如果你随便找一个中学生，问他什么是对数，什么是洛仑兹定律，什么是原子核式结构，他一定可以把这些东西给你讲得头头是道，让你惊叹当今青少年个个都是科学家的料。但是，你找个尖子生，问他在野外被蛇咬了怎么办，他也许会搔搔脑袋瓜，苦想各类化学反应式，然后淡茫地对你说声“不知道”。那么，“青菜多少钱一斤？”“不知道！”“被子怎么叠”“不知道！”“为什么啥都不知道？”“也不知道！”
If you ask any middle school student what is logarithm, Lorentz's law and nuclear structure, he can tell you all these things, and let you wonder that all the young people are scientists. However, you find a top student and ask him what to do if he is bitten by a snake in the wild. He may scratch his head and think about all kinds of chemical reactions, and then say "I don't know" to you. So, "how much is a jin of green vegetables?" "I don't know!" "How to fold the quilt" "I don't know!" "Why don't you know anything?" "I don't know!"
这就是中国教育的一个现状：对科学知识抓得狠，也把各类奥赛搞得红红火火，但却似乎对常识的教育力度不够。学校的课程包罗万象，可以独缺“常识”。学生们便因此被搁在高高在上的“象牙之塔”，只搞着高端学问。当今中国要强国，靠的是飞机、大炮、火箭这些高科技，似乎就应该给学生“喂饱”科技知识。“常识那些小事儿，何足挂齿，成大事者不拘小节嘛。”每当看到这些言论，我真想拍案而起，高呼一句：“此言谬矣，别拿常识不当干粮！”
This is the current situation of China's education: we should pay close attention to scientific knowledge and make all kinds of Olympic Games popular, but it seems that the education of common sense is not enough. The school's courses are all inclusive and can be short of "common sense". Therefore, students are placed in the tower of elephant's teeth, only engaged in high-end knowledge. Nowadays, China is going to be a strong country, relying on such high-tech technologies as airplanes, artillery and rockets. It seems that we should "feed" our students with scientific and technological knowledge. "Common sense, those little things, don't care. Those who become big don't care about small things." When I see these remarks, I really want to take action and shout, "this is a fallacy. Don't take common sense as food!"
常识是一门指导我们生活得更好的艺术。衣、食、住、行等日常行为，无一不需要常识的引导。我们现在洗衣煮饭等家务活可以由父母包办，各种事宜可以由父母操劳，俨然一个个不问政事的小皇帝。但父母不能照料我们一辈子，长大后还是要靠自理。倘若不懂常识，将来岂不是要处处碰壁？难道还事事都找个电话问父母？而连自己都照料不好，生活一塌糊涂，又怎有心思搞学问？
Common sense is an art that guides us to live better. Common sense is needed to guide daily behaviors such as clothing, food, shelter and transportation. Now we can do housework such as washing, cooking and so on by our parents. We can do all kinds of things by our parents. We are like little emperors who don't care about politics. But our parents can't take care of us all our lives. We still have to take care of ourselves when we grow up. If you don't know common sense, will you run into trouble everywhere in the future? Do you still have to find a phone to ask your parents about everything? And even if you can't take good care of yourself and your life is in a mess, how can you be interested in learning?
常识也是科技的基础。科学并不是“空中楼阁”，而是广生于人们对身边事物的实践与探索。牛顿从苹果落地的常识中总结出万有引力定律；鲁班从叶子会割伤手的常识中发明出锯子。离开常识而空谈高科技，就像盖楼房不起地基，是靠不住的。
Common sense is also the foundation of science and technology. Science is not a castle in the air, but widely born in people's practice and exploration of things around them. Newton summed up the law of gravitation from the common sense of Apple landing; Luban invented the saw from the common sense that leaves can cut hands. Leaving common sense and talking about high technology is like building without foundation, which is unreliable.
由此观之，在素质教育制度中，增加常识的普及，是很有意义的。应做到常识与科技知识两手抓。但同时，我们还要培养学生的创新意识以及独立思考能力，使他们能在平凡的常识中总结出科学规律，又或者让他们大胆质疑常识，不要囿于常识。当年伟大的物理学家伽利略，正是在对常识的质疑中提出了新的思想。历史也证明了他的这一大胆质疑是正确的。
Therefore, it is of great significance to increase the popularization of common sense in the quality education system. We should grasp both common sense and scientific knowledge. But at the same time, we should also cultivate students' innovative consciousness and independent thinking ability, so that they can summarize scientific laws in common sense, or let them dare to question common sense, not limited to common sense. Galileo, the great physicist of that year, put forward new ideas in the query of common sense. History also proves that his bold query is right.
常识是人们生存的基础，是科技发展的基础，其对于人的意义堪比干粮。别拿常识不当干粮，用它来“填饱”学生的脑袋，用它来支起科学大厦的腰腹吧！
Common sense is the basis of people's survival and development of science and technology, and its significance to people is comparable to dry food. Don't take common sense as dry food. Use it to "fill" the brain of students. Use it to support the waist and abdomen of science building!

题目化用俗语，巧用比喻，生动形象，吸引人。把“常识”比作“干粮”——基本的生存物质，强调了“常识”的基本要义，题目与正文内容相得益彰。
The topic turns to use the common saying, skillfully uses the metaphor, vivid image, attractive. Comparing "common sense" to "dry food" - the basic living material, this paper emphasizes the basic significance of "common sense", and the topic and the text complement each other.
全文围绕“常识”作文，切合题意，中心突出，强调了普及生活常识的必要性。文章内容充实，开头针对教育界重“高端学问”的传授，忽略普及生活常识的现象，呼吁社会不要轻视常识。然后从常识对日常生活的引导，常识是科技的基础，以及需要质疑常识三方面逐层论证，层层深入，文尾扣题，结构严谨。本文最突出的是语言表达具有形象性，生动自然，有个人见解，感情真挚。
This paper focuses on "common sense" composition, which is suitable for the meaning of the topic, with a prominent center, and emphasizes the necessity of popularizing common sense of life. At the beginning of the article, it focuses on the teaching of "high-end knowledge" in education, neglects the phenomenon of popularizing common sense of life, and appeals to the society not to despise common sense. Then from the guidance of common sense to daily life, common sense is the basis of science and technology, as well as the need to question common sense, three aspects are demonstrated layer by layer, in-depth layer by layer, the end of the article is close to the topic, and the structure is rigorous. The most outstanding thing in this paper is that the language expression is vivid, natural, personal and sincere.
但本文的书写不够工整，对常识的表述还不够精确，个别语句有瑕疵。
However, the writing of this paper is not neat enough, the expression of common sense is not accurate enough, and some sentences are flawed.
