This time it worked, and since 1990, the TED conference has been an annual event. There are now two held every year, with topics as diverse as music, medicine, and money.

【英语】高中英语阅读理解(人生百味)的技巧及练习题及练习题(含答案)含解析一、高中英语阅读理解人生百味类1．阅读理解Give yourself a test. Which way is the wind blowing? How many kinds of wildflowers can be seen from your front door? If your awareness is as sharp as it could be, you'll have no trouble answering these questions.Most of us observed much more as children than we do as adults. A child's day is filled with fascination, newness and wonder. Curiosity gave us all a natural awareness. But distinctions that were sharp to us as children become unclear; we are numb(麻木的）to new stimulation(刺激), new ideas. Relearning the art of seeing the world around us is quite simple, although it takes practice and requires breaking some bad habits.The first step in awakening senses is to stop predicting what we are going to see and feel before it occurs. This blocks awareness. One chilly night when I was hiking in the Rocky Mountains with some students, I mentioned that we were going to cross a mountain stream. The students began complaining about how cold it would be. We reached the stream, and they unwillingly walked ahead. They were almost knee-deep when they realized it was a hot spring. Later they all admitted they'd felt cold water at first.Another block to awareness is the obsession(痴迷) many of us have with naming things. I saw bird watchers who spotted a bird, immediately looked it up in field guides, and said, a "ruby-crowned kinglet" and checked it off. They no longer paid attention to the bird and never learned what it was doing.The pressures of "time" and "destination" are further blocks to awareness. I encountered many hikers who were headed to a distant camp-ground with just enough time to get there before dark. It seldom occurred to them to wander a bit, to take a moment to see what's around them. I asked them what they'd seen. "Oh, a few birds," they said. They seemed bent on their destinations.Nature seems to unfold to people who watch and wait. Next time you take a walk, no matter where it is, take in all the sights, sounds and sensations. Wander in this frame of mind and you will open a new dimension to your life.（1）According to Paragraph 2, compared with adults, children are more .A. anxious to do wondersB. sensitive to others' feelingsC. likely to develop unpleasant habitsD. eager to explore the world around them（2）What idea does the author convey in Paragraph 3?A. To avoid jumping to conclusions.B. To stop complaining all the time.C. To follow the teacher's advice.D. To admit mistakes honestly.（3）The bird watchers' behavior shows that they .A. are very patient in their observationB. are really fascinated by natureC. care only about the names of birdsD. question the accuracy of the field guides（4）Why do the hikers take no notice of the surroundings during the journey?A. The natural beauty isn't attractive to them.B. They focus on arriving at the camp in time.C. The forest in the dark is dangerous for them.D. They are keen to see rare birds at the destination.（5）In the passage, the author intends to tell us we should .A. fill our senses to feel the wonders of the worldB. get rid of some bad habits in our daily lifeC. open our mind to new things and ideasD. try our best to protect nature【答案】（1）D（2）A（3）C（4）B（5）A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文，我们有多久没有仔细观察我们周围的世界了。

Life Is to Be Whole生命在于完整Once a circle missed a wedge.The circle wanted tobe whole，so it went around looking for its missingpiece.But because it was incomplete a nd thereforecould roll only very slowly，it admired the flowersalong the way.It chatted with worms.It enjoyed thesunshi ne.It found lots of different pieces，but noneof them fit.So it left them all by the side of the roadand kept on searc hing.Then one day the circle founda piece that fit perfectly.It was so happy.No w it could be whole，with nothing missing.Itincorporated the missingpiece into itself and began to r oll.Now that it was a perfect circle，itcould roll very fast，too fast tonotice the flowers or talking to the worms.When it realized howdiffer ent the world seemed when it rolled so quickly，it stopped，left its found piece by the sideof the road and rolled slowly away.The lesson of the story，I suggested，was that in some strange sense we are more whole whenwe are missingsome thing.The man who has everything is in some ways a poor man.He willnever k now what it feels like to yearn，to hope，to nourish his soul with the dream ofsomething better.He will never know the e xperience ofhaving someone who loves him give himsomething he has alway s wanted or never had.There is a wholeness about the person who has come to terms with his limitati ons，who hasbeen brave enough to let go of his unrealistic dreams and not feel like a failure for doingso.There is a wholeness about the man or woman who has learned that he or she is strongenough to go through a tragedy and survive，who can lose someone and still feel like acomplete person.Life is not a trap set for us by God so that he can condemn us for failing.Life is not a spellingbee，where no matter how many words you've gotten right，you're disqualified if you make onemistake.Life ismore like a baseball season，where even the best team loses one－third of itsgames and even the worst team has its days of brilliance.Our goal is to win more games thanwe lose.When we accept that imperfection is part of being human，and when we can continue rollingthrough life andappreciate it，we will have achieved a wholeness that others can only aspireto.That，I believe，is what God asks of us not "Be perfect"，not "Don't even make amistake"，but "Be whole."If we are brave enough to love，strong enough to forgive，generous enough to rejoice inanother's happiness，and wise enough to know there is enough love to go around for usall，then we can achieve a fulfillmentthat no other living creature will ever know.从前有一只圆圈缺了一块楔子。

So I was overjoyed last year to hear that Bunnings was allowing dogs on a leash(皮带)- into their stores.But no sooner had the rule come in than it was quickly repealed(撤销). A little girl in Victoria had walked up to a Jack Russell in a store and been bitten(咬伤). That was it. No more dogs.I don't know the whole story. But here's what I have to say: dogs bite sometimes and kids are sometimes difficult to control.There is nothing I love more than a kid who wants to touch Jed. But what's even better is when they ask permission first.I was at my local dog park last week. It's huge, with an off-leash dog area to one side and a fenced-off kids' playground a good distance away. There was a family there that morning —parents and two young girls playing near the dog area. The elder girl started crying at the sight of Jed—" puppy! There a puppy! "Jed went right up and started licking(舔)her, which only made her cry louder.My dog was frightened and tried to get away. The little girl ran after him, shouting loudly. The parents did nothing; they just let their kid frighten my dog and then said I should have stopped him from licking her.While they had a choice to play elsewhere, I did not. So I had to walk Jed away."I just don't want to have to meet a dog when I go shopping," said one caller on a radio show yesterday. Look, I get that. But the thing is, I don't always want to have your kid kick the back of my seat for two hours on a plane.When I lived in the UK and the US, I couldn't walk through the stores without stopping to pat dogs.

the wholeness of life资料原文There is a wholeness about the person who has come to terms with his limitations, who has been brave enough to let go of his unrealistic dreams and not feel like a failure for doing so. There is a wholeness about the man or woman who has learned that he or she is strong enough to go through a tragedy and survive, she can lose someone and still feel like a complete person.中文翻译人生的完整性，在于接受自己的缺陷，勇敢地丢弃不切实际的幻想，并且不觉得这样做是失败的；人生的完整性，在于知道自己足够强大，可以承受人生的苦难，可以在失去一个人时仍然觉得自己是完整的。

If you have never experienced the danger of battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation…you are ahead of 500 million people in the world.If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a pla ce to sleep… you are richer than 75% of this world.If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in dish someplace…you are among the top 8% of the world’s wealth.If your parents are still alive and still married…you are very rare, even in the United Stated and Canada.Someone once said: What goes around comes around.So…Work live you don’t need the money.Love like you’ve never been hurt.Dance like nobody’s watching.Sing like nobody’s listening.Live like it’s Heaven on Earth.中文翻译如果你未曾经历过战争的危险、入狱的孤独、严刑的苦楚、饥饿的痛苦……那么，比起世界上５亿人来，你真是幸运多了。

生命的完整与完美英语作文The Wholeness and Perfection of Life.In the tapestry of existence, life presents itself asan enigmatic symphony, where the notes of joy and sorrow intertwine, creating a harmony that is both beautiful and profound. The pursuit of completeness and perfection within this earthly realm has been an enduring aspiration of humanity, yet its true nature remains elusive.As we traverse the labyrinthine paths of our lives, we encounter myriad experiences that mold our perceptions, shape our beliefs, and ultimately define our essence. We strive for fulfillment in our relationships, our careers, and our passions, believing that these external factorshold the key to our happiness. However, true wholeness and perfection cannot be found solely in the accumulation of material possessions or the attainment of worldly accolades.Instead, these qualities lie within us, in the depthsof our being, waiting to be awakened and embraced. They are the seeds of our true potential, the divine spark that resides in every human heart. To cultivate this inner harmony, we must embark on a journey of self-discovery and self-acceptance.Self-discovery involves looking inward, understanding our strengths and weaknesses, and acknowledging our unique place in the universe. It is a process of unraveling the complexities of our emotions, embracing our vulnerability, and fostering a deep sense of self-compassion. By accepting ourselves unconditionally, we lay the foundation for true inner peace and wholeness.Complementing self-discovery is the practice of self-acceptance. This involves recognizing and valuing our inherent worthiness, regardless of our past mistakes or perceived shortcomings. It is in the embrace of our imperfections that we discover our true beauty and power. Self-acceptance empowers us to navigate life's challenges with resilience and grace, knowing that we are worthy of love and respect, regardless of our circumstances.The pursuit of wholeness and perfection is not a destination but an ongoing journey. It requires patience, perseverance, and a willingness to learn from both our successes and our failures. Along the way, we may encounter obstacles and setbacks, but these experiences serve as opportunities for growth and transformation.Just as a diamond is polished through the friction of life's challenges, our souls are refined through the trials and tribulations we face. Each adversity we overcome strengthens our resolve, deepens our compassion, and brings us closer to our true selves.The realization of wholeness and perfection is not reserved for the chosen few but is accessible to all who are willing to embrace the fullness of their humanity. It is in the ordinary moments of our lives, in the laughter of children, the warmth of a loving embrace, or the beauty of nature, that we find glimpses of our true essence.As we cultivate self-discovery and self-acceptance, wegradually shed the layers of self-doubt and insecurity that have held us back. In their place, we cultivate a radiant inner glow that illuminates our path and inspires others. We become beacons of hope and beacons of possibility, demonstrating that wholeness and perfection are not abstract concepts but vibrant realities that can be embodied in our daily lives.The pursuit of a complete and perfect life is a noble endeavor. It requires us to look beyond the superficial and delve into the depths of our being. By embracing self-discovery and self-acceptance, we open ourselves to the possibility of living a life filled with meaning, purpose, and unwavering joy. May we all strive to unravel the wholeness and perfection that lies within us, for it is in the embrace of our true selves that we find truefulfillment and transcendence.。
