你说来日方长，邀我焚香煮茗；你说心在咫尺，转眼人走茶凉。
——题记
雪沫乳花浮午盏，蓼茸蒿笋试春盘。人间有味是清欢。苏轼的一阙瘦词，道出了他清旷、闲雅的生活之态。怀抱着对这首词的喜爱，我邂逅了于丹的新书——《人间有味是清欢》。
人间有味是清欢，这是苏轼在几度人生起伏过后的蓦然体悟，也是于丹在这半世浮华中对生命的思考。书中，于丹用自己的五十载春秋告诉我们，当有一天，我们踏尽千山万水，尝遍世态百味，唯有回到最初的明朗、清白，方可称之为真正的朴素，真正的清欢。然而，这又有多少人可以体会？苏轼用了一世光阴，于丹用了半世春秋。那我们呢？最为普通的我们，则又需要多久才会明白？于丹说，来日方长并不长。的确，在生活中，我们虚度了多少光阴，留下了多少遗憾，我们可以做的，唯有好好珍惜。
世人都说“来日方长，来日方长”，然而真正懂得生活，真正体味过生活的人才会明白，来日方长并不长。林徽因曾言“爱的，不爱的，一直都在告别中”，本以为来日方长，本以为可以爱一生，殊不知一转眼就来不及了，一转眼便再也见不到了。
20xx的元春佳节，人人都沉浸在新年的欢乐之中，而对我家来说，这并不是一件值得庆祝之事。我的曾祖母，离世了……
打我记事开始，曾祖母就是一个老人；她那么老，好像从来未曾年轻过，她那么老，好像生来只为了做我的曾祖母。记得小的时候，我就爱听曾祖母讲述她的故事。从鬼子进村到嫁作人妇，从生活变故到岁月变迁，仿佛在她的口中有着永远也讲不完的故事。那时光，岁月静好，时光荏苒，曾祖母安详地坐在竹藤椅上，慢慢地摇，轻轻地摇，摇出了那一个又一个动人的故事。
摇着摇着，思绪便摇到了那战火纷飞的年代。曾祖母的声音颤抖着。她的前半生过得并不安稳。七十五年前的那个秋日，风儿萧瑟；七十五年前的那个小山村，变得不再安宁。日本人侵略了曾祖母的故乡。那时的曾祖母只身一人，在二十岁的如花年华里，忽的失去了一切。烈火的焚烧，飞机的盘旋，无情的掠夺，使原本坚强的曾祖母变得不再坚强。在今后的生活里，她开始变得敏感，变得胆小。轻微的响声，都可以触碰到她敏锐的神经。但惟有在亲人面前，她是那么的坚强，那么的坚定。
我痴痴地想，痴痴地听，痴痴地以为可以这样过一生……
曾祖母越来越老了，我也在渐渐长大，我听到的，也不再仅仅是一个个的故事，更多的是人生道理。每每离开她，她总是微笑着告诉我“下次一定要再来哦！”我点点头。然而光阴似梭，“下次”再不知是何时。再转身，再回首，一人，一椅，一树，而已。
世上有两件事不能等，一行善，二孝顺。记得再后来见到曾祖母时，已是在医院的病房中。苍白的脸，灰白的墙，黄白的床单，一切都是那么压抑，难以呼吸。她那么静静地躺在那儿，依旧那么安详。她是那么胆小的一个人，可面对死亡，却依旧含笑着。我知道，树已落叶，椅已不摇，人已苍老……
母亲说，曾祖母太老了，她要去另一个世界了。
离开医院的时候，我红了眼眶。我拉了拉母亲说，走了走了。母亲不说话。我一下子就哭了，又使劲拽了拽母亲说，妈，走了走了。母亲被我拽得后退了两步，我发现，我也站在原地没动……母亲也湿了眼角，嘴里重复着我说的话：走了走了……
我总以为一个人再老总可以再活一年吧，然而有一天，曾祖母还是离开了我们。就像土垛的院墙，风雨多了，总有一天会塌下来，没了，完了……曾祖母的一生我也知道的很少，我总以为来日方长，总以为可以慢慢了解她，孝顺她，然而一切都来不及了。就像，她爱我很多，我只是喊她——曾祖母。
我输了，输给了来日方长。
有人为我们沏了一壶感情深挚的热茶，我们却总说来日方长；于是将茶碗搁置，待在花间一游再回，或他处小酌而归，以为它依旧会热香扑鼻等在那里，殊不知这世上回首之间便是人走茶凉。
请趁热喝这碗浓茶吧！
于丹错过了生命中的张主任和耿总，才蓦然醒悟“来日方长并不长”，我错过了生命中的曾祖母，才清晰明了“来日方长并不长”。史铁生说“我什么也没忘，但是有些事只适合收藏。不能说，也不能想，却又不能忘。”我想，曾祖母的故事便也是这样的吧。它们是内心深处的温暖与朦胧，无法再组织成言语，只是为了收藏。张主任与耿总的承诺也已不再是承诺，它们是于丹内心深处的温馨与寂寥，和那些故事一样，仅仅为了收藏。不要错过了才明白珍惜。来日方长，并不长。
【训练重点】
1.提高对感受与思考生活的认识，增强感受与思考生活的自觉意识，高一册第一单元作文同步训练设计。
2.掌握感受与思考生活的方法。
3.表达（写作）自己对生活的独特感受与思考。
【表达训练】
板块一
题目：回忆自己生活中感受最深的一件事、一个人物、一个场面或一个镜头，讲给同学听。
要求：按照口语表达的要求，运用口语表达的一般技巧。
活动：按小组，组员轮流讲演；每小组推荐一至二名表达较好的，进行全班讲演。
指导：作文是精神产品，反映着作者的思想和感情。因此，任何一篇佳作，都具有独创性。这独创性，可以反映在题材的发掘和思想认识的深刻上，也可以反映在构思、手法和语言的新颖上，但基础则是作者在生活中有自己的独特感受和发现。有了独特的感受和发现，才可能有深刻的思想、新颖的构思、鲜活的形象。所以，有自己的感受和发现，是作文的开始。可以说，没有对生活的真实的感受，就不可能写出个性化的作文。因此，我们要提高对感受与思考生活的认识，增强感受与思考生活的意识。只有这样，我们才能写出个性鲜明的作文。
训练感受能力，首先要解决的是感受什么的问题。许多学生都会觉得生活是那样平淡无奇，没有什么值得可感受可写作的素材。其实，生活中什么都可以成为感受的对象。一个自然的景象，一件实物（如建筑物、实用东西等），一件细微的小事，一个小小的微笑，一丝淡淡的思绪，生活中人们的一句话（哪怕是只言片语），一个细节，一幅图画（包括新旧照片等），一篇文章或文中的一段话、一个句子、一个词语，一个历史人物，一个历史事件，这些都能引起无限遐想，引发某种感受，成为感受对象，甚至成为写作的契机和切入点。并不一定非要什么重大事件、重要人物、精彩场面、奇妙情景才能引发感受，成为感受的关注点，高中三年级语文教案《高一册第一单元作文同步训练设计》。无数写作实践表明，能给人深刻感受的事物往往很平凡，甚至微不足道。关键是要做生活的有心人，随时留意周围的人和事及其带来的种种感受和发现。一位腿部受伤的同学，只能用一只脚走路，教室、寝室都在七楼，就这样每天来来往往，可很少有人去留意，似乎司空见惯，与己无关。但有一位同学注意到了，感受到了这位同学身上表现出来的毅力和精神，在周记中讴歌了这位同学，说出了自己的感受和受到的启发、教育。这就是感受。
当然，生活中的感受对象不同，感受的`重点和方法也就不同。一般来说，感受对象大致可分为这几类：自然景观、实物、人事、图画、内心世界等。例如对自然景观的感受，重要的是要以审美的态度、审美的目光去感知，在情感的催化下引起审美联想和想象，从而达到对感受对象美的感受和领悟。对实物的感受，则要以科学的态度、现实的目光去感知对象，它需要运用分析、综合、比较、分类等方法去把握对象的特征，并探究对象的因果联系，从而认识这一事物是什么而不是什么，其原因又是什么，由此引发对现实生活的感悟。
这里还要强调一点的是，观察与感受是两个完全不同的概念。观察着眼于外界的客观存在，以获取外界信息为主要目的；而感受是由外界事物的影响而产生的一种心理活动，它以观察为前提，是对观察所得深化为内心情感上的体验，是一种内心细腻、微妙的情绪和感情的波动。但两者都要以人的感官作为必要的生理条件。
课外练习：
1.生活是一本书，一本丰富多彩、酸甜苦辣样样俱全的大书。那里藏有挖之不尽、取之不竭的宝藏。请你仔细回忆你生活中感受最深的一幕，把它记录下来。题目自拟，文体、字数不限。
在文末附录上你为什么要选择这段材料？它哪一点打动了你？从中你悟到了一点什么人生哲理？通过这个练习，你对感受生活又有了哪些新的体会和认识？
2.许多同学觉得生活很平淡，“三点一线”，没有什么可感受可写作的素材。其实，在我们的校园生活中，同学的一句话、一个眼神，老师的衣着变化，天气的阴晴冷暖变化，课文中的一个精彩词句或插图，等等，都可能引发你的无限感受。关键是你要做生活的有心人，养成细致了解和认识生活的习惯，培养感受和思考生活的意识。请你就课文中的某一幅插图作仔细的观察，用说明的方法写一段文字，客观地把它介绍给读者；然后，仔细回忆一下你在观察中获得了哪些认识和情感体验，感悟到了一点什么，用文字把它记录下来。
完成后，请认真比较两文，看看有何异同。请你用理性的文字把这些看法和认识记下来。不必面面俱到，只谈你自己独到的看法。

He alone lives, while other people, slaves of ceremony, let life slip past time in a kind of dream. Once conform ,once do what other people do finer than they do it, and a lethargy steals over all the finer nerves and faculties of the soul, He becomes all outer show and inward emptiness; dull, callous, and indifferent. 凡是意识到自我的人从今往后才是独立的;他永远不知疲倦，他明白生命苦短，所以完全沉浸于深深的而又适度的幸福之中。他独立生活，而别人是繁文缛节的奴隶，在醉生梦死之中听从生命悄然流逝。一旦循规蹈矩，一旦人为亦为，呆滞就笼罩着灵魂中一切灵敏的神经和官能。灵魂变得徒有其表，其中空空;迟钝，木然、冷漠。

不一会儿，一个饿得发慌的人，用衣袖蒙着头，用绳子绑着鞋，昏昏沉沉地走了过来。
When Qian Ao saw this, he held food in his left hand and tea in his right, shouting:

"Hey, come and eat your fill."
“喂!来吃个饱吧!”
The man raised his head suddenly, opening his eyes wide and said angrily:
那个人猛地抬起头来，双眼圆睁，生气地说:
"It is exactly because I don't want to take this kind of hand-out food given by people shoutingcharity that I have starved to such an extent!"
“我就是因为不吃这种人家吃喝着施舍的食物，才饿到这种地步的啊!”
As soon as Qian Ao heard this, he quickly apologized to the man.

But eventually the man starved to death because he was unwilling to take the food.
但那人终因不肯吃他的东西而饿死了。
In ancient times, at the foot of Mount Tai surrounded by mountains, one often heard of tales oftigers devouring people.
古代，在群山环抱的泰山脚下，常常听到老虎吃人的事情。
One day, Confucius and his disciples passed by Mount Tai.
有一天，孔子带着弟子路过泰山。

She was kneeling in front of a new grave and weeping bitterly.
正跪在一座新坟前面痛哭。
The disciples didn't know what to do. Confucius ordered one of them to go forward and ask: "Who has died? Why are you weeping in such sorrow?"

The woman raised her head, wiped her red and swollen eyes, sobbed and answeredintermittently:"In the past, my father-in-law was devoured by a tiger.

Huan Gong, King of the State of Qi and the first overlord in the Spring and Autumn Period, inorder to show his sincerity to enlist able and virtuous men and scholars from various places,had a bright torch lit in front of his palace day and night.
春秋时期的第一霸王齐桓公，为了表明自己招贤纳士的诚意，在宫廷前燃起了明亮的火炬，准备日夜接待各地前来的人才。
But the torch had been burning for one whole year, and yet nobody came.
但是，火炬燃烧了整整一年，也没有人前来求见。
One day, a villager from the eastern suburb of the capital wished to have an audience with HuanGong, claiming that he had the ability to recite the multiplication table.
一天，来了一个国都东郊的乡下人，声称自己有念九九算术口诀的才能，要求拜见齐桓公。
When Huan Gong heard of this, he thought it was very funny and sent an officer to tell thevillager:
齐桓公听完报告，觉得很可笑，派传令官告诉乡下人:
"How could you hope to see the King just because you can recite the multiplication table?"
“难道你凭会念九九算术口诀，就想来见国王吗?”
The villager replied: "I hear that the torch before the palace has been burning for one year, yetnobody came.
乡下人回答说:“我听说，宫前火炬燃烧了一年，也没有人来求见。
This is because His Majesty is a king of great talent and bold vision.
这是因为国王是个雄才大略的君主。
All the talented men near and far couldn't be certain that His Majesty would have a highopinion of them, so they dared not come to see you.
四方人才都以为君主不一定能看得上他们，所以不敢来求见。
My knowledge of the multiplication table is truly trivial, but if His Majesty could receive me withcourtesy, then His Majesty need not worry that those with real ability and learning would notcome."
我的九九算术口诀，的确是微不足道的，但是如果国王能以礼接待我，那么还怕那些有真才实学的贤士能人不愿来吗?”
He then continued: "Mount Tai is huge because it never expels any single small stone; the sea isdeep because it gathers together every small stream.
接着说:“泰山之所以大，那是因为它从来不排斥每一颗小石子;江海之所以深，那是因为它汇集起每一条小溪流。
The Book of Songs says: `The wise kings of ancient times often went to peasants who cutfirewood and grass to ask for their advice. Only this way can you pool the wisdom of themasses."'
《诗经》中说过，‘古代英明君王有事，都去请教砍柴割草的农夫，只有这样才能集思广益。”，
Hearing this, Huan Gong of Qi repeatedly nodded assent, and accorded this villager a grandreception.
齐桓公听了，连连点头称是，立刻以隆重的礼节，接待了这个乡下人。
As expected, within one month, many able and virtuous men from all places came one afteranother to see Huan Gong.
果然，不出一个月，四方贤士能人都纷纷前来求见齐桓公。
文章 阅读是英语的重要部分，在英语考试中占很重要的比例。下面就是我给大家整理的 高一英语 文章阅读，希望大家喜欢。高一英语文章阅读篇一 Joan Chen is famous both in China, where she grew up, and in the United States，where she now lives. How did Joan become a famous actress in two countries? It’s an interesting story. Joan Chen was born in Shanghai in 1961. When she was 14, some people from a film studio (制片厂) came to her school and chose her to study at the studio. She was happy about this chance, but mainly she liked the idea of getting out of school. Soon, however she discovered that she really liked acting. At age 18, she won the Golden Rooster, China's top film prize. In the late 1970s, Joan's parents, who were doctors, moved to the United States. Joan joined them when she was 20 and went to college there. Her parents hoped she would study medicine. Instead, she majored in film and later looked for work as an actress. To work in the United States, Joan had to start all over again. She told Hollywood that she was an actress in China, but she only got some small parts in TV shows. One day Joan went to speak to a director who was making a movie called Tai - pan. The interview didn't go well. As she walked away, a man in a car noticed her. The man was Dino DeLaurntiis, the film’s producer. He immediately offered her a leading part. A year later, she started in Bernardo Bertolucci’s The Last Emperor and was on her way to worldwide fame. 1. What was turn about Joan Chen when she was 14? A. Some people came to her school and chose her as an actress. B. She liked to study at the studio just because she wanted to be famous. C. The most important reason for her going to the studio was that she wouldn't like to stay at school. D. She found she. was fond of acting even before she was 14. 2 When did she move to the States? A. In the late 1970s. B. After she graduated from college. C. In the late 1980s. D. In the early 1980s interview with a director ____. A. made her on the way to being famous in the world B. led to no immediate good result C. made her play a leading part in Tai - pan D. gave her a chance to act in The Last Emperor 高一英语文章阅读篇二 A child who has once been pleased with a tale likes, as a rule, to have it retold in almost the same words, but this should not lead parents to treat printed fairy stories as formal texts. It is always much better to tell a story than read it out of a book, and, if a parent can produce what, in the actual situation of the time and the child, is an improvement on the printed text, so much the better. A charge made against fairy tales is that they harm the child by frightening him or making him sad thinking. To prove the latter, one would have to show in a controlled experiment that children who have read fairy stories were more often sorry for cruelty than those who had not. As to fears, there are, I think, some cases of children being dangerously terrified by some fairy story. Often, however, this arises (出现) from the child having heard the story once. Familiarity with the story by repetition turns the pain of fear into the pleasure of a fear faced and mastered. There are also people who object to fairy stories on the grounds that they are not objectively true, that giants, witches, two - headed dragons, magic carpets, etc. do not exist; and that, instead of being fond of the strange side in fairy tales, the child should be taught to learn the reality by studying history. I find such people, I must say so peculiar (奇怪的) that I do not know how to argue with them. If their case were sound, the world should be full of mad men attempting to fly from New York to Philadelphia on a stick or covering a telephone with kisses in the belief that it was their beloved girl -friend. No fairy story ever declared to be a description of the real world and no clever child has ever believed that it was. author considers that a fairy story is more effective when it is ____ . A . repeated without any change B. treated as a joke C. made some changes by the parent D. set in the present to the passage, great fear can take place in a child when the story is ____ . A. in a realistic setting B. heard for the first time C. repeated too often D. told in a different way advantage claimed (提出) for repeating fairy stories to young children is that it ____. A. makes them less fearful B. develops their power of memory C. makes them believe there is nothing to be afraid of D. encourages them not to have strange beliefs author’s mention of sticks and telephones is meant to suggest that ______. A. fairy stories are still being made up B. there is some misunderstanding about fairy tales C. people try to modernize old fairy stories D. there is more concern for children's fears nowadays 8. One of the reasons why some people are not in favor of fairy tales is that _______. A. they are full of imagination B. they just make up the stories which are far from the truth C. they are not interesting D. they make teachers of history difficult to teach 高一英语文章阅读篇三 With the possible exception of equal rights, perhaps the most heated argument across the United States today is the death penalty (死刑). Many argue that it is an effective deterrent (威慑) to murder, while others think there is no enough proof that the death penalty reduces the number of murders. The argument advanced by those opposed (反对) to the death penalty is that it is cruel and inhuman punishment, that it is tile mark of a bad society and finally that it is of questionable effectiveness as a deterrent to crime (罪行) anyway. In our opinion, the death penalty is a necessary action. Throughout recorded history there have always been those peculiar persons in every society who made terrible crimes such as murder. But some are more dangerous than others. For example, it is one thing to take the life of another in time of blind anger, but quite another to coldly plan and carry out the murder of one or more people in the style of a butcher. Thus, murder, like all other crimes, is a matter of different degree. While it could be argued with some reason that the criminal in the first instance should be merely kept from society, such should not be the fate of the latter type murderer. The value of the death penalty as a deterrent to crime may be open to discussion. But the majority of people believe that the death penalty protects them. Their belief is proved by the fact that the death penalty prevents murder. For example, from 1954 to 1963, when the death penalty was carried out from time to time in California, the murder rate remained between three and four murders for each 100, 000 population. Since 1964 the death penalty has been done only once, and the muder rate has risen murders for each 100, 000 population. The sharp climb in the state's murder rate, which began when killings stopped, does not happen by chance. It certainly shows that the death penalty does deter many murderers. If the law about death penalty is vetoed (否决), some people will be murdered- some whose lives may have been saved if the death penalty were in effect. This is really a life or death matter. The lives of thousands of people must be protected. 9. The main purpose of this passage is to _____. A. speak for the majority B. support a veto C. speak ill of the government D. argue for the value of the death penalty 10. Which of the following is among the heated arguments across the USA besides death penalty? A. Air pollution. B. The war against Iraq. C. Equal rights. D. Election of president. numbers in the last paragraph show that ______. A. if they stick to death penalty, the number of murders will be reduced B. death penalty almost stopped from 1954 to 1963 C. the population of California has risen D. death penalty is of little value 12. It can be inferred that the writer thinks that ______. A. the death penalty is the most important problem in the United States today B. the second type of murderers (in Paragraph 4) should be sentenced to death C. the veto of the law about death penalty is of little importance D. the value of the death penalty as a deterrent to crime is not to be discussed 以上就是我为你整理的高一英语文章阅读，希望对你有帮助!

While everyones’ arteries harden gradually with age, a team of researchers led by epidemiologist Sara Adar of the University of Michigan School of Public Health discovered that higher concentrations of fine particulate air pollution were linked to a faster thickening of the inner two layers of the carotid artery. 根据近日发表在《公共科学图书馆•医学》杂志上的研究，呼吸含大量颗粒物的(雾霾)空气可能会让你的动脉硬化速度加快。尽管每个人的动脉都会随着年龄增大而逐渐硬化，但密歇根大学公共卫生学院的流行病学家萨拉•阿达领导的研究团队发现，空气中的细微颗粒污染物浓度升高与颈动脉内膜和中膜增厚加快有关。 Because the carotid artery feeds blood to the neck, head, and brain, a narrowing or blockage there can trigger strokes. And general atherosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries, is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease, heart attack, and heart failure. 由于颈动脉要向颈部、头部和大脑供血，颈动脉变窄或堵塞可能会引发中风。通常动脉硬化是冠心病、心脏病发作和心力衰竭的主要风险因素。 Past research has demonstrated that the rates of stroke and heart attack are higher in polluted areas, but experts haven’t been able to pinpoint just how polluted air is raising peoples’ risk for heart attack or stroke. This time, Adar’s team, along with Joel Kaufman, professor of environmental and occupational health sciences and medicine at the University of Washington, was able to directly measure carotid artery thickness and link it to air pollution data. 以往的研究已经表明，在受污染地区中风和心脏病发作的几率更高，但专家还未能查明空气污染是如何提高人们心脏病或中风发作的风险的。这次阿达带领的团队和华盛顿大学环境与职业健康科学和医学专业的教授乔尔•考夫曼联手合作，已经能够直接测量颈动脉厚度，并将其和空气污染数据联系起来。 The study involved 5,362 people between the ages of 45 and 84 living in six different cities that are part of the MESA AIR (Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis and Air Pollution) research project, led by Joel Kaufman. Each participant underwent two carotid artery ultrasounds three years apart. These measurements were then correlated with data on fine particulate air pollution. 乔尔•考夫曼领导的这一动脉硬化和空气污染多种族研究项目调查了居住在6个不同城市、年龄在45岁到84岁之间的5362个人。每个参与者隔三年都要做一次颈动脉超声波检查。研究人员把这些测量 结果和细颗粒物空气污染的数据联系起来。 While the artery walls of all participants increased by 14 micrometers per year, the arteries of those who were exposed to higher levels of fine particulate air pollution in their homes thickened faster than their neighbors in other parts of the city. 尽管所有参与者的动脉壁每年都会增厚14微米，但那些家周边空气中细颗粒污染物水平更高的人动脉壁比住在同城其他地区的人增厚速度更快。 Interestingly, the researchers also found the reverse effect to be true: reducing fine particulate air pollution levels slowed down atherosclerosis progression. Carotid artery measurements are considered by experts to be an indicator for arterial plaque and hardening throughout the body. 有趣的是，研究人员还发现反之亦然：降低空气中的细颗粒污染物水平会减慢动脉硬化的速度。专家认为颈动脉的测量数据是动脉斑块和周身硬化的指示标志。

He alone lives, while other people, slaves of ceremony, let life slip past time in a kind of dream. Once conform ,once do what other people do finer than they do it, and a lethargy steals over all the finer nerves and faculties of the soul, He becomes all outer show and inward emptiness; dull, callous, and indifferent. 凡是意识到自我的人从今往后才是独立的;他永远不知疲倦，他明白生命苦短，所以完全沉浸于深深的而又适度的幸福之中。他独立生活，而别人是繁文缛节的奴隶，在醉生梦死之中听从生命悄然流逝。一旦循规蹈矩，一旦人为亦为，呆滞就笼罩着灵魂中一切灵敏的神经和官能。灵魂变得徒有其表，其中空空;迟钝，木然、冷漠。

It acted as such a force in England beginning in the eighteenth century, and across the entire Western World in the nineteenth. Rapid advances were made in the use of scientific findings in the manufacture (制造) of goods, which has changed ideas about work. One of the first changes was that other forms of energy have taken the place of human power. Along with this came the increased use of machines to manufacture products in less time. People also developed machines that could produce the same parts for a product: each nail was exactly like every other nail, meaning that each nail could be changed for every other nail. This means that goods could be mass production, although mass production required breaking production down into smaller and smaller tasks. Once this was (lone, workers no longer started on the product and labored to complete it. Instead, they might work only one thousandth of it, other workers completing their own parts in certain order. There is nothing strange about this manufacturing work by today's standards. Highly skilled workers were unable to compare with the new production techniques, as mass production allowed goods of high standard to be produced in greater number than could ever be done by hand. But the skilled worker wasn't the only loser, the common workers lost too. Similar changes forced farmer away. The increased mechanization (机械化) of agriculture freed masses of workers from ploughing the land and harvesting its crops. They had little choice but to stream toward the rapidly developing industrial centers. Increasingly, standards were set by machines. Workers no longer owned their own tools, their skill was no longer valued, and pride in their work was no longer possible. Workers fed, looked after and repaired the machines that could work faster than humans at greatly reduced cost. 13. In this passage, which of the following is NOT considered as a change caused by the use of scientific findings in the production of goods? A. Other forms of energy have taken the place of human power. B. The increased exploitation of workers in the 19th century. C. The increased use of machines to make products in less time. D. The use of machines producing parts of the same standard. 14. The underlined word this in the first paragraph refers to ____ A. the use of scientific findings B. the practice of producing the same parts for a product C. the human power being replaced by other forms of energy D. the technology becoming the encouragement of historical change underlined word this in the second paragraph refers to the change that ______ A. each nail could be taken the place of by every other nail B. each nail was exactly like every other nail C. producing tasks became smaller and smaller D. goods could be mass produced to the writer, highly skilled workers ______ A. completely disappeared with the coming of the factory system B. were dismissed by the boss C. were unable to produce goods of high standard D. were unable to produce fine goods at that same speed as machines 17. According to the passage, what did the farmers have to do with the coming of mechanization of agriculture? A. Many of them had to leave their farmland for industrial centers. B. They stuck to their farm work. C. They refused to use machines. D They did their best to learn how to use the machines. 高一英语阅读文章篇二 Wind is the great maker of waves. There are exceptions, such as the tidal (潮汐的) waves sometimes produced by earthquakes under the sea. But the waves most of us know are produced by winds blowing over the sea . Now before constructing an imaginary life history of a typical wave, we need to know certain physical things about it. A wave has height, from trough ( low point) to crest ( high Point) . It has lengh-the distance from this crest to that of the following wave. The period of the wave means the time it takes for succeeding crests to pass a fixed point. None of these things stays the same--for all depend upon the wind, upon the depth of the water and many other matters. The water that makes up a wave does not advance with it across the sea. Each drop of water turns around in a little circle with the passing of the wave, but returns very nearly to its original position. And it is fortunate that this is so. For if the huge masses of water that make up a wave actually moved across the sea, sailing would be impossible. If we want to find the speed of a wave, we may use the following way : Speed = wavelength × frequency Here, wavelength is the distance between two high points (crests) , frequency means the number of cycles per second 18. What causes waves? A. Earthquakes and nothing else. B. Only wind. C. Wind causes most waves. D. Wind causes some waves. 19. Which of the following is true according to the passage? A. The water of a wave moves away across the sea. B. The water of a wave remains almost at the same place. C. The water of a wave goes with the passing of the wave. D. The length of a wave means the distance from the top of a wave to the bottom. speed of Wave 1 is 100 cm/s, frequency 10. The frequency of Wave 2 is 300, while its speed is twice that of Wave 1. Which of the following is right? A . The wavelengths of the two are equal. B. The wavelength of Wave 1 is 10 times longer than that of Wave 2. C. The wavelength of Wave 2 is longer than that of Wave 1. D. The wavelength of Wave 1 is longer than that of Wave 2. 高一英语阅读文章篇三 An old friend from California called from the airport to tell me that he had arrived.

the Road to Modern English At the end of the 16th century, about five to seven million people spoke English.
Nearly all of them lived in England. Later in the next century, people from England made voyages to conquer other parts of the world, and because of that, English began to be spoken in many other countries.
Today, more people speak English as their first, second or a foreign language than ever before. Native English speakers can understand each other even if they don’t speak the same kind of English.
Look at this example: British Betty: Would you like to see my flat? American Amy: Yes. I’d like to come up to you apartment. So why has English changed over time?
Actually all languages change and develop when cultures meet and communicate with each other. At fist the English spoken in England between about AD 450 and 1150 was very different from the English spoken today.
It was base more on German than the English we speak at present. Then gradually between about AD 500 and 1150, English became less like German because those who ruled England spoke first Danish and later French.
These new settlers enriched the English language and especially its vocabulary. So by the 1600’s Shakespeare was able to make use of a wider vocabulary than ever before.
In 1620 some British settlers moved to America. Later in the 18th century some British people were taken to Australia to. English began to be spoken in both countries.
Finally by the 19th century the language was settled.
At that time two big changes in English spelling happened: first Samuel Johnson wrote his dictionary and later Noah Webster wrote The American Dictionary of the English language. The latter gave a separate identity to American English spelling.
English now is also spoken as a foreign or second language in South Asia. For example, India has a very large number of fluent English speakers because Britain ruled India from 1765 to 1947. During that time English became the language for government and education.
English is also spoken in Singapore and Malaysia and countries in Africa such as South Africa. Today the number of people learning English in China is increasing rapidly. In fact, China may have the largest number of English learners.
Will Chinese English develop its own identity? Only time will tell.
第二单元 世界上的
英语 Reading 通向现代英语之路 16世纪末期大约有5百万到7百万人说英语，几乎所有这些人都生活在英国。后来，在17世纪英国人开始航海征服了世界其它地区。于是，许多别的国家开始说英语了。如今说英语的人比以往任何时候都多，他们有的是作为第一语言来说，有的是作为第二语言或外语。
以英语作为母语的人，即使他们所讲的语言不尽相同，也可以互相交流。请看以下例子： 英国人贝蒂：“请到我的公寓(flat)里来看看，好吗?” 美国人艾米：“好的。我很乐意到你的公寓(apartment)去。” 那么，英语在一段时间里为什么会起变化呢?事实上，当不同文化互相交流渗透时，所有的语言都会有所发展，有所变化。首先，在公元450年到1150年间，人们所说的英语跟今天所说的英语就很不一样。当时的英语更多地是以德语为基础的，而现代英语不是。然后，渐渐地，大约在公元800年到1150年期间，英语不那么像德语了。因为那时的英国的统治者起初讲丹麦语后来讲法语。这些新的定居者大大丰富了英语语言，特别是在词汇方面。所以到17世纪，莎士比亚所用的词汇量比以前任何时期都大。在1620年，一些英国人搬迁到美洲定居。后来，到了19世纪，有些英国人也被送往澳大利亚，两个国家的人都开始说英语了。 最后，到20世纪，英语才真正定形。那时，英语在拼写上发生了两大变化：首先，塞缪尔·约翰逊编写了词典，后来，诺厄·韦伯斯特编纂了《美国英语词典》，后者体现了美国英语拼写的不同特色。 现在，英语在南亚也被当作外语或第二语言来说。比如说，印度拥有众多讲英语很流利的人，这是因为英国于1765年到1947年统治过印度。在那期间，英语成了官方语言和教育用语。在新加坡、马来西亚和非洲其它国家，比如南非，人们也说英语。目前在中国学习英语的人数正在迅速增长。事实上，中国可能拥有世界上最多的英语学习者。中国英语会发展出自己的特色吗?这只能由时间来回答了。 Using Language 标准英语和方言 什么是标准英语?是在英国、美国、加拿大、澳大利亚、印度、新西兰所说的英语吗?信不信由你，(世界上)没有什么标准英语。许多人认为，电视和收音机里所说的就是标准英语，这是因为在早期的`电台节目里，人们期望新闻播音员所说的英语是最好的英语。然而，在电视和收音机里，你也会听出人们在说话时的差异。
当人们用不同于“标准语言”的词语时，那就叫做方言。美国英语有许多方言，特别是中西部和南部地区的方言，以及黑人和西班牙人的方言。在美国有些地区，即使是相邻城镇的两个人所说的语言都可能稍有不同。美国英语之所以有这么多的方言是因为美国人是来自世界各地的缘故。 地理位置对方言的产生也有影响。住在美国东部山区的一些人说着比较古老的英语方言。当美国人从一个地方搬到另一个地方时，他们也就把他们的方言随着带去了。因此，美国东南部山区的人同美国西北部的人所说的方言就几乎相同。美国是一个使用多种方言的大国。虽然许多美国人经常搬迁，但是他们仍然能够辨别、理解彼此的方言。
Journey Down the Mekong My name is Wang Kun. Ever since middle school, my sister Wang Wei and I have dreamed about taking a great bike trip.
Two years ago she bought an expensive mountain bike and then she persuaded me to buy one. Last year, she visited our cousins, Dao Wei and Yu Hang at their college if Kunming.
They are Dai and grew up in western Yunnan Province near the Lancang River, the Chinese part of the river that is called the Mekong River in other countries.
Wang Wei soon got time interested in cycling too. After graduating from college, we finally got the chance to take a bike trip. I asked my sister, “Where are we going?” It was my sister who first had the idea to cycle along the entire Mekong River from where it begins to where it ends.
Now she is planning our schedule for the trip. I am fond of my sister but she has one serious shortcoming. She can be really stubborn. Although she didn’t know the best way of getting to places, she insisted that she organize the trip properly.
Now I know that the proper way is always her way. I kept asking her, “When are we leaving and when are we coming back?”
I asked her whether she had looked at a map yet. Of course she hadn’t; my sister doesn’t care about details. So I told her that the source of the Mekong is in Qinghai Province.
She gave me a determined look -- the kind that said she would not change her mind. When I told her that our journey would begin at an altitude of more than 5,000 meters, she seemed to be excited about it.
When I told her the air would be hard to breathe and it would be very cold, she said it would be an interesting experience. I know my sister well.
Once she has made up her mind, nothing can change it. Finally, I had to give in. Several months before our trip, Wang Wei and I went to the library. We found a large atlas with good maps that showed details of world geography.
From the atlas we could see that the Mekong River begins in a glacier to move quickly. It becomes rapids as it passes through deep valleys, traveling across western Yunnan Province.
Sometimes the river becomes a water fall and enters wide valleys. We were both surprised to learn that half of the river is in China. After it leaves China and high altitude, the Mekong becomes wide, brown and warm. As it enters Southeast Asia, its pace slows. It makes wide bends or meanders through low valleys to the plains where rice grows. At last, the river delta enters the South China Sea.

游记Reading 沿湄公河而下的旅程 第一部分梦想与计划 我的名字叫王坤。从高中起，我姐姐王薇和我就一直梦想作一次伟大的自行车旅行。两年前，她买了一辆昂贵的山地自行车，然后还说服我买了一辆(山地车)。
去年她去看望了我们的表兄弟——在昆明读大学的刀卫和宇航。他们是傣族人，在云南省西部靠近澜沧江的地方长大，湄公河在中国境内的这一段叫澜沧江，在其他国家(境内)叫湄公河。很快，王薇使表兄弟也对骑车旅游产生了兴趣。大学毕业以后，我们终于有了机会骑自行车旅行。我问我姐姐：“我们要去哪儿?”首先想到要沿湄公河从源头到终点骑车旅游的是我的姐姐。现在她正在为我们的旅行制定计划。 我很喜欢我姐姐，但是她有一个很严重的缺点。她有时确实很固执。尽管她对去某些地方的最佳路线并不清楚，她却坚持要自己把这次旅游安排得尽善尽美。于是，我就知道这个尽善尽美的方式总是她的方式。我不停地问她，“我们什么时候出发?什么时候回来?”我还问她是否看过地图。当然她并没有看过——我的姐姐是不会考虑细节的。于是，我告诉她，湄公河的源头在青海省。她给了我一个坚定的眼神——这种眼神表明她是不会改变主意的。我说，我们的旅行将从5, 000多米的高地出发，这时她似乎显得很兴奋。当我告诉她那里空气稀薄，呼吸困难，而且天气很冷时，她却说这将是一次有趣的经历。
我非常了解我的姐姐，她一旦下了决心，什么也不能使她改变。最后，我只好让步了。 在我们旅行前的几个月，王薇和我去了图书馆。我们找到一本大型地图册，里面有一些世界地理的明细图。我们从图上可以看到，湄公河发源于西藏一座山上的冰川。起初，江面很小，河水清澈而冷冽，然后它开始快速流动。它穿过深谷时就变成了急流，流经云南西部。有时，这条江形成瀑布，进入宽阔的峡谷。我们俩惊奇地发现这条河有一半是在中国境内。当流出中国，流出高地之后，湄公河就变宽了，变暖了，河水也变成了黄褐色。而当它进入东南亚以后，流速减缓，河水蜿蜒缓慢地穿过低谷，流向生长稻谷的平原。最后，湄公河三角洲的各支流流入中国南海。 Using Language 夜晚的西藏山景 第二部分山中一宿 虽然是秋天，但是西藏已经开始下雪了。我们的腿又沉又冷，感觉就像大冰块。你看到过雪人骑自行车吗?我们看上去就像那样。一路上，一些身着羊毛大衣的孩子们停下来看着我们。下午晚些时候，我们发现由于天冷我们的水壶都冻上了。
然而，湖水在落日的余晖下闪亮如镜，景色迷人。像往常一样，王薇在我的前面，她很可靠，我知道我用不着给她鼓劲儿。上山很艰难，但是当我们环顾四周，(眼前的)景色让我们感到惊奇，我们似乎能看到几百里以外的地方。在某个时刻，我们发现自己置身高处，彷佛骑车穿越云层。然后我们开始下山，这非常有趣，特别是天气逐渐变得暖和多了。在山谷里，五彩斑斓的蝴蝶翩翩飞舞在我们身旁，我们还看到牦牛和羊群在吃草。这时，我们不得不把帽子、外衣、手套和长裤脱掉，换成T恤衫和短裤。 一到傍晚，我们通常就停下来宿营，(于是)，我们先把帐篷支起来，然后吃饭。晚饭后，王薇把头放在枕头上就睡觉了，而我却醒着。半夜里，天空变得清朗了，星星更亮了。(夜晚)非常安静——几乎没有风，只有篝火的火焰和我们做伴。当我躺在星空下，我想着我们已经走了多远。 我们很快就要到达云南的大理。在那里，我们的表兄弟刀卫和宇航将加入我们的行列。我们迫不及待地想要见到他们！
嗨,我的名字是马丁。费尔丁和我猜你会说我是“万里挑一的。”换句话说,没有很多人喜欢我。你看,我有肌肉疾病,这使我很弱,所以我不会跑或爬楼梯,尽快的其他人。此外,有时我很笨拙而下降的事物或撞到家具。不幸的是,医生们不知道如何让自己变得更美好,但是我非常的友好,并且已经学会适应我的残疾。我的座右铭是:一天一天地生活下去。直到我十岁的时候我却是一样的,因为其他所有的人。我习惯爬树,游泳和踢足球。事实上,我曾梦想要踢职业足球,可能代表我的国家在世界杯上的表现。然后我开始变得虚弱,直到我只能享受足球从长凳上在体育馆里。最后我走进医院检查身体。我在那儿呆了将近三个月了。我想我至少有十亿的测试,包括那使他们剪一块肌肉从我的腿,看着它在显微镜下观察。即使这一切之后,没人能给我一种疾病的名称,它是很难知道以后会发生什么吧。”一个问题是,我没有看任何与别人不同。因此,有时当一些孩子在我小学的时候我就会笑,上气不接下气的跑步后一小段路或不得不停下来休息爬到楼梯的一半。有时我太虚弱了,所以我去学校教育所遭受。每次我回来后,我感到一种没有愚蠢的,因为我是在别人后面了。我的生活轻松多了,因为我在高中同学们已经接受了我。少数人无法看到真正的人,在我的身体不让我很烦,我不去理睬他们。总之我有一个好的生活。我很高兴地发现许多事情我可以做的事情,比如写作和计算机编程。我的愿望是去上班,我公司研制的计算机软件,当我长大。去年我发明了一种计算机足球比赛和一个大公司已决定向我买。我有一个非常忙碌的生活,没有时间坐着为自己难过。以及在看电影和足球比赛与我的朋友、我花很多时间和我的宠物。我有两只兔子,一只鹦鹉,一辆坦克满了鱼和一只乌龟。妥善照顾我的宠物需要很多的时间,而且我发现它值得。我也不得不做大量的工作,特别是如果我已经离开一会儿。在很多方面,我的残疾已经帮助我变得更加强壮和心理学成为更加独立。我必须努力工作来过一个正常的生活,但它已是值得的。如果我有机会说一件事对健康的孩子,那就是:有一个残疾并不意味着你目前的生活很不满意。所以不要惋惜身心障碍者或取笑他们,不要忽略这些标准。只是接受他们,给他们鼓励活得那么丰富而饱满的生活你所做的事。感谢您阅读我的故事。

To look at the universe, anything changing makes up of something; And dream of the future, the unknown of unpredict contains lots of dreams. To overlook the life, booming buds of flowers in spring; And look around the earth , new life is full of the world . It is April now trees of flowers are smiling; and flocks of birds singing, but never find the couple ,like us. Long long beforeward, we had a good time ; however ,myself,now , no longer in the heart of you . 瞻仰夜空 闪烁的群星交织着话语 忆起过往 梦呓般的往事沉淀着感叹 遥观宇宙 变幻的景象汇成着万物 憧憬未来 莫测的的未知 编织 着梦想 俯瞰人世 成双成对的花儿点缀着一春天 放眼望去 新的生命气息散发在整个世间 值此人间四月天 那一树一树的花开 一群一群的喃呢 再也找不出我们的模样 回首望去 时光已定格在过往 如今的我 不再是你的人间四月天 关于高中英语短文带翻译：Master of Your Thoughts 掌控你的思想 You talk when you stop being at peace with your thoughts. When you can no longer dwell in the solitude of your heart, you will talk, and the sound becomes a pastime. And in much of your talking, thinking is half murdered. Thought is like a bird, and once in a cage of words it can unfold its wings, but not fly. There are people who talk ceaselessly for fear of being alone. And there are those who talk, and unknowingly show a truth about themselves which they themselves do not understand. And there are those who have the truth within them, and know it, and for that very reason don't try to put it into words. When you meet a friend on the road or in a market, let your spirit move your lips and direct your tongue. Let the voice within your mind speak to the ear of him. His soul will keep the truth of your heart, just as the taste of the wine is remembered when its colour is forgotten. 当你不在思考的时候或者内心不再感到孤独时，你便开始说话，这时候，声音就变成了一种消遣。在你说话的大部分时间里，思想处于被半扼杀的状态下。思想如同小鸟儿，一旦被关进笼子里，或许能展开翅膀，但再也不能飞翔。 有人因害怕孤独而不停地说话。有些人夸夸其谈，却缺乏知识和见地去阐述一个他们自己并不能理解的真理。当然也有这种人，他们心里有很多真理也知道这些真理的含义，正因为如此，才不用把它们付诸于言语。 当你在路边或市场遇见你的朋友时，让你内心的思想控制你的嘴唇，指挥你的舌头。用你内心的声音说给他的耳朵听。 因为他的灵魂会记住你内心的真话，正如美酒的味道会被记住而颜色却会被淡忘一样。 关于高中英语短文带翻译：翻唱达人克里斯蒂娜圭密 The Cover Singer Christina Grimmie Nowadays, with the development of Internet, people can use the Internet to do a lot of things.

第一篇：Keep Your Direction 坚持你的方向
What would you do if you failed? Many people may choose to give up. However, the surest way to success is to keep your direction and stick to your goal.
On your way to success, you must keep your direction. It is just like a lamp, guiding you in darkness and helping you overcome obstacles on your way. Otherwise, you will easily get lost or hesitate to go ahead.
Direction means objectives. You can get nowhere without an objective in life.
You can try to write your objective on paper and make some plans to achieve it. In this way, you will know how to arrange your time and to spend your time properly. And you should also have a belief that you are sure to succeed as long as you keep your direction all the time.
如果失败了你会怎么做?很多人可能会选择放弃。然而，要想成功，最可靠的方法就是坚持你的方向和目标。
在通往成功的路上，你必须坚持你的.方向。它就像一盏灯，在黑暗中为你指路，帮助你度过难关。否则，你很容易就会迷失方向或犹豫不前。
方向意味着目标。人生如果没有目标，将一事无成。
你可以试着把你的目标写在纸上，并制定实现目标的计划。这样，你就会懂得如何合理安排时间，如何正确地支配时间。而且你还要有这样的信念：只要你一直坚持自己的方向，你就一定可以成功。
第二篇：
As a high school coach, I did all I could to help my boys win their games. I rooted as hard for victory as they did.
A dramatic incident, however, following a game in which I officiated as a referee, changed my perspective on victories and defeats. I was refereeing a league championship basketball game in New Rochelle, New York, between New Rochelle and Yonkers High. New Rochelle was coached by Dan O'Brien, Yonkers by Les Beck. The gym was crowded to capacity, and the volume of noise made it impossible to hear. The game was well played and closely contested. Yonkers was leading by one point as I glanced at the clock and discovered there were but 30 seconds left to play.
Yonkers, in possession of the ball, passed off — shot — missed. New Rochelle recovered — pushed the ball up court — shot. The ball rolled tantalizingly around the rim and off. The fans shrieked.
New Rochelle, the home team, recovered the ball, and tapped it in for what looked like victory. The tumult was deafening. I glanced at the clock and saw that the game was over. I hadn't heard the final buzzer because of the noise. I checked with the other official, but he could not help me. Still seeking help in this bedlam, I approached the timekeeper, a young man of 17 or so. He said, "Mr. Covino, the buzzer went off as the ball rolled off the rim, before the final tap-in was made."
I was in the unenviable position of having to tell Coach O'Brien the sad news. "Dan," I said, "time ran out before the final basket was tapped in. Yonkers won the game."
His face clouded over. The young timekeeper came up. He said, "I'm sorry, Dad. The time ran out before the final basket."
Suddenly, like the sun coming out from behind a cloud, Coach O'Brien's face lit up. He said, "That's okay, Joe. You did what you had to do. I'm proud of you."
Turning to me, he said, "Al, I want you to meet my son, Joe." The two of them then walked off the court together, the coach's arm around his son's shoulder.
作为一名高中篮球教练，我竭尽全力体帮我的学生在比赛中取得胜利。我全力支持他们在比赛中取胜，他们也刻苦训练。
然而，在一场我所裁判的比赛之后发生了一件富有戏剧性的偶然事件。这件事改变了我对胜败的看法。那是一次蓝球冠军联赛，当时，我在纽约州的新罗谢尔市给新罗谢尔和扬克斯两个队之间的比赛作裁判。新罗谢尔队的教练是丹·奥布赖恩，而扬克斯队的教练是莱斯·贝克。体育馆内座无虚席，呼声震天。比赛顺利进行，两队比分接近，扬克斯队仅以一分的优势领先。我看了一下时钟，距离比赛结束仅剩三十秒。
扬克斯队控球在手，传球、投篮，但是没投中。新罗谢尔队重新控球，将球向场地的另一个方向传球，然后投篮。观众急切地盯着球，球沿着篮球筐边急速旋转，最终又落了下来。球迷们尖声喊叫。
主队新罗谢尔队重新把球夺过来，把球拨进篮筐，似乎已经赢得了比赛的胜利。人群的呼喊声震耳欲聋。我看了一下时钟，已经过了比赛结束时间。由于声音太大，我没有听到终场信号声。我向另外一名工作人员核对时间，但是他说不清楚。
我仍然在混乱中求助，我走近计时员——一个大约17岁的年轻人。他告诉我：“科维诺先生，当球滚出篮筐时，终场信号发出了，在最后球又被拨进篮筐之前。”
“丹，在最后那个球被拨进篮筐之前，时间已经到了。”我无可奈何地告诉奥布赖恩教练，“扬克斯队赢了。”
他脸色阴沉了下来。那个年轻的计时员走上前，说：“爸爸，对不起。在最后一个球投中之前时间就已经到了。”突然间，奥布赖恩教练的脸色就像太阳拨开了乌云，转晴了，他说：“没关系，乔。你做了你应该做的，我为你感到骄傲。”
他把脸转向我，说："埃尔，我介绍一下我的儿子，乔。"
奥布赖恩教练把胳膊搭在儿子的肩膀上，两个人一起离开了球场。
适合七年级的英语阅读文章
英语现在已经发展成为一个在世界范围内使用最广泛的语言。英语作为英美文化信息的载体和表现形式,一度深深地烙上了英美独有的文化印记。下面我收集了英语的阅读文章，很适合七年级的同学阅读欣赏，希望同学们喜欢!
You went to the butcher's for meat, the pharmacy for aspirin, and the grocery store for food. But when I spent the summer with my Grandmother in Warwick, ., she sent me down to the general store with a list. How could I hope to find anything on the packed, jumbled shelves around me?
I walked up to the counter. Behind it was a lady like no one I'd ever seen. Fake-jewel-encrusted glasses teetered on the tip of her nose, gray hair was piled on her head.
"Excuse me," I said. She looked up.
"You're that Clements kid," she said. "I'm Miss Bee. Come closer and let me get a look at you." She pushed her glasses up her nose. "I want to be able to describe you to the sheriff if something goes missing from the store."
"I'm not a thief!" I was shocked. I was seven year too young to be a thief!
"From what I can see you're not much of anything. But I can tell you've got potential." She went back to reading her newspaper.
"I need to get these." I said, holding up my list.
"So? Go get them." Miss Bee pointed to a sign on the screen door. "There's no one here except you and me and I'm not your servant, so I suggest you get yourself a basket from that pile over there and start filling. If you're lucky you'll be home by sundown."
Sundown was five hours away. I wasn't sure I would make it.
I scanned the nearest shelf for the first item on my list: pork and beans. It took me three wall-to-wall searches before I found a can nestled between boxes of cereal and bread. Next up was toilet paper, found under the daily newspaper. Band-Aids—where had I seen them? Oh, ye next to the face cream. The store was a puzzle, but it held some surprises too. I found a new Superman comic tucked behind the peanut butter.
I visited Miss Bee a couple of times a week that summer. Sometimes she short-changed me. Other times she overcharged. Or sold me an old newspaper instead of one that was current. Going to the store was more like going into battle. I left my Grandma's house armed with my list—memorized to the letter—and marched into Miss Bee's like General Patton marching into North Africa.
"That can of beans is only twenty-nine cents!" I corrected her one afternoon. I had watched the numbers change on the cash register closely, and Miss Bee had added 35 cents. She didn't seem embarrassed that I had caught her overcharging. She just looked at me over her glasses and fixed the price.
Not that she ever let me declare victory. All summer long she found ways to trip me up. No sooner had I learned how to pronounce bicarbonate of soda and memorized its location on the shelf, than Miss Bee rearranged the shelves and made me hunt for it all over again. By summer's end the shopping trip that had once taken me an hour was done in 15 minutes. The morning I was to return to Brooklyn, I stopped in to get a packet of gum.
"All right, Miss Potential," she said. "What did you learn this summer?" That you're a meany! I pressed my lips together. To my amazement, Miss Bee laughed. "I know what you think of me," she said. "Well, here's a news flash: I don't care! Each of us is put on this earth for a reason. I believe my job is to teach every child I meet ten life lessons to help them. Think what you will, Miss Potential, but when you get older you'll be glad our paths crossed!" Glad I met Miss Bee? Ha! The idea was absurd...
Until one day my daughter came to me with homework troubles.
"It's too hard," she said. "Could you finish my math problems for me?"
"If I do it for you how will you ever learn to do it yourself?" I said. Suddenly, I was back at that general store where I had learned the hard way to tally up my bill along with the cashier. Had I ever been overcharged since?
As my daughter went back to her homework, I wondered: Had Miss Bee really taught me something all those years ago? I took out some scrap paper and started writing.
Sure enough, I had learned ten life lessons:
1. Listen well.
2. Never assume—things aren't always the same as they were yesterday.
3. Life is full of surprises.
4. Speak up and ask questions.
5. Don't expect to be bailed out of a predicament.
6. Everyone isn't as honest as I try to be.
7. Don't be so quick to judge other people.
8. Try my best, even when the task seems beyond me.
9. Double-check everything.
10. The best teachers aren't only in school.
The significant inscription found on an old key---“If I rest, I rust”---would be an excellent motto for those who are afflicted with the slightest bit of idleness. Even the most industrious person might adopt it with advantage to serve as a reminder that, if one allows his faculties to rest, like the iron in the unused key, they will soon show signs of rust and, ultimately, cannot do the work required of them.
Those who would attain the heights reached and kept by great men must keep their faculties polished by constant use, so that they may unlock the doors of knowledge, the gate that guard the entrances to the professions, to science, art, literature, agriculture---every department of human endeavor.
Industry keeps bright the key that opens the treasury of achievement. If Hugh Miller, after toiling all day in a quarry, had devoted his evenings to rest and recreation, he would never have become a famous geologist. The celebrated mathematician, Edmund Stone, would never have published a mathematical dictionary, never have found the key to science of mathematics, if he had given his spare moments to idleness, had the little Scotch lad, Ferguson, allowed the busy brain to go to sleep while he tended sheep on the hillside instead of calculating the position of the stars by a string of beads, he would never have become a famous astronomer.
Labor vanquishes all---not inconstant, spasmodic, or ill-directed labor; but faithful, unremitting, daily effort toward a well-directed purpose. Just as truly as eternal vigilance is the price of liberty, so is eternal industry the price of noble and enduring success.
Two men, both seriously ill, occupied the same hospital room. One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon to help drain the fluid from his lungs. His bed was next to the room‘s only window. The other man had to spend all his time flat on his back. The men talked for hours on end.
They spoke of their wives and families, their homes, their jobs, their involvement in the military service, where they had been on vacation. And every afternoon when the man in the bed by the window could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see outside the window. The man in the other bed began to live for those one-hour periods where his world would be broadened and enlivened by all the activity and color of the world outside.
The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake. Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Young lovers walked arm in arm amidst flowers of every color of the rainbow. Grand old trees graced the landscape, and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance. As the man by the window described all this in exquisite detail, the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and imagine the picturesque scene.
One warm afternoon the man by the window described a parade passing by. Although the other man couldn‘t hear the band - he could see it in his mind‘s eye as the gentleman by the window portrayed it with descriptive words.
Days and weeks passed. One morning, the day nurse arrived to bring water for their baths only to find the lifeless body of the man by the window, who had died peacefully in his sleep. She was saddened and called the hospital attendants to take the body away.
As soon as it seemed appropriate, the other man asked if he could be moved next to the window. The nurse was happy to make the switch, and after making sure he was comfortable, she left him alone. Slowly and painfully, he propped himself up on one elbow to take his first look at the world outside. Finally, he would have the joy of seeing it for himself. He strained to slowly turn to look out the window beside the bed. It faced a blank wall.
The man asked the nurse what could have compelled his deceased roommate who had described such wonderful things outside this window. The nurse responded that the man was blind and could not even see the wall. She said, "Perhaps he just wanted to encourage you."
A young man was getting ready to graduate from college. For many months he had admired a beautiful sports car in a dealer's showroom, and knowing his father could well afford it, he told him that was all he wanted.
As Graduation Day approached, the young man awaited signs that his father had purchased the car. Finally, on the morning of his graduation, his father called him into his private study. His father told him how proud he was to have such a fine son, and told him how much he loved him. He handed his son a beautiful wrapped gift box. Curious, but somewhat disappointed, the young man opened the box and found a lovely, leather-bound Bible, with the young man's name embossed in gold.
Angrily, he raised his voice to his father and said, "With all your money you give me a Bible?" He then stormed out of the house, leaving the Bible.
Many years passed and the young man was very successful in business. He had a beautiful home and a wonderful family, but realizing his father was very old, he thought perhaps he should go to see him. He had not seen him since that graduation day. Before he could make the arrangements, he received a telegram telling him his father had passed away, and willed all of his possessions to his son. He needed to come home immediately and take care of things.
When he arrived at his father's house, sudden sadness and regret filled his heart. He began to search through his father's important papers and saw the still new Bible, just as he had left it years ago.
With tears, he opened the Bible and began to turn the pages. As he was reading, a car key dropped from the back of the Bible. It had a tag with the dealer's name, the same dealer who had the sports car he had desired. On the tag was the date of his graduation, and the words… "PAID IN FULL".
How many times do we miss blessings because they are not packaged as we expected? I trust you enjoyed this. Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; but remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for. Sometimes we don't realize the good fortune we have or we could have because we expect "the packaging" to be different. What may appear as bad fortune may in fact be the door that is just waiting to be opened.
