A friend of mine named Paul received an expensive car from his brother as a Christmas present.On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office,a street urchin was walking around the shining car.「 this your car,Paul?」he asked.
Paul answered,「Yes,my brother gave it to me for Christmas.」 The boy was surprised.「You mean your brother gave it to you and it didn't cost you nothing?Boy,I wish…」 He hesitated.
Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for.He was going to wish he had a brother like that. But what the boy said surprised Paul greatly.
「I wish,」 the boy went on,「that I could be a brother like that.」 Paul looked at the boy in surprise, then he said again, 「Would you like to take a ride in my car?」
「Oh yes,I'd love that.」
After a short ride,the boy turned and with his eyes shining,said,「Paul,would you mind driving in front of my house?」
Paul smiled a little.He thought he knew what the boy wanted.He wanted to show his neighbours that he could ride home in a big car. But Paul was wrong again. 「Will you stop where those two steps are?」 the boy asked.
He ran up to the steps. Then in a short while Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled brother. He sat him down on the step and pointed to the car.
「There she is, Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn't cost him a cent. And some day I'm going to give you one just like it…then you can see for yourself all the nice things in the Christmas windows that I've been trying to tell you about.」
Paul got out and lifted the boy to the front seat of his car. The shining-eyed older brother climbed in beside him and the three of them began an unforgettable holiday ride.

A friend of mine was fond of drawing horse. He drew the horses very well,but he always began the tail. Now it is the Western rule to begin at the head of the horse, that is why I was surprised. It struck me that it could not really make any difference whether the artist begins at the head or the tail or the belly(肚子) or the foot of the horse, if he really knows his business. And most great artists who really know their business do not follow other people's rule.They make their own rules. Every one of them does his work in a way peculiar(奇特的) to himself; and the peculiarity means only that he finds it more easy
to work in that way.
Now the very same thing is true to literature(文學). And the question, "How shall I begin?" only means that you want to begin at the head instead of beginning at the tail or somewhere else. That is, you are not yet experienced(有經驗的) enough to trust to your own powers. When you become more experienced you will
never ask the question, and I think that you will often begin at the tail --that is to say, you will write the end of the story before you have even thought of the beginning.
1. A friend of the writer's drew the horses ____.
A. very well
B. in the way of western rule
C. in the way of his own rule
D. all of the above
2. The writer was surprised because ____.
A. the artist began to draw at the head of the horse
B. the artist began to draw at the tail of the horse
C. the artist made his own rule
D. the artist did not follow other people's rule
3. You are not yet experienced because ____.
A. you don't know where to begin
B. you want to begin at the head instead of beginning at the tail
C. you always asked question
D. you do not trust to your own powers
4. When you become more experienced you will ____.
A. never ask question
B. often begin at the tail
C. should write the end of the story
D. should think of the beginning
5. The topic of the passage is ______.
A. How to draw a horse

風和太陽(The Wind And The Sun)
One day the wind said to the sun, 「Look at that man walking along the road. I can get his cloak off more quickly than you can.」
「We will see about that,」 said the sun. 「I will let you try first.」
So the wind tried to make the man take off his cloak. He blew and blew, but the man only pulled his cloak more closely around himself.
「I give up,」 said the wind at last. 「I cannot get his cloak off.」 Then the sun tried. He shone as hard as he could. The man soon became hot and took off his cloak.

Bertrand Russell
Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love ,the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind. These passions, like great winds, have blown me hither and thither, in a wayward course, over a deep ocean of anguish, reaching to the very verge of despair.
I have sought love, first, because it brings ecstasy -- ecstasy so great that I would often have sacrificed all the rest of life for a few hours of this joy. I have sought it , next, because it relieves loneliness-- that terrible loneliness in which one shivering consciousness looks over the rim of the world , into the cold unfathomable lifeless abyss. I have sought it, finally, because in the union of love I have seen, in a mystic miniature, the prefiguring vision of the heaven that saints and poets have imagined. This is what I sought, and though it might seem too good for human life, this is what -- at last -- I have found.
With equal passion I have sought knowledge. I have wished to understand the hearts of men. I have wished to know why the stars shine. And I have tried to apprehend the Pythagorean power by which number holds sway above the flux. A little of this, but not much I have achieved.
Love and knowlidge , so far as they were possible, led upward toward the heavens. But always pity brought me back to earth. Echoes of cries of pain reverberate in my heart. Children in famine, victims tortured by oppressors, helpless old people a hated burden to their sons, and the whole world of lonelines, poverty, and pain make a mockery of what human life should be. I long to alleviate the evil, but I cannot, and I too suffer.
This has been my life. I have found it worth living, and would gladly live it again if the chance were offered me.
我為什麼活著
羅素
三股簡單而非凡強烈的激情一直控制著我的一生:對愛的渴望,對知識的追求和對人類苦難不堪忍受的憐憫。這三股激情,象陣陣巨風,把我在痛苦的海洋的路途中吹得任意東西,變動無常,直吹到了絕望的邊緣。
我尋求愛,首先是因為它帶來了欣喜若狂之情——欣喜若狂使人如此心醉神迷,我常常願意犧牲我的全部餘生來換取幾小時這樣的歡樂。我尋求愛,其次是因為它能解除寂寞——那種可怕的寂寞,如同一個人毛發悚然地從這世界的邊緣探望令人戰栗的死氣沉沉的無底深淵。我尋求愛,最後是因為在愛的結合中我看到了聖徒們和詩人們所想像的預言中的天堂景象的神秘雛型。這就是我所尋求的東西,雖然它也許似乎是人生所難以得到的美好事物,但這就是——最後——我終於找到的東西。
我懷著同樣的激情尋求知識。我希望理解人們的心。我希望知道星星為什麼發光。我力圖領悟畢達哥拉斯的才能,他的才能使數字支配著不斷變動的事物。在這方面,我只達到了一小部分,並不很多。
愛和知識,盡其可能,遠遠地把人引向九天之上。倡憐憫總是把我帶回到地面上來。痛苦的呼號的回聲在我心裡回盪。受飢挨餓的兒童,在壓迫者折磨下受苦受難的人們,無依無靠而成為自己子女嫌惡的負擔的老人,以及整個孤苦寂寞的世界,窮困與痛苦都在嘲弄著人生,使人們不能過應有的美好生活。我渴望減輕災難禍害,但是我力不從心,我自己也在受苦。
這就是我的一生。我覺得我的一生過得很值得。如果我還有機會的話,我將樂意再度過這樣的一生。

㈧ 求三篇美文(英文),帶翻譯,適合初一學生閱讀
在人生路途之上,我們的誠實在不時地接受著考驗。公理自在人心。當誠實遭遇利益沖突,而又和親情聯系時,一個人還能保持誠實嗎?在本文中,兒子在父親指導的球隊參加比賽時作計時員,他能否公平公正地完成自己任務呢?
As a high school coach, I did all I could to help my boys win their games. I rooted as hard for victory as they did.
A dramatic incident, however, following a game in which I officiated as a referee, changed my perspective on victories and defeats. I was refereeing a league championship basketball game in New Rochelle, New York, between New Rochelle and Yonkers High.
New Rochelle was coached by Dan O'Brien, Yonkers by Les Beck. The gym was crowded to capacity, and the volume of noise made it impossible to hear. The game was well played and closely contested. Yonkers was leading by one point as I glanced at the clock and discovered there were but 30 seconds left to play.
Yonkers, in possession of the ball, passed off — shot — missed. New Rochelle recovered — pushed the ball up court — shot. The ball rolled tantalizingly around the rim and off. The fans shrieked.
New Rochelle, the home team, recovered the ball, and tapped it in for what looked like victory. The tumult was deafening. I glanced at the clock and saw that the game was over. I hadn't heard the final buzzer because of the noise. I checked with the other official, but he could not help me.
Still seeking help in this bedlam, I approached the timekeeper, a young man of 17 or so. He said, "Mr. Covino, the buzzer went off as the ball rolled off the rim, before the final tap-in was made."
I was in the unenviable position of having to tell Coach O'Brien the sad news. "Dan," I said, "time ran out before the final basket was tapped in. Yonkers won the game."
His face clouded over. The young timekeeper came up. He said, "I'm sorry, Dad. The time ran out before the final basket."
Suddenly, like the sun coming out from behind a cloud, Coach O'Brien's face lit up. He said, "That's okay, Joe. You did what you had to do. I'm proud of you."
Turning to me, he said, "Al, I want you to meet my son, Joe."
The two of them then walked off the court together, the coach's arm around his son's shoulder.

作為一名高中籃球教練,我竭盡全力體幫我的學生在比賽中取得勝利。我全力支持他們在比賽中取勝,他們也刻苦訓練。
然而,在一場我所裁判的比賽之後發生了一件富有戲劇性的偶然事件。這件事改變了我對勝敗的看法。那是一次藍球冠軍聯賽,當時,我在紐約州的新羅謝爾市給新羅謝爾和揚克斯兩個隊之間的比賽作裁判。
新羅謝爾隊的教練是丹·奧布賴恩,而揚克斯隊的教練是萊斯·貝克。體育館內座無虛席,呼聲震天。比賽順利進行,兩隊比分接近,揚克斯隊僅以一分的優勢領先。我看了一下時鍾,距離比賽結束僅剩三十秒。
揚克斯隊控球在手,傳球、投籃,但是沒投中。新羅謝爾隊重新控球,將球向場地的另一個方向傳球,然後投籃。觀眾急切地盯著球,球沿著籃球筐邊急速旋轉,最終又落了下來。球迷們尖聲喊叫。
主隊新羅謝爾隊重新把球奪過來,把球撥進籃筐,似乎已經贏得了比賽的勝利。人群的呼喊聲震耳欲聾。我看了一下時鍾,已經過了比賽結束時間。由於聲音太大,我沒有聽到終場信號聲。我向另外一名工作人員核對時間,但是他說不清楚。
我仍然在混亂中求助,我走近計時員——一個大約17歲的年輕人。他告訴我:「科維諾先生,當球滾出籃筐時,終場信號發出了,在最後球又被撥進籃筐之前。」
「丹,在最後那個球被撥進籃筐之前,時間已經到了。」我無可奈何地告訴奧布賴恩教練,「揚克斯隊贏了。」
他臉色陰沉了下來。那個年輕的計時員走上前,說:「爸爸,對不起。在最後一個球投中之前時間就已經到了。」
突然間,奧布賴恩教練的臉色就像太陽撥開了烏雲,轉晴了,他說:「沒關系,喬。你做了你應該做的,我為你感到驕傲。」
他把臉轉向我,說:"埃爾,我介紹一下我的兒子,喬。"
奧布賴恩教練把胳膊搭在兒子的肩膀上,兩個人一起離開了球場。
