+ 加入清单After a long cold winter when I have rarely been out on my bike, the weather has finally turned warmer and even sunny occasionally. Yesterday I had a surprise call from Tom suggesting we turn out for a short ride. This being my intention anyway I gladly agreed and we met up at Jiedaokou Station at about ten o’clock.
As Tom has a permanent Sunday Lunch appointment at 12-30pm we opted to make a round trip to Hannan . The weather was cloudy but dry and as we were both a bit out of condition after a long winter lay off we took the easy option of taking the train to Shiyan to get us on top of the ridge with an easy start for the trip.
A long coast down to Jiangtan and straight on to Mount End saw us climbing up to Zhongshan Park. The climb got stiffer but still Tom kept on riding. Gritting my teeth I followed on and crested the hill, Then the usual Essex switchback with an enforced short walk for both of us part way along saw us at Tawny common. Round the common we went, to the Mole Trap, an erstwhile rough old country pub now tarted up for the motorists. I don’t go in there any more, so we sat on the adjacent public seat for a while and a short natter.
Time enough to break away, Tom to his lunch appointment, me for home by way of theYellow Crane Tower and Changjiang Bridge. See you in a while, crocodile! I arrived home about 2 o’clock. Just in time for my own Sunday lunch .

篇8:我家乡的变化初中作文
全文共 976 字
+ 加入清单金秋送爽,丹桂飘香,在这硕果累累、满载喜悦的季节,我们迎来了国庆63周年,随着祖国的日益强大、科技日新月异,我们的家乡、我们的生活都发生了翻天覆地的变化。
假日里,我和爸爸妈妈去乡下。爸爸驾驶汽车行驶在宽阔的柏油马路上,路两侧长满了参天大树,宛如一个个等待检阅的士兵。马路两侧装上了路灯,晚上既能照明,白天又很美观。“妈妈,外婆家的村口多了一块用红漆写着村名的巨石,真壮观!”我叫嚷着。这时妈妈感慨道:“哎,现在变化真大!妈妈小时候在乡下,都是泥土路,一下雨,泥泞不堪,经常打滑摔跤。晚上四周黑漆漆的,路上几乎看不到人影。现在,村里有了大广场,吃过晚饭,广场上的灯一打开,把周围照得如同白昼,男女老少都在广场上健身、玩乐……”“是啊!”爸爸也随声附和“爸爸小时候住的是平
房,没有空调,夏天经常热得整晚睡不着;那时候我们看的是黑白电视机,只有几个频道,很不清晰,经常出现‘雪花’,而且晚上经常停电;我们吃得是粗茶淡饭,只有过年才能穿新衣。现在呢,是想吃什么就能有什么吃,比萨、肯德基、麦当劳……应有尽有。要是在以前呀,这些东西,连想都不敢想呢。“
我静静地听着,却思绪万千,感触很深。先看看我们家的变化。交通工具从自行车、摩托车、丰田汽车、宝马汽车,一次一次的更新着;住房从小楼房到高层商品房再到现在的别墅,住得是越来越舒适了;家用电器一应俱全,每年都在更新换代。再看我们周围的环境,河水是越来越清澈了,连水底的沙石都能看得一清二楚;天空也越来越蓝了;绿化面积也越来越大了,在花园的绿化带中,撒发出花的芳香,沁人心脾,令人流连忘返;鸟儿在天空中自由自在得飞翔,鱼儿在水中欢快地游着;马路干净整洁、一尘不染,乡下也有了垃圾箱,不像以前,垃圾都是随处的乱扔;高楼大厦如同雨后春笋一般,矗立在我的家乡;商场、超市的商品琳琅满目,应有尽有,方便极了;夜晚,华灯初上,街上人群熙来攘往的,霓虹闪烁,流光溢彩,这夜景真是美极了!家乡的人们更加注重精神生活的追求,跳舞、唱锡剧、打太极等文娱活动如火如荼地展开了;现在经济也富裕了,外出旅游的人也多了,人们在跋山涉水中感受到了祖国的壮丽河山,繁荣昌盛。在我的眼中,我的家乡真是一年一个新面貌!一年一个新景象!
我爱我的家乡!更爱我的祖国!我坚信,再过十年,我的家乡——宜兴,一定会变得更加美好!更加繁荣!

篇9:做好自己能做的事初中3年级作文
全文共 950 字
+ 加入清单有一位诗人说:什么是快乐?快乐就是做好自己能做的事。多么朴实的一句话,却蕴含着深刻的道理。因为当我们把自己能做的一件事做好后,我们就会找到一种满足、一种信心,于是我们就会以一个愉悦的心态去做下一件事。
做好自己能做的事,是我们在成长中前进的基础;做好自己能做的事情,是我们改造世界的条件;做好自己能做的事情,是我们走向成功的必经之路。做好自己能做好的事,说起来容易做起来难,这不仅要求我们坚韧踏实,更要求我们有一种执着、永不言弃的精神。
史学家司马迁身心受到巨大伤痛,没有绝望,完成了《史记》这一巨著,给后人留下了宝贵的文化遗产,他做好了自己能做的事。发明家爱迪生经历了一次又一次失败,没有放弃,最终取得了成功,一项项新发明诞生,他做好了自己能做的事。最后的成功让人欣喜,让之前的失败与挫折更有意义。做好自己能做的事,并不一定在事业上取得成功,但至少在精神上,是一名胜利者。
还有很多例子。越王勾践卧薪尝胆,三千越甲可吞吴;史铁生下身瘫痪,却在轮椅上奋笔疾书;贝多芬双耳失聪,《命运交响曲》振奋人心。为人民服务的雷锋,人民的好公仆焦裕禄,刚正不阿的任长霞??他们都是当代的楷模,他们都是在做好自己能做好的事,如此地脚踏实地。
试问,现在的人们有几个能把自己能做的事情做好?我觉得,一件事情,已经做了,就要把它做好,不要给自己留下遗憾。
做好自己能做的事,是一种气概,是一种能力,是一种进步,这需要我们有“千磨万击还坚劲,任尔东西南北风”的执着精神;需要我们有“柳暗花明又一村”的乐观心态。做好自己能做的事,实际上是对我们意志、毅力、心态的考验和磨砺。
我们不能决定生命的长度,但可以控制它的宽度;我们不能做到事事顺利,但可以做到事事尽力。做好自己能做的事,让我们的人生平凡而不平庸。做好自己能做的事,成就生命的辉煌,体现生命的价值。
试题分析:对能做的工作要热爱执著。有些工作是重要的,也是有限的,不是每个人都做得到,也不是每个人都做得了的。做自己做得了的事要安心去做。
做一个好的领袖是一支燃得亮亮的蜡烛,做一个好的家庭主妇也是一支燃得亮亮的蜡烛,如果每个人都做一支燃得亮亮的蜡烛,那世界上便没有了黑暗的地方。
做好自己能做的事,人活着就有了价值;做好自己能做的事,人活着就有了意义。

我又大方又小气,为什么大方?因为我喜欢分享的快乐。一次,我带了满满一袋糖果,口袋塞得像猪八戒的肚子,鼓鼓着都撑快爆了!结果,同学们像饿狼看到羊一般,扑向了我,而我毫不犹豫地把这甜蜜的供品奉上,因为跟别人分享,自己的心里也好像长出了一朵芬芳的花。可为什么我又小气呢?一次美术课上,同桌想跟我借卡纸,想到他平时上课那么不认真,我一眼都懒得理他,一脸嫌弃地说:不给!他苦苦地恳求:就一张,不多不少,就一张!我恶狠狠地瞪着他,生气地说:不给,谁让你上课总不专心,这就是惩罚!他马上乖乖就范,不敢再说话。这就我爱憎分明的小气啦!
我既勤快又有点小懒惰,为什么勤快?一旦我勤快起来,那可是谁也拦不住的。像妈妈做午饭时,我就义不容辞的成了协助小能手啦!从洗菜到切菜,一条龙服务,而且质量保证过关合格。妈妈的夸奖就是我变身勤快小公主的动力。那为什么会懒呢?这个让我来举个例子吧!就像晒被子一类的活,一旦妈妈给我下干活指令,懒洋洋的爸爸就会推三阻四,我也赶紧躲得远远的,生怕被妈妈抓去,最后的结果一般都是妈妈自己乖乖无奈的收拾残局,我想:生活里的小懒惰你也应该有过吧!哈哈......
我就是一朵云,一朵飘忽不定的云!为什么人会有这么多面呢?我认为在不同情况下人的性格会变,你觉得呢?
