男孩儿回家后,拿起笔就写了起来。直到晚饭前,他才拿出了写满三张纸的作文给父亲看。作文里男孩儿那理想的生活真是太美好了:大人不用上班,每天呆在家家里看电视,要不就一起去登山;孩子们也不用上学,可以整天玩游戏机、踢足球、打篮球。一切工作都交给了机器人,只要人们把想要做的事情告诉机器人,一切都会有机器人打理好。
父亲看过后,并没有像男孩儿所想的那样夸赞他,父亲只是说:“这就是你理想中的生活吗?这样的生活真的美好吗?”男孩儿听了以后不解的看着父亲。
第二天,男孩儿的`作文经过老师的批阅后,只得了60分。
几天后,老师又让学生当一回“记者”,去采访一下自己的父母,看看他们心中“理想的生活”是怎样的。
回到家,男孩儿问父亲:“您理想中的生活是怎样的呢?”父亲说:“我理想的生活有三点就够了。第一,吃得下饭;第二,睡得着觉;第三,笑的出声。”男孩儿听了后,一下子跳了起来,激动的说:“爸爸,这可是老师布置给我们的作业啊!您就不能发挥想象,想象一种美好的世界,一个理想的生活吗?您所说的理想的生活也未免太平淡无奇了吧!”父亲说:“你现在是记者,你在采访我,我说什么你就写什么,如果你想让我说你想听的话,又何必采访我呢?”男孩儿没有办法,只好不情愿的在本子上写了父亲说的那三句话。
第二天早上老师收走了作业。在下午的客商,男孩儿的采访记录被当作范文在班上朗读,这次他得了98分。
下课后,男孩儿找到了老师,不解的问两次作文的分数为什么会相差的这么多。老师笑着回答:“你理想的生活的确是不错,但人们在生活中什么都不做只是玩儿,就会高兴,就会幸福吗?不,人活着就要劳动,就要有价值。例如,我的丈夫丢了工作,已经很长时间吃不下饭,睡不着觉,很长时间都没有笑过了。生活就是这样,只要一切顺心,平平淡淡才是做理想的生活!”
男孩儿若有所悟。
我理想中的未来生活是绿色型的环保世界,到处都有花草树木,到处都能听见鸟儿的高声歌唱。人们不再担心洪水会把沙土冲走,也不再担心土地沙漠化。
我理想中的未来生活还是高科技的。人们可以居住在“家装型”汽车上到处游走,没有固定的居所,相互间都用无线电子信号联系。小孩子们上学也是呆在家里用卫星系统通过高级显示频来读书,教师教学也不用再用口讲得半死了,全都是自动化。道路上,也没有了拥挤,没有了汽车尾气的排放,全都用磁悬浮来代替燃料的燃烧,从而“温室效应”这一大难题也随之消失。世界到处也没有了刺耳的喇叭声,人们自觉遵守着交规。
我理想中的未来生活还是高素质的。人人都具有相当高的文化素质,没有了粗言野语,没有了打架斗殴,有的更多也是礼让、谦虚。警察抓小偷的事也绝迹了,所有的警察都改行当公益人员了。小孩子们也不再逃学了,他们认真、努力读书,热爱学习,热爱创造,热爱生活。小孩子们一但成了年就离开父母去过自己的生活,寻找自己人生的道路,坚强、勇敢地屹立于巅峰之上,不再是温室里的花朵了。
由于人们的高素质及对环境的重视和保护,我理想中的未来生活也是原始的。灭绝了的恐龙等原始生物都被科学家救活了,还把它们精心养育在原始公园中,让人们去参观、冒险,人们又可以亲近大自然、呼吸原始的新鲜空气了。
这就是我理想中的未来生活,它是完美而又快乐的世界,是一个快乐的天堂。
Many people simply regard Pride and Prejudice as a love story, but in my opinion, this book is an illustration of the society at that time. She perfectly reflected the relation between money and marriage at her time and gave the people in her works vivid characters. The characters have their own personalities. Mrs. Bennet is a woman who makes great efforts to marry off her daughters. Mr. Bingley is a friendly young man, but his friend, Mr. Darcy, is a very proud man who seems to always feel superior. Even the five daughters in Bennet family are very different. Jane is simple, innocent and never speaks evil of others. Elizabeth is a clever girl who always has her own opinion. Mary likes reading classic books. (Actually she is a pedant. Kitty doesn’t have her own opinion but likes to follow her sister, Lydia. Lydia is a girl who follows exotic things, handsome man, and is somehow a little profligate. When I read the book, I can always find the same personalities in the society now. That is why I think this book is indeed the representative of the society in Britain in the 18th century.
The family of gentleman in the countryside is Jane Austen’s favourite topic. But this little topic can reflect big problems. It concludes the stratum situation and economic relationships in Britain in her century. You can find these from the very beginning of this book.
The first sentence in this book is impressive. It reads: “It is a truth well known to all the world that an unmarried man in poss ession of a large fortune must be in need of a wife”. The undertone is very clear: the foundation of the marriage at that time is not emotion but possession.
People always think that Austen was an expert at telling love stories. In fact, the marriage in her book is not the result of love, but the result of economic needs. After reading this book, I know the truth is that a poor woman must be in need of a husband, a wealthy man.
I couldn’t forget how eager Mrs. Bennet wants to marry off her daughte rs. If you want to know why she is so crazy about these things, I must mention the situation in Britain at that time. Only the eldest son had the privilege of inheriting his father’s possessions. Younger sons and daughters who are used to luxurious lives have no choice but marry a man or woman in possession of a large fortune to continue their comfortable lives. Thus, we can see that getting married is a way to become wealthier, particularly for women without many possessions. Jane Austen told us that money and possession determined everything, including marriage and love in her century.
In “Pride and Prejudice”, the sister of Mr. Bingley strongly opposed his plan of marrying Jane because the Bennets don’t have many possessions and their social positions are much lower than them. From this, we can see there are a lot of obstacles for a not very rich woman to marry a wealthy husband. The society, the relatives would not allow them to get married.
In modern society, although the marriages of economic needs have decreased rapidly, the concept of “money determines everything” is still rooted in some people’s mind. A lot of parents try hard to interfere their children’s marriages. Education background, possessions, jobs remains the main reason that may influence one’s marriage. Marry for money is still a big problem in our
society. We can’t help thinking: can money determine everything?
Austen left this problem for us to think. The genius of Jane Austen lies in this perfect simplicity, the simplicity that reflects big problems. Although Austen was only 21 when she wrote “Pride and Prejudice”, her sharp observation of social lives makes the style of this book surprisingly mature and lively. The plots in her works are always very natural. The development of the plot is as inevitable as a problem in mathematics. I think the depth of Pride and Prejudice is the reason that makes this book prominent and classic. Today, her book still can be the guide telling us the economic relationships both at her time and in modern time.
I read the Chinese version of “Camille” a few years ago. At that time I was deeply moved by the main character Marguerite Gautier. “Camille” or “The Lady of the Camellias” by Alexandre Dumas, fils, is the story of Marguerite Gautier, a young courtesan, or kept woman, in Paris in the mid 1800's, and how she falls in love with a young man, Armand Duval, and then tries to escape from her questionable past. Unfortunately, it comes back to haunt her and she ends up returning to that life and dies painfully and alone, but with the knowledge that she was a noble woman at heart. When I first began to read the book, I did not care for Marguerite or her attitude or lifestyle, but as I got further into the narrative, I realized that her saucy attitude was a front to cover the lonely woman that she really was. She felt used, abused and unloved, until the gentle Armand Duval came into her life and showed her that he loved her as a person and not for what she could do for him. It must have taken great courage for Marguerite to leave the life she had lived for so long, knowing all along that it was probably too good to be true and would not last indefinitely. And it also showed that Marguerite really loved Armand Duval for she could even change herself for him.
However, happiness didn’t last for long. When M. Duval, Armand's father, came to her, pleading for her to leave Armand to save both Armand's reputation and that of his younger innocent sister, Marguerite saw a way to become pure of heart, if not in body. She felt that it was her duty, because she loved Armand so much, to do this even though it meant giving up her own happiness and hurting Armand temporarily. She reluctantly returned to her former life, knowing that.some day Armand would forgive her. Sadly, she died in debt and basically alone, except for her one female friend, Julie Duprat, who helped her during her illness. She had her journal sent to Armand after her death, explaining why she had made the choices she had. I think Dumas's last few lines about Marguerite being the exception, not the rule were quite true, and I also agreed with his view that while her lifestyle could not be condoned, we as a society assume that all of these type of women are cold and heartless, while this may not always be the case. A person can make the wrong choices in life when they are young, and try to redeem themselves, but sometimes past situations prevent them from changing their lives, even though they desperately wish to do so. This applies to both men and women in many different types of circumstances: involvement in crime; drug or alcohol abuse; gambling; prostitution; financial problems; poor marriage choices; etc. And this is the fact, which exists in the whole society.
As far as the other characters in the book, I think Marguerite was right in saying that no one truly cared about her, but only wanted something from her, the only exceptions being Armand and Julie Duprat. Of course, the Comte de G. and Comte de N. wanted her body and appearance. The
Duke needed to “wake up and smell the coffee” and realize that she could never replace his dead daughter. If he truly cared, he could have helped her leave her lifestyle without “keeping” her himself. And lastly, Prudence was a blood-sucking leech who used Marguerite almost worse than the men. I also think she was jealous of the fact that Marguerite had so much more courage than herself and someone truly loved her.
Last morning, when tiding my bookshelf, I took this book out of the shelf, and a dried flower flew away from the book. It was pale blue, very transparent, with thin fine veins. a dried flower flew away from the book. It was pale blue, very transparent, with thin fine veins. I held it against the morning light and blew on it. The soft breeze carried it away. Camille is just like the camellia, she could never escape from the destiny of withering. But it wasn’t her fault; it’s because of the evil of Capitalism and the hideousness of that society.
Suddenly, I remembered a saying: “Women are like the flowers”. Those pretty women are like those beautiful flowers; their delicate beauty makes people feel they are the miracle of life. However, even the God envies their beauty. It seems that beautiful women always have tragic endings. As we are normal persons, even we can see the hideousness of humanity that results in their fate of withering, we can at most ask quietly in our hearts: Where have those beautiful flowers gone? Where have they gone?
The Life And Adventures Of Robinson Crusoe
It seemed to be such a coincidence that the night after I finished reading The Life And Adventures Of Robinson Crusoe, I was to dine in a restaurant distinctly related to the book itself. This restaurant was no other than the famous American-styled “Friday ’s. ” The reason for mentioning this restaurant is quite straightforward to all the gentlemen, ladies and children who have read the novel and enjoyed it, which is the fact that this restaurant was, most likely, named after the American Native in Robinson Crusoe, called Friday. This restaurant offers very exceptional service, for instance when the waitresses are asked to order dishes they kneel rather than stand, which, unlike the other restaurants I have been to, makes it easier for the customers to hear them speak. Moreover, Friday’s friendly services to the customers help them to make better choices when ordering dishes. I remembered when I went to Friday ’s last time; the waitress kindly described the items on the menu with precise details. It turned out that the combo I initially wanted was designed to be shared among a large group, not to be eaten by one person. I think this restaurant shows many commendable features similar to that of Friday. Friday brought emotional warmth to the people around him with his appealing personality. I think it was this personality that affected Crusoe and made him say that he loved Friday when Crusoe didn ’t express love for his parents, brothers, sisters, or even his wife. “When he espied me, he came running to me, laying himself down again upon the ground, with all the possible signs of an humble, thankful disposition, making many antic gestures to show it to let me know how he would serve me as long as he lived.” This was what Friday did after Crusoe had rescued him from the two savages chasing him. It was easy for me to see why Crusoe had loved Friday. After sometime, Crusoe and Friday were to rescue Friday’s father. When Friday reunited with his father, the scene was easy to move anyone: “It would have moved anyone to tears to have seen how Friday kissed him, embraced him, hugged him, cried, laughed, halloed, jumped about, danced,
sung; and then sung and jumped about again, like a distracted creature. It was a good while before I could make him speak to me.” This is my favourite chapter in the whole book. It is hard to see why Friday is an ex-savage when he can have personalities more praiseworthy than many civilized people, viz. Crusoe himself. “When he (Friday went to him (Friday’s father, he would sit down by him, open his breast, and hold his father’s head close to his bosom, half an hour together, to nourish it; then he took his arms and ankles, which were numbed and stiff with the binding, and rubbed them with his hands.” Furthermore, Friday’s expression of loyalty in asking Crusoe to kill him rather than leave him is more heartfelt than anything Crusoe ever says or does.
Crusoe, on the absolute contrary, seems incapable of deep feelings, as shown by his account of leaving his family—he never shows any emotions. After a moving lecture from Robinson’s father about his future, he still decided to follow his own wandering ambition. Careless was he about the wishes of his parents to keep him alive and prosperous, as he was the only child left in the family. When he came back from the island which he had lived on for twenty eight years, he found that it had been too late to tell his parents that he was still alive, but yet again he did not feel sorry for them; he also did not feel sorry for the two people who had to live in misery for nearly thirty years under the allusion all of their sons were dead. He had the same feelings for his wife: when he was married, he said it was “not either to my disadvantage or dissatisfaction”, implying that it was also neither to his advantage nor his satisfaction. Moreover, after his wife died, Robinson did not think of looking after the three children they had, but went back to the island, which he had lived on for twenty-eight years. It was on this trip which Robinson Crusoe revisited “His Island ” as he called it. I feel that Robinson ’s indifference to his family is almost emotionally cruel.
Before had clearly shown the contrast between Crusoe’s and Friday’s personalities, as when Friday, in his joyful reunion with his father, displayed far more emotion toward his family members than Crusoe, whereas Crusoe never mentions missing his family or dreams about the happiness of seeing them again. I think Defore is very successful in introducing Friday as part of the novel, it makes the whole novel seem much more complete and gripping to the reader, as well as proving that Defoe’s ideology of racism is civilized unlike many other Europeans at that time; natives and savages are not worse than others but can perhaps even be more modern and civilized. Those are the reasons of why I like The Life And Adventures Of Robinson Crusoe and Friday.
男孩儿的老师在班里布置了一个作业,让每一位同学回家后写一篇关于自己“理想的生活”的作文。
男孩儿回家后,拿起笔就写了起来。直到晚饭前,他才拿出了写满三张纸的作文给父亲看。作文里男孩儿那理想的生活真是太美好了:大人不用上班,每天呆在家家里看电视,要不就一起去登山;孩子们也不用上学,可以整天玩游戏机、踢足球、打篮球。一切工作都交给了机器人,只要人们把想要做的事情告诉机器人,一切都会有机器人打理好。

种子向往光明天空,豆芽向往绿色海洋,花苗向往芬芳世界,而我向往美好生活……
我向往的美好生活,有桃花源的恬静。当清晨的第一缕金色的阳光悄悄地划破天际时,没有对面楼房像纳粹战争中炮火连天的轰隆建筑声。当深夜的第一束皎洁的月光轻轻撒入房间时,没有黑暗中的挑灯夜战。多一份恬静,多一份美好。
我向往的美好生活,有桃花源的简单。朋友的情谊,很纯,很真,没有任何利益来搅浑这清澈如水的友谊。老师的爱,不需要太伟大,因为那势如潮水的澎湃我们承受不起,只要平凡就好。父母的爱,不需要太无私,因为那千军万马之势我们承受不起,只要简单就好。多一份简单,多一份美好。
我向往的美好生活,有桃花源的朴实。朋友之间寥寥数语,便能够传递快乐,而不是刺耳的埋怨。师生之间一个微笑,便能够化解矛盾,而不是冰冷的僵局。亲人之间一声问好,便能够温暖心窝,而不是横眉的冷对。多一份朴实,多一份美好。
我向往的美好生活,有桃花源的充实。白天,课堂上有徐老师的渊深,有周老师的有趣,有林老师的多彩……虽然一天七节课下来很累,心上却很充实,而不是麻木地上着课。傍晚,电话中有与好友的谈笑风生,即使天气非常非常地寒冷,心中却很温暖,而不是无奈地写作业。夜晚,客厅里一家人聚在一起,即便一点儿话也没有说,心里却很幸福,而不是父亲的滚滚浓烟,大鱼大肉,毫无意义的赌博与电脑游戏陪伴。时有浓浓书香弥漫,甚是充实。多一份充实,多一份美好。
我向往的美好生活,有桃花源的和谐。校园里学生积极地与老师共同探究学习问题,即使意见不同,也不会吵得面赤耳红,而会理智细心地对待。课余时与朋友之间总是最自然,最灿烂,最美丽的笑容,没有争吵,没有对峙,在合作中竞争,在竞争中合作,共同努力,共同进步,共同分享,共同分担。家庭中父母与我们像好朋友,而不是将迂腐的传统思想灌入我们大脑中,不会自认为自己是教育的权威,做什么都是对的,更不会欺骗孩子还反咬一口。多一份和谐,多一份美好。
一份恬静,一份简单,一份朴实,一份充实,一份和谐便拼凑成了我向往的美好生活。
种子向往的光明天空终有一天会实现,豆芽向往的绿色海洋终有一天会实现,花苗向往的芬芳世界终有一天会实现,而我向往美好生活终有一天会实现……
人是需要有一个理想的。
小时候,家里人常常抱起在田间地头,蜂环蝶绕中玩耍嬉笑的我,轻轻地问:“你长大后要干什么呢?”我那里悄悄地在他们耳边吐出一串字:“可不可以当一个天天自由自在的人啊?”
上小学了,班主任有有时候看着坐在大椅子上给各种学生忙乱各种各样的试卷时,会微笑着迈着步子走过来把手搭在我肩上,亲和地问:“长大后想干什么呢?”,我慢慢放下手中的红笔,冒出沉甸甸又轻飘飘的`两个字:“老师。”
六年级毕业了,同学们争先发着一长又一长五彩斑斓的同学录,稀奇古怪的问题里,又偷偷地钻出了一行字“长大后想做什么?”我拿着长长细细的铅笔,在手上转啊转,转出来一行“我想当作家。”
上初中了,每个学期四次重要的成绩出来之后,总是努力地保持微笑,却怎么也驱不走心中的乌云,也就是那么一次,突然想到了从小到大一直被别人质问的一句话:“你长大后要干什么啊?”对啊,从小到大什么职业都被自己说得正经得真像那么一回事,现在想想依旧是找不到自己的定位。
想想的话,也就不知不觉中走在了学校的青石小路上,一条像小蛇样蜿蜒的走道,旁边种着各种各样可爱却又看了名字也不认得的树,像在对你打招呼,可是你又不懂植物语,也只能作罢。株株小草在树木下静静屹立着,像接受检阅的官兵一样那般神气,如果真不仅是有“野火烧不尽,春风吹又生”那般坚毅。
陡然地,看见了不远处一位老师正在为学生辅导功课,就像那树一样和善,也如草一般坚毅。
心中不觉间下了个定数……
……
窗外,细雨滴嗒,滴在地温润的树叶上,滴在那不屈的小草上,滋润万物。脑海里的记忆仿佛也被浸透,却终而抽离开来。
半晌,我抬头看一眼天上的雨,忽而在久久不能写下半字的纸上,写下一行如溪流般化开的字:
“渭城朝雨邑轻尘,客舍青青柳色新。”当一个像雨一样的人固然也是不错的吧。
因为我知道,生活需要理想。
