古希臘思想家柏拉圖

古希臘思想家柏拉圖認為理想的人生就是追求真實，但真實是存在於觀念世界。　　

柏拉圖認為，幸福人生首先必須包含一切較真實的知識，使人接近「善觀念自身」。

囫圇吞棗

注解 : 囫圇：完整，整個。

釋義 : 把棗兒整顆吞下去。比喻讀書時不加分析地籠統接受。

語源 : 元．白珽《湛淵靜語》：有個自作聰明的人，聽說梨和棗子的藥性是“梨益齒而損脾，棗益脾而損齒”。他想了一會，就得意地說：“我明白了！以後吃梨時，只嚼不咽；吃棗的時候，只咽不嚼。那就既不傷牙齒，亦不傷脾胃。”

旁人笑道：“吃梨只嚼不咽還可以，吃棗卻難了，囫圇吞棗，怎麼受得了呢？”

例子 : 讀書過程中要講究消化和吸收，不能囫圇吞棗。
感情色彩: 貶義。
異形 : 鶻侖吞棗｜渾淪吞棗
近義 : 不求甚解｜生吞活剝
反義 : 含英咀華｜細嚼慢咽｜融會貫通________________________________________________________
***
1. “囫圇”是連綿詞，不要拆開理解，所以也寫 作“鶻 侖”或“渾淪”。
2. 主要起描寫和修飾作用。

木馬屠城記故事

木馬屠城記是歷史, 大約發生在西元前13世紀

大約在西元前13世紀 , 位於希臘半島上的其中一個城邦-斯巴達。出現了一位名叫海倫的絕色美人 , 希臘各城邦的皇親國戚皆展開猛烈追求。最後..由斯巴達的王子成功得到美人芳心 , 兩人隨即結為夫婦。

一天斯巴達城來了一位名叫帕里斯的客人，此人原來是與斯巴達隔海相望位於小亞細亞西岸的特洛伊王子，悲劇就在這時開始了...已身為人妻的海倫竟然對帕里斯一見鐘情，更斗敢地跟他回到特洛伊城去。

當斯巴達王子知道此事後覺得是個奇恥大辱 , 怒不可遏地請求國王為他報仇。於是國王馬上召開會議 , 邀請了整個希臘申出援手。最後由各大小城邦所組成的聯合軍 , 以消滅特洛伊為目的浩浩蕩蕩地出發了。

然而 , 特洛伊亦非只會搶奪女人。經過整整十年的作戰 , 希臘軍始終未能攻下特洛伊城，這時希臘軍滿佈海上的戰艦 , 圍繞四周的大軍 , 突然全數撤退。特洛伊人以為已經得到了勝利 , 粉粉走出城外。

卻在此刻 , 在淺灘上發現了本故事的主角 - 巨大的木馬。他們並不知道這是什麼 , 更不會知道其真正的用途。因此特洛伊國王便盤問了在近處捉來的一個希臘人，希臘人告訴國王...""那木馬是希臘軍用來祭祀女神雅典娜的，希臘人估計特洛伊會將之燒毀 , 激努雅典娜 , 惹禍上身；但相反地 , 如果將之拉回城中則會帶來好運，所以才把木馬做得那麼大讓特洛伊人無法拉動。

國王深信了希臘人的說話。於是...木馬就被拉回正在慶祝戰勝的特洛伊城中。到了晚上 , 全城上下都已經飲得大醉了、那個希臘人原來是個間諜。他走到木馬旁邊 , 輕輕的敲了三下作為暗號；之後，藏於木馬中的希臘士兵不費吹灰之力..走到城牆處殺死了全部守軍 , 打開了城門並點火示意隱藏於城外的希臘大軍進城。

最後 , 希臘軍將特洛伊城的大部份男子殺死，女子及小孩則全數賣為奴隸

更火燒了整個特洛伊城 , 將之從歷史的舞台中完全驅逐，這就是著名的木馬屠城記。

而羅馬的建國者 - 羅慕路斯，正是當時從特洛伊逃亡出來的人的後代。

THE LORD'S PRAYER

Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us,
and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.

In this petition we return to Him as a prodigal son and begin our confession as sinners and need of mercy. Our hope is firm for in his Son, we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. There is a condition here: this mercy can only fill our hearts if we have forgiven those who have trespassed against us!

Remember the verses that follow the Our Father in Matthew: For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses (Matthew 6:14-15). Pope John Paul ll reminds us: "Forgiveness is the key to peace!"

And lead us not into temptation

This petition asks God not to allow us to take the path that leads to sin. This petition implores the Spirit for discernment and strength in the battle between flesh and spirit. The Holy Spirit makes us discern between trials, necessary for the growth of the inner man, and temptation, which leads to sin and death. Discernment unmasks the lie of temptation. This petition also requests the grace of vigilance and final perseverance.

But deliver us from evil

This last petition to our Father is included in the prayer of Jesus, and we pray in communion with the Church for the deliverance of the whole human family. Evil is not an abstraction but a person, satan, the evil one, the deceiver of the world. Victory over the prince of this world was won once and for all at the Hour when Jesus freely gave himself up to death to give us his life. Along with the deliverance from the evils that overwhelm humanity, the Church implores the precious gift of peace and the grace of perseverance in expectation of Christ's return.

傑出的數學老師

我教的是英文科，但我校最出色的科目，並不是語言科目，而是數學科，原因與校長鼓勵，教學應該多些訓練同學的腦筋，以及有一位傑出的數學老師古先生有關。學校每星期都會舉行各項數學活動，以提升同學們對數學科的興趣。

英文科雖然有別於數學，但古老師的積極做法，卻有很多值得我們借鏡的地方。最近我校同學們首次參加校際比賽即能奪獎而回，為打造未來數學天才，踏出很重要的一步。今年我校首次參加小學數學比賽，即奪得團體賽及個人賽多項冠軍，實在令人鼓舞。

古老師並不居功，他稱讚同學們能夠發揮他們的潛質，今次的優異成績，除了帶來驚喜外，亦足以證明學校平日的訓練成果。原來校方定期舉辦多項有關數學的活動，以提高學生的學習興趣，以及足夠的比賽經驗。頻密的活動包括數學科攤位遊戲，數學科專題講座，數學科短講等，由老師負責領導，輔以邀請外間數學名人作嘉賓。

由學生負責的則有數學百萬富翁遊戲，以及數學一分鐘等，而在小息及中午飯息時間，也沒有放過，設有趣味數學活動。同時，學校設有心算班，奧林匹克數學班及微積分班等，讓同學提高這方面的知識。

古老師對比賽興趣濃厚，認為是學生實力及應付壓力的檢驗，他們會繼續參與競賽，希望取得更佳成績，培養更多數學人才，及為學校增光。古老師推廣數學的方法，除了密集的活動外，活學活用數學也是手法之一，他會出趣味題目予學生 及家長，叫做別被數學考起，其中兩題如下：題一，蘋果的數目是橙的5倍少兩個，而蘋果的數目又 較橙多30個，問蘋果有多少個？

題二，甲店原稿紙的售價，是10.9元80張，而乙店原稿紙的售價，則為8元50張，要選擇較便宜的一間，應選擇甲店抑或乙店，何解？

古老師說，這是中學代數中二元一次方的題目，題一的算式如下：A代表蘋果、B代表橙。A=5B-2； A-B=30。因此，5B-2-B=30，得出B=8，正是橙的數目，因此蘋果數目為38個。

至於題二，將甲店的原稿紙價錢固定，將乙店的原稿紙數目提升至同為80張，便可作出比較。算式 為8元=50張，X元=80張，得出X=12.8，乙店的售價較甲店的昂貴。這一類實用的心算題，多做便不會有困難，遇到時也不會怯場了。

Festival

There are two main types of festivals existing in Hong Kong. The westernised one like the Christmas and Easter. The other one oriented from China, like the Mid-Autumn, Chung-Ming and Dragon-boat festival.

They can both sustain since Hong Kong is a special region having a mixing culture of east and west. Besides that, people here enjoy life, they welcome more holidays, buying and exchange of gifts, holding parties and eating outsides.

On the other hands, festival like the Chinese Ghost festival is replacing by Holloween of western, the life style of youngesters are different from the elderlies.

Why do some traditional customs festivals sustain modern Hong Kong society while other don't? Reflection:100 words

For example:mid-autumn festival chung-yung festival dragon boat festival christmas easter motherday , this festivals still sustain , because people enjoy life, parties, gifts,gathering,nice food , this six festivals can content them but some festival can't content them For example:Hong Kong festival(香港節) this festivals didn't sustain in modern Hong Kong because this festivals exhibition two time before 1971 and 1973 but the second time to compare the first time, 但規模比第一屆為小, 市民的踴躍程度亦大為減低。加上香港政府也認為香港節已經達到其成效，故此之後便再沒有舉辦。( help me to translate into english)but the main reason it didn't sustain in Modern Hong Kong because this festivals didn't have Holiday!!!that's why some traditornal customs festivals sustain modern Hong Kong society while other don't

question 1

The character I like most in the film is the smatest girl in the class, Summer , she is the class captain and the band manager, I like her because of 2 reasons, the first reason is being a manager needed to do a lot of things like arranging the jobs to the group mates, she has to set up the rehearal timetable, she has to arrange for the transportation of mucical instructment,etc thats mean being a manager is very tough, so Summer is really the smartest gril. The second reason is I have a lot of similar thing, the similar thing is
