There is no doubt that traffic congestion becomes a growing worry for the residents of most urban areas. Some major roads are regularly choked with traffic in rush hours. The limited transport capacity contributes largely to the vexing problem. How to solve the headache?

The existing solutions to traffic jam mainly aims at creating metro bus systems and broadening major roads. Widening the existing roads can solve traffic snarls on some level. Soaring car ownership compounds the chronic annoying problem, so we must sharply reduce the heavy reliance on cars and drive a shift to the mass transportation. It is a cheap and good way. We can create a system of customized bus routes and highlight the development of subways, trolleys and light rail. The effective combination of these solutions will enable the urban areas to possess a smooth traffic.

毫无疑问，交通堵塞成为大多数城市居民日益担心的问题。一些主要道路在交通高峰时经常堵塞。有限的运输能力在很大程度上造成了令人烦恼的问题。如何解决头痛?

现有的交通堵塞解决方案主要是建立地铁公交系统和拓宽主要道路。拓宽现有道路，可以在一定程度上解决交通挤塞。飞涨的汽车拥有权构成了长期困扰的问题，所以我们必须大幅减少对汽车的依赖，推动大众运输的发展。这是一个便宜又好的方法。我们可以建立一个系统的定制巴士路线，并突出发展的地铁，手推车和轻轨。这些解决方案的有效结合将使城市地区拥有顺畅的交通。

Every year, my school holds sports meeting in about October, I am very

exciting about it, I can watch the wonderful game and don’t have class. My

school’s sports meeting lasts three days, the class is suspended, all the

students go to the play ground to watch the game. As an audience, I am so

nervous and yell out “come on” to my classmate, watching they get to the final

line, I am so proud of them. The part I like most is relay race, that is so

exciting, all the students yell loudly, the athletes chase one by one, nobody

can be sure who is the champion until the last minute. Sports meeting bring me

so many beautiful memories.

The usage of Internet becomes one of the most controversial topics in the

society. As a college student, I believe Internet is beneficial to me more than

the way it harms me. There are many advantages for using Internet.

First, I can best use my time to find information online instead of going

to different libraries. Also, the information can be dated back in decades ago.

It is very helpful to use those information as reference and historical proof.

In the library, it is hard to find so much "old" information. Another advantage

to use Internet is that I can stay home and have a lecture online. It is much

more convenience to me because I can stay warm to have class in the winter time

instead of spending two hours on the bus and physically attend class. In

addition, Internet provides me a better way to communicate with my friends and

professors. I can get response from my professor in a few minutes instead of

waiting outside of his door for hours. Some of my friends are living in a

foreign countries, I can simply just drop him an email whenever I can and get a

message from him very quick. It is much better than waiting for letters. Also,

the email will not lose while the letter might be losing in the process of

delivery.

However, there are also disadvantage of using Internet. For example, I

might spend too much time on the Internet to concentrate on my study. Also,

there is a chance that I am cheated because of the Internet purchasing. Last,

Internet has lots of information, both helpful and harmful. There might be too

much tempatation that I will access some of the harmful information I can on the

Internet.

Even though the usage of Internet has both positive and negative effect to

me, I still consider Internet is a symbol of technology development. I believe I

can use the Internet very well as long as I know how to control myself.

刘备借得荆州后，压根不想还给东吴。孙权派鲁肃讨了几次都没讨到，非常恼火，就采纳周瑜的计策，用妹妹做诱饵，打算把刘备骗到东吴，扣为人质，逼他归还荆州。

定下计策后，孙权就派人到荆州，说得知甘夫人去世后，刘备一直单身，十分同情，愿将妹妹嫁给刘备，请他到东吴迎娶。刘备可不傻，一听就知道孙权不怀好意：“我已年过半百，孙权的妹妹却是妙龄女子，他怎肯将妹妹嫁给我这个老头子?恐怕是想把我骗到东吴去做人质，逼我还荆州吧?我才不上他的当。”

诸葛亮却摇着鹅毛扇说：“主公但去无防，我自有妙计，包你既娶到孙权的妹妹，又不用归还荆州。”

刘备问：“军师有何妙计?”

诸葛亮的妙计是到紧要关头才能给人看的，他微笑着说：“我已将妙计装在锦囊里，主公路上再看吧。我等着喝主公的喜酒呢。”

刘备终于动了心，决定去东吴迎娶孙权的妹妹。关羽和张飞都说万万不可，大哥这一去，恐怕就回不来了。刘备安慰他们说：“你们什么时候见军师失算过?有军师的妙计，十个孙权再加十个周瑜，我也不怕。”

刘备带着赵子龙去东吴。临行时，诸葛亮交给赵子龙一个锦囊，说妙计就装在里面，叮嘱赵子龙一定要到东吴后，才能拆看。

刘备一行乘船顺江而下，很快就到了东吴水面。风浪很大，船晃得厉害。赵子龙想等风平浪静后再看军师的妙计，刘备却说，现已进入东吴地界，危险重重，万一东吴水军袭击，想看妙计都来不及了。

赵子龙觉得刘备说得有理，就将锦囊拆开。不料一股旋风袭来，顿时巨浪滔天。赵子龙站在船头，纵然武艺高强，也因船只颠簸摔了个嘴啃船板，幸好双手抓住船帮，才没掉到水里。可诸葛亮给他的妙计，连同锦囊一起掉到风浪里，打个转就不见了。

风浪平息后，赵子龙一行人划着木船，在江面上转了好几圈，又派几个水性好的士兵到水里寻找，都不见妙计的踪影，倒是那个漂亮的绸缎袋子还挂在船底的一颗钉头上，装了一袋子的脏水。

丢失了军师的妙计，刘备不敢去娶孙权的妹妹了，他决定先回荆州。可他们正要掉转船头，就听到有人喊：“刘玄德，你走不了啦!”

一艘大船飞快地驶来，船上站着一位威风凛凛的将军，仔细一看，正是周瑜。周瑜要活捉刘备，逼他归还荆州。赵子龙带领将士拼死抵挡，才得以脱身，但刘备的左腿中了一箭，赵子龙也被周瑜的长枪刺伤了右臂。

回到荆州后，刘备一瘸一拐地走下船来。诸葛亮吃惊地问：“主公，你没有采用我的锦囊妙计?”

刘备生气地说：“妙计被风浪卷走了，锦囊还在。”他把脏兮兮的袋子扔到诸葛亮的脚下。

赵子龙捂着手臂上的伤口问：“军师，你那妙计到底是什么?”

诸葛亮捡起锦囊说：“我想让你们到了东吴后，就沿路宣传孙权是请主公来娶他妹妹的。这事闹得越大，孙权就越下不了台，你们也就越安全，主公也越有可能娶到孙权的妹妹。”

赵子龙埋怨说：“不就是几句话吗?军师为什么不预先告诉我和主公，非要神神秘秘地装到袋子里，还必须到东吴才能拆看?你害得主公差点儿丢掉性命啊!”

诸葛亮追悔莫及：“我没想到江上风浪那么大。”

此后，诸葛亮有什么妙计都当面讲清楚，再也不敢装到锦囊里故弄玄虚了。

However mean your life is, meet it and live it; do not shun it and call it

hard names. It is not as bad as you are.

It looks poorest when you are richest. The fault-finder will find faults in

You may perhaps have some pleasant, thrilling, glorious hours, even in a

Everyone has their own dreams， I am the same. But my dream is not a lawyer， not a doctor， not actors， not even an industry.

Perhaps my dream big people will find it ridiculous， but this has been my pursuit! My dream is to want to have a folk life! I want it to become a beautiful painting， it is not only sharp colors， but also the colors are bleak， I do not rule out the painting is part of the black， but I will treasure these bleak colors! Not yet， how about， a colorful painting， if not bleak， add color， how can it more prominent American? Life is like painting， painting the bright red color represents life beautiful happy moments. Painting a bleak color represents life difficult， unpleasant time. You may find a flat with a beautiful road is not very good yet， but I do not think it will. If a person lives flat then what is the point?

Life is only a short few decades， I want it to go Finally， Each memory is a solid.

Yesterday afternoon, when I was sitting in the classroom and listening to

the teacher. Suddenly, the screen seemed moving and it started to shake. My

teacher stopped his class and then he asked us to calm down. He let the students

who were close to the door left first, and then the rest of us ran out of the

classroom one by one. After a while, everything seemed to be normal, the teacher

asked us to go back to the classroom. Later I learned that there indeed came the

earthquake. I admired our teacher so much, in the important moment, he did not

run away, but considered us in the first place. He is a good teacher.

At present, many teenagers smoke. I dont think its a good phenomenon. It

must be stopped, for smoking is harmful in many ways.

First, smoking is bad for our health. As we start smoking, its so

difficult to give up, because the tobacco contains a drug called nicotine, which

can get us into the habit of smoking. When we go without nicotine, our bodies

will feel sick.

Second, smoking is so dangerous. When we smoke in bed, we may kill

ourselves as well as burn down our houses, for burning cigarette ends may cause

a big fire. And if we threw the cigarette ends anywhere, it would also cause a

fire disaster.

Furthermore, once we smoke in public, we may make other people feel

uncomfortable as well.

Accordingly, for the sake of your and others’ health, please dont

smoke.

I think everyone likes weekend. Because it’s time for relax and fun. Now I

want to talk about my weekend.

I often spend Saturday for fun. Such as playing basketball with my friends,

watching movies and TV shows, having a trip with family and so on. And I always

spend Sunday for homework and have some rest. Sometimes I visit my grandparents

with my parents. It’s very interesting to visit them.

Do your teachers still use traditional techniques to teach you nowadays? A

revol- ution in teaching techniques is required now. In the past, we just took

it for granted that a teacher s aim was to teach the students all that he knew

and solve all the problems for them. Therefore, students could mot judge things

on their own under this circumstance. Thus students gradually lost the ability

to learn by themselves. In addition, they were only equipped with the knowledge

that were taught in class and made the same judgement upon every problem which

might crop up. Of course, they would find their knowledge not enough to solve

practical problems.

So it is time to change the teaching method. A teacher s goal is to help

the students develop not only the ability to learn by themselves but the skills

to make judgements on every aspect on their own. It s not necessary for the

students to turn to teachers for help while meeting with difficulties. The first

thing is to develop the students abilities to make sound judgements upon any

problem and overcome difficulties.

All in all, the aim of teaching is to liberate, but mot to fetter the

students innate powers of making sound judgements.

The products that are labelled with the words “ Made In China” can be seen everywhere. These products refer to be manufactured in China and they contain both the material and cultural elements. Once these products were very popular around the world for the low price and excellent quality, but in most foreigners eyes, they treat these products with low end and low quality. With the development of Chinese economy, the government try to improve its image, so it is in need of creating our own brand. Made In China is the good choice, the government makes effort to improve the quality, so as to promote the international image.

标明“中国制造”的产品随处可见。这些产品指在中国生产，它们包含了中国的物质和文化元素。曾经这些产品在世界各地由于低价格和好的品质而非常受欢迎,但在大多数外国人的眼里,他们认为这些产品是低端和低质量的。随着中国经济的发展,政府试图改善自身形象,所以需要创建我们自己的品牌。中国制造是不错的选择,政府努力提高质量,以促进国际形象。

英语念起来干枯无聊，我偶尔往前面望去，有一排同学没事可做，竟然搞起敢死队的工作——在英语老师的眼皮子底下看漫画书，晕。更为巧合的是――竟然都是坐在一排的人！怀疑是不是串通好了的呢。

敢死队员1号：小心翼翼型

这位队员一边看着书，一边虎视耽耽地望着老师。瞧，他刚翻一页，就抬头看看老师，接着又翻一页，然后有抬头望望老师，这样重复循环，真不知道他把内容看进去没有。看见老师的目光没有扫向他，他赶紧抓住机会连翻几页，然后突然抬头，盯着老师。

敢死队员2号：动作怪怪型

这位队员可有点怪了，看着书，一会儿掏掏鼻子，一会儿打打哈欠，一会儿摸摸耳朵，一副惟恐天下不乱的样子，好像不让老师发现他的举动就不甘心似的，真是个怪人。

敢死队员3、4号：谈天说地型

这两位同学有些不把老师放在眼里了，边看书边聊天。我隐隐约约听见他们说冒险岛OL，说漫画内容，说小说，说娱乐咨询，就连老师和同学的目光扫向他们，也无济于事。

敢死队员5号：边学边看型

这位同学好像有些明白学习的重要性，看了几分钟的书，马上立起来听老师的讲课。课上一半时，老师为了扫查班上的敢死队，把同学们一个叫起一个问问题。这下可让这群敢死队员们开始惶恐不安了，他们连书都顾不着看呢。而这位队员呢，看一会儿就学学，这一招算是对他的MISS了。

敢死队员6号：理直气壮型

这位同学可是班上的霸王级分子了（注：别乱想，不是我啊），他可是一人之下，几十人之上，谁敢对他不敬，他的落雷马上就落在你头上了，（注：我已经欠了他3顿打了，要不是我能帮他弄电脑作业，我早就魂飞天了）因此每人敢告发他。不知是她的好运还是老师放水，他这样看了一堂课，竟然都没半点被批评，真太不公平了！！

谁知道，老师从天而降，为了抓住敢死分子，居然来个背后突袭，到所有座位后边地毯式搜索。5名敢死队员唰地一声，在同一时间内放下书，装起乖乖。只有敢死队员6号稳如泰山，而老师的目光明明瞄准了他，可老师却好像在放水一样，竟纵容他在自己眼皮子底下活动，真气死人了！而其他5位的敢死队员便无机可乘，只好乖乖停课，唯独6号占了便宜。

本学期，我将结合学校工作计划和学校教学工作计划的要求，规范常规教学，提高教学质量，努力形成自己的教学特色。

一、总体思路

以努力提高教学质量为目标，以抓好教学常规工作，提高英语合格率为重点，采用任务型教学法，注重“学困生”的教育补差工作，形成良好的教学风气。

二、学生情况分析

经过一学期的学习，从上期期末成绩来看，七年级两个班的英语成绩比较理想。平均分82分。大部分学生学习目的明确，态度端正，掌握了英语学习的一些基本方法，能够积极主动认真地学习，学习成绩较好。但还有少部分学生没有明确的学习目的，缺少学习的热情和主动性，自觉性较差，相应的学习习惯也差，加上两极分化十分严重。

三、教材分析

《Goforit》七年级下册共14个单元，包括2个复习单元。全书采用任务型语言教学模式，融汇话题、交际功能和语言结构，形成了一套循序渐进的生活化的学习程序。每个单元都列出明确的语言目标，主要的功能项目与语法结构，需要掌握的基本词汇，并分为A、B两部分。A部分是基本的语言内容，B部分是知识的扩展和综合的语言运用。每个单元还有selfcheck部分，供学生自我检测本单元所学的语言知识。它采用“语言的输入---学生的消化吸收---学生的语言输出”为主线编排的。

四、教学目标

掌握本册书上的重点词汇、词组以及句型。通过本学期的学习，培养学生对英语的学习兴趣，形成有效的学习策略，有效提高学习效率，发展双基能力;培养听、说、读、写的能力，使学生初步获得运用英语的能力，达到语言运用能力的迁移和拓展;通过了解世界，了解不同地区的人文风俗，学会理解和尊重异国文化，并使学生在人际交往中学会尊重和理解别人，能在小组活动中积极与他人合作，相互帮助，共同完成学习任务，尽情享受学习的乐趣。

五、教学措施

1、加强词汇教学，包括单词拼写、词义记忆，语言功能的训练。

词汇是文章、句子的基本单位，词汇量的大小，将直接关系到学生能否流利地运用英语进行交际;能否熟练地用英语读和写;能否顺利地用英语思考。从上学期的期末考试所反映的问题看，在今后的教学中，在加强拼读与拼写的同时，应帮助学生进行有意识记，应加强对词的用法及内在含义的理解，要培养学生用英语解释单词的能力，逐步启发引导学生用英语思考。单词教学一定要做到词不离句，这样，学生在学会了单词的同时，也学会了词的一些基本用法。

2、每天背诵课文中的对话，培养语感。

3、基本的语法教学一定要与语境相结合。

进行语法操练时，要坚持“四位一体”，即话题、语境、结构、功能相结合。抓住话题，联系语境，确定语法结构，明确语法功能(交际功能)。要重视语法知识对于培养语言运用功能的基础作用，又要注重改革教法。课堂上一定要有生动活泼的教学活动。

4、进一步培养阅读能力和写作能力。

阅读和写作能力的培养是英语教学的又一重点。阅读和写作能力的培养在于平时。教师在平时讲解阅读理解题时，应着力帮助学生分析语言材料，而不是核对答案;平常应该多写作文。

5、做好学困生转化和优秀生培养工作。

优秀生：___，___，__，___。

学困生：___，___，__，___，___，___，___，___，___，___，___，___，___。

尤其对学困生进行专门辅导，布置一些作业，让他们在小进步、小转变中体会学习的快乐，树立学习的自信，尽快成长起来。

6、继续搞好师徒结对活动。

师徒结对活动也是一种好的学习方式。

7、作业布置要做到数量适中，批阅及时，对出现的问题要跟踪矫正，认真讲评，尽量面批面改。提高练习质量，要精选资料。

六、教研课题

《浅谈英语阅读能力的培养》

措施：用新的教学理念指导英语阅读教学，进一步改变教法和学法，培养学生对英语阅读的兴趣，提高学生的英语阅读能力，提高英语教学效果。

1、尝试通过各种形式的学习，例如复述课文、把课文改编成情景剧、阅读竞赛等活动，提高学生学习英语的兴趣，从而达到自主积累、综合运用英语的目的，并指导学生运用科学的方法记忆单词、阅读课文，取得事半功倍的效果。

2、通过信息技术与学科整合的手段，以课内为基础，增加课外阅读的量，指导学生借助信息手段和工具书理解文章基本内容的方法，提高学生的英语自学能力。

3、以复述课文、回答问题、判断正误、通过上下文线索猜词义为载体，培养学生的综合阅读技能，提高学生的英语阅读理解能力。

In the past hundred years, there have heen frequent natural disasters, such

as floods, droughts, mud-rock flows, seismic sea waves, earthquakes, windstorms

and the stretching of new deserts. The disasters have killed millions upon

millions of people, destroyed countless homes, and wiped out numerous pieces of

fertile land.

Now more and more people become aware that those disasters have much to do

with what we have done to the earth. We have cut down too many trees in the

forests,we have badly polluted the environment, we have shocked our own

home-planet time and against with tremendously powerful explosions of nuclear

bombs. As a result, climates have become abnormal, rainwater rushes down

hillsides angrily, and the underground energy goes up to revenge itself on

us.

The earth is our only home-planet. It is urgent for us to stop damaging it,

and to do our best to protect it and make it a lovely place suitable to live in,

for we have nowhere to go and survive except where we are now.

My mother always mentions her when I was young, then wear clothing and take money to buy, only money cant buy the food; monthly supply, to the end of the month is not enough to eat or eat less food can only borrow. This situation continued the mothers whole childhood. It staped our generation of children. China was such a poor country.

Gradually with the passage of time, Chinese has carried out reform and opening up, China is no longer behind closed doors. The convening of the historic the third Plenary Session of the 11th CPC Central Committee in 1978 opened a new chapter in the reform and opening up. Since then, the Chinese peoples tenacious and unyielding spirit has erupted unstoppable. From the coast of China to the river, from the east to the west, from the countryside to the city, it has come out of the planned economy. Come out of a closed and semi closed life. The dynamic market economy system makes China fast and step by step with the world.

The reform has brought great changes to China, which has made China develop rapidly with the speed of the world, and no country can compare it.

Throughout the thirty years of reform and opening up, the Chinese people are proud that China has moved from a planned economy to a market economy, from backward to rich and strong. "One country two systems", manned space flight, west east gas pipeline, "heaven" is established, the appearance has changed greatly; the world no longer underestimate China; the world economic crisis makes Chinese become the biggest "creditor", the power to dominate the world of national development in the China sit up and take notice. It all depends on Chinas thirty years of reform and opening up, or it will not be today.

After thirty years of standing and watching China, science, technology, culture and economy were all squeezed into the world power. In 2008, a remarkable year in China, the southern snow disaster, the Western earthquake, the 29 Olympic Games, the economic crisis that swept the world is coming to China. However, the Chinese people are not frightened by difficulties because of their unyielding body and stubborn character, but they become the most brilliant corner in the world.

As the children of the new age, we can not only lie in the present national strength to look to the future. We have our goal: to build a well-off society. This is the desire of Deng Xiaoping, the general designer, and the demand of the times. This makes us feel heavy on the shoulder. We have realized our mission and responsibility. Now we are making a hundred times efforts to forge ahead for a well-off society in an all-round way. Please believe us.

October 1st is the national day of our country, which is a public holiday

for the whole country. It’s an important day that marks the beginning of PRC. On

that day, there are plenty of celebrations holding throughout the country, from

the central government to the general people. And public places, including big

squares, parks are decorated in festive theme. In recent years, the national

holiday means the golden week as well, which is a short holiday that all people

expect to. With the improvement of living standards, people have more money and

desire to travel and the golden week is a good chance for them. Besides, for

those people who would not go out, it’s a good time to have a good rest as well.

Therefore, the national day means a lot to the Chinese.

自古以来，地理环境在人类发展过程中都起着至关重要的作用，不论是居住生存繁衍还是发展生产。很多学者都提出了地理环境决定论。然而，地理环境对人类和人类社会的影响不能简单地归结为决定或不决定，而应该作全面的认识。中国是一个多山的国家，山地、高原和丘陵约占全国土地总面积的65%，而且我国的地势西高东低，高差悬殊。高山、高原以及大型内陆盆地主要分布在西部，丘陵、平原以及较低的山地多见于东部。中国的大部分领土处于北温带，气候主要有三个特点：季风气候比较明显，大陆性气候强，气候类型多种多样。这些地理环境不断变化，产生复杂的后果，对经济的开发、民族的迁移、人口的增长、文化的传播，以至社会的治乱和王朝的兴衰都起着或大或小的作用，主要就体现在以下几个方面，

一、地理环境对人类和人类社会的影响

地理环境为人类的生产、生存、发展、消亡或离开这个环境提供了物质基础。在地理环境中的一切物质和由物质产生的能量既不能增加，也不会减少，只能是各种形式的转化或传递，除非来自这一环境之外或者离开这一环境。人类的一切活动必须顺应这一环境的内在规律，在此前提下利用这一环境，根据自己的需要进行加速、延缓或制止物质的某些转化和能量的某些传递。然而人类对地理环境的利用从来没有达到极限，不同地区、不同时间的人们对地理环境的利用程度存在着相当悬殊的差异利用的方式也迥然不同，所以产生了如此丰富多彩、千差万别的中国的历史和文化。

二、地理环境对中国文化形成和延续的影响

因为中国得天独厚的地理位置，在新石器时代，黄河中下游地区气候温和，雨量充沛，适宜作物的生长和人类的生活，成为先民生存和繁衍的最适宜的地区，最早形成了大片的农业区。

在中国占主导地位的传统文化，无论是物质的，还是精神的，都是建立在农业生产的基础上的，它们形成于农业区，也随着农业区的扩大而传播。由于中国疆域辽阔，跨纬度大，所以气候的波动一般只影响农业区的南北界，而不会减少它的面积，这就为中国文化的延续提供了稳定的物质基础。

三、地理环境对中国文化多样性的影响

在生产力很低的情况下，地理障碍对人类活动、特别是交通运输的影响要比现在大的多，有时往往起了完全隔绝的作用，例如海洋、大江、高山、沙漠、沼泽、丛林都曾是先民难以逾越的地理障碍。中国的地理环境发杂多样，所以除了农业以外，人们还不得不选择其他生产方式，中国历史上就出现了牧业、狩猎、养殖、捕捞、采集、冶矿、手工业、林业等各种产业，并且成为某些地区的主要产业，形成各地不同的物质基础。与不同的生产方式相适应，各地的社会、政治、行政制度也不相同。也形成了不同的生活方式与思想观念。在衣食住行方面，中国各地历来就存在很大的差别，久而久之就形成各种不同的风俗习惯。

四、地理环境对开放与封闭的影响。

地理环境的开放与封闭是相对的。中国的西北、西南固然是高原、高山、戈壁、

荒漠，但东南却有一万多公里的海岸线，可以通向世界各地。中国历史上确实长期缺乏开放的动力，但从某种意义上说，根本的原因并不是地理障碍的阻隔，而是中国的地理条件过于优越。在西方近代文明兴起之前，中国是东亚乃至当时全世界最强大、最富足的国家，完全可以做到自己自足，无求于人。

中国能够形成了绵延不绝的上下五千年的历史文明和独特的中华文化与地理环境是分不开的。

TheDragonBoatFestivalis a lunar (阴历)holiday， occurring (存正)on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month (农历史五月第五天) The Chinese Dragon Boat Festival is a significant (有意义的)holiday celebrated (庆祝)in China，and the one with the longest history (历史最悠久)。 The Dragon Boat Festival is celebrated by boat races (龙舟赛) in the shape of dragons. Competing teams (竞争团队) row their boats forward to a drumbeat (击古)racing to reach the finish end first. The boat races during the Dragon Boat Festival are traditional customs(传统习俗)to attempts to (试图)rescue (搭救) the patriotic poet (爱国诗人)Chu Yuan. Chu Yuan drowned (溺死) on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month in 277 B.C. Chinese citizens now throw bamboo leaves (竹叶) filled with cooked rice into the water. Therefore the fish could eat the rice rather than the hero poet. This later on turned into the custom

of eating tzungtzu and rice dumplings(棕子)。 The celebration is a time for protection (防护) from evil(邪恶)and disease (疾病) for the rest of the year. It is done so by different practices such as hanging healthy herbs on the front door， drinking nutritious concoctions (营养品)， and displaying (展示) portraits (画像) of evils nemesis(邪恶报应)，Chung Kuei. If one manages to (成功做„„) stand (直立)an egg on its end at exactly 12：00 noon， the following year will be a lucky one.

ncreased stress results in increased productivity--up to a point. However,

this level differs for each of us. Its very much like the stress on a violin

string. Not enough produces a dull. harsh sound. Too much makes sharp, annoying

noir, or causes the string to snap. However, just the right degree can create

magnificent tones. Similarly, we all need to find the proper level of stress

that promotes optimal performance, and enables us to make harmonious music. Good

health is more than just the absence of illness. Rather, it is a very robust

state of physical and emotional well being that acknowledges the importance and

inseparability of mind/body relationships. In the next program. I hope you will

join me in the pursuit of learning how to exploit stress, so that it can work

for you. and make you more productive, rather than self-destructive.
