所谓责任感，就是认识到自己的任务、职责和义务。作为一个老师，要对学生负责；作为学生，应认识到自己的职责，如果不履行职责，就应受到责备。

责任要求学生努力学习，这任务可不轻，我得鼓起勇气，面对困难，接受挑战。我必须对自己所做的一切负责。

现在，我心里的责任感比任何时候都沉重，这种压力给我带来烦恼和苦衷，但我又要感谢这种责任感对我的鞭策。我必须学得踏实，因为我现在所做的一切不仅仅为在学校有个交代，也为自己未来在社会上有一席之地，以报答父母、老师和学校领导的厚爱。我必须努力学习，依靠个人努力而完善自我。

放学回家，我看到奶奶戴着一幅厚厚的老花镜，戴着一对耳机，嘴里念念有词：“A，B，C，D……。”

我放下书包，悄悄地走过去，看见录音机在播放着呢！天哪，奶奶怎么学起英语来了，前两天她还说我在学“鸟语”，怎么现在奶奶学起“鸟语”来了。

我做完作业，要听录音了，我走过去对奶奶说：“奶奶，我要听录音了！”奶奶也许听得太认真了，并没有察觉我在她身边。我大声喊：“奶奶”。这才回过头来，说：“这玩意挺好玩的，你给我买一个吧。”我听了，差点晕过去。奶奶又发话了：“孙女，banana是香蕉的英文，是吗？再借我听听呗。”我唉声叹气，真是哑巴吃黄莲——有苦说不出，只好耐心等待。

吃晚饭了，奶奶还在听录音，听出味道来了，“孙女，苹果是‘啊砰！A，P，P，啊哦，E，啊砰’！”我听了，立刻捧着肚子大笑起来，可奶奶完全不知道是怎么一回事，以为自己读得不错，还高兴地笑哩！

晚饭过后，奶奶以火箭般地速度冲向录音机旁，嘴里冒着一长串的“泡泡。”我尴尬死了，录音机被霸占了。现在又不能听了，只好等到奶奶走了后再听。

我等啊等，奶奶走的时刻终于等到了，“临走”前还对我说：“哎，人老了学什么都难。你可得好好抓紧时间，多学些知识和本领，不要像我这样，等头发白了才后悔莫及！”

她成了我学习的榜样，我也要对自己有信心。敢于设计自己的目标，朝着这个目标奋力前进，加油吧！

Ji Anlived at the time of Emperor Wudi of the Western Han Dynasty (206 B.C.-A.D.24). He was respected for being upright and just and for daring to speak the truth. He did not bother about amall matters in personal behaviour and in being an official. He was particular about actual effects and ,although he did not cause a stir ,he could keep the prefecture he governed in perfect order. Because of this. the imperial court transferred him to the central government from being the perfect of the Donghai Prefecture to being a commander in charge of the appointment and dismissal of the local officals.

Once,Emperor Wudi said that he would implement the policy of benevolence and justice of Confucianism and would do good turns to the people.Emperor Wudi Had hardly finished his remards when Ji An said that there was no need for the emperor to say so.Why should the emperor bother,Ji An said, about pretending to implement the policy of benevolence and justice since he was so greedy and avaricious within himself? This choked the emperor off. The emperor suddenly Changed his countenance and declared the meeting over. All the civilian and military officers at court were breathless with anxiety for fear that Ji An might bring disaster upon himself because of this. After returning, Emperor Wudi said to the people around him that Ji An was a little too rude and too straightforward.

For this reason ,Ji An was never promoted again. When he was the commander in charge of the appointment and dismissal of the local officials, both Gongsun Hong and Zhang Tang were low -ranking lfficials of little importance. Later ,they were promoted continuously. Gongsun Hong became the prime minister and Zhang Tang became the imperial censor. However, JiAns post remained thesame. One day, Ji An said to Emperor Wudi that the way the emperor used his ministers was just like piling up firewood, which meant that the latecomers surpassed the old-timers. Of course, Emperor Wudi could see that Ji An was complaining. So,turning to his ministers, Emperor Wudi said, "It is true that no one can stop learning.You see, Ji An is making more and more indiscreet remarks."

This story comes from The Historical Records. Later generations use the set phrase "the latecomers surpass the old-timers " to indicate that successors can cxcel the predecessors, which is quite different from the original idea when Ji An said that the latecomers surpassed the old-timers.

汲黯是西汉武帝时代人，以刚直正义、敢讲真话而受人尊重。他为人和做官都不拘小节，讲求实效。虽然表面上不那么轰轰烈烈，却能把一个郡治理得井井有条，因此，朝廷把他从东海太守调到朝廷当主爵都尉——一种主管地方吏任免的官职。

有一次，汉武帝说要实行儒家的仁义之政，为老百姓办好事了。没等皇帝把话说完，汲黯就说：“陛下内心里那么贪婪多欲，表面上却要装得实行仁政，这是何苦呢？”一句话把皇帝噎了回去。汉武帝登时脸色大变，宣布罢朝，满朝文武都为汲黯捏着一把汗，担心他会因此招来大祸。武帝回到宫里以后，对身边的人说，汲黯这个人也未免太粗太直了。

从此以后，汲黯的官职再也没有提升。他当主爵都尉的时候，公孙弘、张汤都还是不起眼的小官，后来，他们一个劲儿住上升，公孙弘当上了丞相，张汤做上了御史大夫，可他汲黯还蹲在原地没动窝。有一天，汲黯对武帝说，陛下使用群臣，跟码劈柴一样，是“后来者居上”啊！汉武帝当然听得出这是发牢骚。于是，转脸对臣下们说：“人真是不能不学习啊！你们听汲黯说话，越来越离谱了！”

故事出自《史记汲郑列传》。成语“后来居上”，往往指后起的可以胜过先前的。和汲黯说这话的原意，大不相同。
