Title format

The basic rule for writing the title of an article is to arrange it in the center, and the font size should be larger than the main text. The font should also be different from the main text, and there should be one blank line above and below. If the title has a large number of words, you should consider arranging it in separate lines, but when dividing the lines, you should pay attention to the completeness of the meaning before and after, and it is still required to be centered when arranged coherently.

The subtitle should be immediately below the main title, with no blank lines in between, a dash before the title, and the font used should be different from the main title.

The title should be written in the center. Under normal circumstances, the subtitle should start with a dash under the third word of the main title. If there are not enough boxes and the subtitle cannot be written, there are generally two ways to deal with it: First, it is best if the subtitle of the article can be further summarized and processed in words. Second, what cannot be further summarized or reduced, our basic processing principle is to be generous and beautiful. First, make the font smaller than the main title and draw a dash from the middle of the main title. In the subtitle, if the text after the dash is written until the end of the line and is not finished, it needs to be changed to a new line. After line wrapping, align with the first Chinese character of the subtitle. In addition, the text on separate lines should be in good sentences. For example, for "we", it is best not to write "I" on the first line and "we" on the second line.

Little flowers growing under rocks

① In the second year of junior high school, I saw towering buildings from the 14-inch black and white TV at home. Straight up into the sky, the majestic overpasses are spiraling, cars one after another are shuttling in an orderly manner, the neon lights on the streets are shining with alluring brilliance, and the dazzling array of merchandise in the shopping malls is dazzling.

②I was stunned, it turns out that the city is so beautiful! ③As a young man, I fell into deep sadness.

④The next day, I asked my father: "You Why aren't you from the city?" I thought, it would be great if my father were from the city, and then I would be a city person.

⑤ During the summer vacation, several college students from the city came to sketch in our mountain. They carried picture folders and wore sun hats,

full of foreign style. Among them was a girl named Huang Chuncao, who stayed at my house.

⑥One morning, in order to paint the sunrise, she got up at dawn. I pestered her to watch her paint, so I went with her. We climbed to the top of the mountain together, and the sun rose, bright red, reflecting the clouds particularly beautifully. Huang Chuncao put up the painting folder and painted with concentration. After she finished painting, we sat on a rock and chatted. I said, "I really envy you. You live in a big city and enjoy a prosperous life and a good education. It's really meaningless to live like this." But she said, "Don't think that other people's lives are too beautiful. "Don't be so sentimental at a young age."

⑦So she said: "Deep in a mountain, there was a little girl whose mother died of illness when she was ten years old. When she was twelve years old, her father was injured while carrying wood, and she could no longer do physical work. She carried a rag bag and ran to school six kilometers away. After school, she had to cut pig grass. Like a man, he would tie a rope around his waist and go down to the cliff to dig for medicinal materials to earn some money to support his family and pay for his tuition and fees. Later, when she was admitted to university, she took out more than 8,000 yuan in student loans?"

⑧I could not imagine that there was someone more unfortunate than me in the world. I thought she was making up stories for me, but Huang Chuncao said that this girl was her. ⑨I looked at Huang Chuncao in surprise, her face was very calm. I think I am much luckier than Huang Chuncao. At least, I still have a father and mother who love me.

⑩ Huang Chunping pointed her finger into the distance, and following the direction of her finger, I was surprised to find an unknown flower growing under a protruding rock. The rock was like an outstretched eaves, strictly blocking the sun, but the little flowers actually bloomed. She said: "Although the sunlight does not directly shine on the little flower, the little flower has already felt the presence of the sun in her heart, even if it is a little bit of residual light."

⑾Yes, we cannot choose the time when we are born. and location, but we can choose to be tenacious and able to thrive in a difficult environment, just like the little flower growing under the rock.
