A Walk In The Woods 林中漫步I was puzzled! Why was this old woman making such a fuss about an old copse which was of no use to anybody? She had written letters to the local paper, even to a national, protesting about a projected by-pass to her village, and, looking at a map, the route was nowhere near where she lived and it wasn't as if the area was attractive. I was more than puzzled, I was intrigued.The enquiry into the route of the new by-pass to the village was due to take place shortly, and I wanted to know what it was that motiv ated her. So it was that I found myself knocking on a cottage door, being received by Mary Smith and then being taken for a walk to the woods."I've always loved this place", she said, "it has a lot of memories for me, and for others. We all used it. They called it 'Lovers lane'. It's not much of a lane, and it doesn't go anywhere importan t, but that's why we all came here. To be away from people, to be by ourselves " she added.It was indeed pleasant that day and the songs of many birds could be heard. Squirrels gazed from the branches, quite bold in their movements, obviously few people passed this way and they had nothing to fear. I could imagine the noise of vehicles passing through these peaceful woods when the by-pass was built, so I felt that she probably had something there but as I hold strong opinions about the needs of the com munity over-riding the opinions of private individuals, I said nothing. The village was quite a dangerous place because of the traffic especially for old people and children, their safety was more important to me than an old woman's whims."Take this tree", she said pausing after a short while. "To you it is just that, a tree. Not unlike many others here". She gently touched the bark. "Look here, under this branch, what can you see?""It looks as if someone has done a bit of carving with a knife" I said after a cursory inspection."Yes, that's what it is!" she said softly. "There are letters and a lover's heart".I looked again, this time more carefully. The heart was still there and there was a suggestion of an arrow through it. The letters on one side were indi stinct, but on the other an 'R' was clearly visible with what looked like an 'I' after it. "Some budding romance?" I asked, "did you know who they were?""Oh yes, I knew them", said Mary Smith, "it says RH loves MS".I realised that I could be getting out of my depth, and longed to be in my office, away from here and this old lady, snug, and with a mug of tea in my hand.She went on …"He had a penknife with a spike for getting stones fro m a horse's hoof, and I helped him to carve my initials. We were very much in love, but he was going away, and could not tell me what he was involved in the army. I had guessed of course. It was the last evening we ever spent together，because he went away the next day, back to his Unit. "Mary Smith was quiet for a while, then she sobbed. "His mother showed me the telegram. 'Sergeant R Holmes ….. Killed in action in the 9)invasion of France'"."'I had hoped that you and Robin would one day get married" she said, "He was my only child, and I would have loved to be a Granny, they would have been such lovely babies'- she was like that! ""Two years later she too was dead. 'Pneumonia, following a chill on the chest' was what the doctor said, but I think it was an old fashioned broken heart. A child would have helped both of us."There was a further pause. Mary Smith gently caressed the wounded tree, just as she would have caressed him. "And now they want to take our tree away from me." Another quiet sob, then she turned to me. "I was young and pre tty then, I could have had anybody, I wasn't always the old woman you see here now. I had everything I wanted in life, a lovely man, health and a f uture to look forwards to".She paused again and looked around. The bre eze gently moved through the leaves with a sighing sound. "There were others, of course, but not a patch on my Robin!" she said strongly. "And now I have nothing - except the memories this tree holds. If only I could get my hands on that awful man who writes in the paper about the value of the road they are going to build where we are standing now, I would tell him. Has he never loved, has he never lived, does he not know anything about memories? We were not the only ones, you know, I still meet some who came here as Robin and I did. Yes, I would tell him!"I turned away, sick at heart.我实在不明白！为什么这个年老女士会对一片毫无用处的老灌木林如此紧张呢？她给当地报纸写了信，甚至给全国性的报纸也写了信，对拟将在她们村子里修建小路的方案表示抗议。

5 balls（英语学习）妈妈再严格还是妈妈，对吗？------------------------------------------Dad was going to be in charge. It happened a lot nowadays, because Kitty’s Mum’s new job meant that sometimes she had to work on Saturdays. Once they got used to it,Kitty and Daniel didn’t mind. They always had fun with Dad.This Saturday morning, Mum said, “There’s plenty of salad in the fridge for lunch, and I want you to eat it up.”The children groaned.“Rabbit food,” said Daniel.“I don’t want to eat silly, slimy salad,” said Kitty.“Can’t we have something else” they moaned.But Mum had become very keen on really healthy eating. She said, “It’s good for you all - but if you want something hot to go with it, Dad cancook you some rice. But remember, NO bis cuits. They’re bad for your teeth.”They groaned even more loudly. But Mum took no notice, and left.Dad said, “Better do as we’re told, kids.”Kitty stuck out her teeth, held two fingers above her head like ears and hopped around. “I’ll turn into a bunny if I eat any more lettuce, Dad!” she said.He laughed, and sent them out into the garden to play while he did the washing up.The morning passed quickly. Daniel and Kitty played hide-and-seek with William and Sally, the children next door, until heavy clouds made the sky dark.“It’s going to rain,” said Sally. “Come in for a snack.”Her mother gave them a plate of chocolate biscuits to share, and glasses of lemonade. Daniel winked at Kitty.As lunch-time came near they decided they should go home. It had stopped raining, but the air was damp and cold. “Lovely weather for salad,” Kitty groaned.They were surprised to see a strange man sitting at the kitchen table with Dad. They each had a glass of beer. Dad looked very pleased. He told the children this was a very old friend he hadn’t seen for years. The man, whose name was Bill, was big and jolly. He looked at his watch, “Well, if your lady-wife isn’t coming home, why don’t we all go down the road and get fish and chips”The children jumped up and down, screaming with delight, and clapping their hands.Dad looked at them, then at the fridge door, then at his watch. “We-ell...”“Oh, come on!” said Bill.“You’d better promise not to tell your Mum,” said Dad.“We won’t!” yelled Kitty.Twenty minutes later they were all walking down the road, munching(咀嚼) delicious fish and chips with their fingers. When they got back to the house Bill took cans of fizzy(嘶嘶作响的) drink from his pockets, which made a perfect end to the meal (使这顿饭有了一个完美的尾声). The children were sorry when he had to go.“Oh, dear,” said Dad, looking at empty cans on the kitchen table. “We’d better clear up. Mum will be back in half an hour.”When Mum’s key turned in the lock, Dad and Daniel were watching a film on television, and Kitty was wheeling Mr Tubs up and down the hall on her old baby tricycle.Mum kissed her. “Hello, love, have you had a lovely day”Kitty nodded. She started to feel a bit guilty.“And it wasn’t so bad to have salad for lunch, was it” asked Mum.Kitty looked at her and went red. It was no good. She couldn’t tell lies - that would be terrible. So she told Mum what had happened.“Aha-he did, did he” said Mum, folding her arms, a little smile showing at the corner of her mouth. She marched into the sitting room.“Well, was it good, having a salad of fish and chips” she asked standing in between Dad and the TV.Dad looked really guilty. He looked at Kitty, and she could almost hear him thinking, “But you promised you wouldn’t tell.”“Don’t be angry with me, Dad,” she said.At that, a big smile broke across Mum’s face. “Look at you all!” she said. “Like frightened rabbits! You have been eating too many greens. Well, I went to the market to get a special treat for tonight’s supper, and I met Bill - which was a lovely surprise. And he told me about your lunch.”“And you don’t mind” asked Dad.“Of course not. I’m not a witch, you know! Didn’t I say I’m making something you like for supper”“What is it, Mum” asked Kitty.“Fish and chips!” said Mum.“Oh, no!” they all groaned. And then they started to laugh.。

Breakthrough of Middle School English【心灵鸡汤】生活中的五个球几年前在某个大学的毕业典礼中，可口可乐的总裁Brian·Dyson说了一段有关工作与生活中其他事物间的关系的话。

想像生活是一个比赛，你必须同时丢接五个球，这五个球分别是工作、家庭、健康、朋友以及精神生活，而你不可让任何一个球落地。

你很快就会发现工作是一个橡皮球，如果它掉下来，它会再弹回去，而其他四个球：家庭、健康、朋友以及精神生活是玻璃制的，如果你让这四个球其中任何一个落下来，它们会磨损、受损甚至粉碎，而一旦落下，它们将不再和以前一样。

你必须知道并在生活中设法求得平衡，但要怎么做呢?不要认为你应该与其他人做比较，这只会降低了你原有的价值。

因为每个人都是独一无二的，因为每一个人都很特别的。

别人认为重要的事不是你该列为遵循的目标。

只有你才知道什么最适合你。

不要将贴近你的心的人、事、物视为理所当然的存在。

你必须将他们视为你的生命一般好好地抓牢他们。

没有他们，生命将失去意义。

别让你的生命总在依恋过去种种或是寄望未来中逝去，如果你活在每个当下，你就活出了生命中的每一天。

当你还能给予的时候别轻言放弃。

只要你不放弃，就有无限延伸的可能。

别害怕承认你并非完美。

正因如此，我们才得以藉由这脆弱的细丝紧密地串绑在一起。

别害怕遇到危险。

正因如此，我们才得以藉由这些机会学习勇敢。

不要说真爱难寻而将爱排除于你生活之外。

最迅速找到爱的方法就是散布你的爱；最快速失去爱的方法就是紧紧地将守着你的爱不放；维持爱最好方式就是给它自由。

不要匆忙的过着你的一生，那匆忙会让你忘了曾经到过哪里，也让你忘了你要去哪里。

不要忘记，心灵的详和是来自于感恩。

不要惧怕学习，知识是没有重量的，你永远可以轻易的带着它与你同行。

不要漫不经心地蹉跎光阴或口无遮拦。

时间与言词两者都是，一放便再也收不回来。

生命不是一场竞赛,而是一步一脚印的旅程。

昨天已是历史，明天尚是未知，而今天则是一个上天的恩赐：这就是我们为什么称之为PRESENT（现在）的原因。

magine life as a game in which you are juggling (耍弄)some five balls in the air.You name them work,family,health,friends and spirit and you’re keeping all of these in the air.You will soon under⁃stand that work is a rubber ball.If you drop it,it will bounce back.But the other four balls—family,health,friends and spirit are made of glass.If you drop one of these, they will be irrevocably(不可挽回地)scuffed(磨损), marked,nicked(划伤),damaged or even shattered (粉碎).They will never be the same.You must un⁃derstand that and strive for balance in your life.How?Don’t undermine(逐渐削弱)your worth by com⁃paring yourself with others.It is because we are dif⁃ferent and each of us is special.Don’t set your goals by what other people deem (认为)important.Only you know what is best for you.Don’t let your life slip through your fingers by liv⁃ing in the past or for the future.By living your life one day at a time,you live all the days of your life.Yesterday is history,Tomorrow is a mystery,and Today is a gift:that’s why we call it“The Present”.想象生命是一场不停丢掷五个球于空中的游戏。

01、The Warmth in Winter 冬日的温暧Winter gives us the opportunity to stay inside and look outside, as we’re not called outdoors to enjoy the warmth and sunshine. SnuggN1 up in the sofa, put a blanket over you, have a cup of hot cocoa, and enjoy the observations on this precious season...当我们没有出外享受温暖和阳光时，冬季为人们创造了一个待在室内，观察室外的机会。

铺条毯子在身上，卷曲在沙发上，喝着一杯热可可，享受着观察这个美丽季节的快乐。

Winter is the time for comfort, for good food and warmth, for the touch of a friendly hand and for a talk beside the fire: It is the time for home.冬季是一个享受舒适，美食与温馨的季节。

冬季也是传递友谊的季节，冬季还是围坐在火炉旁谈天说地的季节。

冬季是享受家之温暖的季节。

During the winter I am content, or try to think I am. There is a wonderful joy in leaving behind the noisy city streets and starting out along the white road that leads across the hills. With each breath of the sharp, reviving air one seems to inhale new life. A peace as evident as the sunshine on the fields takes possession of one’s inner being. The trivial cares are driven away by the first sweep of wind that comes straight from the mountains. The intense silence that broods over the snow-bound land is a conscious blessing from the nature.在冬季，我很满足，或自认为满足。

If the Dream is Big EnoughI used to watch her from my kitchen window, she seemed so small as she muscled her way through the crowd of boys on the playground. The school was across the street from my home and I would often watch the kids as they played during recess. A sea of children, and yet to me, she stood out from them.I remembered the first day I saw her playing basketbal. 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 beagan 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 dayI asked her why she practiced so much. She looked directly in my eyes and withouta 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 varisity team to victory.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 a scholarship, that nothing could stop her except one thing ─ her owen 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 offered a scholarship, a full ride, to a Division I, NCAA women’ s basketball team. She was going t o 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.我以前常常从厨房的窗户看到她穿梭于操场上的一群男孩子中间，她显得那么矮小。

It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.Don't shut love out of your life by saying it's impossible to find. The quickest way to receive love is to give; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly, and the best way to keep love is to give it wings.Don't run through life so fast that you forget not only where you'vebeen, but also where you are going.Don't forget, a person's greatest emotional need is to feel appreciated.Don't be afraid to learn.

Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, and today is gift…… that's why we call it the present.想象生命是一种往空中抛五个球的游戏，你把这五个球分别取名为：工作、家庭、朋友和心灵，而且你要努力不让它们落地。

描写球的形状英语作文Title: The Shape of a Sphere: A Descriptive Essay。

The sphere, a simple yet captivating shape, possesses a unique allure that has fascinated humanity for centuries. Its flawless symmetry and mathematical precision make it a subject of intrigue across various fields, from geometry to art and beyond. In this essay, we delve into the intricate beauty of the sphere, exploring its form, significance, and relevance in our world.First and foremost, let us consider the physical attributes of a sphere. Defined as a perfectly round geometrical object in three-dimensional space, the sphere boasts a surface where every point is equidistant from the center. This uniform distance gives rise to its characteristic symmetry, with no corners, edges, or irregularities to disrupt its smooth curvature. Picture a flawless marble or a perfectly round ball, and you have captured the essence of a sphere's shape.Moreover, the sphere's shape holds profound significance in the natural world. It is prevalent in celestial bodies, such as planets and stars, where gravitational forces mold matter into spherical forms. The Earth itself, despite minor deviations, approximates a sphere, symbolizing stability, harmony, and unity. Furthermore, droplets of water suspended in space adopt spherical shapes due to surface tension, illustrating the sphere's prevalence even at the microcosmic level.In addition to its physical manifestations, the sphere carries symbolic weight in human culture and imagination. Across diverse civilizations, it has represented concepts of completeness, wholeness, and infinity. Ancient philosophers revered the sphere as a symbol of the cosmos, reflecting the harmonious order of the universe.
