钢铁战士史光柱

    4月28日，在还击入侵我老山越军的战斗中，出现了一个壮烈的场面：云南边防部队某部队九连班长、共产党员史光柱，带领全班同志英勇奋战，很快就冲上了半山腰，排长不幸负了重伤。在这关键时刻，史光柱挺身而出，主动接替排长指挥战斗。

    敌人企图阻止我军前进，子弹在战士们头上嗖嗖飞过，史光柱率先跃入敌战壕，打击敌人。突然，敌人从暗堡里射出子弹打伤了史光柱的右脚，战友们准备送他下去，他咬着牙说：“为了祖国的尊严。我要继续战斗，不拿下高地，决不下山。”说完，他又忍痛跳出战壕，继续指挥战斗。

    扑进敌人第二道战壕时，史光柱不幸踏响了地雷，面部多处受伤，双腿血肉模糊，右眼球掉出。刹时眼前一片漆黑，什么也看不见了。这时越军疯狂的枪声在他耳边轰鸣。战友们顽强冲杀的场面在他脑海里回荡。突然，他顽强地跃起，巍然屹立在血与火的战场上，发出了震撼人心的呼喊：“为牺牲的战友报仇，坚决拿下高地！”听到史光柱的呼喊，全班同志奋勇冲杀，迅速地拿下了高地，全歼了山头的守敌。

    史光柱被送到了医院。他在医院里也从不叫苦叫痛。凡是看过他的人们，无不被他的英雄事迹和顽强的毅力所感动，都赞扬史光柱是“人民的英雄，钢铁的战士”。

A Book Review—The Snake-Stone by Berlie Doherty

    The setting: Urban England (the cities), but also rural England (the countryside) including remote English villages.

    The theme: The main theme is a teenage search of self-discovery, in this case the search for a mother from whom the hero was separated at an early age. Its other concerns are love, getting on with others, being persistent and courageous and trying to deal with doubts, troubles and worries. As the book moves to a close, James' swimming coach says to him: “You are not like a kid obeying instructions any more. You are diving like a young man who knows where he is going.”

    The characters: James is the hero of the story. He is a championship diver, and has a comfortable life with his foster parents (养父母). Yet he also has the qualities to take him on a long journey to find his birth mother. The other characters in The Snake-Stone, James' parents, his diving instructor, best friend, the villagers, people he meets on his journey, are pictured realistically.

    The turning point: The turning point in the story comes while James' foster parents are away in London, and he wonders about the identity of his birth mother. The only clue he has is a fossil, “the snake stone” which she left behind along with a note on which she had written: “Take good care of Sammie. It was written on a torn envelope with parts of an address still there.

    The journey: Instead of going to London, James decides to find his birth mother. With help from his geography teacher, James sets out for the remote country village where his mother might be found. James has painful, challenging, but also humorous and happy travels. The mother he finally meets, Anne, has a minor yet powerful voice in the novel. He comes to understand why she left him at a stranger's door fifteen years before. Although the meeting is not long, it leaves him with a feeling of completeness. As a journey of self-discovery The Snake-Stone also provides its readers with a happy ending. Its hero says, on returning to his foster parents, “I was home.”
