这几天一直都是阴雨绵绵，今天是中秋节。早上还下着小雨，到了中午雨停了，久违的太阳慢慢露出了笑脸，晚上可能会看到一年中最大最圆的月亮了!

上午，我和爸爸妈妈一起先去了洛阳的奶奶家。全家围在一起吃着月饼，爷爷是退休的语文老师，就和我比赛背诵关于中秋、月亮的诗句，爷爷吟出的诗句好多我都不会背，爷爷就耐心地为我讲解，满屋都是我们的欢笑声。

下午，我们从奶奶家回到外婆家，推开外婆家的门，感觉是那样的冷清，最疼爱我的外爷去年匆匆离开了我们，泪眼中，外爷那慈祥的面孔，慈爱的笑容就在我的眼前，外爷还穿着那件老式的工作服娃娃，你来了!累不累?饿了吧，快来，这儿有你爱吃的东西先吃点!耳边又回荡起外爷爽朗地笑声和亲切的话语。

往年的中秋节，我们总会和外爷一起坐在明亮的月光下，吃着美味月饼、各种水果，我最喜欢和外爷一起分吃月饼，外爷爱吃五仁月饼，而我爱吃水果味的，我们吃着月饼，外爷会拿起一个最大的石榴，掰成两半，笑呵呵地递给我一半，快吃吧，娃娃，这个石榴可甜了。我吃着甜甜的石榴，一下甜到了心里，我们每一个人的脸上都笑容满面。

如今，家里少了慈祥、勤劳的外爷，显得那样的冷清，我们在外爷的遗像前摆上月饼、水果、点心，照片中的外爷笑得依然那样慈祥，然而，却再也听不到外爷那熟悉的话语。

走出外婆家，才发现今晚的月亮真大真亮，我和爸爸妈妈缓缓走在明亮的月光下，月光柔柔地洒在我们身上，我的心情是那样的沉重，抬头望着明月，外爷是否也在赏月?此时，我似乎在圆圆的月亮上看到了美丽的嫦娥，长裙飘飘，怀抱玉兔，深情地望着大地，嫦娥是不是也在思念着亲人，思念着后羿?

低下头，不知不觉中，我思念的泪水悄悄流了出来。

中秋节是中国一个很重要的节日,在八月十五号.在节日来临的前几天,家庭中的每一个人都帮着打扫房子,把房子装扮得漂漂亮亮的,灯笼挂在屋前.

晚上有一顿美餐,离家在外工作的人也要回来团圆.晚饭后,人们点亮灯笼,一般是红色的圆灯笼.孩子们会高高兴兴地玩他们的玩具灯笼.

吃完晚饭，我来到小区里开始赏月。在月下，树上早已银装素裹，真是“忽如一夜春风来，千树万树梨花开。”恰似下了雪一般。湖上，河里没有一点不闪的耀光，一眼望去简直是“潭面无风镜未磨”，像是一面镜子，也像一面白玉盘。偶尔，水里的鱼也会探出头来呼吸新鲜空气。大地好像被照亮了，与暗蓝色的天空呼应，仿佛进入了童话世界。

我觉得中秋节吃月饼的环节也很重要，因为也许我是吃货吧！在我的印象中，中秋节的月饼甜甜的，很好吃！今天，我拿到了一块月饼，先闻了闻，觉得很香，再捏了捏，觉得很软，接着再舔一舔，淡淡的，最后咬了一大口，觉得很香、很软、很甜，真是让人吃了还想吃！

From the sixteenth of January to the seventh of February is our Winter Holiday. I think everybody did a lot of things in the Winter Holiday. But I didn’t. Let you to listen to my story of Winter Holiday.

I spend a lot of time on the homework.. Every day in my Winter Holiday, I always got up late. then I listened to the tape, it was nine o’clock. then I ate breakfast and then I did my homework during the daytime! I’m not very slow but the homework was too heavy!

I’m unlucky on the playing too. I played firecracker but I hurt my finger with the fire. I ‘m careless to kindle the firecracker, so I’m very unlucky.

I still unlucky on my friend’s party. In the morning, I wanted to get up early but I woke up at 10:50. After ten minutes, the party would start! So I only eat a piece of bread then I go to my friend’s home! And I stay at his home for a long time when I came home. My mother and father were very angry and they scolded me!

I’m worried and feel unlucky on my weigh. Last term, I was 48 kilogram but now I am 51 kilogram! I must to do banting!

But most important, I have gone to Shanghai Ocean Aquarium, I want to go there very much because I want to see the horse, the monkey……in the sea. Now I’ve done it . It is a bright dot in my Winter Holiday.

I think Mid-Autumn Day is an old traditional festival in China。 Everybody

likes it because its a family get-together。 You see it is called"Mid-Autumn

Day"， so it often es in September or October。 It is on the 15th of the 8th of

the lunar month。 Now， lets say something about this interesting festival。

Firstly， Id like to say something about the moon。 I like it very much

because I want to be an astronaut in the future。 That day the moon is round，

big， just like a beautiful plate hanging on the blue cloth。 When I see the moon，

I will remember the ancient myths——the godess Chang Er and her little rabbit are

playing under the tree which Wu Gang grows。 I will also think about Armstrongs

first moonwalk。 I will also miss the friends in Tai-wan island， in Macao and

Chinese people who are abroad。 I know they are missing us very much， too。

Secondly， I11 say something about the tradition on Mid-Autumn Day。

Look!Theres a big tree in a garden of a Chinese fami-ly。 All the family members

are sitting around a big table under the tree in the open air。 They are eating

the mooncakes and admiring the full moon in the sky。 That is a family reunion

dinner。 The mooncakes and the moon represent the love from a family。 I think

this is one of the most valuable things in the world。

Thirdly，it is a very good opportunity to make three wishes on Mid-Autumn

Day。 My wishes are: the first， I， an astronaut in the future， would like to go

to the moon one day， and stay with the sky and stars; the second， I hope every

person in the world will stay with family， share love from the family forever;

the third， I hope everybodys dream will e true。

That is the Mid-Autumn Day in my mind。 I will always re-member: East or

West， home is best。

然而,如今的市场充满真实和假的绿色食品,使许多消费者感到困惑。因此,政府必须加强绿色食品市场的监督管理。此外,消费者应该提高绿色食品的知识。只有这样才能绿色食品在人们的生活中发挥更积极的作用。

Those who live in cities around the world are likely going to have similar

experiences about living and the associated challenges regardless of their

location on the globe. Most of these challenges revolve around stress which

studies have shown is a part of living. Regardless of what you do and your

profession and place stress is not avoidable but could be minimized. Those who

see stress as an enemy will probably live an irritable life which is quite

unnecessary.

How then do we cope with stress? I am going to give you tips that have

helped and are still helping me in coping with life in the city of Lagos

Nigeria, the most populous African city, where orientation of people is quite

different in many ways about stress and living with others.

今天，是八月十五中秋节。此夜，人们仰望天空如玉如盘的朗朗明月，自然会期盼家人团聚，所以，中秋节又称“团圆节”。

早在《周礼》一书中，已有“中秋”一词的记载，后来贵族和文人学士也效仿起来，在中秋时节，对着天上又亮又圆的一轮皓月，观赏祭拜，寄托情怀，一直到了唐代，人们更加重视祭月这种风俗， 中秋节才成为固定节日。

上午，我们一家人高高兴兴的坐在沙发上，一边看电视，一边吃着自己加工的香甜可口的月饼，因为是自己选的材料，所以我们一点儿也不手软，是一下子加了六种馅做成的，有葡萄干、花生、杏 仁……我心想：今天可真幸福!早上吃月饼，中午还能在饭店里大家团圆，晚上还能赏月，太棒了。

中午，到了吃饭的时候，我看着那肥胖的烧鸡，闻着那诱人的香味，不禁流起了口水。姥姥好像看透了我的心思，连忙掰了一个大鸡腿给我，说：“快吃吧，一会儿就凉了。”我接到命令后，立刻 拿起鸡腿，边话也不顾说，就狼吞虎咽地吃了起来，吃着吃着，只听沙沙的声音跑进了我的耳朵，我连忙向窗外望去，发现外面正下着毛毛细雨，我突然大叫：“呀!我想起来了，天气预报说今天一天 都有小雨!这可怎么办呀，晚上难道赏不成月了吗?”爸爸、妈妈笑着说：“没关系，家人团圆才是最重要的!”听到他们的话，我也失望的笑了笑。

我真希望天气预报没有说准，这样，我也就能赏到明媚的月亮了!

曾经，当我还是默默无闻的中等生时，我是多么渴望友谊，因为有了朋友，我就有了倾诉的对象，就会有人与我一同分担，可没有，没有人在意我。我于是便在堕落的边缘徘徊。但那一次，升学考出乎意料的优秀，使我拼了命的向前，因为我要为升学考负责，我要做出一番成绩。于是，便有了如今的我。如今的我，终于实现了当初的愿望，终于有了梦寐以求的朋友，终于不再孤单，也终于找到了曾经陌生的两个字眼，友谊。在经历了风风雨雨，我再回头的某一瞬间，才发现友谊离我的距离是零;朋友，正与我手牵着手……

Once, when I was still unknown to the public of the students, how I longed for friendship, because friends, I have to talk to the object, will have to share, and I can not, no one cares about me. I then in the fall around the edge. But at that time, the entrance exam exceeding ones expectations outstanding, make my life forward, because I want to be responsible for the entrance exam, I want to make a mark. Thus, there is a person I am today. Now of I, finally realized the original desire, finally had a dream of friends, finally no longer alone, finally found the two words have strange, friendship. After a moment of groundless talk, I looked back, only to find friendship from my distance is zero; friends, with my hands......

过去的经历锻炼了我，是我能真正地重视友谊，也害怕着有一天，我退步了，朋友也成了敷衍自己的工具，想到这，我又只能发疯似的往前冲，绝不能让友谊转瞬即逝!没想到，我会为了友谊付出一切，没想到。

The past I exercise, I can really pay attention to friendship, is also afraid that one day, my friend has become worse, with their own tools, come to think of it, I was crazy to go forward, never let the friendship fleeting! Unexpectedly, I will give everything to friendship, did not think of.

一年一度的中秋节又来临了，中秋节是中国古老而传统的节日。

每到这一天来临的时候。天中云雾稀少，月亮显得格外的亮，格外的圆。家家户户欢聚一堂，甜滋滋的赏着月亮吃着月饼，到处弥漫着欢声笑语。

夜空中挂着一轮明月，好似一个大玉盘，多么美的月亮啊！皎洁又明亮。看着看着，我仿佛走近了月亮，看到了美丽的嫦娥，她手里抱着一只雪白雪白的兔子，恐怕就是那只传说中的玉兔吧，有了玉兔的陪伴，嫦娥是否也没有那么寂寞了？回过神来，我吃起了月饼。可不知为什么吃着吃着怎么心中有一丝悲意，似乎在耳边响起了一首歌：明月几时有，把酒问青天。人有悲欢离合，月有阴晴圆缺，此事古难全，但愿人长久，千里共婵娟。这首歌的情怀流入我的心头，一股对亲人的无尽思念从心中不断流出。不知天堂爷爷是否也在吃着月饼？是否也在天空中的某处想念着我们？是否也知道我们对他的思念？此刻，我也想对我所有的亲人们说一句：“我爱你们，中秋快乐！”

月亮很害羞的用面纱盖住了自已的脸蛋，过了很久，才露出自已明亮的脸。我抬起头来望月，勾起了我对月亮的无尽遐想。

细细的品着月饼，看着赏月的家人，一切都那么美好。我爱那圆圆的月亮，更爱我的家人，我爱你中秋！

Never Put Off Until Tomorrow Whst You Can Do Today

We have been told that mever put lff untill tomorrow what you can do today since childhood. However, there are still many people who like putting offthc things thcv should do today until tomorrow. They have no plans for their work and their time. As a result, they will not accomplish their goals in the end.

For cxample, one Sunday I felt so tired after having a football match that I did not finish my homework even at night. I thought I could get up earlier to go to school the next morning so that I could finish my homework before class. But the next morning I was not able to get to school in time because of the traffic jam. I was punished by the teacher.

It taught me a lesson. From then on I made a determination that I would niver put off anything important until the next day. Please remember: Work today, for you dont know how much you may be hindered tomorrow. Seize the present day and trust the tomorrow as little as possible.
