第一篇：英语专业晨读美文励志篇：感恩的日子(美音)

英语专业晨读美文励志篇：感恩的日子(美音)[00:06.22]The Thanks We Give[00:10.71]It's not the turkey alone we're grateful for.[00:14.25]Not the cranberry sauce or the stuffing or even the pumpkin pie.[00:18.52]Some of the people seated at the table[00:21.30]are strangers—friends of friends,[00:23.59]cousins of in-laws—and some are almost desperately familiar,[00:27.46]faces we live and work with every day.[00:30.11]In any other week, today would merely be Thursday[00:34.21]and the gathering of all these people—the cooking[00:37.86]and serving and cleaning—a chore.[00:39.78]But today it doesn't feel that way.[00:41.86]The host—perhaps it's you—stands up and asks that we give thanks,[00:47.23]and we do, each in our own way.[00:49.79]And what we're thankful for is simply this, the food, the shelter,[00:54.47]the company and, above all, the sense of belonging.[00:58.63]As holidays go, Thanksgiving is in some ways the most philosophical.[01:03.72]Today we try not to take for granted the things[01:07.12]we almost always take for granted.We try,[01:10.08]if only in that brief pause before the eating begins,[01:13.63]to see through the well-worn patterns of our lives to[01:16.95]what lies behind them.In other words,[01:19.74]we try to understand how very rich we are,[01:22.76]whether we feel very rich or not.[01:25.52]Today is one of the few times most Americans consciously set desire aside,[01:31.48]if only because desire is incompatible with the gratitude—[01:35.23]not to mention the abundance—that Thanksgiving summons.[01:38.66]It's tempting to think that one Thanksgiving[01:41.70]is pretty much like another,[01:43.48]except for differences in the guest list and the recipes.[01:46.95]But it isn't true.This is always a feast about where we are now.[01:51.94]Thanksgiving reflects the complexion of the year we're in.[01:55.80]Some years it feels buoyant, almost jubilant in nature.[02:00.40]Other years it seems marked by a conspicuous humility[02:05.11]uncommon in the calendar of American emotions.[02:08.68]And this year? We will probably remember this Thanksgiving[02:13.04]as a banquet of mixed emotions.This is, after all,[02:16.61]a profoundly American holiday.[02:18.89]The undertow of business as usual seems especially strong this year.[02:23.76]The shadow of a war and misgivings over the future[02:27.00]loom in the minds of many of us.[02:29.34]Most years we enjoy the privacy of Thanksgiving, but this year,[02:34.18]somehow, the holiday feels like part of a public effort to remember[02:38.44]and reclaim for ourselves what it means to be American.[02:42.30]That means giving thanks for some fundamental principles[02:46.09]that should be honored every day of the year[02:49.36]in the life of this nation—principles of generosity,[02:53.20]tolerance and inclusion.This is a feast[02:56.02]that no one should be turned away from.[02:58.16]The abundance of the food piled on the table should signify[03:02.07]that there is plenty for all, plenty to be shared.[03:05.12]The welcome we feel makes sense only if we also extend it to others.

英语专业晨读美文励志篇：插上想象的翅膀(美音)[00:05.45]The Power of Imagination[00:07.07]Imagination is the ability to form a mental image of something[00:12.56]that is not perceived through the senses.[00:14.77]It is the ability of the mind to built mental scenes,[00:18.50]objects or events that do not exist,[00:21.10]are not present or have happened in the past.[00:24.63]Memory is actually a manifestation of imagination.[00:28.49]Everyone possesses some imagination ability.[00:32.33]In some it may be highly developed and[00:35.93]in others it may manifest in a weaker form.[00:38.92]It manifests in various degrees in various people.[00:42.35]It manifests in various forms, one of which is daydreaming.[00:47.54]Though too much idle daydreaming may make one impractical,[00:51.36]some daydreaming, when not being engaged in something[00:55.26]that requires attention, provides some temporary happiness,[00:58.77]calmness and relief from stress.[01:01.51]In your imagination you can travel anywhere in the speed of light[01:05.77]without any obstacles.It can make you feel free,[01:09.58]though temporarily, and only in the mind, from tasks,[01:13.54]difficulties and unpleasant circumstances.[01:16.64]A developed and strong imagination[01:19.60]does not make you a daydreamer and impractical.[01:23.05]On the contrary, it strengthens your creative abilities,[01:27.11]and is a great tool for recreating[01:30.08]and remodeling your world and life.[01:32.62]This is a great power that can change your whole life.[01:35.73]It is used extensively in magic,[01:38.44]creative visualization and affirmations.[01:41.35]It is the creator of circumstances and events.[01:44.75]When you know how to work with it,[01:47.29]you can make your hearts' desires come true.[01:50.28]Imagination has a great role and value in each one's life.[01:54.05]It is much more than just idle daydreaming.[01:57.18]We all use it, whether consciously or unconsciously,[02:00.88]in most of our daily affairs.[02:03.30]We use our imagination whenever we plan a party,[02:07.33]a trip, our work or a meeting.[02:09.24]We use it when we describe an event,[02:12.01]explain how to arrive to a certain street, write,[02:15.67]tell a story or cook a cake.[02:18.11]Imagination is a creative power[02:20.84]that is necessary for inventing an instrument,[02:23.34]designing a dress or a building,[02:25.29]painting a picture or writing a book.[02:28.06]The creative power of imagination has an important role[02:32.44]in the achievement of success in any field.[02:35.20]What we imagine with faith and feelings comes into being.[02:39.16]It is the power beyond creative visualization,[02:42.76]positive thinking and affirmations.[02:45.22]Visualizing an object or a situation,[02:48.78]and repeating often this mental image,[02:51.21]attracts the object or situation into our lives.[02:54.70]This opens for us new, vast and fascinating opportunities.[02:59.86]This means that we should think only in a positive manner[03:03.74]about our desires, otherwise we may create[03:07.51]and attract into our lives, events,[03:09.25]situations and people that we don't really want.[03:12.91]This is actually what most of us do,[03:15.53]because we don't use the power of imagination correctly.[03:19.24]If you do not recognize the importance of[03:22.18]the power of the imagination, and let it run riot,[03:26.21]your life may not be as happy and successful[03:29.50]as you would have wanted it to be.[03:31.70]Lack of understanding of the power of the imagination is[03:35.61]responsible for the suffering, incompetence,[03:38.45]difficulties, failures and unhappiness people experience.[03:43.19]For some reason, most people are inclined to think in a negative way.[03:48.70]They do not expect success.They expect the worst,[03:52.54]and when they fail, they believe that fate is against them.[03:56.33]This attitude can be changed, and then life will improve accordingly.[04:01.49]Understanding how to use your imagination correctly,[04:04.56]and putting this knowledge into practice,[04:07.13]for your own and others' benefit,[04:09.37]will put you on the golden path to success,[04:12.05]satisfaction and happiness.

第三篇：英语专业晨读美文励志篇：爱因斯坦的宝贵建议(美音)

英语专业晨读美文励志篇：爱因斯坦的宝贵建议

Advise Proposed by Albert EinsteinEvery day I remind myself that my inner and outer lifeare based on the labors of other men, living and dead,and that I must exert myself in order to givein the same measure as I have receivedand am still receiving.—Albert EinsteinAlbert Einstein was an amazing physicist.He figured out so many universal principles and equationsthat he was way ahead of his fellow scientistsat any point of time.But he is also remembered for another thing,a quality which made people call him a genius:his words.Prof.Einstein was a philosopherwho clearly understood the laws of successand explained them like the way he did with his equations.Here is a list of 10 things out ofthe numerously wonderful things he had said;10 golden lessons that you can put to use in your everyday life.1.A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new.Most people don't try new things because of their fear of failure.Failing is not something to be afraid of.It is often the loserswho learn more about winning than the winners.Our mistakes always give us opportunities to learn and grow.2.Education is what remains after one has forgottenwhat one has learned in school.30 years from now, you won't possibly rememberwhat chapters you had in your science book;you'd only remember what you learn on your way.Life lessons stay with you forever.Real education starts from within.3.I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination.Imagination is more important than knowledge.Knowledge is limited.Imagination encircles the world.When you reflect on how far we humans have come fromthe prehistoric caves to mind-blowing technological advancements,you would feel the power of imagination.What we have now was built from the imagination of our forefathers.What we will have in future will be built from our imagination.4.The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources.Creativity and uniqueness often depends onhow well you hide your sources.You can get inspired and influenced by other great people;but when you are on stage with the whole world watching,you must become a unique,individual force that learnt different values from different people.5.The value of a man should be seen in what he givesand not in what he is able to receive.]Try not to become a man of success,but rather try to become a man of value.If you think of all the top people in the world,they would have added something of value to the world.You must give in order to take.When your purpose is contributing or adding value to the world,you will be elevated to a higher level of living.6.There are two ways to live:you can live as if nothing is a miracle;you can live as if everything is a miracle.]When nothing is a miracle,you gain the power of doing anything you wantand you have no limits.And when everything is a miracle,you stop by to appreciate even the smallest ofbeautiful things in the world.Thinking both ways will give you a productive and happy life.7.When I examine myself and my methods of thought,I come to the conclusion that the gift of fantasyhas meant more to me than any talent for abstract, positive thinking.Dreaming about all the great thingsthat you can achieve is the key to a life filled with positivity.Let your imagination run amuck and create the worldthat you would wish to be in.8.In order to be an immaculate member of a flock of sheep,one must above all be a sheep oneself.If you want to become a very successful entrepreneur,you must start a business right away.Wishing to become one, but fearing the consequences will not help.The same applies to everything—in order to win a game,one must above all play the game.9.You have to learn the rules of the game.And then you have to play better than anyone else.Learn the rules of your game and start playing it best.Keep competing like your life depended on it.And after a while you will have no one elsebut you to compete against.At that point, better your best.10.The important thing is not to stop questioning.Curiosity has its own reason for existing.Intelligent people ask.Keep questioning yourselfand others to find solutions.This will help gain knowledge and analyze your growthin all walks of life.我每天上百次的提醒自己：我的精神生活和物质生活都是以别人（包括生者和死者）的劳动为基础的，我必须尽力以同样的分量来报偿我所领受了的和至今还在领受着的东西。——阿尔伯特•爱因斯坦

阿尔伯特•爱因斯坦是20世纪最伟大的物理学家。他提出了很多的普遍定理和方程式，使他一直超越其他科学家。但是，人们也因为另一件事而记住他：一种令人们都称他为天才的才能：他所说过的话。爱因斯坦教授是一位哲学家，他清楚懂得什么是成功法则，他能像解释他的方程式那般解释这些法则。这里有10句话是从他以前所说过的无数极精彩的话语中提取出来的；这是十条你能用在平时生活之中的宝贵建议。

不曾犯错的人从来不曾尝试新事物。大多数人因为害怕失败而不会去尝试新的事物。失败并不可怕，因为败者往往会比胜者更能认识胜利所蕴含的意味。而错误总是会给予我们机会去学习和成长。教育是一个人在学校学到的唯一不被遗忘的东西。30年之后，你将不会记得曾经在教科书中学过哪些章节；你只会记得在过程中你学到什么。生活所带给的经验和教训将陪伴你终生。真正的教育从自身内部开始。我已经受够了作为一个能自由地控制想象力的大师。想像力比知识更重要。因为知识是有限的，而想象力却能畅游整个世界。当你思考我们人类发展，从史前的洞穴生活到现在令人惊叹的科学技术的突飞猛进，你会感到想象力的威力。我们现在所拥有的一切都来源于祖辈的想象力；而我们的想象力又将构筑世界的未来。

创意的奥秘是知道如何隐藏你的创意来源。创意和独特性往往取决于如何隐藏你的创意来源。你可以从其他伟人身上受到启发和影响；但当你站在全世界都注视你的舞台上的时候，你必须成为一个独特的、个人的力量去从不同的人身上学习不同的价值观。一个人的价值，在于他贡献什么，而不是他能取得什么。不要渴望成为一个成功的人，而是应该努力做一个有价值的人。当你回顾全球最顶尖人物的一生之后，你会发现他们都曾经为世界创造过某些价值。要得到回报，你得先付出。当你的目标是为世界做贡献或者创造价值时，无论你的精神生活或物质生活都将会被提升到一个更高的层次。天下只有两种生活方式：人生不存在奇迹；人生处处孕育着奇迹。当你认为人生不存在奇迹的时候，你会得到力量去做任何你想要做的事情，而且你会超越极限。而当你认为人生处处孕育着奇迹的时候，你甚至会停下来为一件小小的美好事物而驻足欣赏。这两种思考方式都能让你拥有充实而幸福的生活。在我审视我自己和我的思考方式时，我的结论是：在吸收有益的知识方面，奇思玄想的天赋对我而言，比我的才干更重要。幻想着所有你可以完成的伟大事业能够使你的生活充满积极性。让你的想象力任意驰骋，尽情创造你想要的一切吧。要成为羊群中优秀的一员，你就必须先成为一只羊。如果你想成为一名成功的企业家，你就必须现在立刻创立你的公司。只是希望成为企业家，但又害怕面对失败后果，这样一点用处也没有。同理，很多事情也一样——要赢比赛，首先得参加比赛。你必须去学习游戏规则。然后，你还要比别人玩得更好。了解游戏规则，然后开始游戏并做到最好。一直保持竞争的状态就好像押下你的生命作为赌注那样。不久后，你的对手可能只剩下你自己。到那时，超越自己！最重要的是不要停止问问题。好奇心的存在，自有它的道理。智者总是好问。不停地对自己和他人发问以寻求解决方法。这将会帮助你在人生进程中获得更多知识与智慧，并全方位地分析自己的成长。

英语专业晨读美文励志篇：今天，开始新的生活(英音)[00:03.08]Today I Begin a New Life[00:05.82]Today I shed my old skin which hath, too long,[00:11.39]suffered the bruises of failure and the wounds of mediocrity.[00:14.89]Today I am born anew and my birthplace[00:18.50]is a vineyard where there is fruit for all.[00:21.56]Today I will pluck grapes of wisdom from the tallest[00:25.45]and fullest vines in the vineyard,[00:27.53]for these were planted by the wisest of my profession who have come before me,[00:32.67]generation upon generation.[00:35.30]Today I will savor the taste of grapes from these vines and verily[00:40.22]I will swallow the seed of success buried in each[00:43.64]and new life will sprout within me.[00:46.37]The career I have chosen is laden with opportunity[00:50.09]yet it is fraught with heartbreak and despair and the bodies of those[00:54.58]who have failed, were they piled one atop another,[00:57.42]would cast a shadow down upon all the pyramids of the earth.[01:01.25]Yet I will not fail, as the others,[01:03.87]for in my hands I now hold the charts[01:06.93]which will guide through perilous waters to shores[01:09.67]which only yesterday seemed but a dream.[01:12.95]As a child I was slave to my impulses;now I am slave to my habits,[01:18.64]as are all grown men.I will form good habits and become their slave.[01:24.10]And how will I accomplish this difficult feat? Through these scrolls,[01:28.70]it will be done, for each scroll contains a principle[01:32.09]which will drive a bad habit from my life and replace it with one[01:36.68]which will bring me closer to success.[01:38.87]And I make a solemn oath to myself that nothing will retard my new life's growth.[01:45.11]I will lose not a day from these readings[01:48.39]for that day cannot be retrieved nor can I substitute another for it.[01:53.53]I must not, I will not, break this habit of daily reading from these scrolls and,[01:59.22]in truth, the few moments spent each day on this new habit[02:03.48]are but a small price to pay for the happiness and success that will be mine.[02:08.84]Today my old skin has become as dust.[02:12.55]I will walk tall among men and they will know me not,[02:16.17]for today I am a new man, with a new life.

英语专业晨读美文励志篇：如何梦想成真(美音)

[00:04.27]Dreams[00:08.23]To accomplish great things, you must dream great dreams.[00:12.80]But dreaming alone isn't enough,[00:14.90]you must believe in your dreams and you must act.[00:17.77]Without action, even the most grand of dreams evaporate into the air[00:22.65]when left unnurtured in the misty realms of the mind.[00:26.13]Do you dare to be a dreamer? Prepare to go it alone.[00:29.62]Dreamers build bridges between the known and the unknown.[00:33.24]As you dance your dreams into reality,[00:35.68]those who can't hear the music may think you a fool.[00:38.47]Pay no heed to those who would kill your dreams;[00:41.59]small minds always do that.Great minds will encourage you that[00:45.61]you can become great too.[00:47.16]Afraid you haven't got what it takes?[00:49.46]Then get it!Feed your mind the mental food it hungers for.[00:52.89]There was a dog breeder who had two dogs that raced every weekend.[00:56.62]He took bets and always won.One week he'd bet on his black dog,[01:01.50]and the black dog would win.The next week he'd bet on the white dog,[01:05.14]and folks seeing the black dog win the week before would bet,[01:08.28]but this time the white dog would win.Why?[01:10.80]One week he'd feed the dog he wanted to win a grand diet,[01:14.26]and just give the other dog enough to survive.[01:16.93]The dog that was well fed was stronger and would always win the race.[01:21.07]Your mind is the same way;[01:22.94]it grows stronger or weaker with what you feed it.[01:25.81]The diet of the mind is what gives you the confidence, courage,[01:30.05]knowledge, and the direction you need to succeed in your dreams,[01:33.55]or keep you from them.You can build your mind up or tear it down.[01:37.29]The choice is yours and you make it every day.[01:40.11]Have you been waiting for the right time to reach for your dreams?[01:43.23]Have you been waiting for the right circumstances[01:46.03]to reach for your dreams?[01:47.42]Have you been waiting for the right opportunity to reach for dreams?[01:50.73]My, you're patient, aren't you? You could be waiting forever, you know.[01:55.87]Time is an illusion.Circumstances are what you make them.[02:00.02]Opportunity is a whisper that waits for your invitation,[02:03.66]it doesn't burst in and shout its arrival.[02:06.21]Now is the right time.Circumstances change when you take action.[02:11.08]Opportunity is yours for the making.[02:13.97]So what are you really waiting for?
