Jane Eyre—A Real Beauty
After reading Jane Eyre， I think Jane Eyre is a great woman。 Through aserious of troublesome situations between Jane Eyre and Mr。 Rochester， theauthor set up a great female image before readers: insisting on maintaining anindependent personality， pursuing individual freedom， advocating equality oflife and being confident before hard conditions。
Her early life at Gateshead was terrible， everyone seems harsh on her。 Shesurvives her parents at an early age， and has to live with her ugly aunt andthree cousins。 She suffers large quantities of bad conditions that others maynot experience。 However， she does not give up in despair， she does not destroyherself mentally， instead， Jane Eyre is filled with unlimited confidence， andshe is a strong spirit， a victory over the inner personality。
She is then forced to send to Lowood Institution， unfortunately， life thereturns out to be terrible， too。 She is still under physical and spiritualpunishment。 Mr Brocklehurst insults her to be a liar before all pupils andteachers。 But there she meets one sincere friend Helen Burns and one sincereteacher Miss Temple。 They always treat her well。 She then behaves very well andget many people’s recognition。 Six years later， she makes a teacher there。
After two years teaching life at Lowood Institution， she plans to leavethere to pursuit her own life and happiness。 She was in a position of governessthrough a letter from Thornfield。 Her life was totally changed after that。 Thereshe met a lovely girl， Adele and her master， Mr。 Rochester。 She has a specialfeeling about them。 With the development of the plots， Jane Eyre succeed a largesum of money from his uncle， and through all bitter things which was caused byRochester’s wife in Thornfield， Jane Eyre and Mr。Rockester finally get marriedand lead an ideal life。
I think Jane Eyre is an autobiography of Charlotte Bronte。 Although thestory is made up， the heroine and people's life and the environment in the storywere taken from the details of real people around and experience。 CharlotteBronte described a young girl’s struggling life to express her inner thought:everyone is equal regardless of his or her gender。 The uniqueness of Jane Eyreis not only lies in its truth and the strong artistic appeal， but also lies inthe particular female image。 The love story of Rochester and Jane Eyre vividlyshows the fire of passion and sincere heart strongly reveals their notions oflove。 She looks down upon the upper class who only use their power to do whatthey intend to do and laughs at their stupid to show her independent characterand beauty dream。
In the actual fact， she wasn’t pretty， even herself knows that， and ofcourse， the ordinary appearance make others have bad opinion on her， even herown aunt dislike her。 And some others even thought that she was easy to lookdown upon and tease， but she was totally much more than “the plain and uglytutor”。 And as a little governess she said to her master: “Do you think my poor，obscure， plain， and little has led me to be a soulless and heartless person? Youhave done a wrong thing!”Underneath these lines sees the equality of human inJane Eyre’s mind。 She has affection towards her master， Mr。 Rochester， but whenshe finds that he has already had a wife， she leaves him and her love placewithout consideration。 Although God did not grant her a beauty and wealthperson， instead， God gave her a kind mind and a thoughtful brain。 Her idea ofequality and self-respect impressed us extremely much and make us feel the powerinside her small body。
In my mind， a person’s beauty on the face can only make others feel that heor she is attractive or charming， if his or her mind isn’t the same noble as theappearance， beauty of this kind cannot last for a long time， because otherpeople will one day find that the beauty which had charmed them was only asuperficial one， it’s not sincere， they will not like the person any more。 For along time， only a person’s great virtue， a noble soul， a beautiful heart can becalled as an everlasting beauty， just as Albert Einstein said: “A person must beheld accountable for their biological survival or all of the meaning or purpose，from an objective point of view， I think it is ridiculous。 Everyone can have acertain ideal， which determines the ideal and his efforts to determine thedirection。 In this sense， I never easy and the enjoyment of life as an end initself， the ethical basis of this， I call it the ideal pigsty。 I lit up theroad， and continue to give me new courage to face up to the
pleasure of the ideal life is good and the beautiful and true。 If it werenot for like-minded between the warm feelings， but focus on the objective world，the arts and sciences in the field of work will never reach the target， and thenit seems to me that life would be empty。 There are efforts to pursue the goal ofthe vulgar - property， vanity， luxury living， I think it is despicable。”
Now I get a better understanding of what real beauty is， as we are allhuman-beings， so we should distinguish whether a man is noble or vulgar。
Jane Eyre’s story makes me thinking about our future life and I learn muchfrom her experiences， I know everyone will have a better tomorrow if one holdshis beliefs， regardless of one’s status and the situation he is in。

This is the famous British writer Jane Austen masterpiece xxxPride andPrejudicexxx in the opening section， leads some in the early nineteenth centuryEngland and on the value of the classic love story。

记得二十年前在德国小城旅行，看到街头有无人值守的图书报刊摊，行人可以自由取阅摊上的杂志，可以坐在旁边长椅上翻看，也可以放进包里带走，而且人人面无愧色，坦然自如，就像从自家书架上拿书一样。
问在德国大学教书的朋友，他告诉我，同样的书报摊遍布城市，拿走书的人读完后可以在任何一个类似的书报摊归还，然后继续拿另一本回去读。有些真正有爱心的人还会把自己家里的书无偿地贡献出来，放在书报摊上，供陌生人阅读。在这样的过程中，不牵扯一分钱的费用问题，只是书吸引读者、读者爱上书这样一种心灵的交流、沟通、轮换。久而久之，在这城市里已成传统。
这件事成了那次旅行的最大收获，每次想起来，那个城市的名字都让我这个读了半辈子书的人感到一股由衷的温暖。
十年前，国内的社区书屋、农家书屋也逐渐建立起来，星火燎原，最终遍布大江南北的城市与乡间。看到坐在书屋里认真阅读的市民、村民，我都强烈地感受到，国民文化素养正在快速增长，每个人的读书热情正在被悄然唤醒，东方文明之邦的丰碑将会再次高高竖起。
感慨之余，我仍然觉得，难道读书仅仅止于“读书”吗？古代的读书人也是像我们今天这样子“读书”吗？“读书”究竟是为了干什么？
翻阅《论语》，我看到了孔子谆谆教导我们的一个大写的“仁”字，也读到学生子贡向孔子请教时提到的“博施于民而能济众”这句话。
忽然之间，我顿悟了什么是真正的“读书”，那就是每一个读书人孜孜不倦读书的同时，一定要懂得“受与施”的道理，将自己读到的书、拥有的知识财富广泛地散播于四方，带动身边的人一起进步，才称得上是“会读书的读书人”。
看到那则24小时营业书店的新闻，我知道，书店的管理者、工作人员才是真正“爱书、读书”的“仁”人。他们不但读书，而且懂得读书人究竟应该为这个世界奉献什么。于是，他们忽略了走入书店的所有人的身份符号、衣着外貌，而统一把那些人看作是“读书人”，只要能为这些“读书人”做些什么，他们就衷心地感到快乐，觉得自己的工作是有意义的。
人本来就没有高低贵贱之分，书亦如此。
知识本来就没有功利深浅之说，纯真的人亦如此。
反观古人，老杜呼吁“安得广厦千万间，大庇天下寒士俱欢颜”的同时，却止于呼吁，没能真正为天下寒士庇护心灵的“广厦”；诗仙太白草书“五花马，千金裘，呼儿将出换美酒，与尔同销万古愁”之际，却在饱醉高歌、放纵诗情后酣然睡去，浑然忘了天下还有那么人为潦倒流离、生活拮据而愁。
只有在这家书店，在平安祥和的深夜里，因为一群真、善、美的“爱书人”的努力与辛劳，一群内心坦然静谧的“读书人”才能坐在书店的灯下，卸下心灵与身体的桎梏，各自寻求着自己的精神慰藉。脑海中出现的这样一幅温情画面，给我带来的震撼犹胜二十年前在德国小城看到的无人书报摊。
我想，一本好书、一盏暖灯、一个小窝、一碗浓醇的心灵鸡汤……足以抚慰行路人疲惫不堪的心了。
这样的一个书店，才是真真正正24小时不打烊的心灵鸡汤店。
Jane Austen's novel Pride and Prejudice is a lighthearted tale of love and marriage in eighteenth-century England. It centers on the elder sisters of the Bennet family, Jane and Elizabeth. Their personalities, misunderstandings and the roles of pride and prejudice play a lavishing story. This story is told from third point of view. From my perspective Jane Austen wanted to convey love wins over prejudice and to not just take in the saying of first impression but to look in the person's character deeper. Jane Austin was born in 1775 in Stevenson, Hampshire. Her family wasn't rich but managed to give her a decent education. She was the seventh of eight children of her father, a clergyman. Like other young women of her social class, Jane and her sister Cassandra were educated mostly at home in subjects of music, drawing, painting, needlework, and social behavior. Her father's encouragement and her own enjoyment in reading led Jane to became very well read. At fourteen she began to write little plays for home theatricals. She also wrote nonsense story's to entertain her family. Jane would spend the majority of the evening in the corner of the room with her manuscript and blotter observing the world surrounding her. She would write when the room was quiet and if she were interrupted, she would cover her manuscript with a blotter and continued when the room was silent again. Before Jane Austen died of cancer in 1817 at Winchester, she had already published six successful novels: Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Northanger Abbey, Mansfield Park, Emma, and Persuasion, respectively. Jane Austen is now buried in the ancient cathedral in Winchester of her native Hampshire. Pride and Prejudice lets you travel through lives back then but also she portrays the lives of modern days. You can read it and you might be able to recall some parts of the book as your life, but in a different time period

英语文章读后感
Shakspere (wrong spelling) created Hamlet--a man with wisdom and courage。In order to revenge on his uncle for killing his father， he pretented (spellingmistake) to be mad and suffered a series of misery。 On the contrary， we can alsosay that Hamlet is rude and selfish for he did not think twice before hisrevenge 。 if (Capitalize xxxIfxxx since it is the beginning word of the sentence。) acountry has no king， how can a country keep alive (You need a question mark heresince it is a question。) So， every thing has two sides， the bright side andadumbral side。 Every time we make a decision we have to think twice。
Comment:
Be careful with your spelling， grammar， and punctuation。 Too many uncessarymistakes。It is good that you looked at both the dark and bright sides ofHamlet。 Thats quite objective and convincing。
高中英语阅读教学是英语教学的重点和难点，也是培养学生英语阅读能力的有效途径。为了激发学生阅读兴趣、加强对学生阅读方法的指导、训练他们的阅读思维，我们提出了《高中英语阅读教学策略研究》。
在进行《高中英语阅读教学策略研究》的题研究以，我们每个成员都认真履行自己的职责，积极完成自己的工作。大家相互学习，相互促进。我对以下几点感触颇深。
一、阅读材料至关重要
阅读材料就像我们做美食的食材。新鲜、和口味的食材才有可能烹制出我们喜欢的美食。同样，新颖、有趣的阅读材料对于阅读教学的成功至关重要。
二、教学方法锦上添花
教学方法就象是烹饪大师的厨艺。教师就是一个个身怀绝技的烹饪大师。英语阅读教学过程就是烹饪大师烹制美食的过程。大师们通过对精挑细选好的精品食材进行加工。好的厨艺让优质的食材变得让食客们(学生们)爱不释”口”，全盘消灭。当然，每个烹饪大师的工艺不尽相同，烹制出的美食的味道也各不相同！
三、评价激励事半功倍
及时、恰当地对学生的学习过程和阅读结果进行评价。教师不失时机地给不同层次的学生以充分的肯定、激励和赞扬，使学生在心理上获得自信和成功的体验，激发学生学习动机，诱发其学习兴趣，内化学生的人格，使学生积极主动学习，达到事半功倍的效果。评价及时。英国教育家约翰〃洛克说：“儿童学习任何事情的最合适时机是他们兴致高，心里想做的时候。”所以在堂上，教师的激励性评价应该选择在最佳时机，要及时。事过境迁的激励性评价，对学生是不起作用的。当学生全身心投入学习并取得进步时，教师应该及时给予他们赞许与肯定，激发他们继续积极主动的参与小组合作学习。教师评价应该客观、公正。既不能把学生说的一无是处，又不能言过其实说成十全十美。
当学生回答问题出现了错误时，教师要及时指出并加以纠正，不能还说你回答的“很好”“真棒”，这样对学生是一种误导，学生会认为老师是在讽刺他。教师客观、公正的评价才能使学生明确自己努力的方向，才能促进学生的有效发展。比如，某个学生的字写得不好，老师可以这样说：“你的字写得很正确，如果再写工整、美观一点就更好了。”这样的评价语言，对学生既起到了激励引导的作用，又不会伤害学生的自尊心。著名教育家陶行知先生说：“教育是心心相印的活动，惟独从心里发出的，才能打动心的深处。”由此可见，作为教师对学生进行评价必须带有赏识的眼光，必须动情。古人云：“感人心者莫先乎情。”当学生得到老师真诚的欣赏与肯定后，他们会充满自信，自我激励，不断地进步。

A Book Report of The Black Tulip
By Li Minli, Class 5, 20_
The Black Tulip is a novel written by Alexandre Dumas Pere, simplified by Micle Wester, and was published by Shanghai Translation Press in 1983.
The story is set in the 17th century in Holland when fierce political conflicts prevailed while the society rioted.
In this story, Cornelius Van Baerle being so crazy about tulips tries to grow a black tulip without any other color on it at all in order to gain quite a substantial sum of money offered to the winner. However, Boxtel, a man living in the next door, also has a crush on the money. He then supervises every movement of Cornelius secretly for fear that Cornelius may grow better tulips than his own. Besides this, he also carries out many surreptitious activities to destroy Cornelius’ tulips by all means. Once a while, he accuses Cornelius of harbouring letters that might be harmful to the government so that Cornelius is sent to the prison without giving provocation. This nearly causes him to death. Even here, Cornelius manages to grow tulips with the help of Rosa, the daughter of the prison-keeper. But unfortunately, their first black tulip is stolen by Boxtel. It’s Rosa who proves the truth and saves Coenelius by herself!
It’s a happy ending in this novel as it says “Those who have suffered much, have a right to be happy.” This quotation brings the whole story to an end and will certainly motivate readers to go on. Rosa herself will remain as quite a good example, too.
Besides, “justice could defeat evil however difficult it is and whatever the process would be” can be easily seen as the author’s deep philosophy towards life. By reading it, the reader can both enjoy the plots and be stimulated! Sample 2
A piggy named Wilbur and a spider named Charlotte became friend。 The futureof this poor piggy is a delicious course of the Christmas' feast。 Though everconsidering escaping， yet after all he is only a pig。 While Charlotte--althoughbe viewed as small and insignificant--said， xxxLet me help you!xxx Whereupon sheused her silk to weave words such as xxxSome Pigxxx and xxxTerrificxxx in her web， whichare regarded as a marvel by human beings。 Those marvelous words alter Wilbur'sdestiny， and finally earned him a happy and peace future。 Nevertheless， at thatmoment， the life of Charlotte almost pleted its span…
The most impressive episode of this book is the notable friendship betweenCharlotte and Wilbur。 A spider is a threat to a piggy at first glance， butloneliness suddenly makes Wilbur be familiar with Charlotte and surprisingly hefound that this spider is extraordinary warmhearted。
What impressed us deeply is the words xxxYou never die， I'll save you!xxxbyCharlotte when Wilbur was wailing xxxI don't wanna die! I don't!xxx To fulfill herpromise， Charlotte devoted all her lifetime and asked no rewards， until themoment she died。
Such kind of friendship is pure and clean， Only leaving the selfless loveand pure kindness。 When this sort of emotion has already been lacked seriouslyin contemporary society， this story undoubtedly moves the readers。 Maybe everyreader envies that Charlotte has a Wilbur， and Wilbur has a Charlotte。
The word xxxGoodbyexxx has already gone with the wind， acpanied by her silk，only leaving a Charlotte's web in everyone's heart。
（一）AnIngenious Love Letter
There once lived a lad who was deeply in love with a girl, but disliked by the girl’s father, who didn’t want to see any further development of their love. The lad was eager to write to the girl, yet he was quite sure that the father would read it first. So he wrote such a letter to the girl:
My love for you I once expressed
no longer lasts, instead, my distaste for you
is growing with each passing day. Next time I see you,
I even won’t like that look yours.
I’ll do nothing but
look away from you. You can never expect I’ll
marry you. The last chat we had
was so dull and dry that you shouldn’t think it made me eager to see you again.
If we get married, I firmly believe I’ll
live a hard life, I can never
live happily with you, I’ll devote myself
but not
to you. No one else is more
harsh and selfish and least
solicitous and considerate than you.
I sincerely want to let you know
what I said is true. Please do me a favor by
ending our relations and refrain from
writing me a reply. Your letter is always full of
things which displease me. You have no
sincere care for me. So long! Please believe
I don’t love you any longer. Don’t think
I still have a love of you!
Having read the letter, the father felt relieved and gave it to his daughter with a light heart. The girl also felt quite pleased after she read it carefully, her lad still had a deep love for her. Do you know why? In fact, she felt very sad when she read the letter for the first time. But she read it for a few more times and , at last, she found the key – only every other line should be read, that is the first line, the third, the fifth … and so on to the end.
（二）AnEmpty Box
Once upon a time, a man punished his 5-year-old daughter for using up the family's only roll of expensive gold wrapping paper. Money was tight, and he became even more upset when on Christmas Eve, he saw that the child had pasted the gold paper so as to decorate a shoebox to put under the Christmas tree.
Nevertheless, the next morning the little girl, filled with excitement, brought the gift box to her father and said, xxxThis is for you, Daddy!xxx
As he opened the box, the father was embarrassed by his earlier overreaction.
But when he opened it, he found it was empty and again his anger flared. xxxDon't you know, young lady, xxx he said harshly, xxxwhen you give someone a present there's supposed to be something inside the package!xxx
The little girl looked up at him with tears rolling from her eyes and said: xxxDaddy, it's not empty. I blew kisses into it until it was all full.xxx
The father was crushed. He fell on his knees and put his arms around his precious little girl. He begged her to forgive him for his unnecessary anger.
An accident took the life of the child only a short time later. It is told that the father kept that little gold box by his bed for all the years of his life. Whenever he was discouraged or faced difficult problems he would open the box, take out an imaginary kiss, and remember the love of this beautiful child who had put it there.
In a very real sense, each of us as human beings have been given an invisible golden box filled with unconditional love and kisses from our children, family, friends and God.
There is no more precious possession anyone could hold.
（三）Happiness Equateswith Fun?
I live in Hollywood. You may think people in such a glamorous, fun-filled place are happier than others. If so, you have some mistaken ideas about the nature of happiness.
Many intelligent people still equate happiness with fun. The truth is that fun and happiness have little or nothing in common. Fun is what we experience during an act. Happiness is what we experience after an act. It is a deeper, more abiding emotion.
Going to an amusement park or ball game, watching a movie or television, are fun activities that help us relax, temporarily forget our problems and maybe even laugh. But they do not bring happiness, because their positive effects end when the fun ends.
I have often thought that if Hollywood stars have a role to play, it is to teach us that happiness has nothing to do with fun. These rich, beautiful inpiduals have constant access to glamorous parties, fancy cars, expensive homes, everything that spells xxxhappinessxxx.
But in memoir after memoir, celebrities reveal the unhappiness hidden beneath all their fun: depression, alcoholism, drug addiction, broken marriages, troubled children, profound loneliness.
The way people cling to the belief that a fun-filled, pain-free life equates happiness actually diminishes their chances of ever attaining real happiness. If fun and pleasure are equated with happiness, then pain must be equated with unhappiness. But, in fact, the opposite is true: More times than not, things that lead to happiness involve some pain.
As a result, many people avoid the very endeavors that are the source of true happiness. They fear the pain inevitably brought by such things as marriage, raising children, professional achievement, religious commitment, civic or charitable work, and self-improvement.
（四）Today is a Gift
Two men, both seriously ill, occupied the same hospital room. One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon to help drain the fluid from his lungs. His bed was next to the room‘s only window. The other man had to spend all his time flat on his back. The men talked for hours on end.
They spoke of their wives and families, their homes, their jobs, their involvement in the military service, where they had been on vacation. And every afternoon when the man in the bed by the window could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see outside the window. The man in the other bed began to live for those one-hour periods where his world would be broadened and enlivened by all the activity and color of the world outside.
The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake. Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Young lovers walked arm in arm amidst flowers of every color of the rainbow. Grand old trees graced the landscape, and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance. As the man by the window described all this in exquisite detail, the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and imagine the picturesque scene.
One warm afternoon the man by the window described a parade passing by. Although the other man couldn‘t hear the band - he could see it in his mind‘s eye as the gentleman by the window portrayed it with descriptive words.
Days and weeks passed. One morning, the day nurse arrived to bring water for their baths only to find the lifeless body of the man by the window, who had died peacefully in his sleep. She was saddened and called the hospital attendants to take the body away.
As soon as it seemed appropriate, the other man asked if he could be moved next to the window. The nurse was happy to make the switch, and after making sure he was comfortable, she left him alone. Slowly and painfully, he propped himself up on one elbow to take his first look at the world outside. Finally, he would have the joy of seeing it for himself. He strained to slowly turn to look out the window beside the bed. It faced a blank wall.
The man asked the nurse what could have compelled his deceased roommate who had described such wonderful things outside this window. The nurse responded that the man was blind and could not even see the wall. She said, xxxPerhaps he just wanted to encourage you.xxx
（五）Is Packing Important to You?
A young man was getting ready to graduate from college. For many months he had admired a beautiful sports car in a dealer's showroom, and knowing his father could well afford it, he told him that was all he wanted.
As Graduation Day approached, the young man awaited signs that his father had purchased the car. Finally, on the morning of his graduation, his father called him into his private study. His father told him how proud he was to have such a fine son, and told him how much he loved him. He handed his son a beautiful wrapped gift box. Curious, but somewhat disappointed, the young man opened the box and found a lovely, leather-bound Bible, with the young man's name embossed in gold.
Angrily, he raised his voice to his father and said, xxxWith all your money you give me a Bible?xxx He then stormed out of the house, leaving the Bible.
Many years passed and the young man was very successful in business. He had a beautiful home and a wonderful family, but realizing his father was very old, he thought perhaps he should go to see him. He had not seen him since that graduation day. Before he could make the arrangements, he received a telegram telling him his father had passed away, and willed all of his possessions to his son. He needed to come home immediately and take care of things.
When he arrived at his father's house, sudden sadness and regret filled his heart. He began to search through his father's important papers and saw the still new Bible, just as he had left it years ago.
With tears, he opened the Bible and began to turn the pages. As he was reading, a car key dropped from the back of the Bible. It had a tag with the dealer's name, the same dealer who had the sports car he had desired. On the tag was the date of his graduation, and the words… xxxPAID IN FULLxxx.
How many times do we miss blessings because they are not packaged as we expected? I trust you enjoyed this. Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; but remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for. Sometimes we don't realize the good fortune we have or we could have because we expect xxxthe packagingxxx to be different. What may appear as bad fortune may in fact be the door that is just waiting to be opened.
（六）The Baby Eagle
Once upon a time there was a baby eagle living in a nest perched on a cliff overlooking a beautiful valley with waterfalls and streams, trees and lots of little animals, scurrying about enjoying their lives.
The baby eagle liked the nest. It was the only world he had ever known.
