月滿樓

一想起暑假去褒河森林公園的這件事，我的眼前就浮現(xiàn)出褒河森林公園那訇然作響的瀑布。

　　那是今年暑假的一個星期六早晨，我剛吃完飯，正在看電視。忽然，坐在沙發(fā)上的爸爸提議說：“我們?nèi)グ由止珗@吧，那里有泉水和瀑布”。聽到這里，我心理想，我早想看瀑布了，今天終于有機會了。便對爸爸說：“好啊！”這時，正在掃地的媽媽看了看我，又看了看爸爸，然后說道：“好吧，少數(shù)要服從多數(shù)。”于是我們準(zhǔn)備好了食物，開著車去了公園。在去公園的路上，我問爸爸：“褒河森林公園是個怎樣的地方?。俊卑职只卮鸬剑骸澳莾河袠淞?、高山、瀑布等自然風(fēng)光景色，特別美麗?！甭犃诉@些話，我便更加向往去褒河森林公園了。

　　終于到公園了。我們一進入風(fēng)景區(qū)，就看見一條瀑布懸掛在崖壁上，從山上直瀉下來。那作響的水聲，像一只發(fā)怒的獅子正在咆哮。我們來到瀑布旁，瀑布激起的水花賤在我們身上，涼絲絲的，舒服極了。雖然是夏天，但瀑布的水特別冰涼，一伸手便可以撩起來洗洗臉。接著我們循著石階來到一個小溪旁，我把頭一伸，看見里面竟然養(yǎng)著許多的金魚。我把食物投入池子里，金魚似乎聞到了香味，都爭先恐后地游過來，搶著吃食物。哈，真是一群貪吃鬼。之后我們又參觀了天葶，褒姒故里等景色，美得我們都不愿下山了。我不僅享受了清涼的泉水，還參觀了許多自然風(fēng)光，真高興??！

　　至今想起來這件事，我內(nèi)心還感到非常高興呢。

同窗情

　　三年時光，猶如白駒過隙一般，匆匆而逝，轉(zhuǎn)眼間就到了離別的時刻。今天6月7日，也是高考的第一天，慢慢走出了語文考場，對于即將到來的離別，感觸又深了一步。還有一天半的時間，高考就將結(jié)束，意味著高中生涯也將就此畫上句號。這對于三年的同窗友情，也是一種艱難的考驗。或許，這一別，以后就難以重逢，但回想過去，那些往事仍歷歷在目。

　　高中時期，是我們?nèi)松凶蠲β?，也是最充實的階段。從早7點到晚10點，超負(fù)荷的學(xué)習(xí)，也常常讓我們心力交瘁，還有那種種考試的壓力，更讓我們談之色變，疲于應(yīng)對。然而，這段時期，卻也是積淀同窗友情的最重要時期。雖然我們還處于青春期，但對友情的認(rèn)知，已讓每一個學(xué)生記住了他的同班甚至同級的好友。就像我，高中生活已經(jīng)過去十好幾年了，每每回憶起當(dāng)年的同窗好友，卻猶如身在眼前一般。

　　學(xué)習(xí)重要，友情卻更珍貴。從初中升高中，來自各地的同學(xué)聚集到一處，雖然互不相識，卻都是為了同一個目標(biāo)而來，那就是順利迎接高考，進入理想中的大學(xué)。在這場三年的學(xué)習(xí)征程中，同學(xué)們從陌生到熟悉，從互不相識到相見恨晚，其中也不乏不愉快的事情發(fā)生。有時候，或許只是為了一件平常小事，一個學(xué)習(xí)觀點，鬧得互不理睬，甚至形同陌路。

　　這種同學(xué)關(guān)系的暫時陰影，在他們當(dāng)時看來，或許可以大鬧特鬧，但是多年之后，再回首這段插曲，無疑都會感覺當(dāng)初的幼稚。

　　那么，暮然回首，究竟該如何處理同學(xué)間的關(guān)系呢？就像平時人與人相處，多一點尊重、多一點包容、多一點理解，同窗友情自然就會穩(wěn)如磐石，堅持這個相處原則，就算遇到再大的爭執(zhí)，各退一步，海闊天空，這種偶爾的爭執(zhí)，反而會成為同窗友情升華的助推劑。

　　初入高中，每個同學(xué)或許都有自己心中的想法，都有自己的為人處世方式，但是，要想讓自己的高中生活真正過的充實，過的有意義，過的無遺憾，就必須用相互尊重、包容、理解的態(tài)度，來對待同班同級乃至同校的每一個同學(xué)。畢竟，只有傾心待人，方能贏得別人尊敬，才能換來別人的以誠相待，這是亙古不變的原則。

　　三年的時間或許對于高一而言，還是有點漫長，但對于已經(jīng)經(jīng)歷高考的學(xué)生來說，三年已經(jīng)走到盡頭，時間無法倒流，我們也無法回首?？傊?，高考揮不去曾經(jīng)擁有的同窗情，亦揮不去我們曾經(jīng)有過的美好回憶。

　　同窗情

　　人過留名，雁過留聲，看天地是否有知音。摯友難覓，肯推心置腹的，不見得有幾人。世上一遭，機關(guān)算盡、滿盤皆輸，到頭來，不知是為了啥，暮然回首，才發(fā)現(xiàn)，這勾心斗角的一生，竟無一人可以依賴傾訴，未免太過可悲。

　　小鎮(zhèn)的清晨常常不那么美好，樓道間閃動著我飛掠的身影，匆匆上了樓，急急來到學(xué)校，嗖一聲便掏出作業(yè)，翻到那空題處，臉變得跟飛一樣，帶著濃濃的哭腔，一臉的誠懇和悲哀，拽住同學(xué)的袖子不放，道，好心人，你便可憐可憐我，教我解了這道題罷?！铱纯矗睦锊粫?？我教你?！?？你肯教我？

　　如同天籟之音般，及時的出現(xiàn)的，是你的清脆的聲音，我好似抓住了救命稻草般，慌忙追問。

　　你不緊不慢走過來，掃了一眼我的作業(yè)本，點點頭。我大喜，有解題之法？你道：“有，只是，你想借來抄么？”我道：“當(dāng)然，不然如何？”

　　你盯著我，良久，把作業(yè)本拿了過來，道，拿去吧。我高興萬分，迅速把空題照著補上。正欲交作業(yè)，你一把揪住我，問我：“你就這么交了？”我道，廢話，不交還怎地？你幽幽嘆口氣：“題是答了，你知解題方法？”

　　我白你一眼，道：“要它來作甚？只須做了便是?！蹦愣⒅遥抗馍铄涞酶端粯?，嘲笑到：“不知道解題方法，那下次，下下次，考場上，沒了幫手，如何解答？”

　　我頓時語塞。

　　你突然厲聲道：“你有四題不會，就是說老師講的課你有四個知識難點，打算怎么辦？就這么得過且過，能抄則抄，不能則放過？”見我沒話，又道：“我印象中，你不是個不思進取的人，只一個懶便能動搖了你的學(xué)習(xí)意志，如此學(xué)習(xí)，怎能學(xué)好？”

　　我羞愧不已，只覺得想找個地縫鉆進去。你見我尷尬，話鋒一轉(zhuǎn)：“我知道，我這番話，你聽了肯定會改，我希望你能把它轉(zhuǎn)述給更多的人，不可否認(rèn)，你是個優(yōu)秀的學(xué)生，總有一天，也會趕超上我的。”

　　我聽著，頓時感到顏面大增，向你投去一個感激的眼神，你會心一笑，如冬日暖陽般溫暖。

　　我久久不能忘記那天的情景，身為班長的你，是如何糾正著身邊同學(xué)的每一個錯誤，你不止是老師的得力助手，更是同學(xué)們不可多得的真正的好友，能夠結(jié)交這么一個班長，是我三生有幸！

　　難忘同學(xué)情

　　呵呵！不知不覺中學(xué)畢業(yè)好多年了，有的時候回想起來中學(xué)時候做的一些事，感覺好可笑啊，有的同學(xué)從畢業(yè)以后，就在沒聯(lián)系過，同學(xué)們，現(xiàn)在你們還好嗎？

　　同學(xué)們，現(xiàn)在你們還好嗎？20xx年6月30日，我們正式畢業(yè)了，各自拿到了畢業(yè)證，也意味著我們相互告別了母校，告別了同學(xué)，也告別了老師，各奔東西，各尋前程。很快3年過去了，其實挺想你們的，想著曾經(jīng)5班里的歡聲笑語，想著我們的打打鬧鬧。其實每年最期盼的就是同學(xué)聚會，同學(xué)聚會的收獲就是開心快樂！至今想起還回味無窮，激動不已，只是有的同學(xué)不和，很難坐在一起吃一頓飯，曾經(jīng)一起度過的1095天，一轉(zhuǎn)眼再過142天又一個1095天了！讀了10幾年的書，沒收獲多少知識，但是收獲到了比知識更珍貴的東西，那就是同學(xué)情了！隨著年齡的增長，這種感情似乎越來越濃烈了。

　　同學(xué)們，現(xiàn)在你們還好嗎？同學(xué)情是什么？為什么令人時常想起，難以忘懷？為什么令人一生牽掛，三世相親？為什么令人風(fēng)雨同舟，同甘共苦？那是因為，同學(xué)情至純至真同窗情高中作文（8篇）同窗情高中作文（8篇）。像玉壺冰心，似銀色月光，讓人心透明、溫馨。沒有名利的雜質(zhì)，沒有物欲的濁流，只有共同走過的一段黃金歲月。我們有多少的思念堆積在心底要訴說，我們有多少的牽掛要傳遞。我們走過年輕的沖動變的成熟，我們告別單身的自由有了更多的牽掛。（雖然我還沒告別單身吧）我們都有了自己的事業(yè)，有了更多要去關(guān)心的人和事！我們懂得了生活，懂得了忍讓、包容和遷就。雖然我們不常見面，但我們的心依然相通，因為珍貴的友情把我們緊緊連在一起。我們不再年輕幼稚，我們都有點沉穩(wěn)老成，甚至滄桑了。那是因為我們把彼此深深地刻在了記憶里，時時回憶，所以聚會相見時覺得依然那樣熟悉親切。覺得沒變是因為我們彼此的真誠依然如故，我們的友情依然如故。

　　同學(xué)們，現(xiàn)在你們還好嗎？同學(xué)情，多麼珍貴的情誼！無論你的職位崇高還是卑微，無論你的生活富裕還是貧窮，同學(xué)依然是你的同學(xué)。他們一直在默默關(guān)心祝福你。這才是世界上最無私最純潔的感情，讓人難忘的同學(xué)情！

The Language of Music A painter hangs his or her finished pictures on a wall, and everyone can see it. A composer writes a work, but no one can hear it until it is performed. Professional singers and players have great responsibilities, for the composer is utterly dependent on them. A student of music needs as long and as arduous a training to become a performer as a medical student needs to become a doctor. Most training is concerned with technique, for musicians have to have the muscular proficiency of an athlete or a ballet dancer. Singers practice breathing every day, as their vocal chords would be inadequate without controlled muscular support. String players practice moving the fingers of the left hand up and down, while drawing the bow to and fro with the right arm—two entirely different movements.

Singers and instruments have to be able to get every note perfectly in tune. Pianists are spared this particular anxiety, for the notes are already there, waiting for them, and it is the piano tuner’s responsibility to tune the instrument for them. But they have their own difficulties; the hammers that hit the string have to be coaxed not to sound like percussion, and each overlapping tone has to sound clear.

This problem of getting clear texture is one that confronts student conductors: they have to learn to know every note of the music and how it should sound, and they have to aim at controlling these sound with fanatical but selfless authority.

Technique is of no use unless it is combined with musical knowledge and understanding. Great artists are those who are so thoroughly at home in the language of music that they can enjoy performing works written in any century.

02 Schooling and Education

It is commonly believed in United States that school is where people go to get an education. Nevertheless, it has been said that today children interrupt their education to go to school. The distinction between schooling and education implied by this remark is important.

Education is much more open-ended and all-inclusive than schooling. Education knows no bounds. It can take place anywhere, whether in the shower or in the job, whether in a kitchen or on a tractor. It includes both the formal learning that takes place in schools and the whole universe of informal learning. The agents of education can range from a revered grandparent to the people debating politics on the radio, from a child to a distinguished scientist. Whereas schooling has a certain predictability, education quite often produces surprises. A chance conversation with a stranger may lead a person to discover how little is known of other religions. People are engaged in education from infancy on. Education, then, is a very broad, inclusive term. It is a lifelong process, a process that starts long before the start of school, and one that should be an integral part of one’s entire life.

Schooling, on the other hand, is a specific, formalized process, whose general pattern varies little from one setting to the next. Throughout a country, children arrive at school at approximately the same time, take assigned seats, are taught by an adult, use similar textbooks, do homework, take exams, and so on. The slices of reality that are to be learned, whether they are the alphabet or an understanding of the working of government, have usually been limited by the boundaries of the subject being taught. For example, high school students know that there not likely to find out in their classes the truth about political problems in their communities or what the newest filmmakers are experimenting with. There are definite conditions surrounding the formalized process of schooling.

03 The Definition of “Price”

Prices determine how resources are to be used. They are also the means by which products and services that are in limited supply are rationed among buyers. The price system of the United States is a complex network composed of the prices of all the products bought and sold in the economy as well as those of a myriad of services, including labor, professional, transportation, and public-utility services. The interrelationships of all these prices make up the “system” of prices. The price of any particular product or service is linked to a broad, complicated system of prices in which everything seems to depend more or less upon everything else.

If one were to ask a group of randomly selected individuals to define “price”, many would reply that price is an amount of money paid by the buyer to the seller of a product or service or, in other words that price is the money values of a product or service as agreed upon in a market transaction. This definition is, of course, valid as far as it goes. For a complete understanding of a price in any particular transaction, much more than the amount of money involved must be known. Both the buyer and the seller should be familiar with not only the money amount, but with the amount and quality of the product or service to be exchanged, the time and place at which the exchange will take place and payment will be made, the form of money to be used, the credit terms and discounts that apply to the transaction, guarantees on the product or service, delivery terms, return privileges, and other factors. In other words, both buyer and seller should be fully aware of all the factors that comprise the total “package” being exchanged for the asked-for amount of money in order that they may evaluate a given price.

04 Electricity

The modern age is an age of electricity. People are so used to electric lights, radio, televisions, and telephones that it is hard to imagine what life would be like without them. When there is a power failure, people grope about in flickering candlelight, cars hesitate in the streets because there are no traffic lights to guide them, and food spoils in silent refrigerators.

Yet, people began to understand how electricity works only a little more than two centuries ago. Nature has apparently been experimenting in this field for million of years. Scientists are discovering more and more that the living world may hold many interesting secrets of electricity that could benefit humanity.

All living cell send out tiny pulses of electricity. As the heart beats, it sends out pulses of record; they form an electrocardiogram, which a doctor can study to determine how well the heart is working. The brain, too, sends out brain waves of electricity, which can be recorded in an electroencephalogram. The electric currents generated by most living cells are extremely small – often so small that sensitive instruments are needed to record them. But in some animals, certain muscle cells have become so specialized as electrical generators that they do not work as muscle cells at all. When large numbers of these cell are linked together, the effects can be astonishing.

The electric eel is an amazing storage battery. It can seed a jolt of as much as eight hundred volts of electricity through the water in which it live. ( An electric house current is only one hundred twenty volts.) As many as four-fifths of all the cells in the electric eel’s body are specialized for generating electricity, and the strength of the shock it can deliver corresponds roughly to length of its body.

05 The Beginning of Drama

There are many theories about the beginning of drama in ancient Greece. The on most widely accepted today is based on the assumption that drama evolved from ritual. The argument for this view goes as follows. In the beginning, human beings viewed the natural forces of the world-even the seasonal changes-as unpredictable, and they sought through various means to control these unknown and feared powers. Those measures which appeared to bring the desired results were then retained and repeated until they hardened into fixed rituals. Eventually stories arose which explained or veiled the mysteries of the rites. As time passed some rituals were abandoned, but the stories, later called myths, persisted and provided material for art and drama.

Those who believe that drama evolved out of ritual also argue that those rites contained the seed of theater because music, dance, masks, and costumes were almost always used, Furthermore, a suitable site had to be provided for performances and when the entire community did not participate, a clear division was usually made between the "acting area" and the "auditorium." In addition, there were performers, and, since considerable importance was attached to avoiding mistakes in the enactment of rites, religious leaders usually assumed that task. Wearing masks and costumes, they often impersonated other people, animals, or supernatural beings, and mimed the desired effect-success in hunt or battle, the coming rain, the revival of the Sun-as an actor might. Eventually such dramatic representations were separated from religious activities.

Another theory traces the theater's origin from the human interest in storytelling. According to this vies tales (about the hunt, war, or other feats) are gradually elaborated, at first through the use of impersonation, action, and dialogue by a narrator and then through the assumption of each of the roles by a different person. A closely related theory traces theater to those dances that are primarily rhythmical and gymnastic or that are imitations of animal movements and sounds.

06 Television

Television-----the most pervasive and persuasive of modern technologies, marked by rapid change and growth-is moving into a new era, an era of extraordinary sophistication and versatility, which promises to reshape our lives and our world. It is an electronic revolution of sorts, made possible by the marriage of television and computer technologies.

The word "television", derived from its Greek (tele: distant) and Latin (visio: sight) roots, can literally be interpreted as sight from a distance. Very simply put, it works in this way: through a sophisticated system of electronics, television provides the capability of converting an image (focused on a special photoconductive plate within a camera) into electronic impulses, which can be sent through a wire or cable. These impulses, when fed into a receiver (television set), can then be electronically reconstituted into that same image.

Television is more than just an electronic system, however. It is a means of expression, as well as a vehicle for communication, and as such becomes a powerful tool for reaching other human beings.

The field of television can be divided into two categories determined by its means of transmission. First, there is broadcast television, which reaches the masses through broad-based airwave transmission of television signals. Second, there is nonbroadcast television, which provides for the needs of individuals or specific interest groups through controlled transmission techniques.

Traditionally, television has been a medium of the masses. We are most familiar with broadcast television because it has been with us for about thirty-seven years in a form similar to what exists today. During those years, it has been controlled, for the most part, by the broadcast networks, ABC, NBC, and CBS, who have been the major purveyors of news, information, and entertainment. These giants of broadcasting have actually shaped not only television but our perception of it as well. We have come to look upon the picture tube as a source of entertainment, placing our role in this dynamic medium as the passive viewer.

Andrew Carnegie

Andrew Carnegie, known as the King of Steel, built the steel industry in the United States, and , in the process, became one of the wealthiest men in America. His success resulted in part from his ability to sell the product and in part from his policy of expanding during periods of economic decline, when most of his competitors were reducing their investments.

Carnegie believed that individuals should progress through hard work, but he also felt strongly that the wealthy should use their fortunes for the benefit of society. He opposed charity, preferring instead to provide educational opportunities that would allow others to help themselves. "He who dies rich, dies disgraced," he often said.

Among his more noteworthy contributions to society are those that bear his name, including the Carnegie Institute of Pittsburgh, which has a library, a museum of fine arts, and a museum of national history. He also founded a school of technology that is now part of Carnegie-Mellon University. Other philanthrophic gifts are the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace to promote understanding between nations, the Carnegie Institute of Washington to fund scientific research, and Carnegie Hall to provide a center for the arts.

Few Americans have been left untouched by Andrew Carnegie's generosity. His contributions of more than five million dollars established 2,500 libraries in small communities throughout the country and formed the nucleus of the public library system that we all enjoy today.

08 American Revolution

The American Revolution was not a sudden and violent overturning of the political and social framework, such as later occurred in France and Russia, when both were already independent nations. Significant changes were ushered in, but they were not breathtaking. What happened was accelerated evolution rather than outright revolution. During the conflict itself people went on working and praying, marrying and playing. Most of them were not seriously disturbed by the actual fighting, and many of the more isolated communities scarcely knew that a war was on.

America's War of Independence heralded the birth of three modern nations. One was Canada, which received its first large influx of English-speaking population from the thousands of loyalists who fled there from the United States. Another was Australia, which became a penal colony now that America was no longer available for prisoners and debtors. The third newcomer-the United States-based itself squarely on republican principles.

Yet even the political overturn was not so revolutionary as one might suppose. In some states, notably Connecticut and Rhode Island, the war largely ratified a colonial self-rule already existing. British officials, everywhere ousted, were replaced by a home-grown governing class, which promptly sought a local substitute for king and Parliament.

09 Suburbanization

If by "suburb" is meant an urban margin that grows more rapidly than its already developed interior, the process of suburbanization began during the emergence of the industrial city in the second quarter of the nineteenth century. Before that period the city was a small highly compact cluster in which people moved about on foot and goods were conveyed by horse and cart. But the early factories built in the 1840's were located along waterways and near railheads at the edges of cities, and housing was needed for the thousands of people drawn by the prospect of employment. In time, the factories were surrounded by proliferating mill towns of apartments and row houses that abutted the older, main cities. As a defense against this encroachment and to enlarge their tax bases, the cities appropriated their industrial neighbors. In 1854, for example, the city of Philadelphia annexed most of Philadelphia County. Similar municipal maneuvers took place in Chicago and in New York. Indeed, most great cities of the United States achieved such status only by incorporating the communities along their borders.

With the acceleration of industrial growth came acute urban crowding and accompanying social stress-conditions that began to approach disastrous proportions when, in 1888, the first commercially successful electric traction line was developed. Within a few years the horse-drawn trolleys were retired and electric streetcar networks crisscrossed and connected every major urban area, fostering a wave of suburbanization that transformed the compact industrial city into a dispersed metropolis. This first phase of mass-scale suburbanization was reinforced by the simultaneous emergence of the urban Middle Class, whose desires for homeownership in neighborhoods far from the aging inner city were satisfied by the developers of single-family housing tracts.

10 Types of Speech

Standard usage includes those words and expressions understood, used, and accepted by a majority of the speakers of a language in any situation regardless of the level of formality. As such, these words and expressions are well defined and listed in standard dictionaries. Colloquialisms, on the other hand, are familiar words and idioms that are understood by almost all speakers of a language and used in informal speech or writing, but not considered appropriate for more formal situations. Almost all idiomatic expressions are colloquial language. Slang, however, refers to words and expressions understood by a large number of speakers but not accepted as good, formal usage by the majority. Colloquial expressions and even slang may be found in standard dictionaries but will be so identified. Both colloquial usage and slang are more common in speech than in writing.

Colloquial speech often passes into standard speech. Some slang also passes into standard speech, but other slang expressions enjoy momentary popularity followed by obscurity. In some cases, the majority never accepts certain slang phrases but nevertheless retains them in their collective memories. Every generation seems to require its own set of words to describe familiar objects and events. It has been pointed out by a number of linguists that three cultural conditions are necessary for the creation of a large body of slang expressions. First, the introduction and acceptance of new objects and situations in the society; second, a diverse population with a large number of subgroups; third, association among the subgroups and the majority population.

Finally, it is worth noting that the terms "standard" "colloquial" and "slang" exist only as abstract labels for scholars who study language. Only a tiny number of the speakers of any language will be aware that they are using colloquial or slang expressions. Most speakers of English will, during appropriate situations, select and use all three types of expressions.
