要是你发现身体有一点不舒服，你会怎么办呢？是马上去医院看医生？还是自己在家里吃药？还是在网上找答案呢？在中国，我们有一句话，“身体有问题的话，一定不要在网上找答案，否则，你会怀疑自己得了非常严重的病。”
    去年冬天，我的鼻子常常流血，有时候打个喷嚏都会流很多血。因为那个时候的流行感冒很严重，所以我选择在网上找答案。可是，当我输入“鼻子常常流血的原因”后，出现的答案让我害怕了。因为它说我得了鼻癌，然后接下来的一个月我的身体可能还有其它不舒服的地方。我既担心，又害怕。一个星期以后，我终于决定去医院检查了。可是医生告诉我，我的鼻子流血只是因为空气干燥。房间里面只要放一个加湿器就可以了。
    从那以后，我生病都会去看医生，再也不相信网上的答案了。

On Sunday, my good friend Bai Xue and I went to a restaurant for lunch. This restaurant is very special which has Chinese food and American food. The waiter gave us two glasses of water, and she asked what we needed. 
I ordered rice and two dishes, and Bai Xue ordered a hamburger and French fries. I asked Bai Xue, do you think American food or Chinese food is better? She said, I like them all!
After lunch, we went to have fruit tea, which was delicious and cheap. We feel so happy!

Shipbuilding today is based on science and ships are built using computers and sophisticated tools. Shipbuilding in ancient Rome, however, was more of an art relying on estimation, inherited techniques and personal experience. The Romans were not traditionally sailors but mostly land- based people, who learned to build ships from the people that they conquered  namely the Greeks and the Egyptians.

There are a few surviving written documents that give descriptions and representations of ancient Roman ships, including the sails and rigging. Excavated vessels also provide some clues about ancient shipbuilding techniques. Studies of these have taught us that ancient Roman shipbuilders built the outer hull first, then proceeded with the frame and the rest of the ship. Planks used to bulld the outer hull were initially sewn together. Starting from the 6th century BCE, they were fixed using a method called mortise and tenon, whereby one plank locked into another without the need for stitching. Then in the first centuries of the current era, Mediterranean shipbuilders shifted to another shipbuilding method, still in use today, which consisted of building the frame first and then proceedlng with the hull and the other components of the ship. This method was more systematic and dramatically shortened ship construction t›mes. The ancient Romans built large merchant ships and warships whose size and technology  were unequalled  until the 16th century CE.
