在重庆，我去了红石中心，看到囚犯在过去住的地方。

这是一个糟糕的，可怕的旅行。

大部分监狱都很好，他们不想告诉其他人那里坏人。

他们住在很小的房子。

没有好的食物吃，没有水喝。

他们只有二十分钟，每天在外面的时间，但他们仍然什么也没说。

我想他们是那个世纪的英雄。

我将追随他们的精神。

下面是店铺给大家整理的一些英语范文，供大家参阅!初中英语故事范文篇1Little Tommy was doing very badly in math. His parents had tried everything—tutors (家庭教师), cards, special learning centers—in short, everything they could think of. Finally they took Tommy to a catholic (天主教的) school.After the first day, little Tommy came home with a very serious look on his face. He didn‟t kiss his mother hello. Instead, he went straight to his room and started studying. Books and papers were spread (铺开) out all over the room and little Tommy was hard at work. His mother was surprised. She called him down to dinner and as soon as he finished eating, he went back to his room, without a word. In no time he was back hitting the books as hard as before. This went on for some time, day after day while the mother tried to understand what was happening.Finally, little Tommy brought home his report card. He quietly put it on the table and went up to his room and hit the books. His mom looked at it and to her surprise, little Tommy got an A in math. She could no longer hold her curiosity (好奇心). She went to his room and asked, “Son, what was it? Was it the nuns (修女)?”Little Tommy looked at her and shook his head, “No. ”“Well then,” she asked again. “WHAT was it?”Little Tommy looked at her and said, “Well, on the first day of school, when I saw that man nailed (钉) to the plus sign (加号), I knew they weren‟t joking. ”worth more than anything could buyI worked for a short time as a cashier(出纳员) at a restauranta few months ago. I also helped to clean up the tables when it was very busy. One night, just before Christmas, I found a large black wallet on the floor near one of the tables. I guessed I should check it to find out who was the owner, but I was very busy at the time. And I imagined that if there was something valuable(有价值的) in the wallet, the owner would be back. Sure enough, an hour later a man came up to the counter and asked if anyone had found a wallet. I asked him to describe the lost wallet, and after he described it exactly, I gave him the wallet. He expressed his thanks when I handed it to him. He asked me if I had opened it, and when I told him “no”. At once he opened it and showed that it had nearly $ 800 in cash(现金). He took out a twenty-dollar bill and handed it to me and I was amazed at this. “A reward(酬劳) for your honesty,” he said and then turned and walked away.Thinking about it later, I began wondering whether I would have been honest if I had known what was in the wallet! I thought that if I had no way to find the owner and no one returned to get it, I might keep it. But it also came into my mind that I actually saved someone‟s Christmas plans by finding and returning the wallet. The good feeling it gave me was worth more than anything could buy.初中英语故事范文篇2A friend of mine named Paul received an expensive car from his brother as a Christmas present. On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office, a street urchin(顽童) was walking around the shining c ar. “Is this your car, sir?” he asked.Paul answered, “Yes, my brother gave it to me for Christmas.” The boy was surprised. “You mean your brother gave it to you and it did cost you nothing? Sir, I wish…” He hesitated(犹豫). Paulthought of course he knew what the boy wanted, but what the boy said surprised him greatly. “I wish,” the boy went on, “that I could be a brother like that.” Paul looked at the boy in surprise, and then he said again, “Would you like to take a ride in my car?” “Oh yes, I‟d love to,” the boy answered.After a short ride, the boy turned and with his eyes shining, said, “Sir, would you mind driving in front of my house?”Paul smiled a little. He thought he knew what the boy wanted. He wanted to show his neighbors that he could ride home in a big car. But Paul was wrong again. “Will you stop where those two steps are?” the boy asked.He ran up to the steps. Then in a short while Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled(残疾的) brother. He sat down on the step and pointed to the car.“There he is, Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn‟t cost him a cent. And some day I‟m going to give you one just like it…then you can see for yourself all the nice things in the Christmas windows that I‟ve been trying to tell you about.”Paul got out and lifted the boy to the front seat of his car. The shining-eyed elder brother climbed in beside him and the three began an unforgettable holiday ride.初中英语故事范文篇3Last Friday a storm swept through two villages in the New Territories, destroying (摧毁) fourteen homes. Seven others were so badly damaged (破坏) that their owners had to leave them, and fifteen others had broken windows or broken roofs. One person was killed, several were badly hurt and taken to hospital, and a number of other people received smaller hurt. Altogetherover two hundred people were homeless after the storm.A farmer, Mr. Tan, said that the storm began early in the morning and lasted for over an hour.“I was eating with my wife and children,” he said, “When we heard a loud noise. A few minutes later our house fell down on top of us. We tried our best to climb out but then I saw that one of my children was missing. I went back inside and found him, safe but very frightened.”Mrs. Woo Mei Fong said that her husband had just left for work when she felt that her house was moving. She ran outside at once with her children.“There was no time to take anything,” she said, “A few minutes later, the roof ca me down.”Soldiers helped to take people out of the flooded (水淹的) area and the welfare department (福利机构) brought them food, clothes and shelter.初中英语故事范文篇4We know the mosquito very well. Mosquitoes fly everywhere. They can be found almost all over the world, and there are more than 2,500 kinds of them.No one likes the mosquito. But the mosquito may decide that she loves you. She? Yes, she. It‟s true that male mosquito doesn‟t bite(咬) and only the female mosquito bites because she needs blood to lay eggs. She is always looking for things or people she wants to bite. If she likes what she finds, she bites. But if she doesn‟t like your blood, she will turn to someone else for more delicious blood. Next time a mosquito bites you, just remember you are chosen. You‟re different from the others!If the mosquito likes you, she lands on your body without letting you know. She bites you so quickly and quietly that youmay not feel anything different. After she bites, you will have an itch(痒) on your body because she puts something from her mouth together with your blood. By the time the itching begins, and she has flown away.And then what happens? Well, after her delicious dinner, the mosquito feels tired. She just wants to find a place to have a good rest. There, on a leaf or a wall, she begins to lay eggs, hundreds of eggs.。

However, it is equally true that lack of money causes great distress.It is a common view that "money is the root of all evil."The pursuit of money drives many people to cheat and steal. In some places there is nothing that cannot be bought with money, resulting in corrupt societies where everybody is miserable.So, money does not necessarily mean happiness. It all depends on how it is used. If we make honest and sensible use of money, it can be a stepping-stone to happiness l Although money cannot buy happiness, it can make happiness possible if it is employed sensibly.。

：Punishing the horse 罚马
Since his horse refused to go forward, a traveler in the state of Song drove it into a stream, then mounted to set off again. Still the horse refused to go, and he punished it once more in the same way.
This happened three times in all. Even the most skilful rider could devise no better means of frightening a horse; but if you are not a rider, simply a bully, your horse will refuse to carry you.
宋国有一游历者的坐骑不肯前进，他就将它赶进河里，再翻身上马继续上路，可马仍然不肯听命，他又用同样的方法对马实施惩罚。

马一共被罚了三次，可还是不肯就范。

这说明：即使最好的骑手也会用恐吓的办法使马前行，但倘若你不是骑手，而是暴徒，你的马就会拒绝为你效劳。

：The lark burying its mother 百灵鸟葬母
The lark, according to an ancient legend, was created before the earth, she could find for her no place of burial. She left her mother lying for five days. On the sixth day, she had no way out and bury her mother in her own head. So she got her crest, which is popularly said to be her mothers grave-hillock.
Youths first duty is to show their respect to parents.
据古代传说，百灵鸟诞生于地球未成形以前;母亲死于一场重病，那时因为没有泥土，她找不到地方葬母。

就停丧五天，到了第六天，她仍一筹莫展，就将母亲葬在自己的头上，因此，她就得到了冠毛，大家都说这是她母亲的坟山。

青年人的第一责任，就是孝敬父母。

：The mouse 老鼠
A philosophical mouse spoke loudly in praise of natures goodness for having made the mice such particular objects of her concern and protection.
"For," she said, "one half of us is provided by her with wings, so that if all here below were killed by cats, she could easily restore our extinguished race by means of the bats."
The good little mouse didnt know that there were also flying cats and thus does our pride chiefly rest on ignorance.
一只超然豁达的老鼠高声颂扬大自然的仁厚，赞美它对鼠辈们所给予的
特别的关爱。

老鼠说："自然之神赋予我们这个种族中一半的成员以翅膀。

就算猫将地上所有的老鼠杀戮，自然之手借助飞天蝙蝠不费吹灰之力就能恢复我们这个灭绝的种族。

"
这只善良的小老鼠不知道天上还有飞猫，不难看出骄傲源于无知。

：The ass and a lap-dog 驴和哈巴狗
A man had an ass and lovely lap-dog.
The ass was left in a stable, and had plenty of oats and day to eat, just as any other ass would. The lap-dog knew many tricks, and was a great favourite with his master.
The master seldom went out to dine or to super without bringing him something nice to eat when he jumped about him in a pleasant manner. The ass, on the contrary, had much work to do, in grinding the corn-mill and in carrying wood from the forest or burdens from the farm,. He often co plained about his own hard fate, and contrasted it with the luxury and idleness of the lap-dog. At last one day he broke the chain and ran into his masters house, kicking up his heels without measuring and jumping as well as he could, he next tried to jump about his master as he had seen the lap-dog do, but he broke the table, and smashed all the dishes on it to pieces. He then tried to lick his master, and jumped upon his back. The servants hearing the strange noise, and imagining the danger of his
master, quickly helped him out of the situation and drove out the ass to his stable, with kicks and beatings. The ass, as he returned to his stall beaten nearly to death, thus cried and said sadly, "I have brought it all on myself! Why could I not have beencontented to labour with my companions, and not wish to be idle all the day like that useless little alp-dog".
一个人有一头驴和一只可爱的哈巴狗。

驴关在栏里，享受着和其他驴同等的待遇—燕麦和干草。

哈巴狗却会很多的鬼把戏，深得主人的宠爱。

主人出去吃晚饭或午饭，每次都要给小狗带回好吃的东西，这时他就会在主人身旁欢快地跳跃，以博取主人的欢心。

驴却大相庭径，他有很多的事情要做;到磨坊去推磨，到树林去背回木材，或到农庄去驮运货物。

他常常自怨自艾命运太苦，并把自己的境遇同哈巴狗的安逸和懒惰作了一番比较。

终于有一天他挣断了缰绳，跑到主人屋乱跳乱踢一通，然后又在主人的身旁模仿这哈巴狗跳跃的摸样试跳起来，可他踢坏了桌子，将桌子上的碗碟摔得粉碎。

接着他又去舔它的主人，爬到主人的背上去。

仆人们听到了奇怪的声响，以为他们的主人有危险，急忙帮他脱身，他们用棍棒将驴赶回到栏里去。

驴差不多被打了个半死。

回到栏里，驴哭诉着说："这都是我自作自受!我为什么不能和同伴们一起去干活，不去奢望成为整日懒惰无用的小哈巴狗呢?"。
