STEP2：英语文章背诵训练

第一篇：STEP2：英语文章背诵训练

大声、快速、反复地朗读、背诵，不考虑其中的意思就能打开右脑的关闭之门。

--七田真（日本右脑开发研究专家）

下面写的是右脑记忆训练的方法之一。

1、我们在自己学的教材中选出20篇自己感兴趣的英语文章来，每一篇文章都是能读2~5分钟的。然后从你下决心开始练习右脑记忆的这一天起，一天也不要间断，坚持3~5个月。在学习之前，可以先听一段悠扬的古典音乐（或者我发群里的加强记忆力的音乐），声音不要太大，闭上眼睛，全身放松，放下一切杂念，然后沉浸在音乐中，同时深呼吸，（这有一点像中国的气功）。身心放松后，大脑就会变得异常清晰，这时候我们开始学习吧。

把书放好，堵上双耳（堵一只则要堵能听到声音大的那只），然后从头开始读，一直读到最后，声音要响亮，要有感情，就如你正在演讲一样。读的时候速度要快些，但是你不要在大脑中想：读的这一句是什么意思？读的那一句是什么意思？这样的想法统统不要，取而代之的是要在大脑中出现读的那一句的情景，比如你读的是讲“富士山”的文章，那么在你脑中出现的一定要是富士山的样子，而不是某些文字，再说一遍，要图景，不要文字。

2、在每一课读完50遍后，我们把录音机拿出来，反复地放这一课的内容。听20~30分钟，然后再读50遍，接着再听20~30分。如此练习5天，第6天再开始第二课的训练„„听磁带的时候一定要在大脑中想象，比如你听的是旅游英语，那么听的时候你就要想象自己已经到了该处。想象是非常重要的。

只要每天坚持大量地读和听（老追求新的东西则不能改善大脑的记忆能力），只要3个月就能形成新的听觉神经网，从而让学习变得轻松，因为学习其实是一个听觉问题，不能听就不能说。

第一天：THENEWSPAPER报纸

Nowadays the newspaper possesses considerable value.Everybody should read it.It supplies us with a variety of news every day.Ittells us the political situation of the world.If we form the habit of readingthe newspaper, we shall(will)get enough knowledge to cope with ourcircumstances.现今报纸拥有极大的价值，人人都应该看它。它每天提供我们各种各样的消息。它告诉我们世界政治局势。如果我们养成看报的习惯，我们就能得到足够的知识来适应我们的环境。

第二天：MY DAILYLIFE

Though my daily life is extremelymonotonous, I try hard to adapt myself to it.Why? Because I intend to be agood student.I wish to render service to my country.I get up at six o’clock every day.After I wash my face and brush my teeth, I begin to review my lessons.I go toschool at seven o’clock.After school is over, I returnhome.We usually have supper at seven o’clock.Then I begin to do my homework.I want to finish it before I go to bed.虽然，我的日常生活十分单调，但我却竭力设法去适应它。为什么？因为，我打算做一个好学生，希望将来为国家服务。

我每天六点起床、洗脸刷牙后，就开始复习功课，七点钟我就去上学。放学后，我就回家了。我们通常在七点钟吃晚餐，之后我就开始做家庭作业，希望在睡觉前把它做完。

第三天：A MODEL STUDENT模范学生

Do you mind being called a bad student? Of course not.So far as I know, everybody intends to be(become)a model student.However, to be a model student is by no means an easy thing.First, he must do his best to obtain knowledge.A man without sufficient knowledge will not succeed.Secondly, he must remember to improve his health.Only a strong man can do great tasks.Thirdly, he should receive moral education.If his conduct is not good, no one will consider making friends with him.你介意被称为坏学生吗？当然不。就我所知，每个人都打算做模范学生。

然而，做模范学生却不容易。第一，他必须尽力获得知识。一个没有足够知识的人是不会成功的。第二，他必须记住促进健康。只有强壮的人才能做大事。第三，他应该接受道德教育。如果他品行不好，没有人会考虑与他交朋友的。

第四天：HOW TO GET HAPPINESS 如何获得快乐

There is no doubt that happiness is the most precious thing in the world.Without it, life will be empty and meaningless.If you wish to know how to get happiness, you must pay attention to the following two points.First, health is the secret of happiness(the key to happiness).Only a strong man can enjoy the pleasure of life.Secondly, happiness consists in contentment.A man who is dissatisfied with his present condition is always in distress.无疑，快乐是世界上最宝贵的东西。没有它，人生将是空虚而毫无意义的。如果你希望知道如何获得快乐，你必须注意下面两点：

健康是快乐的要诀。唯有身体强壮的人才能享受人生的乐趣。

快乐在于知足。一个不满于现状的人总是处在痛苦之中。

第五天：BOOKS书 籍

As is well known, books teach us to learn life, truth, science and many other useful things.They increase our knowledge, broaden our minds and strengthen our character.In other words, they are our good teachers and wise friends.This is the reason why our parents always encourage us to read more books.Reading is a good thing, but we must pay great attention to the choice of books.It is true that we can derive benefits from good books.However, bad books will do us more harm than good.众所周知，书籍教我们学习人生，真理，科学以及其它许多有用的东西。它们增加我们的知识，扩大我们的心胸并加强我们的品格。换句话说，它们是我们的良师益友。这是为什么我们的父母总是鼓励我们要多读书的理由。

读书是一件好事，但我们必须多加注意书的选择。不错，我们能从好书中获得益处。然而，坏书却对我们有害无益。

第六天：A TRIP TO THE COUNTRY 乡村游记

One Sunday my mother(Mother)had(made)me take my little young brother to a trip to the country.She bade me take good care of him.While we were walking along the road, the sun was shining brightly and the breeze was blowing gently.We saw the beautiful flowers smile(smiling)at us and heard the birds sing(singing)their sweet songs on the trees.The scenery was indeed very pretty(beautiful).When we felt tired, we returned home.We saw Mother(our mother)wait(waiting)for us at the door.一个星期日，我母亲叫我带小弟弟去乡村游玩。她吩咐我要好好照料他。

当我们沿着道路行走的时候，太阳灿烂地照耀着，微风轻轻地吹着。我们看见美丽的花儿对我们微笑着，并听见鸟儿在树上唱着悦耳的歌曲，风景十分美丽。

当我们感到疲倦的时候，我们就回家了。我们看见母亲正在门口等候我们。

第七天：BE PATRIOTIC要 爱 国

It is the duty of every citizen to make the country rich and powerful(To make the country rich and strong is...).In order to accomplish this object one must be patriotic(love his country).I consider this an unchangeable truth.How can a student love his country(be patriotic)? I find my answer very simple and clear.He must study hard and store up knowledge so as to serve his(the)country in the future.If every student can do according to what I said, the country will certainly be rich and powerful.要使国家富强是每个公民的责任。为了达到这一目的，必须爱国。我认为这是一条不变的定理。一个学生如何才能爱国呢？我发觉答复很简单明了。他必须用功读书并积累知识，以便将来服务国家。如果每个学生都能按照我所说的去做，国家一定会富强。

第三篇：英语作文考试背诵文章

『三最背诵短文（1）－我最喜欢的运动』

My favorite Sports

During my secondary school years I often liked to go to the recreation room to play table tennis.Some of my classmates were very good at this game and I often tried to compete with them to improve my skill.In high school I spent many hours playing outdoor sports.I enjoyed team sports like basketball and volleyball.In my senior year I started to practice tennis.Sometimes I would find a partner to play tennis with me, but as yet I am not very good at this sport.Tennis requires great strength in the arms and legs as well as strong concentration on the game.我最喜欢的运动

在我读中学的日子里，我常到活动室打乒乓球。我有些同学精于此道，我常与他们对抗以提高自己的技术。读高中时，我把大量的时间用来做户外运动，我喜欢团队的运动项目，比如篮球和排球。临毕业那年，我开始练乒乓球。有时我可以找到一个同伴陪我打，但是我打得不是很好。打乒乓球不仅需要强壮的臂力和腿部力量，还需要集中精力。

『三最背诵短文（2）－遵守交通规则』

Obeying the Traffic Laws

I am often very afraid to cross-large wide streets.I always go to the traffic light and use the crosswalk, but many times I have been frightened.When the light changes to green I still need to look both directions to check the traffic.On many occasions a speeding motorcycle or bicycle or once a truck drove past the red light and across the pedestrian's path.When I have my bicycle, I get off and walk across the street, but always someone crosses the red light.Once at the intersection near the shopping mall I saw an accident: a taxi had stopped for the light, and another truck came from behind and did not stop.For safety, it is very important for everyone to obey the traffic laws.遵守交通规则

横过大宽马路时，我常会害怕。我总是看着信号灯，走人行横道。仅管这样，我还是被吓着了几次。当信号灯换成绿灯时，我还是要朝两边看一下。很多时候，超速行驶的摩托车或自行车甚至是卡车，都闯红灯穿过人行横道。当我骑车时,我就会下来,推着车子步行过马路, 但总有人闯红灯。一次，在靠近购物广场的那个十字路口，我见到了一起交通事故：一辆出租车停在那儿等红灯，但是它后面的卡车没停。所以，从安全计，每个人都遵守交通规则是很重要的。

『三最背诵短文（3）－冬天』

Winter is very cold and windy in most parts of China.I usually look forward to the Spring Festival and the winter holiday when I can go to the south where the climate is warmer during these holidays.Also, I look forward to seeing my grandparents and my friends.Winter is the time everyone is in a festive mood.In the city, I usually do a lot of reading at home in the winter because of eh cold weather outside.冬天

『三最背诵短文（4）－秋天』

Autumn

For me the autumn or fall starts in September when school starts its new term.I usually do some shopping.The mild weather made it very nice to study outside under the trees in a small park close to my house.I like to look up the leaves changing colors from green to red and yellow, and then brown colors.The park also has many bright fall flowers;sometimes I see a small squirrel coming down from the tree to hunt for food on the ground.On the weekends, I sometimes like to fly my kite.Usually on the street corners you can see street peddlers selling warm baked sweet potatoes.This is a nice time of the year.秋天

我觉得秋天是在9月份新学期幵始的时候来临.我常常要去买一些东西.宜人的天气让我感觉在离家不远的小公园的树下学习是件非常惬意的事.我喜欢抬起头看蓍枝头上的树叶由绿变红,变黄,然后再变褐.公园里还有许多鲜艳的秋花.有时我会见到小松鼠从树上跳到地上觅食.在周末,我有时会去放风筝.在街头的拐角处,常常会有街头小贩在卖烤红薯.秋天是一年中的好时节.『三最背诵短文（5）－夏天』

Summer

Summer is the great season for all sports in the open air.It is the season for football which is often called the national sport because of its popularity.I usually watch television and read the newspaper reports about the football results of the little leagues.During the summer I like to go to the beach often because it is very close to my home.I usually go there during the summer vacation to relax after many months in school in the city.I feel very comfortable with the familiar quiet life of the villagers.夏天

夏天是户外运动最好的季节.这是一个橄榄球的季节,橄榄球由于广受欢迎被称为全民运动.我常常看电视,看报纸,从报道中获得小联盟橄榄球赛的比赛结果.夏日里,我喜欢经常去海滩,因为那里离我家不远.在城里的学校呆了几个月后,暑假我常常去那里放松一下.此处有我很熟悉的村民们的宁静生活,这让我倍感舒适.『三最背诵短文（6）－春天』

Spring

Spring is a delightful season.The temperatures are moderate, and the blooming trees and flowers make the city bright with colors.This is the time when we can begin to wear lighter and more brightly colored clothes and go outdoors more often.Smaller children like to bring their kites out to the spacious square.Also I enjoy going back to the village on this holiday after being in the city for the winter months.春天

春天是个让人欣喜的季节.气温适中,挂满绿叶的树和盛开的花朵给城市增添了明亮的色彩.在这个时节里,我们可以穿上轻便靓丽的衣服经常出门去了.小孩子们则喜欢在广阔的天空中放风筝.在城里呆了一个冬天之后,我也喜欢回到村子里度假.『三最背诵短文（7）－今日青年』

A Youth and His Country

The youth of today will help to shape the future of his country tomorrow.As a good citizen, he should prepare himself in his everyday life as well as in school for the contribution of his talent to his country.He should have ability or skill to work.He should keep well informed and help to inform others about what his country's problems are.He should try to find out and show what he can do for his country.Also he should be physically strong and mentally sound.As a responsible citizen, with his courage, enthusiasm, and love, he will help to make his country one of which all its citizens can be proud.今日青年

今日的青年将肩负他们国家的未来。作为一个好公民，他应该在日常生活中和在学校时一样准备着把自己的聪明才智贡献给国家。他应有一定工作能力和技能，他应该清楚的知道，并且帮助别人了解他们国家的问题所在。他应该知道且显示他能够为他的国家做些什么。同时他应该有强健的体魄和良好的精神状态。作为一个有责任感的公民，他将会用他的勇气、热情和爱心使他的国家成为全民都为之自豪的国度。

『三最背诵短文（8）－我的朋友』

My Friend

John is the most diligent student in our class.He is one of my friends.As a matter of fact, he gets along with his classmates.He might spend just five to ten minutes talking to you once in a long while, but he talks with enthusiasm and energy, and he likes to share his thinking and ideas with you.He is honest;he does not like to waste his time and energy.He never appears sleepy and tired in the classroom.He always hands in homework on time and also does well in his examinations, yet he has time practicing playing football and his violin skill.I admire him.I hope I can be as diligent as he is;John is persistent, attentive, and energetic.我的朋友

John是我们班上最勤奋的学生。他也是我的一个朋友。实际上，他和班上的同学相处的都很融洽。也许过好长时间他才只是花5分钟或10分钟和你聊天，但是他的谈话充满了活力和热情，而且他喜欢和你分享他的思想和想法。他是诚实的，他不会无谓的浪费他的时间和精力。在教室里，他从没有显得困倦或是疲惫。他常常会按时交作业，考试中也会取得好成绩，然而他仍会有时间踢足球和练小提琴。我羡慕他，我希望自己

能象他那样勤奋。John是个执着、专注、充满活力的人。

『三最背诵短文（9）－长大后你想干什么？』

What do You Want to Be When You Grow Up?

This question and another similar question, “Have you decided what you will do after you finish school?” were among the most common questions people often asked me when I was a small child and then a student in school.Choosing the right career is very important.For this reason we should try to find out what our talents and interests are and how we can use them.There are many careers open to each of us.Many persons find their place in government service, and many others may be interested in going into the business world.Teaching, newspaper works, medicine, engineering, science--these and many other fields offer fascinating careers to persons with talent and training.长大后你想干什么？

这个问题和另一个相似的问题“你决定完成学业之后做什幺了吗？”是我小时候和在学校时人们问得最多的一个问题。选择一个适当的职业是非常重要的。因此，我们必需找出自己的天赋和兴趣所在并且要知道如何加以利用。我们每个人都面临着许多职业选择。一些人在政府机构找到了他们的位置，而另一些人则可能喜欢在商界驰骋。教育、新闻、医药、工程、科学等和其它许多行业给都有才能的人提供了丰富的就业机会。

『三最背诵短文（10）－我的职业生涯』

My Career Plan

During my high school years, I have found chemistry, physics, and mathematics interesting.Actually, I am interested in many subjects such as history, and English.But somehow I cannot remember the historical events or the facts in detail.I cannot remember English words well, either.On the other hand, chemistry, physics, and mathematics are easy for me because they seem logical to me.After considering my interests and talents I feel that science or engineering might be the best choice for my career.I would like to study science or engineering in college.After graduation from college I hop to go for higher education overseas.Eventually I would like to return to school to teach.This is my career plan.我的职业生涯

在我高中的时代，我发现我对化学、物理和数学很感兴趣。事实上，我觉得其他的学科也很有吸引力，如：历史、英语。但是不知何故我不能详细记住历史事件，也不能很好地记住英语单词。相反，化学、物理和数学却容易些因为它们有逻辑性。鉴于我的兴趣所致我感觉到理科或者工科是我未来职业的最好选择。我更愿意在大学里学理科或工科。大学毕业后我希望到海外去继续深造。最后我将回到学校教书。这就是我的事业规划。

『三最背诵短文（11）－明智的消费』

Intelligent Consumerism

Wise consumers read magazine advertisements and watch TV commercials, but they do this with one advantage: knowledge of the psychology behind the ads.In other words, well-informed consumers watch for information and check for misinformation.They ask themselves questions: Is the advertiser hiding something in small print at the bottom of the page? Is there any real information in the commercial, or is the advertiser simply showing an attractive image? Is this product more expensive than it should be because it has a famous name? With the answers to these questions, consumers can make a wise choice.明智的消费

聪明的消费者看杂志广告，看电视广告，但他们这么做只有一个目的，就是要了解藏在广告背后的心理状态。换句话说，信息灵通的消费者会留心各种资讯，也会查证各种有误导作用的谣传。他们会问自己：广告商是不是在边角的小字里藏着点什么？广告里是否有真实内容，或者广告商纯粹只提供诱人的画面？是否因为是名牌，产品就卖得更贵？这些答案会帮助消费者做出明智的选择。

第四篇：英美经典文章背诵

Four Passages From the Dramatic Writings of Shakespeare 莎士比亚戏剧精选四段(1)Twelfth Night II.iv.103-117 [DUKE OF ILLYRIA] What dost thou know? [VIOLA] Too well what love women to men may owe.In faith, they are as true of heart as we.My father had a daughter loved a man As it might be perhaps, were I a woman, I should your lordship.[DUKE OF ILLYRIA] And what's her history? [VIOLA] A blank, my lord.She never told her love，But let concealment, like a worm i'th'bud，Feed on her damask cheek.She pined in thought;And, with a green and yellow melancholy, She sat like Patience on a monument, Smiling at grief.Was not this love indeed? We men may say more, swear more;but indeed Our shows are more than will;for still we prove Much in our vows but little in our love.男人的爱与女人的爱 [伊利里亚公爵] 您深知的是什么? [薇奥拉] 深知女人可以如何热爱男人。真的，她们象我们一样真心。当年我爹有个女儿爱上个郎，正如，假如我是女的，也许我会爱上爵爷您。[伊利里亚公爵] 结果她的遭遇呢? [薇奥拉] 是片空白。她没有透露她的爱意，却让这秘密，象蓓蕾中的害虫，吃她淡红的面颊来养生。哀思中憔悴了，带着又绿又黄的忧郁，她如墓碑般有耐性，坐着，看着悲伤微笑。那还不是真爱吗? 我们男的说更多话、发更多誓；实际上却虚饰多于真情； 1

常见誓言夸张，情意有限。【作者简介】

威廉莎士比亚,英国历史上，乃至世界历史上最伟大的戏剧大师，他于1564年出生于英国中部的斯特拉夫镇.十三四岁时因家庭破产而辍学。之后，他先后当过士兵、教师、剧院的杂役、演员和剧团股东。传说他出生的日期为四月二十三日。莎士比亚的语言异常凝美，内涵也无比丰富。

Why, How Know You That I Am in Love? [SPEED]

Marry, by these special marks: first, you have learned, like Sir Proteus,to wreathe your arms like a malcontent, to relish a love-song like a robin-red-breast, to walk alone like one that had the pestilence, to sign like a schoolboy that had lost his A B C, to weep like a young wench that had buried her grandam, to fast like one that takes diet, to watch like one that fears robbing, to speak puling like a beggar at Hallowmas.You were wont, when you laughed, to crow like a cock;when you walked, to walk like one of the lions;When you fasted, it was presently after dinner;when you looked sadly, it was for want of money.And now you are metamorphosed with a mistress, that when I look on you, I can hardly think you my master.哟，您怎知我患了相思病? [史比德]

哎呀，就是从这些特殊的迹象嘛：首先，你学会了，与普洛帝斯少爷 一样，像个不满现状的人般盘着双臂；学会了象只知更鸟般唱着情歌；学会了独来独往，象个染了瘟疫的人；学会了叹息，象个丢了启蒙课本的学生哥儿；学会了哭泣，象埋葬了老奶奶的小姑娘；学会了节食，象需要节制饮食的人；学会了废寝，象担心盗窃的人；学会了啼哭着说话，象万圣节的叫化子。原来嘛，您大笑起来，象雄鸡打鸣儿；走起路来象狮子；刚吃饱才会禁食；没钱才会没精打采。现在嘛，有了心上人您也全变了，使得我看着您，却险些儿想不起您是我的主子。Love Song How use doth breed a habit in a man!This shadowy desert, unfrequented woods, I better brook than flourishing peopled towns.Here can I sit alone, unseen of any，And to the nightingale抯 complaining notes Tune my distresses and record my woes.O thou that dost inhabit in my breast, Leave not the mansion so long tenantless, Lest, growing ruinous, the building fall And leave no memory of what it was.情 歌

人总会习与性成哩!棗

这荫翳无人之地、荒僻的丛箐，我乐意接受，甚于熙攘的都城。这里我可以单个儿坐着，都无人见，陪着那夜莺的哀怨歌声，咏出我的苦恼，唱出我的悲愁。啊，您这栖身在我胸怀中的人儿，2 不要让这房子这么长久空旷，惟恐它破坏了会倒下，使得无人记起它昔日的光华。【注释】

A Midsummer Night's Dream The lunatic, the lover, and the poet Are of imagination all compact.One sees more devils than vast hell can hold: That is the madman.The lover, all as frantic, Sees Helen's beauty in a brow of Egypt.The poet's eye, in a fine frenzy rolling, Doth glance from heaven to earth, from earth to heaven;And as imagination bodies forth The forms of things unknown, the poet's pen Turns them to shapes, and gives to airy nothing A local habitation and a name.Such tricks hath strong imagination That, if it would but apprehend some joy, It comprehends some bringer of that joy, Or in the night, imagining some fear, How easy is a bush supposed a bear!《仲夏夜之梦》[忒修斯] 疯子、情人、墨客，全都是幻想造的。

那人见的鬼，无垠的地狱也装不下： 那就是疯子。情人，极度狂乱，在黑姑娘的脸上，他看见海伦的面相。诗人的眼睛，激扬一转，就扫视了人间天上，天上人间； 正如幻想人不可思议的事物的 具体呈现，诗人的笔管 给它们形状，使如烟的无，化作栖身有地的有。

丰富的幻想，会耍这些戏法，所以每想起什么欢乐，就替欢乐补上个原因；

有时在夜里，幻想着什么惶恐，好容易把一棵矮树看作人熊!0 Love

Her image accompanied me even in places the most hostile to ro mance.On Saturday evenings when my aunt went marketing I had to go to carry some of the parcels.We walked through the flaring streets, jostled by drunken men and bargaining women, amid the curses of laborers, the shrill litanies of shop-boys who stood on guard by the barrels of pigs cheeks, the nasal chanting of streetsingers, who sang a come-all-you about O扗onovan Rosa, or a ballad about the troubles in our native land.These noises converged in a single sensation of life for me: I imagined that I bore my chalice safely through a throng of foes.Her name sprang to my lips at moments in strange prayers and praises which I myself did not understand.My eyes were often full of tears(I could not tell why)and at times a flood from my heart seemed to pour itself out into my bosom.I thought little of the footer.I did not know whether I would ever speak to her or not or, if I spoke to her, how I could tell her of my confused adoration.Buttery body was like a harp and her words and gestures were like fingers running upon the wires.One evening I went into the back drawing-room in which the priest had died.It was a dark rainy evening and there was no sound in the house.Through one of the broken panes I heard the rain impinge upon the earth, the fine incessant needles of water playing in the sodden beds.Some distant lamp or lighted window gleamed below me.I was thankful that I could see so little.All my senses seemed to desire to veil themselves and, feeling that I was about to slip from them, I pressed the palms of my hands together until they trembled, murmuring: 揙 love!O love!many times.即使是在最不可能勾起浪漫之情的境地里，她的形象也始终陪伴着我。星期六晚上，我婶婶要上街去买东西，我得跟着去帮她拿购买的物品，灯火通明的大街上熙熙攘攘，我和婶婶在醉汉和讨价还价的妇人们中间挤来挤去。苦力们在咒骂着；年轻的店员们站在装着猪头肉的木桶边上，一边看护着货物，一边尖声地招揽生意；街头的歌手们反复单调地哼着一首有关“奥唐纳凡·萝莎”的，叫做“你们都来吧”的歌曲，或者唱根据我们当地人的忧愁而编成的民歌；在我心目中，这各色各样的声响汇成了一股生活的激情：我想象着自己捧着圣餐酒杯，安全通过了一大群敌人的包围。有时候，我在祈祷时连自己也不知道在念些什么，可是她的名字却跳到了嘴边。泪水常常充满我的眼眶(我也说不出是何原故)。有时，我内心一阵激动，泪水如潮，似乎从心脏涌流遍了整个胸膛。我很少想到未来，也不知道是否会与她交谈；即使与她交谈，我又如何向她倾吐我对她敬慕的复杂矛盾的心情呢?然而，我的身子仿佛是一把竖琴，她的言行举止就象是手指，拨动着我的心弦。

一天傍晚，我来到了教士去世的那间后客厅。这是一个阴雨绵绵、漆黑的夜晚。整幢房子一片寂静。透过一块破碎的窗玻璃，传来了雨水着地的声响。连绵的细雨犹如行行绣针，洒向湿透的花圃。低头望去，远处不知是路灯还是住家的灯火在闪烁着光芒。看不到什么东西反使我感到欣慰。我的全部感官似乎都愿与外界隔绝，便把手掌紧合在一起，直到双手微微颤动起来，嘴里多次喃喃念着：“啊，爱情!啊，爱情!” 【作者简介】

适合高中生背诵的优美英语文章

A Chinese philosopher, Feng Youlan, once said China is an old country with a new life.To us, that means this country with a long, long history is on its course of modernization.I am encouraged every time I think of it.I do believe China really has a bright future, if it seeks this opportunity to continue building a road to the world.I see the future as a huge project in which I can play an important role.China needs more and better roads to the rest of the world.I feel needed.I feel inspired.I'm ready.---Excerpt from Li Shu's speech

(全国英语演讲比赛第二届冠军:李舒,四川大学,1997年)

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 farmers are quietly nourishing our Yellow River, just as the river has nourished them.---Excerpt from Cai Li's speech(全国英语演讲比赛第四届冠军:蔡力,南京大学,1999年)

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.---Excerpt from Qi Yue's speech

(全国英语演讲比赛第六届冠军:戚悦,北京语言文化大学,2001年)The Force of Habits

Habits, whether good or bad, are gradually formed.The more we do a thing, 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.”

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 honest, 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.TV---A Blessing or a Curse?

As TV enters more and more families, people begin to wonder about its advantages and disadvantages.Some believe it is a blessing, 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 various ages 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 towards TV all depends on oneself.People should choose those programs, which are useful, and can bring to them the sense of beauty.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.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).Language skills will develop with your constant 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 meanings of the new words.But you should have one thing 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.On Learning

Learning is one’s own business, which cannot rely on others.As we know, learning is a process of accumulating knowledge.It is one’s life-long task, which cannot be accomplished in one move.A successful learner is an independent one who has both an indomitable(unyielding)will and amazing endurance.He will try to discover his own way of learning.Instead of waiting for the teacher’s help, he will make efforts to create favorable conditions on his own initiative.It will certainly be of great help, if there is good environment, sufficient books and equipment, as well as instructions from teacher and beneficial friends.But even if one has got all these favorable conditions, one cannot be sure to succeed in learning.So the most important factor in learning consists in one’s own effort.To learn is rather a painstaking and persevering business.Many a man is a failure because he cannot bear such indispensable hardships.Unremitting(never stopping)efforts can compensate for the lack of talents and thus enable one to get considerable progress in learning.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.
