Carrying Faggots to Put Out a Fire

In the last years of the Warring States period, the State of Qin attacked the State of Wei on a large scale repeatedly and occupied large areas of land, for the State of Wei was too weak to defend itself. In 273 B.B., the qin army launched another attack upon the State of Wei with a momentum more vigorous than ever. The king of the State of Wei summoned his officials,and asked with a worried look if anyone could propose a way to defeat the Qin army. After years of chaos caused by the wars,the officials trembled when fighting was mentioned, and no one dared to speak ofresistance. At the critical moment when a large enemy force was bearing down upon the border, most of the offinials persuaded the king to sue for peace, at the cost of giving away to the State of Qin the large area of land north of the Huanghe River and south of the Taihang Mountain. However Su Dai, a counsellor, did not agree. He hurried up to the king and said:"Your Majesty, they dont think about the interests of the country at all.It is just because they are cowardly and afraid of death that they ask you to sue for peace by betraying the country. Of course you can temperarily satisfy the ambition of the king of the State of Qin is insatiably greedy. It will never stop assaulting us until our land is totally given away."Once there was a man whose house was on fire. People told him to put out the fire with water, but he would not listen. Instead, he carried a faggot to put out the fire, only to make the fire fiercer. That was because he didnt know that,instead of putting out the fire, faggots could only make it burning more vigorously. Isnt it equivalent to carrying faggots to put out a fire if you agree to sue for peace at the cost of the land of the State of Wei?"Though Su Dais argument was very convincing, the king accepted the suggestion of those officials and gave away to the State of Qin a large area of the land of the State of Wei. For the king of the State of Wei was cowardly and only cared for peace at the moment.As might be expected,the Qin army assaulted the State of Wei on a large scale in 225 B.C.,surrounding the capital city Daliang and flooding it by digging open the dykes of the Huanghe River.The State of Wei was finally destroyed by the State of Qin.This story appears in the Historical Records Written by Sima Qian.The set phrase"carrying faggots to put out a fire"is used to mean adopting a wrong method to save a situation and ending up by making it worse.

战国末期，秦国向魏国接连发动大规模的进攻，魏国无力抵抗，大片土地都被秦军占领了。到公元前273年，秦国又一次向魏国出兵，势头空前猛烈。

魏王把大臣们召来，愁眉苦脸地问大家有没有使秦国退兵的办法。大臣们由于经过多年的战乱，提起打仗就吓得哆嗦，谁也不敢谈“抵抗”二字。在这大兵压境的危急时刻，多数大臣都劝魏王，用黄河以北和太行山以南的大片土地为代价，向秦王求和。

谋士苏代听了这些话，很不以为然，忙上前对魏王说：“大王，他们是因为自己胆小怕死，才让您去卖国求和，根本不为国家着想。您想，把大片土地割让给秦国虽然暂时满足了秦王的野心，但秦国的欲望是无止境的，只要魏国的土地没割完，秦军就不会停止进攻我们。”

说到这里，苏代讲了一个故事：从前有一个人，他的房子起火了，别人劝他快用水去浇灭大火，但他不听，偏抱起一捆柴草去救火，是因为他不懂得柴草不但不能灭火反而能助长火势的道理。大王若同意拿着魏国土地去求和，不就等于抱着柴草救火吗？”

尽管苏代讲得头头是道，但是胆小的魏王只顾眼前的太平，还是依大臣们的意见把魏国大片土地割让给秦国。到公元225年，果然秦军又向魏国大举进攻，包围了国都大梁，掘开黄河大堤让洪水淹没了大梁城，魏国终于被秦国灭掉了。

故事出自《史记魏世家》。成语“抱薪救火”比喻用错误的方法去消灭祸害，结果反而使祸害扩大。

Every student has his goal of study.Some have a great one but some small.To some degree,a goal determines your success in the future.People who have a great goal can probably acquire a big success in his future,while the people who have a small goal may gain a small one.Meanwhile,the time we set our goals is another important factor.The earlier we have our goals,the more easily we can reach them.Therefore,its of great importance to set a great goal when we are very young.Hower,having a goal doesnt mean we can succeed in no time.We still have a long way to go.The next step we should take is to put our goals into action.Maybe we meet with many difficulties,we mustnt stop or give up.We should keep on going,struggling against all kinds of trouble or problems until our goals are hit!

Fellow students,letgo and hit our goals!

“滴滴答答……”又下雨了，没办法出去玩，叫我有点儿丧气。这些天降神兵，害得到处湿答答，哪儿也不能去。看着毛毛细雨，看着、看着，我就不知不觉睡着了。

在甜美的梦乡里，我是一只小蚂蚁，在草地里寻寻觅觅，突然，滴答！滴答！……的下起了雨，但对我这只小蚂蚁来说，宛如一枚飞行物的“空袭”，我急忙跑到像是大伞的小树苗下。还好马上就雨过天青，我跑出大伞，到一棵大树下，开始建筑我甜蜜的新家。新家在我夜以继日的打造下，虽然我忙得灰头土脸，但眼看新家就要完成，我欣喜若狂。果然，两天后就完成了！但好景不常，天空又下起了滂沱大雨，这一切马上化为泡影，我跪在地上伤心欲绝、哭天抢地。突然，天空露出一道曙光，使得无力的我又充满了希望。我走来走去，走到了大马路上，天空原本晴空万里，怎么顷刻间又变得乌云密布，不到一分钟，马上又下起了倾盆大雨。不一会儿，从地平线那来了一阵大洪水，眼看就要被冲走，我伸出七手八脚想要走抓树枝，还好老天有眼，可怜我这个“无”善不作的小蚂蚁，洪水很快就过了。

我狼狈不堪的爬上岸边，在路上走啊走，走回了家。桌上的饼干真令人垂涎三尺，我马上爬上了桌子，吃了一口饼干，哇！真是让人觉得此生无憾了！啊！我真不应该“乌鸦嘴”，突然一只大手有如如来佛的手以漫天盖地之势压了孙悟空一样。我大叫：“不要啊！”我惊醒了！赫然发现那只是一场荒唐的梦，这个梦让我用小蚂蚁的眼光看世界，也发现了那些天然灾害是令动物们烦恼的根源。天灾何时会发生是无法事前控制的，但我们只要在天灾来临前做好准备，不就可以万无一失了吗？

Dear Mr Pan:

It has been a long time since I wrote the last letter. Nowdays, people write letters less and less, instead, they make a call or send a SMS. However, it is still a good way for us to communicate with each other by sending a letter.

Its my honour to get the chance to write to you. "Approachable" is my first impression of you, because you always keeps smiling. Students may fear the teachers that are serious both in and out of class. Smile makes a teacher popular with his students, you are a teacher of this very kind.

You always arrive at the classroom ahead of any of the students, from which we could imply that you are a diligent man with regular habit. Before the class, you like to talk to us, at this very time, you are more a friend than a teacher. To be honest, I was surprised in the first class when I learned a teacher at your age could speak English in such a fluent way.(I didnt mean you are old, youre young at heart.) Moreover, you know well how to keep your class attractive. Youve got such an active mind that you can keep talking during the whole class without a pause. I always appreciated your ideas and enjoyed listening to you. In your class, I learned not only the writing skills but also the presentation skills as well as much knowledge of other areas. Thanks for your excellent teaching.

Ive got some suggestions for you. It seems that we students have got few chances to participate in discussion during the class time. Most of the time, we are listening. Seldom did we express our own ideas. I suggest that teachers should interact with students more frequently in the class. Besides, Id like to practice writing more, so would you please leave us more assignments?

Happy new year.

With every good wish.

Yours sincerely

The summer vacation had come round again. I was happy that I could forget

about school at least for a while. Lest I fool around all through this summer

vacation, I made a plan as to how to spend it. First, I thought I should go over

all those things my teachers taught in the previous term so that I could have a

better understanding of them. Then I thought I should take up some forms of

exercise, such as walking, running and rowing, to keep me physically strong. It

stood to reason that with such a good plan I should make the best of my vacation

time. I did, because I lived up to what I had planned.

“淅沥淅沥、哗啦哗啦!”雨下个不停。有些人喜欢下雨天，可以玩水、看雨，雨滴好像跳舞的小精灵，给人带来欢乐;有些人不喜欢下雨天，因为一出门就会被淋的落汤鸡，雨滴好像讨厌的捣蛋鬼，让人心烦气躁。窗外又下着雨了，雨就像一位魔法师，能够将大地的尘埃洗净，也能将人类心灵上的疲惫治愈，神通广大，无所不能。

我最爱在下雨天时出门，不是为了玩水，只是为了欣赏那个式个样的人生百态，有的人形色匆匆;有的人露虑之情;有一些情侣甜蜜的牵手再雨中散步;更有人是欢欣的享受与的滋润-----那就是农民，因为他们的心血必将获得丰收。

妈妈说：“有些国家很热，因为一直都没有下雨。”爸爸说：“有些国家很冷，因为太阳很少出来。”我问爸爸说：“你喜欢下雨天吗?”爸爸说：“不喜欢，因为不能出去骑重型摩托车。”我又问妈妈说：“你喜欢下雨天吗?”妈妈说：“不喜欢，因为不能出去逛街。”当然我也不喜欢下雨天，因为都不能出去玩。

记得我还在念幼儿园的时候，有一回妈妈来接我回家，我们走着走着，突然下起了一阵大雨，我和妈妈都被淋湿了，妈妈看着我笑了笑，说他小时候最爱在雨天中玩耍，却也因此被爷爷奶奶打了好几回，看见妈妈脸上的笑容，我想我应该是从那时候爱上“下雨天”了吧!

下雨天虽然带来很多的不方便，但若是一直都不下雨，也会造成河流干沽，植物不能存活，动物也会死亡。所以只要是下雨下的刚刚好，我想有时候我也蛮喜欢下雨天的。

This afternoon, when my father and mother were at home, I finished all the housework at home.

I hit the door said: "Mom and dad you wait a minute, right away, I gently shut the door" mom and dad felt it strange? What do the daughter at home? I quickly put the whole house clean, and hastened to open the door, mom and Dad had said: "my daughter, you really grow up, mom and dad can help reduce the burden." Thats good!

I feel proud that I heard the compliments from my parents. Thanks for the compliments from my parents, I will try my best. Do you help your parents do housework? If you havent helped your parents do housework, remember to do it!

On March 8th, 1975, the United Nation started to celebrate the International Women’s Day. In China, the women’s day also called “March 8th”day. Why we celebrate women’s day? There is a long story.

On March 8th, 1909, the Women’s Union of Chicago demonstrated against the inequality between men and women. They demanded that they should have the same payments, the same working hours as men had, and they should have the rights to vote. They even put forward a slogan: Bread and Rose, which stood for equal payment and a better living standard. This demonstrated had caused international attention to the women’s rights. A year later, a critical meeting was held in Demark, in order to promote the women’s liberation and equal rights, the council members decided to establish the Women’s Day on March 8th. Then March 8th, 1911 just became the first Women’s day.

In our country, during the women’s day, the women usually have a day-off holiday. The communities or companies will organize the recreational activities such as a spring outing, a nice dinner and some extra welfare. On this special day, the women can really realize that a woman’s value is not only giving birth to a child, doing endless housework, but also find her own status in the modern society. That is she can make a different. She can do everything that a man can do. When you look around, you will find that more and more women are acting as scientists, doctors, lawyers, even leaders. Just try to remember, women rule half of this world. The life could quite different without their wisdom and beauty.

Happy International Women’s Day!

Its very important for us to protect the environment. All of us want to live in a better place, so its our duty to beautfy the environment. As a senior high school student, we should do something.

Above all, we should never throw rubbish ourself. We must keep this rule, and then influence the others. Whats more, we should care more about the environment. For instance, we should read newspapers about the globle environment problems and think deep about them. Last but not the least, we ought to promote the importance of protecting the environment. In this way, we can call on more and more people to join us.

Lets take actions as soon as possible! Lets protect the earth, and live a better environment.

Viewing vs.Reading

The pace of reading, clearly,depends entirely upon the reader. He may read

as slowly or as rapidly as he can or wishes to read. If he does not understand

something, he may stop and reread it, or go in search of elucidation before

continuing.

The reader can accelerate his pace when the material is easy or less

than interesting, and slow down when it is difficult or absorbing.

If what he

reads is moving, he can put down the book for a few moments and cope with his

emotions without fear of losing anything.

前两天，下了场急雨，噼里啪啦的，吵的人心直慌。想着，大概是雨神睡过了头，来不及补一场雨，于是就这样胡来了一通吧。

起初，雨声真的是让人耳朵疼，不过，下了一会儿，自然也就习惯了。从窗子向外看，一切都是朦朦胧胧的，雨水也在窗子上，流动的十分顺利。我想着外边，一定正在进行一场洗涤。树枝被打得花枝乱颤，花儿也频频被打压的直不了身子，小草儿乱飞舞，落叶都不像那般飘逸，直直的落在大地面上，路过的人也赶不及回家，直接从上边走过。有的叶子想要讨个说法，竟还赖在人家的鞋底上，跟着人回家了去。

赶着回家的人，比这场秋雨下得还要急切些，都没有注意到其他的花花草草。也是，雨伞挡住了雨点儿正面打击，也同样让人看不见其他的事情。纵然能够看到，大概也只会想着眼前这场大雨了吧。不过，这也是自然的，雨天，除了雨点儿最抢风头，还能有什么呢。

回到家里的人，除了那还带着雨水的雨伞，身上没有湿完，也要湿一些裤管，鞋子什么的。否则，怎么对得起这一场大雨呢。不过啊，雨水一来，房子里就好像温暖了些。人回家的时候，都比平时更加激动些。也是，没有办法忽略的大雨，自然扰了心，叫人不得不在意，说一句，今天外面的雨可真大啊。

于是，就这样，赶着回家的人回家了，在家的人也不对着窗户发呆了。洗澡的洗澡，做饭的做饭，一家人围在一张餐桌上，吃着热腾腾的饭菜，谁都无瑕顾及窗外的雨，渐渐的小了、停了。最后，只剩下了从房檐流下的雨水，从树间落下的水滴，甜甜的花露，还有涨了一截的湖水，湖水里有鱼儿在嬉戏，有水草在舞蹈。

Today， I came to the breakfast。 See the lads with chopsticks busy busy。 So

I took a seat， a young man walked to nete over and ask me to eat something， so I

had a bowl of beef noodles peppers。 Soon， a noodles。 I take chopsticks， soon

finished eating。 On the way to school， I also think that bowl noodles

这天，我去吃早餐。只见店里的伙计们端着碗筷忙来忙去。于是我找了一个位子坐下了，一位年轻的伙计走了过来，问我要吃点什么，于是我点了一碗青椒牛肉面。很快，一碗面就出来了。我拿起筷子很快地吃完了。在去学校的路上，我还想着那碗好吃的面。
