Finally, I entered the institution. Because of my careful savings, I did not

have to work during the school year. Then, summer came and it was time

to work harder than ever. I continued working as a waitress at night,

instructed tennis camps several mornings a week and worked as a

secretary for a few hours in the afternoons. Being a little overzealous, I

also decided to take a class at a community college. This class at the

community college saved me $650. it was an exhausting summer and

made me anxious to return to my relatively easy life at college.During my

second and third years of undergraduate schooling, I decided to work

about five hours per week in the campus admissions office answering

phones. This provided a little spending money and kept me from draining

my savings. The overall situation looked hopeful as I approached my

senior year as long as I could make as much money as I had the previous

summer. I wanted to go to Israel to study for 3 weeks, but I hesitated in

making this decision because it would cost me $1,600 more to get the

credits in Israel. About two weeks later my Mom called to tell me that I

had $1,600 in the bank that I had forgotten about! One of my concerns

about this trip was not only the cost, but the loss of time to make money;

however, I made as much that summer in the ten weeks when I was at

home as I had made during the fourteen weeks when I was at home the

summer before. The way everything worked together to make this trip

feasible was one of the most exciting things that have ever happened to me. This experience has shaped me in many important ways. The first

thing that I learned was the importance of a strong work ethic. Working

long hours did a lot to mold my character and helped me learn the value

of a dollar. It also made me learn how to craft creative solutions to

difficult dilemmas. Whenever I am overwhelmed or afraid of the future, I

can remember my $64,268 miracle.

Competition

It is a plain fact that we are in a world where competition is going on in

all areas and at all levels. This is exciting. Yet, on the other hand,

competition breeze a pragmatic attitude. People choose to learn things

that are useful, and do things that are profitable. Today college education

is also affected by this general sense of utilitarianism. Many college

students choose business nor computing programming as their majors

convinced that this professions are where the big money is. It is not

unusual to see the college students taking a part time jobs as a warming

up for the real battle.I often see my friends taking GRE tests, working on

English or computer certificates and taking the driving licence to get a

licence. Well, I have nothing against being practical. As the competition

in the job market gets more and more intense, students do have reasons to

be practical. However, we should never forget that college education is

much more than skill training. Just imagine, if your utilitarianism is prevails on campus, living no space for the cultivation of students'

minds,or nurturing of their soul. We will see university is training out

well trained spiritless working machines.If utilitarianism prevails society,

we will see people bond by mind-forged medicals lost in the

money-making ventures;we will see humality lossing their grace and

dignity, and that would be disastrous.I'd like to think society as a courage

and people persumed for profit or fame as a horese that pulls the

courage.Yet without the driver picking direction the courage would go

straight and may even end out in a precarious situation .A certificate may

give you some advantage, but broad horizons, positive attitudes and

personal integrities ,these are assets you cannot acquire through any quick

fixed way.In today's world, whether highest level of competition is not of

skills or expertise , but vision and strategy. Your intellectual quality

largely determinds how far you can go in your career.

英语美文30 篇01-Youth

Youth 原文

Youth 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, aquality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.

Youth means a tempera-mental 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 spring back to dust.

Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being’s heart the lure of wonder,the unfailing childlike appetite of 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

Youth means a tempera-mental 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 spring back to dust. Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being’s heart the lure of wonder,the unfailing childlike appetite of 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, cheer, courage and power from men and from the Infinite, so long are you young. When the aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old, even at 20, but as long as your aerials are up, to catch waves of optimism, there is hope you may die young at 80. 名家译文 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。 青春气贯长虹，勇锐盖过怯弱，进取压倒苟安。如此锐气，二十后生而有之，六旬男子则更多见。年岁有加，并非垂老，理想丢弃，方堕暮年。 岁月悠悠，衰微只及肌肤；热忱抛却，颓废必致灵魂。忧烦，惶恐，丧失自信，定使心灵扭曲，意气如灰。 无论年届花甲，拟或二八芳龄，心中皆有生命之欢乐，奇迹之诱惑，孩童般天真久盛不衰。人人心中皆有一台天线，只要你从天上人间接受美好、希望、欢乐、勇气和力量的信号，你就青春永驻，风华常存。 一旦天线下降，锐气便被冰雪覆盖，玩世不恭、自暴自弃油然而生，即使年方二十，实已垂垂老矣；然则只要树起天线，捕捉乐观信号，你就有望在八十高龄告别尘寰时仍觉年轻。

Passage 1. knowledge and Virtue

Knowledge is one thing, virtue is another; good sense is not conscience, refinement is

not humilitynor is largeness and justness of view faith. Philosophy, however enlightened,

however profound, gives no command over the passions, no influential motives, no

vivifying principles. Liberal Education makes not the Christian, not the Catholic, but the

gentleman.It is well to be a gentleman, it is well to have a cultivated intellect, a delicate

taste, a candid, equitable, dispassionate mind,a noble and courteous bearing in the

conduct of life—these are the connatural qualities of a large knowledge; they are the

objects of a University.I am advocating, I shall illustrate and insist upon them; but still, I

repeat, they are no guarantee for sanctity or even for conscientiousness, and they may

英语美文摘抄 篇1

In my opinion, the schoolwork now being assigned to high school students

is too heavy. While it is true that students need to study, they need other things

as well if they are to grow into healthy and well-rounded adults. High should be

allowed more time for play. Playing is not wasting time, as some think. It gives

them physical exercise, and also exercises their imagination. Which tends to be

stifled by too much study. Finally, the pressure put on high school students by

excessive schoolwork can cause serious stress, which is unhealthy physically

and mentally. I do not advocate the elimination of schoolwork. I do think,

however, that a reduction of the current heavy load would be beneficial to

students and to the society as a whole.

我认为目前高中生的课业实在太重了，虽然说学生的确应当念书，但是要想长大成为健全的人，他门还需要一些其它的东西，所以应该给高中生较多从事娱乐的`时间。娱乐并不如某些人所想的，是在浪费时间，它可以让学生锻炼身体，发挥被繁重课业扼杀的想象力。最后，繁重的课业加诸在高中生身上的压力可能引起严重的情绪紧张，这对身心都有害。我并非主张废除学校课业，但是我认为减轻目前繁重的课业对于学生和整个社会都是有益的。
