To us young people, challenge often emerges in the form of competition.In the next century, competition will not only come from other college graduates, but also from people of all ages, of all origins.With increasing international exchanges ,we have to face growing competition from the whole outside world.This is calling for a higher level of our personal development.(全国英语演讲比赛第一届冠军, 刘欣, 南京大学, 1996年, 节选)

What happened to this beautiful valley in Australia should also happen to our Yellow River and, in fact, it is happening.I have seen farmers planting trees on mountains along the Yellow River.I have seen them climb the mountain tops with seeding on their shoulders because they had no machinery.I have seen them pour on trees the water they carried up in buckets from miles down the valley.These farmer are quietly nourishing our Yellow River, just as the river has nourished them.(全国英语演讲比赛第四届冠军, 蔡力, 南京大学, 1999年, 节选)

If a person inherits his father‟s millions of dollars and leads an easy life , he is not a successful person even in material terms, because there are no difficulties involved in his achieving affluence.The term „success‟, to be sure , will not sit still for easy definition.But as I understand it , the true meaning of success entails a combination of both the process and the satisfactory result of an endeavor.(全国英语演讲比赛第五届冠军, 陈恒, 上海外国语大学, 2000年,节选)

The first and foremost thing is to let people fall in love with the city at first sight, attracting them by its unique image.What image does Beijing intend to create for itself once it has the opportunity to host the 2008 Olympics ?It is known to all that the Beijing Municipal Government has already set the theme for the future games: New Beijing ,Great Olympics.For me , the 2008 Olympics will be a great green Olympics illuminated with two more special colors ,yellow and red.(全国英语演讲比赛第六届冠军, 戚悦, 上海外国语大学, 2001年,节选)

The other night, as I saw the moon linger over the land and before it was sent into the invisible, my mind was filled with songs.I found myself humming softly, not to the music, but to something else, someplace else, a place remembered, a place untouched, a field of grass where no one seemed to have been except the deer.And all those unforgettable scenes strengthened the feeling that it‟s time for us to do something, for our own and our coming generation.(全国英语演讲比赛第八届冠军, 顾秋蓓, 上海外国语大学, 2003年,节选)

Look at us today!So many doors are open to us!I believe there have never been such abundant opportunities for self-development as we have today.The doors open to us also pose challenges.Each door is a test of our courage, ability and judgment, but with the support of my teachers, parents and friends, I believe I can meet the challenge head on.(全国英语演讲比赛第九届冠军, 洪晔, 南京大学, 2004年,节选)

(10)The force of habits

Habits, whether good or bad, are gradually formed.The more we do things, the more we tend to like doing it;and if we do not continue to do it, we feel uncomfortable.This is called the force of habits, and the force of habits should be fought against.This applies even to such good things as work or rest.Some people form a bad habit of working too much, and others of idling too much.Bad habits, once formed, are difficult to get rid of.The wise man always remembers to check any bad habit.He warns himself “I am now becoming idle” or “I like too many sweets” or “I smoke too much”.And then adds, “I will get myself out of this bad habit at once.”

(11)The way to achieve success

Many people say that they owe much of it to the cultivation of certain good habits in early life.In forming good habits, I think we should pay attention to four things, that is honesty, industry, enthusiasm and thrift.“Honesty is the best policy.” This is a proverb to which we must pay attention.There are so many temptations in society that through a little carelessness we may go astray.But when we are honesty, people will not be dishonest to us.Industry gives every man and woman, every boy and girl, proper work to do.To do nothing is going to ruin oneself.Enthusiasm is a great force.One‟s soul will expand if one devotes oneself to a noble cause.The difficulties in our way are tremendous, but what can we not accomplish, if with enthusiasm?

There are many proverbs which set forth the advantages of thrift.Since we live in the world in which money is a very powerful thing, we should always try to save a portion of our earnings for future use.These are the four things to which we must pay attention.It is only by this way that we can achieve success.(12)Language skills

Language skills will develop with use of various dictionaries.The more you use them, the more familiar you will become with them.Sooner or later, you will be quite skilled in finding the page, scanning the entries and locating the exact meaning of the new words.But you should have one ting in mind.As a language student, you can never become too much attached to dictionaries;basic language skills do not come from dictionaries, but from your practice.Expose yourself to the language by listening, speaking, reading and writing more, and that is the only way to the mastery of a language.(13)TV—a Blessing or curse?

As TV enters into more and more families, people begin to wonder about its advantages and disadvantages.Some believes it is a blessing while others hold that it is a curse to society.TV, as a mass media, can bring to people new information on economies , culture, arts, and many other fields.People can enjoy their favorite programs at home.In some countries, some TV stations provide such programs as looking for dangerous criminals and lost children, helping to find an ideal lover, and others which are quite beneficial to society, some TV stations provide various useful seminars for people of variousages and social status.But on the other hand, TV may exert bad influence on people.Some programs are full of violence.As a result, people , especially juveniles, are led to commit crimes.An increasing number of people are so indulged in TV programs that some even neglect their duties.In my opinion, the attitude toward TV all depends on oneself.People should choose those programs which are useful and can bring to them the sense of beauty.(14)On Test and Test Taking

The purpose of a test is to check how much we students have learned about a subject.It not only helps make our newly acquired knowledge permanent, but also enables us to find out what needs to spend more time improving.But some students do not deal with test correctly.Some of them are afraid of failing in a test.They cheat even at the risk of being caught on exams.Though cheating might give one “better grades”, it adds nothing to one‟s knowledge.This dishonest behavior will do one more harm than good.I think that we go to college in order to have our further studies, and prepare us to be qualified for the future job.Therefore, we should take a correct attitude towards test.As long as we study diligently and review our lessons regularly, we are sure to be used to serve its real purpose.(15)The Dictionary

The dictionary is a living teacher.Whenever you come across a new word, just consult it and you will get a clear definition.Every student, whether attending school or self-taught, should always have a dictionary at hand.As a study aid, it is convenient, inexpensive and almost omniscient(all-knowing).

决心即力量

信念即成功

现在就付诸行动

我是雄狮，我是苍鹰，饥即食，渴即饮。我渴望成功、快乐、心灵的平静。我发布命令。

我要服从自己的命令。我现在就付诸行动。成功不是等待，如果我迟疑，她会投入别人的怀抱，永远弃我而去。此时、此地、此人，我现在就付诸行动。重视自己的价值

今天我要加倍重视自己的价值。我不能放低目标。

我要做失败者不屑一顾的事。我不停留在力所能及的事上。我不满足于现有的成就。

目标达成后再定一个更高的目标。我要努力使下一刻比此刻更好。我要常常向世人宣告我的目标，但是，我绝不炫耀我的成绩。让世人来赞美我吧，但愿，我能明智而谦恭地接受他们。怀揣着希望上路

希望是永远不止息的追求，蕴藏着无穷的美丽与光明，如同雨后晴空的彩虹。怀揣着希望上路，能激发生命的潜能和创造力！

人的一生，不知道要遇到多少艰辛与坎坷，还有各种厄运和不幸，就因为有那火焰般燃烧在内心的希望，才使得我们不甘心被眼前的困难所吞噬，不甘心让暂时的挫折束缚了前行的脚步，从而焕发出生机与活力，锲而不舍地寻觅和追求。

一位哲人说，保持希望的人生才是有力的。

是的，将希望根植在不惧怕失望的渴求中，即使你的人生之路千回百转，你也不会放弃追求的脚步；即使你历经失败，你也会重新调整人生的坐标，再次上路。财富宣言

我具有创造自我的特殊力量，这种力量使我能随心所欲地创造 我完全开放地接受世界赋予我的充足的财富。所有我需要和期望的。

我被指引着，保护着，我选择对我最好的。我为他人的成功而高兴，我知道有足够的财富和成功分给我们每一个人。我经常丰富我的思想，这使我的财富也随之增加，我的财富可能来自任何渠道。我的世界里一切都好。成功宣言

如果你的心中想道失败，你就失败了！如果你没有必胜的决心，绝无任何成就！纵使你想要得到胜利，只要浮现失败的字眼，胜利就不会像你微笑！

如果你不认真行事，你就失败了！我们在改造大自然中发现： 成功起源于人类的意志力，一切皆由人类的精神状态而决定。如果你想道落后，你就落后了！如果你想要达到你的目标，在生理到手之前，必定要拥有“我一定要得到”的信念。人生的战果，并非强势和快速就能得到，所有最后获得胜利的人，都是坚信“我一定做得到”的人。自控宣言

沮丧时，我引吭高歌。悲伤时，我开会大笑。病痛时，我加倍工作。恐惧时，我勇往直前。自卑时，我换上新装。不安时，我提高嗓音。

力不从心时，我回想过去的成功。自轻自贱时，我想想自己的目标。我要学会控制自己的情绪。努力宣言

我不想听失意者的哭泣，抱怨者得牢骚，这是羊群中的瘟疫，我不能被他传染。我要尽量避免绝望，辛勤耕耘、忍受苦楚。

我一试再试，争取每天的成功，避免以失败收场。在别人停滞不前时，我继续拼搏，奋勇向前。坚持不懈，直到成功。笑的力量

我要笑遍世界。

我用笑声点缀今天，让歌声照亮黑夜，以笑容感染别人。只要我能笑，就永远不会贫穷。微笑可以换来财富，善言可以筑起一座城堡。我要使生活保持平衡。

高度的力量

环境不能造就我，我之所以成为自己是我选择的结果。即使我手无束鸡之力，让他人控制了我的环境，但他人不能控制我的态度。我的态度决定我的选择，我的选择创造我的生活，并塑造出我是谁喝能成为一个怎样的人。态度，是决定我们命运的养母。相信力量

我相信我的学校，我相信我的班级，我相信我的老师和同学，我相信我自己

我相信我的聪明与勤奋，一定会取得学业上的成功。我相信真理就是价值，我相信愉快的心情，也相信健康，我相信成功的关键在于创造价值，我相信勤奋的双手、思考的大脑和爱的心灵。永不服输

没有失败就没有成功，如果，害怕失败带来的打击，不去尝试，我就永远和成功绝缘。强者主要的性格就是永不服输，不论事情看来多么艰难，只要啃啃切切、踏踏实实地努力去做，终究会给我带来丰厚的回报。

立定我的志向，决不把意识的挫折当成一回事，它们是成功大道上应有的点缀。没有经过失败的一时成功，绝不是成功。坚定一生中十一个成功信念 信念一：过去不等于未来。

第三篇：高中英语背诵美文

高中英语背诵美文 Time Is Money

“Time is money.” This saying means that time is very valuable.But time is more valuable than money.The money we have lost can be gained again, but the time we have wasted cannot be regained.Moreover, sometimes persons can exist without money, but nothing can be done without time, just as no one can live without air.Despite being so valuable, time is often neglected by men.Since time is an invisible thing, men often waste their time unconsciously（无意地）.Without anything to do, they may gossip from morning till night.Man can live only at most to about 100 years.It seems fairly long, but in fact it is rather short.We often say “How quickly time flies!” How many things can a man accomplish in such a short period? Hence we should use the valuable time properly to do our work.We will race with it.We will study and work hard.Never waste a little bit of it.Try to Be a Good Student

Perhaps it is the dream of everyone to be a good student at school, but quite a few students feel at a loss on how to make it.In my opinion it is rather easy if you can act on the following points.First of all, make full use of your time and work hard.Don‟t put off till tomorrow what should be done today, as time past will never come back.The fast developing society requires adequate knowledge, which presses us to spare no efforts to study.Of course, your hard work will be rewarded one day.Secondly, use your own head and present your point of view.Credulous（轻信的）attitude will only make you take anything for granted.With your own judgment you will be able to tell right from wrong and set up your own theory.Thirdly, set aside enough time for relaxation, entertainment, etc.don‟t ignore the harm of all work and no play.Proper sports will build up your body and improve the efficiency of your studying.To be a good student is easier said than done, for it needs a student‟s consistent efforts.But nothing is difficult to a man if he puts his heart into it.Natural Resources

Nature has provided us with many kinds of resources.Almost everything we use in our everyday life comes from Nature.The food we eat, the water we drink, the clothes we wear, the concrete and bricks to build our houses, the materials to make bikes we ride, etc.all come originally from Nature.1

People have been making use of these natural supplies for thousands of years.With the development of technology and the increase of the population, the amount and range of materials taken has increased.It is estimated that this tread will continue in the years to come.However, natural resources are not in exhaustible.Some resources are already nearly used up.For example, the end of the world‟s fuel is already within sight.Such an essential daily item as water is in short supply in many parts of the world.We can no longer thoughtlessly use the many resources provided by Nature.We must learn to conserve what remains.We Have Only One World

When industries grow, pollution also grows.Today the problem of environment has become more and more important.The world population is rising so quickly that the world has become too crowded.We are using up our natural resources too quickly and at the same time we are polluting our environment with dangerous chemicals.If we don‟t take action immediately, then we will destroy our only world.Man has made great progress in environment protection.Government of many countries has established laws to protect the forest and sea resource and to stop the environmental pollution.Still more measures should be taken to solve the problem.First, we should start by educating the public about the hazards of pollution.The government on its part should also design stricter laws.This is not only for our own generation but also for the future generation to come.It is necessary to protect our nature environment.We must begin now to protect our only world.Make The Best Use of Our Land

It is the land that has been providing us with everything we need for centuries.In other words, almost everything we use daily comes from the land directly or indirectly.The food, clothes, houses, even the books and furniture are all supplied by the land.But the limited land is decreasing at a surprising speed.With the expanding of the cities, the development of the industry and over population, lots of large pieces of good farmland are being turned into residential areas with many houses and apartment buildings, or industrial areas, or warehouses.Therefore some measures must be taken to stop the abusing of our farmland.On the other hand, we should let everyone realize the danger of being short of land.And also we should educate them how to make better use of our land.Health

It is said that we do not properly value a thing until we have lost it.It is only when a friend dies that we find out how much he was to us.So it is with health.When we are young and strong and have good health, we think little about it.It seems natural to us to be always well, and we cannot imagine what it is like to be ill.We are often careless about our health, and without

thinking we spoil our health by bad habits and doing silly things.It is only when we have our good health that we find that it was one of God‟s best gifts to us.Health is our most important possession.We should do our best to maintain it.Good health is necessary to happiness and success.People who are in poor health are often pessimistic or depressed.As a rule, bad health means misery and failure.How can we keep our health? Only by knowing and carefully obeying the laws of health.A happy man is a healthy man, and only the healthy man can live a happy life.The desire for good health is universal.Everyone who loves life understands how important health is.First, good health is the guarantee for enjoying life.The only desire of a patient is always to live an ordinary and healthy life.Second, good health establishes a firm foundation for your ambition of the career.Without it, any lofty aspiration turns to be a daydream.Then how to keep fit? Everyone has his own answers to this question, while I think three principal suggestions should be followed.The first one is that a scientific diet should be adopted, which offers the necessities for your body.The second one is that physical exercises must be persisted, especially for the indoor people.The last, but not the least, is that the cheerful mood should be kept.In order to keep fit, I force myself to keep away from the “junk food”, although it usually tastes good, I even form a good habit of doing morning exercises.And the beautiful music and good books always cheer me up.Sports and Games

Sports and games do a lot of good to our health.They can make us strong, prevent us from getting too fat, and keep healthy and fit.Especially they can be of great value to people who work with their brains most of the day, for sports and games give people valuable practice in exercising the body.What‟s more, they make our life richer and more colourful.If we do not have a strong body, we will find it hard to do whatever we want.So persons of all ages enjoy watching and taking part in various kinds of sports-track and fields, swimming, skating, football, volleyball and basketball, etc.Sports and games are also very useful in character training.They demand not only physical skills and strength but also courage, endurance, discipline and usually teamwork.For boys and girls, what is learned in the playground often has a deep effect on their character.If each of them learns to work for his team and not for himself on the football field, he will later find it natural to work for the good of his country instead of only for his own benefit.A healthy citizen makes a strong country.Let‟s all take part in sports and games.Smoking

It is well known that smoking does harm to the health.Today, so many people still keep smoking, which has drawn wide attention of the society.Smoking has so many disadvantages but no advantages at all.First, the cigarettes with nicotine in them do great harm to the health.Such diseases as pneumonia, lung cancer may be caused or partly caused by them.Furthermore, the bad effects of cigarettes cost the smokers lots of money, which could be spent on other meaningful things.Thirdly, the accidents of fire all over the world every year are mostly caused by the still-burning butts(end).The government has formulated the regulation of no smoking in public places.Yet its result is not so satisfactory.From my point of view, it needs the common efforts of the society.Not only the nonsmokers but the smokers should cooperate on this matter.Live in the City or in the Country

Where do you like to live, in the city or in the country? Most cities are centers of economy, trade, transportation or culture.With the development of economy and society, more and more people have flooded into the cities, which makes the scale of the cities larger and larger.Surely, it is very convenient for shopping, education, business and so on.But it also has many disadvantages: the large population makes it crowded in each corner of the city;the big factories, too many cars, buses and trucks pollute the clean air;too much noise can make people mad.To live in the city, one even can‟t get enough room for living.To live in the country is another thing.You can breathe the fresh air cheerfully, own a spacious house with a big backyard, and relax yourself in quietness.But when you want to go shopping, or take your child to school, perhaps you will complain about its inconvenient transportation, its remoteness…I am an ordinary person.I am always longing for the peaceful idyllic（田园诗般的）life of the countryside.Is Failure a Bad Thing?

Failure is a common occurrence(happening)in our daily life.Whatever we do, there are always two possible results: success or failure.Although everyone wants to succeed in what he tries, sometimes failure can‟t be avoided.Different people hold different attitudes towards failure.When faced with it, some can stand up to it, draw a useful lesson from it and try their best to fulfill what they are determined to do.Others, however, lose heart and give in.They do nothing but complain about themselves and objective conditions.As a popular saying goes, “Failure teaches success.” In my opinion, what really counts is not the failure itself, but the proper attitude we should take after it.I trust that as long as we keep to what is right and correct what is wrong, that is to say, learn a lesson from failure, we will be certain to succeed.So I am of the opinion that failure is not a bad thing.My Mother's Birthday

The sixth of August was my mother's birthday.My father and I wanted to give her surprising birthday presents.On their mothers' birthday，I know some of my classmates are going to help their mothers with housework；others are going to the shop and buy some flowers for their mothers.In the morning，my father and I went shopping and bought a very nice cake.Then we went to the market and bought some food.When we got home，my father cooked some nice food in the kitchen.I went to my room to make a birthday card.I wanted to say to my mother that I loved her very much.Then I wrote in the card，“I love you，my dear mother！”I put it on her pillow，then we cleaned the room.We felt very tired，but we were very happy.My mother got home.We said，“Happy Birthday！”My mother smiled.We had our supper together.My mother said，“Thank you，my daughter！”

How happy we were！

The Value Of Time

I always think there is not enough time.For example，I have just taken a three-day holiday.But when I look back，I just feel that it„s only one day.There goes a proverb，“Time is money”。Now I want to say，time is more precious than money，because when money is spent，we can earn some more again.However，when time is gone or lost，never will it return.Time goes without being noticed.The time for our study and work is usually limited.So I think we must make full use of our time.But it„s a pity that I am always not aware of the importance of time until it‟s too late.So I think，I should get into the good habit of saving time because wasting time is equal to wasting one„s life.Do not put off what can be done today till tomorrow！

Environment

Environmental problems are as big as not for individual country or individual people to address.In other word，we have reached the stage that environmental problems be solved for international view.To what extent do you agree or disagree？

In recent years，many nations have become more aware of the environmental issues each nation faces，such as air and water pollution.The question is，are the environmental issues a national problem or an international problem？It is my belief that the environmental issues have grown to the point of becoming an international problem needing international cooperation to resolve.Because of the differences in environmental policies，resources and technology，international cooperation could provide quicker results and have a greater impact on bringing resolution to environmental problems for nations of differing environmental policies and of lesser resources and technology.By pooling international resources and technology to address the environmental problems，the disadvantaged nations are provided the assistance needed.Otherwise their environmental conditions deteriorate ultimately affecting the resources and environment of the world as a whole.Self introduction

Teachers，good afternoon.Allow me to briefly talk about myself.My name is-Xianning graduated from the south gate of the private secondary schools.Tourism now studying at the school in Hubei Province.Studying hotel management professional.I was a character，cheerful girl，so my hobbies is extensive.Sporty.In my spare time likes playing basketball，table tennis，volleyball，skating.When a person like the Internet at home，or a personal stereo.Not like too long immersed in the world of books，and family members have told me，Laoyijiege is the best.Talking about my family，then I will talk about my family has.Only three people my family，my grandmother，grandfather and my own.My grandfather is a engineer，I am very severely on peacetime，the Church me a lot.Grandma is a very kindly for the elderly，care for my life in every possible way.Therefore，I have no parents in their care，childhood and growth were full of joy.I like this hotel management professional，because I like to live in a strict order of the management environment.I have my professional self-confidence and hope，as long as the efforts will be fruitful，this is my motto.Since I chose this profession，I will follow this path，effort，perseverance path.Thank you teachers.I finished presentation.We have only one earth Dear human being，Have you ever seen such a notice “A black smelly earth with lots of dirty things on it is crying and struggling.”？ How terrible it is！Long，long ago，the earth was healthy and beautiful，and it was covered with heavy forest and all kinds of plants.The water in the rivers and lakes and seas was clean and harmless.There were not so many disasters of nature.People lived in harmony with nature，Why has everything changed？ Because we human being do a lot of bad things to her.First，We cut down the forests，destroy the grasses，and the water washes away a lot of soil down the rivers into the lakes and seas，making a lot of places flooded and many people killed and making her surface ugly.Secondly，we use lots of chemical powder in the wars，we burn plenty of coals，gas in the factories and cars，making much SO2 and CO2 with the heavy smoke spread in the air，so a lot of people suffer from this terrible air pollution，especially in winter.As a result of this，the temperature of the earth is getting higher and higher.It is dangerous for human being，animals and plants to exist.Thirdly，we pour a lot of waste and poisonous water into the rivers，lakes and seas.Making all kinds of fishes，plants and birds die

Now，if we go on doing bad things to the earth，the earth will die.If the earth died，where would we human being go？ The earth is our common living place.So it is everyone‟s duty to protect our home —— the earth.Do remember： We have only one earth！

My Home Village

My home village is a small one.It‟s in Yuxian county of Shanxi Province.Small as it is，it‟s very beautiful.There are many hills around my home village and they are more beautiful than some big mountains.In spring，we can fly kites which are made by ourselves on the top of the hills.The kites fly very high.In summer，the trees are green and the grass is green，too.It is green

The Mid-Autumn Festival

The Mid-Autumn is a very important Chinese festival.It falls on the 15th day of August.A few days before the festival，everyone in the family will help to make the house clean and beautiful.Lanterns will be hung in front of the house.On the evening there will be a big family dinner.People who work far away from their homes will try to come back for the union.After dinner，people will light the lanterns which are usually red and round.Children will play with their own toy lanterns happily.At night the moon is usually round and bright.People can enjoy the moon while eating moon-cakes which are the special food for this festival.They can look back on the past and look forward to the future together.It is said that there was a dragon in the sky.The dragon wanted to swallow up the moon.To protect the frighten the dragon away.The Four seasons

A year has four seasons.Every season has three months.The weather of one season is different from that of any other.The life cycles of plants are controlled by the seasons.The first season is spring.The three months in it are March，April and May.During that time we have warm weather and fine days.All plants come to life.Animals wake up from hibernation.It is time for farmers to get ready for their fields.The second season is summer.The three months are June，July and August.The weather is very hot and it often rains.People can go swimming and sightseeing.It is time for all things to grow up.The third season is autumn.The three months are September，October and November.The weather becomes cooler and cooler.Leaves begin to fall to the ground.It is the harvest time for farmers.The fourth season is winter.December，January and February are the three months of that season.The weather is very cold，and most of the plants die at that time.Sometimes it snows.People can enjoy skating and skiing.But winter doesn‟ t stay with us for a long time，for spring comes again soon.四季

一年有四季，每个季节有三个月，每个季节的气候都不一样。生命的轮回由四季控制。

第一个季度是春季。春季的三个月为三月、四月和五月。在这段时间里，天气温暖、晴朗，万物复苏。冬眠的动物们也醒过来了，农民们开始忙农活。

第二个季节是夏季，包括六月、七月和八月。天气非常热，而且老是下雨。人们能游泳、观光。夏季也是万物生长的好时候。

第三个季节是秋季，三个月分别是九月、十月和十一月。天 气越来越凉，树叶开始飘落。这是一个收获的季节。

最后一个季节是冬季，这一季包括十二月、一月和二月。天气非常冷，大多数植物都死了。有时候还下雪，人们可以滑冰和滑雪。但是冬天不会太长，因为春天马上就要来临了。

Asking for trouble 自找麻烦

It must have been about two in the morning when I returned home.I tried to wake up my wife by ringing the door-bell, but she was fast asleep, so I got a ladder from the shed in the garden, put it against the wall, and began climbing towards the bedroom window.I was almost there when a sarcastic voice below said,' I don't think the windows need cleaning at this time of the night.' I looked down and nearly fell off the ladder when I saw a policeman.I immediately regretted answering in the way I did, but I said, 'I enjoy cleaning windows at night.' 'So do I,' answered the policeman in the same tone.'Excuse my interrupting you.I hate to interrupt a man when he's busy working, but would you mind coming with me to the station ?'

'Well, I'd prefer to stay here,' I said.'You see, I've forgotten my key.' 'Your what ?' he called.'My key,' I shouted.'

Fortunately, the shouting woke up my wife who opened the window just as the policeman had started to climb towards me.我回到家时，肯定已是凌晨两点左右了。我按响了门铃，试图唤醒我的妻子，但她睡得很熟。于是，我从花园的小棚里搬来了一个梯子，把它靠在墙边，开始向卧室的窗口爬去。快要爬到窗口时，下面一个人用讽刺的口吻说：“我看不必在夜里这个时候擦窗子吧。”我向下面看去。当我看清是一个警察时，差一点儿从梯子上掉下去。我回答了他的话，但马上又后悔不该那样说，我是这样说的：“我喜欢在夜里擦窗子。”

“我也是的，”警察用同样的声调回答，“请原谅我打断了您。当一个人在忙着干活时，我是不愿意去打断他的，但请您跟我到警察局去一趟好吗？”

“可我更愿意呆在这儿，”我说，“您瞧，我忘带钥匙了。”

“什么？”他大声问。

“钥匙！”我喊道。

幸运得很，这喊声惊醒了我的妻子。就在警察开始向我爬上来时，她打开了窗子。In or out ？ 进来还是出去？

Our dog, Rex, used to sit outside our front gate and bark.Every time he wanted to come into the garden he would bark until someone opened the gate.As the neighbours complained of the noise, my husband spent weeks training him to press his paw on the latch to let himself in.Rex soon became an expert at opening the gate.However, when I was going out shopping last week, I noticed him in the garden near the gate.This time he was barking so that someone would let him out!Since then, he has developed another bad habit.As soon as he opens the gate from the outside, he comes into the garden and waits until the gate shuts.Then he sits and barks until someone lets him out.After this he immediately lets himself in and begins barking again.Yesterday my husband removed the gate and Rex got so annoyed we have not seen him since.我家的狗雷克斯，过去常坐在大门外面叫。每当它想到花园里来时，便汪汪叫个不停，直到有人把门打开。由于邻居们对狗叫很有意见，所以我丈夫花了几个星期的时间训练它用脚爪按住门闩把自己放进来。雷克斯很快成了开门的专家。然而上星期我正要出去买东西时，发现它正呆在花园里边靠门的地方。这次它叫着让人把它放出去！从那以后，它养成了另外一种坏习惯。它从外面把门一打开，就走进花园，等着门自动关上。这之后他就坐下汪汪叫起来，直到有人来把它放出去。出去之后，它又马上把自己放进来，接着再开始叫。昨天，我丈夫把门卸了下来，雷克斯很生气，此后我们便再也没有见到它。

古代汉语背诵文选16篇 译文

1.《郑伯克段于鄢》

从前，郑武公在申国娶了一个妻子，名叫武姜，她生下庄公和共叔段。庄公出生时难产，武姜受到惊吓，因此给他取名叫“寤生”，所以很厌恶他。武姜偏爱共叔段，想立共叔段为世子，多次向武公请求，武公都不答应。

到庄公即位的时候，武姜就替共叔段请求分封到制邑去。庄公说：“制邑是个险要的地方，从前虢叔就死在那里，若是封给其它城邑，我都可以照吩咐办。”武姜便请求封给太叔京邑，庄公答应了，让他住在那里，称他为京城太叔。

大夫祭仲说：“分封的都城如果城墙超过三百方丈长，会成为国家的祸害。先王的制度规定，国内最大的城邑不能超过国都的三分之一，中等的不得超过它的五分之一，小的不能超过它的九分之一。现在，京邑的城墙不合法度，不符合法制，您的利益会受到损害。”庄公说：“姜氏想要这样，我如何躲开这种祸害呢？”祭仲回答说：“姜氏哪有满足的时候！不如及早处置，别让祸根滋长蔓延，一滋长蔓延就难办了。蔓延开来的野草还很难铲除干净，何况是您那受到宠爱的弟弟呢？”庄公说：“多做不义的事情，必定会自己垮台，你姑且等待。”

过了不久，太叔段使原来属于郑国的西边和北边的边邑既属于郑，又归为自己，成两属之地。公子吕说：“国家不能有两个国君，现在您打算怎么办？您如果打算把郑国交给太叔，那么我请求去服侍他；如果不给，那么就请除掉他，不要使百姓们产生疑虑。”庄公说：“不用管他，他自己会遭到灾祸的。”太叔又把两处地方改为自己统辖的地方，一直扩展到廪延。公子吕说：“可以行动了！土地扩大了，他将得到老百姓的拥护。”庄公说：“对君主不义，对兄长不亲，土地虽然扩大了，他最终会垮台的。”

共叔段修整了城郭，准备好了充足的粮食，修缮盔甲兵器，准备好了步兵和战车，将要偷袭郑国都。武姜准备为共叔段打开城门做内应。庄公知道了共叔段偷袭郑的日期，说：“可以出击了！”于是命令子封率领二百辆战车，去讨伐京邑。京邑的人民背叛共叔段，共叔段于是逃到鄢城。庄公又追到鄢城讨伐他。五月二十三日，共叔段逃到共国。

《春秋》记载道：“郑伯克段于鄢。”意思是说共叔段不遵守做弟弟的本分，所以不说他是弟弟；兄弟俩如同两个国君一样争斗，所以用“克”字；称庄公为“郑伯”（意为大哥），是讥讽他对弟弟失教；赶走共叔段是出于郑庄公的本意，不写共叔段自动出奔，是史官下笔对庄公的责难。

庄公就把武姜安置在城颍，并且发誓说：“不到黄泉（不到死后埋在地下），不再见面！”过了些时候，庄公后悔了。有个叫颍考叔的，是颍谷管理疆界的官吏，听到这件事，去把贡品献给郑庄公。庄公赐给他饭食。

颍考叔在吃饭的时候，把肉留着。庄公问他为什么这样。颍考叔答道：“小人有一个母亲，我吃的东西她都吃过，只是从未吃过君王的肉羹，请让我带回去送给她吃。”庄公说：“你有个老娘可以孝敬，唉，唯独我就没有！”颍考叔说：“请问您为什么这么说？”庄公把原因告诉了他，还告诉颖考叔他后悔的心情。颍考叔答道：“您有什么忧虑的？只要掘地挖出泉水，挖个隧道，在那里见面，那谁能说不是这样（不是跟誓词相合）呢？”庄公依了他的话。庄公走进隧道去见武姜，赋诗道：“大隧之中相见啊，多么和乐相得啊！”武姜走出地道，赋诗道：“大隧之外相见啊，多么舒畅快乐啊！”于是姜氏和庄公作为母亲和儿子跟从前一样（即恢复了母子关系）

君子说：“颍考叔是位真正的孝子，他不仅孝顺自己的母亲，而且把这种孝心推广到郑伯身上。《诗经·既醉》篇说：‘孝子不断地推行孝道，永远能感化你的同类。’大概就是对颍考叔这类孝子而说的吧？”

2.《齐桓公伐楚》

齐桓公与夫人蔡姬在园林中乘舟游玩，蔡姬故意晃动小船，桓公吓得脸色都变了，他阻止蔡姬，蔡姬却不听。桓公一怒之下让她回到了蔡国，但没有说与她断绝夫妻关系，蔡姬的哥哥蔡穆侯却让她改嫁了。

鲁僖公四年的春天，齐桓公率领诸侯国的军队攻打蔡国。蔡国溃败，接着又去攻打楚国。

楚成王派使节到齐军对齐桓公说：“您住在北方，我住在南方，因此牛马发情相逐也到不了双方的疆土。没想到您进入了我们的 国土这是什么缘故？”管仲回答说：“从前召康公命令我们先君大公说：‘五等诸侯和九州长官，你都有权征讨他们，从而共同辅佐周王室。’召康公还给了我们先君征讨的范围：东到海边，西到黄河，南到穆陵，北到无隶。你们应当进贡的包茅没有交纳，周王室的祭祀供不上，没有用来渗滤酒渣的东西，我特来征收贡物； 周昭王南巡没有返回，我特来查问这件事。”楚国使臣回答说： “贡品没有交纳，是我们国君的过错，我们怎么敢不供给呢？周昭王南巡没有返回，还是请您到水边去问一问吧！”于是齐军继续前进，临时驻扎在陉。

这年夏天，楚成王派使臣屈完到齐军中去交涉，齐军后撤，临时驻扎在召陵。

齐桓公让诸侯国的军队摆开阵势，与屈完同乘一辆战车观看军容。齐桓公说：“诸侯们难道是为我而来吗？他们不过是为了继 承我们先君的友好关系罢了。你们也同我们建立友好关系，怎么样？屈完回答说：“承蒙您惠临敝国并为我们的国家求福，忍辱接纳我们国君，这正是我们国君的

心愿。”齐桓公说：“我率领这些 诸侯军队作战，谁能够抵挡他们？我让这些军队攻打城池，什么样的城攻不下？”屈完回答说：‘如果您用仁德来安抚诸侯，哪个敢不顺服？如果您用武力的话，那么楚国就把方城山当作城墙，把 汉水当作护城河，您的兵马虽然众多，恐怕也没有用处！”

后来，屈完代表楚国与诸侯国订立了盟约。

3.《烛之武退秦师》

（僖公三十年）九月十日，晋文公和秦穆公联合围攻郑国，因为郑国曾对文公无礼，并且从属于晋的同时又从属于楚。晋军驻扎在函陵，秦军驻扎在氾水的南面。

佚之狐对郑伯说：“郑国处于危险之中了！假如让烛之武去见秦伯，（秦国的）军队一定会撤退。”郑伯听从了他的意见。烛之武推辞说：“我年轻时，尚且不如别人；现在老了，也不能有什么作为了。”郑文公说：“我早先没有重用您，现在危急之中求您，这是我的过错。然而郑国灭亡了，对您也不利啊！”烛之武答应了郑伯。

在夜晚（有人）用绳子（将烛之武）从城上放下去，见到了秦伯，烛之武说：“秦、晋两国围攻郑国，郑国已经知道要灭亡了。假如灭掉郑国对您有好处,怎敢拿这件事情来麻烦您。越过邻国把远方的郑国作为（秦国的）东部边邑，您知道这是困难的，（您）为什么要灭掉郑国而给邻国增加土地呢？邻国的势力雄厚了，您秦国的势力也就相对削弱了。如果您放弃围攻郑国而把它当做东方道路上接待过客的主人，出使的人来来往往，（郑国可以随时）供给他们缺少的东西，对您也没有什么害处。而且您曾经给予晋惠公恩惠，惠公曾经答应给您焦、瑕两座城池。（然而）惠公在早上渡过黄河回国，在晚上就修筑防御工事，这是您知道的。晋国，怎么会满足呢？（现在它）已经在东边使郑国成为它的边境，又想要扩大它西边的边界。如果不使秦国土地亏损，将从哪里得到他贪求的土地呢？削弱秦国对晋国有利，希望您考虑这件事！”秦伯心悦诚服，就与郑国签订了盟约。派遣杞子、逢孙、杨孙守卫郑国，于是秦国就撤军了。

子犯请求袭击秦军。晋文公说：“不行！假如没有那人（秦伯）的力量，我是不会到这个地步的。依靠别人的力量而又反过来损害他，这是不仁义的；失掉自己的同盟者，这是不明智的；用混乱相攻（的局面）取代联合一致（的局面），这是不符合武德的。我们还是回去吧！”晋军也离开了郑国。

4.《晋灵公不君》

晋灵公不行君道，大量征收赋税来满足奢侈的生活。他从高台上用弹弓射行人，观看他们躲避弹丸的样子。厨师没有把熊掌炖烂，他就把厨师

杀了，放在筐里，让官女们用车载经过朝廷。大臣赵盾和士季看见露出的死人手，便询问他被杀的原因，并为晋灵公的无道而忧虑。他们准备规劝晋灵公，士季说：“如果您去进谏而国君不听，那就没有人能接着进谏了。让我先去规劝，他不接受，您就接着去劝。”士季去见晋灵公时往前走了三次，到了屋檐下，晋灵公才抬头看他，并说：“我已经知道自己的过错了，打算改正。”士季叩头回答说：“哪个人能不犯错误呢，犯了错误能够改正，没有比这更大的好事了。《诗·大雅，荡》说：‘没有谁向善没一个开始，但很少能坚持到底。’如果这样，那么弥补过失的人就太少了。您如能始终坚持向善，那么国家就有了保障，而不止是臣子们有了依靠。《诗·大雅·烝民》又说： ‘周宣王有了过失，只有仲山甫来弥补。’这是说周宣王能补救过失。国君能够弥补过失，君位就不会失去了。” 可是晋灵公仍然没有改正。赵盾又多次劝谏，使晋灵公感到厌烦，晋灵公便派鉏麑去刺杀赵盾。鉏麑一大早就去了赵盾的家，只见卧室的门开着，赵盾穿戴好礼服准备上朝，时间还早，他和衣坐着打盹儿。鉏麑退了出来，感叹地说：“时刻不忘记恭敬国君（指按时上朝），真是百姓的靠山啊。杀害百姓的靠山，这是不忠；背弃国君的命令，这是失信。不忠不信中有一样，还不如去死！”于是，鉏麑一头撞在槐树上死了。

秋天九月，晋灵公请赵盾喝酒，事先埋伏下武士，准备杀掉赵盾。赵盾的车夫提弥明发现了这个阴谋，快步走上殿堂，说：“臣下陪君王宴饮，酒过三巡还不告退，就不合礼仪了。”于是他扶起赵盾走下殿堂。晋灵公唤出了猛犬来咬赵盾。提弥明徒手上前搏斗，打死了猛犬。赵盾说：“不用人而用狗，即使凶猛，又有什么用！”他们两人与埋伏的武士边打边退。结果，提弥明为赵盾战死了。

当初，赵盾到首阳山打猎，住在翳桑。他看见有个叫灵辄的人晕倒了，便去问他的病情。灵辄说：“我已经三天没吃东西了。”赵盾给他东西吃，他留下了一半。赵盾询问原因，灵辄说：“我给贵族做仆人已经三年了，不知道家中老母是否活着。现在离家近了，请允许我把这一半留给她。”赵盾让他把食物吃完，另外给他准备了一篮饭和肉，放在口袋里给他。不久灵辄做了晋灵公的武士，他在搏杀中把武器倒过来抵挡晋灵公手下的人，使赵盾得以脱险。赵盾问他为什么这样做，他回答说：“我就是在翳桑的饿汉。”赵盾再问他的姓名和住处，他没有回答就退走了。赵盾自己也逃亡了。

九月二十六日，赵穿在桃园杀掉了晋灵公。赵盾还没有走出国境的山界，听到灵公被杀便回来了。晋国太史董狐记载道：“赵盾弑杀了他的国君。”他还把这个说法拿到朝廷上公布。赵盾说： “不是这样。”董狐说：“您身为正卿，逃亡而不出国境，回来后又不讨伐叛贼，不是您杀了国君又是谁呢？”赵盾说：“哎！《诗经》中 说：‘由于我怀念祖国，反而自己找来了忧患。’这话大概说的是我吧。”

孔子说：“董狐是古代的好史官，记载史事的原则是直言不讳。赵盾是古代的好大夫，因为史官的记事原则而蒙受了弑君的恶名。可惜啊，如果他出了国境，就会避免弑君之名了。”

赵盾派赵穿到成周去迎接晋国公子黑臀，把他立为国君。十月初三，公子黑臀去朝拜了武公庙。

5.《鞌之战》

公元前589年六月十七日，齐、晋双方军队在鞍摆开阵势。邴夏为齐侯驾车，逢丑父当为戎右（古代战车，将领居左，御者居中。如果将领是君主或主帅则居中，御者居左。负责保护协助将领的人居右）。晋国的解张为郤克驾车，郑丘缓当戎右。齐侯说：“我姑且消灭了这些人再吃早饭。”不给马披上甲就驱马奔驰（之：指驾车的马）。郤克被箭射伤，血流到了鞋上，没有中断擂鼓，说：“我受重伤了（古代病重、伤重、饥饿、劳累过度造成体力难以支持，都叫‘病’）。”解张说：“从一开始交战，箭就射进了我的手和肘，我折断射中的箭杆继续驾车，左边的车轮都被我的血染成了黑红色，我哪敢说受伤？您（‘吾子’比‘子’更亲切些）忍著点吧！”郑丘缓说：“从一开始接战，如果遇到地势不平，我必定下去推车，您难道知道这些吗？不过您确实伤势很重难以支持了。”解张说：“军队的耳朵和眼睛，都集中在我们的鼓声和战旗，前进后退都要听从它。这辆车上只要还有一个人镇守住它，战事就可以成功。怎么能由于伤痛而败坏了国君的大事呢？穿上盔甲，手执兵器，本来就抱定了必死的决心，伤痛还不至于死，您（还是）努力指挥战斗吧！”解张将右手所持的辔绳并握于左手，腾出右手接过郤克的鼓槌擂鼓。张侯所驾的马狂奔起来（由于单手持辔无法控制），晋军跟随他们。齐军崩溃。晋军追赶齐军，绕着华不注山追了三遍。

韩厥梦见子舆（韩厥父，当时已去世）对自己说：“次天早晨避开战车左右两侧！”因此（韩厥）在战车当中驾车追赶齐侯。邴夏说：“射那个驾车的，是个贵族。”齐侯说：“称他为贵族又去射他，这不合于礼。”（按，乃齐侯愚蠢之举）射他左边的人，坠落车下；射他右边的人，倒在车里。（晋军）将军綦毋张（晋大夫，綦毋氏，名张）失去战车，跟随韩厥，说：“请搭车。”跟在左边或右边，（韩厥）都用肘制止他，使他站在自己身后（按，韩厥由于梦中警告，所以这样做，以免綦毋张受害）。韩厥弯下身子，把倒在车中的戎右安放稳当。逢丑父和齐侯交换位置（这是逢丑父为了保护齐侯，乘韩厥低下身子安放戎右的机会与齐侯交换位置，以便不能逃脱时蒙混敌人）。将要到达华泉（泉水名，在华不注山下）时，（齐侯）两边的（中间两马为服，旁边两马为骖）被树枝等钩住。（昨天夜里）丑父睡在轏车（一种卧车）里，有蛇从他身底出现，以臂击蛇，手臂受伤却隐瞒了伤情（按，这是为了交代丑父之所以不能下来推车而补叙的头天夜里的事）。所以不能推车而被追上。韩厥手持拴马绳站在齐侯的马前（絷：拴缚马足的绳索），拜两拜，然后下跪，低头至地（这是臣下对君主所行的礼节。春秋时代讲究等级尊卑，韩厥对敌国君主也行臣仆之礼）。捧著一杯酒并加上一块玉璧向齐侯献上，说：“我们国君派我们这些臣下为鲁、卫两国求情，他说：‘不要让军队深入齐国的土地。’臣下不幸，正好在军队任职，没有地方逃避隐藏（我不能不尽职作战）。而且怕由于我的逃避会给两国的国君带来耻辱。臣下不称职地处在战士地位，冒昧地向您报告，臣下不才，代理这个官职是由于人才

缺乏充数而已（外交辞令：自己是不得已参加战斗，不能不履行职责，来俘获齐侯你）。”逢丑父（充齐侯）命令齐侯下车，往华泉去取水来给自己喝。郑周父驾著齐君的副车，宛茷担任副车的车右，载上齐侯使他脱身。韩厥献上逢丑父，郤克的将领手下要杀掉他。呼喊道：“从今以后不会有代替他的国君承担患难的，有一个在这里，还要被杀死吗？”郤克说，“一个人不畏惧用死来使他的国君免于祸患，我杀了他不吉利。赦免他，用来鼓励事奉国君的人。”于是赦免了逢丑父。

The Way to Success

Success is something everyone looks for, longs for and dies for.But have you ever considered what success is? Some may hold that success means one has beautiful life, like pretty house, cool cars and great power.It’s indeed one way to define success.But to me, success is doing something one really feels like doing.To achieve this kind of success, one has to bear in mind three essential aspects, namely knowing where your interest really lies in, possessing the strong will to pursue your interest and having the diligence to realize your dream.In other words, they are “what” “why” and “how” of success.It’s really luckily good for one, especially for the younger generation of today to find their dreams, follow them and in the end, make them come true and become successful.Although it’s never easy to succeed, progressing with the strong will and diligence towards the right direction, you’ll be the one!

The Way to Success First essay—stream of thought type

The Way to Success

“Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration.” And here comes our question, what is the way to success?

A strong will and great efforts are the most essential two keys to the door of success.Why do people fail to achieve their goal? The reason is that most of them give up halfway due to their lack of a strong will once they encounter any difficulty.A man of a strong will always sticks to his cause no matter how tough it might be.Would Thomas Edison be such a great man in history if he had done nothing but possessing a strong will? We are all familiar with his story that he had tried one thousand kinds of materials before he finally made his great bulb light up.Without hard effort, Edison might have been a nobody.Without efforts, no one can succeed.To sum up, a strong will and great efforts can help one open up the way to success.Where there is a will with efforts, there is a way.
