英语阅读篇一给年轻人的忠告Remember, my son, you have to work. Whether you handle a pick or a pen, a wheel-barrow or a set of books, digging ditches or editing a paper, ringing an auction bell or writing funny things, you must work. If you look around you will see the men who are the most able to live the rest of their days without work are the men who work the hardest. Dont be afraid of killing yourself with overwork. It is beyond your power to do that on the sunny side of thirty. They die sometimes, but it is because they quit work at six in the evening, and do not go home until two in the morning. It’s the interval that kills, my son. The work gives you an appetite for your meals; it lends solidity to your slumbers, it gives you a perfect and grateful appreciation of a holiday.谨记，我的年轻人，你们必需工作.不管你是使锄头还是用笔，也不管是推手推车还是编记账簿，也不管你是种地还是编辑报纸，是拍卖师亦或是作家，都必需有一份工作，并为之努力奋斗.假如细致视察四周的人，你就会发觉，那些工作最努力的人最有可能安享晚年而无须去工作.不要胆怯超负荷的工作会缩短你的寿命，缺乏三十岁的年龄，你的承受实力远不止如此.假如说真的有人过早送命，那完全是因为他们在晚上六点完毕工作，却要在外流连到凌晨两点才归家.我的年轻人，正是晚上六点到凌晨两点的这段时间的生活毁了他们自己.工作会增加你的食欲，工作会使你坦然入睡，工作将会使你心满足足地享受假日。

英语美文阅读篇一A Reason, Season, or Lifetime你生活中的人们People come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime.When you figure out which one it is, you will know what to do for each person.人们走进你的生活，或者是为了一个缘由，或者他们只停留一段时期，或者他们永久与你相随。
一旦明晓其中毕竟，你就知道该如何面对他们了。
When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally, or spiritually. They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrongdoing on your part, or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand. Sometimes they die. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. Your need has been answered, and now it is time to move on.有的人消失在你的生活中是有缘由的，通常他们填补了你流露出来的需要：帮你渡过难关，教导和支持你，切实地在情感上、精神上关心你。

经典的英语文章阅读篇1Most of us are taught to pay attention to what issaid-the words.Words do provide us with some information,but meanings are derived from so many other sources that it would hinder our effectivenessas a partner to a relationship to rely too heavily onwords alone.Words are used to describe only asmall part of the many ideas we associate with any given message.Sometimes we can gain insight into some of those associations if we listen for more than words.We dont always say what we mean or mean what we say.Sometimes our words dont mean anything except Im letting off some steam.I dont really want you to pay close attention to what Im saying.Just pay attention to what Im feeling.Mostly we mean several things at once.A person wanting topurchase a house says to the current owner,This step has to be fixed before Ill buy.Theowner says,Its been like that for years.Actually,the step hasnt been like that for years,but the unspoken message is: I dont want to fix it.We put up with it.Why cant you?The search for a more expansive view of meaning can be developed of examining a message interms of who said it,when it occurred,the related conditions or situation,and how it was said.When a message occurs can also reveal associated meaning.Let us assume two couples do exactly the same amount of kissing and arguing.But one couple always kisses afteranargument and the other couple always argues after a kiss.The ordering of the behaviors maymean a great deal more than the frequency of the behavior.A friends unusually docile behaviormay only be understood by noting that it was preceded by situations that required an abnormalamount of assertiveness.Some responses may be directly linked to a developing pattern ofresponses and defy logic.For example,a person who says No! to a serials of charges likeYoure dumb,Youre lazy,and Youre dishonest,may also say No! and try to justify hisor her response if the next statement is And youre good looking.经典的英语文章阅读篇2Dear,it is raining now,can you hear itDear,I am missing you now,can you feel itDear,do you remember those wonderful days we spent together,I jus t can’t bear smiling when thinking of you Dear,do you remember we walked along the street that afternoon and now I can still feel the gentle windDear,do you remember?do you understand ?Dear,I can never request you to love me,even in hope of itDear,I kno w I can never compare with her,I don’t have beautiful appearance and a figure of goldDear,I just want you to know,what I want is very small and simple.I will be more than happy to see you and talk with you Dear,I just want to be your friends as usual,and we can talk about current affairs easily and even comment President Bush’s policy freelyDear,I still don’t know,why do you cheat me! She is my friend,my best friend,certainly I know I will give you my best wishes......Dear,I still remember your words,your only words: I wish youto study hard and make more progress so that you can enter Beijing normal university and your dream will come true.There will be plenty of excellent boys in that university and each one will be much better than I,I just don't deserve youDear,I said nothing at that moment,but,but,only I know when I turned around,tears can’t help fallingDear,I haven’t seen you for two years,and now maybe my dream has come true,and I already learnt to protect myself..but why are you keeping on cheating me?I don’t want the world to see me,because I don’t think that they can understandWhen everything is made to be broken,I just want you to know who I am经典的英语文章阅读篇3December 13,an ordinary day in this special year,d oesn’t mean anything much to me.I went to work at 8:30am as usual,prepared for an important official meeting and called several of my business partners.My mind was filled with all of paper work stuff until I saw the calendar on my desk.Oh,no! It’s going to be the year end!Too many unforgettable things have happened on me that I don’t even know which I should recall first.I joined the government,went to South Africa,Hawaii,interpreted for the vice mayor of the city,met lots of foreign businessmen,divorced with Maggie and decided to leave for where I was in year 2001.Life is quite sarcastic,because my career journey looks like a big circle.I joined the Labor Bureau as an intern in 1997; I left for Singapore the next year and came home in 2000.I stayed in FX for 4 years and ended up resigned for Maggie (because a couple is not allowed to work in the same dept in FX).Now I came backto government.When I looked back at the road I had been walking on,I saw a big circle!2005,the governmental events year! I’ve exp erienced the Korean Week,Japanese Week,the CIEME (China International Equipment Manufacturing Expo),The CEO Forum of the World Top 500 Companies,Shenyang Utilizes Agents to get investment meeting…etc.Now I know I can make my resume more complicated but attractive!My marriage is considered a total failure this year! I take it as my fate and start to face my new life.It’s really hard,though! Leaving a girl who’d been with me for 5 years is not an easy-to-make decision! The lesson is costly.The wounds,cuts and whatever injures caused by my marriage will be sewed up soon.Anyway,I said farewell to her,and to the year 2005.Christmas is coming.The New Year is coming.It seems as if I had seen the dawn already! This winter is freezing cold,but my heart are no more frozen!经典的英语文章阅读篇4The waterfall behind our house at the lower end of Lake Edenwold is a thundering cascade of spring runoff from the melting snows of winter.It's been a three-week drum roll leading up to today,when the cymbal will crash and the earth will arrive at that point in its orbit around the sun where it will be light for as many hours as it will be dark.Today is really the celestial climax to a prelude whose crescendo has been growing now for a month in the forests and lakes all around us.Beginning in late February and through the month of March on my Saturday morning hikes through the lower Highlands,I have watched spring slowly unfold before my eyes.A pair of hooded mergansers suddenly appeared on our lake earlier this month and I heard the unmistakable call of a wood duck.Several thousand feet overhead,an enormous,migratory flock of Canada geese undulated like strands of limp black thread suspended against a steel gray sky; their wild honking clearly audible in spite of the flock's altitude.Just a little more than one week ago,as I came to a place in the woods where the forest suddenly yields to what is a wild flower meadow in the late spring and summer,the bare trees were filled with hundreds of red-winged blackbirds,their cacophonous chatter filling the otherwise still morning air.It was an eerie harbinger of spring,reminiscent of the Alfred Hitchcock movie "The Birds." Later that same afternoon,a small flock of cedar waxwings,another migratory species of songbirds stopped for a rest in a nearby tree only two blocks from our house.Man has always been fascinated with the arrival of spring.King Solomon weighed in on it when he wrote these words from his "Song" in the Old Testament: "See! The winter is past; the rains are over and gone.Flowers appear on the earth; the season of singing has come,the cooing of doves is heard in our land.The fig tree forms its early fruit; the blossoming vines spread their fragrance."The arrival of spring has always marked a rebirth of sorts,not just for nature but also for us humans.It is a time of awakening,a time to forget the old and to embrace the new.For most kids it's simply a time when they can play outside longer,riding their new bicycles and skateboards or shooting hoops in driveway basketball courts.For some adults it can be a serious time,a release from the seasonal depression caused by the reduced hours of sunlight during the dark months of winter.But for most of us,it is a release from the mundane things that after three months have added up to the point where we are all just ready for a change.You know: things like having to wear layers of heavy clothing,white-knuckle drives to work on icy roads,and leaving home mornings in the dark only to drive back home again in darkness later the same afternoon.The crocus and daffodils will soon start peeking their heads above last year's pine bark nuggets and what's left of the winter snow still piled in the beds under the white pines out by the road.They are yet another prelude to the appearance of more flowers and birds: the warblers and the tanagers that will shortly appear in the trees around my home.I can't wait to inhale the aromas of things like the warming earth,new mown grass,and fresh piles of damp cedar mulch.And I am looking forward to that first morning when I can sit outside on my deck with a cup of coffee and feel comfortable without having to don a fleece or a heavy woolen shirt.Whatever your passion in life,take time like the busy King Solomon to pause from it for a moment over the next few weeks and just sit and watch and enjoy the spectacle of spring unfold before your eyes.And give thanks.经典的英语文章阅读篇5It was supposed to be my first day on job today,cause I was told by one of the leaders from the Foreign Trade & Economy Bureau to get to work at 8:30am this morning.And I did as she told me so.It was 8:05am when I reached the mansion,which is an old building,built around 1990s’.Seeing nobody in the office,I could only stand at the end of the corridor and take a smoke.It waspretty embarrassing for me cause I only did that when I was a salesman in Singapore.I never like the feeling of waiting for somebody alone! I still remember the old times when I hided myself on the fire-corridors and did nothing but taking cigarettes.That is absolutely the worst way to kill time!Back to the point,Mr.Liyang,one of the vice directors of the bureau finally approached me and we had a conversation about 10 minutes,regarding on the bureau’s background,duties,privileges,and whatever I concern about.Then I knew I was going to join a really busy bureau,cause I would have lots of work to do everyday.Fortunately,I will still have weekends.And I was told seldom we would work over time.However,there is one thing that I still worry about.What if the director of the bureau does not allow me to get on board,or he just prolongs the probation period?Even though I have strong confidence on myself these years,I feel a bit nervous,cause I really want to be a member of the bureau.Who knows what the hell I was thinking of.Anyway,I said yes to him and that was a confirmation which proves my joining in the bureau.Then I know I would have a monthly payment no more than RMB2000.And I will get that amount until I retire! Is that terrible?Mr.Zhang,my ex-boss,told me that I am too young to be a government officer.He said I would have to clean the office,take care of the flowers and get hot water for the leaders everyday.He was afraid that I could not bear it for long in the government.Anyway,I am optimistic on my career life and I know I'm gonna make a great difference up there!经典的英语文章阅读篇6For Your Information OnlyI can not cook,despite the fact that I've been living abroadfor years,believe it or not I don't possess any of the following kitchen essentials,neither pan nor knife nor cooking oil.You name it and I definitely do not have it.Don't get the wrong picture though,it has got nothing to do with laziness,I have tried,believe me!My cooking days started when I first went abroad,with the intensive one month cooking training I had with my parents just before I left home.I cooked with enthusiasm.Every so often,the people I lived with would all cook some food individually and we would share them together.The comments such as "Delicious!',"Yummy!" had always been the comments for someone else's cooking,whereas mine would be "Hmm..interesting!","Ahh....fascinating" or something along those lines,all alternatives for "I didn't know food could be so tasteless." Bless them!Just in case you asked,I didn't like my own cooking much myself.Since I was not a fussy eater,as long as I was not in starvation mode,no complaints,but somehow I cooked less,a lot less.The reason for that didn't have much to do with the discouragements I had recieved.The truth was I had never really enjoyed cooking,I mean all the preparation berforehand,the actul cooking itself and the clearing up afterwards,I thought it was a waste of time.Plus in my case,after all that effort just to produce something no one appreciated,including even myself,can you see the point in that?Well,I don't blame you.When I was living with one of my exes,it didn't take him long to find out I was a terrible cook,but it didn't bother him that much,I mean,come on,with a sexy gorgeous girlfriend like me,who gives a damn about my cooking skills?(That was a joke) Anyway,there was this one time,his friends came over and itjust happened that the day before a girl friend of mine metioned to me how she made popcorn on her own and how easy it all was.Just put in some butter,then add corn and finish with sugar.I could do that! So I gave it a go,but somehow as soon as I put the corn in,a huge amount of smoke came out,it went out of control and within seconds,the fire alarm in the house went off.Well,that was pretty impressive,but not in the way I had planned."Damn it Woman! Just keep away from the kitch will you!".,of course my then boyfriend didn't really say that,but that's exactly what I did afterwards,I stayed away from the kitch.(Mind you,I was NOT banned from the kitchen)A year ago,a friend I've known for more than ten years came to visit me from across the Atlantic.I had aways liked him since we were in school,as he had to live in my place for 2 weeks.Before he came,the girls I lived with taught me all their specialities,and when he finally came,Surprise! Surprise! I cooked with perfection.(T o this day,my cooking performance there still remains a mystery.)But then I suppose I had changed so much over the years and somehow I was not the girl he had once remembered.So at the end,my cooking was probably the only thing he liked about me.How ironic!Since then,I gave up cooking compeletely.Sometimes when I say to people that I can't cook,they would often say "But you are Chinese!",what's that got to do with anything?You know,sometimes I do think it's a shame that you can't shoot people for their stupidity.Anyway,this is for your information only.After all,they say the way to a man's heart is through his stomach,so while I'm still on the market,it's only wise to keep it hidden.I knew you wouldunderstand,Thank you!经典的英语文章阅读篇7Modern TechnologiesWe’re all enjoying the conveniences and happiness brought by modern technologies.We use telephones and mobile phones to call,emails to write and vehicles to drive; we go to another country by air planes; we see what is happening in the world by TV programs and Internet,and we even watch sports games on live.Nowadays,without these technologies,I can’t imagine what my life could be.I used to read an article describing the modern lives of human beings.It says we will have many phone numbers if we want to search for one person; we send emails and cell phone messages to our friends in stead of visiting them.More and more people would rather sit in front of a computer than a TV.And we seldom go to libraries to check information now,because the Internet would do all the jobs.We use digital cameras,scanners,photocopiers,blue teeth technology and digital signals for our cell phones… It seems as if we were living in a real digital world.Actually I guess we are,though.Since we are so developed and advanced,why we are less civilized?We are easily mad with our broken computers; we fed up with things we don’t like; we call our lovers to say “farewell and good-bye” and we are afraid to face the facts which are cruel and real.We’re led to a trend that there will no more face-to-face communications.I would rather chat with my friends with OICQ and emails these years,instead of seeing them in reality.I hide myself inside my car so that I can flee away from dirt,air pollutions,robberies,thieves,winds,rains and snows.However,Icould not taste the spring rain and the winter snow either.The nature is fleeing away from me too!Should I thank modern technologies or blame them?I wonder if you have got the right answer.经典的英语文章阅读篇8The only thing legible on the torn envelope was the return address.I opened the letter and saw that it had been written in 1944 —almost 60 years ago.I read it carefully,hoping to find some clue to the identity of the wallets owner.It was a "Dear John" letter.The writer,in a delicate script,told the recipient,whose name was Michael,that her mother forbade her to see him again.Nevertheless,she would always love him.It was signed Hannah.It was a beautiful letter.But there was no way,beyond the name Michael,to identify the owner.Perhaps if I called information the operator could find the phone number for the address shown on the envelope."Operator,this is an unusual request.Im trying to find the owner of a wallet I found.Is there any way you could tell me the phone number for an address that was on a letter in the wallet?"The operator gave me her supervisor,who said there was a phone listed at the address,but that she could not give me the number.However,she would call and explain the situation.Then,if the party wanted to talk,she would connect me.I waited a minute and she came back on the line."I have a woman who will speak with you."I asked the woman if she knew a Hannah."Oh,of course! We bought this house from Hannahs family thirty years ago.""Would you know where they could be located now?" I asked."Hannah had to place her mother in a nursing home years ago.Maybe the home could help you track down the daughter."The woman gave me the name of the nursing home.I called and found out that Hannahs mother had died.The woman I spoke with gave me an address where she thought Hannah could be reached.I phoned.The woman who answered explained that Hannah herself was now living in a nursing home.She gave me the number.I called and was told,"Yes,Hannah is with us."I asked if I could stop by to see her.It was almost 10 p.m.The director said Hannah might be asleep."But if you want to take a chance,maybe shes in the day room watching television."The director and a guard greeted me at the door of the nursing home.We went up to the third floor and saw the nurse,who told us that Hannah was indeed watching TV.We entered the day room.Hannah was a sweet,silver-haired old-timer with a warm smile and friendly eyes.I told her about finding the wallet and showed her the letter.The second she saw it,she took a deep breath."Young man," she said,"this letter was 经典的英语文章阅读篇9Any FPS fans here?I am playing Call of Duty 2 a lot these days.It is such an awesome piece with realistic sound and visual effects.The somke part is breath-taking,it is like you are watching a WW2 blockbuster rather than playing a PC game.You have a range of mean weapons to grab and fight with,as MP 40,MG 42,Kar98k,Lee Enfield,Scoped Springfield...you name it.Just these names are enough to arouse me;)MP 44 is my favorite gadget,and since you can only play the Allied side,I often discard Thompson or M1 Grand for it.They say MP 44 is actually the forebear of all modern assault rifles likeKalashnikov and M16,they can't be much wrong.Another drawing factor is you are fighting with a squad,with soldiers throwing himself between you and the whizzing bullets,knocking off machine gunners so you can venture out your cover,and disabling armored vehicles when you think death is hovering around you.Instead of taking from the gaming experience,it is a more truthful design showing respect to the fact you seldom act alone in a major operation.Lock and load,boys,give the enemey hell!经典的英语文章阅读篇10My Girlfriend is Cat---- By smellycattyWe knew each other on the forum of New Oriental School.That time,we both had been hurt,drifting in a lonely city for a long time,yearning to fly,and craving for true and forever love.I studied GMAT by myself in a rented small flat,she was working hard to go abroad as a post-doctor.Studying for the test,writing her emails,and having long talks over the phone late at night became a habit as well as the happiest moments of my otherwise boring and lonely life.Before long,I found myself attached to the sweet voice and the gentleness of the girl I had never met.One night,before I hung up the phone,a sadness and romance surged up in me.And I said to her: “I want to sing a song to you.” I used to be a big music fan in college.I listened to music as a way of dealing with the bland school life.And I also liked to yell some tunes in the corridor or on my way back to my dorm at night.Some people labeled my style “street singer” who’s from the suburb of Hong Kong.The song I sang that night is the original Japanese version ofan old song by t he name of “Half Full Moon(月半弯)”.As I already said,I sang it thousands of times on the street,in corridor and Karaoke Bars.But my performance has never been that good this time.I didn’t know or wasn’t sure what kind of person she would be in my life.Maybe a friend on the Internet,maybe just an ordinary friend,or even my future girlfriend,I had absolutely no idea.She was some girl I hadn’t met,so I just treated her as a listener to my heart.What happened later was an abrupt twist.One dark and windy night,our friendship became a love caught on fire because of my not bad singing.On an impulse,I whispered to her,“Tell you the truth,all my life,I am looking for someone,with her,we could become happy for the rest of our life.”On the other end of the phone,she choked up and started sobbing.All of a sudden,I realized that both she and I wished to bring the other happiness.From my past experience and instinct,I thought that I should do something immediately.So a few days later,driven by curiosity and passion,I decided to visit her.My surprise visit indeed shocked her.It seemed to me that she still wanted to keep on our relationship by telephone and ter she told me that this gave her lots of romance and fun for imagination.Urged by my pleading and threatening,she showed up,a small girl with embarrassment and excitement all over her face.I was more than one head tall than her.Walking beside her,I turned my head and couldn’t see her.Her hairs were blown up by wind,brushing against my face and making me very itchy.I was trying very hard to figure out some topics,suddenly my hand was in her hand.This could be the greatest embarrassment of my wholelife.Never before had my hand been hold by a girl first.In a second,I felt like that I became a girl walking on the street with hand hold.We walked and walked.A long time passed,we tried to loose each other up by talking about some funny things.She was much easy-going than I thought she would be.But I was much shyer than I used to believe.经典的英语文章阅读篇11Many Chinese believe that for China to be strong its trade account must not be in the red.It must have a trade surplus to grow prosperous.So if we look back at 5000 years of Chinese history,it would be surprising that the time China’s trade was in the red was also just when the ‘middle kingdom’ was at its peak during that dynasty.For example,during Han Dynasty,China ran a trade deficit for centuries with neighboring countries,and it was also the time China became the center of the Asia.Another obvious example is the Tang and Song Dynasty (from 7th century to 11th century),when China was again in a trade deficit with nearly all its neighbors.China was then experiencing shortages of gold,silver or even bronze,but none of this had blocked the red dragon from being the strongest nation at that time.But at the end of Song Dynasty,just decades before the Chinese were invaded and defeated by Mongolians,China became the main exporter in Asia and it was one of the several periods when China was weak.Historians cannot simply conclude this as coincidence.Recent history tells the same story.The end of 19th century was a nightmare for the ancient nation.Many blamed the trade deficit that resulted from opium trade as the plague which caused the weakness of China’s economy in the late Q ing Dynasty.However,if we put opium trade aside,China was still alarge exporter in the world while it imported little from the outside world.At some point,China’s trade partners had to use opium as a way to pay for their trade deficit with China.Earlier,in the middle of the 18th century,China could produce enough opium for domestic market and also become an exporter in normal definition,but it didn’t help China to be a stronger nation at all.When China launched its first industrialization campaign,it’s tra de soon turned into red again,but this happened during the last struggle of Qing Dynasty in its dying years.After its opening-up in 1978,China was in the red again for eleven years,with the exception of 1983.The government is implementing of a strategy of stimulating exports initially from China’s opening-up.It is a reasonable policy for a post-communism economy which is lack of an efficient fiancé system and a minimum-required foreign currency reserve.Since 1990,China has been chalking up trade surplus with the exception of 1993.In 2004,the trade surplus of China amounts to $70 billion,of which $58.6 billion from Sino-US trade.With its expanding of trade surplus,its economic rapid growth continues for decades.At the same time,Chinese factories are famous for dumping cheap goods from advantages of its low-cost labors and poor environment standard.After all,China is developing,much faster than EU,US,Japan or any other major power of the world.There is no doubt that China is regaining its strength and will be a major economic power in the 21st century.What will China bring to the globalization of economy?Even for a country of 1.2 billion population and 960 square kilometers,there is no unlimited supply of cheap labor or unlimited tolerance of environment pollution.However,thedemand of the 1.2 billion population market in a fast-growing economy could be the powerful engine of the global economy in human history.Some of Chinese key officials and scholars has turned to pro-deficit attitude on this debate and more and more people realize that China has no responsibility to supply the world with cheap goods while the living standard of Chinese people are below average level.While those booming Chinese companies have shown their appetites for raw materials on the global market,the extravagance of Chinese wealthy family in cities has given hopes to global manufacturers.Most of the pressure to grow imports comes from China’s trade partners,especially US and Japan.A strong wind calling for the revaluation of RMB has been blowing since the beginning of 2003,and some even criticize China as an exporter of deflation.At the same time,huge amounts of hot money flow into China despite capital controls that strictly limit money flows into this country.Chinese officials have openly refused to revaluate RMB under pressure and some even say that its a conspiracy to sacrifice China’s economy without bringing benefits to the global economy.But those strong words against the revaluation of RMB were more or less for internal politics.The government then began to boost the imports to ease the pressure on the currency.Domestically,there are more and more criticisms against the stimulating-export policies,especially the tax reimbursement policy.The tax reimbursement to exporters has aggravated the fiscal deficit of the central government.The government has paid 125 billion RMB and 115 billion RMB for tax reimbursement.This appropriation was far from the amount incurred every year and up to the end of 2003,the tax reimbursement in arrears reached。

英语经典美文阅读(5篇)英语经典美文阅读 1One day, the time management expert lectured to a group of business school students.He made a demonstration at the scene, which left a lasting impression on the students.Standing in front of students with high iqs, he said, let's take a quiz. Take out a one-gallon jar and set it on the table in front of him. Then he took out a bunch of fist-sized rocks and carefully placed them in a jar. When the jar was over the top of the jar and no more rocks could fit in, he asked, “is the jar full?" All students should say: "full!" . The time management expert replied, "really?" He reached under the table and pulled out a bucket of gravel. He poured some of the gravel in, and tapped the glass bottle wall to fill the gap between the stones. "Is the jar full now? "He asked the second time. But this time the students understood, "probably not," one student said. "Good! Experts say. He reached under the table and pulled out a bucket of sand. The sand is filled with all the gaps between the rock and the gravel. Once more he asked the question, "is this jar full?" "No! "Shouted the students. Onceagain he said, "good! Then he took a pitcher of water and poured it into the jar until it was flat. Looking up at the students, he asked, "what is the point of this illustration?" One eager student raised his hand and said, "no matter how tight your schedule is, if you work hard, you can do more!" "No!" The time management expert said, "that's not what it really means. This example tells us that if you didn't blow up the rock first, you couldn't put it in the bottle anymore. So, what are the big rocks in your life? Spend time with the people you love, your beliefs, education, dreams? Remember to deal with these big rocks first, otherwise, you can't do it all your life!So tonight, perhaps this morning, you are reading this essay, and you have tried to ask yourself this question: what is the "big rock" in my life? Then, please put them in the bottle of your life first. It is better to be busy with dreams than to lose your dreams by being busy!英语经典美文阅读 2You cannot change the laws of physics . but could physics actually enable us to travel through time?It might sound crazy, but according to Einstein‘s theories, there‘s no logical reason why time travel isn‘t possible.Time travel is clearly a trickier proposition than space travel,though. And prior to Einstein, it would have been deemed utterly impossible! That‘s because the old idea about time was that it was like a cosmic metronome keeping a regular and constant beat throughout the universe. And it was thought to move in one direction only .However, what physicists now know is that time is rather more flexible than the old “ Clockwork Universe” ideas they had it. And it was Albert Einstein who set the cat among the pigeons.Einstein‘s theories about time and space were revolutionary. He b ecame a celebrity__and not just in scientific circles. It‘s only since he published his theories that scientists have been able to demonstrate that space and time really behave the way he said they did.In 1971, after Einstein‘s death, two scientists w ere able to carry out a crucial experiment. They used two atomic clocks, synchronized them, and placed one on a plane, while the other stayed in the same location on Earth. The plane then flew around the world for 80 hours. According to Einstein‘s theory, the clock on the plane would be expected to have lost time, due to being in motion over 80 hours pared to the clock on the ground. Whenthey brought the clocks together and made a parison, the clock on the plane was indeed a few nanoseconds slower than the other clock. The experiment was replicated in 1996 with advanced technology, and it was proved again__with an even bigger time difference this time. Which proves that not only is time “ warp-able” , but Einstein was arguably the greatest thinker the world has ever seen.If it were possible, however, it would present some pretty knotty paradoxes... For example, what if someone or something traveled back in time and changed the ensuing future? And have you heard the one about the time traveller who dots back and forward in time and by means of various medical technologies is able to be his own father AND mother?! And besides, if time travel is possible, where are all the people from the future__surely they‘d want to e and meet us poor stranded 21st century beings?英语经典美文阅读 3"Can I see my baby?" the happy new mother asked.When the bundle was nestled in her arms and she moved the fold of cloth to look upon his tiny face, she gasped. The doctor turned quickly and looked out the tall hospital window. The baby had been born without ears.Time proved that the baby's hearing was perfect. It was only his appearance that was marred. When he rushed home from school one day and flung himself into his mother's arms, she sighed, knowing that his life was to be a succession of heartbreaks.He blurted out the tragedy. "A boy, a big boy...called me a freak."He grew up, handsome for his misfortune. A favorite with his fellow students, he might have been class president, but for that. He developed a gift, a talent for literature and music."But you might mingle with other young people," his mother reproved him, but felt a kindness in her heart.The boy's father had a session with the family physician... "Could nothing be done?""I believe I could graft on a pair of outer ears, if they could be procured," the doctor decided. Whereupon the search began for a person who would make such a sacrifice for a young man.Two years went by. One day, his father said to the son, "You're going to the hospital, son. Mother and I have someone who will donate the ears you need. But it's a secret."The operation was a brilliant success, and a new person emerged. His talents blossomed into genius, and school andcollege became a series of triumphs.Later he married and entered the diplomatic service. One day, he asked his father, "Who gave me the ears? Who gave me so much? I could never do enough for him or her.""I do not believe you could," said the father, "but the agreement was that you are not to know...not yet."The years kept their profound secret, but the day did e. One of the darkest days that ever pass through a son. He stood with his father over his mother's casket. Slowly, tenderly, the father stretched forth a hand and raised the thick, reddish brown hair to reveal the mother had no outer ears."Mother said she was glad she never let her hair be cut," his father whispered gently, "and nobody ever thought mother less beautiful, did they?"英语经典美文阅读 4To respect my work, my associates and myself. To be honest and fair with them as I expect them to be honest and fair with me. To be a man whose word carries weight. To be a booster, not a knocker; a pusher, not a kicker; a motor, not a clog.To base my expectations of reward on a solid foundation of service rendered; to be willing to pay the price of success inhonest effort. To look upon my work as opportunity, to be seized with joy and made the most of, and not as painful drudgery to be reluctantly endured.To remember that success lies within myself; in my own brain, my own ambition, my own courage and determination. To expect difficulties and force my way through them, to turn hard experiences into capital for future struggles.To interest my heart and soul in my work, and aspire to the highest efficiency in the achievement of results. To be patiently receptive of just criticism and profit from its teaching. To treat equals and superiors with respect, and subordinates with kindly encouragement.To make a study of my business duties; to know my work from the ground up. To mix brains with my efforts and use system and method in all I undertake. To find time to do everything needful by never letting time find me or my subordinates doing nothing. To hoard days as a miser does dollars, to make every hour bring me dividends in specific results plished. To steer clear of dissipation and guard my health of body and peace of mind as my most precious stock in trade.Finally, to take a good grip on the joy of life; to play the gamelike a gentleman; to fight against nothing so hard as my own weakness, and endeavor to grow in business capacity, and as a man, with the passage of every day of time.英语经典美文阅读 5It seems to me a very difficult thing to put into words the beliefs we hold and what they make you do in your life. I think I was fortunate because I grew up in a family where there was a very deep religious feeling. I don’t think it was spoken of a great deal. It was more or less taken for granted that everybody held certain beliefs and needed certain reinforcements of their own strength and that that came through your belief in God and your knowledge of prayer.But as I grew older I questioned a great many of the things that I knew very well my grandmother who had brought me up had taken for granted. And I think I might have been a quite difficult person to live with if it hadn’t been for the fact that my husband once said it didn’t do you any harm to learn those things, so why not let your children learn them? When they grow up they’ll think things out for themselves.And that gave me a feeling that perhaps that’s what we all must do-think out for ourselves what we could believe and howwe could live by it. And so I came to the conclusion that you had to use this life to develop the very best that you could develop.I don’t know whether I believe in a future life. I believe that all that you go through here must have some value, therefore there must be some reason. And there must be some “going on.” How exactl y that happens I’ve never been able to decide. There is a future-that I’m sure of. But how, that I don’t know. And I came to feel that it didn’t really matter very much because whatever the future held you’d have to face it when you came to it, just as whatever life holds you have to face it exactly the same way. And the important thing was that you never let down doing the best that you were able to do-it might be poor because you might not have very much within you to give, or to help other people with, or to live your life with. But as long as you did the very best that you were able to do, then that was what you were put here to do and that was what you were plishing by being here.And so I have tried to follow that out-and not to worry about the future or what was going to happen. I think I am pretty much of a fatalist. You have to accept whatever es and the only important thing is that you meet it with courage and with the best that you have to give.。

英语优秀文章1【原文】A more realistic approach toward international specialization is that of comparative advantage. This concept says that a nation has a comparative advantage in an item if it can produce it more efficiently than alternative products.【译文】参与国际分工的另一更为现实的做法是采取比较优势的做法。
比较优势是指假如一个国家生产某种产品比生产其他产品的效率高，那么它就具有生产该产品的比较优势。
【点评】英语语篇的衔接手段常用的有：大量使用代词指代前文中所提到的名词，偶尔重复使用名词本身，使用省略，使用上义词或同义词。
汉语中最常用的衔接手段是使用名词重复和省略，偶尔也使用代词和上义词或同义词。
知道了英汉两种语言的区别就可以在英译汉时注意汉语的特点，充分地再现原文信息。
本例句中原文中的that指代前文中的approach，在翻译成汉语时被翻译成了“做法”。
原文中的This concept指代上文中提到的comparative advantage，This concept 是Comparative advantage的上义词。
汉语译文将其还原成“比较优势”，由此可见汉语里是多使用重复名词的方式来衔接上下文的。
英语优秀文章2【原文】Over the last decade, the use of countertrade in international commerce has become more widespread. The practice isemerging as a vehicle for financing capital projects and production-sharing ventures, for ensuring the repatriation of profits from investments in countriesbeset by external debt and hard currency shortages, and for competitive bidding on major nonmilitary government procurements.【译文】在过去的十年间，对等贸易在国际商业中的应用已越来越广泛。

THE RULES THAT EVERY ACHIEVER KNOWSIn October 1982, a 25-year-old woman finished the New York City Marathon. No big deal-- until you learn that Linda Down has cerebral palsy and was the first woman ever to complete the 26.2-mile race on crutches. Down fell half a dozen times, but kept going until she crossed the finish line, 11 hours after she started. Her handicap limited her speed but not her determination.Henry Wadsworth Longfellow once wrote:"Great is the art of beginning, but greater the art is of ending."How nice it would be if we all had a genie who could help us finish what we begin. Unfortunately, we don't. But what we do have is a dynamic called discipline---which extracts a high price. Following one of Paderewski's performances, a fan said to him, "I'd give my life to play like that." The brilliant pianist replied, "I did."Accomplishment is often deceptive because we don't see the pain and perseverance that produced it. So we may credit the achiever with brains, brawn or lucky break, and let ourselves off the hook because we fall short in all three. Not that we could all be concert pianists just by exercising enough discipline. Rather, each of us has the making of success in some endeavor, but we will achieve this only if we apply our wills and work at it. How can we acquire stick-to-itiveness? There is no simple, fast formula. But I have developed a way of thinking that has rescued my own vacillating will more than once. Here are the basic elements:"Won't" power. This is as important as will power. The ancient Chinese philosopher Mencius said, "Men must be decided on what they will not do, and then they are able to act with vigor in what they ought to do."Discipline means choices. Every time you say yes to a goal or objective, you say no to many more. Every prize has its price. The prize is the yes; the price is the no. Igor Gorin, the noted Ukrainian-American baritone, told of his early days studying voice. He loved to smoke a pipe, but one day his professor said," Igor, you will have to make up your mind whether you are going to be a great singer, or a great pipesmoker. You cannot be both. " So the pipe went.Delayed gratification. M. Scott Peck, M.D., author of the best-seller the Road less Traveled, describes this tool of discipline as "a process of scheduling the pain and pleasure of life in such a way as to enhance the pleasure by meeting and experiencing the pain first and getting it over with."This may involve routine daily decisions---something as simple as skipping a favorite late-night TV show and getting to bed early, to be wide awake for a meeting the next morning. Or it might involve longer-term resolves. A young widow with threechildren decided to invest her insurance settlement in a college education for herself. She considered the realities of a tight budget and little free time, but these seemed small sacrifices in return for the doors that a degree would open. Today she is a highly paid financial consultant.The secret of such commitment is getting past the drudgery and seeing the delight. "The fact is that many worthwhile endeavors aren't fun," says one syndicated radio and TV commentator. "True, all work and no play makes Johnny a dull boy. But trying to turn everything we do into play makes for terrible frustration, because life --- even the most rewarding one --- includes circumstances that aren't fun at all. I like my job as a journalist. It's personally satisfying, but it isn't always fun."/programs/view/wHsyiMW-cf8/ 音频成功宝典1982年10月，一名25岁的女子完成了纽约市马拉松赛全程。
也许你认为这只不过是件稀松平常的事，但是你要知道，这名名叫林达道恩的女子是大脑性麻痹症的患者，同时她也是首位靠着拐杖完成26.2公里赛程的女选手。
虽然道恩在比赛过程中摔了6跤，但是她还是坚持向前，终于在开跑后11小时穿过了终点线。
不错，她的病情是限制了她的速度，但是那抵挡不了她的决心。
亨利·W·朗菲罗曾写道：“良好的开端固然不易，而完满的结局则更为难得。
”如果我们每个人都有一个小精灵来帮助我们完成由我们起头的事，那该有多好哇！不幸的是，这个小精灵根本不存在。
但是，我们有“自律”这个动力，这个宝贵的动力。
在帕德瑞夫斯基的一场音乐会结束后，一位乐迷对他说“如果能像您那样演奏，我愿意拿我的生命来换。
”而这位星光熠熠的演奏家回答说“我已然那么做了。
”成功往往不像表面上那么光鲜，因为我们看不到隐藏在成功背后的艰辛与坚持。
这样，我们常常简单地把成功归根于聪明的脑子，健壮的体魄，或许还有那么一丝丝运气。
不够聪明，不够健壮，不够好运——我们这样自我开脱。
这倒不是说每个人经过训练都能成为钢琴家，确切地说，任何人都有成功的条件，但是只有付诸行动才能真正获得成功。
可是怎样才能持之以恒呢？这可没有现成的公式。
但我自己琢磨出了一套思考方法，这可救了我那优柔寡断的性子不止一回了。
以下是几个基本的方法：首先是“无为”，这跟“有为”是一样重要的。
早在2000年前，中国的哲学家孟子就说了：“人有不为也，而后可以有为”。
自律就意味着选择。
当你对某个目标或目的说一次“是”，同时，你就否定了其他选项。
每次的成功都有他的代价。
如果这个成功是“是”，那么它的代价就是“不是”。
著名的乌克兰美裔男高音歌唱家伊格尔·格林在他学习声乐时有这么一则轶事：伊格尔·格林很喜欢抽烟，有一天，他的老师对他说：“伊格尔，你必须得在伟大的歌唱家和了不起的烟棍中选一个，你不可能同时成为这两个。
