《青铜葵花》，一本由纯真的童年、无尽的痛苦写成的书，这是以青铜、葵花为主人公，讲述了一个土生土长的农村男孩和一个真真正正的城市女孩一起成长的历程。

成长，有欢乐、有悲伤，作品里写出了一种苦难，一个农村男孩的苦难;写出了大美，一个城市女孩的“美丽”;写挚爱，青铜葵花，一对兄妹相称、亲密无间的朋友。

苦难：青铜是一个农村男孩，而且他是一个哑巴。在葵花出现之前，他一直觉得世上只有自己最孤独，心里有一种莫名其妙的自卑感。孤独，是一种痛苦，

孤身一人，犹如一颗明星在漫漫长夜里不闻不问，一切都寂静的可怕，而在星空中，群星闪耀着光芒，一起在无忧无虑的生活中度过一个个美好的时光。声音哑了，十分痛苦，但这并不可怕，自己的毅力和信念不能丧失，只要通过自己的努力，什么困难都可以克服。

大美：葵花是一个城市女孩，在遇见青铜之后，变得越来越活泼，从前默默无言的她，现在已经变得十分乐观开朗，葵花爸爸是一个画家，很少离开自己宝贵的画室，因此葵花十分孤独，在后来，葵花也明白了爸爸的苦心，这也许就是大美。人外美之小美，人内美之大美，美之至极，是爱。大美，是能将心比心，谅解别人，宽容他人，人们在生活中，才能平平安安、受益终身。

挚爱：青铜葵花一起生活了几年，一起长大，一起玩耍，是一对亲密无间的朋友，虽然青铜在无声的世界里玩耍，就这样，都一起长大了……在葵花十二岁那年，葵花被召回了他的城市，青铜一直在芦荡边遥望尽头，遥望着葵花所在的城市……爱，是一种充满生机与情感的品质。这一对“兄妹”不亦乐乎，在割舍的时候，中间有一条分不开的绳子，这就是情谊，就是挚爱。在芦荡中，爱洒满了一切，那溪流就是流淌着的挚爱。

痛苦，让我们学会了坚强，青铜就是因为坚强，青铜就是因为坚强，才克服了自己哑巴的困难，最后才克服了自己，奇迹般地已经在不知不觉中降临了，现在的青铜竟然能自己说话了。

痛苦，带给人悲伤，带给人悲伤，但它能让人励志，只有你努力去征服了它，它才会让你受益终身。

How to be a good learner?

As a good learner， we should have good habits and ways of learning。

We need to get ready for our lessons before class and always listen carefully in class。 It’s good to study in groups and help each other。 We should do more reading in our free time。 If we have some problems， we’d better ask others for help。 As a student， working hard is important， but don’t forget to do sports and keep healthy。

I think all these above will be helpful to us。

I like to travel to different places, I can see the beautiful scenery and

get to know the different cultures. My friends and I always travel together, we

make many plans in advance. But the plans will always be interrupted by all

kinds of unexpected incidents, like the bad weather, the holiday being

cancelled, so we have to spend another time to wait for the trip. Traveling

alone can ignore these problems, I can go to travel whenever I want, I just need

to pick up my backpack, and then buy the ticket. It is so free, I don’t have to

wait for others, I can go to the places I want to. Traveling alone is good.

How tokeep healthy /fit?

All of us want to be healthy. First，we should get enough sleep during the

night. We can go to bed early and get up early. Staying up late is bad for our

health. Second，we musthave the right kinds of food. We should eat more fruit and

vegetables and less meat. We should drink a lot of water. We should have healthy

eating habits. Third，we should do more exercise to build up our bodies.

Finally，we should be happy everyday. Because smile will make us younger。

That is my advice.I hope you are healthy and enjoy your life。

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.

书是人们不可缺少的一部分，高尔基也曾经说过：“书是人类进步的阶梯。“

书，赋予我知识、赋予我智慧，看书是我了解到黄德甜老师所写的《语重心长》通过这本书，让我懂得了不少的人生哲理。

在我读完《语重心长》这本书后，我才发觉到书他是我们知识的一片海洋，能与书为友是最庆幸的事，在《语重心长》里，我读懂了里面的内容，是他让我明白了语重心长这几个字的理解，在生活中的我，仍然是要懂得尊重师长、尊重父母，他们的话，我们要听，因为他们的见识比我们多，所以，他们的学识、技能也比我们强;因为他们十分关爱我们，所以，他们才会反复叮嘱我们，我们千万不要自以为是，不要像一些人，在校不尊重师长、在家不尊重父母，而经常与师长、父母顶嘴，从不去想想，师长、父母是为了他好，只会心里埋怨自己的父母与师长，难免有时师长、父母是会说错批、评错你，那也要在适合的场所纠正，和必须等对方冷静下来，才和平地去谈判这件事情，而不要在对方还在气头上去顶撞他们，这样只会更加的让他们更怒气，只有心平气和、冷静才能解决问题，古句也有说国，君不闻“不听老人言，吃亏在眼前。”

As we all know the high school curriculum is becoming increasingly tight-scheduled and pressuring. Thus it is not a surprise that many school aged children are constantly stressed and worried. However it is important for them to relax from those stresses in order to achieve their academic potential.

The most beneficial and accessible way to relieve stress is through playing sport. It allows the students to have fun; increase their teamwork awareness and improve their health. Studies also show that students who exercise regularly are more likely to do well in school.

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.

这类题目主要包括事实识别、有关计算、识图、排列顺序等。一般地，这类题目可以直接从短文中找到可用的信息。这些问题一般都涉及到文章的“5W”，即 who(人物)，when(时间)，where(地点)， what(事件)，why(原因)，how(方式)等。题目设计大多直截了当。只要通读全文，注意文中所述的重要事实或细节，就可以做出正确解答。以图表材料命制的题目更是如此。例如：

03’年山东省烟台市“阅读理解”短文(D)中有下面这样一段话：

He/She should have an interest in making pizza. More importantly, he/she should have work experience in a restaurant.

针对这段文字，文后设有这样一道题：

The ad (广告) tells us that ____________________.

A. the assistant must be a man. B. the assistant must have once worked in a restaurant.

C. Pucci Pizza has branches all over China. D. Pucci Pizza is not in Taichung.

【分析】本小题选项B的意思是“要招聘的这个人必须曾在饭馆过”。即要具有一定的从事餐饮业的经验。这与原文中叙述的事实“More importantly, he/she should have work experience in restaurant.”相比较，形式上虽不大一样，但其内涵却完全相同。如果考生准确解了短文中的这句话，问题即可迎刃而解。

又如03’年广东省中考“阅读理解”短文(C)篇中有这样一句话：

In the past, there were forests all around Lake Ponkapog 初中英语, so the rainwater was clean.

短文后的题目是：

In the past Lake Ponkapog was surrounded by ________. A. fish B. rain C. birds D. forests

【分析】题目所要问的是“Lake Ponkapog四周过去被什么东西所环绕？” 而阅读材料中已用There be句型表达出了这层意思，句式不同，却有异曲同工之妙。

在社会发展的今天，越来越多的学生拥有手机，你赞成中学生使用手机吗?

赞成意见：1.现在是信息社会，手机是最快的信息交流的工具之一。2.应充分利用好手机。如偶遇突发事故，可立即拨打手机求助。3.可在每天学习之余利用手机游戏放松一下自己。4.只要正确使用好手机，紧跟时间并无过错，追求时尚可以理解，但学习是首要任务。

反对意见：1.学校已提供了公共电话，因此手机并不能带来更多的方便，而且花费较多。2.若课堂接听手机会影响上课。3.学生玩手机游戏或接发短信，将无法集中精力学习。

Nowadays mobile phones are becoming more and more popular among the middle school students. Some think it is good for students to bring a mobile phone. But some people do not think so. They think it is bad for students to bring a mobile phone. Because the students will use mobile phones to play games， sent text messages， watch movies， etc which will do harm to their study. And if a mobile phone ring in the class， the teacher and students would be disturbed.

In my opinion， we can bring mobile phones to school.As we know， the 21st century is a modern age and full of information. A mobile phone is one of the quickest tools for us to exchange information. The mobile phone is a fashionable and useful invention， so we ought to make the best use of it. Suppose there’s a sudden accident， it is more convenient for us to dial for help immediately. There’re also some games in the mobile phone. We can relax ourselves by playing them when we’re tired of our studies. In my opinion， it’s not wrong to follow the fashion， but the most important thing is how to use the mobile phone in a right way and do not disturbed others.

On the morning of June 1, the bright sunshine shone on the whole campus, making the provincial school more beautiful. In order to celebrate our childrens festival, the school specially held a colorful and interesting garden activity.

The activities of the garden include: fishing, shooting, blowing candles, shooting, guessing, beading, blind ball, shuttlecock, hula hoop, floating needle, playing table tennis... . Among them, I think the most interesting project is to blow the candle. The rule of the project is that if you blow out three or four candles, you can get a ticket. If you blow out five or six candles, you can get two tickets to the lottery.

When I came to the arena with gusto, more than 20 people were waiting in line, so I had to wait patiently at the back of the line. The procession moved slowly forward like water, hoping that it would be my turn to blink. At this time, some of the students blew out six candles in one breath, their faces with a complacent look.

I thought: air what, wait to see mine! Some students only blow out three or four candles in one breath; And classmates with great strength, small mouth bulging round, but doesnt even have a candle blow out, disappointed, they are unwilling, wanted to blow again, had to run to the back of the team continue to wait in line. Looking at their performance, my heart was both happy and nervous, and I was worried that I could not blow out one of them, and if that was the case, it would be too boring.

In a few minutes, and it was my turn to play, I hurried to put the candle stage, took a deep breath, and then quickly forward movement and the tone with the biggest power blowing the candles. "Wow," a marvel from my teachers and classmates, I looked back, "one, two, three, four, five" didnt expect me to blew out the candle and five I jumped with joy. The referees award gave me two tickets to the lottery. At this point, the students behind me were casting envious glances at me.

Later, I played a lot of projects and felt good. When the garden was over, I was sweating and my clothes were wet, but I was not tired at all. I wish I had "61" every day, and I would be so happy every day.

书是我一只美丽的小船。

在人生的海洋里，它载着我驶向许多奇妙的港口、岛屿，甚至是险峻的礁岩。

无论在丽日还是有风的天气里，我和它一起，在碧波或恶浪中行进。仿佛有只看不见的手，指点着那些像海市蜃楼一样的风光和人物；仿佛有个神奇的嘴，发出船底和波浪日夜荡出的水声，不停地给你讲生活中的哲理，幻想各种各样的现实。

我是一个酷爱阅读的女生，家里的书柜都摆满了书，我每天晚上没事的时候总会坐在床上看书。高尔基曾说过：我扑在书上就像饥饿的人扑在面包上。现在这句话已经成为人人知道的名言了。由此可见，书，是离不开我们的；书，可以让我们开阔视野，还可以让我们了解到更多的知识。

前几天，我刚刚看完了一本书，书的名字叫《鲁滨逊漂流记》一开始，我刚看了几次，就爱不释手了，恨不得不吃饭，不喝水，不睡觉，一天之内把这本书看完。可是，这是不可能的事……终于看完了，这本书教会了我们该怎么生存，要有顽强的毅力，碰到困难千万不能退缩的道理。

好书就像沙漠里的指南针，又像黑夜里的北极星，时时刻刻都默默的为人们导航，指引正确的方向。好书是益友，它着实让我获益匪浅，不仅仅使我开阔视野、能说会道，更是给了我做人的道理，学会了宽容。好书打磨我、塑造我、雕琢我。一路上的欢笑与悲伤，是它陪伴我，我爱读书，永远……

这是一只不会沉的船，风浪不会把它吞没，大火也不能把它烧光；这是一只不知疲倦的船，它一直航行下去，不寻求任何栖息的港湾。

在这只船上，我变得越来越清醒，我也变得越来越充实，而且和它一样，祈求更远更险的航行。

On September 12th, 2010, our school held a flag-raising ceremony on the playground with the theme “For your safety, for your life!”

Tang Shaofeng, on behalf of the students, made a speech. He said that safety concerns every one of us and hidden threat against safety was everywhere. We may easily get injured in sports or traffic accidents , or get sick from food poisoning. Therefore，we should pay more attention to safety and try to learn more about first aid. To sum up, we should take good care of ourselves for the sake of our familys happiness.

Later, our headmaster gave us some specific requirements. He said both teachers and students should attach special importance to school safety. Firstly, riding bicycles on campus is strongly prohibited. No ball games are allowed in the academic areas. We should keep to the right when going upstairs or downstairs. Besides, the windows must be closed and the doors must be locked when the last one leaves the classroom. Finally, we should always obey the traffic rules on our way home or to school.
