But some people dont pay attention to traffic safety, have you ever thought, maybe is a little small negligence, it may cause you a lifetime of regret.

Remember once, I was walking on the way home from school, I suddenly heard not far away there was a "PSST -" the emergency brake and whomp. I smell of prestige, turned out to be a school bus and a car is car bumped into a corner, the car of the end of the car hit the bus, the bus of the paint knocked off a piece, part of this deformity, and car headlights also crashed down. My heart suddenly a shock at the time, think: how dangerous the students on the bus so much!

If the drivers reaction was slow a little, that a car through small flower, maybe havent had time to bloom, is the car accident wrecked lives. Think of this, scared I broke out in a cold sweat. Both owners debate up at this moment, I close to a little, to smell the car owners body there is a terrible and apparently drank a lot of wine. At this time, the police also arrived at the scene to deal with the traffic accident.

People who drunk driving, dont let the life on the line between wandering; People who do not obey the traffic rules, please follow the traffic rules! As a primary school student, I want to set a good example, must strictly abide by the traffic rules.

Traffic safety, starts from me. This is urgent problem. Let us cherish life, pay attention to traffic safety.

在现代化的社会，我们的生活已经离不开交通了，而交通安全，也是不可忽视的问题，而且必须言出即行，从我做起。但是有些人却不重视交通安全，你是否想过，也许就是一点小疏忽，就有可能造成你一生的遗憾。

记得有一次，我正走在放学回家的路上，忽然听见不远处传来一阵“嘶——”的紧急刹车声和撞击声。我闻声望去，原来是一辆校车和一辆正在拐弯的小轿车撞上了，小轿车的车头撞到了校车的尾部，校车的油漆被撞掉了一块，还有一部分畸形了，而小轿车的车灯也撞了下来。我当时心猛地一震，想：校车上那么多的学生多危险啊!

要是司机的反应慢了一点点，那一车含苞待放的小花朵，或许还没来得及绽放，就被这场车祸葬送了性命。想到这，吓得我出了一身的冷汗。这时双方车主争论了起来，我靠近了一点儿，闻道小轿车车主的身上有一股难闻的酒气，显然是喝了许多的酒。这时，交警也赶到了现场来处理这场交通事故。

那些醉酒驾驶的人们，不要再让自己的生命在生死线上徘徊了;那些不遵守交通规则的人们，请遵守交通规则吧!作为一名小学生，我要以身作则，一定要严格遵守交通规则。

交通安全，从我做起。这是刻不容缓的问题。让我们珍惜生命，注意交通安全吧。

Dear John,

Long time no see, how is your summer vacation? I’m really sorry for writing so late. I have been too busy at this moment. I am happy to hear that you have traveled to Tibet at this summer holiday. How I wish I could go there with you!

Let me tell you something about my summer holiday. My summer holiday is rich and colorful. My parents take me to Hong Kong. That’s a beautiful place. I buy a lot of funny things at there. Such as pretty dresses, cute dolls and the snacks I never eat before. I really want to stay there and never come back! In a word, I really appreciate the life there.

I’m really looking forward to your reply!

亲爱的约翰：

好久不见，你的暑假过得还好吗?很抱歉那么晚才写信给你。这段时间我真的太忙了。我很高兴听说暑假你去了西藏旅游。我真希望我也和你一起去。

让我告诉你我的暑假趣事吧。我的暑假过得丰富多彩。我父母带我去了香港。那是个美丽的地方。我在香港买了很多新奇的玩意。比如漂亮的裙子，可爱的娃娃和一些从来没有吃过的零食。我真想待在那里再也不回来了。一句话，我喜欢那里的生活。

Looking forward to the stars, looking forward to the moon, and finally to the new years day, I am happy! That kind of feeling, strange, like eating honey, is simply indescribable in language.

Early morning, my mother called me up, I rubbed my eyes: "what are you doing? So call me so early? " Mother said, "today is your grandfathers birthday, we have to go faster." I reluctantly dressed, washed and finished, and my mother pulled me around. I felt like I was running so fast for the first time in my life. My mother was still running, saying, "hurry up, hurry up, the car is leaving." Walking on the street, the streets are gray. Because the streets are deserted in the morning and no shop opens, they cant see that today is new years day. There is no doubt about the atmosphere of new years day.

In the country, a lot of fog, everywhere there is the sound of firecrackers, the way people are gathered together, talk about their home in the new years Day is to kill a few pigs, slaughter a few sheep, and buy what new things, everyone put on new clothes, filled with a smile. In the face, giving a feeling of children bursting with happiness, have also come out, with new toys, their families run around here and there, in the run between, to the club to candy, to Hezekiah to drink, no one to blame them, because this is after all new years Day!

However, I am not interested in this, because I still miss me >warm quilt!

On the morning of new years day, I opened my eyes with the sound of a firecracker. Open the calendar, open a new year, open a wonderful story. I l

理想是无数人拼搏的动力，是无数人成功的阶梯，要想实现理想，就要为之付出，正如一位伟人说的：“只有不为攀登的采药者，只有不畏巨浪的弄潮儿，才能登上高峰采到仙草，深入水底觅到骊珠。”心中有梦，威猛拼搏，霍金就是其中一个。霍金，被称为轮椅上的勇士。一次霍金坐轮椅回柏林公寓，过马路时被汽车撞倒，左臂骨折，头被划破，缝了13针，但48小时后，他又回到办公室投入工作。还有一次，1985年，霍金动了一次穿气管手术，从此完全失去了说话能力，他就是在这样及其艰难的情况下写出了著名的《时间简史》，探索着宇宙的奥秘，这难道不是他坚信梦想的力量吗？

花儿的梦想是努力绽放出娇艳的笑脸，让人们欣赏；鸟儿的梦想是长大后在蓝天上展翅飞翔，成为一只有远大抱负的鸟；而我的梦想是成为一名培养“祖国花朵的园丁”。

如今，我是一个即将毕业的小学生，在我的身边有许多同学都在谈自己的远大理想，可是他们有的不努力，有的不文明，不礼貌。这样的人即使理想再高，抱负再大，也不会有好结果的，现在，我终于明白了，理想只有靠自己脚踏实地的不懈努力，才能得以实现，否则就只是空谈。

教师交给学生知识，教给学生做人的道理，鼓励学生们进取，批评学生马虎大意的毛病，引导他们走向正途，许多明星、专家、医生和教授，都是老师培养出来的啊！我想：只要我坚定不移地朝着这个理想努力奋斗，我一定会成为一个优秀的园丁。

理想是人生导航的灯塔，让我们在这灯塔的指引下，努力拼搏，克服困难，到达理想的彼岸。

persistence must be there.

Non-existent at ordinary times is very strict with our requirements.

Words because some students in our class wrote too fast and some bad, non-existent will let them change to come over, we all have greatly improved.

有人说：你是春蚕，吐不尽那绵绵的细丝至死方休!有人说：你是蜡烛，洒尽最后一滴泪去照亮漆黑的夜空;还有人说：你是朝露，常在黎明到来之前，默默地滋润着大地万物……你，就是我敬爱的老师——汤老师。

汤老师长着高高的个子，圆圆的脸蛋，额上长着两道柳眉，柳眉下嵌着一双明亮而又锐利的眼睛，她还有一张能说会道的嘴巴，一笑起来，嘴瓣儿像恬静的弯月。

汤老师平时对我们的要求很严格。每次学完课写《习字册》的时候，都会要求我们把字写得非常端正，对写的不好的字决不放过，直到写好为止。班里有几个同学的字因为写得太快而有些不好，汤老师就会让他们改过来，使我们都有很大的提高。

汤老师还很关心我们。记得有一次，我有点不舒服，去医务室量了下温度，37.5度，汤老师就跟我说：“如果不舒服，就跟老师说，老师就会和家长说的。”汤老师对我们真的非常关心。

老师，我向您致敬!是您把懵懂的我们领进知识的太空，用您那如歌的声音把爱播种!您像蜡烛一样燃烧了自己，给我们点燃希望的火种，用您那执著热情指引我们打开科学的迷宫!谢谢您，老师!

我喜欢骑自行车上学，因为我可以通过骑车保持健康。自行车在北京依然很流行，一些外国人也买自行车骑。但是越来越多的人买汽车，因为他们认为汽车比自行车快。汽车的尾气污染了空气，浪费了能源。我认为自行车比汽车好。

Someone asks me what on earthHappinessmeans? I cant give you the exact definition of it, but Im sure if you love and help others, youll get it..

Ill never forget an old lady. She lives in a small house alone. Its said that her husband and her son died in a traffic accident. How bitter her life is!But the old lady often helps others with a smile. Whenever it snows, she is always the first to clean the paths. She looks after several children living nearby. I am one of them. I often remember the stories she told us and her kind smile. Perhaps she is unlucky, but I think she is a happy person. Her life is full of laughter and love.

But Im sad to see some people getting their happiness in bad ways.They speak loudly in cinemas and meeting rooms; they destroy trees to enjoy themselves and they laugh at others shortcomings. Perhaps they feel happy at that time, but they will never get true happiness because they have lost their personality.

Now I know what happiness is. It means kindness, love and unselfishness. Above all, only bringing happiness to others can make you yourself get it.

My birtiday is on 24th May. I always have both happy and sad feelings on my birthday. Why I am happy? I have group of friends that come over to celebrate with me.

They do not go to buy one, but make one themselves. I feel so happy about that. However, I understand my mother was the one who suffered the most pain on the date I came to the world. I feel so sorry for my mother for what she had suffered. But I promise her, I will take good care of her when I have that ability.

我的生日是5月24日。我在我的生日时既有快乐也有悲伤的情感。我为什么开心?我的朋友来和我庆祝。他们给我的生日礼物,有时礼物非常让我吃惊。同时,我能感觉到我的家人多么爱我,因为我的父母总是为我做一个生日蛋糕。他们不去买一个,而是自己做。我感到很高兴。然而,让我明白的是我的母亲遭受了最痛苦的事让我来到了这个世界。我感到抱歉为我的母亲她遭遇了什么。但是我答应她,当我有能力时，我会好好照顾她,。

1 中等程度的同学

课文模仿背诵法

纵观近几年的中考，与课本直接相关的内容占了很大比例，在阅读和完型两项中更是多次出现课本原文。所以，把握好课本对大多数中等程度的同学至关重要。到了中考复习的冲刺阶段，不少老师会要求同学把课本中的重点课文背诵下来，我们何不现在就动手?但是机械的背诵效果不好，课文模仿背诵法一定要在模仿课文录音的前提下进行，才能发挥最大功效。

具体来说，同学可以借来初三上册的课本和录音带，每个模块的Unit1的对话由于开学上课时要做听力，可以不看，我们只需模仿背诵Unit2。比如说Module1 Unit2中的The greatest wonder of the natural world，我们打开录音机，先听第一句：When I arrived, it was early morning and it was raining. 然后进行模仿，注意语调和节奏以及连读，而后再将录音带倒回，再次模仿。如果你以前没有模仿朗读的习惯，那你至少需要将这一个句子模仿5到6遍，长句子需要10遍以上。实际上，当你把一个句子模仿得惟妙惟肖时，这个句子已经印在你脑子里了。所以要想将一篇200到300字的文章模仿背诵下来，需要2到3个小时的时间，只有在假期中我们才有这样整块的时间来完成此项工作。

你可能会觉得这样太麻烦了，不如做几道单选来得轻松。但如果你想在英语上快速、有实质性的飞跃，非此法不可。当你模仿时，你不妨想想那些电视里的模仿秀明星，他们无非是模仿一些特点鲜明的人物，难度大大低于模仿英语的录音带，咱们在进行一种更高级的模仿秀。当你的注意力集中于模仿语音语调时，就会忽略机械背诵的痛苦。模仿的过程恰恰就是打磨的过程，这样背下来的文章即使一段时间后内容记不清了，但模仿打磨时留下的语感却永远丢不了。如果你坚持这样做，会发现自己做单选完型的正确率大大提高，以前不断用语法规则分析还做错的题，现在自然而然地就能做对。

更重要的是，经过不断模仿锻炼出来的完美发音，会让人刮目相看，成为你一生学习英语的永恒动力。

2 基础稍差的同学 单词识记朗读法

对于英语基础薄弱的同学，困难集中体现在单词量不够，单选中的句子看不懂，更别提完型、阅读乃至综合填空了。所以，针对这种情况，我们要做的是温故而不是知新。

这样识记单词可以按照模块进行，然后为了巩固单词，再把前面这个模块的课文大声朗读3到5遍，在这个过过程中加深对单词的理解记忆，可以每天进行一到两个模块的内容。

如果你能在开学之前将前四册的单词混个“脸儿熟”，那么你在初三的英语学习中将感到前所未有的轻松，并逐渐体会到阅读的快乐。

3 水平较高的同学 报纸杂志快速朗读法

对于这样的同学来说，课本的内容不会给他们造成困难，也无法满足他们的胃口。所以，假期给他们提供了一个进行“野蛮的原始积累”，从而达到“迅速扩张，建立霸权”的契机。

英语水平较高的同学，记忆新单词对于他们来说不费吹灰之力。他们可以选取一些难度较高、生词量较多的报纸杂志上的文章，进行大声、快速的朗读。

比方说，可以订一份China Daily，将上面头版头条的文章或是自己感兴趣的报道反复朗读，一定要达到快速不停顿的朗读，这样才有练习的效果;生词可以积累在单词本上。

这样一来，不仅积累了大量生词，快速的朗读也使你潜移默化形成了快速的英语思维和良好的语感，你会发现中考的阅读对你来说简直是小儿科。而且，你还了解了许多新闻、时事、奇闻轶事，这才是我们学习一门语言的真正目的。

以上三种方法，同学们可以根据自身情况，选择适合自己的方法。一旦选择了一种方法，务必坚持每天不打折扣地执行。

为了坚定大家的学习信念，我想给大家讲一个关于英语学习的真实故事。我的外公今年94岁了，他上中学学习英语时曾很吃力，有一年的期末考试没有及格。他下定决心改变这种情况。于是他在暑假订了一份英文报纸，每天早晨4点钟起床，开始疯狂朗读报纸上的文章，坚持了一个暑假。开学后，他一跃成为班里英语成绩第一名。他把这段经历称为“一个暑假的胜利”。这个故事很普通，绝对比不上那些天花乱坠的励志口号。但从中可以看出，英语是可以突击的，这就需要我们利用短时间，有一定强度地打磨英语。愿大家都能取得“一个暑假的胜利”。最后，送上英语学习的八字箴言：模仿至上，背诵为王。

I have a dream.Compared toMartin Luther King’s, my dream is very

small.Iwant to be a teacher in the future.And then I can have a two long

vacations fortraveling.I can travel around the world.I can go America, Canada,

New York,New Zealand, Hong Kong, Beijing, Shanghai and so on.It’s perfect.Yes,

goingtravel around the world is my dream.Even I want to go to the moon

fortravel.

Today, the New Year.Everybody in new clothes, with new hats.Each family affixed to the couplet.When the sky was just fainted, people crackled with firecrackers.Today, every family eats jiaozi and tangyuan, which symbolizes the circle and happiness of the group.After breakfast, I went to the New Year with the adults, and the adults always gave the children a lot of candy and lucky money, and I couldnt fit in my pocket.

When we finished, my mother took us to the park. The park was busy and crowded.We had a great time.If only on the New Years day, how nice would it be?

今天，过新年。大家穿新衣，带新帽。每家每户贴对联。天刚朦朦亮，人们就噼里啪啦地放起了鞭炮。今天的早饭家家户户都吃饺子和汤圆，象征着团团圆圆，美满幸福。吃完早饭，我和大人一起去拜年，大人们总是给孩子们很多的糖果和压岁钱，我的口袋都装不下了。

我们拜完年，妈妈带我们去公园里玩，公园里人来人往，十分拥挤。我们玩的很开心。要是在新年的这一天过生日，那该多好呀?

家的温馨，并不是美剧中的“我爱你”，而是普通言语背后包裹的真心。无论是什么方式表达出，真心，真情，足矣。——题记

你们家洗碗的人是谁？我们家，最后吃完饭的人洗碗！为此，我们三只想来想去，天天机关算尽。

丰盛的晚餐。“来，这是海带汤。”妈妈笑嘻嘻地递汤给我。若以为她是贤妻良母，错！此人心思缜密，号称“军师。”这不，她正一脸坏笑得递汤给我。

“嗯，爸爸，您先慢用！”我接过汤，顺水推舟递给老爸，不动声色地说。我在我们家也算“谋士”，但是，谋士只是谋士，我败北的几率还是很大，那两只太狡猾！

“哦？”爸爸递过汤，眼里露出狡黠的神色。此人城府极深，凭一张三寸不烂之舌拿天下琐事干扰，简称“话唠”。

“嗯，不错。”爸爸一饮而尽，不动声色地扒了一大口饭，说，“就是太……”

“太什么？”妈妈停下想快吃完饭的嘴，问道。借此机会，老爸又大扒一口饭，说：“咸了些。”

看到老爸碗里的饭所剩无几，“那你多吃些，你不是重口味吗？”妈妈说完，望着爸爸碗里不多的米饭，意味深长地笑了一声，夹了一大堆菜。老爸意料不到，叫苦连迭。

“是啊是啊，老爸要多吃点。”我也顺水推舟，加了一堆肉。爸爸面对我的助阵不慌不忙，狡黠地“哼”了一声，说了一个故事：“从前，有一个村子，有一个神父，还有一个美丽的姑娘叫小芳，有一天……”爸爸有声有色地说到这里，戛然而止，使劲往嘴里扒饭，却只字不提。我听得正入迷，不满爸爸不说下去。我停下嘴“眈眈相向”，半响，才想起“家规”。我大惊，又疑心和我一方的老妈怎么不开口“助战”？我望去，老妈的碗里已空空如也，才发现爸爸说故事，“盖以诱敌”！

“好呀！你们是一伙的……我愤愤叫道，但想想妈妈这一周工作很忙，该放松放松。想到这里，我心宽了许多，吃饭的速度也慢了下来。再看看老爸也慢条斯理，八成也想到一块去了。我们俩相视了一会儿，会心地笑了。

星星点灯，厨房里传来我和爸爸爽朗的笑声……

People native to urban Beijing speak the Beijing dialect, which belongs to

the Mandarin subdivision of spoken Chinese. Beijing dialect is the basis for

Standard Mandarin, the language used in the Peoples Republic of China, the

Republic of China on Taiwan, and Singapore. Rural areas of Beijing Municipality

have their own dialects akin to those of Hebei province, which surrounds Beijing

Municipality.

Beijing Opera, or Peking Opera (Jingju), is well-known throughout the

national capital. Commonly lauded as one of the highest achievements of Chinese

culture, Beijing Opera is performed through a combination of song, spoken

dialogue, and codified action sequences, such as gestures, movement, fighting

and acrobatics. Much of Beijing Opera is carried out in an archaic stage dialect

quite different from modern Standard Mandarin and from the Beijing dialect; this

makes the dialogue somewhat hard to understand, and the problem is compounded if

one is not familiar with Chinese. As a result, modern theaters often have

electronic titles in Chinese and English.

A hutong in eastern Beijing near Dongsishitiao. In this March 2003 photo

the left side was still standing, but it has since given way to new

construction.The Siheyuan is a traditional architectural style of Beijing. A

siheyuan consists of a square housing compound, with rooms enclosing a central

courtyard. This courtyard often contains a pomegranate or other type of tree, as

well as potted flowers or a fish tank. Siheyuans line Hutongs , or alleys, which

connect the interior of Beijings old city. They are usually straight and run

east-to-west so that doorways can face north and south for Feng Shui reasons.

They vary in width — some are very narrow, enough for only a few pedestrians to

pass through at a time.

Once ubiquitous in Beijing, siheyuans and hutongs are now rapidly

disappearing, as entire city blocks of hutongs are leveled and replaced with

high-rise buildings. Residents of the hutongs are entitled to apartments in the

new buildings of at least the same size as their former residences. Many

complain, however, that the traditional sense of community and street life of

the hutongs cannot be replaced. Some particularly historic or picturesque

hutongs are being preserved and restored by the government, especially for the

2008 Olympics. One such example can be seen at Nanchizi.

Mandarin cuisine is the local style of cooking in Beijing. Peking Roast

Duck is perhaps the most well-known dish. The Manhan Quanxi ("Manchu-Han Chinese

full banquet") is a traditional banquet originally intended for the

ethnic-Manchu emperors of the Qing Dynasty; it remains very prestigious and

expensive.

Teahouses are also common in Beijing. Chinese tea comes in many varieties

and some rather expensive types of Chinese tea are said to cure an ailing body

extraordinarily well.

The Jingtailan is a cloisonné metalworking technique and tradition

originating from Beijing, and one of the most revered traditional crafts in

China. Beijing lacquerware is well known for the patterns and images carved into

its surface.

The Fuling Jiabing is a traditional Beijing snack food, a pancake (bing)

resembling a flat disk with filling, made from fu ling (Poria cocos (Schw.)

Wolf, or "tuckahoe"), an ingredient common in traditional Chinese medicine.

Study has been an important part of our life. I study hard in school and

even I graduate, I still keep reading books. Reading books not only brings me

the knowledge, but also happiness. The knowledge I learn will be the greatest

treasure of my life.

The basic things I learn from books teach me the way to see the world. When

I was very small, I fell in love with reading. I read cartoon books, then I

learn more about the world. For example, I know more about sports and the

different culture of areas. So I know the diversity of the world. When I have

conflict with others, I try to understand them instead of arguing with them.

The books show me the way to solve problems. I read about many inspiring

stories about how great people get success. So when I meet difficulties, I tell

myself not to give up, failure is the mother of success. So I can get over the

difficulties and become stronger.

Study has been the long-life career for me and I enjoy the wisdom I

get.

People often say that friends are priceless. So it is certain that

friendship is very important. The following are the examples of myself to

explain this opinion.

Friends share happiness, which makes us delightful. For example, one of my

best classmates, Cloud, when she told me she got a good mark and was in the top

ten. Before I replied she said again, "Because you are my best friend, I want to

share the good news with you at the first time". Hearing that, I knew she was

happier after she told me. At that time we were two happy birds flying in the

sky. In a word, friends play with me in my spare time that let me feel needed.

They always keep company with me when I am depressed. But they don’t do whatever

I want. Sometimes they are against with me while they think I am wrong. I still

remember once I quarreled with my math teacher. At last, it was my friends made

me realize my fault, and then solved the entire problem smoothly.

In my opinion, friends are one of the most important people in our life. We

can’t live without friends. It is valuable for everyone.

In China, there is a saying that the children who live in the countryside areEarly-maturing, it is not about the physiology, it is about the mentality. The reason for the children being premature is various. Some children live in an unhappy family, such their parents get divorced or their parents don’t get along with each other. Living in such a family, the children will not grow up in a normal way, they will have sad feelings and become to know more about the unlucky things. Some children who live in the country need to take more responsibility, because their parents work in the big cities, so the children have to take care of themselves and also learn to do the house work. It is not good for the children to be early-maturing, they should grow up step by step, the parents need to give more care on the kids.

在中国，有一句话，农村的孩子早当家，这不是说生理上的，而是说心里上的。造成孩子早熟的原因有很多。一些孩子生活在不幸福的家庭，比如他们的父母离婚或者他们的父母相处不好。生活在这样的家庭，孩子不会正常的长大，他们会感到悲伤，了解更多不幸的事情。一些住在农村的孩子需要承担更多的责任，因为他们的父母在大城市打工，所以孩子需要照顾自己，也要学着去做家务。孩子早熟是不好的，他们应该一步一步地成长，家长需要给予孩子更多的关爱。
