Loneliness is a curious thing. Most of us can remember feeling most lonely when we were not in fact alone at all, but when we were surrounded by people.Everyone has experienced,at some time,that utter sense of isolation that comes over youwhen you’re at a party or in an audience at a lecture.It suddenly seems to you as if everybody knows everybody else;everybody is sure of himself;everybody,that is, except you.
This feeling of loneliness which can overcome you when you are in a crowd is very difficult to get rid of.People living alone are advised to tackle their loneliness by joining a club or a society,by going out and meeting people.Does this really help?
There are no easy solutions.Your first day at work,or at a new school or university,is a typical situation in which you are likely to feel lonely.You feel that everybody else is full of confidence and knows what to do ,but you are adrift andhelpless.The fact of the matter is that,in order to survive,we all put on a show of self-confidence to hide our uncertainties and doubts.

About Sea 关于大海
I live in a small village. I have never seen sea. But I see it many times in the TV. It is very beautiful. In my hometown, the water in the river is a little yellow and the river is small. But the sea is different. In the TV, I can’t see the end of the sea and its water is blue. It is amazing. It is said that is voice and wind of the sea are also very comfortable. My ten years birthday wish is to have a look at sea.
我住在一个小村庄。我从没看过海。但我在电视上看到过很多次。很漂亮。在我家乡，河里的水是有点点黄的。但是大海却是不一样的。在电视上，我看不到海的'尽头而且水是蓝色的。真的很神奇。听说大海的声音和海风也是很舒服的。我十岁生日的愿望就是去看海。
The Sea 大海
What do you know about the sea? Some people know about it, but others don't. The sea looks beautiful on a fine sunny day, but when there's a strong wind, it's very rough. What else do you know about it?
Of course, the sea is very big. In the world, there is more sea than land. Do you know Hainan Island? It's really very nice. We can see beaches, trees and the sea. We can swim and visit a lot of beautiful places.
When you swim in the sea, you feel that the water is salty.
At last, I tell you about the Dead Sea. Fish can't live in it, because it's dangerous. This sea is too salty.
The sea is nice, but sometimes it's not good.
你是怎么知道大海？有些人不了解它，但其他人没有。美丽的大海看起来是在一个阳光明媚的一天，但是当有一个强烈的风，它很粗糙。知道你还做了什么？
当然，海是非常大的。在这个世界上，有更多的海洋资源。你知道海南岛吗？这真的很漂亮。我们可以看到海滩，树和海。我们可以游泳和参观很多美好的地方。
当你在海中游泳，你觉得这水是咸的'。
最后，我告诉你一些关于死海。鱼不能生活在它，因为它是危险的。海水是咸的。
海是漂亮的，但有时是不好的。
WEALTH AND HAPPINESS 富裕 和 幸福
There is no same opinion among people as to the view of wealth. Some people may think that wealth is the most important and powerful thing in life, while some other people believe that there are many things that cannot be bought with wealth.As far as I am concerned, I agree with the latter opinion. There’s an old proverb, “Money can cure hunger, but it can’t cure happiness” which simply means wealth can buy us some material things but cannot make us happy and free from sadness or worries.
在人们看来，财富的观点是不一样的。有些人可能认为财富是人生中最重要和最重要的东西，而另一些人则认为，有很多东西是无法用财富来购买的，而就我而言，我同意后者的观点。有一句古老的'谚语：“钱能治好，但不能治好幸福”，简单地说，财富能给我们买点东西，却不能使我们快乐，不让悲伤和烦恼。
In fact, happiness, true love, friendship, time, health and so on are the most valuable things in the world and can never ever be bought with money. Those who just try their best to make money can’t realize the true meaning of life and will be the slaves for money. They can’t enjoy happiness, for they have lost everything, time, relatives, love except money. Then, what can money do? No one will share the happy moment with them.So, I think, money is not at all powerful while happiness is more important. If we always have happiness, we’ll never give up the belief to life.
事实上，幸福，真正的爱情，友谊，时间，健康等等都是世界上最有价值的东西，永远不会被金钱买来。那些尽自己最大努力赚钱的人，无法实现人生的真正意义，并将成为金钱的奴隶。他们不能享受幸福，因为他们失去了一切，时间，亲人，爱除了金钱。那么，钱怎么办？没有人会和他们一起分享快乐的时刻，所以，我认为，金钱不是万能的，而幸福更重要。如果我们永远拥有幸福，我们就永远不会放弃对生活的信念。
On-line Shopping Carnival 网络购物狂欢节
When it comes to November 11, what’s on your mind? Well, as to the old generations, it’s only an ordinary day; however,the young generations will consider it as the Singles’ Day as well as the on-line shopping carnival. In fact, on November 11th, 20xx, Tmall and Taobao(the biggest Chinese online shopping platform) has sold out more than 35 billion Yuan goods, this data has astonished the media at home and abroad.Apparently, people have more interests on cyber shopping than spend the night with their single friends. Some home media even suggest that November 11thshould be the Chinese on-line shopping carnival.
当人们提到11月11日，你想到了什么？对于老一辈的人来说，这一天和平常一样；然而，对于年轻人来说，这天不仅仅是“光棍节”，也是网络购物狂欢节。事实上，在今年的双11，天猫和淘宝（中国最大的网络购物平台）卖出了价值高达350多亿元的商品，这一数据惊呆了国内外的'媒体。显而易见，大家对网络购物的热情超出了与单身好友共度“光棍”节的兴趣。有些国内的媒体甚至建议每年的11月11日应该是中国的网络购物狂欢节。
In 20xx, Jack Ma, the CEO of Tmall andTaobao, had coined the term “Double Eleven”, aimed to encourage the single people to do something to celebrate their own festival. Instead of datinglovers, people go on-line shopping to relive the loneliness. According to the survey, China had 564 million Internet users at the end of last year and 180 million single people. And the single people are the main force of the China’s spending power. The debut was a great success. Then “11.11” has an unusual meaning, which stands for on-line shopping carnival.
在20xx年，天猫和淘宝的首席执行官马云，创造出了一个新词：“双11”，目的是为了鼓励单身朋友去做些与众不同的事情，以此庆祝他们自己的节日。没有情人约会，那就上网购物减轻自己的孤独感吧。调查显示:去年中国的网民有五亿六千四百万人，其中有一亿八千万的单身汉。而这些单身汉正好是网络购物的主力军。于是，“双11”被赋予了不同的意义，那就是网络购物狂欢节。
Comparing with the traditional shopping,the cyber shopping has more distinguish features, which quite fit the young generations’ taste. People do not need to go outside, just click their mouse, the goods will be home. The best part is you can do it anywhere, anytime. All you need is acredit card. What we can predict in the future is that on-line shopping is not going to fade away, instead, it will boost like the mushrooms after springrains.
和传统的购物相比，网络购物有着更为明显的特点，这更符合年轻人的口味。人们不需要外出，只需点击一下鼠标，商品就会送到家。最棒的是你可以在任何时间任何地点进行购物。你只需一张信用卡。我们可以预测到在将来，网购不会淡出我们的生活，它就像雨后春笋，不断增长。

面朝南方Facing South
An old friend used to say to me, "When you are thinking of buying a new house, go and see it on a cloudy day. If you like it then, you need not doubt about liking it in better weather."
一个老朋友曾经告诉我:"当你考虑买一套新房时,就趁阴天的时候过去看房吧。因为如果那时你喜欢它的话,那么在天气晴朗的日子里你一定也会喜欢它。
We all enjoy the sun. The sun is the source of heat and life to the earth. Yet people are still to be found who deliberately shut out the sun from their rooms, and are unmindful of the Italian saying that where the sun does not go the doctor does. In this country, especially, we know the value of "facing south".
"我们都喜欢阳光。太阳是地球上热量与生命的来源。然而,我们仍然发现有些人总是故意关上门,将阳光挡在门外,他们忽略了一句意大利谚语"日光不上门,医生便上门"。在这个国家里,我们都知道"面朝南方"的重要性。
Are we not like houses? We have eyes instead of windows, but we face south, north, east, or west. Who does not know the men and the women facing north? Hard and cold, never letting a ray of sun-shine into their souls. They stand away from all the cheers and warmth of our poor humanity. They are the people who pour cold water on all our enthusiasms, have no faith in human nature, no sympathy with human sufferings.
我们不就像是房子吗?只不过我们没有窗户,但是我们拥有眼睛,我们可以选择面朝各个方向。我们都知道那些面朝北方的人们是怎样的。他们顽固而冷酷,从不让一丝阳光照进他们的心灵。他们总是躲在角落里,拒绝人性的欢乐与温暖。他们总是浇灭旁人热情的火焰,不相信人性,冷眼看待他人的痛苦。
You must know such people. They are not rich people, perfectly healthy, or people without sorrows. On the contrary, they have had a full measure of misfortune. But they have never changed their outlooks4 on life, in their faith in all things working together for good, in their belief that they are in this world to help where help is needed. What a consolation5 such people are! We go to them in entire confidence. We leave them the better and the brighter, with a firmer step, and the determination to win through the difficulties. They are "facing south".
你必定也认识这样一种人:他们不是有钱人,不是身体特别健全的人,也不是无忧无虑的人。相反,他们的生活中充满了不幸。但他们从不改变对生活的态度,在他们看来,所有的事情都在朝着好的方向发展,他们坚持帮助那些需要帮助的`人。他们能给人带来极大的安慰!我们满怀信心地靠近他们,离开他们的时候变得更加乐观和开朗,我们的脚步会变得更为坚定,战胜困难的决心也会更大。他们就是"面朝南方"的人。

One of the most interesting paradoxes in America today is that Harvard University, the oldest institution of higher learning in the United States, is now engaged in a serious debate about what a university should be, and whether it is measuring up.
Like the Roman Catholic Church and other ancient institutions, it is asking - still in private rather than in public - whether its past assumptions about faculty, authority, admissions, courses of study, are really relevant to the problems of the 1990s.
『Should Harvard or any other university be an intellectual sanctuary, apart from the political and social revolution of the age, or should it be a laboratory for experimentation with these political and social revolutions; or even an engine of the revolution? 』This is what is being discussed privately in the big clapboard houses of faculty members around the Harvard Yard.
The issue was defined by Waiter Lippmann, a distinguished Harvard graduate, several years ago. If the universities are to do their work, he said, they must be independent and they must be disinterested They are places to which men can turn for judgements which are unbiased by partisanship and special interest. 『Obviously, the moment the universities fall under political control, or under the control of private interests, or the moment they themselves take a hand in politics and the leadership of government, their value as independent and disinterested sources of judgement is impaired.』

Editors of newspapers and magazines often go to extremes to provide their readers with unimportant facts and statistics. Last year a journalist had been instructed by a well-known magazine to write an article on the president's palace in a new African republic. When the article arrived, the editor read the first sentence and then refused to publish it. The article began: 'Hundreds of steps lead to the high wall which surrounds the president's palace.' The editor at once
sent the journalist a fax instructing him to find out the exact number of steps and the height of the wall.
The journalist immediately set out to obtain these important facts, but he took a long time to send them. Meanwhile, the editor was getting impatient, for the magazine would soon go to press. He sent the journalist two urgent telegrams, but received no reply. He sent yet another telegram informing the journalist that if he did not reply soon he would be fired. When the journalist again failed to reply, the editor reluctantly published the article as it had originally been written. A week later, the editor at last received a telegram from the journalist. Not only had the poor man been arrested, but he had been sent to prison as well. However, he had at last been allowed to send a cable in which he informed the editor that he had been arrested while counting the 1084 steps leading to the 15-foot wall which surrounded the president's palace.
报刊杂志的编辑常常为了向读者提供成立一些关紧要的事实和统计数字而走向极端。去年，一位记者受一家有名的杂志的委托写一篇关于非洲某个新成立共和国总统府的文章。稿子寄来后，编辑看第一句话就拒绝予以发表。文章的开头是这样的："几百级台阶通向环绕总统的'高墙。"编辑立即给那位记者发去传真，要求他核实一下台阶的确切数字和围墙的高度。
记者立即出发去核实这些重要的事实，但过了好长时间不见他把数字寄来，在此期间，编辑等得不耐烦了，因为杂志马上要付印。他给记者先后发去两份传真，但对方毫无反应。于是他又发了一份传真，通知那位记者说，若再不迅速答复，将被解雇。但记者还是没有回复。编辑无奈，勉强按原样发稿了。一周之后，编辑终于接到记者的传真。那个可怜的记者不仅被捕了，而且还被送进了监狱。不过，他终于获准发回了一份传真。在传真中他告诉编辑，就在他数通向15英尺高的总统府围墙的1，084级台阶时，被抓了起来。

现代英语教学已经由传统的知识型方法正迅速地向语言交际运用型教学方法过渡。也就是现在教育界说得较多的“素质教育”问题。英语，作为一门语言课，教师如何教、引导学生如何学？这不仅是目前要求每位教学一线执教者和教育研究家必须回答的问题，而且是学校管理者、操作者以及全社会都关心的问题。学生素质的提高，一要靠自身临场的发挥，更要靠平时教师对他们学习解题方法的训练有素。教师如果靠时间一题一题的传授，学生靠一题一题地记“会”，那么在考场上最多是个中分低能的机器，就不用说是将来适应社会了。会教的人，往往是教给学生金钥匙；因此，只要你从事教育教学，你都不光是给学生灌输知识，而必须走向学生“交钥匙”的道路。对教学悟的深，你教给学生金钥匙，悟的不深你交给学生铜钥匙；哪怕你交给学生铁钥匙，也比交给他们现存的金山、银山强。因为现在教材和考试的阅读理解文章中，普遍源于英语报刊的“原汁原味”的真东西越来越多，“国产”英文材料越来越少；没有拿到“钥匙”的人，只能在知识殿堂的门外徘徊。
在小学阶段要不要设立专门的阅读训练课程呢？训练的具体方式和方法又是什么呢？本文拟就小学英语教学中阅读教学方法问题作一些讨论。
一，设立小学英语阅读教学训练的目的。
小学英语课程既是学生通过英语学习和实践活动，逐步掌握英语知识和技能，提高语言实际运用能力的过程；又是他们磨砺意志、陶冶情操、拓展视野、丰富生活经历、开发思维能力、发展个性和提高人文素养的过程。基础教研阶段英语课程的任务是：激发和培养学生学习英语的兴趣，使学生树立自信心，养成良好的学习习惯和形成有效的学习策略，发展自主学习的能力和合作精神；使学生掌握一定的英语基础知识和听、说、读、写技能，形成一定的综合运用语言能力；培养学生的观察、记忆、思维、想象能力和创新精神；帮助学生了解世界和中西方文化差异，拓展视野，培养爱国主义精神，形成健康的人生观，为他们的终身学习和发展打下良好的基础。
因此，在教学实践中，我尝试在五年级的学生中开展英语短文的阅读教学和阅读训练。为什么要在小学阶段进行专题的英语阅读的训练呢？首先我们来谈谈什么是阅读理解。阅读理解是读者从语篇中获取信息的过程。著名语言学家Christine Nuttall认为，作者将自己头脑中的信息编码（encoding），形成语篇（text），读者再把语篇解码，获取信息。作者要把他头脑里的信息（一个主意，一个事实或一种情感）传达出去，让别人理解，他首先必须把信息形诸于文字，即编码，作者亦被称为编码者。作者一旦完成了编码过程，信息就以语篇的形式存在于作者的头脑之外。阅读过程则是一个解码过程。作者要传达的信息进入读者头脑，交际过程随之完成。但是，交际过程并非如此简单，因为在交际的各个环节中都可能出现“故障”，致使交际中断，信息无法传递。信息在从作者的头脑到达读者的头脑里的过程中，若干因素会影响读者接受信息。这些因素被心理学家们称之为变量。 “文字含义并不是仅仅存在于文本中的符号，被动地等待读者吸收。阅读者必须积极投入其中，努力挖掘它的含义” 由此我们可以理解到在阅读过程中，语言材料和读者是交互作用的。文字含义既不存在于语篇（text）之中，也不存在于读者之内，它产生于两者相互作用之中。在英语阅读过程中，存在着若干变量（ variables），这些变量无疑都会对阅读理解产生影响。五年级的学生学习英语已有一段时间了，他们的听说读写能力也有了一定的基础，开展阅读教学和阅读训练不但能关注每个学生情感，激发他们学习英语的兴趣，还能帮助他们建立学习的成就感和自信心，使他们在学习过程中发展综合语言运用能力，提高人文素养，增强实践能力，培养创新精神。
二，小学英语课堂阅读教学方法。
进入了五年级，课文从原来简短的对话一下子转换成较长的具有故事性的短文。而每个模块的Unit2 则出现了50个词左右的小短文，学习的要求从简单的听读提高到阅读理解短文内容并就课后提出的问题作出书面或口头的回答。由于每课出现的问题有5－6个，有一般疑问句也有特殊疑问句，学生们一下子适应不了，觉得英语真难啊。个别学生还出现了抗拒的心理，说什么也不愿意开口读，动手写。
分析了学生学习的心理和学习的方法后，我马上调整了教学计划，在讲授新课的同时注重这两种句式的运用和分析。通过口头的、书面的练习、学生们对问句的形式及回答的方式都做到心中有数。其方法如下：一、准确理解疑问词―― 准确理解疑问词是解答好提问的关键。要想准确回答特殊疑问句，则必须首先弄清楚各个特殊疑问词的意思。如果指人要用who，若指物就用what；指年龄用how old，指时间用what time 、 when；若问 “数量”用how many（可数）或how much（不可数）；指地点用where，指原因用why，指程度用how等等。 二，一般疑问句的回答方式―― 一般疑问句的回答方式比较特别，学生们通过形式多样的练习得出：以Yes / No,作开头，回答时要含有问句的第一个词或是回应问题的中心词。如：Did Tom play football yesterday? 回答时可用：Yes, he did. / No, he didn’t. 回答从简单的Yes / No，到规范的Yes, he did. / No, he didn’t. 再到No, he played basketball.逐步发展学生的英语运用能力。
在学习Sam ate six hamburgers中。我设置了以下的问题：
( 1 ) Who ate six hamburgers?
( 2 ) Did Lingling eat any hamburgers?
( 3 ) Does she like hamburgers?
( 4 ) What did they give to Sam?
( 5 ) What is Mum going to cook tonight?
通过以上的训练，学生们在回答问题时会分析问题中一般疑问句的有( 2 ) Did Lingling eat any hamburgers? ( 3 ) Does she like hamburgers?；特殊疑问句的是( 1 ) Who ate six hamburgers? ( 4 ) What did they give to Sam?( 5 ) What is Mum going to cook tonight?。针对各种问题的回答方式，他们就会很轻松地回答：
( 1 ) Who ate six hamburgers?
Sam. / Sam ate six hamburgers.
( 2 ) Did Lingling eat any hamburgers?
No, she didn’t. / No, she ate a sandwich.
( 3 ) Does she like hamburgers?
No, she doesn’t. / No.
( 4 ) What did they give to Sam?
They gave their hamburgers to Sam. / Hamburgers.
( 5 ) What is Mum going to cook tonight?
She is going to cook Chinese food tonight. / Chinese food.
这样的阅读训练，结合了阅读的理解和解题技巧的培养，课程设置从易到难，让学生们，特别是一些中下生都能感受到成功的乐趣。
接下来，在阅读教学中，采用提问式、谈话式、讨论式教学法，将课堂教学引向激发——创造性模式。阅读文章时,对所学文章要点,教师提出要求,学生阅读,寻找答案、引导学生阅读时注意抓住全文的主旨。主要有：
（1） 导读（Pre-reading）
“导”体现的是“以教师为主导”。教师在学生阅读课文之前可适当的讲解与本课有关的.背景知识；也可以充分利用文中的插图进行导读语言设计。通过warm-up activities扫除文中可能出现的语言障碍（但有些生词词义应该鼓励学生从所学的同义词、英语短语中猜测），还可以提出一些问题。目的是激发学生阅读的兴趣和求知的欲望，并使学生初步感知课文内容，为正式阅读作了准备。例如在教授Module 7 Community. He can’t see. 我利用实物投影出示了狗帮助人类的两幅图片。
T: Look at these pictures, please! Who helps the man?
Ss: A dog.
T: Can the man see?
Ss: No, he can’t.
T: Yes, the man is blind. What about the girl? Can she hear ?
Ss: A dog helps her. She can’t hear.
T: Good. The girl can’t hear, she’s deaf. The dogs are very useful.
通过对话不仅使学生了解了本文主要谈论的是狗是人类的朋友，也从彩图中领略到哪些人需要得到狗的帮助及本课的一些新词 can’t see : blind, can’t hear: deaf。
（2） 速读（Fast-reading）
这一步骤主要是指导学生带着问题进行搜索式阅读和跳跃式的阅读（Skimming and Scanning），以获取有关信息，了解文章大义。然后让学生回答有关问题，或让学生做正误判断练习，以检查学生的理解程度。
例如：Module 6 Self-assessment
① Lingling wants to be in the football team（T）
② She can’t run fast. (T)
③ She was good at football in China. (F) …
(3)细读（Intensive reading）
这一步骤主要引导学生逐步仔细阅读课文，了解课文的主要情节和细节，就课文内容情节提一些问题，让学生分析段落大以及段落之间的联系或中心思想。对文中尚未叫过的生词和习惯用于句式，可鼓励学生根据上下文利用已学过的知识去猜测去推断。目的是培养学生独立分析、独立思考和逻辑推理的能力，以及用英语思维的习惯。
例如：在细读 You can play football well 之后涉及的一道题中。
Lingling was a good ______ player in China.
A. the high jump B. basketball C. football
正确答案应选B。而选A向的同学仅9.4%选C的占75%。当提醒学生在注意原文中的句子“You were very good at basketball in China.”其中的you指的就是 Lingling时，学生才恍然大悟。教师乘机告诉学生，读的过程中要仔细分析字里行间的意思在下结论。
三，其他训练的方式。
Bolinger & Sear 在“Aspects of language”一书（1981.2）中说语言是思维的重要工具，也是一个人的语言运用水平和交际的能力。传统的教学中使大多数学生听得懂说不出。因此，在整体理解课文的基础上，通过一连串的听说活动深化对语言的理解, 然后开展运用语言的活动，把理解和运用有机的结合起来。
1）单人或双人活动（Individual or Pair work）
为了巩固学生所学的知识，及时检查学生对课文理解的程度。速读和细读之后组织学生一人或两人一组的活动。教师问，学生答，或学生一人问一人答。这能使学生掌握文章的事实和细节。还可鼓励学生分析主题句，归纳段落大意，中心思想等。例如：What’s the main idea of the text? / What does it talk about?
2）小组讨论与回答（Discussion & Respond）
Module 8 Unit 2为例。教师提出问题,Did Lingling write a letter to Daming? / Did she go to Amy’s school? / Did they have class at nine? / Did they do exercises? / Did the bell ring at eight?…让学生在小组内自由回答或讨论答案。让学生通过回答问题和讨论答案初步了解课文的意思。教师在听学生回答问题的过程中也可以弄清学生的薄弱环节。这样的阅读训练,就能有的放矢,既不浪费时间,又能吸引学生的注意力。学生在解答问题的同时,阅读能力和口语能力都得到了锻炼。同时也提高了学生的逻辑思维能力和语言运用能力。通过小组学习、自我学习、教师辅助学习等形式，让学生明白到课文的理解并不是逐字逐句的译成中文，而是理解关键的词组和了解短文的大意。并指导学生在做题之前先观察问题的类型，从问句中找出关键词，再从原文中找出相应的句子，分析、综合之后再做题。
3）“双主体”教育模式。
此外我还注意因学生特点实施教学。学生的发展状况受先天遗传和后天环境、教育的影响，在学习英语知识、培养技能和能力的认知过程中存在着认知的个别差异。认知差异既体现在认知能力方面，也体现在认知风格上，学生的发展因此呈现出丰富多彩的特点。通过因材施教使全体学生的素质得到全面发展，为全面提高英语教学质量提供重要保证。在教学中要充分发挥学生的主体作用，使他们排除心理障碍，建立信心，提高学习兴趣，改进学习方法。同时，在教学中要发挥教师的指导作用，组织好课内外各种活动和指导学生学习英语的方法，为他们选材、解疑，帮助他们养成良好的学习习惯和培养自学能力，从而保持高昂的学习积极性。在英语阅读教学中,介绍阅读内容和文化背景，精心设计好各类问题，逐步加深理解。引导学生对文章内容进行预测，激发学生阅读的欲望，在分析问题的过程中获得知识。在阅读时,教师要引导学生唤起想象与抽象思维更好地协同活动, 语言知识的讲解要适度，操练要结合语境，使文章内容更有生动现实感,使学生有身临其境的感觉,这样就能提高阅读效果。
其实，不单在英语阅读教学中教师要这样做，在日常教学中，教师应遵循“双主体”的教学模式：教师为主导，学生为主体，学生在教师的指导下积极主动地去学习。教师在教学中尊重学生，相信学生，把学习的主动权交给学生，放手让学生自己去大胆学习、实践，充分调动学生的积极性，发挥其主观能动性和潜能，才能达到发展智力、培养能力的目的。学生作为主体参与课堂教学，让学生积极参与教学过程，在参与中得到训练和发展。
相信经过长时间有计划、有目的的系统训练，学生加快阅读速度，提高阅读的正确性，这两者一定能有机地统一起来。以提高学生阅读英语和运用英语进行交际的能力，为继续学习和运用英语切实打好基础。

When their children was born, people called them the rich second generation. The public always read some negative news about these rich guys, their label seemed to be young and reckless. But it is not true for all.
自上世纪末以来,中国的经济发展非常快, 给一部分人带来了机遇,让他们赚了很多钱。他们的孩子出生时,人们称他们为富二代。公众对这些有钱人总是看到一些负面新闻,他们的标签似乎年轻和不计后果的。但并不是所有的富二代都这样。
We must realize that those second rich generation who are reported in the news are negative image. The rich people belong to small part of it and most people are still struggling in the well-off level. So these negative image can help to ease their jealousness. What’s more, the negative news is always easy to catch the public’s attention and raise them to discuss. That’s the value of news report.
我们必须意识到那些新闻报道中的富二代都是负面的形象。富人仍是属于小的一部分,大多数人仍苦苦挣扎在小康水平。所以这些富二代的负面形象可以缓解他们的嫉妒心。更重要的是,负面新闻总是容易吸引公众的注意力,引起他们的讨论。这是新闻报道的价值。
Let’s take a look at the real rich second generation. They are born in the rich family and surely to win over most kids. But they know they have to learn, as so to compete with other excellent guys. They have the good resouces and they can make use of them, which help them to be skillful and knowledgable.
让我们看一看真正的`富二代。他们出生在富裕的家庭,肯定赢过大多数的孩子。但他们知道必须学习,这样才能与其他优秀的人竞争。他们拥有好的资源可以利用,让他们变得有技能,并且知识渊博。
This is the true about these rich kids, as the common kid, we have no reason to give up studying.
这才是真正的富二代,作为普通的孩子,我们更没有理由放弃学习。

Party? No, the star of Transformers and the new Indiana Jones film would rather work
Mar.12
Shia LaBeouf, the star of last summer's hit film Transformers, didn't enjoy a privileged childhood like many other child actors. Growing up in an impoverished Los Angeles neighborhood, Shia acted in order to earn money. His first acting experiences were performing as a clown with his parents to sell hot dogs. He never imagined acting would earn him the opportunity to star with Harrison Ford in the upcoming indiana Jones movie.
Shia comes from five generations of performers. Among his grandparents are a comedian and a poet. His mother danced ballet until an injury forced her to stop. Shia's father worked as a clown, but he also battled drug addictions. Unfortunately, his parents divorces when Shia was in elementary shcool.
Shia began acting to help earn money for his mother, whom he lived with after the divorce. At age10, he got a job as a comedian, and, at 13, he won a starring role in a Disney television series. It was the 20xx movie Holes, however, that played the most important role in Shia's early career.

A Plate of Peas 一盘豌豆
My grandfather died when I was a small boy, and my grandmother started staying with us for about six months every year. She lived in a room that doubled as my father's office, which we referred to as "the back room." She carried with her a powerful aroma. I don‘t know what kind of perfume she used, but it was the double-barreled, ninety-proof, knockdown, render-the-victim-unconscious, moose-killing variety. She kept it in a huge atomizer and applied it frequently and liberally. It was almost impossible to go into her room and remain breathing for any length of time. When she would leave the house to go spend six months with my Aunt Lillian, my mother and sisters would throw open all the windows, strip the bed, and take out the curtains and rugs. Then they would spend several days washing and airing things out, trying frantically to make the pungent odor go away.
This, then, was my grandmother at the time of the infamous pea incident.
It took place at the Biltmore Hotel, which, to my eight-year-old mind, was just about the fancies place to eat in all of Providence. My grandmother, my mother, and I were having lunch after a morning spent shopping. I grandly ordered a salisbury steak, confident in the knowledge that beneath that fancy name was a good old hamburger with gravy. When brought to the table, it was accompanied by a plate of peas. I do not like peas now. I did not like peas then. I have always hated peas. It is a complete mystery to me why anyone would voluntarily eat peas. I did not eat them at home. I did not eat them at restaurants. And I certainly was not about to eat them now. "Eat your peas," my grandmother said.
"Mother," said my mother in her warning voice. "He doesn‘t like peas. Leave him alone."
My grandmother did not reply, but there was a glint in her eye and a grim set to her jaw that signaled she was not going to be thwarted. She leaned in my direction, looked me in the eye, and uttered the fateful words that changed my life: "I'll pay you five dollars if you eat those peas."
I had absolutely no idea of the impending doom. I only knew that five dollars was an enormous, nearly unimaginable amount of money, and as awful as peas were, only one plate of them stood between me and the possession of that five dollars. I began to force the wretched things down my throat.
My mother was livid. My grandmother had that self-satisfied look of someone who has thrown down an unbeatable trump card. "I can do what I want, Ellen, and you can‘t stop me." My mother glared at her mother. She glared at me. No one can glare like my mother. If there were a glaring Olympics, she would undoubtedly win the gold medal.
I, of course, kept shoving peas down my throat. The glares made me nervous, and every single pea made me want to throw up, but the magical image of that five dollars floated before me, and I finally gagged down every last one of them. My grandmother handed me the five dollars with a flourish. My mother continued to glare in silence. And the episode ended. Or so I thought.
My grandmother left for Aunt Lillian's a few weeks later. That night, at dinner, my mother served two of my all-time favorite foods, meatloaf and mashed potatoes. Along with them came a big, steaming bowl of peas. She offered me some peas, and I, in the very last moments of my innocent youth, declined. My mother fixed me with a cold eye as she heaped a huge pile of peas onto my plate. Then came the words that were to haunt me for years.
"You ate them for money," she said. "You can eat them for love."
Oh, despair! Oh, devastation! Now, too late, came the dawning realization that I had unwittingly damned myself to a hell from which there was no escape.
"You ate them for money. You can eat them for love."
What possible argument could I muster against that? There was none. Did I eat the peas? You bet I did. I ate them that day and every other time they were served thereafter. The five dollars were quickly spent. My grandmother passed away a few years later. But the legacy of the peas lived on, as it lives on to this day. If I so much as curl my lip when they are served (because, after all, I still hate the horrid little things), my mother repeats the dreaded words one more time: "You ate them for money," she says. "You can eat them for love."
生命中的五个球 Five Balls of Life
生命不是一场赛跑, 而是一步一个脚印的旅程。别为生活找借口，过去已成历史，未来充满未知，活在当下，努力当下。
Five Balls of Life
In a university commencement address several years ago, Brian Dyson, CEO of Coca Cola Enterprises, spoke of the relation of work to one’s other commitments:
几年前，在一所大学的开幕典礼中,可口可乐的首席执行官布赖恩?戴森讲到工作与其他义务的关系：
Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air. You name them work, family, health, friends and spirit and you’re keeping all of these in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back.
想象生命是一场不停丢掷五个球于空中的游戏。这五个球分别为工作、家庭、健康、朋友和心灵，而且你很努力地掷着这五个球，不让它们落地。很快地你会了解工作是一个橡皮球。如果你不幸失手落下它，它还是会弹回来。
But the other four balls family, health, friends and spirit are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered. They will never be the same. You must understand that and strive for balance in your life. How?
但是家庭、健康、朋友和心灵这四个球是用玻璃做成的。一旦你失手落下，它们可能会少了一角，留下无法挽回的记号、刻痕、损坏甚至碎落一地。它们将永远不会跟以前一样。你必须了解这个道理，并且为平衡你的生命而努力。但要怎么才做得到呢？
Don’t undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different that each of us is special.
别拿自己和他人比较，这只会降低了你原有的价值。因为我们都是独一无二的，因为我们每一个人都很特别。
Don’t set your goals by what other people deem important. Only you know what is best for you.
别人认为重要的事不一定是你的目标。只有你才知道什么最适合你。
Don’t take for granted the things closest to your heart. Cling to them as they would be your life, for without them, life is meaningless.
不要将贴近你的心的人、事物视为理所当然的存在。你必须将他们视为你的生命一般好好地抓牢他们。没有他们，生命将失去意义。
Don’t let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past or for the future. By living your life one day at a time, you live ALL the days of your life.
别让你的生命总在依恋过去种种或是寄望未来中逝去。如果你活在每个当下，你就活出了生命中的每一天。
Don’t give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.
当你还能给予的时候别轻言放弃。只要你不放弃，就有无限延伸的可能。
Don’t be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect. It is this fragile thread that binds us to each together.
别害怕承认你并非完美。正因如此，我们才得以藉由这脆弱的细丝紧密地串绑在一起。
Don’t be afraid to encounter risks. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.
别害怕遇到危险。正因如此，我们才得以藉由这些机会学习勇敢。
Don’t shut love out of your life by saying it’s impossible to find. The quickest way to receive love is to give it; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly; and the best way to keep love is to give it wings.
别以爱太难找到作为借口而紧闭你的心扉。最迅速找到爱的方法就是给予你的爱；最快速失去爱的方法就是紧紧地守着你的爱不放；维持爱的最好方式就是给爱一双翅膀。
Don’t run through life so fast that you forget not only where you’ve been, but also where you are going.
莫要匆忙地度过你的一生，那匆忙让你忘了曾经到过哪里，也让你忘了你要去哪里。
Don’t forget, a person’s greatest emotional need is to feel appreciated.
莫忘记，人类情感上最大的需要是感恩。
Don’t be afraid to learn. Knowledge is weightless, a treasure you can always carry easily.
莫害怕学习。知识没有重量，它是可以随意携带的珍宝。
Don’t use time or words carelessly. Neither can be retrieved.
莫漫不经心地蹉跎光阴或口无遮拦。时间与言词两者都是一放便收不回来。
Life is not a race, but a journey to be savored each step of the way.
生命不是一场赛跑, 而是一步一个脚印的旅程。
Yesterday is history, Tomorrow is a mystery and Today is a gift: that’s why we call it ‘The Present’.
过去已成历史，未来充满未知。今天是份礼物：那就是我们称之为“现在”的原因。
美文赏析:The Scars of Love 爱的伤疤
伤疤，听起来总有点令人心寒，但你可曾想过有些伤口是一些不想放弃你的人造成的。在你挣扎的过程中，那些爱你的人为了拉住你，才在你身上留下了的伤疤。
The Scars of Love 爱的伤疤
Some years ago on a hot summer day in south Florida a little boy decided togo for a swim in the old swimming hole behind his house.
几年前的一个炎炎夏日，在美国佛罗里达州南部，有个小男孩为贪图凉快，决定去自家房子后面一个形成已久的深水潭中游泳。
In a hurry to dive into the cool water,he ran out the back door,leavingbehind shoes,socks,and shirt as he went. He flew into the water,notrealizing that as he swam toward the middle of the lake,an alligator wasswimming toward the shore. His mother - in the house was looking out thewindow - saw the two as they got closer and closer together. In utterfear,she ran toward the water,yelling to her son as loudly as she could.
因为迫不及待地想投入到清凉的水中，他飞快地从后门跑了出去，边跑边脱掉鞋子、袜子和衬衣，把它们随手抛在了身后。他一头扎进了水里，丝毫没有意识到自己游往潭中心的同时，一只美洲鳄也正在朝岸边游来。小男孩的母亲当时在屋子里透过窗子向外看着，发现那只美洲鳄正向她的孩子步步逼近。她极度惊恐起来，一边迅速奔向水潭，一边声嘶力竭地朝自己的孩子呼喊着。
Hearing her voice, the little boy became alarmed and made a return to swimto his mother. It was too late. Just as he reached her,the alligatorreached him.
听到她的呼喊，小男孩才猛然意识到了危险，立即掉头向岸边的母亲游去。可这时已经无济于事。他的手勉强刚够到他的母亲，鳄鱼也已经接触到了他。
From the dock, the mother grabbed her little boy by the arms just as thealligator snatched his legs. That began an incredible tug-of-war betweenthe two. The alligator was much stronger than the mother, but the motherwas much too passionate to let go. A farmer happened to drive by, heard herscreams, raced from his truck, took aim and shot the alligator.
母亲在岸上拼命地拽紧儿子的手臂，而此时美洲鳄也死死地咬住孩子的腿不放。为了争夺小男孩，母亲和鳄鱼之间俨然展开了一场让人难以置信的拔河较量。美洲鳄的力气显然要比母亲强大得多，但是母亲挽救儿子的坚定信念让她无论如何也绝不放手。就在这万分危急的关头，一位农夫恰巧驾车经过，一听到孩子母亲的尖叫便飞速从卡车上跳下，瞄准鳄鱼并开枪将其射杀。
Remarkably, after weeks and weeks in the hospital, the little boy survived. His legs were extremely scarred by the vicious attack of the animal and, on his arms, were deep scratches where his mother's fingernails dug into his flesh in her effort to hang on to the son she loved.
值得庆幸的是，经过在医院数周的抢救治疗，小男孩居然存活了下来。鳄鱼凶残的袭击在他的`腿上刻下了触目惊心的伤痕。不仅如此，他的双臂上也留下了深深的抓痕，那是在生死关头母亲为了牢牢抓住挚爱的儿子，以至于手指甲都掐入了儿子的肉中所留下的。
The newspaper reporter who interviewed the boy after the trauma, asked if he would show him his scars. The boy lifted his pant legs. And then, with obvious pride, he said to the reporter. But look at my arms. I have great scars on my arms, too. I have them because my mom wouldn't let go.
事后，这位死里逃生的小男孩接受了一位报社记者的采访。当记者问他是否愿意让大家看看他身上的伤疤时，小男孩挽起了自己的裤腿，腿上深深的疤痕暴露无遗。紧接着，他满脸自豪地告诉记者，“大家还是看看我的手臂吧，我的手臂上也有好多伤疤呢。这是妈妈不放开我，在救我的时候留下的。”
You and I can identify with that little boy. We have scars, too. No, not from an alligator, or anything quite so dramatic. But, the scars of a painful past. Some of those scars are unsightly and have caused us deep regret.
看了这个小男孩的故事后，人们都能感同身受。其实我们每个人身上都有伤疤。只不过并不是被鳄鱼咬的，或任何如此戏剧性事件所造成，而是过往的痛苦经历所留下的。那些伤疤是如此难看，让人深感懊悔。
But, some wounds, my friend, are because God has refused to let go. In the midst of your struggle, He's been there holding on to you.
但是，我的朋友，你可曾想过有些伤口是一些不想放弃你的人造成的。在你挣扎的过程中，那些爱你的人为了拉住你，才在你身上留下了这些伤疤。
Holding the hands of time 牵着时光的手
有人说，一旦开始喜欢回忆，那人便老去了。你觉得呢?! 时光如流水，别把太多的时间用在回忆过去，牵着时光的手，一起勇敢前进吧，因为路在前方！
Holding the hands of time
牵着时光的手
Blow-off vision of the rain, so that you are left with a brilliant rainbow.Shuttle time in my fingers, without any regrets, open stemmed bloom ripples. Blunt rolling thick liquid eternal, but you and I, were dispersed in which period of Acacia leaves.
吹断目光的雨，让虹的光辉带你离去。时光穿梭在我指间，无悔地绽放开朵朵涟漪。钝厚的流质绵延永恒，而你我，被冲散在其中，相思无绝期。
Inexplicable always feel like the time within the next few precious memories will be stripped from me, more than once dreamed that his standing in a dark empty space, only one track at the foot stretch into thedistance, such as the long past your time and ultimately disappear In myfield of vision at the end.
总是会莫名地感到时间在抽丝剥茧般的将宝贵的回忆从我身上剥离，不止一次梦见自己站在一片空旷黑暗的空间里，脚下只有一条铁轨伸向远方，冗长如过往的光阴，最终消失在我的视野尽头。
I am afraid to lose, I fear this time, and I love it but memories. I could not forget the sweat on the pitch with the sway of the brothers, forget accompany me cry close friend, and forget the bright Star of that everynight, and those words have touched me deeply.
我害怕失去，我对时间如此的恐惧，而我却又那么的热爱回忆。我忘不了球场上一起挥洒汗水的兄弟，忘不了陪我一起哭泣的知己，忘不了那一夜夜璀璨的星空，和那些令我感动至今的话语。
Those people, those things, such as bursts of light rain in the lake left ring Watermark four dispersed to each other to melt each other's impact; if the horizon is still experiencing Qianwanyinian quiet shining star, notvery bright, but clearly made . - They do not know how much to spend withme during the day bright and silent night.
那些人，那些事，如细雨在湖面留下的阵阵环型水纹四散开来彼此消融，彼此撞击;如经历千万亿年仍在天边寂静闪光的星，不甚明亮，却又清晰无比。——它们陪我度过不知多少明媚的白天与沉默的夜。
In my memory, the third year is not gray, because I remember thoseblessings are not what love is bearing fruit, I still remember holding alot of my friends and I hope to see sunrise and sunset, finally it isyellow everywhere.
在我的记忆中，高三不是灰色的，因为我记得那些不被祝福的爱情是怎样的开花结果，还记得我与朋友抱着一大堆的希望看日出日落，最后却是黄花遍地。
Youth is the eye lotus spring, third year is that this eye expansion of bubbling spring season. I, however, a strong smell in the bubble years of the Problem taste. I do not exclude these, but too much pressure to do away much fun. Unfortunately, after the college entrance examination, even the pressure would become the memories, be my third year living memory of the dead evidence. In the time before we are so powerless, the only left on just the eye springs, and we have no regrets of the oath, I hope day after day, year after year, when I re-turn to this page , people still.
青春是眼忘忧泉，高三是这眼泉水膨胀冒泡的季节。而我却在泡泡里嗅到了浓厚的习题的味道。我并不是排斥这些，但过大的压力确实带走了不多的乐趣。只可惜，高考过后，连压力也会成为回忆，成为我缅怀逝去的高三生活的证据。在时间面前我们是如此的无力，唯一能留下的，就只是那眼泉水和我们曾经无悔的誓言，但愿日复一日，年复一年，当我重新翻到这一页时，人心依旧。
I have seen one another chilling words: Some people say that once you start like the memories of those people will get old. I only admit mature, do not believe they have been growing old. My friends are growing up day by day, and was young and the mature, how can I not had time to grow on the outline of the first to hoary?
曾经看过一句另我毛骨悚然的话：有人说，一旦开始喜欢回忆，那人便老去了。我只承认自己的成熟，不相信自己已经老去。我的朋友们正在一天天地长大，成熟并且风华正茂着，我怎么可以没来得及成长就率先苍老了轮廓?
"Heaven Rain in green and so on, and I am waiting for you, the moonlight was recovered, the faint opened the outcome." Jay melancholy voice has been completely different from the business for the time Sentimental, Bard will be the years the pace of a camel inscribed into the blue and white porcelain in that respect.
“天青色等烟雨，而我在等你，月色被打捞起，晕开了结局。”杰伦忧郁的嗓音已经完全不同与刚出道时的青涩，吟游诗人般地将岁月的脚步镌刻进那一尊青花瓷器。
Our future? Friends ah, I will time the other end, waiting for you.
我们的未来呢?朋友啊，我会在时间的另一头，等你。
美文赏析:The Importance of Being Silly 难得糊涂
糊涂被人认为没主见，不糊涂被人觉得难以相处——‘难得糊涂’在于糊涂的时机，什么时候糊涂取决于你不糊涂的程度。世界是多彩的，每个人都有属于自己的颜色。为什么一直都要标榜着最聪明的自己呢？人生难得糊涂哦~给心灵一个歇脚的理由吧!
The Importance of Being Silly 难得糊涂
We all, at one time or another, have pretended to be a rock star, singing and dancing along to our favorite song. Most of us have done this in the privacy of our own room when we were kids and as adults, in the privacy of our homes. Me? I love to do that when I drive! I turn on the radio, find a song that I can sing along too and pretty soon my arms are in the air and I am moving along to the rhythm. Most of the time, I do this on my way to work.
我们每个人，在不同时期，都曾经像一个摇滚歌星那样，伴着我们最爱的那首歌又唱又跳.很多人在小时候，甚至是已长大成人，都曾在我们自己房间和家里类似的隐秘空间里这样过。我呢？我喜欢在开车的时候这样！打开收音机，找一首会唱的歌，很快我就会张开双臂，随着节奏起舞。大部分时候，我在上班的路上这么做。
Yes, that is true. I will be in my nice work clothes, jamming while driving or stopped at a traffic light. I get weird looks from some people and others laugh. Personally, I love to get lost in the rhythm of a song which leads me to share with you the importance of being silly!
是的，那是真的。我会穿上我漂亮的工作服，在堵车和遇到交通灯时，有人就会用奇怪的眼神看着我，或者笑我。对我个人而言，我喜欢沉浸在一首歌的节奏中，由此我愿和你们分享：为人糊涂贵在何处。
The definition for the word silly, according to the dictionary is: stupid, foolish and nonsensical. I know many people do not want to look foolish. So they walk around all serious, which in all honesty, is foolish!
糊涂一词在字典中的定义是：愚蠢的，傻，荒谬的。我知道很多人都不想被人看作愚笨。所以他们在生活中始终一脸严肃，而这在本质上才是真正的愚笨。
No one is perfect, I repeat: no one is perfect. I don’t care how educated, how thin, how beautiful, how simple, how frugal, how rich, and so on… No one is perfect! So why pretend to be something you are not?
人无完人，我重申一次：没有人是完美的。我不在乎一个人学识多深，身材多好，外表多美，思想多浅薄，生活多俭朴，多富有，等等……人无完人！那么，为什么要伪装成我们实际上本不是的呢？
Life is so short… You never know when this beautiful journey will be over, so why waste a single second on being so full of rigidity? Here is a quote by Souza, that I think says it all and is a great recipe for life:
人生何其短暂……你不会知道这美好的征程何时会结束，那么，为什么要浪费一分一秒，让自己变得棱角分明？这里引用索萨的话，我觉得她一语中的，是人生的一大秘方：
“Dance as though no one is watching you, Love as though you have never been hurt before, Sing as though no one can hear you, Live as though heaven is on earth.”
跳舞吧，就像没有人欣赏一样，
去爱吧，就像没有受到伤害一样，
唱歌吧，就像没有人倾听一样，
生活吧，就像今天是最后一天一样。
When we were kids, we had no idea of what limitations were and we had no care in the world so we could do things without worrying about how we appeared to others. However, as we grew up, we lost that childlike innocence.
当我们还是孩子，我们天不怕，地不怕，无忧无虑，所以我们可以不在乎自己再别人眼中的形象去做事情。然而，当我们长大，我们失去了那种天真烂漫。
So don’t lose the child that still lives within you. The next time you feel down, go turn on your favorite song, and sing and dance along like there is no tomorrow. Or watch something that makes you laugh. Laughter is the best medicine to whatever ails you and nothing is better than laughing so hard that your tummy hurts. Trust me, you will feel a whole lot better, and who doesn’t want to feel good?
所以，不要丢失你心中那个小孩。下次你感到沮丧时，去打开你最爱的那首歌吧，随之歌唱起舞，就像没有明天一样。或者看点能让你笑的东西。笑声是除去任何烦恼良方，没有什么比笑到肚子疼更好的事了。相信我，你会好受很多，谁又不想让自己好受呢？
美文阅读:Salty Coffee 咸咖啡
默默付出是伟大的，为了自己的真爱，学着接受，学着改变 —— 爱需要无私的付出。
Salty Coffee 咸咖啡
He met her at a party. She was outstanding; many guys were after her, but nobody paid any attention to him. After the party, he invited her for coffee. She was surprised. So as not to appear rude, she went along.
他在一次晚会上遇见了她。她很迷人，有很多男孩子追求，但是却没有任何人注意到他。晚会结束后，他请她出去喝咖啡，这让她很吃惊。出于礼貌，她去了。
As they sat in a nice coffee shop, he was too nervous to say anything and she felt uncomfortable. Suddenly, he asked the waiter, "Could you please give me some salt? I'd like to put it in my coffee."
他们坐在一家幽雅的咖啡店里。他紧张得说不出话来，而她也感到很拘束。突然，他叫来服务生，说道：“给我在咖啡里加点盐，好吗?”
They stared at him. He turned red, but when the salt came, he put it in his coffee and drank. Curious, she asked, "Why salt with coffee?" He explained, "When I was a little boy, I lived near the sea. I liked playing on the sea ... I could feel its taste salty, like salty coffee. Now every time I drink it, I think of my childhood and my hometown. I miss it and my parents, who are still there."
她和服务生都看着他。他脸红了，盐端上来了，他往咖啡里放了一些，喝了起来。她好奇地问：“为什么在咖啡里放盐呢?”他解释说：“小时候，我住在海边，喜欢在那里玩耍……海水是咸的，就像这杯咸咖啡。每次喝咖啡时，我就想起了童年和家乡。我怀念这种味道，想念那里的父母亲。”
She was deeply touched. A man who can admit that he's homesick must love his home and care about his family. He must be responsible.
她被深深地感动了。一个有思乡情结的男人一定很爱家，很关心家人。他一定是值得信赖的。
She talked too, about her faraway hometown, her childhood, her family. That was the start to their love story.
于是，她也谈起了遥远的家乡，她的童年和家人。他们的爱情故事就这样拉开了帷幕。
They continued to date. She found that he met all her requirements. He was tolerant, kind, warm and careful. And to think she would have missed the catch if not for the salty coffee!
之后，他们常常约会。她发现他宽容、善良、热情而细心，这些正符合她的标准。她想，若不是那杯咸咖啡，她或许就错过了他。
So they married and lived happily together. And every time she made coffee for him, she put in some salt, the way he liked it.
最后，他们结婚了，幸福地生活在一起。每每给他冲咖啡时，她总会放些盐，因为他喜欢喝咸咖啡。
After 40 years, he passed away and left her a letter which said:
40年后，他去世了，留了一封信给她，信中的内容是这样的：
My dearest, please forgive my life-long lie. Remember the first time we dated? I was so nervous I asked for salt instead of sugar.
亲爱的，请原谅我——有一个谎言，我隐瞒了你整整一生。还记得我们的第一次约会吗?我很紧张，原想要糖，却说成了盐。
It was hard for me to ask for a change, so I just went ahead. I never thought that we would hit it off. Many times, I tried to tell you the truth, but I was afraid that it would ruin everything.
再改过来很难，我只好将错就错。我从未想过要喝咸咖啡。许多次，我都想告诉你真相，但又担心说出来一切会化为泡影。
Sweetheart, I don't exactly like salty coffee. But as it mattered so much to you, I've learnt to enjoy it. Having you with me was my greatest happiness. If I could live a second time, I hope we can be together again, even if it means that I have to drink salty coffee for the rest of my life.
亲爱的，我并不喜欢喝咸咖啡，但你很在乎这个，我已经学着接受它了。与你在一起是我一生最大的幸福。倘若我能重生，我希望还能和你在一起，即使这意味着余生都要喝咸咖啡，我也心甘情愿。

Don’t Work for Money 不做有才华的穷人
The world is filled with smart, talented, educated and gifted people. We meet them every day. A few days ago, my car was not running well. I pulled it into a garage, and the young mechanic had it fixed in just a few minutes. He knew what was wrong by simply listening to the engine. I was amazed. The sad truth is, great talent is not enough.
世界上满坑满谷都是精明能干、才华横溢、学富五车以及极具天赋之人，我们每天都会见到他们。几天前，我的汽车运转不灵了。我把它开进维修厂，一位年轻的机械工只消几分钟就把它修好了。他仅凭倾听发动机的声音就能确定哪儿有毛病，这让我惊奇不已。然而遗憾的是，光有非凡才华是不够的。
I am constantly shocked at how little talented people earn. I heard the other day that less than 5 percent of Americans earn more than $100,000 a year. A business consultant who specializes in1 the medical trade was telling me how many doctors, dentists and chiropractors struggle financially. All this time, I thought that when they graduated, the dollars would pour in. It was this business consultant who gave me the phrase, “They are one skill away from great wealth.” What this phrase means is that most people need only to learn and master one more skill and their income would jump exponentially. I have mentioned before that financial intelligence is a synergy of accounting, investing, marketing and law. Combine those four technical skills and making money with money is easier. When it comes to money, the only skill most people know is to work hard.
我常常吃惊，为什么有才华的人却只有微薄的收入。前几天我听人说，只有不到5%的美国人年收入在10万美元以上。一位精通药品贸易的商务顾问曾经告诉我，有有许多医生、牙医和按摩师生活拮据。以前我总以为他们一毕业，财源便会滚滚而来。这位商务顾问告诉了我一句话：“离发大财，他们还差一项技能。”这句话的意思是说，大部分人还需多学习并掌握一项技能，他们的收入才能呈指数倍增长。以前我提到过，财商是会计、投资、市场营销和法律方面的能力综合。将上述四种专业技能结合起来，以钱生钱就会更容易。说到钱，大部分人所知的唯一技能就是拼命工作。
When I graduated from the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy in 1969, my educated dad was happy. Standard Oil of California had hired me for its oil-tanker fleet. I had a great career ahead of me, yet I resigned after six months with the company and joined the Marine Corps to learn how to fly. My educated dad was devastated. Rich dad congratulated me.
1969年，我从美国海运学院毕业了。我那有学识的爸爸十分高兴，因为加州标准石油公司录用我为它的油轮队工作。尽管我的未来前程远大，但我还是在6个月后辞职离开了这家公司，加入海军陆战队去学习飞行。对此我那有学识的爸爸非常伤心，而富爸爸则祝贺我做出的`决定。
Job security meant everything to my educated dad. Learning meant everything to my rich dad. Educated dad thought I went to school to learn to be a ship’s officer. Rich dad knew that I went to school to study international trade. So as a student, I made cargo runs, navigating 6 large freighters, oil tankers and passenger ships to the Far East and the South Pacific. While most of my classmates, including Mike, were partying at their fraternity houses, I was studying trade, people and cultures in Japan, Thailand, Singapore, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Korea and the Philippines. I also was partying, but it was not in any frat house. I grew up rapidly.
对于有学识的爸爸来说，稳定的工作就是一切。而对于富爸爸来说，学习才是一切。有学识的爸爸以为我上学是为了做一名船长，而富爸爸明白我上学是为了学习国际贸易。因此，在做学生时，我跑过货运、为前往远东及南太平洋的大型货轮、油轮和客轮导航。当我的大部分同班同学，包括迈克，在他们的联谊会会堂举办晚会的时候，我正在日本、泰国、新加坡、中国香港、越南、韩国和菲律宾学习贸易、人际关系和文化。我也参加晚会，但不去任何联谊会，我迅速地成熟起来了。
There is an old cliché that goes, “Job is an acronym9 for ‘Just Over Broke.’” And unfortunately, I would say that the saying applies to millions of people. Because school does not think financial intelligence is intelligence, most workers “live within their means.” They work and they pay the bills. Instead I recommend to young people to seek work for what they will learn, more than what they will earn. Look down the road at what skills they want to acquire before choosing a specific profession and before getting trapped in the “Rat Race”. Once people are trapped in the lifelong process of bill paying, they become like those little hamsters running around in those little metal wheels. Their little furry legs are spinning furiously, the wheel is turning furiously, but come tomorrow morning, they’ll still be in the same cage: great job.
常言道，“工作(job)就是‘比破产强一点(Just Over Broke)’的缩写”。然而不幸的是，这句话确实适用于千百万人，因为学校没有把财商看作是一种才智，大部分工人都“量入为出”：干活挣钱，支付账单。相反，我劝告年轻人在寻找工作时要看看能从中学到什么，而不是只看能挣到多少。在选择某种特定职业之前或是陷入 “老鼠赛跑(激烈的竞争)”之前，要好好掂量自己到底需要获得什么技能。一旦人们为支付账单而整天疲于奔命，就和那些在小铁轮里不停奔跑转圈的小老鼠一样了。老鼠的小毛腿跑得飞快，小铁轮也转得飞快，可到了第二天早上，他们发现自己依然困在同一个老鼠笼里，那就是：重要的工作。
When I ask the classes I teach, “How many of you can cook a better hamburger than McDonald’s?” almost all the students raise their hands. I then ask, “So if most of you can cook a better hamburger, how come McDonald’s makes more money than you?” The answer is obvious: McDonald’s is excellent at business systems. The reason so many talented people are poor is because they focus on building a better hamburger and know little or nothing about business systems. The world is filled with talented poor people. All too often, they’re poor or struggle financially or earn less than they are capable of, not because of what they know but because of what they do not know. They focus on perfecting their skills at building a better hamburger rather than the skills of selling and delivering the hamburger.
当我在自己教授的班级上问到“你们当中有多少人做的汉堡包能比麦当劳更好”时，几乎所有的学生都举起了手。我接着问，“如果你们当中大部分人都能做出比麦当劳更好的汉堡包，那为什么麦当劳比你们更能赚钱?”答案是显而易见的：麦当劳拥有一套出色的运营体系。许多才华横溢的人之所以贫穷的原因，就是因为他们只是专心于做更好的汉堡包，而对运营体系几乎一无所知。世界上到处都是有才华的穷人。在很多情况下，他们之所以贫穷、生活拮据或者收入与其能力不相符，不是因为他们已知的东西而是因为他们未知的东西。他们只将注意力集中在提高和完善做汉堡包的技术上，却不注意提高有关汉堡包的销售和送货技能。

The social sciences are flourishing. As of 20xx, there were almost half a million professional social scientists from all fields in the world, working both inside and outside academia. According to the World Social Science Report 20xx, the number of social-science students worldwide has swollen by about 11% every year since 20xx. Yet this enormous resource in not contributing enough to today s global challenges including climate change, security, sustainable development and health.
(1)_________ Humanity has the necessary aggro-technological tools to eradicate hunger, from genetically engineered crops to artificial fertilizers. Here, too, the problems are social: the organization and distribution of food, wealth and prosperity.
(2) _________This is a shame--the community should be grasping the opportunity to raise its influence in the real world. To paraphrase the great social scientist Joseph Schumpeter: there is no radical innovation without creative destruction.
Today, the social sciences are largely focused on disciplinary problems and internal scholarly debates, rather than on topics with external impact.
Analyses reveal that the number of papers including the keywords "environmental changed" or "climate change" have increased rapidly since 20xx, (3)_________
When social scientists do tackle practical issues, their scope is often local: Belgium is interested mainly in the effects of poverty on Belgium for example. And whether the community s work contribute much to an overall accumulation of knowledge is doubtful.
The problem is not necessarily the amount of available funding. (4)_________ This is an adequate amount so long as it is aimed in the right direction. Social scientists who complain about a lack of funding should not expect more in today s economic climate.
The trick is to direct these funds better. The European Union Framework funding programs have long had a category specifically targe

一、题型要求
补全短文的设计思路是，给出一篇300-450词的短文，其中有5处空白，文章后面有6段文字，要求应试者根据文章的内容选择5段文字，将其放回文章原有位置，以恢复文章原貌。这种题型重在考查应试者把握文章结构、掌握作者思路的能力。这是一种较高层次的阅读理解能力，要求考生能够从宏观的角度把握文章的内容和结构，要想做好这类题，必须从语篇的角度，搞清楚文章的脉络，吃透文章的意思。
二、解题技巧
补全短文是职称英语六大题型中最难的一种题型，在做这种题型时要先预测选项，注意抓选项主干，猜测选项的大致意思，同时要注意连词，代词，名词，形容词，副词等的出现。之后回到原文中看看空白处所在的位置，如果是在段首句，也许意味着是中心主题句，如果是在段尾句，也许意味着是中心主题句或是细节论述，如果是在段中，也许意味着是细节论述。最后根据空白处的前后句的意思，按先易后难的顺序将原文恢复原貌。做完之后在把文章看一遍，检查一下所填的顺序是否符合文章二下文的要求。
这类题要求根据给定短文(原文)的意思，在6个选项句子(陈述句)中分别选出5个符合语法知识、逻辑结构和前后内容意思衔接的选项，补充到原文划线的填充处，使原文成为一篇意思完整、前后连贯的短文，所以这类题实际上是段落填充题。这类题本意是要考查较高的阅读能力、基础知识(语法、词汇等)和综合逻辑思维推理能力，其难度较大，是最令人头痛的题型，并且其每题占的分值高(2分，只比阅读理解少1分)，加上各选项环环相扣，选错了一个至少错两个甚至更多，所以填错一个选项，就意味着至少没有了4分，这比所有类型的题的含金量都要高，不过，它也是把双刃剑，容易丢分的题，也是最容易得分题，每选对一个，也一样意味着其它选项选择的成功率大大提高，何况只有1个干扰项，排除起来更容易。所以，对这类题要有信心、决心和细心，如果做得好，它比“阅读理解”更容易拿分。
1、做题总思路：
从分析题型知道，这类题其实是前两类考题(“阅读判断”和“概括大意与完成句子”)的综合，说白一点，它只不过是要找出各选项在原文的出处而已，并且这个出处已经确定了5个填充处给予选择，从这点上说，比前两类题更简单。所以，做前两类题的步骤和技巧，特别是思路和逻辑推理方法，在这类题中运用更合适、更能体现和更能发挥得淋漓尽致。
针对这类题的要求和特点：是要在6个选项句子(陈述句)中分别选出5个符合语法知识、逻辑结构和前后内容意思衔接的选项，补充到原文划线的填充处(是在某段落之前、之后或两句子之中)，使原文成为一篇意思完整、前后连贯的短文;根据其要求与特点，有的放矢，我们再次运用综合分析排除法来选出正确的答案：一是不“符合语法知识”的排除，二是不“符合逻辑结构”的排除，三是不能使填充处“前后内容衔接、意思连贯”的排除。
要正确运用这些方法，当然能通读并读懂原文最好，但很难做到并且没有必要这样做，我们的思路总是要化复杂为简单、化难为易、化大为小来做题，所以，我们要把短文化为句子、句子化为单词来做，这样就简单得多了。因此，做这类题的重点，一是选项句子，而选项句子重点是它的中心词，包括：名词、代词和连接词，这三种词是我们必须重视的，也是我们了解该选项句子意思，运用上述三种方法的前提，二是填充处的前后段或前后句子，弄清楚这个填充处所在位置的意义以及其前后段或前后句子的逻辑关系和内容意思，也是运用上述方法的.前提。
2、做题步骤：(根据总思路和参照前两类考题，分四步走)
(1)第一步：找出各选项句子中心词：名词、代词和连接词，了解这句子的大概意思(要该选项中划出其中心词并简要写也其大意)。对于中心词的查找方法，除了直接查字典外，请参看前两类考题所述技巧，在此不再赘述。建议：如果有点英语基础，在做这一步之前最好快速游览一个全文，了解全文大概是讲什么的。然后，根据各选项句子的大概意思，初步设想一下它们最有可能的位置和彼此顺序(当然，这也可以不做);
(2)第二步：按顺序了解某一个填充处前后段或前后句子的逻辑关系和大概内容意思。这也是类似找中心句子与中心词的方法，找出前后段最接近填充处的句子的中心词(名词、代词和连接词)，或者找出填充处前后句子的中心词，了解其大概意思和相互间的逻辑关系;
(3)第三步：把选项句子中心词及其大意与填充处前后段或前后句子的逻辑关系及大意进行对照，运用下述的做题技巧，综合分析排除，确定最有可能的选项或直接确定答案;并把确定了的答案把它划去和把最有可能的选项(A、B、C…)写到填充处，无论能否确定答案，都要接着往下做下一个填空处，以如类推。因为这类题是6选5，基本上是一个萝卜一个筐，每个选项最多只能用一次，并且基本上都必须用上，所以，不能确定最后唯一答案时，基本上可以通过做其它的填充处，甚至到最后把所有的填充处综合起来推敲，也可以确定各填充处的答案，因此，不要急于求成，困死在某一个填充处上;
(4)第四步：利用综合分析排除法，最后理顺并最终确定各选项的所有位置。确定了所有答案后，划去干扰项，把各选项对号入座，进行检查和印证。进一步理顺它们的一对一对应关系。如果存在较大的疑虑或者总是觉得不是很顺而是觉得很勉强很别扭，你就要好好重做一遍了，这种情况下一定是乱点鸳鸯谱，搞错了选项。

自制Self-Control
Self-control is essential to happiness and success.
自制对幸福与成功来说是不可缺少的。
It is the master of all the virtues1, and has its root in self-respect. Let a man yield to his impulses and passions, and from that moment he gives up his moral freedom.
它主宰着一切美德,并植根于自尊之中。假若一个人屈服于冲动或是感情用事,那么,从那一刻起他便放弃了道德自由。
It is the self-discipline of a man that enables him to go after success. Many of the great characters in history have shown this valuable quality. In ordinary life the application is the same. He who would lead must first command himself. The time of test is when everybody is excited or angry, duanwenw.com and then the well-balanced mind comes to the front.
自律促使人们去追求成功。历史上的许多伟人都表现出了这种可贵品质。自律同样适用于日常生活。一个人要想成为领导,他首先必须能掌控自我。当一个人激动或是生气的时候,考验的时刻便到了,这时首先应想到保持心气平和。
There is a very special demand for the cultivation of this quality at the present time. Young men who rush into business without education or training will do poor work. Endurance is a much better test of character than the act of heroism.
当前,这种特质的培养显得尤为必要。没有受过良好教育或训练的年轻人匆匆步入商界将会一事无成。忍耐比逞英雄更能考验一个人的.品质。
A fair amount of self-examination is good. Self-knowledge is the key to self-control. Too much self-examination leads to morbidness; too little can lead to careless action. There are two things that will surely strengthen our self-control. One is attention to conscience5; the other is a spirit of good will. duanwenw.com The man who would succeed in any great undertaking must hold all his capabilities under perfect control; he must be disciplined to achieve greatness.
适度的自我检讨是可取的。自知之明对自制而言极为关键。过度的自我检讨会导致病态;而检讨不足则会导致行事草率。不过,有两样东西肯定能增强我们的自制力。其一是注重良知,其二是心怀善意。一个人如果要想取得重大成功,他就必须妥善掌控自己的种植拍,他必须靠不断约束自我来走向成功。
