28 September To Be FreeI eventually got this PC started.It's recently has had lots of problems.Usually it takes several presses on the power button before it's lazily booted.Wores still, the PC now turns a dumb for the sound card is down.OOPs,misfortune never comes single to my poor old coputer!!I don't think I'll insist continuing make do with the worn machine for long.I've made up my mind to take a new one.Nowadays it's easy to obtain because of its low price and great competence.Deep down ,i still thank my poor old machine for accompanying me for 5 years long time,i can't imagine what my life would be without it.It's always been a very important entertainment for me since 5 years ago it first came to my life...or even part of me.My machine gets old and slower while i get mature and shrewd,I will never dump it because i suppose it would weep when I'm not around.
The more the National day is approaching,the better I'm feeling.My schedual for that seven day holiday is nearly full.I am invited together with some of my classmates by Xiang to his home in rural area in Lengshuijinag Hunan which arouses my illusions of pastoral peace,the clean atmosphere ,the closeness to nature and the gental peacing of living.Also the first cockcrow ,the twittering of birds at dawn,the sight of the rising sun glinting on the trees and pastures.Oh what a scener!!!It's really expirence woth cherishing for me who's city born and city bred.
We are gonna leave on 30th Sep.... 19 September the lanzhou cityThe Yellow River flows across Lanzhou, a city that has a 2,000-year history and is capital of Gansu Province. With a population of 2.83 million people, it is one of the largest cities in the northeast, and this concentration has done little to improve the pollution that thickens the air and that flows downriver. Lanzhou was also in the past called the "Gold City", due to the precious metal that was found here. It was this discovery, along with the fact that the city was a significant fortress (for around 1,400 years) of the Hexi Corridor, an eastern and crucial stretch of the Silk Road, that led to a long period of great prosperity in the city.Major. attractions: Green Corridor along Binhe Road, five Spring Mountain, White Pagoda Mountain, Sun Yat-sen Bridge, Waterwheel Garden, Sculptures of the Mother River, Lanshan Mountain, Qiaomen Mosque, Sand-gravel land form at Tianfusha Palace. Now i'd like to say more about five Spring Mountain park The park lies at the foot of the Gaolan Mountain in the southern part of the city proper. Its name is originated from the 5 springs there, namely the Ganlu, Juyue, Mozi, Hui and Meng. It became a famous scenic spot back to more than 2,000 years ago. There are over 10 places in the park crowded with ancient temples, palaces, pavilions as well as some historic relics, such as the Chongqingsi Temple, the Thousand-Buddha Pavilion, the Manisi Temple, the Dizangsi Temple, the Three-religion Temple, the Crescent Pavilion, the Sword Bridge and the Zhongshan Memorial Hall. Insidethe Chongqingsi Temple, there is an iron bell made in the period of Taihe (a title of an emperor's reign) in the Jin Dynasty (1202 AD), which is 3 meters in height, 2 meters in diameter and 5,000 kg in weight. There stands a copper statue of Introducing Buddha inside the Jingang (Buddha's warrior attendant) Palace, which is 5.3 m high, 2.7 m around the body and over 10,000 kg in weight. : >18 September 月饼的由来 月饼,原本是祭月时供品的一种,以后成为民间互相馈赠的礼品。《西湖游览志》称:“民间以月饼相馈,取团圆之义。”东坡以“小饼如嚼月,中有酥和饴”来赞誉月饼 。相传我国古代,帝王就有春天祭日、秋天祭月的礼制。在民间,每逢八月中秋,也有左右拜月或祭月的风俗。“八月十五月儿圆,中秋月饼香又甜”,这句名谚道出中 秋之夜城乡人民吃月饼的习俗。月饼最初是用来祭奉月神的祭品,后来人们逐渐把中秋赏月与品尝月饼,作为家人团圆的象征,慢慢月饼也就成了节日的礼品。 月饼,最初起源于唐朝军队祝捷食品。唐高祖年间,大将军李靖征讨匈奴得胜,八月十五凯旋而归。 当时有人经商的吐鲁番人向唐朝皇帝献饼祝捷。高祖李渊接过华丽的饼盒,拿出圆饼,笑指空中明月说:“应将胡饼邀蟾蜍”。说完把饼分给群臣一起吃。 月饼象征着团圆,是中秋佳节必食之品。在节日之夜,人们还爱吃些西瓜、水果等团圆的果品,祈祝家人生活美满、甜蜜、平安。 中秋吃月饼,和端午吃粽子、元宵节吃汤圆一样,是我国民间的传统习俗。古往今来,人们把月饼当作吉祥、团圆的象征。每逢中秋,皓月当空,阖家团聚,品饼赏月,谈天说地,尽享天伦之乐。月饼,又称胡饼、宫饼、小饼、月团、团圆饼等,是古代中秋祭拜月神的供品,沿传下来,便形成了中秋吃月饼的习俗。月饼,在我国有着悠久的历史。据史料记载,早在殷、周时期,江、浙一带就有一种纪念太师闻仲的边薄心厚的“太师饼”,此乃我国月饼的“始祖”。汉代张骞出使西域时,引进芝麻、胡桃,为月饼的制作增添了辅料,这时便出现了以胡桃仁为馅的圆形饼,名曰“胡饼”。 唐代,民间已有从事生产的饼师,京城长安也开始出现糕饼铺。据说,有一年中秋之夜,唐太宗和杨贵妃赏月吃胡饼时,唐太宗嫌“胡饼”名字不好听,杨贵妃仰望皎洁的明月,心潮澎湃,随口而出“月饼”,从此“月饼”的名称便在民间逐渐流传开。北宋皇家中秋节喜欢吃一种“宫饼”,民间俗称为“小饼”、“月团”。苏东坡有诗云:“小饼如嚼月,中有酥和怡。” 到了明代,中秋吃月饼才在民间逐渐流传。当时心灵手巧的饼师,把嫦娥奔月的神话故事作为食品艺术图案印在月饼上,使月饼成为更受人民青睐的中秋佳节的必备食品。 明代田汝成《西湖游览记》曰:“八月十五日谓中秋,民间以月饼相送,取团圆之意。”清代,月饼的制作工艺有了较大提高,品种也不断增加,供月月饼到处皆有。清代诗人袁景澜有一首颇长的《咏月饼诗》,其中有“入厨光夺霜,蒸釜气流液。揉搓细面尘,点缀胭脂迹。戚里相馈遗,节物无容忽……儿女坐团圆,杯盘散狼藉”等句,从月饼的制作、亲友间互赠月饼到设家宴及赏月,叙述无遗。 17 September 中国男篮击败黎巴嫩夺冠 为五星红旗而添彩14 September English IdiomsToday I came across a book called"English Through Idioms",which informed about the most useful english salngs and idioms.Slangs and idioms are an indispensable part of the English language and are very frequently used by English native speakers.But to us non-native speakers or people who learn English as a second language,they appear very hard to understand though u may learn all the words in the idioms.It is not advisable or sometimes dangerous to try to get the extended meaning literally. So we have to exert an effort in that as if we never knew each of the words in the idiom.
Some Examples:
in someone's black books: to be in disgrace;to be condemned for something. eg: Because of that mistake I'll be in his black books forever ,i'll never get a promotion.
blue in the face :showing exaspiration,annoyance or sometimes,anger. eg:He'll keep saying he's innocent till he's blue in the face .
blueblood:of noble birth:having aristocratic blood.eg:He doesn't deserve any special privilege--I mean it's not as if he's got blue blood.
blue-eyed boy:favored person eg:Being the teacher's blue-eyed boy carries some privilege. 11 September 五年时光
