Now let me say something about Beijing Opera. Beijing Opera is very popular in China. It has a history of more than 200 years. During the reign of the Qianlong emperor in the Qing dynasty, Qianlong had a interest in the local opera. In 1790, to celebrate his eightieth birthday, he summoned opera troupes from different places to perform for him in Beijing. Four famous troupes from Anhui province remained in Beijing after the celebration. In 1828, A Hubei troupe came to Beijing and often performed together with the Anhui troupes. The two types of singing mixed together and gradually a new type came into being known as Beijing Opera. Now is the performance. I hope you will like it.

现在让我说关于京剧。京剧在中国很受欢迎。它已经有200多年的历史。在清朝乾隆年间，乾隆对地方剧有兴趣。1790，为了庆祝他的八十岁生日，他从不同的地方戏曲剧团召唤到北京为他表演。来自安徽省的四个剧团表演完后留在了北京。1828年，一个湖北剧团来到北京，经常与安徽剧团一起演出。两种唱法混合在一起，逐渐成了一种新的类型被称为京剧。现在京剧就要开始了。我希望你会喜欢它。

How excited I was on my first flight.

Some people feel like they are always busy doing something all day long, but they still have a lot of things to do. It seems that the time is never enough. How can we spend our time effectively? Well, in my humble opinion, there are several tips that we can use.

First of all, we should make a list about the things we need to do today. The chef thing to remember is to do the things which are extremely critical first. Second, be concentrated. For the people, they may lack of self-control, they are easily got distracted by other things, thus its important for them to do the things according to the list. Dont do other things unless you have finish your job. Last but not least, wake up earlier in the morning. Youll find you have more time to do the things you want.

In a word, we should have a plan about the things we are going to do. Only in this way we can use time effectively.

有些人感觉他们整天都忙个不停，但是他们还是有好多事情要做。看起来时间永远不够用。我们怎样才能合理的利用时间呢?在我看来，有几点建议可供大家参考。

首先，我们应该为自己今天要做的事情列一张表。最重要的是要记住先做那些紧急的事情。其次，要专心。对于年轻人来说，他们也许缺乏自控能力，很容易被其他事情分神。因此，按照单子做事情非常重要。做不完列表上的事，就不做其他的闲事。最后，早上起得早一点。你会发现你能有更多的时间来做你想做的事。

一句话，我们应该对将要做的事情写个计划。只有这样，我们才能合理的利用时间。

Family Reunion and Feasting

Family feast is an important tradition during Thanksgiving. The entire family sits at the table during dinner and offer prayer to the Lord Almighty for his continuous grace. It is also a time for relatives living in different places to come together and celebrate.

Tradition of Turkey

The traditional stuffed turkey adorns every dinner table during the feast. Pumpkin pie, Cranberry sauce, Corns are some of the dishes cooked everywhere to mark the day. Though historians don’t have an evidence to prove that turkey was eaten during the first Thanksgiving dinner, but the thanksgiving celebration will be incomplete without it.

The main aim of such parades is to lift the spirits of the spectators, provide them with wholesome entertainment. In the present day, parades are accompanied with musical shows and celebrities.

it is sunny on 11th,april,saturday. My parents and I paid a visit to Qingdao by bus. There are many places of interest in Qingdao. we went to the beach, visited the Musuem and May 4th Square.It got its name in memory of the May 4th Movement. it is composed of the Shizhengting Square, the central square and the coastal park. We also had all kinds of delicious seafood. Although were tired,we had a good time. I want to visit Qingdao again.

Our world is originally mountains, vast sea is blue, the vast sky is blue, the earth on which we live there are so many beautiful scenery, let us can not help but to admire the beauty of this world.

In this world there are ten million species of creatures, they get along, together in this live on the earth like a sapphire, tens of millions of years, too, will not change. But there is a kind of biological change the world, it is in this world with his proud technology to kill themselves, it is human. Human beings in this world only live for one million years, but it such as brute kills life on earth! In 2009, the Indian da-hong ruined homes of five million people in one hundred; In 2010, the Haitian earthquake left two hundred and thirty thousand people dead, according to estimates that by the year 2050, there will be two hundred and fifty million ecological refugees, we use our knowledge to kill themselves, as a human, I think its ironic.

The earth is in the vast universe, the only planet to harbor life, originally the earth is green hills and water, a piece is abundant, but todays earth after hurricanes, forest fires and drought in high temperature, is about to collapse, the earth began to shout for us, in the 2010 years, the earth has used its roar to kill two hundred and thirty-six thousand people, the earths voice we should hear, or the end of the world will come in advance.

Close to one end of the alarm, have "lungs of the earths forest gradually reduce, the earth began to collapse, there is only one earth, and this one belongs to you, rather than a human, the earth is our refuge, we should find a balance point and the earth coexistence, reduce the anger of the earth, let the human is no longer increase driver disaster, let us have a better living environment, but also for generations to leave some more living space.

我们的世界本来是青山绿水，汪洋的大海是湛蓝的，广阔的天空是蔚蓝的，我们居住的地球有太多美景，让我们不禁要赞叹这世界的美丽。

在这个世界上有千千万万种的生物，它们相处融洽，一起在这如蓝宝石般的地球上生存，过了几千万年也是一样，不会改变。但是有一种生物的出现改变了整个世界，它在这个世界用自己引以为傲的科技杀死自己，它就是人类。人类在这个世界上只生存了百万年，但是它却如猛兽般的杀死地球上的生物!在二零零九年时，印度百年大洪水毁了五百万人的家园;二零一零年，海地大地震让二十三万人死亡，根据估计，到了二零五零年，将会有二亿五千万名的生态难民，我们用我们的知识杀死自己，身为一个人类，我觉得很讽刺。

地球是在浩瀚宇宙之中，唯一能孕育生命的星球，本来的地球是青山绿水，一片盎然，但是现今的地球经过飓风、森林大火和高温干旱等严酷的考验，已经快要崩毁，地球开始对我们怒吼，在二零一零年时，地球已经用它的怒吼害死了二十三万六千人，地球的心声我们应该要听见，否则世界末日将提前来临。

末日的警钟一分一秒的接近，有“地球之肺”的森林逐渐的减少，地球开始崩毁，地球只有一个，而且这一个属于大家，而不是人类的，地球是我们的庇护所，我们应该找到一个和地球共存的平衡点，减少地球的怒气，让人类不再是加重灾难来临的推手，让我们有更好的生活环境，同时也替后代子孙多留一些生存空间。

I value friendship In complex life, there are two points to keep in mind: to eat for survival, and soul need friendship. Friendship is like colorful candy, always is permeated with in the heart. Friend can encourage you to overcome difficulties, and can bring light to your life. Sometimes, you have to be with your friends, say thank you, thank you for they have been in the accompany you. There are some people who abandoned his friend for money and power. So completely wrong! You should know: money and power to a temporary, and the true friendship is a lifetime. I hope this sentence, become everyones creed! For me, no friends, no everything to me! Once upon a time, I have a very injury is rare. Friends in my side support me, give me compassion, encourage and true love, I slowly happy. That makes me realize, how much I happiness and luck! Without a friend, in my opinion, the one who is, wont be happy, not in adversity does not recognize friends. I will always cherish it from the bottom and the friends friendship.

我珍视的友谊在复杂的生命中, 有两点要牢记:为生存需要吃饭, 而心灵需要友谊。友谊像七彩糖果，总是洋溢在人心。 朋友能鼓励你战胜困难，而且能给你的生活带来光明。有时，你必须要对你的朋友们，说句谢谢,感谢他们一直在那陪伴着你。 有一些人为了金钱和权力而抛弃自己的朋友。那样完全错了!你应当知道：金钱和权力至暂时的，而真正的友谊是一辈子的。我希望这句话，成为每一个人的信条!对于我而言，没有朋友，就没有我的一切! 曾几何时，我很有一段很受伤的很少见。朋友们在我的身边支持我，传递给我同情，鼓励和真爱，我渐渐的高兴起来。那些使我意识到，我是多么的幸福和幸运! 在我看来，没有朋友的人不会幸福，不处逆境不能识别朋友。我会从心底一直珍惜和朋友的友谊。

My Traveling in Beijing

A few years ago, I went to Beijing. I really had a great time there.

The first time I went to Beijing, I was very confused. Beijing was very

big. It was so big that I couldn’t find the right directions. And the traffic

was always so busy.

During my staying in Beijing, I visited so many places of interest, such as

the Great Wall, Tiananmen Square, the Summer Palace, the Forbidden City, and so

on. I also went to Wangfujing shopping mall. But things were very expensive. So

I just did the window shopping.

What’s more, the most exciting thing for me was taking the underground.

Although it was crowded, I still felt excited. Because I could follow the steps

of the modern city.

My fiat is made up of eight rooms:one hall,one bathroom,one kitchen,one dining room,one living room, two bedrooms and one toilet.The hall faces the front door. When you come into my flat,you will first see the hall.The bathroom is on the right,and the toilet is on the left.In front of you,there are two doors.The left one leads to one of the bedrooms,and the right one leads to the living room.When you come into the living room, you will see two doors again.The left one leads to another bedroom,and the right one to the kitchen.The kitchen goes straight to the dining room.Besides,there is also a balcony next to the living room and one of the bedrooms.

All members of the family try to be present at the meal. On the first day of the new year, people go to visit their relatives and friends. As a rule, children are given some money to buy things they like.

People often have a good time during the Festival.

decision that to return to his motherland and started a company. However, his

wife and daughter had got used to the American way of life, so they still stay

in the United States. But they still can meet frequently, because of the

convenient transportation, and his wife and daughter often visit him in

holidays.

In addition to tension, enrich the study life, I also have a relaxed, enjoyable holiday. The rich content, enriched my life, as well as childish students career added a few minutes of fun and carefree.

At ones go for a walk after dinner is my daily required course. Stroll near the village of flowers and plants, breathing the fresh air, and the bird companion, to enjoy a rich rose, lily of the noble and pure, strange flowers, dinner and beautiful magnolia, cannas brilliant, I will gently said to myself: "life is beautiful." I use the sincere feeling around colorful, with enthusiasm to appreciate the very beautiful flowers around us. I spontaneously from the heart: "I, belong to nature!"

More to the book, I will plunge into the ocean, breathing the smell of the fragrance of bookstores, libraries specific, experience the fun of walking books.

My summer vacation life, is a poem, a green leaf, a song...

除了紧张、充实的学习生活外，我还拥有轻松、愉快的假期生活。那丰富多采的内容，充实了我的人生，也为童稚的学生生涯增添了几分乐趣与悠然。

茶余饭后去散步是我每天的必修课。漫步在小区的花草旁，呼吸着清香的空气，与花鸟作伴，欣赏着玫瑰的浓郁，百合的高洁，晚饭花的奇特，还有玉兰的娇美，美人蕉的绚丽,我会轻轻地对自己说：“生活真是美的。”我用真诚感受身边的五颜六色，用热情欣赏周围的姹紫嫣红。我不由自主地从内心发出：“我，属于大自然!”

更多地，我会一头扎进书的海洋，呼吸着书店、图书馆特有的那种书香的气味，感受漫步书海的乐趣。钻进历史的海洋，我会为秦始皇焚书坑儒的举动而激愤，为霸王别姬的悲惨而落泪，为诸葛亮“出师未捷身先死”扼腕叹息;漫步文学的殿堂，我渐渐体会到宝钗的无奈、黛玉的才华，体会到玛丽的倔强、科林的孱弱，体会到余秋雨的“晨雨初听”、钱钟书的“围城”……

我的暑假生活，是一首诗，一片绿叶，一支歌……

Soon, the woman realized what happened and replied,"ok, I will give it to you". The driver noticed the thief. He drived the bus to the police station. At last, the thief was under control. Later, the woman sent a letter to our school to express her thanks to Li Hua.

Cell phones have become increasingly popular in china these days. wherever

you go you can see people using cell phones. many college students, even high

school students, have cell phones.

Cell phones have brought people a lot of benefits, but the most important

is that they are convenient. with cell phones in their hands, they can keep in

touch with anybody they want. if they want to get some information from the

internet, they can easily have their dream realized via cell phones too.

furthermore, if someone has a heart attack or a traffic accident, a call to

emergency hospital or to the police can quickly bring him the help he wants.

However, cell phones can also bring people problems. the most serious is

the electric wave radiation which is thought to be harmful to users brains.

another problem is that when people are having a meeting or having a class or at

a concert etc, the ring of the cell phone may interrupt others. so i think

people should use cellphones as little as possible and turn them off when they

are attending important meetings or attending classes.

Waking up on New Year, everybody dresses up. First they extend greetings to

their parents. Then each child will get money as a New Year gift, wrapped up in

red paper. People in northern China will eat jiaozi, or dumplings, for

breakfast, as they think "jiaozi" in sound means "bidding farewell to the old

and ushering in the new". Also, the shape of the dumpling is like gold ingot

from ancient China. So people eat them and wish for money and treasure.

Southern Chinese eat niangao (New Year cake made of glutinous rice flour)

on this occasion, because as a homophone, niangao means "higher and higher, one

year after another." The first five days after the Spring Festival are a good

time for relatives, friends, and classmates as well as colleagues to exchange

greetings, gifts and chat leisurely.

China has 56 ethnic groups. Minorities celebrate their Spring Festival

almost the same day as the Han people, and they have different customs.

中国也有一处景被中外游客称为:“中国威尼斯”,这就是江苏水乡——周庄.夏日的一天,

水乡周庄,很是漂亮的一个地...今天是我暑假里，我和爸爸妈妈来到了位于昆明市西南，四周环水的水乡??周庄。周庄原名贞丰里，已有九百多年的历史了，是典型的江南古镇，有着独特的古朴民风。“水”当然是这里的一大特色。碧水环绕着整个周庄，“井”字形的河道从古镇中穿过，把古镇分割成了一块块“格子花”，河道又把古镇与邻近的湖水连接了起来，给人们一种“巷在水中，镇在湖中”的感觉。微风吹拂着，那些岸上的石桥、房屋、绿树和蓝天在灵动的流水中映出了一个个飘动的倒影。

有水必有桥，“桥”是周庄又一特色。仅宋、元、明、清几代建的桥就有十几余座。这些造型各异、千姿百态、纵横交错的石拱桥跨越在河的两岸。走在狭窄的小道上，沿着的尽是一座座粉墙黛瓦的江南古宅，古朴典雅。在这些古色古香的住宅中，周庄的“厅”更是名不虚传。有张厅、沈厅……一些具有代表性的厅。

周庄的水、桥构成了“小桥、流水、人家”的美丽的画卷，真乃是人间仙境。难怪岛过周庄的外国人个个称周庄是“东方的威尼斯!”有位画家曾说过：“黄山集中国名山之美，周庄集中国水乡之美。”的确，周庄是一种古朴厚实的美，周庄的美是一种“返璞归真”的美。

悠远的历史，给古镇造就了诸多胜景。著名建筑学家罗哲文盛赞周庄“不但是江苏省的一个宝，而且是国家的一个宝”。周庄之美，首先在水，两横两纵的河流在此形成。
