While discussing this subject, Id like to mention four indispensable principles: diligence, devotion, constancy, and punctuality.All things can be conquered by dilig

13、ence. It makes the foolish wise, the poor rich, and the humble noble. It produces a wonderful effect. In learning, the work of a diligent fool doubles that of a lazy wit.Devotion means to set our heart on one thing at a time and give up all other thoughts. Never think of learning another subject whi

14、le studying one subject. Those who often change their studies will never succeed in the long run. Therefore, in order to be successful we need devotion.Constancy makes success a certainty. On the other hand, inconstancy often results in failure. If we study day after day, there is nothing that canno

15、t be achieved. We should remember a worthy proverb Constant dropping of water wears away a stone.Besides, there is another rule that contributes to ones accomplishments, that is, punctuality. The habit of keeping regular hours is of extreme importance to successful learning. Work while you work; pla

16、y while you play. Every man will certainly become strong and wise if he does so.如果定下几条基本的行为准则，学有成效并非难事。在讨论这个问题时，我想提到4条必不可少的学习准则：勤奋用功、专心致志、持之以恒、讲究准时。勤奋可以征服一切。勤奋可以使愚人变聪明，使穷人成为富人，使卑贱者成为高贵者。勤奋产生神奇的效 果。在学习上，一个以勤补拙的人的实效会成倍于一个懒惰的聪明人。专心致志指一次全神贯注于一件事，摒除一切杂念。在学习某一科目时，千万别想起另一门学科的学习。 那些时常改变学习内容的人终究将一事无成。因此，为了成功

17、需要专心专意学习。持之以恒是成功的保证。反之，缺乏恒心常常导致失败。如果我们日复一日地坚持学习，就没有达不到的目的。我们应记住条有价值的谚语水滴石穿第 页5、此外，还有一条帮助人们取得成就的规则，即准时。养成按时的习惯对于卓有成效的学习极为重要。工作时工作，游戏时游戏。如果这样做了，每个人都会变得既强健又聪明。We Need Friends （我们需要朋友）The word, friend, covers a wide range of meanings. It can be a nodding acquaintance, a comrade, a confidant, a partner,

18、a playmate, an intimate colleague, etc.Everyone needs friendship. No one can sail the ocean of life single-handed. We need help from, and also give help to, others. In modern society, people attach more importance to relations and connections. A man of charisma has many friends. His power lies in hi

19、s ability to give.As life is full of strife and conflict, we need friends to support and help us out of difficulties. Our friends give us warnings against danger. Our friends offer us advice with regard to how do deal with various situations. True friends share not only our joys but also our sorrows

20、.With friendship, life is happy and harmonious. Without friendship, life is sad and unfortunate. I have friends in high positions and friends in the rank and file. Some are rich and in power. Some are relatively poor and without power. Some are like myself, working as a teacher, reading and writing,

21、 content with a simple life. We all care for each other, love and help each other. We feel we are happiest when we chat and exchange ideas with one another. With my friends, I know what to treasure, what to tolerate and what to share.I will never forget my old friends, and Ill keep making new friend

22、s. I will not be cold and indifferent to my poor friends, and I will show concern for them, even if it is only a comforting word.朋友”这个词的意义很广。朋友可以是点头之交、同志、知已、伙伴、玩伴、亲密的同事等。人人都需要友谊，没有人能独自在人生的海洋中航行。我们给人以帮助，也需要别人的帮助。在现代社会， 人们更重视关系和联系。一个有非凡魅力的人有许多朋友，他的力量在于他的奉献能力。生活充满矛盾和斗争，我们需要朋友的支持，以帮助我们摆脱困境。朋友提醒我们警惕险滩。朋友

23、主动给 我们以忠告，告诉我们如何应付各种不同的局势。真正的朋友与我们同甘共苦。有了友谊，生活幸福、和谐；没有友谊，生活变得悲伤、不幸。我有地位高的朋友，也有地位低的朋友； 有的有钱有权，有的较穷且无权无势。有的和我一样教书，读读写写，满足于简朴的生活。我们都互相关心，互相 爱护，互相帮助。我们觉得朋友们在一起闲谈交流思想时感到最开心。对我的朋友们，我知道该珍惜什么，容忍什 么，分享什么。决不会忘记老朋友，同时继续结交新朋友。我对穷朋友绝不冷漠，而是关心他们，哪怕只是一句安慰的 话。Hard Work Is Good for Health （ 努力工作有利于健康）Scientists find

24、that hard-working prestigious people live longer than average men and women, and that career women are healthier than housewives. Evidence shows that the jobless are in poorer health than the job-holders. An investigation shows that whenever the unemployment rate increases by 1%, the death rate incr

25、eases correspondingly by 2%.第3页All this comes down to one point: work is helpful to health.Why is work good for health? It is because work keeps people busy, away from loneliness and solitude. Researches show that people feel unhappy, worried and solitary when they have nothing to do. Instead, the h

26、appiest are those who are busy. Many high achievers who love their careers feel that they are happiest when they are working hard. Work serves as a bridge between man and reality. Through work, people come into contact with each other. And through collective activity, they find friendship and warmth

27、. This is helpful to health. The loss of work means the loss of everything. It affects man spiritually and makes him liable to disease.Besides, work gives one a sense of fulfillment and a sense of achievement. Work makes one feel his value and status in society. When a writer finishes his writing wh

28、en a doctor successfully operates on a patient, and when a teacher sees his students grow, they are happy beyond words.From the above we can come to the conclusion that the more you work the happier and healthier you will be. Let us work hard and study well and live a happy and healthy life.1、科学家们发现

29、努力工作的名人比一般人寿命长，职业妇女比家庭妇女健康。有证据表明，失业者比在业人 员健康状况差。调查表明失业率每增长1%,死亡率相应增长 2%。所有这些都表明：工作有利于健康。2、为什么工作对健康有好处？因为工作使人忙碌，让人不会感到寂寞、孤独。研究表明，人们无事可做时会感到不愉快、忧虑、孤独。相反，忙于工作的人感到最愉快。许多热爱事业、卓有成就的人感到在努力工作时最幸福。 工作起到人与现实之间的桥梁作用：通过工作，人们彼此接触；通过集体活动，人们得到友谊和温暖。这有利于健 康。失去工作就是失去一切，它影响人的精神，使人容易患病。3、此外，工作给人以充实感和成就感。工作使人感到自身价值和社会地

How joyful and relaxing it is to have a game of table tennis after a day of study at school! And how exciting it is

31、 to play or watch a close game of basketball or volleyball! All over the world millions of people take part in different kinds of sports. Sports are perhaps the most popular form of relaxation that almost all can enjoy, whether boys or girls, men or women, young or old.Some people seem to think that

32、 sports and games are unimportant things that people do at times when they are not working, instead of going to the cinema, watching TV , listening to the radio, or sleeping. But in fact sports and games can be of great value, especially to people who work with their brains. They should not be treat

33、ed only as amusements.Sports and games build our bodies, prevent us from gaining weights, and keep us healthy. But these are not their only uses. They give us valuable practice in helping the eyes, brain and muscles to work together. In table tennis, the eyes see the ball coming, judge its speed and

34、 direction, and pass this information on to the brain. The brain then has to decide what to do, and sends its orders to the muscles of the arms, legs, and so on, so that the ball is met and hit back where the player wants it to go. All this must happen with very great speed, and only those who have

35、had a lot of practice at table tennis can do this successfully. For those who work with their brains, the practice of such skills is especially useful.Sports and games are also very useful for character-training. In their lessons at school, boys and girls may learn about such virtues as selflessness

36、, courage, discipline and love of ones country, but what is learned in books cannot have the same deep effect on a childs character as what is learned through experience. The ordinary school cannot give much practical training in living, because most of the students time is spent in classes, studyin

37、g lessons. So what the students do in their spare time is of great importance. If each of them learns to go all out for his team and not for himself on the sports field, he wilt later find it natural to work for the good of society and for the good of his country.1、夏天跳进池塘或到江河里游泳多么有趣！一天的学习之后打一场乒乓球赛多么

38、令人轻松愉快！参加或观看一场势均力敌的篮球赛或排球赛多么令人兴奋！全世界千百万人们参加各种各样的运动。体育运动大概是几乎所有人都喜爱的最普遍的令人松弛的娱乐形式，男女老少都很喜欢体育运动。2、有些人似乎认为体育活动不是什么重要的事情，只是人们在不工作的时候，不看电影，不看电视，不听广 播，不睡觉时才去参加的活动。其实，体育运动很有价值，特别是对脑力劳动者大有好处。体育运动不应仅仅被当 作娱乐活动来对待。3、体育运动增强体质，防止我们发胖，使我们保持身体健康。但体育运动的作用不仅仅限于这些方面。体育 运动给我们的眼睛、大脑和肌肉以宝贵的锻炼，促使它们协同工作。打乒乓球时，眼睛看到球打过来，判断其

39、速度 和方向，马上将这个信息传给大脑。接着大脑得决定怎么办，并立即将其命令传达给手臂、腿等人体部分的肌肉， 结果球被击回到运动员希望它着落的地方。整个行动必须以最快的速度发生，只有那些训练有素的人才能成功地完 成。对那些脑力劳动者来说，这样的技能实践特别管用，尤其有益。4、体育运动对性格的培养也很有益处。男孩女孩们在课堂上也许对不自私自利、富有勇气、遵守纪律、热爱 祖国这样的美德有所了解，但是从书本上学到的东西不可能像通过亲身体验了解到的东西一样对孩子的品质产生深刻的影响。普通的学校不可能在生活方面给孩子们很多实用的培养，因为他们的大部分时间用于上课，花在学习功 课上。所以，学生们在课余时间所

40、做的事非常重要。如果每个学生在球场上学会了为自己的球队而不是为他自己竭 尽全力，那么他以后会感到为社会的利益、为祖国的利益而工作是理所当然的了。How Americans View Love（美国人的爱情观）An old song says that love makes the world go around. If you watch Americans on Valentines Day, you can believe it. The whole country breaks out with little red hearts. Love-struck people give car

41、ds, flowers and candy to their sweethearts. You might call it an annual celebration of love.The American concept of love and romance begins with dating. Young people date in several ways. At first they might have group dates with several boys and girls together. Later, they start going on single dat

42、es just one boy and one girl. Sometimes a boy and a girl will go to a movie. Maybe they will go to a party at a friends house. Or they might go out to eat.When two couple go out together, its called double dating. A friend might even arrange a blind date for you with someone you dont know. That does

43、nt mean you keep your eyes closed the whole evening! You just dont know who your partner will be until the time of the date. If someone asks you out on any kind of date, and you dont want to go, you may politely say, No, thanks.Americans view dating differently from people in other culture. American

44、 young people see a date as a time just to have fun. They dont always have a romantic interest in mind. Someone may go out with one person this week, and another第5页第 页第 页person the next. After a while, a boy and a girl may decide they want to go steady. This means they think of each other as boyfrie

45、nd and girlfriend. It also means they dont want to date anyone else. Romance is beginning to bloom.Romantic love is very much a part of American culture. Movies, TV shows and books in America all picture people falling in love. Americans know no romance is perfect, but still they try to find the ide

46、al person. Actually, love is a pan of every culture, not just American culture. People all over the world search for happiness in a loving relationship. Maybe love does make the world go around.1、有一首老歌中唱道爱让世界转动如果你看到美国人是如何庆祝情人节的，你便会相信这句话。这一天在美国不论你走到哪里都能看到一颗颗小红心。坠入爱河中的人向自己的心上人赠送卡片、鲜花和糖果。你可以将 情人节称之为一年一

47、度的爱的庆贺日。2、美国人的爱情和浪漫始于约会。年轻人有几种约会方式。最开始，他们可能是好几个男孩和女孩都参加的 集体约会。之后，他们单独出去约会一一只有一男一女。有时他们会去看电影，也可能一起去参加朋友的聚会，或一起出去吃饭。3、如果两对男女一起出去，这叫做双重约会。一个朋友还可能为你和陌生人安排一个蒙眼约会那并不是说你整个晚上都紧闭双目。只是在约会之前你并不知道你的约会对象是谁。如果有人请你出去约会，不管是哪种约 会，假若你不想去，你都可以礼貌地说声不，谢谢！”4、对于约会，美国人与别的文化国度的人有不同的看法。美国的年轻人把约会看成是玩得开心的时间，并不 一定就抱着浪漫的念头。有的人可能

48、这星期与一个人出去，下星期又与另外一个人出去。经过一段时间后，一个男 孩和一个女孩可能决定保持稳定的关系。这意味着他们把彼此看成男朋友和女朋友”，这也意味着他们不想与别的人约会。浪漫之花开始绽放。5、浪漫爱情是美国文化的重要组成部分。美国的电影、电视和书籍都描绘人们如何坠入爱河。美国人知道没 有哪段爱情是完美的，但他们还是努力去寻找自己的意中人。事实上，爱不仅仅是美国文化，而是每种文化的组成 部分。全世界的人们都在爱中寻求幸福。也许确实是爱使世界转动。Our Family Creed （家族的信条）They are the principles on which my wife and I h

They are the principles, many of them, which I learned at my mothers knee.They point the way to usefulness and happiness in life, to courage and peace in death.If they mean to you

50、what they mean to me, they may perhaps be helpful also to our sons for their guidance and inspiration.Let me state them:I believe in the supreme worth of the individual and in his right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.I believe that every right implies a responsibility; every opportun

52、an opportunity to make a living.I believe that thrift is essential to well-ordered living and that economy is a prime requisite of a sound financial structure, whether in government, business, or personal affairs.I believe that truth and justice are fundamental to an enduring social order.I believe

53、in the sacredness of a promise, that a mans word should be as good as his bond, that character not wealth or power or position is of supreme worth.I believe that the rendering of useful service is the common duty of mankind and that only in the purifying fire of sacrifice is the dross of selfishness

54、 consumed and the greatness of the human soul set free.I believe in an all-wise and all-loving God, named by whatever name, and that the individuals highest fulfillment, greatest happiness, and widest usefulness are to be found in living in harmony with his will.I believe that love is the greatest t

56、ny of them are suffering and dying.These are the principles upon which alone a new world recognizing the brotherhood of man and the fatherhood of God can be established.些是我和我太太在教育子女的时候所尽力倚仗的信条，这些是我父亲所深信并以之为人生律条的信条， 这些信条中的大部分是我从母亲的膝下秉承而来的。些信条告诉人们如何快乐而有所作为地活着，也告诉人们如何勇敢而安详地面对死亡。如这些信条于诸位的意义如同它们于我的意义，那么也

57、许它们可以有效地指导和鼓舞我们的儿女们。我说出这些信条：相信，个人拥有无上的价值，拥有生存、自由和追求幸福的权利。相信，每一项权利都必然包含着责任，每一个机遇都必然包含着义务，每一种获得都必然包含着职责。相信，法律为人而制，而非人为法律而生，政府是人民的公仆，而非人民的主人。相信，无论体力劳动还是脑力劳动都是高尚的，世界不会让人不劳而获，而会给人一次谋生的机会。相信，无论在政府、商业还是个人事务中，勤俭节约都是合理安排生活之基本要素，而经济适用是健全 的金融机制之必需。我相信，真理和正义是任何一个长治久安的社会秩序之基础。我相信，承诺是神圣的；我也相信，假如人的言语能和契约同样可靠，那么这种品

58、质一而非财富、权势与身份地位就具有至高无上的价值。我相信，人类共同的职责是有用地服务社会，只有在自我牺牲的炼火中，自私的沉渣才会被焚为灰烬，人 类灵魂中的伟大情操才会显现。我相信，有一位无所不知、大慈大悲的上帝存在一一尽管人们对他的称呼各不相同一一人们能在与他的意志相和谐的生活过程中得到最高的满足感、最大的幸福感，以及最广博的成就感。我相信，世界上最伟大的事物就是爱，只有爱能够战胜仇恨，而真理能够而且必定能击败强权。无论怎样表达，以上就是那些信条一世界上所有不计种族、信仰、宗教、地位或职业的善良的人们所代表的信条一一而且正是为了这些信条，他们中许多人正在忍受折磨，甚至正在死去。16、只有凭借这

59、些信条，人类才能建立起人人如手足、上帝如慈父的新世界。Americas Luckiest Stamp Find （美国最幸运的邮票的发现）The first United States airmail stamp has had an interesting story. Printed in 1918, this 24-cent stamp with a blue plane inside a rose border became the center of much attention. One hundred of the stamps sold to the public became

60、 known as inverts, for the plane was printed upside down. Some of these upside-down airmail stamps are now worth over $6,000.The story of these stamps began on May 14, 1918, the day after they were placed on sale. In Washington, D.C., W.T.Robey, a man interested in stamps, decided to buy a sheet of
