Oceans becoming more acidicThe worlds oceans are slowly getting more acidic, say scientists.The researchers from California say the change is taking place in response to higher levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.The lowering of the waters pH value is not great at the moment but could pose a serious threat to current marine life if it continues, they warn.Ken Caldeira and Michael Wickett, from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, report their concerns in the journal Nature.Increasing use of fossil fuels means more carbon dioxide is going into the air, and most of it will eventually be absorbed by seawater.

Once in the water, it reacts to form carbonic acid.Scientists believe that the oceans have already become slightly more acidic over the last century.But these researchers have tried to predict what will happen in the future by combining what we know about the history of the oceans with computer models of climate change."This level of acidity will get much more extreme in the future if we continue releasing CO2 into the atmosphere," said Dr Caldeira."And we predicted amounts of future acidity that exceed anything we saw over the last several hundred million years, apart from perhaps after rare catastrophic events such as asteroid impacts."If carbon dioxide release continues unabated, ocean pH could be reduced by as much as 0.77 units, the authors warn.It is not absolutely clear what that means for marine life, however.

Most organisms live near the surface, where the greatest pH change would be expected to occur, but deep-ocean lifeforms may be more sensitive to pH changes.Coral reefs and other organisms whose skeletons or shells contain calcium carbonate may be particularly affected, the team speculate. They could find it much more difficult to build these structures in water with a lower pH.In recent years some people have suggested deliberately storing carbon dioxide from power stations in the deep ocean as a way of curbing global warming.But Dr Caldeira said that such a strategy should now be re-considered."Previously, most experts had looked at ocean absorption of carbon dioxide as a good thing - because in releasing CO2 into the atmosphere we warm the planet; and when CO2 is absorbed by the ocean, it reduces the amount of greenhouse warming.

In China， Mid-autumn Day is considered to be a symbol of family reunion。 On this day， all the family members gather together at home to celebrate this special occasion。 Last year， I could not celebrate the festival with my family because I was in university。 However， this special day left a deep impression on me。

I still remember the atmosphere of that evening。 All the students who could not go back home assembled in our classroom， having a party to celebrate this traditional festival。 We tried our best to show our own enthusiasm。 As an ethnic minority， I performed a peacock dance， which received warm applause。 After the two-hour party， we went out to the playground and sat together to appreciate the moon because it is a tradition on Mid-autumn Day。 We ate moon cakes， played cards， and listened to romantic poems recited by one of our classmates。 In that harmonious atmosphere， nobody felt lonely or homesick even though we were far away from our homes.

Thanks to our classmates， I experienced such a colorful and interesting Mid-autumn Day at my university。 Thus， I learned to value all the festivals I spent during my university life。

Its about one and a half month away from the Chinese New Year, It is a festival celebrated by the Chinese people at the beginning of the lunar calendar year.

As of the Chinese traditional customs, our parents and grandparents will sweep every corner of the house and clean the windows until they gleam, and washing clothes, buying foods and goods for the new years future use and presents.

Children will be the most benefited group during this feast period. One month before that, they are expecting the new clothes, delicious foods. The firecrackers and the years allowance for their increased ages.

In recent years, with the rising of the standard of life, Chinese tend to make various holiday plans to spend a different and meaningful new year. Such as traveling abroad, or be absorbed in their hobbies, and even work.

Why today we try to spend our Chinese new year in such a different way? I think thats because this is a era of free life and personality high-ranking. Though there are still something traditional, our young generation is attempting to make something new and suitable for ourselves. And we would like to take something really worth to be cherished in our memorable treasures. Thats amazing and wonderful!

Ill always keep in mind that the Chinese new year is a great feast inherited from our ancestors, but if necessary, I would like to enjoy it by some ways personal.

my secret worry

while fear of death is universal, my worry about death is so overwhelming that there is not a moment passing without my thinking of it. i never bring this up with any other, just because no one will ever realize the seriousness of this problem. i know it very clearly that as long as there is life, there will be death. in addition, though i am still so far away from death, i have been plagued by the thought of it for years. fortunately, the root of my fear of death lies in my overzealous love for life. i am too timid to think of the end of life, when every worldly affair should be thrown away. how can i carry on without friendship, affection, and joy of being alive? i really hate to leave all these behind. to ease my worry about death, i should make the fullest use of this life i now possess. concentration on this life can at least temporally make me forget about death. as a matter of fact, i really don＇t need to worry so much about death, for i already have too much to worry about this life.

月皎皎照我床，星汉西流夜未央。

明月皎夜光，促织鸣东壁”，那样的夜晚也该在中秋前后吧。肯定不会是玉人和月折梅的冬夜，因为蛰声喧喧。月光分明很好，好得令人无法入睡。它转朱阁，低绮户，用一片清辉点缀人的无眠，厚厚的窗帘也无法阻止它的长驱直入。

月下漫步，脱口而出的往往都是前人的句子。左奔右突，兜一大圈子还是会落到某位先贤手中。仿佛他们在无声的抗议：这片月光是我的。再冥思苦想，还是落了陈窠。别去江边，屈原李白们在行吟。别去桥上，二十四桥明月夜和枫桥夜泊还不够吗?别去树下，月上柳梢头明月松间照疏影横斜暗香浮动早成了名篇......月不该寂寞,熙熙攘攘涌动着的都是它的追随者。只是可惜了我们这些后来人，老是牵人衣袖踩人足跟，被这圆影子折磨得神魂颠倒欲罢不能。诗句是他们的，我的确什么都没有。

月色太美了，美得总想与人分享。于是，思远人怀故乡之心油然而生。这瑶台镜白玉盘，无端把一些游离的思绪集中放大了。它象个会念咒语的美丽妖精，而我们只是懵懂的书生，注定要受它的盅惑不能自拔。于是我们笑自己小时不识月，问它几时有，举杯殷勤相邀，怕它寂寞，还编造了嫦娥玉兔桂花树给它，让它逾发超凡脱俗起来。就是这轮明月，从远古一直照到现在，不晓得给了多少文人墨客无边的灵感，在他们笔下腾挪变化姿态万千。终了还固执地长叹一声，月是故乡明。

月光若有温度，应该是幽寒的，象千年雪峰顶上终年不化的寒冰，需敲开用小火慢慢温了，让它表层松软融化。

I read the Chinese version of “Camille” a few years ago. At that time I was deeply moved by the main character Marguerite Gautier. “Camille” or “The Lady of the Camellias” by Alexandre Dumas, fils, is the story of Marguerite Gautier, a young courtesan, or kept woman, in Paris in the mid 1800s, and how she falls in love with a young man, Armand Duval, and then tries to escape from her questionable past. Unfortunately, it comes back to haunt her and she ends up returning to that life and dies painfully and alone, but with the knowledge that she was a noble woman at heart. When I first began to read the book, I did not care for Marguerite or her attitude or lifestyle, but as I got further into the narrative, I realized that her saucy attitude was a front to cover the lonely woman that she really was. She felt used, abused and unloved, until the gentle Armand Duval came into her life and showed her that he loved her as a person and not for what she could do for him. It must have taken great courage for Marguerite to leave the life she had lived for so long, knowing all along that it was probably too good to be true and would not last indefinitely. And it also showed that Marguerite really loved Armand Duval for she could even change herself for him.

However, happiness didn’t last for long. When M. Duval, Armands father, came to her, pleading for her to leave Armand to save both Armands reputation and that of his younger innocent sister, Marguerite saw a way to become pure of heart, if not in body. She felt that it was her duty, because she loved Armand so much, to do this even though it meant giving up her own happiness and hurting Armand temporarily. She reluctantly returned to her former life, knowing that some day Armand would forgive her. Sadly, she died in debt and basically alone, except for her one female friend, Julie Duprat, who helped her during her illness. She had her journal sent to Armand after her death, explaining why she had made the choices she had. I think Dumass last few lines about Marguerite being the exception, not the rule were quite true, and I also agreed with his view that while her lifestyle could not be condoned, we as a society assume that all of these type of women are cold and heartless, while this may not always be the case. A person can make the wrong choices in life when they are young, and try to redeem themselves, but sometimes past situations prevent them from changing their lives, even though they desperately wish to do so. This applies to both men and women in many different types of circumstances: involvement in crime; drug or alcohol abuse; gambling; prostitution; financial problems; poor marriage choices; etc. And this is the fact, which exists in the whole society.

As far as the other characters in the book, I think Marguerite was right in saying that no one truly cared about her, but only wanted something from her, the only exceptions being Armand and Julie Duprat. Of course, the Comte de G. and Comte de N. wanted her body and appearance. The Duke needed to “wake up and smell the coffee” and realize that she could never replace his dead daughter. If he truly cared, he could have helped her leave her lifestyle without “keeping” her himself. And lastly, Prudence was a blood-sucking leech who used Marguerite almost worse than the men. I also think she was jealous of the fact that Marguerite had so much more courage than herself and someone truly loved her.

Last morning, when tiding my bookshelf, I took this book out of the shelf, and a dried flower flew away from the book. It was pale blue, very transparent, with thin fine veins. a dried flower flew away from the book. It was pale blue, very transparent, with thin fine veins. I held it against the morning light and blew on it. The soft breeze carried it away. Camille is just like the camellia, she could never escape from the destiny of withering. But it wasn’t her fault; it’s because of the evil of Capitalism and the hideousness of that society.

Suddenly, I remembered a saying: “Women are like the flowers”. Those pretty women are like those beautiful flowers; their delicate beauty makes people feel they are the miracle of life. However, even the God envies their beauty. It seems that beautiful women always have tragic endings. As we are normal persons, even we can see the hideousness of humanity that results in their fate of withering, we can at most ask quietly in our hearts: Where have those beautiful flowers gone? Where have they gone?

今天是中秋节，早上还真看不出来中秋的热闹，那平常不过的天却在晚上奇迹的出现那融烈的烟花，花儿是欢迎我似得笑灿了脸，转瞬又换成了下一个，还有那从邻居家传出的骰子声，“铛铛”响。

我呢?当然是跑到超市里买今天的奖品，食品区那里正可谓是超市里的一道风景线，都可以像骨牌那样推到一个全军覆没!我站在那真的有种想暴走的感觉，但事实是我紧咬着牙，忍着被挤的可能冲进去买，还好比较熟悉那里，三下五除，我就把想买的那一大袋抱在怀里，屁颠屁颠地走着。

当回到家时，迎面而来的是姐姐，把我的东西全捧进客厅的桌子上，当骰子和碗放在桌子上时，就决定了“博饼大赛”的开始啦!

轮回着，前几盘，姐姐运气超好，相反的哥哥的运气却超烂，其他人都满平稳的，姐姐那一笑啊，真要咧到耳朵根边上了，这次又轮到我了，我一把抓起骰子，使劲一掷， 骰子 “叮叮当当”的掉在碗中，砰发出清脆悦耳的声音。 骰子又像一只调皮的小猴子，在碗中打起转来。我口中虽然念叨着“胜败乃兵家常事”，可心理却没有大的把握。 骰子终于原地不动了，我小心翼翼地点着数：“一，二，三，四，五，六 是对堂，哈哈!” 我高兴的喊叫着……

家里荡漾着一片温馨的海洋，中秋的月亮现在看起来真的好圆好圆，好亮好亮……

The happiest memory in my childhood was making snowman with my friends. As

I was a little boy, I always went out with my friends to make snowmen and play

with snow when it snowed heavily. We divided ourselves into several groups, two

or three people in each group. Then, we began to make our own snowman. We used

buttons to be snowmans eyes and carrots for its nose. After making our snowman,

we compared ours with others’ to decide whose snowman is the best. Sometimes, we

wrapped our scarfs around snowmen or put our caps on their head, so as to make

our snowman more beautiful. The last time I making a snowman was when I was in

university. But it snowed rarely these years. Thus, making snowman has become

the long-lost fun for me. How I hope it would be snowy this winter!

Perfect Dream Harry Potter

Do you know Harry Potter? If you dont, then you are out of date. Many people love Harry Potter, whether children or adults. I love Harry Potter, too. Last week, I went to Nantong to see the movie "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire".

It was a wonderful movie. In the movie, Harry is the same age as us and he is more handsome than me. Harrys best friends are Hermione and Ron. The movie tells the story of Harrys Fourth Year at Hogwarts. The Goblet of Five selects him to compete as one of four champions in the Throwizard Tournament, despite the fact that he didnt submit his name. The Tournament is very dangerous so his friends are all worried about him. Hermione and Ron try their best to help Harry to prepare for each task. I think their friendship is unbreakable. Cho Chang, who Harry likes, is a Chinese pretty girl. I liked her but I liked Hermione better because she is very clever.

Its very magical! I love magic as much as Harry does. If I lived in a magic world, I could pick up gigantic things easily, I could go to wherever I liked and I could fly on a broom, I could change my hairstyle of any time, I could.

Its a perfect world and its a perfect dream.

中秋节是中国传统节日之一，它称月夕、秋节、仲秋节或团圆节等……

中秋节还有关于它的民谣，如《拜月娥》、《月饼》等……还有习俗也很多比如说：祭月、燃灯、赏月、追月、观潮、猜谜、吃月饼、舞火龙和玩兔爷等等……

每年八月十五都是满月，所以才会叫中秋节，这时的我们都会一家人坐在院子里一边赏月一边吃月饼。姥姥最常给我讲的故事就是关于月亮上的嫦娥仙子、玉兔和桂花树。吃着香香甜甜的月饼听着姥姥讲故事感觉好幸福，姥爷问我：“好吃吗?”我说;“太好吃了!”姥爷说：“你只知道好吃，你知道月饼的来历吗?”我好奇地摇摇头“那好，我来给你讲讲吧，你姥姥只给你讲故事都还没有吃月饼，咱让你姥姥也吃着月饼听故事好不好?”姥爷说：“月饼最初是用来祭奉月神的祭品，后来人们渐渐把中秋节赏月与品尝月饼，作为家人团圆的象征，它代表着平安`幸福，慢慢地月饼也成了节日的礼品了。”姥爷接着问：“你知道月饼名字的来历吗?”我又摇摇头，着急的催姥爷快讲，姥爷说：在很久以前，“月饼”也叫“胡饼，”据说有一年的中秋之夜，唐太宗和杨贵妃赏月吃胡饼，唐太宗嫌胡饼这个名字不好听，杨贵妃仰望着皎洁的明月，随口说出“月饼”，从此“月饼”的名字便在民间渐渐传开。听到这里，我对姥爷说：“这个故事好美、这个月饼好香、好甜!”

可是妈妈又给我讲了一个不一样的故事。妈妈说：“中秋节吃月饼据说始于元代。当时朱元璋领导汉人反抗元朝暴政，约定在八月十五这一天起义，以互赠月饼的办法把字条夹在月饼中传递消息。中秋节吃月饼的习俗更在民间流传开了。”我问妈妈：“中秋节为什么要赏月?”妈妈耐心的回答：“中秋之夜，月色皎白，古人把月圆视为团圆的象征，因此，又称八月十五为团圆节。古往今来，人们常用月圆和月缺来形容悲欢离合。”整个晚上，我都在津津有味的听姥爷、姥姥和妈妈给我讲有关八月十五的各种传说，我都听的入了神。我对妈妈说：“我喜欢每个故事与神话。”妈妈摸着我的头说;“中国有五千年历史文化，中国的传统节日和文化需要我们一起传承、发扬光大，不可以让西方文化所侵蚀。”现在的我虽然不是很明白，但我会记住家人对我说的每句话。

睡觉的时候，妈妈教了我一首词，叫《水调歌头》(北宋，苏轼)明月几时有?把酒问青天。不知天上宫阙，今夕是何年。我欲乘风归去，又恐琼楼玉宇，高处不胜寒。起舞弄清影，何似在人间?转朱阁，低绮户，照无眠。不应有恨，何事长向别时圆?人有悲欢离合，月有阴晴圆缺，此事古难全。但愿人长久，千里共婵娟。妈妈念着词，我听着听着就慢慢的睡着了。

夜里我做了一个梦，梦里有我的老师、我和同学们围坐在一起，听老师讲故事、和同学做游戏、大家有说有笑的在一起吃着月饼欢度中秋佳节呢!

Once， when I was a teenager， my father and I were standing in line to buy tickets for the circus. Finally， there was only one family between us and the ticket counter.

This family made a big impression on me. There were eight children， all probably under the age of 12. You could tell they didnt have a lot of money.

Their clothes were not expensive， but they were clean. The children were well-behaved， all of them standing in line， two-by-two behind their parents， holding hands. They were excitedly jabbering about the clowns， elephants， and other acts they would see that night.

One could sense they had never been to the circus before. It promised to be a highlight of their young lives. The father and mother were at the head of the pack， standing proud as could be.

The mother was holding her husbands hand， looking up at him as if to say， "Youre my knight in shining armor."

He was smiling and basking in pride， looking back at her as if to reply， "You got that right."

The ticket lady asked the father how many tickets he wanted. He proudly responded， "Please let me buy eight childrens tickets and two adult tickets so I can take my family to the circus."

The ticket lady quoted the price. The mans wife let go of his hand， her head dropped， and his lip began to quiver. The father leaned a little closer and asked， "How much did you say?"

The ticket lady again quoted the price. The man didnt have enough money.

How was he supposed to turn and tell his eight kids that he didn‘t have enough money to take them to the circus? Seeing what was going on， my dad put his hand in his pocket， pulled out a $20 bill and dropped it on the ground. (We were not wealthy in any sense of the word!)

Most westerners always celebrate Christmas Day as their major festival, in

order to memorialize Jesus. During that time, they always have several days off,

so they can enjoy this festival with all their hearts. The children often get

together with their friends. The adults are busy with decorating their houses.

They also send the postcards with their best wishes to each other. In the

streets, there are so many Fathers Christmas sending presents to the passers-by.

And everything is on a discount in the supermarkets. Thus the supermarkets are

the busiest places.

In the evening, the families usually have pudding, sandwiches, apple pies

and some other desserts for dinner. After supper, the families always sing and

dance around the Christmas tree. Sometimes, they also go to church. Before going

to bed, the children often hang up their stockings beside their bed, so that

Father Christmas will fill them with presents. It is said that Father Christmas

always drives a deer to the human world and entering into each house from the

chimney. Now the children no longer believe in Father Christmas, but they still

hang up their stockings, because their parents will fill them with presents.
