读了《中外名人故事》这本书，我了解世界上一些著名的科学家与书画家等等，最让我难忘的是牛顿，他是一位英国人，1643年出生，他是一位著名的物理学家，他从小就是一位爱思考、做事认真的人。

有一次，牛顿请朋友到家里吃饭，可是当牛顿把饭菜摆放好时，朋友还没有来，于是牛顿心想，他们还没有来，我去做做实验吧。他飞快的跑到实验室，开始工作。过了一会，他的朋友到齐了，朋友也不忍心打扰他，便自己吃起来，饭菜全吃光了，可是牛顿还没有出来，朋友只好离去。到了晚上，牛顿的实验做完了，肚子也咕咕叫起来，牛顿走到桌前，看到被吃过的骨头，拍拍头说：“原来我已经吃过呀!”他早把和朋友吃放的事情忘得一干二净。

读完这个故事，我觉得我要向牛顿学习，学习他那珍惜时间的精神，更要学习他做事的专心。更能让我懂得什么是真正的认真，当我平时随便写一下作业，随便看看书，这都不叫认真，真正的认真是为了一件事而努力去做，做到最好，任何外界事情也干扰不了。生活在当今时代的我们更要做任何事情都要认真，专心，这样才能学到真正学到知识，将来才能有所成就，才能为国家做出更大的贡献。

Today, I did housework for grandmother. She is not

very healthy and I decide to do housework for her more frequently. And she will

feel happy and become better. Suddenly, an idea hit me that it’s terrible to

grow old becuase you have to worry about both your health and others’ opinions.

Once again, I make a decision to be a good girl.

译文：今天，我帮助了奶奶做家务。奶奶的身体不好。我以后要常帮她做事。这样她就会高兴身体也会好一些。突然觉得，人老了真不好。不但身体不会好，而且一不小心就会惹得大家讨厌。我又做了一个决定，以后一定要做个乖孩子。

今天，我在小名堂写作班图书柜上拿了一本书看，书名叫《中外名人故事》。其中有篇文章《发明留声机的爱迪生》深深吸引了我。文章中写道，爱迪生在调试电话时注意到声音的强弱与传话器模板的颤动程度有关，经过多次实验后，便发明了留声机。

爱迪生从生活的实践中发现声音强弱与颤动程度的关系后，便有了一个大胆的设想：既然说话能使模板振动，那这种振动也可以发出原来的声音。于是，他产生了发明一种留住声音的机器。在他的努力钻研下，一种会说话的机器——留声机问世了，这在当时被誉为世界上最伟大的发明。

生活中的一个细节，让爱迪生萌生了发明留声机的想法，从这里可以看出，爱迪生善于观察和思考，从而激发起创作的兴趣，最终发明留声机，方便了人们的生活。

其实，我们生活中用到的许多东西，都是人们仔细观察并刻苦钻研的结果。如鲁班被长满了锋利的齿的一种草割破手指，经过多次试验后发明了锯子；瓦特通过煮饭蒸汽顶开锅盖而发明了蒸汽机；牛顿看到苹果落地，发现了万有引力定律……这些发明和发现，都来源于实际生活，这说明知识都藏在万物中，就看我们有没有用心去观察和思考。正是因为他们善于观察和思考，从一些现象总结规律，并想办法如何利用这些规律，才有了这些发明和发现。反过来讲，如果对这些现象熟视无睹，不仔细看，不认真想，不动手做，人类怎么可能会有这么多发明和发现呢？

爱迪生等人的事例告诉我们，知识的源泉就是生活。因此，我们在生活中要善于观察和思考。生活的纷繁差异，自然界的神奇不可思议，还有许多的奥秘等着我们去解开。

我觉得，我们要向爱迪生学习。学习他这种对万物充满好奇的心，对事物的现象多问几个为什么，不怕苦不怕累，不断探寻知识的海洋。

Holiday nearly comes to the ead now. I am very happy because I have already

finished my homework. I also helped my mother with some housework this summer

holiday. I believe I have grown up now and should know what I should be in the

future. I will try harder to study well and be a good person.

假期很快过去了。我很开心因为我已经做完作业了。我还帮妈妈所了家务。我想我已经长大了，应该长大将来要做什么。我要更努力学习，将来做个好人。

撒哈拉，一个地处北非的沙漠，这儿只有炽热、刺眼的阳光和干旱的沙土，人们称之为“死亡沙漠”。但有一个人，用笔写出了这里独特的美丽，和纯朴的人们。他就是三毛。她写的《撒哈拉的故事》由十七篇短文组成，记录了她与她的爱人——荷西在撒哈拉里发生的趣事。这本书没有华丽的修辞，也没有精彩的情节，但它用却用最平凡的语句把“纯朴”展现得淋漓尽致。

书中最令我难忘的章节，是那一篇《结婚记》这篇文章记录了荷西与三毛结婚仪式的整个过程。结婚前，三毛在最后一个单身夜只是想着回去装桌子，做窗帘；结婚时，她甚至因为在场人太多而紧张；结婚后，原本可以住国家旅馆，但她却回了家，只因为住一晚国家旅馆的钱可以买一星期的菜。这整片文章都透露这两个字——“简朴”。

这篇文章中，荷西、荷西同事送的礼物最令我印象深刻。这两件礼物，在三毛眼里，一个是“真豪华，真豪华”的骆驼头骨，一个是“太幸福了”的沙漠中的奶油蛋糕，这足以表达出三毛的知足和纯朴

面对这些，我不禁扪心自问，在这这个物质横飞的世界，我们是否能抵抗得住物质的诱惑？在这些诱惑前全身而退呢？也许有人会说：“简朴不能当饭吃，简朴不能当钱花，又要简朴有什么用？”我却想说，虽然简朴不能当饭吃，不能当钱花，但它能净化我们的心灵，面对名利，金钱的诱惑能全身而退，不深陷泥潭，这难道不够吗？

“天下之事，常成于勤俭而败于奢靡。”不错，在这世界上，我们应当简朴，这样，才能不陷入那些奢侈、奢靡的泥潭。

《百万英镑》这部小说你有看过吗?下面是为大家带来的英语读后感，欢迎参考选择。

Mark Twains short story of "one million pounds" is a very good work. The article on the "money is everything," "money is omnipotent," the idea of a satire, to expose the ugly face of capitalist society.

"One million pounds" is about a poor, honest man, that is, the *** of this story has received a pair of brothers, the letter sent to him inside one million pounds. The brothers had made a bet, gambling, if a poor, honest people who come knocking on the door received the one million pounds, he will be what kind of results? Brother that he would starve to death because he could not prove that the money was his own, will be subject to other peoples doubts, and even the banks do not let him save money. His younger brother that he would lead a very good, and therefore they have the brothers of one million pounds will be loaned to check the poorest people, and spent 30 days abroad. Did not expect that during this period of time, people have the rare fortune suddenly rich, has tried to cozy up to him, from the free food, buy clothes, free accommodation, like a beggar, like to please him, and continue to improve his social status until the exception of the highest outdoor Wang Duke on! Not only that, he also has been a good wife and 30,000 pounds of bank interest, and finally from two brothers got a very good job. Lived a very, very happy life.

See here, I am so envious of the "lucky" ***, but at the same time I would like to: people reason to curry favor with him, not just because when people value money too it? Worship of money is shameful and should not be reaping more! Money is not omnipotent, the world than money, there are many more important things ... ...

马克吐温著的短篇小说《百万英镑》是一部很好的作品。文章对“金钱就是一切”“金钱是万能的”的想法进行了讽刺，揭穿了资本主义社会的丑恶面容。

《百万英镑》是讲一个贫穷、诚实的人，也就是这个故事的主人公收到了一对兄弟的信，信里面送给了他一百万英镑。原来这对兄弟打了一个赌，赌假如一个贫穷、诚实的人收到天上掉下的一百万英镑，他会有怎样的结果?哥哥以为他会饿死，因为他无法证明这些钱是他自己的，会受到别人的怀疑，连银行都不会让他存钱。弟弟则以为他会过得很好，于是他们兄弟俩将一百万英镑的支票借给了这个贫穷的人，并出国呆了三十天。没想到在这段时间内，人们对这位突然暴富的罕见富翁，竟拼命地拉拢他，从免费吃饭，买衣服，到免费住宿，一个个像乞丐一样讨好他，并不断提高他的社会地位，一直到了除王室外最高的公爵之上!期末总结不光如此，他还得到了一位好妻子和三万英镑的银行利息，最后还从两兄弟那儿得到了一份很好的工作。过着非常非常幸福的生活。

看到这儿，我很羡慕这位如此“幸运”的主人公，但同时我又想：人们之所以讨好他，不就是因为当时人们太看重金钱了吗?拜金主义是可耻的，不劳而获更不应该!金钱不是万能的，世界上还有很多比金钱更重要的东西……

Jerry was the kind of guy you love to hate. He was always in a good mood and always had something positive to say. When someone would ask him how he was doing, he would reply, "If I were any better, I would be twins!"

He was a unique manager because he had several waiters who had followed him around from restaurant to restaurant. The reason the waiters followed Jerry was because of his attitude. He was a natural motivator. If an employee was having a bad day, Jerry was there telling the employee how to look on the positive side of the situation.

Seeing this really made me curious, so one day I went up to Jerry and asked him, "I don‘t get it! You can‘t be a positive person all of the time. How do you do it?" Jerry replied, "Each morning I wake up and say to myself, Jerry, you have two choices today. You can choose to be in a good mood or you can choose to be in a bad mood.‘ I choose to be in a good mood. Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or I can choose to learn from it. I choose to learn from it. Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept their complaining or I can point out the positive side of life. I choose the positive side of life."

"Yeah, right, it‘s not that easy," I protested.

"Yes it is," Jerry said. "Life is all about choices. When you cut away all the junk, every situation is a choice. You choose how you react to situations. You choose how people will affect your mood. You choose to be in a good mood or bad mood. The bottom line: It‘s your choice how you live life."

I reflected on what Jerry said. Soon thereafter, I left the restaurant industry to start my own business. We lost touch, but often thought about him when I made a choice about life instead of reacting to it.

Several years later, I heard that Jerry did something you are never supposed to do in a restaurant business: he left the back door open one morning and was held up at gunpoint by three armed robbers. While trying to open the safe, his hand, shaking from nervousness, slipped off the combination. The robbers panicked and shot him. Luckily, Jerry was found relatively quickly and rushed to the local trauma center. After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of intensive care, Jerry was released from the hospital with fragments of the bullets still in his body.

I saw Jerry about six months after the accident. When I asked him how he was, he replied, "If I were any better, I‘d be twins. Wanna see my scars?"

I declined to see his wounds, but did ask him what had gone through his mind as the robbery took place. "The first thing that went through my mind was that I should have locked the back door," Jerry replied. "Then, as I lay on the floor, I remembered that I had two choices: I could choose to live, or I could choose to die. I chose to live.

"Weren‘t you scared? Did you lose consciousness?" I asked. Jerry continued, "The paramedics were great. They kept telling me I was going to be fine. But when they wheeled me into the emergency room and I saw the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared. In their eyes, I read, ‘He‘s a dead man. " I knew I needed to take action."

"What did you do?" I asked.

"Well, there was a big, burly nurse shouting questions at me," said Jerry. "She asked if I was allergic to anything. ‘Yes,‘ I replied. The doctors and nurses stopped working as they waited for my reply.. I took a deep breath and yelled, ‘Bullets!‘ Over their laughter, I told them, ‘I am choosing to live. Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead."

Jerry lived thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude. I learned from him that every day we have the choice to live fully. Attitude, after all, is everything.

In the secret garden of the little hero named Marie, is a plain, secret garden. Irascibility。 In a plague, her father and mother were taken to life in a plague, and she became an orphan.

If I were Marie, I will be more hate a person or thing of all, because in the family, my father is a day home, and my mother would go every day to participate in a variety of dance, do not care about my existence, living in such a family, I feel lonely gradually withdrawn, who would not be like this?

Because of him, the appearance of this book makes me understand that friendship can change everything, even my own life.

I love this book the secret garden, but hope to have Deakin as precious friendship, my life is full of sunshine, joy.

Christmas， annual Christian holiday commemorating the birth of Jesus Christ。 Most members of the Roman Catholic Church and followers of Protestantism celebrate Christmas on December 25， and many celebrate on the evening of December 24 as well。 Members of the Eastern Orthodox Church usually delay their most important seasonal ceremonies until January 6， when they celebrate Epiphany， a commemoration of the baptism of Jesus。 Epiphany also traditionally commemorates the arrival of the Three Wise Men of the East in Bethlehem （near Jerusalem， Israel）， where they adored the infant Jesus and presented him with gifts of gold， frankincense， and myrrh。 The official Christmas season， popularly known as either Christmastide or the Twelve Days of Christmas， extends from the anniversary of Christ’s birth on December 25 to the feast of Epiphany on January 6。  Christmas is based on the story of Jesus’ birth as described in the Gospel according to Matthew （see Matthew 1：18—2：12） and the Gospel according to Luke （see Luke 1：26—56）。 Roman Catholics first celebrated Christmas， then known as the Feast of the Nativity， as early as 336 ad。 The word Christmas entered the English language sometime around 1050 as the Old English phrase Christes maesse， meaning festival of Christ。 Scholars believe the frequently used shortened form of Christmas—Xmas—may have come into use in the 13th century。 The X stands for the Greek letter chi， an abbreviation of Khristos （Christ）， and also represents the cross on which Jesus was crucified。

12月25日，是基督教徒纪念耶稣诞生的日子，称为圣诞节。从12月24日于翌年1月6日为圣诞节节期。节日期间，各国基督教徒都举行隆重的纪念仪式。圣诞节本来是基督教徒的节日，由于人们格外重视，它便成为一个全民性的节日，是西方国家一年中最盛大的节日，可以和新年相提并论，类似我国过春节。西方人以红、绿、白三色为圣诞色，圣诞节来临时家家户户都要用圣诞色来装饰。红色的有圣诞花和圣诞蜡烛。绿色的是圣诞树。它是圣诞节的主要装饰品，用砍伐来的杉、柏一类呈塔形的常青树装饰而成。上面悬挂着五颜六色的彩灯、礼物和纸花，还点燃着圣诞蜡烛。红色与白色相映成趣的是圣诞老人，他是圣诞节活动中最受欢迎的人物。西方儿童在圣诞夜临睡之前，要在壁炉前或枕头旁放上一只袜子，等候圣诞老人在他们入睡后把礼物放在袜子内。在西方，扮演圣诞老人也是一种习俗。

Read "one man to cherish life", so I know life is everywhere, everywhere, life is so precious! With life, there is competition and struggle; with life, there will be happiness and sadness; with life, there is hope and ideals, with life, only to cherish life.

Jack Londons love of life tells a story about life. The works show that the strong breath of nature, brave and adventurous romantic spirit, strong will and to "live" deeply attracted me, reading people excited: a western American prospectors friend cruel abandoned was on his way back, he walked alone in the vast on the moor. The winter approached, and the cold wind caught him with snow, and he had no more food, and his legs were hurt, his shoes were broken, his feet were bleeding. He can only waiwaixiexie to stumble in the swamp covered hills, stream of wasteland, very difficult to move forward. Even at the end of the day, he had to climb forward. Just after his body was very weak and fainted, his danger came! He met a wolf who was equally hungry! The sick wolf followed him closely, licking his blood. In this way, a fierce battle between life and death began! Two dying creatures dragged their dying bodies and hunted each other in the wilderness. In order to go back alive, in order to overcome this horse he sick sick wolf, although the disease is still exhausted, hungry and exhausted all efforts in unarmed combat killed a wolf, the wolfs blood to drink. Finally, by the wilderness of ice and snow, he came to the beach and was rescued by a whale ship.

The novel clearly shows a man in the wilderness through the difficult process of survival, quietly portrays life great and powerful, is a celebration of life. "Love of life" by readers of the Blitz, is not accidental, because we can see from the face of harsh environment peoples indomitable will, dare to challenge and go beyond the limit of life, to create a miracle of life. Especially people fight in bed and illness, from which we can draw the power of life. Like the hero of the book, never give up, never give up, life strangling the throat, become a powerful life.

Ostrovsky once said: "the most precious thing is life.". Life belongs to man only once." Yes, how sacred and precious life is. However, in real life, some people lament, people complain that Life is but a dream. Born Under A Bad Sign, I do not intend to live, more people say life is painful and boring, even some people because a little small setbacks on the yield. Self abandonment, mediocrity in life.

Yeah! Life is your own, we can make it valuable, also can make it valuable, also can make it intense darkness without light. Therefore, we should be responsible for ourselves, we should cherish life, let the limited life to create unlimited glory!

I think this book is worthy to reading, it make us cherish our life.

加勒比海的一次暴风雨中，八名水兵落水失踪。路易斯作为被发现的幸存者而扬名获利，成为爱国的表率性人物。后，与作者所在的报纸社共同将政府蓄意隐瞒该驱逐舰倾覆的真正原因是走私超载而并非暴风雨的事实揭露给社会。从此开始与政客斗智斗勇。在政府倒台后隐于市野。

近年来相关此类的书籍电影颇多。而政府威信与百姓利益乃至生命之间的矛盾也日益加剧。

这让我想到电影《火星救援》中的片段。主人公被遗弃在火星，即便是奇迹般生还，地球上的nasa仍宣布他已经死亡。在获救那一刻，他的生命才被公诸于世。书中政府的举动与电影中如出一辙。

再如，地震局并不会轻易将地震预报发出。原因是地震预报大多有偏差。然而某几次地震发生时，无数生灵灭亡的原因就是缺那黄金的几秒钟逃生时间。

“记者们炸开了锅，争相抢占独家新闻，但官方早已全面封锁了他住的医院，后来被获准进行的采访与报道都无聊至极。显然，官方试图打造一位英雄，了不起的海难幸存者，满足一下大众的好奇心和崇拜感，然后就让这件事赶紧翻篇。尽管大家知道事情没有那么简单，却也无法突破官方划定的界限。”因为在缺乏物资的逃生木筏上呆了十天，就成为英雄。先不提路易斯接受利益和官方说辞主动与否，书中略带感情色彩的只这一句：“我只是一个努力想要活下来的人。”不论在现实险境还是抽象的暗流之中，他都只是想要保全自己，而这正合了政府的心意。

然而弱者的叙述就一定真实吗？书中拨丝抽茧可知，正因报社的揭露，社会动荡，随之原政府被推翻。新政客们笑而替之。而路易斯这样一个爱财贪生之人，为何在政府的威逼利诱下都绝不改口？百足之虫死而不僵，他又如何在这样的乱世之中保全自己直至年老再一次被作者发现？

政府威信与个别人物的身家利益，孰轻孰重，一千个哈姆雷特的事三言两语怎能判断。自知没有那轰轰烈烈自毁雕塑的命，但求在历史演进的种种转折点上，看得清楚暗流涌动，乐得明白风平浪静。莫要被当作书中只因一份报刊就“义愤填膺不自知”才好。

Published in 1847, Wuthering Heights was not well received by the reading public, many of whom condemned it as sordid, vulgar, and unnatural--and author Emily Bronte went to her grave in 1848 believing that her only novel was a failure. It was not until 1850, when Wuthering Heights received a second printing with an introduction by Emilys sister Charlotte, that it attracted a wide readership. And from that point the reputation of the book has never looked back. Today it is widely recognized as one of the GREat novels of English literature.

Even so, Wuthering Heights continues to divide readers. It is not a pretty love story; rather, it is swirling tale of largely unlikeable people caught up in obsessive love that turns to dark madness. It is cruel, violent, dark and brooding, and many people find it extremely unpleasant. And yet--it possesses a grandeur of language and design, a sense of tremendous pity and GREat loss that sets it apart from virtually every other novel written.

The novel is told in the form of an extended FLASHback. After a visit to his strange landlord, a newcomer to the area desires to know the history of the family--which he receives from Nelly Deans, a servant who introduces us to the Earnshaw family who once resided in the house known as Wuthering Heights. It was once a cheerful place, but Old Earnshaw adopted a "Gipsy" child who he named Heathcliff. And Catherine, daughter of the house, found in him the perfect companion: wild, rude, and as proud and cruel as she. But although Catherine loves him, even recognizes him as her soulmate, she cannot lower herself to marry so far below her social station. She instead marries another, and in so doing sets in motion an obsession that will destroy them all.

Wuthering Heights is a bit difficult to "get into;" the opening chapters are so dark in their portrait of the end result of this obsessive love that they are somewhat off-putting. But they feed into the flow of the work in a remarkable way, setting the stage for one of the most remarkable structures in all of literature, a story that circles upon itself in a series of repetitions as it plays out across two generations. Catherine and Heathcliff are equally remarkable, both vicious and cruel, and yet never able to shed their impossible love no matter how brutally one may wound the other.

As the novel coils further into alcoholism, seduction, and one of the most elaborately imagined plans of revenge it gathers into a ghostly tone: Heathcliff, driven to madness by a woman who is not there but who seems reflected in every part of his world--dragging her corpse from the grave, hearing her calling to him from the moors, escalating his brutality not for the sake of brutality but so that her memory will never fade, so that she may never leave his mind until death itself. Yes, this is madness, insanity, and there is no peace this side of the grave or even beyond.

It is a stunning novel, frightening, inexorable, unsettling, filled with unbridled passion that makes one cringe. Even if you do not like it, you should read it at least once--and those who do like it will return to it again and again.

Protecting the Environment

In the last several decades, our earth has been extremely polluted, such as air pollution, water pollution, noise pollution and so on. In recent years, the extreme weather becomes more and more frequent. Winter gets colder and summer becomes hotter and it rains more frequently. All of these warn us that protecting the environment is a serious and emergent event. As our general people, we should build proper lifestyle. We should pay attention to water and light saving. When we go out, we should firstly choose the public transportation. The most important is that we must realize that we can do a lot of things to protect our environment. Its our duty to make our home better. Let’s change from ourselves.
