　　《西游记》(Journey to the West)是中国四大名著之一。16世纪90年代，明朝时期，《西游记》匿名出版，虽然没有现存证据直接证明该书作者，但20世纪以来，人们一直认为作者是学者吴承恩。这部小说是关于唐朝佛教和尚玄奘，为取得佛教经书(Buddhist scriptures)，前往印度的朝圣之旅。观音菩萨(the Bodhisattva Guanyin)受佛祖指令，将西行取经的任务交给玄奘和三个负责保护玄奘的徒弟—孙悟空、猪八戒、沙悟净，还有一个龙太子变做玄奘的坐骑。这四人同意帮助玄奘西行，也是为他们犯下的罪行进行忏悔。 Qy ; M:q

　　春运(Spring rush)的产生主要来自中国人的传统观念及社会人力大量流动的情况。在中国，春节是一年中最重要的传统节日，无论离家有多远，人们都要尽量在除夕时与家人团聚，共度新春。自改革开放以来,人口流动开始日益频繁。有非常多的人进城打工，造成了人力的大量流动。此外，这段时间是大学放寒假时期，多数学校在春节前两到三周开始放假，在正月十五左右开学，因此返家的学生也构成了春运的另一主要人群。 [|U

【全球气候变暖】 P0$q{ j

　　Global warming, a natural phenomenon,has been aheated topic in recent years. Global warming willredistribute global rainfall, make glacier andpermafrost melt and sea level rise, which not onlydoes harm to the balance of natural ecosystem, butalso threats human's food supply and livingenvironment. It's interesting that global warming is bad for some places but good for otherregions. For example, because temperature in cold areas in Antarctic and Arctic goes up,glacier will melt, thus making the habitat of animals decrease. While in the northeast ofChina, becoming warm means being able to plant grains of winter, thus raising agriculturalrevenue. h 88iZK

　　全球气候变暖是近年来全球一直热议的话题,是一种“自然现象”。全球变暧会使全球降水量重新分配，冰川(glacier)和冻土(permafrost)消融，海平面上升等，既危害自然生态系统的平衡，更威胁人类的食物供应和居住环境。有一个有趣的现象，就是全球变暧对有些地区是坏事，而对其他地区却是好事，比如，南北极的寒冷地区由于温度升高，导致冰川融化，动物栖息地减少。而在中国东北地区，天气变暖意味着可以种植冬季农作物，从而增加农业收入。 -;T>4B=

　　空气质量不仅关乎人类的生存质量，而且也影响着地球上其他的生物。因此我们要自觉保护环境，不断改善空气质量，努力提高人类生活水平。随着工业及交通运输业的不断发展，大量的有害物质被排放到空气中，使人们的健康受到威胁。因此，防治大气污染、控制污染排放就显得尤为重要。植物能过滤掉(filter out)各种大气污染物和净化空气，森林尤为显著，所以绿化造林(afforestation)是防治大气污染的比较经济有效的措施。 2c0eh-Gf

　　There has been an old maxim“Cultivate the mind,and then regulate the femily, state and world”sinceancient China.Regulating the family refers to gettingmarried and starting one's career.However, gettingmarried cannot come true without ahouse.Therefore,it is deeply rooted in Chinese people's mind that house is an important signalof home and gives them a sense of belonging.The importance attached to house makes houseboth a symbol of living environment and a symbol of individual status.The deeply rootedtraditional concept and strong sense of belonging attract many loyal and persistent people inthe city to join the group which struggles to buy a house.You could say the soaring price ofhouse in China is closely related to Chinese people's idea about house.

　　中国自古就有“修身、齐家、治国、平天下”的古训(maxim)。齐家指的便是成家立业，成家不能没有自己的一套房子。因此，房子成为中国人有家、有归属感的重要标志，并深人人心。房子在人们观念中的重要地位，使得房子不仅仅是居住环境的体现，更是个人身份的体现。根深蒂固的传统观念和强烈的的家的归属感，吸引着都市生活中这样一群忠实而又执着的“买房族”。也可以说，中国的房价之所以一路飙升与中国人的购房观念是密不可分的。 AV&W&$

　　中国过西方节日的人越来越多了，不同年龄层次的人都有，以年轻人居多。目前，全球化是现代世界的趋势，不仅仅是经济全球化，文化全球化也是其中重要的一部分，也是无法避免的。中国节日强调的是文化意义，集体意识。西方节日强调人与人之间以及每个人内心的体验，例如感恩节(Thanksgiving Day)是唤起人与人之间良好的社会关系、唤起自强不息的民族意识的节日。这样的节日很好地补充了我们国家的节日。这是文化差异，没有好坏之分。 pK$^@~DE
