你听说过害的女儿的故事么。如果没有，快来看看吧。

"Yes, you are dear to me," said the prince; "for you have the best heart, and you are the most devoted to me; you are like a young maiden whom I once saw, but whom I shall never meet again. I was in a ship that was wrecked, and the waves cast me ashore near a holy temple, where several young maidens performed the service. The youngest of them found me on the shore, and saved my life. I saw her but twice, and she is the only one in the world whom I could love; but you are like her, and you have almost driven her image out of my mind. She belongs to the holy temple, and my good fortune has sent you to me instead of her;we will never part."

“是的,你是我最亲爱的人!”王子说,“因为你在一切人中有一颗最善良的心。你对我是最亲爱的,你很像我某次看到过的一个年轻女子,可是我永远再也看不见她了。那时我是坐在一艘船上——这船已经沉了。巨浪把我推到一个神庙旁的岸上。有几个年轻女子在那儿作祈祷。她们最年轻的一位在岸旁发现了我,因此救了我的生命。我只看到过她两次:她是我在这世界上能够爱的唯一的人,但是你很像她,你几乎代替了她留在我的灵魂中的印象。她是属于这个神庙的,因此我的幸运特别把你送给我。让我们永远不要分离吧!”

"Ah, he knows not that it was I who saved his life," thought the little mermaid. "I carried him over the sea to the wood where the temple stands: I sat beneath the foam, and watched till the human beings came to help him. I saw the pretty maiden that he loves better than he loves me;" and the mermaid sighed deeply, but she could not shed tears. "He says the maiden belongs to the holy temple, therefore she will never return to the world. They will meet no more: while I am by his side, and see him every day. I will take care of him, and love him, and give up my life for his sake."

“啊,他却不知道我救了他的生命!”小人鱼想。“我把他从海里托出来,送到神庙所在的一个树林里。我坐在泡沫后面,窥望是不是有人会来。我看到那个美丽的姑娘——他爱她胜过于爱我。”这时小人鱼深深地叹了一口气——她哭不出声来。“那个姑娘是属于那个神庙的——他曾说过。她永不会走向这个人间的世界里来——他们永不会见面了。我是跟他在一起,每天看到他的。我要照看他,热爱他,对他献出我的生命!”

Very soon it was said that the prince must marry, and that the beautiful daughter of a neighboring king would be his wife, for a fine ship was being fitted out. Although the prince gave out that he merely intend

WHERE THERE IS A WILL, THERE IS A WAY

The secret of success (The key to success) is not so much money as a strong will. A great man is one who has a strong will and an indomitable spirit. In other words, if a man does not have a strong will to win (get) the final victory, he will never succeed in his life. He is no more than a failure.

It is quite obvious that there is no difficult thing (nothing difficult) in the world. if you make up your mind to do it, you will certainly accomplish your end. That stands to reason.

蔡特金是德国工人运动和国际工人运动杰出的女活动家，德国共产党的创建人之一。她为国际妇女运动做出了卓越的贡献。她还是三八国际劳动妇女节的创始人。

很小的时候，蔡特金就表现出了她对弱者的同情心和爱心。

有一次，小蔡特金和父亲一块儿逛街，见到了一个小报童，这位小报童穿得又脏又烂，十分可怜。这个时候，小蔡特金顿时产生了同情之心，便把平时积攒下来和零花钱拿了出来，一下子向小报童买了七份报纸。

蔡特金的父亲十分好奇，不知道自己的女儿为什么要买这么多的报纸，于是就问：“你为什么要买这么多的报纸?一份不就够了吗?”

小蔡特金以为爸爸批评她乱花钱，难过得低下了头。

爸爸看出了女儿的心思，便对女儿说：“孩子，别误会，我当然知道你为什么买这样多，但是你给他七份的钱，拿一份不就可以了吗?其他的可以让他去卖嘛!”

小蔡特金顿时恍然大悟，连忙取出了一份报纸，把剩下的都还给了报童。

我的爸爸是一名教师，他平时工作非常忙。但是，他依然每天都细心的照顾我。这些天，我迷上了吃汉堡，经常在麦当劳和雄州买汉堡吃。爸爸认为外面的汉堡不健康，就花大价钱给我买健康的材料回家自己做汉堡。每天天还没亮，我还在呼呼大睡的时候，爸爸就已经起来给我做早饭了。他做早餐的时候非常忙碌，左手煎肉饼，右手给我热牛奶，还要准备奶酪、生菜等材料。每次都是爸爸做好了汉堡以后，才肯叫醒我。当我来到餐桌前的时候，都能看见爸爸辛辛苦苦给我做的汉堡摆在盘子里，静静等待着我去吃掉它。可是，我不忍心吃掉它，因为它非常漂亮。在金黄色的汉堡胚里夹着棕色的肉饼、奶黄色的芝士片、红色的番茄酱和绿色的青菜，看起来像一件精美的艺术品。可是一闻道那诱人的香味，我就忍不住了。

虽然我吃汉堡的时候，觉得跟外面的味道不大一样，但是，我吃到了一种特殊的味道，那就是爸爸的爱，这种味道在外面是永远买不到的。

上帝的权杖划过天际，一道强光闪过，在中国的某个地方上空出现了一条时空隧道，一架考察飞机刚好进入隧道，在时空的穿梭里颠簸。

“我们与指挥部失去联系了!”“钟停了，正在倒行，时空好像扭转了!”机舱内乱作一团。这是“希波”号考察机，机长是我。这次任务是雅典周围寻找关于希波战争的资料，不料却有此不幸。

“脱险了!”望着眼前的一片光明，艾尔说道。

我来到机窗前俯视大地，一种空旷的感觉向我袭来：“这好像不是中国上空，有点像马拉松平原!”

艾尔也发现了一些猫腻——“看。那是波斯国旗!”我顺着他手指的方向望去，果然看见了一面波斯国旗被一群人簇拥着缓缓前进。“无疑，”我望着艾尔，“我们穿越时空了。”

我把飞机降了一些，跟随波斯国王大流士的军队一起前进。军队行至一片小树林，突然，一万多步兵从林中、土堆出现了，把三万多人的大流士军队团团包围，随即历史上著名的马拉松战役爆发了。虽然大流士军队是人多势众，但是由一万多步兵组成的雅典军队更加骁勇善战，以一敌十。一阵刀光剑影之后，大流士军队被杀的血流成河，横尸遍野，狼狈而逃。

大将希斯克十分高兴，当下派出通讯员菲迪·皮得斯·斐力庇底斯去雅典报捷。皮得斯也兴冲冲地接受了任务，转身就向西南方向奔去。

我们跟在他上面和他一起走，只见他跑了七八分钟后便有些体力不支，他停了下来，但绝对没有超过一秒钟，他又开始跑了。我用望远镜发现他已经满头大汗，衣服已经湿透了，“呼哧，呼哧”地喘着粗气：“加油!皮得斯，一定要让人们尽快知道这个消息!”他又加大了步伐狂奔起来。过了二十多分钟，皮得斯已经近乎崩溃，但他还是坚持着向前跑着，还不断地说：“加油!为了人民!加油!为了军队!加油!为了国家!”皮得斯就这样又跑饿许久，我看了一下飞机上的路程表：“已经跑了三十多公里了，这样下去皮得斯撑得住吗?”“撑得住!”艾尔冷不丁地蹦出来一句，“有他的爱国情感和责任心撑着他，会到达终点的!”没错，皮得斯不停地跑着，只有责任心和强烈的爱国情感才能支撑的。一步步地前进就好像抬起一块沉重的石头再放下。皮得斯开始神志不清，他的头轻轻地晃，眼也不停地眨着。他用力甩甩头，还是继续前进，终于雅典域出现在他的眼前。他还是不停，一口气奔到广场上倒下了。他又拼出自己最后的一口气说道：“我们胜利了。”便永远地闭上了眼睛。

我的眼角湿润了，我不是为皮得斯哀悼，而是为他的责任心和伟大的爱国精神深深地折服。我和艾尔驾驶着飞机找到时空隧道，向现实中飞去。物品最后回头看了一眼为皮得斯默哀的人们，心想：安息吧!英雄!我们现代人可以重温你的辛劳，但是要想有像你那样为国牺牲，为民而死的爱国情怀和强烈的责任心是比登天还难的。

In the Song Dynasty (宋朝) there was a joker called Sun Shan (孙山).

宋朝有一个很幽默的人，他叫孙山。

One year he went to take the imperial examination, and came bottom of the list of successfulcandidates.

有一年他去参加考试，公布名单时他是最后一名。

Back in his hometown, one of his neighbor asked him whether the neighbors son had also passed.

回到家，他的邻居向他打听自己的儿子考得怎么样。

Sun Shan said, with a smile:"Sun Shan was the last on the list. Your son came after Sun Shan."

孙山笑着对邻居说：“孙山考了最后一名，你儿子的名字还在孙山的后面呢。”

The people used this idiom to indicate failing in an examination or competition.

人们用“名落孙山”来比喻考试没有考上或者选拔没有被录取。

Recently, I was moved by a warming news. A boy from America was loved by a

lot of soldiers. The boys father was a policeman and he was sent to a foreign

country to carry the mission. Unluckily, he got shot and died. The world was sad

for him. This man left his wife and a small boy forever. The lucky thing for the

little boy was that his fathers colleagues decided to protect and love this boy

until he grew up. Love has been continued from this story. For most people, they

are lucky to be loved by parents and friends. While for few people, who have

gone through some disasters, they got care from the public. So no matter what

kind of difficulty we will face, we cant give up hope, because there is always

someone love us.

一天，山羊爷爷买来锄头和铁锹，在森林里忙碌开来。他找到一块没有树木的空地，先铲除杂草，接着挖起一个个小土坑来。挖完这一块空地，他又找另一块空地接着挖。

山羊爷爷挖成的小土坑排列没规律，这儿一个，那儿一个；坑和坑的距离不相同，有的短 ，有的长 ；土 坑大小也不一，大的可装下一个排球，小的只能容下一个乒乓球了。

一连好几个月，山羊爷爷都做这事，他不嫌累，不怕脏，整日乐呵呵的。森林里的空地都被他老人家挖完了。

一次兔子妈妈碰到山羊爷爷，她好奇地问:”山羊爷爷，你挖小土坑有什么用呀？“

山羊爷爷捋了捋白胡子，笑着回答说“这些小土坑啊是爱心屋，我要用它们贮藏爱心！“

兔子妈妈先摇了摇头再点了点头，说：“贮藏爱心？爱心屋？爱心屋好呀！“

山羊爷爷是森林学校的首任校长，一生桃李满天下。现在他年纪大退休了，可学生们却没忘记他，不断有学生来看望他们的老校长。

山羊爷爷有一个布袋子，专门来装学生们送的礼物。

春天，一大群喜鹊飞来看望山羊爷爷了，他们衔来许多成熟的枇杷孝敬老校长。山羊爷爷乐得合不拢嘴，说：“我一个人吃不了这些枇杷，来，你们帮我吃。吃完后把枇杷子放进布袋里，我要把你们的爱心贮藏起来！“

喜鹊们离开后，山羊爷爷把半袋子枇杷子提到森林东边的一块空地上。他一个土坑放一粒枇杷子，然后用土填平土坑。山羊爷爷把喜鹊们的爱 心藏进爱心屋。

夏天，一群猴子从老山羊家经过，他们给老校长送来一大篮子红桃。山羊爷爷高兴得走路一颠一颠，他说：“这么多桃子，我一个人吃不完。来来来，你们一人一个，解解渴。吃完后，把桃核放进布袋里，我要把你们的爱心贮藏起来。“

第二天一大早，山羊爷爷把一袋子桃核提到森林南边的一块空地上，他一个土坑埋一粒大桃核，把猴子们的爱心精心贮藏起来。

秋天，松鼠们在山羊爷爷家相聚，他们抬来一筐蜜枣。山羊爷爷喜得眉毛都在笑，他说：“谢谢你们还记得老校长！这么多蜜枣，我吃一个月都吃不完。来，你们每人十粒，吃完后把种子留下，我要用布袋贮藏你们的爱心。“

吃完蜜枣后，山羊爷爷和松鼠们一起，来到森林西边的一块空地上。松鼠们知道小土坑是老校长的爱心屋，就帮山羊爷爷将一布袋蜜枣种子分散贮藏起来。

冬天，黑熊冬眠前又给山羊爷爷寄来一大箱礼物，山羊爷爷连脸上的皱纹都在乐。他打开箱子，里面是一袋袋栗子。他说：“今年的栗子我就不吃了。“

山羊爷爷把栗子倒入布袋，提着它们来到森林北边的一块空地上。他给每个栗子找一个土坑，就像给他们找一个新家；然后给他们盖上松土，就像盖上棉被。

第二年春暖花开季节，山羊爷爷贮藏的所有种子破土而出，发了芽，长成小树。人们便把这些树叫爱心树。

一年又一年，山羊爷爷贮藏的爱心越来越多，山上的空地都变成果林 。

山羊爷爷去世那天，有些爱心树开花了……

英语寓言小故事：The Wolf and the Lamba

Wolf, meeting with a Lamb astray from the fold, resolved not to lay violent hands on him, but to find some plea, which should justify to the Lamb himself his right to eat him. He thus addressed him:"Sirrah, last year you grossly insulted me." "Indeed," bleated the Lamb in a mournful tone of voice, "I was not then born." Then said the Wolf, "You feed in my pasture."

"No, good sir," replied the Lamb, "I have not yet tasted grass." Again said the Wolf, "You drink of my well." "No," exclaimed the Lamb, "I never yet drank water, for as yet my mother′s milk is both food and drink to me." On which the Wolf seized him, and ate him up, saying, "Well! I won′t remain supperless, even though you refute every one of my imputations."The tyrant will always find a pretext for his tyranny.

狼和小羊

一只狼瞧见一只迷路失群的小羊，决定暂缓下毒手，想先找一些理由，对小羊证明自己有吃它的权利。它就说：「小鬼!你去年曾经骂过我。」小羊可怜地说：「老实说，我去年还没有出生呢。」狼再说：「你在我的草地上吃过草。」

小羊回答说：「不，好先生，我还未曾尝过草的味道呢。」狼又说：「你喝过我井里的水。」小羊叫道：「不，我从没有喝过水，因为直到今天为止，我都是吃着母亲的奶汁。」狼一听这话，便抓住它，把它吃下去，便说：「好!即使你驳倒我每一句话，我终究要吃晚餐的!」暴君总有他暴行的借口。

“如果人人都付出一点爱，世界将会变成美好的人间……”这耳熟能详的旋律久久地回荡在耳畔。只要听到这首动人的歌曲，我就会想起那次难忘的“天使的微笑”活动。

那时候，我还在小主人报班里学习。一次，老师向我们介绍“天使的微笑”，这是为特殊教育学校的孩子们准备的爱心义卖活动，每个小组还要准备表演一个节目。我的好奇心被吊起来了，特殊教育学校的孩子们或耳聋，或失明，或双脚残疾，他们的内心世界是怎样的呢？他们除了身体不健全外还有其他和我们正常人不一样的地方吗？

我把疑惑压在心底，与同学杨雅冰、孙陆滢和聂音淑一起排练诗歌《天使的翅膀》，这是一首以残疾人的视角写的小诗。我们练得口干舌燥，但我不敢松懈，我们不能让残疾孩子们失望呀！

终于到了“天使的微笑”活动那天，我早早地来到了特殊教育学校。在快轮到我们表演时，我的心紧张得怦怦直跳，真像十五个水桶打水——七上八下。悠扬的音乐响起来，我们默契地按着排练排的那样一起先念了题目《天使的翅膀》，四周安静得好像能听见彼此的呼吸声。杨雅冰第一个跨前一步，抑扬顿挫地念道∶“我来到这个世界的第一声啼哭，和你的哭声一样，清脆、响亮……”时间好像被拉长了，几分钟漫长得好像一个世纪。等我们都依次读完自己该读的小节，大家一起大声念道：“给我一对翅膀，我也能飞翔！”下面掌声一片，我还看见残疾孩子们手拉着手，对我们微笑。

接下来，就是热火朝天的拍卖会，拍卖的物品都是残疾孩子们亲手做的串珠艺术品。有的是憨态可掬的熊猫，有的是小巧玲珑的小钱包，有的是青翠欲滴的花草植物……它们个个晶莹剔透，姹紫嫣红的珠子像水晶一样闪闪发光。我用自己的零花钱买了许多精美的串珠作品。它们都是残疾孩子们凝聚的心血和汗水啊！我无法想象，这些巧夺天工的作品是怎么在他们的手中诞生的，一定是要经过他们夜以继日、坚持不懈的努力，他们坚韧不拔的精神难道不值得我们学习吗？

“天使的微笑”活动完美落幕，我在这次有意义的爱心活动中收获不菲，我看到了残疾孩子们的不屈不挠，更看到了大家一片赤诚的爱心。

南瓜灯(Jack-O-Lantern)是庆祝万圣节的标志物。下面语文迷网整理了关于南瓜灯的故事作文，希望对你有帮助。

One story about Jack， an Irishman， who was not allowed into Heaven because he was stingy with his money. So he was sent to hell. But down there he played tricks on the Devil (Satan)， so he was kicked out of Hell and made to walk the earth forever carrying a lantern.

Well， Irish children made Jacks lanterns on October 31st from a large potato or turnip， hollowed out with the sides having holes and lit by little candles inside. And Irish children would carry them as they went from house to house begging for food for the village Halloween festival that honored the Druid god Muck Olla. The Irish name for these lanterns was "Jack with the lantern" or "Jack of the lantern，" abbreviated as " Jack-o-lantern" and now spelled "jack-o-lantern."

The traditional Halloween you can read about in most books was just childrens fun night. Halloween celebrations would start in October in every elementary school.

关于万圣节有这样一个故事。是说有一个叫杰克的爱尔兰人，因为他对钱特别的吝啬，就不允许他进入天堂，而被打入地狱。但是在那里他老是捉弄魔鬼撒旦，所以被踢出地狱，罚他提着灯笼永远在人世里行走。

在十月三十一日爱尔兰的孩子们用土豆和萝卜制作“杰克的灯笼”，他们把中间挖掉、表面上打洞并在里边点上蜡烛。为村里庆祝督伊德神的万圣节，孩子们提着这种灯笼挨家挨户乞讨食物。这种灯笼的爱尔兰名字是“拿灯笼的杰克”或者“杰克的灯笼”，缩写为Jack-o-lantern 。

现在你在大多数书里读到的万圣节只是孩子们开心的夜晚。在小学校里，万圣节是每年十月份开始庆祝的。孩子们会制作万圣节的装饰品：各种各样桔红色的南瓜灯。

Thetruest and most expressive thought was hardly be expressed.

Weall face it alone in silence to the most important thing in life. We can talkoccasionally about love, loneliness, happiness, miseries, death and so on, butthe true meaning is hard to deliver by words. I cannot tell others how gentlemy love is; how desperate my loneliness is; my enjoyable happiness is; howdepressive my miseries is; how ridiculous my death is. I have no choice but tohide then deeply in my heart. All what I said and wrote but the product ofthinking, while thinking, to some extend, is a kind of escape which from theparticular to general, fate to life and the abyss of silence to the bank oflanguage. If they have not become

pure/solely and abstract idea, it is merelybecause they have newly struggled out from the silence and with something hardto tell in their bodies.

Iam not to deny the possibility of communication between human beings, but

thecondition. It is silence, instead of words. 美特林克had an excellent explanation: the nature of silence tells the nature of one’ssoul. There is no any words may have a possibility to make a communicationbetween their soul if the two cannot share the same silence. To those who havenot solved the same questions in silence, even profound philosophy is only somepolite formulas. In fact, those superficial reader have no ability to identifythe profound philosophy and abstract thoughts, proverb and polite formulas,philosophy and 老生常谈, insipid/prosaic and commonplace,the knowledge of Buddha dharma and deceitful trick. One’s ability in wordscomprehension is based on his understanding to silence and eternally based onhis silence; that is his capacity of soul. Therefore, I insist that the lessonof one who is determined to seek the life philosophy is silence----to face hisimportant problem of sale in silence. Until he has enough accumulation and tootires to bear, all windows opened to him. This is the way that he not onlyunderstands the limited words, but also the unlimited information behind thesilence of words.

The bulging belly fox

A hungry Fox found in a hollow tree a quantity of bread and meat, which some shepherds had placed there against their return. Delighted with his find he slipped in through the narrow aperture and greedily devoured it all. But when he tried to get out again he found himself so swollen after his big meal that he could not squeeze through the hole, and fell to whining and groaning over his misfortune. Another Fox, happening to pass that way, came and asked him what the matter was; and, on learning the state of the case, said, “Well, my friend, I see nothing for it but for you to stay where you are till you shrink to your former size; you’ll get out then easily enough.”

胀肚的狐狸

饥饿的狐狸在一棵中空的树干中发现了一些牧羊人存留的面包和肉。高兴之余，他立即通过那狭窄的缝隙挤进去，贪婪的大吃起来。然而，当他吃饱之后，却发现自己的肚子胀鼓鼓的，即便费了九牛二虎之力，却怎么也钻不出那个洞来，便在树洞里唉声叹气。另一只狐狸恰巧经过那里，听到他的呻吟，便过去问他原因。听明白缘由后，那只狐狸便说道：“我的朋友，你就老老实实待在里边吧，等到恢复了钻进去之前的身材，你就能轻松地出来了。”

窗外的红棉早已颤颤地绽开了。平行的时空，总有属于红棉的那一片天。

风在轻轻地吹拂着，枝条也随之摇曳着。爱像是一阵风儿，把蒲公英飘絮的种子带到悬崖边上去，带到远方去。孕育生命的种子在黑暗中针扎着。

清晨，彻夜的天空中露出一丝的光。那光笼罩了一切。我背起沉重的书包走下楼梯，其时楼梯间的灯已经熄灭了。每当我走到三楼的时候，总有一束光，为路过的人照明，而这一束光在依稀的清晨中显得特别的耀眼。

小区里居住了许多老人。而这些老人总喜欢坐在小区花园的大榕树下乘凉，在那有说有笑。似乎生活得很自足，闲适。

三楼的那位住户是一位老奶奶。我发现每当清晨或傍晚的时候，她总会把她家门前的灯打开。一束光射下来，夹杂着灰尘的舞动，我似乎透过这一束光，看到了些什么。

这是一个清晨，太阳公公伸了个懒腰，从云层里走了出来。霎时，阳光洒满了大地，也把爱洒满了大地。那盏灯还亮着。

一次，我在家里正写着作业。忽然，有人在敲打着我家的房门。我打开门一看，原来是哪位奶奶。她问我，可不可以帮她开一下电视机，不知道是哪里出了问题。她说她的儿子出去了，只剩她一个人，想看电视打发一下时间。谁知电视机出了问题。还在一旁不停地唠叨着……人与人之间的帮助，也就是一份爱。

也许，一份真诚的关心就是一份爱。

也许，一个不经意的举动就是一份爱。

也许，一句友好的问候就是一份爱。

物是人非，时过境迁，但一份在身边的爱是不会随着时间消逝的。那一份爱，在你我身边。

Helen Keller once wrote about these early days.

One beautiful spring morning I was alone in my room, reading. Suddenly a wonderful smell in the air made me get up and put out my hands . The spirit of spring seemed to be passing in my room. "What is it?"I asked. The next minute I knew it was coming from mimosa tree outside. I walked outside to the edge of the garden, toward the tree. There it was, shaking in the warm sunshine. Its long branches, so heavy with flowers, almost touched the ground. I walked through the flowers to the tree itself and then just stood silent. Then I put my foot on the tree and pulled myself up into it. I climbed higher and higher until I reached a little seat. Long ago someone had put it there. I sat for a long time... Nothing in all the world was like this.

Later Helen learned that nature could be cruel as well as beautiful. Strangely enough she discovery this in a different kind of tree.

One day my teacher and I were returning from a long walk. It was a fine morning but it started to get warm and heavy. We stopped to rest two or three times. Our last stop was under a cherry tree, a short way from our house. The shade was nice and the tree was easy to climb. Miss Sullivan climbed with me. It was so coot up in the tree, we decided to have lunch there. I promised to sit still until she went to the house for some food. Suddenly a change came over the tree. I knew the sky was black because all the heat which meant light to me had died out of the air. A strange odor came up to me from the earth . I knew it. It was the odor which always comes before a thunder storm. I felt alone, cut off from friends, high above the firm earth. I was frightened and wanted my teacher. wanted to get down from that tree quickly, but I was no help to myself. There was a moment of terrible silence. Then a sudden and violent wind began to shake the tree and its leaves kept coming down all around me. I almost fell. I wanted to jump, but was afraid to do so. I tried to make myself small in the tree as the branches rubbed against me. Just us I thought that both the tree and I were going to fall, a hand touched me . It was my teacher. I held her with all my strength, then shook with joy to feel the solid earth under my feet.

Miss Sullivan stayed with Helen for many year. She taught Helen how to read, how to write and how to speak. She helped her to get ready for school and college. More than anything, Helen wanted to do what others did, and do it just as well. In time Helen did go to college and completed her studies with high honors. But it was a hard struggle. Few of the books she needed were written in the Braille language that the blind could read by touching pages. Miss Sullivan and others had to teach her what was in these books by forming words in her hands. The study of geometry and physics was especially difficult. Helen could only learn about squares, triangles and other geometrical forms by making them with wires. She kept feeling the different shapes of these wires until she could see them in her mind.

During her second year college Miss Keller wrote the story of her life and what a college meant to her. This is what she wrote.

My first day at Radcliffe college was of great interest. Some powerful force inside me made me test my mind. I wanted to learn if it was as good as that of others. I learned many things at college. One thing I slowly learned was that knowledge does not just mean power, as some people say. Knowledge leads to happiness because to have it is to know what is true and real. To know what great man of the past had thought, said, and done is to feel the heartbeat of humanity down through the ages.

All of Helen Kellers knowledge reached her mind through her sense of touch and smell, and of course her feelings. To know a flower was to touch it, feel it and smell it. This sense of touch became greatly developed as she got older. She once said that hands speak almost as loudly as words. She said the touch of some hands frightened her. The people seemed so empty of joy that when she touched their cold fingers it is as if she were shaking bands with a storm. She found the hands of others full of sunshine and warmth. Strangely enough Helen Keller learned to love things she could not hear, music for example. She did this through her sense of touch. When waves of air beat against her, she felt them. Sometimes she put her hand to a singers throat. She often stood for hours with her hands on a piano while it was played. Once she listened to an organ. Its powerful songs made her moved her body in rhythm with the music. She also liked to go to museums. She thought she understood sculptures as well as others. Her fingers told her the true size and the feel of the material.

What did Helen Keller think of herself, what did she think about the tragic lost of her sight and hearing. This is what she wrote as a young girl.

Sometimes a sense of loneliness covers me like a cold mist. I sit alone, and wait at life s shut-door. Beyond there is light and music and sweet friendship. But I may not enter. Silence sits heavy upon my soul. Then comes hope with a sweet smile and said

softly " There is joy in forgetting oneself And so I tried to make the light in others eyes my sun, the music in others ears my symphony, the smile on others lips my happiness.

Helen Keller was tall and strong. When she spoke, her face looked very alive. It helped to give meaning to her words. She often felt the faces of close friends when she was talking to them to discover their feelings. She and Miss Sullivan both were known for their sense of humor. They enjoyed jokes and laughing at funny things that happened to themselves or others. Helen Keller had to work hard to support herself after she finished college. She spoke to many groups around the country. She wrote several books and she made one movie based on her life. Her main goal was to increase public interest in the difficulties of people with physical problems. The work Helen Keller and Anne Sullivan did has been written and talked about for many years. Their success showed how people can conquer great difficulties. Anne Sullivan died in 1936, blind herself. Before Miss Sullivan died, Helen wrote and said many kind things about her.

It was the genius of my teacher, her sympathy, her love which made my first years of education so beautiful. My teacher is so near to me that I do not think of myself as a part from her. All the best of me belongs to her. Everything I am today was awakened by her loving touch .

Helen Keller died on June 1st, 1968. She was 87 year old. Her message of courage and hope remains.

A man of the state of Zheng wanted to buy a pair of shoes.

从前，郑国有个人想买双鞋。

He measured his foot and put the measurement on a chair.

他量好了自己脚的尺码，把它放在了椅子上。

When he set out for the market,he forgot to bring it along.

可当他赶往市集时，却忘了带量好的尺码。

It was after he had found the pair he wanted that this occurred to him.

他要买鞋时，才想了起来。

"I forgot the measurement", said he.

他说：“我忘带尺码了。”

He went home to get it. But when he returned, the market had closed and he did not get his shoes after all.

他回家去取量好的尺码。等他赶回来时，市集已经关了，他还是没能买到鞋。

"Why didnt you try on the shoes with your feet?" He was asked.

有人问：“为什么不用你自己的脚去试一试鞋子呢?”

"Id rather trust the measurement than trust myself."

他说：“我宁愿相信尺码也不相信我自己的脚。”

有一位父亲，小时曾被溺过一次，生性怕水，在河边多站一会儿也会感到头晕，更不必说下水捉鱼了。然而，傍晚我经过家乡的小水库时，却发现他正拿着渔网，在过腰深的水里，正忙乎着把那一条条亮闪闪的河鱼丢入岸边的水桶里，没有丝毫惧水的神色，令我大生奇怪。过了一会儿，他涉上岸来，我意外地发现，只见他黝黑的腰上，一条粗大的纤绳竟紧紧地系在上面，它的另一头则系在岸边的松树上。我惊讶地问：“以前没见过你下河，你今天怎么敢下水捉鱼了?”他说：“儿子正准备参加升学考试，听人说吃了这些没污染的鱼儿特别提神补脑，所以捉些炖了给他吃……”

很久以前就听过这样一个故事：在一次地震时，只有弱不禁风的母亲和女儿在家，在摇摇欲坠的瓦房里，逃生的门口眼看就要塌了下来。在这千钧一发之际，瘦小的母亲双手稳稳地托住了即将塌下的门框，让女儿安然地逃了出去……

我想起了妻子，有一次我适逢出差，小女深夜发烧，平时夜不出户的妻子，打着手电背着女儿，一步步地往镇卫生院赶……

面对这些，我总会不停地想：爱是什么?奉献?付出?也许都没有错。但我总觉得，除了这些，天下父母对儿女的爱还有一个共同的特点，那就是神奇的勇敢。

Ji Anlived at the time of Emperor Wudi of the Western Han Dynasty (206 B.C.-A.D.24). He was respected for being upright and just and for daring to speak the truth. He did not bother about amall matters in personal behaviour and in being an official. He was particular about actual effects and ,although he did not cause a stir ,he could keep the prefecture he governed in perfect order. Because of this. the imperial court transferred him to the central government from being the perfect of the Donghai Prefecture to being a commander in charge of the appointment and dismissal of the local officals.

Once,Emperor Wudi said that he would implement the policy of benevolence and justice of Confucianism and would do good turns to the people.Emperor Wudi Had hardly finished his remards when Ji An said that there was no need for the emperor to say so.Why should the emperor bother,Ji An said, about pretending to implement the policy of benevolence and justice since he was so greedy and avaricious within himself? This choked the emperor off. The emperor suddenly Changed his countenance and declared the meeting over. All the civilian and military officers at court were breathless with anxiety for fear that Ji An might bring disaster upon himself because of this. After returning, Emperor Wudi said to the people around him that Ji An was a little too rude and too straightforward.

For this reason ,Ji An was never promoted again. When he was the commander in charge of the appointment and dismissal of the local officials, both Gongsun Hong and Zhang Tang were low -ranking lfficials of little importance. Later ,they were promoted continuously. Gongsun Hong became the prime minister and Zhang Tang became the imperial censor. However, JiAns post remained thesame. One day, Ji An said to Emperor Wudi that the way the emperor used his ministers was just like piling up firewood, which meant that the latecomers surpassed the old-timers. Of course, Emperor Wudi could see that Ji An was complaining. So,turning to his ministers, Emperor Wudi said, "It is true that no one can stop learning.You see, Ji An is making more and more indiscreet remarks."

This story comes from The Historical Records. Later generations use the set phrase "the latecomers surpass the old-timers " to indicate that successors can cxcel the predecessors, which is quite different from the original idea when Ji An said that the latecomers surpassed the old-timers.

汲黯是西汉武帝时代人，以刚直正义、敢讲真话而受人尊重。他为人和做官都不拘小节，讲求实效。虽然表面上不那么轰轰烈烈，却能把一个郡治理得井井有条，因此，朝廷把他从东海太守调到朝廷当主爵都尉——一种主管地方吏任免的官职。

有一次，汉武帝说要实行儒家的仁义之政，为老百姓办好事了。没等皇帝把话说完，汲黯就说：“陛下内心里那么贪婪多欲，表面上却要装得实行仁政，这是何苦呢？”一句话把皇帝噎了回去。汉武帝登时脸色大变，宣布罢朝，满朝文武都为汲黯捏着一把汗，担心他会因此招来大祸。武帝回到宫里以后，对身边的人说，汲黯这个人也未免太粗太直了。

从此以后，汲黯的官职再也没有提升。他当主爵都尉的时候，公孙弘、张汤都还是不起眼的小官，后来，他们一个劲儿住上升，公孙弘当上了丞相，张汤做上了御史大夫，可他汲黯还蹲在原地没动窝。有一天，汲黯对武帝说，陛下使用群臣，跟码劈柴一样，是“后来者居上”啊！汉武帝当然听得出这是发牢骚。于是，转脸对臣下们说：“人真是不能不学习啊！你们听汲黯说话，越来越离谱了！”

故事出自《史记汲郑列传》。成语“后来居上”，往往指后起的可以胜过先前的。和汲黯说这话的原意，大不相同。
