农历五月初五为端午节，又称端阳节、午日节、五月节、艾节、端五、重午、午日、夏节。虽然名称不同，但各地人民过节的习俗是相同的。端午节是我国二千多年的旧习俗，每到这一天，家家户户挂艾叶菖蒲，赛龙舟，吃粽子，饮雄黄酒，游百病，佩香囊。

今天是端午节，大家知道端午节的来历吗?!不知道吧!那就让我来告诉你们吧!你们还记得楚国那位爱国大将屈原吗?我来说一说他吧!

屈原是战国时期出国人，很有学问。他在楚王身边做官，以形象是自己的国家富强起来。昏君楚王却听信奸臣的话，把屈原削职流放。在流放中，屈原听说楚国的都城被敌人占领，百姓遭难，悲愤极了。五月初五这一天，他来到汨罗江边，怀抱一块石头，以纵身跳入汨罗江中。出国的百姓听到屈原投江的消息，都十分悲痛。他们含着泪划着船赶来打捞屈原，还把粽子扔到江里喂鱼，希望鱼儿不要伤害屈原的身体。这就是五月端阳包粽子的来历。

端午节还有许多有趣的活动。列如赛龙舟，挂香囊，香囊内有朱砂、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。还有挂艾叶、菖蒲的习惯。

端午节的活动可真多啊!

妈妈每一年一到冬天都要给我织一件漂漂亮亮的新毛衣，让我过一个温暖的冬天。妈妈每天还要上班，下了班回来还要给我织毛衣。你们说：“这是什么”?是母爱。

在我4岁的时候手臂上长了一个小硬块，妈妈就带我去医院检查，医生说：“要做手术。”妈妈和爸爸经过再三考虑答应了。在手术做完之后妈妈一天一夜的守着我整夜没合眼。你们说：“这是什么?”是母爱。母爱让我想起了一首母爱的诗《游子吟》。所有的点点滴滴，汇聚起来，这就是母爱。

暑假，我们来到了莲花山旅游风景区，参观这个具有两千多年历史的莲花山。它以“人工无意夺天工”的奇景奇观闻名于世。

我想：去莲花山就不能不看望“观海观音”了吧?观海观音观音铜像高达40。88M，是目前箔(bo2)金铜像的世界之最。她慈眉善目，高高在上，俯瞰(kan3)她脚底下的那长长的台阶，把慈爱洒向人间。而我则是仰望着眼前的那长长的台阶，心里想着：这…如果我们拾级而上，那应该可以见到那一片空灵的神明之地了吧?我们绕着观海观音走，它全身都是金色，站在高高的莲花台上，大约有3层楼高，给人高耸如云的感觉。

接着我们来到大钟的旁边排队敲钟。轮到我敲钟的时候，我抱着木头用力向大钟撞去，大铜钟“咚——”地发出震耳欲聋的响声。这时我想：如果一个人钻进大钟里去的话，让我敲一下钟的话，那该多好玩呀?他不用坐在秋千上也能荡秋千一了!

到了半山腰，我看到了数不清的繁茂的大树和花草。再向山下眺望，海、江水、湖等映入眼帘。在这种境界，既使人惊叹，又叫人舒服，既想久立四望，又想坐下低吟一首奇丽的小诗。

莲花山那凉爽的微风，清新的空气，还有那美丽的景色，使我留连忘返!

Since the first supermarket emerged fifty years ago, it has become the most popular shopping center in many large cities around the world. In China, supermarkets enjoy an increasing popularity among city dwellets, especially the common people with low incomes.

Compared with other types of stores, supermarkets are getting popular for several reasons. First, fewer employees are required in supermarkets and management cost is reduced. Second, almost all goods are shipped directly from the producers and sold at considerably cheaper prices. Lastly, in supermarkets,ahnost every kind of daily necessity is available and placed on open shelves, so the customers can choose whatever they want from their shopping list and take the items to the checkout counter easily. As a result, instead of visiting many stores, customers can get the tiring shopping task done quickly and feel relaxed. What is more,many supermarkets stay open very late at night, and provide large parking spaces.

In the last few years, supermarkets have mushroomed in Beijing and many other large cities in China. The conffort, economy and convenience of shopping in supermarkets please Chinese customers very much; and the supermarkets, steadily gaining popularity, are doing booming business in China.

大作家高尔基曾经说过这样一句话：“书是人类进步的阶梯。”“他其实说出了这样一个道理：人类要努力地攀登，攀登书籍的阶梯。而书籍做成的阶梯上面，是一座金碧辉煌的知识宫殿，所以，我们一定要努力地去攀登，去汲取。

人类创造的知识财富，如同浩瀚的海洋，博大精深。人们常把小学、中学、大学阶段的学习形容为在“书山“上攀登，在“学海“中遨游。所以，我们应该多读书，用书来净化心灵，用书中的知识充实自己。

在我们的生活中，如果总是太过于被动地去读书，往往是体会不到读书的乐趣的。捧一纸书香，打开一点温存的光，就那么静静地看着文字随着时间的舞步从你眼前滑过……这时，你就会感觉到，读书是一件多么让人快乐的事情!读书是一种心情，那一抹书香带来的舒坦是最好的心理试剂。去读书吧，你一定会有更多的发现。

多读书，还应读好书。读书要应有个选择性，对书本中的知识也要有选择的采纳，就是所谓取其精华。

I did not have to travel during the holidays at home, but in life, but also a variety of interesting!

在暑假开始时，我制定了一份学习计划。可是还没实行几天我就不按计划实行了。我心想：暑假本应是玩的，我为何要这样一眼一扳呢?

At the start of the summer break, I make a study plan. But not a few days I will not carry out according to the plan. I thought to myself: this summer is play, why do I look down?

每天，上完学习班，我都是玩。后来，听奶奶说，别家的孩子都考上清华大学了。我决定要努力学习。

Every day, after class, I always play. Then, listen to my grandma said, other children are admitted to the Tsinghua University. I decided to study hard.

因此，我每天都会自学六年级的数学。我越来越觉得，学习是一件极为有趣的事情。如果你学会了，你会觉得十分高兴!

Therefore, every day I will learn the sixth grade mathematics. I feel more and more, the study is a very interesting thing. If you learn, you will feel very happy!

每天，我都会有不同的感受。听了爸爸的笑话，我会开心;听了奶奶说各处的悲哀事情，我会伤心……自然也会有不同的收获。

Every day, I will have different feelings. Listen to my fathers joke, I will be happy to listen to my grandma said; all the sad things, I will be sad...... Will naturally have different results.

暑假的时间一天天流失过去，我学的东西也渐渐多了，我的感受也不同了。

The summer time is lost in the past, I learned more and more, I feel different.

盼望下次的暑假会更有趣!

I look forward to our next summer will be more interesting!
