My family has a lovely little white rabbit, its name is white.

White body with white hair, feels soft. Its ears long, standing on the top of the head, in the sun shining reveals a pink luster, as in the suspicion of listening to the distant movement. A pair of eyes round and red, like a shiny ruby inlaid in its eyes. Its nose is like an inverted triangle. Constantly tamper with, as if smell what smell. Mouth is three, and eat, but also issued a "tut" sound. Its short tail, from afar, like a small pompon, very cute!

White can be greedy. Once, I brought a piece of leaves, white met, raised the claws to catch to eat. But I put the leaves on top of the cupboard. Small white see the cabinet with a handrail, grabbed the armrest to climb up, big mouth to eat up.

White is also very funny. Once, I was concentrating on reading, white ran over, while pulling my cuff for a while pulling my trousers. For a while also "tut" to call up, pull me to play with it.

When I blame it, it will hide under the sofa, no matter how I call it, it is not out. I had to take the leaves and draw it out. Xiaobiao smell the leaves of the smell, on the "meter", climbed out.

My little white is so cute.

About eight o clock this morning, the snow started to fall, I stood at the window, watch the beautiful snow.

The snow cover the earth with a thick layer of carpet, as if afraid of the cold! Looked from a distance, "dancing silver snake among snowing mountains" seems to be turned into a pink outfit build by laying bricks or stones jade, full of poetic words meaning world. The tree has a lot of snow, like individual little yushu.

Snowy, the happiest or the children. Children can be happy to play in the snow, some snowball fights, make a snowman, snowball... The whole village immersed in laughter. Snow is a good friend of the children, their selfless dedication, brought happiness to children.

The snow was falling, the greater the like catkin, silver white, jade embellish, and clusters, swirl, flag fluttered, glowed with the silver beams of the cold. Ruthless, people often say that snow is ruthless, it just killing so many insects, preserves the growth of crops.

At this moment, a piece of snowflakes stick to a window, and immediately. Perhaps in snow stopped, soon. I really a little loathe to give up they melt. But, the snow will eventually. But it is short of "life" are able to protect plants, moist and clean air. I think it is the most selfless, it silently dedication to its "life". I think that human life is short, we should cherish.

What a beautiful snow!

今天早上大约8点多，下起了雪，我站在窗户里，观赏着这美丽的雪景。

雪儿们把大地盖上了一层厚厚的地毯，好像怕大地冷呢!远远望去，“山舞银蛇”好像变成了一个粉装玉砌，充满诗情话意的世界。门口的树上有许多雪，像一棵棵小玉树。

下雪天，最快活的还是孩子们。小朋友在雪地里玩的可高兴了，有的打雪仗，有的堆雪人，有的滚雪球……整个小区沉浸在欢声笑语中。雪儿是孩子们的好朋友，它们无私奉献，给孩子们带来了欢乐。

雪越下越大，如同柳絮一般，银一样的白，玉一样的润，一朵朵、一簇簇，纷纷扬扬、冉冉飘落，闪着寒冷的银光。人们常说雪无情，正是它无情，才冻死了那么多害虫，保住了庄稼的生长。

这时，一片雪花沾到窗户上，又立刻化了。雪也许会在停了以后，很快就化了。我真有点舍不得它们化掉。但是，雪终究会化的。但它短暂的“生命”却能够保护植物，湿润并清洁空气。我认为它是最无私的，它在默默地奉献着它的“一生”。我想，人的一生也是短暂的，我们要珍惜。

多美的雪啊!

我家有一只小狗，它既可爱又聪明，我很喜欢这只小狗。它长着一对乌黑发亮的眼睛，小巧玲珑的鼻子，灵敏的耳朵，圆圆的头。以下是“描写狗的优美段落”希望能够帮助的到您！

1、有一次，小狗在我为它做的小房子里像个小老头似地踱来踱去，显得很无聊的样子。忽然，它眼睛一亮，看见了房子外面一只蚊子飞来，便飞奔而去，追起蚊子来，蚊子受了惊吓，到处乱飞，小狗也跟着四处瞎窜，只见蚊子“呼”地一声钻进了放有我最心爱的花瓶的玻璃柜子中，小狗也紧追不舍，跟进玻璃柜子中，柜子一晃，“啪”的一声，花瓶掉在了地上，粉身碎骨。

2、小黑似乎很懂得享受，由你怎么洗，它就站在那儿一动不动地，当我用水帮它冲干净后，它还是站在那儿不动，我有点奇怪。等我走开了，它才开始抖动全身，看到水珠四处飞溅，我才突然明白，原来它是不想让水溅到我身上，多么可爱的小黑。

3、小狗最爱玩毛线团了，每当我拿来毛线时，小狗立即扑向我，原来他是想玩我手中的毛线团啊！小狗还像一个小孩子一样喜欢玩叶子。我放下叶子的时候，它就跑来把叶子上上下下翻滚，再用爪子抓几下叶子，有时候还咬几口叶子了。

4、小狗它的业余很多，对新鲜事物又能后的兴趣，它常常在我画画时，瞪着眼睛看，还模仿画上人的动作，那样子逗得我哈哈大笑。

5、小狗刚满月，小眼睛又圆又亮，滴溜溜地转着，注视着世界，还不时“汪汪”地叫几声，生怕别人不注意它似的。在它的眼里，世界中的一草一木都是那么的新奇，也很陌生。它身上的皮毛黑白相间，犹如雪白的棉花上不小心滴了几滴墨汁，又像裹着一件奶牛皮衣，真漂亮！最有趣的数小狗摇摆的小尾巴。它的尾巴很独特，深棕色的，上面夹杂着一点儿白毛，经常摇来晃去的，像个拨浪鼓，在阳光的照射下，一闪一闪的，好玩极了。

6、我在拍皮球，多多瞄准时机，迅速扑过来，一口咬住，把我的皮球抢走，叼回它的窝里，用爪子紧紧按住，生怕我来夺走。

7、我家有一只小黄狗，它身上披着金黄色的毛，亮得像搽过油一样；圆圆的、漆黑发亮的眼睛像珠子似的，整天滴溜溜地转；嘴巴长长的，还有一对很灵的耳朵，如果附近有丁点响动，它就会把耳朵竖起来；黄色的小爪像四朵梅花，那条撅着的尾巴总是悠闲不停地摇摆着，样子非常讨人喜欢。我给它取名叫“小黄”。

8、忽然，院子里传来急促的狗叫声，我飞快地跑出去，发现“炎龙”使劲的咬着一个收废品的裤管不放，我吆喝了一声：“炎龙，快回来”，它“嗖”的一声跑到我的身边蹲下来，等我奖赏。

9、宝宝很喜欢从高处往下跳，它很小的时候，我就经常把它抱到高一点的地方，让它跳下来，刚开始，它不敢跳，经过几次训练后，它就敢跳了，现在已经能从1米多高的地方很轻松的跳下来了。

10、爸爸买来了一只可爱的小狗，它的毛软软的，比棉被还要软。眼睛圆滚滚的，终于吃饭了，我把饭倒在碗里，在端来一碗水放在小狗的面前，小狗的肚子已经饿的咕咕叫了，一见到食物来了，立刻跑到我的面前。

11、这只狗整天在我家门口有时候站在一边，有时候趴在纸板上，有时候站着呆呆地看着过往的人们。我观察了好几天觉得它是一只没有主人的狗，我觉得它非常可怜没有东西吃就给买香肠还把剩菜和剩饭给小狗吃。小狗每次看到我都会摇着尾巴。

What is the most important thing in the world? I think it is health.You can

take away our money, house, car, or even our clothes and we can survive. But if

our health was taken away, we would surely die. That is why we always try to eat

in a healthy way and exercise regularly.

什么是世界上最重要的事情?我想，答案应该是健康。我们可以在没有钱、房子、车子，甚至衣服的情况下，活着。但是如果我们的健康被带走了，我们肯定就活不下去了。这就是为什么我们总是努力以一种健康的方式吃东西和规律地运动。

In order to eat healthily, I usually avoid eating food high in fat, like

french fries or cookies. I also eat little meat. I eat a lot of vegetables and

fresh fruit which are full of vitamins. Taking exercise every day helps us build

a strong body. Regular exercise is an important part of keeping me healthy.

为了能吃得健康，我常常避免吃高脂肪的食物，比如炸薯条或甜点。我也很少吃肉。我会吃很多的蔬菜和富含维他命的新鲜水果。每天做运动有助于我们拥有强健的身体。有规律的运动是我们保持身体健康的一个重要部分。

Whats more, I think friends are an important part of ones health. Many

studies show that people with a wide range of social contacts get sick less than

those who dont. I always feel better when I am with friends than when I am

alone. When I am with my friends, I always laugh. Laughing is also an important

part of health. I like to laugh with my friends.

还有，我认为，朋友也是让我们保持健康的重要部分。许多研究显示，有复杂人际关系的人比较不容易得病。当我与朋友一起时，我总是感觉比单独一个人好。当我与朋友一起时，我总是笑声不断。欢笑也是健康的重要组成部分。我喜欢和朋友一起大笑。

By eating properly and exercising regularly, I can keep my body at a proper

weight and keep healthy. By spending time with my friends, I can keep my mind as

well as my body happy. These things sound easy to do, but not many people can

manage them. I think a strong will is necessary if we want to keep healthy.

通过合理的饮食和规律性的运动，我可以保持身体健康和体重适中。与朋友一起的时光，可以让我的思想和身体一样开心。这些事情听起来很容易去做，但没有很多人能成功做到。我想，我们如果想要健康，那强大的意愿是需要的。

译文：

进入了20xx年，就在前些天下了一场大雪。前些天还暖的如同阳春三月，就在凌晨2点多，天气骤然变冷，空中布满了铅色的云。就在人们刚从睡梦中醒来的时候，凛冽的寒风就挂起来了。过了不久，风停了，就下起雪来。这是入冬以来的第一场雪。

从远处看，白雪像小银珠，像小雨点，像杨柳花，纷纷扬扬为我们挂起白茫茫的天幕雪帘，抬头透过稀疏的雪帘望去，那远处的高楼大厦，隐隐约约，好像在云雾中，宛如在云里，显得特别好看。偶尔会传来“咯吱”一声，积雪把树枝压断了。

到了学校。稠密的雪花，满天飞舞，不一会儿整个校园就变成了银色的世界，地面变成了地毯，大树穿起了白袍子，教学楼带起白帽子，房屋上铺满了棉絮，那桐枝上开满了“梨花”，树上、树枝上挂满了“雪球”和“银球”，远远望去，玉树琼枝，粉状玉琢，充满了诗情画意。

多美的小雪花啊!开始零零落落，又小，又厚，又柔，又轻，就像那高贵的白天鹅轻轻地抖动着翅膀，一片片小小的羽毛，飘飘悠悠落下啦;接着小雪花变大了，变厚了，变得密密麻麻，就像谁用力摇动天上的玉树琼花，那洁白无暇的花瓣纷纷飞下来;接着，雪越下越大，小雪花们在半空中你拉我扯，你抱住我，我拥紧你，一团团，一处处，仿佛无数扯碎了的棉花球从天空翻滚而下，这时，整个世界都变得迷迷茫茫的，美不胜收。

一群群孩子在草坪上堆雪人，打雪仗，掷雪球。那欢乐的喊声都快把树枝上的积雪震落了小来。

一颗颗小小的雪粒，像白砂糖一样。他们在空中飘舞着，并不着急落地，好像舍不得离开天空似的，有的悄悄跳入行人的衣领里，无声无息地消失了。接着，一片片的小雪花像烟一样轻，像玉一样洁，银一样白，飘飘洒洒，纷纷扬扬。从天而降，亲吻着久别的大地……

In life, there are many people who are contributing to society. An angel who works like a policeman and works for the flower of life. But the person I most want to praise is a cleaner.

Every morning, when I had just had breakfast, I heard a "whizz" sound on the road behind the wall. The voices were unfurled by the dustmen of the dustmen. The dustmen sweep the dirt on the road to clean up the waste water and ensure the cleanliness of the roads. They are not afraid of hardship, not afraid of fatigue, just to make the vehicles safe passage.

When I was out of school in the afternoon, the cleaners were shuttling back and forth between asphalt and asphalt, collecting the rubbish left by the passengers. Then pour buckets of water on the road, and then sweep the dirt and waste together with dirty water.

Many cleaners start early, early and late, do the same work every day, and cause back pain. The eyes had been spent, but they had no complaints. I really want to praise them. They are the best. Work silently, like the poem of the poet in the southern song dynasty, "make a hundred flowers to make a secret, for who will be the best for the sweet." Its the bees that make the honey, and the cleaners are the bees that work silently.

Mrs. Li has left a very good first impression on us. She is a beautiful young lady, enthusiastic and energetic. Now we know that she is a really wonderful teacher. Not only does she explain everything clearly but also she is very patient with us. Besides, her class

is well organized and in class she always encourages us and avoids making us feel embarrassed even when we make mistakes, so every student is very active in the class discussing.

So far, Mrs. Li has been teaching us for only two weeks, but she has already been popular with all of the students in our class! With Mrs. Lis help, we have learnt a lot of new words, phrases and sentence patterns. I am sure that we are going to make great progress in English with Mrs Li teaching us.

I used to pouring away the water directly after I using it. Someday, my

mother asked me to help her wash the clothes, as I was about to pour away the

water, my mother stopped me and she told me that most water can be recycled. It

can be used to water the flower or to wash other things. From then on, I realize

how to save water.

我过去常常在用完水后直接倒掉水。有一天，妈妈叫我帮助她洗衣服，就在我要去倒掉水的时候，妈妈阻止了我，她告诉我说大部分水可以循环利用。那么水可以用来浇花或者洗别的东西。从那时候起，我就意识到如何节约用水。

Dear Rose,

How are you? Will you be free next Saturday? That day is my 14th birthday.

I am going to have a party at my home. I will be very happy if you can come.

Some of my friends are invited to come to my party, too. We will sing, dance,

play games and watch some wonderful DVDs at the party. It will begin at 5

oclock that afternoon. I am looking forward to your coming.

Yours,

Peter

亲爱的玫瑰,

你好吗?你下周六有空吗?那天是我14岁生日。我要在家里举行一个聚会。如果你能来，我将非常高兴。我的一些朋友也被邀请来参加我的聚会。我们会唱歌，跳舞，玩游戏，看一些精彩的dvd在聚会上。它将在那天下午5点开始。我期待着你的到来。

你的,

彼得

有人喜欢顽皮可爱的小熊猫，有人喜欢调皮捣蛋的小猴子，还有人喜欢活蹦乱跳的小白兔，而我喜欢乖巧可爱的小狗。

它的耳朵像两个三角形，一双明亮的眼睛和一个小小鼻子，给它添了活力的色彩，告诉你们，小狗眼睛里的世界只有黑白灰这三种颜色。再配上一张可爱的嘴巴，显得既活泼又可爱，看它活泼可爱的样子，我给它取了一个名字“小可”。它全身雪白色的，只有爪子带着一点黄色。你可知道小狗的尾巴还会变哦，每当它生气时，尾巴会竖着，开心时会摇摆。

小狗吃食物时也很可爱。有一次，妈妈烧了一盘红烧肉，小可闻见了味道，就跑到桌下，对着我转圈。好像在说：“小主人，给我吃一块骨头吧。”可它见我还没给它，就坐在地上，守在这儿。过了一会儿，我夹起一块骨头往远处一扔，小可见了飞奔过去，把骨头叼到了这里。它先闻了闻味道，再拿舌头舔了舔，确定没有其他动物出现后，就用前爪按住了骨头，张开大嘴巴，狼吞虎咽地吃了起来，吃完后，就开心地摇着尾巴，大摇大摆地走到阳光下睡着了。

一天，小狗从外面回来后全身都很脏，于是我准备给它洗个澡。刚开始的时候，它不敢进桶，花了我九牛二虎之力才把它抱了进去，用水轻轻地给它揉，给它浇水。

我慢慢地和小狗成了好朋友，离开了它，我会很孤单。

我家母狗在九月二十一日下了六只小狗，有三只白色、两只灰色和一只黑色。出生的几天里都没睁眼，到第十三天时，有两只小狗睁眼了，又过了三天，剩下的四只小狗也都睁眼了。

母狗天天都给它们喂奶，母狗侧躺着，六只狗仔都抢着吃奶，还发出一种哼哼声，好像很满足的样子。第二十二天时，它们开始可以走路了，刚从窝里走出来时还不太稳，过了几天它们就走得越来越稳了。

现在满月了，小狗大约长18厘米，眼睛不大但很圆，身体胖乎乎的，每次躺在窝里时，六只都喜欢挨在一起，这样可能是暖和些，这就是我家的母狗和它的六只小狗，可爱吧？

Christmas， annual Christian holiday commemorating the birth of Jesus Christ。 Most members of the Roman Catholic Church and followers of Protestantism celebrate Christmas on December 25， and many celebrate on the evening of December 24 as well。 Members of the Eastern Orthodox Church usually delay their most important seasonal ceremonies until January 6， when they celebrate Epiphany， a commemoration of the baptism of Jesus。 Epiphany also traditionally commemorates the arrival of the Three Wise Men of the East in Bethlehem （near Jerusalem， Israel）， where they adored the infant Jesus and presented him with gifts of gold， frankincense， and myrrh。 The official Christmas season， popularly known as either Christmastide or the Twelve Days of Christmas， extends from the anniversary of Christ’s birth on December 25 to the feast of Epiphany on January 6。  Christmas is based on the story of Jesus’ birth as described in the Gospel according to Matthew （see Matthew 1：18—2：12） and the Gospel according to Luke （see Luke 1：26—56）。 Roman Catholics first celebrated Christmas， then known as the Feast of the Nativity， as early as 336 ad。 The word Christmas entered the English language sometime around 1050 as the Old English phrase Christes maesse， meaning festival of Christ。 Scholars believe the frequently used shortened form of Christmas—Xmas—may have come into use in the 13th century。 The X stands for the Greek letter chi， an abbreviation of Khristos （Christ）， and also represents the cross on which Jesus was crucified。

12月25日，是基督教徒纪念耶稣诞生的日子，称为圣诞节。从12月24日于翌年1月6日为圣诞节节期。节日期间，各国基督教徒都举行隆重的纪念仪式。圣诞节本来是基督教徒的节日，由于人们格外重视，它便成为一个全民性的节日，是西方国家一年中最盛大的节日，可以和新年相提并论，类似我国过春节。西方人以红、绿、白三色为圣诞色，圣诞节来临时家家户户都要用圣诞色来装饰。红色的有圣诞花和圣诞蜡烛。绿色的是圣诞树。它是圣诞节的主要装饰品，用砍伐来的杉、柏一类呈塔形的常青树装饰而成。上面悬挂着五颜六色的彩灯、礼物和纸花，还点燃着圣诞蜡烛。红色与白色相映成趣的是圣诞老人，他是圣诞节活动中最受欢迎的人物。西方儿童在圣诞夜临睡之前，要在壁炉前或枕头旁放上一只袜子，等候圣诞老人在他们入睡后把礼物放在袜子内。在西方，扮演圣诞老人也是一种习俗。

天，越来越冷了，人们裹着的羽绒服把自己严严实实地包在里面。远处，过来一只流浪狗，它跑得跌跌撞撞，嘴巴里呜咽着。干瘦的身体，卷曲的毛发，让人看着心疼。这时候，陆天放学回家。在一条大街上，他和它相遇了。

陆天本身就很善良，这么可怜的小狗出现在他的眼前，不帮助是不可能的。他走到小狗面前，蹲了下来，用他本身就冰冷的小手去抚摸它那弱小的身躯，它感觉到了一只冰冷的手放到了它干瘦的身体上，它像是找到了一根救命稻草一般，在陆天的手上不停地蹭着。

陆天被小狗的样子给逗笑了，于是便把他带回了家。

他的父母因为在外地工作，所以他也不怕会遭到他们的打骂，而它躺在陆天的怀里一动不动，生怕一会儿动了，这个唯一的救命稻草又离他而去。

它来到了这个家庭里，就自然有了属于自己的名字，它的名字就叫朵朵。

接下来的生活很平淡，但也很美好。朵朵每天都围着陆天，在他的身旁转了一转又一转，永远都不会疲倦。陆天也一样，每天看着朵朵围着自己转了一圈又一圈，脸上一直挂着微笑，眼睛就一直盯着朵朵，好似朵朵是他的全世界。

直到那一天，属于他和它的美好，也不复存在。

那一天他的父母回来了，看到家里多出了一条陌生的狗，心中当然不高兴，于是在陆天去上学时，把朵朵丢到了一个小巷子里。

陆天回到家后，发现朵朵不见了，立刻问起了自己的父母，他们都说没有看见，陆天也只好放弃。

一年、两年……

转眼间，过去了几年，陆天依旧在那条街上走着。突然，一个白色的身躯，他跑了过去，发现那个身躯是朵朵，刚刚死去的朵朵。陆天不知道，它在自己生命的最后一刻，心里仍然在默默祈祷：“愿上帝保佑那个可爱的孩子……”

The story of a mans lifelong obsession with whales has won the ￡20,000 BBC Samuel Johnson Prize for non-fiction.

Leviathan, Or The Whale, traces British author Philip Hoares fascination with the marine mammal, which he calls "a living thing past our comprehension".

As he travels the world in pursuit of the creature, he compares his findings to Herman Melvilles Moby Dick. US journalist Jacob Weisberg, who led the panel, said Hoares passion for his subject was infectious. The authors prose "rises to the condition of literature", he added.

In explaining his fascination, Mr Hoare said: "This wonderful mysterious creature so elusive." "Theyre so under threat from climate change, from noise pollution," he went on.
