高中生英語美文篇1
The day I become a mom 那天 我成為一位母親
The day I became a mom was not the day my daughter was born, but seven years later. Up until(一直到) that day, I had been too busy trying to survive my abusive(辱罵的，濫用的) marriage. I had spent all my energy trying to run a "perfect" home that would pass inspection each evening, and I didn't see that my baby girl had become a toddler(學步的小孩) . I'd tried endlessly to please someone who could never be pleased and suddenly realized that the years had slipped by(飛掠而過) and could never be recaptured.
Oh, I had done the normal "motherly" things, like making sure my daughter got to ballet and tap and gym lessons. I went to all of her recitals(背誦，朗誦) and school concerts, parent-teacher conferences and open houses - alone. I ran interference(干涉，沖突) during my husband's rages(狂怒，兇猛) when something was spilled(溢出，濺出) at the dinner table, telling her, "It will be okay, Honey. Daddy's not really mad at you." I did all I could to protect her from hearing the awful shouting and accusations(控告，指責) after he returned from a night of drinking. Finally I did the best thing I could do for my daughter and myself: I removed us from the home that wasn't really a home at all.
That day I became a mom was the day my daughter and I were sitting in our new home having a calm, quiet dinner just as I had always wanted for her. We were talking about what she had done in school and suddenly her little hand knocked over(打翻，撞倒) the full glass of chocolate milk by her plate. As I watched the white tablecloth and freshly painted white wall become dark brown, I looked at her small face. It was filled with fear, knowing what the outcome of the event would have meant only a week before in her father's presence. When I saw that look on her face and looked at the chocolate milk running down the wall, I simply started laughing. I am sure she thought I was crazy, but then she must have realized that I was thinking, "It's a good thing your father isn't here!" She started laughing with me, and we laughed until we cried. They were tears of joy(喜極而泣) and peace and were the first of many tears that we cried together. That was the day we knew that we were going to be okay.
Whenever either of us spills something, even now, seventeen years later, she says, "Remember the day I spilled the chocolate milk? I knew that day that you had done the right thing for us, and I will never forget it."
That was the day I really became a mom. I discovered that being a mom isn't only going to ballet, and tap and gym recitals, and attending every school concert and open house. It isn't keeping a spotless house and preparing perfect meals. It certainly isn't pretending things are normal when they are not. For me, being a mom started when I could laugh over spilled milk.

Just friends 僅僅是朋友
If ever(假如，要是) the scene had been set, this was it.
A week in Paris. He is strikingly(顯著地，突出地) handsome with his classic Californian good looks and a smile that could melt butter, and I am probably at my physical peak, with wavy brown hair, bright blue eyes, and curves that could stop traffic.
Neither of us knew what to expect. After meeting on a humanitarian aid(人道主義援助) trip in Central America, there was clearly a connection between us that we had neither time nor opportunity to explore. The fact that he moved to Europe the day after our return left us to continue building our relationship online through email and chat.
So as I flew across the Atlantic to visit him during my vacation, the possibilities ran wildly through my head. Friends at home had inundated(淹沒) me with notions that Paris is the city of love, and we would be fools not to be swept away. Pessimism(悲觀) reared its head, too, taunting(嘲弄，譏諷) that I didn't really know this man, and for all I knew he was actually a monstrous human being I would be stranded(擱淺) with for a week.
However, from the time I stepped off of the metro(地鐵，大都市) and jumped into his arms until the moment we tearfully said goodbyes at the same station, all speculation was forgotten and the natural flow of "us" prevailed(盛行，戰(zhàn)勝) .
There were no impassioned kisses or nights of passion. But there were hours of conversation under the glow of the Eiffel Tower. Barrels of laughter over inside jokes that will never makes sense to anyone but us. Tears over the deepest secrets and pains of our hearts. Comfortable silences that can only happen in the peace of trust. Speculation over the future, our dreams and fears. Confession of our fears and failures. And reassurances(使安心) that we see each other beyond the facade(正面，表面) and to the truth.
And as I returned to anxious friends waiting to hear stories of scandalous(誹謗性的，可恥的) Parisian rendezvous(約會) , there seemed to be some hint of disappointment. No excitement, no scandal, no drama. As though(好像，仿佛) I had missed out on something.
Although our relationship did not progress or digress(離題) as I imagined or feared, I couldn't have written a more perfect story. No, I didn't walk away with(順手帶走，輕易獲得) a lover, but I now have a friend who is dear to my heart. Who I shared an amazing week with, who holds many of my precious memories, and who knows me and loves me. How could I hope for more?
One moment that resonates(共鳴，共振) with me is of my last night in Paris.
Exhausted from a full week and dreading my departure the next morning, we collapsed onto the bed and looked at each other. His bright blue eyes softly pierced mine with a reassuring knowledge that he knew me, and I knew him, and this was good. As we lay there, I knew that this was right, and what was meant to grow between us had.
"Just friends" is not a disappointment. Sometimes it's exactly what you need.

Roadside inferno 火海救援
Looks like a brush fire(灌木叢火災), Kim Cooper thought as she spotted an orange glow ahead on Interstate 75. It was near dusk(黃昏) , and she and her husband, Steve, were trucking through northern Kentucky hauling(搬運，牽引) auto parts from Louisville to Detroit for a freight(貨運) company. Steve, 59, was fast asleep in the truck's living quarters as Kim, 52, drove up to the scene. That's when she saw it was much worse than a brush fire.
"Steve, wake up!" she shouted. "There's a truck on fire!" A big rig had tumbled down(破敗) an embankment(路堤) , and flames were crawling across its cab. Kim yanked(猛拉) their truck to the side of the road, and Steve pulled on(戴，穿) his clothes. Then he scrambled down the slope.
Inside the burning truck, Ronnie Sanders, 38, was fighting for his life. He'd been running a heavy load of tractors and forklifts(鏟車) from Georgia to Indianapolis when a Grand Caravan in front of him stopped suddenly in traffic on the icy road. As Ronnie bore down, he could see children in the backseat. The truck's bulk(體積，容量) would probably protect him from the worst of the impact, but the momentum of 23 tons would likely crush everyone inside the van.
"In Kentucky, the hills are steep, but at that moment, I didn't think about it," he says of that evening last November. "I figured instead of killing other people, I'd just put the truck in the ditch(溝渠，壕溝) ." He jerked(猛拉，痙攣) the wheel to the right, somehow keeping the truck upright as it plowed 60 feet down the embankment. At the bottom, rocks pierced a fuel tank, which ignited(點燃，燃燒) . A tree branch smashed through the windshield(擋風玻璃) and knocked Ronnie unconscious. He came to a couple of minutes later to find the cab in flames and his legs on fire.
Ronnie yelled for help as he struggled to escape. But the cab was smashed in, and try as he might, he couldn't untangle(清理，整頓) himself from his seat belt.
As Steve bolted down the slope, he could hear Ronnie's cries ahead. Then a thundering sound erupted behind him.
A Ford Taurus, which had lost control in the melee(混戰(zhàn)，格斗) above, had skidded off the highway and was now barreling down the slope directly at him. With no time to dive out of the way, he leaped upward and sailed over the car's hood.
The Taurus came to a halt close to the truck. Kim was already scrambling toward the car. Its passengers appeared shaken but unharmed as she helped maneuver(演習，調(diào)遣) the car away from the burning truck. Meanwhile, Steve dashed to Ronnie, who was dangling headfirst from the passenger door. Ronnie had used his pocketknife to cut himself free from the driver's-side seat belt only to get his boot ensnared(誘入陷阱) in another one. Steve climbed into the burning cab to free him.
"All that was going through my mind was, My God, I do not want to be here," Steve recalls. "It was so hot, I could hardly stand it."
He tried three times to pull Ronnie out before finally freeing him. But Ronnie's legs were still burning, so Steve laid him on the ground, ripped off his own shirt, and beat the flames with it. He'd managed to drag him about 20 yards when one of the truck's 150-gallon fuel tanks exploded.
"It was like a cannon(大炮) blast," says Steve. "The percussive(敲擊的，沖擊的) force hurt my chest. It just picked me up and blew me back." Fortunately, the explosion was aimed skyward.
Steve got up and peeled off(剝?nèi)?，脫? what was left of Ronnie's smoldering(悶燒，陰燃) jeans and held his hand while they waited for the ambulance, as Kim raced up and down the slope, grabbing wet towels and a blanket.
Both Steve and Ronnie paid a price for risking their lives for strangers. Ronnie spent two months in the hospital and received skin grafts(植皮手術(shù)) on both of his legs. He now wears compression garments(服裝，衣著) for his scars and gets physical therapy twice a week. "If Steve hadn't done what he did, I probably would have been toast(烘，烤) ," he says. Steve suffered smoke inhalation and minor burns, and shrapnel(彈片) from the explosion broke a tooth.
In February, the Coopers received a Hero of the Highway award from the Open Road Foundation for rescuing an injured driver. Steve insists Ronnie is the real hero: "If he hadn't gone into the ditch, he would have hit that van. It was his decision to drive off the road."
"I feel pretty good about it," says Ronnie. "A lot of people could have been hurt."
