As is known to all， food is a priority for the mon people.Recently，

however， reports about food problems have often been seen in the newspapers，

showing that people have always been concerned about what they eat every day.

The reason for this problem is that some of the food producers are too fond of

making money， leading to the result that they use whatever will make the food

look good or taste better without considering the bad consequences。 This is not

normal because people just cannot live without eating anything.

So we should take all the measures necessary to forbid the food producers

to make food that is not safe enough. Laws should be strengthened and the

government should have more control over these producers。 Only when people are

no longer worried about whether their food is safe or not can they enjoy a

better life.

A little labour, much health.

常常走动,无病无痛。

They that do nothing learn to do ill.

A journey of a thousand miles begains with a single step.

一、Great changes in my hometown

More than twenty years ago, my hometown was just a small , old and poor town. Most of people were farmers. There were few factories. The people didn’t have enough food to eat and wore old clothes. They had a hard life .

Great changes have taken place in the past twenty years . The people have found a lot of ways of making money . Now there are many tall buildings . They are very beautiful . Roads are wide and clean . People can take buses or drive their own cars to go to work . Many people have cell phones and personal computers. People’s living conditions have improved a lot . Thanks to the government’s efforts . my hometown is becoming more and more beautiful .

Different people have different hobbies.For example,someone likes reading,someone likes swimming and someone likes collecting and so on.

I used to read books and draw pictures because by reading books I could learn many funny things.But now I dont like it.I can only learn from books.I couldnt get knowledge from others.I need a change.Traveling is my favorite hobby now.But I cant go traveling a lot.I can visit many different places of interest by traveling.I can learn a lot about people,places and history.Its very interesting.What is your hobby?Lets share each other!

I have many good friends.They all have their hobbies.Ann studies very hard.So her hobby is book reading.Tony loves labour,and his hobby is gardening.He usually plants flowers and trees in his yard.Judy is a quiet girl.She likes knitting.She always knits some sweaters for her dolls.We have different hobbies,but we are good friends.

I love traveling.I have great fun in traveling.

不同人有不同爱好。例如，有人喜欢读书，有人喜欢游泳，还有人喜欢收藏等等。

我过去喜欢读书和画画，因为从书中我能了解许多有趣的事。但我现在不喜欢了。我只能从书中得到知识，而不能从其他方面获得知识。我需要改变一下。旅行是我现在最喜欢的爱好，但我不能经常去旅行。通过旅行我能参观许多名胜古迹。我还可以学到许多关于人文、地理、历史方面的事。那真是非常有趣。你的爱好是什么?让我们一起分享!

我有许多好朋友。他们都有他们的爱好。Ann学习很努力，因此她爱好读书。Tony爱劳动，他爱好园艺，他总是在他的院子里植树种花。Judy是一个文静的女孩，她喜欢编织，她总是给她的玩具娃娃织毛衣。我们爱好不同，但我们是好朋友。

我爱旅行，我从旅行中获得了极大乐趣。

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.

它已经超过100年以来的第一架飞机，由莱特兄弟发明，飞入天空。第一架由木头制成的飞机，在空中飞行了12秒，但它打开了世界的门。我不知道莱特兄弟会怎样想象这样一个宏伟的想法。他们必须有某种梦想----人类就像鸟儿，自由地在太空中飞行----他们试图用各种材料制造飞机，最终使他们的梦想成真，虽然只有短短的12秒的第一次飞行！我们学生经常有不同的梦想：做科学家、工程师、医生等。就像莱特兄弟，他们年轻时，我们应该尽我们最大的努力去体验不同的东西，例如，走出门去看不同的动物，看蝴蝶在空中，或在水中看鱼。在这些领域里有更多的知识，我们可以成为未来的生物学家。一般而言，我们最好在我们的研究中作出更大的努力。这样，我们才能使我们的梦想成真，不仅像莱特兄弟的天空，而且还像杨利伟在外层空间。

In 1995, I entered the Nanjing University of Science & Technology (NUST) -- widely considered one of the China’s best engineering schools. During the following undergraduate study, my academic records kept distinguished among the whole department. I was granted First Class Prize every semester,In 1999, I got the privilege to enter the graduate program waived of the admission test.

At the period of my graduate study, my overall GPA(3.77/4.0) ranked top 5% in the department. In the second semester, I became teacher assistant that is given to talented and matured students only. This year, I won the Acer Scholarship as the one and only candidate in my department, which is the ultimate accolade for distinguished students endowed by my university. Presently, I am preparing my graduation thesis and trying for the honor of Excellent Graduation Thesis.

Research experience and academic activity

When a sophomore, I joined the Association of AI Enthusiast and began to narrow down my interest for my future research. With the tool of OpenGL and Matlab, I designed a simulationprogram for transportation scheduling system. It is now widely used by different research groups in NUST. I assumed and fulfilled a sewage analysis & dispose project for Nanjing sewagetreatment plant. This was my first practice to convert a laboratory idea to a commercial product.

In retrospect, I find myself standing on a solid basis in both theory and experience, which has prepared me for the Ph.D. program. My future research interests include: Network Scheduling Problem, Heuristic Algorithm research (especially in GA and Neural network), Supply chain network research, Hybrid system performance analysis with Petri nets and Data Mining.

routine is typical. It is probably a lot like yours.

这就是我从周一到周五的例行日程。可是，周末(安排)就不一样了。我可以很晚起床。然后我可以做任何我喜欢的事。我相信我的日程是很典型的。这就可能与你们的日程非常相似。

The Wind And The Sun

风和太阳

One day the wind said to the sun, “Look at that man walking along the road.

I can get his cloak off more quickly than you can.”

有一天风跟太阳说: “看看那个沿着路上走的人.我可以比你快让他把披风脱下来.

“We will see about that,” said the sun. “I will let you try first.”

“我们等着看吧,”太阳说, “我让你先试.

So the wind tried to make the man take off his cloak. He blew and blew, but

the man only pulled his cloak more closely around himself.

因此风尝试让那个人把披风脱下来.他用力地吹,可是那个人把披风拉得更紧.

“I give up,” said the wind at last. “I cannot get his cloak off.” Then the

sun tried. He shone as hard as he could. The man soon became hot and took off

his cloak.

“我放弃了,”风最后说, “我无法让他把披风脱下来.”然后由太阳试试看.他尽可能地晒他.不久,那个人很热就把披风脱下来了.

I live very happily today! In the morning, it is very fine! Then I climb

the mountain with family, the air on the mountain is very fresh, the flowers

plants and trees on the mountain all seem extremely beautiful. Coming back home

in the evening, family and I sat and watched TV together, we are returning and

eating the fruit while chatting, the whole family is happy and harmonious!

今天我过得非常开心!在早上，天气非常好!然后，我爬上山与家人，山上的空气非常清新，山上的花草树木都显得格外美丽。回来晚上回家，我与家人坐在一起看电视，我们还吃着水果，一边聊天，全家其乐融融!

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.
