There was a farmer in the Song Kingdom in ancient China. He worked in his field day after day. In good harvest years, he could only have enough food to eat and enough clothing to wear. If the field failed to produce enough crops, he had to go hungry. This farmer wanted to improve his life. But he was too lazy and too cowardly. He always dreamed of having unexpected fortune.
A miracle took place at last. One day, when he worked in the field, some people were hunting nearby. They shouted loudly one after another. Some little animals were running desperately. Suddenly, a hare dashed itself headlong against the stump of a dead tree in his field and died.
That day, he had a good meal.
From that day on, he no longer worked in his field. From morning till night, he stayed by that miraculous stump, waiting for another hare. Will the miracle happen again?
People often use the set phrase “staying by a stump waiting for more hares to come and dash themselves against it" to refer to persons dreaming to reap without sowing.
在战国时代的宋国,有一个农民,每天都很辛苦地在田地里干活.遇到好年景,也不过刚刚吃饱穿暖;要是遇到灾荒,他就得忍饥挨饿了.他很想能过上好一点的日子,可是他太懒,胆子又特小,干什么都是又懒又怕的,总是想着能碰到送上门来的意外之财就好了。
奇迹终于发生了。一天,他正在田里干活,一群打猎的人靠近了。吆喝之声四处起伏,受惊的小动物们没命地奔跑。突然, 有一只兔子,不偏不倚,一头撞死在他田边的树根上。
这天,他美美地饱餐了一顿。
从此,他就不再种地了,一天到晚守着那个神奇的.树根,等着奇迹再次出现。
人们后来就常用“守株待兔”这个成语来形容那些老梦想着不耕种就会有收获的人。
【汉字】守株待兔
【拼音】shǒu zhū dài tù
【基本释义】株:露出地面的树根。原比喻希图不经过努力而得到成功的侥幸心理。现也比喻死守狭隘,不知变通。 贬义词
【出处】汉·王充《论衡》:“犹守株待兔之蹊;藏身破置之路也。”
【近义词】刻舟求剑 固守成规 坐享其成 墨守成规 好逸恶劳 守株缘木 缘木求鱼
【反义词】通权达变 借坡下驴 标新立异 见风使舵 除旧布新 随机应变

阅读的乐趣
阅读之于心灵犹如运动之于身体。阅读的人心胸通常较为开阔且鲜少感到无聊。通过阅读不同种类的书,你可以开阔心胸和激发想象力。
此外,阅读是一种花费不多的消遣。它不会花你许多钱,因为你可以很容易地向图书馆或朋友借到书。阅读对于全家人而言特别有益。举例来说,我的家人喜欢阅读。我们经常利用晚上的时间聚在一起讨论文学和分享从书中得来的见解。因此,阅读使我们更亲密地在一起。

为何学英语?
学英语有许多好处英语是国际语言如果你会说英语,那么你到任何地方去都不会有什么困难。而且如果你会读英语的话,那么你对世界上所发生的事可随时获得第一手的资料。然而精通英语却不是一朝一夕就可办到的这需要时间和耐心。
首先,你必须给自己找一本好词典。遇到你不懂的单词时就要查词典。任何的阅读材料都可以,但是务必要做到每天至少读两个小时的书。切记学英语是没有捷径的。这需要下很多功夫,但就其获益而言,这样的努力是非常值得的。

提高英语的方法
我和我的的同学莉莉是我们英语班上成绩最好的学生。你知道我们是如何使英语进步的吗?我们每星期在一家咖啡厅见面两次练习英语,我们整个下午都用英语讨论各种不同的主题。然后一位美国朋友斯坦每个星期和我们做一次语言交流。我们教他中文,他则教我们英语。不到6个月的时间,我们的英语便突廷猛进。
通过斯坦我们也认识了其他的美国人。现在我们已经有了不少的美国朋友。当然,我们总是用英语和他们交谈。这种学英语的方法对我们产生了惊人的效果,或许这对你也有用哦。

从错误中学习
有些人认为犯错是可耻的。但事实上,犯错是每个人生活中很普通的事。没有人是完美无瑕的。期望一个人永远正确是不合理的,然而,我们应该竭尽所能避免再犯相同的错误。我觉得犯错反而可能是一件好事。通过错误我们才能找到把事情做对的途径。最后,还有很重要的一点必须记住,那就是几乎没有任何错误会严重到无法改正的地步。

我和英语
英语以前对我而言是件头痛的事。我总是觉得记新的单词很困难。我对语法也一窍不通,因为我所学的语法规则里有很多例外,而这几乎把我逼疯了。不用说,我的英语很烂,但我却持之以恒。
幸运的是,我有个很有耐心的老师,他没有责备我,反而一直鼓励我。在他的帮助和我的勤奋之下,我的英语逐渐地进步。过了一些时日,我在学英语方面似乎不再那么辛苦了。
事实上,英语现在是我最强的一科,这就说明了没有什么事情可以代替努力用功。

如果我是个大学生
长久以来上大学一直是我的梦想。如果我有机会成为大学生的话,我会尽全力来扩充我的知识。我不仅要主修艺术,而且还要副修哲学和英国文学。
同时,我也要参加像游泳和爬山等的课外活动。最后还有一件重要的事情就是,我要去追求校园内最漂亮的女生。在这些目标的驱使下,我决心要努力学习以实现我的梦想。

自小我就对音乐相当喜爱,而且喜欢弹钢琴。高中时,我梦想在摇滚乐团里弹吉他,但是因为学业的压力,我和同学都没有足够的时间练习。
然而,一旦我上了大学,我打算多花些时间在个人兴趣上,特别是音乐。或许我能和其他志同道合的同学联合起来组成那个我一直梦想的乐团。

当我长大后
我长大后,不要像我父母一样我也不要像我的老师二事实上,我不要像我认识的任何人。每个人都太忙碌了。他们似乎除了工作之外就没有时间做任何事:他们有自己的生活,但对我而言,他们并不是真的活。生活中一定有比工作更重要的事。
因此,我决定长大后要当作家:我要尽可能到世界各地去旅行来体验人生。最后,我要写一本书来告诉人们如何过充实的生活我也许野心太大了,但我相信我的梦想总有一天会实现的。

我的`父亲
我对父亲最早的一些记忆之一是他以前常在黎明时离家去慢跑。他是一个传统的中国父亲,这意味着他不轻易对儿女表露他的情感,而且我和他并不常交谈。
前一阵子,他叫我和他去慢跑。我讨厌和他慢跑,因为我不知道要和他说什么。不用说,我不喜欢和爸爸一起运动。然而,随着时间推移,我和他开始在慢跑时交谈。后来,他甚至开始讲笑话给我听!这是我以前从未见过的一面。我很高兴他要我和他去慢跑,因为我们的父子关系因此大为改善。

我的邻居
我们家隔壁住着一位张先生,他是一个清道夫。他年约60出头,看起来很严肃;但事实上,他很容易相处而且总是为别人设想。虽然他没受过教育,但和他交谈是件令人愉快的事。不论晴雨,他都会在一大早交通流量还很小时就出去工作。因为那些没有公德心的人会在街道上乱丢大量的垃圾,所以他直到中午才能休息。令我惊讶的是,他从不抱怨他那辛苦又肮脏的工作。总之,我不会因他是个清道夫就看不起他;相反地,我尊敬我的这位好邻居。

我的妈妈
我妈妈本来是个小学老师,她在两年前退休了。她献身教育达45年之久。换句话说,她把最美好的青春岁月用来教导她的学生。虽然她现在不是老师,但她仍然很关心台湾的教育发展。
虽然妈妈不再是职业妇女,但她仍然无时无刻不在忙。她每天都早起准备我们的早餐和做所有的家务。此外,她也到一座寺庙去自愿帮助那些僧侣及信徒们做些小杂事。因为教师节快到了,我祝她永远健康快乐。毕竟,妈妈们是世界上最伟大的教育家。

我的弟弟
在老师和父母眼中,我的弟弟是个偏离正途的年轻人,然而在我眼中,他是个音乐天才。他出勤的记录很差,实际上还休学两次。事实上真正令他感兴趣的是音乐。他的确很有音乐天分:他歌唱得好,有作词作曲的天赋,甚至还跟他的哥们儿组成一支乐团。
我喜欢听他写的歌,虽然歌词有点不成熟,但那是直接发自他内心的情感。他说他的梦想是献身音乐工作。谁知道他走的是不是正途呢?但我倒知道不管他做什么,音乐永远是他生活中的一部分。

Imagination is the ability to form a mental image of something that is not perceived through the senses. As to the attitude towards imagination, it varies from person to person. Some people think that imagination is good for many things. First, imagination makes it possible to experience a whole world inside the mind. Secondly, imagination has a great role and value in each one’s life.
However, some people hold a negative view on it. They think it does not matter whether you have imagination or not. First, imagination is not practical, which makes people daydreamers. Second, people sometimes do not have to be imaginative in life or work. If they follow the step-by-step schedule, they also would succeed. In their eyes, imagination is a creative power but it is not necessary to achieve success in any field.
As I am concerned, I think we should recognize the importance of the power of the imagination, maintain, and develop our imagination as time steps. Understanding how to use your imagination correctly will put you on the golden path to success, satisfaction, and happiness.
Wolf, meeting with a Lamb astray from the fold, resolved not to lay violent hands on him, but to find some plea, which should justify to the Lamb himself his right to eat him. He thus addressed him:"Sirrah, last year you grossly insulted me." "Indeed," bleated the Lamb in a mournful tone of voice, "I was not then born." Then said the Wolf, "You feed in my pasture."
"No, good sir," replied the Lamb, "I have not yet tasted grass." Again said the Wolf, "You drink of my well." "No," exclaimed the Lamb, "I never yet drank water, for as yet my mother′s milk is both food and drink to me." On which the Wolf seized him, and ate him up, saying, "Well! I won′t remain supperless, even though you refute every one of my imputations."The tyrant will always find a pretext for his tyranny.
狼和小羊
一只狼瞧见一只迷路失群的小羊,决定暂缓下毒手,想先找一些理由,对小羊证明自己有吃它的权利。它就说:「小鬼!你去年曾经骂过我。」小羊可怜地说:「老实说,我去年还没有出生呢。」狼再说:「你在我的草地上吃过草。」
小羊回答说:「不,好先生,我还未曾尝过草的味道呢。」狼又说:「你喝过我井里的.水。」小羊叫道:「不,我从没有喝过水,因为直到今天为止,我都是吃着母亲的奶汁。」狼一听这话,便抓住它,把它吃下去,便说:「好!即使你驳倒我每一句话,我终究要吃晚餐的!」暴君总有他暴行的借口。

Sometimes I dream about life in the future. What will it be?
Perhaps some people will go to the moon for a holiday or even live on the moon,and some scientists will build cities under the sea to make people live there. We can have a medical examination or do some shopping without leaving our homes,which makes the life more convenient. Maybe we will also do some shopping and work at home.
And I'm sure there'll be more educational programmes on the radio or TV or by the Intemet or videophones,so perhaps some children won't need to go to school every day. They'll study at home.
In the future,all electric equipment at home is under the con-trol of computers. People can learn about the situation of the house by working on the computer at the office. No people like doing housework. Maybe each family will have a robot. Every day we can tell the robot what to do-shopping,housework and so on. believe the dream will come true some day.
