This is story from Three Kingdoms. Tricked by Zhou Yu， Liu Bei married Sun Shangxiang， Sun Quan's younger sister. After the wedding ceremony， Liu Bei stayed in the state of Wu. In light of Zhuge Liang's plan， Zhao Yun made a false report to Liu Bei before his departure， saying that Cao Cao was attacking Jingzhou. He urged Liu Bei to go back. Believing it was true， Liu Bei discussed the matter with his wife and decided that they would pretend to offer sacrifice to the ancestors at the river and would leave the Southland under the escort of Zhao Yun without announcing it. The day came and Liu Bei and his wife headed to the river. Suddenly， generals and soldiers sent by Zhou Yuarrived. Liu Bei was frightened. He rushed to the front of Lady Sun's carriage and appealed tearfully to her： 「When your elder brother and Zhou Yu conspired to call me to the Southland to marry you， they did not do so for your sake. All they wanted was to confine me so that they could retake Jingzhou， and after that to kill me. But I came， because I admire you. Today， no one but you can save me. If you are not willing， I prefer to die here before your eyes.」
Upon hearing this， Lady Sun rolled up the front curtain of her carriage， and shouted to the generals from the state of Wu： 「Are you in revolt? Zhou Yu! The renegade， the traitor!」 she cried. 「What injury has the Sun family ever done you? Liu Bei is my hu *** and. Both my mother and my brother were informed that I would return to Jingzhou. Does this blockage maean you're going to plunder our goods?」 She denounced Zhou Yu loudly and then ordered her carrige moved forward. The carriage had hardly advanced five or six li when the second pair of manders sent by Sun Quan arrived. Lady Sun let Liu Bei proceed. She herself and Zhao Yun held the rear. Lady Sun regarded the two manders sternly and spoke reproachfully： 「You have e between my brother and me. My mother has sanctioned our trip back to Jingzhou. Even my brother has to conform to what ritual enjoins. Do these weapons mean you want to murder me?」 The manders stared at one another helplessly. Though Liu Bei was nowhere to be seen， Zhao Yun waw right there， ready for bloody bat， eyes angry and wide-staring. At last， the generals had to withdraw. Later when another two generals arrived with Sun Quan's sword， Liu Bei and Lady Sun were already on one of the boats led by Zhuge Liang， heading for Jingzhou. Later the people said： Trapped a second time in his own tricks， Zhou Yu tasted humiliation added to rage.

House chores are boring routine stuff that everybody hates.However,doing laundry is different.My laundry career began when my wife started assigning me little ties in the name of gender equality.In no time,I've become an expert in laundering.
With these new washing machines,turning stinking clothes back smelling good takes almost no work at all.Unlike other tasks that put me baking in the sun,sweating,burning,and getting myself all oily,washing clothes gives me the comfort of the laundry room and involves only pushing buttons.I take credits for 2 hours even though I only spend 15 minutes on my part.
Actually,doing laundry is not as simple as I thought.After I started reading the labels on those shirts.I found that some like to be washed cold while others like it warm.Dark clors don't mix well,expecially in hot water.Not everything should be dried in the dryer,and women's clothes tend to be less rable.Luckily,I was put off ty from ironing since I made a hole through my suit the other day.
But after doing if for so long,laundry is now a no-brainer for me.But it doesn't get boring.When I handwash my wife's more delicate underwear with some imagination,it gets pretty interesting.

Night after night, she came to tuck me in, even long after my childhood years. Following her longstanding custom, she'd lean down and push my long hair out of the way, then kiss my forehead.
I don't remember when it first started annoying me — her hands pushing my hair that way. But it did annoy me, for they felt work-worn and rough against my young skin. Finally, one night, I shouted out at her, "Don't do that anymore —your hands are too rough!" She didn't say anything in reply. But never again did my mother close out my day with that familiar expression of her love.
Time after time, with the passing years, my thoughts returned to that night. By then I missed my mother's hands, missed her goodnight kiss on my forehead. Sometimes the incident seemed very close, sometimes far away. But always it lurked, in the back of my mind.
Well, the years have passed, and I'm not a little girl anymore. Mom is in her mid-seventies, and those hands I once thought to be so rough are still doing things for me and my family. She's been our doctor, reaching into a medicine cabinet for the remedy to calm a young girl's stomach or soothe the boy's scraped knee. She cooks the best fried chicken in the world... gets stains out of blue jeans like I never could...
Now, my own children are grown and gone. Mom no longer has Dad, and on special occasions, I find myself drawn next door to spend the night with her. So it was late on Thanksgiving Eve, as I slept in the bedroom of my youth, a familiar hand hesitantly run across my face to brush the hair from my forehead. Then a kiss, ever so gently, touched my brow.
In my memory, for the thousandth time, I recalled the night my young voice complained, "Don't do that anymore — your hands are too rough!" Catching Mom's hand in hand, I blurted out how sorry I was for that night. I thought she'd remember, as I did. But Mom didn't know what I was talking about. She had forgotten — and forgiven — long ago.
That night, I fell asleep with a new appreciation for my gentle mother and her caring hands. And the guilt that I had carried around for so long was nowhere to be found.
【中文譯文】：
母親總是在我入睡之後，為我掖好被子，然後俯下身子，輕輕撥開覆在我臉上的長發，親吻我的前額。日復一日，母親一直保持著這個習慣，即使我已不再是小孩子了，這一切卻依然故我。
不知從什麼時候開始，母親的這種習慣漸漸讓我感到不悅----我不喜歡她那雙布滿老繭的手就這樣劃過我細嫩的皮膚。終於，在一個夜晚，我忍不住沖她吼了起來：「你不要再這樣了，你的手好粗糙！」母親無言以對。但從此卻再沒有用這種我熟悉的表達愛的方式來為我的一天畫上句號。
日子一天天過去，隨著時間的流逝，我卻總是不由得想起那一夜。我開始想念母親的那雙手，想念她印在我前額上的「晚安」。這種渴望忽遠忽近，但始終潛藏在我心靈深處的某個角落。
若干年後，我成熟了，已不再是個小女孩了。母親也已到了古稀之年，可她卻始終沒有停止過操勞，用她那雙曾經被我視為「粗糙」的手為我和我的家庭做著力所能及的事情。她是我們的家庭醫生，小姑娘胃痛時，她會從葯箱里找出胃葯來，小男孩擦傷的膝蓋時，她會去安撫他的傷痛。她能做出世界上最好吃的炸雞，能把藍色牛仔褲上的污漬去得毫無痕跡......
現在，我自己的孩子也已長大，有了自己的生活，母親卻沒有了父親的陪伴。有一次，恰好是感恩節前夜，我決定就睡在母親旁邊的卧室里，陪她度過這一夜。這是我兒時的卧室，一切都是那麼的熟悉，還有一隻熟悉的手猶豫著從我的臉上掠過，梳理著我前額的頭發，然後，一個吻，帶著一如往日的溫柔，輕輕落在了我的額頭。
在我的記憶里，曾幾千次再現那晚的情景和我那稚嫩的抱怨聲：「你不要再這樣了，你的手好粗糙！」我一把抓住母親的手，一股腦說出我對那一晚深深的愧疚。我想，她一定和我一樣，對那晚的事歷歷在目。然而，母親卻不知我再說些什麼-----她早忘了，早已原諒我了。
那天晚上，我帶著對母親新的感激安然入睡，我感激她的溫柔，和她那呵護的雙手。多年來壓在我心頭的負罪感也隨之煙消雲散。

Ⅵ 六年級英語閱讀文章
六年級英語閱讀文章
閱讀是學習提高英語的一個好辦法，下面我給大家准備了六年級的英語閱讀文章，歡迎大家閱讀欣賞!
第一篇 ：生命之堅持
Some people insist that only today and tomorrow matter. But how much poorer we would be if we really lived by that rule! So much of what we do today is frivolous and futile and soon forgotten. So much of what we hope to do tomorrow never happens.
The past is the bank in which we store our most valuable possession: the memories that give meaning and depth to our lives. Those who truly treasure the past will not bemoan the passing of the good old days, because days enshrined in memory are never lost.
Death itself is powerless to still a remembered voice or erase a remembered smile. And for one boy who is now a man, there is a pond which neither time nor tide can change, where he can still spend a quiet hour in the sun.
一些人堅持認為只有今日與明日最重要。可要按這條規則來生活的話，我們將會變得更加可憐。今天我們所做之事有多少是瑣碎無功的，很快就被人遺忘.又有多少我們明天要為之事將會成為泡影。 過去是一所銀行。我們將最可貴的財富——記憶珍藏其中，這些記憶賦予我們生命的意義和厚度。
真正珍惜過去之人不會為美好時光逝去而哀嘆。那些珍藏於記憶的時光是永遠不會消失的。
死亡本身也無法止住記憶中的聲音，或擦除記憶中的微笑。對於已經長大成人的小男孩來說，那兒將會有一個池塘。它不會因時間和潮汐而改變，可以讓他大繼續在陽光下享受靜謐的時光。
第二篇：When the Moon Follows Me月兒隨我同行
Each of my sons made the discovery early. We would be riding in the car at night, and a little voice would call out from the back seat, “Hey, the moon is following us!” I would explain that the moon was not actually gliding along with our car. There would be another period of critical observation and the final verdict, delivered more quietly this time: “But it really is moving. I can see it.”
I thought of that one evening as I was driving. The moon, one day short of fullness, rode with me, first gliding smoothly, then bouncing over the bumpy stretches, now on my right, then straight ahead, the silver light washing over dry grasses in open fields, streaking along through black branches, finally disappearing as the road wound its way through the hills.
When I crested the hill in the village, there it was again —— grown suddenly immense, ripe, flooding the town with a sprawling light so magical I began to understand why it is said to inspire “looniness.” I could hardly wait to get back home to show the boys.
Robert was in the bathtub, so I grabbed John. “ Close your eyes and come see what followed me home,” I said, hoping to increase the dramatic impact. I led him out into the night. “Okay. Open! Isn’t it beautiful?”
John blinked a few times and looked at me as if I might, indeed, be loony. “Mom, it’s just the moon. Is this the surprise?” I suppose he was hoping for a puppy.
I should have realized that, being only ten, he was probably too young to know how much we sometimes need the magic and romance of moonlight——a light that is nothing like the harsh glare of the sun that it reflects. Moonlight softens our faults; all shabbiness dissolves into shadow. It erases the myriad details that crowd and rush us in the sunlight, leaving only sharp outlines and highlights and broad brushstrokes——the fundamental shape of things.
Often in the soothing, restorative glow we stare transfixed, bouncing our ambitions and hopes and plans off this great reflector. We dream our dreams; we examine the structure of our lives; we make considered decisions. In a hectic, confusing world, it helps to step out into a quiet, clear swath of moonlight, to seek out the fundamentals and eschew the incidentals.
The night after I showed John the moon, he burst breathlessly through the door, calling, “Mom, come out for a minute!” This time, he led me, coatless and shivering. The driveway gravel crunched underneath our sneakers. From somewhere in the woods beyond the pond, the plaintive calls of geese honked and died away.
Past the row of pine trees that line the road, the sky opened up with the full moon on it, suspended so precariously close that it might come hurtling toward us—— incandescent, even larger and more breathtaking than the night before, climbing its motionless climb over the molten silver of our pond. Even a ten-year-old could see this wasn’t just the moon. This was The Moon.
When I turned around, John was grinning, expectant, studying my face intently to see if he had pleased me. He had. I knew that now the moon was following him too.
我的兩個兒子各自都在很小的時候就有了那驚人的發現。每當我們驅車夜行的時候,後座上總會傳來稚嫩驚奇的聲音: “嘿,瞧!月亮實際上並沒有跟在我們的汽車後面滑行。發出驚嘆的孩子往往審視良久,終於得出定論,再一次用較冷靜的口吻說: “它確實在動的嘛,我看得見的。”
一天晚上，在驅車回家的途中，我想起了這件事兒。再過一天就要盈滿的月亮隨我一路同行;它先是平穩地滑行，繼而又在崎嶇的山路上躍動，忽而在我右邊，忽而又跑到我的前頭。銀色的月光潑灑在曠野的枯草上，沿著一路黑黝黝的枝叢投下斑駁的光點，最後，當車道在山間繞了個彎，它便消失得無影無蹤。
當我的車開上村子裡的小山頂時，月亮又出現了——突然變得碩大、飽滿;神奇的銀輝充盈四野，整個城鎮都被淹沒在溶溶的月色中。我這才開始明白，為什麼人們會說月兒能激發起“瘋狂”。我急不可待地趕回家，想讓孩子們出來看看。
羅伯特正在洗澡;於是我一把拉起約翰，說：“閉上眼睛，來看看什麼東西隨我回家了。”希望這樣能增強戲劇性的效果。我牽著他走到戶外的夜色中。 “行了，睜開眼睛!瞧，多美啊!”
約翰眨巴眨巴雙眼，盯著我看，彷彿我真的發瘋了一樣。“媽，不就是月亮嘛。這有什麼稀奇的?”我猜他希望我帶了只小狗回來。
我本應該意識到這一點：他才十歲，也許還太小，弄不清我們有時是何等需要月光的魅力和浪漫，這種光和它所反射的太陽那耀眼的光芒是多麼大相徑庭。月光淡化了我們的各種缺點，所有的卑微都化解為依稀朦朧的陰影。它抹去了在陽光下充塞於我們周圍、壓迫著我們的無數細微的事物，只留下輪廓鮮明的剪影、最精彩的場面和粗線條的繪畫——萬物的基本形狀。
常常，在那令人屏神靜氣的光華中，我們注目凝視;這時，我們的雄心壯志、美好希望和宏偉藍圖便會從那了不起的反射物上躍然而出。我們做著五光十色的夢，考察我們的.生活結構，作出深思熟慮的決定。在一個喧囂、混亂的世界上，走進一片寧靜、清新的月光，去尋循事物的根本，避開不期而至的變故，那可真是大有裨益。
就在我讓約翰看月亮的第二天晚上，他氣喘喘地一頭闖進屋來，喊道：“媽，快出來一會兒。”這一次是他牽著我。當時我沒穿外衣，不由得一陣哆嗦。車道上的礫石被我們的旅遊鞋踩得嘎嘎作響。從水塘彼岸的樹林里不知什麼地方傳來幾聲鵝的哀鳴，轉而又悠然消失。
走過路邊那排松樹，天空豁然開朗，一輪滿月晃晃悠悠地懸浮在上面，離我們那麼近，彷彿就要掉下來撞到我們身上。它光華照人，比前一天晚上還大，更令人心馳神往，在熔銀般的水塘上空悄悄地爬升。就連十歲的孩童也能看出，這不僅僅是個月亮。這是個大寫的月亮。
我轉過身，只見約翰正咧著嘴笑，滿臉期盼的神情;他熱切的目光想從我的臉上探明他是否博得了我的歡心。他確實博得了我的歡心。我意識到現在月兒也正在隨他同行。
;Ⅶ 六年級英語閱讀理解短文
六年級英語閱讀理解在考試中佔有非常大的分值，所以，學好六年級英語閱讀理解，將會大大提高同學們的英語考試成績，今天小編就為各位準備了幾篇，關於六年級英語閱讀理解的中英對照版短文。
六年級英語閱讀理解中英對照版短文第一部分
讀書之樂
Reading is a pleasure of the mind, which means that it is a little like a sport: your eagerness and knowledge and quickness make you a good reader. Reading is fun, not because the writer is telling you something, but because it makes your mind work. Your own imagination works along with the author's or even goes beyond his. Your experience, compared with his, brings you to the same or different conclusions, and your ideas develop as you understand his.
Every book stands by itself, like a one-family house, but books in a library are like houses in a city. Although they are separate, together they all add up to something; they are connected with each other and with other cities. The same ideas, or related ones, turn up in different places; the human problems that repeat themselves in life repeat themselves in literature, but with different solutions according to different writings at different times.
Reading can only be fun if you expect it to be. If you concentrate on books somebody tells you "ought" to read, you probably won't have fun. But if you put down a book you don't like and try another till you find one that means something to you, and then relax with it, you will almost certainly have a good time--and if you become as a result of reading, better, wiser, kinder, or more gentle, you won'悶讓t have suffered ring the process.
讀書是愉悅心智之事。在這一點上它與運動頗為相似:一個優秀的讀者必須要有熱情、有知識、有速度。讀書之樂並非在於作者要告訴你什麼，而在於它促使你思考。你跟隨作者一起想像，有時你的想像甚至會超越作譽罩慶者的。把自己的體驗與作者的相互比較，你會得出相同或者不同的結論。在理解作者想法的同時，也形成了自己的觀點。
每一本書都自成體系，就像一家一戶的住宅，而圖書館里的藏書好比城市裡千家萬戶的居所。盡管它們都相互獨立，但只有相互結合才有意義。家家戶戶彼此相連，城市與城市彼此相依。相同或相似的思想在不同地方涌現。人類生慶握活中反復的問題也在文學中不斷重現，但因時代與作品的差異，答案也各不相同。
如果你希望的話，讀書也能充滿樂趣。倘若你只讀那些別人告訴你該讀之書，那麼你不太可能有樂趣可言。但如果你放下你不喜歡的書，試著閱讀另外一本，直到你找到自己中意的，然後輕輕鬆鬆的讀下去，差不多一定會樂在其中。而且，當你通過閱讀變得更加優秀，更加善良，更加文雅時，閱讀便不再是一種折磨。

給予
Like most people, I was brought up to look upon life as a process of getting. It was not until in my late thirties that I made this important discovery: giving-away makes life so much more exciting. You need not worry if you lack money. This is how I experimented with giving-away. If an idea for improving the window display of a neighborhood store flashes to me, I step in and make the suggestion to the storekeeper. One discovery I made about giving-away is that it is almost impossible to give away anything in this world without getting something back, though the return often comes in an unexpected form. One Sunday morning the local post office delivered an important special delivery letter to my home, though it was addressed to me at my office. I wrote the postmaster a note of appreciation. More than a year later I needed a post-office box for a new business I was starting. I was told at the window that there were no boxes left, and that my name would have to go on a long waiting list. As I was about to leave, the postmaster appeared in the doorway. He had overheard our conversation. “Wasn’t it you that wrote us that letter a year ago about delivering a special delivery to your home?” I said yes. “Well, you certainly are going to have a box in this post office if we have to make one for you. You don’t know what a letter like that means to us. We usually get nothing but complaints.”
像大多數人，我長大看待生命是一個過程獲得。直到我在30月底，我作出這一重要發現：給予，距離使我們的生活如此更令人興奮的。您不必擔心如果缺乏資金。這是我嘗試讓-消失。如果一個主意，可以改善窗口顯示一個閃爍附近商店給我，我的步驟，並提出上述建議的倉庫保管員。一發現我付出，離開是，它幾乎是不可能放棄任何在這個世界上，沒有得到回報，盡管返回往往在一個意想不到的形式。一個星期天上午，當地郵局作了重要特別的遞送信件到我家裡，但給我在我的辦公室。我寫了一份說明郵政的贊賞。一年多後，我需要一個後Office中的一個新的業務，我開始。我被告知的窗口，沒有框的左邊，我的名字將不得不在很長的等候名單。當我正准備離開，郵政出現在門口。他聽到我們的交談。 “是不是你，我們該信中寫道：一年前為客戶提供一份特別的遞送到您的家? ”我說是的。 “嘿，你肯定將會有一個盒子在這個郵政局如果我們要取得一個適合您。你不知道什麼樣的信，這意味著給我們。我們通常會只是投訴。題目的答案：ACBCD，題目不祥。

電視節目
Television gives the American people a wide variety of programs from early morning until late at night. Operas, orchestral performances, chamber music and jazz concerts are often presented on television. So most of the leisure at home is used for watching television. Many Americans are so fond of their TV programs that they often have cold luncheon in front of their receiving sets. Television has given people newer and deeper understanding of history, art, music, literature, the ballet, the theater, the discoveries of modern science and the wonders of the universe. Television viewers pay no tax or charges for receiving programs on their sets. The cost of the programs is paid chiefly by those who are given the opportunity to advertise their goods or services ring the commercial breaks.
美國人從清晨直到深夜都能看到形形色色的電視節目。電視屏幕上經常播放歌劇、管弦樂、室內音樂和爵士音樂演奏。所以家庭中大部分空閑時間都花在看電視上。許多美國人酷愛電視節目，經常在電視機前邊看電視邊吃冷餐。電視使人們對歷史、藝術、音樂、文學、舞劇、戲劇、現代科學的新發現和宇宙的奧妙有較新和較深切的了解。電視觀眾看電視節目既不用繳稅，也不必付款，節目費用主要是由那些藉此為其商品和服務做插播廣告的人支付的。

Ⅹ 六年級英語閱讀理解五篇
Before 1883, most cities in the United States had their own time. They set their time by the sun. This made many problems for the railroad companies. Their trains went to more than 300 different cities. Every city had a different time. In 1883 Willia Allan made a plan to divide the United States into four different parts called time zones. This made things easier for the railroad companies. Now every city in the same time zone has the same time. The map shows the time zones. They are Pacific (太平洋的) Standard Time (PST), Mountains Standard Time (MST), Central Standard Time (CST) and Eastern Standard Time (EST). The clocks below the map tell the time in each zone. L=Los Angeles N=New York W=Washington
