beijing.

On the hill, you can breathe the fresh air, you can listen birds singing and you can eat red bayberries. It was enjoyable. It is said there are wild pigs in the hill. What a beautiful natural.

May Day that day, I meet my brother and younger brother to play in the riverside wetland park. Im very glad to get off when Im singing while jumping down.

So many people in the park! Some fly a kite, some play in the water, and watch the scenery. My favorite is the reeds. The green reeds sway in the wind, as if to welcome us; There were a few wild duck in the reeds, swam to busy to catch fish and shrimp eat; Little dragonfly fly tired, fell on the reeds, pointed to rest!

The park is really fun, we had a happy May Day.

五一节这天，我相约哥哥和弟弟去滨河湿地公园玩。我非常高兴，下车时我是一边哼着歌一边蹦下去的。

公园里的人真多哪!有的放风筝、有的在水边玩耍、还有的观赏风景。我最喜欢的就是芦苇荡。绿油油的芦苇荡随风摇摆，好像是在欢迎我们的到来;还有几只野鸭在芦苇丛中游来游去，正忙着捉鱼虾吃;小蜻蜓飞累了，落在芦苇尖上休息呢!

公园里可真好玩，我们过了个快乐的五一节。

The Dragon Boat Festival， also called Double Fifth Festival， is celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth moon of the lunar calendar. It is one of the most important Chinese festivals，the other two being the Autumn Moon Festival and Chinese New Year.

The origin of this summer festival centers around a scholarly government official named Chu Yuan. He was a good and respected man，but because of the misdeeds of jealous rivals he eventually fell into disfavor in the emperors court.

Unable to regain the respect of the emperor，in his sorrow Chu Yuan threw himself into the Mi Low river. Because of their admiration for Chu Yuan， the local people living adjacent to the Mi Lo River rushed into their boats to search for him while throwing rice into the waters to appease the river dragons.

Although they were unable to find Chu Yuan，their efforts are still commemorated today during the Dragon Boat Festival.

中文翻译

端午节，又称为五五节，因为端午节是在农历的五月五日，是三个重要的中国节庆之一，其他两个分别是中秋节和农历新年。

这个节日的由来是古代中国有一位博学多闻的官吏屈原，他是一位爱民而且又受到尊崇的官吏，但是由於一位充满嫉妒的官吏陷害，从此在朝廷中被皇帝所冷落。由於无法获得皇帝的重视，屈原在忧郁的情况下投汨罗江自尽。

由於对屈原的爱戴，汨罗江畔的居民匆忙的划船在江内寻找屈原，并且将米丢入汨罗江中，以平息汨罗江中的蛟龙。即使他们当时并没有找到屈原，但是他们的行为，直到今天在端午节的时候，仍然被人们传颂纪念著。

“有菱有角，有心有肝，一身清贫，半世熬煎。”你们猜这个谜语是什么?对了，就是粽子!

端午节那天，妈妈一大早起来就开始包粽子，爸爸负责给家人们打电话，邀请他们一起到我们家吃粽子。看妈妈忙得“轰轰烈烈”，我问妈妈粽子是什么馅料的啊?妈妈说“红红火火大枣馅”。只见妈妈把一个枣包在粽米里，最后拿叶子包裹起来。包好之后，妈妈把它们一个一个地放到蒸锅中。过了一会，粽子蒸好了，一共有两大锅呢!空气中弥漫出粽子的香味。妈妈看看表，说：“时间到了!”我深吸了一口气，惊叹地说：“哇，好香啊!”

这时传来当当当的敲门声，开门一看，哇，有爷爷、奶奶、姥姥、姥爷、姐姐都来了!爸爸搬来大桌子，放到客厅，妈妈把粽子放到桌子中间，我们一人一个凳子，一人一双筷子一个碗，准备开吃。但是我现在不能吃，因为长辈们还在洗手呢，长辈不吃，我们晚辈是不能吃的。过了一会，长辈们洗完了手，我们坐在一起，开始吃妈妈包的粽子。

我看奶奶开始吃了，我就迫不及待地开吃了，我一大口咬下去：“烫烫烫!”妈妈说：“别着急，还有呢，又没人跟你抢!”吃了一会，姐姐过来说：“我给你们拍一张照，然后发到朋友圈吧!”爸爸扭过头说：“啊?又拍照啊!我不想照。”妈妈说：“照相啊?我没化妆呢!”我焦急地说：“姐姐拍我，我好看!”其实，我嘴上全是糯米粒。于是，姐姐就咔嚓照了一张，又点来点去地发到朋友圈。我问姐姐：“拍完了吗?我继续吃啦!”姐姐点点头，我又大口大口地吃我还没吃完的粽子，不得不说妈妈包的粽子实在太好吃了!

吃粽子是中华文明中的习俗，我喜欢吃粽子，更喜欢吃妈妈包的粽子!

When it comes to November 11, what’s on your mind? Well, as to the old

generations, it’s only an ordinary day; however, the young generations will

consider it as the Singles’ Day as well as the on-line shopping carnival. In

fact, on November 11th, 2013, Tmall and Taobao (the biggest Chinese online

shopping platform) has sold out more than 35 billion Yuan goods, this data has

astonished the media at home and abroad. Apparently, people have more interests

on cyber shopping than spend the night with their single friends. Some home

media even suggest that November 11th should be the Chinese on-line shopping

carnival.

In 2010, Jack Ma, the CEO of Tmall and Taobao, had coined the term “Double

Eleven”, aimed to encourage the single people to do something to celebrate their

own festival. Instead of dating lovers, people go on-line shopping to relive the

loneliness. According to the survey, China had 564 million Internet users at the

end of last year and 180 million single people. And the single people are the

main force of the China’s spending power. The debut was a great success. Then

“11.11” has an unusual meaning, which stands for on-line shopping carnival.

Comparing with the traditional shopping, the cyber shopping has more

distinguish features, which quite fit the young generations’ taste. People do

not need to go outside, just click their mouse, the goods will be home. The best

part is you can do it anywhere, anytime. All you need is a credit card. What we

can predict in the future is that on-line shopping is not going to fade away,

instead, it will boost like the mushrooms after spring rains.

每年的端午节我们都要吃粽子、赛龙舟、悬艾叶、我最喜欢看赛龙舟的比赛了，这比赛并不是为了争谁第一水第二，是为了在观众面前展示他们娴熟的技能与美好的姿态。

We will eat dumplings, dragon boat race, hanging mugwort leaf, the annual Dragon Boat Festival, I most like to watch dragon boat racing game, the game is not to argue over who first water second, in order to demonstrate their skills and good attitude in front of the audience.

我先来说说粽子吧。粽子是用墨绿色的芦叶包裹着糯米和枣子。煮熟后，剥开芦叶，只见米团里仿佛镶着几颗深红油亮的玛瑙，很好看。粽子的的味道美极了，芦叶散发着清香，咬一口粽子，甜而不腻。

Let me first talk about dumplings. Dumplings are made of dark green reed leaf wrapped glutinous rice and dates. Cooked, peeled reed leaves, I saw the M group with a few red and shiny like agate, very nice. Dumplings are delicious, reed leaf fragrance, a bite of rice dumplings, sweet but not greasy.

粽子还有一个悠久的故事。传说吃粽子是为了纪念古代诗人屈原。屈原一生写过许多着名的诗篇，提出过许多爱国的政治主张，但是君王不采纳。后来君王沦丧，他满怀忧愤跳江自尽。人民还念他，崇敬他。两千多年来，人们把粽子投入江中，当做献给诗人的祭品。——这就是粽子的由来。是的，每逢端午节，人们怎么会忘记伟大的诗人屈原呢?

Rice also had a long story. Legend eat dumplings is to commemorate the ancient poet Qu Yuan. Throughout his life Qu Yuan wrote many famous poems, put forward many patriotic political views, but the king does not accept. Then the king had fallen, he was full of anger jumped into the river. People miss him, worship him. Over the past two thousand years, people threw rice dumplings into the river, as for poets. -- this is the origin of rice dumplings. Yes, during the Dragon Boat Festival, how can people forget the great poet Qu Yuan?

民谚说：“清明插柳，端午插艾”。在端午节，人们把插艾和菖蒲作为重要内容之一。家家都洒扫庭除，以菖蒲、艾条插于门眉，悬于堂中。并用菖蒲、艾叶、榴花、蒜头、龙船花，制成人形或虎形，称为艾人、艾虎;制成花环、佩饰，美丽芬芳，妇人争相佩戴，用以驱瘴。

Proverb said: "Ching Ming inserted Liu, Dragon Boat inserted AI". During the Dragon Boat Festival, people put the mugwort and calamus as one of important content. Everybody sasao addition, calamus, AI inserted in the door eyebrow, hanging in the hall. And calamus, Wormwood Leaves, pomegranate, garlic, Ixora, make humanoid or tiger shaped, called AI, Ai Hu; made garlands, accessories, beauty and fragrance, woman eager to wear, to drive malaria.

艾，又名家艾、艾蒿。它的茎、叶都含有挥发性芳香油。它所产生的奇特芳香，可驱蚊蝇、虫蚁，净化空气。中医学上以艾入药，有理气血、暖子宫、祛寒湿的功能。将艾叶加工成“艾绒”，是灸法治病的重要药材。

Ai Ai, and famous expert, mugwort. It stems, leaves contain volatile aromatic oil. It produces strange aroma, mosquitoes flies, ants, air purification. Traditional Chinese medicine with AI medicine, rational Qi and blood, warm uterus, dispelling dampness function. The leaves will be processed into moxa ", is an important medicinal moxibustion treatment.

The Dragon Boat Festival, also called Double Fifth Festival, is celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth moon of the lunar calendar. It is one of the most important Chinese festivals, the other two being the Autumn Moon Festival and Chinese New Year。

The origin of this summer festival centers around a scholarly government official named Chu Yuan. He was a good and respected man, but because of the misdeeds of jealous rivals he eventually fell into disfavor in the emperors court。

Unable to regain the respect of the emperor, in his sorrow Chu Yuan threw himself into the Mi Low river. Because of their admiration for Chu Yuan, the local people living adjacent to the Mi Lo River rushed into their boats to search for him while throwing rice into the waters to appease the river dragons。

Although they were unable to find Chu Yuan, their efforts are still commemorated today during the Dragon Boat Festival。

端午节，又称为五五节，因为端午节是在农历的五月五日，是三个重要的中国节庆之一，其他两个分别是中秋节和农历新年。

这个节日的由来是古代中国有一位博学多闻的官吏屈原，他是一位爱民而且又受到尊崇的官吏，但是由於一位充满嫉妒的官吏陷害，从此在朝廷中被皇帝所冷落。由於无法获得皇帝的重视，屈原在忧郁的情况下投汨罗江自尽。

由於对屈原的爱戴，汨罗江畔的居民匆忙的划船在江内寻找屈原，并且将米丢入汨罗江中，以平息汨罗江中的蛟龙。即使他们当时并没有找到屈原，但是他们的行为，直到今天在端午节的时候，仍然被人们传颂纪念着。

一年一度的端午节又到了，它是我国的传统节日，但它是怎么来的呢?通过查资料，我了解到：原来，端午是为了纪念屈原一样的爱国人士的，而且，端午节有很多习俗：包粽子、赛龙舟、做香囊等。我喜欢吃粽子，这次也不例外，我和妈妈一起包粽子。

我们准备了许多材料：有粽叶、糯米、红枣和咸肉等。

开始包粽子了。妈妈先把糯米浸泡在水里，再把粽叶和红枣放入水中清洗一下，将枣核去掉;然后，把浸泡好的糯米放入铺平的粽叶里，包成三角状，不封口;接着，将处理好的红枣放进去，又在上面撒了一层糯米，封上口;最后，在粽子外面系上腰带。我也跟着做。很快，一个一个口味不一的小粽子做好了，它们排成一排，可爱得很!妈妈把它们放入锅里，用中火蒸。我开启了等待之旅。

不大一会儿，美味的粽子就要出锅了。那香喷喷的气味勾引我来到了锅前，打开锅盖，抓起一个粽子：“哎呀!呼呼!好烫!”我慌忙扔掉粽子，把伸出去的手又抽了回来。妈妈转个头来提醒我：“小心点儿，你这个小贪吃鬼!别添乱了，还是让我来吧!”说完，妈妈拿来筷子，把粽子一个一个夹到盘子里，端到桌上。这些三角形的粽子，像一座座小山，堆在盘子里，真好看!我耐心等了一会儿，等粽子不烫了，拿起一个粽子，解开它的带子，脱掉它的绿衣服，狼吞虎咽地吃了起来。一旁的爸爸见我吃得这么香，笑了，说：“吃粽子是为了纪念像屈原一样的爱国人士，我们可不能忘记他们。”我若有所思地点了点头：爸爸说得对，绝对不能忘记这些为国付出的人。

这次的端午节，我觉得自己又长大了一岁：作为中国人，我定要向屈原他们学习，做一个热爱祖国的好男儿!

Each year, people burn or cut down 143,000 square kilometers (55,000 square

miles) of the forest. People who burn or cut down trees do it for different

reasons: farmers cut down trees in order to get more fertilize lands to grow

rice or vegetables, and use the woods as fuel. Timber companies cut down trees

and turn them into furniture or paper productions. As to goal miners, they

remove the forests to find out whether there are goal underground.

However, many of us fail to realize that forests are the lungs of the

earth. When we cut down trees, we also push ourselves in to a dangerous

situation. That is the global warming. When you come to think about it, there

are only few ways to solve these negative effects: stop cutting down trees

blindly; try to find some clear energy that can replace oil and coal. But these

solutions can be impractical to some degreed.

Why trees can be so important to the whole nature? First of all, trees are

the habitat of many animals. When we cut down trees, we not only destroy

animals’ habitats but also ourselves. We just gradually destroy natural links.

The result is that many spices of animals and plants are dying out. Secondly,

cutting down trees cause global warming, to some degree. Naturalists compare

forest to human’s lungs. The forests absorb the carbon dioxide and other gas

that cause global warming, and then give off the oxygen that good for the human

beings and other living creatures. It’s refreshed the air as well as reduced the

noise. If the air quality is bad, people may die from cancers, or the new

diseases for which they have no immunity. Forests also play an important role in

the prevention of natural disasters. Warmer temperatures cause water to expand

and also create more water by melting polar ice caps. That’s to say, the nations

which near the ocean may have been flooded by the water. But the forests can

prevent water loss and soil erosion, and cool off the global temperatures. It’s

the key to keep the balance of the nature.

Sometimes people only care about money making; they don’t care about the

price we pay for the pollution. When the disaster is around the corner, we may

be afraid and frustrated. The earth, on which our economies have always been

based, is suddenly threatening our existence. All we hope that is this

overpopulated, over industrialized planet can carry on for a longer time. And

maybe, it’s time for us to realize that we should protect the earth, stop

cutting down trees blindly and madly.

The joyous Mid-Autumn Festival was celebrated on the fifteenth day of the

eighth moon, around the time of the autumn equinox(秋分). Many referred to it

simply as the "Fifteenth of the Eighth Moon".

This day was also considered as a harvest festival since fruits, vegetables

and grain had been harvested by this time and food was abundant. Food offerings

were placed on an altar set up in the courtyard. Apples, pears, peaches, grapes,

pomegranates(石榴), melons, oranges and pomelos(柚子) might be seen. Special foods

for the festival included moon cakes, cooked taro(芋头)and water caltrope(菱角), a
