“百里不同风，千里不同俗。”说到我们河南的春节春俗，那可真多呀！让我给你细细道来。

我们这里的春节，大多都在腊月二十三就开始了。这一天，晚上要吃饺子。大人们都忙着发面，割肉，到了晚上好大吃一顿。由于腊月二十三是过小年，所以这一天也会有些过年的气氛。

“二十八，贴花花。”在腊月二十八这一天，家家都要贴春联，而且，还要蒸百十个镆。好吃个一半个月。

除夕真热闹。家家户户都早早吃了饭，并且还要吃饺子，吃完饭还要放鞭炮。外出打工的或家居城市的，都要回老家聚一聚。这一天，一般人都会熬夜，或坐在电视机前看春节晚会，或打牌通宵。

正月初一，家里的老人留在家里接客，年轻人领着小孩子去亲戚家串门，给小孩子们发压岁钱。这一天还要吃饺子，不过初五还不许吃面条哩！从初二开始走亲戚。

正月十五，春节的又一个高潮到了，街市上都摆着许多汤圆。而且到处都是卖灯笼的，有喜羊羊的、奥特曼的、福娃的……应有尽有。这一天，小孩子们都会买许多烟花爆竹。天一擦黑，天空中就五颜六色，美丽极了。

一眨眼，到了残灯末庙，春节在正月十五结束。学生该去上学，大人又照常做事。一切又恢复到了平常。

Recently, more and more colleges and universities have realized the importance of creating green campus, it has become a new trend throughout the country.

So, what do you mean when we refer to green campus? On the one hand, the protection of environment is necessary, there is no denying the fact that this is the premise of the concept. On the other hand, it is not enough to meet the overall goals of green campus simply maintain green environment. On the contrary, it also requires all the staff and our common efforts, the students positive culture construction.

Therefore, in order to create green campus, first, it is necessary, everyone thinks of our own host campus, and to realize green enlightenment brings us a house. More importantly, the need for action to achieve goals. Last but not least, we can spread the spirit of a wide area, calling for more people to join the prospect of this project.

那么，是什么意思时，我们指的绿色校园?一方面，对环境的保护是必要的，不可否认，这是这一概念的前提。另一方面，它是远远不够的，以满足绿色校园的总体目标简单地保持绿色的环境。相反，它也需要所有的工作人员和我们共同的努力，学生的积极的文化氛围建设。

因此，为了创造绿色校园，第一，它是必要的，每个人都认为我们自己主办的校园，并认识到绿色的启示给我们带来了房子。更重要的是，需要采取行动以实现目标。最后但并非最不重要的，我们可以传播的精神，更广阔的领域，呼吁更多的人加入这个项目的前景。

Timeflies like an arrow before we realize it .It is known that nothing is

more precious than time. The good old proverb "time is money" reminds us that

time is valuable. When time goes by, it will never return. However, it is a pity

that some people dont make full use of their time .They spend a lot of time in

sleeping, chatting, playing computer games or other unmeaning matters. . They

dont realize that wasting time is actually equal to killing themselves. They

always regret not having made great achievements. One of the reasons may be they

do not make good use of time. Therefore, in order to be successful, they should

first get into the habit of being on time. It’s a sign of cherishing time. Dont

put off what can be done today until tomorrow. Being lazy will eventually lead

to failure. Dont wait, because you dont know how long it will take when you

put off your plan.

The more we are aware of the significance of this famous saying, the more

benefits we will get in study or job.

The Spring Festival is a traditional festival in our country. Every Spring Festival, people always want to paste Fu characters, couplets, firecrackers. You see, every family has a decorated, the scene bursting with happiness.

Our family is no exception. I picked up a pair of spring couplets, stuck the glue on the door and put it neatly. Dad will "blessing" upside down on the door. Her sister was also busy in the room. She picked up a few red lanterns and hung them in the room, and put a bunch of small colored lights on the wall. The small color lights flicker like a small star in the blink of an eye.

"The year" the sound of firecrackers, the new year has passed. I love fireworks and love the Spring Festival more.

Will Christmas Replace the Spring Festival？

Christmas arouses increasing attention year by year in China。 Christmas cards bee popular with students。 People hold Christmas parties and exchange Christmas girts。 A lot or TV and radio programs about Christmas are on。 Meanwhile the Spring Festival is less appealing （有吸引力的）to youngsters。 Thus some people wonder whether Christmas will replace the Spring Festival。

This worry is fairly unnecessary。 Why ？ One reason lies that Christmas only affects Christians，college students and joint-venture （合资企业）workers。 Another reason is that Christmas is mostly celebrated in cities。 Few people in countryside show extreme interest in this exotic（带有异国情调的） festival。 By contrast，the Spring Festival is the most influential traditional festival in every family。

I think，it is natural that with increasing exchanges with the West，a lot of Western holidays have been gradually introduced into China。 For us Chinese we should never neglect or even discard our own traditional festivals。 For centuries Chinese have observed this traditional holiday to wele the beginning of a new year。 And we will treasure the Spring Festival forever。

据网上报道显示，人大代表提出高考取消英文科目，赞同人数高达百分之八十二，这一话题也成为当今许多同学的热议，很多人认为：中国人学好国语就行，为何要学习外国的语言。

我认为英语成为我们学生的学习主科有其道理性和针对性的针对学生的发展未来。从对国家发展来看英语占全世界的国家讲的人数虽不是最多的，但却是分布的最广乏于国家的，包括很多的发达国家，中国学习这门语言对走出世界，同其他国家交流沟通发挥了很大的作用，如果取消这门沟通语言之门便少了日后中国发挥国际地位中的作用，众所周知，中国早已加入世界贸易组织，若贸然作出取消英语科目的决定，其进一步从长远地发展眼光看便可想而知。

作为学生，许多人的其他科目优势都能被英语这门科目好多了，但无论如何学好英语对学生的将来只有利大于弊，如果其他都学好只有英语差，对将来是不利的，要想睁大眼睛看世界，就得努力使自己插上翅膀飞出中国面对多样化，缤纷多彩的世界，到一个发达的地区闯出一片天，再把自己的国家发展好。

义务教育阶段时期在小学时便把语文，数学英语，这三门科目定为了主要学习科目，其实英语只要从小学基础打起，便觉得好学，多听，多说，脑海里会自然形成像语文那样会听，会说的一种能力。

Spring Festival couplets, originated in taofu. Taofu, Zhou Dai hung on the door on both sides of the rectangular wood board.

我的朋友甚多，但是能把心里话告诉彼此的却没几个。不过庆幸的是却有个知心的好朋友。

她深深的酒窝，让人第一眼看到她就觉得她很阳光，白里透红的脸蛋上镶嵌着一对水灵灵的眼睛。她刚转来的时候还有些胆怯的，当我坐到她身边，我问她名字的时候，她用微笑来告诉我，从我们就不再陌生了。

她还是个能干的女孩，我第一次和她扫厕所的时候，水满的时候，她第一时间把水拎起来，用力一冲把脏东西一而冲光。当第二桶满的时候，我刚要去提，她又抢去了。我叫她歇一会儿，但她总是微微一笑，笑的是那么美，那样阳光。打扫办公室时，她叠书的动作可真麻利，打扫完毕之后。我俩就一蹦一跳地在撒满阳光的小路上跑着回家。

她还是个乐于助人的人，每次只要是谁没带作文纸她就会把自己的作文纸给别人一张，只要是她有带水凡是谁口渴了没带水(当然是女生)她都会请别人喝个够。

她就是我的好朋友徐丽梅!

一年一度的新春佳节又要来到了，想必每个小孩都很急切地盼望着过春节，都有一些让自己喜欢的事情吧!例如：收到长辈给的压岁钱，四处逛街买新衣服，去亲戚家串门拜年，去旅游等等，而我最喜欢的事情就是放鞭炮和烟花了。

每到过年，我都会缠着爸爸带我去放鞭炮，现在城里都不能放鞭炮了，所以爸爸只好带着我到郊外去放鞭炮。

每次我们都会买很多不同种类的鞭炮和烟花。

我们把鞭炮插在土里，用香点燃引线，我双手紧紧地捂住耳朵，躲在大人身后，探出半个脑袋，看着嗞嗞燃烧的引线，心里想：我到底是把手放开，跳到前面做出一副勇敢的样子，还是就像现在这样害怕的样子呢?我还在犹豫中，鞭炮已经“嘭”的一声爆炸了，顿时纸屑四散，尘土飞扬，空气中弥漫着一股硝烟的味道......我也高兴得大叫起来!

当然，最壮观的还是晚上放的烟花。有的烟花放上天像一朵盛开的菊花，有的烟花放上天先是一个小圆圈，接着像水波一样一圈一圈地放大，而且每一个圆圈的颜色都不一样呢!有的烟花放上天就像喷泉一样“哗”地散落下来.....各种五颜六色的烟花交织在一起，此起彼伏，五光十色，把夜空妆扮得如同灯火辉煌的宫殿一样，十分美丽......

看着满天的烟花，听着四处噼里啪啦的鞭炮声，热热闹闹的新年又来到了!

在噼里啪啦的爆竹声中，在五彩缤纷的烟花中， （我们）迎来了中国人民最盛大（的）节日春节。春节是一个幸福、快乐、吉祥的日子，家家喜气洋洋，朝气蓬勃，喜悦写在每一个人的脸上。

正月初一到了，爆竹声把我从睡梦中唤醒，我揉了揉惺忪的睡眼，穿上衣服走向阳台在阳台，我呼吸着新鲜的空气，看着外面热闹的景象心想：新的一年到了，我又长大了一岁！这时妈妈叫我去吃饭，还得去奶奶家呢。听了这话，我来了精神，匆匆扒了两口饭，就去奶奶家了。

到了奶奶家，我急忙跑向屋里给奶奶拜年。一进屋，我大吃一惊，原来大哥、二哥、小月、小泽、伯伯、大娘都在呢！我们拿了许多爆竹和烟花去外面放，我拿了一个爆竹，竟扔到我那如花似玉、可爱、娇小的小月妹妹脚下，爆竹一炸，她像受惊吓的小鹿一样东逃西窜，并哇哇大叫一副要哭的样子，责备的目光不约而同的投过来……后来我放烟花，我把一个圆柱体的烟花点燃，里面喷出一团蓝色的火焰，美丽极了。后来又喷出一团红色的火焰，比刚才的更漂亮。然后我又放了个蝴蝶形状的烟花，烟花向上飞，那姿态，那外观，简直就是一个活脱脱的潇洒的蝴蝶。

下午，我们玩扑克牌，玩“摸小猪”小月和小泽老是输，生了一窝的猪，到最后他们急了赖帐。说我们偷看他们的牌，为了讨好他们俩我们只有自认倒霉啦！看他们俩赖帐成功得意的表情，我们是又可气又可笑。

晚上，我们一大家子坐在电视机前面看电视，幸福美满，其乐融融……
