杭州——“人间天堂”

意大利著名旅行家马可?波罗曾这样叙述他印象中的杭州：“这是世界上最美妙迷人的城市，它使人觉得自己是在天堂。”在中国，也流传着这样的话：“上有天堂，下有苏杭。”杭州的名气主要在于风景如画的西湖。在杭州，您可以饱览西湖的秀色，也不妨漫步街头闹市，品尝杭州的名菜名点，还可以购上几样土特产。

杭州是中国著名的六大古都之一，已有两千多年的历史。杭州不仅以自然美景闻名于世，而且有着传统文化的魅力。不仅有历代文人墨客的题咏，而且有美味佳肴和漂亮的工艺品。

杭州是中国的“丝绸之府”，丝绸产品品种繁多，其中织锦尤为引人注目。杭州还专门生产黑纸扇和檀香扇。其他特产有西湖绸伞和中国十大名茶之一的西湖龙井。

8月17日的下午，约克逊号邮船无数的窗眼里，飞出五色飘扬的纸带，远远的抛到岸上，任凭送别的人牵住的时候，我的心是如何的飞扬而凄恻!

痴绝的无数的送别者，在最远的江岸，仅仅牵着这终于断绝的纸条儿放这庞然大物，载着最重的离愁，飘然西去!

船上生活，是如何的清新而活泼。除了三餐外，只是随意游戏散步。海上的头三日，我竟完全回到小孩子的境地中去了，套圈子，抛沙袋，乐此不疲，过后又绝然不玩了。后来自己回想很奇怪，无他，海唤起了我童年的回忆，海波声中，童心和游伴都跳跃到我脑中来。

中华民族历来尊重人的尊严和价值。还在遥远的古代，我们的先人就已提出“民为贵”的意想，认为“天生万物，唯人为贵”，一切社会的发展和步，都取决于人的发展和进步，取决于人的尊严的维护和价值的发挥。中国共产党领导人民进行革命、建设和改革，就是要确保全中国人民获得广泛的自由、民主和人权。今天中国所焕发出来的巨大活力，是中国人民拥有广泛自由、民主的生动写照。

最令人触目惊心的一件事，是看着钟表上的秒针一下一下地移动，每移动一下就是表示我们的寿命缩短了一部分。再看看墙上挂着的可以一张张撕下的日历，每天撕下一张就表示我们的寿命缩短了一天。因为时问即生命。没有人不爱惜生命，但很少人珍视他的时间。如果想在有生之年做一点什么事，学一点什么学问，充实自己，帮助别人，使生命成为有意义，不虚此生，那么就不要浪费光阴。这道理人人都懂，可是很少人能积极不懈地善于利用他的时间。
