As a consequence， it is imperative for us to take drastic actions. On the one hand， the factories should be equipped with devices which can dispose of waste gas and water so as to prevent them from polluting our planet. On the other hand， there should be an increasingly loud voice from the public for firm actions against poisonous gas sent off and unhealthy water polluted by factories.

Pears gradually mature, the wind blowing, pear shaking, like a small doll in swing; oranges are gradually mature, and some three or four crowded together, as if whispering, and some five or six one Heap, seems to be in the meeting, and some stand alone in the branches like looking for partners.

Eyes can not help but narrow into a crack.

See how beautiful autumn! Autumn not only brings us joy, but also a bumper season.

但大熊猫的数量越来越少。许多猎人杀死它们的皮毛和农民改变他们的自然保护区，使更多的农田。我认为大熊猫需要我们的帮助。我们应该采取行动来保护动物。猎人和鼓励农民离开储备是最重要的。虽然我还是个学生，我可以写信给报纸和杂志上关于保护动物。我希望动物能过上幸福的生活。

今天下午，我在草地上观察小蚂蚁。

我发现一块大石头，搬起石头一看，下面有一个小洞。我想：“洞里一定有蚂蚁。”于是我用小树枝摇了摇。等了一会儿，终于有一只小蚂蚁出来了，接着又出来了一群小蚂蚁，让我眼花缭乱。在这密密麻麻的蚂蚁堆里，我发现有两只蚂蚁打了起来。我想：是一类小动物，怎么能互相打架呢?我就用小树枝把它们分开了。

这时，我发现一只更小的蚂蚁好像在找东西。我看见一只小虫子，就用小树枝把虫子挑起来，放在小蚂蚁的面前。可它怎么也不吃，连看都不看就跑回洞里了。我想：小蚂蚁为什么不吃呢?过了一会，一大群蚂蚁从洞里冲了出来。这时我终于明白了，原来那只小蚂蚁是去报信了。它们开始齐心合力搬运那只小虫子。把小虫子抬到洞口，发现进不了洞，只见众蚁用各自的工具，从虫子的头部开始一点一点地往洞里搬运。小蚂蚁们看起来个个都是不辞辛劳，努力工作。过了很长时间，见时间已晚，虽然搬运工作还在继续，我却只好回家。我的眼前老是闪现着蚂蚁搬运食物的情景。我想：它们能将小虫搬运完吗?

第二天中午一放学，我又去看，发现洞口前只剩下小虫子的皮了，还有三三两两的几只蚂蚁在那。真是“工夫不负有心人”啊，蚂蚁的团结协作和坚持不懈地精神，将让我受益无穷。

animals are natural resources that people have wasted all through our history. animals have been killed for their fur and feathers, for food, for sport, and simply because they were in the way. thousands of kinds of animals have disappeared from the earth forever. hundreds more are on the danger list today. about 170 kinds in the united states alone are considered in danger.

why should people care? because we need animals, and because once they are gone, there will never be any more.animals are more than just beautiful or interesting. they are more than just a source of food. every animal has its place in the balance of nature. destroying one kind of animal can create many problems. for example, when farmers killed large numbers of hawks, the farmers` stores of corn and grain were destroyed by rats and mice. why? because hawks eat rats and mice, with no hawks to keep down their numbers, the rats and mice multiplied quickly.

luckily, some people are working to help save the animals. some groups raise money to let people know about the problem. and they try to get the governments to pass laws protecting animals in danger. quite a few countries have passed laws. these laws forbid the killing of any animal or planton the danger list. slowly, the number of some animals in danger is growing.

The Mid-Autumn Festival

The Mid-Autumn is a very important Chinese festival. It falls on the 15th day of August. A few days before the festival, everyone in the family will help to make the house clean and beautiful. Lanterns will be hung in front of the house.

On the evening there will be a big family dinner. People who work far away from their homes will try to come back for the union. After dinner, people will light the lanterns which are usually red and round. Children will play with their own toy lanterns happily.

At night the moon is usually round and bright. People can enjoy the moon while eating moon-cakes which are the special food for this festival. They can look back on the past and look forward to the future together. It is said that there was a dragon in the sky. The dragon wanted to swallow up the moon. To protect the frighten the dragon away.

你看它多可爱，白色的柔软的毛发，红红的小而圆的眼睛，小鼻子一动一动的找吃的，嘴是三瓣型的，耳朵长长的里面还透着白色，虽然四条腿有点短，可是跑起来可以跟小猫媲美，对了她身上当然还少不了那一条短短的尾巴，说起小兔子还有一个好笑的小故事呢!相传兔子和黄牛是邻居，他俩相处得好，互称兄弟。

黄牛以勤劳苦干度日，兔子靠机灵能干为生，日子都过得不错。有一天，善于长跑的兔子在黄牛面炫耀道：“我是动物世界中的长跑冠军，谁也跑不过我!”黄牛虚心求教教长跑的绝招，兔子却骄傲地摇摇头说：“长跑冠军得靠先天的素质，学是学不会的。再说，长跑得身轻体便，你这粗壮的身子，恐怕是永远跑不快的。”黄牛的心给兔子说得凉了半截，可心里不服气。从此，黄牛开始练长跑，凭着一股坚韧不拔的牛劲，黄牛终于练成一双“铁脚”。尾巴一翘，四蹄如风，几天几夜也不知疲乏。到了玉皇大帝排生肖的日子，依照规则，谁先到就让谁当生肖。黄牛与兔子约定，鸡叫头遍就起来，直奔天宫争生肖。

鸡叫头遍，黄牛起床时，兔子早就一个人跑了。兔子跑了好一阵子，回头一持，不见任何动物的影子。兔子心想，我今天起得最早，跑得又最快就是睡上一觉起来，这生肖的头名也是非我莫属。于是，它在草地上呼呼大睡起来。黄牛虽然落后了，但它任坚韧的耐力和平时练就的铁脚，一鼓作气，当兔子还在酣睡的时候，便先跑到了天宫。一阵急促的脚步声惊醒了兔子，睁眼一看，原来是老虎一阵风般地跑过去，这下兔子急了，赶紧追赶，可惜慢了一步，始终还是落在了老虎之后。由于牛的双角间还蹲了一只投机取巧的小老鼠，结果兔子只排到了第四位，前三名是鼠、牛、虎、兔子虽然当上了生肖，但终穷觉得脸上无光，输给了自己讽刺的老牛，回来以后，把家搬到了土洞中。

Chinese New Year

猫是一种漂亮的小动物，它乖巧、驯良，很讨人喜欢。它长着一个小巧玲珑的小面孔，上面有一双蓝宝石般的大眼睛，还有一个红扑扑的小鼻子，它虽然是食肉动物，可是长得一点都不像凶猛的食肉动物。猫也是哺乳动物，它是胎生的，小猫靠吃母亲的奶长大。家猫可以在人类的休息常所生活。那野猫呢？野猫一般生活在草原上，靠草原上的草来隐蔽自己，猫身手敏捷 ,在野外猫靠敏捷的身手来捕捉在草丛飞鸟，其实家猫也是被野猫训化过来的。许多人说猫怕水，不敢下水。其实猫也敢下水，也可以游泳。不过那只是生活在野外的猫。猫是一种非常干净的小动物，不管去到那里身上都是干干净净的，滑滑的。世界是最小的猫只有钢琴键那麽大，才两厘米。猫很机警在休息或睡觉的时候一听到什么声音就立刻起来左看看右看看放心以后就在休息。猫一般生一至两只幼崽，把他们哺育大。

今天，爸爸把我带到西门堤看马戏团的表演。我最喜欢看的是马戏团的狗熊表演。以前我只在电视上看过狗熊，没想到今天可以亲眼目睹狗熊表演节目了。瞧，咱们的狗熊先生慢慢吞吞地上场上了，只见它的全身黑乎乎的，晃动着胖乎乎的身体，瞪着两只闪亮亮的眼睛，在台上大模大样地走着，嘿，一点儿也不怯场。这么笨的狗熊还会玩杂技?我不敢相信。

狗熊表演了一个踩绣球。只见它不慌不忙、慢吞吞地抓住绣球，两只前脚紧紧地趴在绣球的顶上，两只后脚点地支撑着身体，再小心翼翼地往上移，然后纵身一跃，便稳稳地定在了绣球上。瞧，它的身体都弯成了拱形。啊，真是神了，站在绣球上的狗熊慢慢地移动双脚滚动起绣球来，那紧张的样子逗得观众哈哈大笑。

狗熊还表演了走钢丝，你们知道它是怎么上下钢丝的吗?我就来告诉你们吧。狗熊来到一根钢丝绳下，往上一蹦，手终于抓住钢丝了。我真担心，细细的钢丝能承受的住狗熊那笨重的身体吗?抓住钢丝的狗熊又来了一个前空翻，然后松开钢丝，往下一跳，又稳稳的落在地上。狗熊那漂亮而利索的表演赢得了观众的一片喝彩。这只狗熊还挺有范儿的，你们如果不给东西给它吃，它就吊在那里一动不动，有时，发出一声声怒怒吼。好一个脾气暴躁的狗熊，不过它也很可爱。

狗熊还会骑单车，坐下，打滚，一只脚走路……

今天的节目真精彩呀!一只笨笨的狗熊也能表演得这么出色，马戏团的叔叔阿姨真有办法!

Today I saw an article called "everybody comes to the bend". The message is that the students will work together to protect the schools environmental health.

The environmental health of our school is not good enough. Although many students love the school very much, every day you can see many students in earnest service for schools, some pick up the garbage in the trash on the ground, some active hand at the broom sweeping the floor, and take the initiative to clean the blackboard......

But also some students could have done better in cleaning, including me, sometimes very throw rubbish casually, confetti, some classmates clearly see the floor with paper scraps, but them as invisible, this is not "ownership" of the spirit, also greatly affect the appearance of the school. Hope the students to act, "everyone to curved waist" activities, all be the master of the school, everyone starts from me, for us to make our campus environment clean and beautiful. Let people study in high quality environment so that they can get good grades.

今天我看到一篇文章名为《大家都来弯弯腰》。内容是讲，号召同学们齐心保护学校环境卫生。

联想到我们学校的环境卫生也做的不够好。虽然许多同学都非常爱学校，每天可以看到许多同学在认真地为学校服务，有的捡起地上垃圾扔在垃圾桶，有的主动拿起扫帚扫地，还有的主动擦黑板......

可是还有些同学在保洁方面做得不够好，包括我自己，有时很随便地扔垃圾、纸屑，有的同学明明看到地上有纸屑，但他们当作看不见，这样很没“主人翁”的精神，也大大地影响了学校的面貌。希望同学们行动起来，开展“大家都来弯弯腰”的活动，人人争做学校的小主人，人人从我做起，使我们的校园环境既清洁，又美丽。让大家在优质的环境中读书，这样才会取得好成绩。

我很喜欢动物，也常常亲自去“饲养”一些小动物，比如：蚕，蛐蛐，金鱼等。其中，令我印象最深的是那些小金鱼们。

记得去年春节，为了讨个“年年有余”的好兆头，爸爸特意从花鸟市场买了九条小金鱼，让它们在我家鱼缸里安居下来。

小金鱼尾巴是白色的，身体为桔红色;眼睛炯炯有神，挺神气，又大又圆的鱼缸足以让它们自由自在地游来游去。因为小时候有过养金鱼的经历，所以知道用什么方法去养鱼。比如说：差不多隔个三五天喂一次食;一个星期给鱼缸换一次水;最好在水里放置氧气棒，使快乐的小鱼儿能呼吸到新鲜的氧气。

有了氧气棒，金鱼们在水里可舒服了，整天在水里你追我赶，好不热闹!时间过得飞快，转眼金鱼来我家已有一年的时间，每天，我都会在鱼缸边呆上十分钟，欣赏着可爱的小鱼无忧无虑的样子。开始，鱼儿一见到有人来，就像受到惊吓似的在水中惊恐地乱串。但时间长了，小鱼们渐渐地和我熟悉起来，看到我来了，就都朝我游过来，抬着头仿佛在向我讨食哩!每当我往水里放一些米饭时，小鱼们一拥而上，食物很快就被抢得一干二净。别看它们个头小，吃的速度还挺快，一口就能吞半粒米饭。

一天，我半夜起来上厕所。刚打开灯，就发现鱼缸里的金鱼们眼睛睁得老大，一动不动地停在水里，难道它们不睡觉吗?带着疑惑，上网查了才知道，金鱼是没有眼皮的，所以它们睡觉时我们是看不出来的。同时，还有一个问题也困扰这我：鱼类喝水吗?于是我又查找了百科全书，知道了“鱼一生都是不喝水的”。

不知不觉又过了八个月，虽然有三条鱼“永别了”，但剩下的六条依然健康，成天快乐地玩耍，嬉闹。

我爱那些小金鱼，因为它们是我生活中的好伙伴!

At the foot of Yulong(Jade Dragon)Snow Mountain in northwesternYunnan Province is the ancient town of Lijiang. In the remote past.itwas already inhabited with tribal people. In i 253 , Kublai Khan，the Mongol chief，stationed his troops here on his southward march to conquer the State of Dali. For the next 500 years，to the early days of the Qing Dynasty、the place was ruled by a herditary succession of chieftains from the Mu clan of the Naxi people、under the jurisdiction of the imperial court.

在云南省西北部的玉龙雪上教学坐落着人间仙境般的丽江古城。这里在远古时期就有部落居民居住生活。1253年，蒙古族头领忽必烈在讲军南方占领大理州的路上曾让他的队伍驻扎于此。在随后的500年里，直到清朝初期，这个地方都山纳西族氏族酋长世袭统治，统属朝廷管辖。

Lijiang is a mystical and beautiful town on the center of Lijiang valley，2 410 meters above sea level，with about 25 000 residents on an area of 3 .8 square kilometers. It is the gateway to northwest Yunnan region。and No. 214 National Road runs through the city to Tibet in the north or to Dali City in the south , capital of the autonomous prefecture.

丽江古城位于丽江坝子中央，海拔2410米，面积3.8万平方公里，人口约2.5万。这里是滇西北的重要门户，如今，214国道贯穿丽江全市，北可达西藏，南可至大理，交通十分便利。

The inhabitants of Lijiang are mainly of Naxi minority .and the city is the only autonomous city of the nationality. It has long been known world wide for its grandiose snow clad mountain，the steep gorge，the elegant Mt. Laojun，the clean Lugu Lake， and the colorful and various customs of the minorities. The outside world is surprised by its ancient and simple sense of‘identity of Heaven and Man" and its protound and excenent cunure，amazed by the ancestors of the minorities who built a city without a wall on the beautiful land of Lijiang at this southwest frontier. In December of 1997，World Heritage Committee registered it on World Heritage List，and this“city forgotten gods" was since unveiled to the world with its oriental mystery and charm like pearl hidden among the mountains

古城里聚居的居民以纳西族同胞为主，是我国唯一的纳西族自治区。丽江从来就以它巍峨壮丽的大当山、雄奇险峻的人峡补、灵秀峻美的老君山、碧波荡漾的泸沽湖和多姿多彩的少数民族风情而闻名于世。人们惊讶于这里“天人合一”的古朴意识及其博大精深的文化内涵，赞叹西南边陲的少数民族先人们，在丽江这片奇丽的土地上筑起了一座没有城墙的古城。1997年12月，联合国教科文组织将丽江古城列入《世界遗产名录》。从此，这个”被神仙遗忘在人间的城郭“，犹如一处藏于大山之中的宝藏呗发掘出来，向世人展示东方文明的神秘和魅力。

travelingis usually boring. There are always too many people in the places

of interest in China and it is crowed everywhere, when it comes to the golden

weeks, this situation could be worse. Just imagine that you are waiting in line,

hungry and thirsty. All you want is a ticket that can get through the door to

see the beautiful view. You may complain: “why am I coming to the terrible

place? Why I do this to myself?” If you are unlucky, you may encounter a bad

guide who forces you to shop here and there. How horrible it is! What’s worse,

you may spend more money than usually does.

Why don’t you just stay at home and enjoy the cozy life? You don’t need to

go outside to see the view, you can just turn on the TV or computer, the amazing

view will represent in front of you. You not only save a large sum of money, but

also your precious time. And you can do other things too, such as watching a

classic movie, chatting with friends on the phone or surfing the Internet. This

could be so much fun! Therefore, I prefer to stay at home instead of going

outside.
