时文阅读精选一、爱的姿势澜涛（1）救援人员发现她的时候，她已经死了，是被跨塌下来的房子压死的。
透过废墟的间隙，救援人员看到她双膝跪地，整个上身向前匍匐着，双手扶地支撑着身体，有些像古人行跪拜礼，只是身体被压得变形了，看上去有些怪异。
救援人员从废墟的空隙间伸进手去，确认她已经死亡，又冲着废墟喊了几声，用撬棍在砖头上敲了几下，她都没有任何反应，废墟里也没有任何回应。
还有太多的被困者等待救援，救援人员立刻向新的目标搜寻，当救援人员在下一处废墟前探寻是否有生还者时，救援队长隐约听到从她那里传来婴孩的啼哭声。
救援人员立刻纷纷跑回她的尸体前，救援队长再次将手伸进她的尸体底下，仔细地摸索着，摸了几下，救援队长高声喊道“”有人，有个孩子，还活着！”（2）经过一番努力，救援人员小心地把挡着她的废墟清理开，在她的尸体下发现了一个包裹在红色带黄花的小被子里的、三四个月大的婴儿。
因为有她身体的庇护，婴儿毫发未伤。
（3）随行的医生过来解开被子准备给婴儿做些检查，发现有一部手机塞在被子里。
医生下意识地看了一下手机屏幕，发现屏幕上是一条已经写好的短信：“亲爱的宝贝，如果你能活着，一定要记住我爱你。
”（4）瞿万容是一位幼儿园老师。
地震发生时，她正和其他4名老师在校，照看着80多个孩子午睡。
她悄声和另外几名老师说，等孩子们午睡醒来后，她要教孩子们做一个她新学的游戏，她说的时候，脸上满是明媚和喜悦。
（5）然而，地震突然而至，欲将所有的美丽撕碎。
（6）5名老师，80个孩子。
将孩子们都疏散到安全地带成了老师们不可能完成的任务。
但老师们齐声喊了一句“救孩子”后，就转身冲向酣睡着的孩子，她也毫不迟疑地冲向一个孩子。
接下来，她都做了什么，无人得知。
（7）地震过去之后，只有30名孩子和两名老师生还。
当救援人员在废墟中发现她时，她扑在地上，后背上压着一块垮塌的水泥板，怀里紧抱着一个小孩。
小孩生还了，她却已经没有了呼吸。

年轻人叫住老者，问：“老人家，您为何如此快乐?”

中考语文课外阅读专题专练：最新时文阅读一、父亲挑书院殿文①重一百多斤的书压在六十多岁的父亲的肩上。
②我几次请求父亲放下担子让我挑一气，都被顶了回来。
没办法，我只得借着电筒发出的可怜的光跟在父亲修长的身子后面，背上背着个装有几件衣服的旅行包和一把红色吉它，样子潇洒得要命。
③我很清楚父亲此刻的心情。
中学时我因母亲病逝，被迫从滇东北转到滇东南就读。
6年多来，父亲都是形单影只地过着独身生活，一大把年纪了，仍起早贪黑地劳作，其苦不言而喻。
今年大学毕业，在众亲友的劝说下，我最终放弃了在昆明一报社工作的机会，回到离别多年的家乡。
这一决定出台后，最高兴的当然是父亲了。
“这回有个说知心话的地方了！”父亲逢人便说。
④一路上，父亲重复着那句重复了多年的话：“做人不做浮漂草，要做水上捕鱼人。
”碰上熟人问：“要干什么去？”他就抬高本来就很宏亮的声音：“秀才搬家——尽是书。
帮娃娃挑书到他舅舅家，请他家的客车送到城里去，明天娃娃就要到城里上班去了。
”“这回算得了！”对方回敬了一声。
“嗨！”对话在父亲的这一声里结束。
⑤农村人的“要干什么去”是路上招呼的客套话，今天做的事又是父亲盼了很多年的，于是，在回话时父亲理所当然地欣慰了一番，就好像辛苦几十年就是为了等这几句让人欣慰的话从内心里流出来，以至于每一个字都吐得相当有力，像钉子落到玻璃板上一样，发出的声音乐曲般悠扬。
尤其是那个“嗨”字。
只可惜，父亲的身子摇出来的每一个动作，都使我联想到“蹒跚”这个词，加之脚下不时地打滑，父亲几乎是踉跄而行了。
⑥我没有再要求父亲让我挑一气了。
这个时候，即使再加上100斤，只要是书——能照亮我的人生之路的赋予我智慧的书，父亲也会固执地把它挑在肩上。
我小心地跟在后面。
看着被书的重量挤压成弓形的父亲，眼里溢满了一种闪亮的东西，让我觉得满天都是星星，我也像是借着这满天的星星发出的光前行了。
⑦希望赋予人的力量是何等的巨大啊！⑧从今以后，我想我会更加珍爱这些书——即便不能为父亲做些什么。

经吉尼斯世界纪录认证，这是全球最长的窄轨客运列车。
这列火车于10月29日从海拔1749米的普雷达出发，穿越瑞士境内最著名的朗德瓦萨高架桥后，一路开到贝尔金，完成了其首次的正式旅程。
长长的红色列车行驶在位于瑞士阿尔卑斯山区的雷蒂亚铁路网上，与沿途风景相得益彰，吸引了不少火车迷和观光客乘车体验。
阅读短文并回答问题High in the Swiss Alps, St Moritz made its name as a place for pushing the boundaries of winter sports. Recently, the region continued its long tradition of expanding the limits of what is possible with a world record attempt —not on snow or ice, but on rails. To mark the 175th anniversary of Switzerland’s first railway, a railway company created the world’s longest passenger train —100 cars, 2,990 tonnes and almost two kilometers long.Formed of 25 new electric trains, the record-breaking 1,906-meter train took almost an hour to cover around 25 kilometers over the impressive UNESCO World Heritage Albula Line, which is famous for its endless swooping curves and steep inclines（斜坡）. The mountain railways are regarded as great feats of engineering. The 62-kilometer line between Thusis and St Moritz, a world-renowned masterpiece of civil engineering, took just five years to build despite requiring 55 bridges and 39 tunnels.Unlike most Swiss and European railways, which use the standard gauge（标准轨距）between the rails of 1.435 meters, the rails, known as Rhaetische Bahn rails, are just one meter apart. “In order to complete the train’s journey successfully, everything has to be perfect. We need to be 100% synchronized（同步的）, every second. Everyone has to keep their speed and other systems under control at all times,”lead driver Andreas Kramer said. “We need to know the Albula Line very well, every change of gradient, and every incline.”The mountainous Swiss landscape has encouraged creative transportation solutions for generations, resulting in one of the most train-reliant nations in the world. On average, Swiss citizens travel about 2,450 kilometers by train annually —an estimated quarter of their total transportation system. In 2021, Swiss Federal Railways operated 11,260 trains carrying 880,000 passengers and 185,000 tonnes of goods per day on a 3,265 kilometer-long network with 804 stations. Therefore, the successful record attempt will be great for the local area and for the country as a whole.1. What is the world’s longest passenger train created for?A. Celebrating the 175th year of Swiss first railway.B. Satisfying people’s increasing demand for transportation.C. Encouraging people to pay attention to Swiss winter sports.D. Attracting more visitors to appreciate the beauty of St Moritz.2. What does the underlined word “feats”in paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Dreams.B. Burdens.C. Achievements.D. Competitions.3. What does Andreas Kramer think of the drivers’work?A. It is boring.B. It is well-paid.C. It is dangerous.D. It is demanding.4. Why does the author mention the figures in the last paragraph?A. To show the popularity of tourism among Swiss citizens.B. To prove the significance of the successful record attempt.C. To stress the difficulty of constructing the world’s longest train.D. To present the trend of developing green transportation in Switzerland.答案：ACDB生词1. gradient n. 梯度；坡度2. train-reliant adj. 依赖火车的语块1. swooping curves 俯冲曲线2. civil engineering 土木工程3. on average 通常；平均知识拓展1.

词数332 建议阅读时间6分钟Zhou Shihao, 17, ofShanghai Yichuan High School,was shocked by the statistics (数据) he had found. When he was looking into the use of handheld cellphones by drivers, he found that more than 30 percent of them reach for their phones on the road.“No use of handheld devices should be allowed while driving,” said Zhou. “It’s not a trifle (琐事), but a serious social issue.”The teenager’s concerns led to his drafting (拟稿) a proposal (提案) on this issue, something he did together with five other schoolmates in the Mock (模拟的) Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC)competition in the Putuo District of Shanghai.Zhou and his schoolmates were not alone. In January, many Shanghai youngsters, even elementary school students, took part in Mock CPPCC competitions held in their local districts and handed in proposals on issues ranging from cyber security (网络安全) and the future city to the protection of traditional culture.“The competition encourages us to focus on social issues and play an active rolein taking responsibility for our country,” said Zhang Simin, 17, of Shanghai Nanyang High School.The senior student used to think that the handling of state affairs was just for politicians. But thinking on the “half-past three problem” changed her mind.Kids usually finish school at half-past three; however, most parents work until six, making it hard for them to pick kids up. “This is a problem we’ve all been through,” said Zhang.To help students, Zhang’s school invited deputies to the National People’s Congress (全国人大代表) to give students instruction.“Thanks to the deputies, we finally understand that it’s not who is to blame (指责) that matters, but finding the best solution,” said Zhang.“The competition aims to encourage a sense of citizenship among China’s post-00s generation,” said Xia Jing, a teacher from Shanghai Jinyuan Senior High School. “Through this channel, students can let their voices be heard.”Passage2A dad who stands tallAs the taxi pulls away, my father stands at the living room window looking out, watching me move off into the darkness, at 4:30 am. His grey hair is messy from sleeping.Moments ago, he got up to carry my suitcase for me, despite the fact that it’s the middle of the night. He set it down for me on the front step in the cold morning air.He thanked me for my cooking and for having traveled so far to spend the holiday with him. I told him that I worry about his loneliness and the sudden emptiness of the house, as he goes back to bed alone, to wake later, with no one there.“I have my projects,” he said, in the moments before I walked out the door.When I arrived 10 days ago, I felt the stillness in the house. It was quiet and lifeless. Then my brothers and I came and filled the rooms. But, now, they’re gone;I am the last to leave.As the taxi began to depart (离开), I watched the lights go off, but my father didn’t leave. Even though he couldn’t see me in the dark, he stood by the window watching, his figure framed by the window, beside the tree. It was a fresh tree. He buys one every year. Always, it is ready to decorate when we arrive.Like trees, my father endures (承受) hardships in life: the untimely (过早地) death of my mother years ago, and now his children have scattered (分散) far from home, our selfish choices taking us from one end of the country to the other. The life of the tree is short; my father’s is long and strong. But both of them are tall and straight.I watched him as he waited in the living room, where we sat, talked, had dinners, held our parties, watched the news, waited for the beauty of twilight (暮色) each late afternoon – and said goodbye.He stands still as the taxi pulls away.Are there tears in his eyes, as there are in mine?I can’t wave from the taxi, as I abandon a parent to loneliness in the earlymorning darkness.I leave behind two trees: one with silver-grey hair, the other still freshly green.But I haven’t the strength of either one.

高中语文——时文美文汇编
高三时文美文选编（一）1、《花木兰》\马未都中国古代公认的英雄并不多，巾帼英雄就更少，四大巾帼花木兰，穆桂英，樊梨花，梁红玉中花木兰知名度最广，产生年代也最早，距今已逾1500年了。
花木兰的精彩在于替父从军，这一行为在过去乃至今天也应该男儿之事， 1500年前的南北朝时期，开始流传着这样一个传奇故事，一个女子隐瞒身份，上战场杀敌长达十二年，以致当时就流行着一首北朝民歌《木兰辞》，收入宋人所编《乐府诗集》之中，翔实可靠。
我至今还可以背诵它，每每背诵，敬意油然而生。
这两天，一出喜剧搞砸了，拿着千年民族英雄花木兰开涮，放胆颠覆了花木兰形象，以博笑声。
此事一时引发众怒，民族英雄怎容随意玷污？！说句公道的话，此喜剧不是一人所为，让一人背负实不公平，有编剧有导演有演出有审查，其中一个环节不通过，此演出也不成立；可惜的是，此事畅通无阻，令人一声叹息。
一个民族欲让别人尊重，首先要自己尊重自己。
1500年来塑造的花木兰形象已成为民族文化的一部分，亦成为一种象征。
这种象征是用来激励自己，抵御外来侵略的，这道理并不复杂。
连美国人前些年拍了动画片《花木兰》，都三番五次地请教中国专家，尊重我们的民族文化，而我们自己在提倡文化强国的今天仍没有认识到这一点，实在说不过去。
文化中有一条金线，智者看得清，愚者看不见。
这条金线是文化的尊严，是文化的价值，是文化的生命，敬畏民族文化，是后来者的底线，望触动这条金线者三思而后行。
2、《假如我们不崇敬英雄》\张丽钧《中华读书报》（2015年08月19日03 版）请允许我从2015年北京高考作文题谈起。
2015年北京高考作文题是“二选一”，其一为《假如我与心中的英雄生活一天》，其二为《深入灵魂的热爱》。
看到北京作文题的时候，恰好与一个年轻的语文老师在一起，她忍不住惊叫起来：“啊？！英雄那个，太坑爹了吧？现在的孩子们有几个知道英雄的故事？不贴近生活的作文题，就是烂题！”很快，北京阅卷现场传出消息：写“英雄”的考生仅占一成多，其余考生都写了“热爱”；即使写“英雄”，也写得比较空洞，甚至问英雄：“你吃饭了吗？要不要喝点水？”有个北京的朋友，孩子今年参加高考，考试结束后，孩子打来电话，让我帮他估一下作文分——当然，他选写的是“热爱”。

)MICHAEL Jordan (迈克尔.乔丹)is best known for his "air walk" but it was Beijing students who were flying high when the American basketball legend(传奇人物) visited the capital last week.The former NBA star attended the final of the 2004 China High School Basketball League at Beijing Workers' Gymnasium (北京工人体育馆) on Thursday. Presenting the trophy to the winners, he gave the youngsters some simple advice: "Love the game, enjoy the game, and play the game."(Michael Jordan celebrates with the winning team fromShenyang No 31 Middle School. XINHUA)Shenyang No 31 Middle School tastedvictory in the tournament（锦标赛）last year.But this year's 62-54 victory over Shanghai Nanyang Model Middle School had an added sweetness: the players received the champion's cup from Jordan himself."I was very excited taking the trophy（奖杯）from him," said Li Yuzhang, who won the Most Valuable Player (MVP) award. "I'm lucky to have been able to hold the cup after it was touched by Jordan."Another player said: "We have been waiting for this day for almost a month. We trained very hard because we knew we would get to celebrate our victory with Michael Jordan."With cameras flashing around them, the players couldn't hide their excitement as they stepped onto the podium（领奖台）alongside their hero. Li and team captain Feng Wenxu were also lucky enough to have Jordan sign their jerseys（运动衫）."I will keep this precious jersey for the rest of my life," said Feng.The 5,000-strong audience of young students was also stirred up (鼓动) by the appearance of one of basketball's greatest-ever players. Play was even delayed a little while, such was the excitement when he arrived during the fourth quarter of the match."I'm here to see Jordan," said a girl from nearby Huiwen Middle School. "It's a pity we can't see him playing, but a glimpse（一瞥、一看）of him today is enough."It was the NBA legend's first formal visit to China. Jordan particularly enjoyed walking on the Great Wall last Wednesday — he said that doing so meant he could call himself a real man!Beijing was the first stop on Jordan's first ever Asian tour. He left for Hong Kong last Thursday night before going on to T aiwan and Tokyo.Passage 2Point of no return?(赢得选举，但却拒绝出任总理，索尼亚真能让甘地家族再次崛起吗？)SHE shocked the world by taking her Congress Party (国大党) to victory in India's general election on May 13. What came next was even more surprising. Last Tuesday Sonia Gandhi turned down both the chance to be the prime minister and take her famous family back to the top of India's political pile.Her decision came as investors lost confidence in her economic policies, and Hindu nationalists attacked her over her Italian birth. Manmohan Singh, a71-year-old economist, took the premiership instead.(Sonia Gandhi.AFP)"The post of prime minister has not been myaim," she told newly elected members of Parliament（议会）. "My responsibility（责任）is to provide Indiawith a government that is strong and stable (稳定)."Sonia Gandhi, 57, will remain president of thelargest party in the coalition government (联合政府)so still have an influence on policy.

She is also the daughter-in-law of another prime minister, Indira Gandhi. While her husband Rajiv Gandhi served from 1984 to 1988."She was pushed into this whole game - just like her husband," said Rajiv Desai, an advisor to the Gandhis. Neither Rajiv nor Sonia Gandhi had much interest inpolitics. But he felt called by a family responsibility after his mother was murdered by her guards in 1984. In a similar way, his wife felt she had to rescue the struggling Congress Party 14 years later.However, the success of the Nehru-Gandhi dynasty has come at a heavy price. Seven years after the murder of his mother, Rajiv Gandhi was killed by Sri Lankan terrorists（恐怖分子）.It has been said that Sonia Ghandi's children, Rahul and Priyanka, asked her not to take the post because they feared losing their mother as well.Despite her decision, the election saw the Gandhi dynasty brought back to life.

1.时文阅读|海蛞蝓的“再生术”众所周知，很多动物都有着超强的自愈能力和再生能力。
譬如，海星可以长出新的手臂；小龙虾可以长出新的钳子；壁虎可以长出新的尾巴。
但这些能力在海蛞蝓面前简直就是小儿科。
生活在浅海区域的海蛞蝓是软体动物家族中的一个特殊成员，它们究竟有什么本领能够令科学家们大为惊奇呢？Sea stars can grow new arms. Crayfish can grow new claws. There are interesting creatures that can grow back body parts if accidents happen. However, that is child’s play after what researchers saw a sea slug do.According to a new discovery by Sayaka Mit oh and her colleagues of Nara Women’s University in Japan, two species of sea slugs managed to lose their heads and then began crawling around. Eventually, they grew an entirely new body. “We were surprised to see the head moving just after it was removed,” said Sayaka Mitoh. “We thought that it would die soon without a heart and other important organs, but we were surprised again to find that it regenerated the whole body.”After the initial discovery, the researchers found that for younger slugs, the detached heads began eating algae within hours. The wound typically closed at the back of the head within days. They started regrowing a heart within a week and the regeneration of the entire body was finished after around three weeks. Older slugs weren’t as fortunate. Often the heads didn’t feed, so they died in about 10 days. Young or old, the headless bodies never generated a new head. But they did move around and respond to being touched for several days and sometimes months after losing their heads.The researchers aren’t sure why the sea slugs dropped their heads or how they’re able to grow new bodies. They may have parasites（寄生虫）that can hurt reproduction so they are removing their heads in order to also remove the parasites. But the researchers are n’t sure what prompts them to know when to cast off the body when they do it. Sayaka Mitoh says they believe there must be cells located in the neck that are similar to stem cells. These are able to regenerate a new body.How the heads can survive without a heart and other vital organs is another puzzle. The researchers say these sea slugs fuel their bodies by photosynthesis（光合作用）.

01（2023春·河北石家庄·八年级统考期末）During the 2016 Rio Olympics, people were surprised to see the round, purple marks on the body of the famous American swimmer Michael Phelps. What happened to him? In fact, he just visited a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and had “cupping” (拔火罐).Massage (按摩) and acupuncture (针灸) are two other important kinds of TCM. Chinese massage can make you relaxed and fresh. In acupuncture, doctors put long needles (针)into the patients’ heads, faces, arms... It takes away pain, though the look is funny.TCM is an important part of Chinese culture. The earliest medical classic in China, Huangdi’s Classic on Medicine (黄帝内经) came out more than 2,000 years ago. The book is about the relationship between man and nature. In Chinese culture, yin and yang are the two parts of nature. Nature keeps balanced (平衡) if yin and yang work well together. The human body needs such a balance, too. TCM helps to do that.

Instead, he may give you just a food plan and right ways to eat.For example, it is common to eat on the way to school, at our desk, or in front of the TV. But TCM thinks it’s wrong. Here are the correct ways: Sit down to eat. While eating, turn off the TV and getaway from the work desk. Eat seasonal (当季) foods. Do not miss any of the three meals. Also, get your body moving often, just as the saying goes, “Running water is never stale.”Nowadays, traditional Chinese medicine is becoming more and more popular around the world.A government report says that people in 183 countries and areas are now using TCM.1．In the first paragraph, the writer mentioned Michael Phelps in order to ________.A．introduce a doctor of TCM B．give an example of using cuppingC．introduce the Rio Olympics D．give an example of a good swimmer2．About Huangdi’s Classic on Medicine, which of the following is NOT true?A．It is the earliest medical classic in China.

However, ten years ago, this special technique was close to disappearing completely. Zhang Zhifeng, a practitioner of Chabaixi, found scenes of Chabaixi in the drama aroused great interest among ordinary people, so he started to try his best to recover it.Chabaixi can create endless patterns such as bamboos and mountains or even calligraphy. There are over a dozen steps from grinding（碾碎）tea for fine powder to pouring boiled water, stirring the mixture for thick froth（泡沫）and finally drawing the patterns. It is different from making latte because people use clear water as the object to put into the cup instead of milk. But when the water touches the surface of whipped（搅打起泡沫的）tea, it turns into a white color and disappears in 20 minutes. The process before the drawing is known as the tea-making technique, diancha, the quality of which is important to whether patterns can be successfully produced later.Chabaixi is one of the countless forms of tea-making techniques in China. The importance of Chabaixi is that not only is this technique special in the world, but also gives us a window into people’s lifestyle in the Song Dynasty, a period of time when relaxation activities in some ways are like what we have now.” Zhang said.“This technique is key to the tea culture of the Song Dynasty and it would be a shame to let it disappear.

D．The development of Chabaixi.10．What is true about Zhang Zhifeng?A．He teaches people the tea culture of the Song Dynasty.B．He makes the best Chabaixi in the whole nation.C．He encourages people to pass on the technique of Chabaixi.D．He wants to develop Chabaixi through media.03（2023·河南郑州·郑州外国语中学校考三模）What comes to your mind when you think of kung fu? Maybe the image of Shaolin monks（和尚）posing with a serious look in their eyes. But does it really present the meaning of kung fu?Laurence J. Brahm, a documentary filmmaker from the United States, explored this question inSearching for Kung Fu. In the movie, Brahm traveled to cities in China and the US in search of the value of kung fu.Brahm himself is a kung fu lover who has been practicing the art for more than 40 years. For him, it is more than a pastime. Ages ago, Brahm was unable to use one of his legs for two years and had to walk with a cane（拐杖）. But by practicing martial arts （武术）, he was able to recover step by step. Now, kung fu has become a daily activity for him and also the way he begins the day.Still, there are other deep meanings in the practice. Nonviolence is one value, which is shown both in the name and practice of kung fu. The Chinese character Wu has two parts—g e, meaning “to fight”, and zhi, meaning “to stop”. So, the meaning of kung fu in Chinese is the art of stopping fighting, the art of nonviolence. Kung fu artists always greet people with baoquan. This lets each person know that there are no hidden weapons（武器）and shows trust.“The traditional values of kung fu, actually, are in the minds of all Chinese people,” Brahm told Xinhua.根据文章内容选择正确答案：11．Why is the first paragraph written?A．T o show others’ opinions.B．To shock the readers.C．T o make the passage complete. D．To lead in the topic.12．What did Brahm want to find out about in the documentary?A．Shaolin monks’ daily lives.B．Modern styles of kung fu.C．Real kung fu stars in China. D．Meanings behind kung fu.13．What does Brahm think of kung fu?A．It’s j ust a way to kill time. B．It’s bad for the performer’s legs.C．It’s a way to stay healthy.D．It’s the best way to greet people.14．What does the word “nonviolence” in Paragraph 4 mean?A．T o fight bravely. B．To stop fighting.C．T o greet people actively. D．To use weapons secretly.15．What is the purpose of the story?A．T o introduce a documentary. B．To prove the popularity of kung fu.C．T o present the value of kung fu. D．To show the kindness of Chinese people.04（2023·广东江门·统考一模）请阅读下面短文，在所给的每个空格中填入一个形式正确、意义相符的单词。

初三英语时文阅读（一）（材料一）“美国第一家庭”迎来“白宫第一狗”！早在竞选总统的时候，奥巴马就承诺送给两个女儿一条宠物狗，无论成败。
Meet the First Pet: Bo, the Portuguese Water Dog!Last Tuesday, the U.S. first family officially welcomed their first pet—Bo, a 6-month-old Portuguese water dog*. The selection was one of the White House‟s most tightly kept secrets.They’ll love the dog!President Barack Obama‟s daughters, 10-year-old Malia and 7-year-old Sasha, never had pets before. The black and white puppy is a gift from Sen. Edward Kennedy (爱德华·肯尼迪参议员), who owns three Portuguese water dogs himself.“We couldn‟t be happier to see the joy that Bo is bringing to Malia and Sasha,” Kennedy said in a statement. “We love our Portuguese water dogs and know that the girls—and their parents—will love theirs, too.”Why Bo?Malia and Sasha have named the dog Bo, after a cousin‟s cat and in honor of Michelle Obama‟s grandfather, who was nicknamed Diddley. The name for the dog was an apparent (明显的) reference (参考) to the singer “Bo” Diddley.White House aides (助手) told the AP (美联社) that the office of the first lady arranged an exclusive (排他的,独家的) deal (交易) on the dog story with the Washington Post (《华盛顿邮报》).That’s top secret!Before the official announcement, many websites were abuzz with* rumors (谣言，流言) of the first famil y‟s selection; one website even claimed it had pictures of the first pet. Hearing the rumors, Obama joked to reporters: “Oh, man, now, that‟s top secret.”“That was a campaign promise,” Obama said in a talk show last month. The president made a lot of promises during his election campaign, but none more important than (没有比…更重要的) this one to his young daughters; he vowed to buy them a dog, win or lose.Now, he has fulfilled the promise.*water dog: 会游水的狗, (俚语) 老练的水手be abuzz with 热烈…(讨论)（材料二）假期在即，手头却有数不清的作业？试试“留在家里的假期”吧！最美的风景就在身边！Getting Away by Staying HomeWhat will you be doing for the Labor Day holiday? For many, the extra days off provide an ideal opportunity to go and see new places. This is a great way to spend your vacation. However, more and more people are starting to take a “staycation.” That is, instead of traveling, many people are opting (选择) to stay at home and enjoy local recreational activities.Conveniently termed in 2003 as “staycation,”this modern word is shorthand(简略表达) for “st ay-at-home vacation.” Opting for a staycation during your break is a great way to save money because there are no lodging costs (住宿费用) and minimal travel expenses. In addition, it is a great way to take the time to connect with your community and support local businesses. By taking the time to explore and admire the beauty and fun in your immediate (附近的) environment, you can discover cool places that you never knew before. As a result, your experience as a “staycationer” will cause you to have a greater appreciation (了解，欣赏) for your local area.Another attractive reason for going with a staycation during your break owes to (归功于) the lack of stress. As a busy student, it is important to have some time to rest, clear your mind, and “breathe” a little. Traveling, however, is full of packing (整理行装), long-distance travel, waiting in long lines, and tiresome navigation through unfamiliar territory(地域). As a result, traveling “vacations”become another energy-drainer (耗费精力的), piling on (累积) stress during a time when you should be free from it.So, as you contemplate(计划) what you would like to do for the Labor Day holiday, consider a staycation to relax, save money, and refresh yourself! Make sure that you are not tempted to* work at home due to (由于) easy access to e-mail and related materials. Remind yourself that this is YOUR personal time and make the best of (充分利用) it by exploring Shanghai, meeting up with friends, and taking your mind off (忘却) your busy schedule.* be tempted to do sth. 某人被诱惑做某事(被动)（材料三）被功课压得喘不过气，因为父母吵架感到害怕，或是和好朋友吵架了……这些问题应该去和谁聊聊呢？Talk to Your School CounselorIf you study in America or other western countries, a school counselor (顾问，辅导员) plays a very important role in your life.Counselors help you cope*School counselors know how to listen and help. They‟ll take your problem seriously and work with you to find a good solution. A counselor can help you deal with sadness when someone has died, as well as advise you on taking the right classes to get into your dream college. Whatever problem you have, your counselor has seen it before — and has lots of good advice on how to help you work through it.Student-Counselor MeetingsCounselors meet with students individually or in small groups. The most common setting is a private meeting just between the student and the counselor. Most school counselors have their own offices where you can sit and talk.School counselors probably ask you to visit him or her even if you don‟t have a problem. This helps you feel comfortable with the counselor in case you ever need to meet in a time of crisis. It‟s usually easier to talk about a tough issue or a problem when you already feel comfortable with the counselor.Sometimes counselors also meet students in groups. Group meetings can really help people who are dealing with similar issues. In these group settings, people can share their feelings and learn coping skills. Not only do you get great ideas in a group, but it can also help to know that other students are going through the same thing.It‟s just not possible to sort* through tough times alone. Problems can build up and you may lose sleep, find you can‟t concentrate on(集中于) homework, or even become depressed(抑郁的，消沉的). When you need to talk to someone, your school counselor can be a great place to start.*cope 对付(困难)，竞争/抗衡/对抗词组：cope withsort 分类；整顿，整理；分选，拣(sort out)（材料四）奥巴马欧洲之行“小试牛刀”，抛出橄榄枝，改善美国形象。

)MICHAEL Jordan (迈克尔.乔丹)is best known for his "air walk" but it was Beijing students who were flying high when the American basketball legend(传奇人物) visited the capital last week.The former NBA star attended the final of the 2004 China High School Basketball League at Beijing Workers' Gymnasium (北京工人体育馆) on Thursday. Presenting the trophy to the winners, he gave the youngsters some simple advice: "Love the game, enjoy the game, and play the game."(Michael Jordan celebrates with the winning team fromShenyang No 31 Middle School. XINHUA)Shenyang No 31 Middle School tastedvictory in the tournament（锦标赛）last year.But this year's 62-54 victory over Shanghai Nanyang Model Middle School had an added sweetness: the players received the champion's cup from Jordan himself."I was very excited taking the trophy（奖杯）from him," said Li Yuzhang, who won the Most Valuable Player (MVP) award. "I'm lucky to have been able to hold the cup after it was touched by Jordan."Another player said: "We have been waiting for this day for almost a month. We trained very hard because we knew we would get to celebrate our victory with Michael Jordan."With cameras flashing around them, the players couldn't hide their excitement as they stepped onto the podium（领奖台）alongside their hero. Li and team captain Feng Wenxu were also lucky enough to have Jordan sign their jerseys（运动衫）."I will keep this precious jersey for the rest of my life," said Feng.The 5,000-strong audience of young students was also stirred up (鼓动) by the appearance of one of basketball's greatest-ever players. Play was even delayed a little while, such was the excitement when he arrived during the fourth quarter of the match."I'm here to see Jordan," said a girl from nearby Huiwen Middle School. "It's a pity we can't see him playing, but a glimpse（一瞥、一看）of him today is enough."It was the NBA legend's first formal visit to China. Jordan particularly enjoyed walking on the Great Wall last Wednesday — he said that doing so meant he could call himself a real man!Beijing was the first stop on Jordan's first ever Asian tour. He left for Hong Kong last Thursday night before going on to T aiwan and Tokyo.Passage 2Point of no return?(赢得选举，但却拒绝出任总理，索尼亚真能让甘地家族再次崛起吗？)SHE shocked the world by taking her Congress Party (国大党) to victory in India's general election on May 13. What came next was even more surprising. Last Tuesday Sonia Gandhi turned down both the chance to be the prime minister and take her famous family back to the top of India's political pile.Her decision came as investors lost confidence in her economic policies, and Hindu nationalists attacked her over her Italian birth. Manmohan Singh, a71-year-old economist, took the premiership instead.(Sonia Gandhi.AFP)"The post of prime minister has not been myaim," she told newly elected members of Parliament（议会）. "My responsibility（责任）is to provide Indiawith a government that is strong and stable (稳定)."Sonia Gandhi, 57, will remain president of thelargest party in the coalition government (联合政府)so still have an influence on policy. If she hadaccepted the post, she would have been the fourthmember of the fabled(传奇式的) Nehru-Gandhidynasty to be prime minister.Gandhi is the granddaughter-in-law of India's first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, who led the country for 17 years after it was given independence from Britain. She is also the daughter-in-law of another prime minister, Indira Gandhi. While her husband Rajiv Gandhi served from 1984 to 1988."She was pushed into this whole game - just like her husband," said Rajiv Desai, an advisor to the Gandhis. Neither Rajiv nor Sonia Gandhi had much interest inpolitics. But he felt called by a family responsibility after his mother was murdered by her guards in 1984. In a similar way, his wife felt she had to rescue the struggling Congress Party 14 years later.However, the success of the Nehru-Gandhi dynasty has come at a heavy price. Seven years after the murder of his mother, Rajiv Gandhi was killed by Sri Lankan terrorists（恐怖分子）.It has been said that Sonia Ghandi's children, Rahul and Priyanka, asked her not to take the post because they feared losing their mother as well.Despite her decision, the election saw the Gandhi dynasty brought back to life. Rahul won a seat in Parliament and Priyanka is set to follow him. It is on their shoulders that the future of Indian politics may rest.Choose the best answer to the following:1.Which of the following was not the reason why Sonia Gandhi turned down thechance to be prime minister?A. When she was president of the Congress Party, the stock market was notstable.B. Because she was born in Italy.C. Because her children feared their mother would be killed by terrorists.D. Because the post of prime minister was not her aim.2. How many of Sonia Ghandi's relatives have served as Prime Minister of India?A. 2.B.3.C. 4.D. 5Key: 1. A 2.

1、不为金牌看奥运：经历过北京奥运的金牌狂欢，我们可以放下并更超然地看奥运了吧！不用再只为金牌看奥运，金牌第一或第二第三，都不那么重要。
只要超越自己尽了最大努力，就都是好样的。
金牌很好，但银牌也不是失败者，而那些什么牌也没拿到却上了大台阶的个人或运动队，同样值得我们喝彩！同时，眼睛不再只盯着咱们的运动员成绩好或不好，也能更多地欣赏世界各国高水平运动员的表现……只有这样，奥运会的魅力，才会更多地被我们捕捉到并享受着。
如果真能这样，我们都该感谢北京奥运会。
心态的超越，是北京奥运另一个伟大的遗产。
∙2、北京奥运,中国代表团中有三十八名外教。

这次伦敦奥运,中国代表团中有十一名外教。

今后,我们请外教,可不可以:一,不那么功利,不为眼前而能长期考虑。
二,更虚心一些。
三,不仅为金牌,也为青少年多花些钱请好外教?∙3、刘翔伤退之后,回到了奥运村。
一觉醒来，自已感慨：这一觉睡的太香了！好久没睡过这样的觉了！透过这句话，能感觉到奥运之前他面临着什么样的压力。
受伤是不幸的事儿，但换个角度想，受伤，也帮着刘翔解脱解放了！接下来，该解脱解放的是我们，不就是一场没跑好的比赛吗?∙4、相信质疑会推动进步，围绕周俊无成绩的尴尬，选人背后的利益与博弈也会浮出水面。
难道奥运资格可以像礼物一样在省内转赠？难道目的不是为自己更好而只是让别人没有机会？质疑中今后这样的事儿就要小心了。
所以，质疑推动进步，就像围绕旗手的争论，到下届，身高与性别就都不该是问题，有没有故事才重要5、四年前的开幕式，是张艺谋导演和团队呕心沥血的制作，这是一个史无前例的开幕式，其间的艺术手法令人瞠目结舌，表现主题恢宏磅礴，还原了中国五千年的浩瀚历史。

但也有人认为，作为传统节日活动，应该燃放烟花爆竹。
你怎么看Wang Xingyue, 14, from Shanghai:I don’t think we should set off firecrackers (爆竹) during holidays. It is really noisy.Some people fire them during midnight. People around cannot sleep well. Besides, it brings air pollution (污染) and lots of rubbish. Most people do not clean the rubbish after they set off firecrackers. So I think there is no need to set them off anymoreduring holidays.Liu Ran, 14, from Shandong:Setting off firecrackers is a tradition during Chinese festivals. They set them off to celebrate or wish a happy new year. The ceremony (仪式) is very important in Chinese people’s lives. And it also reminds (提醒) us of one of the four great inventions (发明) of China, gunpowder (火药). We cannot give it up. It is good to have this ceremony during holidays. Do you agree with meLin Yisong, 15, from Zhejiang:I think we should control (控制) the setting off of firecrackers. During holidays, the government could get people together in a place. They can set off some firecrackers or fireworks and people can watch. It is safer to do this and people can also enjoy their holiday tradition.Zhang Qi, 14, from Guangxi:Firecrackers are dangerous and bad for the air. But it is really an important tradition in Chinese festivals. So I think we can use something else to replace (代替) them. For example, we can use LED fireworks instead. It is also beautiful and attractive. And it is much safer. Even kids can play with them.Li Qing, 14, from Jiangsu:I think we can improve the technology of firecrackers. The firecrackers we use now are dangerous. That’s why we cannot fire them anytime or anywhere we want. But if we can make them much safer and good for the air, we don’t have to give up the interesting tradition during Chinese festivals.第二篇Birthday girl’s trip of mystery神秘的银冠带来的奇幻之旅THE Silver Crown (《银色皇冠》) is an excitingread. It is about a girlwho wakes up on herbirthday to find a silvercrown under her pillow(枕头), but the daydoesn’t turn out as shewould have thought.Eventually she ends upin a mysterious schooland then is hunted for her crown. To find her family, the girl has to travel through forests, mountains and the countryside while meeting many interesting characters with completely different natures.There are many different characters and it is very hard to choose a favorite, as they are all individuals (与众不同的人) with their own personalities. The story kept me guessing as it takes many twists and turns (波折). My favorite part in the story was when the main character and her friend camp in a cave with gems (珍宝) in all of the walls. The description that the author gives here makes you think and keep the pages turning. There was nothing I really disliked about this book. Perhaps apart from the fact it ended on a cliffhanger (悬念), which I personally do not like in books generally.Overall I think this is a great book. I recommend it to teenagers and people aged 11 onwards. It can keep you guessing and wondering, which is a great characteristic of a book for me!By Grace BaytonGrace Bayton, 13, is an eighth-grader at Newbridge School, Wales, UK.

NO.1熬，是人生最深的滋味有人说，人生就像一碗粥，需要慢火“熬”。
也有人说，人生若苦药，需要文火慢“熬”。
亦有人说，人生是一碗汤，需要慢“熬”慢炖。
无论把人生比喻成什么，它都是一种经历，经历需要的是时间，用漫长的时间去经历，这就是“熬”。
人生用一“熬”字，初听会觉得夸张，可如果能够静静地坐下来，细细地体味自己人生经历的种种，恐怕无论男女老幼，都会觉得这一字用得实在精当。
林语堂说过一句话：“捧着一把茶壶，把人生煎熬到最本质的精髓。
”记不清什么时候读到这句话，只觉得特别精辟，林语堂所说的“这壶茶”，已经不只是“壶泡之茶”，应当是“心灵之茶”。
在人生的道路上，每个人遇到的都不会是一马平川，在“熬”的过程中，每个人都要尝遍各种各样的味道，咸味儿的眼泪，甜味儿的幸福，酸味儿的记忆，苦味儿的失败……但是，只要我们慢慢地“熬”，耐心地过，永远保持美好的希望和憧憬，过后你就会发现你会拥有人生里最为珍贵的历程。
“熬”，表面上是一种考验，实际上是一种升华。
每个人各自有不同的人生经历，如果想有一个丰富多彩的人生，就需要慢慢去“熬”，慢慢去经历、品味和体会。
只有走过了这个过程，才能尝到其中的酸甜苦辣！所以，用“熬”字来形容人生，是最恰当不过的了。
在漫长的人生中，什么都不是一眼看到头的，一时的春风得意算不了什么，一时的失败其实也不能算数。
纵观历史，孙武能“熬”得住，完成了举世闻名的《孙子兵法》；司马迁“熬”得住，花了十八年时间完成鸿篇巨制《史记》……相反有的人经不住诱惑，“熬”不住便把人生之路走得一塌糊涂。
因此说，“熬”住就是一切。
人生进退是常事，关键是能够“熬”住。
“熬”就是不轻易放弃，不随便离开自己的位置，就在那里一步步地努力，达到理想的目标。
“熬”得住，就能笑到最后。
“熬”要有耐心，“熬”不是你一个人“熬”，而是每个人都在“熬”。
“熬”的过程其实就是人生多姿多彩的历程。
我们不能坐着、躺着、等着离开，所以说人生的意义在于“熬”，在艰辛的日子里“熬”下去，走下去，充分享受“熬”，在这“酸甜苦辣咸”中缤纷每一个精彩的过程，每“熬”出一步，都是苦乐人生中最宝贵的财富，回忆里最美丽的画面。
“熬”，关键在于自己的心理调适！世上最好的羹汤，都是“熬”出来的。
就像茶是泡出来的，豆腐是磨出来的，功夫是练出来的一样，人生也是“熬”出来的。
“熬”，是人生最深的滋味！NO.2守骏如跛谁都一样，包括你我，对自己拥有的东西毫不珍惜，而对别人拥有的却十分艳羡。
看见别人穿了一件新衬衣心里就不平衡，却不看看自己脚上有一双新皮鞋。
当你为自己脚上的鞋有些蹩脚而怏怏不乐时，为什么不看看街头那个买瓜子的，他失去了一条腿，拄着双拐在风雨中踟蹰。
他连蹩脚的权利都失去了。
你能正常地呼吸，能不用别人的帮助走出室外接受阳光的抚摸，能下馆子，甚至能正常地听、看、说，比起某些人来，不就是一种幸福吗？“他人骑马我骑驴，后边还有推车人”。
事情又回到那个古老的命题，萄葡究竟是酸的还是甜的？狐狸嘴里说酸，心里却在想，那葡萄一定甜得了不得。
犹如你看见别人的新鞋漂亮，真穿到你脚上，说不定蹩得你受不了呢。
最好的办法是，珍惜自己嘴里的葡萄，不管是甜还是酸，因为也许有的人嘴里仅有葡萄核或葡萄皮，甚或没有葡萄，而你毕竟还有一颗酸葡萄。
如果碰巧你嘴里有一颗甜葡萄，那更应该珍惜了。
孔子游泰山，见到一个叫荣启的老头，穿着粗糙的皮裘，腰里系着草绳，却高兴地弹着琴唱着歌，孔子问他为什么这么高兴，荣启回答道：“我高兴的事太多了，天下万物，唯人为贵，而我有幸成为一个人，这是值得我第一件高兴的事；男尊女卑，我有幸为男，这是我高兴的第二件事；世上人熙熙攘攘，有的人早夭，有的人未出襁褓就成了殇子，而我有幸活这么大岁数，这是值得我高兴的第三件事。
”你瞧，只要你是一个人，就值得庆幸，因为你不是任人践踏砍伐的草木，不是任人射杀宰割的禽兽，你有思想，有喜怒哀乐、七情六欲，你是万物之灵，你不应该高兴吗？北宋时那个以研究易经术数之学而闻名的邵雍邵康节，曾有“五乐”“五喜”“四幸”的生活态度。
五乐：乐生中国，乐为男子，乐为士人，乐见太平，乐闻道义。
五喜：喜见善人，喜见好事，喜见美物，喜见嘉景，喜见大礼。
四幸：幸长年为寿域，幸丰年为乐国，幸清闲为福德，幸安康为福力。
以这个标准看现在，我们更应该乐上加乐。
你手里就有春天，为什么却羡慕别人花园里的鲜花呢？“守骏如跛”，此语出自苏东坡之口，意即如果你有一匹骏马，应该像对待跛马一样善待它，呵护它。
珍惜你的幸福的骏马吧，艳阳天，芳草地，骑马漫步其间，慢慢去体味那份幸福感，且莫粗暴地鞭挞它，君不见，好些人还在步行呢。
NO.3前面何所有李钢在《你在谁的伞下》给我们书写了一个好人假装好人的狼狈。
“他”，一个本性坦荡的谦谦君子，雨夜行进在一个年轻女郎的身后却被误认为是心怀不轨之徒，他看到那个女子的目光里带着疑惑甚至惊恐，为了她的安宁,“他”哼着小调步伐坚定从容地把背影留给了她，女子紧跟几步把雨伞擎在了他的头顶。
浑身湿透的“他”给了女子安全感，从而赢得了女子的信任和帮助。
同一个人，走在后面和走在前面只是位置不同，但是却给人的感觉迥然有别，这到底存在怎样的玄机？伫立冥想。
后面，那实在是一个叵测的存在，明枪易躲，暗箭难防，暗箭来自的方向或者在某一个帐幕的遮蔽之下或许就是隐在了背后。
暗在眼睛的视线外，尤其是在滚滚而来的黑夜里，眼睛前方的夜色终是难以分辨，更何况那背后的踢踏有声的影子！人们不仅害怕来自熟悉的面孔里的背后一枪，更害怕暗里的陌生面孔的较量。
这是一个客观存在。
前面何所有？走在后面的那个人，看到的是我们的背影，而我们看到的是前方，前方在视线内是安静的还是暗藏汹涌的，我们的眼睛会有一份捕捉判断，犀利的眼睛会把不利于自己的那些蛛丝马迹放大了理解，从而增强自己的安全感。
人们对于行走在自己前面的人总是给予更多的认同、敬仰。
能走在前面的人多是强大的生命个体。
你缩在逼仄的角落里无非是想保护自己那点可怜的自尊，你怕前面的目光将你一览无遗的暴露后猝然喊道自己的名字，而你对他那咄咄的提问难以招架，因为你的贫穷是强大的，你的反应能力跟着贫穷走了很多个回合俨然分不开彼此了。
你在尴尬里摇来摆去，这时你看到在你前面的那些人优雅从容的表现之后你的羡慕突然暴涨，而后就偃旗息鼓了，你在坚定着自己蹲在后面念头。
羡慕被强悍的自卑深深掩埋。
在这样的场合里，坐在前面的人是强势的，是你仰望的，他们主动地站起来，你的安全感就层层叠加。
这样的安全是你个人的赢得还是失去，你不想继续追问了。
那些为别人谋福而敢为天下先引领震荡的改革者，把最艰难的考验扛在自己孤零零的肩上，掮夜的闸门，把人们放到光明中去，你不缅怀吗？你在诗文里看到过“先天下之忧而忧，后天下之乐而乐”吧，你还看到过“我自横刀向天笑,去留肝胆两昆仑”吧，你还听到过令人胆寒麻木或者发聩的“这大清是我们大家的”呼喊吧……生活里这样的先又何其陌生呢？你该是听说过安徽省部分农民冒着危险，偷偷摸摸地把一些麦田、油菜田承包到自己家里去种，搞起了“包产到户”从而引发“家庭联产承包责任制”的风暴吧，你该是享受到了那一个老人描绘的春天的温暖……走在前面的人，不仅仅是把安全给别人赢得相应的信任，而且还会把这样安全的感觉不自觉的传递下去，引领更多的人欣羡之，践行之，走在前面的人越多，我们的安全感就越强。
前面何所有，你能看到，也能感到，或许你会成为前面的组成。
NO.4精品演讲辞欣赏做有行动力的理想主义者亲爱的同学们，老师们：今天，3300多名2015级新同学来到清华园，成为这里的新主人。
你们也是我担任清华大学校长后，迎来的第一批本科生。
在这里,我代表全校师生员工,对你们的到来表示热烈欢迎,并祝愿你们在美丽的清华园实现自己的人生理想！我是1983年进入清华的。
我知道，无论那时还是现在，能够来到清华上学都是不容易的，你们在成长过程中一定遇到过各种各样的困难和挑战。
昨天在新生报到的现场，我见到了来自甘肃的韩储银同学，他出生在农村家庭，成长之路充满了艰辛。
小学时，他每天上学要翻两座山、蹚一条水沟;初中时，冬天夜里在没有暖气的宿舍里冻得睡不着，他就去操场上读书;高中入校时，他被毕业生光荣榜上“清华大学”四个鲜红的大字吸引，从此立下“上清华”的志向。
今年他入选清华“自强计划”，并在高考(精品课)中获得全省理科第三名。
祝贺韩储银同学通过自己的努力成为清华的一员，同时也祝贺全体2015级的同学们圆梦清华！确实，“上清华”曾是你们最大的向往。
今天你们走入清华，并将在这里开启新的人生旅程。
在清华,你们将耳濡目染“爱国奉献、追求卓越”的文化与传统，亲身体会清华人特有的精神与气质。
在清华，你们有机会聆听学术大师的教诲，在汲取知识营养的同时，更能获得思想的启迪。
在清华，你们将与许多优秀的伙伴砥砺同行，并在集体中学会互助互爱，感受友谊的珍贵。
清华严谨的学风会帮助你们不断增长才干，充实自我。
按照价值塑造、能力培养、知识传授“三位一体”的教育理念，学校将为你们提供更好的学习环境和更大的发展空间。
你们中很多同学将有机会到海外交流学习，你们将在兴趣团队、创客空间、x-lab等创意创新创业“三创”教育平台上，发掘出自己的潜能。
丰富的社会实践、多彩的文体活动、多样的志愿服务都将成为你们挥洒青春激情的舞台。
清华足够大，就看你的梦想有多大！新的生活需要树立新的理想。
你们被清华录取后，我送给你们的礼物是《平凡的世界》这部书。
该书讲述了少平、少安等许多平凡人物的不平凡故事，书中写到，“只有决定了目标并在奋斗中，感到自己的努力没有虚掷，这样的生活才是充实的，精神也会永远年轻。
”少平、少安所处的时代对你们而言可能是陌生的，但人生的奋斗、理想的追求，在不同时代都是相似的。
理想是什么？理想是对未来的期望和憧憬，理想指引着人生前进的方向。
法国著名作家雨果曾说:“有了物质，人才能生存；有了理想，人才能生活。
”理想就像人生的发动机，有了它，才能获得前进的动力。
清华学生要具有理想主义精神。
理想主义意味着听从内心的召唤，突破现实的羁绊，追求有意义、有价值的人生目标。
在群星璀璨的智慧星空，那些最伟大的人物都闪耀着理想主义的光辉。
面对浮躁和功利的社会环境，理想主义的光芒将穿透世俗的藩篱，照亮前行的方向。
1993级校友童之磊，在大一时就想做一个“世界因我而改变”的人。
1999年，他意识到数字阅读将改变人类生活，于是创办了“中文在线”网站。
创业过程中，他的理想屡受打击，公司濒临破产，并被人收购，但他在别人都不看好的情况下，始终坚信自己的判断，依靠不懈的努力回购了公司，并在今年1月21日成功上市，成为全球中文数字出版的领跑者。
