孙膑:身残志锐的智慧化身
【获奖名片】才志双全
【评价】
1.在艰难里,他从不放弃,用锐利的智慧打开一道道尘封的门,终于迎来了人生的道道曙光。庞涓的迫害止不住他才华的释放,膑脚之痛停不了他追求的脚步。孙膑,你的大智大勇,永远是激励我们前进的指明灯。
2.他是一把倚天巨剑,被历史的烈焰淬练过,被人世的无情锻造过,但是,只能让他越挫越勇。他用智慧的光芒,让我们中华文化有了围魏救赵的传奇。
【颁奖辞】
田忌赛马,围魏救赵,我们从成语中读你;身残志锐,胸罗兵甲,我们从历史中品你。你是一首无声的歌,流传千年仍气镇风云;你是一部无字的书,演绎着关于智慧的不老的传说。
【事迹】
孙膑是春秋时期战国著名军事家孙武的后代,早年曾与庞涓一起学习兵法。庞涓妒忌他比自己有才干,于是暗地里派人请孙膑来,设计陷害他。孙膑忍受被剜去膝盖骨的酷刑之苦,用才智感动了齐使,并在他的帮助下回到齐国。孙膑隐居在田忌幕下时就表现出突出的军事才能,后于“田忌赛马”后被田忌推荐给齐威王,成为齐国的军师。
后来,魏国攻打赵国。赵国危急,向齐国请求救援。齐威王想任命孙膑为将,孙膑婉言推辞说:“一个受过刑的人不能为将。”于是任命田忌为大将,任命孙膑做军师,让他在有帷幕的车上坐着出谋策划。在这场战役中,孙膑运用非凡的才智屡出妙计,最终使得魏军大败,创造了中国战争史上“围赵救魏”的光辉战例。后来孙膑又在魏国和赵国联合攻打韩国之时与庞涓斗智,使庞涓死于万箭中。孙膑因战出名,世世代代也相传他的兵法。

+ 加入清单金银潭,老武汉人都未必熟悉的一家传染病专科医院。这里,是最早集中收治不明肺炎患者的医院,是这场全民抗“疫”之战最早打响的地方,也是收治确诊患者和重症患者最多的医院。
2019年12月29日,金银潭医院转入首批7名新型冠状病毒感染的肺炎患者。在除夕夜驰援部队抵达之前,医院党委副书记、院长张定宇带领医院600多名医护人员,奋战在抗疫第一线,没有节假日,不分白天和黑夜,硬扛了二十多天,以实际行动书写了对党和人民的忠诚。
张定宇说,全院240多名党员,没有一个人迟疑、退缩,全部挺在急难险重岗位。“身为共产党员、医务工作者,非常时期、危急时刻,必须不忘初心、勇担使命,坚决顶上去!”
面对此次肺炎疫情,张院长的处理很“硬核”。但谁曾想到,平日里雷厉风行的院长在面对自己的身体时,也一样“硬核”。
2018年10月,张定宇被确诊为运动神经元病,也就是人们常说的“渐冻症”。张定宇一直对别人隐瞒自己的病情。不知情的同事们只是觉得,步履蹒跚的院长,性子越来越急了……
在接受《面对面》节目的采访时,张定宇表现出出人意料的乐观和坦然:“性子急,是因为生命留给我的时间不多了。必须跑得更快,才能跑赢时间,把重要的事情做完。”“人生的终点都是要面对死亡,这是一个很正常的事情。这只是突然有人告诉我,你的终点不可能走得太远,我就要把这个时间用多一点,用足一点。“
蓦然回首,原来这位从医33年的老党员,每当灾情关头,他始终一路披荆斩棘、初心未改:
2008年5月14日,四川汶川地震第三天,张定宇就带领湖北省第三医疗队出现在重灾区什邡市,全力抢救伤员。
1997年11月,张定宇曾响应国家号召,随中国医疗队出征,援助阿尔及利亚。
2011年除夕,张定宇作为湖北第一位“无国界医生”,在巴基斯坦西北的蒂默加拉医院度过了一个不寻常的中国年……
在这场史无前例的战役中,正是有成千上万个像张定宇这样的白衣战士,他们燃烧自己的生命,为我们带来了无尽的光明和希望;他们坚守阵地、鏖战病毒,让我们看到了胜利的前景和曙光!
他们是真正的勇士,是民族的脊梁。为抗疫一线中的英雄点赞!向新时代最可爱的人致敬!

岳飞经过战争的磨练,成为了优秀的统帅。他所带领的岳家军百战百胜,所向披靡,在抗金过程中做出了巨大贡献。岳飞在与金国抗战中,收回了许多失地,正在他胜利在望,准备收复中原时,朝廷连下数道圣旨,命令岳飞班师回朝。

孔_姐姐几乎具备一名优秀学生的所有优点。我最敬佩的是她的学习,她学习好,不管是奥数、电脑、作文还是其它方面,她每一科都很优秀,并且还很会说话。她很爱学习,她也在上十二中,她是数学特长班的学生,所以她对数学特别有兴趣。初中每天都会留很多作业,但她还是坚持每天做一些奥数,经常是晚上十一二点才睡觉,早上还得早起,特别累。
我还以为是她父母硬要求她做的,后来得知是自己要求做的。我就明白了,孔_前就说过觉得做题是一种乐趣,能够多做题也是对自己本身知识的提升,虽然累点,但收获多呀。
如此,她学习还很认真,她过生日那天,说好了上午让我们几个小伙伴等她电话,然后到她家去玩。没想到等到下午两点钟电话响都没响。不会是我们家电话坏了吧,于是我给她们加打电话,原来,孔凯_在上午十点钟打电话前,给自己布置了一些题,没想到题有些难,想把题写完了再玩,没想到一写就……虽然害得我们白等了一个上午,但我也看到了她的认真,不得不敬佩她。
孔_的心胸特别开阔,对朋友特别宽容。有一次,她向我借了一些钱,很久都没还,我着急了却老是找不着她人,以为她想赖帐,于是就在她背后说她的坏话。后来,朋友告诉我,这事传到了孔_薇的耳朵里,这下完了,她今后肯定不会理我了。果然,过了好几天了,她都没给我打电话,我一个人呆在家里好闷,想出去玩害怕出去不小心遇到她,她当街说起我来,那多没面子。所以我还是在家里待着,这时,我突然收到了孔_薇的电话,要我出来和她见一面。
面前,我还以为她一定会说我呢,没想到一见面,她倒先说了一句“对不起”,还把钱一分不少的还给了我,我当时就愣在那了。我问:“那我在背后说你坏话的事呢?”她看我这样说,赶忙拉起我的手说:“过都过去了,走玩去吧”说着拉着我的手就向球场跑去。此后,我再也不说她坏话了,我对朋友也变得宽宏大量了起来。
她值得敬佩的地方还有很多很多,守信用、大方、助人为乐……人生之中能够交到这么好的朋友很不容易,我会好好珍惜这份友谊,并且我也会以她为榜样、向她学习的。

+ 加入清单Recently, we often show that shopping online is better than in store, but
is this really the case? Actually, there is no consensus of opinions among
people as to the view of shopping online is better than traditional shopping.
Some people consider that online shopping will replace the mall shopping, stores
will disappear in the future, while others argue that stores would unlikely to
be disappeared, it has its own advantages.
Most people shopping online because it is very convenient, there is no need
to go out, just click the mouse gently, they can buy the goods they want. In
addition, goods online are cheaper than entity shop that buyers can save a lot
of money. But even the coin has two sides. Online shopping also has advantages
and disadvantages. In recent years, we see a lot of news about online cheating,

However, the situation above is rare in traditional shopping store, because
the guest can communicate with the seller face to face. Buyers can also see
goods intuitively. But the traditional shopping does not convenience as well as
online shopping, for example, if people meet a traffic jam on the way to the
shopping which will affect the happy mood of shopping.
篇19:以诚信为主题高一英语
全文共 1994 字
+ 加入清单My grandparents believed you were either honest or you werent. There was
no in between. They had a simple motto hanging on their living-room wall: "Life
is like a field of newly fallen snow; where I choose to walk every step will
show. "They didnt have to talk about it--they demonstratedthe motto by the way
they lived. They understood instinctively that integrity means having a personal
standard of morality and ethics that does not sell out to expediency and that is
not relative to the situation at hand. Integrity is an inner standard for
judging your behavior.Unfortunately, integrity is in short supply today--and
getting scarcer. But it is the real bottom line in every area of society.And it
is something we must demand of ourselves.
A good test for this value is to look at what I call the Integrity Trial,
which consists of three key principles: Stand firmly for your convictions in the
face of personal pressure.
When you know youre right, you cant back down. Always give others credit
that is rightfully theirs. Dont be afraid of those who might have a better idea
or who might even be smarter than you are. Be honest and open about who you
really are. People who lack genuine core values rely on external factors--their
looks or status---in order to feel good about themselves. Inevitably they will
do everything they can to preserve this facade,but they will do very little to
develop their inner value and personal growth.
So be yourself. Dont engage in a personal cover-up of areas that are
unpleasing in your life. When its tough, do it tough. In other words, face
reality and be adult in your responses to lifes challenges.
Self-respect and a clear conscience are powerful components of integrity
and are the basis for enriching your relationships with others.
Integrity means you do what you do because its right and not just
fashionable or politically correct. A life of principle, of not succumbing to
the seductive sirens of an easy morality,will always win the day. My
grandparents taught me that.
