早在几天前，街道上就摆满了粽子，到处飘散着粽子的清香。今天终于可以吃到妈妈做的香喷喷的粽子了。因为端午节到来了。

As early as a few days ago, the streets were filled with zongzi, and the

fragrance of zongzi wafted everywhere. Today, I can finally eat the delicious

zongzi made by my mother. Because the Dragon Boat Festival is coming.

妈妈真是了不起，能做出好几种不同味道的粽子，有红枣粽子、豆子粽子、蛋黄粽子，还有我最喜欢吃的肉粽子。粽子刚一出锅，我和哥哥便你争我抢，生怕自己少吃了一个。

My mother is really amazing. She can make several kinds of zongzi with

different tastes, including red date zongzi, bean zongzi, egg yolk zongzi, and

my favorite meat zongzi. As soon as zongzi is out of the pot, my brother and I

will fight for it from you for fear that we will eat one less.

正当我们准备把粽子送入嘴里的时候，爸爸走了过来，微笑着说：”你们知道端午节为什么要吃粽子吗?“我们异口同声地回答：”为了纪念屈原!“”对!那你们知道为什么要纪念他呢?“我和哥哥你

看着我，我望着你，直摇头。”在春秋时期，爱国诗人屈原眼看自己的祖国被侵略，心如刀割，但又不忍舍弃自己的祖国，所以在五月初五抱石投汨罗江身死。以后，在每年的五月初五，就有了赛龙舟

、吃粽子的风俗，以此来纪念爱国诗人屈原。

Just as we were about to put zongzi into our mouths, Dad came over and

smiled and said, "do you know why we eat Zongzi on Dragon Boat Festival?" we all

replied in unison, "in memory of Qu Yuan!" "yes! Then why do you remember him?"

my brother and I looked at me and I looked at you and shook our heads. " In the

spring and Autumn period, Qu Yuan, a patriotic poet, saw his motherland being

invaded and his heart was cut like a knife, but he could not bear to give up his

motherland, so he threw stones into Miluo River on the fifth day of May and

died. Later, on the fifth day of May every year, there was the custom of dragon

boat racing and eating zongzi, in order to commemorate the patriotic poet Qu

Yuan. "

我和哥哥点了点头，原来端午节还有这样的意义。今天不仅吃到了香喷喷的粽子，还让我收获不少。

meaning. Today, I have not only delicious zongzi, but also a lot of harvest.

农历五月初五为端午节，又称端阳节、午日节、五月节、艾节、端五、重午、午日、夏节。虽然名称不同，但各地人民过节的习俗是相同的。端午节是我国二千多年的旧习俗，每到这一天，家家户户挂艾叶菖蒲，赛龙舟，吃粽子，饮雄黄酒，游百病，佩香囊。

今天是端午节，大家知道端午节的来历吗?!不知道吧!那就让我来告诉你们吧!你们还记得楚国那位爱国大将屈原吗?我来说一说他吧!

屈原是战国时期出国人，很有学问。他在楚王身边做官，以形象是自己的国家富强起来。昏君楚王却听信奸臣的话，把屈原削职流放。在流放中，屈原听说楚国的都城被敌人占领，百姓遭难，悲愤极了。五月初五这一天，他来到汨罗江边，怀抱一块石头，以纵身跳入汨罗江中。出国的百姓听到屈原投江的消息，都十分悲痛。他们含着泪划着船赶来打捞屈原，还把粽子扔到江里喂鱼，希望鱼儿不要伤害屈原的身体。这就是五月端阳包粽子的来历。

端午节还有许多有趣的活动。列如赛龙舟，挂香囊，香囊内有朱砂、雄黄、香药，外包以丝布，清香四溢，再以五色丝线弦扣成索，作各种不同形状，结成一串，形形色色，玲珑夺目。还有挂艾叶、菖蒲的习惯。

端午节的活动可真多啊!

导读：哲理小故事能够引起小朋友们的兴趣，在看故事的同时也能从中学习到一些人生哲理，在外国也有许多的哲理小故事，下面小编为大家整理了一些短篇英语哲理小故事，希望大家能够喜欢。

一、THRIFT 节俭

There is not a (no) thrifty man but becomes a rich man sooner or later. Why? Because he will not spend such money as is unnecessary. Little by little his money will accumulate. Ten to one, he is bound to make a fortune.

I do not like such men as spend their money in a wrong way. They do not know extravagance is a bad thing. It can only make them happy for the time being. In short, thrift makes poor men rich and extravagance makes rich men poor.

一个没有一个节俭的人迟早不成为一个富翁。为什么？因为他决不花像那种不必要的钱。渐渐他的钱就会聚积起来。十之八九，他一定会发财的。

我不喜欢那种乱花钱的人。他们不知道奢侈是一件坏事。它只能够使他们暂时快乐而已。总而言之，节俭使穷人变富，奢侈使富人变穷。

二、PERSEVERANCE 毅力／坚忍

Needless to say, nothing but perseverance can lead a man to the way of success. In other words, a persevering man never does his work without succeeding in it. This is indeed unchangeable truth.

Our National Father, Dr.  , is the most ideal example. He was devoted to the revolution about forty years. He met with many failures, but he was anything but discouraged. As a result, he won. The Republic of China was born.

不需说，只有毅力才能引导人迈向成功之途。换句话说，一个具有毅力的人做工作终是(never...without)会把它做成功的。这真是不易之定理也。

我们国父是一个最理想的例了.致力国民革命凡四十年。他遭遇到许多次的失败，但是他决不灰心。结果，他赢了。诞生了。

三、WHERE THERE IS A WILL, THERE IS A WAY 有志者事竟成

The secret of success (The key to success) is not so much money as a strong will. A great man is one who has a strong will and an indomitable spirit. In other words, if a man does not have a strong will to win (get) the final victory, he will never succeed in his life. He is no more than a failure.

It is quite obvious that there is no difficult thing (nothing difficult) in the world. if you make up your mind to do it, you will certainly accomplish your end. That stands to reason.

成功的要诀不是金钱而是一个坚强的意志（用not so mush... as）。一个大人物是一个具有坚强意志和不屈不挠精神的人。换句话说，如果一个人没有坚强意志去获得最后胜利的人，他终其一生永远不会成功。他只不过是（用no more than）一个失败者。

很显明的世界上并没有难事。如果你下定决心去做它，你一定会达到目的。那是显而易见的。

四、Whale 鲸鱼

A little girl was talking to her teacher about whales.

The teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale to swallow a human because even though it was a very large mammal its throat was very small.

The little girl stated that a whale swallowed Jonah.

Irritated, the teacher reiterated that a whale could not swallow a human; it was physically impossible.

The little girl said,“When I get to heaven I will ask Jonah.”

The teacher asked,“What if Jonah went to hell?”

The little girl replied,“Then you ask him.”

一个小女孩和她的老师正在谈论有关鲸鱼的事情。

她的老师说：“一头鲸鱼从身体构造的角度看，是不可能吞掉一个人的。因为尽管鲸鱼是一种非常巨大的哺乳动物，可它的嗓子非常小。”

那个小女孩说：“约拿(一位西伯来先知)就是被鲸鱼吞掉的。”

她的老师非常生气，她再次告诉小女孩说：“从身体构造角度来讲，鲸鱼是不可能吞掉一个人的。”

那个小女孩说：“那等我到了天堂，就去问问约拿。”

她的老师问：“那么，假如约拿下了地狱怎么办?”

那个小女孩回答：“如果是那样的话，你就去问他。”

从前，有一个人，天资聪明、才华过人，由于什么都一学就会，所以他梦想有朝一日成为无所不能的奇人。他感到自己潜力无限，任何事情只要他下定决心去做就一定能够做很好。他相信，他的韬略会超过任何一个帝王将相，他的著作论述会启迪几代人，他的发明创造会给天下人的生活带来影响。

但是，有一个问题，他虽然潜力无限，但只有一辈子，他需要做出选择。他需要决定将他的聪明才智用到某一个方面。做出这样的决定是非常艰难的，因为这意味着其它方面的潜力将得不到发挥。

在他踌躇的时候，他不知不觉上了学，毕了业，找到了一份工作，结了婚，生了女儿。他不屑将他的才智用在仅为糊口而干的工作，但由于聪明过人，他还是赢得了同事们的尊敬和赞誉。他时常想：如果我把精力都放在我选择的某个方面，我将会做出多大的成就啊！

时光飞逝，他日渐衰老。而一些吃青春饭的事情，他不能做了。但是，还有些事情。只要他下定决心去做，仍是能大有作为的。做什么事情呢？他在工作、育子、做家务、处理各种人际关系时，总是会思考这个问题。他坚定不移地认为，他有巨大的了不起的潜力。熟悉他的人，也有着和他同样的认识，因为只要你与他相处，忽视这一点是不可能的。

一天，上班的时候，他忽感胸闷，就早早回到了家。他虚弱无力，走进卫生间想用凉水洗脸，却抬头看到了镜子，镜子里的那个人双鬓泛白、满脸皱纹、皮肤松弛、眼神疲惫，他忽然明白了一个简单的道理。然而，就在他醒悟的那一刻，胸口剧烈疼痛，随即心脏停止了跳动。

每一个认识他的人都很伤心并惋惜不已，因为他不但是一个好人，而且是一个多才多艺的人。他死了，他的多种潜能也就随着去了。如果他早做出决定，他肯定会在某个领域做出非凡伟绩。这些伟绩会超越时代，影响一代又一代人。然而，他就这样走了，多么可惜呀！人们痛哭流涕。

可是，他们不知道死者离世那一刻心中的感悟。他悟到了一个简单的道理：许多人一生自以为聪明过人，才华超众，相信如果不是因为这样那样的原因，肯定会做出一番惊天动地的伟业，而实际上，这种想法只是一种自欺欺人的幻觉而已。

我们每个人，只要身体健康，资商正常，没有身陷战争或自然灾难之中，就可以在很多事情上大有作为，而成败的关键并不只在于我们的天赋。而在于我们做了没有，有天赋不去做，等于没有天赋。不管你相信不相信，若你一事无成，是因为你没有去做！

The so-called Eight Immortals refers to the eight immortal, they are: torrent, Han Chung, Lan Tsai, Chang, old, Xiangu, Han Xiang, obviously drunk and Lu Tung-pin.

One day, the Queen Mother of the West Eight Immortals birthday celebration back from the clouds over the East China Sea through, I saw choppy sea, Bailangtaotian, it is truly spectacular. Thus, the Eight Immortals decided to go to the sea and play.

Lu Tung-pin, said: "Everyone threw their treasures on the sea, it is crossed by the sea, comparison and who is more supernatural powers, how?"

Tieguaili first welcomed the recommendation, high-spirited mood he said: "Well you look at me!!" Put the crutches toward the sea, crutches like a boat floating in the water, a torrent somersault, turned upright on crutches.

Han Chung then put his palm-leaf fan thrown into the sea, standing on the top jump.

Subsequently, several other fairy also recount, Chang, old riding a donkey down, marching Lu Tung-pin male and female sword, Xiao Han Xiangzi sitting, riding Xiangu flowers, blue and standing on the green light, obviously drunk stepping jade, are floating up in the sea.

Eight Immortals secure in the surging waves along the drift, which clouds feel different, do not have a new stimulus and atmosphere, we really played with pleasure.

In this case, obviously drunk suddenly points to the right hand, and shouted:

"We see ah! There seat mirage!"

We turned around and saw a gradually rising mountains from the sea, the mountains there are trees, there are buildings, while on the up in the air, the clouds slowly into the horizon, a flash, a cloud that has been scattered by the wind a.

Han Xiang said: "We do not really treat shallow sea dragon mirage gas is booed out of gas, a rare century ah!!"

Suddenly, the blue and disappeared from them. We wait and see far and near, while calling to find, but I could not see blue and traces of old Chang guess, he said:

"East China Sea Dragon King might be trouble, he did not welcome us his prowess at sea, the blue and caught underwater to go, we go together to the underwater dignitaries go!"

We came to the Dragon Palace, Dragon King politely request release. Dragon unreasonable, not only refused, but also sent his sons to lead the minor players to kill the Eight Immortals. Eight Immortals had to use magic to carry a weapon, resisting many small, after a fierce battle, two were the Eight Immortals Dragon Prince killed.

A dragon, his two sons were killed the Eight Immortals, really extreme grief, please South China Sea, West Sea, North Sea Dragon King to help. Dragon King ton of bricks, the Eight Immortals also riled. Torrent wine gourd sea water absorbance, and the remaining few will be immortal Tarzan moved over to fling the East China Sea, the East China Sea became an immediate high.

The two sides played incredibly hard, sun and the moon light, the Lao, and Avalokiteshvara Buddha also alarmed, they all came to mediation. The results of mediation is, by the blue and the East China Sea Dragon King sent two Jade, as compensation for killing two Prince Tarzan moved back by Kannon responsible place.

Because of a dispute, the Eight Immortals Jade Emperor was downgraded first-class. Since then, the Eight Immortals no longer afraid to stir up trouble to the outside.

所谓八仙是指八位仙人，他们分别是：铁拐李、汉钟离、蓝采和、张果老、何仙姑、韩湘子、曹国舅和吕洞宾。

有一天，八仙向西王母拜寿回来，腾云驾雾从东海上空经过，只见海上波涛汹涌，白浪滔天，煞是壮观。于是，八仙决定到海面上玩一玩。

吕洞宾说：“大家把自己的宝物扔到海面上，借着它渡过大海，比一比谁更有神通，怎么样？”

铁拐李首先对这一建议表示欢迎，他兴致昂扬地说：“好啊！大家先看我的！”便把拐杖投向海中，拐杖像一条小船漂浮在水面，铁拐李一个筋斗，翻立在拐杖上。

接着汉钟离把他的芭蕉扇丢到海上，跳下去站在上面。

接着，其他几位仙人也各显神通，张果老倒骑着毛驴，吕洞宾踏着雌雄宝剑，韩湘子坐着萧，何仙姑乘着花篮，蓝采和站在拍板上，曹国舅踩着玉版，都在海面上漂浮了起来。

八仙安稳地顺着汹涌的波浪漂去，这与腾云驾雾感觉大不相同，别有一番新的刺激和情调，大家玩得好不快意。

这时，曹国舅突然用手指向右边，并高声喊道：

“大家看啊！那里有座海市蜃楼！”

大家转头一看，只见一座仙山渐渐地从海里升起，山上有树木，有楼房，一会儿就升到半空中，慢慢地变成天边的浮云，一转眼，那浮云又被风吹散了。

韩湘子说：“我们真是眼福不浅！蜃气是海里蛟龙嘘出来的气体 ，百年难得一见啊！”

突然 ，蓝采和从他们当中消失了。大家远近观望，一边找一边喊，可就是不见蓝采和的踪迹，张果老猜说：

“可能是东海龙王作怪，他不欢迎我们在他的海上大显神通，把蓝采和抓到龙宫去了，走 我们一起到龙宫要人去！”

大家来到龙宫，婉言请求龙王放人。龙王蛮不讲理，不但不肯，还派自己的几个儿子带领虾兵蟹将追杀八仙。八仙只得用随身的法宝当武器，抵抗虾兵蟹将，经过一场激烈的战斗之后，龙王的两个太子被八仙杀死了。

龙王一听，自己的两个儿子被八仙杀了，真是悲愤至极，商请南海、西海、北海龙王来帮忙。龙王的不依不饶，把八仙也给惹火了。铁拐李用酒葫芦把海水吸光，其余几位仙人将泰山搬了过来，往东海一扔，东海立刻变成了一座高 。

双方打得天昏地暗，日月无光，把太上老君、如来佛和观世音也惊动了，他们全都赶来调解。调解的结果是，由蓝采和送东海龙王两片玉版，作为杀两位太子的补偿泰山则由观世音负责搬回原处。

因为这一场纠纷，八仙被玉皇大帝降级一等。从此，八仙再也不敢到外面惹是生非了。

障碍赛跑

森林里居住着一群小动物。它们每天一起早锻炼，一起玩耍，一起找食物，过着愉快的生活。

一天，在玩耍中，小动物们闹了一点小矛盾，小猴灵机一动，提仪——举行一次障碍赛跑。这次比赛要闯三关：过独木桥、穿山洞、飞跃小河；还要赛出风格、赛出友宜！小猴请来了忠厚老实的山羊伯伯当裁判，又准备了三个奖杯。

比赛开始了，每个小动物都积极参加。有小象、小兔、小鸭、熊猫、小猴、小鹿、山羊、鹅。它们挂上了序号。山羊吹哨发令，动物们不抢先，按序号走过独木桥

，穿过山洞、飞跃小河。瞧，小象过桥，象大，桥小桥都弯了，像要掉下桥似的，忽然小象灵机一动，把长鼻子抛向石墩，脚步轻轻地挪动，走过独木桥，向山动奔去，熊猫也扭动身子跟了进去。小鹿驮着小兔飞跃小河，最后天鹅和野鸭它们在山洞互相帮助，穿过山洞后门口。树杆上生枝，枝挂在腾上，唯一飞跃小河的小鹿、天鹅、野鸭、小兔，山羊公证地宣布。小猴发奖。

小猴大声宣布：“这个比赛赛出了风格，赛出了友宜，现在我宣布，障碍赛跑成功了！”

头发

苏格拉底年轻时有一头非常漂亮的头发。后来，由于他潜心研究哲学，用脑过度，年纪大后，脑门和后脑勺上的头发都掉光了。

一个有着一头漂亮金发的年轻人揶揄地问他：“尊敬的大哲学家，是否头发越少，就意味着学问越多呢？”

苏格拉底说：“不一定。不过，如果脑子里面是空的，即使长着一头浓密漂亮的头发，又有什么用？”

蚂蚁过河

夏天来了。太阳像一个大火球一样高高地悬挂在天空上，把大地镀上了一层闪亮的金黄色。清澈的小河边有一棵大树，叶子被晒得打着卷儿，无精打彩的好像睡着了。树上的知了不停地叫着：“热死啦！热死啦！”树下住着蚂蚁三兄弟一家。

有一天，蚂蚁三兄弟想去河对岸的动物电影院看电影。可是看着小河里的水丁冬丁冬，不停地奔跑着。他们非常着急：这该怎么办呀？

大蚂蚁看着小河，心想：这点小困难能难倒我笨笨吗？于是，它撸起裤脚，就“扑通”一声跳进了河里。只听笨笨在河里喊：“救命啊！救命啊……”不一会儿，声音就消失了。二蚂蚁看大蚂蚁被河水冲走了，吓得脸都白了，冷汗直流。心想：连大哥都过不去，我肯定也过不去的。接着，就转个身灰溜溜地逃走了。

三蚂蚁仔细观察了四周，忽然看见河里有一只乌龟。它想：乌龟是游泳高手，我可以请它帮忙呀！于是，它大声喊到：“乌龟大哥，你好呀！你能驮我到河对岸吗？”乌龟点点头，答应了。三蚂蚁坐在乌龟的背上不一会儿就到岸了。它向乌龟道了谢，就开开心心地去看电影了。

所以，我们不管遇到什么困难，一定要多动脑筋，肯定能想出解决的办法的。

Honorable judges, dear boys and girls,good afternoon!

It is my honour to have the opportunity to deliever a speech here.Today my

topic is that“No imagination no invention”.As we know, imagination is the power

of invention,many inventions just begin with the sparking of imagination.

There is no doubt that if you could not imagine so many good inventions

would not arise. Lenin said: Imagination is extremely valuable

qualities.Imagine, if not, the world will be how to, perhaps can only be a

gray.Have imagination is the root cause of human stronger than other animals.No

imagination of human development and progress will not have any.Einsteins

theory of relativity can find because of his childlike imagination. Jobs created

Apple, but also from his simply idea and refined imagination.

But, nowadays, people gradually lose their imagination, or the imagination

of people have been killed.Under the exam-oriented education，only the standard

answer is correct, the deviated answer is wrong.This causes scores become the

dominant factor,so student had to give up their imagination,began to rote

memorization.To realize Chinas dream and the national rejuvenation, can without

imagination?

If people stopped fantasy, then this is a real sign of the decline of

humanity. Imagination is the basis for the creation of the invention. With bold

Imagination, science was evolving, with rich imagination, before the era of

constantly advancing. We should protect childrens imagination and develop their

creativity. China may create a dream realized.

尊敬的评委们，亲爱的同学们，下午好!

很荣幸有这样一个机会在这里演讲，今天我演讲的题目是:“No imagination no

invention”。众所周知，想象力是发明创造的动力，许多发明都是由想象的闪现开始的。

毫无疑问的说，如果没有想象，如此多优秀的发明就没有出现的可能。列宁说过：想象是极其可贵的品质，设想一下，如果没有想象，世界将会怎样，也许只会是一片灰色。拥有想象力是人类强于其他动物的根本原因。没有想象力的人类将不会有任何的发展与进步。爱因斯坦之所能发现相对论，就是因为他的童真的想象力。乔布斯创造了苹果，也来源于他的简约理念和脱俗的想象力。

但是，现如今，人们渐渐失去了想象力，或者说人们的想象力在不断被扼杀，应试教育下，只有标准答案才是正确的，偏离答案就是错的，这使分数成了主导因素，学生不得不放弃自己的想象，开始死记硬背，试问要想实现中国梦和实现民族复兴，没有想象力行么?

如果人们停止了幻想，那么这就是人类衰落的真正征兆。想象力是创造发明的基础。有了大胆的创想，科学才不断发展，有了丰富的想象，时代才不断前进。我们应该保护孩子们的想象力，发挥他们的创造性。为中国梦的实现创造可能。

不知捕捉黄鳝的人将他手中的那个小小的竹笼子申报了国家专利没有，我觉得那东西完全可以得到一个专利号。因为它十分巧妙，做起来也不费事，却实用得很。一束细篾编织成拳头粗细的笼子，笼子尾部是进口处，一圈轻而簿的篾瓣朝里形成一个漩涡状茬口。

黄鳝被笼里的诱饵吸引了，就从那篾缝里钻进去，但是它在笼子里面没法转身，于是被收笼子的人提起来，没有一条能够逃脱的。其实这笼子什么机关也没有，只有进口处那一圈篾瓣。它是利用了黄鳝的尾部特别敏感，只要一触到硬物整个身体就向前游动这一特性，断了黄鳝的后路。假使黄鳝敢于朝后退一步，那么就没有哪一条黄鳝能被关进笼子而束手待毙的。

当初黄鳝是怎么进来的呢当然是顶着篾瓣钻进来的，因为那时诱饵在前，就什么也顾不上了，硬着头皮往前钻。等到后退的时候，篾瓣的尖梢一根根扎在尾上，它不知道后面那坚硬的是什么东西，退下去会有什么结果，所以一触即缩，怎么也鼓不起勇气朝后退，就只好在笼里一直呆下去。

置身险境而不敢后退一步，这类现象在动物界并不鲜见。然而作为高等动物的人也常犯这类错误，甚至于将自己推上了绝路，这就不能不令人感到遗憾了。

一只已经成为二栖明星的青蛙，并不满足，它想：“我能在水中游，陆上跳，如果再能在天上飞，就成为一只三栖明星的青蛙了!到那时，我就成了所有青蛙崇拜的偶像。”

于是，这只青蛙制定了一份详细的飞翔计划。照着计划，青蛙每天苦练飞翔的本领。可无论它怎么练习，却没有什么效果。

青蛙并没有因此而放弃，心想：是不是自己的练习方法不对?它细心地观察着鸟类的飞翔，发现雄鹰都在高高的悬崖上起飞，小鸟都在高高的枝头上起飞。青蛙明白了，自己之所以飞不起来，是没有找到一个起飞的平台。于是，青蛙沿着一棵树的树干，爬上了高高的枝头。青蛙雄心壮志地仰望着蓝天，向上奋力一跃。就在它以为自己飞起来了的时候突然身体不听使唤地向下坠落，最后重重地摔死在地上。

面对这只摔死的青蛙，青蛙们想不明白：不是说成功离不开梦想，离不开计划，离不开苦练，离不开坚持，离不开方法吗?这一切，在这只摔死的青蛙身上都具备，具备了如此成功条件的青蛙，最后为什么会活活地摔死呢?

“自己没有翅膀，却偏偏要去练习飞翔，怎么会不摔死呢?”老青蛙的一句话，使众青蛙恍然大悟。

一个富商与一个农夫同路而行。

农夫问：

"请问老哥，你这是要到哪儿去呀？"

"去见国王。你呢，农夫老弟？"

"真是太巧了，我也是去见国王。"

富商说："那一年，国王外出私访，路上马病死了，于是我卖给他一匹千里马。据说这匹千里马在一次战乱中救了国王一命，因而他让我去接受奖赏。"

农夫说："那一年，国王外出私访，又渴又饿，走到我那破草房门口时，人已饿昏了，我给他灌了一碗野菜汤，才把他救活，因而他让我去接受奖赏。"

于是两人同时到了王宫。

"哦！我的两位救命恩人！你们一个用千里马救了我一命，一个用野菜汤救了我一命，对于我来说，千里马和野菜汤同样重要。现在，你们就去挑自己喜欢的礼物吧。不过一人只能拿一样。"

富商和农夫来到礼品箱前。

富商挑了一个沉甸甸光灿灿的金块，而农夫却挑了一个又大又漂亮的大葫芦。

"你不想挑一个对于你更重要的东西么？"国王问。

"谁能肯定这葫芦对我不重要呢？"农夫紧紧抱着这个大葫芦不肯松手。

路上，富商忍不住嘲笑农夫："嗨！没见过像你这样傻的人，不要金块要葫芦！难道葫芦能养活你的性命么？"

"谁能肯定它不能助我活命呢？正如一碗野菜汤救了国王一命一样，你能说野菜汤比不上你的千里马重要么？"农夫说。

后来，他们乘船过河，船翻了，富商抱着金块沉入江底，而农夫则抱着葫芦得以活命。

品味生活，感悟人生：事物并不是真正分开的……它是一个有机的联合体。最小的一片小草，枯树上最小的叶子，与最大的星星同样重要。

the youth, but also middle school students have been engaged in smoking. Many of

them think that smoking is a smart symbol.

However, smoking is harmful to one’s ,health. It contributes a lot of lung

cancer, from which many people have died in the past years. It can also cause

many other diseases. In a word, if you smoke, you do have a much greater chance

of losing your health. Furthermore, scientific research shows that smoking is

not only harmful to smokers themselves, but also a threat to public health,

especially to women and children. Therefore, many countries have made laws

forbidding smokers to smoke m public places such as cinemas, stations,

hospitals, and so on Giveup smoking! If you don’t smoke, don’t start. Give

upsmoking for the sake of your health, for the sake of your family, and for the

sake of the whole world.

吸烟与健康

现在，吸烟是一个世界范围的习惯，不仅老年人、青年人吸烟，就连中学生也加入到这个行列中来，他们中的许多人认为吸烟是一种潇洒的象征。

然而，吸烟对人的健康是有害的，它会引起肺癌，在刚刚过去的几年中;许多人因此而丧命，还可能引发其他的疾病。总之，如果你吸烟的话，你就很可能失去拥有健康的机会，更进一步说，科学研究显示，吸烟不仅危害吸烟者本人，而且对公共健康来说，也是一个凶兆，尤其是对妇女和孩子。因此，许多国家都制定了不准在公共场合吸烟的法规，例如：电影院，车站，医院等地。

戒烟吧，如果你还未染上，请不要开始;戒烟吧，为了你的健康，为了你的家庭的健康，为了整个世界的健康。

一日，禅师向他的弟子们：一棵树什么最重要？

弟子们有的说是枝，有的说是叶，有的说是花，还有的说是果。他们还各自说了一通各自重要的理由。

而禅师却说：“无论是枝叶，还是花果，都是看得见的表像，表像永远都不是最重要的。”

“那一棵树什么最重要呢？”弟子们问。

“根最重要。一棵树没有了根，就会死亡。”禅师说，“但根却长在我们看不见的地里。世上最重要的东西，也像根一样，往往隐藏在生命的深处。那么，一个人什么最重要呢？”

“那看不见的人心灵最重要。”一个弟子答。

“树没有了最重要的根会死，但为什么一些缺失心灵和美德的人，却活得好好的呢？”一个弟子持反对意见。

“一些缺失心灵和美德的人，他们也会死，因为他们的精神死了，他们活着的，只是一身皮囊。”禅师道。

Hello! My name is Mingming. I am a pupil. I like speaking English very

much. I go to school five days every week. Every day I go to school on foot.

Because my school is not near my home. I like my school. There are about 3500

students and 54 teachers in my school. And I study in Grade 4. There are 45

students in my class. My English teacher is tall and handsome . I love him very

much. Welcome to my school. You must be very happy.

你好!我的名字叫明明。我是一个小学生。我非常喜欢说英语。我每周要去学校五天。我每天步行去上学。因为我的学校不是在我家附近。我喜欢我的学校。在我的学校里大约有3500名学生和54老师。我在四年级学习。在我的班级里有45个学生。我的英语老师又高又帅。我非常喜欢他。欢迎来到我的学校。你一定很开心。

I do not like teamwork in most time. Because I think it is hard for the

whole team to hold the same view. It is a waste of time to argue with each other

then make a compromise. But recently I have really seen the great power of

teamwork.

Last week we had a play competition. Because of some reasons, we had not

decided the play two days before the competition. Our monitor called the actors

and actresses who had been decided together. Then they think about every plot

together. To my surprise, it seemed that everybody had his or her good idea.

They gave up their weekend to practice the play. Finally our team won good marks

and were given the opportunity to participate in the final competition.

Teamwork is really powerful. No matter learning in school or working in the

future, we have to work in a team sometimes. So, try to establish the spirit of

teamwork. It will surely help you achieve success.

在大多数时间我不喜欢团队合作。因为我认为它是困难的为整个团队持有同样的观点。这是一个浪费时间争论然后互相妥协。但最近我真的见过伟大的团队合作的力量。

上周我们有一个玩的竞争。因为一些原因,我们没有决定竞争前的玩两天。我们的班长叫男女演员曾决定在一起。然后他们一起思考每一个情节。令我惊奇的是,似乎每个人都有他或她的好主意。他们放弃了周末练习。最后给出我们的团队赢得了好成绩,参加总决赛的机会。

团队合作真的很强大。无论在学校学习或工作在未来,有时我们必须在一个团队工作。所以,尝试建立团队合作的精神。它一定会帮助你取得成功。

As time goes by, people are being busier and busier with working, such as

signing their contracts, meeting their customers, drawing up the balance sheets

of their companies and so on. In this circumstance, people forget our most

excellent skill--smile.

随着时间的推移，人们在工作上越来越忙，如签订合同，见客户，制定企业资产负债表等。在这种情况下，人们忘记了我们最优秀的技能——微笑。

There are a great many kinds of power of smile. First of all, common touch

can be showed by a kind smile. Imagine that you go to a company to attend an

audition. With a confident smile, you are more likely to answer the question

better. Furthermore, smile can eliminate angry. As a philosopher said, smile

before you begin to get angry. The last but not the least, it reflects calm of a

person when he is in danger or in trouble.

微笑的力量很多。首先，微笑可以作为平易近人的一种表现。想象一下，你去一个公司参加面试。带着自信的微笑，你有可能会更好地回答问题。此外，微笑可以消除愤怒。一个哲学家说过，在你开始生气之前微笑。最后但并非最不重要的，当一个人处于危险或者麻烦的时候，微笑反映了一个人的镇定。

The beneficial aspects cannot be stated completely in this passage. But you

can understand its power when you smile.

微笑的好处在这里是无法一一列举的。但是，在你微笑的时候你可以理解它的力量。

一天，孔子的一个学生在门外扫地，来了一个客人问他：“你是谁啊？”

他很自豪地说：“我是孔先生的弟子！”

客人就说，“那太好了，我能不能请教你一个问题？”

学生很高兴的说：“可以啊！”他心想：你大概要出什么奇怪的问题吧？

客人问：“一年到底有几季啊？”

学生心想，这种问题还要问吗？于是便回答道：“春夏秋冬四季。”

客人摇摇头说：“不对，一年只有三季。”

“哎，你搞错了，四季！”

“三季！”

最后两个人争执不下，就决定打赌：如果是四季，客人向学生磕三个头。如果是三季，学生向客人磕三个头。

孔子的学生心想自己这次赢定了，于是准备带客人去见老师孔子。

正巧这时孔子从屋里走出来，学生上前问道：“老师，一年有几季啊？”

孔子看了一眼客人，说：“一年有三季。”

这个学生快吓昏了，可是他不敢马上问。

客人马上说：“磕头磕头！”

学生没办法，只好乖乖磕了三个头。

客人走了以后，学生迫不及待地问孔子：“老师，一年明明有四季，您怎么说三季呢？”

孔子说：“你没看到刚才那个人全身都是绿色的吗？他是蚂蚱，蚂蚱春天生，秋天就死了，他从来没见过冬天，你讲三季他会满意，你讲四季吵到晚上都讲不通。你吃亏，磕三个头，无所谓。”

一个姑娘经历了诸多的挫折，怎么也找不到一个成功的入口，她很是迷茫，心情也很坏。

一次，她到美国旅游，在旧金山市政厅参观的时候，兴致格外高涨，信步漫游。在市长办公室门口，她不由自主地敲了门，谁知，一个壮实威严的保镖走了出来，惊问道：“小姐，我能帮你什么吗?”她愣住了，不知该怎么回答。顿了一会，心想，既然敲了门，那就进去看看吧。她精神十足地对保镖说：“我能进去看看市长吗?”

壮汉保镖仔细打量了她一番，说道：“可以啊，不过，你得稍等片刻。”说罢，他用监视器和市长通话，联系见面的时间和地点。不一会儿，那个胖嘟嘟的市长，大腹便便地走了出来，很高兴地和她一起拍照、聊天、像一对神交已久的忘年交。

那一次，她特别开心，心情很好。

结束了美国之行后，她悟出了一个理：敲门就进去。明白这个理之后，她顺着其径义无反顾地走下去，终于找到成功的入口，成为国内某知名证券公司银行部的经理。

她就是央视《说名牌》双胞胎美女主持人之一马嵘乔。

敲门就进去，是一种难得的精神，更是走向成功的敲门砖。不少人在敲响一扇门之后，心里忐忑不安，信心全无，进而转身离去。这是怎样的一种遗憾啊。

既然敲了门，既然迈开了步子，为什么就不进去呢?是信心不足使然，也是勇气不够使然，长此以往，机会只在眼前闪现片刻，即消失得无影无踪，成功的入口永远在遥不可及的地方。

长时间的坚持，固然重要，但接近终点时，片刻的决断，往往是显得更为紧迫和珍贵。我们也许有长途跋涉的勇气，有长期吃苦的准备，但有时，缺乏的正是敲门就进去的精神。
