High school is regarded as the best time in a persons life. As a senior three student, it wont take long before I graduate. Now, I have much to share with my fellow students.

Firstly, I would like to show my appreciation to those standing by me all the way, teachers, pare nts and friends included. Without their help and advice, my life would be different. Secondly, its high time to say sorry to classmates whom I hurt or misunderstood. Communication and smiles act as bridges to friendship. Above all, Ive made up my mind to make every effo rt to study, for I believe hard work is the key to success. Just as the old saying goes, "no pains, no gains."

Finally I hope that all the younger fellows can make full use of time, because time and tide wait for no men.

Everyone has a family. We live in it and feel very warm. There are three persons in my family, my mother, father and I. We live together very happily and there are many interesting stories about my family.

My father is a hard-working man. He works as a doctor. He always tries his best to help every, patient and make patients comfortable. But sonetimes he works so hard that he can’t remember the date.

My mother is a woman with a bad memory. She always does a lot of housework, but sometimes she makes mistakes out of carelessness. For example, one day, she washed clothes in the washer, after the washer finished the work, she found she hadn’t filled the washer with water.

Now let me tell you a funny thing: one day, father wanted to get up early as usual, buthe wasn’t able to do that, because he hadn’t set the alarm clock the night before, so when he got up, he did everything in a hurry. After father left, mother said to me mysteriously, "He will come back soon." "Why?" I was greatly surprised. "Because today is Sunday, his holiday!" Just as mother said, father came back home soon, and went to bed again--he was too tired.

You see, what an interesting family have! I hope that you will have one like mine, too.

我有许多好朋友，今天我给大家介绍一下我的同学——牛梓萌。

上学的第一天，我很胆小、不敢大声说话。她轻声细语的问我你叫啥?几岁了?放学了，我很害怕、也很紧张、还有点儿想妈妈。我希望妈妈能出现在我面前带我回家。这时，她拉着我的手，满眼闪着期待和温柔的光芒对我说：“我们一起去找午托班老师吧?”我心里一下子喜欢上了她，有了依靠，我轻松了很多，也不害怕了。我连忙紧紧拉着她的手，大声地说：“好!”从此我们成了好朋友。我们一起上学，一起跳舞，一起回午托班。我叫她牛牛。

中午的时候，是我们最开心的时候。因为牛牛最喜欢编故事给我们听。我们没少因为中午睡觉时说话被老师训。每次被训牛牛总是一吐舌头，一笑而过。我都会哭，看我哭了她有连忙来安慰我。她就是这么开朗又善良。牛牛个子很高和我一起玩儿的时候，她总让这我点儿。有的时候她还像个大姐姐似的把我抱起来转上2圈。我配眼镜了，她又吃惊又关心的抱着我说：“刘雨灵，你戴眼镜了?你怎么戴眼镜了?”然后，她跑到远远的台阶上，站在上面伸出手指问我：“这是几?你能看清吗?”

这个学期她当上了班长，有一次，大队部来我们班检查卫生。老师不在，牛牛两只手捧着脸，细声细气的对大队委说：“我们班很干净，别扣我们班分!”大家都被她装出来的可爱模样逗笑了。大队委也笑着走了。

这就是我的好朋友，一个满脑子充满幻想、又善良、又负责、又活泼、又可爱的小姑娘。

我有一个小伙伴，叫珊珊。她身材高挑，梳着一个马尾辫，一看就知道她热爱运动。珊珊不光爱运动，还乐观、爱帮助人。

我与珊珊是邻居，从小我俩就一起玩，还上同一个幼儿园。虽然我是男生，还比她大4个月，但是，在大运动方面，我始终处于弱势。学滑板、轮滑，我没她学得快，爬高上梯也没她利索。

尽管如此，我俩在一起玩，几乎没有发生过冲突，有的时候她还帮助我。

有一次，我与珊珊在楼下小操场滑滑板，由于我刚开始练，动作显得有些不协调，还平均每10秒就摔一跤，遭到了同院的一位以捣乱为己任的同龄人的嘲笑：“你还没有一个女生滑得好，真丢人!”我顿觉尴尬。这时听到珊珊说，他才刚学没几天，而我早就学会了，他当然没我滑得好了。以后几天，珊珊都带着我练滑板，使得我的滑板技术有很大进步。

姗姗最大的优点是乐观。有一次，我俩分享一大包美味的薯片，由于天气太热，袋子像气球一样鼓，她用力一斯，大多数薯片都蹦了出来飞快地掉到了地上。我非常惋惜，姗姗也很遗憾，但她却说：“还好没全掉地上，这些也够我们吃的了。”她又半开玩笑地说：“附近的蚂蚁有福了，能开N顿大餐了。”

一年半前，由于老妈到杭州工作，珊珊也搬到杭州上学了。虽然不能像从前那样每天一起坐班车上下学，但是我依然清楚地记得我们在一起玩的情景。半年前，她随爸妈回京办事，我们抓紧时间在一起吃了一顿饭，还玩了几个小时。虽然一年没在一块玩儿，但我俩一点陌生感也没有，配合很默契。她真是我的好小伙伴。

放学后，我和赵祖佑、曾诚约了去打枪战。我们三个一队，我们的对手是赵祖佑爸爸。赵祖佑说他爸爸很厉害，把他打成落汤鸡过。他最擅长的一点是隐藏突袭。

我们先在篮球场那边的草地里打了一会。然后我自己一个人跑到一片大树林里去。我摘了一朵花举在头上，躲在一片花丛下。等赵祖佑爸爸过来的时候，我举着花慢 慢移动，然后突然攻击。赵祖佑和曾诚也听到了我的枪声，都跑过来一起攻击。赵祖佑爸爸投降了。

我们闭上眼数30秒，让赵祖佑爸爸跑开，开始打第二局。赵祖佑爸爸在枪上绑了几朵花和叶子，躲在灌木丛里。曾诚的眼睛最灵，他一下就看出来了。然后我们一 起攻击赵祖佑爸爸。很快，我们发现所有人都没有子弹了，包括赵祖佑爸爸。我们几个跑回妈妈那边去拿子弹，赵祖佑爸爸直接从他背的包里拿子弹出来加。回到树 林的时候，我们发现赵祖佑爸爸不见了。曾诚四处看了看，发现他躲在篱笆后面。然后我从左边去追赵祖佑爸爸，结果他把我打了回来。接着赵祖佑从右边去追，赵 祖佑爸爸逃的时候我从左边夹击。赵祖佑爸爸往树林里继续跑。他跑我们追，我们越跑越远。赵祖佑爸爸窜到一片像扫帚一样的叶子中间，迅速跑了出去。赵祖佑从 横面出击，我跟踪追击。赵祖佑爸爸跑到一个台子上攻击我们。我跑到上台阶那里，被赵祖佑爸爸打回一半。赵祖佑从台子下面攻击，把赵祖佑爸爸打退了几步，我 立即从台阶冲上去，赵祖佑直接从花盆上爬上去了。追着追着，赵祖佑爸爸又上了一个高大的台子，站在一个圆桌上攻击我们。然后我们又发现我们没子弹了。等我 们加好子弹回到台子这里，赵祖佑爸爸又不见踪影了。我站在大台子上寻找，曾诚站在另一个大台子上找，赵祖佑蹲在我这边的台子下随时准备攻击。我和曾诚看了 又看，一点发现都没有。我们往前走了几步，曾诚回头一看，结果赵祖佑爸爸正好向我们冲过来。幸好我们敏捷，没有被他打到，我们开始反击。最后我们打赢了。 赵祖佑爸爸告诉我们我们冲上台子的时候，他往下冲，整个绕了一圈到我们这里来。

我觉得我们今天的枪战打得很漂亮。

To tell you the truth，I don t like the Spring Festival at all.

When I was young I liked it very much，because I could had something tasty to eat during the Spring Festival，and I could enjoy very wonderful TV programmes，too，I also could had much free time during which I could did something I liked to do.

I don t like it now， there are many reasons.

Firstly，I can t have a good time during the Festival.

Every New Year s Eve something unpleasant often happens.

Once I quarreled with my second brother.

Secondly，I can t relax myself during the Festival.

I have to do many things，watch so many TV programmes， meet so many people，all these things make me very tired.

Thirdly，spending one Spring Festival means that I become one year older，I don t like to be old.

I want to live longer and be young all the time.

Readers， what is your opinions about the Spring Festival?Please tell us，we can share our opinions.

Thanks for reading! Goodbye.

Barack Obama is the first president of black people, whose story inspires

so many young people to chase their dreams. As the saying that every successful

man has a woman to support him, and this woman for Obama is his wife Michelle.

As the first lady, Michelle helped Obama so much. During the campaign, she gave

inspiring speeches and people knew what they should voted for. Michelle was born

in a poor family, but her mother paid special attention to education. Michelle

excellent lawyer and the job experience made her a good orator. Michelle set

good examples for the women. She showed that woman’s power was great, and they

The Great Wall of China is called the "Ten thousand Ii Great Wall" in Chinese. In fact, it s more than 6 000 kilometres long. It winds its way from west to east, across deserts, over mountains, through valleys till at last it reaches the sea. It is one of the wonders of the world.

中国的长城被称为“一万号长城”在中国。事实上，这是超过6的000公里长的。它自西向东蜿蜒，穿过沙漠，越过高山，穿过峡谷，最后到达海洋。它是世界上的奇迹之一。

The Great Wall has a history of over twenty centuries. The first part of it was built during the Spring and Autumn Period. During the Warring States Period, more walls were put up to defend the borders of the different kingdoms. It was during the Qin Dynasty that the kingdom of Qin united the dif ferent parts into one empire. To keep the enemy out of his empire, Emperor Qin Shi Huang had all the walls joined up. Thus, the Great Wall came into being.

长城已有二十多年的历史。它的第一部分是建立在春秋时期。战国时期，提出保卫不同王国的边界被更多的墙。这是秦王朝的秦统一为一个帝国的不同部分中的王国。为了不让敌人进入自己的帝国，秦始皇把所有的城墙连接起来。因此，长城就形成了。

The Great Wall is wide enough at the top for five horses or ten men to walk side by side. Along the wall are watchtowers, where soldiers used to keep watch. Fires were lit on the the towers as a warning when the enemy came.

长城是足够宽，顶部五匹马或十个人并排而行。沿城墙有了望塔，过去常有士兵驻守。大火照亮在塔上作为一个警告当敌人来了。

It was very difficult to build such a wall in the ancient days without any modern machines. All the work was done by hand. Thousands of men died and were buried under the wall they built. The Great Wall was made not only of stone and earth, but of the flesh and blood of millions of men.

它是建立在这样一个壁无任何现代机器很难。所有工作都是用手完成。成千上万的人死了，被埋在自己修建的城墙下面。长城不仅是用石头和土，但对几百万人的血和肉。

Today the Great Wall has become a place of interest not only to the Chinese but to people from all over the world. Many of them have come to know the famous Chinese saying: "He who does not reach the Great Wall is not a true man."

今天，长城已成为地方利益不仅对中国而且对来自全世界各地的人。许多人都已知道这句中国名言：“不到长城非好汉。”

With the growing awareness of healthy eating， more and more people now are

paying more attention to the importance of healthy diet and an active life。 But

at the same time， a growing unrest over food safety in the China has caught

everyone’s concern。

When it es to the food safety incidents， especially 2008 Chinese milk

scandal， every consumer has much anger to pour upon them。 In September 2008， a

fresh outbreak of kidney disease occurred， due to baby formula contaminated by

melamine.Three babies died and over 6，000 were made sick by the tainted formula。

The supplier of the milk， Sanlu Group， is a name brand and is a major player in

the industry in China。 The pany is said to have known of the problem for months，

but claims the contaminant came from milk suppliers.

Who should be main responsible for these serious incidents like milk

scandal? On one hand， plex China’s food regulations should shoulder part

duties.We should realized its monitoring system can be unresponsive， and the

government departments that oversee and enforce policies have overlapping and

often ambiguous duties。 On the other， food producers and suppliers lack deserved

responsibility for consumers! What they cares is only their own interest and

profit maximization.

In my opinion ，everyone involved in it should set up a high responsibility

for others， law related should be passed and carried out.Only in this way can we

e by a healthy eating and a harmonious world.

Travel is a good way to refresh and broaden our horizon.

旅行是消除疲劳开阔眼界的好方式。

During your travel, you can turn off your cellphone and keep far from the Internet. You can forget your work, your study or your family, and just enjoy the leisure time.

在旅行中，你可以关掉手机，远离网络，可以忘记你的工作、学习或家庭，只需静静地享受旅行的闲暇。

From the moment when you start your journey, all the trifles should be locked at your house.

从踏上旅程的那一刻起，所有的琐事都应该被紧锁在家里。

During the travel, you can kill your time slowly to have a good rest, and you can contact with different people. They may be a window for you to know a different world.

旅行的时刻，你可以慢慢打发时间，好好休息，也可以和不同的人打交道，这些人可能是你开启另一个世界的窗口。

Meet various people, experience things, which make your world bigger.

遇见不同的人，经历不同的事，这都可以使你的世界更宽广。

You just clean up your entire mind and you can get the true meaning of travel.

你只要清空思绪，就可得到旅行的真正意义。

Each year, people burn or cut down 143,000 square kilometers (55,000 square

miles) of the forest. People who burn or cut down trees do it for different

reasons: farmers cut down trees in order to get more fertilize lands to grow

rice or vegetables, and use the woods as fuel. Timber companies cut down trees

and turn them into furniture or paper productions. As to goal miners, they

remove the forests to find out whether there are goal underground.

However, many of us fail to realize that forests are the lungs of the

earth. When we cut down trees, we also push ourselves in to a dangerous

situation. That is the global warming. When you come to think about it, there

are only few ways to solve these negative effects: stop cutting down trees

blindly; try to find some clear energy that can replace oil and coal. But these

solutions can be impractical to some degreed.

Why trees can be so important to the whole nature? First of all, trees are

the habitat of many animals. When we cut down trees, we not only destroy

animals’ habitats but also ourselves. We just gradually destroy natural links.

The result is that many spices of animals and plants are dying out. Secondly,

cutting down trees cause global warming, to some degree. Naturalists compare

forest to human’s lungs. The forests absorb the carbon dioxide and other gas

that cause global warming, and then give off the oxygen that good for the human

beings and other living creatures. It’s refreshed the air as well as reduced the

noise. If the air quality is bad, people may die from cancers, or the new

diseases for which they have no immunity. Forests also play an important role in

the prevention of natural disasters. Warmer temperatures cause water to expand

and also create more water by melting polar ice caps. That’s to say, the nations

which near the ocean may have been flooded by the water. But the forests can

prevent water loss and soil erosion, and cool off the global temperatures. It’s

the key to keep the balance of the nature.

Sometimes people only care about money making; they don’t care about the

price we pay for the pollution. When the disaster is around the corner, we may

be afraid and frustrated. The earth, on which our economies have always been

based, is suddenly threatening our existence. All we hope that is this

overpopulated, over industrialized planet can carry on for a longer time. And

maybe, it’s time for us to realize that we should protect the earth, stop

cutting down trees blindly and madly.

In addition to tension, enrich the study life, I also have a relaxed, enjoyable holiday. The rich content, enriched my life, as well as childish students career added a few minutes of fun and carefree.

At ones go for a walk after dinner is my daily required course. Stroll near the village of flowers and plants, breathing the fresh air, and the bird companion, to enjoy a rich rose, lily of the noble and pure, strange flowers, dinner and beautiful magnolia, cannas brilliant, I will gently said to myself: "life is beautiful." I use the sincere feeling around colorful, with enthusiasm to appreciate the very beautiful flowers around us. I spontaneously from the heart: "I, belong to nature!"

More to the book, I will plunge into the ocean, breathing the smell of the fragrance of bookstores, libraries specific, experience the fun of walking books. Into the ocean of history, qin shi huang burying Confucian behavior and anger, would I be for farewell my sad tears, for the various ge is bright "teacher heel dead" untimely. Stroll the palace of literature, I gradually realize the treasure chai helpless, dai jade talent, experience of Marys stubbornness, colin weak, experience of the early morning rain listen "yu, qian zhongshus" fortress besieged "...

My summer vacation life, is a poem, a green leaf, a song...

除了紧张、充实的学习生活外，我还拥有轻松、愉快的假期生活。那丰富多采的内容，充实了我的人生，也为童稚的学生生涯增添了几分乐趣与悠然。

茶余饭后去散步是我每天的必修课。漫步在小区的花草旁，呼吸着清香的空气，与花鸟作伴，欣赏着玫瑰的浓郁，百合的高洁，晚饭花的奇特，还有玉兰的娇美，美人蕉的绚丽,我会轻轻地对自己说：“生活真是美的。”我用真诚感受身边的五颜六色，用热情欣赏周围的姹紫嫣红。我不由自主地从内心发出：“我，属于大自然!”

更多地，我会一头扎进书的海洋，呼吸着书店、图书馆特有的那种书香的气味，感受漫步书海的乐趣。钻进历史的海洋，我会为秦始皇焚书坑儒的举动而激愤，为霸王别姬的悲惨而落泪，为诸葛亮“出师未捷身先死”扼腕叹息;漫步文学的殿堂，我渐渐体会到宝钗的无奈、黛玉的才华，体会到玛丽的倔强、科林的孱弱，体会到余秋雨的“晨雨初听”、钱钟书的“围城”……

我的暑假生活，是一首诗，一片绿叶，一支歌……

What’s the purpose of life ? What are we seeking for in our short lives ? For privilege,for money ,or just for enjoyment ? It’s the problem that everyone wants to explore. As a matter of fact , everybody needs a proper purpose in order to struggle against life . A clear purpose not only guides us but also gives us hope and energy . When unknown challenges stop our steps toward the dream, our purpose will help us overcome the difficulties . Because of purpose and our efforts , we become useful for the world . Those who travel in life without direction sometimes turn confused and even lose their confidence . Considering the benefits of living a life of purpose , we seem to should establish our purpose as soon as possible . But we need to be careful to choose the purpose that will be suitable enough for ourselves .In my opinion ,the purpose of life must include two necessary aspects——Work and Love . Work is the basic purpose of our life . As a youngster,you are supposed to try your best to find the job which you love from the bottom of your heart. Then you may dedicate yourself to it with all your enthusiasm. Charles Moyers explains these :“Make sure the thing you’re living for is worth dying for . ”

On the other hand , only work is not enough to lead a life of purpose .Loving our families and taking care of friends are also indispensable parts in our life. When people really love their families ,they will surely find the purpose of life.In other words , our emotions can be surely content when we stay with our families and friends. One’s life without love is like the sky without sunshine. Work and Love play the most important two roles in the purpose for which we seek throughout our life . But other aspects such as devotion and learning knowledge also have an deep influence on our life . These things affect our behaviour and values more or less ,even though most of us can’t realize it clearly . As the saying goes :“When we do good , we feel good , and we are good.” Set the correct purpose of your life now , And you will make a difference to your life.

Since I was a little child, I had a dream that I wanted to be a doctor.

When I was little, I watched many TV series and movies about doctors. I thought

they were so great. Therefore, I made up my mind to be a doctor. In my opinion,

doctor is the people who can help patience get out of sickness and pain.I want

to be the person who can help others. However, being a doctor needs so much

professional knowledge and there is a long way to go. So I have to try my best

on my study and go to a good college.

Whether sixty or sixteen, there is in every human beings heart the lure of

wonders, the unfailing childlike appetite of whats next and the joy of the game

of living. In the center of your heart and my heart there is a wireless station:

so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and power from

men and from the infinite, so long are you young.

An individual human existence should be like a river—small at first,

narrowly contained within its banks, and rushing passionately past boulders and

over waterfalls. Gradually the river grows wider, the banks recede, the waters

flow more quietly, and in the end, without any visible break, they become merged

in the sea, and painlessly lose their individual being.

Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity, of the

appetite for adventure over the love of ease. This often exists in a man of

sixty more than a boy of twenty. Nobody grows old merely by a number of years.

We grow old by deserting our ideals.

Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.

Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust.

人生不是一场雨吗?虽然你曾在其间尽情地跳跃，曾无拘无束地驰骋，但更多的时间却得忍受雨后的潮湿，被袭卷而来的寂寥淹没。辉煌时段过后，就要隐退于世，做默默无闻的奉献者。这是曾经我的想法，直到与“它”美丽的相遇后，这个想法改变了。

那是一个慵懒的午后，我漫步在一条小道上。火辣辣的太阳炙烤着大地，一切仿佛都毫无生机。突然，我眼前一亮，发现了一抹绿，是的，在一丛灰褐色的枝叶间发现了一抹绿，那是怎样的绿啊!淡淡的、嫩嫩的，有种呼之欲出的灵动。我仔细一看，其实是两片硕大的叶儿，两叶儿紧挨着，仿佛在说悄悄话，好不活泼。而我与这叶儿的意外相遇，真合乎“蓦然回首那人却在灯火阑珊处”。

那午后与叶儿的相遇，不知不觉滋润了那几近干涸的心灵。似乎它的出现，让我的生活也充满生机。于是，我每天都会驻足于这两片叶儿间，伫立端详着，不时凑上身子、弯下腰，小心翼翼地观察一番。可是，那叶子似乎并没有生长。我开始担心，开始牵挂，它是不是生病了?是不是阳光太强烈缺水了?还是??那一刻，两叶儿似乎已成为我生活中的一部分，与我的血液一同奔腾着。

过了几天，当我再次去看那两片叶子时，它长势喜人，叶儿已经完全伸展。而渐渐地，那昔日的嫩绿与活力已消逝，枯黄取而代之。同时，我意外地发现在原来两片叶子下面已冒出了新叶。嫩嫩的、绿绿的，还是那种似曾相识的灵动。老叶为了给新叶留有足够大的生存空间，他们毅然选择了离去。夕阳的余晖映红了老叶，它的生命在即将终结之时散发出最后一缕炫目的光芒，我不禁忆起了第一次与它美丽的相遇，它当时还那么风华正茂、生机勃勃，拥有较大的勇气面对世界，也曾带给我无尽的感动与希望。正忆着，这时老叶的根松动了，一阵风无情地吹来，它就这样走向了飘零，义无反顾地回归了土地。我分明清晰地听到那撕心的痛楚，而老叶却无悔地做出了选择。

“落红不是无情物，化作春泥更护花”。在老叶生命结束时，它又给我上了一课：生命的价值不在于长度，而在于宽度;生命的意义不在于获取，而在于付出;生命的价值不在于瞬间，而在于永恒。

第二年花开的季节，再次走过那条小径，眼前又是那熟悉的灵动，我似乎找到了它的影子——那次与叶儿美丽的相遇。

it hurts to love someone and not be loved in return. but what is more painful is to love someone and never find the courage to let that person know how you feel.a sad thing in life is when you meet someone who means a lot to you, only to find out in the end that it was never meant to be and you just have to let go.

the best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation youve ever had.its true that we dont know what weve got until we lose it, but its also true that we dont know what weve been missing until it arrives.it takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone- but it takes a lifetime to forget someone. dont go for looks; they can deceive. dont go for wealth, even that fades away. go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright.

dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.always put yourself in the others shoes. if you feel that it hurts you, it probably hurts the person too.a careless word may kindle strife; a cruel word may wreck a life; a timely word may level stress; a loving word may heal and bless.the happiest of people dont necessarily have the best of everything they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.

love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss, ends with a tear. when you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. live your life so that when you die, youre the one smiling and everyone around you is crying.

Jacques Rogge, President, International Olympic Committee

That was spectacular. Tonight, the world was able to join in a magnificent tribute to the athletes and the Olympic spirit. It was an unforgettable and moving ceremony that celebrated the imagination, originality and energy of the Beijing Games.

We saw 204 national delegations march into the beautiful new National Stadium in the age-old tradition of the Games. Millions of people around the world were able to experience the thrill of seeing their heroes in a sea of team colours and national flags.

We witnessed athletes from these 204 countries and territories united in peace in one place. And for the next 16 days, they will be a part of one of the most thrilling competitions in history. As an Olympian, I can tell you that they will carry this memory with them forever.

This iconic stadium is one of the worlds new wonders. It was a fitting setting for an amazing Opening Ceremony, I look forward to an equally exciting and unforgettable 16 days.

Hein Verbruggen, IOC Member and Chairman of the Coordination Commission for the Games of the XXIX Olympiad

Opening ceremonies have always been a way for host cities to welcome the world and for the world to gather and share the Olympic spirit. This ceremony to open the Beijing Olympic Games was a breathtaking culmination of seven years of planning and preparation. The world will remember this for a long time.
