怎么办啊?到底是 让还是不让?我想，身为一个少先队员，如果我不让的话，那又怎么对得起我胸前的红领巾呢?不能再想了，我一定要让。于是，我站起来，说：“爷爷，您来坐吧!”只见爷爷笑了笑，然后慢慢地坐下，并对我说：“真是好孩子!”我听了以后，心里也乐了，因为我做到了。

Cellphones are becoming more and more popular among the middle school students at present.About that,people have different opinions.

目前，手机在中学生中变得越来越普遍。关于这个问题，人们有不同的看法。

Some think it is good for students to bring a cellphone because its more convenient to contact to each other.But othersdo not think so.They think it is bad for students to bring acellphone.Because the students will use mobile phones to play games,sent text messages,watch movies and so on,which will do harm to their study.Andthe teacher and students would be disturbed if cellphone ring during the class time.

有的人认为携带手机对学生有好处，因为这更便于他们相互联系。但是其他人不这么认为。他们认为携带手机对学生有害。因为学生会用手机玩游戏，发短信，看电影等等，这对他们的学习是有害的。而且，如果上课的时候手机响会打扰到老师和同学。

In my opinion,bringing cellphones to school is not a bad thing if we make the best use of it.As we all know,a cellphone is one of the quickest tools for us to exchange information in 21st century.Ifthere’s

an accident,itsmore convenient to dial for help immediately.Whats more,we can use cellphones for relaxing ourselves a little bit when were tired of studies.In my mind,its not wrong to follow the cellphone fashion,but the most important thing is to know how to use them in a right way.

我认为，如果我们合理利用它，带手机到学校并不见得是件坏事。我们都知道，在21世纪手机是我们交流信息最快捷的工具。如果发生事故，手机更方便我们立即拨打电话求助。另外，当我们学习觉得累的时候可以用手机来给稍微放松一下。在我看来，跟随手机时尚并没有错，但是最重要的是懂得正确使用它们。

everyone has a dream. now ill talk about my dream i what is my dream? i

often ask myself. when i was a little boy, i wanted to be a soldier with a gun

so that i could defend our motherland.

now i am a young boy with a new dream——to be a doc-tor. i want to be a

famous doctor, helping the sick and saving their lives. why has my dream

changed? well, at the age of 11 i was ill, badly ill. i was told that i had

cancer. i had to leave both my school and my friends and go to the hospital.

every day i suf-fered the troubles caused by this illness.

i also saw some people who were suffering and dying of ill-nesses. i made

up my mind to become a doctor, so that i can help the sick people and cure them

of their diseases. china is a develop-ing country. she needs good medicine and

good doctors, especially in the countryside and lonely villages.

i want to try my best to help the poor sick people of our country. i want

to let them have an opportunity to receive excel-lent treatments for their

illnesses without having to pay much or any money.

ill do every bit to cure the incurable. i hope to see a world where there

is no cancer, no aids, no fatal diseases. im confident that through the joint

efforts of you and me, man will put an end to his bodily sufferings and this

dream of mine will one day be brought into reality.

I always hear about my friends’ complaining, they say their income is such low that they can’t not make ends meet.

At first, I would pity for them, but in the long run, I find their work is so easy, they just sit in the office from 9 am to 5 pm, they even don’t need to go out for business. While I see another friend, he works so hard, his working hour is very unstable, sometimes he even works until 9 pm.

The fact is that he earns the most between my friends.

It is true that no pain, no gain, if people want more, they need to pay out more. Comparing to be envy about other people’s great income, we’d better to work hard to realize what we want. There is not short-cut for people to get successful, working hard is the only way.

我总是听到朋友们的抱怨，他们说收入太少了，以至于无法收支平衡。刚开始，我会为他们感到遗憾，但是长期下来，我发现他们的工作很轻松，他们在办公室里朝九晚五地坐着，甚至不需要外出跑业务。

然而我看到了另外一个朋友，他很努力工作，工作时间不稳定，有时候甚至于工作到晚上九点。

事实上，他是我朋友之中赚得最多的。没有付出，就没有收获， 确实如此，如果人们想要，需要付出。与其羡慕别人的高收入，不如努力工作来实现我们想要的。成功没有捷径，努力工作是唯一的方法。

Its about one and a half month away from the Chinese New Year, It is a festival celebrated by the Chinese people at the beginning of the lunar calendar year.

As of the Chinese traditional customs, our parents and grandparents will sweep every corner of the house and clean the windows until they gleam, and washing clothes, buying foods and goods for the new years future use and presents.

Children will be the most benefited group during this feast period. One month before that, they are expecting the new clothes, delicious foods. The firecrackers and the years allowance for their increased ages.

In recent years, with the rising of the standard of life, Chinese tend to make various holiday plans to spend a different and meaningful new year. Such as traveling abroad, or be absorbed in their hobbies, and even work.

Why today we try to spend our Chinese new year in such a different way? I think thats because this is a era of free life and personality high-ranking. Though there are still something traditional, our young generation is attempting to make something new and suitable for ourselves. And we would like to take something really worth to be cherished in our memorable treasures. Thats amazing and wonderful!

Nowadays, smart phone has been part of our life. We can see people lowing

down their heads and playing smart phones all the time. When people are walking

on the street, the traffic regulations are no longer their first concern. It is

so dangerous for them to keep their attention on the phone. Dutch officers

figured out a new rule to let people realize the traffic lights. On the ground,

the traffic light can be seen. What a smart idea. When people are watching smart

phones, they can see the lights, too. At the same time, we need to think about

the problem that whether our life is controlled by the technology.

每年农历八月十五日，是我国传统的中秋佳节。这时是一年秋季的中期，所以被称为中秋。这也是我国仅次于春节的第二大传统节日。

在中国的农历里，一年分为四季，每季又分为孟、仲、季三个部分，因而中秋也称仲秋。八月十五的月亮比其它几个月的满月更圆，更明亮，所以又叫做月夕、秋节、仲秋节、八月节、八月会、追月节、玩月节、拜月节、女儿节或团圆节，是流行于全国众多民族中的传统文化节日。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。远在他乡的游子，也借此寄托自己对故乡和亲人的思念之情。所以，中秋又称“团圆节”。

据说此夜月球距地球最近，月亮最大最亮，所以从古至今都有饮宴赏月的习俗;回娘家的媳妇是日必返夫家，以寓圆满、吉庆之意。也有些地方将中秋节定在八月十六，如宁波、台州、舟山，这与方国珍占据温、台、明三州时，为防范元朝官兵和朱元田的袭击而改“正月十四为元宵、八月十六为中秋”有关。此外在香港，过了中秋兴犹未尽，还要在十六夜再狂欢一次，名为“追月”。

“中秋”一词，最早见于《周礼》一书，而真正形成全国性的节日是在唐代。我国人民在古代就有“秋暮夕月”的习俗。夕月，即祭拜月神。到了周代，每逢中秋夜都要举行迎寒和祭月。设大香案，摆上月饼、西瓜、苹果、红枣、李子、葡萄等祭品，其中月饼和西瓜是绝对不能少的。西瓜还要切成莲花状。在月下，将月亮神像放在月亮的那个方向，红烛高燃，全家人依次拜祭月亮，然后由当家主妇切开团圆月饼。切的人预先算好全家共有多少人，在家的，在外地的，都要算在一起，不能切多也不能切少，大小要一样。

在唐代，中秋赏月、玩月颇为盛行。在北宋，八月十五夜，满城人家，不论贫富老小，都要穿上成人的衣服，焚香拜月说出心愿，祈求月亮神的保佑。南宋，民间以月饼相赠，取团圆之意。有些地方还有舞草龙、砌宝塔等活动。明清以来，中秋节的风俗更加盛行，许多地方形成了烧斗香、树中秋、点塔灯、放天灯、走月亮、舞火龙等特殊风俗。

今天，月下游玩的习俗，已远没有旧时盛行。但设宴赏月仍很盛行，人们把酒问月，庆贺美好的生活，或祝远方的亲人健康快乐，和家人“千里共婵娟”。

中秋节的习俗很多，形式也各不相同，但都寄托着人们对生活无限的热爱和对美好生活的向往。

每到端午当日，家家户户的主妇将买回的箬叶(菰叶或芦叶)、糯米等物，浸泡水盆中。苏州人端午节非但要自己吃粽子，还要用它来祭祀祖先。端午粽品种繁多，按它的形状来分，像秤锤的叫秤锤粽，像枕头的叫枕头粽，三角形的叫三角粽，老苏州则把它叫“小脚粽”。箬叶里除糯米以外，人们还常在里面加入其他物品，如肉、豆等等。于是就有了鲜肉粽、火腿粽，赤豆粽、绿豆粽、豆瓣粽、枣子粽、豆沙粽等等。只用粽米包裹而不放馅心的粽子，叫做“白水粽”。过去多用艾草灰汁来煮粽子，称作“灰汤粽”。

端午节苏州一家子人的习俗。一大清早，苏州人将艾草束成人形悬挂在大门边框上或厅堂门前，主妇用菖蒲浸水洗脸洗头发，并给起床的孩子头上戴上虎头帽，贴身穿虎头肚兜，外穿五毒衣，脚上穿虎头鞋。主妇除了包粽子，还要上街买回鱼、鲜肉、茭白等时令蔬菜，中午要烧一桌端午饭菜。

老苏州端午节第一件事是在厅堂中挂一幅钟馗像，并到药店买回雄黄和在黄酒中，配制成雄黄酒。中午开饭前，老苏州将小孩叫来，先用手醮着雄黄酒在小孩额头上写一“王”字，再将部分雄黄酒洒在庭院四周。还有的人家煮燃苍术、白芷等中草药，烟熏室内，并用艾草、菖蒲烧汤沐浴。还有的人家以“五色桃印为门户饰，以止恶气”。最后，一家人围坐一起，共享清凉解毒的端午饭菜，共饮雄黄酒，共祝端午节健康快乐。午饭后，主妇将香包给孩子带在身上，有的在自己手臂上缠上五色丝线，叫做“长寿线”或“长命缕”。全家人一起到书场听上一回书，说的是《白娘子》一折，讲的是白素贞端午节误食雄黄酒惊现蛇形的故事，听说书先生将苏州端午节的风俗娓娓道。

Oceans becoming more acidicThe worlds oceans are slowly getting more acidic, say scientists.The researchers from California say the change is taking place in response to higher levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.The lowering of the waters pH value is not great at the moment but could pose a serious threat to current marine life if it continues, they warn.Ken Caldeira and Michael Wickett, from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, report their concerns in the journal Nature.Increasing use of fossil fuels means more carbon dioxide is going into the air, and most of it will eventually be absorbed by seawater.

Once in the water, it reacts to form carbonic acid.Scientists believe that the oceans have already become slightly more acidic over the last century.But these researchers have tried to predict what will happen in the future by combining what we know about the history of the oceans with computer models of climate change."This level of acidity will get much more extreme in the future if we continue releasing CO2 into the atmosphere," said Dr Caldeira."And we predicted amounts of future acidity that exceed anything we saw over the last several hundred million years, apart from perhaps after rare catastrophic events such as asteroid impacts."If carbon dioxide release continues unabated, ocean pH could be reduced by as much as 0.77 units, the authors warn.It is not absolutely clear what that means for marine life, however.

Most organisms live near the surface, where the greatest pH change would be expected to occur, but deep-ocean lifeforms may be more sensitive to pH changes.Coral reefs and other organisms whose skeletons or shells contain calcium carbonate may be particularly affected, the team speculate. They could find it much more difficult to build these structures in water with a lower pH.In recent years some people have suggested deliberately storing carbon dioxide from power stations in the deep ocean as a way of curbing global warming.But Dr Caldeira said that such a strategy should now be re-considered."Previously, most experts had looked at ocean absorption of carbon dioxide as a good thing - because in releasing CO2 into the atmosphere we warm the planet; and when CO2 is absorbed by the ocean, it reduces the amount of greenhouse warming.
