Keller handicap but dont give up life, dont give up learning finally become a useful person, but there are normal, live in happiness, but I dont cherish, is back in trouble, dont work hard finally accomplish nothing.

海伦。凯勒是20世纪美国着名的盲聋女作家，她有着悲惨命运，但她凭借着坚强的意志考入了哈弗大学，成为世界上第一个完成大学教育的盲聋人。她对未来充满想象，虽然自己是残疾人，但是她并没有自卑，反而更加努力地去学习，坚强的去面对生活中的各种困难，终于实现了自己的梦想。

《假如给我三天光明》这本书深深打动着我，在生活中也有许多像海伦。凯勒虽然身残但是都不放弃生活，不放弃学习最后成为一个有用的人，但是也有虽然是正常人，生活在幸福中，但却不珍惜，不努力遇到困难就退缩，最后一事无成的人。

现在我们的学习条件是多么好，有着一双明亮的眼睛，有着一双灵敏地耳朵，有着宽敞明亮的教室，有着很好的老师，可是总是有一些人不珍惜，浪费每一天。

这本书告述我们，当我们遇到困难时，不要被困难打到，要勇敢面对，不要因为一时的挫折就灰心，应该通过自己地努力去战胜困难，实现自己的理想。

How can such a little boy who had already suffered oppressive affliction remain pure in body and mind? The reason is the nature of goodness. I think it is the most important information implied in the novel by Dickens-he believed that goodnecould conquer every difficulty. Although I don’t think goodneis omnipotent yet I do believe that those who are kind-hearted live more happily than those who are evil-minded.

For me the nature of goodneis one of the most necessary character for a person. Goodneis to humans what water is to fish. He who is without goodneis an utterly worthleperson. On the contrary as the famous saying goes ‘The fragrance always stays in the hand that gives the rose’ he who is with goodneundoubtedly is a happy and useful person. People receiving his help are grateful to him and he also gets gratified from what he has done and thus he can do good to both the people he has helped and himself.

To my disappointment nowadays some people seem to doubt the existence of the goodnein humanity. They look down on people’s honesty and kindness thinking it foolish of people to be warm-hearted. As a result they show no sympathy to those who are in trouble and seldom offer to help others. On the other hand they attach importance to money and benefit. In their opinion money is the only real object while emotions and morality are nihility. If they cannot get profit from showing their ‘kindness’ they draw back when others are faced with trouble and even hit a man when he is down. They are one of the sorts that I really detest.

Francis Bacon said in his essay ‘Goodness of all virtues and dignities of the mind is the greatest being the character of the Deity and without it man is a busy mischievous wretched thing no better than a kind of vermin.’

Jane Eyre is a portrait of Charlotte Brontes poetic life. It is a work with autobiographical color. It tells a story of an English woman who has become an orphan since childhood. She always pursues freedom and dignity in all kinds of hardships, insists on herself, and finally gets happiness. From this we can see that the frustrations and pains of life are clouds. Persistence is the key. Victory lies not in the result, but in the spirit. Like Charlotte and Jane Eyre, there is the mental quality of perseverance and struggle against pain. Gain strength, raise self. Let yourself have the courage to open up. Be bold in making progress. Go up the higher steps.

Jane Eyre, the heroine, was a pure and thoughtful woman. She lived in the bottom of society and suffered all kinds of hardships. But she has a stubborn personality and the courage to pursue equality and happiness. With rich lyrical writing and deep and delicate psychological description, the novel exhibits fascinating and tortuous love experiences of the hero and heroine, and celebrates the freedom from all old customs and prejudices. On the basis of mutual understanding and mutual respect is rooted in the deep love, with a strong shock of the mind force. The most successful thing is to create a woman who dares to resist and dare to strive for freedom and peace. The parents died of typhoid fever and died one month later. The young Jane Eyre was raised at the uncles parents house. Uncle Mr. Reed died in the red house after Jane loved XX times subjected to discrimination and abuse of life. On one occasion, Jane was locked up in the red house because of his cousins assault. Physical pain and spiritual humiliation and fear caused her to suffer a serious illness.

The trials of thousands of setbacks have created our persistent character, forged our strong will, trained our excellent skills and paved the way for our success. In the setback, we save a little bit of strength, step by step towards brilliant. Let us full of "fate by the throat" of the lofty sentiments and aspirations! Challenge setbacks and overcome setbacks!

The confusion was going on, the rebellion was on, the search was taking place, and Jane and Mrs. finally walked into the church school under the bullying of Mrs. Reed and John. But the pain is there, there are many essential things, there are many hidden in the undercurrent of life still need to face the pain. The plight of life, the departure of a good friend, and the public denunciation from Mr. Blok Hester all made her feel the foul air and the pain of the heart in the confused life. Life was at last a progress, and God was a little merciful. In the church school, two years of teacher life was probably a calm backwater for jane. However, in not cheerful, quiet life, but permeated with her strong sense of loneliness and fear, she needs is in the real life of confusion in the free and run, free, cheerful and love.

A strong, simple, rigid and flexible, independent, aggressive woman. She was humble and homely, but she didnt feel inferior. Her contempt for the arrogance of power, laugh at their stupidity, show of self-reliance and good ideal personality. She has a tenacious vitality, never bow to fate.

Once saw a sentence in a certain place: "where the heart is, Su Li in the past, life is like a journey, a reed in the air." Janes life is like a lonely boat, walking in the boundless tempestuous waves, with her strong defeated fate, to win their own sky!

[英语作文简爱读后感

Recently, I have reading the book "Jane Eyre”。 Although I forgot some details in the book, Jane gave me deeply impression, I admire her very much. After that the teacher also told us to put the play in to a movie, and then we all can touch each hero’s soul in the book. The play it mainly tell us how Jane is growing up when suffering from great difficulties and painless. whats more, it is impressed me that she still love her master even if he is blind at last due to rescue his mad wife.

And I like the Classic lines what Jane said to Mr. Rochester ："Do you think I can stay to become nothing to you? Do you think I am an automaton?--a machine without feelings? and can bear to have my morsel of bread snatched from my lips, and my drop of living water dashed from my cup? Do you think, because I am poor, obscure, plain, and little, I am soulless and heartless? You think wrong!--I have as much soul as you,--and full as much heart! And if God had gifted me with some beauty and much wealth, I should have made it as hard for you to leave me, as it is now for me to leave you.

I am not talking to you now through the medium of custom, conventionalities, nor even of mortal flesh;--it is my spirit that addresses your spirit; just as if both had passed through the grave, and we stood at Gods feet, equal,--as we are!" its so beautiful, Jane is a girl who will never lose confidence in life and always sensible when handling with some motional problems. Jane was huge in my heart. She can control her life and fate. She knew how to continue her life and she got it!

Maybe after what she told me I have known that what love is and how to love and to be loved! The book is a book worth of reading, so all in all let’s enjoy it.

The Old Man and the Sea is one of Hemingways most enduring works and may very well become one of the true classics of this generation. It played a great part in his winning the Pulizer Prize in 1953 and the 1954 Novel Prize for Literature and confirmed his power and presence in the literary world. Hemingway is also one of my favorite writers. Besides The Old Man And the Sea, I have read some of his other works, such as The Sun Also Rises, A Farewell to Arms and The Snow of Kilimanijaro. But The Old Man and the Sea is the one that left the deepest impression on me.

I first read this book when I was in my fifteens. And now I remember it just as well as if I had read it yesterday.

《老人与海》是海明威最不朽的作品之一，很可能成为这一代人的经典杰作之一。在他赢得了奖1953和1954部小说文学奖起到了重要作用，证实了他的力量和在文学世界的存在。海明威也是我最喜欢的作家之一。除了老人和大海，我看过他的一些其他作品，如太阳照常升起，永别了武器和Kilimanijaro雪。但是老人和大海是留给我印象最深的。

我第一次读这本书时，我十五。现在我还记得它，就像我昨天读过它一样。

读后感

今年暑假，我在美国著名作家海明威的小说《老人与海》中学习，。我很佩服小说中的老渔夫的意志，他让我明白了一个人必须有坚持不懈的精神，才能成功。小说所描述的是一个几乎六十岁的老渔夫，一次出海和钓鱼时，有一对大鱼，但不能画。经过艰苦的渔民和鱼类社会化了几天，才发现这是一个大玛琳的鱼超过几次自己的渔船，虽然明知这是很难赢得，不放弃了。因为大玛琳鱼伤口上的鱼腥味引来了几群鲨鱼争夺食物以后再，但老人仍不愿就这样放弃，最终突出重围，将大鱼带回了渔港，让其他渔夫佩服不已。老渔夫认为，当我读到：“这里离海岸实在是太近了，也许在更远的地方会有更大的鱼时，......”十分佩服这位老渔夫，因为他已经打到了一些鱼在这一刻，我，但是他不满意现有的事态，而是向着更大的目标前进。再次见到我们，在平凡的时候遇到一些小困难，我们都在抱怨。我们是祖国的未来，应该像这个老人一样雄心勃勃，去追求更好，更大的目标。当我读到“大玛琳鱼是它把小渔船游动，将缆绳缠绕到了桅杆的快速开始，老人右手高举着钢叉，跳出来，让它在尽最上面的水，一声哀鸣结束了大鱼的生命，它静静地浮在水面上......”时，我的心也像一块大石头落了。我佩服那种老人的恐惧，坚持不懈的精神，虽然知道对手的实力很强，但他根本没有退缩，遇到困难。正因为有这种精神，老渔夫才获得了生死之争的胜利。我们在生活中也要学习老渔夫的精神，做事不怕困难，才能取得成功。读大血腥味的一个鲨鱼进攻的味道，争先恐后地游来抢食，老人的左手正好在抽筋，他只能使用右手，可以用来攻击的武器保护自己用棍子，剑鱼，抓住一切口，并赶走了这群鲨鱼最后。但大鱼的肉已经被吃了一大半，但老人批评自己的左手“当工作的时候休息”的幽默，我被老人的乐观精神压抑的太。在生活中，有些损失是不可避免的，我们应该对待乐观的态度，不必担心小的利益或损失。最后，小说看到一个十几岁的老渔夫有18尺长的大长玛琳的鱼在宽容中，描述了这条鱼的巨大又一次，证明老渔夫克服的困难比平常大。老渔夫的精神，努力奋斗无所畏惧危险和困难的小说歌颂了，我们也应该像他那样，不能满足于现状，应该积极向上，做任何事都要坚持不懈，决不能半途而废，遇到困难要迎困难。只有这样，我们才能取得更大的成功和胜利。

After reading this novel, I think the person should be honest, honest, difficult to calm, calm analysis, and try to solve the problem, after we failed in the exam, we should also take more diligent, dont discouragement, strive for better results, if able to overcome difficulties, on the road to success, it is a matter of epic.

《汤姆·索亚历险记》是美国著名小说家马克·吐温的代表作，小说主人公汤姆·索亚天真活泼，敢于探险、追求自由，不堪忍受束缚个性、枯燥乏味的生活，幻想干一番英雄事业。

汤姆幼年双亲去世，由波莉姨妈收养。聪明顽皮的汤姆受不了波莉姨妈和学校老师的管束，常常逃学。一天深夜，他与好朋友哈克贝利·费恩到墓地试试胆量，可是无意中目睹了一起凶杀案的发生。还有一次，汤姆、哈克带着乔·哈波一起逃到一座荒岛上做起了“海盗”，弄得家里以为他们去世了，结果他们却出现在了自己的“葬礼”上。从他们在困难中表现出正直和勇敢，在平时生活中聪明活泼，幼稚而又认真的言行，给我留下了深刻的印象。

读了这本小说后，我觉得做人应该要正直，诚实，遇到困难要镇定自若，冷静分析，并尝试勇于解决问题，在我们考试失败后，我们也要多加勤奋，不要灰心气馁，争取更好的成绩，如果能够克服到困难，走向成功，这可是一件可歌可泣的事情。汤姆在充满阳光的世界里，告诉我们只要有欢乐，有梦想，美梦便可成真。终有一天，我们的天性可以自由自在地发挥，创造出一片属于我们自己的梦幻天地。

所以童年时期特别宝贵，不过人总要向前望，我相信，接下来的日子一定会更充实，更充满活力。

读完《春》这篇文章，我深有感触，春天就是一个起点，只要你起跑很完美，未来就无限美好。“盼望着，盼望着，东风来了，春天的脚步近了。一切都像刚睡醒的样子，欣欣然张开了眼。山朗润起来了，水涨起来了，太阳的脸红起来了——春天像健壮的青年，有铁一般的胳膊和腰脚，他领着我们上前去”。多么有诗意的一篇散文啊!春天是万物复苏的季节，春天是草长莺飞、百花盛开的季节，春天是生机勃勃的季节。

读完这篇文章，我不禁被作者出神入化的写作手法所迷住，好像被带到了世外桃源一样。嫩嫩的、绿绿的的小草布满了田野里，孩子们在无忧无虑地玩耍着。桃树、杏树、梨树都开满了花赶趟儿。千姿百态的花儿散落在草地上，像眼睛，像星星，还眨呀眨的。“吹面不寒杨柳风”，风像母亲一样抚摸你，还夹杂着泥土、青草、花儿的气息。雨是春天最寻常的，像牛毛、像花针，唤醒万物……

“一年之计在于春”，春天可以使人精神焕发。春天是一个开始，刚起头儿，有的是工夫，有的是希望，春天像刚落地的娃娃，从头到脚都是新的，它生长着;春天像小姑娘，花枝招展，笑着，走着，抓住春天这一时机，继续向新一阶段前进，只要肯努力，成功就是你的!以前的挫败和失落都被春风吹走，向你迎面走来的是新的开始，以前的一切早已成为历史。春天就是一条起跑线，努努力，加加油，你的起跑一定会很完美!我们的祖国也要像春天一样，犹如东方一条盘旋的巨龙，总有一天会“振翅高飞”!

读完这篇文章，我深深地体会到：春天就像未开垦的处女地，只要你在春天辛勤耕耘，就一定能收获硕果累累的金秋!

“你看过《草房子》吗?”面对这个问题，相信很多爱读书的人都会说看过。的确，最近我也在看《草房子》这本书。一拿到这本书，我就爱不释手，很快就读完了它。

《草房子》这本书讲述了桑桑和他的朋友们在油麻地度过的六年的小学生活。这本书一共九个章节，每个章节都是一个感人肺腑的故事。其中有两个故事，我记得最清楚，印象最深刻，一个是杜小康和他家的红门的故事,一个就是秃头秃鹤的故事。

我在杜小康的身上学到了不少东西。他家刚开始十分有钱，家里的门也都是大红门，他有一辆让同学羡慕不已的自行车，更一条属于自己的皮带。因为家庭富有，他自然就有些傲慢。可是有一件事改变了他的一生，他的爸爸在一次生意中亏了本，导致他们家一贫如洗，杜小康也被迫不能去上学。一开始他也是垂头丧气，可是后来他意识到了自己的真正价值。他开始尝试在学校门口摆了一个杂货摊，从而找到生活的信心。我们也要做一个像他一样的人，不仅要勇于面对困难，更要知错就改，还要有志气，有担当。

秃鹤他敢于证明自己不怕别人嘲笑的精神也一样值得我们学习。如果我们也能拥有他们这样好的品质，在生活中做一个像他们一样的人，不是更好吗?

在他们身上，我还学会了一个更为重要的东西，那就是坚强、乐观、自信。曾经有人问过我：“你享受你的生活吗?”我想不少同学会说不，因为大家可能没有感受到生活的乐趣。可是大家可以看看油麻地的孩子们。他们一个个也遇到过困难，可他们依然很享受自己的生活，整天都很开心。所以我要说，我们要知足常乐，要“身在福中要知福”

哦，那金黄的草房子，苦苦的艾草，静静的小河，天真烂漫的孩子们，散发着醉人香气的油麻地，这才是我心中的《草房子》!

在假期，我同爷爷奶奶共读了一本好书。我想大家对它并不陌生，它就是中国古典四大名著之一——《红楼梦》。以前，我看了不少被压缩改编过的“少儿版”，不觉得它有多好看，但这次，我真真正正“品读”了原著，真真正正感受到了老人们口中常说的不可逾越的巅峰之作。书中人物个性鲜明，极具代表性，如：贾宝玉的鄙视功名、珍重感情;薛宝钗的善解人意、处事沉稳、善于笼络人心;王熙凤的爽快泼辣、口齿伶俐、虚伪狡诈、见风使舵、善于阿谀奉承;史湘云的心直口快、开朗豪爽……

满纸荒.唐言，一把辛酸泪…… 品读《红楼梦》，内心总会缭绕着感动和遗憾的情愫。小时候我看不懂，到如今我终于理解了《红楼梦》，还没看完，我已哭得泣不成声。在曹雪芹的笔下出现了一个富豪家族,各种各样的人、事、物，就仿佛反映了一个社会的现象。

人们最记得的人，莫过于林黛玉了。因为在众多人眼里她是性格最单一的人，人们只认为她很爱哭，心事很重，很刁蛮，很爱吃醋。但人们错了，都不知她是最爱笑，也是最想笑的人。她经常和姐妹们开玩笑，逗得大家笑得肚疼。可无奈，在荣国府中没有一个真正爱她的人，都是些外姓亲戚，只将她放在眼里嘴上，从不放在心里。好点的嘴上好妹妹的叫着，坏点的从不接近她。她只能将自己的委屈憋在心里，表现的刁蛮一些以防别人不欺负她。如果你在别人家呆着是否得处处小心翼翼，就连在姑姑家不照样也得小心翼翼吗?如果你一个人在没有亲人的外姓亲戚家，看到别人在亲人怀里撒娇，不也得哭泣半天吗?而宝玉和黛玉的情缘也真应了“一个阆苑仙芭，一个美玉无暇。若说没奇缘，今生偏又遇着他;若说有奇缘，如何心事终虚化?一个枉自嘘，一个空劳牵挂。一个是水中月，一个是镜中花。想眼中能有多少泪珠儿，怎禁得秋流到冬，春流到夏!”即使最后贾母为了宝玉的未来，宁可牺牲黛玉，显出了黛玉临死都无依无靠。

那边不懂人情世故的宝玉在举新婚礼，人们齐聚一堂，热闹非凡。那边多愁善感的黛玉在一个人寂寞的等待死亡。这梦，断送了宝玉和黛玉的一生。要说黛玉不在乎，又怎会因宝玉而死?要说宝玉不在乎，又怎会出家当了和尚?其实，在好多人眼里，宝玉天真，不懂什么是爱。黛玉顽固，不承认她的爱。但既是如此，宝玉为何会在被骗婚后宁死不屈，希望人们能把他和黛玉两个快死的人放在一起，可他并不知道黛玉已因他而死。

这大观园就像社会一样，有各种人，而巧姐是最后一个活下来的人，凤姐也遭到了报应。大观园也走向败落，最后家破人亡，这场梦就如同过眼烟云在悲痛与家破人亡中结束了。

有评论家这样说：几千年中国文学史，假如我们只有一部《红楼梦》，它的光辉也足以照亮古今中外。

《飘》，是我最喜爱的书。喜欢斯佳丽的勇敢坚强，喜欢瑞特的机智果断，喜欢玫兰妮的外柔内刚。

"Float", is my favorite book. Like Scarlett is brave and strong, like the quick Ruite decisive, an hand in a velvet glove like Melanie.

对于斯佳丽这个人物，我的感觉是矛盾的，是讨厌却又不得不敬佩她。她是个非常有个性的人物，她一生中爱了两个男人，而她却没一个是了解的。如果她了解阿希礼，那她就不会爱他;如果她了解瑞特，那她就不会失去他。她一直以来是辜负瑞特的，她只是不停追寻着自己梦中的王子阿希礼。她只是把自己爱的特点认为阿希礼有，她只是做了一件华丽的衣服，让阿希礼穿上，而后爱上他。而事实是，她爱的只是那件衣服。

Scarlett for the people, my feeling is contradictory, is hate but had to admire her. She is a very individual character, the two men love her lifetime, but she did not know one. If you know her Ainslie, that she would not love him; if she understood Rhett, she would not lose him. She had been longing, she just kept pursuing his dream of the prince ashley. She is his love of the characteristics that there Ainslie, she just did a gorgeous clothes, so put on Ainslie, and then fell in love with him. The truth is, she just loved that dress.

对于她，我是不得不佩服的，佩服她的坚强，佩服她对土地的执着，佩服她能在那中环境下放下以前所受的教育下田干活，佩服她能不顾社会上的言论而开创自己的事业。她生命有几个灵魂，一个是她的母亲。他的母亲是一位非常能干、温柔的典型贵夫人，是她最敬佩的人。可是，母亲为了救人而被传染伤寒，去世了。另一个，是她十几年来最爱的人阿希礼。她能在逆境中站起来，有很大一部分原因就是阿希礼。她对阿希礼是异常执着的。还有一个，就是玫兰妮。在一起奋斗的十几年里，玫兰妮已经成为她生命中不可缺少的一部分了。

For her, I have to admire, admire her strong, admire her dedication to the land, to admire her down before in that environment education to work in the field, regardless of the world to admire her remarks and start his own business. She lives a few soul, she is a mother. His mother is a very capable, gentle typical lady, she is the most admirable people. However, in order to save the mother was infected typhoid, died. Another, is her most loved for over ten years and Ashley. She can stand up in the face of adversity, there is a big part of the reason is that ashley. She was exceptionally dedicated to him. Another, is Melanie. In the many years of struggling together, Melanie has become an indispensable part of her life..

滚滚长江东逝水，浪花淘尽英雄……

——题记

我国文化源远流长，博大精深。在五千年的历史长河中，王朝更迭，合久必分，分久必合。《三国演义》描写的时期就是中国历史上一个四分五裂、群雄逐鹿的年代，在这动荡时期，涌现出一位位英雄人物，流传着一个个流芳千古的传奇故事。

东汉末年，黄巾起义，彻底动摇东汉政府统治，后董卓专权，飞扬跋扈，致使汉室凋零，人民陷入水深火热之中。“忠臣被逐于庙堂之高，壮士惨死于锋刃之端，贤良空老于林泉之下，何其怪哉!”讲的就是这个道理吧。正所谓“兴，百姓苦;亡，百姓苦”

那个血雨腥风的年代早已悄然过去，通过这本书，让我们又回到过去，眼前飞扬着一个个鲜活的面容，重温那金戈铁马的历史画卷，体验那一幕幕激动人心的时刻。

他，挟天子以令诸侯，先灭董卓后灭吕布，大破李傕和郭汜，又在官渡之战以少胜多，大破袁绍，而后平马超、灭张鲁，远征乌桓，统一北方。“宁教我负天下人，不教天下人负我”暴露出他的狭隘;官渡之战以少胜多突显出他的智谋。可是，赤壁一战，二十万大军顷刻化为乌有，损失惨重，奠定三国鼎立。他生性多疑，神医华佗为他治病，他竟然怀疑华佗要谋害他，遂杀死了这位神医。这就是乱世奸雄——曹操。

他，被刘备不辞辛劳、思贤若渴的精神所感动，为刘备制定建国策略;为联合孙吴共同抵抗曹操，他舌战江东群儒;三气周瑜，智取荆襄九郡，又进军益州，使刘备三分天下有其一。也曾七擒孟获，安定后方;六出祁山，誓复汉室，多次击退曹军，因积劳成疾，壮志未酬，病死军营，“鞠躬尽瘁，死而后已”印证了他的一生。连魏国司马懿也赞叹他是“天下奇才”。这便是卧龙先生——诸葛亮。

他，勇猛刚毅，义重如山。“桃园三结义”，“身在曹营心在汉”，毕生追随刘备，为刘备鞍前马后。他武艺高强，颇有谋略：温酒斩华雄，杀颜良、诛文丑，为曹操解白马之围;过五关、斩六将，单刀赴会，水淹七军，可谓所向披靡，英勇无敌。然在无数次胜利面前，他渐渐滋生骄傲情绪，最后败走麦城，兵败被杀。这便是三国名将——关羽。

此外，这本书还塑造了众多栩栩如生的形象，“喝断长坂水倒流”的张翼德，“宝刀不老”、“百步穿杨”的黄汉升，骁勇善战的赵子龙等等。

《三国演义》开创我国历史小说的先河，其中名篇数不胜数，“桃园三结义”、“三顾茅庐”等故事早已烂熟于心，耳熟能详。“赤壁之战”透露出的智谋更令人惊叹不已：孔明江东辩群儒，七星坛上借东风，再加上黄盖的苦肉计、庞统的连环计，才使得那曹操上当，才会取得如此大的胜利。正因为这些精彩的故事情节，《三国演义》才成为我国古代灿烂文化中的一部分，才真正让我们感受到我国文化的璀璨。

经典《三国演义》，大哉《三国演义》!

今天，我读了《岳飞传》这本书，主要讲了：岳飞长大时，带领宋朝大军去击退金兵，立下赫赫战功。可是因为奸臣秦桧乃一处龙王投胎而至，而岳飞是佛教大鹏鸟下世，曾伤龙王，因此怀恨在心，用十二道金牌召岳飞回朝，害死岳飞。最后皇帝处死奸臣，让岳雷领兵击败金朝，才天下太平，的事。

其中，枪挑小梁王的岳飞给我留下了深刻的印象。我认为岳飞是一个忠、义、勇三全的人，忠在与他宁屈死也不反宋朝，把国家放在了第一位，却把生命看在了次位，在他死前，他的背上还留着他母亲给他刻得“精忠报国”四字!义在于他在抵抗金兵时，遇到猛将良才则会好言相劝，令金将投于军中待于兄弟一般，这才只是他手下人才济济、良将众多啊!而勇则在于他杀退金兵时，身先士卒，迎战对方猛将，给了军将很大的鼓舞，才得以击退金兵……

岳飞还有许多美好品质，都很值得我学习。

《父与子》是一本没有字只有画的漫画，它里面讲的是光头大胡子爸爸和聪明可爱的儿子之间发生的有趣的事。

这一本书里面有100多个笑话。虽然它没有文字，但看了以后就会大笑。这是为什么呢?我来告诉大家。这是因为它没有文字只有图画，我们看图时就会产生各种 想象。这本书还有深刻的意思。别看它只是一本漫画，可是它可以让我们学到知识——想象力，这样我们就可以很轻松的把文章写好。但是，要想把文章写好，不光 要有丰富的想象力，还要有足够的词汇量。

这就是《父与子》的魅力，我把它当成瑰宝一样看待，因为它给了我许多知识，也让我懂得许多道理;我把它当成知识的宝库，因为它有很多的知识，很多很有意思的知识······

This book is simply wonderful.The tales involved are tales of the Persian Gulf,of Bagdhad,Arabia,and tales that we as adults should revisit for some enjoyable light reading that will make us smile and wonder at the old folklore of the Arabian Peninsula.Sinbad the Sailor is in there,as is Aladdin in its original form,and the story begins of a king who is so upset by his wifes unfaithfulness that he will now only accept virgins for one night and then have them killed.A smart virgin begins her night with the infamous king by telling him stories,and she so fascinates him and enthralls him with her tales that the tales turn into folklore for readers of the ages.I wont tell you what happens in the end to the virgin princess,but you will find humor,enchantment,wisdom and fantasy for those times when stress becomes a factor in your life.I highly recommend the tale of "The Historic Fart" as a both funny and inspiring tale of human nature.Please buy this book and remember to become a nine -12 year old again as you read with curiosity and wonder at the fabulous enchanting,lively stories.I was beginning to wish my children were a bit younger so I could read these to them.Any child would enjoy these stories,and any adult will find them simply relaxing and a reflection of medieval Islam.

一个个奋不顾身的身影，体现着党组织的强大力量，是党员践行党的宗旨、为民服务的体现。“疫情就是使命，我们是党员，我们义不容辞!”“我们也担忧，但是我们不会退缩，因为这是我们的初心与使命。”“病毒无情，但人间有爱，相信我们能够打赢这一仗!”在疫情防控的一线，党员这样说道。

2020才刚刚开始，新型冠状病毒引起的肺炎疫情也悄然蔓延，面对疫情的快速蔓延，‘以最快的速度救治患者，以最快的速度控制疫情’成了当前的头等大事，容不得有丝毫犹豫、丝毫侥幸。

这一切，还要从一只蝙蝠说起……

可别小看一只小小的蝙蝠，它携带了上百种病毒。但是它们生活在阴暗的洞穴中，晚上出行，与人类互不相干。从未想过要伤害人类。可是到底是道德的沦丧还是人性的泯灭!人类主动去伤害蝙蝠，将它送上了餐桌!他们丝毫没有觉得不对，甚至吃的津津有味，还拍视频传到网上!这到底是为什么?为了胶原蛋白?是大鸡腿不好吃吗?蝙蝠已经尽量长的不像食材了，人们还要去伤害它。

吃了便吃了，有病毒的第一时间大家都会想到的是隔离，预防。而武汉这次确实没有及时采取措施，再加上春运期间，武汉市出来共有五百多万人，这也是导致病毒传播速度很快的原因之一。

但是现在已经成为这样了，我们便不要再纠结武汉的问题了，应该乖乖待在家中，没事不要出门。即使要出门，也要带好口罩，做好防护措施，不去人多的地方。全世界都在支援武汉，我们也应该尽一己之力去帮助武汉。

在这里，非常感谢奋斗在一线的义务人员!是他们在凭自己的力量保护着我们!

日本，韩国等国家向中国捐赠了很多医疗物品，患难见真情!我们不应该一味纠结历史。应以史为鉴，友好相处!

我们中国的历史所有人可见，从鸦片战争开始我国历经无数苦难但一一挺了过来，在人民的共同努力下建立了新中国。如今区区一个病毒我们依旧可以打败它。让我们把(远离武汉)改为(援助武汉)!我可能会像大家一样害怕但我绝不会退缩!我相信我们一定可以战胜它，因为我们有一个众志成城的心。

Written in the first chapter of the book Pride and Prejudice is an extraordinary sentence of which even a person who has had only a brief look upon the book will not fail to receive a deep impression-It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife. In terms of Sherlock Holmes, we’d better alter the sentence into “It is a fact universally accepted by readers throughout the world that an excellent book in possession of our famous detective Sherlock Holmes is undoubtedly a masterpiece of all times.” Perhaps this is one of the most obvious explanations for the unrivaled popularity of “Holmes series” in the field of detective stories. Overwhelmed by the recommendations provided by my friends, I decided to take a look on this Sherlock Holmes and the Duke’s Son originally published by Oxford University Press.

As a whole, this book is about a case concerning the Duke’s missing son. Arthur, the Duke’s son, was found out in a certain morning to have disappeared, accompanied with which was also the disappearance of the German teacher. The school master Dr. Huxtable then turned to the famous detective of the time Sherlock Holmes for help. Realizing how tough and important the case is, Holmes immediately made up his mind to accept the case and followed Dr. Huxtable back to Mackleton by train. Having formed a rough idea about the whole matter, Holmes probed into the case immediately and had a careful investigation of the entire area shortly after the arrival, during the process of which he discovered the body of the German teacher Heidegger. Finally, primarily due to his prominent ability as a detective, he managed to unravel the mystery and obtained the twelve thousand pounds promised by the Duke.

Having once started reading this fiction, I was completely immersed in the mysterious story presented by the book. As the saying goes, “Well begun, half done”. At the beginning of the story, just like many other detective stories, the author gives us a brief description of the condition by the words of a client. However, unlike other ones, this story first delineates the client’s strange behavior at length to indicate the severity of the incident in order to attract the readers to continue reading it. As is known to all, vivid depiction is essential to detective stories since it can help the readers understand each figure’s characteristics and visualize the scenes, thus making the story more authentic and attractive. Therefore, trying to present a “real world” to his readership, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, author of the original “Holmes series”, has skillfully arranged the plots of the whole story from the perspective of Dr. Watson, a character not so specialized in discovering the truth hidden behind the enigmatic happenings as Holmes but so loyal to Sherlock Homes as a friend that he always accompanies Holmes wherever he goes. In this way, he elaborately depicted every scene and character in the book, Apart from the special start, the ending of the whole story, being dramatic but reasonable, is certainly an outstanding one. After all, except the author himself, who knows that the Duke’s seemingly ordinary secretary is in fact the Duke’s bastard? In addition, who knows that the Duke actually has already been acquainted with the whole thing before Holmes solves this complicated problem? Yet, surprising as it is, this ending seems so natural that it fits all the plots of the story perfectly well. While enjoying this wonderful story, I could do nothing but admire the wonderful design of this masterpiece as well as the author’s gorgeous writing skill. Closing my eyes, I can even “see” the story happening just like watching a film. Not until then did I understand why the Japanese cartoon film Detective Conan used this “Conan” as the name of its hero.

As far as I am concerned, nothing is more admirable and surprising in the hero Sherlock Homes than his profound knowledge which has certainly assisted him a lot when he was studying the case. Take the bicycle tyres for instance, Holmes actually is capable of recognizing 42 different varieties of bicycle tyres. What’s more, according to his other stories, Holmes has studied different kinds of newspapers, cigarettes, people’s footprints and other special things as well. Therefore, he seems to have the mastery of anything relevant to the cases he deals with. Except for his illimitable knowledge, Holmes also specializes in arranging the facts in order and then finding the fact leading him to a great discovery or even the truth itself. From his speaking “Every mystery has an answer”, we can readily shape the impression of a man with great intelligence and inflexible will. In this case, after getting rid of unrelated facts, Sherlock Homes eventually grasped the clue and discovered the amazing fact.

Needless to say, as a world-renowned masterpiece, Sherlock Holmes and the Duke’s Son has attracted and is still charming numerous readers from all corners of the world and people from all walks of life. The “Holmes series” has already set up a standard against which all the following detective fictions are measured. Sherlock Holmes, beyond all doubt, has become a name firmly rooted in people’s memories. Although Dr. Watson’s closing The Case Book of Sherlock Holmes in 1927 was a great pity to the readers, the discontinuance of the entire “Holmes series” may have actually added to the legendary stature of Sherlock Holmes.

[福尔摩斯读后感英语版

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。

《百万英镑》是马克.吐温写的一篇中篇幽默讽刺小说。本文故事是，一位公务员出海时在公海中迷了路，被救起后随船到了英国。在英国他成了流浪汉，因为一次两名富翁打赌，给他了一张100万英镑整的钞票，看他可不可以养活自己一个月。因为无法证明钞票归他所有，他一开始不敢花，后来实在饿得没有办法，拿钞票去饭店试试，结果店老板认为他是个富翁，允许他欠账，还想送给他东西，讨好他。结果他用这种方式，弄够了所有生活用品，还和别人合作赚了30万英镑。

这篇文章讽刺了那些以貌取人、见钱眼开的人。这些人见对方有钱，就甘愿为对方服务，而对于对方虚实，一概不问。他们这类人为金钱服务，信奉 “金钱万能”。这种人若变多，就会助长“金钱万能”这种社会风气的形成，金钱会异化成为人们的唯一动力。当前我们身边社会，也有这种习气的存在。从大处说，去年曾有某造纸工厂排污不达标一次用120万元买断全年的罚款，从小处说，找人办事送礼成风也是这种习气的体现。因此，我们不能信奉“金钱万能”，而且凡遇到事情，应该从本质着眼，看清事物的真相，而不应只看表面，不应盲从。

《英语教学方法与策略》读后感

为了提高自身的英语教学质量和效率,我从学校图书馆借来《英语教学方法与策略》一书,利用业余时间认真地进行了研读,获得了不少教益。

这本书由鲁子问和康淑敏两位专家编写,由华东师范大学出版社出版,可以作为英语教学设计方向研究生教材,也可以作为中小学英语教师设计培训教材使用。我认为在英语学科骨干教师研修班接受培训期间读读这样一本书是再合适不过的。这本书介绍了教学方法与教学策略的相同与差异,提出了教学方法与策略的选择与整合的方法,介绍了英语教学方法的实践操作方法,包括情景教学法、交际教学法、任务教学法和自主学习教学,然后分析了英语教学过程的策略及实践操作方法,并从英语知识教学的策略及实践操作方法、英语技能教学的策略及时间操作方法两方面对英语教学方法与策略的行动研究提供了系统的指导。

编者用六章分别讲了教学方法与教学策略、英语教学方法的实践操作、英语教学过程的策略及实践操作、英语知识教学的策略及实践操作、英语技能教学的策略及实践操作和英语教学方法与策略的行动研究。

该书对相关理论进行了系统、简要的讲解,主要的内容是对英语教学实践的指导与分析。每一节都采用“准备-学习-实践”三部式结构,不仅讲解理论,而且注重教学实践。在每一节的理论讲解之后,都设计了“实践分析”专栏,以强化理论与实践的直接联系。在看每一节的时候,我都是跟着该书的编排形式在不断地调整自己的思维。在准备环节,编者会给出一个案例,让读者思考,遇到此类教学问题该如何解决,此时,我的大脑就会回忆我在教学中有没有遇到过,我又是如何解决的,然后思考怎样才能解决得更好;在学习环节,编者给我们提供了最系统的理论知识,此时我就很认真地研读每一条理论,认真理解每一个概念,为今后的教学活动积累必要的理论知识;在实践部分,我仔细地看了每个实践活动,对于一些比较有价值的活动自己在教学中也尝试着使用。

本书的优点是:1)语言浅显易懂。不像平常的教育着作,带着很多专业术语。2)内容很实用。书中不但简要地介绍教育理论,还举出大量的课堂活动例子,很适合各个层次的外语教师参考。3)描述很细致。书中谈到英语教学中很多细节的东西。4)编排符合读者习惯,发人深思。书中每一章节都会在适当的位置上安排一个文本框,给出一些名词解释或让读者讨论或思考一个问题。如:请讨论,您如何看待Practice makes perfect.它与数量原则有什么关系?训练中如何把握训练的量?

这本书让我羞愧于自己在教学理论和策略方面知识的匮乏,更让我明白英语教学的成功应体现在“培养学习者在真实的情景中有效使用英语的能力”我是一个率性而为的人,很多时候只是随心而教学,不会严格遵循某一教学模式。所以一直以来,教学成绩都没有取得重大突破,而我本人也一直为此烦恼,这本书教会我许多有理论支持的教学方法。如:语法翻译法、直接教学法、认知法、自然法、社团教学法、沉默教学法、全身反应法、暗示教学法。从书中我悟到了想成为一名优秀的教师必须充分认识到“教必有法”的原则性和“教务定法”的灵活性特点之间的统一关系。教师不应拘于一法一策,囿于一方一圆,而是要因地制宜,因材施教,将各类方法加以组合和调配,在吸收、借鉴已有教学方法的基础上,创造性地发挥,逐步形成富有教师个人特色的教学风格。在教学实践中,我根据教学环境、教学目标、教学内容、学生的需求和自身的教学风格适丰富了一下教学方法和策略,收到了一定的效果。

我最受启发的是书中的如下观点:呈现学习任务时,应当向学习者描述任务中的问题发生的物理背景、组织和社会文化背景。并且,问题的呈现必然是有趣的或吸引人的,目的是引导学习者的积极参与。让学习者体现到伸手可及的成功;教学活动的设置应考虑学习者的兴趣,需要和情感;老师可以和学习者商量课堂活动的内容并建议学习者把他们感兴趣的学习材料带回班上。让我陷入长久的沉思的是这个观点:“personalities and relationships are important for motivation”即:教师的性格及其与学习者之间的良好关系在调动学习者学习方面很重要。文中提到“即使我们不能完全改变自己去满足不同学习者的需要,但我们可以主动了解学习者感兴趣的话题,如:流行音乐,年轻人喜欢的电影,新车,科技的发展等。看到这里,对于学生为什么没有积极参与我自以为精心准备的课堂活动,我似乎找到了答案:设计活动时,我只是从教材内容和个人兴趣出发。当学生冷淡对待活动时,我只会埋怨大的学习环境不好,埋怨学生不配合,极少去思考是否学生对内容感兴趣,是否活动的难度适合学生,课堂指令是否清晰等因素。文中还指出:即使学生会使用老师准备好的语言结构,也明确活动的目的,但如果他们缺乏信心,也不会积极参与…所以,对学生及时得体的鼓励相当重要,借用李阳老师的话就是鼓励学生 “Enjoy losing face. Enjoy making mistakes ”总之,要踏上英语教学的成功之路,进行方方面面的准备工作是必要的,

对于以后的教学,我将努力改变陈旧的教学理念,尝试新的教学模式,自始至终把学生放在中心位置:把激发学生的学习热情放在首位,发挥交际教学的优势。是时候改变沉闷的课堂气氛,还学生一个愉快的学习环境了!是时候彻底解放学生,还学生一个可以自主学习的空间了!

其实,单纯阅读只是一个浅层理解词句的过程,我们可能在阅读中很感动,很受启发,但是,几个星期或几个月后,可能我们的思维又回复原状;若把我们的所思所想写下来,联系我们的教学或生活实际加以变通,可能会更长久地影响我们;而如果把我们学到的经验及时应用在教学中或生活中,我们的学生或我们自己则会终身受益,这才是阅读的目的。“热爱阅读、高效阅读、创新阅读”让我们互勉!

[英语教学方法与策略的读后感

The novel is rich in poetry, symbolism and metaphor. It does not fit easily into a definite pattern, being neither a novel of "manners" in the tradition of Austen, or a straightforward Gothic Romance in the style of Mrs Radcliffe. What Charlotte Bronte did was to create a work which cleverly blends elements of the two styles, and which remains uniquely independent of them at the same time, since it addresses issues which were at the time rather controversial.

The novel is written in the first person, and thus magnifies the central character - the reader enters the world of Jane Eyre and is transported through her experiences at first hand. This at once makes the work subjective, especially since we know that Charlottes Brontes own life and experiences were so closely interwoven with the heroines. As well as this we learn only at the end of the novel that the events are being related to us ten years after the reconciliation with Rochester - thus the narrative is RETROSPECTIVE (looking back). CB is clever in blending the narrative so that at times Jane seems to be speaking as an adult with adult hindsight , while at others she she is "in the middle" of them, as a child or young woman. The indecision which is a central issue in the book, is heightened by this device. We never know, as readers, whether to be entirely trustful of Janes actions and thoughts, because we are never sure wheher she is speaking impulsively or maturely.

This intensifies the readers dilemma as to what is "right" and "wrong" in the dramatic relationships which are part of JEs life. Can we believe what the heroine says, or is she deceiving herself? The novel is primarily a love story and a "romance" where wishes come true but only after trials and suffering. The supernatural has its place, as do dreams, portents and prophesies. The heroine begins poor and lonely and ends up rich and loved; the orphan finds a good family to replace the wicked one; all the basic ingredients of classic romantic fairytale are present.

The romantic element is present in two forms in Jane Eyre; the "family" aspect is dealt with in the Gateshead, Lowood and Moor House episodes, which involve the exchanging of the wicked Reed family for the benevolent Rivers one; and the Love romance is dealt with in the Thornfield and Ferndean episodes. Both aspects are, of course linked and interwoven throughout the novel.

There is also a strong element of realism in the novel, which, married to the romantic aspect, enhances the novels strength.The sense of place is very strong; we are able to experience both exterior and interior settings with startling clarity throughout the story, in a series of vivid deive passages. The central characters are also realistic and their confrontations and sufferings change them in a believable way.

Even the unlikely is made plausible, with a unique blend of high drama and perceptive low comedy (the attack on Mason, for instance)

The more fantastic romantic aspects; the coincidences; the secrets; the supernatural occurrences, are balanced by the realism, and this is of course a major strength.

The Gothic influence cannot be ignored, although CB has refined the technique considerably from the "authentic" Gothic of the 1790s. In the original genre, the heroine would typically be abducted and threatened with seduction, or worse!. There would be a lover - a respectable, well-bred young man - who would endeavor to rescue the heroine and would succeed after many trial. the seducer would be a brigand "Know that I adore Corsairs!" and he would lock the girl up in a remote castle.

There was little freedom for middle class women during the period of the Gothic novel, and this was still the case in the time of CB. Marriage especially was often a bargain, whereby fortunes were secured by using the female as a pawn. A womans value largely depended therefore on her sexual purity and she was guarded and secured as a result. Men, on the contrary, were potent and free; lovers and mistresses were common. Ironically the women who provided their services were social outcasts as a result.

In Jane Eyre we see elements of the Gothic romance, in that Thornfield Hall and Rochester are described very much in the brigand/castle style BUT Jane Eyre is not abducted by R. On the contrary she chooses to go there of her own free will. AND she is clear in her determination to have Rochester as a husband. Neither is there a gentleman rescuer; St John Rivers may look like a Greek God, but he is neither kind nor benevolent; driving Jane back to Ferndean, not rescuing her from it.

The trials which the hero is supposed to undergo in a Gothic romance are in fact undergone by the heroine in Jane Eyre. The bandit Rochester is only skin-deep. Underneath the brooding exterior is a sensitive soul, which a WOMAN frees. In this way we see that CB created rather a daring departure from conventional fiction, although there are still many aspects of the novel which remain true to Victorian convention.!
