study. A year passed, I learned a lot and became independent.

《云中歌》是中国言情作家桐华所写的一本小说，是《大汉情缘》系列小说的第二部，三部小说的背景及人物有贯通和串联，但是彼此又是独立的故事。《云中歌》承接了上部作品《大漠谣》的故事背景，讲述西汉时期，霍去病与金玉的女儿霍云歌与汉昭帝刘弗陵和才子孟珏的爱情故事。

该书共分为三册，首版于2007年在作家出版社出版;2014年该书由于正工作室改编拍摄为《大汉情缘之云中歌》。

《第一部》

西汉时期，八岁的汉昭帝刘弗陵被追逼到万里荒漠，走投无路之际，一个骑着天山雪驼的绿衫女孩云歌凭空降临，将其带出荒漠。冷漠似冰的刘弗陵最终被精灵可爱的云歌打动，互赠礼物后相约十年后的长安相会。

十年后，云歌带着儿时的诺言来到长安寻找刘弗陵，无奈此时的刘哥哥不仅不记得儿时的大漠诺言，而且身边还多了个贤惠美丽的女子许平君。伤心的云歌正欲返回西漠，却遇上了难缠的绝世美男孟珏，云歌以为幸福的生活从此开始，谁知又卷入了一场宫廷王位之争。

《第二部》

牢狱中的奄奄一息的云歌终于被辨认出身份，与皇帝刘弗陵劫后重逢。因为无法立刻接受自己当年认错人，后来移情公子孟珏的事实，更不知如何面对真正的“陵哥哥”，遂与刘弗陵定下一年之约。宫中的时光渐渐愈合了云歌心中的创伤，与刘弗陵日渐熟稔起来。在撮合刘弗陵与皇后上官小妹未果之后，云歌终于接受了刘弗陵的感情，两人决定日后离开皇宫，比翼双飞。孰料就在等待刘弗陵安排“后事”的过程中，云歌无意发现刘弗陵流连上官小妹处，遂伤心欲绝而归去。路遇公子孟珏，谈话中心生疑惑，拨马回宫后发现隐情--刘弗陵已得不治之症。云歌誓与刘弗陵不会再分离，多方寻医为其治病，甚至为此许嫁他人。刘弗陵病情反复，刘弗陵选中的两人：荒唐王爷刘贺和卫公子之孙刘询之间的暗自斗争已呈白热化趋势，手握大权的霍光又蠢蠢欲动。当山雨欲来的时刻，云歌选择和刘弗陵把握住当下的快乐和幸福。

《第三部》

在对的时间，遇见对的人，是一生幸福;在对的时间，遇见错的人，是一场心伤;在错的时间，遇见对的人，是一世无奈;在错的时间，遇见错的人，是一段折磨。

云歌与刘弗陵终结成夫妻，彼此情投意合，感情和睦，在刘弗陵的悉心安排下，上官小妹的协助下，历经与霍光的明争暗斗，皇位最终交接给流落民间的皇孙刘询，刘询成了这一场皇位之争的最大获益者，而刘贺则是这场皇位之争的最大受害者，红衣为了救他，身受重伤而亡，刘贺到最后才明白“同心结”的寓意，孟珏此时也明白了云歌心中的同心结所指。刘询登基后，看似是一个好的开始，其实一切的阴谋才真正开始从海面下浮出，云歌面对一个接一个残酷的真相，命垂一线，许平君身亡。纷纭往事俱过，当刘询打开封藏在树洞里，年少时大家许下的心愿时，不过淡淡几滴泪。

Which is better, shopping online or traditional shopping? Different people

have different attitudes towards it. Some people think that online shopping is

very convenient, for it can save them a lot of time and energy. It’s especially

helpful for those who are always busy with their work. Besides, through the

internet, they can get more information about the commodities they want to buy

and buy a lot of things that cannot be bought in local places.

Nevertheless, I’m not keen on online shopping at all, since most

commodities which are bought online are of poor quality. Once we are cheated, we

may find it difficult to make a complaint. Thus we should take more cautions

when shopping online.

In my eyes, I prefer traditional shopping, because I can choose what I

really need. Also, I can know the quality of every commodity more clearly. Even

if there’s something wrong with the commodities, I can still ask the sellers to

compensate for my loss.

Then, the representative of the bedroom Zhu Guozhang asked us to guess a

line of a poem related to the above situation. He added that Li Xinmin alone was

born in the year of the dog and the other three were all born in the year of the

chicken. They left us all in confusion. And it was our monitor who was

quickwitted. He shouted our, "The day breaks as the cock crows three times at

dawn." The hall After that, they had another item. This time Li Xinmin was

placed in the middle of the circle. While he was standing there, the other three

stood around him, each bowing down to him at an angle of 120 degrees. It was an

idiom. This time I got it right:"The dog stands out among a group of

chickens."

Mid-autumn day is a special festival in China, which is one of the traditional Chinese festivals. It falls on the 15th day of Augustlunar month every year. Our Chinese will celebrate it on that day. I think there are not too many people can reject the temptation of it. I like this festival very much. I have two reasons.

First of all, Mid-autumn has the deep meaning of reunion. In China, people regard Mid-autumn day as very important, so no matter where they are, they will come back to their family if there is a chance. They don’t like celebrate this festival outside, which will make them feel lonely. Thus, they will go home by all means. Luckily, the government also pays great attention to this traditional festival. There are laws tomake sure people have holidays on that special day. In the other word, mid-autumn festival gives a chance for family get together.

Secondly, every family will prepare a big meal on that day. All the food is delicious. It is good to have a big meal. I think nobody will not interested in delicious food. The mooncake is a necessary decoration forMid-autumn day. It tastes good, too. It is the tradition for a long time. How pleased to enjoy the glorious full moon with mooncake!

This is why I love Mid-autumn festival so much.

Notes：

readingcan make us roam in the ocean of knowledge, I am very fond of reading.

Every time after school, I walk while thinking, "read yesterday? The book in there? Well... left... right, right? Right! Second row seventh on the right." The thought that can read a book, I am very happy, want to get home soon. I just came back home a voracious reading, often back too monographs and forget to do my homework, until it grew dark, I was reluctant to put down the book, open the exercise books. When do the car, because I often read a book and sat to the terminal. The book I have ever seen, there are many "five thousand years" "one thousand nights" the young big world... Every day I swim in the sea of books, go to the piranha, go to ancient savage, went to the alien to see building... Now, my belly ink also has a few barrels!

After reading can let a person growth knowledge, I also read more books!

看书可以让我们遨游在知识的海洋里，我就十分喜欢看书。

每一次放学时，我就边走边想：“昨天读到了什么地方?那本书放在了那里?恩....左边...不对，右边?对!右边第二排第七个。”一想到可以看书了，我就特别高兴，想马上就到家。一回到家里我就如饥似渴地看书，常常回因为太专著而忘了做作业，直到天色渐渐暗了下去，我才恋恋不舍地放下书，打开作业本。每当做车时，我也常常因为看书而一直坐到终点站。我看过的书有许多《上下五千年》《一千零一夜》《少年大世界》....每一天我都畅游在书的海洋里，去看食人鱼、去远古看野人、去外星看建筑.....现在，我的肚子里的墨水也有几桶了!

看书可以让人增长知识，我以后还要读更多的书!

Dear editor,

I’m writing to tell you about the discussion we have had about whether an entrance fee should be charged for parks. 60% of us schoolmates think that an entrance fee do not meet people’s expectations, for a park is considered to be a place where the public can have a good time when they are not busy either at home or at work. If an entrance fee must be paid by the visitors for a park, it will be necessary to build a gate and surrounding walls. In the end a city will take on a bad look. 40% of us schoolmates think that an entrance fee can be accepted, but it must not be too expensive. The money from ticket selling can be used for paying the gardeners in the park and buying some other kinds of flowers and trees.

With regard to myself, I think an entrance fee is useful, for it can be used to protect a park. Do we share the same opinion, dear editor?

Yours truly,

Li Hua

Today is womens day, and also the day I get the scholarship. Look! I made

a chocolate bar for my mother with a scholarship. Although I have paid a lot for

myself, I am very happy in my heart: I can also give my mother a gift, instead

of wrapping around my mother for presents!

But mom is sick and cant eat sweet food. I had to put the chocolate in the

fridge, but after a few days my mother was very ill, and she took a big bite,

and I eagerly asked, "is it good?" She said it was a little sandy. I took a

bite, too. I was a little depressed. But my mother encouraged me, "but its

sweet, its great!" My heart is sweet and happy! I wrote a few words

specifically for my mother, although it was not very good.

Last week, our teacher gave us a task. We needed to interview some people

and collect different opinions. At first, I felt it a difficult task, because I

was such a shy person that I dared not to talk to strangers. In order to finish

the task, I cooperated with my classmates. They helped me to ask people for a

second, then I started to talk with them in a comfortable way. I felt much eased

soon and no longer felt shy. Now I get over my fear and become stronger. This is

the good sign of growing up. I am so thankful to my classmates. Without their

help, I wont go that far.

Recently, “clearyour plate” campaign is more and more popular in society, which advocates saving against wasting. The campaign draws our attention to wasting on campus.Some students are noticed to throw away a lot of food in the canteen. As is often the case, some lights are still on with nobody in classrooms. What’s more, many a student spends much money buying unnecessary items. As far as Iam concerned, it’s high time that we fought against wasting. Here’re my suggestions. Firstly, I think our school should carry out various activities to arouse students’ awareness of saving. Secondly, relevant rules and regulations are supposed to be made to punish those who waste things. Most importantly, we should form the habit of saving from now. It is everybody’s duty to save resources.

通过今天的母亲节，我懂得了很多道理，母亲不但赋予了我们生命，而且还养育我们、教育我们，为了我们的健康成长，她们操碎了心，我们以后一定要讲究卫生、好好学习，用好的身体、好的成绩来报答妈妈。

Through todays mothers day, I learned a lot of truth. Mother not only gave

us life, but also raised and educated us. For our healthy growth, they broke

their hearts. We must pay attention to health, study hard, and repay our mother

with good health and good grades.

通过这次母亲节活动，我还知道了母亲节是每年五月的第二个星期天，这个节日最早起源于古希腊。

Through this mothers Day activity, I also know that mothers Day is the

second Sunday of May every year, which originated in ancient Greece.

这个母亲节过得真快乐!真难忘!

How happy mothers Day is! Its unforgettable!

Everyone has their own habit. I have some living habits. I will take off my

shoes and put on the slippers when I arrive home. And I get used to drink some

soup before having dinner. What’s more, I have to keep my room light on until I

fall asleep. If I am forced to change anything about this, I will be very

uncomfortable. For example, if I don’t wear slipper at home, I will be very

uncomfortable. If I can’t drink soup before dinner, I can’t eat anything. And I

can’t fall asleep if the light is off. This is my living habit. Maybe I will

change it one day, but now I can’t receive any change about them.

Hi, Im Shao Ying. Im going to have a busy Sunday.

It is far, so we are going by bus. In the evening, we are going to watch TV together.

How about you?

Nowadays, house husband has become a hot phenomenon in modern society. As

we all know that no matter what country, it’s a tradition that men play a core

role in family who always take the burden to earn money to support their family.

But things are kind of different as society develops, more and more men are

beginning to take over housework while women go out from house. In my point of

view, I think this is not a big deal.

In the first place, house husband may be a shame title for men, but when it

comes to money, there is no room for reputation. As society develops, the life

standard are rising, and everything for living is much expensive than before, if

couples want to guarantee their life quality, then they should let the one who

earn better to work, although the one is female.

In the second place, it’s fine for women to support family as long as they

earn better than men. In the past, women always were treated very badly, and

they got no rights to be educated, to work. In some countries, they can’t even

show their face to others. A traditional female role is to stay at home, taking

care of children and do all of the housework. But now, lots of women have a good

job, so that they totally have the ability to be the economic backbone.

Therefore, in order to take good care of family, men are likely to stay at home

to do housework. I don’t think it’s a shame for men, because no matter what you

do, as long as you do it well, you are successful.

To sum up, people should change their opinion about core role of a family.

It’s acceptable for women to support the family, and there is no shame for men

to do the housework. As long as you remember life quality comes first.

Halloween is an observance celebrated on the night of October 31,most notably by children dressing in costumes and going door-to-door collecting candy.It is celebrated in much of the Western world,though most common in the United States,Most other Western countries have embraced Halloween as a part of American pop culture in the late 20th century.

So,although some cults may have adopted Halloween as their favorite "holiday," the day itself did not grow out of evil practices.It grew out of the rituals of Celts celebrating a new year,and out of Medieval prayer rituals of Europeans.And today,even many churches have Halloween parties or pumpkin carving events for the kids.After all,the day itself is only as evil as one cares to make it.

万圣节是纪念庆祝10月31日晚,尤其是在服饰打扮儿童和挨家挨户上门收集糖果.这是在庆祝西方世界很多,不过大多数在美国,大多数其他西方国家接受,作为美国流行文化在20世纪后期的一部分万圣节.

因此,尽管有些邪教可能采用为他们最喜爱的“节日万圣节,”这一天本身却没有增加邪恶的作法.它的前身是在庆祝新年凯尔特人仪式,并指出欧洲中世纪的祈祷仪式.今天,甚至很多教会万圣节南瓜雕刻政党或为孩子们的活动.毕竟,这一天本身是邪恶的,只是作为一个关心使然.

Halloween

Halloween is an autumn holiday that Americans celebrate every year. It means "holy evening," and it comes every October 31, the evening before All Saints Day. However, it is not really a church holiday, it is a holiday for children mainly.

Every autumn, when the vegetables are ready to eat, children pick large orange pumpkins. Then they cut faces in the pumpkins and put a burning candle inside. It looks as if there were a person looking out of the pumpkin! These lights are called jack-o-lanterns, which means "Jack of the lantern".

The children also put on strange masks and frightening costumes every Halloween. Some children paint their faces to look like monsters. Then they carry boxes or bags from house to house. Every time they come to a new house, they say,"Trick or treat! Money or eat!" The grown-ups put treat-money or candy in their bags.

Not only children, but most grown-ups also love Halloween and Halloween parties because on this day,they can disguise themselves as personages or ghost as their imaginations will lead them. This bring them the satisfaction of being young.

万圣节前夕

万圣节前夕是美国人年年都会庆祝的秋季节日。它的意思是“神圣的夜晚”，在每年的10月31日，也就是万圣节前夜。但实际上这不是一个真正的宗教节日，而主要是孩子们的节日。

每年秋天蔬菜成熟可以食用的时候，孩子们就会挑出大个儿的橙色南瓜。然后在南瓜上刻上一张脸，把一根点燃的蜡烛放在里面。看起来就好像有人在向南瓜外面张望。这些灯就叫做“iack-o-lantems”，意思也就是“杰克的灯”。

每年万圣节前夕孩子们还戴上奇怪的面具，穿上吓人的服装。有些孩子把脸刷成怪物。然后他们拿着盒子或袋子挨家挨户串门。每来到一个新房子他们就说：“不款待就捣乱!给钱还是吃的!”大人们就会把用来招待的钱或糖放在他们的袋子里了。

不仅孩子，许多成年人也喜欢万圣节前夕和万圣节前夕晚会。因为这一天他们可以根据自己的想象把自己装扮成名流或幽灵。这会带给他们年轻的快感。

“滚滚长江东逝水，浪花淘尽英雄……”一首大气磅礴，气势宏伟的赞歌拉开了三国的序幕。《三国演义》是我百看不厌的一部名著，它不仅让我了解了许多惊险曲折的故事，还让我认识了不少个性鲜明的英雄。

小说《三国演义》，以东汉末年灵武帝中平元年到晋武帝司马炎这一历史时期为背景，讲述了从黄巾之乱开始，到刘关张桃园三结义，再到神机妙算的诸葛亮三分天下，直至三国统一归晋的故事。故事中英雄云集：关云长温酒斩华雄，赵子龙大战长坂坡，张翼德力拒当阳桥，勇马超兴兵复仇，黄汉升力劈夏侯渊……这是何等的意气风发!何等的豪情万丈!几百个人物形象，在罗贯中的笔下，都是那么个性鲜明，栩栩如生。

在《三国演义》的人物中，我最欣赏的要数诸葛亮了。他通天文，知地理，不管别人有什么阴谋诡计都瞒不了他，他还能利用自然环境的变化来完成用兵之计，简直聪明赛神仙啊!当然，在书中机智聪明不止诸葛亮一个，比如吴国的大都督周瑜也是很有计谋的。

可是读完《草船借箭》，我才知道，聪明才智固然重要，但更需要你有一颗宽宏大量的心。由于诸葛亮才华横溢，料事如神，使周瑜非常嫉恨，他把诸葛亮看作是东吴一患，要找个借口害死他。于是周瑜便让诸葛亮在三天之内造出十万支箭，要完不成，就按军法处死诸葛亮。

读到这里，我真替诸葛亮捏了一把汗。但诸葛亮却胸有成竹，凭着他的智慧和机智，在三天之内向曹操“借”了十万多支箭，完成了他的任务，把周瑜气得哑口无言。不过最让我佩服的，并非是诸葛亮凭着神机妙算，“借”来了十万支箭，而是诸葛亮看穿了周瑜想害他，却没有生气。他反而以大局为重，继续与吴国合作，最后才打败了实力强大的曹操，赢得了赤壁之战。试想，如果诸葛亮也心生怨气，与周瑜缠斗，那战役的结果，怕是要改写了呢。

《三国演义》不愧是四大名著之一，蕴藏了许多做人的智慧与道理，值得一读再读。我希望通过自己的勤奋和努力。成为一个能像诸葛亮一样博学多才，聪明能干，又心胸宽广的人。

Last week, our school held an activity to the nursing house to visit the

old people. I was so excited to be a volunteer, because it was my first time to

join such big activity. When we got there, the old people were so happy to see

us. They smiled all the time. We brought them some fruit and presents, and they

were so moved. When we chatted face in face, they talked about the old times and

the happiness they had. I thought about my grandparents, who lived in the

hometown. I should spend more time with them. Being a volunteer is such a

precious experience for me.

Life is a mirror. If we smile to her, she would also return the happiness

to us. But if we cry, she would be disappointed. Therefore, we should be

positive toward life, so as to get happiness.

Actually, happiness is everywhere if we keep a good attitude. As we keep a

good mood, our world will be a sunny land, which is resounded with soft music.

However, if we are pessimists, well find our world is full of darkness.

While on the other side, happiness is not a destination but a

journey.Because theres no paradise at all, but we can make a paradise if were

hard-working and intelligent. So we should work like we dont need money, smile

like weve never been hurt, and perform ourselves like no one can see us.

Today, Chinas economy has made the great achievement. More and more

foreign people come to China to seek for cooperation. It is true that peoples

life standard has been improved a lot during the last decades, but the

environment has been polluted badly. When I was very small, I could see the

green trees and clean water around my hometown, but now, the river becomes

smaller and the rubbish can be seen everywhere. I feel so sad about it. We have

sacrificed so much to chase the profit. If we cant save the environment, we

wont live the comfortable life. For us, we should not throw away the rubbish

and plant more trees. The little things we do will make a great difference.
