Have you ever been to Singaapore?
Have you ever been to Singapore? For many Chinese tourists,this small island in Southeast Asia is a wonderful place to take a holiday. On the one hand,more htan three quarters of the population are Chinese,so you can sim[ly speak Putonghua a lot of the time.On the other hand,Singapore is an English-speaking country,so it's also a good place to practice your English!
Have you ever tried Chinese food outside of China?Maybe you fear that you won't be able to find anything to eat in a foreign country. In Singapore,however,you'll find a lot of food from China;you won'thave any problem finding rice,noodles, or dumplings.However,if you'refeeling brave,Singapore is an excellent place to try new food.Whether you like Indian food,western food,or Japanese food,you'llfind it all in Singapore!
Most large citise have zoos,but have you ever been to a zooat night?Singapore has a night zoo called the "Night Safari".It might seem strange to go to a zoo when it's dark.But if you've ever been to a zoo during the daytime, you might understand why this zoo is so special. A lot of animals only wake u[ at night, so this is the best time to watch them.Ifyou go to see lions,tigers, or foxes during the daytime, they'll probably be asleep!At the Night Safari,you can watch these animals in a more natural environment than a normal zoo.
One great thing about Singaporeis that the temperature is almost the same allyear round.This is because the island is so close to the equator.So you can choose to go whenever you like--spring,summer,autumn,or winter!And,of course, it's not too far from China!

一笑而过
面对失败和挫折,一笑而过是一种乐观自信,然后重整旗鼓,这是一种勇气。
面对误解和仇恨,一笑而过是一种坦然宽容,然后保持本色,这是一种达观。
面对赞扬和激励,一笑而过是一种谦虚清醒,然后不断进取,这是一种力量。
面对繁茂和忧愁,一笑而过是一种平和释然,然后努力化释,这是一种境界。
失败和挫折是暂时的,只要你勇于微笑;误解和仇恨是暂时的,只要你达观待之;赞扬和激励是暂时的,只要你不耽于梦想;烦恼和忧愁是暂时的,只要你不被它左右。大海茫茫,百溪争流,不拒众流方为沧海。芸芸众生,人生无常,不被艰难困苦吓倒,方显英雄本色。风雨欲来,春花凋落,凭栏眺望,阳光总在风雨后。潮涨潮落,云卷云舒,闲庭信步,高挂前进的风帆,到中流击水,浪竭飞舟,前方就是成功的彼岸。
别再留恋破碎的旧梦,别再沉迷于往日的幸福光环,别再计较人生的得失,别再担忧明天的天气。既然选择了前方就只管风雨兼程,微笑着送走不愉快的阴云,不要让它们遮住你的眼睛。不要因为今天的痛苦就否定明天的幸福,不要因为微小的成功而迷失方向,不要因为眼前的风雨接否定明天的阳光,因为乌云是遮不住太阳的,是的,遮不住的!也不要因为错过了星星而哭泣,否则我们会错过月亮。
既然这一切都是暂时的,我们为什么不一笑而过,从头再来呢?
生活中罩在我们头上的光环和不如意的事情就像颜色不一的气泡,不论多么好看或难看,总有一添购它会破灭。与其盯着不开心的东西,不如活动自己的手脚,舒展自己的笑脸,实实在在地为着理想而追求。这时候,光环会变虚,我们的心灵却会因为不懈的追求和微笑慢慢的地充实起来。人生就会像一条缓缓流动的河流,充实而自信;微笑就会像一朵朵翻腾的浪花,带给我们进取的快乐。
我们不能否定鲜花和荆棘相伴,也不能否认阳光与风雨同在,更不能否认成功和失败并存!人生不如意之时常一二,明媚之日常八九。那就一笑而过轻松上路吧,能够使自己忧伤也能够使自己快乐,这就是一笑而过的力量。

Life for Cathy Taylor's there children is very busy. Their school days are busy enough. After school,though, Cathy takes the two boys from football to basketball.Then she has to take her daughter to piano lessons.The tired children don't get home until 7pm.They have a quick supper, and it's time for homewouk.
The Taylors are like many American and Britksh parents.They take their children from activity to activity, and try to fir as much as possible into their kids' lives.Doctors say many children are under too much pressure. Teachers complain about teaching tired kids in the classroom.
Most children take part in after-schoolclubs.Activities include sports,language learning, music,and math classes.Pushy parents are mothing new, but now parents seem to push thieu children a lot more. Parents see otherchildren doing a lot of things,and they feel their own children should do the same.
Linda Miller,a mother of three in Lindon,knows all about such pressure."In some families,competition starts from a very young age,"she says."Mothers send their kids to all kind of classes when they are very young. And they are always comparing then with other children.It's crazy. Pelple shouldn't push their kids so hard."
Dr AliceGreen agrees.She also says that these children may find it hard to think for themselves when they are older."Parents are trying to plan their kids'lives for them.When these kids are adults,they might find it difficult to plan things for themselves."Parents should learn to give their kids a bit more time to themselves. Om the one hand,children need organized activities.Onthe other hand,theyalso need time and freedon to relax,and they need time to do things by themselves.

Do you think you will have your own robot?
In some science fiction movies,people in the future have their own robots. These robots are just like humans. They help with the housework and do the most unpleasant jobs.
Some scientists believe that there will be such robots in the future. However,they agree it may take hundreds of years.Scientists are now trying to make robots look like people and do the same things as us.Japanese companies have already made robots walk and dance.This kind of robot will alsobe fun to watch.
But robot scientist James White disagrees.He thinks that it will be difficult for a robot to do the samethings as a person.For example,it's easy for a child to wake up and kmow where they are.Mr White thinks that robots won't be able to do this.But other scientists disagree.They think that robots will be able to talk to people in 25to 50yiars.
Robot scientists are not just trying to make robots look like people.For exanple,there are alreay robors working in factories.These robots look more like huge arms.They do simple jobs over and over again. People would not like to do such jobs and would get bored.but robots will never get bored.
In the future, there will be more robots everywhere,and humans will have less work to do.New robots will have many different shapes.Some will look like humans,and others might look like snakes.After an earthquake,a snake robot could help look for people under buildings.That may not seem possible mow,but computers, space rockets and even electric toothbrushes seemed impossible a hundred years ago. We never know what will hapen in the future!

如果对方伤害了你,你会心疼,但你能承受住,因为心可以承受;如果许多人伤害了你,你的心会很疼很疼,你或许会承受不住,因为心承受不了!
如果我的心很疼,我会找你,我希望你可以做我的巧克力,给我勇气.

心灵
美丽是一种装饰,心灵才是一种真实.
心灵有真有假,有好有坏,要用心去感受.
心与心会有连通,会有共同语言.
一个人心灵美,那么这个人会更美
一个人心灵丑,那么这个人会更丑
一个人,如果心灵是虚假的,即使她再怎么努力,都不可能掩饰住她内心的虚假.
