The Bridge
BY
Shel Silverstein

This bridge will only take you halfway there
To those mysterious lands you long to see:
Through gypsy camps and swirling Arab fairs
And moonlit woods where unicorns run free.
So come and walk awhile with me and share
The twisting trails and wondrous worlds I've known.
But this bridge will only take you halfway there-
The last few steps you'll have to take alone.

The Land of Happy
BY
Shel Silverstein

Have you been to the land of happy,
Where everyone's happy all day,
Where they joke and they sing
Of the happiest things,
And everything's jolly and gay?
There's no one unhappy in Happy
There's laughter and smiles galore.
I have been to The Land of Happy-
What a bore

All the Woulda-Coulda-Shouldas
Layin' in the sun,
Talkin' 'bout the things
They woulda coulda shoulda done...
But those Woulda-Coulda-Shouldas
All ran away and hid
From one little Did.

Today English is the language of the world.

Books in our life!!!

Learning languagesThe problem of learning languages is very important today. Foreign languages are socially demanded especially at the present time when the progress in science and technology has led to an explosion of knowledge and has contributed to an overflow of information. The total knowledge of mankind is known to double every seven years. Foreign languages are needed as the main and most efficient means of information exchange of the people of our planet.Today English is the language of the world. Over 350 million people speak it as a mother tongue. The native speakers of English live in Great Britain, the United States of America, Australia and New Zealand. English is one of the official languages in the Irish Republic, Canada, the South African Republic. As a second language it is used in the former British and US colonies.It is the major international language for communication in such areas as science, technology, business and mass entertainment. English is one of the official languages of the United Nations Organization and other political organization. It is the language of the literature, education, modern music, international tourism.Russia is integrating into the world community and the problem of learning English for the purpose of communication is espicially urgent today. Learning a foreing language is not as easy thing. It is a long and slow process that takes a lot of time and patience. But to know English is absolutely necessary for every educated person, for every good specialist.It is well known that reading books in the original , listening to the BBC news, communicating with the English speaking people will help a lot. When learning a foreign language you learn the culture and history of the native speakers. One must work hard to learn any foreign language.

You Think

heart and mind

You think that you're fast enough to run

But they will catch you

You think that you're high enough to fly

But they will crush you

You think that you're safe enough to

hide

But they will find you

You think that you're strong enough to

fight

But they will beat you

Your fears and problems in life make you

feelWeak and un safe and trapped

But you should never give up hope don't

give up faith

There is always a way

the Opening Ceremony of the 2008 Olympic Games

dream house

8月8日20时，第29届奥林匹克运动会开幕式正式在国家体育场拉开帷幕。

中国国家主席、国际奥委会主席入场

国国家主席胡锦涛、国际奥委会主席雅克-罗格进入VIP贵宾席

主持人：美丽的欢迎焰火绕场一周，在鸟巢上空花朵般绽放，激活了古老的日晷。在鸟巢上方显得格外漂亮，富有太阳投射的影子来测定时间计时日期的日晷，由日晷发出的时间之光点亮了鸟巢，点亮了2008面缶组成的矩形缶阵。

倒计时：

　　主持人：一道耀眼的光环，激活了古老的日晷。独特的多媒体手段，拉开了开幕式的帷幕。日晷将光反射到场地的缶上。缶是中国古老的打击乐器，由陶土或青铜制成。早在夏、商时代，就有了“击缶而歌”的演奏。此刻它们正以光的律动向我们传递光阴的概念。和着击打声，出现巨大的数字，每次光影数字的交锋，都预示着北京奥运的每秒临近，就让我们穿越时空，一同倒数，用震撼的节奏，激荡千年祖国的万里疆土，激荡中华民族的奔腾血脉，共同迎接奥运之光的莅临。

欢迎焰火：

今夜星光灿烂，8月的中国以如火的热情诚邀八方来客，广纳四海宾朋，今夜礼花满天，仲夏的北京见证天国奇迹，铸造荣耀巅峰。

(现场主持人)欢迎中华人民共和国主席胡锦涛先生，国际奥林匹克委员会主席雅克-罗格先生。

欢迎仪式：

夜空璀璨，缶声震天，情谊无边，接下来我们将会看到一场独具中国古典艺术魅力的欢迎仪式，欢迎所有远道而来的朋友。

中国素以文明古国，礼仪之邦著称于世，几千年来不仅创造了灿烂悠久的历史文化，更形成了高尚道德准则和完整的礼仪规范。此刻，2008名乐手，一边击缶，一边高声吟诵着数千年前孔子写在论语中的名句，我们用独特的方式，表达北京最真挚的欢迎之情。欢迎所有热爱友谊与和平的朋友们来到北京，来到中国，欢迎所有热爱奥林匹克运动的朋友们来到奥林匹克大家庭。

历史足迹：

在震撼的声响中，我们惊喜地看到，由焰火组成的巨大脚印正沿着北京的中轴路穿过天安门广场直奔国家体育场而来。29个焰火脚印象征着29届奥运会的历史足迹，也意味着中国追寻奥运之梦的百年跋涉正在一步步走近，梦想成真的时刻。7年前当中国人把申办报告交给国际奥委会的时候，就把绿色奥运、科技奥运和人文奥运的承诺交给了世界。7年后，中轴路上新生的鸟巢和孕育出生的奥林匹克森林公园成为了庄严的天安门广场最欢乐的伙伴。中轴路上这三个特色鲜明的北京地标，不仅体现了北京奥运的三大理念，更连接起了北京城市的昨天和今天。

梦想五环：

此刻的鸟巢繁星点点，尤如浩瀚的星河落入人间。美丽的飞天在繁星中歌舞，唯美浪漫，如梦如幻，为奥运五环增添一抹中国色彩，为奥运五环烙印一段中国的记忆，也像美丽的梦幻在中国人心中憧憬百年。一个由星光组成的奥运五环散发着璀璨的光芒，美丽的飞天把闪光的五环托起在北京的夜空，点亮了北京的夜色，点亮了每个热爱和平、热爱友谊、热爱奥林匹克运动的人心中跃动的激情。这个璀璨的五环会让我们记住北京的星空里终于有了奥运五环的印迹，更会让全世界都记住，奥运会的记忆中从此有了中国的传奇。

国旗入场:

　　（演唱《歌唱祖国》）

一曲旋律优美的《歌唱祖国》响彻鸟巢的上空，56名各民族儿童簇拥在五星红旗的周围进入会场。

升中华人民共和国国旗，唱中华人民共和国国歌

　　现场主持人：女士们，先生们请起立，升中华人民共和国国旗，奏中华人民共和国国歌。

（奏《中华人民共和国国歌》）

当鲜艳的五星红旗迎风飘扬，绚丽的焰火绽放出古老的中国最灿烂的表情，这个夜晚属于腾飞的中国，这份喜悦属于奥运的北京。

开幕式文艺表演：《美丽的奥林匹克》上篇：《灿烂文明》

画卷：

随着一个短片的开始，我们将看到一幅跨越时空，意境优美的中国画卷，它讲述着博大厚重、意蕴悠远的中国故事，全世界的朋友都会领略优雅的东方神韵，了解悠久的中国文化，感受中国的现代魅力。

画面中呈现的是散发着中国古典韵味的文房四宝，笔墨纸砚，在清雅的古琴声中，我们看到了一幅画作产生的完整过程，纸张制作、墨墨着色，装裱成轴，今晚的故事将从这幅飘逸婀娜，变化万千的中国画卷开始。

影像中的画卷神奇地出现在场地中间，这幅长达70米的巨大卷轴在我们面前缓缓铺陈开来。琴声悠扬，水磨浸染，充满中国古典艺术的淡雅神韵。画卷上，墨迹漫卷，流淌击暖，依次呈现出演化、陶瓷、青铜器等在中国文化起源和发展过程中极具代表性的文化符号。一席黑衣的舞蹈演员来到画卷之上，用肢体做墨迹，表现中国水墨画的洒脱写意，随着舞蹈演员的动作，洁白的画纸上出现起伏回旋的墨色线条。

清雅的旋律来到这张有着一千多年的古琴，这张名为“太古遗音”的古琴在琴弦波动中，体现出中国文化底蕴的渊源流长。中国水墨画讲求以形写神，不拘泥于神似，更讲求神韵，舞蹈演员独特的肢体语言，正体现出中国水墨画特有的意趣和韵味。

此刻，画作完成，原本不存在地上的画纸，被凌空提起，一幅山峦交错，起伏连绵的水墨画呈现在眼前。

文字：

中国汉字是世界上最古老的文字之一，古老的汉字承载着中华文明久远深邃的历史，在这一篇章的表演中，我们将看到中国汉字的魅力。此刻孔子的三千弟子手持竹简高声吟诵，缓缓步入场内，《论语》中经典名句响彻耳畔。

完整的巨幅画卷中间，魔幻出现了立体活字印刷体，方板汉字凹凸起伏，不断地变化。整个活字印刷板如微风拂过，层峦叠嶂，如水波涌动，此消彼涨，充满动感的表演，将为我们呈现中国汉字的演化过程。活字印刷板中间出现了中国古代的“和”字，第二个古体的“和”字出现。此刻我们看到了现代字体的“和”，一个和字荏苒千年，发展变化，表达了孔子的人文理念和为贵，彰显出中华民族的和谐观，历史悠久，传统优良。此刻巨大的活字印刷板变化出万里长城的雄伟之姿，这座人类文明史上最伟大的建筑工程之一，是中国古代劳动人民勇气和智慧的结晶，象征中华民族坚强不屈的脊梁。

无数立体的桃花出现在活字印刷板的顶端，雄伟的长城形象被优美的桃花覆盖，让人瞬间置身于满园春色，和谐浪漫的桃花仙境，表达中国人热爱和平的美好心愿。

戏曲：

中国戏曲历史悠久，品种繁多。热闹的锣鼓声为我们带来了中国传统戏曲的表演，中国广阔的地域成就了诸多的戏曲种类，大家熟悉国粹京剧，表演丰富，历史悠久，被世人称为东方歌剧。华丽的活动戏台，在数千名演员的簇拥下，来到场中，京剧扮相的提线木偶，做工考究，工艺精制，他们活灵活现地表现着戏剧舞台上传达意境和神韵。

丝路：

这场名为“丝路”的表演，表现的是中国古代陆路与海洋中的两条纽带，路上丝绸之路和海上丝绸之路的景象。广交朋友，互通有无，彼此学习，礼尚往来，中华民族热情友善的特质古来有之，两条丝绸之路就是最好的印证。两千多年前，中国的商队就开始带着贵重的丝绸由长安出发，经河西走廊进入欧洲大陆，丝绸之路是中西方经济文化交流的重要通道。悬浮于半空中的画纸，此刻已幻化成辽远无边的沙漠，敦煌舞者在沙漠之上轻步漫舞，引领我们展开一场友谊之旅。

近代的船桨把我们的思绪从风情多样的内陆带到了一望无际的海上，船桨连接，呈现出中国古老的航海形象，海上丝绸之路是古代中国与外国交通贸易和文化交往的海上通道。体育场的上方此时已是波浪汹涌，场中的长幅画卷上也已经海浪滔天，船桨滑落，桨手们在波浪中搏斗，体现了中国人挑战自然的勇气与智慧。

礼乐:

五幅中国长卷画，配以演员们的古典舞，再现了古代中国礼乐之邦的盛世气象。演员在演唱昆曲。昆曲是中国古老的传统艺术，已入选世界非物质文化遗产名录。地面上，是中国最有名的五幅长卷画。它们分别来自唐、宋、元、明、清五大朝代。

文艺表演《美丽的奥林匹克》下篇：《辉煌时代》

星光:

无垠的星光，浪漫的旋律，古老的画卷在新时代延展，寓意今天的生活更加幸福和谐。钢琴家和孩子弹奏出浪漫的旋律，迎来了崭新的时代。这是中国的青年钢琴家郎朗，和郎朗一起弹琴的这个小女孩只有5岁，她从4岁开始学琴。古老的画卷在无垠的星光中延展。现代部分的表演，从黑白跳跃到彩色，风格绚丽，无数舞者受了色彩的吸引，而汇聚到画卷中间。

场地中的绿衣使者闪耀光芒，为我们绘制一幅星光画作。呈现在观众面前的是巨大的星光和平鸽，鸽子是和平、友谊、圣洁的象征，今晚我们放飞这只散发着光芒的和平鸽，愿它能向全世界传递来自中国的友好情谊。在鸟巢上飘来一只风筝，就让我们祝福他们梦想能够乘风飞翔。

自然：

太极的表演体现了传统与未来的交融，表现了人与自然和谐相处，达到天人合一的境界。太极拳是中国武术中最有代表性的一种拳路。它的特点是“动静结合、刚柔相济”。

多媒体形式的表演，生动地表现了中国功夫古老的哲学观念：人与自然的和谐。“飞流直下三千尺，疑是银河落九天。”这是唐代诗人李白名句的诗意表达。

孩子们用色彩的画笔描绘美丽的大自然，用纯真的童心播种绿色的希望，就让我们一起努力，实现诺言，交给世界一个绿色奥运。

此时孩子们收起画笔，数千名太极拳表演者也仿佛受到了某种力量的吸引，屏息注目，转瞬之间，鸟巢上方涌现出无数的飞鸟，仿佛在告诉我们，这里就是他们眷恋的绿色家园。

梦想：

此刻一颗梦幻般的蓝色星球冉冉升起，徐徐旋转，这是我们共有的家园。我们想邀请地球上每个角落，邀请每个能够听到我们声音的朋友都来分享我们的梦想，奥运的梦想！

我们身处同一个世界，我们拥有同一个梦想，梦想团结，梦想发展，梦想团圆，拥抱世界。

主题歌演唱《我和你》(演唱者：刘欢、莎拉·布莱曼）

中国代表团入场：

旗手是著名的篮球运动员姚明，这是他第二次担任中国奥运会代表团的旗手。和姚明一同牵手的是汶川县映秀镇小学二年级的小学生，他曾经获得抗震救灾英雄少年的光荣称号。本届奥运会中国体育代表由1099人组成，参赛运动员639人，不仅创造了中国历届奥运会参赛人数之最，也是本届奥运会当中规模最大的体育代表团。全团运动员平均年龄为24.4岁，其中37人曾参加过2000年悉尼奥运会，165人曾参加2004年雅典奥运会，还有部分运动员是连续参加过亚特兰大、悉尼、雅典三届奥运会三朝元老，有469人是第一次参加奥运会。

最后一名火炬手：

照亮最后一名火炬手的面庞，体操运动员李宁。他高举火炬跨上北京奥运火炬传递的最后一程荣耀之旅，这位被人成为体操王子的金牌运动员，无论赛场内外，都与体育有着深深的情缘。

北京奥运会的圣火点燃了，此时此刻，奥运圣火在北京的夜空绽放。

1908年到2008年，中华民族对奥林匹克运动热切盼望整整百年，从100年前开始对雅典奥林匹亚山上那一簇圣火的企盼到100年后奥林匹克圣火终于在北京的夜空点燃，孕育于古希腊的西方文明和传承五千年的东方文明终于在此刻交相辉映。

由一个人参加奥运会到13亿人共同努力承办奥运会，中国人对奥林匹克运动的热爱已经融入了民族的血脉。让我们共同凝集今晚快乐的中国，绚丽的北京，百年的坚持，终于迎来中华民族奥运之梦的灿烂实现。这一刻属于北京奥运的华彩乐章才刚刚奏响。这一时刻，新北京，新奥运凝聚了全世界关注的目光。未来的16天，我们将用13亿中国人绽放的真诚笑容，明媚在北京的奥运旅程，未来16天，用13亿中国人热烈掌声喝彩你2008年的拼搏征程，祝愿各国健儿顽强拼搏，在北京这片孕育希望的土地上续写世界的奥运魅力，祝愿中国英雄奋勇阵线，在北京这块博大温暖的土地上烙印中国的奥运传奇。

keith urban--tonight i wanna cry [lyric]

From the bottom of my heart

Alone in this house again tonight, I got the tv on. The sound turned down and a bottle of wine. There's pictures of you and I on the walls around me. The way that it was and could have been surrounds me. I'll never get over you walkin' away, I've never been the kind to ever let my feelings show. And I thought that bein' strong meant never losin' your self-control, but I'm just drunk enough to let got of my pain,to hell with my pride, let it fall like rain,from my eyes. Tonight I wanna cry…… Would it help if I turned a sad song on. "all by myself" would sure hit me hard now that you're gone. Or maybe unfold some old yellow lost love letters. It's gonna hurt bad before it gets better, but I'll never get over you by hidin' this way. I've never been the kind to ever let my feelings show. And I thought that bein' strong meant never losin' your self-control, but I'm just drunk enough to let got of my pain,to hell with my pride,let it fall like rain,from my eyes. Tonight I wanna cry…… [Tonight I wanna cry……I miss you……]

My Blog

Your eyes sparkle
There like an emerald green
They me feel happy
But then they make me cry

Your eyes used to be mine
No one else could see them
I love the way you used to look at me
But that is no more

Your eyes would make me smile
My smile would make you smile
But I haven’t been smiling any more
With out your lovely eyes

I miss your eyes
The way they glow
The thing I miss most about your eyes
Is the person they belong to
