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(文学). 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(有经验的) 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

风和太阳(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.
(有一天风跟太阳说: “看看那个沿着路上走的人.我可以比你快让他把披风脱下来.)
(“我们等着看吧,”太阳说, “我让你先试.)
(因此风尝试让那个人把披风脱下来.他用力地吹,可是那个人把披风拉得更紧.)
(“我放弃了,”风最后说, “我无法让他把披风脱下来.”然后由太阳试试看.他尽可能地晒他.不久,那个人很热就把披风脱下来了.)

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.
我为什么活着
罗素
三股简单而非凡强烈的激情一直控制着我的一生:对爱的渴望,对知识的追求和对人类苦难不堪忍受的怜悯。这三股激情,象阵阵巨风,把我在痛苦的海洋的路途中吹得任意东西,变动无常,直吹到了绝望的边缘。
我寻求爱,首先是因为它带来了欣喜若狂之情——欣喜若狂使人如此心醉神迷,我常常愿意牺牲我的全部余生来换取几小时这样的欢乐。我寻求爱,其次是因为它能解除寂寞——那种可怕的寂寞,如同一个人毛发悚然地从这世界的边缘探望令人战栗的死气沉沉的无底深渊。我寻求爱,最后是因为在爱的结合中我看到了圣徒们和诗人们所想象的预言中的天堂景象的神秘雏型。这就是我所寻求的东西,虽然它也许似乎是人生所难以得到的美好事物,但这就是——最后——我终于找到的东西。
我怀着同样的激情寻求知识。我希望理解人们的心。我希望知道星星为什么发光。我力图领悟毕达哥拉斯的才能,他的才能使数字支配着不断变动的事物。在这方面,我只达到了一小部分,并不很多。
爱和知识,尽其可能,远远地把人引向九天之上。倡怜悯总是把我带回到地面上来。痛苦的呼号的回声在我心里回荡。受饥挨饿的儿童,在压迫者折磨下受苦受难的人们,无依无靠而成为自己子女嫌恶的负担的老人,以及整个孤苦寂寞的世界,穷困与痛苦都在嘲弄着人生,使人们不能过应有的美好生活。我渴望减轻灾难祸害,但是我力不从心,我自己也在受苦。
这就是我的一生。我觉得我的一生过得很值得。如果我还有机会的话,我将乐意再度过这样的一生。

㈧ 求三篇美文(英文),带翻译,适合初一学生阅读
在人生路途之上,我们的诚实在不时地接受着考验。公理自在人心。当诚实遭遇利益冲突,而又和亲情联系时,一个人还能保持诚实吗?在本文中,儿子在父亲指导的球队参加比赛时作计时员,他能否公平公正地完成自己任务呢?
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.

作为一名高中篮球教练,我竭尽全力体帮我的学生在比赛中取得胜利。我全力支持他们在比赛中取胜,他们也刻苦训练。
然而,在一场我所裁判的比赛之后发生了一件富有戏剧性的偶然事件。这件事改变了我对胜败的看法。那是一次蓝球冠军联赛,当时,我在纽约州的新罗谢尔市给新罗谢尔和扬克斯两个队之间的比赛作裁判。
新罗谢尔队的教练是丹·奥布赖恩,而扬克斯队的教练是莱斯·贝克。体育馆内座无虚席,呼声震天。比赛顺利进行,两队比分接近,扬克斯队仅以一分的优势领先。我看了一下时钟,距离比赛结束仅剩三十秒。
扬克斯队控球在手,传球、投篮,但是没投中。新罗谢尔队重新控球,将球向场地的另一个方向传球,然后投篮。观众急切地盯着球,球沿着篮球筐边急速旋转,最终又落了下来。球迷们尖声喊叫。
主队新罗谢尔队重新把球夺过来,把球拨进篮筐,似乎已经赢得了比赛的胜利。人群的呼喊声震耳欲聋。我看了一下时钟,已经过了比赛结束时间。由于声音太大,我没有听到终场信号声。我向另外一名工作人员核对时间,但是他说不清楚。
我仍然在混乱中求助,我走近计时员——一个大约17岁的年轻人。他告诉我:“科维诺先生,当球滚出篮筐时,终场信号发出了,在最后球又被拨进篮筐之前。”
“丹,在最后那个球被拨进篮筐之前,时间已经到了。”我无可奈何地告诉奥布赖恩教练,“扬克斯队赢了。”
他脸色阴沉了下来。那个年轻的计时员走上前,说:“爸爸,对不起。在最后一个球投中之前时间就已经到了。”
突然间,奥布赖恩教练的脸色就像太阳拨开了乌云,转晴了,他说:“没关系,乔。你做了你应该做的,我为你感到骄傲。”
他把脸转向我,说:"埃尔,我介绍一下我的儿子,乔。"
奥布赖恩教练把胳膊搭在儿子的肩膀上,两个人一起离开了球场。
