Wth the sweat of ther brow men have nourshed ts green leaves.Ther tears have mostened the earth about t. Wth ther blood they have watered ts roots. The seasons have come and passed, and the tree has grown and flourshed. And ts branches have spread far and hgh, and ever fresh shoots are burstng forth, and ever new leaves unfoldng to the lght. But they are all part of the one tree—the tree that was planted on the frst brthday of the human race.

By the same token, the everlastng nterdependence s actually an everlastng love.wsh could beleve there was somebody who would love me forever.

He had been left alone for scarcely two mnutes, and when we came back we found hm n hs armchar, peacefully gone to sleep-but forever."An mmeasurable loss has been sustaned both by the mltant proletarat of Europe and Amerca, and by hstorcal scence, n the death of ths man. The gap that has been left by the departure of ths mghty sprt wll soon enough make tself felt."Just as Darwn dscovered the law of development of organc nature, so Marx dscovered the law of development of human hstory: the smple fact, htherto concealed by an overgrowth of deology, that manknd must frst of all eat, drnk, have shelter and clothng, before t can pursue poltcs, scence, art, relgon, etc.; that therefore the producton of the mmedate materal means of subsstence and consequently the degree of economc development attaned by a gven people or durng a gven epoch form the foundaton upon whch the state nsttutons, the legal conceptons, art, and even the deas on relgon, of the people concerned have been evolved, and n the lght ofwhch they must, therefore, be explaned, nstead of vce versa, as had htherto been the case."But that s not all. Marx also dscovered the specal law of moton governng the present-day captalst mode of producton and the bourgeos socety that ths mode of producton has created. The dscovery of surplus value suddenly threw lght on the problem, n tryng to solve whch all prevous nvestgatons, of both bourgeos economsts and socalst crtcs, had been gropng n the dark."Two such dscoveres would be enough for one lfetme. Happy the man to whom t s granted to make even one such dscovery. But n every sngle feld whch Marx nvestgated -- and he nvestgated very many felds, none of them superfcally -- n every feld, even n that of mathematcs, he made ndependent dscoveres.4级晨读英语美文7At age 89, Mary Fasano graduated wth a bachelor s degree from the Extenson School last week and entered the hstory books as the oldest person to earn an undergraduate degree at Harvard. Followng s the speech she delvered -- "The Power of Knowledge" -- at the Extenson School dploma awardng ceremony:remember one nght a few years ago when my daughter was frantc wth worry. After my Harvard Extenson School classes, usually arrved at the bus staton near my home by 11 p.m., but on that nght was nowhere to be found. My daughter was nervous. t wasn t safe for a sngle woman to walk alone onthe streets at nght, especally one as defenseless as am: can slay a mugger wth my sharp wt, but m just too short to do any real physcal damage.That nght my daughter checked the bus staton, drove around the streets, and contacted some frends. But she couldn t fnd me -- untl she called my astronomy professor who told her that was on top of the Scence Center usng the telescope to gaze at the stars. Unaware of the tme, had gotten lost n the heavens and was only thnkng about the new thngs had learned that nght n class.Ths story llustrates a habt have developed over the years: lose track of the tme when t comes to learnng. How else do you explan a woman who began hgh school at age 71 and who s graduatng wth a bachelor s degree at 89? may have started late, but wll contnue to learn as long as am able because there s no greater feelng, n my opnon, than travelng to a faraway country as have and beng able to dentfy by sght the pantng of a famous artst, the statue of an obscure sculptor, the cathedral of an ancent archtect. have found that the world s a fnal exam that you can never be prepared enough for. So wll contnue to take classes and tell my story.Lately t seems that everyone s askng me, "Mary, what advce do you have for other students?" So whle have you all here, m gong to ease my burden of answerng you each ndvdually:f the sayng s true that wsdom comes wth age, you may safely assume that am one of the wsest people n ths hall and possbly at ths unversty today. So lsten to me when tell you ths: Knowledge s power.My studes were nterrupted when was n the 7th grade, back sometme around World War . loved school but was forced to leave t to care for my famly.was consgned to work n a Rhode sland cotton mll, where labored for many years. eventually marred and rased 5 chldren, 20 grandchldren, and 18 great-grandchldren. But all the whle felt nferor to those around me. knew was as smart as a college graduate. knew was capable of dong a job well -- had proved t by runnng a successful famly busness for decades that stll exsts. But wanted more. wanted to feel confdent when spoke and wanted people to respect my opnons.Does t surprse you to dscover how much you have n common wth an 89-year-old woman? know that many of you graduates today, whether you were born n 1907 or 1967, have faced smlar barrers to completng your studes and have sometmes felt nferor around those you work or socalze wth just because you ddn t have a degree.But am here today -- lke you are -- to prove that t can be done; that the power ganed by understandng and apprecatng the world around us can be obtaned by anyone regardless of socal status, personal challenges, or age. That belef s what has motvated me for the last 75 years to get ths degree. t s also the msson of the Harvard Extenson School. Wthout the support receved from ths school, mght not have graduated untl was 100 -- a phrase that many of you have probably used n jest.There are many students here who do not have the opportunty that do to speak ther mnds and have everybody lsten, whether they want to or not. But be assured, fellow graduates, that we are more smlar than you mght thnk. f you have treated educaton as your man goal, and not as a means to an end, then you, too, have probably been clamed as a mssng person once n your academc career, whether you were lost n the stars or the stacks of Wdener Lbrary.And you, too, know that the journey was worth t, and that the power of knowledge makes me the most formdable 89-year-old woman at the bus stop.4级晨读英语美文8f somebody tells you, " ll love you for ever," wll you beleve t?dont thnk theres any reason not to. we are ready to beleve such commtment at the moment, whatever change may happen afterwards.

梦想让我们勇往直前。

多数成功人士都是梦想家。

英语专业四级听写50篇前言听写在英语专业四级统考中占有15％的比重，是考试的重要组成部分。

说起听写，正在准备和已经参与过英语专业四级考试的同学会说：“我能明白听写的内容，可写的时候就是跟不上！”“短文大意我明白，可是有的语我不会写。

”这只反映出了问题的两个方面。

一是听写速度不够快。

二是词汇量不够或词汇掌握得不够准确。

这些无疑是影响听写成绩的重要因素。

但是，这些不是问题的所有。

在从事听写教学及听写问卷过程中，很容易发现学生失分的具体问题：（1）没听懂，没听好，听写速度跟不上，写出的内容断断续续不连贯，学生因此大量失分；（2）有的词汇没听懂，拼写不够准确，这导致听写失分；（3）时态错误导致失分；（4）单复数不准确导致失分；（5）没有注意断句或专有名词，句子开头单词或专有名词错误使用大小写导致失分；（6）没有注意原文冠词的使用，书写时漏掉冠词导致失分；（7）没有注意单数第三人称形式导致失分；（8）没有注意单数复数名词的形式导致失分。

上述问题的产生有的是缺少训练导致的，如书写速度跟不上。

有的则是语言基础较差导致的，如听力较差没有完全听懂或没有掌握好词汇。

而单复数、大小写、冠词漏写等则多是粗心大意导致的。

听写部分能提高吗？当然能！并且提高的空间很大。

笔者从事英语专业基础教学与研究，从一开始所带的教学班参与四级考试超过全国院校平均通过率28．2个百分点，超过全国专业外语院校平均通过率12．5个百分点开始，所带的教学班在全国英语专业④级统考中通过率始终ito％，平均成绩、优秀率始终名列前茅。

最近一次所带的教学班参与四级统考，又考出了很好的成绩，通过率超过全国院校平均水平26石个百分点，超过全国专业外语院校13．6个百分点，并且在十几个平行班中平均成绩是最高的，优秀人数也是最多的。

在四级考试中，听写一项的成绩也不例外，每次均位居第一，本项目满分15分，所带班级平均成绩可以达成14分。

是不是学生基础很好？登记表白，和平行班相比所带班级入学时并不存在什么特别优势。

Ways to reduce your headachesThe dynamic lifestyle people lead nowadays causes many reactions in our bodies and the one that is the most frequent of all is the headache. How many times have you come back from work and felt that your head is going to explode. Well there are several ways to reduce the frequency of headaches. And those are eating healthy through the day making sure your body is well hydrated, getting some exercise to eliminate the negative energy, and helping yourself for a short massage on your head.Hot water is beneficial. We all know that water is essential to our survival. We have probably all heard doctor say that drinking roughly 8 glasses is ideal. Warm water is particularly beneficial for digestion. Studies have shown that drinking cold water during or after a meal can harden the oil present in the consumed food. However if you replace the glass of cold water with warm, you can avoid this problem.Stay positive when facing difficulties. Everyone faces difficulties from time to time. Sometimes, the difficulties come from situations that are out of our control. And other times, our difficulties are a direct consequence of the decisions we make. In life, we cannot change events or their outcome. We can however choose the emotion and meaning we attach to them. We have to retrain ourselves to see the positive in even the most challenging times.Measuring pain level is difficult. Scientists have long known that pain’s intensity is difficult to measure, because people experience pain differently. The pain one person rates at 7 for example might be 4 to someone who is more tolerant of pain. These differences make it difficult to show how well new medicines to ease pain really work. The question is especially important because of the increasing misuse of painkilling drugs in some countries.US doctoral degrees may be losing their appeal for many people who seek higher education in the US. The common study period of 2 to 4 years is not enough. The highest level of education offered by American college or university is the doctoral degree. Doctoral degree programs have a path to a well-paying, meaningful career. A new study however finds that the number of people seeking phDs has decreased. Experts say the structure of the American higher education system could be the cause.Save the polar bearsPolar bears live on the ice. It is where they hunt, mate and raise their young. But a team of researchers has found that the animal’s ice habitat is warming up and shrinking faster than experts predicted it would. The researchers say that this change in the animal’s home territory is threatening their survival. Polar bears face a difficult future unless countries reduce air pollution.。

星星之火可以燎原四级英语作文Title: The Spark That Ignites a Prairie Fire.In the vastness of the prairie, a single spark, no bigger than a pinprick, falls unnoticed amidst the dry grass. It lies there, quiescent, waiting for a breeze tofan its flames. As the wind blows, the spark turns into a flicker, and soon, a small flame dances in the air. This is the beginning of a phenomenon that has fascinated humanity for centuries the potential of a tiny spark to transforminto a devastating fire.The prairie, with its vast expanse of dry grass, provides a prime setting for this transformation. The grass, deprived of moisture, is highly combustible, and the slightest spark can ignite it. As the flame consumes the grass, it grows stronger, feeding on the dry fuel. The fire spreads rapidly, consuming everything in its path, leavingin its wake a charred landscape.This metaphorical representation of a small spark igniting a prairie fire encapsulates the profound impact of individual actions. Just as a spark can transform into a devastating fire, so can a single individual's actions spark change in the world. Consider the revolutions that have been sparked by the courage and determination of a few individuals. Their actions, initially small and seemingly insignificant, grew into movements that shook the foundations of nations and改写后的句子，altered the course of history.The power of individual action is not limited to grand revolutions. It can manifest in smaller, yet significant ways. A single teacher's dedication to education caninspire a generation of students. A scientist's perseverance in research can lead to groundbreaking discoveries. An artist's creativity can inspire others to express their inner selves. These actions, though small in scale, have the potential to kindle a spark that ignites a larger movement.Moreover, the impact of individual actions is notconfined to the present. They echo through the ages, shaping the future. A single act of kindness can inspire a chain reaction of goodwill,温暖他人心灵， creating a more compassionate society. A single decision to protect the environment can spark a movement that leads to sustainable development and a healthier planet.However, the potential for individual actions to spark change also carries a responsibility. Our actions, whether big or small, have consequences. A thoughtless action can cause harm, while a conscious choice can bring about positive transformation. Therefore, we must be mindful of our actions and their potential to ignite change.In conclusion, the spark that ignites a prairie fire serves as a powerful metaphor for the impact of individual actions. Just as a small spark can transform into a devastating fire, so can a single individual's actions spark significant change in the world. We must recognize the power of our actions and use them to create a positive impact, kindling sparks that ignite movements of good in the world.。

If you are feeling down, e_ercise may help pick you up. Although researchersdisagree on this issue , one review of past studies found that long-term e_ercise, especially when it includes long-lasting, strenuous training sessions, has about as much of an effect on depression as psychotherapy.Working out helps you deal with stress in your job, relationships or any area of life —possibly because e_ercise is a form of stress itself and helps condition your body to deal with it.When Australian researchers compared people who did 30 minutes of aerobic e_ercise three times a week to those who practiced progressive rela_ation techniques, they found that the former group responded better to acute stress and had lower blood pressure. Even a little e_ercise can make you think less an_iously. Studies have shown that any amount of e_ercise, from abrisk_ minute walk to an intense aerobics or weightlifting session seems to decrease feelings of an_iety.Working out regularly may make you smarter now and lessen the possibility that you’ll lose brain function as you age. According to a recent animal study at the University of Illinois, e_ercise can actually help the brain develop new cells. In several studies, regular weight training or aerobic e_ercise was shown to improvethe quality and duration of sleep. Naturally, this can make you less fatigued and be able to function better during the day. Like meditation, hobbies or any other leisure activity, e_ercise gives your mind a needed break from everyday thoughts, responsibilities and commitments. Finally, there’s one more reason to keep e_ercising. When you work out regularly,your body simply functions better you are better, healthier and less likely to suffer painful physical conditions. And that just plain feels good. mental[ ment?l]adj. 精神的;脑力的;疯的n. 精神病患者1.
