列车徐徐驶进北京车站,喘着粗气停下来。啊!我心驰神往的北京终于到了!北京,我来了!

爸爸,妈妈,走,咱们赶快下车吧!我急不可待地喊声起来。

没有回应。我回头一看哎呀!爸爸呢?妈妈呢?怎么一回头的时间,他俩就不见了呢?我,我这可怎么办呀?

顿时,我身体中的水量直冲而上,哇地哭了起来,我的声音简直是鬼哭狼嚎,使整个列车里的人都听到了我这凄凉的痛哭声。

后来,我清清楚楚地听到有脚步声正向我慢慢走来,可我依然哭得万分凄厉。

终于,脚步声近了,我看见一个陌生阿姨,她走到我面前便停止了走动,我不知不觉中已不再哭泣,而是打量着这个陌生的阿姨。

从这个阿姨的口中说出了带有几分柔情的话,她问我:你叫什么名字啊?小朋友,你今年几岁了?你怎么独自一个人在列车里啊?你爸爸妈妈呢?

我不知道该怎样回答这个阿姨突如其来的话,我只是轻轻说了一句:我和爸爸妈妈失散了。

这个陌生阿姨把我牵到了列车的车长那里,阿姨和车长说了几句话,便拉着我的手下了车,我问阿姨:阿姨,你要带我去哪啊?我要爸爸妈妈,我要爸爸妈妈!阿姨对我说:车长会帮你去找你的爸爸妈妈,不过这段时间你将住在阿姨家,阿姨会带你游玩北京许多的地方,好吗?

就这样,我在这个陌生阿里姨家暂时住了下来,可在晚上睡觉时,我时不时便会想起爸爸妈妈,不禁流下了一滴滴眼泪,这时我便会仰望北京的夜空,可这也改变不了我的伤心之情。

陌生阿姨每天七点便叫我起床、刷牙洗脸,还帮我买了许多的东西,陌生阿姨对我说:以后不要叫我阿姨,叫我姐好了,因为我和你只相差了十来岁哦。

在这段既让人悲伤又让人高兴的日子里,我游玩了北京许多景点,去过长城、天安门、故宫、科技博物馆

As the drawing presents, there is a man walking across the street

absorbedly focusing on his cell phone without noticing the surroundings. This

sort of phenomenon is not uncommon and rare in some metropolis, especially among

the youngsters.

What the picture illustrates is the prevailing situation that has long

existed in todays China. That is the mobile phone obsession. With the advent of

information age, people are becoming

increasingly fascinated on the electronic products, especially the cell

phones. Not surprisingly, you could easily notice that most of us are obsessed

in sending messages, playing online games with their mobile phones. It cannot be

denied that this phenomenon may negatively impact the relationship among people,

and therefore they will become estranged and isolated.

Personally, in view of the overuse of mobile phones, I hold that we

individuals should raise the necessary awareness that good relationships are

reinforced by sincere and face-to-face communication.

我们透过了书本,让自己增广见闻。但古人说:“尽信书不如无书”所以,我们要了解更多的东西,光靠书本,还不足以让自己真正体悟作者所写的,也难与作者产生共鸣,因为书本中大多都是作者的感受而非我们亲身经历。所以,唯有透过旅行,才能让我们更加领悟书本和生活中的真实意义,使得生命 更充实,知识更扎实。

旅行是我放假时最期待的事情之一,一家人不论国内、国外,都会玩得欣喜若狂,不必为功课而烦闷,为事情而担忧。 远离了一切的压力和烦恼,为接下来的景点和事情感到十分新鲜、期待,更能够增加家人之间的感情。所以每次只要一跟家人出外旅行,我的内心就会开始有一种莫 名的放鬆和愉快,感受到无与伦比的天伦之乐,真是幸福啊!

与朋友及老师们旅行,那份快乐又跟家人旅行的快乐不同了,别有一番滋味。记 得毕业旅行的时候,那时身体有些不舒服,多亏朋友的帮助,身体慢慢的恢复起来了,同时也感受到了友情的可贵;平时“面有难色”、严厉不茍言笑的老师,也十 分贴心的照顾我。在这次的毕业旅行中,我感受了同学老师细心、无私、和蔼的一面,这又是旅行带给我的心发现!

生命犹如一趟永无止境的旅行,不同的地点,就会有不同的人群,不同的感受和体悟,都可以使我们的记忆更丰富,生命更灿烂。所以,在烦忙的生活中,真的需要安排适当的旅行,旅行使我们增广见闻,生命更踏实。

我希望下一个旅行目的地——高中,能够拥有更美好的回忆、苦涩的甜蜜,相信我,我永远都不会忘记这一趟人生之旅。

When it comes to online shopping, different people holds different ideas

towards it. Some people seem extremely enjoy the way of buying things online

because they feel online shopping is so convenient. Some just don’t believe that

they can buy good quality commodities from Internet. As far as I’m concerned, I

think online shopping creates lots of benefits to people.

Firstly, buying things online is a way of saving time. Compared with the

traditional way of shopping, we have no need to go out to pick up our favorite

goods from store to store. Just a click, we can have things in our shopping cart

and just wait for the goods to be delivered to us. To this extent, not only we

can save the time of finding things from store to store but we don’t need to

spend time on transportation. Thus, we can save lots of time to enjoy fun.

Secondly, buying things online can save our money. People buy commodities

by Internet not only because it saves us time, but also, we can save lots of

money. It is often seen that some people just go to the physical store to check

out the commodities they want to buy and then they would search for their

favorite commodities online and take the order. People do this just because they

know that online goods are usually cheaper than the goods displayed in shop

window because online shop have no need to pay the rent. So, people are more

inclined to buying things from online store.

Thirdly, convenience is the last but not least thing of shopping online.

Since we can buy things online, there is no need to go out to look for things we

want to buy. What we need to do is to simply sit before our computer, search for

things we want to buy, click our favorite thing and then pay our order by our

bank card. And then, you just need to wait for your goods to be delivered to

your home.

In conclusion, shopping online is a convenient, time-saving and money

saving way of buying things. Therefore, we can benefit a lot from shopping

online. That’s the reason of why shopping online has developed faster and faster

in recent years.

在我记忆的仓库里,贮藏着许许多多的名言,像一盏盏指路明灯,或多或少地给予我帮助。其中最令我难忘的是这一句:“加油,你能行!”

那次是在篮球训练时,老师叫我们跳台阶练习弹跳力。那个台阶足有半米高,规定必须双脚跳!可知道,那个台阶就是一脚踏上去也不容易呀!我一走过去就胆惊心怯:“哇,这么高,怎么跳呀!”台阶后面就是灌木丛,要是脚被台阶绊住了,就会摔倒在灌木丛里。“被灌木扎爆了眼睛或摔断了腿,后果就不堪设想了!”想到这里我被吓得满头大汗,倒吸了几口冷气。

弹跳训练开始了,老师让我们先跳十个台阶,我一下子便愣住了。妈呀!我连一个台阶也跳不了啊!怎么可能跳十个台阶呢?正在我心神不定的时候,耳畔传来了妈妈熟悉的喊声:“加油!你能行!”我终于鼓起了勇气,“拼了!”于是,我闭上眼睛,咬紧牙关奋力一跳——不料,我的左脚稳稳的落在了台阶上,右脚却不争气,落空了。

这次的失败让我的勇气被重重挫伤了,这时心里满是胆怯,脑子里全是失败的情景,看着右腿上被碰青的一块伤疤,又想,我做不到,如果摔痛了怎么办?此时,坚强而又温暖的声音再次在我耳边响了起来:“加油,你能行!”这句话顿时又让我产生了信心。此时,我的心里“自信”和“胆小”经过轮番激烈的斗争,最后还是“自信”战胜了“胆小”,我又一次站在台阶前,准备,跳!我一下子腾空而起,双脚稳稳的站在了台阶上。我真的胜利了!

那简单的一句话如甘露般滋润了我的心田,如明灯般指明了前行的路向,我的心灵都为这一句话颤抖着——加油,你能行!

Unlike Martin Luther King’s, my dreams are fair and plain, and there are

many of them. I have a dream from the first time I sit in a car—I want to

drive.

Driving is like running without foot, racing without strength. It’s the

most meaningful way to meet human being’s desire of “faster”. When driving, I

have to put all my spirit to. Operating a car at ease will cost years of

experience.

Driving will take me to my wanting destination, no matter it rains or snows

or winds. I never am afraid of shoes wet, umbrella broken or ears frozen. A car

is rather like a moving house, which protects me completely and helps me rush

directly to the aim hanging ahead. That suits my nature perfectly: love to take

risks conservatively. A smooth ride in a good car is an enjoyable satisfaction.

Seeing rows of trees moving backward rapidly, a feeling of stepping forward will

fill fully in my mind. With music hovering, breeze blowing, my soul flies in the

air.

I was always sick when took a ride of a car, especially when I was young.

Father told me that a driver would never have carsick. That may be one of the

important reasons for me to desire driving.

This summer I am going to learn driving and get my car license. The dream

with all my heart will follow the promise it had made.

Boundless sea to look forward to, give people the beauty, give a person

filled with rage, overwhelming, to sail the boat overturned. In my mind, the sea

is blue world, is also the cradle of life. Pregnant with many free and small

life. The sea is so mysterious, so charming!

Now the sea has changed. The sea is no longer clear, it becomes muddy and

dirty. Washed up on the beach, left is no longer alive and kicking the fish

shrimp, instead of the piles of rubbish, but also mixed with a lot of dead fish

shrimp, stinking. Why is that? Its all because of us. When people admire the

beauty of the seaside, they throw the foul rubbish into the sea. There are also

people living on the beach, the toilet drain pipe to the bottom of the sea.

Whats worse is that the factory waste water flows into the sea in large stocks,

and the sea is dyed in a strange color. Led to the birth of a lot of lack of

brains, low IQ infants, our next generation - bright eyes [voice tender], the

face of the next generation of red, will never see the beautiful blue sea.

Someone once did an experiment. He compared a basin of water to the ocean,

and dropped a drop of ink into the sea. Immediately, the ink slowly spread out,

became shallow and disappeared. The sea water was almost as clean as ever. If

the ink kept dropping, the color of the sea would be deeper and darker, and

eventually it would become a basin of black water. 6 billion people on the earth

produce large quantities of living waste water and industrial pollution every

day. Like ink, it has been injected into the clear sea water. It has become a

polluted lake.

and garden before the rest of the family came down In winter he spent most of

the time reading and writing. In sum mer he liked to get out of doors to work in

the kitchen garden or to take the dog for a walk in the neighbouring woods and

fields Whatever the weather, there was plenty to occupy him.

Although he was a creature of habit, there seemed to be an infinite variety

in his pursuits. He wrote book reviews regularly for two of the national

weeklies. He worked conscientiously his special subject, Indian History, and was

thus one of the world authorities on it;

he collected modern abstract paintings and so had a circle of friends

amongst artists and sculptors; there was hardly anything he did not know about

traditional jazz and he often entertained both British and America n jazz

musicians He was a superb cook and knew a lot about French and German food.

His family adored him and in a sense he was spoiled by them. At first

glance you would have taken him for a retired army officer-his bearing was

erect, his hair was cut short, he was fussy about his clothes, which were always

neat, clean and conventional. He liked to keep fit, and this was reflected in

his clear, steady blue eyes and healthy suntanned complexion. He hardly ever

watched TV, but enjoyed a good film and an occasional evening at the

theatre.
