There are varied ways of defining tourism. Some people regard it as a

pollution-free industry; others think of it an invisible school, Both are based

on an accepted fact that tourism cannot only produce profits bearing no

pollution along with, but help broaden knowledge and fortify healthy. Aside from

the above there exists awidespread theory, claiming that whatever is of the

ability to increase in capital belongs to productive industry. In this sense,

tourism should hold a position in the scope and ought to be treated as such.

It is true that there is some sense in the theory, yet another equally or

even more important aspect should be granted more publicity to. Tourism, in

terms of its objective purposes, has a social function which contributes to

human communication. Coming from vadous social backgrounds, having motives and

goals of every kind, tourists get together, draw close and exchange ideas of

their own, from which a fresh state of mind will be created. So what kind of

production is it? To the question we should have good reason to give a proper

answer: it is a spirit production, a reproduction of relations of production.

And the more frequently such exchanges are made, the more good they will do to

promoting social and economic development of the mutual. If it is the case that

making money through tourism means a dent we have made, so it foretells a

fortune to provide cultural service along with tourism. Therefore, to keep close

eyes on the latter involves changing our minds first, that is, tourism is by no

means a pure economic concept, but takes plenty of ideological activities as its

content.

To sum up, unlike other economic forms, the profits from tourism economy

cannot be measured completely by means of how much output value, profit, and

foreign exchange it will produce. In addition to the reputation of

pollution-free industry, its social and far-reaching profit should be probed

more deeply. As such the existing scenic spots ought to be kept in good

maintenance, and some new ones exploited. Moreover, constructing first-class

soft and hard surroundings is desired to attract tourists, the foreign and the

domestic.

The National Day is a designated date on which celebrations mark the nationhood of a country.(国庆节) Often the National Day will be a national holiday.

The National Day is often taken as the date on which a state or territory achieved independence. Other dates such as the countrys patron saint day, or a significant historic date are sometimes used. Most countries have a single National Day per year, though a few, for example, India and Pakistan, have more than one. Besides that, each of the two special administrative regions of the Peoples Republic of China, namely Hong Kong and Macao, celebrate the day of the establishment of the special administrative region, as well as the National Day of the Peoples Republic of China.

The importance attached to the National Day, and the degree to which it is celebrated, vary enormously from country to country. In France, for example, National Day is 14 July and is known as Bastille Day. It is widely celebrated and the French Tricolour is much in evidence, while the President of the Republic attends a military parade on the Champs-élysées of Paris. In the United States, the Fourth of July celebrations are widely celebrated with fireworks and barbecues. In the Republic of Ireland, St. Patricks Day, March 17, has been the National Day and a Public Holiday for many years, and in recent years it has been observed as a full Public Holiday in Northern Ireland too. However, in the rest of the United Kingdom the constituent countries patron saints days are low-key affairs.

Most countries have a fixed date National Day, but some have movable dates. An example here is Jamaica, which celebrates its National Day on the first Monday in August. This commemorates independence from the United Kingdom which was attained on Monday, 6 August 1962 - the first Monday in August of that year. Another example is Thailand which celebrates the birthday of the King on 5 December. This date will change on the accession of the heir to the throne.

As we all know, trees are very useful. They are of great benefit to man as

follows: First, trees provide us with wood and other products; Second, their

roots can allow the rain to sink in and keep the soil, so they help to prevent

droughts and floods. Trees can clean air and beautiful life.

Unfortunately, nowadays in many parts of the world lots of people fail to

realize the importance of trees. They have cut trees down in large numbers

without a plan,which makes the soil washed away. They dont know where there no

trees, the rain washed away the surface of the soil and this causes floods.

We ought to plant trees each year and carefully look after new trees in

order not to make the forest slowly disappear. Only in this way can we make the

forest serve man forever.

有不同的方式定义旅游。一些人认为这是一个无污染的产业;其他人则认为它的一个看不见的学校,都是基于一个公认的事实,旅游不能只一起产生利润轴承没有污染,但帮助拓宽知识和增强健康。除了上述存在awidespread理论,声称任何增加资本的能力属于生产行业。从这个意义上讲,旅游业应该在范围和位置应该被视为这样的人。

确实有某种意义上的理论,另一个同样甚至更重要方面应该给予更多的宣传。旅游,在客观方面的目的,有一个社会功能,有助于人际交往。来自vadous社会背景,动机和目标的,游客聚在一起,走近和交换自己的想法,这将会创建一个新的心境。那么什么样的生产是吗?这个问题我们应该有充分的理由给予一个合适的答案:它是一种精神生产,生产关系的再生产。而这些交流越频繁,越好他们会相互的促进社会和经济发展。如果它是通过旅游途径赚钱的情况下削弱我们,所以它预示财富提供文化服务以及旅游。因此,为了保持密切关注后者涉及先改变我们的思想,也就是说,旅游绝不是一个纯经济的概念,但需要大量的思想活动,其内容。

总之,与其他经济形式,旅游经济的利润不能完全通过测量输出值多少,利润和外汇就会产生。除了无污染的行业的声誉,其社会和深远的利润应该更深入地探索。因此现有景区应该保持良好的维护,和一些新的剥削。此外,建设一流的软、硬需要环境来吸引游客,外国和国内。

Raising the worlds largest kindness, than their parents. Is worth we use to cherish life, with a sincere heart to appreciate, with practical action to gratitude.

"The sheep have knelt milk, crow has righteousness". And people also should have the thought of filial, dont wait until the desire filial and affection, eventually left the life of a big allready tried, want to dont regret in the future, from now will be grateful parents from around things, return for parents. Returns are also not necessarily material rewards, is more of a spiritual and emotional. Even overseas, study abroad, we point to with a grateful heart. As the century old ba jin said: "I am spinning silkworm mulberry leaves to eat." Silkworm paid, also obtained, get the praise and admiration of people.

Parents are the first teachers for our lives, from the moment a child is born, his life was poured parents endless love and blessing. Perhaps, parents cant give us the luxury of life, however, they gave the irreplaceable - life in a persons life

Parents for their children to hold up a piece of the sky of love, when you get hurt, cry, sad, sad, you can always come back here, enjoy the love of parents. Thanksgiving parents, even a small thing, can let them feel gratified. I remember CCTV has broadcast a public service ads: a little boy, struggling with a basin of water, naive said to his mother: "mom, wash feet!" Is such an AD today, still hit, its relieving feelings and moving heart, dont know how many people infected with. Many people whose tears, not to a lovely boy, also for that one to the deep love, and from the heart of gratitude to the mother.

The classmates, let us learn to be grateful parents! With a grateful heart to treat their parents, with a sincere heart to communicate with their parents, dont take it for granted that their parents do anything for us, they brought us to this beautiful world, is great enough, and will we raise, thanked, silently pay for us, we dont blindly to demand their pay, institute of Thanksgiving, with a grateful heart, grateful parents!

世上最大的恩情，莫过于父母的养育之恩。值得我们用生命去珍爱，用至诚的心去感激，用切实行动去报恩。

“羊有跪乳之情，鸦有反哺之义”。而人也应有尽孝之念，莫等到欲尽孝而亲不在，终留下人生的一大遗撼，要想将来不后悔莫及，从现在就要从身边的小事去感恩父母，回报父母。回报也不一定非的是物质上的回报，更多的是精神上的、情感上的。就算是远渡重洋、留学海外，我们时刻要怀揣着一颗感恩的心。正如世纪老人巴金所说：“我是春蚕吃的桑叶就要吐丝。”春蚕付出了，也获得了，得到的却是人们的赞美与钦佩。

父母是我们人生的第一任老师，从一个孩子呱呱坠地的那一刻起，他的生命就倾注了父母无尽的爱与祝福。或许，父母不能给我们奢华的生活，但是，他们给予了一个人一生中不可替代的——生命

父母为子女撑起了一片爱的天空，当你受伤时，哭泣时，忧郁时，难过时，你可以随时回到这里，享受父母的爱。感恩父母，哪怕是一件微不足道的事，都能让他们感到欣慰。我记得央视曾播过的一个公益广告：一个小男孩，吃力的端着一盆水，天真的对妈妈说： “妈妈，洗脚!”就是这样的一部广告时至今日，仍在热播，它的感情动人心腑，不知感染了多少人。很多人为其流泪，不止为了可爱的男孩，也为了那一份至深的爱，和发自内心对母亲的感恩。

同学们，让我们学会感恩父母吧!用一颗感恩的心去对待父母，用一颗真诚的心去与父母交流，不要再认为父母是理所当然帮我们做任何事情的，他们把我们带到这美丽的世界，已经是足够的伟大，且将我们养育成人，不求回报，默默的为我们付出，我们就别再一味地索求他们的付出，学会感恩，怀着一颗感恩的心，去感恩父母吧!

During the 15 days from New Year’s Eve to Lantern Festival, Beijing was

affected by smog for more than half the time, because of which people suffered a

lot. On the road people drove slowly because they could not see clearly. People

also suffered from many illnesses caused by smog.

The smog in Beijing has been caused by many factors, in which the increase

of cars in the city area plays an important role. The carssend off a lot of

poisonous gases, which in turn adds to the already seriousair pollution.

In my opinion, the number of cars should be limited.We should call on the

people to use more public transport. Only in this way canwe expect to have more

sunny days.

There are many forms of life on earth：organisms，animals，plants，and human

beings.Life is given to man only once.And there are many natural disasters that

will destroy life.Since life is short and preeious，everyone wants to enjoy

longevity.

The mode of life differes from person to person.A persons life may be one

of great achievement.He may also lead a quiet life.A career man has a busy

life.A self content man has an easy one.Yet everyone is writing his own life

story with his actions.

The intelligent and diligent person makes his life full of vigor and

vitality.He works and plays with zest.A lazy mans life is dull and

spiritless.While in life he is lifeless.

As a youth，I choose to live a busy and meaningful life.

There is only one word which can describe my childhood. The word is“carefree”that so many todays kids do not understand， although they have delicious food， beautiful clothes and pretty toys.

My parents never forced me to do anything. I recited a lot of poems and fine articles， but not for performing before their friends and our relatives， just because I enjoyed rhythms and words. So I never considered them a burden。 Later， when I was in the primary school， the homework was very few and easy to do， and I was never asked to be the top students.

Nor did my parents stop me from doing anything. After I finished my homework， I could stay outside for a whole afternoon to do whatever I liked. I used to go swimming in the river in summer， skating on the ice in winter. Sometimes I played basketball or football with my little friends. I could read any book， and my parents never examine it before my reading.

Sometimes I think my childhood was boring and not unforgettable， but I was really carefree and happy then. What is more important than to give a child a happy childhood?

只有一个词可以描述我的童年。这个词是“无忧无虑”,很多今天的孩子不懂,尽管他们有美味的食物,漂亮的衣服和漂亮的玩具。

我父母从不强迫我做任何事。我背诵很多诗,好文章,但不执行他们的朋友和亲戚之前,仅仅因为我喜欢节奏和单词。所以我从不认为他们是负担。后来,当我还在小学,作业很少,很容易做,而且我从未要求最优秀的学生。

我的父母也没有阻止我做任何事。我完成了我的作业后,我可以呆在外面整整一个下午做任何我喜欢的。我过去在河里去游泳在夏天,在冬天在冰上滑冰。有时我和我的朋友打篮球或足球。我可以读任何书,和我的父母从来没有检查过我的阅读。

有时我觉得我的童年是无聊和不难忘,但我当时真的无忧无虑的快乐。什么是更重要的不是给孩子一个快乐的童年吗?

Today, more and more young people are crazy about western festivals. When western festivals come, they usually go to restaurants or shopping malls to have fun.

如今，越来越多的年轻人都对西方的节日着迷。当西方节日到来的时候，他们常常去餐厅或是商场娱乐。

Why do the young enjoy western festivals so much? Since they worship everything new, and they can’t resist the temptation. In their opinions, western festivals symbolize the fashion, while our Chinese traditional festivals are out of date. No wonder we always feel so boring during our traditional holidays. If we still turn a blind eye to our traditional festivals, our culture and civilization will disappear someday. Accordingly, it is high time for us to pay close attention to our Chinese festivals.

为什么年轻人这么喜爱西方节日呢?大抵是因为他们喜爱新鲜事物，抗拒不了诱惑。在他们看来，西方节日代表着时尚，而中国传统节日则太土了。这也难怪我们也觉得我们的传统节日太过无聊了。如果我们对传统节日漠然置之，那么某天我们的文化文明终会消失。因此，我们该多多关注我们中国自己的节日了。

As a Chinese, we have the obligation to protect our culture and custom. So I think we should celebrate our Chinese festivals by doing some traditional activities. As for western festivals, we needn’t to be too excited about them. We can just send our best wishes to our best friends during those festivals.

作为一名中国人，我们有责任保护自己的文化习俗。所以我认为应当在庆祝中国传统节日时候举办一些传统活动。而对于西方节日，我们不需要太过激动。在这些节日里我们应该只需简单的送上祝福就好。

Tom is my best friend. Who is he? He is a dog. He is a special dog. My

father give him to me at my 10 year birthday. The moment I saw him, I love him.

His fur is white. He is very lovely. He knows how to make me happy. Everyday

when I come back from school, I will play with him. He is also smart. He will

drag my quilt if I sleep late. Besides, if my clock doesn’t alarm in the

morning, he will bark at me. See, he is so clever that I couldnt help loving

him.

Everyone needs a friend, because we are not the only one in the world. We

need someone to talk to and share our happiness and sorrow. Last night, I saw a

movie, the protagonist’s friend asked him what was a friend, and he gave the

answer that a friend was someone you can talk about your secret and you would

share food with. It is a child’s opinion, and it is simple and real. A friend is

someone who we can trust, we don’t have to hide ourselves and just who we are.

We will feel comfortable with them. When we are in trouble, we will think of

them and they will come to help.
