Tell Me The Truth About Love
Some say that love's a little boy, And some say it's bird. Some say it makes the world go round, And some say that's absurd, And when I asked the man
next-door, Who looked as if he knew, His wife got very cross indeed, And said it wouldn't do. Does it look a pair of pyjamas, Or the ham in a temperance hotel? Does its odor remind one of llamas, Or has it a comforting smell? Is it sharp or quite smooth at the edges? Oh tell me the truth about love. When it comes, will it come without warning Just as I'm picking my nose? Will its knock on my door in the morning, Or tread in the bus on my toes? Will it come like a change in the weather? Will it greeting be courteous or rough? Will it alter my life altogether? Oh tell me the truth about love.
Think I Can
If you think you are beaten, you are;
If you think you dare not, you don't;
If you want to win but think you can't;
It's almost a cinch you won't.
If you think you'll lose, you're lost;
For out of the world we find
Success begins with a fellow's will;
It's all in a state of mind.
Life's battles don't always go
To the stronger and faster man,
But sooner or later the man who wins
Is the man who thinks he can.
I AM
I am
only one
but still I'm one
I can not do everything
but still I can do something
I will not refuse to do that something I can do Yesterday once more
Thank you for the music, the songs I’m singing Thanks for all the joy they’re bringing
Who can live without it, I ask in all honestly
What would life be?
Without a song or a dance, what are we?
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me
Mother says I was a dancer before I could walk
She says I began to sing long before I could talk
And I’ve often wondered, how did it all start?
Who found out that nothing can capture a heart
Like a melody can?
Well, whoever it was, I’m a fan
I’ve be so lucky, I am the girl with golden hair
I wanna sing it to everybody
What a joy, what a life, what a chance
The Sound of Music
The hills are alive with the sound of music,
With songs they have sung for a thousand years.
The hills fill my heart with the sound of music
My heart wants to sing every thing every song it hears. My heart wants to beat
Like the wings of the birds that rise
From the lake to the trees.
My heart wants to sigh like a chime that flies
From a church on a breeze
To laugh like a brook when it trips
And falls over stones on its way.
To sing through the night
Like a lake who is learning to pray.
I go to the hills when my heat is lonely.
I know I will hear what I've heard before.
My heart will be blessed with the sound of music,
And I'll sing once more.
And Now You're Mine
And now you are mine.
Rest with your dream in my dream.
Love and pain and work should all sleep now.
The night turns on its invisible wheels,
And you are pure beside me as a sleeping amber.
No one else, love, will sleep in my dreams.
You will go, we will go together,
over the waters of time.
No one else will travel through the shadows with me. Only you, Evergreen, Ever sun, Ever moon.
Your hands have already opened their delicate fists And let their soft drifting sorrows drop away.
Your eyes close like two great wings, and I move. After, following the folding water
that you carry, that carries me away.
The night, the world, the wind spin out their destiny. Without you, I am your dream, only that, and that is all.
A Psalm of Life 人生礼颂
Herry Wadsworth Longfellow/享利.沃兹渥斯.朗费罗
Tell me not in mournful numbers, 请别用哀伤的诗句对我讲；
Life is but an empty dream!人生呵，无非是虚梦一场！
For the soul is dead that slumbers 因为沉睡的灵魂如死一般，
And things are not what they seem. 事物的表里并不一样。
Life is real! Life is earnest!人生是实在的！人生是热烈的！
And the grave is not its goal;人生的目标决不是坟墓；
Dust thou art , to dust returnest,你是尘土，应归于尘土。
Was not spoken of the soul.此话指的并不是我们的精神。
Not enjoyment , and not sorrow, 我们的归宿并不是快乐，
Is our destined and our way;也不是悲伤，
But to act, 实干
That much to-morrow.才是我们的道路，
Find us farther than to-day.每天不断前进，蒸蒸蒸日上。
Art is long , and time is fleeting. 光阴易逝，而艺海无涯，
And our hearts , though stout and brave. 我们的心哪——虽然勇敢坚强，Still , like muffled drums , are beating却像被布蒙住的铜鼓，
Funeral marches to the grave。常把殡葬的哀乐擂响。
In the world’s broad field of battle,在这人生的宿营地，
In the bivouac of Life,在这辽阔的世界战场，
Be not like dumb,driven cattle!别做无言的牲畜任人驱赶，
Be a hero in the strife!做一名英雄汉立马横枪！
Trust no future.howe’er pleasant!别相信未来，哪怕未来多么欢乐！
Let the dead Past bury its dead!让死去的往昔将死亡一切埋葬！
Act,act in the living Present!上帝在上，我们胸怀勇气，
Let us,then,be up and doing,让我们起来干吧，
With a heart for any fate;下定决心，不管遭遇怎样；
Still achieving,still pursuing不断胜利，不断追求，
Learn to labour and to wait.要学会苦干和耐心等待。
Lake of Autumn
I remember quite clearly now when the story happened.
The autumn leaves were floating in measure down to the ground, recovering the lake, where we used to swim like children, under the sun was there to shine. That time we used to be happy. Well, I thought we were.
But the truth was that you had been longing to leave me; not daring to tell me. On that precious night, watching the lake, vaguely conscious, you said, “Our story is ending.”
The rain was killing the last days of summer, you had been killing my last breath of love since a long time ago. I still don’t think I’m goanna make it through another love story. You took it all away from me.
And there I stand; I know I was going to be the one left behind.
But still I am watching the lake, vaguely conscious, and I know my life is ending.
If the Dream is Big Enough(I)---为了心中的梦想(一)
I used to watch her from my kitchen widow, she seemed so small as she muscled her way through the crowd of boys on the playground.
The school was across the street from our home and I would often watch the
kids as they played during recess.
A sea of children, and yet tome, she stood out from them all.
I remember the first day I saw her playing basketball. I watched in wonder as she ran circles around the other kids.
She managed to shoot jump shots just over their heads and into the net.
The boys always tried to stop her but no one could.
I began to notice her at other times, basketball in hand, playing alone,
She would practice dribbling and shooting over and over again, sometimes until dark.
One day I asked her why she practiced so much. She looked directly in my eyes and without a moment of hesitation she said,
“I want to go to college. The only way I can go is if I get a scholarship.
I like basketball. i decided that if I were good enough, I would get a scholarship.
I am going to play college basketball.
I want to be the best. My Daddy told me if the dream is big enough, the facts don't count.”
Then she smiled and ran towards the court to recap the routine I had seen over and over again.
Well, I had to give it to her - she was determined I watched her through those junior high years and into high school.
Every week, she led her varsity team to victory.
If the Dream is Big Enough(II)---为了心中的梦想(二)
One day in her senior year, I saw her sitting in the grass, head cradled in her arms.
I walked across the street and sat down in the cool grass beside her. Quietly I asked what was wrong.
"Oh, nothing." Came a soft reply. "I am just too short."
The coach told her that at 5'5 she would probably never get to play for a top ranked team much less offered a scholarship - so she should stop dreaming about college.
She was heartbroken and I felt my own throat tighten as I sensed her disappointment.
I asked her if she had talked to her dad about it yet.
She lifted her head from her hands and told me that her father said those coaches were wrong.
They just did not understand the power of a dream. He told her that if she really wanted to play for a good college, if she truly wanted a scholarship.
That nothing could stop her except one thing-her own attitude.
He told her again, "If the dream is big enough, the facts don't count."
The next year, as she and her team went to the Northern California Championship game, she was seen by a college recruiter.
She was indeed of freed a scholarship, a full ride, to a Division I, NCAA women's basketball team.
She was going to get the college education that she had dreamed of and worked toward for all those years.
It's true: If the dream is big enough, the facts don't count.
You Are Wonderful
The following true story captured our hearts.It happened several years ago in the Paris opera house.A famous singer had been cantracted to sing,and ticket sales were booming.In fact,the night of the concert found the house packed and every ticket sold.The feeling of anticipation and excitement was in the air as the house manager took the stage and said,"Ladies and gentlemen ,thank you for your enthusiastic support.I'm afraid that due to illness,the man whom you've all come to to hear will not be performing tonight.However,we have found a suitable substitude we hope will provide you with comparable entertainment."The crowd groaned in disappointment and failed to hear the announcer mention the stand-in's name .The environment turned from excitement to frustration.
The stand-in performer gave the peiformance everything he had. When he had finished,there was nothing but an uncomfortable silence. No one applauded.Suddenly,from the balcony,a little boy stood up and shouted,"Daddy,I think you are wonderful!"The crowd broke into thunderous applause.
We all need people in our lives who are willing to stand up once in a while and say,"I think you are wonderful."
Don’t Quit, Keep Playin g
Wishing to encourage her young son’s progress on the piano, a mother took her boy to a Paderewski concert. After they were seated, the mother spotted a friend in the audience and walked down the aisle to greet her.
Seizing the opportunity to explore the wonders of the concert hall, the little boy
rose and eventually explored his way through a door marked “NO ADMITTANCE.” When the house lights dimmed and the concert was about to begin, the mother returned to her seat and discovered that the child was missing.
Suddenly, the curtains parted and spotlights focused on the impressive Steinway on stage. In horror, the mother saw her little boy sitting at the key- board, innocently picking out Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star.
At that moment, the great piano master made his entrance, quickly moved to the piano, and whispered in the boy’s ear, “Don’t quit. Keep playing.”
Then leaning over, Paderewski reached down with his left hand and began filling in a bass part. Soon his right arm reached around to the other side of the child and he added a running obbligato. Together, the old master and the young novice transformed a frightening situation into a wonderfully creative experience. The audience was mesmerized.
That’s the way it is in life. What we can accomplish on our own is hardly noteworthy. We try our best, but the results aren’t exactly graceful flowing music. But when we trust in t he hands of a Greater Power, our life’s work truly can be beautiful.
Next time you set out to accomplish great feats, listen carefully. You can hear the voice of the Master, whispering in your ear, “Don’t quit. Keep playing.”

Legal advice
Marshaller Pormer was a young lawyer.
One day a neighbour entered his office, and asked, "What can I do if another man's dog entered my yard and killed one of my chickens?"
Mr. Pormer replied ,"That the damage done could be clacked from the owner of the dog."
"Well,"said the man,"Since it was your dog, you might pay me the worth of chicken about one dollar, Mr Pormer."
Mr. Pormer smiled as he handed the man his the amount named, and said,"Now then,as I have paid all that I owe you,don't you think it's only fair if you set off the matter a little bit you owe me?"
"But..." protested the neighbour,"I don't owe you a penny!"
"Ah..." smiled Mr pormer, "Don't you? Can you pay me five dollars for the legal advice which I gave you concerning the loss of your chicken?"

The Story of a Fire
Thirteen years have passed since, but it is all to me as if it had happened yesterday, -- the clanging
of the fire-bells, the hoarse shouts of the firemen, the wild rush and terror of the streets; then the great hush that fell upon the crowd; the sea of upturned faces with the fire glow upon it; and there, against the background of black smoke that poured from roof and attic, the boy clinging to the narrow ledge so far up that it seemed humanly impossible that help could ever come.
But even then it was coming. Up from the street, while the crew of the truck-company were labouring with the heavy extension ladder that at its longest stretch was many feet too short, crept four men upon long slender poles with cross- bars, iron-hooked at the end. Standing in one window, they reached up and thrust the hook through the next one above, then mounted a storey higher. Again the crash of glass, and again the dizzy ascent. Straight up the wall they crept, looking like human flies on the ceiling, and clinging as close, never resting, reaching one recess only to set out for the next; nearer and nearer in the race for life, until but a single span separated the foremost from the boy. And now the iron hook fell at his feet, and the fireman stood upon the step with :the rescued lad in his arms, just as the pentup flame burst lurid from the attic window, reaching with impotent fury for its prey. The next moment the) were safe upon the great ladder waiting to receive them below.
Then such a shout went up ! Men fell on each other's necks, and cried and laughed at once. trangers slapped one another on the back with glistening faces, shook hands, and behaved generally like men gone suddenly mad. Women wept in the street. The driver of a car stalled in the crowd, who had stood through it all speechless, clutching the reins, whipped his horses into a gallop and drove away, yelling like a Comanche, to relieve his feelings. The boy and his rescuer were carried across the street without anyone knowing how. Policemen forgot their dignity and shouted with the rest. Fire, peril, terror, and loss were alike forgotten in the one touch of nature that makes the whole world kin.
Fireman John Binns was made captain of his crew, and the Bennett medal was pinned on his coat on the next parade day.
Y ears ago, I was taking an algebra class over the summer, and had a teacher who liked to reminisce about his past with funny stories. He relates that he had been a math teacher in the Air Force, where it was his duty to force sleepy young recruits to stay awake for an hour of math at 8:00 in the morning in a large, warm, dimly-lit auditorium. One day, he came into the auditorium and saw his class even sleepier and less attentive than usual. He realized that something drastic would have to be done.
Now this classroom was very old, and the blackboards, which had been nailed on to the walls with old black iron nails, had become loose over the years. As a result, these black nails jutted almost invisibly from the blackboard and this teacher kept banging his hands on them while erasing the board. He decided to put them to good use.
With enough of a flourish to guarantee the class's attention, he went to the front of the room, near one edge of the board. Then, clearing his throat, he drew a coathook right near one of the protruding nails. He proceeded to hang his coat and hat on the hook that he had drawn in chalk (really on the nail, of course). Then he went on to give that day's lecture. He told us that the entire class had their eyes to the front of the room throughout the lecture. He didn't know if they'd heard a single word he'd said, but at least they looked attentive.
At the end of the class, the lecturer would usually leave by a small door near the blackboards, while the class would leave through the large doors at the back of the hall. When class was over, he took his coat and hat, erased the coathook, and left through the small door--and was followed by the entire class, lining up to go past the blackboard to see how he'd done it.
Nails In The Fence
There once was a little boy who had a bad temper. His father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, he must hammer a nail into the back of the fence.
The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence. Over the next few weeks, as he learned to control his anger, the number of nails hammered daily gradually dwindled down. He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence.
Finally the day came when the boy didn…t lose his temp er at all. He told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper. The days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone.
The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence. He said, "Y ou have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same. When you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like this one. Y ou can put a knife in a man and draw it out. It won…t matter how many times you say I…m sorry, the wound is still there."
The little boy then understood how powerful his words were. He looked up at his father and said
"I hope you can forgive me father for the holes I put in you."
"Of course I can," said the father.

Touch Me
Touch Me is a soliloquy（独白）composed by Hank Miller, about the Vietnam （越南）Veterans（退伍军人） Memorial in Washington, D.C. also known as “The Wall”. This monument is one of the most visited sites in the city of Washington.
-----By Hank Miller
(California professional photographer, freelance writer, former Naval Aviator（海军飞行员）, and a Vietnam veteran)
Touch me. Don’t be afraid. I can’t hurt you. Go ahead and touch my smooth surface. Feel the cold, glass-like smoothness and the crevices(裂缝） and lines that make me what I am. Use both hands if you wish. We are more similar than you dare to believe.
Touch my face. Yes, I have a face like yours. It has weathered（饱经风霜的） the centuries as yours has the years. My face portrays my evolution. Yours, the birth and death of a generation. My face has aged like yours as we have endured together the testimony（证据） of earth elements.
I have eyes like yours. My inscriptions（碑铭） stare out at you as I search for the meaning of why we are here. I look into your eyes and see who you are. Who am I? I was formed millions of years past and now you see the results of my evolution.
I can feel your hands and the sweat from your palms flow into the countless combination of the letters that make me. I know you. I have known you since I was able to breathe in the air as my smoothness began to take shape and my color matured along with natural flaws. You have known me since the days when you came to take me from my mother.
You cannot hear me. I am static（静态的） and unmoving. But, I can hear your murmurs（低语） and your cries of pain and sadness. Your sons and daughters ask why? There are no answers. I am very old. I have seen everything and I am none the wiser for the pain and suffering and I have witnessed since I rose from the bowels of the earth. I have witnessed the conflict, the death, the civilizations, and the societies that have come before you. Yet I remain mystified about this day.
I feel sad yet alive with a purpose. I have come to know those who are now an integral part of the reason for my being here at this place and time. That purpose has become apparent as I stand before you on this day while your brethren （同胞）gather to witness my reflections and the changes of light that mirror your soul.
I am a reflection of you…
I am all of you…
I am your spirit..
I am The Wall.
HOME What makes a home ? Love and sympathy and confidence .It is a place where kindly affections exist among all the members of the family .The parents take good care of their children ,and the children are interested in the activities of their parents .Thus all of them are bound together by affection , and they find their home to be the cheeriest place in the world . A home without love is no more a home than a body without a soul is a man .Every civilized person is a social being .No one should live alone .A man may lead a successful and prosperous life ,but prosperity alone can by no means insure happiness .Many great personages in the world history had deep affections for their homes . Your home may be poor and humble ,but duty lies there .You should try to make it cheerful and comfortable .The great the difficulties ,the richer will be your reward . A home is more than a family dwelling .It is a school in which people are trained for citizenship .A man will not render good services to his country if he can do nothing good for his home ;for in proportion as he loves his home ,will he love his country .The home is the birthplace of true patriotism .It is the secret of social welfare and national greatness .It is the basis and origin of civilization . Women’s Tears I gave her a hardness that allows her to keep going when everyone else gives up ,and take care of her family through sickness and fatigue without complaining . I gave her wisdom to know that a good husband never hurt his wife ,but sometimes tests her strengths and her resolve to stand beside him unfalteringly . You see : the beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears ,the figure that she carries ,or the way she combs her hair . The beauty of a woman must be seen in her eyes ,because that is the doorway to her heart the place where love resides . When at some moment I lose the memory or the thread of our conversation…let me have the necessary time to remember …and if I cannot do it ,do not become nervous …as the most important thing is not my conversation but surely to be with you and to have you listening to me . Mother “M” is for the million things she gave me , “O” means only that she’s growing old , “T” is for the tears she shed to save me , “H” is for her heart of purest gold , “E” is for her eyes ,with the love-light shining, “R” means right ,and right she’ll always be . Put them all together ,they spell “MOTHER”, A world that means the world to me . A mother ‘s love is like a circle ,it has no beginning and ending .It keeps going around ever expanding ,touching everyone who comes in touch with it .Engulfing them like the morning’s mist ,warming them like noontimes sun ,and covering them like a blanket of evening stars .A mother’s love is like a circle ,it has no beginning and ending .

终南①望余雪 唐·祖咏 终南阴岭秀， 积雪浮云端。 林表②明霁色③， 城中增暮寒。 【作者介绍】 祖咏（669—746？），洛阳人。仕途落拓，后归隐汝水一带。他的诗以描写山水为主，辞意清新，文字洗炼。 【注释】 ①、终南：山名，在长安（今陕西省西安市）南面。 ②、林表：树林外层与近空处均称林表。 ③、霁色：雨雪止歇。 【语译】 终南山的北岭啊分外地秀，峰顶的积雪啊在云端里浮。山林的上空啊天色已放明，长安城里的人家啊饮食感觉晚来天变寒。 【赏析】 据《唐诗纪事》卷二十记载，这首诗是祖咏在长安应试时作的。按照规定，应该作成五首六韵（十二句），但他只写了这四句就交卷。有人问他为什么，他说：“意尽。” 此诗写的是作者从长安遥望终南馀雪的情景。诗人描写了终南山的余雪，远望积雪，长安城也增添了寒意。这诗精练含蓄，别有新意。 清朝诗人王士稹在《渔洋诗话》卷里，把这首诗和陶潜的“倾耳无希声，在目皓已洁”、王维的“洒空深巷静，积素广庭宽”等并列，称为咏雪的“最佳”作。 【链接】 积累描写雪的诗句： 1、忽如一夜春风来，千树万树梨花开。——岑参《白雪歌送武判官归京》 2、孤舟蓑笠翁，独钓寒江雪。——《江雪》柳宗元 3、窗含西岭千秋雪，门泊东吴万里船。——杜甫《绝句》 4、千里黄云白日曛，北风吹雁雪纷纷。——《别董大》高适

中学生必备晨读美文 坐对一山青 郭枫 我真愿永远这样静静地坐着。静静地、静静地,坐对一山青。 坐对一山青,把心灵开放,向着一个绝俗的世界,真美。采集风景的人们到哪去了?竟把这片宁静的山水,独留给我。这样最好,在冥坐中,我才能摄得两眼盈盈的波光,两眼青青的山色!说也奇怪,为什么人们都媚惑于一潭明艳,却无视这满山青翠呢?是因为这座山过于拙朴?还是因为人心多窍?我,愿望只有一个:我爱这座山。我不是没有见过那些耸峙的高峰的,匍訇在千仞绝壁之下,人啊:便挣扎在无望的卑微里。因此,我爱这座山,爱就爱这份平凡。它安稳地矗立在水之湄,不以巍峨震慑我,不以奇奥炫惑我,在金色的阳光下,却自有一份庄严在。九月的阳步,像一脉透明的灵泉,把长空洗得好蓝好辽阔。满山林木,也浓着阳光的爽,绿得纯净、绿得年轻、绿得好耀眼!在无边无际的亮蓝上抹下一大丛浓绿,除了自然,任谁的彩笔也无法把风景画得这么令人惊心!啊!这不像是九月,要不,我得中说秋天仍是生命的季节。看这座山吧,每一片林子,每一块绿坡,甚至每一张高举的叶片上,都展示着最放纵的生命。不必解释也不能解释,我只能喃喃地独语:这是神! 坐对一山青,把心灵开放,向着一个绝俗的世界,真美。可是,别以为这么容易就认识了山,山有一千个面貌,每个面貌都含蕴着奇异的风采。看啊,不知道什么时候,山岚已悄然升起,空濛濛的一片白,才涨上了山腰忽而又沿着山脊流淌向幽谷,俏丽的丝丝缕缕,若有若无地牵连着,徜徉在峰巅林梢。可不是么?雾掩云遮,风情千种,这座山一下子就妩媚得像三月的新娘，让人怎么也难相信,它本来拙朴的样子,也有如此细腻的情韵?但是,对这突如其来的景象,且别迷离!烟云的浓浓淡淡且别管,阳光的明明暗暗且别管,峦峰的隐隐现现且别管,在这织梦的时刻,我知道,我需要的是一份醉意的朦胧。沉醉吧!沉醉吧!在纯然的沉醉中,才能撷一束山之梦。 坐对一山青,把心灵开放,向着一个绝俗的世界,真美。整整一个下午,我就这么静对着山,山也静对着我。我心如镜,映山的影子在我的光心;山谷空灵,寄我的遐思如云。我的遐思如云而如云的遐思并非幻梦,山,热情着哪!一山的清韵饮我，一山的秀色餐我；要说幸福有许多种,就是再细的心也分析不清我的满足。我陶然熏然终至于瞑然，像一个入定的老僧，垂下眼帘,恍惚中,我满心都是山。 坐对一山青,把心灵开放,向着一个绝俗的世界,真美。是的,得打开窗子,让心灵开放。我要是不开放我的,山怎会开放山的?我要是不认识我,我怎会认识山?以前,我曾有过山居的岁月,也曾有过寻山的旋游;那些立在记忆中的山峦们,峥嵘雄伟,深邃幽秘;我惊奇,我赞叹,可是,却从来没能让我的心灵激动得有这种惊悸的喜悦!唉!喜悦不要多,一粒喜悦的种子就能结出满树的回忆;山不需高,回灵性的了悟就能耐人终生追寻别说时间短暂,短暂里也有永恒。淡紫的暮色掩来了,大地将要退隐于玄秘的幽光里,一切美的或是不美的,都变形、收缩、模糊。但,今晚,虽黝黑如荒古,我也能看见这座山做然挺立——它在我的生命里已铸下永恒的像。 山之外还有山,我知道。山山不同,我就爱这一座。多美啊!向着一个绝俗的世界,把心灵开放,坐对一山青。
“经典诵读”校本课程开发与实施案例 一、问题的提出 事件：节目《齐鲁青未了》获奖一事，具体阐述。 中华文化博大精深，尤其是中国经典古诗文文语言精炼优雅，意蕴深刻，境界动人，不仅蕴涵在崇高的人文关怀和深刻的理性之美，更沉积着中华民族不灭的精魂。经典诗文是中华民族文化的重要载体，是爱国主义教育的不朽教材，是中华民族悠久文化的瑰宝，也是是孩子们从小了解民族文化传统、接受优秀文化熏陶的途径。当今社会，文化快餐盛行，社会普遍阅读力下降，网络文化充斥。很多家庭也忽视了对孩子优秀品质的教育；很多学校也没有引起足够的重视，而来自社会方面的影响更见复杂、紊乱，甚至负面的、恶劣的影响越来越多。 近年来，传统文化思想越来越受到人们的重视。很多教育者都感受到了普及传统经典文化的必要性和重要性。传统经典魅力无穷，能够在向上、向正、向深等方面影响人的心灵和思想，而且这种影响不但是良性的，而且是深刻的，是久远的，是根本性的。台湾国学经典大师王财贵教授也曾说道：“四书五经也好，老子庄子也好，古文诗词也好，常讽咏、朗读，可以怡悦性情，涵养气质，增进语文能力。有什么比这种教育更有价值？ “童子以记诵为能，少壮以学识为本，老成以德业为重。”据研究，十三岁以前的儿童是记忆力黄金时期，此时期作诵读训练，无论对加强学生的优秀传统文化教育，继承和发扬传统文化中健康的道德
精神和积极的人生信念、陶冶情操、提高文化品格，还是开发记忆力，打好语言文字基础，扩展知识视野，提高学习效率，为孩子的日后成长都有十分积极的意义。 《国家中长期教育改革和发展规划纲要（2010-2020年）》中提出了“加强中华民族优秀文化传统教育和革命传统教育”的战略主题。《全日制义务教育语文课程标准》（2011版）也指出了语文课程对继承和弘扬中华民族优秀文化传统和革命传统，增强民族文化认同感，增强民族文化认同感，增强民族凝聚力和创造力，具有不可替代的优势。并要求学生背诵古今优秀诗文160篇（段），1～6年级仅推荐75篇，其余的篇（段）可以由校本教材开发者和任课教师补充推荐。 二、课程的开发与实施 针对上述情况，我校认识到开发经典诵读校本课程的必要性和可行性，主要做了如下工作： 首先，开发校本教材。为了保证经典诵读的质量，让学生领略最优秀的文化，体现循序渐进，逐步提升的原则，我校专门组织一部分有深厚的文化底蕴和开放的教育心态的骨干教师，开发了一套经典诵读的电子教材，每学期上下两册，六个年级共12册，每册平均50首（篇）。内容包括中国古典诗词，现当代经典诗歌，《诗经》《论语》《弟子规》《三字经》等适合儿童诵读的国学经典。形式上以幻灯片的方式演示，配以与诗文内容相关的图片、作者简介、诗文注释或者诗文的音频、视频资源，内容丰富，形式活泼，情境性强，非常实用。
【晨读英语美文100篇】晨读英语美文中英对照版英语晨读365 116 Virtue 美德 Sweet day,so cool,so calm,so bright! 甜美的白昼，如此凉爽、安宁、明媚！ The bridal of the earth and sky- 天地间完美的匹配----- The dew shall weep thy fall to-night; 今宵的露珠儿将为你的消逝而落泪； For thou must die. 因为你必须离去。 Sweet rose,whose hue angry and brave, 美丽的玫瑰，色泽红润艳丽， Bids the rash gazer wipe his eye, 令匆匆而过的人拭目而视，Thy root is ever in its grave, 你的根永远扎在坟墓里， And thou must die. 而你必须消逝。 Sweet spring,full of sweet days and roses, 美妙的春天，充满了美好的日子和芳香的玫瑰， A box where sweets compacted lie, 如一支芬芳满溢的盒子， My music shows ye have your closes, 我的音乐表明你们也有终止， And all must die, 万物都得消逝。 Only a sweet and virtuous soul, 唯有美好而正直的心灵， Like season'd timber,never gives; 犹如干燥备用的木料，永
不走样； But though the whole world turn to coal, 纵然整个世界变为灰烬， Then chiefly lives. 它依然流光溢彩。 英语晨读365 115 Equipment 装备 Figure it out for yourself, my lad. You have got all that the great have had: two arms, two legs, two hands, two eyes, and a brain to use if you'd be wise. With this equipment they all began, so start for the top and say" I can". Look them over the wise and the great. They take their food from a common plate. With similar knives and forks they use; with similar laces they tie their shoes. The world considers them brave and smart, but you know--- you have got all they had when they made their start. You can triumph and come to skill; you can be great if you only will. You are well equipped for the fight you choose you have arms and legs and brains to use. And people who have risen, great deeds to do started their lives with no more than you. You are the handicap you must face. You are the one who must choose your place. You must say where you want to go, and how much you will study the truth to know. God has equipped you for life, but he lets you decide what you want to be.
适合朗诵的文章20篇 适合朗诵的文章（一）： 人生就是一场旅行 人生就像一场旅行，在乎的不是目的地和沿途的风景，而是看风景的心境。我很喜欢这段话，是的，每个人的人生之旅都是在自我的哭声中开始，在亲人的哭声中结束。哭，是人生共同的起点，也是共同的终点。然而，不一样的行程决定不一样的经历，不一样的风景决定不一样的心境，喜怒哀乐，贯穿了生命的旅程。人生的第一声啼哭，代表了什么？是对这个陌生世界的恐惧，还是为即将开始的人生之旅壮行？然而不管是坚定还是迷茫，是跃跃欲试还是踯躅不前，人生的发令枪一旦响起，我们就将踏上人生之旅，开始这场心灵的旅行。 孩提时代的童心是最宝贵的，它就象一颗晶莹璀璨的钻石，熠熠生辉，映射着人性圣洁的光芒。它又是一株一尘不染的冰山雪莲，纯洁无暇，未曾受过世俗的污染。童心看世界，世界自是蓝天白云，鸟语花香；稚眼观天下，天下无非屋后果园，房前池塘，最喜小儿无赖，溪头卧剥莲蓬；蓬头稚子学垂纶，侧卧青苔草映身；或持一木枪打仗，驰骋于原野，或牵一风筝迎风，翱翔于蓝天，毫无机心。天真烂漫是心灵最纯净的状态，青梅竹马，两小无猜是人生最纯真的感情。心灵在童年的记忆，是和小伙伴们过家家，是在山上摘野果，是在小河里打水仗，是在雪地里滑雪车；心灵在童年的感受，是童真童趣，是天
真无邪，是无忧无虑，是绿水清风。 人生的旅途，并不总是一马平川，旅途中的感受，也并不总是无限完美。如果童年是一株萌芽，能够尽情享受阳光雨露的恩宠，能够无拘无束的按自我的方式生长，那么它在成长的过程中，必将经历雨雪风霜，寒冬酷暑。仅有经过苦难的磨砺，岁月的打磨，树苗才能长成参天大树。同样，人生的旅途也将经历成长的烦恼，以往水晶般透明的心灵，也会有一些小小的心事，也会驻扎一些小小的烦恼，也会收藏一些小小的秘密，会为了学习成绩的不佳而懊恼，会为了篮球赛的失利而郁闷，会为邻班的那个女生而怦然心动，为了那张桌子里的纸条而心神不宁，少年不识愁滋味，为赋新词强说愁；在那段懵懂青涩的青葱岁月，在那段情窦初开的豆蔻年华，心境就象天上的云一样变幻莫测，偶尔会有暗暗的喜悦，偶尔会有淡淡的忧伤，偶尔是对未来的踌躇满志，偶尔是对生活的怅然迷茫。 如果青少年时代是人生中的春天，那么接下来就该迈入多姿多彩的夏天了。夏是多情的季节，是浪漫的季节，是热烈的季节，是奔放的季节，是孕育感情的季节，是感情之花绽放的季节。感情是人生旅途中最靓丽的风景，是两颗心灵碰撞的火花，是人世间一切情感的升华。月上柳梢头，人约黄昏后，体验初恋的甜蜜温馨；金风玉露一相逢，便胜却人间无数，领会着热恋的热烈缠绵；君住江之头，我住江之尾，日日思君不见君，共饮一江水，饱尝着感情的相思之苦；两情若在长久时，又岂在朝朝暮暮，表达着感情的坚贞不渝，千般滋味，万种风情，难以言表，欲语还休。
The road to success It is well that young men should begin at the beginning and occupy the most subordinate positions. Many of the leading businessmen of Pittsburgh had a serious responsibility thrust upon them at the very threshold of their business lives sweeping out of the office. I notice we have janitors and janitresses now in offices, and our young men unfortunately miss that salutary branch of business education. But if by chance the professional sweeper is absent any morning, the boy who has the genius of the future partner in him will not hesitate to try his hand at the broom. It does not hurt the newest comer to sweep out the office if necessary. I was one of those sweepers myself. Assuming that you have all obtained employment and are fairly started, my advice to you is “aim high”. I would not give a fig for the young man who does not already see himself the partner or the head of an important firm. Do not rest content for a moment in your thoughts as head clerk, or foreman, or general manager in any concern, no matter how extensive. Say to yourself, “my place is at the top”. Be king in your dreams. And there is the prime condition of success, the great secret: concentrate your energy, thought, and capital exclusively upon the business in which you are engaged. Having begun in one line, resolve to fight it out on the line, to lead in it, adopt every improvement, have the best machinery, and know the most about it. The concerns which fail are those which have scattered their capital, which means that they have scattered their brains also. They have investments in this, or that, or the other, here, there, and everywhere. “Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.” is all wrong. I tell you to “put all your eggs in one basket, and then watch that basket.” Look round you and take notice, men who do that not often fail. It is easy to watch and carry too many baskets that break most eggs in this country. He who carries three baskets must put one on his head, which is apt to tumble and trip him up. One fault of the American businessman is lack of concentration. To summarize what I have said: aim for the highest; never enter a bar room; do not touch liquor, or if at all only at meals; never speculate; never indorse beyond your surplus cash fund; make the firm’s interest yours; break orders always to save owners; concentrate; put all your eggs in one basket, and watch that basket; expenditure always within revenue; lastly, be not impatient, for as Emerson says, “no one can cheat you out of ultimate success but yourself.”
