有些人会说：“生活可以玩电脑、吃零食、看电视。”而我却更愿意选择阅读。

作文课上，老师买来一大袋”南瓜酥“说是奖励给我们，同学们当然很高兴咯，谁不喜欢奖励呢？

正当我们欢天喜地准备大饱口福时，陆老师却笑一笑，慢悠悠地说：”今天啊，有个特别的要求，必须在肘关节不弯曲情况下放进嘴里。你们能做到吗？“大家顿时傻了，陆老师不是存心刁难人嘛！

虽然明知很难，但又实在禁不住美味的诱惑，许多同学仍纷纷举起手，跃跃欲试。那些没举手的则在下面讨论”策略“，待想好后再一鸣惊人。

老师先请了董思诚，他伸直手臂，抓起”南瓜酥“向空中抛去，”南瓜酥“在空中划过一条美丽的抛物线后开始往下落了。只见董思诚张大嘴巴，眼睛紧紧盯着”南瓜酥“，身体按”南瓜酥“落下的方向不断地移动，就在”南瓜酥“快要到嘴之际，他身子赶忙向前一迎，谁知”南瓜酥“一点也不领情，”哧溜“一下从他鼻子上滑落，毫不留情地掉到地上……董思诚不甘心，又连着试了好几次，但今天的”南瓜酥“实在与他无缘，每次都是失之交臂。

吸取了董思诚的经验，戴佳乐大摇大摆地上场了，只见，戴佳乐伸直手臂后并拢做成打排球的姿势，一点一点得把”南瓜酥“顺着胳膊往嘴巴这边滑，可是，也许戴佳乐的运气不佳，南瓜酥不一会儿便滑落下来。哎，第二种方法也以失败告终。

这时，章文成和周子蕊也走了上去，显然自信多了。瞧，她们各自抓起一块”南瓜酥“，伸直了手臂，不费吹灰之力地送到对方嘴中，然后对视一下，笑了。真是”巾帼不让须眉“，同学们都惊呆了，多么巧妙的方法啊，自己怎么就没想到呢？

同学们按照她俩的办法，不到两分钟，便轻而易举地将”南瓜酥“放入口中。

大家一边品尝着香甜的”南瓜酥“，一边领略着合作的兴奋。是啊，合作才是力量，合作才能收获美好、收获快乐，让我们依靠合作，做好每件事。

[适合四年级学生作文

“每当第一遍读一本好书的时候，我仿佛觉得找到了一个好朋友;当我再一次读这本书的时候，仿佛又和老朋友重逢。”著名大哲学家伏尔泰的金语就与我此时的心境想照应着，碰撞并激出热烈的青春火花。我认为一本好的书籍是可以由物质向意识形态转变的，它能使你喜使你忧，给你的心灵带来一次又一次巨大感触。

“你我天各一方的原因我也弄不清，

微不足道的理由是有的;我感到你悄悄爱上了别人，

唉!人世的纷纭:我为何远离你而去?!

我为何又重转回程?!

…… ”

这是法国著名小说家小仲马献给玛丽·杜普莱西的诗。这时，我又再一次捧起了这本著名——《茶花女》，尽管时隔一年之久，从书柜里将书抽出时，脑海里却还是会描摹出女主人公玛格丽特悲痛欲绝、无可奈何的面孔，同情之感油然而起。能够强烈打动我心炫的大概是这位烟花女子的悲惨命运，她的灵魂悲号，以及男主人公阿芒痛切肺腑的悔恨吧!

小仲马笔下塑造的女主人公玛格丽特形象鲜明，富有个性。她处处为了情人阿芒着想，不舍的花阿芒一分钱，为其牺牲了自己向往已久的奢华生活，甚至不愿让阿芒去借债，卖掉了自己的马车、首饰、披肩所有的财产，决心和风尘生涯一刀两断，想着和阿芒一起在远离繁区的乡间过着简朴的家庭生活。但事与违愿，在阿芒父亲闻讯赶来且百般阻挠、逼迫下，玛格丽特的美梦就此粉碎，她忍痛牺牲自己的爱情。在父亲的谗言下，对爱人爱之弥深的阿芒不明真相，以为玛格丽特爱慕虚荣变心了，对她万般羞辱。最后终于使得玛格丽特心力交瘁，在冤屈与疾病的双重折磨下，饮恨黄泉。

与当时大多数混迹上流社会的烟花女子不同，玛格丽特凸显出的美丽、聪明善良，尽管沦落风尘，但是依然有着一颗纯洁、高尚的心灵。她渴望得到美好真诚的爱情，而当这样的希望破灭了，又甘愿自我牺牲去成全他人。这一切都使得这位为人们所不齿的烟花女子的形象闪烁圣洁的光辉。

《茶花女》当时一经出版就立刻轰动全法国，尽管上流社会十分恼怒地批评该书渲染了烟花女子生活，是“淫荡堕落”、“低级恶俗”的作品，但更多的人们则是为其真诚感人的故事所征服。小说真实反映了资产阶级道德的腐朽性质，揭露当时法国资本主义社会的淫靡之风盛行，这种压抑人性、摧残爱情的虚伪自私而又残酷的道德思想观念把那些因命运不平沦落风尘但却冰清玉洁的人们送入了坟墓，让人为之叹息，一如一朵简洁纯白的茶花就此凋落。

读完了书，我内心依旧跌宕起伏、犹意未尽，它让我明白每个人的处境都不相同，不能因为看见对方做了一些无法让人理解的行为就在心里为对方判死刑，社会存在着诸多的不公平，很多人身不由己，我们应该学着多去理解宽容他人，不要武断给他人下定义。这也是我热衷于阅读的原因，书中教会我的使我能够更好的做到自省自律，使我不断充实自己，同时我也喜欢摘抄书中有意义的句子，当在学习或是生活中迷茫失向时，我就会翻开来看看，它就会如一盏明灯替我照亮脚下的道路。

多看一些好书，它可以让你开阔视野、陶冶情操，使你受益匪浅，正所谓“书中自有颜如玉，书中自有黄金屋。”阳光正好，就且与书相伴而行吧!

碎片阅读是一种读者通过手机、电子书、网络等进行的不完整的、断断续续的阅读模式。下面语文迷小编为大家提供了碎片阅读的好处英语作文，希望对你有帮助。

Many people read on digital devices like cell phones and e-books. The fast pace of life leaves many people no time to sit and read a whole book, so making use of fragmented time to read is sure to be a trend. Fragmented reading has its advantages. People can get hold of large amounts of information, knowledge, and entertainment in a short time. Digital reading is faster and more interactive than traditional deep reading.

Fragmented reading makes it harder for people to reflect on what they read. People may not bother to remember facts because they know they can always just search for answers online. It is important to read quality books in a deeper way, even if that means forcing yourself to do so. We read not only for knowledge and for practical use, but also for spiritual satisfaction.

Happiness is important in our life. In fact, happiness is always around you

if you put your heart into it.

I will never forget one thing. Once, I had a bad mark at a math test. I was

shy and afraid to meet my parents. But when I got back home late, my parents

knew what happened, they said to me: “It doesn’t matter, my child. Remember

we’ll be always beside you when you need help. We believe you can be better next

time. Never give up!” I was moved and made up my mind to work harder and

harder.

I feel happy. Whenever I am in trouble, I can feel my parents’ love. I want

to be a good child for my parents.

今年暑假，我看了我国的四大名著之一《西游记》，虽然只看了十几回，但是，其中一个故事的描写，给我留下了深刻的印象。

话说，王母娘娘要举行蟠桃盛会，邀请了天下的各路神仙。王母娘娘准备了的琼浆玉液给神仙们饮用，并吩咐仙子们去蟠桃园摘最新鲜的蟠桃。不巧的是孙悟空刚好是蟠桃园的看守。当他得知，他没有被邀请的时候，火了！一怒之下，闯进蟠桃盛会现场，吃喝打砸，把一个美轮美奂的会场搞的乌烟瘴气。

大闹蟠桃会的故事，让我感觉：神仙之中也有地位的高低之分的，同样是神仙，而孙悟空却没被邀请，也难怪孙悟空不高兴了。

可是，没有经过别人的允许，私自闯入别人的家里，吃喝之后还又打又砸的，实在也是太过份了。简直就是“强盗”行径。这么不讲理，也难怪要被佛祖压在五行山下500年了。

《西游记》后面还有好多没有看，一定还有很多精彩的故事等着我去欣赏。

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。

我在认真仔细地读完《西游记》后，知道了四个主要人物是：孙悟空、猪八戒、沙和尚和唐僧，还有一些仙人、佛祖、妖怪等。

这本书的中心是孙悟空、猪八戒、沙和尚和白龙马保护唐僧从东土大唐去西天拜佛取经，途中经历九，九，八十一难的事情。

他们几个中，我最喜欢孙悟空。第一，他能把人和妖分得清清楚楚，在三打白骨精里只有孙悟空知道村姑，老婆婆，老爷爷是白骨精变的。虽然猪八戒在打小报告，唐僧在埋怨，他也要坚持打死他们。第二，孙悟空对唐僧忠心耿耿，就因为三次打死了白骨精的化身，被唐僧误解成打死了三位好人，所以孙悟空被赶回了花果山。结果唐僧被抓去，猪八戒打不过妖怪，只好去花果山找孙悟空。孙悟空一听，知道了猪八戒的目的，就不计前嫌和猪八戒一起去收拾白骨精救出唐僧。碰到困难时，猪八戒常说：“我们散了吧！师兄你回花果山，师弟你回流沙河，我回高老庄当女婿。‘’而孙悟空坚持战胜困难，不散伙。第三，孙悟空机智勇敢地战胜妖魔鬼怪，克服一个个困难，终于和师弟们保得唐僧西天取到真经。

我从孙悟空身上学到了吃苦在前，不怕困难，机智勇敢，忠心耿耿还有不计前嫌，坚持不懈。

Learning English takes time so if we want to learn it well, we should spend

much time practicing using English every day. Besides, we should listen to the

teacher and take notes carefully in class. Go over what is learnt regularly and

finish doing our homework carefully.

If we have time,wed better isten to

English radio programmes, read English stories and newspapers, watch English

films and TV programmes ,keep a diary in English . If we make mistakes, correct

them at once and try not to make the same mistakes. Whats more, we should look

up new words in the dictionary before class and prepare each lesson carefully

before class. I believe if we work hard and have good ways of learning English,

we will learn English well.

Honestymeans speakingthe truth and being fair and upright in act. He who lies and cheats is dishonest.: Those who gain fortunes not by hard labour but by other means is dishonest.

诚实意味着真理和公正和正直的行为。谁谎言和欺骗，是不诚实的。：那些获得不是通过辛勤劳动，但通过其他方式的命运是不诚实的。

Honesty is a good virtue. If you are honest all the time,you’ll be trusted and respected by others. A liar is always looked down upon and regarded as a black sheep by the people around. Once you lie, people will never believe you even if you speak the truth.

诚实是一种美德。如果你是诚实的，你会赢得别人的信任和尊重。一个说谎者总是看不起周围的人视为害群之马。一旦你的谎言，人们甚至从来没有讲真话的相信你。

However, in the tide of commodity economy today, it seems that more and more people believe in money at the sacrifice of honesty. To them, among such things as health, beauty, m6ney, intelligence, honesty, reputation and talent, honesty is the only thing that can be east away. They don’t understand or pretend not to understand that honesty is the biggest fortune humans own, and that it is the prerequisite for doing everything well. I think these people areto be pitied.

然而，在商品经济大潮的今天，似乎越来越多的人相信钱牺牲诚信。对他们来说，健康，这些钱，美丽，智慧，诚实，信誉和人才，诚实是唯一可以东走。他们不明白也不想明白诚实是人类自己最大的财富，这是做好事情的前提。我认为这些人值得同情。

In short, honesty is gold. Honest, your reputation will become great;dishonest, your name will be spoiled and your personality degraded. Therefore, we should never make such an excuse as "A little dishonesty is only a trifle thing. We should eradicate immediately the seed of dishonesty once it is sowed in our minds.

总之，诚信是金。诚实，你的声誉将成为伟大的;不诚实，你的名字将被宠坏了你的个性和退化。因此，我们不应该让这样的借口是“有点不诚实只是一件小事。我们一旦不诚实的种子它播种在我们的脑海中立即消除。

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.

I think these rules are necessary as safety comes first.

Have a good summer holiday!

Yours,

Wang Wei

I often make a trip by trains because it;s both cheap and comfortable. Last winter holidays I traveled in a car for the first time in my life. At first I didn;t

feel well. But this kind of feeling didn;t last long. the trip was exciting.

While travelling in a car, we could stop at any time if we wanted to enjoy the view

outside. the fields, the mountains and rivers were really very nice.

On the way we visited many places of interest and took a lot of photos. It was an unforgettable

experience for me.

Nowadays, working overtime is so common in many companies, especially in

foreign companies, private companies, and joint ventures. As far as I am

concerned, there are two main reasons of working overtime. For one thing, there

is indeed too much work to do.

If it is so, the boss should compensate staffs by

paying them as overtime salary or giving them vacations. For another, some

staffs are not suitable for their positions. In that case, the boss ought to

help them to improve their working efficiency. If they are still not qualified,

boss may change the positions for them, or to the worst, dismiss them. Thats

all what I think about working overtime.

一个人，一场故事，一世遭遇，成就了《活着》。富贵的苦难，已经到了无以复加的地步，他从一个富家少爷，沦落到贫苦农民；他气死他爹，输光财产；他的儿女死了，妻子死了，女婿死了，外孙也死了，可他却还活着，孤零零的活着。

当在黄昏的田野上，富贵和他那头老牛耕耘在田地里，富贵对牛叨絮的那席话差点让我怜悯的掉下泪来。我觉到了余华的残忍，他为什么要让富贵活着？没有了亲人，没有了爱，只有大半辈子数不尽的苦难，富贵活着的意义何在？人到底为什么而活着？

当福贵看到赌的倾家荡产的龙二被毙掉的那一刻，庆幸的是福贵，后怕的也是福贵。他庆幸，是因为被毙掉的人不是自己。他后怕，是因为被毙掉的人本该是自己。命运是未卜的，生命是脆弱的。败家子的自己气死了爹，他知道，自己害死了一个生命；当被抓去拉大炮的自己回来没有看到娘的最后一眼，他明白，生命原来如此脆弱；当他的家人一个个死去的时候，他懂得，活着不易，活着有多好！

种地的艰辛，让他体会到活着的不易；公社的磨难，让他感受到活着的美好。活着就幸福，再艰难，只要活着那也是幸福；死亡是痛苦的，再好的墓葬，那也是痛苦。当富贵的家人一个个离自己而去的时候，有痛苦，但更多的是珍惜，珍惜自己现在还具有的生命，他知道，活着有多好。

余华《活着》的自序：“作为一个词‘活着’在我们中国的语言里充满了力量，他的力量不是来自于叫喊，也不是来自于攻击，而是忍受，去忍受生命赋予我们的责任，去忍受现实给予我们的幸福和苦难，无聊和平庸。”这里有一个关键词时“忍受”。可见余华笔下的富贵面对生命的苦难与绝望只是忍受，没有反抗，更不用说蔑视。也许有人不怕死，但他一定不想死；也许有人想要死，但他一定不愿意死。

Books are the ladder of human progress, like a spring of a wisp of dawn, a moonlight, comfortable, warm and soft.

And I was not in the said the words, nor in talks over my head, I just use the most real, the most substantial feel describe the pleasure of reading.

I have been fond of reading. So far, whats four big classics, the book of family names, embedded, tang poetry, book of li SAO, even if back also is more than enough. In reading a endless galaxy, I won a lot of wisdom, and the stars, they running upon the wires, echoes the books I beat desire, let me again and again into books. Each time I see a wonderful plots, I continue to see the tail will involuntarily, even if the book turns bad, also wanting more. It is a kind of power to promote my aggressive!

Reading let me understand a lot of unprecedented knowledge, also let me realize a strange feeling, his open mind let me know what is and what sincere gentleman, let me understand that there is a high realm from person to person. To sum up, in a few words I can read well, above the reading of the joy.

书籍是人类进步的阶梯，像一泓清泉，一缕晨曦，一丝月光，舒心，温暖又柔和。

我并没有在自说自话，也没有在故弄玄虚，我只是在用最真切，最充实的感受描述着读书的乐趣。

我自幼酷爱读书。至今为止，什么四大名著，百家姓，三字经，唐诗宋词，诗经离骚，就算背也是绰绰有余。在读书这条无尽的银河中，我摘取了许多智慧，快乐的繁星，他们拨动着我的心弦，激荡着我跳动的书欲，让我一次又一次的坠入书海。每每看到一个精彩的情节，我便会不由自主的继续看到尾，就算把书翻烂了，也意犹未尽。它是促进我进取的一种动力!

读书让我明白很多前所未有的知识，也让我体会到一种莫名的感觉，他让我明白什么是虚怀若谷，什么事诚信谦和，让我明白人与人之间还有一种高境界。总而言之，三言两语说不清读书的好，道不明读书的乐。

一人，一书，一闹市。

午后的集市，仿佛炸开了锅，吆喝声、犬吠声、机械声……然而，却有一个小男孩，躲在集市的角落里，藏在喧嚣的留白中，手捧一册早已泛黄的书，全然忘却面前等待出售的瓜果蔬菜，把思绪尽情放飞在无尽的文字中。或许，他会在醉心痴迷中悄然吐露心声：阅读，真好。

时光的年轮在拼命转动，历史的主薄不断翻开新的的篇章。然而，岁月长河里的无数浪花，你都能在书中找到正所谓：书籍是人类进步的阶梯。我相信，在略读的同时，你定会“更上一层楼”。曾有这样一个小男孩，因家境贫寒，6岁就不得不下地干活。一次，他在村外放牛，傍晚都未归。他的父亲最后在一丛荔枝林里找到了正在聚精会神读书的他。正是阅读，让他忘却了时间；正是阅读，带他走进了知识的殿堂；正是阅读，给了他非凡的人生。他就是我国着名的科学家——候德榜。学会超然，以书为乐，或许你能获得心灵的轻盈与洁净，找到通向成功的金钥匙。当你学会坚持阅读时，你会发现生命的真谛。

南京市72岁的老人汪侠，即使年过古稀，依旧未冷却对学习、对阅读的炽热之心，并参加全国高考，园了“大学梦”。阅读是一种习惯，更是一种态度。正所谓，“活到老，学到老”，知识永无止境，而阅读就是一种自我完善的过程。一天阅读，得一日雨露恩泽，终生阅读，就能使一生时时流淌着甘甜的清泉，满溢着馥郁的芬芳。阅读，真好！

培根说：“读史使人明智，读诗使人灵秀，数学使人周密，科学使人深刻，伦理学使人庄重，逻辑修辞学使人善辩，凡有所学，皆成性格。”博览群书，广泛阅读，将为你带来海阔天空，任你自由翱翔。与其说这是一种爱好，不如说这是一种智慧。当你手执一卷，抛开一切去阅读时，或许你会默默感叹阅读，真好。我想，那就是阅读的全部意义。

[学生作文 阅读的意义

Memory is important for everyone in all ages. How to improve it? It is a

complex question. I have several suggestions. Firstly, have enough rest. Enough

sleep can make sure brain works normally, because when people sleep, their brain

and other organs also can rest. Enough rest can provide enough energy. Secondly,

keep always thinking. Do not get used to the current situation. Keeping thinking

when meets things can exercise brain. Thirdly, eat some healthy food that is

good for memory, such as, radish, cabbage and spinach. I think these are helpful

to improve memory.
