In school,we have summer vacation.In summer,the weather is so hot that our

brain needs a rest after a period of hard work.Thus it is for health reasons

that we have our summer vacation.

There are many kinds of sports,which are good for health in summer,such as

swimming,tennis and baseball.But care should be taken not to practice such

sports all day long,which would be very bad for our health.

Another point we have to consider is that our time should not be spent

entirely in playing.We attend school in order to get some knowledge,which will

be useful in our life

One day three men got a bottle of wine. But the wine was not enough for the

three and each of them wanted to drink the wine alone. Then they all agreed that

they each would draw a snake on the ground and the one who first finished

drawing would be given the wine. So they began to draw on the ground with

sticks.

It was not long before one of the three finished drawing his snake. He took

up the bottle of wine with pride. He was about to drink when he found the other

two were still busy with their drawings. “How slow you are!” said he, “I can

even add feet to my snake before you finish yours.” He put down the bottle and

began to add feet to his snake. But before he finished, another man took hold of

the bottle and said ,“Ive finished. Snakes have no feet, so yours is not a

snake.” With these words he drank up the wine.

There are varied ways of defining tourism. Some people regard it as a pollution-free industry; others think of it an invisible school, Both are based on an accepted fact that tourism cannot only produce profits bearing no pollution along with, but help broaden knowledge and fortify healthy. Aside from the above there exists awidespread theory, claiming that whatever is of the ability to increase in capital belongs to productive industry. In this sense, tourism should hold a position in the scope and ought to be treated as such.

It is true that there is some sense in the theory, yet another equally or even more important aspect should be granted more publicity to. Tourism, in terms of its objective purposes, has a social function which contributes to human communication. Coming from vadous social backgrounds, having motives and goals of every kind, tourists get together, draw close and exchange ideas of their own, from which a fresh state of mind will be created. So what kind of production is it? To the question we should have good reason to give a proper answer: it is a spirit production, a reproduction of relations of production. And the more frequently such exchanges are made, the more good they will do to promoting social and economic development of the mutual. If it is the case that making money through tourism means a dent we have made, so it foretells a fortune to provide cultural service along with tourism. Therefore, to keep close eyes on the latter involves changing our minds first, that is, tourism is by no means a pure economic concept, but takes plenty of ideological activities as its content.

To sum up, unlike other economic forms, the profits from tourism economy cannot be measured completely by means of how much output value, profit, and foreign exchange it will produce. In addition to the reputation of pollution-free industry, its social and far-reaching profit should be probed more deeply. As such the existing scenic spots ought to be kept in good maintenance, and some new ones exploited. Moreover, constructing first-class soft and hard surroundings is desired to attract tourists, the foreign and the domestic.

有不同的方式定义旅游。一些人认为这是一个无污染的产业;其他人则认为它的一个看不见的学校,都是基于一个公认的事实,旅游不能只一起产生利润轴承没有污染,但帮助拓宽知识和增强健康。除了上述存在awidespread理论,声称任何增加资本的能力属于生产行业。从这个意义上讲,旅游业应该在范围和位置应该被视为这样的人。

确实有某种意义上的理论,另一个同样甚至更重要方面应该给予更多的宣传。旅游,在客观方面的目的,有一个社会功能,有助于人际交往。来自vadous社会背景,动机和目标的,游客聚在一起,走近和交换自己的想法,这将会创建一个新的心境。那么什么样的生产是吗?这个问题我们应该有充分的理由给予一个合适的答案:它是一种精神生产,生产关系的再生产。而这些交流越频繁,越好他们会相互的促进社会和经济发展。如果它是通过旅游途径赚钱的情况下削弱我们,所以它预示财富提供文化服务以及旅游。因此,为了保持密切关注后者涉及先改变我们的思想,也就是说,旅游绝不是一个纯经济的概念,但需要大量的思想活动,其内容。

总之,与其他经济形式,旅游经济的利润不能完全通过测量输出值多少,利润和外汇就会产生。除了无污染的行业的声誉,其社会和深远的利润应该更深入地探索。因此现有景区应该保持良好的维护,和一些新的剥削。此外,建设一流的软、硬需要环境来吸引游客,外国和国内。

True Happiness

"Life,liberty and the pursuit of happiness." The authors of the American Declaration proclaimed happiness to be one of the essential rights that make life worth living.William James,the first American psychologist,echoed this emphasis on happiness:"If we were to ask the question:What is human lifes chief concern?One of the answers we should receive would be:It is happiness." Every philosophical and religious system has offered its pathway to happiness for the individual and the group.Happiness has been related to pleasure,refuge from pain,intellectual contemplation,union with God,friendship,children,wealth,honor,successful activity,and even state burial with statues!Today,scientists have joined the dialogue to seek answers about what contributes to happiness or,as they call it,"subjective well-being".

If happiness is activity in accordance with excellence,it is reasonable that it should be in accordance with the highest excellence.– Aristotle The concept of happiness--while difficult to define-- is obviously here to stay.But the desire for happiness can set up expectations that are often hard to fulfill.The right to pursue happiness was conceived of as an inalienable right; the entitlement that everyone be happy was never promised.As captured by Eric Hoffer,a misguided search we hope to provide a framework that will guide you in your personal pursuit of happiness. 真正的快乐

“生活、自由和追求幸福的权利.”研究报告的撰写者们宣布美国声明是一个幸福的基本权利,让生活有价值.威廉·詹姆斯,第一个美国心理学家,回荡强调幸福:"如果我们问这个问题:“什么是人类的生活的主要关心的事吗?答案之一我们应该接受应该是:“这是happiness.”哲学和宗教系统都提供了它的通往个人和幸福

sport fan, but my passion on sports is much stronger. I am interested in

watching all kinds of sports, besides basketball, tennis, volleyball and other

sports are favored by me. Though I am a girl, I play many sports in the school.

My classmates admire me. I feel so proud of myself of being different. Whats

playground. I also learn to be patient and persistent, which helps me a lot in

my study.

在我的记忆中，虽然我的家乡是个小城镇，但是很美丽。当我还小的时候，我喜欢在河里抓鱼，河水是如此的干净以至于我能看到河里的鱼。由于抵挡不住对家乡的思念，上周，我回到了家乡，我发现我记忆中的城市再也不是它原来的样子了。树没以前的多，道路变得宽阔，然而河道却变得窄些了，我看到河中有一些死掉的鱼，河水是如此的脏，河流污染是如此的严重!我无法相信眼前的一切，美丽的家乡被污染给破坏了，人们的贪念导致了这个结果，他们为了追求利益，不惜以牺牲环境为代价。我希望人们能注意保护环境，这也是在保护他们自己。

As time goes by, there are going to be big changes in our everyday life. For example, when we are hungry, we dont need to cook in a hurry. Just take some pills, and everything will be OK. When we are free, we can go anywhere by spacecraft. It will be very cheap, just like taking a taxi now. And of course, if we want to see what is like under the sea, just travel down there in a flying object like UFO. Maybe there will be a lot of cities and people living there. I think itll be very easy to travel anywhere, not only in our world, but also in space and in the deep sea.

烟里有一种对人身体不好的东西——尼古丁。

一枝香烟中的尼古丁可以毒死一只小白鼠，25g的香烟里的尼古丁可 毒死几头牛，40至60毫克纯尼古丁可以毒死一个人。

尼古丁的危害也是相当的大，它可以引起胃痛或其它胃病;还会使人引起心律不正诱发心脏病;严重的还可能引起癌症的爆发。

香烟是隐藏在我们身边的隐形杀手，是大家所应警惕的。

据科学家测定，烟草中含有数百种复杂的化学成分，大部分对人体有害，其中焦油、尼古丁、酚类、醇类、酸类、醛类等40种是有毒和有致癌作用的物质。烟在点燃后，所产生的烟雾，包含了烟草中所有的化学成分，同时比烟草本身又增加了一些有害物质，如一氧化碳和烟焦油等。这是因为除烟草本身外，在制成卷烟的过程中，要在原料中加入一些可可、甘草、糖、甘油、乙二醇等调味、湿润、产香、助燃物质。这些添加剂虽然本身无害，但在燃烧过程中却起了变化。例如，在鼠背涂上可可燃烧后产生的烟油，可长出皮肤瘤。甘草中的甘草酸在燃烧后，与其他成分化合，可生成有致癌作用的多环芳烃。糖与烟草一起燃烧后增加了焦油量，而糖燃烧后的产物是烟中的一个重要致癌物。甘油和乙二醇在燃烧后的物质，不但可能使吸烟者患膀胱癌，而且所产生的丙烯醛可抑制气管和纤毛分泌物从肺内排出，从而增加患气管炎和肺气肿的机会，并使患有这两种病的人病情加重。

烟对人的危害是多么大啊!所以我们不能吸烟。杜绝吸烟，造福后人。

Recently, it has been reported that a college student went to Guangzhou for

travel, but she missed, finally, the policeman found her body. It is so

terrible, this incident warns people to protect themselves, especially for the

girls. First, we’d better travel with friends. Traveling alone is very popular

among the young people, because they are independent and chase for freedom, so

they like to go without friends. Then they are easily becoming the gangster’s

targets. Therefore, having someone accompany not only can share the opinion, but

also can be safe. Second, it is better not to go to the place which is dark and

less people. The bad guys like to choose this place because they will not be

noticed and are easy to do the criminal things. We need to learn to protect

ourselves, life is precious.

Seasons have colors. What are the four seasons colors like?

Spring is green. When spring comes, trees begin to bud and grass begin to

grow. It is really a green world, and it is also the color of hope.What about

summer? When I look at flowers of almost all kinds in blossom, I know that the

color of summer is red.Compared with summer, autumn is totally different color,

especially in the north of our country. The rice in the fields and fruits on the

branches are the signals of autumn. It is the color filled with ripeness. Gold

is the symbol of harvest.Winter is the world of snow. Therefore, white is the

color of winter.

Seasons have colors and the changing of the four seasons makes the land

colorful and energetic.

Nowadays,

with the development of computer, the function of computer has developed,

too. We can use computer to check the instant news, make friend and so on. The

reason why so many people addict to computer is that they like to play the

computer games, there are all kinds of computer games, everyone can find a game

which is suitable to him. Too much involve in the computer games is wasting

time, we should control our habit. First, we must set the limit time on it, wed

better not to play the game over an hour. We have to tell ourselves that we must

stop playing when the time is up, we have another thing to do. Second, we should

go out with friends often, so we can communicate with others, it makes our mind

not focus on the computer games. I am not saying we should not play computer

games, but we should not addict to it.

When I was a naughty boy, may be because of the influence of the film "Xiao

Bing Zhang Ga", my dream was to be a soldier just like Zhang Ga. I thought if I

was a soldier, I should be able to swim, dive and climb trees as he did. It

seemed to be very wonderful. So I began to learn swimming, diving and climbing

trees. I practiced every day and finally I could do them well. But when I

entered junior high school and had the military training. I suddenly found that

being a soldier was very difficult and I wasnt strong enough tobear it. I had

to give my dream up.

But I wasnt discouraged, and I had a new aim, which was to be a postman,

or rather to be a newspaper boy. As a newspaper boy. I could speed along streets

on a bike and throw newspapers onto every porch. Thats also very cool. So I

started learning to ride a bicycle. After the everyday practice, I could go very

fast by bicycle. But to my disappointment, the job which I wanted only existed

in western counties not in China, because there was no porch in China. And

Chinese postmen had to stuff very thick newspapers into very small mailboxes

from very narrow entrances. The job was far from what I had expected. So once

again my dream fell through.

The years are long, and my dreams are still there; In the mottled memory of

life, there are bound to be twists and turns and hardships in the middle. When

you encounter setbacks, do you face it calmly, or do you avoid it?

In fact, setbacks are a valuable asset in life. When we are in adversity,

it is the process of accumulating wealth.

Setbacks are the cornerstone of the road to success. Learning to accept

setbacks and accepting reality will inspire fighting spirit and move forward

bravely. Just like President Lincoln, he faced adversity in his life, 8

elections and 8 failures, but it is precisely because of his selflessness,

fearlessness and courage to face that he succeeded and fulfilled his personal

dreams. Indeed, only by being brave enough to accept setbacks and constantly

accumulating life experience can we reap the first pot of gold in life.

Frustration is the lubricant of life. When the wheel of life is driving on

the rough trails, the thorns of the roadside become our obstacles. Its like the

journey of life on the sea, suddenly encountering violent storms; when the young

butterfly breaking its cocoon into a butterfly breaks its wings... There is

always a little unsatisfactory in life, as Tagore said: "God is entirely to

strengthen our will, Thats why we set up many obstacles on our way." But at the

same time as we lost, we gained the confidence and courage to deal with

setbacks, so that we can continue to improve and improve.

Setbacks are a poem in life, and inspiration after facing the difficulties

in life. Although the poet Qu Yuan is full of talent and loyalty, he encounters

the faint-hearted King Huai of Chu; Yue Fei drives his army north, vowing to

attack Huanglong and restore the Central Plains, but he is recalled to Linan by

twelve gold medals. These insightful people have experienced setbacks and

regrets. Qu Yuan sang the eternal quatrain of "Long too much breath to cover up

tears, mourning how difficult the peoples life is", full of the poets great

feelings, interpreting the deepest call of the poets soul. So frustration

exudes a kind of poetic beauty, a flicker of the spiritual light of beauty, and

a beautiful spark of free spirit flying in the vast world.

Frustration is a key to interpreting life. Life is like climbing a

mountain. In this mountain, there is never a shortage of people who climb it,

but some people give up halfway and see only a small piece of scenery around

them; Small", harvest the most beautiful scenery. When life encounters setbacks,

only persistence is the shortcut to success.

Frustration has two sides. If we see it as an ugly garment, then we are

really blocking its light; if we see it as a strong cloth, then we will walk

forward and not. Fear of restraint. Therefore, we should treat setbacks

correctly, because we always believe that adversity makes talents.

Learn to face setbacks. When we encounter setbacks, we will have more

indifference in our hearts. Setbacks are not terrible, but will bring us

strength and courage, which is an indispensable wealth in life.

This summer holiday, I had travelled to Hong Kong with many other students. We went to Hong Kong by plane. Hong Kong is very small, but there are many people living there.

In Hong Kong, all of the buildings are very tall. There are lots of shops there and you can go shopping until about 11:00 at night. In Hong Kong, things are very expensive, so we only bought a few souvenirs.

We went to lots of places, such as the Avenue of Stars and Ocean Park. I like Ocean Park best. The park is very big. Sitting in the cable car, you can see two hills, lots of different flowers and the sea. Some students were afraid of sitting in the cable car!

We stayed in the Shu Ren College. There are many big trees around it. We had meals in the restaurants, but I didnt like the food.

Hong Kong is very beautiful. I like Hong Kong and I hope to go there again some day.

Today the quality of our natural environment has become an important issue. The world population is rising so quickly that the world has become too crowded. We are using up our natural resources and at the same time polluting our environment with dangerous chemicals. If we continue to do this, life on earth cannot survive. Concerned people have made some progress in environmental protection. Governments of many countries have established laws to protect the air, forests and sea resources and to stop environmental pollution.

Still more measures should be taken to solve environmental problems. People should be further educated to recognize the importance of the problems, to use modern methods of birth control, to conserve our natural resources and recycle our products. We are sure that we can have a better and cleaner place in the future.

今天,我们的自然环境质量已经成为一个重要的问题。世界人口增长如此之快,世界已变得过于拥挤。我们正在利用我们的自然资源,同时与危险化学品污染我们的环境。如果我们继续这样做,地球上的生命将无法生存。关注人在环境保护方面取得了一些进展。许多国家的政府已建立法律来保护空气,森林和海洋资源并停止环境污染。

更应该采取措施解决环境问题。人们应该进一步受过教育的认识到问题的重要性,使用现代避孕方法,来保护我们的天然资源和循环利用我们的产品。我们确信我们能在未来有更好的和更清洁的地方。

Xiao Hong is going to learn to ride bicycles. She is on the bike and ready

to ride when her father, mother and grandmother come and help her.Her father

holds one handle of the bike, and her mother holds the other,with a first-aid

box on the shoulder. Her grandmother holds the back seat tightly. They are all

wet with sweat. However, the bike is being moved not by Xiao Hong herself but by

her parents and grandmother. "Let me do it myself, will you?" says Xiao Hong to

them. From this picture, we can see how much the parents care for the children.

In my opinion, it is right that parents should take care of their children. But

as children, we need the chance to learn and practice some skills by ourselves.

We need to grow up independently. Let us do it ourselves.

On a sunny day, Xiao Hong is learning to ride bicycles. She is about to

ride when her parents and grandmother come and help her. They hold the handles

and the back seat. Her mother carries a first-aid box on the shoulder. They look

worried and are all wet with sweat. The bike moves ahead. However, it is driven

not by Xiao Hong but by her parents and grandmother. "Let me do it myself, will

you?" says Xiao Hong to them. In fact, the parents love their children very

much. I agree that parents should take good care of their children, but parents

shouldnt help them do everything. After all children need to practice and be

independent. They need to grow up themselves. Parents should stand aside and let

them do if they can do it themselves.

i never considered myself unique, but people are constantly telling me, "you are a miracle." to me, i was just an ordinary "guy" with realistic goals and big dreams. i was a 19-year-old student at the university of texas and well on my way toward fulfilling my "big dream" of one day becoming an orthopedic surgeon.

我从未觉得自己与众不同，但人们常对我说：“你的生命是个奇迹。”对我而言，我只是一个普通人，有着现实的目标和远大的理想。我曾是德克萨斯大学一名十九岁的大学生，在通向理想之路上信步前行，梦想有一天我会成为一名整形外科医生。

on the night of february 17, 1981 i was studying for an organic chemistry test at the library with sharon, my girlfriend of three years. sharon had asked me to drive her back to her dormitory as it was getting quite late. we got into my car, not realizing that just getting into a car would never quite be the same for me again. i quickly noticed that my gas gauge was registered on empty so i pulled into a nearby convenience store to buy 2.00 worth of gas. "ill be back in two minutes," i yelled at sharon as i closed the door. but instead, those two minutes changed my life forever.

1981年2月17日的晚上，我和交往三年的女友沙伦在为有机化学测试做准备。因为太晚了，沙伦叫我驾车把她送回宿舍。我们钻进汽车，谁能想到在今后的生命中我不能再如此矫健地重复这样一个简单的动作。我很快发现油表空了，于是我把车泊在附近的一家便利店旁，想买两块钱的汽油。“我两分钟就回来，”我关上车门朝沙伦喊到。但就是这短短的两分钟改变了我一生的命运，永远地改变了。

entering the convenience store was like entering the twilight zone. on the outside i was a healthy, athletic, pre-med student, but on the inside i was just another statistic of a violent crime. i thought i was entering an empty store, but suddenly i realized it was not empty at all. three robbers were in the process of committing a robbery and my entrance into the store caught them by surprise. one of the criminals immediately shoved a .38 caliber handgun to my head, ordered me to the cooler, pushed me down on the floor, and pumped a bullet into the back of my head -- execution style. he obviously thought i was dead because he did not shoot me again. the trio of thieves finished robbing the store and left calmly.

进入这家便利店就如同踏上了阴阳间的奈何桥，门外的我还是个健康的，活蹦乱跳的未婚大学生，而门内的我却成了暴力犯罪的又一个牺牲品。我还以为店里没有人，但我突然发现我错了——有三个匪徒正在打劫这家店，而我的进入让他们有些惊慌失措。其中一个匪徒迅速掏出一把口径为38毫米的手枪用力指着我的头，勒令我走到冷冻机旁，然后把我推倒在地，像执行死刑般从后面朝我头部开了一枪。他没再朝我开第二枪，显然他以为我死了。打劫完后三个劫匪逃之夭夭。

meanwhile, sharon wondered why i had not returned. after seeing the three men leave the store she really began to worry as i was the last person she saw entering the store. she quickly went inside to look for me, but saw no one-only an almost empty cash register containing one check and several pennies. quickly she ran down each aisle shouting, "mike, mike!"

与此同时，沙伦对我的不归忧心忡忡。看到这三个匪徒离开便利店后她真的很担心，因为我是她见到的最后一个进入店里的人。她赶快跑进店来找我，只见几乎被一扫而空的收银机上挂着一张帐单，还有几枚硬币散落在上面，四周无人。她在货架间飞快地跑着、喊着：“迈克，迈克!”

just then the attendant appeared from the back of the store shouting, "lady, get down on the floor. ive just been robbed and shot at!"

这时一名服务员从店后面走出来叫到：“小姐，过来一下，我刚才被打劫了，他们还向我开了枪。”

sharon quickly dropped to the floor screaming, "have you seen my boyfriend? he has auburn hair." the man did not reply but went back to the cooler where he found me choking on my vomit. the attendant quickly cleaned my mouth and then called for the police and an ambulance.

沙伦跌跌撞撞地过来哭喊到：“你见到我的男朋友了吗?长褐色头发的。” 那人默默走到冷冻机旁，找到了我，此时呕吐快令到我窒息了。他赶忙帮我擦干了嘴，叫了警察和救护车。

sharon was in shock. she was beginning to understand that i was hurt, but she could not begin to comprehend or imagine the severity of my injury.

沙伦被吓坏了。渐渐地她才明白我受伤了，但是她根本想象不到伤势的严重性。

when the police arrived they immediately called the homicide division as they did not think i would survive and the paramedic reported that she had never seen a person so severely wounded survive. at 1:30 a.m. my parents who lived in houston, were awakened by a telephone call from brackenridge hospital advising them to come to austin as soon as possible for they feared i would not make it through the night.

警察来了，他们很快断定是杀人案，因为没人相信我还能活过来，而救护人员说她从来没有见过伤势如此严重的人可以逃离死劫。下午一点半，我住在奥斯汀的父母被来自布莱肯瑞吉医院的电话铃惊醒，医院通知他们尽快赶到奥斯汀，因为他们认为我熬不过当晚了。

but i did make it through the night and early in the morning the neurosurgeon decided to operate. however, he quickly informed my family and sharon that my chances of surviving the surgery were only 40/60. if this were not bad enough, the neurosurgeon further shocked my family by telling them what life would be like for me if i beat the odds and survived. he said i probably would never walk, talk, or be able to understand even simple commands.

但那晚我挺了过来，第二天清晨神经外科医生决定给我动手术。但他立即告知我的家人和沙伦我存活的机会只有百分之四十。然后他还雪上加霜地告诉我的家人，向他们描述如果我万幸活下来将面临怎样的生活——我可能再也不会走路了，不会说话了，甚至不能理解一些极其简单的命令。这些对我的家人来说都是莫大的打击。

my family was hoping and praying to hear even the slightest bit of encouragement from that doctor. instead, his pessimistic words gave my family no reason to believe that i would ever again be a productive member of society. but once again i beat the odds and survived the three and a half hours of surgery. granted, i still could not talk, my entire right side was paralyzed and many people thought i could not understand, but at least i was stable. after one week in a private room the doctors felt i had improved enough to be transferred by jet ambulance to del oro rehabilitation hospital in houston.

本来家里人祈望能从医生的口中听到一点点鼓励的话，而他悲观的言语让他们没理由相信我还会成为一个对社会有用的人。在经历了三个半小时的手术之后，我再次侥幸地活了下来。医生的话得到了应验，我不能说话，整个右边的身体瘫痪了，许多人认为我变傻了，但至少我身体状况是稳定的。在私人看护病房里呆了一个星期后，医生觉得我已经好转了许多，并可以坐救护飞机转到奥斯汀的德欧洛康复医院。

my hallucinations, coupled with my physical problems, made my prognosis still very bleak. however, as time passed my mind began to clear and approximately six weeks later my right leg began to move ever so slightly. within seven weeks my right arm slowly began to move and at eight weeks i uttered my first few words. my speech was extremely difficult and slow in the beginning, but at least it was a beginning. i was starting to look forward to each new day to see how far i would progress. but just as i thought my life was finally looking brighter i was tested by the hospital euro-psychologist. she explained to me that judging from my test results she believed that i should not focus on returning to college but that it would be better to set more "realistic goals."

意识上的幻觉和生理上的病疾使我的病情预断非常的渺茫。然而时间的飞逝使我的意识开始变得清晰，大约六个星期以后我的右腿可以轻微地活动了，七周以后我的右臂开始缓慢地活动了，八周以后我终于开口说话了。说话对于我非常地艰难并且开始的时候说得很慢，但是总算是开头了。我开始寄希望于新的一天的到来，祈望着新的进步。但正当我以为生活总算初露光明的时候，医院里有个欧洲来的心理学家对我做了测试。她向我解释到，从检测的结果来看她坚信我不能再重返学校，劝我对此不要抱有任何希望，希望我最好树立些更现实点的目标。

upon hearing her evaluation i became furious for i thought, "who is she to tell me what i can or cannot do. she does not even know me. i am a very determined and stubborn person!" i believe it was at that very moment that i decided i would somehow, someday return to college.

她的这番结论让我怒不可遏，“她是谁，凭什么告诉我能做什么或不能做什么。她根本不了解我。我是很坚强而固执的人!”我相信就在那时我决定无论如何，总有一天我会返回学校的。

it took me a long time and a lot of hard work but i finally returned to the university of texas in the fall of 1983 -- a year and a half after almost dying. the next few years in austin were very difficult for me, but i truly believe that in order to see beauty in life you have to experience some unpleasantness. maybe i have experienced too much unpleasantness, but i believe in living each day to the fullest, and doing the very best i can. and each new day was very busy and very full, for besides attending classes at the university i underwent therapy three to five days each week at brackenridge hospital. if this were not enough i flew to houston every other weekend to work with tom williams, a trainer and executive who had worked for many colleges and professional teams and also had helped many injured athletes, such as earl campbell and eric dickerson. through tom i learned: "nothing is impossible and never, never give up or quit."

在经历了一年半垂死挣扎的生活后，在漫长的等待和艰辛的付出后，终于在1983年的秋天，我返回了德克萨斯大学。在奥斯汀接下来的几年里我生活得非常艰难，但我确信为了看到生活中的真善美你必须要经历一些苦难。也许我经历的苦难太多了，但我有一个信念——充实地过每一天，尽力做到最好。日子过的很繁忙、很充实，除了读书，每周我还在要在布莱肯瑞吉医院接受三到五次的治疗。如果这还不够忙的话，我还要隔周和汤姆·威廉斯飞到奥斯汀工作。汤姆是一个教练兼主管，他曾效力于许多大学校队和职业联队，并帮助过许多受伤的运动员，如：厄尔·坎贝尔和艾立克·迪克森。从汤姆的身上我学到“没有什么是不可能的，千万千万不要放弃，永不放弃。”

early, during my therapy, my father kept repeating to me one of his favorite sayings. i have repeated it almost every day since being hurt: "mile by mile its a trial; yard by yard its hard; but inch by inch its a cinch."

早在我接受治疗的时候，父亲总是重复他最爱的那句话，每天当我感到痛苦的时候我也对自己重复那句话，那就是“脚踏实地，切勿急功近利。”

i thought of those words, and i thought of tom, my family and sharon who believed so strongly in me as i climbed the steps to receive my diploma from the dean of liberal arts at the university of texas on that bright sunny afternoon in june of 1986. excitement and pride filled my heart as i heard the dean announce that i had graduated with "highest honors", been elected to phi beta kappa, and been chosen as one of 12 deans distinguished graduates out of 1600 in the college of liberal arts. the overwhelming emotions and feelings that i experienced at that very moment, when most of the audience gave me a standing ovation, i felt would never again be matched in my life-not even when i graduated with a masters degree in social work and not even when i became employed full time at the texas pain and stress center. but i was wrong!

1986年六月那个阳光明媚的午后，当我步履蹒跚地走上德克萨斯大学迪安文学院的台阶接受文凭的时候，我思索着这些话，想到汤姆、父母还有沙伦，他们都那么坚定地给予了我信任。当我听到院长宣布我以最高荣誉毕业时，我的心中充满了骄傲和自信。接着他还宣布我被选入美国大学优等生荣誉学会，并在1600名毕业生中当选为12名迪安文学院的杰出毕业生之一。当场有许多观众站起来为我鼓掌，那一刻令我心潮澎湃、百感交集。我甚至觉得生命中不可能再经历那样的感慨和激情，这种想法一直延续到我获得社会学的硕士学位，成为德克萨斯止痛减压中心的一名全职工作人员。但幸运之神再次眷顾了我!

on may 24, 1987, i realized that nothing could ever match the joy i felt as sharon and i were married. sharon, my high school sweetheart of nine years, had always stood by me, through good and bad times. to me, sharon is my miracle, my diamond in a world filled with problems, hurt, and pain. it was sharon who dropped out of school when i was hurt so that she could constantly be at my side. she never wavered or gave up on me. it was her faith and love that pulled me through so many dark days. while other nineteen year old girls were going to parties and enjoying life, sharon devoted her life to my recovery. that, to me, is the true definition of love. after our beautiful wedding i continued working part time at the pain center and completed my work for a masters degree. we were extremely happy, but even happier when we learned sharon was pregnant.

1987年5月24日，我觉得再没有什么能与此时的快乐相提并论，我和沙伦结婚了。沙伦是我高中时代的女友，风风雨雨九年来，她一直陪在我身旁。对我来说，她是我的奇迹，是我在这个充满困惑和伤痛的世界上拥有的一颗钻石。为了能日夜守侯在我的身旁，沙伦在我受伤的时候放弃了学业。她的爱从未动摇过，她从未抛弃过我。是她的忠诚和爱伴着我度过了无数个黑暗的日子。当别的十九岁的女孩子参加舞会、享受生活的时候，沙伦把青春献给了病床上的我，等待我的康复。对我来说，这就是爱的真谛。在那个美满的婚礼之后，我继续在止痛中心做着兼职的工作，并获得了我的硕士学位。我们非常的幸福，而沙伦怀孕的消息更让我们恩爱有加。

on july 11, 1990 at 12:15 a.m. sharon woke me with the news: "we need to go to the hospital… my water just broke." i couldnt help but think how ironic it was that my life almost ended in a convenience store and now on the date "7-11" we were about to bring a new life into this world. this time it was my turn to help sharon as she had helped me over those past years. she was in labor for 15 hours. at 3:10 p.m. sharon and i experienced the birth of our beautiful daughter, shawn elyse segal! tears of joy and happiness came to my eyes as our healthy, alert, wonderful daughter entered this world. we anxiously counted her 10 fingers and her 10 toes and watched her wide eyes take in the world about her. it was truly a beautiful picture that was etched in my mind forever as she lie in her mothers waiting arms, just minutes after her birth. at that moment i thanked god for blessing us with the greatest miracle of all-shawn elyse segal.

1990年7月11日12点15分，沙伦把我从梦中唤醒：“我们得去医院了……我羊水破了。”我忍不住想命运真让人啼笑皆非，它几乎让我在那家便利店里丢了性命，而在一个命名为“7·11”的日子里它却让我迎来新生命的出世。多年来沙伦帮我度过了一次又一次难关，这次该我来帮助她了。沙伦经历了15个小时的分娩。在3点10分的时候，沙伦和我一起迎来了我们美丽的女儿——萧恩·艾丽斯·斯高。当我看到美丽的女儿健康地来到这个世上，喜悦和幸福化作泪水夺眶而出。我们迫不及待地数着她的十个手指和十只脚趾，看着她大大的眼睛注视着她的世界。初生的婴儿躺在妈妈柔软的怀里如一副优美的图画将永驻我的心中。那一刻，我感谢上帝赐予我们如此最伟大的奇迹——我的萧恩·艾丽斯·斯高。

Time flies like an arrow before we realize it .It is known that nothing is more precious than time. The good old proverb time is money reminds us that time is valuable. When time goes by, it will never return. However, it is a pity that some people dont make full use of their time .They spend a lot of time in sleeping, chatting, playing computer games or other unmeaning matters. . They dont realize that wasting time is actually equal to killing themselves. They always regret not having made great achievements. One of the reasons may be they do not make good use of time. Therefore, in order to be successful, they should first get into the habit of being on time. It’s a sign of cherishing time. Dont put off what can be done today until tomorrow. Being lazy will eventually lead to failure. Dont wait, because you dont know how long it will take when you put off your plan.

In Chinese culture, it is every childs duty to return their parents as

they grow up. The children know their duty and they work hard to give parents a

better life. As a child, I was grateful to my parents as they gave me all their

love, so I made up my mind that I must earn a lot of money and then I could pay

back my parents money. But as I grew up, I realized that money was not that

only way I could return my parents. Whats more, my parents dont care about my

money, and they just want to spend more time with me. When I grow up, I will

move out and probably live far away from them. At that time, if I come home

often, they will be happy. I think every parent just want care from their

children.

Echo,my favourite teacher,is a pretty and slim lady.One of the most

important reason that I like her is that she is very sincere.When she talks to

others,she always has a smile on her face.I think Echo is a natural teacher

beacuse she has a lot of good methods on teaching.She is not only quite

friendly, but also humorous.Her class is full of fun that you have never feel

bored.To improve our grades,she usually gives us some advices about how to learn

English well.Whats more,she sacrificed her own time to help every student,no

thought of gain.Sometimes,she nearly has no time to have lunch.When I ask her

questions,she must spare no effort to make me understand,with patience and

careness.I have never seen such a good teacher as her before.A good teacher can

point out the direction and give you endless strength when you get into

trouble.Im lucky enough to have such a good teacher present to my life. Echo

has a great inflence on me.Im thankful her help very much.
