高一英语作文：活到老学到老精彩20篇

放暑假后，我与奶奶来到向往已久的九朝古都、天下牡丹胜地――洛阳旅游。

作为一个河南人，应该知道洛阳的美丽景色绝不亚于省会郑州的美景。特别是洛阳的牡丹花，古人有诗云“洛阳牡丹甲天下”，这又更增加了洛阳作为世界历史文化名城的独特之处。我和奶奶随着旅游团刚来到牡丹园门口，就被牡丹那独特的花香给陶醉的心旷神怡。我们一个一个呆呆地站在那里，一动不动，只顾自己独自感受百花之王――牡丹给人带来的特殊的韵味和意趣。直到别人连续地叫我们好几声，我们才缓过神来，恋恋不舍的离开了自己深深喜爱的牡丹，转而向其它的名胜走去。洛阳的历史古迹和文化古迹更是数不可数。古老的护城河与现代化的大理石桥和谐地互相映衬着，更在这个动人的城市上平添了许多妩媚。远处，洛河水正在湍急地流淌着，给人以强烈的震撼感。请大家试想一下，当一个人置身于浩大的江水之中时，此人与大自然相比起来是多么的渺小啊!对于大自然的伟大，他又怎能不感到震撼呢?

洛阳，一个古老的城市与一个现代化的城市多么微妙地结合在一起的产物。在万千城市中，这个动人的城市是那么的自然与和谐，又是那么的平凡，但又是那样的不凡。来到龙门石窟和白马寺的里面，我深切地感受到了古代劳动人民的智慧。从洛阳的一砖一瓦中可以看出，洛阳这座现代化的大城市是充分地把过去的古朴、典雅与庄重和现代化的繁荣巧妙地结合在了一起。

洛阳这座城市是顽强的，洛阳的人民也是十分顽强的。这从洛阳的景物中就可以看得出来。那长在石墙边的小草是那样的顽强不屈，像是在与大自然进行殊死搏斗。心灵手巧的园艺师将洛阳市内的花花草草、各种树木、鹅卵石铺成的小径巧妙地搭配在了一起，构成种.种动物的图象。河边浓绿的树木婀娜多姿的随风摆动着，那种美景给人的感觉不仅是大自然的味道，还给人一种“天人合一”的自然感觉

偶尔看到一个现代建的古代风格的建筑物，引发了心中的无限遐想，更在心里赞叹洛阳人的睿智。不一会儿，跟随旅游团来到了一个花园。平坦的小径旁边，红、白色的花交相辉映。在一个茂密的丛林下，有一个小湖。湖里长满了荷花、芦苇，偶尔还能看见一只野鸭子从湖里伸出头来，左瞅瞅，右望望，机警地望望四周，然后又下去进行它的逮捕行动了。在湖边的浅水区内，有几个五、六岁的孩童在大人们的监护下，捕鱼戏水，好一派迷人的景象，真令人赞叹!

啊!美丽的洛阳啊!我永远爱您!

this morning i got up early and went to the market to buy some vegetables instead my mother for the first time.

the market was very crowded and busy with nearly all kinds of goods on display. some sellers were shouting at the top of their voice to attract the attention of the people. housewives were picking out vegetables and bargaining with the sellers. a man was selling fresh fish, which were swimming in a big basin, and a lot of buyers crowded around it and chose what they wanted. one fruit seller, standing behind piles of fresh fruit, greeted me warmly, trying to persuade me to buy some. he felt a little disappointed when i shook my head.

“鸢飞戾天，鱼跃于渊”。只有打开眼前促狭的窗户，你才能欣赏远处的美景;只有跃出阴暗的井底，你才能拥抱广阔的蓝天;只有踮起脚尖，你才能收获人间的四月天。只有提高眼界，才能如鸢直冲高空，才能如鱼跃于深渊。

眼界是见识的多少、胸怀的大小、志向的高低。

提高眼界需要拒绝平庸，心怀大志。曾记否，2000年前，陈涉仰天长叹：“燕雀安知鸿鹄之志。”他不愿以氓隶之民为伍，他敢于向九五之尊挑衅。他斩木为兵，揭竿为旗，振臂长呼：“王侯将相宁有种乎?”他领兵数万，直逼咸阳，何等气概，壮哉。曾记否，曹操当年登临高山，直临沧海，睥睨苍生道：“日月之行，若出其中;星汉灿烂，若出其里。”是何等壮志凌云。曾记否，周恩来曾扪心而发：“为中华之崛起而读书。”又是何等的气魄，令人自惭形秽。正是因为他们胸怀丘壑，心有天下，拒绝平庸，眼界开阔，才使得他们短暂的生命重如泰山，才使得他们成为历史滚滚长河中璀璨的明星。

提高眼界需要执著梦想、勇于追求。曾经年少爱追梦，一心只想往前飞。寻梦的旅途是对心性的磨炼、是对理想的追逐，也是对眼界的提高。热血青年骑行西藏，去寻求一方心灵的净土。一路上也许有苦有泪，但也得到了旅途的收获、心灵的救赎、眼界的提高。北漂青年独自到京城闯荡，蜗居于几平方米的平房中，流连于皇城根下。也许你会问：值得吗?但他们会回答你：我努力过，我收获了，我不后悔。是的，也许在这追梦的路上，我们不一定能收获梦想，但至少我们开阔了眼界。

提高眼界需加大积累，身体力行。王维说：“欲穷千里目，更上一层楼。”试问如果没有过硬的积累、学识的积淀，我们的目光又怎能长远、眼界又怎能开阔呢?然而光有积累不行，陆游曾教导儿子道：“纸上得来终觉浅，绝知此事要躬行。”读万卷书，不如行万里路。否则只能落得赵括纸上谈兵的下场。

“老当益壮，宁移白首之心?穷且益坚，不坠青云之志”。让我们拒绝平庸，踮起脚尖，立下凌云之志，铸就开阔的视野。“没有比脚更长的路，没有比人更高的山”。让我们冲破枷锁，踏遍荆棘，执著梦想，在寻梦中扩充视野，在实践中提高眼界。

眼界——让我们划开那一道限制的“界限”，用你的眼睛去探寻更为广阔的蓝天。

春天是万物复苏的季节，让我们跟上春天的步伐，带上欢快的心情去觅春吧!谈到春，我首先想到的花应是——迎春花了!

“迎春花”顾名思义就是在春天开放的花朵。迎春花是淡黄色的，五片小小的花瓣包裹着美丽的花蕊。说真的，我不太喜欢迎春花，因为它的颜色实在是有点耀眼，远远的都可以看见。仿佛，只要看到它就能感受到春天那朝气蓬勃的气息。

小区里的柳树开出了柳絮，槐树也开出了槐花，还有几颗桃树也开出了艳丽的粉面桃花。

风，柔柔的吹;枝头，悠悠的闪;明媚的春阳，洒在身上，暖在心里。

春天夹在寒冷的冬天与炎热的夏天中，因此春天的天气就不算太好了，也因此，我不太喜欢春天。但在春天，有温柔的暖风拂在脸际，有姹紫嫣红的花朵竞相开放，还有一簇簇醉人的嫩绿在不停的闪烁。尽管现在仍有些春寒料峭，然而整个世界却躁动欢腾起来了。

走在小路旁，发现了许多绿的东西。例如：有万年青的嫩芽，有小花坛中的花的小嫩芽，还有一些不知名的花草也长出了绿叶。

有时，我对自己发问：“有没有一个永恒的春天?”但许多事物都告诉我：“没有!”是啊!没有永恒的春天，但却有一颗永远像春天一样的朝气蓬勃的心。尽管春姑娘的脚步匆匆，尽管它将希望撒向人间，却谁也留不住它，但年轻的心却会永远常驻在心里。

走在小路上，欣赏着春天的盎然生机。那一丛丛的绿色在跳动，心情也越来越好!在春天，它孕育了无数的希望，它将希望的种子播种在人间。

春天是美好的，但美好的事物总遭人们的嫉妒!

地球在年复一年的转着，春天也在一次次的来临，这算不算一次永恒呢?尽管它不是永远的存在，但却也令人感觉到那永恒的经典。春天在每一年都会出现，而每一天都会有新的起点，或许每一天的起点都不同，但只要有春天那样的生机，何愁自己不会到达终点。

在春天我有了一个希望，我相信，那枚希望的种子，会茁壮成长，最终长成一棵参天大树，一棵永远年轻的参天大树……

i was thirty-seven then, strapped in my seat as the huge 747 plunged through dense cloud cover on approach to the hamburg airport. cold november rains drenched the earth and lent everything the gloomy air of a flemish landscape: the ground crew ran gear, a flag atop a squat airport building, a bmw billboard. so germany again.

37岁的我端坐在波音747客机上，庞大的机体穿过厚重的夹雨云层，俯身向汉堡机场降落。11月砭人肌肤的冷雨将大地涂得一片阴沉，使得身披雨衣的地勤工、呆然垂向地面的候机楼上的旗，以及bmw广告板等的一切的一切，看上去竟同佛兰德派抑郁画幅的背景一般。罢了罢了，又是德国，我想。

once the plane was on the ground soft music began to flow from the ceiling speakers: a sweet orchestral cover version of the beatles " norwegian wood". the melody never failed to send a shudder through me, but this time it hit me harder than ever.

飞机刚一着陆，天花板扩音器中低声传出轻柔的背景音乐，那是一个管弦乐队演奏的甲壳虫乐队的《挪威的森林》。那旋律一如往日地使我难以自已。这一次，比往日还要强烈地摇撼着我的身心。

i bent forward in my seat, face in hands to keep my skull from splitting open. before long one of the german stewardesses approached and asked in english if i was sick. "no," i said, just dizzy"

为了不使头脑胀裂，我弯下腰，双手捂脸。很快，一位德国空中小姐走来，用英语问我是不是不大舒服。我答说："不要紧，只是有点晕。

"are you sure?"

"yes, im sure. thanks."

"真的不要紧?"

"不要紧的，谢谢。"我说。

she smiled and left, and the music changed to a billy joel tune. i straightened up and looked out the plane window at the dark clouds hanging over the north sea, thinking of what i had lost in the course of my life: times gone forever, friends who had died or disappeared, feelings i would never know again.

她于是莞尔一笑，转身走开。音乐变成彼利·乔的曲子。我直起了腰，望着北海上空阴沉沉的云层，浮想联翩。我想起自己在过去人生旅途中失去的许多东西——蹉跎的岁月，死去或离去的人们无可追回的懊悔。

the plane reached the gate. people began unlatching their seatbelts and pulling baggage from the storage bins, and all the while i was in the meadow. i could smell the grass, feel the wind on my face, hear the cries of the birds. autumn 1969,and soon i wou1d be twenty.

机身停稳后，旅客解开安全带，从行李架中取出皮包和上衣等物。而我，仿佛依然置身于那片草地之中，呼吸着草的芬芳，感受着风的轻柔，谛听着鸟的鸣啭。那还是1969年的秋天，我快满20岁的时候。

…

true, given time enough, i can bring back her face. i start joining image-her tiny, cold hand; her straight, black hair so smooth and cool to the touch; a soft, rounded earlobe and the microscopic mole just beneath it; the camels hair coat she wore in the winter; her habit of looking straight into your eyes when asking a question; the slight trembling that would come to her voice now and then (as if she were speaking on a windy hilltop)-and suddenly her face is there, always in profile at first, because naoko and i were always out waking together, side by side. then she turns to me, and smiles, and tilts her head just a bit, and begins to speak, and she looks into my eyes as if trying to catch the image of a minnow that has darted across the pool of a m1impid spring.

当然，只要有时间，我会忆起她的面容。我追忆着：那冷冰冰的小手，那流线型泻下的手感爽适的秀发，那圆圆的软软的耳垂及其紧靠底端的小小黑痔，那冬日里时常穿的格调高雅的驼绒大衣，那总是定定注视对方眼睛发问的惯常动作，那不时奇妙发出的微微颤抖的语声(就像在强风中的山岗上说话一样)—随着这些印象的叠涌，她的面庞突然自然地浮现出来。最先出现是她的侧脸，大概因为我总是同她并肩走路的缘故，最先想起来的每每是她的侧影。随之，她朝我转过脸，甜甜地一笑，微微地低头，轻轻地启齿，定定地看着我的双眼，仿佛在一混清澈的泉水里寻觅稍纵即逝的小鱼的行踪。

i do need that time, though for naokos face to appear. and as the years have passed, the time has grown longer. the sad truth is that what i could recall in five seconds all too soon needed ten, then thirty, then a full minute——like shadows lengthening at dusk. someday, i suppose, the shadows will be swallowed up in darkness. there is no way around it: my memory is growing ever more distant from the spot where naoko used to stand-ever more distant from the spot where my old self used to stand. and nothing but scenery, that view of the meadow in october, returns again and again to me 1ike a symbolic scene in a movie. each time it appears, it delivers a kick to some part of my mind. "wale up," it says. "i’m still here! wake up and think about it. think about why im still here." the kicking never hurt me. theres no pain at all. just a hollow sound that echoes with each kick. and even that is bound to fade one day. at the hamburg airport, though, the kicks were longer and harder than usual which is why i am writing this book: to think. to understand! it just happens to be the way im made. i have to write things down to feel i fully comprehend them.

但是，让直子的面影在我脑海中浮现出来，我总是需要一点时间。而且，随着岁月的流逝，所需的时间愈来愈长。这固然令人悲哀，但事实就是如此。起初5秒即可想起，渐次变成10秒、30秒、1分钟。它延长得那样迅速，竟同夕阳下的阴影一般，并将很快消融在冥冥夜色之中。哦，原来我的记忆正在同直子原来站立的位置步步远离，甚至逐渐远离自己一度站过的位置。而惟独风景，惟独那片10月草地的风景，宛如电影中的象征性镜头，在我的脑际反复推出。并且那风景执着地连连踢我的脑袋，说着："起来，我可还在这里哟!起来，起来想想，思考一下我为什么还在这里。"不过这种踢法一点也不痛，一脚踢来，只是发出空洞的声响。甚至这声响或迟或早也将杳然远逝。但是在这汉堡机场，它们踢得比往常更长久、更有力：起来，理解我!惟其如此，我才动笔写这篇文字。我必须形诸文字，才能弄得水落石出。

今天中午，奶奶炒辣椒，从厨房里散发出的阵阵烟雾，让我不禁用手捂住了口鼻，可那烟雾偏偏灵活地蹿入口鼻中……我终于憋不住了，被呛得大声咳了起来，这一咳勾起了我几年前的一段经历。

20--年，我们全家人回了趟奶奶家的老家——重庆，重庆人爱吃辣是众所周知的。在重庆的那几天，不是在吃辣就是走在吃辣的路上。厨房永远是一个危险区域，那可不是一般人能承受住的。辣椒一下锅，我和妈妈便找各种理由逃出去;弟弟就拿个手机，跑到厕所里避一会儿，听见“吃饭了”又跑出来;爸爸还是比较能忍的，但只能忍一会，不大一会，便打开窗户，拼命地呼吸外面的空气。看见奶奶和重庆的亲戚聊的热火朝天，那让我们恐惧的浓烟，在他们眼中，仿佛只是我们平常所呼吸的空气。

要说最难忘的，还不是那飘满整屋的辣味，而是重庆那令人惊悚的道路。真可谓是‘山路十八弯’呀!车一会上坡，一会又下来，一会来一个极速漂移，一会又缓慢行驶，真让人摸不着头脑。弟弟觉得刺激，大声喊到：“坐过山车喽!坐过山车喽!”我紧紧的拉住妈妈，闭上眼睛，慢慢地等待车经过一道一道的弯，一座一座的坡。要不怎么说那里的人长寿呢，我80多岁的老姥姥爬山时，都比我们强。应该是平常走这样山路锻炼出来的吧，平原上的我们还真是自叹弗如。

去一趟重庆，怎么能不吃一顿火锅呢?火锅的辣不用我多说了，但火锅的“小助理”你知道是什么吗?那就是花生牛奶，每次吃火锅总是会习惯性的点花生牛奶，难道他们那只有花生牛奶?因为在重庆那几天，我就没喝过别的。还有一种食物，叫做“抄手”，你吃过没有?一开始，我疑惑极了，抄手是啥?别说吃过了，我连听说都没听说过。后来我才知道，抄手原来就是我们这边的馄饨，只不过叫法不一样。

短短的几天行程很快结束了，我们一行人坐在火车上，望着窗外优美的景色，恋恋不舍的离开了奶奶的家乡。

辣味飘香、山路十八弯、美食美景——重庆的探亲之旅，绝对是我最难忘的。

冬霖如同银屑般恣意飞舞，寒风呼啸，玻璃窗上蒙上一层水雾。我用手擦去，窗外，是城市令人讨厌的灰暗色的冬。

社会经济极速发展，带来的，不只是高昂的经济效益，还有严重的污染。在这城市里，哪里还有我喜欢的色彩?剩下的，只有雾霾的灰暗。

透过时光的毛玻璃看向曾经，模糊中，有清晰的老屋的身影。童年的老屋，有我所喜欢的颜色。

推开斑驳的不知道油漆了多少次的铁质大门，院子里一切安好。青砖红瓦筑起的墙上，鱼鳞瓦沟之间，青苔自然地生长着。院子里的地板，是用一块块大石铺砌的，雨水冲蚀过后，细纹密布，好像老太额头上的鱼尾纹，可是踏上之后，却分外踏实。两边还摆放着以前用过的煤炉，地上隐隐还有黑色的星星点点的煤灰。这些，是回忆，更是我喜欢的老屋的色彩。

想起孩童时光，外婆骑着粉红的凤凰自行车接我从幼儿园放学。我坐在自行车后的红色的儿童椅上，发着呆。回家的小巷之中，道路十分不平整。我坐在儿童椅里，紧抓扶手生怕自己掉下来。因此，外婆总是说我太谨小慎微，不够大气，我哪里懂这些东西，就只是抓紧扶手，在夕阳之中，在家家户户的屋檐之下，或是回忆今天在幼儿园发生的新鲜事儿，或是期待着早些回到老屋，回到那些我喜欢的色彩身边。

此时家里，总是早已摆好了丰盛的晚餐，美味放满桌面，香气充盈房间。匆匆洗完手，端坐在我的小板凳上，一家人整整齐齐，围坐在桌边。饭后，又回到小院，大人们娱乐消食，打打牌，享受夜晚美丽的色彩。我坐在外婆腿上，昏昏欲睡，听着外婆轻声的吟唱：“夜光光，月光光，伴随我家娃娃郎。”我悄然睡去，那些我喜欢的色彩又在我的梦中浮现。

如今，老屋在繁华中隐世，我也有了城市里的新居，却总不如老屋住的愉快，不知从何开始，老屋也成为了我的家人，成为了我喜欢的色彩。

Scientists

believe an animal source is "the most likely primary source" but that some

human-to-human transmission has occurred.

科学家认为动物是“最有可能的初始感染源”，不过，也有一些人传人的病例。

Signs

of infection include respiratory symptoms, fever, cough, shortness of breath and

breathing difficulties.

感染症状包括：呼吸道症状，发烧，咳嗽，呼吸短促，呼吸困难等。

2019-nCoV,

as its been labelled, is understood to be a new strain of coronavirus that has

not previously been identified in humans.

这种新型冠状病毒(2019-nCoV)此前未在人类身上发现过。

我们唯有不断认识自己，完善自己，才能更好的去适应这个竞争日趋激烈的社会。不过怎样才能更好地认识自己呢?这便需要我们不断深入剖析自己的内心，直面不足之处，克服自身的不足，最终达到完善自己的目的。

认识自己，实际上是一个不断挖掘心灵的过程。这期间，我们与灵魂展开了深入的交谈，不断了解自身的专长和缺陷，我们人从刚一出生开始，目光便只局限于外在世界，很少拷问自己的心灵，以至犯了过错之后，我们总习惯于寻找客观原因，而忽视了一点：造成错误的根源往往潜藏在灵魂的最深处。

挫折是无穷无尽的，每一个人能在挫折中学到的东西又是极其有限的，而社会又在不断地发展。所以我们不想自己落后于人，便唯有从自己出发，寻找存在的瑕疵，以求获得很小的提升，并使之成为战胜竞争者的最后一根稻草。而相比之下，有些人自知不为十全十美，却没有勇气正视自己的内心，当他的双脚踏足肉体与灵魂的交界处时，便急不可待地缩回，生怕逾越那道雷池。这种人在最后一定会被社会淘汰，湮没于历史，所以，认识自己是十分必要的。

我们最需要的，是无与伦比的勇气，那是一种“明知山有虎，偏向虎山行”的气概。在自我剖析的过程中，我们的心灵被一层层地剥开，其中可能隐藏着连我们自己都不曾发觉的晦暗与阴霾。这时，无畏的勇气便会化作盾牌，保护我们继续向前。

有时，我们也需要适当地听取别人的意见。“当局者迷，旁观者清”，当我们自我陶醉时，他人可能早已看出了我们的不足。我们所要做的，便是虚心向他们请教。古时，齐王听取了邹忌的意见，广纳善言，认识到了自己的不足并加以改正，最终成就了万国来朝的场面。换作我们，为何不能在今天高速发展的社会上做一回齐王，同样也成就最完美的自己呢?

其实这很简单，我们只需不断重复对心灵的剖析，使之成为一种习惯，认识自己自然变得水到渠成。

所以，不断从各个层面重新审视自身，把灵魂两侧的两个并不完美的自己结合在一起，就可以说是战胜了原先的自己，成了最完美的那个。

我喜欢打篮球，因为篮球的世界里充满了许多乐趣，尤其是看到职业篮赛中，球员们矫健的身手、完美的投篮技巧、超震撼的灌篮，和那挥汗时所显现的男子气概，让我深深着迷，因此“篮球”便成为我最喜爱的运动。

一开始，打篮球只是我和哥哥一起玩耍、打发时间的游戏罢了，但是，看到哥哥跳跃、转身投篮“进!”，那一刹那，让我不由自主的也热血沸腾兴奋起来，于是我跟随哥哥的脚步，一步一步踏入篮球的世界。

一有时间我就往球场冲，看到身手好的同学，立即互相切磋讨教，渐渐，篮球变成我生命中重要的一环，我不但天天练习，还从杂志上寻找相关资讯，更会从电视转播的职业篮赛上仔细观察，拼命学习选手们的高超技巧，想办法实际演练，模仿他们的动作。这一连串的努力，虽然会牺牲我许多玩耍、读书、休闲的时间，更因为太入迷而被父母下达禁止令，但是我仍然甘之如饴，一点都不后悔。希望有朝一日能够具备好技术、好身手，能在球场上尽情挥洒。

虽然到目前为止，我还算不上是篮球高手，离选手的距离也很远，但是我会持续不断的加强锻炼自己，增加体力和耐力，多练习、不气馁、不半途而废，最后一定能够得到父母的认同、同学的爱戴，为自己带来荣耀吧!

总之，“篮球”一直是我的最爱，从哥哥领我入门后，多年来这个爱好未曾动摇过。虽然，未来是不可预测的，但是我仍会以无比的信心和决心，来拥抱这个希望无穷的将来。

if i were a boy again, i would practice perseverance more often, and never give up a thing because it was or inconvenient. if we want light, we must conquer darkness. perseverance can sometimes equal genius in its results. “there are only two creatures,” says a proverb, “who can surmount the pyramids—the eagle and the snail.”

if i were a boy again, i would school myself into a habit of attention; i would let nothing come between me and the subject in hand. i would remember that a good skater never tries to skate in two directions at once.the habit of attention becomes part of our life, if we begin early enough. i often hear grown up people say “ i could not fix my attention on the sermon or book, although i wished to do so” , and the reason is, the habit was not formed in youth.

if i were to live my life over again, i would pay more attention to the cultivation of the memory. i would strengthen that faculty by every possible means, and on every possible occasion. it takes a little hard work at first to remember things accurately; but memory soon helps itself, and gives very little trouble. it only needs early cultivation to become a power.

I think I will be a teacher in the future, because I like to stay with children.

我觉得将来我会成为一名教师，因为我喜欢和孩子们待在一起。

Ill live in shanghai because I went to shanghai last summer and fell in love with it.

我会住在上海，因为我去年夏天去上海的时候就爱上了它。

I think its really a beautiful city.

我真的觉得那是一个美丽的城市。

As a teacher, Ill try my best to teach my students well and tell them how to be a useful person.

作为一名老师，我会尽力教好我的学生并告诉他们如何做一个有用的人。

In my free time, Ill listen to music, pop songs and go shopping with my friends, Sometimes Ill keep pets-maybe a colorful bird.

在我的空闲时间，我会听音乐，流行歌曲，和我的朋友去购物，有时候我会养宠物，也许会是一只色彩鲜艳的鸟。

It makes me happy.

它能让我开心。

During the summer holiday, Ill go to Italy on vacation.

暑假的时候我会去意大利度假。

I hear that its a great place to have fun.

我听说那里是去玩的好地方。

When I was very small, I lived in my hometown. My grandparents raised two

dogs, and I liked them very much. I watched them grow up from the little animals

to the big dogs. Every time when I leaved home for school, they would follow me

for some distance. When I walked a little far away, they would turn home. When I

went home after school, they would wait for me in the door and swayed their

tails. I knew they were welcoming me home. They were like my family members and

I learned that animals are part of our nature. We should protect them. We can

create a harmonious society.

Every person needs sleep everyday. But with the high development of

society, most people have more and more things to do and have less time to

sleep. As a result, many people are lack of sleep. For a short time, they may

not realize the bad side of it, but it will bring something bad for them after a

long term. First of all, lack of sleep will do harm to people’s look. If they do

not sleep enough, they will get black eyes and bad skin easily, which will make

people look no so beautiful. Secondly, lack of sleep is bad for the spiritual

outlook. A person who lacking of sleep always looks tired and has no power to do

things. Last, not enough sleep for a long time will have bad influence of

thought. They always can’t be active in mind.

看，一株蒲公英在天地之间飞翔，而它带着梦想与希望，乘着风的列车，在一望无际的天空中，飘啊飘，它们飘不到尽头。因为他们有着无限的追求，他们为梦想而飞。

“采菊东篱下，悠然见南山”陶渊明找到闲适淡雅后，挥舞神笔写下了这句诗;而王维因为找到了精神的归宿写下一句“明月松间照，清泉石上流”;瞧，是谁在那荷塘月色之下走来走去?哦，是朱自清在荷塘月色下找到了片刻的宁静与欢愉。对，这些都是他们的梦。是他们努力寻找到的梦。

我也有梦，而我的梦不是努力之中再加认真而找到的。我喜好睁大眼睛，仰起头，望那蓝天，因为蓝天有许许多多的梦，每个梦都是真的，有一个就是我的梦。

望着笼子里那向往自由的鸟儿。它努力的点头，尽着自己吃奶的劲儿拍打着翅膀。“你怎么了?”我怀着好奇心问它。“你是想飞到大自然中自由自在的生活吗?也难怪，大自然中有花的芳香，碧绿的草原，就连风都是柔柔的，如果我是你，我也不愿意待在这种面积超小的笼子里。”

越看越久，越看越久，我的心灵被它那向往远方，向往自由的精神而颤动，而流泪。望，那天空中的大雁是多么向往远方，向往自由，它们实现了自己的梦想，飞得极快，天空中虽然没有留下翅膀的痕迹，但他们的确飞过这里，你说对吗?我斌不用知道它们要到哪里，因为他们向往远方，一定不愿意让别人知道要飞到哪里去。

啊!我再也忍不住看到你这样了。因为我希望你也能像大雁一样，自由自在的去生活。我来到笼子面前，打开笼子把你放飞到大自然，你是那么着急，有那么兴奋，一声“谢谢”也不对我说，就飞走了，不过，没关系我做了一件好事，我让你得到了自己想得到的自己，我让你回到了真正的家——大自然。我好像听到了你发自内心的笑。

如果每一个人真的只能拥有一个梦，那么，我希望，在梦中我能奔跑在远方的草原上。因为我，向往远方。

草原上的一匹匹骏马，希望没有缰绳的干扰，自由自在地奔跑在碧绿的草原上。实现它的草原梦;山谷中的一道道小溪，希望没有岩石的阻挡，能自由地流向一望无际的大海中，实现它的大海梦;天空中的一朵朵白云，希望没有风的打扰，能自由地独占蓝天，实现它的蓝天梦。

我，宁愿自己没有一个舒适的家，也希望能自由地奔跑在远方的草原上，追求着自己想实现的自由梦。因为自由在远方。

那株追求自由的蒲公英，乘着风的列车，越飘越远，飞过了千山万水，历尽了千难万险，但它并不会放弃，它向往远方。因为梦，在远方。

What’s the purpose of life ? What are we seeking for in our short lives ? For privilege,for money ,or just for enjoyment ? It’s the problem that everyone wants to explore. As a matter of fact , everybody needs a proper purpose in order to struggle against life . A clear purpose not only guides us but also gives us hope and energy . When unknown challenges stop our steps toward the dream, our purpose will help us overcome the difficulties . Because of purpose and our efforts , we become useful for the world . Those who travel in life without direction sometimes turn confused and even lose their confidence . Considering the benefits of living a life of purpose , we seem to should establish our purpose as soon as possible . But we need to be careful to choose the purpose that will be suitable enough for ourselves .In my opinion ,the purpose of life must include two necessary aspects——Work and Love . Work is the basic purpose of our life . As a youngster,you are supposed to try your best to find the job which you love from the bottom of your heart. Then you may dedicate yourself to it with all your enthusiasm. Charles Moyers explains these :“Make sure the thing you’re living for is worth dying for . ”

On the other hand , only work is not enough to lead a life of purpose .Loving our families and taking care of friends are also indispensable parts in our life. When people really love their families ,they will surely find the purpose of life.In other words , our emotions can be surely content when we stay with our families and friends. One’s life without love is like the sky without sunshine. Work and Love play the most important two roles in the purpose for which we seek throughout our life . But other aspects such as devotion and learning knowledge also have an deep influence on our life . These things affect our behaviour and values more or less ,even though most of us can’t realize it clearly . As the saying goes :“When we do good , we feel good , and we are good.” Set the correct purpose of your life now , And you will make a difference to your life.

wonders, the unfailing childlike appetite of whats next and the joy of the game

of living. In the center of your heart and my heart there is a wireless station:

so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and power from

men and from the infinite, so long are you young.

An individual human existence should be like a river—small at first,

narrowly contained within its banks, and rushing passionately past boulders and

over waterfalls. Gradually the river grows wider, the banks recede, the waters

flow more quietly, and in the end, without any visible break, they become merged

in the sea, and painlessly lose their individual being.

Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity, of the

appetite for adventure over the love of ease. This often exists in a man of

sixty more than a boy of twenty. Nobody grows old merely by a number of years.

We grow old by deserting our ideals.

Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.

Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust.

Now, the new semester has begun for more than one week. I gradually adapt

to my new life in senior school. In senior school, my biggest feeling is busy,

for I have classes all the day and teachers leave us a lot of homework. In the

morning, I have two periods for morning reading, Chinese and English, beginning

from 7:00. After that, I have four periods in the morning and four other in the

afternoon. There are many more subjects than in middle school, Chinese, math,

English, physics, chemistry, history and so on. Sometimes, I am afraid of seeing

so many textbooks in my desk. In addition, the contents are much more difficult

than before. Math and physics are the most difficult ones for me. No matter how

hard I work, I still can’t do well in them, which makes me frustrated.

Therefore, in the new beginning, I must change my learning strategies to make my

work more effective. All in all, my new life in new school is good and rich,

though it’s busy.

There is no doubt that we all want to be successful. But what’s the main

concern of the way to success? From Abraham Lincoln’s famous remark, “Give me

six hours to chop down a tree, and I will spend the first four sharpening the

axe”, I learn that if we want to achieve success, we must make full preparation

for it.

Only if we are well prepared, can we catch the opportunity which occurs

once in a while. In our daily life, we have to expand our horizon and lay a

solid foundation for success. It will be a long way to be successful thus we

have to accumulate our knowledge day by day. And we can’t achieve success in one

or two days. It will help us solve problems more efficiently if we have a broad

horizon. What’s more, opportunities always occur out of our expectation so we

have to make ourselves well prepared. If we prepared, we will catch up with it

whenever it comes up.

Opportunities give priorities to the people who make preparation for them.

What’s more, success goes along with opportunities. We should develop the

ability to solve problems in different and efficient ways therefore we can make

our way to success more easily.

常言道“一屋不扫，何以扫天下”，意思是先要把一点一滴的小事做好，学会担当责任，长大才能做成一番大事业。是的，我们作为新时代的青少年，从小就要做一个有担当精神的人。

这不，本学期全校第一次大扫除，我和黄班长被分配的的任务是提水。别看小小的一桶水，为了履行好这个责任，做到有担当，我和班长可使出了九牛二虎之力。事后我想想：我流的汗都比提的水多啊!

首先是打水。一接到任务，我和班长一人提一个桶子，立马由四楼跑到了一楼(因为情况特殊，只有一楼有水)。哇，水龙头前排队排成了一条长龙。我和班长一步步挪到了龙头边，打开开关，连绵不绝的自来水流入我们的桶子，从“叮叮叮叮……”到“咚咚咚咚……”，这高高低低的“音乐声”也是对耐心的一种焦灼考验啊!

终于打满了两大桶，我们俩提着这沉甸甸的水，一步一步的向楼梯间方向进发。到了楼梯间，我看我的水比班长的少一点，于是我左手帮他提着桶，右手劲儿大，就倔强的提着自己那桶。一级，二级……一边爬楼，背上一边冒热汗，步子越来越沉重，呼吸也越来越急促;挪啊挪，数啊数，终于到了二楼。我和班长立马把水桶放下，大口大口的喘气。班长还伸着手指指着我，满脸疑惑，喘着粗气的问道：“你说，这水，为，为什么会这么重?”“应该是……在家里做少了这样的事呗!”我说。我们又一起感叹了许久。咬咬牙，提起桶，继续向三楼迈进。

经过楼梯间拐角时，我一不小心，右边桶子突然在墙上撞了一下。水桶晃了晃，水花一下子溅到了我的裤子、鞋子上。湿漉漉的，很不舒服。“没事吧?”班长停了下来，关切的问道。“没事，没事，继续。”我摆摆手，故作轻松，再次提起像灌了铅一样的水，和班长一步一挪地继续往四楼爬去……

好不容易到了四楼，也终于看到了那一丁点的曙光。虽然手已经麻麻的，没有知觉了，背心湿漉漉的，裤子鞋子冰冰凉凉，脚也难已迈开步，但我和班长仍然相互鼓劲，坚持挪到了教室。等着要水抹窗户和拖地的同学立刻高兴的朝我们涌过来，我们终于放心地长长地呼出了一口气。

我和班长，终于不负众望，漂亮地完成了班级赋予我们的责任，学会了担当!

My childhood was unforgettable. When I was five years old, I went to the kindergarten every day. I had a lot of good time with my little friends. My parents took good care of me. I didn’t need to care about food and clothes and any other things. I was very happy in those days. But one day, my mother told me that she wouldnt pick me up after school. I was afraid of going home alone, so I started to cry and I was angry with my mother. Although I insisted that she and my father should protect me safely, they still disagreed with me. They thought it was good for me to learn to be independent. The next day after class, I had to take a bus to go back home. I forgot to see the bus route when I got on. Therefore, when the bus was more and more far from my home, I felt anxious. Finally, I got the last stop, and then took the same bus back home. When I told my parents my story, they never thought it is a mistake, on the contrary, they thought it is a useful experience. From then on, I dont let them meet me after school any more.
