1. 鲁绣(Shandong embroidery)是深受人们喜爱的一种艺术生活用品。

旧时齐鲁民俗，女孩从七八岁起就随大人学做女红，到十二三岁时一般都会各种针线手艺。姑娘们把做好针线活看作显示心灵手巧的良机，日积月累地精心缝制一件件美观实用的绣品。逢年过节或遇婚嫁喜寿之时，就挑选几样满意之作馈赠亲友。姑娘多在出嫁前几年就开始为自己精心绣制嫁妆，包括给婆家亲属的赠礼：贴身的兜胸、四季服装、鞋帽、被褥、枕头、床围帐沿、门帘、窗帘、鞋垫袜底、烟袋荷包、扇袋镜套等，这些绣品饱含着姑娘对亲人的深情挚爱。

2. 手机如今是年轻人尤其是城市年轻人显示自己身份地位的主导性技术。就像上一代人对于汽车的选择一样，你佩带什么类型的手机以及你如何对它进行个性化很大程度上说明了你的个性。在如今拥挤的城市中，开着一辆特别的汽车停在酒吧外已无法再表明你的特性了。相反，通过仔细挑选的铃声，屏幕标识和手机外壳展示你的手机，你同样可以展示你的个性。手机如同汽车一样是一种时尚：在这两种情况下，人们购买新款样式根本不是为了实际需要。两者又都是汇聚人类的社会科技；对于十来岁的年轻人来说，两者都是独立自主的象征。而汽车和手机同样促进自由与流动性，有着无法估算的重要的社会意义。

最初汽车和手机的设计并不是它们现在的样子。汽车起初是无马的货运工具，而且早期的模型看上去就像是运载货物用的；只是后来汽车设计者意识到汽车几乎可以被设计为任何他们想要的形式。同样，手机曾经看上去就像是固定有线电话的按钮模式，只是没有天线。但是现在他们有了一大批令人眼花缭乱的样式和尺寸。Mobile phone is now young people especially urban young people show their dominant technology status. As a generation for the choice of car, you wear what kind of mobile phone, and how you for personalized largely shows your personality. In the crowded city now, open a special car parked outside the bar has been unable to show your features. Instead, through careful selection of the bell, logo and mobile phones shell show your screen, you can also show your individuality. Mobile phone like car is a kind of fashion: in both cases, the people to buy the new style is not for practical needs. There are gathering of human social science and technology; For teenage youth, both of which are the symbol of

independence. And in cars and mobile phones also promote freedom and mobility, is unable to estimate the important social significance.

The design of the original cars and mobile phones don't turn out the way they are now. Car was originally horseless freight tools, and early model looks like transport goods in use; Just then car designers realize that car almost can be designed in the form of anything they want. The same phone once looked like, fixed telephone cable button mode, only without the antenna. But now they have

a large number of dazzling style and size.

3. 我常想，窗可以算作房屋的眼睛。眼睛是灵魂的窗户，我们看见外界，同时也让人看到我们的内心；眼睛往往跟着心在转。我们跟带黑眼镜的人谈话，总觉得捉摸不住他的用意，仿佛他以假面具相对，就是为此。歌德(Goethe)恨一切戴眼镜的人，说他们看得清楚他脸上的皱纹，但是他给他们的玻璃片耀得眼花缭乱，看不出他们的心境。窗子许里面人看出去，同时也许外面人看进来，所以在热闹地方住的人要用窗帘子，替他们私生活做个保障。晚上访人，只要看窗里有无灯光，就约略可以猜到主人在不在家，不必打开了门再问，好比不等人开口，从眼睛里看出他的心思。

I've often thought that the window can be counted as the eyes. The eyes are the Windows of the soul, we see the outside world, also let a person see our inner space; Eyes tend to follow the heart in turn. We talk to people with the black glasses, always feel not grasp his intention, as if he to relative mask, is to do this. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (Goethe) hate all the people who were wearing glasses, say they see clearly the wrinkles on his face, but he gave them the glass boast is dazzling, don't see their state of mind. Inside the window make people see out, maybe outside people look in at the same time, so people in noisy place to live with a curtain, make a guarantee for their private lives. Late petitioners, just look through the presence of light, we can guess the host is at home, don't have to be opened the door to ask, is like opening and tide wait for no man, from his eyes see his mind.
