“The End of Something" is a short story about two young people who witness how time can change the world
and the people in it. Hemingway uses this story to convey how this change happens all the time, and however
desperately you cling to the "present"This article uses the broken mill, the fish's not striking,and the characters in
themselves to tell us a story far beyond what we read.
The broken mill represents Nick and Marjorie's broken relationship. Once,their relationship flourished.now
they cannot relate as much to each other anymore.Nick has lost interest; the fish will not strike anymore, and love
is not fun anymore. The love is there, but it has ceased to appeal to Nick. The good old past simply isn't good
enough anymore. Marjorie, on the other hand, clings to what is left and still hopes for the best.For what was, was,
and what one must focus on is what is, now, and what is to come, tomorrow. It is as Hemingway conveys through
this story: the present will not remain present for long, and one must look beyond what was and look at what is in
order to be truly happy.
The author began the essay by telling the experience of waking in the morning and finding him practically
ignorant of anything. The author think his conviction of ignorance was sane ,happy,and irrefutable.which did not
depress he,for thinking that he is better as he is.At first, apart from the immediate personal experiences, he has a
limited range of knowledge and the inadequate understanding of the major phenomena of the world. Secondly,the
acquisition of this store has cost he long years and much money,compared with all that he do not know,it seems,an
inadequate terurn.And the reasons may be that ignorance seems to do him no harm in his daily life, and his
inadequate memory of knowledge may deceive him and even cause severe mistakes of misquoting. Just as he write
“the happy ignorant man ,the man aware of his own ignorance,and perfectly content with it.”However, it suddenly
occurred to him when he has gone his way serene and happy, he may be the only one who is ignorant, for anyone
may harbor the same psychology of remaining to be a happy ignorant person.
For several decades we have known about one effect of exercise on the brain,the “endorphin high”that make
us feel good dueing and right after exercise. And “a sound mind in a sound body is a short, but a full description of
a happy state in this world.” Nowadays research suggests that we should think there is deep link between body and
mind health in order to achieve happy state of mind. In this way, exercise is a state of mind.
In this article the auther uses scientists’ experiments as evidence to show that exercise has great effects on
people’s mind health. Regular exercise can improve your mood, decrease anxiety,improves sleep,improves
resilience in the face of stress and raises self-esteem.and they come from alterations inside your head. Exercise is
also a pretty good antidepressant which can relieves and prevents depression through regulating mood and storing
memories. On the other hand, exercise is under genetic control. Genes can influence both people’s physiological
responses to exercise and people’s subjective experience of exercise. In the end, the author advices that we form
the habit of exercise.and continuing exercise and motivation is the keys to good health.
“Opportunity is what the new world has always represengted:struggle,risk,self-determination,and the hope
of spiritual and progress.” But is America any longer a land of opportunity for the people born here?the answer
is:no,not especially.And in recent years the traditional doctrine of “American dream” is seriously challenged.
The writer Clive Crook holds that that phase America is exceptional in its material opportunity has
ended.pessimism vies with vitality for command of the national consciousness.Most important of all,the economic
mobility in America is getting lower and lower as compared to any other western country. America insist a kind of
bargain,but it is false advertising.The idea of the “American Dream” is starting to fade since rich children stay rich
whereas poor children still stay poor. And the real focus of any effort to restore economic opportunity is to get out of poverty, and to this end one effective way may be to improve education, which cannot do everything ,but dismal
school performance is the biggest problem that policy makers concerned with opportunity in American can fix.
which will definitely have a great effect on economic mobility across generations.
As we all known, every language has its words to express good and evil,for it is generally believed that a
