My View on Money 我的金錢觀
Many people regard money as the most important thing in their life, but I don t agree with them. There are so many things that money can t buy. The first, money can t buy us knowledge, abilities and experience. The second, money can t buy us a happy mood and a good health.
許多人認爲金錢是生活中最重要的東西，但我不同意他們的觀點。有很多東西是金錢買不到的。第一，金錢不能爲我們買到知識，能力和經驗。第二，錢不能買來快樂的心情和健康的身體。
However, money plays a significant role in our daily life. We can t live without it, because we have to use money to buy our daily necessities, like food, drinks, clothes, books, and so on. And we also need money to pay for our houses and education.
但是，金錢在我們的日常生活中扮演着很重要的角色。沒有金錢我們無法生活，因爲我們必須要用錢來買日常必需品，如食物，飲料，衣服，書籍等等。我們還需要錢來買我們房子獲得教育。
All in all, we should have a correct concept of money. We can t live for money, but take it as a tool leading a better life.
總之，我們應該有一個正確的金錢觀。我們不能爲了賺錢而活，而是要把它作爲一種能領導一個更好的生活的工具。
地震作文用語及避震知識 The earthquake
剛剛發生的青海地震讓大家心裏都對地震又恨又怕。雖然天災我們無法控制，但我們可以做好應對措施，這樣就可以儘可能的減少傷亡。
An earthquake is a tremor of the earth's surface usually triggered by the release of underground stress along fault lines. This release causes movement in masses of rock and resulting shock waves. In spite of extensive research and sophisticated equipment, it is impossible to predict an earthquake, although experts can estimate the likelihood of an earthquake occurring in a particular region.
In 1935, American seismologist (地震學家) Charles Richter developed a scale that measures the magnitude of seismic waves. Called the Richter scale, it rates earth tremors on a scale from 1 to 9, with 9 being the most powerful and each number representing an increase of ten times the energy over the previous number. According to this scale, any quake that is higher than 4.5 can cause damage to stone buildings; quakes rated a magnitude of 7 and above are considered very severe. A less-known scale, the Mercalli scale (麥氏震級), was devised by Italian seismologist Giuseppe Mercalli to measure the severity of an earthquake in terms of its impact on a particular area and its inhabitants and buildings.
Some earthquakes are too small to be felt but can cause movement of the earth, opening up holes and displacing rocks. Shock waves from a very powerful earthquake can trigger smaller quakes hundreds of miles away from the epicenter. Approximately 1,000 earthquakes measuring 5.0 and above occur yearly. Earthquakes of the greatest intensity happen about once a year and major earthquakes (7.0-7.9) occur about 18 times a year. strong earthquakes (6.0-6.9) occur about 10 times a month and moderate earthquakes (5.0-5.9) happen more than twice daily. Most earthquakes are not even noticed by the general public, since they happen either under the ocean or in unpopulated areas. Sometimes an earthquake under the ocean can be so severe, it will cause a tsunami, responsible for far greater damage.
The greatest danger of an earthquake comes from falling buildings and structures and flying glass, stones and other objects.
地震是地球表面的地震，通常由釋放沿斷層線的地下應力觸發。這種釋放會導致大量的岩石和產生的衝擊波。儘管有廣泛的研究和先進的設備，它是不可能預測地震，雖然專家可以估計在一個特定區域發生地震的可能性。
1935，美國地震學家查爾斯李希特（地震學家）開發的規模測量地震波的幅度。名爲李希特的規模，它的利率地震的規模從1到9，9是最強大的，每個數字代表比上年增加十倍的能量。根據這一規模，任何超過4.5的地震都會對石材造成破壞；7級以上的地震被認爲非常嚴重。一個鮮爲人知的規模，Mercalli級別（麥氏震級），是由意大利地震學家Giuseppe Mercalli設計地震在一個特定地區及其居民和建築物的影響的嚴重程度來衡量。
有些地震太小，不能感覺到，但能引起地球的移動，打開孔和位移的岩石。從一個非常強大的地震的衝擊波可以觸發較小的地震數百英里以外的震中。約5地震測量1000和以上發生每年。強度最大的地震發生大約一年一次大地震（7.0-7.9）發生大約一年18次。強烈的地震（時）發生約10次一個月和中強地震（5.0-5.9）發生超過每日兩次。大多數地震都沒有注意到的公衆，因爲他們發生在海洋或無人區。有時在海洋下的地震可能是如此嚴重，它會引起海嘯，造成更大的傷害。
一次地震的最大危險來自於建築物和建築物以及飛行玻璃、石塊等物體
If you are in an earthquake
If you are indoors, find a secure location to wait out the quake, such as under a heavy table or desk, or in an interior hallway where you can brace yourself between two walls. Doorways are among the safest places to stand, thanks to the strong beams overhead. However, watch out for swinging doors. Stay away from windows. 如在室內，躲在安全的地方。
If you are outdoors, try to get into an open area, away from falling buildings, power lines, trees, etc. 如在室外，緊急疏散到空曠地帶。
If you are in a crowded public area, crouch down, with your hands protecting your head and neck. 如在人口密集的地方，蹲在地上，保護住頭頸。
If you are in your car, pull over to the side, away from power lines and overpasses, and stay inside the car until the shaking has subsided. 如在車內，躲着一角，避開電線和車頂，直到震動停止。
Be sure to put on shoes immediately, to avoid injury from stepping on broken glass and objects. 穿好鞋，以防被玻璃和其他物件所傷。
Check yourself and others for injuries. 檢查傷口。
Check for gas and water leaks and damage to electrical wires. 關閉煤氣、水管和電線。
Survey the exterior of your home for structural damage to the chimney, roof, foundation and walls. 檢查房屋狀況。
Do NOT use your automobile unless there is an emergency. 除非緊急，不要用汽車。
If you must leave the area, try to leave word where you can be contacted. 如果必須離開，留下你的聯繫信息。
REMEMBER that there may be aftershocks, which can also cause great damage to your surroundings. Be prepared! 小心餘震!
現代社會是否需要孔子精神呢 Does the modern society need the spirit of Kong Zi
上星期你班同學就“現代社會是否需要孔子精神”進行了一次討論，討論情況如下表所示。請你根據表中的內容寫一篇100詞左右的英語短文。
正方 60%的同學認爲：世界各國對孔子的研究愈來愈熱，反映了人們對其思想的重視;孔子思想推動了世界和平的發展。
反方 40%的同學認爲：孔子思想誕生於幾千年前，已經過時;孔子思想在某種意義上限制了社會的發展。
你的觀點
注意：
1. 可適當發揮，以使行文連貫;
2. 參考詞彙：孔子思想Confucian thought 重視treasure過時的outdated。
Last week we had a discussion about whether we still need Confucian thought in modern society. About 60% of the students in my class think it necessary to study Confucian thought. For one thing, more and more people in different countries are bursting to study it, showing that it is still treasured in the world. For another, Confucian thought is believed to have made great contributions to the peace of human beings.
上週我們討論了現代社會是否需要儒家思想。我班大約有60%的學生認爲學習儒家思想是必要的。對於一件事，越來越多的人在不同國家的'人都要學它，顯示它仍然是世界上最珍貴的東西。另一方面，儒家思想被認爲對人類的和平作出了巨大的貢獻。
But every coin has two sides. About 40% of the students in my class insist Confucian thought is outdated. In a way it limits the development of the world.
但每個硬幣都有兩面。我班大約有40%的學生堅持認爲儒家思想已經過時了。以一種方式限制了世界的發展。
Different people have different opinions. I think Confucian thought still has some positive effects on our society.
不同的人有不同的意見。我認爲儒家思想仍對我們的社會有一定的積極作用。

Haste Makes Waste 欲速則不達
The proverb "Haste makes waste" means that one may delay the time to complete one thing if he rushes to do it, because he may neglect something important in the process and has to do it again from the beginning. So one should do every step well.
Take remembering English words for example, every student wants to enlarge his vocabulary. But this aim cannot be achieved in one or two days. You should stick to remem bering some words a day and revise the words every few days. In this way you can keep the words in your mind firmly. There is mo shortcut. If you want to stuff all the words into your brain and mot to revise them, you will remember nothing. So don't be hasty. Haste makes waste.
“欲速則不達”這句諺語是說一個人如果急於去完成某件事，那麼他可能會延誤完成的時間，因爲在做事的過程中他可能忽略一些重要的事情而不得不重新開始。所以要做好每一步。
以記英語單詞爲例，每一個學生都想擴大單詞量。但是這個目標並不是一兩天就能夠達到的。你應該堅持每天記憶幾個單詞，每隔幾天重溫一下這些單詞，通過這種方法你就可以牢牢記住這些單問。世上沒有捷徑。如果你想一下子就將這些單詞塞到你的腦子裏，不再溫習，你會什麼也記不住。所以不要匆忙，欲速則不達。
Look up to the starry sky, stand on solid ground 仰望星空，腳踏實地
I'm no Li Bai, but when it comes to poetry I know what I like, and that's what I know. Some things are inalienably true: Water is wet, grass is green (kind of), dogs bark and houses prices rise.
The line yang wang xing kong ("look up at the starry sky") is one of my favorites. Why? Because it's true. Look at the sky. What do you see? That's right. Stars.
It's very important we all gaze at the skies and don't look around us. Look! Big apartment, high-earning job, KTV booked round the clock, two cars with different license plates and, of course, a hot wife (everyone wants a hot wife. Even my girlfriend, just for the marvelous face it gives).
If we all do this, we drive up national productivity and everybody's happy, except the peasants. But it's crucial to remember the other half. Not the peasants. The earth.
Reach for the Sky was a famous book by a wheelchair-bound pilot written after World War II. Today, we are asked to do a far more important thing: To reach for the ground.
Or, in another way, jiao ta shi di (roughly translated: get real). Keep your feet firmly on dry land. Life is likely going to be living in a dormitory, working for the man and looking at hot wives on the Internet.
It was, I believe, Oscar Wilde, or possibly George Bernard Shaw (or maybe even Noel Coward - it definitely wasn't Dorothy Parker) who said: "We are all of us in the gutter but some of us are looking at the stars."
What exactly did he mean? And how can I use this to finagle a passing grade and ensure a high-flying career at a top 500 company, like Foxconn (they've had some openings recently), or failing that, a kindergarten security guard post? The answer is: I don't know. But I've just had a text to say someone will be emailing me the answers soon.
我不是李白，但談及詩，我知道我喜歡什麼。有些事情是毫無爭議的：就比如水是溼的，草是綠的，狗會汪汪叫，房價註定要漲。
詩句“仰望星空”是我的最愛。爲什麼?因爲它是真實的。擡頭仰望天空，你會看到什麼?當然是星星。
我們都凝視天空，而不是環顧四周，這很重要。看!高大的公寓樓，高收入的工作，通宵達旦KTV，擁有兩輛不同牌照的轎車，當然還有火辣的老婆(每個人都想要個火辣的老婆，甚至我的女朋友，因爲她能給你面子)。
如果我們都這麼做，我們國家的生產率就會提升，同時除了農民們，皆大歡喜。但記住詩的下半句也很重要。下半句不是農民，而是土地。戰後一位身殘的飛行員寫了本非常著名的書《抵達天空》。今天，我們有更重要的事情去做，那就是把腳伸到地裏去。
或者換種方式：腳踏實地(通俗的說法：變得現實)，在乾燥的土地上保持堅定的步伐。生活將會這麼過：住在宿舍裏，爲老闆賣命，在網上尋找火辣的老婆。
我相信，奧斯卡王爾德或者是蕭伯納(也可能是諾爾寇威爾—但絕對不是蘿西帕克)說過：“我們都在貧民窟中，但我們中有一些人正仰望着星星。”
他說這話到底是什麼意思?我如何才能巧妙的將它融入我的文章，確保我能進入施展我抱負的五百強公司之一，比如富士康(最近是個好時機)或者求其次，當上幼兒園保安等等?答案是：我不知道。但我剛收到短信，有人將立馬發郵件給我，告訴我答案。
