What︵is the secret ingredient︵of tough people▼ that enables them to succeed?↘Why do they survive the tough times▼ when others are overcome by them? ↘Why do they win when others lose?↘Why do they soar when others sink?↘
The answer is very simple. It's all︵in how they perceive their problems. Yes,
every living person has problems. A problem-free life is︵an︵illusion-a mirage︵in the desert. Accept that fact.
Every mountain has a peak. Every valley has its low point. Life has its ups︵and downs,↗its peaks︵and valleys.↘No one is︵up all the time,↘nor︵are they down all the time. Problems do end. They are all resolved︵in time.
You may not be able to control the times, but you can compose︵your response.
You can turn your pain︵into profanity -or into poetry. The choice︵is︵up to you.
You may not have chosen your tough time, but you can choose how you will react to it. For instance,↗what is the positive reaction▼ to a terrible financial setback?↘In this
situation↗would it be the positive reaction to cop︵out and run︵away?↗Escape
through alcohol,↗drug,↗or suicide?↘No! Such negative reactions only produce greater problems▼by promising a temporary solution to the pressing problem. The positive solution to a problem▼ may require courage to initiate it. When you control
your reaction to the seemingly un-controllable problem︵of life, then︵in fact you do control the problem's effect︵on you. Your reaction to the problem is the last word! That's the bottom line. What will︵you let this problem do to you?↘It can make you tender↗or tough.↘It can make you better↗or bitter.↘It all depends︵on you.
In the final︵analysis, the tough people who survive the tough times do so▼because they've chosen to react positively▼ to their predicament. Tough times never last, but tough people do. Tough people stick︵it︵out. History teaches︵us that every problem has︵a lifespan. No problem︵is permanent. Storms︵always give︵way to the sun. Winter always thaws︵into springtime. Your storm will pass. Your winter will thaw. Your problem will be solved.

人人有本难念的经
坚韧不拨的人成功的秘诀是什么？他们为什么能挺过艰难的时刻，而其他人却被困难所压倒？为什么成功的是他们，而失败的是其他人？为什么他们一飞冲天，而其他人都深陷泥沼？
答案很简单，全看他们是如何看待自己面临的难题。不错，人人有本难念的经。没有难题困扰的人生只能是一个幻想，是沙漠中的海市蜃楼。还是接受这个事实吧。每一座山都有巅峰，每一个峡谷都有深底。人生也有兴衰起伏，不会有人一生都时乖命蹇。难题总有了结的一天。随着时间的推移，一切难题都会迎刃而解。
你也许不能控制时势，可是你能够冷静应对。你既可以把痛苦转换为怨天尤人的诅咒，也可以赋予之以诗意，这全在于你自己的选择。时运不济的你或许无从选择，但是你可以选择应对的方略。譬如，遭遇一次严重的经济挫折，究竟怎么做才称得上积极应对呢？放弃而
后潜逃？借酒浇愁？吸毒麻醉？抑或自杀？这样的逃避是积极应对吗？当然不是！这样一些消极的反应似乎暂时解决了迫在眉睫的难题，但事实上只会招致更棘手的难题。积极的应对只能是鼓起勇气着手解决。对于人生中看似无法控制的难题，当你能够控制自己的应对，那么你就事实上控制了难题对你的影响。你对难题的应对是至关重要的、最根本的。难题能对你产生什么样的影响呢？它可以使你脆弱，也可以使你坚强；它可以使你升华，也可以使你痛苦。全在于你自己。
归根结底，坚韧的人之所以能挺过艰难的岁月，是因为他们选择积极地去应对困境。艰难的岁月不会没完没了，坚韧的人会始终不懈，坚持到底。历史告诉我们，每一个难题都有始有终，任何难题都不会永远存在。暴风雨过后一定是灿烂的阳光。严冬必然会化为春光。你的暴风雨也会过去，你的冬天也会回暖。你的难题终将解决。

仔细地思考这些问题：
1. 我是在做自己吗？我了解自己吗？我对周围的人和事做出回应吗？Am I authentic? Do I know myself? Am I being myself? Am I responsive?
2. 我听别人说话时有意识地在评价吗？我是否真的独立思考，而非人云亦云？Do I do my own thinking and use my own knowledge? Do I listen to others and evaluate what say?
3. 我是否自然不做作，天然无矫饰？我是否快乐，友好？Am I spontaneous? Do I have a zest for life? Do I enjoy work, play, food, other people, and the world of nature?
4. 我是否有足够的自控力？Am I able to discipline myself to postpone enjoyment in order to have enhanced enjoyment in the future?
5. 我不是个冷漠无情的人吧？Do I care about the world and its people?

成功者
每一个人生来就是一个先前从未存在过的崭新的个体。他在人生中成功立业的能力与生俱来。每一个人都可以以其独特的方式观察、倾听、触摸、体味和思索大千世界。每个人都有独一无二的潜质--才干和局限。每一个人都可以凭自己的努力成为一个有价值、有头脑、有感悟、有创造力、有成就的人，即成功者。
成功者的潜质各不相同。成就并不是最重要的，活得真实才是。一个真实的人通过了解自我、坚持自我，使自己成为值得信赖、乐于回应的人来体验真实的自我。他实现独特的永不重复的自我，同时也尊重他人的独特性。
成功者不惮于用自己的头脑去思考，用自己的感官去体会大千世界。他能够区分出哪些是事实、哪些是观点。同时并不宣称洞察一切。他倾听他人的意见，评估他们的话语，可是结论要由自己作出，他可以钦慕、敬重别人，可是他决不为他人所局限、所束缚，不会对他们敬若神灵。
成功者是自在的。他无须以既定的、僵硬的方式用出回应。一旦情况改变，他会相应地变更计划。成功者对人生充满了热忱。他享受工作、玩乐和美食、欣赏他人并钟爱大自然。他享受成功的乐趣而问心无愧；他分享他人的成就而心无芥蒂。
成功者可以自由自在地享受人生，他还可以延缓这种享受。为了未来的享受更加丰厚，他可以在时下约束自己，追求自己的目标，他无所畏惧，但总是行之有道，不逾规矩。他不会为了自己的安全感去控制他人。
成功者关注世界，关心他人。对于社会的普遍问题，他从不置身事外。他有一颗关注的心、同情的心，全身心致力于提高人生的质量。即便在本国或国际间发生困难之际，他也不会感到无能为力。他竭尽力之所能，使这个世界成为更加美好的地方。

Although people︵are born to win, they are︵also born helpless▼ and totally
dependent︵on their environment. Winners successfully make the transition from
total helplessness↗▼ to independence and then↗▼ to interdependence. Losers do not. Somewhere along the line▼ they begin to avoid becoming self-responsible.
Few people are total winners↗or losers. Most︵of them are winners︵in some areas︵of their lives▼and losers︵in others. Their winning↗or losing is influenced▼ by what happens to them︵in childhood.
A lack︵of response to dependency needs,↗poor nutrition,↗brutality,↗unhappy relationships,↗disease,↗continuing disappointments,↗inadequate physical care,↗and traumatic︵events↘▼ are among the many experiences▼ that contribute to making people losers. Such︵experiences interrupt,↗deter,↗or prevent the normal progress toward autonomy↗▼and self-actualization. To cope with negative experiences▼ a child learns to manipulate himself︵and others. These manipulative techniques are hard to give up▼later︵in life and often become set patterns. A winner works to shed them. A loser hangs︵on to them.
A loser represses his capacity▼to express spontaneously and appropriately his full range︵of possible behavior. He may be unaware︵of other︵options for his life▼if the path he chooses goes nowhere. He is︵afraid to try new things. He maintains his︵own status. He is︵a repeater. He repeats not︵only his mistakes, but︵also those︵of his family and culture.
A loser has difficulty giving↗and receiving︵affection. He does not enter︵into intimate,↗honest,↗direct relationships with︵others. Instead, he tries to manipulate them into living︵up to his expectations▼ and channels his energies into
living︵up to their expectations.

精品句子！人生向来很无助，很无奈，成功者学习摆脱这种无助的状态，达到独立，自主的状态。失败者只要愿意，也能做到！
1. Winners successfully make the transition from total helplessness to independence, and then to interdependence. Losers do not.
2. Few people are total winners or losers.
3. There are many experiences that contribute to making people losers.
4. A loser represses his capacity to express spontaneously and appropriately his full range of possible behavior.
5. A loser has difficulty giving and receiving affection.
参考译文
失败者
尽管成功立业的能力与生俱来，人们出生之际也是无助的，完完全全地依赖环境而生存。成功者顺利地从完全的无助过渡到自立，接着再过渡到人际间的相互依存。失败者则不然。在这一过程的某一环节上，他们开始不愿对自己负责。
很少有人是完全的成功者或失败者。大多数人在人生的某些方面是成功者，而在另外一些方面则是失败者。人的成功和失败与童年的经历有关。
诸如婴幼儿时期无人照顾，营养不良，受到虐待，不良的人际关系，疾病，接踵而至的挫折，不良的医疗条件造成心灵创痛的事件等，这一切经历都可能导致人生的失败。这些经历中断、延缓或阻碍了走向自立和自我实现的正常进程。在应付负面经历的过程中，小孩子学会了操纵自己和他人。这些操纵性手腕在成年后很难弃绝，常常变成顽固的习性，成功者竭力弃绝这种习性，而失败者深陷其中，难以自拔。
失败者压抑自己以自然而得体的方式灵活行事的能力。他选择的道路是条死胡同，他不明白人生中还有其他许多选择。他不敢进行新的尝试。他维持着现状。他只在原地踏步，不仅重复着自己的错误，而且重复着他的家庭和本民族的错误。
失败者难以表达或接受爱意。他从不与他人建立亲密、诚实而直率的关系。反之，他试图操纵他人，希望他人不辜负他的期望，而自己也竭力去迎合他人的期望。
Chapter 4. If I Were a Boy Again
单词与词组Words and phrases

surmount v. 爬上顶端
pyramid n. 金字塔
school v. 锻炼
cultivation n. 培养
frown v. 皱眉
courtesy n. 礼貌
根据朗读标记，听录音跟读，然后背诵。
If︵I were︵a boy again, I would practise perseverance more often, and never
give︵up︵a thing because it︵was hard or︵inconvenient. If we want light,↗we
must conquer darkness. Perseverance can sometimes︵equal genius in︵its results.
"There︵are︵only two creatures," says︵ a proverb, "who can surmount the pyramids-the eagle↗and the snail."
If︵I were︵a boy again, I would school myself︵into a habit︵of attention; I would let nothing come between me↗and the subject︵in hand. I would remember that▼ a good skater never tries to skate︵in two directions︵at︵once. The habit
︵
of︵attention becomes part︵of︵our life, if we begin early enough. I often hear grown-up people say ,"I could not fix my attention on the lecture↗or book, although I wished to do so," and the reason︵is, the habit was not formed︵in youth.
If︵I were to live my life over︵again, I would pay more attention to the cultivation︵of the memory. I would strengthen that faculty by every possible means, and, on︵every possible occasion. It takes︵a little hard work︵at first▼to remember things︵accurately; but memory soon helps︵itself, and gives very little trouble. It︵only needs early cultivation▼to become︵a power.
If︵I were︵a boy again, I would look︵on the cheerful side. Life︵is very much like︵a mirror: if you smile︵upon︵it, it smiles back︵upon︵you; but if you frown︵and look doubtful︵on︵it, you will get︵a similar look︵in return. Inner sunshine warms not︵only the heart︵of the owner, but ︵of all that come︵in contact with︵it. Who shuts love︵out, in turn shall be shut from love.
If︵I were︵a boy again, I would school myself to say "No" oftener. I might write pages︵on the importance︵of learning very early in life▼ to gain that point ▼where a young boy can stand︵erect, and decline doing an︵unworthy act▼because it︵
is︵unworthy.
If︵I were︵a boy again, I would demand︵of myself more courtesy▼towards my companions︵↗and friends, and︵indeed towards strangers ︵as well. The smallest courtesies︵along the rough roads︵of life▼are like the little birds that
sing to us all winter long, and make that season︵of︵ice︵and snow▼more endurable.
Finally, instead︵of trying hard to be happy, as︵if that were the sole purpose︵of life, I would, if︵I were︵a boy again, try still harder to make others happy.

这是一篇非常好的文章，作者用平常的话语道出深刻的生活哲理，希望能给您增添勇气和智慧。
假如我再回到童年
假如我再回到童年，我会更多地培养自己的毅力，决不因为事情艰难或麻烦而放弃不干。如果我们需要光明，我们就得征服黑暗。在产生的结果方面，毅力往往可以与天才相妣美。谚语说：“能登上金字塔的生物只有两种--雄鹰与蜗牛。”
假如我再回到童年，我会培养自己专心致志的习惯；一旦手头有事，决不让任何东西使我分心。我会牢记：一位优秀的溜冰手从不试图同时滑向两个不同的方向。如果及早养成专心致志的习惯，它就会成为我们生命的一个部分。我常常听到成年人说：“尽管我希望集中注意力听讲课或读书，但往往做不到。”其原因就在于年轻时没有养成这种习惯。
假如我能重新活过，我会更加注意培养自己的记忆力。我要采取一切可能的办法，在一切可能的场合，增强记忆力。要精确地记住一切事物，起初的确要作出一番小小的努力；但用不了多久，记忆力本身就会起作用，使记忆成为轻而易举的事。只需及早培养，记忆自会成为一种才能。
假如我再回到童年，我会凡事都看光明的一面。生活就像一面镜子：你朝它微笑，它也会朝你微笑；但如果你朝它皱眉头，它也会朝你皱眉头；如果你用怀疑的目光看待它，它也会以同样怀疑的目光看待你。内心的阳光不仅温暖了自己的心，同时也温暖了所有跟他接触的人的心。“谁将爱拒之门外，谁就会被爱拒之门外。”
假如我再回到童年，我就要养成经常说“不”的习惯。我可以写上好几页，谈谈早期培养这一点的重要性。一个少年要能挺得起腰杆，拒绝做不值得做的事--就因为它不值得做。
假如我再回到童年，我会要求自己对待同伴和朋友更礼貌，而且对陌生人也同样如此。
在坎坷的人生道路上，最细小的礼貌犹如在漫长的冬季为我们歌唱的小鸟，使得冰天雪地的严冬变得较易忍受。
最后，假如我再回到童年，我不会竭力为自己谋幸福--仿佛那是人生的唯一目标；与之相反，我会更加努力--让他人幸福。
Chapter 5. I Dread the End of the Year
单词与词组Words and phrases
dread v. 惧怕
psychologist n. 心理学家
fogy n. 守旧者
Goethe n. 歌德(诗人)
immense a. 无边的
根据朗读标记，听录音跟读，然后背诵。
"I dread to come to the end︵of the year" ,said︵a friend to me recently, "it makes me realize▼I am growing old.”
William James, the great psychologist, said that most men are "old fogies︵at twenty-five". He was right. Most men︵at twenty-five▼are satisfied with their jobs.
They have︵accumulated the little stock︵of prejudices▼that they call their
"Principles, " and closed their minds to all new ideas; they have ceased to grow.
The minute▼a man ceases to grow-no matter what his years-that minute he begins to be old. On the other hand, the really great man never grows old.
Goethe passed︵out at eighty-three, and finished his Faust ▼only a few years︵earlier; Gladstone took︵up︵a new language▼ when he was seventy. Laplace,↗the astronomer,↗was still ︵at work▼when death caught︵up with him▼at
seventy-eight. He died crying, "What we know is nothing; what we do not know is︵immense."
And there you have the real answer to the question, "When ︵is︵a man old?↘"
Laplace at seventy-eight died young. He was still︵unsatisfied, still sure that he had︵a lot to learn.
As long︵as︵a man can keep himself︵in that attitude ︵of mind,↗as long︵
as he can look back︵on every year▼and say , "I grew," he is still young.
The minute he ceases to grow, the minute he says to himself, "I know all that︵I
need to know,"--t hat day youth stops. He may be twenty-five︵or seventy-five, it makes no difference. On that day▼ he begins to be old.

这篇文章是典型的摆事实，讲道理的结构，作者从几个方面反复论证一个道理：The minute a man ceases to grow-no matter what his years-that minute he begins to be old. On the other hand, the really great man never grows old. 前两段不背也罢，后面的把几个事例记住就好了。
参考译文；；
我惧怕岁末年尾
“我惧怕临近岁末年尾”，一位朋友最近对我说：“它使我意识到我正在变老。”
伟大的心理学家威廉·詹姆斯就曾说过，大多数人“25岁时就成了守旧落伍者”。他的话是对的。大多数人25岁时就满足于他们的工作。他们已经积累了一些他们称之为“原则”的偏见，对所有新的思想关闭心灵之门；他们已经停止成长。
一个人一旦停止成长--不管他年龄多大--他就开始衰老。反之，真正的伟人从来不会衰老。
歌德享年83岁，逝世前几年才完成《浮士德》；格莱斯顿70岁时又开始学习一门外国语；法国天文学家拉普拉斯78岁死时还在工作着。临死前，他大声喊道：“我们所知的太少太少，我们所不知的太多太多。”
“一个人何时变老？”，从这类事例中对这个问题你已经有了真正的答案。
拉普拉斯78岁逝世时依然年轻。他依旧不满足，依旧感到许多东西要学。
一个人，只要他能够保持这种心态，只要他在回首过去的一年时能够说“我在成长”，他就依然年轻。
他一旦停止成长，他一旦对自己说“我该懂的都懂了”，这个时候他的青春也就完了。他可能在25岁时死去，也可能在75岁时死去，这都没有区别。就在那一天，他开始变老。

根据朗读标记，听录音跟读，然后背诵。
The ups︵↗and downs︵of life▼may seem to have no predictable plan. But scientists know▼there︵are very definite patterns▼that almost︵all people share. Even︵if you've passed some︵of your "prime", you still have other prime years to experience▼in the future. Certain︵important primes seem to peak later
︵
in life.
When︵are you smartest?↘From18-25, according to I.Q. scores; but you're wiser↗and more experienced▼ with︵increasing︵age.
You're sharpest︵in your 20's; around 30, memory begins to decline, particularly your︵ability to perform mathematical computations. But your I.Q.for︵other tasks climbs. Your vocabulary at︵age 45, for︵example, is three times︵as great︵as when you graduated from college. At 60, ↗your brain possesses︵almost▼four times︵as much︵information︵as︵it did▼at age 21. This trade︵-off between sharpness︵↗and wisdom has led psychologists to suggest that▼↗"maturity quotients" (M.Q.) be adopted for adults.
When︵are you happiest?↘You have the best physical sense︵of yourself▼from15 to 24; the best professional sense▼from 40 to 49.
Before︵age 24, we believe that our happiest years︵are yet to come; over 30,we believe that they're behind︵us. A National Health Survey agrees: After︵age 30, we "become more realistic▼and do not view happiness︵as︵a goal︵in︵itself. If we maintain ︵our health,↗achieve professional︵↗and︵emotional goals, then happiness, we feel,↗ will follow↘".
When︵are you most creative?↘Generally between 30 and 39, but the peak varies with different professions.
Mozart wrote︵ a symphony and four sonatas▼by age eight, and
Mendelssohn composed︵his best known work▼ A Midsummer Night's Dream,
at 17, but most︵of the great music▼was written by men▼between 33 and 39.
Though the peak︵in most fields comes early-most Nobel prizewinners did their top research▼in their late 20's and 30's-creative people continue to produce quality work▼throughout their lives. For the "well-conditioned mind", there︵is no upper limit.↘

三个大段：

2. When are you happiest?
3. When are you most creative?
再回到主题：Are these the best years of your Life? 想一想！
参考译文
这是你生命的最佳时期吗？
人生的起伏似乎没有可以预知的模式，但是科学家现在发现有一些模式相当明确，绝大多数人都不例外。即使你度过了一些最佳时期，你仍然会在将来经历另外几个最佳时期。某些最佳时期似乎在生命的后半段才会到来。
什么时候你最聪明？根据智商得分，你从15岁至25岁最聪明。然而，随着年龄的增长，你更加具有智慧和经验。
20多岁的时候你的思维最敏捷；30岁左右，记忆力开始衰退，尤其是你的数学计算能力。然而你做其他事情的智商提高了。例如45岁时你的词汇量是你刚从大学毕业时的3倍。60岁时你大脑中储存的信息几乎是你21岁时的4倍。敏锐和智慧之间的这种消长，已经使得心理学家们提出了在成年人中采用“成熟商”这一概念。
什么时候你的自我感觉最好？15岁至24岁之间你的身体感觉最好；40岁至49岁之间你对自己的职业感觉最佳。
24岁之前，我们相信自己最快乐的日子尚未到来；过了30岁，我们就认为最快乐的时光已经过去。一项全国性的健康调查也揭示了同样的结果：30岁过后，我们变得更加实际，不把幸福当成生命本身的一种目标。我们认为，只要我们保持健康，事业上、情感上称心如意，那么我们就觉得幸福便会随之而来。
什么时候你最富创造力？一般在30岁至39岁之间。但是不同的职业，高峰期也不相同。
莫扎特8岁时就创作了一部交响曲、4首奏鸣曲；门德尔松17岁就完成了他的最著名的作品《仲夏夜之梦》，但是大部分伟大的音乐作品都是人们在33岁至39岁之间创作出来的。虽然大多数领域的最佳状态来得比较早--大多数诺贝尔奖获得者都是在25岁以后、30多岁时完成他们最出色的研究--但是创造型的人会在生命中不断地完成高质量的工作。对于“状态良好的大脑”，不存在上限。
Chapter 7. Pain and Growth
单词与词组Words and phrases
profoundly adv. 深深地
ordinary a. 平凡的
frustration n. 挫败
accomplishment n. 成就
anguish n. 痛苦
crucial a. 至关紧要的
inclination n. 倾向
inevitable a. 必然的
disservice n. 伤害
根据朗读标记，听录音跟读，然后背诵。
Looking back︵over my life, it seems to me that▼I have learned the most▼when︵I felt the greatest pain. My mother's death, for︵example, made me more profoundly aware︵of the beauty in nature. My capacity for finding joy in the most ordinary events (watching︵a flower︵open,↗leaves turning red,↗a bird taking
︵
a bath↘) seems to deepen each time I live through great sorrow. Death makes life more precious;↗frustration makes success more fulfilling;↗failure makes the next
︵
accomplishment more meaningful.
In︵order to feel deeply▼it︵is necessary to feel︵everything. It︵is︵impossible to choose. You can't really know▼how great▼is your sense︵of joy at
︵
a baby's birth▼ or your satisfaction︵at succeeding︵at︵a hard job▼unless you are︵also deeply aware︵of the anguish︵of separation▼↗and the pain︵of failure.↘It's through the capacity to feel▼that we discover︵ourselves︵and others▼ and explore the potential for︵a full,↗significant life.
This︵is︵an︵especially crucial issue for parents. Our natural︵inclination
︵
is to try to protect children from pain. We have the mistaken notion that▼ if︵a child︵is happy▼we are doing ︵a good job; if︵a child︵is sad▼we are failing as
parents. But giving children the message that▼happy is good▼↗and sad︵is
terrible▼↘decreases their capacity to explore the full range︵of human ︵
experiences.
Children need to understand that▼suffering,↗frustration↗and failure↘are not ︵only inevitable▼but helpful. The parent who took︵a simple puzzle︵away from︵a four-year︵-old child▼has dreadful feeling▼ because "he gets too upset︵and frustrated▼when he can't get︵it right︵immediately,"--d id the child︵a great disservice. Children need to experience such feelings︵as they grow up; it helps them to develop the patience,↗persistence︵↗and︵ability↘to cope▼that they'll need▼when︵a scientific︵experiment fails, or︵a low grade︵is received▼after diligent study. There︵is nothing so terrible︵about failing↘and feeling pain; what hurts▼ in the long run▼is▼ not trying▼because︵of the fear︵of pain.

我们都害怕痛苦，事实上没有痛苦做为参照，我们又怎能体会欢欣的价值？
1. Looking back over my life, it seems to me that I have learned the most when I felt the greatest pain. Death-life; frustration-success; failure-accomplishment.
2. Children need to understand that suffering, frustration and failure are not only inevitable but helpful.
参考译文
痛苦与成长
回首往事，我觉得最痛苦的经历似乎给了我最大启迪。比方说，母亲的去世让我更加深切地体会到大自然的美好。每经受一次大的痛苦，我在对日常事物中发现愉悦的能力（观赏花儿开放，叶儿变红，鸟儿沐浴）就增加一分。死亡使得生命格外珍贵；挫折使得成功更加完满；失败使得下一次成就更有意义。
要想感受深切，就须感受一切，有所选择地感受是不可能的。你没有深切体会到分娩的阵痛，又哪能真正领悟到新生命诞生的巨大喜悦？你没有深切体会到失败的痛楚，又哪能真正领悟到成功完成一项艰巨工作之后的满足？我们在感受之中发现自己和他人，探索完满而有意义的生活的可能性。
这尤其是父母面临的一个严峻问题。做家长的总是情不自禁地竭力避免让孩子受苦。我们错误地认为，只要孩子幸福，家长就算尽了职，而孩子不幸，家长就是失了职。但是，让孩子感知幸福即好、不幸即糟这一讯息，则削弱了他们全面发掘人生经验的能力。
孩子们应该懂得，痛苦、挫折和失败非但不可避免，而且非常有益。父母拿走四岁孩子
手中的智力玩具，唯恐“他一时做不好就会灰心丧气”，这无异于害了孩子。孩子们在成长过程中需要这样的情感经历，这种情感经历有助于培养孩子的耐心、毅力和能力，让他们将来在科学实验失败的时候，在经过努力学习仍取得低分的时候，都能够处之泰然。失败和痛苦并不可怕；归根结底，真正有害的是因为惧怕痛苦而拒绝尝试。

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.
Many intelligent people still equate happiness with fun. The truth︵is that ▼fun
︵
↗and happiness have little↗or nothing in common. Fun ︵
is what we
experience▼ during︵an︵act. Happiness is what we experience▼ after︵an︵act.
It︵is︵a deeper,↗more︵abiding︵emotion.
Going to an︵amusement park︵or ball game, watching︵ a movie or
television, are fun︵activities that help us relax,↗temporarily forget︵our problems▼↗and maybe even laugh. But they do not bring happiness, because their positive︵effects end▼when the fun︵ends.
I have︵often thought that▼ if Hollywood stars have︵a role to play, it︵is to teach︵us▼that happiness has nothing to do with fun. These rich,↗beautiful︵
individuals have constant ︵access▼to glamorous parties,↗fancy cars,↗
expensive homes,↗everything that spells "happiness". But︵in memoir︵after
memoir, celebrities reveal the unhappiness hidden beneath︵all their fun:
depression,↗alcoholism,↗drug addiction,↗broken marriages,↗troubled children,↗profound loneliness.↘
The way people cling to the belief▼that︵a fun-filled,↗pain-free life↘equates happiness▼actually diminishes their chances︵of︵ever︵attaining real happiness. If fun and pleasure are︵equated with happiness, then pain must be
equated with︵unhappiness. But, in fact, the opposite︵is true: More times than not, things that lead to happiness▼ involve some pain.
As︵a result, many people avoid the very endeavors▼ that︵are the source︵of true happiness. They fear the pain inevitably brought by such things as▼marriage,
︵↗raising children,↗professional achievement,↗religious commitment,↗civic
or charitable work,↗and self-improvement.↘

事实上这篇文章就两个中心意思:
1. Happiness has nothing to do with fun.
2. Things that lead to happiness involve some pain.
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？
参考译文
幸福的本质
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。
许多聪明人依旧将幸福与娱乐等同起来。事实上，娱乐与幸福很少、甚至毫无共同之处。娱乐是某个活动进行中的体验，而幸福则是活动之后的体验。幸福是更深刻、更持久的情感。
去游乐场或去看球赛，看电影或看电视，这些都是娱乐活动，有助于我们放松身心，暂时忘却自己的难题，甚至让我们放声大笑。但是，这一切并不能带来幸福，因为娱乐一结束，它们的正面效应亦随之终结。
我常常这样想，如果好莱坞明星起到某种作用的话，那就是向我们昭示幸福与娱乐毫无关系。作为个人，他们富有，楚楚动人，可以随时出席令人神往的宴会，拥有顶尖级汽车、昂贵的宅第--这一切似乎意味着“幸福”。然而，在一部又一部的回忆录中，名流们揭示了隐藏在这一切娱乐活动背后的不幸：忧郁、酗酒、吸毒成瘾、失败的婚姻、饱受困扰的孩子、极度的孤独。
人们执迷不悟，以为充满欢笑、没有痛苦的生活就等于幸福；这实际上减少了他们真
正臻于幸福之境的可能性。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。
因此，许多人不愿努力，而这些努力恰恰正是真正幸福的源泉。诸如婚姻、抚育子女、职业成就、宗教信仰、公共及慈善事业、自身修养等必然带来痛苦，他们因而对于这一切心怀畏惧。

背诵小贴士Recitation tips
演讲是很难背的，因为一篇演讲通常包括很多内容。但这又正是我们需要去背诵演讲的原因，我们要学习演说的技巧，锻炼良好的口才。
记住文章的主题：选择的增多，以及随之带给我们的挑战。
阅读文章的时候好好想想自己面临选择的时候，越多越好，再与作者对话，你同意她说的吗？
参考译文
选择的重要性（一）
去年春节，我陷入过一场家庭纷争。在我回家之前，我们家的电视除了已有的十四个频道外又增加了四个卫星频道。晚上的黄金时间，每个频道的节目都很精彩，结果，我们一家五口（父母，两个姐姐和我）为了选台而争执起来。最后，我们决定应当看“最有意思”的
节目--如果我们在什么是“最有意思”上可以达成共识的话。
不过我们全都清楚地记得，买了电视后的好长一段时间里，只有一两个频道可供选择。电视频道的增多反映出我们生活中的一个重大变化：选择余地的扩大。
十五年前，我们身着同样的款式，单一的色调。而如今，纷繁的花色和众多的式样让我们挑得眼花缭乱。
十五年前，我们几乎无报可读。而如今，除了大大小小的中文报纸，我们还读上了《中国日报》、《二十一世纪报》这样的英文报纸。
十五年前，英语专业的学生只能选修语言与文学课程。而如今，我们还学习西方文化、新闻、商务、国际关系，甚至还有计算机课程。
选择的涌现标志着中国进入了一个崭新的时代，一个充满多样化的时代，一个物质和精神都愈加丰富的时代，一个中华民族获得新生的时代。
我们为选择之多而欢呼雀跃，同时也深深地感到这一切来之不易。
一个半世纪之前，在西方大炮、战舰的威逼下，中国被迫打开了国门。经过祖祖辈辈的抗争与牺牲，我们才最终赢得了当家作主的机会。改革开放这个正确的抉择使一切发生了翻天覆地的变化。
我和其他同龄人一样，太年轻了，没有经历过丧失选择权的岁月。但是，随着下个世纪的脚步越走越近，我们是该扪心自问了：选择，对于我们青年一代，到底意味着什么？
选择，是场靠侥幸来获胜的游戏吗？是句没有兑现的空话吗？抑或是种让人知难而退的困境？

最有效的学习英语口语的方法
最有效的学习英语口语的方法 1，大量的读背，多背诵经典范文，各种英语好的文章，背的越多，表达能力越强， 2，口语我认为是死去活来，懂得九个W和一个H，采用多问的方式，还有别人一种表达方式，你要多种，3，多听英语材料或磁带，模仿地道的语音和语调，文章一定要读，背 4，多做一些类似与句型转换的题型，懂得外国人的思维方式 5，常去英语角，不到没有人，我不回来，平常多自言自语，多看外文小说和电影，扩大阅读量。我走的一条路是，美式发音，BRITISH英语，我的口语在英语角随便畅谈我还经常去网站的英语角，ICQ.我们学校的老外都知道我的名字。大胆找老外聊天，多参加英语活动，如英语口语竞赛，多教别人学英语。我做了半年的家教获益颇深，我希望能够给提高口语朋友一些帮助，以借助我的绵薄之力。苦苦学英语，才能取得好方法。要不要脸和知道怎样浪费时间脸皮厚，把时间放在交际上。多说。 下面是些方法，你可以根据自己的学习方式掌握： 1.要有大量的阅读和听力做基础。在读和听的过程中，积累了词汇，掌握了句型，熟悉了用英语表达思想的方式，最重要的是培养了语感。 2.同时，学英语口语也需要用多种办法：如大声朗读英语对话和文章，朗读各种句型的例句和口语中最常用的句子，背诵文章及演讲，与会英语的人练口语，当然，最好与以英语为母语的人练口语。事实上，自言自语亦是练习口语的有效的方法之一。如果你把自己说的英语给录制下来，听听自己的录音，若有问题，再加以改正，效果就会更好。 3.说英语还要有胆量。如果你能在说不太出口，或是说不好的情况下，大胆地说。说上一段时间后，突然有一天你会自如、清楚地表达自己的思想。有了大胆说的精神，你才能闯过口语的难关。 4.只会学英语，而不能尽快地去用，那就永远也学不好英语。在学英语的过程中，要始终寻找机会说英语。比如说，你周围有几个喜欢说英语的朋友，大家在一起就要用英语来交谈。这种交谈有利于每个人的英语学习，因为大家都有机会运用自己已掌握的英语知识来交流思想，巩固了已学的知识，并把知识转化成技能，同时，还能从别人那儿学到新的东西。要想学好英语口语就要多说。 5.能同以英语为母语的人说英语是最佳方法。在国内学英语缺乏环境，看电影学英语口语是弥补环境不足的好方法。英语电影是一部英语国家的生活、文化、风俗等一切的百科全书，是最全的英语口语百科全书。大量地看英文电影就是你彻底攻克英语“听”和“说”的法宝。英语电影把你带入了一个新的世界中去。你在电影中，学到了英语口语的语汇、短语、句子结构，以及表达各种内容的说法。你要做的就是把自己想像成电影中的一个角色，在经历着自己的生活，又在经历着其他人的生活。总之，看一部电影比在美国生活一天还好，看电影也能学到地道的英语口语。

自己练习口语的方法
自己练习口语的方法 大量阅读报刊、杂志及各种故事、杂文，之后将它们复述出来。（超级提示：是”复述 而非”背诵”。）同一篇文章的复述工作应该反复滚动。 一年左右逐渐过渡到用英文进行日常的思维活动。每当遇到不会的词、句就记录在本子上，集中解决，并定时更新、复习最理想的练习口语的方法是有个说英语的外国人天天在你身边陪你说英语，但这个条件一般谁也不具备，那么怎么来练习口语呢，有一个好办法非常 可行，就是自己和自己说练习英语口语（当然后期还要找一些外国人进行语言交流体验），请相信自己和自己练习口语这一办法很管用，新体系英语有一个方法， 推荐给你： 叫“反述式口语练习法”， 拿出一篇英语文章来先看懂，反复看几遍，争取记住里面的内容把文章翻扣在桌上，对着墙用自己的英语将刚才读过的文章反说出来（注意千万别背），然后（注意是述说，不是背 诵），一开始根本记不住，就打开文章再看一遍，然后再翻扣过来用英语述说，遇到卡壳的 地方就翻过文章再看一看，看看人家原文怎么说，再翻扣过去述说……直到把整个文章说完, 反复练习多遍后，不仅可以流利地述说这篇文章，还可以改换说法，用各种各样的方法述说， 如先说开头后说结尾、先说中间后说两头，长话短说、短话长说……不用多，只需几篇文章，就可以练出流利的英语口语，而且保证地道正确，比外国人说的还标准，因为所有的句子和表达方法都来自书上，还能有错?这样练习口语，进步飞速。比和外国人面对面说英语进步还快，因为面对面听不懂还不好意思问人家，现在是自己说了算，有任何不懂的地方马上可以查字典，查一个小时也没人管你。想学医学的口语就拿医学文章来反述，想学军事的口语就用军事文章来反述，想说什么就说什么，直到学会。用“反述式口语练习法”学习英语口语，大学生几个月就可以讲一口流利的英语，信不信由你，请试试吧。 需要注意的是，一开始一定要从简单的文章开始反述，千万别以为自己水平很高，急着先拿复杂的高级文章来反述。不管你的阅读水平有多高，在口语上一定要谦虚地把自己当成刚学说话的小婴儿，要甘心从头开始学习，要从第一个台阶开始迈起，不要以为一步跨上 3 个台阶才算进步快，我反复讲过，英语不难学，一共也就十个台阶，一个台阶一个台阶地上本来很容易，可大多数人心急，偏要一步迈上第十个台阶，结果把本来很简单的一件事搞得十分艰难。
英语口语的实训报告
英语口语的实训报告 Final approval draft on November 22, 2020
外国语学院 口语技能训练实习报告专业商务英语 学号 姓名刘洁 指导教师张海波、何霞 英语系制 2014年6月
为时一周的英语口语实训已经结束了，真是受益匪浅。通过这一周的实训，我极大的提高了自己的英语口语能力，学到了许多英语知识。本实训旨在使学生更加重视英语口语训练并掌握口语表达的有效技巧，使学生进一步强化英语口语能力以适应职业的需要，从而培养较强的英语口语实际交际能力。通过给我们看地道的美语发音来纠正读音和组织辩论赛，力图克服学生开口难的畏惧心理，最终为学生提高英语的应用能力、增强英语口头沟通能力，从而建立起语言学习能力。 本次英语口语实训主要包括两个部分。第一部分：基础语音训练。第二部分：口语技能训练。第三部分：考核。通过这三个部分的训练，培养学生用英语朗读各种题材书面材料的能力，培养学生在没有文字凭借的情况下用英语表达自己的观点的能力，清楚而逻辑的论证自己的观点的能力。实训要求学生认真参与、刻苦训练，在准备阶段能运用各种工具解决所遇到的问题，必要时能进行成功地团结合作，在检查中能自如发挥，独立完成所要求的任务。 第一部分:基础语音训练 基础语音训练是从基础的音标开始练习的。老师首先给我们看了视频学习了基础音标的读法，通过重新学习语音音标，让我对音标有了新的认识，发现了我以前在读音标时存在许多错误。对于口语中常出现的惯例性的特定读法，也给与我们及时的改正。让我们的英语口语更流畅，更标准。在学习了基本音标的基础上，有根据这些音标列举出常见的单词、短语、例句，让我们能更好的消化这一读音，让我们的发音更标准。 通过音标的学习让我认识到准确的学习音标为我的英语口语发音打下了良好的基础，成为我学习英语的优势。通过英语音标记单词是快速记背单词的最有效的一种方法。如果熟练掌握了英语音标发音的规律，就能很好的背下单词。通过基础语音训练让我确信它确实带给我很大的改变，可以培养我的语感。 第二部分：口语技能训练。 口语技能训练首先是进行分组辩论。把全年级分成四个大组，每个大组又根据人数分成5五个小组。先是通过组内小组与小组之间的辩论选出表现比较出色的四个辩手参加总决赛。这是我第一次参加辩论赛，从开始选题到最

大学英语四六级考试高分作文
大学英语四六级考试高分作文 1、字迹清楚，段落明朗(clear)：字体不要太大，也不要太小， 以行间距的三分之一到二分之一为合适;另外，大小要一致，不要忽大 忽小;字母的倾斜方向要一致，不要东倒西歪;要抵着给出的虚线写， 不能上窜下跳;总之，要给阅卷人清楚、工整的感觉。段落一般为三段，采用段首缩进式，即每段开头空4至8个字母的格，每段段首缩进的 量要一致，要让阅卷人一目了然。 2、内容完整，紧扣提纲(complete)：一般来说，四六级写作都会 给出三点汉语提纲，考生应严格按照三点写成三段。不要有遗漏，也 不要随意改变提纲要点的顺序。因为这是一个流水工作，阅卷人要在 30秒左右的时间打出分数，所以不希望看到与提纲严重背离的作文。 3、首先确保准确，再求闪光点(correct)：这个条是最核心的， 因为在写作时间和篇幅都比较短的情况下，考生写出的内容几乎是差 不多的，的判断标准几乎就是语言的质量。要首先保证语法和拼写准确，哪怕用小词、短句也能够。有水平的话再追求闪光的词句。例如，有考生在写作文时，写出了这样的开头句：There is no denying the fact that the vital of name has been a hotly debated topic in China. 这句话是套用我以往范文给过的句子，基本结构是对的，但有 两处明显的错误。一处为vital，是个形容词，而这里应该用名词。作者可能想用一个牛词来替换importance以显示用词多样，结果弄巧成拙。另外一处错误为name之前应该有冠词a，其实题目中都给了，结 果这位同学忽略了，缺乏基本的语法意识。其实作文中常犯的语法错 误除了冠词错误，还包括时态错误、名词和动词单复数错误、代词不 一致错误、词性错误以及句子主谓不完整错误，下笔时一定要谨慎。 4、先总后分，连词用上(coherent)：这里说的是段落的结构和连 贯性的问题。英语文章特别喜欢先总后分或开门见山的格局，另外， 段落之间和句子之间的形式连接手段特别明显，即关联词用的很多。 在写作的时候，几乎就是把给出的三点提纲作为每段的开头句，然后
