There is no doubt that traffic congestion becomes a growing worry for the residents of most urban areas. Some major roads are regularly choked with traffic in rush hours. The limited transport capacity contributes largely to the vexing problem. How to solve the headache?

The existing solutions to traffic jam mainly aims at creating metro bus systems and broadening major roads. Widening the existing roads can solve traffic snarls on some level. Soaring car ownership compounds the chronic annoying problem, so we must sharply reduce the heavy reliance on cars and drive a shift to the mass transportation. It is a cheap and good way. We can create a system of customized bus routes and highlight the development of subways, trolleys and light rail. The effective combination of these solutions will enable the urban areas to possess a smooth traffic.

毫无疑问，交通堵塞成为大多数城市居民日益担心的问题。一些主要道路在交通高峰时经常堵塞。有限的运输能力在很大程度上造成了令人烦恼的问题。如何解决头痛?

现有的交通堵塞解决方案主要是建立地铁公交系统和拓宽主要道路。拓宽现有道路，可以在一定程度上解决交通挤塞。飞涨的汽车拥有权构成了长期困扰的问题，所以我们必须大幅减少对汽车的依赖，推动大众运输的发展。这是一个便宜又好的方法。我们可以建立一个系统的定制巴士路线，并突出发展的地铁，手推车和轻轨。这些解决方案的有效结合将使城市地区拥有顺畅的交通。

Its almost the end of April. Summer has come to us in my city. In south,

summer always comes earlier than north. It has been hot for about half a month.

The highest temperature reached 37 degree. Now, there are much less people in

the street. People are not likely to go out during the summer. Its so hot

outside. Swimming is the most favorite activity in my city. The pools are always

full filled with people. Parents often take their children to swimming pool at

night. Personally, I do not like summer, because its too hot and the sunshine

is strong. I sweat a lot and that makes me very uncomfortable. Therefore, summer

is tough time for me and I always expect winter to come.

With the rapid development and the overpopulated in this society, more and

more people rushing into the big cities for personal development. So, the

housing problems in the big cities is becoming more and more serious.

In my humble opinion, there are several ways to slove this problems. First

of all, we can expend the cities, and build more apartment in the country. The

fresh air and clean water will attract young people to live there. What’ more,

the housing price will be lower than the big cities. Second, the government

should control the price of the house. If the house is too expensive, many

people may not be able to afford a house on their own. The government should

build some cheap apartment for the poor, the young people. Last but not least,

we should have more skyscapes, the land is limited, we need more space to

support people to have a good living condition.

A good living condition is the key to social stability. if our country have

enough houses, the pressure can be relieved to some degree. And our people can

live a better environment.

Iraq is a part of the Middle East next to Iran & Kuwait. It is very

important to the rest of the world because of its underground petroleum

fields.

It is said that oil is industrial blood and for this reason perhaps the war

started.

On September 11,2001,the Twin Towers in New York as well as parts of the

Pentagon were destroyed by an airplane planned by terrorists, which made George

Bush declared to fight the country’s enemies.It was said that Iraq still

possessed many weapons of mass destruction and weapon inspectors were sent to

the country by the UN to find the clues.Though no evidence was found, America

still wanted to go to war with Iraq and the main target is Sadam Hussein. The

war was just like the quiet battle between France and China in 1800s.It was said

that a relation of Sadam betrayed him.

I think war is not just a matter of two persons or two-family fight. It is

related to so many victims’ inrerests . As a leader, one must always think for

al

the people, so will his country be prosperous for always.

word. Whats the best way to know it?

You may look it up in an English-Chinese Dictionary. It will tell you a lot

about the word, the pronunciation, the part of speech, the Chinese meaning and

also how to use this word.

But how can you find it in the dictionaiy both quickly and correctly7

First, all the English words are arranged in thealphabetical order. In the

dictionary you can first see the words beginning with the letter A, then B, C,

D, E,... That means, if there are two,words "desert" and "pull", "desert" will

be certainly before "pull". Then if there are two words both beginning with the

same letter, you may lo0k at the second letter. Then the third, the fourth, ...

For example,"pardon" is before "plough", "judge" before "just",etc.

Do you understand how to look up a word in dictionary?

The dictionary will be your: good friend. I hope youll use it as often as

possible in your English learning.

读到了丁远峙着的《方与圆》中的内容，有一句是这么写的：人生成功的金钥匙就是相信自己，勇敢行动，对人生、事业怀有无比的热忱，如果你把握了这三把金钥匙，那么成功之路就展现在你眼前……

这一句话将成为我的座右铭之一，虽然我还在读书，但距离工作已是近在咫尺了，所以我要努力，为自己的人生铺一条成功的道路。

Life is a struggle. I shall never forget the most striking part of Henry

Wadsworth Longfellow s poem -- A Psalm of Life: "In the worlds blood field of

battle, In the bivouac of life, Be not like dumb, driven cattle! Be a hero in

the strife!"

Ludwig van Beethoven was a typical "hero in the strife". He was not only

one of the greatest composers, but also one of the most persevering men. As a

deaf man, he went on working with his strong will in the last year of his life,

though he was not able to hear his own fine and original music. Another example

of persistence in struggle is Deng Yaping. She once said that her technique came

from continuous training, emphasizing the importance of daily practice to a

player.

As a student, I seem to be in a boat sailiug against the current. I must

make an effort to forge ahead. A little carelessness will result in being driven

back. Indeed, learning is a struggle against idleness and carelessness.

Following the examples of Ludwig van Beethoven and Deng Yaping, I shall take

great pains to urge myself on, moving steadily forward like a heroic boatman in

the rough sea of knowledge.

Xiao Hong is going to learn to ride bicycles. She is on the bike and ready

to ride when her father, mother and grandmother come and help her.Her father

holds one handle of the bike, and her mother holds the other,with a first-aid

box on the shoulder. Her grandmother holds the back seat tightly. They are all

wet with sweat. However, the bike is being moved not by Xiao Hong herself but by

her parents and grandmother. "Let me do it myself, will you?" says Xiao Hong to

them. From this picture, we can see how much the parents care for the children.

In my opinion, it is right that parents should take care of their children. But

as children, we need the chance to learn and practice some skills by ourselves.

We need to grow up independently. Let us do it ourselves.

On a sunny day, Xiao Hong is learning to ride bicycles. She is about to

ride when her parents and grandmother come and help her. They hold the handles

and the back seat. Her mother carries a first-aid box on the shoulder. They look

worried and are all wet with sweat. The bike moves ahead. However, it is driven

not by Xiao Hong but by her parents and grandmother. "Let me do it myself, will

you?" says Xiao Hong to them. In fact, the parents love their children very

much. I agree that parents should take good care of their children, but parents

shouldnt help them do everything. After all children need to practice and be

independent. They need to grow up themselves. Parents should stand aside and let

them do if they can do it themselves.

梦想，是一个人长大以后想要干的事情。因此，每个人都有自己独一无二的梦想。梦想，是一种内心强大的力量。梦想，可以使幼小的鸟儿，经过努力，飞向天空;梦想，可以让小小的幼苗在困境中生长，可以让幼苗破境重生;梦想，可以让残疾的人有勇气重新面对生活，走出黑暗。我有了中国梦，我的中国梦?不，是你的，我的，他的，大家共同的梦。因为它需要每个人的努力搭建而来，我们的“桃花源”又怎么会是一场梦呢?人家说少年富，则国富，少年强，则国强。我说我心怀天下，情系四方，我言我前途无量，定成天之骄子，中国未来的一代精英。或许可笑，笑我年少轻狂，笑我梦想不可触亦不可及。我不然，我的梦，便是中国的梦。

古有陶渊明的精神梦界“不为五斗米折腰。”而今，我们的中国梦在精神世界里该是怎么样的呢?

有的人因处境艰难，遗失了美好的善良品格，忘却了“穷且益艰，不坠青云之志。”殊不知，“李小二”的力量，其实你的力量就是中国梦中不可或缺的源泉。我们会沉迷在虚幻的世界里，那是一副民风淳朴的风情画，倚南窗的翠翠，她的爱情是自然，朦胧，执着，纤尘不染，如水晶般纯洁透明。是啊，呼吸着葱绿山林滤过的空气，蹋着古色古香的小城，站在木纹鲜活的吊脚楼上，可是这只是一个虚幻的爱情故事吗?分明是借着翠翠这个人物赞扬美德。那里有渡船老人的善良朴实，那里有老黄狗的忠诚……一个民族的美德，不也是要靠这样传承下来吗?

“走和平可发展道路，维护党的利益、党的尊严，切记党的纪律。”这是新闻上不断重复的一句话。“是啊!党的纪律是以致中国之策，党是光荣的，我们应以党为光荣，以党的纪律为第一，尊重落实个人的基本职业。党的思想路线是一切从实际出发，理论联系实际，实事求是，在实践中检验真理和发展真理。为把我国建设成为富强、民主、文明的社会主义现代化国家而奋斗，建设富强民主文明和谐的社会主义现代化国家。“中国梦”是实现中华民族伟大复兴梦，也是在这复兴的过程中每个个体的自我实现之梦。伟大的事业，源于伟大的梦想。个人的奋斗如此，国家的发展亦然。

环顾世界，很少有民族，能像中华民族那样，历经苦难与辉煌;也很少有国家，在持续奋斗中，始终坚持同一个梦想。”保持党的先进性和纯洁性，增强党的创造力、凝聚力和战斗力，使我们党在世界形势深刻变化的历史进程中始终走在时代前列，在应对国内外各种风险考验的历史进程中始终成为全国人民的主心骨，在建设有中国特色社会主义的历史进程中始终成为坚强的领导核心。这是一个美好的中国梦，在这个美好的中国梦内，有成亿的群众们在背后努力，不断呐喊道：“中国，向前!向前!向前!”

莫要笑我年少轻狂，正因为年少，因为青春，所以我们敢有梦，敢去追逐。我用跬步积成的中国行，圆我的梦，我的中国梦。

我在枯燥的学习中，我一次次地想过放弃，又一次次地站了起来，告诉自己，你现在做的一切，都是为了将来能让中国强盛起来!其中，有一种无形的力量在支撑着我，我霎时明白了，这，就是我的中国梦!同时我的脑海里闪过一句话“少年强则国强，少年富则国富”。正是如此，只有少年找到了自己的中国梦，中国才会越来越强盛。昨天，今天，明天，我都会为了自己，为了梦想，更为中国，向更高更远处飞翔。

人生对生活充满了乐趣和希望!我们现在的一切都是为将来的梦想而编织理想的翅膀我的中国梦?让梦想在现实中展翅高飞!所以，为梦想而奋斗吧!而飞翔吧!

In Chinese culture, it is every childs duty to return their parents as

they grow up. The children know their duty and they work hard to give parents a

better life. As a child, I was grateful to my parents as they gave me all their

love, so I made up my mind that I must earn a lot of money and then I could pay

back my parents money. But as I grew up, I realized that money was not that

only way I could return my parents. Whats more, my parents dont care about my

money, and they just want to spend more time with me. When I grow up, I will

move out and probably live far away from them. At that time, if I come home

often, they will be happy. I think every parent just want care from their

children.

there are gains for all our losses,

there are balms for all our pain;

but when youth, the dream, departs

it takes something from our hearts,

and it never comes again.

we are stronger, and are better,

under manhood’s sterner reign;

still we feel that something sweet

followed youth, with flying feet,

and will never come again.

something beautiful is vanished,

and we sigh for it in vain;

we behold it everywhere,

on the earth, and in the air,

but it never comes again!

每个人的一生都有许多梦想，但如果其中一个不断打搅着你，那么剩下的就仅仅是行动了。

——题记

疲倦的双眼在魔鬼般的黑夜里休眠了足有一个世纪之久，耳边吱吱唔唔的闹钟声像是小鸟在枝头戏谑着春的生意。耳朵很自然的动了动，四周一片漆黑，伸手摸黑按下开关。刹那间，火红的白炽灯光刀尖般的刺入眼球。顿时，心中的压抑又多了几分。目光在火红的光圈上停留了一下，透过明亮的光线看过去，飘在教学楼前一面鲜红的旗帜的幻觉又浮现在我脑际，我想到那满是红叉的试卷，便习以为常的呼了一口气，因为这是无意识的幻觉。

不知什么时候的习惯，我已经厌恶了朋友的窃窃私语，那些令人刺耳的风生似乎是充满着生活的各个角落，有时一笑而过，有时作聋不语。至高无上的权利，代表了油光满面的书生梦，倚叠如山的金钱，代表了凡夫俗子的状元梦。面对老师辛勤的教导，在我们坚强的心灵深处也有着璀璨明耀的青年梦。

穿衣洗漱一体完成，收好书本，子弹般的冲向学校。教室里七零八落的坐着几个同学，各自低头忙事，这种感觉我不自觉地喜欢。

校园里的林荫道上，嫩绿的小草在疾风掠过后，四处探着头。倔强的我们似乎从不愿低头。两道劲挺的垂柳自由的摆动着柳枝，像是古代的铜钟为人们提醒着每时每刻；每枝上都布满着翠绿的嫩叶，是新生的，充满生机勃勃的叶子。在五颜六色的阳光下茁壮的生长着。背上的书包，像是沉重的壳体在结构着身体的平衡，却又寄托着千万个青年梦。

有时我们会沉迷在虚幻的世界里，展开画卷，淡淡的墨痕勾勒出磅礴的山河，浅浅的绿迹流露着蓬勃的生机。一副如仙似幻的水墨画，一段和谐安谧的心境。哦，那是水墨丹青的中国画。

有时我感到我的生活就像小草一样，每当我感到仿佛被生活踩了，总有那草叶的芬芳；像我一样，挺直渺小的身躯，伸向那神秘的天空。在心寂寞了的岁月里，我最分明的感受到了灵魂的声音；就像那用力摇动这大树的风，因渴望春天的痛苦而大声呼号着。那灵魂的声音，是来子世界的、未来的，是呼唤我未来的声音。哦，那是我的梦，也是千千万中国学子的梦。

这半夜的风和雨，撕开沉闷的黄昏；像不倦的鸟儿，对着永恒的沉寂啼鸣；在我要准备为我的未来，哦，那也是你的未来；在我要准备为你我的未来歌唱时，那鸟儿却沉默了；但这沉寂下来的笛声却是那么的美妙，使我那小小的心，曾经为梦执着的痛苦过的心——收起了骄傲的自尊，充满自信，沉默在光明里，爆发在黑暗里。

我醒来了，明白了，这一切不过是一场梦；却是我一生中唯一的一个梦罢了。

目光在那火红的太阳圈上动了动，看见了它慢慢移动的路途，到哪儿？看，它慢慢的滑向高空。在世界的东方，那太阳慢慢的滑向地球东方的高空，那是它日复一日的，但从来都没有失信过。然后，让全世界的人都知道，今天的太阳依然升起，不论光芒，都是那么的迷人，即使今天是雨天。

Every year a lot of people are killed or injured in road accidents. How can

we make the roads safer? Remember the following traffic rules.

When you ride a bike, keep to the right side of the road. Dont cross the

road or turn left at a red traffic light. Give a hand signal if you want to turn

or stop.

Before crossing the road, stop and look both ways, right and left. If the

road is clear, it is safe to cross. The correct way to cross is to walk quickly,

but not to run. If you run across the road, you may fall down.

If you see small children or old people waiting to cross the road, it is a

kind deed to help them to cross in safety. We should teach small children not to

play or ride on the roads.

Always obey these rules, youll find it much safer to walk or ride on the

road.

There is a saying that every family has its trouble. Indeed, no one can go

on well all the time. My parents have found the good way to educate us. Thus,

when there is conflict happening between the relatives, we obey the rules and

know what to do. My parents have set up many rules for me and my sister, which

works to solve problems. The first rule is to say thank you when we get help.

Such as when someone open the door for us, we also need to show gratitude. I

find people feel happy when I say thank you to them. The second rule is to never

get angry for more than two days. So when I have disputes with my sister, we

wont be mad at each other for long time. The family rules make me a better

person.

If I were a boy again, I would practice perseverance more often, and never

give up a thing because it was or inconvenient. if we want light, we must

conquer darkness. perseverance can sometimes equal genius in its results. “there

are only two creatures,” says a proverb, “who can surmount the pyramids—the

eagle and the snail.”

if i were a boy again, I would school myself into a habit of attention; i

would let nothing come between me and the subject in hand. i would remember that

a good skater never tries to skate in two directions at once.the habit of

attention becomes part of our life, if we begin early enough. i often hear grown

up people say “ i could not fix my attention on the sermon or book, although I

wished to do so” , and the reason is, the habit was not formed in youth.

if I were to live my life over again, I would pay more attention to the

cultivation of the memory. I would strengthen that faculty by every possible

means, and on every possible occasion. it takes a little hard work at first to

remember things accurately; but memory soon helps itself, and gives very little

trouble. it only needs early cultivation to become a power.
