“大人们真是奇怪’小王子离开了！”

小王子访问的第一个星球里，住着一位国王，他幻想着能够统治一切，他目空一切，这使他孤独，没人想与他一同生活。

而那个自高自大的人，想有人为他鼓掌，但没有人受得了他，他很费解，却找不到原因。

商人永远在计算，他买下所有星星又能怎么样，又会有谁去欣赏；他忙碌到连自己的星星都不愿去欣赏了。

地理学家著下了一本厚厚的书，我不解，他的书卖给谁，给谁看，星球上可是只有他一个人啊！

他们是孤独的，然而他们为何孤独，他们自己却不知道。国王、商人、地理学家的孤独让我可怜他们，然而我却不愿和这样的人生活在一起，因为他们看不见自己，他们迷失在外在的事物里。

在我们身边也一样，有些人的内心充满了孤独，却没有人去怜悯，反而厌恶，因为他们拥有的是孤独的黑暗面，他们因为自闭与自大而孤单，而很多人却没有意识到这一点，仍然骄傲地自我封闭和自我欣赏。

但小王子的孤独却是温暖的，因为他有对玫瑰花和狐狸的爱，特别是狐狸，解决了那朵小玫瑰给他带来的对爱的疑惑，使他明白，爱意味着责任，意味着慈悲，有了爱生活里的一切才有了意义。

《小王子》就像一面镜子，彻彻底底的照出了孤独的黑暗面，也照出了孤独温暖的一面。

孤独并不可怕，只有我们远离了孤独的黑暗面，心中充满爱，就算是一个人的时候，我们依然能享受到孤独的温暖与宁静

[《小王子》读后感小学生作文欣赏

This is a fairytale whose distribution volume is only second to The Bible. It’s been translated to versions of many other languages. And I gather there must be something special, something really great about it. It’s this conviction that drove me to read it at the first beginning. Well, with due respect to the author, I failed to see how this fairytale be worthy of our attention, despite the fact that many readers claimed this book to be designed for adults.

Anyway, as a well-acknowledged book, it must possess unique feature to maintain it’s position. And it’s reputation and popularity will by no means be destroyed by what an unknown man says. I will talk about the main contents of the book, and the inspiration it renders as usual.

This book mainly tells us the experience of a prince from a tiny planet, who traveled to many other planets and finally came to the earth and met the pilot in a desert. The prince and the pilot became good friends, and the pilot gradually got to know the feeling and experience of his friend. Before he came to the earth, little prince had been to other 6 little planets where he made acquaintance with some strange people. The first man he met was a king on a little planet, yet he claimed to be the king of the space and ridiculously justified his unshakable governance over all. The second person was a man of vanity, who enjoyed compliments of any form without considering whether it’s sincere or not. The third person was an alcoholic who tried to forget the fact that he’s addicted to acohol by drinking like a fish. The fourth person was an abosolute money-oriented businessman, who cared nothing but his fortune. Next came the lamp-lighter who performed his duty blindly. The last one was a geographer who knew too much about geography to solve a real problem related to it. These six people each represented one kind of person like us. The author satirized people’s conceit, emptiness, fakeness, innocence and blindness through the tone of a child.

I see eye to eye with the author in that the cause of people’s loneliness can be concluded to the negligence of the bonds that connects them. People are supposed to care about each other, cherish what’s really important for them, and be grateful for the happiness that they’ve gained. We all believe knowledge and experience enable us to see clearly and make right judgements all the time. But we may sometimes lose the right to speak straighforwardly, think creatively or love courageously resulting from what we’ve experienced. That why in our middle school textbooks, it’s the little kid that breaks the illusion of the emperor by saying ”but mum, he ain’t were anything”.

When I was a child, I was definitely a good boy who went home on time after school and did his homework and never tried anything without mom’s permission. And now I am a grown-up, and still I am a good man, at least, that’s what I heard. Sometimes when I was lonely and I began to think about my childhood, then all the happiness and care-free

life came back to me as it were yesterday. Kids that once accompanied me during my childhood now become fathers and mothers of their kids and I myself am a child no more. Thinking about all these things have made me moody. There’re changes happening in our lives whether we are happy about it or not.

People told me life is a journey which will never stop once it’s started. What’s left behind are happiness and sorrow, pride and shame, success and regret. There’s good old time to reminisce and there’s sad hours that reminds us of the pain. Your feeling makes them real, and you know you lived.

I want to conclude by saying some positive words that each yestersday used to be today, and each today is the future of yesterday, so making the most of today is the best way to cherish your lives. Our mortal beings are doomed to die. It’s not sad, instead, death it’s just a process of our lives. After all, we’ve lived our lives and it’s what we do and how we think that determine who we are.

(when you look at the above passages, don’t regard it as a composition or an article, because if you do, you will be puzzled at the structure. It’s just a few words that come to my mind at the moment and I type them.)

Have a nice day!

[英语的读后感

"In order to property, money and position and the marriage is wrong; the marriage does not consider the above factors also stupid." This sentence can come to this book.

One distinctive characters in "her" lifelike; Clever sensible Elizabeth, sincerity, persistence, darcy, gentle tolerant Jane, frivolous superficial Lydia, no mind, Mrs Bennett relatively ineffective Mr Bennett, selfish snobbish miss bingley, mighty lady Catherine, boring Collins, and so on. Among them, admirable, sympathetic, or a smile. In addition, the dialogue between the characters in the novel is also a feature of the novel. Elizabeth witty words, Mr Bennett its sarcasm to him, for the khans rhetoric, Collins rap wording, which make readers view. Do you know of who "she" is? "She" is the author -- Jane Austen.

The book was welcomed by generations of readers, and love. "Pride and prejudice", published in 1813, a love story is novel, the novel of the communist party of China involves four marriage, but each have each characteristic.

In a word, no matter from content and Austins novel narrative techniques, "pride and prejudice" is a classic.

“为了财产、金钱和地位而结婚是错误的;而结婚不考虑上述因素也是愚蠢的。”这句话正好可以来讲明这本书。

一个个鲜明的人物形象在“她”的笔下栩栩如生;聪明理智的伊丽莎白，真诚执著的达西，温柔宽容的简，轻浮浅薄的丽迪亚，没有头脑的贝内特太太，相对无能的贝内特先生，自私势利的宾利小姐，不可一世的凯瑟琳夫人，无聊透顶的柯林斯等等。他们中，有的令人佩服，有的令人同情，有的令人忍俊不禁。此外，小说中的人物对话也是小说的一大特色。伊丽莎白的机智话语，贝内特先生对他它的讽刺挖苦，为可汗的花言巧语，柯林斯的饶舌措辞，无不让读者大饱眼福。你知道当中的“她”是谁吗?“她”就是作者——简.奥斯汀。

这本书受到一代又一代读者的欢迎、喜爱。《傲慢与偏见》发表于1813年，爱情故事也是小说主线，小说中共涉及了四桩婚烟，但各有各的特点。

总之，无论从小说的故事内容和奥斯汀的叙述技巧来说，《傲慢与偏见》都不失为一部经典作品。

In the secret garden of the little hero named Marie, is a plain, secret garden. Irascibility。 In a plague, her father and mother were taken to life in a plague, and she became an orphan.

When I saw it, I always wanted to ask, how can this book be an unhappy person or something? I look down with this problem, with another little hero Dickon, I gradually understand, the author adopts the method of comparison, let us see the lonely, lonely are disgusted with what Marie later met friends gradually cheerful, gradually become beautiful, gradually make us feel Marie panruoliangren.

This book let me understand the value of friendship, the "secret garden". Lively Dickon, with a sincere heart touched all hate what happened to Marie, touched on the lives of seriously ill do not report any hope for Colin, so he re ignited the fire of life.

If I were Marie, I will be more hate a person or thing of all, because in the family, my father is a day home, and my mother would go every day to participate in a variety of dance, do not care about my existence, living in such a family, I feel lonely gradually withdrawn, who would not be like this?

Because of him, the appearance of this book makes me understand that friendship can change everything, even my own life.

I love this book the secret garden, but hope to have Deakin as precious friendship, my life is full of sunshine, joy.

the Old Man and the Sea is one of Hemingways most enduring works and may very well become one of the true classics of this generation. It played a GREat part in his winning the Pulizer Prize in 1953 and the 1954 Novel Prize for Literature and confirmed his power and presence in the literary world. Hemingway is also one of my favorite writers. Besides The Old Man And the Sea, I have read some of his other works, such as The Sun Also Rises, A Farewell to Arms and The Snow of Kilimanijaro. But The Old Man and the Sea is the one that left the deepest impression on me.

I first read this book when I was in my fifteens. And now I remember it just as well as if I had read it yesterday.

Pride and Prejudice is a chefdoeuvre.

My first impression of this story was from screen.

Its long long ago, maybe before I can read english books. I dont remember which movie edition I had seen. But I was impressed by the music, the scenery and the costume. I was very favor of a section of music in its balls. Its pretty brisk, liked a wonderful song of a bird. Regarding to the characters, I liked Elizabeth, the heroine,though I didnt think shes beautiful. But shes smart. However, I didnt pay much attention to the plot. I thought its so long that it made me impatient and bored. By now, I havent read the whole story in English or its Chinese version, either. I owe it to my prejudice.

In fact, I didnt understand the story at that time. I didnt know why it called Pride and Prejudice. Of course someone was pride, but I didnt find where s the prejudice. I thought its normal, the way people treated each other in that. I considered prejudice would be very disgusting. But to the movie everthing was OK in my minds, except its length. Now, I think I have understood more about it. Im a prejudiced person so I cant find wheres wrong. I merely like to do the things I like. Everytime I meet somebody or something,my thinking about he or it all depends on my foregone experience and my mood of the time.

每个人都有自己喜欢的书，而我也不例外，我最喜欢的书是法国著名飞行员兼作家圣埃克苏佩里创作的童话《小王子》。《小王子》虽然篇幅很短小，但每一句话都充满了智慧的光芒。

这本书是由27故事是组成的，从这些故事中我们可以感受到 小王子是个多愁善感的小人儿，他心地善良，天真纯洁，富有同情心。

《小王子》是一本清澈心灵的书，正如书中所说的，水对心是有益处的。而《小王子》这本书就如水一般澄清透彻，使人安宁并且心生暖意。合上这本书，小王子天真无邪的话语时时萦绕在我的耳畔。狐狸说的没错，只有人与人心灵之间的感情和友谊，才能够承担起爱的责任。

小王子住在一个小小的星球上，一天他想去探访其他星球，于是开始了他的探星之旅。在途中，他遇到了骄傲孤独的国王、爱慕虚荣的人‘奇怪的酒鬼、忙碌的实业家、守时的点灯人、自大的地理学家，最后他来到了地球，在撒哈拉沙漠，与“我”相遇，开始一点点的交心。

这本书没有曲折离奇的情节，和设计巧妙的对白，但每一个人都能从中体会出生命的感动。

《小王子》所散发的经久魅力已经让好几代人为之倾倒，它早已成为一部献给所有人看的童话，一则关于爱与责任的寓言。作者以简练、干净的语言道出了引人深思的人生哲理，是整部童话充满了感染人心的神奇力量!

这本书中，好多故事都是有寓意的，比如，那个不停地点灯和熄灯的灯夫的故事告诉我们，要忠于职守，认真负责......

这本书，它让我明白了一个很大的做人道理：大人们也会做许多蠢事，大人们不一定都是对的。所以，我们小孩子在成长的过程中，永远要保持着一颗纯洁的心，这样，才能找到我们真正所追寻的东西!’

This made up of 36 seal letter book, not only across the new and old, left and right, pop culture and humanistic care, more across the generation of the mother and child values, gathered into this a wonderful essays. Actually all around us, including me, how many people and their parents communication, lack of proper form and opportunity, that between the two generations formed an unbridgeable chasm.

We will find themselves more grow up more lonely, gradually do not want to share more things with their parents, but nearby of friend, perhaps more than parents know yourself. We constantly updated contact things, gradually the world away from their parents, the occasional phone is dull routine in general. We all felt this change, but no one is willing to or pay attention should change some. , I think our parents raise us to grow up and dont want to see is such an outcome.

After watching the "dear Andre" this book, I found that, as children, we do not understand how their parents. They are eager to understand our world, so idea urgently, so that let us feel bored. So we will unconsciously farther from them. But, I think, the parents do everything is derived from the inner fountain of love. Is love, let them pipe we too strict; Is love, let them in front of the children grew up increasingly, independent. So, no matter how is the external performance, internal essence is love.

这部由36封家书构成的书，不仅横跨了新与旧，左派与右派，流行文化与人文关怀，更横跨了母与子的世代价值观，集结成这一本精彩的散文集。其实在我们身边，包括我在内，有多少人和自己的父母交流甚少，缺乏适当的形式和机会，以至于两代之间形成了一条无法逾越的鸿沟。

我们会发现，自己越长大越孤单，渐渐的不愿意和父母分享更多的东西，反而身边的朋友或许比父母更加的了解自己。我们不断的接触更新的事物，渐渐的从父母的世界中远去，偶尔的电话也是例行公事一般的枯燥无味。我们都感觉到了这种变化，但是却没有人愿意或者留心是不是应该改变一些。我想，我们的父母养我们长大成人，绝对不想看到的是这样的一种结局。

看了《亲爱的安德烈》这不书之后，我发现，作为子女，我们是多么的不了解自己的父母。他们渴望了解我们的世界，于是心思急切，于是这样的感觉让我们厌烦。于是我们就会不自觉的离他们更远。但是，我想，父母所作的一切都是源自于内心深处爱的喷泉。是爱，让他们管我们管的太严;也是爱，让他们在日益长大的、独立的子女面前手足无措。所以，无论外在的表现如何，内在的实质都是爱。

After reading Jane Eyre, I think Jane Eyre is a great woman. Through a serious of troublesome situations between Jane Eyre and Mr. Rochester, the author set up a great female image before readers: insisting on maintaining an independent personality, pursuing individual freedom, advocating equality of life and being confident before hard conditions.

Her early life at Gateshead was terrible, everyone seems harsh on her. She survives her parents at an early age, and has to live with her ugly aunt and three cousins. She suffers large quantities of bad conditions that others may not experience. However, she does not give up in despair, she does not destroy herself mentally, instead, Jane Eyre is filled with unlimited confidence, and she is a strong spirit, a victory over the inner personality.

She is then forced to send to Lowood Institution, unfortunately, life there turns out to be terrible, too. She is still under physical and spiritual punishment. Mr Brocklehurst insults her to be a liar before all pupils and teachers. But there she meets one sincere friend Helen Burns and one sincere teacher Miss Temple. They always treat her well. She then behaves very well and get many people’s recognition. Six years later, she makes a teacher there.

After two years teaching life at Lowood Institution, she plans to leave there to pursuit her own life and happiness. She was in a position of governess through a letter from Thornfield. Her life was totally changed after that. There she met a lovely girl, Adele and her master, Mr. Rochester. She has a special feeling about them. With the development of the plots, Jane Eyre succeed a large sum of money from his uncle, and through all bitter things which was caused by Rochester’s wife in Thornfield, Jane Eyre and Mr.Rockester finally get married and lead an ideal life.

I think Jane Eyre is an autobiography of Charlotte Bronte. Although the story is made up, the heroine and peoples life and the environment in the story were taken from the details of real people around and experience. Charlotte Bronte described a young girl’s struggling life to express her inner thought: everyone is equal regardless of his or her gender. The uniqueness of Jane Eyre is not only lies in its truth and the strong artistic appeal, but also lies in the particular female image. The love story of Rochester and Jane Eyre vividly shows the fire of passion and sincere heart strongly reveals their notions of love. She looks down upon the upper class who only use their power to do what they intend to do and laughs at their stupid to show her independent character and beauty dream.

In the actual fact, she wasn’t pretty, even herself knows that, and of course, the ordinary appearance make others have bad opinion on her, even her own aunt dislike her. And some others even thought that she was easy to look down upon and tease, but she was totally much more than “the plain and ugly tutor”. And as a little governess she said to her master: “Do you think my poor, obscure, plain, and little has led me to be a soulless and heartless person? You have done a wrong thing!”Underneath these lines sees the equality of human in Jane Eyre’s mind. She has affection towards her master, Mr. Rochester, but when she finds that he has already had a wife, she leaves him and her love place without consideration. Although God did not grant her a beauty and wealth person, instead, God gave her a kind mind and a thoughtful brain. Her idea of equality and self-respect impressed us extremely much and make us feel the power inside her small body.

In my mind, a person’s beauty on the face can only make others feel that he or she is attractive or charming, if his or her mind isn’t the same noble as the appearance, beauty of this kind cannot last for a long time, because other people will one day find that the beauty which had charmed them was only a superficial one, it’s not sincere, they will not like the person any more. For a long time, only a person’s great virtue, a noble soul, a beautiful heart can be called as an everlasting beauty, just as Albert Einstein said: “A person must be held accountable for their biological survival or all of the meaning or purpose, from an objective point of view, I think it is ridiculous. Everyone can have a certain ideal, which determines the ideal and his efforts to determine the direction. In this sense, I never easy and the enjoyment of life as an end in itself, the ethical basis of this, I call it the ideal pigsty. I lit up the road, and continue to give me new courage to face up to the pleasure of the ideal life is good and the beautiful and true. If it were not for like-minded between the warm feelings, but focus on the objective world, the arts and sciences in the field of work will never reach the target, and then it seems to me that life would be empty. There are efforts to pursue the goal of the vulgar - property, vanity, luxury living, I think it is despicable.”

Now I get a better understanding of what real beauty is, as we are all human-beings, so we should distinguish whether a man is noble or vulgar.

Jane Eyre’s story makes me thinking about our future life and I learn much from her experiences, I know everyone will have a better tomorrow if one holds his beliefs, regardless of one’s status and the situation he is in.

[《简爱》英语读后感

《小王子》是一部童话，一部富有哲理的童话。

古诗以第一人称来了解小王子的故事。小王子因为他那朵娇气的玫瑰花，离开了他居住的B-612小行星，他先后游历了六个千奇百怪的星球：第一个是狂妄自大的国王，他下达了许多可笑的命令。第二个是爱慕虚荣的大人，他拉住小王子，让他赞美他，满足他的虚荣心。第三个是古怪的大人，他自称自己是个无知的人，他幻想得到星星就可以变成大富翁，后来被小王子说得哑口无言。第五个是掌灯的人，他为了工作连一次休息的时间都没有，虽然有点意义，但实在是傻。第六个星球上的人，是一个地理学家，他坐在他的办公室里，等着别人给他欣喜，还鸡蛋里挑骨头，坐享其成。于是，在他介绍下，小王子来到了地球，他遇到了狐狸和我，在他离开地球的一周年后，他让蛇帮他回到了他的B-612小行星，回到了他那朵骄傲、倔强的玫瑰身边。

读完了这本名著，我感慨万分。在我小时候，我的画被大人说成了别的东西，这讽刺了大人的死板教条，盲目，缺乏想象力，也反映大人的孤独寂寞。作者是圣艾修伯里，他也许是成年后十分孤独，渴望小时候天真无邪，现在为了金钱权利或学问失去了宝贵的想象力。有些大人总是尔虞我诈，为了一件鸡毛蒜皮的小事情而勾心斗角。小王子爱他的玫瑰，他会义无反顾为了它而死去。

《小王子》是一本写给大人们的书，它虽然是本童话故事，但富有哲学，作者曾献词说：“我愿意把这本书献给长成大人们从前那个孩子，所有的大人原先都是孩子。”

大人都是从小孩长大来的，却在成长的道路上逐渐失去了童真和想象力，看到的世界和孩子都是两码事。谁又不是呢?迫于现实的压力，总是慢慢的，在茫茫红尘间失去本心。

"The wizard of oz" is a book rich in knowledge and truth, which makes me learn a lot.Every chapter of the story deserves to be savored.

The story of the girl rosie, aunt em, and uncle Henry live on a ranch in Kansas.By a whirlwind to a strange place.Under the guidance of the good witch of oz, she set out on her way home and eventually overcame all the difficulties to get home.

On her way home she met many of her friends, even though she encountered many difficulties and dangers.A scarecrow with no brain.& other;A tin man with no heart.& other;A lion without courage.Help her get through this.Let me really understand the importance and value of friendship.Sometimes I wonder: if rosie gets to that strange place without the help of these friends, she will never come home to her aunt and uncle.It is possible to fall into the street and become a slave, which makes me feel the importance of friends again.And my classmates sometimes laugh at each other and start fighting when they have something small.I think we should help each other, build friendship, love each other, unite together, do not quarrel over a little thing, and destroy the friendship between friends.

, of course, not just because of the power of friendship to create the perfect ending, but also because of their good wishes for their own unremitting efforts, whether it is by how many setbacks, how many difficulties, but they still insist on.I admire their noble qualities.

On that thrilling journey, they could not go on because of a great ditch across the road.At this moment, it seems to us that their journey is about to stop.Then the scarecrow came forward.The cowardly lion also stood up and jumped out of the ditch, and when everyone reached the other side, the lion was tired and out of breath.

This book appeals to me not only the wonderful story but also the inspiration it brings to me.The most prominent point is: to do everything must have perseverance, persistence, only has success, only has the rainstorm after the rainbow.

Im far from the main characters.Once, my mother helped me with a brush shift, and at the beginning I studied with enthusiasm, but after a few days, I found it very boring.I started off in class;He didnt finish the homework assigned by the teacher.After reading this book, I finally understand that I need to persevere, to conquer myself, not to be afraid of difficulties, and finally to see the rainbow after the wind and rain.

My favorite is the story of the last chapter, although only a few words, but it can be the end of the story that rosie has been so hard to get home.It contained a spirit of perseverance and courage to overcome difficulties.

[绿野仙踪英语读后感

Oliver Twist one of the most famous works of Charles Dickens is a novel reflecting the tragic fact of the life in Britain in 18th century.

The author who himself was born in a poor family wrote this novel in his twenties with a view to reveal the ugly masks of those cruel criminals and to expose the horror and violence hidden underneath the narrow and dirty streets in London.

The hero of this novel was Oliver Twist an orphan who was thrown into a world full of poverty and crime. He suffered enormous pain such as hunger thirst beating and abuse. While reading the tragic experiences of the little Oliver I was shocked by his sufferings. I felt for the poor boy but at the same time I detested the evil Fagin and the brutal Bill. To my relief as was written in all the best stories the goodness eventually conquered devil and Oliver lived a happy life in the end. One of the plots that attracted me most is that after the theft little Oliver was allowed to recover in the kind care of Mrs. Maylie and Rose and began a new life. He went for walks with them or Rose read to him and he worked hard at his lessons. He felt as if he had left behind forever the world of crime and hardship and poverty.

How can such a little boy who had already suffered oppressive affliction remain pure in body and mind? The reason is the nature of goodness. I think it is the most important information implied in the novel by Dickens—he believed that goodness could conquer every difficulty. Although I dont think goodness is omnipotent yet I do believe that those who are kind-hearted live more happily than those who are evil-minded.

For me the nature of goodness is one of the most necessary character for a person. Goodness is to humans what water is to fish. He who is without goodness is an utterly worthless person. On the contrary as the famous saying goes The fragrance always stays in the hand that gives the rose he who is with goodness undoubtedly is a happy and useful person. People receiving his help are grateful to him and he also gets gratified from what he has done and thus he can do good to both the people he has helped and himself.

To my disappointment nowadays some people seem to doubt the existence of the goodness in humanity. They look down on peoples honesty and kindness thinking it foolish of people to be warm-hearted. As a result they show no sympathy to those who are in trouble and seldom offer to help others. On the other hand they attach importance to money and benefit. In their opinion money is the only real object while emotions and morality are nihility. If they cannot get profit from showing theirkindness they draw back when others are faced with trouble and even hit a man when he is down. They are one of the sorts that I really detest.

Francis Bacon said in his essay Goodness of all virtues and dignities of the mind is the greatest being the character of the Deity and without it man is a busy mischievous wretched thing no better than a kind of vermin.

That is to say a person without goodness is destined to lose everything. Therefore I a kind person want to tell thosevermin-to-beto learn from the kind Oliver and regain the nature of goodness.

从小便被周遭的大人们认为我是个早熟的孩子：不吵闹，不缠人，只静静地在屋子的一角缩着看书，有好奇者过来问上几句，也居然答得头头是道。“一个内向的小大人。”

工作忙碌的父母和年龄差距太大的姐姐，似乎是另一个世界的人，熟悉，但很遥远。小小的心灵，自顾自地在强说愁的寂寞里浸润，暗暗盘算着十八岁时背着行囊去流浪的梦想。

于是在学校、家庭这个回路里循环往复着，成长着。话语，渐渐多了些，朋友，渐渐聚了些，可还是觉得孤独。“她不就是爱装幼稚吗?”无意中亲耳听见最信任的人这样的误解我，只觉得“朋友”二字充满虚伪。

于是回到沉默。有话直说和坦诚相见过于不合时宜，还是让它们蒙尘的好。流浪，在这个行色匆匆的城市里，每天犹如工蚁一样的来来往往，本身就是流浪。

于是在有机会选择自己职业的时候，我如愿以偿地和孩子们做了伴。他们是最直观最坦率的，可以毫无顾忌地为打碎了变形金刚而号啕大哭，也可以为得到一颗大白兔而破涕为笑。我喜欢和他们相处。身染疾病的孩子很可怜，工作衣兜里的几颗糖果，书店里看来的童话，能让他们笑着接受治疗。我的心情因此阳光灿烂。

在内心里，我想，我还是个拒绝长大的人吧。

也有夜雨淅沥的孤寂时刻，拿起电话筒，却拨不出一个号码，直到那一声长音终于变成不耐烦的嘟嘟嘟。有时想想，自己不过是想听听熟悉的声音而已，可谁在脱下面具后不是疲惫得不愿开口敷衍?还是点着小火炉，和书们聊天吧。

记得当我随手拿起这有着橙黄色封面的小书，便被上面写的“世界上阅读量仅次于《圣经》的书”弄得很反感。阅读量跟点击率一样，并不能完全说明作品的优劣。哗众取宠的广告人。

可是，它为什么会被人和《圣经》放在一起比较呢?

我自愿地成为了被黑猫抓到的老鼠之一。这举动让我后来无比庆幸。

《小王子》是一本童话式的寓言故事书。问世半个多世纪以来，曾被翻译成过百种文字，拥有众多的读者群，被改编成同名电影和电视剧后，也大受欢迎。它的作者，法国飞行员圣艾修伯里，在20世纪末，和小王子一起，成为50法郎的封面。

我之所以讲了这么多无聊的信息，无非是想迎合某些成人或者已经有成人特质的人，他们总是注重一个人的声望多于注重人的本身。无论如何，《小王子》值得关注。

故事的情节其实很简单。写的是一位飞行员，因机械故障在沙漠里迫降，和来自外星球的小王子相遇、相知、分别的故事。叙述的方式也很平淡，没有迂回起伏，没有绚丽辞藻，就象是个童心未泯的成年人，坐在你身边，缓缓地给你讲他的经历一样。

总认为，好的作品，是让人很放松地阅读以后，能有静静思考的余地的。《小王子》让我百读不厌。快乐时，悲伤时，苦闷时，迷惘时……小王子总是温柔地抚慰着我的心灵，让我平静下来，好好想想自己到底要的是什么，应该怎么做。

国王自以为统治全宇宙，可并不能满足小王子看落日的愿望，他常常宣判星球上唯一的老鼠死刑，但又不得不赦免它;爱慕虚荣的人不断地脱下高帽子又戴上，以为别人都在瞻仰着他;酒鬼忧郁地灌醉自己，为的是忘却喝酒的羞耻;惟利是图的商人不停地数着五亿一百六十二万颗星星，以为这就是他发现的财富;灯夫忙于按照规定点燃和熄灭路灯，却不知道什么时候才能休息;地理学家坐在办公桌后，等待别人告诉他哪里有城镇河流高山大海。武断、自大、无耻、贪婪、墨守陈规、守株待兔……这些陋习，就象猴面包树的苗子一样，如果不及时除去，将会使我们心灵的星球日渐荒芜。

玫瑰说，她是这宇宙中独一无二的。是啊，当小王子为她盖上玻璃罩，为她浇水，为她赶走毛毛虫的时候，他们之间相互需要。对于双方来说，都是唯一的。一份相濡以沫的感情，没有不断的浇灌和呵护，没有时间的投注，没有责任的承担，不可能健康成长。

狐狸说，只有用心灵才能看得清事物的本质，真正重要的东西是肉眼无法看见的。罗嗦的父母对儿女是无限的关怀，严厉的上级给下属的是难得的鞭策，逆耳的批评也许不尽属实，可是反省自身也十分必要。我们的眼睛已经越来越模糊了，但愿心灵之泉永不干涸!

小王子说，沙漠美丽，是因为沙漠的某处隐藏着一口井。饥渴交迫的人，终于在沙漠里找到了水井，生锈的轱辘发出的声音就象叮咚的泉水声一样悦耳，由于有了井，沙漠的美丽光芒才更神秘，更震撼人心。

每个人读《小王子》，都会因为不同的生活阅历和思想素质而得到不同的感受。我觉得，失去童心的成人是不喜欢，也看不懂《小王子》的，里面能让他们微微刺痛的部分，已经被迫不及待地跳过了。他们从来不用孩子的眼睛看世界。这不能不说是他们的遗憾，因为他们永远不会明白生活的本质。可是，愿意擦亮心灵的人们啊，当你在满天繁星的夜晚，仰望天空，你会知道，小王子就在其中的一颗星星上微笑着。那么，所有的星星都会朝着你微笑呢

After reading this wonderful story, I can feel love, brave, deep friendship and some other good spirits in the people.

Scarecrow wanted some brains, but on the way to emerald city, he came up with a way across the river. Timid lions want to be brave, but when they meet the river, he jumps over it with other friends. The tin man wants a heart, he says he can t love, but he doesn t want to hurt any animals.

In fact, they all have the things they want: the Scarecrow is clever, the Cowardly Lion is brave and the Tin Man is kind-hearted.

This book tells us a story of how a little girl Dorothy goes back to her hometown when she is in another strange city. Dorothy is a little girl who lived with her aunt and uncle in Kansas. The weather there is very bad, sometimes there was a cyclone. When a cyclone came, people stayed under their houses. But one day a cyclone blows Dorothy’s house, with Dorothy and her dog Toto in it, to a country called Oz. In that city there are four witches and a very famous wizard—the Wizard of Oz. And Dorothy’s house just fell on the bad Witch of the East and killed her, so the people there were very happy. Dorothy took the witch’s red shoes and wore them. She wanted to go home to Kansas but she doesn’t know how to get there. So the Witch of North told her to go to the Emerald City to find the Wizard of Oz to help her. Then Dorothy met the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and the Cowardly Lion, but they need help too. The Scarecrow wanted some brains, the Tin Man wanted a heard, and the Cowardly Lion wanted to be brave. So they all take the yellow brick road to the Emerald City. On the way to the Emerald City they met some difficulties, but they solved them successfully. After they met the Wizard of Oz, the wizard gave them another challenge—to kill the bad Witch of the West and they accept. During the way to the Witch of the West’s house, they were caught by the witch and Dorothy was requested to work for her. One day, when the witch tried to catch Dorothy’s red shoes, Dorothy threw some water on the witch by accident and the Witch of the West disappeared. Only water can kill her. So Dorothy went back to the Emerald City with her friends but they found the Wizard of Oz is not a real wizard, he is also a man came from Kansas, and he is just a conjurer. He wanted to go back to Kansas too. So he made a big balloon and prepared to go. But when the balloon is going to raise, Dorothy’s dog Toto jumped away to run after a cat, so Dorothy had to get Toto back and they were left in Oz. Then Dorothy and Toto went and find the Witch of the South and the witch told them they can just use the red shoes on Dorothy’s feet, they’re a pair of magic shoes, they could take anybody go back to their home as soon as she said‘East, west—home is the best!’After Dorothy said goodbye to her friends, she went back to her new home with her dog. It’s really a wonderful risk.

Yes, no matter where we are, home is always the best place for us to rest or study. There are our parents here; there are also our favorite things here. At home, we feel safe, we feel comfortable, and we can relax ourselves.

From this story, we can see Dorothy is a brave and kind-hearted girl. She killed the two bad witches in Oz; she helped the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and the Cowardly Lion to go to the Emerald City to find the Wizard and get what they want. She solved problems when they met difficulties. It’s really not easy for such a little girl.

We also learn that teamwork is important for us. When we are in trouble, we can ask our friends for help, and also, when our friends need help, we should go and help them. Just remember, more people, more power. It’s always better has more people to do a thing. Teamwork is really necessary in our lives.

And we can see the Scarecrow is absolutely cleaver, he understands things, he can think, he learn quickly, and he suggested Dorothy to cut down a tree to cross the river. The tin man has a kind heart, he laughs, he cries, he loves, he feels sorry for people. The Cowardly Lion is really brave, he did a lot of brave things, he carried the friends to go across the river, and he wanted to find some food for his friends and so on. We should learn from them too. When we are in trouble, we should calm down, watch the things around carefully, and try to think out of a way to solve it, just like the Scarecrow. We also should be brave as we are in danger, we can’t be afraid, we should face the difficulty and try to go through it, just like the Cowardly Lion. And we should learn to love people, to feel sorry for people, to make more friends, to get on well with everyone around us, just like the Tin Man.

Yes, we should learn how to get on with other people, we should help each other, we should be brave, we should love other people. If we can do like this, we can be a better girl (boy), more and more people will make friends with us, and more and more people will like us!

Published in 1847, WUTHERING HEIGHTS was not well received by the reading public, many of whom condemned it as sordid, vulgar, and unnatural--and author Emily Bronte went to her grave in 1848 believing that her only novel was a failure. It was not until 1850, when WUTHERING HEIGHTS received a second printing with an introduction by Emilys sister Charlotte, that it attracted a wide readership. And from that point the reputation of the book has never looked back. Today it is widely recognized as one of the great novels of English literature.

Even so, WUTHERING HEIGHTS continues to divide readers. It is not a pretty love story; rather, it is swirling tale of largely unlikeable people caught up in obsessive love that turns to dark madness. It is cruel, violent, dark and brooding, and many people find it extremely unpleasant. And yet--it possesses a grandeur of language and design, a sense of tremendous pity and great loss that sets it apart from virtually every other novel written.

The novel is told in the form of an extended flashback. After a visit to his strange landlord, a newcomer to the area desires to know the history of the family--which he receives from Nelly Deans, a servant who introduces us to the Earnshaw family who once resided in the house known as Wuthering Heights. It was once a cheerful place, but Old Earnshaw adopted a "Gipsy" child who he named Heathcliff. And Catherine, daughter of the house, found in him the perfect companion: wild, rude, and as proud and cruel as she. But although Catherine loves him, even recognizes him as her soulmate, she cannot lower herself to marry so far below her social station. She instead marries another, and in so doing sets in motion an obsession that will destroy them all.

WUTHERING HEIGHTS is a bit difficult to "get into;" the opening chapters are so dark in their portrait of the end result of this obsessive love that they are somewhat off-putting. But they feed into the flow of the work in a remarkable way, setting the stage for one of the most remarkable structures in all of literature, a story that circles upon itself in a series of repetitions as it plays out across two generations. Catherine and Heathcliff are equally remarkable, both vicious and cruel, and yet never able to shed their impossible love no matter how brutally one may wound the other.

As the novel coils further into alcoholism, seduction, and one of the most elaborately imagined plans of revenge it gathers into a ghostly tone: Heathcliff, driven to madness by a woman who is not there but who seems reflected in every part of his world--dragging her corpse from the grave, hearing her calling to him from the moors, escalating his brutality not for the sake of brutality but so that her memory will never fade, so that she may never leave his mind until death itself. Yes, this is madness, insanity, and there is no peace this side of the grave or even beyond.

It is a stunning novel, frightening, inexorable, unsettling, filled with unbridled passion that makes one cringe. Even if you do not like it, you should read it at least once--and those who do like it will return to it again and again.

导语：《穆斯林的葬礼》通过一个穆斯林家族六十年间的兴衰,三代人命运的沉浮,描写了两个发生在不同时代、有着不同内容却又交错扭结的爱情悲剧。下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的英语读后感，欢迎阅读与借鉴，谢谢!​

Novels written by very real, whether history, religion, arts and crafts, or peoples feelings. Although I dont know about a lot of history, the Muslim religious culture, I dont know much, but finish reading this book, just think, a lot of things seem so real in front, big to a funeral, small to a piece of jade.

Said the authors in the order of the hero and I live together. From morning till night and day and night. I joy and happiness for them, for their suffering and pain. I have to and I separated. When I send them one by one from the world, I was unbearable with life and death to leave." In the story, however, still want to leave, one after another, lined up and slowly to leave. Tragedy is inevitable.

The deepest impression is that tze-ki hon in London to send home to the letter. A letter, but also is simply a word - "we are still alive. You still alive?" Still alive... In such a turbulent years of the war, written letter is such, so greetings, my in the mind a burst of sad, a drop of tears to fall.

In the thick book, you can see two generations of beautiful love, see the love of the helpless and sad. Sometimes we are really in love with, but also because of love, would feel helpless, make something hurt others also hurt yourself.

【参考译文】

小说写的很真实，无论是历史，宗教，手工艺，还是人的感情。虽然有关很多历史我都不太清楚，穆斯林的宗教文化我也不甚了解，但是看完这书，就是觉得，很多东西好像就那么真真切切的放在面前，大到一个葬礼，小到一块玉。

作者在后序中说，“我和主人公一起生活。每天从早到晚，又夜以继日。我为他们的欢乐而欢乐，为他们的痛苦而痛苦。我已经舍不得和我的人物分开。当我把他们一个一个地送离人间的时候，我被生死离别折磨得痛彻肺腑。”然而故事中的人，还是要离开，一个又一个，排着队似的，不紧不慢地离开。悲剧故事都不可避免的如此。

印象最深的是，韩子奇身处英国伦敦时给家里寄去的那封信。说是一封信，却也只是简单的一句话——“我们还活着。你们还活着吗?”还活着吗……在那样一个战争动乱年间，信竟然是这样写的，如此的问候，我心里一阵凄凉，一滴眼泪往下落。

在这本厚重的书里，可以看到两代人的凄美爱情，看到爱情中的无奈和悲哀。有时候我们确实是爱着的，但也因为爱着，才会感到无奈，做出些伤到别人也伤到自己的事。

再次翻开姚xx老师的这本《小学英语情趣课堂教学》时，说心里话真的是很痛苦，像是下了很大的决心。过了两个月的无拘束、无压力的生活之后，发现静下心来做一件事很难，尤其是读书。因为是王老师给我们下了死任务，只好硬着头皮去读。事实证明：有压力才会有动力。这句话说的一点儿也不假。我重点研读了本书的第六章。本章节向我们展示了一些优秀的情趣英语课堂教学设计与课例，精心的教学设计，精彩的教学预设，无不体现了编写教师的独具匠心。设计中体现了人文主义，从教学目标到教学过程，都很巧妙地将传统的“要我学”转换成了“我要学”。

第一部分以北京师范大学新版小学英语教材四年级下册第十单元 Mc’s stre 6个课时的教学内容为例，展开基于情趣教学思想想的教学设计。阅读的过程中，可以看出编写教师非常细心，把课堂上的每个细节都处理的很到位，包括课堂的一些预设，生成。这一单元是一个阅读课，一提到英语阅读，我的脑海中就是bring, difficult。纵观这六课时的教学设计，教师借助插图、对话，并通过肢体语言、声音、多媒体资源、设置有效情境，挖掘文本固有的情趣，给予学生适时的语言支持和铺垫，帮助学生理解语言，理解故事。一步步地帮助学生把握技巧，培养他们的阅读能力。成功地把阅读变成悦读，使它真正地变成一种乐趣。在今后的阅读课上，我会尽力效仿，使它变得不枯燥。

第二部分是姚老师本人执教的展示课例。就像姚老师所说“情趣教学着眼于对学生学习兴趣的诱导”。在教学设计上，教师立足于激发学生的学习情趣，并通过多媒体资源，为学生呈现多个自然又生动的教学情境。另外，姚老师的板书设计给了我耳目一新的视觉体验，能够立足于文本内容的同时，重难点突出，也符合中年级学生的认知特点。

读罢此书，心中感慨万千，作为教师，很佩服姚老师的那份执着，以及对教学认真的工作态度。相比之下,我是差太多了。在教学设计上，我也要有所创新：

1.导入部分需要为所学内容做铺垫，不能华而不实。

2.适当地体现小组合作的魅力，锻炼学生的语言运用能力。根据学生的能力，在适当时机把主动权交给学生，充分关注学生的主体意识，激发学生主动参与的热情。

3.注重教学设计的整体性，连贯性。

[小学英语情趣课堂读后感作文

The novel is rich in poetry, symbolism and metaphor. It does not fit easily into a definite pattern, being neither a novel of "manners" in the tradition of Austen, or a straightforward Gothic Romance in the style of Mrs Radcliffe. What Charlotte Bronte did was to create a work which cleverly blends elements of the two styles, and which remains uniquely independent of them at the same time, since it addresses issues which were at the time rather controversial.

The novel is written in the first person, and thus magnifies the central character - the reader enters the world of Jane Eyre and is transported through her experiences at first hand. This at once makes the work subjective, especially since we know that Charlottes Brontes own life and experiences were so closely interwoven with the heroines. As well as this we learn only at the end of the novel that the events are being related to us ten years after the reconciliation with Rochester - thus the narrative is RETROSPECTIVE (looking back). CB is clever in blending the narrative so that at times Jane seems to be speaking as an adult with adult hindsight , while at others she she is "in the middle" of them, as a child or young woman. The indecision which is a central issue in the book, is heightened by this device. We never know, as readers, whether to be entirely trustful of Janes actions and thoughts, because we are never sure wheher she is speaking impulsively or maturely.

This intensifies the readers dilemma as to what is "right" and "wrong" in the dramatic relationships which are part of JEs life. Can we believe what the heroine says, or is she deceiving herself? The novel is primarily a love story and a "romance" where wishes come true but only after trials and suffering. The supernatural has its place, as do dreams, portents and prophesies. The heroine begins poor and lonely and ends up rich and loved; the orphan finds a good family to replace the wicked one; all the basic ingredients of classic romantic fairytale are present.

The romantic element is present in two forms in Jane Eyre; the "family" aspect is dealt with in the Gateshead, Lowood and Moor House episodes, which involve the exchanging of the wicked Reed family for the benevolent Rivers one; and the Love romance is dealt with in the Thornfield and Ferndean episodes. Both aspects are, of course linked and interwoven throughout the novel.

There is also a strong element of realism in the novel, which, married to the romantic aspect, enhances the novels strength.The sense of place is very strong; we are able to experience both exterior and interior settings with startling clarity throughout the story, in a series of vivid deive passages. The central characters are also realistic and their confrontations and sufferings change them in a believable way.

Even the unlikely is made plausible, with a unique blend of high drama and perceptive low comedy (the attack on Mason, for instance)

The more fantastic romantic aspects; the coincidences; the secrets; the supernatural occurrences, are balanced by the realism, and this is of course a major strength.

The Gothic influence cannot be ignored, although CB has refined the technique considerably from the "authentic" Gothic of the 1790s. In the original genre, the heroine would typically be abducted and threatened with seduction, or worse!. There would be a lover - a respectable, well-bred young man - who would endeavor to rescue the heroine and would succeed after many trial. the seducer would be a brigand "Know that I adore Corsairs!" and he would lock the girl up in a remote castle.

There was little freedom for middle class women during the period of the Gothic novel, and this was still the case in the time of CB. Marriage especially was often a bargain, whereby fortunes were secured by using the female as a pawn. A womans value largely depended therefore on her sexual purity and she was guarded and secured as a result. Men, on the contrary, were potent and free; lovers and mistresses were common. Ironically the women who provided their services were social outcasts as a result.

In Jane Eyre we see elements of the Gothic romance, in that Thornfield Hall and Rochester are described very much in the brigand/castle style BUT Jane Eyre is not abducted by R. On the contrary she chooses to go there of her own free will. AND she is clear in her determination to have Rochester as a husband. Neither is there a gentleman rescuer; St John Rivers may look like a Greek God, but he is neither kind nor benevolent; driving Jane back to Ferndean, not rescuing her from it.

The trials which the hero is supposed to undergo in a Gothic romance are in fact undergone by the heroine in Jane Eyre. The bandit Rochester is only skin-deep. Underneath the brooding exterior is a sensitive soul, which a WOMAN frees. In this way we see that CB created rather a daring departure from conventional fiction, although there are still many aspects of the novel which remain true to Victorian convention.!
