把别人的幸福当做自己的幸福，把鲜花奉献给他人，把棘刺留给自己！
Where There Is Great Love， There Are Always Miracles哪里有真爱存在，哪里就有奇迹
1。 Where there is great love， there are always miracles。
2。 Love is like a butterfly。 It goes where it pleases and it pleases where it goes。
3。 If I had a single flower for every time I think about you， I could walk forever in my garden。
4。 Within you I lose myself， without you I find myself wanting to be lost again。
5。 At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet。
6。 Look into my eyes —you will see what you mean to me。
7。 Distance makes the hearts grow fonder。
8。 I need him like I need the air to breathe。
9。 If equal affection cannot be， let the more loving be me。
10。 Love is a vine that grows into our hearts。
11。 If I know what love is， it is because of you。
1。 哪里有真爱存在，哪里就有奇迹。
2。 爱情就像一只蝴蝶，它喜欢飞到哪里，就把欢乐带到哪里。
3。 假如每次想起你我都会得到一朵鲜花，那么我将永远在花丛中徜徉。
4。 有了你，我迷失了自我。失去你，我多么希望自己再度迷失。
5。 每一个沐浴在爱河中的人都是诗人。
6。 看看我的眼睛，你会发现你对我而言意味着什么。
7。 距离使两颗心靠得更近。
8。 我需要他，正如我需要呼吸空气。
9。 如果没有相等的爱，那就让我爱多一些吧。
10。 爱是长在我们心里的藤蔓。
11。 因为你，我懂得了爱。
Please Give Love a Pair of Wing to Fly Freely给一双翅膀，让爱自由飞翔
1。 There was once a lonely girl who longed so much for love。 One day while he was walking in the woods she found two starving songbirds。 She took them home and put them in a *all cage。 She cared them with love and the birds grew strong。 Every morning they greeted her with a wonderful song。 The girl felt great love for the birds。
2。 One day the girl left the door to the cage open。 The larger and stronger of the two birds flew from the cage。 The girl was so frightened that he would fly away。 As he flew close， she grasped him wildly。 Her heart felt glad at her success in capturing him。 Sudden*he felt the bird go limp。 She opened her hand and stared in horror at the dead bird。 Her desperate love had killed him。 She noticed the other bird moving back and forth on the edge of the cage。 She could feel his great need for freedom。 He needed to soar into the clear， blue sky。 She lifted him from the cage and tossed him softly into the air。 The bird circled once， twice， three times。 The girl watched delightedly at the bird’s enjoyment。 Her heart was no longer concerned with her own loss。 She wanted the bird to be happy。 Suddenly the bird flew closer and landed softly on her shoulder。 It song the sweetest melody that she had ever heard。
3。 This story tells us： The fastest way to lose love is to hold on it too tight； the best way to keep love is to give it wings！
1。 从前有个寂寞的女孩儿非常渴望爱的来临。一天，当她在丛林中散步的时候，发现了两只快要被饿死的小鸟。女孩儿十分同情它们，于是便小心地将鸟儿捧了起来，然后把它们放在一个小笼子里带回了家。经过她一段日子的悉心照料，鸟儿一天天地好了起来，变得越来越活泼。为了报答女孩儿，每天清晨鸟儿们都会用美妙的歌声向她表示问候。女孩儿不由得深深地爱上这两只鸟儿。
2。 一天， 女孩儿打开鸟笼喂食。那只较大的鸟儿突然飞了出来。见到这一情形，女孩儿十分惊恐，她非常担心鸟儿会飞走，于是便不顾一切地抓住了它，并将它紧紧地握在手中。女孩儿非常高兴，终于又把它捉了回来。可突然间，她发现手中的鸟儿渐渐变得四肢无力了。她连忙松开了紧握的双手，却发现鸟儿已经死去。女孩儿伤心地看着它，突然想到是自己不顾一切的爱害死了它。就在此时，另一只鸟儿在笼子里拼命地扇着翅膀，想从笼子里冲出来。女孩儿深切地感受到它对自由的无限向往——它渴望在湛蓝的天空中自由翱翔。于是女孩儿便把它放了出来，她用双手将鸟儿托起，并轻轻地抛向空中。鸟儿嗖地一下子飞向窗外，它在空中盘旋着，一圈，两圈，三圈……看着鸟儿那快乐的样子，女孩儿高兴极了。她已无暇顾及自己所失去的一切，只希望鸟儿能得到幸福。突然，鸟儿飞近了，轻轻地落在她的肩上，唱起了它最动听的——一支女孩儿从未听到过的歌。
4。 这个故事告诉我们：当你将爱死死地抓在手中，你很快就会失去它，当你给爱一对翅膀——将爱放飞，那么爱就会永驻。
The Warmth of the Human Nature人性的温暖
1。 After moving into a new residence， there was a sudden blackout and darkness in the house before the hostess tidied up。
2。 The hostess just touched the candle and matches when a tap at the door came from outside。
3。 Opening the door， she found it was a *all girl， who picking up her little face and asked， “Auntie is there a candle in your home？”
4。 How so？ The first day I just moved the neighbor sent for their child to borrow something。 Weren’t they bullying the newcomer？ Today I lend them a candle and maybe they would come to borrow onion or garlic。 No。 No way！ So the hostess said， “Oh dear， unluckily， your aunt just moved here and don’t prepare the candle。” After that， she was about to close the door。
5。 “Auntie， look， my mother asked for me to send it。” The *all girl， like a conjurer， drew her hand from behind and raised high two thick candles。
6。 Facing the crystal-clear eyes of the girl， the hostess was shocked， weakly leaning on the door with her hands covering her face and having no nerve to look at the girl。
1。 乔迁新居，女主人还没收拾完毕，突然停电了，室内一片漆黑。
2。 女主人刚摸到蜡烛和火柴，门外便传来了“笃笃”的敲门声。
3。 打开门一看，原来是一个小女孩，她仰着小脸问道：“阿姨，你家有蜡烛吗？”
4。 怎么？我刚搬来第一天邻家就支使孩子来借东西，这不是欺负新来的吗？今天借给她蜡烛，说不定明天又来借葱、蒜。不行，绝对不行！女主人便说：“哎呀，真不巧，阿姨刚搬来，没准备蜡烛。”说完，她就准备关门。
5。 “阿姨，你看，我妈妈让我送来的。”小女孩变戏法似的从背后抽手，高高地举着两根粗粗的蜡烛。
6。 面对孩子清澈的眼睛，女主人一下惊呆了，继而无力地倚着门，双手捂面，不敢与孩子对视……
The Pudding of Love爱的布丁
1。 I stood in the aisle of the market for nearly ten minutes trying to make a simple decision about what type of pudding to buy。 My life is such that anything with an “instant” label on it grabs my attention。 But oh the memories of my mom making chocolate “cook and serve” pudding。
2。 As I stood there in the market， I could see myself as a child waiting by the stove and watching my mom slow*tir the pudding until it reached that creamy velvet rich texture。 I could see her pouring it into the cups， leaving just enough stuck to the sides of the pot to entice me to take the stirring spoon and scrape every morsel， until the pot barely needed to be cleaned。
3。 The process of making this dreamy dessert takes patience and time。 Two things I find myself lacking in my life today。
4。 On one hand， the instant is easier and requires one bowl。 No muss。 No fuss。 But too many times in my life I have taken the easy way。 Oh yes， I have reached my goal in the process。 But to what gain？ Instant stuff brings little satisfaction in life。 A solid success that one hangs proudly on the wall is one that requires the same special attention as “cook and serve” pudding。
1。 我在超市的过道上站了近十分钟，试图做出一个简单的决定：买哪种布丁。在我的生活中，任何标有“速食或速溶”说明的东西总会吸引我的注意。然而，我突然想起母亲烹制“即做即食”的巧克力布丁的场景。
2。 我站在超市里，回想起自己孩提时等候在炉子旁，看着母亲慢慢地搅动布丁直到它呈现出奶油色如天鹅绒般柔软而醇厚的状态的那个情景。我看着她把做好的布丁倒进杯子里，然后会有一些粘在罐子的内壁，这诱惑我拿起用来搅拌的勺子刮出罐子里的每一点布丁，直到把它刮得干干净净，几乎不用再清洗。
3。 制作这种美味的餐后甜点需要耐心和时间，而这两者正是我现今的生活所缺乏的。
4。 一方面，速食食物更方便，只需要一只碗就好。不会弄得一团糟，也无需劳师动众。但是在生活中，我过多地选择了最便捷的方式。噢，是的，我在这个过程中达到了目的。然而，我获得了什么？速食的东西并不能给生活带来什么满足感。一份令人自豪的踏实的成就需要像烹制“即做即食”的布丁那样特别的用心。
True Love Always Prevails 真爱胜过一切
1。 True love is that we stick together in “thick and thin”。 Especially when it’s thin， when it’s troublesome。 Then we should really bridge over the “troubled water”。 That’s what they say in English。 But most of us fail the test， to ourselves， not to our partners。 He might leave you； he might stay with you， because you’re nice or not nice。 But you fail yourself。 You leave yourself。 You leave the noblest being that you really are。 So we should check up on this to our family members or whomever that is beloved and dear to us。 Most of the time in critical situations， we just turn our backs and that is no good。
2。 Of course we have our anger， our frustrations， because our partners are not as loving as usual， or whomever that is； but he or she is in a different situation。 At that time， she or he is in mental suffering。 It’s just as bad as or even worse than physical suffering。 Physical suffering you can take a pill or you can have an injection and it stops or at least temporari*tops， and you feel the effect right away； or at least if people are in physical suffering， everyone sympathizes with them。
3。 But when they are in mental anguish， and we pound them more on that， and we turn our backs and become cold and indifferent， that is even crueler， even worse。 That person will be swimming alone in suffering。 And especially they trust us as the next of kin， the next person， the one that they think they can rely on in times of need； and then at that time， we just turn around and are snobbish， because they didn’t treat us nice so we just want to revenge。 That’s not the time。 You can revenge later， when he’s in better shape。 Just slap him。
4。 Actually， at that time， the person is not his usual self anymore。 He was probably under very great pressure that he lost his own control。 It’s not really lost his own control， but for example， when you are in a hurry， your talk is different。 Right？ “Hand me that coat！ Quick！ Quick！ Quick！” Things like that。 But normally， you would say “Honey， please， can you give me that coat。” Is that not so？ Or when you’re in pain —for example stomach pain， heartache or whatever—you scream loudly； and anyone who comes to talk to you， you don't talk in the usual way anymore， because you’re in pain。
5。 Similarly， when you are in a mental or psychological pain， you talk also in a very grouchy way， very cross。 But that is understandable。 So if we—any so-called loving partner or family member—do not understand even this very least， very basic concept， then we’re finished。 Then we are really in a bad situation。 It’s not that the partner will do anything to us。 Whether he does anything to us later or not， that is no problem。 The problem is us。 The problem is we degrade ourselves， that we make less of a being of ourselves than we should be， than we are supposed to be， or that we really are。 So do not make less of a being of yourselves。
1。 真爱是不管情况好坏都在一起，特别是当情况不好、有麻烦的时候，更应该如俗话所说的“兵来将挡，水来土掩”，想办法克服困难。但是大部分人都不能通过这项考验而背离了自己，而不是背离了我们的伴侣。因为不论你好或不好，你的伴侣留下或是离开，是你自己通不过考验，背离了你自己，背弃了内在真正高贵的你，所以我们应该检查自己对家人或任何我们所钟爱的人的关系，通常在关键的时刻我们反而背弃他们，这样很不好。
2。 当然我们也会觉得生气、挫折，因为我们的伴侣不再像以前一样可爱，不过这是因为他（她）正处在不同的状况，精神正受煎熬。精神痛苦和生理的痛苦一样难受，有时候甚至更糟。生理的痛苦可以用吃药或打针来制止，至少可以暂时止痛，可以马上见效；或者至少身体受苦时，大家都会同情她。
3。 可是当有人处在心理的极度痛苦时，我们却落井下石，背弃他，变得冷漠不关心，这是更残忍、更糟糕的事，那个人就只能孤孤单单地在痛苦中挣扎。尤其他们信任我们是最亲密的人，认为在需要时可以信靠，可是我们却很势利转身离去，只是因为他们不再对我们好或是我们只是想要报复。这真不是时候！你可以等一下再报复，等他好一点时，打他一巴掌。
4。 事实上，那时候那个人已经不再是平常的他，可能已因压力极大而失去控制；也不完全是失去控制，而是像当你很匆忙时，说话的语气自然会不一样，你会说：“拿外衣给我，快快快！”而在平常你则会说：“亲爱的，能不能请你拿那件外衣给我。”是不是这样？或当你在痛苦时，像是胃痛或头痛时你会大叫，人家来看你时你也无法像平常那样谈话，因为你正痛得不得了。
5。 同样的，当你处在精神或心理的疼痛时，你的谈话自然会显得粗暴，但这是可以理解的。如果我们这些所谓的爱的伴侣或家人不知道这最起码、最基本的观念，我们就完了，我们会很糟糕。并非另一半会对我们怎样，无论对方以后有没有对我们怎样，那都不是问题，问题是在我们自己——我们贬低了自己，不配自己应有的身份，所以千万不要贬低自己。
Who Gave Me the Ears是谁给我的耳朵
1。 “Can I see my baby？” the happy new mother asked。
2。 When the bundle was nestled in her arms and she moved the fold of cloth to look upon his tiny face， she gasped。 The doctor turned quickly and looked out the tall hospital window。 The baby had been born without ears。
3。 Time proved that the baby’s hearing was perfect。 It was only his appearance that was marred。 When he rushed home from school one day and flung himself into his mother’s arms， she sighed， knowing that his life was to be a succession of heartbreaks。
4。 He blurted out the tragedy。 “A boy， a big boy……called me a freak。”
5。 He grew up， handsome for his misfortune。 A favorite with his fellow students， he might have been class president， but for that。 He developed a gift， a talent for literature and music。
6。 “But you might mingle with other young people，” his mother reproved him， but felt a kindness in her heart。
7。 The boy’s father had a session with the family physician…… “Could nothing be done？”
8。 “I believe I could graft on a pair of outer ears， if they could be procured，” the doctor decided。 Where upon the search began for a person who would make such a sacrifice for a young man。
9。 Two years went by。 One day， his father said to the son， “You’re going to the hospital， son。 Mother and I have someone who will donate the ears you need。 But it’s a secret。”
10。 The operation was a brilliant success， and a new person emerged。 His talents blossomed into genius， and school and college became a series of triumphs。
11。 Later he married and entered the diplomatic service。 One day， he asked his father， “Who gave me the ears？ Who gave me so much？ I could never do enough for him or her。”
12。 “I do not believe you could，” said the father， “but the agreement was that you are not to know……not yet。”
13。 The years kept their profound secret， but the day did come。 One of the darkest days that ever passes through a son。 He stood with his father over his mother’s casket。 Slowly， tenderly， the father stretched forth a hand and raised the thick， reddish brown hair to reveal the mother had no outer ears。
14。 “Mother said she was glad she never let her hair be cut，” his father whispered gently， “and nobody ever thought mother less beautiful， did they？”
1。 “我可以看看我的宝宝吗？”初为人母的她开心地问道。
2。 当裹着的婴儿放到她臂弯里，她掀开裹着婴儿的布，在看到他的小脸时，她不禁倒吸了一口气。医生快速地转过身，透过医院的高层窗户向外看去。婴儿生下来就没有耳朵。
3。 时间证明婴儿的听力毫无问题，只是有损他的相貌。一天，当他匆匆从学校跑回家，扑向母亲的怀抱时，她叹了口气，意识到他的生活注定会受到一连串的打击。
4。 他脱口诉说遭到的不幸：“一个男孩，一个大个子男孩……他喊我怪胎。”
5。 他长大了，虽然不幸但还是长得挺帅。颇受同学的欢迎，要不是有缺陷，他很可能当了班长。他对文学和音乐很有天赋和潜质。
6。 “但你可能会和其他年轻人一样。”母亲责备地说，但从心底里觉得很欣慰。
7。 男孩的父亲与家庭医生商量……“难道真无法补救吗？”
8。 “我认为可以移植一双外耳，如果能够找到的话。”医生做了决定，于是他们开始寻求一个愿意为这个年轻人做出牺牲的人。
9。 两年过去了。一天，父亲对儿子说，“孩子，你要住院了。我和你妈找到愿意为你捐献耳朵的人了。但要求保密。”
10。 手术获得了巨大成功，一个新人诞生了。他的潜力发展成一个天才，在中学和大学都取得了一连串的成功。
11。 后来他结婚了，进入外交行业工作。一天，他问父亲：“是谁给我的耳朵？谁给了我那么多？我做多少都无法报答他（她）。”
12。 “我也这样认为，”父亲说，“但是协议上说你不能知道……还不到时候。”
13。 他们的秘密遵守了很多年，但这天终于来了，这也是儿子度过的最黑暗的日子。他和父亲站在母亲的棺材前，慢慢地，轻柔地，父亲向前伸出一只手，掀开母亲浓密的、红褐色的头发：母亲竟然没有耳朵！
14。 “你母亲说过她很高兴，她从不理发，”父亲轻柔地低声说，“但没人觉得母亲没以前美丽，是吧？”
The Difference a Teacher Can Make她的关心改变了男孩的一生
1。 Steve， a twelve-year-old boy with alcoholic parents， was about to be lost forever， by the U。S. education system。 Remarkably， he could read， yet， in spite of his reading skills， Steve was failing。 He had been failing since first grade， as he was passed on from grade to grade。 Steve was a big boy， looking more like a teenager than a twelve year old， yet， Steve went unnoticed…… until Miss White。
2。 Miss White was a *iling， young， beautiful redhead， and Steve was in love！ For the first time in his young life， he couldn’t take his eyes off his teacher； yet， still he failed。 He never did his homework， and he was always in trouble with Miss White。 His heart would break under her sharp words， and when he was punished for failing to turn in his homework， he felt just miserable！ Still， he did not study。
3。 In the middle of the first semester of school， the entire seventh grade was tested for basic skills。 Steve hurried through his tests， and continued to dream of other things， as the day wore on。 His heart was not in school， but in the woods， where he often escaped alone， trying to shut out the sights， sounds and *ells of his alcoholic home。 No one checked on him to see if he was safe。 No one knew he was gone， because no one was sober enough to care。 Oddly， Steve never missed a day of school。
4。 One day， Miss White’s impatient voice broke into his daydreams。
5。 “Steve！” Startled， he turned to look at her。
6。 “Pay attention！”
7。 Steve locked his gaze on Miss White with adolescent adoration， as she began to go over the test results for the seventh grade。
8。 “You all did pretty well，” she told the class， “except for one boy， and it breaks my heart to tell you this， but……” She hesitated， pinning Steve to his seat with a sharp stare， her eyes searching his face。
9。 “……The *artest boy in the seventh grade is failing my class！”
10。 She just stared at Steve， as the class spun around for a good look。 Steve dropped his eyes and carefully examined his fingertips。
11。 After that， it was war！！ Steve still wouldn't do his homework。 Even as the punishments became more severe， he remained stubborn。
12。 “Just try it！ ONE WEEK！” He was unmoved。
13。 “You’re *art enough！ You’ll see a change！” Nothing fazed him。
14。 “Give yourself a chance！ Don’t give up on your life！” Nothing。
15。 “Steve！ Please！ I care about you！”
16。 Wow！ Suddenly， Steve got it！！ Someone cared about him？ Someone， totally unattainable and perfect， CARED ABOUT HIM！
17。 Steve went home from school， thoughtful， that afternoon。 Walking into the house， he took one look around。 Both parents were passed out， in various stages of undress， and the stench was overpowering！ He， quickly， gathered up his camping gear， a jar of peanut butter， a loaf of bread， a bottle of water， and this time……his schoolbooks。 Grim faced and determined he headed for the woods。
18。 The following Monday he arrived at school on time， and he waited for Miss White to enter the classroom。 She walked in， all sparkle and *iles！ God， she was beautiful！ He yearned for her *ile to turn on him。 It did not。
19。 Miss White， immediately， gave a quiz on the weekend homework。 Steve hurried through the test， and was the first to hand in his paper。 With a look of surprise， Miss White took his paper。 Obviously puzzled， she began to look it over。 Steve walked back to his desk， his heart pounding within his chest。 As he sat down， he couldn’t resist another look at the lovely woman。
20。 Miss White’ face was in total shock！ She glanced up at Steve， then down， then up。 Suddenly， her face broke into a radiant *ile。 The *artest boy in the seventh grade had just passed his first test！
21。 From that moment nothing was the same for Steve。 Life at home remained the same， but life still changed。 He discovered that not only could he learn， but he was good at it！ He discovered that he could understand and retain knowledge， and that he could translate the things he learned into his own life。 Steve began to excel！ And he continued this course throughout his school life。
22。 After high-school Steve enlisted in the Navy， and he had a successful military career。 During that time， he met the love of his life， he raise*mily， and he graduated from college Magna Cum Laude。 During his naval career， he inspired many young people， who without him， might not have believed in themselves。 Steve began a second career after the Navy， and he continues to inspire others， as an adjunct professor in a nearby college。
23。 Miss White left a great legacy。 She saved one boy who has changed many lives。 I know， because I am the love of his life。
24。 You see， it’s simple， really。 A change took place within the heart of one boy， all because of one teacher， who cared。
1。 史蒂夫已经12岁了，他的父母都是酒鬼，他就要彻底脱离自己的学校生活了。然而很明显，他能够阅读，但他总不及格。从一年级开始，一年一年过去了，他依然不及格。史蒂夫长得很健壮，看上去比12岁的孩子要大。但他一直都被人忽略，直到有一天怀特小姐的到来。
2。 怀特小姐总是笑容可掬，年轻，而且有一头迷人的红头发。她是史蒂夫喜欢的类型。这是他平生第一次，无法把眼睛从老师身上移开，然而，他还是不及格。他没有做作业，他总是找怀特小姐的碴。每次她说出尖刻的话时，他都感到自己的心已经碎了。每次完不成作业被罚的时候，他都感到非常痛苦。但他依然不学习。
3。 在第一学期的期中，整个七年级要进行基础技能测验。史蒂夫匆匆完成了自己的测验，并继续一天天地幻想其他的事情。他的心并不在学校，而在他经常独自躲藏的树林，在那里，他试图摆脱酒鬼之家的声响和气味。没有人关心他到底安不安全。也没有人知道他已经走了，因为所有的人都兴奋地没有精力顾及其他。不过奇怪的是，史蒂夫从没有旷过一次课。
4。 一天，怀特小姐急躁的声音打破了他的白日梦。
5。 “史蒂夫！”他感到很吃惊，转过头去看着她。
6。 “注意力要集中！”
7。 她宣布七年级测验结果的时候，史蒂夫用那种青春期特有的崇敬盯着怀特小姐。
8。 她对全班说：“你们都考得很好。除了一个男生。告诉你们这个真让我感到伤心。但是……”她停顿了一下，眼光转向史蒂夫的座位，用犀利的目光在他的脸上搜寻着什么。
9。 “我们七年级最聪明的孩子，我的科目竟然不及格！”
10。 她盯着史蒂夫，全班同学都转过头来看着他。史蒂夫低下头，盯着自己的指尖。
11。 然而，在那之后，战争依然继续！史蒂夫依然不想做作业。即使惩罚更加严厉，他依然非常顽固。
12。 “就试一下！一个星期也可以啊！”而他依然无动于衷。
13。 “你非常聪明！你会有很大的变化！”任何话语都无法打动他。
14。 “给自己一个机会！不要放弃自己的生活。”依然无动于衷。
15。 “史蒂夫，求求你。我很关心你！”
16。 哦！突然，史蒂夫好像明白了！有人关心他？有人竟然不可思议地关心他？
17。 那天下午，史蒂夫满怀思绪地回了家。走进屋子之后，他环顾了一下四周。发现父母裸露着身子已经睡了。屋子里的恶臭让人无法忍受。他迅速找齐自己的露营装备，一瓶花生酱，一块面包，一瓶水，而且这次他还带上了自己的课本。脸上带着严肃和决心，他又去了树林。
18。 接下来的周一早上，他准时到了学校，等着怀特小姐走进教室。她神采飞扬地走进来了，脸上带着微笑。天哪！她真是太漂亮了！他希望她能对他微笑，但是没有。
19。 怀特小姐立刻决定对周末的家庭作业进行测验。史蒂夫很快完成了测验，并且第一个交上了答卷。怀特小姐满脸惊奇地收下了他的卷子。很明显，她是满怀疑惑的批阅试卷。史蒂夫回到自己的座位，心怦怦直跳。坐下之后，他禁不住再次看了一眼这位美丽的女士。
20。 怀特小姐的脸上充满了惊奇。她瞟了一眼史蒂夫，然后又低下头去，但又再次抬起头来。突然，她的脸上绽放出了笑容。七年级最聪明的男孩终于第一次通过了测验。
21。 从那一刻起，史蒂夫如同换了一个人。虽然家里的生活依旧，但他的生活确实发生了变化。他发现自己不仅能够学习，而且能够学得很好！他发现，自己能够理解并牢牢记住知识，并能将学到的知识运用到自己的生活中。史蒂夫开始变得非常优秀。而且在他的整个学生生涯中，他一直非常优秀。
22。 高中毕业之后，史蒂夫应征加入了海军，并且在军队中也非常成功。那段时间，他认识了自己生命中的最爱，有了自己的家庭，并从Magna Cum Laude大学毕业。在他的海军生涯中，他激励了很多年轻人。如果没有他，这些人可能无法认识到自己的价值。从海军退伍之后，史蒂夫开始了第二职业，他在附近的一所大学担任副教授，并继续启迪他人。
23。 怀特小姐留下了宝贵的财产。她挽救了一个改变许多其他生命的男孩。我了解这些，因为我就是他生命中的最爱。
24。 看到了吗？其实就是这么简单。仅仅由于一个老师的关心，一个男孩的内心发生了巨大的变化。
The echo of mountain山的回声
1。 A son and his father were walking in the valley。
2。 Suddenly， his son falls， hurts himself and screams， “Ah！”
3。 To his surprise， he hears the voice repeating， somewhere in the mountain， “Ah！”
4。 Curious， he yells， “Who are you？”
5。 He receives the answers， “Who are you？”
6。 And then he screams to the mountain， “I admire you！”
7。 The voice answers， “I admire you！”
8。 Angered at the response， he screams， “Coward！”
9。 He receives the answer， “Coward！”
10。 He looks at his father and asks， “What’s going on？”
11。 His father *iles and says， “My son， pay attention！”
12。 Again the man screams， “You are a champion！”
13。 The voice answers， “You are a champion！”
14。 The boy is surprised， but does not understand。
15。 Then his father explains， “People call this ECHO， but really this is LIFE。 If you want more love in the world， create more love in your heart。 Life will give you back everything you have given to it。”
1。 父子俩走在山谷中。
2。 突然，儿子摔倒，跌伤，尖叫了一声：“啊——！”
3。 令他吃惊的是，他听到了山谷某个地方也发出了同样的声音。“啊——！”
4。 他感到好奇，大声问道：“你是谁？”
5。 他听到了同样的回答：“你是谁？”
6。 随后，他又向山谷尖声喊道：“我羡慕你！”
7。 那个声音回答道：“我羡慕你！”
8。 他对这样的回答非常恼火，尖叫道：“胆小鬼！”
9。 他听到了同样的回答：“胆小鬼！”
10。 他望着父亲，问道：“发生了什么事？”
11。 他的父亲微微一笑，说：“儿子，看我的！”
12。 接着，他的父亲尖叫道：“你是冠军！”
13。 那个声音回答说：“你是冠军！”
14。 男孩感到吃惊，但不解其意。
15。 随后，他的父亲解释说：“人们把这叫做回声，其实这就是生活。你要想在世界上得到更多的爱，就要在心里生出更多的爱。你对生活付出多少，生活就会回报你多少。”
A Stranger on Escalator楼梯上的陌生人
1。 A brief act of kindness brings an unexpected insight。
2。 I was shopping at a department store and had just boarded the down escalator when I noticed a woman standing to the side。 She looked about 65， and her expression told me she was scared。 I turned toward her and asked， “Do you need help？” As the escalator continued moving I heard the woman rep*oftly， “I’m afraid。” There was a hint of incredulity in her voice。 “Want me to come back and get you？” I called to her。 She nodded。 But by the time I reached her， the woman had reconsidered。 “I don’t think I can do it，” she said。 I was suddenly aware that I had made a far greater investment than I expected。 “I know we can do it，” I said。 “I can hold on to you。” She looked down at the beast。 Then her eyes came back to mine， looking doubtful。 “This has never happened to me before，” she said， as much to herself as to me。 I felt that her sudden fear had to do with the escalator’s mechanical nature， its basic inhuman untrustworthiness。 I took her arm。 “Shall we？” She made a little sound of alarm as we stepped on， but we’d passed the point of no return。 She relaxed slightly as the stairs moved us downward。 “I don’t understand this at all，” she said。 As we neared the bottom， her grip tightened again， but we did fine。 “I’m so grateful……” she began。 “ It was nothing，” I said。 “I was happy to do it。” Happy， yes。 I do very little to help others。 I am busy caring for a family and working full time。 For a brief moment， I had a flash of insight into why someone would become a nurse or a social worker or a minister。 When I helped the woman， I felt pure and whole， purposeful。 It was a happier moment than I’d had in weeks。
1。 一次简单的善意帮助却带来了出乎意料的领悟。
2。 我到一家百货商店买东西，就在我踏上自动扶梯刚要下楼时，突然注意到扶梯边站着一位妇女。她看上去差不多有65岁，从她脸上的表情可以看出她很害怕。于是我转向她问道：“需要帮忙吗？”自动扶梯载着我向下移动着，我只听到她用低低的声音回答：“我很怕。”声音中流露出一丝迟疑。“要我回来帮你吗？”我冲着她叫道，她点了点头。我又回到了楼上，可老人却改变了主意。“我不行。”她说。直到这时，我才突然意识到这件事并不像我原想的那样简单。“我们能行，”我说，“我会搀扶着你。”她低下头，看着那个庞然大物，随后她转回来，看着我，目光中满是疑虑；“我以前从未遇到过这种情况。”她说道，既像是在对我，又像是在自言自语。我觉得老人这种突如其来的恐惧与自动扶梯的机械性质有关——它归根结底是非人性的东西，很难给人以安全感。我拉起她的胳臂，问道：“可以吗？”我们迈上扶梯时，她轻轻地尖叫了一声。然而，既然我们已踏上了扶梯，也就不能再回头了。直到扶梯载着我们下行了一段，她才略微放松下来。“我一点也不明白这种东西，”她说。我们接近扶梯底部时，她又一次紧紧抓住我，但我们顺利走下了扶梯。“我不知怎么谢你才好……”她开口说道。“这没什么，”我说，“我很高兴这样做。”我很高兴，的确如此。平时我很少帮助别人，整日忙于工作和照顾家庭。就在这一刹那，我突然明白了为什么有人会去做护士、社会工作者或者牧师。在我帮助这位妇女的时候，我感到我的生活是纯粹、完整和有意义的。这是我几周来最高兴的时刻。
Twelve Sincere Smiles 12次真诚的微笑
1。 A passenger told an air hostess that he needed a cup of water to take his medicine when the plane just took off。 She told him that she would bring him the water in ten minutes。
2。 Thirty minutes later， when the passenger’s ring for service sounded， the air hostess flew in a flurry。 She was kept so busy that she forgot to deliver him the water。 As a result， the passenger was held up to take his medicine。 She hurried over to him with a cup of water， but he refused it。
3。 In the following hours on the flight， each time the stewardess passed be the passenger she would ask him with a *ile whether he needed help or not。 But the passenger never paid heed to her。
4。 When he was going to get off the plane， the passenger asked the stewardess to hand him the passengers’ booklet。 She was very sad。 She knew that he would write down sharp words， but with a *ile she handed it to him。
5。 Off the plane， she opened the booklet， and cracked a *ile， for the passenger put it， “On the flight， you asked me whether I need help or not for twelve times in all。 How can I refuse your twelve sincere *iles？”
6。 That’s right！ Who can refuse your twelve sincere *iles from a person？
1。 飞机刚刚起飞，一位乘客向空姐要一杯水吃药。空姐告诉他等飞机起飞后10分钟就为他送来。
2。 30分钟后，客人要求服务的铃声响了，空姐慌了神，原来在忙碌中她忘了为客人送水，耽误了客人吃药。她马上给客人送去一杯水，但客人拒绝了。
3。 在此后几小时的飞行中，空姐每次经过客人都要微笑着问客人需要什么服务，但客人从不理睬她。
4。 要下飞机了，客人叫空姐拿来留言簿，空姐很伤心，她知道客人要写下批评的话，但她仍微笑着把留言簿递给了客人。
5。 下了飞机，空姐打开留言簿，她笑了，因为客人写道：“在飞行中，你微笑着问我需不需要服务，一共有12次，我怎么能拒绝你12次真诚的微笑呢？”
6。 是啊，谁能拒绝别人12次真诚的微笑呢？
Love Is Everything有爱就有了一切
1。 The winter cold hung in the air like a frozen dinosaur trying to thaw from his glacier and walk across the earth。 Breath iced like a tiny morning mist upon a meandering river。 The sounds of the city rising and spilling into silence as the night began to claim its citizens for sleep。
2。 Blowing on gloved hands that seemed to have little effect on cold hands that ached with chill。 Long hours hanging pressed clothes， pulling tickets and ringing up the customers。 The last of the packaged hot chocolate gone and only the longing need for home and a pot pie to warm her。
3。 It was payday and she cashed her check。 Two Santas and one Salvation Army captain and she were minus ten dollars but what did it matter？ She had a place to sleep， something decent to eat， and she had Drew。
4。 Drew with his kindness， his caring and his humor to lighten her day。 Thanksgiving was nigh and they were collecting early for the hungry and the children that would have no Christmas without them。 She was so much more lucky than most of them but perhaps not as lucky as those that scurried in the Wednesday night sleet， shopping early before the pickings became slim。 Life was not always easy but sometimes it could always be safe。
5。 She had Drew， and Smat， the ugly little terrier that nobody wanted。 She had comfort and warmth in the apartment。 She had dinner for tomorrow thawing in the *all turkey and the little Thanksgiving bonus from her boss。
6。 But most of all， she had love。 It was the most important of all。
1。 冬天的寒冷在空气中纠缠不去，就像被冰冻的恐龙想要从冰河里解冻出来走到地上一样。呵气就像蜿蜒的河面上微薄的晨雾，城市的喧嚣升起又归于沉静，夜晚开始宣布它的臣民应该入睡了。
2。 往带着手套的手上呵气好像也没有什么效果，冻僵的手冷得发痛。工作的那几个小时很漫长，熨平的衣服要挂起来，标签要拆下来，还要给顾客打电话。最后一个盒装的热巧克力喝完了，只渴望着回家，吃一块热馅饼来暖和一下。
3。 今天是发薪日，她把支票兑换成了现金。路遇两个圣诞老人和一个救世军领队，她的钱减少了十元，但这又怎样呢？她有地方睡觉，有像样的东西吃，而且她还有德鲁。
4。 德鲁的亲切、爱心和幽默总能照亮她的每一天。感恩节近了，他们早早地开始为那些饥饿的人筹款，孩子们过圣诞节也少不了他们。她要比这些人幸运得多，当然可能比不上那些在周三雪夜赶着去购物的人，他们要早早把东西买好以免货物变少而无法挑选。生活并不总是很容易，但总是很安全。
5。 她有德鲁，还有那条丑得没人要的小猎狗斯迈特；她有公寓里的舒适和温暖；她有明天的晚餐（小火鸡正在解冻着呢）；她还有老板给的一小笔感恩节奖金。
6。 而且她还有爱，这是所有事情中最重要的。
