When I watch the TV series, there always present the rich familys life,

but I dont feel envious about the rich life. It is obvious that though these

people live the better life, the cost is that their parents spend less time to

play with them. The time to stay with our parents is really important, while the

rich parents have much work to do, so they dont have much private hours. I was

born in an ordinary family. My parents will never miss the moment when I need

them. I am so thankful to life, because I have my parents love. Whats more, I

have made many good friends. We share our interest and have a lot in common.

导语：要想收获，就必须付出，付出了就不应该计较收获。下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的相关高考素材，欢迎阅读与借鉴，谢谢!

收获与付出原本就是一对反义词，但转念一想：咦!不对噢，没有付出难得收获，花木兰代父从军收获了满城凯旋;勾践卧薪尝胆十年收获了最后胜利;孙膑付出了双腿收获是魏军的大败，红军战士付出了鲜血和生命收获了中国的统一，我们才有今天和谐的社会，而你，我付出了什么?又收获了什么?

你婉转一笑，继而深沉，是啊，生命的挫折，坎坷给你带来了太多不幸，你为了学业敦敦不倦但收获的还是那“好朋友”的光顾，一个个大红鸭蛋，这时的你，竟像一个小孩子一样，坐在座位上“呜呜”的哭泣。

而我，付出了学而不厌，却收获了满城的“风雨”谣言，难道付出并不是一定会有收获?播种并不是一定有有果实吗?

不!我坚信，付出一定有收获，播种一定有果实，，人是这收获的好与坏，多与少，果实的大与小是另一码事，继而想想，也觉得没什么!收获的好坏，果实的大小这一种权力还是属于我们，“尽吾我”，只要自己曾经努力过，又何必在乎结果呢?只要自己曾经拥有过，何必在意好坏呢?只在自己曾经尽力地付出过，又何必看重收获的多与少呢?

付出就必定有收获，而收获的好坏还是在于自己，不要去找客观原因，不要去推卸责任，勇敢地面对现实，人偶然也是会出错的，不用畏惧，以后再努力，记住：只有付出才能收获，没有不劳而获的美差事。

人们常说：“一分耕耘，一分收获。”要想收获，就必须付出。

记得有一位老师对我们说过：“因为你们还不懂得付出，所以收获并不多。”听了这句话后，我真的觉得很惭愧，自我呱呱落地那天起，我付出的寥寥可数，而别人为我付出的则是多不胜数，例如父母为了养育我而付出，老师为了教育我而付出，他们的付出都不渴望回报。而我们呢?不但没有付出，还希望收获。当我们看到别人受到表扬的时候，也希望受到别人的赞赏，但自己所做的一切根本就不值得表扬。当我们看到别人取得优异的成绩的时候，也希望得到优异的成绩，但自己却没有努力学习。

如果这种喜欢“不劳而获”的想法成了习惯，那么我们就会很自私，在社会上的人际关系就会变得很糟糕，在我们班上，自私的同学也不少见。当发现自己的脚下有一团废纸时，谁也不愿意捡起来，只会把废纸踢到另一个同学的脚下。而这个同学也不会捡起来，把纸团继续传来传去，这种场面就像在球场上传球一样，而跟运动员不同的是，我们每一个人都不想要这个“球”。就这样传来传去，直到传到了一个热心的同学的脚下时，纸团才能顺利地去到垃圾桶里。有时纸团刚好呆在过道中间，同学们就会视若无睹。试问：弯下腰捡起废纸团能消耗我们多少力气呢?为什么我们要吝啬这么一丁点的爱心呢?

当我们做一件事时，第一时间是想什么呢?是思考做了这件事后会吃亏。假如这件事每个人都觉得做了后会吃亏，还会有什么人做这件事呢?

要想收获，就必须付出，付出了就不应该计较收获。

Two years ago, the ofo became popular in China. The government advocated

ofo plan and wanted to facilitate people’s lives. Nowadays, ofo is favored by

more and more people, especially in the big cities. It can help people to save

time and some people can use it to take a visit of the city. The foreigners

speak highly of ofo. They say it brings great convenience to them. What’s more,

in the big cities, the traffic always get congested. At this moment, ofo is

great help to them. People don’t need to worry about being late. But the problem

comes. Some bikes are damaged and people condemn such behavior. Everybody should

behave themselves and make ofo works well.

As the economy is developing so rapidly, people’s attitude towards life is changing at the same time. Credit cards are becoming more and more popular. but what advantages and disadvantages do they have?

Firstly, it is quite convenient ant safe for us to use a credit card. Cash-stolen does not exist in this way. People now take a card instead of a heavy purse wherever they go. Secondly, credit cards represent great honour. People using credit cards shows his special identity and draw others attention.

On the other hand, credit cards are not always that good. Credit cards can lead to overspending somehow. People pay more than they have and then get busy paying off. Furthermore the credit card cheating happens more often.

In my opinion, credit cards do good in our life. But we should use them carefully. Only when used credit cards properly can make contribution to a more convenient and safer life.

Since I go to middle school, I have to learn many subjects. Though I am not

the best student in class, but I won’t give up. I always tell myself to work

hard, because if I want to compete with other students, I need to make great

effort. People are easy to deny themselves when they face difficulty. If they

fail one time, then they will doubt the effort they have made. Actually, we are

not studying in vain. What we learn will be a great help to improve ourselves.

The thing we learn decides what kinds of person we are. So don’t deny yourself,

as you will see the value you have stored before in the future.

大家经常说，付出就有收获但常常是说的人多，能坚持做到的人很少，你想呀，你天天在家吹空调，看电视，打游戏，还想成为有钱人，明星，学习好的人，那就是痴心妄想。老天爷可对每个人多少公平的，你做了什么，他可都看得“明明白白”的，接下来我就给你们说说的事情吧！

今天是星期六，我照例去上数学课，上课时，我突然感觉今天上课的内容有点简单呢？我不由得想其暑假我拼命学习的悲惨景象了（本段的重点字是惨）。放暑假时，8月，那可是一年最热的时候，我每天中午吃了饭，要先坐公交，再转地铁，去上课，每节课有三个小时，有时候还要加时间，很多时候上得头昏脑胀，关键的课后测试我还考得很差。那时我的信心全飞了，我觉得我的数学毫无天赋，我想放弃，但我妈要把我打成“人肉包”呀！主要是我妈说了选好了就要坚持，不能轻易放弃。每天学完会家，还有写不完的作业在等着我呢。当时我觉得我觉得学这些东西一点用也莫有。

到今天上课时，我突然发现了，以前学过的知识为我打下了基础，今天听课我就觉得很简单，课后测试，我第一个交卷，也是以满分告终的人。我突然感觉我的自信心又回归了，我觉得我的数学好像也不是很差。

如果我假期的时候因为困难而放弃了学数学，那我的数学就真的不好了，自信心也真的没有了。要想有收获我们就要不怕困难，永不放弃，才能得到你想要的一起。

请记住——有付出就要收获。

When we are little, we are eager to grow up, so that we can break free of

parental discipline even leave them far. Since we were a little child, we have

to be governed by teachers in school and endure parent’s ramble at home. These

are our growing pains. Besides, study, friendship, sometimes campus romance may

trouble us. However, as we grow up, we gradually find that things mentioned

above are not pains at all. There are much more serious things brother us. For

example, we may be less sensitive to the simple happiness and loss them

gradually. It’s hard for us to laugh from our heart. Moreover, we are in the age

that we are eager to grow up but afraid to grow up either. The ambivalence

afflicts us a lot. However, no matter what happens in our growth, they are parts

of our lives. We must accept them actively and do not let the pains prevent us

from happiness.

秋天，收获的季节，柿子红了，稻子黄了，花生也熟了……今年秋天，我来到了乡下田野，跟外婆学着挖花生。

来到花生田里，只见花生藤上的叶子有的已经枯黄，有的黄绿相间，也有少数是碧绿的，显得很有生机。我知道，在土壤下的花生根上，一定有许多花生宝宝。

我接过外婆给我的小锹，一下一下挖了起来。本以为只需很轻松地翻开土就能有所斩获，可我使尽九牛二虎之力，手都挖红了，还是没见到一颗花生。唉，真叫人失望。原先兴冲冲的我只好安静地坐在边上看外婆挖。只见她一手拿着小锹，一手将花生藤一把抓起，然后猛地将小锹往土里一插，此时，她并没有像我一样翻开土，而是上下左右摇了摇小锹，然后继续深挖。接着，她轻轻一撬，整棵花生就被连根拔起了，一颗颗花生就像珠子一样挂在根须上，水灵得像一个个胖娃娃。顾不上我惊羡的目光，她又继续挖下一棵了。

我也依葫芦画瓢，重复了一遍外婆的动作：抓、插、挖、摇、拔。终于成功收获了人生中的第一棵花生。阳光下，被泥土裹着的花生露出了星星点点的土黄色，我迫不及待地抖掉花生上的泥土，却因为用力过猛，甩了自己一身的泥巴。外婆忍不住笑了：“瞧你那猴急样子，这下惨了吧!”我自己也哈哈大笑起来。

在我们的欢笑声中，花生挖了一篮又一篮，真是一派丰收景象。这次经历，也成为我在这个秋天最大的收获。

The Mid-Autumn Festival has all interesting history. Long ago in one of the

dynasties of China there was a king who was very cruel to the people and did not

manage the country well. The people were so angry that some brave ones suggested

killing the king. So they wrote notes telling about the meeting place and time

and put them into cakes.

On the 15th day of the 8th lunar month every person was told to buy the

cakes. When they ate them they discovered the notes. So they gathered together

to make a sudden attack on the king. From then on the Chinese people celebrate

on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month and eat moon cakes in memory of that

important event.

When the Mid-Autumn Festival is near, shop windows are beautifully

decorated. Many moon cakes are displayed for people to buy. People send presents

such aswine, fruits and moon cakes to their friends and relatives. In the

evening of the day, they have a feast. After the feast, they go out to the

garden to look at the moon. The children run and laugh on the streets.

It is believed that the moon is at her brightest on this night. Many poems

have been written about it, and poets are never tired of reading and writing

such poems. In Chinese literature, the moon of the Mid Autumn Festival has been

compared to a looking-glass, a jade rabbit, and so on. It seems that Chinese

literature takes far more interest in the moon than in the sun.

21st century is the century of technology. Nowadays, technology is

everywhere around us. The development of technology has a significant affact

toward the society. Several technologies that we usually use are the internet,

computer, and cellphone. These new technologies make our life much easier and

better.

First, the development of computer changes our life. Decades ago, people

needed to do lots of complex calculation on hand because they did not have

computer, and more obvious, they did not have the software for calculation. As

the result of that, people spent hours on the equations that a computer can

solve in just a minute. Since the development of computer, people are able to

use some kind of software to compute lots of complex functions and mathematical

calculation. Computer becomes the most helpful equipment for the sciencists

because they can use their time more efficiently.

Also, internet is another useful tool for us today. The development of

internet brings a great impact toward the society. Instead of going to library

and fliping all the books to figure out some information, we can just simply use

a mouse and click on the website to do research. The internet leads us to a

place where we can find unlimited information and resources. It makes our life

much easier and better.

The last technology is cellphone. Nowadays, many people have a cellphone.

But it just appears on the market for about 10 years. It is very convenience to

the users because we can talk to anyone we want with a phone as small as a

wallet. Also, we can communicate with others by making a phone call instead of

sending letters. It is very fast and useful way to communicate.

In conclusion, I believe the development of technology brings significant

impact to our life. It is very helpful to us and I believe technology will keep

improving in future.

这一天我们家有点不一样，选择去田地里收花生。有的人可能会觉得这是一件非常累的事情，但我们感到非常开心，这是为什么呢?现在，就让我从头到尾给大家讲一下吧。

我生长在城市，对庄稼一无所知，妈妈为了让我认识庄稼，体验农民的不易和劳动的快乐，今年春天，妈妈特意让她同事给了我们家一块田地种花生，我们也像农民伯伯一样进行了耕田和播种。花生发芽以后，爸爸妈妈经常带我去给花生浇水、除草。

夏天里的一天，我和爸爸妈妈再去除草时，发现花生地里的草比花生长得还茂盛，我们顶着炎炎烈日，赶紧把草一棵一棵拔得干干净净。看着田地里满眼绿油油的花生苗，我们笑了，花生似乎也笑了。

终于到了秋天，到了花生收获的季节，我们一家人利用中秋节放假的机会，迫不急待地来到花生地里收花生。爸爸用铲子把花生从田地里铲出来，我和妈妈用手把花生的果实从它的根部一颗一颗地摘下来。哇，让我们没有想到的是，最终，竟然摘了满满一大袋花生，全家人心中别提有多高兴了，这可是我们亲手栽培的果实呀，每个人脸上都写满了丰收的喜悦。

In recent years, college studentsfind it increasingly difficult toget a

job. It sounds strange since young college students are usually intelligent,

well-educated phenomenon, aspirant and eager to bring their talent into full

play. Then what underlies the strange phenomenon?

There are several reasons for this.To begin with, nowadays college students

aim too high. All they want are “good” jobs which could offer good salary,

comfortable working conditions, high social status among others. Consequently,

most college students are unwilling to accept vacant jobs they consider

not“good” enough. Another reason is thatthere is a big gap between the majors

some students study in school and the demands of vacant jobs. So companies think

some students are not fit for the jobs.

Solution to the problem requiresefforts on both the society and the

students. The companies should value the students, talent and knowledge while

the latter should not merely aim at material gains. They should be down-to–earth

in building up their career. Furthermore, they should face their weak points so

as to improve themselves and be more competent.

I,m so glad to receive your letter, in which you wanted to know about the

Dragon Boat Festival in China.

I feel honored to tell you about it. Celebrated on May 5th in the lunar

calendar, it is a folk festival having a history of more than two thousand

years. Also, it is one of the most important festivals in China.

As for the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival, there are many beautiful

legends, of which the story about Qu Yuan is most widely accepted. Qu Yuan, a

Chinese poet who loved his country deeply, drowned himself in the Miluo River

after his country’s being defeated. To honor him, people in China hold various

activities every year, including eating zongzi and dragon boat racing.

I hope you can come to China to enjoy it for yourself.

Since we were born as a little baby, we get help from others all the time.

Our parents raise us, our teachers teach us and our friends company us.

Therefore, it’s important for us to be grateful to those people who give us a

hand. Being grateful is a way to show them our appreciation and our love. No one

in the world is supposed to love us without any conditions. Moreover, Being

grateful to others and to what you get can lead you are ready to help others,

too. I think this is the most important impact on people that being grateful. If

we are all show our appreciation to others and then help others, we could build

a friendly and harmonious society.

When i was in high school, I had to study all the time and hardly had spare

time to do what i wanted to.Besides, I had to focus on my textbooks and doing

exercise again and again. Therefore, I had little time to read magazines and

novels and watch TV. what was worse, I couldnt play with my friends a lot, which

I couldnt stand the most. In a word, all i did in high shool should be

considered for the College Entrance Examination.

However, my college life is totally different from the life in high

school.I can arrange my time freely. I spend most of my time reading in the

library, where I can open my eyes and broaden my mind.In my free time, I also

join some clubs,where i can make a lot of friends of different majors. My

teachers in college are so kind and knowledgeable that they not only teach us

knowledge but also how to be a person and how to get on with others. In

addition, there are more opportunities for me to improve myself.

I believe college life is an important stage in my life. In college, i can

learn how to learn by myself, how to get on with others, how to live

independently.College provides me with a stage where i can show myself and be

myself.

正在全党开展的以县处级以上领导干部为重点的“不忘初心、牢记使命”主题教育，正当其时、意义重大。习近平同志强调，“领导机关和领导干部要先学一步、学深一点，先改起来、改实一点”。领导干部是党的事业的骨干，必须深刻认识这次主题教育的重大意义，坚决贯彻落实习近平同志这一重要要求，为确保这次主题教育取得扎扎实实成效发挥关键作用。

党的十八大以来，我们党先后部署开展党的群众路线教育实践活动、“三严三实”专题教育、“两学一做”学习教育，广大领导干部受到了深刻的思想洗礼和党性教育。这些党内教育都突出抓好领导干部这个“关键少数”。正是因为抓住了“关键少数”，才使党内教育取得扎扎实实成效，有力推动党的事业发展。开展这次“不忘初心、牢记使命”主题教育，是我们党在继承和发扬以往党内教育优良传统的基础上，结合新时代的新特点加强自身建设的精准发力，是在推进伟大社会革命进程中进行的一次伟大自我革命，是推进全面从严治党的重大举措和有力抓手，必须突出领导干部这个重点。

领导干部先学一步、学深一点，是加强理论武装的迫切需要。我们党自诞生之日起，就把马克思主义写在自己的旗帜上。不断强化党的创新理论学习、教育、武装工作，是我们党的巨大优势。理论创新每前进一步，理论武装就要跟进一步。党的十八大以来，以习近平同志为核心的党中央从理论和实践结合上系统回答了新时代坚持和发展什么样的中国特色社会主义、怎样坚持和发展中国特色社会主义这一重大时代课题，形成了习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想。开展这次主题教育，是用习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想武装全党的迫切需要。当前，一些领导干部在理论学习上同党中央的要求相比还存在一定差距。有的领导干部是急用急学、现用现学，学习理论缺乏计划、不够系统，还存在学习不够、领会不深、悟得不透等问题。坚持思想建党、理论强党，领导干部必须在理论上强起来。在主题教育中，要聚焦“理论学习有收获”，使领导干部在原有学习的基础上取得新进步，不断加深对习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想和党中央大政方针的理解，学深悟透，切实做到学思用贯通、知信行统一。

领导干部先改起来、改实一点，是保持先进性和纯洁性的必然要求。这次主题教育强调要认真贯彻新时代党的建设总要求，同一切影响党的先进性、弱化党的纯洁性的问题作坚决斗争，努力把我们党建设得更加坚强有力。我们党的发展历史证明，领导干部只有不忘初心、牢记使命，才能保持先进性和纯洁性，党的事业才能兴旺发达。现实中，一些领导干部身上之所以存在这样那样的问题，从根本上说是因为忘记了初心、忘记了使命，从而迷失了方向、丧失了党性。领导干部手中都掌握着一定的权力，更要在保持先进性和纯洁性上作出表率。领导干部要通过这次主题教育，坚持高标准、严要求，有的放矢进行整改，始终保持先进性和纯洁性。应把学习教育、调查研究、检视问题、整改落实贯穿主题教育全过程。把主题教育同完成改革发展稳定各项任务结合起来，同自身的思想实际和工作实际结合起来，同正在做的事情结合起来，坚决防止“空对空”“两张皮”等不良现象，努力取得最好成效。

There is an old Chinese saying: Top students come from strict teachers.

Perhaps affected by this saying for a long time, we believe it right. However,

as time flies, lots of things have changed. Therefore, I am eager to discuss

what relation is the best between teachers and students.A teacher can treat a

student in two ways .One is strict, and the other is friendly. Most teachers

prefer the first way.To start with, we certainly have to admit that strictness

is very effective, especially to the naughty pupils.

As pupils we aren’t able to control ourselves well or fix our attention on

one thing for a long time. We do most things because they are interesting or we

feel like doing. We are always looking out of the window in class. Sometimes, we

get to play games and forget our homework. On this occasion, strictness is a

must. It not only forces us to do the right thing, but also helps us develop a

good learning habit, which is of great importance during our whole life .In

other words, it is the first step to success.Still, everything has two sides.

Its weak points are very obvious. You see, there’re top students in a class,

where average students make up the majority. Then teachers’ orders or

suggestions are for the majority, not for top students. However, top students

always have their own study plans and prefer special homework, so orders usually

won’t take great effect on them.

Maybe you have thought out that teachers can give orders only to the

majority and set some freedom to top students. However, it’s impossible .For a

whole class, teachers couldn’t give order to part of the class, for the majority

would question why they needn’t do such work, but we need? It would be probable

that they think teachers treat them not equally, and will not obey teachers’

orders any more. This is a difficulty for teachers.It also has another

disadvantage——the communication problem .Since teachers are strict, we never

tell teachers our personal affairs or secrets. Mostly we just tell them to our

friends, but as students too, they couldn’t help to solve our problem, such as

puppy love, communication problems or study problems .Not being solved

completely, they always disturb us, influencing our daily life and study. I’m

sure that you think that making friends with teachers can solve the problem, and

you are eager to do so as well. But if we do so, new problems will come out .You

see, an adult couldnt control himself well at times, let alone us students.

However if teachers are our friends, I doubt whether their orders will take

effect any more .You see, have we ever treated our friends’ orders as orders? We

think they’re only jokes. This is another difficulty for teachers.Additionally,

our parents have the same problem. Yes, we need to be friends, but not complete

friends. We need to keep a certain distance, making us communicate well and

willing to take your orders. I remember a story.One day, a lady had her rest

room decorated. And a skilled worker was bricking up the wall. Seeing large

cracks between the bricks, she questioned why. The worker told her after this

summer, the bricks would become bigger, and those cracks would disappear.That is

not only decoration, but also communication. The principle is the same.

This is a touching book, but also gives people a happy book, but also gives an enlightening book. This is Cao Wenxuan novel "grass house," I left a deep impression. Although I have not personally experienced a novel heroine Sangsang around what happened to some things, but small Sangsang and his partners often lifelike image to emerge in my eyes. Sangsang especially a good friend - on paper the miserable fate of not only caused the shock of my soul, I feel the life in the United States.

On paper is similar to my age girl, her mother gave birth shortly after her death, she and her grandmother have been Xiangyiweiming. Paper, is a great girl, her brush is the word, Yau Ma Tei, primary school students in one of the best written, she will be back many ancient poetry, readings also very good, writing is not bad, but not on paper Yisiyihao the Best.

On paper, a Wenruo, tranquil and soft ﹑ innocent girls. She May 6, to go back and forth to school, in the way to school are often bad boy bully, and the delay in the class, shes endured in silence. Later, her grandmother also left from her, leaving her standing alone one person, her life has never complained about what.

Although the paper on the growth in rural areas, not superior living environment, not gorgeous Yizhuang, in my eyes she was then the United States, like the lotus pond in Hanbaodaifang.

And her comparison, I have a lucky number. I love my parents, I have a prosperous life conditions, I have excellent learning environment. At the same time, and I do compared to her more favourably. Ying Chen paper on the human body the United States, paper, I understand, the United States is quietly endure Zaikunnanzhong; United States is quietly persist in the face of adversity; Park in the United States is the real simple life.

Every year, my school holds sports meeting in about October, I am very

exciting about it, I can watch the wonderful game and don’t have class. My

school’s sports meeting lasts three days, the class is suspended, all the

students go to the play ground to watch the game. As an audience, I am so

nervous and yell out “come on” to my classmate, watching they get to the final

line, I am so proud of them. The part I like most is relay race, that is so

exciting, all the students yell loudly, the athletes chase one by one, nobody

can be sure who is the champion until the last minute. Sports meeting bring me

so many beautiful memories.

According to the Chinese tradition，at the very beginning of a new year，

when there is a bright full moon hanging in the sky， there should be thousands

of colorful lanterns hung out.

During the Lantern Festival， people will try to solve the puzzles on the

lanterns and eat yuanxiao (glutinous rice ball)。

In the Sui Dynasty in the sixth century， Emperor Yangdi invited envoys from

other countries to China to see the colorful lighted lanterns and enjoy the gala

performances.

By the beginning of the Tang Dynasty in the seventh century， the lantern

displays would last three days. The emperor also lifted the curfew， allowing the

people to enjoy the festive lanterns day and night.

In the Song Dynasty， the festival was celebrated for five days and the

activities began to spread to many of the big cities in China.

Today，3the displaying of lanterns is still a big event on the 15th day of

the first lunar month throughout China.

The fillings inside the dumplings or Yuansiao are either sweet or salty.

Sweet fillings are made of sugar，Walnuts，sesame，osmanthus flowers，rose petals，or

jujube paste etc. A single ingredient or any combination can be used as the

filling . The salty variety is filled with minced meat，vegetables etc.

Two years ago, I was a bad child, I didn’t listen to what my parents told

me, I do against what they expect me to do. One day, I go home very late, my

mother is very angry, but she says nothing. At first, I feel happy, the next

morning, she still ignores me, I begin to feel lonely, I cry and say sorry. My

mother smiles and says I should change myself, since then, I become a good

child.
