it is believed that the moon is at her brightest on this night. many poems have been written about it, and poets are never tired of reading and writing such poems. in chinese literature, the moon of the mid autumn festival has been compared to a looking-glass, a jade rabbit, and so on. it seems that chinese literature takes far more interest in the moon than in the sun.

中秋节有着有趣的历史。很久以前在一个朝代的中国有一个国王谁是非常残忍的人，并没有管理好国家。人们非常愤怒，一些勇敢的人建议杀死国王。所以他们写了关于会议地点和时间的笔记，并把它们放进蛋糕里。在第八个月的第十五天每个人都被告知买蛋糕。当他们吃他们发现的笔记。于是他们聚集在一起，突然袭击王。从此，中国人在第八个月的第十五天庆祝“吃月饼”，纪念这一重大事件。

中秋节临近时，商店的橱窗装饰得很漂亮。许多“月饼”展示给人们购买。人们发出了这样aswine，水果和“月饼”给他们的朋友和亲戚。在一天的晚上，他们有一个盛宴。宴会结束后，他们到花园去看月亮。孩子们在街上奔跑和欢笑。

人们相信月亮在她最明亮的夜晚。许多诗都是这样写的，诗人从不厌倦读和写这样的诗。在中国文学中，中秋节的月亮被比作一只玻璃，一只玉兔，等等。看来中国文学对月球的兴趣远远超过太阳。

过了几天，小白兔，小猴子和大象在一起玩。玩了一会，小白兔说：“我的橡皮不见了，我怀疑有小偷。”小猴子立刻说：“我也觉得，我也不见了拼图。”大象说：“我也不见了木偶。”小白兔说：“我们去找小灰兔玩吧!”大象和小白兔，小猴子到了小灰兔家后，发现自己被偷的东西都在小灰兔家，它们立刻明白了偷东西的是小灰兔。它们便把自己东西拿回去，再也不理小灰兔了。

“太阳底下最光辉的事业”、“人类灵魂的工程师”……不知道有多少人用这样深情的字眼来讴歌教师这一平凡而又伟大的职业!曾经的她也是一样，憧憬着自己手拿粉笔奋起疾书的画面。经过几年的努力，她成了一名优秀的小学英语老师。今天小编就来分享最美英语老师王云的故事,希望读者喜欢。

最美英语老师王云的故事

一、精备每节课

从十四年前踏上讲台的那一刻，她就明白自己的生活就是这样的单调：学校，家，与那灯火柳绿的社会，她始终保持应该有的距离。在她毕业第一年的时候，也是她小学英语起步的第一年，学校给她的就是一本书，别的什么也没有，于是，别人所有的休闲时间，她都用来制作教具，自己动手画课文的插图，寻找一切可以用来辅助教学的工具，当时就有很多人劝她：英语又不是作为主科的，最后也不要考试，你干嘛这么认真，差不多就行了!对于别人的“善意提醒”，她只能抱以一笑，坚持沉浸在自己的“快乐”之中，为了上出一节让学生感兴趣的课，为了让自己的每一节课都达到自己满意的效果，为了那一张张充满期待的小脸和初学英语的热情和喜悦，她所有的辛苦和努力都显得是那么的有价值。

二、争当好老师

在她心目中，希望学生把她当作朋友一样，可以交心的。所以她一直努力营造一种更为和谐的师生关系，无论是生活中，还是学习上，她都乐意为他们排忧解难，她希望每一个在自己课堂上的学生都是“亲其师而信其道”的，她的坚持，从后来到她课堂上听课的老师那儿得来的反馈得到了很好的印证，每一个老师都能感受到她与学生之间的融洽，她在关注学生时的投入与真诚，学生在听时的入神，教师与学生互动的和谐，她觉得这已经成为了一种享受。她常用乐观无私的心态看待自己的职业，她从中发现无尽的快乐，汲取工作的热情，收获成功的喜悦。

刚毕业时所教的四年级学生中，有一个叫陆曼的小女孩，活泼，开朗，特别喜欢学英语，课堂表现特别的棒，王老师一直以为她是一个优秀的学生，后来通过与其他老师还有她家长的交流，才知道，她的语文成绩只有六十几分，数学也好不到哪儿去，王老师就觉得很困惑，这样一个热情向上的小女孩怎么就成了别的老师眼中的“差生”了呢?王老师不能理解，更不能接受，于是总是利用课间的时候找学生聊聊天，终于知道，原来她的语、数成绩不好，是因为她不喜欢语文和数学老师，觉得她们太严厉了，就讨厌学习这两门课程，所以就越学越差。真的，如果只是因为这种原因，让这样一个原本可以很优秀的学生就这样放弃了自己，真是太可惜了。王老师耐心的开导陆曼，告诉她，每一个老师的教学方法有不同，但每一个老师的出发点都是一样的，都是为了学生好，希望他们能够进步，学有所得。这是一个懂事的女孩，通过与科任老师的协调，对于陆曼的点滴进步都予以表扬，很快，陆曼就让王老师看到了出乎意料的效果，最后考上了南京晓庄师范学校。王老师很感动，感动于自己当初的坚持，其实这样的学生她每一年都会遇到，并且她也一如继往的以自己的耐心和爱心去感化，教育他们，希望每一个孩子都成为一朵美丽的花朵，为祖国贡献一份自己的力量。

三、热衷教科研

打铁还需自身硬，她不是一名专业的英语老师，却从此踏上了英语教学的岗位，她知道自己将付出的要比别人多得多，每一个单词，每一篇课文，在教学生之前，都要反反复复的跟录音读很多遍。在教学之余，她能潜心钻研，认真学习教学理念，充实自己，完善自己，积极的撰写教学心得，总结在教学中的一些体会和经验，把实践的教学心得上升到理论的层次和高度，个人的多篇教研论文在省市教学杂志上发表，多篇论文在国家、省、市级评比中获奖，撰写的全镇英语质量分析报告连续3年获得县评比一等奖。此外，还积极参与课题研究，并将课程研究成果运用到日常英语教学中去，先后主持了县十五、十一五、十二五课题研究，均顺利结题。

功夫不负有心人，她的文章陆续发表于各类报刊、杂志，各类评比的荣誉证书接踵而至，指导学生的习作大量发表，自己也成为一名县小学英语教学能手。

四、争做好队友

工作中她都能够坚持发挥自己乐于助人的善良本性，无论是哪一个老师需要帮助，她都会不遗余力的去贡献自己的力量。所以，每一个老师在需要上公开课，或者比赛课，或者是教学中有什么困惑的时候，都喜欢来找她，和她一起探讨，或者请她帮忙出主意，做课件等等，同事们的信任对她来说就是最大的动力，记不清有多少个夜晚为了别人的课，或是别人的课件她熬到深夜，有时候只是为一句话，或是一个字体，一个图片，反反复复的修改，只是为了不辜负别人对她的信赖。看到同事们一个个取得喜人的成绩她也由衷的替她们感到高兴!

付出总有回报，她的努力获得了学校领导，同事，学生，家长的一致认何，这让她感到作为一个教师的无比幸福。她不知道，做一名好老师，究竟有什么样的标准，她只知道努力做一名好老师，并且将一直坚持下去!

Helen Keller is an American blind and deaf writer and handicapped educator. Born on June 27, 1880 in northern Alabama, a town called taskama biya. She lost her sight and hearing in nineteen months, and then she lost her language skills. 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. The main works have "if give me three days light", "my life", "my teacher" etc. Helen Keller wrote 14 books in her life.

Helen Keller became blind and deaf as a child, but she went through college with great difficulty. She has written more than a dozen works in her life, while working to save children, protect womens rights and fight for racial equality. He was awarded the presidential medal of freedom in 1964.

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.

Helen was very sad when she left the world in 1936 with her teacher for fifty years. Helen knew that without the love of her teacher, she would not have been today, determined to carry forward the love that the teacher gave her. 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.

After her death, her strong will and outstanding contribution touched the whole world, and people everywhere celebrated her activities

"If give me three days light" is Helen Kellers prose masterpiece, she with a waist weak womans point of view, warned able-bodied people should cherish life, cherish the creator of all things. 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。”

One day, a colt carried a bag of wheat to the mill.

As he was running with the bag on his back, he came to a small river. Water went gurgling on. The colt could not decide whether he could cross it. Looking around, he saw a cow grazing nearby. He asked, "Uncle Cow, could you tell me if I can cross the river?" the cow told him that he could and that the river was not very deep, just to his knees.

The colt was crossing the river when a squirrel jumped down a tree and stopped him. The squirrel shouted, "Colt, stop! Youll be drowned! One of my friends was drowned yesterday just in the river." Not knowing what to do, the colt went home to consult his mom.

He told his mom his experience on the way. His mother said, "My child, dont always listen to others. Youd better go and try yourself. Then youll know what to do."

Just at the river, the squirrel stopped the colt again. "Little horse, its too dangerous!" "No, I want to have a try by myself", answered the colt. Then he crossed the river carefully. On the other side of the river, the colt realized that the river was neither as shallow as the cow said nor as as deep as the squirrel told him.

The fable tells us a truth: real knowledge comes from practices.

一天， 老马让小马驮着半口袋麦子到磨坊去磨面。

小马驮着口袋朝着磨坊跑去。忽然，一天小河挡住了去路，河水哗哗地流着。小马为难了，怎么办呢?它向四周望了望，看见一头老牛在河边吃草。小马问道：“牛伯伯，请您告诉我，这条河我能趟过去吗?”老牛说：“能。谁很浅，刚没小腿。”

小马听了老牛的话，正准备过河，突然丛树上跳下一只松鼠，拦住它大叫道：“小马，别过河!河水会把你淹死的。昨天，我的一个伙伴就是掉到这条河里淹死的!”小马不知如何是好，决定回家问妈妈。

小马把路上的经历告诉了妈妈。妈妈说：“孩子，光听别人说是不行的，你自己亲自去试一试，就知道答案了。”

小马回到河边，刚要下水，松鼠又大叫起来：“小马，你不要命啦?”小马说：“让我试试吧。”它一面回答一面下了河，小心地趟了过去。原来河水既不像老牛说的那样浅也不像松鼠说的那样深。

这则寓言告诉我们:实践出真知。

The Lioness

A CONTROVERSY prevailed among the beasts of the field as to which of the animals deserved the most credit for producing the greatest number of whelps at a birth. They rushed clamorously into the presence of the Lioness and demanded of her the settlement of the dispute. "And you," they said, "how many sons

have you at a birth? The Lioness laughed at them, and said:

"Why! I have only one; but that one is altogether a thoroughbred Lion.The value is in the worth, not in the number.

真的小猛士：美国9岁男孩徒手斗鳄鱼

A brave 9-year-old is recovering in hospital after he wrestled a 9-foot, 400lb alligator off him with his bare hands - and he now plans to make a necklace from a tooth doctors found embedded in a wound on his back.

美国佛罗里达州一名9岁的小男孩，在湖中游泳时，遭到一条长9英尺(约2.7米长)、重400磅(约180多公斤)的短吻鳄袭击，赤手与其搏斗之后，小男孩身上多处受伤，目前正在医院治疗中。医生从他背部的伤口里取出一颗短吻鳄的牙齿，小男孩表示想把它做成项链。

James Barney Jr, spoke calmly and eloquently about his ordeal from hospital, where he was tucked up in bed with a teddy bear by his side. He was covered in some 30 teeth marks, doctors said.

小男孩名叫小詹姆斯·巴尼，他在医院里平静、生动地讲述了自己与短吻鳄搏斗的经历，在他床边还放有一只泰迪熊。医生说，小詹姆斯全身有30多处牙印。

The little boy described how it was a hot day so he had parked his bike and jumped into Lake Tohopekaliga - a lake that people are forbidden to swim in - when he felt something brush against his leg.

小詹姆斯说那天特别热，于是他就把自行车停在一旁自己跳进了托霍普卡莱加湖，这个湖是禁止人们在里面游泳的，刚一进去他就感觉有东西擦到他的腿了。

It really amazed me what happened. At first, I thought someone was just playing with me, and I didnt know what happened, he told ABC.

“后来发生的事情真的让我大吃一惊。但开始的时候，我以为是有人在跟我闹着玩，我并不知道发生了什么事情。”他告诉美国广播公司(ABC)的记者。

I reached down to grab it, and I felt its jaw, I felt its teeth, and I didnt know what to do, so I immediately reacted and hit it a couple times. And I had enough strength to pry its jaw open. The child pulled the powerful jaws open long enough to slide out and swim to shore.

“我潜入水中抓住了它，摸到了它的下巴，摸到了它的牙齿，可不知道该怎么做，不过我立刻就反应过来了赶紧猛打了它几下，并使劲撑开了它的嘴巴。”小詹姆斯把它的嘴巴撑得足够大后赶紧退后并向岸边游去。

Witnesses say the boy surfaced, screaming that hed been bitten by an alligator. They immediately called 911.

目击者称小男孩浮出水面后尖叫着说自己被一只短吻鳄咬到了。于是他们立刻拨打911报警。

可能导致马航飞机坠毁的原因是什么？

Traditionally regarded as one of the safest planes in the skies, the Boeing 777’s reputation will have been damaged by the second fatal crash in less than a year.

There are around 1,000 Boeing 777s in service, and the plane is a long haul workhorse, plying some of the longest routes.

It entered service in 1995 and the National Transportation Safety Board, which is responsible for monitoring US-made aircraft, has logged fewer than 60 incidents.

But the recent record has been more patchy with two major incidents - a crash at San Francisco airport last July, which claimed three lives, and the crash-landing of a British Airways 777 at Heathrow in January 2008.

But the Malaysian disaster is very different from both the BA incident and the crash involving a Asiana Airlines flight at San Francisco International Airport in July.

Both the BA and Asiana accidents occurred shortly before landing, while the Malaysia airlines plane disappeared off the radar during the early stages of the trip.

The accident at San Francisco in July was attributed to pilot error which led to the engines being set to idle because he believed the computer would maintain sufficient speed to keep the plane up in the air.

But initial reports suggest that Zaharie Ahmad Shah, the 53-year-old Malaysian airlines pilot, was hugely experienced - having joined the carrier in 1981 and with 18,365 hours in the cockpit under his belt.

The BA crash landing, which did not result in any fatalities, was finally found to have been caused by a blockage in the fuel line feeding the engine.

Simply put the aircraft had the aviation equivalent of a cardiac arrest because some of the fuel failed to melt and blocked the supply line at the end of a long flight from Beijing to London, during which the plane travelled through unusually cold airspace over Siberia.

This crash has echoes of the disaster in which 288 people on board an Air France Airbus 330. That plane, another long-haul workhorse, crashed into the Atlantic en-route from Rio de Janeiro in June 2009 killing 228 people.

A variety of explanations have been given for the Air France crash, with investigators finding that the plane’s speed sensors were giving an incorrect reading.

But with this crash involving a different aircraft, it will take several months before investigators can ascertain the cause.

据英国《每日电讯报》报道，波音777飞机一直被认为是最安全机型之一，但不到一年时间里发生第二起致命坠毁必然会使其名声受损。

波音777飞机在1995年投入使用，现在运行中的波音777飞机大约有1000架，而且它们通常承担最远距离的飞行，是长途运输的主力。负责监控美国制造飞机的美国国家运输安全委员会记录的意外事件不到60件。

但是，最近的记录却因为两次重大事件显得很突出——一件为去年7月旧金山机场的坠机事件，导致三人死亡，另一件为2008年1月在希思罗机场一架英国航空公司的波音777迫降事件。

然而，本次马航事件与英国航空公司事件以及在旧金山国际机场发生的韩亚飞机坠毁事件不同。上两次事件发生在降落前的很短时间内，而马航飞机在航程开始不久就从雷达信号中消失了。

7月的旧金山机场事件归因于飞行员的错误操作，飞行员认为电脑能保持足够的速度使飞机保持空中高度，因此使发动机处于闲置状态。但是，初步报告表明53岁的马航飞行员沙阿飞行经验丰富——1981年进入马航，飞行时间已达1.8365万个小时。

英国航空公司的飞机迫降事件，没有造成人员死亡，失事原因最终确定为连接引擎的燃油管线堵塞。

假设把这次飞机失事的原因比作心脏骤停，原因是在北京到伦敦飞行的最后，经过了西伯利亚不同寻常的寒冷上空，一部分燃料没有融化堵住了供应管道。

本次马航事件让人联想到当年载有288名乘客的法航空客330坠毁事件。这架长途飞行的客机在2009年6月从里约热内卢起飞后在途中坠入大西洋，造成228人死亡。

对于法航飞机坠毁事件的原因，有多个解释，但调查发现飞机的速度传感器给出了错误的读数。但是本次马航事件的飞机与前面所述飞机不同，可能需要几个月的调查才能确定其原因。

云南鲁甸6.5级地震 2500余名官兵赶赴救援

China has deployed 2,500 soldiers to the south-western province of Yunnan to help search for survivors after an earthquake killed at least 398 people.

中国西南省份云南日前发生地震，目前已造成至少398人死亡，政府已出动2500名官兵赶往灾区协助搜救工作。

More than 1,800 people were injured when the magnitude 6.1 earthquake struck on Sunday.

云南周日发生6.1级地震，导致1800余人受伤。

Attempts to reach the epicentre have been hampered by heavy rain, with some rescuers forced to travel on foot.

救援队因暴雨受阻，只能徒步前往震中。

State broadcaster CCTV said the earthquake was the strongest to hit the mountainous province in 14 years.

中国国家电视台CCTV称，云南多山，此次地震是14年来云南省内最强的一次地震。

President Xi Jinping called for "all-out efforts" to find survivors as he dispatched soldiers to the area.

国家主席习近平在向灾区派兵的同时还作出指示，要将救人放在第一位。

They joined more than 300 police and firefighters from Zhaotong and about 400 emergency workers and sniffer dogs from across Yunnan province in the rescue operation.

参与救援行动的还有300余名昭通的武警公安和消防官兵，以及云南省派出的400名救灾人员和搜救犬。

But rescuers trying to deliver the much-needed supplies are struggling to reach the area, reports the BBCs Celia Hatton in Beijing.

但据BBC驻北京记者西莉亚·哈顿报道，搜救人员无法很快将应急物资送往震中。

Unrelenting rain and continuing landslides have left many roads in the region too damaged to use, she adds.

她补充说道，持续的暴雨和山体滑坡导致前往灾区的多个路段受阻。

Premier Li Keqiang has travelled to the area to oversee the rescue operation. And he had to walk for "over three miles" (5km) to reach the worst-hit village in Yunnan on Monday.

周一，中国国务院总理李克强赴云南视察灾情时需徒步“3英里多”(5千米)才能走到受灾最严重的村镇。

A spokesman for UN chief Ban Ki-moon said the secretary-general was "saddened by the loss of life".

联合国秘书长潘基文的发言人称，秘书长对云南地震造成人员伤亡表示悲痛。

South-west China lies in an area that is prone to earthquakes.

中国西南地区处于地震多发带。

An earthquake in Sichuan in 2008 killed tens of thousands of people while a magnitude 7.7 quake in Yunnan in 1970 killed at least 15,000.

2008年四川地震导致几万人遇难，1970年云南7.7级地震遇难人数超过1.5万人。

在我们死后，我们的挚爱可以获得我们的网络账户密码吗？

Should Your Family Get Access To Your Online Accounts When You Die?

Its a question that will eventually—hopefully not soon!—confront you, me, and every other person reading this: Should our loved ones gain access to our digital lives, from email to Instagram to financial accounts, after we die? A cadre of state-appointed lawyers are creating a bill that would allow for just that.

This is one of the more important legal dilemmas of recent years, and only a few states have clear laws on whether, say, a parent should gain access to their childs Facebook if the child dies, or whether a wife should get access to financial information locked in her deceased husbands email account. This week at its annual meeting, the Uniform Law Commission—a Chicago-based group of lawyers who are appointed to write clear and stable language for new legislation—will finalize its recommended language for a law that would give loved ones access to all of your digital accounts after you die. Unless you specify otherwise.

As the AP reports today, the bill would create a legal process for gaining access, which can be incredibly difficult today:

Most people assume they can decide what happens by sharing certain passwords with a trusted family member, or even making those passwords part of their will. But in addition to potentially exposing passwords when a will becomes public record, anti-hacking laws and most companys "terms of service" agreements prohibit anyone from accessing an account that isnt theirs. That means loved ones technically become criminals if they log on to a dead persons account.

And thats assuming they even have the password. Going up against giants like Google makes the process even more difficult. And for a grieving family, it can be all but impossible.

The bill would give access—but not control—to loved ones unless they specifically wrote in their will that they wouldnt allow it.

我以前不懂英语，后来上了幼儿园大班后才知道英语里的hello。在一年级的暑假里，我背过了英语A、B、C等26个字母。二年级时，听说下一年要学英语，我着急了，因为我不知道怎么学英语，后来上了才知道，没有我想象得那么难，英语老师也不凶，还很逗，有时她刚做完的事，转身就忘了。

有人不好好听课时，老师就叽里咕噜，叽里咕噜的，全是英语。

有一次英语课上，一个英语学得不太好的同学，在书上画小人，那个小人画得很好玩，结果被老师发现了。老师叽里咕噜一串英语数落他，逗得我们笑，那个同学摸着脑袋，听不懂老师说啥。

英语课是有趣的，让我懂得了那些美丽的单词。

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！

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。

The Father and His Son

Father had a family of sons who were perpetually quarrelling among themselves. When he failed to heal their disputes by his exhortations, he determined to give them a practical illustration of the evils of disunion; and for this purpose he one day told them to bring him a bundle of sticks. When they had done so, he placed the faggot into the hands of each of them in succession, and ordered them to break it in pieces. They each tried with all their strength, and were not able to do it.

He next unclosed the faggot, and took the sticks separately, one by one, and again put them into their hands, on which they broke them easily. He then addressed them in these words: "My sons, if you are of one mind, and unite to assist each other, you will be as this faggot, uninjured by all the attempts of your enemies; but if you are divided among yourselves, you will be broken as easily as these sticks."

一位父亲有几个孩子，这些孩子时常发生口角。他丝毫没有办法来劝阻他们，只好让他们看看不合群所带来害处的例子。为了达到这个目的，有一天他叫他们替他拿一捆细柴来。当他们把柴带来时，他便先后地将那捆柴放在每一个孩子的手中，吩咐他们弄断这捆柴。他们一个个尽力去试，总是不能成功。

然后他解开那捆柴，一根根地放在他们手里，如此一来，他们便毫不费力地折断了。于是他就告诉他们说：「孩子们!如果你们大家团结一致，互相帮助，你们就像这捆柴一样，不能被你们的敌人折断;但如果你们自行，你们就将和这些散柴一般，不堪一折了。

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。

A man was going to the house of some rich person. As he went along the road, he saw a box of good apples at the side of the road. He said, "I do not want to eat those apples; for the rich man will give me much food; he will give me very nice food to eat." Then he took the apples and threw them away into the dust.

He went on and came to a river. The river had become very big; so he could not go over it. He waited for some time; then he said, "I cannot go to the rich mans house today, for I cannot get over the river."

He began to go home. He had eaten no food that day. He began to want food. He came to the apples, and he was glad to take them out of the dust and eat them.

Do not throw good things away; you may be glad to have them at some other time.

【译文】

一个人正朝着一个富人的房子走去，当他沿着路走时，在路的一边他发现一箱好苹果，他说：“我不打算吃那些苹果，因为富人会给我更多的食物，他会给我很好吃的东西。”然后他拿起苹果，一把扔到土里去。

他继续走，来到河边，河涨水了，因此，他到不了河对岸，他等了一会儿，然后他说：“今天我去不了富人家了，因为我不能渡过河。”

他开始回家，那天他没有吃东西。他就开始去找吃的，他找到苹果，很高兴地把它们从尘土中翻出来吃了。

不要把好东西扔掉，换个时候你会觉得它们大有用处。

有两个贫苦的樵夫靠上山捡柴糊口，有一天，他们在山里发现两大包棉花，两人喜出望外。棉花轻且贵，当下俩人各背了一包棉花赶路回家。

There once were two poor woodsmen who made a living by collecting woods in the mountain。 One day， they happened to discover two large bag of cotton in the mountain and felt surprisingly happy。 The cotton was light but valuable， so they carried it on their back and went back home。

走着走着，其中一名樵夫眼尖，看到山路上扔着一大捆布，他就和同伴商量。扔下棉花，背布回家。他的同伴却有不同的看法，认为自己背着棉花已走了一大段，到了这里丢下棉花，岂不枉费了先前的辛苦，坚持不愿换布。发现布的樵夫则尽其所能背起布走。又走了一段路，背布的樵夫望见不远处的地上散落着数坛黄金。心想这下真的发财了，赶忙用挑柴的扁担挑黄金。他的同伴仍是不愿丢下棉花，并怀疑黄金不是真的。发现黄金的樵夫只好自己挑了两坛黄金，和背棉花的伙伴赶紧回家。

When they were walking home， one of the woodsmen spotted a large bundle of cloth beside the road。 So he discussed with his partner whether to discard the cotton and take the cloth instead。 But his partner held a different view that since he had carried the cotton for such a long way， he would not change it with cloth because all his previous effort would turn out to be in vain。 Therefore， the other woodsman abandoned the cotton and carried the cloth on his back。 After walking for a while， the woodsman who carried the cloth spotted several jars of gold disseminated on the ground not far away。 He felt so thrilled that he was going to be a wealthy man。 So he gave up the cloth and used his carrying pole to carry two jars of gold， while his partner was still reluctant to abandon the cotton and wondering whether the gold was real or not。

谁知道刚走到山下。天竟下起雨来，俩人在空旷处被淋了个透。更为不幸的是，背棉花的樵夫背上的棉花，吸饱了雨水。重得背不动，实在不得已，只能丢下一路辛苦舍不得放弃的棉花，空着手和挑金子的同伴回家去了。

However， when they just went down to the foot of the mountain， it began to rain all of a sudden。 Both of them were wet from head to toes。 More unfortunately， the woodsman who carried the cotton found that his cotton had absorbed tons of water and became so heavy that he could no longer go on carrying it。 Desperately， he had to abandon the cotton and went back home empty—handed with his partner carrying gold。

在人生的每个关键时刻，谨慎地运用智慧，做最正确的选择，同时别忘了及时审视选择的角度，适时调整。要学会从各个不同的角度全面研究问题，放掉无谓的固执。冷静地用开放的心胸做正确抉择。每次正确无误的抉择将指引你走在通往成功的坦途上。

This story implies that we should deliberately utilize our wisdom and intelligence to make the right choice in face of every critical point in our life。 Meantime， we should not forget to review all the choices we have carefully and adjust our goal accordingly。 We should learn to view a certain issue from different angles and avoid being stubborn。 By opening your mind to the right choice， you will be guided to a smoother way to success。
