Eliminate Internal Negative Chatter
The first step is one of awareness. It will be hard to make a change to positive thinking without being acutely intimate with the thoughts that run through your mind. Recently, I was amazed to discover deep buried emotions from negative thoughts that I had for fewer than 10 minutes. Without awareness, I would have carried the hurt and anger inside. Awareness helped me to bring them out to the open for me to deal with.
Undoubtedly it will not be easy to make a switch if you have a long history or negative self talk. Your talk became negative over the years due to various factors. For instance, if your first grade teacher repeatedly told you that you were stupid, you might believe it to be truly the case. You would find that your inner chatter would often be filled with talk of I am so slow and it is so hard to learn. If you constantly tell yourself such negative stories, your actions are going to reflect your low self esteem. It will be difficult to get very far if you are always putting yourself down.
A common negative talk involves telling yourself I can’t. When you say to yourself I can’t or it is too difficult, you are creating a resistance. Having such a mental block will prevent you from achieving a task you could otherwise succeed at.
Anytime you catch yourself saying I can’t, turn around and challenge your own claim with, Why can’t I? Research shows that most geniuses became the people they are also because of the hard work they put in. So if you would like to be successful, you need to start saying I can a lot more.
A great method that I have also found useful is to say Cancel Cancel each time I find myself saying something negative, whether in the mind or verbally. The method works if you sincerely have the intent of becoming a positive thinker.

positive Affirmations
Affirmations are positive statements of a desired outcome or goal. They are usually short, believable and focused. By repeating them over and over again, you build inroads into your subconscious mind, opening up the possibility of a new state of thoughts.
An important step when repeating affirmations is that you need to read your affirmations aloud with feeling. The mere reading of the words bears no consequence unless you put some emotions behind them. Of significant fact is that your subconscious mind takes any orders given in complete faith and after repeated self talk. So the daily practice of repeating affirmations is important.
Initially you may be skepticism toward the statement of your positive affirmation. However, if you follow this simple set of instructions your skepticism will soon give way to a new set of beliefs and then crystallized into absolute faith.

positive Scripts
One thing that you may observe is on how easy it is for your mind to build negative thought upon negative thought. The chatter not only does not stop but it spins a drama that traps and limits you.
From now on, regularly do this exercise instead. Spin an uplifting story that runs like a movie script. Some visualization will be helpful. You build on a story with a positive outline. The longer you can tell this story to yourself the better. It is also best if you can make this story one about having all your goals achieved. When you do this, you start to internalize your goals and dreams, as if they are something that you have already achieved.
阅读是人生的一种美好享受。阅读经典美文可以让学生的心灵得到滋润和净化,穿越时空与作者展开灵魂的交流,在不断提升的精神境界中让生命之树得以枝繁叶茂。我精心收集了优秀的英语美文，供大家欣赏学习! 优秀的英语美文：The Love of Beauty The love of beauty is an essential part of all healthy human nature. It is a moral quality. The absence of it is not an assured ground of condemnation, but the presence of it is an invariable sign of goodness of heart. In proportion to the degree in which it is felt will probably be the degree in which nobleness and beauty of character will be attained. Natural beauty is an all-pervading presence. The universe is its temple. It unfolds into the numberless flowers of spring. It waves in the branches of trees and the green blades of grass. It haunts the depths of the earth and the sea. It gleams from the hues of the shell and the precious stone. And not only these minute objects but the oceans, the mountains, the clouds, the stars, the rising and the setting sun---all overflow with beauty. This beauty is so precious, and so congenial to our tenderest and noblest feelings, that it is painful to think of the multitude of people living in the midst of it and yet remaining almost blind to it. All persons should seek to bee acquainted with the beauty in nature. There is not a worm we tread upon, nor a leaf that dances merrily as it falls before the autumn winds, but calls for our study and admiration. The power to appreciated beauty not merely increases our sources of happiness---it enlarges our moral nature, too. Beauty calms our restlessness and dispels our cares. Go into the fields or the woods, spend a summer day by the sea or the mountains, and all your little perplexities and anxieties will vanish. Listen to sweet music, and your foolish fears and petty jealousies will pass away. The beauty of the world helps us to seek and find the beauty of goodness. 优秀的英语美文：The Happy door Happiness is like a pebble dropped into a pool to set in motion an ever-widening circle of ripples. As Stevenson has said, being happy is a duty. There is no exact definition of the word happiness. Happy people are happy for all sorts of reasons. The key is not wealth or physical well-being, since we find beggars, invalids and so-called failures, who are extremely happy. Being happy is a sort of unexpected dividend. But staying happy is an acplishment, a triumph of soul and character. It is not selfish to strive for it. It is, indeed, a duty to ourselves and others. Being unhappy is like an infectious disease. It causes people to shrink away from the sufferer. He soon finds himself alone, miserable and embittered. There is, however, a cure so simple as to seem, at first glance, ridiculous; if you don’t feel happy, pretend to be! It works. Before long you will find that instead of repelling people, you attract them. You discover how deeply rewarding it is to be the center of wider and wider circles of good will. Then the make-believe bees a reality. You possess the secret of peace of mind, and can forget yourself in being of service to others. Being happy, once it is realized as a duty and established as a habit, opens doors into unimaginable gardens thronged with grateful friends. 优秀的英语美文：Born to Win Each human being is born as something new, something that never existed before. Each is born with the capacity to win at life. Each person has a unique way of seeing, hearing, touching, tasting and thinking. Each has his or her own unique potentials---capabilities and limitations. Each can be a significant, thinking, aware, and creative being---a productive person, a winner. The word “winner” and “loser” have many meanings. When we refer to a person as a winner, we do not mean one who makes someone else lose. To us, a winner is one who responds authentically by being credible, trustworthy, responsive, and genuine, both as an individual and as a member of a society. Winners do not dedicated their lives to a concept of what they imagine they should be; rather, they are themselves and as such do not use their energy putting on a performance, maintaining pretence and manipulating others. They are aware that there is a difference between being loving and acting loving, between being stupid and acting stupid, between being knowledgeable and acting knowledgeable. Winners do not need to hide behind a mask. Winners are not afraid to do their own thinking and to use their own knowledge. They can separate facts from opinions and don’t pretend to have all the answers. They listen to others, evaluate what they say, but e to their own conclusions. Although winners can admire and respect other people, they are not totally defined, demolished, bound, or awed by them. Winners do not play “helpless”, nor do they play the blaming game. Instead, they assume responsibility for their own lives. They don’t give others a false authority over them. Winners are their own bosses and know it. A winner’s timing is right. Winners respond appropriately to the situation. Their responses are related to the message sent and preserve the significance, worth, well-being, and dignity of the people involved. Winners know that for everything there is a season and for every activity a time. Although winners can freely enjoy themselves, they can also postpone enjoyment, can discipline themselves in the present to enhance their enjoyment in the future. Winners are not afraid to go after what he wants, but they do so in proper ways. Winners do not get their security by controlling others. They do not set themselves up to lose. A winner cares about the world and its peoples. A winner is not isolated from the general problems of society, but is concerned, passionate, and mitted to improving the quality of life. Even in the face of national and international adversity, a winner’s self-image is not one of a powerless individual. A winner works to make the world a better place.

There are several different stages of sleep, andthey too occur in cycles. 睡眠是人每天日常活动循环的一部分。人的睡眠分几个阶段，而这些阶段也是循环发生的。 If you are an average sleeper, your sleep cycle is as follows. When you first drift off intoslumber, your eyes will roll about a bit, your temperature will drop slightly, your muscles willrelax, and your breathing well slow and become quite regular. Your brain waves slow down a bittoo, with the alpha rhythm of rather fast waves predominating for the first few minutes. Thisis called stage 1 sleep. For the next half hour or so, as you relax more and more, you will driftdown through stage 2 and stage 3 sleep. The lower your stage of sleep, the slower your brainwaves will be. Then about 40 to 60 minutes after you lose consciousness you will havereached the deepest sleep of all. Your brain waves will show the large slow waves that areknown as the delta rhythm. This is stage 4 sleep. 如果你是一个正常的睡眠者，你的睡眠循环会这样进行。在你开始昏昏入睡时，你的眼睛会滚动几下，体温略有下降，肌肉放松，呼吸变得缓慢而有节奏。除了开始几分钟比较快的α节奏外，脑电波也稍有减缓。这被称为第一阶段睡眠。在随后约半小时内，你进一步放松，进入第二和第三阶段睡眠。睡眠越深入，脑电波就越缓慢。大约在开始睡眠后的40到60分钟，你将进入沉睡状态。这时的脑电波表现为巨大的缓波，被称为δ节奏。这就是第四阶段睡眠。 You do not remain at this deep fourth stage all night long, but instead about 80 minutes afteryou fall into slumber, your brain activity level will increase again slightly. The delta rhythm willdisappear, to be replaced by the activity pattern of brain waves. Your eyes will begin to dartaround under your closed eyelids as if you were looking at something occurring in front of you.This period of rapid eye movement lasts for some 8 to 15 minutes and is called REM sleep. Itis during REM sleep period, your body will soon relax again, your breathing will grow slow andregular once more, and you will slip gently back from stage 1 to stage 4 sleep - only to riseonce again to the surface of near consciousness some 80 minutes later. 但你并不是整夜都保持这种沉睡状态。入睡后约80分钟左右，你的大脑运动水平会再度略有提高。δ节奏消失，并被脑电波的运动图形取代。你的眼睛会在闭着的眼睑下迅速转动，就好象你在看着眼前发生的什么事情。这种迅速的眼球运动持续约8-15分钟，这一阶段睡眠被称之为快速眼动(REM)睡眠。在REM睡眠阶段，你的肢体会很快再度放松，呼吸也再次放慢并变得有节奏，你会轻松地从第一阶段滑入第四阶段睡眠——直到大约80分钟后重新接近清醒状态。 关于英语优美短文篇二 风筝人生 There never exists absolute freedom free from restrictions; generally, we young people should learn to understand and respect rules and regulations. 从来没有没有约束的绝对自由;通常来说,年轻人要学会理解规则，尊重规则。 How much like kites we sometimes are.

We keep part of the commandment and never rise high enough to get our tails off the ground. 有时我们真像这风筝! 上苍赋予我们困境和约束,赋予我们成长和增强实力所要遵从的规则。约束是逆风的必要匹配物 。我们中有些人是如此强硬地抵制规则,以至我们从来无法飞到本来能够达到的高度 。我们只遵从部分戒律,因此永远不会飞得足够高,使尾巴远离地面 。 Let us each rise to the great heights, recognizing that some of the restraints that we may chafe under are actually the duanwenw.com steadying force that helps us ascend and achieve. 让我们每个人都飞到高处吧,并且认识到这一点:有些可能会令我们生气的约束, 实际上是帮助我们攀升和实现愿望的平衡力 。 关于英语优美短文篇三 熟悉陌生城市的最好 方法 一迷路 I was in a strange city and I didn't know the city at all. What is more, I could not speak a word of the language. 我在一个陌生的城市里并对这座城市一无所知。更糟糕的是当地话我一句也不会说。After having spent my first day in the duanwenw.com center, I decided to lose my way on the second day, since I believed that this was the nearest way of getting to know the strange city. 第一天我在市中心待了一天,第二天我决定迷路,因为我相信迷路是了解一座陌生城市的最快办法。 I got on first bus that passed, rode on it for several stops. Then got off it and walked on. The first two hours passed pleasantly enough. Then I decided to turn back to my hotel for lunch. After walking about for some time, I decided I had better ask the way. The trouble was that the only word I know of the language was the name of the street in which I lived and even that I pronounced badly. 我上了第一辆路过的公交车,坐了几站地后下车步行。前两个小时非常愉快地过去了,然后我决定返回旅馆吃午饭。走了一段时间之后我想我还是问问路吧。可问题是我唯一会说的一个词就是我所住的街道的名称,并且发音还很糟糕。 I stopped to ask a friendly-looking newspaper-seller. He smiled and handed me a paper. I shook my head and repeated the name of the street and he put the paper into my hands. I gave him some money and went on my way. The next person I asked was a policeman. The policeman listened to me carefully, smiled and gently took me by the arm.

I had come all the way into countryside. The only thing left for me to do was to find the nearest railway station. 大约一小时以后我发现周围的房屋越来越少,两边开始出现一片片绿野,我一路来到了乡下。现在我唯一能做的事就是找到最近的火车站了。

每个人的身上都有保护环境的责任，这对我们的生活环境有着密切的关系，随便扔垃圾，随地吐痰，扔废电池，这些不起眼的小事都会污染环境。
平时我们不难在路上看见随地扔垃圾和随地吐痰的人们。他们扔一个垃圾，脸上毫无愧疚之感，他们不知道扔一个废纸团，扔个塑料包装都会污染环境;他们不知道清洁工们费了多大力气所清洁的地面，就被他们的一个小垃圾所破坏。他们不知道他们无意中吐出的痰会使很多人得上感冒，而那些的病的人也不知道，是地上的痰所让他们的病。大家都知道现在森林面积大幅度减少，对啊!那都是人们乱砍伐树木惹得祸，使得动物没有生活环境所死亡。没有森林的保护也会使得沙尘暴破坏城市，沙尘暴使得许多人们丧生。使往常茂密的森林变成了荒凉的沙漠。

美文,大概就是美的化身,它是一种情感,一种体验和一种表达。下面是我带来的经典英语美文摘抄，欢迎阅读!经典英语美文摘抄篇一 什么东西比金钱更重要 It is physically impossible for a well-educated intellectual, or brave man to make money the chief object① of his thoughts; as physically impossible as it is for him to make his dinner the principal object of them. 一个受过良好 教育 、有头脑的、有胆识的人完全不可能将金钱当作他考虑的主要对象，正如他完全不可能将美餐当做他主要考虑对象一样。 All healthy people like their dinner, but their dinner is not the mainobject of their lives. So all healthy-minded people like making money--ought to like it and to enjoy the sensation② of winning; but the main object of their lives is not money; it is something better than money. 所有健康的人都喜欢享用美餐，但美餐并不是他们生活的主要目标。同样道理，所有思想健全的人都喜欢挣钱--喜欢并体验挣到钞票的兴奋感是正当的;然而，他们生活的主要目标并不是金钱，而是比金钱更珍贵的东西。 A good soldier, for instance③, mainly wishes to do his fighting well. He is glad of his pay--very properly so --and justly grumbles④ when you keep him ten months without it; still, his main notion⑤ of life is to win battles, not to be paid for winning them. 例如，一位优秀的士兵主要想打好仗。他为自己的薪饷感到高兴--完全合乎情理;假如，你扣发他十个月军饷，他发牢骚理所应当。不过，他的人生主要目标仍然是打胜仗，并非为了薪饷而打胜仗。 So too of doctors. They like fees no doubt--ought to like them; yet the entire object of their lives is not fees. They, on the whole desire to cure the sick, would rather cure their patients and lose their fee than kill them and get it. And so with all other brave and rightly trained men: their work is first, their fee is second, very important always, but still second. 医生也是如此。毫无疑问，他们都喜欢收诊费--本应如此;然而他们人生的全部目标并不是诊费。总的说来，他们都想把病人治好，而且宁愿把病人治好而得不到诊金，也不愿为了诊金而把病人治死。所有其他有胆识的、受过正当培训的人也是如此：他们总是工作第一、报酬第二。报酬尽管总是非常重要，但还是第二。 But in every nation, there is a vast class of people who are cowardly⑥, and more or less stupid. And with these people, just as certainly the fee is first and the work second, as with brave people the work is first and the fee second. 可是，在每个国家，都有一大批怯懦的、多少有点愚蠢的人。对于这些人而言，无疑是报酬第一、工作第二，正如有胆识的人工作第一、报酬第二一样。 And this is no small distinction⑦. It is the whole distinction in a man. You cannot serve two masters; you must serve one or the other. If your work is first with you, and your fee is second, work is your master. 这决非细微差异，这是根本性差异，区分一个人的根本性差异。你不能侍奉两个主人，你必须侍奉其中一个，非此即彼。假如就你而言是工作第一、报酬第二，那么工作就是你的主人。 Observe, then, all wise work is mainly threefold⑧ in character. It is honest, useful, and cheerful. I hardly know anything more strange than that you recognize honesty in play, and do not in work. 请注意，一切明确的工作本质上都具有三重性：诚实、有用和愉悦。人们在娱乐中讲究诚实而在工作中却不讲诚实--据我所知，没有比这更奇怪的事情了。 In your lightest games you have always someone to see what you call "fair play". In boxing you must hit fair; in racing, start fair. Your watchword is fair play; your hatred, foul play. Did it ever strike you that you wanted another watchword⑨ also, fair work, and another hatred also, foul⑩ work? 在最不重要的比赛中，你总是请人做裁判，确保人们常说的公平竞赛。 拳击 中，你出拳必须公正;赛跑时，你起跑必须公正。你的 口号 就是公正比赛，你所深恶痛绝的就是违反规则。那么，你可曾想过，你还需要另一个口号，那就是老老实实地工作;你深恶痛绝的应是投机取巧。 经典英语美文摘抄篇二 Mother & Child 妈妈与孩子 It was Christmas 1961. I was teaching in a small town in Ohio where my twenty-seven third graders eagerly anticipated the great day of gifts giving. 那是1961年的 圣诞节 。我在俄亥俄州的一个小镇上教小学三年级。班上27个孩子都在积极参加"礼物赠送日"的活动。 A tree covered with tinsel and gaudy paper chains graced one corner. In another rested a manger scene produced from cardboard and poster paints by chubby, and sometimes grubby, hands. Someone had brought a doll and placed it on the straw in the cardboard box that served as the manger. It didn't matter that you could pull a string and hear the blue-eyed, golden-haired dolly say, "My name is Susie." "But Jesus was a boy baby!" one of the boys proclaimed. Nonetheless, Susie stayed. 教室的一角被一棵树装点得熠熠生辉，树上缀满了金银丝帛和华丽的彩纸。教室的另一角是一个涂着海报油彩由纸板制成的马槽，这出自孩子们那胖乎乎、脏兮兮的小手。有人带来了一个娃娃，把它放在纸板槽里的稻草上(假装小耶稣)。只要拉拉它身上的一条细绳，这个蓝眼睛、金发的娃娃就会说道，"我叫苏西"，不过这都没有关系。一个男孩提出："耶稣可是个小男孩呀!"不过苏西还是留了下来。 Each day the children produced some new wonder -- strings of popcorn, hand-made trinkets, and German bells made from wallpaper samples, which we hung from the ceiling. Through it all she remained aloof, watching from afar, seemingly miles away. I wondered what would happen to this quiet child, once so happy, now so suddenly withdrawn. I hoped the festivities would appeal to her. But nothing did. We made cards and gifts for mothers and dads, for sisters and brothers, for grandparents, and for each other. At home the students made the popular fried marbles and vied with one another to bring in the prettiest ones. " You put them in a hot frying pan, Teacher. And you let them get real hot, and then you watch what happens inside. But you don't fry them too long or they break."So, as my gift to them, I made each of my students a little pouch for carrying their fried marbles. And I knew they had each made something for me: bookmarks carefully cut, colored, and sometimes pasted together; cards and special drawings; liquid embroidery doilies, hand-fringed, of course. 每天孩子们都会做点儿新玩意--爆米花串成的细链子、手工做的小装饰品和墙纸样做的德国式风铃，我们把这些风铃挂在了天花板上。但自始至终，她都是孤零零地远远观望，仿佛是隔了一道几里长的障碍。我猜想着这个沉默的孩子发生了什么事，原来那个快乐的孩子怎么突然变得沉默寡言起来。我希望节日的活动能吸引她，可还是无济于事。我们制作了许多卡片和礼物，准备把它们送给爸爸妈妈、兄弟姐妹、祖父母和身边的同学。学生们在家里做了当时很流行“油炸"玻璃弹子，并且相互比着，要把最好看的拿来。"老师，把玻璃弹子放在热油锅里，让它们烧热，然后看看里面的变化。但不要炸得时间过长否则会破裂。"所以，我给每个学生做了一个装"油炸弹子"的小袋作为礼物送给他们。我知道他们每个人也都为我做了礼物：仔细剪裁、着色，或已粘集成串的书签; 贺卡 和特别绘制的图片;透明的镶边碗碟垫布，当然是手工编制的流苏。 The day of gift-giving finally came. We oohed and aahed over our handiwork as the presents were exchanged. Through it all, she sat quietly watching. I had made a special pouch for her, red and green with white lace. I wanted very much to see her smile. She opened the package so slowly and carefully. I waited but she turned away. I had not penetrated the wall of isolation she had built around herself. 赠送礼物的那天终于到了。在交换礼物时我们为对方亲手做的小礼品不停地欢呼叫好。而整个过程，她只是安静地坐在那儿看着。我为她做的小袋很特别，红绿相间还镶着白边。我非常想看到她笑一笑。她打开包装，动作又慢又小心。我等待着，但是她却转过了身。我还是没能穿过她在自己周围树起的高墙，这堵墙将她与大家隔离了开来。 After school the children left in little groups, chattering about the great day yet to come when long-hoped-for two-wheelers and bright sleds would appear beside their trees at home. She lingered, watching them bundle up and go out the door. I sat down in a child-sized chair to catch my breath, hardly aware of what was happening, when she came to me with outstretched hands, bearing a small white box, unwrapped and slightly soiled, as though it had been held many times by unwashed, childish hands. She said nothing. "For me?" I asked with a weak smile. She said not a word, but nodded her head. I took the box and gingerly opened it. There inside, glistening green, a fried marble hung from a golden chain. Then I looked into that elderly eight-year-old face and saw the question in her dark brown eyes. In a flash I knew -- she had made it for her mother, a mother she would never see again, a mother who would never hold her or brush her hair or share a funny story, a mother who would never again hear her childish joys or sorrows. A mother who had taken her own life just three weeks before. 放学后，学生们三三俩俩地离开了，边走边说着即将到来的圣诞节：家中的圣诞树旁将发现自己心系已久的自行车和崭新发亮的雪橇。她慢慢地走在后面，看着大家拥挤着走出门外。我坐在孩子们的小椅子上稍稍松了口气，对要发生的事没有一点准备。这时她向我走来，双手拿着一个白色的盒子向我伸过来。盒子没有打包装，稍有些脏。好像是被孩子未洗过的小手摸过了好多遍。她没有说话。"给我的吗?"我微微一笑。她没出声，只是点点头。我接过盒子，非常小心地打开它。盒子里面有一条金色的链子，上面坠着一块闪闪发光的“油炸"玻璃弹子。然后我看着她的脸，虽只有8岁，可却是成人的表情。在她深棕色的眼睛里我找到了问题的答案。我在一瞬间明白过来--这是她为妈妈做的项链，她再也见不到的妈妈，再也不能抱她、给她梳头或一起讲 故事 的妈妈。她的妈妈已再也不能分享她充满童稚的快乐，分担她孩子气的忧伤。就在3个星期前她的妈妈离开了人世。 I held out the chain. She took it in both her hands, reached forward, and secured the simple clasp at the back of my neck. She stepped back then as if to see that all was well. I looked down at the shiny piece of glass and the tarnished golden chain, then back at the giver. I meant it when I whispered," Oh, Maria, it is so beautiful. She would have loved it."Neither of us could stop the tears. She stumbled into my arms and we wept together. And for that brief moment I became her mother, for she had given me the greatest gift of all: herself. 我拿起那条链子。她用双手接过它，向前探了探身，在我的脖子后把简易的项链钩系好。然后她向后退了几步，好像在看看是否合适。我低下头看着闪闪发亮的玻璃珠和已失去光泽的金色链子，然后抬起头望着她。我很认真地轻声说道：“哦，玛丽亚，这链子真漂亮。你妈妈一定会喜欢的。"我们已无法抑制住泪水。她踉踉跄跄地扑进我的怀里，我们都哭了。在那短暂的一刻我成了她的妈妈，而她送给了我一份最珍贵的礼物：她的信任和爱。By Patricia A. Habada 经典英语美文摘抄篇三 FAMILY FAMILY= (F)ATHER (A)ND (M)OTHER, (I) (L)OVE (Y)OU A man came home from work late, tired and irritated, to find his 5-year old son waiting for him at the door. Daddy, may I ask you a question? Yeah sure, what is it? replied the man. Daddy, how much do you make an hour? That's none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing? the man said angrily. I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour? pleaded the little boy. If you must know, I make $20 an hour. Oh, the little boy replied, with his head down. Looking up, he said, Daddy, may I please borrow $10? The father was furious, If the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you are being so selfish. I work hard everyday for such this childish behavior. The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door. The man sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy's questions. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money? After about an hour or so, the man had calmed down, and started to think: Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $10 and he really didn't ask for money very often. The man went to the door of the little boy's room and opened the door. Are you asleep, son? He asked. No daddy, I'm awake, replied the boy. I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier, said the man, It's been a long day and I took out my aggravation on you. Here's the $10you asked for. The little boy sat straight up, smiling. Oh, thank you daddy! He yelled. Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up bills. The man, seeing that the boy already had money, started to get angry again. The little boy slowly counted out his money, then looked up at his father. Why do you want more money if you already have some? the father grumbled. Because I didn't have enough, but now I do, the little boy replied. Daddy, I have $20 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you.
摘抄是指从文刊、文件等资料里阅读的时候，把语言优美，值得品析，值得学习的词语， 句子 ，段落记录到本子上，闲暇时拿出来翻阅。下面是我整理的250字美文摘抄，一起来看看吧。
我的家，有那么一个院子，院子中有一方池塘，池塘里盛开着莲花……忘了在哪年哪月的哪一天清晨，抱着自己在梦醒的虚无里哭泣……竹林的灯火，到过了沙漠，七色的国度，灰色的漩涡，将我卷入了迷雾。
看不清的双手，一朵花传来谁经过的温柔，穿越千年的伤痛，无所谓结果。我知道，知道你一直在哀愁的尽头等我。总这样用一种虚拟的想像填充苍白的大脑，或许歌声幻化了凄凉的人儿，也了却了因爱而起的沧桑。
干瘪的笑，枯萎的脸，找不着那一排排叫青春的足迹，或许岁月抹去了这段记忆，也一并带走了所有的伤痛。亲爱的，是在逃避吗？还是急于忘却什么，连同自己？
已经有四年了吧，她取出小提琴，上面积了厚厚一层灰。她试着拉了几下，果然琴音干涩沙哑。打开盒子，她拿起松香，试着给琴润弦。母亲走进来，欣慰的说：“终于肯再拉小提琴了！”她听着母亲的话，心里很不是滋味，那种涩涩的感觉，是愧疚吧。
用松香润了十几天，可以拉了。她看着琴谱，拉起舒伯特的《小夜曲》。邻居男孩跑过来惊奇地说：“哟，你又在‘锯木头’啊！”锯木头吗？男孩说的没错，现在的她，琴音平淡无奇，甚至有些刺耳，跟以前的水平相差太多。她知道太久不练会生疏，但没想到会退步到初学者的状态。
她眼神黯淡，她知道，自己早已回不到过去了。
如果不是太过于在乎；如果不是太过于执着；也许就不会一点点的伤害自己，一点点的流失记忆。曾经多少的欢与笑，经不起一丝烘烤。来不及的明天，只有期待还是如期而约。伤心过·悲痛过来来回回不知道失与落。我绝望的回头，可怎么也忘不掉，轻轻的，轻轻的说你好，眼中有着丝丝自嘲，嘴角挑起讽刺的笑。淡淡的对自己说：永远不要回头！
自己还是不明白自己的所需要，到底是自己的不够好，还是你的不需要，我也都无从知道。你走过的世界是否会有我的存留？
一个人有什么样的心境，就有什么样的人生态度和人生追求。一个有最高心境的人必然追求诗意的人生。反过来，如果一个人在自己的生活实践中能够有意识地追求诗意的
人生，那么他一定会同时提升自己的心境，人生的艺术化就是追求诗意的人生，诗意的人生就是充满创造的人生，充满爱的人生。如花香，无须刻意呼吸，只在心跳之间，脉搏跃动之际，便会有扑鼻的倾向随风潜入心间，如一泓甘泉在心中潺潺冒出。心清意淡，在不知不觉间弥漫着一种淡雅而素颜的清香，也许还会招来许多的花蝶，以及各色的小精灵。不愿将水清云淡的心境归结为寂寞，虽说我这个年龄多有些无病呻吟的嫌隙，但总还有一些高层次的精神追求。
只有启程，才会到达理想和目的地，只有拼搏，才会获得辉煌的成功，只有播种，才会有收获。只有追求，才会品味堂堂正正的人生。
太阳每天都不辞劳苦地升起
巴尔扎克说过“不幸，是天才的进升阶梯，信徒的洗礼之水，弱者的无底深渊”。风雨过后，眼前会是鸥翔鱼游的天水一色；走出荆棘，前面就是铺满鲜花的康庄大道；登上山顶，脚下便是积翠如云的空蒙山色。
在这个世界上，一星陨落，黯淡不了星空灿烂，一花凋零，荒芜不了整个春天。人生要尽全力度过每一关，不管遇到什么困难不可轻言放弃。
春天来了，迎着温暖的春风，踏着灿烂的阳光。我们走在去公园的路上。
你看，路边的迎春花又换上她那娇黄色的裙子，绽开灿烂的笑容。
你瞧，公园里河边的柳树，舒展开了身子，随风舞动。
你听，沉睡了一个冬天的小河，换上春装从家里跑了出来。又唱起了他那动听的歌，欢快地跑着，跳着。
我躺在山坡上，沐浴着温暖的阳光，享受着风儿温柔的抚摸，看着蓝天上飞翔的风筝，是多么惬意。突然听到一个小孩喊到：“春天来了！春天来了！我爱春天！”作文
阁楼外，晓梦轻寒。
雨又淅淅沥沥个不停了，恼人的，这春雨。
梨花胜雪，海棠铺绣。
你说过，你会在海棠盛开的时候，循着幽幽的胡同，骑着高头大马来迎我。你说会我一辈子的荣华宝贵。
又一年的风，穿过胡同，梨花雨，湿了谁的梦？
纷飞的花瓣，一如那年你马蹄轻扬，浮尘轻舞。一步一回头。风烟弥漫的路口，渐行渐远的白衣身影在濡湿的眼底看不清你的容颜。哒哒的马蹄一声声扣响在心里，被凿出一个洞，无数虚无的风漫进来，心空空空空……
无声的是你的不舍，还有我不变的着恋。
长安，梦想破灭的地方。
以为寒窗数十载，苦读诗书，终有一日会得以施展才华，被考官相中，实现“书中自有黄金屋”的愿望。
一路跋涉，盘缠早已散尽。几番求荐，屡遭官吏勒索。寄食旅馆，马儿也早已典当了。饥寒交迫，漂泊长安。
那些达官显贵的纨绔子弟，一个个托着“礼部待郎之侄”“董丞相外省远戚”的拜贴，掷于主考官座位之上，然后趴在桌子上，就着试卷的墨香，无忧睡去……
而我，一介书生，搁上笔，在心里默念：娘子，再等三个月，待放榜那天，我一定，一定会回到你身边。
乱石横卧的山路崎岖、艰险。
虔诚者在前面带路，身后是强者、弱者、年轻人、老年人、统治者、半饥半饱的农夫……有的脚底起泡，精疲力尽，有的满腔忿懑，有的产生怀疑。
他们计算迈出的步伐，不时询问：还有多远？
虔诚者以歌声作为回答。
他们听他唱歌，皱起眉头，但不敢走回头路。
人流的惯性和朦胧的希望驱策他们向前。
他们减少睡眠，缩短休息时间，展开互相超越的激烈竞赛，唯恐落后蒙受欺。
一个个黄昏尾随白昼来临，一条条地平线落在身后。未知的邀请以看不见的信号向他们招手。
他们的表情变得冷峻，抱怨越来越刺耳。
小时候爱吃菠萝。父亲把菠萝买回来后，削皮、切片，再把切片后的菠萝放到清水里浸泡。然而，令我想不通的是，每次，父亲都要在浸泡菠萝的清水里放入一点盐。
盐是咸涩的，而菠萝是甜的，盐的苦，不会冲淡菠萝的甜吗?
父亲说，盐的苦，不但不会冲淡菠萝的甜，反而会让菠萝显得更甜。因为正是有了盐的苦作铺垫，作反衬，才让我们感到菠萝的甜更甜。
让甜更甜的，不是甜，在甜中加甜，只会麻木我们的味觉和神经。让甜更甜的，是苦，正如让星星更亮的，不是光，而是黑暗;正如成功的'路上，历经了坎坷、挫折和失败的“苦”，才让我们倍感成功的“甜”。
值得一提的是她极高的吵架本领，这不仅是一项技术，还是一种艺术。谁惹了她，定会两手叉腰站在街心，亮开嗓门把那人骂得狗血喷头，唾沫四溅，会让你想起朱自清描写如牛毛、如花针的春雨。
理亏时，在众人的谴责中，两腿一盘坐在地上，开始唱哭，她边哭边骂，声音婉转、悠扬，比戏台上小生的唱腔都有味道。
我们个个如河岸上搁浅的鱼，张着嘴模仿，断不敢出声的。有时她干脆躺在地上唱哭，又是一番别样的风景。不用劝，越劝闹得越凶。她会趁没人时，快速溜回家。在那科技不发达的年代，看她表演成了我们的一种乐趣。
木生火、火生土、土生金……深谙五行学说的国人，谁都知道土地的潜力，因此圈地盖房一下子成了小城最热门最流行的产业，地老板、房老板自不必说，煤老板、饭老板、衣老板、烟老板、酒老板……所有老板们都看到了土能生金，都想分一杯羹，一个倾其所有全民造房正在形成。地价推动房价，需求决定价格，越盖越高的楼盘如同庄稼施了化肥疯长。
然而，好景不长。小城突然一天所有的脚手架停止了转动，一个个装修华丽的售楼部门前冷落，楼盘销售按兵不动。“烂尾”一词成了这个小城最流行的语言。一座一座的烂尾楼如同一具一具的僵尸挺立在那里。
野鸽子成群结队在烂尾楼上空盘旋，在楼房里安营扎寨。一对情侣站在高高的楼顶拖儿带女“咕……咕……咕”地欢叫不停。
8月4日，三下乡活动已经过去了很多个日子了，可是每次想到那段时间，我都觉得特别的怀念。想起那段时间，总觉得时间过的特别快，一下子就过去了，但却留下很多珍贵的、美好的回忆。
那个时候，和同学们一起带学生，一起完成每天的工作，一起玩耍；和学生们每天一起上课，一起聊天，一起玩游戏。那些时光是那么的美好，以至于让我如此的怀念，那么的想念那些人，那些事。即使已经过去了那么多天时间，但是总觉得那些日子还是在昨天，一切事物在脑海里都还那么的清晰，不愿忘记。
还记得走的那个早上，学生们来到学校为我们送行，甚至留下了不舍的泪水，让我们每个人心里都触动了。那天到最后，我们每个人都是怀着很不舍的心情，无奈的坐车走了。那天在车上，我们都在讨论，什么时候才能再次回到那里，再见到他们。我们都说要以后大家一起组织回来看望那群可爱的孩子们。希望时间可以满足我们这个小小的心愿。
她怕麻烦，生活总是很懒散。周末时，她坐在图书馆的角落，耳朵上插有耳机，总是单曲循环一首歌，心不在焉的翻着书，偶尔会发呆，她可以坐一个下午。
躺在床上，心血来潮想要写一封信给好友，可提起笔，却不知如何下笔，思来想去，她写下了自己的近况。拿着信下楼，她把信投进了信箱。无意中抬头，入目满眼是绿，街道两旁树枝上的绿叶，将蔚蓝的天空遮盖得严严实实，只剩下中间所露出的点点缝隙。她又陷入了回忆。
或许是上辈子跟车有仇吧，大到飞机，小至汽车，她一坐上就会晕车，唯一喜爱的代步工具是摩托车。她近视450度，母亲说多看看外面的世界，对眼睛有好处，于是父亲便经常带她出去兜风。坐在摩托车上，她很享受风吹过来时的凉爽，也喜欢早晨空气的清新。无聊时，她便抬头仰望那被遮挡住的天空，绿叶急速向后闪去。直视前方时，绿叶密不透风，嘴角便溢出一丝恬静的微笑。
不识庐山真面目，只缘身在此山中。
——题记
大多数人，都应该听过“庄周梦蝶”的故事。可又谁能辨出：到底是庄周梦到了蝴蝶？还是蝴蝶梦到了庄周？
人生如梦，迷茫。我们也无法得知：人生是虚拟的，还是真实的？
但是，做梦时，梦境中是发展你根本无法左右。而人生不同，你尽可以通过努力，决定你的人生道路。
人生既漫长又短暂，它不是你的父母，不会在家门口等你。人生会在你荒芜的的时候悄然流逝。你尽可以荒废一辈子，你父母在时，会劝你。但当他们不在时，谁又会理会你。不过，请放心，你生命的尽头会随着人生一齐等你。
碌碌无为是一辈子，轰轰烈烈也是一辈子。每人的是独一无二的，我相信没有人会甘愿平凡。那何不为自己奋斗？
是人就会有荒废的时候。但只要在之后，不在荒废自己，为自己的人生奋斗。那就是最好的。

我爱小草，爱他那朴实的美，爱他们顽强的品格，爱他们无私奉献的精神。
小草不择地势，不怕狂风暴雨，不怕雷击点闪，无畏严寒酷暑，不管条件怎样恶劣，他都顽强地生长着，把一切都贡献给大地，默默无闻地装点着大自然。
春回大地，万物复苏，小草倔强地从土里钻出脑袋，一下子铺满了大地。他给故乡编织着装扮春天的衣裳；给孩子们铺上了柔软美丽的地毯，让孩子们在草坪上追逐、嬉戏。
金湖中学新校区有一片美丽的竹林，位于校园西南角。
竹林四季常青。远远望去，竹子拥挤在一起，像一座绿色的宫殿，在蓝天白云的映衬下更加生机勃勃。
当你走近看时，竹子正手拉手，肩并肩，树枝交错，树叶覆盖。微风吹来，他们像沙沙的声音跳舞，像春蚕嚼桑叶，像小夜曲。
走进竹林，沿着林中落叶铺满的小路走，就像走过绿雾，踩在地毯上，柔软舒适。
新金的竹林真美！
潮州是一座优秀的旅游城市。
素有古城之称，潮州有八大景点，滨江长廊和人民广场。滨江长廊的城墙雄伟壮观；草坪上全是“黄金”；古榕树像一把大开的绿伞；韩江就像一条棕色的腰带。人民广场的喷泉有黄色、红色、蓝色和绿色。还有像火箭一样高耸的柱子；几乎要上天了。
潮州真美！我爱潮州！
姨妈家旁边有一个很漂亮的湖，叫北湖。美丽的北湖像一面大镜子。湖里有许多鱼在自由游动。
湖边长着许多柳树。微风吹着细细的柳条，美丽的柳树欢快地起舞。
在美丽的湖中有一座拱桥，叫做凌影桥。桥上来往的行人很多，很热闹。
北湖，太美了！我爱你。
这地方真美！走着走着，一棵棵桂花树耀入眼帘。一阵风吹来了，树上的一朵朵金色的小花争着抢着散发香气。
我慢慢地闭上了眼，听到野营鸟婉转而又清脆的歌声。嗅到一阵阵迷人的芳香！睁开眼，看向前，那在风中沐浴的桂花一朵接着一朵轻盈的飘落下来好似一位姑娘在风中舞蹈。不一会儿风停了，草坪上有许多被风吹落的金色的桂花，看着那绿油油的草坪上开满了一朵朵金色的小花，我缓慢地走着。
我的家乡是个好地方，有热闹的太白广场，有风景优美的河滨公园，有清澈的府河。在街上，路边树木茂盛，花朵盛开。人们在广场上唱歌、跳舞，在河滨公园里散步、放风筝。每到周末，河滨公园的上空满是各种各样的风筝，有的是美人鱼，有的是小燕子的，有的是蝴蝶，还有的是蜻蜓，颜色各异，好看极了。
这真美！我爱我的家乡！
我的家乡在湖南省常德市。那里有美丽的洞庭湖，它是中国第二大淡水湖，湖水碧绿、风光秀丽，不但是美丽的风景区，还是著名的鱼米之乡。
常德的物产非常丰富，有甜甜的蜜桔、肥美的鱼虾、白白的大米、天然的珍珠以及甘甜的美酒，同时矿产十分丰富。
常德是“中国优秀旅游城市”，也是历史文化名城，我非常热爱我的家乡，欢迎小朋友们来我的家乡做客！
生命就是希望，是人生行程的曙光。漠视生命，那可能使你自己仅有的一点希望之光熄灭，消逝。随之而来的只有伸手不见五指的黑暗，你会坠入不见天日的深渊。
生命中不是永远快乐，也不是永远痛苦，这两者是相辅相成的。正如花朵一般，花开时是美好的，花落时也是美好的，因为花朵已重归大地母亲的怀抱。这样看来，快乐固然好，痛苦又何尝不美丽？
记得有这样一个真实的故事……
上星期的美术课上，老师用不同的树叶做了一幅美丽的图画，我觉得好新奇。
星期天，我和妈妈在部队的营区大院散步，一片枫叶落了下来。我弯腰捡了起来，仔细看了一下对妈妈说：“妈妈，这片叶子多像小金鱼的尾巴呀？”妈妈笑了笑，也弯腰捡起一片冬青树的叶子：“我们把两片叶子拼起来，不就是一条金鱼了吗？”于是，我和妈妈动手捡了好多各种各样的叶子带回了家。我们用白纸作底，拼成了金鱼、公鸡、花瓶。
10月9日上午，我校校长接到上级通知，下午要来我校参观，给我们带来了祝福和关心。为了给主任留个好印象，我班和8班、4班准备清理一下。
我们带着扫帚、喷壶和其他工具来到校园的任何一个角落。经过半个小时的打扫，我们的校园变得更加整洁了！
下午，主任准时来到我们学校，视察了我们学校的风景。导演走后，感慨地说；“学习环境真棒！”
美，是个令人心动的话题。每个人都可以从不同的角度来诠释美，定义美。
中国古代唐朝时期，人们视丰腴为美，只有杨玉环，引得多少人羡慕的眼光，走上了贵妃的宝座。
古希腊人崇尚的是所缔造出的和谐，他们坚信只有和谐的东西才是美的，万事万物莫不尽然。
早晨一醒来，推天窗户。哇，好美丽啊！大朵大朵的花儿开了，嫩绿嫩绿的小草发芽了。我这才发现，春天已悄无声息的来了。
春天带着它的微笑来了，它让万物苏醒，鸟语花香。是你让这个连空气都灰蒙蒙的城市变得这样美，让我们身临其境。春天，你不仅美化了城市，还给农民伯伯带来了希望，是你让种子发芽，让农民伯伯脸上露出欣慰的笑容。
是你给我们带来了那么多的快乐，在这里我向你表示感谢。春天，谢谢你！
我看见过广阔的原野，游览过色彩斑斓的花园，却从没有看见过英华园这样的花园。
英华园的花这美啊，美的能让你赞不绝口；英华园的花真香啊，香的能让你心情舒畅；英华园的草真绿啊，绿的仿佛是一块绿镜；英华园的草真青啊，青的仿佛是一片草的海洋。你站在英华园花花草草的中间，你会感到无比幸福。一阵风拂过，你会闻到花的芬芳，草的清新。啊！英华园的`花花草草是多么的美啊！
我们的英华园里有一个美丽的求知园，漂亮极了！春天，求知园里：花儿开了，草儿绿了，它们风一吹过，仿佛在向我哈腰点头。夏天，树木郁郁葱葱，花瓣比初春的时候更娇嫩了，更加变得粉红了。秋天落叶纷纷起舞地落下来。冬天漫天的雪花翩翩起舞，落在没有叶子的树枝上，落在每一个干草上，也很漂亮，在远处看去都像一个白茫茫的小花园。
我们的英华园真美呀！
英华园，在我眼里是最美的，我在绿树成阴，鲜花盛开，美丽的农村学校上过学，但是自从来了英华，就被她的美深深打动了。
英华的树，粗壮而嫩绿，英华的草，娇嫩而嫩绿，英华的花更美了，红得通红，黄得发亮，非常美，英华的建筑，更是了得，高楼，大餐厅，面积非常的大，再加上晴朗的天空，英华反而更美了，求知亭的琉璃瓦闪闪发光，非常美。
冬天的的风变得特别冷，一吹到身上非常的冷就算穿了袄的同学也非常冷。冬天的树木变得光秃秃的，好像是一棵枯树。大家别看太阳照得很强烈。但是也特别的冷。我们也穿上了棉衣棉裤大袄小袄。
冬天的英华园可真冷啊！
我先画丰收的景色，那是农民伯伯的欢笑声构成的，金色的稻穗把稻杆压弯了腰，风翻起了层层波浪。
我又画那金黄色的草坪，秋风吹掉了小草的绿色的大衣，轻轻的给她换上金黄色的披风。
我再画树林，树林里的小树像昂首挺胸的解放军军叔叔在站岗。
我还要画大雁，大雁排成人自形的队伍互相告诉着：“明年我们再回来。”
秋天的画真美！
天转凉，风变爽，细雨霏霏，秋天悄悄地走到我们身边。
花儿慢慢地凋谢，她低着头，弯着腰，愁眉苦脸地说：“秋天呀秋天，你来的实在太早了。”
草儿慢慢地脱去了她最喜欢的绿纱裙，慢慢地干枯了。
菊花开了，有的红、有地黄、有的紫、有的白，美丽极了。
果子熟了，黄澄澄的是梨，红通通的是苹果，亮晶晶的是葡萄……
秋天的画美丽极了。
今天早上，我从睡梦中醒来朝窗外一看，又是一片浓浓的大雾，不过今天的雾比上次浓多了，整个世界就像铺了一块洁白的纱布。我仔细的观察了一下，雾还会动，真是令人不得不赞叹大自然的神奇。可是这是为什么呢？
我们平常在寒冷的季节，在冬天，我们在说话的时候都会哈出一口白气，我想，这也是大自然哈下的一口气吧！
望着这美丽的天气，我想起语文书上学的对联：“雾锁山头山锁雾，天连水尾水连天。”大自然真美呀！
生活中的美并非一定是精雕细琢或惊天动地的，它往往体现在看似平常的小事中，给你感动，让你温暖:助人为乐是一种美，对人和善是一种美，诚实守信是一种美，积极向上是一种美，不屈不挠也是一种美……这时，你会发现，美其实无处不在:一种精神，一个场景，一幅画面，一句唠叨却温暖的话语，甚至是一双手，一个背影……都会让你怦然心动，感动不已。
世界充满爱，爱无处不在--友爱，邻里之爱，社会之爱--这些都是生活中美的构筑。而对于生活中的美，我们要付出的，有时仅仅是一句体谅的话，一张微笑递来的纸巾，或是无足轻重却凝聚了深深爱心的一块钱……让我们一起付出爱，建起一份生活中的美!
一遇春，便见许多孩子扑蝴蝶。小小的身子在花丛中穿梭，时而飞快前行，时而悄悄接近，时而猛地往前扑……孩子们像五彩缤纷的蝴蝶，在花丛中玩耍。捉住了，便骄傲地展示一番，又恋恋不舍地将它放出，目送它消失在繁密的花丛间。春的美，就在他们眼里。
叮叮咚咚的泉水敲击着石头，发出悦耳的响声。它生气时，便用尽全力冲击石头，发出一种恐怖的叫声；开心时，便慢悠悠地掠过石头，把石头清洗的亮晶晶的；疲倦时，便停在那，让太阳照耀它的身体，发出耀眼的光芒。我们身边的美就如泉水一般真实自然。

每个人的身上都有保护环境的责任，这对我们的生活环境有着密切的关系，随便扔垃圾，随地吐痰，扔废电池，这些不起眼的小事都会污染环境。
平时我们不难在路上看见随地扔垃圾和随地吐痰的人们。他们扔一个垃圾，脸上毫无愧疚之感，他们不知道扔一个废纸团，扔个塑料包装都会污染环境;他们不知道清洁工们费了多大力气所清洁的地面，就被他们的一个小垃圾所破坏。他们不知道他们无意中吐出的痰会使很多人得上感冒，而那些的病的人也不知道，是地上的痰所让他们的病。大家都知道现在森林面积大幅度减少，对啊!那都是人们乱砍伐树木惹得祸，使得动物没有生活环境所死亡。没有森林的保护也会使得沙尘暴破坏城市，沙尘暴使得许多人们丧生。使往常茂密的森林变成了荒凉的沙漠。
虽然有很多人污染环境，可也有保护环境的人们。
自从人们开始提倡环保，绿色。我们的各个学校都开始有一批批的志愿者队伍，小到小学，大到大学。连中年人，老年人也有参加。他们保护环境，提倡用环保购物袋，不用塑料袋，因为他难以分解;不要随地扔电池，请把他们放入小区专业的回收站;不要多开汽车，请尽量步行或乘公交车。领导大家不要私自砍树他们，他们带头种树，使空气更加清新，重新建造森林建造动物的家。领导大家不要随地吐痰，他们清洁地面，让我们生活在一个干净，舒适的环境下。他们坚信家园会更美好。
“保护环境，人人有责”从现在起，从现在开始，让我们行动起来，环保，保护环境，使城市的明天更加美好。
阅读是人生的一种美好享受。阅读经典美文可以让学生的心灵得到滋润和净化,穿越时空与作者展开灵魂的交流,在不断提升的精神境界中让生命之树得以枝繁叶茂。我精心收集了优秀的英语美文，供大家欣赏学习! 优秀的英语美文：The Love of Beauty The love of beauty is an essential part of all healthy human nature. It is a moral quality. The absence of it is not an assured ground of condemnation, but the presence of it is an invariable sign of goodness of heart. In proportion to the degree in which it is felt will probably be the degree in which nobleness and beauty of character will be attained. Natural beauty is an all-pervading presence. The universe is its temple. It unfolds into the numberless flowers of spring. It waves in the branches of trees and the green blades of grass. It haunts the depths of the earth and the sea. It gleams from the hues of the shell and the precious stone. And not only these minute objects but the oceans, the mountains, the clouds, the stars, the rising and the setting sun---all overflow with beauty. This beauty is so precious, and so congenial to our tenderest and noblest feelings, that it is painful to think of the multitude of people living in the midst of it and yet remaining almost blind to it. All persons should seek to bee acquainted with the beauty in nature. There is not a worm we tread upon, nor a leaf that dances merrily as it falls before the autumn winds, but calls for our study and admiration. The power to appreciated beauty not merely increases our sources of happiness---it enlarges our moral nature, too. Beauty calms our restlessness and dispels our cares. Go into the fields or the woods, spend a summer day by the sea or the mountains, and all your little perplexities and anxieties will vanish. Listen to sweet music, and your foolish fears and petty jealousies will pass away. The beauty of the world helps us to seek and find the beauty of goodness. 优秀的英语美文：The Happy door Happiness is like a pebble dropped into a pool to set in motion an ever-widening circle of ripples. As Stevenson has said, being happy is a duty. There is no exact definition of the word happiness. Happy people are happy for all sorts of reasons. The key is not wealth or physical well-being, since we find beggars, invalids and so-called failures, who are extremely happy. Being happy is a sort of unexpected dividend. But staying happy is an acplishment, a triumph of soul and character. It is not selfish to strive for it. It is, indeed, a duty to ourselves and others. Being unhappy is like an infectious disease. It causes people to shrink away from the sufferer. He soon finds himself alone, miserable and embittered. There is, however, a cure so simple as to seem, at first glance, ridiculous; if you don’t feel happy, pretend to be! It works. Before long you will find that instead of repelling people, you attract them. You discover how deeply rewarding it is to be the center of wider and wider circles of good will. Then the make-believe bees a reality. You possess the secret of peace of mind, and can forget yourself in being of service to others. Being happy, once it is realized as a duty and established as a habit, opens doors into unimaginable gardens thronged with grateful friends. 优秀的英语美文：Born to Win Each human being is born as something new, something that never existed before. Each is born with the capacity to win at life. Each person has a unique way of seeing, hearing, touching, tasting and thinking. Each has his or her own unique potentials---capabilities and limitations. Each can be a significant, thinking, aware, and creative being---a productive person, a winner. The word “winner” and “loser” have many meanings. When we refer to a person as a winner, we do not mean one who makes someone else lose. To us, a winner is one who responds authentically by being credible, trustworthy, responsive, and genuine, both as an individual and as a member of a society. Winners do not dedicated their lives to a concept of what they imagine they should be; rather, they are themselves and as such do not use their energy putting on a performance, maintaining pretence and manipulating others. They are aware that there is a difference between being loving and acting loving, between being stupid and acting stupid, between being knowledgeable and acting knowledgeable. Winners do not need to hide behind a mask. Winners are not afraid to do their own thinking and to use their own knowledge. They can separate facts from opinions and don’t pretend to have all the answers. They listen to others, evaluate what they say, but e to their own conclusions. Although winners can admire and respect other people, they are not totally defined, demolished, bound, or awed by them. Winners do not play “helpless”, nor do they play the blaming game. Instead, they assume responsibility for their own lives. They don’t give others a false authority over them. Winners are their own bosses and know it. A winner’s timing is right. Winners respond appropriately to the situation. Their responses are related to the message sent and preserve the significance, worth, well-being, and dignity of the people involved. Winners know that for everything there is a season and for every activity a time. Although winners can freely enjoy themselves, they can also postpone enjoyment, can discipline themselves in the present to enhance their enjoyment in the future. Winners are not afraid to go after what he wants, but they do so in proper ways. Winners do not get their security by controlling others. They do not set themselves up to lose. A winner cares about the world and its peoples. A winner is not isolated from the general problems of society, but is concerned, passionate, and mitted to improving the quality of life. Even in the face of national and international adversity, a winner’s self-image is not one of a powerless individual. A winner works to make the world a better place.
