Youth is not a time of
life,it is a state of mind,it is not a matter of rosy cheeks,red
lips and supple knees.It is a matter of the will,a quality of
imagination,a vigor of the emotions ,it is the freshness of the
deep spring of life.
Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage
over timidity,of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease.
This often exits in a man of 60,more than a boy of 20.Nobody grows
merely by the number of years,we grow old by deserting our
ideas.Yeas may wrinkle the skin,but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles
the soul.Worry,fear,self-distrust bows the heart and turns the
spirit back to dust.
Whether 60 or 16,there is in every human being's heart
the lure of wonders ,the unfailing childlike appetite of what's
next and the joy of the game of living.In the center of your heart
and my heart there is a wireless station:so long as it

The U.S.
primary election
The primaries are vital and important part of
America’s democratic process. Unfortunately, many people skip the
primary election and only vote in the general election. However,
did they really understand what the primary election is and why it
exists?
The primary election is to see who will
receive the nomination from his or her political party during the
convention and also to vote for delegates to the national
conventions during the primary election. The candidate and
delegates are selected at the state lev

The
election process of U.S. constitution
The United States is the first nation
which has adopted Democracy. The election process of the nation is
the most complicated one all over the world: nomination for the
candidates of the president; public introduction of every
candidate’s own political administration and the political opinion
of their parties; the appointment of electors; electors’ votes for
a president. It lasts for more than one year, just like a political
marathon, isn’t it? In my personal point of view, the U.S. election
is full of justice and democracy.
I agree most of article 2 section 1 of
the U.S constitution which tells us the election process in detail.
There are so many advantages in the pr

A glimpse at Beijing
Beijing holds her own fascination for
most people. She mixed modern elements with ancient history and
culture. The Forbidden City lies in the center, weathering the
storm of royal family in hundreds of years; The Bird’s Nest Stadium
is located in the north, exhibiting the creativity and fashion of
Beijing; Tiantan Park sits in the south, chanting the prayer for
peace and harvest; Zhongguancun, the first high-tech industrial
zones is situated in the west, rejuvenating the whole country
through science and education; Central Business District (CBD) is
in the east, creating a new ages of International trade. All of
them are the landmarks of Beijing and they are in harmony with each
other.
Shishahai Park is the epitome of how
modern elements are in harmony with traditional history and
culture. Sh

圣诞节那天，借来土豆的手机，去葡韵看花展。之前天气都是阴蒙蒙的，难得有一个阳光明媚的下午，骑车去看花展。
前几天持续的降温，花都有些凋谢了，韦浩治说，Jane（student life
center
来的一个新朋友，来自泰国，是Jenni的高中同学，今天晚上九点的飞机，回泰国）来的那天，他们一起去看花展，那时的花开的才叫壮烈！而我只是抓住了花展的尾巴，赶上了末班车^
在北京的时候基本上是不过圣诞的，“过”的意思决不仅仅停留在发几张贺卡，几条短信相互祝福上。似乎只有在商场里才能稍微抓住些圣诞的影子，可那都是为促销而烘托出的一种气氛。真正了解圣诞含义的又有几个呢？我庆幸在自己十一月底开始去了student
life center,让我真正体验了一下到底什么是圣诞。
帮忙装饰圣诞树，七八个人围着一棵树，将各式各样爱不释手的小东西挂在树上；排演关于圣诞节来历的英语短剧，两次选了两个角色；亲手装饰圣诞节饼干，在一个圣诞树形状的饼干上涂上绿色的奶油，随意搭配一些糖粉；还有那个投圣诞贺卡的小游戏（我最多也只进了三个）和问卷游戏……

一个男巫变成了火柴人，要一个女孩的吻才能恢复原形，后来他认识了一个公主，这个公主陪他玩了一个冬天，她觉得很冷，于是火柴人就把自己的擦燃，公主还是觉得冷，他就把自己的脚也擦燃。公主还是觉得冷，问他你能不能把你的头也给我取暖呢。火柴就把头也擦燃了，说：“我知道我做什么你都不会爱上我的……”这时候他的头被烧尽了，公主流泪了……这是我的吉他老师自己编的剧，在公主流泪的时候他写了一段非常好听的音乐
咳，想做一个付出不求回报的人，阿龙（我的吉他老师）说现在这样的男孩子肯为爱付出的几乎没有了，我想其实这样的女孩也不多了……大家更多的都是想着回报，其实我觉得有的时候施比受福，不论是爱情还是友情或亲情都如此。昨天他们问这样做值吗，我说，人对了就值，我是这么觉得的。
“没想到你的手居然这么小，手指胖嘟嘟的也不长。咦？你的手心怎么这么红啊？……”一次和朋友聊天，她一定要和我比手。我伸出手，再一次听到了这样的评论。
从小到大，没有人称赞我的手长的美。的确，我也曾因为它的丑陋而羞于和别人比手。然而，这一次再听完朋友委婉的评论后，我问自己：“我的手真的丑吗？”
从另一方面来说，我的手一点儿也不丑。它能帮我在母亲生病的时候捧上一份可口的饭菜；它能在纸上画出一只呼之欲出的维尼熊；它绣出的图画，折出的小星星作为生日礼物，会让朋友收到后欣喜不已；它让我在球场上更好的控球，配合队员，赢得一次又一次的比赛；它更让我在汽车逼近的时候，搀扶耳目不灵光的老奶奶过马路……
说到美手，我想到了影片《赌神》中一位姑娘，她那双手自幼每天在牛奶里浸泡，她不用帮忙做家务，只是每天练习如何在赌桌上用一根头发丝偷牌，既而让对方倾家荡产。没有人不称赞她的手举世无双，然而，她的那双手真的美吗？
同时，远在澳门的我又想到了母亲那双长了色
一开始，我对澳门的印象似乎只停留在1999 12
20这一串数字上，记得暑假看到去年科大分班考试的作文题为：“澳门新马路上散步。”我竟天真地以为“新马路”的意思是新的马路，结果被老妈嘲笑了一个晚上。三个月来，我不敢说对澳门有了多深的了解，只想和大家分享一下我心中的澳门。
澳门没有北京的大气，香港的摩登，苏杭的清秀。白天的澳门土里土气的，可一到晚上，澳门这个灰姑娘穿上灯火这双水晶鞋，便彻头彻尾的换了个样儿：灯火给威尼斯人增添了几分霸气，使观光塔变得清丽，让新葡京变得分外夺目。所以，我心中的澳门是南海上的一颗夜明珠。
每个游子都有一颗思乡的心，我自然也不例外，而我的乡愁却来得迟、来得淡。我是一个人带着三件行李从北京飞来澳门的，还好一来就适应了环境。这种适应的快乐让我无暇照顾思乡的情绪。可乡愁偶而还是会侵袭我的心。这个不速之客的不规则周期运动，让我猝不及防。于是我尽量不写思乡的文章，尽量不多往家里打电话。因为我怕一碰开强压在心头的盖子，思念会像演讲一样喷溢出来……后来我发现，我发现停止思乡的最好办法就是拼命的爱上这座城市
