+ 加入清单战火后的等待
当看到联邦德国总理勃兰特双膝跪倒在华沙犹太人死难者纪念碑前时,我想那些在二战中被德军残酷杀戮的万千生灵,那些徘徊在另一个世界里的灵魂,终于等到了虔诚的忏悔。
战火的硝烟早已散去,历史等待了六十年,世界等待了六十年六十年后,欧洲人民终于等到了这历史性的跪拜,这是深刻的、源自灵魂深处的跪拜。
二战的血痕渐渐被掩埋在历史的尘土中,同为二战受害国的亚洲各国人民同样等待着日本的忏悔但我们看到的是,日本首相小泉纯一郎竟然在日本无条件投降61周年之际,悍然再次参拜供奉有14名甲级战犯的x国神社,其倒行逆施,一意孤行,令人发指。没有人会希望看到战争,然而战争却仍在不断爆发流离失所的难民,痛失亲人的孤儿,嗷嗷待哺却失去粮食供应的婴儿,经常通过各种媒介闯入我们的视野。
流血,死亡
生命,并非为成为子弹的活靶而生谁也没有权利剥夺一个无辜者的生命当子弹射入又一个颤栗的躯体时,我似乎看见了他惊恐而绝望的眼神他直直地望着你,没有言语,张大的眼睛迸射出绝望,他此刻正在思考什么?是回击?是躲避?是父母妻儿?是美好的生活?
也许什么都是,也是什么都不是,但我猜想,当生命的最后一滴从他躯体中流去时,他会在内心质问苍天:“为什么要战争?”为什么要战争?这也是许许多多人思考的问题,并非子弹的攒射,导弹地轰炸才会让人和和气气;并非侵入他国领土,屠戮无辜生命才能解决国际争端
我庆幸自己出生在一个和平的国度里,然而那整天躲避狂轰滥炸的孩子呢?
世界呼唤和平,人民渴望安宁只有和平,地球才能名副其实地做人类的摇篮;只有和平,经济才能发展,人们才能摆脱贫困;只有和平,人类才能继承和发扬文化传统,创造新的灿烂文明
德国总理面对受害者真诚的跪拜固然让人称赞,日本首相面对加害者拙劣的跪拜固然令人愤慨,但那无数人用生命书写的战火后的等待,不仅是真诚的忏悔;我们更迫切等待的,是再无战争,只有和平与友谊
等待永恒的和平,期待永恒的安宁
[点评]这是一篇关注时事、胸怀世界的大气之作,在众多的写日常生活之等待的题材中,令人耳目一新作者把德国总理的忏悔之跪和日本首相的顽固之拜、欧洲人民60年等待后的欣慰和亚洲人民61等待后的失望作对比,褒贬鲜明,并结合世界局部战争连绵不断的
现状,愤怒抨击了战争的罪恶,表达了等待永恒的和平,期待永恒的安宁的良好愿望善于使用对比和排比句,句式灵活,长短结合,整散相间,语言准确而鲜明

+ 加入清单高考英语满分作文:社会呼唤英雄 Society Calls for Heroes
请你参加我们有关“英雄”问题的讨论,写一篇100词左右的议论文。短文需包括以下内容,题目自拟。
1.英雄具有什么样的品质?
2.为什么现在英雄(见义勇为的人)越来越少?
3.如果让你选择,你愿意做英雄还是普通人?
注意:
词数100左右。
Society Calls for Heroes
In my opinion, it is not so easy to be a hero. First,a hero must be brave. When he sees someone do a bad deed, he must be brave enough to catch him or to stop him. Secondly, he must be strong enough, otherwise he himself will be beaten to death. There are fewer heroes now because of several reasons. I think the most important reason is that people dont want to mind other peoples business. Because they think it will do them no good. But I think society calls for heroes. Fighting against crimes is not just the job of the police. Its the duty of every citizen.
社会呼唤英雄
在我看来,它不是那么容易就可以做一个英雄。第一,一个英雄要勇敢。当他看到有人做坏事,他必须勇敢地抓住他或制止他。其次,他必须足够强大,否则他会被殴打致死。由于几个原因少英雄现在。我认为最重要的原因是人们不想考虑其他人的业务。因为他们认为它会做不好。但我认为,社会呼唤英雄。打击犯罪不仅仅是警察的职责。这是每个公民的义务。

高考英语满分作文:Mobile Phone 手机
Being a product of high-technology,mobile phones are being more and more widely used. Its small in size, light in weight and easy to carry, offering fast and convenient service for communication.Its of multi-function. The users use it for calling, sending short messages and internet-surfing.
In recent years, mobile phones have become popular among middle school students. Quite a few use them at school to keep in touch with their families and friends instead of writing letters, which, of course brings convenience to them. But I dont think its good to do so.
In spite of the advantage mentioned above, student users often waste a lot of time chatting over the phone in their spare time, some even use them to cheat in exams. In addition, mobile phone bill is also a heavy burden on students families.
手机是高科技的产物,被越来越广泛的应用。它很小,重量轻,便于携带,提供快捷、方便的服务进行通信。这是多功能的。用户用它来打电话,发短信和上网。
近年来,手机已经成为受中学生的欢迎。不少使用它们的学生可以在学校保持与他们的家人和朋友的联系,而不是写信,当然,这给他们带来了方便。但我不认为这样做很好。
尽管上述优势,但学生用户经常浪费很多时间,在业余时间在电话里聊天,有些人甚至使用它们在考试作弊。此外,移动电话费也是一个学生的家庭沉重的负担。

Good afternoon, everyone.
The topic of my speech today is “Being a Good Listener”.
Good listening can always show respect, promote understanding, and improve interpersonal relationship.
Many people suggest that parents should listen more to their children, so they will understand them better, and find it easy to narrow the generation gap; teachers should listen more to their students, then they can meet their needs better, and place themselves in a good relationship with their students; students should listen more to their classmates, thus they will help and learn from each other, and a friendship is likely to be formed.
What I want to stress is that each of us should listen to others. Show your respect and never stop others till they finish their talk; show you are interested by a supportive silence or a knowing smile; be open-minded to different opinions even though you don’t like them. In a word, good listening can really enable us to get closer to each other.
Thank you for your listening!

我想强调的是,我们每个人都应该听从别人的要求。表现出你的尊重,从不停止别人的谈话,表明你对一个支持性的沉默或是一个微笑的微笑很感兴趣;对不同意见的人持开放态度,即使你不喜欢他们。用一个词,好的听力可以使我们彼此接近。
谢谢你的聆听!
【名师点评】
这是一篇感情真挚、热情洋溢的演讲稿,文中大量运用排比句型,不但准确流畅地表达出题目中所提供的信息,而且体现出作者熟练运用英语的能力以及不俗的文采。第三段中所使用的相同结构的复合句式,将倾听的对象及其作用阐述得淋漓尽致;而第四段中用一系列的祈使句议论应如何倾听,则更进一步地增强了这篇演说稿的说服力。
高考满分英语作文 母亲的眼睛(My Mothers Eyes)
作文一:
My mother has a pair of keen eyes which can speak. With her eyes,she observed my mood, gave me courage and made me strong. Therefore, I could face difficulties.
When I was a baby learning to walk, my mother always lent me a hand and encouraged me to get up while I fell down. As I finally threw myself into her arms, her eyes smiled with praise. Later as I grew up, I met with more difficulties. But whenever I was frustrated, my mothers eyes always
gave me hope and encouragement. Once I failed in exams, my mother encouraged me to find out the reasons. Instead of blaming me she pushed me to do better. At last I overcame the difficulty. Now I have grown up and become more independent, but whenever I come across setbacks, my mothers eyes are always with me encouraging me wherever I go.
我母亲有一双敏锐的、会说话的眼睛。那双眼睛能洞察我的心情,给我鼓励,促我坚强,因此我能面对一切困难。
孩提学步时,妈妈总是帮助我,鼓励我摔倒了就爬起来。最后我晃晃悠悠地扑进她怀抱时,她的双眼充满了赞扬之情。成长过程中,我遇到了很多困难,但灰心失望时,妈妈的双眼总给我以希望和鼓励。一次我考试不及格,妈妈没有责备我,而是鼓励我找出原因,提高我的成绩。最后我终于度过了难关。现在,我长大了,不用再让她操心了。但每当遇到挫折时,妈妈的眼睛总是伴随着我,给我鼓励。
作文二:
My mother has a pair of keen eyes which can speak. Whenever I encounter difficulties, her eyes will encourage me and help me cheer up.
When I began learning to walk, mother always lent me a hand and encouraged me to stand up while I fell down. As I finally threw myself into her arms, her eyes Smiled with praise. Aftei I entered the school, mothers eyes still encouraged me. Once I failed my Chinese exam, my mother helped me find out the reasons instead of blaming me. Now I have grown up and become more independent, but whenever I come across setbacks, my mothers eyes are always with me encouraging me wherever I go.
我的母亲有一双敏锐的、会说话的眼睛。每当我遇到困难时,这双眼睛总是鼓励我,帮我振作起来。
在我开始学走路时,母亲总是帮助我,鼓励我摔倒了就爬起来。最后我晃晃悠悠扑进她怀抱时,她的双眼充满赞扬之情。我长大上学后,母亲的眼睛仍旧鼓励我。一次,我语文考试不及格,母亲没有责备我,而是帮助我找出原因。现在,我长大了,不再让她操心了。但每当我遇到挫折时,母亲的眼睛总是伴随着我,给我鼓励。

篇2:常用写作方法帮助你高考作文获得高分的技巧参考
全文共 645 字
+ 加入清单高考作文是非常重要的一个试题,是高考语文拉开分数的题目之一。记叙文是高考作文常考的文体,掌握一定的记叙文写作技巧是得高分的必要手段。下面文章为大家介绍高考记叙文的写作技巧。
一、一线串珠
内涵:记叙文的线索是贯穿全文、将材料串联起来的一条主线,它把文章的各个部分联结成一个统一和谐的有机体。如果说丰富而生动的材料是一颗颗珍珠,那么线索就是将这些珍珠串联起来的一条线。
记叙文的线索主要有实物、人物、事件、时间、地点以及作者的思想感情等。无论采取何种线索,都必须从表现文章的中心思想和体现各种材料之间的内在联系出发,灵活巧妙地确定。这是高考记叙文的写作技巧之一。
二、以小见大
内涵:就是以小题材表现大主题的方法。生活中有些材料看起来似乎很平常,却包含了深刻的意义。
“一滴水也可以反映太阳的光辉”。只要善于透过现象发现本质,小材料同样能反映深刻的主题,所以以小见大也是高考记叙文的写作技巧。在写作中对形象进行强调、取舍、浓缩,以独到的想象抓住一点或一个局部加以集中描写或延伸放大,以更充分地表达记叙文主题思想。这种艺术处理以一点观全面,以小见大,从不全到全,给写作者带来了很大的灵活性和无限的表现力,同时为读者提供了广阔的想象空间,获得生动的情趣和丰富的联想。
以上内容是对高考记叙文的写作技巧的介绍,希望能够给同学们提供帮助。高考作文光有技巧也不能成就高分,所以,同学们在平时应该多阅读优秀文摘,注意词句积累,临摹好的写作手法,并且在复习过程中经常进行写作练手。
篇3:英语日记写作的格式
全文共 760 字
+ 加入清单英文日记和汉语日记一样,是用来记叙一天中所发生的有意义的事情或对将来的打算等。以下是小编整理的英语日记写作的格式,欢迎阅读!
日记可分为记事、议论、描写及抒情等。记事型是用英语记述当天自己生活学习中发生的事情。议论型是对生活中的某一事情或情况现象谈自己的看法,发表议论。描写型或抒情型,则是对某人物事物的特征做细致的描述,或针对某事物抒发自己的感情。
1、格式:
一般是在左上角记上当天日期,星期,时间的排列法与书信一致,星期写在日期之后;右上角写上当天的天气情况,表示天气情况的词一般是形容词,如:fine(晴朗的),cold(寒冷的),snowy(下雪),sunny(阳光充足的),rainy(下雨的),cloudy(阴天的)等。日记的小标题写在下一行,也可省略不写。
2、时态:
写日记的时间一般是在下午、晚上,有时也可以在第二天补写,因此,日记中所记述的事情通常发生在过去,常用一般过去时;但当记述天气、描写景色或展望未来时,可以用一般现在时或一般将来时。
写法大致和写汉语日记相同,都是在正文之前有日期、星期几及当天的天气情况。注意内容表达要清楚连贯、准确。
扩展阅读:
日期格式用月日年(美式)或日月年(英式)都可以
1. 年、月、日都写时,通常以月、日、年为顺序,月份可以缩写,日和年用逗号隔开,例如:december 18, xx或者dec. 18, xx。
2. 如果要写星期,星期要紧挨日期,它既可以放在日期前面,也可以放在日期后面,星期也可以省略不写。星期和日期之间不用标点,但要空一格,星期也可缩写,例如:thursday dec. 18, xx或dec.18,xx thursday
3. 天气情况必不可少,天气一般用一个形容词如:sunny, fine, rainy, snowy等表示。天气通常位于日记的右上角。

2. 信中不要涉及真实的人名和校名及其它相关信息, 否则不予评分。
3. 词数:不少于60词,开头已给出,不计入总词数。
More and more middle school students are going to all kinds of training class or getting a tutor at the weekend. There are two different opinions about it.
Some think it is necessary. First, they can learn better with the help of the teachers than by themselves. Second, they can strengthen what they learn in class. Third, they can get more useful things in those classes.
However, other people insist that it is not necessary. For one thing, students will not listen carefully in their normal classes if they can get the same knowledge in training classes. For another thing, most senior
students haven’t enough time to rest. What’s worse, the purpose of most of the training classes and family teachers is to earn money.
In my opinion, a training class or family teacher is not necessary. We can study well at school if we work hard. (In my opinion, whether a training class or family teacher is needed just depends. If you are really very weak at or interested in a certain subject, maybe it’s OK for you. But be sure to choose a good and suitable class or teacher, otherwise it would be a waste of time and money.)

典型论据
丁肇中谈“浪费”——时间是最浪费不起的
著名科学家丁肇中说:“看电影是金钱和时间上的浪费,尤其是时间,那是最浪费不起的。”丁肇中读起书来非常专心,夏天里甚至隆隆的雷声大作时,他都听不见,可说是雷打不动。如果遇到疑难问题,他决不中途退缩,要么查阅参考书籍,要么向老师和同学请教。不找到正确的答案,不弄个水落石出决不罢休,所以,他的时间总不够用。在实验室工作时,往往每天只睡两三个小时,甚至通宵达旦。为了搞科研,他需要和世界各地的研究机构联系,他乘飞机是“买月票”。一般人乘飞机不能睡觉,他正相反,乘飞机是最好的休息,常常见他下了飞机,眼睛里挂着血丝就直奔实验室……
马哈蒂尔讨厌做多余的事——绝不浪费时间
马来西亚前总理马哈蒂尔是个很重效率的人,他接受记者采访从来都是设计好一定时间就能完成的内容,绝不拖泥带水。采访中绝对没有多余的动作和话语,一到时间立即送客。他也最讨厌做一些占用工作时间的无用的事情。有一次,马哈蒂尔出访某个国家,由于访问极其成功,在回国的飞机上随从们悄悄准备了一场盛大的聚会,以示庆贺。本想给马哈蒂尔一个惊喜,没想到他知道后大发雷霆,认为这不仅浪费钱还浪费时间。马来西亚一位作家在一本名为《马哈蒂尔的另一面》的书中披露:马哈蒂尔最讨厌的 3 件事是理发、剪指甲和上厕所,因为在做这 3 件事时,无法同时做其他事情。
钱学森先当院长后当副院长——时间比职务珍贵
在钱学森的履历介绍上常有“任国防部五院副院长、院长”的字样,可实际上钱学森是先当院长,后当副院长。当年 45 岁的钱院长虽然精力充沛,但他既要为中国的导弹事业举办“扫盲班”,又要带领大家进行技术攻关,还要为研究院一大家人的柴米油盐操心。有时研究院的报告和幼儿园的报告会一同等待他批示。这些行政事务占用了他很多时问,为此他给聂帅写信,要求“退”下来改正为副,专心致力于科学研究和技术攻关,上级同意了他的要求。
巴尔扎克惜时如金——创作要争分夺秒
巴尔扎克是位多产的作家,他的时间是一分一秒也不空过的。一次,巴尔扎克太累了,对一个朋友说:“我睡一会儿,你 1 小时后叫醒我。” 1 个小时过去了,朋友实在不忍心叫醒他。巴尔扎克醒来后,发现超过了 1 小时,几乎是暴跳如雷地对朋友说:“你为什么不叫醒我,耽误了我多少时间啊 ! ”他平时每天写作十六七个小时,把自己关在房里,一日三餐由仆人从特定的窗口放进去。 1850 年, 51 岁的巴尔扎克自我感觉心脏病要大发作了。他问医生还能活多久,半年,还是 6 星期 ? 医生都用摇头来回答。巴尔扎克着急地说:“至少 6 天总可以了吧 ? 我还可以写个提纲,还可以把已经出版的 50 卷校订一下。”
富兰克林的时间表——时间是组成生命的材料
人们问富兰克林:“你怎么能做那么多的事呢 ? ”“您看看我的时间表就知道了。”他的作息时间表是什么样子呢 ?5 点起床,规划一天事务,并自问:“我这一天要做些什么事 ? ”上午 8 点至 11 点,下午 2 点至 5 点,工作;中午 12 点至 1 点,阅读,吃午饭;晚 6 点至 9 点,用晚饭、谈话、娱乐、考查一天的工作,并自问:“我今天做了什么事 ? ”
朋友劝富兰克林说:“天天如此,是不是过于……”“你热爱生命吗 ? ”富兰克林摆摆手,打断朋友的话,“那么别浪费时间,因为时间是组成生命的材料。”
“我没有工夫去看戏”——科学研究要争分夺秒
爱因斯坦从不无端浪费时间。无论在他年轻的时候,还是在他年老的时候,他都十分珍惜时间,把精力集中在对自然奥秘的探索上。
有一次,几个物理学家想让爱因斯坦休息一会儿,约他去看戏。爱因斯坦头也没抬,冷冷地说:“我没有工夫去看戏。”朋友们苦苦相劝,爱因斯坦语重心长地说:“等你们活到 60 岁的时候,就会珍惜由你们支配的每一个钟头。”
当他病重的时候,他的学生问他要什么。他低声说:“我现在只希望还有几个小时的时间,让我能够把一些稿子整理好。”
一天多赚 4 小时——只争朝夕
毛泽东日理万机,还要抽时间读书,时间对他来说真是有如金子般可贵。他对合理使用时间有自己的一套办法,用他的话说就是“一天多赚 4 个小时”。毛泽东的一天是以 28 小时为周期的,比如说,今天半夜 12 点睡,早晨 5 点起床,那么第二天就会在凌晨三四点睡,早晨八九点起床,第三天又会拖到早晨七八点睡,中午 12 点起床。这样,毛泽东就形成了自己独特的一天——比大自然的一天多 4 小时。
爱迪生幼年密友奇约恩有一次特地从乡下赶来探望他。到了爱迪生实验室门口,他请看门人通报,看门人答道:“主人此刻有要事在身,不便通报,请到会客室等一等 ! ”进了会客室,只见已有一位女客坐在沙发里埋头看书。过了半个小时,奇约恩烦躁地问看门人:“可以通报了吧 ? ”看门人道:“对不起,请再等片刻。”这时,那位女客看了看手表,站起身来,低声与看门人嘀咕了几句,没精打采地走了。又过了一刻钟,奇约恩气呼呼地对看门人嚷道:“嗯,到底会不会 ?! 你不要小看我这个乡下人,我……”话没说完,看门人问道:“你知道刚才的女客人是谁吗 ? ”奇约恩说:“我远道赶到这里,谁管你们的男客女客 ! ”看门人微微一笑,说:“跟你实说了吧,她是我们主人的太太 ! 今天有事商议已足足等了 3 个小时,主人今天工作没有完毕,她只得先回家去啦。”原来,爱迪生每天早晨走进实验室以后,往往忘记了一切。工作没有完毕,概不会客,即使夫人要见,也只得“打回票”。
鲁迅惜时如金——时间是挤出来的
文坛巨匠鲁迅先生很爱惜时间。他一生撰写和翻译了 640 万字,平均每天写 2000 字,为无产阶级文化宝库留下了极其丰富的遗产。
许广平在回忆鲁迅时说:“他常常一点一滴地积累时间学习。成天东家玩玩,西家坐坐,说长道短,是他最怕的。如果有朋友在他工作的时候来谈天了,就是最要好的朋友,他也会毫不客气地说:唉,你又来了,没有别的事好做吗 ? ”
鲁迅把时间当作生命。他说:“节省时间,也就是使一个人的有限生命,更为有效,而也即等于延长了人的生命。”正像他所说的,他把别人喝咖啡的时间都用在了工作上。他是用跑步的速度度过了自己的一生。鲁迅在逝世前不久,还在病床上写作。他有一句名言:节省时间,也就使一个人的有限生命更加有效,而也即延长了人的生命。
司马光的“警枕”——学习要抓紧一切时间
司马光爱读书,总是抓紧一切时间学习,在他的书房中,除了卧具和图书,还有一个奇特的枕头。这个枕头用圆木做成,光滑浑圆,是司马光为了约束自己不至于睡得太久而做的。当他睡得太熟或太久时,一翻身,枕头就会滚动,这样他就会被惊醒,赶紧又起来继续看书。为此他还给这个枕头起名叫“警枕”,以警醒自己节约时间,刻苦学习。
歌德以时间为财产——“时间是宝贵的财富”
德国诗人、剧作家、思想家歌德,一生的作品很多,早期有剧本《葛冯·伯利欣根》、书信体小说《少年维特之烦恼》等,重要诗剧有《浮士德》。歌德一生孜孜不倦地努力写作,非常珍惜时间,他在一首诗里写道:
我的产业是多么美,
多么广,多么宽 !
时间是我的财产,
我的田地是时间。
歌德的话是很有见地的。因为时间就是生命,就是事业,只有珍惜时间,才能延长生命,才能取得事业的成功。
“合理的方式”——为节约时间,不惜“毁容”
维克多·雨果是 19 世纪法国著名作家。有一回,他为了创作一部新作品,便紧张地投入了工作中。可是,外面不断有人来邀他去赴宴,出于礼节,他不得不去,为此浪费了好多时间。最后,他想出了一个绝妙的办法,把自己的头发剪去一半,又把胡子剪掉,再把剪子扔到窗外。这样,他就不好出去会客,不得不留在家里。于是他专心致志地埋头创作,把又一部巨著奉献给人们。他把这种办法称之为“合理的方式”。
“为什么要明天”——今天的事今天做
柯罗是法国画家,他是使法国风景画从传统的历史风景画过渡到现实主义风景画的代表人物。曾经三次旅游意大利,遍游法国,深入大自然,创作了一批简练、淳朴、继承传统又出新意的风景画和人物画。
有一天,一位青年画家来到柯罗家里,把自己的作品拿出来给柯罗看。柯罗指出了对方作品中几处他觉得不满意的地方,青年画家很感动,连忙表示:“谢谢您,明天我全部修改。”柯罗激动地问道:“为什么要明天 ? 您想明天才改吗 ? 要是您今天就死了呢 ? ”
徐特立守时不违——惜时就要守时
徐特立的时间观念很强,他珍惜自己的时间,也珍惜别人的时间。开会必准时到达;与人约会,必按时赴约,如有改变,必定先通知。他说:“如果迟到一分钟,有 60 人参加的会就要浪费别人一点钟;有 600 人参加的会就要浪费别人 10 点钟,人数越多,浪费越大。这是不可容忍的错误。鲁迅先生不是说过吗 ? 浪费别人的时间,等于谋财害命 ! ”
徐特立一生最善于挤时间读书,日间工作繁忙,就挤晚上的睡眠时间。他这种孜孜不倦、认真看书学习的精神,一直坚持到晚年而没有懈怠。
富兰克林卖书——时间就是金钱
著名的物理学家和政治学家富兰克林在自己的实验室旁开了一间书店。一天,一位青年人走进这家书店,挑中了一本价值一美元的书。他和店员为这本书的价格问题发生了争执,店员只好从实验室里请来了富兰克林。下面是两人的对话:
“你把书拿走吧,我不要你的钱。我宁愿倒找你一美元,而不愿放下我忙碌的工作。”
“先生,你弄错了,我只不过想便宜一点。”
“那好吧,这本书现在卖两美元。”
“什么 ? 你刚才不是说不要钱吗 ? ”
“我现在能出的价钱是三美元。”说完,富兰克林转身回到了自己的实验室。
青年人默默掏出三美元,买下了这本书。他认为花这三美元是值得的,因为他懂得了一个令人终生受益的道理:时间就是金钱。
拿破仑吃饭不等人——守时珍惜别人的时间
拿破仑是一个时间观念很强的人,他最痛恨不守时的行为。有一次他请几位将军吃饭,时间到了那几位将军还没来。拿破仑焦急地在饭桌边踱了几个来回,就自己一个人坐下大吃起来。等那些将军到来之时,他已经吃完了,吩咐佣人收拾餐具。并对将军们说:“诸位,聚餐时间已过,现在咱们开始研究事情吧 ! ”那几个将军坐也不是,站也不是,尴尬得想钻到地缝里去。从此,只要是赴拿破仑的约,就再也没人敢迟到了。
凡尔纳从不放弃时间——成功的秘密就是惜时
凡尔纳是法国著名的科幻小说家。他每天 5 点起床,除了用餐和很短时间的休息外,一直伏案写作,直到晚上 8 点。他的妻子关切地说:“你写的书已经不少了,为什么还抓得这么紧呢 ? ”凡尔纳回答说:“你记得莎士比亚的名言吗 ? 放弃时间的人,时间也会放弃他。哪能不抓紧呢!”凡尔纳一生写了 66 部长篇小说和一些短篇小说集,还有几个剧本和其他著作,共七八百万字。对如此丰硕的成果,有人悄悄地问他的妻子,其中的秘密是什么 ? 凡尔纳的妻子坦然地说:“秘密吗 ? 就是他从不放弃时间。”
哲理材料
涸辙之鲋
庄周去向监河侯借粮,监河侯说:“可以啊,但要等年终租税收上来后,那时我可以借你 300 斤。”庄周很气愤,便说:“昨天在路上我碰见了一条鲫鱼,求我给它一瓢水活命,我答应它说我可以到南方去把西江的水引来救它。鲫鱼生气地说:我离开相依为命的水已经快要死掉了,现在只要一瓢水就可以救活我,而你却要去千里之外引西江的水,等你回来之后,干脆到鱼铺去找我好了。”
时间银行
假设有一家银行,每天在你的账户里存入 86400 元,限令你必须在当天把这笔钱用完,没有用完的第二天就自动注销,你会怎么办?事实上真有这样的一家银行——它的名字叫时间,它每天给你 86400 秒。
珍惜时间的科学家
一天,几个物理学家开车去爱因斯坦的家,想请他去看一出新戏。但爱因斯坦正在书房认真地写科学论文。
“亲爱的博士,请你休息一下,和我们去看戏吧!”物理学家们恳求说。“我没工夫看戏。”爱因斯坦冷冷地说,头也没有抬。
“博士,我们有车送你,花不了你多少时间。”
“行了,不用劝我。”爱因斯坦抬头看几位物理学家,语重心长地说,“等你们活到 60 岁,就会感到时间的珍贵了。”
物理学家们惭愧地低着头,悄悄地退出爱因斯坦的书房。
爱因斯坦十分珍惜时间,把时间都花在对自然奥秘的探索上面了。
一天,下着毛毛细雨,爱因斯坦头戴宽边帽,在一座桥的桥头来回踱步。他手里拿笔,时而凝神思索,时而在纸片上写些什么。对于细雨,他似乎毫无感觉。
“你好,博士!”一位路过的朋友奇怪地问,“你在这干什么?”
“我在应约一位学生,但他至今未来。”
“那你不可惜你的时间?”朋友知博士惜时如金,惊讶地问。
“啊,不,不!我非常有意义地度过了这段时间。”爱因斯坦摇头说,“在这段时间里,我思考并解答了一个有趣的问题。”说完,他把手里的纸片小心地叠好,放入袋里……
时间银行的故事
想像有一家银行每天早上都在您的账户里存入 86,400 元,可是每天的账户余额都不能转存到第二天,结算时间一到,银行就会把您当日未用尽的款项全数删除!在这种情况下,请问您该怎么做?每天不留分文地全数提领才是智者的最佳选择!
您可能疏忽了?!其实我们每个人都有那么样的一个银行账号,她的名字就是 Time-时间!每天早上时间银行会在您的账户里自动存入 86,400 秒;深夜一到,她也会自动把您当日未提用的光阴存款全数注销,没有分秒可以转结到隔天!同样的道理,您也不能够提前预支片刻的时间款项。
如果您没能适当地使用那些时间存款,损失掉的只有您自己去承担!没有回头重来,也不能预借明天,您必须根据自己所拥有的时间存款而活在现在;您应该善加运用您的时间款项,以换取投资报酬率最高的健康、快乐与成功!时间总是不停地在往前运行着,尝试努力让自己的每个今天都能够有最丰盛的投资理财佳绩!

做惜时如金的人
你可能没有比尔·盖茨那般富有,但有一样东西你和别人拥有的一样多,那就是时间。时间对于每一个人来说,都是异常公平的,不论富人或穷人,男人或女人,聪明或不聪明的,摆在你面前的时间,每天都是24小时,总统和乞丐的生命都是同一单位。
爱因斯坦曾组织过享有盛名的“奥林比亚科学院”,每晚例会,他总是愿意同与会者手棒茶杯,开怀畅饮,边喝茶,边谈话。爱因斯坦就是利用这种闲暇时间,交流自己的思想,把这些看似更平常的时间利用起来。后来他的某些理想主张,他的各种科学创见,在很大程度上产生于这种饮茶的时间里。
爱因斯坦并没有因为这是闲暇时间而休息,而是在休闲时工作,这是很好的结合。现在,茶杯和茶壶已渐渐地成为英国剑桥大学的一项“独特设备”,以纪念爱因斯坦利用闲暇时间的创举。
创新论证
时间的成本
日本太阳公司为提高开会效率,实行开会分析成本制度。每次开会时,总是把一个醒目的会议成本分配表贴在黑板上。
成本的算法是:会议成本 = 每小时平均工资的 3 倍× 2 ×开会人数×会议时间 ( 小时 ) 。公式中平均工资之所以乘以 3 ,是因为劳动产值高于平均工资;乘以 2 是因为参加会议要中断经常性工作,损失要以 2 倍来计算。因此,参加会议的人越多,成本越高。有了成本分析,大家开会态度就会慎重,会议效果也十分明显。
如何节约时间,以最大限度地提高企业工作效率并节约成本是摆在各企业管理者面前的一个不容忽视的问题,很多企业,特别是国企,时常会把时间和精力浪费在无休止、无意义的会议上。
我们这里倒不是说企业不开会更好。会议是企业解决问题、部署工作的必要环节,可如果把更多的时间花在喊口号上,职工们还有时间去做自己的工作吗?
会是要开的,一周开一次例会就差不多了,而且在开会时,要落实到具体的问题上。如果开一次会只是为了在会议室打一阵子瞌睡,喝两杯茶,这只能说明这次会议只是走了一下形式而已。
聪明的老板是不愿看到这一群走马观花的下属的。这就要求公司培养高素质的员工,让他们设身处地地为公司着想,珍惜每一分钟,哪怕是开会的那几十分钟。即使没有人发言,只要他在认真地听,已说明他是个认真干事的人了。
“一日之计在于夜”
人们常说:“一日之计在于晨”,这话有其固有的含义。但如把“一日之计”的“计”,看作是“筹划”、“思考”的意思,则可对这话另作一番议论。对于我们这批莘莘学子来说,早晨只是又一个新的学习跋涉的起点,我们都必须在这时养足精神,然后再去接受更多意料不到的挑战。我们根本来不及多想这一天如何过。
相反,到了晚上,我们不仅有时间总结一天的收获,细细地咀嚼一天的生活,将白天的学习内容作一番深入探讨;还可以有足够的时间打算一下,未来的明天如何过。
因此,据我一点不成熟的思考,一日之计在于“夜”。
等到黑夜完全降临,你会发现,你好像已成为万物的主宰。黑色夜幕就如熟识的黑板,你的大脑就像粉笔,在上面不断画过,如行云流水一般。你仿佛清晰地看到了蕴藏在心底的一切,符号、数字、文字与图形……
这时候的你,灵感也会特别丰富,白天搁置多时的问题现在都可以在弹指间迎刃而解。或许你会自嘲地说:“白天我难道是傻瓜 ? ”不,那只是因为黑夜赋予了你更多的灵感。夜里看上去整个世界都黑洞洞的,感到宇宙的浩瀚与自我的渺小,于是,心神也如黑夜一般开阔与无尽,灵感的激流于一瞬间喷发而出,经久不息。难道你没有看到,李白、苏轼、鲁迅、朱自清,乃至世界各国的作家们,都喜在灯下疾书吗 ?
“今日事,今日毕”,待到完成了今天的内容,就该稍稍考虑“明日事,如何为。 ”头脑经过了夜的洗礼,已渐趋清灵,作出明日的计划不仅正确,而且有条理。若“明日事”待“明日思”,不仅糊涂,而且由于仓促而欠缺条理。那么,为何不重新考虑一下“明日事,今日算” ?
夜是黑暗的,但黑夜中的一切并不一定都是黑暗。在黑夜中,我们这批学子的头脑便是闪亮的光明所在,因为在这“一日之计”中溶入了我们日复一日的希望。黑夜赋予我们黑色的眼睛,而我们注定要用它在黑夜中摸索出自己的生活。
惜时也要注意休息
我们应该珍惜时间,但惜时也应该注意休息。人的身体都有一定的承受能力,超过这个承受力,人的学习、工作的效率会下降,而且还会伤及自己的身体。因此我们提惜时,但同时要注意适当的休息,只有休息好了,人的学习、工作的效率才会提高,才能真正做到惜时。
时间等于质量
苏联历史学家雷巴科夫曾说:“时间是个常数,但对勤奋者来说,是个变数。用分来计算时间的人,比用时来计算时间的人,时间多五十九倍。”文学巨匠鲁迅先生就是把别人喝咖啡的时间用在写作上,所以有那么多的作品,而且大都是千古绝唱,给人以永恒的启迪。他曾说:“时间,就像海绵里的水,只要愿挤,总还是有的。”这就告诉我们要想不成为时间的奴仆,就要拿出信心和勇气,做时间的主人,与生命争时间,使有限的生命在事业和创造中得到永生。高尔基说:“当一个人同妨碍他生命的事物进行斗争时,生活便会比什么都更加充实,更有意义。在斗争中,苦闷无聊的时刻便会不知不觉地飞逝而去。”因此,时间不在它的长短,而在于质量。

全文共 687 字
+ 加入清单2001年7月13日22时21分,“北京成功了!”“我们赢了!”天安门前,人潮奔涌,真情撼天震地。世界把信任给了我们,未来把机遇给了我们,执著的“五星”钟情于“五环”,热情的“五环”拥抱“五星”。昨天,中国选择了爱;今天,世界选择了中国;明天,中国将给世界一个奇迹!
奥运是什么?它是一个没有硝烟的战场。人类之间的战争,就其本质目的来说,并不在于屠杀,而在于使敌方屈服。这一点,在奥运会上得以充分实现。人类作为一种高级动物,本来就有着协作与好战的双重属性,否则,世界上就不会有那么多的战争。但愿奥运能成为人类竞争与好胜的最终战场,而使真正的血腥战争得以消亡。
奥运是人类体能的博览会。似海豚,奥运会上有着那么多优美的泳姿;似猎豹,百米冲刺风驰电掣;似雄鹰,体操、跳水志在长空。
奥运是一个舞台,展现着力量、意志、技巧和自然的美,以及生理上的极限,赢得了数以亿计观众的青睐。人们为胜利所鼓舞,为失误而遗憾,为参与而自豪。每一枚奖牌,其分量均超过奥斯卡、金熊的奖杯。
奥运是人生的缩影。冠军是幸运的,在通往冠军的金字塔下,多少无名英雄为之而奋力攀登;冠军是短暂的,今日的冠军,明日可能名落孙山;冠军是相对的,某一项目的冠军,在其他方面很有可能是低能儿;冠军是荣耀的,但在他高唱国歌、热泪盈眶之时,想到的并不是未来怎样辉煌,而是回想到了数年来伤病的困扰和艰苦的训练;冠军是可贵的,在他的身上,有着多少不屈不挠、挑战自我、勇攀高峰的精神。
奥运是人类的圣会。除了它,人类的哪一项社会活动能在如此公正、祥和、欢庆的气氛中进行?祝愿奥运精神永驻人间,给世界带来和平、带来欢乐、带来繁荣、带来希望。

Before foreign guests, we should have an easy manner and behave politely and warm-heartedly. In public places, such ugly behaviors as uproar, pushing or squeezing together, spitting and so on should be determinedly forbidden.

篇17:高考写作素材
全文共 1711 字
+ 加入清单一、最后一课:
哲学家在草地上给弟子上最后一课,问:“如何除掉这些杂草?”弟子甲说:“用铲子铲。”乙说:“用火烧。”丙说:“撒上石灰。”丁说:“连根拔去。”哲学家说:“都试一下。如果没有除掉,一年后再来此相会。”一年后,都来了,哲学家未来。但他的弟子看到满地茂盛的庄稼而无一根杂草,终于悟到了一个真理:欲无杂草,必须种上庄稼。
审题参考:这个故事让人明白:欲无必有,欲有必无。那么,要心中有真善美,必远离假恶丑。这必须经过选择、鉴别和心灵的“巷战”,才会让一个退出,另一个占据。提示“无”与“有”是两个抽象的概念,材料中要“无草”,则要“有庄稼”,这是含义深刻的比喻,草喻生活中的假恶丑,庄稼喻真善美,此类题目审题时要注意化抽象为具体,联系实际。
二、两只小鸟:
有两只小鸟,一只关在笼子里,一只放飞在野外。在笼子里的小鸟三餐无忧,在野外的小鸟自由自在。两只小鸟经常交谈。笼里的小鸟羡慕野外小鸟的自由自在;野外的小鸟则羡慕笼里的小鸟的安逸。一日,一只小鸟对另一只小鸟说:“咱们换一换吧!”另一只小鸟同意了。于是笼子里的小鸟飞进了大自然,野外的小鸟飞进了笼子里。从笼子里飞出来的小鸟高高兴兴,在大自然里拼命地飞呀飞呀;飞进笼子里的小鸟也十分兴奋,因为不用为寻找食物而发愁了。但不久,两只鸟都死了。一只是因饥饿而死,一只是因忧郁而死。从笼子里出来的小鸟获得了自由,却没有同时获得捕食的本领;飞进笼子里的小鸟获得了安逸,却失去了自由。
审题参考:本来两只鸟都生活得很幸福,各得其所,相安无事,但是,它们却这山望着那山高,欲壑难填,结果把那小命都搭上去了。这个悲剧告诉人们:知足者常乐。
三、头顶樱桃树的小鹿:
在森林里住着一个猎人。有一次,他在打猎途中遇到了一只美丽的小鹿,可是子弹打光了,于是他顺手把几粒吃剩的樱桃核放进了枪膛。枪响了,头部受伤的小鹿很快消失在密林深处。奇迹就由此发生了。第二年春天,人们惊奇地发现,森林里出现了一只头顶上长着樱桃树的小鹿。樱桃小树在小鹿头顶上茂盛异常。在收获的季节里,小鹿摇落鲜红的樱桃果,把果实分给森林里所有的居民,包括那个射伤她的猎人。小鹿由此赢得了大家的喜爱与敬佩。
审题参考:人生就要像小鹿那样,敢于鼓起直面困难的勇气,把袭来的子弹仔细珍藏,在血和泪的浇灌下让她它长大、开花、结果。漫漫人生路,几多风雨,几多坎坷,所以我们一定要学会坚强,要笑着面对挫折和打击,并最终把它们转化成前进的动力。此外要学小鹿,像她那样以仁慈为怀,以德报怨,化敌为友,这样才能建立一个和谐的环境。
四、擦亮心窗:
有一位女士,多年来总是嘲笑对面的女邻居懒惰:“你看她衣服永远都洗不干净,晾着的衣服上面总是有斑点!”有一天,这位女士的朋友到她家做客,听见她嘲笑对面的女士时,就仔细地观察起来。结果细心的朋友发现了问题所在,于是拿起一块抹布,把女士家的玻璃窗上的污垢擦干净,然后说:“你再看看,对面的衣服还脏吗?”原来是这位女士自己家的玻璃窗脏了。
审题参考:自己的玻璃窗脏了,透过这样的窗户看任何东西恐怕都是脏的。自己的心灵晦暗了,那么看任何人都是污浊的,有问题的,甚至是邪恶的。同时告诉人们,当你说别人不是时,应首先反省反省自己。
五、别让心脏了:
有一次,一位朋友拿给他一叠复杂的插图让他描画,当然报酬很高。他一面干一面对我说,这些插图都这么难画,一定是那个朋友把容易描画的都选了去,让他啃“骨头”,于是他就对朋友心生不满,并敷衍了事。几天以后,那位朋友来取插图,同时还带来了更多需要描画的插图,而且都比先前的那些插图容易描画。原来那个朋友是想让他先描画难画的,如果他能胜任那么容易画的他就更能胜任了。然而朋友看了他描画的插图后,没再留下那些容易描画的插图。事后那位朋友遗憾地告诉我:“本来我是想帮他牵上这条线,好让他以后一直帮这家出版社做下去的,可以固定地挣一笔‘外快’,谁知他不能胜任。”
审题参考:其实读了这篇短文后,我们不难知道,其实并不是文中我的亲戚的能力不能胜任,而是他的心不能胜任,他的心脏了,所以他总也看不清事实的真相,总以错误的眼光看待一切,最终贻误的是自己,只好眼睁睁地看着那煮熟的鸭子飞走了。这叫聪明反被聪明误。
篇18:英语作文写作的需要背诵的部分
全文共 45713 字
+ 加入清单下面的材料旨在丰富学生在是非问题写作方面的思想和语言,考生在复习时可以先分类阅读这些篇章,然后尝试写相关方面的作文题。
对于素材中用黑体字的部分,特别建议你熟读,背诵,因为它们在语言和观点上都值得吸收。学习语言的人应该明白,表达能力和思想深度都靠日积月累,潜移默化。从某种意义上说,提高英语写作能力无捷径可走,你必须大段背诵英语文章才能逐渐形成语感和用英语进行表达的能力。这一关,没有任何人能代替你过。
因此,建议你下点苦功夫,把背单词的精神拿出来背诵文章。何况,并不是要求你背了之后永远牢记在心:你可以这个星期背,下个星期忘。这没有关系,相信你的大脑具有神奇的能力。背了工具箱里的文章后,你会惊讶的发现:I can think in English now!

12. If you can read and don’, you are an illiterate by choice.
2. Damaging Research
A study by National Parent-Teacher Organization revealed that in the average American school, eighteen negatives are identified for every positive that is pointed out. The Wisconsin study revealed that when children enter the first grade, 80 percent of them feel pretty good themselves, but by the time they get to the sixth grade, only 10 percent of them have good self-images.
3. Education and Citizenship
An important aspect of education in the United States is the relationship between education and citizenship. Throughout its history this nation has emphasized public education as a means of transmitting democratic values, creating equality of opportunity, and preparing new generations of citizens to function in society. In addition, the schools have been expected to help shape society itself. During the 1950s, for example, efforts to combat racial segregation focused on the schools. Later, when the Soviet Union launched the first orbiting satellite, American schools and colleges came under intense pressure and were offered many incentives to improve their science and mathematics programs so that the nations would not fall behind the Soviet Union in scientific and technological capabilities.
Education is often viewed as a tool for solving social problems, especially social inequality. The schools, t is thought, can transform young people from vastly different backgrounds into competent, upwardly mobile adults. Yet these goals seem almost impossible to attain. In recent years, in fact, public education has been at the center of numerous controversies arising from the gap between the ideal and the reality. Part of the problem is that different groups in society have different have different expectations. Some feel that children should be taught basic job-related skills; still others believe education should not only prepare children to compete in society but also help them maintain their cultural identity (and, in the case of Hispanic children, their language). On the other hand, policymakers concerned with education emphasize the need to increase the level of student achievement and to improve parents in their children’s education.
Some reformers and critics have called attention to the need to link formal schooling with programs designed to address social problems. Sociologist Charles Moscos, for example, is a leader in the movement to expand programs like the Peace Corps, Vista, and Outward Bound into a system of voluntary national service. National service, as Moscos defines it, would entail “the full-time undertaking of public duties by young people whether as citizen soldiers or civilian servers-who are paid subsistence wages” and serve for at least one year. In return for this period of service, the volunteers would receive assistance in paying for college or other educational expenses.
Advocates of national service and school-to-work programs believe that education does not have to be confined to formal schooling. In devising strategies to provide opportunities for young people to serve their society, they emphasize the educational value of citizenship experiences gained outside the classroom. At this writing there is little indication that national service will become a new educational institution in the United States, although the concept is steadily gaining support among educators and social critics.
4. The Teacher’s Role
Given the undeniable importance of classroom experience, sociologists have done a considerable amount of research on what goes on in the classroom. Often they start from the premise that, along with the influence of peers, students’ experiences in the classroom are of central importance to their later development. One study examined the impact of a single first-grade teacher on her students’ subsequent adult status. The surprising results of this study have important implications. It is evident that good teachers can make a big difference in children’s lives, a fact that gives increased urgency to the need to improve the quality of primary-school teaching. The reforms carried out by educational leaders like James Comer suggest that when good teaching is combined with high levels of parental involvement the results can be even more dramatic.
Because the role of the teacher is to change the learner in some way, the teacher-student relationship is an important part of education. Sociologists have pointed out that this relationship is asymmetrical or unbalanced, with the teacher being in a position of authority and the student having little choice but to passively absorb the information provided by the teacher. In other words, in conventional classrooms there is little opportunity for the students to become actively involved in the learning process. On the other hand, students often develop strategies for undercutting the teacher’s authority: mentally withdrawing, interrupting, and the like. Hence, much current research assumes that students and teachers influence each other instead of assuming that the influence is always in a single direction.
5. Education Philosophy
For the past fifty years our schools have operated on the theories of John Dewey (1859-1953), an American educator and writer. Dewey believed hat the school’s job was to enhance the natural development of the growing child, rather than to pour information, for which the child had no context, into him or her. In the Dewey system, the child becomes the active agent in his own education, rather than a passive receptacle for facts.
Consequently, American schools are very enthusiastic about teaching “life skills” –logical thinking, analysis, creative problem--solving. The actual content of the lessons is secondary to the process, which is supposed to train the child to be able to handle whatever life may present, including all the unknowns of the future. Students and teachers both regard pure memorization as an uncreative and somewhat vulgar.
In addition to “life skills”, schools are assigned to solve the ever growing stoke of social problems. Racism, teenage pregnancy, alcoholism, drug use, reckless driving, and are just a few of the modern problems that have appeared on the school curriculum.
This all contributes to a high degree of social awareness in American youngsters.
6. Student Life
To the students, the most notable difference between elementary school and the higher levels is that in junior high they start “changing classes”. This means that rather than spending the day in one classroom, they switch classrooms to meet their different teachers. This gives them three or four minutes between classes in the hallways, where a great deal of the important social action of high school traditionally takes place. Students have lockers in these hallways, around which thy congregate.
Society in general does not take the business of studying very seriously. Schoolchildren have a great deal of free time, which they are encouraged to fill with extracurricular activities—sports, clubs, cheerleading, scouts—supposed to inculcate such qualities as leadership, sportsmanship, ability to organize, etc. those who don’t become engaged in such activities or have afterschool jobs have plenty of opportunity to “hang out”, listen to teenager music, and watch television.
Compared to other nations, American students do not have much homework. Studies also show that American parents have lower expectations for their children’s success in school than other nationalities do. (Historically, there has not been much correlation between American school success and success in later life.) “He’s just not a scholar”, the American parents might say, content that their son is on the swim team and doesn’t take drugs. (Some of the young do choose to study hard, for reason of their own, such as determining that the road to riches lies through Harvard Business School.)
What American schools do effectively teach is the competitive method. In innumerable ways children are pitted against each other—whether in classroom discussion, spelling bees, reading groups, or tests. Every classroom is expected to produce a scattering of A’s and F’s (teachers often grade A=excellent; B=good; C=average; D=poor; and F=failed). A teacher who gives all A’s looks too soft—so students are aware that they are competing for the limited number of top marks.
Foreign students sometimes don’t understand that copying from other people’s papers or from books is considered wrong and taken seriously. Here, it is important to show that you have done your own work and are displaying your own knowledge. It is more important than helping your friends to pass, whom we think do not deserve to pass unless they can provide their own answers. Group effort goes against the competitive grain, and American students do not study together as many Asians do. Many Asians in this country consider their group study habits a large contributor to their school success.
7. Adult Education
After complaining about many aspects of American life, a 40-year-old woman from Hong Kong concluded, “But where else could someone my age go back to school and get a degree in social work? Here you can change your whole life, start a new business, do what you really want to do.”
So at least to this person, school requirements weren’t inhibiting. And to millions of others, adult education is the path to a new career, or if not to a new career, to a new outlook. Schools generally encourage the older person who wants to start anew, and besides regular classes, schedule evening classes in special programs. Today there are so many people of retirement age in college that it is no longer remarkable.
8. Moral Relativism in American
Improving American education requires not doing new things but doing (and remembering) some good old things. At the time of our nation’s founding, Thomas Jefferson listed the requirements for a sound education in the Report of the Commissioners for the University of Virginia. In this landmark statement on American education, Jefferson wrote of the importance of education and writing, and of reading history, and geography. But he also emphasized the need “to instruct the mass of our citizens in these, their rights, interests, and duties, as men and citizens.” Jefferson believed education should aim at the improvement of both one’s “morals” and “faculties”. That has been the dominant view of the aims of American education for over two centuries. But a number of changes, most of them unsound, have diverted schools from these great pursuits. And the story of the loss of the school’s original moral mission explains a great deal.
Starting in the early seventies, “values clarification” programs started turning up in schools all over America. According to this philosophy, the schools were not to take part in their time-honored task of transmitting sound moral values; rather, they were to allow the child to “clarify” his own values (which adults, including parents, had no “rights” to criticize). The “values clarification” movement didn’t clarify values; it clarified wants and desires. This form of moral relativism said, in effect, that no set of values was right or wrong; everybody had an equal right to his own values; and all values were subjective, relative, and personal. This destructive view took hold with a vengeance.
In 1985 The York Times published an article quoting New York area educators, in slavish devotion to this new view, proclaiming, “They deliberately avoid trying to tell students what is ethically right and wrong.” The article told of one counseling session involving fifteen high school juniors and seniors. In the course of that session a student concluded that a fellow student had been foolish to return one thousand dollars she found in a purse at school. According to the article, when the youngsters asked the counselor’s opinion, “He told them he believed the girl had done the right thing, but that, of course, he would not try to force his values on them. ‘If I come from the position of what is wrong,’ he explained, ‘then I’m not their counselor.’”
Once upon a time, a counselor offered counselor, and he knew that an adult does not form character in the young by taking a stance of neutrality toward questions of right and wrong or by merely offering “choices” or “options”.
In response to the belief that adults and educators should teach children sound morals, one can expect from some quarters indignant objections (I’ve heard one version of it expressed countless times over the years): “Who are you to say what’s important?” or “Whose standards and judgments do we use?”
The correct response, it seems to me, is, is we ready to do away with standards and judgments? Is anyone going to argue seriously that a life of cheating and swindling is as worthy as a life of honest, hard work? Is anyone (with the exception of some literature professors at our elite universities) going to argue seriously the intellectual corollary, that a Marvel comic book is as good as Macbeth? Unless we are willing to embrace some pretty silly position, we’ve got to admit the need for moral and intellectual standards. The problem is that some people tend to regard anyone who would pronounce a definitive judgment as an unsophisticated Philistine or a closed-minded “elitist” trying to impose his view on everybody else.
The truth of the real world is that without standards and judgments, there can be no progress. Unless we are prepared to say irrational things—that nothing can be proven more valuable than anything else or that everything is equally worthless—we must ask the normative question. It may come, as a surprise to those who fell that to be “progressive” is to be value-neutral. But as Matthew Amold said, “the world is forwarded by having its attention fixed on the best things” and if the world can’t decide what the best things are, at least to some degree, then it follows that progress, and character, is in trouble. We shouldn’t be reluctant to declare that some things, some lives, books, ideas, and values are better than others. It is the responsibility of the schools to teach these better things.
At one time, we weren’t so reluctant to teach them. In the mid-nineteenth century, a diverse, widespread group of crusaders began to work for the public support of what was then called the “common school”, the forerunner of the public school. They were to be charged with the mission of school felt that the nation could fulfill its destiny only if every new generation was taught these values together in a common institution.
The leaders of the common school movement were mainly citizens who were prominent in their communities—businessmen, ministers, local civic and government officials. These people saw the schools as upholders of standards of individual morality and small incubators of civic and personal virtue; the founders of the public schools had faith that public education could teach good moral and civic character from a common ground of American values.
But in the past quarter century or so, some of the so-called experts became experts of value neutrality, and moral education was increasingly left in their hands. The commonsense view of parents and the publicthat schools should reinforce rather than undermine the values of home, family, and country, was increasingly rejected.
There are those today still that claim we are now too diverse a nation, that we consist of too many competing convictions and interests to instill common values. They are wrong. Of course we are a diverse people. We have always been a diverse people. And as Madison wrote in FederalistNo.10, the competing, balancing interests of a diverse people can help ensure the survival of liberty. But there are values that all American citizens share and that we should want all American students to know and to make their own: honesty, fairness, self-discipline, fidelity to task, friends, and family, personal responsibility, love of country, and belief in the principles of liberty, equality, and the freedom to practice one’s faith. The explicit teaching of these values is the legacy of the common schools, and it is a legacy to which we must return.
9. Schools Should Teach Values
People often said, “Yes, we should teach these values, but how do we teach them?” this question deserves a candid response, one that isn’t given often enough. It is by exposing our children to good character and inviting its imitation that we will transmit to them a moral foundation. This happens when teachers and principals, by their words and actions, embody sound convictions. As Oxford’s Mary Warnock has written, “You cannot teach morality without being committed to morality yourself; and you cannot be committed to morality yourself without holding that some things are right and others wrong.” The theologian Martin Buber wrote that the educator is distinguished from all other influences “by his will to take part in the stamping of character and by his consciousness that he represents in the eyes of the growing person a certain selection of what is, the selection of what is ‘right’, of what should be.” It is in this will, Buber says, in this clear standing for something, that the “vocation as an educator finds its fundamental expression.”
There is no escaping the fact that young people need as example principals and teachers who know the difference between right and wrong, good and bad, and who themselves exemplify high moral purpose.
As Education Secretary, I visited a class at Waterbury Elementary School in Waterbury, Vermont, and asked the students, “Is this a good school?” They answered, “Yes, this is a good school.” I asked them, “Why?” Among other things, one eight-year-old said, “The principal Mr. Riegel, makes good rules and everybody obeys them.” So I said, “Give me an example.” And another answered, “You can’t climb on the pipes in the bathroom. We don’t climb on the pipes and the principal doesn’t either.”
This example is probably too simple to please a lot of people who want to make the topic of moral education difficult, but there is something profound in the answer of those children, something education should pay more attention to. You can’t expect children to take messages about rules or morality seriously unless they see adults taking those rules seriously in their day-to-day affairs. Certain must be said, certain limits lay down, and certain examples set. There is no other way.
We should also do a better job at curriculum selection. The research shows that most “values education” exercises and separate courses in “moral reasoning” tend not to affect children’s behavior; if anything, they may leave children morally adrift. Where to turn? I believe our literature and our history are a rich quarry of moral literacy. We should mine that quarry. Children should have at their disposal a stock of examples illustrating what we believe to be right and wrong, good and bad—examples illustrating what are morally right and wrong can indeed be known and that there is a difference.
What kind of stories, historical events, and famous lives am I talking about? If we want our children to know about honesty, we should teach them about Abe Lincoln walking three miles to return six cents and conversely, about Aesop’s shepherd boy who cried wolf if we want them to know about courage, we should teach them about Joan of Arc, Horatius at the bridge, and Harriet Tubman and the Underground Railroad. If we want them to know about persistence in the face of adversity, they should know about the voyages of Columbus and the character of Washington during the Civil War. And our youngest should be told about the Little Engine That Could. If we want them to know about respect for the law, they should understand why Socrates told Crito: “No, I must submit to the decree of Athens.” If we want our children to respect the rights of others, they should read the Declaration of Independence, the Bill of Rights, the Gettysburg Address, and Martin Luther King, Jr.’ “Letter from Birmingham jail.” From the Bible they should know about Ruth’s loyalty to Naomi, Joseph’s forgiveness of his brothers, Jonathan’s friendship with David, the Good Samaritan’s kindness toward a stranger, and David’s cleverness and courage in facing Goliath.
These are only a few of the hundreds of examples we can call on. And we need not get into issues like nuclear war, abortion, creationism, or euthanasia. This may come as a disappointment to some people, but the fact is that the formation of character in young people is educationally a task different from, and prior to, the discussion of the great, difficult controversies of the day. First things come first. We should teach values the same way we teach other things: one step at a time. We should not use the fact that there are many difficult and controversial moral questions as an argument against basic instruction in the subject.
After all, we do not argue against teaching physics because laser physics is difficult, against teaching American history because there are heated disputes about the Founders’ intent. Every field has its complexities and its controversies. And every field has its basics, its fundamentals. So they are too with forming character and achieving moral literacy. As any parent knows, teaching character is a difficult task. But it is a crucial task, because we want our children to be healthy, happy, and successful but decent, strong, and good. None of this happens automatically; there is no genetic transmission of virtue. It takes the conscious, committed efforts of adults. It takes careful attention.
10. College Pressures
Mainly I try to remind that the road ahead is a long one and that it will have more unexpected turns than they think. There will be plenty of time to change jobs, change careers, change whole attitudes and approaches. They don not want to hear such liberating news. They want a map—right now – that they can follow unswervingly to career security, financial security, Social Security and, presumably, a prepaid grave.
What I wish for all students is some release from the clammy grip of the future. I wish them a chance to savor each segment of their education as an experience in itself and not as a grim preparation for the next step. I wish them the right to experiment, to trip and fall, to learn that defeat is as instructive as victory and is not the end of the world.
My wish, of course, is na?ve. One of the national gods venerated in our media—the million-dollar athlete, the wealthy executive—and glorified in our praise of possessions. In the presence of such a potent state religion, the young are growing up old.
I see four kinds of pressure working on college students today: economic pressure, parental pressure, peer pressure, and self-induced pressure. It is easy to look around for villains—to blame the colleges for charging too much money, the professors for assigning too much work, the parents for pushing their children too far, and the students for driving themselves too hard. But there are no villains: only victims.
“In the late 1960s.” one dean told me. “The typical question that I got from students was ‘Why is there so much suffering in the world’ or ‘how I can make a contribution?’ Today it’s ‘Do you think it would look better for getting into law school if I did a double major in history and political science, or just majored in one of them?’” many other deans confirmed this pattern. One said: “They are trying to find an edge—the intangible something that will look better on paper if two students are about equal.”
Note the emphasis on looking better. The transcript has become a sacred document, the passport to security. How one appears on paper is more important than how one appears in person. A is for Admirable and B is for Borderline, even though, in Yale’s official system of grading, A means “excellent” and B means “very good.” Today, looking very good is no longer good enough, especially for students who hope to go on to law school or medical school. They know that entrance into the better schools will be an entrance into the better law firms and better medical practices where they will make a lot of money. They also know that the odds are harsh. Yale Law School, for instance, matriculates 170students from an applicant pool of 3,700; Harvard enrolls 550 from a pool of 7,000.
It’s all very well for those of us who write letters of recommendation for our students to stress the qualities of humanity that will make them good lawyers or doctors. And it’s nice to think that admission officers are ready reading our letters and looking for the extra dimension of commitment or concern. Still, it would be hard for a student not to visualize these officers shuffling so many transcripts studded with As that they regard a B as positively shameful.
The pressure is almost as heavy on students who just want to graduate and get a job. Long gone are the days of the “gentleman’s C.” when students journeyed through college with a certain relaxation, sampling a wide variety of courses-music, art, philosophy, classics, anthropology, poetry, religion—that would send them out as liberally educated men and women. If I were an employer I would rather employ graduates who have this range and curiosity than those who narrowly pursued safe subjects and high grades. I know countless students whose inquiring minds exhilarate me. I like to hear the play of their ideas. I do not know if they are getting As or Cs, and I do not care. I also like them as people. The country needs them, and they will find satisfying jobs. I tell them to relax. They cannot.
Nor can I blame them. They live in a brutal economy. Tuition, room, and board at most private colleges now come to at least $7,000, not counting books and fees. This might seem to suggest that the colleges are getting rich. But they are equally battered by inflation. Tuition covers only 60 percent of what it costs to educate a student, and ordinarily the remainder comes from what college receives in endowments, grants, and gifts. Now, the remainder keeps being swallowed by the cruel costs—higher every year—of just opening the doors. Heating oil is up. Insurance is up. Postage is up. Health-premium costs are up. Everything is up. Deficits are up. We are witnessing in American the creation of a brotherhood of paupers—colleges, parents, and students, joined by the common bond of debt.
Today it is not unusual for a student, even if he works part time at college and full time during the summer, to accrue $5,000 in loans after four years—loans that he must start to repay within one year after graduation. Exhorted at commencement to go forth into the world, he is already behind as he goes forth. How could he not feel under pressure throughout college to prepare for this day of reckoning? I have used “he,” incidentally, only for brevity. Women at Yale are under no less pressure to justify their expensive education to themselves, their parents, and society. In fact, they are probably under more pressure. For although they leave college superbly equipped to bring fresh leadership to traditionally male jobs, society has not yet caught up with this fact.
Along with economic pressure goes parental pressure. Inevitably, the two are deeply intertwined.
I see many students taking pre-medical courses with joyless tenacity. They go off to their labs as if they were going to the dentist. It saddens me because I know tem in other corners of their life as cheerful people.
“Do you want to medical school?” I asked them.
“I guess so,” they say, without conviction, or “Not really.”
“Then why are you going?”
“Well, my parents want me to be a doctor. They are paying all this money and …”
Poor students, poor parents, they are caught in one of the oldest webs of love and duty and guilt. The parents mean will; they are trying to steer their sons and draughts toward a secure future. But the sons and daughter want to major in history or classics or philosophy—subjects with no “practical” value. Where’s the payoff on the humanities? It’s not easy to persuade such loving parents that the humanities do indeed pay off. The intellectual faculties developed by studying subjects like history and classics—an ability to synthesize and relate, to weigh cause and effect, to see events in perspective—are just the faculties that make creative leaders in business or almost any general field. Still, many fathers would rather put their money on courses that point toward specific profession—courses that are pre-law, pre-medical, pre-business, or, as I sometimes heard it put, “pre-rich.”
But the pressure on students is severe. They are truly torn. One part of them feels obliged to fulfill their parents’ expectations; after all, their parents are older and presumably wiser. Another part tells them that the expectations that are right for their parents are not right for them.
I know a student who wants to be an artist. She is very obviously an artist and will be a good one—she has already had several modest local exhibits. Meanwhile she is growing as a well-round person and taking humanistic subjects that will enrich the inner resources out of which her art will grow. But her father is strongly opposed. He thinks that an artist is a “dumb” thing to be. The student vacillates and tries to please everybody. She keeps up with her art somewhat furtively and takes some of the “dumb” courses her father wants her to take—at least they are dumb courses for her. She is a free spirit on a campus of tense students—no small achievement in it—and she deserves to follow her muse.
Peer pressure and self-induced pressure are also intertwined, and they begin almost at the beginning of freshman year.
“I had a freshman student I’ll call Linda,” one dean told me, “who came in and said she was under terrible pressure because her roommate, Barbara, was much brighter and studied all the time. I could not tell her that Barbara had come in two hours earlier to say the same thing about Linda.”
The story is almost funny—except that it is not. It is symptomatic of all the pressure put together. When every student thinks every other student is working harder and doing better, the only solution is to study harder still. I see students going off to the library every night after dinner and coming back when it closes at midnight. I wish they would sometimes forget about their peers and go to a movie. I hear the clacking of typewriters in the hours before dawn. I see the tension in their eyes when exams are approaching and papers are due: “Will I get everything done?”
Probably they won’t. They will get blocked. They will sleep. They will oversleep. They will bug out.
Part of the problem is that they are expected to do. A professor will assign five page papers. Several students will start writing ten page papers to impress him. Then more students will write ten page papers, and a few will raise the ante to fifteen. Pity the poor student who is still just doing the assignment.
“Once you have twenty or thirty percent of the student population deliberately overexerting,” one dean points out, “It’s bad for everybody. When a teacher gets more and more effort from his class, the student who is doing normal work can be perceived as not doing well. The tactic work, psychologically.”
Why cannot the professor just cut back and not accept longer papers? He can, and he probably will. But by then the term will be half over and the damage done. Grade fever is highly contagious and not easily reversed. Besides, the professor’s main concern is with his course. He knows his students only in relation to the course and does not know that they are also overexerting in their other courses. Nor is it really his business. He did not sign up for dealing with the student as a whole person and with all the emotional baggage the student brought along from home. That’s what deans, masters, chaplains, and psychiatrists are for.
To some extent this is nothing new: a certain number of professors have always been self-contained islands of scholarship and shyness, more comfortable with books than with people. But the new pauperism has widened the gap still further, for professors who actually like to spend time with students do not have as much time to spend. They are also overexerting. If they are young, they are busy trying to publish in order not to perish, hanging by their figure nails onto a shrinking profession.
If they are old and tenured, they are buried under the duties of administering departments—as departmental chairmen or members of committees—that have been thinned out by the budgetary axe.
Ultimately it will be the students’ own business to break the circles in which they are trapped. They are too young to be prisoners of their parents’ dreams and their classmates’ fears. They must be jolted into believing into themselves as unique men and women who have the power to shape their own future.
“Violence is being done to the undergraduate experience,” says Carlos Hortas. “College should be open-ended: at the end it should open many, many roads. Instead, students are choosing their goal in advance, and their choices narrow as they go along. It’s almost as if they think that the country has been codified in the type of jobs that exist-that they’ve got to fit into certain slots. Therefore, fit into the best paying slot.”
“They ought to take chances. Not taking chances will lead to life of colorless mediocrity. They’ll be comfortable. But something in the spirit will be missing.”
I have painted too drab a portrait of today’s students, making them seem a solemn lot. That is only half of their story; if they were so dreary I wouldn’t so thoroughly enjoy their company. The other half is that they are easy to like. They are quick to laugh and to offer friendship. They are not introverts. They are usually kind and are more considerate of one another than any student generation I have known.
Nor are they so obsessed with their studies that they avoid sports and extracurricular activities. On the contrary, they juggle their crowded hours to play on a variety of teams, perform with musical and dramatic groups, and write for campus publications. But this in turn is one more cause of anxiety. There are too many choices. Academically, they have 1,300 courses to select from; outside class they have to decide how much spare time they can spare and how to spend it.
This means that they engage in fewer extracurricular pursuits than their predecessors did. If they want to row on the crew and play in the symphony they will eliminate one; in the ‘60s they would have done both. They also tend to choose activities that are self-limiting. Drama, for instance, is flourishing in all twelve of Yale’s residential colleges, as it never has before. Students hurl themselves into these productions—as actors, directors, carpenters, and technicians—with a dedication to create the best possible play, knowing that the day will come when the run will end and they can get back to their studies.
They also cannot afford to be the willing slave of organizations like the Yale Daily News. Last spring at the one-hundredth anniversary banquet of that paper—who’s past chairmen include such once and future kings as Potter Stewart, Kingman Brewster, and William F. Buckley, Jr.—much was made of the fact that the editorial staff used to be small and totally committed and that “newsies” routinely worked fifty hours a week. In effect they belonged to a club; Newsies is how they defined themselves at Yale. Today’s students will one or two articles a week, when he can, and he defines himself as a student. I’ve never heard the word Newsie except at the banquet.
If I have described the modern undergraduate primarily as a driven creature who is largely ignoring the blithe spirit inside who keeps trying to come out and play, it’s because that’s where the crunch is, not only at Yale but throughout American education. It’s why I think we should all be worried about the values that are nurturing a generation so fearful of risk and so goal-obsessed at such an early age.
I tell students that there is no one “right” way to get ahead—that each of them is a different person, starting from a different point and bound for a different destination. I tell neither them that change is a tonic and that all the slots are not codified nor the frontiers closed. One of my ways of telling them is to invite men and women who have achieved success outside the academic world to come and talk informally with my students during the year. They are heads of companies or ad agencies, editors of magazines, politicians, public officials, television magnates, labor leaders, business executives, Broadway products, artists, writers, economists, photographers, scientists, historians—a mixed bag of achievers.
I asked them to say a few words about how they got started. The students assume that they started in their present profession and knew all along that it was what they wanted to do. Luckily for me, most of them got into their field by a circuitous route, to their surprise, after many detours. The students are startled. They can hardly conceive of a career that was not pre-planned. They can hardly imagine allowing the hand of God or chance to nudge them down some unforeseen trail.
11. To Err Is Wrong
In the summer of 1979, Boston Red Sox first baseman Carl Yastrzemski became the fifteenth player in baseball history to reach the three thousand hit plateaus. This event drew a lot of media attention, and for about a week prior to the attainment of this goal, hundreds of reports covered Yaz’s every more. Finally, one reporter asked, “Hey Yaz, aren’t you afraid all of this attention will go to your head?” Yastrzemski replied, “I look at this way: in my career I’ve been up to bat over ten thousand times. That means I’ve been unsuccessful at the plate over seven thousand times. That fact alone keeps me from getting a swollen head.”?
Most people consider success and failure as opposites, but they are actually both products of the same process. As Yaz suggest, an activity that produces a hit may also produce a miss. It is the same with creative thinking; the same energy that generates good creative ideas also produces errors.
Many people, however, are not comfortable with errors. Our educational system, based on “the right answer” belief, cultivates our thinking in another, more conservative way. From an early age, we are taught that right answers are good and incorrect answers are bad. This value is deeply embedded in the incentive system used in most schools:
Right over 90% of the time = “A”
Right over 80% of the time = “B~”
Right over 70% of the time = “C~” Right over 60% of the time = “D~” Less than 60% correct, you fail.
From this we learn to be right as often as possible and to keep our mistakes to a minimum. We learn, in other words, that “to err is wrong.
Playing It Safe
With this kind of attitude, you aren’t going to be taking too many chances. If you learn that failing even a litter penalizes you (e.g., being wrong only 15% of the time garners you only a “B” performance), you learn not to make mistakes. And more important, you learn not to put yourself to situation where you might fall. This leads to conservative thought pattern designed to avoid the stigma our society puts on “failure”.
I have a friend who recently graduated from college with a Master’s degree in Journalism. For the last six month, she has been trying to find a job, but to no avail. I talked with her about situation, and realized that her problem is that she doesn’t know how to fail. She went through eighteen years of schooling to try any approaches where she might fail. She has been conditioned to believe that failure is bad in and of itself, rather than a potential stepping-stone to new ideas.
Look around. How many middle managers, housewives, administrators, teachers, and other people do you see who are to try anything new because of this failure? Most of us have learned not to make mistakes in public. As a result, we remove ourselves from many learning experience except for those occurring in the most private of circumstances.
Different Logic
From a practical point of view, “to err is wrong” makes sense. Our survival in the everyday world requires us to perform thousand of small tasks without failure. Think about it: you wouldn’t last very long if you were to step out in front of traffic or stick your hand a pot of boiling water. In addition, engineers whose bridges collapse, stock brokers who lose money for their clients, and copywriters whose ad campaigns decrease sales won’t keep their jobs very long.
Nevertheless, too great an adherence to the belief “to err is wrong” can greatly undermine your attempts to generate new ideas. If you are more concerned with producing right answers than generating original ideas, you’ll probably make uncritical use of the rules, formulae, and procedures used to obtain these right answers. By doing this, you’ll by-pass the germinal phase of the creative process, and thus spend litter time testing assumptions, challenging the rules, asking what-if questions, or just playing around with the problem. All of these techniques will produce some incorrect answers, but in the germinal phase errors are viewed as a necessary by-product of creative thinking. As Yaz would put it, “if you want the hits, be prepared for the misses.” That’s the way the game of life goes.
Errors as Stepping Stones
Whenever an error pops up, the usual response is “Jeez, another screw up, what went wrong this time?” the creative thinker, on the other hand, will realize the potential value of errors, and perhaps say something like, “Would you look at that! Where can it lead our thinking?” and then he or she will go on to use the error as a stepping stone to a new idea. As a matter of fact, the whole history of discovery is filed with people who used erroneous assumptions and failed ideas as stepping-stones to new ideas. Columbus thought he was finding a shorter route to India. Johannes Kepler stumbled on to the idea of interplanetary gravity because of assumptions that were right for the wrong reasons. And, Thomas Edison knew 1800 ways not to build a light bulb.
The following story about the automotive genius Charles Kettering exemplifies the spirit of working through erroneous assumptions to good ideas. In 1912, when the automobile industry was just beginning to grow, Kettering was interested in improving gasoline engine efficiency. The problem he faced was“knockthe phenomenon in which gasoline takes too long to burn in the cylinder-thereby reducing efficiency.
Kettering began searching for ways to eliminate the “knock.” He thought to him, “How can I get the gasoline to combust in the cylinder at an earlier time?” the key concept here is “early”. Searching for analogous situations, he looked around for models of “things that happen early.” He thought of historical models, physical models, and biological models. Finally, he remembered a particular plant, the trailing arbutus, which “happens early,” i.e., it blooms in the snow (“earlier” than other plants). One of this plant’s chief characteristics is its’ red leaves, which help the plant retain light at certain wavelengths. Kettering figured that it must be the red color, which made the trailing arbutus bloom earlier.
Now came the critical step in Kettering’s chain of thought. He asked himself, “How can I make the gasoline red?” perhaps I’ll put red dye in the gasoline—maybe that’ll make it combust earlier.” He looked around his workshop, and found that he didn’t have any red dye. But he did happen to have some iodine—perhaps that would do. He added the iodine to the gasoline and, lo and behold, the engine didn’t “knock”.

篇19:2024年高考写作素材:别让抢红包抢了春节的“戏”
全文共 1069 字
+ 加入清单毫无意外,缺少“美猴王”的猴年春晚,已沦落为纯粹的红包春晚。20:36、21:05、22:12、23:11四轮“咻一咻”,以及“不敬业”的五福红包,几乎霸占了春晚的所有黄金时段;微信在继续“摇一摇”、群红包的同时,再一次祭出了朋友圈“毛玻璃”的杀手锏,维护自己“红包界”的江湖地位;QQ“刷一刷”也在除夕夜刷回了自己的存在感。加上360和百度的搅局,在除夕夜,几乎不到10分钟,就有一大波红包来袭,让人抢得不亦乐乎。
与商家的“撒红包如土”相比,公众的热情更是有过之无不及。在寻常百姓家,“咻一咻”、“摇一摇”的“吸睛度”,远远盖过了春晚的小品、歌舞节目。据统计,在20点40分,支付宝春晚第一轮咻一咻的互动次数就达到677亿次,是去年春晚红包全场互动次数(110亿次)的6倍,在20点38分,用户的参与热情达到顶峰,“咻一咻”峰值达到177亿次/分钟。而微信红包的数据,也不逞多让。截止除夕夜晚间22:30,微信用户一共发送68.4亿个红包,微信用户一共摇走1.1亿个红包,红包互动总量8000万次。公众的参与热情可见一斑。
随之而来,抢红包也成功的抢了春节的“戏”。年轻人聚在一起,“摇一摇”“咻一咻”“刷一刷”,而老人和孩子被晾在一边的场景,在除夕夜屡见不鲜;父母辛辛苦苦张罗一桌年夜饭,而年轻人却不领情,只顾低头“咻红包”;看朋友圈“毛玻璃”的兴致,远远高过听父母倾述一年的“心路”......说实话,这些不过是抢红包的必选动作,抢的人不会感到有多另类。但给旁人带来的,却是强烈忽视感和疏离感。显然,这是得不偿失的。
别让“抢红包”抢了春节的“戏”。假如春节是一台大戏,那么,“抢红包”充其量只是一个暖场歌舞。可以活跃气氛,可以凝聚人气,甚至可能风光一时,但终究只是配角。而对于春节来说,真正的“正戏”是贴对联、拜大年、述亲情等承载文化符号的年俗。通过贴对联,感悟古代的“微传播”,承袭文化的力量、传统的力量;通过拜大年,亲朋好友之间促膝长谈,增进感情,共享团员喜气的年味;还有在正月十五看花灯、闹元宵,感受喜庆、共享团员等等。我们不能让“暖场舞”抢了“正戏”的风光。
春节是民族的精神图腾和心灵坐标,永远是我们最重要的节日。抢红包虽然好玩,但终究只是一场游戏,永远代替不了亲情和传统。而且,随着其它“新年俗”的到来,抢红包终究会像电话拜年、短信拜年一样,被公众遗忘。但无论新年俗如何更迭,贴对联、拜大年这些春节的“正戏”永远不会过时,这就是传统的力量,也是我们必须要珍惜和尊重的文化向心力。少咻几个红包,多秀一下亲情和年味儿,正当其时!
篇20:英语写作容易出现的误区和解决方法
全文共 744 字
+ 加入清单通过对近些年英语作文出题的趋势来看,中考对英语写作的考察更偏重于交际情景设置和不同体裁的要求,但是由于客观和种种主观原因,很多同学的作文容易走入种种误区,这些误区主要体现在以下方面:
构思、准备不充分,匆忙下笔。任何一篇作文出题都是有它独特的道理的,所以提前审题和构思就显得必不可少了。文新学堂教学专家提醒,很多学生目 前存在一个情况,想到哪写到哪,这也造成了作文杂乱无章,毫无条理,同时容易出现写错单词和用错句型的情况。针对这种情况可以从以下几个方面予以解 决:
1、认真审题,审题的重点放在写作体裁、格式、字数方面,确保第一遍审题就能保证得到基本分。
2、确定文体和时态,因为不同的文体要求的写作格式也是 不同的
3、列提纲,打草稿,然后修改。这样可以保证错误降低至最少或者没有错误,同时也能保持卷面整洁。
中心重点不突出,切题不准确。英语写作不是语文散文(形散神不散),写英语作文,尤其是在中考大压力下短时内写出高分作文一定要注意这一点。造 成这种情况的主要原因是动笔前并没有认真审题和思考,对出题者希望得到的预期尚未揣摩透彻,这也就造成了一些同学虽然语言功底非常不错,但是最终的结果还 是没有拿到一个自己预期的心理分数,最大的问题就出在切题不准确或者不够突出中心上了。
忽视文化差异。要时刻牢记一点,中英文表达方式有很大的差异,所以体现在作文表达上也常常会出现生硬的中国式作文表达,降低了作文质量。所以注重中英语言差异,并努力找到两者之间的表达方式上的共通点,并且有意识的运用就能避免类似的问题。
忽视细节,无谓失分。很多学生在写作文时常常感觉"下笔如有神",但最终结果出来后大惑不解。这方面的问题主要体现在忽视标点、书写、段落安排、大小写的问题,所以只要更加注重细节,这些无谓失分就可以解决。
