With the development of the modern technology，private car is no longer a luxurious thing for ordinary people，more and more people drive to work instead of going by bus. The popularization of private car has many advantages.First， it is very convenient and time-saving ，you can drive your own car to the workplace instead of waiting for the crowded bus and afraid of being late for working.Second，it can also improve the traffic structure，and help to mitigate the stress of the traffic.Third， the popularization of private car can help to promote the car industry and any other interrelated industries. I believe that in the future the private car will become the most important vehicle and we cannt live without it.

天蓝白云伴，风轻阳光暖。白的叶，绿的草，专属于美好的绿色校园。当我们正做着自己的事的时候，是否曾设想有一天我们将失去这个美丽的校园?

“课间，当你与同学们在走廊上，操场上聊天，嬉戏时，看到纸屑，不要怕丑，弯腰拾起，没有人会笑你多管闲事。我环保，我美丽!当你看到有人在墙上信笔提书，大练画技时，应当制止。因为你要环保。校园，是如此令人神往，因为它深情灌输着感性与理性交织的思想，让年轻的心从幼稚走向成熟。校园，是如此令人留恋，因为它给予每位学子回忆憧憬的广阔空间，令多少颗失落的心在风雨晨昏中找回自我。青青校园，学子圣地，碧树芳草，一花一木，靠我们全体学子共同呵护，才会春意常在。所以，我们要保护环境，创建美好校园。

绿色校园是美丽的。但她给我们的，更多的是心灵的启迪，思想的陶冶，内在气质的培养。当春天悄然而至，万物复苏，盎然的生机弥漫在树梢。一天的课程结束之后，校园变成我们快乐的游乐园。羽毛球，篮球，乒乓球…。。各个角落空地上都有同学们的嬉笑声……

“学校是我们的家，我们是学校的主人，建设靠的是我们。让我们从点滴做起，爱护校园环境，自我约束，相互检查，明确自身在学校环保工作中的地位。学校绿色需要你，需要我，需要我们大家共同努力。”

It was a very busy evening. I was doing my homework at my home. My father was writing a composition in the study room. My mother was interested in Shanghai opera. She was watching a Shanghai opera contest. The apartment was very quiet. Suddenly the light went out. It was a blackout, but I liked it very much. It came and I didn’t have to do my homework. We went to the living room very slowly. After 5 minutes, we all sat in the sofa. It was a lucky, fortunate day. I said that let’s held a concert. My parents agreed with me. I took out some candles and lighted up. We were singing, laughing and talking. We had a really good time. But while I was singing, the light suddenly turned on. Oh, my God. My father went back to his room went on writing. My mother turned on the TV and said to me “Dear, do your homework!” I felt very frustrated. I sat at the desk and thought I hated light. I hoped there would be a blackout the next day. I thought I would enjoy myself more and more. I went into a dream……

The ancient and modern in China and abroad, nobody all the time is not

making the success dream.The scholar was vainly hoping for obtains the

outstanding academic record; The poor was vainly hoping for the one day on

wealthy small capital life .......The success, is in each individual heart the

loftiest dream.Studies the multitudinous celebritys success experience, always

When Nicolay. Forced the plum to explore in the entire 21 years fable after

My school is at Haimen Town. It is very big and beautiful. There are forty-three classes in it. When you come to our school, you can see the modern teaching building. Our teachers work and do practice in it. Behind the building, there are two classroom buildings and a school library. In the library there are thousands and thousands of books. After class you can borrow the books you want and also you can read them in the reading room at any time. Beside our classroom, there is a big playground. At about 4:30 p.m. every day, many students play football, basketball and some of them play tennis. All the playground is alive.

Responsible travel is differ from the normal travel, people who love responsible travel prefer to protect and close to nature instead of destroying it.They appreciate local culture in many ways, such as hiring a local people to be their travel guide, following a small group and doing some beneficial things for villagers.Ordinarily, we usually take photos to prove we have been here or there.But when we know the responsible travel, we love to assimilate to the place, such as being a volunteer there.

We should be responsible for ourselves and our environment.As far as I am concerned, nothing important than living in a pure environment.

几天前，一位学识渊博的老先生对我说：“你写的书法太过于凌乱，有些轻浮，虚出太多，实处很少，你应当学会虚实结合才对！”我茫然的点了点头，他随即就给我做示范，写下了大大的三个字“思且行”。“思”字，稳重而不呆板;“且”字，巍巍而立;“行”字，苍劲有力，如山间老松，正面朝阳。这三字，不乏浓墨之处，也略带虚笔，所谓虚实结合，恰到好处。老先生言传身教，让我领会了不少。

生活中的琐碎小事，让我一刻也不能停止思考，季羡林说人生时时、处处都得思考果然不虚。在同学、玩伴中，我自命是一个“实”的人：做事本本分分，做人实实在在。学校老师安排的任务，家里爸妈吩咐的事情，总会想着一个“实”字来解决，但也总避免不了会出差错。因此时时会有这样、那样的小烦恼。然而，想到还有比我更实的人，在做着比我更本分的事，胸中的恼怒也就少了些。

既然我看中了“实”，那就会多了些“敌人”，与实相对的就是“虚”，看中“虚”的人就不乐意我了，因为我常常堵住了他们的嘴，让他们说出些“懒得和你说！”、“和你没有共同语言”之类的触及心灵的话语。他们说多了，也很烦、很累;我听得多了，压力也大。

单说“虚”，在我心中却，没有一个明确的概念可言，若真要强加一个定义，那就用“虚假”来谈吧，说直白点就是耍小聪明、不做好自己事的人;补服从安排不务正业的人，在我心中统统都是虚假的。他们常常有办不完的事，不论是好事，或是坏事。

再者，虚假的人大都是做事前大肆渲染自己的学问有多深、才能有多高，做事时却处处抱怨外部条件，怨天尤人，总之就是做不好事。但是他们也有独特的优点，那就是适时的幼稚：校园走廊上、树荫花园边以至于教室窄窄的巷道里，总少不了有他们的欢声笑语。笑，代表了他们内心的喜悦，时时处在幸福之中，不会顾及到下一步的忧患祸福、多么天真浪漫！我羡慕他们的那种心态，而那种心态，那种感觉在几年前就远离了我。

母亲出门打工也有些岁月了，她叫我放假时去她那儿耍，我和着笑答应了。

看到母亲的那一刻，我心中不禁一颤：眉头上的皱纹增多了，面颊瘦削、泛黄。她叫我时，我分明听见了她沙哑的声音，已不再是我童真时代、教我唱《世上只有妈妈好》的音乐天使般的声音了。

她告诉我她今天只上半天班，下班很早，怕我无聊，叫我和她一块去。怀着对外面精彩世界的憧憬，我欣然去了。

我和她走进一个黑暗的幽长车间，她告诉我这就是她工作的厂房，里面充斥着一股刺鼻的油味。接着看见了一些工人在打扫厂房卫生，旁边站着一个神气的、穿着西装的中年男人，他正在厉声呵斥着，见我妈妈来了，先是责备她来晚了，若是看见哪儿没弄好，便是痛骂。妈妈对我说这就是她的生活，她已经习惯了。

我不再笑了，表情沉得跟木头似的。想起工厂的场景，不觉有些害怕。

我开始厌弃热闹，喜欢清静、独处，因为只有那个时候我才会静心思考，思考自己的得失。对于别人无端制造的笑声，我尤为憎恨、唾弃，以为是无稽的，我当然不会笑，众人就会面面相觑，猜忌我的内心，时间长了，也就明了了我。所以，他们认为我是无聊的、毫无情趣的，和我没有话说就不言而喻了，这就为我的孤独添了重重的一笔。

看见同学打成一片、笑成一团，唯独我喜欢特殊，不知自己是否落于人后。背后多有议论我古怪之类的，我也能理解。我很迷茫了：我还要坚守我的“实”吗？“虚”固然浅薄，但不可不有，“虚”人人有之，独我拒之于门外，就会有人看不起我，更不会有人理解我、懂我。若是以“实”为本质，“虚”为表现，那人们会不会透过表现看到本质呢？

还记得在书上看到了这样一句话：完美人生，应当虚实结合。现在想想，确实如此，自己还处于人生的起步，懂得也还不算太晚。

元旦放假了。这是新的一年的开始，我想自己来安排我的元旦假日。以前，所有的节假日都是由爸爸妈妈来安排的，我的大多数时间都是在上各类补习班，根本没有自由支配的时间。这一次，我一定要争取——我的元旦我做主!

其实，对怎样过一个有意义的元旦，我早就有想法了，只是，这个计划的实现还需要爸爸妈妈的帮助。因为爸爸妈妈都是律师，我经常看到一些犯罪的案例：子女不孝顺父母，把年迈的父母赶出家门;发生交通事故后肇事者逃跑;骑车的人跌进无盖的窨井，受伤后得不到赔偿;因一点小纠纷大打出手;盗窃、抢劫乃至杀人、放火……这一个个触目惊心的案例令我痛心，这些违法的人都是法盲呀!就是因为不懂法，他们才走上了犯罪的道路。如果我们从小就增强法律意识，遇事有清晰的明辨是非的能力，就不会去做违法的事，也不会走上犯罪的道路了。为此，我决定这个元旦约上几个好朋友，让爸爸妈妈给我们讲一些法律知识，我们还可以上街发一些关于法律方面的宣传资料，让所有的人都增强法治观念，减少犯罪。

我把自己的想法告诉了爸爸妈妈，立刻得到了他们的大力支持。爸爸妈妈不但给我们讲了许多法律知识，为了支持我的“工作”，还在街上支起了义务咨询台，爸爸妈妈在寒风中为群众解答法律知识，解决法律难题，而我和小伙伴们一边散发宣传资料，一边告诉别人我们刚学到的法律知识。遇到解决不了的问题，我们就把他们领到爸爸妈妈的法律咨询台前，让爸爸妈妈帮忙解决。

看着厚厚的宣传资料一点点减少，看着拿到资料的人认真学习的样子，看着难题得到解决的人们满意而归的样子，我们也高兴极了。回到学校，我一定要让同学们也一起学习一些法律知识，从小培养法治观念，增强法律意识。大家一起行动起来，与违法犯罪斗争到底。让我们的生活中不再有犯罪现象，让我们的生活更加安定、和谐，更加幸福、美好!——

我的元旦我做主，我的元旦过得真有意义!

Everyone needs a friend, because we are not the only one in the world. We

need someone to talk to and share our happiness and sorrow. Last night, I saw a

movie, the protagonist’s friend asked him what was a friend, and he gave the

answer that a friend was someone you can talk about your secret and you would

share food with. It is a child’s opinion, and it is simple and real. A friend is

someone who we can trust, we don’t have to hide ourselves and just who we are.

We will feel comfortable with them. When we are in trouble, we will think of

them and they will come to help.

1、早上起床时间控制在6点至6点半左右，然后马上去做一下运动，大概持续到7点钟(适当的运动有助于大脑血液循环)。然后你吃一下早餐等等的。

2、上午时间大可不必疯狂地做作业。你可以先看一些英文的书(课外的，但是适合初中生的)，那样有助于培养语感、积累词汇;然后(大概10点)你可以看一些文学类的课外书(当然不是英文的了)。适当地让自己有一个闲适的生活状态。

再说一下，你可以有针对地看书，上午你也可以看一些自己较弱的学科的书

3、下面说说下午的任务(忘记说了，午饭之前你也可以去运动一下)。下午，人的一般注意力不太容易集中，那么你可以做一些暑假作业，注重理解。因为下午背的东西，一般都不太容易记住。

4、晚上，你不必太紧张，如果稍微勤奋点的话，你可以再做做作业;但我觉得晚上大可以看一下课外书，看一些新闻，或许去散散步。到8、9点时就可以睡觉了

5、总的来说，你一天要有9-10小时的睡眠时间，劳逸结合，才可以有较好的状态去迎接初三。我们一起努力吧!加油!

Should students make friends on line ?

Some people say yes.The internet helps make many friends.Chatting on line，students can more freely express their feelings and opinions，and even get help with their foreign language studies .

Others，however，think students should not.They say making friends on line is a waste of time，which should be spent more meaningfully on study.Besides，some students get cheated on line .

It is my opinion that students should place their study，health and safety before other things.As for friendship，we can readily find it in our classmates and other people around us .

有人说是的，互联网帮助很多朋友，网上聊天，学生可以更自由地表达他们的感情和意见，甚至得到帮助，他们的外语学习。

然而，其他人认为学生不应该，他们说在网上交朋友是浪费时间，应该花更多的时间在学习上。

我认为学生应该把学习、健康和安全放在其他事情之前，至于友谊，我们可以很容易地在同学和周围的人身上找到。

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。
