A Strange Present

One day, when I was 14, my uncle sent me a pink T-shirt from ST. Louis, Missouri as my birthday present. On a beautiful Sunday morning, I wore this pink T-shirt and walked gently to the market. On the way, some boys whistled at me. I became very nervous, so I walked faster and more properly with more decorum, but more and more boys whistled at me later. Therefore, I couldn’t help but become more agitated. Suddenly, I turned back and run to my home. I asked my mother, “Why did the boys whistled at me?”My mother looked at my T-shirt with a smile and said nothing. Then I turned to my father. “Why did the boys whistle at me?”My father looked at my beautiful new T-shirt and then laughingly asked, “Are you lonely?”Suddenly, I realized why the boys were whistling at me. The message on my pink T-shirt was“I am lonely”.

whistle: a small wind instrument for making whistling sounds by means of the breath 口哨properly: characterized by appropriateness or suitability; fitting 恰当的

Vacations in Space

Want a ride in a spaceship? It will cost you about 20 million US dollars. At least that’s what Dennis Tito recently paid for a trip to the International Space Station. What if you aren’t rich, but still want to travel in space? Don’t worry. Research supported by NASA might make your dream come true. Scientists are refining a process that, if successful, will enable rockets to take off from the back of an airplane. If people do end up taking vacations in space, don’t worry about finding somewhere to stay. Businessmen like British Richard Branson are already thinking about building hotels out there.

NASA: National Aeronautics and Space Administration (美国)

Keeping Pleasant

In these grim times, weighed down with tension and pressure from the realities of life, many people have lost their sense of humor. They tend to keep a straight face all day long and fail to keep life in perspective. They forget how to smile and finally become physical and mental wrecks. They regard life as a burden, and tend to look on the dark side of things.

Well goes a saying, “Laugh, and grow fat.” Laughter releases tension, and smiling helps create a pleasant social atmosphere. And, thus, in a way,

a sense of humor is an elixir that helps cure mental diseases. Some patients even improve their physical and mental health by reading humorous stories or watching funny movies. This proves that a sense of humor helps us look at the world in a true and healthy light and makes our life worth living.

[注释]：

grim: rigid 无情的，严酷的

tension: uneasy suspense 紧张(状态)，不安

perspective: subjective evaluation of relative significance; a point of view 观点，评价；in dim bimbo 又笨又坏的女人

The Man I Respect Most

My father is the man I respect most. Stern as he may be, he never fails to show his care and consideration. Once I broke a neighbor’s window. Seeing nobody around, I ran away immediately. When Dad came home, he noticed my uneasiness and asked me what had happened.

I could only tell him the truth. Rather than scold me, he praised my honesty and then encouraged me to apologize to our neighbor. I learned from this episode that not only does Dad take care of our health but he also teaches us how to be good citizens. How lucky I am to have such a good father!

[注释]：

stern : severe, strict 严厉的

consideration : careful thought; deliberation 体谅，考虑

uneasiness : 不安

episode : an incident or event that is part of a progression or a larger sequence 插

My Time of Happiness Each Day As a student, most of my time is spent on school work and other

school-related activities. Consequently, my time of happiness each day is very limited.

However, this is not to say that I am not happy every day. In fact, I really enjoy coming home from school each evening and having dinner with my family. After dinner, I read or watch some TV with my family. This is a happy time for me every day.

But my happiest time of a day is just before I fall asleep. Lying in bed, I think about all I achieved that day, and it makes me happy to know that the day was full.

[注释]：

consequently : therefore 从而，因此

achieve : to perform or carry out with success; accomplish 完成，达到

Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening

《风雪夜林边停》是一首著名的诗歌。写的是雪夜美景？写的是守诺如一？写的是

人生不得不向前行？不同的读者会有完全不同的理解。这大概就是文学批评中所说的“接受美学”的观点吧。

Whose woods these are I think I know,

His house is in the village though.

He will not see me stopping here,

To watch his woods fill up with snow.

My little horse must think it queer,

To stop without a farmhouse near,

Between the woods and frozen lake,

The darkest evening of the year.

He gives his harness bells a shake,

To ask if there is some mistake.

The only othe r sound’s the sweep,

And miles to go before I sleep.

Home—A Joy Forever

Home means a lot to me. “Be it ever so humble, there is no place like home.”I appreciate the warmth of my home, and regard it as one of the brightest and dearest spots on earth. It is the place where I can take refuge whenever I meet with difficulties, failures and even frustrations in my daily life. At home, my dear parents and brothers and sisters will comfort me and cheer me up. And with their concern and encouragement, I will regain my self-confidence and muster up all my strength and courage to face the stern realities of life. To me, home is forever a joy where I can always find love, understanding, care and help.

Summer

夏日晨风，拂过我的脸庞，扰动我的梦想，飞扬在这青春读书的好时光。

I chanced to rise very early one particular morning this summer, and took

a walk into the country to divert myself among the fields and meadows, while the green was new, and the flowers in their bloom. As at this season of the year every lane is a beautiful walk, and every hedge full of nosegays, I lost myself, with a great deal of pleasure, among several thickets and bushes that were filled with a great variety of birds, and an agreeable confusion of notes, which formed the pleasantest scene in the world to one who had passed a whole winter in noise and smoke. The freshness of the dews that lay upon everything about me, with the cool breath of the morning, which inspired the birds with so many delightful instincts, created in me the same kind of animal pleasure, and made my heart overflow with such secret emotions of joy and satisfaction as are not to be described or accounted for.

洋世界到底有多少未知的秘密?

Ever wonder what lives in the Earth’s waters? Some 300 scientists from 53 different countries are wondering the same thing. For the first time in history, scientists are trying to count how many species of fish, animals and plants live under water.

They are conducting a census of life in the world’s oceans, which

cover 70 per cent of the Earth’s surface. The study began in 2000 and is expected to end in 2010, at a cost of US$1 billion. So far, scientists have counted more than 15,000 species of fish and around 200,000 species of animals and plants in the oceans. They expect to find at least another

5,000 species of fish.

Scientists believe that the animals and plants they’ve found so far represent just 10 per cent of the world’s total underwater population. That means that they expect to find almost 2 million species of animals and

plants by 2010. “Our goal by 2010 is to know as much about life in the oceans as we know about life on land now,”says a marine biologist who is working on the project.

The newly-discovered species are not all new species. Many of them have just never been recorded before. Scientists fear that the growing human population is decreasing the variety of species living in the ocean.

They hope the census will help them learn how human activity, such as fishing and agriculture, is affecting the oceans.

New Pictures of an Old Universe 这段科技文章看似复杂难懂，其实不难。读的同时不妨仔细分析这类文章的特点，这对

于在考试中阅读理解同类文章一定有帮助。

For thousands of years humans have wondered how and when the universe first began. Now, thanks to some photographs taken by Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP), scientists are much closer to understanding, even seeing, the universe in its beginning years. This is all possible thanks to the WMAP satellite in orbit about one million miles above Earth. The satellite is specially designed to record one kind of cosmic energy: microwave radiation. It can use this radiation to show us what the universe looked like 13.3 billion years ago!

Wait a minute ... how can this satellite show us a picture of the universe billions of years ago? The Big Bang created the universe in a huge explosion, and at the same time it created a specific field of radiation—called the cosmic microwave background, or CMB. This CMB still lingers in the universe today. What the satellite actually does is take pictures of the CMB.

So what did scientists learn from these new pictures? First, they learned that stars formed very soon—merely 200 million years—after the Big Bang. And they were able to confirm estimates of the universe’s age: it was born about 13.7 billion years ago. This is the age that

Three Days to See

下面的文字摘选自海伦·凯勒的自传《假如给我三天光明》。海伦虽然自幼丧失了视力

和听觉，但却是一个生活在黑暗中而给人类带来光明的女性。她在1904 年获得学位，成为优秀的讲师和作家。“我要把别人眼睛所看见的光明当作我的太阳，别人的耳朵听见的音乐当作我的乐曲，别人嘴角的微笑当作我的快乐。”她接受了命运的挑战，获得了超越自己的喜悦。我们为之感动的不仅是文字本身的优美和其中所含的真情，还包括字里行间所反映的那颗伟大心灵。

Most of us, however, take life for granted. We know that one day we must

die, but usually we picture that day as far in the future. When we are in buoyant health, death is all but unimaginable. We seldom think of it. The days stretch out in an endless vista. So we go about our petty tasks, hardly aware of our listless attitude toward life.

…

I have often thought it would be a blessing if each human being were stricken blind and deaf for a few days at some time during his early adult life. Darkness would make him more appreciative of sight; silence would teach him the joys of sound.

Now and then I have tested my seeing friends to discover what they

英语晨读精华

126

see. Recently I was visited by a very good friend who had just returned from a long walk in the woods, and I asked her what she had observed. “Nothing in particular,” she replied. I might have been incredulous had I not been accustomed to such reposes, for long ago I became convinced that the seeing see little.

How was it possible, I asked myself, to walk for an hour through the woods and see nothing worthy of note? I who cannot see find hundreds of things to interest me through mere touch. I feel the delicate symmetry of a leaf. I pass my hands lovingly about the smooth skin of a silver birch, or the rough, shaggy bark of a pine. In the spring I touch the branches of trees hopefully in search of a bud the first sign of awakening Nature after her winter’s sleep. I feel the delightful, velvety texture of a flower, and discover its remarkable convolutions; and something of the miracle of Nature is revealed to me. Occasionally, if I am very fortunate, I place my hand gently on a small tree and feel the happy quiver of a bird in full song.

I am delighted to have the cool waters of a brook rush through my open finger. To me a lush carpet of pine needles or spongy grass is more welcome than the most luxurious Persian rug. To me the pageant of seasons is a thrilling and unending drama, the action of which streams through my finger tips.

高中英语 晨读英语美文60篇 50 Autumn Sunset素材

Autumn Sunset We had a remarkable sunset one day last November. I was walking in a meadow, the source of a small brook, when the sun at last, just before setting, after a cold gray day, reached a clear stratum in the horizon, and the softest, brightest morning sunlight fell on the dry grass and on the stems of the trees in the opposite horizon, and on the leaves of the shrub-oaks on the hill-si de, while our shadows stretched long over the meadow eastward, as if we were the only motes in its beams. It was such a light as we could not have imagined a moment be fore, and the air also was so warm and serene that nothing wanted to make a paradise of that meadow. When we reflected that this was not a solitary phenomenon, never to happe n again, but that it would happen forever and ever an infinite number of evenings, and cheer and reassure the latest child that walked there, it was more glorious still. The sun sets on some retired meadow, where no house is visible, with all the glory and splendor that it lavishes on cities, and, perchance, as it has never set before, --where there is but a solitary marsh-hawk to have his wings gilded by it, or only a masques lookout from his cabin, and there is some little black-veined brook in the midst of the marsh, just beginning to meander, winding slowly round a decaying stump. We walked in so pure and bright a light, gildi ng t he withered grass and leaves, so softly and serenely bright, I thought I had never bathed in such a golden flood, without a ripple or a murmur to it. The west side of ev ery wood and rising ground gleamed like a boundary of Ely-sium, and the sun on our backs seemed like a gentle herdsman driving us home at evening. So we saunter toward the Holy Land, till one day the sun shall shine more brightly than ever he has don e, shall perchance shine into our minds and hearts, and light up our whole lives with a great awakening light, as warm and serene and golden as on a bank-side in autumn. 最近十一月的一天，我们目睹了一个极其美丽的日落。当我象平时一样漫步于一道小溪发 源处的草地之上，那高空的太阳，终于在一个凄苦的寒天之后、暮夕之前，突于天际骤放澄明。这时但见远方天幕下的衰草残茎，山边的树叶橡丛，登时浸在一片柔美而耀眼的绮照之中，而我们自己的身影也长长地伸向草地的东方，仿佛是那缕斜耀中仅有的点点微尘。周 围的风物是那么妍美，一晌之前还是难以想象，空气也是那么和暖纯净，一时这普通草原实在无异于天上景象。但是这眼前之景难道一定是亘古以来不曾有过的特殊奇观?说不定自有天日以来，每个暮夕便都是如此，因而连跑动在这里的幼小孩童也会觉得自在欣悦。想到这些，这幅景象也就益发显得壮丽起来。 此刻那落日的余晕正以它全部的灿烂与辉煌，也不分城市还是乡村，甚至以往日少见的艳丽，尽情斜映在这一带境远地僻的草地之上;这里没有一间房舍——茫茫之中只瞥见一头孤零零的沼鹰，背羽上染尽了金黄，一只麝香鼠正在洞穴口探头，另外在沼泽之间望见了一股水色黝黑的小溪，蜿蜒曲折，绕行于一堆残株败根之旁。我们漫步于其中的光照，是这样的纯美与熠耀，满目衰草树叶，一片金黄，晃晃之中又是这般柔和和恬静，没有一丝涟漪，一息呜

People say they'd like to do this or that,but...then they offer all the excuses in the world why they can't do whatever it is.No matter what the excuses are,the only thing usually limiting them is their own self-perception. If I've learned anyhing,I've learned a person--any person--can do just about anything they set their mind to.The only thing they need is a willingness to work for what you want,patience to learn what you need to know,and just a little bit of belief in yourself,but you only need a seed.Your faith in yourself will grow with you as you move forward. If you self-perception is that you can't accompilsh somthing because you're not smart enough,then take the time to learn what you need to know and your self-perception will change. If your self-perception is that you can't accompilsh something because you never finsh anything you start,then go finsh something and change your self-perception. If your self-perception is that you're too lazy,too bust,too unworthy,too unfocused,too depressed,too dependent on others,the you're right.You are that because you believe that,but you can change that! Life is change,and the past doesn't equal the future.Your today is the result of your past beliefs and actions.Change your beliefs and action and you change your future.If you think you can or you can't,you're right.You are what you think. Think about that the next time you need an excuse. 翻译： 借口 有些人站在“借口”这一柜台后虚度一生。 有人说，自己想做这个，想做那个，但是······于是便给出他们所能找到的各种借口，来解释自己为什么不能去做这些事。无论借口是什么，大概唯一能限制他们行动的只是他们的自我意识。 如果说我学到了什么，那就是我意识到一个人——任何人——都可以做他决定想做的一切。你唯一需要的是：为理想而努力的意志，学习所需知识的耐心和一点点自信。其实最需要的只是自信的一粒小小的种籽。自信会随着你的进步而增强。如果你自以为不够聪明而无法成功，那就花时间去学习你所需要的知识，这样你的自我感觉就会改变。 如果你认为自己太懒惰，太忙碌，太无足轻重，太不专心，太消沉，太依赖别人，太这样太那样而不能成大器，那么你是对的。你相信如此，便会如此。但你能改变一切。 生活无时无刻不在变化，过去不等于将来。你的现在是你过去的信念与行动的结果。改变信念和行动就会改变你的未来。你认为自己能或不能，你都是对的。你就是你所认为的样子。 下次需要找借口时，请好好想想

It is the first Starbucks cafe to boldly go where no Starbucks has gone before, onto potentially hostile French territory. Its advertising posters on the Champs Elysee announce "Starbucks - a passion pour le cafe". But is the company aware of the risk it is taking by challenging the very birthplace of cafe society "I think every time we come into a new market we do it with a great sense of respect, a great deal of interest in how that cafe society has developed over time," Bill O'Shea of Starbucks says. "We recognise there is a huge history here of cafe society and we have every confidence we can enjoy, augment and join in that passion."

晨读英语美文100篇 Passage1. Knowledge and Virtue Knowledge is one thing, virtue is another; good sense is not conscience, refinement is not humility, nor is largeness and justness of view faith. Philosophy, however enlightened, however profound, gives no command over the passions, no influential motives, no vivifying principles. Liberal Education makes not the Christian, not the Catholic, but the gentleman. It is well to be a gentleman, it is well to have a cultivated intellect, a delicate taste, a candid, equitable, dispassionate mind, a noble and courteous bearing in the conduct of life—these are the connatural qualities of a large knowledge;they are the objects of a University.I am advocating, I shall illustrate and insist upon them;but still, I repeat, they are no guarantee for sanctity or even for conscientiousness,and they may attach to the man of the world, to the profligate,to the heartless, pleasant, alas, and attractive as he shows when decked out in them.Taken by themselves, they do but seem to be what they are not;they look like virtue at a distance, but they are detected by close observers, and in the long run;and hence it is that they are popularly accused of pretense and hypocrisy,not, I repeat, from

英语专业晨读美文励志篇：Feed Your Mind

英语专业晨读美文励志篇：Feed Your Mind [00:04.52]Feed Your Mind [00:06.60]Since the prehistoric times, man has had an urge to satisfy his needs. [00:13.60] Be it hunger, shelter or search for a mate, [00:17.31] he has always manipulated the circumstances to the best of his advantages. [00:22.23]Probably this might be the reason [00:24.53]why we human are the most developed of all living species on the earth, [00:28.79]and probably also in the universe. [00:31.53]As we climbed the steps of evolution with giant leaps, [00:35.36]we somehow left behind common sense and logical thinking— [00:39.29]we forgot that we have stopped thinking ahead of times. [00:42.57]If you are hungry, what do you do? Grab

a piece of your favorite meal [00:47.72] and stay quiet after that? Just like your stomach, even your mind is hungry. [00:53.07]But it never lets you know, [00:54.93]because you keep it busy thinking about your dream lover, [00:58.22] favorite star and many such absurd things. [01:01.49]So it silently began to heed to your needs and never let itself grow. [01:06.42] When mind looses its freedom to grow, creativity gets a full stop. [01:12.10] This might be the reason why we all sometimes think “What happens next?”, [01:16.80]”Why can’t I think?”, “Why am I always given the difficult problems?” [01:21.40]Well this is the aftermath of our own karma [01:25.22]of using our brain for thinking of not-so-worthy things. [01:28.72]Hunger of the mind can be actually satiated through extensive reading.

星火四级晨读英语美文100篇【励志感悟】第17篇

星火四级晨读英语美文100篇【励志感悟】第17篇 The Power of Beauty One of the most successful, influential and beloved women in American history, Eleanor Roosevelt once said that she had one regret: she wished she had been prettier. Who hasn’t felt the same way? We are all too aware of our physical imperfections. To overcome them, we spend billions upon billions of dollars every year on cosmetics, diet products, fashion, and plastic surgery. Why do we care so much about how we look? Because it matters. Because beauty is powerful. Because even when we learn to value people mostly for being kind and wise and funny, we are still moved by beauty. No matter how much we argue against it or pretend to be immune, beauty exerts its power over us. There is simply no escape. Aristotle said, “Beauty is a greater recommendation than any letter of introduction.” It’s not fair, but it’s true. We simply treat beautiful people better than we do others. Attach a photograph of a beautiful author to an essay, and people will think that is more creative and more intelligently written than exactly the same essay accompanied by the photo of a homely author. Our sensitivity to physical beauty is not something we can control at will. We are born with it. Experiments conducted by psychologist Judith J. Langlois showed that even small infants prefer to look at attractive faces. Before they have met a single supermodel, before they have watched a single TV show, before they have opened up a single fashion magazine, they are drawn to the same faces which adults have judged to be attractive. There are more important things in life than beauty. But as Etcoff says, “We have to understand beauty, or we will always be enslaved by it.” If you aim to be wise and kind and funny, it doesn’t mean that you can’t also try your best to look beautiful. There’s no reason to feel guilty about being moved by beauty’s power. It moves us all. 翻译： 美的力量 身为美国史上最成功、最有影响力且最受人喜爱的女性之一的罗斯福夫人曾说她有一个遗憾：她希望自己长得更漂亮。谁没有过同样的想法呢？我们都强烈感觉到自己身体的缺陷。为了克服缺陷，我们每年都要花费几十亿美元--在化妆品、减肥食品、流行时尚与整容手术上。 我们如此这么在意自己的外貌？因为它很重要。因为美的力量很大。因为即使我们学着基本上去看重仁慈、智能、风趣的人，但我们仍会受到美的感动。无论我们多么用力辩驳，或假装对它免疫，美仍然对我们产生影响。根本无法逃避。 亚里斯多德说：“美是比任何介绍信都要有用的推荐函。”这并不公平，但却是事实。我们就是会对美丽的人比较好。把一位美丽作家的照片贴在作品上，读者就会认为这篇文章较有创意，写得更有智能。完全相同的文章配上相貌平凡的作家照片，评价就会较低。 我们对外在美的敏感，不是可以控制自如的。我们天生就这么敏感。心理学家朱迪丝蓝洛斯的实验显示，就连小婴儿也喜欢看漂亮的脸。他们从来没有见过超级名模、没看过电视节目，也没翻开过时尚杂志，却已经受到大人也认为有魅力的脸庞所吸引。 人生中有比美丽更重要的事，但就如艾特考夫所说：“我们必须了解美，否则我们永远都会是它的奴隶。”如果你的目标是要聪明、仁慈又风趣，这并不代表你就不能尽力让自己变得漂亮。被美的力量感动，并不需要有罪恶感，因为所有的人都受它感动。

Self-esteem is the way you talk to yourself about yourself.

It is the conviction that one is competent to live and worthy of living. Our self-esteem and self-image are developed by how we talk to ourselves.

星火晨读四级英语美文篇 篇一：星火四级晨读英语美文100篇【励志感悟】第18篇星火四级晨读英语美文100篇【励志感悟】第18篇 What is Life About ? What is life about? We push very hard everyday to make more money, to gain power and recognition. We neglect our health, time with our family and to appreciate the surrounding beauty and the hobbies we love to do. One day when we look back, we will realize that we don t really need that much, but then we cannot turn back time for what we have missed. Life is not about making money, acquiring power or recognition. Life is definitely not about work! Work is only necessary to keep us living so as to enjoy the beauty and pleasures of life. Life is a balance of work and play, family and personal time. You have to decide how you want to balance your life.Define your priorities, realize what you are able to compromise but always let some of your decisions be based on your instincts. Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life,the whole aim of human existence. So, take it easy, do what you want to do and appreciate nature. Life is fragile. Life is short. Do not take life for granted. Live a balanced lifestyle and enjoy life! 翻译：生活的意义生活是关于什么的呢?我们每天努力地去赚更多的钱，去得到权力和认可。我们忽视了我们的健康，忽视了与家人在一起的时间，忽视了欣赏周围的美丽，忽视了自己的爱好。某一天当我们往回看的时候，我们会发现自己其实真正需要的并不是太多，但是时光不能倒转，我们也找不回失去的东西。生活不是赚钱，不是去追求权利和别人的认可。生活绝对不只是工作! 工作只是帮助我们去生存，以便于我们享受生活中的荚丽和快乐。生活是一种工作时间和玩乐时间，家庭时间和个人时间的平衡。你必须自己去决定怎么去平衡你的生活。确定你自己最先做什么，明白什么是可以迟些做的，但是总体来说，让你的一些决定跟着你的本能走。快乐是生活的意义和目的，是人类存在的整个目标。所以，放松点，去做那些你想做的事情，重视自然。生活是脆弱的，短暂的。不要把生活想得理所当然，过一种平衡的生活方式，去享受生活吧。篇二：星火四级晨读英语美文100篇【励志感悟】第20篇星火四级晨读英语美文100
