Does Robot Have Self-consciousness

It is known to all that robot is invented by human being and it is just the program set by scientists. What the robot does will follow the program, theoretically, it has no life and won’t have self-consciousness. But in the screen, many movies show that in the future, robot may have self-consciousness, which will challenge human beings. In the early film, The Matrix, showed the audience that the computer program would do what they want and out of people’s control. The hottest TV series West World, describing a world built by human beings, as the players to play with the robot that looked like the real man. These robots started to have their consciousness after upgrading. They rebelled their fate and fought with human beings. Though the fact that robot is still a machine now, who knows what will happen with the development of technology.

Nowadays, many families have a dog or a cat as a pet. Some people think

that pets are good and helpful companies. Some of them even go so far as saying

that animals are as good as humans, and their rights should be respected .Senior

citizens are especially fond of keeping pet because they are always feeling

lonely at home and they see the cats or dogs as their partner.

But some other people do not like pets. They say that animals are noisy,

dirty and dangerous. They think laws should be made to forbid people from

keeping pets in cities and towns.

In my opinion, pets are loyal friends that will never betray us. Staying

with pets, we shall enjoy happiness and feel relaxed. Most important of all,

keeping pets helps people to reduce loneliness and forget their unpleasant

things for the time being.

New Year Party

On New Years Eve, our class had a party. The atmosphere was good. It was out of the ordinary from the very begining. The boy student from one bedroom gave an unusual performance. We saw a boy named Li Xinmin turn off all the lights in a sudden snap. Then with three resounding crow of a cock echoing in the hall, the hall was again brightly lit in a snap.

Then, the representative of the bedroom Zhu Guozhang asked us to guess a line of a poem related to the above situation. He added that Li Xinmin alone was born in the year of the dog and the other three were all born in the year of the chicken. They left us all in confusion. And it was our monitor who was quickwitted. He shouted our, "The day breaks as the cock crows three times at dawn."

The hall After that, they had another item. This time Li Xinmin was placed in the middle of the circle. While he was standing there, the other three stood around him, each bowing down to him at an angle of 120 degrees. It was an idiom. This time I got it right:"The dog stands out among a group of chickens."

Its a new year! Its a new year! All families were in a happy atmosphere of holiday. I have a good time in the Spring Festival because we are playing firecrackers together!

A black day, people pick up firecrackers, lit a piece of incense, a little, people ran down the back, over his ears, "Ping pong......" My soul went to the winds, the people are sick, I also put together and the others burst with joy, excitement, "Ping pong......" The sound of the night, every household all night lights!

To take a box of fireworks, dont look at such a small box of fireworks, its power can be strong, the first sound scared me terrified, I said: "this automatic speaking small fireworks so great power!" The sound of the fireworks is all the same, and the shape is not really pleasing. I put out a stick like a cigarette, "creak and squeak." A small yellow thing flew out, "Wow, its beautiful!"

Waking up on New Year, everybody dresses up. First they extend greetings to

their parents. Then each child will get money as a New Year gift, wrapped up in

red paper. People in northern China will eat jiaozi, or dumplings, for

breakfast, as they think "jiaozi" in sound means "bidding farewell to the old

and ushering in the new". Also, the shape of the dumpling is like gold ingot

from ancient China. So people eat them and wish for money and treasure.

Southern Chinese eat niangao (New Year cake made of glutinous rice flour)

on this occasion, because as a homophone, niangao means "higher and higher, one

year after another." The first five days after the Spring Festival are a good

time for relatives, friends, and classmates as well as colleagues to exchange

greetings, gifts and chat leisurely.

China has 56 ethnic groups. Minorities celebrate their Spring Festival

almost the same day as the Han people, and they have different customs.

whats your plan for dragon boat festival?

As a chinese, I was really ashamed of having a little knowledge of dragon boat festival. Perhaps I was born in northern city, though my city is nearby sea, it has been built a U port which I can only see cargo ships and cant see the sweeping ocean. So I have never see the dragon boat contest since I was born. So the dragon boat festival is just a holiday for eating Zong Zi. My mother made Zong Zi when I was a child. Because there was no supermarket, we couldnt buy finished product from market. However, now, we can buy anything in supermarket, so my mother didnt make them anymore. The boat festival began to fade out my mind.

In reality, young people began to have a bug to celebrate foreign festivals, such as Christams, Saint Valentines day, April Fools Day, some people also celebrate Easter in church. Talk about Dragon boat festival, its the same as some foreign conventional festivals, such as Witchs Day in Czech. People burned the witchs puppet so as to welcome spring. Some people are willing to celebrate foreign festivals because they like alien culture. And vice versa, foreigners who like China also concern about Chinese traditional culture.

After new holiday regulation, we have three holidays during the dragon boat festival. So many people will choose this time to travel. People who lived in Xiamen are able to visit Xiapu or Wu Yi mountain, these tourist attractions are in Fujian province,which is suit a short tirp. but Id like to stay at home for my decorate painting. I decide to draw two canvases about Christmas, its really a big project. Then Ill hang them on the new house wall. I must start it now, or I cant finish them before Christmas eve. But I preceive its a little difficult to draw them in such a hot season. ​

你的端午节计划是什么?

作为一个中国人，我对端午节有点了解真是惭愧。也许我出生在北方城市，虽然我的城市在附近的海，它已经建立了一个U端口，我只能看到货船和无法看到席卷大海。所以我从出生起就再也没有见过龙舟比赛。所以端午节只是吃粽子的节日。当我还是个孩子的时候，我妈妈就做了粽子。因为没有超市，我们不能从市场上买到成品。然而，现在，我们可以买任何东西在超市，所以我的母亲没有让他们了。端午节开始淡出我的脑海。

在现实中，年轻人开始有了庆祝外国节日，如圣诞节、情人节、四月愚人节，也有些人庆祝复活节教堂。谈端午节，它同国外的一些传统节日，如巫婆的一天在捷克。人们焚烧巫婆木偶以迎接春天。有些人愿意庆祝外国节日，因为他们喜欢异族文化。反之亦然，外国人喜欢中国也关注中国传统文化。

经过新的假期规定，端午节期间我们有三个假期。所以很多人会选择这次旅行。住在厦门的人们都能够访问霞浦或吴仪山，这些旅游景点都在福建省，这是适合短期旅行。但我想呆在家里做我的装饰画。我决定画关于圣诞节的两画布，它真是一个大项目。然后我把它们挂在新房子的墙上。我必须现在开始，否则我不能在圣诞节前夕完成它们。但我认为其借鉴他们在这样一个炎热的季节，有点困难。

The Spring Festival is the most important festival in China. Before the Spring Festival People clean their houses，put red couplets on their gates，and set off firecrackers to drive away the legendary monster “Nian”.

春节是中华民族最重要的节日。春节来临之前，人们要扫尘、贴对联、放鞭炮来驱赶传说中的怪兽“年”。

On the eve of the Spring Festival, families get together and have a big dinner. Dumplings are the most traditional food.

春节前夕，家人都会团聚在一起享受丰盛的年夜饭。饺子是最传统的食物。

The Spring Festival lasts about 15 days long .People visit relatives and friends with the words “Happy new year”. People enjoy the Spring Festival, during this time they can have a good rest.

春节大约持续15天。人们都要走亲访友，相互拜年，还要说：“新年快乐，万事如意。”还可以好好休息一段时间。

Children like the festival very much, because they can have delicious food and wear new clothes .They can also get some money from their elders. This money is given to children for good luck.

孩子们更是喜欢过节，因为他们不仅可以吃到美味佳肴、穿上新衣服，还可以得到很多压岁钱。晚辈得到压岁钱就可以平平安安度过一岁。

With the increasing use of cell phones, spam message has become a heated problem. According to a survey, on average, people receive about 40 pieces of spam message per month. Spam message can disturb, confuse, or even threaten people at any time.

Generally, there are two tesons for the spam epidemic. On one hand, due to the face that text message is a comparatively cheap channel, many companies take advantage of it to advertise their products or servies. Whether people are willing to receive the message is neglected. On the other hand, those holding lots of imformation on cell phone users sell the information and make money our of it.

To solve the problem of spam message, people should make joint efforts. The government should set up laws to severely punish the illegal advertisers and those who disclose information. Cell phone researchers and developers should upgrade the products and enable them to delete the spam automatically. Should people ace together, they will be free from the spam message.

我20**年的这个春节，过的说好不好，说不好又不是那么不好，反正有那么一个“先苦后甜”的意思。

阴历20的那几天，我的课外班还没结束，几乎天天有课。因为我妈妈工作的地方春节不放假，我原本打算去找在安阳的姐姐玩，上完课都24了，加上春运，这件事就泡汤了。直到年三十那天，我一直无所事事，作业写了点，玩都感觉没意思了，我对春节的原有的期盼都燃烧殆尽了。

大年初三，姐姐从安阳回来了。姐姐一回来就缠着妈妈说要回老家，妈妈只好很不情愿的放弃了生意，和我们一起回了老家。

我们回老家不是回我奶奶家，而是在我大姨家住下。我哥嫂他们天天开车带着我们游山玩水，一跑就是一天。去猿人山滑雪那次，是我第一次滑雪。到了准备大厅，我欣喜若狂，准备好了，进去了，我才明白，真心不好滑啊！按在脚上的滑雪板太长了，一摔倒就站不起来了，我好不容易站上了传送带，又在传送带上摔倒了，我历尽千辛万苦上去了，要鼓足勇气从坡上向下冲下去，冲了一半又摔倒了，只好连滚带爬的滚了下去。放弃了滑雪板，我去租了一个滑雪圈，累的气喘吁吁拉到了坡上，结果呢，我那俩小侄子小侄女上去一把把我的圈抢来，俩人一坐滑了下去，我愣了，又累又气，看在他们小的份上就让着他们了。我又累又饿，去大厅买了碗泡面吃，刚泡好，那俩调皮蛋又来了，呼噜呼噜给我吃的剩了一碗汤，我又买了一碗，又等了n长时间才吃上泡面。

我们游玩了好多地方，是那俩调皮蛋的捣乱让我觉得更有意思了。

在老家的最后一天，我们大聚餐，一起吃了火锅。第二天早上6点多，我上吐下泻，胃疼，整的我半死半活的。”我没吃多少东西呀！怎么会这样呢？“我捂着肚子小声低估。”你说呢，人家聊天你使劲吃，就你吃的多，俩冰淇淋，三杯橙汁，两杯酸梅汤，还有半杯黄酒，不出事儿才怪呢！“嫂子摇了摇头说道。

我这个春节寒假真是别有一点味道啊！

The  new year, a new start, when I stand on the edge of a new year, I cant help thinking about my plan of next year.

Just as the old saying：“Well began is the half of the success.”So I decide that I should be at work while the others are still relaxing ，and then, at the beginning, Im quicker than the others and of course I will get better result than the others.

But, what I really decide to do is that I must make good of anytime I can spare though it seems impossible. While, I will do my best to live up with what I have planned, and the result will prove it.

新的一年，新的开始，当我站在新年的边缘时，我禁不住想起我明年的计划。

正如俗话所说：“好的开始是成功的一半”，所以我决定我应该在工作，而其他人仍然放松，然后，在开始的时候，我比其他人更快，当然我会得到比其他人更好的结果。

但是，我真正决定要做的是，无论何时何地我都要好好利用，尽管这似乎是不可能的。同时，我会尽我最大的努力实现我的计划，结果将证明这一点。

农历正月初一是春节，又叫阴历年，俗称“过年”。这是我国民间最隆重最热闹的一个古老的传统节日，这是我们小孩子最最盼望的日子，俗话说得好：“大人望种田啊，小孩望过年啊。”过年最主要的.是能吃饺子、放鞭炮、还有更实惠的就是可以得到压岁钱了。

今年过年我就学习包饺子了，我跟着母亲到了姑妈家。母亲首先走进厨房兴致勃勃的帮姑妈包饺子，我闲着没事干也来到厨房学着包起了饺子。我看见母亲把包面皮摊开放上瘦肉料然后卷起皮子，做成了一个弯弯的大饺子，我也学着她的样子做了起来，可是我包了一个歪歪扭扭的饺子。母亲悄悄的在我的饺子里放了一枚硬币，我也乘着母亲不注意也在她的饺子里放了硬币。不一会我们就在说说笑笑中将饺子包完了。过了一会我听见姑妈叫着：“吃饺子了”。我的姐姐妹妹们都等不及的跑过来。母亲笑着说：“今日我要尝尝我儿子的饺子”。我也高声叫起来：“我也要尝尝我自己的饺子”。母亲“笑里藏刀”地笑起来了。我也咪咪地笑着。母亲一口咬下去，我两眼看着母亲也一口咬下去，“哎呀”。我和母亲异口同声地说：“我的饺子里怎么也有硬币啊?”这时可把大家都给乐坏了。

到了晚上，姑妈说：“给压岁钱了哦”我一听，第一个冲了上去。姑妈给每个人都发了一个红包，我迫不及待的打开一看里面放着一个纸条。我看了一看，条子上面写着“好好学习、天天向上”，“哎!”还是二爹豪爽地给了我们一个大红包，我打开看了看，“啊!一千元!”可把我乐坏了。我一蹦三尺高。妹妹们最淘气了，她们三个可在我家里是出了名的“淘气三剑客”啊!她们对我说：“哥哥我们也送给你一个红包”，我想今日她们给我送红包，可真是太阳从西边出来啊!这里面肯定有鬼，于是我想了想就把红包对着她们一打开，突然一只只虫子向她们面前跳过去。她们吓得落荒而逃了，我在后边哈哈大笑。

你们看，这个春节够有趣味的吧!放鞭炮、猜谜语等等活动都是在我们家里开展的，房间里一直充满着欢声笑语。

Summer can be very hot in southern taibei where the temperature usually goes up to 32"C or more. Because of the heat it is a trying experience to go to school or do anything else in a place that is not air-conditioned. Also because of this I stay at home most of the time during the summer vacation and only occasionally go to the beach to plunge myself into the cool water as a way to keep my body less sticky. Actually I like swimming and think nothing is more refreshing than a swim. In the summer vacation that has just ended I went swimming many times with my classmates and we all had a good time. This summer vacation, however, was not spent entirely in seeking fun. As a second-year senior student I had to prepare myself for the college entrance examinations that were only a year away. In other words, I must find time to study, too. So I divided my time between work and play during the summer vacation and derived much benefit from this arrangement.

I spent this summer vacation in quite a different way. I used to run about every day in previous summer vacations, but this summer vacation I simply could not afford to do so. I would soon be in the last year of my high-school education and would after graduation be up against the college entrance examinations. Though those examinations were still a year away, I had to start early to make myself well prepared by reviewing all those things I had learned at school and this summer vacation was the ideal time for me to do this. At first I was rather dismayed at the thought of this, but later I thought it was better this way because by working hard this summer I could count on endless happy summers to come. With this in mind I then set to work like anything and only occasionally went out for a change or did some physical. I was not at all bored by this kind of life, for I was sustained by a hope.

春节期间，人们用红灯笼和春联装饰房子，穿上各种颜色的衣服，经常拜访亲朋好友，或者一起吃饺子、鱼、肉和其他美味的食物。孩子们盼望着收到红包，他们一起玩烟花，开心地玩着。

During the Spring Festival, there are carnival activities such as dragon and lion dancing in the street. CCTV will hold a grand Spring Festival gala.

春节期间，街上有舞龙舞狮等狂欢活动，中央电视台将举行盛大的春节联欢晚会。

再过两天就是春节了，一想起来我就兴奋，今天我和妹妹吃完午饭就催着爸爸去给我们买烟花了，于是爸爸开着车带着我和妹妹来到了金牛潭买烟花，一到那里我就立马跳下车和妹妹跑进商店里开始挑我们喜欢的烟花了，我早已想好了我要买什么一到那我就朝着目标前进，但还是买漏了几样。之后又买了几瓶雪碧和可乐就回家了。第二天我听爸爸说我弟弟下午就要来了，我一听兴奋的蹦来蹦去，下午快到吃晚饭的时候爸爸就叫着我和他去接弟弟，我毫不犹豫的答应了，到了火车站，弟弟早已在那里恭候多时了他们坐上车，和我们有说有笑的回家了。

吃罢晚饭，我和弟弟就拿着烟花跑出来玩了，来到场一看上已经有人在放烟花了，我和弟弟先拿出一个弟弟最喜欢的降落伞，引线点燃之后我只见天空中飞一个筒子，接着是一阵噼里啪啦声接着一个红色的降落伞慢慢的飘落下来。之后我们又放了很多不同的烟花开心极了。不知不觉时间到了12点天空中想起来一阵阵烟花声，我和弟弟就跑到到了窗前，只见窗外五颜六色外面的礼花琳琅满目的面前，礼花一个接一个吧发射，炸开，耳旁轰隆轰隆的想着，突然一个离我很近的礼花开始放了，礼花的声音很大很大，好像原子弹爆炸了一样，但我还是目不转睛看着，因为我从来没有这麽近距离的看过烟花。弟弟也在认真的看着，而那巨大的响声好像没有响似的不一会礼花渐渐地少了下来我和弟弟的任务完成了，于是就上床睡觉了。第二天我起的最早，因为外面到处都在放爆竹根本睡不着，我起来后，穿上我的新衣服跑出来，急着叫妈妈起床。在妈妈起床之后，弟弟也起床了，坐了一会我们就会外婆家了，到了中午我又叫着爸爸带我们俩出去玩，于是爸爸就带着我和弟弟去珠江源玩，就这样我和弟弟又打又闹，过完了新年。弟弟要走了，我很舍不得他，这几天我玩的好开心，他走了我不会在那摸开心了，我有要过着我单调的生活了，除非下一快点来到。

哎!年又过完了，弟弟走了开心的画好像退了色，只有黑白两色，只有线条，很单调，一天就是做作业做完作业了呢，就坐在家里看书呀，玩电脑呀，早就玩腻了，偶尔有小朋友来找我玩我才开心一下，这幅画才上了一点淡淡的色画才有了一点生机，但是过了几天画又褪色了，花又谢了。啊!真希望新的一年快点来到。
