不久前，邻居家买了一条小狗，取名丝丝。因为它长得特逗人喜爱，所以周围人都非常喜欢它，常扔好吃的给它。
前些天，我去上学的时候，丝丝总是跟着我走。它一会儿嗅嗅路边的垃圾桶，一会儿去逗逗那些系在门口失去自由的狗朋友们，一会儿又抓抓耳朵，用腿在身上蹭蹭……看着它可爱的样子，我忍不住好笑。丝丝真像一个顽皮的小孩子。
可是今天，一件意想不到的事情发生了，它让我悲痛万分。
今天天气晴朗，早上的空气又是那么清新，走在上学的路上，我感到十分愉快。丝丝仍然同往常一样，不紧不慢地跟在我身后，时而停留，时而奔跑。就在这时，突然一阵尖锐的刹车声穿刺我的耳膜，我的心一下子悬到了半空中，全身被一股寒意笼罩。果然，嗷嗷的狗家声从不远处哀哀地传来。丝丝！可怜的丝丝！当我回头看时，卡车似一阵风一溜烟儿从我身边飘过了，只有地上还留下一片殷红的血迹，在冒着热气。恍惚中，我看见一团红白相间的影子在飞快的向远处滚动，声声凄厉的哀叫将早晨的街道拉得老宽、老长……
再见丝丝是在一周之后。这一周恰巧是国庆节，我到远在广州打工的妈妈那儿去了。我原本以为是再也见不到丝丝了，然而丝丝就清清楚楚、明明白白地在我的眼前。不过它再没有以前那么活泼了，眼睛也是灰蒙蒙的，仿佛罩了一层淡淡的哀愁。丝丝的整双后腿没有了，就像人残缺了下肢一样，尾巴也不翼而飞，它只能靠前腿支撑着身体，在地上匍匐前进。见到我的时候，丝丝还是显出兴奋的样子，口中呜呜直叫，并用一条前腿拨拉我的裤管。见到丝丝这副模样，我的眼泪一下子涌了出来。丝丝原本应该恨我的，我没有尽到保护它的责任……
晚上，辗转反侧，难以入眠，丝丝的身影在我脑海中一遍又一遍的闪过。突然，我觉得丝丝并不可怜，它是可敬的！丝丝勇敢地挣脱死亡之神的魔掌，坚强地站了起来，站得那么稳，那么有力，能不让人为之肃然起敬吗？善待生命，不轻言放弃生命，丝丝为我们树立了一个多好的榜样！
英国皇家学会学院霍金，一个非常阳光，很有前途的小伙子。他在17岁时考上著名的牛津大学，可在21岁时却患上了运动神经细胞萎缩症，医生为他下达了死亡通知书，说他最多还只能活两年。这对年纪轻轻的霍金来说是一个多么沉重的打击啊！可霍金在残酷的疾病面前没有低头，没有妥协！他凭借着乐观自信的态度，顽强的毅力，非常坚决地活了下来。他与病魔且战且进，在物理学方面取得了巨大的成就，并著作了闻名于世的《时间简史》一书。
假如当初，霍金对自己说声：“算了吧，反正只有两年时间了，何不好好享受一下呢？”那么，他就一定会痛苦的活着，平庸的消失，就不会有奇迹的出现。
每个人对待自己的生命，都会有不同的态度。但我想说的是，不论遇到怎样的不堪，只要我们拿出勇气，坚持，再坚持，前面就会阳光一片！

In this summer holidays, I read a book called < Great Expectations>, it was written by Charles Dickens, one of the most famous English writers. He wrote lots of wonderful novels. This book is one of his compositions.
People always like to compare with their friends. It is a big foible of all the people. If other people have a lot of money, we also want to be rich. If all the people around us are poor , we never mind that we are very poor, too. we will not ashamed because of our folly. This is a social problem.
If we never possess anything, we will not mind we lost some thing. Since we don’t want to be very rich ,we will not feel despond because poor.
The protagonist of this novel is Pip (Handel). His parents died when he was a baby. His sister had brought him up ‘by hand’. His sister married to Joe Gargery, the village blacksmith. They didn’t have much money, and Pip never went to school to study. But he was often very happy .Because all of his friends are like him. It isn’t very unfortunate to them, this is their lives. But by a chance, Pip helped a convict; he gave much food to him. Then he met Miss Havisham, a very strange old woman and she was very rich.
Four years later, Miss Havisham wants Pip to be removed from his home and educated as a gentleman who expects inherit a fortune when he grow up.
After hearing that . Pip started to despise his poor friends. He even feel ashamed because he live with the poor man . Pip’s ‘great expectations’ destroyed his life.
This novel told us that we cannot compare with others .Don’t feel envy at the others money. And if one day you be very rich , please don’t despise your poor friends.
