my favorite color 我最喜欢的颜色

blue has always been my favorite color, and i think it will
always continue to be so.

i have several reasons for liking this color best. first, it is a
very soothing color and makes people happy. how do people
feel when they wake up to day when the sky is a dirty grey?
sad and gloomy. but when the sky is a deep blue, good cheer
and joy enters our hearts.

another reason why i am most partial to blue is that it is the
color of oceans and rivers and lakes on a sunny day. whenever
i go swimming, i feel as though i were reborn.

in my estimation, blue is a very refined a noble color. i have
several suits of clothes of different colors, but somehow blue
seems to be most becoming to me. at the same time, all my
friends say that i tend to look slim and taller whenever i’m
dressed in blue.

i have also heard that in english, the term “true blue” means
to be faithful. as i have a great respect for the quality of
faithfulness, this is one more reason for my liking blue so
much.

蓝色一直是我最喜欢的颜色，而且我认为一直都会是这样。

我有几个最喜欢这种颜色的理由。第一，它是一种使人平和、快乐
的颜色。当人们睡醒时，看 到一个灰暗的天空，他们会感觉如何？
沮丧忧郁。但是当天空是深蓝色时，喜悦和快乐就进入我们心中。

我偏爱蓝色的另一个理由，是因为它是海洋、河流、湖泊在晴朗日
子时的颜色。每 当我去游泳，我觉得我好像重生了。

我认为，蓝色是一种优雅、高贵的颜色，我有几套不同 颜色的衣服，
但是不知怎么，蓝色似乎是适合我。同时，我的朋友都说，每当我
穿蓝色的衣服时 ，似乎看起来更修长、更高佻。 我也听说过英文里
有个名词，“不褪色的蓝”，意思是忠实的，因为 我很崇尚忠实这种
品德，这又是我这么喜欢蓝色的另一个理由了。

gloomy a.忧郁的

partial a.偏爱的

refined a.优雅的

becoming a.合适的

the generation gap 论代沟

i remember that when i was in my teens, i used to rebel at
many of the “do’s” and “don’ts” my parents used to dictate to
me. for example, when i kept on playing jazz records on the
record player, my father used to condemn such music as sheer
noise and replace them with disks of classical music that i
always considered extremely dull.

my mom and dad were also very particular about the friends i
went out with, always quoting the maxim the “one rotten apple
could ruin a whole barrel of apples.” when i insisted that i
sleep with my pet dog peppy, they immediately said no
because they thought that i would be bitten by fleas.

these are just a few examples of many of the things that i
thought my parents were ueasonable about. today, however, i
am also the father of a boy of fifteen, and i find that i, too, am
pressuring my son with a lot of rules and regulations that he
seems to find hard to swallow. the other day, i noticed that my
son’s hair was altogether too long, so i told him to go to the
barber’s and get it trimmed short. ordinarily, he is fairly
obedient, but this time he put his foot down.

“what’s wrong with long hair?” he said. “all my buddies have
long hair. and besides, it’s my own hair, isn’t it? i don’t think
you have the authority to order me to cut it short, even if
you’re my father!”

when i was a boy, if i had spoken with such impertinence to
my father, i know that he would have given me a good
thrashing. but i suddenly realized that we are now living in a
more liberal world, and that my son’s insistence on wearing
his hair long was merely an instance of the generation gap that
existed between us. so i relented, and so he still wears his hair
long.

论代沟

记得我十几岁时 ，我总是反抗父母指定我做及不要我做的许多事。
例如，当我用唱机听爵士唱片时，父亲总指责这种音乐 只是噪音，
而换上我一直认为是最沉闷的古典音乐唱片。 我爸爸妈妈对和我一
起出去的朋友 也很挑剔，并常引用格言说：“一颗老鼠屎坏了一锅
粥。”当我坚持要和我的小狗佩比一起睡，他们马上 说“不行”，因为
他们认为我会被跳蚤给咬了。 这些只是我认为父母许多不合理的事

中的一个例子。然而，今天我也是个十五岁小孩的父亲。我发现自
己也用一大堆我儿子似乎觉得 难以忍受的规定来压迫他。前几天，
我注意到我儿子的头发实在太长了，所以便叫他到理发店去修短。< br>平常他是很听话的，但这次他坚持。 “长头发有什么不对？”他说，
“我所有的朋友都留长头 发，况且，这是我自己的头发，不是吗？我
认为你没权力命令我把它剪短，即使你是我父亲。”

小时候，如果我对父亲讲话这么无礼，我知道会招来一顿好打。但
是我突然了解到我们现在是 生活在一个更自由的世界。我儿子坚持
留长发，只是存在于我们之间的代沟的一例。因此我态度变温和了 ，
也因此他现在还留着长发。

put one’s foot down坚持反对

the person i admire most 我最敬佩的人 there are quite a few
people that i admire greatly, but the one that comes first on my
list is abraham lincoln, the great american emancipator.
although he was born poor, he worked hard and honestly, and
eventually became president of the

a part from the many fine qualities that lincoln had, i admire
him most because he dared to do what he thought was right at
a time when his beliefs were very unpopular with many people.
he also had infinite patience and tolerance for those who
disagreed with him, and bore their discourtesy toward him with
admirable restraint. he also had the manliness to forgive his
opponents. when the civil war ended, he treated his erstwhile
enemies with great generosity. the words which are carved on
the walls of the lincoln memorial in washington, d.c. were
taken from his famous second inaugural address and begin
with he phrases which i shall never forget: “with malice toward
none, with charity for all…”

我最敬佩的人

我敬佩的人有很多，但 是我表上列的第一个是亚伯拉罕.林肯，美国
伟大的解放者。虽然他生下来就很穷，他努力、诚实地工作 ，终于
成为美国总统。

除去林肯的许多优良品德不谈，他最令我钦佩的原因是，只 要他认
为是对的，即使他的信念还未普遍为人接受，他就敢去做。他对那
些不赞同他的人，有着 无比的耐心和宽容，克制自己忍受他们对他
的无礼，令人敬佩。他也有男性气概原谅他的反对者。内战结 束后，
他对待以前的敌人无比宽大。刻在华盛顿特区林肯纪念堂上的几句
话，是从他著名的第二 次就职演说是摘录出来的。开头的几句话，
我永远不会忘记：“不要对任何人怀有恶意，要博爱世人…… 。”

discourtesy n.无礼貌

restraint n.（感情之）抑制

manliness n.男子气概

environmental protection 环境保护

i was born in the countryside near kaohsiung and i came up to
taipei when i was still a lad of twelve. seven years have
elapsed since then, and just recently, i returned to my home
town for the very first time since i had left it. would you like to
know just how i felt when i set eyes again on the place that i
had always remembered as being a real shangrila? the image
that i had so carefully cherished was dashed to the winds.
instead, i was struck by the sharp realization that civilization
and modern industry were destroying our world. the beautiful
hills that were formerly covered with trees were now bald. all
the trees must have been chopped down for lumber that went
into the building of cheap apartment houses that were now
ubiquitous all over the town. the crystal- clear river where i had
enjoyed fishing and swimming when i was a lad was now a
filthy ditch into which chemical factories were dumpling all
their

i could go on describing the horrible changes that my
hometown had undergone, but time is limited. so i wish to say
in conclusion that the time has come for the introduction of
strict measures to protect our environment.

环境保护

我出生于高 雄附近的乡下，当我才十二岁时，就搬来台北。七年过
去了，就在最近，我回到睽违已久的家乡。你想知 道，当我看到这
个我总记得是真正香格里拉的地方时，内心的感受吗？我小心珍爱
的形象都在风 中破灭了。代之而起的是，我痛心地了解到文明和现
代工业正在毁灭我们的世界。

原本覆盖着树木的美丽山丘现在已经秃了。所有的树木一定被砍下
作为木材，来建筑镇上到处都是的便宜 公寓。那条我少年时候喜欢
钓鱼和游泳、水晶般清澈的河流，现在变成化学工厂倾倒垃圾的臭
水 沟。

我可以继续不断地描述我故乡遭受的可怕改变，但时间有限。所以
最后我想说 的就是，用严厉措施来保护环境的时候已经到了。

elapse v. （时间）溜走；（光阴）逝去

shangrila n. 香格里拉（人间的理想乐园）

cherish v. 珍视，珍爱

civilization n. 文明

ubiquitous a. 无所不在的

filthy a. 污秽的

measure n, 措施

small kindness 平凡的善行

small kindnesses are those simple deeds of goodness that we
perform in our daily life, not merely to our friends and kin, but
also to complete strangers, not for the sake of receiving some
remuneration in return, but sheerly out of a spirit of generosity
and unselfish consideration for the welfare of others.

when we read the daily newspapers, we are frequently
apprised of the big kindnesses performed by well-to-do
philanthropists who donate large sums of money for the
establishment of schools, libraries, free hospitals for the poor,
orphanages, and the like. these, of course, are laudable acts of
charity that deserve wide public acclaim. but in my estimation,
those many minor acts of kindness performed daily ion
assorted situations by public-minded citizens who receive no
recognition or plaudits from the mass media are equally
commendable.

i think that in the eyes of the almighty, the good- hearted white-
collar worker who gives up his seat on a crowded commuter
train to someone frail, aged or crippled, even though he
himself is extremely tried after his day’s work, is just as
deserving of praise, or maybe even more so, than the
billionaire philanthropist who has given away a million dollars
for the establishment of a

new old people’s home.

in the large cities of any country, where the general tendency
of the people is “to look out only for one’s own interests”, the
atmosphere is cold and miserable for those unable to keep up
with the rapid pace of competition. let us all try remedy the
situation by launching a personal campaign to perform a small
kindness each day, no matter how inconsequential it may
seem, so that our society will be a much better place to live in.

平凡的善行

平凡的善行就是一些我们在日常生 活当中所做的、简单的好事。不
只对我们的亲友，结全然陌生的人也一样；不是为了报酬，完全是
出自一种为他人福祉的慷慨、无私的精神。

我们每天看报，常得知富有的慈善家所作“伟 大的善行”。他们捐很
多的钱盖学校、图书馆、免费为穷人看病的医院、孤儿院等等。当
然这 值得民众赞美的慈善行为。但我认为，那些没受到大众传播媒
介褒奖或赞扬、具有服务大众热忱的市民所 作较小的善行，一样值
得赞赏。 我认为在上帝眼中，一个好心的白领阶级，即使在工作一
天 后极度疲惫，在挤满通勤者的火车上让位给老弱或残障者，也一
样值得赞美，甚至比那些捐一百万元建造 一座新的老人院的亿万慈
善家更值得表扬。

在任何国家的大城市，居民的共同倾 向就是“自扫门前雪”。对于那
些无法赶上这种快速竞争步调的人，气氛是冷默无情的。让我们发
起个人运动，试着来修正这促情形。无论事情多么微不足道，每天
是行一善，那么我们的社会将会更适 于居住。

remuneration n. 报酬

apprais v.报告，通知

philanthropist n. 慈善家

orphanage n. 孤儿院

laudable a. 值得赞美的

acclaim n. 称赞，喝采

plaudit n. 赞扬

commendable a. 值得称赞的

commuter n. 通勤者

crippled a. 残废的

atmosphere n. 气氛

inconsequential a. 不重要的

everybody should read it. it supplies us with a variety of news
every day. it tells us the political situation of the world. if we
form the habit of reading the newspaper, we shall (will) get
enough knowledge to cope with our circumstances. 现今报纸拥
有极大的价值，人人都应该看它。它每天提供我们 各种类类的消息。
它告诉我们世界政治局势。如果我们养成看报的习惯，我们就能得
到足够的知 识来因应我们的环境。 学生虽然每天须做功课，但他们

也能赶上时代。总而言之，看报对学生很有益处。

第二天：my daily life 我的日常生活

though my daily life is extremely monotonous, i try hard to
adapt myself to it. why? because i intend to be a good student.
i wish to render service to my country.

i get up at six o’clock every day. after i wash my face and
brush my teeth, i begin to review my lessons. i go to school at
seven o’clock.

after school is over, i return home. we usually have supper at
seven o’clock.

then i begin to do my homework. i want to finish it before i go
to bed.

虽然我的日常生活十分单调，但我却竭力设法去适应它。为什么？
因为我打算做一个好学生， 希望将来为国家服务。

我每天六点起床、洗脸刷牙后，就开始复习功课，七点钟我就去上
学。

放学后，我 就回家了。我们通常在七点钟吃晚餐，之后我就开始做
家庭作业，希望在睡觉前把它做完。

第三天：a model student 模范学生

do you mind being called a bad student? of course not. so far
as i know, everybody intends to be (become) a model student.

however, to be a model student is by no means an easy thing.
first, he must do his best to obtain knowledge. a man without
sufficient knowledge will not succeed. secondly, he must
remember to improve his health. only a strong man can do
great tasks. thirdly, he should receive moral education. if his
conduct is not good, no one will consider making friends with
him.

你价意被称为坏学生吗？当然不。就我所知，每个人都打算做模范
学生。

然而，做模范学生却不容易。第一，他必须尽力获得知识（求知）。
一个没有足够知识的人是不会成功的 。第二，他必须记住促进健康。
只有强壮的人才能做大事。第三，他应该接受道德教育。如果他品
行不好，没有人会考虑和他交朋友的。

第四天：how to get happiness 如何获得快乐

there is no doubt that happiness is the most precious thing in
the world. without it, life will be empty and meaningless. if you
wish to know how to get happiness, you must pay attention to
the following two points.

first, health is the secret of happiness (the key to happiness).
only a strong man can enjoy the pleasure of life.

secondly, happiness consists in contentment. a man who is
dissatisfied with his present condition is always in distress.

无疑的快乐是世界上最宝贵的东西。没有它，人生将是空虚的而且
毫无意义的。如果你希望知 道如何获得快乐，你须注意下面两点。

健康是快乐的要诀。唯有身体强壮的人才能享受人生的乐趣。

快乐在于知足。一个不满于现状的人终是处在痛苦之中。

第五天：books 书籍

as is well known, books teach us to learn life, truth, science
and many other useful things. they increase our knowledge,
broaden our minds and strengthen our character. in other
words, they are our good teachers and wise friends. this is the
reason why our parents always encourage us to read more
books.

reading is a good thing, but we must pay great attention to the
choice of books. it is true that we can derive benefits from

good books. however, bad books will do us more harm than
good. 如众所周知，书籍教我们学习人生，真理，科学以 及其它许
多有用的东西。它们增加我们的知识，扩大我们的心胸并加强我们
的品格。换句话说， 它们是我们的良师益友。这是为什么我们的父
母终是鼓励我们要多读书的理由。

读 书是一好事，但我们必须多加注意书的选择。不错，我们能从好
书中获得益处。然而，坏书却对我们有害 无益。

第六天：a trip to the country 乡村游记

one sunday my mother (mother) had (made) me take my little
young brother to the a trip to the country. she bade me take
good care of him.

while we were walking along the road, the sun was shining
brightly and the breeze was blowing gently. we saw the
beautiful flowers smile (smiling) at us and heard the birds sing
(singing) their sweet songs on the trees. the scenery was
indeed very pretty (beautiful).

when we felt tired, we returned home. we saw mother (our
mother) wait (waiting) for us at the door.

有一个星期日，我母亲叫我带小弟弟去乡村游历。她吩咐我要好好
照料他。

当我们沿着道路行走的时候，太阳灿烂地照耀着，微风轻轻地吹着。
我们看见美丽的花儿对我 们微笑着，并听见鸟儿在树上唱着悦耳的
歌曲，风景实十分美丽。

当我们感觉到疲倦的时候，我们就回家了。我们看见母样正在门口
等候我们。

第七天：be patriotic 要爱国

it is the duty of every citizen to make the country rich and
powerful (to make the country rich and strong is...). in order to
accomplish this object one must be patriotic (love his country).
i consider this an unchangeable truth.

how can a student love his country (be patriotic)? i find my
answer very simple and clear. he must study hard and store up
knowledge so as to serve his (the) country in the future. if
every student can do according to what i said, the country will
certainly be rich and powerful.

要使国家富强是每个公民的责任。为了达到此目的，必须爱国。我
认为这是一条不易的定理。 一个学生 如何才能爱国呢？我发觉答复

很简单明了。他必须用功读书并积储知识以便将来服务国家 。如果
每个学生能按照我所说的去做，国家一定会富强。

第八天：the value of time 爱惜时光

an english proverb says that time is money. i consider it (this)
wrong. why? because we all know that we can earn money be
work but can not in any way get back time (in anyway). for this
reason, we may (can) say that time is more valuable than
money.

many people do not know the value of time. it (this) is indeed a
great pity. we must bear (keep) in mind that wasting time is
equal to wasting your life.

英 国有句谚语说，时间就是金钱。我认为这是不对的。为什么？因
为我们大家都知道我们能够用工作赚钱， 但无论如何却无法把时间
争取回来。基于此种理由，我们可以说时间比钱钱更宝贵。

许多人不知爱惜时光。这确实是可惜的。我们必须记住浪费时间等
于浪费生命。 第九天：why should we study english 为什么我们
要学英文

if you want to ask me why we should study english, my
answer will be simple and clear. now let me enumerate the
reasons one by one in the following.

in the first place, english has become an international
language. if you know english, you van make a trip round the
world without being misunderstood.

in the second place, most valuable books, newspapers and
magazines are written in english. if you wish (hope) to get
knowledge, you must learn english.

如果你要问我们为什么我们要学英文。我的答复很简单明了。现在
让我来把我的理由一一列举在下面：

英文已成为一种国际语言。如果你通晓它，你可以环游世界不会被
人误解。

大多数有价值的书籍，报纸和杂志都是用英文写的。如果你希望获
得知识，你必须学习英文。 第十天：my birthday 我的生日

yesterday was my birthday, so some of my classmates sent
me presents. mother prepared a tea party for me. i invited all of
them to come and take part in it.

the tea party began at half past six. there were cold drinks and
refreshments. we ate, talked and laughed. we felt that we were
the happiest men in the world.

time passed quickly. in a twinkling, the clock on the wall
struck nine. we could not but say ―good-bye‖ to one another.

昨天是我生日，所以有几位我的 同班同学送我礼。母亲给我准备一
个茶会。我邀请他们都前来参加。

茶会下午六点半开始。有冷饮和点心。我们又吃又谈又笑。我们觉
得是世界上最快乐的人。 时间过得很快。转瞬间，墙上的钟敲九点
了。我们不得不互道再见。

第十一天：how to spend sundays 如何消度星期日

some of us always spend sundays aimlessly. we can seldom
derive profits from the valuable hours (time) of sundays. this is
indeed a great pity. though sundays are set aside as a day for
rest, we must make good use of them.

we know that our school lessons are usually not sufficient. we
should often utilize sundays to read reference books. in this
way we will increase our knowledge. besides, we must be
engaged in sports or outing so as to strengthen our bodies.

我们许多人终是把星期日毫无目的地消度 掉。这确实是十分可惜。
我们很少能从星期日的宝贵时光中获得益处。虽然星期日是被指定
为一 个休息的日子，但是我们却应好好利用它。 我们知道我们学校
的功课通常是不够的。我们应时常利用 星期日来阅读参考书。如此
我们的知识就会增加了。此外，我们必须从事运动或郊游以便强壮
我 们的身体。

第十二天：honesty is the best policy 诚为上策

there is an english proverb which says (saying) ―honesty is
the best policy.‖ it signifies the importance of honesty.

what are the benefits of honesty? if you are honest to others,
they will be honest to you in return. when you are sad, they will
comfort you. when you are in trouble, they will help you.

there is no enumerating the evils of dishonesty here. in a word,
a dishonest man will be looked down upon by others and (be)
regarded as a public enemy.

英国有一句谚语说“诚为上策”。它说明了诚的重要性。

诚的益处是什么？如果你对他人诚 实，他们也会对你诚实作为报答。
当你忧悉的时候，他们会安慰你。当你是处在困难中的时候，他们会帮助你。

无法在这里数述不诚实的害处。一言以蔽之，一个不诚实的人会被
人 看轻的而且被看作为一个公敌。

第十三天：how exercise helps 运动的利益

if our bodies are not strong, our spirit to do things will
certainly be quite dull. and at the same time, we are lack of
energy (ies) to study. diseases will only attack the weak, but
not the strong. why are our bodies not strong? because we do
not pay attention to exercise. for this reason, we students must
often take different kinds (sorts) of exercise in the gym.

exercise helps us (to) strengthen our bodies and avoid
disease. it also teaches us cooperation, for most exercise is
played by team.

如果我们 的身体不强壮，我们做事的精神一定会十分迟钝。而且同
时，我们也缺少足够的精力来读书。疾病只为侵 击体弱的人而不是
强壮的人。

为什么我们的身体会不强壮呢？因为我们不注意运动 。基于此种理
由，我们学生必须时常在运动场做不同种类的运动。

运动帮助我们强壮身体并避免疾病。它也教我们合作，因为大多数
的运动都是团体游玩的。 第十四天：the benefits of traveling 旅行
的益处

i am always interested in traveling. my reasons are quite
(extremely) simple and clear. if anybody is not satisfied with
my viewpoint(s), i shall be greatly surprised at his ways of
thinking.

in the first place, traveling increases our knowledge. only by
traveling can we see （因为用（only）开头，主动词须颠倒）
things outside our home town.

in the second place, traveling is good to our health. while we
are traveling, we usually exercise our bodies.

in conclusion, i earnestly hope that everybody must seize
(grasp at) the opportunity of traveling. 我对旅行终是感觉有趣。
我的理由非常简单时了。如果任何人对我的观点不满意的话，我将
对他 的想法会大大吃惊。

旅行增加我们的知识。只有藉旅行我们可以看到我们故乡以外的东
西。

旅行对我们的健康有益。当我们旅行的时候，我们通常运动我们的
身体。

第十五天：how to be a good citizen 如何做一个好公民

my aim is to become a good citizen so as to be able to render
service to the (my) country. however, to become a good citizen
is not an easy thing. he has many duties to fulfill.

the first duty of a good citizen is to love his country. he is to
(must) be ready to sacrifice even his own life for the country.

his second duty is to obey the law and help the government
(to) maintain order. if everybody can do so, the country will be
rich and strong (powerful).

我的志向是做一个好 公民以便能给国家效力。然而，做一个好公民
不是一件容易的事情。他有许多责任要尽。

一个好公民第一件责任是爱他的国家。他须准备为国家牺牲自己的
生命。

他第二件责任是服从法律并且帮助政府维持治安。如果人人都能这
样做的话，国家必定富强。 第十六天：the national flag 国旗

it is the duty of every citizen to honor the national flag. why?
because the national flag is the symbol of a (the) country. to
respect it means to respect the country. in other words, if a
man loves his country, he must love the national flag.

in school, the national flag is usually raised at a certain time
every day. then the principal, teachers, staff and students are
to (must) stand before it and sing the national anthem. it is
indeed extremely meaningful to attend such a ceremony.

尊敬国旗是每个公民的责任（义务）。为 什么？因为国旗是国家的
象征。尊敬它意思就是尊敬国家。换句话说，如果一个人爱国，他
必须 爱国旗。

在学校里，通常每天定时要升旗。那时，校长，老师，教职员学生
教师将 恭敬地站在它前面并且唱国歌。参加此项仪式确实非常有意
义。

第十七天：the importance of education 教育的重要性

it is impossible for us to make our country rich and strong
without developing education. why? because education gives
people knowledge and teaches them how to become good
citizens so as to be able to serve their country. no wonder they
say that education decides the progress, prosperity and
civilization of a country.

at present (nowadays) most countries in (of) the world are
enforcing compulsory education. it is necessary for all kinds of

people, both rich and poor, to receive education. taiwan is an
exception as well not.

我们不可能使我们的国家富强而不发展教育。为什么？因为教育给
予人民 知识并教他们如何成为好公民以便能为国家效力。难怪，有
人说教育决定一个国家的进步，繁荣与文化。 现在世界大多数的国
家都在实施强迫教育。所有各类人民不论贫富都必须接受教育。台
湾也不例 外。

第十八天：industry (diligence) 勤勉

it is a matter of course that industry will bring us success,
wealth and good luck. i am sure that a hard-working person
can always succeed in the work which he wants to do. this is
unchangeable truth.

idleness is the opposite of industry. it is the source of all evil.
an idle man only enjoys playing and making pleasures. that he
is doomed to failure is of no doubt. we should not follow his
example. 勤勉会带给我们成功，财富和好运乃是当然之事。我确信
一个苦干的人终是 能够做成功他所要做的工作。这是不易之定理。

懒惰是勤勉的反面。它是万恶之源泉。一个 懒惰的人只享受玩耍和
寻乐。他命运注定失败是毫无疑问的。我们不应学他的榜样。

第十九天：my native town 我的故乡

my native town is x. we have settled down here since my
grandfather was a child. in other words, my family has lived
here for more than one hundred years.

it is a small village. there are about one thousand inhabitants.
most of them are farmers. the mode of their living is very
simple. however, they have already possessed television sets
and refrigerators. they made up their minds to live a modern
life.

我的故乡是x。我们自从祖父是小孩时，就定居在此地。换句话说，< br>我们家人在此地已经住了一百余年了。

这个小村庄。居民大约有一千人。他们大部分 是农夫。他们的生活
方式很简单。然而，他们已拥有电视和冰箱。他们下定决心要过一
个现代的 生活。

第二十天：my school life 我的学校生活

when i was six years old, i began to go to school. the first
school (which) i attended was a primary school. there were
many subjects (which were taught in the school, such as
chinese, arithmetic, history, geography, drawing and so forth.

since i was (became) a student, i studied very hard. my parents
were quite proud of me.

after i had studied there for three years, i entered a junior high
school. when i was twelve years old, i became a student of a
senior high school. i still studied very hard. except on sick
leave i was never absent from class. everybody looked upon
me as a model student.

一分钟英语演讲稿

一分钟英语演讲稿，

ladies and gentlemen , good afternoon! i?m very glad to stand
here and give you a short speech. today my topic is “youth”. i
hope you will like it , and found the importance in your youth
so that more cherish it.

first i want to ask you some questions:

1、 do you know what is youth?

2、 how do you master your youth?

youth

youth is not a time of life, it is a state of mind it is not rosy
cheeks , red lips and supple knees, it is a matter of the
emotions : it is the freshness ; it is the freshness of the deep
springs of life .

youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over
timidity of the appetite , for adventure over the love of ease.
this often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20 . nobody
grows old merely by a number of years . we grow old by
deserting our ideals.

years wrinkle the skin , but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the
soul . worry , fear , self –distrust bows the heart and turns the
spirit back to dust .

whether 60 of 16 , there is in every human being ?s heart the
lure of wonders, the unfailing childlike appetite of what?s next
and the joy of the game of living . in the center of your heart
and my heart there?s a wireless station : so long as it receives
messages of beauty , hope ,cheer, courage and power from
men and from the infinite, so long as you are young .

when the aerials are down , and your spirit is covered with
snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you are

grown old ,even at 20 , but as long as your aerials are up ,to
catch waves of optimism , there is hope you may die young at
80.

that?s all !

thank you!
