我们以往讲过一个故事叫“东施效颦”。故事里有个美女叫西施，长得十分美，以致于人们在形容美丽的景色的时候，都拿她来做比喻。这次呱呱要带大家去的地方就是和西施一样美的西湖。
西湖又叫西子湖。
it is located in the west part of hangzhou， zhejiang province.
对于西湖之美，人们有很多种比喻。
some one thinks the west lake is just like a beautiful traditional chinese painting.
也有人说，西湖是一首诗、一个美丽动人的故事。
the west lake is beautiful in any season.
这一点十分令人称奇。
人们把西湖的美概括为西湖十景，它们分别是：苏堤春晓、曲院风荷、柳浪闻莺、双峰插云、花港观鱼、平湖秋月、三潭印月、南屏晚钟、雷锋夕照、断桥残雪。
苏堤春晓是十景之最。
it was built by su dongpo， the great poet， during the north song dynasty.
苏东坡在杭州做官的时候，带领当地的人疏通西湖，用挖出的泥修了这座长堤。人们为了纪念苏东坡，就把这座堤坝叫做苏堤了。
this causeway (堤坝) is covered with peach and willow trees， as well as other flowers. when spring es，
苏堤就像一位报春的使者，桃花盛开，柳丝轻拂，十分美丽动人。
曲院风荷是西湖十景中的第二景。夏天正是赏荷的好季节。在这片景区中，
there are about one hundred kinds of lotuses.
水面上还有各种造型的小桥，人走在桥上，就好像在荷花中穿行一样。
so wonderful!
断桥是西湖所有的桥中名气最大的桥。
guess why it is so famous?
是因为许仙和白娘子的故事!
they met each other and fell in love at this place.
大雪过后，银装素裹的西湖分外美丽。当然，这是在冬天才能欣赏到的景色。

There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real!
生活中，有时强烈的思念使我们恨不得一把将所爱的人从梦中拽出来，紧紧地拥入 怀中。
Dream what you want to dream； go where you want to go； be what you want to be， because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.
做自我想做的梦；去自我想去的地方；做自我想做的人吧！因为你仅有一次生命、一 个机会做所有你想做的事情。
May you have enough happiness to make you sweet， enough trials to make you strong， enough sorrow to keep you human， enough hope to make you happy.
愿你有足够的欢乐，让自我甜蜜；有足够的考验，让自我坚强；有足够的悲伤，让自我 富有人情味；有足够的期望，让自我快乐。
Always put yourself in others’ shoes. If you feel that it hurt you， it probably hurts the other person， too.
要经常换位思维。一件事情，若是你感到对自我有伤害，就可能也对他人有伤害。
The happiest of people don’t necessarily have the best of everything； they just make the most of everything that es along their way.
最快乐的人并不必须是那些拥有最好东西的人，而是能够将得到的东西变得最好的人。
Happiness lies for those who cry， those who hurt， those who have searched， and those who have tried， for only they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives. Love begins with a smile， grows with a kiss and ends with a tear.

A man found a cocoon of a butterfly. One day， a small opening appeared； he sat and watched the cocoon for several hours as it struggled to force its body through that little hole. But it seemed to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could， and it could go no further.
一个人捡到一个蝴蝶茧。一天，茧上出现了一个小孔；他坐下观察了这茧几个小时。 茧内的蝴蝶奋力挣扎着让身体经过茧孔。可是，看起来没有什么进展。茧里的蝴蝶似乎 已经使尽了全部力气，再也钻不动了。
Then the man decided to help the butterfly， so he took a pair of scissors and snipped off the remaining bit of the cocoon. The butterfly then emerged easily. But it had a swollen body and small，shriveled wings.
于是这个人决定帮忙这只蝴蝶，他拿剪刀剪掉了茧的剩余部分。蝴蝶很容易就出来 了。可是它的身体臃肿，翅膀也萎缩了。
The man continued to watch the butterfly because he expected that at any moment the wings would enlarge and expand to be able to support the body， which would contract in time.
这个人继续观察着蝴蝶，他期望有那么一刻蝴蝶的翅膀会变大，张开支撑住身体，臃 肿的身体也会及时缩小。
Neither happened! In fact， the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a swollen body and shriveled wings. It never was able to fly.
什么都没有发生！事实上这只蝴蝶只能拖着臃肿的身体和萎缩的翅膀度过余生了。 它飞不起来。
What the man in his kindness and fast action didn’t understand was that the restricting cocoon and the struggle required for the butterfly to get through the tiny opening were nature’s way of forcing fluid from the body of the butterfly into its wings so that it would be ready for flight once it achieved freedom from the cocoon.
这个好心而性急的人没有明白的是，茧的束缚和蝴蝶经过小孔的奋力是把体内的营 养挤压到翅膀的天然方式，这样它破茧而出的时候就能够展翅而飞了。
Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our lives. If nature allowed us to go through our lives without any difficulties， it would weaken or even disable us.We would not be as strong as what we could have been and we could never fly.
有时候奋斗恰恰是我们生活所需要的。如果天然允许我们一帆风顺地度过一生，那 我们就会变得软弱甚至残疾。如果那样，我们就不会像我们能变成的那样强大，我们也永 远不能飞翔。
好的英语文章（五）：
Optimism and pessimism are both powerful forces，and each of us must choose which we want to shape our outlook and our expectations. There is enough good and bad in everyone's life-amplesorrow and happiness，sufficient joy and pain-to find a rational basis for either optimism or pessimism. We can choose to laugh or cry， bless or curse.It's our decision: From which perspective do we want to view life? Will we look up in hope or down in despair?
乐观与悲观是两种强大的力气，我们每个人都必须在这两者之间做出选择，从而塑造我们对未来的展望和期待。每个人的生命中都有足够多的幸与不幸—数不清的哀伤和喜悦，欢欣与痛苦—给我们乐观或悲观的合理理由。我们能够选择哭或是笑，祝福或是诅咒。这是我们的决定:我们选择用什么样的眼光去看待生活?是昂首去寻找期望抑或垂头在绝望中逡巡。
An optimistic attitude is not a luxury;it's a necessity.The way you look at life will determine how you feel，how you perform， and how well you will get along with other people.Conversely，negative thoughts， attitudes，and expectations feed on themselves; they bee a self-fulfilling prophecy.Pessimism creates a dismal place where no one wants to live.
乐观的态度不是一种奢侈品；它是我们生活的必需品。你看待生活的方式将决定你的感受、你的表现，以及你与他人相处得如何。反过来，悲观的想法、态度和预期也会自成因果：它们是能自我实现的预言。悲观会制造出无人愿往的黑暗处所。
Optimism diverts our attention away from negativism and channels it into positive， constructive thinking. When you're an optimist， you're more concerned with problem-solving than with useless carping about issues. In fact， without optimist， issues as big and ongoing as poverty have no hope of solution. It takes a dreamer-someone with hopelessly optimistic ideas， great persistence， and unlimited confidence-to tackle a problem that big. It's your choice.
乐观精神使我们的注意力从消极的否定态度转向进取的、建设性的思考。如果你是乐观主义者，你会更关心如何解决问题，而不是毫无意义地怨天尤人。事实上，如果没有乐观向上的精神，像贫穷这样沉重且持续存在的问题是没有期望解决的。解决这样的问题需要一个梦想家—一个拥有九死不悔的乐观精神、矢志不渝的坚韧态度和无限信心的人。乐观还是悲观，在于你自我的选择。

Once there was a great Sufi saint. In his last days， someone asked him about his master. Saint said， “Since you asked I will certainly tell you about three masters.”
以往有一位伟大的苏菲派(伊斯兰神秘主义派别的总称)圣人。在他生命快结束时，有人让他说说他的教师。圣人说：“既然你问了，我就给你讲讲我的三位教师。”
# Among three of them one master was a thief.
这三个人中有一个是小偷。
Once while wandering around in a desert I got lost and till I found a way and reached the village it was too late. Everything was closed and there was no one outside. At last I found a man who was trying to make hole in a wall. I asked him if I could find a place to stay. He replied that it will be difficult to find a place to stay at this time of night but you can stay with me， if it’s ok with you to stay with a thief. I stayed with him for a month.
以往有一次我在沙漠中迷路了，之后我找到一条路，走到村子时已经很晚了。所有店门都关了，外面一个人都没有。最终我发现有一个人正在墙上挖洞，我问他我能否找到一个歇脚的地方，他说这么晚了很难找到待的地方，但如果我愿意和小偷待在一齐的话我能够和他一齐。然后我和他一齐待了一个月。
Each night he would say to me that， “I am going to work. You can rest and pray.” When he came back I would ask him， “Did you get anything today?” He would reply， “No not tonight but tomorrow I will try again. God Willing.” Even after daily disappointment he never lost hope and he was always happy.
每一天晚上他都跟我说：“我要去工作了，你能够休息祈祷。”他回来时我会问他：“你今日有收获吗?”他回答说：“今晚没有收获，但明天我会再试试，上天保佑。”甚至在每一天都很失望的时候，他也从未失去期望，总是很开心。
When I was meditating for years and still nothing changed， many moments came when I would get so desperate and hopeless that I thought of leaving all this and then suddenly I would remember words of that thief that， “God willing， Tomorrow it is going to happen. ”
我冥想好多年仍没进展时，有好多次我都很绝望，看不到一丝期望，我想过要放下所有，但我会突然想起那个小偷的话：“上天保佑，明天梦想就能实现。”
# Second master was a dog
第二位教师是一只狗
Once I was going along side of a river， there I saw a dog who was very thirsty. I saw that as dog looked into river to drink water， it saw his own image and got afraid. Seeing his own reflection dog barked and ran away. But because dog was too thirsty he would e back. This happened many time but finally despite his fear， dog jumped into water.
有一次我沿着河边走，看见一只狗很渴。每次这只狗看向水里想要喝水时，它都会看见自我的倒影，很害怕。看着自我的倒影狗就叫着跑开。但它实在太渴了，还得回来。这样重复了好多次，但最终虽然仍然恐惧，但它跳进了河里。
Seeing this I knew that it was a message from God. It means that one has to go forward despite all of his fears.
看到这些，我明白了这是上帝的暗示，意思是一个人要战胜所有恐惧勇往直前。
# Third master was a little boy
第三位教师是一个小男孩
As I entered a town I saw a little kid carrying a lit candle in his hands. I asked him， “Have you lit this candle yourself? ” He replied， “Yes sir.” I said， “There was time when candle was not lit and when it was lit but can you show me the source from which light came?” Boy laughed and blew out the candle and said ，”You have seen light go? Can you tell me where it had gone?? ”
我走进一个小镇时看到一个小孩儿手里拿着一支点燃的蜡烛。我问他：“这支蜡烛是你自我点的吗?”他说：“是的，先生。”我说：“有时蜡烛不亮，有时却亮，你能告诉我光亮是从哪里来的吗?”小男孩笑着把蜡烛吹灭了，说：“你看见光亮消失了吧?你能告诉我它去哪儿了吗?”
Boy continued， “Ok， I will tell you it had returned to the source.” This shattered my ego and at that moment I felt how stupid I was. And since then I just dropped all my Knowledge-ability.
小男孩继续说道：“好吧，我告诉你它回到了来的地方。”我的自负荡然无存，那时我想自我多愚蠢啊。从那时起，我放下了自我所有的小聪明。
I had no master but this doesn’t means that I was not a disciple. I accepted this whole universe， whole existence as my master.
我没有教师，但这不代表我没有在学习。我把整个宇宙、所有存在都视为自我的教师。
Moral: In this world there are millions of source and you can Learn from Every Possible Source. With a Master you start Learning to learn.
道理：在这个世界上，有很多东西值得学习，你能够从很多事情上学到东西。你要找到自我的教师，学会如何去学习。

黄昏之美
Looking into the sunset I can't help but notice
that despite her beauty，
a sense of struggle and hopeless surround the sky .
Deep inside you realize that this day is gone，
and everything that It had brought is lost forever.
Every thought，every action，every dream，every hope，
every sight，every sound is gone.
There is no chance of every being returned the same，
exactly the same.
For every moment has a limit to what it can capture，
Every memory has a limit to what it had retrieve.
凝望夕阳，我无法抑止地看到，
无论她是如何的美丽动人，
挣扎和绝望依然萦绕天幕，
内心深处，你明白今日已逝，
它所带来的一切也永久消失了，
每一脉思想，每一次行动，每一个梦想，每一线期望，
每一幅景象，每一缕声音，都消逝而去，
一切都不可能还复如初，
和原先一模一样，
只因每一个时刻所能捕捉的东西是有限的，
甚至每一段记忆所能缅怀的一切也是有限的。
And the colours in the sky try to entertain us.
one last act with painted smiles，
for they too know that nothing can be done to save the day.
So futile their attempt to fort our fear of the night.
our horror as we try to find our way，
like children who wanderinto a forest and never return.
I am ingratiatedby the sunset because of
her sensitivity as she tries to push the darkness
back for just a moment more.
But like so many times before....to no avail!
而天空中的绮丽色彩奋力让我们欢乐起来，
最终上演的是五彩缤纷的微笑，
因为它们也知晓，做什么都无法留住时日，
它们想安慰我们对夜的恐惧，而又如此徒劳无益，
虽然恐惧，我们依然寻找出路，
宛若在林中的孩心，彷徨不知归路，
我满心欢喜，只因夕阳的敏感，
她竭力将黑暗推回，仅仅为了再多驻留一刻，
可却犹如以往，一切都无济于事....

Collecting
People tend to amass possessions， sometimes without being aware of doing so. Indeed they can have a delightful surprise when they find something useful which they did not know they owned. Those who never have to move house bee indiscriminate collectors of what can only be described as clutter. They leave unwanted objects in drawers， cupboards and attics for years， in the belief that they may one day need just those very things. As they grow old， people also accumulate belongings for two other reasons， lack of physical and mental energy， both of which are essential in turning out and throwing away， and sentiment. Things owned for a long time are full associations with the past， perhaps with relatives who are dead， and so they gradually acquire a value beyond their true worth.
Some things are collected deliberately in the home in an attempt to avoid waste. Among these I would list string and brown paper， kept by thrifty people when a parcel has been opened， to save buying these two requisites. Collecting small items can easily bee a mania. I know someone who always cuts sketches out from newspapers of model clothes that she would like to buy if she had the money. As she is not rich， the chances that she will ever be able to afford such purchases are remote; but she is never sufficiently strong-minded to be able to stop the practice. It is a harmless bait， but it litters up her desk to such an extent that every time she opens it， loose bits of paper fall out in every direction.
Collecting as a serous hobby is quite different and has many advantages. It provides relaxation for leisure hours， as just looking at one's treasures is always a joy. One does not have to go outside for amusement， since the collection is housed at home. Whatever it consists of， stamps， records， first editions of books china， glass， antique furniture， pictures， model cars， stuffed birds， toy animals， there is always something to do in connection with it， from finding the right place for the latest addition， to verifying facts in reference books. This hobby educates one not only in the chosen subject， but also in general matters which have some bearing on it. There are also other benefits. One wants to meet like-minded collectors， to get advice， to pare notes， to exchange articles， to show off the latest find. So one's circle of friends grows. Soon the hobby leads to travel， perhaps to a meeting in another town， possibly a trip abroad in search of a rare specimen， for collectors are not co
nfined to any one country. Over the years， one may well bee a authority on one's hobby and will very probably be asked to give informal talks to little gatherings and then， if successful， to larger audiences. In this way self-confidence grows， first from mastering a subject， then from being able to take about it. Collecting， by occupying spare time so constructively， makes a person contented， with no time for boredom.
人们喜欢收藏东西，有时并没有意识到自我在这样做。确实，一旦无意之中从自我的收藏品中找到某件有用的东西时，能够给人一种惊喜的感觉。那些从来不必搬家的人们成了一种无所无容的收藏家。他们专门收藏那些只能被称作杂货的东西。他们在抽屉里，碗柜中、阁楼上堆放着一些不用的东西，一放就是好几年，相信总有一天需要的正好是那些东西。人们年老之后也喜欢收藏东西，可是是出于两个不一样的原因：一是体力，精力均告不佳，这二者是清除无用的东西必不可少的因素;另一原因是感情因素。东西搁得时光久了，便会充满着与过去岁月的联系，比方说与死去的亲戚有关。所以这些东西慢慢获得了一种超出它本身的价值。
居家度日，有目的地收藏某些东西是为了防止浪费。这些东西中我想举出线绳和包装纸为例。节俭的人们打开包裹后便把这两样必备的东西收藏起来。省得日后去买。收集小玩艺儿很容易着迷。我认识一个人，她总喜欢从报纸上剪下流行服装的图样，等以后有钱时去买服装。由于她并不富裕，她买得起这些服装的可能性十分渺茫。但她又缺乏足够坚强的意志把这一收集活动停下来。这种习惯无害，只把写字台里堆得满满当当，以致每次打开抽屉总能带出许多纸片四处飞扬。
作为一种严肃的业余爱好的收藏活动完全是另外一回事，它具有许多益处。它能够使人在闲暇中得到休息，因为欣赏自我收藏的珍品总会充满了乐趣。人们不必走到户外去寻求娱乐，因为收藏品都是存放在家中。不管收藏品是什么，邮票、唱片、头版书籍、瓷器、玻璃杯、老式家具、绘画、模型汽车、鸟类标本，还是玩具动物，从为新增添的收藏品寻找摆放位置到核对参考书中的事实，总归有事可做。这种爱好不仅仅能使人从选择的专题中受到教育，并且也能从与之有关的一般事物中获得长进。除此之外，还有其他的益处。收藏者要会见情趣相投的收藏者，以获取教益，交流经验、交换收藏品，炫耀自我的最新收藏。朋友的圈子就这样不断扩大。用不了多久，有这种爱好的人便开始旅行，也许是去另一个城市参加会议，也可能是出国寻找一件珍品，因为收藏家是不分国籍的。一人积了多年经验会成为自我这种爱好的权威，很可能应邀在小型集会上作非正式的讲话。如果讲得好，可能向更多人发表演说。这样，你自信心不断增强，先是因为掌握一门学问，接下来是因为能够就此发表见解。收藏活动经过富有建设性地利用业余时光使人感到心满意足，不再有无聊之日。

Too early and too late太早和太晚
Punctuality is a necessary habit in all public affairs in civilized society. Without it， nothing could ever be brought to a conclusion; everything would be in state of chaos. Only in a sparsely-populated rural munity is it possible to disregard it. In ordinary living， there can be some tolerance of unpunctuality. The intellectual， who is working on some abstruse problem， has everything coordinated and organized for the matter in hand. He is therefore forgiven if late for a dinner party. But people are often reproached for unpunctuality when their only fault is cutting things fine. It is hard for energetic， quick-minded people to waste time， so they are often tempted to finish a job before setting out to keep an appointment. If no accidents occur on the way， like punctured tires， diversions of traffic， sudden descent of fog， they will be on time. They are often more industrious， useful citizens than those who are never late. The over-punctual can be as much a trial to others as the unpunctual. The g
uest who arrives half an hour too soon is the greatest nuisance. Some friends of my family had this irritating habit. The only thing to do was ask them to e half an hour later than the other guests. Then they arrived just when we wanted them.
If you are citing a train， it is always better to be fortably early than even a fraction of a minted too late. Although being early may mean wasting a little time， this will be less than if you miss the train and have to wait an hour or more for the next one; and you avoid the frustration of arriving at the very moment when the train is drawing out of the station and being unable to get on it. An even harder situation is to be on the platform in good time for a train and still to see it go off without you. Such an experience befell a certain young girl the first time she was traveling alone.
She entered the station twenty minutes before the train was due， since her parents had impressed upon her that it would be unforgivable to miss it and cause the friends with whom she was going to stay to make two journeys to meet her. She gave her luggage to a porter and showed him her ticket. To her horror he said that she was two hours too soon. She felt inhere handbag for the piece of paper on which her father had written down al the details of the journey and gave it to the porter. He agreed that a train did e into the station at the time on the paper and that it did stop， but only to take on mail， not passengers. The girl asked to see a timetable， feeling sure that her father could not have made such a mistake. The porter went to fetch one and arrive back with the station master， who produced it with a flourish and pointed out a microscopic 'o' beside the time of the arrival of the train at his station; this little 'o' indicated that the train only stopped for mail. Just as that moment the train cam
e into the station. The girl， tears streaming down her face， begged to be allowed to slip into the guard's van. But the station master was adamant: rules could not be broken and she had to watch that train disappear towards her destination while she was left behind.
准时是礼貌社会中进行一切社交活动时必须养成的习惯。不准时将一事无成，事事都会陷入混乱不堪的境地。仅有在人口稀少的农村，才能够忽视准时的习惯。在日常生活中人们能够容忍必须程度的不准时。一个专心钻研某个复杂问题的知识分子，为了搞好手头的研究，要把一切都协调一致，组织周密。所以，他要是赴宴迟到了会得到谅解。但有些人不准时常常因为掐钟点所致，他们常常受到责备，精力充沛、头脑敏捷的人极不愿意浪费时光，所以他们常想做完一件事后再去赴约。要是路上没有发生如爆胎、改道、突然起雾等意外事故，他们决不会迟到。他们与那些从不迟到的人相比，常常是更勤奋有用的公民。早到的人同迟到的人一样令人厌恶。客人提前半小时到达是令人厌恶的。我家有几个朋友就有这有令人恼火的习惯。唯一的办法就是请他们比别的客人晚来半小时。这样，他们能够恰好在我们要求的时光到达。
如果赶火车，早到总比晚到好，哪怕早到一会儿也好。虽然早到可能意味着浪费一点时光，但这比误了火车等上一个多小时坐下班车浪费的时光要少，并且能够避免那种正好在火车驶出站时赶到车站，因上不去车而感到的沮丧。更难堪的情景是虽然及时赶到站台上，却眼睁睁地看着那趟火车启动，把你抛下。一个小姑娘第一次单独出门就碰到了这种情景。
在火车进站20分钟前她就进了车站。因为她的父母再三跟她说，如果误了这趟车，她的东道主朋友就得接她两趟，这是不应当的。她把行李交给搬运工并给他看了车票。搬运工说她早到了两个小时，她听后大吃一惊。她从钱包里摸出一张纸条，那上头有她父亲对这次旅行详细说明，她把这张纸条交给了搬运工。搬运工说，正如纸条所说，确有一趟火车在那个时刻到站，但它只停站装邮件，不载旅客。姑娘要求看到时刻表，因为她相信父亲不能把这么大的事弄错。搬运工跑回去取时刻表，同时请来了站长。站长拿着时刻表一挥手，指着那趟列车到站时刻旁边一个很小的圆圈标记。这个标记表示列车是为装邮件而停车。正在这时，火车进站了。女孩泪流满面，央求让她不声不响地到押车员车厢里去算了。但站长态度坚决，规章制度不能破坏，姑娘只得眼看那趟火车消逝在她要去的方向而撇下了她。

On College Societies
Walking on campus， you always find that you are surrounded by enonnous posters for college societies.There are various organizations catering for students different interests，sucb as Football Club，tbe Guitar Society，the Pop Music Society，and Society of photograpbers，and the Volunteers Society，etc.
The reason why some students are so entbusiastic about college societies is mainly that they can obtain what they cant get from classrooms.Moreover，in tbe societies，students will develop their interests and talents，and gain opportunity to municate with others， which can help them grow into men or women of all-round development.
Taking all tbe above into consideration，I think it is advisable for students to participate in some societies.Out-of-class activities can help them relax after hard work and add enjoyment and excitement to their campus life.Besides，college societies provide students with opportunities to contact witb more people and prepare tbem for life outside campus. Apart from outstanding acadernic acbievements，the modem society requires of young students many qualities，such as being cooperative，innovative， responsible and the students participating in college societies is a practical approach for their prehensive development.(188 words)

Thoughts and Actions
Some people go through life standing at the excuse counter.
They say they’d like to do this or that， but then they offer all the excuses in the world for why they can’t do whatever it is. No matter what the excuses are， the only thing that is usually limiting them is their own self-perception.
If I’ve learned anything， I’ve learned that a person —any person —may do anything they set their mind on doing. The things you need are willingness to work for what you want， patience to learn what you need to know and， most important of all， belief in yourself. You only need a seed， and then your faith in yourself will grow with you as you move forward.
If your self-perception is that you can’t acplish something because you’re not smart enough， then take the time to learn what you need to know， and then your self-perception will change.
If your self-perception is that you can’t acplish something because you never finish anything you start， then go and finish something and change your self- perception.
If your self-perception is that you’re too lazy， too busy， too unworthy， too unfocused， too depressed， or too dependent on others to acplish great things， then you’re right. You are that because you believe you are， but in fact， you can change that! Life is change， and the past doesn’t equal the future. Your reality today is the result of your past beliefs and actions. Change your beliefs and actions， and you will change your future. Whether you think you can or you can’t， you’re right. You are what you think.
Think about that the next time you need an excuse.
翻译：思想与行动
有些人的一生都在借口中度过。
他们总是说喜欢这喜欢那，只是随之给出各种理由来解释他为什么没能去做。但无论是什么借口，唯一能限制他们行为的通常只是他们的自我认知。
如果说我确实明白了一些事情，那就是了解了一个人，任何一个人，几乎能够做成任何事情，只要他们下决心去做。你需要的只是为梦想而奋斗的意愿、为学习必要知识的耐心，可是最重要的是你的自信。你只需播下一粒梦想的.种子，你的信念将会随着你一齐长大。
如果你自认为是因不够聪明而不能完成某件事情，那么就花些时光去学习所需要的知识，这样，你的自我认知就会改变。
如果你自认为你不能完成某件事情常常是因为半途而废，那么就去做完它，将这种自我认知彻底改变。
如果你自认为是因太懒惰、太忙、太卑微、太不专心、太消沉、太依靠别人而不能做成大事，那么你是对的。英语短文你确实是这样，因为你自我就是这样认为的。但事实上你能够改变。生活无时无刻不在变化，过去不等于未来。你的此刻正是你过去所想所做的必然结果。改变你的信念和行动，成就你的将来。如果你认为你能或不能做什么，那么你是对的，因为正是你的思想造就了你。

Western Fast Food
Fast food is being more and more popular in China， especially among children and teenagers. Today， nothing is more representative of the fast pace of modern society than fast food.
There are several reasons for its popularity. For one thing， it is fast and convenient. Go into a fast food restaurant， and your food will be ready in a minute. Precious time won’t be wasted in waiting-in-line to order or waiting at your table for your food to arrive. For another， its popularity is also attributed to the clean food， the excellent service and the fortable environment of the fast food restaurants， and American style.
However， I think that fast food isn’t healthy enough because it doesn’t pose a balanced diet and is low in nutrition. Fast food is only a good choice when you are in a hurry and we should turn to it only once in a while.

When I was a young boy in Santa Cruz， California I used to help my Grandfather in the fields by his home. This was not his land but back in those days it was not unusual to barter with the neighbours to worked it for them so he could grow the vegetables that he loved. He would then share them with the neighbour for payment. He grew corn， beans， peas， zucchini， cucumbers and garlic. And nobody could grow bigger dahlias than my Grandfather.
在我很小的时候，我的祖父家住在加利福尼亚的圣克鲁斯城，我常常去祖父家附近的田地里帮他干农活。尽管那块田地是属于祖父的邻居，但在那个时候，邻居之间作实物交易是很常见的，所以祖父也能在那块田地种上自我喜爱的农作物。而作为报酬，在收割时祖父就与邻居们一同分享果实。祖父通常种植玉米、大豆、豌 豆、南瓜、黄瓜和大蒜。祖父的农艺很高超，就连他种的大丽花长得也要比邻居们种的高大许多。
As I worked along side him he used to love to tell this story of a named Giuseppe (Joe) and his wife who moved to a new farm with their three sons. They were settling into the new munity when a nearby farmer told Joe that there was gold in the dirt of his new property. Joe took that statement as that there was actual gold in the land. He thought to himself， "I have three healthy sons， I will tell them about it". Indeed he told his sons that there was gold to be found in their new property. Needless to say his sons actually took charge of their personal enterprise right on their own land. They had visions of what they would do when they found gold. Each son had a different vision. For as young as they were， they set up quite a professional approach in the digging for gold.
当我在一旁帮祖父干农活时，他总爱给我讲一个名叫乔的一家人的故事。故事是这样的:乔带着妻子和他们的三个儿子搬到了一个新的农场。当乔一家人住进一个新杜区以后，附近的一位农夫告诉乔说他的地里有黄金。乔昕后以为这片土地有真的黄金存在，就在心里暗想我有三个健壮的儿子，我应当把这件事告诉他们。"于是，乔告诉他的儿子说，在他们家的这块新地产上能够找到黄金。不必说，他的儿子们立刻去地里挖掘黄金了，就好像把这件事当成了自我的事业一样。他们幻想着找到黄金以后去做什么，但每一个人都有各自不一样的梦想。因为他们如此年轻，还提出一个相当专业的挖掘黄金的方法。
They began in one corner with a certain width and kept going until they got to the end. Once they got to the property line they would start another swath and go back the other direction. They began to realize that digging for gold was fun! This procedure went on for about six months and they still weren through going through the whole property.
他们先从一个角落开始挖掘，并以特定的一个宽度继续向前挖，一向挖到这块土地的尽头。他们渐渐觉得挖掘黄金这件事充满了无穷的乐趣!就这样不知不觉，他们连续挖了六个月，仍然陶醉在拥有黄金以后的美梦里。
Meanwhile Joe thought he would plant some crops in the area where the dirt had been turned thoroughly. He planted corn， tomatoes， potatoesand onions. His sons continued to dig through the soil， determined to find gold. As more dirt was available. Joe planted more crops. An interesting point here is that Joe had never farmed before but it had always been a dream of his to do so.
与此同时，乔有了新的想法，他打算在这些彻底翻新过的土地上种一些农作物。于是，他开始种玉米、西虹柿、马铃薯和洋葱。而他的儿子们仍在这块土地上继续不停地挖掘着，一心想找到黄金。随着可利用的土地越来越多，乔的农作物也越种越多。趣味的是，乔以前从来不会种田，那似乎是他所不敢想象的，然而此刻他却做到了。
As each different crop became ready to be harvested Joe started to realize that there was more than he and his family could ever eat. One of Joes neighbours suggested that he set Up a vegetable stand. Joe and his wife did that very thing. They called it Joe and Family Vegetables. Joe even had to leave some crops on the ground because he had more than enough to meet the demands at the vegetable stand.
当各种农作物快要收割的时候，乔意识到这要比他一家人所需要的食物多得多。这时乔的一位邻居提议他在地里设立一个蔬菜区用来出售。于是乔和妻子昕取了他的意见，并把它称为乔家蔬菜。乔在蔬菜区留了足够多的'蔬菜，以满足顾客的需求。
What were Joes sons doing in the meantime? They were still working the land even after they had finished the entire parcel. They started once again in the original corner. working in the leftover plant material while they were still on their quest to find gold.
那么与此同时，乔的儿子们在做什么呢?他们仍然在这块土地上挖掘着黄金，甚至当所有的土壤都被翻过以后。他们在起初的角落里又重新挖了起来，而这时地里的庄稼已经收割完，他们在这块留有农作物残枝败叶的土地上仍然继续追逐着他们的黄金梦。
This process went on for years and Joe and his wife became quite wealthy from their little vegetable stand. They were even able to send their sons off to college simply because they wanted to find gold.
几年过去了，乔和妻子靠着他们的那块蔬菜地，已经变得相当富有。他们甚至能供得起儿子去上大学，而不想再看到他们的儿子只想着挖黄金。
Remember at the beginning of the story when Joe was told by his new neighbour that there was gold in the land? Well， the truth is. Joes understanding of the English language was less than perfect. His new neighbour friend actually told him that his land had rich soil. So you can see where the concept of gold came In.
再让我们回顾一下故事的开头，不正是乔的新邻居告诉他地里出黄金的吗?然而，事实上是乔对英国的语言理解得还不够透彻。他的新邻居其实是说他那块土地有肥沃的土壤，所以你应当明白黄金的概念来自哪儿了吧。
Did Joes sons bee slaves to the digging? No， they were inspired because they had visions of what money could do for them and did not focus on the money itself.
乔的儿子们成为挖掘土地的奴隶了吗?不，他们只是一昧地幻想着金钱能为他们做什么，并被无数个幻想所激励，但从未研究过获取金钱的正确途径。
Is there.a way we can take this story to a higher level? Yes. the Universe provides us opportunity and sometimes dangles the carrot to inspire us. In essence. Joes sons were inspired with the possibility of finding gold in the soil. Some of you Im sure will draw your own meaning. but here is one to consider. Go out and pretend that there is gold in all your challenges and setbacks so that you can be inspired to motivate yourself to allow the Universe to provide all that you need and then some.
我们对这个故事是否能够有一个更深刻的理解呢?答案是肯定的，这个世界供给给我们的机会有很多，然而，有时候上天对我们的这些赏赐又是悬而未定的。事实上，乔的儿子们是被在土壤里找到黄金的这种可能性所激励。我相信，每一个人对此都有自我不一样的理解，但有一点是值得大家借鉴的。应对挑战与挫折时，假设它们当中也有"黄金让它激励着你勇敢向前，让这个世界为你创造出你所需要的一切。

A Better Tomorrow
People often wonder why historians go to so much trouble to preserve millions of books， documents and records.
Why do we have libraries? What good are these documents and history books? Why do we record and save the actions of men， the negotiations1 of government officials and the events during wars?
We do it because， sometimes， the voice of experience can cause us to stop， look and listen. Sometimes， past records， when understood in the right way， can help us decide what to do and what not to do. If we are ever to create lasting peace， we must seek its origins in human experience and in the records of human history.
From the stories of courage and devotion of men and women， we create the inspirations of youth. History records the suffering， the self-denial2， the devotion， and the heroic deeds of people in the past. These records can help us when we are confused and when we really need peace.
The main purpose of history is to create a better world. History gives a warning to those who promote war， and inspiration to those who seek peace.
In short， history helps us learn. Yesterday’s records can keep us from repeating yesterday’s mistakes. And from the pieces of mosaic4 assembled5 by historians e the great murals6 which represent the progress of mankind.

Night after night， she came to tuck me in， even long after my childhood years. Following her longstanding custom， shed lean down and push my long hair out of the way， then kiss my forehead. I dont remember when it first started annoying me — her hands pushing my hair that way. But it did annoy me， for they felt work-worn and rough against my young skin. Finally， one night， I shouted out at her， "Dont do that anymore —your hands are too rough!" She didnt say anything in reply. But never again did my mother close out my day with that familiar expression of her love. Time after time， with the passing years， my thoughts returned to that night. By then I missed my mothers hands， missed her goodnight kiss on my forehead. Sometimes the incident seemed very close， sometimes far away. But always it lurked， in the back of my mind. Well， the years have passed， and Im not a little girl anymore. Mom is in her mid-seventies， and those hands I once thought to be so rough are still doing things for me and m
y family. Shes been our doctor， reaching into a medicine cabinet for the remedy to calm a young girls stomach or soothe the boys scraped knee. She cooks the best fried chicken in the world... gets stains out of blue jeans like I never could... Now， my own children are grown and gone. Mom no longer has Dad， and on special occasions， I find myself drawn next door to spend the night with her. So it was late on Thanksgiving Eve， as I slept in the bedroom of my youth， a familiar hand hesitantly run across my face to brush the hair from my forehead. Then a kiss， ever so gently， touched my brow. In my memory， for the thousandth time， I recalled the night my young voice plained， "Dont do that anymore — your hands are too rough!" Catching Moms hand in hand， I blurted out how sorry I was for that night. I thought shed remember， as I did. But Mom didnt know what I was talking about. She had forgotten — and forgiven — long ago. That night， I fell asleep with a new appreciation for my gentle mother and he

The campus，which is believed to be a place for students to gain knowledge，but as the world gets globalized，many business centers have moved into the campus.Students enjoy the mercial environment，but some people think that the mercial environment will have negative effect to the students.I think the campus should be pure.
On the one hand，campus is the place for students to learn the knowledge.The school should create the environment which is suitable for the students to study.Such as the school can open the shops to sell the books，or the things which are related to the study.
On the other hand，the mercial centers will distract students’ attention from their study.The shop，the theater and other shops have built in some campus，it makes the students can’t focus their minds，they just want to finish their class and then go shopping.The original purpose has been forgotten by the students.
Though the mercialize of campus brings students convenience，it is not suitable to let those shops open，students’ main duty is to study and the mercialize will interfere them.
大学学校，被人们认为是学生学习知识的地方，可是随着全球化，很多商业中心搬进了学校。学生享受着商业环境，可是一些人觉得商业环境会给学生带来负面影响。我觉得学校应当要纯净。
一方面，大学学校是学生学习知识的地方。学校应当创造适合学生学习的`环境。比如学校能够开卖书的店，或者卖和学习有关的东西。
另一方面，商业中心会让学生从学习上分心。商店，电影院和其他的店在一些学校已经建立了，这让学生无法集中精神，他们会想要快点上完课，然后去购物。学生忘记了他们上学的初衷。
虽然学校的商业化给学生带来了方便，可是让这些店开在学校里是不适宜的，学生的主要任务是学习，商业化会干扰他们。

Why Studying History Matters?
Studying a subject that you feel pointless is never a fun or easy task. If youre study history， asking yourself the question "why is history important" is a very good first step. History is an essential part of human civilization. You will find something here that will arouse your interest， or get you thinking about the significance of history.
History grounds us in our roots. History is an important and interesting field of study， and learning the history of our home country can give us a deeper， more meaningful glimpse into our ancestral pasts， and how we got to where we are today. Many people feel like they need a sense of cultural belonging， which is something that studying your roots and being open-minded to the evolution of your culture can provide.
History enriches our experience. Reading history is an amazing experience because it enables us to reflect on the social and economic life of the people living long time ago.
According to the experts， problems faced by people regardless of the past and present are the same. With the information about the ancestors， one can bee more experienced in handling challenges of life.
History makes us more empathetic. Studying history can give us insight into why our culture does certain things， and how the past has shaped it into what we know now. It also provides a rather strong foundation， for empathy across cultures. Fear and hate for others is usually caused by ignorance. We re scared of the things that we dont understand. History has the potential to break down those boundaries by offering us insight into entire worlds that would otherwise be foreign to us.
History can inspire us to learn more. Whats fantastic about history is the way it broadens our horizons. Its almost impossible to learn about one historical period without having dozens of questions about related concepts. Study the 19th century England， and you might catch a glimpse of Charles Dickens Oliver Twist. Look up Charles Dickens， and you might learn a thing or two about realism. Or maybe you end up switching your attention away from novels， and discover the history of romantic poets in England. It can go anywhere， and there is something in there for absolutely anybody. The value of history cannot be underestimated. We dont have to live in the past， but we can definitely do better by learning from it and using the lessons learned to lead more meaningful lives.
为何学习历史很重要？
学习一门你觉得毫无意义的学科，从来都不是一件趣味或简便的事情。如果你要学习历史，问自我一个问题 “历史为什么重要 ”是十分好的第一步。历史是人类礼貌的重要组成部分。你会在那里找到一些能引起你兴趣的东西，或者让你思考历史的意义。
历史让我们扎根于此。历史是一个重要而趣味的研究领域，学习我们祖国的历史能够让我们更深入、更有意义地了解我们祖先的过去，以及我们是如何走到今日的。很多人觉得自我需要一种文化归属感，而学习自我的根，对文化的演变持开放的态度，就能够供给这种归属感。
历史丰富了我们的经验。阅读历史是一种奇妙的体验，因为它能让我们思考生活在很久以前的人们的社会和经济生活。
专家认为，无论过去还是此刻，人们所面临的问题都是一样的。经过了解祖先的信息，能够让人更有经验地处理生活中的挑战。
历史让我们更有同理心。学习历史能够让我们深入了解为什么我们的文化会做某些事情，以及过去是如何把它塑造成此刻的样貌。它也为跨文化的同理心供给了相当坚实的基础。对他人的恐惧和仇恨通常是由无知引起的.。我们害怕那些我们不了解的东西。历史有可能打破这些界限，为我们供给对整个世界的洞察力，否则我们将感到陌生。
历史能够激励我们去学习更多的东西。历史的奇妙之处在于它能拓宽我们的视野。学习一个历史时期，几乎不可能不对相关的概念产生几十个问题。研究19世纪的英国，你可能会瞥见查尔斯-狄更斯的《雾都孤儿》。了解查尔斯-狄更斯，你可能会学到一两个关于现实主义的东西。或者，也许你最终会把注意力从小说中转移出来，发现英国浪漫主义诗人的历史。它能够去任何地方，有什么东西在那里绝对是任何人。历史的价值不可低估。我们不必活在过去，但我们必须能够做得更好，从过去的历史中学习，用学到的经验过更有意义的生活。

A Little Bit More
Today is an excellent day for small improvements. Whatever is working for you， find a way to improve it just a little. There’s no need to make a huge change， just a small one， something you can do right now.
If you called just one additional customer each day， over the course of the next month you would talk to about 20 new people. If you learned just one more new word each day， in the next year you would increase your vocabulary by more than 300 words.
Small improvements can add up over time into big acplishments. Look around you. Consider the work you do each day. Think about how you could do it just a little bit better.
In a marathon race， each step the winner takes is just a little bit longer and a little bit faster than each stride taken by the 100th place finisher. Yet over the course of the race， that small difference adds up in a big way.
Do just a little bit more today， and tomorrow too， and each day after that. Anyone can make just a small improvement， and that can make a big， big difference.

Thoughts and Actions
Some people go through life standing at the excuse counter.
They say they’d like to do this or that， but then they offer all the excuses in the world for why they can’t do whatever it is. No matter what the excuses are， the only thing that is usually limiting them is their own self-perception.
If I’ve learned anything， I’ve learned that a person —any person —may do anything they set their mind on doing. The things you need are willingness to work for what you want， patience to learn what you need to know and， most important of all， belief in yourself. You only need a seed， and then your faith in yourself will grow with you as you move forward.
If your self-perception is that you can’t acplish something because you’re not smart enough， then take the time to learn what you need to know， and then your self-perception will change.
If your self-perception is that you can’t acplish something because you never finish anything you start， then go and finish something and change your self- perception.
If your self-perception is that you’re too lazy， too busy， too unworthy， too unfocused， too depressed， or too dependent on others to acplish great things， then you’re right. You are that because you believe you are， but in fact， you can change that! Life is change， and the past doesn’t equal the future. Your reality today is the result of your past beliefs and actions. Change your beliefs and actions， and you will change your future. Whether you think you can or you can’t， you’re right. You are what you think.
Think about that the next time you need an excuse.
翻译：思想与行动
有些人的一生都在借口中度过。
他们总是说喜欢这喜欢那，只是随之给出各种理由来解释他为什么没能去做。但无论是什么借口，唯一能限制他们行为的通常只是他们的自我认知。
如果说我确实明白了一些事情，那就是了解了一个人，任何一个人，几乎能够做成任何事情，只要他们下决心去做。你需要的只是为梦想而奋斗的意愿、为学习必要知识的耐心，可是最重要的是你的自信。你只需播下一粒梦想的种子，你的信念将会随着你一齐长大。
如果你自认为是因不够聪明而不能完成某件事情，那么就花些时光去学习所需要的知识，这样，你的自我认知就会改变。
如果你自认为你不能完成某件事情常常是因为半途而废，那么就去做完它，将这种自我认知彻底改变。
如果你自认为是因太懒惰、太忙、太卑微、太不专心、太消沉、太依靠别人而不能做成大事，那么你是对的。英语短文你确实是这样，因为你自我就是这样认为的。但事实上你能够改变。生活无时无刻不在变化，过去不等于未来。你的此刻正是你过去所想所做的必然结果。改变你的信念和行动，成就你的将来。如果你认为你能或不能做什么，那么你是对的，因为正是你的思想造就了你。

有两个贫苦的樵夫靠上山捡柴糊口，有一天，他们在山里发现两大包棉花，两人喜出望外。棉花轻且贵，当下俩人各背了一包棉花赶路回家。
There once were two poor woodsmen who made a living by collecting woods in the mountain. One day， they happened to discover two large bag of cotton in the mountain and felt surprisingly happy. The cotton was light but valuable， so they carried it on their back and went back home.
走着走着，其中一名樵夫眼尖，看到山路上扔着一大捆布，他就和同伴商量。扔下棉花，背布回家。他的同伴却有不一样的看法，认为自我背着棉花已走了一大段，到了那里丢下棉花，岂不枉费了先前的辛苦，坚持不愿换布。发现布的樵夫则尽其所能背起布走。又走了一段路，背布的樵夫望见不远处的地上散落着数坛黄金。心想这下真的发财了，赶忙用挑柴的扁担挑黄金。他的同伴仍是不愿丢下棉花，并怀疑黄金不是真的`。发现黄金的樵夫只好自我挑了两坛黄金，和背棉花的伙伴赶紧回家。
When they were walking home， one of the woodsmen spotted a large bundle of cloth beside the road. So he discussed with his partner whether to discard the cotton and take the cloth instead. But his partner held a different view that since he had carried the cotton for such a long way， he would not change it with cloth because all his previous effort would turn out to be in vain. Therefore， the other woodsman abandoned the cotton and carried the cloth on his back. After walking for a while， the woodsman who carried the cloth spotted several jars of gold disseminated on the ground not far away. He felt so thrilled that he was going to be a wealthy man. So he gave up the cloth and used his carrying pole to carry two jars of gold， while his partner was still reluctant to abandon the cotton and wondering whether the gold was real or not.
谁明白刚走到山下。天竟下起雨来，俩人在空旷处被淋了个透。更为不幸的是，背棉花的樵夫背上的棉花，吸饱了雨水。重得背不动，实在不得已，只能丢下一路辛苦舍不得放下的棉花，空着手和挑金子的同伴回家去了。
However， when they just went down to the foot of the mountain， it began to rain all of a sudden. Both of them were wet from head to toes. More unfortunately， the woodsman who carried the cotton found that his cotton had absorbed tons of water and became so heavy that he could no longer go on carrying it. Desperately， he had to abandon the cotton and went back home empty-handed with his partner carrying gold.
