英语美文欣赏1

　　"I'm going to marry you one day." Beth said to her long time crush Jake. She wore her favorite blue teddy bear shirt. Her four-year-old blue eyes shined in the sun.

　　"No you're not,you're a girl." Jake said.

　　The California afternoon wind blew his light brown hair. Jumping off the monkey bars he laughed back to class.

　　Sitting alone and confused she didn't know what to do. Beth sat high on the monkey bars crying. How can her future husband just leave like that?

　　She was going to get him,but how? "I will not let him get away! I won't! I won't!"

　　15 years later:

　　"I love you,too,Jake." Hanging up the phone she caught her mom smiling. "What?"

　　"When is he coming in from France? He's been there for awhile." She sat down on her black leather couch. The house was made up of different Indian stuff. On the walls were different dream catchers. Her mother was a full blood Cherokee Indian. She passed away when Beth was eight.

　　"He has a lot of schooling to do right now. Maybe this Saturday."

　　Fixing her short overalls she thought of Jake. Who would have thought they were going to date when she turned five?

　　"Is he still living in Colorado?" Her mother Kay wore a white tank top with tan pants. And long blonde hair with pretty blue eyes. She was the most beautiful woman on Earth. And Beth is looking like her by the minute.

　　"Yeah,I hate having a long distance relationship." She plopped on a leather chair.

　　"It's ok baby,you know he loves you more than anything in this world. Love will keep you together."

　　Beth could not help but smile. Her mother is and will always be her best friend.

　　Jake sat in his hotel the school rented for him. School of law. He loved going overseas for everything. But he missed being with Beth. That hurt him the most.

　　Spending the lonely nights in the hotel made him think of how much it would hurt to spend the rest of his life without her in it.

　　Getting up off his bed he went into the bathroom. Watching his reflection in the mirror,all he could think about was Beth. He would leave Thursday,and get there Friday night.

　　Turning off the light he jumped into the cold bed. On a coffee table near his bed rested a frame with them in it. It was taken at a beach about two years ago. It was the best time of their lives.

　　It was Thursday morning and Beth waited for Jake's morning phone call. He would call at eight — it was ten.

　　Beth got out of bed and got her favorite blue tank top. She took off her shirt and screamed at the top of her lungs.

　　"What? What?" Her mother came rushing into her room. Staring at her naked daughter she saw the lump of her breast. "Does it hurt?"

　　Beth could only say "No." Looking at the lump,she cried in pain.

　　"Let's get you to the doctor."

　　"Ok,let me get dressed."

　　Shutting the door behind her,the room became silent. Shaking she put on her shirt,and ran out into the living room.

　　"Mom,where are my blue shorts?"

　　"In the dresser,second drawer."

　　Finishing getting dressed she hopped into her car. Her red mustang drove like a baby.

　　They waited for the doctor to come in. Beth could not begin to think she had cancer. As her mind drifted off her cell phone rang.

　　"Hello?" Her heart skipped a beat,hoping it was Jake.

　　"Hey,how are you?" He asked out of breath.

　　"Could be better. Why didn't you call me this morning?"

　　"Sorry,school got ahold of me today."

　　"Why are you out of breath?" Looking stunned she stared at her mother.

　　"I'm so sorry,he'll call back." Her mother gave Beth a hug.

　　The doctor came in,and greeted his self. "Hello. I'm Kevin Baker." He smiled while examining her breast.

　　It is well that young men should begin at the beginning and occupy the most subordinate positions. Many of the leading businessmen of Pittsburgh had a serious responsibility thrust upon them at the very threshold of their career. They were introduced to the broom,and spent the first hours of their business lives sweeping out the office. I notice we have janitors and janitresses now in offices,and our young men unfortunately miss that salutary branch of business education. But if by chance the professional sweeper is absent any morning,the boy who has the genius of the future partner in him will not hesitate to try his hand at the broom. It does not hurt the newest comer to sweep out the office if necessary. I was one of those sweepers myself.

　　Assuming that you have all obtained employment and are fairly started,my advice to you is “aim high”. I would not give a fig for the young man who does not already see himself the partner or the head of an important firm. Do not rest content for a moment in your thoughts as head clerk,or foreman,or general manager in any concern,no matter how extensive. Say to yourself,“My place is at the top.” Be king in your dreams.

　　And here is the prime condition of success,the great secret: concentrate your energy,thought,and capital exclusively upon the business in which you are engaged. Having begun in one line,resolve to fight it out on that line,to lead in it,adopt every improvement,have the best machinery,and know the most about it.

　　The concerns which fail are those which have scattered their capital,which means that they have scattered their brains also. They have investments in this,or that,or the other,here there,and everywhere. “Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.” is all wrong. I tell you to “put all your eggs in one basket,and then watch that basket.” Look round you and take notice,men who do that not often fail. It is easy to watch and carry the one basket. It is trying to carry too many baskets that breaks most eggs in this country. He who carries three baskets must put one on his head,which is apt to tumble and trip him up. One fault of the American businessman is lack of concentration.

　　To summarize what I have said: aim for the highest; never enter a bar room; do not touch liquor,or if at all only at meals; never speculate; never indorse beyond your surplus cash fund; make the firm’s interest yours; break orders always to save owners; concentrate; put all your eggs in one basket,and watch that basket; expenditure always within revenue; lastly,be not impatient,for as Emerson says,“no one can cheat you out of ultimate success but yourselves.”

　　Some of the greatest success stories of history have followed a word of encouragement or an act of confidence by a loved one or a trusting friend. Had it not been for a confident wife,Sophia,we might not have listed among the great names of literature the name of Nathaniel Hawthorne. When Nathaniel,a heartbroken man,went home to tell his wife that he was a failure and had been fired from his job in a customhouse,she surprised him with an exclamation of joy.

　　"Now," she said triumphantly,"you can write your book!"

　　"Yes," replied the man,with sagging confidence,"and what shall we live on while I am writing it?"

　　To his amazement,she opened a drawer and pulled out a substantial amount of money.

　　"Where on earth did you get that?" he exclaimed.

　　"I have always know you were a man of genius," she told him. "I knew that someday you would write a masterpiece. So every week,out of the money you gave me for housekeeping,I saved a little bit. So here is enough to last us for one whole year."

　　From her trust and confidence came one of the greatest novels of American literature,The Scarlet Letter.

　　Some people say that English teaching at college in China has proved to be successful Take College English Test as an example,more than four million students have taken it and the number is still increasing year by year. This means that increasing numbers of people are aware of the necessity and importance of English learning. What is more,large numbers of students who are competent in English are making their contributions to the county in all walks of life. Others,on the other hand,suggest that English teaching at college in China is a complete failure. They suggest that,on the whole,most graduates still can't communicate with native speakers properly in spoken English. Besides,they are incompetent in both translation and writing.

　　I think great progress has been made in English teaching at college in China over the past 15 years. Yet,there are still some problems. On the one hand,English teaching at college in China is still teacher centered,although the student centered approach has been advocated for years. The teacher dominates the class,leaving students little time to practice. On the other hand,English teaching at college in China is still test oriented. Passing College English Test has been regarded as a prerequisite for graduates to get jobs on the job market. So great emphasis is given on how to pass the tests rather than on how to develop the students' language skills. As a result,students do not have the language competence though most of them have passed College English Test.

　　Therefore,it is my strong feeling therefore that English teaching at colleges in China should go through some radical reform. Priority should be given to the development of the four language skills rather than to develop the skills in passing the examination.

　　When love beckons to you,follow him,though his ways are hard and steep. And when his wings enfold you,yield to him,though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you. And when he speaks to you,believe in him,though his voice may shatter your dreams as the north wind lays waste the garden.

　　For even as love crowns you so shall he crucify you. Even as he is for your growth so is he for your pruning. Even as he ascends to your height and caresses your tenderest branches that quiver in the sun,so shall he descend to our roots and shake them in their clinging to the earth.

　　But if,in your fear,you would seek only love’s peace and love’s pleasure,then it is better for you that you cover your nakedness and pass out of love’s threshing-floor,into the seasonless world where you shall laugh,but not all of your laughter,and weep,but not all of your tears. Love gives naught but it self and takes naught but from itself. Love possesses not,nor would it be possessed,for love is sufficient unto love.

　　Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself. But if you love and must have desires,let these be your desires:

　　To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night.

　　To know the pain of too much tenderness.

　　To be wounded by your own understanding of love;

　　And to bleed willingly and joyfully.

　　To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving;

　　To rest at the noon hour and meditate love’s ecstasy;

　　To return home at eventide with gratitude;

　　And then to sleep with a payer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips.

　　谈到学习，不得不提及令很多同学头疼的英语。虽然很多同学从小学就开始接触英语，可总觉得单词永远只记住了单词表中的前五个，如，abandon，顿时有种被英语抛弃了的感觉；语法永远也分不清定从，名从跟状从，啥是非谓语，啥是时态？哈，哥们，别问我语法，太伤感情；阅读总是爱骗人，明明觉得看懂了，一做题目，全错！有时没看懂，却迷迷糊糊的蒙对了一个，这是要闹哪样呐！听力？呵，每次也就只能听懂“”；而只有到写作文的时候，我才深刻的认识到自己是一个多么内敛含蓄的孩子，使劲挤了半天，也才挤出豆腐干那样的篇幅。完型，好吧，说多了都是泪啊，再说下去，还能不能愉快的交流了？！

　　为什么英语如此难学？在我看来，这真的是一个误会。英语首先是一门语言，掌握英语，无非就是字词句。字词，很简单，背单词咯。一天十个单词，并不是个很艰难的任务，一年356天，就算从初中开始学英语，咱们到高考也学了六年，那也就是21900个单词，高考要求的词汇量是，对比一下便清楚的知道，用六年来备战高考英语，怎么可能考不好！句，是指语法。随便翻开一本语法书，需要重点掌握的语法点也就那么几个：动词的时态语态，情态动词和虚拟语气，非谓语，三大从句，主谓一致，倒装语序和情景交际用语。六个大点，就算每年学一个，也完全能掌握的透透的了啊！

　　既然英语不难学，为什么很多学生还是很头疼英语？那应该如何学好英语呢？

　　首先，我们要有自信，不要害怕英语。世间事总是怕什么就来什么，遇见一个头疼的问题，聪明人会选择主动积极的面对，想办法解决，因为逃避永远解决不了问题。学的时候的痛苦是一时的，而学不到的痛苦却是一辈子的。万事开头难，熬过了最艰难的时候，你便会发现，哇哦，英语也就那么回事儿嘛！

　　其次，学英语，最痛苦的莫过于背单词吧。总是背了忘，永远也记不住的感觉。我个人非常不赞同拿着单词表背单词，这种方法太抽象生硬。词汇本就是要运用的，所以在阅读中积累单词是最形象也是最深刻的。坚持每天五篇阅读，五篇阅读做完你会发现有几个常常出现的单词却不认识，这时就需要查字典，了解它们。以后当你看见这几个单词的时候，你会想起你曾在某个阅读中见过，想起那句话，很自然就会想起这些单词的意思和用法了。阅读常常是有故事情节的，咱们把一个个抽象的单词放在有情节的阅读中去记忆，一方面有助于记住单词的词义和用法，另一方面也培养了英语的语感和做阅读的能力，一举多得。

　　再次，如果遇到一个好的语法老师，你会发现语法真的很简单！即便没有遇见一个能把语法给你说透了的老师，那你就是你自己做好的老师。一个很好的办法就是，各个击破。拿回三本不同的语法书，定下任务，比如，这个礼拜，攻破非谓语。然后就把这几本不同的语法书中的非谓语都看几遍，去琢磨，想着自己是老师，如何才能提纲挈领的`归纳出什么是非谓语，怎样才能用最简单的方法跟别人讲解非谓语，最后你会发现，在这过程中，非谓语已经被你吃的透透的了！不信？那你试试看。

　　最后，对于听力，自然是要多听。学英语的都会一句话，Practicemakesperfect.学一门语言要有一个良好的语言环境，进行大量的正确标准的输入，才能够有正确的输出，只有多听，不断的听，就像听歌一样，有事儿没事儿都听着，营造一个语言环境，打好基础后再有针对性的做一些练习，听力不成问题。完型重点考查的就是词汇搭配跟语法，按上述方法积累了大量的词汇又学好了语法后，完型便不攻自破了。拿下作文也是同样的道理。

　　总的来说，英语就是一个听说读写的能力，而阅读是基础，是重中之重。在大量的阅读中积累词汇，培养语感，习惯英语的句式和表达方法，实乃一举多得。凡事涉及到“积累”一词，那便是一个长期坚持的结果，所以，再好的方法还得转化为行动，踏踏实实的练习，长年累月的坚持，相信practicemakesperfect，我的英语我做主！

　　My grandparents believed you were either honest or you weren't. There was no in between. They had a simple motto hanging on their living-room wall: Life is like a field of newly fallen snow; where I choose to walk every step will show. They didn't have to talk about it--they demonstratedthe motto by the way they lived. They understood instinctively that integrity means having a personal standard of morality and ethics that does not sell out to expediency and that is not relative to the situation at hand. Integrity is an inner standard for judging your behavior.Unfortunately,integrity is in short supply today--and getting scarcer. But it is the real bottom line in every area of society.And it is something we must demand of ourselves.

　　A good test for this value is to look at what I call the Integrity Trial,which consists of three key principles: Stand firmly for your convictions in the face of personal pressure.

　　When you know you're right,you can't back down. Always give others credit that is rightfully theirs. Don't be afraid of those who might have a better idea or who might even be smarter than you are. Be honest and open about who you really are. People who lack genuine core values rely on external factors--their looks or status---in order to feel good about themselves. Inevitably they will do everything they can to preserve this facade,but they will do very little to develop their inner value and personal growth.

　　So be yourself. Don't engage in a personal cover-up of areas that are unpleasing in your life. When it's tough,do it tough. In other words,face reality and be adult in your responses to life's challenges.

　　Self-respect and a clear conscience are powerful components of integrity and are the basis for enriching your relationships with others.

　　Integrity means you do what you do because it's right and not just fashionable or politically correct. A life of principle,of not succumbing to the seductive sirens of an easy morality,will always win the day. My grandparents taught me that.
