I like to see movie so much. When I have time, the first thing I’d like to do is to find the hot movies and then buy some snacks, enjoying my movie hour. After appreciating so many movies, The Lord of the Rings impresses me the most. This movie has three series and I like them all. Though the moive was made in about 2000, its technology is still not out of date. In the movie, the scenery is such beautiful that I can’t move my eyes away. It was shot in New Zealand and I have made up my mind that I must go there someday and have a look at the beautiful scenery. The movie shows me a scientific world with all kinds of creatures. The wizards, the hobbies, the elves, the orcs and so on. It broadens my vision.

我很喜欢看电影。我有时间的时候，我想做的第一件事就是找一些热门电影，然后买些零食来享受我的电影时光。在欣赏了那么多电影后,《魔戒》让我印象最深刻。这部电影有三个系列，每个系列我都喜欢。虽然这部电影大约在2000年拍摄，但是其技术却不过时。在电影中，景色是如此美丽，我都无法转移目光。那是在新西兰拍摄的。我已经下定决心，一定要去那里看一看那美丽的风景。这部电影给我展示了一个科幻世界，那里有各种各样的生物。巫师，霍比特人，半兽人，精灵等等。开阔了我的视野。

Going to high school is my first time to leave home. I have to live in school from Monday to Friday. I like to stay away from my parents for some time, because I can make my own choice and be free to go anywhere. My friends and I like to spend the weekend in the countryside that near the city we live. It is the short travel that I can not only appreciate the beautiful scenery, but also learn to be independent. The things that nature teaches me are a lot. I can see from the color of the cloud to predict the weather and the sound of of animals have different meanings. All of these are hard to know from the books. I have my own thinking from these trips, and the way to take care of myself helps me to grow up.

上高中是我第一次离开家,我必须住在学校，从星期一到星期五。我喜欢离开父母一段时间,因为我可以自己做决定,随便去任何地方。我的朋友们和我喜欢在我们生活的城市附近的乡镇去度过周末。短暂的旅行,我不仅可以欣赏美丽的风景,同时也学会独立。自然教会我很多的东西。我能从云的颜色来预测天气和动物的声音有不同的含义。这些都是很难从书本学到。从这些旅行中,我有了自己的思考方式，也学会了照顾自己，这让我成长。

To be successful, students learn many knowledge so as to master as more skills as possible. Some believe that the key to realize our dreams is to work hard and others treat chance in the first place. While today is the information world, the one who masters the all-sided source will have more chances to be successful. In my opinion, the most important skill is the social skill, because we need to make connection with others, we are not doing business with ourselves, so it is in need of having relationship with others. The good social skill can help us attract attention easily and impress the future partner. If we are bad in communicating, how can we let others know our advantages and trust us. So promoting ourselves is the first job, from now on, don’t be shy.

为了成功,学生学习很多知识这样就尽可能掌握更多的技能。一些人认为实现我们梦想的关键是努力工作和其他把机会放在第一位。而今天是信息世界,那些掌握全面信息的人有更多的机会获得成功。在我看来,最重要的技能是社会技能,因为我们需要与他人进行联系,我们不是和自己做生意,所以需要与他人打好关系。良好的社会技能可以帮助我们轻易吸引注意力和打动未来的合作伙伴。如果我们沟通不好,我们怎么能让别人知道我们的优势,并且相信我们。所以推广自己是第一份工作,从现在开始,不要害羞。

The Old CatAn old woman had a cat. The cat was very old; she could not run quickly, and she could not bite, because she was so old. One day the old cat saw a mouse; she jumped and caught the mouse. But she could not bite it; so the mouse got out of her mouth and ran away, because the cat could not bite it.Then the old woman became very angry because the cat had not killed the mouse. She began to hit the cat. The cat said, "Do not hit your old servant. I have worked for you for many years, and I would work for you still, but I am too old. Do not be unkind to the old, but remember what good work the old did when they were young."【译文】老猫一位老妇有只猫，这只猫很老，它跑不快了，也咬不了东西，因为它年纪太大了。一天，老猫发现一只老鼠，它跳过去抓这只老鼠，然而，它咬不住这只老鼠。因此，老鼠从它的嘴边溜掉了，因为老猫咬不了它。于是，老妇很生气，因为老猫没有把老鼠咬死。她开始打这只猫，猫说：“不要打你的老仆人，我已经为你服务了很多年，而且还愿意为你效劳，但是，我实在太老了，对年纪大的不要这么无情，要记住老年人在年青时所做过的有益的事情

Covering an area of approximately 1,890 square kilometers, it has a population of 8.8 million, making it the second most populous prefecture after Tokyo. Furthermore, approximately 210,000 foreigners, or 15.6% of all foreigners registered in Japan reside in Osaka. Geographically Osaka extends from north to south, with a slight curve, open toward Osaka Bay on the west and surrounded by mountains on the other three sides. The weather is generally mild, with four distinct seasons. The annual average temperature is 61.3F, and average precipitation is 1,318mm. 大阪位于在日本的近似中心。报道面积的大约1,890 平方公里, 它有人口8.8 百万, 做它次要个人口众多的专区在东京以后。此外, 大约210,000 个外国人, 或15.6% 所有外国人登记在日本居住在大阪。大阪延伸从北到南, 与轻微的曲线, 地理上打开往大阪海湾在西部和由山围拢在其它三边。天气一般是温和的, 以四个分明季节。每年平均温度是61.3F, 并且平均降雨雪是1,318mm 。 5Love Your Life 热爱生活However mean your life is,meet it and live it ;do not shun it and call it hard names.It is not so bad as you are.It looks poorest when you are richest.The fault-finder will find faults in paradise.Love your life,poor as it is.You may perhaps have some pleasant,thrilling,glorious hourss,even in a poor-house.The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the alms-house as brightly as from the rich man's abode;the snow melts before its door as early in the spring.I do not see but a quiet mind may live as contentedly there,and have as cheering thoughts,as in a palace.The town's poor seem to me often to live the most independent lives of any.May be they are simply great enough to receive without misgiving.Most think that they are above being supported by the town;but it often happens that they are not above supporting themselves by dishonest means.which should be more disreputable.Cultivate poverty like a garden herb,like sage.Do not trouble yourself much to get new things,whether clothes or friends,Turn the old,return to them.Things do not change;we change.Sell your clothes and keep your thoughts.不论你的生活如何卑贱，你要面对它生活，不要躲避它，更别用恶言咒骂它。它不像你那样坏。你最富有的时候，倒是看似最穷。爱找缺点的人就是到天堂里也能找到缺点。你要爱你的生活，尽管它贫穷。甚至在一个济贫院里，你也还有愉快、高兴、光荣的时候。夕阳反射在济贫院的窗上，像身在富户人家窗上一样光亮；在那门前，积雪同在早春融化。我只看到，一个从容的人，在哪里也像在皇宫中一样，生活得心满意足而富有愉快的思想。城镇中的穷人，我看，倒往往是过着最独立不羁的生活。也许因为他们很伟大，所以受之无愧。大多数人以为他们是超然的，不靠城镇来支援他们；可是事实上他们是往往利用了不正当的手段来对付生活，他们是毫不超脱的，毋宁是不体面的。视贫穷如园中之花而像圣人一样耕植它吧！不要找新的花样，无论是新的朋友或新的衣服，来麻烦你自己。找旧的，回到那里去。万物不变，是我们在变。你的衣服可以卖掉，但要保留你的思想。6Liuxiang(刘翔）-the flying man in the world!

If we had realized, we would have done it differently.译文：想象一下你就是这个木匠，想象你正在建造这座房子，你每天钉进一颗钉子、安装一块板子或者筑起一面墙。请用心对待吧，这是唯一一个你为自己打造的生活。即使你只在里面住上一天，这一天也要活得有光彩、有尊严。正如格言所说，“生活是一个只有靠自己才能完成的项目。”5、Time is like a river, the left bank is unable to forget the memories, right is worth grasp the youth, the middle of the fast flowing, is the sad young faint.

Some people think that when one has the successful career or does something that makes contribution to the society is the happiness. It is common that great acts are admired by the public and people are easy to feel the happiness. While in my opinion, happiness is very easy to achieve.

Happiness is around everywhere, we can feel it if we treat it right.译文：人们总是混淆幸福的含义，他们不知道如何定义幸福。有些人认为，当一个人有了成功的事业或做了对社会有所贡献的事情时，那就是幸福。人们很欣赏伟大的行为，人们很容易感到幸福。在我看来，幸福是很容易实现的。当我和家人在一起时，我们的谈话很愉快，我感到非常高兴。当我吃妈妈做的美味的食物时，我感到很开心。幸福无处不在，只要我们善待它，我们就能感受到幸福。7、When I am making mistakes, my parents will never be angry with me. I am so thankful to them for they are so tolerant with me. I learn many things from my parents, they show me how to be a tolerant person.

Unlike some parents who are strict to their kids, they will be very angry and said the hurting words, making the children feel sad. Being tolerant to other people’s mistakes is the best way to solve the problem. People will appreciate the kind act and make things goes on the easy way.译文：当我犯错误的时候，我的父母永远不会生我的气。我非常感谢他们，因为他们对我很宽容。我从父母那里学到很多东西，他们教我如何成为一个宽容的人。他们不会因为我犯的一个小错误而责备我，相反，他们会以温和的方式教育我。不像一些对孩子要求严格的父母，他们会很生气，说那些伤人的话，让孩子们感到悲伤。宽容别人的错误是解决问题的最好办法。人们会欣赏这种善举，让事情变得简单。8、Sometimes you dream to be a kind of happiness, sometimes the dream is also a kind of happiness; sometimes is a kind of happiness, sometimes the loss is also a kind of happiness;sometimes success is a kind of happiness, sometimes failure is also a kind of happiness.
