12 On Your SILVER WEDDING ANNIVERSARY

向日葵是一年生高大草本，是菊科向日葵属的植物。

向日葵的叶子是锯齿状的，有巴掌大小，左右均匀分布，叶子上有一层毛茸茸的白色的细毛。

向日葵的茎笔直地向上，茎上布满了细细的刺。花盘压弯了它的腰，犹如一个含羞的女孩一般。一阵风拂过，向日葵就翩翩起舞，好看得很。花盘中带有几滴水珠，分不清是露珠还是花蜜。

向日葵的花瓣是金黄色的，花瓣一片一片叠加起来。挨挨挤挤的花瓣下，嫩绿的长满茸毛的叶子紧紧地簇拥着花瓣。花盘是由密密麻麻的舌状花和管状花组成的。盛开的向日葵就像孩子的笑脸，向着太阳舒展开来。

我们站在整片的向日葵花丛里，放眼望去，景色非常壮丽。无数的蝴蝶和蜜蜂吸食着花蜜，在花丛中追逐打闹。

每到金秋十月，向日葵里就结满了葵花籽，一粒粒饱满的黑色的葵花籽等待着勤劳的人们把自己摘下。我们吃的葵瓜子就是这样来的。

向日葵又名太阳花，之所以叫向日葵是因为向日葵的脸一直向着太阳转，所以叫向日葵。向日葵是不但是俄罗斯的国花，而且还是秘鲁、波斯维亚的国花。

向日葵很受人的喜爱，因此，向日葵就成了家喻户晓的一种花。向日葵一般生长在野外，成千上万的向日葵组成了向日葵花海，一眼望过去，一望无际，黄澄澄的，看起来很养眼。

我站在家乡的向日葵花海里，感受着微风吹过脸庞，风中，混着各种各样的香味儿，又泥土的凝香，有青草的芳香，可我最喜欢的，却是那向日葵的清香……

向日葵的茎是绿色的，花蕊是棕色的，花瓣是金黄色的，茎高三米，花高30厘米。很是可爱。

我很喜欢向日葵，不是因为它的美丽，更不是她的清香，而是它始终向着太阳的精神！

向日葵，我爱你！因为爱你没道理！

As for friends, I’m going to make more good friends. Because I think friendship is important and valuable.

These are my New Year’s resolutions. I’m working hard to make them come true. I trust myself.

如果时间实在非常繁忙，建议同学不妨尝试考前抄写历年范文。

一是写作不动笔，你永远不知道自己写字有多丑，有多慢，只有不断书写（如同不断跑步、游泳），你才会到了考场（竞技场），很自然地尽量又快又好。

二是四、六级作文并非完全天马行空，大部分题目都是在大学生熟悉的话题范围内，这也是考委会为了考试的公平性，让大部分考生都有话可写。因此，历年真题的范文，印象越深，到了考场，说不定不经意间的某个表达，到了当日考场，同样能够适用！

Dear mom and dad:

In the last night, I and you had a quarrel. Now I know yourself wrong, in

this specially apologize to you. I know that I sometimes is very capricious, but

Ill certainly be correct. Look at my future performance. Ill work harder you

亲爱的爸爸妈妈：

在昨天晚上,我和你们大吵了一架.现在我认识自己错了,在此特地向你们道歉.我知道我有时是很任性,但是我以后一定会改正.请看我以后的表现.我会更加努力回报你们

Recently, I read a great book,Childhood,which is written byGorky. It’s a novel based on the experiences of the author’s tragic childhood, telling the stories about the author between his three to ten years old. Aliocha has a bad childhood. His father and mother die in his early ages, so that he has to live with his great-grandparents. His great-grandfather is bad tempered and his uncles hate him very much. Great-grandmother is the only person who cherished him. Besides, Aliocha also feel the pureness, friendship by his playmates. Through this book, we can see a poor, ugly society, but we also can see an adamant, compassionate little child who constantly pursuits of good things in life. It’s hard to imagine how he can stick to the faith of life in such bad environment. As for us, we live in a much better environment; of course we should cherish our happiness and be strong to face difficulties in life.

大热天的，学校投掷队还在训练。汗水早就潮湿了队员们的发梢，从额头汩汩地流下。

我刚上初一，身高就已经冲着一米八去了，腿脚很有些力量。教练看中了我块头，让我进了投掷队。投掷队大多身强马壮，各个皮肤黝黑。在学校，那些霸道的高年级男生也不会来招惹我们。

队员们在教练的激励下，谁也不肯服谁。谁发挥好，投得远，其他同学都瞪着眼珠子，要比他还要远。教练说了，成绩可以输，气势不能输！

那天的太阳真热，晒得人抬不起头。我们这些人中，很多同学在学习上没了教练常说的气势。而我和我的一个朋友不一样，我们的要求是学习和锻炼两不误。我们都深深地明白，如果只知道傻练，终究要把脑子练简单了。临近期末，我还有一些疑难的功课。这个关头，还要对付这个苦差事，我心中逆生出了跟教练不一样的想法。

那天好几次的试投成绩都一般，那球在不远处落地后，散漫地滚到了边上。老师黑着脸，毫无表情，目光如电。

“哈哈，太差了！”那个跟我要好的朋友揶揄起来。他眯着眼，咧着嘴，一副轻视的模样。我们无论在训练场，还是在学习上，都是不相上下的对手。到了初中，我们的友情好像淡下来了，互不服输的情绪多了。

“就你那模拟考成绩还好意思说我？”我忘了我们之前的交情，气急败坏地说起他的那次马失前蹄。

好几个队友都过来看热闹。他的脸瞬时白了，呼吸急促，青筋暴起。随之，我们像两只在开水锅里焯过的龙虾，红了脸，随后掐在了一起……

他的手臂上破了口子，我的脖子上留了印子。

昔日的两个好兄弟，没有输赢。我们输了友谊，也输了一直努力塑造的高大帅气的形象。

放学后，天空没有云朵，没有风的迹象。太阳仍然晒得人抬不起头，知了仍然叫个没完没了。路边的草儿枯黄，它低了头，去想它曾经的生机翠绿。

我想起我们交情好多年，友谊的小船却被我用大榔头三下两下敲成了碎片。我伤心起来，同窗六年了啊，多么来之不易！我越想越烦，重重的一脚，将路上的一个塑料瓶踩扁了，然后狠狠的飞起一脚。瓶子踢到了一个中年妇女身上，她骂了一句。我不理她，向前走去。

进了小区，为了避让车辆，我贴着花坛行走。有些人，以为自己开的是跑车，把小区当成了赛车跑道，想想真烦人，没素养。

花坛里栽种着一片向日葵。前些日子还不起眼的向日葵，如今已经长得有一人高。在这属于它们的日子里，努力地吸收着阳光。它们知道，它们错过了属于它们青春的时光，一生也就永远错过了。

它们长得齐整，和平地共享着阳光，不需要争夺，谁都不多，谁都不少，没有你追我赶的敌对和紧张。它们的叶子交错在一起，就像一对对牵着手的挚友。在这里，我没有看到科学老师所说的植物争顶的现象，只看到了一团和气。

我一下子明白了，就好像作者在一篇散文末尾的若有所思。

世上没有那么多的生死相争，也没有那么多的荣誉排行。哪怕是清华北大，不过是一段学习经历而已。在这物质的年代，更要以一颗宁静而愉悦的心，做好自己，笑对这短短人生路上同行的人。以谦逊和宽容的心性，让自己无愧无憾，方可不负初心。

我拿起了电话，没容我说话，电话那头就是一通诚恳的道歉，我的眼角不觉湿润起来。

My Favorite Holiday

我最喜欢的节日

My favorite holiday is New Year. It is a very important festival in Chinese culture. In fact, its the highlight of the year. Everyone returns home for a family reunion. We have a big feast and chat about all the things that have happened in our lives. People also visit each other. We exchange gifts and good wishes for the next year.

我最喜欢的节日是新年。在中国文化中，新年是一个非常重要的节日。事实上，它是一年中最好的（日子）。每个人都回家与家人团聚。我们有一个比较大的盛会并且（与他人）畅聊所有发生在我们生活中的事。人们总是互相拜访。我们交换礼物和来年的祝福。

New Year is especially fun for kids. Thats because we get

presents and treats, including red envelopes filled with money. But we never forget that this holiday is a time to give thanks. We feel grateful for our family and the things that we have. Finally, we think about the future and the great year ahead. 对孩子来说，新年是一个特别快乐（的日子）。因为我们可以得到礼物和乐趣，这其中就包括红包。但我们从未忘记新年是一个给予（他人）感恩的日子。我们对家人以及拥有的事物感恩。最后，我们考虑未来和美好的新一年。

The Lantern Festival (元宵节) is the last day of the Chinese New Year celebration.

This day is for the last moment for setting off fireworks, the last excuse for eating a big feast and the last chance for family getting together before the “年” celebrations are over. (Latern Festival is also a traditional time of celebration for foreigners who live in China).

The Lantern Festival, the 15th of the first month of the lunar calendar, is the first full moon of the year.

Celebrations and traditions on this day date back to the Western Han Dynasty.

Traditions for this festival: as the name indicates, hanging and looking at lanterns is the main tradition.

Lanterns of various shapes and sizes are displayed on trees, or along river banks.

Parents often take their children to Lantern Fairs and sometimes lucky kids even get a mini toy lantern.

Another tradition is guessing lantern riddles. These are riddles that are hung on lanterns for people to shoot down and solve. The riddles are usually short, wise, and sometimes humorous.

The answer to a riddle can be a Chinese character, a famous persons name, a place name or a proverb. This tradition has become a popular game with serious staying power even as social development changes other traditions.

Other than that, the most important thing to do today is to eat sweet dumplings. In northern China, sweet dumplings made of glutinous rice flour are called “元宵” while in southern part they are called “汤圆”.

Typical sweet dumplings are filled with black sesame sauce, sweetened bean paste, or hawthorn. Making “元宵” today is like a game or an activity, so its seldom done without a reason and a group of friends or family present to help out.

小区的花坛里，悄悄的长出了六株向日葵。

站在花坛旁边，一片香气扑面而来。仔细一闻，这可不是来自向日葵，这好像是花花草草脚下大地的气息，自然的气息。又仿佛是这种让人心旷神怡的香气哺育了一旁的许多花草，广玉兰，桂花和向日葵。大地是他们的母亲！

一阵和风吹来，向日葵手掌一般的绿叶似乎在和我打招呼；一朵云飘过，虽然为它带来了一时的清爽，却使它昏头转向。多亏了是太阳每天从东方升起，为它点燃了它心中的那盏灯。但对向日葵来说，天地间最重要的可能只有两样东西：太阳和大地。一个在最高处，一个在最低处。向日葵的生命力也非常强，只需人给它一个机会，剩下的，它便会用自己那点微不足道的力量去努力，直到成功！

向日葵的茎很粗，虽说比不上树，但足以和一株小树的树杆相比，上面还带有密密的短短的白色针毛，就像一件驼绒衣。它的叶子像一把大蒲扇，上面的纹路十分特殊，像是叠罗汉的架势，一层接一层，有一种立体感。叶背面长出了类似广玉兰的短绒毛，在开花的位置上，层层冒出了让人觉得无穷无尽的叶片来。

向日葵从一粒小小的种籽，变为绿芽，再长高成为最终看到的向日葵，都扎根在同一片土地，在春到秋三季之间完成它看似理所当然的生长任务，不是为了开花结果……而是为了完成一个必须践行的任务；追逐，追逐它心中的太阳，直到它的果实——它的心被无情的拿走……

现在我终于明白，向日葵心中那所谓的太阳，其实就是它那颗被理想所占据心，正因为她有了这个巨大的理想，才会永不停歇地追逐。虽然，它的起点是最低的，但是脚踏实地的它，肯定能到达梦想的最高点！

Gulangyu — A fairyland in the world

Gulangyu is a small island of Xiamen. It’s like a garden on the water. Cars and buses are not allowed to drive there, which makes the island so quiet that music played on the piano and violin can be heard.

Here the sky and the sea clearly meet on the horizon. When standing at the top of the Sunshine Rock, you can see much of the landscape of Xiamen, and when standing at its foot, you can gaze at the beautiful garden that surrounds it.

Gulangyu produces bananas, coconuts, sugar cane and so on. The people here, warm, simple and hardworking, are making every effort to make the island more beautiful and they hope to welcome more visitors in the future.

Such is Gulangyu, a beautiful and inviting island, where a warm welcome awaits.

there are some voices claiming lei feng’s spirit has gone out of style in today’s society。 they reason that in commodity economy people should seek more practical things， such as fame， money and the comfortable life。 to them nothing is more important than those things， which is often regarded as the views of the present generation。

there are some other voices claiming that the spirit of lei feng still has an enormous echo in millions of chinese people。 the great soldier’s story has such a strong influence on people’s ideas， values and ways of life that in every field of society there arise countless “living lei fengs”， who follow the example of lei feng and serve the people heart and soul。

in my opinion， the spirit of lei feng will never be out of date。 instead， it has been brought forward。 today more and more “lei fengs” are coming forth from various circles among whom “xu hu” has already set a good example to the whole nation。 the spirit of lei feng---an unselfish spirit will always encourage us to go forward。

[小学英文作文：自我介绍

晚饭过后，和对门家的小女孩嘉嘉出去遛弯，她今年五岁，喜欢在头上扎许多小辫子，穿可爱的裙子。我一直觉得带孩子是一件很好玩的事情，可以玩好多稀奇古怪的游戏，肆无忌惮地在大街上玩耍。

难得夏天有这么清爽的晚风，我抱着一个黄色的皮球，嘉嘉骑着四个轮子的儿童自行车，一路发出“隆隆隆”的声音。她妈妈时不时喊一句，慢点，注意安全。到了广场，坐着许多爷爷奶奶，他们拿着大蒲扇，一边扇着一边聊天，笑得合不拢嘴。

嘉嘉骑着车子从一个小坡下来，她妈妈再把她推上去，然后她又骑着车子“刷”下来，玩得不亦乐乎。这样来回几次，她妈妈的脸上已经有了汗珠，却还要一边擦着汗一边陪她玩。我提议，咱们来拍球吧。嘉嘉高兴地把车子撂到一边，就拿起了球。我以为她拍着球我们就可以歇会儿，可她非要数着，于是我们开始了漫长的数数，一二三四五……大概数了好几百，她才停了下来。我们在一旁鼓着掌，嗓子却都要冒了烟。

我第一次这么强烈地体会到，作家长的可真不容易，必须要有足够的细心和耐心。她妈妈和我坐在花坛边聊天，嘉嘉显得有些不高兴，抱着球要我们陪她一起玩，于是我们开始玩传球的游戏。

小孩子总是那么容易就得到满足，玩累了，嘉嘉开始撒娇，她妈妈虽然很累，但还要抱着她哄她，把笑脸给她，而把疲劳与不安藏在身后。

这让我想到了向日葵，天下的父母都像向日葵一样，对着孩子，永远是阳光灿烂、笑容满面，让他们知道这世界的美好，而身后的阴影却从不让他们看见，即使再苦再累，也不会表现出来。

所有的家长都是这样吧，他们辛苦了一天的工作，回到家也不能好好放松，做饭洗衣服看孩子，他们放弃了电视电脑等娱乐，一心只陪着自己的孩子，这样的爱是最无私最伟大的。

那么我们呢？做子女的又是怎样对待父母的？我们长大了，翅膀硬了，妈妈的一句叮嘱不愿听，爸爸的一句劝言不理会，只顾自己的学习工作事业，连一点时间也不留给他们。可是，我们小的时候，他们花在我们身上的时间永远也无法计算清，我们又怎么能嫌和父母说说话、唠唠嗑都是在浪费时间呢？

抽空陪陪自己的父母，像儿时他们看你学骑单车，心中装着一颗不安的心；像儿时他们耐心地看你拍皮球，给你数数，数到嗓子都干了；像儿时他们看见你的一点点进步，鼓着掌时露出的美好笑脸。

百善孝为先，一个人如果连自己的父母都不孝顺，连自己的父母都不愿意陪着，更别提成功了，他一定是最失败的人。因为他没有道德，他不懂得爱人。

向日葵也需要我们的陪伴，在他们的心中，永远会把笑脸对着孩子，我们也一定要将阳光洒向他们的身上。

“我们是共产主义接班人，继承革命先辈的光荣传统，爱祖国，爱人民，鲜艳的红领巾飘扬在前胸……”在迎风飘扬的五星红旗下，洋溢着我们嘹亮的歌声。

在音乐的伴奏之下，一年级的新生入场了，他们将要接受少先队入队仪式，成为一名真正的少先队队员。在万众瞩目下，他们终于出场了，每一个小朋友都由一位大哥哥大姐姐牵着进场。可能因为第一次被这么多人注视着，所以一张张稚气的小脸上充满了羞涩，显地极其不自然。有一个小朋友站好了以后好像不知道该怎么做，在那儿不知所措地抓头饶耳。当大哥哥大姐姐为他们系上了一块崭新的红领巾时，他们的笑容是那样甜，一对小酒窝里好像盛满了蜜。当他们举起稚嫩的小拳头，用最真挚的语言郑重地宣誓时，他们的表情是那样认真。这种似曾相识的情景，使我想起了五年前我刚刚加入少先队时的情景。

那时候是在大会议室举行入队仪式的，当一个大姐姐为我佩戴上鲜艳的红领巾时，我充满了自豪感，小小的心顿时充满了欢乐，因为我知道，我已经成为了一名少先队队员，一名光荣的少先队队员！

当所有的一年级新生都抬头挺胸地沐浴在阳光下时，太阳为他们镀上了一层金色的光，仿佛是一颗颗向日葵在阳光下绽放！

今天，我把几粒向日葵种子种在花盆里，为它们浇水，把花盆放在阳台上，接受阳光的照射。

过了几天，我种在花盆中的向日葵种子发芽了，这使我多么高兴啊！我看着葵花籽发出的嫩芽，心里美滋滋的。只见两片嫩绿的小叶片被一根水灵灵的主干顶着，就像喷出的一根水柱到顶端分开两股一样。那嫩绿的枝叶，那么柔弱，好像只要一口气就可以把它吹断似的。芽长大了，叶子变得更绿了，主干也长高了，长粗了，两张叶片向上张开，叶面上的脉纹可以清楚看见了。又过了几天，向日葵的主干粗壮了，长到半尺多高，颜色由嫩绿变成黄绿。主干上的管子露出来了，是白色的。两片叶子长成椭圆，露出了尖角，叶面上白绒绒的，那是长了叶毛。

中午，我把向日葵端到阳台晒太阳，主干的颜色又变了，由黑黄色变成了黑红色，原来脆弱的身躯变得坚硬有弹性，上面还长满了白色的绒毛。主干的顶端又长出了两片新叶。向日葵亭亭玉立，在微风中轻轻摆动，那样子真么可爱。

又过了几天，几片叶子长得又宽又大，向日葵长出了花蕾，黄色的花瓣真好看。微风吹来，向日葵轻轻摆动，好像莲花在水面上荡漾，又好像是一位穿着绿裙子的少女在舞蹈。看着向日葵，捧着两盘葵花籽，向着太阳微笑，令我的心情无比喜悦。

一个风和日丽的上午，我来到小区下的花园里，观察大自然。走进花园里，我就开始仔细的观察周围的景物。连极小的虫子我也不放过。忽然，我的目光停留在一株向日葵上，可心里却在想：一棵向日葵，肯定没有什么发现，然后我就不屑一顾地走开了。可是我错了，当我下午再来到小花园里观察时，我却惊奇地发现向日葵朝的方向改变了，难道是有人把它拔起来改变了他朝的方向吗？我跑过去拉了一下它的根，可它还是紧紧地抓着地下的泥土。好奇心立刻涌进了我的脑子里。

难道它的根能在别人把它拔起后，迅速的长回去吗？我跑到向日葵前仔细地把它观察了一番，发现他的花心里有一点一点的黑孔，黑孔很小很小，只有一粒米那么小，黑孔里还有一些斑点。我回到家就赶紧翻开我的百科全书，可是我把整本书都翻遍了，还是没有找到想要的资料。我急得像热锅上的蚂蚁一样团团转，这时我想到了去网上查找资料。原来向日葵朝阳是因为它的花盘下面的茎部有一种奇妙的植物生长素，一遇到光线就会是背面细胞迅速增长，就造成了向日葵会朝阳这个现象。

我的脑子里突然有一个奇思妙想：我想根据向日葵这个特点发明一个太阳能转换器。当太阳照到太阳能转换器上，太阳能转换器会一边发出一种光，射到神州大地的上空，扩散开来，形成一个保护障，一边吸取热量，以便阴天和夜晚也能够运作，这样就可以保护我们的祖国。大自然真奇妙啊！像一个无穷无尽的问号，还有很多未知的奥秘等待着我们这些祖国的栋梁去发现，去探索，去造福人间！

What is April Fools Day and how did it begin? Well, that is a very good question. The origin of this holiday is rather uncertain. However, the common belief holds that during the reformation of the calendar the date for the New Year was moved from April 1st to January 1st. During that time in history there was no television and no radio so word spread slowly. There were also those who chose to simply ignore the change and those who merely forgot. These people were considered "fools" and invitations to non-existent parties and other practical jokes were played on them. "All Fools‘ Day" is practiced in many parts of the world with practical jokes and sending people on a fool‘s errand.

Another thought is that the origin began with the celebrations of the Spring Equinox. While some believe it has to do the a Roman festival known as Hilaria, the end of the Celtic new year.

In Scotland, April Fools Day lasts 48 hours, day two is know as Taily Day and pranks involving the posterior are played. The victim of the practical joke is referred to as "hunting the gowk"; the gowk is an extinct cuckoo bird.

In France, he is the "poisson d‘Avril" or "fish of April." The fish in April are newly hatched and easily caught. French children enjoy taping a picture of a fish on their friends back and yelling out "Poisson dAvril!" when it is found.

Da de los Santos Inocentes is held in Spain on December 28th. This is The Feast of the Holy Innocents. It‘s celebrated similarly to April Fools‘ Day with practical jokes.

In the United States, pranks are played on just about everybody. Pranks range from the standard "Your shoe is untied", to some very creative and elaborate ideas. The only "rule" is that no one should be harmed. The best jokes are when everybody including the victim laughs.

Planting Trees植树

It was fine on March 12, 201x. I got up early that day. All the students in our school went to the hill to plant trees.

We arrived at the hill at eight oclock. The teacher asked each of us to plant at least six trees. Then we started digging, planting and watering. We all worked so hard that we could finish our tasks ahead of time. Among us,Wang Lin, our monitor set a good example for us. Though he was ill, he worked harder. When he finished his task, he went on to help others without even a little rest. He was wet all over after work. "I must learn from him," I said to myself . Looking at the lines of the young trees, we smiled happily, forgetting our tiredness.

201x年3月12日天气晴。那天我起得早。我们学校所有的学生都去山上种树。

我们8点到达山上。老师要求我们每个人种至少六棵植物。然后我们开始挖洞，种植和浇水。我们所有人如此辛勤工作以致我们能提前完成任务。在我们中间，王麟，我们的班长给我们树立了好榜样。虽然他病了，但他很努力的工作。当他完成他的任务时，他还去帮助别人，甚至没有一点休息。在工作完以后，他全身都湿了。”我要向他学习，”我对自己说。看着一行一行的小的树苗，我们愉快地微笑着，忘记了我们的疲倦。
