Turning Trash into Treasure I always that someone’s trash is somebody else’s treasure. Turning trash to treasure is true recycling or even better upcycling which describes a process of converting waste or unwanted materials into new materials or products of a better quality or a higher environmental value.

Se7en
This movie is brilliantly dark and superbly acted. I haven't seen horror movies that have left me this terrified by the end. The movie sticks with you in your thoughts and it is truly unforgettable. The plot keeps you hooked until the most terrifying, gut-wrenching final moments you will ever see. It is scary because it uses your imagination against you and messes with the viewer on a much, much deeper level. If you could describe "Se7en", dark, black, dreary, and claustrophobic would come up. Whether those attributes apply to how "Se7en" looks or what its about, it works. For example, this film's themes are very dark and delve into a realm unseen within the shadows, but at the same time, almost every scene is littered with black and gray colors with tints of blue. The storytelling is highly engaging, and though there is a lack of heart and character development, the premise of the narrative is too intriguing to regard the movie as a soulless picture. Yeah, I admit the film takes a while to hook the audience in, but once it grabs hold, it won't let go till the credits roll. However, one major thing that detracted me from the overall experience was how the film as a whole, was rendered to be entertainment. Everything had a very, "This is a Hollywood movie, not a real-life film" vibe. Plus, the sub-plot involving Gwyneth Paltrow was uninteresting and predictable. In conclusion, Se7en is a near perfect movie. Sure, the pacing can be a bit slow at times but this is still an amazing crime drama and I think that this is one of the best crime movies ever made. It will keep you on the edge of your seat the entire time and it contains one of the best finales to a movie ever. I understand why some people disliked this movie but none of the reasons affect my opinion of this movie and I think that it is a must-watch for everyone as long as you don't mind realistic violence and gore.
Peach blossom girl
It’s a sunny morning,Daisy was walking along a bank.After having gone a certain distance,she suddenly came upon a peach grove which extended along the bank for about a hundred of yards.Daisy noticed with surprise that grove had a magic effect,so she advanced further,in the hope of discovering how far the woods extended.It ended at the streams source,where stood a hill.A small cave cut into the hill and a faint light can be seen from within.Then Daisy entered the cave.The cave was dark and crowded.Daisy was scared to continue.Suddenly a voice entered into her ears,it was a boy who was reciting a poem,Daisy tried her best to hear the poem clearly:Peach blossom may have fallen,but they will bloom again.The sound made her feel at ease.So she decided to advance.At first,it was very narrow.There is only room for one person to pass,but after forty or fifty yards she found herself in the open air. The place she had come to was a wide expanse of level fields,with houses and cottages.The farmers there were working and dogs and chicks were running about.The dresses of the men and women were like those of the outside world,and the old men and children appeared very happy and contented.A boy in the field was holding a book and reciting something.He was greatly astonished to see Daisy,and then he said:”Good morning!Where did you come from?”Daisy answered:Hi, my name is Daisy,nice to see you.I’m a college student from Qingdao.This morning,I climbed the mountain with my friends,but I lost my way when I was detailed to look for water.”The boy surprised at her first and then he smiled at Daisy,”Nice to meet you,I’m Qin.”The boy invited Daisy to his home to have a rest.The house was built by the river and surrounded with grass and flowers.There was a thriving orchard behind the house.The birds were flying about and twittering with delight.“Who was the lady,Qin?”A woman went out of the house and asked the boy.“Her name is Daisy,she lost her way and couldn’t find her friends.So I took her back to home.I think we should make a meal for her.”Qin said.“OK!Welcome to my home,you are really a lovely girl.You can have a rest or go around with Qin,I’m going to cook at once.What kind of food do you like?Peppery taste or sweet tasty?”The lady said enthusiastically.“You are too generous,thank you so much.The food whatever you can.Ur,I’m sorry,but I really want a cup of water......”Daisy was surprised to find the people in this outside word are so friendly and warm heart.It is strange that Daisy felt familiar with the people here.Qin took her around and showed the beautiful scenery for her.When they walked around along the river,Daisy was astonished to find that peach forest disappeared without a trace instead of a dense grass.She even couldn’t find the direction when she came here just now.Then she asked Qin:”Did you notice there is a peach grove behind the village?”Qin answered:”It never has peach grove there.About six hundred years ago,our ancestors had come here as refugees to escape from the war,and they planted thousands of peaches around the village to hide their trace.However the peach forest was drowned in the great floods.Because of that flood,the daughter of the head of our ancestor disappeared and never came back again.From then on no matter how hard my ancestors tried,the peaches would never sprout.”Suddenly Qin’s face darkened and he looked at Daisy in incredulous:”Did you ever see the peach forest when you come here?”Qin asked.“Yes,I did.I went here along the peach grove.”After hearing the answer,Qin took her back to the village head’s home and told him what happened on the girl.The village head was amazed and panic,he said:”You are the orphan of our ancestor!six hundred years ago,you were playing in the peach forest when the forest was drowned by the heavily flood suddenly.Then you never came back again.And your ancestor have said that if you would come back to your home again,something unusual will happen.”Daisy recalled that she loved peach blossom so much,and her friends always say that she has the scent of peach blossom.When she first came into the mountain,she also thought the peach grove had a magic effect......Abruptly,the level of river was arising and mud rock coming here quickly.The minute when the girl turning her head,thousands of peaches were growing up.It was the peach forest that prevent the attack of the flood and saved the whole village.However the villagers found that Daisy was crushed into the forest and disappeared completely.Daisy was woke up by her friend.”Daisy,wake up!Now we are reaching the destination.Get off the bus immediately.We will star our trip!”Daisy looked at her confused.“It’s said that there is a secret place hidden in the mountain,which surrounded by thousands of peaches.And some villagers live in seclusion to wait for a girl.Did you hear any stories about this?”Her friend talked happily.Daisy looked at the deep of the mountain absent-minded.Then a similar voice entered to her ears,it was a boy who was reciting a poem:Peach blossom may have fallen,but they will bloom again......
A book report about The Kite Runner
The Kite Runner was published in 2003,and it was the first novel published in English by an author from Afghanistan. The author of the book is Khaled Hosseini,who born in 1964 in Kabul,then with his father fled to the United State. Hosseini graduated from the University of California,San Diego Department of medicine,now living in California licensed. The Kite Runner tells the story of Amir,a well-to -do Pashtun boy from the Wazir Akbar district of Kabul,who is haunted by the guilt of betraying his childhood friend Hassan,the son if his father's Hazara servant. The story is set against a backdrop of tumultuous events,from the fall of the monarchy in Afghanistan through the Soviet invasion,the mass exodus of refugee to Pakistan and the United State,and the Taliban regime. I am convinced that a few books are as good as this one. To be honest, I hadn't maintained that this book would appeal to me before I read it. Why this has appealed to me that much? At first,the friendship in this book fascinated me.To the world you are one person,but to the person who loves you,you are the world. So the friendship between Hassan and Amir moved me. Secondly,owing to this book let me know a suffered ravaged unknown to the public of the Afghan nation. People in that district are lost in death and fear,then I think I should cherish life,cherish time and treasure friendship,cherish everything I have. Last but not least,The Kite Runner told the warmth and cruelty,beautiful and suffering,it not only shows a person's spiritual growth history,also shows the soul of a nation's history,a history of a country's suffering. At the same time,the book could have been better if the author gave us a clear ending whether Sohrab came into life again. However,I'm sure that love can cure everything. I believe all the people who read it is going to be touched just as I am. This book does make me think the good and the bad,what's wrong and what's right,the cruelty of war. Few can exert an influence on people nowadays,this book sure does.
It's a new beginning,and I want to be a batter man.
Just now, I wanted to pass a picture from my computer,unfortunately,the BLOG can't do it. so I talk to myself that the BLOG is so lagging....... But I have the chance to write my first blog sincerely. Though I am an English major and have been learning English for almost 2 years,my English writing is still unprofessional,which makes me feel embarrassed. Maybe I am not suitable for this major,after all I like the science of law very much. But I didn't regret to choose the English as my college major,I always believe that if u did something seriously u can make success in the future.Last week,I take an exam about CHINESE TOUR GUIDE,it was not difficult for me,because I was a student of liberal arts,remembering knowledge points is my advantages. However,as the old saying goes:Pride goes before a fall. I don't mean that i didn't pass this exam,the fact is that before I took this examination,I still had so many key points which I didn't remember. I thought i can remember all the key points and finish a lot of texts before the formal examination----because i am good at remembering things. Never fight without preparation.At last,I want to share my motto with u:Opportunities always for those who are well prepared.If u want to be a better man,too,do it now and enrich yourself,then u will have more chances to be successful.this picture makes me feel comfortable.
