　　"I'm going to marry you one day." Beth said to her long time crush Jake. She wore her favorite blue teddy bear shirt. Her four-year-old blue eyes shined in the sun.

　　"No you're not,you're a girl." Jake said.

　　The California afternoon wind blew his light brown hair. Jumping off the monkey bars he laughed back to class.

　　Sitting alone and confused she didn't know what to do. Beth sat high on the monkey bars crying. How can her future husband just leave like that?

　　She was going to get him,but how? "I will not let him get away! I won't! I won't!"

　　15 years later:

　　"I love you,too,Jake." Hanging up the phone she caught her mom smiling. "What?"

　　"When is he coming in from France? He's been there for awhile." She sat down on her black leather couch. The house was made up of different Indian stuff. On the walls were different dream catchers. Her mother was a full blood Cherokee Indian. She passed away when Beth was eight.

　　"He has a lot of schooling to do right now. Maybe this Saturday."

　　Fixing her short overalls she thought of Jake. Who would have thought they were going to date when she turned five?

　　"Is he still living in Colorado?" Her mother Kay wore a white tank top with tan pants. And long blonde hair with pretty blue eyes. She was the most beautiful woman on Earth. And Beth is looking like her by the minute.

　　"Yeah,I hate having a long distance relationship." She plopped on a leather chair.

　　"It's ok baby,you know he loves you more than anything in this world. Love will keep you together."

　　Beth could not help but smile. Her mother is and will always be her best friend.

　　Jake sat in his hotel the school rented for him. School of law. He loved going overseas for everything. But he missed being with Beth. That hurt him the most.

　　Spending the lonely nights in the hotel made him think of how much it would hurt to spend the rest of his life without her in it.

　　Getting up off his bed he went into the bathroom. Watching his reflection in the mirror,all he could think about was Beth. He would leave Thursday,and get there Friday night.

　　Turning off the light he jumped into the cold bed. On a coffee table near his bed rested a frame with them in it. It was taken at a beach about two years ago. It was the best time of their lives.

　　It was Thursday morning and Beth waited for Jake's morning phone call. He would call at eight — it was ten.

　　Beth got out of bed and got her favorite blue tank top. She took off her shirt and screamed at the top of her lungs.

　　"What? What?" Her mother came rushing into her room. Staring at her naked daughter she saw the lump of her breast. "Does it hurt?"

　　Beth could only say "No." Looking at the lump,she cried in pain.

　　"Let's get you to the doctor."

　　"Ok,let me get dressed."

　　Shutting the door behind her,the room became silent. Shaking she put on her shirt,and ran out into the living room.

　　"Mom,where are my blue shorts?"

　　"In the dresser,second drawer."

　　Finishing getting dressed she hopped into her car. Her red mustang drove like a baby.

　　They waited for the doctor to come in. Beth could not begin to think she had cancer. As her mind drifted off her cell phone rang.

　　"Hello?" Her heart skipped a beat,hoping it was Jake.

　　"Hey,how are you?" He asked out of breath.

　　"Could be better. Why didn't you call me this morning?"

　　"Sorry,school got ahold of me today."

　　"Why are you out of breath?" Looking stunned she stared at her mother.

　　"I'm so sorry,he'll call back." Her mother gave Beth a hug.

　　The doctor came in,and greeted his self. "Hello. I'm Kevin Baker." He smiled while examining her breast.

　　It is well that young men should begin at the beginning and occupy the most subordinate positions. Many of the leading businessmen of Pittsburgh had a serious responsibility thrust upon them at the very threshold of their career. They were introduced to the broom,and spent the first hours of their business lives sweeping out the office. I notice we have janitors and janitresses now in offices,and our young men unfortunately miss that salutary branch of business education. But if by chance the professional sweeper is absent any morning,the boy who has the genius of the future partner in him will not hesitate to try his hand at the broom. It does not hurt the newest comer to sweep out the office if necessary. I was one of those sweepers myself.

　　Assuming that you have all obtained employment and are fairly started,my advice to you is “aim high”. I would not give a fig for the young man who does not already see himself the partner or the head of an important firm. Do not rest content for a moment in your thoughts as head clerk,or foreman,or general manager in any concern,no matter how extensive. Say to yourself,“My place is at the top.” Be king in your dreams.

　　And here is the prime condition of success,the great secret: concentrate your energy,thought,and capital exclusively upon the business in which you are engaged. Having begun in one line,resolve to fight it out on that line,to lead in it,adopt every improvement,have the best machinery,and know the most about it.

　　The concerns which fail are those which have scattered their capital,which means that they have scattered their brains also. They have investments in this,or that,or the other,here there,and everywhere. “Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.” is all wrong. I tell you to “put all your eggs in one basket,and then watch that basket.” Look round you and take notice,men who do that not often fail. It is easy to watch and carry the one basket. It is trying to carry too many baskets that breaks most eggs in this country. He who carries three baskets must put one on his head,which is apt to tumble and trip him up. One fault of the American businessman is lack of concentration.

　　To summarize what I have said: aim for the highest; never enter a bar room; do not touch liquor,or if at all only at meals; never speculate; never indorse beyond your surplus cash fund; make the firm’s interest yours; break orders always to save owners; concentrate; put all your eggs in one basket,and watch that basket; expenditure always within revenue; lastly,be not impatient,for as Emerson says,“no one can cheat you out of ultimate success but yourselves.”

　　Some of the greatest success stories of history have followed a word of encouragement or an act of confidence by a loved one or a trusting friend. Had it not been for a confident wife,Sophia,we might not have listed among the great names of literature the name of Nathaniel Hawthorne. When Nathaniel,a heartbroken man,went home to tell his wife that he was a failure and had been fired from his job in a customhouse,she surprised him with an exclamation of joy.

　　"Now," she said triumphantly,"you can write your book!"

　　"Yes," replied the man,with sagging confidence,"and what shall we live on while I am writing it?"

　　To his amazement,she opened a drawer and pulled out a substantial amount of money.

　　"Where on earth did you get that?" he exclaimed.

　　"I have always know you were a man of genius," she told him. "I knew that someday you would write a masterpiece. So every week,out of the money you gave me for housekeeping,I saved a little bit. So here is enough to last us for one whole year."

　　From her trust and confidence came one of the greatest novels of American literature,The Scarlet Letter.

　　Some people say that English teaching at college in China has proved to be successful Take College English Test as an example,more than four million students have taken it and the number is still increasing year by year. This means that increasing numbers of people are aware of the necessity and importance of English learning. What is more,large numbers of students who are competent in English are making their contributions to the county in all walks of life. Others,on the other hand,suggest that English teaching at college in China is a complete failure. They suggest that,on the whole,most graduates still can't communicate with native speakers properly in spoken English. Besides,they are incompetent in both translation and writing.

　　I think great progress has been made in English teaching at college in China over the past 15 years. Yet,there are still some problems. On the one hand,English teaching at college in China is still teacher centered,although the student centered approach has been advocated for years. The teacher dominates the class,leaving students little time to practice. On the other hand,English teaching at college in China is still test oriented. Passing College English Test has been regarded as a prerequisite for graduates to get jobs on the job market. So great emphasis is given on how to pass the tests rather than on how to develop the students' language skills. As a result,students do not have the language competence though most of them have passed College English Test.

　　Therefore,it is my strong feeling therefore that English teaching at colleges in China should go through some radical reform. Priority should be given to the development of the four language skills rather than to develop the skills in passing the examination.

　　When love beckons to you,follow him,though his ways are hard and steep. And when his wings enfold you,yield to him,though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you. And when he speaks to you,believe in him,though his voice may shatter your dreams as the north wind lays waste the garden.

　　For even as love crowns you so shall he crucify you. Even as he is for your growth so is he for your pruning. Even as he ascends to your height and caresses your tenderest branches that quiver in the sun,so shall he descend to our roots and shake them in their clinging to the earth.

　　But if,in your fear,you would seek only love’s peace and love’s pleasure,then it is better for you that you cover your nakedness and pass out of love’s threshing-floor,into the seasonless world where you shall laugh,but not all of your laughter,and weep,but not all of your tears. Love gives naught but it self and takes naught but from itself. Love possesses not,nor would it be possessed,for love is sufficient unto love.

　　Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself. But if you love and must have desires,let these be your desires:

　　To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night.

　　To know the pain of too much tenderness.

　　To be wounded by your own understanding of love;

　　And to bleed willingly and joyfully.

　　To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving;

　　To rest at the noon hour and meditate love’s ecstasy;

　　To return home at eventide with gratitude;

　　And then to sleep with a payer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips.

　　談到學習，不得不提及令很多同學頭疼的英語。雖然很多同學從小學就開始接觸英語，可總覺得單詞永遠只記住了單詞表中的前五個，如，abandon，頓時有種被英語拋棄了的感覺；語法永遠也分不清定從，名從跟狀從，啥是非謂語，啥是時態(tài)？哈，哥們，別問我語法，太傷感情；閱讀總是愛騙人，明明覺得看懂了，一做題目，全錯！有時沒看懂，卻迷迷糊糊的蒙對了一個，這是要鬧哪樣吶！聽力？呵，每次也就只能聽懂“”；而只有到寫作文的時候，我才深刻的認識到自己是一個多么內(nèi)斂含蓄的孩子，使勁擠了半天，也才擠出豆腐干那樣的篇幅。完型，好吧，說多了都是淚啊，再說下去，還能不能愉快的交流了？！

　　為什么英語如此難學？在我看來，這真的是一個誤會。英語首先是一門語言，掌握英語，無非就是字詞句。字詞，很簡單，背單詞咯。一天十個單詞，并不是個很艱難的任務(wù)，一年356天，就算從初中開始學英語，咱們到高考也學了六年，那也就是21900個單詞，高考要求的詞匯量是，對比一下便清楚的知道，用六年來備戰(zhàn)高考英語，怎么可能考不好！句，是指語法。隨便翻開一本語法書，需要重點掌握的語法點也就那么幾個：動詞的時態(tài)語態(tài)，情態(tài)動詞和虛擬語氣，非謂語，三大從句，主謂一致，倒裝語序和情景交際用語。六個大點，就算每年學一個，也完全能掌握的透透的了�。�

　　既然英語不難學，為什么很多學生還是很頭疼英語？那應(yīng)該如何學好英語呢？

　　首先，我們要有自信，不要害怕英語。世間事總是怕什么就來什么，遇見一個頭疼的問題，聰明人會選擇主動積極的面對，想辦法解決，因為逃避永遠解決不了問題。學的時候的痛苦是一時的，而學不到的痛苦卻是一輩子的。萬事開頭難，熬過了最艱難的時候，你便會發(fā)現(xiàn)，哇哦，英語也就那么回事兒嘛！

　　其次，學英語，最痛苦的莫過于背單詞吧�？偸潜沉送�，永遠也記不住的感覺。我個人非常不贊同拿著單詞表背單詞，這種方法太抽象生硬。詞匯本就是要運用的，所以在閱讀中積累單詞是最形象也是最深刻的。堅持每天五篇閱讀，五篇閱讀做完你會發(fā)現(xiàn)有幾個常常出現(xiàn)的單詞卻不認識，這時就需要查字典，了解它們。以后當你看見這幾個單詞的時候，你會想起你曾在某個閱讀中見過，想起那句話，很自然就會想起這些單詞的意思和用法了。閱讀常常是有故事情節(jié)的，咱們把一個個抽象的單詞放在有情節(jié)的閱讀中去記憶，一方面有助于記住單詞的詞義和用法，另一方面也培養(yǎng)了英語的語感和做閱讀的能力，一舉多得。

　　再次，如果遇到一個好的語法老師，你會發(fā)現(xiàn)語法真的很簡單！即便沒有遇見一個能把語法給你說透了的老師，那你就是你自己做好的老師。一個很好的辦法就是，各個擊破。拿回三本不同的語法書，定下任務(wù)，比如，這個禮拜，攻破非謂語。然后就把這幾本不同的語法書中的非謂語都看幾遍，去琢磨，想著自己是老師，如何才能提綱挈領(lǐng)的`歸納出什么是非謂語，怎樣才能用最簡單的方法跟別人講解非謂語，最后你會發(fā)現(xiàn)，在這過程中，非謂語已經(jīng)被你吃的透透的了！不信？那你試試看。

　　最后，對于聽力，自然是要多聽。學英語的都會一句話，Practicemakesperfect.學一門語言要有一個良好的語言環(huán)境，進行大量的正確標準的輸入，才能夠有正確的輸出，只有多聽，不斷的聽，就像聽歌一樣，有事兒沒事兒都聽著，營造一個語言環(huán)境，打好基礎(chǔ)后再有針對性的做一些練習，聽力不成問題。完型重點考查的就是詞匯搭配跟語法，按上述方法積累了大量的詞匯又學好了語法后，完型便不攻自破了。拿下作文也是同樣的道理。

　　總的來說，英語就是一個聽說讀寫的能力，而閱讀是基礎(chǔ)，是重中之重。在大量的閱讀中積累詞匯，培養(yǎng)語感，習慣英語的句式和表達方法，實乃一舉多得。凡事涉及到“積累”一詞，那便是一個長期堅持的結(jié)果，所以，再好的方法還得轉(zhuǎn)化為行動，踏踏實實的練習，長年累月的堅持，相信practicemakesperfect，我的英語我做主！

　　My grandparents believed you were either honest or you weren't. There was no in between. They had a simple motto hanging on their living-room wall: Life is like a field of newly fallen snow; where I choose to walk every step will show. They didn't have to talk about it--they demonstratedthe motto by the way they lived. They understood instinctively that integrity means having a personal standard of morality and ethics that does not sell out to expediency and that is not relative to the situation at hand. Integrity is an inner standard for judging your behavior.Unfortunately,integrity is in short supply today--and getting scarcer. But it is the real bottom line in every area of society.And it is something we must demand of ourselves.

　　A good test for this value is to look at what I call the Integrity Trial,which consists of three key principles: Stand firmly for your convictions in the face of personal pressure.

　　When you know you're right,you can't back down. Always give others credit that is rightfully theirs. Don't be afraid of those who might have a better idea or who might even be smarter than you are. Be honest and open about who you really are. People who lack genuine core values rely on external factors--their looks or status---in order to feel good about themselves. Inevitably they will do everything they can to preserve this facade,but they will do very little to develop their inner value and personal growth.

　　So be yourself. Don't engage in a personal cover-up of areas that are unpleasing in your life. When it's tough,do it tough. In other words,face reality and be adult in your responses to life's challenges.

　　Self-respect and a clear conscience are powerful components of integrity and are the basis for enriching your relationships with others.

　　Integrity means you do what you do because it's right and not just fashionable or politically correct. A life of principle,of not succumbing to the seductive sirens of an easy morality,will always win the day. My grandparents taught me that.
