Lion was awakened from sleep by a Mouse running over his face. Rising up in anger, he caught him and was about to kill him, when the Mouse piteously entreated, saying: "If you would only spare my life, I would be sure to repay your kindness." The Lion laughed and let him go.

It happened shortly after this that the Lion was caught by some hunters, who bound him by strong ropes to the ground. The Mouse, recognizing his roar, came up, and gnawed the rope with his teeth, and setting him free, exclaimed: "You ridiculed the idea of my ever being able to help you, not expecting to receive from me any repayment of your favour; but now you know that it is possible for even a Mouse to confer benefits on a Lion."

雄鹰

A boy found an eagles egg and he put it in the nest of a prairie chicken. The eagle hatched and thought he was a chicken. He grew up doing what prairie chicken do-scratching at the dirt for food and flying short distances with a noisy fluttering of wings. It was a dreary life. Gradually the eagle grew older and bitter. One day he and his prairie chicken friend saw a beautiful bird soaring on the currents of air, high above the mountains.

"Oh, I wish I could fly like that!" said the eagle. The chicken replied, "Dont give it another thought. Thats the mighty eagle, the king of all birds-you could never be like him!" And the eagle didnt give it another thought. He went on cackling and complaining about life. He died thinking he was a prairie chicken. My friends, you too were born an eagle. The Creator intended you to be an eagle, so don’t listen to the prairie chickens!

“哦，我要能飞的那么高该多好啊！”鹰说。山鸡回答说，“不要想了，那是凶猛无比的鹰，鸟中之王---你不可能像他一样！”于是鹰放弃了那个念头。他继续咯咯地叫，不停的抱怨生活。最后他死了，依然认为自己是一只山鸡。朋友们，你们天生就是雄鹰。造物主有意把你造就成一只雄鹰，所以不要听信山鸡的话！

裴斯泰洛齐(Johan Heinrich Pestalozzi，1746--1827)是19世纪瑞士著名的民主主义教育家。他热爱教育事业的奉献精神，对教育革新的执着追求，在教育理论上许多独创的论述，不仅为世界教育发展作出了重要贡献，而且为一切教育工作者树立了一个令人十分崇敬的形象。

早年受卢梭教育思想的影响，放弃神学研究，38岁开始从事一项教育贫苦儿童的计划，让学童一面纺织一面学习，以培养他们的自立能力。他深信每个人都有与生俱来的发展机能和受教育的平等权利。这项计划最后终于失败了，只是取得了一些宝贵的经验。由于自己的理想无法实现，他就转而从事写作。

1798的，瑞士爆发了资产阶级革命，建立了海尔维第(瑞士)共和国。在斯坦兹城，由于贵族和天主教教士的煽动，爆发了农民暴动，政府从法国借兵进行镇压，受到顽强抵抗。法军大肆烧杀，祸及无辜，斯坦兹城遭到了空前的浩劫，留下了111个老人和169个孤儿，还有237个儿童无家可归。

新政府决定在斯坦兹成立孤儿院，裴斯泰洛齐谢绝了友人所荐的高官厚禄，于12月5日毅然接受了政府的委托，负责孤儿院工作。当时他很兴奋，说道：“我为实现我一生的梦想，不惜牺牲一切，我的热情达到了那样的程度，几乎可以说：只要让我开始工作，即使在阿尔卑斯山的最高峰上，没有火、没有水的地方，都是可以的。”

裴斯泰洛齐到斯坦兹以后，把修道院改成孤儿院，收容了80个(此数由政府规定)孤儿，这些孤儿“大部分患有严重的疥癣，无法行走，头上长满溃烂的脓疮，身上穿着生满虱子的破烂衣服。个个面黄肌瘦，牙齿暴露，深锁愁眉，并以猜疑的目光望着人。头额上的皱纹充分表现了他们饱经忧患与疑虑的生涯。有的养成虚伪等恶习，难以纠正;有的受悲惨环境的折磨，虽然表面意志坚定，却猜疑、冷酷、胆怯……;懂得ABC的，十个中无法找到一个。”面对贫儿的这般境况，一般人早就会望而却步;裴斯泰洛齐却迎难而上，一心扑在了工作上。

除雇用一名妇女做饭以外，裴斯泰洛齐承担了孤儿院的一切工作。象慈父一样，他以极大的耐心和高度的责任感，把整个心灵献给了孤儿。他说;“从早到晚我一直生活在他们中间……，我的手牵着他们的手，我的眼睛注视着他们的眼睛，我随着他们流泪而流泪，随着他们微笑而微笑，他们不知有世界、有斯坦兹，只知道跟我形影不离。他们的饮食就是我的饮食。我没有家园、没有朋友、没有仆人，只有他们……，晚上我最后一个就寝，睡在他们中间，陪他们祈祷、读书，一直到他们睡着;早上我最早起床，替他们换洗脏衣服，并给他们洗涤身上的污垢。”

这位慈父以孤儿院为家，视孤儿们为亲儿子，在这个大家庭里，他充分发扬民主，培养孤儿们的道德习惯，并提高他们读、写、算的能力。

战乱再次降临了。1799年6月8日孤儿院被迫关闭(被法军征为野战医院)。裴斯泰洛齐为此声泪俱下，但无济于事。他因伤心与劳累过度，以致吐血。

裴斯泰洛齐在功成名就、成为世界名人之时，竟不顾高官厚禄的诱惑，以其崇高的品质，把整个心灵和爱心都献给了孤儿，为贫民的教育事业呕心沥血，这种无私的情怀，这种伟大的精神是常人无法理解的。

In this dark and lonely world, however, she learned to read and speak for her mentor, Anne Sullivan, and began to communicate with others. He graduated from Radcliffe college with honors and became a famous writer and educator with five languages of English, French, German, Latin and Greek. She travels through the United States and around the world, raising money for blind schools and dedicating her life to the blind welfare and the education career. She has won praise from all over the world and has been honoured by many national governments.

She groped her way up in the dark. At the age of seven, the family hired a tutor for her, the teacher who influenced Helens life. Sullivan was almost blind as a child and understood the pain of loss of light. Under the guidance of her hard work, Helen learned to learn sign language by hand touch, she learned to read by touch, then she touched others lips and finally learned to speak.

Miss Sullivan, in order to bring Helen to nature, let her roll on the grass, run and jump in the fields, sow seeds in the fields, and climb trees to eat. Take her to touch the newborn pig, also to the river to play water. Under the care of her teacher, Helen overcame blindness and deafness and completed her college education.

So Helen traveled all over the United States in large and small cities, traveling around the world, working for people with disabilities, and working for those who were unhappy.

In 1968, Helen died at the age of 89, and she devoted all her life to the service of disabled people throughout the world. She wrote a lot of books and her story was made into a movie. Miss Sullivan gave her the most precious love, and she spread love to all the unfortunate people, giving them light and hope.

In addition, my life story, which is included in this book, is Helen Kellers autobiographical work, which is honored as "the greatest masterpiece in world literature history".

March 3, 1887, it was a very important day for Helen. On this day, she was brought in by a teacher, miss Anne Sullivan. Annie taught her to write and sign language. "No one can imagine how surprised and happy I am," said Mr. Yannagno of the boggins blind school, when he read a letter of the French letter with a look of surprise. For I believe in her ability, but also difficult to believe that her 3 months of learning is such good results, in the United States, other people to achieve this level, have to spend time in a year." Helen was nine years old

In the summer of 1894, Helen attended the American association for the advancement of deaf people, and was arranged to attend the school of the deaf in New York City, studying mathematics, nature, French, and German. Within a few months she could converse freely in German; In less than a year, she had finished her German work, William tell. Teachers who teach French do not understand sign language and have to be dictated. In spite of this, Helen soon mastered French and read the novel "the forced doctor" twice. During her time in New York, Helen got to know many friends of the literary world. Mark Twain read her wonderful short stories for her, and they established a sincere friendship. In her quiet home on the Merrimac river, Dr. Holmes read the poems of rouse bean, and when she read the last two pages, holmes placed a statue of a slave in her hand. "She was the emancipator of your mind," holmes told Helen. The doctor was referring to miss Anne. Helens heart was filled with excitement, the worlds beautiful thoughts, deep love, and solid pursuit, all like spring seeds deeply implanted in the heart. Helen confidently said, "Im going to college someday! Im going to harvard!" The day finally came. Harvard Universitys Radcliffe womens college has arranged her entrance exams in a special way. She used her hand to touch the raised braille, and then answered the question with a typewriter. Nine hours before and after, all subjects passed, English and German were the best grades, Helen started college with a keen heart.

In June 1904, Helen graduated from Radcliffe with honors. Two years later, she was appointed chairman of the Massachusetts blind committee and began a social work for the blind. She received the visiting blind people every day, and returned the same letters. Later on, she toured the country, traveling for the promotion of blind blind education plans and treatment plans. By 1921, the American foundation for the blind was finally founded. Helen, one of the groups leaders, has been working hard to strengthen the foundations work. In her busy work, she never put down her pen and finished 14 books successively. "The story of my life", "the song of the stone wall" "out of the dark," "optimism" and so on, all have a worldwide impact. Helens last work was the teacher, she has to collect the book notes and letters of 20 years, and all this and three-quarters of the manuscripts were burned in a fire, burn and braille library, along with their exquisite craft gifts from all over the world. If another person might be disheartened, but Helen felt more determined to finish it, and she sat quietly before the typewriter, and began to trudge again and again. Ten years later, Helen finished her book. She was relieved that the book was a gift to her teacher, and the teacher Anne was very proud of it.

On November 15, 1956, erect perkins the blind school in the United States on a plaque at the entrance of the curtain, with trembling hands, unveiled by Helen, it read: Helen Keller and Anne Su Liwen · wheat west. This is not a common plaque, but for those who have written a prominent chapter in the history of human civilization. Indeed, Helen has dedicated her life to the welfare of the blind and the cause of the education, which has earned the respect of people all over the world, and the United Nations has launched the "Helen Keller" world campaign. On June 1, 1968, Helen Keller, a deaf and blind scholar, writer, educator, who wrote the history of human civilization, passed away in flowers. However, her indomitable fighting spirit, her legendary life, but always in the history, just as the famous writer Mark Twain said: "in the 19th century appeared two great figures, one is napoleon, one is Helen Keller."

海伦·凯勒是美国盲聋哑女作家和残障教育家。1880年6月27日出生于亚拉巴马州北部一个叫塔斯喀姆比亚的城镇。她在19个月的时候因猩红热夺去了她的视力和听力，接着，她又丧失了语言表达能力。然而就在这黑暗而又寂寞的世界里，她因为她的导师安妮·沙利文的努力，使她学会读书和说话，并开始和其他人沟通。而且以优异的成绩毕业于美国拉德克利夫学院，成为一个学识渊博，掌握英、法、德、拉丁、希腊五种文字的著名作家和教育家。她走遍美国和世界各地，为盲人学校募集资金，把自己的一生献给了盲人福利和教育事业。她赢得了世界各国人民的赞扬，并得到许多国家政府的嘉奖。主要作品有《假如给我三天光明》、《我的生活》、《我的老师》等。海伦·凯勒一生一共写了14部著作。

海伦·凯勒自幼因病成为盲聋哑人，但她自强不息，克服巨大困难读完大学。一生写了十几部作品，同时致力于救助伤残儿童，保护妇女权益和争取种族平等的社会活动。1964年获得总统自由勋章。

她在黑暗中摸索着长大。七岁那一年，家里为她请了一位家庭教师，也就是影响海伦一生的沙利文老师。沙利文在小时候眼睛也差点失明，了解失去光明的痛苦。在她辛苦的指导下，海伦用手触摸学会手语，摸点字卡学会了读书，后来用手摸别人的嘴唇，终于学会说话了。

沙利文老师为了让海伦接近大自然，让她在草地上打滚，在田野跑跑跳跳，在地里埋下种子，爬到树上吃饭;还带她去摸一摸刚出生的小猪，也到河边去玩水。海伦在老师爱的关怀下，竟然克服失明与失聪的障碍，完成了大学学业。

1936年，和她朝夕相处五十年的老师离开人间，海伦非常的伤心。海伦知道，如果没有老师的爱，就没有今天的她，决心要把老师给她的爱发扬光大。于是，海伦跑遍美国大大小小的城市，周游世界，为残障的人到处奔走，全心全力为那些不幸的人服务。

1968年，海伦89岁去世，她把所有终生致力服务残障人士的事迹，传遍全世界。她写了很多书，她的故事还拍成了电影。沙利文老师把最珍贵的爱给了她，她又把爱散播给所有不幸的人，带给他们光明和希望。

死后，因为她坚强的意志和卓越的贡献感动了全世界.并且各地人民都开展了纪念她的活动

《假如给我三天光明》是海伦·凯勒的散文代表作，她以一个身残志坚的柔弱女子的视角，告诫身体健全的人们应珍惜生命，珍惜造物主赐予的一切。此外，本书中收录的《我的人生故事》是海伦·凯勒的本自传性作品，被誉为“世界文学史上无与伦比的杰作”。

1887年3月3日，对海伦来说这是个极重要的日子。这一天，家里为她请来了一位教师——安妮·沙莉文小姐。安妮教会她写字、手语。当波金斯盲人学校的亚纳格诺先生以惊讶的神情读到一封海伦完整地道的法文信后，这样写道：“谁也难以想象我是多么地惊奇和喜悦。对于她的能力我素来深信不疑，可也难以相信，她3个月的学习就取得这么好的成绩，在美国，别的人要达到这程度，就得花一年工夫。”这时，海伦才9岁

1894年夏天，海伦出席了美国聋人语言教学促进会，并被安排到纽约赫马森聋人学校上学，学习数学、自然、法语、德语。没过几个月，她便可以自如地用德语交谈;不到一年，她便读完了德文作品《威廉·退尔》。教法语的教师不懂手语字母，不得不进行口授;尽管这样，海伦还是很快掌握了法语，并把小说《被强迫的医生》读了两遍。在纽约期间，海伦结识了文学界的许多朋友。马克·吐温为她朗读自己的精彩短篇小说，他们建立了真挚友谊。霍姆斯博士在梅里迈克河边幽静的家里为她读《劳斯·豆》诗集，当读到最后两页时，霍姆斯把一个奴隶塑像放在她手中。这个蹲着的奴隶身上的锁链正好掉落下来，霍姆斯对海伦说：“她是你思想的解放者。”博士指的是安妮小姐。海伦的心中一阵激动，人世间美好的思想情操，隽永深沉的爱心，以及踏踏实实的追求，都像春天的种子深深植入心田。海伦从小便自信地说：“有朝一日，我要上大学读书!我要去哈佛大学!”这一天终于来了。哈佛大学拉德克利夫女子学院以特殊方式安排她入学考试。只见她用手在凸起的盲文上熟练地摸来摸去，然后用打字机回答问题。前后9个小时，各科全部通过，英文和德文还得了优等成绩，海伦怀着热切的心情开始了大学生活。

1904年6月，海伦以优异的成绩从拉德克里夫学院毕业。两年后，她被任命为麻萨诸塞州盲人委员会主席，开始了为盲人服务的社会工作。她每天都接待来访的盲人，还要回复雪片一样飞来的信件。后来，她又在全美巡回演讲，为促进实施聋盲人教育计划和治疗计划而奔波。到了1921年，终于成立了美国盲人基金会民间组织。海伦是这个组织的领导人之一，她一直为加强基金会的工作而努力。在繁忙的工作中，她始终没有放下手中的笔，先后完成了14部著作。《我生活的故事》《石墙之歌》《走出黑暗》《乐观》等，都产生了世界范围的影响。海伦的最后一部作品是《老师》，她曾为这本书搜集了20年的笔记和信件，而这一切和四分之三的文稿却都在一场火灾中烧毁，连同它们一起烧掉的还有布莱叶文图书室、各国赠送的精巧工艺礼品。如果换一个人也许心灰意冷，可海伦痛定思痛，更加坚定了完成它的决心，她不声不响地坐到了打字机前，开始了又一次艰难的跋涉。10年之后，海伦完成了书稿。她很欣慰，这本书是献给安妮老师的一份厚礼，老师安妮也为此而感到无比骄傲。

1956年11月15日，竖立在美国波金斯盲童学校入口处的一块匾额上的幕布，由海伦用颤抖的手揭开了，上面写着：纪念海伦·凯勒和安妮·苏莉文·麦西。这不是一块普通的匾额，而是为那些在人类文明史上写下了突出篇章的人们所设立的。的确，海伦把一生献给了盲人福利和教育事业，赢得了全世界人民的尊敬，联合国还曾发起“海伦·凯勒”世界运动。1968年6月1日，海伦·凯勒——这位谱写出人类文明史上辉煌生命赞歌的聋哑盲学者、作家、教育家，在鲜花包围中告别了人世。然而，她那不屈不挠的奋斗精神，她那带有传奇色彩的一生，却永远载入了史册，正如著名作家马克·吐温所言：“19世纪出现了两个了不起的人物，一个是拿破仑，一个就是海伦·凯勒。”

今天，我和妈妈还有葫芦丝学员来到了康平托老院参加一次慈善的活动。

我们来到托老院，看见了许多孤独的老人，他们有些是身体上残疾，有的嘴巴歪了，口水流不停，有的半边身体不能动，还有的是精神不正常，总是笑个不停。我想这些爷爷奶奶是多么地需要我们的关爱和体贴，我们要帮助爷爷奶奶，让他们不那么孤单。

我和妈妈正在喝水，突然，我看到一位老爷爷想要坐到椅子上，可是，他不能走，手也不能动，我马上跑过去，一边推着轮椅车，一边对老爷爷说：“老爷爷，您的家人呢?”年迈的老爷爷干哑地说：“他们不会来看我了。”我真替老爷爷感到伤心，我来到椅子旁，小心翼翼地扶着老爷爷，让他坐下，他跟我说了谢谢，我情不自禁地跑过去，拥抱老爷爷，老爷爷感动得都说不出话来，这是他有生以来最开心的一天。

我相信只要人人都献出一点爱，老人们将变得不再孤单。

1991年,查连敏快要师范毕业了,父亲对她说:“小敏,我们关山条件不好,教师不愿来,爸爸也老了,你毕业后,就回来帮爸爸一把吧!”父亲那求助的目光令她阵阵揪心——关山太艰苦了,十年寒窗苦读,目的就是冲出关山“远走高飞”,而现在父亲却要把自己召回关山,这可怎么办呀?

毕业后,查连敏被分配到万峰湖镇中心小学。这里无论教学环境还是生活条件,都比关山强百倍。但是父亲的哀求,她又如何拒绝?她揣着到镇中心小学的报到证,心事重重地走在回村的山路上。此时,一个个与她父亲有关的画面从她眼前闪过——

父亲不分白天黑夜,发疯似的平整地基,筑窑烧砖,砍自家的树木建校,几次晕倒在工地上……在昏暗的油灯下,父亲一笔一划地为没钱买课本的孩子誊写课文,至今已整整二十年了,皱纹爬上了他的眼角和额头,粉笔灰染白了他的青丝,却依然是那么执著……

“爸爸呀!你在山里搭上了一辈子,难道还要女儿再搭一辈子吗?”查连敏走在崎岖的山路上,一遍又一遍地喃喃自语,走一程泪水洒了一程……山风迎面袭来,她一咬牙,将报到证撕成碎片,扔下深深的山谷……

9月1日,查连敏和父亲到镇上背来了学生的课本和作业本,便开始了她的教学生涯。她的父亲多年的苦心耕耘,已使本村儿童基本入学,但关山挡住的坡桑、六郎、大山等布依村寨,由于“重男轻女”的历史原因,村民们都不愿送女孩念书。查连敏第一次走上讲台,望着台下清一色的男孩子,她感到有些失落和心痛。

9月2日,查连敏翻山越岭走村串户动员女童入学。查连敏迎着晨曦出门,翻了几个山头,来到了坡桑村张仕靖家,那间简陋的窝棚里,挤着大大小小从8岁到12岁的3个女孩,她们都没有上过学。查连敏到地里问孩子们的母亲:“怎么不送孩子上学呢?”对方回答说:“你看这家里还能供她们上学吗?能保住她们的哥哥上学就算不错了!长大后就嫁出去了。”查连敏说:“让她们去上学吧,我不收杂费,书钱我给她们掏,不读书怎么能行?”临走时她又对三个女孩说:“你们明天就去上学啊!”

第二天凌晨5点钟左右,查连敏还没起床,就听见院子里有孩子叽叽喳喳的说话声。她开门一看,门口挤在一团的是张仕靖的3个女儿。看见查连敏,年龄最大的张美怯生生地问:“老师,我们是来上学的,你要我们吗?”原来,她们家没有钟表,怕上学迟到,几个孩子天没亮就起床赶来了。望着眼前求学心切的3个孩子,查连敏的心里非常感动,她抚摸着孩子们被山风吹得蓬乱的头发说:“老师全都收下了!”孩子们欢呼起来。

开学了,白天要上课,查连敏劝学只能在晚上了。去劝学的山路在深山老林里蜿蜒,几里没有人烟,夜里常有各种野兽出没,查连敏一路上走得胆战心惊……每晚劝学回来,全身的衣服都被汗水打湿了。

查连敏的父亲看到女儿晚上在山里来来去去,实在放心不下,提出与她一道前往。却被查连敏拒绝了:“你年纪大了,加上眼睛不好,女儿一人去就行了。”深夜,为给正在路上的女儿壮胆,父亲干脆出门接应,“唉嗨,唉嗨”地对着大山大声地喊,喊山声如天籁之音在群山里回荡……

历经四十多个晚上的艰辛劝学,查连敏共劝回失学女孩51人。可是,有三十多名学生家离学校太远,每天早上上学要打着火把走两三个小时的山路,这实在是苦了这群八九岁的孩子,加上山路崎岖凶险,孩子们在上学的路上很不安全。查连敏和父亲商量后,腾出自家的三间屋子作宿舍,又砍了自家的树木做成木床,让孩子们在家里住宿,她的家顿时成了一个近四十口人的大家庭。

每天天没亮,查连敏就起床给孩子们生火做饭。上完课安排孩子们写作业,她又帮孩子们洗衣……查连敏简直成了三十多个孩子名副其实的“编外妈妈”。

熊和狐狸

一只熊在夸耀自己的仁慈，便说道：“所有的动物中，只有熊对人最仁爱，它很敬重人，连人的尸体，也不去碰一下。”

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。

一个青年扶着一位盲人走进办公室。我以为又是求助者来了，赶忙起身接待，让座之后，开始问他们有什么困难，需要哪些帮助，我们都会尽力的。

这名青年赶忙解释说，他不是来求助的，他是来捐助的。

啊!捐助?我几乎不敢相信自己的耳朵。这时，盲人哥哥说话了，“我是来捐款救助贫困高中学生的，每年捐助1000元给报纸上报道的那名叫李伟的困难学生。”说着，便从包里拿出一小沓钱来，一张一张地数，刚好1000元，他把钱交给我，并告诉我，只要那孩子好好学习，他一定会资助这孩子上大学的。

When a couple gets married, it is natural for them to receive wishes from

relatives and friends. Recently, a young couple showed the message of their

coming wedding, but the public criticized the man, because they believed he was

committing crime as he fell in love with a girl when she was 8 years old.

The man and the little girl’s story seems to be romantic. But thinking of

the girl’s young age when they met, and she was just a little girl, it is

unbelievable. Though now she is almost 18, their story worries so many parents.

They are so afraid of the negative information releases to the young children,

when they don’t know the concept of love. From 8 to 18, the girl’s growing

period is accompanied by this man who is much older than her, while I don’t

favor of this way.

The girl was misled by the wrong conception. Someone told her when she was

18, they would be married. As she is young and innocent, even she is 18, she

doesn’t have much chance to see the variety of the world. The way she sees the

world is misled by this elder man.

A child’s growing up should be natural and led by the right value.

The Christmas Tree——圣诞树的故事

Although it is generally agreed that the Christmas tree in its current form came from Germany in the early 19th century, the tradition of decorating a tree to mark winter celebrations dates back hundreds of years to Roman times, when they used to decorate evergreen trees with small pieces of metal to celebrate Saturnalia.

In medieval times the Paradise Play was performed every year on 24 December. This depicted the creation of Man and the fall of Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden and always included an evergreen hung with apples which represented the apple tree of temptation.

There is a legend that St Boniface, an English monk, came upon a group of pagans gathered around an oak tree who were preparing to sacrifice a child to the God Thor. In order to stop the sacrifice, and save the childs life, St Boniface is said to have felled the tree with one blow of his fist. Later on, a fir tree grew in place of the oak and this, St Boniface told the pagans, was the Tree of Life and represented the Christ Child.

Legend also suggests that, in the late 16th century, Martin Luther (the founder of the Protestant religion) was the first to decorate an indoor tree with candles when he attempted to recreate the stars shining over a forest of evergreens.

The first mention of decorated trees being taken indoors came in 1605 in Germany - a country with a long Christmas tree history! The trees were initially decorated with fruit and sweets together with hand made objects such as quilled snowflakes and stars. German Christmas Markets began to sell shaped gingerbreads and wax ornaments which people bought as souvenirs of the fair and took home to hang on their tree.

Tinsel was also invented in Germany in about 1610. Up until fairly recently real silver was used, which was pulled into wafer thin strips by special machines. This was durable but tarnished quickly and many experiments took place to try and find an alternative - including a mix of lead and tin, which was too heavy and kept breaking. It was only in the mid 20th century that a viable alternative was found.

Artificial trees were invented in the 1880s in a bid to try and stop some of the damage being caused to real trees due to people lopping the tip off large trees, thus preventing the trees from growing any further. It got so bad in Germany that laws had to be brought in to prevent people having more than one tree.

Prince Albert, husband of Queen Victoria, is credited with being responsible for introducing the custom of the Christmas tree to the British public by decorating the first English Christmas tree at Windsor Castle in 1841 using candles, sweets, fruit and gingerbread.

The popularity of the Christmas tree grew in Britain during the first half of the 20th century, with trees becoming bigger and more elaborately decorated with bells, baubles and tinsel. However, the onset of the Second World War resulted in a ban on cutting down trees for decoration and people resorted to having small, artificial tabletop trees bearing home made decorations. These were often taken down into the air raid shelters when the sirens sounded to provide a bit of Christmas cheer!

This all changed following the war, and large trees were erected in many public places to celebrate Christmas. The most famous of these is the tree in Trafalgar Square, London which is an annual gift from the Norwegian government to give thanks for the help they received from Britain during the war.
