武术（Wushu）在我国源远流长，是中华民族传统文化的瑰宝。

我们知道，一个民族的优秀文化遗产，不仅仅属于一个民族，它会逐渐传播到世界而成为人类的共同财富。

为了更好的推广武术运动，使其与奥运项目接轨，中国武协（the Chinese Wushu Association）和国际武联（International Wushu Federation）做了大量的艰苦卓绝的工作。

现在武术运动已被列为一种具有与保龄球运动和国际标准舞同等地位的奥运表演项目。

Wushu, or Chinese martial art, can be traced back to ancient times. It is a gem of Chinese traditional culture. As we all know, the fine culture of a nation doesn't belong to the nation alone and it will be spread to the rest of the world and shared by all humanity. The Chinese Wushu Association and International Wushu Federation (IWUF) have been working very hard to popularize Wushu and make the Chinese martial art closer to the Olympic Movement. Wushu was accepted to join bowling and international standard dance as an Olympic demonstration event.
徐霞客一生周游考察了十六个省，足迹几乎遍及全国。

他在考察的过程中，从来不盲目迷信书本上的结论。

他发现前人研究的地理的记载有许多不是很可靠的地方。

为了进行真实细致的考察，他很少乘车坐船，几乎全靠双脚。

During his life time, Xu Xiake had visited sixteen provinces, leaving his footprints in nearly every corner of our country. He neither used books as the single guide for his travel, nor did he accept conclusions given by books without thinking. As a result, he finally discovered considerable inaccuracies occurring in the geographical notes written by predecessors. In order to get a detailed and truthful picture of the places he visited, he rarely travelled by cart or boat, but almost all on foot.
中华民族的传统文化博大精深，源远流长。

早在2000多年前，就产生了以孔孟为代表的儒家学说和以老庄为代表的道家学说，以及其他许多也在中国思想史上有地位的学说流派，这就是有名的“诸子百家”。

从孔夫子到孙中山，中华民族传统文化有它的许多珍贵品质，许多人民性和民主性的好东西。

比如，强调仁爱，强调群体，强调和而不同，强调天下为公。

特别是“天下兴亡，匹夫有责”的爱国情找，“民为邦本”，“民贵君轻”的民本思想，“己所不欲勿施于人”的待人之道，吃苦耐劳，勤俭持家，尊师重教的传统美德，世代相传。

所有这些，对家庭，国家和社会起到了巨大的维系与调节作用。

The traditional Chinese culture, both extensive and profound, starts far back and runs a long, long course. More than 2,000 years ago, there emerged in China Confucianism represented by Confucius and Mencius, Taoism represented by Lao Zi and Zhuang Zi, and many other theories and doctrines that figured prominently in the history of Chinese thought, all being covered by the famous term” the masters’ hundred schools.” The traditional Chinese culture presents many precious ideas and qualities, which are essentially populist and democratic. For example, they lay stress on the importance of kindness and love in human relations, on the interest of the community, on seeking harmony without uniformity and on the idea that the world is for all. Esp ecially, patriotism as embodied in the saying ”Everybody is responsible for the rise or fall of the country”; the populist ideas that “people are the foundation of
the country” and that “people are the more important than the monarch”; the code of conduct of “Treat others as you want to be treated”.And the traditional virtues taught from generation to generation: endurance and hard working diligence and frugality in household management, and respecting teachers and valuing education. All of which have played a great role in binding and regulating the family, the country and the society.
现代人类约公元前50000年第一次从中亚或印度来到中国。

这些石器时代(Stone Age)的人，居住在洞穴中，穿着毛皮。

公元前4000年左右，这些人开始种植水稻，并饲养羊和鸡。

约公元前3000年，他们开始使用陶器(pottery)并住在房子里。

到公元前2000年，中国人已进入青铜时代(Bronze Age)，并开始用于写字。

约公元前700年，中国的金属工人学会制作铁器工具和武器。

Modem humans first came to China from Central Asia or India about 50,000 BC. These were Stone Age people, who lived in caves and wore fur and leather. By around 4,000 BC, these people were starting to farm rice and keep sheep and chickens. By about 3,000 BC, they were using pottery and living in houses. By 2,000 BC，Chinese people had entered the Bronze Age and had begun to use writing. By about 700 BC，Chinese metal-workers learned to make iron tools and weapons.
科学和自然界中一切存在的事物和发生的现象的特点和过程有关。

科学包括整个自然界，它精辟地阐述了人类关于各种自然现象是如何彼此联系并如何构成我们所说的宇宙的种种概念的。

科学有许多特性，要了解科学是什么，就得详细地考察一下这些性能和特点。

有一些作者断言说科学实际上只是一种方法—科学的方法。

这样的定义是过于简单化了。

但是科学方法在决定科学知识的性质方面肯定起着重要的作用。

Science is related to all the existing things and the characteristics and process of the phenomena happening in nature. Science contains the whole nature, which develops various penetrating views about human being's conceptions that how various natural phenomena are related together and how they constitute our so-called universe.
Science has many characteristics. We have to inspect those functions and characteristics in detail if we want to know what the science is. Some authors assert that science in fact is a kind of method-scientific method. This definition is over simplified. But obviously the scientific method plays an important role in deciding the nature of the scientific knowledge.。
