Our college is an ordinary institution of higher learning.

on our campus,there are no skyscrapers,no graceful and imposing

buildings,and no strange houses.All the buildings are common,but they stand in

special relationship to each other,making a nice learning atmosphere for us.The

newest and perhaps largest building is the library.It stands in the middle of

our campus.It is seven storeys high.With its bright,spacious reading rooms and

all kinds of books,newspapers and magazines,it is the place where students like

to go.The next largest building is the Chemistry Department.The rooms in it are

filled with various apparatus.The buildings that the students and teachers live

in are the apartment houses.

Before long,new buildings will be added to our campus and some old ones

will be pulled down.I think that our campus will become more and more

beautiful.Then more and more young men will come and learn in it.

“白羽春色关不住，百花争艳出墙来。”白羽之春，景色不凡。现在，春姑娘正为大地妈妈装扮更衣：换上了绿色的裙子，白色和粉色的裙摆，以及紫色和黄色的点缀。今天，我就为大家介绍一下缤纷的白羽春景。

白羽春景之——梨花景

白如玉，白如晶，白如雪。在树枝上面盛开，梨花那小小的五瓣，以及娇嫩的花蕊，好像扎根一样，深深地扎在花枝上。远远望去，好似树枝上挂着一层春雪。梨花挂满枝头，是那样地生机勃勃!

白羽春景之——望春景

望春花又名辛夷花、玉兰花，花瓣有紫的、白的、黄的。黄色的最为珍贵、稀少。在它未开之前，像水滴一样;初开时，又像极了康乃馨。当你觉得疲惫之时，看一眼它就会心旷神怡。在树底下摇一摇，那些望春花就像企鹅一样摇摇摆摆，可爱极了!捡起一片，轻轻剥开，就像海绵一样柔软，舒服极了!

白羽春景之——桃花景

桃花之粉，之红润，都极其令人惊艳。而这其中五瓣的桃花尤为美丽，站在树枝上，为白羽送上一个个笑脸。有一棵桃树特别奇特，开出的花一半是粉色的，一半是白色的，美丽极了!

白羽春景之——柳树景

柳树发出嫩芽，长出不惹人注意的花穗，还掉下了许多的“毛毛虫”——柳穗。人人都说，柳树是春天最早的“使者”。有几只小鸟，在柳树上鸣叫，感觉柳树会唱歌了!

白羽春景之——人

人们在春天也变得精神焕发，心情舒畅。一年之计在于春，一日之计在于晨。真是应了景了!

白羽的春是美的，是奇的，是秀的，是俊的。我最爱白羽的春!

今天早上，我在望着天空时，孙悟空却站在我头上，他带我飞到了花果山。

孙悟空把我当成猪八戒了，说：“二弟!你刚才去哪儿了?我找了你好久，给玉帝下跪才拿到水晶球找到了你!″我连忙回答：“兄弟，你是不是找错人了?我不是猪八戒。”孙悟空又看了看我后才明白自己找错人了，就让我在这里住一天，因为筋斗云在一天之内是不能走返程路线的。

我和孙悟空一起去了东海龙王的龙宫，孙悟空变出个泡泡把我圈住，我就能在水里呼吸了，龙宫里的东海龙王一听有贵客要来，就摆出非常美味的佳肴，只给孙悟空吃却不给我。孙悟空生气了就给了他一棒，东海龙王这才明白我也是贵客，也给我放上了美味的佳肴。

上岸后，孙悟空给了我一个桃子当作饭后甜点。那新鲜的桃子，咬上一口，美味的果肉和果皮顿时甜到了心里。

孙悟空又让我去水帘洞，他和我一起踏着他的筋斗云飞到水帘洞里。水帘洞里的猴子都看着我，我也看着他们，他们问孙悟空：“这是二弟?”“你们叫他齐天小圣。″孙悟空说着。猴子们就说：“齐天小圣万岁，齐天小圣万岁!"

时间到了，孙悟空又把我送到了我的时代，我们说了再见后，约定三年后一定再见一面。

In China, the number of college students increases every year, as more and

more students get the college education, college students are under great

pressure. We hear from the news that a lot of students can’t find jobs after

graduation, then the next year, the other students gets graduating, the two

years’ students compete for the jobs! I just can’t imagine such situation. The

pressure from college students is getting greater, they should relieve it now

and then, because too much pressure will bring bad effect, some may distort

their minds, once their emotion can’t relieve in time, some tragical things may

happen. It is said that some students suicide themselves because they have much

pressure. Everybody will have pressure, but we must know that pressure brings

motivation, at the same time, it also brings burden, we have to balance it. When

we deal with it well, we can live a better life.

要到金岙公园就要跨过瓯江，走过桥下，才能到金岙公园。

金岙公园最有意思的就是各式各样的滑滑梯。当你走上滑梯时，就会发现有好多个入口，不同的入口滑下去都是不同的滑梯。有的是直线滑下去的;有的是像虫子一样扭来扭去，你滑下去也会扭来扭去;有的像弹簧一样，一圈一圈快速的转下去，特别刺激!还有的是双人的，我特别喜欢和晶晶姐姐一起牵着手滑下去，如果想和你的朋友一起来也可以这样玩。滑滑梯下面还有一个巨大的沙坑，沙坑里还插着一个紫色的秋千，你可以边荡秋千边眺望远方的高山，真是太美好了!

到了晚上，那里还有好多好吃的食物摊：有水果杯、有冰冰凉凉的雪碧加果冻……最最好吃的是一个超大的杯子，里面还分圈，中间的一圈放满冰冰凉凉的冰淇淋，在外面一圈可以加各种喝的。不仅如此，你还可以自己在喝的里面可以加各种水果，最外面一圈还能给你添加果冻。晚上拿着这一杯，坐在秋千上边荡边吃，享受着凉爽的风，真是完美至极!

除了荡秋千，晚上你还可以在地上搭帐篷，在帐篷里还可以仰望星空，这让我想到了《繁星》这篇课文，作者肯定也很享受这样的时刻吧。

我真的非常建议你们去玩，因为真的很好玩!

December 25, Christmas day, is a foreigners New Year.

But I also had a happy Christmas, and my mother bought me a toy that I had been thinking about for a long time, a remote control plane. I was stunned when I received the gift. Because my mother had never promised to buy me before, it may be that I have done my homework these days to be more conscious, and I am very happy.

12月25日，是圣诞节，是外国人的新年。

但是我也过了快乐的圣诞节，妈妈给我买了我想了很久的玩具，一架遥控飞机。我收到礼物的时候，我都愣住了。因为妈妈以前从来都没有答应过给我买，可能是我这几天做作业比较自觉，才奖励我的，我开心极了。

总有一个人，默默将我们支撑;总有一种爱，让我们情不能自己。这个人就是母亲，这种爱就是母爱。漫漫人生旅程。正是无私奉献的母爱，教会我们用心去关爱他人，关爱世界，也正是母爱这种惊天动地的力量，激励我们用爱心拥抱真善美的生活，一步步走向成熟和成功……记得一位哲人说过：“世界的伟大正是因为人类有了坚强而慈爱的母亲。”对任何国家和民族而言，“母亲”这个词永远与她对儿女的无私奉献紧紧相连，母爱也因此变得伟大。

我深深地记着这样一句话：“妈妈总是对的，她深深地懂得生活的道理和人生的真谛。”其实一点儿也没说错。比如说：妈妈对我的鞭策无处不在，不过需要用心体会。我在班上的成绩一直名列前茅，而妈妈却总说我不怎么样。但我并没有气馁，反而从中体会到了：妈妈让我走的路就是不断努力向上，千万不要因为小小的成就而自满，停下来沾沾自喜的人很快便会跌下来。一个人即使已攀上顶峰，也仍要自强不息，正所谓“攀得越高，跌得越重。”可是只要你埋头苦干，努力不懈，终有一天会成功的。

当我拖拉时。妈妈便会批评我：“你的表现让我觉得你的每一天都在白过!”听了妈妈的话，我一样没有生气，也从中体会到了一些东西：活着就要做个珍惜时间的人。

所以我一直认为，母爱就是一种鞭策，驱使我在人生路上不断攀登。

但我们也要学会感恩，对于每一位妈妈来说，我们就是她的天使。妈妈所做的一切无不是为了我们，世界上最具有魔力的就是妈妈们的爱，这种爱能超越时空，凝聚力量，战胜困境和灾难。如若我们能懂得这份感情，妈妈也就心满意足了。世界上的一切光荣和骄傲都来自妈妈。一个人的一生中，会有很多关于爱的感受，感悟，这里面有亲情，友情，但在所有的"爱"中，最震撼人心的还是母爱。母爱之恩，与江河同流，与日月同辉。愿天下孩子别忘了回报母爱一缕浓浓的芳馨。

Christmas Day is very popular around the world, which originates in western

country, but now it is celebrated by the world. When this big day comes, there

will be a lot of products that sold in very low prices, and the Santa Clauss

image will be seen all the street. Shops will play Christmas songs. I always

spend this festival with my friends, because my parents dont take this day

seriously. We hang out the street and join the big crowd in the square, singing

with people and then wait for the time to count down. It is such a great moment

for me. I can feel the lively atmosphere, like the New Year. On the way home, we

share our wishes and talk about the happy incidents. Christmas activity brings

me unforgettable memories.

To mark the Nationa I Day, celebrations will be held in the nearby Peoples Park on the morning of Oct. 1st. On the evening of the same day, there will be a colourful display of fireworks to be viewed in the Tianfu Square.

All are warmly invited to both the events and are advised to come to the office to get tickets.

Important：Fete goers are requested to gather in front of the No.3 Teaching Building at 7:50 a. m. to be taken to the celebrations and at 7:00 p.m.to the fireworks show.

一叶飘零而知秋，一叶萌发而见春。我捡起偶尔掉落的绿叶，踏入了春的殿堂。

踏着鹅卵石铺成的小径来到花园，就与散发着青草芳香的微风撞个满怀，没有浓厚的香味，却充满了自然的气息。心里的感受好清爽!

偶尔想外出散步，就在清晨一个人走出家门，寻找久违的春色。

一个3岁左右的孩子，把灰色的小石子投入湖水中。我欣慰地笑了，那么像当初的自己!清澈的湖水，你静静地流淌着，蜿蜒曲折地围绕在花园周围。你已褪去了冬日薄薄的冰霜，熟悉的绿色又给人以春的生机。你那纯净的心灵，让我悟出了凝视的美丽。

走近这片草地，清晨的露水悄然滴落，静谧之中我感受到了活泼与天真。又是一阵微风吹过，小草都朝着一个方向倒去，惹人怜惜。我不喜欢栀子花浓郁的香气、丁香淡淡的味道，却独爱小草自然的芳香。扎根于泥土的平凡，春风吹又生的坚强，为花儿伴舞的无私，将我深深吸引。

向远望去，显眼的那一片色彩便是小区的花圃。花儿是最能体现春的韵味，我不禁加快了脚步。各种各样的鲜花，凌乱之中却有着春天的美。扑鼻而来的芳香，虽没有青草的淡雅，然而别有一番韵味。

依旧是抬头看天，阳光不怎么刺眼，白云与天空构成了奇妙的空间，依旧是仔细聆听，鸟儿愉快地啁啾，清脆之中合成了动听的旋律。依旧是悉心感受，春天独有的风姿霎时间演绎成令人心动的情景。

春，就这样环绕在我身边。第一次与自然那么亲近，无论是朴实还是妖艳、清新还是浓郁，这一切都在脑海里定格成永恒的画面。春天的确已经来临，微风拂面，是一年中最美的光景。

农历五月初五为端午节，又称端阳节、午日节、五月节、艾节、端五、重午、午日、夏节。虽然名称不同，但各地人民过节的习俗是相同的。端午节是我国二千多年的旧习俗，每到这一天，家家户户挂艾叶菖蒲，赛龙舟，吃粽子，饮雄黄酒，游百病，佩香囊。

今天是端午节，大家知道端午节的来历吗?!不知道吧!那就让我来告诉你们吧!你们还记得楚国那位爱国大将屈原吗?我来说一说他吧!

屈原是战国时期出国人，很有学问。他在楚王身边做官，以形象是自己的国家富强起来。昏君楚王却听信奸臣的话，把屈原削职流放。在流放中，屈原听说楚国的都城被敌人占领，百姓遭难，悲愤极了。五月初五这一天，他来到汨罗江边，怀抱一块石头，以纵身跳入汨罗江中。出国的百姓听到屈原投江的消息，都十分悲痛。他们含着泪划着船赶来打捞屈原，还把粽子扔到江里喂鱼，希望鱼儿不要伤害屈原的身体。这就是五月端阳包粽子的来历。

端午节还有许多有趣的活动。列如赛龙舟，挂香囊，香囊内有朱砂、雄黄、香药，外包以丝布，清香四溢，再以五色丝线弦扣成索，作各种不同形状，结成一串，形形色色，玲珑夺目。还有挂艾叶、菖蒲的习惯。

端午节的活动可真多啊!

我的家是一个小小“动物园”，为什么这么说呢?因为那里有叽叽喳喳的“小鸟”，温柔的“小羊”和聪明的“兔子”。

我爸爸像一只聪明的兔子。当我遇到难题时，我就会想起他，他看一遍题目，思考一会儿，就能给出答案。有一天，我和表哥一起去打乒乓球，表哥一不小心，把球压瘪了，我们都很沮丧。我们便去找爸爸，看能否修复，只见爸爸一把接过，说“没问题!”说完，爸爸将一个水杯盛满开水，拿筷子把球按在水中，过了一会儿乒乓球神奇般地鼓了起来，变得完好无损，我和表哥都看呆了，大声喊起来：“太好了，太神奇了!”就这样，作为医生的爸爸“治”好了乒乓球的“毛病”。

你们猜得出小羊是谁吗?没错，就是我妈妈。妈妈是一只温柔的小羊，她很喜欢吃素菜。有一次，我在刷牙的时候，不小心将玻璃杯摔在地上，玻璃碎片、水散得满地都是。妈妈听到响声便急忙过来，我本以为她会骂我，没想到妈妈却轻轻地说：“没事吧?下次要注意哦。”说完，她就耐心地打扫起来。

而我是一只叽叽喳喳的“小鸟”。我整天问东问西，爸爸妈妈都叫我“十万个为什么”。

你看，叽叽喳喳的小鸟、温柔的小羊再加上聪明的兔子，这就是我们的动物之家，是不是很有趣?

Yesterday is my six-year-old birthday. It is important to me as I can go to

primary school after my birthday. It means that I grow up. I got up very early

at that day. My mother just smiled at me and said nothing. I felt a little down.

But I recovered with excited soon and then I went out to play. Everything in my

eyes is so beautiful. When I got home about five o’clock, my mother gave me a

surprise. She prepared a party for me and invited all my friends. She also gave

a lovely schoolbag to me as my birthday present. I’m so happy that day.

Dear Mr. Wang,

I am pleased to invite you to a luncheon, to be held by the Monterey Institute of International Studies on October 12, 2006 at noon, commemorating the 75th anniversary of the death of General Stilwell and in honor of his daughter, Mrs. Nancy Stilwell Easterbrook. Mrs. Easterbrook was a member of the Board of Trustees of the Monterey Institute and founder of the Stilwell Scholarship, which is dedicated to supporting students from China.

For many years until she passed away, Nancy had served as a goodwill ambassador of the American people who made unremitting efforts to promote exchanges between the United States and China. The Stilwell Scholarship she founded helps support deserving students from China who have come to the Monterey Institute to pursue professional degrees in translation and interpretation, international policy studies, language teaching and business management.

I hope you will be able to join us. Mr. Chuanyun Boo, Dean of the Graduate School of Translation and Interpretation, will be calling you soon to discuss this event further.

Yours sincerely,

Tom Burton

追求快乐，在每一个日出东山时，迎着你的笑脸!追求快乐，让生活的快乐占满人们的心间! Pursuing happiness, when every sunrise is in Dongshan, facing your smiley face! Pursue happiness and make the joy of life full of peoples hearts!

总有些人说快乐离自己很远，而我却说快乐无处不在。快乐是由自己创造的，自己就是快乐的源泉!人生是这么的短暂，我相信每个人都希望快乐度过此生。可是生活中又不免有许多磕磕碰碰，让我们不快乐。那么要想拥有快乐就需要追求快乐!

要想拥有快乐，我们就要与坦率为友;要想拥有快乐，我们就要与真诚为伴;要想拥有快乐。我们就要用自己的双手去创造财富。要不然快乐就犹如一现的昙花，而不是永久;要不然快乐就会我们越来越远;要不然我们就会苟且偷生!还谈何快乐?

一位年轻人生性好偷，经过多次做案他已成为百万富翁。可是他并不快乐，他每天过着地狱般的生活。他整天提心吊胆，看谁都像人民警察。痛苦、悔恨占满了他的心间。他没有快乐陪伴，有的只是苦不堪言。他几次想去自首可又害怕法律的惩罚，还谈何快乐?年轻人后悔的说出——快乐，何时归?

这样的事情在生活中很多很多。当他们拥有快乐时不知珍惜，失去时才知道快乐的可贵!

在这短暂的一生我们都想拥有快乐，可是如果不时时检点自己，快乐就会与我们擦肩而过!所以我们要时时检阅自己，警告自己——不要闷着良心做事，不要贪婪别人的财富。要与人为善，要真诚坦率，这样我们就会时时拥有快乐，快乐就会围绕在我们身边!

朋友啊!我相信你一定不想整天愁眉苦脸，你也想快乐的生活着。那么就让我们一起追求快乐吧，就让快乐伴随我们一生吧!

八岁那年的暑假，我和爸爸去姥姥家的西瓜地里摘西瓜。爸爸选了一个很大的西瓜，抱到小山坡跟前，准备回家。突然，电话铃声响起来，我们的邻居大声说：“你们家的水管裂了，赶快回来!”爸爸一听，急了!他慌忙对我说：“你把西瓜弄回姥姥家，我先回家去修水管。”我瞪着眼睛，还没弄明白怎么回事，爸爸已经一路小跑地回家去了。

西瓜地离姥姥家不远，可是，这么大个的西瓜，我可抱不动。坐在小山坡边，我托着腮帮子想办法：记得有一次，我和舅舅去田里摘南瓜，我们选了一个最大个的，比篮球还大。我惊奇地问舅舅：“这么大个的南瓜，怎么抱回家呢?”舅舅说：“我自有办法。”只见他把南瓜侧立起来，扶着边缘，让它滚动着回家。我边走边问：“舅舅，南瓜这样滚回家不会破吗?”舅舅说：“没事，南瓜皮厚着呢。”就那样，我们把南瓜滚回了家。

想到这里，我灵机一动：西瓜的皮也厚着呢，而且比南瓜更圆，更容易滚回家。对!就这么办，把西瓜滚回家!

我让西瓜在地上滚啊滚，我的双手控制着不让它滚偏，没多久，我就把西瓜滚回了姥姥家。

傍晚的时候，爸爸妈妈来吃饭，饭后大家边聊天边说：“吃个西瓜消消暑吧。”妈妈把我滚回家的那个大西瓜抱到案板上，一切，天哪!鲜红的西瓜肉全成了西瓜汁。妈妈奇怪地问我：“你是怎么把西瓜弄回家的?”爸爸也蹲下来，温和地问我：“你怎么抱的?”

我把事情的经过说给他们听，他们听完后，个个笑得前俯后仰，我那时候不知道他们笑什么，也跟着他们笑起来。那天傍晚，我们每人喝了一碗西瓜汁。

太阳早早躲到云层里去了!天空一片灰蒙蒙，像雾、像霜、像雪。又好像什么都不是。又好像都是……

乌兰一步一步的向前滑行。这雪都成了冰面。稍不留意就会滑倒。乌兰这个冬天摔了几次了，还好没大碍。

每天这么艰难的在路上行走，只是为了生活，为了孩子。

乌兰两口子都下岗了，为了维持生计，在一家社区打扫卫生，早出晚归，也挣不上多少钱。因年纪大了，没有技术没有文化，只能干些简单的体力活，工资却少的可怜。

今天乌兰早些下班，因为在市里读护校的女儿放假回家，她想早些给女儿做饭。做女儿爱吃的牛肉萝卜馅蒸饺。乌兰做蒸饺还是不错的。馅大皮薄。女儿每次吃都说‘妈妈的蒸饺堪称一绝’。乌兰只是在一旁笑。

乌兰对女儿真是疼爱有加，乌兰逢人就说‘穷养儿富养女’。叫女儿衣食无忧。宁苦自己不苦女儿。

女儿也优秀，为了早日减轻父母的负担，挑选了离家近收费低的护校读书。可以早毕业，早工作。

走着走着，到了一家超市门口，进去买了几样女儿爱吃的水果。冬天草原水果贵，乌兰平时自己舍不得买。为了女儿她什么都舍得。

拎着几个袋子，终于走到了自己的家，一个50平米的廉租楼。楼虽然小但很暖和，乌兰很知足。

乌兰干活利索麻利，剁菜，和面，肉馅是现成的早上就缓好了。一会馅调好了，看看闻闻，挺香。乌兰自言自语应该不错好吃。

洗好了几样水果，切了几块奶酪、奶干。看看表，块四点了。女儿坐的客车四点半到。乌兰穿好羽绒服准备去接女儿。想到女儿马上回来了，乌兰笑出了声……

“母爱是无私的，伟大的，纯洁的。”这时我对母爱的理解。

我的妈妈是一名牛奶员，因为晚上送奶，所以得了关节炎。但为了供我与姐姐上学，妈妈没有去看医生，买了一些药。从那时起，我就觉得我是妈妈的负担。因为妈妈在上海打工，所以几年都不会回来。中秋节象征一家团圆，可是每年都是我与姐姐一起过。我知道妈妈为了让我们过好一些，没空回来。但是，我还是希望妈妈能回来。

妈妈非常疼我。记得二年前，因为我生病了，妈妈知道后，连夜赶了回来。妈妈看到我的情况，着急地流下了眼泪。我喃喃地说：“妈妈，你可回来了，我连做梦都想你。”妈妈一边擦泪一边关心地说：“静静，妈妈回来了，你快好起来吧!妈妈去给你买你喜欢吃的东西。”在妈妈悉心呵护下，几天后，我的病有好转了。我知道我病好了，妈妈又会去上海了，我情不自禁地流下了眼泪。可妈妈却没走，每天陪我在医院，每天睡觉前都给我讲我爱听的故事。醒来了，却看见妈妈握着我的手睡着了。我连忙给妈妈披上衣服，看着妈妈布满皱纹的脸与粗糙的手，我不禁潸然泪

十岁时，妈妈带我上街，我高兴极了，蹦蹦跳跳的。突然，有一辆大卡车冲了过来。妈妈就像火箭一样飞过来，把我推开了。看到妈妈倒在地上，我不禁哭了起来。大卡车的主人把妈妈送到医院。医生说：“受的伤不重，幸好司机紧急刹车停了下来，不然……”

我来到妈妈身边，满怀感激深情地说：“妈妈，我爱你!”妈妈开心地笑了，笑得是那样甜美，幸福。妈妈，你对我的爱我今生也报答不完，只求下辈子你依然是我的好妈妈。

I want to be a model student. What shall I do?

I should be polite. I should study hard. I should capful and helpful. I should walk in the corridors. I should throw rubbish in the bin. I should be quiet in the library. I shouldn’t walk and run on the grass. I shouldn’t throw rubbish on the floor. I shouldn’t run in the corridors. I shouldn’t fight. I shouldn’t be noisy in the library.

It was October 12th yesterday. My friends held a birthday party for me. In

the morning, they came to my home early, and they brought many presents for me.

I liked them very much. I invited them to the KTV, we sang songs, danced and

played games. About 5:30 p.m., we went my home. My mother had cooked a delicious

dinner for us. After dinner, we watched TV and at about 8:30 p.m. we ate

birthday cake. There were fifteen candles on my birthday cake. I made a silent

wish, and then I blew the candles out in one breath. I had an interesting

birthday party. We had a good time in the party. I was so grateful to what they

did for me.

Dear Sir,

I am writing to apply for a British Council scholarship to study in Britain. I did my five years basic training in medicine at Shanghai University. After this I successfully completed a one-year postgraduate course in Ophthalmology at the Peoples General Hospital, where I am at present serving a two-year probation in the Eye Clinic.

As a result of the publication in 2003 of my article in New Scientist entitled "Soft and Rigid Contact Lenses ", which was based on a survey of 37 patients over 6 months, I made contact with Dr. Li Ming of the Capital Hospital and Dr. Ma Li of the University College Hospital. I have received their help and advice with my current research project, which is a two-year survey of the acceptance of various types of contact lenses in 200 patients.

Despite their help, I feel that I cannot make real progress in this field unless I can actually have day-to-day contact with these specialists. I would therefore like to continue my research at either the Capital Hospital or the UCH as soon as my probationary period here is completed, and I would like to study in Britain for two years.

I enclose a detailed curriculum vitae and an offprint of my article, together with two letters of recommendation from Dr. Li Ming and Dr. Ma Li.

Yours faithfully,

Lily Chen
