　　高中英語美文：選擇了美好，每日便能安眠

　　It’s quiet. It’s early. My coffee is hot.

　　The sky is still black. The world is still asleep.

　　The day is coming. In a few moments the day will arrive.

　　It will roar down the track with the rising of the sun.

　　The stillness of the dawn will be exchanged for the noise of the day.

　　The calm of solitude will be replaced by the pounding pace of the human race.

　　The refuge of the early morning will be invaded by decisions to be made and deadlines to be met.

　　For the next twelve hours I will be exposed to the day’s demands.

　　It is now that I must make a choice.

　　Because of Calvary, I’m free to choose.

　　And so I choose.

　　I choose love ...

　　No occasion justifies hatred;

　　No injustice warrants bitterness.

　　I choose love.

　　Today I will love God and what God loves.

　　I choose joy ...

　　I will invite my God to be the God of circumstance.

　　I will refuse the temptation to be cynical... the tool of the lazy thinker.

　　I will refuse to see people as anything less than human beings, created by God.

　　I will refuse to see any problems anything less than an opportunity to see God.

　　I choose peace ...

　　I will live forgiven.

　　I will forgive so that I may live.

　　I choose patience ...

　　I will overlook the inconveniences of the world.

　　Instead of cursing the one who takes my place, I’ll invite him to do so.

　　Rather than complain that the wait is too long, I will thank God for a moment to pray.

　　Instead of clenching my fist at new assignments, I will face them with joy and courage.

　　I choose kindness ...

　　I will be kind to the poor, for they are alone.

　　Kind to the rich, for they are afraid.

　　And kind to the unkind, for such is how God has treated me.

　　I choose goodness ...

　　I will go without before I take dishonest gain.

　　I will be overlooked before I will boast.

　　I will confess before I will accuse.

　　I choose goodness.

　　I choose faithfulness ...

　　Today I will keep my promises.

　　My debtors will not regret their trust.

　　My associates will not question my word.

　　My wife will not question my love.

　　And my children will never fear that father will not come home.

　　I choose gentleness ...

　　Nothing is won by force.

　　I choose to be gentle.

　　If I raise my voice may it be only in praise.

　　If I clench my fist, may it be only in prayer.

　　If I make a demand, may it be only of myself.

　　I choose self-control ...

　　I am a spiritual being.

　　After this body is dead, my spirit will soar.

　　I refuse to let what will rot, rule the eternal.

　　I choose self-control.

　　I will be drunk only by joy.

　　I will be impassioned only by my faith.

　　I will be influenced only by God.

　　I will be taught only by Christ.

　　I choose self-control.

　　Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.

　　To these I commit my day.

　　If I succeed, I will give thanks.

　　If I fail, I will seek His grace.

　　And then, when this day is done,

　　I will place my head on my pillow and rest.

　　高中英語美文：感激父母你所記得的一切

　　All you remember about your child being an infant is the incredible awe you felt about the precious miracle you created. You remember having plenty of time to bestow all your wisdom and knowledge. You thought your child would take all of your advice and make fewer mistakes, and be much smarter than you were. You wished for your child to hurry and grow up.

　　All you remember about your child being two is never using the restroom alone or getting to watch a movie without talking animals. You recall afternoons talking on the phone while crouching in the bedroom closet, and being convinced your child would be the first Ivy League college student to graduate wearing pullovers at the ceremony. You remember worrying about the bag of M&M's melting in your pocket and ruining your good dress. You wished for your child to be more independent.

　　All you remember about your child being five is the first day of school and finally having the house to yourself. You remember joining the PTA and being elected president when you left a meeting to use the restroom. You remember being asked "Is Santa real?" and saying "yes" because he had to be for a little bit longer. You remember shaking the sofa cushions for loose change, so the toothfairy could come and take away your child's first lost tooth. You wished for your child to have all permanent teeth.

　　All you remember about your child being seven is the carpool schedule. You learned to apply makeup in two minutes and brush your teeth in the rearview mirror because the only time you had to yourself was when you were stopped at red lights. You considered painting your car yellow and posting a "taxi" sign on the lawn next to the garage door. You remember people staring at you, the few times you were out of the car, because you kept flexing your foot and making acceleration noises. You wished for the day your child would learn how to drive.

　　All you remember about your child being ten is managing the school fund-raisers. You sold wrapping paper for paint, T-shirts for new furniture, and magazine subscriptions for shade trees in the school playground. You remember storing a hundred cases of candy bars in the garage to sell so the school band could get new uniforms, and how they melted together on an unseasonably warm spring afternoon. You wished your child would grow out of playing an instrument.

　　All you remember about your child being twelve is sitting in the stands during baseball practice and hoping your child's team would strike out fast because you had more important things to do at home. The coach didn't understand how busy you were. You wished the baseball season would be over soon.

　　All you remember about your child being fourteen is being asked not to stop the car in front of the school in the morning. You had to drive two blocks further and unlock the doors without coming to a complete stop. You remember not getting to kiss your child goodbye or talking to him in front of his friends. You wished your child would be more mature.

　　All you remember about your child being sixteen is loud music and undecipherable lyrics screamed to a rhythmic beat. You wished for your child to grow up and leave home with the stereo.

　　All you remember about your child being eighteen is the day they were born and having all the time in the world.

　　And, as you walk through your quiet house, you wonder where they went and you wish your child hadn't grown up so fast.

　　中文：

　　當(dāng)你的孩子是個(gè)嬰兒時(shí)，你所記得的，是你對自己創(chuàng)造出的堪稱完美奇跡的作品，感到不可思議的敬畏。你記得你有大量的時(shí)間去傳授你所有的智慧和知識。你認(rèn)為你的孩子將會接受你所有的忠告而少犯錯(cuò)誤，將會比孩提時(shí)代的你聰明許多。你多希望你的孩子快快長大。

　　孩子兩歲時(shí)，你所記得的，是從不能獨(dú)自使用衛(wèi)生間，從不看一部與動(dòng)物無關(guān)的電影。你記得那些蜷縮在臥室儲衣間跟朋友通電話的下午，深信你的孩子將是第一個(gè)身著套頭衫出席畢業(yè)典禮的常春藤名牌大學(xué)畢業(yè)生。你記得你擔(dān)心那袋M&M巧克力糖會在你的衣兜里融化，毀了你體面的衣服。你多希望你的孩子更獨(dú)立些。

　　孩子7歲時(shí)，你所記得的，是合伙用車的時(shí)間安排。你學(xué)會了在兩分鐘內(nèi)化完妝，照著汽車后視鏡刷牙，因?yàn)槟隳芙o你自己找出的時(shí)間就只有汽車停在紅燈前的那小段。你想過把你的車子漆成黃色，并在車庫門旁的草坪上立一個(gè)“出租車”的標(biāo)志牌。你記得有幾次你下車后，人們盯著你，因?yàn)槟悴粩嘤媚_踩油門加速，制造噪音。你多希望孩子有一天能學(xué)會開車。

　　孩子10歲時(shí)，你所記得的，是怎么組織學(xué)校的募捐者。你們?yōu)橹匦路鬯W(xué)校兜售包裝紙，為購置新家具兜售體恤衫，為在學(xué)校操場上種植遮陽樹勸人訂閱各種雜志。你記得你在車庫里存放了上百盒糖果等待出售，得到錢后學(xué)校的樂隊(duì)就可以購置新制服，可是那些糖果竟在一個(gè)暖和得過頭的春天的下午全都融化在一起了。你多希望孩子長大，不再演奏什么樂器了。

　　孩子12歲時(shí)，你所記得的，是孩子在體育場打棒球練習(xí)賽時(shí)，你坐在看臺上希望你孩子所在的隊(duì)很快三擊不中出局，因?yàn)榧依镞€有更重要的事等你去做。教練不明白你為什么那么忙。你多希望棒球賽季能盡快結(jié)束。

　　孩子14歲時(shí)，你所記得的，是他不讓你早晨把汽車停在校門口。你不得不開過兩個(gè)街區(qū)，車還沒停穩(wěn)就趕緊打開車門。你記得沒能在他的朋友面前跟他吻別或說話。你多希望孩子能更成熟些。

　　孩子16歲時(shí)，你所記得的，是吵鬧的音樂和以富有節(jié)奏的拍子尖聲唱出的難以聽懂的歌詞。你多希望孩子快點(diǎn)長大成人，帶著音響離開家吧。

　　孩子18歲時(shí)，你所記得的，是他們出生的那一天，擁有世間所有的時(shí)光。

　　當(dāng)你在靜靜的房子里走來走去時(shí)，你納悶他們?nèi)ツ睦锪?mdash;—你多希望孩子別這么快就長大了。

　　高中英語美文：如何平衡生命中的五個(gè)球

　　In a university commencement address several years ago, Brian Dyson, CEO of Coca Cola Enterprises, spoke of the relation of work to one’s other commitments:

　　Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air. You name them work, family, health, friends and spirit and you’re keeping all of these in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back.

　　But the other four balls family, health, friends and spirit are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered. They will never be the same. You must understand that and strive for balance in your life. How?

　　Don’t undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different that each of us is special.

　　Don’t set your goals by what other people deem important. Only you know what is best for you.

　　Don’t take for granted the things closest to your heart. Cling to them as they would be your life, for without them, life is meaningless.

　　Don’t let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past or for the future. By living your life one day at a time, you live ALL the days of your life.

　　Don’t give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.

　　Don’t be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect. It is this fragile thread that binds us to each together.

　　Don’t be afraid to encounter risks. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.

　　Don’t shut love out of your life by saying it’s impossible to find. The quickest way to receive love is to give it; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly; and the best way to keep love is to give it wings.

　　Don’t run through life so fast that you forget not only where you’ve been, but also where you are going.

　　Don’t forget, a person’s greatest emotional need is to feel appreciated.

　　Don’t be afraid to learn. Knowledge is weightless, a treasure you can always carry easily.

　　Don’t use time or words carelessly. Neither can be retrieved.

　　Life is not a race, but a journey to be savored each step of the way.

　　Yesterday is history, Tomorrow is a mystery and Today is a gift: that’s why we call it ‘The Present’.

　　幾年前，在一所大學(xué)的開幕典禮中,可口可樂的首席執(zhí)行官布賴恩·戴森講到工作與其他義務(wù)的關(guān)系：

　　想象生命是一場不停丟擲五個(gè)球于空中的游戲。這五個(gè)球分別為工作、家庭、健康、朋友和心靈，而且你很努力地?cái)S著這五個(gè)球，不讓它們落地。很快地你會了解工作是一個(gè)橡皮球。如果你不幸失手落下它，它還是會彈回來。

　　但是家庭、健康、朋友和心靈這四個(gè)球是用玻璃做成的。一旦你失手落下，它們可能會少了一角，留下無法挽回的記號、刻痕、損壞甚至碎落一地。它們將永遠(yuǎn)不會跟以前一樣。你必須了解這個(gè)道理，并且為平衡你的生命而努力。但要怎么才做得到呢?

　　別拿自己和他人比較，這只會降低了你原有的價(jià)值。因?yàn)槲覀兌际仟?dú)一無二的，因?yàn)槲覀兠恳粋€(gè)人都很特別。

　　別人認(rèn)為重要的事不一定是你的目標(biāo)。只有你才知道什么最適合你。

　　不要將貼近你的心的人、事物視為理所當(dāng)然的存在。你必須將他們視為你的生命一般好好地抓牢他們。沒有他們，生命將失去意義。
