第二篇：“沟通”话题及
“沟通”话题及范文
王生想借邻居家的斧头来用，在去邻居家的路上，他想，“邻居会把他的斧头借给我吗？那个斧头可是他新买的，他舍得吗？他本来就不是个大方人，上次我向他借犁，他就说犁坏了。这一次他肯定不会借给我，一把斧头都不愿意借，这个邻居也当得太无情无义了，以后我要是出点别的事，让他帮忙，他更不会帮了，这算什么邻居！”
王生边走边想，越想越气，他怒气冲冲地敲开邻居的门，对邻居说：“留着你的斧头自己用吧！然后扭头就走了。邻居莫名其妙地站在那里。
王生的问题出在和他人非常严重地缺少沟通。沟通在我们的学习、生活、工作中，在整个社会都很重要，以“沟通”为话题，写一篇80O字以上的文章。立意自定，文体自选，题目自拟。
沟 通
这个世界的人孤独得不得了，许多人蓄意保持距离，却希望别人先行靠近；许多人预计是否能够收获，再酌量付出；许多人渴望被人理解，却又将沟通束之高阁；许多人想要被爱却又不肯主动去爱，仿佛爱已经成了不合时代的事„„
你呢？是不是已经很久没有同朋友联系了？反正我是，而且还总是习惯去罗列一些似是而非的借口为自己的疏忽开脱。逝者如斯夫，不舍昼夜，其结果自然是“风萧萧兮易水寒，‘朋友’一去兮不复还”了。我曾寄希望于自己的人际关系永远保持“牛势”，如今看来，可能只能算是觊觎了。
我曾做过无数的梦，我梦见过层峦叠嶂中袅袅腾腾的烽火狼烟，我梦见过古城栈道外馨香醉眼的驿路梨花，我梦见过一个身影，借着昏暗的烛光，小心翼翼地展开一封飘洋而来的瓶中信。当然，我也梦到过现实生活中的自己，在虚与委蛇的应酬下，在纸醉金迷的漩涡里，在口水与广告纸的杂糅中，在灯红酒绿的觥筹交错间„„
也许是我落伍，跟不上时代，才感觉生活中．com 的人越来越多，他们自由进出各种国际互联网的速度远要比中国加人世贸组织（WTO）的速度“奔腾”多了，据说其中不少人还成了线上的“猎情高手”。然而问网上情为何物？真叫我浑身麻木。因为想要在那里赚取一句真实性超过 70 ％的话可能比减肥更让人痛苦。于是面对尔虞我诈的网络天空，我也只好抱持一种“只可远观，不可亵玩”的态度了。
长期以来，我一直迷恋作水粉画，究其原因，竟是因为涮笔，因为每每看到几种单调的颜色在杯中与水调和幻化成另一种颜色，我都感到欣喜。同时这又让我想到了我们人本身，其实也只是代表一种颜色罢了，然而通过沟通与交融又可以创造出许多奇妙的组合，丰富我们生活中的色彩。
我读过一篇名为《沙漠里的爱情》的小说，讲的是一个置身沙漠孤立无援的法国士兵，几乎奄奄一息，昏倒在岩洞里，待他醒来时却发现一只野兽躺在他的身边，原来是一头嘴上还沾着血迹的豹子。所幸花豹吃饱了，对他并无恶意。士兵原想用匕首杀死它，随后又改变了主意，用温柔多情的动作抚摸雌豹，他不仅同它友好相处，而且建立了感情，一同游戏玩耍。然而，士兵还是害怕，趁豹子睡熟之际逃跑了，但走不多远，豹子赶了上来，这时他已陷入流沙中，豹子咬住他的衣领，把他救了出来。文中最后，士兵杀死豹子也纯粹出于偶然，豹子轻轻咬他的大腿，他以为是要吃他，使用匕首刺进了野兽的脖子，花豹挣扎时居然毫无恼怒地望着他。文中主人公在讲到这段经历时讲到“我看哪里都比不上沙漠”，“那里没有人，只有上帝”。的确是这样，他在人类社会感受不到的东西，在沙漠里感受到了。
多年来，我一直被这个故事感动着，它向人们转述了沟通的无限可能性，即使在人与兽之间，并且让我们对于我们人类自身的交流更有信心。同时，它又影射了人类社会中一个公式化的现象——因为沟通走到一起，再因猜忌彼此分离，又习惯将事件本身固于一种僵持的回忆状态。
社会是一张网，个人只是网上的点，其实不管你做什么，你都在以某种方式与别人发生关系。松下幸之助曾经说过：一个人的成功也是他人际关系的成功，与人协作也就是认识别人的价值，借用别人的价值，哪怕是在最纯粹的理论研究领域，这一点也是很重要的。
因此，我觉得人生更像拼图，从生下来就在找寻所需要的那些部分，拼成家庭、邻里、同事、朋友„„每一片单独的拼图或许都是残缺的，而它的每一次结合又都是令人欢愉的。并且，在这一次又一次的拼合过程中，人们变得深刻，变得理智，变得成熟；同时，在这里，人们心灵中的四季也永远是绿色！
【评 语】
社会越发展，人们似乎越来越难以沟通，“孤独得不得了”。人们渴望沟通，却又试图与人保持距离；因沟通走到一起，又因猜忌彼此分离。这篇文章深刻地揭示了人的无奈和现代社会面临的困境。作者告诉我们，沟通的必要性，沟通能丰富我们生活的色彩。文章思想深刻，笔法熟练，从中可以看出作者的功力。
遗忘的角落
早上一走进教室，便觉察到了一股不太对劲的气氛。平时安静的屋里充斥着细小的议论声。每个人头都埋得低低的，不安分的眼睛却并未盯着课本，而是不时地互相交换着什么意见。谷老师面色凝重地站在讲台上，手里拿着两三页纸沉吟。我悄悄溜到自己的座位上，胳膊肘撞了撞同桌：“What’s wrong？”同桌头也不抬地指了指后面。我回头，瞧见后面的位子是空的。沈嘉没来吗？病了？我猜测着，同时也想，她太沉默了，每天说的话几乎不超过五句，这不利于健康。
谷老师忽然清了清喉咙，这是她要讲话的前奏。“同学们，我现在先不解释什么，我只想把沈嘉同学留下的这封信念一下，然后听听大家的想法。”
我好奇地抬起头。
“谷老师，同学们，我知道我是个很让人讨厌的人，大家都不愿意理我，可我没有别的办法好想，我只有开„„”
我吃了一惊，不明白她怎么会有这种想法，我还是挺喜欢这个安静但又胆怯的女孩的。没人理她？噢，也许，但大家都以为是她不喜欢和别人玩呀！
“是的，我在班里扮演了一个很差劲的角色。在每次课堂提问我答错了问题时，班里总是一阵让人难以忍受的沉默。大家不知在心底嘲笑过我多少次了，是吗？而我孤零零地站在位子前，看着一个个低下去拼命忍住笑的头，甚至没人肯抬头给我一个鼓励的目光，那种心情呀，我实在难以忘记„„”
“老天！”同桌惊呼，“大家是怕她难堪才不看她的，谁会嘲笑她呢？”我点点头，原来每次答错问题后都平静地坐下的沈嘉，竟会有如此强烈的心里反应。
“„„还记得那次英语演讲吗？没人知道我鼓了多大勇气，花了多少心血，没人知道我在台上的忐忑与焦虑。也许我真的很差，可我只祈求有一点掌声，然而没有，什么也没有。我就那么没用吗？
我的心开始由惊讶转为不安。只是掌声而已，为什么会如此吝啬给予？谁都知道沈嘉那次的演讲出人意料的精彩，而这一切难道可以只归结为，我们这个沉闷的班级并没有鼓掌的习惯吗？我陷入了沉思，不知不觉信已到了尾声。
“„„今天，是我的十六岁生日，在这个孤独的只属于自己的节日里告别，应该不会给大家添麻烦，或许我会转学，或许不会再上学了，总之，这个讨厌的身影会从大家眼前消失。”
信读完了，教室里充斥着可怕的寂静，在这寂静下又分明有一股激荡的暗流，那是每一颗不安的心灵的震撼。
班长站了起来：“老师，我们会找她回来，我们知道该怎样做。”是呀，谁都知道该怎样做，可似乎谁都忘记了去做，敏感的沈嘉用她的伤口提醒了我们。忘记的也许很多，父母、老师、朋友、同学，在粗糙的日子里，我们忘记了周围太多的感觉。
【评 语】
作者向我们讲述了一个故事：同学们的冷漠伤害了一位内心极其敏感的同学，她给大家留下一封信，离开了这个群体。
文章没有提及“沟通”二字，但却使我们深切地认识到沟通的重要，缺乏沟通的社会就缺乏温暖。文章用一封信贯穿全文，提示主题，构思非常巧妙。

第四篇：话题一：中小学生课业负担问题
话题一关于中小学课业负担的思考与减负增效途径分析
材料一：国家中长期教育发展规划纲要
我国教育还不完全适应国家经济社会发展和人民群众接受良好教育的要求。教育观念相对落后，内容方法比较陈旧，中小学生课业负担过重，素质教育推进困难；学生适应社会和就业创业能力不强，创新型、实用型、复合型人才紧缺；教育体制机制不完善，学校办学活力不足；教育结构和布局不尽合理，城乡、区域教育发展不平衡，贫困地区、民族地区教育发展滞后；教育投入不足，教育优先发展的战略地位尚未得到完全落实。接受良好教育成为人民群众强烈期盼，深化教育改革成为全社会共同心声。【导致的原因是什么？寻找原因，大概是对学习结果的高要求和考试结果的高要求所致，为什么有这么高的要求，调查中小学生：假如我有更多可支配的时间可利用，我将干什么？纪实性真实写作。了解如果没有适当的作业，学生会干什么？我们希望学生在当今社会环境里干什么？我们为学生设计出了什么？如果设计出了学生课余时间可以干的事情，可能能更好地引导学生的业余发展。让学生没事情做反而不好。学生回家后除了完成作业家长希望学生干什么？学生愿意干什么？】
（十）减轻中小学生课业负担。过重的课业负担严重损害儿童少年身心健康。减轻学生课业负担是全社会的共同责任，政府、学校、家庭、社会必须共同努力，标本兼治，综合治理。把减负落实到中小学教育全过程，促进学生生动活泼学习、健康快乐成长。率先实现小学生减负。【学生减负建议：在素质教育中，如果可以牺牲一门课程的话，应该牺牲哪门课程？——英语课程——改造：简单应用用语+国外文化了解+丰富世界历史文化了解+聪明人短时间内就可以掌握英语作为工具，而只有这部分聪明人才可能真正利用英语进行研究，是真正有用的。英语专业人才可以专业培养。我们再问一下，80%的人学习英语干什么用？根据将来就业岗位分析。至少是80%的人陪着20%的人学习英语，透着一种不公平!】
各级政府要把减负作为教育工作的重要任务，统筹规划，整体推进。调整教材内容，科学设计课程难度。改革考试评价制度和学校考核办法。规范办学行为，建立学生课业负担监测和公告制度。不得以升学率对地区和学校进行排名，不得下达升学指标。规范各种社会补习机构和教辅市场。加强校外活动场所建设和管理，丰富学生课外及校外活动。
【凡是主体者是行政部门的都好处理。通过严格规定进行执行。如不排名。但是消息会不胫而走的。社会评价体系？学区社区要求附近学校办好，给学校无形的压力。奋发图强。一旦社区集体上书将自己的学校建立成跟谁一样的学校，社会更复杂化了。加强学校提升工程是急迫的。政群关系、校群关系等。如果家长层面不接受现代观念，学校是难以实施落实的。】
学校要把减负落实到教育教学各个环节，给学生留下了解社会、深入思考、动手实践、健身娱乐的时间。提高教师业务素质，改进教学方法，增强课堂教学效果，减少作业量和考试次数。培养学生学习兴趣和爱好。严格执行课程方案，不得增加课时和提高难度。各种等级考试和竞赛成绩不得作为义务教育阶段入学与升学的依据。
充分发挥家庭教育在儿童少年成长过程中的重要作用。家长要树立正确的教育观念，掌握科学的教育方法，尊重子女的健康情趣，培养子女的良好习惯，加强与学校的沟通配合，共同减轻学生课业负担。
材料二：2010年部分中小学生暑期课业负担问题追踪
暑假结束了，抑或并未开始？——部分中小学生暑期课业负担问题追踪
刚刚结束的暑期对于一些中小学生而言，也许是轻松愉快的，而对另一些学生而言，却是紧张而忙碌的，仿佛暑假还没有开始就结束了。由于暑期作业、课外辅导班等接踵而至，让不少“被绑上战车”的孩子身心疲惫。
作业负担重 题海茫茫
这是北京市一个“小升初”学生的暑期作业“账单”：
语文、数学、英语近２００套习题，每套平均用时１小时；以上主课各一本暑期作业，完成一本约需半个月；８篇作文，平均每周２篇多；２篇读后感，每篇需引用６处原文；参观一处人文场馆，写一篇考察报告„„
今年１２岁的宋晓宇这个暑期过得并不轻松，为完成以上作业，他每天朝九晚五地跟妈妈一起去单位“上班”，有时晚上还要“加班”。日记里，晓宇郁闷地写道：“作业太多，真没意思。”
类似晓宇这样整个暑期被淹没在题海中的孩子不在少数。杭州的许林旭周二刚升初一，但她已提前把新学期的英语单词全部背完了。在语文老师的要求下又写了１２篇随笔和读后感，每天还要写一张钢笔字帖和英文字帖。“７月初学校开了家长会，任务就是布置作业，”许林旭的妈妈说。
近年来教育部门“减负”文件和通知频出，对学期内学生作业量和上课时间作了严格规定。然而，学校方面总有办法增加学生的学习时间，至于寒暑假期间该给学生布置多少作业，老师自主性比较大。
北京石景山银河小学语文教师陈老师告诉记者，小学生假期作业通常有３套基本习题，这个数量对于学生并不多。但各科老师一般都会根据本科课程进度布置额外的作业，有些还会给学生推荐配合课外辅导班的教材，这样一来学生的“总工作量”就会很大。
陈余新是南京市金陵中学实验小学的学生，今年他的作业中多了一项“暑假生活课程行动”，虽然只有薄薄１２页纸，但每一个章节都包含了阅读、练字、探亲访友、综合实践等内容。他说：“作业看起来很轻松，但做起来很费劲，暑假作业在开学前一天才完成。”
陈余新的家长告诉记者，这些内容对于一个中学生来说也许并不困难，但是对于一个才９岁的孩子，出门实践又要拿电脑，又要拿相机确实有难度。素质教育的创新我们表示欢迎，但要求小孩子“一口吃个大胖子”的确不现实。
补课压力大 疲于“赶场”
8月28日的北京市某高中一间教室里，30多名学生正在预习高三数学，嗡嗡旋转的电扇不敌闷热的天气，个别学生昏昏欲睡。文科学生王恒告诉记者：“这是暑期学校补课的最后一天，同学们虽然疲于“应对”，但不敢懈怠，有时候真想体验‘退休’是什么感觉。”
30日傍晚，南昌市KIKI精英教育中心4个教室里坐满了学生。其中一间教室，20多名五年级学生正跟着老师大声诵读英文。一名陈姓负责人说，他们根本不用做广告，孩子都是主动来报名的。由于暑期生源太多，还增加了一个新班级。
眼下各地的暑期培训班已成常态。强化班、冲刺班等随处可见。很多中小学生前脚从学校门出来，后脚又踏进了补习班的门，暑期培训班课程成了一些学生的必修课。
北京市东城区一名高中英语老师坦言，暑期比上班还忙。工作7年的她每年都在外面的补习班带课，平均每个假期教20来个学生。而她在学校所带的班级几乎一半的孩子暑期“开过小灶”。
家住南昌市北京西路的周子清即将上小学四年级，按说不存在升学压力的她，这个暑期应该比较轻松，然而她也是在奥数、英语、语文作文等一个接一个的辅导班中度过的，光是习题册和卷子堆在书桌上就有一尺多厚。若不是跟父母去上海看世博放松了一周，她甚至忘了自己是在过暑期。
看到女儿辛苦，作为妈妈的左女士心里充满矛盾：“要上好的中学，这些功课都是必须要做的。孩子辛苦我们看在眼里疼在心里，但是只能咬咬牙。”
记者在采访中了解到，目前小学生补课普遍集中在语文、数学、英语和奥数上，而奥数是最令学生“头疼”的一道坎。一些地方的重点初中用奥数成绩作为招生标准的一项，部分学生甚至为此同时上两三个补习班，这种单是为了升学而学习的现象较为普遍。
除了“传统”意义上的课程补习，一些地方还出现了新的补课内容，比如越来越多的中学生参加了体育集训班，为来年的中考体育测试备战。在杭州，根据相关规定，中考体育考试有三次机会，学生可以在跳远、跳绳等项目中自主选择，按最高分录取。与文化课相比，从体育上提高成绩似乎成了一条升学捷径。
杭州市教育局一位相关负责人对记者说：“我们的初衷是为了让学生提高身体素质，减轻应试压力，结果事与愿违。体育成了应试教育的一部分，最后成了学生的新负担。”
学生“减负”不能流于空谈
暑期本是孩子放松娱乐、丰富课外知识的时间，而长期以来的升学压力让暑期偏离了本身含义。一个辛苦学期的结束却意味着另一段辛苦学习的开始，不少孩子身心俱疲。
令人费解的是，“减负”年年提，“增负”年年有。许多地方明令禁止中小学组织
学生集体补课，但实际情况大相径庭，特别是那些面临“小升初”和“中考”的学生。
北京一位中学负责人告诉记者，虽然教育部门有“禁补令”，但暑期给学生补课的学校并非个别。一方面学校要靠提高升学率吸引优秀生源，另一方面部分家长也希望孩子提高应试能力。
究其原因，大概有家长对孩子“金榜题名、仕途高升”的愿望，有孩子们对竞争社会“适者生存”的无奈，最根本的还是现行教育制度中“唯考分论”的因素。采访中一位老师直言不讳：“现行以考试衡量学生的制度不改变，‘减负’就是一句空谈。”
应试教育催生了“唯考分论”，在这种考试制度下，一些家长对于孩子自身的全面发展很难兼顾。一位初三学生的家长傅先生说：“孩子本可在擅长的领域有所发展，但分数至上的评价标准在主导着他们。更让人担心的是，孩子们逐渐习惯了这种紧张的、不间断的学习生活。”
北京市55中高三年级一位老师对记者坦言，高分数是学校优质生源的保障，也是教师奖金评定的依据。在目前的考试制度下，老师只好去抓升学率，而最终承受压力的是学生。
近日实施的《国家中长期教育改革和发展规划纲要》提出，将通过“改革考试评价制度和学校考核办法”等方式为学生减负。对于升学压力导致学生课业负担加重的原因，提出改革措施：各种等级考试和竞赛成绩不得作为义务教育阶段入学与升学的依据。
对此，21世纪教育研究员副院长熊丙奇指出，要切实减轻应试教育造成的学生负担，不但要从体制上扭转目前“唯分数论”的应试教育局面，还要推行对学生的综合、动态的多元评价体系。素质教育不是一句空话，“减负”不能仅仅是一个“愿景”。（新华网北京9月1日电 “新华视点”记者刘敏、章苒、沈洋）
