英语阅读：一位母亲写给世界的信(双语)

【给孩子的中英文现代诗】《母亲致儿子》今天我们读美国黑人诗人兰斯顿.休斯（Langston Hughes）的诗：《母亲致儿子》《母亲致儿子》好吧，儿子，我要告诉你：生活对我来说从来不是水晶楼梯。

它藏着钉子，和尖刺，木板破碎，处处没有铺毯-光秃荒凉。

但一直一直我都在攀爬，到达平台，转过拐角，有时摸黑前行那里没有一丝光。

所以，儿子，不要转身回头。

不要坐在台阶上停留。

因为你觉得有点难。

不要现在就跌倒-因为我还在朝前走，亲爱的，我还在攀爬，生活对我来说从来不是水晶楼梯。

翻译/ 素玲这首诗的英文原文是：Mother to SonWell, son, I'll tell you:Life for me ain't been no crystal stair.It's had tacks in it,And splinters,And boards torn up,And places with no carpet on the floor—Bare.But all the timeI'se been a-climbin' on,And reachin' landin's,And turnin' corners,And sometimes goin' in the darkWhere there ain't been no light.So, boy, don't you turn back.Don't you set down on the steps.'Cause you finds it's kinder hard.Don't you fall now—For I'se still goin', honey,I'se still climbin',And life for me ain't been no crystal stair.--父母们都很想告诉孩子生活很美好，但生活并非那么容易。

中考英语阅读理解（word）一、初三英语阅读理解（含答案详细解析）1．阅读理解Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents, however, it is not true.Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages. If it's hard for you to communicate with your parents, don't worry about it. Here are some advice for you to bridge the generation gap （代沟）.Don't argue （争辩） with your parents. Don't get to your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won't consider your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can't express yourself well if you are angry. Go someplace to cool off. Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you don't think you can speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter.Try to reach a compromise （和解）. Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Michael's mother didn't agree with him about buying a motorcycle. They argued over it. But they finally came to a compromise. Michael bought the motorcycle, but only drove it on certain days.Of course, your parents might refuse to compromise on something. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect （尊敬） to them. Showing respect will keep your relationship strong.Talk about your values. The values of your parents are probably different from those of your own. Tell your parents what you care about, and why. Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life.A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is worth having a try!（1）According to the passage who have a communication problem?A. parents and other peopleB. only school kids and their parentsC. teachers and their studentsD. parents and children of all ages（2）How many pieces of advice does the writer give us to bridge the generation gap?A. 5.B. 4.C. 3.D. 2.（3）The underlined word "bridge" in the passage means "___________".A. 建立B. 消除C. 通过D. 到达（4）If the values of your parents are different from those of yours, you'd better ___________.A. argue with themB. keep away from themC. agree with them all the timeD. tell your parents what you care about（5）The best title for the passage is ___________.A.

给我伟大的母亲英文作文Title: A Marvelous Mother: Unfettered Love and Endless Inspiration。

1. Emblazoned in the tapestry of my life, my mother, a beacon of unwavering warmth, is a force of nature. Her name, like a gentle breeze, is simply "Mother," a title that echoes in the quiet corners of my heart.2. In the realm of memories, she's not a chapter, but a collage of moments, each one a brushstroke in a vibrant canvas. Her laughter, a symphony of joy, echoes in the echoes of our shared laughter, a rhythm that never fades.3. The kitchen, her sanctuary, is where her magic lies. Her hands, deft and steady, weave stories of love through every dish, a culinary symphony that nourishes not just our bodies, but our souls.4. Her resilience, a testament to human strength, is aconstant reminder. Through the storms of life, she stands tall, a rock in the midst of chaos, her unwavering faith a beacon of hope.5. Her wisdom, a treasure trove, is not a lecture, buta gentle whisper. Her words, like a river, flow freely, guiding me towards the right path, without the weight of rules or expectations.6. She's not just a mother, but a role model, a walking embodiment of selflessness. Her love, boundless and pure,is a testament to the purest form of affection.7. In the quiet of the night, her presence, a silent comfort, is a lullaby that soothes my fears. Her love, a constant, is the anchor that keeps me grounded.8. In the end, my mother, this extraordinary woman, is not defined by her title, but by the countless acts of kindness and love she pours into our lives. Her name, simple as it is, is a testament to the depth of her love and the greatness she embodies.Remember, a mother's love is a language that transcends boundaries, a story that will never end. So, let's celebrate her, this extraordinary being, for she is the very essence of what it means to be great.。

Unit 4Text AWe’ve got mail ---AlwaysIs e-mail a blessing or a curse?Last month ,after a week’s vacation.I discovered 1218unread e-mail messages waiting in my IN box. I pretend to be dismayed,but secretly I was pleased. This is how we messure our wired worth in the late 1900s—if you are not overwhelmed by e-mail. You must be doing something wrong..Never mind that after subtracting the stale office chitchat ,spam,flame wars,dumb jokes forward by friends who should have known better and other e-mail detritus.there were perhaps seven messages actually worth reading .I was doomed to spend half my workday just deleting junk E-mail sucks.But wait –what about those seven? A close friend in T aipei I haven’t seen in five years tells me he’s planning to st art a family. A complete stranger in Belgium sends me a hot story tip.Another stranger offers me a job. I’d rather lose an eye than lose my e-mail account .E-mail rocks.E-mail.can’t live with it.can’t live without it.Con artists and real artists, advert isers and freedom fighters,lovers and sworn enemies---they’ve all flocked to e-mail as they would to any new medium og expression.E-mail is convenient,save time,brings us closer to one another,help us manage our ever-more comples lives. Books are written,campaigns conducted ,crimes committed---all via e-mail.But,it is also inconvenient,wastes our time ,isolates us in front of our computers.e-mail is just the latest chapter in the evolving history of human communication. A snooping husband now discovers his wife’s affair by reading her private e-mail—but he could have uncoverd the same sin by finding letters a generation ago.Yet e-mail---and all online communication—is in fact something truly different,it capture the essence od life at the close of the 20th century with an authority that few other products of digital technology can claim.Does the pace of life seem ever faster?E-mail simultaneously allows us to cope with the acceleration and contributes to it.Are our attention spans shriveling under barrages of new,improved forms of stimulation?The quick and dirty e-mail is made to order for those whose ability to contrate is measured in nanoseconds.if we accept that the creation of the globe-spanning Internet is one of the most important technological innovations of the last half of this century. Then we must give a e-mail---the living embodiment of human connection across the Net---pride of place. The way we interact with each other is changing.e-mail is both the catalyst and the instrument of that change. The scope of the phenomenon is mind-boggling.worldwide,225milion people can send and receive e-mail.Forget about the Web or e-commerce or even online porography.e-mail is the internet’s true killer app-the sofeware application that we simply must have .even if means buying a $2000 computer and plunkding down $20 a month to American Online.Oddly enough, no one planned it, and no one predicted it. When researchscientists first began cooking up the Internet’s predecessor, the Arpanet, in 1968, their primary goal was to enable disparate computing centers to share resources. “But it didn’t take very long before they discovered that the most important thing was the ability to send mail around, which they had not anticipated at all,” says Eric Allman ,chief technical officer of Sendmail, Inc., and the primary author of a 20-year-old program —Sendmail —that still transports the vast majority of the world’s e-mail across the Internet . It seems that what all those top computer scientists really wanted to use the Internet for was as a place to debate, via e-mail , such crucially important topics as the best science-fiction novel of all time .Even though Allman is now quite proud that his software helps hundreds of millions of people communicate, he says he didn’t se t out originally to change the world. As a systems administrator at UC Berkeley in the late 70s, he was constantly hassled by computer-science researchers in one building who wanted to get their e-mail from machines in another location. “I just wanted to make my life easier,” says Allman.Don’t we all? When my first child was born in 1994, e-mail seemed to me some kind of Promethean gift perfectly designed to help me cope with the irreconcilable pressures of new-fatherhood and full-time freelance writing. It saved me time and money without ever requiring me to leave the house; it salvaged my social life, allowed me to conduct interviews as a reporter and kept a lifeline open to my far-flung extended family. Indeed, I finally knew for sure that the digital world was viscerally potent when I found myself in the middle of a bitter fight with my mother— on e-mail. Again, new medium, old story.My mother had given me an e-mail head start. In 1988, she bought me a modem so I could create a CompuServe account. The reason? Her younger brother had contracted a rapidly worsening case of Parkinson’s disease. He wasn’t able to talk clearly, and could hardly scrawl his name with a pen or pencil. But he had a computer, and could peck out words on a keyboard. My mom figured that if the family all had CompuServe accounts, we could send him e-mail. She grasped, long before the Internet became a household word, how online communication offered new possibilities for transcending physical limitations, how as simple a thing as e-mail could bring us closer to those whom we love.It may even help us find those whom we want to love in the first place.Jenn Shreve is a freelance writer in the San Francisco Bay Area who keeps a close eye on the emerging culture of the new online generation. For the last couple of years, she’s seen what she considers to be a positive change in online dating habits. E-mail, she argues, encourages the shy. “It offers a semi-risk-free environment to initiate romance,” says Shreve. “Because it l acks the immediate threat of physical rejection, people who are perhaps shy or had painful romantic failures in the past can use the Internet as a way to build a relationship in the early romantic stages.”But it’s not just about lust. E-mail also flattens hierarchies within the bounds of an It is far easier, Shreve notes, to make a suggestion to your superiors and colleagues via e-mail than it is to do so in a pressure-filled meeting room. “Any time when you have something that is difficult to say, e-mail can make it easier,” she says. “It serves as a buffer zone.”Of course, e-mail’s use as a social lubricant can be taken to extremes. There is little point in denying the obvious dark side to the lack of self-constraints encouraged by e-mail. Purveyors of pornography rarely call us on the phone and suggest out loud that we check out some“hot teen action.” But they don’t think twice about jamming our e-mail boxes full of outrageously prurient advertisements. People who would never insult us face to face will spew the vilest, most objectionable, most appalling rhetoric imaginable via e-mail or an instant message, or in the no-holds-barred confines of a chat room.Cyberspace’s lapse in genitility underscores a central contradiction inherent in online communication. If it is true that hours spent on the Net are often hours subtracted from watching television, one could argue that the digital era has raised the curtains on a new age of literacy—more people are writing more words than ever before! But what kind of are we writing? Are we really more literate, or are we sliding ever faster into a quicksand of meaningless irrelevance, of pop-cultural triviality-expressed,usually,in lowercase letters-run amok? E-mail is actually too easy,too casual. Gone are the days when one would worry over a letter to a lover or a relative or a collea gue. Now there’s just time for that quick e-mail,a few hastily cobbled together thoughts written in a colloquial style that usually borders on unedited stream of consciousness. The danger is obvious: snippy comments to a friend,overly sharp retores to one’s boss,insults mistakenly sent to the target, not the intended audience.e-mail allows us to act before we can think-the perfect tool for a culture of hyperstimulation.So instead of creating something new, we forward something old. instead of crafting the perfect phrase,we use a brain-dead abbreviation:IMHO for In My Humble Opinion,or ROTFLMAO,for Rolling on The Floor Laughing My Ass Off.Got a rumor?E-mail is to 50 people!Instead messaging and chat room just accentuate the casual negative. If e-mail requires little thought, then instant messaging——flashing a message directly onto a recipitent’s computer monitor——is so insubstantial as to be practically nonexistent.E-mail,ultimately, is a fragile thing,easy to forge,easy to corrupt, easy to destroy. A few weeks ago a coworker of mine accidentally and irretrievably wiped out 1,500 of his own saved message. For a person who conducts the bulk of his life online,such a digital tragedy is akin to erasing part of your own memory.suddenly,nothing’s let. If is comforting to think that,if preserved in a retrievable way, all the notes the world is passing back and forth today constitute a vast historical archive,but the opposite may also be true. Earlier this summer, I visited some curators at Stanford University Library who are hard at work compliling a digital archive of Silicon Valley history. They bemoaned a new,fast-spreading corporate policy that requires the deletion of all corporate e-mails after 60 or 90 days. As Microsofe and Netscape have learned to their dismay,old e-mails,however trivial they seem when they are written,can and will come back to haunt you. Say the lawyers,to just wipe them all out.Still,e-mail is enabling radically new forms of worldwide human collaboration. Those 225 million people who can send and receive it represent a network ofpotentially cooperating individuals dwarfing anything that even the mightiest corporation or government can muster. mailing-list discussion groups and onlion conferencing allow us to gather together to work on a mutitude of projects that are intersted or helpful to us——to pool our collective efforts in a fation never before possible.the most obvious place to see this collaboration right now is in the world of software. For decades,programers have used e-mail to collaborate on projects. With increasing frequency,this collaboration is occurring across company lines,and often without even the spur of commercial incentives. It’s happening lar gely because it can——it’s relatively easy for a thousand programmers to collectively contribute to a project using e-mail and the internet. Perhaps each individual contribution is small,but the scale of the internet multiplies all efforts dramatically.我们收到了邮件---从不间断电子邮件是福是祸？上个月，在一周休假之后，我在收件箱中发现了1218封未读邮件，我假装气恼，却暗自窃喜。
