His blade came down in a mighty arc - but the insect continued on its way! The crowd was aghast. The greatest swordsman had missed his target completely, yet he continued to smile.

"Why are you so happy?" someone yelled. "You missed!"

"Ah," replied the swordsman, "you weren't watching very carefully. They fly lives, yes - but he will never be a father."

⑥ 英语阅读短文（有中文）4篇

1．Learning：A Lifelong Career【学习：一生的事业】

As food is to the body, so is learning to the mind. Our bodies grow and muscles develop with the intake of adequate nutritious food. Likewise, we should keep learning day by day to maintain our keen mental power and expand our intellectual capacity. Constant learning supplies us with inexhaustible fuel for driving us to sharpen our power of reasoning, analysis, and judgment. Learning incessantly is the surest way to keep pace with the times in the information age, and an infallible warrant of success in times of uncertainty.

Once learning stops, vegetation sets in. It is a common fallacy to regard school as the only workshop for the acquisition of knowledge. On the contrary, learning should be a never-ending process, from the cradle to the grave. With the world ever changing so fast, the cease from learning for just a few days will make a person lag behind. What's worse, the animalistic instinct dormant deep in our subconsciousness will come to life, weakening our will to pursue our noble ideal, sapping our determination to sweep away obstacles to our success and strangling our desire for the refinement of our character. Lack of learning will inevitably lead to the stagnation of the mind, or even worse, its fossilization, Therefore, to stay mentally young, we have to take learning as a lifelong career.

学习之于心灵，就像食物之于身体一样。摄取了适量的营养食物，我们的身体得以生长而肌肉得以发达。同样地，我们应该日复一日不断地学习以保持我们敏锐的心智能力，并扩充我们的智力容量。不断的学习提供我们用不尽的燃料，来驱使我们磨利我们的推理、分析和判断的能力。持续的学习是在信息时代中跟时代并驾齐驱的最稳当的方法，也是在变动的世代中成功的可靠保证。

一旦学习停止，单调贫乏的生活就开始了。视学校为汲取知识的唯一场所是种常见的谬误。相反地，学习应该是一种无终止的历程，从生到死。由于世界一直快速地在变动，只要学习停顿数日就将使人落后。更糟的是，蛰伏在我们潜意识深处的兽性本能就会复活，削弱我们追求高贵理想的意志，弱化我们扫除成功障碍的决心，而且扼杀我们净化我们人格的欲望。缺少学习将不可避免地导致心灵的停滞，甚至更糟地，使其僵化。因此，为了保持心理年轻，我们必须将学习当作一生的事业。
2．heavy shoolwork【课业繁重】

In my opinion, the schoolwork now being assigned to high school students is too heavy. While it is true that students need to study, they need other things as well if they are to grow into healthy and well-rounded alts. High should be allowed more time for play. Plying is not wasting time, as some think. It gives them physical exercise, and also exercise their imagination. Which tends to be stifled by too much study. Finally, the pressure put on high school students by excessive schoolwork can cause serious stress, which is unhealthy physically and mentally. I do not advocate the elimination of schoolwork. I do think, however, that a rection of the current heavy load would be beneficial to students and to the society as a whole.

我认为目前高中生的课业实在太重了，虽然说学生的确应当念书，但是要想长大成为健全的人，他门还需要一些其它的东西，所以应该给高中生较多从事娱乐的时间。娱乐并不如某些人所想的，是在浪费时间，它可以让学生锻炼身体，发挥被繁重课业扼杀的想象力。此外，繁重的课业加诸在高中生身上的压力可能引起严重的情绪紧张，这对身心都有害。我并非主张废除学校课业，但是我认为减轻目前繁重的课业对于学生和整个社会都是有益的。
3．Time【时间】

Lost time is never found again. This is something which I learned very clearly last semester. I spent so much time fooling around that my grades began to suffer. I finally realized that something had to be done. It was time for a change.

Now I have a new plan for using my time wisely. I have set my alarm clock ahead half an hour. This will give me a head start on the day. I have also decided to keep a log of what I do and when I do it. Looking back on what I’ve done will give me some ideas on how to reorganize my time.

时光一去不复返，这是我上学期清楚学到的教训。我浪费很多时间四处游荡，以致于我的成绩开始退步。最后我终于了解到我必须有所作为；该是痛改前非的时候了。

现在我有一个明智运用时间的新方法。我已将闹钟早拨半小时，这将使我这一天的作息提前开始。我也决定将我所做的一切及做这些事的时间记录下来。回顾我所做的事情会启发我如何重新安排我的时间。

4．Work and Play【工作与娱乐】

Work and play do not contradict each other; in fact, they complement each other. As the saying goes, "All work and no play makes Jack a ll boy." A life burdened with work leads you nowhere, for you would get tired and bored with your daily routine work. On the other hand, proper recreation will relieve the tension and discomfort of our monotonous life because it offers you various ways to let out your pent-up emotions.

What I usually do to relax after school is jogging and seeing movies. Usually I don't spare time for exercise, but I value the physical ecation class at school. Jogging several rounds in the field certainly relieves the day's pressure. On weekends, I'll catch the morning movie for my visual enjoyment. I feel revived and energetic for another week's work-load.

工作与娱乐并不互相冲突，事实上，它们之间的关系还相辅相成。有句格言说：「整日工作而没有休闲娱乐，会令人变得沉闷乏味。」被工作重担压得喘不过气来的生活，将使你一事无成，因为你将对一成不变的例行公事感到厌烦。由另一方面来说，适度的娱乐活动能提供各种管道，来渲泄你被压抑的情绪，减轻单调生活中的紧张与不悦。

放学之后，我最常做的休闲活动，便是慢跑与看电影。通常我并不特地拨出时间来做运动，但是我很重视学校的体育课。在操场上慢跑几圈，无疑地可以减轻一天的压力。在周末时，我都去看早场电影，享受视觉飨宴。如此一来，我将有如再生般的充沛活力，去面对下一星期的工作量。

5．My first Job【我的第一份工作】

My first job was at a cramming school. It was three years ago when I just graated from junior high school and finished the entrance examination. since I had nothing to do that summer, I decided to find a job, tasting the joy of independence.

I was responsible for answering the telephone and taking the message. I worked eight hours a day, six days a week. The work was not difficult nor heavy to me and I guess I did well. The most delighted thing was perhaps that I could spend the money I earned all by myself.

我的第一份工作是在一家补习班做事。那是三年前我刚从国中毕业，考完联考时的事了。既然我那整个夏天都闲着没事，倒不如找份差事，尝尝独立赚钱的快乐。

我负责接听电话且纪录留言的工作。我一天工作八小时，一星期工作六天。那份工作对我而言既不困难亦不沉重，所以我想我还满称职的。而最令人快乐的事大概莫过于花全部由自己赚来的钱了！

6．My Favorite Sports【我最喜爱的运动】

Sports help everyone to keep healthy, happy, and efficient. So I pay special attention to games, especially table-tennis. Table tennis is my favorite game. I play it almost every day.

Table-tennis is an ideal game us because it brings the whole body into action. It strengthens our muscles, expands our lungs, promotes the circulation of the blood, and causes a healthy action of the skin. Besides, it is very amusing and does not cost us much money. Table-tennis is very moderate; it is not so rough as football. It is an indoor game and can be played even on rainy days. Thus, it is my favorite kind of exercise.

运动能帮助每一个人保持健康、快乐和有效率。所以我特别重视运动，特别是桌球，桌球是我最喜欢的运动。我几乎每天玩。

桌球对我们而言，是一项理想的运动，因为它可以使我们全身运动，它可以增强我们的肌肉，扩张我们的肺部，促进血液循环，并且使肌肤产生健康作用，此外，它很有趣而且所费不多。桌球是相当温和适中的，它不像足球那么粗野。它是一种室内运动，甚至在下雨天也能玩。因此，桌球是我最喜爱的一种运动。

希望能对你有所帮助～～：）

But the teacher cried
The six-year-old John was terribly spoiled . His father knew it, but his grandma doted on him. He hardly left her side. And when he wanted anything, he either cried or threw a temper tantrum. Then came his first day of school, his first day away from his grandmother's loving arms.

When he came home from school his grandma met him at the door.

"Was school all right?" she asked, "Did you get along all right? did you cry?"

"Cry?" John asked. "No, I didn't cry, but the teacher did!"

可是老师哭了

六岁的约翰娇生惯养。他的父亲知道这一点，可他的祖父母仍然宠着他。这孩子几乎寸步不离他的祖母。他想要什么不是哭，就是闹。他第一天上学才离开祖母的怀抱。

约翰放学了，他奶奶在门口接他并问道：“学校怎么样？你过的好吗？哭了没有？”

“哭？”约翰问，“不，我没哭，可老师哭了。”

This is the Venus Fly-Trap. It has two special leaves, and each leaf has several hairs in the middle. If an insect touches one of these, the leaves start to shut together. The insect often tries to run away. But the plant moves more quickly than the insect. The victim(受害者) is trapped in a little prison. Soon it dies, and the plant graally absorbs (吸收) it.
Plants live the longest of all things on Earth. A Bristle Cone Pine in California is 4,700 years old, and is still alive－older than any written history.
Plants can be as small as one cell, like the millions of tiny plants in the seas. One of the smallest is the Lichen plant, which grows on stones. It is probably the plant which grows the most slowly. It can take a hundred years to grow a few centimeters.
But plant can also be as big as the Giant Red-wood. the world's most massive(大而重的) living thing. One tree in California is 84 m high and probably over two thousand tones in weight. No other type of tree grows higher than the Giant Redwood.
The Dead Horse Arum attracts(吸引) flies by looking and smelling like dead meat. Once they get inside the plant, it shuts a door, and keeps them prisoner for a night. During the night, it drops pollen(花粉) on them. It releases(释放) them the next morning, covered in pollen, so that they can go and carry the pollen to another Arum.
One type of Acacia tree in South America encourages ants to live in it. The tree provides the ants with a home (in special branches) and with food (little pieces of protein at the end of some leaves). In return, the ants defend their tree as fiercely(猛烈地) as they can. They attract any other insect or animal which comes near, and even remove other plants growing near it.

10 Reasons To Love
An Empowered Woman

If you are looking for someone
you can pour out your love to,
let me suggest the empowered woman.
The empowered woman knows what she
wants, knows how to get it,
knows how to live fully, and
she knows how to love you back
without needing anyone’s approval or
recognition. An empowered woman is
unarguably one of the most magnificent
beings you will ever come in
contact with. Read on and find 10
reason why you should absolutely love
and embrace the empowered women in
your life! .

1. She knows how to love
you in return
It is
difficult to give what you
don’t have. It is impossible to
love someone and feel fulfilled when
they can’t love you in return
because they don’t love themselves.
This will never happen to you
when you love an empowered woman.
She loves herself (not in a
narcissistic manner). In turn, she
appreciates who you are and loves
you in return. She will love
you just like you deserve to be
loved.

2. She will inspire
you
When life puts you
down and you are at the end
of your rope, the empowered woman
will be there to see you
through. Her drive, enthusiasm and
(at times) hopeless optimism will
inspire you to carry on despite
the obstacles you face.

3. She is not afraid of
failure
While many out
there are thoroughly terrified of
failure, the empowered woman understands
that failures are simply stepping
stones in life. How can you
not love someone that is thoroughly
unafraid to try, fail, and give
it a shot all over again?!

4. She is all about the
legacy
While most people
are focused on the car, the
house, the job, and corner office;
the empowered woman is focused on
leaving a legacy that will inspire
others and change the world. The
empowered woman is focused on
empowering others to maximize their
potential and fulfill their purpose.
She is all about inspiring others
to look beyond themselves and live
a life of service to others.

5. She can laugh at her
mistakes…
…and learn from
them as well! She understands mistakes
are part of the journey. The
empowered woman can laugh and learn
from her mistakes to ensure they
never happen again.

6. She can be
vulnerable
The empowered woman
understands there is no debt in
relationships without vulnerability. Although
she is emotionally strong, she is
willing to laugh and cry with
you because all of these emotions
are an essential part of life.

7. She can speak her
mind
While everyone else
is too concerned with what others
may think or say, the empowered
woman is not afraid to speak
her mind. She understands that her
value comes from within, not from
what others say or think about
her.

8. She knows when to remain
quiet
She lives by Abe
Lincoln’s words, “Better to remain
silent and be thought a fool,
than to speak out and remove
all doubt.”

9. She knows how to have
fun
Whether it is at
the symphony or at a ball game,
the empowered woman understands life
is made up of experiences with
people – not the places you go.
She is able to live in the
moment and enjoy it fully without
being concerned for the future. After
all, who’s got a guaranteed
future?

10. She is not afraid of
change
While most people
rather continue on living unfulfilled
lives as long as their comfort
zone remains intact, the empowered
woman is all about embracing change.
She understands growth cannot happen
without change. She understands that
change is the gift life offers
you to choose your destiny. Therefore,
she is not afraid of change
because it is her stepping stone
towards success
