“面朝大海

面朝大海

何谓大海?大海给人的第一感受就是辽阔，有言道：海纳百川。便是这么个理。而我的高中校园就曾一遍遍地以海的形式出现在我的脑海中。而我就是其中的一朵浪花或者一尾游鱼。我固执地认为这片“海”不能缺少我，虽然我并不出众，也没有俯视天地的雄才大略，但我能组成这广无边际的海，并在海中学会胸襟宽广、谦恭如斯。即使我渺小、平凡，但构成海洋的正是这般千千万万的“我”。故而我偏执地相信我的存在有价值。终有一日，我能让这片让我钦佩的海为我骄傲。在这一天到来之前，伴随我的会是海教会我的那句话：

人生在于态度，即便不俯视天地，至少也应该谦恭如斯。

春暖花开

沈从文先生说，不管是故事还是人生，一切都应当美一点。故而我那高中生活应该以美为原则开展和继续的。“春暖花开

常听人说：青春是多么美好，青春无悔。或许是没有切身体会过，我对青春没有太过的言语。但席慕容说，青春的美丽与珍贵，就在于它的无邪与无瑕，在于它的可遇而不可求，在于它的永不重回。感叹之余我也曾苦思：这样美好的青春若是在考试中一次一次地被错过被搁浅，那该多么遗憾!故而我所憧憬的高中生活不仅有繁多的学业，还有—

面朝大海

期盼，就是放飞心中的梦想，翱翔于无垠的蓝天之下。

——题记

春风又吹绿了江南，春又匆匆跑去，夏接上了这无聊的班……一年四季不停的交替着，我紧紧抓住时光，不愿它从我的身边溜走，可时光总顺着我的指尖悄悄的逝去，我拼命地与时间进行赛跑。

望着那幅《奔马图》，想着家人的话语，同个地点，同个场景，不同的事时光的流逝。“你一定要考上好的大学，不能让我们失望。”……这七嘴八舌的声音让我无法喘息，曾几何时，我已让他们有如此强大的期望了，肩上好重，心中好压抑，好想爆发，好想怒吼着说：“我没有这么强大，不要把所以的期望都放在我的身上!”可我不能，不能!我只有隐忍……刹那间，我貌似有了动力……

那幅《奔马图》上的几匹马是如此的健壮，提起脚，头向天空仰去，就好似向天空许下了一个坚定的意志，是一种不向上帝认输的坚定信念，它们想冲破一切阻碍，勇猛的，坚定不移的向前冲，奔向自己心中的那个梦想，那个目标。

沉默的我渐渐的在心中滋生了坚定的意志“我一定不能让我的家人失望，他们为我付出了太多了，我应该为他们支撑起一片蓝天了。”

彩虹无比美丽，人人皆知，但有谁想过，在这美丽形成之前，是先经过狂风暴雨的洗礼以及火球的曝晒后绽放的;有谁想过迷人的腊梅却是在风雪交加的天气下成长的。在这一切美丽的事物形成之前，总经过了各种挫折与困难的洗涤。

一只幼小的雏鹰正在渐渐的长大，她渐渐的放弃了家人给予她的羽翼，不论翱翔的路有多么的痛苦，不论翱翔的路要挥洒出多少汗水，她一定要学会飞翔更高更广的蓝天。这只小雏鹰的翅膀正在渐渐硬朗起来，她要学会自己面对一切，她要解决任何一个阻碍她前进的障碍。惋惜过去，却又不敢面对未来的我曾被深深卡在两堵让我望而却步的墙间，进退维谷，但现在我已准备好了，我抹去伤痛与泪水，站起来，迈开脚步向未来奔去。

我，想要成为一个家人心目中的佼佼者，要期盼着学业的成功与进步，我必须经历过各种的风霜。这个过程就像是一个探险游戏，在一个大森林里，只要害怕了，放弃了，走错一步后无法面对，我就会死亡于其中。

我期盼自己能成为家人的骄傲，我就必须努力，而且必须独立去克服种种困难，就像那幅《奔马图》一样，有着坚定不移的决心，好好把握时间，紧紧抓住时间，在这激流中载着我的梦想向未来杨帆起航!

传递历史的清音

江西一考生

历史的长河不息，永远传递着千古帝王的悲哀。

——题记

滚滚长江，掀起了滔天巨浪。那是历史的怒吼，是帝王家族无限的惆怅。它的每一次翻滚，都卷起一场不平凡的命运。历史的清音，携着帝王们的血泪，永恒地传递下去。

奏响悠扬的清音，延伸到凄凉的远古。

荒淫，泯灭人性的乐趣

酒池肉林中，落花沾染着多少无辜生命的鲜血。

为了博红颜一笑，他甘心让自己的灵魂堕入了地狱。商纣王，一个用残暴诠释爱怜的人，他的爱，造就了无数的冤魂。上天赋予了他至高无上的权力，无人能比的才能，可他却用了一个错误的方式去回馈上苍。他的爱，害了他的臣民，同时也将一切的罪过推向了他爱的人。沧桑的历史中，妲己——红颜祸水成了不可分割的两个词。虿盆里，是怨灵们的哭诉;炮烙柱下，是厉鬼们的怒号。泱泱大商，被这个曾经的天人，拖到了历史的底层。

历史的清音，氤氲着血与泪的见证。

跨越千年的长河，这清音，传递到了另一个悲剧中。

无奈，沦为傀儡的命运

幽幽汉宫中，清风吹不散束缚于身的枷锁。

西汉初年，一个群雄割据的年代。自汉高祖刘邦逝世，大汉政权被太后吕雉收入囊中，各分封国接连反抗。在吕雉的脚下，却还有一个被禁锢的帝王。汉惠帝刘盈，一个生错了年代的仁君，只有任凭母后在身上缠绕一根又一根的丝线。他的心中，只有一个愿望，那就是做一个平凡人，他不愿再看到自己的生母一次又一次的造孽。从小，他亲眼看见反抗者被制成人彘的惨剧，成人后，还要被迫迎娶自己的亲外甥女。他憎恨命运，憎恨母亲的残暴，却无法为身边的人做任何事，也许他最恨的是自己的优柔寡断。或许是上天的垂怜，使他及早地离开了这纷纷扰扰的红尘，永远闭上了只能见证悲剧的双眼。

历史的清音，散发着生与死的呼唤。

又是一个千年，这清音，缓缓飘入了华美的囚牢中。

失落，浪漫悲哀的词宗

独上西楼.剪不断的似水情愁。

云没孤鸿，泪泣琵琶，回首往事尽哀愁。南唐后主李煌，抚琴奏出了千古一帝的凄凉。他，迷醉在歌舞升平的浪漫中，挥霍着无尽的潇洒风流。这是一个千年难遇的词宗，却又是一个不称职的君主。以一个诗人的浪漫融入残酷的政治，让无辜的南唐随着他一起陨命。我看到，他仿徨的背影淹没在黑暗中，奏响了在孤寂的亭台中触摸悲凉的悼曲。这是历史的错孽，让一个文化天才埋没在帝王家族中。尘埃尽，硝烟散，他的悲哀将伴随着牵记而去。

历史的清音，传递着孤与愁的迷茫。

翩翩一叶扁舟，载不动许多愁，双肩扛起的，是数不尽的忧。让那一杯酒，喝尽千古曾经的承诺。传递历史的清音

2013年山东高考英语作文题目：给美国朋友Tom的回信

第二节：写作(满分30分)

假设你是新华中学的学生李华，你的美国朋友Tom一周前给你发电子邮件，询问你暑假里的打算，但你因准备期末考试未能及时回复。请根据以下要点给他回邮件：

1. 未及时回复的原因;

2. 你假期的打算(如做兼职、旅行、做志愿者等)。

注意： 1. 次数：120~150;

2. 可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。

【试题点评】

今年的书面表达题目延续山东省一贯的提纲作文命题习惯，时隔一年之后重新回到“书信题”的大框架中，考了一篇“以道歉信为外衣，以活动安排为主体段”的提纲作文，相当于10年山东卷(道歉信)和07年四川卷(假期安排)和合体。这种作文是我们平时经常练习的，因此套路很完善、套话很丰富。此外，本文中需要同学们翻译的难句不多，因此，只要在备考过程中有意识地了解过高考英语作文的提分方法，掌握了常用的亮点词汇、加分句型和过渡词，并加以针对性训练，这道题目应该不难写。

【经典套路】

第一段：问候+写信背景+写信目的

第二段：“道歉”部分(相当于“写信背景”)

第三段：“假期安排”部分

第四段：补充说明+客套话

【高分范文】

Dear Tom,

By the way, I have a busy schedule for my summer vacation.(主题句) First and foremost, I would do a part time job, so that my interpersonal skills would be improved.(拓展句1) Additionally, I will take a short trip to Beijing to take a summer course in the New Oriental School.(拓展句2) Last but not least, maybe I will work as a volunteer for the school as a teaching assistant.(拓展句3)

These are my plan for the summer vacation. What’s yours? I am looking forward to your earliest reply.(以合理的客套话结尾)

Dormitory Clean Duty In China, when students go to middle school, most of

them need to live in school from Monday to Friday, they can go home on

weekends.

Students have to spend most of their time in school, they start to learn to

get along with others.

Everyone has roommates, there are always four people live in a dormitory,

without parents’ caring, students need to take care of themselves.

The first question needs students to think about is the dormitory clean

duty, while most of them are princes and princess at home. Students need to do

the house work, they should take turns, in that case, the dormitory will keep

clean.

It is reported that boys’ room are dirty, because they never clean

dormitory.

It is everyone’s duty to clean the dormitory, we should not keep silent

about the problem, students need to realize the clean environment can make their

mood comfortable.

“有了你，我们的世界才会有美丽的颜色。水是无法替代的宝贝，我们要珍惜它!”这是一篇关于珍惜水源的诗歌，他告诉我们一个重要的问题的答案：珍惜每一滴水。

世界水日，这一天，人们需要珍惜这来之不易的水源。我们来做一个假想：如果我们1秒钟浪费一滴水，那么一天就会浪费掉大约86400滴水!我相信听到这个信息的你应该很震惊!所以我们要节约用水。

如何可以节约用水?在淘米时余下的水可以冲马桶，于是你省下了六升水;淘米水也可以浇花、洗碗，这样你又省下了三升水，除了这些，你还可以在洗手时，关小水龙头，或者在马桶中放半块砖头……总而言之，生活中能节约用水的机会非常多。

为什么我们要节约用水呢?因为地球上只有3%是淡水，而这3%中，还有86%是没有融化的冰川，有的同学可能会问为什么不用大海中无穷无尽的水呢?因为那些水并不是淡水，是不能饮用的，只有经过淡化的海水才可以饮用，这会儿你可能又要问为什么不淡化海水呢?因为淡化海水需要很多人力和财力，目前一吨水大约用5元人民币才能淡化，听着很少，但一个人用一吨水只够用五天!全国可是14亿人口呢!所以我们要节约用水。

现在，人们也采取了许多应对措施和警告。如“搬迁”河流、建设淡化海水站等等。虽然这些方法都不是很见效，但是也起到了一定的效果。真正的解决方法就是人类节约用水，不再随意浪费水资源，地球才不会枯竭。

让我们一起珍惜用水，珍惜水资源，珍惜地球资源吧!

水是生命的源泉!珍惜每一滴水，造福千万家。我们的生活中从来都离不开水。吃饭要用水，渴了也要喝水，洗衣服要用水，灌溉要用水……总之，有人的地方就会用到水。

随着现在社会的发展，科技迅速发达，就是在这样的情况下，我们的水资源不容乐观，每年的水资源开采过量。导致部分地区已经没有地下水了，需要从其他地区运输水过来。水资源十分紧迫，社会各界都在呼吁要保护水资源，珍惜水资源。可是，愚蠢的人类还意识不到这一点，还是在肆意的挥霍着水资源。我看到很多报道，尤其是非洲地区，水资源明显不足，甚至匮乏。前些年网上流传这一张照片，一个非洲小孩子瘦的皮包骨，旁边是一直乌鸦，似乎是乌鸦在等着孩子死亡后吃掉孩子的肉，这张照片看起来十分惊悚。都是缺乏水资源闹得，非洲的土地开裂，就像大峡谷一样，那里的人们无论是水资源还是其他的资源都很短缺，所以近些年的援助非洲的郑策1也有很多。

我们在生活中只要稍微注意一点节约用水就能起到很大的作用，加入我们每个人每天节约一升水，全国每天就能节约13亿升水，这是一个什么概念，这几乎是一个省份一个月的用水量啊!我们看似自己做的事情不起眼，可是人多力量大，每个人都有这样的观念，地球的水资源就能得到解决。

从小妈妈就教育我要节约用水，洗菜的水可以用来冲厕所，淘米水可以洗头，等等。虽然我一个人做的不多，可是我想大家都来做，我们的世界会不会变得更好呢。为了我们的未来，为了我们的子孙，请珍惜水资源，珍惜每一滴水。

My teacher gave me an assignment "experience life" last week. I had been thinking how to finish it because I had never done any thing by myself before.

Mother was out today. It was a good chance to complete the assignment. Seeing the barrel was empty, I decided to fetch water from the well.

I took the empty barrel and went towards the well outside the yard. It snowed yesterday, so the alley was very slippery. A layer of thickice was frozen on the platform of the well. I was frightened by the sight, but I gathered my courage to walk towards it.

The alley was so slippery that I walked with difficultly. Suddenly, I slipped and fell down, water in the barrel totally poured down on the ground. I stepped on the platform carefully. After standing steadily and squatting down slowly, I hooked the barrel at the end of the rope and put the rope down slowly. I made an effort to drag the barrel up after it was filled with water. I was very careful because it was easy to slip and fall. Then, I carried the barrel of water and returned to my house. My figners were frozen stiff. I realized my effort was in vain. I hated myself.

I failed to finish the assignment but I did experience life through a trifle which seemed easy but difficult to do well. Such was my first experience of life.

每年的阴历正月十五是中国人很重视的传统节日，元宵节。元宵节也叫“上元节”,春灯节，是很多家庭团圆的节日。正月十五日是一年中第一个月圆之夜，加上吃元宵的习俗，这个节日就和团圆两个字牢牢的联系起来。元宵节是春节之后的第一个重要节日，不管是南方北方都对这个节日比较重视，举行很多的活动来庆祝这个节日。大家一定很好奇元宵节的来历和习俗，现在中国吃网小编就告诉你元宵节是怎么来的，都有哪些习俗。

有关元宵节来历的说法多种多样，有3种说法流传较广。

元宵节来历传说一

宵节是汉文帝时为纪念“平吕”而设。相传吕后一系在吕后死后害怕大全旁落，密谋叛乱，宗室齐王刘囊联合开国老臣周勃一起平定了“诸吕之乱”。平乱之后，众臣拥立刘邦的第二个儿子刘恒登基，称汉文帝。文帝深感太平盛世来之不易，便把平息“诸吕之乱”的正月十五，定为与民同乐日，京城里家家张灯结彩，以示庆祝。从此，正月十五便成了一个普天同庆的民间节日--“闹元宵”。

元宵节来历传说二

元宵节又称“上元节”,是人们庆祝一年中第一次的月圆之夜。据道教的“三元说”,正月十五日为上元节，七月十五日为中元节，十月十五日为下元节。主管上、中、下三元的分别为天、地、人三官，天官喜乐，故上元节要燃灯。元宵燃灯放烟火的习俗就是从这个说法来的。

元宵节来历传说三

元宵节起源于“火把节”,汉代民众在乡间田野持火把驱赶虫兽，希望减轻虫害，祈祷获得好收成。直到今天，中国西南一些地区的人们还在正月十五用芦柴或树枝做成火把，成群结队高举火把在田头或晒谷场跳舞。隋、唐、宋以来，更是盛极一时。参加歌舞者足达数万，从昏达旦，至晦而罢。当随着社会和时代的变迁，元宵节的风俗习惯早已有了较大的变化，但至今仍是中国民间传统节日，火把也逐渐变为了彩灯。

自唐朝中期以来，元宵节发展成为了我国全民性的狂欢节，因此元宵节是把传统节日习俗体现得最为彻底和典型的传统节日。

大部分地方元宵节习俗有吃元宵、观花灯、猜灯谜，还有擂鼓、舞龙、舞狮等活动，但南北各地风俗也有独特之处。

美文欣赏:你可以选择自己想过的生活

Occasionally, life can be undeniably, impossibly difficult. We are faced with challenges and events that can seem overwhelming, life-destroying to the point where it may be hard to decide whether to keep going. But you always have a choice. Jessica Heslop shares her powerful, inspiring journey from the worst times in her life to the new life she has created for herself:

生活有时候困难得难以置信，但又不容置疑。我们面临的挑战与困境似乎无法抵御，试图毁灭我们生活，甚至使你犹疑是否继续走下去。但是你总有选择的余地。从人生低谷走向新生活的杰西卡·赫斯乐普，在这里与我们分享她启迪心灵、充满震撼力的生活之旅。

In 2012 I had the worst year of my life.

2012年是我生活中最艰难的一年。

I worked in a finance job that I hated and I lived in a concrete jungle city with little greenery. I occupied my time with meaningless relationships and spent copious quantities of money on superficialities. I was searching for happiness and had no idea where to find it.

我做着讨厌的财务工作，住在难寻绿色的高楼林立的城市。我忙于无意义的交往，在一些肤浅表面的东西上大笔开销。我寻找快乐，却又不知道它在哪里。

Then I fell ill with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) and became virtually bed bound. I had to quit my job and subsequently was left with no income. I lived with my boyfriend of then only 3 months who financially supported me and our relationship was put under great pressure. I eventually regained my physical health, but not long after that I got a call from my family at home to say that my father’s cancer had fiercely progressed and that he had been admitted to a hospice.

然后我患上了慢性疲劳综合症，几乎到了卧床不起的地步。我不得不辞掉工作，同时也就断了财源。我和那时仅相处了3个月的男友住在一起，经济上完全依赖于他，我们的关系承受着巨大压力。终于我恢复健康，但不久，我接到家里的电话，父亲的癌症急剧恶化，已经住进了临终关怀中心。

I left the city and I went home to be with him.

我离开了城市，回家陪父亲。

He died 6 months later.

6个月之后，他去世了。

My father was a complete inspiration to me. He was always so strong that, for a minute after he drew his last breath, I honestly thought he would come back to life. I couldn’t believe I would never again cuddle into his big warm chest and feel safe no matter what.

父亲的事让我彻底清醒。他一直很强壮，在他咽气之后一分钟里，我真的认为，他会活过来。我不能相信，我再也不能依偎在他温暖的怀抱里，享受他宽大的胸怀带给我的安全感。

The grief that followed was intense for all of us 5 children and our mother, but we had each other.

母亲和我们5个兄弟姐妹极为难过，但至少我们还拥有彼此。

But my oldest sister at that time complained of a bad back. It got so bad after 2 months that she too was admitted to hospital.

但是，那时我大姐开始抱怨着背痛，2个月后，因疼痛加剧也住进了医院。

They discovered that she had highly advanced cancer in her bones and that there was nothing that they could do.

医生们检查发现，她已是骨癌晚期，对此他们已无能为力。

She died 1 month later.

1个月之后，她也走了。

I could never put into words the loss of my sister in my life.

大姐的逝去让我陷入难以形容的痛苦之中。

She was a walking, talking angel and my favourite person in the whole world. If someone could have asked me the worst thing that could ever happen, it would have been losing her.

在这个世界上，她是一个能走路、会说话的天使，我最喜欢的人。如果有人问我，世界上发生的最坏的事情是什么，那就是失去她。

She was my soul-mate and I never thought I would journey this lifetime without her.

她是我的灵魂伴侣，我从来没有想过，我会走过没有她陪伴的生命旅程。

The Moment Of Deliberate Choice

抉择时刻

The shock and extreme heart break brought me to my knees. The pain was so great and my world just looked desolate. I had no real home, no money, no job, and no friends that cared. Not one person had even sent me a sympathy card for my loss.

我被打击和极度的心痛击挎了。强烈的痛苦使世界在我眼中变得如此凄凉。我没有真正意义上的家，没有钱，没有工作，也没有关心我的朋友。没有一个人因我失去亲人而寄给我慰问卡。

I made an attempt of my own life and I ended up in hospital.

我尝试着活下去，结果住进了医院。

I remember lying in the hospital bed, looking up at the ceiling and seeing my sister’s beautiful face. She stayed with me all night long.

我记得，躺在病床上，看着天花板，看到姐姐美丽的面庞。她整夜守候着我。

I realised during that night that I had a choice. I could choose to end my life or I could choose to live it.

那天晚上，我意识到我可以选择。要么结束生命，要么活下去。

I looked in my sister’s eyes and I made a decision not to go with her just yet. That I would stay and complete my journey here.

望着姐姐的眼睛，我决定不跟她走。我要留下来，走完我的生命旅程。

I also made the decision that, I wouldn’t just live any life. I would live the life that I absolutely LOVE and nothing less.

同时，我还决定，不只为生活而生活，我要完全以自己想要的方式生活。

In that moment, the clarity that descended around me was like a light shining in a dark room for the first time. As if the earth’s plates had shifted under my feet and everything suddenly looked real for the first time.

在那一刻，这一想法第一次清晰得如同一盏在黑暗闪烁的明灯。好像脚下的地球版块变换了，每一样东西在我眼前都真实得前所未有。

美文赏析:打开心门拥抱生活

We often close ourselves off when traumatic events happen in our lives; instead of letting the world soften us, we let it drive us deeper into ourselves. We try to deflect the hurt and pain by pretending it doesn’t exist, but although we can try this all we want, in the end, we can’t hide from ourselves. We need to learn to open our hearts to the potentials of life and let the world soften us.

生活发生不幸时，我们常常会关上心门；世界不仅没能慰藉我们，反倒使我们更加消沉。我们假装一切仿佛都不曾发生，以此试图忘却伤痛，可就算隐藏得再好，最终也还是骗不了自己。既然如此，何不尝试打开心门，拥抱生活中的各种可能，让世界感化我们呢？

Whenever we start to let our fears and seriousness get the best of us, we should take a step back and re-evaluate our behavior. The items listed below are six ways you can open your heart more fully and completely.

当恐惧与焦虑来袭时，我们应该退后一步，重新反思自己的言行。下面六个方法有助于你更完满透彻地敞开心扉。

1. Breathe into pain

直面痛苦

Whenever a painful situation arises in your life, try to embrace it instead of running away or trying to mask the hurt. When the sadness strikes, take a deep breath and lean into it. When we run away from sadness that’s unfolding in our lives, it gets stronger and more real. We take an emotion that’s fleeting and make it a solid event, instead of something that passes through us.

当生活中出现痛苦的事情时，别再逃跑或隐藏痛苦，试着拥抱它吧；当悲伤来袭时，试着深呼吸，然后直面它。如果我们一味逃避生活中的悲伤，悲伤只会变得更强烈更真实——悲伤原本只是稍纵即逝的情绪，我们却固执地耿耿于怀。

By utilizing our breath we soften our experiences. If we dam them up, our lives will stagnate, but when we keep them flowing, we allow more newness and greater experiences to blossom.

深呼吸能减缓我们的感受。屏住呼吸，生活停滞；呼出呼吸，更多新奇与经历又将拉开序幕。

2. Embrace the uncomfortable

拥抱不安

We all know what that twinge of anxiety feels like. We know how fear feels in our bodies: the tension in our necks, the tightness in our stomachs, etc. We can practice leaning into these feelings of discomfort and let them show us where we need to go.

我们都经历过焦灼的煎熬感，也都感受过恐惧造成的生理反应：脖子僵硬、胃酸翻腾。其实，我们有能力面对这些痛苦的感受，从中领悟到出路。

The initial impulse is to run away — to try and suppress these feelings by not acknowledging them. When we do this, we close ourselves off to the parts of our lives that we need to experience most. The next time you have this feeling of being truly uncomfortable, do yourself a favor and lean into the feeling. Act in spite of the fear.

我们的第一反应总是逃避——以为否认不安情绪的存在就能万事大吉，可这也恰好妨碍了我们经历最需要的生活体验。下次感到不安时，不管有多害怕，也请试着勇敢面对吧。

3. Ask your heart what it wants

倾听内心

We’re often confused at the next step to take, making pros and cons lists until our eyes bleed and our brains are sore. Instead of always taking this approach, what if we engaged a new part of ourselves that isn’t usually involved in the decision making process?

我们常对未来犹疑不定，反复考虑利弊直到身心俱疲。与其一味顾虑重重，不如从局外人的角度看待决策之事。

I know we’ve all felt decisions or actions that we had to take simply due to our “gut” impulses: when asked, we can’t explain the reasons behind doing so — just a deep knowing that it had to get done. This instinct is the part of ourselves we’re approaching for answers.

其实很多决定或行动都是我们一念之间的结果：要是追问原因的话，恐怕我们自己也道不清说不明，只是感到直觉如此罢了。而这种直觉恰好是我们探索结果的潜在自我。

To start this process, take few deep breaths then ask, “Heart, what decision should I make here? What action feels the most right?”

开始前先做几次深呼吸，问自己：“内心认为该做什么样的决定呢？觉得采取哪个方案最恰当？”

See what comes up, then engage and evaluate the outcome.

看看自己的内心反应如何，然后全力以赴、静待结果吧。

美文赏析:生活中你错过了什么？

In this life, what did you miss?

在生活中，你错过了什么？

The wife asked the husband when she was 25. Despondently, the husband replied: I missed a new job opportunity.

妻子25岁的时候这样问丈夫。丈夫沮丧地回答：“我错过了一个新的工作机会。”

When she was 35, the husband angrily told her that he had just missed the bus.

35岁时，丈夫生气地说他错过了公交车。

At 45, the husband sadly said: I missed the oppotunity seeing my closed relative before his last breath.

45岁时，丈夫悲伤地说：“我错过了见至亲最后一面的机会。”

At 55, the husband said disappointingly: I missed a good chance to retire.

55岁时，丈夫失望地说：“我错过了一个退休的好机会。”

At 65, the husband hurriedly replied: I missed a dental appointment.

65岁时，丈夫匆匆地回答：“我错过了和牙医的预约。”

At 75, the wife did not ask the husband anymore, the husband was kneeling in front of the very sick wife. Remembering the question the wife used to ask him, this time he asked the wife the same question. The wife, with a smile and peaceful look, replied: In this life, I did not miss having you!

75岁，妻子不再问丈夫同样的问题，丈夫跪在病重的妻子面前，想起以前妻子常常问起的那个问题，这次他也问了妻子同样的问题，妻子笑了笑，一脸平静地说：“我这一生，没有错过你！”

The husband was full of tears. He always thought that they could be together forever. He was always busy with work and trifles. So much so he had never been thoughtful to his wife. The husband hugged the wife tightly and said: Over 50 years, how I had allowed myself to miss your deep love for me.

丈夫满眼泪水，他总是认为可以和妻子白头到老，于是总是忙于工作和琐事，从没在意过妻子。他紧紧地抱住妻子说：“这50多年来，我怎么能允许自己错过了你对我的爱呢。”

In the busy city life, there are many people who are always busy with work. These people revolve their lives around their jobs, these people sacrifice all their times and health to meet the social expectations. They are unwilling to spend times on health care. They miss the opportunity to be with their children in their growing up. They neglect the loved ones who care for them, and also their health.

在繁忙的城市生活中，有人总是忙于工作。他们整天围着工作转，甚至为了达到社会的标准，牺牲了自己的健康。他们不愿花时间来关注自己的健康，在孩子成长的过程中错失了与之共享天伦之乐的机会。他们忽视了那些关心他们的人，以及他们的健康。

Nobody knows what is going to happen one year from now.

没有人知道一年后会发生什么事情。

Life is not permanent, so always live in the now. Express your gratitude to your loved ones in words. Show your care with actions. Treat everyday as the last episode of life. In this way, when you are gone, you loved ones would have nothing to feel sorry about.

生命不是永恒的，所以活在当下吧。把你对爱人的感谢说出来，用行动证明你关心他们。把每一天当作人生的最后一个篇章，只有这样，当你离开时，你爱的人们才会没有遗憾。

美文赏析:去经历去体验 做最好最真实的自己

Truly happy and successful people get that way by becoming the best, most genuine version of themselves they can be. Not on the outside--on the inside. Its not about a brand, a reputation, a persona. Its about reality. Who you really are.

真正快乐成功的人会长成最好最真实的自己——从内心而非外表上。重要的不是品牌、名誉或者外表形象，而是真实的自我。

Sounds simple, I know. It is a simple concept. The problem is, its very hard to do, it takes a lot of work, and it can take a lifetime to figure it out.

道理很简单，讲出来也很容易。但问题是，做起来就不简单了：这需要付诸很多努力，甚或一辈子才能实现。

Nothing worth doing in life is ever easy. If you want to do great work, its going to take a lot of hard work to do it. And youre going to have to break out of your comfort zone and take some chances that will scare the crap out of you.

需要穷尽毕生精力的事情必定不容易。成大事者必先苦其心志。因此，你必须走出舒适区，去经历、去体验那些会让你害怕的机会。

But you know, I cant think of a better way to spend your life. I mean, whats life for if not finding yourself and trying to become the best, most genuine version of you that you can be?

况且，人这一辈子，若到头来都认不清自己、未能长成最好最真实的自己，还有什么意义呢？

Thats what Steve Jobs meant when he said this at a Stanford University commencement speech:

正如史蒂夫-乔布斯在斯坦福大学的毕业典礼上所言：

Your time is limited, so dont waste it living someone elses life. Dont let the noise of others opinions drown out your own inner voice.

时间宝贵，不要虚掷光阴过着他人的生活。不要让周遭的聒噪言论蒙蔽你内心的声音。

You have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something--your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.

你要相信，生活中的偶然冥冥中也能指引未来。你要心怀信念——相信你的直觉、命运、生活抑或因缘。这个方法一直给我力量，促使我过得卓然不同。

The only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you havent found it yet, keep looking. Dont settle.

成大事的唯一途径就是做自己喜欢的事情。若你还没找到，那就继续追寻吧，不要停下来。

Now, lets for a moment be realistic about this. Insightful as that advice may be, it sounds a little too amorphous and challenging to resonate with todays quick-fix culture. These days, if you cant tell people exactly what to do and how to do it, it falls on deaf ears.

现在我们来实际一点：建议或许很深刻，但听完却让人无从着手，难以运用到当今的快节奏文化中。现如今，如果一个建议讲不清具体做什么、该怎么做的话，那么说了也等于白说。

Not only that, but what Jobs was talking about, what Im talking about, requires focus and discipline, two things that are very hard to come by these days. Why? Because, focus and discipline are hard. Its so much easier to give in to distraction and instant gratification. Easy and addictive.

不仅如此，乔布斯的讲话和我要说的话都需要集中和自制——这两个品质在当今社会非常难能可贵。何以见得？因为集中和自制都不容易做到。人们很容易分散注意力、寻求即时快 感——舒服且容易上瘾。

To give you a little incentive to take on the challenge, to embark on the road to self-discovery, here are three huge benefits from working to become the best, most genuine version of yourself.

为激励你迎接挑战、踏上寻求自我的旅途，我列出了成为最好最真实自己后的三大益处：

It will make you happy. Getting to know yourself will make you feel more comfortable in your own skin. It will reduce your stress and anxiety. It will make you a better spouse, a better parent, a better friend. It will make you a better person. Those are all pretty good reasons, if you ask me.

你会感到快乐。了解自己后会让你更愉悦地接受自己，减轻你的压力和焦虑，使你成为更好的伴侣、父母、朋友，让你成为一个更美好的人。这些益处难道不够说服你为之努力吗？

Besides, you really wont achieve anything significant in life until you know the real you. Not your brand, your LinkedIn profile, how you come across, or what anyone thinks of you. The genuine you. Theres one simple reason why you shouldnt try to be something youre not, and its that you cant. The real you will come out anyway. So forget your personal brand and start spending time on figuring out who you really are and trying to become the best version of that you can be.

而且，只有了解真实的自己方能成就大事。你需要了解那个真实的你，而不是你的品牌、名誉、LinkedlIn资料、你的过去抑或他人对你的看法。为什么你不应该过他人的生活？很简单，因为首先你不是“其他人”，你的本性总有一天会现形。所以，请放开你的品牌形象，努力发掘真实自我、努力把自己经营成最好的自己吧。

美文赏析:爱情不是商品

Love Is Not Like Merchandise

爱情不是商品

A reader in Florida, apparently bruised by some personal experience, writes in to complain, "If I steal a nickels worth of merchandise, I am a thief and punished; but if I steal the love of anothers wife, I am free."

佛罗里达州的一位读者显然是在个人经历上受过创伤, 他写信来抱怨道: “如果我偷走了五分钱的商品, 我就是个贼, 要受到惩罚, 但是如果我偷走了他人 妻子的爱情, 我没事儿。”

This is a prevalent misconception in many peoples minds---that love, like merchandise, can be "stolen". Numerous states, in fact, have enacted laws allowing damages for "alienation of affections".

这是许多人心目中普遍存在的一种错误观念——爱情, 像商品一样, 可以 “偷走”。实际上，许多州都颁布法令，允许索取“情感转让”赔偿金。

But love is not a commodity; the real thing cannot be bought, sold, traded or stolen. It is an act of the will, a turning of the emotions, a change in the climate of the personality.

但是爱情并不是商品；真情实意不可能买到，卖掉，交换，或者偷走。爱情是志愿的行动，是感情的转向，是个性发挥上的变化。

When a husband or wife is "stolen" by another person, that husband or wife was already ripe for the stealing, was already predisposed toward a new partner. The "love bandit" was only taking what was waiting to be taken, what wanted to be taken.

当丈夫或妻子被另一个人“偷走”时，那个丈夫或妻子就已经具备了被偷走的条件，事先已经准备接受新的伴侣了。这位“爱匪”不过是取走等人取走、盼人取走的东西。

We tend to treat persons like goods. We even speak of the children "belonging" to their parents. But nobody "belongs" to anyone else. Each person belongs to himself, and to God. Children are entrusted to their parents, and if their parents do not treat them properly, the state has a right to remove them from their parents trusteeship.

我们往往待人如物。我们甚至说孩子“属于”父母。但是谁也不“属于”谁。人都属于自己和上帝。孩子是托付给父母的，如果父母不善待他们，州政府就有权取消父母对他们的托管身份。

Most of us, when young, had the experience of a sweetheart being taken from us by somebody more attractive and more appealing. At the time, we may have resented this intruder---but as we grew older, we recognized that the sweetheart had never been ours to begin with. It was not the intruder that "caused" the break, but the lack of a real relationship.

我们多数人年轻时都有过恋人被某个更有诱惑力、更有吸引力的人夺去的经历。在当时，我们兴许怨恨这位不速之客---但是后来长大了，也就认识到了心上人本来就不属于我们。并不是不速之客“导致了”决裂，而是缺乏真实的关系。

On the surface, many marriages seem to break up because of a "third party". This is, however, a psychological illusion. The other woman or the other man merely serves as a pretext for dissolving a marriage that had already lost its essential integrity.

从表面上看，许多婚姻似乎是因为有了“第三者”才破裂的。然而这是一种心理上的幻觉。另外那个女人，或者另外那个男人，无非是作为借口，用来解除早就不是完好无损的婚姻罢了。

Nothing is more futile and more self-defeating than the bitterness of spurned love, the vengeful feeling that someone else has "come between" oneself and a beloved. This is always a distortion of reality, for people are not the captives or victims of others---they are free agents, working out their own destinies for good or for ill.

因失恋而痛苦，因别人“插足”于自己与心上人之间而图报复，是最没有出息、最自作自受的乐。这种事总是歪曲了事实真相，因为谁都不是给别人当俘虏或牺牲品——人都是自由行事的，不论命运是好是坏，都由自己来作主。

But the rejected lover or mate cannot afford to believe that his beloved has freely turned away from him--- and so he ascribes sinister or magical properties to the interloper. He calls him a hypnotist or a thief or a home-breaker. In the vast majority of cases, however, when a home is broken, the breaking has begun long before any "third party" has appeared on the scene.

但是，遭离弃的情人或配偶无法相信她的心上人是自由地背离他的——因而他归咎于插足者心术不正或迷人有招。他把他叫做催眠师、窃贼或破坏家庭的人。然而，从大多数事例看，一个家的破裂，是早在什么“第三者”出现之前就开始了的。

【实现被嘲笑梦想，让人生熠熠生辉】

阅读下面的材料，按要求写一篇不少于800字的作文

旧报纸，若是卖给收废品的，一斤大约三四毛钱。但上海吴江路就有一家老报纸馆专营《人民日报》《光明日报》《解放军日报》和《文汇报》等老报纸，每张能卖到200多元。原来，商家打出的宣传是这样的：为自己或者是亲人买一份生日老报纸吧!颜色已发黄的老报纸配以充满怀旧情调的包装，就有一些历史的韵味。顾客主要是二三十岁的上海市民，他们或者购买自己出生那一天的报纸，看看自己出生那天世界发生了哪些事，或者买来赠送给长辈，已引起长辈对青春的回忆。三四毛钱一斤的旧报纸得以卖出每张二百多元的高价，价钱翻了千倍以上，可谓极高的附加值了。可商家刚有这个想法的时候，曾引来多少人的嘲笑啊!

要求选好角度，确定立意，明确文体，自拟标题;不要脱离材料内容和含意的范围作文，不要套作，不得抄袭。

【佳作赏析】

是什么让一张旧报纸有了极高的附加值?是怀旧的情调?是历史的韵味?还是商业的头脑?窃以为，是卓尔不群的梦想!是敢想敢做的勇气!更是不忘初心的坚持!梦想，从来都是如此，说的人多，做的人少!被嘲笑的梦想，才有实现的价值!

历史传奇的史册里，写满了成功者被嘲笑的委屈，更写满了成功者梦想成真的荣耀和光辉。陈胜、吴广喊出“王侯将相宁有种乎”时，被众人耻笑，自不量力。但就是这样两位“氓隶之人”奏响了亡秦的序曲。历史就是这样，用屈辱考验成功，用辛酸铸就伟业!

清太祖努尔哈赤，凭借先祖遗留的十三副盔甲，兴兵辽河边，转战白山黑水，统一女真诸部，建国后金，创立八旗制度，为大清入主中原，奠定了坚实的根基。努尔哈赤起兵之初，兵力不足百人，武器装备不过铁甲十三副，要以这样的军力与幅员辽阔，拥兵百万的大明朝较量，简直是天方夜谭!刚开始就连他最亲近的将领，都劝他要继续韬光养晦。而更多的人则对他的疯狂之举，报以轻蔑的讪笑!与他联盟的城主，不相信他能成功，部队开拔之际，便弃他而去。但努尔哈赤并不气馁，他一鼓作气，一路上攻城略地，所到之处势如破竹。强大的敌人，无不臣服于他披荆斩棘的坚持和所向披靡的勇气!

回顾历史，努尔哈赤问鼎中原的梦想，就是在一次又一次的嘲笑与质疑中，渐渐地实现。梦想并非遥不可及，只要我们有坚持的勇气!

现实生活的舞台上，演绎着成功者被忽视的过往，更流传着成功者励志的艰辛和辉煌，韩寒说出，“用稿费养活自己”时，引来了在场老师的一阵哄笑。但就是这样一个退学的高中生，日后登上了中国作家财富榜。现实就是这样，用时间验证成功，用机遇书写传奇。

阿里巴巴的总裁马云，几度风雨，几度峥嵘。开设淘宝网，创立支付宝。2015年双十一，淘宝单日成交900亿元，马云开创了中国人的购物新格局。

而在1996年，创业之始的马云在北京推销自己的一款网络产品——中国黄页，业务开展并不顺利。甚至，在他描述互联网经济时，被人嘲笑为是“骗子”。马云伤心却不绝望地说：“再过几年，北京就不会这么对我。再过几年，你们都知道，我是干什么的。”如今的马云早已成为叱咤商界的大佬。谈起曾经的创业艰辛，马云最常说的是：“与其说是互联网成就了我，不如说是梦想成就了我!”

无论是历史传奇，还是现实故事，那些曾经被嘲笑的人，只要怀揣勇气，不忘初心，坚持下去，终有一天，那些被嘲笑的梦想，会让你的人生熠熠生辉!
