高考作文例证

1、金钱价值在于使用方法

汽车大王福特不是一个吝啬的人,但他却很少捐款。他顽固地认为,金钱的价值并不在于多寡,而在于使用方法。他最担心的就是捐款经常会落到不善于运用它们的人手里。有一次,乔治亚州的马沙?贝蒂校长为了扩建学校来请求福特捐款,福特拒绝了她。

她就说:那么就请捐给我一袋花生种子吧。于是福特买了一袋花生种子送给了她。福特后来就忘了这件事情。没想到一年以后,贝蒂女士又上门了,交给了他600美元。原来学生们播种了当初的那一袋子花生种子,这就是一年的收获。福特什么都没说,立即拿出了600万美元交给了贝蒂。

福特的担心绝不是多余的,太轻易得来的金钱往往很难让受施者感受到金钱后面潜隐着的苦与智;我更赞赏贝蒂对点滴施与的至高的尊重,她带领孩子们撒播下的其实是足以证明他们有能力领受他人恩惠的资格。

2、鱼儿不会说话

美国联邦议会批准了在小田纳西河上修建一座用于发电的水库,先后投入了一亿多美元。当大坝工程即将完工的时候,生物学家们发现大坝底有一种叫蜗牛鱼的珍稀鱼类,如果大坝最终建成的话,将影响这种鱼生活的环境而导致这种鱼的灭绝。于是环保组织向法院提出了诉讼,要求大坝停工并放弃修建水库的计划,但在第一次诉讼中,他们失败了:初审法院认为大坝已经接近完工,浪费纳税人一亿多美元的钱去保护一个鱼种是不明智的,拒绝判决大坝停工。环保组织又上诉到最高法院。

终于,这些小鱼儿在最高法院赢得了它们的权利,依据是联邦1973年颁布的《濒危物种法案》。这些小鱼儿可以在它们的家园自由地栖息,而它们身边是那被永久废弃的价值一亿多美元的大坝。

3、大错误与小错误

日本松下公司的创始人松下幸之助以经营技巧高超,管理方法先进,被誉为“经营之神。”

后滕清一原是三洋电机公司的副董事长,后来投奔松下公司,在担任厂长时,工厂失火烧掉了。后滕清一心中十分惶恐;以为不被革职也要降级。不料松下接到报告后,只对他说了四个字:

“好好干吧!”

松下这样做,并不是姑息部下的过错。以往,即使只是打电话的方式不当,后滕也会受到松下严厉的斥责。这种作风可以说是松下管人的秘决。由于这次火灾发生后没有受到惩罚,后滕自然会心怀愧疚,对松下也会更加忠心效命,并以加倍的工作来回报。

松下的这种做法,巧妙地抓住了人类的心理。在犯小错误时,本人多半并不在意,因此需要严加斥责,以引起他的注意;相反犯下大错误时,傻子也知道自省,因此就不必要再去给予严厉的批评了。

4、大火烧出的奇迹

1933年,正当经济危机在美国蔓延的时候,哈理逊纺织公司因一场大火化为灰烬。3000名员工悲观地回到家里,等待着董事长宣布公司破产和失业风暴的来临。在无望而又漫长的等待中,他们终于接到了董事会的一封信:向全公司员工继续支薪1个月。

在全国上下一片萧条的时候,能有这样的消息传来,员工们深感意外。他们惊喜万分,纷纷打电话或写信向董事长亚伦?傅斯表示感谢。

1个月后,正当他们为下个月的生活发愁时,他们又接到公司的第二封信,董事长宣布,再支付全体员工薪酬1个月。3000名员工接到信后,不再是意外和惊喜,而是热泪盈眶。在失业席卷全国、人人生计无着的时候,能得到如此照顾,谁不会感激万分呢?第二天,他们纷纷拥向公司,自发地清理废墟、擦洗机器,还有一些人主动去南方一些州联络被中断的货源。3个月后,哈理逊公司重新转了起来。对这一奇迹,当时的《基督教科学箴言报》是这样描述的:员工们使出浑身的解数,日夜不懈地卖力工作,恨不得一天干25小时,曾劝董事长傅斯领取保险公款一走了之和批评他感情用事、缺乏商业精神的人开始服输。

现在,哈理逊公司已成为美国最大的纺织品公司,分公司遍布五大洲50多个国家。

5、发泄

一天,陆军部长斯坦顿来到林肯那里,气呼呼地对他说一位少将用侮辱的话指责他偏袒一些人。林肯建议斯坦顿写一封内容尖刻的信回敬那家伙。

“可以狠狠地骂他一顿。”林肯说。

斯坦顿立刻写了一封措辞强烈的信,然后拿给总统看。

“对了,对了。”林肯高声叫好,“要的就是这个!好好训他一顿,真写绝了,斯坦顿。”

但是当斯坦顿把信叠好装进信封里时,林肯却叫住他,问道:“你要干什么?”

“寄出去呀。”斯坦顿有些摸不着头脑了。

“不要胡闹。”林肯大声说,“这封信不能发,快把它扔到炉子里去。凡是生气时写的信,我都是这么处理的。这封信写得好,写的时候你己经解了气,现在感觉好多了吧,那么就请你把它烧掉,再写第二封信吧。”

6、果断

有一个6岁的小男孩,一天在外面玩耍时,发现了一个鸟巢被风从树上吹掉在地,从里面滚出了一个嗷嗷待哺的小麻雀。小男孩决定把它带回家喂养。

当他托着鸟巢走到家门口的时候,他突然想起妈妈不允许他在家里养小动物。于是,他轻轻地把小麻雀放在门口,急忙走进屋去请求妈妈。在他的哀求下妈妈终于破例答应了。

小男孩兴奋地跑到门口,不料小麻雀已经不见了,他看见一只黑猫正在意犹未尽舔着嘴巴。小男孩为此伤心了很久。但从此他也记住了一个教训:只要是自己认定的事情,决不可优柔寡断。这个小男孩长大后成就了一番事业,他就是华裔电脑名人—王安博士。

7、将军和驴子

古罗马皇帝哈德良曾经碰到过这样一个问题。

皇帝手下的一位将军,觉得他应该得到提升,便在皇帝面前提到这件事,以他的长久服役为理由。“我应该升更重要的领导岗位”,他报告,“因为,我的经验丰富,参加过10次重要战役。”

哈德良皇帝是一个对人及才华有着高明判断力的人,他不认为这位将军有能力担任更高的职务,于是他随意指着绑在周围的战驴说:

“亲爱的将军,好好看这些驴子,它们至少参加过20次战役,可他们仍然是驴子。”

8、马蝇效应

1860年美国总统大选结束后,林肯当选为总统。他任命参议员萨蒙?蔡斯为财政部长。

有许多人反对这一任命。因为蔡斯虽然能干,但十分狂妄自大,他本想入主白宫,却输给了林肯,他认为自己比林肯要强得多,对林肯也非常不满,并且一如既往地追求总统职位。

林肯对关心他的朋友讲了这样一个故事:

“在农村长大的朋友们一定知道什么是马蝇了。有一次,我和我的兄弟在肯塔基老家的一个农场犁玉米地,我吆马,他扶犁。这匹马很懒,但有一段时间它却在地里跑得飞快,连我这双长腿都差点跟不上。到了地头,我发现有一只很大的马蝇叮在它身上,我随手就把马蝇打落了。我兄弟问我为什么要打落它,我说我不忍心看着这匹马那样被咬。我兄弟说:“唉呀,正是这家伙才使马跑得快嘛。”

然后,林肯说:“如果现在有一只叫‘总统欲’的马蝇正叮着蔡斯先生,那么只要它能使蔡斯和他的那个部不停地跑,我就不想去打落它。”(来源:中国学生网)

Overnight, people lost everything. And the unemployment went up to 25%. ◇ Herbert Clark Hoover, then President of United States, insisted on the principles of classical economics, then widely considered correct by economists. They believed that the market had the ability to correct itself, so no major government intervention was needed. However, this time, that policy did not work. ◇ After analyzing the situation, Roosevelt found that this economic policy could generate a series of problems. For example, some industries would be monopolized by big companies and so on. He realized that government intervention was necessary to save the economy. ◇ With the slogan, “the only thing we have to fear is fear itself.” Roosevelt was elected as the president of the United States. Those words brought confidence and strength for American people to overcome the unprecedented financial crises. ◇ Roosevelt enacted the New Deal, which was categorized by historians as “relief, recovery and reform”. ◇ One of the most successful projects of the New Deal was the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA). This giant public power project in the valley of the Tennessee River could not only regulate floods, but also provide cheaper electricity for residents along the Tennessee River. Bill Gates ◇ Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft, is one of the richest people in the world. ◇ Through his hard work, Bill Gates earned billions of dollars. ◇ However, instead of living a luxurious life, Bill Gates donates 98% of his property to build up the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. ◇ The Foundation is made up of three main program areas: Global Development, Global Health, and the United States Program. With the belief that every life has equal value, the Foundation aims to enhance health care, reduce extreme poverty and expand educational opportunities and access to information technology in America. ◇ The Foundation has offered money to build 67 schools for national minorities and poor children and has donated 1.68 billion dollars to help African countries fight diseases. Now, with the help of the Foundation, nearly 2000 children can receive an education, and more than 10000 African children could be free of famine, poverty and diseases. ◇ Paul Allen was his partner. ◇ Bill Gates and Paul Allen, who knew each other from high school, were both interested in computer. They first got in touch with a mainframe in high school and quickly became known for their ability as programmers. Later, although Bill Gates started his new life in Harvard University while Paul Allen worked for Honeywell, they set up Microsoft with the belief to bring computers into the homes of everyday Americans. After writing BASIC, a simple programming language, for Altair together, Gates and Allen became more confident in their products. Based on the success with Altair, they designed a new strategy to gain widespread acceptance for their products by "bundling" their software with computers, rather than selling to consumers directly. With their hard work, Bill Gates and Paul Allen finally made their company worldwide and got succeed. Nicolaus Copernicus ◇ In the field of astronomy, Copernicus pioneered the theory of heliocentrism. ◇ At that time, common sense dictated that the earth was at the center of the universe. Yet, with doubts about the conventional idea, Copernicus refused to accept what most people believed. He rejected the prevailing theory of geocentrism. ◇ Copernicus observed and calculated the position of the stars every night. ◇ Finally, he discovered that the sun, instead of the earth, was the center of the universe. Thomas Edison ◇ Thomas Edison, an American inventor, scientist and businessman, invented thousands of apparatuses which had a great influence on people’ s lives. ◇ One of his best inventions was the electric light bulb. The old electric bulb used carbon rod as filament but it produced glaring light and could not last for a long time. In order to improve it, Edison tried over 6000 kinds of materials to replace carbon rod, from various metal wires to hair. Having made more than 7000 experiments, Edison found that cotton threads could be used as filaments. However, cotton threads could only last for 45 hours. After 3 months, Edison successfully discovered carbonized bamboo filament as a suitable material. This perfect filament could last for 1200 hours and produced better light than those former bulbs. ◇ Every time he failed to choose a proper replacement for carbon rod, he did not lose heart but instead sought the reasons why he was wrong. Edison categorized different materials and in this way, he cut down some unnecessary work. ◇ Thomas Edison had brilliant ideas, but he had no time to deal with all the small details. Therefore, Edison hired a group of talented assistants, who were able to find proper materials to match Edison’s ideas. With the help of those talented assistants, Thomas Edison successfully found the appropriate material to use for filament and invented electric light bulbs that could last over 1200 hours. Also, every assistant had a different function. For example, Samuel Mott was a draftsman, who was in charge of sending official drawings to the United States Patent Office. Grosvenor Lowery, a lawyer, was responsible for raising money for Edison’s laboratory so that Edison would have the equipment to continue his experiments. James Cameron ◇ James Cameron did not abandon his dream after a long struggle and in the end, he succeeded. ◇ When he was 14 years old, James Cameron was obsessed with the film 2001: A Space Odyssey. From then on, he had the idea to make his own science fiction films. ◇ By 1995, James Cameron had written the screenplay of Avatar himself. However, technology then was not advanced enough to make Avatar. In order to develop the techniques of science fiction film, James Cameron disappeared for 10 years after making his famous film, Titanic. During those 10 years, James Cameron gathered information and worked on improving the equipment used to create 3D animation. Finally, he invented a set of instruments, which was easy to carry, to shoot 3D animation. But not everything went as smoothly as he thought; James Cameron confronted the indifference of investors, the complaints of workers and other frustrations in those 10 years. Nevertheless, he did not give up because of those difficulties. Finally, in 2009, the movie Avatar was released. The film made use of cutting-edge 3D animation, going to the top of the world’s box office ranks and achieving great success. ◇ The former stereoscopic cameras, weighed four hundred and fifty pounds, were as large as washing machines. This giant camera was so cumbersome that stuntmen had to move slowly enough for cameras to catch up with them. However, the camera invented by James Cameron was lighter and smaller and could shoot both 2-D and 3-D movies. Nelson Mandela ◇ Nelson Mandela, the president of South Africa, was a good leader. ◇ Under apartheid in South Africa, it was just like common sense that black people were inferior to white people and no one dared to revolt. In these kinds of circumstances, black people were always treated unfairly. ◇ Having the courage to challenge authority, Nelson Mandela led the black people to fight for their own rights. ◇ Because of his fight against the regime of apartheid, Nelson Mandela served 27 years in prison on Robben Island. ◇ During his imprisonment, Nelson Mandela began a school for prisoners who had little learning and taught them during the lunch breaks and the evenings. He even allowed the prison guards to join the school. ◇ He once led the prisoners to protest the terrible conditions of the prison. ◇ After he was released, Nelson Mandela became the president and successfully led the transition to multi-racial democracy in South Africa. He set himself as an example for others. ◇ After his presidency, Mandela did not enjoy the quiet life. Instead, he set up Nelson Mandela Foundation and Mandela Schools. He also visited people who were infected with AIDS and hugged them in order to bring them confidence to go on with their lives. The Last Leaf ◇ The Last Leaf, written by O. Henry, tells us that sometimes lies may save a person’s life. ◇ Joanna was a young girl. One day, she began to cough and felt very sick. Unfortunately, the doctor diagnosed Joanna with pneumonia and said she would not live for a long time. She felt very sad and spent her days laying on the bed and looking out of the window. A dying vine was just outside her window. Joanna thought that she was just like the dying vine and would die when the last leaf dropped from the vine. Knowing the news, the young girl’s neighbor, Mr. Behrman, who was an old painter, decided to help her. On a cold and wet night, when the last leaf on the vine fell, Mr. Behrman painted a leaf to bring back Joanna’s will to live. The next day, when Joanna saw the last leaf hanging on the vine after the cold, windy night, she gained fresh hope. The old painter created a miracle by painting a fake leaf. The Great Gatsby ◇ The Great Gatsby is written by American author F. Scott Fitzgerald. ◇ In the book, Gatsby made up lies in order to get his lover back. Gatsby, a poor man, fell in love before the war with Daisy, who was born in a rich family. He planned to marry her upon his return from the front lines. However, when Gatsby returned, he found that Daisy had married Tom Buchanan, a rich but boring man. Feeling very sad, Gatsby thought that Daisy married Tom only because Gatsby was too impoverished.
