一天，洋教師出題，考察學生們用洋文作文的水準，題目極簡單，隨便議論議論校園內的一事一物，褒貶皆可。中國學生很靈，一揮而就，洋教師閱后。評出了最佳作文一篇，學生們聽后大為不解，這種通篇說謊的文章怎么能被評為“最佳”?

　　原來這篇作文是寫學校食堂。寫作文的學生來自郊區農村，人很老實，膽子又小, 生伯得罪校方，妨礙將來畢業時的分數、評語、分配工作等等，便不顧真假，胡編亂造，竭力美化，唱贊歌。使得一些學生看后慣慣然。可是…洋教師明知學校食堂糟糕透頂的狀況，為什么偏要選這篇作文?有人直問洋教師。

　　One day he set the students an essay to see howwell they could write in English, the topic being AComment on Life on the Campus-it hercomplimentary or critical. That was simple. And hisstudents, quick at writing, finished it at one go andturned it in no time. He went through the papers andpicked one that he thought the best. When he read it out to the students, they were greatlyperplexed. Of all the comments, why did he like this one best, Not a single word of it was true.

　　It was about the campus cafeteria and the author was a peaceable and timid guy from a villagenear the town. In order not to offend the school authorities -- a decisive factor: concerninghis final grading, evaluation and, above; all, where he was to go after graduation -- he hadmade up a high-sounding story in praise of the cafeteria regardless of reality, thus making hisClaSS- mates very angry. The teacher was as well aware of the cafeteria's terrible conditions,but why should this piece in particular have appealed to him so much, Someone asked.

　　歲月悠悠，滄桑巨變。歷史是最生動的教材。法西斯發動的侵略戰爭給人類帶來了浩劫，也教育了世界人民。世界人民贏得了戰爭的勝利，贏得了和平與進步。半個世紀過去了，痛苦的回憶，勝利的喜悅，深深的思考，使人們更加清醒。 歷史證明，和平來之不易。世界大戰的悲劇絕不能重演。必須經常保持高度警惕，不斷發展和壯大和平力量，遏制和消除導致戰爭的一切因素。歷史表明，人民終究是自己命運的主人，是社會前進的推動者。凡是正義的和進步的事業必然要勝利，這是任何力量也扼殺不了和阻擋不住的。
