The first snow came. How beautiful it was, falling so silently all day long, all night long, on the mountains, on the meadows, on the roofs of the living, on the graves of the dead! All white save the river, that marked its course by a winding black line across the landscape; and the leafless trees, that against the leaden sky now revealed more fully the wonderful beauty and intricacies of their branches. What silence, too, came with the snow, and what seclusion! Every sound was muffled, every noise changed to something soft and musical. No more tramping hoofs, no more rattling wheels! Only the chiming of the sleigh-bells, beating as swift and merrily as the hearts of children.
初雪降臨，多么美�。∷照鼓敲挫o靜地飄著，落在山嶺上，落在草地上，落在世人的屋頂上，落在逝者的墳墓上。在一片白茫茫之中，只有河流在美麗的畫面上劃出一道彎彎曲曲的黑線；還有那葉兒落凈的樹木，映襯著鉛灰色的天空，更顯得枝丫交錯，姿態(tài)萬千。初雪飄落時，是何等的寧謐，何等的幽靜！一切聲響都趨沉寂，一切噪音都化作柔和的音樂。再也聽不見馬蹄得得，再也聽不見車輪轔轔！唯有雪橇的鈴鐺，奏出和諧的樂聲，那明快歡樂的節(jié)拍猶如孩子們心房的搏動。

It was sunny and very hot today. I got up early and helped my parents cook breakfast. Then I washed the dishes and cleaned the room. After a short rest I did my homework in the morning. In the afternoon I went swimming in the nearest swimming pool with my friends. It was really cool to swim in such a hot day. I surfed the internet and read a storybook in the evening. I really had a busy and happy day.

Lan and Fred were boys. They were both twelve years old, and they were in the same class in their school.
Last Friday afternoon they had a fight in class, and their teacher was very angry. He said to both of them, “Stay here after the lessons this afternoon, and write your names a thousand times.”
After the last lesson, all the other boys went home, but Lan and Fred stayed in the classroom with their teacher and begin writing their names. Then Fred began crying.
The teacher looked at him and said,” Why are you crying, Fred?” “Because his name’s Lan May, and mine’s Frederick Hollingsworth,” Fred said.

There are many students in middle school wear the glasses, and many of them were wearing the glasses since little. We have to protect our eyes, prevent them from the short-sightedness. We should keep a good sitting posture, never read the books too closely. We’d better have a short break every hour of reading, close eyes or look at the distance. We should do the eye exercises every day. In the evening, we also shouldn’t read while we are lying. And more important, we shouldn’t spend hour and hour starring at our cellphone. We all should protect our eyes.
有很多中學生都帶著眼鏡，其中很多人從很小就開始戴了。我們必須要保護我們的眼睛，預防眼睛近視。我們應該保持良好的坐姿，看書的時候不要離太近。我們好每看一個小時的書能短暫休息一下，閉上眼睛或者看向遠方。我們應該每天都做眼保健操。晚上的時候，我們也不要邊躺著邊看書。更重要的是，我們不要連續(xù)花幾個小時盯著手機看。我們都應該保護我們的眼睛。

Yet, the bat began to worry, as the birds started to move ahead. So, the bat went to them and begged, "I am on your side because I am winged, too."
They pleasantly accepted the bat. "Sure. Since you have wings, you are on our side." The fight between the birds and the beasts continued and the bat went back and forth to the winning side.
