1.The Great Wall（长城）
The Great Wall was built in ancient China.It is the world’s longest human-made structure, about 6000 kilometers long.As one of the Eight Wonders in the world, the Great Wall has become the symbol of the Chinese nation(中华民族).A Chinese saying(谚语)goes like this,“ You are not a true man until you get to the Great Wall.”(不到长城非好汉)
Lots of beautiful stories about the Great Wall took place during its construction,such as Meng Jiangnu’s story.Meng Jiangnu was a beautiful woman.Meng’s husband was caught by government and sent to build the Great Wall.She missed her husband very much after he was taken away.she decided to set off to look for him.Unfortunately, by the time she reached the great wall, she found that her husband had already died.Hearing the bad news, she burst into tears(流泪).Her howl([haul]嚎哭)caused the collapse([kə’læps] 倒塌)of a part of the Great Wall.2.The Terracotta([‘tɛrə’kɑtə]陶)Army(兵马佣)
The Terracotta Army was known as the greatest discoveries of the 20th centuries in china.It is located in Xi’an, a historical and cultural city ofNorthwest China.The Terracotta Army had lain underground for more than 2000 years before it was discovered in 1974.Itis a part of Emperor Qin Shihuang’s Mausoleum([mɔsə’liəm]陵墓).Qin Shihuang was the first emperor([‘ɛmpərɚ]皇帝)of a united China.He wanted to build a special tomb to show he was the greatest emporor.So he made two million workers to dig four holes and put many statues（[‘stætʃu] 雕像）of soidiers,horses and war-coaches(战车)into the holes.The anciant Chinese people thought the “Army” can protect the emporor in his afterlife.（古代中国人认为那些军队可以在秦始皇死后继续保护他）
Every year,many visitors from China and other contries come to visit The Terracotta Army Museum.In 1998,the former（[‘fɔrmɚ]前任的）U.S.President Bill Clinton(美国前总统克林顿)together with his wife Hilary（希拉里）and daughter visited Terracotta Army Museum.Bill Clinton said he wished he could be the curator([kju’retɚ] 馆长)of the Terracotta Army Museum.（克林顿说他多么希望能是兵马俑博物馆的馆长）
3.The Four Great Inventions
As we all know,The Compass(指南针),Gunpowder(火药),Papermaking,and Printing are our Chinese great inventions.Our ancestors([‘ænsɛstɚ]祖先)created them by their own mind and hand.These inventions not only have an effect on our daily life,but also contribute to the culture all aroud world.（这些发明不仅仅影响我们的日常生活，同时也对全世界作出了贡献）
But which is the most useful and practical invention to us? I think the compass is more important than the others.Because of it,we can know our country,our world.With the help of the compass, Columbus（[kə’lʌmbəs]哥伦布）found the new land.With the help of it,we know that the earth is like a ball.Having the compass,we can see the earth clearly.We can say that without the invention of the compass,there can not be a colourful world.(我们可以说没有指南针的发明，就不会有这个丰富多彩的世界)
4.Shanghai 2010 World Exposition([ekspə’ziʃən]博览会)
One year ago ,Shanghai 2010 World Expo was held in our country.The World Expo has a long history but it had never been held in a developing country（发展中国家）before.As a chinese,I felt very proud（[praud]自豪）.In my opinion, the Expo was a large and grand ceremonies.I like China Pavilion（[pə’viljən]中国馆）best.China Pavilion was designed in the style of traditional Chinese architecture（中国馆设计成传统中国建筑风格）.Ithas a
distinctive roofwhichlooks like a crown.So China Pavilion is called “oriental crown” as well.Its main colour is red which represents the spirit of Chinese culture.The theme（[θim] 主题）of the Expo was “Better City, Better Life”（城市让生活更美好）.It provided china with an important chance(它给中国提供了一个重要机遇).Great changes have taken place in china and more and more people throughout the world are focusing（focus [‘fokəs] 聚焦）their attention on china now.（中国发生了巨大变化，越来越多来自世界各地的人将眼光聚焦于中国）

当今世界的竞争是人才的竞争。因此，党中央决定从海外我们的留学生中，从香港、澳门、台湾吸收和利用人才来加强我们在世界上的竞争能力。引进这些人才的重点是那些开放程度越来越大、竞争越来越激烈的部门，比如说银行、保险等行业，以及国有大型企业的管理层。
In today’s world, competition among states is mainly a competition among talented professionals.Therefore, it is a decision adopted by the CPC Central Committee to fully absorb and make use of the talented people among our overseas students and among the professionals in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan.This will help us strengthen our competitive edge.The departments that would introduce talented people from outside are those that are exposed to increasingly fierce competition and that are open wider to the outsider world, such as banking, insurance industry, large state-owned enterprises, etc.段落翻译2

中国人使用筷子就餐的方式在世界上独树一帜。有史记载用筷的历史已有三千多年。筷子古时称为箸，它看似简单，但却同时具有夹、拨、挑、扒、拌、撮、戳、撕等多种功能。中国民间视筷子为吉祥之物，如婚俗中将筷子隐喻为快生贵子的祝福等。与使用刀叉以及手抓的方式不同，成双结对的筷子含有“和为贵“的意蕴。西方人赞誉筷子是古老的东方文明。
The Chinese way of eating with chopsticks is unique in the world.The recorded history of chopsticks started more than three thousand years ago.Chopsticks were named Zhu in ancient Chinese.They look deceptively simple to use, but possess multi-various functions, such as clamping, turning over, lifting up, raking, stirring, scooping, poking, tearing, and so on.Chopsticks were taken as an auspicious mascot by ordinary people in ancient China.For example, the partial tone of chopsticks is often used by people as a metaphor at weddings to indicate a blessing or benediction for the couple to have a baby soon.Unlike using a knife and fork or one’s own hands, a pair of chopsticks also implies the meaning of “harmony is what matters”.Chopsticks are highly praised by Westerners as a hallmark of ancient oriental civilization.段落翻译4
