愿得一人心，白首不分离One warm evening many years ago…
犹记得多年前，那个让人暖心的夜晚
After spending nearly every waking minute with Angel for eight straight days, I knew that I had to tell her just one thing. So late at night, just before she fell asleep, I whispered it in her ear. She smiled –the kind of smile that makes me smile back –and she said, “When I’m seventy-five and I think about my life and what it was like to be young, I hope that I can remember this very moment.
整整8天除了睡着其余的时间我都陪着安吉尔，酝酿已久，我想我一定要告诉她一件事。于是这天夜里，就在她刚刚睡下，我便在她耳边轻声说起来，说完她就笑了，是那种希望得到我回应的笑，接着说道：“真希望我老到75岁的时候，开始回忆，这一刻须臾会变成永恒。
A few seconds later she closed her eyes and fell asleep. The room was peaceful – almost silent. All I could hear was the soft purr of her breathing. I stayed awake thinkin g about the time we’d spent together and all the choices in our lives that made this moment possible. And at some point, I realized that it didn’t matter what we’d done or where we’d gone. Nor did the future hold any significance.
很快她就闭上眼睛睡着了，整个房间祥和安静，甚至有些寂静。耳畔起伏着安吉尔轻柔的呼吸声，我清醒的回忆我们共度的这些美好时光，是冥冥之中的选择成就了我们在一起的时刻。我们做过什么，去过哪里都不重要，甚至未来也不重要。
All that mattered was the serenity of the moment.
眼下最重要的就是此刻的和谐安宁。
Just being with her and breathing with her.
只要能与她同呼吸共命运，便别无所求。
The moral: We must not allow the clock, the calendar, and external pressures to rule our lives and blind us to the fact that each individual moment of our lives is a beautiful mystery and a miracle –especially those moments we spend in the presence of a loved one.
启示：时间、日常事务、以及其他的外部压力都不能左右和束缚我们的生活，因为每个人，尤其是与心爱之人一起度过的美好时光，才是我们生命中最让人心驰神往，美妙动人的追寻。
整个世界因你而不同
All the Difference in The World
整个世界因你而改变
Every Sunday morning I take a light jog around a park near my home. There’s a lake located in one corner of the park. Each time I jog by this lake, I see the same elderly woman sitting at the water’s edge with a small metal cage sitting beside her.
每个星期日的早晨我都会绕着我家附近的公园轻松地慢跑。公园的一角有一片湖。每当我慢跑经过这片湖，都会看到同一个老妇人，身边放着一个金属笼子坐在湖边。
This past Sunday my curiosity got the best of me, so I stopped jogging and walked over to her.
上个星期日我终于忍不住好奇，停止了慢跑，走到她身边。
As I got closer, I realized that the metal cage was in fact a small trap.
走近时我发现金属笼子其实是一个小陷阱。
There were three turtles, unharmed, slowly walking around the base of the trap.
三只乌龟安然无恙，绕着陷阱底部慢悠悠地爬着。
She had a fourth turtle in her lap that she was carefully scrubbing with a spongy brush.
她正认真地用海绵刷擦拭着第四只趴在她膝盖上的乌龟。
“Hello,” I said. “If you don’t mind my nosiness, I’d love to know what you’re doing with these turtles.”
“你好啊，”我说。“如果你不介意我多管闲事的话，我很想知道你在对这些乌龟做什么呢。”
She smiled. “I’m cleaning off their shells ,” she replied.
“我在清洗他们的壳，”她笑着回答说。
“Anything on a turtle’s shell, like algae or scum, reduces the turtle’s ability to absorb heat and impedes its ability to swim. It can also corrode and weaken the shell over time.”
任何乌龟壳上，像海藻、泡沫浮渣这些东西，都会减弱乌龟的吸热能力并且阻碍他们游动，时间长了还会腐蚀龟壳，让龟壳变得脆弱。
She went on: “I spend a couple of hours each Sunday morning, relaxing by this lake and helping these little guys out. It’s my own strange way of making a difference.
”她继续说道：“每个星期天早晨我都会花几个小时待在湖边，边放松自己，边帮这些小家伙摆脱困难。这就是我奇怪的制造改变的方式。”
“But don’t most freshwater turtles live their whole lives with algae and scum hanging from their shells?” I asked.
“但是，难道不是所有的淡水乌龟都是伴随着它们壳上的海藻和泡沫、浮渣度过一生的吗？”我问道。
“Yep, sadly, they do,” she replied.
“遗憾的是，它们的确这样。”她回答道。
“Well then, don’t y ou think your time could be better spent? And 99% of these turtles don’t have kind people like you to help them clean off their shells. So, no offense… but how exactly are your localized efforts here truly making a difference?”
“那么，你不觉得你在浪费时间吗？99%的乌龟都没有遇到像你这么好的人去帮他们清洗龟壳。所以，无意冒犯…但是你在这儿，通过你一个人的努力到底能带来多大改变呢？”
The woman giggled aloud.
老妇人大声咯咯笑起来。
She then looked down at the turtle in her lap, scrubbed off the last piece of algae from its shell, and said, “Sweetie, if this little guy could talk, he’d tell you I just made all the difference in the world.
接着她看看膝盖上的乌龟，把龟壳上的最后一块海藻擦拭干净，说道：“亲爱的，如果这只小乌龟会说话的话，它一定会告诉你我刚刚改变了整个世界。”
什么才是生命中真正重要的东西？
The Important Things in Life
生活中重要的事情
A philosophy professor stood before his class with some items on the table in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with rocks, about 2 inches in diameter.
课前，一位哲学教授站在讲台上，他面前的桌子上放了几样东西。上课后，教授什么也没说，他拿起一个又大又空的蛋黄酱罐子，然后往里面放入大概2英寸直径的小石块。
He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.
然后，他问学生这个罐子是否已经满了？学生们都回答说是。
So the professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles, of course, rolled into the open areas between the rocks.
然后教授就拿起一瓶小鹅卵石，然后把石头倒进罐子里，他轻轻地摇了摇罐子。这样小鹅卵石就进到石块的间隙中去。
He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.
然后，他又问学生这个罐子是否已经满了？学生们都回答说是。
The professor picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up the remaining open areas of the jar.
然后教授就拿起一瓶沙子，然后把沙子倒进罐子里，沙子又填充进了间隙中。
He then asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous “Yes.”
然后，他又问学生们，这个罐子是否已经满了？学生们一致同意说：“已经满了。”
“Now,” said the professor, “I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The rocks are the important things –your family, your partner, your health, your children –things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full. The pebbles are the other things that matter –like your job, your house, your car. The sand is everything else, the small stuff.”
教授说：“现在，我希望你们把人生看作是这个罐子，石头就是那些重要的事情--你们的家庭，爱人，健康，孩子，吐过把除了这些之外的其他东西都丢掉，你们的人生其实还是充实的。鹅卵石就是那些对你们不是最重要但也要紧的东西，比如你的工作、房子、车。而沙子就是那些其他的无关紧要的小事情。”
“If you put the sand into the ja r first,” he continued, “there is no room for the pebbles or the rocks. The same goes for your life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you. Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take your partner out dancing. There will always be time to go to work, clean the house, give a dinner party, or fix the disposal.”
教授继续说：“如果你先把沙子放进这个罐子，那罐子里就没有地方放小鹅卵石和石块了，你们的人生也是这样。如果你将所有的时间和精力都放在那些小事情上，你就不会有精力关注那些真正对你重要的东西。将精力放在那些真正和你的幸福息息相关的事情上。和你的孩子一起玩耍。带你的爱人出去跳舞。而工作，打扫屋子，举办场宴会，修理东西，这些事情总是会有时间的。”
“Take care of the rocks first – the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.”
“首先考虑岩石，即那些真正重要的事情。设置好你的优先事项。剩下的只是沙子。
别用自己的恶意去揣测世界的爱心In the days when an ice cream sundae cost much less, a 10 year old boy entered a hotel coffee shop and sat at a table. A waitress put a glass of water in front of him.
在冰淇淋圣代还很便宜的年代，一个10岁的小男孩走进一家酒店的咖啡厅，在一张桌子旁坐了下来。一名服务员在他面前放了一杯水。
“How much is an ice cream sundae?”
“一个冰淇淋圣代多少钱？”
“50 cents,” replied the waitress.
“50美分，”服务员回答道。
The little boy pulled his hand out of his pocket and studied a number of coins in it.
小男孩从口袋里拿出手来，仔细地数了一下手里的硬币。
“How much is a dish of plain ice cream?” he inquired. Some pe ople were now waiting for a table and the waitress was a bit impatient.”
“一碟原味冰淇淋多少钱？”他问道。这时候有一些人正在候位，服务员有些不耐烦了。
“35 cents,” she said brusquely.
“35美分。”她粗鲁地回复道。
The little boy again counted the coins. “I’ll have the plain ice cream,” he said.
小男孩又数了一遍硬币。“我要一份原味冰淇淋。”他说。
The waitress brought the ice cream, put the bill on the table and walked away. The boy finished the ice cream, paid the cashier and departed.
服务员拿来冰淇淋，把账单放到桌上后就走开了。小男孩吃完冰淇淋，付了钱，然后离开了。
When the waitress came back, she began wiping down the table and then swallowed hard at what she saw.
当服务员回来的时候，他开始擦桌子，然后她被自己看到的一切哽住了。
There, placed neatly beside the empty dish, were 15 cents – her tip.
在那里的空碟子下面整齐地放着15美分——她的小费。
在逆境中学到了人生最重要的一课Everybody has to face bad days in their life. Some face ailments, some face fears, some face poverty, some face helplessness etc etc. No one can escape from it. It is a rule of life. Two things always combines together like joy and sadness, laugh and cry, health and illness, profit and loss, morning and night, confidence and inferiority complex, victory and failure likewise good days and bad days.
每个人都会有不如意的时候，有人身体欠佳，有人面临恐惧，有人贫困不堪，有人迷惘无助，等等，没有人能够一帆风顺，直至终老。如影随形，此消彼长的事物，比如，高兴与悲伤，欢笑与哭泣，健康与疾病，获得与失去，早晨和晚上，自信与自卑，成功与失败，顺境和逆境也是如此。
You know what is the biggest advantage of bad days? You come to know GOD. What is God? What he can do? He is so friendly, understanding, loving and moreover God is the Superman he can do anything in a second. Yes true he can do
anything. He is the only light in darkness. God is so merciful he always forgives and never complaint whether you ignore him many times that is why according to me God is the only best and faithful friend who never cheats.
你知道不顺的日子带给你最大的感悟是什么？就是你开始信奉神明。上帝是谁？他能够帮我做些什么？他是那么的亲切和蔼，善解人意，胸怀广博，不仅如此他就像超人瞬间排除一切障碍。是的上帝无所不能，他是黑暗中的一丝曙光。之所以上帝是人类完美的朋友，是因为他是如此坦诚布公，慈悲为怀，予取予求，不图回报，原谅世人的无数次薄情。
When bad days come a person first of all cannot understand what is going on, why me? But after sometimes he realises his strength and start doing every single thing to come out of it. And he comes out but that journey is though very painful but when you once crossed it you will find your journey very meaningful, you will feel like as your rebirth. You have totally changed your thoughts, your perception, and you can understand life better. You get the meaning of your life. In short you start becoming wise.
当不幸降临，一开始我们总会怨天尤人。但是为了摆脱困境，我们竭尽所能。当一切过去，回头来看，这段经历对你来说非比寻常，如同凤凰涅槃。而且你的思想观念都会发生翻天覆地的变化，对人生也会有更加深刻的领悟，简而言之，你会变得更加睿智。
The biggest lesson of life during bad days according to me is that a person becomes spiritual and a giver which he wasn't before. Life means to create it. First think what you want in your life then start giving the same think. This is one of the most important thing I have learnt in my life. You want love then start spreading it, you want money then start giving to needy, you want happiness then start doing all things which give happiness. Everything is in your hand you only need to give first. If don't have everything then give or share what you have. Still you feel you have nothing to share then give smile. You can't imagine that your smile can do wonder for someone. So start smiling from today onwards.
逆境给我最深的领悟是，变得更加注重精神层面，懂得给予。生命的真谛在于，遵循你的内心先去履行赋予它的意义，这是我的感悟。比如，你想要得到爱你先要懂得如何传播爱，你想要钱，你先要懂得施舍，你想要快乐，那就先做让别人快乐的事情。你想要得到就必须先付出。如果你一无所有，那么你至少可以面对他人，面带微笑。微笑的魔力超乎想象，那让我们从今天开始就坚持面带微笑吧。
The most beautiful lesson I have learnt in my life is that If you are in pain then remember one thing: time is though hard but it would be the best time of your life. You know why we have to face hard days? Did you think about it? No!!!! Ok I will tell you. We always forget two unforgettable things. First is God and second is family. Nowadays money is everything. Money is important, in fact very important
but it is not a life so why to spend whole life in earning money. When will we live? What you can do now you can't do it tomorrow so don't let the day pass without enjoying.
逆境中让我感到的最美好的是，体会到上帝和家庭的重要性，这两样东西是我们平常最容易忽略的。每日碌碌只为功名利禄，钱财物质固然重要，但不是生活的唯一，活在当下，感受生活的美好安逸，不要让这些轻易的溜走。
One thing I must share with you is that if you want to grow and learn more than you know, then do whatever you want to do but beyond your comfort zone. Always try to think that I can, then nothing is impossible for you. Difficulty is in the mind not in work. You know one thing when we accept life as it comes or we accept that everything happens for a reason or for our betterment. Believe me you will find your hard days as an adventure but you need to trust God and at the end you will find yourself a winner.
如果你们想要很好的学习成长，那么我倒有条建议，就是在你们的舒适区之外尝试任何你们想做的事情。困难只是心魔，克服它便没有什么可以阻挡你。坦然面对并接受人生的起落，不管是什么原因，亦或是让我们成为很好的自己。我保证当你回忆起这段不顺，你会发现就像经历了一场冒险，但你依然要相信上苍，最后你会发现，你自己也能成为救世主。
I hope you like it. Love you all and God bless you all with healthy wealthy long life and good destiny.
希望你们喜欢这篇鸡汤文。爱你们，上帝保佑你们都长命百岁，平顺喜乐。
4种方法让迷失彷徨的你找到方向We all get confused at times, but prolonged periods of confusion can cause us to feel that we are stuck in a never-ending, foggy web of uncertainty.
人人都有迷失之时，但过久地陷于其中只能让我们觉得被困在迷茫无尽的不确定中。
To those who are currently caught up in the web of confusion, this may not make sense just yet, but stick with me.
对于正陷于困惑中的人，这些建议可能暂时不奏效，不过请坚持下去。
Here is what you can do to overcome your confusion and find the joy:
以下就是攻克迷茫、找到快乐的方法：
1. Accept where you are.
1、接受自己
Accept the fog, accept the confusion and accept the feelings of "stuckness." This is usually a sign that more information needs to be delivered before you can move forward.
接受迷茫、困惑，接受这种陷于其中的状态。这通常是一个信号，说明你
需要获得更多的信息来走出去。
2. Take a deep breath.
2、深呼吸
Center yourself, and firmly state, "I don't know what to do, and that is okay." When you firmly state your uncertainty, you move out of the fog. The more you focus on your certainty, the more at peace you will feel with where you are at.
集中精神，坚定地说：“我知道该怎么做，这是对的。”当你坚定地讲出你的不确定，便能走出迷茫。你越是关注你所确信的东西，也就对自己的处境感到越平和。
3. Focus on what you know.
3、关注你所了解的
When you are confused it can be easy to get stuck in a web of consistent, repetitive thoughts that appear to have no end and no beginning. To clear this, start focusing on what you know and what you feel sure about. When you do this, it will automatically help to weaken the cloud of confusion over your life.
当你困惑时，很容易陷入持续反复、没头没尾的想法中去。要清除这些想法，就要专注于你所了解的、确信的东西。这有助于逐渐消散你生活中的困惑。
4. Be patient.
4、要有耐心
Being confused is a sign of change and you may need to let the journey unfold a little bit more before you make a decision. Be at peace with that, and be at peace with the fact that you don’t have all the answers. Just accept the way things are and trust that inspiration will reach you when the time comes to make a decision.
困惑也是一种改变信号，也许你需要把眼前的道路看得更清楚一些，才能作出决定。用平常心看待它，也要接受你无法拥有所有的答案。接受万物本来的样子，相信当你做决定时，灵感自然会浮现。
The beauty about being stuck and confused in life is that there really is no wrong turn or wrong path.
人生陷于困惑的美妙之处，就在于没有对错。
Every road traveled is a blessing in some way, so take the stress out of life's decisions and trust that all roads really do lead home.
你走的任何一条路都是一种恩赐，所以不要对人生抉择有过多压力，请相信任何一条路都能带你走向心之所属。
成功的3个要素，你get了吗？
Success is so much more than just money or fame. Success is about being able to live a happy and fulfilling life that allows you to be true to who you really are.
成功远远不止是金钱和名利。能够活得快乐、能够追求忠于自我的人生，
才是真正的成功。
If you want to have a successful life, if you want to create a life that makes you feel passionate to be alive, here are the three things you need to focus on.
如果你想要活得成功、如果你想要创造挥洒激情的人生，有这么三个要素你必须关注。
1. Believe In Yourself
1、相信自己
If you don't believe in yourself, how do you expect other people to?
如果连你自己都不相信自己，要怎么让别人相信你呢？
If you don't believe that you can have the life you desire, if you don't believe that you can achieve all that you are setting out to achieve, it is going to be very difficult to create a successful life.
如果你不相信你能得到你所追求的生活、如果你不相信你能得到你想要的东西，要想活得成功就非常困难了。
When you believe in yourself, it fuels your creativity, your ambitions and your motivation to do things. It also helps you to take a leap of faith when it comes to going after what it is that you truly desire.
当你有了自信，它会点亮你的创意、野心和做事的动力。它同样能让你在追求心之所向时放手一搏。
2. Know Your Intention
2、了解你的追求
If your intention is simply rooted in money and fame, chances are you are never going to truly feel successful.
如果你的追求只是金钱和名利，你很可能永远都不会感到成功。
The feeling of success that is given through money and fame is only temporary and is not enough to sustain a long-term feeling of fulfillment and happiness.
金钱和名利带来的成功仅仅是暂时的，不足以给你长期的满足和快乐。
For a truly successful life, your intention has to be rooted in your purpose, in your passions and in what feels good to you.
想要真正的成功人生，必须把追求放在目标上、放在热情所在之处、放在最适合自己的地方。
When your intention is to serve your purpose, make a change in the world and express your gifts and talents, you will feel true success and satisfaction no matter what the outcome.
当你的追求在于达成目标、改变世界和发挥天赋上，你会感受到真正的成功和满足，无论结果如何。
3. Realize You Are Already Successful
3、明白你已经很成功了
Success is all around you and flows through you and the more you can welcome
that into your life, the more you will start to feel it.
成功就在你周围，就流淌在你的身体里。你越是对它敞开心胸，就越是能感受到它。
Being grateful for the tiniest successes in life will also help you to create more and more success. This is a powerful mindset shift and one that will help you to align with your ambitions and dreams.
对人生中微小的成功心存感激，这也能帮你获得更大的成功。这是巨大的心态转变，同样能助你与抱负和梦想为伴。
The truth is that you are already successful and once you realize this, there is no stopping what you can do.
事实上，你已经足够成功了，明白了这点，你将无可匹敌。
新课标下的高中英语课外阅读活动
新课标下的高中英语课外阅读活动 瑞安隆山高级中学：项玲玲 【摘要】本文论述了新课程标准背景下开展高中英语课外阅读活动的必要性阅读材料选择的原则和范围、阅读活动的指导和管理以及课外阅读活动的模式。 【关键词】新课程标准，高中英语，阅读材料。 一、新课程标准下开展高中英语课外阅读的必要性。 《普通高中英语课程标准》（实验）（以下简称新课标）更加注重对学生综合语言能力的培养。新课标要求学生具备的综合阅读能力包括语篇领悟能力和语言解码能力；强调多学科知识的贯通；注重培养学生的语篇分析能力、判断能力和逻辑理解能力；要求学生提高阅读速度，增强阅读量和扩大记词汇量等。同时，新课标明确指出，除教材以外，高中英语阅读量六级23万词以下，八级应达到30万词以上。虽然英语实验教材在话题、语篇和词汇等方面都进行了改革，但仍然存在阅读量有限和题材单调等问题。为了实现新课标提出的阅读能力目标，教师应结合教材中课文的主题补充各类富有时代气息的课外阅读材料，指导学生进行大量的课外阅读。 在使用现行高中英语新教材的过程中，笔者所在学校进行了教学改革实验。笔者经过观察、与学生交流讨论，并通过问卷调查的方式对高二105名学生的英语课外阅读状况做了详细的调查和分析。调查结果显示：①有85％的被调查对象认为，课外阅读能提高语言复现率，可以促进对课文内容的学习和掌握，同时也可以培养学生的阅读理解能力。②有56％的被调查对象进行课外阅读的时间较少。③学生课外阅读材料的主要来源是报纸（英语周报或学英语报）。很多学生有目的地选择课外读物。课外阅读的首要目的要提高英语程度。④学生面临的主要问题是很难找到一些合适的阅读材料。⑤学生的英语成绩和在课外的阅读上所花费的时间呈正相关。⑥有60％的学生希望教师每周抽出一定的时间进行课外阅读指导或组织学生交流、讨论和展示。本文将介绍笔者所在学校开展课外阅读活动实践的一些思路和做法，以期与同行交流。 二、课外阅读材料的选择 1、课外阅读材料的选择原则 （1）发展性和拓展性 选择课外阅读材料要结合课内阅读内容，并作为其延伸，以弥补教材的不足，进而实现课内外知识的连接和扩展。在课外阅读过程中，学生可以将课内所学的知识迁移到课外阅读中。新颖且丰富的课外阅读材料可以激发生的兴趣和求知欲望，促使他们去探究和获取更多的新知识。所选择的课外阅读材料要有利于拓展思维和开阔其视野，要有利于培养学生的创新精神和阅读实践能力。 （2）趣味性

高中优秀英语美文摘抄
高中优秀英语美文摘抄 试着训练自己的思想朝好的一面看，这样你就会汲取实现目标的动力，而不会因为消极沉沦停滞不前。 一旦变换看问题的角度，你的生活会豁然开朗，幸福快乐会接踵而来。 别交出掌握命运的主动权，也别指望局面会不可思议的好转。 你必须与内心希望与热情步调一致。 建立自信，敢于与困难短兵相接，而非绕道而行。 记住，力量不是驾驭局势的法宝，无坚不摧的能力才是最重要的。 请坚信，美好的降临并非不可能，失误也许是成功的前奏。 将惶恐化作信任，学会超越担忧和疑虑。 让“诚惶诚恐的时光变得“富有成效。 不要挥霍浪费精力，将它投到有意义的事情中去。 当你下意识品尝生命的欢愉时，美好就会出现。 当你积极地看待生活，并以此作为你的日常准则时，你就会找到快乐的真谛。 该研究的主要作者、美国印第安纳州诺特丹大学的心理学家杰西卡?佩恩认为，在学完新东西后打个盹就像把要记住的东西“告诉睡眠中的大脑。 她和同事一起对207名学生进行了研究，这些学生习惯每晚至少睡六个小时。
参与者被随机分配到几个学习小组，学习内容是陈述性知识，包括语义相连或不相连的词组。 学习时间在早上9点或晚上9点。 学完后他们在30分钟、12小时或24小时后回来做测试。 陈述性记忆指的是有意识地记忆事实和事件的能力，可以分为情节记忆(对事件的记忆)和语义记忆(对事实类知识的记忆)。 人们每天都会例行运用这两种记忆——回想今天我们把车停在了哪里或了解一个同事喜欢别人怎么称呼他。 在12小时后再次进行测试时，总体来看睡了一夜的人相比还没睡觉的人记忆效果更好。 在24小时后再度测试时，所有的实验对象都睡了一整夜，也在清醒中度过了一个白天。 这次，那些在学习后不久就入睡的人比那些学习后过了一整个白天才睡觉的人记忆效果更好。 佩恩说：“我们的研究证实，在学习新东西后马上睡觉对记忆有帮助。 这项研究的创新之处在于，我们试图通过对语义相连和不相连的词组的记忆研究来揭示睡眠对于两种陈述性记忆的影响。 “我们发现在学习之后很快就睡觉对两种记忆都有帮助，这意味着在上床睡觉前温习你要记忆的东西将很有好处。 在某种意义上，你可能在‘告诉’睡眠中的大脑需要巩固强化的记忆。
高中课外阅读--英语美文欣赏87(英语读物)
英语美文欣赏87 Every day is a lucky day I teach economics at UNLV three times per week. Last Monday, at the beginning of class, I cheerfully asked my students how their weekend had been. One young man said that his weekend had not been so good. He had his wisdom teeth removed. The young man then proceeded to ask me why I always seemed to be so cheerful. His question reminded me of something I'd read somewhere before: "Every morning when you get up, you have a choice about how you want to approach life that day," I said. "I choose to be cheerful." "Let me give you an example," I continued, addressing all sixty students in the class. "In addition to teaching here at UNLV, I also teach out at the community college in Henderson, 17 miles down the freeway from where I live. One day a few weeks ago I drove those 17 miles to Henderson. I exited the freeway and turned onto College Drive. I only had to drive another quarter mile down the road to the college. But just then my car died. I tried to start it again, but the engine wouldn't turn over. So I put my flashers on, grabbed my books, and marched down the road to the college." "As soon as I got there I called AAA and arranged for a tow truck to meet me at my car after class. The secretary in the Provost's office asked me what has happened. 'This is my lucky day,' I replied, smiling." " 'Your car breaks down and today is your lucky day?' She was puzzled. 'What do you mean?'" " 'I live 17 miles from here.' I replied. 'My car could have broken down anywhere along the freeway. It didn't. Instead, it broke down in the perfect place: off the freeway, within walking distance of here. I'm still able to teach my class, and I've been able to arrange for the tow truck to meet me after class. If my car was meant to break down today, it couldn't have been arranged in a more convenient fashion.'" "The secretary's eyes opened wide, and then she smiled. I smiled back and headed for class." So ended my story. I scanned the sixty faces in my economics class at UNLV. Despite the early hour, no one seemed to be asleep. Somehow, my story had touched them. Or maybe it wasn't the story at all. In fact, it had all started with a student's observation that I was cheerful.

关于经典英语美文摘抄 【篇一】关于经典英语美文：美国革命的历史意义 The Historical Significance of American Revolution The ways of history are so intricate and the motivations of human actions so complex that it is always hazardous to attempt to represent events covering a number of years, a multiplicity of persons, and distant localities as the expression of one intellectual or social movement; yet the historical process which culminated in the ascent of Thomas Jefferson to the presidency can be regarded as the outstanding example not only of the birth of a new way of life but of nationalism as a new way of life. The American Revolution represents the link between the seventeenth century, in which modern England became conscious of itself, and the awakening of modern Europe at the end of the eighteenth century. It may seem strange that the march of history should have had to cross the Atlantic Ocean, but only in the North American colonies could a struggle for civic liberty lead also to the foundation of a new nation. Here, in the popular rising against a "tyrannical" government, the fruits were more than the securing of a freer constitution. They included the growth of a nation born in liberty by the will of the people, not from the roots of common descent, a geographic entity, or the ambitions of king or dynasty. With the American nation, for the first time, a nation was born, not in the dim past of history but before the eyes of the whole world. 美国革命的历史意义

It is here that is to be found the source of the energythat the Sun constantly pours out into space as light and heat. This energy is liberated at thecenter of the Sun as billions upon billions of nuclei of hydrogen atoms collide with each otherand fuse together to form nuclei of helium, and in doing so, release some of the energy that isstored in the nuclei of atoms. The output of light and heat of the Sun requires that some00million tons of hydrogen be converted into helium in the Sun every second.

浅谈高中英语课外阅读训练的指导
浅谈英语课外阅读的指导 五常市高级中学王晓丽高中英语大纲明确指出：“要提高学生阅读能力，单纯通过教科书中的课文教学是不够的，还要根据学生的具体情况，有计划地指导学生在课外阅读一定数量的读物。” 在教学实践中我体会到，学生优秀的习作几乎都是得益于课外阅读和对真实生活的体验。英语的学习单靠简单的记忆已不能取得高分了，更需要阅读能力的提高。要提高学生阅读能力，单纯通过教科书中的课文教学是不够的，还要根据学生的具体情况，有计划地指导学生在课外阅读一定数量的读物。阅读教学在我国外语教学中历来受到重视。 首先，合理选择材料：思想性强，内容健康；兴趣是成功的原动力，作为教材延伸形式出现的课外阅读，材料要多样化，要讲求趣味性。这就对我们外语教师提出了更高、更全面的要求。让学生独立阅读，但又不是“放羊式”的阅读，而是在教师有计划的指导下进行的课外阅读。 其次，精读和泛读结合：泛读广泛、大量、快速，故重点放在针对问题快速地捕捉信息上。快阅读，知大意；根据上下文猜测词义；根据构词法猜测词义；注意深层意思的理解；把理解题目作为提纲来读。 英语是实践性很强的课程，英语学习不能局限在小课堂里，构建课内外结合、校内外沟通的英语教育体系，创造一个广阔的英语学习空间。 1.《高中英语阅读训练》是一本很好的读物。题材较为广泛，如人物传记、寓言故事等。每单元编配三篇阅读训练材料，包括一篇快速阅读材料和两篇泛读材料，较长的分为上、下两篇。A篇为快速阅读，题材与课文基本相同，难度略低于课文，其目的是为了复习和巩固课堂上所学的语言知识，培养学生对阅读的兴趣，训练他们快速阅读的技能。因此，我在每上完一模块教材后就利用几分钟时间，安排学生当场独立完成（从高一到高二，从慢到快），并要求学生在阅读文章上面记录阅读的时间及正确理解率，以便学生以后检查自己的阅读理解率的提高情况。B、C两篇材料要求学生在课外完成，教师做不定期的检查。 2在课外阅读过程中，学生可以饶有兴趣地将课内所学的知识自然而然地迁移到课外阅读中。新颖丰富的课外阅读材料可以激发学生英语学习的兴趣和求

高中生英语必背美文(中英文对照)
As a teenager，I felt I was always letting people down. I was rebellious out－side，but I wanted to be liked inside. Once I left home to hitch-hike2 to California with my friend Penelope. The trip wasn?t easy，and there were many times I didn?t feel safe. One situation in particular kept me grateful to still be alive. When I returned home，I was different，not so outwardly sure of myself. I was happy to be home. But then I noticed that Penelope，who was staying with us，was wearing my clothes. And my family seemed to like her better than me. I wondered if I would be missed if I weren?t there. I told my mom，and she explained that though Penelope was a lovely girl，no one could replace me. I pointed out，“Ｓhe is more patient and is neater than I have ever been.”My mom said these were wonderful qualities，but I was the only person who could fill my role. She made me realize that even with my faults—and there were many－I was a loved member of the family who couldn?t be replaced. I became a searcher，wanting to find out who I was and what made me unique. My view of myself was changing. I wanted a solid base to start from. I started to resist3 pressure to act in ways that I didn?t like any more，and I was delighted by who I really was. I came to feel much more sure that no one can ever take my place. Each of us holds a unique place in the world. You are special，no matter what others say or what you may think. So forget about being replaced. You can’t be. 当我还是个10几岁的少年的时候，觉得自己总是让人失望。从外表上看，我似乎很叛逆，但是在内心深处，我是如此地渴望被人疼爱。 有一次我离开了家和我的朋友佩内洛普搭便车去了加利福尼亚。这次旅行并不轻松，而且有很多次我感觉不安。有一次的突发状况让我一直庆幸自己还活着。回到家，我发觉自己变了，看上去不那么自信了。 我很高兴能回到家，但不久我注意到和我们一起的佩内洛普穿着我的衣服，而且我父母看上去更喜欢她，我想知道如果我不在家的话他们是否会想念我。后来，我把我的想法告诉了母亲，她说尽管佩内洛普是个可爱的女孩，但她始终不能取代我，我说：“她比我有耐心而且无论何时看上去她都比我要整洁大方。”母亲说这些都是非常好的优点，但我却是惟一个能扮演好自己角色的人。母亲让我感到尽管我有缺点———似乎还很多———但是，我被家中每一个人爱着，谁也无法取代。 我成了一个探寻者，想要知道自己到底是谁，又是什么让我变得独一无二。我的人生观开始改变。我需要一个坚固的基础来发展，我忍受住压力，不再做自己不喜欢做的事。而且我为真实的我感到高兴。渐渐地我越发肯定自己无可替代。 每个人在这个世界上都占有一个独一无二的位置。无论别人说什么，你自己怎么想，你都是特别的。所以，不要担心自己会被取代，因为你永远是惟一的。 太多的时候，我们总认为光明就在脚下，就在不远的前方，于是忘了去仰望头顶的那片天…… If you put a buzzard1) in a pen2) six to eight feet square and entirely open at the top, the bird, in spite of its ability to fly, will be an absolute prisoner. The reason is that a buzzard always begins a flight from the ground with a run of ten to twelve feet. Without space to run, as is its habit, it will not even attempt3) to fly, but remain a prisoner for life in a small jail with no top. The ordinary bat that flies around at night, who is a remarkable nimble4) creature in the air, cannot take off from a level place. If it is placed on the floor or flat ground, all it can do is to shuffle5) about helplessly and, no doubt, painfully, until it reaches some slight elevation6) from which it can throw itself into the air. Then, at once, it takes off like a flash. A bumblebee7) if dropped into an open tumbler8) will be there until it dies, unless it is taken out. It never sees the means of escape at the top, but persists9) in trying to find some way out through the sides near the bottom. It will seek a way where none exists, until it completely destroys itself. In many ways, there are lots of people like the buzzard, the bat and the bumblebee. They are struggling about with all their problems and frustrations10), not realizing that the answer is right there above them.

新课标下的高中英语阅读能力的培养
新课标下农村高中英语阅读能力的培养 摘要：《高中英语新课程标准》明确要求：高中英语教学应“侧重培养学生阅读能力”。因此，阅读理解在高中英语学习中占据着重要地位。目前，《课标》对阅读理解教学和检测提出了更新更高的要求，如何培养学生英语阅读能力是一个当务之急的课题。英语课程标准目标要求能读懂简单读物和报刊、杂志，克服生词障碍，理解大意。能根据阅读目的运用适当的阅读策略。但由于农村中学学生使用英语环境面狭小，学生手头资料少、课外补充阅读少，学生的阅读能力还有很大的欠缺。本文就我所处的农村中学英语阅读教学所面临的困难做了细致的分析，找出合适的对策予以解决，并指出了掌握科学的阅读技巧和阅读方法是提高英语学习水平的重要手段。 关键词：农村中学阅读能力阅读方法能力培养 一、现状与影响学生阅读能力的因素 农村中学较之城市中学在资源配置上差距很大。城市学校设施齐全、资料丰富、师资强，而农村学校在各条件上正相反，不要说语音室，就连资料都不齐全，教材也有城市化倾向，总体讲是起点高、难度大、内容多，农村中学师生均不能很好适应。其次，在生源上，以我校为例，学生高一年的录取成绩是整个福清地区最后几名，很多学生在初中时的英语基础就很差，对英语的兴趣不高，尤其是在阅读方面，进入高中，随着难度的加大，学生的兴趣也在慢慢呈下滑趋势。本人对进行英语学习和教学活动的学生和教师进行了调查，结果反映出影响农村英语阅读的因素
学生本身的语言认知水平、智力水平、生理发展水平、心理因素等一般因素外，影响农村中学英语阅读教学的相关因素还有以下方面： 1、语言基础知识对阅读理解的影响 目前农村中学学生接触的英语材料大都只有课本及练习，英语阅读课在很大程度上还停留在以文章作为实体而非载体的基础上，通过阅读材料传授语音、词汇、语法等语言知识，忽视了培养学生运用科学的阅读策略和方法去获取信息的能力，忽视了语言运用能力的真正养成，学生独立学习能力相当有限。新课程强调从学生的学习兴趣、生活经验和认识水平出发，倡导体验、实践、参与、合作与交流的学习方式和任务新的教学途径，发展学生的综合语言运用能力，使语言学习的过程成为学生形成积极的情感态度、主动思维和大胆实践，提高跨文化意识和形成自主学习能力的过程要提高阅读的理解能力，丰富的词汇，扎实的语法知识和熟练的习语等对学生来说都是至关重要的。 （1）词汇量 影响学生阅读的第一关是词汇量。一个人掌握的词汇越多阅读时所遇到的障碍越小；反之，掌握的词汇少，容易曲解其含义，误解整个句子，甚至整篇文章。扩大词汇量的方法有多种。如：注重学习与积累，我们知道词汇的积累是一个循序渐进的过程，掌握科学的记忆方法，多看多读，积少成多；掌握构词法，通过词的合成，转化，派生来记忆单词，不仅能扩大词汇量，而且有助于记忆如；通过近义词，反义词等联想对比法以及对于熟词偏义，具有特殊意义的词加以记忆

It was pouring outside. The kind of rain that gushes over the top of rain gutters, so much in a hurry to hit the Earth, it has no time to flow down the spout. 她和妈妈刚在沃尔玛结束购物。这个天真的小女孩应该6岁大了，头发是 美丽的棕色，脸上有雀斑。外面下着倾盆大雨。雨水溢满了檐槽，来不及排走，就迫不及待地涌涨上地面。 We all stood there under the awning and just inside the door of the Wal-Mart. We all waited, some patiently, others irritated, because nature messed up their hurried day. I am always mesmerized by rainfall. I get lost in the sound and sight of the heavens w ashing away the dirt and dust of the world. Memories of running, splashing so carefree as a child come pouring in as a welcome reprieve from the worries of my day. 我们都站在沃尔玛门口的遮篷下。大家都在等待，有人很耐心，有人很烦 躁，因为老天在给他们本已忙碌的一天添乱。雨天总引起我的遐思。我出神地 听着、看着老天冲刷洗涤这世界的污垢和尘埃，孩时无忧无虑地在雨中奔跑玩 水的记忆汹涌而至，暂时缓解了我一天的焦虑。 Her voice was so sweet as it broke the hypnotic trance we were all caught in, "Mom, let's run through the rain." she said. 小女孩甜美的声音打破了这令人昏昏欲睡的气氛，“妈妈，我们在雨里跑吧。”她说。 "What?" Mom asked. “什么？”母亲问。 "Let's run through the rain!" She repeated. “我们在雨里跑吧，”她重复。 "No, honey. We'll wait until it slows down a bit." Mom replied. “不，亲爱的，我们等雨小一点再走。”母亲回答说。 This young child waited about another minute and repeated: "Mom, let's run through the rain." 过了一会小女孩又说：“妈妈，我们跑出去吧。” "We'll get soaked if we do." Mom said. “这样的话我们会湿透的。”母亲说。 "No, we won't, Mom. That's not what you said this morning," the young girl said as she tugged at her Mom's arm."

英语美文欣赏15 个性的价值被高估了 Have you ever thought about what your own personality is like? 你有没有想过，你自己的个性到底是怎样的？ If you are asked to describe yourself with three words, which three words would you choose? 如果让你用3个词来概括你自己，你会选择哪3个单词？ Or, do you actually have no idea what your own personality is like? 还是说，其实你自己并不清楚自己的个性是怎样的？ Are you actually a person with no personality? 或者你其实是个没有什么个性的人？ But then again, is personality really so important? 但是，话说回来，个性这个东西真的那么重要吗？ Kenya Hara, a leading design personality in Japan, once said: 日本的设计大师原研哉有一句名言： The value of personality, as well as the explicit expression of likes and dislikes, have been unnecessarily overestimated. 个性的价值，以及明确表达喜欢、不喜欢的态度，都被不必要地高估了。 It is a good thing that we live in a society where all people are free to express their desires. 我们身处一个所有人都能自由表达其欲望的社会，这是一件好事。 But freedom can also bring confusion. 但自由也会带来迷失。 What some people are really seeking is not to enjoy the freedom itself, but to force others to see their freedom. 有些人真正在寻求的已经不是享受自由本身，而是强行让别人看见自己的 自由。 For example, “I want to eat Mac Donald’s” and “Mac Donald’s will do mean to eat Mac Donald’s. 例如，“我想吃麦当劳”和“麦当劳就行”表达的本来都是去吃麦当劳。 But it seems that the former embodies a person’s independence, while the la reflects the lack of assertiveness. 但似乎前者体现了一个人的独立，而后者体现的是没主见。 However, is this really necessary? 然而，这样做真的有必要吗？ Is one’s daily performance of independence with a variety of acts not an
