我们到处都能看到“抢眼”的青年艺术家。只有通过不懈的努力才能获得成功。***Here and there we see young artists who stand out from other people. They may be in worn out jeans all the year round, or walk barefoot / in bare feet even in winter, or drink to excess, or cling to the fancy of creating a masterpiece without actually doing any creative work. In fact, many of them act like this just to look the part, or to be "in tune with" other artists. They have forgotten that only through persistent effort can one achieve success.

2005年最不寻常的事是联合国宣布为世界物理学年…爱因斯坦是最伟大的科学家。***What was remarkable about 2005 was perhaps that the UN declared it "The World Year of Physics". It was the 100th anniversary of Einstein's theory of relativity and the 50th anniversary of his death. In 1905 Einstein pub lished five highly important essays in the history of science, thus revolutionizing physics. His great achievements can be credited to his impressive powers of imagination, constant questioning, and not giving a fig for authority. It is beyond doubt that Einstein was the greatest scientist in the 20th century.

南希做了美国人梦寐以求的事。辞经理…经营生意…追求她向往的美好生活。***A decade ago, Nancy did what so many Americans dream about. She quit an executive position and opened/ set up a household device store in her neighborhood. People like Nancy made the decision primarily for the improvement in the quality of their lives.***But, to run a small business on a small scale is by no means an easy job. Without her steady income, Nancy had to cut back on her daily expense. Sometimes she did not even have the money to pay the premium for the various kinds of insurance she needed. ***Fortunately, through her own hard work, she has now got through the most difficult time. She is determined to continue pursuing her vision of a better life. 人们几乎无法将蓄意行窃的盗贼拒之门外…你还可以将报警系统连接到警署。***It is almost impossible to keep a determined burglar out. All you can do is discourage him for a few minutes. Thus exposing him to police patrols. Common sense tells us that lighting is a barrier to criminal activity. A light should be fixed in the doorway and switched on at night. Make sure/Assure yourself that you don't leave the door on the latch if you happen to be the last to come in. If you decide to buy a sophisticated electronic alarm system, be sure to ask for its signs and put them up on both windows and doors. In addition you may have it hooked up to a police station.

亨森获得自由后不久就一心帮助逃亡努力…种族歧视消失的那一天一定会到来。***Shortly after he achieved freedom Henson became intent on assisting fugitive slaves. He secretly returned to the United States from Canada several times to help others to travel the Underground Railroad to freedom. Once some slave catchers closed in on the escaping slaves and Henson when they were on the run. He disguised them and successfully avoided capture. Later he built a small settlement in Dresden in Canada for escaped slaves, setting up a chapel and a school. He held to the conviction that slavery would be abolished, and the day was bound to come when racial discrimination no longer existed.

在感恩节的气氛中…伊索名言来教导他要把懂得感激放在最重要的位置。***Amid the atmosphere of Thanksgiving George was immersed in the diary left to him by his father, who died at sea after he completed two successive trips around the world. The diary brought back every moment George had spent with his father and many of the specific things his father did on his behalf. George's father used to impress on him the need to undergo all kinds of hardship in quest of excellence. He also taught him that nothing in the world could be taken for granted. Even today, George still remembers how his father would quote Aesop's famous saying "Gratitude is the sign of noble souls" and tell him to accord the greatest importance to it.

My Views On Campus Security

***Campus Crimean seriously affect students school lives. Because of the campus crime, the quiet environment of study are broken. And students couldn’t have class freely. It would make students live in fear and worry about their own safety. They couldn’t study by heart. They would even lose confidence of the people and the society day by day when campus crime is serious.***In my opinion, there are several ways to improve the campus security in schools. First, we must pull together to fight against the crime. Second, students should take their responsibility to find out the suspicious people or unusual events on the campus. Security guards to should patrol the campus day and night more carefully. Last , the government should pay more attention to campus security and do something to reduce the crime.

Why People Work

***Some people think they work because they to make a living. They say envy people who don’t have to work.They dream about a life of all pay and no work, a life of endless vacations and holidays. They look forward eagerly to eagerly to their retirement, when they can enjoy the fruits of a lifetime’s work without any toiling or sweating.***But is it true that money is the only, or the main motivating power that drives us to work? If one takes a look at the people around him, one may have second thoughts. In many well-to-do families, the wife still hangs on to her job. Many retired people take on volunteer work, and even children enjoy the feeling of being helpful by doing what they can. To them at least, work has a different meaning. It satisfies another human need, different yet no less basic. It is the need for human dignity, the need to be respected, the need to know that one is helping to make the world a better place to live in.

***Deep in our hearts,we all have this desire,though many of us may not be a ware of it.
