春节是我国传统节日之一。在年30这天，小朋友们要给长辈拜年，拿红包；人们要和亲人团聚，吃年夜饭；更要在家，一边看“春节联欢晚会”，一边守岁；等到凌晨12点，家外，窗边，楼下，鞭炮声震耳欲聋，人们放着鞭炮，完全沉醉在春节这欢乐的节日中。

我是在婆婆家过的春节。晚上，我照旧在看“春节联欢晚会”，当离12点越来越近时，主持人进行倒计时“10，9，8……3，2，1。”随着数字的接近，声音越来越缓慢，一直延续着，直到12点。当倒计时数完时，我们家热闹起来了了！妈妈高兴的喊道：“过年啦！过年啦！你又长大了一岁。”接着，我们一家下楼放烟火。前几天，舅舅买了许多鞭炮。有地陀螺，有小蜜蜂，有夜明珠，有天地响，还有许多叫不上名字的。鞭炮的样子也有许多。花脸，蝴蝶……有的天地响20发，有的天地响50发，还有的天地响100发。在这么多的鞭炮中，最引人注目的要数一种天地响。它的个头同一个小桌子差不多。能供四五个人吃饭。它的重量也很重，需要两三个成年人才能搬动。等了好久，终于把其他鞭炮放完了。当头好戏开始了！“嘭！啪！嘭！啪！嘭！啪！……”这声音惊天动地，好似雷公公发怒的巨响。

我虽然捂住了耳朵，当声音实在是太大，还是能听见。到了最后几发，“嘭！嘭！嘭！啪！哗哗哗哗哗！！”炸开的烟花如火焰一般向四周散去，那情景非常壮观！回到家，我的心仍然久久不能平静。谁来清理呢？当然是清洁工叔叔阿姨了。他们为了让南京更加美丽，不惜牺牲过年的时间，认认真真、仔仔细细、一丝不苟、无私奉献地打扫。还有，现在正值班的警察叔叔阿姨们，他们为了让市民们安全的过个年，在南京市的每一个角落，兢兢业业地巡逻着，想到这里，我进入了美丽的梦乡……

will die. We can use water for flowers, swimming, washing and many different

things. We use it to cook, make electricity, put out fires and so on. We use

millions of liters of water every day.

Do you know how does the water come to your home? It travels through water

pipes. Some are long and wide but some are short and narrow. Then the water

travels through the water pipes to the reservoirs. Then it travels through the

water pipes to the river and to the special factories (we call water plants)

that purify the water. When the water is purified, we can drink it. Please don’t

leave garbage in the water on which we line, and keep the water clean.
