SAT 3500 基本词汇
SAT 3500 Basic Word List当我被上帝造出来时，上帝问我想在人间当一个怎样的人，我不假思索的说，我要做一个伟大的世人皆知的人。
于是，我降临在了人间。
我出生在一个官僚知识分子之家，父亲在朝中做官，精读诗书，母亲知书答礼，温柔体贴，父母给我去了一个好听的名字：李清照。
小时侯，受父母影响的我饱读诗书，聪明伶俐，在朝中享有“神童”的称号。
小时候的我天真活泼，才思敏捷，小河畔，花丛边撒满了我的诗我的笑，无可置疑，小时侯的我快乐无虑。
“兴尽晚回舟，误入藕花深处。
争渡，争渡，惊起一滩鸥鹭。
”青春的我如同一只小鸟，自由自在，没有约束，少女纯净的心灵常在朝阳小，流水也被自然洗礼，纤细的手指拈一束花，轻抛入水，随波荡漾，发髻上沾着晶莹的露水，双脚任水流轻抚。
身影轻飘而过，留下一阵清风。
可是晚年的我却生活在一片黑暗之中，家庭的衰败，社会的改变，消磨着我那柔弱的心。
我几乎对生活绝望，每天在痛苦中消磨时光，一切都好象是灰暗的。
“寻寻觅觅冷冷清清凄凄惨惨戚戚”这千古叠词句就是我当时心情的写照。
最后，香消玉殒，我在痛苦和哀怨中凄凉的死去。
在天堂里，我又见到了上帝。
上帝问我过的怎么样，我摇摇头又点点头，我的一生有欢乐也有坎坷，有笑声也有泪水，有鼎盛也有衰落。
我始终无法客观的评价我的一生。
我原以为做一个着名的人，一生应该是被欢乐荣誉所包围，可我发现我错了。
于是在下一轮回中，我选择做一个平凡的人。
我来到人间，我是一个平凡的人，我既不着名也不出众，但我拥有一切的幸福：我有温馨的家，我有可亲可爱的同学和老师，我每天平凡而快乐的活着，这就够了。
天儿蓝蓝风儿轻轻，暖和的春风带着春的气息吹进明亮的教室，我坐在教室的窗前，望着我拥有的一切，我甜甜的笑了。
我拿起手中的笔，不禁想起曾经作诗的李清照，我虽然没有横溢的才华，但我还是拿起手中的笔，用最朴实的语言，写下了一时的感受：人生并不总是完美的，每个人都会有不如意的地方。
这就需要我们静下心来阅读自己的人生，体会其中无尽的快乐和与众不同。
