MY SUMMER VACATIONAfter the final examination, I received a letter from my uncle and aunt who invited me to stay with them for a fortnight. They live in the countryside near a beautiful mountain. The news brought me a restless night. Next morning, after almost a day‘s ride on the bus I reached their home and I was kindly received by them. They prepared a very nice and airy room for me, Just coming inside, on a small table I found a vase of roses----my favorite flower. I thanked them for their kindness. When they left me to take a rest, I really could not do it. My attention was taken away by the charming and picturesque scenery outside the window. If I were an artist, I would have drawn a wonderful picture of it.Every morning we took a walk in the neighboring hills where we could enjoy the fresh air and sweet songs by the birds. We gathered wild flowers here and there among the bushes, I found it full of fun.In the afternoon, I mostly sent my time reading and writing, for I was shut in the house by the terrible heat. The evening was shut in the house by the terrible heat. The evening was the only time we could go to swim together. I improved my swimming greatly during those two weeks.Though the fortnight passed away at lightening speed, the memory of it will last forever.

Suppose you have everything; a good job, good health, good reputation, good relationships and lot of money to spend. But still there is something missing from your life. Guess what? The LOVE. It is not something which you should ignore. Life without love is just like body without soul. Love gives meaning to life as without love life is meaningless. Lucky is the person who gets love and keeps the flames of love burning for ever. It is not a matter of days or months. Love is for life and life is for love. Short term love encounters are not helpful at all. Be sincere with your body and soul. Indulge in serious life long loving relationship and live a healthy, happy and joyful life. It is easy to fell in love but difficult to keep the flames of love burning. Before indulging in serious long term love relationships be sure that the person you love is also sincere with you. A selfish person can make your life miserable. If this is the case with you then try to get rid of that person as soon as possible. Most people do not give importance to their love life as they give importance to their professional life. In most cases, people sacrifice their love life at the cost of their profession. This is a bad choice which ruins the whole life. A sensible balance between the two is necessary in order to enjoy life in its entirety. Do not deprive yourself of the love you need. People part their ways after living together for years and years. Though this looks strange but is the obvious result of ignoring the genuine complaints and grievances of the other. Sometimes a sincere apology, gentle touch, or a friendly kiss is enough to put your love life on track. However, when deep differences develop between the two then professional consultation is necessary. Do everything to bring back love to your life, if it is lost. In order to make the journey of life more exciting and enjoyable, you need a loving and caring person with whom you can share your values, dreams, fantasies, joys and jokes. In difficult times of anxiety, sorrow, distress or loss of near and dear ones this person should stand firm besides you and console you in every possible manner. Love your life and love the person who is in your life. Keep the flames of love burning to live a great, great love life. Discuss this article with your loved one and carefully listen what he/she says. This can give you a clue of his/her inner sentiments and the depth of love for you. Also avail this opportunity to renew your love life with a new passion and commitment. 翻译： 假设你已经拥有了一切：好工作，健康的身体，良好的声誉和人际关系，还有很多金钱。但你还是觉得生活中少了点什么。是什么呢？爱。它是你绝不该忽视的东西。没有爱的人生就如同没有灵魂的躯体。 爱给予了生活意义。没有爱的生活毫无价值。幸运的人得到爱并使爱的火花永远燃烧。这不是几天或几个月的事。爱是为生活而存在，生活亦是为爱而延续。 短期的爱情际遇全无益处。要忠于你自己的身体和灵魂。认真的长久爱情关系才值得用一生去维系，这样你才能生活得健康、幸福、快乐。 相爱简单，但要想爱情之火长燃不熄却是难事。在确定长久的爱情关系之前一定要保证对方也是同样忠诚于你。自私自利的人将使你生活悲惨。如果这不幸果然发生了，那就尽快摆脱掉这个人。 相对于爱情生活，大多数人更重视职业生活。很多情况下，人们都在为工作而牺牲爱情。这真是个糟糕的选择，它会毁掉人们的整个生活。要想享受完整的生活，那就有必要在爱情与工作二者间寻得理智的平衡。不要剥夺了你自己需要的爱。 很多夫妻在生活多年之后分道扬镳。虽然这看来挺奇怪，但这却是他们忽视对方真切的诉苦抱怨所导致的必然结果。有时，一个真诚的道歉，一次温柔的抚触，或一个友好的亲吻就足够将爱情生活扳回正轨。不过，要是真的出现了鸿沟，那就需要去求助于专家咨询了。如果爱丢了，那么请尽最大努力去挽回。 要想让人生旅程更加激动人心，舒适惬意，你就需要一个能关心爱护你的人。这个人能和你分享价值观、梦想、幻念、快乐和笑话。在你忧虑、悲伤、沮丧，或失去了至亲好友时，这个人应该坚定地守候在你身旁，以一切可能的方式来安慰你。 爱你的生活，爱你生命中的人。让爱火熊熊燃烧，让爱情生活无比伟大。 和你所爱的人讨论这篇文章并认真倾听他/她所说的。这可以给你些许线索去了解他/她内心所想和他/她对你的爱有多深。同时，请利用这次机会来更新一下你的爱情生活，带着新的激情并许下新的承诺。

problems with the education system With the development of the time and the society, china’s higher education system is becoming more and more flawless, and China has benefited much from this. But, we can’t deny, there are also many problems still exist in china’s higher education. In china, the higher education over focus on the knowledge itself, but ignore to cultivate students’ abilities, qualities, and even more important, the sense of responsibility to the society. Maybe this is because Chinese people reverence knowledge, love knowledge more than other things. This is not bad, but it must be under the precondition of not ignoring other things. We must admit, in the past ten years, with the development of china’s higher education system, this phenomenon has changed a lot, but this is still a very common problem in today’s higher education. In my mind, the aim of university education should not confine its views in knowledge teaching, but it should help the students to increase their abilities, qualities, and the sense of responsibility to the society. That’s to say, it is training the good members of society. In the article “The Aim of a University Education” the famous English educationist John Henry Newman expresses his opinion about the higher education: “it aims at raising the intellectual tone of society, at cultivating the public mind, at purifying the national taste ……and refining the intercourse of private life.” “It prepare him to fill any post with credit, and to master any subject with facility.” Here, John Henry Newman raises the abilities, qualities, and the sense of responsibility to the society to more important position. In the reality, after graduation the students will become the average members of the society. At that time, the importance of their abilities, qualities, and the sense of responsibility to the society will be all shown. No matter how much knowledge one owns, if he can’t adapt the society, and contribute to the society, he will be washed out by the society. It is a waste of education recourses. In our life, we can see a lot of examples. Every year, we can hear news that many university students or the persons who have higher academic qualification kill themselves. They have accepted the high education and have a lot of knowledge, but their qualities and the sense of responsibility to the society may not reach the level which they should have. At the same time, many university campuses in China are so dirty that makes people feel they are not in the campus but in the street outside, and we can see many students throw rubbish to everywhere they want. This may indicate there is something wrong with students’ qualities. There must be a lot of other problems exist in china’s higher education, for example, the high tuition fee, the improper system, the ruleless manage, and so on. But because china’s higher education is in the process of change from “elite education” to “popular education”, the cultivation of students’ abilities, qualities, and even more important, the sense of responsibility to the society is becoming more and more important. This will affect china’s future society in a large extent. So we must do our best, and overcome all the difficulties to solve this problem firstly.

Story of Regret There was this guy who believed very much in true love and decided to take his time to wait for his right girl to appear.He believed that here would definitely be someone special out there for him,but none came. Every year at Christmas,his ex-girlfriend would return from Vancouver to look him up.He was aware that she still held some hope of rekindling[1] the past romance with him.He did not wish to mislead her in any way.So he would always get one of his girl friends to pose as his steady whenever she came back. That went on for several years and each year,the guy would get a different girl to pose as his romantic interest.So whenever the ex-girlfriend came to visit him,she would be led into believing that it was all over between her and the guy. The girl took all those rather well,often trying to casually tease[2] him about his different girl friends,or so,as it seemed!In fact,the girl often wept in secret whenever she saw him with another girl,but she was too pround to admit it.Still,every Christmas,she returned,hoping to rekindle some form of romance.But each time,she returned to Vancouver feeling disappointed. Finally she decided that she could not play that game any longer.Therefore,she confronted him and professed[3] that after all those years,he was still the only man that she has ever loved.Although the guy knew of her feelings for him,he was still taken aback and had never expected her to react that way.He always thought that she would slowly forget about him over time and come to terms that it was all over between them.Although he was touched by her undying love for him and wanted so much to accept her again,he remembered why he rejected her in the first place---she was not the one he wanted.So he hardened his heart and turned her down cruelly.Since then,three years had passed and the girl never returned anymore.They never even wrote to each other.The guy went on with his life... still searching for the one but somehow deep inside him he missed the girl. On the Christmas of 1995,he went to his friend's party alone."Hey,how come all alone this year?Where are all your girl friends?What happened to that Vancouver babe who joins you every Christmas?"asked one of his friends.He felt warm and comforted by his friend's queries[4] about her,still he just surged[5] on. Then,he came upon one of his many girl friends whom he once requested to pose as his steady.He wanted so much to ignore her...not that he was impolite,but because at that moment,he just didn't feel comfortable with those girl friends anymore.It was alomst like he was being judged by them.The girl saw him and shouted across the floor for him.Unable to avoid her,he went up to acknowledge her. "Hi...how are you?Enjoying the party?" the girl asked. "Sure...yeah!" he replied. She was slightly tipsy[6]... must be from the whiskey on her hand.She continued,"why...?Don't you need someone to pose as your girlfriend this year?" Then he answered,"No,there is no need for that anymore..." Before he could continue,he was interrupted,"oh yes!Must have found a girlfriend!You haven't been searching for one for the past years,right?" The man looked up,as if he has struck gold,his face beamed and looked directly at the drunken girl.He replied,"Yes...you are right!I haven't been looking for anyone for the past years." With that,the man darted[7] across the floor and out the door,leaving the lady in much bewilderment[8].He finally realized that he had already found his dream girl,and she was...the Vancouver girl all along!The drunken lady has said something that awoken him. All along he had found his girl.That was why he did not bother to look further when he realized she was not coming back.It was not any special girl he was seeking！It was perfection that he wanted,and yes...perfection! Realizing that he had let away someone so important in his life,he decided to call her immediately.His whole mind was flooded with fear.He was afraid that she might have found someone new or no longer had the same feelings anymore...For once,he felt the fear of losing someone. As it was Christmas eve,the line was quite hard to get through,especially an overseas call.He tried again and again,never giving up.Finally,he got through...precisely at 12:00 midnight.He confessed his love for her and the girl was moved to tears.It seemed that she never got over him!Even after so long,she was still waiting for him,never giving up. He was so excited to meet her and to begin his new chapter of their lives.He decided to fly to Vancouver to join her.It was the happiest time of their lives!But their happy time was short-lived.Two days before he was supposed to fly to Vancouver,he received a call from her father.She had a head-on[9] car collision[10] with a drunk driver.She passed away after 6 hours in a coma[11]. The guy was devastated[12],as it was a complete loss.Why did fate play such cruel games with him?He curses the heaven for taking her away from him,denying even one last look at her!How cruel he cursed!How he hated himself...for taking so long to realize his mistake!!That was in 1996.
