　　I will live this day as if it is my last.

　　我会把今天当成生命的最后一天去生活。

　　And what shall I do with this last precious day which remains in my keeping?First,I will seal up its container of life so that not one drop spills itself upon the sand. I will waste not a moment mourning yesterday’s misfortunes, yesterday’s defeats, yesterday’s aches of the heart, for why should I throw good after bad?

　　我要如何利用属于我的这最后的、宝贵的一天呢?首先，我将把这生活的容器密封，把一天一天的时间好好珍藏，不让一分一秒的时间滴漏在沙滩上。我不会浪 费哪怕是一小会儿的时间为昨日的不幸、昨曰的失败、昨日的心痛而叹息。为什么 我要扔掉眼前的幸福时光呢?

　　Can sand flow upward in the hour glass? Will the sun rise where it sets and set where it rises? Can I relive the errors of yesterday and right them? Can I call back yesterday’s wounds and make them whole? Can I become younger than yesterday? Can I take back the evil that was spoken, the blows that were struck, the pain that was caused? No. Yesterday is buried forever and I will think of it no more.

　　时间的沙漏可以倒流吗?太阳会西升东落吗?我能回到昨天，改正那时的错误 吗?我能召回昨日的创伤并将之抚*吗?我能比昨天年轻吗?我能收回伤人的话、 挥出的拳头、造成的伤害吗?不能!昨日已经永远埋葬，我不会再想它。

　　I will live this day as if it is my last.

　　我会把今天当成生命的最后一天去生活。

　　And what then shall I do? Forgetting yesterday neither will I think of tomorrow. Why should I throw note after maybe? Can tomorrow’s sand flow through the glass before today’s? Will the sun rise twice this morning? Can I perform tomorrow’s deeds while standing in today’s path? Can I place tomorrow’s gold in today’s purse? Can tomorrow’s child be bom today? Can tomorrow’s death cast its shadow backward and darken today’s joy? Should I concern myself over events which 1 may never witness? Should I torment myself with problems that may never come to pass? No! Tomorrow lies buried with yesterday, and I will think of it no more.

　　那么我该怎么做呢?我将忘记昨天，我也不会去梦想明天。为什么要把时间的 钞票浪费在未知数上?明天的时间能穿过沙漏倒流，回到昨日吗?今早太阳能再次 升起吗?我能站在今天的道路上做明天的事吗?我能把明天的金币放进今天的钱袋 吗?明日出生的孩子今天会降临吗?明天的死亡能给今天的欢乐蒙上阴影吗?我要 为自己可能永远无法见证的事件担忧吗?我要用可能永远无法到来的问题来折磨自 己吗?不能!明天和昨天一样已被埋葬，我不会再想它。

　　I will live this day as if it is my last.

　　我会把今天当成生命的最后一天去生活。

　　This day is all I have and these hours are now my eternity. I greet this sunrise with cries of joy as a prisoner who is reprieved from death. I lift my arms with thanks for this priceless gift of a new day. So too, I will beat upon my heart with gratitude as I consider all who greeted yesterday’s sunrise who are no longer with the living today.I am indeed a fortunate man and today’s hours are but a bonus, undeserved.

　　今天是我仅有的一天，这些分秒现在就是我的永恒。我流着喜悦的泪水，欢呼 迎接今天的日出，就像被赦免死刑的囚犯一般。我举起双臂，感谢这无价的馈赠， 这无与伦比的新的一天。因此，当我想到昨天和我一起迎接日出的朋友今天已远离 尘世，我也会心存感激，我确实是无比幸运的人，今天的时光是我的奖赏，我本不 应该获得的奖赏。

　　I will live this day as if it is my last.

　　我会把今天当成生命的最后一天去生活。

　　I have but one life and life is naught but, a measurement of time. When I waste one I destroy the other. If I waste today I destroy the last page of my life. Therefore, each hour of this day will I cherish for it can never return. It cannot be banked today to be withdrawn on the morrow，for who can trap the wind? Each minute of this day will I grasp with both hands and fondle with love for its value is beyond price. What dying man can purchase another breath though he willingly give all his gold? What price dare I place on the hours ahead? I will make them priceless!

　　我只有一次生命，生命不过是时间的衡量工具。当我虚度人生时，我摧毁的是 时间。如果我浪费了今天，就等于毁掉了我人生的最后一页。因此，我会珍惜今天 的每一个小时，因为它将一去不返。我们无法把今天存入银行，明日再取用，谁会 捕捉到如风一样的时间呢?今天的每一分钟我都要用双手捧住，用爱心抚摸，因为 它价值无限。哪一个垂死的人能买得一口气息，即使他花去所有的金子。我怎敢给 剩下的时间贴上价格标签?我要让它们成为无价之宝!

　　I will live this day as if it is my last.

　　我会把今天当成生命的最后一天去生活。

　　And if it is my last, it will be my greatest monument. This day I will make the best day of my life. This day I will drink every minute to its full.I will savor its taste and give thanks. I will make the every hour count and each minute I will trade only for something of value. I will labor harder than ever before and push my muscles until they cry for relief, and then I will continue. I will make more calls than ever before. I will sell more goods than ever before. I will earn more gold than ever before. Each minute of today will be more fruitful than hours of yesterday. My last must be my best.

　　如果这是我的最后一天，它将是我最伟大的丰碑。我会让今天成为人生中最美 好的一日。我会畅饮每一分钟，我会品尝它的味道并且满怀谢意。我要让每一分钟 都富有价值，每一分钟只能换取珍贵的事物。我会比以往任何时候都更努力地劳 动，用尽浑身肌肉，直到精疲力竭，之后我还将继续。我会比以往任何时候都频繁 地拜访客户，销售更多的货物，赚取更多的财富。今天的每一分钟都将硕果累累， 胜过昨日的每一小时。我的最后一天必定是我人生中最辉煌的一日。

　　For years villagers believed that Endley farm was haunted. The farm was owned by two brothers, Joe and Bert Cox. They employed a few farm hands, but no one was willing to work there long. Every time a worker gave up his job, he told the same story. Farm labourers said that they always woke up to find the work had been done overnight. Hay had been cut and cow sheds had been cleaned. A farm worker, who stayed up all night, claimed to have seen a figure cutting corn in the

　　moonlight. In time, it became an accepted fact that the Cox brothers employed a conscientious ghost that did most of their work for them.

　　No one suspected that there might be someone else on the farm who had never been seen. This was indeed the case. A short time ago, villagers were astonished to learn that the ghost of Endley had died. Everyone went to the funeral, for the "ghost" was none other than Eric Cox, a third brother who was supposed to have died as a young man. After the funeral, Joe and Bert revealed

　　a secret which they had kept for over forty years. Eric had been the eldest son of the family. He had been obliged to join the army during the first World War. As he hated army life he decided to desert his regiment. When he learnt that he would be sent abroad, he returned to the farm and his farther hid him until the end of the war. Fearing the authorities, Eric remained in hiding after the war as well. His father told everybody that Eric had been killed in action. The only other people who knew the secret were Joe and Bert. They did not even tell their wives. When their father died, they thought it their duty to keep Eric in hiding. All these years, Eric had lived as a recluse(隐遁者, 寂寞者). He used to sleep during the day and work at night, quite unaware of the fact that he had become the ghost of Endley. When he died, however, his brothers found it impossible to keep the secret any longer.

　　多年来，村民们一直认为恩得利农场在闹鬼。恩得利农场属于乔.考科斯和鲍勃.考科斯兄弟俩所有。他们雇了几个农工，但谁也不愿意在那儿长期工作下去。每次雇工辞职后都叙述着同样的故事。雇工们说，常常一早起来发现有人在夜里把活干了，干草已切好，牛棚也打扫干净了。有一个彻夜未眠的雇工还声称他看见一个人影在月光下收割庄稼。随着时间的流逝，考科斯兄弟雇了一个尽心尽责的鬼，他们家的活大部分都让鬼给干了，这件事成了公认的事实。

　　谁也没想到农场竟会有一个从未露面的人。但事实上确有此人。不久之前，村民们惊悉恩得利农场的鬼死了。大家都去参加了葬礼，因为那"鬼"不是别人，正是农场主的兄弟埃里克.考科斯。人们以为埃里克年轻时就死了。葬礼之后，乔和鲍勃透露了他们保守了长达50多年的秘密。

　　埃里克是这家长子。年龄比他两个弟弟大很多，第二次世界大战期间被迫参军。他讨厌军旅生活，决定逃离所在部队。当他了解自己将被派遣出国时，他逃回农场，父亲把他藏了起来，直到战争结束。由于害怕当局，埃里克战后继续深藏不露。他的父亲告诉大家，埃里克在战争中被打死了。除此之外，只有乔与鲍知道这个秘密。但他俩连自己的妻子都没告诉。父亲死后，他们兄弟俩认为有责任继续把埃里克藏起来。这些年来，埃里克过着隐士生活，白天睡觉，夜里出来干活，一点不知道自己已成了恩得利家场的活鬼。他死后，他的弟弟们才觉得无法再保守这个秘密了。

　　Perhaps the most extraordinary building of the nineteeth century was the Crystal Palace, which was built in Hyde Park for the Great Exhibition of 1851. The Crystal Palace was different from all other buildings in the world, for it was made of iron and glass. It was one of the biggest buildings of all time and a lot of people from many countries came to see it. A great many goods were sent to the exhibition from various parts of the world. There was also a great deal of machinery on display. The most wonderful piece of machinery on show was Nasmyth"s steam hammer. Though in those days, traveling was not as easy as it is today, steam boats carried thousands of visitors across the Channel from Europe. On arriving in England, they were taken to the Crystal Palace by train. There were six million visitors in all, and the profits from the exhibition were used to build museums and colleges. Later, the Crystal Palace was moved to South London. It remained one of the most famous buildings in the world until it was burnt down in 1936.

　　My Journals 7

　　June 22, 2005.. I bought a 525 ml bottle of Vaseline(a brand of lotion.) Extra Strength lotion. It was on sale, just 3 bucks, like RMB 20 kuai. That was a really good deal. I can use it for 365 days. Saving is my premier job, coz Im not rich and also couldn’t buy luxury products. One of my friends who is in Australia only love Louis Vuitton( a luxury brand of leather products from France) Last time, she sent me some pictures about her Louis Vuitton collection. It was huge! Everything of hers is Louis Vuitton, even her underwears.( Does Louis Vuitton produce UNDERWEAR?) She probably bought a Nissan(a car brand from Japan.) 350z. Wow! I love that car very much, but I can’t afford it. When we were in the same senior high school, she told her friends she liked me, but she never said it to me. When I knew it, she is already living in Australia. We chat sometimes on MSN(a message software which is extensively used all over the world), but we are just common friends. Speak it like it is, I was never in love with her, coz I didn’t have that feeling. Maybe she was seeing me, but I was not. Yesterday, I mentioned about a Korean girl. She was rich as well. She has a BMW X5 and…… I think that car is enough to prove everything. How come those girls who liked me are much richer than me? Im poor and still suffer the poverty. When these 2 girls are eating delicious food, I m eating instant noodle soup. When they are driving on the road elatedly, Im walking to university. I really wanna find a poor girl to be my galfriend, coz I could also find the balance. My ex-girlfriend is living in Japan. She is ok, not that rich. Sometimes, we talk online, and she still calls me SWEETIE and regards me as her husband. I can see through she wants to get back our relationship. Ha, that is okay. But it doesn’t make any sense. She won’t come to Canada for me. She has a good job and family there. That was why I did not want her to tag along with me and stick with me. We are hopeless although our love lasted almost 4 years. I just wanna get over it! Now Im a 100% single man. I live by myself. Everyday I keep being busy. I do believe that sometimes girl is nothing but troubles. Today, I bought a new tee, the words printed on the shirt are “Canadian Girls Drinking Team”, I just felt it was interesting and bought it. Maybe some of my friends see it, they probably scream “are you gonna change your sex and join that team, man? You look weird and freak! ” Ha, who cares!

　　I just tried to use very very basic and easy words here in order to make each sentence more understandable and clean out any vocabulary blocks. I just hope you enjoy it and keep reading it day by day. Today, my test was fabulous! Tomorrow there is another one. Im gonna prepare it. Cya.( See ya)

　　A red dragon in the global economy

　　Many Chinese believe that for China to be strong its trade account must not be in the red. It must have a trade surplus to grow prosperous. So if we look back at 5000 years of Chinese history, it would be surprising that the time China’s trade was in the red was also just when the ‘middle kingdom’ was at its peak during that dynasty.

　　For example, during Han Dynasty, China ran a trade deficit for centuries with neighboring countries, and it was also the time China became the center of the Asia. Another obvious example is the Tang and Song Dynasty (from 7th century to 11th century), when China was again in a trade deficit with nearly all its neighbors. China was then experiencing shortages of gold, silver or even bronze, but none of this had blocked the red dragon from being the strongest nation at that time. But at the end of Song Dynasty, just decades before the Chinese were invaded and defeated by Mongolians, China became the main exporter in Asia and it was one of the several periods when China was weak. Historians cannot sim* conclude this as coincidence.

　　Recent history tells the same story. The end of 19th century was a nightmare for the ancient nation. Many blamed the trade deficit that resulted from opium trade as the plague which caused the weakness of China’s economy in the late Qing Dynasty. However, if we put opium trade aside, China was still a large exporter in the world while it imported little from the outside world. At some point, China’s trade partners had to use opium as a way to pay for their trade deficit with China. Earlier, in the middle of the 18th century, China could produce enough opium for domestic market and also become an exporter in normal definition, but it didn’t help China to be a stronger nation at all. When China launched its first industrialization campaign, it’s trade soon turned into red again, but this happened during the last struggle of Qing Dynasty in its dying years.

　　After its opening-up in 1978, China was in the red again for eleven years, with the exception of 1983. The government is implementing of a strategy of stimulating exports initially from China’s opening-up. It is a reasonable policy for a post-communism economy which is lack of an efficient fiancé system and a minimum-required foreign currency reserve.

　　Since 1990, China has been chalking up trade surplus with the exception of 1993. In 2004, the trade surplus of China amounts to $70 billion, of which $58.6 billion from Sino-US trade. With its expanding of trade surplus, its economic rapid growth continues for decades. At the same time, Chinese factories are famous for dumping cheap goods from advantages of its low-cost labors and poor environment standard. After all, China is developing, much faster than EU, US, Japan or any other major power of the world. There is no doubt that China is regaining its strength and will be a major economic power in the 21st century.

　　What will China bring to the globalization of economy? Even for a country of 1.2 billion population and 960 square kilometers, there is no unlimited sup* of cheap labor or unlimited tolerance of environment pollution. However, the demand of the 1.2 billion population market in a fast-growing economy could be the powerful engine of the global economy in human history. Some of Chinese key officials and scholars has turned to pro-deficit attitude on this debate and more and more people realize that China has no responsibility to sup* the world with cheap goods while the living standard of Chinese people are below average level. While those booming Chinese companies have shown their appetites for raw materials on the global market, the extravagance of Chinese wealthy family in cities has given hopes to global manufacturers.

　　Most of the pressure to grow imports comes from China’s trade partners, especially US and Japan. A strong wind calling for the revaluation of RMB has been blowing since the beginning of 2003, and some even criticize China as an exporter of deflation. At the same time, huge amounts of hot money flow into China despite capital controls that strictly limit money flows into this country. Chinese officials have openly refused to revaluate RMB under pressure and some even say that its a conspiracy to sacrifice China’s economy without bringing benefits to the global economy. But those strong words against the revaluation of RMB were more or less for internal politics. The government then began to boost the imports to ease the pressure on the currency.

　　Domestically, there are more and more criticisms against the stimulating-export policies, especially the tax reimbursement policy. The tax reimbursement to exporters has aggravated the fiscal deficit of the central government. The government has paid 125 billion RMB and 115 billion RMB for tax reimbursement. This appropriation was far from the amount incurred every year and up to the end of 2003, the tax reimbursement in arrears reached to 340 billion RMB ($41.06 billion). The profit margin rates of many exporters are below the reimbursement rate. As the default of payment accumulated year-by-year, some exporters have fallen into liquidity problem while waiting for the payment of tax reimbursement in arrears.

　　So China should not be afraid to become red in trade, like it has during many periods of greatness. If the dragon becomes be red for years or even decades, the most foreseeable consequence is that RMB will be an international currency. To support an international currency, China should build ‘a stable macroeconomic environment, an efficient market mechanism and a healthy banking system’ as Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao mentioned as the preconditions for a revaluation of RMB. It is easy to say what’s good but it is difficult to identify the problems and solve them. When the growth is still enough to sustain the system, who will be brave enough to cut the mess behind the rise? China should not be afraid to become red again.

　　Make your fate in control

　　Fate is determined by character, and character is determined by knowledge, desire and habit. If a person wants to change his fate, he has to change his character first; and if he wants to change his character, he has to change his knowledge or his desires and habits. Complaining to other people or the environments makes no sense.

　　Actually, everybody in this world will know about the meaning of life. It’s just the matter of time. A worker, who had just lost his job, met a university professor one day. He admitted that he didn’t love to study when he was a student. He just hated to study no matter what and how his father asked him to. When he got a job and became a worker, he realized how important to have knowledge in this world. But, it was too late…

　　There are no parents who don’t think studying is important for their children, and all the parents tell their children to study hard. We, however, still have so much difference on different children, on the results, that we finally will know it’ is the matter of self-control.

　　When we are kids in a primary school, we see no difference from each other. We just know somebody is good at Chinese, Math or Sports. We just know that the teacher likes him or her. Nowadays, we differentiate our classmates by their parents. We say: oh, god, his father is the vice mayor, his father is very rich; his mother is the dean of the biggest hospital…. This is definitely not a good sign for China and the Chinese people, because it makes no competition for the youngsters, who are having China’s future in hand.

　　The poor always hate the rich, because they see the rich driving all the luxury cars, living in condominiums, villas and spending money like they are countless. And the poor see the rich always on vocations, always so relaxed and enjoyable. So the poor are jealous and they wonder how can the rich be so rich and the poor are so poor. Well, the poor obviously forget one thing: When the rich are working hard and smart to collect money, the poor are lying somewhere and making complains.

　　Make your fate and success in control; you can make a difference in the future, unless you want to a poor person, both mentally and physically.

——英语文章阅读读后感

英语文章阅读读后感1

　　《儿童英语教学实用技巧》这本书是介绍了很多在教学实践中很有实用价值的、可操作性强的教学技巧，令人大开眼界。各个年级都担任过英语教学的我，触动最深的一章是儿童英语阅读教学。

　　在儿童英语阅读教学这一章讨论的是英语作为第二语言或外语教学中与儿童阅读相关的问题。而这些信息正是我国从事儿童英语教学的老师所迫切需要的。作者在开始部分就单刀直入地提出“什么是阅读？”，描述了处在不同母语发展阶段的儿童英语阅读，提供阅读教学的基本背景信息：阅读理解就是理解文章，获取信息，并享受其中的乐趣。阅读教学的核心就是教儿童如何总结他们所读的内容。人们阅读的主要目的主要有两个：首先阅读是一种娱乐形式，其次为了获取信息而阅读。这种阅读观扭正了我们长久以来阅读为了应试教学的畸形阅读观，还原了阅读的本来面目。说得多好啊：阅读是为了娱乐、阅读是为了获取信息，而不是为了做题目。只有这样，阅读才不会无味、教学才不会枯燥。作者在该书中描述了各种阅读策略和技巧，包括一些使用教材教授读写能力的具体建议。而这些正是我们想要的。在该节中，作者别开生面地介绍了许多别出心裁的阅读教学技巧。例如运用可预测的故事和语言练习图书等。

　　反观当今我国的英语教学中，虽然说了很长的一段时间要创新英语课堂，特别是阅读课的教学，但阅读教学还是相当单调的，方式还是相当单一的。不外乎是先教授新单词，然后解释一下文章的意思，再做一些练习题。《儿童英语教学实用技巧》一书中所介绍的阅读教学方法无论对于新教师或有经验的教师来说都是相当有实用价值的，正好填补了这方面信息的空白；而且操作起来也很容易，可以说是本少利大。

　　在阅读的过程中，我发现这本书有一个很大的特色，就是每一章节都会有一个“教学反思”，这一“教学反思”就该章节所阐述的观点明确地提出所要反思的内容，并且是“易位思考”，即当你是孩子时，你在学习该内容时的想法和做法，这给了我很大的.冲击，在实际教学过程中，要学会以学生的角度去思考问题。

　　《儿童英语教学实用技巧》这本书没有枯燥的理论说教、没有空泛而不切实际的教法指导、没有教法式教科书式的面面俱到。在阅读的过程中，发现有那么多新颖的教学理念、教学策略和教学技巧，同时，也会使自己不断反思、校正当下的教学实践。

　　The Language of Music

　　A painter hangs his or her finished picture on a wall, and everyone can see it. A composer writes a work, but no one can hear it until it is performed. Professional singers and players have great responsibilities, for the composer is utterly dependent on them. A student of music needs as long and as arduous a training to become a performer as a medical student needs to become a doctor. Most training is concerned with technique, for musicians have to have the muscular proficiency of an athlete or a ballet dancer. Singers practice breathing every day, as their vocal chords would be inadequate without controlled muscular support. String players practice moving the fingers of the left hand up and down, while drawing the bow to and fro with the right arm —— two entirely different movements.

　　Singers and instrumentalists have to be able to get every note perfectly in tune. Pianists are spared this particular anxiety, for the notes are already there, waiting for them, and it is the piano tuner"s responsibility to tune the instrument for them. But they have their own difficulties: the hammers that hit the strings have to be coaxed not to sound like percussion, and each overlapping tone has to sound clear.

　　This problem of getting clear texture is one that confronts student conductors: they have to learn to know every note of the music and how it should sound, and they have to aim at controlling these sounds with fanatical but selfless authority.

　　Technique is of no use unless it is combined with musical knowledge and understanding. Great artists are those who are so thoroughly at home in the language of music that they can enjoy performing works written in any century.

　　音乐的语言

　　画家将已完成的作品挂在墙上，每个人都可以观赏到。作曲家写完了一部作品，得由 演奏者将其演奏出来，其他人才能得以欣赏。因为作曲家是如此完全地依赖于职业歌手和职 业演奏者，所以职业歌手和职业演奏者肩上的担子可谓不轻。一名学音乐的学生要想成为一名演奏者，需要经受长期的、严格的训练，就象一名医科的学生要成为一名医生一样。绝大多数的训练是技巧性的。音乐家们控制肌肉的熟练程度，必须达到与运动员或巴蕾舞演员相当的水*。歌手们每天都练习吊嗓子，因为如果不能有效地控制肌肉的话，他们的声带将不能满足演唱的要求。弦乐器的演奏者练习的则是在左手的手指上下滑动的`同时，用右手前后拉动琴弓——两个截然不同的动作。

　　歌手和乐器演奏者必须使所有的音符完全相同协调。钢琴家们则不用操这份心，因为每个音符都已在那里等待着他们了。给钢琴调音是调 音师的职责。但调音师们也有他们的难处：他们必须耐心地调理敲击琴弦的音锤，不能让音锤发出的声音象是打击乐器，而且每个交叠的音都必须要清晰。

　　如何得到乐章清晰的纹理是学生指挥们所面临的难题：他们必须学会了解音乐中的每一个音及其发音之道。 他们还 必须致力于以热忱而又客观的权威去控制这些音符。除非是和音乐方面的知识和悟性结合起来，单纯的技巧没有任何用处。艺术家之所以伟大在于他们对音乐语言驾轻就熟，以致于可以满怀喜悦地演出写于任何时代的作品。

　　音乐方面的知识和悟性结合起来，单纯的技巧没有任何用处。艺术家之所以伟大在于他们对音乐语言驾轻就熟，以致于可以满怀喜悦地演出写于任何时代的作品。

　　Andrew Carnegie, known as the King of Steel, built the steel industry in the United States, and, in the process, became one of the wealthiest men in America. His success resulted in part from his ability to sell the product and in part from his policy of expanding during periods of economic decline, when most of his compe*s were reducing their investments.

　　Carnegie believed that individuals should progress through hard work, but he also felt strongly that the wealthy should use their fortunes for the benefit of society. He opposed charity, preferring instead to provide educational opportunities that would allow others to help themselves. "He who dies rich, dies disgraced, " he often said.Among his more noteworthy contributions to society are those that bear his name, including the Carnegie Institute of Pittsburgh, which has a library, a museum of fine arts, and a museum of national history. He also founded a school of technology that is now part of Carnegie-Mellon University. Other philanthropic gifts are the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace to promote understanding between nations, the Carnegie Institute of Washington to fund scientific research, and Carnegie Hall to provide a center for the arts.

　　Few Americans have been left untouched by Andrew Carnegie"s generosity. His contributions of more than five million dollars established 2,500 libraries in small communities throughout the country and formed the nucleus of the public library system that we all enjoy today.

　　被称作钢铁大王的安德鲁·卡内基在美国建立了钢铁工业。在这个过程中，他变成了美国最富有的人之一。 他的成功，部分来自于他销售产品的能力，部分来自于经济萧条时期的扩充策略。在萧条时期，他的"多数对手都在缩减投资。

　　卡内基认为个人应该通过努力工作来获得进展，但他也强烈地感到有钱人应该运用他们的财富来为社会谋 取福利。他反对施舍救济，更愿意提供教育机会，使别人自立。卡内基经常说："富有着死去的人死得可耻。"他对社会的较重要的贡献都以他的名字命名。这些贡献包括匹兹堡卡内基学校。这个学校有一个图书馆，一个美术馆和一个国家历史博物馆;他还创立了一所技术学校，这所学校现在是卡内基梅隆大学的一部分;其他的慈善捐赠有为促进国家间了解的"卡内基国际和*基金"，为科学研究提供经费的华盛顿卡内基学院以及给各种艺术活动提供活动中心的卡内基音乐厅。

　　安德鲁·卡内基的慷慨大度几乎影响到每个美国人的生活。由于他超过五百万美元的捐款，2500 个图书馆得以建立起来，遍布在美国各地的小村镇，形成了我们今天还在享用的公共图书馆系统的核心。

　　经典励志美文：《人就这么一辈子》

　　我常以"人就这么一辈子"这句话告诫自己并劝说朋友。这七个字，说来容易，听来简单，想起来却很深沉。它能使我在软弱时变得勇敢，骄傲时变得谦虚，颓废时变得积极，痛苦时变得欢愉，对任何事拿得起也放得下，所以我称它为"当头棒喝"、"七字箴言"。——我常想世间的劳苦愁烦、恩恩怨怨，如有不能化解的，不能消受的，不也就过这短短的几十年就烟消云散了吗?若是如此，又有什么解不开的呢?

　　人就这么一辈子，想到了这句话，如果我是英雄，便要创造更伟大的功业;如果我是学者，便要获取更高的学问;如果我爱什么人，便要大胆地告诉她。因为今日过去便不再来了;这一辈子过去，便什么都消逝了。一本书未读，一句话未讲，便再也没有机会了。这可珍贵的一辈子，我必须好好地把握住它啊!

　　人就这么一辈子，你可以积极地把握它;也可以淡然地面对它。想不开想想它，以求释然吧!精神颓废时想想它，以求感恩吧!因为不管怎样，你总是很幸运地拥有这一辈子，不能白来这一遭啊。

　　没有错，我们走过的每一步路，都将成为往事，无论它们是欢乐的相逢，还是痛苦的.别离，但是请你相信，无论是热切的期待，还是深情的追忆，我们所唱过的每一支歌，都不会转瞬消失，如同罗莎?卢森堡所言："无论我走到哪里，只要我活着，天空、云彩和生命的美，都将与我同在!"

　　狭隘而自私的心灵，可以变成自己的地狱，广阔而开朗的心灵，却可以成为他人的天堂。地狱和天堂，只有一层之隔。

　　而一切嫉妒的火焰，总是从燃烧自己开始的。

　　一位年老的作家告诉我说："你的双脚，踏碎了多少时间?但不要懊悔吧，只要踏得真实，谁的步子，都会有深浅。"

　　在你终于赢得成功的鲜花的时候，难道你不怀念往昔的路口?在你重新营造成功的华贵的屋宇里，难道你不怀念昔日的木头?

　　Police and Communities

　　Few institutions are more important to an urban community than its police, yet there are few subjects historians know so little about. Most of the early academic interests developed among political scientists and sociologists, who usually examined their own contemporary problems with only a nod toward the past. Even the public seemed concerned only during crime waves, periods of blatant corruption, or after a particularly grisly episode. Party regulars and reformers generally viewed the institution from a political perspective; newspapers and magazines - the nineteenth century"s media - emphasized the vivid and spectacular.

　　Yet urban society has always vested a wide, indeed awesome, responsibility in its police. Not only were they to maintain order, prevent crime, and protect life and property, but historically they were also to fight fires, suppress vice, assist in health services, supervise elections, direct traffic, inspect buildings, and locate truants and runaways. In addition, it was assumed that the police were the special guardians of the citizens" liberties and the community"s tranquillity. Of course, the performance never matched expectations. The record contains some success, but mostly failure; some effective leadership, but largely official incompetence and betrayal. The notion of a professional police force in America is a creation of the twentieth century; not until our own time have cities begun to take the steps necessary to produce modern departments.

　　警察与社区

　　对城市社区来说，很少有比它的警察更为重要的机构了，但少有课题像历史学家们对此了解得那样少。早期的学术兴趣是在政治科学家和社会学家中发展起来的，他们一般只研究他们自己当代的问题而对过去的问题只是偶尔带过。甚至公众似乎也仅仅在犯罪浪潮、明目张胆的贪腐或特别的恐怖事件发生时才关心。政党的忠诚支持者和改革家们通常是从政治的前途来看待警察这个机构;而报纸和杂志-19 世纪的传播媒介-则着重活泼生动和惊人的事件。可是城市社会总是把广泛得可怕的责任交给警察。他们不仅维持秩序、防止犯罪、保护生命财产，而且在过去还要救火、镇压罪恶、协助医疗服务、监督选举、指挥交通、检查建筑物、寻找逃学学生和搜捕逃犯。 除此以外，警察还被认为是公民自由和社会稳定的特别保护者。自然，警察的表现并不尽如人意。他们的记录中有成功者，但多数是失败的;有高效率的领导，但多半的人在职务上无能和不讲信用。专业警察部队的概念在美国还是20 世纪的`产物;直到我们这个时代，一些城市才开始采取设立现代化部门的必要步骤。

　　Food and Health

　　The food we eat seems to have profound effects on our health. Although science has made enormous steps in making food more fit to eat, it has, at the same time, made many foods unfit to eat. Some research has shown that perhaps eighty percent of all human illnesses are related to diet and forty percent of cancer is related to the diet as well, especially cancer of the colon. Different cultures are more prone to contract certain illnesses because of the food that is characteristic in these cultures. That food is related to illness is not a new discovery. In 1945, government researchers realized that nitrates and nitrites, commonly used to preserve color in meats, and other food additives, caused cancer. Yet, these carcinogenic additives remain in our food, and it becomes more difficult all the time to know which things in the packaging labels of processed food are helpful or harmful. The additives which we eat are not all so direct. Farmers often give penicillin to beef and poultry, and because of this, penicillin has been found in the milk of treated cows. Sometimes similar drugs are administered to animals not for medicinal purposes, but for financial reasons. The farmers are sim* trying to fatten the animals in order to obtain a higher price on the market. Although the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has tried repeatedly to control these procedures, the practices continue.

　　食品与健康

　　我们所吃的食物似乎对我们的健康有深远的影响。尽管科学上已取得许多进展，使食物更适合我们食用，但与此同时它也使许多食物不宜食用了。一些研究已经表明，人类大概有80%的疾病与饮食有关，40%的癌症，特别是结肠癌，也与饮食有关。不同的文化会使人们更易患某些疾病，这是由这些文化的人们喜好的食物所致。食物与疾病有关并不是新发现。1945 年，*部门的科研工作者了解到，被广泛用于肉类以保持肉类色泽的硝酸盐、亚硝酸盐和其他的添加剂可诱发癌症。可是这些致癌物质依然存在于我们的食物之中。与此同时，要想知道加工食品标签上的哪些成分对健康有利，哪些成分对健康不利，变得更加困难了。我们吃到的这些添加物并非都是如此直接的。农民常给牛和家禽注射青霉素，因而在受过注射的牛所产牛奶里发现青霉素。有时让家禽服用这类药物并非是为了治病，而是为了经济上的缘故。农民们只是想使家畜长得更肥壮可以上市场上卖到好价钱。虽然食物和药品管理局已一再设法控制这种情况的发生，但是这种行为仍在继续。

　　Everyone is attracted by beauty and beauty is powerful. But what is true beauty? Perhaps you can get the answer from the following story.

　　This morning I went to the market to buy some vegetables with my parents. On the way we all highly praised a young man in western-style clothes and leather shoes who was riding by. But he rode so fast that he knocked an old lady down carelessly.Instead of stopping， he pretended not to see this and rode away quickly. We were all very angry with the young man. To our happiness， a girl in plain dress ran forward at once， helped the lady up and took her home. We all praised the girl.

　　From this we know we cannot judge a person by his appearance. A person who is dressed beautifully may not have a beautiful soul. Only a person who has a beautiful soul is really beautiful.

　　《 Notre Dame cathedral》 is one known far and wide romantic faction strength which Victor Hugo writes . I take advantage of this summer vacation free time， read this great work.

　　Notre Dame cathedral"s story， actually was one at that time social epic poem， since brimmed with really. Friendly. Beautiful， also the flow selfish desire and is false. Regardless of is good beautiful Asmelada ，or has the ugly semblance， Cacimodo with one pure mind， they represent the great amount the lower level populace which suppresses； Perhaps is sinister Coloud， he is appears by the theocracy face， all load bearing one kind of author"s ponder.The author in this work， for with the clown， was beautifully friendly and wickedly does the best annotation， or take above three people as the example， the rebel Asmelada has the beautiful semblance and the chaste good mind， as well as pitiful destiny， but Cacimodo， he withstood destiny deceive nicely， the innermost feelings is his misery is graver， but Coloud maintained the benighted social rights and interests， he had brutally. Void mind and evil passion. Good person physique hateful， but the evil person actually says the appearance shore however， bright set off， social unfair manifest.

　　But the article result also is when the opposition society until criticism： All beautiful is good all swallows by the might and the evil， the lower level people"s weak strength in under the king power rule， in the benighted society， only can be reduced to ashes. Was palatial Notre Dame cathedral， how many world tragedy testimony once， in Hugo the novel， he as if had the life breath， he sheltered Asmelada ，exposed Coloud the crime， regret the populace attack the magnificent feat which dark actually heroically devoted……

　　Another the question which is worth pondering is： Who is the hero？ Asmelada or Cacimodo？ I think all is not， but is in the article by the Louis 11 rank smell of blood suppression rather for sacreficed the populace gate， Asmelada with Cacimodo is not in them the representative， Asmelada is loves with the beautiful symbol， Cacimodo not many represents is unfortunate and the pain. But they， all suffer a tragic middle ages ignorant evil forces devastate， one each one painful soul is bleeding， flows the tear. Merely is Notre Dame cathedral"s above engraves " the destiny "？ They are in middle ages France， despotism sacrificial victim.

　　The entire story rich tragic color， the plot intense is moving， exciting. Author Hugo through " Notre Dame cathedral " this story， but also disclosed at that time the dark society"s essence to the people. This fascinating story likes that Ccimodo clocks sound equally shocks several generation of readers" minds.
