Day of the Dead(亡灵节，墨西哥传统节日，人们通过守灵、上供等方式祭奠逝去的亲人。)

“清明时节探亡魂，细雨纷飞似泪痕。”每到清明节，天空总飘着细雨，席天卷地把人间都笼罩在一片朦胧之中，那是什么?是泪水，是后人祭奠祖先时所流的泪啊!

“今年的清明到了。”望着车窗外斜密雨丝，我与父母踏上了家乡归途。终于回到爷爷坟前，墓碑经过几年风雨磨啮，上面的墓志铭早已褪色，埋在一片萋萋青草之中，我跪在墓前，望着冷硬冷硬的墓碑无情地站在我和爷爷的面前，仅仅是一碑只隔，但是我知道我和爷爷的距离早已是阴阳两界了。

六年前，我还清楚地记得爷爷去世的那一天也下雨了。他走得很安详，就像睡着了。两片厚唇紧闭着，鼻孔胀大，似乎还有气息，眼幕微闭着，好像下一秒就会睁开，可是，这一闭就是真的闭上了。爷爷是因公致残的，在床上躺了大半辈子，爸爸曾经说过等他长大了一定要当个医生治好爷爷的腿，等到真的长大时，腿没治好，爷爷却死于心脑血管疾病。

“爷爷，不孝孙来看您了!”燃烧殆尽的香火飘飘四散，熏着我的脸，那带一点暖的抚摸就像爷爷的大手，淡淡的在脸上划过，粗糙却不乏细腻，我哭了，不是悲怆于生命的脆弱，而是魂断于亲情的永诀。不由想起了朱自清的《背影》。可是我的爷爷站不起来，也做不到爬上月台去买橘子给我。但是他下棋时的凝神专注的神情我是忘不了的……

依稀记得坐在轮椅上的他沐浴着午后的阳光，一只手环抱着我，另一只在紧锁的额头上摩挲，注视着眼前的颗颗棋子，好像在等待时机。

突然，他伸手捏起手边的“车”，“啪”的一下拍在对方的“帅”上。完美的结束了这进半小时的僵持。从那时起爷爷下棋的眉头就让我觉得那是世界上最威风的事了。我永远忘不了他那紧锁的眉头，尤其是他的笑，更加温柔可人。

那是他去世的前一年，那时他已经患了严重的高血压和动脉粥样硬化，我要去上学了，临走前他把我一直送到门口，当我坐进车里时他还扒在车窗上笑着说包里有给我准备的早餐，然后才转动轮椅费力地向家里移动。

“柳色梅花仍依旧，阴阳相隔梦晨昏。”柳树、梅花仍然如去年一样开着，可是我和我的爷爷却只能在梦中相见了。一年又一年，清明雨飘洒天际，清明魂缠绕在心间，那是一捧千年流淌不干的思亲泪，无际，无尽……

There was a man who had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn to not judge

things too quickly. So he sent them each on a quest，in turn，to go and look at a

pear tree that was a great distance away.

The first son went in the winter，the second in the spring，the third in

summer，and the youngest son in the fall.

When they had all gone and come back，he called them together to describe

what they had seen.

The first son said that the tree was ugly，bent，and twisted. The second son

said no - it was covered with green buds and full of promise.

The third son disagreed，he said it was laden with blossoms that smelled so

sweet and looked so beautiful，it was the most graceful thing he had ever

seen.

The last son disagreed with all of them;he said it was ripe and drooping

with fruit，full of life and fulfillment.

The man then explained to his sons that they were all right，because they

had each seen but one season in the tree‘s life. He told them that you cannot

judge a tree，or a person，by only one season，and that the essence of who they are

- and the pleasure，joy，and love that come from that life - can only be measured

at the end，when all the seasons are up.

If you give up when it‘s winter，you will miss the promise of your

spring，the beauty of your summer，fulfillment of your fall. Don’t let the pain of

one season destroy the joy of all the rest.

We now phone really is also very useful, very convenient, no matter the

ends of the earth, can be reached, the letters can be more convenient than

before. It may be said "near", the world we live in on the mobile phone signal

under siege. It has the function of strong, is not a tool and a...

But mobile phones bring us, all is not good, sometimes is bad. Mobile phone

will have a cell phone rings? Li bai in exclamation "bowed their heads and

remembering home", someone will make a phone call for he will be home to have a

look? Must not! And they have lots of classical poems, we are now living in an

age of han han and guo jingming, no one to appreciate those celebrities yake

excellent poems.

Mobile phones has both advantages and disadvantages, we should properly use

cell phone to, can not afford to indulge in a world of mobile phone.

I love traveling. Traveling not only broadens my horizons but also opens my

eyes to the world. Whats more, it refreshes me. You can go to Disneyland and

experience what its like to be “a child again!” You can visit one of the “seven

wonders of the world,” such as the Grand Canyon and feel the magnificence of

nature! You can taste the “magicial” ice water on a glacier, which can help you

become more beautiful and make you live longer. Just forget all trifles and

burdens that you have in your mind. Experience is a type of living knowledge.

Youll be sure to experience many new things when traveling. You dont even need a

tour guide if you long for more freedom. Just dont forget to bring your

backpack!

girl with big eyes and small mouth.She is good at English,so she can speak

English very well.She also likes singing and dancing.Well,she likes doing

sports,and she is good at playing badminton.Her favorite hobby is collecting

stamps,so she has many beautiful stamps from all over the world.She is kind and

funny too,all of us like her.

When autumn comes, I feel so excited, because the sports meeting comes. I

like sports so much. When I was very small, my father took me to watch the

basketball match, in the long time, sports have become part of my life. When I

started to come to school, I join the basketball team, I had the great time to

practice with my friends. Though high school life is very busy and I have to

learn so many subjects, I still keep taking exercise everyday. Sports meeting

time is my favorite time in the semester. I can take part in many activities,

such as basketball and high jump. I am full of energy, I just want to enjoy the

moment of taking exercise. Sports meeting indeed brings students many energy and

make the students become active. They can also exercise their bodies.

As the Christmas Day is coming, our class decided to send some gifts to our

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.

From the earliest time to the present days, viewpoints concerning human

nature were vehemently contended among prominent philosophers. Mencius believed

human nature is good, and people are naturally inclined toward virtue. While,

Xunzi deemed human are basically evil who need to be changed by man-made.

As it is widely known, human nature is that indestructible matrix upon

which the character is built. Accordingly, to a large extent, the basic nature

of human beings cannot be changed. On the other hand, each of us is naturally

endowed with diverse both qualities and personalities, which makes us unfold an

apparently distinct character. Then, it is hard for one to change his nature

fundamentally. Regardless of whether nature is innate or habitus acquired, they

were both a consistently developing courses that cannot be easily changed in a

short time. Last but not the least, external influencing factors, like

religious, education and even social institutions can merely direct our nature

on account of the most limited control. Thus, it is only the surface that is

capable of alteration, improvement and refinement.

In a word, the basic nature of human beings does not and cannot change and

also no one can fundamentally change his nature in the short time. But people

can make it perfect.

Computer is increasingly popular in people’s daily life. The number of

computer in every family is more than TV set. Some people think it is so great

that they all regard it as a gift from the heaven. However, some people consider

it brings more disadvantages than advantages. In my opinion, both opinions are

correct, but if we can use computer in a proper way, its advantages are superior

to disadvantages. I have several reasons.

On the one hand, computer makes human beings’ life become easier. People

can do many things that they can’t do before. They can read newspaper without

buying it, only sitting in front of their computer, clicking mouse to open

website. Shopping online, watching movies, listening music and play computer

games are the common things that people often do by computer. But without

computer, they can’t do all these easily. In addition, computer is also very

helpful for study and work. People can have classes and work on it.

On the other hand, computer has so many attractive things that some people

will be addicted to it. Some of them may busy finding funs on it, and then

ignore their real duty, such as, study and work. As a result, it will have great

bad effect on their future.

To sum, computer has advantages and disadvantages. But if people can

control themselves to use computer properly, it is useful for their whole

life.

Qingming Festival, also known as Pure Brightness Festival or Tomb-sweeping Day, is one of the 24 segments of the Chinese calendar. It normally falls on the 4th or 5th of April, between spring plowing and summer weeding, and is a time to pay respects to ones ancestors and to tidy their gravesite. On this day, whole families, young and old, go to the gravesite of deceased family members to burn incense and perform a ritual offering while clearing away plant overgrowth from the gravesite.

Qingming Festival is when Chinese people visit the graves or burial grounds of their ancestors. Traditionally, people brought a whole rooster with them to the graves visited but the occasion has become less formal over time. The festival originated from Hanshi Day (寒食节, literally, Day with cold food only), a memorial day for Jie Zitui (介子推). Jie Zitui died in 636 BC in the Spring and Autumn Period. He was one of many followers of Duke Wen of Jin before he became a duke.

Once, during Wens 19 years of exile, they had no food and Jie prepared some meat soup for Wen. Wen enjoyed it a lot and wondered where Jie had obtained the soup. It turned out Jie had cut a piece of meat from his own thigh to make the soup. Wen was so moved he promised to reward him one day. However, Jie was not the type of person who sought rewards. Instead, he just wanted to help Wen to return to Jin to become king.

Once Wen became duke, Jie resigned and stayed away from him. Duke Wen rewarded the people who helped him in the decades, but for some reason he forgot to reward Jie, who by then had moved into the forest with his mother. Duke Wen went to the forest, but could not find Jie. Heeding suggestions from his officials, Duke Wen ordered men to set the forest on fire to force out Jie. However, Jie died in the fire. Feeling remorseful, Duke Wen ordered three days without fire to honour Jies memory. The county where Jie died is still called Jiexiu (介休, literally "the place Jie rests forever").

When I was in Thailand, I could feel its religious belief. Whats more, there were so many foreigners here, and I talked to them happily.

今天，是一年一度的清明节，奶奶一个星期前就说要带我去祭祖，我天盼地盼终于盼来了。

Today is the Qingming Festival once a year, a week ago, grandma said to take me to worship, I hope to look forward to finally look forward to.

前年，是爷爷带我去祭祖的，所以，这次是奶奶带我去。在通往祭祖的路上，奶奶显得格外严肃，平时那个幽默风趣的奶奶消失得无影无踪了。淡蓝色的小野花,纯金色的油菜花,碧绿色的的小草儿,神气十足的竹子``````给这幅通向祭祖的这幅“图画’’点缀上了一种别具风味的感觉,令人只可以表达出一种严肃的表情。

Two years ago, is the grandfather took me to the ancestors, so, this is my grandmother took me to the. On the way to worship their ancestors, grandma is particularly serious, usually the humorous she disappeared Not the least trace was found.. The pale blue flowers, pure golden rape flowers, green grass of the small, put on airs to this piece of bamboo and so on to worship the "picture with a unique flavor of feeling, it can only express a serious expression.

过了几分钟,我和奶奶到达了目的地，祭祖正式开始了。奶奶让我先去把曾祖父的灵位两旁点上蜡烛，奶奶说了，我去点可以表达我对曾祖父的尊敬。然后，奶奶把鲜花放在曾祖父灵位前，我和奶奶在灵位前磕头，然后再说几句保佑我们全家的话.之后,奶奶还把一些瞑币在灵位前给烧了。然后，我们再在灵位前磕了几个头还用手把周围的垃圾捡掉，并再去祭拜一下，再在坟头插上三根点燃的香。这次祭祖就算是大功告成了!

今年又逢清明节。

昨天是清明节的第二天，也是一个扫尘的日子，我、弟弟、父亲和母亲一起去了乡下爷爷家，准备一起去登山扫尘。

“清明时节雨纷纷。”不错，昨天天上是下着小雨，我们也无话可说，也只有踩着泥腻的山间土地一步一步的奋力的向上攀登。

终于到了太公、太婆和小爷爷的合墓前，我们所有所有的人都是肃然起敬，直立在他们的合墓前面。父亲递给我一根已经燃烧起来的香，香在不时的向外冒着烟，那香味是那么的浓重，让我一闻到这样子的香味，马上显示出一副沮丧，而又难过的样子。我们所有的人的手里都拿着香，一起为在“九泉之下”的太公、太婆和小爷爷鞠了一个九十度的躬，以表示我们对他们所有人的崇高的敬意。

我转身拿起早已准备好的花篮，恭恭敬敬地放在了太公、太婆和小爷爷的合墓前。花篮里的花都是白色的，在花篮上还有几根白色的带子死死的捆在了花和花篮上。在几片绿叶的衬托下，更加显得庄重，而又肃穆了。

我们拜完了之后，就开始给在”九泉之下”的太公、太婆和小爷爷烧在阴间的钞票，父亲知道他们很会玩麻将，就多烧了一些给他们，有一亿的，有两亿的，有一百万的大钞票，还跟他们说：“人人都有不要抢。”我一听还好玩，他们有这么多钱一年也花不完，还用抢什么呢?

太公、太婆和小爷爷你们“走”的那么的早，我都没有好好的孝敬孝敬你们老人家，你们就离开了我的身边，在那，陪伴你们的只有孤独和寂寞，不……不……不……还有那“无情”的春、夏、秋、冬和绿树繁茂的山林。要是你们还在我一定会好好孝敬你们的

在走的时候，我们又再次向他们拜了一拜，才依依不舍地离去。
