According to the Chinese tradition，at the very beginning of a new year，

when there is a bright full moon hanging in the sky， there should be thousands

of colorful lanterns hung out.

During the Lantern Festival， people will try to solve the puzzles on the

lanterns and eat yuanxiao (glutinous rice ball)。

In the Sui Dynasty in the sixth century， Emperor Yangdi invited envoys from

other countries to China to see the colorful lighted lanterns and enjoy the gala

performances.

By the beginning of the Tang Dynasty in the seventh century， the lantern

displays would last three days. The emperor also lifted the curfew， allowing the

people to enjoy the festive lanterns day and night.

In the Song Dynasty， the festival was celebrated for five days and the

activities began to spread to many of the big cities in China.

Today，3the displaying of lanterns is still a big event on the 15th day of

the first lunar month throughout China.

The fillings inside the dumplings or Yuansiao are either sweet or salty.

Sweet fillings are made of sugar，Walnuts，sesame，osmanthus flowers，rose petals，or

jujube paste etc. A single ingredient or any combination can be used as the

filling . The salty variety is filled with minced meat，vegetables etc.

Throughout history man has changed his physical environment in order to

improve his way of life。 With the tools of technology he has altered many

physical features of the earth。 He has transformed woodlands and prairies into

farms and made lakes and reserviors out of rivers for irrigation purposes or

hydroelectric power。 Man has also modified the face of the earth by draining

marshes and cutting through mountains to build roads and railways。

However， mans changes to the physical environment have not always had

beneficial results。 Today， pollution of the air and water is an increasing

danger to the health of the planet。 Each day thousands of tons of gases e out of

the exhausts of motor vehicles。 Smoke from factories pollutes the air of

industrialized areas and the surrounding areas of the countryside。 The pollution

of water is equally harmful。 The whole ecological balance of the sea is being

changed and industrial wastes have already made many rivers lifeless。

Now environmental protection is more pressing than ever before。 As we know，

massive destruction of environment has brought about negative effects and even

poses a great threat to mans existence。 Indifference to these problems will

mean mitting suicide。 Therefore， effective measures should be taken and laws

passed to conserve environment。 Otherwise，man is certain to suffer from the

serious consequences caused by this lack of care for his living

surroundings。

As the development of the society, people want to conquer the environment,

they use the high technology to change the environment, when people are

satisfied with what they did to the nature, the nature is starting to teach

human being a lesson. In the movie The Day After Tomorrow, people were in the

great disaster that caused by the greenhouse effect, it just like the end of the

world, there was no way for people to avoid such great disaster. The movie

reminds people of the result they did harm to the environment, it will revenge

people, people have to face the disaster. It is very important to protect the

environment, people should get along with the environment.

Recently, our efforts to protect wild animals was questioned by the public,

because the news is keep reporting that more and more wild animals was killed by

human beings, especially the very precious one. Innocent animals was dead for

their meat, fur and tooth, it was just used to fill up human beings desire. In

my point of view, the wild animals were protected effectively still has a long

way to go.

Firstly, people should try harder to make a better place for animals. The

land where the wild animals live was deprived by human being. For hundreds

years, people cut the trees to make land for their living and farming, wild

animals homeland was took, they have no choice but run away. What is more,

human beings break the food link in nature; wild animals can not find enough

food to keep alive. There is no doubt that the destruction of nature has become

a big problem to kill wild animal, for instance, a polar bear was starved to

death because of the greenhouse effect, the ice was melt away, the seadog and

fish that polar bear like to eat are far away from them. For those reasons,

people should protect the environment first if they want to protect wild animals

effectively.

Second, no buying, no killing. Some rich people like to wear fur coat, they

treat it as a status symbol, especially for rich woman, they think animal fur is

beautiful and warm, they will never consider that the fur they wear for years is

the skin that animal wear for their whole life, and they knew how bloody when

people took the fur from animal but they choose to ignore it. If people do not

buy the fur and tooth, lots of wild animals will be survived.

In sum, wild animals are our friends, we should give back and protect their

homeland, and stop buying their body part, or our future generations will see

them in zoo and museum.

Thanks to my parents, I have been to many places. I feel so lucky to

witness the scenery by my eyes. I love to travel since I was very small. I have

made up my mind that I must continue my journey on my own. As I grow up, I have

planned some trips and learned a lot.

Travel helps me to be independent. For many people, they trend to travel by

groups, which is very convenient. The companies plan everything for them, and

they just need to follow the schedules. But as for me, I only enjoytraveling

freely, so I will scan a lot of information and select the useful message. I

learn the history and culture of the countries and get to know all kinds of

applications.

The most important thing of travel is to broaden my vision. When my friends

talk about the beautiful places from the textbook, I will tell them that I have

been there and can give them my opinion. The way I talk and the knowledge I

offer to them make me stand out and I am so proud of myself.

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.

Each year, people burn or cut down 143,000 square kilometers (55,000 square

miles) of the forest. People who burn or cut down trees do it for different

reasons: farmers cut down trees in order to get more fertilize lands to grow

rice or vegetables, and use the woods as fuel. Timber companies cut down trees

and turn them into furniture or paper productions. As to goal miners, they

remove the forests to find out whether there are goal underground.

However, many of us fail to realize that forests are the lungs of the

earth. When we cut down trees, we also push ourselves in to a dangerous

situation. That is the global warming. When you come to think about it, there

are only few ways to solve these negative effects: stop cutting down trees

blindly; try to find some clear energy that can replace oil and coal. But these

solutions can be impractical to some degreed.

Why trees can be so important to the whole nature? First of all, trees are

the habitat of many animals. When we cut down trees, we not only destroy

animals’ habitats but also ourselves. We just gradually destroy natural links.

The result is that many spices of animals and plants are dying out. Secondly,

cutting down trees cause global warming, to some degree. Naturalists compare

forest to human’s lungs. The forests absorb the carbon dioxide and other gas

that cause global warming, and then give off the oxygen that good for the human

beings and other living creatures. It’s refreshed the air as well as reduced the

noise. If the air quality is bad, people may die from cancers, or the new

diseases for which they have no immunity. Forests also play an important role in

the prevention of natural disasters. Warmer temperatures cause water to expand

and also create more water by melting polar ice caps. That’s to say, the nations

which near the ocean may have been flooded by the water. But the forests can

prevent water loss and soil erosion, and cool off the global temperatures. It’s

the key to keep the balance of the nature.

Sometimes people only care about money making; they don’t care about the

price we pay for the pollution. When the disaster is around the corner, we may

be afraid and frustrated. The earth, on which our economies have always been

based, is suddenly threatening our existence. All we hope that is this

overpopulated, over industrialized planet can carry on for a longer time. And

maybe, it’s time for us to realize that we should protect the earth, stop

cutting down trees blindly and madly.

What is healthy diet? To the most people, healthy diet means more green foods, no junk foods. The green food is those pollution-free, high quality and nutrient food, including the organic vegetables and meats, fruits, eggs and so on. The meals of healthy diet should be cooked with fewer salt and oil. And the junk food is those low nutrition, high calorie, processed food with much salt or oil, such as the fries, fried chickens, salted eggs and so on. These foods will cause one get weight and increase the risk of many diseases. We should keep a healthy diet, abandon the junk food to keep ourselves healthy.

什么是健康饮食?对于大多数人来说，健康饮食就意味着多吃绿色食品，不要吃垃圾食品。绿色食品就是那些无污染、高品质和营养的食物，包括有机蔬菜和肉类、水果、鸡蛋等等。健康饮食的膳食应该用更少的盐和油制作。而垃圾食品是指那些低营养、高热量、再加工的高盐重油食品，例如薯条、炸鸡和咸蛋等等。这些食品会导致一个人发胖，并增加疾病的风险。为了保持健康，我们应该保持健康饮食，抛弃垃圾食品。

He always rose early to enjoy at least two hours of solitude in the house

and garden before the rest of the family came down In winter he spent most of

the time reading and writing. In sum mer he liked to get out of doors to work in

the kitchen garden or to take the dog for a walk in the neighbouring woods and

fields Whatever the weather, there was plenty to occupy him.

neat, clean and conventional. He liked to keep fit, and this was reflected in

his clear, steady blue eyes and healthy suntanned complexion. He hardly ever

watched TV, but enjoyed a good film and an occasional evening at the

theatre.

Study has been the necessary part of humans life. Many students take it as

their duty and they dont realize the meaning of study. Most people believe that

the purpose of study is to master some skills and make money. This is the basic

function of education. I believe that the further meaning is to teach people the

way of thinking. If there are two jobs, one is to sell pastry for 12 hours, and

the other one is to work in the office for 8 hours, but the former can earn

double income. The young people will surely take the second job, because they

need more private time to do their own things. They have more things to chase

besides making the ends meet.

"Green" the eternal topic, let us better to understand the importance of

environmental protection.

Green environmental protection is to make us live a happy life in a clean

environment, however, the environment around us in a worse if we dont alarm,

protect the environment, he ride a bike from now on, he thought that not only

the exercise of his body, also for the green environmental protection.

My mother began to contribute to the green environmental protection. Before

she went to vegetable market to buy food, she used plastic bags, a village green

environmental protection propaganda on TV, she understood the green

environmental protection is sustainable, in order to we can have a better

environment. In order to we live healthier lives, so mom from that moment on,

every day go to vegetable market with the own basket, instead of plastic

bags.

As a new era of junior middle school students, and I will response to the

green environmental protection call for, I had at school are all use one off

chopsticks, but now I can bring their own chopsticks to school. I think, though

this is a small matter, but I do my responsibility.

Happiness of life to let China land everyone be permeated with happy smile,

rich products, long history, noble quality, the plot environment. Nowadays, the

environment is polluted, the green environmental protection starts from me, let

us together to protect the environment!

May 12th, 2008. That’s the most mournful day for our Chinese that will

never be forgotten, because a horrible earthquake happened in Wenchuan, which

caused tens of thousands of children’s death.

On hearing the news, I felt so sorrowful. “Why was the god so cruel to

them?” I asked. They were still at the entrance of the life. They seemed like

little eagles that were willing to open their wings and hover in the sky. Maybe

they would have their brilliant future. What a great loss to our nation! I had

my deepest sympathy on the people in the disastrous area. So I donated some

money and clothes to them. And I also prayed for the dead people sincerely. I

爱国心是通过实践而养成的一种眷恋故乡的感情。

Patriotism is a kind of nostalgic feeling formed through practice.

岁末年初，正当人们准备欢度春节之际，新型冠状病毒感染的肺炎疫情悄然而来，一场阻击病毒疫情的战斗也随之打响。在疫情爆发和防控危险时刻，总有一些我们不知道的无名英雄，他们以“逆行”的姿态为我们筑起一道坚固的“防护墙”，他们在打一场没有硝烟的疫情战，是一条永无退路并且必胜阻击战。他们，就是这个时代的最美逆行者。

Novel coronavirus infection is coming quietly at the beginning of the year,

just as people are ready to celebrate the Spring Festival. A battle against the

virus has also started. At the time of outbreak and prevention and control,

there are always some unknown heroes who build a solid "protective wall" for us

in a "retrograde" attitude. They are fighting an epidemic war without smoke of

gunpowder, which is a never-ending and inevitable resistance war. They are the

most beautiful rebels of this era.

抗击疫情，他是我们的“定海神针”

To fight against the epidemic, he is our "Dinghaishenzhen needle"

1月18日，钟南山院士从广州赶往武汉。1月19日从武汉又赶往北京，凌晨两点才睡觉。1月20日全国电视电话会议新闻发布会，媒体直播连线又是忙到深夜。实际上，钟南山院士一直活跃在科学前线，在来武汉之前，他也没有退休、没有安逸。他曾说：“医院是战场，作为战士，我们不冲上去谁上去?”他是无双国士，更是定海神针!根本就没有什么岁月静好，只是他和他的战友们冒着牺牲的危险替我们负重前行。

On January 18, academician Zhong Nanshan rushed to Wuhan from Guangzhou.

From Wuhan to Beijing on January 19, I went to bed at two oclock in the

morning. On January 20, at the national teleconference press conference, the

live media connection was busy late into the night. In fact, academician Zhong

Nanshan has been active in the front line of science. Before he came to Wuhan,

he didnt retire and have no comfort. He once said: "the hospital is the

battlefield, as soldiers, who dont we rush to?" he is the unparalleled

national, but also the sea god needle! There is no time to be quiet, but he and

his comrades risked the risk of sacrifice to carry forward for us.

抗击疫情，她是我们的“铁娘子”

To fight the epidemic, she is our "Iron Lady"

严丽，她是急诊科医护团队眼里的“铁娘子”。武汉发现新型肺炎后病人骤增，急诊科下夜班后，严丽还要去支援发热门诊，白天黑夜连轴转。”1月20日，严丽带着丈夫和孩子来到机场。临近登机时她却改变主意，决定重回医院，与同事们一起继续抗击新型肺炎，“去机场的路上心就慌慌的，回到医院内心才平静。”孩子不理解，抱着我哭，说我从来就没有兑现过承诺。严丽说，“不是觉得自己高尚，只觉得一线医护人员紧缺，自己一辈子没当过逃兵。这一次也不能离开。”哪有什么白衣天使，只不过是一群孩子换了身衣服，学着前辈的样子和死神抢人。

Yan Li, she is the "Iron Lady" in the eyes of the emergency department

medical team. After the discovery of new pneumonia in Wuhan, the number of

patients increased dramatically. After the night shift in the emergency

department, Yan Li had to go to the fever clinic to support the fever clinic.

She worked day and night. " On January 20, Yan Li arrived at the airport with

her husband and children. She changed her mind and decided to go back to the

hospital to fight against the new pneumonia with her colleagues The child didnt

understand, hugged me and cried, saying that I had never fulfilled my promise.

Yan Li said, "I dont think Im noble. I just feel that there is a shortage of

front-line medical staff. I havent been a deserter in my life. I cant leave

this time. " There is no angel in white, but a group of children changed their

clothes and learned how to rob people with death.

“苟利国家生死以，岂因祸福避趋之”。防疫战场上医护人员那一张张印着红指印的请战书;新闻里笑容腼腆的女护士朴素的语言：“只要穿上白大褂就不害怕了......”武汉医生与家人隔离，白发老母亲隔门叮嘱时的眼泪;除夕夜，各地医护人员紧急集结赴武汉和家人告别时的拥抱;大年三十返岗生产口罩的工人;《爱是桥梁》，春晚的节目为武汉而改变......

"For the sake of the countrys life and death, do you avoid it because of

misfortunes and blessings?". On the battlefield of epidemic prevention, the

doctors letter of invitation printed with red fingers; the plain language of

the female nurse with a shy smile in the news: "as long as you put on the white

coat, you will not be afraid..." Wuhan doctors are separated from their

families, and the tears of the old mother with white hair when she is told by

the door; on New Years Eve, medical staff from all over the world gather to

Wuhan to say goodbye to their families; those who return to work on the 30th of

the new year to produce masks Workers; love is a bridge, the program of Spring

Festival Gala changes for Wuhan

每当看到电视上那些一身白色“戎装”，战斗在防疫第一线的白衣战士,我就充满虔敬,他们视疫情为敌情,把医院当战场,在没有硝烟的战斗中舍生忘死,以大无畏的精神和钢铁般的意志,谱写了一曲曲光辉壮丽的人生赞歌。

Every time I see those white soldiers in military uniform fighting in the

front line of epidemic prevention on TV, I am full of piety. They regard the

epidemic situation as the enemy, regard the hospital as the battlefield, and

forget to die in the fight without gunpowder smoke. With the spirit of

fearlessness and the will of steel, they compose a glorious and magnificent hymn

of life.

哪有什么岁月静好，不过是有人替你负重前行。只要万众一心，就没有翻不过去的山;只要众志成城，就没有过不去的坎。我们要坚定信心从自身做起。长大之后我们替你们继续前行!武汉加油!

There is no time to be quiet, but someone is carrying the weight for you.

As long as all people are united, there will be no mountains that cannot be

turned over; as long as all people are united, there will be no barriers that

cannot be crossed. We need to be confident and start with ourselves. After

growing up, we will continue to move forward for you! Come on, Wuhan!

请相信待春暖花开之时，我们都可以走上街头，不用口罩，繁华与共，共享春光灿烂!

Please believe that when spring comes, we can all go to the streets,

without masks, and share the bright spring!

Since we went to school, we have been educated to be polite, no matter to

the young or old people. People follow the manner rules and have a nice

communication between each other, but some people ignore the rules and they

treat their rude behaviors as something cool. Today, people advocate the

individuality, so the young generation wants to do something different and catch

peoples attention. For example, they dont care other peoples feeling and

criticize others as they like, or just interrupt when other people is talking,

they just show what they want to say and they believe they are special and cool.

This is very rude behavior that they dont respect others and have the wrong

idea about individuality. We can do something special on the base of respect

others and follow the rules, or we are just the rude people.

We can see such signs as “No Smoking” in some public places, which is a

kind of measure taken to ban smoking in public places. However, concerning about

this measures, different people hold divergent opinions. The smokers protest

against that it is a kind of action to deprive of their free right, while the

non-smokers are in favor of banning smoking in public places.

In my opinion, I am inclined to support the latter one—smoking should be

banned in public places. There are reasons accounting for my point. For one

thing, people will be harmed by the second-hand smoking if someone smokes in

public places, especially the infants and children. For another, banning smoking

in public places is also beneficial to the smokers. If they are banned to smoke

in public places, they will restrain themselves from smoking and smoke less. In

the meantime, it is a contribution to reduce the air pollution.

Therefore, I advocate that smoking in public places should be banned so

that we can breathe the fresh air and suffer less from the second-hand smoking.

Let’s work together to create and sustain out green and fresh environment.

To be or nor to be, that is a question. To succeed or to fail? How to

succeed and how to achieve? These problems confuse many teenagers in

nowadays.

We all have dreams, and we all work hard to realize them. But there will

always be some problems and setbacks to stop the pace of advance. When they

appear, what should we do? To stop or to go on? Mrs. Curie told us the answer.

We all know that Mrs. Curie discovered radium, but how many people really know

how hard she worked? At that time, there were many people disapprove of Mrs.

Curie. Although she got over hundreds of difficulties, she still believed in

herself and never gave up. Finally, she succeeded to discover radium. She proved

that she was right by her continuous hard work and her strong spirit. We should

learn from Mrs. Curie. She told us the truth through her own experiences that

believe in yourself, you can do it! Never give up, face the difficulties with a

smile, someday, you will be proud of yourself.

The key to success is confidence. It makes you brave, helps you get over

the troubles, and brings motivation to you. For example, somebody always get

nervous when they have an important speech, if they are in a nervous mood, the

results are always terrible. But if they are confident to themselves, the

results turn out to be better. Therefore, be confident, believe in yourself,

keep smile in your face when comes to difficulties, and you will achieve

more.

With time goes by， it bees a bit hard for me to remember everything about

myself at the first day of my college life。 However， there was one thing for

sure that I did feel quite excited and curious about my university。 There is no

doubt that students like me have struggled for a long time so that can be

permitted to enter the university。

Bringing with expectation， I got into Gongshang University。 Generally

speaking， its an interesting and fantastic place for us to study and live in。

Every day a series of outgoing people get into my eyesight。 Curious and out of

politeness， Id talk to them heart to heart。 Here I make friends with my new

classmates from everywhere around China。 Whats more， time and weather

permitting， I will enjoy jogging or playing basketball with my classmates on the

playground， tired but happy。 When staying in dormitory， I choose to read news

online and sometimes watch a film for relaxing。 However， a good student can

never leave his study behind。 When it es to study， hard problems never upset me，

instead they arouse me。 Rather than ignoring it， Id think carefully for a while

and ask my classmates for help。

To be honest， there are some things I don’t deal with properly。 For

instance， once I spent nearly a whole day playing puter games。 Personally， we

university students are already adults and its our obligation to develop

ourselves in college by learning new professional skills。 Not until we take a

right attitude towards our study and life can we win a rich and colorful

experience in college。
