Jane Eyre — A Beautiful Soul（简爱）
Jane Eyre, is a poor but aspiring, small in body but huge in soul, obscure but self-respecting girl. After we close the covers of the book, after having a long journey of the spirit, Jane Eyre, a marvelous figure, has left us so much to recall and to think:

We remember her goodness: for someone who lost arms and blinded in eyes, for someone who despised her for her ordinariness, and even for someone who had hurt her deeply in the past.

We remember her pursuit of justice. It’s like a companion with the goodness. But still, a virtuous person should promote the goodness on one side and must check the badness on the other side.

We remember her self-respect and the clear situation on equality. In her opinion, everyone is the same at the God’s feet. Though there are differences in status、in property and also in appearance, but all the human being are equal in personality.

We also remember her striving for life, her toughness and her confidence…

When we think of this girl, what she gave us was not a pretty face or a transcendent temperament that make us admire deeply, but a huge charm of her personality.

Her story makes us thinking about life and we learn much from her experience, at least, that is a fresh new recognition of the real beauty.

这个暑假,我读了高尔基的自传体小说这个暑假,我读了高尔基的自传体小说《童年》,它给我的感触颇深.
马克西姆·高尔基出生在一个贫穷的木工家庭中.在残暴的沙皇统治时期,高尔基吃尽了苦头:幼年丧父,却又受尽外祖父的虐待.他周围的人都是那么的自私,贪婪,充满了仇恨……
高尔基的童年是那么的悲惨,和他比起来,我可是幸福多了.
我出生在一个依山傍水的美好的地方,父母无微不至的呵护,亲人亲切无比的疼爱,伙伴们天真无邪的友爱,使欢乐的音符时时洒落在我的身边.在竹林里嬉戏,去山上采蘑菇,入溪水抓螃蟹,追蝴蝶,闻花香,追蚱蜢,我的童年就是这样无忧无虑开始的.
拎着个大篮子跌跌撞撞地跟在表姐身后捡麦子,大篮子却总是撞到我的脚后跟.两条小辫儿上下欢快地跳动着,白蝴蝶在身边快乐地翩翩飞舞.湛蓝湛蓝的天空,万里无云,微风挑逗着衣襟,篮中的麦穗已有大半.童年的美好时光也就是在欢欣愉悦的劳动中度过的.
走进了书香四溢的校园,也成了一个莘莘学子.充实的一天就在这琅琅的读书声中开始了.老师热心地传授我们知识,同学们互相探讨,我们像一棵棵小树苗,在接受春风雨露的滋润--吸取更多更好的知识,茁壮成长.在这知识的海洋中,我结束了快乐的童年,开始走向成熟.
我生活在一个充满人道主义的社会主义国家中,这里没有抽人的鞭子,没有殴打的拳脚,没有仇恨,没有贪婪,没有乖戾,更没有层出不穷的暴行和丑事.这里的人是善良,纯洁,乐观的,因而我的童年是充满了幸福和快乐的.

　　Learn to love and care（雾都孤儿）
Here I am sitting on a couch alone, thinking about what I have just finished reading with tears of sadness filling my eyes and fire of indignation filling my heart, which revived my exhausted soul that has already been covered by the cruelty and the selfishness of the secular world for a long time. It is truly what I felt after reading Oliver Twist, written by the prominent British author Charles Dickens.

The resonance between me and the book makes me feel not only the kindness and the wickedness of all the characters in the novel, but what this aloof society lacks, and what I lack deep inside. These supreme resources I’m talking about right now are somewhat different from minerals, oil that we usually mention. They’re abstract like feelings, and some kinds of spiritual stimulation that all of us desire anxiously from one another —— love and care.

Those charitable figures whom Dickens created in the novel are really what we need in life. They showed love and care to others, just as the gentle rain from the sky fell upon the earth, which was carved into my heart deeply.
Mr. Brownlow is one such person.

The other day he had one of his elaborate watches stolen by two skilled teenage thieves, Artful Dodger and Charley Bates, and thought naturally it was Oliver, who was an orphan and forced to live with a gang of thieves, that had done it because he was the only one near by after the theft had taken place. Being wrathful, he caught Oliver, and sent him to the police station where the ill-tempered, unfair magistrates worked. Fortunately for him, Oliver was proved innocent by one onlooker afterwards. With sympathy, Mr. Brownlow took the injured, poor Oliver to his own home. There Oliver lived freely and gleefully for some months as if he were Mr. Brownlow’s own son. One day, however, Mr. Brownlow asked Oliver to return some books to the bookseller and to send some money for the new books that he had already collected. The thief Oliver once stayed with kidnapped him. After that he disappeared in Mr. Brownlow’s life. Searching for a while, Mr. Brownlow had to believe the fact that he had run away with his money. But dramatically, they came across each other again a few years later. Without hesitation, Mr. Brownlow took Oliver home for the second time not caring if he had done something evil.

Perhaps most of us would feel confused about Mr. Brownlow’s reaction. But as a matter of fact, this is just the lesson we should learn from him. Jesus said in the Bible. “Forgive not seven times, but seventy-times seven.” Why is that? Because forgiveness is our ability to remove negative thoughts and neutralize them so our energy may be spent on doing what we came here for. We cannot move forward in our future if past issues cloud our thinking. Stop put Mr. Brownlow into the list of your models. Always give people a second chance no matter what they might have done. That’s also a substantial part of loving and caring others.

Charles Dickens said:“Love makes the world go around.” These immortal words have inspired and will keep on inspiring us to chant the melody of love and to say the prayer of care forevermore. Let us, therefore, enjoy life and treat other people lovingly. These principles are the roots and foundations of beliefs supporting this article and our mission together.
