中学生英语美文：True Nobility
In a calm sea every man is a pilot.
But all sunshine without shade, all pleasure without pain, is not life at all. Take the lot of the happiest—it is a tangled yarn纱线. Bereavements and blessings, one following anther, make ussad and blessed by turns. Even death itself makes life more loving. Men come closest to their true selves in the sober moments of life, under the shadows of sorrow and loss.
In the affairs of life or of business, it is not intellect that tells so much as character, not brains so much as heart, not genius so much as self-control, patience, and discipline,regulated by judgment.
I have always believe that the man who has begun to live more seriously within begins to live more simply without. In an age of extravagance and waste铺张浪费, I wish I could show to the worldhow few the real wants of humanity are.
To regret one's errors to the point of not repeating them is true repentance悔改. There is nothing noble in being superior to some other man. The true nobility is in being superior to yourprevious self.
中学生英语美文：You can do anything
If anyone tries to tell you that you can't work hard enough to face the task in front of you--show them that you're tough.
If anyone tries to tell you that you are not that strong, don't listen to discouragement--know that you belong.
If anyone tries to tell you that you can't sing your own song, or make your way in the world...prove them wrong.
Everyone gets an angel... You can't always see them because sometimes they are invisible.
Sometimes they are your pet when he kisses you...
Sometimes they are a small treasure you find... an angel might even be your friend.
Those angels are quiet, but what they are really saying is: "pink clouds! A good day is just around the corner."
So, if you begin to worry too much, just remember...
Somewhere an angel is looking out for you, too.
中学生英语美文：Today is a gift
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 tothe 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 thewindow 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 wherehis world would be broadened and enlivened使活泼 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 ofthe 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 onthe 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 windowportrayed 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 wassaddened 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 himalone. 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 turnto 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 noteven see the wall. She said, "Perhaps he just wanted to encourage you."
