Last week， my friend asked me to go to visit his hometown with him。 I felt

so excited and wanted to have a look at the scenery。 My parents allowed and I

planned to play for a week。 I felt so free to leave home and could do what I

wanted。 I picked up the fruits and caught the fish in the clear river。 It was

such fun for me。 But when I saw my friend talked happily to his grandparents， I

felt a little lost。 I started to miss my parents。 I missed the food my mother

cooked and the way she complained。 So when I got home， I was very happy and grew

up。

There is nothing complicated about eating a proper diet. For good health,

eat a variety of foods. Do not eat the same foods day after day! Foods should be

selected everyday from each of basic four. They are the four groups of food

essential to proper nutrition: the milk group, meat group, vegetable-fruit

group, and bread- cereal group, Your body will then be supplied with all the

nutrients it requires; they are water, minerals, carbohydrate, fats and oils,

proteins, and vitamins. A persons diet is determined by his attitudes, likes

and dislikes. If you eat foods from each of the basic four groups each day, you

will have a balanced diet.

Yesterday, my mother clean the house, she did the big cleaning, so she searched every corner of the house, many old things were dig out, like the toys when I owned at the very early age. But there was one thing surprised me most, it is my photo album, my mother was happy to find it, she opened it to me, I saw myself in different stages. The photo album recorded me since I was born, I saw the wonderful moment my parents wrote, like the date I first talked, my parents took the picture of the moment. Seeing these moments, I felt so thankful to my parents, for not only they recording these beautiful moment, but also for they raise me up, they are such good parents that they cultivate me with all their hearts. I will return them when I grow up.

昨天，我的妈妈打扫了房子，她做了大扫除，所以她搜索了房间的每一个角落，很多旧东西被翻出来，比如我很小时候就有的玩具。但是有一样东西最让我震惊，那就是我的相册集，我的妈妈很高兴找到了它，她向是打开了相册集，我看到了不同时期的自己。相册集记录了从我出生起的一切，我看到了父母写下的美好时刻，比如我第一次说话的日子，他们也拍下了这个时刻。看到这些，我很感激父母，不仅仅是为了他们记录下的这些美妙的时刻，也是因为他们把我养大，他们是如此称职的父母，全心全意地养育了我。等我长大了要回报他们。

“总是向你索取却不曾说谢谢你，直到长大以后才懂得你不容易……”每当我听起筷子兄弟的《父亲》这首歌的时候，总是想起我的爸爸。

我家住在农村，以种地为生。爸爸独自一个人撑起我们的家，想一想我的眼泪就想脱眶而出。爸爸头上那一根根银白色的头发，代表着这些年他为这个家付出了多心血，操过多少的心。还有他那略有些驼背的身躯，从这里就可以看出来他为这个家也为了我，付出了比一般的父亲还要多的力气。爸爸为了能让我好好上学，在学校吃饱喝好，不让我担心家里，我每次去上学出门前爸爸总是轻松而高兴的样子送我出门，而且左嘱咐右嘱咐“带上厚衣服，钱别掉了，也别乱花…”我总是不经意的：“哦哦，知道了”!其实我知道，爸爸是装出来的，他内心其实很累了。

爸爸把我当成一个宝贝，有点什么活尽量不让我干，不过他实在忙不过来的时候，也让我去帮忙，忙完一天，爸爸买好吃的让我吃。在我记忆中，我从刚刚懂事到现在，我是衣来伸手饭来张口，我要什么他就给我买什么。有时候我需要新衣服了，即使爸爸妈妈再没有空，爸爸也会催着妈妈抓紧给我去买。但是爸爸身上总是穿着一件破旧的衣服，把他用来买衣服的钱都给我买了衣服。爸爸对我这么好还不是让我好好学习，考上大学给他争光。我现在也没辜负爸爸对我的期望，我虽然现在读高中，但是我在班里成绩排在前五名，班主任对我说照这样学下去一定能考上好大学。我回家告诉爸爸，爸爸心里也很高兴。我心中也铭记着爸爸对我说过的最多的一句话“只要你好好学习，考上好大学，爸爸下再大的力，吃再多的苦我也愿意”。我带着这句话一直走到现在，它寄托着对我的希望，我不能弃它于不顾。

爸爸，我多想对你说：“这些年你这么累，等我工作挣钱了，你就可以歇着了”。我有一个这么好的爸爸，我觉得这是我的荣幸。

每个人都有自己的童年，而大多数人的童年都是充满快乐的，我的童年也充满了快乐。

记得那是发生在在我五岁时的事情。有一次，爸爸带我去文化中心玩“跳跳床”。到了那里，爸爸对我说让我先玩，他要去看书。可能是我玩的太高兴了，竟然忘记了爸爸说的话。我玩累了，想回家。可跑遍了整个广场都没找到他。正当我无精打采的时候，突然发现，广场上在发奖品。我禁不住好奇心的驱使，于是便走了过去。只见一个姐姐说：“只要上台表演就可以的奖品哦!”我便上台唱了一首英语歌“one，tow，three……”那个姐姐就个我发了一把太阳伞。我举着伞，高高兴兴的回家啦。可爸爸看完书，却找不到我了。这可把他急坏了，差点哭出来。我回了家，妈妈赶紧个爸爸打了个电话，爸爸这才赶回来，看到我正安然无事的坐在沙发上，他才松了一口气。

现在，只要一看到挂在墙上的那把太阳伞，我就会想起这件事，想起我快乐的童年。

It was the third day of our winter holiday. Today, there are many business in my mother’s netpany. So my mother told me to help my uncle who is the manager of my mother’s netpany. I sat in my mother’s office and help her answer the telephone.

While I was free, I was writing my homework. Although I also have a lot of time to do my homework, I still do it. Because in my mother’s office, I had nothing to do. If I did nothing, I was wasting my time and my life. I can’t do the foolish thing. We should take good use of our time.

ncreased stress results in increased productivity--up to a point. However,

this level differs for each of us. Its very much like the stress on a violin

string. Not enough produces a dull. harsh sound. Too much makes sharp, annoying

noir, or causes the string to snap. However, just the right degree can create

magnificent tones. Similarly, we all need to find the proper level of stress

that promotes optimal performance, and enables us to make harmonious music. Good

health is more than just the absence of illness. Rather, it is a very robust

state of physical and emotional well being that acknowledges the importance and

inseparability of mind/body relationships. In the next program. I hope you will

join me in the pursuit of learning how to exploit stress, so that it can work

for you. and make you more productive, rather than self-destructive.

A dream is to a man what wings are to a bird. With a dream in the deep heart＇s core, a man is spontaneously driven to hitch his wagon to a star. A dream is an inexhaustible source of energy that keeps our enthusiasm burning, and kindles our desire to enhance our spiritual cultivation, refine our character, and upgrade our quality of life. A life without a dream is like a bird with broken wings, confined to a cage and oblivious of what lies beyond the range of its vision. On the contrary, a man with a dream is like a warrior armed with ambition, foresight and gallantry, daring to step into an unknown domain to make a journey of adventure. It is dream that adds fullness, variety, and spice to our life and makes it worth living.

I have a dream. It is a dream that is deeply rooted in human nature. I dream that one day people of all origins can live in harmony and peace without being discriminated against or persecuted. the bounty of the earth can be shared by every single human being. Mutual respect will guarantee the existence and continuation of the diversity of customs and cultures. Love, sympathy, and cooperation will alleviate the sufferings and disasters inflicted upon our fellow men. Respect for basic human rights will put an end to social injustices and evils. When my dream comes true, all men will be truly equal, happy, and free.

《简爱》这本书是我很久以前看的了。最近又看了一遍，要说这本书里面让我感触最深的莫过于简·爱小时候的可怜遭遇，她少年时的坚韧。

我在看见她舅母对待她时恶毒的言语以及她舅母三个儿女的行为，看到简被他们几人欺负，我的眼睛不由得一酸，心也有些疼痛。之后又再次扪心自问：“如果我是简我能坚持么?我能像简那样长大后你不去愤世嫉俗么?”我相信我不会。因为从小我的环境太好了。从小便是在爸爸妈妈爷爷奶奶的宝贝下长大。从没有受过苦，受过累。之后，在一位善意的女仆的帮助下，她去了那所学校。在那所条件艰苦的学校里，简刻苦的学习，她也学得很快。没有抱怨过，只有感觉有些许的宽慰，不知是不是因为在她舅母家的痛苦日子让她感觉现在的生活反而很好。

我两次看到简在学校的日子，总是会放下书静静地想着：简她真的好厉害!在经历了那么不公平的生活后，在那么艰苦的环境下，她仍能保持着心态。就好像之前一切的不幸都是上天对她的考验，考过之后，她从中成长，她的心灵越发的美丽，而不是变的扭曲。这也许就是简的坚强体现吧~若她脆弱那么她就会变成不思进取，厌世的人。

再到之后她的默默离去。她毅然离开了爱德华·罗杰斯特。但是简却在爱德华最窘迫的时候回到他的身边，照顾她，陪伴他。这里，简对爱德华的爱让我感动。

哭过了，我们要学会坚强。

——题记

一、黑白的简单世界

时间像流水一般好多年好多年的过去了，人也渐渐的张大了，在这个浮动的忧伤的世界中。很偶然的发现，自己已不是哪个什么都会告诉妈妈的小女孩了，我已经学会了用自己的眼睛去审视这个世界，去洞察那些光芒后的黑暗。

很喜欢那种颓废的生活，关上灯做在角落里，独自细品着我一个人的世界。有时候，起床，梳头，拿着一盒牛奶，拉开了窗帘，坐在电脑前，看着QQ上的那些头像由彩色一下变成灰色。然后倾听着手指在键盘上跳动的声音，透明而简单，如同只有一个音符的音乐。这世界，好象仅我一个人存在。

向往那些悲伤的文字，简单的片段，读着它们的时候，空气中好象弥散着淡雅的味道，然后我体会着那种明媚的忧伤。觉得生活很简单，简单得似乎只有我一人，听着音乐写作业，满脑子什么也没有，只剩下一些黑白色彩。没有记忆存在的黑白世界。

曾经有人告诉过我，人活着是要找到自己存在的价值的。但我没有。是因为我太笨?还是我真的不是一个有价值的人?如果上帝允许，我想要一双翅膀，一双洁白的翅膀，我自己的翅膀，然后我带上它逃离这个世界，我太软弱了，我不想一个人轻抚自己的伤痛。会有人说我低调，会的，但我不管，我只要做自己。

二、驿动的心

喜欢看星星，黑黑的夜里一个人在楼上看星星，很孤单的感觉，我比较喜欢的，躺在地上看星星。我觉得星星是孤单的东西，很奇怪的感觉，看着星星，就像看到一个自己。

你知道吗?闭上眼睛，我能听到花开的声音，一种细小的，却很繁华的声音，那种感觉，让人在一瞬间归于平淡。我很像住在水里的游鱼渴望着飞翔，当自己下决心开始起飞的时候，却很悲伤的发现自己只不过是一条普通的小鱼。记不得在哪儿看到过，鱼在没有摆脱尾巴之前，只是清水里没有观众的舞娘，在最狭小的舞台里，想飞却被束缚的鱼。

太阳下山的时候，一个人在学校的篮球场上踩着线走，影子在后面拉着好远好远，脚下那根线条，在我面前无限延长。旁边某个男孩子的篮球，在头顶画过一条漂亮的弧线后，落入近处的草丛中，一下子滚了好远。

看过清晨草尖上的露珠吗?纯洁，晶亮的小家伙，从叶子上滑下时，绽开了一大片灿烂的光辉，我认为露珠是夜的精灵。精灵!多好的一个词，那些我看不见的小精灵们，你们可以听到我的喊声吗?

三、四度空间

周杰伦的世界是八度空间，而我呢?一个简单的四度空间，简单的透明的世界。我希望自己的世界可以一直如黑白两色般的简单。也许我是个唯美主义者，我看什么东西的角度都很朦胧，所以我希望自己能在一个透明的空间里，听着花开的声音。

四、南飞的鸟

那些仓皇南飞的鸟儿，带走了谁的思念?我的画，很少有彩色的，我认为，黑白两色已足够去描绘出这种我想的感觉了。

我喜欢江南，被历史锁上的江南，如水般的江南。我一直认为最美的江南是下雨时在乌篷船里看到的江南，是坐在河边小茶馆里透过茶杯上水雾看到的江南，透明的江南。这些点点滴滴的事情让我觉得很伤感。

但我说了：哭过了要学会坚强!

I went to visit the Great Wall this summer.Last week ,my mother took me to Beijing by train,the city of Beijing was really nice,we visited the Tiananme and took some pictures,then we came to a resturant to have dinner,at the table,I met some Forigners,we became friends and they left their E-mail to me ,I enjoyed this trip very much!

It s 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 year s 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 year s 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 that s 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.

That s amazing and wonderful!

I ll 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.

Dear David,

Im glad to receive your letter. I have learned from your letter that you are concerned about the smog which frequently appears in some areas of China.

Thank you for your concern. Im also very worried about such terrible weather because it has brought much inconvenience or rather harm to peoples health such as traffic jam, road accidents, bad coughs, throat hurts and ever lung cancers and so on.

As everybody knows, a good environment comes from good protection. So we should do what we can to make a difference. Try to drive less and choose air-friendly products. Only when everyone has the environmental awareness can we have cleaner air.

Hoping to hear from you soon and share your good ideas.

From Monday until Friday most people are busy working or studying, but in

the evenings and on weekends they are free to relax and enjoy themselves. Some

watch television or go to the movies; others participate in sports. It depends

on individual interests. There are many different ways to spend our spare

time.

Almost everyone has some kind of hobby. It may be anything from collecting

stamps to making model airplanes. Some hobbies are worth a lot of money; others

are valuable only to their owners.

I know a man who has a coin collection worth several thousand yuan. A short

time ago he bought a rare ten-yuan piece worth 250 yuan. He was very happy about

the purchase and thought the price was reasonable. On the other hand, my son

collects match boxes. He has almost 600 of them but I doubt if they are worth

any money. However, to my son they are extremely valuable. Nothing makes him

happier than to find a new match-box for his collection.

Thats what a hobby means, I guess. It is something we like to do in our

spare time simply for the fun of it. The value in money is not important, but

the pleasure it gives us is.
