高二年级英语作文：明智对待手机BeWisetotheCellPhone20篇

My ambition is to become a teacher. As a child, I had many dreams, but

becoming teacher is the most thing I want to be. During the class, I pay more

attention to teacher‘s instruction, and act as teacher ‘s helper. I think

teacher has more influence on children‘s mind and behavior. There are many

crimes and disorders in our society, as many of outlaws come from broken family

and human‘s greed. If I can be a teacher, I definitely will ask my students be a

honor and useful person. The goal of our life is to help each other and reach

the harmony happiness. I hope my ambition and dream can come true. I am willing

to study hard and become a teacher in the future.

Youth has been praised by many people. They believe that it is the most

precious time of ones lifetime, because youth stands for young age and energy.

So we should cherish youth and do whatever we like. In my opinion, when we are

young, the first thing we need to do is to fight for our future. So we spend a

lot of time studying and gain much knowledge. The store of knowledge helps us

solve all kinds of problems. When we have enough ability, we are no longer

afraid of meeting difficulties. The second thing we need to do is to broaden our

vision. As we are young and full of energy, it is the best time to see more

scenery. Dont wait for retirement to explore the world. What we see will make

us mature and stronger. Lets enjoy the beautiful youth.

Dear Sir,

I am a December 2003 graduate from the University of San Francisco (USF) with a bachelors degree in International Business. As part of my career planning, I am very interested in supplementing my international business education with a basic knowledge of the Chinese language. This I hope will help me enter into business commerce with business organizations partnering with Chinas economic development.

I already have information from BLCU and hope to study there for at least one full year starting with this summers program continuing through the fall and spring semester 2006. Can your office advise me if such scholarships might be available to me?

I have been studying Chinese for one year now. I am not sure what level I belong to. I was told that there will be an HSK test in our university in September. I am planning to attend the test. But I dont know if the result of the test is recognized by your university. If so, can it be a help for me to apply for the scholarship?

I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Yours faithfully,

Tom Jolly

春节是我国最隆重的传统节日之一。每年寒假我都会和爸爸妈妈爷爷奶奶一起过春节。贴春联、包饺子、吃年夜饭、看春晚、拜年……都成为春节里最开心的事。

在我的家乡，除夕前几天人们就开始忙乎起来。家家都要打扫卫生，干干净净的过新年。在我家，爷爷通常是司令员，我们都是他的兵：妈妈扫地、爸爸拖地、奶奶烧菜、爷爷擦窗户，我呢，只要倒下垃圾就行了。半天功夫，我们家就焕然一新。

大年三十的重头戏是贴春联，中午大人们忙着弄浆糊、裁春联，最后很认真的将大红的福字、对联贴在门上，我们的房子仿佛披上了喜庆的盛装。我在一旁看看热闹，有时还插嘴评论几句，爷爷会用一句“童言无忌”赶走我。

大人们辛苦了一天，会在晚上聚在一起吃年夜饭。奶奶是大厨，她做的饭菜美味诱人，最拿手的保留菜肴会被一抢而空。席上，我们会互致祝福，说声感谢，祈祷来年平安幸福。

新年来临时，我总会试穿新衣服，甚至连新鞋都要试一试，在镜子前转来转去，提前感受新年穿新衣的快乐滋味。时间一分一秒的溜走，我也在不经意间甜甜的睡着。一觉醒来，我就又长大一岁了。大年初一，我会早早的起床，吃了红枣、约上几个小伙伴一起去拜年。大人们穿着新衣也三五成群的行走在洋溢在节日的喜庆里，大家互相道一声“新年好”，我会收获很多的糖果，口袋塞得满满的，只能拎着零食袋，回家后，我会像凯旋的士兵一样把战利品上交给妈妈。

春节里，人们走亲访友、互致祝福。这一刻，大家彼此传递着亲情、友情、乡情。年年岁岁花相似，岁岁年年人不同。家乡的春节可真是丰富多彩，令人回味啊!

Dear Sir,

I understand your well-respected college offers a number of places to overseas students every year, and I am writing to enquire about the application procedure.

I am at present a student at Mary High School, Hong Kong, where I have been studying for the past five years. I passed the Hong Kong Certificate of Education Examination last year with distinctions in English and History, and credits in Economics and English Literature. My advanced-level subjects are History, Economics and English Literature. In addition to these subjects, "Use of English" is also a compulsory subject because a pass in English is a minimum requirement for admission to most faculties of the University of Hong Kong.

Apart from academic work, I have been actively involved in extra-curricular activities. I am Chairman of the English Club and I have represented my school in many inter-school contests.

On the advice of my friends, I have decided to further my studies in England because I wish to widen my horizons and benefit from the scholarly heritage of your country.

I wish to continue to study the above-mentioned subjects at your college in the 2006/7 academic year before I sit the Advanced-level Examinations in England.

As regards my character, Mrs. Chen, my Principal, and Mr. Huang, my English master, have agreed to act as my references.

As I come from a family of fairly limited means, I would like to know if there is any financial assistance available for overseas students.

Attached is a summary of my qualifications for your reference.

I should be grateful if you would kindly consider my application and notify me of the result at your earliest convenience.

Should you require any further information, please feel free to contact me or my references.

Yours faithfully,

Lily Chen

导语：失败是成功之母。但我只想说成功是自信的婴儿。以下是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的关于自信的英语作文，欢迎阅读与借鉴，谢谢!

As we all know, Failure is the mother of success. But I just want to say Success is the baby of confidence.

First of all, confidence makes us happier in our life. Life is like a wonderful song, a bright and colorful painting. If confidence is with us in our life, we will find that life really becomes richer and more interesting.

Then, confidence makes us brave and courageous. If we lack confidence in ourselves, how can we overcome difficulties we meet with? If we have no confideuce in ourselves, how can we succeed in developing ourselves in the future?Without confidence, nothing can be accomplished. That is to say, if you want to win, you have to believe in yourself.

Finally, I would like to use the following words as our mutual encouragement: If you think you can, you can.

【翻译】

我们都知道，失败是成功之母。但我只想说成功是自信的婴儿。

首先，自信使我们生活更幸福。人生就像一首美妙的歌，一幅绚丽多彩的画。如果我们生活中充满自信，我们会发现生活变得更加丰富有趣。

然后，信心使我们勇敢和勇敢。如果我们对自己缺乏信心，我们怎样才能克服遇到的困难呢?如果我们对自己没有自信，我们如何在未来成功地发展自己呢?没有信心，什么也做不成。也就是说，如果你想赢，你必须相信自己。

最后，我想用下面的话作为我们相互的鼓励：如果你认为你可以，你可以。

雪，轻飘飘地落着，落着。

道路上早已盖满了厚厚的一层雪。

她，一个很漂亮的女孩，穿着一件纯白色的大衣，迈着轻盈的步子，走进了一个华丽的大教堂。

教堂的人不多，一位牧师在台上布道，口才很好。

她双手轻轻地合拢放在胸前，闭上眼，静静地听着。

这时，门“咔嚓”响了一下。

她不觉的睁开眼，回头看。

原来是一个长得不错得男孩。

他双手捧着一本书，在她身旁坐下了。

她微微对他一笑，又继续认真地听着布道。

天色眼看就要黑了。

他起身走出了教堂。

突然，她发现他的书忘在了椅子上。她急忙拿起书，追了出去。

可他早已不知去向。眼前，只看见那晶莹透亮的雪花。她拿起书翻动了几下，一张小小的名片掉了出来，落在了地上。

她弯下腰，轻轻将它拾起。

名片上写着醒目的两个大字“郭峰”下面是一大串电话号码。她笑了笑，走进一个电话亭，拿起话筒，照名片

上写的号码拨通了电话。

“喂!你好!我是郭峰。”话筒那边传来一位男子清晰的声音。

“咳咳”她清了清嗓子说：“你好!我就是今天在教堂坐在你身边的女孩。”

“是吗?请问你找我有事吗?”

“你的书忘在了椅子上，现在它在我这儿，我该怎样还给你呢?”

“天哪!我真太没记性了，你在哪儿?我马上就来拿。”

“好的，我就在教堂门口等你。”

接着，只听见他挂了电话。然后，是一串长长的“嘟嘟”声。

她深深吸了口气。拿着那本厚厚的书在教堂门口等待着。

不久，他来了。

只见他满头大汗。她忍不住笑了一下。然后，把书递给他。

他接过书，连忙道谢。便邀请她去他家做客。

她爽快的答应了。

那天，她很快乐，很晚她才回家。

后来，他们交往越来越频繁。直到渐渐开始喜欢对方。

他们每回都在那个大教堂相见。随后，一起去逛超市，一起去野餐，或一起去做她喜欢做的事。

他曾向她许诺，春天带她去山上采野花，夏天带她去海边看波涛汹涌的大海，秋天带她去柏树林拾那金黄的落叶，冬天带她去雪地里堆雪人。

因为，这是她在各个季节中最喜欢做的事。

就这样，他们幸福的度过了三个美丽的春秋。

但厄运，不久就降临在这对幸福的恋人身上。

一个晴朗的早晨，他突然感到身体有些不适。开始，他没在意。认为休息几天就会好。可没想到，越来越厉害。

没办法，他去医院做了检查。化验结果出来了。医生拿着化验单，看了好一会儿。他用敏锐的眼睛发现医生锁紧了眉头。他感到事情有些不妙。

“你得的病可不是小问题。”医生叹了口气说。

“医生，我得了什么病?”他追问。

“骨癌。唉!顶多只能活三个月了。”

他突然感到头晕目眩，简直就要崩溃了。他想，我一定不能让她知道，而且这几个月我要好好陪她。

他定了定神，立即打电话给她，邀她在老地方见面。

她似乎预感到了什么，一见到他就握住他的手问：“最近你那儿发生了什么事吗?”

而他却笑着说：“我能出什么事。”

她半信半疑，但又不好追问下去，只好保持沉默。

这时，已是深冬，他和她都穿着厚厚的袄子坐在火炉边取暖。外面正下着鹅毛大雪。

突然，他问：“后天是不是圣诞节?”

“是啊!”她微笑着回答他的问题。

他站了起来。笑着对她说：“既然这样，我要送一个礼物给你。”说着，就一溜烟跑了出去。

她急忙追了出去，可眼前只有茫茫大雪。

在圣诞节的那天夜晚，她一边准备着饭菜，一边想，怎么回事，这两天一直没有他的消息，连个电话都不打。

突然，她家的门铃响了。直觉告诉她，是他来了。她急忙去开门，一看，真的是他。她笑得那么灿烂。

只见他身上到处都是雪花。

她连忙把他拉进屋，帮他拍掉身上的雪花。然后，让他在暖气前坐一会儿，自己拿着他的那件湿漉漉的大衣，

放在火炉边烤，一边用温柔的语气责备他：“你去哪儿了，害得我好担心。”

平时，他总会回答她几句。而今天没有。她感到有些奇怪，便反过头一看。只见他已晕倒在沙发上。

她大惊失色，抛下大衣，连忙拨打120。

救护车来了，她陪着他，来到了医院。

这时，她才知道，他患了骨癌，受不得风寒。

她知道，他已经快不行了，便一直守在他床头，陪伴着他。

在晚上11点多钟，他突然醒了。他见她在身边，就轻声告诉她，我给你送了个礼物，你知道是什么吗?

她忍着泪强笑着摇摇头，表示自己愿意知道。

可他却微笑着，微笑着，直到眼睛闭上再也没有睁开。

一张无情的白布，遮住了他那给她带来温暖的脸庞。

她痛苦着，直到眼泪再也流不出来。

她突然觉得上帝在捉弄她。

她跌跌撞撞地走回家。

当离家还剩二十多米远时，她突然发现她的院子里堆了许许多多的雪人，她走近细细一看，发现每个雪人的

背后都写有她的名字。她知道，这是他用生命换来的给她的圣诞节礼物。

这回，她没哭。她用最美丽的微笑，一一抱过所有的雪人。然后，跪在厚厚的雪上，闭着眼，向着那圣洁的月亮祈祷，直到天明。

Knowledge can be acquired from many sources. These include books, teachers

and practical experience, and each has its own advantages. The knowledge we gain

from books and formal education enables us to learn about things that we have no

opportunity to experience in daily life. We can study all the places in the

world and learn from people we will never meet in our lifetime, just by reading

about them in books. We can also develop our analytical skills and learn how to

view and interpret the world around us in different ways. Furthermore, we can

learn from the past by reading books. In this way, we won’t repeat the mistakes

of others and can build on their achievements.

Practical experience, on the other hand, can give us more useful knowledge.

It is said that one learns best by doing, and I believe that this is true,

whether one is successful or not. In fact, I think making mistakes is the best

way to learn. Moreover, if one wants to make new advances, it is necessary to

act. Innovations do not come about through reading but through experimentation.

Finally, one can apply the skills and insights gained through the study of books

to practical experience, making an already meaningful experience more

meaningful. However, unless it is applied to real experiences, book knowledge

remains theoretical and, in the end, is useless. That is why I believe that

knowledge gained from practical experience is more important than that acquired

from books.

In many countries in the world, women are looked down upon. It is more

difficult for them to get some work than men. In order to get a job, they

sometimes have to tell a lie. Thats unfair. In fact, women can work no worse

than men. Theres nothing that women cant do.

Perhaps, they are better at their work than men. For example, in making

telephones and computers, many companies would rather employ women, for men

cant pick up the small pieces with their fingers. Like , they can also become

excellent engineers, doctors and teachers. So I am sure the day will come soon

when women can really get equal rights.

The person I admire is my mum. She is an English teacher. She is very popular among the students because she spends lots of time on her lessons and has a good sense of humor. Students all enjoy her class.

我敬佩的人是我的妈妈。她是一位英语老师。她很受学生的欢迎，因为她花了很多时间在功课上，而且很幽默。学生都很喜欢她的课。

My mum is not only a good teacher, but also a great mother. She is patient with me and always smiling while talking. My mum teaches me how to think independently and helps me to build up my confidence. When I have some difficulties in my studies, it is my mum who encourages me to work until I solve the problem. When I’m feeling sad or bad, it is also my mum who looks after me with care.

我的妈妈不仅是一位好老师，也是一位伟大的母亲。她对我很有耐心，说话时总是面带微笑。我妈妈教我如何独立思考，帮助我建立我的信心。当我在学习上有困难的，这是我妈妈鼓励我直到我解决问题。当我感到悲伤或糟糕的，也是妈妈照顾我。

I remember when I caught a fever at midnight last year, my mum took me to the hospital as fast as she could. When we got home after my injection, it was about 5 o’clock in the early morning. My mum only slept 2 hours because she had to wake up at 7 o’clock to prepare breakfast for me, and then she went to work. She must be very tired that day.

我记得当我去年在半夜发高烧，妈妈以最快的速度带我去医院。当我打完针回到家时，已经差不多凌晨五点。妈妈只睡了2个小时，因为她不得不在七点起床为我准备早餐，然后她去工作。她那天一定很累。

My mum is not very beautiful, but I admire her.

我的妈妈是不是很漂亮，但我敬佩她。

Nowadays, any Chinese can enjoy the luxury of owning a private car - if he or she can afford it. Having a car of your own means no more traveling to work on crowded buses or subway trains, and you can drop off the children at school on the way. Moreover, it also means that you can enjoy the weekends and holidays better, because with a car you can go to places where the regular buses and trains do not go, and so you can find a quiet scenic spot with no crowds.

However, there are drawbacks to owning a car. For one thing, with the increase in car ownership in recent years, the roads are becoming more and more crowded, often making the journey to work more of a nightmare than a dream. For another, it is not cheap to run a car, as the prices of gasoline and repairs are constantly rising, not to mention the prices you have to pay for a licence and insurance coverage.

Having considered both sides of the argument, I have come to the conclusion that the advantages of owning a car outweigh the disadvantages. Therefore, it seems to me that China should increase its output of automobiles and enlarge the private car market. The result would be that cars would become cheaper, while at the same time the extra demand would encourage the auto industry to produce more efficient and family-oriented vehicles.

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。

These two cartoons show two contrasting scenes. While the male student spends all his time and money playing Internet games, the female student studies diligently. One could easily argue that a bright future awaits the students who study hard, while those who waste tuition playing games have little to look forward to. The above images encourage students to value their time in school and take advantage of educational opportunities.

While students dream of being accepted into college for years, they often become lost once admitted. Without their parents‘ constant support and advice, or because of limited communication with teachers, many students are unable to focus on their future goals.

Such confusion leads some to forget their studies and resort to playing on the Internet, among other forms of recreation. Students should not only keep their ambitions in mind, but also seriously strive towards them. Without a clear purpose, one might easily waste crucial years neglecting one‘s studies.

Constantly playing on the Internet leads to failure, while continuously studying guarantees success. Students need to appreciate their time in school, and work hard in order to ensure a good future.

age, we communicated a lot. We shared our opinion about the culture and learned

a lot. When our train reached the destination, we needed to separate, we

promised to keep in touch by the Internet. Now a year has passed, we make our

你登过泰山吗 你在泰山顶上看过日出吗

Have you ever put you on the top of the Taishan Taishan seeing the sunrise it

暑假里,妈妈带着我去了雄伟的泰山.当我们登上泰山最高峰的时候,已经是晚霞满天了.东岳泰山是世界自然遗产之一,有许多名人在这里留下了笔墨.其中最著名的是杜甫的"会当凌绝顶,一览众山小".晚上,我们住在了山顶上.

During the summer vacation, my mother took me to the mighty Taishan. When we boarded the Taishan peak, is already sunset sky. Taishan mountain is one of the world natural heritage, there are many famous people left a pen here. The most famous is the Du Fu "would be extremely Ling, list of small hills." evening, we live in the top of the hill.

第二天一早,妈妈就把我从睡梦中叫醒了.这时候,天空上刚刚泛着白色,还有几颗星星在闪烁着.导游告诉我们,东边那颗最亮的星星是启明星.这时已经有许多人聚在日出崖上了.东方的天边越来越红,照得云姑娘的脸通红通红的.我们屏住呼吸,等待着,等待着."出来啦!出来啦!"太阳露出了头,在我们的欢呼声中,太阳从地平线上蹦了出来,光芒四射,照亮了整个大地.

The very next day early in the morning, my mother woke me from my sleep. At this time, the sky was suffused with white, and there are few stars gleamed. The tour guide told us, the heart is the brightest star of star. Now many people gather at sunrise cliff. The eastern horizon more red cloud, as the girls face flushed red. We hold our breath, waiting, waiting. "Out! Out!" the sun exposed head, in our cheers, the sun from the horizon jumped out, shine, illuminate the whole earth.

啊!泰山的日出真美啊!这将是我最难忘的暑假回忆!

Oh! Taishan sunrise is very beautiful! This will be my most memorable summer memories!

期末考试意味着假期的到来，我真的是既高兴又害怕，高兴是因为要放假了，害怕是因为我要挨骂了......

期末考试后的一天，我正参加学校的诗歌朗诵排练，班主任一脸阴沉走到我的旁边，我感到心跳加速，心想：肯定期末没取得理想成绩!果然，李老师严厉地问：“这次期末考试怎么回事?”我的心情顿时下降到冰点，心里就像挂着十五个吊桶七上八下。

李老师接着说：“数学是不是太马虎了，只考了91分啊!”91分，不会吧，我明明检查了好几遍呢!我又关心起最拿手的语文成绩，心想语文总不会差吧，这可是我的拿手好戏，三年读下来，我的期末语文成绩，一向是班里数一数二的，但偏偏李老师对语文成绩只字不提。我也不好意思问。

走出教室，我的心上仿佛压着一把大锤子，整个人像泄了气的气球，无精打采。连同学请我去玩，我都没了兴趣。这时，妈妈来了，表情比李老师还严肃，就像当时的天空，乌云密布。“怎么回事，语文92，数学91，你知道吗?你们班数学满分十几个，语文高分也多得是，叫你平时要努力，要仔细，就是听不进去……”妈妈的唠叨还在继续，但我一句也听不进去了，眼前总是跳跃着这两门课的成绩——91、92!

回家的路上，我终于忍不住哭了，妈妈说：“想取得好成绩是每个人的心愿，但有了心愿还要努力呀，你想想平时有没有把老师的话记到心里了，有没有把妈妈的话用到实际上了?”听着妈妈的话，我的眼前浮现出考试前和考试时的一些情景。妈妈让我再复习一下，我总是一副不屑一顾的样子，不耐烦地说：知道了，没问题了，能考好了……;老师布置的背书作业，我总是马马虎虎，得过且过……;数学考试时，我感到试卷太简单了，才做半个小时，我就感到已经全对了，接下去这么长时间我竟然就在草稿纸上画画……。现在，残酷的分数让我明白了一个事实：那就是平时的不认真，考试时的马虎是我成绩惨败的原因。

回到家以后我决定我一定要改到我这马虎的坏习惯，如果在犯这种错误的话，我想我对不起老师也对不起我的父母，我一定要再把知识巩固一些和改掉马虎这个坏习惯。

今年，春节在孩子们的欢呼声中，在清晨那清脆的爆竹声中，它再一次悄然而至。

一早，我就被楼下的热闹给吵醒了。我推开窗一看，楼下人头涌涌，个个都穿起新衣。我也穿起新衣，洗漱完后，我便迫不及待地跑到妈妈房间拿’’利是’’，妈妈不紧不慢地拿出50元。我开心地接过，并且谢谢妈妈，去吃早餐了

吃完早餐，我们就去逛街了。大街上，孩子都由大人带着，在买玩具。突然，从远处传来一阵敲锣打鼓的声音。我一下就判断是有人在舞狮。

我们来到了舞狮团旁边。我瞧了瞧舞狮 团，才二十几个人。他们有的在敲锣打鼓，有的在看着，有的在指引着。他们的衣服都是黄色，有两只狮子，一只红色一只黄色，红的是公，黄的是母，就像一对夫妻。它们在路中央戏耍，你挨着我，我挨着你。渐渐地，人变得多起来。在人的海洋里，我也情不自禁地欢笑起来。那两只美丽的狮子在人群玩耍，表演得真逼真啊!那两只狮子就像真正的狮子一样，活蹦乱跳着。

到了晚上，我和爸爸到江滨堤园放烟花，放鞭炮。我们来到一片空地上，爸爸首先拿出“五彩游春”点燃它的引线，过了一会儿，只听见“嗖”的一声，五只彩色的蝴蝶立刻飞上了辽阔的天空，去寻找奇妙的大自然了。接着，爸爸又点燃“小鸟”烟花，“扑”的一声，小鸟冲破了笼子，飞了出去。刚放完烟花，就放大礼花了，它真美啊! 有的像弯弯的垂柳，有的像无数颗流星，有的像五光十色的花朵，还有的像天上的七仙女下凡来到人间似的，撒下朵朵神花，整个四会笼罩在欢乐之中。我正沉醉在放大礼花的情景中，另一边又开始放烟花，把大地照得如同白昼一样。多美呀!令我目不暇接。

开始放鞭炮，一串串鞭炮在人们手中点燃，声音真大，四处飞溅，仿佛要把每一个祝福送到千家万户，一阵阵爆竹声接连不断，噼里啪啦的，热闹非凡。

这热闹非凡的情景，令我想起了宋代王安石的《元日》:爆竹声中一岁除，春风送暖入屠苏。千门万户瞳瞳日，总把新桃换旧符。

虽然春节在不知不觉中溜走了，但我永远也不会忘记。

我是新上海人，我的祖籍是湖南。和上海不同的是，我的家乡有号称八百里的洞庭湖、有连绵起伏的群山、有湘资沅澧等四条奔腾不息的大江;还有神秘传奇的桃花源、风景如画的张家界、闻名中外的岳阳楼。我的家乡物产丰富，湘绣、瓷器、莲藕、茶叶是湖南的特产。

湖南的饮食也是非常有特色，几乎每个菜都要放辣椒，湘菜是中国八大菜系之一，它强调以“色”夺人，具有酸、辣、香、麻、焦的特点，让人垂涎欲滴。

Hunan food is very distinctive, almost every dish to put pepper, Hunan is one of the eight famous Chinese cuisines, it emphasizes the duo to "color", has the characteristics of acid, spicy, sweet, hemp, coke, mouth watering.

湖南是英雄辈出的地方。爸爸告诉我，毛泽东、刘少奇、彭德怀等老一辈无产阶级革命家都是湖南人，中国第一位伟大诗人屈原的故乡就是在湖南汨罗，清代的湘军首领曾国藩就是湖南湘乡人，还有世界“杂交水稻之父”袁隆平就生活工作在湖南长沙……

Hunan is a fertile land, is my hometown, I love Hunan, I love the motherland! I must Study hard, grow up to build their homes more beautiful, to make our country more powerful

Almost everyone has one idol,or maybe more than one.Someone’s idol is maybe

a Movie star.For example,Li Ming. Someone’s is likely to be a Sports star,such

as Yao Ming or Beckham.The idols are different from different persons.And my

idol is my mother.Why do we need a idol?I think the idol can set an example for

us and bring fulfillment.

No mother,no I.It is my mother gives me life.For my safe birthing,my mother

had suffered great pain.Mother’s love is the greatest thing in the world.Then

she takes good care of me,so I have a happy childhood.In the course,she is so

careful and patient.This is the love that I need to learn.My mother is

hard-working and diligent.She always gets up early and do the housework,and

other things.This sets an very good example to me.

and gradually,I develop a habit of getting up early and help her to do some

work.In school,I will go to read books in the morinig.She is also virtuous.She

is helpful.When some neighbours need help,my motherdoesnt hesitate help them.I

have been doing the same like my mother.And she is attentive,She is supportive

of the things I do.When I face a choice,she can let me make a choice.Then she

will support me.And when the time that I feel unhappy and heart-struc.

she will console me,then I will restore confidence and my body will be full

of strength.

I love my mother very much.She is my idol,the model also.She is the

greatest person in my heart.

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.

the family had just moved to rhode island, and the young woman was feeling a little melancholy on that sunday in may. after all, it was mothers day -- and 800 miles separated her from her parents in ohio.

一家人刚移居罗德岛。5月的那个星期天， 年轻女人感到有点儿忧伤。毕竟， 这一天是母亲节─而她却与俄亥俄州的父母亲遥距800英里。

she had called her mother that morning to wish her a happy mothers day, and her mother had mentioned how colorful the yard was now that spring had arrived. as they talked, the younger woman could almost smell the tantalizing aroma of purple lilacs hanging on the big bush outside her parentsback door.

她那天早上给母亲打去电话， 祝母亲节日愉快。随后， 她的母亲向她提起， 因为春天已经来临， 所以院子里的色彩是多么绚丽。在她们通话的当儿， 年轻女人几乎可以闻到悬垂在父母亲后门外大灌木丛上的紫丁香醉人的芬芳。

later, when she mentioned to her husband how she missed those lilacs, he popped up from his chair. i know where we can find you all you want, he said. get the kids and cmon.

so off they went, driving the country roads of northern rhode island on the kind of day only mid-may can produce：sparkling sunshine, unclouded azure skies and vibrant newness of the green growing all around. they went past small villages and burgeoning housing developments, past abandoned apple orchards, back to where trees and brush have devoured old homesteads.

后来， 她向丈夫说起她是如何怀念那些紫丁香时， 他突然从椅子上跃起。我知道在哪儿能找到你想要的东西， 他说， 带上孩子， 走吧。

于是， 他们就出发了， 驱车行驶在罗德岛北部的乡村小路上， 那种天气只有5月中旬才会有：闪亮的阳光、蔚蓝色的晴空以及生机勃勃、随处可见的绿意。他们穿过一座座小村庄和一座座拔地而起的房屋， 穿过废弃的苹果园， 来到了树林和嗄敬匝谟车睦吓

where they stopped, dense thickets of cedars and ju nipers and birch crowded the roadway on both sides. there wasnt a lilac bush in sight.

come with me , the man said. over that hill is an old cellar hole, from somebodys farm of years ago, and there are lilacs all round it. the man who owns this land said i could poke around here anytime. im sure he wont mind if we pick a few lilacs.

他们停下车。车道两边长满了茂盛的雪松、杜松和白桦树。眼前没有一棵紫丁香。

随我来， 那个男人说， 翻过那座小山， 有个老地窖， 几年前是一个人的农场， 四周长满了紫丁香。这块地的主人说我可以随时到这儿来闲逛。我相信， 要是我们采几束紫丁香， 他不会介意。

before they got halfway up the hill, the fragrance of the lilacs drifted down to them, and the kids started running. soon, the mother began running, too, until she reached the top. there, far from view of passing motorists and hidden from encroaching civilization, were the towering lilacs bushes, so laden with the huge, cone-shaped flower clusters that they almost bent double. with a smile, the young woman rushed up to the nearest bush and buried her face in the flowers, drinking in the fragrance and the memories it recalled.

还没等他们到达半山腰， 紫丁香的芬芳已经向他们飘了过来。于是， 孩子们开始奔跑。不久， 那位母亲也开始跑起来， 直至到达山顶。

那里， 远离了过往司机的视野， 避开了纷扰的文明世界， 高耸的丁香花丛开满了硕大的圆锥形的串串花束， 几乎把花茎压成了两折。那个年轻女人微笑着冲到最近的一处花丛， 把脸埋在鲜花中， 啜饮着芳香， 陶醉在重新唤起的记忆中。

while the man examined the cellar hole and tried to explain to the children what the house must have looked like, the woman drifted among the lilacs. carefully, she chose a sprig here, another one there, and clipped them with her husbands pocket knife. she was in no hurry, relishing each blossom as a rare and delicate treasure. finally, though, they returned to their car for the trip home. while the kids chattered and the man drove, the woman sat smiling, surrounded by her flowers, a faraway look in her eyes.

在那个男人察看地窖试图向孩子们解释这座房子必定是什么样子的当儿， 那个女人不由自主地走进了紫丁香花丛。她小心翼翼地从这儿摘一枝， 那儿挑一束， 然后用丈夫的袖珍小刀将它们剪下来。她不慌不忙， 像欣赏稀有珍宝似地欣赏着每一朵花。

然而， 他们终于还是返回了汽车， 走上了回家的路。孩子们叽叽喳喳说个不停， 那个男人驾着车， 那个女人坐在那儿面带微笑， 她周围放满了鲜花， 眼睛里充满着向往。

when they were within three miles of home, she suddenly shouted to her husband, stop the car. stop right here! the man slammed on the brakes. before he could ask her why she wanted to stop, the woman was out of the car and hurrying up a nearby grassy slope with the lilacs still in her arms. at the top of the hill was a nursing home and, because it was such a beautiful spring day, the patients were outdoors strolling with relatives or sitting on the porch.

当他们离家不足3英里时， 她突然向丈夫大声喊道：停车， 就在这里停车!

那个男人嘎地刹住车。还没等他问为什么， 女人就已经下了车， 匆匆走向附近的草坡， 怀里仍抱着紫丁香。山顶上是一家疗养院， 因为这是一个美丽的春日， 所以病人正在室外和亲友溜达或坐在门廊上。

the young woman went to the end of the porch, where an elderly patient was sitting in her wheelchair, alone, head bowed, her back to most of the others. across the porch railing went the flowers, in to the lap of the old woman. she lifted her head, and smiled. for a few moments, the two women chatted, both aglow with happiness, and then the young woman turned and ran back to her family. as the car pulled away, the woman in the wheelchair waved, and clutched the lilacs.

那个年轻女人走到门廊的尽头， 只见那里有一个上了年纪的病人正坐在轮椅里， 独自一人， 低着头， 背对着其他人。年轻女人越过门廊栏杆， 将鲜花放在了老太太的膝间。老太太抬起头， 露出了笑脸。两个女人聊了一会儿， 都兴高采烈。随后， 那个年轻女人转身跑回到家人的身边。当汽车开动时， 坐在轮椅里的那个女人挥动着手， 手里紧紧地握着那束紫丁香花。

mom, the kids asked, who was that?why did you give her our flowers?is she somebodys mother?the mother said she didnt know the old woman. but it was mothers day, and she seemed so alone, and who wouldnt be cheered by flowers?besides, she added, i have all of you, and i still have my mother, even if she is far away. that woman needed those flowers more than i did.

this satisfied the kids, but not the husband. the next day he purchased half a dozen young lilacs bushes and planted them around their yard, and several times since then he has added more.

妈妈， 孩子们问， 那人是谁呀?你为什么把我们的花送给她?她是谁的母亲呀?他们的母亲说， 她不认识那个老太太， 但今天是母亲节， 她看起来是那么孤独， 而鲜花会给任何人带来好心情。再说， 她补充道， 我拥有你们， 而且我还有自己的母亲， 即使她离我很远。那个女人比我更需要那些鲜花。

孩子们得到了满意的答案， 但她的丈夫却没有。第二天， 他买了半打紫丁香幼苗， 栽到了院子四周;而且从那以后， 每隔一段时间， 他就会增加一些。

i was that man. the young mother was, and is, my wife. now, every may, our own yard is redolent with lilacs. every mothers day our kids gather purple bouquets. and every year i remember that smile on a lonely old womans face, and the kindness that put the smile there.

我就是那个男人， 那个年轻母亲是我妻子。如今， 每年5月， 我们自家的院子都会散发出浓烈的紫丁香的芬芳。每逢母亲节， 我们的孩子都要采撷紫丁香花束。而且每年我都会记起一位孤独的老太太脸上露出的笑容， 以及笑容里呈现出的那种慈祥。
