Once upon a time there was a miser. He hid his gold under a tree. Every week he used to dig it up.

One night a robber stole all the gold. When the miser came again, he found nothing but an empty hole.

He was surprised, and then burst into tears.All the neighbors gathered around him. He told them how he used to come and visit his gold.

读了《夏洛的网》以后我认为威尔伯是幸运的，它找到了它生命中的知已。人这一生也许会交许多朋友，但什么样的人才是我生命中的知己呢？

费恩，一个纯真善良的小姑娘，在威尔伯患难的时刻，能够挺身而出，明哲保身，不落井下石，她可以称得上是威尔伯一生中的半个知己。

威尔伯是一只落脚猪，比普通猪小几倍，被人类认为是不会有出息的猪。在谷仓里认识了许多动物，但没有人跟它玩，它伤心、难过、狐独，它很想有一个朋友和它一起分享快乐，倾听它的苦闷。在它最需要帮助、最落魄的时候它有了一个真正的朋友——夏洛。

夏洛，一只小蜘蛛，它要捕捉、吃苍蝇，所以威尔伯认为它凶狠、殘忍、狡诈、嗜血。样样都不是它喜欢的，甚至怀疑这友谊是在冒险！但是在它生死攸关的时候，那个能与它肝胆相照，甚至不惜割舍自己来搭救它的朋友就是夏洛。夏洛在生命的最后对它的朋友威尔伯说：“因为我喜欢你，我为你结网。生命到底是什么啊？我们出生，我们活上一阵子，我们死去。通过帮助你，也许可以提升一点我生命的价值。谁都知道人活着该做一点有意义的事情。”做为知己朋友它那么深情，那么忠诚，那么有本事。

读到这里我又在想了，有时候其实别人没那么坏，是我们把人家想坏了。所以在生活中我们要学会以公正平和的心态去对待周围的每个人，在没弄清事情真相前，不要妄下定论。人的一生，酸、甜、苦、辣都有可能发生。这个感动了半个世纪的童话故事，同时也告诉了孩子们，要从小养成：有承受困难的心理准备，没有一个人一切都是顺利的；凡事都应以开明、随和、豁达。的心态去对待事物。

同时也反映出，人生只有在最困难、最失落，甚至是生死关头，才能看到谁才是你真正的知己。

所以很多人为什么在他功成名就以后，他的朋友看似很多，但他最看重的永远是他以前的那个共患难的老友。曾经在别人瞧不起他，不愿意理他。的时候，那个一直鼓励他、帮助过他的人应该就是他人生中的知己，“人生得一知已足矣”。

我们的这一生可以广交朋友，但必须对朋友真诚相待，我们绝不要苛求朋友也给我们同样的回报。真诚的对待自己的朋友，你会发现，与人为善是一件很幸福的事。

李阳祖籍山西，1969年出生于祖国大西北的新疆乌鲁木齐。其父母六十年代大学毕业后响应党的号召志愿支援边疆建设。李阳中学的学习状况不很理想，1985-1986年高三期间因对学习失去信心曾几欲退学，1986年自新疆实验中学勉强考入兰州大学工程力学系。大学一二年级李阳多次补考英语。

为了彻底改变英语学习失败的窘况，李阳开始奋起一博，他摒弃了偏重语法训练和阅读训练的传统，另辟蹊径，从口语突破，并独创性将考试题变成了朗朗上口的句子，然后脱口而出。经过四个月的艰苦努力，李阳在1988年大学英语四级考试中一举获得全校第二名的优异成绩。

李阳，绝对是高中学生学习英语的榜样。基础差不要紧，笨鸟先飞嘛，关键是我们要引导学生树立起学好英语的自信心：人家可以讲一口流利、纯正、地道的英语，我们也一定能！

曼德拉有一次在全非洲领导人参加的重要会议上演讲，因为年龄大了不小心把讲稿的页次弄乱了。这本来是一个很尴尬的事情，但是曼德拉却出口不凡：

他一边整理讲稿一边风趣地说：“你们要原谅一个老人把讲稿的页次弄乱，不过我知道在座的有一位总统，也曾经把讲稿弄乱，但是与我不同的是，他没有发现而是照样往下念。”

会场顿时响起经久不息的掌声，因为演讲中断而带来的尴尬也烟消云散。

到演讲结束的时候，曼德拉又来了一次幽默。他说：“感谢大会授予我卡马勋章，我现在退休在家，如果哪一天缺钱花了，我就拿到大街上去卖，我知道在座的有一个人一定会花大价钱买的，他就是我们的总统姆贝基。”

姆贝基和在座的所有的人都被曼德拉的幽默而感动，他们起立为曼德拉鼓掌，目送这位风趣的老人退场。

Snow-white

Once there was a Queen. She was sitting at the window. There was snow outside in the garden-snow on the hill and in the lane, snow on the hunts and on the trees: all things were white with snow.

The Queen was making a coat for a little child. She said, "I want my child to be white as this cloth, white as the snow. And I shall call her Snow-white."

Some days after that the Queen had a child. The child was white as snow. The Queen called her Snow-white.

But the Queen was very ill, and after some days she died. Snow-white lived, and was a very happy and beautiful child.

One year after that, the King married another Queen. The new Queen was very beautiful; but she was not a good woman.

A wizard had given this Queen a glass. The glass could speak. It was on the wall in the Queens room. Every day the queen looked in the glass to see how beautiful she was. As she looked in the glass, she asked: "Tell me, glass upon the wall, who is most beautiful of all?" And the glass spoke and said: "The Queen is most beautiful of all."

Year went by. Snow-white grew up and became a little girl. every day the Queen looked in the glass and said, "Tell me, glass upon the wall, who is most beautiful of all?" And the glass said, "Snow-white is most beautiful of all."

When the Queen heard this, she was very angry. She said, "Snow-white is not more beautiful than I am. There is no one who is more beautiful than I am."

Then the Queen sat on her bed and cried.

After one hour the Queen went out of her room. She called one of the servants, and said, "Take Snow-white into the forest and kill her."

The servant took Snow-white to the forest, but he did not kill her, because she was so beautiful and so good. He said, "I shall not kill you; but do not go to the Kings house, because the Queen is angry and she will see you. If the Queen sees you, she will make some other man kill you. Wait here in the forest; some friends will help you." Then he went away.

Poor Snow-white sat at the foot of a tree and cried. Then she saw that night was coming. She said, "I will not cry. I will find some house where I can sleep tonight. I cannot wait here: the bears will eat me."

She went far into the forest. Then she saw a little hut. She opened the door of the hut, and went in. In the hut she saw seven little beds. There was a table, and on the table there were seven little loaves and seven little glasses. She ate one of the loaves. Then she said, "I want some water to drink." So she drank some water out of one of the glasses. Then she fell asleep on one of the seven little beds.

The hut was the home of seven Little Men. When it was night, the seven Little Men came to the hut. Each Little Man had a big beard, and a little blue coat. Each Little Man came into the hut, and took his little lamp. Then each Little Man sat down, and ate his little loaf, and drank his little glass of water.

But one Little Man said, "Someone has eaten my little loaf." And another Little Man said, "Someone has drunk my little glass of water." Then the seven Little Men went to bed, but one Little Man said, "Someone is sleeping on my little bed." All the seven Little Men came to look at Snow-white as she slept on the Little Mens bed. They said, "She is very beautiful."

Snow-white awoke, and saw the seven Little Men with their big beards standing near her bed. She was afraid. The Little men said, "Do not be afraid. We are your friends. Tell us how you came here." Snow-white said, "I will tell you." Then she told them her story.

They said, "Do not be afraid. Live here with us. But see that the door shut when we are not in the house with you. Do not go out. If you go out, the bad Queen will find you. Then she will know that you are not dead, and will tell someone to kill you." So Snow-white lived in the hut with the seven Little Men.

After some days Snow-white went into the garden. One of the Queens servants was going through the forest, and he saw her. He went and told the Queen, "Snow-white is in a hut in the forest." The Queen was very angry when she heard that Snow-white was not dead.

The Queen took an apple. She made a hole in the red side of the apple, and put some powder into the hole. Then she put on old clothes and went to the hut. She called, "Is any one there?" Snow-white opened the door, and came out to her. The Queen said, "I have some pretty apples. Eat one of my pretty apples." Snow-white took the apple and said, "Is it good?" The Queen said, "See, I will eat this white side of the apple; you eat the red side. Then you will know that it is good."

Snow-white ate the red side of the apple. When the powder was in her mouth, she fell down dead. The Queen went back to her house. She went into her room. she looked into the glass and said, "Tell me, glass upon the wall, who is most beautiful of all?" The glass said, "The Queen is most beautiful of all." Then the Queen know that Snow-white was dead.

The Little Men came back to the hut. When they saw that Snow-white was dead, the poor Little Men cried. Then they put Snow-white in a box made of glass. They took the glass box to a hill and put it there, and said, "Everyone who goes by will see how beautiful she was." Then each Little Man put one white flower on the box, and they went away.

Just as they were going away, a Prince came by. He saw the glass box and said, "What is that?" Then he saw Snow-white in the box. He said, "She was very beautiful: but do not put her there. There is a hall in the garden of my fathers house. It is all made of white stone. We will take the glass box and put it in the hall of beautiful white stone."

The Little Men said, "Take her." Then the Prince told his servants to take up the box. They took up the box. Just then one of the servants fell down. The box fell, and Snow-white fell with the box. The bit of apple fell out of her mouth: she awoke, and sat up, and said, "Where am I?"

The Prince said, "You are with me. I never saw anyone as beautiful as you. Come with me and be my Queen."

The Prince married Snow-white, and she became his Queen.

A man went and told this to the bad Queen. When she heard it she was so angry that she fell down dead.

Snow-white lived and was very happy ever after. And the Little Men came to see her every year.

白雪公主

从前，有一个王后，她坐在窗户旁。窗外的花园里积满了雪，山上是雪，小路上是雪，树上和屋顶上也积着雪，万物一片白茫茫。她手中拿着些布和一枚针，她手中的不就像雪一样洁白。王后正在为小孩做一件上衣，她说：“我想我的孩子能够像这布一样白，想雪一样白，我要叫她白雪公主。”

几天之后，王后生了个小孩，这个孩子白得像雪一样，王后给她取名为“白雪公主”。但是，王后得了重病，几天以后就去世了。白雪公主活了下来，她是一个十分幸福和美丽的孩子。

王后去世一年以后，国王又娶了一位王后。新王后十分漂亮，但是，她不是一个善良的女人。一个巫师给了新王后一面镜子，这面镜子会说话，它挂在王后房间的墙上，每天王后照着镜子，欣赏自己多么漂亮。当她照镜子的时候，她问：“告诉我，墙上的魔镜，谁是世界上最漂亮的人？”于是魔镜开口说道：“王后是世界上最漂亮的。”

过了数年，白雪公主长成大人了。当白雪公主是一个年轻姑娘时，有一天，王后照着镜子说：“告诉我，墙上的魔镜，谁是世界上最漂亮的？”魔镜说：“白雪公主是世界上最漂亮的。”

当王后听到这些话时，非常恼怒，她说：“白雪公主没有我漂亮，没有一个人比我更漂亮。”然后，王后坐在床上哭了。一小时后，王后从她的房间走出来，她叫来一个仆人说：“把白雪公主带到森林中杀掉。”

仆人带着白雪公主到了森林，但他没有杀死她，因为她太美丽太善良了。他说：“我不会杀死你的，但是，你不能回王宫，因为，王后很生气，她会看到你的。如果王后发现你，她会让别人杀死你的。你就呆在森林里，会有朋友来帮助你的。”然后，他走了。

可怜的白雪公主坐在一棵树底下哭了，这时，她看到天快黑了，她说：“我不哭了，我要找所房子今晚好睡觉，我不能呆在这儿了，熊会吃了我的。”她往森林深处走去，这时，她发现了一座小屋，她打开小屋的门，走了进去。在小屋里，她看到七张小床，还有一张桌子，桌子上有七块小面包和七个小杯子。她吃了其中一块面包，然后说：“我想喝点水。”于是，她又喝了一个杯子中的一些水。之后，她躺在一张小床上睡着了。

这座小屋是七个小矮人的家。当天黑下来的时候，七个小矮人回到小屋。每个小矮人都留着一副大胡子，穿一件小蓝上衣。小矮人进了小屋，每个人都点上他们的小灯，然后，小矮人都坐下，开始吃面包，喝小杯里的水。

但是，一个小矮人说：“有人把我小面包吃了。”另一个小矮人说：“有人把我的小杯子里的水喝了。”然后，七个小矮人去睡觉。可是一个小矮人说：“有人正睡在我的小床上。”七个小矮人都过来看睡在小矮人床上的白雪公主。他们说：“她真漂亮。”

白雪公主醒了，发现七个留着大胡子的小矮人正站在她床旁，她很害怕。小矮人们说：“别害怕，我们是你的好朋友，告诉我们你是怎么来这儿的。”白雪公主说：“我告诉你们。”接着她就给他们讲述了自己的经历。他们说：“不要害怕。就在这儿和我们住在一起，但是，我们不在家的时候，你一定要关上门，千万别出去。如果你出去了，坏王后会发现你，这样，她知道你没有死，会让人来杀死你。”于是，白雪公主和七个小矮人在这座小屋里生活着。

几天以后，白雪公主去了一趟花园。王后的一个仆人正经过这片森林，他发现了阿。他回去告诉了王后：“白雪公主在森林的一座小屋里。”王后听说白雪公主没有死，十分恼火。

王后拿来一个苹果，她在苹果红的一边挖了一个洞，把一些毒的粉末放在这个洞里。然后，她穿上一身旧衣服，去了小屋。她喊：“屋里有人吗？”白雪公主打开门，出来见她。王后说：“我有一些漂亮的苹果，吃一个尝尝吧？”白雪公主拿着苹果说：“这好吃吗？”王后说：“瞧，我吃苹果白的一半，你吃红的一半，你会知道它味道不错。”白雪公主吃了苹果红的一半，当粉末进入她嘴里时，她倒下去死了。

王后回到家，进了自己的房间，对着镜子说：“告诉我，墙上的魔镜，谁是世界上最漂亮的。”魔镜说：“王后是世界上最漂亮的。”于是，王后知道白雪公主已经死了。

小矮人们回到小屋，发现白雪公主死了。可怜的小矮人们全都哭了。然后，他们把白雪公主放进玻璃棺材里，并把它抬到山坡上，安放在那里，说：“每位经过这里的人都会看见她是多么美丽。”接着每个小矮人在棺材上放了一朵白花，然后离开了。

他们刚刚要离开，一位王子从此经过，他看着玻璃棺材说：“那是什么？”这时，他发现白雪公主躺在里面，他说：“她太美丽了，把能把她放在这里，在父亲的王宫里有一座大厅，整个大厅都是用白石头砌成，我们把玻璃棺材搬到那所漂亮的白石大厅里。”小矮人们说：“抬走她吧。”

然后，王子告诉他的仆人抬起棺材。他们抬起它时，不巧一个仆人跌倒了。把棺材也摔到地上，白雪公主随同棺材跌了下来，那块苹果从她嘴里掉了出来，她醒了过来，坐起来说：“我这是在哪儿？”王子说：“你跟我在一起，我从来没有见过一位像你这么美丽的人，跟我来，做我的王后吧。”王子和白雪公主结婚了，她成了王后。

一个人去把这些消息告诉了坏王后，当她听到这些，气得倒下死去了。从那以后，白雪公主一直生活得很幸福。每年小矮人们都来看她。

动物园里，大人指着笼子里的猴子，对小孩说：你知道这种动物叫什么名字吗?

不知道。小孩看着上蹿下跳的猴子回答。

记住，孩子，大人说，这种动物叫猴，是专门供咱们人类开心的。

何以见得呢?小孩问。

不信你瞧——大人说着，从提包中摸出一颗花生，朝笼子里的大猴背后扔去，只见大猴急转身，略一迟疑，却用嘴接住，然后再用爪子从嘴里取出来，剥开吃掉，显得很滑稽。

小孩笑起来，说：真有意思！

大人也被大猴的举动逗得很开心，便来了兴致，又将另一颗花生扔进去，还是扔向大猴身后的地方，大猴故技重演，转身，跳起来用嘴接住，用爪子取出剥开，放进嘴里。

大人受了鼓舞，便不断地扔，大猴便不断地这样接，接住吃掉，或给身边的小猴。

直到一大包花生全部扔完了，大人和小孩才恋恋不舍地离开。

路上，小孩问大人：你为什么将花生扔到大猴的背后呢?

大人得意地笑了，说：猴子翻来覆去地来回折腾才有意思啊?

小孩信服地说：爸爸你真行!

大人又说：猴子这种动物自以为挺聪明，其实被咱们耍了，它还不知道呢，真可悲!

动物园里，大猴指着笼子外的人，对小猴说：你知道这种动物叫什么名字吗？

不知道。小猴望着指手画脚的人回答。

记住，孩子，大猴说，这种动物叫人，是专门供咱们猴子开心的。

何以见得呢?小猴问。

不信你瞧——这时，适逢有个大人往笼子里扔花生，扔向大猴背后，大猴急转身，略一思忖，用嘴去接住，然后再用爪子从嘴里取出，剥开吃掉，显得很滑稽。终于，那大人的一大包花生全部扔给了猴子。

他们走后，小猴问大猴：你为什么用嘴去接扔进来的花生?

大猴得意地笑了，说：如果我用爪子去接，他们还会继续扔吗?

小猴信服地说：妈妈你真行。

大猴又说：人这种动物自以为挺聪明，其实被咱耍了，他们还不知道呢，真可悲!

在一棵大树上，住着一只八哥。它每天都在那儿用非常圆润的歌喉，唱着悦耳的曲子。

初夏的早晨，当八哥正要唱歌的时候，忽然听见了一阵震耳欲聋的嘶叫声，它仔细一看，在那最高的树枝上，贴着一只蝉，它一秒钟也不停地发出“知了——知了——知了——”的叫声，好像喊救命似的。八哥跳到它的旁边，问它：“喂，你一早起来在喊什么呀？”蝉停止了叫喊，看见是八哥，就笑着说：“原来是同行啊，我正在唱歌呀。”八哥问它：“你歌唱什么呢？叫人听起来挺悲哀的，有什么不幸的事发生了么？”蝉回答说：“你的表现力比你的理解力要强，我唱的是关于早晨的歌，那一片美丽的朝霞，使我看了不禁兴奋得要歌唱起来。”八哥点点头，看见蝉又在抖动起翅膀，发出了声音，态度很严肃，它知道要劝蝉停止，是没有希望的，就飞到另外的树上唱歌去了。

中午的时候，八哥回到那棵大树上，它听见那只蝉仍旧在那儿歌唱，那“知了——知了——知了——”的喊声，比早晨更响。八哥还是笑着问它：“现在朝霞早已不见了，你在唱什么呀？”蝉回答说：“太陽晒得我心里发闷，我是在唱热呀。”八哥说：“这倒还差不多，人们只要一听到你的歌，就会觉得更热。”蝉以为这是对它的赞美，就越发起劲地唱起来。八哥只好再飞到别的地方去。

傍晚了，八哥又回来了，那只蝉还是在唱！

八哥说：“现在热气已经没有了。”

蝉说：“我看见了太陽下山的奇景，兴奋极了，所以唱着歌，欢送太陽。”一说完，它又继续着唱，好像怕太陽一走到山的那边，就会听不见它的歌声似的。

八哥说：“你真勤勉。”

蝉说：“我总好像没有唱够似的，我的同行，你要是愿意听，我可以唱一支夜曲——当月亮上升的时候。”

八哥说：“你不觉得辛苦么？”

蝉说：“我是爱歌唱的，只是歌唱着，我才觉得快乐。”

八哥说：“你整天都不停，究竟唱些什么呀？”

蝉说：“我唱了许多歌，天气变化了，唱的歌也就不同了。”

八哥说：“但是，我在早上、中午、傍晚，听你唱的是同一的歌。”

蝉说：“我的心情是不同的，我的歌也是不同的。”

八哥说：“你可能是缺乏表达情绪的必要的训练。”

蝉说：“不，人们说我能在同一的曲子里表达不同的情绪。”

八哥说：“也可能是缺乏天赋的东西，艺术没有天赋是不行的。”

蝉说：“我生来就具备了最好的嗓子，我可以一口气唱很久也不会变调。”

八哥说：“我说句老实话，我一听见你的歌，就觉得厌烦极了，原因就是它没有变化；没有变化，再好的歌也会叫人厌烦的。你的不肯休息，已使我害怕，明天我要搬家了。”

蝉说：“那真是太好了。”说完，它又“知了——知了——知了——”地唱起来了。

足球是世界上最流行的球类运动。现在越来越多韵人喜欢看足球比赛，当他们的球队参加比赛的时候，他们可以废寝忘食地为他们的队员加油。我认为自从中国足协建立以来，许多中国足球的比赛踢得一场比一场好了。但是我们的足球要冲出亚洲、奔向世界还有很长的路要走。我们应该向国外的球队学习，邀请一些外国的运动员和教练到我们中间来。大连万达、上海申花、广东太阳神都是最出色的球队。

[足球比赛英语作文

这个暑假，对我来说，最有意义的一件事，就是参加第九届全国少儿故事大王比赛。比赛时间：8月12日，地点：沈阳军官学院。

这次比赛共有500多名选手参加，来自全国70多个城市。经过抽签，我抽中了258号，被安排在蓝队赛区，第六位上场。比赛开始了，当第一位选手走上台，我就开始紧张了。我不断地安慰自己：“放松，放松，别紧张……”可是，紧张的心态还没有调整过来，就已经轮到我了。我故作镇定，硬着头皮走上了舞台。弯身鞠躬，抬起头，正好遇到其中一位评委老师投来的目光。这目光，多么慈祥啊!一瞬间，我心里的紧张感“逃走”了，而沉着“溜了进来”。“大家好!我是258号选手。”我用响亮的声音介绍自己，紧接着，我开始讲故事《抓贼锁》。这个故事里有三个人物 分别是“小林”、“小偷”和“锁”，对话的时候语气、语调都不一样，为了把故事讲得更加深动，更加吸引人，还要很自然的配上动作和表情。排练的时候，我经常要犯些“错误”，比如忘记加表情或动作没做到位，而此时此刻，我不但没犯“错误”，而且表情做得很丰富，动作做得非常到位。总之，故事《抓贼锁》被我讲得精彩极了。

讲完故事，我急切地等待着评委给我打分。“9。0分、8。9分、9。01分”。“啪啪啪……”全场响起了雷鸣般的掌声。

“周闻哲，二等奖”，吕丹老师兴致勃勃地跑来告诉我。听到这个消息，我开心地跳了起来。吕丹老师对我这次比赛的成绩非常满意，她鼓励我要继续努力，争取在下一届全国少儿故事大王比赛中获得更好的成绩。

As was the common practice with the gods of Olympus,Zeus and Hermes were visiting the world in disguise．One day they came to a village．At a thousand house sthey knocked,and a thousand times they were refused rest and food and drink．At last they arrived at a humble cottage,where the old couple Baucis and her husband Philemon lived．Poor but at peace with world,they made the best of what life could offer them ,and felt truly grateful to the gods above．When the two travellers entered the hut,the old couple were glad with lively happiness．They offered their guests their best seat,and immediately set about preparing dinner for them．With no small difficulty they made fire,brought in a fresh cabbage,cut a fat piece of their long kept meat and put them over the fire to cook．The one single goose they were ready to kill for the visitors,but it was saved at the last minute by the guests．The dining bench was a makeshift ,poor and patched but the best they had．The table was supported by a brick．The feast was quite modest,eggs and wine and cot tage cheese,and a variety of newly pickedfruit．The old couple humbly waited on the visiting guests withsincere looks and eager goodwill．Moved at the hospitality ofthe house,the gods told their true identity．“We are gods”,saidZeus．“While the neigh bour hood pays the penalty for itswickedness you shall be free from misfortune．Coming along with us”．When they were near the top of the hill,Bancis and Phile mon looked back and saw all the village below covered by amarsh ,and that among the general ruin and destruction their old cottage alone survived,changed into a grand temple．At their request they were made the guardians of the sacred place of Zeus．When their span of worldly life came to an end they were turned into an ash and linden,standing side by side in front of the temple．

细心地观察一下，会发现，禅者脚下，也大有意趣。禅师们夏天穿在脚上的鞋子，是用一条一条的灰布做的，鞋子上有六个大空隙。穿着这样的鞋，一定很凉爽。 我问：我可以穿这样的鞋子吗? 禅师深深地看啦我一眼，他笑啦，点啦点头。 他看出啦我的期望，坐在廊间的扶手上，脱下一只，让我试穿一下。 合脚，轻便，舒服。能够细腻地体会到脚踩在大地上的感觉。硬挺挺的皮鞋底，像是缺啦心眼，此刻，脚又有啦心眼，有啦细微的体会。 感觉很好。把鞋子脱下来，还给禅师。 我注意到禅师脚上的鞋，洁净。虽是一双灰色的布履，却很美。夏天的僧鞋，简单，大概是为啦省布。因为节俭是僧人的本分。 僧鞋为什么要有六个洞呢? 禅师说：僧鞋的六个洞，是要僧人能够“低头看得破”。

【哲理】低头是谦诚有礼，看得破是要看破眼耳鼻舌身意六根，是要看破色声香味触法六尘，以及参破六道轮回，勘破贪嗔痴慢疑邪六大烦恼。

不起眼的一双僧鞋，竟然有这么广阔的含意，让人不得不佩服佛法的精细与博大。

父子二人经过五星级饭店门口，看到一辆十分豪华的进口轿车。

儿子不屑地对他的父亲说：「坐这种车的人，肚子里一定没有学问!」

父亲则轻描淡写地回答：说这种话的人，口袋里一定没有钱

(注：你对事情的看法，是不是也反映出你内心真正的态度?)

After his father five-star hotel door and saw a very luxury imported cars.

Son of disdain for his father, said: "The people who take such a vehicle, necessarily Moyouxuewen stomach!"

Father answered lightly: say such things, certainly no money pocket

(Note: Your view of things, is not it also reflects the real attitude of your heart?)

Let me take it down

An elephant said to a mouse ,"no doubt that you are the smallest znd most useless thing that Ihave e ver seen ."

"Pless ,say it again .Let me take it down ."the mouse said ."I will tell a flea what I know."

“请再说一遍，让我把它记下来。”老鼠说。“我要讲给我认识的一只跳蚤听。

(只为成功找方法，不为失败找理由)

作者：孙栋浩

我们班有两名同学参加，一位是“王浩然”11好，”一位是“曲子愈”25号。”

我们觉得王浩然讲的别较好，因为他讲的时候很有精神，声音很大，很洪亮，讲的也很流利，还有一些符合要求的动作。

我们五(10)班的王浩然在比赛中的了第二名，满分十分，他的了9。64分，曲子愈是第10几名，是9点45分，最高的得了9。70分，王浩然讲的是岳家军，“岳飞”，讲得非常好，里面讲了，岳飞小的时候妈妈把精忠报国这四个字刻在了岳飞身上，然后岳飞长大了，每次处于打仗赫赫立功，为祖国献上了很大的贡献。

曲子愈讲的是《注视的眼睛》，讲的很好，但是在台上也有忘词的部分，里面讲的是，有一对妇女在一个商店偷偷的拿走了一把精美的伞，一个少年想把她抓住教训一番，可是被老婆婆组织了。

他们两人讲的故事都很有趣。

一条不懂事的美丽小蛇在水边看见啦一只有着漂亮花纹、皮肤超好的青蛙，不禁生出啦爱慕之心。小蛇对青蛙说：我们可以交往吗?青蛙说：好啊好啊。于是他们两个生活在啦一起。

有一天，他们在睡觉的时候，小蛇在睡梦中不由自主地用身体将青蛙缠啦起来，青蛙感觉要窒息啦，就奋力挣扎，用两条强壮而有力的后腿重重地蹬在小蛇的腹部，弹啦出去，然后迅速地逃走啦，再也没有回来。

伤心的小蛇养好啦身上的伤，却无法养好心中的伤，她对帅气漂亮的青蛙产生啦恐惧感，认为会被伤害，从此她过着单身生活。这一天，一只丑陋的癞蛤蟆发现啦小蛇，觉得她十分美丽，不禁生出啦爱慕之心。

癞蛤蟆对小蛇说：我们可以交往吗?小蛇看啦看丑陋的癞蛤蟆，觉得他的眼神很真诚，她那颗寂寞的心动摇啦，她想这只癞蛤蟆这么丑陋，应该会好好珍惜她这么漂亮的小蛇的，于是她说：好吧好吧。

于是他们两个生活在啦一起。有一天，他们在睡觉的时候，小蛇在睡梦中不由自主地用身体将癞蛤蟆缠啦起来，癞蛤蟆感觉要窒息啦，就奋力挣扎，他的背上喷出啦毒汁，射进啦小蛇的眼睛，小蛇受痛展开啦身体，癞蛤蟆趁机逃走啦，再也没有回来。

【哲理】别以为只有帅哥才会伤害女孩，丑男一样会伤害女孩!这个故事还告诉我们：适当的缠绵是可以的，但是如果你的性要求太频繁，给男人压力太大，那么男人会被你吓跑的。

Once upon a time there was a kind-hearted nobility, his wife died due to illness, he and his three daughters. This noble tried many inventions, failed, so spent money, so they had to move to a farmhouse life, his daughters also had to personally cooking, sewing and clean.

As for the daughters to marry, the father became even more depressed, because he had no money to buy dowry daughters. One evening, after washing clothes daughters will hang stockings at the fireplace drying. Saint Nicholas know their fathers situation, on that night, came to their doorstep. He has seen from the window fell asleep, the family also noticed that girls stockings. Then from his pocket, he three packets of gold from the chimney, just dropped a cast of girls in the stockings. The next morning when the daughters awoke they found their stockings contained enough gold for them to get married. The nobleman was able to see his three daughters marry and he lived a long and happy life. Later, the children all over the world continue the tradition of hanging Christmas stockings. In some countries children have similar customs, in France, the children will put shoes by the fireplace, etc.(.)

In 1882 a baby girl caught a fever that was so fierce she nearly died. She survived but the fever left its mark she could no longer see or hear. Because she could not hear she also found it very difficult to speak.

1882年，一名女婴因高发烧差点丧命。她虽幸免于难，但发烧给她留下了后遗症 她再也看不见、听不见。因为听不见，她想讲话也变得很困难。

So how did this child, blinded and deafened at 19 months old, grow up to become a world-famous author and public speaker?

那么这样一个在19个月时就既盲又聋的孩子，是如何成长为享誉世界的作家和演说家的呢？

The fever cut her off from the outside world, depriving her of sight and sound. It was as if she had been thrown into a dark prison cell from which there could be no release.

高烧将她与外界隔开，使她失去了视力和声音。她仿佛置身在黑暗的牢笼中无法摆脱。

Luckily Helen was not someone who gave up easily. Soon she began to explore the world by using her other senses. She followed her mother wherever she went, hanging onto her skirts, She touched and smelled everything she came across. She copied their actions and was soon able to do certain jobs herself, like milking the cows or kneading dough, She even learnt to recognize people by feeling their faces or their clothes. She could also tell where she was in the garden by the smell of the different plants and the feel of the ground under her feet.

万幸的是海伦并不是个轻易认输的人。不久她就开始利用其它的感官来探查这个世界了。她跟着母亲，拉着母亲的衣角，形影不离。她去触摸，去嗅各种她碰到的物品。她模仿别人的动作且很快就能自己做一些事情，例如挤牛奶或揉面。她甚至学会*摸别人的脸或衣服来识别对方。她还能*闻不同的植物和触摸地面来辨别自己在花园的位置。

By the age of seven she had invented over 60 different signs by which she could talk to her family, If she wanted bread for example, she would pretend to cut a loaf and butter the slices. If she wanted ice cream she wrapped her arms around herself and pretended to shiver.

七岁的时候她发明了60多种不同的手势，*此得以和家里人交流。比如她若想要面包，就会做出切面包和涂黄油的动作。想要冰淇淋时她会用手裹住自己装出发抖的样子。

Helen was unusual in that she was extremely intelligent and also remarkably sensitive. By her own efforts she had managed to make some sense of an alien and confusing world. But even so she had limitations.

海伦在这方面非比一般，她绝顶的聪明又相当敏感。通过努力她对这个陌生且迷惑的世界有了一些知识。但她仍有一些有足。

At the age of five Helen began to realize she was different from other people. She noticed that her family did not use signs like she did but talked with their mouths. Sometimes she stood between two people and touched their lips. She could not understand what they said and she could not make any meaningful sounds herself. She wanted to talk but no matter how she tried she could not make herself understood. This make her so angry that she used to hurl herself around the room, kicking and screaming in frustration.   海伦五岁时开始意识到她与别人不同。她发现家里的其他人不用象她那样做手势而是用嘴交谈。有时她站在两人中间触摸他们的嘴唇。她不知道他们在说什么，而她自己不能发出带有含义的声音。她想讲话，可无论费多大的劲儿也无法使别人明白自己。这使她异常懊恼以至于常常在屋子里乱跑乱撞，灰心地又踢又喊。

As she got older her frustration grew and her rages became worse and worse. She became wild and unruly . If she didnt get what she wanted she would throw tantrums until her family gave in. Her favourite tricks included grabbing other peoples food from their plates and hurling fragile objects to the floor. Once she even managed to lock her mother into the pantry. Eventually it became clear that something had to be done. So, just before her seventh birthday, the family hired a private tutor Anne Sullivan.

随着年龄的增长她的怒气越为越大。她变得狂野不驯。倘若她得不到想要的东西就会大发脾气直到家人顺从。她惯用的手段包括抓别人盘里的食物以及将易碎的东西猛扔在地。有一次她甚至将母亲锁在厨房里。这样一来就得想个办法了。于是，在她快到七岁生日时，家里便雇了一名家庭教师 安尼沙利文。

Anne was careful to teach Helen especially those subjects in which she was interested. As a result Helen became gentler and she soon learnt to read and write in Braille. She also learnt to read peoples lips by pressing her finger-tips against them and feeling the movement and vibrations. This method is called Tadoma and it is a skill that very, very few people manage to acquire. She also learnt to speak, a major achievement for someone who could not hear at all.

安尼悉心地教授海伦，特别是她感兴趣的东西。这样海伦变得温和了而且很快学会了用布莱叶盲文朗读和写作。*用手指接触说话人的嘴唇去感受运动和震动，她又学会了触唇意识。这种方法被称作泰德马，是一种很少有人掌握的技能。她也学会了讲话，这对失聪的人来说是个巨大的成就。

Helen proved to be a remarkable scholar, graduating with honours from Radcliffe College in 1904. She had phenomenal powers of concentration and memory, as well as a dogged determination to succeed. While she was still at college she wrote ‘The Story of My Life. This was an immediate success and earned her enough money to buy her own house.

海伦证明了自己是个出色的学者，1904年她以优异的成绩从拉德克利夫学院毕业。她有惊人的注意力和记忆力，同时她还具有不达目的誓不罢休的毅力。上大学时她就写了《我的生命》。这使她取得了巨大的成功从而有能力为自己购买一套住房。

She toured the country, giving lecture after lecture. Many books were written about her and several plays and films were made about her life. Eventually she became so famous that she was invited abroad and received many honours from foreign universities and monarchs. In 1932 she became a vice-president of the Royal National Institute for the Blind in the United Kingdom.

她周游全国，不断地举行讲座。她的事迹为许多人著书立说而且还上演了关于她的生平的戏剧和电影。最终她声名显赫，应邀出国并受到外国大学和国王授予的荣誉。1932年，她成为英国皇家国立盲人学院的副校长。

After her death in 1968 an organization was set up in her name to combat blindness in the developing world. Today that agency, Helen Keller International, is one of the biggest organizations working with blind people overseas.

1968年她去世后，一个以她的名字命名的组织建立起来，该组织旨在与发展中国家存在的失明缺陷做斗争。如今这所机构，“国际海伦凯勒”，是海外向盲人提供帮助的最大组织之一。

“丁冬 ……丁冬……”一阵清脆的门铃声吵醒了鲁皮皮，原来是爸爸妈妈和鲁冰冰从外面回来了，鲁皮皮心想：多美的一个梦啊!鲁冰冰拍了拍哥哥的头说：“哥，找到故事比赛的内容了吗?”鲁皮皮眼珠一转，说：“找到了!” 到底是什么呢?告诉大家吧，就是他自己做的美梦讲给大家听。

比赛将近，故事比赛的日子渐渐来临了。终于等到这一天了，气氛十分紧张。

选手们也后台准备着。有些选手干脆带来了一个镜子，自己对着镜子再练练，所谓“临阵磨枪”——不快也光嘛。有些选手见到了许多竞争对手，不屑一顾的瞟了一眼，好象自己现在就是冠军了似的。鲁皮皮坐在一边，想着把自己的梦再改得精彩一点。鲁冰冰心怦怦直跳，心里只有几丝多余的担心：万一我失败了怎么办?老师会怪我吗?

……“下面有请天才小学五年级的鲁冰冰同学为我们大家讲她为我们带来的故事。”鲁冰冰看了哥哥一眼，鲁皮皮向妹妹做了一个胜利的手势，然后说：“必胜!”鲁冰冰转身走向了舞台的中心……在台上，鲁冰冰听到了自己的心跳声，也许由于紧张的缘故，平时口齿伶俐的她，说话时声音有点颤抖。终于，故事接近了结尾“……王子和公主经过了种种磨难终于过上了幸福的生活。”走到台后，“吁——，总算完了! ”轮到鲁皮皮上场了，鲁冰冰说了句：“哥，加油!”

鲁皮皮一副轻松自在的样子，叽里呱啦的讲着，他仿佛不是在比赛，而是在讲一个美丽的故事，他的表情丰富多采，一会高兴，一会皱眉，身体也十分协调，时而蹲下，时而站起。时台下的观众也仿佛身临其境，故事讲完了，观众还一犹未尽呢!场下顿时爆发出雷鸣般的掌声，许久才平息下来。

终于，激动人心的时刻到了，宣布成绩了，主持人看了鲁皮皮一眼。总之，鲁皮皮回家时，怀里抱着一个大奖杯呢!

After the stealing of fire,Zeus became increasingly unkind to men.One day he

ordered his son Hephaestus to build an image of a beautiful maiden out of clay.He then asked the gods and goddesses to award her with different kinds of gifts.A charming young lady,she was the first woman that ever lived.Zeus called her Pandora.Because she had received from each of the gods and goddesses a gift.The gift was harmful to men.

Zeus decided to send her down to men as a present. So Hermes them essenger brought her to Epimetheus, brother of Prometheus. The greatness of her beauty touched the hearts of all who looked upon her, and Epimetheus happily received her into his house. He had quite forgotten Pometheus warning: never to accept anything from Zeus.

When he was busy with teaching men the art of living, Prometheus had left a bigcask in the care of Epimetheus. He had warned his brother not to open the lid. Pandora was a curious woman. She had been feeling very disappointed that her husband did not allow her to take a look at the contents of the cask. One day, when Epimetheus was out, she lifted the lid and out it came unrest and war, Plague and sickness, theft and violence, grief, sorrow, and all the other evils. The human world was hence to experience these evils. Only hope stayed within the mouth of the jar and never flew out. So men always have hope within their hearts.

偷窃天火之后，宙斯对人类的敌意与日俱增。一天，他令儿子赫菲斯托斯用泥塑一美女像，并请众神赠予她不同的礼物。世上的第一个女人是位迷人女郎，因为她从每位神灵那里得到了一样对男人有害的礼物，因此宙斯称她为潘多拉。

宙斯决定把她作为礼物送给世间的男子。于是信使赫耳墨斯将她带给普罗米修斯的弟弟厄庇墨透斯。她姿容绝美，见者无不为之倾心。厄庇墨透斯兴高采烈地把她迎入屋内。普罗米修斯警告过他不得接受宙斯的任何馈赠，而他已将之忘于脑后。这一对夫妻有过一段幸福的生活，但不久灾难却降临人间。

当普罗米修斯忙于教授人们生存之道的时候，他把一个桶托付给厄庇墨透斯。他警告过他的弟

弟不要打开桶盖。潘多拉好奇心强。她的丈夫不允许她看桶中之物，这使她感到十分懊恼。一天乘厄庇墨透斯出门在外，她打开桶盖，从桶里跑出的是不和与战争，瘟疫与疾病，偷窃与暴力，悲哀与忧虑，以及其他一些人类从此要遭受的不幸。只有希望被关在桶口，永远飞不出来，因此人们常常把希望藏于心中。

南方的小城。将军退居二线，门前冷落鞍马稀，日影陡然增长许多。

哥从老家打来电话，说娘近些日子，拿东西使筷子都不方便了。于是，对娘的思念越来越执拗地浮上来，如丝如缕，扯不断理还乱，好多个梦也压向他，几乎每个梦里都有娘的影子，老家的风景。

娘在梦里还是年轻时俏生生的模样，斜襟棉袄蓝底白色碎花，头发用水拭过，梳得光溜溜的，在脑后面绾了髻，团上黑色的发网，一根银簪一把簪住。娘站在满山满坡的杏树底下，笑盈盈的。那山他认得，就在老家的村子后面，儿时他没少往山上跑。他还在梦里看到了自己，五六岁的样子，捡柴割草，在娘身边跑前跑后。

他小时候很踢腾，像只调皮狗，只有娘能降住他。娘不打他也不骂他，只在他乖的时候，给他讲故事。娘认识字。娘的爹是一位私塾先生，她跟着她爹识了不少字，《三字经》《龙纹鞭影》都溜溜熟，知晓不少故事。娘说：“有孝才有德，有德才无敌。”他被那些故事吸引着。60年后仍然记得一个叫黄香的男孩，冬天的夜晚，给他爹爹暖冰凉的被窝。那时，他听了这个故事，就坚持着天天给娘暖被窝。五六岁的他，把光溜溜的身子蜷在冷硬的被子底下，像搁在石板上一样，冻得上下牙齿打战，身子好半天伸展不开。娘说：“俺孩儿懂事理，将来一定干大事!”

果然被娘说中!十三岁那年，他悄悄离开家，跟着征兵的队伍走了。一走就是二十多年。等他再见到娘时，娘鬓发已苍，岁纹丛生，他则成了中华人民共和国的军官，英姿飒爽，在南方的一个城市娶妻生子，呼风唤雨，落地生根。娘看他的眼神，客客气气小心翼翼，像看一个大人物，跟他隔着十万八千里的距离。后来，他又回过老家两三次，电话打了无数遍，想把娘带出去，可是，娘都婉言拒绝了。做了将军以后，他身不由己，再也没回过老家。娘已经进入耄耋之年。他南征北战几十载，保家卫国，暮年真该回去行点孝啊!寒冷的冬天已经来临，不知娘跟前的儿孙们，会不会有谁给娘暖一回被窝?

如今的将军少了许多的顾忌，说走就走。他急急火火下了飞机，风尘仆仆，回到山村。整个村子都轰动了，好多干部、乡亲簇拥着他，众星捧月一般。娘眼巴巴地站在村口站在寒冷的风中迎接，不知道站了多少时辰!娘扎着黑色的绑腿，深蓝的棉衣棉裤，身子又瘦又小，看上去很轻飘，不经风吹。再近，看清娘黑瘦的脸，如一枚干巴巴的红枣，满嘴的牙齿掉得光光，微张着，像老屋的破窗户洞开。那梦里的乌发银簪，俏生生的容颜，全部遗失在岁月深处!他泪花闪闪，腿一软，大老远跪下：“娘!儿子回来孝顺您了!”娘早已泪涌如泉。

晚上，他说什么也要跟娘睡在一床，给娘暖一回脚。娘把电热毯开上，他又不声不响地关上。哥嫂孝顺，给娘盖的被子很柔软，可他的身子触到时，还是禁不住哆嗦了一下。

娘的气息蕴上来，是陌生的。他蒙上头，抽动着鼻孔，使劲儿嗅，搜索童年时的记忆，末了，无声地哭了。像一只倦怠的鹰，穿越五六十年光阴的山川河流，他又回到生命的起始地。他心里说，娘，儿子再不离开您了!

直到他把被窝暖得没有一片凉的地方，才服侍娘在床的另一头脱衣睡下。娘腿脚冰凉，碰到了他，被他一把搂住，焐在腋窝底下，暖。

不知不觉，他睡着了。

他又梦到了娘，娘依然俏生生的，站在满山满坡的杏树底下。这次，娘是向他告别。娘说：“娘该走了!”他急，追着娘跑，又追不上。撒泼，哭号，顿时惊醒。娘的身子像一块冰，抱在怀里凉飕飕的。再看娘，鼻息全无，驾鹤西去。

将军大恸。

感悟人生：亲情不应只是牵挂，有一种思念也叫冷漠！
