Presently, I am preparing my graduation thesis and trying for the honor of Excellent Graduation Thesis.

Research experience and academic activity

When a sophomore, I joined the Association of AI Enthusiast and began to narrow down my interest for my future research. With the tool of OpenGL and Matlab, I designed a simulationprogram for transportation scheduling system. It is now widely used by different research groups in NUST. I assumed and fulfilled a sewage analysis & dispose project for Nanjing sewagetreatment plant. This was my first practice to convert a laboratory idea to a commercial product.

In retrospect, I find myself standing on a solid basis in both theory and experience, which has prepared me for the Ph.D. program.

The four seasons is beautiful in nature. Abundant sprout in the spring, summer, autumn harvest, in the winter, we in this world because there are four seasons and colorful.

Spring is a painter. "Xiao red wet place, flower jin guan city." When I recite the poem, the beauty of the spring like on a piece of paper, a brush in the outline of the outline of the spring: peach the gorgeous flowers, plant a new rice farmers, the grass to drill a dark land, willow spit out new shoots. Spring is the start of the year, "spring", everywhere the vibrant, sow the seeds of hope in the field.

Summer is an artist. "Said harvest rice fragrant flowers, listen to the pre-pubescent." Red sun hanging on the sky, especially bright, hot guys are afraid to leave their homes, but busy busy, cicada, every moment in the troll. Night, suppress in the home the day people came out to cool. People came to the square, dancing and singing. In rural, mountain, nature of any a corner, the animals are also unwilling to lag behind, they get together, hold the forest symphony, frogs, cicada has become the leading role.

Autumn is a natural scientist. "Recovery and a grain of millet, the autumn harvest than a child." Autumn is the season of harvest, the peasants are harvesting rice, the scene of a busy in the field. The autumn wind howling, the rice harvest, the leaves red as fire, such as sea blue sky, the beauty of the autumn is not the natural scientist.

Winter is a photographer. "Window containing serdang qiangiu snow, MenBo dongwu wanli ship." Snow, snow mountains, the earth as if covered with a white coat, she quietly taken next winter white and boundless, her eternal memories left in winter.

大自然中的四季是美丽的。春天发芽，夏天茂盛，秋天收获，冬天休养，我们这个世界因有四季而丰富多彩。

春是一位画家。“晓看红湿处，花重锦官城。”当我吟诵这句诗时，春天的美景仿佛就在一张纸上，一只画笔在勾勒出春的轮廓：桃树开出艳丽的花朵，农民种下新的水稻，小草钻出黝黑的土地，柳树吐出新的枝条。春天是一年的起点，“一年之计在于春”，处处生机勃勃，在地里播下希望的种子。

夏是一位艺术家。“稻花香里说丰年，听取蛙声一片。”火红的太阳高悬天空，特别炎热耀眼，弄得大伙儿都不敢出家门，但是蝉儿却忙得不亦乐乎，每时每刻都在放声高唱。夜晚，憋在家里一天的人们都出来乘凉。人们来到广场，跳舞，唱歌。在田园，山上，大自然的任何一个角落，动物们也不甘落后，它们聚在一起，举办森林交响乐会，青蛙、蝉成为了主角。

秋是一位自然科学家。“春种一粒粟，秋收万颗子。”秋是收获的季节，农民们都在收获稻谷，田野里一片繁忙的景象。秋风瑟瑟，稻田丰收，树叶红得似火，天空蓝得如海，秋的美景无处没有这位自然科学家的功劳。

冬是一位摄影家。“窗含西岭千秋雪，门泊东吴万里船。”白雪皑皑，银装素裹，大地仿佛都披上了一件白外套，她悄悄地摄下冬的洁白与寥廓，她用镜头留下冬天永恒美好的记忆。

大自然的四季是迷人的，四季来自大自然，大自然受四季的影响而丰富多彩。大自然更是神奇的，还有许许多多的美景、现象，等着我们去发现，探索。

With the help of the Internet，shopping is not a difficult job. Just click your mouse to choose the article you like，and the shopping is finished. You neednt step out of the room。

It seems easy and quick. But theres always a trap(陷阱)online. If you are careless，it will bring you some trouble. You may find the color of the article is different from what you want，or the size is either too small or too big. If you want to be different，youd better not buy clothes online. Once you put on the clothes you bought online and go out，you will find many people wear the same clothes in the street。

So you must be careful，because everything has two sides。

看起来简单和快速。但总是有一个陷阱(陷阱)在线。如果你粗心,它会给你带来一些麻烦。你可能会发现这篇文章的颜色不同于你想要的东西,或大小是太小或太大了。如果你想要不同,你最好不要网上买衣服。一旦你穿上你网上购买的衣服,出去,你会发现很多人穿同样的衣服在街上。

所以你一定要小心,因为任何事情都有两面性。

We may obtain knowledge by reading. The more books we read, the more we accumulate the knowledge. Is it right? I dont think so. Its not wide reading but useful reading that leads to excellence.

And only good books can benifit us.So choosing books is very important for reading. Many students spend a lot of time reading legends and swordsman novels.Its a waste of time. Some students even read some bad books and it is harmful for them.

So be as careful of the books we read, as of the company we keep, for our habit and character will be as much influened by the former as by the latter.

Someone said “we are reading the first verse of the first chapter of a

book, whose pages are infinite”. I don’t know who wrote these words, but I’ve

always liked them as a reminder that the future can be anything we want it to

be. We are all in the position of the farmers. If we plant a good seed ,we reap

a good harvest. If we plant nothing at all, we harvest nothing at all.

一些人说“我们正在读一本无穷的书中的第一章的第一节。”我不知道谁写了这些话，但是我一直很喜欢它，因为它提醒了我，我们能够创造我们想要的未来。我们都是农夫。如果我们播下好的种子，我们将会丰收。如果我们的种子很差，有很多草籽，收割的将是无用的庄稼。如果我们什么也不播种，什么收获也没有。

We are young. “How to spend the youth?” It is a meaningful question. To

answer it, first I have to ask “what do you understand by the word youth?” Youth

is not a time of life, it’s a state of mind. It’s not a matter of rosy cheeks,

red lips or supple knees. It’s the matter of the will. It’s the freshness of the

deep spring of life.

我们是年轻的。“怎样度过青春?”这是个有意义的问题。为了去回答它，我首先要问“从‘青春’这个词中你能理解到什么?”青春不是人生的一个时期，而是精神的一种状态。青春不是桃面、丹唇、柔膝，而是深沉的意志，。青春是生命的深泉在涌流。

A poet said “To see a world in a grain of sand, and a heaven in a wild

flower, hold infinity in the palm of your hand, and eternity in an hour. Several

days ago, I had a chance to listen to a lecture. I learnt a lot there. I’d like

to share it with all of you. Let’s show our right palms. We can see three lines

that show how our love.career and life is. I have a short line of life. What

about yours? I wondered whether we could see our future in this way. Well, let’s

make a fist. Where is our future? Where is our love, career, and life? Tell

me.Yeah, it is in our hands. It is held in ourselves.

一位诗人说“从一粒沙看世界，从一朵花看天堂，把无限放在你的手掌，永恒在一刹那里收藏”。几天前，我有了一个听讲座的机会，从中我学到了很多东西。现在，我想把这些与大家共享。让我们伸出右手，我们可以看到手掌中的展示我们的爱，事业和生活的三条线。我在生活方面这条线很短，那你们的呢?我想知道我们是否可以用这种办法去看我们的未来。好的，让我们一起握拳。我们的未来在哪儿?我们的爱、事业和生活在哪儿?告诉我!是的，它们就在我们的手中。它们被我们自己掌握着。

We all want the future to be better than the past. But the future can go

better itself. Don’t cry because it is over, smile because it happened. From the

past, we’ve learnt that the life is tough, but we are tougher. We’ve learnt that

we can’t choose how we feel, but we can choose what about it. Failure doesn’t

mean you don’t have it, it does mean you should do it in a different way.

Failure doesn’t mean you should give up, it does mean you must try harder.

我们所有人都希望未来能比过去更美好，但是未来能自己变得更好。不要因为结束而哭泣，微笑吧，为你的曾经拥有。从过去来看，生活是艰苦的，但我们是更坚强。我们知道我们不能选择感觉，但是我们能选择和它相关的东西。失败并不意味着你不拥有成功，它只意味着你应该用另一种方式去做这件事。失败并不意味着你应该放弃，只意味着你应该更加努力。

As what I said at the beginning, “we are reading the first verse of the

first chapter of a book, whose pages are infinite”. The past has gone. Nothing

we do will change it. But the future is in front of us. Believe that what we

give to the world, the world will give to us. And from today on, let’s be the

owners of ourselves, and speak out “We are the world, we are the future.”

正如我在前面所说的“我们正在读一本无穷的书中的第一章的第一节。”过去的已经过去，无论我们无力改变，但是未来却在我们前方。相信“我们给了世界什么，世界也将给我们”。并且从今天起，让我们一起做我们自己的主人，一起大声说出“世界是我们的，未来是我们的。”

亲爱的梅斯，

How is everything going! Last time you said you are anxious now because you

find it hard to learn English well. Don’t worry. I think you have to improve

your English step by step. And I will right behind you. In my view, you should

develop you interest on English first. According to my experience, I think

watching English movie, listen to some wonderful English songs and talk in

English on the Internet would be helpful. Secondly, you have to prepare lessons

before class that will help you understand what the teacher says in the class. I

know you feel bored in the class, but you have force yourself to be

concentrated. A few days later you will feel it a little easy to learn English.

The left steps I will tell next time. By the way, we have not seen each other

since your family move to Hunan a year ago. Have you ever thought about going

back to visit me and learn English together in the coming Summer vacation.

Looking forward to your reply.

过得可好。上次你说你现在很焦虑因为你觉得很难学好英语。别担心。我觉得要提高英语你得一步步来。我会帮你的。在我看来，首先应该要培养你对英语的兴趣。根据我的经验，我认为看英文电影，听美妙的英文歌曲以及在互联网上与他人用英语交流会有很大的帮助。其次，你要预习，这样可以让你理解老师在课堂上说的东西。我知道你觉得上英语课很无聊，但你必须强迫自己聚精会神的听。一段时间后，你会感觉到学习英语变得容易些了。剩下的步骤下一次我会告诉你的。顺便提一下，自从一年前你们家搬到湖南后我们就没见过面。你有没有想过暑假的时候回来看看我，我们可以一起学习英语。期待你的回复。

Halloween

Halloween is an autumn holiday that Americans celebrate every year. It means "holy evening," and it comes every October 31, the evening before All Saints Day. However, it is not really a church holiday, it is a holiday for children mainly.

Every autumn, when the vegetables are ready to eat, children pick large orange pumpkins. Then they cut faces in the pumpkins and put a burning candle inside. It looks as if there were a person looking out of the pumpkin! These lights are called jack-o-lanterns, which means "Jack of the lantern".

The children also put on strange masks and frightening costumes every Halloween. Some children paint their faces to look like monsters. Then they carry boxes or bags from house to house. Every time they come to a new house, they say,"Trick or treat! Money or eat!" The grown-ups put treat-money or candy in their bags.

Not only children, but most grown-ups also love Halloween and Halloween parties because on this day,they can disguise themselves as personages or ghost as their imaginations will lead them. This bring them the satisfaction of being young.

万圣节前夕

万圣节前夕是美国人年年都会庆祝的秋季节日。它的意思是“神圣的夜晚”，在每年的10月31日，也就是万圣节前夜。但实际上这不是一个真正的宗教节日，而主要是孩子们的节日。

每年秋天蔬菜成熟可以食用的时候，孩子们就会挑出大个儿的橙色南瓜。然后在南瓜上刻上一张脸，把一根点燃的蜡烛放在里面。看起来就好像有人在向南瓜外面张望。这些灯就叫做“iack-o-lantems”，意思也就是“杰克的灯”。

每年万圣节前夕孩子们还戴上奇怪的面具，穿上吓人的服装。有些孩子把脸刷成怪物。然后他们拿着盒子或袋子挨家挨户串门。每来到一个新房子他们就说：“不款待就捣乱!给钱还是吃的!”大人们就会把用来招待的钱或糖放在他们的袋子里了。

不仅孩子，许多成年人也喜欢万圣节前夕和万圣节前夕晚会。因为这一天他们可以根据自己的想象把自己装扮成名流或幽灵。这会带给他们年轻的快感。
