向日葵，相信大家一定熟知这个名字吧？太阳是它最好的朋友。不管何时，只要有太阳在，它都会将自己的大脸呈现出来。在我眼中，它绽放的不只是花瓣，还绽放着对生活积极乐观的心态。

巴尔扎克说过：“欢乐是希望之花，能够赐给她以力量，使她可以毫无畏惧地正视人生的坎坷。”做人不正是要这样吗？天有不测风云，人有旦夕祸福。没有谁的人生会是一帆风顺的，大家都会遇到许多困难，而战胜困难的路径想必也只有这一个——乐观的心态。

霍金，正是这样一个人。他从小就热爱科学，并不断地做了很多实验。可不幸的是，在他21岁时，却患上了一种疾病，四肢开始萎缩，医生说他最多活不过两年。但他并没有放弃自己的人生，反而以乐观的心态，顽强地活了下来。虽然与死神一次次擦身而过，但他始终抱以希望。拥有乐观心态的他，忘记了疾病，忘记了所有困难，成就了一番伟大的事业！

像这样的事例还有许多，贝多芬也是个很好的例子。贝多芬的童年是无比黑暗的，父亲的逼迫，母亲的离世……然而，命运始终没有怜悯他，在他28岁的时候，夺去了他的听觉。但他没有向命运低头，他说过：“我要扼住命运的咽喉。虽然我耳朵聋了，但这可以让我更专心地创作。”正是这样乐观的心态，使人们永远记住了他。

此时此刻，用高尔基的话来说就再合适不过了：“我相信，只要怀着愉快的心情谈起悲伤的事，悲伤就会烟消云散。”我们要像那向日葵般，无论发生什么事情，都要绽放出最迷人的笑容，都要用乐观的心态去迎接一切！

Usually Saturday night is the time for students to get back to their desks

and do their weekend homework. Six school days are enough for the students who

have many other interests.

I think weekend homework should not be given. With homework arranged for

Saturday night and the whole of Sunday, when can he find time to help around the

house, play a game of football or see a good film, or just relax?

In fact weekend homework is usually put off until Sunday night. As a result

our homework is done very poorly and we achieve no results. If there were no

homework on weekends, students would go to school on Monday well rested, willing

to work. Teachers, dont you agree?

The skiing,or traveling over snow on skis,the has a history of almost five millennia.Although modern skiing has evolved from beginnings in Scandinavia,it may have been practised as early as 600 BC in Daxinganling,in what is now China.

Originally purely the utilitarian,starting in the mid-1800s skiing became a popular recreational activity and sport,being practised around the world,and providing crucial economic support to purpose-built ski resorts and communities

The oldest and most accurately documented evidence of skiing origins is found in modern day Norway and Sweden.The earliest primitive carvings circa 5000 B.C.depict a skier with one pole,located in Rdy in the Nordland region of Norway.The first primitive ski was found in a peat bog in Hoting,Sweden which dates back to 4500 or 2500 B.C.

Skiing is a recreational activity and competitive sport in which the participant attaches long runners or skis to boots or shoes on the feet and uses them to travel on top of snow.Aside from recreation and competition,skiing has been used for military purposes and even travelling in areas that experience heavy snowfall.Many types of competitive skiing events are recognized by the International Olympic Committee,and the International Ski Federation.

Dear Mary,

Thanks for your last letter. Im so glad that you have been able (at last! ) to arrange a holiday in Australia. As I fear I wont be able to meet you at the airport when you arrive, nor will I be able to be home until later in the afternoon, so here are some instructions and suggestions.

There is a bus from the airport to the city. It is much cheaper than a cab. Take the bus to the city and ask to get off at Town Hall railway station.

To get to my place in the eastern suburbs you have three options. You can either take a cab, a bus or the train. I suggest you take the train, since the airport bus will leave you right at the station. Get off at Cliff Station. From there you can either walk to my place (about ten minutes) or take a taxi. Probably you should take a taxi as you will have luggage.

When you arrive at my flat, ring the intercom for Flat 2. My friend Lillian will be at home and she will open the front door for you and let you into my flat.

Presumably you will be tired and want to sleep. But if you feel like some exercise after that long flight, you could stroll down to Cooper Park, which is only ten minutes away ? you can see it from the window.

Cheers and looking forward to seeing you.

Yours sincerely,

Annie

P.S. I will leave something for breakfast in the fridge. Help yourself to anything you want.

In the traditional view, a woman needs to sacrifice a lot when she marries.

For example, she has to quit the job and give birth to a baby, which makes her

look older and not that beautiful anymore. But in the modern society, the new

moms change peoples idea. A lot of mothers look still young and beautiful. They

have done some work to keep the body shape and take regular exercise, no matter

how busy they are. I admire these woman, some even make her career so well. They

find the balance between family and work, which makes them charming all the

据说，在英语流行开来的时候，许多欧洲人纷纷开始学习。目的很明确：读英语小说原文。一方面，这是一种审美的需求，另一方面，这也是社会阶层的划分依据：从此，身边的人分为两种，即能读英语小说原著的，和不能用英语阅读小说的人。在这样的目的驱使下，可想而知学习效率会如何之高。

最近在学习英国文学史，下载了海量的英美小说和诗歌。可以这么说，不读小说，不知英文的精妙，不读诗歌，不知英文的优雅与靓丽。

当下国人学习英语的目标，个人认为，不是纯粹的审美层面的。或是为了高考、大学英语四六级之类的等级考试，或是为了留学考试。真正静下心来，读一首英文诗歌，或许你会爱上英文的。

可以说，我的英语学习是为“雪耻”，小学的时候英语考试睁眼瞎，题都读不懂。到了初中，凭借优秀的语文和数学成绩，进入了英语实验班——是的，有一些滑稽。于是，在老师的悉心、严格的教学下，在我的努力下，英语终于按部就班地提高起来。中考英语以146分位居年级第一，进入了理想的直升班。

现在回想起来，简单的动机，为我打下了坚实的英语基础。当时，最开心的事情，就是每周的英语考试，可以读到新鲜热辣的时文。

不过，与那些英语原版世界名著相比，英语说明文就显得黯然失色了。当然，那些来自于《时代》周刊的英文消息，是很值得玩味的。至今记得那篇略显晦涩的对乔伊斯《尤利西斯》的报道。

今天，又窝在家里听英国文学史，打开一本诗集，顿时沉醉其中。

如果，能够以审美的维度，重新审视英语学习，我想，大家对英语学习的兴致，大概会浓厚很多了。

There is not a (no) thrifty man but bees a rich man sooner or later。 Why?

Because he will not spend such money as is unnecessary。 Little by little his

money will accumulate。 Ten to one， he is bound to make a fortune。I do not like

such men as spend their money in a wrong way。 They do not know extravagance is a

bad thing。 It can only make them happy for the time being。 In short， thrift

makes poor men rich and extravagance makes rich men poor。

清晨，太阳刚刚睁开眼睛，徐徐清风微微拂过，我高高兴兴地跑向向日葵基地。

远远望去，一片片绿色的海洋，一块块金灿灿的花海，仿佛是大自然的调色板，正描绘着大地的金色画面。向日葵们露出一张张金灿灿的圆脸，热情地向太阳公公打着招呼。

走进一看，我才发现它们各不相同。有的是向着太阳转的，这就是人们最常见的一种了。它们一个个抬头挺胸，朝气蓬勃地面向太阳微笑着，在清风中摆动着绿叶裙摆。不过它们也有各自的姿态，有的只是微微抬头，仿佛像个害羞的孩子不敢直视热情的太阳;有的就很大胆勇敢，一直跟随着太阳的目光，是名副其实的“太阳花”!

有的是低着头的，这种一般都是要开始结籽了。成熟的向日葵，它们的花蕊就像一个大罗盘，颜色从外到里，一层层加深，像个调皮的孩子一样变了色，到了最里面，在一根黄豆般大小的珠子上，长着一根根小刺，熟了以后就会结出一颗颗黑黑的籽了，那就是人们说的“香瓜子”。

还有的一种，就有点特别了，有几株向日葵尽然背对太阳，他们是在跟太阳捉迷藏吗?又或者是有什么心事，怕被太阳公公瞧见而躲起来呢?还是想和后排的向日葵姐妹面对面说说悄悄话?我不禁浮想联翩……

啊，向日葵真是花海里最朝气蓬勃的花儿了，那么灿烂，那么快乐，那么自由，我喜爱这片美丽的向日葵!

Dear Mr. Wang,

Thank you for taking the time to write your wonderful letter in support of MCEA (Maywood Chinese Education Association). Your letter clearly articulates all the major reasons children in Maywood will benefit from studying the Chinese language as part of their elementary school education. It provides invaluable support that will help making bilingual Chinese education a reality in Maywood public schools.

Although MCEA would like to see Palo Alto public schools implement the first bilingual Chinese kindergarten class in September of 2006, we have learned that the school district must take the time to understand how a new program will affect existing educational offerings, and to validate community interest. Nevertheless, MCEA, with more than 70 members, will continue to actively promote bilingual Chinese education in the Palo Alto public schools and will keep you apprised of the progress we make.

Thanks again for sending a letter in support of MCEA. We will continue to do all we can to realize this program both for families of Chinese descent and those with a general interest in participating in the growing economic power of China.

Yours sincerely,

George Chen

Dear Miss Jiang,

I am writing to share my ideas about our English class. Now, our main

material in the class is the textbook, which is reasonable. But I think we can

get some other resources, such as English magazines, songs, movies and so on. We

can learn the basic knowledge from out textbook, and get some more from other

materials. In addition, those materials are more authentic and practical, which

will be useful to our learning. Besides, by doing so, we can get more fun from

learning and develop our interest to English. Please take good consideration of

my advice. Thank you!

尊敬的蒋老师：

您好!我写信是想和你谈谈我对英语课的想法。现在我们上课用的主要材料是课本，这是合理的。但是我认为我们可以获取一些其他资源，比如英语杂志，歌曲，电影等等。我们可以从课本上学到基本的知识，同时从其他材料获取更多知识。另外，那些材料更真实和实用，这对于我们的学习会有好处的。此外，通过这样做我们可以从学习中获得更多乐趣从而培养我们对英语的兴趣。请您认真考虑我的建议，谢谢!

在明媚的盛夏，天空蓝蓝的，空气中弥漫着一种甜甜的香气。在这美丽的季节，我最喜爱向日葵盛开着。

有一天，爸爸带我到郊外去玩，我在车上看见一片金黄色。我欣喜的问：“爸爸那片黄色是什么？”爸爸说：“那过去看看。”我一下车就闻到淡淡的清香，仔细一看原来是向日葵。

向日葵的花盘圆圆的，金黄金黄，像金色的太阳一样；花瓣三角形的，无数片围绕着圆盘，像太阳发出的光芒。整朵花像是把太阳摘下来放在花茎上，又像是小朋友画出的圆太阳。向日葵的叶子绿绿的，像一只只可爱的小手托着美丽的太阳。

向日葵总是向着太阳，是太阳和向日葵在聊天，从早上一直聊到晚上。我觉得太阳是妈妈，向日葵是孩子，每天向日葵都对着太阳妈妈有说不完的话；我还觉得太阳是老师，向日葵是小朋友，都围着老师笑。太阳妈妈在给我传递温暖，小蜜蜂给我传播花粉，小鸟飞过来告诉我天空的美景。

向日葵就是小朋友，太阳就是老师，老师传授给我们知识，给我们温暖。

Whether students of Grade Nine should take after-school activity or not cause the attention of many teachers, students and parents attention. They say colorful after-school activities can help the students reduce their study pressure. And at the same time it can make them be strong and heathy. Some people dont agree because they think its a waste of time to take part in it and students may get tired easily which will influent their study.

In my opinion, I think its good for the students to take part in after-school activity because it is not only good for their health but also can help them be refresh so that they can study well.

九年级的学生是否应该把课外活动或不会导致许多老师的注意,学生和家长的注意。他们认为丰富多彩的课外活动可以帮助学生减少学习压力。同时它可以使他们坚强和健康。有些人不同意,因为他们认为这是浪费时间参加,学生可能容易疲劳,会影响他们的学习。

在我看来,我认为这是有利于学生参加课外活动,因为它是不仅对他们的健康有益,还能帮助他们被刷新,这样他们可以好好学习。

9、The success of life lies not in waiting for a good card, but in how to play it well. Do a good job on your hands and stick to it.

10、Be ruthless with yourself, "control yourself" to enjoy life better. It is the habit of temperance and self-discipline to have more freedom.

11、Accept what we cant change and focus on changing what we can change. Some of the limitations in life are real, not dependent on your willpower.

12、In the eyes of children, we are adults. To adults, we are children. With childishness, with confusion, with confidence, with the ideal on the road! Enjoy college, come on!

13、It is an eagle that will spread its wings and soar into the sky. It is the hidden dragon, which will leap over the firmament. The friend, is the proud son, must strive for the youth, the university, come on!

23、Life is like a marathon without mileage. Everyone is an athlete on the field. In a race, it depends not only on whether you have speed, but also whether you have stamina. Only those who can endure hardships and endure the temptations of loneliness can achieve respectable results.

24、Dont just know that you cant go back, just go forward. When stress is too high, learn to bend, to "show weakness", to protect yourself, to distract yourself, to "break" the brain, and to prepare for a faster sprint.

27、In life, there are always gains and losses. There are two sides to everything. The key is how you look at it. Change the Angle to see the problem, the conclusion is different, the mood also is different.

28、"Why am I so unlucky? Thats because your search "Im a messenger egg" evidence. Instead of asking "why dont people like me?" Instead ask yourself, "how can I be a popular and respected person?"

29、Giving up your responsibilities means giving up your better chance of survival. Only those who have the courage to take responsibility can be given more missions to deserve greater honor.

30、Many things in the world, when you deliberately pursue, it is like a butterfly wings to fly far; When you hold the surface of your thoughts, and for the sake of the societys attention to others, the unexpected harvest is quietly greeting you.

31、All the sowing will reap the results, all the "detours" will be valuable, all the failures are to improve their good teachers, all efforts will be rewarded sooner or later... Keep a peaceful heart, step on the ground and do everything right now.

32、If youre constantly complaining that someone is making trouble for you, or complaining about the lack of opportunities, youre giving up the subjective effort to find the cause. The more you complain, the more trouble you have, and the more you complain, the more you complain. Get rid of complaining and look at everything in your life with gratitude.

33、If you find that you have been lazy this mosquito not pain not to itch to ding, dont think "no" "no big deal," procrastination is the root of all evil, is the most common cause of failure.

34、There are countless excuses for doing what you say you do. There is no more trick to accomplish a task successfully. Just remember: do the right thing, do the right thing, and do it immediately!

35、No one is born to be a winner, the success of wealth and the attainment of happiness is not the result of the so-called luck, but the long-term effort. Dont worry about how others are doing. When you get into your own hands, do your best.

36、To be a man, you must put aside your selfish mind. You cant only have one self in mind, treat everyone as well as you can, you will get help from others, and you can open your mind in it.

37、In communicating with others, dont point out the mistakes of others or argue about them. It is difficult to get recognition from others who think they have an obligation to correct mistakes for everyone. One trick to getting people to agree with you is to ask for advice.

38、A sincere compliment is the best gift you can give someone. Its an investment in good relationships that you cant see for a while. If you genuinely appreciate others, you will find yourself happy and others happy.

39、The lure of money is far less important than the conscience of a man. You cant be a good person and never do good. Adhering to the principle of being a person, taking responsibility for others unwillingness to take responsibility, will eventually achieve the success that others cannot achieve.

40、Really strong, not the beginning has a strong power, or rich and powerful, but because of things to the person responsible, in the process of responsibility dig out my potential, is becoming more and more powerful.

41、Rather than investigating who made the mistake, research how to solve the problem. If we all take the initiative to take some responsibility, the work will be much smoother. Even if it is not our fault, if we can help others, it is not others who benefit, but ourselves.

42、One of the most important things in life is to form good habits and go all out to do them. Good habits make you more educated, more knowledgeable and more efficient and more successful.

43、Most of the time, what you dont like is best for people. Doing a little bit of "drudgery" that you dont like every day will eventually give us the confidence and energy of our willpower.

44、Dont let your energy be tied to anything that doesnt matter. Learn to take the big things out of the small, and to get the most out of the big things.

45、Everyone has a desire to talk, and they want others to "listen" to their inner voice, to meet the needs of others, and to make more people like you. "Listening" is a means of communication and a personal accomplishment.

46、When you need help, dont be stingy with your words: "help me... "A word not only solves your difficulties, but also makes it possible for you to make a good friend and ask others to help you. In fact, it is also an opportunity for others to develop and improve.

47、In an era of continuous development, it is not the most important factor for how to start a major. Who has a stronger sense of learning, who is better at learning, who has mastered the key to success.

48、Without the habit of analyzing problems, we can ignore many valuable information and miss out on many good opportunities. People who like to analyze, can always think of a layer more than others, think more deeply.

49、The change of external environment, today more and more quickly than in the past, no matter what your situation, will continuously collecting the relevant information, make oneself to the trend of the development of the environmental development in the direction of the new jobs are fully understand. The more a person knows, the more able he is to strain early.

50、When it comes to things and problems, whether it is learning or life, dont be afraid. In fact, it is often not because things are difficult that we do not do, but often because we do not do, things are difficult.

For most girls, I believe they must have read the story about Cinderella. The story tells about a beautiful and kind girl named Cinderella, her mother dies when she is very small, so his father marries another lady who has two daughters. When the father dies, Cinderella is bulled by his step-mother and step-sisters, but she keeps nice to them. One day, Cinderella meets a prince and when she joins the party, she has to run away before midnight. The prince finally finds her by his missing glass shoe. Finally, Cinderella lives a happy life and her step-mother and step-sisters are punished. The story tells people that if we are kind to others, we will have the good return.

对于大部分女孩子来说，我相信他们肯定有看过关于《灰姑娘》的故事。故事讲述了一个叫灰姑娘，美丽又善良的女孩。她的妈妈在她很小的时候就去世了，因此他的爸爸和一个有着两个女儿的女人结婚。当爸爸过世后，灰姑娘被她的继母和两个姐姐欺负，但是她一直对她们很好。有一天，灰姑娘在参加舞会的时候遇到了一个王子，但是她在午夜前就逃跑了。王子最终通过水晶鞋找到了她。最终，灰姑娘过上了幸福的生活，她的继母和姐姐们也受到了惩罚。这个故事告诉人们如果我们善待别人，就会有好的回报。

A folk culture is a small isolated， cohesive， conservative， nearly self-sufficient group that is homogeneous in custom and race with a strong family or clan structure and highly developed rituals. Order is maintained through sanctions based in the religion or family and interpersonal. Relationships are strong. Tradition is paramount， and change comes infrequently and slowly. There is relatively little division of labor into specialized duties. Rather， each person is expected to perform a great variety of tasks， though duties may differ between the sexes. Most goods are handmade and subsistence economy prevails. Individualism is weakly developed in folk cultures as are social classes. Unaltered folk cultures no longer exist in industrialized countries such as the United States and Canada. Perhaps the nearest modern equivalent in Anglo America is the Amish， a German American farming sect that largely renounces the products and labor saving devices of the industrial age. In Amish areas， horse drawn buggies still serve as a local transportation device and the faithful are not permitted to own automobiles. The Amish＇s central religious concept of Demut "humility"， clearly reflects the weakness of individualism and social class so typical of folk cultures and there is a corresponding strength of Amish group identity. Rarely do the Amish marry outside their sect. The religion， a variety of the Mennonite faith， provides the principal mechanism for maintaining order.

By contrast a popular culture is a large heterogeneous group often highly individualistic and a pronounced many specialized professions. Secular institutions of control such as the police and army take the place of religion and family in maintaining order， and a money-based economy prevails. Because of these contrasts， "popular" may be viewed as clearly different from "folk". The popular is replacing the folk in industrialized countries and in many developing nations. Folk-made objects give way to their popular equivalent， usually because the popular item is more quickly or cheaply produced， is easier or time saving to use or leads more prestige to the owner.

Getting Ourselves Worked Up

Our capacity to cope successfully with lifes challenges far outstrips our capacity to feel nervousness. Yet in the weeks, days, and hours leading up to an event that we believe will test our limits, we can become nervous. While we may have previously regarded ourselves as equal to the trials that lie ahead, we reach a point at which they near and our anxiety begins to mount. We then become increasingly worked up, until the moment of truth arrives and we discover that our worry was all for nothing. We are almost always stronger and more capable than we believe ourselves to be. But anxiety is not rational in nature, which means that in most cases we cannot work through it using logic as our only tool. Reason can help us recognize the relative futility of unwarranted worry but, more often than not, we will find more comfort in patterns of thought and activity that redirect our attention to practical or engaging matters.

Most of us find it remarkably difficult to focus on two distinct thoughts or emotions at once, and we can use this natural human limitation to our advantage when trying to stay centered in the period leading up to a potentially tricky experience.
