“一年之计在于春，一日之计在于晨”。春天是一年中最美的季节。一眨眼，鸟语花香的春天就到来了。

我自己也有心中的春天。春天来后，到处是嫩嫩的绿草，草丛中开满了各种各样的花，把草地装点得就像绣了花得绿绒地毯。我走在草地上，感到脚下软绵绵的，非常舒服。草地上还有许多蝴蝶，它们都穿着五颜六色的彩装，或上下飞舞，或在草间歇息。向远望去，有一大片一大片的原野，原野上，果树成荫，红色的果实挂满枝头，就像在绿树上嵌满了无数硕大的宝石。果园上空，还有许多小鸟轻飞漫舞;它们披着色彩缤纷的羽毛，唱着婉转的歌儿。一条小溪穿林而过，延伸到绿色的草地上，从我脚边潺潺流过。溪水清澈见底，流动时发出清脆的声响，想奏这一首动人的乐曲，与小鸟的歌声应和成趣。

在一条条小路两旁，铺满了许许多多美丽的花朵，黄的、白的、红的、紫的……真是五颜六色，姹紫嫣红。尤其是花丛中到处都开满了硕大的花。它是那么鲜艳，红的炫目，黄的耀眼，在阳光的照射下，人们的眼睛都被逼得睁不开了……

这就是春，这就是我心中的春。我不由得发出赞叹：我爱你，心中的春!

Grandma has cooked delicious zongzi at home. When she opened the pot cover, the

fragrance of zongzi was floating all over the house, making my mouth water

continuously. I cant wait to peel off the zongzi leaf and eat it with relish.

are lots of people here, and the traffic is very busy! The race started, and

every team is ready to go. With a burst of gunfire, each dragon boat flies

across the water like an arrow. The audience cheered and shouted, cheering and

encouraging for the contestants. The contestants listened with confidence and

strove hard to paddle, and the water splashed everywhere. Each dragon boat

chased after each other. At last, the laggard No. 1 finally caught up with the

far ahead No. 2. The audience couldnt help cheering. There was a sea of joy

everywhere. Ah! This is the most unforgettable day for me.

I remember the sixth grade when the National Day holiday seven days off our family ready to travel to Luoyang tourism, usually we rarely go out this time finally can go out to play for a while.

Eleven finally arrived, we packed up something, ready to travel we 7:00 on the train, the driver prepared almost half an hour, 7:30 departure, the trip is very long, to the afternoon to, when we sit a few Hours of the car, approaching 2:30, and most of us are sleeping, but it is this time more and more dangerous to happen, suddenly the car shook the two, we quickly got up and found a crash, we are afraid The car to burst, we rush to get off, people are smashing the window, the windows broke open people continue, when to me, I am very careful, I do not know why suddenly someone pushed me behind, I suddenly Jumped down, only go without any feeling can be a while I found hot, I look, ah! Put on a broken big hole, then my father came to see my wound immediately from the pocket out of a large toilet paper, my hand wrapped up, after a hospital ambulance came. We have been received by the hospital after some treatment finally cured, just to wrap gauze.

Then we are still happy to go to Luoyang important attractions: Longmen Grottoes and White Horse Temple, and then the next afternoon we do the car back home.

Although out of a car accident, but we are still very happy to play, as "survived, there must be after the blessing" Well!

If you choose only to complain and escaperom the ordeal, it will always follow you wherever you go. But if you decide to be strong, the hardship will turn out to be a fortune on which new hopes will arise.

He lost his arms in an accident that claimed his fathers life—who was the main source of support for the family. Since then, he has had to depend on the arms of his younger brother. For the sake of taking care of him, his younger brother became his shadow, never leaving him alone for years. Except for writing with his toes, he was completely unable to do anything in his life.

One late night, he suffered from diarrhea and had to wake up his younger brother. His younger brother accompanied him into the toilet and then went back the dorm to wait. But being so tired, his younger brother fell asleep, leaving him on the toilet for two hours till the teacher on duty discovered him. As the two brothers grew up together, they had their share of problems and they would often quarrel. Then one day, his younger brother wanted to live separate from him, living his own life, as many normal people do. So he was heart-broken and didnt know what to do.

A similar misfortune befell a girl, too. One night her mother, who suffered from chronic mental illness disappeared. So her father went out looking for her mother, leaving her alone at home. She tried to prepare meals for her parents, only to overturn the kerosene light on the stove, resulting in a fire which took her hands away.

Though her elder sister who was studying in another city, showed her willingness to take care of her, she was determined to be completely independent. At school, she always studied hard. Most of all she learned to be self-reliant. Once she wrote the following in her composition: "I am lucky. Though I lost my arms, I still have legs; I am lucky. Though my wings are broken, my heart can still fly."

One day, the boy and the girl were both invited to appear on a television interview program. The boy told the TV host about his uncertain future at being left on his own, whereas the girl was full of enthusiasm for her life. They both were asked to write something on a piece of paper with their toes. The boy wrote: My younger brothers arms are my arms;while the girl wrote: Broken wings, flying heart.

They had both endured the same ordeal, but their different attitudes determined the nature of their lives. It is true that life is unpredictable. Disasters can strike at any time. How you handle misfortune when confronted with it, is the true test of your character. If you choose only to complain and escape from the ordeal, it will always follow you wherever you go. But if you decide to be strong, the hardship will turn out to be a fortune on which new hopes will arise.

面对苦难，如果选择抱怨与逃避，苦难就永远如影随形;但如果选择坚强，苦难便会化作甘泉，滋润美好的希望。

在一次事故中，作为家中顶梁柱的父亲永远地离去了，他也因此失去了双手。从此弟弟的手便成了他的手。为了照顾他，弟弟从小到大总是形影不离地跟在他的身边，他除了学会了用脚趾头写字做作业外，生活上完全不能自理。

有一次，他因肠胃不好，半夜起来要上厕所，于是他叫醒了弟弟。弟弟帮着他进了厕所后，就回宿舍躺下了。由于太劳累，弟弟闭上眼就睡着了。结果他在厕所里等了整整两个小时，才被查夜的老师发现。慢慢长大了的两兄弟也有了烦恼和争执，有一天弟弟终于提出要离开他，因为弟弟要和很多正常人一样需要过自己的生活。为此，他很伤心，不知如何是好。

无独有偶，另一个女孩也有着同样的遭遇。因为妈妈长期患有精神病，在一天晚上无故出走，爸爸去找妈妈了，家中便只留下她一人。她决定做好饭菜等爸爸妈妈回来吃，却不小心将灶台上的煤油灯打翻，结果双手便被大火夺走了。

虽然在外地读书的姐姐愿意照顾她，可倔强的她一定要自己照顾自己。在学校，她不但读书认真，更重要的是她学会了生活自理。她曾在一篇英作文里写道：我幸福，虽然断了双手，但我还拥有一双脚;我幸福，虽然翅膀断了，但心也要飞翔……

有一天，他们被一家电视台邀请到了演播室。面对主持人，男孩表现出了对前途的迷茫，而女孩则对生活充满了热情。主持人要求他们分别在一张白纸上写一句话。他们分别用脚趾头夹起了笔，男孩写的是：“弟弟的手便是我的手。”女孩却写下了：“翅膀断了，心也要飞翔。”

他们俩都经受了同样的苦难，但不同的人生态度却决定了其生活的本质。是的，人生多变幻，苦难总是在不知不觉中骤然降临。如何应对苦难，是对你的性格的真正考验。面对苦难，如果选择抱怨与逃避，苦难就永远如影随形;但如果选择坚强，苦难便会化作甘泉，滋润美好的希望。

teachers, because we wanted to show our gratitude to them. At first, we had no

idea what to buy, because we wanted to do something special. So at last an idea

came to my mind. I advised to write a card, pasting some pictures of classmates

on it. Everybody agreed with me, so we spent a day to take some funny pictures,

and everybody wrote down their names on the card. When we sent this gift to the

teachers, they loved it so much. They were so impressed by this precious

surprise and would keep it forever.

I came back to school after the summer vacation. As soon as I settled down, I made a phone call to my mother. When I talked to her, I could not hold back my tears. “After all,” I said, “You’re my mother.”

During the vacation, mother and I had a quarrel. After that we were unwilling to talk with each other. She thought I was her sweet daughter and I believed that she did not respect me. Then after few days, I left home. My mother gave me a full package of home-make food and she said to me, “I cook this morning, take this then you can have it on the train.” However, I refuse to take it. I just turned away and slam the door without saying goodbye to my mother. I was still angry about her. “You’re still my good girl.” My mother said in a low voice chocked with sob.

On the train I could not eat anything, I felt terrible. How I wish I had said sorry to my mother before I left. Now all I want to say is, will you forgive me, my dear mother?

在火车上我吃不下任何东西，我感觉很内疚。我真希望在离家之前对我妈妈说声抱歉啊。现在我只想说：我最亲爱的母亲，你愿意原谅我么？

The Huang Mountain is a place of interest. here are lots of tourists seeing sights every day. Years ago, some of them paid no attention to environment protection. They threw about waste paper, plastic bags and tins. Besides, they killed animals, caught birds, destroyed trees and flowers. Worse still,

Plants are also protected. All the tourists carry their lunch in order not to start forest fire. We must sing high praise of the good deeds.

事情的结果便是这样。那颗长在山上的橡树经历了大风大雨，结果它的根深深地扎进了泥土中间，并不断向四周扩张，甚至把自己置身于巨大的石块当中。有时它可能看起来长的不是很快，但这时它却在地下悄悄生长着，好像它的根知道自己必须快速生长来保护树木免受自然危害的影响。
