YOUTH
By Samuel Ullman 塞繆爾·厄爾曼
Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not amatter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it is a matter of thewill, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is thefreshness of the deep springs of life.
Youth means a tempera-mental predominance of courage over timidity,of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease. This often existsin a man of 60 more than a boy of 20. Nobody grows old merely by anumber of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals.
Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles thesoul. Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the springback to st.
Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being』s heart the lure ofwonder, the unfailing childlike appetite of what』s next and the joy ofthe game of living. In the center of your heart and my heart there is awireless
station: so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer,courage and power from men and from the Infinite, so long are you young.
When the aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows ofcynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old, even at 20,but as long as your aerials are up, to catch waves of optimism, thereis hope you may die young at 80.

A group of frogs was traveling through the woods and two of themfell into a deep pit. Immediately, all the other frogs in the groupgathered around the pit and watched as the imprisoned frogs tried tojump out. The frogs on top could see that the pit was very deep and itlooked as if there was no way out, so they started yelling at the twofrogs in the pit to give up. "The pit is too deep. You're as good asdead," the chorus of frogs said. When the trapped frogs kept trying,the crowd yelled louder, "Give up. You're as good as dead." After awhile, one of the exhausted frogs took heed to what the others weresaying, and fell down and died.
But amazingly, the second frog kept jumping as hard as she coulddespite the negative remarks of those that kept yelling at her toaccept the inevitable and just die. Finally, with one valiant leap, shemade it out of the pit!
This amazing result occurred because the second frog was deaf annable to hear what the others had been saying. She thought they hadbeen cheering her on the entire time they were yelling! What she hadmistakenly perceived as encouragement inspired her to try harder andsucceed against all odds. And that made all the difference!
With a positive mindset, and being deaf to others' opinions, thesecond frog made use of such negativity to overcome obstacles and reachher goals by using it as encouragement, instead of being influenced byothers like the first frog, who failed to develop her potential tostrive for survival. Thus, when we surmount others' criticism, ridiculeor cynical comments, we can do anything we set our minds to, just asthe second frog did. But, if we are not deaf like this frog, who couldnot be influenced by others e to a physical condition, we need the Wisdom to guide us to the proper way, so as not to be blindly guided byworldly opinion.

⑶ 英語美文小短文欣賞
英語美文小短文是課堂英語學習的補充閱讀材料，能讓學生在課後自行閱讀和背誦，這樣有利於學生擴充課外知識，培養語感和興趣。這些英語短文往往都蘊含著積極向上的主題，使學生感受到英語的魅力和閱讀的快樂，從而激發對英語的學習興趣以及獲得情感上的升華。那麼，如何欣賞英語美文小短文呢？
一、英語美文小短文中的英語知識
英語美文的篇幅都是很短小精煉的，由學生所學過的基礎的短句、句子所構成，句式成分簡單清晰，易於學生的理解。當學生在閱讀英語美文的時候，可以一邊進行英語知識的復習，一邊進行英語知識的積累和延伸。經常會出現同一個知識點在課本中和在美文中的運用有所不同，這樣來說，十分有利於學生在學習英語時培養出舉一反三的發散性思維能力。
二、英語美文小短文中的寫作技巧
英語美文“麻雀雖小”，但是它的“五臟俱全”，小編這里指的就是英語美文的結構整體上是很完整的。短文的好處就是能夠把一篇陌生的英語文章的結構清晰地展現在學生的面前，不會因為篇幅過長而使得學生感到厭倦。文中的開頭、主要內容、結尾段落劃分十分清楚，即使是段落中間每一句話也是層層遞進，有邏輯關系的，而且寫作時運用的語法也很簡單、片語准確，為學生模仿練習英語寫作提供了模板和技巧，帶給學生寫作形式上的點撥。

The Importance of Keeping Optimistic
Honourable judges, ladies and gentlemen,
Good afternoon! Today I would like to talk about the importance of
keeping optimistic. When we encounter difficulties in life, we notice that
some of us choose to bury their heads in the sand. Unfortunately, however,
this attitude will do you no good, because if you will have no courage
even to face them, how can you conquer them? Thus, be optimistic, ladies
and gentlemen, as it can give you confidence and help you see yourself
through the hard times, just as Winston Churchill once said, 「An optimist
sees an opportunity in every calamity; a pessimist sees a calamity in
every opportunity.」
Ladies and Gentlemen, keeping optimistic, you will be able to realize,
in spite of some hardship, there』s always hope waiting for you, which will
lead you to the ultimate success. Historically as well as currently, there
are too many optimists of this kind to enumerate. You see, Thomas Edison
is optimistic; if not, the light of hope in his heart could not illuminate
the whole world. Alfred Nobel is optimistic; if not, the explosives and
the prestigious Nobel Prize would not have come into being. And Lance
Armstrong is also optimistic; if not, the devil of cancer would have
devoured his life and the world would not see a 5-time winner of the Tour
De France.
A rose may be beautiful, or maybe not; that depends on your attitude
only, and so does success, so does life. Hindrances and difficulties do
exist, but if you are optimistic, then they are only episodes on your long
way to the throne of success; they are more bridges than obstacles! Now I
prefer to end my speech with the great British poet Shelley』s lines: 「If
winter comes, can spring be far behind?」 Thank you!
保持樂觀的重要性
尊敬的評委、女士們、先生們：
下午好！今天我想談一談保持樂觀的重要性。
我們注意到，當在生活中遇到困難時，我們中的有些人選擇逃避它們。但令人遺憾的是，這樣的態度對你沒有任何好處，因為如果你連面對它們的勇氣都沒有的話，你怎麼去征服它們呢？因此，樂觀起來吧，女士們、先生們，因為它會帶給你信心，幫助你渡過難關。正如溫斯頓·丘吉爾所說，「樂觀者在每次災難中都看到機遇；悲觀者在每次機遇中都看到災難」。
女士們，先生們，困難是存在的，但如果你保持樂觀，你就會意識到永遠有希望在等著你，它會把你領向最終的成功。不管是歷史上還是現實中，這樣的樂觀者總是不勝枚舉。你看，托馬斯·愛迪生是樂觀的，如果不是的話，他心中那希望的明燈就不能照亮整個世界；阿爾弗雷德·諾貝爾是樂觀的，如果不是的話，那炸葯和享有很高聲望的諾貝爾獎就不會誕生；蘭斯·阿姆斯特朗也是樂觀的，如果不是的話，那癌症的病魔早已吞噬了他的生命，這個世界就會少了一位五屆環法自行車賽冠軍得主.
玫瑰花可能很美，也可能不美，這，僅僅取決於你的態度；而成功也如此，人生也如此。困難和阻礙的確存在，但是如果你很樂觀的話，那它們就僅僅是我們通向勝利之冠的漫長道路上的小插曲；與其說它們是障礙，不如說它們是橋梁！此刻，我想以偉大的英國詩人雪萊的一句詩來作為我的結尾：「冬天來了，春天還會遠嗎?」

Once upon a time, a child was ready to be born. So he asked God,

⑻ 關於提高英語閱讀的英語文章(急!!!)
In spite of 「endless talk of difference，」American society is an amazing machine for homogenizing people. There is 「the democratizing uniformity of dress and discourse， and the casualness and absence of consumption 「launched by the 19th——century department stores that offered 「vast arrays of goods in an elegant atmosphere. Instead of intimate shops catering to a knowledgeable elite. 「these were stores 「anyone could enter， regardless of class or background. This turned shopping into a public and democratic act. 「The mass media， advertising and sports are other forces for homogenization. Immigrants are quickly fitting into this common culture， which may not be altogether elevating but is hardly poisonous. Writing for the National Immigration Forum， Gregory Rodriguez reports that today』s immigration is neither at unprecedented level nor resistant to assimilation. In 1998 immigrants were 9.8 percent of population； in 1900， 13.6 percent .In the 10 years prior to 1990， 3.1 immigrants arrived for every 1，000 residents； in the 10years prior to 1890， 9.2 for every 1，000. Now， consider three indices of assimilation–language， home ownership and intermarriage.
The 1990 Census revealed that 「a majority of immigrants from each of the fifteen most common countries of origin spoke English『well』or『very well』after ten years of residence. 「The children of immigrants tend to be bilingual and proficient in English. 「By the third generation， the original language is lost in the majority of immigrant families. 「Hence the description of America as a「graveyard」for languages. By 1996 foreign–born immigrants who had arrived before 1970 had a homeownership rate of 75.6 percent， higher than the 69.8 percent rate among native-born Americans.
Foreign-born Asians and Hispanics 「have higher rates of intermarriage than do U.S–born whites and blacks. 「By the third generation， one third of Hispanic women are married to non-Hispanics， and 41 percent of Asian–American women are married to non-Asians.
Rodriguez notes that children in remote villages around the world are fans of superstars like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Garth Brooks， yet 「some Americans fear that immigrant living within the United States remain somehow immune to the nation』s assimilative power.」
Are there divisive issues and pockets of seething anger in America？ Indeed. It is big enough to have a bit of everything. But particularly when viewed against America『s turbulent past， today』s social inces hardly suggest a dark and deteriorating social environment.
1.The word 「homogenizing」（Line 2， Paragraph 1） most probably means
[A] identifying
[B] associating
[C] assimilating
[D] monopolizing
2. According to the author， the department stores of the 19th century
[A] played a role in the spread of popular culture.

3.The text suggests that immigrants now in the U.S.
[A] are resistant to homogenization.
[B] exert a great influence on American culture.
[C] are hardly a threat to the common culture.
[D] constitute the majority of the population.
4. Why are Arnold Schwarzenegger and Garth Brooks mentioned in Paragraph 5？
[A] To prove their popularity around the world.
[B] To reveal the public『s fear of immigrants.
[C] To give examples of successful immigrants.
[D] To show the powerful influence of American culture.
5.In the author』s opinion， the absorption of immigrants into American society is
[A] rewarding.
[B] successful.
[C] fruitless.
[D] harmful.

Wonderful Teacher
With a special gift for learning
And with a heart that deeply cares,
You add a lot of love
To everything you share,
And even though
You mean a lot,
You'll never know how much,
For you helped
To change the world
Through every life you touched.
You sparked the creativity
In the students whom you taught,
And helped them strive for goals
That could not be bought,
You are such a special teacher
That no words can truly tell
However much you're valued
For the work you do so well.
