《昆虫记》读后感
这段时间，我读完了法国作家法布尔写的《昆虫记》。通过读《昆虫记》我懂得了许多知识：小蜘蛛怎样从卵袋里出来；胭脂虫的幼虫怎样过冬；食粪虫为什么能“长寿”；蜜蜂们怎样造房；蝗虫怎样孵化……我已经读完一段时间了，可是还回味无穷。
法布尔主要从昆虫的产卵、孵化、生活习性、食物等方面来描写昆虫。法布尔描写的昆虫很形象、很具体。他经常用拟人的手法，有时还用比喻、反问等手法。如果不看《昆虫记》，不了解昆虫，对你的生活不会有影响，但你会因此而有了缺憾，少了许多乐趣和对丰富多彩的昆虫世界的了解。法布尔的《昆虫记》会让你一脚迈进昆虫世界的大门。
刚买来这本书的时候，我除了阅读课翻翻它，平常连看都不看。后来，不知怎么，这本书有种魅力在吸引我，使我渐渐喜欢这本书了。最后，我对这本书爱不释手。
在这本书中，我最喜欢的是描写蜜蜂的故事。法布尔写了隧蜂、切叶蜂、黄斑蜂、沙泥蜂、节腹泥蜂……它们的捕猎方法不同、习性不同，但它们都有共同的一点，都为自己的宝宝着想。最令我感动的一篇是《看门护家人》。这一篇写的是隧蜂宝宝已经长大了，去外面采蜜时，一扇“门”就会自动打开，回到家里，这扇“门”就会自动关上。这扇“门”究竟是什么东西呢？其实，这扇“门”就是隧蜂的母亲。它们的母亲已经不能到外面参加劳动，就自愿当起看家人，把陌生人拦在家外。母爱多么伟大啊！
在自然界中，许多昆虫互相残杀，但它们残杀都是为了自己的宝宝。写到这里，我想：“母亲为我们付出了那么多，我们能为母亲做点什么呢？”
汤姆历险记(英文版)
I believe that one of the factors that makes a piece of literature or even a movie a masterpiece is how well the reader can relate to the story. This is definitely a book everyone can relate to.
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is a literary masterpieces, written in 1876 by the famous author Mark Twain. Tom Sawyer is a mischievous young boy who lives in the small town on the Mississippi River called St. Petersburg. The story line is simple, the book reads like a biography or a memoir of a summer in Tom Sawyer's life.
Tom Sawyer seems to be the precursor of and the template for misfit kids such as Dennis the Menace, Malcolm in the Middle, and Calvin and Hobbs. What makes this story great is that Tom Sawyer represents everything that is great about childhood. The book is filled with Tom's adventures playing pirates and war with his friend Joe Harper. Tom has a trusted friend, Huck Finn, who few of the adults approve of. The book is filled with ideas of how the world works, such as how pirates and robbers work, that are so innocent, they could only come from a child. It is a story filled with action, adventure, ingenious ideas, love, and schoolyard politics. The whole story is seemingly a complication of what people did or wish they did during their childhood.
The book is a little difficult to read at first. Personally, it takes me a little while to get used to the 19th century dialect in the book. Other than referring to persons of African decent in derogatory terms (which I'm sure uses terms even young children already know), the book would be an enjoyable read for people of all ages. I highly recommend this book for anyone looking to feel young again, if just for a few hundred pages.
