Traditional Chinese culture is catching the world's eyes． The good traditional Chinese culture is our great treasure． President Xi Jinping says we should have a high of culture confidence． There are so many great works in the course of Chinese history such as Di Zi Gui，Lun Yu，Meng Zi and so on． Xi Jinping and other leaders often borrow some wonderful sentences from them． Dao De Jing is also one of them．
It is widely believed that Lao zi， a famous Chinese philosopher and the founder of Taoism， was the writer of Dao De Jing．There are only 5000 characters in the book， but it is considered as one of the oldest and most important philosophy books of ancient China．It includes two parts， Dao and De．
Dao means "the Way"． It doesn't tell us how to choose the right way， but it really shows that one should act through naturalness and non﹣action．
Naturalness refers to a natural state of being， an attitude of following the way of nature．Lao Zi thought that everything in the world has its own way of being and developing．Birds fly in the sky；Tigers live in the forest； Fish swim in the water； Flowers bloom and flowers fall． He gave advice to the people who have strong feelings to control the world． He said they should give up the desires （欲望）．
Non﹣action （无为） does not mean that one should do nothing but passively wait for something to be achieved． What he meant is that human should follow the way of nature and try not to break the rule of nature．
De means"Virtue（德行）"． Lao zi thought the great virtue is like water．And he thinks nothing in the world is weaker than water， yet nothing is stronger than water when it comes． It can nearly destroy everything strong． In ancient China， there is also a saying， water can hold the boat， it can also make the boat tum upside down． Water is a typical （典型的） example of the weak beating the strong．
Of course， there are many other wonderful things we can learn from the book． Today， Dao de Jing still plays a role in the development of Chinese thoughts． It is becoming more and more popular with people around the world．

The Internet has become not only a necessary but also a virtual(虚拟的) world for people. With the development of the Internet, internet friendship has also become very popular. Online friends are those people who have known each other through the Internet. Making internet friends is the same as making pen friends. Many famous websites offer quite warm internet friendship. One can find many people on these websites and they share the same interests. It is difficult to make friends with someone you can’t see or feel. That is the main problem of internet friendship. A virtual friendship would not last forever without seeing each other, but it is an advantage for some people because they are afraid to speak in pubic.
On the other hand, the chances of cheating(欺骗) are very high in an internet friendship. Some people make friends on the Internet with wrong intentions(企图).So while making friends over the Internet, one has to be very careful. Here are some suggestions for you.
Don’t give personal information, such as your telephone number, address, location, school name as well as your parents’ information, to strangers on the Internet.
Do not exchange personal photos of you or any family member with people you meet over the Internet.
Do not go to meet a person you have just met over the Internet. You’d better ask older or other experienced people for advice if you want to go to meet an internet friend.
Do not accept someone’s request(要求) if you feel he or she is dishonest.
