高中英语课外读物美文欣赏40篇(双语版)1《飞鸟集》精选1夏天的飞鸟，飞到我的窗前唱歌，又飞去了。

Stray birds of summer come to my window to sing and fly away.2 秋天的黄叶，它们没有什么可唱，只叹息一声，飞落在那里。

And yellow leaves of autumn， which have no songs， flutter and fall there with a sign.3世界对着它的爱人，把它浩翰的面具揭下了。

它变小了，小如一首歌，小如一回永恒的接吻The world puts off its mask of vastness to its lover. It becomes small as one song， as one kiss of the eternal.4是大地的泪点，使她的微笑保持着青春不谢。

It is the tears of the earth that keep her smiles in bloom.5无垠的沙漠热烈追求一叶绿草的爱，她摇摇头笑着飞开了。

The mighty desert is burning for the love of a blade of grass who shakes her head and laughs and flies away.6如果你因失去了太阳而流泪，那么你也将失去群星了。

If you shed tears when you miss the sun， you also miss the stars.7跳舞着的流水呀，在你途中的泥沙，要求你的歌声，你的流动呢。

你肯挟瘸足的泥沙而俱下么？The sands in your way beg for your song and your movement， dancing water. Will you carry the burden of their lameness？8她的热切的脸，如夜雨似的，搅扰着我的梦魂。

高中英语美文阅读与赏析YouthYouth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.Youth means a temperamental predominance 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 deserting 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 appetite for 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, courage and power from man and from the infinite, so long as you are young.When your aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you’ve grown old, even at 20; but as long as your aerials are up, to catch waves of optimism, there’s hope you may die young at 80.译文：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，恢宏的想象，炙热的恋情;青春是生命的深泉在涌流。

下面是店铺带来的高三课外英语美文，欢迎阅读!高三课外英语美文篇一One glass of milkOne day, a poor boy who was trying to pay his way through school by selling goods from door to door found that he had only one dime left. He was hungry so he decided to beg for a meal at the next house.However, he lost his nerve(勇气，神经) when a lovely young woman opened the door. Instead of a meal, he asked for a drink of water. She thought he looked hungry so she brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it slowly, and then asked, "How much do I owe you?""You don’t owe me anything," she replied, "Mother has taught me never to accept pay for a kindness." He said, "Then I thank you from the bottom of my heart." As Howard Kelly left that house, he not only felt stronger physically, but it also increased his faith in God and the human race. He was about to give up and quit before this point.Years later, the young woman became critically ill. The local doctors werebaffled(阻碍，迷惑) . They finally sent her to the big city, where specialists can be called in to study her rare disease. Dr. Howard Kelly, now famous was called in for theconsultation(咨询，磋商) . When he heard the name of the town she came from, a strange light filled his eyes. Immediately, he rose and went down through the hospital hall into her room.Dressed in his doctor’s gown he went in to see her. Herecognized her at once. He went back to the consultation room and determined to do his best to save her life. From that day, he gave special attention to her case.After a long struggle, the battle was won. Dr. Kelly requested the business office to pass the final bill to him for approval. He looked at it and then wrote something on the side. The bill was sent to her room. She was afraid to open it because she was positive that it would take the rest of her life to pay it off. Finally she looked, and the note on the side of the bill caught her attention. She read these words，"Paid in full with one glass of milk."Dr. Howard KellyTears of joy flooded her eyes as she prayed silently, "Thank You, God. Your love has spread through human hearts and hands."高三课外英语美文篇二PlantsPlants pursue a never-ending quest for nourishment(食物，营养品) of the liquid and solar variety. Clearly, the very essence of life. But what can our obsession(痴迷，困扰) with plants teach us about our own personal journeys?My aunts, mom and grandma always talk about their plants when they get together. They trade cuttings, smuggling them over state lines to propagate(繁殖，增殖) at home. They discuss their plants like children or pets. They share tips. Compare progress.We turn plants into sentimental(感伤的) objects as we do with books and art, but with plants it’s different because they’re alive. They grow and change. You see photographs of your former apartment, and there’s that peace lily(百合花) , half itspresent size. It’s like looking at old family pictures: “Look how little you used to be!” Plants have a history and a life. That’s why they’re so hard to give up, even when you don’t love them anymore, even when you don’t have room for them. What are you supposed to do, just let them die? Impossible.When I had to move everything out of my house recently, I realized there were more little plants than I was willing to find places for in my new cramped(狭窄的，难懂的) quarters. I thought, it’s silly to be sentimental about these plants. I can replace them later if I want. Yet I just couldn’t give up the succulent(多汁的，多水分的) I kept alive during my first year of teaching.It sat on top of a microwave, in a tiny, dark, cold office space that was really a storage closet with a window. During the times I thought I might lo se my mind, I watched the plant’s health. It refused to wither. It stood hardy and strong, and occasionally sprung a tender new leaf. Sometimes I would forget to water it or take it home during vacations, but it withstood this neglect and stubbornly(顽固地，倔强地) lived on. This buoyed(支撑，鼓励) my spirit more than chocolate or pats on the back.Our adopted foliage(植物，叶子) can serve as a sort of bellwether(前导，领导者) for our lives. Most of us have gone through periods where we let the phone ring, the dishes pile up, and the houseplants shrivel(枯萎，褶皱) . Eventually, the pile ofbrittle(易碎的，脆弱的) leaves collecting beneath the ficus(无花果属) forces us to assess the state of our lives.Of course, because we have sentimentalized our plants, it’s tempting to read their lives for clues to our own. Once, when a relationship was dying, my African violet exploded with unseasonable purple flowers. Maybe, I thought, there’s hope. There was—for the violet.My stepmom visits a particular hemlock(铁杉) in a park near her home every New Year’s D ay. She walks circles around its trunk, one hand on the bark, releasing regrets from the old year and planning for the new one. Her own history and life is now intertwined with the hemlock’s, as year after year, the tree receives her hopes and ushers(招待，引导) them forth with fresh oxygen. “Here you go,” it says. “Here’s some more life.”高三课外英语美文篇三I wish you were my little girlRecently, I heard a touching story which illustrates(阐明，说明) the power that words have to change a life -- a power that lies right in the hands of those reading this article. Mary had grown up knowing that she was different from the other kids, and she hated it. She was born with a cleft palate(腭裂) and had to bear the jokes andstares(凝视，注视) of cruel children who teased her non-stop about hermisshaped(畸形) lip, crooked(弯曲的，歪的) nose, and garbled(混乱的，篡改的)speech. With all the teasing, Mary grew up hating the fact that she was "different". She was convinced that no one, outside her family, could ever love her ... until she entered Mrs. Leonard's class.Mrs. Leonard had a warm smile, a round face, and shiny brown hair. While everyone in her class liked her, Mary came to love Mrs. Leonard. In the 1950's, it was common for teachers to give their children an annual hearing test. However, in Mary's case, in addition to her cleft palate, she was barely able to hear out of one ear. Determined not to let the other children have another "difference" to point out, she would cheat on the test each year. The "whisper test" was given by having a child walk to the classroom door, turn sideways, close one ear with a finger, and then repeat something which the teacher whispered. Maryturned her bad ear towards her teacher and pretended to cover her good ear. She knew that teachers would often say things like, "The sky is blue," or "What color are your shoes?" But not on that day. Surely, God put seven words in Mrs. Leonard's mouth that changed Mary's life forever. When the "Whisper test" came, Mary heard the words: "I wish you were my little girl."Dads, I wish there was some way that I could communicate to you the incredible blessing which affirming words impart to(告诉，透露) children. I wish, too, that you could sit in my office, when I counsel(劝告，建议) , and hear the terrible damage that individuals received from not hearing affirming words--particularly affirming words from a father. While words from a godly teacher can melt a heart, words from a father can powerfully set the course of a life.If affirming words were something rarely spoken in your home growing up, let me give you some tips on words and phrases that can brighten your own child's eyes and life. These words are easy to say to any child who comes into your life. I'm proud of you, Way to go, Bingo ... you did it, Magnificent(壮丽的，宏伟的) , I knew you could do it, What a good helper, You're very special to me, I trust you, What a treasure, Hurray for you, Beautiful work, You're a real trooper, Well done, That's so creative, You make my day, You're a joy, Give me a big hug, You're such a good listener, You figured it out, I love you, You're so responsible, You remembered, You're the best, You sure tried hard, I've got to hand it to you, I couldn't be prouder of you, You light up(照亮，点亮) my day, I'm praying for you, You're wonderful, I'm behind you, You're so kind to your , You're God's special gift, I'm here for you.。

高中年级英语课外阅读文章(一)Do you want a cupcake?YOUR mom might cook a bowl of noodles for you on your birthday. But in the US, a mom makes a cupcake (杯形蛋糕) for her children on their birthday.Cupcakes are small, round cakes topped with frosting (糖霜). It has been an American tradition that moms bring cupcakes to the classroom to celebrate th eir child’s birthday.But recently some doctors have called for this to be banned (禁止). They believe cupcakes contribute to child obesity (肥胖).Despite their good intentions, however, some people believe that experts are interfering (妨癨-) with American culture. The cupcake is seen as American as apple pie — only prettier.According to Marion Nestle, a professor of nutrition at New York University, the cupcake is the most democratic (民主的) of desserts. As they are small enough for one person, you don’t have to share your cupcake with anyone —it’s all yours. They are also all the same size, so there can’t be any cries of “she got the bigger piece!”Each bite can taste different depending on how much icing you have. It is a lesson in self-determination (自主). Some people eat only a little of the frosting every time, others have it all in just one bite.In recent years, eating a cupcake has become as trendy as having a cup of Starbucks coffee.Democratic presidential candidate (候选人) Hillary Clinton jokingly promised on a talk show that if she was elected president, she would give everyone a cupcake on her birthday.Ruth Reichl, editor-in-chief (主编) of Gourmet magazine, explains that the rise of the cupcake is very much about going back to American national identity (认同感) in food, which is all about comfort. “People want to think about when they and their country were innocent (纯真的),” she said.高中年级英语课外阅读文章(二)Mourinho: I'm still the special oneUPON landing in the English Premier League (英超) three years ago, Jose Mourinho declared (宣称) he was the special one. “Please don’t call me arrogant (傲慢的), but I’m European champion and I think I’m a special one.”He was definitely different from other managers. Never before had a football manager entertained the world both on and off the pitch (球场). The 44-year-old Portuguese manager is arrogant, witty and brilliant, but never dull.Two league titles in two seasons suggested he was indeed special. Under Mourinho, Chelsea never lost a Premier League match at their home stadium, Stamford Bridge.But despite these achievements, Mourinho’s relationship with the club’s owner Roman Abramovich become fractured (破裂) beyond repair.Abramovich decided to buy players like Andri Shevchenko and Michael Ballack. But Mourinho did not always play them.Abramovich wanted Chelsea to play an aggressive, attacking style of football, but Mourinho also refused. When Mourinho found his authority was being weakened, he walked away.Off the pitch, Mourinho was arrested (逮捕) after an angryquarrel with police officers about his dog. But he was also the manager who would run off from an interview to open the door for an elderly woman who was struggling with it.Mourinho was born into a family with football tradition. Despite an academic record that could have opened many other doors, he never considered a career outside of football.When it became clear he didn’t have enough talent to be a great player, he began working towards a career in coaching. And he has built a great one.“I think I’m still special. I achieved good things and it was a fantastic period in my career. I’ll try to forget the bad things and remember the good ones,” he said.。

英语美文欣赏87Every day is a lucky dayI teach economics at UNLV three times per week. Last Monday, at the beginning of class, I cheerfully asked my students how their weekend had been. One young man said that his weekend had not been so good. He had his wisdom teeth removed. The young man then proceeded to ask me why I always seemed to be so cheerful.His question reminded me of something I'd read somewhere before: "Every morning when you get up, you have a choice about how you want to approach life that day," I said. "I choose to be cheerful.""Let me give you an example," I continued, addressing all sixty students in the class. "In addition to teaching here at UNLV, I also teach out at the community college in Henderson, 17 miles down the freeway from where I live. One day a few weeks ago I drove those 17 miles to Henderson. I exited the freeway and turned onto College Drive. I only had to drive another quarter mile down the road to the college. But just then my car died. I tried to start it again, but the engine wouldn't turn over. So I put my flashers on, grabbed my books, and marched down the road to the college.""As soon as I got there I called AAA and arranged for a tow truck to meet me at my car after class. The secretary in the Provost's office asked me what has happened. 'This is my lucky day,' I replied, smiling."" 'Your car breaks down and today is your lucky day?' She was puzzled. 'What do you mean?'"" 'I live 17 miles from here.' I replied. 'My car could have broken down anywhere along the freeway. It didn't. Instead, it broke down in the perfect place: off the freeway, within walking distance of here. I'm still able to teach my class, and I've been able to arrange for the tow truck to meet me after class. If my car was meant to break down today, it couldn't have been arranged in a more convenient fashion.'""The secretary's eyes opened wide, and then she smiled. I smiled back and headed for class." So ended my story.I scanned the sixty faces in my economics class at UNLV. Despite the early hour, no one seemed to be asleep. Somehow, my story had touched them. Or maybe it wasn't the story at all. In fact, it had all started with a student's observation that I was cheerful.Free to soar有限的自由上天让我经历逆境，体验束缚的滋味，并定下规则约束我们，让我们从中成长起来，获得人生的力量……One windy spring day, I observed young people having fun using the wind to fly their kites. Multicolored creations of varying shapes and sizes filled the skies like beautiful birds darting and dancing. As the strong winds gusted against the kites, a string kept them in check.Instead of blowing away with the wind, they arose against it to achieve great heights. They shook and pulled, but the restraining string and the cumbersome tail kept them in tow, facing upward and against the wind. As the kites struggled and kept them in tow, facing upward and against the wind. As the kites struggled and trembled against the string, they seemed to say,” Let me go! Let me go! I want to be free!” they soared beautifully even as they fought the restriction of the string. Finally, one o f the kites succeeded in breaking loose. “Free at last,” it seemed to say. “Free to fly with the wind.”Yet freedom from restraint simply put it at the mercy of an unsympathetic breeze. It fluttered ungracefully to the ground and landed in a tangled mass of weeds and string against a dead bush. ”Free at last”, free to lie powerless in the dirt, to be blown helplessly along the ground, and to lodge lifeless against the first obstruction.How much like kites we sometimes are. The heaven gives us adversity and restrictions, rules to follow from which we can grow and gain strength. Restraint is a necessary counterpart to the winds of opposition. Some of us tug at the rules so hard that we never soar to reach the heights we might have obtained. We keep part of the commandment and never rise high enough to get our tails off the ground.Let us each rise to the great heights, recognizing that some of the restraints that we may chafe under are actually the steadying force that helps us ascend and achieve.Run Through the Rain雨中的记忆世间万物皆有自己的季节，做任何事情也有一个恰当的时机。

高中英语课外阅读文章(一)Hillary tours AsiaUS Secretary of State Hillary Clinton discusses trade and investment while on her Asia tour.US Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, arrived in China last Friday, after stopping in Japan, Indonesia and the Republic of Korea, on her Asia tour. She met with President Hu Jintao and Premier Wen Jiabao over the weekend. They discussed trade, investment (投资), China's 4-trillion-yuan stimulus (经济刺激) package and environmental issues.The China-US relationship is one of the most important international relationships in the world today. China is America's second-largest trading partner, after Canada. The US is also China's second largest trading partner, behind the EU.Last year, the US imported $252.3 billion worth of Chinese goods, while exporting $81.4 billion to China.In recent years, China's economic growth has given it new power on the diplomatic (外交的) front. It continues to be a key player in international attempts to seek a peaceful solution to the Democratic People's Republic of Korea's (朝鲜的) nuclear issue. And the US and the United Nations need China's help to solve the Iranian (伊朗的) nuclear issue.Climate change has become one place where the US can establish a positive working relationship with China. The two countries are the world's top greenhouse gas emitters (排放源).China hopes to cut its greenhouse-gas emissions through technology, something for which it needs US help.While the US has a long list of issues on which it wants China's support, China has a list of its own. China wants a greater say in the decision-making of the International Monetary Fund (国际货币基金组织), and tougher regulations on the financial system in wealthy countries to prevent future problems.The global financial crisis (危机) is likely to overshadow (使……失色) the human rights issue for now. Trade, security (安全), and environmental issues will be the key issues in the relationship between China and the US in the years ahead.BONUSWhen we address people formally we address them using their title before either their fullname or by their surname. For example Hillary Clinton is addressed as US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton or as US Secretary of State Clinton.高中英语课外阅读文(二)One of the greatestCRISTIANO Ronaldo has said new rumors (谣传) that he will move to Real Madrid are "lies". This follows months of speculation (猜测) over whether he will stay at Manchester United."Whoever says that [I want to move] is a liar because I am happy at Manchester United, I want to stay," Ronaldo said. "I feel at home here."In mid 2008, he announced a plan to move to Real Madrid, and there were rumors that the Spanish were willing to pay up to 70 million pounds for him. But the Red Devils wouldn’t let him go. United manager Sir Alex Ferguson even threatened to leave him off the field during games if he didn’t stop trying to negotiate a deal.On the field, it’s been an a mazing year for the 23-year-old winger.He had a stunning (惊人的) season for Manchester United in the English Premier League and UEFA Champions League, leading the team to victory in both, with an unheard-of 42 goals. The fact that he was the Premier League’s top scorer is even more impressive because he is a midfielder and not a striker.Then, earlier this month, Ronaldo was crowned European Footballer of the Year. He became only the third Portuguese star to win the honor.It hasn’t been all smooth sailing f or Ronaldo. On the field, he’s been accused of diving, or pretending other players have fouled (对……作了犯规行为) him. His performances for the Portuguese national team have also been criticized.Some critics say Ronaldo "chokes" in big games, and finds it difficult to perform against better opponents. A missed penalty (点球) in the European Cup final almost spelled disaster for his team.The pressure is now on for Ronaldo to redeem (挽救) himself and return to form. Sir Alex Ferguson maintains (主张) that he will be one of the greatest football stars the world has ever seen."There are a lot of things in his favor to go on and become a legend. The answers will come in the next few years."。

下面是店铺带来的高中经典英语晨读美文，欢迎阅读!高中经典英语晨读美文篇一Hanover Square追忆似水年华Can it really be sixty-two years ago that I first saw you?It is truly a lifetime, I know. But as I gaze into your eyes now, it seems like only yesterday that I first saw you, in that small café in Hanover Square.From the moment I saw you smile, as you opened the door for that young mother and her newborn baby. I knew. I knew that I wanted to share the rest of my life with you.Hanover Square 追忆似水年华I still think of how foolish I must have looked, as I gazed at you, that first time. I remember watching you intently, as you took off your hat and loosely shook your short dark hair with your fingers. I felt myself becoming immersed in your every detail, as you placed your hat on the table and cupped your hands around the hot cup of tea, gently blowing the steam away with your pouted lips.From that moment, everything seemed to make perfect sense to me. The people in the café and the busy street outside all disappeared into a hazy blur. All I could see was you.Hanover Square 追忆似水年华All through my life I have relived that very first day. Many, many times I have sat and thought about that the first day, and how for a few fleeting moments I am there, feeling again what islike to know true love for the very first time. It pleases me that I can still have those feelings now after all those years, and I know I will always have them to comfort me.Hanover Square 追忆似水年华Not even as I shook and trembled uncontrollably in the trenches, did I forget your face. I would sit huddled into the wet mud, terrified, as the hails of bullets and mortars crashed down around me. I would clutch my rifle tightly to my heart, and think again of that very first day we met. I would cry out in fear, as the noise of war beat down around me. But, as I thought of you and saw you smiling back at me, everything around me would be become silent, and I would be with you again for a few precious moments, far from the death and destruction. It would not be until I opened my eyes once again, that I would see and hear the carnage of the war around me.Hanover Square 追忆似水年华I cannot tell you how strong my love for you was back then, when I returned to you on leave in the September, feeling battered, bruised and fragile. We held each other so tight I thought we would burst. I asked you to marry me the very same day and I whooped with joy when you looked deep into my eyes and said "yes" to being my bride.I'm looking at our wedding photo now, the one on our dressing table, next to your jewelry box. I think of how young and innocent we were back then. I remember being on the church steps grinning like a Cheshire cat, when you said how dashing and handsome I looked in my uniform. The photo is old and faded now, but when I look at it, I only see the bright vibrant colors of our youth. I can still remember every detail of the pretty wedding dress your mother made for you, with its fine delicatelace and pretty pearls. If I concentrate hard enough, I can smell the sweetness of your wedding bouquet as you held it so proudly for everyone to see.Hanover Square 追忆似水年华I remember being so over enjoyed, when a year later, you gently held my hand to your waist and whispered in my ear that we were going to be a family.I know both our children love you dearly; they are outside the door now, waiting.Do you remember how I panicked like a mad man when Jonathon was born? I can still picture you laughing and smiling at me now, as I clumsily held him for the very first time in my arms. I watched as your laughter faded into tears, as I stared at him and cried my own tears of joy.Hanover Square 追忆似水年华Sarah and Tom arrived this morning with little Tessie. Can you remember how we both hugged each other tightly when we saw our tiny granddaughter for the first time? I can't believe she will be eight next month. I am trying not to cry, my love, as I tell you how beautiful she looks today in her pretty dress and red shiny shoes, she reminds me so much of you that first day we met. She has her hair cut short now, just like yours was all those years ago. When I met her at the door her smile wrapped around me like a warm glove, just like yours used to do, my darling.Hanover Square 追忆似水年华I know you are tired, my dear, and I must let you go. But I love you so much it hurts to do so.As we grew old together, I would tease you that you had not changed since we first met. But it is true, my darling. I do not see the wrinkles and grey hair that other people see. When I look atyou now, I only see your sweet tender lips and youthful sparkling eyes as we sat and had our first picnic next to that small stream, and chased each other around that big old oak tree. I remember wishing those first few days together would last forever. Do you remember how exciting and wonderful those days were?Hanover Square 追忆似水年华I must go now, my darling. Our children are waiting outside. They want to say goodbye to you.I wipe the tears away from my eyes and bend my frail old legs down to the floor, so that I can kneel beside you. I lean close to you and take hold of your hand and kiss your tender lips for the very last time.Sleep peacefully my dear.Hanover Square 追忆似水年华I am sad that you had to leave me, but please don't worry. I am content, knowing I will be with you soon. I am too old and too empty now to live much longer without you.I know it won't be long before we meet again in that small café in Hanover Square.Goodbye, my darling wife.高中经典英语晨读美文篇二《夏洛的网》，傲居“美国最伟大的十部儿童文学名著”之首。

1惟独你不可取代As a teenager，I felt I was always letting people down. I was rebellious1 out－side，but I wanted to be liked inside.Once I left home to hitch-hike2 to California with my friend Penelope. The trip wasn’t easy，and there were many times I didn’t feel safe. One situation in particular kept me grateful to still be alive. When I returned home，I was different，not so outwardly sure of myself.I was happy to be home. But then I noticed that Penelope，who was staying with us，was wearing my clothes. And my family seemed to like her better than me. I wondered if I would be missed if I weren’t there. I told my mom，and she explained that though Penelope was a lovely girl，no one could replace me.I pointed out，“Ｓhe is more patient and is neater than I have ever been.” My mom said these were wonderful qualities，but I was the only person who could fill my role. She made me realize that even with my faults—and there were many－I was a loved member of the family who couldn’t be replaced.I became a searcher，wanting to find out who I was and what made me unique. My view of myself was changing. I wanted a solid base to start from. I started to resist3 pressure to act in ways that I didn’t like any more，and I was delighted by who I really was. I came to feel much more sure that no one can ever take my place.Each of us holds a unique place in the world. You are special，no matter what others say or what you may think. So forget about being replaced. You can’t be.当我还是个10几岁的少年的时候，觉得自己总是让人失望。

高中学生英语课外阅读(一)Hip-hop spiritTURN on Channel V and you might find a singer in a baseball cap, baggy jeans and a big T-shirt rapping. Listening to hip-hop, it''s easy to swing your body to the rhythm (节奏), even if you have no idea what the lyrics are about.Hip-hop today is a worldwide movement. According to American professor S. Craig Watkins, hip-hop music is "a way to behave and an attitude". He says hip-hop is a rebellious (叛逆的) voice that resonates (共鸣) with young people.For Wang Liang, a 25-year-old DJ, hip-hop is a form of self-expression. "It''s free, like rock ''n'' roll. We can talk about our lives, what we''re thinking about and what we feel," Wang said in an interview with the New York Times.While American rappers have been popular in China since the 1990s, homegrown rap didn''t gain a following until a decade later. The group Yincang (meaning hidden) is one of the pioneers of Chinese rap. It is made up of music lovers from both sides of the Pacific Ocean: a Beijinger, a Chinese-Canadian and two Americans."The big change was when rappers started writing lyrics in Chinese, so people could understand," said Zhong Cheng, 27, a member of the group who was raised in Canada but born in Beijing, where he returned in 1997. "Before that, kids listened to hip-hop in English but maybe less than 1 percent could actuallyunderstand it."Yincang''s first hit song was In Beijing. It sets a melody (旋律) played on the Chinese traditional music instrument the erhu against a hip-hop beat. The song is an insider''s look at Beijing''s sights and sounds, such as traditional Siheyuan courtyard complexes, the bar area in Houhai, the Guijie food street and the clothes market near the zoo.However, making Chinese hip-hop is still relatively profitless. Members of Yincang still struggle to pay the bills after seven years together. But they haven''t stopped making hip-hop."When I met Jeremy Johnston (a member of the group), we were both so inspired by people here," said Zhong. "We wanted to drop some Chinese rhymes for the locals. From that day, we haven''t stopped rhyming. And we won''t stop."BONUSHip-hop is the culture from which rap emerged. Now the terms "rap" and "hip-hop" are,most of the time, interchangeable.Hip-hop culture: it''s a street culture that originated in the South Bronx, a district in New York City, in the mid 1970s. Hip-hop featured a group of uniquely dressed teenagers, rap music, breakdancing and graffiti art.高中学生英语课外阅读(二)Different ways we care for the deadTANG Dynasty writer Du Mu once wrote in a poem titled Qingming: "The ceaseless drizzle drips all the dismal day; So broken-hearted fares the traveler on the way。

It reminds you of a placid rivulet， meandering smoohtly through green pastures and shaded by pleasant trees，till at last it falls into the vasty sea; but the sea is so calm， so silent，so infifferent，that you are troubled suddently by a vague uneasiness。

Perhaps it is only by a kink in my nature，strong in me even in those days， that i felt in such an existence，the share of the great majority， something amiss。

I recognized its social value。

I saw its ordered happiness， but a fever in my blood asked for a wilder course。

There seemed to me something alarming in such easy delights。

英语美文欣赏The Most Important Body Part身体最重要的部位My mother used to ask me what is the most important part of the body. Through the years I would guess at what I thought was the correct answer.从前我母亲经常问我，身体最重要的部位是什么。

许多年来，我一直以为自己所想的是正确答案。

When I was younger, I thought sound was very important to us as humans, so I said, "My ears, Mommy."当我很小的时候，我认为对人类而言，声音很重要，因此回答：“妈咪，是耳朵。

”She said, "No. Many people are deaf. But you keep thinking about it and I will ask you again soon."她说：“不对，有许多人是聋人。

但是你继续想，不久我会再问你。

”Several years passed before she asked me again. Since making my first attempt, I had contemplated the correct answer. So this time I told her, "Mommy, sight is very important to everybody, so it must be our eyes."当她再度问我时，已经是好几年后了。

自从第一次回答之后，我就一直仔细的思考正确答案。

所以这次我对她说：“妈咪，视觉对每个人都很重要，所以应该是我们的眼睛。

英语美文欣赏篇1In 1882 a baby girl caught a fever that was so fierce she nearly died. She survived but the fever left its mark — she could no longer see or hear. Because she could not hear she also found it very difficult to speak.So how did this child, blinded and deafened at 19 months old, grow up to become a world-famous author and public speaker?The fever cut her offfromthe outside world, depriving her of sight and sound. It was as if she had been thrown into a dark prison cellfromwhich there could be no release.Luckily Helen was not someone who gave up easily. Soon she began to explore the world by using her other senses. She followed her mother wherever she went, hanging onto her skirts, She touched and smelled everything she came across. She copied their actions and was soon able to do certain jobs herself, like milking the cows or kneading dough, She even learnt to recognize people by feeling their faces or their clothes. She could also tell where she was in the garden by the smell of the different plants and the feel of the ground under her feet.By the age of seven she had invented over 60 different signs by which she could talk to her family, If she wanted bread for example, she would pretendto cut a loaf and butter the slices. If she wanted ice cream she wrapped her arms around herself and pretended to shiver.Helen was unusual in that she was extremely intelligent and also remarkably sensitive. By her own efforts she had managed to make some sense of an alien and confusing world. But even so she had limitations.At the age of five Helen began to realize she was differentfromother people. She noticed that her family did not use signs like she did but talked with their mouths. Sometimes she stood between two people and touched their lips. She could not understand what they said and she could not make any meaningful sounds herself. She wanted to talk but no matter how she tried she could not make herself understood. This make her so angry that she used to hurl herself around the room, kicking and screaming in frustration.As she got older her frustration grew and her rages became worse and worse. She became wild and unruly . If she didn't get what she wanted she would throw tantrums until her family gave in. Her favourite tricks included grabbing other people's foodfromtheir plates and hurling fragile objects to the floor. Once she even managed to lock her mother into the pantry. Eventually it became clear that something had to be done. So, just before her seventh birthday, the family hired a private tutor —Anne Sullivan.Anne was careful to teach Helen especially those subjects in which she was interested. As a result Helen became gentler and she soon learnt to read and write in Braille. She also learnt to read people's lips by pressing her finger-tips against them and feeling the movement and vibrations. This method is called Tadoma and it is a skill that very, very few people manage to acquire. She also learnt to speak, a major achievement for someone who could not hear at all.Helen proved to be a remarkable scholar, graduating with honoursfromRadcliffe College in 1904. She had phenomenal powers of concentration and memory, as well as a dogged determination to succeed. While she was still at college she wrote ‘The Story of My Life'. This was an immediate success and earned her enough money to buy her own house.She toured the country, giving lecture after lecture. Many books were written about her and several plays and films were made about her life. Eventually she became so famous that she was invited abroad and received many honoursfromforeign universities and monarchs. In 1932 she became a vice-president of the Royal National Institute for the Blind in the United Kingdom.After her death in 1968 an organization was set up in her name to combat blindness in the developing world. Today that agency, Helen Keller International, is one of the biggest organizations working with blind people overseas.英语美文欣赏篇2A man and his girlfriend were married. It was a large celebration.一个男人和他的女朋友结婚，举行了一场盛大的结婚庆典。

英语美文欣赏86Seven secrets to a great lifeA great life doesn't happen by accident. A great life is the result of allocating your time, energy, thoughts, and hard work towards what you want your life to be. Stop setting yourself up for stress and failure, and start setting up your life to support success and ease. A great life is the result of using what you get in a creative and thoughtful way, instead of just what comes next. Customize these "secrets" to fit your own needs and style, and start creating your own great life today!1. S—Simplify. A great life is the result of simplifying your life. People often misinterpret what simplify means. It's not a way to remove work from your life. When you focus on simplifying your life, you free up energy and time for the work that you enjoy and the purpose for which you are here. In order to create a great life, you will have to make room for it in yours first.2. E—Effort. A great life is the result of your best effort. Creating a great life requires that you make some adjustments. It may mean re-evaluating how you spend your time, or choosing to spend your money in a different way. It may mean looking for new ways to spend your energy that coincide with your particular definition of a great life. Life will reward your best effort.3. C—Create priorities. A great life is the result of creating priorities. It's easy to spend your days just responding to the next thing that gets your attention, instead of intentionally using the time, energy and money you have in a way that's important to you. Focus on removing the obstacles that get in the way of you making sure you are honoring your priorities.4. R—Reserves. A great life is the result of having reserves—reserves of things, time, space, energy, money. With reserves, you acquire far more than you need—not 6 months living expenses, but 5 years worth; not 15 minutes of free time, 1 day. Reserves are important because they reduce the fear of consequences, and that allows you to make decisions based on what you really want instead of what the fear decides for you.5. E—Eliminate distractions. A great life is the result of eliminating distractions. Up to 75% of your mental energy can be tied up in things that are draining and distracting you. Eliminating distractions can be a difficult concept to many people, since they haven't really considered that there is another way to live. Look around at someone's life you admire. What do they do that you would like to incorporate into your own life? Ask them how they did it. Find ways to free upyour mental energy for things that are more important to you.6. T—Thoughts. A great life is the result of controlling your thoughts so that you accept and allow for the possibility that it actually can happen to you! Your belief in the outcome will directly dictate how successful you are. Motivated people have specific goals and look for ways to achieve them. Believing there is a solution to the same old problems you encounter year after year is vitally important to creating a life that you love.7. S—Start. A great life is the result of starting. There's the old saying everyone's familiar with "a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." In order to even move from the couch to the refrigerator, you have to start. There's no better time to start than today. Don't wait for a raise, or until the kids get older, or the weather is better. Today, right now, is the right day to start to take a step in the direction of your heart's desires. It's what you do TODAY that will make a difference in your life tomorrow.说出你的爱There was once a guy who suffered from cancer, a cancer that can’t be cured. He was 18 years old and he could die anytime. All his life, he was stuck in his house being taken cared by his mother. He never went outside but he was sick of staying home and wanted to go out for once. So he asked his mother and she gave him permission.He walked down his block and found a lot of stores. He passed a CD store and looked through the front door for a second as he walked. He stopped and went back to look into the store. He saw a beautiful girl about his age and he knew it was love at first sight. He opened the door and walked in, not looking at anything else but her. He walked closer and closer until he was finally at the front desk where she sat.She looked up and asked, "Can I help you?"She smiled and he thought it was the most beautiful smile he has ever seen before and wanted to kiss her right there.He said, "Uh... Yeah... Umm... I would like to buy a CD."He picked one out and gave her money for it."Would you like me to wrap it for you?" she asked, smiling her cute smile again.He nodded and she went to the back. She came back with the wrapped CD and gave it to him. He took it and walked out of the store.He went home and from then on, he went to that store every day and bought a CD, and she wrapped it for him. He took the CD home and put it in his closet. He was still too shy to ask her out and he really wanted to but he couldn’t. His motherfound out about this and told him to just ask her. So the next day, he took all his courage and went to the store as usual. He bought a CD like he did every day and once again she went to the back of the store and came back with it wrapped. He took it and when she wasn’t looking, he left his phone n umber on the desk and ran out...RRRRRING!!!One day the phone rang, and the mother picked it up and said, "Hello?"It was the girl!!! The mother started to cry and said, "You don’t know? He passed away yesterday..."The line was quiet except for the cries of the boy’s mother. Later in the day, the mother went into the boy’s room because she wanted to remember him. She thought she would start by looking at his clothes. So she opened the closet.She was face to face with piles and piles and piles of unopened CDs. She was surprised to find all these CDs and she picked one up and sat down on the bed and she started to open one. Inside, there was a CD and as she took it out of the wrapper, out fell a piece of paper. The mother picked it up and started to read it. It said: Hi...I think U R really cute. Do u wanna go out with me? Love, Jocelyn.The mother was deeply moved and opened another CD...Again there was a piece of paper. It said: Hi... I think U R really cute. Do u wanna go out with me? Love, Jocelyn.Lov e is... when you’ve had a huge fight but then decide to put aside your egos, hold hands and say, "I Love You."Is packing important to you?A young man was getting ready to graduate from college. For many months he had admired a beautiful sports car in a dealer's showroom, and knowing his father could well afford it, he told him that was all he wanted.As Graduation Day approached, the young man awaited signs that his father had purchased the car. Finally, on the morning of his graduation, his father called him into his private study. His father told him how proud he was to have such a fine son, and told him how much he loved him. He handed his son a beautiful wrapped gift box. Curious, but somewhat disappointed, the young man opened the box and found a lovely, leather-bound Bible, with the young man's name embossed in gold.Angrily, he raised his voice to his father and said, "With all your money you give me a Bible?" He then stormed out of the house, leaving the Bible.Many years passed and the young man was very successful in business. He had a beautiful home and a wonderful family, but realizing his father was very old, he thought perhaps he should go to see him. He had not seen him since that graduationday. Before he could make the arrangements, he received a telegram telling him his father had passed away, and willed all of his possessions to his son. He needed to come home immediately and take care of things.When he arrived at his father's house, sudden sadness and regret filled his heart. He began to search through his father's important papers and saw the still new Bible, just as he had left it years ago.With tears, he opened the Bible and began to turn the pages. As he was reading, a car key dropped from the back of the Bible. It had a tag with the dealer's name, the same dealer who had the sports car he had desired. On the tag was the date of his graduation, and the words… "PAID IN FULL".How many times do we miss blessings because they are not packaged as we expected? I trust you enjoyed this. Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; but remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for. Sometimes we don't realize the good fortune we have or we could have because we expect "the packaging" to be different. What may appear as bad fortune may in fact be the door that is just waiting to be opened.Today is a giftTwo men, both seriously ill, occupied the same hospital room. One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon to help drain the fluid from his lungs. His bed was next to the room‘s only window. The other man had to spend all his time flat on his back. The men talked for hours on end.They spoke of their wives and families, their homes, their jobs, their involvement in the military service, where they had been on vacation. And every afternoon when the man in the bed by the window could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see outside the window. The man in the other bed began to live for those one-hour periods where his world would be broadened and enlivened by all the activity and color of the world outside.The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake. Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Young lovers walked arm in arm amidst flowers of every color of the rainbow. Grand old trees graced the landscape, and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance. As the man by the window described all this in exquisite detail, the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and imagine the picturesque scene.One warm afternoon the man by the window described a parade passing by. Although the other man couldn‘t hear the band - he could see it in his mind‘s eye as the gentleman by the window portrayed it with descriptive words.Days and weeks passed. One morning, the day nurse arrived to bring water for their baths only to find the lifeless body of the man by the window, who had died peacefully in his sleep. She was saddened and called the hospital attendants to take the body away.As soon as it seemed appropriate, the other man asked if he could be moved next to the window. The nurse was happy to make the switch, and after making sure he was comfortable, she left him alone. Slowly and painfully, he propped himself up on one elbow to take his first look at the world outside. Finally, he would have the joy of seeing it for himself. He strained to slowly turn to look out the window beside the bed. It faced a blank wall.The man asked the nurse what could have compelled his deceased roommate who had described such wonderful things outside this window. The nurse responded that the man was blind and could not even see the wall. She said, "Perhaps he just wanted to encourage you."感恩节祝福短信Warm wishes at Thanksgiving.今天是感恩节，衷心祝福你！From all of us to all of you at Thanksgiving.请接受我们诚挚的祝福：祝你们感恩节快乐！I wish you could be here on Thanksgiving.我真的希望你能来过感恩节。

适合当高中生睡前读物的英语美文赏析，附翻译一、《快乐之门》The Happy DoorHappiness is like a pebble dropped into a pool to set in motion an ever-widening circle of ripples.快乐就像一块为了激起阵阵涟漪而丢进池塘的小石头。

As Stevenson has said, being happy is a duty.正好史蒂文森所说，快乐是一种责任。

There is no exact definition of the word happiness.快乐这个词并没有确切的定义，Happy people are happy for all sorts of reasons.快乐的人快乐的理由多种多样。

The key is not wealth or physical well-being,快乐的关键并不是财富或身体健康，since we find beggars, invalids and so-called failures, who are extremely happy.因为我们发现有些乞丐，残疾人和所谓的失败者也都非常快乐。

Being happy is a sort of unexpected dividend.快乐是一种意外的收获，But staying happy is an accomplishment, a triumph of soul and character.但保持快乐却是一种成就，一种灵性的胜利。

It is not selfish to strive for it.努力追寻快乐并不自私，It is, indeed, a duty to ourselves and others.实际上，这是我们对自己和他人应尽的责任。

Being unhappy is like an infectious disease.不快乐就像传染病，It causes people to shrink away from the sufferer.它使得人们都躲避不快乐的人。
