　　It is well that young men should begin at the beginning and occupy the most subordinate positions. Many of the leading businessmen of Pittsburgh had a serious responsibility thrust upon them at the very threshold of their career. They were introduced to the broom, and spent the first hours of their business lives sweeping out the office. I notice we have janitors and janitresses now in offices, and our young men unfortunately miss that salutary branch of business education. But if by chance the professional sweeper is absent any morning, the boy who has the genius of the future partner in him will not hesitate to try his hand at the broom. It does not hurt the newest comer to sweep out the office if necessary. I was one of those sweepers myself.

　　Assuming that you have all obtained employment and are fairly started, my advice to you is “aim high”. I would not give a fig for the young man who does not already see himself the partner or the head of an important firm. Do not rest content for a moment in your thoughts as head clerk, or foreman, or general manager in any concern, no matter how extensive. Say to yourself, “My place is at the top.” Be king in your dreams.

　　And here is the prime condition of success, the great secret: concentrate your energy, thought, and capital exclusively upon the business in which you are engaged. Having begun in one line, resolve to fight it out on that line, to lead in it, adopt every improvement, have the best machinery, and know the most about it.

　　The concerns which fail are those which have scattered their capital, which means that they have scattered their brains also. They have investments in this, or that, or the other, here there, and everywhere. “Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.” is all wrong. I tell you to “put all your eggs in one basket, and then watch that basket.” Look round you and take notice, men who do that not often fail. It is easy to watch and carry the one basket. It is trying to carry too many baskets that breaks most eggs in this country. He who carries three baskets must put one on his head, which is apt to tumble and trip him up. One fault of the American businessman is lack of concentration.

　　To summarize what I have said: aim for the highest; never enter a bar room; do not touch liquor, or if at all only at meals; never speculate; never indorse beyond your surplus cash fund; make the firm’s interest yours; break orders always to save owners; concentrate; put all your eggs in one basket, and watch that basket; expenditure always within revenue; lastly, be not impatient, for as Emerson says, “no one can cheat you out of ultimate success but yourselves.”

　　Stray birds of summer come to my window to sing and fly away.

　　And yellow leaves of autumn,which have no songs,flutter and fall there with a sign.

　　O Troupe of little vagrants of the world,leave your footprints in my words.

　　The world puts off its mask of vastness to its lover.

　　It becomes small as one song,as one kiss of the eternal.

　　It is the tears of the earth that keep her smiles in bloom.

　　The mighty desert is burning for the love of a blade of grass who shakes her head and laughs and flies away.

　　If you shed tears when you miss the sun,you also miss the stars.

　　The sands in your way beg for your song and your movement,dancing water,Will you carry the burden of their lameless?

　　Her wishful face haunts my dreams like the rain at night.

　　Once we dreamt that we were strangers.

　　We wake up to find that we were dear to each other.

　　Prometheus was a Titan ．In the war between Zeus the giants he had stood on the side of the new Olympian gods．Out of the clay he made the first man，to whom Athena gave soul and holy breath．Prometheus spent a lot of time and energy in creating the gift of fire．The fire raised man above all animals ．Later，there held a joint meeting of gods and men．

　　The meeting was to decide what part of burnt animals should be given to gods and what to men．Prometheus cut up an ox and divided it into two parts：under the skin he placed the fresh，and under the fat he put the bones，for he knew the selfish Zeus loved fat． Zeus saw through the trick and felt displeased at the Prometheus' favor towards men．So in a masterful way he took away the gift of fire from mankind．However，Prometheus managed to steal fire from heaven and secretly brought it down to men．Flying into an anger at this unjustified act of rebellion，Zeus let the other gods chain Prometheus to a rock on Mountain Caucasus，where a hungry eagle ever tore at his liver which ever grew again．His period of pain was to be thirty-thousand years．Prometheus faced his bitter fate firmly and never lost courage before Zeus．At last Heracles made Prometheus and Zeus restore to friend ship，when Heracles came over in search of the golden apple and killed the eagle and set the friend of mankind free．

　　As a child—and as an * as well—Bill was untidy. It has been said that in order to counteract this. Mary drew up weekly clothing plans for him. On Mondays he might go to school in blue, on Tuesdays in green, on Wednesdays in brown , on Thursdays in black, and so on , Weekend meal schedules might also be planned in detail. Everything time have to set in, Bill Gates hates Everything time ,at work or during his leisure time.

　　Bill’s contemporaries, even at the age, recognized that he was exceptional. Every year, he and his friends would go to summer camp. Bill especially liked * and other sports. One of his summer camp friends recalled, “He was never a nerd or a goof or the kind of kid you didn’t want your team. We all knew Bill was smarter than us.

　　Bill was also well ahead of his classmates in mathematics and science. He needed to go to a school that challenged him to Lakeside—an all-boys’ school for exceptional students. It was Seattle’s most exclusive school and was noted for its rigorous academic demands, a place where “even the dumb kids were smart.”

　　Lakeside allowed students to pursue their own interests, to whatever extent they wished. The school prided itself on making conditions and facilities available that would enable all its students to reach their full potential . It was the ideal environment for someone like Bill Gates.

　　In 1968, the school made a decision that would change thirteen-year-old Bill Gates’s life—and that of many of others, too.

　　The school to gain access to a com*r—a Program Data processor(PDP)—through a teletype machine. Bill Gates was immediately hooked— so was his best friend at the time, Kent Evans, and another student, Paul Allen, who was two years older than Bill.

　　Whenever they had free time, and sometimes when they didn’t, they would dash over to the com*r room to use the machine. The students became so single-minded that they soon overtook their teachers in knowledge about computing and got into a lot of trouble because of their obsession. They were neglecting their other studies—every piece of word was handed in late. Classes were cut. Com*r time was also proving to be very expensive. Within months, the whole budget that had been set aside for the year had been used up.

　　At fourteen, Bill was already writing short programs for the com*r to perform. Early games programs such as Tic-Tac-Toe, or Noughts and Crosses, and Lunar Landing were written in what was to become Bill’s second language, BASIC.

　　If Bill Gates was going to be good at something. It was essential to be the best.

　　Bill’s and Paul’s fascination with com*rs and the business world meant that they read a great deal. Paul enjoyed magazines like Popular Electronics, while Bill read business magazines .Com*r time was expensive and, because both boys were desperate to get more time and because Bill already had an insight into what they could achieve financially, the two of them decided to set themselves up as a company: The Lakeside Programmers Group. “Let’s call the real world and try to sell something to it!” Bill announced.

　　Half the people on our streets look as though life was a sorry business. It is hard to find a happy looking man or woman. Worry is the cause of their woebegone appearance. Worry makes the wrinkles; worry cuts the deep, down-glancing lines on the face; worry is the worst disease of our modern times. Care is contagious; it is hard work being cheerful at a funeral, and it is a good deal harder to keep the frown from your face when you are in the throng of the worry worn ones. Yet, we have no right to be dispensers of gloom; no matter how heavy our loads may seem to be we have no right to throw their burden on others nor even to cast the shadow of them on other hearts. Anxiety is instability. Fret steals away force. He who dreads tomorrow trembles today. Worry is weakness. The successful men may be always wide-awake, but they never worry. Fret and fear are like fine sand, thrown into life's delicate mechanism; they cause more than half the friction; they steal half the power. Cheer is strength. Nothing is so well done as that which is done heartily, and nothing is so heartily done as that which is done happily. Be happy, is an injunction not impossible of fulfillment. Pleasure may be an accident; but happiness comes in definite ways. It is the casting out of our foolish fears that we may have room for a few of our common joys. It is the telling our worries to wait until we get through appreciating our blessings. Take a deep breath, raise your chest, lift your eyes from the ground, look up and think how many things you have for which to be grateful, and you will find a smile growing where one may long have been unknown. Take the right kind of thought—for to take no thought would be sin—but take the calm, unanxious thought of your business, your duties, your difficulties, your disappointments and all the things that once have caused you fear, and you will find yourself laughing at most of them.

初中晨读美文英语摘抄1

　　"Everything happens for the best," my mother saidwhenever faced disappointment. "If you can carryon, one day something good will happen. And you'llrealize that it wouldn't have happened if not for thatprevious disappointment. " Mother was right, as Idiscovered after graduating from college in 1932. Ihad decided to try for a job in radio, then work myway up to sports announcer. I hitchhiked to Chicagoand knocked on the door of every station -and got turned down every time.

　　In one studio, a kind lady told me that big stations couldn't risk hiring inexperienced person. "Go out in the sticks and find a small station that'll give you a chance," she said.

　　I thumbed home to Dixon, Illinois. While there was no radio-announcing jobs in Dixon, myfather said Montgomery Ward had opened a store and wanted a local athlete to manage itssports department. Since Dixon was where I had played high school football, I applied. The jobsounded just right for me. But I wasn't hired.

　　My disappointment must have shown. "Everything happens for the best," Mom reminded me. Dad offered me the car to hunt for a job. I tried WOC Radio in Davenport, Iowa. The programdirector, a wonderful Scotsman named Peter MacArthur, told me they had already hired anannouncer.

　　As I left his office, my frustration boiled over. I asked aloud, "How can a fellow get to be asport announcer if he can't get a job in a radio station? "

　　I was waiting for the elevator when I heard MacArthur calling, "What was that you said aboutsports? Do you know anything about football? " Then he stood me before a microphone andasked me to broadcast an imaginary game.

　　On my way home, as I have many times since, I thought of my mother's words: "if you carryon, one day something good will happen. Something wouldn't have happened if not for thatprevious disappointment" I often wonder what direction my life might have taken if I'dgotten the job at Montgomery Ward.

　　Touch me. Don't be afraid. I can't hurt you. Go ahead and touch my smooth surface. Feel the cold, glass-like smoothness and the crevices and lines that make me what I am. Use both hands if you wish. We are more similar than you dare to believe.

　　抚摸我吧。别害怕。我不会伤害你。来吧，抚摸我光滑的皮肤。感觉玻璃般的冰冷与光滑，以及其中的裂缝和刮痕，感受我的存在。如果你愿意请用双手抚摸吧。我们的相似之处将超越你的想象。

　　Touch my face. Yes, I have a face like yours. It has weathered the centuries as yours has the years. My face portrays my evolution. Yours, the birth and death of a generation. My face has aged like yours as we have endured together the testimony of earth's elements.

　　抚摸我的脸。没错，我有着和你一样的面孔。我的脸随着时代的变迁而风化如同你的脸随着岁月的流逝而逐渐苍老。我的脸展示了我的世纪进程。你的, 则描绘了一生的沧桑曲折。当我们一起忍受了尘世中风雨的考验时，脸上也被刻下了岁月的痕迹！

　　I have eyes like yours. My inscriptions stare out at you as I search for the meaning of why we are here. I look into your eyes and see who you are. Who am I? I was formed millions of years past and now you see the results of my evolution.

　　我有着和你一样的眼睛。我的碑铭注视着你，仿佛在寻找生命的意义。让我透过你的双眼看看你是谁。而我又是谁？我已生存了数百年，你看到的是我最终的演变。

　　I can feel your hands and the sweat from your palms flow into the countless combination of the letters that make me. I know you. I have known you since I was able to breathe in the air as my smoothness began to take shape and my color matured along with natural flaws. You have known me since the days when you came to take me from my mother.

　　我可以感觉到你的双手，汗水从手掌流入数不清的碑文的缝隙。我认得你。从我可以呼吸，从我开始成型，从我的色彩在风的侵袭下而越变浓烈时，我就认识你。你也早已认识我，当你带我离开母亲时。

　　You cannot hear me. I am static and unmoving. But, I can hear your murmurs and your cries of pain and sadness. Your sons and daughters ask why? There are no answers. I am very old. I have seen everything and I am none the wiser for the pain and suffering I have witnessed since I rose from the bowels of the earth. I have witnessed the conflict, the death, the civilizations, and the societies that have come before you. Yet I remain mystified about this day.

　　你听不到我的声音，因为我是静止的。但我却听到了你的低声诉语，你的痛苦哀号。你的子女们问“为什么？”这没有答案。我已经老了。我看到了一切，但我承认面对自己所目睹的苦难沧桑我并不是一个智者。我目睹了战争、死亡、人类文明还有人类社会这些曾经你所经历的种种，但我依然困惑不解。

　　I feel sad yet alive with a purpose. I have come to know those who are now an integral part of the reason for my being here at this place and time. That purpose has become apparent as I stand before you on this day while your brethren gather to witness my reflections and the changes of light that mirror your soul.

　　我感到悲伤，却清楚地感受到自己存在的目的。我渐渐了解那些刻在我身上的名字，是他们让我有存在的理由。今天，当你们围聚在我身边，看那些名字在我身上的反射，而光线的变化也折射出你们的灵魂我越发清楚我存在的目的。

　　Motion pictures are most popular not only in the United States, but throughout the world.

　　Although color television and video recording are gaining greater popularity and may be threatening the future of the movies, motion pictures have somewhat managed to cope with the film crisis in the seventies and remain one of the favorite forms of entertainment of the people.

　　There are 11,000 motion picture theaters, or cinema, and about 4,000 outdoor "drive-ins", where people sit in their own automobiles and watch domestic and foreign films. Heavy use of the highways in the United States has resulted in the rapid development of what we call roadside business of various kinds, including outdoor movie theaters, or drive-ins, and motels. Both outdoor drive-ins and motels are usually located on main roads near cities and at seaside and other resort areas.

　　In a drive-in, an enormous screen is put up in an open space, and the cars are all parked facing the screen in long rows. When you have parked, you may open the car window and bring in the instrument that is being handed over to you which gives the sound that accompanies the picture, and perhaps bring in a heater, too. If it is cold, you may well shut the window again, with the sound-reproducing device inside the car, so that you can hear while watching the big screen in front of your car. Drive-in cinemas usually have some kind of cafe in the area, and you can buy Coca-Cola and coffee to drink in the car.

　　The first drive-in was opened on June 6, 1933 in Camden, New Jersey. Newspapers of the period suggested that the automobile movie theater was an immediate success. On the opening night it was jammed to capacity with six hundred cars. The initial advertisement didn't mention the name of the film to be shown that night, and the people didn't care. The real attraction was clearly the theater itself. Since that night, drive-ins have been welcomed by the people across the whole country.

　　The first day of school our professor introduced a little old lady to us.

　　"Why are you in college at such a young age?" I asked later. She jokingly replied, " I'm here to meet a rich husband, get married, have a couple of children, and then retire and travel."

　　"No seriously," I asked. I was curious what may have motivated her to be taking on this challenge at her age. "I always dreamed of having a college education and now I'm getting one!" she told me.

　　We became instant friends. Every day for the next three months we wouldleave class together and tolk nonstop. I was always listening to this "time machine" as she shared her wisdom and experience with me.

　　At the end of the semester we invited Rose to make a speech to our football team. I'll never forget what she taught us. As she began to deliver her prepared speech, she dropped her note card on the floor. A little embarrassed she sim* said, "I'm sorry. This whiskey is killing me! I'll never get my speech back in order so let me just tell you what I know." As we laughed she cleared her throat and began:" We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. There are only four secrets to staying young, being happy, and achieving success. You have to laugh and find humor every day. You've got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die. We have so many people walking around who are dead and don't even know it! There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. If you are nineteen years old and lie in bed for one full year and don't do one productive thing, you will turn twenty years old. Anybody can grow older. That doesn't take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding the opportunity in change.

　　Have no regrets. The elderly usually don't have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we did not do.The only people who fear death are those with regrets."

　　At the year's end Rose finished the college degree. One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep. Over two thousand college students attended her funeral to honor the wonderful woman who taught by example that it's never too late to be all you can possibly be.

　　In the international marathon invitational tournament, the little-known Japanese player yamada has unexpectedly won the world championship. When the reporter asked him why he had achieved such a remarkable feat, he said: "wisdom has triumphed over our opponents."

　　This a yamada explained in his autobiography that he's "wisdom" : every time before the game, I have to drive circuitry of the game, read it carefully and draw more prominent signs of along the way, such as the first signs of a bank; The second sign is a big tree; The third sign is a red house, which is always drawn to the end of the race. After the game started, I raced to the first goal with the speed of 100 meters, and after reaching the first goal, I rushed to the second goal at the same speed. Forty miles of the race, I broke down into a few small goals to easily run out. At first, I did not understand this truth, I put my forty kilometers and aiming at the end of the line of the flag, the result when I ran to 10 kilometers of exhausted, I was in front of the distant journey scares.

　　In real life, we are do things by halves, why, often not because of difficult, but think success is too far away from us, to be exact, we don't give up because of failure, but because of who I am tired and lost.

　　When we were young, we had dreams and expectations. We imagine things; we keep thinking about what we want to be, what we want to do, what makes us proud and happy and what will we become.

　　We grew up, and things seemed like having their own way. We accept our success or failures and we move on. The rapid change, the need to do the urgent things, the works, the pressures and the failures, all kill part of our visions.

　　Things have changed, but they cannot really take away the dreams. We still have to dream on, to visualize our desires, our wants, our vision of our future, even when we are considered too old for such things.

　　Cornell Sanders started his business when he was sixty, and started the whole successful KFC business. The main thing is not the age whether being too old, or too young, but it is the desire to dream on, and the courage to realize it.

　　The ability to dream on is one of the fine qualities of human race that other species do not possess. So dream on, and put a deadline: make it a giant dream, a tiny one, an old everlasting one, a new-found one, a hobby-related one, a change of life one, a religious one, a stupid one, a stroke of genius one, or just whatever... just continue to dream on... Then, Just Go and Do It!

　　The one American industry unaffeted by the general depression of trade is the beauty industry. American women continue to spend on their faces and bodies as much as they spent before the coming of the slump--about three million pounds a week. These facts and figures are 'official', and can be accepted as being substantially true.

　　The modern cult of beauty is not exclusively a function of wealth. If it were, then the personal appearance industries would have been as hit by the trade depression as any other business. But, as we have seen, they have not suffered．Women are retrenching on other things than their faces.

　　Women, it is obvious, are freer than in the past. Freer not only to perform the generally unenviable social functions hithero reserved to the male, but also freer to exercise the more pleasing, feminine privilege of being attractive. The fortunes are made justly by face-cream manufacturers and beauty-specialists, by the sellers of rubber reducing-belts and massage machines, by the patentees of hair-lotions and the authors of books on the culture of the abdomen.

　　It is a success in so far as more women retain their youthful appearance to a greater age than in the past. The Portrait of the Artist's Mother will come to be almost indisinguishable, at future picture shows, from the Portrai of the Artist's Daughter. The success is part due to skin foods and injections of paraffin-wax, facial surgery, mud baths, and paint, and in part due to impoved health. So for some people, the campaign for more beauty is also a compaign for more health. Beauty that is merely the artificial shadow of these symptoms of heslth is intrinsically of poorer quality than the genuine article. Still, it is a sufficiently good imitation to be sometimes mistakable for the real thing. Every middle-in-come preson can afford the cosmetic apparatus and more knowledge of the way in which real herlth can be achieved is being universally aced upon. When that happy moment comes, will every woman be beautiful-as beautiful, at any rate, as the natural shape of her features? The answer is apparent: No,for real beauty is as much an affair of the inner as of the outer self.

　　Everybody has blue days. These are miserable days when you feel lousy, grumpy, lonely, and utterly exhausted. Days when you feel small and insignificant, when everything seems just out of reach. You can’t rise to the occasion. Just getting started seems impossible. On blue days you can become paranoid that everyone is out to get you. This is not always such a bad thing. You feel frustrated and anxious, which can induce a nail-biting frenzy that can escalate into a triple-chocolate-mud-cake-eating frenzy in a blink of an eye! On blue days you feel like you’re floating in an ocean of sadness. You’re about to burst into tears at any moment and you don’t even know why. Ultimately, you feel like you’re wandering through life without purpose. You’re not sure how much longer you can hang on, and you feel like shouting,“Will someone please shoot me!”It doesn’t take much to bring on a blue day. You might just wake up not feeling or looking your best, find some new wrinkles, put on a little weight, or get a huge pimple on your nose. You could forget your date’s name or have an embarrassing photograph published. You might get dumped, divorced, or fired, make a fool of yourself in public, be afflicted with a demeaning nickname, or just have a plain old bad-hair day. Maybe work is a pain in the butt. You’re under major pressure to fill someone else’s shoes, your boss is picking on you, and everyone in the office is driving you crazy. You might have a splitting headache, or a slipped dish, bad breath, a toothache, chronic gas, dry lips, or a nasty ingrown toenail. Whatever the reason, you’re convinced that someone up there doesn’t like you. Oh what to do, what to do?

　　All of us have read thrilling stories in which the hero had only a limited and specified time to live. Sometimes it was as long as a year; sometimes as short as twenty-four hours, but always we

　　were interested in discovering just how the doomed man chose to spend his last days or his last hours. I speak, of course, of free men who have a choice, not condemned criminals whose sphere of activities is strictly delimited.

　　Such stories set up thinking, wondering what we should do under similar circumstances.What events, what experiences,what What associations should we crowd into those last hours as mortal beings? What happiness should we find in reviewing the past, what regrets?

　　Sometimes I have thought it would be an excellent rule to live each day as if we should die tomorrow. Such an attitude would emphasize shar*** the values of life. We should live each day with a gentleness, a vigor, and a keenness of appreciation which are often lost when time stretches before us in the constant panorama of more days and months and years to come. There are those, of course, who would adopt the epicurean motto of “Eat, drink, and be merry,” most people would be chastened by the certainty of impending death.

　　In stories the doomed hero is usually saved at the last minute by some stroke of fortune, but almost always his sense of values is changed. He becomes more appreciative of the meaning of life and its permanent spiritual values. It has often been noted that those who live, or have lived, in the shadow of death bring a mellow sweetness to everything they do.

　　Most of us take life for granted. We know that one day we must die, but usually we picture that day as far in the future, when we are in buoyant health, death is all but unimaginable. We seldom think of it. The days stretch out in an endless vista. So we go about our petty task, hardly aware of our listless attitude towards life.

　　The same lethargy, I am afraid, characterizes the use of our faculties and senses. Only the deaf appreciate hearing, only the blind realize the manifold blessings that lie in sight. Particularly does this observation ap*** to those who have lost sight and hearing in adult life. But those who have never suffered impairment of sight or hearing seldom make the fullest use of these blessed faculties. Their eyes and ears take in all sights and sound hazily, without concentration, and with little appreciation. It is the same old story of not being grateful for what we have until we lose it, as not being conscious of health until we are ill.

　　I have often thought it would be a blessing if each human being were stricken blind and deaf for a few days at some time during his early adult life. Darkness would make him more appreciative of sight; silence would teach him the joys of sound.

　　Both my parents came from towns in Mexico. I was born in El Paso, Texas, and when I was four, my family moved to a housing project in East Los Angeles.

　　Even though we struggled to make ends meet, my parents stressed1) to me and my four brothers and sisters how fortunate we were to live in a great country with limitless opportunities. They imbued2) in us the concepts of family, faith and patriotism.

　　I got my first real job when I was ten. My dad, Benjamin, injured his back working in a

　　cardboard-box factory and was retrained as a hairstylist. He rented space in a little mall and gave his shop the fancy name of Mr. Ben's Coiffure3).

　　The owner of the shopping center gave Dad a discount on his rent for cleaning the parking lot three nights a week, which meant getting up at 3 a.m. To pick up trash, Dad used a little machine that looked like a lawn mower. Mom and I emptied garbage cans and picked up litter4) by hand. It took two to three hours to clean the lot. I'd sleep in the car on the way home.

　　I did this for two years, but the lessons I learned have lasted a lifetime. I acquired5) discipline and a strong work ethic6), and learned at an early age the importance of balancing life's competing interests7) — in my case8), school, homework and a job. This really helped during my senior year of high school, when I worked 40 hours a week flipping9) burgers at a fast-food joint10) while taking a full load of percolate courses.

　　The hard work paid off11). I attended12) the U.S. Military Academy and went on to receive graduate degrees in law and business from Harvard. Later, I joined a big Los Angeles law firm and was elected to the California state assembly. In these jobs and in everything else I've done, I have never forgotten those days in the parking lot. The experience taught me that there is dignity13) in all work and that if people are working to provide for themselves and their families that is something we should honor.

　　我的父母都来自墨西哥的小镇。我出生于得克萨斯州的埃尔帕索城。我四岁时，全家搬到了东洛杉矶的'一处低收入住宅区。

　　尽管我们当时要做到收支*衡都很困难，但父母仍对我和四个兄弟姐妹强调说，能在这样一个充满无限机遇的国家里落户，我们是多么幸运啊！他们给我们灌输了家庭、信仰以及爱国主义的观念。

　　十岁的时候，我得到了人生第一份真正的工作。我的爸爸本杰明在纸箱厂工作时背部受了伤。经过再培训，他成了一名发型师。他在一个规模不大的商业区租下了一个摊位，并给他的店取了个奇妙的名字：“本先生的发型”。

　　商业中心的老板在租金上给爸爸打了个折扣，但条件是每周打扫三次停车场，这意味着凌晨三点就要起床干活。爸爸用一个看起来像除草机的小机器来收捡垃圾，而我和妈妈则要清空垃圾桶并用手拾捡散落的垃圾。打扫这个停车场要用两到三个小时。我总是在回家时的车里就睡着了。 这份工作**了两年，但从中学到的东西却让我受用终生。我学会了自律，建立了很强的职业道德。从小我就懂得了*衡生活中各种利益冲突的重要性——对我而言，就是上学、作业和工作。这在我高二那年真是很有用处。那时，我在一家快餐连锁店制作汉堡包，每周工作四十个小时，同时还肩负着沉重的大学预科课程的学*任务。

　　辛勤的工作终见回报。我考入了美国军事学院，接着又获得了哈佛大学的法律和商业硕士学位。后来，我进入洛杉矶一家著名的律师事务所并被选为加州议会参议员。在做这些工作和其他所有事情的过程中，我从未忘记过在停车场辛勤工作的那些日子。那段经历使我懂得工作无贵贱, 靠自食其力来供养自己和家人就值得人们敬佩。

　　Water is very important for living things. Without water, there must be no life on the earth. All the plants and animals need water to drink, to cook food and to clean ourselves. Water is needed in farms, factories, offices, schools, families and many other places.

　　Water is found in seas, rivers and lakes. It can be found everywhere in the world, and it also can be found in the air.

　　Radio and television are very popular in the world today. Millions of people watch TV. Perhaps more people listen to the radio.

　　The TV is more useful than the radio. On TV we can see and hear what is happening in the world. However, radio isn’t lost. It is still with us. And listeners are becoming more. That’sbecause a transistor radio isn’t lost. It is still with us. It is very easy to carry. You can put one in your pocket and listen to it on the bus or your bike when you go to work.

　　Birds don’t fly high up in the sky. The air is too thin.

　　It is hard for birds to breathe in thin air. Thin air doesn’t hold them up.

　　Birds fly near the ground so that they can see where they are. The birds look for places they know. Then they do not get lost. Some birds fly so low over the ocean that the waves often hide them. Many birds fly a long distance in the spring and autumn.

　　There are many clocks in the Brown’s house. They are in different rooms.A big clock stands in a corner of the sitting room. It is a very, very old clock, but it still keeps good time. Mr. Brown winds it once a week.

　　Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there, they serve some sort of purpose, to teach you a lesson or help figure out who you are or who you want to become. You never know who these people may be - your roommate, neighbor, professor, long lost friend, lover or even a complete stranger who, when you lock eyes with them, you know that very moment that they will affect your life in some profound way.

　　有时，一些人一闯入你的生活你便知道他们本就想这么做，其中有着一定的目的 或给你一个教训，或帮助你明白你是谁或你要成为谁。你永远也不知道这些人会是谁，是你的舍友、邻居、教授、久违的朋友、爱人，甚或是一个完全的陌生人。当你与他们四目相对，你便知道他们会以某种深远的方式影响你的生活。

　　And sometimes things happen to you and at the time they may seem horrible, painful and unfair, but in reflection you realize that without overcoming those obstacles, you would have never realized your potential, strength, will power or heart. Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance or by means of good or bad luck. Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness and sheer stupidity - all occur to test the limits of your soul. Without these small tests, if they be events, illnesses or relationships, life would be like a smoothly paved, straight, flat road to nowhere. Safe and comfortable but dull and utterly pointless.

　　有时，一些事情发生了，它们看上去是那么可怕、痛苦和不公;但细想一下你就会明白，如果没有去努力克服这些难题，你将永远也不会知道自己的潜能、力量、意志力和内心。任何事情的发生都是有原因的，没有一件事是偶然发生的或是因了某种好运或厄运发生的。疾病、伤害、爱、真正的伟大的消逝和完全的愚蠢――所有这一切的发生都是对你的精神极限的考验。不管这考验是一些事件、疾病或是某种关系，没有了它们，生活都将只剩下阳光大道，安稳、舒适，但却单调、没有意义，不会通往任何地方。

　　The people you meet who affect your life and the successes and downfalls you experience - they are the ones who create who you are. Even the bad experiences can be learned from. Those lessons are the hardest and probably the most important ones.

　　你遇到的那些影响你的生活的人和你所经历的成功或失败，都会让你看清自己。即使是不好的经历，也能让你从中得到教训。这些教训是最严酷的，但也可能是最重要的。

　　If someone hurts you, betrays you or breaks your heart, forgive them for they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious to whom you open your heart to. If someone loves you, love them back unconditionally, not only because they love you, but because they are teaching you to love and opening your heart and eyes to things you would have never seen or felt without them.

　　如果有人伤害了你、背叛了你、或让你心碎，原谅他们吧，因为他们帮助你懂得了什么是信任，也让你明白了对那些你敞开心扉交往的人保持谨慎的重要性。如果有人爱你，那么也无条件地爱他们吧，不光因为他们爱你，也因为他们教会了你如何去爱，如何打开心扉、张开眼睛去感受那些没有他们你便不能看到或感受到的世间的种种。

　　Make every day count. Appreciate every moment and take from it everything that you possibly can, for you may never be able to experience it again.

　　让每一天都过得有意义吧。享受生命中的每一刻，尽你所能从中汲取，因为以后你可能没有机会再有同样经历。

　　Talk to people you have never talked to before, and actually listen. Let yourself fall in love, break free and set your sights high. Hold your head up because you have every right to. Tell yourself you are a great individual and believe in yourself, for if you don"t believe in yourself, no one else will believe in you either. You can make of your life anything you wish. Create your own life and then go out and live it.

　　与那些你从没打过招呼的人互相交谈聆听吧，让自己沐浴爱河吧，自由地冲破藩篱，让你的眼界更加高远吧。抬起你的头，因为你有权利这样做。相信自己，告诉自己你很了不起，因为如果连你自己都不相信自己，别人又怎能相信你?你能够按自己的意愿生活。去创造出自己的生活，然后走出来享受生活吧。

　　People are like tea bags - you have to put them in hot water before you know how strong they are.

　　人就像茶叶袋，只有放到热水中，你才能知道他们有多强大。

　　I will never forget my experience at Harbin in this winter,It blows and snows almost every day here.And there is the beautiful light of ice and sculpture of snow both sides of the road.Because it is very cold in this city,so I begin to know the reason why we call it the "city of ice" .But I can't believe that the people who live here like to swim outside in winter.Although they say that it's good for health,I don't think that I will have a try forever.

　　I live in the southern area of China, so the winter here is not as cold as other cities. I have never seen snow in my life, but from TV shows, I can see people playing in the snow. It seems very funny. I like warm weather. I can wear less clothes and go out to take part in some activities. Unlike the cold northern cities, where people trend to stay indoors because of the extreme cold weather. I can enjoy warm sunlight. What's more, I can put on many different styles of clothes and be attractive. In all, winter in southern cities is perfect for me.

　　Autumn passed, and winter came, came to the road, the howl of the north wind howling, roar like a hungry Wolf tore heart crack lung voice, like an enchanting spectacular ballet dancer turned up the shape of the figure.

　　Drumming, atishoo! Hurried footsteps, yet because of the cold and sneezing echoed on the street. Red, white, gray, black, wearing trench coat, coat, woolen sweater to choose a suitable text book people wear thick clothes, curled up the body, under the attacks of the oncoming wind, impassable, they shouted angrily "! The winter is coming."

　　Came before the stream, hand gently on the surface of the water, just touched the water, is the water flushed with bite. At the bottom, hey, where's the teeming with lovely fish? Probably due to the arrival of winter settled down at the bottom. Looked at the empty water and frozen red hand, I can't help but sigh: oh, the winter is coming! Came to a forest, on the gold leaf blanket, I as if there is the picture in your mind: pieces of golden leaves by ruthless winter wind down, and left the shelter of the master, falling to the ground. Achieve its final value, quietly into the soil. I seem to see its don't give up and tears, as if to hear the sigh of: well, the winter is coming. Winter, is always so sad, always so quietly, so quietly go to choose a suitable text book

　　Was this what I had been longing for? Could it be called a bleak winter? I thought I should feel satisfied. Shanghai is still in the south. I couldn't expect more. But there was still some thing in my mind, as it was only one step to my dream. I prayed every day for a snow. A slight one could be enough. Once again.God heard.

　　I live in the south of China, so it‘s not as cold in winter as it is in the north, and I seldom see snow. I almost never saw snow. It was in the winter of 2008 that we had a heavy snow in the south. At that time, I was still young, and now I can’t remember the beautiful scenery of that snow. In short, I can see it on TV and in reality Waiting for the beauty.

　　我喜爱的雾

　　雾是一个调皮的娃娃，谁也抓不住，谁也猜不透;雾是一位温柔恬静的少女，文雅而美丽。

　　早晨，打开窗户一看，呀!窗外好美，白茫茫一片。雾轻悠悠地飘进窗来，一丝丝，一缕缕，一匹匹，不掺任何杂质。似乳白的棉纱，绵长无尽。雾飘在脸上，似一双慈祥而温柔的大手轻轻地抚摩着你，让你感觉好柔，好凉呀!真爽!

　　走进大雾中，仿佛置身一幅绵延不绝的画卷。一眼望出去，雾可真是野心勃勃啊，仿佛要把整个世界吞没了才肯罢手。万里江山全都披上了一层薄纱，河流似乎也没了止境，从这里望不见其尾。呵!还真成了一条名副其实的通天河呢!再看看远处的山峰，大雾遮住了大山的脑袋，给她戴上了一顶白帽儿，好似一位调皮的小孩子在与你藏猫猫呢!远山的灯火似几颗闪着朦胧亮光的星辰，一闪一闪的，又似孩子的眼睛在那里不知疲倦的眨巴。

　　踏在幽径上，一切显得那么静谧，偶尔传来一两声鸟鸣，当你回头看时，鸟呢?却已消失得无影无踪，真会隐身术啊。在这诗情画意里，让人不禁想起“山光悦鸟性，潭影空人心”的佳句来。大雾消散后往往是万里晴空，在我心里，这大雾透着不可猜测的希望，让人无限憧憬。

　　太阳公公终于姗姗来到，大雾在柔和的阳光中悄然隐退，她的质朴、温柔、恬美却留在了我的心里，永远……

　　兰花礼赞

　　是雪花缀满枝头，这般晶莹洁白?是白云在此逗留，如此婀娜多姿?不，她比雪花更圣洁，比白云更端庄——她是盛开的兰花，人间的圣洁之花。兰，以其清香淡雅博得了人们青睐，不仅历代丹青妙手为之泼墨挥毫，更是骚人墨客吟咏的对象。

　　如果说水仙是花中的“凌波仙子”，那么兰花一定是“花中的皇后”了。娇柔的花瓣，优美的身型，纯白的纱衣，构成了一朵圣洁的而又美丽的兰花。她和国色天香的牡丹一样奔放，又如凌胶仙子一样飘逸，比荷花更出淤污泥而不染。然而，天意弄人，好景不长。兰花只能给人们仅仅几天的观赏就凋谢了。一霎那的美与香，常引起人们的怜香，而她的神韵依然存在人们的脑海里，更镌刻在人们心间。

　　兰，在冷雨中挺立，在寒风中怒放，不与百花争宠，只是默默地为世界增添一丝丝光彩;兰花之香，清幽淡雅，不会让人感到高不可攀，是沁人的香，亲切的香，叫人怜爱的香。你说，这醉人的花香，怎能不叫人为之倾倒，为之着迷?怎能不叫人去怜爱它，为之赞美一番?

　　兰，无论高缀枝头，还是飘落在地，始终保持一尘不染的品格。即使埋入泥土，也是片芳心，洁白无瑕。她以高尚的自身形象，启示人们制定的生活准则。这一切，使我不禁想起了我国千万个让贤的老干部，他们为了培养接班人，使祖国突现现代化，自己甘愿退居二线。这种可贵精神正是兰花的真实写照--雅素，朴实无华，默默奉献。

　　人的生命之花，也和大自然的花朵一样色彩繁多，姿态各一。如果长久开放的生命之花会被污泥沾染，那我愿为仅开一天的纯洁的花。人虽不能都成为具有伟大功绩的英雄，却都应该并且能够像兰花一样高尚朴实，圣洁无邪。为了装扮出人间美好的仙境，即使遭受风雨摧残，“零落成泥辗作尘”，也会给人们留下“香如故”。

　　兰花，是高洁的，而且具有兰花精神的人也是高洁的，因为他们都有一颗奉献的心，一颗无私奉献的心，不成任何索取的心。

　　我爱兰花……

　　阳光再次斜斜地照进我的房间，染了一屋璀璨的金。我却并不想拉上窗帘，因为我最喜欢初冬早晨明媚的阳光。

　　金色璀璨在我手中翻开的书上，充满了童话的色彩，像是久阴之后重见阳光般的喜悦跳动在我的心中，像生命最初的色彩。喜悦，因为能够感受到这生命的美丽颜色与无尽的温暖；感谢，因为上帝赐予我能与这阳光同行的灵魂和能够感受到这温暖的健康身体。或许，生命本就是由阳光创造出来的精灵，仅仅是顽皮的逃脱了，现在，又想着重归于阳光，再次跑到其它世界去玩耍吧。

　　冬日的阳光很温暖，明亮而不刺眼，和煦而不柔弱，温暖而不张狂。在冬日早晨的楼顶晒太阳，很舒适，很安逸。

　　常在学校的楼门前晒清晨的阳光，因此总结出一个规律：上午第一节课后和第二节课间的阳光是最温暖舒适的。不像刚入秋的太阳，很早就热起来了。那些枯萎的树叶、花瓣，本无比凄苦，竟在冬日的暖阳中变得焕然一新了。那些飘落的红叶仿佛也有了生气，像是要舞成一片火红的海一样。微垂的菊花也如向日葵般的扬了些头，害羞地红了脸。校门口的水杉树长着细细碎碎的叶儿放进一地的碎金，又不知足似的还想捡拾，拾了这块又丢了那块，只得带着淡淡的失望停下来了。校外高大的梧桐叶和着金色的阳光在风中荡落，轻轻地落在地上、屋顶上、人们的身上，画出一地的梦幻。

　　下了一两场大雪，城市便被雪花哄睡了，整个被包裹在白色的襁褓里。雪止了，阳光透过云层跳下来，在洁白的雪被上跑来跑去，丝毫不怕惊醒了刚睡着的城市，雪中的阳光更晶亮了，更活泼了，也更可爱了。

　　一直想看看太阳雪，不知是有没有。但我想，若是有的话，那一定是世界上最美丽的景象。雪的精灵与阳光的孩子一同举办盛大的舞会，从空中跳到地上，铺出一地的白，一地的金。那时，我一定也会参加的。

　　秋天到啦，树叶落啦，花儿也谢了啦……

　　我走出家门，只见门前两棵枫树在风中耸立，但它们的叶子已经受不住寒风的吹打，纷纷落下，只剩几片在顽强地抵挡着寒风，摇摇摆摆。我低下头，弯下腰，捡起了一片枫叶，它并没有像书上说的那么火红，那么妖艳，而是带有些一般叶子枯萎时的暗黄色。但，并没有影响它的美丽，反而还带来了一种别样的风情。

　　我拿着那片枫叶，在微风中极速地奔跑着，不知不觉，我已置身于一大片枫树林里，火红的枫叶在我身边飞舞，微风徐徐，拂着我的脸庞，一片落叶悄然无声地落在我的手上。

　　这片枫叶与刚才那片截然不同，它并没有像枯萎时的那样干燥，相反的，还有些红润。好似别人有意摘下来的一样，但，上面并没有损伤的痕迹。

　　我缓缓地走在厚厚的枫叶上，枫叶如丝绸般柔滑。

　　在被枫叶覆盖的树林里，微风吹着，我的思绪在风中飘荡。

　　我捧起了一堆枫叶，往天上一撒，那火红的枫叶就如同一只只蝴蝶，围绕在我的身旁。

　　我爱秋天，爱秋天的叶，更爱秋天那火红的枫叶。

　　坐在窗前，一遍遍背着英语句子，望窗外绿草青青，白云悠悠，好一幅怡然自得的风景画！但我的心思可不在这里，继续背着……不知过了多长时间，我抬起头，深吸一口气，心想看看外面吧，就在呼吸的那瞬间，一股久违的香气扑鼻而来。“好香呀！”“哦，是楼下的桂花香”，我不禁贪婪地呼吸起来。

　　晚饭后，我不禁走*那棵桂花树，淡淡的清香也渐渐的浓密起来了，这棵桂花树并不算很大，可是却散发出这样浓的花香。一枝枝树杆上长了浓密的叶子，有些害羞的花儿长在树叶的遮蔽处，若隐若现，好像在和我玩起了捉迷藏。每一朵桂花，都是由和四片花瓣组成的，在花瓣的里面有两颗棕灰色的花蕊，好似花朵的两只眼睛。一根花茎像桂花的脖子似的，这一朵桂花不就是一位天真活泼的孩子，正在伸出脖子睁大眼睛吗？那四片花瓣似一只只蝴蝶。多么可爱的花骨朵儿是那么的让人觉得充满生机。特别是它那淡淡的清香，使人百闻不厌，几乎弥漫了整个秋天的空气中，那一股股沁人心脾的香味，都快把人给薰醉了。

　　风轻轻拂过，一阵阵熟悉的香味都把我包围了！我喜欢桂花，尽管它总是把自己藏的好好的，但是它的香味真无法让我无视它的存在。瞬间，我隐身陶醉在了桂花的“香海”里……

After several years, however, the boss promoted Bobby to theposotion of manager but John remained an ordinary employee. John could not take it anymore, tendered his resignation to the boss and complained the boss did not know how to delegate and did not value hard working staff, but only promoted those who flattered him.

　　The boss knew that John worked very hard for the years. He thought a moment and said, "Thank you for your criticism, but I have a request. I hope you will do one more thing for our company before you leave. Perhaps you will change your decision and take back your resignation."

　　老板知道这几年约翰工作确实很努力。他想了一会儿说：“谢谢你对我的批评。但是我只有一个请求，我希望在你离开之前再为公司做一件事情。或许到时你会改变决定，收回辞呈。”

　　John agreed. The boss asked him to go and find out anyone selling watermelon in the market. John went and returned soon. He said he had found out a man selling watermelon.

　　My dear friends, a more successful person is more observant, thinks more and explores in depth. Chances exists in the daily details. For the same matter, a more successful person sees more and farther so that he can find out an opportunity and catch it to realize his aim. If a person sees one year ahead, while another sees only tomorrow. The difference between a year and a day is 365times, how could you win?

　　The significant inscription found on an old key---“If I rest, I rust”---would be an excellent motto for those who are afflicted with the slightest bit of idleness. Even the most industrious person might adopt it with advantage to serve as a reminder that, if one allows his faculties to rest, like the iron in the unused key, they will soon show signs of rust and, ultimately, cannot do the work required of them.

　　Those who would attain the heights reached and kept by great men must keep their faculties polished by constant use, so that they may unlock the doors of knowledge, the gate that guard the entrances to the professions, to science, art, literature, agriculture---every department of human endeavor.

　　Industry keeps bright the key that opens the treasury of achievement. If Hugh Miller, after toiling all day in a quarry, had devoted his evenings to rest and recreation, he would never have become a famous geologist. The celebrated mathematician, Edmund Stone, would never have published a mathematical dictionary, never have found the key to science of mathematics, if he had given his spare moments to idleness, had the little Scotch lad, Ferguson, allowed the busy brain to go to sleep while he tended sheep on the hillside instead of calculating the position of the stars by a string of beads, he would never have become a famous astronomer.

　　Labor vanquishes all---not inconstant, spasmodic, or ill-directed labor; but faithful, unremitting, daily effort toward a well-directed purpose. Just as truly as eternal vigilance is the price of liberty, so is eternal industry the price of noble and enduring success.

　　译文翻译：

　　如果我休息，我就会生锈

　　在一把旧钥匙上发现了一则意义深远的铭文——如果我休息，我就会生锈。对于那些懒散而烦恼的人来说，这将是至理名言。甚至最为勤勉的人也以此作为警示：如果一个人有才能而不用，就像废弃钥匙上的铁一样，这些才能就会很快生锈，并最终无法完成安排给自己的工作。

　　有些人想取得伟人所获得并保持的成就，他们就必须不断运用自身才能，以便开启知识的大门，即那些通往人类努力探求的各个领域的大门，这些领域包括各种职业：科学，艺术，文学，农业等。

　　勤奋使开启成功宝库的钥匙保持光亮。如果休米勒在采石场劳作一天后，晚上的时光用来休息消遣的话，他就不会成为名垂青史的地质学家。著名数学家关爱德蒙斯通如果闲暇时无所事事，就不会出版数学词典，也不会发现开启数学之门的钥匙。如果苏格兰青年弗格森在山坡上放羊时，让他那思维活跃的大脑处于休息状态，而不是借助一串珠子计算星星的位置，他就不会成为著名的天文学家。

　　劳动征服一切。这里所指的劳动不是断断续续的，间歇性的或方向偏差的劳动，而是坚定的，不懈的，方向正确的每日劳动。正如要想拥有自由就要时刻保持警惕一样，要想取得伟大的，持久的成功，就必须坚持不懈地努力。

　　Unfortunately, they are infected, and now has been isolated, they can not see their loved ones, they have lost freedom, they are very painful, very unwilling. So let us give them the courage to give them strength! Let us wish them a speedy recovery!

　　H1N1流感，自从这个魔爪伸进地球，伸进我们的世界就引起了极大的轰动。从莫斯科，美国，学*英语的网站，日本……到我们中国，无一幸免，可见其传播速度之快。虽然我们利用我们己有的医学技术，可以预防，可以根治，但是却还是令人恐慌。最可笑的是，有人因此而不吃猪肉。然而，这些都不是我关注的焦点，令我关注的，令我伤心的是：

　　当我们国家的第一个被传染者被发现时，就是那个从国外回来的四川人，我听到的大部分都是大家的苛责，这令我异常难过。原本从国外回来，是件好事，是间喜事。却因为连自己也不知道被传染的事搅的得一塌糊涂，成了件悲事。原本我想我们应该为他难过，应该去帮助他。然而，很多人却说：“在国外就不要回来嘛!”“还搞的我们人心惶惶的。”……

　　所以我写这篇，学英语的好网站，想呼吁大家，一起为他们加油。

　　他们不幸感染上了，现在被隔离，他们不能见到自己的亲人，好的英语学*网站，他们失去了自由，他们也很痛苦，很不甘。所以让我们给他们勇气，给他们力量!让我们一起祝愿他们早日康复!

　　You cannot change the laws of physics ... but could physics actually enable us to travel through time?

　　It might sound crazy, but according to Einstein‘s theories, there‘s no logical reason why time travel isn‘t possible.

　　Time travel is clearly a trickier proposition than space travel,though. And prior to Einstein, it would have been deemed utterly impossible！ That‘s because the old idea about time was that it was like a cosmic metronome keeping a regular and constant beat throughout the universe. And it was thought to move in one direction only .

　　However, what physicists now know is that time is rather more flexible than the old “ Clockwork Universe” ideas they had it. And it was Albert Einstein who set the cat among the pigeons.

　　Einstein‘s theories about time and space were revolutionary. He became a celebrity--and not just in scientific circles. It‘s only since he published his theories that scientists have been able to demonstrate that space and time really behave the way he said they did.

　　In 1971, after Einstein‘s death, two scientists were able to carry out a crucial experiment. They used two atomic clocks, synchronized them, and placed one on a plane, while the other stayed in the same location on Earth. The plane then flew around the world for 80 hours. According to Einstein‘s theory, the clock on the plane would be expected to have lost time, due to being in motion over 80 hours compared to the clock on the ground. When they brought the clocks together and made a comparison, the clock on the plane was indeed a few nanoseconds slower than the other clock. The experiment was replicated in 1996 with advanced technology, and it was proved again--with an even bigger time difference this time. Which proves that not only is time “ warp-able” , but Einstein was arguably the greatest thinker the world has ever seen.

　　If it were possible, however, it would present some pretty knotty paradoxes... For example, what if someone or something traveled back in time and changed the ensuing future? And have you heard the one about the time traveller who dots back and forward in time and by means of various medical technologies is able to be his own father AND mother?! And besides, if time travel is possible, where are all the people from the future--surely they‘d want to come and meet us poor stranded 21st century beings?

　　I think that,from a biological standpoint,human lifealmost reads like a poem.It has its own rhythm andbeat,its internal cycles of growth and decay.Itbegins with innocent childhood,followed byawkward adolescence trying awkwardly to adaptitself to mature society,with its young passions andfollies, its ideals and ambitions;then it reaches amanhood of intenseactivities, profiting from experience and learning more about society and human nature; at middle age, there is a slighteasing of tension,a mellowing of character like the ripening of fruit or the mellowing of goodwine,and the gradual acquiring of a more tolerant, more cynical and at the same time akindlier view of life;then in the sunset of our life, the endocrine glands decrease theiractivity,and if we have a true philosophy of old age and have ordered our life pattern accordingto it,it is for us the age of peace and security and leisure and contentment;finally, life flickersout and one goes into eternal sleep, never to wake up again.One should be able to sense thebeauty of thisrhythm of life, to appreciate, as we do in grand symphonies, its main theme,itsstrains of conflict and the final resolution.

　　The movements of these cycles are very much the same in a normal life, but the music must beprovided by the individual himself.In some souls, the discordant note becomes harsher andharsher and finally overwhelms or submerges the main melody.Sometimes the discordantnote gains so much power that the music can no longer go on, and the individual shoots himselfwith a pistol or jumps into a river.But that is because his original leitmotif has beenhopelessly over shadowed through the lack of a good self education. Otherwise the normalhuman life runs to its normal end in a kind of dignified movement and procession.

　　No one can say that a life with childhood, manhood and old age is not a beautifularrangement; the day hasits morning, noon and sunset, and the year has its seasons, and it isgood that it is so. There is no goodor bad in life, except what is good according to its ownseason.And if we take this biological view of life and try to live according to the seasons, no onebut a conceited fool or an impossible idealist can denythat human life can be lived like apoem.

　　我想，从生物学的观点来说，人生品味起来就像一首诗。它有其自身的韵律和节拍,有其生老病死的内在循环过程。它以天真烂漫的童年为序曲；接着便是青涩的青舂期，带着青年人的热情和愚蠢、理想和抱负，羞涩、惽懂地迈向**的世界；然后便进入一个活力充沛的成年时期，这个时期人们从阅历中获益，对社会及人性也有了更多了解;到中年之时，压力才稍为减轻，人的性格就像熟透的水果或醇厚的美酒一般，更为圆熟，这时候，对人生的态度也逐渐变得更宽容、更随性、更仁慈。此后，便到了我们的迟暮之年，内分泌腺的活动逐渐趋缓。如果我们对年老持一种真正的达观态度，并以此来安排我们的生活方式,那么，这个时期对我们来说，就是安宁、稳定、闲逸和满足的时期；最终,生命的火光摇曳不定，之后人将永远地长眠，不再醒来。人应该能够体会这种人生之韵的美，应该能够像欣赏盛大的交响乐那样，去欣赏人生的主旋律，欣赏它的冲突片断和最后的尾声。

　　这些循环过程的运动在每个常人的生命中并无二至，但是生命的乐曲须由我们每个人自己来谱写。在有些人的灵魂之中，不和谐的音符变得愈加刺耳，到最后完全盖过或是湮没了生命的主旋律。有时候，这种不和谐的音符会如此强大以至于生命的乐曲不能继续演奏，而使人饮弹自尽或者投河而亡。但男陽由于缺乏良好的自我修养，人最初的主旋律就已投上了无望的阴影。否则，一个正常人的生活会以一种尊贵的方式演进而最后得以正常结束。

　　没有人能够说，由童年、成年和老年组成的人生不是一种完美的安排; 就像一天有早晨、中午和晚上，一年有四季，如此存在就是美好的。人生并没有好坏之分，只要符合我们所处的阶段， 生活就都是人生的大好时光。而如果我们采纳这种看待人生的生物学观点，并且，尽量依照不同的阶段来生活，那么，除了狂妄自大的蠢人或不可理喻的理想主义者之外，没有人能够否认：人生可以活得像一首诗。

初中晨读英语美文 (菁华5篇)（扩展8）

——早晨读书作文(5)份

　　今天是星期二。我早上会读英语，我会带。

　　一开始，我站在讲台上，让全班同学拿出英语书。但是他们一个个不听我的，在干别的。我觉得我一个人做不到。我得找个助手帮我。我想了想，又看了看同学，决定选陈蓬莱做我的助理。因为老师说如果我有事要做，陈鹏会代替我在早上带领大家阅读，所以我认为除了我之外，英语读得好的人应该是陈鹏。

　　我问陈鹏是否愿意做我的助手，他欣然同意了。

　　我们都叫同学把书拿出来，他们还是不听。我气得用书拍了一下讲台，连书都快碎了。只有几个人拿出书来看。其他很多人还是不听话。看到早读时间快到了，怕值班的同学看到我们班这么乱就丢分，只好想别的办法了。我想啊想啊想，突然用脑了，想出了一个方法思路。

　　我很认真的对同学说：“你不把书拿出来和我们一起读，你不听，我就把你的名字写下来，告诉李先生。到时候你就不和我们一起读了，而是去找李先生。还有，那些不听话的，下次早上读英语的时候，我会专门给你们这些人读。”

　　学生们听的时候，都很害怕。他们拿出书跟着我们。不过还有少数人特别不听话。我别无选择，只能写下他们的名字。到时候你就吃亏了。让我们看看李先生能为你做些什么！

　　嗨！终于抓到这些人了。原来当老师这么辛苦！

　　晨读是一种享受，是一种境界。

　　爱晨读，因为它的静谧。清晨里，早早地起床，然后推开门窗，清新畅快的空气充满鼻腔，让人忍不住想去读书。任那晨间的静谧感与舒畅感荡漾在心间，我速去洗漱一番，再去书架上拿一本称心的书，坐在窗前或是公园的花间，好好享受这美好安静的时刻。闻着花香，听着流水，果然一会儿便进入书的世界里。安静的气氛一会儿便被鸟鸣声打破，我从知识的海洋中回过神来，望望四周，多么盼望明日这安静时刻的到来。

　　爱晨读，因为它的气势，当你在清晨起身，立于高处，看见旭日初升，看见太阳从地*线上缓慢升高。这时，拿一本书站在那里，朗声读起，配合着那宏伟的气势，这是极为让人难忘的，更是带着荣誉感和成就感的。当你念至高潮，不禁升起一丝激动，就如同交响乐的音符跳动到至高点时，为这美好的艺术所痴迷。这时，那红日也随之冲破云层，照耀人间，唤起世人劳作。

　　爱晨读，因为它的境界，晨间是最容易让人迷失的，它的朦胧，它的清雅，它的豪放，都让人为之振奋，而晨间的阅读，不仅能定人心境，还能锻炼意志。

　　晨读，吾爱之有加，因其静、因其势、因其境，即它的静谧、气势与境界。晨读，在享受中获取知识，静心感知世界。我爱晨读，愿在有生之年的每一个清晨读书！

　　俗话说得好：“一年之际在于春，一日之际在于晨。”这无疑是说最美好的时

　　光在于一年之春，一日之晨。晨读、晨读，就是在早晨这个最美好的时光阅读、

　　记忆……

　　——题记

　　早晨，我走进校园。迎面拂来阵阵清风，使人神清气爽。不一会儿，又到了晨读时间，虽然有人惨叫，有人晕倒，有人偷笑，有人“死”掉，但他们都恋恋不舍地回“阵地”“战斗”。晨读开始了，我们大声朗读起来。

　　侧耳倾听，隔壁班也发出响亮的声音来配合我们的“独奏”。过了一会儿，楼下的班级也赶来“伴奏”了。再过一会儿，整栋楼的班级来“合奏”了。又过了一会儿，全校的班级都来演奏了。顿时，书声琅琅被融合成了一首协奏曲。那和谐的曲调，震动着人们的心扉；那激昂的旋律，沁透了人们的心脾；那时快时慢的节奏，彻底地融入了人们的心里……

　　遥首相望，窗外的小草随着曲调舞动。过了一会儿，微风来助阵了，发出细细的声音：再过一会儿，小鸟来帮忙了，边飞边唧唧喳喳地叫，是古典的“曲子”有了主唱；又过一会儿，小树来也来助阵了，树叶哗哗地的声音来配合。刹时，一首柔和的合奏曲变成了和谐的山水画！那温柔的曲调，冲击着人们的视觉；那动听的曲调，冲击着人们的听觉；那永恒的旋律，将永远停在人们心间！

　　晨读，怎个美妙了得？

　　“一年之计在于春，一日之计在于晨”。早晨，是一天之中最重要的黄金时段，作为“职业书虫”的我，把早晨这个黄金时段，作为我一天读书之旅的开始。早上是人记忆力最强的时间，在早上读书，这是一个非常明智的选择。

　　我喜欢在早上大声地读书，这让我有一种身临其境的感觉，仿佛置身于作者笔下，畅游于作者构写的意境之中……正是因为晨读的乐趣无穷，所以我爱上了晨读，自然是有百利而无一害，晨读让我受益匪浅。

　　伴随着我朗朗的读书声，美好的一天开始了。早晨的确是人记忆力最强的时间段，正因如此，每天早上的晨读不但使我记住了许多东西，还令我的记忆力增强，更让我磨炼了自己的意志。

　　晨读，是一件挑战人恒心与毅力的事情，早上正沉迷于梦乡，就得和温暖的被窝“告别”，特别是冬天，更是一种挑战。晨读，它会使我们受到瞌睡虫的“攻击”，从而上午可能会疲惫不堪，不过，坚持下来，可以调整“生物钟”，不但让自己免受瞌睡虫的困扰，对学*的裨益无穷，更可以锻炼自己的毅力。当你真正地体会到晨读的乐趣之后，便会对那些挫折不屑一顾，因为晨读会使我们的心灵得到一种升华！

　　还是那句话：一年之计在于春，一日之计在于晨。早晨这个黄金时段我们一定要有效地利用起来，从现在开始努力。

　　读书是我们努力学*的第一步，晨读是我们为这第一步打下的基础，我们要从现在开始努力，养成良好的晨读*惯，为我们美好的未来打下扎实的基础！

　　昨天上午第一节课，重点指导孩子对这篇课文的朗读，我把课文中的一些语句的朗读权力放给了孩子们，不是我教给他们怎么读，而是让他们认为这些语句你应该怎么读！在《语文新课程标准》中讲到“尊重学生的阅读体验”！是呀，从低年级就应该开始训练学生的独特的阅读感受！因此，在这节课我就试着做了，结果让我收到了一份喜悦！

　　如：“铺满新绿的草原醒来了。”我引导：“你读了这句话，会看到什么，听到什么？你该怎样读？”有的学生说：“我看到美丽的花儿醒了！”有的说：“草儿也醒了，伸了伸懒腰！”有的说：“我听见羊咩咩地叫了！”“是呀，那你就读读你眼中刚醒来的草原吧！”孩子们自然把“醒来了”读得各有各的特色！

　　有了上面的例子，当读这一句时“一只只羊儿涌出了圈门，蹦跳着奔向无边的草原”时，孩子们好象知道该怎么读了，我说，当你读这句话时，就把你看到的，感受到读出来就行，练了一会，他们读得还令我满意，（包括中下生）问起他们为什么这样读时，他们兴奋极了，“我看见羊都往外挤，咩咩地叫，我知道小羊高兴，就这样读了！”“我看见大草原了，小羊撒欢往外跑！”几个学生说完，真的象小羊一样，挤出教室门外，嘴里还咩咩地叫着！

　　剩下的内容孩子们自己就这样解决了，我也上得很轻松，再不象以前那样这样引导，那样引导，最后还气得你半死，总还觉得他们没读到位！
