现象—那个房子神秘地消失了，取而代之的是一个丑陋的，跟他家类似的小房子，房子的窗户很普通而且很脏。打开房门，他才发现那是一个杂乱不堪的，被废弃的磨坊。房屋中间的磨具上覆盖着的厚厚的灰尘和老鼠的足印，旁边是一个粗糙的驴鞍和脏兮兮的麻袋片。房屋角落里，老式的搁物架满是裂纹，一只蜘蛛正在上面结网，架子下面是一些草席的碎片。房屋另一个角落是一堆乱糟糟的稻草，一把锈迹斑斑的铁锹和满是漏洞的水桶。小男孩非常失望。正当他准备离开的时候，小男孩吃惊地发现——隔着山谷在低处的那个山峰上，他家的房子闪烁着金光——当时正午的太阳带正照耀着房子的窗玻璃……这个故事启示我们不能对现实生活中的幸福视而不见。我们需要不断调整和转变我们一贯的观念，发现并享受属于我们的快乐。3.Theviewoutofwindow窗外的风景Twomen,bothinseriousillness,occupiedthesamewardofahospital.Onemanwasallowedtositupinhisbedforanhouradaytoundergotherapyanddrainthefluidfromhislungs.Hisbedwasnexttotheroom’sonlywindow.Theothermanhadtolieflatonhisbackallthetime.Thetwomentalkedforhoursonend.Theytalkedabouttheirfamilies,theirjobs,theirexperiencesinthemilitaryserviceandawholelotofthings.Everyafternoonwhenthemaninthebednexttothewindowcouldsitup,hewouldpassthetimebydescribingtohisroommatealltheoutdoorthingshecouldseethroughthewindow.Themanintheotherbedwouldliveforthoseone-hourperiodswhenhisworldwouldbebroadenedandrestoredtofreshnessbyalltheactivitiesandviewoftheoutsideworld.Thewindowoverlookedaparkwithalovelystreamandastonebridge,themansaid.Ducksandgeeseplayedinthewaterwhilekidssailedtheirmodelboatsagangofladsplayedvolleyballonthelawnnearbythebridge.Loverswalkedarminarmamidbloomsofbrilliantcolors.Arangeofgrandoaksandsomeflourishingpalmsgracedthespectacularlandscape.Asthemanbythewindowdescribedalltheseinvividdetails,themanortheothersideoftheroomwouldclosehiseyesandimaginethemagneticscenery,whichgavehimdeepimpression.Onefineafternoonthemanbythewindowdescribedatroop(procession)ofsoldiersstridingacrossthesquareofdowntown.Althoughtheothermancouldnotheartheband,hewascharmedbytheinvisiblescene.Unexpectedly,athoughtenteredhishead:whyshouldhehaveallthepleasureofseeingeverythingwhileInevergettoseeanything?Itseemedunfair.Asthethoughtaroseinhismind,themanfeltupsetandannoyedatfirst.Butwithseveraldayspassing,hisinward(internal)envyturnedintoresentmentandsoonturnedhimsour.Heturnedindifferentandisolated,almostneglectedallthesurroundings.Then,awickedintentioncontrolledhislife-heshouldliebythatwindow.Healmostcouldn’twithstandthetortureofhisintention,andsighedfromdawntodusk.Finally,hishealthbecameworseandworse,butthedoctorscouldn’tfindthecause.Lateronenight,ashelaystaringattheceiling,abruptly,themanbythewindowbegantocough.Hewaschokedbythefluidinhislungs.Theothermanpeeredhispanicexpressionandquiveringfingersinthedimroomasthemanbythewindowexertedallhisstrengthforthebuttontocallforhelp.Atthecriticalmoment,listeningtohiscrawling(creeping)soundacrosstheroom,theothermandisguisedthathehadbeenfallenasleep,nevermoved,neverpresseddownhisownhandybuttonwhichwouldhavebroughtthenursecoming.Itlastedaboutfiveminutes,andthenthesoundofcoughandbreathstopped.Therewasonlysilence-deathlysilence.Thefollowingmorning,thedaynursearrivedtobringwaterfortheirbaths.Whenshefoundtherigidlifelessbodyofthemanbythewindow,withenormousgrief,shecalledthehospitalmaidtotakeitaway–nowords,nofuss.Assoonasitseemedtobeanappropriateopportunity,themanaskedifthecouldbemovednexttothewindow.Thenursewasgladtomaketheswitch,andaftermakingsurehewascomfortable,shelefthimalone.Slowly,withtheacuteache,hesustainedhimselfupononeelbow,andstrainedtoturntolookoutofthewindow.Itwasincrediblethathefacedablankwall.3.窗外的风景两名患有重病的男人住在同一间病房。每天下午其中的一位都要在床头坐上一个小时以接受治疗并排空肺部的积液。他的病床临窗，那是病房里唯一的窗子。另一位却不得不整天卧在病床上。两个人一聊就是数小时。他们谈各自的家庭、工作和当兵的经历，真是无所不谈。每天下午当临窗的男人从床上坐起时，他都要向自己的室友描述窗外看到的一切，以此来打发时光。临床的男人开始为这一小时而活着，只有这一刻听着对有关窗外世界的一切活动和景色的描述，他的世界才变得开阔并恢复了生机。透过窗户可以看到一个公园，公园里面有条小溪和一座石桥。鸭子和鹅在水中嬉戏，小孩们玩着自己心爱的模型船。一群少年在草地上打排球。年轻的情侣携手漫步于姹紫嫣红的花丛中。一排伟案的橡树和几棵茂盛的棕榈树美化着这引人入胜的风景、、、、、、、当窗外的男士娓娓道出这一切时，房里另一边的男士就会闭上眼睛想象那如画的风景。一幅幅美丽的风景给他留下了深刻的印象。一个晴朗的下午，窗外的人描述起外面一队士兵正大踏步的穿过市区的广场。虽然听不见乐队的奏乐声，但他还是被这看不见的场景吸引了。出乎意料的是，不靠窗的病人突然产生了一个想法：为什么偏偏是他有幸观赏到窗外的一切？为什么自己没有机会得到这种机会的？这似乎不公平。起初，他为自己的这种想法感到不安和烦恼。几天后，他内心的妒忌变成了愤怒，脾气也变坏了。他变得冷漠孤僻，无视周围的一切。然后，一个邪恶的想法形成了-他应该躲在靠窗的病床上。他整天唉声叹气，难以承受这一想法的折磨。结果，病情一天天加重了。医生们对其病因不得而知。一天晚上，他照例睁着双眼盯着天花板，他的同伴突然开始咳嗽，积液已经充满了他的肺腔。在光线暗淡的房间里，他瞥了一眼同伴惊慌的表情，他两手颤抖着，在摸索电铃的按钮，只要电铃一响，值班的护士就会立即赶来。在那关键时刻，听着病友在房间里爬行的声音，他却假装已经入睡、纹丝不动地看着，没有按下手边的按钮。大约5分钟以后，咳嗽声和呼吸声都停止了，四围死一般的寂静。第二天早上，日间护士端水到病房，却只发现了窗边那个男人僵直的躯体，他已经在睡梦中安详地死去。她十分悲痛，打电话叫医院的护工将尸体抬走。等到一个适当的机会，病房里的另一个男人请求搬到靠窗的床铺。护士很乐意，帮他调换了床铺，把一切安排妥当，她就走了。伴着剧烈的疼痛，他缓慢而艰难地用单肘支撑起自己，挣扎着向窗外望去。令他难以置信的是-他发现自己面对的是一面空白的墙壁。4.Fourwivesinourlife生命中的四位爱人Informerdays,therewasawealthymerchant,whoownedbillionacresoffertileland,aconsiderablesumofpropertyandmultiplecompounds(estates).Hewastheacknowledgedleaderathomeandhadfourwives.Hehadthegreatestaffectiononthefourthwife,whoenjoyedthebeautifulbrowsandface-afairyinhiseyes.Toamuseher,themerchantgaveheralifeofluxury,boughtherfashionableblousesandboots,andtookherouttodineondeliciousfood.Eachoftheirmarriageanniversary,hewouldcelebrate.Hewasalsofondofhisthirdwifeverymuch.Shewasanamateurpoetwithgreatliteracyanddignity.Toapproveofher,hegaveherprevailingpoetryaspresent,visitmuseumswithhertoseetheantiquesandwenttotheconcertstoenjoymusicofgreatmusiciansandpianists.Hewasveryproudoffher,introducedandshowedoffhertohisfriends.Nevertheless,hewasalwaysingreatfearthatshemigh

突时，勇于为自己辩护，但是，也要有耐心倾听对手的声音，切记武力并不能解决所有问题。我希望你能学一门手艺，比方说开起重机或修半导体收音机等。一技在身，吃穿不愁。我希望你知道这个世界上不仅有掌声、勋章和皇冠，也会有失败、挫折和困境；不仅有和平、平等和合作，也会有争论、冲突和矛盾，甚至会有陷阱、残忍和欺骗。我希望你对伤残人士表现出同情。我希望你能真诚地帮助别人，做些力所能及的小事。比如，帮妈妈用吸尘器清扫房间，帮史密斯先生换汽车轮胎或是在路上让别人搭车等等。我真的希望你曾带着指南针和手电筒，爬上过高山。我也希望没有人在你20岁之前送你一辆轿车。我的宝贝孙子，我希望你们学会做计划，不要花光所有的零花钱，不要让时间在不经意间流逝。我亲爱的孙子，最后希望你，工作累了，就放下公文包，离开那有着网络、空调和车辆的都市生活，回家乡休息一下。我当然也希望你有时间陪爷爷理个发，看看牙医或是陪奶奶聊聊天。8.Wordstoliveby:fromAtoZ从A到Z的26条生活忠告Ancientsayingsarenotaltogetherstereotypednorms.Thosesuchas“beingpunctualand“beingeconomical”stillworkincontemporarysociety.Budgetsandplansaretheinsurancesofabetterlife.Compromiseisoneofthesolutionstocomplicatedmatters;Consideringconcessionisthesymbolofatalent.Don’texhaustyourself.Recreationsassightseeing,skiing,solarbathingandplayingsoccerareallgoodchoicesforyoutorelax.Environmentprotectionisnotonlythejoboftheauthoritiesbutalsotheobligationofeverycivilian.Fantasyisalsonecessarilyapartoflife.Trustthemagicofdreams,forwhichthereispsychologicalfoundation.Gambleisariskyinvestment.Hastemakeswaste.Ignoringormisunderstandinghistoryisoftenpredictedtorepeatit.Historytellsusthathumanityandharmonyaremostvaluable.Jealousyisthepoisontothecompatiblefriendship.Keepexpectationstowardsapromisinglifeandtryhardtomakethemhappen.Libertyanddemocracyarenottheprivilegesofminoritiesbuttheinevitabletrendofhumancivilization.Makecommentsonlyonthesubjectsyouknowwell.Neverexaggerate.Openyourmouthatconferences.Negotiatinganddiscussingarethesourcesofwit.Povertyistherewardofidleness.Questforlifelongeducationisofprimaryimportance.Remember:afool’sboltmaysometimeshitthemark.Shoulderyourcommitments.Topreserveafriend,therearethreerequirements;tohonorhimpresent,topraisehimabsent,andtogranthimafavorinhisnecessities.Unityistheultimatesolepossibilityofnature,andtheselfish,greedymenwhoareagainstherpurposesmustgettheseverepunishments.Vaingloryblossomsbutneverbears.Whateveramansows,whichhewillalsoreap.Accelerate(accelerate)yourefforts.Youcannotsellthecowandsipthemilk.Zeal(热情）islikeawildhorse,whichshouldbeharnessedbyreason.8.从A到Z的26条生活忠告古人之言并非全是陈词滥调。诸如守时、节俭等在当今社会仍有实际意义。预算和规划是美好生活的保障。退让是解决难题的方法之一：智者尤识退让之术。劳逸结合。观光，滑雪，日光浴，足球等等都是很好的休闲方式。环境保护并不只是官方的责任，同时也是每个公民的义务。白日梦有时也是生活之必需。相信梦想的魔力，这是有心理学根据的。投机是一种很危险的投资。欲速则不达。牢记历史，正视历史，否则历史将会重演。历史经验告诉我们：仁爱和和谐最为宝贵。妒忌是和谐友谊的毒药。坚信美好生活，并努力去实现它。自由与民主并非少数人的特权，而是人类文明发展的必然趋势。只对自己熟知的领域发表评论。不要夸大其词。在会议上积极参与讨论。广开言论才是真知的源泉。贫穷是游手好闲的报应。寻求终身教育至关重要。记住：愚者千虑，必有一得。勇于承担责任。维持友谊需要三点：当面尊重他，背后赞扬他，需要时帮助他。自然界唯一的可能性是走向统一。如果有谁因自私和贪婪而破坏这种趋势的话，最终必将受到严惩。虚荣能开花，但从不结果。种瓜得瓜，种豆得豆。加倍努力。你不可能鱼和熊掌兼得。热情犹如野马，须由理智知指引。9.Youth青春Youthisnotatimeoflife;itisastateofmind.Itisnotamatterofredlips,straightwaistorvigorousbody.Itisamatterofmagnificentimagination,steadydetermination,uniquecharacterandabundantemotion;itisthefreshnessofthedeepspringoflife.Youthmeansaninfinitecourageandself-confidenceoverhugechallenges,meansaprecisetargetandpersistentactionoverworthlesscomplaints.Thisoftenexistsinanelderlymanmorethanachap.Nobodygrowsmerelybythenumberofyears;wegrowoldbydesertingourideas.Yearsmaywrinkletheskin,buttogiveupenthusiasmwillwrinklethesoulworry,fearandself-distrustbowtheheartandturnthespiritbacktodust.Thereisineveryhumanbeing’sheartthetemptationofwonders,theunfailingchildlikeappetiteofwhatsnextandthejoyofthe
