Such a movie called “Growing Pains” seems full of knowledge and experience.

So it does because all of us have growing pains and also growing gains in our

lives.

Growing up is not a very enjoyable time. It means I have to work hard in

studying and in family. There’s always so much homework given by teachers and so

many arguments between the parents and me. The time is fair, but it seems it

gives pains three quarters and only one quarter to gains.

But gains give me power and confidence. Successes and friendship make me

happy and enjoyable. We played with snow in the winter that seldom snows, we

flew kites in the night that usually belongs to homework, we ate several ice

creams that almost made us cold. We picked up leaven that no longer high up!

Although pains are always more than gains, I believe both of them make my

life more colorful.

As is known to all, China is popular for its emperor of bicycles. This is

because our country is still a developing country and few people can afford

private cars. The demand for a means of transport is met by making millions of

bicycles available. Riding a bicycle has a lot of advantages over driving a car.

First, it is a physical exercise to ride a bicycle. In contrast, sitting in the

car, one tends to gain weight. Besides, it is nmch more economical to ride a

bike than drive a car. On the one hand,the only fee a bike-rider has to pay is

the annual tax. However, the annual fees for a car are costly. On the other

hand, a bike neednt be equipped with a parking lot, but a car must. Most

important of all, it is beneficial to the environment to ride a bicycle because

the bike doesnt consume petrol; it is a pollution-free transport. In contrast,

the exhaust released by the car is harmful to the environment. Since China is a

developing country with a large population, bicycles will still be the most

popular means of transport in China for quite a long time. Most people will

still ride bicycles to go to work or to school. The emperor country of bicycles

will remain for at least dozens of years.

it has been over 100 years since the very first plane, invented by the wright brothers, flew into the sky. the first plane, which was made of wood, had only been able to fly for 12 seconds in the air, but it opened the door of the aviation world.

i wonder how the wright brothers would imagine such a magnificent idea. they must have some kind of dream----human beings like birds, flying freely in space----they attempted various kinds of material to make planes, finally making their dream come true, although only a short 12 seconds for the first flight! we students often have different dreams: to be scientists, engineers, doctors, etc.

like the wright brothers when they were young, we should try our best to experience different things, for example, going out of doors to watch different animals, watching butterflies in the air, or watching fish in the water. with more knowledge in these fields, we can become biologists in the future. generally speaking, we’d better make greater efforts in our studies.

in this way, we can make our dreams come true, not only like the wright brothers in the sky, but also like yang liwei in outer space.

“鸟语花香”,“姹紫嫣红”,属于春天的词汇,充满了生机和盎然。

“如果有一天,我老无所依,请把我埋在,埋在春天里……”春天,是美好回忆的寄托,是人们向往的季节。

“春回大地,万物复苏。”小学课文第一课,春在小学生的心中,播下了第一颗学习热情的种子。

春,是希望的象征,是人们心中的苗。一年之计的活力在这个伟大的季节----春的身上完美显现。

走过校园的小林,一阵和风袭来,真如母亲的手一般温暖,毫无冬风的冷冽刺骨。

忽的,头顶上飘落一片叶子。一片落叶。一片落叶!在这个万物复苏的季节里,竟然有一片落叶!

多么不合时宜的景象!年轻的春天仿佛就因为这一片苍老的、斑驳的枯叶而被破坏了生机。我捡起这片叶子,嫌恶地看着它。棕色的叶子,只有茎上面的一小部分还闪着一丝绿色,大大小小的虫洞布满了残缺的身躯,苍老而脆弱的茎络仿佛都经不起春风的沐浴,只是坚强地没有一碰即碎罢了。

我把它放在手掌上,又一阵风来,将它吹落在冰冷的水泥地上。好像有什么不舍似的,它翻了几翻,终于在希望之春风的帮助下离开了地面,低低地飞了起来。看去向,却是飞向了道旁树下的泥土里。

我愣了愣。一句话突然跳进了我略显空白的脑海里:“落红不是无情物,化作春泥更护花。”而落叶又怎能是无情之物呢?叶,作为花的陪衬,不引人注目的角色,却也终其一生甘愿为泥,为了报答养育它的树,也为了培育更好的花。

我再次看向它。此时,我的眼神应该不在是带着一丝嫌恶,而是敬仰了。

这落叶,不是给春天抹上的一丝污痕,而是让我更深切地感受到这个春天的不寻常

在这个不寻常的春天里,有一片片美丽的灵魂,升华着生命的价值。

The Dragon Boat Festival is 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 celebrations 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.
