The most famous snack in my hometown is yuntun. Whenever I taste thisdelicious food, I feel relaxed and happy.
Be patient when eating yuntun. If you are in a hurry and want to eat one ata time, yuntun will burn your mouth full of bubbles. Eating yuntun is also veryexquisite. You can not only separate the skin from the sink, but also pierce theskin and eat for a long time. Guests who like spicy food can put some pepperbefore eating.
On the National Day holiday, my mother took me to master Huangs wonton shopto taste the delicious wonton. They began to eat wonton. I saw that yuntun wasthick in skin and meat, attractive in color, with long drums, which made peoplereally want to eat one at a time. At this time. First, I picked up the pepperbottle and sprinkled pepper in the wonton soup. Then I picked the biggest oneand carefully pricked the skin with chopsticks. Suddenly, a fragrance curledinto my nostril. I couldnt help but drool. I took a bite of the skin first. Itsvery chewy. Then a mass of red meat ran out of yuntuns skin mischievously. Itseems to be looking at me mischievously. At this time, I can no longer resistthe temptation of the meat pit and cant wait to take a bite. The feeling oftenderness and smoothness comes naturally, which makes me not bear to swallowthe delicious and juicy yuntun. I just want to let yuntun taste in my mouth fora long time. I ate seven in a row, which made my belly swell. My mother said Iwas a glutton when she saw how delicious I was. Ah, who makes yuntun sodelicious! I would rather be a glutton, but also to taste this world food. Backhome, the fragrance of yuntun still overflows in the mouth!
How about listening to my introduction, everyone must be drooling! Letshave a taste of this memorable food - yuntun bar!

so i just published a book about introversion, and it took me about seven years to write. and for me, that seven years was like total bliss, because i was reading, i was writing, i was thinking, i was researching. it was my version of my grandfather's hours of the day alone in his library. but now all of a sudden my job is very different, and my job is to be out here talking about it, talking about introversion. (laughter) and that's a lot harder for me, because as honored as i am to be here with all of you right now, this is not my natural milieu.
so i prepared for moments like these as best i could. i spent the last year practicing public speaking every chance i could get. and i call this my “year of speaking dangerously.“ (laughter) and that actually helped a lot. but i'll tell you, what helps even more is my sense, my belief, my hope that when it comes to our attitudes to introversion and to quiet and to solitude, we truly are poised on the brink on dramatic change. i mean, we are. and so i am going to leave you now with three calls for action for those who share this vision.
number one: stop the madness for constant group work. just stop it. (laughter) thank you. (applause) and i want to be clear about what i'm saying, because i deeply believe our offices should be encouraging casual, chatty cafe-style types of interactions -- you know, the kind where people come together and serendipitously have an exchange of ideas. that is great. it's great for introverts and it's great for extroverts. but we need much more privacy and much more freedom and much more autonomy at work. school, same thing. we need to be teaching kids to work together, for sure, but we also need to be teaching them how to work on their own. this is especially important for extroverted children too. they need to work on their own because that is where deep thought comes from in part.
okay, number two: go to the wilderness. be like buddha, have your own revelations. i'm not saying that we all have to now go off and build our own cabins in the woods and never talk to each other again, but i am saying that we could all stand to unplug and get inside our own heads a little more often.

A Brother Like That
A friend of mine named Paul received an automobile from his brother as a Christmas present。 On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office， a street urchin was walking around the shiny new car， admiring it。
"Is this your car， Mister?" he said。
Paul nodded。 "My brother gave it to me for Christmas。" The boy was astounded。 "You mean your brother gave it to you and it didn’t cost you nothing? Boy， I wish 。 。 。" He hesitated。
Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for。 He was going to wish he had a brother like that。 But what the lad said jarred Paul all the way down to his heels。
"I wish，" the boy went on， "That I could be a brother
like that。"
Paul looked at the boy in astonishment， then impulsively he added， "Would you like to take a ride in my car?"
"Oh yes， Id love that。"
After a short ride， the boy turned with his eyes aglow， said， "Mister， would you mind driving in front of my house?"
Paul smiled a little。 He thought he knew what the lad wanted。 He wanted to show his neighbors that he could ride home in a big automobile。 But Paul was wrong again。 "Will you stop where those two steps are?" the boy asked。
He ran up the steps。 Then in a little while Paul heard him ing back， but he was not ing fast。 He was carrying his little crippled brother。 He sat him down on the bottom step， then sort of squeezed up against him and pointed to the car。
"There she is， Buddy， just like I told you upstairs。 His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn’t cost him a cent。 And some day Im gonna give you one just like it 。 。 。 then you can see for yourself all the pretty things in the Christmas windows that Ive been trying to tell you about。"
Paul got out and lifted the lad to the front seat of his car。 The shining-eyed older brother climbed in beside him and the three of them began a memorable holiday ride。 That Christmas Eve， Paul learned what Jesus meant when he said: "It is more blessed to give 。 。 。 "
哥哥的心愿
圣诞节时，保罗的哥哥送他一辆新车。圣诞节当天，保罗离开办公室时，一个男孩绕着那辆闪闪发亮的新车，十分赞叹地问：
"先生，这是你的车?"
保罗点点头："这是我哥哥送给我的圣诞节礼物。"男孩满脸惊讶，支支吾吾地说："你是说这是你哥送的礼物，没花你一分钱?天哪，我真期望也能……"
保罗当然明白男孩他真想期望什么。他期望能有一个象那样的哥哥。但是小男孩接下来说的话却完全出乎了保罗的意料。
"我期望自我能成为送车给弟弟的哥哥。"男孩继续说。
保罗惊愕地看着那男孩，冲口而出地说："你要不要坐我的车去兜风?"
"哦，当然好了，我太想坐了!"
车开了一小段路后，那孩子转过头来，眼睛闪闪发亮，对我说："先生，你能不能把车子开到我家门前?"
保罗微笑，他明白孩子想干什么。那男孩必定是要向邻居炫耀，让大家明白他坐了一部大轿车回家。但是这次保罗又猜错了。"你能不能把车子停在那两个台阶前?"男孩要求道。
男孩跑上了阶梯，过了一会儿保罗听到他回来了，但动作似乎有些缓慢。原先把他跛脚的弟弟带出来了，将他安置在第一个台阶上，紧紧地抱着他，指着那辆新车。
只听那男孩告诉弟弟："你看，这就是我刚才在楼上对你说的那辆新车。这是保罗他哥哥送给他的哦!将来我也会送给你一辆像这样的车，到那时候你就能自我去看那些在圣诞节时，挂窗口上的漂亮饰品了，就象我告诉过你的那样。"
保罗走下车子，把跛脚男孩抱到车子的前座。兴奋得满眼放光的哥哥也爬上车子，坐在弟弟的身旁。就这样他们三人开始一次令人难忘的假日兜风。
那个圣诞夜，保罗才真正体会主耶稣所说的"施比受更有福"的道理。
i have a dream
i am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation.
five score years ago, a great american, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the emancipation proclamation. this momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. it came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of their captivity.
but one hundred years later, the negro still is not free. one hundred years later, the life of the negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination. one hundred years later, the negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. one hundred years later, the negro is still languished in the corners of american society and finds himself an exile in his own land. and so we've come here today to dramatize a shameful condition.
in a sense we've come to our nation's capital to cash a check. when the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the constitution and the declaration of independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every american was to fall heir. this note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the "unalienable rights" of "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." it is obvious today that america has defaulted on this promissory note, insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. instead of honoring this sacred obligation, america has given the negro people a bad check, a check which has come back marked "insufficient funds."
but we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. we refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation. and so, we've come to cash this check, a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice.
Nature is Our Mother:
Let me begin my speech with a replay of scenes familiar to most, if not all, of those present here today.
take. take. take.. The relationship between a mother and a child always seems to follow such a pattern. I know my mother is always there for me, providing me with everything I need; from food to clothing, from tuition to pocket money. I never thought twice about all she did until one day she said,
Like a child endlessly asking, we humans, throughout history, have been continually demanding what we desire from nature. We enjoy the comfort and beauty of our furniture, yet we never bother to think about the serious soil erosion caused by deforestation. We take it for granted that we must warm ourselves in winter times, yet we seldom realize the burning away of precious natural resources.We appreciate all the prosperity from the development of modern industry, yet few would give the slightest consideration to the global air and water pollution caused by industrial wastes. Our ruthless exploitation has permanently impaired our mother earth.As we tragically learned from last summer's floods. We cannot continue our carelessness. Finally, standing here at the threshold of the 21st century, we cannot help thinking of our posterity. Nature is not only the mother of the present generation, but
also the mother of the generations to come. How severely our descendents will criticize us if we leave them a barren and lifeless mother? How much more they will appreciate us if we give them a world of harmony to inherit? Let us start respecting and caring for nature from now on. Let us start the campaign of creating a mutually beneficial relationship between people and nature right from this moment. With this new start, I firmly believe that our children, and our children's children will live in a brand new age of green trees, clean air, crystal water, blue sky and an even more promising world!
however, as a person’s whole life is concerned, success becomes very
complicated. is fortune success? is fame success? is high social status success? no, i don’t think so. i believe success is the realization of people’
s hopes and ideals.nowadays, in the modern society there are many people
who are regarded as the successful. and the most obvious characteristics of hem are money, high position and luxurious life. so most people believe that s success and all that they do is for this purpose. but the problem is wether it is real success. we all know there are always more money, higher position and better condition in front of us. if we keep chasing them, where is the end? what will satisfy us at last? therefore, we can see, to get the real success we must need something inside, which is the realization of
people’ hopes and ideals.
different people have different ideas about success; cause people’s hopes and ideas vary from one another. but i am sure every success is dear to everybody, cause it is not easy to come by, cause in the process of our striving for success, we got both our body and soul tempted, meanwhile we are enlightened by the most valuable qualities of human beings: love, patient, courage and sense of responsibility. these are the best treasures. so now i am very proud that i have this opportunity to stand here speaking to all of you. it is my success, cause i raise up to challenge my hope.
what is success? everyone has his own interpretation as i do. but i am sure
every success leads to an ever-brighter future. so ladies and gentlemen, believe in our hopes, believe in ourselves, we, every one of us, can make a
successful life! wish you all good success!
But the teacher cried
The six-year-old John was terribly spoiled 。 His father knew it， but his grandma doted on him。 He hardly left her side。 And when he wanted anything， he either cried or threw a temper tantrum。 Then came his first day of school， his first day away from his grandmother's loving arms。
When he came home from school his grandma met him at the door。
"Was school all right?" she asked， "Did you get along all right? did you cry?"
"Cry?" John asked。 "No， I didn't cry， but the teacher did!"
但是老师哭了
六岁的约翰娇生惯养。他的父亲明白这一点，可他的祖父母仍然宠着他。这孩子几乎寸步不离他的祖母。他想要什么不是哭，就是闹。他第一天上学才离开祖母的怀抱。
约翰放学了，他奶奶在门口接他并问道：“学校怎样样?你过的好吗?哭了没有?”
“哭?”约翰问，“不，我没哭，可老师哭了。”
Hello everyone，it is glad to meet you，my name is Nong Yanxing，you can alsocall me Virita, It’s my English name. I am a Howell School’s girl and I am anoutgoing girl too, so I like playing jokes with others.
I am fourteen years old and I have learnt English for six years now I’veloved English since the first time, I’ve heard it from a tape. The voice fromthe tape was very wonderful and the language was so nice .That time Ithought，how wonderful the language is! And if I can speak English as well as thespeaker in the tape，that will be amazing! So I asked my mum：“Can I learnEnglish? I really love it!” “Of course you can，but are you sure about it? Canyou insist on it?” She was a bit excited. “Of course I can，mum. I love it verymuch，I want to learn it. ”I said confidently，“Oh，my good kid，you are very good，Iam so excited about you are interested in English. ”She gave me a sweet hug. Welaughed together. Then，I’ve started my English learning way.
At the beginning，I loved English because it sounds comfortable ,but I can’tbelieve that how difficult to learn English grammar. Then I felt tired, and Ireally want to give it up. Buton that main time，my English teacher found me wasa bit strange，“What wrong with you，Virita?You look a bit strange.” “Nothing, Ijust think English grammar is so difficult. It is boring，I don’t want to learnit anymore!” “Why?You can’t give it up，Virita. I can help you just trustme.”“Really?” “Of course!” Then she helped me with my English grammar afterclass everyday. She told me how to find a good way for my own to learn Englishgrammar. How to find a good way to remember the English new words. She told metry to love English! Interests is the best teacher! So my English marks improvevery fast. And in the finally exam，I got the best marks at school. I was sohappy .But my English teacher warned me again “Don’t be proud of it. Hastyclimbers have the sudden falls. You should come on!”
I also like watching Holly Wood movies, for example, The Green Man in theAvengers is very strong and V in V of vendetta is very cool. Most of actors andactresses speak English in the film, and I really want to understand the wholemeaning about a film without any caption one day. Itis difficult for me to makeit come true. I should work harder.
English is a very beautiful language .And itis my friend，a real friend.Although I can’t feel it with my hands, but I can feel it with my heart. Englishbrought me a lot and I have a big dream about English. To make it come true ,Ishould work harder and learn more Western culture. We’ll love each other moreand more.
This is the story with English and me.
Thanks for listening.
good morning, ladies and gentlemen. i’d like to share my teaching dream with you. but before that, i want to say something about the beginning of this dream. in march this year, three teachers from australia came to our school. during the meeting, we exchanged a lot about education. i found that though we have almost the same teaching philosophy, we have different routines. what impressed me most was that their schools end at 3:00 in the afternoon and have no night classes. i can’t tell which kind of routine is better, but the sharp contrast made me think about a better education. the following is a dreamy school in my mind, in which there is no pressure but pleasure.
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.
I love you, China, and I’m so proud of being a Chinese. I’m proud that I’ve got the beautiful yellow skin, black eyes and black hair. I’m also proud that I speak the most beautiful language in the world—Chinese.
I love you, China, for I can feel the deep love you give me every day, every minute. Last year, I got an opportunity to visit the United States of America. During my staying there, my father’s boss once invited my family to dinner. While at table, he looked at me and asked: “Little boy, how long have you been in America?” “About a month,” I answered, “How lucky you are!” he said, “If you were living in China, how could you learn such perfect English?” I smiled and told him proudly that all the students in China are able to learn English at school. I saw his surprised eyes and said to myself, “I’m proud of you, China. For you are offering us the best education.”
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!

good morning, everyone. my name is . i'm from cheng zhuang primany school. i'm a puiple.today i will tell you a story, the topic is the greedy mouse.
you know the cats eat the mice, and they are enimies. but there is a little mouse that don't know it, her name is jerry.
one day, that was jerry's birthday. that morning, jerry's father and mother got up earilier and said to her, "jerry, get up, get up" the little jerry was sleeping and said, "what's wrong?" "today is your birthday, we are going to buy some presents for you." "thank you, dady momy." then they went out.
but at that time, a cat was looking for food. his name is tom. he found jerry's father and mother went out, left their daughter only at home. he was very happy, said to yourself, "oh, now i have food."
then he called 7654321. jerry catched the telephone quickly, "hello" she said, "this is jerry, who's that?" "this is a tom. i'm a cat."
"a cat? what are you doing?" the cat said, "i hear today is your birthday, happy birthday to you. i have a present for you." jerry was happy, and said, "thank you. you may come here. see you later." "see you later."
then tom went to jerry's home with some flowers.
"who are you?" jerry said, "i'm a tom." "oh, welcome, welcome" the door was open. "jerry, happy birthday to you, here you are." "oh, how nice. thank you, thank you very much. come in, please. then the cat came into jerry's home.
jerry was very happy, she thought tom was friendly to her. she gave some bananas to tom, and said. "tom, please eat bananas." "no, thank you." tom said. "tom, please drink some tea." "no, thank you. jerry, where are your families?" "they are out." "really?" "yes." jerry was worried. then said, "tom, what are you doing?" "now i'm very hungry." "please please……" "no no……" "and what do you want?" "i want want want to eat you." "eat me?" "yes!" "no, help help"
then tom ate jerry. the little mouse was died. this is the mouse's fate.
the story is over. this story tell us no greed.
thank you.
"You are what you eat."Nutrition experts often use this saying to promotebetter eating habits.What we put in our mouths does become a part of us.But wecan look at this statement another way.What we eat reflects who we are--aspeople and as a culture.Do you want to understand another culture?Then you oughtto find out about its food.Learning about American food can give us a real tasteof American culture.
"你吃什么就成为什么样子"营养专家经常使用这句话来倡导更好的饮食习惯，入嘴的东西确实成为我们的一部分.但我们也可以从另一个角度来看这句话，我们所吃的反映出我们自己--不论就人或文化而言.你想了解另一种文化吗?那么你应该去认识他们的食物.认识美国食物可以让我们得知美国文化的精髓。
What is "American food"?At first you might think the answer is easy aspie.To many people,American food means hamburgers,hot dogs,fried chicken andpizza.If you have a "sweet tooth,"you might even think of apple pie or chocolatechip cookies.It's true that Americans do eat those things.But are those the onlykind of vittles you can find in America?
何谓「美式食物」?乍听之下你可能认为答案容易得很。对许多人而言，美式食物就是汉堡、热狗、炸鸡和披萨。如果你是好吃甜食的人，你可能会想到苹果派或巧克力片饼干。美国人确实吃这些东西，但这些就是你在美国唯一找得到的食物吗?
Except for Thanksgiving turkey,it's hard to find a typically"American"food.The United States is a land of immigrants.So Americans eat foodfrom many different countries.When people move to America,they bring theircooking styles with them.That's why you can find almost every kind of ethnicfood in America.In some cases,Americans have adopted foods from other countriesas favorites.Americans love Italian pizza,Mexican tacos and Chinese eggrolls.But the American version doesn't taste quite like the original!
除了感恩节火鸡以外，挺难找到典型的美国食物。美国是个移民之地，所以美国人吃的食物来自许多不同的国家，当人们移居美国，他们也将自己的烹调带了进来。那也就是为什么在美国你几乎可以看到所有不同民族的食物。在某些情况中，美国人把外国的食物视为最爱。美国人喜爱意大利的披萨，墨西哥的玉米饼和中国的春卷，但是这些东西的美国版味道却不很道地!
As with any large country,the U.S.A has several distinct regions.Eachregion boasts its own special style of food.Visit the South and enjoycountry-style cooking.Journey through Louisiana for some spicy Cajuncuisine.Take a trip to New England and sample savory seafood dishes.Travelthrough the Midwest,"the breadbasket of the nation,"for delicious bakedgoods.Cruise over to the Southwest and try some tasty Tex-Mex treats.Finish yourfood tour in the Pacific Northwest with some gourmet coffee.
和许多大国一样，美国有数个截然不同的地区，每个地区都以自己特有的食物夸口。走访美国南部享受乡村式的烹调;到路易斯安纳州品尝辛辣的凯郡式料理;走一趟新英格兰试尝它美味的海鲜;再到中西部「美国的面包之乡」品尝可口的烘培食品;乘船游览至西南部尝试一些好吃的墨式德州小吃，最后到太平洋西北岸，啜饮美食家的咖啡，作为美食之旅的句点。
Americans living at a fast pace often just "grab a quick bite."Fast foodrestaurants offer people on the run everything from fried chicken to friedrice.Microwave dinners and instant foods make cooking at home a snap.Ofcourse,one of the most common quick American meals is a sandwich.If it can fitbetween two slices of bread,Americans probably make a sandwich out of it.Peanutbutter and jelly is an all-time American favorite.
生活在快速步调之下的美国人通常只能「很快地吃几口」。快餐店提供赶时间的人各种食物，从炸鸡到炒饭，应有尽有。微波炉晚餐和实时餐点使得在家烧饭省事又快速。当然，最平常的美式速餐之一就是三明治。任何能夹在两片土司中间的东西，美国人就可以把它作成一份三明治，花生酱和果酱更是一直都深受美国人的喜爱。
Americans on the go also tend to eat a lot of "junk food."Potatochips,candy bars,soft drinks and other goodies are popular treats.Many peopleeat too many of these unhealthy snacks.But others opt for more healthy eatinghabits.Some even go "all natural."They refuse to eat any food prepared withchemicals or additives.
忙碌的美国人也趋向于吃一大堆「垃圾食物」。洋芋片、糖果、汽水和其它好吃的东西都颇受欢迎。许多人吃了太多这类不健康的零嘴，但是其它人则选择较健康的饮食习惯，有些人甚至选择「全天然」的食物，他们拒绝吃任何有化学制品或添加物的食物。
