1000挫折也美丽初中一年级作文
全文共 562 字
+ 加入清单谈到美丽,有许多会联想到公园里的花,一望无际的大海,广阔无垠的天空,多姿多彩的大地……反正,美好的一切都一致被人们认为是美丽的。因此,美丽一词便逐渐成为了只修饰美好事物的形容词。但事实真是如此吗?不,不是。不美好的东西也有美丽的――
挫折,一种被视为不幸,象征运气不佳的果实,这种果实在必经的人生之路上一定要品尝的一种果子。有人认为这种果实是《白雪公主》里面的毒苹果,有人认为这种果实是伊甸园中被夏娃偷吃的那令人产生忧愁的果实。但我却认为,这果实甜蜜,但有稍带苦涩,进嘴后,先是一种苦味,然后它带给你的却是一种苦尽甘来的感觉。这果实,能为我们提供丰富的营养,促进我们心理素质更好地发展。假若一人一生无法品尝这果实,他的后果会怎样?他会失去一些正常人能得到的应有的养分,而这养分是重要的。一个人无法得到这些养分,那他很可能会陷入发育不良的状态。
挫折,不是人们想象的那单方面的结果,它其中蕴含着很多、很多。重视挫折的人,他不一定会成功,但最起码不可能一败涂地;反之,藐视、逃避挫折的人,他不仅会注定失败,而且也能使人充分体现出他的愚昧无知。因此,挫折不是毒药,而是那珍贵的补药。正视挫折,你将不再颓废;面对挫折,你将不再幼稚;战胜挫折,你将不再弱小……
挫折,那甜美的果实啊!在那耀眼的阳光下,你多么美丽!

篇16:让世界充满爱初中一年级作文
全文共 819 字
+ 加入清单“这是心的呼唤,这是爱的奉献,这是人间的春风,这是生命的源泉。。。。。。只要人人都献出一点爱,世界将变成美好的明天!”每当这熟悉的旋律,我的心总有一种感动,一首流行多年的老歌,何以能依然感动着今天的人们?我想,是因为它诠释了人间真情,宣扬了奉献爱心的缘故。
爱滋病,一个依然挑战人类的可怕病魔,令多少人望而却步。然而2005年除夕之夜,世界再次将它聚焦。我们敬爱的温家宝总理顶着风雪、冒着严寒来到了河南爱滋病村,与爱滋病人共度除夕,使倍受病魔摧残的人们感受到了人间的春风,让干枯的心田又升起了绿色的希望。
如果说温家宝总理的爱滋病村之行,感动了每一位中国人的话,那麽金温铁路上那惊心动魄的一幕,更深深地震撼了每一位中国人的心。河南打工者李学生在两个小孩就要被火车撞着的危急时刻,不顾一切地扑了上去,用宝贵的生命将死神从孩子身边赶走,李学生——这位农民的好儿子,一个普通的打工者,一位平凡的河南青年,用自己短暂而年轻的生命谱写了一曲让世人为之敬仰的绚丽诗章。
人间真情无处不在。湖北神农架的一个偏僻小山村,因为一个人的到来而变得生机勃勃。大学生白亚丽毅然暂停学业,放弃舒适的生活,用自己的爱心行动,使这里的人们感受到了科学知识的力量,因为她的爱心奉献,使这里的人们用科学取代了愚昧,致富驱走了贫穷。
这一位位让我们充满敬意的人,是什麽力量让他们无私的奉献爱心甚至生命?他们奉献爱心又是为了什麽?也许有人不能理解,但是,试想一下,如果生命中少了他们这样的人,世界将是怎样?“送人玫瑰,手留余香。”我信奉这个格言,关爱他人,也是快乐自己,人间因为爱而充满阳光,人们因为爱而幸福快乐,奉献爱心的人,人们也会将他们铭记在心中。我想,作为一个在爱心哺育下成长的少年,我要像温家宝爷爷、李学生叔叔、白亚丽姐姐学习,从小做起,从每一件小事做起,处处关爱他人,将爱心与真情无限地复制下去,让人间洒满爱的阳光,让爱的鲜花开遍世界每个角落!
篇17:初中优秀作文:我的英语老师
全文共 1162 字
+ 加入清单算起来,自己也上了10几年的学了,和老师打的交道也不算少的。自打到了初三,我和老师的关系就越来越密切了,隔三差五的,我就要去和老师交流下感情,那个点击率啊,真是高啊。每天,必有一次谈心。我不知道为什么,我只知道,老师特别喜欢和我聊天。
第一次月考完了之后,我不小心,在全年级进步了70多名。我并没付出什么努力,该怎么玩还是怎么玩,可能就是老前辈们说的,雨花石偶尔反一下光。所以,我上课要打瞌睡的这个习惯还是没改。有一天,我和同桌闹了矛盾,她就不帮我看着老师了,任由我睡,她也不管了,正好,上课的时候是班主任的课。结果可想而知,我被老师抓住了。老师说:“刘柏森,下课来下办公室。”我站起来点点头,说:“我可以坐下了么?”“你给我站着。”“拜托,老师,昨晚上看历史书来着,没睡好,站着,我睡不着。”全班一阵安静。老师笑了(历史老师):“什么?昨晚上看历史?嗯,不错,你坐下吧……”忽然反应过来,“你什么意思啊?看历史你就不站了啊?站着,没什么好说的!”下课后,我到了办公室里蹲下。老师回过头,看着成绩表说:“你是不是考得好嘛!看下你成绩嘛!比上次期末……”她拿着尺子从成绩表上划下来,划到我的名字上,愣了一下,清了清嗓子说:“我们先不说这个成绩的问题,我们先说一下你上课睡觉的问题……”我无语。
某天,英语老师上课的时候,写了个句子出来全班狂笑,我也跟着笑。老师问:“这个句子错在哪里?刘柏森,你来说下。”我笑不出来了。别说,我还真没看出来哪是错的,我站起来,盯着那个句子半天说:“不知道。”老师提醒道:“几个动词了都?”我数了数:“好象多了点,3个。”老师说:“这什么句子都不是,是按照主语从句搞出来的,主语从句我都多少年没用过了,我都是二昏二昏的,你们还敢用?”我又笑起来。老师白了我一眼:“还笑,就是你写的!”我一愣,我写的?老师又接着说:“这就是你写的,还高手呢,写的都是什么啊?”我看了看我的作文本,我写的是“。”于是我说:“那个不是我写的。”“反正也是半斤八两。”我再看了看:“没错,格式是正确的。”从此,就没人再把我当成英语高手了。
摸底考试完了之后,我下降了很多,原因我就不说了,班主任大人一看成绩,顿时火冒三丈,把我叫到办公室说:“怎么回事你?是不是想其他去了?手伸出来,我要好好教训你。”说罢,拿起那把教棍,对着我的手一通乱打,然后问:“记住好好学习没有?”“记住了。”“好了,你走吧。”我抬起头,刚要走出去,老师又把我叫住:“回来!”我问:“还有什么事?”老师说:“你还有什么没说的?”我想了想,没想出来,旁边一个蹲在地上的哥们说:“一看就是不怎么进办公室的,你忘了说‘谢谢老师’了。”我一听,赶紧说:“谢谢老师。”老师点点头:“嗯,去吧。”我的那个汗啊……
我现在正在期待究竟在初三下期还会有什么样的事情发生……

全文共 1382 字
+ 加入清单He always rose early to enjoy at least two hours of solitude in the house
and garden before the rest of the family came down In winter he spent most of
the time reading and writing. In sum mer he liked to get out of doors to work in
the kitchen garden or to take the dog for a walk in the neighbouring woods and
fields Whatever the weather, there was plenty to occupy him.
Although he was a creature of habit, there seemed to be an infinite variety
in his pursuits. He wrote book reviews regularly for two of the national
weeklies. He worked conscientiously his special subject, Indian History, and was
thus one of the world authorities on it;
he collected modern abstract paintings and so had a circle of friends
amongst artists and sculptors; there was hardly anything he did not know about
traditional jazz and he often entertained both British and America n jazz
musicians He was a superb cook and knew a lot about French and German food.
His family adored him and in a sense he was spoiled by them. At first
glance you would have taken him for a retired army officer-his bearing was
erect, his hair was cut short, he was fussy about his clothes, which were always
neat, clean and conventional. He liked to keep fit, and this was reflected in
his clear, steady blue eyes and healthy suntanned complexion. He hardly ever
watched TV, but enjoyed a good film and an occasional evening at the
theatre.

+ 加入清单After a long cold winter when I have rarely been out on my bike, the weather has finally turned warmer and even sunny occasionally. Yesterday I had a surprise call from Tom suggesting we turn out for a short ride. This being my intention anyway I gladly agreed and we met up at Jiedaokou Station at about ten o’clock.
As Tom has a permanent Sunday Lunch appointment at 12-30pm we opted to make a round trip to Hannan . The weather was cloudy but dry and as we were both a bit out of condition after a long winter lay off we took the easy option of taking the train to Shiyan to get us on top of the ridge with an easy start for the trip.
A long coast down to Jiangtan and straight on to Mount End saw us climbing up to Zhongshan Park. The climb got stiffer but still Tom kept on riding. Gritting my teeth I followed on and crested the hill, Then the usual Essex switchback with an enforced short walk for both of us part way along saw us at Tawny common. Round the common we went, to the Mole Trap, an erstwhile rough old country pub now tarted up for the motorists. I don’t go in there any more, so we sat on the adjacent public seat for a while and a short natter.
Time enough to break away, Tom to his lunch appointment, me for home by way of theYellow Crane Tower and Changjiang Bridge. See you in a while, crocodile! I arrived home about 2 o’clock. Just in time for my own Sunday lunch .
