Love grows in heart 爱在心里成长
Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one
so that when we finally meet the right person,we will know how to be grateful for that gift.When the door of happiness closes, another opens,but often times we look so long at the closed door that we don't see the one which has been opened for us.The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had.It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives.Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they'll love you back!
Don't expect love in return;just wait for it to grow in their heart but if it doesn't, be content it grew in yours.It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone, but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.Don't go for looks;they can deceive.Don't go for wealth;even that fades away.Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright.Find the one that makes your heart smile.或许是上帝的安排,在最终找到知音之前,我们总要遇到一些不尽如意的人,只有这样,我们才能对知音这份礼物充满感激之情。
一道幸福之门关闭时,另一扇就会打开。我们经常太多太多地只看见关闭的门,而对开启的门却熟视无睹。
也许最好的朋友就是那些你坐在门廊下,看到的来回过往的行人。你与他们一言未语,走开时却感到好像有过最好的交谈。
无疑,一件东西只有失去时,我们才会懂得其真正的价值。同样,一件东西在得到之前,我们并没有意识到它的缺少。
将爱全部付出,并不能确保一定会得到回报。别指望爱有什么回报,耐心地等待它在你所爱的人的心里生根发芽,成长壮大。即使不会那样,也要感到满足,相信爱在自己心里成长。迷恋一个人只需要一分钟,喜欢一个人需要一个小时,爱上一个人需要一天,而忘记一个人则需要一辈子的时间。不要追求华丽的外表,外表常常具有欺骗性。不要追求万贯家产,财富也会散尽。寻找那个可以使你微笑的人,只有微笑才能使黑暗的日子变得光明。寻找那个能够使你的心灵微笑的人。
A lesson of life 生活的一课
“everything happens for the best,”my mother said whenever I faced disappointment.“If you can carry on, one day something good will happen.And you'll realize that it wouldn't have happened if not for that previous disappointment.”
Mother was right, as I discovered after graduating from college in 1932.I had decided to try for a job in radio, then work my way up to sports announcer.I hitchhiked to Chicago and knocked on the door of every station-and got turned down every time.In one studio, a kind lady told me that big stations couldn't risk hiring inexperienced person-“Go out in the sticks and find a small station that'll give you a chance,”she said.I thumbed home to Dixon, Illinois.While them was no radio-announcing jobs in Dixon, my father sad Montgomery Ward had opened a store and wanted a local athlete to manage its sports
department.Since Dixon was where I had played high school football, I applied.The job sounded just right for me.But I wasn't hired.My disappointment must have shown.”Everything happens for the best,“ Mom reminded me.Dad offered me the car to job hunt.I tried WOC Radio in Davenport, Iowa.The program director, a wonderful Scotsman named Peter MacArthur, told me they had already hired an announcer.As I left his office, my frustration boiled over.I asked aloud ”How can a fellow get to be a sport announcer if he can't get a job in a radio station?“
I was waiting for the elevator when I heard MacArthur calling, ”What was that you said about sports? Do you know anything about football?“Then he stood me before a microphone and asked me to broadcast an imaginary game.On my way home, as I have many times since, I thought of my mother's words: ”if you carry on, one day something good will happen.Something wouldn't have happened if not for that previous disappointment“ I often wonder what direction my life might have taken if I’d gotten the job at Montgomery Ward.生活的一课
每当我遇到挫折时,母亲就会说:”一切都会好的。如果你坚持下去,总有一天会有好事发生。你会认识到,如果没有以前的挫折就不会有现在的一切。“
母亲是对的,发现这个是在1932年,我刚从大学毕业。我已决定试着在电台找个事儿做,然后争取做体育节目的播音员。我搭便车到了芝加哥,挨个电台地敲门推销自己——但每次都被拒绝了。
在一个播音室里,一位好心的女士告诉我,大的广播电台是不会冒险雇用没经验的新手的。”去乡下找一家给你机会的小电台吧,“她说。
我搭车来到我的家乡,那是伊利诺斯州的迪克森。在迪克森当时还没有电台播音员这样的工作,父亲说,蒙哥马利•沃德开了一家新商店,想雇请一个本地的运动员管理店里的体育部。我中学时曾在迪克森打过橄榄球,出于这个原因我去申请了这份工作。工作听起来挺适合我的,但是我没被聘用。
我的沮丧心情一定表现出来了。”一切总会好的,“母亲提醒我说。爸爸给我买了一辆汽车找工作用。我试着到爱荷华州达文波特的woc电台去求职。那里的电台节目总监是一个很棒的苏格兰人,名叫彼得•麦克阿瑟,他告诉我他们已经雇到播音员了。
离开他办公室时,我的挫折感达到了极点。我大声地说:”一个连在电台都找不到工作的家伙又怎么能成为体育节目的播映员呢?
等电梯时,我听到麦克阿瑟喊道:“你说什么体育?你懂橄榄球吗?”接着他让我站到麦克风前面,请我解说一场想象中的比赛。
在回家的路上——以后也有很多次的,我思考着母亲的那句话:“如果你坚持下去,总要一天会有好事发生。如果没有以前的挫折,就不会有现在的一切。”我常想,如果当年我得到蒙哥马利•沃德的那份工作,我的人生之路又会怎样走呢?
A psalm of life
Tell me not in mournful numbers,Life is but an empty dream!
For the soul is dead that slumbers
And things are not what they seem.Life is real!Life is earnest!
And the grave is not its goal;
Dust thou art, to dust returnest,Was not spoken of the soul.Not enjoyment, and not sorrow,Is our destined and our way;
But to act,That much tomorrow
Find us farther than today.Art is long, and time is fleeting,And our hearts, though stout and brave.Still, like muffled drums, are beating
Funeral marches to the grave.In the world's broad field of battle,In the bivouac of Life,Be not like dumb, driven cattle!
Be a hero in the strife!
Trust no future, howe'er pleasant!
Let the dead Past bury its dead!
Act, act in the living Present!
Heart within, and God o'erhead!
Lives of great men all remind us
We can make our lives sublime,And departing leave behind us
Footprints on the sands of time.Footprints that perhaps another,Sailing o'er life solemn main,A forlorn and shipwrecked brother,Seeing, shall take heart again.Let us, then, be up and doing,With a heart for any fate;
Still achieving, still pursuing
Learn to labour and to wait.

The US Commerce Departmen(t 商务部)reports in its first estimate of economic performance for the January to March quarter, that the US economy contracted at a bigger than forecasted annual rate—6.1 percent.This is the second three month period in which the economy shrank at a more than six percent annual rate.The rate of decline was more than financial markets had expected.But despite that, stock prices rallied(恢复)Wednesday as analysts found positive elements to the otherwise grim(糟糕的)report.These included a slight increase in consumer spending and a replenishment(补充)of business inventories.The International Monetary Fund(国际货币基金组织)last week forecast that the US economy would contract by 2.8 percent this year, after expanding by about one percent last year.The US recession, which began in December 2007, is the most severe since the Second World War.背景导读
美国商务部2009 年4 月29 日表示,美国第一季度GDP 季度调整后年降6.1%,经济学家预期值为下降4.6%。美国第一季度经济下滑几乎没有改善,企业削减开支和库存,表明衰退并未如预期那样放缓。
Indications that unemployment continues to rise is grim news for leaders heading to the G-20 summit(20 国集团峰会)in the United States next week.The Paris-based Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development(经济合作与发展组织)reports unemployment reached its highest level among industrialized nations of 8.5 percent in July.OECD unemployment division chief Stephan Scarpetta says the number of jobless among the OECD’s 30 member countries is expected to climb even higher next year, to nearly 10 percent.That translates into 57 million people out of work.The United States, Spain and Ireland are among those countries with the fastest rising unemployment.All three were affected by the collapse of high housing prices.The damage spread to other sectors of the economy.Scarpetta says young people are among the hardest hit.In Spain, for example, more than one in three young workers are unemployed.背景导读
经济合作与发展组织2009 年9 月份报告说,工业化国家的失业率仍在增加,而且有可能在明年达到近10%的历史最高水平,尽管不断有报道说,很多工业化国家正在走出几十年来最严重的经济危机。各国政府虽然扩大和延长了失业补贴的发放,并且提供了更多的就业咨询和培训,但是这些措施并没有缓解失业人口的增加。

(披着羊皮的狼)
A wolf wanted to eat the sheep, but he was afraid of the vigilant
shepherd and his dogs.One day the wolf found the skin of a sheep.He put it on and walked among the sheep.A lamb thought that the

with the money I gave you yesterday?”

英语经典短文
一、How to use an English-Chinese dictionary? When you are reading something in English, you may often come across a new word.What’s the best way to know it? You may look it up in an English-Chinese dictionary.It will tell you a lot about the word: the pronunciation, the Chinese meaning and also how to use this word.But how can you know where the word is in thousands of English words? How to find it in the dictionary both quickly and correctly? First, all the English words are arranged in the alphabetical order.In the dictionary you can first see the words beginning with the Ietter A, then B,C,D,E…That means if there are two words “desert”and “pull”,” “desert”will be certainly before“pull”.Then if there,are two words both beginning with the same letter,you may look at the second letter.Then the third, the fourth…For example, “pardon”is before “plough”, “judge”is before “just”,etc.Do you understand how to look up a word in a dictionary? The dictionary will be your good friend,I hope you’ll use it as often as possible in your English learning.二、Travel by bike
If you go to visit London, you’ll see a lot of buses and cars on the road.You’ll also see a lot of bikes because more people travel by bike.There are a lot of reasons for this.First, it is very cheap to buy a bike, and it is quick, too.You often have to wait for a bus for half an hour.When the bus comes, there are so many other buses and cars on the roads that the bus moves very slowly.I traveled to work by bus for about four years.I often arrived at work late and tired.Then one day, about two years ago, a friend of mine said, “ I go to work by bike.Why don’t we travel together?”
“Because my bike is old.” I answered, “And there are so many buses and cars on the roads.I’ll feel frightened
“You needn’t feel frightened!” said my friend.“If you follow me and we ride slowly, you’ll be fine.”
The next day I brought myself a new bike.Although we went slowly, we arrived ai work quickly.It took 40 minutes to go to work by bus, but only half an hour by bike!Now I don’t feel afraid.I love going go work by bike.I take a different road every day.I arrived at work very quickly.I’ve got a little more money now, and more important, I feel healthy.Many people think in the same way as I do.That’s why you see a lot of bikes on the road.Next year you’ll see more, I am sure.Perhaps in the future we will have roads for bikes only.I hope so.三、American food habits
Generally speaking, American food is rather bland and inspired.Salads are popular and are served all the year round.Many American people are “calorie” conscious.This is evident in menus offering “low calorie” or “weight watchers” meals.In markets one can find “No Cal” drinks(meaning without calories)such as ginger ale or cola.“Diet” foods without sugar or salt are also available in food stores.Waiters in American restaurants tend to assume that everyone drinks coffee.If a waiter suddenly asks “Now or later?” what he means is “Do you want coffee with your meal now or later?” Many American drinks
Coffee with their meal.When dining out in the US we can ask for tea, milk,coke,bear and so on, if we prefer these to coffee, American restaurants cannot serve beer, wine, or liquor unless they are licensed to do so.The main course in American meals is usually meat, fowl, or fish, but rarely is more than one of these

七、Insects We often think of insects as being harmful.This is not quite true.Many insects are harmful.For example, flies carry disease.Other insects carry disease, too.Farmers are at war with insects most of the time.Hungry insects kill plants in the fields.Farmers spray the fields to get rid of these insects.Does this mean that all insects are harmful? No.Many are of great help to man.Bees make honey.Without bees and other insects, many trees would have no fruit.Silkworms make silk.Some insects eat other insects that kill fruit trees.Have you ever seen a praying mantis? People who do not know about the praying mantis sometimes kill it.They think it is harmful.But this insect is of great help to farmers and gardeners.It eats insects that kill plants.Long ago, many people thought of most insects as enemies.Today, we know the difference between harmful insects and those that help us.八、Special language Can you see the rabbit’s tail? When a rabbit sees something dangerous, it runs away.Its tail is white and moves up and down as it runs.Other rabbits see the tail moving, and they run, too.They know that there is something danger.The rabbit has told them something without making a sound.It has given them a signal.Many other animals use this kind of language.When a cobra is angry, it raises its hood and makes itself look fierce.This warns other animals.When a bee has found some food, it goes back to its home.It cannot tell the other bees where the food is by speaking to them, but it does a little dance in the air.This tells the others where the food is.Some animals say things by making sounds.Sometimes we humans speak in the same way.But we have something that no animal has-a large number of words.No animal has the wonderful power of language.People living in different countries make different kinds of words.Today there are about fifteen hundred different languages in the world.The words you know are called your vocabulary.You should try to make your vocabulary bigger.Read as many books as you can.When you meet a new word, find it in your dictionary.Your dictionary is your most useful book.九、A good idea Mike and Tom had studied in the same class.After they had finished middle school, Mike went to college but Tom found work in a factory.The young man likes smoking very much and it’s bad for his health.Now he coughs day and night and he’s too weak to work.So he was sent away.He spent all money on smoking and sometimes he has little food to eat.Once Tom met Mike in the street.Mike finished college and began to work in a post office and was paid much.When Tom knew about it, he asked Mike to lend two hundred dollars to him.Mike found it was difficult to refuse and agreed.A year later Mike was going go marry and needed a lot of money.He told Tom about it.Tom said he would pay off the debt the next month.But three months passed and Tom did not pay off his debt.And one day Mike went to his house again and said, “Haven’t you found any ideas to pay off your debt?”
“Yes, I have.” Answered Tom.“ If you help me, I’ll pay off my debt at once.” “what’s it?”
“Please lend me five hundred dollars again.” Said the man.“I shall pay you back two hundred dollars, and I’ll pay Mr.White back two hundred dollars, and I’ll spend one hundred dollars on some bread and a newer coat.上海宝茁教育济南学习中心
