Also, be sure to check to see f they have a dress code and tell your date n advance what to wear. When your food arrves, proper dnnng etquette requres you to eat at a moderate pace so that you have tme to talk.A good measure of how fast you should eat s to count 10 seconds between each mouthful and t’s a bad dnng etquette f you gobble down your food and you spend the rest of the tme watchng your date eat. Don’t slurp your soup, smack your lps, or chew wth your mouth open. Nothng s more unsghtly than watchng someone talk and chew ther food at the same tme. Your napkn should be placed on your lap at all tmes.Don’t tuck t nto your belt or use t as a bb. f you have to get up, place t neatly on your seat. When eatng, your fork straght n your mouth. Don’t place your fork n the sde of your mouth as t ncreases the chances of food sldng away, whch could be very embarrassng. f you get food stuck n your mouth don’t pck t out wth your fngers or fork at the table. Excuse yourself and go to the restroom and get t out wth a toothpck. When dnnng, keep your eyes on your date at all tmes and try to smle between mouthfuls. Occasonally,you should make an effort to show some nterest and ask questons lke,“How do you lke the beef?” f she needs anythng, you arethe one who s supposed to flag down the water by a gentle wave of the hand untl someone notces you.4级晨读英语美文2n ths crss thnk may be pardoned f do not address the House at any length today, and hope that any of my frends and colleagues or former colleagues who are affected by the poltcal reconstructon wll make all allowances for any lack of ceremony wth whch t has been necessary to act. say to the House as sad to Mnsters who have joned ths government, have nothng to offer but blood, tol, sweat and tears. We have before us an ordeal of the most grevous knd. We have before us many, many months of struggle and sufferng. You ask, what s our polcy?say t s to wage war by land, sea and ar.

And men guarded t and tended t, and gave up lfe and fame to ad ts growth. n the hot days of ther youth, they came to the gate of the garden and knocked, beggng to be let n, and to be counted among the gardeners. And ther young companons outsde called to them to come back, and play the man wth bow and spear, and wn sweet smles from rosy lps, and take ther part amd the feast, and dance, not stoop wth wrnkled brows, at weaklngs work.And the passers by mocked them and called shame, and others cred out to stone them. And stll they stayed there laborng, that the tree mght grow a lttle, and they ded and were forgotten. And the tree grew far and strong. The storms of gnorance passed over t, and harmed t not. The ferce fres of superstton soared around t; but men leaped nto the flames and beat them back, pershng, and the tree grew. Wth the sweat of ther brow men have nourshed ts green leaves.Ther tears have mostened the earth about t. Wth ther blood they have watered ts roots. The seasons have come and passed, and the tree has grown and flourshed. And ts branches have spread far and hgh, and ever fresh shoots are burstng forth, and ever new leaves unfoldng to the lght. But they are all part of the one tree—the tree that was planted on the frst brthday of the human race. The stem that bears them sprngs from the gnarledold trunk that was green and soft when whte-hared Tme was a lttle chld; the sap that feeds them s drawn up through the roots.4级晨读英语美文4You may unswervngly love or be loved by a person. But love wll change ts composton wth the passage of tme. t wll not reman the same. n the course of your growth and as a result of your ncreased experence, love wll become somethng dfferent to you.n the begnnng you beleved a fervent love for a person could last ndefntely. By and by, however," fervent" gave way to " prosac" . Precsely because of ths change t became possble for love to last. Then what was meant by an everlastng love would eventually end up n a sort of nterdependence.We used to nsst on the dfference between love and lkng. The former seemed much more beautful than the latter. one day, however, t turns out theres really no need to make such dfference. Lkng s actually a sort of love. By the same token, the everlastng nterdependence s actually an everlastng love.wsh could beleve there was somebody who would love me forever. Thats, as we all know, too romantc to be true. nstead, t wll more often than not be a case of lastng relatonshp.4级晨读英语美文5f somebody tells you, " ll love you for ever," wll you beleve t?dont thnk theres any reason not to. we are ready to beleve such commtment at the moment, whatever change may happen afterwards.

But an everlastng love s not mmutable.4级晨读英语美文6"On the 14th of March, at a quarter to three n the afternoon, the greatest lvng thnker ceased to thnk. He had been left alone for scarcely two mnutes, and when we came back we found hm n hs armchar, peacefully gone to sleep-but forever."An mmeasurable loss has been sustaned both by the mltant proletarat of Europe and Amerca, and by hstorcal scence, n the death of ths man. The gap that has been left by the departure of ths mghty sprt wll soon enough make tself felt."Just as Darwn dscovered the law of development of organc nature, so Marx dscovered the law of development of human hstory: the smple fact, htherto concealed by an overgrowth of deology, that manknd must frst of all eat, drnk, have shelter and clothng, before t can pursue poltcs, scence, art, relgon, etc.; that therefore the producton of the mmedate materal means of subsstence and consequently the degree of economc development attaned by a gven people or durng a gven epoch form the foundaton upon whch the state nsttutons, the legal conceptons, art, and even the deas on relgon, of the people concerned have been evolved, and n the lght ofwhch they must, therefore, be explaned, nstead of vce versa, as had htherto been the case."But that s not all. Marx also dscovered the specal law of moton governng the present-day captalst mode of producton and the bourgeos socety that ths mode of producton has created. The dscovery of surplus value suddenly threw lght on the problem, n tryng to solve whch all prevous nvestgatons, of both bourgeos economsts and socalst crtcs, had been gropng n the dark."Two such dscoveres would be enough for one lfetme. Happy the man to whom t s granted to make even one such dscovery. But n every sngle feld whch Marx nvestgated -- and he nvestgated very many felds, none of them superfcally -- n every feld, even n that of mathematcs, he made ndependent dscoveres.4级晨读英语美文7At age 89, Mary Fasano graduated wth a bachelor s degree from the Extenson School last week and entered the hstory books as the oldest person to earn an undergraduate degree at Harvard. Followng s the speech she delvered -- "The Power of Knowledge" -- at the Extenson School dploma awardng ceremony:remember one nght a few years ago when my daughter was frantc wth worry. After my Harvard Extenson School classes, usually arrved at the bus staton near my home by 11 p.m., but on that nght was nowhere to be found. My daughter was nervous. t wasn t safe for a sngle woman to walk alone onthe streets at nght, especally one as defenseless as am: can slay a mugger wth my sharp wt, but m just too short to do any real physcal damage.That nght my daughter checked the bus staton, drove around the streets, and contacted some frends. But she couldn t fnd me -- untl she called my astronomy professor who told her that was on top of the Scence Center usng the telescope to gaze at the stars. Unaware of the tme, had gotten lost n the heavens and was only thnkng about the new thngs had learned that nght n class.Ths story llustrates a habt have developed over the years: lose track of the tme when t comes to learnng. How else do you explan a woman who began hgh school at age 71 and who s graduatng wth a bachelor s degree at 89? may have started late, but wll contnue to learn as long as am able because there s no greater feelng, n my opnon, than travelng to a faraway country as have and beng able to dentfy by sght the pantng of a famous artst, the statue of an obscure sculptor, the cathedral of an ancent archtect. have found that the world s a fnal exam that you can never be prepared enough for. So wll contnue to take classes and tell my story.Lately t seems that everyone s askng me, "Mary, what advce do you have for other students?" So whle have you all here, m gong to ease my burden of answerng you each ndvdually:f the sayng s true that wsdom comes wth age, you may safely assume that am one of the wsest people n ths hall and possbly at ths unversty today. So lsten to me when tell you ths: Knowledge s power.My studes were nterrupted when was n the 7th grade, back sometme around World War . loved school but was forced to leave t to care for my famly.was consgned to work n a Rhode sland cotton mll, where labored for many years. eventually marred and rased 5 chldren, 20 grandchldren, and 18 great-grandchldren. But all the whle felt nferor to those around me. knew was as smart as a college graduate. knew was capable of dong a job well -- had proved t by runnng a successful famly busness for decades that stll exsts. But wanted more. wanted to feel confdent when spoke and wanted people to respect my opnons.Does t surprse you to dscover how much you have n common wth an 89-year-old woman? know that many of you graduates today, whether you were born n 1907 or 1967, have faced smlar barrers to completng your studes and have sometmes felt nferor around those you work or socalze wth just because you ddn t have a degree.But am here today -- lke you are -- to prove that t can be done; that the power ganed by understandng and apprecatng the world around us can be obtaned by anyone regardless of socal status, personal challenges, or age. That belef s what has motvated me for the last 75 years to get ths degree. t s also the msson of the Harvard Extenson School. Wthout the support receved from ths school, mght not have graduated untl was 100 -- a phrase that many of you have probably used n jest.There are many students here who do not have the opportunty that do to speak ther mnds and have everybody lsten, whether they want to or not. But be assured, fellow graduates, that we are more smlar than you mght thnk. f you have treated educaton as your man goal, and not as a means to an end, then you, too, have probably been clamed as a mssng person once n your academc career, whether you were lost n the stars or the stacks of Wdener Lbrary.And you, too, know that the journey was worth t, and that the power of knowledge makes me the most formdable 89-year-old woman at the bus stop.4级晨读英语美文8f somebody tells you, " ll love you for ever," wll you beleve t?dont thnk theres any reason not to. we are ready to beleve such commtment at the moment, whatever change may happen afterwards.

英语四级晨读美文适合朗诵的

英语四级晨读美文适合朗诵的备考英语四级，晨读是我们提升英语阅读能力的很好途径，下面店铺为大家带来英语四级晨读美文，欢迎大家阅读!英语四级晨读美文篇一：University students are different.They come from different parts of the country,speak various dialects,and follow their distinctive regional customs.However, a closer look at their purposes of learning at universitywill enable us to classify them roughly into three groups:those who learn out of instinct,those who learn for a promising future, and those who learn with no definite purposes.Firstly, there are a handful of students who learn without fatigue simply because they like to learn.They read a great deal of British and American novels because they are keenly interested in literature. Others sit in front of the computer screen, working on one new program after another all day and all night because they have discovered beauty in complicated signal patterns, and dream of becoming “Bill Gates” one day.Secondly, there are job-oriented who work hard for a better career.It is arguable that the majority of university students fall into this category.After enrolling in the hottest specialty of the moment, they throw themselves into books, whether they like them or not,so as to absorb the most knowledge and to obtain all the available certificates,which may serve as a competitive edge in the cut-throat human resources market in four years’ time.Thirdly, there is a small fraction of students who learn without an aim.They take courses, finish assignments, enjoy life on campus,but lead a directionless life.They do not know what they are doing,nor what they are willing to do,nor what they will be doing after college.They are a group of “sleepers”.Studentsfrom all parts of the country gather in the same university.After four years, they part to continue their various lives.However, it is almost certain that those who learn out of instinct will be happy,those who learn with a determination will be professionally successful at least,and those who learn without an aim will end up with nothing.英语四级晨读美文篇二：in the united states,the fourth thursday in november is called thanksgiving day. on this day, americans give thanks for the blessings they have enjoyed during the year. thanksgiving is usually a family day,celebrated with big dinners and happy reunions. the first american thanksgiving was held in plymouth, massachusetts in 1621.in 17th century, a group of pilgrims left england to explore the new world. it was in september of 1620 when their ship called the “mayflower” left port with 102 men, women, and children on board.they landed in province town harbor after 65 days at sea.the pilgrims were poorly trained and poorly equipped to cope with life in the wilderness.during their first winter in the new land, they suffered tremendously.poor food, hard work, infectious diseases,and bitterly cold weather killed about half of them. by the end of this terrible first winter,only about 50 remained alive.one spring morning in 1621,an indian walked into the little village of plymouth and introduced himself in a friendly ter, he brought the indian chief, massasoit, who gave gifts to the people and offered assistance.the indians of massasoit’s tribe taught the pilgrims how to hunt, fish, and grow food.they taught the pilgrims to use fish for fertilizer in planting corn, pumpkins, and beans.because of this help from the indians,the pilgrims had a good harvest. governor william bradford was following anancient tradition when, in the fall of 1621, he issued a proclamation establishing a day of thanksgiving to god.the governor also decided to use this religious occasion to strengthen the bond of friendship between the pilgrims and their indian neighbors. so he invited chief massasoit and his braves to share the thanksgiving feast. the indians gladly accepted and sent five deer ahead.the pilgrim men went hunting and returned with turkey and other wild game.the women of plymouth prepared delicious dishes from corn, cranberries, squash and pumpkins.英语四级晨读美文篇三：i hate being a non-smoker.it is so boring! it occurred to me the other day that i really would be a lot happier if i smoked.when someone says “good morning” to me,i cannot just ignore him or her and go have a smoke.in fact, i seldom get an extra break in my workday.i cannot stop what i’m do ing to have a quick cigarette.i do not get to go outside and hang around talking to the other smokers at regular intervals on the pretense that i’m having nicotine fit.i’m not able to use nicotine as an excuse for my bad temper in the morning. if my nerves are jittery, i must have some sort of psychological problem. i cannot say it is because i have not had a cigarette. i can’t even go to the psychologist and pretend it is for “help to stop smoking.”i do not have anything to hold in my hand to calm my nerves.i do not get the satisfaction of throwing my butts down for others to clean up. no one praises me for trying to quit —because i never smoked in the first place. i do not have an excuse to buy new furniture because i accidentally make a burn mark on something. the candles on my birthday cake smoke more than i do. i don’t have to sit in the smoking section at a restaurant —and so i am always in the family section with people who have their kids along. at the theater, i do not have a reason to go out to the lobby during intermissions. i never have an excuse to get out of the house and run to the store for a package of cigarettes.yes, smokers are much happier people.if it were just not for that nagging little question about cancer, i’d smoke too.。

英语四级美文听力第10篇-Struggling in America

英语四级美文听力第10篇:Struggling in AmericaStruggling in AmericaThe United States of America is often seen as a nation in which the pursuit of happiness is not a dream but a reality.The sad truth is that although portrayed as an unusually easy life, life in America is as much of a struggle as in any other nation. For example, higher level education for Americans does not come easy. Although there are scholarships, grants and loans available, if the student fails to meet the criteria he is left with only personal resources to draw from.This takes him into a life with not only a school schedule to follow but perhaps, also, a work schedule and family life.These are often the difficulties that are not portrayed through the TV and movies. These are also the difficulties which many believe they will not encounter by attending an American college. In the second place, there is financial security.Many times what is portrayed of life in America is a life where “money is no object”.The fallacy in this is that each person has their own personal struggle and money is an object for the majority ofthe people, in spite of the comparatively higher wages available, the cost of living is also higher. Even though it may seem like one is making more money, just as much is spent in surviving.Thirdly is the belief that in the American way of life everyone has a good job. With the increasing advancements in technology, a well-paying job for those currently in the work force is getting harder to find. Those who have not been exposed to computers and other new methods of communication are finding this to be true. As it stands now, the job market is requiring at least a two-year degree from college, in order to make enough to live comfortably. Even then well-paid jobs are not easy to find, as it is sometimes believed because of the portrayal of life in America.。

英语四级作文范文阅读(实用46篇)

英语四级作文范文阅读第1篇In recent years, to get a certificate Why does this craze appear?To begin with, it is the employment pressure that forces college students to get more certificates. With the admission expansion of colleges, a lot more graduates have to face the fierce competition in the job market. How can one make himself more competitive? More certificates at hand, maybe. Furthermore, diploma and certificates are still vital standards by which a good many employers measure a person’s ability. In order to increase the qualifications for a job, the students compel themselves to run from one exam to another. From my point of view, we should be more rational when it comes to certificates, since certificates do not necessarily prove one’s ability. Being craz y in getting certificates blindly is nothing but wasting time. To conclude, we should focus on improving our ability but not getting a certificate of no practical value.英语四级作文范文阅读第2篇In China, there’s a saying that ^v^The landscape of Guilin tops that of any other place under heaven.^v^ In light of this, I will recommend Guilin as the first destination of my foreign friend’s trip to China.Overlooking the Li Jiang River, Guilin is located in the northeast of Guangxi. The name was derived from the cassia trees of the location. The trees line the streets of the town with yellow flowers blossoming every September, filling the air with sweet scent. Guilin is a place of breath-taking scenery. From ancient times, Guilin has been noted for its elegant landscape. It features beautiful mountains, clear rivers, grotesque rocks andmystic crags, which is a feast for the eyes. Sitting on a bamboo raft drifting down the river, visitors can see the varied shapes of the pinnacles reflected in the water. They will feel as if they were in a scroll of Chinese landscape believe that my foreign friend will marvel at the unparalleled beauty of Guilin.英语四级作文范文阅读第3篇Can money buy happiness? Various people have various answers. Some people think that money is the source of happiness. With money, one can buy whatever he enjoys. With money, one can do whatever he likes. So, in their minds, money can bring comfort, security, and so on. Money, as they think, is the source of happiness.But there are still a lot of others who think that money is the root of all evil. Money drives people to steal, to rob, and to break the law. A lot of people became criminals just because they were in search of money. And in the Western countries, there is nothing that can’t be bought by money. Many people lose their own lives when hunting it.I think that money is essential to life and we cannot do without money. But even though money is necessary to life, it can’t buy happiness. Happiness is not something that can be measured by money. It is a state of mind. One can have plenty of money, with which he can buy whatever he wants, and at the same time he is not happy because he is never satisfied orhe is troubled by various kinds of problems. Therefore, although money is necessary for a happy life, it can’t buy happiness.英语四级作文范文阅读第4篇English has been getting more and more popular in the last decade. Many countries have made English taught as the second language in schools. But why do students need English? If they do need, what do they need it for?Different students learn English for different purposes. Most of the students learn English because they need to read English textbooks or journals and attend English lectures, while a few students use it to talk to English-speaking visitors, attend seminars, or write letters and reports.?Whatever the purposes are, one thing is certain: Students need English, and English teaching should be strengthened in universities. However, the current teaching methods should be improved and the teaching materials should be updated to satisfy their needs.英语四级作文范文阅读第5篇As we all know, the situation of employment graduate is urgent nowadays. Employment becomes a major social issue in our country. More and more people pay great attention to it.This issue result from two aspects. First many undergraduates are finding jobs. They hope to get a job with high salary and other pensions. So the government and the society face great pressure. More job opportunities are needed to create for them.On the other hand, there are many vacancies of jobs in the west. So there comes an imbalance between the supply and demand in the east and the west. Few people want to seek jobs in the west. They prefer to live in the major cities, such as Beijing , shanghai and other developped areas. To solve this issue, it is a better choice to encourage people to seek jobs in the west. This also help to develop local economy and offer a brandew chance for graduates.英语四级作文范文阅读第6篇Charity is of utmost importance to us humans. While following a spate of scandals, some individuals and institutions involved in this field have encountered criticism in recent months. There are several reasons for this phenomenon. Above all, compared with those of developed countries, the charity awareness in our country is backward. Some people equal charity with donation, and therefore they believe that charity is the rich’s responsibility and has nothing to do with the middle-class and the poor. The second thing that must be taken into consideration is that a number of individuals and charitable organizations lack a sense of social responsibility, which results in the declining social credibility.For my part, I believe the following steps can address this situation. Firstly, people’s awareness of how profound influence charity can bring to our society should be heightened. Secondly, rigorous supervision must be carried out by the administrations involved, so that the charity activities will become more transparent.英语四级作文范文阅读第7篇Dormitory life is an indispensable part of college life. But sometimes the harmony in the dormitory is disturbed in one way or another.As is known to all, a harmonious dormitory life is important to college students and benefits all the members. On the one hand, we can have a good rest and put our heart into study. On the other hand, we will have a good mood and enjoy being together.There are several ways to create and maintain a harmonious dormitory life. Firstly, you have to evaluate your life-style and try to get rid of your dirty habits, if there are any. Secondly, when an annoying situation arises, you’ll just have to learn to tolerate each other and co-exist. Thirdly, you’ll have to share with each other and make good friends.In conclusion, we should try our best to build harmonious dormitory life for the sake of good study and good life.英语四级作文范文阅读第8篇Mike is one of my foreign friends. If he comes to our country, I shall take him to the Great Wall first. There exist three reasons for my decision.To begin with, the Great Wall symbolizes China ancient history. The Wall built from the 5th century BC until the beginning of the 17th century, experiencing our countrys various dynasties.Whats more, it embodies our primary principle: teamwork is everything. Obviously, it was rather difficult to build such a wall in the ancient days without any modern machines, because all the work had to be done only by hand. But millions of China people came together and made it a reality.Finally, the Great Wall expresses our determination to resist invasion. The Wall was originally a project of Qin dynasty designed to keep out the invaders. Although millions of people died for building the Wall, China people defended our own sovereignty.I believe that Mike will satisfy with my arrangement.英语四级作文范文阅读第9篇Many young people in China today prefer Western holidays to traditional Chinese festivals. Christmas is now celebrated by the younger generation all over China, and it has become especially popular as a romantic holiday for boyfriends and girlfriends or young married couples. Valentine\'s Day is also extremely popular, and even Halloween is being celebrated now.This phenomenon has actually developed quite naturally in recent decades due to our educational system\'s focus on English study and therefore on English-speaking cultures. To many students, Western culture has become a symbol of self-expression and freedom from restraint. Celebrating Western holidays has become a way for students to express their love ofsomething different from traditional Chinese culture, and to have fun together with their own generation.In my opinion, it\'s fine for students learning English and studying English-speaking cultures to celebrate Western holidays with their teachers and classmates. However, the way I see it, unless the young people later go abroad to live in those cultures, there is no reason for them to continue to celebrate them. We Chinese should hold on to our traditional festivals, the festivals which we have celebrated for centuries.英语四级作文范文阅读第10篇With the popularity of the Internet, network columns in which celebrities such as pop stars, atheles show off their wealth become prevalent.Opinions on this issue differ from person to person. An army of people, especially youngsters today are fond of these activities. Not only can they know about the latest information of these celebrities but also they can get their shopping desires stimulated by copying what the rich do. On the contrary, a number of people hold the negative attitude towards this phenomenon. They maintain that the show-off may mislead the public’s value of consumption that erode people’s outlook on life.For my part, despite the continuous improvement of people’s living standard, in China where the gap between the rich and the poor is increasingly widening, the rich should play at least a small role in helping those in povertity instead of flaunting their wealth.英语四级作文范文阅读第11篇^v^A new industry developed new stars of dress. You think of kind of Silicon Valley and all those new media industries where you know it\'s actually a virtue not to wear a suit, you know a suit\'s for squares - that\'s rather old-fashioned language. But you know there is a kind of reaction against the suit, isn\'t there?^v^^v^Yeah, I think when we see the 1960s, we see a move towards casualisation. And you\'re quite right in more formal industries like the law, like banking, people still wear the formal suit. But Silicon Valley, media people like yourself indeed wear open-necked shirts. But even in those areas now with the current difficulty with job market, you find it actually people are dressing flauntily more smartly. They are being a little more cautious. And when you look at the sort of best-dressed man in Britain today, guess what, he is backing a suit.^v^英语四级作文范文阅读第12篇Fast food is becoming more popular in China, especially among children and teenagers. Today、it’s certainly difficult to think of any other single thing that mirrors the fast pace of modern society as powerfully as fast food.There are several reasons for its popularity. First, it is very convenient and saves a lot of time. The trends of modern society seem to all point to one ultimate goal — saving time, and fast food well serves this purpose. Second, its popularity is also attributed to the clean andcomfortable environment of fast food restaurants, the excellent service, and the guaranteed quality of food.However From the nutritional point of view. It usually does not compose a balanced diet and doctors suggest that people, especially children, eat fast food as little as possible. Therefore, fast food is only a good choice when you are in a hurry and turn to it once in a while. (157 words)英语四级作文范文阅读第13篇As a product of modern computer and the Internet, online games have become very popular among college students. Many students have enjoyed great pleasure and satisfaction from these games. But as we see, some students lacking self-discipline are too much indulged in these games so that their health and academic performances are affected. This phenomenon has caused much worry from the teachers and parents.However, some others argue that online games are not always harmful. They can train the ability of youngsters to respond to things quickly. Moreover, they can stimulate their imagination and their interest in computer science. More importantly, it does bring college students much pleasure and release their pressure greatly.From my point of view, online games are a wonderful entertainment if you play them in a clever way. When they interfere too much with your study, it is better for you to give them up at once. But if you have enough self-control over them, you can certainly obtain real pleasure and benefit a lot from them.英语四级作文范文阅读第14篇With the modernization of the world, people’s standard of living has improved a lot. Then there appears a state of sub-health among people which poses a new threat to them.There are some tpical symptoms for people who are in a state of sub-health. First of all, those who suffer from it often have a headache or backache. Secondly, they feel like having a rest frequently. What upsets us most is that, the situation spreading countrywide. As a result, more and more workers in big cities are harassed by it, with a percentage of 75 in Beijing, 72 in Shanghai and 70 in Guangzhou respectively.Then how can we sovle this problem effectibely? Experts suggest that the best way to keep ourselves thealthy is to do exercises. It is also very important that people should form a good living habit, for example, getting up early and going to sleep early. Only doing so can we keep us healthy.英语四级作文范文阅读第15篇From the chart above, we can definitely get a conclusion that the more you learned, the higher your salary would be. The figures in the chart denied the claim that knowledge is useless. However quite a few people still hold the opinion that a higher education does no good to a better job since that there are many university students who can not get an ideal job.What I want to point out is that there is more than one factor that contributes to the failure of finding an ideal job for those who got a higher education. While those who failed to get a better education will hardly succeed in getting a good job because they didn’t get the knowledge systematically and scientifically.As the proverb goes like this, Knowledge is power. Education pays, sooner or later.英语四级作文范文阅读第16篇The rise of mobile phones has been blamed for a number of social ills, but your smart phone may also be making you physically sick as well.Scientists have identified a condition called “cybersickness”, which they say is the digital version of motion sickness.The phenomenon, which affects up to 80 percent of the population who own smartphones or tablets, leads to feelings of nausea and unsteadiness.It is caused by seeing fast motion on a screen and covers anything from a car chase in a film to scrolling through web pages on your phone.The more realistic the visual content is, the higher your chances of getting cybersickness. The condition was identified in a piece in the New York Times in which British and US experts said that it needed addressing.Cyriel Diels, a cognitive psychologist and human factors researcher at Coventry University’s centre for Mobility and Transport, said: “It’s a fundamental problem that’s kind o f been swept under the carpet in the tech industry.It’s a natural response to an unnatural environment.Motion sickness leaves sufferers feeling ill because they feel movement in your muscles and your inner ear but do not see it.The mismatch in digital sickness is the opposite—you see movement on the screen but do not feel it.The effect is the same and the symptoms include a headache, wanting to throw up, confusion and the need to sit down.Often cybersickness manifests itself in a subtle way and sufferers put it down to stress or eyestrain.Steven Rauch, a professor of otolaryngology at Harvard Medical School, said: “Your sense of balance is different than other senses in that it has lots of inputs.When those inputs don’t agree, that’s when you feel dizziness and nausea “Some studies that have been carried out into cybersickness found that women are more susceptible than men, the New York Times reported.Those who have Type A’ personalities—meaning they are confident and assertive—are more likely to suffer from cybersickness as well.Among those who have reported experiencing the condition have been video gamers who spend hours playing fast paced games.Cinema-goers have struggled with some scenes in action movies which have quick cuts and fast editing—and virtual reality has made the problem even worse.Jonathan Weinstein, a professor at the Kanbar Institute for Film and Television at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts, said: “The idea is to get audiences to feel like participants in the action rather than outside observers of the action.Engineers at Oculus VR, the virtual headset manufacturer, have admitted that digital motion sickness is one of their biggest problems.英语四级作文范文阅读第17篇Nowadays more and more parents are eager to send their children to study abroad before they finish high school by whatever means and at whatever is quite understandable for parents to send their children to study overseas because they place high expectations on their children. They are encouraged by the success stories of those who have completed their overseas study.With the development of economy, companies and institutions at home are giving more and more emphasis on overseas experiences, too. Consequently, pursuing overseas study became a kind of short cut in gaining a better future. Moreover, there is still one underlying reason for this rush-economic reason. The rapid economic progress in the past few years in China has enabled more and more parents to afford the huge cost for their children’s overseas for m e, overseas study is surely a helpful way to get both advanced knowledge and necessary experiences, but overseas study at an early age is neither necessary nor benef1cial. The students may be too young to either tend for themselves or think for themselves. I do think that overseas study can contribute to one’s self-improvement, but it’s better to be pursued after one has finished his college study at home, when he is more capable of learning and living on his own.英语四级作文范文阅读第18篇Recent years have seen a tendency in China that tourism is growing faster. According to a recent survey made by some experts, about 47% urban residents travel regularly, and 28% rural residents also make their tour across the country. The survey also shows that more people are interested in tourism, and will join the army in the future. Facing this tendency, we can’t help exploring some underlying factors that are responsible. In the very first place, with the policy of reform and opening up, Chinese people’s living standard has been greatly improved, and therefore, most of them can afford to travel around. What’s more, it is believed that people now take a more positive attitude to tourism, and regard it as a life style. In addition, tourism facilities are becoming better and better. For example, transportation develops fast, and many scenic spots are available now.Though there are still some problems with tourism, I personally believe that tourism should be playing a key role in our life. I also hope that our government will make policies to create a better environment for tourists.英语四级作文范文阅读第19篇It is reported by the World Luxury Association that by 2012 China will have been expected to be the biggest trade and consumer center of luxury goods. And this provokes a heated discussion.There are many factors that have stimulated this great change of consumption value. First of all, the rising of living standard enables people to afford the luxury goods. Secondly, owing to the high quality and famous designer, consumers prefer luxuries as long as the goods meet their needs in terms of aesthetics or collection value. Last but not least, it is vanity that derives more and more people to buy luxury goods. Consumers prefer so much to imitate their idols like pop stars that they just blindly pursue the trend and label themselves as rich. As a college student, I am supposed to buy what I can afford. I’ll take the factors like style , quality and design into consideration, regardless of whatever the brand is.英语四级作文范文阅读第20篇It has been said that when people succeed,it is because of hard work and that luck has nothing to do with I believe that hard work is very important and is the surest way to success for most people,I must disagree with this cannot be denied that luck often plays an important role in example,many important discoveries have been made by have been many cases of researchers and inventors making major breakthroughs while they were actually trying to solve another problem or create a different device.Furthermore,there is something to be said for simply being in the right place at the right time-perhaps meeting someone by chance who can offer a good job or rare of course,there are the rare examples of gamblers and lottery winners who beat the odds and achieve sudden and unexpected success.While the influence of luck cannot be ignored,this is not to say that one should depend on it and ignore the value of hard one is willing to work hard,I believe that success will eventually be achieved,with or without the added benefit of work is often an essential ingredient of luck because it enables one to take advantage of a lucky the scientist has not worked hard to develop his knowledge and skills,he may not recognize that lucky breakthrough when it comes suggestion is not to count on luck to bring you hard and keep your eyes open for that lucky opportunity.英语四级作文范文阅读第21篇last week, li ning and i studied in classroom. suddenly, lining said to me that he had a headache .i asked he to see doctor. he said it was not bad. after 5 miniuts, lining sai to me his headache very serious. so i helped him go to hosptialalthought there was sars around us, but i felt very rm from this thing. it told me that the love from true heart can help come across any difficult. we are so lucky that we live in a big warmth family. and not very long, my classmate was getting healthy and could come to school again. how happy we were!英语四级作文范文阅读第22篇Do you need books?

You will find the books that you are looking forward to. The books will be helpful when you are preparing for some examinations or when you are busy with your dissertation. These used books are all in a good condition, which ensures pleasant reading experience for you.If you are really interested these books, and if you are expecting a good price for the books, just come and find what you are looking for. You won’t be let down. Please call me at x xx. Let’s make things better together.英语四级作文范文阅读第23篇Some people tend to stick to their positions all the time, as they think the longer one works in a particular field, the more skillful one will be at it. Some have been teachers all their lives. Some devote their life energy to scientific research. Such people love their work and turn out to be specialists in their own field. They are usually high achievers.Some are different. They are in the habit of job-hopping, for they always pursue what is new and stimulating. They never seem content with their present situation. Some like to meet more people, make more money and new acquaintances, so they hop from job to job.As far as I am concerned, I want to be professionally strong. I am not in favor of frequent job hopping, as the saying goes Jack of all trades, master of none. But I want to have opportunities for advancement and as many colleagues as possible to cooperate and communicate with so as to be more creative and less partial.英语四级作文范文阅读第24篇The urban traffic is getting increasingly crowded nowadays in China. The roads are pakced with cars, bicylces and pedestrians and traffic jams, bus delays and traffic accidents are a common scene.Then how to solve this problem? Some suggest to lay down more roads to make the traffic less crowded and speed up the flow of traffic. Others believe that we should open up more public bus routes, so that more people will take the public buses instead of travelling by cars and bicycles.Though above two views sound reasonable, they have their own drawbacks. The fomer may take up much land which could be used for farms and houses. The latter may cause inconvenience for those who are used to travelling by car or bicycles. I think the best answerto the traffic problem is a combination of the two. More roads can be built to hold more traffic and meanwhile more public bus routes can be opened up to those who prefer to use the public transportation.英语四级作文范文阅读第25篇Smoe people say that money is the best thing in the world. But I consider reading books as the best and the most precious thing one can ever have.Reading books is very important. First of all, it is knowledge that makes society develop and by reading books you can get all kinds of knowledge. Furthemore, reading books makes you a qualified person and makes your life enjoyable.One is never too old to learn. No matter what time you rcalize the importance of reading books, you can enjoy it during the rest of your life time. Love books, for they are your best friends.英语四级作文范文阅读第26篇There is no denying the fact that it is a controversial topic whether one should expect a reward when doing a good deed. People\'s opinions differ sharply on this issue. Some hold the positive view. They say that it is a natural thing for one to get rewarded after he has made contributions to the society, especially in an age of market economy. Otherwise, people would be discouraged from helping others.Others, however, hold the opposite view. They maintain that one should learn from Lei Feng and expect no reward when helping others. Anyway, everything is not a commodity. The whole society would be in danger if we all calculated conscience and affection in terms of money. Anyway, as the saying goes, it is love, instead of money, that turns the world around. Personally, I believe that we should not go to extremes. On the one hand, we should recognize and reward in time people who have done a good deed or good deeds; on the other hand, we should keep it in mind that we do not help others for money, but out of love and responsibility. Only in this way can we achieve a really harmonious society.英语四级作文范文阅读第27篇There is an undeniable fact that the number of animals is declining faster than ever before. According to a recent survey made by some experts, about 37 species disappear from our earth every year. It is obvious that the problem has become a serious one worth our concern. When we explore this problem, some underlying factors emerge. In the very first place, human beings have played a big part. With the fast development of human society, the environment is much destroyed, and animals lose their home. Accordingly, some species become extinct. What’s more, people hunt animals for food and skin. A good case in point is that the Japanese have killed a lot of whales because they like to eat the meat. In addition, human beings are largely responsible for the pollution of natural environment, and poison animals in many ways.The current problem, I believe, should be solved immediately. First of all, our government should play a key role in making relevant rules and protecting animals. The general public should also be educated to value the existence of these animals on our planet.英语四级作文范文阅读第28篇omen are playing an increasingly important part in society today. more and more women go to work to earn money instead of keeping the house or looking after the children. women have entered many fields of society including scientific field. as we know, many women sports teams have won the world’s champions such as chinese women’s volleyball team.ith the changes in their social role, women’s position in the family has been improved as well. husbands are not the masters of wives in many places. husbands and wives are equal now. they join together to overcome difficulties and share happiness.豹眎n spite of these changes, the liberation of women has not been completely realized. also in some places. women are considered being “thing” belong to men. they have little chance to find jobs. they don’t get equal pay for equal job. this is a problem must be solved not only by society but also by women themselves.英语四级作文范文阅读第29篇Students mental health has been playing an increasingly important role in our day-to-day life. Indeed, it is widely accepted that it has gained growing popularity among persons in all walks of life. There is a general discussion today about the issue of disorder in brains. Obviously, it is necessary that effective actions should be taken to prevent problems. Authorities in universities play a critical role in the situation. To begin with, schools, such as colleges or universities, can provide chances for the young men to ease their attention. Whats more, some are physically strong, but psychological problems are able to bring potential threats. Teaches may have a chance to find them in advance. Besides, specialists in this field are to be required to make full preparation for cases in time. Facing the crisis, experts can deal with it in a professional way, which means they have more or better opportunities to save us than others.英语四级作文范文阅读第30篇The use of translation apps is becoming increasingly popular. Why? Admittedly, in the contemporay society, an increasing number of people, with the help of translation apps, find it convenient to read foreign literature or essays.On the one hand, these apps can bring users greater efficiency and help them save more time or energy, particularly for those who have no knowledge of a foreign language. For instance, a host of people may have a variety of difficulties or troubles in learning English, but with the assistance of these apps, it will not be difficult for them to read and understand English materials. On the other hand, it is these apps that cuase some learners to lose motivation for studying. With Apps in hand, they are not willing to do their utmost to memorize new words, pratice speaking or writing skills every day. Fianlly, they will fail to get a good command of any foreign language.。

The best companion is one who is wiser and better than ourselves, for we are inspired by his wisdom and virtue to nobler deeds.一个好友胜过一笔财富，因为钱财买不到人的某些品德因素，而正是这些因素，使友情成为一种恩惠。

最好的朋友是那些比我们更睿智、更出色的人，我们会受到他们的智慧和美德的激励，从而使我们的行为更加高尚。

人们询问信息，玩游戏，分享爱好技巧。

其他人买卖产品。

还有人寻找友谊，甚至爱情。

然而，与现实世界不同，你对一个人的了解仅限于电脑屏幕上的文字。

身份和外貌在网络空间里意义很小。

相反，一个人的想法——或者至少是他们输入的想法——才是真正重要的。

所以即使是最害羞的人也会成为聊天室的明星。

通常，这种”匿名”交流不会产生问题。

当你在聊天室讨论政治或爱好时，身份并不重要。

事实上，这种对想法本身的强调使得互联网成为一个进行激动人心的对话的好地方。

还能有这么多人聚在一起聊天？但是一些网民想要的不仅仅是一个可以聊天的人。

他们在寻找认真的恋爱关系。

网络空间是寻找爱情的好地方吗？那个答案就看你问谁了。

其中一些关系实际上是成功的。

其他人失败的很惨。

在线关系的支持者声称，互联网允许夫妇们首先在智力上相互了解。

个人形象不会妨碍你。

但是网络关系的批评者认为，在网络空间里，没有人能真正了解另一个人。

为什么？因为互联网让用户可以很好地控制别人对他们的看法。

互联网用户可以精心制作他们的文字，以适应他们想要给出的任何图像。

他们不必担心他们的”非语言”交流对他们的形象有什么影响。

从某种意义上说，他们不是真正的自己。

如果这段关系留在网络空间，这一切可能都没问题。

但是不了解一个人是恋爱关系中的大问题。

有这么多未知，很容易让自己的想象力”填补空白”这就不可避免地导致情侣当面见面时的失望。

人们对网上朋友的想象往往与真实的人大相径庭。

因此，在网络空间寻找爱情之前，请记住互联网先驱克利福德斯托尔普的建议：”现实世界中的生活远比你在电脑屏幕上找到的任何东西都要丰富。

英语四级美文短篇篇1Last autumn we took a trip to Qianshan by bus.It is about thirty miles from the city.We planned to put up in a hotel there in order to watch the sun rise the next morning.As soon as we got there,we began to climb up the mountains.How great the sight is!We felt as if we had entered amother world full of beauty,peaeefulness and loveliness.There are hundreds of mountains,one after another.there are magnificent cliffs,one above another.We climbed up vigorously and breathed the fresh air greedily.As the sun was going down,we descended to a little hotel at the foot of the hill,where we had a big dinner,and then went to bed early so as to regain the energy ior the expedition next morning.Before daybreak,we reached the peak of the highest mountain after a hard groping and climbing in the dark.Unaware of the cold wind,we stood motionlessly,with our eyes fixing at the hr end of the east.Suddenly thin ravs of red hue spread across the sky.As the redness deepened,some mysterious clouds moved across thc sky,dividing heaven from the earth.Just at this moment,up from the brightening far east rose the sun.It was so red and yet so tender that we could gaze at it with naked eyes.and a slight applause from us.the amazed spectators,rangthrough the peak.Up,up it rose,adding to itself strength and glory at every step.It dazzled with vigour,driving away darkness,cold,and misery from the earth,and bring light,warmth,and happiness to men.We were completely amazed at the wonder and the greatness of nature.We jumped and shouted like innocent children and we bathed in the first rays of the sun with the peak till it was time for our return.英语四级美文短篇篇2Today,we all the teachers and students to play three grade.Where we have Luo Yang park and fish ponds,rice paddies,cotton.The Three Kingdoms period,liu bei's wife was born in the scenery pleasant place-Luo Yang park.To commemorate her,so to build a statue.Park scenery is very beautiful,have a fishing area,Bridges,pavilions and playground.Bridge is like a snake winding to the distance.In the not far away there is a small pavilion bridge,small pavilion side have a family,overgrown with dandelion,have several dragonfly flying on it?Rice fields on the right side of the park is so big,heavy ear smile,bending the waist.Our head teacher picked a toward her to,we the class the teacher gave us all."Cotton!" We all shouted in the car.The car led us to a piece of cotton field,a sea of flowers,look beautiful! Just to juggle,someone says "Siberian cocklebur",I looked down "wow" small xanthium sibiricum,covered with thorns.I picked small bypass (a didn't grown cotton home to mother.The teacher also took a photograph as a souvenir.From cotton field,and we came to the pond.An enter a door,he saw a tree with YiZhanZhan small lanternspersimmon,fantastic! There are a flock of sheep are grazing in the distance.We came to a small pavilion on the edge of fish ponds,out of the basket caught a fish food to feed the fish,but half a day in the past,no fish to eat.Today is happy,also learned a lot of knowledge!英语四级美文短篇篇3Much to our distress,these years have seen a widespread neglect of patriotic education in our society.According to some official reports,many patriotic education centers have been closed down or kept open to the public for other more profitable purposes while many of our national heroes have given way to today's pop stars in youths' minds.If this current is allowed to run its course,I am afraid,things are bound to turn for the worse,with less and less sense of patriotism left in the youth.The significance of patriotic education to our society,however,can be seen from the perspectives as follows.In the first place,the patriotic education can make youth more aware of the glorious history and culture of our nation,thus building up their sense of pride as Chinese.In the second,the patriotic education helps youth value today's hard-earned life so as to hold dearer their golden chances of enriching themselves with knowledge in peace.And above all,the patriotic education can push youth to draw upon more of their capabilities in order to make tomorrow's life better than today's and leave behind themselves more highlights for the nation's culture.To sum up,patriotic education is a key ingredient in the all-round development of youth.So the most pressing for us now is how to effectively inculcate patriotism in the youth of today.In my opinion,the first step should be focused upon giving fuller play to the potentialsof patriotic education centers instead of running them for the purpose of making money.Then,greater efforts must be made to integrate the patriotic education into the curriculums throughout youth's education.In one word,where there is an effective patriotic education of youth,there is a greater enhancement of national cohesiveness.It is the duty of every citizen to make the country rich and powerful (To make the country rich and strong is...).In order to accomplish this object one must be patriotic (love his country).I consider this an unchangeable truth.How can a student love his country (be patriotic)? I find my answer very simple and clear.He must study hard and store up knowledge so as to serve his (the) country in the future.If every student can do according to what I said,the country will certainly be rich and powerful英语四级美文短篇篇4ino-Japan problem is always a sensitive topic,a fuse which can trigger a serial of explosion.Some so-called patriots argue that buying domestic products is patriotism and proclaim that in particular all the Chinese should reject goods marked "made in Japan”。

If the cardinal virtue of poetry is love, the cardinal virtue of prose is justice; and, whereas love makes you act and speak on the spur of moment, justice needs inquiry, patience, and a control even of the noblest passions. By justice here I do not mean justice only to particular people or ideas, but a habit of justice in all the processes of thought, a style tranquillized and a form moulded by that habit.本质上，散文长于韵文，散文独有的品质逐渐显现。

若诗歌的主要品质是爱，那散文的主要品质就是正义;而且，尽管爱会让你一时心血来潮的去动作和表达，但正义则需要质询，耐心和对强烈感情的控制。

这里所说的正义，并非专对某些人或思想，正义是所有思想过程中的习惯，以及由此习惯铸就的形态和沉静的风格。

The master of prose is not cold, but will not let any word or image inflame him with a heat irrelevant to his purpose. Unhasting, unresting, he pursues it, subduing all the riches of his mind to it, rejecting all beauties that are not germane to it; making his own beauty out of the very accomplishment of it, out of the whole work and its proportions, so that you must read to the end before you know that it is beautiful.散文大家并不冷漠，但也不会因头脑发热，让任意与其目的无关的词汇或形象扰乱自己。

下面小编整理了大学英语经典四级晨读美文，希望大家喜欢!大学英语经典四级晨读美文摘抄Book and LifeBook and LifeBooks are to mankind what memory is to the individual.They contain the history of our race,the discoveries we have made, the accumulated knowledge and experience of ages;they picturefor us the miracles and beauties of nature, help us in our difficulties,comfort us in sorrow andin suffering, change hours of weariness into moments of delight,store our minds with ideas,fill them with good and happy thoughts, and lift us out of and above ourselves.Many of thosewho have had, as we say, all that this world can give,have yet told us they owed much of theirpurest happiness to books.Macaulay had wealth and fame, rank and power,and yet he tells usin his biography that he owed the happiest hours of his life to books.He says,"If any onewould make me the greatest king that ever lived,with palaces and gardens and fine dinners, andwines and coaches, and beautiful clothes,and hundreds of servants, on condition that I shouldnot read books,I would not be a king;I would rather be a poor man in a garret with plenty ofbooks than a king who didn't love reading. Precious and priceless are the blessings which thebooks scatter around our daily paths.We walk, in imagination, with the noblest spirits,through the most solemn and charmingregions. Without stirring from our firesides we may roam to the most remote regions of theearth,or soar into realms when Spenser's shapes of unearthly beauty flock to meet us,whereMilton's angels peal in our ears the choral hymns of Paradise.Science, art, literature, philosophy,—all that man has thought, all that man has done,—the experience that has been bought withthe sufferings of a hundred generations,—all are garnered up for us in the world of books.大学英语经典四级晨读美文鉴赏A Lesson of Life生活的一课"Everything happens for the best," my mother said whenever faced disappointment. "If you can carry on, one day something good will happen. And you'll realize that it wouldn't have happened if not for that previous disappointment. " Mother was right, as I discovered after graduating from college in 1932. I had decided to try for a job in radio, then work my way up to sports announcer.

Let me tell you that nothing is further from the truth。

The world is full of very rich peoplewho are as miserable as if they were living in hell。

We have read stories about movie stars who committed suicide or died from drugs。

Quite clearly， money is not the only answer to all problems。

Wealth obtained through dishonest means does not bring happiness。

Lottery winnings do not bring happiness。

Gamble winnings do not bring happiness。

To my mind，the secret to happiness lies in your successful work，There is no use sayingin your contribution towards others’ happinessand in your wealth you have earned through your own honest effort。

If you obtain wealth through luck or dishonest means，you will know that it is ill earned money。

英语四级晨读主题美文

英语四级晨读主题美文英语四级晨读主题美文六篇Feeling of YouthNo young man believes he shall ever die. It was a saying of my brother's, and a fine one. There is a feeling of Eternity in youth, which makes us amend for everything. To be young is to be as one of the Immortal Gods. One half of time indeed is flown-the other half remains in store for us with all its countless treasures; for there is no line drawn, and we see no limit to our hopes and wishes. We make the coming age our own-The vast, the unbounded prospect lies before us.Death. old age. are words without a meaning. that pass by us like the idea air which we regard not. Others may have undergone, or may still be liable to them-we "bear a charmed life“, which laughs to scorn all such sickly fancies. As in setting out on delightful journey, we strain our eager gaze forward- Bidding the lovely scenes at distance hail!And see no end to the landscape, new objects presenting themselves as we advance; so, in the commencement of life, we set no bounds to our inclinations. nor to the unrestricted opportunities of gratifying them. we have as yet found no obstacle, no disposition to flag; and it seems that we can go on so forever. We look round in a new world, full of life, and motion, and ceaseless progress; and feel in ourselves all the vigor and spirit to keep pace with it, and do not foresee from any present symptoms how we shall be left behind in the natural course of things, decline into old age, and drop into the grave. It is the simplicity, and as it were abstractedness of our feelings in youth, that （so to speak）identifies us with nature, and （ourexperience being slight and our passions strong）deludes us into a belief of being immortal like it. Our short-lives connection with existence we fondly flatter ourselves, is an indissoluble and lasting union-a honeymoon that knows neither coldness, jar, nor separation. As infants smile and sleep, we are rocked in the cradle of our wayward fancies, and lulled into security by the roar of the universe around us0we quaff the cup of life with eager haste without draining it, instead of which it only overflows the more-objects press around us, filling the mind with their magnitude and with the strong of desires that wait upon them, so that we have no room for the thoughts of death.我的职业.注定着要让我看多人世间生生死死的离别....这于"死亡"这个一直都很沉重.也不敢启齿."我们每个人,年轻的时候都不相信自己会死"。

最新四级晨读主题美文篇1Idleness , Bad HabitThere are some that profess Idleness in its full dignity, who call themselves the Idle, who boast2 that they do nothing, and thank their stars that they have nothing to do; who sleep every night till they can sleep no longer, and rise only that exercise may enable them to sleep again; who prolong the reign of darkness by double curtains, and never see the sun but to "tell him how they hate his beams"; whose whole labor is to vary the postures of indulgence3 , and whose day differs from their night but as a couch or chair differs from a bed.These are the true and open votaries of Idleness, for whom she weaves4 the garlands of poppies, and into whose cup she pours the water of oblivion; who exist in a state of unruffled stupidity, forgetting and forgotten; who have long ceased to live, and at whose death the survivors can only say that they have ceased5 to breathe.But Idleness predominates6 in many lives where it is not suspected; for being a vice which terminates in itself, it may be enjoyed without injury to others; and is therefore not watched like Fraud, which endangers property, or like Pride,which naturally seeks its gratifications in another's inferiority. Idleness is a silent and peaceful quality, that neither raises envy byostentation, nor hatred by opposition; and therefore nobody is busy to censure or detest it.There are others to whom Idleness dictates7 another expedient, by which life may be passed unprofitable away without the tediousness of many vacant hours. The art is, to fill the day with petty business, to have always something in hand which may raise curiosity, but not solicitude, and keep the mind in a state of action, but not of labor.No man is so much open to conviction as the idler, but there is none on whom it operates so little. What will be the effect of this paper I know not: perhaps he will read it and laugh, and light the fire in his furnace; but my hope is that he will quit his trifles, and betake himself to rational and useful diligence.最新四级晨读主题美文篇2CompetitionIt is a plain fact that we are in a world where competition is going on in all areas and at all levels.This is exciting.Yet, on the other hand, competition breeze a pragmatic attitude.People choose to learn things that are useful,and do things that are profitable.Todays' college education is also affected by this general sense of utilitarianism.Many college students choose business nor computing programming as their majors convinced that this professions are where the big money is. It is not unusual to see the college students taking a part time jobs as a warming up for the real battle.I often see my friends taking GRE tests, working on English or computer certificates and taking the driving licence to get a licence. Well, I have nothing against being practical. As the competition in the job market gets more and more intense, students do have reasons to be practical. However, we shouldnever forget that college education is much more than skill training. Just imagine, if your utilitarianism is prevails on campus, living no space for the cultivation of students' minds,or nurturing of their soul. We will see university is training out well trained spiritless working machines.If utilitarianism prevails society, we will see people bond by mind-forged medicals lost in the money-making ventures;we will see humality lossing their grace and dignity, and that would be disastrous.I'd like to think society as a courage and people persumed for profit or fame as a horese that pulls the courage.Yet without the driver picking direction the courage would go straight and may even end out in a precarious situation .A certificate may give you some advantage, but broad horizons, positive attitudes and personal integrities ,these are assets you cannot acquire through any quick fixed way.In today's world, whether highest level of competition is not of skills or expertise , but vision and strategy. Your intellectual quality largely determinds how far you can go in your career.最新四级晨读主题美文篇3Chinese Undergraduates in the USEach year, elite American universities and liberal arts colleges, such as Yale, Harvard, Columbia, Amherst and Wellesley, offer a number of scholarships to Chinese high school graduates to study in their undergraduate programs. Four years ago, I received such a scholarship from Yale.What are these Chinese undergrads like? Most come from middle-class families in the big urban centers of China. The geographical distribution is highly skewed, with Shanghai and Beijing heavily over-represented. Outside the main pool, a number of Yale students come from Changsha andNingbo,swhereseach year American Yale graduates are sent to teach English.The overwhelming majority of Chinese undergraduates in the US major in science, engineering or economics. Many were academic superstars in their high schools - gold medallists in international academic Olympiads or prize winners in national academic contests. Once on US campuses, many of them decide to make research a lifelong commitment.Life outside the classroom constitutes an important part of college life. At American universities the average student spends less than thirteen hours a week in class. Many Chinese students use their spare time to pick up some extra pocket money. At Yale, one of the most common campus jobs is washing dishes in the dining halls. Virtually all Chinese undergraduates at Yale work part-time in the dining halls at some point in their college years. As they grow in age and sophistication, they upgrade to better-paying and less stressful positions. The more popular and interesting jobs include working as a computer assistant, math homework grader, investment office assistant and lab or research assistant. The latter three often lead to stimulating summer jobs.Student activities are another prominent feature of American college life. Each week there are countless student-organized events of all sorts - athletic, artistic, cultural, political or social (i.e. just for fun). New student organizations are constantly being created, and Chinese undergrads contribute to this ferment. Sport looms much larger on US campuses than in China. At Yale, intramural sports from soccer to water polo take place all year long; hence athletic talent is a real social asset. One of the Chinese students at Yale several years ago was a versatile sportsman. His athletic talents and enthusiastic participation insporting events, combined with his other fine qualities, made him a popular figure in his residential college.最新四级晨读主题美文篇4I Want to KnowIt doesn’t interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for, and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart’s longing.It doesn’t interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love, for your dreams, for the adventure of being alive.It doesn’t interest me what planets ar e squaring your moon.I want to know if you have touched the center of your own sorrow, if you have been opened by life’s betrayals or have become shriveled and closed from fear of further pain!It doesn’t interest me if the story you’re telling me is true.I want to know if you can disappoint another to be true to yourself; if you can bear the accusation of betrayal and not betray your own soul. if you can be faithful and therefore be trustworthy.It doesn’t interest me to know where you live or how much money you have. I want to know if you can get up after a night of grief and despair, weary and bruised to the bone, and do what needs to be done for the children.It doesn’t interest me where or what or with whom you have studied. I want to know what sustains you from the inside when all else falls away. I want to know if you can be alone with yourself, and if you truly like the company you keep in the empty moments.It doesn’t interest me who you are, how you came to be here. I want to know if you will stand in the center of the fire with me and not shrink back.I want to know if you can sit with pain, without moving to hide it.I want to know if you can be with joy, mine or your own, if you can dance with wildness and let the ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes without cautioning us to be careful, be realistic, or to remember the limitations of being human.I want to know if you can see beauty , if you can source your life from god’s presence. I want to know if you can live with failure, yours and mine, and still stand on the edge of a lake and shout to the silver of the full moon, “Yes!”最新四级晨读主题美文篇5Beautythere were a sensitivity and a beauty to her that have nothing to do with looks. She was one to be listened to, whose words were so easy to take to heart.I have thought about her often over the years and how she struggled in a society that places an incredible premium on looks, class, wealth and all the other fineries of life. She suffered from a disfigurement that cannot be made to look attractive. I know that her condition hurt her deeply.Would her life have been different had she been pretty? Chances are it would have. And yet there were a sensitivity and a beauty to her that had nothing to do with looks. She was one to be listened to, whose words were so easy to take to heart. Her words came from a wounded but loving heart, very much like all hearts, but she had more of a need to be aware of it, to live with it and learn from it. She possessed a fine-tuned sense of beauty. Her only fear in life was the loss of a friend.It is said that the true nature of being is veiled. The labor of words, the expression of art, the seemingly ceaseless buzz that ishuman thought all have in common the need to get at what really is so. The hope to draw close to and possess the truth of being can be a feverish one. In some cases it can even be fatal, if pleasure is one's truth and its attainment more important than life itself. In other lives, though, the search for what is truthful gives life.The truth of her life was a desire to see beyond the surface for a glimpse of what it is that matters. She found beauty and grace and they befriended her, and showed her what is real.最新四级晨读主题美文篇6Work and PleasureTo be really happy and really safe, one ought to have at least two or three hobbies, and they must all be real. It is no use starting late in life to say: “I will take an interest in this or that.” Such an attempt only aggravates the strain of mental effort. A man may acquire great knowledge of topics unconnected with his daily work, and yet hardly get any benefit or relief. It is no use doing what you like; you have got to like what you do. Broadly speaking, human beings may be divided into three classes: those who are toiled to death, those who are worried to death, and those who are bored to death. It is no use offering the manual labourer, tired out with a hard week’s sweat and effort, the chance of playing a game of football or baseball on Saturday afternoon. It is no use inviting the politician or the professional or business man, who has been working or worrying about serious things for six days, to work or worry about trifling things at the weekend.It may also be said that rational, industrious useful human beings are divided into two classes: first, those whose work is work and whose pleasure is pleasure; and secondly, those whosework and pleasure are one. Of these the former are the majority. They have their compensations. The long hours in the office or the factory bring with them as their reward, not only the means of sustenance, but a keen appetite for pleasure even in its simplest and most modest forms. But Fortune’s favoured children belong to the second class. Their life is a natural harmony. For them the working hours are never long enough. Each day is a holiday, and ordinary holidays when they come are grudged as enforced interruptions in an absorbing vocation. Yet to both classes the need of an alternative outlook, of a change of atmosphere, of a diversion of effort, is essential. Indeed, it may well be that those whose work is their pleasure are those who most need the means of banishing it at intervals from their minds.工作和娱乐要想获得真正的快乐与安宁，一个人应该有至少两三种爱好，而且必须是真正的爱好。

You text your friends, your dates -- even your parents. It's quick, convenient, and usually makes your life more pleasant... except when you come face to face with the 10 worst texting offenses in the world. Check 'em out below, plus some advice on how to stop offenders(惹人生气的人，冒犯者) in their tracks.1. The Mass TextIt's Friday night, you're at home on the couch, and you get a text that goes something like this: "What are you getting into tonight?" You know for a fact that this very same text just went out to 20 other people at exactly the same time, and that the sender is just waiting to receive all his/her options before deciding what to do. So what if the only thing you have planned for the night is that lame Lifetime movie at 11? You refuse to hang out with someone unless they make specific plans to hang out with you. You know how you can block those newsletters that you never signed up for by sending an email with "unsubscribe(注销)" in the body? We suggest doing the samething in a reply-text.2. The Texting CultThere is always at least one point in the night -- a lull(暂停，间隙) in the conversation, a pause between thoughts -- when it gets really quiet, and you look around and realize that all your friends are busy texting. One person pulls out her iPhone while everyone else is looking at the dinner bill, and then someone else starts doing it, and before you know it, you're in the middle of the sacred circle of text.Resist(抵抗，压制) the urge to choose some random person in your contacts to send a useless message to. Instead, pull out your phone and send a text to everyone at the table asking, "Should we order something else?" It will make everyone laugh but also point out the silliness of the situation.3. The Double MessageOf course you screen calls. Everyone does. Sometimes you're in the middle of something and sometimes you just don't feel like talking. But your phone is still working, and you see the missed call and the voice message alert. So why -- why?! -- do certain people feel the need to send a text letting you know that they just left a message? Don't they realize that if someone is smart enough to read a text, they're also capable of understanding what the little bobble head with the sound waves coming out of him symbolizes? T ext back, "What's next, a carrier pigeon?"4: The Texting TeaseYou're seeing a really cute/smart/funny/cool new guy, and your heart skips a tiny beat every time you get a text from him. In the middle of the week, you get one asking what you're up to this weekend. Assuming he wants to do something together, you let him know that it's looking pretty relaxed so far. Does he then proceed to make a plan with you? No. He responds, "Oh OK,cool." You stand there with a perplexed(困惑的)look on your face. Respond "Yeah, but call my secretary if you want to schedule something." This way, the ball is in his court, but ultimately you're the one who is in charge, thanks to your confident attitude.5. The Bulk TexterAn example of what a series of texts from this person might look like:Hey! What's up?What are you doing tonight?Some of us are going to Cool People Club tonight.Around 10It's gonna be me and ChrisAre you coming?Let us knowByeee!lolzAn example of what that exchange should look like:Text 1: Hey, Chris and I are going to Cool People Bar around 10 tonight. Let us know if you wanna come.An example of what you could text back:Please never text me this way again. For "realz."6. The Bored TexterYou've just finished a sufficiently long and entertaining texting exchange with someone, and now you're ready to put your phone down for a little while. But your phone dings, and it's another text from said person. It looks like this: "Soooo..." Or, "What upppp." Or, "la la la..." Clearly, they have nothing else to say and just want something to do. Send a text saying, "Running, watching movies, reading books, baking." Your buddy will get the point that some people actually have a life.7. The Show-and-T ellerLove is wonderful. We're huge advocates(提倡者，拥护者) of love and being in love and enjoying that love. People gushing(迸出，涌出) on and on about their amazing love life? Not so much. Not only do you have to listen to them tell every insignificant story about how cute it was that their boyfriends ate pancakes for dinner and woke up with a funny hairdo(发型), but you also have to read all of their SUPER-cute texts. "Guys, look what he wrote to me! Omg look at what he said now! Haha aww, look at this one!!" The cure? A dose of(一服，一次) their own medicine. "Hey, look what my mom said about her gallbladder(胆囊)! Omg you won't believe how I'm planning to organize my sock drawer(抽屉)! Aww, my dog is wagging(摇动的，摆动的) his tail. Oh, he's doing it again!!"8. The Goobers-and-PopcornTexter The previews are over, you've been waiting to see this movie for weeks, and here you finally are, snacks in hand. But the guy in front of you insists on ruining your experience by texting for the entire 96 minutes. Here's a little secret he doesn't know: EVERYONE sees his phone lighting up. And hears it vibrating violently every two minutes. When the lights come up at the end of the flick(轻弹), call up a friend and loudly discuss how rude the guy texting throughout the entire movie was. Then get ready to start running.9. The Lingering KThis one is especially aggravating(恼火的) if you're not on an unlimited texting plan. You get a message asking how your day went or if you'll be free at a certain time, so you send back a detailed and informative reply. Your phone dings again. You open the message and it says..."k." Do people not even have thedecency(得体，礼貌) to include the o? The offender doesn't even need to reply to the message. But if they feel the need to, could they not at least drum up(竭力争取，招揽) something a little more personal/creative/not totally unnecessary? Respond by letting them know how much, to the cent, they owe you for superfluous(多余的) texts the next time you're together. Then hold your palm out expectantly.10. The Needs-to-Grow-UpTexter Guys should never, ever get comfortable with using text slang(俚语) andabbreviations(缩写). Whether he's a friend, date, or boyfriend, no girl wants to associate the men in their lives with tween-speak. The next time he sends you a "TTY L8ER" or "C U 2morrow," tell him that he should really consider an iPhone, BlackBerry, Sidekick, or "anything that gives you more room to text." He'll realize howoutdated(落伍的，过时的) his text-talk is.英语四级中长篇听力美文篇二I love you and I hate youIt is the true test of how human we really are. How much we can accept in our fellow humans. And really how much we want to accept. If we accept too much does that make us strong. And if we don't accept enough does that make us weak. Or is itthe other way around(从相反方向，倒过来) ?All these things are a true test of how much you are capable of loving.We all are born into this world with one thought - I shall love and be loved.I am not afraid of love I am afraid of what too much love for the wrong reasons can do. It can make you into a person that you don't know you have become until it is all-wrong.Until the day you look in the mirror and the reflection is not yours.We marry our true love and then as time goes by we tend to lose whom we once were. And if we can't find ourselves during this time of marriage then we become a shell that will eventually crack. And your marriage will soon become a divorcestatistic(统计数值) .Marriage is commitment to the love you have for someone but it should not be the end of your identity. Because if you let it then you will truly Love You But Hate You.Kahlil Gibran best said it many years ago in The Prophet on Marriage:We need to remember that I will love you but I will not become you. I will not allow us to become one. Love when people are like meet my other half - what? And especially when they throw in the humor meet my better half. It's there way of being all happy and cute. But is it setting yourselves up for a relationship that in time will fail? I guess it all depends on how independent of a person you were prior to(之前，居先) becoming one. And will losing your independence really be an issue.So don't be duped(欺骗，愚弄) into the relationship tricks. Be yourself and enjoy your partner as himself or herself not as you want them to be. Because you did fall in love with them knowing who they are.英语四级中长篇听力美文篇三Friends foreverDear Arizona,My friend is moving in a month—and not just to a different neighborhood, but to a whole different country! I'm so sad, I can hardly think about anything else. I know you can't make myfriend's family stay, but I'm hoping you'll at least have some helpful ideas. —Already Lonely in LondonDear Already Lonely,The first thing I want to say is—I'm so sorry your friend is moving!The second thing I want to say is-are you from London, as in London, England? That is so exciting! Have you ever seen the Queen? Is it true that people there drive on the left side of the road? How big is Big Ben, really?OK,I guess I should stop asking questions and get back to your letter-which reminds me of how beyond and I was when my friend Elizabeth had to move.I met Elizabeth in my very first karate空手道 class. I was the only new kid in the class. Everyone else knew a lot of the moves already and had yellow or orange belts.I had a total beginner's white belt and felt unbearably nervous the whole way through the class. I tried my hardest to follow along, but everything was way harder than I thought it would be.Afterward, as I was putting on my shoes, I was thinking, There is no way I am ever coming back to karate!And that's when I met Elizabeth."You did great!" I laughed. "I was so clueless无线索的，愚蠢的 !""That's how I felt at first, too," she said. "If you want, I can help you practice.""Really?" I said."Sure. By the way, I'm Elizabeth." She scribbled on the back of a karate schedule. "Here's my number.""Wow, that's so nice of you!" I said.She smiled. "No problem."Anyway, to make a long story short, I called her a few days later, and we've been amazing friends ever since.Now for the sad part. Not very long ago, Elizabeth had to move. Her family still lives in California, but if you know anything about my state, then you know it's gigantic. And I'm not positive about the exact geographic details, but the distance Elizabeth moved was about the same as if she had moved from London to Paris!"You can't move!" I screamed when she told me the terrible news."I know. That's what I told my parents,"she said. "But they said we don' have a choice. We'e moving in with my grandparents, and I guess it'll be way cheaper than where we live now.""Wait! I have the perfect solution,"I said. "You and your parents can move in with my family! We can share my room, and it'll be like having a sleepover在外过夜 every single night! I' sure my parents will be totally cool with it.""That would be so great!" said Elizabeth, then she sighed. "I wish we could do that. But there's no way. My parents also want to be closer to my grandparents, so I think we're definitely going."So Elizabeth and I had to come up with a Plan B. A would have been, we were actually pretty happy about our solution. Here's what we did.First, we asked my mom to take a picture of us together and help us print it out regular size and teeny-tiny size .We put the regular photos in special frames that we decorated Forever. I gave me the frame she decorated.Then, we cut the teeny-tiny picture of us in half. I put the half with Elizabeth's face in my locket小盒式吊坠necklace, and sheput the half with my face in her locket necklace.So even though Elizabeth lives miles away and I only get to see her once in a while, our Friends Forever picture frames and lockets really do help with the "missing-you" part.Besides that, our parents let us e-mail sometimes, and we still get to talk and crack up together on the phone now and then 偶尔，有时 . Also, we love sending each other funny letters and packages filled with goofy傻瓜的，愚笨的 surprises.So, dear Already Lonely, being separated from your friend doesn't have to be as bad as it seems right now. Photos, letters, phone calls, e-mails, and great memories can really and truly make a friend seem closer than he or she is.I hope these ideas help. As they say in London, "cheers" to you and your friend! And as I like to say…Ciao for now,Arizona。

Unit 10 Attitudes Toward Life 生活态度Text 1 Attention to DetailAttention to detail is something everyone can and should do especially in a tight job market. Bob Crossley, a human resources expert notices this in the job applications that come across his desk every day. “It’s amazing how many candidates eliminate themselves.”He says. “Resumes arrive with stains. Some candidates don’t bother to spell the company’s name correctly. Once I see a mistake, I eliminate the candidate,”Crossley concludes, “if they cannot take off these details, why should we trust them with a job?”Can we pay too much attention to detail? Absolutely. Perfectionists struggle over little things at the cost of something larger they work toward. “To keep from losing the forest for the trees”, says Charles Garfield, associate professor at the University of California, San Francisco, “we must constantly ask ourselves how the details we’re working on fit into the larger picture. If they don’t, we should drop them and move to something else.”Garfield compares this process to his work as a computer scientist at NASA. “The Apollo Ⅱmoon launch was slightly off course 90 percent of the time,”says Garfield. “But a successful landing was still likely because we knew the exact coordinates of our goal. This allowed us to make adjustments as necessary.”Knowing where we want to go helps us judge the importance of every task we undertake.Too often we believe what accounts for others’success is some special secret or a lucky break. But rarely is success so mysterious. Again and again, we see that by doing little things within our grasp well, large rewards follow.[A] accounts [B] associate [C] bother [D] coordinates [E] drop [F] eliminate [G] especially [H] grasp [I] launch [J] mysterious [K] Resumes [L] undertake注重细节注意细节是每个人都能做到并且应该做到的事情，尤其在竞争激烈的就业市场中更应该这样。

人力资源专家鲍勃·克罗斯里从每天递交到他桌上的求职函中注意到了这一点。

“令人吃惊的是有许多人自己淘汰了自己。

”他说，“送来的简历竟有污迹。

一些应聘者都懒得把公司的名称拼写正确。

一旦看到错误，我就将这个应聘者除名，”他总结说：“如果他们连这些细节错误都不能避免，我们凭什么相信他们能做好一份工作呢?”我们注意细节会过火吗?绝对会。

完美主义者为一些小事而纠缠不休，其代价是牺牲了一些更重要的事情，而这些事情正是他们工作的目标。

“为了避免只见树木不见森林,”加利福尼亚大学旧金山分校的副教授查尔斯·加菲尔德说：“我们必须经常问自己我们所着手的细节如何符合一个更大的蓝图。

如果他们不符合，我们应该放下他们转而做别的事情。

”加菲尔德将这个过程与他作为NASA(美国国家航空航天局)的一名计算机科学家的工作进行了比较“。

阿波罗二号登月发射在百分之九十的时间都会略微地偏离轨道”。

加菲尔德说：“但仍然可能成功着陆，因为我们知道目的地的准确坐标。

这就使我们能够做必要的调整。

”知道我们想去哪里可以帮助我们判断所承担的每项任务的重要性。

我们常常会认为其他人成功的原因是某些特别的奥秘或幸运的机会。

但成功并不是这样神秘。

只要我们一次次地做好我们力所能及的小事，就会得到大的回报。

难句解析1. Bob Crossley, a human resources expert notices this in the job applications that come across his desk every day.【分析】复合句。

其中a human resources expert 作Bob Crossley 的同位语，in the job...every day 作状语，在状语中that 引导定语从句修饰the job applications。

2. We must constantly ask ourselves how the details we’re working on fit into the larger picture.【分析】复合句。

ourselves 为ask 的直接宾语，后边的句子为ask 的间接宾语，在从句中we’re working on是省去引导词的定语从句，用来修饰the details。

3. Knowing where we want to go helps us judge the importance of every task we undertake.【分析】复合句。

Knowing...to go为现在分词短语作主语，置于句首，谓语动词用第三人称单数。

其中where 引导的句子作knowing 的宾语，help后接双宾语，句末的we undertake 为后置定语修饰task。
