Day 1 A Courageous Leader 勇敢的领袖

A Courageous Leader

下面是一段人物描写。这段文字围绕courageous leader 这个中心展开，文中的转折连词（but，despite，though）起到了很好的衔接作用。

Koffi Annan has a tough job. As Secretary-General of the United Nations, he has made it his goal to fight against poverty, disease and war in the world. He has called upon the nations of the world to step in and try to solve these problems together. In Annan’s view, seeing a crime and failing to prevent it is as bad as committing the crime. He believes that the idea that states can do as they please within their borders is nonsense. Many people support Annan’s goals, but wonder if they are realistic. The United Nations has little power to act on its own. It has to receive permission from its member nations, but powerful countries like the United States often disagree with, and sometimes actively oppose, Annan’s ideas.

Despite the difficulties, Annan has succeeded in restoring a sense of respect to the United Nations. Though he speaks with a soft voice, and is known at the United Nations for being polite and elegant, he is also often praised for his toughness and courage. Annan’s goals may be difficult to achieve, but that hasn’t kept him from trying. Courage, he believes, will win out over cowardice in the end.

Day 2 Antelope and Lion 羚羊和狮子

Antelope and Lion

下面的这个小故事常常在企业管理的课堂上听到，因为它蕴含了很多的道理。其实生活中又何尝不是这样！

这是一个你可以在很多场合讲述的例子，记牢一点哦！

In Africa, when the antelope wakes up every morning, the first thing that comes to his mind is“, I must be able to run faster tha n the fastest lion, or I will be killed by a lion.” And at just the same time, the lion wakes out of his dream, and the first thing flashing into his mind is, “I must be able to catch up with the slowest antelope; otherwise I will starve to death.” So, alm ost at the same moment both the antelope and the lion jump to their feet, and start running toward the rising sun.

Such is life — whether you are an antelope or a lion, you ought to dash forward without hesitation when the sun rises.

antelope: 羚羊

flash: to cause (light) to appear suddenly or in intermittent bursts 闪现，闪光hesitation: a pause or faltering in speech 犹豫，踌躇

Day 3 Habit 习惯

Habit

每一个人在他日常生活中都有好的习惯和坏的习惯。想一想你的好习惯或坏习惯是如何养成的？它对你的日常生活有何影响？

Like everyone else, I have good and bad habits. M ost of my habits don’t have a very serious effect on my daily life. Unfortunately, one of them does.

I am a procrastinator. I always put off doing things until the last possible moment. I picked up this bad habit from my brother. This habit really causes me problem, especially when I have many assignments due about the same time. My life seems to run in cycles of leisurely heaven and incredibly frantic hell. I wish I could get rid of this terrible habit.

[注释]：

procrastinator : to put off doing something, especially out of habitual carelessness or laziness 拖

延者，拖拉的人

incredibly : so implausible as to elicit disbelief 不能相信地，难以置信地

Day 4 Learn Constantly 不断学习

Learn Constantly

在这个知识爆炸的年代，我们应接受并保持“终身学习”的观念和习惯。通过不断的学习，我们才可以更深入地了解自己、人生、大自然，也才可以获得恒久喜悦。

Learning intelligibly is one of the characteristics that distinguish humans from other animals. In other words, learning spontaneously is one of man’s unique traits. Throughout the history, human have even learned acculturation, handing down their cultural heritages from generation to generation. Therefore, we can conclude that all forms of learning, inclusive of the acquisition of skill, the shaping of views, the absorption of knowledge, take a very essential part in the course of human civilization.

Once learning stops, vegetation arises. To each of us, the process of learning may be full of frustrations and boredom, yet the fruit is often sweet and satisfactory. In terms of learning, I am convinced that it’s better late than never. In this knowledge explosion era, in particular, no one should withstand the trend and concept of “lifelong learning”. The more efforts we make to learn, the more we can keep life, nature and the universe in perspective. Learning is the surest way to eternal joy.

Day 5 The Fox and the Rooster 狐狸和雄鸡

The Fox and The Rooster

下面这则寓言由于中西方文化和思维习惯的不同，我们会觉得不容易理解。请仔细体会一下。Once there was a fox sneaked into a farm and grabbed a prize rooster.

The farmer saw him and raised the alarm to his dogs, and they started chasing the thief. The fox, though he was holding the rooster in his mouth, was running very fast.

“Get him! Get him!” shouted the farmer to his dogs.

“No!” suddenly screamed the rooster. “Don’t come near me!”

“My master was very cruel to me,” explained the rooster to the fox.

“Tell him to stay away from me.”

The fox was delighted. “He wants you to stay away from him!” he shouted at the

farmer, in the process releasing his hold on the rooster.

The rooster flew up into a tree and stayed there till he was rescued by his master. Think twice before you open your mouth to speak.

[注释]：

rooster: cock 雄禽，公鸡

grab: to take or grasp suddenly 夺取，抓住

Be savage again.

Go hungry and cold like the wolf,

Go wade like the crane:

The palms of your hands will thicken,

The skin of your cheek will tan,

You’ll grow ragged and weary and swarthy,

But you’ll walk like a man!

——Hamlin Garland

Day 7 The Price of Miracle 奇迹的价格

The Price of Miracle

“这个手术真的是个奇迹，奇迹到底需要多少钱呢？”母亲低声自语。苔丝笑了，她知道奇迹的真正价值：一美元十一美分，加上一个小女孩的信念。

Tess was a precocious eight-year-old girl when she heard her Mom and Dad talking about her little brother, Andrew. All she knew was that he was very sick and they were completely out of money. They were moving to an apartment complex next month because Daddy didn’t have the money for the doctor’s bills and their house. Only a very costly surgery could save him now and it was looking like there was no one to loan them the money. She heard Daddy say to her tearful Mother wit h whispered desperation, “Only a miracle can save him now.”

Tess went to her bedroom and pulled a glass jelly jar from its hiding place in the closet. She poured all the change out on the floor and counted it carefully. Three times, even. The total had to be absolutely exact. No chance here for mistakes. Carefully placing the coins back in the jar and twisting on the cap, she slipped out the back door and made her way six blocks to the pharmacy with the big red Indian Chief sign above the door.

She waited patiently for the pharmacist to give her some attention but he was too busy at this moment. Tess twisted her feet to make a scuffing noise. Nothing. She cleared her throat with the most disgusting sound she could muster. No good.

Finally she took a quarter from her jar and banged it on the glass counter. That did it! “And what do you want?” the pharmacist asked in an annoyed tone of voice. “I’m talking to my brother from Chicago whom I haven’t seen in ages,” he said without waiting for a reply to his

question.

“Well, I want to talk to you about my brother,” Tess answered back in the same annoyed tone, “He’s really, really sick ... and I want to buy a miracle.”

“I beg your pardon?” said the pharmacist.

“His name is Andrew and he has something bad growing inside his head and my Daddy says only a miracle can save him now. So how much does a miracle cost?”

“We don’t sell miracles here, little girl. I’m sorry but I can’t help you,” the pharmacist said, softening a little.

“Listen, I have the money to pay for it. If it isn’t enough, I will get the rest. Just tell me how much it costs.”

The pharmacist’s brother was a well-dressed man. He stooped down and asked the little girl, “What kind of a miracle does your brother need?”

“I don’t know,” Tess replied with her eyes welling up, “I just know he’s really sick and Mommy says he needs an operation. But my Daddy can’t pay for it, so I want to use my money.”

“How much do you have?” asked the man from Chicago. “One dollar and eleven cents,” Tess answered barely audibly, “And it’s all the money I have, but I can get some more if I need to.”

“Well, what a coincidence,” smiled the man, “A dollar and eleven cents — the exact price of a miracle for your little brother.”

He took her money in one hand and with the other hand he grasped her mitten and said, “T ake me to where you live. I want to see your brother and meet your parents. Let’s see if I have the kind of miracle you need.”

That well-dressed man was Dr. Carlton Armstrong, a surgeon, specializing in neurosurgery. The operation was completed without charge and it wasn’t long until Andrew was home again and doing well.

Mom and Dad were happily talking about the chain of events that had led them to this place. “That surgery,” her Mom whispered,“was a real miracle. I wonder how much it would have cost?”

Tess smiled. She knew exactly how much a miracle cost—one dollar and eleven cents—plus the faith of a little child.

[注释]：

precocious: 早熟的

desperation: the condition of being desperate 绝望

pharmacist: 药剂师

soften: to make less harsh, strident, or critical 变温和

audibly: 可听见地，听得清清楚楚地

mitten: (拇指分开的)两指手套; 露指长手套

neurosurgery: 神经外科

英语专业晨读美文励志篇：Feed Your Mind

英语专业晨读美文励志篇：Feed Your Mind [00:04.52]Feed Your Mind [00:06.60]Since the prehistoric times, man has had an urge to satisfy his needs. [00:13.60] Be it hunger, shelter or search for a mate, [00:17.31] he has always manipulated the circumstances to the best of his advantages. [00:22.23]Probably this might be the reason [00:24.53]why we human are the most developed of all living species on the earth, [00:28.79]and probably also in the universe. [00:31.53]As we climbed the steps of evolution with giant leaps, [00:35.36]we somehow left behind common sense and logical thinking— [00:39.29]we forgot that we have stopped thinking ahead of times. [00:42.57]If you are hungry, what do you do? Grab

a piece of your favorite meal [00:47.72] and stay quiet after that? Just like your stomach, even your mind is hungry. [00:53.07]But it never lets you know, [00:54.93]because you keep it busy thinking about your dream lover, [00:58.22] favorite star and many such absurd things. [01:01.49]So it silently began to heed to your needs and never let itself grow. [01:06.42] When mind looses its freedom to grow, creativity gets a full stop. [01:12.10] This might be the reason why we all sometimes think “What happens next?”, [01:16.80]”Why can’t I think?”, “Why am I always given the difficult problems?” [01:21.40]Well this is the aftermath of our own karma [01:25.22]of using our brain for thinking of not-so-worthy things. [01:28.72]Hunger of the mind can be actually satiated through extensive reading.

Do something for yourself 做你自己 As a little boy, there was nothing I liked better than Sunday aftemoons at my grandfather's farm in western Pennsylvania. Surrounded by miles of winding stonewalls, the house and barn provided endless hours of fun for a city kid like me. I was used to parlors neat as a pin that seemed to whisper, "Not to be touched!" 我小时候最喜欢在爷爷的农场里度过每个星期天的下午。爷爷的农场在宾夕法尼亚州西部。农场四周都围上了绵延几英里的石墙。房子和谷仓给我这个城市男孩带来了无穷的快乐时光。我习惯了城里整洁的客厅，似乎在低声说：“不要摸！”。 I can still remember one afternoon when I was eight years old. Since my first visit to the farm, I'd wanted more than anything to be allowed to climb the stonewalls surrounding the property. My parents would never approve. The walls were old; some stones were missing, others loose and crumbling. Still, my yearning to scramble across those walls grew so strong. One spring afternoon, I summoned all my courage and entered the living room, where the adults had gathered after dinner. 我仍能记得我8岁那年一天下午的情景。因为我第一次去农场，所以我很想上那农场四周的那些石墙。可我的父母是绝不会同意的。这些墙年深日，有的石头不见了，有的石头松动倒塌了。然而，我渴望这些墙的欲望非常强烈。一个春天的下午，我鼓足勇气，走进客厅，大人们午饭后都聚在这里。 "I, uh, I want to climb the stonewalls," I said hesitantly. Everyone looked up. "Can I climb the stonewalls?" Instantly a chorus went up from the women in the room. "Heavens, no!" they cried in dismay. "You'll hurt yourself!" I wasn't too disappointed; the response was just as I'd expected. But before I could leave the room, I was stopped by my grandfather' s booming voice. "Hold on just a minute," I heard him say, "Let the boy climb the stonewalls. He has to learn to do things for himself." “我，呃，我想爬那石墙，”我犹豫地说道。大家都抬起头。“我能去爬那些石墙吗？”屋里的女人们马上齐声叫了起来。“天哪，不能！”她们惊慌地叫首，“你会伤着自己的！”我并没有太失望，我早就预料会是这样的回答。但还没等我离开客厅，爷爷低沉的声音拦住了我。“等一会儿，”我听到他说“让孩子爬那些石墙吧。他必须学会自己做一些事。” "Scoot," he said to me with a wink, "and come and see me when you get back." For the next two and a half hours I climbed those old walls and had the time of my life. Later I met with my grandfather to tell him about my adventure. I'll never forget what he said. "Fred," he said, grinning, "you made this day a special day just by being yourself. Always remember, there's only one person in this whole world like you, and I like you exactly as you are." “快走吧，”他对我眨眨眼说。“你回来后找我。”接下来的两个半小时，我爬上了这些古老的石墙，别提有多肝硬变。后来，我把自己冒险经历告诉了爷爷。我永远也不会忘记他说

Youth means a temperamental2) predominance3) of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease. This often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20. Nobody grows old merely by a number of years. We grow old by deserting4) our ideals. Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust.

In the center of your heart and my heart there is a wireless station: So long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and power from men and from the infinite5), so long are you young. When the aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism6) and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old, even at 20; but as long as your aerials are up, to catch waves of optimism, there is hope you may die young at 80. [Annotation:] 1）supple adj. 柔软的 2）temperamental adj. 由气质引起的 3）predominance n. 优势 4) desert vt. 抛弃 5) the Infinite上帝 6) cynicism n. 玩世不恭 青春 青春不是年华，而是心境；青春不是桃面、丹唇、柔膝，而是深沉的意志、恢弘的想象、炙热的感情；青春是生命的深泉在涌动。
