明天就是父亲节，我想给爸爸送两份礼物。

中午，我趁大家睡午觉的时候，我拿出五十元的零花钱去买礼物，一到了花店，我却不知道要买哪一种，我这看看那看看，终于找到了合适的花，把钱给了老板。我又去买了几包折许愿星的纸，回到了家，我把花插进了花瓶，在里面加点水，便把花藏到没人注意的地方。花弄好以后，我就开始折许愿星，每一颗星星里我都写了一个祝福，一颗星，两颗星······共折了一百七十九颗，别看这些小小的星星，但每颗星星里都包含着我对爸爸的祝福。许愿星折完后，我把它放在一个精美的小礼盒里，期待着明天能快点到来。

第二天清晨六点钟，我悄悄地走进房间，我把花和许愿星放在了桌上，我便走出了房间。慢慢的香味便弥漫了整个房间，爸爸被香味给熏醒了，发现上面还写着：爸爸父亲节快乐。爸爸脸上露出了笑脸。

Friendship is a kind of human relations. It is a human instinct to make

friends.When in trouble, we need friends to offer us help, support and

encouragement. With success achieved, we also need friends to share our joys.

Friendship is also one of the greatest pleasures that we can enjoy. It implies

loyalty, cordiality, sympathy, affection,and readiness to help. No man can make

the most of his life without carefully and conscientiously striving to win the

right kind of friends as he goes along.

Knowing how valuable friendship is, we should be very careful in making

friends. Real friends are those who have good character, superior ability and

kindness of heart. Real friends can share all our sorrows and double all our

joys.While making friends, we should take care to select those who have such

fine qualities. Then we should treat our friends with courtesy, be careful not

to interfere unreasonably with them,and not to ridicule their proceedings. We

should forgive their failures and do our best to help them. In short, when we

have established friendship, we ought to cherish and treasure it by means of

words and deeds. Only thus, can we develop real friendship and keep the sacred

lamp of friendship burning all our life.

We can live in this beautiful， wonderful world， because our parents raised

us. They taught us the life every one of the first， is the first step they

taught us to walk， is they taught us that the first sentence， is they taught us

to recognize the first word... If without our dear parents， there is no us.

are very worried， they take me to the hospital together， dad behind my back that

day， mother behind his umbrella to us， because it was late， we only have to walk

to the hospital， the mother to the hospital to register， with my dad， waiting

for the doctor to see a doctor for me， that we always stay up till midnight， see

I don‘t have anything， mom and dad with a smile， but my tears blurred my eyes.

So I told mom and dad said： “I will study hard repay you later.” They said： “as

Recently, a professor of philosophy in the United States has written a book

called Money and the Meanlng of Life. He has discovered that how we deal with

money in our day-to-day life has more meaning than we usually think. One of the

exercises he asked his students to do is to keep a record of every penny they

spend for a week.From the way they spend their money, they can see what they

Really value in life.

He says our relation with others often becomes clearly defined when money

enters the picture. You might have a wonderful friendship with somebody and you

think that you are very good friends. But you will know him only when you ask

him to lend you some money. If he does, it brings something to the relationship

that seems stronger than ever before. Or it can suddenly weaken the relationship

if he doesnt. This person may say that he has a certain feeling, but if it is

not carried out in the money world, there is something less real about it.

People just have an idea of making more and more money, but what is it for?

How much do I need for any given purposes in my life7 In his book, the professor

uncovered an important need in modern society: to bring back the idea that money

is an instrument rather than the end. Money plays an important role in the

material world, but expecting money to give happiness may be missing the meaning

of life.

When I return to my hometown on holidays, I will be very excited, because

there.

middle school life again, I am so excited to learn new things every day. In the

future days, I will meet many challenges, I believe I can get over them. Life in

middle school has happiness and sorrow, they fulfill my life.

Nowadays, more and more students fall in love in middle schools that

worries teachers and parents. As for me, I don’t agree to puppy love. No matter

admit it or not, puppy love will certainly have negative influence on study,

because it takes much time and energy. But the most important is that middle

school students are not mature enough to operate a relationship. The favorable

impression to others may be the momentary impulse that will not last very long

time. The middle school students are so young and unthoughtful to take the

responsibilities of love. What should they do is put their study in priority and

wait with patience, because true love is worth of waiting.

environmental protection is sustainable, in order to we can have a better

environment. In order to we live healthier lives, so mom from that moment on,

chopsticks, but now I can bring their own chopsticks to school. I think, though

this is a small matter, but I do my responsibility.

Happiness of life to let China land everyone be permeated with happy smile,

rich products, long history, noble quality, the plot environment. Nowadays, the

environment is polluted, the green environmental protection starts from me, let

“清明时节雨纷纷，路上行人欲断魂。”清明节再次如期而至，小雨淋沥，有种难得的诗意。

老家，是传承清明节的地方，每年都会回来烧纸，祭奠，今年也不例外。

伴随着婉转的鸟鸣，一般的街，一般的房，一般的狗，一般的门，我们来到了妈妈出生的地方。车转入一座小村庄，拐进一个幽静的胡同。路两边的柳树发了小芽芽，褐色枝条上绿色的斑点闪闪发光，像希望一样在生长着。杂草也纷纷探出了头，那么新鲜，那么嫩绿，让我不禁想去摸摸，看看是不是假的。

进了古朴的大门，我首先注意到的是砖铺的地面，灰灰的，凹凸不平，踩在上面很硌得慌，挺好玩的。院子里有几块砖砌护边的小菜地，种着葱、韭菜什么的，它们也都发了芽。小葱长得尤其茂盛，像约好的似的一般粗细，一般大小，整齐有序。

“吱——”我推开卧室的门，一股冷气袭来，夹杂着一种尘旧的味道。沙发的皮灰蒙蒙的，早已没有了往日的光彩。大床上姥姥已铺上鲜艳干净的床单，扑上去，感觉像陷进了柔软，太多的被子，没有床垫。衣橱背面，还有个小隔间，光线很暗，只有一张小床——这是我今晚的归宿。

参观完一圈后，天色渐渐暗了。一只画眉背对我，站在树枝上，一本正经地唱。不同曲调，不同节奏，一支接一支，真令人赞叹！

晚饭很丰盛，很香，但吃得很累，眼皮只打架。吃完我就钻进自己的被窝，在爸爸下象棋时的“咔咔”声中睡着了。

第二天下午，我们赶往霍家陵园。车子在一望无际的麦田间穿梭，一阵绿浪来势凶猛，却又瞬间消散。我看不清那小麦苗的轮廓，却能嗅得到那麦田的清香。

很快，我看到了一片杨树林。树之间的土丘与石碑告诉我，这就是目的地。

下了车，我的脚踩在了湿润的泥土上。天，开始下雨了。

这里的杨树依然死气沉沉，没有春来的生气。秋季落下的枯叶一层层堆积着，一条条沟壑被树叶填满，形成一个个“陷阱”，脚一下去便没了踪影。一个个顶着新草块的坟头被石碑护在身后，那上面记载着一个或两个人的灵魂。

看着一块又一块石碑，我难以相信这世上已经消失了这么多人，无论好人、坏人，都是让人惋惜的呀！我心里酸溜溜的，像堵了个疙瘩。

火，烧起来了。我听见姥爷对坟头说：“爹，娘，你的孙子孙女都来看你了，你们也高兴高兴吧！”我想像着木匠老姥爷，能做出精巧小刀的人，会是什么样呢？一定很慈祥。他呵护妈妈就像爷爷呵护我一样，妈妈的童年一定很幸福吧。缠着小脚的老姥姥会是什么样呢？不敢走路，她一定很寂寞。这时，姥爷又对另一个坟头说：“孩子他娘，孩子们都来看你了，放心吧，都挺好。给你带了钱，在那边，别不舍得花啊。”妈妈曾说，想知道姥姥的样子，看她就行。那么，姥姥是一样的亲了，可惜我还没出生，她就去世了。

我读着石碑上刻着的名字，只感到怀念与悲伤。

火，把我们的思念寄走了；火，把我们的关心带给了另一边的姥姥他们，可是他们的回信呢，何时能到？酒，已经烧干了；肉，也烧尽了，就差我们用虔诚的祈祷把它们送到了。

“咚”，第一个头，把心意送到阴间；“咚”，第二个头，把钱币和物资送到阴间；“咚”，第三个头，表示与他们告别。三个头磕完了，我的老姥爷、姥姥和老姥姥，该安心了吧。不要想我们了，我们明年还会来看你们。愿先辈们在另一个世界过得舒心！

雨，大了；火，灭了；人，散了。我跨过一道道鸿沟，跑到麦田里。我疯了似的狂奔，想把悲伤甩掉。

回家的路泥泞不堪，一路上，我们大声聊着天，忍受着车子的震动。家，不一会儿就到了。啊，温馨的家，我需要你的慰藉，我好想你啊！

扫墓，祭祖，不止是怀念先辈，也要追想他们的美好品格。让真诚的怀念伴随着我，不要烦恼，珍惜有限的生命，去创造更多的美好，更多的成就！
