The day before yesterday, the front wheel of my bike burst the tire, a tack of the ghost, I thought I accidentally got it. Yesterday, the back wheel of my bicycle also exploded, and it was a ghost of a tack. I doubted it very much.

I must buy a bag of tacks, and every man who makes my car will put their car in a tack and let them try the taste of the walking car.

That is, my mother spent a lot of money, is to repair the car frame!

Since we were born, we are meant to face the stage of study and work until

we retire, which seems everybody does the same thing in their life. They start

to wonder about the meaning of life. In my opinion, the meaning of life lies in

study and finding the right place.

Study comes first for human being. Since we learn the knowledge, we get to

know about the world. The more we learn, the more we want to search for the

unknown knowledge. The world is beautiful because of diversity, and there are so

many amazing scenery waiting for us to discover. At the process of searching the

knowledge, we also become mature and have our own thinking.

Finding the place in the world is the basic task for us. The purpose of

knowledge is to master some skills, so as to get accustomed to the world and

know what we want to do and what we can bring to the world. The value we create

can bring happiness to people we love and make a contribution to the world.

Life is short, but we keep searching all the time.

I seem to recall best a journey we made by tram one winter night.

We were going to visit my Granny at Westoe, and I was very excited, because an evening excursion was something quite unheard of for me. It had been raining; the gas lamps lit the gleaming pavements and cobbles with a doubled radiance. The shaking tram wires were sending down showers of white raindrops. Everything in the ram seemed fresh and glittering. The breezy windows sparkled with long zigzags of rain and the passing street lamp flared gorgeously through the panels of blue and yellow and ruby glass. Outside, it was cold and windy, and we could feel the gale buffeting against the side of the tram, making it sway and lurch ore than usual, and throwing the passengers of song, and the fresh, clean, cold sea-wind was blowing right through the upper deck. Above, a high half-moon seemed to be skidding along on its back through piles of black, white-lined rags. It was a wild night, with a sense of magic in the offing. The people in the tram did not like ordinary mortals; a kind of exhilaratinggaietyhadseizedthem,anditseseememed to lighten their bodies and illuminate their faces. At times I was sure we were really flying.

你登过泰山吗 你在泰山顶上看过日出吗

Have you ever put you on the top of the Taishan Taishan seeing the sunrise it

暑假里,妈妈带着我去了雄伟的泰山.当我们登上泰山最高峰的时候,已经是晚霞满天了.东岳泰山是世界自然遗产之一,有许多名人在这里留下了笔墨.其中最著名的是杜甫的"会当凌绝顶,一览众山小".晚上,我们住在了山顶上.

During the summer vacation, my mother took me to the mighty Taishan. When we boarded the Taishan peak, is already sunset sky. Taishan mountain is one of the world natural heritage, there are many famous people left a pen here. The most famous is the Du Fu "would be extremely Ling, list of small hills." evening, we live in the top of the hill.

第二天一早,妈妈就把我从睡梦中叫醒了.这时候,天空上刚刚泛着白色,还有几颗星星在闪烁着.导游告诉我们,东边那颗最亮的星星是启明星.这时已经有许多人聚在日出崖上了.东方的天边越来越红,照得云姑娘的脸通红通红的.我们屏住呼吸,等待着,等待着."出来啦!出来啦!"太阳露出了头,在我们的欢呼声中,太阳从地平线上蹦了出来,光芒四射,照亮了整个大地.

The very next day early in the morning, my mother woke me from my sleep. At this time, the sky was suffused with white, and there are few stars gleamed. The tour guide told us, the heart is the brightest star of star. Now many people gather at sunrise cliff. The eastern horizon more red cloud, as the girls face flushed red. We hold our breath, waiting, waiting. "Out! Out!" the sun exposed head, in our cheers, the sun from the horizon jumped out, shine, illuminate the whole earth.

啊!泰山的日出真美啊!这将是我最难忘的暑假回忆!

Oh! Taishan sunrise is very beautiful! This will be my most memorable summer memories!

一年四季

一年有四季，每个季节有三个月，每个季节的气候都不一样。生命的轮回由四季控制。

第一个季度是春季。春季的三个月为三月、四月和五月。在这段时间里，天气温暖、晴朗，万物复苏。冬眠的动物们也醒过来了，农民们开始忙农活。

第二个季节是夏季，包括六月、七月和八月。天气非常热，而且老是下雨。人们能游泳、观光。夏季也是万物生长的好时候。

第三个季节是秋季，三个月分别是九月、十月和十一月。天 气越来越凉，树叶开始飘落。这是一个收获的季节。

最后一个季节是冬季，这一季包括十二月、一月和二月。天气非常冷，大多数植物都死了。有时候还下雪，人们可以滑冰和滑雪。但是冬天不会太长，因为春天马上就要来临了。

“当，当，当……”八点都已经敲过了，我还躺在被窝里不肯起来，妈妈催过三四遍，让我起床。我总是推说构思作文，赖着不起。大约8：30的时候，我才赖洋洋地起来。为什么呢?因为有一个“龙珠”的儿童节目，否则，我才不起床呢!

"When, when, when..." Eight points have been struck, I was lying in bed, the mother hurried over three or four times, let me wake up. I always pleaded that organic composition, hang up. At about 8:30, when I was up. Why? Because there is a "dragon" of the childrens program, otherwise, I dont get it!

我刚坐下，立即就像磁铁一样，被电视机吸住了，直到妈妈把电视关掉，我才去做作业。刚做完英语，我就拿起一本《环游地球80天》，看了一会，我就被它迷住了，内容和书名都那就是说吸引力。

Hardly had I sat down immediately, like a magnet attracted by the TV, turn off the TV, until my mother, I have to do the homework. Just finished my English, so I picked up a book "around the world in 80 days", look for a while, I was fascinated by it, content and title that is attractive.

看完这本书，已经晚上六点了。呀!真遭糕，我的作业还没写完，作文一个字也没写呢!我急急忙忙地列提纲，起草稿，还没动笔就被妈妈叫去吃饭。等我起好草稿，已经二十一点半了。我的眼皮也开始打架了，可作文还没写好呢!我只好强忍着困倦，打起精神写下去，二十二点半，我终于写好作文了。我想了想，一天的时间这么快就过去了，如果不抓紧，就得火烧眉毛似的“开夜车”…..

After reading this book, it is six. Ah! Really bad, I havent finished the homework, the composition didnt write a word! I hurriedly outline, drafting, also didnt write my mother was called to dinner. When I got up notes, its twenty-one thirty. My eyes began to fight, but the composition has yet to be written!

唉，我的一天!

Oh, my day!

In the morning, as the alarm rings, came on Sunday.

Our family still snoring sleep on the bed, doing their own dreams. Suddenly, my eyes, "shua" of the open, pinching nose a few parents, see they are still in sleep, I will put a pillow in the bed and get up to watch TV. When I see it with relish, a voice from behind me: "FeiBin." Frighten me to jump up. Turned out to be a mother, "look very beautiful wow!"

早上，随着闹铃的响起，星期天来临了。

我们一家仍在床上鼾睡，做着各自的美梦。突然，我的眼睛“唰”的一下睁开，捏捏几下爸妈的鼻子，见他们还在睡，我便在被窝里放块枕头，起床看电视。正当我看得津津有味时，一个声音从我背后响起：“费彬。”吓得我跳了起来。原来是妈妈，“看得很美哇!”我知道妈妈下来要说什么，“嗖”的一声拿着五块钱去买擀面皮。回家时我已气喘吁吁，上气不接下气，妈妈却说：“我不是说我要米皮吗?”，我晕倒了。

下午，写作业时，手上在写作业，魂已去环游世界，游完了后，回头看了看题，却不知从何写起。拿出小人书看一会后，东瞅瞅、西望望，没有一点想写作业的心思。忽然妈妈进来了，我立马加快速度，一秒一题飞速完成。等妈妈走后，便又继续刚才的计划。

晚上，电视成了我的地盘，我看着电视节目，好快活啊!

睡觉以后，我在梦中打游戏，唱流行歌，成了大名星，人人都找我签名，手都签麻了。

我喜欢星期天!

Youth has been praised by many people. They believe that it is the most

precious time of ones lifetime, because youth stands for young age and energy.

So we should cherish youth and do whatever we like. In my opinion, when we are

young, the first thing we need to do is to fight for our future. So we spend a

lot of time studying and gain much knowledge. The store of knowledge helps us

solve all kinds of problems. When we have enough ability, we are no longer

afraid of meeting difficulties. The second thing we need to do is to broaden our

vision. As we are young and full of energy, it is the best time to see more

scenery. Dont wait for retirement to explore the world. What we see will make

us mature and stronger. Lets enjoy the beautiful youth.

Everybody knows that there is serious problem of water pollution on the earth. Yes, water pollution is increasing.

Look! The water in the river is getting dirtier and dirtier. Most of fish in the water have died, and we can’t swim in the water.

My grandfather says, when he was very little, the water in the river was very clean. He often swam in the river with his friends.

That was before, but now we can’t see such clean rivers. Let’s protect the water from pollution, because we can’t live without water. The water is really important to us all.

My New Life

This summer, I move to a new city with my parents, and I transfer to a new school. I used to live in the countryside, so my new life is so different from before. The school is a little far from my home, so I go to school by bus. After school, I have many activities in school. Classmates are friendly to me. I learn English now. It’s so interesting that I like it very much. Besides, life in city is different. There are many interesting places to go. At weekends, my parents take me outside. We go to the park, the zoo or go shopping. But we are not so familiar with our neighbors. I think we should build good relationship with them.

【参考译文】

这个夏天，我和爸爸妈妈搬到了一个新的城市生活，我也转到了新的学校上学。以前，我住在乡下，所以我现在的生活和以前有很大不同。学校离我的家稍远，所以我要坐公交车去上学。课后，我在学校有很多活动。同学们对我也很有好。现在我开始学英语了，这门课程很有趣，我很喜欢。另外，在城市里的生活也很不一样，有很多好玩的地方可以去。周末，我的爸爸妈妈常常带我出去。我们去公园、动物园，或者去购物。但是我们和邻居们不是很熟悉，我觉得我们应该建立良好的关系。

The Mid-Autumn Festival is a very important Chinese festival. It’s on the fifth of August. We can hang lanterns in the house. In the evening,we have a big dinner. Look,there is lots of food on the table. They are chicken,fish,crabs and so on. They’re very delicious. We can drink a glass of juice.

We stand beside the table and we say,“Cheers,cheers,happy Mid-Autumn Festival!” We make a wish to each other. At night,the moon is usually round and bright. It looks like a ball. We can enjoy the moon. Moon cakes are the special food for this festival. We can eat moon cakes,too. In the Mid-Autumn Festival,my parents and I are all very happy and excited.

中秋节是一个非常重要的中国节日。它是在八月五日。我们可以在家里挂灯笼。晚上，我们有一个很大的晚餐。看，桌子上有很多食物。他们是鸡肉，鱼，蟹等等。它们非常好吃。我们可以喝一杯果汁。

我们站在桌子旁边说：“干杯，欢呼，中秋节快乐!”我们每个人都希望在晚上，月亮通常是圆的，明亮的。它看起来像一个球。我们可以享受月亮。月饼是这个节日的特殊食物。我们也可以吃月饼。在中秋节，我的父母和我都很开心和兴奋。

俗话说：“春雨贵如油。”昨天晚上，这“油”好似仙界中的甘露，轻轻地撒向大地。

午夜，一阵“沙沙，沙沙”声在耳边回荡，把我吵醒，我不禁感到莫名其妙，好奇地披上衣服，走到窗户边，“呀，下雨了!”这可是今年的第一场春雨。“沙沙，沙沙”声令我辗转难眠，浮现在我眼前的不是那漆黑如墨的夜，而是大地一片葱绿的景色。

早晨，我打开窗户，一股清香的空气扑面而来，雨点像断了线的珍珠，一滴一滴地掉在雨水汇成的水洼上面，顿时，水面上漾起了几圈圆形的涟漪。此时雨又大了，雨点像一根细细的绣花针撒在每个角落：高楼大厦，树木房屋，都被春雨洗刷得一尘不染，小草经春雨滋润显得生机勃勃，春意盎然。此时，雨点连在一起像一张网，挂在我眼前，世间万物得以滋润。

雨停了，太阳公公悄悄地拨开云雾，露出了红彤彤的脸庞。你看那白色的樱花，黄色的迎春花。它们经过春雨的滋润，更加色彩鲜艳，呈现出那娇小生命的美丽，小小的花盘隐藏着无数的纯情。

小草儿伸伸懒腰，慢慢地抬起头来，脸上挂着露珠，绿得直逼你的眼。树上细嫩的枝条被雨淋得向下弯垂，叶尖上不时地滴着水珠。一阵轻风吹来，迎着清晨的阳光，显出珍珠般亮丽的晶莹。

燕子一只只在蓝天上同白云戏耍，引动无数的人仰望天穹，让自己的心也飞上天空。

晚上，我做了一个梦，梦见自己变成一滴小小的雨点，投向大地的怀抱。

现在放假了，所以我也制定了我的暑假计划。

首先制做我的暑假作息时间表。

第一、每天早上5:30起床洗刷、穿衣服、吃饭。5:40去跑步。一直到8:00才开始看书、写作业。然后9:40—11:50去学英语。12:00去吃饭，12:30去睡午觉。14:30去游泳(锻炼身体嘛)

It has been witnessed that since the coming of the cell phone, it has been developed so fast, thanks to the high technology, today, the function of cell phone improves a lot, some even can equal to the computer.

人们已经见证了自从手机的诞生，手机发展得很快，多亏了高科技，今天，手机的功能提高了很多，一些手机甚至可以比得上电脑。人们喜欢换手机，因为他们想要有更多的功能，但是一些青少年在追求换手机的道路上失去了理智。他们想要买最新的手机，这样就可以炫耀。最近，据报道，一个男孩子为了买一台iPhone而去卖肾，这是多么令人震惊啊，男孩为了新手机卖掉了自己的健康。人们应该理智对待手机，他们需要弄清楚所有的手机都具有共同的基本功能，一些新产品的功能几乎都一样。他们应该根据自己的情况来衡量是否买新手机。

My father is a man of devotion. Every morning he gets up the earliest to make breakfast for us. In the evening, he is always the late to come back home. At weekends, he always takes us to go outing in his car. He is a man of few words, but he often says to me "A little learning is a dangerous thing". I will always remember these words.

I love my father very much.

我父亲是一名男子的献身精神。每天早上他起床最早，使我们的早餐。在晚上，他总是晚回来的家。在周末，他总是需要我们去郊游，在他的车。他是一名男子的几句话，但他常说，给我“有点学习是一个危险的事” 。我将永远记得这些话。

From the sixteenth of January to the seventh of February is our Winter Holiday. I think everybody did a lot of things in the Winter Holiday. But I didn’t. Let you to listen to my story of Winter Holiday.

I spend a lot of time on the homework.. Every day in my Winter Holiday, I always got up late. then I listened to the tape, it was nine o’clock. then I ate breakfast and then I did my homework during the daytime! I’m not very slow but the homework was too heavy!

I’m unlucky on the playing too. I played firecracker but I hurt my finger with the fire. I ‘m careless to kindle the firecracker, so I’m very unlucky.

I still unlucky on my friend’s party. In the morning, I wanted to get up early but I woke up at 10:50. After ten minutes, the party would start! So I only eat a piece of bread then I go to my friend’s home! And I stay at his home for a long time when I came home. My mother and father were very angry and they scolded me!

I’m worried and feel unlucky on my weigh. Last term, I was 48 kilogram but now I am 51 kilogram! I must to do banting!

But most important, I have gone to Shanghai Ocean Aquarium, I want to go there very much because I want to see the horse, the monkey……in the sea. Now I’ve done it . It is a bright dot in my Winter Holiday.

Spring are not always the same.In some years,April bursts upon Virginia hills in one prodigious leap-and all the stage is filled at once,whole choruses of tulips,arabesques of forsythia,cadenzas of flowering plum.The trees grow leaves overnight.

春天并不总是相同的。在一些年，四月爆发在弗吉尼亚的小山丘一个健步跨越所有的阶段，顿时，满山遍野的郁金香，连翘，榆叶梅华彩。一夜之间叶成林。

In other years,spring tiptoes in.It pauses,overcome by shyness,like my grandchild at the door,peeping in,ducking out of sight,giggling in the hallway."I know you are out there,"I cry."Come in”And April slips into our arms.

在其他年份，春天踮着脚。它停了下来，克服羞怯，喜欢在家门口，我的孙子在偷窥，避开视线，在走廊里咯咯地笑。“我知道你在那里，我哭了。“进来”和四月潜入我们的武器。

The dogwood bud, pale green,is inlaid with russet markings.Within the perfect cup a score of clustered seeds are nestled.One examines the bud in awe:Where were those seeds a month ago?The apples display their milliners scraps of ivory silk,rose-tinged.All the sleeping things wake it,feel it, crumble April in your hands.

山茱萸的花蕾，淡绿色，镶着赤褐色的斑纹。在完美的杯偎依着一丛种子。不禁要惊羡地问一句：一个月前，这些种子还在哪儿呢?苹果显示器的女帽乳白色丝缎，rose-tinged.all沉睡的东西唤醒它，感受它，在手中赏玩四月。

Look to the rue anemone,if you will,or the pea patch,or to the stubborn weed that thrusts its shoulders through a city street.This is how it was,is now,and ever shall be, the world without end.In the serene certainty of spring recurring,who fear the distant fall?

看看白头翁花，如果你愿意，或豌豆畦，或是那倔强地在城市的街道上。这是怎么回事，现在是，并且永远都是，没有结束的世界。春去春又来，谁害怕遥远的秋天呢?

Cellular phones have had a major impact on our lives and the way that we

perform every day tasks. Many of these changes are apparent, while others we may

not even be aware of.

Cell phones have brought a whole new meaning to the term multitasking.

Twenty years ago, it was not possible to talk to the office while you were at

the grocery store picking up some necessary items. You could never have had a

three-way business conference while you were fixing dinner or been able to deal

with a business client from home while caring for a sick child. Cell phones have

enabled us to do various tasks all at the same time.

Cell phones have also enabled families to keep in closer touch with each

other. Children can contact you if they have missed their ride form soccer

practice and your spouse can call while he is stuck in traffic to let you know

that he is going to be late for supper. Teenagers are able to call to ask

permission to go somewhere, and with GPS features that are now available on some

cell phones, you are able to check to make sure that they are where they are

suppose to be.

Many of these advantages we do not even notice. Have you ever arrived at

the grocery store and realized that you have forgotten your grocery list? The

first thing you would probably do is to call home and have one of your children

read the list off to you. In the same situation in past years, you may have

forgotten things or have had to drive all the way back home to get it. If your

car breaks down, you automatically call for help instead of having to walk to

find a pay phone. Cell phones have certainly made our lives much more

convenient.

Cell phones have also changed the way that people interact with each other.

When we call someone, we are actually calling the person and not a place. This

enables us to be more spontaneous when making plans as you rarely get a busy

signal and unlike a land line telephone, someone is always home. Cell phones

also enable us to call if we are going to be late for an appointment, although

this has led to cell phone users running late more often than those who do not

have cell phones. These users seem to have adopted the attitude that appointment

times are not concrete and use their cell phones to renegotiate their arrival

time.

One of the greatest disadvantages of the cellular phone is the fact that we

do not talk to strangers when traveling anymore. In the past, several people

waiting for a bus would engage in a conversation while they were waiting. People

who traveled the same routes every day might develop friendships along the way.

This situation does not happen anymore. Today when people are waiting for a bus,

they just pull out their cell phones and speak with old friends, missing out on

the opportunity to make new ones. In large cities, many people do not know their

neighbors, even though they may have lived in the same neighborhood for years.

As a society, we are beginning to lose the face-to-face contact that was such an

important part of our lives in the past.

Cell phones are a great asset in aiding in our every day lives. You should

remember, however, to hang up every once in a while and pay attention to the

world around you.
