Reading is a good thing, but we must pay great attention to the choice of books. It is true that we can derive benefits from good books. However, bad books will do us more harm than good.
如众所周知，书籍教我们学习人生，真理，科学以及其它许多有用的东西。它们增加我们的知识，扩大我们的心胸并加强我们的品格。换句话说，它们是我们的良师益友。这是为什么我们的父母终是鼓励我们要多读书的理由。

When we felt tired, we returned home. We saw Mother (our mother) wait (waiting) for us at the door.

第七天：BE PATRIOTIC 要爱国
It is the duty of every citizen to make the country rich and powerful (To make the country rich and strong is...). In order to accomplish this object one must be patriotic (love his country). I consider this an unchangeable truth.
How can a student love his country (be patriotic)? I find my answer very simple and clear. He must study hard and store up knowledge so as to serve his (the) country in the future. If every student can do according to what I said, the country will certainly be rich and powerful.

第八天：THE VALUE OF TIME 爱惜时光
An English proverb says that time is money. I consider it (this) wrong. Why? Because we all know that we can earn money by work but can not in any way get back time (in anyway). For this reason, we may (can) say that time is more valuable than money.
Many people do not know the value of time. It (this) is indeed a great pity. We must bear (keep) in mind that wasting timeis equal towasting your life.
英国有句谚语说，时间就是金钱。我认为这是不对的。为什么？因为我们大家都知道我们能够用工作赚钱，但无论如何却无法把时间争取回来。基于此种理由，我们可以说时间比钱钱更宝贵。

The tea party began at half past six. There were cold drinks and refreshments. We ate, talked and laughed. We felt that we were the happiest men in the world.
Time passed quickly. In a twinkling, the clock on the wall struck nine. We could not but say ―Good-bye‖ to one another.

第十一天：HOW TO SPEND SUNDAYS 如何消度星期日
Some of us always spend Sundays aimlessly. We can seldom derive profits from the valuable hours (time) of Sundays. This is indeed a great pity. Though Sundays are set aside as a day for rest, we must make good use of them.
We know that our school lessons are usually not sufficient. We should often utilize Sundays to
read reference books. In this way we will increase our knowledge. Besides, we must be engaged in sports or outing so as to strengthen our bodies.
我们许多人终是把星期日毫无目的地消度掉。这确实是十分可惜。我们很少能从星期日的宝贵时光中获得益处。虽然星期日是被指定为一个休息的日子，但是我们却应好好利用它。 我们知道我们学校的功课通常是不够的。我们应时常利用星期日来阅读参考书。如此我们的知识就会增加了。此外，我们必须从事运动或郊游以便强壮我们的身体。
第十二天：HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY 诚为上策

There is no enumerating the evils of dishonesty here. In a word, a dishonest man will be looked down upon by others and (be) regarded as a public enemy.
英国有一句谚语说“诚为上策”。它说明了诚的重要性。
诚的益处是什么？如果你对他人诚实，他们也会对你诚实作为报答。当你忧悉的时候，他们会安慰你。当你是处在困难中的时候，他们会帮助你。
无法在这里数述不诚实的害处。一言以蔽之，一个不诚实的人会被人看轻的而且被看作为一个公敌。
第十三天：HOW EXERCISE HELPS 运动的利益
If our bodies are not strong, our spirit to do things will certainly be quite dull. And at the same time, we are lack of energy (ies) to study. Diseases will only attack the weak, but not the strong. Why are our bodies not strong? Because we do not pay attention to exercise. For this reason, we students must often take different kinds (sorts) of exercise in the gym.
Exercise helps us (to) strengthen our bodies and avoid disease. It also teaches us cooperation, for most exercise is played by team.
如果我们的身体不强壮，我们做事的精神一定会十分迟钝。而且同时，我们也缺少足够的精力来读书。疾病只为侵击体弱的人而不是强壮的人。

In the second place, traveling is good to our health. While we are traveling, we usually exercise our bodies.
In conclusion, I earnestly hope that everybody must seize (grasp at) the opportunity of traveling. 我对旅行终是感觉有趣。我的理由非常简单时了。如果任何人对我的观点不满意的话，我将对他的想法会大大吃惊。
旅行增加我们的知识。只有藉旅行我们可以看到我们故乡以外的东西。
旅行对我们的健康有益。当我们旅行的时候，我们通常运动我们的身体。

My aim is to become a good citizen so as to be able to render service to the (my) country. However, to become a good citizen is not an easy thing. He has many duties to fulfill.
The first duty of a good citizen is to love his country. He is to (must) be ready to sacrifice even his own life for the country.
His second duty is to obey the law and help the government (to) maintain order. If everybody can do so, the country will be rich and strong(powerful).

尊敬国旗是每个公民的责任（义务）。为什么？因为国旗是国家的象征。尊敬它意思就是尊敬国家。换句话说，如果一个人爱国，他必须爱国旗。

第十七天：THE IMPORTANCE OF EDUCATION 教育的重要性
It is impossible for us to make our country rich and strong without developing education. Why? Because education gives people knowledge and teaches them how to become good citizens so as to be able to serve their country. No wonder they say that education decides the progress, prosperity and civilization of a country.
At present (Nowadays) most countries in (of) the world are enforcing compulsory education. It is necessary for all kinds of people, both rich and poor, to receive education. Taiwan is an exception as well not.
我们不可能使我们的国家富强而不发展教育。为什么？因为教育给予人民知识并教他们如何成为好公民以便能为国家效力。难怪，有人说教育决定一个国家的进步，繁荣与文化。 现在世界大多数的国家都在实施强迫教育。所有各类人民不论贫富都必须接受教育。台湾也不例外。
第十八天：INDUSTRY (DILIGENCE) 勤勉
It is a matter of course that industry will bring us success, wealth and good luck. I am sure that a hard-working person can always succeed in the work which he wants to do. This is unchangeable truth.

On the Chinese calendar every year has an animal's name. These animals are the rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, ram, monkey, rooster, dog and pig. A Chinese legend says that these twelve animals had a race. The first year was named after the rat, the winner. The other eleven years were named according to the order in which the animals arrived in the race. The clever rat jumped onto the ox's back, and then at the end jumped over the ox's head to arrive first!
The Chinese believe that a person born in a particular year has some of the characteristics of that animal.

三、Brothers and Sisters
My sister is a year older than me and we've been sharing a room since I was 3 years old. We are very close, but we also fight all the time. Our fights are never serious. I can't remember the cause of our fights now, but they were always over small things. Sometimes it was just over a particular word I used or maybe just because my sister gave my teddy bear a hug and I was unhappy about it. We don't take our fights very seriously as if all the fights are a game. I think it's perfectly okay for kids to fight with their brothers or sisters. Now I'm a teenager, and I even think that they're sweet memories!

Already at the end of his patience the salesman was afraid that she might change her mind again so he tried to flatter her: "An excellent choice, madam. You look at least ten years younger with this hat on!" To his dismay, the lady took off her hat at once and said: "I don't want a hat that makes me look ten years older as soon as I take it off. Show me some more hats!"
买帽子
一位妇女到一家帽子店买帽子。她很挑剔，用了很长时间才选好了一顶。已经忍耐到极限的售货员害怕她再改变主意，便恭维她："你做了极好的选择，夫人。你戴上这顶帽子看上去起码年轻十岁！"但令他沮丧的是，这位女士马上摘下了她的帽子说："我不想要一顶摘下来便使我立刻显得老十岁的帽子。多拿一些帽子给我看看！

How to Find Happiness Without Buying It
如何不花钱就能找到乐子
Our materialistic society has led us to believe that happiness cannot be obtained without having money.
在这个物质社会，我们深信没有钱就没有幸福感。
Rather than learning to be satisfied with what we have, we are taught to want more. We learn from advertising, and from the media, that we need to buy trinkets and toys in order to make ourselves happy, or to fulfill emotional needs, and that the purchases they are trying to talk us into will provide us with the psychological comfort we are looking for.
我们不断的奢望得到更多而不是学着满足我们现有的。通过广告和媒体，我们了解到为了让自己开心，为了满足心理需求，我们需要买一些小玩意儿和玩具，仿佛买了这些东西我们就能找到一直想要的心理安慰。
Unfortunately, as a society we have bought into these misguided messages and have come to believe that spending money on certain items will bring us fame, fortune, happiness, beauty, or popularity. We end up using money as a crutch to provide us with something we ultimately must find within ourselves. As we become caught up in this charade, we trade precious hours of our lives trying to earn the money we have been taught to covet so much.
不幸的是我们还是会被这些信息误导并且开始相信花钱买一些东西会带给我们带来声誉，运气，快乐，美丽或者名气。我们不断拿金钱作为靠山，得到最终想要的东西。一次一次我们深陷其中，于是，为了买到我们垂涎已久的东西，我们用宝贵的时间辛苦赚钱。 We trade hours of our lives working, sacrificing time that could have been spent with our families, for the pursuit of the almighty dollar.
我们把生命中的每时每刻拿来工作，牺牲我们本该和家人在一起的时间，只为了追求万能的美元。
In order to find true happiness, we first must learn to change our attitudes about money. We must learn that money, and the spending of it, provides only a temporary relief but does not present us with any real long lasting benefits. We end up owning something we either do not really want or do not really need, and the underlying emotional issues remain.
为了找到真正的快乐，我们必须首先改变对待金钱的态度。我们必须要知道花掉挣到的钱只是让我们暂时舒坦，却并不能带来任何持久的利益。最后我们拥有一些实际上我们根本不想要或根本不需要的东西，而内在的情感问题依然没有解决。
Rather than focus on the temporary satisfaction you may feel from spending money, try the following to bring you happiness without it.
与其通过花钱让自己得到一时的满足感，不如试试下面几招让你不用花钱买就感到快乐：
Imagine Having no Money
假想自己分文没有
Imagine what you would do for happiness if you had no money at all. Think about how you would spend your time, and what you would do for enjoyment. Change your focus from material possessions to other things that bring you enjoyment, such as spending quality time with your family and friends. Rather than focusing on the accumulation of possessions, concentrate instead on playing with or reading to your children, or spending time out enjoying nature.
想象一下如果你一分钱没有做什么会感到快乐。想一下没钱的你将如何打发时间，如何
找乐子。把焦点从物质层面的东西转移到能让你快乐的其他事上，比如，陪家人朋友一起度过休闲时光。多和你的孩子玩耍或者给孩子朗读或者出去亲近大自然，而不是专注于积累财富。
Want What you Already Have
满足你所拥有的
Society teaches us to want what others have. Instead, shift your thinking so that you are satisfied with, or want, what is already yours. What tends to happen is once we reach our goals in terms of owning personal possessions, we trade those old goals in for a set of new ones that involves bigger, better, and grander objects.
社会教会我们追逐潮流，别人有什么，我们就追求什么。然而，我们不应该真这么做，而是对于我们已经拥有的东西感到知足。往往我们一旦达到目标就会制定一堆新的更大更好的目标。
Goals are good to have because they motivate us to work, and to continue to strive for self improvement. The key is to find a balance between having worthy goals and recognizing when we are allowing the desire for possessions to overwhelm the importance of other aspects of our lives. Rather than constantly striving for things we do not have, we need to shift our focus to being thankful for the things we already possess.
有目标是好的，因为目标让我们的工作更有积极性，让我们不断改进。而关键是我们要找到一个平横点，不仅能让我们的目标有价值，还要让我们不能因为对物质的欲望而忽视了生活其它方面的重要性。我们应该感谢那些我们已经拥有的，而不是不断追求我们没有的。 Volunteer Your Time
把你的时间贡献出来
One way to appreciate what you have is to work with others who have nothing, or who have disabilities that no amount of money can overcome. Volunteering time to work in a food bank, or to work with underprivileged children, can really alter your perspective on where you are in life, and can create a deeper appreciation for the gifts you do have in your life.
有一个办法让你珍惜拥有，那就是和那些一无所有的人或者那些身患残疾的人共事。做一名志愿者在食物银行（美国慈善机构）工作或者帮助贫困儿童，这样真的会让你有不同的生活感悟，让你深深的感谢上天赐予你的一切。
Helping others can boost your spirits as well. There is a great deal of personal satisfaction to be gained from giving aid to those who are in need of it, leaving you with a sense of satisfaction that will carry over into your own life. Use the experiences of helping others to teach your children compassion and civic responsibility.
同时，帮助他人是很高尚的品质。帮助那些需要帮助的人会让你有很大的满足感，也让你终生受益匪浅。这样，你可以用帮助过别人的经验去教育自己的孩子要有同情心和责任感。
There are a number of ways to enjoy life without the need for a great deal of money. Certainly, it is important to work and earn enough to provide for our basic needs and the needs of our families, but it is important to recognize when the desire for personal possessions becomes overly consuming. There needs to be a balance between a satisfying work life and a rich home life, and the best way to achieve such a balance is to ensure the drive for material possessions does not become all consuming.

How to quickly build a new social circle in any new city
如何在陌生的城市快速建立新的社交圈
Even if you are naturally shy, these three tricks will help you to quickly build a new social circle in any new city.
即使你天性腼腆，这三个小技巧也能帮助你在任何陌生的城市迅速建立新的社交圈．
1. Take Pictures
1．拍照片
One of the great things about taking pictures at an event or party is that it gives you an excuse to get in touch with the person later. Everybody loves seeing pictures of themselves, and it’s very easy after taking a picture to say “Are you on Facebook?” or “If you’d like I can email it to you.”
在活动或聚会时拍照片，最容易让你日后有理由与他人接触。人们都喜欢看到自己的照片，拍过照片后，你还可以很自然地问“你上Facebook吗？”，或问“我用电子邮件把照片发给你好吗？”
This can be the seed that leads to new connections. The next time you hear about a fun event email your new contacts to let them know about it.
这样能帮你建立新的联系机会。下次再听说有什么有趣的活动，你就可以发邮件给新认识的人通知他们。
2. Eat Alone In Public
2．独自在公共场所吃饭
If you don’t know anyone in a new city, it can be tempting to order take-out and retreat back to your lonely apartment or hotel room. Instead, try eating by yourself in public as often as possible.
如果在一座新城市你没有任何熟人，就可能情愿叫外卖，呆在自己的公寓或宾馆房间里。不要这样，要努力尽可能地独自到公共场所吃饭。
You might feel self-conscious eating by yourself but it has an important benefit: you are much easier to approach when you are alone. People may be afraid of interrupting you or being rude if you are in a conversation with someone else.
独自吃饭可能会使你感到不自在，但是那样做很有好处：单独的一个人比较容易接触。如果你正和别人谈话，人们可能会担心打断你们，或显得太鲁莽。
Bring a book or newspaper to read (this will make you feel less self conscious). Plus, having an interesting book with you will give others an excuse to start a conversation if they’ve read it.
带本书或报纸去看（这可以减轻你不自在的感觉）。另外，带一本有趣的书，也会给看过的人提供谈话的理由。
3. Join A Class, Sports Team, Or Club
3．加入学习班，运动队或俱乐部
Yoga, salsa dancing, volleyball, jogging, Toastmasters (a public speaking club), a class for work, martial arts, etc. Take up a new hobby or continue an old one!
瑜伽，萨尔萨舞，排球，慢跑，Toastmasters（公开演讲俱乐部），工作学习班，武术，等等。接受一项新的业余爱好，或继续原有的业余爱好。
These are all great places to meet new people, primarily because you will be forced to see the same people over and over again in the class. You will automatically make friends with them if you have a common interest and are forced to see each other again.
这些地方都是认识人的好地方，主要因为你被迫一次次地在班里看到同一群人。如果你们有共同的爱好，又被迫重复相见，就会很自然地交上朋友。
Bonus Tips:
额外提示：
* In the beginning, never turn down an invitation from someone, even if it’s something you wouldn’t normally do.
* 开始时，绝不要拒绝别人的邀请，即使那是你一般不喜欢做的事情。
* Email your new friends with fun things to do instead of always asking what their plans are. If they have a better plan you can always still drop yours and join them. This will help establish you as someone who is contributing value instead of just taking it (people want this in a friend).
* 给新朋友发邮件要说些有趣的事，不要总是问他们的打算如何。如果他们有个不错的计划，你可以谈谈你的想法，加入进去。这样有助于让别人看到你的价值，而不会仅仅是猜测（人们希望朋友是这样的人。）
* Don’t let little things in life piss you off or be a negative person. Others won’t want to be around you!
* 别为生活中的小事烦恼，或做悲观的人。别人不会愿意和这种人交往。
第三篇【英语短文】
10 Foods That Will Kill You!
要命的十种高危食物
You’re probably aware of all the foods that are good for you, like fresh fruits and vegetables, but do you know about the foods that can kill you? These unhealthy foods can lead to some serious health problems, especially if you eat them regularly. Want to know what they are? Well, keep reading!
你也许很清楚哪些食品对自己有益，比如各种水果和蔬菜，但你知道哪些食物是危害身体健康的吗？吃不健康食物能引发严重的健康问题，经常吃的话后果尤甚。想知道哪些是高危食物吗？好吧，继续往下看吧！
1. Fruit Juice
1.速溶果汁【英语短文】
A lot of shoppers think they are healthy when they purchase fruit juice, but these are actually very bad for the body. Not only are most made with artificial flavors and not any real fruit, they are packed full of sugar and other chemicals that can cause obesity and other serious health problems. Even real fruit juice is packed full of sugar that provides you with no nutritional value. It’s best to eat a piece of fruit instead of drink it, unless you’re juicing your own fresh fruits and vegetables at home.
十之八九的人在购买速溶果汁的时候都觉得它是健康产品，但实际上它却对身体百害无一益。多数果汁不仅是人造风味，而且不含真正水果，其中大量的糖分和其他化学剂会导致肥胖症和各种严重的健康问题。就算是货真价实的果汁也含有毫无营养价值的糖分。所以与其喝速溶果汁，还不如吃点水果，当然若是自己在家用新鲜果蔬现榨的就另当别论了。
2. Processed Meats
2.加工肉类
The chemicals that are inside of processed meats have been linked to colon cancer and many
other health problems. They are also packed full of sugar, salt and fat that can lead to obesity and diabetes. You’re always better off cooking your own meat from lean cuts and avoiding the processed meats all together.
加工肉类所含的化学成分会引发直肠癌和其他健康问题。其中同样含有大量导致肥胖症和糖尿病的糖分，盐类和脂肪。所以最好还是自己切点精肉来烹饪，切记不要和加过工的肉一起煮。
3. Energy Bars
3.能量棒
Energy bars are marketed as healthy snacks for people who want to lose weight and get fit. Unfortunately a lot of people don’t read the nutritional information on these bars in the first place. Many of them are made with a lot of sugar and fat, even though they are high in protein. You’re better off staying away from these and reaching for a natural snack, like almonds and cheese, instead.
对于想减肥和追求健康的人群来说，能量棒是贴了健康标签的小吃。很遗憾多数人在选择的时候都没有去注意能量棒的营养信息。多数能量棒都掺加了大量糖分和脂肪，就连高蛋白的也不例外。所以最好远离它，相反考虑考虑杏仁和奶酪之类的天然小吃。
4. Frozen Dinners and Lunches
4.冷冻餐点
Sure those frozen meals are convenient, but what price do you pay for that convenience? These frozen dinners, even those that are low in calories, are really high in sodium. They are also extremely processed, which means they really put your body through a lot of work in order to digest through your body.
冷冻餐点虽然方便，但为了这丝方便你付出了怎样的代价？冷冻餐点，即便卡路里含量低，但钠含量却相当高。它的工序繁多，这就意味着你的身体需要进行大量运作来消化它们。
5. Breakfast Cereals
5.早餐麦片
There are really only a few breakfast cereals on store shelves today that are actually good for you. Even those that are labeled “healthy” generally turn out to be packed full of sugar and fat. You might be surprised to find that most of the cereals you love have more sugar than your dessert does! On top of all of that, cereals are normally processed quite a bit and made with chemicals to make them seem “healthier” to the consumer.
如今市面上真正有益身体的麦片已零星点点。而那些打着“健康”旗号的麦片其实也添加了大量糖分和脂肪。当知道一般你钟爱的麦片所含糖分比甜点还多时，你可能会大吃一惊！除此之外，麦片通常经过了一系列的化学加工，以便在消费者眼里显得“比较健康”。
6. Doughnuts
6.甜甜圈
Speaking of breakfast foods, who doesn’t love a sugary doughnut when they are running late to start the day? Although they may taste good, these are a huge source of sugar, fat, trans fat and carbohydrates. In fact, just one of these fried treats is generally well over 300 calories. Since most people tend to eat more than one, this can lead to quick weight gain without even realizing it.
说起早餐食物，美滋滋的甜甜圈怎会不受赶时间一族的青睐呢？可甜甜圈味虽美，却含有大量糖分，脂肪，反式脂肪酸以及碳水化合物。事实上，仅一块油炸甜甜圈大概就有300多卡路里。但很多人不仅仅只吃一块，他们的体重会在无形中飙升。
7. Soda
1 Dogs
People often say that a dog is man's best friend. Over thousands of years, man has taught his dogs to do many kinds of work besides guarding the home. For example, sheepdogs are famous for their ability to control a flock of hundreds of sheep.
Dogs have been used to aid disabled people for centuries. A guide dog can lead its blind owner. Nowadays, dogs can be taught to turn on light switches, open refrigerator doors and dial the telephone for their disabled owners. For the majority of people, however, dogs are simply pets and friends for both young and old members of the family.

disabled 残疾人 century 世纪 guide dog 导盲犬 dial 拨 majority 大多数
狗
人们总是说狗是人类最好的朋友。几千年来，除了看家外，人类还教会了狗去做许多其他的事，例如，牧羊犬就因其可以控制数百只羊的羊群而出名。
狗用来帮助残疾人已有好几个世纪了。导盲犬可以为盲主人引路。现在，人们还教狗为残疾主人打开电灯、开冰箱和拨电话。然而，对于
大多数人来说，狗只是家里老人和孩子们的宠物和朋友。
