no.1 a helping hand 伸出援手
a man who lived in a block of apartments thought it was raining and put his head out the window to check. as he did so a glass eye fell into his hand.
he looked up to see where it came from in time to see a young woman looking down.
"is this yours?" he asked.
she said, "yes, could you bring it up?" and the man agreed.
on arrival she was profuse in her thanks and offered the man a drink. as she was very attractive he agreed. shortly afterwards she said, "i'm about to have dinner. there's plenty. would you like to join me?"
he readily accepted her offer and both enjoyed a lovely meal. as the evening was drawing to a close the lady said, "i've had a marvelous evening. would you like to stay the night?"
the man hesitated then said, "do you act like this with every man you meet?"
"no," she replied, "only those who catch my eye."
no.2 a place to sleep 睡覺的地方
by the time john pulled into the little town, every hotel room was taken. "you've got to have a room somewhere." he pleaded. "or just a bed--i don't care where."
"well, i do have a double room with one occupant," admitted the manager," and he might be glad to split the cost. but to tell you the truth, he snores so loudly that people in adjoining rooms have complained in the past. i'm not sure it'd be worth it to you."
"no problem," the tired traveler assured him. "i'll take it."
the next morning, john came down to breakfast bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. when asked about how he slept, he replied, "never better."
the manager was impressed. "no problem with the other guy snoring, then?"
"nope. i shut him up in no time."
"how'd you manage that?"
"he was already in bed, snoring away, when i came in the room," john said. "i went over, gave him a kiss on the cheek, said, 'goodnight, beautiful.' with that he sat up all night watching me."

the impulses to wordless prayer, 推動著我們做無言的禱告的,

4、青年 youth
youth is not a time of life, it is a state of mind ; it is not rosy cheeks , red lips and supple knees, it is a matter of the emotions : it is the freshness ; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life .
youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity of the appetite , for adventure over the love of ease. this often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20 . nobody grows old merely by a number of years . we grow old by deserting our ideals.
years wrinkle the skin , but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul . worry , fear , self –distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust .
whether 60 of 16 , there is in every human being ‘s heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing childlike appetite of what’s next and the joy of the game of living . in the center of your heart and my heart there’s a wireless station : so long as it receives messages of beauty , hope ,cheer, courag
5、中國人 am chinese
ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls,
i am chinese. i am proud of being a chinese with five thousand years of civilization behind. i've learned about the four great inventions made by our forefathers. i've learned about the great wall and the yangtze river. i've learned about zhang heng(張衡)and i've learned about zheng he(鄭和)．who says the yellow river civilization has vanished(消失)？i know that my ancestors have made miracles(奇蹟)on this fertile land and we're still ma-ki-ng miracles. who can ignore the fact that we have established ourselves as a great state in the world, that we have devised our own nuclear weapons, that we have successfully sent our satellites into space, and that our gnp ranks no. 7 in the world? we have experienced the plunders (掠奪) by other nations, and we have experienced the war. yet, based on such ruins, there still stands our nation----china, unyielding and unconquerable!
i once came across an american tourist. she said, “china has a history of five thousand years, but the us only has a history of 200 years. five thousand years ago, china took the lead in the world, and now it is the us that is leading.”my heart was deeply touched by these words. it is true that we're still a developing nation, but it doesn't mean that we can despise (鄙視) ourselves. we have such a long-standing history, we have such abundant resources, we have such intelligent and diligent people, and we have enough to be proud of. we have reasons to say proudly： we are sure to take the lead in the world in the future again, for our problems are big, but our ambition (雄心) is even bigger, our challenges (挑戰) are great, but our will is evengreater.
i am chinese. i have inherited (繼承) black hair and blackeyes. i have inherited the virtues of my ancestors. i have also taken over responsibility. i am sure, that wherever i go, whatever i do, i shall never forget that i am chinese!
thank you.
today is monday; i wake up at 6 o’clock in the morning. then i have my breakfast at home and take the subway to school. i am quite excited about this day, because our chemistry teacher will teach us to do an interesting experiment. this experiment is about how to create soap. last week, the chemistry teacher promised that we would have something fun in this week. ma-ki-ng our own special soap is the mission in this class.
when the experience begins, the whole class is very exciting; we mix the oil, water and lye. you need to be very careful, because the lye is harmful to the skin. then we will stir the oil and lye for about ten minutes, the chemistry reaction will make the liquid into solid. then the soap comes into being. although the process is tired, we have a lot of fun. the most important thing is we learn how to make soap. the time passes so quickly, we feel very busy but learn a lot of useful things.
今天是星期一，我早上六點就起床了。再吃過了早餐之後，我搭地鐵去學校。對於今天要做的事情，我很興奮。因為我們的化學老師要教我們做個有趣的實驗。這個實驗就是如何製作肥皂。上個星期，化學老師向我們保證這週會做個有趣的實驗，而創造出屬於自己的一塊肥皂就是這次課的主要內容。
當實驗開始的時候，整個班級都很興奮。我們把油、水和鹼液混合在一起。你必須非常小心，因為鹼液會腐蝕面板。然後我們就開始攪拌液體。大約10 分鐘過後，發生的化學反應就把液體變成了固體，肥皂就形成了。雖然這個過程很累，但是我們得到了很多樂趣。最重要的是我們學會了如何製作肥皂。時間過得太快，我們感覺很忙碌，但也學到了很多有用的東西。
