早上起床后，我兴冲冲地跑下楼吃早点。待我坐在餐桌边一看，“啊，全是粽子!”咸的，甜的，肉的满满一大桌。“对了，今天是我们传统的端午节，所以必须吃粽子!你知道端午节为什么要吃粽子吗?”我们家“老学究”又要开始卖文了……

一边吃着粽子，一边听老爸讲叙端午节由来的故事。原来，端午节“吃粽子”，“划龙舟”都是为了纪念我们伟大的屈原大夫呀!想象着两千多年的今天，一个人郁郁孤独地徘徊在“汨罗江”边，然后，纵身一跃……想到这里，于是我向老爸建议“等下我们去看‘划龙舟’时，也带一点粽子去投到江水中!?”只见老爸犹豫了一下后，“当然可以!但为了更好地纪念屈原，待会我们要先学一首屈原的诗赋”。

吃完早餐，老爸选了屈原的《离骚》：“纷吾既有此内美兮，又重之以修能;扈江离与辟芷兮，纫秋兰以为佩;汨余若将不及兮，恐年岁之不吾与……”哎!读起来拗口得要命，但听老爸说屈原的《离骚》，不仅是我们 中国文学的奇珍，也是世界文学的瑰宝!看来不得不“重视”了。于是，认真地听着老爸“一字一句”的解释后，又开始学着古人“摇头晃脑”地背了起来……

“摇晃”了一上午后，终于可以去看“划龙舟”了!按奈住激动的心情，拎着一包“粽子”和老爸出发了。只见清澈的漓江上，几条挂着彩旗的龙舟漫不经心地“游戈”着。“我们桂林的龙舟赛是‘五年一小划，十年一大划’，今年既不是‘小划’，也不是‘大划’!”老爸在旁失望地说道。

唉!看来是我的“运气”不好，哪怕是“小划”也行啊。听老爸讲九八年的那次“大赛”，光参“赛”的龙舟就有一百二十多条!漓江两岸挤满了观赛的人群，还有来自国际上的龙舟队呢!那，该是何等壮观啊!

这时，远处江面划来一条插着三角形彩旗的大龙舟。对了，船中间还有一顶庄严的“黄罗盖伞”，还有“蟠桃树”，披红挂彩的龙头上还“长”着长长的龙须呢!随着阵阵鞭炮声，一支高亢、悠扬的“唢呐”声也冉冉传来。这，大概就是老爸说的“龙舟唢呐调”吧……

中文翻译：

每年的五月初五，是我国的一个重要传统节日——端午节。

每逢到这一天，家家户户都要吃棕子、喝雄黄酒、挂菖蒲、艾叶、有些地方还举行划龙舟比赛……

关于端午节，有一个流传很广的故事。中国古代有一位伟大的爱国诗人，名叫屈原。在公元278年，农历五月初五的那天，屈原在绝望、悲愤之下，投入旧罗江，当地的百姓闻讯后，马上划船去打捞，一直行止洞庭湖始终不见屈原的尸体。

为了寄托哀思，人们荡舟江河之上，此后就变成为龙舟比赛。百姓又怕江河里的鱼吃掉屈原的身体，就纷纷从家里拿来米糰投入江中，以免鱼虾糟蹋屈原的尸体。后来就形成了吃粽子的习俗……

根据以上故事来看，这些都是为了纪念屈原而形成一种风俗习惯。我国还有许许多多的传统文化，作为一名中国人，我平时还要更多地去了解这些灿烂古代文化。

中国有许许多多丰富多彩的传统文化，博大精深，源远流长。由于我从小非常爱吃粽子，所以对“端午节”的印象非常深刻。

再过二十来天，端午节就要到了。

说起我家过这个端午节呀，我还真是感慨万分啊!实属让人哭笑不得!

“五月五，是端阳。门插艾，香满堂。吃粽子，洒白糖。龙船下水喜洋洋。”这首民谣生动地表达了端午节的主要习俗。

我的家乡没有江河湖水来划龙舟，不过每逢端午，还是可以看到人家门前插着一束艾草或菖蒲，更可以闻到从各家各户传来的阵阵粽子的香味。

按理说，我家过端午也没啥区，别可就是有些与众不同。众位看官欲知到底有何不同，且耐心往下看——

其实也无太大区别。还不就是过个端午节!只是我家的气氛不对头。

人家过端午，都欢欢喜喜，热热闹闹的;可我家却是硝烟弥漫，分成两派，年年都要斗上两回合，才肯罢休。

传说在屈原投江时，人们因为捞不上屈原的尸体，所以用栋叶、芦叶和五彩丝包裹的粽子投入汨罗江以祭祀屈原，不让江里的蛟龙吃掉屈原的尸体。从这以后，端午节包粽子的习俗就流传了下来。

如今的粽子在讲究饮食文化的中国人巧手经营下，不论是造型还是原料上，都有了很大的变化。而我家的分歧之一就在这粽子馅儿上。

爸妈喜欢吃糯米粽、蚕豆粽;而我和弟弟则喜欢吃豆沙粽和肉粽。可妈妈在包粽子的时候总是以种.种理由来反对包豆沙粽和肉粽。于是就有了第一回合的较量。

“妈，这次有包豆沙粽和肉粽吗?”

“包那两种粽子多麻烦!包豆沙粽又要洗、又要磨的你想累死你妈我哇!肉粽又油腻腻的，多吃对身体健康无益。还是糯米粽和蚕豆粽比较好!”‘青菜萝卜，各有所好。我们两姐弟就是喜欢吃这两样嘛!难道您连这一小小的要求都不肯答应吗?”

“那好啊，你们有本事就自己包去，现在我没空!”“包就包，谁怕谁!”，怎么着也不能亏了自己的肚子!很快我们就凑齐了所需的原料。接下来我们俩淘米的淘米、切肉的切肉，干的是热火朝天!

忙了大半天，总算把粽子包好、煮好了。可我们还是和爸妈堵着气呢。干脆就把吃的挪到了客厅，边看电视边吃粽子，好不惬意!

“节分端午自谁言，万古传闻为屈原”，今天是中国的传统节日端午节。

我和爸爸妈妈一起来到奶奶家过端午。奶奶早就在等我们了，我刚一打开车门，她笑盈盈地走过来搂着我说：“我家孙女又长高了呢！”走进奶奶家，我就闻到一股植物淡淡的清香，不住地往厨房里探头，爷爷正在包粽子呢。我赶紧跑过去对爷爷说：“爷爷，我也要包粽子。”爷爷笑着说：“好好好，我这就教你做，不过这粽子可不好包，你要看仔细咯！”于是爷爷拿起粽叶从中间对着卷成漏斗的形状，再用勺子一勺一勺地把米放进粽叶里，差不多装了一半，爷爷又舀了一个红枣嵌进去，再装入一些糯米将粽叶填满，接着把叶子往里一折，用红线将包好的粽子绕起来，“最主要绕紧，否则米会漏出来，那就要粘锅了。”爷爷一边示范给我看，一边用力地拉了拉绳子，最后打一个结。一个胖鼓鼓、穿着深绿色衣服的粽子就完成了。我学着爷爷的样子把叶子卷起来，不一会儿，我和爷爷就做了一大盘粽子，爷爷把粽子小心地放进锅里，蒸了一会儿，锅里冒出一股清新的味道，弥漫了整个厨房，经过一上午的蒸煮，粽子就出炉了。这时姑姑们也来了，平时冷清的爷爷家一下子热闹起来，我们边吃边聊天，可开心了。

突然爷爷问我：“曼嘉，你知道这个端午节是怎么来的吗？”“当然知道！”我兴奋地回答：“古时候有个爱国诗人叫屈原，他看到自己的国家被敌人侵略，不忍心看到国家变成这样，最后投入汨罗江表示自己爱国的决心，百姓们不希望他死，就划船打捞屈原，又担心江里的蛟龙、鱼虾会吃他的身体，于是纷纷把食物丢到江里给鱼虾，希望他们不要吃屈原的尸身。后来人们又将食物用叶子包裹起来丢进江里，端午节吃粽子的习俗就是这样来的。”听了我的解说，大家纷纷夸我是个博学多才的小才女。

端午节作为我们中国的传统节日，随着时代的变化，其实演变到现在，更是一个一家人团聚、放松的节日。

the 5th day of the 5th month of the lunar year is an important day for the chinese people. the day is called duan wu festival, or dragon boat festival, celebrated everywhere in china.

this festival dates back to about 2,000 years ago with a number of legends explaining its origin. the best-known story centers on a great patriotic poet named qu yuan.

the customs vary a lot in different areas of the country, but most of the families would hang the picture of zhong kui (a ghost that can exorcise), calamus and moxa in their houses. people have dragon boat races, eat zong zi (dumpling made of glutinous rice wrapped in bamboo or reed leaves) and carry a spice bag around with them.

你知道这个节日的起源吗?阅读下面的文章,你会有一个明确的端午节的照片。

5月的第五天农历年的对中国人民是一个重要的一天。段叫做吴节的第二天,端午节,在中国各地庆祝。

这个节日可以追溯到大约2000年前的传说解释它的起源。最著名的故事集中在一个伟大的爱国诗人叫屈原。

海关在不同地区不同,但大多数家庭将挂的照片中亏(鬼能驱走),菖蒲和艾自己的房子。人们有龙舟比赛,吃粽子(饺子糯米包在竹叶或芦苇叶)和随身携带一个香料袋。

端午节到了，家家户户都包粽子，我们家当然也不例外。

这天一大早，我和妈妈就去菜市买包粽子的食材：瘦肉、糯米、稻草，新鲜的粽叶，剥了壳的干板栗。回到家，我们迫不及待地把干板栗和绿豆放到水里洗干净，再分别把它们和瘦肉捞在一起，接着放一点盐、味精、酱油，拌匀，馅就做好了。接着进入正题——包粽子喽!先把竹叶卷成圆锥状再放一点糯米，中间放馅，再放入糯米，然后将粽叶包好，最后用稻草绑住，就做成了一个三角粽。我越包越带劲，还给自己包了一个心形的粽子，我为自己的创新暗暗得意。把包好的粽子放到锅里，大概煮两个钟头，新鲜美味的粽子就可以出锅了。三角粽还可以做很多种口味的，如：豆沙馅的、香菇排骨馅的……也有什么馅都不放的，煮熟了蘸着蜂蜜或白糖吃也别有一番风味。

据说端午节包三角粽是为了纪念一位伟大的诗人——屈原。但我不赞成他为了爱国而自杀，因为生命永远是最宝贵的，活着可以为国家做更多有益的事情。

The environmental pollution is worse and worse today. Many trees are cut

down, and water and air are polluted. As a student I try to have a low-carbon

life to save energy and reduce pollution.Firstly, I often walk to school. It can

reduce air pollution. Secondly, I always turn off the lights and fans when

leaving the classroom.

Thirdly, I always make full use of paper and other school things and never

waste water.

Honesty is long-lasting virtue of people all over the world. Likewise, it

is also one of the deeply-held values of the Chinese people. Some people believe

that in the market economy, honesty tends to be obsolete. In my opinion, honesty

will never be out of date no matter what the situation might be.

Firstly, honesty has been treasured and honest people have been respected

through history in all parts of the world. People everywhere would regarded

honesty as a virtue and hate a dishonesty person. Secondly, honesty is the basis

of interactions among people. People should treat each other sincerely and open

their hearts to each other. Only in this way can the relationship among the

people be natural. Thirdly, in the market economy, some people try to get more

money at the cost of honesty. To them, a best businessman is one who can cheat

most tactfully. Even in this kind of society, honesty is deeply valued by most

people.

We can see that not only in history, but also at the present day, honesty

was and is valued by the majority of the people and the virtue will not perish

so easily.

When talk about tennis, most people’s reaction is money, because for

Chinese people, it needs a lot of money to play tennis, so only the rich people

can have the chance to be a tennis player. But now, as our country’s economy

develops fast and the globalization of tennis, playing tennis is not an

untouchable dream, everyone can have access to tennis.

Tennis match is very popular in the western country, every year, there are

a lot of tennis tour matches, ten years ago, not so many Chinese people know

about the tennis matches, but as the game become more and more popular, people

start to fall in love with tennis match. We can see that Chinese tennis players

start to show on the world stage, they have won so much honor. Li Na is the

first Asian player to win the grand slam, her great success inspires so many

Chinese players to work on the tennis career.

Tennis is the world’s third game, football and basketball rank first and

second. The globalization of the tennis will make more and more people fall in

love with tennis.

The main function of public libraries is to provide books for people to

read.In a library,there are books on different subjects,such as Chinese

history,fine art,science,English literature,and so on.There are also works fo

fiction.

The public libraries are crowded with people on weekdays as well as Sundays

because many people,especially students who want to consult reference books for

their school work,know that they could at least learn something there.

Besides reading in the library,we can also borrow books with library

cards.But books on loan had to be returned within a couple of weeks.As far as I

know the number of people who borrow books from public libraries is increasing

year after year.

I go to the City Hall library twice a month to read.
