A Million Dollar Lesson
价值百万美元的一课
A cab driver taught me a million dollar lesson on customer satisfaction and expectation.
一位出租车司机给我上了一堂价值百万美元的课——关于顾客的满意度与期望值。
Motivational speakers charge thousands of dollars to impart his kind of training to corporate executives and staff. It cost me a $12 taxi ride.

I had flown into Dallas for the sole purpose of calling on a client. Time was of the essence and my plan included a quick turnaround trip from and back to the airport. A spotless cab pulled up.
我飞来达拉斯只是为了 拜访 一位客户。时间就是生命，我计划拜访他之后急速返回机场。一辆一尘不染的出租车停了下来。
The driver rushed to open the passenger door for me and made sure I was comfortably seated before he closed the door. As he got in the driver's seat, he mentioned that the neatly folded Wall Street Journal next to me was for my use. He then showed me several tapes and asked me what type of music I would enjoy.
司机迅速下车为我打开客座车门，等我舒服地坐好后才把车门关上。在驾驶座上坐定之后，他告诉我，放在我旁边的那份叠得整齐的《华尔街日报》是供我翻阅的。然后，他又将几盒磁带递给我，问我喜欢什么样的音乐。
Well! I looked around for "Candid Camera!" Wouldn't you? I could not believe the service I was receiving! I took the opportunity to say, "Obviously you take great pride in your work. You must have a story to tell
噢!我环顾四周，看偷拍相机藏在哪里!如果你遇到这样的情形，恐怕你也会这样做!我简直不敢相信有这等服务!我趁机说：“看得出你为自己的工作感到非常自豪，这其中一定有 故事 吧。”
You bet, he replied, "I used to be in Corporate America. But I got tired of thinking my best would never be good enough. I decided to find my niche in life where I could feel proud of being the best I could be. ”
“没错，”他回答道，“我以前曾在一家大公司上班，但是无论怎么努力也达不到别人的要求，我厌倦了这种生活。于是，我决定为我的人生开创属于自己的一片新天地，在那里我能做到最好，并为此感到自豪。
I knew I would never be a rocket scientist, but I love driving cars, being of service and feeling like I have done a full day's work and done it well. I evaluated my personal assets and... wham! I became a cab driver.
“我知道成不了火箭专家，但我喜欢开车，喜欢为他人服务，喜欢完成了一天的工作并且干得出色的那种感觉。我算了下我手头的资产。。。嗯，然后，我开上了出租车。”
One thing I know for sure, to be good in my business I could simply meet the expectations of my passengers. But, to be great in my business, I have to exceed the customer's expectations! I like both the sound and the return of being 'great' better than just getting by on 'average'.
“有一件事我深信不疑，想在这个行当中做得好，只要满足乘客的期望就行了。而要想干得很好，我就必须超出顾客的期望!我不满足于仅仅以一般服务打发日子，我喜欢顾客对我优质服务的赞誉和因此得到的回报。”

The Blessing Tree
祈愿树
I had gone into a supervisor's office to talk about a couple of issues that needed to be addressed. She, like all of the men and women in her department, had been through the proverbial "ringer." The stress was so intense, one could almost taste it.
我走进一位主管的办公室，和她讨论一些需要处理的事情。所有在这个部门工作的人，都像俗语所说的“被上了套”，她也不例外。他们所承受的压力之大，让人体会得到。
I had been assisting the department during a crunch period of being very short-handed, and was watching everyone get close to burn-out. When I inquired about her state of mind, she confessed that her home life was almost non-existant, because she was "zombieing through the evening". The next words out of her mouth expressed a frustration of my own: "This work is not my gift from God. My family is!"
我在这个部门人手不足的危急时刻来这儿帮忙，亲眼目睹了每个人都接近于精疲力竭的状态。当我问及她的精神状态时，她坦言自己几乎没有家庭生活，每天早晨醒来，她都像一具经过夜晚起死回生的行尸走肉。她接下来说的话也是我在受挫时想说的：“这份工作不是上帝给我的礼物。我的家庭才是!”
I had heard of hanging all of one's problems from the office on a "Trouble Tree" while driving home, to be picked up on the way back to the office in the morning, and for a brief second thought about suggesting that scenario.
我曾经听说过在下班开车回家之前把一个人在办公室遇到的所有难题都挂在一个“烦恼树”上，第二天早晨上班时再把它们拿下来。我思考片刻，想告诉她这个办法。
But what came out was: "Why don't we do something different? Let's have a Blessing Tree. On the way home in the evening, we could pull down a blessing to dwell on a character trait we adore in our spouse, a particular reason we love them, the love they or our children have for us. The list could be endless."
但是我说出口的是：“我们为什么不能做点与众不同的事呢?让我们种一颗‘祈愿树’，每天晚上回家之前获得一个愿望，祈求我们的爱人拥有我们所喜欢的性格特征，祈求我们因为某个特殊的理由爱他们，祈求我们的爱人和孩子对我们的爱。肯定有列不完的东西。”
When I tried it on the way home that night, the stress seemed to melt away. There was a "spring in my step" and when I arrived, a smile of joy and contentment was bubbling up from within! For the first time in 2 weeks, I was overjoyed to greet my wife and children!
那天晚上我走在回家的路上，压力好像消失了。我的步伐似乎也轻快起来，当我回到家时，我脸上浮起了微笑，这微笑源自内心的喜悦和满足。两个星期以来，我第一次为和妻子、孩子打招呼而感到由衷的高兴。
The Blessing Tree could make a major difference in your evenings, especially after those really tough days.
祈愿树使你的夜晚和以前截然不同，尤其是在那些艰难的日子之后。

改革开放三十多年以来,英语教育在我国已经广为普及,整个社会对英语的要求也愈加精益求精。本文是有关经典英文小短文，希望对大家有帮助!
On warm evenings I often sat in the boat playing the flute, and saw the perch swimming around me. I saw the moon traveling over the bottom of the lake, which was strewn1 with the fallen leaves and branches.
天气晴和的夜晚,我也常独驾一舟,弄笛湖上,看水中的鲈鱼饶舟不去。俯视湖底,落木坠枝,横斜交错,皓月一轮,行径其上。
Once, I used to come to this pond in dark summer nights with a friend. We would make a fire there, which we thought attracted the fishes. Late in the night, we threw the burning firewood high into the air, which, when it came down into the pond, went out with a loud hissing. And we were suddenly in total darkness. Then, whistling a tune, we made our way to the village again. But now I had made my home by the shore.
以前,在那些深黝的夏日夜晚,我曾不止一次与友人寻胜至此。我们总是先在岸边燃起一堆篝火,我们认为此法最能把鱼招来。待到夜色渐深,我们便把那尚未燃尽的木柴像烟火似地抛入暗空,一阵闪亮之后,缀湖澌灭,嗤然有声。然后长啸一曲,摸黑寻回村落。不过我最近索性就迁居到那里,傍湖而居了。
Sometimes, after the family had all gone to bed, I returned to the woods. Partly for the next day’s dinner, I spent the hours of midnight fishing from a boat by moonlight. At this time, I heard owls and foxes serenade, along with the singing of some unknown birds. These experiences were very memorable and valuable to me. In the center of the water, there were sometimes thousands of small perch and shiners, breaking the surface with their tails. I sometimes threw a line into the pond as I drifted in the gentle night breeze, now and then feeling a slight shaking along it. Pulling the line out of the pond, I saw a perch wriggling in the air.(excerpt)
有时,待家人睡去,我又重新返回林中。半为明日的食物筹措,我于夜半自操一舟,趁着月色,独钓湖上。这时鸱鸣狐啸,伴着一两声怪鸟的戛鸣。回想这些夜游,至今历历难忘。在水中央,鲈鱼银鱼成群,不啻千百,翻舞嬉戏,不时在湖面翻起层层涟漪。有时,于夜风习习之中,我将钓丝投入湖里,但不时忽觉手下一丝微颤。轻轻将线一扯,只见一只鲈鱼在半空中活蹦乱跳。(节选)
Life is full of decisions and most people take their lifetime to master the ability to make one.
生活中,许多事情需要我们做出决定,因此,许多人用一生的时间去学习掌握做决定的能力。
Each of us makes decisions daily, such as what clothes to wear, what to eat, and what to drink. We’re all excellent at judging other people’s decisions. But what about our own decisions? What about the decisions each of us makes, such as going to college, quitting college, quitting a job for another one and so on? These are life-defining moments that create two different life paths. None of these decisions should be taken lightly.
每个人每天都要做决定,如决定穿什么、吃什么、喝什么。我们都擅长判断别人的决定,但你擅长判断自己的决定吗?我们自己做的决定怎么样?如上学、退学、辞职另谋新生等等。这些都是对人生有界定意义、会创造两种不同人生道路的时刻,每一个都不能怠慢。
Although we are all skillful at judging others, we should spend some time to get comfortable with ourselves to make decisions without the fear of judgment. Judgment comes from insecurity3. Each insecurity that we have moves us further and further to make a good decision. In order to control our insecurities we need to identify them and be comfortable with ourselves. To accomplish that we can all use some help. You may get it from a friend or a family member.
即使擅长判断别人的决定,我们也应该花些时间让自己应付自如地做决定,而且不必害怕做出判断。判断力来自于不安全感。我们的每一个不安全感都会推动我们去做出正确的决定。为了控制我们的不安全感,我们需要辨别它们,让自己能无所顾忌。为了达到这个目标,我们可以寻求别人的帮助。你可以从朋友或者家人那里得到你需要的帮助。
The best part about decision-making is that there is no right or wrong answer. Decisions are choices, and choices are individual. Try to put some more effort into your own decisions and leave the judgment at the door.
关于做决定,其最美好之处在于答案没有对错之分。做决定是种抉择,而且抉择是仁者见仁、智者见智。尽力做出自己的选择,不必介意你的选择是对或是错。
Perhaps your idea is a business venture, a travel adventure, or a career that you would like to pursue. When you get an idea that excites you, don’t push the idea away. Remember to follow your dream, because you have the power to make it come true.
或许你想去投资经商、旅游历险或是致力于你喜爱的事业。当你有了让自己激动的想法,那就坚持这个想法。记得坚持自己的梦想,因为你有能力让梦想成真。
Would you say your life is fun? Would you say you have more fun days than not? You would be surprised at so many people tell me that they do not think their life is fun and that most of their days are anything but fun. I find that a shame! Life is more fun than you think!
你会说自己的生活很有趣吗?你会说你度过的有趣日子比无趣的日子多吗?你会惊讶于许多人曾告诉我他们从不觉得自己的生活有趣甚至根本就无趣。这些人的话真令人感到遗憾。实际上,生活比你想像的要有趣得多。
What’s fun about it? That depends on you! What is it that would make your life more fun? I know the answer for me. I find all sorts of things fun, but if my mind is thinking negatively, then nothing seems fun.
生活怎么才有趣?决定权在你。什么会让你的生活更有趣?我知道什么能让我的生活更有趣。我发现各种各样有趣的事物,但如果我的思想很消极,那一切有趣的事物都会变得很无趣。
How’s your thinking? If your head is in the wrong place, you could have a million dollars cash but you wouldn’t be having fun. On the other side of the coin, you could be changing a flat tire and, if your mind is right, it might be the most fun thing you have ever done.
关于有趣的生活,你有何见解?如果心态不对,即使拥有一百万美金你也不可能尽情享乐。换个角度想想,如果心态是对的,即使是在换爆掉的轮胎,那都可能会是你干过的最有趣的事。
You decide what is fun. When I do something, I just tell myself that I am not going to complain about it and that I will enjoy it; and I do.
你可以决定什么事情有趣。当我做事时,我会告诉自己不去抱怨而是享受。我确实做到了。
If you believe, think and act like everything is a pain, then it will be. If you think, believe and act like life is happy, then that will become your reality as well.
如果你的信仰、思维和行为表现得好像任何事情都是痛苦的,那任何事情就都会是一种痛苦。反而言之,如果你的思维、信仰和行为表现得好像生活很幸福,那你的生活也就会很幸福。
Which do you choose?
你打算做何选择呢?
1.英语阅读的技巧和方法有哪些
单词量对于阅读至关重要。要注意的是：(1)在记忆单词时，不仅要记住中文意思，更要记住英文意思。否则的话，有些单词即便明明知道中文意思，一到句子里就不知道什么意思了。(2)很多单词不只一个意思，有好几种意思。随着英语水平的提高，不仅需要记住最常用的意思，也需要记住单词其它的一些意思。记忆单词的方法有很多，比如可以通过上下文记忆、分解单词记忆等，可以归纳总结适合自己的方法，也可参考相关的学习资料。
2.英语阅读的技巧和方法有哪些
遇到不认识的生词，偶尔可以猜测其意思。猜测的方式之一是通过上下文。其二是通过分析该单词的构词法。猜测时只要猜出其大概意思即可。
3.英语阅读的技巧和方法有哪些
遇到长句，首先应该静下心来划分句子的结构，把主谓宾以及主句和从句划分清楚。如果这方面比较薄弱，建议参考语法教材或请教老师同学，另外多做长句分析的练习。
4.英语阅读的技巧和方法有哪些
养成良好的阅读习惯，一方面包括将阅读英文材料作为一种学习习惯来养成，扩大阅读量，逐步提高阅读能力;另一方面包括良好的阅读行为，如扩大视角范围，不要在阅读时出声读文章等。需要计划、有意控制和自我监督。
5.英语阅读的技巧和方法有哪些
要想正确理解文章的逻辑思维，必须了解英文写作的一般规律。在英语文章中，每段都有一个中心意思，有时候用一句话来总结，我们称之为中心句。有中心句的文章，建议在中心句上做个标记。有些段落没有中心句，则需要我们稍做总结。如果在阅读中发现跟不上作者的思维了，则需要停下来总结一下各段的主要内容，这样有助于把握文章的总体逻辑。
6.英语阅读的技巧和方法有哪些
1.扫读(scanning)
扫读又叫扫描式阅读，目的在于寻找某一特定的信息或资料，通常用于查找某个单词、短语、数字或文章片断。我们的眼睛从上到下很快地扫过页面，直到发现所需要的信息，再停下来仔细阅读这部分。
具体应用：
在作答这一题的过程中，学生通过阅读问题得到提示，进而运用扫读，学生能够迅速找到所需信息的出处完成表格填写。扫读在寻找日期、地名、人名、数据，查词典，看表格时特别适用。
2.略读(skimming)
略读，顾名思义，就是粗略地阅读。略读的目的不在于精确地理解文章，而是为了了解大致内容，比如文章的主旨大意，传达的主要信息或作者的基本观点。当我们在有限的时间内要读完大量的文字时，通常采用略读的方式。一般来说，略读的速度比普通阅读速度快3到4倍。
具体应用：
首先大体步骤是：先读文章标题，再读段落的开头和结尾部分，或者文章的第一段和最后一段，这样可以帮助我们很快找到文章的主旨大意。采用略读可以帮助考生迅速通读全文，在这个过程中把握文章主旨、掌握大致结构，进而提炼段落内部层次，快速找到关键信息的对应位置，从而提炼出回答问题所需的信息。
3.扫读、略读和细读灵活组合
虽然不提倡在考试中全篇运用精读，但这三者的灵活组合还是十分常见的。比如读报纸题材的文章，想找足球比赛的结果，一开始搜索大标题，找到特定的文段，迫不及待地查看比赛结果。如果对比赛的细节感兴趣，再逐字逐句细读。在这个过程中先后采用了扫读、略读和细读三种方式。
4.在工作生活中的运用
扫读、略读都是快速阅读，在工作生活的很多场合可以派上用场。比如，读文件、网页、合同、标书、报纸、杂志、各种手册、说明书;查目录、时刻表、价格表、电话号码簿等。有时候，我们不需要看懂所有的文字，也能找到自己想找的信息。比如，关于足球赛的报道，只要能找到比赛结果，谁输谁赢，比分是多少，就达到了我们阅读的主要目的。
学会了扫读和略读，即使面对充满生词的文章，我们也不用担忧。我们可以采用扫读这一方法找到信息的位置，采用略读这一方法抓住主旨大意。再随着词汇量的扩大，我们就能越读越细，理解就会越来越深。
7.英语阅读的技巧和方法有哪些
资料的选择
首先，历年考试真题是必备的资料，真题是一个标准，做真题可以把握试题难度，出题角度，了解命题重点。其次，考研阅读辅导书，这种资料贵精不在多。做完后，我们应该反复的研读真题，思考不同类型文章的出题风格，从中摸索规律以提高阅读水平与做题技巧。
积累词语
要提高阅读水平，词汇量与短语量非常重要，打个比方：造房子要砖瓦材料，词汇就是阅读英语的砖瓦材料，没有相当量的英语词汇，阅读英语是无法进行的。所以要提高阅读水平，我们就得学会积累词语。我们不妨这么做：在通读全文后看第二遍，遇到生词尽可能根据上下文来猜，仍猜不出意思的，就把这些生字查好词典，然后抄写在一本可随身携带的小本子上。每天有空时，就拿出这小本子背诵记忆，这样做不费时，效果却很好，因不断接触，反复记忆，词汇量增加得很快。
8.英语阅读的技巧和方法有哪些
阅读能力的提高
阅读能力的测试包括阅读速度，理解程度以及记忆能力等。要想获得满意的英语成绩，最根本的方法就是提高词汇量，加强阅读训练，同时熟悉一些阅读技巧和做题方法也是至关重要的。每个人都有自己习惯的做题方法，不能说哪种方法更高明，要大家纷纷仿效。一种方法是先快速浏览问题，然后带着问题通读全文，了解文章的大概内容，这一遍要快，不理解的地方跳过，然后做题。这时我们心中已大概知道答案的分布，跳过无关部分，快速找到答案所在处，仔细阅读，反复推敲，直到选出正确答案。可以用直接法和排除法相结合选择答案，排除法是四个选项都看，逐一排除选项，选出正确答案。这种方法可提高正确率，但花费的时间较长。
另一种方法是先浏览文章后面的问题，然后带着问题去读文章。
读完文章后我们常有这样的情况：句子都能看懂，但读完文章印象却不深，这就牵涉到对文章框架结构的整体理解。如何学会对文章的整体理解呢?首先，要重视文章的题目和文章的首句。因为文章的题目就是文章的主题，文章的内容就是环绕主题展开。首句很关键是因为首句是文章的导入，点明作者写文章的意图，背景等。接着的每一段的第一句也很重要，因为每段的第一句实际上多半是每段的主题句，然后进行陈述或论述，逐步展开，给予例证，最后把该段内容用一句话来小结，所以每段的最后一个句子常常是该段的结论句，而整篇文章的最后一句就往往是这篇文章的结论或作者写这篇文章的用意所在。所以我们在阅读文章时要养成这样一个习惯：见了文章的题目，要停顿一下，想一想，如果让你写这篇文章将如何写，或猜一猜，这篇文章大概写什么，然后你会饶有兴趣地读下去。接着在往下阅读时特别注意每段的第一句与最后一句，并用心记往，在读完全文时清晰地将全文的主要内容像看电影似的一幅一幅地印在脑中，记忆很深既把握住了全文的主要内容、论点、论据，又学会了作者的逻辑推理的方法技巧及整篇文章的框架结构，而这是写文章最重要的，也就是文章的构思。
1. 快速泛读(fast extensive reading)
平时要养成快速泛读的习惯。这里讲的泛读是指广泛阅读大量涉及不同领域的书籍，要求读得快，理解和掌握书中的主要内容就可以了。要确定一个明确的读书定额，定额要结合自己的实际，切实可行，可多可少。例如每天读20页，一个学期以18周计算，就可以读21本中等厚度的书(每本书约120页)。
2. 计时阅读 (timed reading)
课余要养成计时阅读的习惯。计时阅读每次进行5～10分钟即可，不宜太长。因为计时快速阅读，精力高度集中，时间一长，容易疲劳、精力分散，反而乏味。阅读时先记下“起读时间”(starting time)，阅读完毕，记下“止读时间”(finishing time)，即可计算出本次阅读速度。随手记下，长期坚持，必定收到明显效果。
3. 略读 (skimming)
略读又称跳读(reading and skipping)或浏览(glancing)，是一种专门的，非常实用的快速阅读技能。所谓略读，是指以尽可能快的速度阅读，如同从飞机上鸟瞰(bird's eye view )地面上的明显标志一样，迅速获取文章大意或中心思想。换句话说，略读是要求读者有选择地进行阅读，可跳过某些细节，以求抓住文章的大概，从而加快阅读速度。据统计，训练有素的略读者(skimmer)的阅读速度可以达到每分钟3000到4000个词。
略读可以运用下列技巧：
(1)要利用印刷细节(typegraphical details)，如书或文章的标题、副标题、小标题、斜体词、黑体词、脚注、标点符号等，对书和文章进行预测略读(preview skimming)。预测略读要了解作者的思路、文章方式(模式)，以便把握大意，有关的细节及其相互关系。
(2)以一般阅读速度(200～250wpm)，阅读文章开头的一、二段，力求抓住文章大意、背景情况、作者的文章风格、口吻或语气等。
(3)阅读段落的主题句和结论句。抓住主题句就掌握了段落大意，然后略去细节不读，以求得略读速度。
4.寻读 (Scanning)
寻读又称查读，同略读一样，寻读也是一种快速阅读技巧。熟练的读者善于运用寻读获得具体信息，以提高阅读效率。
寻读是一种从大量的资料中迅速查找某一项具体事实或某一项特定信息，如人物、事件、时间、地点、数字等，而对其它无关部分则略去不读的快速阅读方法。运用这种方法，读者就能在最短的时间内掠过尽可能多的印刷材料，找到所需要的信息。例如，在车站寻找某次列车或汽车的运行时刻，在机场寻找某次班机的飞行时刻，在图书馆查找书刊的目录，在文 献中查找某一日期、名字、数字或号码等，都可以运用这种方法
以上就是四种练习快速的方法介绍，其实这些方法我们在平常的生活和学习中都曾用到过，只是我们没有意识到而已，而一旦把它们作为方法单独挑选出来，然后按照其要求坚持练习，就会取得很好的效果。这也说明了在我们身边就有很多途径可以提高阅读速度，关键还要看你怎样去挖掘这些方法了。
1、扩大阅读视野
所谓阅读视野是指眼睛在“凝视”的瞬间所能接收或覆盖的印刷符号。普通读者眼睛停顿时可接收两个英语单词，阅读能力强的读者一眼可以看四个左右的`单词，但能力差的读者一眼只能接收一个或者不到一个的单词。因此，在相等的阅读时间里，视野狭窄的读者所看到的单词要少得多，如果再经常复视，读速肯定快不了。
我们阅读时应该特别注意词的整体性，要把注意力放在句子中较大的单位上，而不要放在一个个孤立的单词上。例如，下面的句子可以分成三个词群，Most paragraphs/ have a topic sentence/ which expresses the central idea.我们不妨将它们作为三个相对独立的整体看待，阅读时，眼睛只要停顿三次而不是十次。
2、用英语思考
在阅读时，不必把英文翻译成中文，否则将大大地降低阅读速度，从而影响对阅读材料的全面理解。
3、注意预读
预读是每个读者必须掌握的一项基本阅读技巧。在我们正式阅读一本书之前，首先应该通过预读粗略地估计一下该书写的是什么内容。书籍预读主要包括以下七个方面
(1)思考标题的含义
(2)速读作者姓名与书籍出版日期
(3)看看封面或书中的照片或插图
(4)速读目录内容
(5)浏览索引或附录
(6)速读作者简介以及前言
(7)浏览书尾的参考书目。
短篇文章预读要相对地简单一些。它主要包括阅读标题、作者姓名以及照片和插图。有些读者不知道预读的重要性，或者觉得它是浪费时间。特别是在做阅读与理解测试题时，时间一紧，他们就忽略预读，捧起文章就埋头看正文。由于跳过了预读这一重要环节，他们的阅读在相当长的时间内是在盲目的探索中进行的。
4、增强猜词能力
看文章经常会遇到一些生词。这时，我们不要急于查词典，许多生词的意义都可以猜出来。查词典不但会减慢读速，而且会打断读者的思路，降低阅读效率。 猜词义的方法多种多样。最常用的是根据上下文猜测生词的含义。另外我们还可以根据构词法(如前缀、后摄)，同义词、反义词等揣摸某些生词的意思。当然，有不少生词(特别是一些抽象名词)的意思是很难猜出来的。如果它们对理解文章内容无多大妨碍，我们完全可以跳过它，不要把精力过分地放在猜词义上。只见树木而不见树林的阅读方法是不可取的。
英语阅读方法有哪些
眼看同等学力英语考试的日子越来越近，但是很多同学感觉做阅读理解时阅读速度很慢，在阅读理解这一部分花费了大量的时间，但得分甚少，而且还影响了其他试题的解答。以下我为大家整理了英语阅读的方法，希望对大家有所帮助！
1、记忆单词策略：
单词量对于阅读至关重要。要注意的是：（1）在记忆单词时，不仅要记住中文意思，更要记住英文意思。否则的话，有些单词即便明明知道中文意思，一到句子里就不知道什么意思了。（2）很多单词不只一个意思，有好几种意思。随着英语水平的提高，不仅需要记住最常用的意思，也需要记住单词其它的一些意思。记忆单词的方法有很多，比如可以通过上下文记忆、分解单词记忆等，可以归纳总结适合自己的方法，也可参考相关的学习资料。
2、猜词策略：
遇到不认识的生词，偶尔可以猜测其意思。猜测的方式之一是通过上下文。其二是通过分析该单词的构词法。猜测时只要猜出其大概意思即可。
3、分解句子策略：
遇到长句，首先应该静下心来划分句子的结构，把主谓宾以及主句和从句划分清楚。如果这方面比较薄弱，建议参考语法教材或请教老师同学，另外多做长句分析的练习。
4、阅读习惯策略：
养成良好的阅读习惯，一方面包括将阅读英文材料作为一种学习习惯来养成，扩大阅读量，逐步提高阅读能力；另一方面包括良好的阅读行为，如扩大视角范围，不要在阅读时出声读文章等。需要计划、有意控制和自我监督。
5、培养英语思维策略：
要想正确理解文章的'逻辑思维，必须了解英文写作的一般规律。在英语文章中，每段都有一个中心意思，有时候用一句话来总结，我们称之为中心句。有中心句的文章，建议在中心句上做个标记。有些段落没有中心句，则需要我们稍做总结。如果在阅读中发现跟不上作者的思维了，则需要停下来总结一下各段的主要内容，这样有助于把握文章的总体逻辑。
以下是 考 网为大家整理的关于《英文文章阅读：人生的回音The Echo》文章，供大家学习参考！ He looks to his father and asks,"What's going on?" The father smiles and says,"My son, pay attention." And then he screams to the mountain, "I admire you!" The voice answers," I admire you!" Again the man screams,"You are a champion!" The voice answers,"You are a champion!" The boy is surprised, but does not understand. Then the father explains,"People call this ECHO, but really this is LIFE. It gives you back everything you say or do. Our life is simply a reflection of our actions. If you want more love in the world, create more love in your heart. If you want more competence in you team, improve your competence. This relationship applies to everything, in all aspects of life. Life will give you back everything you have given to it."[参考译文] 有一个小男孩和他的父亲走在山中。突然，孩子不小心跌倒了，痛得大叫了一声：“哎呀……”但是令他吃惊的是，他听到了一个声音从山中的某处传出来，重复着他的喊声：“哎呀……”他很好奇，大声喊道：“你是谁？”结果他得到的回答也是：“你是谁？”小男孩听了很生气，大声喊道：“胆小鬼！”结果他得到的回答也是：“胆小鬼！”他看着父亲问道：“到底是怎么回事？”父亲笑着说：“儿子，注意听。”父亲对着山大喊了一声：“我佩服你！”结果传回来的声音也是：“我佩服你！”父亲再一次大声地喊：“你是冠军！”那个声音也回答道：“你是冠军！”小孩子很惊讶，但是不明白其中的原因。 这时父亲解释说：“人们称这为‘回音’，但实际上这就是‘人生’。你说的每一句话，做的每一件事都会回应到你身上。我们的人生只不过是我们所作所为的反映。如果你要这个世界有更多的爱，那么你就要在你的心中创造更多的爱；如果你想让你的团队更优秀，那么先让你自己更优秀。这种关系对任何事情都是适用的，它适用于人生的方方面面。你给予人生的一切它都会回应给你。”

Beautiful Smile and Love美丽的微笑与爱心
The poor are very wonderful evening we went out and we picked up four people from the street. And one of them was in a most terrible condition-and I told the Sisters: You take care of the other three. I take care of this one who looked worse. So I did for her all that my love can do. I put her in bed, and there was such a beautiful smile on her face. She took hold of my hand as she said just the words "Thank you." and she died.
I could not help but examine my conscience before her and I asked what would I say if I was in her place. And my answer was very simple. I would have tried to draw a little attention to myself. I would have said I am hungry, that I am dying, I am cold, I am in pain, or something, but she gave me much more--she gave me her grateful love. And she died with a smile on her face. So did that man whom we picked up from the drain, half eaten with worms, and we brought him to the home. "I have lived like an animal in the street, but I am going to die like an angel, loved and cared for." And it was so wonderful to see the greatness of that man who could speak like that, who could die like that without blaming anybody, without cursing anybody, without comparing anything. Like an angel-this is the greatness of our people. And that is why we believe what Jesus had said: I was hungry-I was naked-I was homeless-I was unwanted, unloved, uncared for-and you did it to me.
I believe that we are not real social workers. We may be doing social work in the eyes of the people, but we are really contemplatives, in the heart of the world. For we are touching the body of Christ twenty-four I think that in our family we don't need bombs and guns. to destroy, to bring peace-just get together, love one another, bring that peace, that joy, that strength of presence of each other in the home. And we will be able to overcome all the evil that is in the world.
And with this prize that I received as a Prize of Peace, I am going to try to make the home for many people who have no home. Because I believe that love begins at home, and if we can create a home for the poor. 1 think that more and more love will spread. And we will be able through this understanding love to bring peace, be the good new to the poor in our own family first, in our country and in the world. To be able to do this,our Sisters, our lives have to be woven with prayer."They have to he woven with Christ to be able to understand, to be able to share. Because to be woven with Christ is to be able to understand, to be able to share. Because today there is so much suffering…When I pick up a person from the street, hungry, I give him a plate of rice, a piece of bread, I have satisfied. I have removed that hungry. But a person who is shut out, who feels unwanted,unloved, terrified, the person who has been thrown out from society-that poverty is so full of hurt and so unbearable...And so let us always meet each other with a smile, for the smile is the beginning of love, and once we begin to love each other naturally we want to do something.
穷人是非常了不起的人。一天晚上，我们外出，从街上带回了四个人，其中一个生命岌岌可危。于是我告诉修女们说:“你们照料其他三个，这个濒危的人就由我来照顾了。”就这样，我为她做了我的爱心所能做的一切。我将她放在床上，看到她的脸上绽露出如此美丽的微笑。她握着我的手，只说了句“谢谢您”就死了。
我情不自禁地在她面前审视起自己的良知来。我问自己，如果我是她的话，会说些什么呢?答案很简单，我会尽量引起旁人对我的关注，我会说我饥饿难忍，冷得发抖，奄龟一息，痛苦不堪，诸如此类的话。但是她给我的却更多更多—她给了我她的感激之情。她死时脸上却带着微笑。我们从排水道带回的那个男子也是如此。当时，他几乎全身都快被虫子吃掉了，我们把他带回了家。“在街上，我一直像个动物一样地活着，但我将像个天使一样地死去，有人爱，有人关心_”真是太好了，我看到了他的伟大之处，他竟能说出那样的活。他那样死去，不责怪任何
人，不诅咒任何人，无欲无求。像天使一样—这便是我们的人民的伟大之所在。因此我们相信耶稣所说的——我饥肠辘辘—我衣不蔽体—我无家可归—我不为人所要，不为人所爱，也不为人所关心—然而，你却为我做了这一切。
我想，我们算一不上真正的社会工作者。在人们的限中，或许我们是在做社会工作，但实际上，我们真的只是世界中心的修行者。因为，一天24小时，我们都在触摸基督的圣体。我想，在我们的大家庭里，我们不需要枪和炮弹来破坏和平，或带来和平—我们只需要团结起来，彼此相爱，将和平、欢乐以及每一个家庭成员灵魂的活力都带回世界。这样，我们就能战胜世界上现存的切邪恶。
我准备以我所获得的诺贝尔和平奖奖金为那些无家可归的人们建立自己的家园。因为我相信，爱源自家庭，如果我们能为穷人建立家园，我相信爱便会传播得更广。而且，我们将通过这种宽容博大的爱而带来和平，成为穷人的福音。首先为我们自己家里的穷人，其次为我们国家，为全世界的穷人。为了做到这一点，姐妹们，我们的生活就必须与祷告紧紧相连，必须同基督结为一体才能互相体谅，共同分享，因为同基督结为一体就意味着互相体谅，共同分享。因为，今天世界上仍有如此多的苦难存在……当我从街上带回一个饥肠辘辘的人时 ,给他一盘饭，一片面包，我就能使他心满意足了，我就能驱除他的饥饿。但是，如果一个人露宿街头，感到不为人所要，不为人所爱，惶恐不安，被社会抛弃—这样的贫困让人心痛，如此令人无法忍受。因此，让我们总是微笑相见，因为微笑就是爱的开端，一旦我们开始彼此自然地相爱，我们就会想着为对方做点什么了。
课堂笔记：
1.特蕾莎修女没有引用演讲的常规模式，如“Ladies and gentlemen"，而是平和地用“穷人是非常了不起的人”做开场白。一方面展示了她对这个奖项的淡定;另一方面是向在场的观众表明她及她的团体所施爱的对象群体，恰恰是常人所瞧不起甚至藐视的人群。
2.修女本有一固定单词为“nun”，特蕾莎修女选择了“sister”这个单词，表明她们慈爱团体的亲密关系如同姐妹，令现场的观众也有一种亲近感。“Sister”首字母大写，通常既可以指天主教修女，也可以指基督教会员。
3.英语中表示“禁不住做某事”的常用结构为“cannot help doing sth.; cannot help but do sth."。
4. "a Prize of Peace”指诺贝尔和平奖.诺贝尔奖是以瑞典著名化学家、峭化甘油炸药发明人阿尔弗雷德·贝恩哈德·诺贝尔的部分遗产作为基金创立的。诺贝尔奖包括金质奖章、证书和奖金支票。在遗嘱中他提出，将部分遗产(920万美元)作为基金，以其利息分设物理、化学、生理或医学、文学及和平(后添加了经济奖)5个奖项，授予世界各国在这些领域对人类作出重大贡献的学者。
5.此处的“understanding”不应简单地理解为“有理解力的，有洞察力的”。而是“富有同情心的”。这是特蕾莎修女的演讲，理解时要与她的身份吻。因此，原文中 understanding love可理解为“博爱”。
Companionship of Books以书为伴
A man may usually be known by the books he reads as well as by the company he keeps; for there is a companionship of books as well as of men; and one should always live in the best company, whether it be of books or of men.
A good book may be among the best of friends. It is the same today that it always was, and it will never chance. It is the most patient and cheerful of companions. It does not turn its back upon us in times of adversity or distress. It always receives us with the same kindness, amusing and instructing us in youth, and comforting and consoling us in age.
Men often discover their affinity to each other by the mutual love they have for a book just as two persons sometimes discover a friend by the admiration which both entertain for a is an old proverb, "Love me, love my dog." But there is more wisdom in this: "Love me, love my book." The book is a truer and higher bond of union. Men can think, feel, and sympathize with each other through their favorite author. They live in him together, and he in them.
"Books," said Hazlitt, "wind into the heart; the poet's verse slides in the current of our blood. We read them when young, we remember them when old. We feel that it has happened to ourselves. They are to be very cheap and good. We breathe but the air of books."
A good book is often the best urn of a life enshrining the best that life could think out; for the world of a man's life is, for the most part, but the world of his thoughts. Thus the best books are treasuries of good words, the golden thoughts, which, remembered and cherished, become our constant companions and comforters. "They are never alone," said Sir Philip Sidney, "that are accompanied by noble thoughts." The good and true thought may in times of temptation be as an angel of mercy purifying and guarding the soul. It also enshrines the germs of action, for good words almost always inspire to good works.
Books possess an essence of immortality. They are by far the most lasting products of human effort. Temples and statues decay, but books survive. Time is of no account with great thoughts, which are as fresh today as when they first passed through their author's minds, ages ago. What was then said and thought still speaks to us as vividly as ever from the printed page. The only effect of time has been to sift out the bad products; for nothing in literature can long survive but what is really good.
Books introduce us into the best society; they bring us into the presence of the greatest minds that have ever lived. We hear what they said and did; we see them as if they were really alive; we sympathize with them, enjoy with them, grieve with them; their experience becomes ours, and we feel as if we were in a measure actors with them in the scenes which they describe.
The great and good do not die, even in this world. Embalmed in books, their spirits walk abroad. The book is a living voice. It is an intellect to which one still listens. Hence we ever remain under the influence of the great men of old. The imperial intellects of the world are as much alive now as they were ages ago.
了解一个人，通常可以看他读什么书，结交什么人.因为有人以人为伴，有人以书为伴。无论是书友还是朋友，生活中我们都应该和最佳最善者常相伴。
好书可以是你最好的朋友。它始终不渝，过去如此，现在如此，将来也永不改变。它是最有耐心、最令人愉悦的伴侣。在我们遭受不幸，忧伤悲痛的时候，它不会抛弃我们。它总是一如既往地亲切相待。我们年少时，好书给我们带来欢笑和知识;我们年老时，好书又给我们以亲抚和慰藉。
喜欢同一本书的人，常常发现彼此间习性也相近，就像有一时两个人因为敬慕同一个人而成为朋友一样。古时有句谚语：“爱屋及鸟。”其实，“爱我及书”这句活蕴涵更多的哲理。书是更为真诚而高尚的情谊纽带。人们可以通过共同喜爱的作家沟通思想，交流感情，产生共鸣。他们和作家情感相通，作家和他们思想相融。
哈兹利特曾经说过：“书潜移转化人们的内心，诗歌熏陶人们的气质品性。少小所习，老大不忘，恍如身历其事。书籍价廉物美，不啻我们呼吸的空气。”
好书常如最精美的宝器，珍藏着人生思想的精华，因为人生命的境界主要在于其思想的境界。因此，最好的书是金玉良言，是崇高思想的宝库，这些良言和思想若铭记于心并多加珍视，就会成为我们忠实的伴侣和永恒的慰藉。菲利普·锡德尼爵士说得好:“有高尚思想做伴的人永不孤独。”当我们面临诱惑的时候，优美纯真的思想会像仁慈的天使一样，纯洁并保卫我们的灵魂。优美纯真的思想也孕育着行动的胚芽，因为金玉良言几乎总会启发善行。
书籍具有不朽的本质，是人类努力创造的最为持久的成果。寺庙会倒塌，神像会朽烂，而书却经久长存。对于伟大思想来说，时间是无关紧要的。多年前初次闪现于作者脑海的伟大思想今天依然清新如故。他们昨日的言论和思想刊载于纸张之上，如今依然生动如初，向我们娓娓道来。时间唯一的作用是淘汰不好的作品，因为只有真正的佳作才能经世长存。
书籍介绍我们与最优秀的人为伍，使我们置身于历代伟人巨匠之间，如闻其声，如观其行，如见其人，同他们情感交融，悲喜与共.感同身受。一定程度上，我们觉得自己仿佛在作者所描绘的舞台上和他们一起粉墨登场。
即使在人世间，伟大杰出的人物也永生不朽。他们的精神被载人书册，传于四海。书是有生命力的声音，是人类至今仍在聆听的智慧之声。所以，我们永远都受历代伟人的影响。多少世纪以前的盖世英才，如今仍同当年一样，显示着强大的生命力。
课堂笔记：
1.此处的“as well as”相当于连词"and"、连接两个介词短语。
2.虚拟语气在由“whether”引导的让步状语从句中，从句谓语用动词原形，表示“不论是……还是……”同时，"whether"一词可以省去，而将“be”动词放在主语前.此从句可以变为“be it of books or of men”.
3."the same as"和"the same that"都指“和…相同”的含义，但前者强调的是类型的相同，而后者强调的是事物本身的相同。此处指的是好书本身，故而用的是"the same that".
4.句中的两个介词“by"均表示方式，表“通过”之意。省略"that”的定语从句从句"they have for a book”用于修饰“love"。连词“as”表示“正如……一样”，后接从句，用于比较。关系代词“which”引导的定语从句“which both entertain for a third”用于修饰“admiration"。
5."Love me, love my dog.”常被译为“爱屋及乌”英语中有关“dog”的谚语很多，比如:a lucky dog(幸运儿);Every dog has his day.(人人皆有得意日。);It rains cats and dogs.(下倾盆大雨。);a cat-and-dog life(争争吵吵的日子)等等。
6.威廉·哈兹利特(William Hazlitt,1778-1830)，英国散文家、评论家、画家.
7.这是由关系代词which引导的非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词treasuries，从句中的过去分词结构“remembered and cherished(铭记于心并多加珍视)”用作状语，表示条件.
8.菲利普·锡德尼爵士(Sir Philip Sidney, 1554- 1586 )，英国文艺复兴时期的'著名的散文家、政治家，有很高的艺术修养.科学知识丰富.
9.此处的but为介词，表示“除……以外”的含义，what引导的从句作but的宾语。
The expensive shops in a famous arcade near Piccadilly were just opening. At this time of the morning, the arcade was almost empty. Mr Taylor, the owner of a jewellery shop was admiring a new window display. Two of his assistants had been working busily since 8 o'clock and had only just finished. Diamond necklaces and rings had been beautifully arranged on a background of black velvet. After gazing at the display for several minutes, Mr Taylor went back into his shop.
The silence was suddenly broken when a large car, with its headlights on and its horn blaring, roared down the arcade. It came to a stop outside the jeweler's. One man stayed at the wheel while two others with black stockings over their faces jumped out and smashed the window of the shop with iron bars. While this was going on, Mr Taylor was upstairs. He and his staff began throwing furniture out of the window. Chairs and tables went flying into the arcade. One of the thieves was struck by a heavy statue, but he was too busy helping himself to diamonds to notice any pain. The raid was all over in three minutes, for the men scrambled back into the car and it moved off at a fantastic speed. Just as it was leaving, Mr Taylor rushed out and ran after it throwing ashtrays and vases, but it was impossible to stop the thieves. They had got away with thousands of pounds worth of diamonds.
皮卡迪利大街附近的一条著名拱廊街道上，几家高档商店刚刚开始营业。在早晨的这个时候，拱廊街上几乎空无一人。珠宝店主泰勒先生正在欣赏新布置的橱窗。他手下两名店员从早上8点就开始忙碌，这时刚刚布置完毕。钻石项链、戒指漂亮地陈列在黑色丝绒上面。泰勒先生站在橱窗外凝神欣赏了几分钟就回到了店里。
宁静突然被打破，一辆大轿车亮着前灯，响着喇叭，呼啸着冲进了拱廊街，在珠宝店门口停了下来。一人留在驾驶座上，另外两个用黑色长筒丝袜蒙面的人跳下车来。他们用铁棒把商店橱窗的玻璃砸碎。这开始发生时，泰勒先生正在楼上。他与店员动手向窗外投掷家具，椅子，桌子飞落花流水在拱廊街上。一个窃贼被一尊很重的雕像击中，但由于他忙着抢钻石首饰，竟连疼痛都顾不上了。这场抢劫只持续了3分钟，因为窃贼争先恐后地爬上轿车，以惊人的速度开跑了。就在轿车离开的时候，泰勒先生从店里冲了出来，跟在车后追赶，一边还往车上扔烟灰缸、花瓶。但他已无法抓住那些窃贼了。他们已带着价值数千镑的首饰逃之夭夭了。

There is even a competition for foreigners to show their level of Chinese. I am so surprised by their insistance.

经典的英语文章适合我们闲时练习英语阅读，下面我为大家带来，希望大家喜欢! 篇一： I am an art student and I paint a lot of pictures. Many people pretend that they understand modern art. They always tell you what a picture is 'about'. Of course, many pictures are not 'about' anything. They are just pretty patterns. We like them in the same way that we like pretty curtain material. I think that young children often appreciate modern pictures better than anyone else. They notice more. My sister is only seven, but she always tells me whether my pictures are good or not. She came into my room yesterday. 'What are you doing?' she asked. 'I'm hanging this picture on the wall,' I answered. 'It's a new one. Do you like it?' She looked at it critically for a moment. 'It's all right,' she said, 'but isn't it upside down?' I looked at it again. She was right! It was! 我是个学艺术的学生，画了很多画。有很多人装成很懂现代艺术。他们总是告诉你一幅画的。当然，有很多画是什么意思也没有的。他们只不过是漂亮的图案。我们喜欢它们就像我们喜欢漂亮的窗帘布。我觉得小孩子们往往比任何人都更能欣赏现代绘画。他们观察到的东西更多。我的妹妹只有七岁，但她总能说出我的画是好还是不好。昨天她到我房里来了。"你干什么呢。她问。"我把这幅画挂到墙上，我回答。"这是一个新的。你喜欢吗。她用挑剔的目光一会儿。"这都是正确的，"她说，"但这不是颠倒的吗?"我又看。她是对的!这是! 篇二： Late in the afternoon, the boys put up their tent in the middle of a field. As soon as this was done, they cooked a meal over an open fire. They were all hungry and the food *** elled good. After a wonderful meal, they told stories and sang songs by the campfire. But some time later it began to rain. The boys felt tired so they put out the fire and crept into their tent. Their sleeping bags were warm and fortable, so they all slept soundly. In the middle of the night, two boys woke up and began shouting. The tent was full of water! They all leapt out of their sleeping bags and hurried outside. It was raining heavily and they found that a stream had formed in the field. The stream wound its way across the field and then flowed right under their tent! 在下午晚些时候，男孩子们把帐篷搭在一个领域中。一旦这是，他们在篝火上烧起了饭。他们都饿了，而且食物闻起来很香。一顿美餐之后，他们讲故事、唱歌的篝火。但过了些时候开始下雨了。孩子们感到累了，所以他们扑灭了火，爬进了帐篷。睡袋既暖和又舒适，所以他们都睡得很香。在半夜里，两个男孩醒来了，开始喊。帐篷里全是水!他们全都跳出睡袋，跑到外面。雨下得很大，他们发现地上已经形成了一个流。那小溪弯弯曲曲穿过田野，然后正好从他们的帐篷! 篇三： Editors of newspapers and magazines often go to extremes to provide their readers with unimportant facts and statistics. Last year a journalist had been instructed by a well-known magazine to write an article on the president's palace in a new African republic. When the article arrived, the editor read the first sentence and then refused to publish it. The article began: 'Hundreds of steps lead to the high wall which surrounds the president's palace.' The editor at once sent the journalist a fax instructing him to find out the exact number of steps and the height of the wall. The journalist immediately set out to obtain these important facts, but he took a long time to send them. Meanwhile, the editor was getting impatient, for the magazine would soon go to press. He sent the journalist two urgent telegrams, but received no reply. He sent yet another telegram rming the journalist that if he did not reply soon he would be fired. When the journalist again failed to reply, the editor reluctantly published the article as it had originally been written. A week later, the editor at last received a telegram from the journalist. Not only had the poor man been arrested, but he had been sent to prison as well. However, he had at last been allowed to send a cable in which he rmed the editor that he had been arrested while counting the 1084 steps leading to the 15-foot wall which surrounded the president's palace. 报刊杂志的编辑常常为了向读者提供成立一些关紧要的事实和统计数字而走向极端。去年，一位记者受一家有名的杂志的委托写一篇关于非洲某个新成立共和国总统府的文章。稿子寄来后，编辑看第一句话就拒绝予以发表。文章的开头是这样的："几百级台阶通向环绕总统的高墙。"编辑立即给那位记者发去传真，要求他核实一下台阶的确切数字和围墙的高度。 记者立即出发去核实这些重要的事实，但过了好长时间不见他把数字寄来，在此期间，编辑等得不耐烦了，因为杂志马上要付印。他给记者先后发去两份传真，但对方毫无反应。于是他又发了一份传真，通知那位记者说，若再不迅速答复，将被解雇。但记者还是没有回复。编辑无奈，勉强按原样发稿了。一周之后，编辑终于接到记者的传真。那个可怜的记者不仅被捕了，而且还被送进了监狱。不过，他终于获准发回了一份传真。在传真中他告诉编辑，就在他数通向15英尺高的总统府围墙的1，084级台阶时，被抓了起来。

你好!我的名字叫东东。我知道我有一台好看的闹钟。它是一台漂亮的钟。钟的上部有红色的.冠子。当你想要调整时间时，按下头上的红冠子就可以调节时间。那时“钟”将按时醒来。到时候“公鸡”就会“喔、喔、喔”地叫，该起床了。而且叫是眼睛还会发光。 它是一只好看又有用的钟，我很喜欢它。
第三篇：七只老鼠的南瓜车
Early autumn in the pumpkin garden, there came seven wide mice escaping from a big and terrifying cat. They rushed into green vines and leaves aplenty with big and round pumpkins.
南瓜园的初秋，跑进了七只野老鼠，他们正在逃避一只可怕的大猫。他们冲进了层层叠叠的绿色南瓜藤和南瓜叶，上面正结满了又大又圆的南瓜。
The prideful cat hunted around like a chicken with its head cut off in vain and finally left in dismay.
高傲的猫就像无头苍蝇一样四处寻找但一无所获，最后只好灰溜溜地走了。
“Hooray, we are safe now!”
“万岁，我们现在安全了!”
When they came out, they were deeply attracted. The giant pumpkin leaves were as huge as the lotus leaves while the pumpkins were orange through a summer’s sunlight.
当他们出来时，被眼前的情景给深深地吸引了。大南瓜叶像荷叶一般大，而南瓜经过一个夏天的日照已呈金黄色。
The smallest mouse’s nose jutted out and got very close to a pumpkin. He smelled with a smile:
最小的一只老鼠伸出了鼻子，非常近地靠近一只南瓜，他闻了一下便笑了：
“Great, it’s sweat! It must be the biggest pumpkin I’ve ever seen. I am hungry now. I guess it must be better in my belly!”
“太棒了，好甜呀!这肯定是我见过的最大的南瓜了!我饿了，我猜它呆在我肚子里会比较好!”
Other six mice were hungry to
“Running costs energy!”
另外六只老鼠也饿了：
“逃跑消耗能量!”
They rushed to the pumpkin and bit holes with their shape teeth. They ate, ate and ate not only the delicious meat but also the seed. Finally they stopped eating and felt good for their full and round bellies.
他们冲到那只南瓜前，用锋利的牙齿咬开洞洞。他们吃啊，吃啊，吃啊，不仅品尝了美味的南瓜肉还有可口的南瓜籽。最后，他们的肚子变得滚圆滚圆才心满意足地作罢!
Then they burped and climbed out of the pumpkin. When they saw their great work, they all laughed:
他们打着饱嗝从南瓜里爬出来，当看见自己伟大的作品时全都笑了：
“Aha, look, the pumpkin has holes here and there!”
“啊哈，看呀，这南瓜已经千疮百孔了!”
The smallest mouse suddenly had a good idea and shouted:
“Why not roll it as a pumpkin cart. It must be very interesting!”
最小的老鼠突然有了一个好主意便叫道：
“为什么不把它滚起来就像南瓜车一样，这肯定非常有趣!”
Other six mice all agreed:
“Just do it!”
另外的六只老鼠附和道：
“想做就做!”
Then they all entered the pumpkin shell and pushed it ahead forcefully:
“Goodness me!The moon is really in the water!”

A farmer purchases an old, run-down, abandoned farm with plans to turn it into a thriving enterprise. The fields are grown over with weeds, the farmhouse is falling apart, and the fences are collapsing all around.(短文学网 )
During his first day of work, the town preacher stops by to bless the man's work, saying, “May you and God work together to make this the farm of your dreams!”
A few months later, the preacher stops by again to call on the farmer. Look and behold. it's like a completely different place—the farmhouse is completely rebuilt and in excellent condition, there are plenty of cattle and other livestock happily munching on feed in well-fenced pens, and the fields are filled with crops planted in neat rows. “Amazing!” the preacher says. “Look what God and you have accomplished together!”
“Yes, reverend,” says the farmer, “but remember what the farm was like when God was working it alone!”

“是的，教士，”那个农民说道：“可你别忘了，当初这个农场只由上帝一人管理时是个什么样子!”

A couple had two little boys, ages 8 and 10, who were excessively mischievous. They were always getting into trouble and their parents knew that, if any mischief occurred in their town, their sons were probably involved.
The boys' mother heard that a clergyman in town had been successful in disciplining children, so she asked if he would speak with her boys. The clergyman agreed, but asked to see them individually. So the mother sent her 8-year-old first, in the morning, with the older boy to see the clergyman in the afternoon.
The clergyman, a huge man with a booming voice, sat the younger boy down and asked him sternly, “Where is God?”
The boy's mouth dropped open, but he made no response, sitting there with his mouth hanging open, wide-eyed. So the clergyman repeated the question in an even sterner tone,“Where is God!!?” Again the boy made no attempt to answer. So the clergyman raised his voice even more and shook his finger in the boy's face and bellowed, “Where is god?”
The boy screamed and bolted from the room, ran directly home and dove into his closet, slamming the door behind him. When his older brother found him in the closet, he asked, “What happened?”
The younger brother, gasping for breath, replied, “We are in Big trouble this time. God is missing—and they think we did it!”

牧师身材高大，声音洪亮。他让小孩子坐下来，严厉地问道：“上帝在哪里?”
男孩张大了嘴，可是没有作声，他目瞪口呆地坐在那里。于是牧师又严厉地问道：“上帝在哪里?”男孩再一次沉默。于是牧师又提高了嗓门，在男孩的面前摇着手指，怒吼道：“上帝在哪里?”
男孩尖叫着从屋里冲了出来，直接往家跑去，钻进了衣柜，并把门关上了。当他的哥哥在衣柜中找到他时，问道：“发生了什么事?”
小弟弟喘着气说：“我们闯了大祸了。上帝不见了——他们认为是我们俩干的!”

A professor stood before his class of 20 senior organic biology students, about to hand out the final exam.
“I want to say that it's been a pleasure teaching you this semester. I know you've all worked extremely hard and many of you are off to medical school after summer. So that no one gets their GPA messed up because they might have been celebrating a bit too much this week, anyone who would like to opt out of the final exam today will receive a 'B' for the course.”
There was much rejoicing amongst the class as students got up, passed by the professor to thank him and sign out on his offer. As the last taker left the room, the professor looked out over the handful of remaining students and asked, “Any one else? This is your last chance.” One final student rose up and took the offer.
The professor closed the door and took attendance of those students remaining. “I'm glad to see you believe in yourself.” he said. “You all have 'A' s.”

许多学生异常惊喜，一个接一个地站了起来，从教授身边走过，对他表示感谢，并在纸上签了名。等到最后一个选择放弃的学生走出教室后，教授看着剩下的同学问：“还有吗?这是你们的最后机会了。”终于，还是有一名同学站了起来，接受了建议。
教授关上门，清点了一下剩余的同学，说道：“我非常高兴看到你们能够相信自己，你们都得‘A’。”

The expensive shops in a famous arcade near Piccadilly were just opening. At this time of the morning, the arcade was almost empty. Mr Taylor, the owner of a jewellery shop was admiring a new window display. Two of his assistants had been working busily since 8 o'clock and had only just finished. Diamond necklaces and rings had been beautifully arranged on a background of black velvet. After gazing at the display for several minutes, Mr Taylor went back into his shop.
The silence was suddenly broken when a large car, with its headlights on and its horn blaring, roared down the arcade. It came to a stop outside the jeweler's. One man stayed at the wheel while two others with black stockings over their faces jumped out and smashed the window of the shop with iron bars. While this was going on, Mr Taylor was upstairs. He and his staff began throwing furniture out of the window. Chairs and tables went flying into the arcade. One of the thieves was struck by a heavy statue, but he was too busy helping himself to diamonds to notice any pain. The raid was all over in three minutes, for the men scrambled back into the car and it moved off at a fantastic speed. Just as it was leaving, Mr Taylor rushed out and ran after it throwing ashtrays and vases, but it was impossible to stop the thieves. They had got away with thousands of pounds worth of diamonds.

Yesterday afternoon Frank Hawkins was telling me about his experiences as a young man. Before he retired, Frank was the head of a very large business company, but as a boy he used to work in a small shop. It was his job to repair bicycles and at that time he used to work fourteen hours a day. He saved money for years and in 1958 he bought a small workshop of his own. In his twenties Frank used to make spare parts for aeroplanes. At that time he had two helpers. In a few years the small workshop had become a large factory which employed seven hundred and twenty-eight people. Frank smiled when he remembered his hard early years and the long road to success. He was still smiling when the door opened and his wife came in. She wanted him to repair their grandson's bicycle!

Nearly a week passed before the girl was able to explain what had happened to her. One afternoon she set out from the coast in a small boat and was caught in a storm. Towards evening, the boat struck a rock and the girl jumped into the sea. Then she swam to the shore after spending the whole night in the water. During that time she covered a distance of eight miles. Early next morning, she saw a light ahead. She knew she was near the shore because the light was high up on the cliffs. On arriving at the shore, the girl struggled up the cliff towards the light she had seen. That was all she remembered. When she woke up a day later, she found herself in hospital.
