Water is used in homes, in farming, and in manufacturing. The water used by the people comes from oceans, lakes, rivers, and streams. Many water sources are becoming polluted.

People are throwing things into the water. Factories are dumping waste materials into the water. Cities are dumping sewage into the water. Some water sources have become so badly polluted that the water cannot be made fit to use.

Would you like to drink water that came from a source that had been so badly mistreatedNow is the time that we should take up our responsibility to protect our environment from being polluted.

In the Warring States Period, a man in the state of Chu was offering a sacrifice(祭品) to his ancestors. After the ceremony, the man gave a beaker of wine to his servants.

The servants thought that there was not enought wine for all of them, and decided to each draw a picture of snake; the one who finished the picture first would get the wine.

One of them drew very rapidly. Seeing that the others were still busy drawing, he added feet to the snake.

At this moment, another man finished, snatched the beaker(烧杯，大口杯) and drank the wine, saying,"A snake doesnt have feet. How can you add feet to a snake?"

This idiom refers to ruining a venture by doing unnecessary and surplus things.

China Life Dong HongXia to January 2013

What is happiness? If someone has a lot of money, does he really be happy? The two questions point out the relation about money and happiness. Today, people treat money the first place in their life, they work hard for making money, because without money, one can’t do a lot of things, indeed, we need money. When people get married, the first thing they do is to get enough money to buy a house, money seems everything. While on my opinion, money can’t buy happiness, I see some guys who are not rich, but they live in a free way, they move everywhere they want, they feel happy. So happiness is from someone’s heart, it is nothing to do with money.

today is december 1st. oh, it’s my birthday! i’m so happy. so i get up very early. i wear my nice coat. mom says, “you’re so cute.” i say, “thank you.” in the evening, grandpa gives me a book. dad gives me a big cake. we eat cake and drink milk. my pet dog, winnie is eating cake, too. my family says, “happy birthday to you!” today i’m so happy.

今年的父亲节，我终于深深地感觉到了不在爸妈身边，我会有多么想念他们，感觉就像过了好几年那么长，估计是我太想他们了吧。你们想我了没有啊?

转眼间，我就长大了，时间真是好快啊。也正是因为这样，有时候我就会想起小时候的事。

This years fathers day, I finally feel that Im not around my parents,

how much I miss them. Its like several years. I guess I miss them too much. Do

you miss me? In a flash, I grow up. Time is really fast. Because of this,

sometimes I think of my childhood.

还记得小时候你骑着自行车带着我在快车道上飞奔，只为了怕我上学迟到，追我要坐的公车;还记得我忘了带作业，你怕老师训我，不管多忙，天气多不好，你都会来学校给我送;还记得，小学的时候，老师说你是模范家长;还记得我生病肚子疼，大半夜哭着叫你帮我揉肚子，你也会困得睡着，但马上又会清醒继续帮我揉，就这样一直到天亮;还记得小时候，每次洗澡我躺在浴盆里，你都会帮我搓澡;还记得，我的脏衣服满地乱扔的时候，你会默默地把地上的衣服捡走，帮我洗干净;还记得小时候你为了送我去学琴，大冬天骑着摩托车，把腿都吹坏了，现在还经常会疼;还记得你为了工作，经常东奔西跑，忙得头发都变白了;还记得你每天早上都最早起来为我和妈妈买饭，让我和妈妈醒来总会看到桌子上摆着各式各样的早餐;还记得在我为了上学难过的时候你总会说：“没事儿，还有爸爸呢!”

I still remember when I was a child, you took me on a bicycle and galloped

in the fast lane just for fear that I would be late for school to catch the bus

I wanted to take; you also remembered that I forgot to take my homework, you

were afraid that the teacher would scold me, no matter how busy or how bad the

weather was, you would come to the school to send it to me; you also remembered

that in primary school, the teacher said you were a model parent; Remember that

when I was sick and had stomachache, I cried to ask you to knead my belly for me

in the middle of the night, and you would be sleepy to sleep, but you would

immediately wake up and continue to knead for me until dawn; remember that when

I was a child, every time I was lying in the bathtub, you would help me to rub

the bath; remember that when my dirty clothes were thrown around, you would

silently pick up the clothes on the ground and clean them for me; I still

remember when you were a kid, you blew my legs in order to send me to learn the

piano, and you often hurt in the winter when riding a motorcycle. I still

remember that you often ran around for work, and your hair turned white. I still

remember that you got up at the earliest time every morning to buy food for my

mother and me, so that my mother and I would wake up and see all kinds of

breakfast on the table; I remember when I was sad for school, you always said,

"its OK, and Dad!"

Dear Ms. Fu,

亲爱的付老师，

I would like you to know that I appreciate the help and support you gave to

me when I was in junior high school. I enjoyed being taught by you immensely.

You are an excellent teacher and inspired me to continue learning with an open

and positive mind.

我想让您知道我非常感激在我上初中的时候你给予的帮助和支持。我非常喜欢你做我的老师。你是一个优秀的教师，鼓励我以开放和积极的态度继续学习。

I would like to convey my heartfelt gratitude to you for teaching me what

is responsibility. You helped me how to find the best place for myself and look

for the personal values. I remember you gave me a book as a present of the

Spring Festival. You are the first teacher who gave me a present which I was

moved for a long time.

我衷心的感谢你教会了我什么是责任。你帮我找到最适合自己的位置并和个人价值。我记得你曾给我一本书作为春节的礼物。你是第一个给我礼物的老师，这让我感动了很久。

I would further say that you gave me so good memories that I wish I could

go back to that time again. It was you who encouraged me to overcome obstacles.

It was you who cared about my emotions. I appreciate all you have done for me,

which meant so much to me. I hope that this letter brings my best wishes to you

and I once again thank you for giving me those precious memories of my life,

which I shall cherish forever.

我还想说你给了我这么美好的回忆，我希望我能再次回到那个时候。是你鼓励我克服困难。是你关心我的情绪。我很感激你为我所做的一切，这对我来说是很重要的。我希望这封信能给你带去我最好的祝福，我再次感谢你给我的生活带来那些珍贵的回忆，我会永远珍惜它的。

Sincerely yours,

A Happy Family幸福的家庭

I have a happy family. Though there is only a little furniture in my home and everything in the rooms seems rather disorderly, I love my home very much.

My father is an engineer, nearly fifty years old. As a Party member, quite often he works late into the night. He even forgets himself when he is reading. Once when having supper, I found that the soup tasted watery. It soon became clear that my father, deep in his reading, had forgotten to put salt in the soup.

I have a kind mother. She is a primary school teacher. She loves her pupils and her job very much and puts all her heart into her work. All our clothes are made by tailors, for she is too busy to sew for us. As a housewife, she has to do almost all the housework. So she is the busiest one in our family.

We all keep a lot of books and we love reading. During our leisure time, reading is our main hobby. Evening is the happiest hour in our family. We usually sit in my parents room, reading and discussing everything were interested in.

I love my family. It not only gives me much happiness and warmth but also teaches me how to be a real man.

我有一个幸福的家庭。尽管家里只有很少几件家具而且房内显得有些零乱，但我却很爱我家。

爸爸是一位工程师，年龄将近50岁。作为·党员；他常常工作到深夜，在读书时他甚至能把自己忘了。曾经有一次吃晚饭时，我觉得汤淡得没味。很快真相大白，原来是爸爸埋头于读书而忘了加盐。

我妈妈很和蔼可亲。她是一名小学老师。她很喜欢她的学生和她的工作，把全部心血投入到了工作中。我们的衣服都是由裁缝做的，她因为太忙而．没时间给我们缝制。作为家庭主妇，她几乎做了全部家务。所以她是全家最忙的人。

我家有很多藏书，我们很喜欢读书。闲暇时间，读书便是我们的最大爱好。晚上是我们家最幸福的时光。我们通常坐在父母的房间里读书、讨论我们感兴趣的问题。

我爱我家，它不仅给我快乐、温暖，而且教我做人。

Chinese New Year or Spring Festival  the most important of the traditional Chinese holidays. It  sometimes called the "Lunar New Year" by Englh speakers. The festival traditionally begins on the first day of the first month (Chinese: 正月; pinyin: zhēng yuè) in the Chinese calendar and ends on the 15th; th day  called Lantern Festival. Chinese New Years Eve  known as chú xī. It literally means "Year-pass Eve".

Chinese New Year  the longest and most important festivity in the Lunar Calendar. The origin of Chinese New Year  itself centuries old and gains significance because of several myths and traditions. Ancient Chinese New Year  a reflection on how the people behaved and what they believed in the most.

Celebrated in areas with large populations of ethnic Chinese, Chinese New Year  considered a major holiday for the Chinese and has had influence on the new year celebrations of its geographic neighbors, as well as cultures with whom the Chinese have had extensive interaction. These include Koreans (Seollal), Tibetans and Bhutanese (Losar), Mongolians (Tsagaan Sar), Vietnamese (Tt), and formerly the Japanese before 1873 (Oshogatsu). Outside of Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan, Chinese New Year  also celebrated in countries with significant Han Chinese populations, such as Singapore, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Thailand. In countries such as Australia, Canada and the United States, although Chinese New Year  not an official holiday, many ethnic Chinese hold large celebrations and Australia Post, Canada Post, and the US Postal Service sues New Years themed stamps.

Within China, regional customs and traditions concerning the celebration of the Chinese new year vary widely. People will pour out their money to buy presents, decoration, material, food, and clothing. It  also the tradition that every family thoroughly cleans the house to sweep away any ill-fortune in hopes to make way for good incoming luck. Windows and doors will be decorated with red colour paper-cuts and couplets with popular themes of “happiness”, “wealth”, and “longevity”. On the Eve of Chinese New Year, supper  a feast with families. Food will include such items as pigs, ducks, chicken and sweet delicacies. The family will end the night with firecrackers. Early the next morning, children will greet their parents by whing them a healthy and happy new year, and receive money in red paper envelopes. The Chinese New Year tradition  a great way to reconcile forgetting all grudges, and sincerely wh peace and happiness for everyone.

Although the Chinese calendar traditionally does not use continuously numbered years, outside China its years are often numbered from the reign of Huangdi. But at least three different years numbered 1 are now used by various scholars, making the year 2009 "Chinese Year" 4707, 4706, or 4646.

Christmas arouses increasing attention year by year in China. Christmas cards become popular with students. People hold Christmas parties and exchange Christmas girts. A lot or TV and radio programs about Christmas are on. Meanwhile the Spring Festival is less appealing （有吸引力的）to youngsters. Thus some people wonder whether Christmas will replace the Spring Festival.

This worry is fairly unnecessary. Why ？One reason lies that Christmas only affects Christians，college students and joint-venture （合资企业）workers. Another reason is that Christmas is mostly celebrated in cities. Few people in countryside show extreme interest in this exotic（带有异国情调的）festival. By contrast，the Spring Festival is the most influential traditional festival in every family.

I think，it is natural that with increasing exchanges with the West，a lot of Western holidays have been gradually introduced into China. For us Chinese we should never neglect or even discard our own traditional festivals. For centuries Chinese have observed this traditional holiday to welcome the beginning of a new year. And we will treasure the Spring Festival forever.

I have a small but comfortable and tidy bedroom.

There are a single bed, a desk, a chair and a beoksheff in my bedroom. The bookshelf is near the window. I put all the books I love best and some classical music CDs on it. On the west wall there hangs a violin. It is my favorite.

I usually play it to enjoy myself at my spare time.

I have a lovely dog. Its name is YoYo. I like it very much. It has two big ears， two big and bright eyes. Its hair is brown. It has come to my home for a year. It has become a part of my family. It has its own house， but it likes to sleep under my bed， play in my house. I like talking to it， because its a friend worth of trusting. I would like to share my happy things with it. When I am sad， talking to it makes me feel good. I am happy to have such a lovely friend.

我有一只可爱的小狗，它的名字叫悠悠，我很喜欢它.它有两只大耳朵，两只明亮的大眼睛.它的毛是棕色的.它来我家已经有一年了.它成为了我家的一部分.它有自己的房子，但是它喜欢睡在我的床底下，在我的房间玩.我很喜欢和它聊天，因为我觉得它是一个值得信赖的朋友.我喜欢和它分享开心的事.当我难过的时候，和它聊天使我感觉舒服.我很高兴有这样一个可爱的朋友.

The Hero in My Heart

When people say the word "hero", what will you think? Do you have a hero in your heart? Maybe your hero is a famous singer, a movie star or a great-man. But my hero is around me, who gives me more love than others. She is my mother, the hero in my heart. My mother isnt great in the way of a famous singer or a movie star. She does nothing big, but what she does make others inferior. From her, I learn a lot.

When I was a baby, she taught me how to walk and how to speak. When I go to school, she helps me solve many problems. She also tells me be kind to others. When I do badly in study, she encourages me and tries to cheer me up. My mother is a teacher, and she is always busy with her work. When she corrects students homework, she is always very serious. My mother is responsible to all of her students. She cares much about students study and life, and she tries her best to help students in need.

My mother is a loving mother, a qualified teacher, and a real hero in my heart.
