My Forever Valentine
编者按：
他最后一次送给我的这张贺卡如今仍保存在我的记事牌上。它提醒我父亲是多么地不同寻常，以及这些年来对我是多么地重要，我知道我有这样一位父亲，他以慷慨的胸怀、朴素的理解和一生中向他的亲人表达祝福的能力，来保持着爱的传统。
英语原文
The traditional holidays in our house when I was a child were spent timing elaborate meals around football games. My father tried to make pleasant chitchat and eat as much as he could during halftime. At Christmas he found time to have a cup or two of holiday cheer and do his holly-shaped bow tie. But he didn't truly shine until Valentine's Day.
I don't know whether it was because work at the office slowed during February or because the football season was over. But Valentine's Day was the time my father chose to show his love for the special people in his life. Over the years I fondly thought of him as my " Valentine Man."
My first recollection of the magic he could bring to Valentine's Day came when I was six. For several days I had been cutting out valentines for my classmates. Each of us was to decorate a " mailbox " and put it on our desk for others to give us cards. That box and its contents ushered in a succession of bittersweet memories of my entrance into a world of popularity contests marked by the number of cards received, the teasing about boyfriends/girlfriends and the tender care I gave to the card from the cutest boy in class.
That morning at the breakfast table I found a card and a gift-wrapped package at my chair. The card was signed " Love, Dad" , and the gift was a ring with a small piece of red glass to represent my birthstone, a ruby. There is little difference between red glass and rubies to a child of six, and I remember wearing that ring with a pride that all the cards in the world could not surpass.
As I grew older, the gifts gave way to heart-shaped boxes filled with my favorite chocolates and always included a special card signed " Love, Dad" .In those years my " thank-yous" became more of a perfunctory response.The cards seemed less important, and I took

One day the child asked God： "They tell me you are going to send me to earth tomorrow but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?" God replied： "Among the many angels, I have chosen one for you. She will be waiting for you and will take care of you." "But, " said the child： "tell me here in Heaven I don‘t anything else but sing and smile. That‘s what I need to be happy!" God said： "Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you every day. And you will feel your angel‘s love and be happy." "And," said the child： "how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me, If I don‘t know the language that men talk?" "That‘s easy", said God： "Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear, and with much patience and care, your angel will teach you how to speak." The child looked up at God saying： "And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?" God smiled at the child saying： "Your angel will Place your hands together and will teach you how to pray." The child said："I‘ve heard on earth there are bad men. Who will Protect me?" God put his arm around the child, saying： "Your angel will defend you - even if it means risking life!" The child looked sad, saying： "But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore." God hugged the child： "Your angel will always talk to you about me and will teach you the way to come back to me, even though I will always be next to you." At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from earth could already be heard. The child, in a hurry,

Accordingly, the World Expo with its 150-year history is regarded as the Olympic Games of the economy, science and technology. Shanghai will host the 2010 World Expo.

【10个哲理小故事】英语哲理小故事10篇 01 高僧问：你觉得是一粒金子好，还是一堆烂泥好呢？ 求道者答，当然是金子啊！ 高僧笑曰：假如你是一颗种子呢？ 感悟： 这个世界上并没有绝对的好与坏， 适合你的，就是最好的。 养老的方式也是如此。 02 道长有一个爱抱怨的弟子。一天，道长将一把盐放入一杯水中让弟子喝。 弟子说：咸得发苦。 道长又把更多的盐撒进湖里，让弟子再尝湖水。 弟子喝后说：纯净甜美。 道长说：生命中的痛苦是盐，它的咸淡取决于盛它的容器。 感悟： 老是抱怨世界的人啊， 不是世界太糟糕， 是你的心胸太狭小。 03
一青年向道士求教：“师傅，有人说我是天才，也有人骂我是笨蛋，依你看呢？” “你是如何看待自己的？”道士反问，青年一脸茫然。 “譬如一斤米，在饼家眼里是烧饼，在酒商眼中是酒，在乞丐那里，就是救命的一顿饭。不过，米还是那斤米。”青年豁然开朗。 感悟： 你看待自己的方式， 决定了自己的价值。 每个人都是有价值的， 不要总说自己“老不中用了”。 04 一头驴子不慎掉进了枯井，众人设法救它，都没有成功，就决定埋了它。 驴子悲声鸣叫，可当泥土落下的时候，它却出乎意料地安静了。它努力抖落背上的泥土，把它们踩在脚下，让自己登高一点。就这样，它随着泥土的抖落不断登高，最后竟在众人的惊奇声中走出了枯井。 感悟： 关键时刻能救你的，只有你自己。 人到老年，最大依靠的也是你自己。 05 爱神和恶鬼一起来到了人间。 春天里，他们同游花园。爱神说：“啊！多么美丽的景致——百花烂漫！”恶鬼说：“美什么，那花朵下有刺呢！”
夏天里，他们一起游山林。爱神说：“瞧！多么美妙的风光——绿树浓荫！”恶鬼说：“妙什么，那树里有虫呢！” 秋天里，他们一起游郊野。爱神说：“看！多么欢乐的美景——黄金世界！”恶鬼说：“乐什么，那黄表示是枯萎呢！” 冬天里，他们同游大漠。爱神说：“哈！多么洁净的大地——白雪皑皑！”恶鬼说：“洁什么，那雪下全是沙呢！” 于是，上帝让爱神留在天堂，将恶鬼打入了地狱。 感悟： 内心有爱，得到的是欢乐； 内心有恨，得到的只是痛苦。 老朋友们，祝你 心中充满爱，生活充满欢乐！ 06 第一天，小白兔去钓鱼，一无所获。第二天，它又去钓鱼，还是如此。第三天它刚到，一条大鱼从河里跳出来，大叫：你要是再敢用胡萝卜当鱼饵，我就扁死你！ 感悟： 你给的都是你自己“想”给的， 而不是对方想要的， 活在自己世界里的付出，不值钱。 老了，和儿女相处时要牢记这点。 07 有人问农夫：“种了麦子了吗？”农夫：“没，我担心天不下雨。”
