初中八年级英语优秀作文范文欣赏【一】
哪个人没有一段追悔莫及的年少往事？不论你我，总该学会放下。
记得那年冬日，自小惰性不掩的我，更加肆无忌惮，完成了回家作业之后，干脆不想写竞赛了。
“课代表？科学老师管不管我们交考卷的？我昨天写作业写迟了。”我小心翼翼地询问。
“没事的吧，反正有些人也不写。”他很是随意，说着，惊喜地大呼：“这题你写出来了？借我看看。”
“好好好，拿去吧，我后面没写，别给我交上去了啊。”我忙不迭地把考卷塞到他的手上。
似乎也没什么嘛，我松了口气。
科学课上，我有些心虚地不敢看老师的眼睛，若是平时，我必然是盯着老师的眼睛，对于每个问题都如临大敌不敢半分怠慢，小儿心思地期盼老师的注意与赞赏。
如今，只是默默垂头，仿佛想低到尘埃里，老师看不见才好。
这感觉并不好，但又因为连续的，数学的竞赛，语文的比赛让我应接不暇，只能狠下心，将引以为傲的科学放到了距离笔尖最远的地方，我想，总会有机会补回来的——在完成数学和语文的比赛之后。
时间飞逝，转眼间，就到了我的科学竞赛考试。
短短两个小时，我却仿佛吃了满口黄莲，噎着喉咙不上不下，苦涩弥漫了口腔，再也不知其他滋味。
我清楚自己错过了什么，失去了什么。
“160的考卷,你只有一百一十五，你是不是认为自己拿过优胜奖厉害了？还是我科学太低端你看不上？”科学老师恨铁不成钢地拍着桌子冲我说道：“其实我一直知道你考卷是不交的，每次都有名单。”
我有些不可置信地睁大了眼，明明……
老师叹了一口气，拉开抽屉，一张竞赛人员名单映入眼帘，一共十多次的考卷，我却只交了前五次。
“你一直是个很有干劲的女孩，本来开学初我是不想你参加竞赛的，但是你很努力，几次考试居然都是第一，我很惊讶，觉得可能是自己低估了你。现在看来…我的看法是正确的`。”
我看着老师的眼睛，看到了满眼的失望，心中仿佛被小野猫用爪子挠，毛刺刺的，难受得不知道该说些什么，慌乱之余，只是重复对不起这三个字。
事情已经过去两年，我的科学老师也不再让我参加竞赛，不论我如何表达自己的希望，她总是如此一句话：“你知道我为什么不同意。”
我当然清楚，也承认为此红过眼眶，但年岁渐长，我也明白了，哪怕竞赛我无法参加了，这将会是我一直的伤痛，但是，事情的起因于我，结果于我，都是自作自受。
如果不曾抱有侥幸，一切将不会这样覆水难收。
只是，某次，我的科学老师在我哭完之后递给了我一张纸巾，语重心长地说：“与其纠结于无法改变的过去，不如微笑着，珍惜未来。”
这是某部电视剧中的一句话，看电视的时候是一种心境，如今老师一说，却又是另一番滋味。我听懂了，也明白了。
从那之后，我不再纠结于是否参加竞赛，不再纠结老师对于我曾经的年少轻狂有什么看法，不再有丝毫的怠慢。
对于自责已经放下，虽然还是时常想起，但也由此感受到了心的方向。

金黄的树叶离开了树梢，在空中如蝴蝶样飞舞，最后以柔美的弧度悄无声息地落在地上。一片片的金黄，为冷寂的街道作了最美的点缀，渐渐的，秋天的韵味浓了起来。秋天又来了。
“每逢佳节倍思亲”枫叶正红时，又是重阳节到了。我踏上了家乡的路。往日泥泞的小路。如今还十分亲切，路旁的景物依旧。只是觉得更添了一份愁绪。因为睹物思人，而物是人非。是的，重阳节，难免让人回想起过往的人，过往的事，过往的一切。更难免让人触景伤人，不经意间，我又想起了我那已故的、亲爱的外公。往日外公的欢声笑语，又在我脑海中浮现，让我对他的思念在秋风中更加强烈。
几年前的一个重阳节。那时外公还在我们身边。他是一个很活泼很可爱的“老小孩”，因为他有一颗常青的心，又有宽广的胸怀。他的笑。是那么爽朗、清澈又慈祥，他的一切，都感染着身边的人。
可生老病死—这不可逆转的自然规律，终究让外公从此成为过去，只给我们留下似枫叶般的回忆，徐徐的落下，沉甸甸地压在心头。那爽朗的笑容从此定格了。那一刻，我似乎长大了，明白了人世的悲欢离合，明白何谓亲情，明白在世的我们应该好好珍惜这一切。
如今重阳节，我站在往日的小路上，习习秋风，夹杂着思念，吹乱了我的思绪，古往今来，人们都喜欢悲秋。又值重阳，我终于明白这“悲”从何而来。“遥知兄弟登高处，遍插茱萸少一人”。此时此刻，我反复咀嚼着这句诗的韵味，尝到“少一人”中包含的那份沉甸甸的思念，其中有对现实的无奈和对过往的追忆。我于这迷离的秋色中，试图寻找昨日一幕幕珍贵的画面，不知不觉，太阳已滑到了山间，像一只泛黄的大石榴。
“夕阳无限好，只是近黄昏”，我心里默念着，踏向了归途

When a lion was asleep, a little mouse began running up and down beside him. This soon wakened the lion. He was very angry, and caught the mouse in his paws.
"Forgive me, please." cried the little mouse. "I may be able to help you someday." The lion was tickled at these words.
He thought, "How could this little mouse help me?" However he lifted up his paws and let him go.
A few days later, the lion was caught in a trap.
The hunters wanted to take him alive to the king, so they tied him to a tree, and went away to look for a wagon.
Just then the little mouse passed by, and saw the sad lion.
He went up to him, and soon gnawed away the ropes. "Was I not right?" asked the little mouse.

●不久，狮子被陷阱困住了。猎人们想将活狮子献给国王，就把他捆在一棵大树上，然后去找马车。

我家屋后的山上有一片四季常青的竹林，林中种植着百余根茂盛无比的竹子。
每天清早打开窗户，我都能看见这片竹林，凝视它挺拔的身躯，仰望它傲然的风骨。我几乎每个月都会去拜访它。它们有的十分粗壮，像插着宝剑的武士一般挺立在山上，守卫着竹林;有的宛如刚出浴的美人，穿着翠绿的衣裳，迎面送来阵阵清香。对于农村的孩子来说，竹子是再熟悉不过的，是极其平凡的。
但是，它带来的作用却不可忽视。可以说，竹子与中国人民的生活息息相关。仅是这小小的竹竿就可以编织成竹蓝、簸箕、扫帚、凉席、竹扁、竹椅这么多日常工具和家具，可以制成笛子、葫芦丝等乐器和精美的工艺品，还是建筑材料和造纸的原料。竹笋的味道鲜美，助消化，防便秘，还能防癌和减肥，真是既营养丰富又功效多多。
竹子对人类的生活、生产所起到的作用真是多不胜数，但是，真正让我敬佩的，是它的品格与精神。也许只需要一丝阳光，只需要一阵雨露，它就能发芽、生长。而它奉献给人们的何止是一丝阳光，一阵雨露?那是千千万万的生命啊!从竹竿到竹叶，伟大的竹将它的一生献给了人类，可它得到的又能有多少?它没有一丝抱怨，只是一代又一代地勤勤恳恳为大众服务。
这种默默为人民服务、无私奉献不求回报的精神难道不值得我们用一生去敬仰和学习吗?中国之所以被称为“竹文明的国度”，是因为我们具有悠久的竹子栽培史，通过千百年来和竹子的相处，我们的精神与血液已与竹的品格融为一体了。
试问，竹四季常青、不惧严寒的品格，不正是中华民族自强不屈、顽强拼搏的民族精神的体现吗?竹啊，你全身是宝，无私地为大众奉献;不惧严寒，在风雪中傲然生长。你所具有的无私奉献的精神、顽强不屈的品格，难道不正是我们每个人所应当拥有的吗?

Carrying Faggots to Put Out a Fire
In the last years of the Warring States period, the State of Qin attacked the State of Wei on a large scale repeatedly and occupied large areas of land, for the State of Wei was too weak to defend itself. In 273 B.B., the qin army launched another attack upon the State of Wei with a momentum more vigorous than ever. The king of the State of Wei summoned his officials,and asked with a worried look if anyone could propose a way to defeat the Qin army. After years of chaos caused by the wars,the officials trembled when fighting was mentioned, and no one dared to speak ofresistance. At the critical moment when a large enemy force was bearing down upon the border, most of the offinials persuaded the king to sue for peace, at the cost of giving away to the State of Qin the large area of land north of the Huanghe River and south of the Taihang Mountain. However Su Dai, a counsellor, did not agree. He hurried up to the king and said:"Your Majesty, they don't think about the interests of the country at all.It is just because they are cowardly and afraid of death that they ask you to sue for peace by betraying the country. Of course you can temperarily satisfy the ambition of the king of the State of Qin is insatiably greedy. It will never stop assaulting us until our land is totally given away."Once there was a man whose house was on fire. People told him to put out the fire with water, but he would not listen. Instead, he carried a faggot to put out the fire, only to make the fire fiercer. That was because he didn't know that,instead of putting out the fire, faggots could only make it burning more vigorously. Isn't it equivalent to carrying faggots to put out a fire if you agree to sue for peace at the cost of the land of the State of Wei?"Though Su Dai's argument was very convincing, the king accepted the suggestion of those officials and gave away to the State of Qin a large area of the land of the State of Wei. For the king of the State of Wei was cowardly and only cared for peace at the moment.As might be expected,the Qin army assaulted the State of Wei on a large scale in 225 B.C.,surrounding the capital city Daliang and flooding it by digging open the dykes of the Huanghe River.The State of Wei was finally destroyed by the State of Qin.This story appears in the Historical Records Written by Sima Qian.The set phrase"carrying faggots to put out a fire"is used to mean adopting a wrong method to save a situation and ending up by making it worse.
战国末期，秦国向魏国接连发动大规模的进攻，魏国无力抵抗，大片土地都被秦军占领了。到公元前273年，秦国又一次向魏国出兵，势头空前猛烈。
魏王把大臣们召来，愁眉苦脸地问大家有没有使秦国退兵的办法。大臣们由于经过多年的战乱，提起打仗就吓得哆嗦，谁也不敢谈“抵抗”二字。在这大兵压境的危急时刻，多数大臣都劝魏王，用黄河以北和太行山以南的大片土地为代价，向秦王求和。
谋士苏代听了这些话，很不以为然，忙上前对魏王说：“大王，他们是因为自己胆小怕死，才让您去卖国求和，根本不为国家着想。您想，把大片土地割让给秦国虽然暂时满足了秦王的野心，但秦国的***是无止境的，只要魏国的土地没割完，秦军就不会停止进攻我们。”
说到这里，苏代讲了一个故事：从前有一个人，他的房子起火了，别人劝他快用水去浇灭大火，但他不听，偏抱起一捆柴草去救火，是因为他不懂得柴草不但不能灭火反而能助长火势的道理。大王若同意拿着魏国土地去求和，不就等于抱着柴草救火吗？”
尽管苏代讲得头头是道，但是胆小的魏王只顾眼前的太平，还是依大臣们的意见把魏国大片土地割让给秦国。到公元225年，果然秦军又向魏国大举进攻，包围了国都大梁，掘开黄河大堤让洪水淹没了大梁城，魏国终于被秦国灭掉了。
故事出自《史记魏世家》。成语“抱薪救火”比喻用错误的方法去消灭祸害，结果反而使祸害扩大。
