How long will it be before you find yourself famous?
眼球经济时代，速成“明星”究竟能红多久
“IN the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes.” US artist Andy Warhol made this famous statement in 1968. Back then, the only really famous people were pop stars and actors, political figures and war
heroes – although things were changing. In just 30 years, his statement seems to have come true.
Today there are countless individuals that go in and out of the media spotlight. The most common way that
ordinary people today become famous is through reality shows. Both American Idol and Hunan TV’s have produced quite a few instant stars.
The most famous person of this type is Scottish singer Susan Boyle, an out-of-work, plain-looking
48-year-old who came to international attention when she appeared on the reality TV program Britain’s
Got
Talent in April 2009.
However, Boyle’s success was largely due to a video posted on YouTube. According to the BBC, the video

easy for an average Joe (路人) to get noticed,” writes Jonita
But 15 minutes is a very short time; most of these instant celebrities fade from view. If others show true
talent or staying power, they may be awarded extra time to prove themselves worthy of media and public
attention.
But while Warhol emphasized the short-lived nature of modern fame, he also pointed out that fame is easier
to get nowadays. If digital video cameras enable people to become reporters, why shouldn’t
they also become celebrities?
Helping out
MORE and more migrant workers (外来务工者) are looking for jobs in cities. This has created a problem:
the large number of children that are left behind.
This winter break, my friends and I visited such a stay-at-home kid.
Huang Taizhong is a Junior 2 student at Chengdu No 7 Middle School. His parents got divorced (离婚的)
and both moved away to work in other cities. Huang lives with his old grandparents in an apartment with only old
furniture.
Huang was shy at first but became talkative when we helped him with his math and English.
At the end of our talk, I gave him many books that were too expensive for his family to afford (支付得起).
He just smiled and said: “I really appreciate your help. Don’t worry, and I will study hard!”
His words moved me. I hope that our visit brought him joy and helped him face up to the challenges of his
life and studies.

go on, take it. You can use it to buy Chang’an Avenue in Beijing, or any other street in any other city on Google Maps.
That’s right. The online map is now one big Monopoly game board. The new worldwide (全球的) online
Monopoly game, called Monopoly City Streets, started last month. So many people tried to play that the website
went down.
“We expected an opening rush when we launched (推出) the Monopoly City Streets online game, but the
first few hours are beyond even our greatest expectations (预期),” a post on the game’s website read.
Monopoly City Streets allows users to buy up streets in cities around the world, from New York to London to
Beijing. Players can also build all kinds of different buildings on their street. They can also create danger on other
people’s streets. The idea is to beat your friends and the world to become the richest property (财产) owner.
Monopoly first became popular in the hard economic times of the 1930s, and the new game appears in
another hard period – the present financial crisis (金融危机). As The Christian Science Monitor points out, people
like to pretend they can make money in times when they have so little of it in the real world. But you’d better hurry if you want to play the game. People are buying up streets fast, and the game will end in January 2010.
How to start
The first step is to go to the website (https://www.doczj.com/doc/007909862.html,/game.html). When you get there,

Ban these ads? 你赞同影视作品中植入商业广告吗？
YES
Embedded (植入的) ads are acceptable.
reasonable for advertisements to appear in films and TV shows. It is an important way
Mao Weiying: I think it’s
for the makers to earn money, which supports their investment (投资), and thus produces more good work.
Shi Xingjian: Adverts that break up a program or film are frustrating for the audience. Embedded advertising is
better, since the program is not interrupted. It’s more natural.
Ye Xueni: We watch teleplays (电视剧) from beginning to end. Embedded advertisements don’t affect this, as commercial breaks (广告时间) do. And they do make profits for business. Why not just turn a blind eye to them?
NO
Embedded advertisements are annoying (烦人的).
Wu Luxue: Even if a film or a TV program is good, an embedded advertisement can spoil it. Even worse, some
of the ads are not a natural fit for the show. There is nothing in the world more annoying than ads.
Wang Xubo:I don’t believe there should be ads in films and TV plays. They are an insult (侮辱) to the art and
they kill interest in the program.
Han Danyang: We know why businesses pay to embed ads in programs; for the same reason the producers make
them in the first place –money. Audiences, however, do not watch TV shows and movies for a commercial
reason.
Head to New York...
MANY people think of New York City as an international center for eating. Top chefs (厨师) from around
the world set up restaurants there. They hope to find success in a city where people love to eat well and are willing
to spend good money to do it.
New York is also the perfect city for street food: inexpensive take-away food sold out of carts (手推车) on
the streets and sidewalks (人行道) of the city. New York City is home to people from all over the world, who
have brought their language, culture, and food with them. A diverse (多种多样的) population means that there
will be plenty of food to taste from all over the globe.
Street food is attractive (吸引人的) to New Yorkers for many reasons. There are so many different flavors
(风味) and styles, all just steps away. The meals are inexpensive. And in a place full of busy, rushing people, it
takes only minutes to get a meal.
Street food is the talk of the town after the fifth yearly Vendy Award contest, in September. The Vendy
Awards give awards for the best street food vendor (商贩), the most popular carts, and the best new vendor of the
year. According to celebrity chef Mario Batali, the Vendys are “the Oscars Academy Awards of food for th New York.” This year, flavorful (美味的) Mexican food of the Country Boys taco truck (专卖墨西哥玉米面卷饼
的餐车) won the top award.
If you're looking for the best food in New York, step outside the restaurants –the perfect meal may be
waiting on the street.
Here's how Dad and I bonded
手机短信让我和爸爸之间的代沟消失了。
MY father and I did not talk very often. When he got home from work I was always concentrating (专注于)
on my homework. I said “Hi” without looking up at him. Sometimes it was the only communication between us.
This winter vacation, I went to Guangzhou to visit my aunt. My father stayed alone at home since he did not
have time off. I often thought of him as the night fell. One evening, to find out if he was all right, I sent him a text
message.
To my surprise, he replied immediately. “I’m great. Thanks for your concern. How are you doing, sweetie?
I was astonished (惊讶的) because I didn’t know he could send messages t hat fast and I didn’t expect that he
would call me “sweetie”．
After that, we shared our daily news every day via text messages, over the whole holiday. It made me feel
great. It was as my dad said afterwards, “It is really good to know that someone you love does care about you.
Thanks to the vacation, the generation gap (代沟) between us faded away (减退). It’s so important that we let
our loved ones know how we feel.
Chase after
STILL on their world tour, members of the Taiwan pop trio (三人组) S.H.E. released their new album Shero on
March 26. The three girls – Selina, Hebe and Ella – sing about romance, friendship and work.
The title song Shero was written by Mayday’s lead singer, Ashin. The group claims to hope to inspire (激励)
women to chase after their ambitions. The CD also contradicts the rumor that the group will split up.
我们常说的“追逐梦想”，就可以用chase after dream来表达。Chase after 是个固定搭配。意为“追逐、追赶”
(try very hard to get sth)。例如：He’s been chasing after the world record all season.
This is Pato...
FROM Ronaldo and Ronaldinho to Kaka and Robinho, Brazil is never short of football stars. If you have ever wondered who could be the next big name, 20-year-old Alexandre Pato is a player to watch. Pato showed his talent in a Champions League (冠军联赛) match against Spanish giants Real Madrid on October 22. His second goal gave AC Milan victory in a 3-2 thriller at the Bernabeu football ground. Before the match, Kaka, who left
Milan to join Madrid over the summer, was the center of all the attention. But it was Pato who stole the show.
In an interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport, Pato explained his thoughts in the instant before he took his decisive (决定性的) kick: “I said to myself: you must hit the net! And I did it. I want to make football hist o ry and the two goals against Real Madrid are just the beginning of this story,” he said.
Pato started to play indoor football at the age of three. In fact, he had already become part of history at 17 when he scored a goal in the FIFA World Club Cup tournament – he was the youngest scorer in the history of FIFA competition.
Pato has good control and moves intelligently (聪明地). Most of all, he is quick. It''s clear why many people have linked him to a young Ronaldo. Yet Pato says that the praise does not give him pressure. Instead, he welcomes it.
“I was happy to listen to people saying I was a great player. It makes me want to do my best.
Now, the question remains: with Ronaldinho, Kaka and Pato, which team will be able to stop Brazil on their road to the next World Cup title?

THIS week, it’s nudes (
By the time the Spanish airline Air Comet went bankrupt (破产) last winter, some of its workers hadn’t bee paid in over nine months. Now former Air Comet flight attendants (乘务员) are demanding (索要) their wages
(工资) in a very public way.
Nine of the young women took off their clothes recently to pose (摆姿势) nude for a calendar. A spokesperson for the women said that the flight attendants contributed (贡献) to th e calendar in order to “continue
to publicize their situation and demand a solution”．
The flight attendants took off their clothes to make an important statement, but what was Daniel R. Lee
excuse?
The 22-year-old man was caught by police after running through a supermarket in Tennessee, US, wearing
nothing more than a face mask (面具). When questioned, he told the police that he made his naked shopping trip
because he was “bored and didn’t have anything else to do”．
Police officers found the young man in the bathroom of a nearby fast food restaurant. Employees said that he
had run into the restaurant and asked if someone could lend him clothes. One kind worker gave him a pair of
shorts.
I Have a Dream
I say to you today, my friends, so even though we face the difficulties of the day and tomorrow, I still have a
dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.
I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: “We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal”. I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of
brotherhood. I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a desert state, sweltering with the heat of
injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice. I have a
dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their
skin but by the content their character.
I have a dream today.

“I tell you I must go!” I retorted, roused to something like passion.
“Do you think I can stay to become nothing to you? Do you think I am an automat ion? —a machine without

from my cup? Do you think, because I am poor, obscure, plain, and little, I am soulless and heartless? You think

Where There Is Life, There Is Music
If you ask me what is the most important thing in my life, I will say music without hesitation. I have liked
music from my childhood. My father often says when I was a baby I would never go to sleep without soft, beautiful music. Now music is a part of my life. When I feel tired, disappointed, or in low spirits, I usually turn to music. Music, nothing but music, can have so wonderful an effect on my heart and feelings.
Not only me, but also many high school students like popular music. They listen to music before class, after class, and even at lunch.
It’s hard to imagine life without music. In fact, music is an important part of many people’s everyday life.
Music comes with us. Where there is life, there is music. Where there is music, there is hope. You can hear music wherever you may go. A man who doesn’t know music will lose half the world. A world without music would be a dull and dead one.
our lives. Love music and So dear friends, let’s open our arms and embrace music and enjoy it throughout
love life.

Yesterday Once More (song)
When I was young, I’d listen to the radio, waiting for my favorite songs.
When they played I would sing along. It made me smile.
Those were such happy times, and not so long ago.
How I wondered where they’d gone.
But they are back again, just like a long-lost friend, all the songs I love so well.
Every sha-la-la-la, every wo-wo still shines.
Every shing-a-ling -a-ling, that they’re starting to sing, so fine.
When they get to the part where he’s breaking her heart,
It can really make me cry, just like before, it’s yesterday once more.
Looking back on how it was in years gone by, and the good time that I had,
makes today seem rather sad; so much has changed.
ze each word.
It was songs of love that I would sing to them, and I’d memori Those old melodies still sound so good to me, as they melt the years away.
Every sha-la-la-la, every wo-wo still shines.
Every shing-a-ling -a-ling, that they’re starting to sing, so fine.
All my best memories come back clearly to me; some can even make me cry.
Just like before, it’s yesterday once more.
Opportunity
The air we breathe is so freely available that we take it for granted. Yet without it we could not survive more
than a few minutes. For the most part, the same air is available to everyone, and everyone needs it. Some people
use the air to sustain them while they sit around and feel sorry for themselves. Others breathe in the air and use the energy it provides to make a magnificent life for themselves.
Opportunity is the same way. It is everywhere. Opportunity is so freely available that we take it for granted.
Yet opportunity alone is not enough to create success. Opportunity must be seized and acted upon in order to have value. So many people are so anxious to get in on a ground floor opportunity, as if the opportunity will do all the work. That’s impossible.
Just as you need air to breathe, you need opportunity to succeed. It takes more than just breathing in the fresh
p to air of opportunity, however. You must make use o f that opportunity. That’s not up to the opportunity. That you. It doesn’t matter what floor the opportunity is on. What matters is what you
do with it.
词汇注释：
1. opportunity n. 机会, 时机
2. available adj.可利用的, 有用的, 接受探访的
3. sustain vt. 支撑, 撑住, 维持, 持续
4. magnificent adj. 华丽的, 高尚的, 宏伟的
5. seize v. 抓住, 逮住, 夺取
6. take for granted v. 认为理所当然
7. get in on v. 口参加, 加入
We need good manners
Do you remember the time when people were a litter nicer and gentler with each other? I certainly do. And I
feel that much of the world has somehow gotten away from that. Too often I see people rushing into elevators
without giving those inside a chance to get out first, or never saying “Thank you” when others hold the door ope for them. We get lazy. And in our laziness, we think that something, like a simple “Thank You”matter. But it can matter very much. The fact is that no matter how nicely we dress, or how beautifully we
decorate our homes, we can’t be truly elegant unless we have good manners because elegance and good manners
go always hand in hand. In fact, I think of the good manners as a sort of hidden beauty secret. Haven’t you noticed
that the kindest, most generous people seem to keep getting prettier? It’s funny how that happens. But it does.
Take the long-lost art of saying “Thank you” like wearing a little makeup or making sure your hair is neat. Getting
into the habit of saying “Thank you” can make you feel better about yourself. Good manners add to your image
while an angry face makes the best dressed person look ugly.
词汇注释：
1. decorate v. 装饰, 为...做室内装修
2. elegant adj. 文雅的, 雅致的
3. makeup n. 化妆品, 补充, 虚构

Hard Work Is Good for Health
Why is work good for health? It is because work keeps people busy, away from loneliness and solitude. Researches show that people feel unhappy, worried and solitary when they have nothing to do. Instead, the happiest are those who are busy. Many high achievers who love their careers feel that they are happiest when they are working hard. Work serves as a bridge between man and reality. By work, people come into contact with each other. By collective activity, they find friendship and warmth. This is helpful to health. The loss of work means
the loss of everything. It affects man spiritually and makes him liable to disease.
Besides, work gives one a sense of fulfillment and a sense of achievement. Work makes one feel his value
and status in society. When a writer finishes his writing or doctor successfully operates on a patient or a teacher sees his students grow, they are happy beyond words.
From the above we can come to the conclusion that the more you work, the happier and healthier you will be. Let us work hard and study well and live a happy and healthy life.

1. solitude n. 孤独
2. solitary adj. 孤独的
3. collective adj. 集体的

It isn’t only children that like such jokes. Grownups like such pranks, too.
Even the media occasionally try to deceive the public with a clever April Fool story. Some years ago, for example, a famous joke was played on the radio. A scientific correspondent reported that strange geological changes had resulted in weaker gravity in different parts of Britain. He asked listeners to jump up and down and
see if they could jump higher than they normally could. Many people did. The hundreds of calls the BBC received

Fool’s Day that day.
Making jokes only lasts until the noon of the day, the rule is rigid and everywhere acknowledged. Anyone
who tries to make a fool after midday is a bigger fool than he who has been fooled. The late trickster is instantly rebuffed, as a piece of poem goes:
April Fool’s gone and past.
You’re the biggest fool at last.
When April Fool’s Day comes again,
You’ll be the biggest fool then.

The Rainy Day
The day is cold, and dark, and dreary;
It rains, and the wind is never weary;
The vine still clings to the moldering wall,
But at every gust the dead leaves fall,
And the day is dark and dreary.
My life is cold and dark and dreary;
It rains and the wind is never weary;
My thoughts still cling to the moldering past,
But the hopes of youth fall thick in the blast,
And the days are dark and dreary.
Be still, sad heart! And cease repining;
Behind the clouds is the sun still shining;
Thy fate is the common fate of all,
Into each life some rain must fall,
Some days must be dark and dreary.
— Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

How long will it be before you find yourself famous? 眼球经济时代，速成“明星”究竟能红多久 “IN the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes.” US artist Andy Warhol made this famous statement in 1968. Back then, the only really famous people were pop stars and actors, political figures and war heroes – although things were changing. In just 30 years, his statement seems to have come true. Today there are countless individuals that go in and out of the media spotlight. The most common way that ordinary people today become famous is through reality shows. Both American Idol and Hunan TV’s have produced quite a few instant stars. The most famous person of this type is Scottish singer Susan Boyle, an out-of-work, plain-looking 48-year-old who came to international attention when she appeared on the reality TV program Britain’s Got Talent in April 2009. However, Boyle’s success was largely due to a video posted on YouTube.

If others show true talent or staying power, they may be awarded extra time to prove themselves worthy of media and public attention. But while Warhol emphasized the short-lived nature of modern fame, he also pointed out that fame is easier to get nowadays.

高一英语教学工作总结（范文） 导读：本文高一英语教学工作总结（范文），仅供参考，如果能帮助到您，欢迎点评和分享。 高一英语教学工作总结(篇一) 一、注意高一与初中的衔接过渡 高一新学期伊始，可以通过摸底了解学生大致水平，及时给学生弥补初中的缺漏知识。可利用上半学期的时间从语言、词汇、语法、句型等方面系统复习。要尽快使学生适应高中英语教学，具体做法是：培养学生课前预习、课后复习的良好学习习惯;坚持用英语授课，要求并鼓励学生用英语思考问题、回答问题;根据高考要求，从高一年开始就需要培养学生的阅读能力，教会学生一些阅读技巧，养成良好的阅读习惯;另外，课后要多与学生接触，尽快和学生熟悉。 二、高中英语教学要始终贯彻交际性原则，强化学生主体意识 “让游泳者到水中去。”这是交际语言教学理论的思想核心。贯彻交际性原则亦就是要把教学活化为实际: 1.建立“课前五分钟会话”，培养课堂交际氛围。如一进课堂老师说：“It’s nice to see you again./It’s fine today, isn’t?/How are you today?”星期一上课问：“Did you have a good time in the weekend?”学生会作出不同的回答，引出的对话，从而达到交际的目的。 2.适当让学生表演对话或课文内容。针对近期所学内容，布置学
生课后进行讨论排练，然后在课堂表演。 3.多鼓励，少批评。为了使学生更爱开口，在练习中，要重视运用鼓励性语言，不断强化学生参加交际的信心。 三、培养学生的自学能力 只有通过辅导学生掌握一套科学的学习方法，并培养学生的自学能力，才能使学生的学习积极性和主动性得以发挥。具体包括：培养学生的预习能力、各种方法掌握英语基本知识的能力、学生自己整理所学知识的能力。另外，自学能力的提高还得益于大量的独立的阅读，于是新学期开始就要要求学生人人必备一本英汉词典作为工具书，让学生勤查字典。 四、激发学生学习英语的兴趣 在教学中培养学生的学习兴趣，增强教学效果，才能避免在以后的学习中产生两极分化。具体做法是把语言教学与日常生活联系起来，上课可以结合时事、热点，给学生讲有关政治、历史、社会等各方面的新闻、幽默等。还可以通过开辟第二课堂，如举办讲故事、各类竞赛等。老师课后应当多和学生交流接触，了解学生的需要，适当和学生一起参加活动、体育运动。课后还可以布置学生听英语广播、看英语新闻，然后再到学校进行交流。 五、巩固教学效果发展学生智能 教学的一个根本目的，是要求学生学会独立思考、独立自学，最终成为一个能独立工作的合格人才。课内教学的双边活动是至关重要的，但由于学生多，时间少，而学生主动活动机会则不多。所以，课

英语背诵美文30篇 英文＋翻译 第一篇：Youth 青春 Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple1) knees; it is a matter of will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life. Youth means a temperamental2) predominance3) 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 deserting4) our ideals. Years may 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 or 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 is a wireless station: So long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and power from men and from the infinite5), so long are you young. When the aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism6) 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. [Annotation:] 1）supple adj. 柔软的 2）temperamental adj. 由气质引起的 3）predominance n. 优势 4) desert vt. 抛弃 5) the Infinite上帝 6) cynicism n. 玩世不恭 青春 青春不是年华，而是心境；青春不是桃面、丹唇、柔膝，而是深沉的意志、恢弘的想象、炙热的感情；青春是生命的深泉在涌动。
Two Views Of The River Now when I had mastered the language of this water and had come to know every trifling feature that bordered the great river as familiarly as I knew the letters of the alphabet, I had made a valuable acquisition. But I had lost something, too. I had lost something which could never be restored to me while I lived. All the grace, the beauty, the poetry had gone out of the majestic river! I still keep in mind a certain wonderful sunset which I witnessed when steamboating was new to me. A broad expanse of the river was turned to blood; in the middle distance the red hue brightened into gold, through which a solitary log came floating, black and conspicuous; in one place a long, slanting mark lay sparkling upon the water; in another the surface was broken by boiling, tumbling rings, that were as many-tinted as an opal; where the ruddy flush was faintest, was a smooth spot that was covered with graceful circles and radiating lines, ever so delicately traced; the shore on our left was densely wooded, and the somber shadow that fell from this forest was broken in one place by a long, ruffled trail that shone like silver; and high above the forest wall a clean-stemmed dead tree waved a single leafy bough that glowed like a flame in the unobstructed splendor that was flowing from the sun. There were graceful curves, reflected images, woody heights, soft distances; and over the whole scene, far and near, the dissolving lights drifted steadily, enriching it, every passing moment, with new marvels of coloring.

高中英语美文杂谈必备知识点：英语读写教程：晨读美文 We have bigger houses and smaller families; more conveniences, but less time; we have more degrees, but less sense; more knowledge, but less judgment; more experts, but more problems; more medicine, but less wellness. 我们的房子越来越大，家庭却越来越小；便利越来越多，时间却越来越不够用，我们拥有的学位越来越多，智慧却越来越贫乏；知识越来越多，判断力却越来越差；专家越来越多，问题也越来越多；药物越来越多，健康却越来越少。 In this crisis I think I may be pardoned if I do not address the House at any length today, and I hope that any of my friends and colleagues or former colleagues who are affected by the political reconstruction will make all allowances for any lack of ceremony with which it has been necessary to act. I say to the House as I said to Ministers who have joined this government, I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, sweat and tears. We have before us an ordeal of the most grievous kind. We have before us many, many months of struggle and suffering. You ask, what is our policy? I say it is to wage war by land, sea and air. War with all our might and with all the strength God has given us, and to wage war against a monstrous tyranny never surpassed in the dark and unpleasant catalogue of human crime. That is our policy. You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word. It is victory. Victory at all costs—victory in spite of all terrors—victory, however long and hard the road may be, for without victory there is no survival. Let that be realized. No survival for the British Empire, no survival for all that the British Empire has stood for, no survival for the urge, the impulse of the ages, that mankind shall move forward toward his goal. I take up my task in light heart and hope. I feel sure that our cause will not be suffered to fail among men. I feel entitled at this juncture, at this time, to claim the aid of all and to say, “Come then, let us go forward together with our united strength. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often, We’ve learned how to make a living, but not a life; We’ve added years to life, not life to years. 我们常常夸夸其谈，却很少付出爱心，且常常心中充满了仇恨；我们学会了如何谋生，却不知道如何生活，我们延长了生命的期限，而不是生活的期限。 We’ve been all the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbor; We’ve conquered outer space, but not inner space; We’ve done larger things, but not better things. 我们登上了月球并成功返回，却不能穿过街道去拜访新邻居；我们已经征服了太空，却征服不了自己的内心，我们的事业越来越大，但质量却没有提高。

双语美文诵读 Look Every Day Positively If your life feels like it is lacking the power that you want and the motivation that you need, sometimes all you have to do is shift your point of view. By training your thoughts to concentrate on the bright side of things, you are more likely to have the incentive to achieve your goals. You are less likely to be held back by negative ideas that might limit your performance. Your life can be enhanced, and your happiness enriched when you choose to change your perspective. Don’t leave your future to chance, or wait for things to get better mysteriously on their own. You must go in the direction of your hopes and aspirations. Begin to build your confidence, and work through problems rather than avoid them. Remember that power is not necessarily control over situations, but the ability to deal with whatever comes in your way. Always believe that good things are possible, and remember that mistakes can be lessons that lead to discoveries. Take your fear and transform into trust; learn to rise above anxiety and doubt. Turn your “worry hours” into “productive hours”. Take the energy that you have wasted and direct it toward every worthwhile effort that you can be involved in. You will see beautiful things happen when you allow yourself
