The first day of school our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn't already know.I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder.I turned around to find a wrinkled，little old lady beaming up at me with a smile that lit up her entire being.She said，“Hi handsome.My name is Rose.I' m eighty－seven years old.Can I give you a hug？”I laughed and enthusiastically responded，“Of course you may.”and she gave me a giant squeeze.

　　科学家发现，那些睡觉时梦境连连的人们，醒来时记忆力和关联事物的能力都会显著增强。

　　But recharging with a shallow nap offers no such mental boost, the research suggests.

　　但同时该研究显示，如果仅仅是打个小盹，不会对脑力产生如此奇效。

在这个世界上，我最不愿意做的事就是伤害你，但是这件事仍在我的考虑之列。

我真不想伤害你，但你也别逼我。

2.Politicians and diapers have one thing in common. They should both be changed regularly, and for the same reason.

政客和纸尿布有一个共同点就是：他们都很有规律地被替换，而且因为同一个理由——脏了！！

3.War does not determine who is right – only who is left.

战争不能决出正义，但能判出哪方出局。

4.A bus station is where a bus stops. A train station is where a train stops. On my desk, I have a work station.

公车站呀公车停。火车站呀火车停。俺桌上有个工作站…

If sweet temptation has you struggling to stick a new diet, this guide will fend off those hunger pangs and get you back on track.

如果甜食使你不得不坚持新的节食，下面的指导会让你避开饥饿的煎熬，而让你重新步入正轨。

1、You know — one loves the sunset, when one is so sad…

你知道的——当一个人情绪低落的时候，他会格外喜欢看日落……

2、If someone loves a flower, of which just one single blossom grows in all the millions and millions of stars, it is enough to make him happy just to look at the stars. He can say to himself, “Somewhere, my flower is there…” But if the sheep eats the flower, in one moment all his stars will be darkened… And you think that is not important!

倘若一个人对一朵花情有独钟，而那花在浩瀚的星河中，是独一无二的，那么，他只要仰望繁星点点，就心满意足了。他会喃喃自语：“我的花就在星河的某个角落……”可是，这花一旦被羊吃掉了，一瞬间，所有星星都将随之黯淡无光……那你也认为这不重要吗？

问问你自己：我幸福吗？我认为幸福的本质是什么？它跟痛苦，付出有关系吗？如果娱乐和快乐等同于幸福的话，那么痛苦必然等同于不幸福。可事实正相反：导致幸福的一切常常蕴含着些许痛苦。

I live in Hollywood. You may think people in such a glamorous, fun-filled place are happier than others. If so, you have some mistaken ideas about the nature of happiness.
我住在好莱坞。你可能认为住在这样一个魅力四射、充满欢笑的地方要比其他人更幸福。倘若如此，你就误解了幸福的本质。

The Year's at the Spring ! --一年之计在于春

Robert Browning --罗伯特·勃朗宁

The year's at the spring

And day's at the morn;

Morning's at seven;

The hill-side's dew-pearled;

The lark's on the wing;

The snail's on the thorn:

God's in his Heaven --

All's right with the world!

正值一年之春，

又逢一日之晨；

晨光走到了七点；

山腰挂着露珠；

云雀展翅高飞；

蜗牛爬上了荆棘:

上帝在自己的天堂里——

尘世间一派井然！

第一首:

Christmas is a holiday for friends,
However they may be, or not, related.
Remember that the three wise kings were strangers
In search of one remote, uncanny dream.
So may we all be far more than we seem,
Together bound for dark and haunting changes,
More lovely for the loves we have created
Along the lonely paths from means to ends,
Stumbling towards that star of Bethlehem.

第二首:

when Christmas comes to town

享受冬季Enjoy the Winter
Welcome to the most easily misunderstood season of all, winter, a beautiful season of intimacy and reflection.

Winter gives us the opportunity to stay inside and look outside, as we're not called outdoors to enjoy the warmth and sunshine. Snuggle up in the sofa, put a blanket over you, have a cup of hot cocoa, and enjoy the observations on this precious season…

    On the first day of lunar， the young generation congratulates the old generation with “Happy New Year！”
