The product iPhone takes the lead in smart phone market all the time. The great CEO Steve Jobs is known by the world. Though he has passed away for some time, people still think of him when they see the product. Steve Jobs once gave an inspiring speech in a top university. He told students to stay hungry and stay foolish, which now has become classic words. Hungry and foolish mean motivation to move on. Steve told us never to loss the passion to search the world. Once we stop thinking, we will lag behind and like a walking dead. An old lady picked up her dance when she was nearly 70. She finally found her joy at the old age.

【我的目标 My Aim】
As my second year of high school life has come, I feel a little stressful, because I want to enter a better college, but my score worries me. I have made up my mind to make great progress on my study. Firstly, I need to improve my weak subjects. Geography and math are always my weakness, so I decide to go over the important knowledge and ask help from my classmates. My good friend is very patient, and she explain the details to me. With her help, I will make progress. Secondly, every time when the exam paper handed down, I will scan my mistakes and figured out how to make it right. Though I always feel frustrated, I will tell myself to stick on. Finally, I will make it and see hope. Every aim I made completes me and makes me stronger.
由于高二的生活要来临了，我有点紧张，因为我想进入更好的大学，但是我的分数让我担忧。我下定决心要在学习方面要取得更大进展。首先，我需要提高我的薄弱科目。地理和数学一直是我的弱点，所以我决定温习重要知识点，向我的同学寻求帮助。我的好朋友很耐心，她会给我详细解释，在她的帮助下，我会取得进步的。第二，每次试卷发下来，我都会看看我的错误，找出正确的方法。虽然我总是没信心，但我告诉自己要坚持，最后，我肯定会成功的，会看到希望的。每一个目标都让我变得更加完整，变得更强。
【感谢父母的爱 Be Grateful to Our Parents】
Last week our music teacher taught us a song, named Indebted Heart. Through it I know that we should live with a thankful heart. At that time, I think of my parents. I think they are the first people I should thank. It’s them who give me life. It’s them who give me home. It’s them who bring me up. It’s them who look after me. It’s them who teach me knowledge and live happily. I should thank my parents giving me so much. Maybe I should think how to pay back the love my parents give me. But now I think the best way to be appreciated of my parents is to study well and then being a useful person to the society when I grow up.
上周我们的音乐老师教了我们一首歌，叫感恩的心。通过这首歌我知道我们应该怀着一颗感恩的心去生活。在那时，我想起了我的父母。我认为他们是我最应该感谢的人。是他们给了我生命。是他们给我一个家。是他们抚养我长大。是他们在照顾我。是他们教给我知识，给了我幸福快乐的生活。我要感谢我的父母给了我这么多。也许我应该考虑如何回报父母给我的一切。但现在我觉得感谢我父母的的方法就是好好学习，长大后做一个对社会有用的人。

【电脑游戏之我见 My View on Playing Computer Games】
As the development of our society, computer has become an necessity of general families. We students also have more chances to play it or use it in our study.However, everything has two sides. Many students are addicted to computer games and spend all their time in playing. Some of them even fail in their study.Therefore, some people argue that playing computer games in harmful to students and it should be prohibited strictly. From my point of view, spend some time in computer games will not do harm to us. Firstly, it won’t cost us much time, so our study and rest will not be influenced. Secondly, all work and no play make Jack a dull boy. Although we are busy in our study, it doesn’t mean that we can’t play at all. Some games may be good to us to some extent. I think the one thing we should concern is that we should control ourselves properly. That is to say we can’t play games all the day. We must keep in mind that games are just for pastime and our priority is study.
随着社会的发展，电脑已经成为了普通家庭的必需品，学生也有了更多使用电脑的机会或者用在学习中。但是，同时它也是一把双刃剑。许多学生沉迷电脑游戏，把所有时间都放在电脑游戏上，有的甚至严重影响了自己的学习。于是，有的人说电脑游戏对学生有害，应该严厉禁止。我的观点是，适当地玩一些游戏不会对我们学生造成影响。首先，它并不会占用我们很多时间，我们的学习和休息不会受到影响。其次，只会用功不玩耍，聪明孩子也变傻。虽然我们忙于学习，但那并不意味着我们一点玩乐的时间都没有。在一定程度上来说，适当地玩些游戏是有好处的。我们只要控制好自己，控制好游戏的时间，别把时间都放在游戏上，记住电脑游戏只是消遣，学习还是我们的当务之急，那就没什么好担心的了。

【春节的习俗】
The Chinese New Year is now popularly known as the Spring Festival because it starts from the Begining of Spring (the first of the twenty-four terms in coordination with the changes of Nature). Its origin is too old to be traced. Several explanations are hanging around. All agree however that the word Nian which in modern Chinese solely means "year" was originally the name of a monster beast that started to prey on people the night before the beginning of a new year.
One legend goes that the beast Nian had a very big mouth that would swallow a great many people with one bite. People were very scared. One day an old man came to their rescue offering to subdue Nian. To Nian he said "I hear say that you are very capable but can you swallow the other beasts of prey on earth instead of people who are by no means of your worthy opponents?" So it did swallow many of the beasts of prey on earth that also harassed people and their domestic animals from time to time.
After that the old man disappeared riding the beast Nian. He turned out to be an immortal god. Now that Nian is gone and other beasts of prey are also scared into forests people begin to enjoy their peaceful life. Before the old man left he had told people to put up red paper decorations on their windows and doors at each year's end to scare away Nian in case it sneaked back again because red is the color the beast feared the most.
From then on the tradition of observing the conquest of Nian is carried on from generation to generation. The term "Guo Nian" which may mean "Survive the Nian" becomes today "Celebrate the (New) Year" as the word "guo" in Chinese having both the meaning of "pass-over" and "observe". The custom of putting up red paper and firing fire-crackers to scare away Nian should it have a chance to run loose is still around. However people today have long forgotten why they are doing all this except that they feel the color and the sound add to the excitement of the celebratio.
Today is the National Day.It is our country's birthday.Now she is 56.I am very happy.
Today in the afternoon . I go to the park. people all look so happy. Someone is doing exercise,someone is singing the nation song .A little girl came to me and said to me ,happy National Day.I know she loves the country,but I love her ,too. Today is a happy day.
【放下手机 Put Down Smart Phone】
With the development of technology, today we live in the world with high technology. People seem to can't live without computer and smart phone, once they don't have smart phone at hand for a while, the seem to be lost and feel something miss in their life. When I talk to my friends at table, I find them always play smart phones or check on the text all the time. Though we sit face to face, the distance between us is so far. The high technology brings isolation between people. Some people don't often visit their parents and friends, for they believe that a call can solve all the things. Communication in face to face is far more important than a call. It is time for some people to put down their smart phones for a while when they are communicating to others.
随着技术的发展,今天我们生活在一个高技术的时代。似乎人们的生活离不开电脑和智能手机,一旦智能手机不在手上,他们似乎感到失落,感觉到有东西缺失在他们的生活中。当我和朋友们吃饭时 ,我发现他们总是在玩智能手机，或者在检查信息。虽然我们面对面坐着,但是我们之间的距离是如此的遥远。高科技带给人们带来了隔离。有些人不经常看望他们的父母和朋友,因为他们相信一个电话能解决所有的事情。面对面的交流比电话更重要。是时候对一些人来说去放下手中的智能手机一会，当他们在和别人交流的时候。
【不要嘲笑别人的梦想 Don't Laugh at Someone Else' Dreams】
Recently, I saw an impressive story. A girl from America was laughed by her classmates, because she had a model dream. They told her that she was fat and looked homely, so it was impossible for her to be a model. The girl gave up going to school but she chose to study at home. She continued her passion for fashion, now she became a fashion blogger, and her followers were more than one million. What an inspiring story. Look at those people who laughed at her dream. They should be shameful on themselves. We should not laugh at someone else's dream, no matter what kind of dreams they have. It is their motivation to move on and make progress. Most of them become somebody in the future if they insist on. The world becomes beautiful if we give support to each other.
最近，我看到一个令人印象深刻的故事。一个来自美国的女孩被同学嘲笑，因为她的梦想是当模特。他们告诉她，她很胖，而且看起来很平凡，所以这对她来说是不可能成为一名模特的。这个女孩放弃了上学，但她选择在家学习，也没有放弃对时尚的热情，现在她成为时尚博主，她的粉丝超过了一百万人。多么鼓舞人心的故事啊，看看那些嘲笑她梦想的人，他们应该感到羞耻。我们不应该嘲笑别人的梦想，无论他们的梦想是什么。这是他们前进和取得进步的动力。如果他们坚持的话，他们中的大多数人将来会成为有出息的人。如果我们相互支持世界会变得美好。
【信用的重要性 The Importance of Credit】
Nowadays, with the development of Internet, more and more business are done through the Internet. The most important factor that decides a person's success is the credit. There is a famous example explains how credit influences one's life. A man took a train in Europe, as there was no one to supervise him, so he thought he could not buy the ticket and ran to the train directly. Later, when the man wanted to interview a job, the employers refused him because they told the man that his credit did not reach their standard. The man realized that he had lost his credit for not buying the ticket for one time, which taught him a lesson to keep his credit. The credit helps us to make friends and cooperate with others well. Don't lose your credit, or you will lose many chances.
如今，随着互联网的发展，越来越多的业务可以通过互联网来完成。决定一个人是否能成功的最重要因素是信用。有一个很出名的例子解释了信用是如何影响人的一生。一名男子在欧洲坐火车，因为没有人监督，所以他觉得可以不买票，直接朝火车跑去。之后，当这个男子在面试一份工作时，雇主拒绝了他，并告诉这名男子原因是他的信用没有达到他们的标准。男子意识到由于他之前那次没买票他已经失去了信用，这给了他一个教训，要守信用。信用帮助我们交朋友、与其他人顺利合作。不要失去你的信用，否则你会失去很多机会。
