arms of Mom and dad
Finally, it was Friday again, and the students poured out of the campus like the tide, sitting in the car, walking. Every student can't wait to return to the arms of Mom and dad. I'm no exception, of course. Having never walked home before, I suddenly felt like walking today. Because we used to charter buses to and from school. So full of confidence, I decided to walk home and try the feeling of walking. I made an appointment with several classmates and walked happily on the highway together. We walked for a while and saw a tricycle selling glutinous rice balls on the side of the road. I felt in my pocket to see if I had any change, and there were three dollars left. I grabbed the money, ran to where, and asked the boss: "How much is a bowl?" The boss said, "Three dumplings for 1 yuan." I spent 2 yuan, bought two bowls of dumplings, a bowl for my classmates, we ate with relish, we walked while eating, while chatting. My classmate said, "This dumpling is delicious! I want to buy another bowl to eat!" I said: "In front of those students have gone far, only two of us walk behind, next time to buy it!" We quickened our speed and caught up with the Army. Suddenly, an old woman came out from behind, the old woman has been walking behind us, without saying a word. At first, we had nothing to fear. However, the old woman has been following us, still silent. We thought she was bad, and we went faster and faster. Finally, we also ran up, ran for a while, looked back, the old woman disappeared. That was a real thrill! We have been walking fast, and more than wo heart looked behind, or afraid of the old woman to catch up. All I could think was, "Is the old woman a bad person?" Networking to identify and translate... We walked on for a while, and the afternoon bus back to town came from behind, and we were eager to take the passenger car home. However, some students protested: "What did we say before, we are not allowed to ride home!" Several of us lined up on both sides of the highway, watching helplessly as the bus went further and further away. So I calmed down. I thought, since it is their own decision to walk, we must honor their promises. We walked while enjoying the scenery of the roadside, the red leaves on the mountain are beautiful! How nice it would be to have a camera or a phone that could take pictures! ! After a while, there were many big trucks in front of us, and they covered us with dust. Originally good asphalt road, but by some big trucks pressure potholes, but also scattered all the way soil, our environment here made "gray". It is everyone's duty to care for the environment. It's been about two hours. We're almost home! The "stone" in my heart has fallen! Walking, it's fun, but you're afraid of getting caught by the bad guys. If you continue to walk next time, be sure to ask a few more students to walk together, and to observe the environment and safety on both sides of the road.You've heard of Johnny, right? Yeah, cockroaches. Perhaps you think they are unbearably annoying. But I don't think so, it is an insect that can be compared with Superman! They have oil on their body to avoid choking in water, their antennae can feel the existence of danger in time, and their vitality is very strong, we step on them, but their eggs are still alive, so they are named Xiao Qiang. How tough they are! In the past, there were many small strong in our family, the more they played, the more drugs they were not afraid of, anyway, the more they dealt with the more rampant. Once, has been a small strong fell into the toilet bowl, if not I flushed the water, early to climb up, his strength surprised me, what is it so strong? I was lost in thought. After thinking for a while, I finally understood why it had such a strong ability to survive, why it broke into the human home regardless of life and death, why it appeared earlier than the dinosaurs but miraculously survived. One is because the human family affairs are rich, the second is to live, the third is because of its diversity of survival ability, in summary, he wants to live! Since Xiao Qiang wants to live, what reason do human beings have not to cherish life?

The world is full of
The world is full of surprises. With the continuous increase of knowledge, I often like to think and explore some interesting phenomena found in life. Every discovery makes me happy, and every exploration makes me fascinated. Today, let me tell you about one of them. Every morning, grandma will give me carefully prepared nutritious breakfast, fragrant boiled eggs are essential. However, peeling the eggshell is a laborious job, because it will be "bumpy" and unrecognizable. How can you peel a slippery egg quickly and well? I suddenly remembered that in the book "1000 small Encyclopedia of Life", there was a small experiment introduced - the lunch box peeling eggs. So I decided to try it myself. I first prepared the required ingredients according to the book - a hard-boiled egg, a crisper and some cold water. Then, I put the boiled eggs into the crisper, add a certain amount of cold water (water and the height of the eggs should be about the same), cover the lid, and then I shook up vigorously. 10... 9... 8... 3... 2... 1, time is up. I couldn't wait to open the lid. Woah! I was surprised to find a whole boiled egg lying in the middle of the box. The experiment was a success! But why can the lunch box peel eggs? Curious, I ran to ask my mother. My mother touched my head and answered with a smile, "This is the principle of heat expansion and cold contraction." When a freshly cooked egg is immersed in cold water, the eggshell membrane and the egg white contract to different degrees when cold, and it is easy to form a certain gap, coupled with hard shaking, so that the eggshell easily falls off." Oh, I finally know the answer. By doing this experiment with my own hands, I understand that many interesting phenomena in our daily life contain a scientific truth. As long as we are good at observation, diligent in thinking, and brave in practice and exploration, we must be able to know the mystery.Bacon said: "If you tell happiness to a friend, you will get two happiness..." Therefore, happiness can be transmitted and shared. I remember during the winter holiday, my mother bought me a tiger kite, and it was windy that day, so I called my good friend, Lao Fan, and went to the square to fly the kite. When we got there, we assembled the kite, and soon the tiger kite was assembled. First of all, I held the line wheel in one hand, the kite in the other hand, and then ran up, the kite was thrown, although flying up, but soon it was like a deflated balloon slowly down. At this time, old Fan, who was standing beside him, was eager to try and said: "Ha ha, you are not going to make it, let me try, I can surely make it fly and not fall!" I took one look at his confident face and handed him the kite, which flew almost the same way I did, except that he stretched the string and then let it out. However, his technique is not so good, and soon he falls behind. His face turned red and he said, "There must be something wrong with this kite! At this time, the old man sitting beside us came over and said to us with a smile, "The kite is not broken, but your flying method is not right." Fly the kite upside down, but also have to fly along the wind, only in this way, can fly well "We listened to the old man's words, realized the skills of flying a kite, sure enough, after a while the kite jumped into the air, the tiger kite in the air, it seems to have become a real tiger, we each smile. We must learn to share happiness, because sharing happiness is a risk, and only by learning to share can we become selfless people.

Time passes like water
Time passes like water, many things will precipitate down with time. But I love you as always, love in your form, everything, Tibetan pen.... At that time, when we met in the third grade, we said goodbye to writing diaries. My mother bought me a lot of famous works, small I will then book a swim in the sea. Through the pen and ink of famous artists, I feel the inner world of different people. "Climbing the mountain is full of feelings in the mountain, watching the sea is overflowing in the sea." I love Zhu Ziqing's prose, seemingly plain words, but with irresistible magic, slowly infected me, the beauty penetrated into my every cell. Love Zhang Ailing's prose, ordinary, plain. Between the lines filled with a touch of tenderness and shallow sadness. So, I will dream, dream which day can also write the composition so well. Once, we know each other remember when the fourth grade, the Chinese teacher read my composition in the class, but the class has a few unconvinced students provocatively said: "Where copied? "I didn't copy it!" "The devil will believe it!" Listen to them insult me over and over again for trying. Results, I want to debate speechless, but also want to cry without tears. But I was not so discouraged, but through my efforts to prove my "innocence". I pay more attention to the accumulation of language, holding a book repeatedly bite. Every time I face you, I pay more attention and try to show you perfectly. In the process of growing up, I gradually see a lot of people and things, and no longer easily trust many people. When I am sad, I will think of you and tell you everything. In a blink of an eye, the sad "brush" "brush" into a few words, it is not so painful. When I am happy, I will think of you and share my happiness with you. So, in the years of toast, you became the most know my heart. In the future, we depend on the most romantic thing in the world - that is, growing old with you. I really want to grow old with you. In your unique way, express my voice; Record every bit of life in your own way; Weave the music of life in your own way. Composition! Composition! I hope that we can always depend on each other and write a chapter of our life together.This spring, my father planted rows of sunflowers on the roof of my home, and now it is the flowering season. Every morning, I will run upstairs to look forward to the flowers and petals coming out against the sun. Today is another sunny day, the sun is hanging in the sky early, as usual, I rushed upstairs excitedly, a round of sunflowers like a small sun, is quietly waiting for my review. Yes, they all blossomed, and I cheered and capered. Taking a closer look, I also found a few bees, selfless workers of the insect world, parked in the middle of the stamens, and butterflies dancing around the flowers. Look, the green-yellow butterfly seems to smell the flowers, fly over lightly, fly around the flowers, and fly sunflower flower petals, stopped on the top, like in and petal beauty. After a while, it spit out a thin and long straw that can also bend from the middle on the petals like engineers sweeping mines, there is no sweetness, it had to take two steps forward, came to the middle of the flower, and spit out a long straw directly into a cracked flower. The straw acts like a conveyor belt, allowing the voracious butterfly to eat one mouthful at a time, and after a short time, it rests on its petals, apparently full. Looking over the other side, the hum of a small bee turned my. Attention was drawn. It seems that the little bee is also attracted by the newly opened flower. But the little bee and the butterfly is not quite the same, it flies directly to the stamen, the six legs are busy, the front two legs in the stamen to collect honey, the middle two legs fixed their own position, the back two legs have a bag with nectar, when the two front legs to collect honey skillfully into the hind leg bag, so that the bag is full and then take home to make sweet honey. It is truly a representative of selfless hard work! These lovely little creatures are worth our attention to observe, their excellent quality is also worth our good study!
