Innovation consciousness

The cartoon aims at informing us of the significance of the consciousness of innovation. Definitely, no one can deny the importance of it. A innovative spirit can promote the advancement of both individuals and society as a whole. Only those who are keeping on creating new things can make continuous progress and maintain competitive edge. To further illustrate the importance of innovation, I would like to take Steve Jobs as a case in point. How could he, a genius who change the way of modern communication, recreation and even our life, invent so many powerful electronic products without a creative spirit ?

From my perspective, at no time should we overlook the power of the consciousness of innovation. Furthermore, we need to develop a habit of discovering new things, using new methods and applying new thoughts in our work, study or simply everyday life. “Innovation is the spirit of human being’s progress.” A philosopher once said.

创新意识

这幅漫画告诉我们创新意识的意义。当然，没有人能够否认它的重要性。创新精神可以促进个人和整个社会的进步。只有那些不断创造新的东西的人可以不断进步和保持竞争优势。为了进一步说明了创新的重要性，我想以史蒂夫·乔布斯为例。没有创新精神他怎么可能，一个天才的人，改变现代通信方式，娱乐，甚至我们的生活，创造了许多强大的电子产品?

从我的角度来说，任何时候我们都不应该忽视创新意识的力量。此外，我们需要养成一个习惯，发现新事物，用新的方法和新的思想在研究工作，或是生活中应用。一位哲学家曾经说过，“创新是人类进步的精神。”

A book exhibition

Dropped in at National Library to see the National Book Exhibition which will close today. Suprised at the fact that so many kinds of books are published in our country. Thought the childrens books with many pages of colorful illustrations were made very nicely. Bought a copy of the Chinese version of English and American Short Stories at a 20 per cent discount. Am going to read this through in this good season for reading.

书展

信步走到图书馆看即将在今天结束的全国书籍。惊奇的是发现我们国家竟然出版了这么多种的书籍。我觉得富有多页彩色插图的儿童书籍印刷的相当精美。我买了一本打八折的《英美短篇小说》中文版。我要在这读书的好季节里将它读完。

Spring Festival is my favourite festival. This years Spring Festival is in February 8th. On New Years Eve, everyone will wear new clothes. My parents and I will go to the Grandpa and grandmas home to eat Nian Yefan. This is the tradition of our family. At the dinner table, my grandmother will prepare a lot of dishes for us to cook hot pot. These dishes are very delicious. Everyone ate very happy. We have forgotten the troubles of the past year, happy to greet the new year. After dinner, I will go back home with my parents. In eight, I will be fireworks at the

threshold of our home. They are very beautiful. Doing this will make me feel very happy. After I put the fireworks, I will watch the Spring Festival Gala. The Gala adds a mood of celebration in the house as people laugh, discuss and enjoy the performance. At eleven, my parents gave me 200 yuan.

reas, each household must select a red couplets affixed to the door in order to increase the festive atmosphere. I also cleaned the room with my mom. After the event, I will visit friends and relatives with my parents. This is the custom of the Chinese people to celebrate the Spring Festival.

This is my Spring Festival holiday, I had a very happy. What about you

春节是我最喜欢的节日。今年的春节是在2月8日。在除夕，每个人都会穿新衣服。我的父母和我将去爷爷奶奶家吃年夜饭。这是我们家的传统。在餐桌上，我的祖母会为我们准备了很多的菜肴来煮火锅。这些菜很好吃。每个人都吃得很开心。我们忘记了过去一年的烦恼，幸福地迎接新的一年。晚餐后，我将和我的父母一起回家。在八点时，我会在我们家的门槛放烟火。它们很漂亮。这样做会让我感到很开心。放烟火后，我会看春节联欢晚会。在人们的笑声中，晚会增添了一种喜庆的气氛，并享受着表演的效果。在十一点时，我的父母给了我200元。这是我今年的新年钱。0点钟，新年的钟声响起，我们迎来了新的一年。我许了个愿。我希望我们能有一个幸福和健康的生活明年和大家在我的家庭可以快乐。

新的一年的第一天，我的父亲和我在门上贴了春联。每年春节，无论是城市和农村，每个家庭都必须选择一个红色的对联贴在门口，以增加节日气氛。我也与我的妈妈一起打扫了房间。做完这些事后，我会和我的父母去看望朋友和亲戚。这是中国人庆祝春节的习俗。

这是我的春节假期，我过得很开心。你呢？

二月十四日 星期日 雨

春节，即中国人的新年，是中国最重要的节日。从一月末到二月初人们忙着为新年做准备。他们打扫房屋、理发和买新衣服。饺子是最受欢迎的。对那些远离家乡的人们，春节是一个合家团聚的时刻。他们经常回家和家人欢度春节。新年第一天人们访友并互祝新年好运。

Goodafternoon, teachers! Today, I`m very happy to make a speech here. Now, let me introduce myself.

My name is ZhuRuijie. My English name is Molly. I`m 12. I come from Class1 Grade 6 of TongPu No.2 Primary School. I`m an active girl. I like playing basketball. Because I think it`s very interesting. I`d like to eat potatoes. They`re tasty. My favourite colour is green. And I like math best. It`s fun. On weekend, I like reading books in my room. I have a happy family.

My father is tall and strong.My mother is hard-working and tall, too. My brother is smart. And I`m a good student. My dream is to be a teacher, because I want to help the poor children in the future. Thank you for listening! Please remember me!

In the past,people tend to keep on the rail. No matter who doesn’t follow the rules, hewould be criticized by the public opinion. Nowadays, with the rapid developmentof our society, more and more people recognize the importance of creation. The developmentof our country, our society even ourselves need creation.

过去人们倾向于循规蹈矩。无论是谁不安分守己都要被社会舆论批评。如今，随着社会的快速发展，越来越多的人认识到创新的重要性。我们国家，社会甚至自己的发展都需要创新。

First of all,creation is the most important factor to improve the ability of our country. Somepeople think that the essence of the human civilization is the result ofcreation. It is certain that in order to stand a good place in theinternational circle, our country has to train the creative people, so thatthey can make great breakthrough for our mother. However, if our people lack ofcreation, we couldn’t realize our dream to become a great country in the world.In addition, if people in the society are of innovation, it is easy to deliverthe talents to our country to win a better future. And with creative people,the society can get a lot of benefit. For ourselves, creation also veryimportant. The obvious point is to improve people’s confidence. When people makesome small breaktrough, the y will get praise from others, which will make themfeel themseves smart and then become confidence.

首先，创新是提高我国能力最重要的因素。有些人认为人类文明的本质是创新的结果。可以肯定的是，为了能在国际中处于一个好位置，我国必须要培养具有创造力的人才，他们才能为我们的祖国母亲做出重大突破。然而，如果我们人们缺乏创新精神，我们将无法实现成为世界大国的梦想。此外，如果社会中的人都是具有创新性的，向祖国输送人才来赢得一个更好的未来是很容易的。有了创造性人才，社会获益匪浅。对于我们自己来说，创新也是很重要的。最明显的一点是可以提高人们的信心。当人们做出一些小突破时，他们会得到别人的赞扬，这会让他们觉得自己很聪明，然后变得有自信。

All in all, as allof us know that how much importance creation for us. We have to learn as muchas possible knowledge to prepare ourselves to be creative people. In otherwords, we have to study well to serve our county.

总之，我们大家都知道创新对我们大家有多重要。我们要尽量多学习知识来为成为有创新能力的人做准备。换句话说，我们要好好学习来为国家服务。

Innovation is a means of rich life. No innovation, I think, the worlds first electric lamp is not born, we have in the kerosene lamp under the dim light, life for a lifetime; The first plane hasnt appeared, people should pass a few months or even decades of kung fu great hardships, travel long distances to get to the destination; No innovation, society would not be so modern, would not be so closely contact between people. Innovation is important for us! The great playwright Shakespeare once said: "beauty is life, beauty is innovation." This wisdom tells us that should use industrious hands, to create, to decorate our life. The old man is knowledge creation, today we create and where to abandon, abandon the innovation? Innovation is the important guarantee of life towards a better future, is the source of social development.

Innovation is the national rejuvenation, the country rich and strong power. In science and technology changes with each passing day today, every country in the world are scrambling to innovation. No innovation will be out of style, innovation will lag. The reality of our country requires that we want to survive, in order to make our country can stand among the peoples of the world, is to accelerate the pace of innovation to make innovation in the society each industry, each corner. The reform of education innovation, to innovation, scientific and technological innovation. We should be bold practice, have the courage to explore, overcome all kinds of difficulties and setbacks, the front road to innovation that direction.

Our lives need to innovate, our society needs to innovation, our country and nation need innovation. No innovation, no colorful material world. We want to in the innovation strives for the survival, and development. As the scholar will give different reasoned the problem answer, the answer is rich and colorful, if only one answer, then we will see if we are rigid from subjective aspect, is trapped in the box. Therefore, the innovation should also break old ideas, old ways of doing things, only in this way, we can move on the road a solid pace, toward the new century.

创新是丰富生活的手段。没有创新，我想，世界上第一盏电灯还没有诞生，我们还要在煤油灯暗淡的光下生活一辈子;第一架飞机还没有出现，人们要经过几个月乃至几十年的功夫历经艰辛，长途跋涉才能到达目的地;没有创新，社会便不会如此现代化，人们之间的联系也不会如此紧密。创新对于我们来说是何等的重要!伟大的剧作家莎士比亚曾说过：“美是生活，美是创新。”这一至理名言告诉我们，应该用自己勤劳的双手，去创造，去装饰我们的生活。古之人尚知创造，今天我们又哪里能抛弃创造，抛弃创新呢?创新是生活走向美好未来的重要保证，是社会发展的源泉。

创新是民族振兴，国家富强的动力。在科学技术日新月异的今天，世界上各个国家都在争相创新。不创新就会落伍，不创新就会滞后。我国的现实状况要求我们要想求生存，要想使我们的国家能屹立于世界民族之林，就更要加快创新的脚步要使创新落实到社会每个行业、每个角落。教育要创新，改革要创新，科技要创新。我们应当大胆实践，勇于探索，克服前边道路上的种种困难和挫折，向创新这个方向迈进。

我们的生活需要创新，我们的社会需要创新，我们的国家和民族需要创新。没有创新就没有丰富多彩的物质世界。我们要在创新中求生存，求发展。正如那位学者出的一道题会得出不同的有理有据的答案那样，其实答案本是丰富多彩的，若是只能得出一种答案，那么我们就要从主观方面看看我们是不是思想僵化，是不是被局限在框框里了。因此，创新还应破除旧观念，老框框，只有这样，我们才能迈出前进道路上坚实的步伐，走向新世纪。

Recently, there is an exciting news that Alibaba Group has appeared on the market in the NYSE. It changes the traditional business model and provides a bran-new competitive industry, E-business. As we all know, it must be ascribed to the creative force of Jack Ma,chairman of Alibaba. So,we realize that creative spirit plays a vital role in our modern life.

As the old saying goes, innovation is the soul of the nation. With the rapid economy development in the whole world, human beings greatly reckon on creativity in variety of aspects and it is extremely nesessary in our life. First of all, creativity depends the progress and prosperity of a country. For example, our country has achieved anything since we followed the policy of reform and opening. What obvious feature is, the income of people is increasing and the living standard is greatly improved. All changes which have been taken place benefit from creative of our country. Secondly, it has huge effects in technology. If human want to be strong,we can overcome difficulties, such as serious disease, environment pollution, food shortage and so on, therefore we need to use creative spirit to process technology innovation drastically. In addition, everyone also have consciousness of innovation. Everybody have the duty to do some thing to promote the advancement of our society, whatis more, we can obtain joyfully from creative work.

To sum up, human need creativity. It is closely related with our life, and I believe creative spirits are indispensable parts in our lives, and will be more and more importment in the future.

高中组初赛题目

一、阅读能力测试（100分）

请阅读下面的材料，按要求进行阅读能力测试。

不到5岁便夭折的儿童每年有900万。在撒哈拉沙漠以南的非洲地区，产妇死亡概率为33%，这一比率在发达国家仅为0.018%。全球至少有25个国家，大多数为撒哈拉以南的非洲国家，其人口的平均寿命不超过55岁。仅在印度一国，就有超过5000万的学龄儿童连简单的课文也看不懂。

看了上面这段文字，或许你只想把书扔到一边，不去想世界贫穷这件大事。因为这个问题看上去太宽泛、太棘手。然而，我们写这本书的目的就在于，劝你不要那样做。

宾夕法尼亚大学近期的一项实验表明，这一问题的重要性会令我们无比震惊。研究人员发给每个学生5美元，让他们填写一份简短的调查表，然后再给他们看一份传单，请他们为“拯救儿童”（全球慈善机构之一）捐款。传单有两种不同的类型，有些学生所看到的传单是这样的：

马拉维的食品短缺影响着超过300万儿童；在赞比亚，自2000年以来的严重干旱已导致粮食产量下降42%。因此，300万赞比亚人将面临饥饿；400

万安哥拉人（占安哥拉人口总数的三分之一）已被迫离开自己的家乡；超过1 100万埃塞俄比亚人急需食品援助。

另外一些学生所看到的传单上画着一个小女孩，还有这样一些文字：

罗西娅是一个来自非洲马里的7岁女孩，她过着极度贫穷的生活，甚至面临着挨饿的危险。然而，您的经济援助将会改善她的生活。有了您以及其他好心人的支持，“拯救儿童”将与罗西娅的家人以及社区里的其他人一起帮助她，让她能吃饱饭，接受教育，具备基本的医疗及卫生常识。

看了第一份传单的学生平均每人捐了1.16美元。和第一份传单不同，第二份传单展现了一个而不是数百万人的困境，看了这份传单的学生平均每人捐了

2.83美元。这样看来，学生们愿意为了罗西娅而承担一点儿责任，但在面对广泛的全球性问题时，他们就不免有些泄气了。

接下来，研究人员又随机选定了一些学生，先告诉他们这样一个现象，即人们不愿关注那种泛泛的信息，他们更有可能会捐钱给某一特定受害者，然后再给这些学生看那两份传单。结果显示，看了第一份传单的学生平均每人捐款

1.26美元，与事先不知道该现象的学生所捐的钱差不多。然而，看了第二份传单的学生在得知这种现象之后，平均每人仅捐了1.36美元，远远低于不知道该现象的学生所捐的钱。鼓励学生们再想想反而使他们对罗西娅不那么慷慨了，但马里人民也没有因此得到更多的援助。

学生们的反应是一个典型案例，说明了大多数人在面对贫穷等问题时的感觉。我们的本能反应是慷慨，特别是在面对一个身陷困境的7岁小女孩时。然而，正如宾夕法尼亚大学的学生们一样，我们在重新考虑之后常常失去信心：我们捐的那点儿钱不过是沧海一粟，而且这些善款的安全性也得不到保障。这本书会让您再好好想想，如何摆脱那种“贫穷的问题难以解决”的感觉，从一系列具体问题出发，重新审视这一挑战。这些问题只要能得到恰当的定位并为人们真正理解，就能够逐一得到解决。

遗憾的是，关于贫穷的辩论往往不是这样展开的。很多侃侃而谈的专家并没有讨论怎样抗击痢疾和登革热最有效，而是专注于那些“大问题”：贫穷的最终原因是什么？我们应该在多大程度上信任自由市场？穷人能够受益于民主制吗？外来援助可以发挥什么样的作用？等等。

杰弗里·萨克斯是联合国顾问、纽约哥伦比亚大学地球研究所主任，同时也是一位贫穷问题专家。他对上述问题的回答是：贫穷国家之所以贫穷，原因在于这些国家往往都气候炎热、土地贫瘠、疟疾肆虐、四周被陆地所包围。因此，如果没有大量的原始投资助其解决这些地方性问题，这些国家很难提高自己的生产力。然而，这些国家却因为贫穷，无法支付投资回报——这就是经济学家们所谓的“贫穷陷阱”。除非这些问题的解决能够落到实处，否则无论是自由市场，还是民主制，都帮不上什么大忙。外来援助之所以重要的原因就在于，它能启动一种良性循环，即辅助穷国在关键领域投资，从而提高其生产力；由

此而产生的更高收入会带来更多投资，收益将呈螺旋状上升。萨克斯在其2005年《贫穷的终结》（The End of Poverty）一书中称，如果富国在

2005~2025年间每年拿出1 950亿美元的资金来援助穷国，那么贫穷问题到2025年末便可完全得到解决。

然而，还有一些侃侃而谈的人认为，萨克斯的回答是错误的。曼哈顿的威廉·埃斯特利挑战了纽约大学的萨克斯，随着其著作《在增长的迷雾中求索》（The Elusive Quest for Growth）及《白人的负担》（The White Mans Burden）的面世，他已经成为反援助人士中最具影响力的公众人物之一。丹比萨·莫约是一位曾在高盛投资公司及世界银行任职的经济学家，她于近期出版了《援助的死亡》（Dead Aid）一书，并在书中对埃斯特利的观点表示赞同。他们都认为，援助的弊大于利：援助使人们停止寻找自己解决问题的方法，腐蚀地方机构并削弱其作用，导致一些援助机构形同虚设。对于贫穷国家来说，最好遵循一个简单的原则：只要有自由市场和恰当的奖励机制，人们就能自己找到解决问题的方法，避免接受外国人或自己政府的施舍。从这个意义上讲，在看待世界运转的方式上，对援助持悲观态度的人实际上表现得颇为乐观。埃斯特利认为，“贫穷陷阱”并不存在。

我们到底应该相信谁？是相信那些认为援助能解决问题的人，还是相信那些认为援助只能使问题恶化的人？这一问题无法从理论上得到解决，我们需要的是证据。然而，遗憾的是，那种常常用来解答大问题的数据并不能得到人们

的信任。引人注目的奇闻轶事比比皆是，有些事件甚至可以用来支持任何立场。例如，卢旺达在遭受种族灭绝之后的几年里得到了大笔捐款，整个国家逐渐走向繁荣。由于国民经济得到了发展，卢旺达总统保罗·卡加梅开始制定政策，尽量不再接受援助。那么，我们应将这个例子看作是援助好处的证明（萨克斯的观点），还是自力更生的典型代表（莫约的观点），还是二者兼备？

由于诸如卢旺达这样的个例没有最终定论，大多数研究哲学问题的人更喜欢在多个国家之间作比较。例如，针对世界上几百个国家的数据表明，接受更多援助的国家并不比其他国家发展得快。这常常被认为是援助无用的依据，但实际上，这也可能意味着相反的观点。或许，援助使某些国家避免了一场灾难，没有援助的话情况会更糟。对此，我们并不了解，只是在泛泛地猜测而已。

然而，假如没有支持或反对援助的依据，我们又该怎样做呢？——放弃穷人？这种失败主义的态度不是我们所应持有的。实际上，答案是可以找到的。这本书整体上就采用了一种答案延伸的形式——不过不是萨克斯和埃斯特利喜欢的那种泛泛的答案，它要告诉你的不是援助的好与坏，而是援助在一些特定的事例中是否带来了好处。我们虽然不能断定民主制的效力，却可以就是否应改变其组织方式谈谈感想，使其更有效地运行于印尼的农村等地。

无论如何，对于某些大问题（如外国援助是否有效）的回答是否像我们有时听到的那样重要，我们尚不明确。无论是伦敦、巴黎或华盛顿特区那些热心于帮助穷人的人，还是不那么热心于此的人，他们都认为援助的作用十分突出。

活着，为了学习。

Learning makes a good man better and ill man worse.

好人越学越好，坏人越学越坏。

“Mindless habitual behavior is the enemy of innovation. ” I assume that you are familiar with Rosabeth Moss Kanter’s famous remark. It is obvious that a man who always stick to habit and experience can hardly create new things .

Rosabeth Moss Kanter’s remark aims at informing us of the significance of innovation. Why does innovation play an indispensable role in our life ? innovation can promote the advancement of both individuals and society as a whole. only those who are innovative can make continuous progress and maintain a competitive edge. Quite a few examples can be given to prove the importance of A, and I can think of no better illustration than the following one: how could Steve Jobs, a genius who changed the way of modern communication, recreation and even our life, launch so many powerful electronic products constantly without creative spirit?

We should always bear in mind that the consciousness of innovation is of great significance to us all. Hence, we need to develop a habit of discovering new things，using new methods and applying new thoughts in our work, study or simply everyday life. “Innovation is the spirit of human being’s progress.” A philosopher once said.

我为蜀都狂

一方水土养一方人，一方人筑一方城，创新杯作文大赛。你是否和我一样狂热于那“当年走马锦城西，曾为梅花醉似泥”的锦官城?

——题记

“狂”字，犭部，所谓狂，即任情地做事，不用理智约束感情。用键盘在“为”和“狂”之间敲上“蜀都”二字时，稍稍有些许停滞——真的对蜀都有着如此的狂热执迷吗?却忽然、阳台上潜入的穿堂风偷来楼下几家茶铺热闹的吆喝，送来满室夹杂着夏日香气的断续的叫好声，嘴角的弧度便上扬开来——对锦城的感情，怎么值不起一个“狂”字?而蓉城那满室墨香的草堂，那紧扣着诸葛丞相的武侯祠又如何当不起堪堪狂字?“成都是府。成都是天府。天府的人好安逸。”易中天教授在《读城记》一书中，成都府一栏的开篇，便是这骈散有致的三句话。恰也是这短短三排字，便勾勒出了我心中最美的地方。 好，你又要问我了——成都哪里安逸?哪里让你如此狂爱不已?那我也不能随便用几个形容词敷衍你，我敷衍不起，更不愿敷衍。那就只好长话长说，一一为你道来。

我为蜀都狂，狂的不是它“国家园林城市”、“中国最佳旅游城市”那外在的区区名号。为我所狂的，是我生在成都，长在成都，感受到的深切的文化关怀。 而说到天府文化，不得不提起的，便是茶。不，说茶还不大准确，细化一些，说白了，应是茶馆，是茶铺。

—、狂热之——我把童年泡在了茶里。记忆里的六七岁，不爱“红妆”，却总喜欢随着爷爷去“泡”茶馆。所以为“泡”，是在于热腾腾的茶水永远满杯，袅袅的雾气旋转着升起在各式各样的茶铺里，伴着人们大清早便开始的议论抬杠，消散——聚拢——消散。那时整天坐在茶馆，也并不喜欢疯来疯去，而是喜欢静静坐在爷爷腿上，听他和其他一干爷爷叔叔辈儿的人大侃龙门阵。他们不讲东家长李家短，他们只会天南地北指点江山，逸闻趣事挨个儿点一通，最爱的是偶尔有个好话题的，大家便开始滔滔不绝，或英雄所见略同而会心一笑。 自己又特别迷恋司马相如写的赋，便又觉得个个侃爷都是作赋高手。而自然——龙门阵，便是我们成都人的“赋”。越这样觉得，爱去茶铺的次数便就越多，渐渐成痴，养成了每日必去的好习惯。 现在想来，当时是怎样一种享受啊!一群文化人，本地的、外地的，聚在老街深处，扎堆在茶铺子里，话题温馨，言语亲和，和每天高达12万人大的茶客一起，组成一支不折不扣的十万大军，分享心得，等到夕阳落山，再等到夕阳无山可落，终于才恋恋不舍地回家。我想除了成都府，无地敢出其二。诚然，那段泡在茶里的时光，便就是自己遥远的童年时代，少了橡皮筋少了毽子，却多了一份文化积淀，初中作文《创新杯作文大赛》。让我能早早体会到了成都这方水土上的语言，原来就恰似踢球好手，把话语颠来倒去，反复品味，形成一支味蕾上的舞蹈，耍出千万般花样。

二、古迹之所以为我心中古迹。后来稍稍大了些，就爱趁着假期去看那些名胜古迹。哪怕摸摸那里一块砖，一片瓦，也会高兴好半天。那时我还不知道，原来踏足过锦官这片土地的文人雅士大有人在，不止只是杜甫的“好雨知时节，当春乃发生”，还有李白、三苏、黄庭坚、李商隐……他们都让这片大地因历史的沉淀愈加厚重，又因岁月的磨洗愈见辉光。 丞相祠堂何处寻，锦官城外柏森森。踏进武侯祠，厚重的历史气息便能把自己像作茧一般，紧紧缚祝你不会感到窒息，只是会异常沉重，异常小心，生怕一个大声，而打破了沉寂以外的未知名的感觉。而我就偏爱沿着低矮的墙壁，以背贴墙，顺着墙根，双手触着青石砖头，一步一步地闭眼前移。指尖的微凉似乎可以真实地传递到心尖，把因泛起历史而躁动热血的心冷却稍许。是的，或许是因为生长于天府，或许不是，我最爱的诗人便是那大庇天下寒士俱欢颜的杜甫，当然，出身未捷身先死，长使英雄泪满襟。三国当中自也是偏爱诸葛三分。

三、串串香串起的人生百味。我爱成都的小吃，并不全为一时食欲，在于你能吃到的，是一种家的感觉。大街小巷，路边摊的叫卖声声声入耳，就像是家里人唤你无二。串串香麻辣的味道在味蕾上久久挥散不去，促使你张开全身的毛孔呼吸。偶尔芙蓉的香气传来，重重一吸，舒适许多，却还舍不得那股味道散去，便又开始新一轮奋战。最爱和玩伴一起到锦里去走街串巷，从街头吃到结尾。知道瞅见各家已灯火黄昏，才马不停蹄赶回家，享受家中家常美味。有人总质疑质疑质疑，说什么成都怎么就成了来了就不想走的城市?不是还有句俗语叫“要拴住男人的心，先拴住男人的胃吗?”你的品尝时能感到食物以外的温暖，怎么能不感到留恋，不感到不舍?不同国籍不同种族的人来到成都，看见他们吃到麻辣串时那一瞬的糗态，直教人捧腹，又直教人心疼。 大家如此不同，相隔千山万水，或许你家庭美满，或许你才从公司离职，你或许高居庙堂，你或许默默无闻。可是却在一根串串香上有了近乎神似的表情和动作。你不能不喟叹大千世界的神奇，不得不想起原来人生百味，也可以如此简单。

刘永在《一寸金·成都》中曾经这样赞过成都：——井络天开，剑岭云横控西夏。地胜异，锦里风流，蚕市繁华，簇簇歌台舞榭。雅俗多游赏，轻裘俊，靓妆艳冶。当春昼，摸石江边，浣花溪畔景如画。的的确确，成都美，成都好巴适，成都夏无酷暑，冬不严寒，成都人和善。可是倘使你不如我般生长在这片安宁祥和的土地上了16年，你变难以体味我心中那份痴狂。我一直耿耿于怀于“乐不思蜀”，实在理解不了怎会有人乐不思蜀?至少我仅仅呆在这里，都止不住反复咀嚼这里的每一种风味每一个表情。何况我们，大有可能在两年后各奔东西，到另外的城市开拓自己全新的人生，去为祖国“抛头颅洒热血”。那个时候，成都的夕阳，便再也不会每天照红自己的脸，记忆里的小桥流水人家又会不会变成高楼大厦?但我始终喻之于怀，我不会忘记这里的每一个符号。

除却茶铺美食，除却名胜古迹，这里还有太多的我的心之所向。这里的麻将的碰撞声，这里银杏树叶做成的书签，这里的太阳神鸟……孰敢或忘? 二十里中香不断，青羊宫到浣花溪。那是属于自己的土地，那是梦想开始的地方。不是单单一个“狂”字就能解释得清的。古人有句话说——情不知所起，一往而深。我想，大概就是如此了吧。

Autobiography

My name is ________. I am graduate from ________ senior high school and major in ________. There are ________ people in my family. My father works in a computer company. And my mother is a housewife. I am the youngest one in my family.

In my spare time, I like to read novels. I think reading could enlarge my knowledge. As for novels, I could imagine whatever I like such as a well-known scientist or a kung-fu master. In addition to reading, I also like to play PC games. A lot of grownups think playing PC games hinders the students from learning. But I think PC games could motivate me to learn something such as English or Japanese.

My favorite course is English because I think it is interesting to say one thing via different sounds. I wish my English could be improved in the next four years and be able to speak fluent English in the future.

I’m Alison from GAMI. It’s my honour to stand here to share my understanding of innovation. About innovation， what comes to your mind firstly ? As for me, most innovation shines our lives in the long process of humanhistory. Just imagine ten million years ago, what are our ancestors’ lifestyles? They must hunt animals or pick the roots and leaves for food laboriously with simple tools ; They have to roar with each other to communicate in a long distance; Their transportation basically rely on walking. In short, their lives are hard, simple, even a little boring. However, taking a look at our lives today! We can order KFC at home , our food is more easily and diversifiedly to be acquired; we can get in touch with our friends anywhere at anytime by telephone , E-mail andWeChat! Our vehicles include buses ,cars, planes and so on, it becames so easy to reach the destination. So how did these happen? Those changes are all owing to the countless innovation. It makes our lives become more convenient, comfortable and colorful. But in today’s modern life , don’t we need to innovate? No no, let’s have a look at the problems we are facing: air pollution, traffic jam, waste of resources. Those are related to our survival. Maybe we can make a huge machine to filter the polluted , or invent a car which not only can drive along the road, but also can fly in the sky; or one day we synthesis super energy materials, we would never relay on traditional resources any more. Are those ideas too exaggerated? Who knows? Just as hundreds years ago, nobody can imagine we can fly by plane. Time will tell you the truth .As Edward, a famous psychologists, said: Without innovation, there would be no progress, and we would be forever repeating the same patterns. Therefore, innovation is an eternal topic for people, countries and societies! That’s all, thank u !

我是艾丽森从加。站在这里分享我对创新的理解是我的荣幸。关于创新，首先你的想法是什么?对我来说，最创新的照耀我们生活在人类社会的漫长的过程。试想一千万年前，我们的祖先的生活方式是什么?他们必须猎杀动物或食物的辛苦与简单的工具选择的根和叶;他们要咆哮与对方在一个长距离通信;交通基本靠走。

总之，他们的生活很难，简单，甚至有点无聊。然而，我们今天的生活!我们可以为了肯德基在国内，我们的食物是更容易和多样是获得;我们可以随时通过电话与我们取得联系朋友的地方，电子邮件andwechat!我们的车辆包括客车、汽车、飞机等，很容易到达目的地。那么这些是怎么发生的呢?这些变化都是由于无数的创新。它使我们的生活变得更加方便，舒适和丰富多彩。但在今天的现代生活中，我们不需要创新吗?不不，让我们来看看我们所面临的问题：空气污染，交通堵塞，资源浪费。这些都与我们的生存有关。也许我们可以制造一台巨大的机器来过滤污染，或者发明一辆汽车，它不仅可以沿着道路行驶，而且还可以在空中飞行;或者有一天我们合成超级能量的材料，我们永远不会对传统资源进行更多的保护。这些想法太夸张了吗?谁知道呢?就在几百年前，没有人能想象我们可以坐飞机。时间会告诉你真相，作为著名心理学家爱德华说：没有创新，就没有进步，我们将永远重复同样的模式。因此，创新是一个永恒的话题，为人，国家和社会!这是所有的，谢谢你!
