One day the boy felt a little lonely and wanted to make fun of the farmerslaboring at the foot of the hill.

Balzac once said artistic creation was xxxan exhausting strugglexxx. He believed that only by tenacious work and fearing not afraid of difficulties could you show your talent. It was just like the soldiers the fortress, not relaxing your effort for even a moment.
巴尔扎克说过,艺术创造是“一场累人的斗争”。他认为,只有顽强地工作,不怕困难,才能把自己的才华表现出来。这就好像向堡垒冲击的战士,一刻也不能松劲。
Once Balzac wrote for hours on end, he was so tired that he could not hold out any longer. He ran to a friend's home and headlong on the sofa. He wanted to sleep, but he told his friend he must be woken up within an hour. His friend, seeing him so tired, did not wake him up on time. After he woke up, Balzac got very angry at his friend. his friend had an understanding of him and did not quarrel with him.
有一次,巴尔扎克一连写了好几个小时,累得实在支持不住了,跑到一个朋友家里,一头倒在沙发上。他想睡一觉,但他告诉朋友,一定要在一小时之内叫醒他。他的朋友见他非常疲惫,就没有按时叫醒他。他醒来后,对朋友大发脾气。幸好他的朋友很了解他,没有和他争吵。
Balzac did not smoke cigarettes, nor did he drink any alcohol. But he got one habit: while he was writing,he always drank very strong coffee that could almost his stomach. He didn't add milk, nor did he add sugar in his coffee. It would not satisfy him until it was made bitter. People generally did not like to drink such bitler coffee. That had strange effect to him, and could help him drive the sleepiness away, according to himself.
巴尔扎克既不抽烟,也不喝酒。但他有个习惯:当他写作的时候,总是呷着几乎可以使胃麻痹的浓咖啡。他的咖啡里既不如牛奶,也不加糖,要熬得发苦才满意。像这样苦的咖啡,一般人都不愿意喝。据他自己说,这样对他有奇异的剌激作用,可以驱走睡魔。

Its my honor to speak here and I am very glad to share my topic with all of you. Today Id like to talk about “my dream”. I do not just have one dream, in fact, I have three. They are: a healthy life, a happy family and to travel my great country.
I have always admired the long healthy life my grandparents have. They are older than 80 years of age and they are still alive and kicking! How do they do that!? My grandparents plant vegetables and grow rice themselves; even in their old age they still make food for themselves! I guess that is why they can remain healthy. More importantly they remain humble and never ask for too much from life. Perhaps that makes them common, but they live a happy life. My grandmother once told me this:” I do not want to live long, only long enough for some grand children to be running around in my house”. I want to live a long, healthy and happy life just as they have.
Since my graduation from primary school, until now, every time on my birthday I make the same wish. I wish my parents will not fight anymore. I am not complaining that they gave me a bad childhood, they just fight so much! I am unhappy but that does not mean they do not love me. They do! They love me with all their heart. I love my parents also; I want them to live a happy life as well.
I want to travel this great country of ours. I want to see the beauty of our country. I want to see the miracles that made this country great! I want to go from the east to west, from the north all the way down to the south! I have a dream, that one day I can travel and see my country with my family and friends! If that is not possible, seeing my country on my own is good enough also. If I can fulfill all three of my dreams in life, then God can take me away. I would be happy, and l would have lived a full and prosperous life.
Thank you everyone for listening to my dreams.

有一次,孟尝君率领众宾客出使秦国。秦昭王将他留下,想让他当相国。孟尝君不敢得罪秦昭王,只好留下来。不久,大臣们劝秦王说:“留下孟尝君对秦国是不利的,他出身王族,在齐国有封地,有家人,怎么会真心为秦国办事呢?”秦昭王觉得有理,便改变了主意,把孟尝君和他的手下人软禁起来,只等找个借口杀掉。

天亮了,秦昭王得知孟尝君一行已经逃走,立刻派出人马追赶。追到函谷关,人家已经出关多时了。
孟尝君靠着鸡鸣狗盗之士逃回了齐国。

It said to a turtle that lived in the East Sea, xxxI am so happy! When I go out, I jump about on the railing beside the mouth of the well. When I come home, I rest in the holes on the broken wall of the well. If I jump into the water, it comes up to my armpits and holds up my cheeks. If I walk in the mud, it covers up my feet. I look around at the wriggly worms, crabs and tadpoles, and none of them can compare with me. Moreover, I am lord of this trough of water and I stand up tall in this shallow well. My happiness is full. My dear sir, why don't you come often and look around my place?xxx
Before the turtle from the East Sea could get its left foot in the well, its right knee got stuck. It hesitated and retreated. The turtle told the frog about the East Sea. xxxEven a distance of a thousand li cannot give you an idea of the sea's width; even a height of a thousand ren cannot give you an idea of its depth. In the time of King Yu of the Xia dynasty, there were floods nine years out of ten, but the waters in the sea did not increase. ln the time of King Tang of the Shang dynasty there were droughts seven years out of eight, but the waters in the sea did not decrease. The sea does not change along with the passage of time and its level does not rise or fall according to the amount of rain that falls.
The greatest happiness is to live in the East Sea.xxx
After listening to these words, the frog of the shallow well was shocked into realization of his own insignificance and became very ill at ease.

海鳖左脚还没踏进井里,右腿已被井壁卡住了。于是,它在井边徘徊了一阵就退回来了,把大海的景像告诉青蛙,说道:“千里的确很远,可是它不能够形容海的辽阔;千仞的确很高,可是它不能够控明海的深度。夏禹的时候,10年有9年水灾,可是海水并不显得增多;商汤时,8年有7年天旱,可是海水也不显得减少。永恒的大海啊,不随时间的长短而改变,也不因为雨量的多少而涨落。这才是住在东海里最大快乐啊!”
浅井的青蛙听了这一番话,惶恐不安,两眼圆睁睁地好像失了神。深深感到自己的渺小。

An old woman having lost the use of her eyes, called in a physician to heal them, and made this bargain with him in the presence of witnesses:
That if he should cure her blindness, he should receive from her a sum of money; but if her infirmity remained, she should give him nothing.
This agreement being made, the physician, time after time, applied his salve to her eyes, and on every visit took something away, stealing all her property little by little.
And when he had got all she had, he healed her and demanded the promised payment.
The old woman, when she recovered her sight and saw none of her goods in her house, would give him nothing.
The physician insisted on his claim, and. as she still refused, summoned her before the judge.
The old woman, standing up in the court, argued: xxxthis man here speaks the truth in what he says; for i did promise to give him a sum of money if i should recover my sight:
But if i continued blind, i was to give him nothing.
Now he declares that I am healed. I, on the contrary affirm that I am still blind; for when I lost the use of my eyes, I saw in my house various chattels and valuable goods: But now, though he swears i am cured of my blindness, i am not able to see a single thing in it.xxx

Good morning, my dear teachers and friends!
As the saying goes: one minute on the stage takes ten years. If a person is very successful, not someone to give, not to fall from the sky. Is to rely on their own efforts, hard work. Can be mainly from the hard work of learning is not to doubt.
Each person#39;s ability is not born, but by their own hard work and come. For example, German mathematician, physicist and astronomer Gauss. He was very fond of learning from childhood, his life has made great contributions to science, but if he did not work hard to learn from his early age, he can not become a famous scientific giant. There is no achievement without hard work. There are a lot of examples of such examples, it can be said that every successful people have worked hard to learn, and strive to explore.
The key to learning is to learn and to dare to learn. If your desire is to be a person of honor and respect, but you are not willing to, or dare not to learn will ultimately be nothing. Madame Curie and her husband to radium to prove the existence of hardships, braving the danger may lose their lives, through their diligence and effort eventually extracted one tenth of a gram of pure radium chloride and accurately determined the atomic weight, confirmed the existence of radium. This is a very amazing fact. It was Mrs. Curie#39;s willing to do, do it confirmed the existence of radium. Therefore, in order to become a talented person, we must be willing to learn, dare to learn.
Some people say that those with the talent and achievement grew up as a child prodigy like us to have what Egypt the idea is wrong, they are genius, prodigy, not born, but from diligent study. Study hard is a genius, a prerequisite for child prodigy. By scientists, people are different in intelligence, but only a little difference. So, genius, prodigy is relying on people to learn and become the diligent.
Can come from diligent study, Newton, Einstein, Edison, Zheng Banqiao, Bai Juyi#39;s example can prove this point. There are many great men for the benefit of mankind, also made a great contribution. Such as the works of Li#39;s xxxcompendium of Materia Medicaxxx, he visited many places, through arduous efforts of 27 and wrote this masterpiece.
Dickens said that I have harvested, is my kind of under. Everyone has a chance to become a talented person, it is to see you go not to fight for this opportunity. Can come from diligence. We must work hard to as a middle school students, we should be more efforts.
Thank you!

Primitive peoples believe that hair, nail clippings, and lost teeth remain magically linked to the owner even after they have been disconnected from his body. As any voodoo artist will tell you, if you want to grind someone into powder, you don't need to touch him at all. It's quite enough to stamp on a missing molar and let xxxcontagious magicxxx do the rest. This is why peoples all over the world traditionally hide lost body parts, lest they fall into the wrong hands.
American children's ritual of hiding lost teeth under their pillows probably derives distantly from this practice. But there is an obvious difference, for when Suzie conceals her baby milk-tooth, she fully expects it to be found, and by a good magician, not an evil one. Moreover, she expects to be paid for having surrendered it, and at the going rate. Nothing mare clearly suggests the blithe commercial gusto of our culture than this transformation of a fearful superstition into a cheery business transaction.
Because American children expect fair exchange for their lost teeth, it is likely that the tooth fairy ritual derives more immediately from the European, and particularly German, tradition of placing a lost tooth in a mouse or a rat folk belief governing this practice is that when a new tooth grows in, it will possess the dental qualities, not of the original, lost tooth, but of whatever creature finds it, so the creatures of choice would be those world-class champers, the rodents.
Thus the optimistic, xxxfair exchangexxx principle most likely started in Germany and was brought here by German immigrants. It was only left to America to replace the beneficent “tooth rat” with the more agreeable fairy and to replace the traditional hope of hard molars with our more characteristic hope of hard cash.
远古时期的.人们认为毛发、剪下的指甲和脱落的牙齿即使离开了人的身体,仍与其主人保持着神秘的联系。正如任何一个伏都教大师都会告诉你的,假如你想置某人于死地,根本用不着去碰他,只需用脚踩碎那人脱落的一颗臼齿就够了,剩下的事就交给“无边的法力”去办。这就是为什么全世界各个民族都习惯于把身体上脱落的东西藏起来,以免落入恶人之手。
美国儿童把脱落的牙齿藏到枕头下的习惯做法很可能与这个习俗稍有联系。但两者又有明显的差别,因为当小苏珊把她的乳牙藏起来时,她其实满心希望有个善良的,而不是邪恶的巫师能发现她的牙齿。而且由于交出了牙齿,她还希望按现行价格得到报偿。我们把可怕的迷信变成了愉快的商业交易,没有什么比这更明白地表明我们文化中的令人愉快的商业热情。
因为美国孩子希望用他们脱落的牙齿作公平交易,所以牙齿仙女的习俗可能更直接渊源于欧洲风俗,尤其是德国风俗中把脱落的牙齿放在老鼠洞里的传统做法。这种习俗依据的民间观念认为,新牙长出来时不具有原先脱落的牙齿的特质,哪种动物发现了掉下来的牙,新牙就具有那种动物的牙的特质。因此,要选那些世界一流的擅长啃咬的动物,那些啮齿目动物。
因此,这种乐观的“公平交易”原则很可能发源于德国,并由德国移民带到了这里。美国人只是把好心的“牙齿老鼠”换成了更可亲的仙女,而传统上人们希望长出坚固的牙齿,到我们这儿却变成了希望拿到现金,这就更具有我们的特色。

Disabled people are normal people, except that they can not see as much as we can, or they can not walk as fast as we can. Since they can not see as much, or they can not walk as fast, they need our help.
We can immediately do a long list of ways in which we can help them, for instance, Each student finds some one to help, in the neighborhood or the community. You can help them to cross the road. You can help pushing their wheel chairs. l Set up kind of organization. Collect some money. Use this money to help them, to buy them daily necessities, to help their children finish school. As they are disabled, it is more difficult for them to earn as much as normal people do. That’s why they usually need help in physical things. As they are disabled, they feel lonely. They think they are not as good as normal people. They easily become lonely, sad, disappointed. They easily lose hope of life. They need help more in spiritual things. They need people to chat with. They need people to encourage them to continue their lives. They need people to get rid of prejudices over them. Now, I would suggest, do whatever we can to help them. We can donate our pocket money. We can walk up to help the disabled to cross the street. We can make friends with the disabled by visiting them, by calling them, by emailing them, by whatever means. However, don’t always think we are better than the disabled. As normal people, we always make normal mistakes.
We take it for granted that we can see things while the blind can not. If you know the story about Helen Keller, you will understand why you are wrong. The blind can not see with their bare eyes, but they can see better with their ears. They can see better with their hands. So, help the disabled while you treat them like normal people. And they are normal people!
