the united states covers a large part of the north american continent。 its neighbours are canada to the north， and mexico to the south。
when this land first became a nation， after winning its independence from engand， it had thirteen states。 each of the states was represented of the american flag by a star。 all these states were in the eastern part of the continent。 as the nation grew toward the west， new states were added and new states appeared on the flag。 for a long time， there were 48 states。 in 1959， however， two more stars were added to the flag， representing the new states of alaska and hawaii。
indians were the first inhabitants of the land which is now the united states。 there are still many thousands of the descendants of these original inhabitants living in all parts of the country。 sometimes it is said that the indians are "the only real americans。"
most americans， however， are descendants of people who came from all over the world to find a new life in a new land。 those who came first and in greatest numbers to make their homes on the eastern coast of north america were mostly from england。 it is for that reason that the language of the united states is english and that its culture and customs are more like those of england than of any other country in the world。
美国占去北美大陆很大一部分土地。它北邻加拿大，南接墨西哥。
这片土地刚从英国独立出� 这些州都在东部。当这个国家不断向西扩大，就增加了新的州，同时它们也出现在国旗上。很长一段时间，美国有48个州，可是，到1959年，国旗上又多了两颗星，分别代表阿拉斯加和夏威夷。
印地安人是如今叫做美国的`这块土地上的最初居民。现在在全国各地仍然居住着许多这些原始居民的后裔。有时人们说印安人才是“真正的美国人”。
不过，大部分美国人是来自世界各地要在这个新世界里对找新生活的人的后代。那些最早大批来到北美东海岸建立家园的人大部来自英格兰，也是由于这个原因，美国的国语为英语，而它的文化习俗也与英国的更为相像。

There is a tendency among many young people that they work very hard in their studies before they enter universties. But once they are admitted to universities or colleges, they no longer show much interest in their studies.
The only purpose for a lot of students to go to university is to gei a diploma, which they think will mean success for them in the future. As a matter of fact, whats important for a student to study at a universty or college is not only to get a diploma, but also to receive higher education so as to be competent for the tasks that will be assgned to him.
Therefore those who tend to take things easy are advised to take serious attitude towards their studies at universities or colleges, otherwise they will have an unsuccessful career.

The students of our school have different ideas about if we would like to take part in the English summer camp.
Some agree while others don’t. Those who want to take part in the activity think they can relax themselves in the camp. Also they can improve English and make lots of friends. However, some of the students are not interested in English. They think it’s too long to stay away from home. Their parents won’t allow them to do so.
As for me, I don’t want to take part in the summer camp. I have to go to lots of lessons during summer holiday, so I have no time. Besides, I like to stay at home better.
She was taking a morning shower. The warm spray from the showerhead danced on her hair and foamed down her body. Steam came up and soon the bathroom was foggy. She closed her eyes, feeling the foams covering her body with thousand of kisses. In the sunbeams that streamed in through the only window, water drops glittered like morning dews. A cool wind rushed in. She looked out the window. Some leaves were falling. "It must be autumn!" She murmured to herself. She stood motionless. There was no sound except that of water gurgling down the drain.

Along with the rapid step of science development, men have got more and more achievements. Especially in biological field, scientists are creating miracles every minute. In recent years, they are decoded the gene code of human being. People all over the world are astonished and excited. However, at the same time, it evokes many things which we should and must think carefully.
What s gene? I think we should know sometimes about DNA first. DNA is short for deoxyribonucleic nucleic acid. It s the most important heredity substance in our bodies, which almost decides all the shape and properties. On it are there thousands of genes arranged in sequence. Each of them carries a genetic message that decides your appearance, intelligence or any other character. So there s no doubt that decoding the gene code will do an great effect on us and has a profound and far-reaching meaning.
This scientific fruit would absolutely bring some advantages. If it was in use, agriculture would benefit from it a lot. The output of crop would increase. They could resist all kinds of diseases and have a strong ability of disaster-proteeting. Animals may be safe because scientists can continue a plant by genetic optimization or cloning when it is in danger. For humans, it will contribute to medicine. Hereditary diseases reduces a lot. Many incurable diseases can be treated. We will enjoy our lives without pain.
Materialistic happiness is short-lived, but happiness achieved by bringing a smile on others face gives a certain level of fulfillment. Peace of mind is the main link to happiness. No mind is happy without peace. We realize the true worth of happiness when we are in sorrow. Sorrow is basically due to death of a loved one, failure and despair. But these things are temporary and pass away.
物质上的快乐往往是短暂的，然而，当你给予他人一个微笑的时候，那种满足却是无与伦比的`。心灵的平静往往是快乐的源泉。没有平和的心态就没有快乐的心情。在伤心的时候，我们往往能够体会到快乐的真谛。悲伤基本都来自于一个爱人的去世、失败还有绝望，但是这样的事情都是暂时的，总会过去的。
On weekdays, I get up at 6:30. I have breakfast at seven o’clock. And then I go to school. Usually I go to school by bike and get to school at about 7:30. I don’t like to be late. We begin our classes at 8:00. I have lunch at school. In the afternoon we have two classes. We often play games after school. I get home at about six o’clock. We have supper at seven o’clock. In the evening I do my
homework. Sometimes I watch TV. I go to bed at about ten o’clock.
Exam is something which most students are extremely afraid of。 It is even referred to by some students as nothing but anxiety-makers。 Frankly speaking， everyone is worried and anxious before exams。 Some students are so worried and anxious that theycan＇t fall asleep at night， which will lead to poor performance in the exams。 This， in turn， makes them nervous even when the exams are over。
If it is reasonable to be worried and anxious before exams， it is certainly not reasonable to be so after the exams。 What we should clo is to relax completely。 But when asked， some students say that they really have no idea how to do so.
The following are what I usually do after exams。 First， don＇t make too big a deal about scores。 Exam is only a way to test how much you＇ve learned about the subject。 It enables you and your teacher to know where your shortcomings lie。 The world will not end if you fail in one exam。 It helps to relax yourself if you realize this。 Second， listen to some music。 Light music or classical music would be the best。 The beautiful melody will bring you into a world filled with joy and happiness。 Finally， participate in any kind of sport games youlike。 It will help you to relax both mentally and physically。
Hope is what keeps life going. Parents always hope their children will do well. Hope makes us dream. Hope builds in patience. Life teaches us not to despair even in the darkest hour, because after every night there is a day. Nothing remains the same we have only one choice keep moving on in life and be hopeful.
希望是人生动力之源。父母总是希望自己的孩子能够做得很好。希望使我们有梦想。希望使我们变得有耐心。人生教会我们即使是在最困难的时候都不要绝望，因为黑暗之后终将是黎明。没有什么事一成不变的，我们惟有充满希望地继续生活。
Life teaches us not to regret over yesterday, for it has passed and is beyond our control. Tomorrow is unknown, for it could either be bright or dull. So the only alternative is work hard today, so that we will enjoy a better tomorrow.
人生教会我们不要对过去的事感到后悔，因为过去的终究是过去了并且我们已无法控制。没人知道明天会是怎样，因为它可以是光明的同样也可以是无趣的。所以，唯一的选择便是在今天努力工作，这样才能让我们去享受更美好的明天。
Global Shortage of Fresh Water
Many people believe that the world’s supply of fresh water will never be used up. They think that fresh water comes from such a variety of sources that it is always sufficient for use. Such an opinion leads to a shocking waste of water.
As a matter of fact, the earth is short of fresh water. Furthermore, with the rapid growth of the world population, the rising demand for water by industry, and the serious pollution of our surroundings, the world is facing the ganger of running out of fresh water. Actually, in some big cities, fresh water can not meet the daily needs.
Therefore, to find new ways to save water is an urgent task. First, we should pass strict laws to control any waste of water. Second, scientists must work even harder to purify sea water, and try to find substitute to reduce the use of fresh water.
Everyone has a lot of dreams. Some people want to be rich, dreaming of becoming millionaires overnight. Others want to be famous, dreaming of suddenly jumping to great fame. I have a lot of dreams, I'll talk about my dream i What is my dream? I often ask myself. When I was a little boy, I wanted to be a soldier with a gun so that I could defend our motherland. Now I am a young boy with a new dream——to be a doc-tor. I want to be a famous doctor, helping the sick and saving their lives. Why has my dream changed? Well, at the age of 11 I was ill, badly ill. I was told that I had cancer. I had to leave both my school and my friends and go to the hospital. Every day I suf-fered the troubles caused by this illness. I also saw some people who were suffering and dying of ill-nesses. I made up my mind to become a doctor, so that I can help the sick people and cure them of their diseases. China is a develop-ing country. She needs good medicine and good doctors, especially in the countryside and lonely villages.
I want to try my best to help the poor sick people of our country. I want to let them have an opportunity to receive excel-lent treatments for their illnesses without having to pay much or any money. I'll do every bit to cure the incurable. I hope to see a world where there is no cancer, no Aids, no fatal diseases. I'm confident that through the joint efforts of you and me, man will put an end to his bodily sufferings and this dream of mine will one day be brought into reality.

今天，上完科学课，我坐在座位上，拿出英语书，静静地坐在座位上。上课铃响了：“叮当地面响了。我们对这些话很生气，像往常一样，它们总是来。老师让我们读单词，一遍又一遍地读，我心想：要多久？我都快流口水了。其实我们也要体谅一下老师，老师那么努力也发不出声音，还教给我们学习的`知识。虽然老师不会大声说话，但是老师有时候会叫英语课代表，然后英语课代表让我们听，很麻烦。
对于英语成绩不好的学生，我们应该更加努力，不要让老师担心。希望老师喉咙好一点。我们也要好好学习。做好本职工作，学好知识对我有好处。虽然我今天读了英语单词，但我从老师的精神中学到了一些东西。老师嗓子不舒服。我真的很佩服在海上学教我们。
