Humor

1.A mother mouse was out for a stroll with her babies when she spotted a cat crouched behind a bush. She watched the cat, and the cat watched the mice. Mother mouse barked fiercely, "Woof, woof, woof!" The cat was so terrified that it ran for it's life.

Mother mouse turned to her babies and said, "Now, do you understand the value of a second language?"

一只母老鼠带着孩子出来散步，突然她看见一只猫正在灌木丛中虎视耽耽。

母老鼠向着猫叫道：“汪，汪，汪”，猫听了非常害怕，拼命跑走了。

母老鼠回过头洋洋自得的对孩子说：“现在你知道外语的重要性了吧。”

2．Early Shopper

It was Christmas and the judge was in a benevolent mood as he questioned the prisoner. "What are you charged with?" he asked.

"Doing my christmas shopping early," replied the defendant.

"That's no offense," replied the judge, "How early were you doing this shopping?"

"Before the store opened," countered the prisoner.

采购过早

那天是圣诞节，法官在审讯犯人时也有点恻隐之心。“你为什么而被起诉？”他问。“采购圣诞节物品过早。”被告答。

“这不算犯法，”法官回答，“你购物多早？”

在商店开门之前，“犯人应道。

Famous speech

1. Man’s dearest possession is life. It is given to him but once, and he must live it so as to feel no torturing regrets for wasted years, never know

the burning shame of a mean and petty past; so live that, dying, he might say: all my life, all my strength were given to the finest cause in all the world—the fight for the Liberation of Mankind.

人生最宝贵的是生命。生命对于人来说只有一次。一个人的生命应该这样度过：当他回首往事时，不因虚度年华而悔恨；也不会因为碌碌无为而羞耻。在临死的时候他能够说：我的整个生命和全部精力都已经献给了世界上最壮丽的事业──为人类的解放事业而斗争！

2. Happiness lies not in the mere possession of money, it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative efforts, the joy and moral stimulation of work no longer must be forgotten in the mad chase of evanescent profits. These dark days, my friends, will be worth all they cost us, if they teach us that our true destiny is not to be ministered on to , but to minister to ourselves, to our fellow men.

幸福并不在于单纯的占有金钱，幸福还在于取得成功后的喜悦，在于创造努力时的激情。务必不能再忘记劳动带来的喜悦和激励，而去疯狂追逐那转瞬即逝的利润。如果这些黯淡的日子能使我们认识到，我们真正的使命不是要别人侍奉，而是要为自己和同胞们服务的话，那么，我们付出的代价是完全值得的。

Beautiful mind

I grew up in a community called Estepona. I was 16 when one morning, Dad told me I could drive him into a distant village called Mijias, on condition

that I took the car in to be serviced at a nearby garage. I readily accepted.

I drove Dad into Mijas, and promised to pick him up at 4 pm, then dropped off the car at the garage. With several hours to spare, I went to a theatre. However, when the last movie finished, it was six. I was two hours late!

I knew Dad would be angry if he found out I’d been watching movies. So I decided not to tell him the truth. When I hurried there I apologized for being late, and told him I’d come as quickly as I could, but that the car had needed a major repairs. I’ll never forget the look he gave me. “I’m disappointed you feel you have to lie to me, Jason.” Dad looked at me again. “When you didn’t turn up, I called the garage to ask if there were any problems, and they told me you hadn’t yet picked up the car.” I felt ashamed as I weakly told him the real reason. A sadness passed through Dad as he listened attentively. “I’m angry with myself. I realize I’ve failed as a father. I’m going to walk home now and think seriously about where I’ve gone wrong all these years.” “But Dad, it’s 18 miles!” My protests and apologies were useless Dad walked home that day. I drove behind him, begging him all the way, but he walked silently.

Seeing Dad in so much physical and emotional pain was my most painful experience. However, it was also the most successful lesson. I have never lied since.

语篇欣赏

可怜天下父母心！18英里的路程，父亲执意徒步走完，这一切的辛苦或许在儿子看来是为了给他一个教训，是教他明白信守承诺的重要。但其实，这是做父亲的在惩罚自己，检讨自己，他在反省自己教育子女的失败，他认为“子不教，父之过”。看来，为人子，为人父，在矛盾出现时，都应多检查一下自我才是.
