When Adam and Eve wereexpelledfrom Eden, there was an incident when the flames of a blazing sword of an angel, who had sent them away, burned a birds nest.

The birds were all burned to death, but a new bird was born from one of theruddilyheated eggs. This means that the unique Phoenix was born.

The phoenix builds its nest in Arabia, and there is a myth that it set fire to its own nest once every 100 years. Among those ruddy eggs heated by the fire, a new Phoenix comes to be born again.

The phoenix flies as fast as a ray of light, its feathers are ofdazzlingbeauty, and the sound of its voice is very sweet.

When a mother sits next to her babys cradle and dandles the baby, the Phoenix comes down to the babys pillow, and the glaring feathers of Phoenix make a halo around the babys head. The

phoenix

flies

around

rooms

of

poor

people,sprinklessunshine, and carries the fragrance of violets into the rooms.

The phoenix stays not only in Arabia but it flies around the far North Pole, broad field, above the rivers where the sunshine falls in coal mines and in our front yards where beautiful flowers bloom.

On the carriage of the Greek tragic poet, Thespis, the Phoenix became atalkativecrow, for the troubadours of Island it played the harp disguised as a swan, and on the shoulder of Shakespeare the phoenix whispered \"eternity\" as it was the Odins crow.

The phoenix sang beautiful songs, and people kissed its shining fallen feathers from its wings. Even though the Phoenix came from glorious Paradise, people may not see the Phoenix because they are busy with seeingsparrows.

The bird of the Paradise! Born once every 100 years, dies in flames! When it was born under the tree of wisdom in the garden of the Paradise, God kissed the Phoenix and gave him a name. That was \"Poetry and Art\". 《英语短文阅读》之小学 篇2

Hi, welcome to Faith Radio Online-Simply to Relax, I’m Faith. I realized a few years ago why we all need to climb a mountain every now and then. When we climb mountains, face challenges, hurdle1 obstacles and learn from difficult situations we remind ourselves that we have the strength, power and energy to overcome lifes challenges. At first even a little mountain may seem like a big insurmountable mountain. But when you step back and climb it you realize, \"I can do this.\"

You realize within you is a source of strength, power and energy that you didnt know you had. After all, the mountain, no matter how big it is, is no match for your focused energy and desire to climb it. Mountains are meant to be climbed. Wounds

are meant to be healed and problems are meant to become learning experiences. They all serve a purpose. They make us stronger mentally, emotionally and spiritually. So, here we are, in front of us is that mountain, don’t hesitate, just go ahead and climb it, climb that mountain. 《英语短文阅读》之小学 篇3

Air is all around us. It is around us as we walk and play. From the time we were born air is around us on every side. When we sit down, it is around us. When we go to bed, air is also around us. We live in air.

We can live without food or water for a few days, but we cannot live for more than a few minutes without air. We take in air. When we are working or running we need more air. When we are asleep, we need less air. We live in air, but we cannot see it. We can only feel it when it is moving. Moving air is called wind. How can we make air move? Here is one way. Hold an open book in front of your face,close it quickly. What can you feel? What you feel is air.

How you feel, how you react and how much stress you have in your life is in direct relation to how you think.

你的感觉、你对外界事物的反应以及你所能承受的压力直接影响到你的想法。

Some people let random circumstances predict their day and actually end up creating stress for themselves. For example, when they go to make coffee and find there is none left, they may start the day by thinking, \"Oh, this isn’t going to be a good day.\" Then, for the rest of the day, they allow minor inconveniences, unexplained challenges or other less ideal events to reinforce their negative thought. And they end up having a stressful day.

有些人很轻易地被周遭的事物影响自己一天的心情,结果只会徒生烦恼。例如,有些人冲咖啡时发现咖啡没有了,他们就会以\"今天会是不幸的'一天\"这样的想法开始一天的生活。然后,在这一整天的时光里,他们放任小小的不便、莫名的质疑或者其它不太顺心的小插曲加重自己的消极思想。最后,他们一天都过得极其郁闷。

Look forward to your day and don’t let negative thoughts control it. Change how you interpret or react to life’s events. If you run out of coffee, change your thoughts to, \"If this is the

worst thing that could happen to me today, then the rest of my day will be great.\"

以积极的心态去期待每一天的生活,不要让消极的思想主宰你。换个角度去理解和对待生活中的各种意外事件。若咖啡没有了,你可以转念一想：\"如果这就是今天能发生的最糟糕的事情,那么我的后半天肯定会过得无比美妙。\"

If you continually have negative thoughts, then you are allowing only negative events to be your companion for the rest of the day. And, when something good does occur, you won’t even recognize it.

如果你一直受消极思想影响,那么你一整天看任何事都会是消极的。即使有好的事情发生,你也不会意识到。

The happiness of your life depends on the quality of your thoughts.

你的幸福感取决于你的思想境界。 《英语短文阅读》之小学 篇9

Aesop’s Fables The Fox and the Grapes

One hot summer’s day a Fox was strolling through an orchard till he came to a bunch of Grapes just ripening on a vine which had been trained over a lofty branch. ‘Just the thing to quench my thirst,’ quoth he. Drawing back a few paces, he took a run and a jump, and just missed the bunch. Turning round again with a One, Two, Three, he jumped up, but with no greater success. Again and again he tried after the tempting morsel, but at last had to give it up, and walked away with his nose in the air, saying: ‘I am sure they are sour.’

The Raven and the Swan

A RAVEN saw a Swan and desired to secure for himself the same beautiful plumage. Supposing that the Swan's splendid white color arose from his washing in the water in which he swam, the Raven left the altars in the neighborhood where he picked up his living, and took up residence in the lakes and pools. But cleansing his feathers as often as he would, he could not change their color, while through want of food he perished.

Change of habit cannot alter Nature. 乌鸦与天鹅

乌鸦非常羡慕天鹅洁白的羽毛。他猜想天鹅一定是经常洗澡，羽毛才变得如此洁白无 瑕。于是，他毅然离开了他赖以生存的祭坛，来到江湖边。他天天洗刷自己的羽毛，不仅一点都没洗白，反而因缺少食物饥饿而死。

这故事说明，人的`本性不会随着生活方式的改变而改变。 《英语短文阅读》之初中 篇16

Hi, welcome to Faith Radio Online-Simply to Relax, I’m Faith. I realized a few years ago why we all need to climb a mountain

every now and then. When we climb mountains, face challenges, hurdle1 obstacles and learn from difficult situations we remind ourselves that we have the strength, power and energy to overcome life's challenges. At first even a little mountain may seem like a big insurmountable mountain. But when you step back and climb it you realize, \"I can do this.\" You realize within you is a source of strength, power and energy that you didn't know you had. After all, the mountain, no matter how big it is, is no match for your focused energy and desire to climb it. Mountains are meant to be climbed. Wounds are meant to be healed and problems are meant to become learning experiences. They all serve a purpose. They make us stronger mentally, emotionally and spiritually. So, here we are, in front of us is that mountain, don’t hesitate, just go ahead and climb it, climb that mountain.

A man was going to the house of some rich person. As he went along the road, he saw a box of good apples at the side of the road. He said, \"I do not want to eat those apples; for the rich man will give me much food; he will give me very nice food to eat.\" Then he took the apples and threw them away into the dust.

He went on and came to a river. The river had become very big; so he could not go over it. He waited for some time; then he said, \"I cannot go to the rich man's house today, for I cannot get over the river.\"

He began to go home. He had eaten no food that day. He began to want food. He came to the apples, and he was glad to take them out of the dust and eat them.

While the lion was fast asleep, a mouse went on top of the lion. The bold mouse played happily on top of the lion. \"Yuppie! This is really fun.\" The mouse ran around thumping and stomping here and there.

The lion was not able to sleep with all the racket. The lion knew that there was someone on top of him. So, the lion made a surprise attack and rolled on the ground.

I remember quite clearly now when the story happened.

You took it all away from me. And there I stand, I knew I was going to be the one left behind. But still I’m watching the lake, vaguely conscious, and I know my life is ending.

Every day of your life, it's important to take the time to \"smell the roses around you\" — stop and savor the experiences that bring you happiness. That's part of the real joy.

Happiness is a state of mind. When you begin to accept your present state of life, know how you are going to develop, and be ready to enjoy every moment of this process, happiness will come to you. You know how to be happy and feel that you have plenty of time and money, enough love, and anything else that will help you achieve your goals. When you feel that you have everything, that is the real contentment.

If you want to be happy, you have to choose it. You need to focus on the thing itself to make happiness happen. But if you always think that if you can accomplish something, you will be happy, and you will never be happy because you have not learned to \"smell the roses around you.\" Ironically, when you are happy, you will inevitably be more successful and more likely to have more than those who \"cling to everything\". 《英语短文阅读》之高中 篇10

I do not know who wrote those words, but I have always liked them as a reminder that the future can be anything we want to make it.

We can take the mysterious, hazy future and carve out of it anything that we can imagine, just like a sculptor carves a statue from a shapeless stone.

We are all in the position of the farmer. If we plant a good seed, we reap a good harvest. If our seed is poor and full of weeds, we reap a useless crop. If we plant nothing at all, we harvest nothing at all.

I want the future to be better than the past. I don’t want it contaminated by the mistakes and errors with which history is filled. We should all be concerned about the future because that is where we will spend the reminder of our lives.

The past is gone and static. Nothing we can do will change it. The future is before us and dynamic. Everything we do will effect it.

Each day will brings with it new frontiers, in our homes and in our businesses, if we will only recognize them. We are just at the beginning of the progress in every field of human endeavor. 《英语短文阅读》之高中 篇11

袋鼠与笼子

(Kangaroos and the Cage)

One day the staff members of a zoo called a meeting to discuss the problem--how to deal with the kangaroos that were found out of the cage. They came to the conclusion that the cage

was placed too low and decided to raise it from one to two meters high. But the next day the kangaroos were still at large and they again raised the cage to three meters.

有一天，动物园的管理员们发现袋鼠从笼子里跑出来了， 于是开会讨论，一致认为是笼子的.高度过低，所以他们决定将笼子的高度由原来的1米加高到2米。结果第二天他们发现，袋鼠还是跑到外面来，所以他们又决定再将高度加高到3米。

Quite beyond their expectation the next morning they saw the kangaroos still free to go about. They were alarmed and determined to go to all the length by raising the cage to the height of ten meters.

没想到隔天居然又看到袋鼠全跑到外面，于是管理 员们大为紧张，决定一不做二不休，将笼子的高度加高到10米。

Later a giraffe, while chatting with some kangaroos, asked them, “Do you think they will go on raising your cage?”

一天，长颈鹿和几只袋鼠在闲聊，“你们看，这些人 会不会再继续加高你们的笼子?”长颈鹿问。

An individual human existence should be like a river—small at first, narrowly contained within its banks, and rushing passionately past boulders and over waterfalls. Gradually the river grows wider, the banks recede, the waters flow more quietly, and in the end, without any visible break, they become merged in the sea, and painlessly lose their individual being.

人的生命应当像河流，开始是涓涓细流，受两岸的而十分狭窄，尔后奔腾咆哮，翻过危岩，飞越瀑布，河面渐渐开阔，河岸也随之向两边隐去，最后水流平缓，森森无际，汇入大海之中，个人就这样毫无痛苦地消失了。

There was a little boy with a bad temper. His father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, to hammer a nail in the back fence.

The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence. Then it gradually dwindled down. He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence.

Finally the day came when the boy didn't lose his temper at all. He told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper.

The days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone. The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence. He said, \"You have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same. When you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like this one.

Everything about my future was ambiguously assumed. I would get into debt by going to college, then I would be forced to get a job to pay off that debt, while still getting into more and more debt by buying a house and a car. It seemed like a never-ending cycle that had no place for the possibility of a dream.

I want more—but not necessarily in the material sense of personal wealth and success. I want more out of life. I want a passion, a conceptual dream that wouldn’t let me sleep out of pure excitement. I want to spring out of bed in the morning, rain or shine, and have that zest for life that seemed so intrinsic in early childhood.

Failing is what makes us grow, it makes us stronger and more resilient to the aspects of life we have no control over. The fear of failure, although, is what makes us stagnant and sad.

\"Let me go to the casino alone,\" the man told his wife. \"I ve got a feeling that I'll be luck today.\"

Once downstairs he went to the roulette(轮盘赌) table and

put his last two dollars on No.14.red. His number won. He continued betting and winning. Within an hour, he had acquired $50000. Feeling that his luck was about to change, he picked up his chips and walked toward the cashier.

\"Well,\" his wife asked anxiously, \"How did you make out?\" \"I lost two dollars.\" 《英语短文阅读》之高中 篇17

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the underg-rowth;

黄色的'树林里分出两条路，可惜我不能同时去涉足，我在那路口久久伫立，我向着一条路极目望去，直到它消失在丛林深处。

Then took the other, as just as fair,And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same,

但我却选择了另外一条路，它荒草萋萋，十分幽寂，显得更诱人，更美丽，虽然在这两条小路上；都很少留下旅人的足迹。

And both that morning equally lay, In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day!Yet knowing how way leads on to way,I doubted if I should ever come back.

即使那天清晨落叶满地 两条路都未经脚印污染 呵，留下一条路等改日再见 但我知道路径延绵无尽头 恐怕我难以再回返

I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence:Two roads diverged in a wood, and I - I took the one less traveled by,And that has made all the difference.

也许多少年后在某一个地方 我将轻声叹息把往事回顾；一片森林里分出两条路 而我却选择了人迹更少的一条 从此决定了我一生的道路 《英语短文阅读》之高中 篇18

A man named Fu Xian was fond of reading books. Though proficient1 in literature and etiquette2, he was stubbornly adherent3 to outworn rules. Being impractical4 and dull, he looked just like an old pedant5.

One day, Fu Xian strolled on the street with measured strides and asked whomever he met: \"Have you seen Wei San?\"

Someone pointed6 to the direction and he walked on unhurriedly with measured strides. When he saw Wei San, he panted for a while, then said: \"I just saw your wife doing needlework under a tree. She was tired and taking a nap. Your child was playing beside a well, only 3 to 5 chi away from it. It seemed to me that some accident might happen. As there is prudent7 reserve between men and women, it was not convenient for me to awaken8 your wife in person. That's why I have come all the way here to tell you.\"

Upon hearing this, Wei San was panic-stricken and hurried home. When he got home, his wife was bending over the well, wailing9 bitterly for their son. 《英语短文阅读》之高中 篇19

A young man asked Socrates the secret to success. Socrates told the young man to meet him near the river the next morning. They met. Socrates asked the young man to walk with him toward the river. When the water got up to their neck, Socrates took the young man by surprise and ducked him into the water. The boy struggled to get out but Socrates was strong and kept him there

until the boy started turning blue. Socrates pulled his head out of the water and the first thing the young man did was to gasp and take a deep breath of air. Socrates asked, “What did you want the most when you were there?” The boy replied, “Air.” Socrates said, “That is the secret to success. When you want success as badly as you wanted the air, then you will get it. There is no other secret.”

The first snow came. How beautiful it was, falling so silently all day long, all night long, on the mountains, on the meadows, on the roofs of the living, on the graves of the dead! All white save the river, that marked its course by a winding black line across the landscape; and the leafless trees,that against the leaden sky now revealed more fully the wonderful beauty and intricacies of their branches. What silence, too, came with the snow, and what seclusion! Every sound was muffled, every noise changed to something soft and musical. No more tramping hoofs, no more rattling wheels! Only the chiming of the sleigh-bells, beating as swift and merrily as the hearts of children.

By Henry Wadsworth Longfellow 作者：亨利.沃兹沃思.朗费罗 翻译：

初雪降临，多么美啊！它整日整夜那么静静地飘着，落在山岭上，落在草地上，落在世人的屋顶上，落在逝者的坟墓上。在一片白茫茫之中，只有河流在美丽的画面上划出一道弯弯曲曲的黑线；还有那叶儿落净的树木，映衬着铅灰色的天空，更显得枝丫交错，姿态万千。初雪飘落时，是何等的宁谧，何等的幽静！一切声响都趋沉寂，一切噪音都化作柔和的音乐。再也听不见马蹄得得，再也听不见车轮辚辚！唯有雪橇的铃铛，奏出和谐的.乐声，那明快欢乐的节拍犹如孩子们心房的搏动。

There is no better school than adversity. Every defeat, every heartbreak, every loss, contains its own seed, its own lesson on how to improve my performance next time.

Never again will I contribute to my downfall by refusing to face the truth and learn from my past mistakes. Because I know: gems cannot shine without polish, and I can not perfect myself without hardship.

Now I know that there are no times in life when opportunity, the chance to be and do gathers so richly about my soul when it has to suffer cruel adversity.

Then everything depends on whether I raise my head or lower it in seeking help. Whenever I am struck down, in the future, by any terrible defeat, I will inquire of myself, after the first pain has passed, how I can turn that adversity into good.

What a great opportunity that moment may present……to take the bitter root I am holding and transform it into fragrant garden of flowers.

Always will I seek the seed of triumph in every adversity. 《英语短文阅读》之高中 篇23

The sun has begun to set and I hang up the smile I’ve worn all day, though I will make sure it is the first thing I put back on in the morning just in case it is “that day.” I want her to see me at my very best.

I do the normal routine, eat dinner, clean the house, write—the usual stuff. And then I lay down hoping to fall asleep quickly so my new day will hurry up and arrive. A new day with a brand new sun. But as I lay there and wait for the world to turn half way around, I think about her. And sometimes I smile, and sometimes that smile will turn into asnicker, and then often that snicker will

turn into a burst of laughter.

And then there are times I get that lump in my throat and that tight feeling in my chest, and sometimes that feeling overwhelms me and begins to turn into a tear, and often that tear multiplies itself and I can no longer fight the feeling and I lose the battle. Then somehow through either the joy or the sadness I drift and find myself asleep. Then the dreams begin and keep me company until my new day arrives. 《英语短文阅读》之高中 篇24

Once there were two mice. They were friends. One mouse lived in the country; the other mouse lived in the city. After many years the Country mouse saw the City mouse; he said, “Do come and see me at my house in the country.”

So the City mouse went. The City mouse said, ：“This food is not good, and your house is not good. Why do you live in a hole in the field? You should come and live in the city. You would live in a nice house made of stone. You would have nice food to eat. You must come and see me at my house in the city.”

The Country mouse went to the house of the City mouse. It was a very good house. Nice food was set ready for them to eat. But just as they began to eat they heard a great noise. The City mouse cried, “ Run! Run! The cat is coming!” They ran away quickly and hid. After some time they came out. When they came out, the Country mouse said, “I do not like living in the city. I like living in my hole in the field. For it is nicer to be poor and happy, than to be rich and afraid.” 《英语短文阅读》之高中 篇25

The secret of success

One of the keys to being successful in anything you do is persistence.Once you have determined exactly what you want to accomplish，you must take massive action on a consistent ，and persistent basis in order to succeed.

If you take the time to study any successful person ，you will learn that the vast majority of them have had more \"failure\"than they have had \"successes\".This because successful people are persistent; the more they stumble and fall，the more they get right back up and get going again.On the other hand，people

that don't get back up and try again，never reach success.

Absolutely，definitely，without any doubt，I have every confidence in myself.I will succeed.I can make it !

译文： 成功的秘诀

任何事情取得成功的关键之一就是坚持不懈。一旦你确定了自己要达成什么目标，就一定要采取大量行动，并且始终如一、坚持不懈，直到成功。

如果你花时间去研究那些成功人士，你就会发现，他们绝大多数人的'“失败”都比“成功”多。这是因为成功人士是坚持不懈的.他们摔倒的越多，站起来继续前行的次数就会越多。另一方面，那些摔倒或不爬起来再尝试的人，永远不会成功。

绝对地，毫无疑问地，我对自己充满信心，我一定会成功的。 《英语短文阅读》之高中 篇27

A self-important lion in the jungle tried to make his mastery clear to all.

He was so confident that he paid no attention to the smaller animals and went right up to a bear. He asked the bear, \"Who is the king of the jungle?\" The bear replied, \"Of course you are.\"

Then the lion asked a tiger the same question. The tiger replied with some reluctance, \"Of course you are.\" And then he went to ask an elephant. But the elephant would not allow the lion to do so. He suddenly took hold of the lion with his long nose and bounced the lion against a tree, leaving him bleeding and badly shaken up.

When the lion finally got up, he blamed the elephant and said: \"Even if you couldn't answer my question, it's not necessary

for you to act so rough.\"

热带丛林里的一个妄自菲薄的狮子试图使所有的动物都明白它的统治地位。

它非常自信，对较小的动物不屑一顾，而是直接去问一只黑熊：“谁是丛林里的大王呀？” 黑熊回答说：“当然是你呀。”

于是它又去问一个老虎同样的`问题。老虎有点勉强地回答说：“当然是你呀！”然后他又去问一头大象。可是大象不买它的账，突然用它的长鼻子把狮子抓起来向一棵树扔过去，让它鲜血淋漓和浑身发抖。

狮子终于爬起来时，它责怪大象说：“即使你回答不了我的问题，也用不着这么粗鲁嘛。”
