(Except From Emerson, Nature)

The high and divine beauty which can be loved without effeminacy, is that which is found in combination with the human will.Beauty is the mark God sets upon virtue.Every natural action is graceful.Every heroic act is also decent, and causes the place and the bystanders to shine.We are taught by great actions that the universe is the property of every individual in it.Every rational creature has all nature for his dowry and estate.It is his, if he will.He may divest himself of it;he may creep into a corner, and abdicate his kingdom, as most men do, but he is entitled to the world by his constitution.In proportion to the energy of his thought and will, he takes up the world into himself.“All those things for which men plough, build, or sail, obey virtue;” said Sallust.“The winds and waves,” said Gibbon, “are always on the side of the ablest navigators.” So are the sun and moon and all the stars of heaven.When a noble act is done,--perchance in a scene of great natural beauty;when Leonidas and his three hundred martyrs consume one day in dying, and the sun and moon come each and look at them once in the steep defile of Thermopylae;when Arnold Winkelried, in the high Alps, under the shadow of the avalanche, gathers in his side a sheaf of Austrian spears to break the line for his comrades;are not these heroes entitled to add the beauty of the scene to the beauty of the deed? When the bark of Columbus nears the shore of America;--before it, the beach lined with savages, fleeing out of all their huts of cane;the sea behind;and the purple mountains of the Indian Archipelago around, can we separate the man from the living picture? Does not the New World clothe his form with her palm-groves and savannahs as fit drapery? Ever does natural beauty steal in like air, and envelope great actions.II.Chinese-English Translation

From 王蒙 《高原的风》（试题中间略有删节）

说这个话的是老宋的至交，身高一米九的老赵。老赵的父亲曾在北洋军阀时期大富大贵，老赵无所不好，无所不能，琴、棋、书、画、摄影、京戏、大鼓、变戏法、拿大顶、抹灰、砌灶……但又无一称精。近年来他的日子也有不少改善，但改不了他那副不梳头、不系领钩、不刮脸的落魄行藏，而且一张口说话常带三分晦气。

真的？长眠=安息。而生活，就是奋斗，就是咬紧牙关，就是承受一个又一个打击。年轻时候他看过电影《墨西哥人》，墨西哥人一声不吭地承受着雨点般落向他的头部面部胸部的拳击。扛起麻袋走在颤悠悠的跳板上真觉得再多一根稻草就能把脊椎压断。在四下透风的教室里给坐在土坯凳子上的孩子讲人生的真谛在于使别人生活得好。给儿子烤一块红瓤白薯。在煤油灯底下一边看书一边揉着眼睛里的水分。越穷还越要留下点积蓄，他又存了一百元定期。生是一种韧性啊。

如今，每天早晨在哗哗作响的喧闹的水声里洗透拖把，把洋灰地擦得像打上了蜡，新鲜的水门汀散发出一股碱腥却喜人的气息。阳光透过大幅针织编花白色窗帘照在绿色的水仙叶上。墙上挂着丝织的徐悲鸿的群马。音箱里时而传出获奥斯卡金像奖影片《爱情故事》的主题曲，大提琴的低音威严而又和暖。客人来了坐在双垫沙发上吸红双喜香烟，喝一块七一两的茶。客人走了把高雅的沙发中一一整理。似乎是飞机失事后幸存者的归家。好像是马拉松赛后运动员泡在热水浴缸里，他如释重负，闭上眼睛，长长地吐一口浊气。

Main Plot:

Monsieur Daron, an eighty-six-year-old-man, comes to live at the new spa in Rondelis.He believes himself to be in excellent health, as a result of “careful living.” He has always had “an obsessive fear of death,” and he avoids all pleasure because it may be dangerous.In order to measure and monitor his own condition, M.Daron arranges for the doctor in charge of the springs to visit him once a week with information on the health of everyone else in the surrounding area who is over the age of eighty.When he hears that someone has died, he quickly identifies a cause that might have been avoided;the man who died of pleurisy should not have gone out in the cold, and the one who died of dysentery must have eaten the wrong food.Eventually, though, one old man dies for no apparent reason.The doctor can report no lesion, no disease: “He died because he died, that's all.” M.Daron is horrified and asks the man's age.Eighty-nine.He laughs in relief, saying, “whatever it was, it wasn't old age....”

Comment on Shakespeare’s “Sonnet 18”

According the history records,the English Renaissance was a cultural and artistic movement in England dating from the late 15th and early 16th centuries to the early 17th century.During this special period, lots of literature forms grew prosperous.Sonnet was a kind of short lyrics which origined from Italy.During the early period of English Renaissance, it became famous all through the Europe.William Shakespeare, as the most great playwright and poet in England, showed lots of interests on it.As a result, his collection of sonnets were born.Besides, they aroused a big repercussion of the public, sonnet 18 as a typical example.As we all know, Shakespeare`s sonnet is well-constructed.It is divided into two parts, one part concluding twelve lines, the other two.From sonnet 18, we can clearly identify that there are 10 syllables in every line.From the whole poem, it`s easy for us to find its rhyme is “abab, cdcd, efef, gg”.Such regular rhyme makes the whole sonnet 18 easy to read and possessed the sense of rhythm.Because of the thyme, the whole atmosphere is cheerful and lighted-hearted.We reader can easily find the poet is good at analogy.Firstly, Shakespeare described his friend as summer`s day on the purpose of making the comparison between the person and the nature.Secondly, the poet compared his friend as the buds of May.But the poet wrote immediately in the following line that “Summer`s lease hath all too short a date”.This sentence formed anther comparison.Thirdly, Shakespeare used the sun to show his friend.It`s obviously that Shakespeare regard his friend as summer`s day, May, the bud and the sun.The poet uses all these positive ,beautiful things to show his fondness of his friend.However, Shakespeare holds the opinion that his friend is more lovely and more t temperate.All these analogies makes the readers understand poet`s goal vividly.Prising is evidently viewed between the lines.No matter how wonderful the things are the poet doesn`t think they can compare with his friend.From generations to generations, as a result, his friend can be engraved on people`s mind.Shakespeare`s purpose of writing sonnet 18 can be seen in the last line.Sonnet 18 as the most successful example of the sonnet creation, it has much value for us to study deeply.It can be used as the material of studying the development of Renaissance.What`s more, we can see more from the sonnet 18 about the style of the works in the late 15th and early 16th centuries to the early 17th century.
