说干就干。要克隆,首先需要找到他们的细胞。我和我的助手阿米几乎跑遍了全世界才找齐了我们准备克隆的人的细胞。当然,仪器我们早就有了。但还有一个问题:自从克隆羊多利问世之后,各国相继立法禁止克隆人。所以,我们要申请一下特权。经过百般周折,国家终于同意我们克隆人,但前提是派一个人监视我们。无奈,我们只得同意了。
克隆伟人的工作正式开始,我和阿米闷在实验室里(当然,还有那个监视我们的人),经过周密的计算和策划,终于成功的克隆出了爱迪生,我又给他滴了一滴速长灵,他立刻长成了一个6岁大的.孩子,去上学了。看到这,我们急忙继续把牛顿、爱因斯坦、詹天佑、贝多芬、高尔基可龙了出来。我们的克隆成果轰动了世界,诺贝尔奖几乎被我们包揽,我激动得差点晕了过去。
几天后,我想看看他们的情况怎么样。于是,我对阿米说:“你能坐时空机帮我看看他们怎么样了吗?”“没问题!”他一溜烟跑了。
一小时后……
“不好了!”他一边说一边跑,不,应该说冲了进来。我下了一跳,问他:“怎么了?出什么事了?难道他们……”“对!你自己看吧!”他打断了我。
我接过他递来的一张纸,傻了眼。那上面清清楚楚的写着:
爱迪生:因偏科而留级。
牛顿:熟悉现代机器中。
爱因斯坦:同上。
詹天佑:因所有人都认为他会骄傲,所以没有人请他修铁路。
高尔基:没有灵感,因此尚没有写任何东西。
贝多芬:还比较成功,已作了几首曲子。
借这个悲剧提醒一下诸位:没事不要乱克隆,乱克隆有害呀!
一提起伟人,人们就会联想到那些明星,或是在某个科学领域有所贡献,或是古代厉害的人物。而我今天所说的伟人却是一群在普通不过的人,他们就是清洁工。
他们虽然看起来是简单、朴素、和我们没有什么不同之处的。但是他们确实了不起,这是我们有目共睹的事实。
夏天,当我们还在家中享受着清凉时,他们却在酷暑下坚守岗位,他们好象从来不怕太阳的热烈、垃圾刺鼻的臭味。脸上豆大的汗珠,在阳光的照射下那么晶莹透亮。
冬天,当我们还在家中享受着温暖时,他们却在严寒下用冻僵的双手,捡拾着每一片被风吹落的叶,打扫着每一条街道,每一个角落都有他们踏过的足迹。
他们的是勤劳的,也是善良的。我记得有一回冬天早上,天上下着鹅毛般的大雪,在上学的.上,我突然摔到了,就是旁边的一位清洁工老大爷把我扶了起来。经过这一次,每天上学、放学路上,我都多看那位老大爷一眼,给他送去敬意的目光。
他们付出了这么多,但我们却常常忽略他们。有时我们会把纸屑及各种垃圾扔到地上,或是扔到他们的眼前。虽然这样,但是一直在付出的清洁工们却不在乎,任劳任怨,每天依然不辞劳苦得保卫我们的城市,希望使我们的城市干净整洁。他们以自己的肮脏脏换来城市的整洁,所以我们的做法显然是不对的。
城市是我们大家的,只有我们大家拉起手来同清洁工一起,共同维护我们的家园。这样我们的家园才会更加美丽;我们的生活才会更加美好。
清洁工,你们是城市的美容师,是创建美好家园的使者,也是我心中的伟人,你们辛苦了。
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。
站在居高临下的地带,遥望着眼下的山水洲城,寒风凛冽,呼灌而来。红透满山的枫叶,如你一腔爱国热血,真挚永恒。对着天空呼啸而去的老鹰,如你远大的志向,劲击长空。没有历代文人***客的悲秋情怀,有的只是那辽阔的胸襟以及对往事深深的回忆。
你就读于湖南第一师范,对学校十分挑剔的你在这里居然安了家,因为这里有赏识你的老师,有理解你的同学,这里还有伟岸的岳麓山,多彩的橘子洲头以及养育了无数代湖湘子女的湘江。少年的你风华正茂,常常挥洒书生意气,挥斥方遒;可你并不迂腐,与同窗指点江山,激扬文字是你的挚爱;你更会到中流击水,浪遏飞舟。
毕业后的你怀着满腔抱负组织的新民学会,创建共产主义组织,为的是挽救国家于危亡之际,就人民与水深火热之中。之后你又进行了一系列革命活动,面对蒋介石的不守信用,面对国 民党留给中国的烂摊子,你深切认识到,政权是由枪杆子中取得的。对于别人的野蛮,您采取的是以硬碰硬的举措,就因为您的这句话,改变了中国共产党创党以来的重大思想失误,因为这句话,您也真正站在了中国历史舞台上。
那年,您回到了自己的家乡:湖南,开展革命活动,您相信湖南人民,相信您曾经求学的这篇土地,这片土地上曾经挥洒过你的热情,一展过你的抱负。再次回来,却是一种焕然一新的感觉,因为你相信,湖南有你的过去,你的未来,将更为辽阔,你坚信中国革命将由你们年青一代有识之士完成。
于是你重游岳麓山,橘子洲头,永用完全不一样的心情去看待这一切,当时正值秋季,橘子洲头上,草木不盛,无多少生机可言。而你,俯瞰着整个橘子洲头,用一代伟人的情怀以及革命乐观精神来看待这一切,胸中有感而发,转瞬泼墨成词,一首《沁园春长沙》就此流芳百世。
又是一年秋风寂寥时,我,秉着游玩的心怀,再次站到了那座刻有沁园春长沙的石碑前,再次看到那激扬的文字,心中似乎也领略了一点那份洒脱的气概,于是心中默念道:
也许大家都听说这样一句话:没有一千次的失败,就没有第一千零一次的成功。这句话,就是伟大的发明家爱迪生说的。
爱迪生一生中有一千多种发明,如;电灯、留声机、发动机、电影等。为人类的发明和进步做出了巨大的贡献。他平均每十五天就有一种新的发明。是世界上当之无愧的的最伟大的发明家。在漫长的一生中,他经历了数不清的失败,他的那些发明,无一不是顽强意志的结晶。这也正验证了他所说的一句话:“失败也是我所需要的,它和成功对我一样有价值。只有在我知道一切做不好的方法以后,我才知道做好一件工作的方法是什么》”为了搞发明创造,他几乎每天都在实验室里辛苦工作18个小时,却在那里吃饭,睡觉,但他丝毫不以为苦。他说:“我一生中从未做过一天工作,我每天都其乐无穷》”爱迪生这个人物使我有很大启发,使我明白一个深刻哲理:做什么事不要怕失败,失败是必定会有的。人不可能要求一次就做的完美,而是要经过多次的失败换取的成功,那才有意义。同事,面对困难,我们要不低头,要:“知难而进,不能半途而废。要:明知山有虎,偏向虎山行。”只有这样,我们才会有一番成就。
爱迪生这个人物会指引我走向成功。我崇拜他,我赞扬他。
