前段时间电视上一直在放着家风这个话题，说每个人的家里都要有家风和家规。我是根据新闻上的专题，来写这篇作文的。现在大家都很注重家里的风气，风气的范围有大有小，有国风、也有班风，今天就来讲一下这个家风吧。

所谓的家风就是自己家里的风气，家里的风气好不好就会影响到子孙后代，一个家庭或家族的家风要正，首先是要注重以德立家、以德治家。家风也分为好几种，在家里做的事、在家里做家务等等，在家里做的事情的是好家风。家风也叫门风，是一个家庭或家族的传统风尚。

家规很严格的，所以家里的规则必须要严格遵守一个家庭所规定的行为规范，一般是由一个家族所遗传下来的教育规范后代子孙的准则。家规也叫家法，国有国法，家有家规，就是指一个国家有一个国家的法律，一个家庭有一个家庭的规矩，这个规矩就相当于国家的法律。指家庭的规矩，做任何事都要懂得讲规矩。

最后，我觉得好的家风和家规每个人都要严格的遵守，我们小学生也要自己遵守好的行为规范，讲规矩，要正义。

一个风和日丽的日子，我和哥哥陪爷爷奶奶去逛街，这一逛不要紧，一下子买好多东西，这里面也有我和哥哥的玩具，所以我们显得很高兴。

“买兔子喽!每只五元!买兔子喽!”就在这回家的途中，这一阵吆喝吸引我和哥哥的注意，便情不自禁地走过去。这一看还得，几个大框子里，装着几十只小兔子，白的、黑的、灰的，花的……。我们哥俩又兴奋起来，这兔子太好玩，太可爱，我和哥哥都想去买一只，只要我们想要的，就一定要得到。于是，我们便把目光投向奶奶，谁知，奶奶爽快地答应，这可把我们哥俩乐坏，抱起一只兔子就走。

到家里，我们就用大白菜的叶子去喂它。它好像是太饿，用前爪抱起叶子就吃，几下就把白菜吃光。但是，它那八瓣嘴还不停咀嚼着，嘴上的胡须还一翘一翘的。它太漂亮，那长长的耳朵，白绒绒的衣服，红宝石一般的双眼，是那样惹人喜爱，我们就给它取名叫乖乖。只要我们一放松，它就到处乱跑，不是掉厕所，就是钻到沙发底下，偷偷地睡上一觉。

最滑稽的是，它钻到沙发底下不出来的事。那天是我看着它，但是，人有三急，当我去方便回来时，这小兔子又钻到沙发底下。我巴结它半天，可它仍然不出来，于是，我就用我的独门绝技——“钓兔子”。我把一片菜叶放到沙发底下，就等它上钩。对它来说，食物的诱惑力是很大的，不出我所料，它为吃食物，上钩，让它吃一嘴，再把蔡叶往前拉一下，小兔子乖乖被我“钓”出来。在我们的精心照顾下，小兔长大，越来越漂亮，也越来越乖巧。

可是，不幸的一天终于来，我的小兔子乖乖不知怎么的，竟然默默地死在它的窝里。它虽然死，但是，它那可爱活泼的形象一直存在我的脑中，使我挥之不去。

Bills can be issued for any term up to a year and are generally issued for periods of less than 6 months. Companies issue bills because they are a convenient form of borrowing.
