  导读:一个小小的帮助,却能给别人带来重大的影响。生活中处处充满着助人为乐的机会,只要我们用心观察,播洒爱心,就能成为那个披着翅膀的天使。
  When I was a middle school student, a memorable thing occurred.
  It was a Friday. On the way home from school I saw a classmate called Kyle, who carried a thick pile of books in his arms. I thought, “Why does he carry all the books home? He must be a bookworm.”
  Kyle was just transferred to our class. I shrugged and went on walking, when I suddenly saw a large group of children knocking down the books in his hands on purpose, and even some of them tripping Kyle, he immediately fell to the ground.
  His glasses flying off, Kyle raised his head. I read the painful expression from his eyes and felt my heart tightened, so I ran to him. He was groping for his glasses on the ground. I handed his glasses to his hands. He thanked me with a smile on his faces, which was the smile of gratitude from the bottom of his heart.
  I learned where we lived was not far away from each other. So we returned home together. As I thought he was not bad and asked whether he took interest in playing soccer together on Saturday, he accepted.
  Throughout the weekend we all mixed together and he made a very good impression on my friends and me.
  Since then, Kyle and I became best friends.
  Years later, Kyle specially invited me to attend his graduation. In his speech, he said, “The graduation is the best moment to express our gratitude for those who have helped us. I would like to take this opportunity to thank my best friend.”
  Then, he began to talk about how we had known each other, and I was surprised to widen my eyes. Until the day I knew: that weekend many years ago, he had intended to kill himself! He said he had carried all his books home, so that after his death his mother wouldn’t have to specially go to the school to arrange his things left behind. Having said that, he looked at me sitting in the audience with a smile on his face and went on, “However, I was so lucky that my friend pulled me back from the brink of death.”
  At that moment, I truly understood what he said, “Never undervalue the power your behavior can produce, for your little action may change the fate of another person. Heaven makes as each of us face and influence another life in some way.”
  Some people love to light up the lives of others with their own happiness and love. It is always worthwhile to do so. When we break our wings and can’t fly, the friends around us are the angels who hold us in their arms.

【策划缘起】  随着中国社会的快速发展,人们的婚恋观念也在发生着巨大变化,从原有的单一取向逐渐向多元取向转变,正如女性研究者何清涟在《女性沉沦的成因分析》中所提到的那样:“二十年来,中国社会中价值层面被颠覆得最彻底的就是婚姻与恋爱观”。一项由零点调查和指标数据最新发布的关于现代婚恋趋势的调查结果表明:现代社会男女更加自我的情感需求将成为爱情和婚姻的重要构成,未婚同居、离婚、独身、协议夫妻、周末夫妻

我攀登过享有“华夏一绝”盛名的武功山,欣赏過武汉闻名天下的樱花,游览过美若仙境的千佛洞,领略过三亚具有热带海滨城市特色的迷人风光,但最让我流连忘返的还是我们家乡的“天下第一洞”——义龙洞。  暑假的一天,爸爸妈妈带我来到了这个令我神往的地方。  我们一下车,就迫不及待地前往义龙洞。首先映入眼帘的是洞的上方写着的几个金光闪闪的大字:天下第一洞。洞口竖着的介绍牌上写着:义龙洞旧称孽龙洞,是一个形成于1
一、我提出的问题  苏轼是我国宋朝时期的一位大文豪。苏轼在文、诗、词三方面都达到了极高的造诣,堪称宋代文学最高成就的代表。而且苏轼的创造性活动不局限于文学,他在书法、绘画等领域内的成就都很突出,对医药、烹饪、水利等技艺也有所贡献,苏轼典型地体现着宋代的文化精神。在苏轼的一生中,有很多影响过他的人,这些人通过不同的方式造就了苏轼。  俗话说:“近朱者赤,近墨者黑。”那么,这样伟大的一个诗人他都交过哪

当国内高校纷纷用自主招生来锁住高分考生时,香港高校也抛出了重要砝码。香港浸会大学除了可为内地考生颁发一、二、三等入学奖学金以外,还设置了700多个奖学金项目,供本科阶段学生申请。  作为香港历史悠久的高等教育学府之一,浸会大学近年来吸引了不少内地考生的目光。然而,要进入这所高校,对考生来说并非易事。以重庆为例,2012年香港浸会大学总共在内地招录了190名学生,重庆只录取了4名,平均录取分数超过一
2019年6月,我到上海进行了三天的研学旅行,这是我人生中重要的三天。  第一天晚上,我们走在了复旦大学的校园里,正碰上复旦学子们在考试,校园里安安静静。有一间教室里灯火通明,黑板上写着“军事理论考试”,我们凑近想看看,监考老师很严肃地瞪着我们,我们只能止步。几间教室都是如此,我们本来想蹭蹭课的,只能作罢了。  第二天我们去了科技馆,里面的东西太丰富了,而我感兴趣的是关于未来的——计算机和人工智能
年底工作繁忙,本想趁着元旦假期休息一下的我,一周前就被儿子千叮万嘱,必须陪他参加画室的元旦活动。哥哥一天八遍地念叨,3岁的妹妹也跟着起劲,这不,今天我只得一拖二参加活动。带娃苦,上班又带娃更苦,上班还要带俩娃,真是“苦不堪言”。  好在画室刚刚搬到了离家很近的文化公园,于是我们娘儿仨一路哼着歌溜达着就过去了。冬日午后的阳光懒懒地洒在身上,舒服极了,让人不由得身心都放松下来。  画室门口摆放着一座用
今天,我和妈妈在外婆家玩。外婆养了很多鸡,妈妈问:“儿子,你说哪些是公鸡,哪些是母鸡?”我一听,愣住了。  外公捉来了公、母鸡各1只,我们仔细研究后发现:  1. 公鸡体格大,母鸡体格小。  2. 公鸡冠子大,母鸡冠子小。  3. 公鸡羽毛长,母鸡羽毛短。  4. 公鸡尾巴长,长得很漂亮;母鸡尾巴不长,长得也不漂亮。  5. 公鸡會“喔——喔——喔——”地唱歌,母鸡生蛋后会“咯咯嗒”地叫!  我把
早在出生以前,DNA可能早已决定一个人需要和渴望运动的程度,以及未来肥胖的风险。  过去有关双胞胎研究以及全基因组关联分析暗示,人类约50%的身体活动可能取决于基因。  人类倾向运动与否有别于与生俱来的有氧运动能力。有些人可能先天有很高的耐力,却懒得离开沙发;或恰恰相反。  几乎没人知道运动的基因变异何时并入人类基因组中,而这个问题相当重要。  ●多基因指數 可预测风险  一项新的基因测试可以预测
