Morning Exercises

Morning came. The bell rang. I got out of the warm cotton-padded qui]t, quickly dressed myself, ran onto the playground, and played*on the parallel bars.

A few moments later, more people Came. They exercised themselves in various ways. Some ran around the track. Some played on the horizontal bar. Still. some played basketball,trying to shoot baskets.A group of girls were walking on the balance beam by turn.A Couple of strongly-builtboys made graceful movements 0nthe flying rings. Over there, several old men and women did shadow-boxing.

At exactly 6:30, music came for people to do exercises to radio music. For ten minutes all the people on the playground were seen bending down and straightening up, tu rning left and right. It’s really a beautiful sight to look at!

A letter to a Schoolmate

June 23, 2001

Dear Xiao Wang,

I am delighted to know that you will be able to visit me for a week during the National Day holiday. I am looking forward to your visit and to the opportunity to catch up. Welcome to my home in Nanjing!

As you know, Nanjing has many places of interest to see, to discover, and to enjoy. Among its historical sites are stone city wall, the Confucius Temple with its magnificent night view, and Dr. Sun Yetsen’s Mausoleum. With all its universities, Nanjing is a cultural center, offering an abundance of artistic and musical performances. It’s also a city of beautiful gardens and parks, such as the Xuanwu Lake Park. With all these features, we will have a fun-filled week, especially that in early-October, there are many sunny and mild days for outdoor activities. So, I would suggest visiting these places first, and deciding on the others as our week develops.

Finally, since at this time of the year the weather gets a little chilly in the evening, I would suggest that you bring some warm clothing with you. Also, as there will be crowds of people at the stations and on the trains, you need to be very careful with your belongings!

Best wishes for a pleasant journey!

Yours,

Zhang Ying

Life is Struggle

Everything in the world is in constant struggle, ‘struggle’ in the sense of competition in natural selection among organisms.

Animals and plants struggle for their existence. Nature provides them with weapons for that

struggle. Lions have claws; fish have scales; roses have thorns. They use their weapons for the un-

avoidable war of existence. Nature also orders us to struggle;when we obey Nature, we win our existence.

The result of struggle is the evolution of a better society.In order to surpass others, one has to devote himself to what he does. If every individual does so. the society will make progress.

Struggle is inevitable. But we should struggle with sportsmanship, not stand in the way of others in order to achieve our own success. It is Only by struggling in such a way that mankind will see a world getting more glorious day by day.

生存就是竞争

世上万物都置身于不断的竞争中，“竞争”就是生物体之间在自然选择过程中竞赛的意思。

动物和植物为生存而竞争，大自然赋予了它们进行竞争的武器。狮子有爪，鱼有鳞，玫瑰有刺。它们使用这些武器为不可避免的生存之战而战。大自然也迫使我们去竞争；如果我们遵循自然规律，我们就能生存。

竞争的结果是社会向好的方向发展。一个人为了超过其他人，应该致力于自己的工作。如果每个人都做到这点，社会就会进步。

竞争是不可避免的。但是我们应该以运动员所具有的道德去参与竞争，而不能为了自己的成功去挡住别人的路。

只有通过这种方式的竞争，人类才能拥有一个日益辉煌的世界。

Television

Television is playing a very important part in our lives. But like other things, it has both advantages and disadvantages.

In the first place, television is not only a convenient, but a cheap source of entertainment.

For a family of four, for example, it is more convenient as well as cheaper to sit comfortably at home, with unlimited entertainment available, than to go out in search of amusement elsewhere. All they have to do is press a button, and they can see shows of every kind, not to mention the latest political

discussions and exciting football match. Some people, however, think this is just where the danger lies. The television viewer takes no initiative. He is completely passive and has everything without any effort on his part.

Television informs us about current events, the latest developments in science and politics, and offers an endless series of instructive and entertaining programs. It could be argued that the radio can also perform this service; but on television everything is much more vivid. Yet again there is a danger. We get addicted to it, so dependent on its moving pictures that it begins to dominate our lives.

There are many other arguments. The poor quality of programs is often criticized. But it is a great comfort to many lonely people indeed. I think we must realize that television in itself is neither good nor bad. It is the uses to which it is put that determine its value to society.

电视

电视在我们的生活中发挥着十分重要的作用。但是同其他事物一样，它也有利有弊。

首先，电视是一种既方便又便宜的娱乐资源。例如，对于一个四口之家来说，舒舒服服地坐在家里看各种各样的娱乐节目，比起出门去别的地方寻找快乐，既方便，也便宜的多。
