In the English Reading Week, one of my classmates recommended a quote to us, which goes like this: “Your future depends on many things, but mostly on you.”

在英语阅读周，我的一个同学推荐了一个报价给我们，这是这样的：“你的未来取决于许多事情，但主要是在你。”

As far as I’m concerned, I completely agree with the view. Of course, our future depends on many things such as our living environment, opportunities, luck, others’ help and etc. But it is we ourselves that determine our future. Our positive attitude, our determination, our confidence and our sense of discipline are the keys to our future.

就我而言，我完全同意这一观点。当然，我们的未来取决于我们的生活环境、机会、运气、别人的帮助等，但我们自己决定了我们的未来。我们积极的态度、决心、信心和纪律是我们未来的关键。

Madame Curie was a good example to us. In her times, women were not admitted to university in her motherland, Poland, so she was forced to leave her homeland and studied in France. She often said: we should believe every one of us can do something and above all we should believe in ourselves. It was her confidence that made her discover radium and later win the Nobel Prize. So I firmly hold the belief that our future is in our hands.

居里夫人是我们的好榜样。在她的时代，妇女在她的祖国，波兰不承认，所以她被迫离开她的祖国，在法国学习。她常说：“我们应该相信我们每个人都能做些什么，首先我们应该相信自己。是她的信心，使她发现镭，后来赢得了诺贝尔奖。所以我坚信我们的未来是在我们手中。

In the busy city of New York, such an astonishing thing that ever happened.

On a Friday night, a poor young artist stood at the gate of the subway station, playing his violin. Though the music was great, people were quickly going home for the weekend. In this case, many of them slowed down their paces and put some money into the hat of the young man.

The next day, the young artist came to the gate of the subway station, and put his hat on the ground gracefully. Different than the day before, he took out a large piece of paper and laid it on the ground and put some stones on it. Then he adjusted the violin and began playing. It seemed more pleasant to listen to.

Before long, the young violinist was surrounded with people, who were all attracted by the words on that paper. It said, “Last night, a gentleman named George Sang put an important thing into my hat by mistaken. Please come to claim it soon.”

Seeing this, it caused a great excitement and people wondered what it could be. After about half an hour, a middle-aged man ran there in a hurry and rushed through the crowd to the violinist and grabbed his shoulders and said, “Yes, it’s you. You did come here. I knew that you’re an honest man and would certainly come here.”

The young violinist asked calmly, “Are you Mr. George Sang?”

The man nodded. The violinist asked, “Did you lose something?”

“Lottery. It’s lottery,” said the man.

The violinist took out a lottery ticket on which George Sang’s name was seen. “Is it?” he asked.

George nodded promptly and seized the lottery ticket and kissed it, then he danced with the violinist.

The story turned out to be this: George Sang is an office clerk. He bought a lottery ticket issued by a bank a few days ago. The awards opened yesterday and he won a prize of $500,000. So he felt very happy after work and felt the music was so wonderful, that he took out 50 dollars and put in the hat. However the lottery ticket was also thrown in. The violinist was a student at an Arts College and had planned to attend advanced studies in Vienna. He had booked the ticket and would fly that morning. However when he was cleaning up he found the lottery ticket. Thinking that the owner would return to look for it, he cancelled the flight and came back to where he was given the lottery ticket.

Later someone asked the violinist: “At that time you were in needed to pay the tuition fee and you had to play the violin in the subway station every day to make the money. Then why didn’t you take the lottery ticket for yourself?”

The violinist said, “Although I don’t have much money, I live happily; but if I lose honesty I won’t be happy forever.”

Through our lives, we can gain a lot and lose so much. But being honest should always be with us. If we bear ourselves in a deceptive and dishonest way, we may succeed temporarily. However, from the long-term view, we will be a loser. Such kind of people are just like the water on the mountain. It stands high above the masses at the beginning, but gradually it comes down inch by inch and loses the chance of going up.

[诚信的重要性英语作文

There is no exact definition of the word happiness. Happy people are happy for all sorts of reasons. The key is not wealth or physical well-being, since we find beggars, invalids and so-called failures, who are extremely happy.

Being happy is a sort of unexpected dividend. But staying happy is an accomplishment, a triumph of soul and character. It is not selfish to strive for it. It is, indeed, a duty to ourselves and others.

Being unhappy is like an infectious disease. It causes people to shrink away from the sufferer. He soon finds himself alone, miserable and embittered. There is, however, a cure so simple as to seem, at first glance, ridiculous; if you dont feel happy, pretend to be!

It works. Before long you will find that instead of repelling people, you attract them. You discover how deeply rewarding it is to be the center of wider and wider circles of good will.

Then the make-believe becomes a reality. You possess the secret of peace of mind, and can forget yourself in being of service to others.

Being happy, once it is realized as a duty and established as a habit, opens doors into unimaginable gardens thronged with grateful friends.

这是一部中国现代长篇小说，以祁家四世同堂的生活为主线，辅以小羊圈中各色人物的荣辱沉浮，一个陷落的城市深深的刻画在脑海中，它揭示了日本侵略者残酷的暴行，表现了安于现状的人们心灵的震撼起伏和普通民众通过反抗传达出来的浓浓的爱国之情。

漫长的八年，发生在小羊圈的人们身上、一切北平人身上、一切中国人民身上的困苦屈辱不幸死亡反抗斗争，使我更深切地了解了中华民族的那段历史，那些从历史教科书上获取的比较抽象空泛的认识，仿佛有了血肉，而激发出无比的责任感、爱国心;虽然没有正面去描写大规模的战争场面，却仍然能使人深刻地体会到战争给人类带来的无穷的灾难，这部书堪称得上是中国版的《战争与和平》。

说到《四世同堂》，就不得不提里面那些很具有代表性的汉奸形象。"汉奸"，这个在那个特定历史条件下的产物。他们只是目光短浅的爱财小人，为了财出卖了国家和自己的灵魂。他们风光，人们看着恨;但他们死，人们看着却不是想象中的痛快。"汉奸"是可悲的，因为没有了对国家的爱对自己的尊重，他们只是一些迷失了方向的可怜人。其实，他们因为日本人的到来而生，却没有因为日本人的撤离而亡，他们存活在很多人的潜质里，只是后来的社会不同了，"汉奸"不流行了，不流行并不代表就不再存在了。

钱默吟老先生是全书给我留下印象最深的人物，不知道为什么人们总是忽略书中如此坚强的一个老人。撇开他的政治观点不说，单单他的坚强勇敢，就足以是全书一抹不容忽视的风景。钱老是个有知识有文化懂事理的人，这在那个年代是个不可多得的革命战士。在全书缓慢的节奏中，钱默吟是一个紧凑的神秘的形象，俨然为书增加许多铿锵之力。中国正是因为有千千万万像钱先生这样的人，才终于站起来走向光明。

读《四世同堂》，我被中国文化和中国文人所震撼、所感染。北平沦陷，这朵民族之花就会变成木头，为了让这株文化古树长青，它的枝枝叶叶、它的每一条根，哪怕只是细细的一小条，都拼命的抗争，虽然这株古树历尽摧残，但是终于没有枯萎，多少炎黄子孙用生命之血浇灌它，留住了文化之根。

说到《水浒传》，大家一定都非常熟悉，它与《红楼梦》、《西游记》、《三国演义》并称为“四大名著”，由此可见《水浒传》的文学地位有多么地高。

《水浒传》是中国历第一篇用白话文写成的章回体小说，主要内容围绕着梁山泊的英雄好汉替天行道的故事。又被称为《忠义水浒传》，人们一般简称《水浒》，由施耐庵作于元末明初。全片讲述了北宋末年有不好的人当道、官逼民反，梁山泊英雄聚众起义的故事，再现了封建时代农民起义发生、发展到失败的全过程。塑造了宋江、卢俊义、吴用、林冲、武松等英雄好汉形象。

在《水浒传》中，梁山泊的好汉们对应天上的星魁，分为三十六天罡和七十六地煞。一百零八位好汉个个身怀绝技，每个人还有一个响亮的称号，例如：及时雨宋江、豹子头林冲、智多星吴用、扑天雕李应……

而在这一百零八个好汉中，我最欣赏的还是宋江。我觉得，宋江这个人物不能算得上是真正意义上的英雄好汉。他既没有武松醉打蒋门神、花和尚倒拔垂杨柳的威风，也没有黑旋风沂岭杀四虎、关胜降水火二将的英勇，他的声名远扬只在于他有着江湖上难得的义气。施耐庵之所以让梁山泊前首领晁盖死去后让宋江继位，是因为只有他才能让其余一百零七位好汉臣服。连脾气暴躁、难以服人的黑旋风也都心甘情愿地叫他哥哥。宋江将他的忠义展现得淋漓尽致，使得一百零八将上下一心。当然，光义气也不能坐稳梁山伯头领的宝座，还要有谋略，宋江的谋略有时连天机星吴用也赞叹不已，例如：攻下祝家庄、大败辽军等等这些功绩都是靠宋江的谋略才取得的。

而宋江的一生中特点就是他十分忠，而且这个忠已经到了愚忠的境界，导致在最后被高太尉等人害死。

宋江在故事里体现的忠、义二字固然可歌可泣，但是，在现在的法制社会里，像武松那样凡事用武力解决的方法是不可取的。因此，由于时代的变迁，我们只能用欣赏的角度去看这本书，万万不可盲目地学习其中的处事方法。

这类题目主要包括事实识别、有关计算、识图、排列顺序等。一般地，这类题目可以直接从短文中找到可用的信息。这些问题一般都涉及到文章的“5W”，即 who(人物)，when(时间)，where(地点)， what(事件)，why(原因)，how(方式)等。题目设计大多直截了当。只要通读全文，注意文中所述的重要事实或细节，就可以做出正确解答。以图表材料命制的题目更是如此。例如：

03’年山东省烟台市“阅读理解”短文(D)中有下面这样一段话：

He/She should have an interest in making pizza. More importantly, he/she should have work experience in a restaurant.

针对这段文字，文后设有这样一道题：

The ad (广告) tells us that ____________________.

A. the assistant must be a man. B. the assistant must have once worked in a restaurant.

C. Pucci Pizza has branches all over China. D. Pucci Pizza is not in Taichung.

【分析】本小题选项B的意思是“要招聘的这个人必须曾在饭馆过”。即要具有一定的从事餐饮业的经验。这与原文中叙述的事实“More importantly, he/she should have work experience in restaurant.”相比较，形式上虽不大一样，但其内涵却完全相同。如果考生准确解了短文中的这句话，问题即可迎刃而解。

又如03’年广东省中考“阅读理解”短文(C)篇中有这样一句话：

In the past, there were forests all around Lake Ponkapog 初中英语, so the rainwater was clean.

短文后的题目是：

In the past Lake Ponkapog was surrounded by ________. A. fish B. rain C. birds D. forests

【分析】题目所要问的是“Lake Ponkapog四周过去被什么东西所环绕？” 而阅读材料中已用There be句型表达出了这层意思，句式不同，却有异曲同工之妙。

导语：正如我们所知，教育影响一个国家的未来，它是如此重要，我们谁也不能忽视它。下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的优秀英语作文，欢迎阅读与借鉴，谢谢!

Since the reform and the opening up great changes have taken place in china so is the education unfortunately the development is uneven especially between rural and urban areas.

As we know education affect the future of a country it is so important that none of us can afford to ignore it.

Generally speaking as a result of the economic situationsthe city is more advanced in everyway compared with the country sidefar more fund and resources are poured into city while the rural erea was laged far behind.it is common to see that children in the city sit in the comfortable classroom with brandnew desk and chairs listening to the best teacher in almost every field while the students in the country side even did not have enough money to buy a penciland there is only three or four teachers in a so called school.

I remember that premier Wen said develpment must be for the people by the people and the achievement must be shared by all the people i dont think its right to see the gap in education expanding again and again there must something can be done to make sure the students in the countryside can enjoy equal high quality and affordable aducation as there counterparts in the city.

【参考译文】

改革开放以来，中国发生了巨大的变化，所以是教育，不幸的是，这种发展是不平衡的，特别是在农村和城市地区。

正如我们所知，教育影响一个国家的未来，它是如此重要，我们谁也不能忽视它。

一般来说，由于经济情况，城市是更先进的国家在各个方面相比，更多的资金和资源涌入城市，而农村地区被远远地落在原来是看到城里的孩子坐在崭新的桌椅听最好的老师几乎每一场舒适的教室，而在农村的学生甚至没有足够的钱来买一支铅笔，有一个所谓的学校只有三或四的教师。

我记得，文章了总理说，发展必须是为了人民，由人民，和成果必须由所有人共享的，我不想看到教育扩大一次又一次的差距是正确的，一定有什么可以做，以确保农村学生享受平等的，高质量的和负担得起的教育，作为这个城市的同行。

书是人们不可缺少的一部分，高尔基也曾经说过：“书是人类进步的阶梯。“

书，赋予我知识、赋予我智慧，看书是我了解到黄德甜老师所写的《语重心长》通过这本书，让我懂得了不少的人生哲理。

在我读完《语重心长》这本书后，我才发觉到书他是我们知识的一片海洋，能与书为友是最庆幸的事，在《语重心长》里，我读懂了里面的内容，是他让我明白了语重心长这几个字的理解，在生活中的我，仍然是要懂得尊重师长、尊重父母，他们的话，我们要听，因为他们的见识比我们多，所以，他们的学识、技能也比我们强;因为他们十分关爱我们，所以，他们才会反复叮嘱我们，我们千万不要自以为是，不要像一些人，在校不尊重师长、在家不尊重父母，而经常与师长、父母顶嘴，从不去想想，师长、父母是为了他好，只会心里埋怨自己的父母与师长，难免有时师长、父母是会说错批、评错你，那也要在适合的场所纠正，和必须等对方冷静下来，才和平地去谈判这件事情，而不要在对方还在气头上去顶撞他们，这样只会更加的让他们更怒气，只有心平气和、冷静才能解决问题，古句也有说国，君不闻“不听老人言，吃亏在眼前。”

Bills of exchange, also referred to as bills, are essentially a short term credit instrument that can be used by a company either for financing or investment. Bills can be issued for any term up to a year and are generally issued for periods of less than 6 months. Companies issue bills because they are a convenient form of borrowing. The difference between bills and a standard loan is that bills held by the bank can sold to investors. Bills with terms of 30 days to 90 days are the easiest to trade? Bills are usually an ideal loan because a company generally will not run into any problems within 3 to 6 months.

汇票，也叫票据，主要指一种可用作公司筹资或投资的短期信用票据。汇票的使用期限可以是一年以内的任何期限，但通常在六个月以内。公司签发汇票是因为它们是借款的捷径之一。汇票与正常贷款之间的差异在于银行可将持有的汇票卖给投资者。期限为30到90天的汇票最容易出手。汇票通常是最理想的贷款，因为公司一般在3到6个月的时间内出问题的几率很低。

if we have a book ,we will not be felling of being longly.

When Im free or in trouble, I always take out a book and read quietly. In no time, Ive put my heart into it so that Ill forget all the troubles. Its in this way that Ive formed the habit of reading in any time.

Little boys as I was, I was interest in picture books and storybooks. I was struck by them. No sooner had I entered the middle school than I began to read novel, plays, essays and so on. I found I could get much from them. Little by little I took great interest in literature and last term I won the first prize in the composition contest among middle-school students in Zhe Jiang.

Reading “The Emperors New Clothes”, I had to let out a burst of laughter over his fool. “The Little Match Girl” couldnt keep me from crying for her misery. “ Robinson Crusoe” took me into a strange world full of danger. And I was also deeply impressed by Helen Kellers patience and perseverance… Besides these, books also tell me other thing -how to be a man and how to tell the difference between right and wrong.

In a word, good books can make me know what I didnt before. So I think of a good book as my best friend.Ill never forget this famous saying,“ Good books are best friends who never turn their backs upon us.

There were three of them. There were four of us, and April lay on the campsite and on the river, a mixture of dawn at a damp extreme and the sun in the leaves at cajole. This was Deer Lodge on the Pine River in Ossipee, New Hampshire, though the lodge was naught but a foundation remnant in the earth. Brother Bentleys father, Oren, had found this place sometime after the First World War, a foreign affair that had seriously done him no good but he found solitude abounding here. Now we were here, post World War II, post Korean War, Vietnam War on the brink. So much learned, so much yet to learn.

Peace then was everywhere about us, in the riot of young leaves, in the spree of bird confusion and chatter, in the struggle of pre-dawn animals for the start of a new day, a Cooper Hawk that had smashed down through trees for a squealing rabbit, yap of a fox at a youngster, a skunk at rooting.

We had pitched camp in the near darkness, Ed LeBlanc, Brother Bentley, Walter Ruszkowski, myself. A dozen or more years we had been here, and seen no one. Now, into our campsite deep in the forest, so deep that at times we had to rebuild sections of narrow road (more a loggers path) flushed out by earlier rains, deep enough where we thought wed again have no traffic, came a growling engine, an old solid body van, a Chevy, the kind I had driven for Frankie Pike and the Lobster Pound in Lynn delivering lobsters throughout the Merrimack Valley. It had pre-WW II high fenders, a faded black paint on a body youd swear had been hammered out of corrugated steel, and an engine that made sounds too angry and too early for the start of day. Two elderly men, we supposed in their seventies, sat the front seat; felt hats at the slouch and decorated with an assortment of tied flies like a miniature bandoleer of ammunition on the band. They could have been conscripts for Emilano Zappata, so loaded their hats and their vests as they climbed out of the truck.

"Mornin, been yet?" one of them said as he pulled his boots up from the folds at his knees, the tops of them as wide as a big mouth bass coming up from the bottom for a frog sitting on a lily pad. His hands were large, the fingers long and I could picture them in a shop barn working a primal plane across the face of a maple board. Custom-made, old elegance, those hands said.

"Barely had coffee," Ed LeBlanc said, the most vocal of the four of us, quickest at friendship, at shaking hands. "Weve got a whole pot almost. Have what you want." The pot was pointed out sitting on a hunk of grill across the stones of our fire, flames licking lightly at its sides. The pot appeared as if it had been at war, a number of dents scarred it, the handle had evidently been replaced, and if not adjusted against a small rock it would have fallen over for sure. Once, a half-hour on the road heading north, noting it missing, wed gone back to get it. When we fished the Pine River, coffee was the glue, the morning glue, the late evening glue, even though wed often unearth our beer from a natural cooler in early evening. Coffee, camp coffee, has a ritual. It is thick, it is dark, it is potboiled over a squaw-pine fire, it is strong, it is enough to wake the demon in you, stoke last evenings cheese and pepperoni. First man up makes the fire, second man the coffee; but into that pot has to go fresh eggshells to hold the grounds down, give coffee a taste of history, a sense of place. That means at least one egg be cracked open for its shells, usually in the shadows and glimmers of false dawn. I suspect thats where "scrambled eggs" originated, from some camp like ours, settlers rushing west, lumberjacks hungry, hoboes lobbying for breakfast. So, camp coffee has made its way into poems, gatherings, memories, a time and thing not letting go, not being manhandled, not being cast aside.

英语作文阅读：AnEmptyBox

Once upon a time, a man punished his 5-year-old daughter for using up the familys only roll of expensive gold wrapping paper. Money was tight, and he became even more upset when on Christmas Eve, he saw that the child had pasted the gold paper so as to decorate a shoebox to put under the Christmas tree.

Nevertheless, the next morning the little girl, filled with excitement, brought the gift box to her father and said, "This is for you, Daddy!"

As he opened the box, the father was embarrassed by his earlier overreaction.

But when he opened it, he found it was empty and again his anger flared. "Dont you know, young lady, " he said harshly, "when you give someone a present theres supposed to be something inside the package!"

The little girl looked up at him with tears rolling from her eyes and said: "Daddy, its not empty. I blew kisses into it until it was all full."

The father was crushed. He fell on his knees and put his arms around his precious little girl. He begged her to forgive him for his unnecessary anger.

An accident took the life of the child only a short time later. It is told that the father kept that little gold box by his bed for all the years of his life. Whenever he was discouraged or faced difficult problems he would open the box, take out an imaginary kiss, and remember the love of this beautiful child who had put it there.

In a very real sense, each of us as human beings have been given an invisible golden box filled with unconditional love and kisses from our children, family, friends and God.

There is no more precious possession anyone could hold.

英语作文阅读：HappinessEquateswithFun

I live in Hollywood. You may think people in such a glamorous, fun-filled place are happier than others. If so, you have some mistaken ideas about the nature of happiness.

Many intelligent people still equate happiness with fun. The truth is that fun and happiness have little or nothing in common. Fun is what we experience during an act. Happiness is what we experience after an act. It is a deeper, more abiding emotion.

Going to an amusement park or ball game, watching a movie or television, are fun activities that help us relax, temporarily forget our problems and maybe even laugh. But they do not bring happiness, because their positive effects end when the fun ends.

I have often thought that if Hollywood stars have a role to play, it is to teach us that happiness has nothing to do with fun. These rich, beautiful inpiduals have constant access to glamorous parties, fancy cars, expensive homes, everything that spells "happiness".

But in memoir after memoir, celebrities reveal the unhappiness hidden beneath all their fun: depression, alcoholism, drug addiction, broken marriages, troubled children, profound loneliness.

The way people cling to the belief that a fun-filled, pain-free life equates happiness actually diminishes their chances of ever attaining real happiness. If fun and pleasure are equated with happiness, then pain must be equated with unhappiness. But, in fact, the opposite is true: More times than not, things that lead to happiness involve some pain.

As a result, many people avoid the very endeavors that are the source of true happiness. They fear the pain inevitably brought by such things as marriage, raising children, professional achievement, religious commitment, civic or charitable work, and self-improvement.

Two men, both seriously ill, occupied the same hospital room. One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon to help drain the fluid from his lungs. His bed was next to the room‘s only window. The other man had to spend all his time flat on his back. The men talked for hours on end.

They spoke of their wives and families, their homes, their jobs, their involvement in the military service, where they had been on vacation. And every afternoon when the man in the bed by the window could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see outside the window. The man in the other bed began to live for those one-hour periods where his world would be broadened and enlivened by all the activity and color of the world outside.

The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake. Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Young lovers walked arm in arm amidst flowers of every color of the rainbow. Grand old trees graced the landscape, and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance. As the man by the window described all this in exquisite detail, the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and imagine the picturesque scene.

One warm afternoon the man by the window described a parade passing by. Although the other man couldn‘t hear the band - he could see it in his mind‘s eye as the gentleman by the window portrayed it with descriptive words.

Days and weeks passed. One morning, the day nurse arrived to bring water for their baths only to find the lifeless body of the man by the window, who had died peacefully in his sleep. She was saddened and called the hospital attendants to take the body away.

As soon as it seemed appropriate, the other man asked if he could be moved next to the window. The nurse was happy to make the switch, and after making sure he was comfortable, she left him alone. Slowly and painfully, he propped himself up on one elbow to take his first look at the world outside. Finally, he would have the joy of seeing it for himself. He strained to slowly turn to look out the window beside the bed. It faced a blank wall.

The man asked the nurse what could have compelled his deceased roommate who had described such wonderful things outside this window. The nurse responded that the man was blind and could not even see the wall. She said, "Perhaps he just wanted to encourage you."

A young man was getting ready to graduate from college. For many months he had admired a beautiful sports car in a dealers showroom, and knowing his father could well afford it, he told him that was all he wanted.

As Graduation Day approached, the young man awaited signs that his father had purchased the car. Finally, on the morning of his graduation, his father called him into his private study. His father told him how proud he was to have such a fine son, and told him how much he loved him. He handed his son a beautiful wrapped gift box. Curious, but somewhat disappointed, the young man opened the box and found a lovely, leather-bound Bible, with the young mans name embossed in gold.

Angrily, he raised his voice to his father and said, "With all your money you give me a Bible?" He then stormed out of the house, leaving the Bible.

Many years passed and the young man was very successful in business. He had a beautiful home and a wonderful family, but realizing his father was very old, he thought perhaps he should go to see him. He had not seen him since that graduation day. Before he could make the arrangements, he received a telegram telling him his father had passed away, and willed all of his possessions to his son. He needed to come home immediately and take care of things.

When he arrived at his fathers house, sudden sadness and regret filled his heart. He began to search through his fathers important papers and saw the still new Bible, just as he had left it years ago.

With tears, he opened the Bible and began to turn the pages. As he was reading, a car key dropped from the back of the Bible. It had a tag with the dealers name, the same dealer who had the sports car he had desired. On the tag was the date of his graduation, and the words… "PAID IN FULL".

How many times do we miss blessings because they are not packaged as we expected? I trust you enjoyed this. Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; but remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for. Sometimes we dont realize the good fortune we have or we could have because we expect "the packaging" to be different. What may appear as bad fortune may in fact be the door that is just waiting to be opened.

英语作文阅读：TheBabyEagle

Once upon a time there was a baby eagle living in a nest perched on a cliff overlooking a beautiful valley with waterfalls and streams, trees and lots of little animals, scurrying about enjoying their lives.

The baby eagle liked the nest. It was the only world he had ever known. It was warm and comfortable, had a great view, and even better, he had all the food and love and attention that a great mother eagle could provide. Many times each day the mother would swoop down from the sky and land in the nest and feed the baby eagle delicious morsels of food. She was like a god to him, he had no idea where she came from or how she worked her magic.

The baby eagle was hungry all the time, but the mother eagle would always come just in time with the food and love and attention he craved. The baby eagle grew strong. His vision grew very sharp. He felt good all the time.

Until one day, the mother stopped coming to the nest.

The baby eagle was hungry. "Im sure to die," said the baby eagle, all the time.

"Very soon, death is coming," he cried, with tears streaming down his face. Over and over. But there was no one there to hear him.

Then one day the mother eagle appeared at the top of the mountain cliff, with a big bowl of delicious food and she looked down at her baby. The baby looked up at the mother and cried "Why did you abandon me? Im going to die any minute. How could you do this to me?"

The mother said, "Here is some very tasty and nourishing food, all you have to do is come get it."

"Come get it!" said the baby, with much anger. "How?"

The mother flew away.

The baby cried and cried and cried.

A few days later, "Im going to end it all," he said. "I give up. It is time for me to die."

He didnt know his mother was nearby. She swooped down to the nest with his last meal.

"Eat this, its your last meal," she said.

The baby cried, but he ate and whined and whined about what a bad mother she was.

"Youre a terrible mother," he said. Then she pushed him out of the nest.

He fell.

Head first.

Picked up speed.

Faster and faster.

He screamed. "Im dying Im dying," he cried. He picked up more speed.

He looked up at his mother. "How could you do this to me?"

He looked down.

The ground rushed closer, faster and faster. He could visualize his own death so clearly, coming so soon, and cried and whined and complained. "This isnt fair!" he screamed.

Something strange happens.

The air caught behind his arms and they snapped away from his body, with a feeling unlike anything he had ever experienced. He looked down and saw the sky. He wasnt moving towards the ground anymore, his eyes were pointed up at the sun.

"Huh?" he said. "What is going on here!"

"Youre flying," his mother said.

"This is fun!" laughed the baby eagle, as he soared and ped and swooped.

"Yes it is!" said the mother.

[英语作文阅读：The Three Fishermen

早就仰慕《四世同堂》这本厚重大书的美名，只是因为几年前年纪太小，没有翻开这本书，而今天我有幸仔细阅读它，领略大师笔下塑造的世界。

纸张在我手指下翻动，一个个鲜活的人物跃然纸上。首先映入眼帘的是祁老太爷，他“高身量，长脸，眼睛太小，一笑就眯成一条缝”，几句简短、朴素的词语，立刻在我心中构建出祁老太爷和蔼可亲的形象，让我感到非常温暖，如同见到了自家的老人。而且，从他的言语也可咀看出他的勇敢和童心。如;“日本鬼子又闹事了!哼!闹去吧!”说话口气很孩子气，就像十一二岁的孩子，而且还坚强、勇敢，绝不惧怕日本鬼子，对亲人关切、呵护，有时又非常严厉。

下一位出现的是长孙媳妇，她如此能干，又尊敬长辈，从不忍心让祁老太爷生气，只好常常用善意的谎言应付老人的问题，她正是那个年代孝敬老人的北平妇女的代表。

一页页地翻过，大师老舍描绘的人物形象也缓缓地从我眼前掠过。

钱先生一家是“葫芦”里的怪客，他们对别人看得起，又看不起，衣服永远赶不上潮流，想舍弃名利，放弃世俗去追求更高的一种境界。我感觉他就像晋代文学家陶渊明一样，饮诗作乐，与尘世隔绝。钱先生院子里有最美丽的花草树木，万里飘香，仿佛世外桃源一般，体现了当时文人雅士的生活。读后感

不过，最让我敬佩的还是门牌号是二号的李家，李四爷夫妇，他们虽然手头并不宽裕，依然行侠仗义，对邻友的困难都给予援手，不管是亲友还是冤家，即使这样，李太太还责备他对别人帮助太少，这竞成为他帮助他人的一种督促，有时竞冒着生命危险去帮忙，这种舍己为人的做法真令人敬佩。

虽然只读了三章，我已经对老舍先生的妙笔佩服不己，放下书本一个个生动逼真的人物仍活灵活现地在我脑海中浮现，我已经陶醉在他的书中。

Some people think that opportunities result from luck.They think that it occurs randomly and are being given to people for no reason.Some think that there is no such thing as an opportunity,and that everything gained by a person must be done through hard work.But it is undeniable that opportunities are very important.They are like the extra step-up that puts you above the rest of the crowd should you be lucky enough to get it.I believe that opportunities are indeed fate; however,only those who are well prepared can grasp the opportunity given to them and make a change to their lives.

碎片阅读是一种读者通过手机、电子书、网络等进行的不完整的、断断续续的阅读模式。下面语文迷小编为大家提供了碎片阅读的好处英语作文，希望对你有帮助。

Many people read on digital devices like cell phones and e-books. The fast pace of life leaves many people no time to sit and read a whole book, so making use of fragmented time to read is sure to be a trend. Fragmented reading has its advantages. People can get hold of large amounts of information, knowledge, and entertainment in a short time. Digital reading is faster and more interactive than traditional deep reading.

Fragmented reading makes it harder for people to reflect on what they read. People may not bother to remember facts because they know they can always just search for answers online. It is important to read quality books in a deeper way, even if that means forcing yourself to do so. We read not only for knowledge and for practical use, but also for spiritual satisfaction.

I like reading very much because reading is the ladder of human progress. What’s more, reading brings us not only endless fun but also opportunities.

There are many available books for us to choose from, like history books, science books, literary books and so no. But what interests me most in history books---over the long course of history, the Chinese nation has witnessed changes of dynasties, transfers of governments, and foreign powers in modern history. This makes me realize the great responsibility of the development of the motherland. Therefore, we should study hard for the rise of the Chinese.

I sincerely hope that everyone can absorb more nutrients and cultivate a more noble character through reading.
