Self-esteem and the backbone of high school composition materials
1, Tao Yuanming was an honest official, "getting out of the mud without being stained", not bowing to the villagers for "five buckets of rice", resigning his post and retiring to the mountains and forests, leaving many poems for future generations.
2. Zhu Ziqing, a great writer who suffered from poverty and illness in his later years, is a man with a backbone of steel. He would rather starve to death than accept American relief food.
3. Wen Tianxiang, the general of the Anti-Japanese War in the Southern Song Dynasty, faced with the generous temptation of the Yuan Dynasty, never gave in, preferring to die rather than surrender, and gave his life for his country, leaving a great ambition of "Who will live and die since ancient times, keeping the heart of Dan in the history books", which will go down in history forever.
Wrestling piano
There is a story in Tan Yi in Europe and America that an artist broke the piano: a famous violinist will play the most precious violin handed down from the Renaissance, and this piano is priceless. At the end of the song, the audience was fascinated by the wonderful music of the precious instrument and unanimously marveled at the superb skills of the former violin maker. At this time, the violinist waved his hand and smashed the piano, which shocked all four seats.
At this time, the host came to the stage and announced: "What was broken just now was a piano with a price of more than one yuan. The violinist did this to tell you that the beauty of music lies not in the quality of the instrument, but in the people who play it. Now, please enjoy the music played with a really precious violin. " As a result, the violinist played the piano again, and the same wonderful music came leisurely. The audience no longer paid attention to the value of the piano, but devoted themselves to the artistic realm.
The monetary value of common materials for senior high school composition lies in the use method.
Ford, the king of cars, is not a stingy man, but he seldom makes donations. He stubbornly believes that the value of money lies not in quantity, but in the way it is used. His biggest worry is that donations often fall into the hands of people who are not good at using them. Once, Martha, Georgia? Principal Betty asked Ford to donate money to expand the school, but Ford turned her down.
She said, please donate a bag of peanut seeds to me. So Ford bought her a bag of peanut seeds. Ford later forgot about it. Unexpectedly, a year later, Ms. Betty visited again and gave him 600 dollars. It turns out that the original bag of peanut seeds planted by the students is a year's harvest. Without saying anything, Ford immediately gave Betty $6 million.
Ford's worries are by no means superfluous. If the recipients get the money too easily, it is often difficult to feel the bitterness and wisdom hidden behind the money. I admire Betty's great respect for every bit. What she leads the children to sow is actually enough to prove their ability to accept the kindness of others.
Fish can't talk.
The U.S. Federal Parliament approved the construction of a reservoir for power generation on the Little Tennessee River, and invested more than 1 100 million dollars successively. When the dam project was about to be completed, biologists found a rare fish called snail fish at the bottom of the dam. If the dam is finally completed, it will affect the living environment of this fish and lead to its extinction. So environmental organizations filed a lawsuit with the court, demanding that the dam stop working and give up the plan to build a reservoir. But in the first lawsuit, they failed: the court of first instance held that the dam was nearly completed, and it was unwise to waste taxpayers' money more than 1 billion dollars to protect a fish species, and refused to judge the dam to stop working. Environmental groups appealed to the Supreme Court.
Finally, according to the endangered species act promulgated by the federal government 1973, these small fish won their rights in the Supreme Court. These small fish can live freely in their homes, and they are surrounded by permanently abandoned dams worth more than 1 billion dollars.
