by the time john pulled into the little town, every hotel room was taken. "you've got to have a room somewhere." he pleaded. "or just a bed--i don't care where."
"well, i do have a double room with one occupant," admitted the manager," and he might be glad to split the cost. but to tell you the truth, he snores so loudly that people in adjoining rooms have complained in the past. i'm not sure it'd be worth it to you."
"no problem," the tired traveler assured him. "i'll take it."
the next morning, john came down to breakfast bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. when asked about how he slept, he replied, "never better."
the manager was impressed. "no problem with the other guy snoring, then?"
"nope. i shut him up in no time."
"how'd you manage that?"
"he was already in bed, snoring away, when i came in the room," john said. "i went over, gave him a kion the cheek, said, 'goodnight, beautiful.' with that he sat up all night watching me."
but then we hit the 20th century and we entered a new culture that historians call the culture of personality. what happened is we had evolved an agricultural economy to a world of big business. and so suddenly people are moving from small towns to the cities. and instead of working alongside people they've known all their lives, now they are having to prove themselves in a crowd of strangers. so, quite understandably, qualities like magnetism and charisma suddenly come to seem really important. and sure enough, the self-help books change to meet these new needs and they start to have names like “how to win friends and influence people.“ and they feature as their role models really great salesmen. so that's the world we're living in today. that's our cultural inheritance.
now none of this is to say that social skills are unimportant, and i'm also not calling for the abolishing of teamwork at all. the same religions who send their sages off to lonely mountain tops also teach us love and trust. and the problems that we are facing today in fields like science and in economics are so vast and so complex that we are going to need armies of people coming together to solve them working together. but i am saying that the more freedom that we give introverts to be themselves, the more likely that they are to come up with their own unique solutions to these problems.
I am so excited now, because I will go travel with friends. We plan to goto visit Guangzhou, for it is very near our place. This is the first time for usto go travel together, we want to make sure everything goes on well and savemore time to play, so we make some arrangements. The first thing is aboutsearching the route. Going to the strange place, we will have no idea about theroad, so we need to figure out the main roads, in case that we will be lost.Second, we also search the famous sites. Guangzhou is such a big place, we can’tgo to every concern in the short time, but we can visit the hot sites and get toknow something about this place. I believe that this trip will be fun, becausewe are so free and can enjoy the new scenery.
我现在很兴奋，因为我将要和朋友们去旅游。我们计划去广州，因为那离我们的地方很近。这是我们第一次一起去旅游，我们想要确保一切都能进展得比较顺利，节省下更多的时间来玩，所以我们做了一些安排。第一件事情就是搜索路线。去到陌生的地方，我们会不了解路线，因此需要弄清楚主要的路，以防我们会迷路。第二，我们也搜索了著名的景点。广州是一个很大的地方，我们无法在短时间内走遍每一个角落，但是我们可以拜访热门的景点，对广州进行了解。我相信这次的旅程会很有趣，因为我们是那么的自由，可以欣赏新风景。
Ladies and Gentlemen, Good afternoon!
I’m very glad to stand here andgive you a short speech. today my topic is “Life”. I hope you will like it , Man’s life is a process of growing up, actually I’m standing here is a growth. If a person’s life must constituted by various choices, then I grow up along with these choices.
Once I hope I can study in a college in future, however that’s passed, as you know I come here, now I wonder what the future holds for (= what will happen to) me. When I come to this school, I told to myself: this my near future, all starts here. Following I will learn to become a man, a integrated man, who has a fine body, can take on important task, has independent thought, an open mind, intensive thought, has the ability to judge right and wrong, has a perfect job.
Once my teacher said :” you are not sewing, you are stylist; never forget which you should lay out to people is your thought, not craft.” I will put my personality with my interest and ability into my study, during these process I will combine learning with doing.
If I can achieve this “future”, I think that I really grow up. And I deeply believe kindred, good-fellowship and love will perfection and happy in the future. How to say future? Maybe it’s a nice wish. Lets make up our minds, stick to it and surely well enjoy our life.
Today, as the life standard has improved, people have more money to chaseamusement, travel is their first choice. So there are a lot of people on thejourney during the public vacation, some people even quit their jobs to do it.The trip without plan was favored by many people since a few years ago, it wasthe attitude towards life.
今天,随着生活水平的提高,人们有更多的钱去追逐娱乐，旅行是他们的第一选择。因此在公共假期期间，有很多人在旅途中,有些人甚至放弃自己的工作去旅游。说走就走的旅行在几年前就受到了欢迎,这是一种生活态度。
Though people are proud of taking the independent travel, especially whenthey just go anytime and anywhere, only a few people take action. Some day, as Ihad the long summer vacation, I suddenly had the idea that I could take a tripwithout plan. So I asked two of my friends to joined my team. We booked thetickets and and hotel, then the next day, we took the train. We talked andappreciated the scenery outside the window. When we arrived the city, we justwalked along the street and enjoyed the feature.
虽然人们为独立旅行而感受自豪,特别是当他们可以随时随地走,但是只有少数人采取行动。有一天,由于我有漫长的暑假,我突然有个主意,我可以来一场说走就走的旅行。所以我叫了两个朋友来加入我的团队。我们订了车票和酒店,然后第二天,乘火车走了。我们聊着天,欣赏着窗外的风景。当我们到达这个城市时,沿着街道走，享受这个城市的特色。
It was such great experience for me, sometimes we consider so many thingsand miss the joy of life. Taking a trip without burden and just go to any placeyou want once in your life.
这段经历对我来说是如此的美妙,有时候我们考虑太多,错过了生活中的快乐。来一场没有负担的旅行，去任何你曾经想去的地方。
today, as people live a better life, they chase for more enjoyment. we can see from the news that when the holiday comes, there are so many people gather in the scenery site. people like to travel today, they can take a plane, take the bus or even take a bike. on my opinion, the best way to travel is by train. first, it is very cheap. compare with other ways, such as plane and bus, train is less expensive, people can save a lot of money. besides, taking the train is much safer. people don’t have to worry about crush, which is more happen in the plane or bus. second, we can enjoy the scenery in the train. though the train is very slow, we can have a good sight of the beautiful scenery, when we go to tibet, we can see different colors and different mountains during the trip. taking the train is the best way to travel.
今天，随着人们过上更好的生活，人们追求更多的娱乐。我们可以从新闻上看到当节假日来临的时候，很多人聚集在景点。现在，人们喜欢旅游，他们可以坐飞机，坐巴士甚至骑单车。在我看来，最好的旅游方式是坐火车。第一，这很便宜。和其他方式，如飞机和巴士，坐火车便宜很多，人们可以省下很多钱。而且，做坐火车也更加安全。人们不用担心坠毁，这更多地发生在飞机和巴士上。第二，我们可以在火车上欣赏风景。虽然火车很慢，我们可以好好看看美丽的风景，当我们去西藏的时候，可以在旅途中看到不同的颜色和不同的大山。坐火车是最好的旅游方式。
everyone is attracted by beauty and beauty is powerful. but what is true beauty? perhaps you can get the answer from the following story.
this morning i went to the market to buy some vegetables with my parents. on the way we all highly praised a young man in western-style clothes and leather shoes who was riding by. but he rode so fast that he knocked an old lady down carelessly.instead of stopping, he pretended not to see this and rode away quickly. we were all very angry with the young man. to our happiness, a girl in plain dress ran forward at once, helped the lady up and took her home. we all praised the girl.
from this we know we cannot judge a person by his appearance. a person who is dressed beautifully may not have a beautiful soul. only a person who has a beautiful soul is really beautiful.
Everytime I am asked what I want to do in the future. I think a minute and say being a doctor is my dream job.
Doctor is an other kind of artist who does human art by fighting with diseases and making people feel good. I think it is a pleasure to try my best to bring happiness to others. It is a feeling of pride and I am fond of it. In modern life， a mass of people work day and night to seek wealth and as a result they ignore their health. It is known that strong body is a foundation of beatific life. I dreamed to be an excellent doctor who can help them have a right to enjoy life again. Curing people is a doctor's holy responsibility.
Being a doctor is my dream job， now I should study hard to gain more knowledge to reach my goal.
翻译：每次我问我将来想做什么。我想了一分钟，说是一个医生是我的梦想的工作。
医生是另一种艺术家，通过与疾病的斗争，使人们感觉良好，人类的艺术。我认为这是一种乐趣，尽我最大的努力给别人带来快乐。这是一种骄傲的感觉，我喜欢它。在现代生活中，大量的人为了追求财富而工作，因此他们忽视了他们的健康。它是已知的，强壮的身体是一种幸福的生活的基础。我梦想成为一个优秀的医生，可以帮助他们有权利享受生活。固化人是医生的神圣责任。
成为一名医生是我的梦想的工作，现在我应该努力学习，以获得更多的知识，以达到我的目标。
As we all know, communication is one of the most essential social skills that we need for our self development. Communicating with all understanding always contributes to a deep touch between peoples' heart. Today, I am going to talk about how to communicate with classmates.
To start with, you need to realize that your classmates are just in the same age of you. So be relaxed and nature. You are not too much smarter or outstanding than others and either are they! When you talk with them, remember to mention somMy favorite book is (Italian: Cuore). This is a diary written by an Italian boy Enrico. The diary is about his life and study. It included various touching stories that happened around Enrico, the mottos taught by his parents, as well as the wonderful ten "monthly" stories told by his teacher during the class. Every word in the chapter describes the word "love". From patriotism to friendship, and to the love between parents and child -- really touching.
This novel taught me how to love, and how to learn from love. I really like this book very much. How about you? What is your favorite book?
My favorite book is . Have you read it before?
Oh, I haven't read this book before. What is it about?
Well, it is a story of a rich girl who maintained her noble character after the bankruptcy of her father. The story is happy ending.
Can you tell us why you love this book so much?
Sure. It is because the story taught us to be brave and to face the challenges and difficulties with courage. I am deeply impressed by the strength and perseverance of the little princess in the story. I have decided to learn from her from now on.
Oh I see, the story sounds very good. I cannot wait to read this book as well.
There is a forest, where the trees flourish, the forest green grass,flowers ... ... animals are free to live with. Later, near the residents, theybegan to cut down trees, killing animals, the forest can be seen everywhere baretrees, many animals lost their homes, and even their loved ones.

One day, someone went to the forest to cut down the trees and killed theanimals. Had long been ambush animals rushed out, the "murderer" surrounded.This person scared to leave the hands of the tools, trembling, cold sweatstraight. One of the animals proposed to the "murderer" for public trial. So, aforest trial conference began.
Lamb first statement: "human greed to chaos to kill the killing, resultingin a large area of soil erosion, we sheep lost a good home and the survival ofthe grass ... ..." a bird said: "human chaos cut Let us homeless, human chaoskill let us lose loved ones ... ... "Tiger said angrily:" human deforestation sothat we have no place to live, their chaos kill us to become endangered Species... ... "the animals you a word I am in a way to count the heinous crimescommitted by mankind, the trial of this person feel shame and shame to ask:" howwill you deal with me?

"
The "murderer" was released, decided to repent their own behavior, andactively promote the concept of environmental protection, and activelyparticipate in various environmental activities. A few years later, this foresthas resumed the prosperity of the past, the animals have lived a free life.
Everytime I am asked what I want to do in the future. I think a minute and say being a doctor is my dream job.

people are like tea bags—you have to put them in hot water before you know how strong they are." i can still remember the words that dad said to me years ago.
when i came back from the usa, my friends asked me: “how do you feel about your staying there?” “wonderful” i said. “then why do you come back?” hearing this, i told them there were lots of beautiful countries in the world, but none of them can compare with our own country—china. how true the saying is: “there’s no place like home!”
i love you, china. as a young student, all we should do is to study hard and devote ourselves whole-heartedly in the future, to the great cause of building you into an even stronger and greater country in the world. i love you, my dear motherland! i love you, china! thank you for your listening !

翻译：人人都被美和美所吸引，是有力量的。但什么是真正的美?也许你可以从下面的故事得到答案。
今天早上我去市场买了一些蔬菜和我的父母。路上我们都高度赞扬了一名年轻男子西装革履的骑着。但是他骑得太快了，他不小心撞倒了一个老太太，而不是停止，他假装没有看到这个，很快就骑走了。我们都很生这个年轻人的气。为了我们的幸福，一个穿着朴素的女孩立刻跑上前，帮助那位女士走了过来，把她带回家了。我们都表扬了那个女孩。
从这个我们知道，我们不能判断一个人的外表。一个穿着漂亮的人可能没有一个美丽的灵魂。只有拥有一个美丽灵魂的人才是真正的美丽。
a man who lived in a block of apartments thought it was raining and put his head out the window to check. as he did so a glaeye fell into his hand.
he looked up to see where it came from in time to see a young woman looking down.
"is this yours?" he asked.
she said, "yes, could you bring it up?" and the man agreed.
on arrival she was profuse in her thanks and offered the man a drink. as she was very attractive he agreed. shortly afterwards she said, "i'm about to have dinner. there's plenty. would you like to join me?"
he readily accepted her offer and both enjoyed a lovely meal. as the evening was drawing to a close the lady said, "i've had a marvelous evening. would you like to stay the night?"
the man hesitated then said, "do you act like this with every man you meet?"
"no," she replied, "only those who catch my eye."
