A Great Friend
Anonymous
As I am now a senior high school student,I have a great many friends,but
there is one whom I prize over all the rest.I first made his acquaintance
when I began to go to school.He has been my constant companion ever
since.
Though he is serious in appearance,he never fails to be interesting.Often
he is clever,sometimes even merry and gay.He is the most knowledgeable
friend a person could have.He knows virtually every language of the world,
all the events of history,and the words of all the great poets and
philosophers.A kindly benefactor,he is admired and enjoyed by everyone
who makes his acquaintance.
To me,he has been a great teacher as well as a friend.He first taught me
the secrets of my own language and then those of others.With these keys
he showed us how to unlock all the arts and sciences of man.
My friend is endlessly patient.Dull though I may be,I can return to him
again and again,and he is always ready to teach me.When I am bored,
he entertains me.When I am dispirited,he lifts me up.When I am lonely,
he keeps me company.He is a friend not only to me but to millions around
the world.Shall I tell you his name?His name is “reading”.
爱美爱美
The love of beauty is an essential part of all healthy human nature.It is a moral
quality.The absence of it is not an assured ground of condemnation ,but the
presence of it is an in-variable sign of goodness of heart .In proportion to the
degree in which it is felt will probably be the in which nobleness and beauty of
character will be attained.
Natural beauty is an all-pervading presence.The universe is its temple.It unfolds
into the numberless flowers of spring.It waves in the branches of trees and the
green blades of grass.It haunts the depths of the earth and the sea.It gleams
from the hues of the shell and the precious stone.And not only these minute
objects but the oceans,the mountains,the clouds,the stars,the rising and the
setting sun-all overflow with beauty.This beauty is so precious,and so congenial
to our tenderest and noblest feelings,that it is painful to think of the multitude
of people living in the midst of it and yet remaining almost blind to it.
All persons should seek to become acquainted with the beauty in nature.There
is not a worm we tread upon,nor a leaf that dances merrily as it falls before the
autumn winds,but calls for our study and admiration.The power to appreciate
beauty not merely increases our sources of happiness—it enlarges our moral
nature,too.Beauty calms our restlessness and dispels our cares.Go into the
fields or the woods,spend a summer day by the sea or the mountains,and
all your little perplexities and anxieties will vanish,Listen to sweet music,and
your foolish fears and petty jealousies will pass away.The beauty of the world
helps us to seek and find the beauty of goodness.

We’re Just Beginning
Charles F Kettering
“We are reading the first verse of the first chapter of a book whose
pages are infinite…”
I do not know who wrote these 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 as 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 remainder of out 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 affect it.
Each day 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.
