晨读美文 Books are to mankind what memory is to the individual. They contain the history of our race, the discoveries we have made, the accumulated knowledge and experience of ages; they picture for us the miracles and beauties of nature, help us in our difficulties, comfort us in sorrow

晨读美文 Laziness is a sin: everyone knows that. We have probably all had lectures pointing out that laziness is immoral, that it is wasteful, and that lazy people will never amount to anything in life. But laziness can be more harmful than that, and it is often caused by more complex reasons than

The most unfortunate people in the world are those who have never discovered how satisfying it is to read good books. I am most interested in people, in them and finding out about them. Some of the most remarkable people met existed only in a writer's imagination, then on the pages of his book, and then, again, in my imagination. I've found in books new friends, new societies and new words. If I am interested in people, others are interested not so much in "who" as in "how". "Who" in the books includes everybody from science-fiction superman 200 centuries in the future all the way back to the first figures in history. 岁月沉淀的智慧，千年不衰的故事，只要打开扉页，这一切便唾手可得。如何拥有这些瑰宝，如何掌握其精华，却是我们最该费心思了解的知识。世界上最不幸的人就是那些从未领略过阅读佳作乐趣的人。 我对书中的人物感兴趣，乐衷于与人交往，了解他们。一些超凡脱俗之辈只存在于作者的想像中，接着跃然于纸上，然后徘徊于我的脑海里。在书海里，我觅得了新经典美文朋友，窥见了新社会，发现了新世界。 如果说我感兴趣的人，别人感兴趣的，与其说是人，还不如说是事。书里的人物，从历史里记载的第一批历史人物一直到科幻小说里出现在两百年后的超人，形形色色，应有尽有。 这篇材料你能听出多少？点击这里做听写，提高外语水平>>

The more we have, the better we deal with things. Positive self-esteem is important because when people experience it. They feel good and look good. They are effective and productive. And they respond to other people and themselves in healthy, positive, growing ways. People who have positive self-esteem know that they are lovable and capable, and they care about themselves and other people. They do not have to build themselves up by tearing other people down or by patronizing less competent people. 心理学家们认为，个人的幸福感、成功、与他人的关系、成就、创造力、依赖性，包括我们生活的所有方面都取决于我们不同程度的自尊。自尊意识越强，我们就能更好地处理事务。感受到这种积极的自尊是相当重要的，拥有积极的自尊使自己感觉良好，并给别人良好的印象，工作效率提高，更加卓有成效；并且总经典美文是以一种健康、积极和发展的态度回应自己或是别人。拥有积极的自尊的人清楚自己受人喜爱，清楚自己能力很强，他们既关心自己也关心别人。他们也不需要通过诋毁比人或对能力不如自己的人摆出一副神气活现的样子来建立自己所谓的地位。 这篇材料你能听出多少？点击这里做听写，提高外语水平>>

有的心态。 德国人只肯承认瑞士毫无疑问地比他们自己更具有日耳曼民族的美德。瑞士人讲究条理，守时，勤奋，清洁又严谨，没有一个德国人会对他们在这些领域的至高地位持有异议。而且，他们从来没有和瑞士人发生过战争。 如果以往的经验曾经教会他们一件事，那就是：脱离国际社会就没有前途。没有一个国家比德国更晨读美文深刻地认识到与人友好相处的重要性。宽容不仅是一种美德，它也是一种责任。 这篇材料你能听出多少？点击这里做听写，提高外语水平>>

晨读美文 Night has fallen over the country. Through the trees rises the red moon and the stars are scarcely seen. In the vast shadow of night, the coolness and the dews descend. I sit at the open window to enjoy them; and hear only the voice of the summer wind. Like black hulks, the shadows

There is, however, another kind, by no means uncommon, in which one person sucks the vitality of the other, one receives what the other gives, but gives almost nothing in return. Some very vital people belong to this bloodsucking type. They extract the vitality from one victim after another, but while they prosper and grow interesting, those upon whom they live grow pale and dim and dull. 最好的那种爱是彼此愉悦的爱；彼此很愉快地接受，很自然地给出，并且由于有了这种互惠的快乐，彼此都觉得整个世界更有趣味。然而，还有一种决非少见的爱，那就是一方吸收着另一方的活力，接受着另一方的给出，但他这一方几乎毫无回报。某些生命力极旺的人便属于这吸血的一类。他们把一个又一个牺牲者的活力吸净，但是当他们越发生机勃勃，兴致盎然之时，那些被榨取的人却变得越来越苍白、黯淡和迟钝。 这篇材料你能听出多少？点击这里做听写，提高外语水平>>

As for the belief in an everlasting love, that's another thing. 　　 Then you may be asked whether there is such a thing as an everlasting love. I'd answer I believe in it. But an everlasting love is not immutable. 　　 You may unswervingly love or be loved by a person. But love will change its composition with the passage of time. It will not remain the same. In the course of your growth and as a result of your increased experience, love will become something different to you. 假如有人对你说，我永远爱你，你是否会相信呢? 我想不到有什么理由不相信。无论将来变成怎样，那一刻，我们会愿意相信这个承诺。是否相信有永远的爱，那经典美文又是另一回事。 　　 你也许永远爱一个人，或永远被一个人所爱。但是，爱的成分会在年月中改变。爱不是只有一样。当你成长，当你经历愈来愈多的事情，你对爱的体会也会不一样了。 这篇材料你能听出多少？点击这里做听写，提高外语水平>>
