Do you know Harry Potter? If you dont, then you are out of date. Many

people love Harry Potter, whether children or adults. I love Harry Potter, too.

Last week, I went to Nantong to see the movie "Harry Potter and the Goblet of

Fire".It was a wonderful movie. In the movie, Harry is the same age as us and he

is more handsome than me. Harrys best friends are Hermione and Ron. The movie

tells the story of Harrys Fourth Year at Hogwarts. The Goblet of Five selects

him to compete as one of four champions in the Throwizard Tournament, despite

the fact that he didnt submit his name. The Tournament is very dangerous so his

friends are all worried about him. Hermione and Ron try their best to help Harry

to prepare for each task. I think their friendship is unbreakable. Cho Chang,

who Harry likes, is a Chinese pretty girl. I liked her but I liked Hermione

better because she is very clever.Its very magical! I love magic as much as

Harry does. If I lived in a magic world, I could pick up gigantic things easily,

I could go to wherever I liked and I could fly on a broom, I could change my

hairstyle of any time, I could.Its a perfect world and its a perfect

dream.

Everyone has his favorite teacher, so do I. My favourite teacher is Miss Wei, our English teacher. We felt English very difficult when we began to study English. Miss Wei had a good idea to solve the problem. One day, Miss Wei came into the classroom with some fruits, such as apples, bananas, and oranges. She said: “Today we are going to learn the names of the fruits. You can eat the fruits if you can tell me their names in English. ”All the students listened carefully and studied hard. Someone even stood up to answer questions. Class was over, and the fruits were all eaten. From then on, I am more and more interested in English, and I want to say from my heart: “ Thank you, Miss Wei!”

Miss Li often sticks to have lessons when she is ill , She looked weak, but still beautiful. Miss Li love us very much, she teaches us so carefully .I think she is a good teacher. We all love her, too.

I think teachers are like candles , giving off light for others by burning themselves 。

每个人都有他最喜欢的老师,我也是。我最喜欢的老师是魏老师,我们的英语老师。我们觉得英语很难,当我们开始学习英语。魏老师有一个好主意来解决这个问题。有一天,魏老师走进教室和一些水果,如苹果,香蕉,橘子。她说:“今天我们要学习这些水果的名字。你可以吃水果,如果你能告诉我他们的名字在英语。“所有的学生都听得很认真,努力学习。有人甚至站起来回答问题。下课,水果都已经被吃掉了。从那时起,我越来越对英语感兴趣,从我的心,我想说:“谢谢你,韦小姐!”

李小姐经常坚持上课,当她病了,她看起来有些虚弱,但依然美丽。李小姐很爱我们,她教我们这么仔细。我认为她是一个好老师。我们都爱她。

我认为老师就像蜡烛,散发光为别人通过燃烧自己。

I like reading very much because reading is the ladder of human progress.

What’s more, reading brings us not only endless fun but also opportunities.

There are many available books for us to choose from, like history books,

science books, literary books and so no. But what interests me most in history

books---over the long course of history, the Chinese nation has witnessed

changes of dynasties, transfers of governments, and foreign powers in modern

history. This makes me realize the great responsibility of the development of

the motherland. Therefore, we should study hard for the rise of the Chinese.

I sincerely hope that everyone can absorb more nutrients and cultivate a

more noble character through reading.

News, used to be the most dont like to see it. Since the childhood has been like watching cartoon and foam. Now over the years is already 15 years old girl, the adults always said I dont understand, I also often because of his bad temper, or not doing things. "Knowledge too little" finally let me find the dawn, from then on began to like the news.

Compared to the past, only reading does make me understand a lot of knowledge, also became the academic leaders, but its a downright failure in life. While reading can also know society, but after all the writers praise is the truth in life, and that I love watching cartoons, and eulogize justice and goodness, degeneration and reject evil. In such an environment, my heart has been living in the white cloud, so that as the growth of the age, heart is still very naive. But I will contact with the reality of society, the essence of this society is not absolutely fair, not cheated can only let oneself become strong. But when he does not know this, just complain, disposition also become bad. Fortunately, when I was going to despair, when the news took me, no let me into the who also do not know to have bottomless pit.

Know only after watching the news of the worlds largest and I small. The content of the news is very rich, I also have different preferences, from country to country, down to between people. I see from a real case: "some of the good qualities: honesty, integrity, good Samaritan, wisdom... how important it is for this society!

新闻，以前是最不喜欢看的。从小到大一直喜看动画片和泡沫剧。现今过了年已是十五岁的大姑娘了，大人们常说我不懂事，我也常因自己脾气不好，或是不会处理事情而烦恼。一句“见识太少”终于让我找到了曙光，从此便开始喜欢上新闻。

对比以往，只读书确实让我懂了不少知识，也成为了学业上的佼佼者，但在生活上却是一个失败透顶的人。虽然读书也可以认识社会，但毕竟作家们歌颂的都是生活中的真善美，以及那我爱看的动画片，也是讴歌正义和善良，贬低和排斥邪恶势力。在这样的环境影响下，我的心一直生活在洁白无瑕的云端，以至于随着年龄的增长，心确仍然很幼稚。但我终究要与现实的社会接触，这个社会的本质就是没有绝对的公平，要想不吃亏就只能让自己成为强者。可惜当初的自己并不懂得这点，只是一味的抱怨，性格也变得恶劣。幸运的是，当我快要绝望的时候，新闻拉住了我，没有让我滑向那个谁也不知道有没有底的深渊。

在看了新闻后才知道世界之大与我之渺小。新闻的内容很丰富，我的喜好也不尽相同，上到国家与国家之间，下到人与人之间。我从一个个真实的例子中看出：“人的一些美好的品质：诚信、正直、见义勇为、智慧……对于这个社会是多么重要!

Newspapers and websites are two major new media in the world today, both of which can provide us with lots of news and information. But they’re different in some ways.

Newspapers enjoy a longer history and often come out daily with more reliable news and information. They can be carried and read almost anywhere you like. So many people like reading them. But they can only contain texts and photos.

On the other hand, websites are quite new and popular, especially among young people. Websites have not only texts with pictures but also audios and videos, which makes stories more interesting. What’s more, they are updated from time to time. So the latest news is always seen on websites instead of in newspapers. But it is not quite convenient for people without a computer connected with the Internet to get information from websites.

The 2008 Beijing Olympic Games is coming.What can we do for it?What mustn’t

we do?Our classmates had a discussion about it.

Firstly,we can work as a volunteer during the games.And we may plant more

trees in order to protect the environment.Also we can learn English well so as

to serve the foreigners.

At last,we should be polite to everyone and have good manners.

We mustn’t spit everywhere.We mustn’t speak dirty words in public because

it can leave a bad impression on others.We mustn’t pollute the

environment.Finally,we mustn’t do anything bad to our country because we are

Chinese.

When I was a naughty boy, may be because of the influence of the film "Xiao

Bing Zhang Ga", my dream was to be a soldier just like Zhang Ga. I thought if I

was a soldier, I should be able to swim, dive and climb trees as he did. It

seemed to be very wonderful. So I began to learn swimming, diving and climbing

trees. I practiced every day and finally I could do them well. But when I

entered junior high school and had the military training. I suddenly found that

being a soldier was very difficult and I wasnt strong enough tobear it. I had

to give my dream up.

But I wasnt discouraged, and I had a new aim, which was to be a postman,

or rather to be a newspaper boy. As a newspaper boy. I could speed along streets

on a bike and throw newspapers onto every porch. Thats also very cool. So I

started learning to ride a bicycle. After the everyday practice, I could go very

fast by bicycle. But to my disappointment, the job which I wanted only existed

in western counties not in China, because there was no porch in China. And

Chinese postmen had to stuff very thick newspapers into very small mailboxes

from very narrow entrances. The job was far from what I had expected. So once

again my dream fell through.

i never considered myself unique, but people are constantly telling me, "you are a miracle." to me, i was just an ordinary "guy" with realistic goals and big dreams. i was a 19-year-old student at the university of texas and well on my way toward fulfilling my "big dream" of one day becoming an orthopedic surgeon.

我从未觉得自己与众不同，但人们常对我说：“你的生命是个奇迹。”对我而言，我只是一个普通人，有着现实的目标和远大的理想。我曾是德克萨斯大学一名十九岁的大学生，在通向理想之路上信步前行，梦想有一天我会成为一名整形外科医生。

on the night of february 17, 1981 i was studying for an organic chemistry test at the library with sharon, my girlfriend of three years. sharon had asked me to drive her back to her dormitory as it was getting quite late. we got into my car, not realizing that just getting into a car would never quite be the same for me again. i quickly noticed that my gas gauge was registered on empty so i pulled into a nearby convenience store to buy 2.00 worth of gas. "ill be back in two minutes," i yelled at sharon as i closed the door. but instead, those two minutes changed my life forever.

1981年2月17日的晚上，我和交往三年的女友沙伦在为有机化学测试做准备。因为太晚了，沙伦叫我驾车把她送回宿舍。我们钻进汽车，谁能想到在今后的生命中我不能再如此矫健地重复这样一个简单的动作。我很快发现油表空了，于是我把车泊在附近的一家便利店旁，想买两块钱的汽油。“我两分钟就回来，”我关上车门朝沙伦喊到。但就是这短短的两分钟改变了我一生的命运，永远地改变了。

entering the convenience store was like entering the twilight zone. on the outside i was a healthy, athletic, pre-med student, but on the inside i was just another statistic of a violent crime. i thought i was entering an empty store, but suddenly i realized it was not empty at all. three robbers were in the process of committing a robbery and my entrance into the store caught them by surprise. one of the criminals immediately shoved a .38 caliber handgun to my head, ordered me to the cooler, pushed me down on the floor, and pumped a bullet into the back of my head -- execution style. he obviously thought i was dead because he did not shoot me again. the trio of thieves finished robbing the store and left calmly.

进入这家便利店就如同踏上了阴阳间的奈何桥，门外的我还是个健康的，活蹦乱跳的未婚大学生，而门内的我却成了暴力犯罪的又一个牺牲品。我还以为店里没有人，但我突然发现我错了——有三个匪徒正在打劫这家店，而我的进入让他们有些惊慌失措。其中一个匪徒迅速掏出一把口径为38毫米的手枪用力指着我的头，勒令我走到冷冻机旁，然后把我推倒在地，像执行死刑般从后面朝我头部开了一枪。他没再朝我开第二枪，显然他以为我死了。打劫完后三个劫匪逃之夭夭。

meanwhile, sharon wondered why i had not returned. after seeing the three men leave the store she really began to worry as i was the last person she saw entering the store. she quickly went inside to look for me, but saw no one-only an almost empty cash register containing one check and several pennies. quickly she ran down each aisle shouting, "mike, mike!"

与此同时，沙伦对我的不归忧心忡忡。看到这三个匪徒离开便利店后她真的很担心，因为我是她见到的最后一个进入店里的人。她赶快跑进店来找我，只见几乎被一扫而空的收银机上挂着一张帐单，还有几枚硬币散落在上面，四周无人。她在货架间飞快地跑着、喊着：“迈克，迈克!”

just then the attendant appeared from the back of the store shouting, "lady, get down on the floor. ive just been robbed and shot at!"

这时一名服务员从店后面走出来叫到：“小姐，过来一下，我刚才被打劫了，他们还向我开了枪。”

sharon quickly dropped to the floor screaming, "have you seen my boyfriend? he has auburn hair." the man did not reply but went back to the cooler where he found me choking on my vomit. the attendant quickly cleaned my mouth and then called for the police and an ambulance.

沙伦跌跌撞撞地过来哭喊到：“你见到我的男朋友了吗?长褐色头发的。” 那人默默走到冷冻机旁，找到了我，此时呕吐快令到我窒息了。他赶忙帮我擦干了嘴，叫了警察和救护车。

sharon was in shock. she was beginning to understand that i was hurt, but she could not begin to comprehend or imagine the severity of my injury.

沙伦被吓坏了。渐渐地她才明白我受伤了，但是她根本想象不到伤势的严重性。

when the police arrived they immediately called the homicide division as they did not think i would survive and the paramedic reported that she had never seen a person so severely wounded survive. at 1:30 a.m. my parents who lived in houston, were awakened by a telephone call from brackenridge hospital advising them to come to austin as soon as possible for they feared i would not make it through the night.

警察来了，他们很快断定是杀人案，因为没人相信我还能活过来，而救护人员说她从来没有见过伤势如此严重的人可以逃离死劫。下午一点半，我住在奥斯汀的父母被来自布莱肯瑞吉医院的电话铃惊醒，医院通知他们尽快赶到奥斯汀，因为他们认为我熬不过当晚了。

but i did make it through the night and early in the morning the neurosurgeon decided to operate. however, he quickly informed my family and sharon that my chances of surviving the surgery were only 40/60. if this were not bad enough, the neurosurgeon further shocked my family by telling them what life would be like for me if i beat the odds and survived. he said i probably would never walk, talk, or be able to understand even simple commands.

但那晚我挺了过来，第二天清晨神经外科医生决定给我动手术。但他立即告知我的家人和沙伦我存活的机会只有百分之四十。然后他还雪上加霜地告诉我的家人，向他们描述如果我万幸活下来将面临怎样的生活——我可能再也不会走路了，不会说话了，甚至不能理解一些极其简单的命令。这些对我的家人来说都是莫大的打击。

my family was hoping and praying to hear even the slightest bit of encouragement from that doctor. instead, his pessimistic words gave my family no reason to believe that i would ever again be a productive member of society. but once again i beat the odds and survived the three and a half hours of surgery. granted, i still could not talk, my entire right side was paralyzed and many people thought i could not understand, but at least i was stable. after one week in a private room the doctors felt i had improved enough to be transferred by jet ambulance to del oro rehabilitation hospital in houston.

本来家里人祈望能从医生的口中听到一点点鼓励的话，而他悲观的言语让他们没理由相信我还会成为一个对社会有用的人。在经历了三个半小时的手术之后，我再次侥幸地活了下来。医生的话得到了应验，我不能说话，整个右边的身体瘫痪了，许多人认为我变傻了，但至少我身体状况是稳定的。在私人看护病房里呆了一个星期后，医生觉得我已经好转了许多，并可以坐救护飞机转到奥斯汀的德欧洛康复医院。

my hallucinations, coupled with my physical problems, made my prognosis still very bleak. however, as time passed my mind began to clear and approximately six weeks later my right leg began to move ever so slightly. within seven weeks my right arm slowly began to move and at eight weeks i uttered my first few words. my speech was extremely difficult and slow in the beginning, but at least it was a beginning. i was starting to look forward to each new day to see how far i would progress. but just as i thought my life was finally looking brighter i was tested by the hospital euro-psychologist. she explained to me that judging from my test results she believed that i should not focus on returning to college but that it would be better to set more "realistic goals."

意识上的幻觉和生理上的病疾使我的病情预断非常的渺茫。然而时间的飞逝使我的意识开始变得清晰，大约六个星期以后我的右腿可以轻微地活动了，七周以后我的右臂开始缓慢地活动了，八周以后我终于开口说话了。说话对于我非常地艰难并且开始的时候说得很慢，但是总算是开头了。我开始寄希望于新的一天的到来，祈望着新的进步。但正当我以为生活总算初露光明的时候，医院里有个欧洲来的心理学家对我做了测试。她向我解释到，从检测的结果来看她坚信我不能再重返学校，劝我对此不要抱有任何希望，希望我最好树立些更现实点的目标。

upon hearing her evaluation i became furious for i thought, "who is she to tell me what i can or cannot do. she does not even know me. i am a very determined and stubborn person!" i believe it was at that very moment that i decided i would somehow, someday return to college.

她的这番结论让我怒不可遏，“她是谁，凭什么告诉我能做什么或不能做什么。她根本不了解我。我是很坚强而固执的人!”我相信就在那时我决定无论如何，总有一天我会返回学校的。

it took me a long time and a lot of hard work but i finally returned to the university of texas in the fall of 1983 -- a year and a half after almost dying. the next few years in austin were very difficult for me, but i truly believe that in order to see beauty in life you have to experience some unpleasantness. maybe i have experienced too much unpleasantness, but i believe in living each day to the fullest, and doing the very best i can. and each new day was very busy and very full, for besides attending classes at the university i underwent therapy three to five days each week at brackenridge hospital. if this were not enough i flew to houston every other weekend to work with tom williams, a trainer and executive who had worked for many colleges and professional teams and also had helped many injured athletes, such as earl campbell and eric dickerson. through tom i learned: "nothing is impossible and never, never give up or quit."

在经历了一年半垂死挣扎的生活后，在漫长的等待和艰辛的付出后，终于在1983年的秋天，我返回了德克萨斯大学。在奥斯汀接下来的几年里我生活得非常艰难，但我确信为了看到生活中的真善美你必须要经历一些苦难。也许我经历的苦难太多了，但我有一个信念——充实地过每一天，尽力做到最好。日子过的很繁忙、很充实，除了读书，每周我还在要在布莱肯瑞吉医院接受三到五次的治疗。如果这还不够忙的话，我还要隔周和汤姆·威廉斯飞到奥斯汀工作。汤姆是一个教练兼主管，他曾效力于许多大学校队和职业联队，并帮助过许多受伤的运动员，如：厄尔·坎贝尔和艾立克·迪克森。从汤姆的身上我学到“没有什么是不可能的，千万千万不要放弃，永不放弃。”

early, during my therapy, my father kept repeating to me one of his favorite sayings. i have repeated it almost every day since being hurt: "mile by mile its a trial; yard by yard its hard; but inch by inch its a cinch."

早在我接受治疗的时候，父亲总是重复他最爱的那句话，每天当我感到痛苦的时候我也对自己重复那句话，那就是“脚踏实地，切勿急功近利。”

i thought of those words, and i thought of tom, my family and sharon who believed so strongly in me as i climbed the steps to receive my diploma from the dean of liberal arts at the university of texas on that bright sunny afternoon in june of 1986. excitement and pride filled my heart as i heard the dean announce that i had graduated with "highest honors", been elected to phi beta kappa, and been chosen as one of 12 deans distinguished graduates out of 1600 in the college of liberal arts. the overwhelming emotions and feelings that i experienced at that very moment, when most of the audience gave me a standing ovation, i felt would never again be matched in my life-not even when i graduated with a masters degree in social work and not even when i became employed full time at the texas pain and stress center. but i was wrong!

1986年六月那个阳光明媚的午后，当我步履蹒跚地走上德克萨斯大学迪安文学院的台阶接受文凭的时候，我思索着这些话，想到汤姆、父母还有沙伦，他们都那么坚定地给予了我信任。当我听到院长宣布我以最高荣誉毕业时，我的心中充满了骄傲和自信。接着他还宣布我被选入美国大学优等生荣誉学会，并在1600名毕业生中当选为12名迪安文学院的杰出毕业生之一。当场有许多观众站起来为我鼓掌，那一刻令我心潮澎湃、百感交集。我甚至觉得生命中不可能再经历那样的感慨和激情，这种想法一直延续到我获得社会学的硕士学位，成为德克萨斯止痛减压中心的一名全职工作人员。但幸运之神再次眷顾了我!

on may 24, 1987, i realized that nothing could ever match the joy i felt as sharon and i were married. sharon, my high school sweetheart of nine years, had always stood by me, through good and bad times. to me, sharon is my miracle, my diamond in a world filled with problems, hurt, and pain. it was sharon who dropped out of school when i was hurt so that she could constantly be at my side. she never wavered or gave up on me. it was her faith and love that pulled me through so many dark days. while other nineteen year old girls were going to parties and enjoying life, sharon devoted her life to my recovery. that, to me, is the true definition of love. after our beautiful wedding i continued working part time at the pain center and completed my work for a masters degree. we were extremely happy, but even happier when we learned sharon was pregnant.

1987年5月24日，我觉得再没有什么能与此时的快乐相提并论，我和沙伦结婚了。沙伦是我高中时代的女友，风风雨雨九年来，她一直陪在我身旁。对我来说，她是我的奇迹，是我在这个充满困惑和伤痛的世界上拥有的一颗钻石。为了能日夜守侯在我的身旁，沙伦在我受伤的时候放弃了学业。她的爱从未动摇过，她从未抛弃过我。是她的忠诚和爱伴着我度过了无数个黑暗的日子。当别的十九岁的女孩子参加舞会、享受生活的时候，沙伦把青春献给了病床上的我，等待我的康复。对我来说，这就是爱的真谛。在那个美满的婚礼之后，我继续在止痛中心做着兼职的工作，并获得了我的硕士学位。我们非常的幸福，而沙伦怀孕的消息更让我们恩爱有加。

on july 11, 1990 at 12:15 a.m. sharon woke me with the news: "we need to go to the hospital… my water just broke." i couldnt help but think how ironic it was that my life almost ended in a convenience store and now on the date "7-11" we were about to bring a new life into this world. this time it was my turn to help sharon as she had helped me over those past years. she was in labor for 15 hours. at 3:10 p.m. sharon and i experienced the birth of our beautiful daughter, shawn elyse segal! tears of joy and happiness came to my eyes as our healthy, alert, wonderful daughter entered this world. we anxiously counted her 10 fingers and her 10 toes and watched her wide eyes take in the world about her. it was truly a beautiful picture that was etched in my mind forever as she lie in her mothers waiting arms, just minutes after her birth. at that moment i thanked god for blessing us with the greatest miracle of all-shawn elyse segal.

1990年7月11日12点15分，沙伦把我从梦中唤醒：“我们得去医院了……我羊水破了。”我忍不住想命运真让人啼笑皆非，它几乎让我在那家便利店里丢了性命，而在一个命名为“7·11”的日子里它却让我迎来新生命的出世。多年来沙伦帮我度过了一次又一次难关，这次该我来帮助她了。沙伦经历了15个小时的分娩。在3点10分的时候，沙伦和我一起迎来了我们美丽的女儿——萧恩·艾丽斯·斯高。当我看到美丽的女儿健康地来到这个世上，喜悦和幸福化作泪水夺眶而出。我们迫不及待地数着她的十个手指和十只脚趾，看着她大大的眼睛注视着她的世界。初生的婴儿躺在妈妈柔软的怀里如一副优美的图画将永驻我的心中。那一刻，我感谢上帝赐予我们如此最伟大的奇迹——我的萧恩·艾丽斯·斯高。

Compared to the universe, our lives are really short, just like a meter.

But the meaning of life doesnt depend on its length but contributions. For

example, Marie Curie, in order to find the radium, she devoted her whole life to

the research. Though the radioactive element had shorter her life, she never

gave up her mind to serve the world. According to her story, I conclude that the

first meaning of life is contribution. The standard of judging a life isnt how

much he asks for but how much he gives away.

The second meaning of life is struggling for our goals. Each of us has

goals, such as longing for position, hoping for wealth and looking forward to be

loved. However, the path leading to them isnt filled with roses. But no matter

how tough to accomplish our dream we should never say die. If you really want to

achieve them, please keep diligent and patient just like an English motto

goes;“No pains ,no gains.”

The third meaning of life is happiness. Not only should we keep happy, but

also bring enjoyment to others .For example, we can have an optimistic attitude

which can affect the people in our surroundings. Besides, we are supposed to be

ready to help others, because in this way we can make both us and them happy .I

consider it an unchangeable truth that ‘Helping others creates happiness.

just want to say, the lives for us are limited, but we are able to make

efforts to make it shine out .Believe it, though our lives are rather short, we

can also make a hit .If we try our best, our lives will be meaningful as

well.

在这一则报导中，我学到很多事，但我第一个想到的是，造成地球变暖的原因是二氧化碳增加。

In this paper, I have learned a lot of things, but I think the first one is the cause of global warming, the increase of carbon dioxide.

为什么二氧化碳会增加呢?我想到的原因是人们常常开车、养食家畜、工厂大量排放黑烟……等。不过这些是大家可以一起解决，说不定可以改善地球继续暖化，例如：目的地很近的话可以骑自行车;目的地很远的话，可以搭乘公共交通运输工具;家畜的排泄物经过处理再排入河内;工厂可以建一座废弃处理厂……等。

Why carbon dioxide will increase? I think the reason is often drive, raising livestock, food factory emissions of smoke...... Etc.. But these are all can solve them together, it can improve the Earth continues to warm, for example: the destination is close enough to ride a bike; destination long enough, can take the public transport; waste livestock treated and then discharged into the Hanoi factory; to build a waste treatment plant...... Etc..

请大家不要小看二氧化碳的威力，等到海平面上升、都市浸水和农地淹没，到最后就会面临粮食不足的危机了。请大家跟我一起喊：“停止伤害地球的行为吧!我们居住的地球只有一个。”

Please do not underestimate the power of carbon dioxide, when the sea level rise, urban water and farmland submerged, eventually facing food shortage. Please call with me: "stop the harm to the earths behavior! Only one earth on which we live. "

几天前，一位学识渊博的老先生对我说：“你写的书法太过于凌乱，有些轻浮，虚出太多，实处很少，你应当学会虚实结合才对！”我茫然的点了点头，他随即就给我做示范，写下了大大的三个字“思且行”。“思”字，稳重而不呆板;“且”字，巍巍而立;“行”字，苍劲有力，如山间老松，正面朝阳。这三字，不乏浓墨之处，也略带虚笔，所谓虚实结合，恰到好处。老先生言传身教，让我领会了不少。

生活中的琐碎小事，让我一刻也不能停止思考，季羡林说人生时时、处处都得思考果然不虚。在同学、玩伴中，我自命是一个“实”的人：做事本本分分，做人实实在在。学校老师安排的任务，家里爸妈吩咐的事情，总会想着一个“实”字来解决，但也总避免不了会出差错。因此时时会有这样、那样的小烦恼。然而，想到还有比我更实的人，在做着比我更本分的事，胸中的恼怒也就少了些。

既然我看中了“实”，那就会多了些“敌人”，与实相对的就是“虚”，看中“虚”的人就不乐意我了，因为我常常堵住了他们的嘴，让他们说出些“懒得和你说！”、“和你没有共同语言”之类的触及心灵的话语。他们说多了，也很烦、很累;我听得多了，压力也大。

单说“虚”，在我心中却，没有一个明确的概念可言，若真要强加一个定义，那就用“虚假”来谈吧，说直白点就是耍小聪明、不做好自己事的人;补服从安排不务正业的人，在我心中统统都是虚假的。他们常常有办不完的事，不论是好事，或是坏事。

再者，虚假的人大都是做事前大肆渲染自己的学问有多深、才能有多高，做事时却处处抱怨外部条件，怨天尤人，总之就是做不好事。但是他们也有独特的优点，那就是适时的幼稚：校园走廊上、树荫花园边以至于教室窄窄的巷道里，总少不了有他们的欢声笑语。笑，代表了他们内心的喜悦，时时处在幸福之中，不会顾及到下一步的忧患祸福、多么天真浪漫！我羡慕他们的那种心态，而那种心态，那种感觉在几年前就远离了我。

母亲出门打工也有些岁月了，她叫我放假时去她那儿耍，我和着笑答应了。

看到母亲的那一刻，我心中不禁一颤：眉头上的皱纹增多了，面颊瘦削、泛黄。她叫我时，我分明听见了她沙哑的声音，已不再是我童真时代、教我唱《世上只有妈妈好》的音乐天使般的声音了。

她告诉我她今天只上半天班，下班很早，怕我无聊，叫我和她一块去。怀着对外面精彩世界的憧憬，我欣然去了。

我和她走进一个黑暗的幽长车间，她告诉我这就是她工作的厂房，里面充斥着一股刺鼻的油味。接着看见了一些工人在打扫厂房卫生，旁边站着一个神气的、穿着西装的中年男人，他正在厉声呵斥着，见我妈妈来了，先是责备她来晚了，若是看见哪儿没弄好，便是痛骂。妈妈对我说这就是她的生活，她已经习惯了。

我不再笑了，表情沉得跟木头似的。想起工厂的场景，不觉有些害怕。

我开始厌弃热闹，喜欢清静、独处，因为只有那个时候我才会静心思考，思考自己的得失。对于别人无端制造的笑声，我尤为憎恨、唾弃，以为是无稽的，我当然不会笑，众人就会面面相觑，猜忌我的内心，时间长了，也就明了了我。所以，他们认为我是无聊的、毫无情趣的，和我没有话说就不言而喻了，这就为我的孤独添了重重的一笔。

看见同学打成一片、笑成一团，唯独我喜欢特殊，不知自己是否落于人后。背后多有议论我古怪之类的，我也能理解。我很迷茫了：我还要坚守我的“实”吗？“虚”固然浅薄，但不可不有，“虚”人人有之，独我拒之于门外，就会有人看不起我，更不会有人理解我、懂我。若是以“实”为本质，“虚”为表现，那人们会不会透过表现看到本质呢？

还记得在书上看到了这样一句话：完美人生，应当虚实结合。现在想想，确实如此，自己还处于人生的起步，懂得也还不算太晚。

[高二年级记事作文虚与实

新学期的开始，每一位同学都会从新开始认识自己的老师，而我也不例外。

我的英语老师是一个又瘦又帅的人。他讲课时，会有几分钟的玩笑时间，所以我们班的每个同学都喜欢他的英语课，而他也不喜欢我们在他的课上表现出昏昏欲睡或者是整个班死气沉沉。如果那 样，他会很不高兴，从而不给我们讲课。

因从我们每一个人都不会这样做的，而且会紧绷着自己的神经，生怕会在他的课上犯困。但如果我们让他高兴了，他会很高兴上我们的课程，而且会给我们讲笑话，逗得我们哈哈大笑，使得课堂气 氛非常活跃。

而这就是我的英语老师。

A Happy Day

Today is Saturday， my family and I go to have a picnicin the park， I feel so excited， because our family does not have the activityfor a long time. At first， I go to see the park and play for a while， then Icome back to my parents， and join them. I play games with my parents， theylaugh happily. Today is a happy day for me.

the family had just moved to rhode island, and the young woman was feeling a little melancholy on that sunday in may. after all, it was mothers day -- and 800 miles separated her from her parents in ohio.

一家人刚移居罗德岛。5月的那个星期天， 年轻女人感到有点儿忧伤。毕竟， 这一天是母亲节─而她却与俄亥俄州的父母亲遥距800英里。

she had called her mother that morning to wish her a happy mothers day, and her mother had mentioned how colorful the yard was now that spring had arrived. as they talked, the younger woman could almost smell the tantalizing aroma of purple lilacs hanging on the big bush outside her parentsback door.

她那天早上给母亲打去电话， 祝母亲节日愉快。随后， 她的母亲向她提起， 因为春天已经来临， 所以院子里的色彩是多么绚丽。在她们通话的当儿， 年轻女人几乎可以闻到悬垂在父母亲后门外大灌木丛上的紫丁香醉人的芬芳。

later, when she mentioned to her husband how she missed those lilacs, he popped up from his chair. i know where we can find you all you want, he said. get the kids and cmon.

so off they went, driving the country roads of northern rhode island on the kind of day only mid-may can produce：sparkling sunshine, unclouded azure skies and vibrant newness of the green growing all around. they went past small villages and burgeoning housing developments, past abandoned apple orchards, back to where trees and brush have devoured old homesteads.

后来， 她向丈夫说起她是如何怀念那些紫丁香时， 他突然从椅子上跃起。我知道在哪儿能找到你想要的东西， 他说， 带上孩子， 走吧。

于是， 他们就出发了， 驱车行驶在罗德岛北部的乡村小路上， 那种天气只有5月中旬才会有：闪亮的阳光、蔚蓝色的晴空以及生机勃勃、随处可见的绿意。他们穿过一座座小村庄和一座座拔地而起的房屋， 穿过废弃的苹果园， 来到了树林和嗄敬匝谟车睦吓

where they stopped, dense thickets of cedars and ju nipers and birch crowded the roadway on both sides. there wasnt a lilac bush in sight.

come with me , the man said. over that hill is an old cellar hole, from somebodys farm of years ago, and there are lilacs all round it. the man who owns this land said i could poke around here anytime. im sure he wont mind if we pick a few lilacs.

他们停下车。车道两边长满了茂盛的雪松、杜松和白桦树。眼前没有一棵紫丁香。

随我来， 那个男人说， 翻过那座小山， 有个老地窖， 几年前是一个人的农场， 四周长满了紫丁香。这块地的主人说我可以随时到这儿来闲逛。我相信， 要是我们采几束紫丁香， 他不会介意。

before they got halfway up the hill, the fragrance of the lilacs drifted down to them, and the kids started running. soon, the mother began running, too, until she reached the top. there, far from view of passing motorists and hidden from encroaching civilization, were the towering lilacs bushes, so laden with the huge, cone-shaped flower clusters that they almost bent double. with a smile, the young woman rushed up to the nearest bush and buried her face in the flowers, drinking in the fragrance and the memories it recalled.

还没等他们到达半山腰， 紫丁香的芬芳已经向他们飘了过来。于是， 孩子们开始奔跑。不久， 那位母亲也开始跑起来， 直至到达山顶。

那里， 远离了过往司机的视野， 避开了纷扰的文明世界， 高耸的丁香花丛开满了硕大的圆锥形的串串花束， 几乎把花茎压成了两折。那个年轻女人微笑着冲到最近的一处花丛， 把脸埋在鲜花中， 啜饮着芳香， 陶醉在重新唤起的记忆中。

while the man examined the cellar hole and tried to explain to the children what the house must have looked like, the woman drifted among the lilacs. carefully, she chose a sprig here, another one there, and clipped them with her husbands pocket knife. she was in no hurry, relishing each blossom as a rare and delicate treasure. finally, though, they returned to their car for the trip home. while the kids chattered and the man drove, the woman sat smiling, surrounded by her flowers, a faraway look in her eyes.

在那个男人察看地窖试图向孩子们解释这座房子必定是什么样子的当儿， 那个女人不由自主地走进了紫丁香花丛。她小心翼翼地从这儿摘一枝， 那儿挑一束， 然后用丈夫的袖珍小刀将它们剪下来。她不慌不忙， 像欣赏稀有珍宝似地欣赏着每一朵花。

然而， 他们终于还是返回了汽车， 走上了回家的路。孩子们叽叽喳喳说个不停， 那个男人驾着车， 那个女人坐在那儿面带微笑， 她周围放满了鲜花， 眼睛里充满着向往。

when they were within three miles of home, she suddenly shouted to her husband, stop the car. stop right here! the man slammed on the brakes. before he could ask her why she wanted to stop, the woman was out of the car and hurrying up a nearby grassy slope with the lilacs still in her arms. at the top of the hill was a nursing home and, because it was such a beautiful spring day, the patients were outdoors strolling with relatives or sitting on the porch.

当他们离家不足3英里时， 她突然向丈夫大声喊道：停车， 就在这里停车!

那个男人嘎地刹住车。还没等他问为什么， 女人就已经下了车， 匆匆走向附近的草坡， 怀里仍抱着紫丁香。山顶上是一家疗养院， 因为这是一个美丽的春日， 所以病人正在室外和亲友溜达或坐在门廊上。

the young woman went to the end of the porch, where an elderly patient was sitting in her wheelchair, alone, head bowed, her back to most of the others. across the porch railing went the flowers, in to the lap of the old woman. she lifted her head, and smiled. for a few moments, the two women chatted, both aglow with happiness, and then the young woman turned and ran back to her family. as the car pulled away, the woman in the wheelchair waved, and clutched the lilacs.

那个年轻女人走到门廊的尽头， 只见那里有一个上了年纪的病人正坐在轮椅里， 独自一人， 低着头， 背对着其他人。年轻女人越过门廊栏杆， 将鲜花放在了老太太的膝间。老太太抬起头， 露出了笑脸。两个女人聊了一会儿， 都兴高采烈。随后， 那个年轻女人转身跑回到家人的身边。当汽车开动时， 坐在轮椅里的那个女人挥动着手， 手里紧紧地握着那束紫丁香花。

mom, the kids asked, who was that?why did you give her our flowers?is she somebodys mother?the mother said she didnt know the old woman. but it was mothers day, and she seemed so alone, and who wouldnt be cheered by flowers?besides, she added, i have all of you, and i still have my mother, even if she is far away. that woman needed those flowers more than i did.

this satisfied the kids, but not the husband. the next day he purchased half a dozen young lilacs bushes and planted them around their yard, and several times since then he has added more.

妈妈， 孩子们问， 那人是谁呀?你为什么把我们的花送给她?她是谁的母亲呀?他们的母亲说， 她不认识那个老太太， 但今天是母亲节， 她看起来是那么孤独， 而鲜花会给任何人带来好心情。再说， 她补充道， 我拥有你们， 而且我还有自己的母亲， 即使她离我很远。那个女人比我更需要那些鲜花。

孩子们得到了满意的答案， 但她的丈夫却没有。第二天， 他买了半打紫丁香幼苗， 栽到了院子四周;而且从那以后， 每隔一段时间， 他就会增加一些。

i was that man. the young mother was, and is, my wife. now, every may, our own yard is redolent with lilacs. every mothers day our kids gather purple bouquets. and every year i remember that smile on a lonely old womans face, and the kindness that put the smile there.

我就是那个男人， 那个年轻母亲是我妻子。如今， 每年5月， 我们自家的院子都会散发出浓烈的紫丁香的芬芳。每逢母亲节， 我们的孩子都要采撷紫丁香花束。而且每年我都会记起一位孤独的老太太脸上露出的笑容， 以及笑容里呈现出的那种慈祥。

During the 15 days from New Year’s Eve to Lantern Festival, Beijing was

affected by smog for more than half the time, because of which people suffered a

lot. On the road people drove slowly because they could not see clearly. People

also suffered from many illnesses caused by smog.

The smog in Beijing has been caused by many factors, in which the increase

of cars in the city area plays an important role. The carssend off a lot of

poisonous gases, which in turn adds to the already seriousair pollution.

In my opinion, the number of cars should be limited.We should call on the

people to use more public transport. Only in this way canwe expect to have more

sunny days.
