"Let's go climb now!" a child shouted. They ran towards a cliff. 4. I can’t make up my mind at the moment. Although I really hope that I can be as lively and brave as them, I have been sick for eight years since I was born, and I have always kept in mind my mother's advice not to take risks. 5. "Come on!" My best friend Jerry shouted to me, "Don't be a coward." 6. "I'm coming!" I responded and ran after them. 7. We finally came to an open space. The cliff stood on the other side of the clearing. It is a vertical cliff with many protruding rocks, broken earth and unkempt shrubs. It is only about twenty meters high, but in my eyes it is an unattainable and dangerous peak. 8. The other children climbed up one by one, heading towards a narrow rock shelf two-thirds of the way to the top of the cliff. I fell at the end, trembling all over and breaking out in cold sweat, and climbed up with them. My heart was pounding in my bony chest. 9. I finally climbed up and squatted on the stone shelf. I was terrified and tried to lean in as much as possible. The other children slowly moved towards the edge of the stone shelf. I watched and almost fainted with fear. 10. Then they started climbing to the top of the cliff again. They planned to go home along a circuitous path from the top of the cliff. 11. "Hey, wait a minute," I begged weakly, "I can't-" 12. "Goodbye!" said one of the children. The other children also laughed. 13. They turned left and right and climbed to the top of the cliff, staring down at me. "If you want to stay there, just stay there." One child mocked, "You're welcome." Jerry seemed a little worried, but he still left with everyone. 14. I looked down from the stone shelf and felt dizzy; there was absolutely no way I could climb down, I would slip and fall to death. However, the climb to the top of the cliff is more difficult because it is steeper and more dangerous. I heard someone sobbing and wondered who it was, until I realized it was me. 15. Time passed by minute by minute, and twilight began to close. In the silence, I lay on the rock, numb with fear and fatigue, unable to move. 16. It was dusk, stars appeared in the sky, and the earth under the cliff became darker and darker. At this time, a flashlight light came and went in the woods. I heard the voices of Jerry and my father! My father's flashlight shone on me. "Come down, child," he said in a comforting tone, "supper is ready." 17. "I can't get down!" I cried, "I will fall, I will fall to death!" 18 "Listen to me," my father said. "Don't think about the distance. Just think about taking a small step. You can do it. Look where my flashlight shines. Can you see the rock under the shelf?" 19. I slowly moved my body over. "I saw it." I said. 20. "Okay," he said to me, "Now put your left foot on that rock. Don't worry about the next step. Just listen to me." 21. It seems possible. I carefully stretched out my left foot to explore the rock and stepped on it. I suddenly felt confident. "Very good," my father shouted, "Now move your right foot and move it to a slightly lower place on the right, where there is another foothold." I did it again. My confidence soared. "I can do this," I thought. 22. I only moved one small step at a time and slowly climbed down the cliff. Finally, I stepped on the rock under the cliff and threw myself into my father's strong arms. I sobbed for a while, and then I felt a huge sense of accomplishment. This is an experience I will never forget. 23. I have found many times that whenever I feel that my future is unclear and discouraged, I can cope with everything as long as I remember the experience I learned on that small cliff a long time ago. I reminded myself not to think about the rocks far below, but to focus on the first small step. Take this step and then the next until I reach where I want to be. At this time, I can look back with surprise and pride at how long the journey has been.

Related knowledge: About "One Step, One More Step" "One Step, One More Step" was written by the American writer Morton Hunter when he was 65 years old, recalling an experience of climbing a cliff when he was 8 years old. When he was a child, he was different from other children. He was frail and sick. He climbed a cliff with five little boys. He finally climbed to a rock shelf and climbed 1/3 of the height. He could no longer go up, nor could he get down. Caught in a terrible dilemma. Later, as my father said, I took one small step at a time and finally got out of danger. The author generalizes this experience to become the wealth of life and a magic weapon to overcome all difficulties. Edit this paragraph for overall insights 1. Concept of the article. Through a mountain climbing experience in my childhood, I realized a meaningful philosophy of life: on the road of life, no matter what dangers and difficulties you encounter, as long as you break it down Come on, overcome the small difficulties step by step, and eventually you can overcome the biggest difficulties. 2. Article context The article has 23 paragraphs and can be divided into three parts. The first part (1~14), adventure. Write "I" followed my friends and climbed up to a stone shelf halfway up the mountain. It was impossible to go up or down. The second part (15~22), escape.

Write "I" lying on the stone shelf in fear. Later, with the encouragement of my father, I walked down the stone shelf step by step. The third part (23), insights. Write about the life principles I gained from climbing mountains when I was a child. 3. Writing method 1. Proficient in narrative skills. This article pays attention to the before and after in the narrative, and pays attention to setting up foreshadowing, so that the article is well-narrated. "I"'s illness and weakness are reflected in the text. Jerry is mentioned in several places in the article, and every word is full of originality. Jerry told me "Don't be a coward" and Jerry's uneasiness all foreshadowed the rest of the article. This article adopts the writing method of flashback, and uses pen to explain the time and cause of the incident in a frugal manner. I also use a crisp pen to end my memories, so that they are integrated with the main text. 2. The description is accurate and appropriate. This article successfully uses language, action, psychological description and scene description. The language of the characters in the article accurately reflects their respective personalities. For example, "my" timidity and my father's patience and meticulousness are all appropriately described in the article. "I"'s movements and psychology make the whole event truly and vividly displayed in front of the readers. The description, rendering and foil of the scene description all play a role in highlighting the center. 3. See the big from the small, and the philosophy is profound. Although the language of this article is plain, it is still interesting to read. In terms of material selection, it is undoubtedly a model of "seeing the big from the small". Such little things are common to everyone. The sublimation of small things benefits from the plain but impactful and musical way of expressing the title "Take one step, then another step". Of course, it also benefits from the author's breakthrough in people's conventional thinking: people are often used to taking a long-term view, but often Ignore the huge support power of "taking one step" and "taking one more step" in life in troubled times! The second feature of this article is that it is narrated in a child's voice, making it more suitable for children to read. Regardless of plot narration, psychological description or language style, they all belong to children. This article also provides an excellent counterexample to those adult student compositions. It makes people think deeply: What is a meaningful "thing" for children? 4. Introduction to major and difficult points ⑴ What difficulties did "I" encounter? How did I solve it? What is the key to solving this difficulty? "I" and the children inadvertently climbed up a vertical cliff during the game and could not get down. "I" was so scared that I lay on the rock and didn't dare to move. In the dusk, my father used a flashlight to guide "me" down the cliff step by step. The key to solving this problem is to break it into parts and turn a big difficulty into small difficulties that can be solved with a little effort. In solving these difficulties, "I" gradually built up confidence until the confidence increased greatly and until the difficulties were overcome. ⑵ What are the specific aspects of the difficulties "I" encountered? Can you talk about them respectively? This question is designed to guide everyone to develop the habit of careful reading and learn to summarize and analyze while reading. The difficulties are specifically reflected in the following aspects: ① The cliff is steep, and in "I" eyes it is an unattainable and dangerous peak; ② "I" is weak and sickly, and has been in poor health for the past eight years; ③ The dusk is dim, and the earth is getting worse and worse. dark. ⑶Why other children climbed to the top of the mountain, but "I" couldn't? "Jerry" is mentioned in many places in the article. What is the purpose? This question is still to cultivate our habit of careful reading. "I" cannot climb to the top of the mountain. The most fundamental reason is due to "my" physical condition. The article mentions "I" being frail and sick in many places. If you read it carefully, you will find that "I have been sick for eight years since I was born, and I have always kept in mind my mother's admonition not to take risks." This is a direct statement, "I "My whole body was shaking and sweating", "My heart was pounding in my bony chest", "My heart was pounding", "I almost fainted" and "Fear and fatigue made my whole body numb" are side hints. When reading, you should be good at finding these foreshadowing sentences and experience the thoughtful expression of the article. "Jerry" is mentioned in many places, which is also necessary for the writing. On the one hand, it shows that he is full of friendship. At first he encouraged "me" to "don't be a coward"; when everyone left, he "looked a little worried"; in the end it was he who led his father to me. Jerry is a child who is as playful as other children, but also different from other children. On the other hand, the existence of Jerry, a friendly child, paved the way for the following article and his father to find this place, making the writing of the article more rigorous. ⑷How do you understand that your father did not go up the cliff to pick up "me" after he found "me"? Answering this question requires understanding the in-depth content of the article. The father saw that the child was unable to get off the cliff, knowing that he would fall to death if he was not careful. But he didn't go up to save the child. It is worth pondering to read carefully how my father taught "me". The father knew very well that if he went to save the child, the child's own abilities would not improve at all. He let the children come down on their own and experience a test to gain courage and experience. In fact, "I" did get an unforgettable experience from it. When a father does this and only gives guidance and encouragement, a weak child can gain confidence and become brave. ⑸What role does the last paragraph of the article play in the article? Does "Take one step, then take another step" only refer to the situation when "I" stepped off the cliff? From the content point of view, the last paragraph of the article is no longer limited to "I" "That experience of going down the cliff. It refers to the various setbacks in the journey of life. When facing these setbacks, do not think about how big the entire difficulty is, but only focus on the first small step, step by step, until all difficulties are solved. In the article, this paragraph of text plays a finishing touch, making the philosophy of the article stand out in front of the readers.

"Take one step, then take another step" first refers to the process of "I" overcoming difficulties with the encouragement of my father, and secondly, it also refers to the step-by-step specific actions to overcome setbacks when faced with setbacks in life. Reading this text, you can learn the experience the author "learned on that small cliff" when he was a child. This is a life experience to overcome all difficulties and obstacles. No matter what kind of danger or difficulty, as long as you break it down into small steps, the difficulty will not be big. "You just need to think that you are taking a small step" and "take this step before taking the next step." If you go step by step, you can overcome even the biggest difficulties. The key is to break it down into parts. Big difficulties are made up of small difficulties. Small difficulties are not difficult to overcome. If you overcome small difficulties step by step, you will finally overcome huge difficulties. Of course, the important thing is to take every step well and keep going step by step. This kind of life experience gives people the confidence to overcome all difficulties and obstacles. "I" climbed to the stone shelf, unable to go up or down, and fell into despair and fear. After listening to my father's words, I felt that it was possible to do it with one small step. The first step was successful, and "I suddenly gained confidence." Step by step success, "confidence greatly increased." This experience enables him to cope with everything in his future life. From a past incident, the author realized a philosophy of life, which became a spiritual wealth. This gives us a revelation that we must be good at understanding in life and be good at understanding the truth from events. Philosophy has universal significance, and people who are good at understanding it will become smarter. Perception is also very important for writing. Although this text describes only an adventure, it has a high intention and is full of instruction. A text can be explored from different angles and gain multiple benefits. The father saw that the child was unable to get off the cliff, knowing that he would fall to death if he was not careful. But he didn't go up to save the child. It is interesting to read carefully how fathers teach their children. It seems that this father knows very well that if he goes to save the child, his child's own abilities will not improve at all. He let the children come down by themselves and undergo an experience to gain courage and experience. In fact, "I" did get an unforgettable experience from it. This father knows how to train his children. He only provides guidance and encouragement, so that a weak child can gain confidence and become brave. From a child's point of view, the road must be walked by oneself and cannot always be carried by adults. In the process of walking on one's own, one must receive experience from adults. Look at five more children. It was Jerry who went to find his father. He was full of friendship. The other four children left "me" there and laughed mercilessly. It was really bad to do this to their playmates. The carefulness of the narrative is worth learning from. Why can five children climb to the top of the cliff, but "I" can only climb to one-third of the height of the rock shelf, and can't go up or down, and I'm scared to death? The article mentions his illness and frailty in many places, which is foreshadowing. Jerry is mentioned in several places, and the craftsmanship is evident in every word. Regarding the cliff, it not only explains its danger, but also explains the degree of danger, which are necessary and careful explanations. The psychological activities of "I" are also well written and worth pondering. Edit this paragraph to study the questions: 1. Why is "sultry" highlighted at the beginning? What is its function? The first paragraph is about how the children came up with the idea of ??climbing a cliff. The reason why I wrote about the sultry weather was because "I" felt very irritable and depressed, so I wrote about the motivation. It exaggerates the irritability of the children and lays the groundwork for the following story about wanting to climb up the cliff to cool off. 2. The last paragraph says, "I feel discouraged when I see a bleak future," and then "until I get to where I want to go." Since the place I want to go is "very clear," why does it say "the future is bleak"? Here, "the future is bleak." ” means that I don’t know how to get to where I want to go, and there are many difficulties and difficulties. 3. "I carefully stretched out my left foot to explore the rock and stepped on it." Can the word "explore" in this sentence be changed to the word "stand"? Why? No, the word "tank" shows that I am very careful, and deeply describes my characteristics of being weak and timid. Only using the word "tank", which means "tank" is very careful, can it lead to the following process of my confidence increasing and finally successfully escaping from danger. 4. Appreciation of famous quotes I remind myself not to think about the rocks far below, but to focus on the first small step. Take this step and then the next until I reach where I want to go. At this time, I can look back with surprise and pride at how long the journey has been. To clarify the main purpose of the article, the author realized a philosophy of life from a past event, which became a spiritual wealth. 5. What is the emotional tone of this article? The joy and pride in overcoming difficulties. 6. Find the sentence of life philosophy and briefly describe its role in the article. I should focus on that first small step, take this step and then take the next step until I reach where I want to go. Its role is to reveal the central (deepening) theme.
