Long, long ago, there were two brothers, the one rich and the other poor. When Christmas Eve came, the poor one had not a bite in the house, either of meat or bread; so he went to his brother, and begged him, in God's name, to give him something for Christmas Day. It was by no means the first time that the brother had been forced to give something to him, and he was not better pleased at being asked now than he generally was.
"If you will do what I ask you, you shall have a whole ham," said he. The poor one immediately thanked him, and promised this.
"Well, here is the ham, and now you must go straight to Dead Man's Hall," said the rich brother, throwing the ham to him.
"Well, I will do what I have promised," said the other, and he took the ham and set off. He went on and on for the livelong day, and at nightfall he came to a place where there was a bright light.
"I have no doubt this is the place," thought the man with the ham.
An old man with a long white beard was standing in the outhouse, chopping Yule logs.
"Good-evening," said the man with the ham.
"Good-evening to you. Where are you going at this late hour?" said the man.
"I am going to Dead Man's Hall, if only I am on the right track," answered the poor man.
"Oh! yes, you are right enough, for it is here," said the old man. "When you get inside they will all want to buy your ham, for they don't get much meat to eat there; but you must not sell it unless you can get the hand-mill which stands behind the door for it. When you come out again I will teach you how to stop the hand-mill, which is useful for almost everything."
So the man with the ham thanked the other for his good advice, and rapped at the door.
Life has its ups and downs, and only true friends always stay around. Like anyone else, I have got many friends. They often help me when I’m in trouble. Especially, when I fail in an examination, they always care for me and encourage me to study harder. Last year, when I was hurt in a basketball game, my friends took me to the nearby hospital at once and look after me by turns. In my eyes, friends are the most precious wealth that one should treasure all his life.
从全国各地的中考作文题目来看,不少试题有“叙说真实故事”或“写出真情实感”之类的要求,一些同学为了让所写的事情意义“深刻”,所写的人物形象“高大”,喜欢凭空编造,任意拔高,结果出现了内容虚假的情况,2002年湖南某市一万多份中考作文中,这类文章达到了50%左右。有的写父母双亡,有的写亲人患绝症,有的写自己断腿断手,有的写“掉到了急流中”……由于缺乏生活,生编硬造时闹出了不少笑话,这类作文最让阅卷老师头疼,评分也往往偏低。如一位农村考生在《感激》一文中说:洪水暴发时,解放军给村民送来了海鲜,城里的小朋友给自己简易的住房安上了空调,内容如此失实!
