推荐文章：《一生最爱你》
文章出处：《时文选粹》
推荐理由：
这篇文章以姐姐为第一人称，按时间顺序将弟弟从八岁起为姐姐所做的一次又一次“牺牲”：替姐姐承担责任被父亲打骂，省吃俭用给姐姐买“城里姑娘都戴”的发卡，为姐姐着想甘心做个辛苦的修理工……作者用细腻的文笔表现了姐弟二人间浓浓的亲情。
文章主旨是“亲情”。“亲情”向来是一个宽泛的话题，作者举了大量事例使文章显得充实厚重。并选材精湛，结构新颖，中心明确，条理清楚。虽然篇幅较长，但丝毫没有啰嗦拖沓之感。全文没有大片华丽的辞藻，各种浮夸的修辞，所用词语朴实无华，简单准确，却字字句句富有极强的感染力，足以令人为之动容。这正是本文精彩所在。
段落点评：
（一）弟弟中学毕业那年，考上了县里的重点高中，同时我也接到了省城大学的录取通知书。那天晚上，父亲蹲在院子里一袋一袋地抽着旱烟，嘴里还叨咕着，两娃都这么争气，真争气。母亲偷偷抹着眼泪说争气有啥用啊，拿啥供啊！弟弟走到父亲面前说，爸，我不想上了，反正也念够了。父亲一巴掌打在弟弟的脸上，说，你咋就这么没出息？我就是砸锅卖铁也要把你们姐俩供出来。说完转身出去挨家借钱。我抚摸弟弟红肿的脸说，你得念下去，男娃不念书就一辈子走不出这穷山沟了。弟弟看着我，点点头。但是我已经决定放弃上学的机会了。没想到第二天天还没亮，弟弟就偷偷带着几件破衣服和几个干馍头走了，在我枕边留下一个纸条：姐，你别愁了，考上大学不容易，我出去打工供你读书。
点评：这段细节描写及其入微地描述了弟弟为姐姐放弃了上学的机会这一事件，同时将人物形象跃然于纸。父亲沉稳坚定，母亲无可奈何，姐姐一心为弟弟着想，弟弟毅然决定自我牺牲而换取姐姐的锦绣前程。读完不禁令人潸然泪下，感慨万千。
（二）我刚上学的时候，学校在邻村，每天我和我姐都得走上一个小时才到家。有一天，我的手套丢了一只，我姐就把她的给我一只，她自己就戴一只手套走了那么远的路。回家以后，我姐的那只手冻得都拿不起筷子了。从那时候，我就发誓我这一辈子一定要对我姐好
点评：就是这样一件连姐姐自己都已记不清楚的小事，使弟弟发誓感谢姐姐，回报姐姐，用一生爱姐姐。几行文字虽短小，但给予人内心的却是巨大的冲击与无限的震撼。
推荐文章：《当一粒种子有了愿望》
文章出处：《中华活页文选》
推荐理由：
这篇文章讲述了一颗有梦想的葵花籽“追梦”的过程。全文语言生动、优美，从这些字句中可以看出作者对大自然万物顽强毅力的赞叹。这颗种子让人敬仰，也让人深思：在生活的海洋里，我们每个人都是一粒种子，一粒希望的种子，无论你是生活在肥沃的土地上，还是贫瘠的泥土里，都不要放弃自己的希望，而要努力挣扎、拼搏进取，找到一条属于自己的路。
愿世界上每一粒种子都有自己的愿望！
段落欣赏：
一只小鸟在林间的小路上找到了一粒葵花籽，但是这时它已经吃饱了，于是它就想把葵花籽上叼回巢里慢慢享用。它飞过小河，飞过村庄，再飞过一幢瓦房就到家了。到家的喜悦让这只小鸟有些得意忘形，它站在瓦房顶上忍不住大叫一声。这下可好，葵花籽正好掉在了北窗旁的砖缝里。这只小鸟怎么也找不到那粒葵花籽，只好悻悻地飞走了。
掉进砖缝里的葵花籽想伸展一下自己的身体，可向东是壁，向南是壁，向北是壁，向西还是壁。唉！四处都是壁，这可如何是好？葵花籽叹了口气。好在它没有放弃自己的愿望，休息了一会儿，使出浑身解数向上顶去。从此这粒葵花籽就为自己选准了一个正确的方向——努力向上生长。
没有土，它努力抓住空气中的每一粒尘埃；没有水，它随时汲取上天降临的每一滴甘露；借着从南窗透过来的微弱阳光，它膨胀、挣扎，再膨胀、再挣扎，终于，它长出了绿芽，在夏天快要结束的时候，它终于向天空骄傲地绽放出黄艳艳的花朵。不久的后来，它又结出了虽有些小，却颗粒饱满、醇香味美的果实。这粒种子的愿望终于实现了！

推荐文章：《跑过冬天》
文章出处：《中华活页文选》
推荐理由：这篇文章是作者在自己的孩子成人之际写给孩子的一封信，也是一篇耐人寻味的美文，亲切自然，情真意切。以孩子5岁时晨跑的经历开篇，用排比的句段表达父亲的人生经验，娓娓道来，如沐春风，蕴含着父亲无尽的爱。“跑过冬天”实际上是启发我们战胜困难和挫折，用坚强和微笑面对人生中的每次寒冬，这才是成长中最宝贵的礼物。
段落欣赏：
牧牧:
还记得你5岁那年冬天吗？每天清晨，爸爸总是带你到离家不远的公园跑步。 最初，你跑一两圈就累了，停下来央求爸爸，不要让你跑了。但是，爸爸说不行，你必须跑完。你要跑累了呀，可以慢慢跑，要是慢慢跑还累呢，可以走着，但就是不能停下来。
冬日的清晨，公园里寂静无人。路边的杨树早已剥落成秃枝，在寒冷的空气中抖动。你努力地跑着，呼出的气化成一股股白雾。渐渐地，你跑热了，脱去黄色毛线帽在手中，随着你的运动在花坛周围画出了一圈流线。于是冬天不再寒冷，冬天有了生命的流动。
如今你要成为一个成年人了，即将接受成年洗礼。
当你生命开始的时候，你与所有人没有什么不一样。可当你进入社会的时候，你与所有人都不同。
或许，你会遭遇失败，须知人生历程，逆境多，顺境少。故凡事要运用智慧，竭尽全力。社会只看重你的结果，而你要看重努力的过程，即使失败，切勿自弃，社会不同情眼泪，上帝只救自救的人。
或许，你会落入孤独。坚定的攀登者总是孤独地前行，在情感孤独中要守住自我，珍爱自己，“五湖明月在，渔歌总有时”。
尽一切人生之责。
所有的这一切，都是上帝给予你的人生苦难和责任，这就像江河行地、日月经天那样正常自然。既然如此，就让它来吧，你已经开始成人，用微笑和勇气拥抱你的人生！
人生会有许多冬天，跑起来吧，不要停下，跑过冬天！
父亲

>01 The Language of Music
A painter hangs his or her finished picture on a wall, and everyone can see it. A composer writes a work, but no one can hear it until it is performed. Professional singers and players have great responsibilities, for the composer is utterly dependent on them. A student of music needs as long and as arduous a training to become a performer as a medical student needs to become a doctor. Most training is concerned with technique, for musicians have to have the muscular proficiency of an athlete or a ballet dancer. Singers practice breathing every day, as their vocal chords would be inadequate without controlled muscular support. String players practice moving the fingers of the left hand up and down, while drawing the bow to and fro with the right arm -- two entirely different movements.
Singers and instrumentalists have to be able to get every note perfectly in tune. Pianists are spared this particular anxiety, for the notes are already there, waiting for them, and it is the piano tuner's responsibility to tune the instrument for them. But they have their own difficulties: the hammers that hit the strings have to be coaxed not to sound like percussion, and each overlapping tone has to sound clear.
This problem of getting clear texture is one that confronts student conductors: they have to learn to know every note of the music and how it should sound, and they have to aim at controlling these sounds with fanatical but selfless authority. Technique is of no use unless it is combined with musical knowledge and understanding. Great artists are those who are so thoroughly at home in the language of music that they can enjoy performing works written in any century.
01 音乐的语言
画家将已完成的作品挂在墙上，每个人都可以观赏到。作曲家写完了一部作品，得由演奏者将其演奏出来，其他人才能得以欣赏。因为作曲家是如此完全地依赖于职业歌手和职业演奏者，所以职业歌手和职业演奏者肩上的担子可谓不轻。
一名学音乐的学生要想成为一名演奏者，需要经受长期的、严格的训练，就象一名医科的学生要成为一名医生一样。绝大多数的训练是技巧性的。音乐家们控制肌肉的熟练程度，必须达到与运动员或巴蕾舞演员相当的水平。歌手们每天都练习吊嗓子，因为如果不能有效地控制肌肉的话，他们的声带将不能满足演唱的要求。弦乐器的演奏者练习的则是在左手的手指上下滑动的同时，用右手前后拉动琴弓--两个截然不同的动作。歌手和乐器演奏者必须使所有的音符完全相同协调。钢琴家们则不用操这份心，因为每个音符都已在那里等待着他们了。
给钢琴调音是调音师的职责。但调音师们也有他们的难处：他们必须耐心地调理敲击琴弦的音锤，不能让音锤发出的声音象是打击乐器，而且每个交叠的音都必须要清晰。如何得到乐章清晰的纹理 是学生指挥们所面临的难题：他们必须学会了解音乐中的每一个音及其发音之道。他们还 必须致力于以热忱而又客观的权威去控制这些音符。除非是和音乐方面的知识和悟性结合起来，单纯的技巧没有任何用处。艺术家之所以伟大在于他们对音乐语言驾轻就熟，以致于可以满怀喜悦地演出写于任何时代的作品。
>02 Schooling and Education
It is commonly believed in the United States that school is where people go to get an education. Nevertheless, it has been said that today children interrupt their education to go to school. The distinction between schooling and education implied by this remark is important.
Education is much more open-ended and all-inclusive than schooling. Education knows no bounds. It can take place anywhere, whether in the shower or in the job, whether in a kitchen or on a tractor. It includes both the formal learning that takes place in schools and the whole universe of informal learning. The agents of education can range from a revered grandparent to the people debating politics on the radio, from a child to a distinguished scientist.
Whereas schooling has a certain predictability, education quite often produces surprises. A chance conversation with a stranger may lead a person to discover how little is known of other religions. People are engaged in education from infancy on. Education, then, is a very broad, inclusive term. It is a lifelong process, a process that starts long before the start of school, and one that should be an integral part of one's entire life. Schooling, on the other hand, is a specific, formalized process, whose general pattern varies little from one setting to the next.
Throughout a country, children arrive at school at approximately the same time, take assigned seats, are taught by an adult, use similar textbooks, do homework, take exams, and so on. The slices of reality that are to be learned, whether they are the alphabet or an understanding of the workings of government, have usually been limited by the boundaries of the subject being taught. For example, high school students know that they are not likely to find out in their classes the truth about political problems in their communities or what the newest filmmakers are experimenting with.
There are definite conditions surrounding the formalized process of schooling.
上学与受教育
在美国，人们通常认为上学是为了受教育。而现在却有人认为孩子们上学打断了他们受教育的过程。这种观念中的上学与受教育之间的区别非常重要。
与上学相比，教育更具开放性，内容更广泛。教育不受任何限制。它可以在任何场合下进行，在淋浴时，在工作时，在厨房里或拖拉机上。它既包括在学校所受的正规教育，也包括一切非正规教育。传授知识的人可以是德高望重的老者，可以是收音机里进行政治辩论的人们，可以是小孩子，也可以是知名的科学家。上学读书多少有点可预见性，而教育往往能带来意外的发现。与陌生人的一次随意谈话可能会使人认识到自己对其它宗教其实所知甚少。人们从幼时起就开始受教育。因此，教育是一个内涵很丰富的词，它自始至终伴随人的一生，早在人们上学之前就开始了。
教育应成为人生命中不可缺少的一部分。然而，上学却是一个特定的形式化了的过程。在不同场合下，它的基本形式大同小异。在全国各地，孩子们几乎在同一时刻到达学校，坐在指定的座位上，由一位成年人传授知识，使用大致相同的教材，做作业，考试等等。
他们所学的现实生活中的一些片断，如字母表或政府的运作，往往受到科目范 围的限制。 例如，高中生们知道，在课堂上他们没法弄清楚他们社区里政治问题的真情，也不会了解到最新潮的电影制片人在做哪些尝试。学校教育这一形式化的过程是有特定的限制的。
>03 The Definition of "Price"
Prices determine how resources are to be used. They are also the means by which products and services that are in limited supply are rationed among buyers. The price system of the United States is a complex network composed of the prices of all the products bought and sold in the economy as well as those of a myriad of services, includinglabor, professional, transportation, and public-utility services. The interrelationships of all these prices make up the"system" of prices. The price of any particular product or service is linked to a broad, complicated system of prices in which everything seems to depend more or less upon everything else. If one were to ask a group of randomly selected individuals to define "price", many would reply that price is an amount of money paid by the buyer to the seller of a product or service or, in other words, that price is the money value of a product or service as agreed upon in a market transaction. This definition is, of course, valid as far as it goes. For a complete understanding of a price in any particular transaction, much more than the amount of money involved must be known. Both the buyer and the seller should be familiar with not only the money amount, but with the amount and quality of the product or service to be exchanged, the time and place at which the exchange will take place and payment will be made, the form of money to be used, the credit terms and discounts that apply to the transaction, guarantees on the product or service, delivery terms, return privileges, and other factors. In other words, both buyer and seller should be fully aware of all the factors that comprise the total "package" being exchanged for the asked-for amount of money in order that they may evaluate a given price.
"价格"的定义 价格决定资源的使用方式。价格也是有限的产品与服务在买方中的配给手段。美国的价格系统是复杂的网状系统，包括经济生活中一切产品买卖的价格，也包括名目繁多的各种服务，诸如劳动力、专职人员、交通运输、公共事业等服务的价格。
所有这些价格的内在联系构成了价格系统。任何一种个别产品或服务的价格都与这个庞大而复杂的系统密切相关，而且或多或少地受到系统中其它成份的制约。如果随机挑选一群人，问问他们如何定义"价格"，许多人会回答价格就是根据卖方提供的产品或服务，买方向其付出的钱数。 换句话说，价格就是市场交易中大家认同的产品或服务的货币量。该定义就其本身来说自有其道理。
但要获得对价格在任何一桩交易中的完整认识，就必须考虑到大量" 非货币"因素的影响。买卖双方不但要清楚交易中的钱数，而且要非常熟悉交易物的质量和数量，交易的时间、地点，采用哪种形式付款，有怎样的缓付和优惠，对交易物的质量保证、交货条款、退赔权利等等。也就是说，为了能估算索价，买卖双方必须通晓构成交易物价格的通盘细节。
>04 Electricity
The modern age is an age of electricity. People are so used to electric lights, radio, televisions, and telephones that it is hard to imagine what life would be like without them. When there is a power failure, people grope about in flickering candlelight, cars hesitate in the streets because there are no traffic lights to guide them, and food spoils in silent refrigerators.
Yet, people began to understand how electricity works only a little more than two centuries ago. Nature has apparently been experimenting in this field for millions of years. Scientists are discovering more and more that the living world may hold many interesting secrets of electricity that could benefit humanity.
All living cells send out tiny pulses of electricity. As the heart beats, it sends out pulses of record; they form an electrocardiogram, which a doctor can study to determine how well the heart is working. The brain, too, sends out brain waves of electricity, which can be recorded in an electroencephalogram. The electric currents generated by most living cells are extremely small -- often so small that sensitive instruments are needed to record them. But in some animals, certain muscle cells have become so specialized as electrical generators that they do not work as muscle cells at all. When large numbers of these cells are linked together, the effects can be astonishing.
The electric eel is an amazing storage battery. It can send a jolt of as much as eight hundred volts of electricity through the water in which it lives. (An electric house current is only one hundred twenty volts.) As many as four-fifths of all the cells in the electric eel's body are specialized for generating electricity, and the strength of the shock it
can deliver corresponds roughly to the length of its body.
电 当今时代是电气时代。人们对电灯、收音机、电视和电话早已司空见惯以致很难想 象没有它们生活会变成什么样。当停电时，人们在摇曳不定的烛光下暗中摸索；因没有红绿灯的指示，汽车在道路上迟疑不前；冰箱也停止工作，导致食物变质。人们只是在两个世纪前一点才开始了解电的使用原理，自然界却显然在这方面经历过了数百万年。科学家不断发现许多生物世界里可能有益于人类的关于电的有趣秘密。所有生物细胞都会发出微小的电脉冲。 当心脏跳动时，把它发出的脉冲记录下来就成了心电图，这可让医生了解心脏的工作状况。大脑也发出脑电波，这可在脑电图上记录下来。
许多生物细胞发出的电流都是极微小的，小到要用灵敏仪器才能记录和测量。但一些动物的某些肌肉细胞能转化成一个个发电机，以致完全失去肌肉细胞的功能。
这种细胞大量地连接在一起时产生的效果将是非常令人吃惊的。电鳗就是一种令人惊异的蓄电池。它可以在水中发出相当于 800 伏特电压电流(家庭用户的电压只有 120 伏特)。 在电鳗的身体里，多至五分之四的细胞都专门用来发电，而且发出的电流的强度大约和它身体的长度成正比。
>05 The Beginning of Drama
There are many theories about the beginning of drama in ancient Greece.
The one most widely accepted today is based on the assumption that drama evolved from ritual. The argument for this view goes as follows. In the beginning, human beings viewed the natural forces of the world - even the seasonal changes - as unpredictable, and they sought through various means to control these unknown and feared powers. Those measureswhich appeared to bring the desired results were then retained and repeated until they hardened into fixed rituals. Eventually stories arose which explained or veiled the mysteries of the rites. As time passed some rituals were abandoned, but the stories, later called myths, persisted and provided material for art and drama.
Those who believe that drama evolved out of ritual also argue that those rites contained the seed of theater becausemusic, dance, masks, and costumes were almost always used. Furthermore, a suitable site had to be provided for performances and when the entire community did not participate, a clear division was usually made between the"acting area" and the"auditorium." In addition, there were performers, and, since considerable importance was attached to avoiding mistakes in the enactment of rites, religious leaders usually assumed that task. Wearing masks and costumes, they often impersonated other people, animals, or supernatural beings, and mimed the desired effect -- success in hunt or battle, the coming rain, the revival of the Sun -- as an actor might.
Eventually such dramatic representations were separated from religious activities.
Another theory traces the theater's origin from the human interest in storytelling. According to this view tales (about the hunt, war, or other feats) are gradually elaborated, at first through the use of impersonation, action, and dialogue by a narrator and then through the assumption of each of the roles by a different person. A closely related theory traces theater to those dances that are primarily rhythmical and gymnastic or that are imitations of animal movements and sounds.
戏剧的起源 关于古希腊戏剧的起源存在着多种理论，其中一个最普遍为人接受的理论假设认为戏剧从仪式演化而来。 这个观点是这样进行论证的：一开始，人类把世界上的自 然力量，甚至季节的变化都看成是不可预料的。 他们试图通过各种方式去控制这些未知的、令人恐惧的力量。 那些似乎带来了满意结果的手段就被保留下来并且重复直到这些手段固化为不变的仪式，最后产生了能够解释或者掩盖这些仪式神秘性的故事。 随着时间的推移， 一些仪式被废弃了，但这些后来被称作神话的故事流传下来并且为艺术和戏剧提供了素材。认为戏剧从仪式演化而来的人们还认为那些仪式包含了戏剧的基本因素，因为音乐、舞蹈、面具和服装几乎经常被使用，而且，必须为演出提供一个合适的地点；如果不是整个社区共 同参加演出，经常在"演出区"和"观众席"之间划分出明显的分界。
另外，仪式中还有演员， 而且宗教领袖通常承担演出任务，因为在仪式的执行中避免错误的发生被认为有相当
大的重 要性；他们经常带着面具，穿着服装象演员那样扮演其它人、动物或超自然的生灵，用动作来表演以达到所需要的效果，比如打猎的成功或战斗的胜利、将至的雨、太阳的复活。最后这些戏剧性的表演从宗教活动中分离了出来。
另一个追溯戏剧起源的理论认为它来自人们对叙述故事的兴趣。 根据这个观点，故事(关于狩猎、战争或者其它伟绩)是逐渐丰富起 来的。
首先通过一个讲解人来运用模仿、表演和对话，然后再由不同的人扮演各自的角色；另一个与之紧密相关的理论将戏剧的起源追溯至舞蹈，这些舞蹈大体上是有节奏感的和体操式的那一类，或者是对动物动作和声音的模仿。 >06 Television
Television -- the most pervasive and persuasive of modern technologies, marked by rapid change and growth -- is moving into a new era, an era of extraordinary sophistication and versatility, which promises to reshape our lives and our world. It is an electronic revolution of sorts, made possible by the marriage of television and computer technologies.The word "television", derived from its Greek (tele: distant) and Latin (visio: sight) roots, can literally be interpreted as sight from a distance. Very simply put, it works in this way: through a sophisticated system of electronics, television provides the capability of converting an image(focused on a special photoconductive plate within a camera) into electronic impulses, which can be sent through a wire or cable. These impulses, when fed into a receiver (television set), can then be electronically reconstituted into that same image.
Television is more than just an electronic system, however. It is a means of expression, as well as a vehicle for communication, and as such becomes a powerful tool for reaching other human beings.
The field of television can be divided into two categories determined by its means of transmission. First, there is broadcast television, which reaches the masses through broad-based airwave transmission of television signals.Second, there is nonbroadcast television, which provides for the needs of individuals or specific interest groups through controlled transmission techniques.
Traditionally, television has been a medium of the masses. We are most familiar with broadcast television because it has been with us for about thirty-seven years in a form similar to what exists today. During those years, it has been controlled, for the most part, by the broadcast networks, ABC, NBC, and CBS, who have been the major purveyors of news, information, and entertainment. These giants of broadcasting have actually shaped not only television but our perception of it as well. We have come to look upon the picture tube as a source of entertainment, placing our role in this dynamic medium as the passive viewer.
电视电视--以快速变化与发展为标志的最普遍、最具有影响力的一项现代技术，正在步入一个极端复杂化与多样化的新时代。
这个时代承诺重新塑造我们的生活和我们的世界。这可以称得上是又一次电子革命，其关键在于电视技术与计算机技术的结合。"电视"这个词 来源于希腊语词根(tele：远)和拉丁语词根(vision：景象)，可以从字面上理解为来自远处的 景象。
简单说来，电视是以这种方式工作的，通过一个复杂的电子系统，电视能够将一幅图像(这幅图像被聚焦在一部摄像机内的一块特殊的光导底片上)转换成能经过导线或电缆发送出去的电子脉冲信号。
当这些电子脉冲信号被输入一部接收机(电视机)时，就可以用 电子学的方法把脉冲信号重新恢复成同一幅图像。但是，电视不仅仅是一个电子系统，它还是一种表达工具和传播渠道。因此，电视成了一个对其他人发生影响的强大工具。电视这个领域可以根据其发射方式分为两类。
第一类为广播电视，通过电视信号的宽带无线电波 发射展现在大众面前；第二类为非广播电视，使用受控的发射技术来满足个人以及某些特殊利益群体的需要。电视早已成为大众媒介。我们熟悉广播电视，因为广播电视已经以类似目前的方式存在了大约37 年。
在那些年头中，电视绝大部分一直由 ABC、NBC、CBS 这些广播电视公司控制着，这些广播电视公司一直是新闻、信息和娱乐的主要提供者。 这些广播业的巨头实际上不仅塑造了电视，而且也塑造了我们对电视的理解。 我们渐渐把显像管看作是娱乐的来源，让自己成为这个生动的媒介的被动观众。
>07 Andrew Carnegie
Andrew Carnegie, known as the King of Steel, built the steel industry in the United States, and, in the process, became one of the wealthiest men in America. His success resulted in part from his ability to sell the product and in part from his policy of expanding during periods of economic decline, when most of his competitors were reducing their investments.Carnegie believed that individuals should progress through hard work, but he also felt strongly that the wealthy should use their fortunes for the benefit of society. He opposed charity, preferring instead to provide
educational opportunities that would allow others to help themselves. "He who dies rich, dies disgraced, " he often said.Among his more noteworthy contributions to society are those that bear his name, including the Carnegie Institute of Pittsburgh, which has a library, a museum of fine arts, and a museum of national history. He also founded a school of technology that is now part of Carnegie-Mellon University. Other philanthropic gifts are the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace to promote understanding between nations, the Carnegie Institute of Washington to fund scientific research, and Carnegie Hall to provide a center for the arts.
Few Americans have been left untouched by Andrew Carnegie's generosity. His contributions of more than five million dollars established 2,500 libraries in small communities throughout the country and formed the nucleus of the public library system that we all enjoy today.
安德鲁?卡内基被称作钢铁大王的安德鲁?卡内基在美国建立了钢铁工业。在这个过程中，他变成了美国最富有的人之一。
他的成功，部分来自于他销售产品的能力，部分来自于经济萧条时期的扩充策略。在萧条时期，他的多数对手都在缩减投资。卡内基认为个人应该通过努力工作来获得进展，但他也强烈地感到有钱人应该运用他们的财富来为社会谋取福利。 他反对施舍救济，更愿意提供教育机会，使别人自立。
卡内基经常说："富有着 死去的人死得可耻。"他对社会的较重要的贡献都以他的名字命名。这些贡献包括匹兹堡卡内基学校。
这个学校有一个图书馆，一个美术馆和一个国家历史博物馆；他还创立了一所 技术学校，这所学校现在是卡内基梅隆大学的一部分；其他的慈善捐赠有为促进国家间了解的"卡内基国际和平基金"，为科学研究提供经费的华盛顿卡内基学院以及给各种艺术活动提供活动中心的卡内基音乐厅。安德鲁?卡内基的慷慨大度几乎影响到每个美国人的生活。由于他超过五百万美元的捐款，2500个图书馆得以建立起来，遍布在美国各地的小村镇，形成了我们今天还在享用的公共图书馆系统的核心。
>08 American Revolution
The American Revolution was not a revolution in the sense of a radical or total change. It was not a sudden and violent overturning of the political and social framework, such as later occurred in France and Russia, when bothwere already independent nations. Significant changes were ushered in, but they were not breathtaking. What
happened was accelerated evolution rather than outright revolution. During the conflict itself people went on working and praying, marrying and playing. Most of them were not seriously disturbed by the actual fighting, and many of the more isolated communities scarcely knew that a war was on. America's War of Independence heralded the birth of three modern nations. One was Canada, which received its first large influx of English-speaking population from the thousands of loyalists who fled there from the United States. Another was Australia, which became a penal colony now that America was no longer available for prisoners and debtors. The third newcomer -- the United States -- based itself squarely on republican principles.Yet even the political overturn was not so revolutionary as one might suppose. In some states, notably Connecticut and Rhode Island, the war largely ratified a colonial self-rule already existing. British officials, everywhere ousted, were replaced by a home-grown governing class, which promptly sought a local substitute for king and Parliament.
美国革命美国革命其实并不算是一场革命，因为它并未导致完全的和彻底的变化。这次革命并不是对政治和社会框架的一次突然和猛烈的颠覆，象后来在已经是独立国家的法国 和俄国所爆发的革命那样。
革命带来了重大的变化，但并非翻天覆地，所发生的只是进化 的加速，而不是一场彻底的革命；在冲突期间，人们仍然上班、做礼拜、结婚、玩耍。多数人并没有受到实际战斗的严重影响。许多较闭塞的社区对这场战争几乎一无所知。美国独立战争宣布了三个现代国家的诞生，其中一个是加拿大。
加拿大的第一大批讲英语的流 入人口来自于成千上万英王的效忠者，这些人从美国逃到了加拿大。另一个国家是澳大利亚，因为美国不再是容纳罪犯和欠债者的国度了，澳大利亚就变成了一个惩治罪犯的殖民地(注：独立战争前，英国政府将罪犯流放到美国)。第三个国家就是美国，它完全建立在共和原则基础上。即使政治上的颠覆也不如人们可能想象的那样具有革命性。在一些州，特别是康涅狄格和罗德岛，战争基本上只是承认了已经存在的殖民地的自治。四处被驱逐的英国官员都被本土的统治阶级所替代，这个统治阶级迅速地以地方权力机关来替代国王和议会。
>09 Suburbanization
If by "suburb" is meant an urban margin that grows more rapidly than its already developed interior, the process of suburbanization began during the emergence of the industrial city in the second quarter of the nineteenth century. Before that period the city was a small highly compact cluster in which people moved about on foot and goods were conveyed

月 光 曲
一天晚上，我漫步在月光下，忽发奇想，仿佛听到月亮姑娘在深情地诉说。
——题记
你还在追寻着我的脚步吗？——我心中的少年。
正值薄暮时分，我悄悄地来到人世间，在苍茫的夜色中，看见你正独自徘徊在小树林里。你不顾晚风袭人，不时的向我挥动着手中的花环。也许是因为受了你的感染，我的脸上也泛起了一层红晕。我羞涩地躲在白云身后，透过薄薄的轻纱，看见你正痴痴的望着我。
你说，众星捧月。其实，我也不过是一颗普普通通的小星星。你的错误的崇拜使我心里忐忑不安。
你说，我是一本耐人寻味的好书，永
夜色沉沉，晚风习习，林中传来了你那美妙的歌声。望着你深情的目光，我真想从树梢上跳下来，投进你的怀抱，——当你张开双臂，想拥抱我的时候。可惜我身不由已，枉负了你一片苦心。
就让那火红的朝阳永远照亮你的心吧！倘若能够，我愿意化作温馨的春风，溶进濛濛细雨之中??
但我的心中不能没有你，——“嫦娥应悔偷灵药，碧海青天夜夜心”。 天地有灵，当知道，春雨濛濛，那滴落在你身上的，不是天上的雨水，而是我心中的眼泪！
我在遥远天国祝福你——我心中的少年，当你独自一人走夜路的时候。 （精美小文，深刻隽永。连读几遍，甚为折服也。作者托物言情，寄情于月，意境清远；行文遣词，匠心独运，犹如天籁之声，袅袅娜娜；又如天边彩云，绚丽多彩，随风舞动，但形散而神不散也。 ——爸爸读后有感 2012.4.6于教育局）
The second essay
幸福
巴克莱
幸福的生活有三个不可或缺的因素：一是有希望，二是有事做，三是能爱人。
有希望。
亚历山大大帝有一次大送礼，表示他的慷慨。他给了甲一大笔钱，给了乙一个省份，给了丙一个高官。他的朋友听到这件事后，对他说：“你要是一直这样做下去，会一贫如洗。”亚历山大回答说：“我哪里会一贫如洗？我给自己留下的是一份最伟大的礼物——希望。”一个人要是只生活在回忆中，失去了希望，他的生命便已经开始终结。回忆不能鼓舞我们有力地生活下去，回忆只能让我们逃避，好像囚犯逃出监狱。
有事做。
一个英国老妇人，在她身患重病、自知时日不多的时候，写下了如下的诗句：“现在别怜悯我，永远也不要怜悯我；我将不再工作，永远永远不再工作。”很多人都有过失业或者没有事做的时候，这时会觉得日子过得很慢，生活十分空虚。有过这种经验的人都知道，有事做不是不幸，而是一种幸福。
能爱人。
诗人白朗宁曾写道：“他望了她一眼，她对他回眸一笑，生命突然复苏。”生命中有了爱，我们就会变得谦卑、有生气，新的希望油然而生，仿佛有千百件事等着去完成。有了爱，生命就有了春天，世界也变得万紫千红。最美的祷告应该是：主啊，求你让我有力量去帮助别人！
（爸爸寄语：幸福在哪里？在于“有希望、有事做、能爱人”。人生于天地之间，当有梦想，继之以矻矻奋斗，用汗水用智慧用毅力去实现梦想、超越梦想。以博爱之心，海纳百川，厚积薄发。。。。。。）
The third one（通过富有诗意及概括性的颁奖词，一个个人物正款款向你走来。。。。。。）
2011年感动中国人物颁奖词
朱光亚
【颁奖词】人生为一大事来。他一生就做了一件事，但却是新中国血脉中，激烈奔涌的最雄壮力量。细推物理即是乐，不用浮名绊此生。遥远苍穹，他是最亮的星。
胡忠 谢晓君夫妇
【颁奖词】他们带上年幼的孩子，是为了更多的孩子。他们放下苍老的父母，是为了成为最好的父母。不是绝情，是极致的深情；不是冲动，是不悔的抉择。他们是高原上怒放的并蒂雪莲。
吴孟超
【颁奖词】60年前，他搭建了第一张手术台，到今天也没有离开。手中一把刀，游刃肝胆，依然精准；心中一团火，守着誓言，从未熄灭。他是不知疲倦的老马，要把病人一个一个驮过河。
无臂钢琴师刘伟
【颁奖词】当命运的绳索无情地缚住双臂，当别人的目光叹息生命的悲哀，他依然固执地为梦想插上翅膀，用双脚在琴键上写下：相信自己。那变幻的旋律，正是他努力飞翔的轨迹
杨善洲
好书记杨善洲退休后义务植树22年
【颁奖词】绿了荒山，白了头发，他志在造福百姓；老骥伏枥，意气风发，他心向未来。清廉，自上任时起；奉献，直到最后一天。60年里的一切作为，就是为了不辜负人民的期望。
阿里木
烤羊肉串的阿里木 8年资助上百名贫困生
【颁奖词】快乐的巴郎，在烟火缭绕的街市上，大声放歌。苦难没有冷了他的热心，声誉不能改变他的信念。一个人最朴素的恻隐，在人群中激荡起向善的涟漪。
张平宜
“希望之翼”张平宜让麻风村孩子受教育
【颁奖词】蜀道难，蜀道难，台湾娘子上凉山。跨越海峡，跨越偏见，她抱起麻风村孤单的孩子，把无助的眼神柔化成对世界的希望。她看起来无比坚强，其实她的内心比谁都柔软。
孟佩杰
孝女孟佩杰8岁起照顾瘫痪的养母
【颁奖词】在贫困中，她任劳任怨，乐观开朗，用青春的朝气驱赶种种不幸；在艰难里，她无怨无悔，坚守清贫，让传统的孝道充满着每个细节。虽然艰辛填满了四千多个日子，可是她的笑容依然灿烂如花。
吴菊萍
“最美妈妈”吴菊萍 奋不顾身托住小生命

刘金国
忠诚卫士刘金国 两袖清风，一心为公
【颁奖词】贼有未曾经我缚，事无不可对人言。是盾，就矗立在危险前沿，寸步不退。是剑，就向邪恶扬眉出鞘，绝不姑息。烈火锻造的铁血将帅，两袖清风的忠诚卫士。 The Fourth one
