民谚说，二月二剃龙头，一年都有精神头。每逢二月初二这一天，家家理发店都是顾客迎门，生意兴隆。这不，今天老爸老妈便带着我和妹妹来剃龙头了。

一路上我好奇地问：老妈，为什么要剃龙头啊?今天是龙抬头的日子，在这一天里去理发，亦有鸿运当头，精神饱满，时时吉祥之意。大地回春，万物更新之际，理发迎新年呢。那妹妹为什么又叫剃胎头呢?俗说，因胎发沾染有母体的血污及秽气，不剃的话宝宝的头发又黄又稀疏，为了让以后的头发更黑更亮更秀丽，必须要剃胎头，头发还可以做成毛笔，多有纪念意义!老妈一本正经地说。要怎么剃，待会儿你就知道了。我的心里哼了一声，故弄玄虚!

到了理发店，向老板交代了此行的目的后，便开始剃胎头了。只见老板弯下身，在熟睡的妹妹的脑袋上轻轻地抹了一层爸爸剃胡子那样的泡沫。我纳闷：要这玩意儿干什么呀?老板一只手拿起小刀片儿，一只手轻轻按住妹妹的小脑袋，在妹妹的头上小心翼翼地刮了起来。那小刀片儿犹如一辆推土机，在妹妹的头上来回推着，推过的地方连一丝头发也看不见，像一块白纸，滑滑的，可谓所剃之处，寸发不生。

突然间妹妹动了一下。我和老爸老妈都吓坏了，生怕妹妹被小刀片划中。只见阿姨轻轻站起身，走到跟前来抚摸着妹妹的头，低声细语地说着：小妹妹，不要哭，不要哭，马上就剃完了。话音刚落，妹妹果然又沉沉睡去。

不一会儿，妹妹的头发剃完了。老板洗走了小刀片上的头发，在妹妹的头上又一遍又一遍小心地清理。妹妹突然醒了过来，可出人意料的是她睁着个大眼睛，不哭也不闹，一副很享受的样子。妹妹的头皮渐渐变成红色，便开始露出黄色的橡皮屑不，是胎渍呀!

老板刮走了胎渍，我们就匆匆地赶回家。我本以为这就算剃完了。可一回家，老妈就把鸡蛋泡在了艾叶水里。泡好后，拿着鸡蛋在妹妹的头上滚来滚去。老妈好像知道我要问什么，微笑着对我说：哥哥，这艾叶可以排毒。哦，原来如此!

这就是我们家乡剃胎头的习俗!

I was only nine years old when I learnt how to use a computer. My mother is my first teacher. I know how to type, how to copy a file, and how to visit a web site on the Internet. One day, mom was not at home. I turned on the computer and began to learn how to chat on net. The first one I met there was a boy called Tom. He greeted me politely. When he knew that I was only a 9-year-old girl, and almost knew nothing about chatting on net,he started showing me how to use the chatting tools, how to download, and how to send e-mails. I learnt a lot from him.

时光飞逝，短暂而又愉快的假期生活已经结束了。接下来我所面临的是紧张而又愉快的新学期的教育教学生活。为把新学期的教育教学工作做好，特此作如下教学计划：

一、指导思想。

坚持马列主义，毛泽东思想。高举邓小平理论伟大旗帜，认真学习教育理论，贯彻“三个代表”重要指导思想，积极响应和贯彻素质教育钻研素质教育的实质。“减负”的内在，并以此指导自己的教育教学工作，遵循教育教学规律，紧扣大纲，把我教学层次，不断提高自己的业务水平。

二、基本情况。

这一学期，我继续担任初一(1，2)班的英语教学工作。这两个班级，每班各有学生三十五人左右，但是，基础却不尽人意。初一.1班的学生基础还可以，但是2班的基础却相差很远，学生基础参差不齐，两极分化严重，没有学习的兴趣。因此，教学工作开展的相当困难。

三、教材特点。

初中英语第一册(下)主要介绍了日常生活的交际用语以及一些西方国家的文化背景和风俗习惯，教材通俗易懂，旨在使初一级学生基本能用英语进行简单的交流。

四、教学目标。

力争在期末考试中优秀率打到30%左右，及格率达到60%左右。缩小学生间的差距。为下一学期的英语教育教学工作打下以良好的基础。

五、具体措施。

1、每天背诵课文中的对话。目的：要求学生背诵并默写，培养语感。

2、每天记5个生词，2个常用句子或习语。实施：利用“互测及教师抽查”及时检查，保证效果并坚持下去。

3、认真贯彻晨读制度：规定晨读内容，加强监督，保证晨读效果。

4、坚持日测、周测、月测的形成性评价制度：对英语学习实行量化制度，每日、每周、每月都要给学生检验自己努力成果的机会，让进步的同学体会到成就感，让落后的同学找出差距，感受压力。由此在班里形成浓厚的学习氛围，培养学生健康向上的人格和竞争意识。

5、对后进生进行专门辅导，布置单独的作业，让他们在小进步、小转变中体味学习的快乐，树立学习的自信，尽快成长起来。

6、关注学生的情感，营造宽松、民主、和谐的教学氛围。

7、实施"任务型"的教学途径，培养学生综合语言运用能力。

8、在教学中根据目标并结合教学内容，创造性地设计贴近学生实际的教学活动，吸引和组织他们积极参与。学生通过思考、调查、讨论、交流和合作等方式，学习和使用英语，完成学习任务。

9、加强对学生学习策略的指导，为他们终身学习奠定基础。

10、认真钻研教材，备好，上好每一节课，向45分钟要质量。

总之，新的学期已经开始了，我要以上一学期的基础为起点，树立信心，全身心的投入到新学期的教育教学工作中去。争取在新的一年里，把教育教学工作推向一新的层次。

风景迷人的九龙江畔传来了“哗啦啦，哗啦啦”的流水声。边上有各种各样的小鹅卵石，走在上面让人感到非常舒服。鹅卵石的两旁，还有绿油油的草地，好像是小小的毛虫。一棵棵柳树立在绿油油的草地上，在风的伴奏下，挥舞着修长的手臂，好像在向路人挥手致意！在这优美的景色旁，有着好多高大的楼房，这就是我家居住的小区

来过这里的人们都说这儿的环境优美！可说起来，你们一定不相信吧！几年前，这儿还是一个郊区。有一大片农田，从这过往的行人，都要小心翼翼，如果一不留神，就会滑落到稻田里，弄得满身泥。可见这儿的变化是多么大呀！

在这美丽的九龙江畔，还有一条美丽的路，那就是——江滨路！

让我来做一个“小导游”吧！我带你们逛一下这美丽的大道。我们从漳州的风景区龙文塔出发，过了一个红绿灯，就来到了江滨路上，让我们整体的来看一下江滨路，江滨路是一条可以让六辆汽车行驶的大道，从上面驶过，感到平坦舒服，不会有一路颠簸的疲劳。这段路中间有一条花圃把车道分为左右两边，使来往的车辆不会相撞。让我们再看一看这儿的花圃，这儿的花圃种着紫的，红的，白的……花，每一朵花大小形状都相同，组成了一个又一个有趣的图案。现在大家应该感受到了江风把花香带来的心旷神怡的感觉了吧，其中还夹杂着一阵阵异样的阵阵香味，那是从江边小摊卖烧烤的地方传来的。随着车轮的飞转，我们一会儿就进入了有着防洪大堤的漳州市区了。以前这儿经常一下雨就积水，现在有了这个防洪大堤什么都不怕了。我们绕过大道中间有着百年历史的大榕树之后，就到了江滨路最繁华的地段。这儿的高楼鳞次栉比，姿态优美，造型独特。每到夜幕降临的时候，楼上的霓虹灯辉映着灯火通明的江滨路成了九龙江畔的一大亮点。过了防洪大堤，就来到了刚刚扩建的路段，这儿的花草都是刚栽上去的，感觉一切充满了生机。过了一个红绿灯，就到了漳州最著名的游泳馆“洋老洲”。这儿游泳的人可多了，在这儿训练的好几支游泳队还在省内外获过奖呢！江滨路的终点目前到120大楼，这儿的交警可多了，如果一出现车祸，这些交警就立马赶到，可真是尽职尽责的好警察呀！在这么风景优美的路段上，你肯定想象不到，几年前是什么样的？你们一定会认为跟现在一样，那你们就大错特错了，以前这儿整条都是泥路，上面坑坑洼洼的，汽车在上面行驶，给人感觉颠簸不平，骑着摩托车的，很多都会在这儿摘跟头。晚上没路灯，黑乎乎的看不见，人们都不敢走。没想到才不久，这儿就发生了这么大的变化！

有了这条江滨路，交通可便捷了。人人都说好呀！就说我们家吧，就感到了江滨路给我们带来的便捷交通。原本去爷爷家龙海和外公家天宝如果不想在市区里走走停停，就要走着坑坑洼洼的路。但自从市政府修了江滨路后，去龙海和天宝不过三四十分钟就到了，我也不会晕车了。这真是一条好路呀

这真是一条好路呀！大家都喜欢，这是大家的功劳，更是国家的功劳，在国家领导人的正确领导下，我相信漳州会发展得更快，变成更现代化的城市。

我的家乡古县，虽然是一个偏僻的小山村。但是，我的家乡四面环山，风景优美。 My hometown ancient county, although it is a remote small mountain village.However, my hometown is surrounded by mountains and beautiful scenery.

你瞧!村的东北边有一座风景优美的仙公山，村的东头那一块显眼的巨石像仙人指路，人称“仙公石”。村的北面有一座蚂蚁山，传说只要一直走进那高大的蚂蚁洞，就可以到达惠安。还有一条泉港的母亲河坝头溪，也从我们村流过，真有点“小桥流水”的唯美意境。

但最著名的就要数虎岩寺了。虎岩寺吸引着上千万人的游客，一进大门去就有两座伏虎卧在两侧。这里还有一个传说呢!传说有一个僧人，能伏虎，他早出晚归都要给老虎带一块肉吃。有一天，僧人对老虎开玩笑说：“我今天忘记带肉给你吃。要不我把我自己的肉给你吃吧!”说着，就把头伸进老虎的嘴巴里，老虎一不小心嘴巴一合，这个僧人就被咬死了。老虎悲痛欲绝，于是就跳崖自尽了。“虎岩寺”因此而得名。

山脚下有一个放生池，里面有许多五颜六色的小金鱼：有白的、有黄的、有金色的还有一只慢吞吞的乌龟。沿着石阶梯一直走上去，“大雄宝殿”金碧辉煌，里面还有一些小和尚在念经呢!

从水帘洞一直向右走去，可以看到一尊面目慈祥的“送子观音”雕像，听说只要你面对“送子观音”许下心愿，就可以生下一个白白胖胖的小宝宝!

大雄宝殿的门口还有一个许愿池，很多人喜欢扔硬币下去许下心愿，希望美梦成真。

我的家乡古县不仅有悠久的历史，古老的传说，还有丰富的物产，我爱我的家乡。

English is the necessary subject to learn. Since I went to school, I have

to learn it. But I am not interested in it because I cant find how useful it

is. Two months ago, there was a new English teacher taught us, I realized that

her teaching method was very different. Before the lesson, she would let us to

listen to the English songs, or sometimes we needed to do role play. It was so

funny for us. We were very interested in the songs. Sometimes we could enjoy the

movie, which just opened my eyes. I saw a different world. I wanted to learn

English well and then search the world.

"When a guest comes to my home from afar on a cold night, I light bamboo to

boil tea to offer him.”— Ancient Chinese poem.

China is the home country of tea. Before the Tang Dynasty, Chinese tea was

exported by land and sea, first to Japan and Korea, then to India and Central

Asia and, in the Ming and Qing dynasties, to the Arabian Peninsula. In the early

period of the 17th century, Chinese tea was exported to Europe, where the upper

class adopted the fashion of drinking tea. Chinese tea—like Chinese silk and

china—has become synonymous worldwide with refined culture. At the heart of the

culture of tea—the study and practice of tea in all its aspects—is the simple

gesture of offering a cup of tea to a guest that for Chinese people today is a

fundamental social custom, as it has been for centuries.

China traces the development of tea as an art form to Lu Yu, known as "the

Saint of Tea" in Chinese history, who lived during the Tang Dynasty and who

wrote The Book of Tea, the first ever treatise on tea and tea culture. The

spirit of tea permeates Chinese culture, and throughout the country there are

many kinds of teas, teahouses, tea legends, tea artifacts and tea customs.

Better-known places to enjoy a good cup of tea in China include Beijing noted

for its variety of teahouses; Fujian and Guangdong provinces and other places in

the southeast of China that serve gongfu tea, a formal serving of tea in tiny

cups; the West Lake in Hangzhou, also the home of the Tea Connoisseurs

Association, noted for its excellent green tea; and provinces in southwest China

like Yunnan where the ethnic groups less affected by foreign cultures retain tea

ceremonies and customs in original tea-growing areas.

Every year, the thing I expect the most is the Spring Festival. My parents

work far from home and they come back one or two times a year. The Spring

Festival is the time they come home. Every time they come back, they bring mangy

things to me. When I was little, they bought me toys, new clothes and shoes.

Now, they often buy me books. They say more reading is good for me. They hope I

can learn more. The time spend with them is always happy but short. They only

have half a month at home. I hope they can stay at home longer.
