这篇《麦琪礼物》写一对年轻的夫妻,丈夫有一只金表却没有相称的表链;妻子有一头美丽的长发,却没有相配的发梳,丈夫卖掉手表为妻子买了许多梳子,而妻子卖掉长发给丈夫买了金表链。两人同时为对方考虑各自干出了动力心魄的“壮举”,使得双方的愿望都落了空。也许他们很傻,但是这种夫妻之间的深情却让人万分感动。读完了这本书,发现欧 ·亨利的作品大多比较短,故事总是很戏剧性、行文幽默让我很喜欢。

这本书里。最让我喜欢的是《弃恶从善》这个故事。里面讲了一个刑满释放刚出监狱的犯人,因缺钱所以又参加了两次偷窃活动后隐姓埋名跑到了另一个小镇,却又因爱神的捉弄喜欢上了银行老板的女儿,所以留在了这个他不熟悉的小镇。有一天,因为一个特殊的原因是他暴露了自己的身份,于是,他在找到跟踪他的警察之后自首,可警察竟然没有抓他。喜欢这个故事的原因是故事里的每个人都有一副好心肠:警察因知道事情原委所以没逮捕主人公基米,基米则因为弃恶从善、改邪归正所以成为了小镇上小有名气的富翁,而老板的女儿莉则因为听了基米的解释后相信他,并幸福的生活在了一起。

我看完这个故事后常常在想,假如我们的社会中也多一些这样的人该多好呀!像我的同桌倪心源,虽然成绩不好,但每次我问他借东西,他总是能答应我。还有葛卜瑞,也有一副好心肠,每次遇到班上同学有困难,需要帮助的时候,他总是第一个举手的。还有姚佳辰、张忻恒等等,在我们班上都是有着一副好心肠。

读了欧?亨利的名作《麦琪的礼物》,我才深深地感受到了欧?亨利小说的吸引力。

小说的结尾总是出乎人的意料,往往对整部作品有着画龙点睛的作用这种结尾往往会造成心灵的震憾,给人更直接地心灵暗示,爱是相通的,但又是不可理喻的,只要互相谅解,互相支持,互相帮助,人世间将开满绚烂的爱之花!

With the development scientific technology and the improvement of people’s life standard, a growing number of e-books have been available for the readers. Therefore, some people hold the idea that e-books will replace traditional books in the future, because the former is more advantageous than the latter, such as more convenient and less expensive.

随着科技的发展和人们生活水平的提高,读者可以看到越来越多的电子书。因此,有些人认为电子书在未来会取代传统书籍,因为前者比后者更有优势,如更方便和更便宜。

However, as far as I am concerned, e-books will not and cannot replace traditional books. First, compared with traditional books, we cannot get the same pleasure from reading e-books in that e-books are easier to make our eyes to be tired and dry when reading. Second, with concern about copyright, there are many books are not available in digital form, especially classics. In other words, the resource of e-books is quite limited and cannot satisfy the readers. Third, there is a function of traditional books that e-books do not have—as a gift and a collection. I suppose that those who love reading would be willing to keep a printed form even though he has read the electronic form of it.

然而,我认为电子书不会、也不能取代传统书籍。首先,与传统书籍相比,从电子书中我们不能获得同样的乐趣,因为电子书阅读的时候更容易使我们的眼睛累,干燥。第二,因为版权问题,有许多书是没有电子形式,尤其是一些经典著作。换句话说,电子书的资源是非常有限,无法满足读者。第三,传统书籍有一个电子书没有的功能——作为礼物或拿来收集。我想那些爱阅读的人会愿意保存着纸质版的书,尽管他已经阅读过电子版的了。

In a word, traditional books will continue to be the most important form in our reading.

总之,在阅读方面,传统书籍会一直成为最重要的形式。

欧亨利的微型小说《麦琪礼物》中所讲述的,是一个圣诞节里发生在社会下层的小家庭中荒.唐却感人的故事。男主人公吉姆是一位薪金仅够维持生活的小职员,女主人公德拉是一位贤惠善良的主妇。

他们的生活贫穷,但吉姆和德拉各自拥有一样极珍贵的宝物——吉姆祖传的一块金表就算“地下室堆满金银财宝、所罗门王又是守门人的话,每当吉姆飘过那儿,准会摸出金表,好让那所罗门王忌妒得吹胡子瞪眼睛”;德拉一头秀丽的瀑布般的秀发则能够“使那巴示女王的珍珠宝贝黔然失色”。

为了能在圣诞节送给对方一件礼物,吉姆卖掉了他的金表为德拉买了一套“纯玳瑁做的,边上镶着珠宝”的梳子;德拉卖掉了自己的长发为吉姆买了一条白金表链。头次明白这个文章的时候是在收音机里听到的。那时候年纪很小收听的时候没有什么感觉,只是有个困惑让我百思不得其解,为什么小说里面的主人公表带和梳子都买不起直到之后看到原著才明白那是镶满宝石的梳子和白金的表带。当时电台选用这个小说播放也是为了当时的政治需要,好让我们感受到社会主义的温暖资本阶级社会的丑恶,当然了这些都是长大以后才慢慢明白的。自从接触到这个原作之后,这个小说就一向伴随着我。时不时的拿出来温习下里面的情节,故事虽小但是处处闪烁着人性的光辉,温暖亲情、至爱、忠贞。在艰难困苦环境下一对相爱相依的夫妻,用自己最珍惜的东西去换取对方所心爱的礼物。

故事虽说是有些杯具性的色彩但是烘托出来的却是比万金更要贵重的人与人之间的关爱。在文章当中作者并没有进行什么说教评论式的叙述,而是对周围环境的细致刻画及其家庭状况的详细描述,使之人物呼之欲出,仿佛这样的事情就发生在我们身边的城市。古语云:患难时刻见真情。纵观我们当今的环境名利当头,人与人之间的冷漠,事不关己高高挂起,完全以利益为重。道德、亲情、感情被金钱冲散的支离破碎。为了利益与金钱夫妻分道扬镳,兄弟反目,朋友相互猜疑,仿佛只有功利才是第一位的。

而目前评判一个人的价值成功与否,都是以他拥有多少的财富与地位的高低挂钩。无论这个人的心地多么的善良已经无关轻重,以貌取人成为了我们衡量一个人的标准。中国自古以来的谦卑、道德准则至于脑后。人们有时看到公共场合的不端作为竟已然无动于衷,处处充满了麻木。反而对出现的一些拥有奉献精神的行为嗤之以鼻,到达了劣币逐良的程度。正如柏杨及其鲁迅先生所说这个社会就是一个大染缸,任何一种异质的文化到了这个大染缸里就失去了原先的本性。而然这篇文章却能时时唤起人们内心的本善,使之能够让人还能够体会到世间真情的祥和与温暖,主导的人性并不是尔虞我诈,见利忘意。正如诺贝尔奖获得者特雷莎修女所说:“我们常常无法做伟大的事,但我们能够用伟大的爱去做些小事。”

"让我来爱,直到受伤."我们每个人就应发扬自己奉献的爱心,去关爱世人让这个世间变的更加完美。

只要是经典的,就必定是难忘的。

暑假里,我读了美国作家欧·亨利的短篇小说《麦琪礼物》。一篇经典美文,让我过目难忘,回味无穷。

《麦琪的礼物》讲述了麦琪和吉姆相互送圣诞礼物的故事。麦琪和吉姆是生活在社会最底层的贫穷市民。他们夫妇俩各有一件引以自豪的东西,那就是麦琪那褐色的瀑布般的秀发和吉姆祖传的金表。圣诞节来临的时候,为了给对方买一件像样的礼物,麦琪卖掉了她美丽的长发,为吉姆的金表配了一条白金表链;而吉姆卖掉了宝贵的金表,为麦琪买了一套她以前在百老汇的橱窗里看到并羡慕得要死的昂贵的梳子。

虽然麦琪和吉姆的物质生活是贫穷的,但是他们的精神世界是如此富有;虽然他们极不明智地为对方牺牲了他们家最宝贵的东西,但是他们把对彼此的爱表现得如此生动。

麦琪和吉姆的故事只是漫长人生中的一个小小片段,然而作者却把整个故事写得跌宕起伏、引人入胜。总是短短几句话就把主人公的动作、表情、心理活动描写得维妙维肖、生动形象。并且我感到,作者一直是用同情的笔触, 来描写麦琪和吉姆贫穷生活中的这个小插曲,仿佛有一双温暖的眼睛,一直在注视着他们,鼓励着他们。这也许就是这篇文章成为经典的奥妙所在吧。

作者说:麦琪和吉姆是“所有馈赠和接受礼物的人中最聪明的人”,是圣贤;而我要说:发现他们是“最聪明的人”的作者,更是圣贤。

There were three of them. There were four of us, and April lay on the campsite and on the river, a mixture of dawn at a damp extreme and the sun in the leaves at cajole. This was Deer Lodge on the Pine River in Ossipee, New Hampshire, though the lodge was naught but a foundation remnant in the earth. Brother Bentleys father, Oren, had found this place sometime after the First World War, a foreign affair that had seriously done him no good but he found solitude abounding here. Now we were here, post World War II, post Korean War, Vietnam War on the brink. So much learned, so much yet to learn.

Peace then was everywhere about us, in the riot of young leaves, in the spree of bird confusion and chatter, in the struggle of pre-dawn animals for the start of a new day, a Cooper Hawk that had smashed down through trees for a squealing rabbit, yap of a fox at a youngster, a skunk at rooting.

We had pitched camp in the near darkness, Ed LeBlanc, Brother Bentley, Walter Ruszkowski, myself. A dozen or more years we had been here, and seen no one. Now, into our campsite deep in the forest, so deep that at times we had to rebuild sections of narrow road (more a loggers path) flushed out by earlier rains, deep enough where we thought wed again have no traffic, came a growling engine, an old solid body van, a Chevy, the kind I had driven for Frankie Pike and the Lobster Pound in Lynn delivering lobsters throughout the Merrimack Valley. It had pre-WW II high fenders, a faded black paint on a body youd swear had been hammered out of corrugated steel, and an engine that made sounds too angry and too early for the start of day. Two elderly men, we supposed in their seventies, sat the front seat; felt hats at the slouch and decorated with an assortment of tied flies like a miniature bandoleer of ammunition on the band. They could have been conscripts for Emilano Zappata, so loaded their hats and their vests as they climbed out of the truck.

"Mornin, been yet?" one of them said as he pulled his boots up from the folds at his knees, the tops of them as wide as a big mouth bass coming up from the bottom for a frog sitting on a lily pad. His hands were large, the fingers long and I could picture them in a shop barn working a primal plane across the face of a maple board. Custom-made, old elegance, those hands said.

"Barely had coffee," Ed LeBlanc said, the most vocal of the four of us, quickest at friendship, at shaking hands. "Weve got a whole pot almost. Have what you want." The pot was pointed out sitting on a hunk of grill across the stones of our fire, flames licking lightly at its sides. The pot appeared as if it had been at war, a number of dents scarred it, the handle had evidently been replaced, and if not adjusted against a small rock it would have fallen over for sure. Once, a half-hour on the road heading north, noting it missing, wed gone back to get it. When we fished the Pine River, coffee was the glue, the morning glue, the late evening glue, even though wed often unearth our beer from a natural cooler in early evening. Coffee, camp coffee, has a ritual. It is thick, it is dark, it is potboiled over a squaw-pine fire, it is strong, it is enough to wake the demon in you, stoke last evenings cheese and pepperoni. First man up makes the fire, second man the coffee; but into that pot has to go fresh eggshells to hold the grounds down, give coffee a taste of history, a sense of place. That means at least one egg be cracked open for its shells, usually in the shadows and glimmers of false dawn. I suspect thats where "scrambled eggs" originated, from some camp like ours, settlers rushing west, lumberjacks hungry, hoboes lobbying for breakfast. So, camp coffee has made its way into poems, gatherings, memories, a time and thing not letting go, not being manhandled, not being cast aside.

英语作文阅读:AnEmptyBox

Once upon a time, a man punished his 5-year-old daughter for using up the familys only roll of expensive gold wrapping paper. Money was tight, and he became even more upset when on Christmas Eve, he saw that the child had pasted the gold paper so as to decorate a shoebox to put under the Christmas tree.

Nevertheless, the next morning the little girl, filled with excitement, brought the gift box to her father and said, "This is for you, Daddy!"

As he opened the box, the father was embarrassed by his earlier overreaction.

But when he opened it, he found it was empty and again his anger flared. "Dont you know, young lady, " he said harshly, "when you give someone a present theres supposed to be something inside the package!"

The little girl looked up at him with tears rolling from her eyes and said: "Daddy, its not empty. I blew kisses into it until it was all full."

The father was crushed. He fell on his knees and put his arms around his precious little girl. He begged her to forgive him for his unnecessary anger.

An accident took the life of the child only a short time later. It is told that the father kept that little gold box by his bed for all the years of his life. Whenever he was discouraged or faced difficult problems he would open the box, take out an imaginary kiss, and remember the love of this beautiful child who had put it there.

In a very real sense, each of us as human beings have been given an invisible golden box filled with unconditional love and kisses from our children, family, friends and God.

There is no more precious possession anyone could hold.

英语作文阅读:HappinessEquateswithFun

I live in Hollywood. You may think people in such a glamorous, fun-filled place are happier than others. If so, you have some mistaken ideas about the nature of happiness.

Many intelligent people still equate happiness with fun. The truth is that fun and happiness have little or nothing in common. Fun is what we experience during an act. Happiness is what we experience after an act. It is a deeper, more abiding emotion.

Going to an amusement park or ball game, watching a movie or television, are fun activities that help us relax, temporarily forget our problems and maybe even laugh. But they do not bring happiness, because their positive effects end when the fun ends.

I have often thought that if Hollywood stars have a role to play, it is to teach us that happiness has nothing to do with fun. These rich, beautiful inpiduals have constant access to glamorous parties, fancy cars, expensive homes, everything that spells "happiness".

But in memoir after memoir, celebrities reveal the unhappiness hidden beneath all their fun: depression, alcoholism, drug addiction, broken marriages, troubled children, profound loneliness.

The way people cling to the belief that a fun-filled, pain-free life equates happiness actually diminishes their chances of ever attaining real happiness. If fun and pleasure are equated with happiness, then pain must be equated with unhappiness. But, in fact, the opposite is true: More times than not, things that lead to happiness involve some pain.

As a result, many people avoid the very endeavors that are the source of true happiness. They fear the pain inevitably brought by such things as marriage, raising children, professional achievement, religious commitment, civic or charitable work, and self-improvement.

英语作文阅读:TodayisaGift

Two men, both seriously ill, occupied the same hospital room. One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon to help drain the fluid from his lungs. His bed was next to the room‘s only window. The other man had to spend all his time flat on his back. The men talked for hours on end.

They spoke of their wives and families, their homes, their jobs, their involvement in the military service, where they had been on vacation. And every afternoon when the man in the bed by the window could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see outside the window. The man in the other bed began to live for those one-hour periods where his world would be broadened and enlivened by all the activity and color of the world outside.

The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake. Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Young lovers walked arm in arm amidst flowers of every color of the rainbow. Grand old trees graced the landscape, and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance. As the man by the window described all this in exquisite detail, the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and imagine the picturesque scene.

One warm afternoon the man by the window described a parade passing by. Although the other man couldn‘t hear the band - he could see it in his mind‘s eye as the gentleman by the window portrayed it with descriptive words.

Days and weeks passed. One morning, the day nurse arrived to bring water for their baths only to find the lifeless body of the man by the window, who had died peacefully in his sleep. She was saddened and called the hospital attendants to take the body away.

As soon as it seemed appropriate, the other man asked if he could be moved next to the window. The nurse was happy to make the switch, and after making sure he was comfortable, she left him alone. Slowly and painfully, he propped himself up on one elbow to take his first look at the world outside. Finally, he would have the joy of seeing it for himself. He strained to slowly turn to look out the window beside the bed. It faced a blank wall.

The man asked the nurse what could have compelled his deceased roommate who had described such wonderful things outside this window. The nurse responded that the man was blind and could not even see the wall. She said, "Perhaps he just wanted to encourage you."

英语作文阅读:IsPackingImportanttoYou

A young man was getting ready to graduate from college. For many months he had admired a beautiful sports car in a dealers showroom, and knowing his father could well afford it, he told him that was all he wanted.

As Graduation Day approached, the young man awaited signs that his father had purchased the car. Finally, on the morning of his graduation, his father called him into his private study. His father told him how proud he was to have such a fine son, and told him how much he loved him. He handed his son a beautiful wrapped gift box. Curious, but somewhat disappointed, the young man opened the box and found a lovely, leather-bound Bible, with the young mans name embossed in gold.

Angrily, he raised his voice to his father and said, "With all your money you give me a Bible?" He then stormed out of the house, leaving the Bible.

Many years passed and the young man was very successful in business. He had a beautiful home and a wonderful family, but realizing his father was very old, he thought perhaps he should go to see him. He had not seen him since that graduation day. Before he could make the arrangements, he received a telegram telling him his father had passed away, and willed all of his possessions to his son. He needed to come home immediately and take care of things.

When he arrived at his fathers house, sudden sadness and regret filled his heart. He began to search through his fathers important papers and saw the still new Bible, just as he had left it years ago.

With tears, he opened the Bible and began to turn the pages. As he was reading, a car key dropped from the back of the Bible. It had a tag with the dealers name, the same dealer who had the sports car he had desired. On the tag was the date of his graduation, and the words… "PAID IN FULL".

How many times do we miss blessings because they are not packaged as we expected? I trust you enjoyed this. Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; but remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for. Sometimes we dont realize the good fortune we have or we could have because we expect "the packaging" to be different. What may appear as bad fortune may in fact be the door that is just waiting to be opened.

英语作文阅读:TheBabyEagle

Once upon a time there was a baby eagle living in a nest perched on a cliff overlooking a beautiful valley with waterfalls and streams, trees and lots of little animals, scurrying about enjoying their lives.

The baby eagle liked the nest. It was the only world he had ever known. It was warm and comfortable, had a great view, and even better, he had all the food and love and attention that a great mother eagle could provide. Many times each day the mother would swoop down from the sky and land in the nest and feed the baby eagle delicious morsels of food. She was like a god to him, he had no idea where she came from or how she worked her magic.

The baby eagle was hungry all the time, but the mother eagle would always come just in time with the food and love and attention he craved. The baby eagle grew strong. His vision grew very sharp. He felt good all the time.

Until one day, the mother stopped coming to the nest.

The baby eagle was hungry. "Im sure to die," said the baby eagle, all the time.

"Very soon, death is coming," he cried, with tears streaming down his face. Over and over. But there was no one there to hear him.

Then one day the mother eagle appeared at the top of the mountain cliff, with a big bowl of delicious food and she looked down at her baby. The baby looked up at the mother and cried "Why did you abandon me? Im going to die any minute. How could you do this to me?"

The mother said, "Here is some very tasty and nourishing food, all you have to do is come get it."

"Come get it!" said the baby, with much anger. "How?"

The mother flew away.

The baby cried and cried and cried.

A few days later, "Im going to end it all," he said. "I give up. It is time for me to die."

He didnt know his mother was nearby. She swooped down to the nest with his last meal.

"Eat this, its your last meal," she said.

The baby cried, but he ate and whined and whined about what a bad mother she was.

"Youre a terrible mother," he said. Then she pushed him out of the nest.

He fell.

Head first.

Picked up speed.

Faster and faster.

He screamed. "Im dying Im dying," he cried. He picked up more speed.

He looked up at his mother. "How could you do this to me?"

He looked down.

The ground rushed closer, faster and faster. He could visualize his own death so clearly, coming so soon, and cried and whined and complained. "This isnt fair!" he screamed.

Something strange happens.

The air caught behind his arms and they snapped away from his body, with a feeling unlike anything he had ever experienced. He looked down and saw the sky. He wasnt moving towards the ground anymore, his eyes were pointed up at the sun.

"Huh?" he said. "What is going on here!"

"Youre flying," his mother said.

"This is fun!" laughed the baby eagle, as he soared and ped and swooped.

"Yes it is!" said the mother.

Reading Selectively or Extensively?

(有选择阅读还是广泛地阅读?)

1.有人认为读书要有选择。

2.有人认为应当博览群书。

3.我的看法。

从作文题目及中文提示来看,此文应为议论文。第一段,有人认为读书要有选择。首先,现代科学技术发展得很快,每天都有大量的书籍出版,不可能全看;其次,不是所有的书都是好书,所以要有所选择。第二段,有人认为应当博览群书。现代社会各门学科知识相互渗透,一个人要想成功,既要精通本领域的学科知识,又要涉猎其它相关领域的学科知识,因此要博览群书。第三段,要拿出自己的观点,既要博览群书又要有所选择。

参考范文:

How should we read? Should we read selectively or extensively? Answers to the question may vary from person to person.

Some people think we should read selectively. They argue that with the development of modern science and technology, more and more books are published every day. It is impossible for us to read all the books. What’s more, there are many bad books that are poisonous to our mind, and that we shouldn’t read. Since we can’t read all the books, and we shouldn’t read bad books, we must read selectively.

But others may not agree. They emphasize that the present society is not what it used to be. If you want to be successful, you must read widely and acquire knowledge in both natural sciences and humanities. If you are learned in one field but ignorant in others, you may not amount to much. Since we must have many kinds of knowledge, we must read extensively.

Who’s right? There is a lot to be said for both sides of the argument. However, I think we should read extensively first and then learn deeply about the subject we are interested in.

一元八角七。纸币和铜板如干枯的树干一般,静静地趴在吉姆的办公桌上。这些还是从底下员工、秘书的工薪里强行扣出来的,直到把自己弄到无地自容,觉得这样自私有些难堪。吉姆无可奈何地望着这几张单薄的钱币,极其不自然地想起了明天的圣诞节。

除了徒然坐在半新的办公桌前叹息之外,显然无计可施。

吉姆突然感到一种前所未有的孤独,他是那么无助与恐惧。

当这位身负重担的年轻人安静下来后,让我们观赏一番吉姆那小小的办公室吧。一张松木书桌散发着霉味,令人作呕,破旧的电话机默默地立着,却从来没被使用过。这间办公室还是租的呢,每周十美元。尽管这间房里一应俱全,未免显得寒酸。

吉姆透过办公桌的缝隙,突然间想到了在家中做活的妻子德拉,他知道,德拉总是盯着门前那烫金的几个大字,“詹姆斯·迪林厄姆·杨先生”。

这几个金灿灿的字迹是在吉姆充分得到老板信任时的光辉战绩。那时候的他啊,每星期可以挣三十美元。现在,他那微薄的收入已快不能维持这个家庭了!以前得意时,拿到的几张崭新的钱币用完了,剩下的,只是几张汗津津的纸,仿佛像一个垂死挣扎的灵魂一般。原谅我这不恰当的比喻吧,每当吉姆回到家,刚一打开门,得到德拉的拥抱,总会禁不住歉疚起来,那样子,真让人难受!

叹息过后,吉姆整了整家里唯一的一条领带,理了理已穿过好几个年头的西服,望着窗外,愣愣地看着角落里的蜘蛛网。明天就是圣诞节了,他却只有一元八角七给德拉买礼物。上班之余的所有时间,他一直在想着德拉美丽的面庞,秀丽的长发,可人的笑容,以及天使般的心灵,他能为德拉做些什么呢,她为吉姆的付出是那么大,吉姆怎能亏待了她啊!至少要送她一件可心、精致,令她喜爱的礼物吧!

突然,他想起了在与德拉散步时,德拉曾对着百老汇路上的橱窗里羡慕地望着那一整套镶着宝石的发梳,一路对那东西啧啧赞叹,可吉姆哪来那么多钱去为她买发梳呢?

猛然间,他的手指触碰到了袖子里的金表,泛着缕缕金光。他一把扯下金表,站起身来,双眼颤抖着,快要立不住了。他把那表细细地端详着,这可真是块少见的珍宝啊!

说起这表的来历,话可就长了,这是他祖父传给他父亲,父亲又传给她的传家宝,色泽鲜艳,时间很准确,思毫不差。而同样珍贵的物品,还有德拉的一头长发。那秀发就像一段光滑的丝稠,轻柔地飘洒下来,美丽极了!如果德拉没有结婚的话,任何一位男子见了这一头长发都会倾倒在她脚下的。而就算是世界级的珠宝家见了这块手表也会称赞吉姆一番的。

现在,那金表更加闪闪发光,耀眼夺目。而吉姆则定在那,犹豫着,思索着。最终,披上了搭在旧椅子上的大衣,步履坚定地来到了珠宝店。

“喂,你要买我的金表吗?”吉姆气喘吁吁地问。

“买,摘下来我看看。”冷峻的脸庞端详了一会吉姆,嘲弄地说道。

待他看了吉姆的表后,肯定的说:“六十美元。”

“那就快给钱吧,多谢。”吉姆赶忙答道。

呵,不得不说这是他过得最轻松的下午了,时间过得真快!

他立刻飞奔到百老汇路,为德拉买了渴望已久的发梳。不得不说,德拉的眼光真是不错!你看那一套无与伦比的物品,镌刻着各种古朴的花纹,颜色正好与德拉的相似,好巧!

可当他走在回家的路上时,心中却忐忑不安起来:“如果德拉向我问起那传家宝来。”他自言自语道:“我该怎么办呢,我像个街上的乞丐一般。可我能怎么办呢?唉!不过我敢肯定这不是个很好的比喻!”说着,他赶紧拉了拉袖口,以免被德拉发现心中的秘密。他未免有些慌乱,但直觉还是引领他走到了家门口……

他打了个哈欠,努力将腰身正了一正,却又控制不住地塌了下去。发黄的面庞中露出了一丝无耐。那枯黄的年轻面颊像他们住的公寓一样苍白无力,毫无生气。但一想到妻子德拉那热切的声音,还有那棕黄色的美丽长发后,微笑就渐渐浮上了他的脸。那双美丽的绿色眼睛中又发出了快乐与明亮的光芒。

在他心中,他的生命里只有一个人和两样东西值得一提:一是爱妻德拉,二是德拉那美丽的如同棕色瀑布一般的长发,还有自己祖父传下来的一块金表。但这三样都各有遗憾:德拉在这贫寒的家里受了多少苦?她那美丽秀发又没有一把像样的梳子去梳。而那名贵的传家金表,却又因是个破表链,而不太好意思带在手上。

吉姆趁没人的机会,偷偷将表拿出,仔细翻看着。那一根细细的秒针映着光辉,显得无比耀眼。嘀嘀嗒嗒有节奏地律动着。他痴痴地望着表盘,看时间飞速流过。离圣诞节,越来越近……他突然打了一个机灵——一个念头突然萌生。他用右手轻轻抚摸着那块金光闪闪的表,悄声说了一句“对不起了”,便把它快速揣进口袋,向上司随便找了个借口便出去了。

他一路上心不在焉,却突然在一家表店门口停住了脚步。他又把那两元八角七分拿出来看了看,叹了一口气,迈开脚走了进去。出来时,他已是满面红光,手在口袋里紧紧攥着那一打钱——三十元!迈开大步向闹市区走去。一两个小时过去了,他的手里终于捧好了一个精致秀美的小木盒——里面装着那份珍贵的圣诞礼物。他快步回家,极想见到德拉那惊讶与幸福的表情。

去年暑假我翻开了我柜子里的《欧亨利100个短篇小说精选》,其中的第一篇就是《麦琪礼物》,这本书我已经看过很多遍了,因为它的作者是美国著名作家欧亨利,他被称为“短篇小说之王”。

“一元八角七。全都在这儿了,其中六角是一分一分的铜板。这些分分钱是杂货店老板、菜贩子和肉店老板那儿软硬兼施地一分两分地扣下来,直弄得自己羞愧难当,深感这种掂斤播两的交易实在丢人现眼。德拉反复数了三次,还是一元八角七,而第二天就是圣诞节了。”

圣诞节之前,女主德拉想给男朋友吉姆买一份礼物,可是她已经没有多余的钱了,没有办法的情况下,她决定卖掉自己的金发。而他的男朋友吉姆同样想买一份礼物给亲爱的德拉,终于在这个时候德拉为了买表链,卖掉了自己的金发。而吉姆为了买发卡卖掉了自己的金表。

读完这部短篇小说,我体会到了作者对纯真美好的爱情的赞扬,虽然他们没有钱,但是都愿意将自己认为最好的礼物给对方,虽然结果很诧异,但体现了两个人爱情的美好。

《麦琪的礼物》是一部非常优秀的作品,我以前读书的时候就知道,欧亨利的小说风格是既在意料之外,又在情理之中。作者无愧于”短篇小说之王“。今天我们要更加努力,通过自己的双手赚钱。

As we all know, books, especially the classical, present the precious accumulation of wisdom and knowledge beyond the limitation of time or space, from which we can enjoy numerous anecdotes, get to know exotic culture and tradition, experience the legendary and miraculous life of our idols and make ourselves better men day by day.

Nevertheless, people, especially the young, seem to have stored those classical books merely on the shelf for an unbelievably long time, which can be attributed to various factors. On the one hand, modern people have to cope with the quick pace and unavoidable stress of their work or life; therefore, they can hardly devote time to reading books. On the other hand, people tend to be more material-oriented involving their social status, amount of wealth or prospects of getting promotion, which eclipse the important benefits from reading classical books.

To me, it is essential for most undergraduates to read certain classical books, especially ones filled with life-long motivation and sagacious thoughts, which may not guarantee them short-term returns but will bring them far-reaching reward.

我们都知道,书籍,尤其是古典音乐,现在宝贵的智慧和知识积累超越时间和空间的限制,我们可以享受大量的轶事,了解异国的文化和传统,我们偶像的传奇和奇迹的生活经验,让自己更好的男人。

然而,人,尤其是年轻人,似乎仅仅存储那些经典的书籍在书架上的难以置信的长时间,可以归因于多种因素。一方面,现代人们不得不应付工作的快节奏和不可避免的压力或生活;因此,他们几乎不能花时间去读书。另一方面,人们更倾向于物质至上涉及他们的社会地位、财富或得到晋升的前景,eclipse重要受益于阅读经典书籍。

对我来说,这是必要的对于大多数大学生读一些经典书籍,特别是由终身动机和睿智的思想,也不能保证他们短期的回报,但会带来深远的奖励。

《麦琪的礼物》讲了德拉和吉姆他们各自失去了一件引以为豪的东西,但是他们却获得了对方最真挚的爱。

假如当你为某个人或某件事失去了一件东西的时候,你也一定会有意想不到的收获;假如你的心里总会为别人着想,总把别人的利益放在第一位,你也会有意想不到的收获。德拉和吉姆同时都是为了自己最爱的人,失去了自身最宝贵的东西,他们就都成为了这样的人。所在,在生活中,金钱、名利等不是最重要的。假若有人肯为你失去东西,也不说是他身上最重要的东西,只要是你在危难中他肯帮助你,这才是你生命中的好朋友,那你才是最富有的。在生活中能为别人割舍的人,才是最值得敬佩的。

你看,在生活中清洁工比任何人起得早、睡得晚,只为给别人一个干净的马路,给别人一个舒适的心情,他们总是在默默无闻地打扫街道。虽然,他们干的事情微不足道,但正是这些微不足道的小事情,让人们会对他们油然而生一种敬意,他们也是最值得人们敬佩的,人们也对他们充满敬佩。

只要是从身边的小事做起、只要你一直在奉献、只要你一直在为别人着想,同样,你也会成为人们心中最值得敬佩的人。

麦琪礼物》是收录于欧亨利的短篇小说集的一篇文章,刚开始,就被他那的故事情节吸引住了。

它讲述了一个生活在社会最底层的故事。圣诞节要来临了,麦琪夫妇。打算彼此互赠礼物。妻子有一头乌黑浓密的长发,而丈夫却有一个祖传的金表,可惜没有表带。妻子卖掉了一半引以为豪的长发,给丈夫买了表带。而丈夫卖掉了自我的金表,给妻子买了梳妆工具。

一开始读到那里,我觉得很好笑。故事漠然一笑之后,令我感慨万千。人世间最珍贵的。并不是钱,而是人世间的真情。这篇文章也揭露了在社会的底层,虽然不是达官贵族,没有权利,没有金钱,没有地位。可是他们却收获了人世间的真情。是你拥有千百万也收获不到的。

有了金钱,往往会忽视最珍贵的感情。如果有两种选择放在你面前。你是会选择千百万的金钱呢?还是会选择一份真挚的感情呢?有些人可能会犹豫,有些人可能会选择千百万的金钱。而我会毫不犹豫的选择那份真挚的感情。因为他是无价的,是用多少钱也买不回来的。

让我们不要抱怨生活的冷漠与无情,其实即使你生活在在社会的底层,也有一些不被人重视的真情。

一、明确考前最后冲刺的基本要求:

1.求准。考前最后冲刺中,教师应指导学生采取求准的策略,克服虚浮和自以为是的心态,回过头来一点一点地记清、记准重要的知识和自己疏漏的知识。

2.求牢。尤其是基础知识的选择题和名句默写部分。主要办法就是反复,通过反复练习来求牢。

3.求精。考前最后冲刺中的专项练习、综合练习中的题目必须精心挑选,有选择性地精练精讲,查漏补缺,修复知识体系,并训练正确的解题思路和技巧。

二、突出重点难点,强化得分意识。

(一)加强阅读理解的训练。

1.重视文本的理解。各类文本阅读,重中之重是阅读文本,切忌只重题目而轻文本的做法,应养成正确的阅读习惯:在文本上勾划、圈点,分析、概括,较好地把握文章的结构思路和思想内容,然后再读题、做题。这样才能真正地抓住重心,把握关键,回答问题才能切中肯綮。

2.要有考点意识、题型意识和分点答题的得分意识。对于每一个考点,通常有哪些题型,每种题型通常有哪些设问方式,要做到心中有数。

(二)加强写作训练。

1.深入了解本省高考作文的评分细则,做到有的放矢。特别可以就发展等级的要求有针对性地进行文章的升格训练。

2.关注生活,关注社会。只有学会两个关注,考生才能积累大量新鲜而丰富的写作素材;只有学会两个关注,考生的记叙文才能更加真切细腻,情感才能更加感人,立意才能更加深刻,防止以看代写,以想代写,要把会做、做透作为考前最后冲刺的原则,力求在难度低的试题中少失分,在难度高的试题中多得分,以期全面提高得分率。

篇19:麦琪的礼物读后感

全文共 1355 字

麦琪礼物》是美国短篇小说大师欧·亨利作品的选集。书中,社会上那些巧取豪夺,坑蒙拐骗,利欲熏心,尔虞我诈的“上流人物”,“得意之徒”们的丑恶行径,被揭露无遗。通过他们的种种表现,形象逼真,不拘一格地向读者展现了“文明社会”的黑暗与滑稽本质,弱肉强食与天良丧尽的现实,并喻示在金钱万能,唯利是图的生存环境中,人性的异化和畸变。

然而在众多对丑恶人性的描写之中,也不乏许多使人肃然起敬的“小人物”,让人对荒诞,滑稽的故事漠然一笑之后,感慨万千。留给我印象最深的是《麦琪的礼物》这篇文章,它让我真正领略到了人性的魅力。

有些人认为钱是万能的,有了钱就拥有了一切,但我一直坚信真挚的感情是无价的。即使你有千百万,那也换不来真正的感情。或许金钱让你获得一些感情,但那些都是虚伪的。当你不再拥有万贯金钱时,虚伪的感情便会破裂,最终留给你的是万分痛苦。

《麦琪的礼物》就是因为金钱而引发的一系列故事。一对夫妻因为想给对方买一件圣诞礼物而舍弃了自己的心爱之物。可惜最后彼此的礼物却都失去了使用价值,但他们都得到了人世间最宝贵的礼物———彼此的真情。我认为他们是幸福的,虽然他们很穷,生活拮据,但在他们心中,金钱并不重要,重要的是对方的真情,只要拥有它,他们感到比有钱的富翁幸福百倍。

换一个角度来看,假如小说中女主人公德拉家财万贯,即使她买了昂贵礼物也看不出真情所在,杰姆也就不会感到那么幸福了。德拉美丽的头发,杰姆珍贵的金表,两样各自引以为自豪的东西都失去了。他们本来想让对方更加美丽,却使礼物失去了使用价值,然而他们更加感到幸福。正像作者所说:“在所有馈赠礼物的人当中,他们两个是最聪明的。“我想,在一切接受礼物的人当中,他们也是最幸福的。许多人都会羡慕这对夫妻。

也许有人会认为,吉姆和德拉都很“傻”,他们极不明智地为了对方而牺牲了他们最最宝贵的东西,这个故事似乎显得荒诞无意义。其实不然,故事里出现的有些夸张的偶然,让两位生活在困窘中的主人公显得有些捉襟见肘,而通过这个带着些悲剧情调的故事,我们从一个角度感受到欧亨利为我们传达的从苍凉中透出的温暖——关于“礼物”的价值。吉姆和德拉,即使只是生活在社会底层的小人物,却拥有着对生活的热情和对对方的深爱,在这些温暖的感情面前,贫困可以变得微不足道。在圣诞节前夕,两个人还想着要为对方买一件礼物互赠,多么浪漫多么温馨。即使这一份礼物似乎失去了使用的价值,它们却成了世间最珍贵的礼物,变成一份真挚的爱赠给了对方.麦琪是聪明人,聪明绝顶的人,由于他们是聪明人,毫无疑问,他们的礼物也是聪明的礼物。而我们的吉姆和德拉,虽然极不明智地为了对方而牺牲了他们最最宝贵的东西。不过,让我们对现今的聪明人说最后一句话,在一切馈赠礼品的人当中,那两个人是最聪明的。在一切馈赠又接收礼品的人当中,像他们两个这样的人也是最聪明的。无论在任何地方,他们都是最聪明的人。他们用自己美丽的心灵赠给对方的是一件无价之宝。而这件无价之宝,确实世间任何自认聪明或富有的人永远不会,也不能给予的礼物。

也许,有些人会对此不屑一顾,无法理解他们的做法。假如万贯家财和一份真挚的感情同时放在你面前,你会选哪一样呢?我会毫不犹豫地选择那份感情,因为真挚的感情是无价的!我相信真心的付出终会有真诚的回报,拥有真情才能拥有幸福。

篇20:语文阅读理解正确的解题方法和技巧——看要求

全文共 754 字

+ 加入清单

所谓“看要求”,就是要求学生再审视语文阅读理解所要求回答的问题要求,关键的关键字、词或句子也要让学生用笔圈下来,作为扣题作答的要点,也是学生回答问题的可能的得分点。要做到细读文章的内容,机智从容答题。第二遍读文章要求考生带着问题细读全文。在进行语文阅读理解训练时一般要做到如下几点:

一要认准关键词句,把握其基本意义,认清它们在句子中的具体含义,根据上下文琢磨它们的升华意义,学生特别是要学会在阅读文字材料中发现有效信息,即是对回答阅读材料要求所的提问题的文字和内容。

二要排除生词的障碍,遇到生词要通过上下文,大胆地对阅读文字材料中的个别词义、语义和句义进行推测、推理和推断,还可以通过构词常识大胆猜测。

三是原文中有明显的准确答案,要善于利用阅读文字材料中的“原文”材料,果断作答。对于一般不影响句子或全文理解的生词,可以放过去,不必务求理解。遇到重要生词时,不要着急,也不要轻易放弃,我们可以采取根据上下文来猜词或根据构词法来猜词等方法来猜出这个词的大致意思。

解题时不要边看阅读理解的问题边从阅读理解的文中查找答案,因为用这种方法难以提高阅读理解的效果,尤其是对于深层理解阅读理解的文章。首先应浏览阅读理解的全文,了解阅读理解全文的概貌。看完后,应记住阅读理解文章的要点,阅读理解重要的结论以及阅读理解中的一些关键性的人名、地点、定义和数字(不同的人名、地点可用铅笔在试卷上分别打上不同的记号,以便查找)。同时我们一定要掌握好阅读理解的解题速度,有效地控制阅读理解的考试时间,先易后难是阅读理解的考试时答题的一般方法。碰到阅读理解的难题时,千万不要钻牛角尖,耽误太多时间。一时做不出的阅读理解的题,要果断舍弃,以免影响解别的较有把握的阅读理解题。待全部阅读理解题解完后,如有剩余时间再回来做放弃的阅读理解题。
