2020年12月10日星期四 祝福早安 天气晴朗 气温8℃ 《每天读点英文小故事》 昨天晚上十一点多我在中国教育考试网报名了高中英语教师资格证的面试，一个月后的今天1月9-10号考试，希望我还能好好学习一下英语。让英语成为我生命的一部分，让英语成为我的一种生活方式。每天读点英语小故事，让人生变得美好一点点。 The More Loving One 美文赏析 Looking up at the stars, I know quite well That, for all they care, I can go to hell， But on earth indiference is the least We have to dread from man or beast. How should we like it were stars to burn With a passion for us we could not return? If equal afecton cannot be， Let the more loving one be me. Admirer as I think I am Of stars that do not give a damn， I can not, now I see them, say I missed one terribly all day. Were all stars to disappear or die I should learn to look at an empty sky And feel its total dark sublime， Though this might take me a litle tme. 词汇详解 1.equal[ˈiːkwəl]adj.相等的；平等的vt.比得上；等于 典型例句 Women demand equal pay for equal work. 妇女要求同工同酬。 最常用法 be equal to　等于 equal in　在……方面相等的 联想记忆 equally adv.相等地；同样地；平等地 unequal adj.不相等的；不平等的；不胜任的 equality n.同等；平等 2.admirer[əd'maɪərə]n.爱慕者；赞赏者；钦佩者 典型例句 He was an admirer of her grandfather’s paintngs. 他是她祖父画作的一个仰慕者。 联想记忆 admiration n.钦佩；赞赏 3.learn[lɜːn]v.学会；学习；得知 典型例句 I learned this news from the newspaper. 我从报纸上得知这个消息。 最常用法 learn to do sth.学做某事 learn about　获得，学得 learn from　向……学习；从……获得 learn……by heart　记住…… learn the truth　了解真相 联想记忆 learned adj.有学问的 study n.研究；学习　v.研究；学习 master vt.精通 参考阅读 让我们成为更有爱心的人 仰望群星的时分，我一清二楚， 尽管它们关怀备至，我亦有可能赴地府， 可是尘世间我们丝毫不必畏惧 人类或野兽的那份冷漠。 倘若群星燃烧着关怀我们的激情， 我们却无法回报，该作何感想？ 倘若无法产生同样的感情， 让我成为更有爱心的人。 尽管我自视为群星的崇拜者， 它们满不在乎， 现在我看群星，我却难以启齿， 说我成天思念一颗星星。 倘若所有的星星消失或者消亡， 我应该学会仰望空荡的天空， 同时感受天空一片漆黑的崇高， 虽然这样可能要花费一点时间。 Love What You Do, Do What You Love 美文赏析 Life is short. Are you doing what you love?Are you living your passion? If not, why?I am guessing most people will answer that queston with“I have three kids to support.”In the real world people have responsibilites. They have to make sacrifces.You aren't supposed to be happy with your job but you do it because you have to.” With all due respect, they are wrong. You can take care of your responsibilites and be happy with your job.We spend over 1/3 of our day, at least fve days a week performing our jobs.This is a lot of tme to be wastng on something we don't enjoy, is it not?Why not spend that tme doing something you truly are passionate about for 50 hours a week instead of something that lacks meaning? I think there is one main reason people don't follow their passion：fear. Fear of how others will react, fear of failure, and fear that they can't do it themselves.I think the frst part is for people to realize that they can conquer their fear.You will fail at tmes and others will think you are crazy at tmes, but if you believe that you will succeed than you fnally will. I understand that it is not easy. I am in the middle of going through it right now.But understand that there are other people out there who have been through what you are going through and can help you immensely.They have failed, been ridiculed, and come out on the other end extremely successful.They are living proof that you can do what you love. 词汇详解 1.love[lʌv]v.爱；热爱；喜欢n.爱；热爱；爱情；恋爱 典型例句 His love for science will never die. 他对科学的热爱永不会消退。 最常用法 fall in love（with）爱上 联想记忆 lovely adj.可爱的；令人愉快的；好看的 lover n.情人；爱好者 prefer vt.宁可；较喜欢 hate v.憎恨；厌恶；讨厌　n.憎恨；厌恶 2.main[meɪn]adj.主要的；最重要的 典型例句 The teacher asked me to note down the main points of the speech. 老师要求我把演说的要点记下来。 最常用法 the main idea　主要的想法；大意 联想记忆 mainly adv.主要地；大部分地 3.fail[feɪl]v.失败；没做成某事；缺少n.不及格；没做成 典型例句 He never fails to write to his mother every week. 他从来没有忘记每周给母亲写信。 最常用法 fail to do sth.未能做某事 fail in sth./doing sth.在……方面失败了 fail in sth.缺乏某物 联想记忆 failure n.失败；失败者 succeed v.成功 4.right[raɪt]adj.正确的；右边的adv.正确地；恰恰，完全地n.权力；右边 典型例句 She is the right girl for me；I need no one else. 她就是我要找的女孩，我不要其他人。 最常用法 all right　好；行 right now　立即 on the right　在右边 联想记忆 correct adj.正确的 wrong adj.错误的；有毛病的　adv.错误地 left adj.左边的　adv.向左　n.左边 参考阅读 爱你所做，做你所爱 人生短暂。你所从事的是你热爱的工作吗？你生活在激情中吗？ 如果不是，为什么？我猜想大部分都会以“我有三个孩子要养”之类的回答来搪塞这个问题。的确，在现实生活中，我们有自己的家庭责任，我们不得不做些牺牲，我们做着一些自己并不热爱的工作只因我们必须这样去做。 恕我直言，这一切并非正确。你可以兼顾你的责任，同时热爱你的工作。我们一天中要花去1/3的时间，至少一个星期5天去工作。如果不热爱这份工作，这确实是一笔很大的时间浪费，不是吗？为什么不能用这宝贵的时间，一星期50个小时去做让你激情洋溢的事情呢，而不是对你来说缺少意义的工作。 我认为有些人之所以不去追求他们的梦想有一个主要的原因：恐惧。他们惧怕他人的指指点点，惧怕失败，惧怕没有能力完成他们的梦想。我认为第一步人们应该去战胜恐惧。有时我们会失败，有时别人也会觉得你有些疯狂，但只要你坚信你能够成功，那么你最终必将成功。 我理解这做起来并不容易。其实，我也正在克服追求我的梦想过程中的恐惧。但我们相信有些人已经从这个恐惧中坚强地走了出来，并愿意帮助我们。他们曾经失败过，被嘲笑过，但他们走向了胜利的彼岸。这些人的故事正是“你能做你所爱”的真实而有力的证据。 Do you like surprises? Sure, there are‘bad'surprises, like a sudden quiz given by your teacher or an unexpected bill. Those are no fun. But there are also nice surprises. Have you ever had a surprise party?Didn't it feel great to be surprised by all your friends and family?Especially when you thought they'd forgoten your birthday. Have you ever given someone a gift, and that person wasn't expectng it at all?What kind of look did that person have on his face?It probably looked like complete happiness. How about a surprise phone call? Right out of the blue…… Those are the best surprises. Have you ever called someone for no particular reason—just because you wanted to hear that person's voice or because you wanted to recall old tmes?Or because you wanted to say“Hi”. Those are some of the surprises that I like the most. A surprise like a party or a gif or a phone call that is unexpected somehow feels beter than you were expectng. I wonder why that is. I try to surprise my family sometmes. I bring my wife flowers or give something to my children. You should see the looks on their faces.And that makes me happy, too. You should surprise people. You'll probably make their day, and it might make your day, too. 词汇详解 1.sudden[ˈsʌdn]adj.突然的n.突发之事 典型例句 The sudden arrival of guests forced her to change her plans. 客人们的突然到来迫使她改变了计划。 最常用法 all of a sudden　突然地 联想记忆 suddenly adv.突然地 2.particular[pərˈtɪkjələr]adj.特定的；专指的；特殊的；特别的；挑剔 的n.详情；细节 典型例句 I have nothing partcular to do this evening. 今晚我没有什么特殊的事要做。 最常用法 a particular customer　挑剔的顾客 be particular about　对……过于讲究 in particular　尤其，特别 联想记忆 particularly adv.特别；尤其；详细地 especial adj.特别的；特殊的；特有的 special adj.特别的；特殊的；专门的 unique adj.独特的；独一无二的 3.voice[vɔɪs]n.声音；嗓音；意见vt.表达 典型例句 The workers want a voice in management decisions. 工人要求在管理决策上有发言权。 最常用法 raise one’s voice　提高某人的说话声调 give voice to　表示…… in a low voice　低声地 in a quiet voice　平静地（说） with one voice　异口同声地，一致地 联想记忆 sound n.声音 noise n.嘈杂声 4.look[lʊk]v.看；寻找；显得n.看；样子；脸色；表情 典型例句 He turned on the torch to look for his keys. 他打开了手电筒，寻找钥匙。 最常用法 have a look　看一看 look after　照料；看管；目送；关注；找，寻求 look at　看，注视 look for　寻找；寻求；期待 look out　注意，留神 联想记忆 see v.看见；明白；了解；经历；设想　n.主教教区；主角 权限 watch v.注视；看守；观看　n.手表；监视；看守；值班 notice vt.注意；留心；通知　n.通知；注意；布告 appearance n.出现；露面；外貌；外表；出场 expression n.表情；表示；表达；词句；措辞；表现；挤压 As you get older, it feels like tme tends to move faster. We tend to fall into familiar routnes as we age and that makes tme move quickly. We perceive time as something like a stack of memories, so the less new experiences you have, the less likely you are to fill in those memories with interestng things. Time does go by（or, more accurately, it feels as if tme is going by）more quickly, the older we get. In the frst few years of our lives, anything we sense or do is new, and many of our experiences are unique, so they remain frmly in our memories. But as the years go by, we encounter fewer and fewer new experiences—both because we have already accomplished a lot and because we become slaves to our daily routnes. What can we do about this?Maybe we need some new app that will encourage us to try out new experiences, point out things we've never done, recommend dishes we've never tasted and suggest places we've never been. This could make our lives more varied, drive us to try new things, slow down the lesson of tme and increase our happiness. Untl such arrives, try to do at least one new thing every week. It's not too difcult to push yourself to do new things. 词汇详解 1.encourage[ɪnˈkʌrɪdʒ]vt.鼓励；促进；支持 典型例句 Her success encouraged me to try the same thing. 她的成功鼓励我尝试做同样的事。 最常用法 encourage sb.（to do sth.）鼓励某人（做某事） 联想记忆 courage n.勇气；胆量 encouraging adj.令人鼓舞的 encouraged adj.被鼓励的 encouragement n.鼓励；激励 discourage vt.使泄气 2.point[pɔɪnt]n.观点；重点；点；地点v.指；指向；朝向
