Welcome Unit
The first day at senior high school
“Senior high school at last!”When I walked on campus this morning, I was excited but also anxious. As you know, on the first day of school, we students are often asked to introduce ourselves formally. I want to make a good impression on others, but its not that easy to organise, write and revise a self-introduction. What if the other guys find my introduction boring? I dont want this embarrassing thing to happen.
Soon it was 8 a.m., time for class. To my delight, instead of the frightening self-introduction, the teachers designed many ice-breaking games, through which I got to know my new deskmate, Jimmy. He is an exchange student. Asked his nationality, he said American. He came to our school because his parents work in a company here. I was curious and kept asking, sometimes when he was concentrating on understanding the teacher. But he wasnt annoyed, nor did he ask me to leave him alone. He seems outgoing and has a good personality. I have the confidence that we will make good partners though we come from different nations.
Unlike in junior high school, six of my new teachers are male. The English teacher, one of the three females, said that to achieve our goals we need to explore our own learning style. Reading a lot and taking notes when necessary are the best strategies to improve English. Flash cards also help.
Jimmy and I registered for a lecture on physics experiments at 5 p.m. I look forward to more such activities.
歡迎单元高中的第一天
“终于上高中了!”今天早上当我走在校园里的时候,我既兴奋又焦虑。你知道,在开学第一天,我们学生经常被要求正式做自我介绍。我想给别人留下好印象,但是组织、写作和修改自我介绍并不那么容易。如果其他的那些家伙觉得我的介绍很无聊怎么办?我可不想发生这样令人尴尬的事。
很快就到了早上8点,上课的时间。让我开心的是,没有可怕的自我介绍,相反地,老师们设计了许多破冰游戏,通过这些游戏我认识了我的新同桌Jimmy。他是一个交换生。问他的国籍,他说是美国人。他上我们学校是因为他的父母在这里的一家公司工作。我很好奇,不停地问,有时是在他集中精力理解老师的话的时候。但他并不生气,也没有叫我不要打扰他。他看起来外向,性格也很好。尽管我们来自不同的国家,我有信心我们将成为很好的搭档。
不像在初中,我的新老师中有六位是男的。英语老师是三位女教师之一,她说,要实现我们的目标,我们需要探索自己的学习方式。大量阅读,必要时记笔记是提高英语的最佳策略。单词卡片也有帮助。
Jimmy和我一起报名参加了下午5点的一场关于物理实验的讲座。我期待着更多这样的活动。

Teenage Life
Rosa, an adult, 20 years older than me, became my good friend on the first day we met. In front of her, I can voice my opinions freely and fluently and there seems to be no generation gap. We sometimes have heated debates on different topics from how to deal with greenhouse gases to ways to stay cool as a teenager. Rosa once told me she liked ballet dancers smooth and beautiful movements and wanted to be a ballerina. But after graduating in Chinese literature at Oxford, she became an editor, which in her parents opinion was suitable for her. But actually, deep in her heart, she prefers something different. So she quit her job, which obviously, confused them.
As a freshman in senior high school, I am addicted to adventures and always challenge myself in different extra-curricular activities. One day, my desk mate Tom recommended me to sign up for a course titled Recent Advances in Computer. And I was attracted by its content. However, while showing off what I had learned to Rosa on weekend, I broke down her computer which contains important files. With no choice, we went to an expert.
Tough having a busy schedule, the expert focused himself on finding a solution. Fortunately, with the help of the advanced technology, the confusing problem was solved. Seeing that, I knew it was time for me to shoulder the responsibility. So I volunteered to clean up and prepare a huge plate of fish for dinner. They were happy about that and I also realized youth is not just about being cool, but also about being responsible for ones own behaviors.
第一單元青少年生活
罗莎,一个比我大20岁的成年人,在我们相遇的第一天就成了我的好朋友。在她面前,我可以自由流利地表达我的观点,似乎没有代沟。我们有时会就不同的话题展开激烈的辩论,从如何处理温室气体到作为青少年如何耍酷。罗莎曾经告诉我,她喜欢芭蕾舞演员流畅优美的动作,并且也想成为芭蕾舞演员。但在牛津大学中国文学系毕业后,她成为一名编辑,在她父母看来,这很适合她。但实际上,在她内心深处,她更喜欢不同的东西。所以她辞掉了工作,这显然让他们很困惑。
作为一名高中新生,我特别喜欢冒险,总是在不同的课外活动中挑战自己。有一天,我的同桌汤姆推荐我报名参加一门名为“计算机的最新进展”的课程。我被它的内容所吸引。然而,当我在周末向罗莎炫耀我学到的东西时,我把她的电脑搞坏了,里面有重要的文件。别无选择,我们去找了专家。
尽管工作日程繁忙,这位专家集中精力寻找解决办法。幸运的是,在先进技术的帮助下,这个令人迷惑的问题得到了解决。看到这一点,我知道该是我承担责任的时候了。所以我自告奋勇打扫卫生,准备了一大盘鱼当晚餐。他们对此感到非常高兴,我也意识到,青春不仅仅是要耍酷,而且要对自己的行为负责。

Travelling around
I am an architect. One day, I contacted a tourism company recognized by the official organization and I signed up for a package tour. The company made full arrangements for my travel. First, I was given a brochure with all types of detailed information sources. And then, I was offered accommodations in a hotel. But I was told to check in at its counter desk before moving into a flat and to check out when quitting accommodations. Other than that, I was requested to pay for a scheduled flight to Xian by credit card.
I flew to Xian Airport from which it was a real hike to my destination, the tomb of Qinshihuang. So I rented a car and transported myself along a narrow path to the tomb. Its amazing architecture like a castle came to my sight. The tomb was built for Qinshihuang, the first emperor in China, who took powerful control of his empire. There followed another amazing site, the Terracotta Army, which is unearthed from his tomb and made up of more than 8,000 unique soldiers statues made in the third century B.C. Besides, at a corner, I was amazed at some comments by travelers on the tomb management.
After admiring the impressive view, I took a flight back to our hotel. Suddenly an idea came to my mind why the ancient civilization in China was so great. The answer might have come from developed economy. It was economic development that might have created brilliant civilization. However, what about the foreign civilization? To experience the civilization abroad, now it is time to apply for a visa and pack my clothes into a package for a tour. I am extremely looking forward to travelling around the world.
第二單元旅游
我是一名建筑师。有一天,我联系一家官方机构认可的旅游公司报名参加了包价旅游。公司对我的旅游做了全面安排。首先,给我一本写着各种详细信息来源的小册子。然后,提供我的宾馆膳宿,但是却告诉我在柜台登记之后才能住进一套公寓和停止膳宿时要登记退房。除此之外,要求我用信用卡支付预定的飞往西安的航班。
我飞到西安机场,从机场到目的地, 秦始皇陵, 要走很远的路。因此,我租一辆车,沿着一条狭窄的小路自己开车去。秦始皇陵那令人惊讶的城堡似的建筑映入我的眼帘。这陵是为秦始皇而建的,他是中国的第一个皇帝,曾经强有力地掌控他的帝国。接着另一个极其令人惊讶的地点是兵马俑。兵马俑是从秦始皇墓出土的由8千多尊公元前三世纪制作的独具特色的人造士兵雕像组成。此外,在一个被一条狭窄的小径与其它地方连接起来的角落,我惊讶地看到游客对帝陵管理的评论。
我欣赏印象深刻的美景后,乘坐航班回到宾馆。突然地,我有一个念头:为什么中国的古代文明如此伟大。答案可能是其发达的经济,有可能恰恰是经济的发展创造了辉煌的文明。然而,国外的文明情况如何呢?为了体验国外的文明,现在是申请签证,将衣服打包,塞进包裹里,背上行装出发旅游的时候了,我极其希望旅游全世界。

Tom Survived the Earthquake
One night, Tom watched a TV program about natural disasters like drought, flood, volcanic eruption, typhoon and hurricane. These disasters often destroy lots of buildings and cause many deaths, which have a bad effect on people. The survivors suffer greatly when their houses are in ruin and they have to live in shelters. Luckily, in the context of such disasters, kind people will dig for trapped survivors and delivered daily supplies to them.
One day, Tom suddenly felt the ground slide. Then, some bricks and metal fell down and many things crashed. Next, there was no electricity. Without power, it was dark. He knew the earthquake happened, which affected Tom greatly. A wave of shock struck him.
But immediately, he breathed deeply and made a great effort to calm down and use his wisdom to deal with this emergency. It struck him that he should go to take the first aid kit at once, with medicine, water and some food in it. As soon as he got it and stayed in the firmest place of his house, the whole building was damaged and fell down. Many people were buried.
Fortunately, some strong pines made space for Tom. Though trapped, he didnt feel as if the world was at an end. With water and food on hand, he was sure he would survive. Ten hours later, he heard volunteers sweeping in the open air. He struck the pipes violently to make noises. At length he was rescued. He saw people wave to him. Soon after, he was sent to a shelter and provided with some daily supplies.
In summary, disasters are cruel but people are kind.
第四單元地震中大难不死的汤姆
一天晚上,汤姆看了一个关于自然灾难的节目,如干旱、洪水、火山爆发、台风及飓风。这些灾难经常摧毁大量建筑物,造成许多人员死亡,这对人们有极坏的影响。当他们的家园被毁,不得不住在避难所里时,幸存者会遭受巨大的痛苦。幸运的是,在遇到灾难的情况下,善良的人们会挖掘被困的幸存者,并给他们送来日常生活用品。
有一天,汤姆突然感到地板在滑动。然后,一些砖和金属掉了下来,很多东西碰撞在一起。紧接着,电停了。没有电,周围漆黑一片。他明白地震发生了,这极大地影响了汤姆。他感到了一阵恐慌。
但他马上深呼吸,努力冷静下来并用他的智慧去处理这个紧急情况。他突然想到他应马上去拿急救箱,里面有药、水,也有一些食物。当他一拿到急救箱、待在房间最坚实的地方时,整座大楼就被破坏了,然后倒了下来。很多人都被埋住了。
幸运的是,几根结实的管子给汤姆腾出了空间。虽然被困,他没有觉得这好像是世界末日。因为手头上有水和食物,他坚信一定会活下来。十个小时之后,他听到志愿者在户外打扫。他拼命地怕打管子以此弄出声响。最终他被救了出来。他看到人们向他挥手致意。不久之后,他被送到一个避难所,并得到一些日常用品。
总之,灾难无情人有情。

Chinese characters and calligraphy
Chinese characters are the only one of the oldest writing systems that is still in use. They date back to the Shang Dynasty when human beings started to carve symbols on the tortoises shells or bones. Despite the fact that China experienced ups and downs due to varieties of factors, Chinese characters have been handed down up to now, which 1.4 billion Chinese people are proud of. Interestingly, Japanese characters are closely related to Chinese characters. Or rather, Japanese characters are based on Chinese characters. As we can see, many words are the same as Chinese ones in Japanese vocabulary.
Chinese calligraphy is a specific symbol of Chinese culture. Words cant describe my love for it, though my handwriting is not so good. So I beg my teacher for advice and he encourages me to refer to some reference books about calligraphy. Besides, he asks me to take a positive attitude to Chinese calligraphy. His point of view is to use Chinese calligraphy to bridge the culture gap between China and the western countries, and try to make westerners treat cultures around the globe equally. Therefore, he demands I should keep pactising and never give up.
After that, no matter how busy I am, I have been struggling to practise it. I regard practising calligraphy as one of the affairs that I must do every day. Whether I am in the subway, in a gas station or in my apartment, I always consider how to make my calligraphy more beautiful.
Finally, hard work pays off, and many of my works have been exhibited around the world and appreciated by local people. And now I major in calligraphy in university. Ill try to create more classic works of calligraphy by systematic means.
汉字与书法
汉字是唯一一种仍在使用的最古老的书写系统。汉字可以追溯到商朝,那时,人们开始在乌龟的壳上或者骨头上刻上符号。尽管中国由于各种因素经历了起起伏伏,但汉字一直流传至今,14亿中国人为此感到自豪。有趣的是,日文与汉字有密切的关系。更确切地说,日文是以汉字为基础的。正如我们所看到的,在日文词汇中,许多字与汉字是一样的。
中国书法是中华文化的一种特有的符号。尽管我的书法不是很好,但言语无法描述我对它的喜爱。因此,我向老师求教,他鼓励我参考一些关于书法的参考书。此外,他还要求我要以积极的态度对待中国书法。他的观点是用中国书法来弥合中国和西方国家之间的文化鸿沟,让西方人平等地对待世界各地的文化。因此,他要求我继续努力,永不放弃。
自那以后,不管我有多忙,我一直在努力练习。我把练习书法当作我每天必须做的事情之一。无论我是在地铁里,在加油站里,還是在我的公寓里,我总是在思考如何让我的书法更漂亮。
我的努力终于得到回报,我的许多作品在世界各地展出,受到当地人的欣赏。现在我在大学主修书法。我将尝试用系统的方法创作更多经典的书法作品。
