一四年后的约定 The Deal in Four YearsLast night, my friends and I went back to the primary school. We walked around the school and talked about the funny things that happened at that time. We were going to college soon, so we would be apart soon, b ut we were happy about our future school life. Suddenly, an idea came a cross my mind, I said to my friends that we could make a deal about fou r years later, we would graduate at that time. My friends were so excited about it, they agreed with me. So we made the deal that four years late r, we got together here. I started to think about what I would become fo ur years later, maybe a teacher, or a businessman. The deal helps us to have a chance to keep in touch with each other. I am so looking forward to carrying out it.昨晚，我的朋友们和我一起回到了初中的校园。我们走了一圈校园，说起了在那 个时候的趣事。我们很快就要上大学了，因此我们即将分离，但是我们对将来的 校园生活感到高兴。突然，我的脑海中出现了一个主意，我对朋友说我们可以定 一个四年后的约定，那时候我们也毕业了。朋友们很兴奋，同意我的想法。因此 我们约定四年后，在这里相聚。我开始想象四年后的自己会变成什么样子，或许 老师，或许商人。这个约定让我们有机会和彼此保持联系。我期待着实现这个约 定。 二早餐 BreakfastToday, the young generation likes to stay up, because after a day’ s working, they will find fun at night, so they are getting home very late and then wake up late, too. As they are wake up so late, they will ignore their breakfast and wait for the lunch, today people will call the meal br unch, it means to eat things between breakfast and lunch time. The fact is that not eating breakfast is bad for our health, our body hasn’ t take in things all the night, we need to take in some nutrition in the m orning time, so the body can have the energy to work. Thinking about t his, how a machine can work well without electricity, and the breakfast i s the electricity. As breakfast is so important, we must have it on time, s o our body can work well and keep healthy.今天，年轻一代喜欢熬夜，经过一天的工作以后，他们会在晚上出去寻找乐子， 因此他们很晚才回家，然后也很晚才起来。由于他们很晚才起来，他们会忽略早 餐，等待午餐，如今人们会把这种餐称为早午餐，意思是在处于早餐和午餐的时 间之间吃东西。事实上，不吃早餐对我们的健康不好，我们的身体整夜都没有摄 入食物， 需要在早餐的时间摄入食物， 这样我们的身体才有能量工作。
想象一下， 一台没有电的机器如何工作，而早餐就相当于电。由于早操是如此的重要，我们 必须要按时进食，这样我们的身体才能好好工作，并保持健康。 三回家真好 It Is Good to Go HomeLast week, my friend asked me to visit his hometown with her, she told me that her hometown was very beautiful, so I asked for my parents’ p ermission, they agreed. We decided to stay for a week, leaving home for the first time made me so happy, I was like a bird, flying in the sky, brea thing the free air. But when the forth day came, I started to miss my par ents, especially when night came, the darkness made me feel lonely, I ju st wanted to be with my parents. Until then did I realized that home is s weet, my parents were the most adorable persons. It is good to get ho me for me.上周，我的朋友叫我和她一起去拜访她的家乡，她告诉我她的家乡很美丽，因此 我征求了父母的意见，他们同意了。我们决定停留一周，第一次离开家让我很开 心，我就像一只鸟儿，在天空中飞翔，呼吸着自由的空气。但是第四天的时候， 我开始想念父母，特别是在夜晚来临的时候，黑暗让我觉得孤单，我只是想要和 父母呆在一起。直到那时我才意识到家是甜蜜的，我的父母是最可爱的人。回家 对于我来说真好。 四我的家 My HomePeople always say home sweet home, there is no doubt that home is ver y important for everyone. Before I went to high school, I lived with my p arents all the time, so I don’ t have much idea about home. In my opinion, home was the place for m e to live in. But when I went to the boarding school, I had to leave my h ome and live in the school. This was the first time for me to be far away from home. I missed home all the time, the longer time for I left, the mo re I missed my families. When I had the holiday, I rushed to home, I coul dn’ t wait to see my families. Now, I get the meaning of home, it is not just a place for me to live in, it is also my safe place. No matter where I go, o r what kind of difficulty I meet, my family supports me all the time.人们总是说回到甜蜜的家，毫无疑问，对每个人来说，家是很重要的。在我上高 中以前，我一直和父母住在一起，因此我对家的认识并不多。在我看来，家是我 住的地方。但是当我去到寄宿学校，我不得不离开家，住在学校。这是我第一次 远离家。我总是想念家，我离开的时间越长，就越想念家人。当我有假期了，我 就跑回家，等不及要去见家人。如今，我懂得了家的意义，这不仅仅是我住的地 方，也是我的安全地带。无论我去哪里，或者遇到什么困难，我的家人都会支持 我。 五一位班主任的话 An Head Teacher’s WordsEvery year, when June 8th comes, it is such a big day for Chinese high sc hool students, because they need to take part in the very important exa m, which will decide their future colleges. At the same time, it is also me ans saying goodbye to the high school life for the students. In every clas s, students have great impression about their head teacher, even they g raduate, they still can remember the head teacher. It is not easy to be a head teacher, he has to follow the students’ work all the time and mos t students hate him. So when the high school students graduate, a head teacher said thank you to his students for tolerating him for three years . These words are so touching, the students know his good purpose. Wit hout the head teacher’s supervision, they would not go that far.每年，当 6 月 8 号到来的时候，对于中国的高中生来说是个大日子，因为他们 需要参加一场很重要的考试，这将会决定他们未来的大学。同时，也意味着和高 中生活说再见。在每个班级，学生对他们的班主任都会留下很深刻的印象，即使 他们毕业，仍然能记得班主任。做班主任是不容易的，他不得不随时跟着学生的 工作，而且，大部分学生不喜欢班主任。所以当学生高中毕业了，一位班主任说 感谢他的学生忍受了他三年。这些话是多么感人啊，学生也知道班主任的好意。
没有班主任的监督，他们就无法走得那么远。 六美好青春 Being Young Is GoodLast night, I went to my friend’s birthday party, I made some friends. We talked happily, one of my new friends showed us the pictures of the places he had been visited. We were so envious, all of us had the dream to go travel to many places, but none of us took the action. He told us that we were so young and had the energy to see the world. He told us to carry out the plan once we had the idea. What he told us is right, we are young and it is good to be young. In the old people’ s eyes, we are so free and can go where we want. But most of the young people haven ’t realized the right they have, they waste their youth and dare not to do what they want.昨晚，我去了朋友的生日派对，结交了一些朋友。我们聊得很愉快，其中一个新 朋友向我们展示了他去过的地方的照片。我们很羡慕，我们都有梦想要去旅游很 多地方，但是没有人采取行动。他告诉我们说我们是如此的年轻，有精力去看看 这个世界。他告诉我们去实施计划一旦我们有想法。他对我们说的是对的，我们 年轻，年轻就是好。在老人家的眼里，我们很自由，可以到处去。但是大部分年 轻人都没有意识到他们拥有的权利，他们浪费了自己的青春，不敢做自己想做的 事情。 七责任大于山 Responsibility Comes FirstEarly in the morning, I opened my computer and read the news. There was the news about a driver had the heart disease attack when he was driving the bus, there were more than 40 people in the bus. The driver stopped the bus off the road and then stopped his breath. I was so touched by the driver, in the emergency situation, he considered the passengers’ lives in the first place. It is his sense of responsibility that makes him to do it. The driver sets the good example to the public, he shows the importance of responsibility. No matter what we do, we should not forget about taking our responsibility. If people don ’t take their own responsibility, then things will be out of order, the world will be in the mess. Responsibility always comes first.一大早，我就打开电脑看新闻。有一则消息是关于一个司机在开车时心脏病发 作，车上有超过 40 个人。司机把车开在了路边，然后停止了呼吸。我被这位司 机感动，在紧急的情况下，他把乘客的生命放在第一位。正是他的责任感让他这 样做。司机给大众树立了好榜样，他展示了责任的重要性。无论我们做什么，都 不应该忘记履行我们的职责。如果人们不这样做，事情就会出乱，世界就会陷入 混乱。责任大于山。 八赛琳娜威廉姆斯 Serena WilliamsIf you are a fan of tennis match, then the name Serena Williams will not be forgotten. Serena William is the best female tennis player now, though she is more than 30, she is still competitive. Everybody knows Mariah Sharapova who has the beautiful face and the perfect body shape, while Serena is unlike her, she is not pretty and has muscle. Serena has a successful tennis career, she started her tennis career at the early age with her sister. Both of them won many championships, but as the time went by, they suffered from illness, which made them stopped to play tennis once. But Serena went back to play and became the top player again.

赛琳娜鼓励了无数想要放弃的人，她证明了如果我们有强烈的信念，就能实现目 标。 九珍惜目前所有 Cherish What We HaveToday, as I had nothing to do, so I opened my computer and found a movie to watch. I thought about the movie that my friend asked me to watch, it was called 13 Is Going on 30. The story told about a 13 years old girl wanted to be a woman, so that she could have the beautiful face and perfect body shape. She wanted to date any handsome guy she liked. Then the magical thing happened, she became 30 and she got everything. But she felt lost, because her life was totally messed. I had the same feeling with the girl when I was at her age, I wanted to grow up quickly. But now, when I look at that age, I think it is better to cherish what I had at that time. Every stage of life has its happiness, so there is no need to skip the stage.今天，由于我没有事情做，因此我打开电脑，寻找电影 来看。我想到了我朋友叫我看的电影，叫《女孩梦三十》。这个故事讲述了一个 13 岁的女孩想要成为一名女人，这样她就能拥有美丽的脸庞和完美的身材。她 想要和任何喜欢的英俊男孩约会。然后神奇的事情发生了，她变成了 30 岁的女 人，并且拥有一切。但是她感到失落，因为她的生活很混乱。当我处在那个女孩 年龄的时候，我和她有同样的感觉，我想要快点长大。但是如今，当我回望那个 年纪，我觉得还是珍惜当时所拥有的比较好。每个年龄段都有它的快乐，因此没 有必要去跨过那个阶段。 十午后时光 Afternoon TimeToday was Saturday, early in the morning, I woke up and stayed at home the whole morning to watch TV. After finishing my lunch, I had nothing to do, so I decided to call my friends out. I headed to the coffee shop which was near a square. There were a lot of people in the square, some women were dancing and singing, while some men were taking the chess. I walked into the coffee shop, chose a table which was near the window, so that I could see the outside scenery. When my friends came, we talked happily, we shared the things that happened during these days. Then all my pressure was relieved, I forgot about the annoyance on my study. At that moment, I was enjoying the time talking with my friends. I had the great time this afternoon.今天是星期六，一大早，我就起床了，整个上午，我都呆在家里看电视。在吃完 午饭后，我没有什么事情去做，因此我决定叫我的朋友们出去。我前往一家广场 附近的咖啡店。广场里有很多人，一些女人在唱歌和跳舞，然而一些男人在下象 棋。我走进了咖啡店，选择了一张近窗口的桌子，这样我就能看到外面的风景。
当我的朋友们来了以后，我们聊得很愉快，分享了在这段时间发生的事情。然后 我所有的压力都得到了释放，我忘记了学习上的烦恼。在那个时刻，我享受着和 朋友们聊天的时光。今天下午我度过了愉快的时光。
英语小短文。_励志英语小短文
1. Buy someone's coffee. It's just coffee -- no one needs coffee, so this doesn't really matter, right? But what if you knew that a $2 cup of caffeine could change someone's day, week or their wholeperspective? Boom: That cup of coffee just changed the world. Welcome to the Random Acts of Kindness movement, where nice things happen just because nice people do them. You don't have to, you don't necessarily need to, but you can -- and it restores people's faith in humanity. The best part? They pass it on. 2. Smile. ... with eye contact. In a world where smart phones rule and it's not just possible, but normal, to have entire conversations without ever looking someone in the eye, it can be heart-stopping, wonderful and double-take-worthy to lock eyes with someone grinning. Happiness is contagious, and it only takes a couple facial muscles to spread it. 3. Give what you can. You clean out your closets, right? Perfect. You don't need a half a million dollar check written out to your charity of choice to help someone (kudos to you if you do, though!). Maybe you have a few shirts you don't wear anymore or a few children's books you can bear to part with. The thing about giving a little is that when everyone gives a little, suddenly it turns into a lot. Be a part of that lot. 4. Get in touch. Then listen. Maybe a grandparent is chomping at the bit to hear about your adventures, or maybe an old friend had a really bad day, maybe your mom wishes you'd ring her up more often. Get on the line. You remember that your iPhone can make calls, right? Get in touch with those people that are dying to hear from you (because someone definitely is). Then, ask: How are you doing? What's new? These questions have such few syllables, but their depth is endless. 5. Sort your problems. Let's face it: There's a lot of bad stuff in the world. It can be a scary place, and we've all got problems we would be a whole lot happier without. But experiment with putting your problems into perspective -- or boxes: That breakup? Missing a really important deadline at work? Hurt feelings? Losing someone close to you? Probably worth some self-pity. That stain on your shirt? Not so much. Let go of what you can. The less negative, the more room there is to be happy. 6. Give when you get. This is the best kind of multitasking! Whenever you get a little, give a little. There's a couple ways to pull this off: You can implement it yourself (donating an older shirt when you splurge for a new shirt, etc), or support companies that are passionate, good-hearted (really fun) do-gooders.Doesn't get much better than that, does it? 7. Stop comparing yourself to people you see on the Internet. We all creep people's Instagram and Twitter feeds... and there's nothing wrong with wanting to be the best version of you. But you're you for a reason, and there's no one better at being you than you are! A little self-acceptance goes a long way. Your confidence will melt into other people and make them feel comfortable in their own skin too. 8. Use please and thank you. Not to sound like your grandmother (go ahead and put your elbows on the table!), but the smallest ways to show your gratitude are these little words. They take zero effort to say, but the impact is huge. Aren't you thankful someone held the door for you when your hands were full? Tell them! 9. Support someone else. You know that friend who is trying to promote their new album, or start that business? You don't always have to chip in financially to be a backer -- you just have to believe in something! Lend your support when and where you can. Whether it's as simple as a retweet on Twitter or tossing a few extra bucks toward a worthy cause, show someone you believe in what they're doing. Not only will they be super-motivated, but they'll pass it on. 10. Chase what gets you up in the morning. What's the thing that lingers on your heart -- that you just can't stop daydreaming about? Do the thing you would do if you could do anything. It's called your passion. And it's what you should be doing. Sometimes, we treat chasing dreams like a fantasy -- it's easy to do, when things like money and rent and groceries and day jobs come into play. But you don't have to jump off the cliff solo: Start building your wings. Inch toward your dream. One foot in front of the other. Take the step. After all, it's your calling. perspective [p?r?sp?kt?v] n. 透视图；观点；洞察力；远景 adj. 透视的 humanity [hju'm?niti] n. 人类； 【总称】人 contact [?kɑn?t?kt; k?n?t?kt ] n. 交往，联系；接触，触碰；社会关系；接点，触点 v. 跟?联络上， 同?联系 adj. 跟?联络上，同?联系 为他人买杯咖啡 只是杯咖啡而已——没人必须要喝咖啡，所以也无所谓，对吧？但是如果你知道2美元一杯的咖啡可以改变一个人的一天、一周甚至整个人生，那 你会怎么做？哇，一杯咖啡改变了整个世界。欢迎参与“好事随意做”活动，就是因为好人做好事，好事才会来。你不一定要做，你不必一定做， 但你能做得到——这样会让人们重新相信人性。你猜最好的部分是什么？人们会把它传递下去。
微笑 微笑着用眼神交流。在一个智能手机统治的世界，在整个交流的过程中，连看也不看对方一眼，这样的行为不仅是可能的，也是正常的。要是看 着对方咧嘴笑，就会有屏息凝气、非常奇妙的感觉。快乐是可以传染的，只需通过几个面部肌肉的运动就可以把它传播。
尽你所能地付出 你整理自己的衣橱，对吧？很好。你不用非得写一张50万的支票捐给慈善机构来帮助他人（但是如果你这样做，那当然相当好！ ） 。也许你有几 件不再穿的衬衫，或有几本可以舍弃的童书。虽然只付出一点点，但当每个人都付出一点点时，就会积少成多。来成为多的一部分吧。
保持联系，然后倾听 也许你的爷爷奶奶正迫不及待地想听你的历险，也许一个老友过了糟糕的一天，也许你的妈妈希望你多给她打个电话。联系他们吧。你还记得你 的 iPhone 能打电话，对吗？和那些很想和你联系的人打个电话吧。然后问问：你怎么样了？最近发生了什么事儿？虽然这些问题只有几个音节， 但是这些问题的深度是无止境的。
把问题排序 让我们面对现实吧：世界上有很多不好的事情。它会让人感到恐慌。我们都有问题，要是没有的话，会幸福地多。但是试一试用长远的眼光来看 这些问题：分手？工作时错过了重要的截止时间？受伤的感觉？失去了亲近的人？或许值得自怜自哀。衬衫上的污渍？那就不值得了。能放手就 放手。负面因素越少，开心的空间就越大。
当你得到时就给予 这是多任务的最好形式！无论何时只要你得到了一点点，那就给予一点点。可以有很多种方法：你可以自己去做（比如当你买了一件新衬衫时可 以捐出一件旧衬衫）或支持有激情的公司、热心肠的好人。还有什么比这更好的呢？ 不要再和互联网上的人进行比较 我们都喜欢看别人在 Instagram 和推特上的内容?,想成为最好的自己也没什么错。但是你就是你，没人比做你做得更出色的了！一点点儿自我接 受，就能走很远。你的自信会逐渐融入他人，让他们也感到自信。
用“请”和“谢谢” 不是说听起来要像你的奶奶（快点，把胳膊肘放到桌子上！ ） ，但是表达你的感激之情的最简单的方式莫过于这些简单的词汇。说这些话又不费劲， 但是影响却是相当大的。当你两手满满，有人给你开门时，你不是很感激他们？告诉他们！ 支持他人 你知道你的那个朋友在宣传他们的新唱片，或开了一家新公司？你不用每次都出资——你只需去相信他们！无论何时何地，只要你能帮助他们， 就伸出你的手吧。无论是在推特上的一条转发，还是因为某个值得的原因投上一些钱，让他们看看你相信他们做的事情。他们不仅仅会受到鼓舞， 而且还会把这份正能量传递下去。
追逐你的梦想 什么东西徘徊在你的心间——以至于你总是在不断地去梦想它？如果你能为它做点儿事情，那就做吧。这就叫做激情。这也是你应该去做的事情。
有时，我们把梦想看成是幻想——当有钱、有租金、有食物、有工作时很容易去做。但是，你也不能不加准备就跳下悬崖：你该先长出自己的翅 膀。一点点地朝梦想靠近。一步一步地往前走。往前迈一步吧。毕竟，这是你的使命。
