If no animal nature, all things, there is no life, if there is no grass plants, herbivorous animals can't live forever. Start from today, to protect the animals, love life, do a little guardians of nature.
全世界有794多種野生動物，其中有76科300餘種瀕臨滅絕，還有很多已經滅絕了。人們為了錢財，不斷殺害它們，導致野生動物大量滅絕。直到“非典”事件發生，人們才覺悟起來……
野生動物對我們幫助很大，例如燕子，燕子能幫我們吧田裡的害蟲吃掉。如果沒有了它們，我們的周圍就會有很多害蟲，這些害蟲對我們人類有很大的害處呀!
有些人認為，野生動物理應被殺掉，因為有些野生動物很危險。但我想對那些人說：沒錯，有些野生動物的確很危險，但它們一般多在遠離人類的地方，所以我們不用害怕。而且有些野生動物也很可愛，例如大熊貓就很可愛，還有軟軟的絨毛。
“沒有買賣，就沒有殺害”這則公益廣告說得真好，是的，只要人們不再去銷售野生動物，就不會有人去買，更不會有被殘害的野生動物了。
同學們，雖然我們現在的力量還很薄弱，但千萬不要小看這力量。從現在開始，去保護野生動物吧，讓世界充滿和平!
課外英語短文帶翻譯篇二
The world has more than 794 kinds of wild animals, there are 76 families, 300 species endangered, there are many extinct. People for the sake of money, keep killing them, leading to a mass extinction of wild animals. Until the SARS incident, people wake...
Wild animals are of great help to us, for example, the swallow, swallow can help us to eat the pests in the field. Around if without them, we will have a lot of insects, these pests have great harm to us!
Some people think that wild animals should be killed, because some wild animals are dangerous. But I want to say to those people: yes, some wild animals is dangerous, but they are generally more away from the humans, so we don't have to fear. And some wild animals is very lovely, such as the giant panda is very cute, and soft hairs.
"No trading, no killing" the advertisement said well, yes, as long as people no longer to sell wild animals, no one will go to buy, there will be no more wild animals mutilated.
The classmates, although our strength is still very weak now, but don't look down on this power. From now on, to protect wild animals, let the world is full of peace!
在地球上，除了人類，還有什麼呢?沒錯，還有動物。可幾年下來，動物的數量逐漸下降。人類有沒有把動物當朋友看呢?
動物和人類應該是好朋友，可為什麼動物會和人類為敵呢?是因為人類沒有把動物發在眼裡。比如奶牛。人類用奶牛生產奶牛，可等奶牛沒有奶的時候，人類就會把奶牛殘忍地殺死。奶牛沒奶時，不會將它放生嗎?奶牛也是一條活生生的生命啊!近幾年的“鼠疫、艾滋病、瘋牛病、禽流感”，這些都是動物們奮起反擊的預兆呀!難道人類還要打第三次世界大戰嗎?我們的祖先就是高級動物呀!如果人類再不制止這種濫殺動物的行為，是對我們的地區母親沉重的打擊呀!
我們現在不要再破壞動物的家園，這樣動物們就可以安心繁殖後代。朋友們，還動物們一片蔚藍的天空，讓小鳥自由地飛翔;給動物一片綠草地，讓牛羊歡快地奔跑;還動物一片汪洋，讓動物無憂無慮地暢游海洋之中。也許，這樣可以安撫動物們受傷的心靈。動物原本不壞，只是人類破壞它們的家園，這些只是它們對人類的“報復”而已。
朋友們，讓我們一起保護動物吧!
課外英語短文帶翻譯篇三
Happiness is need to feel.
People felt the suantiankula in daily life, however, people often feel happy.
Students complain of too much homework, farmers complain of farm work too tired, worker complains the salary is too little, the unemployed complain without a job... So, people's face is full of complicated. Seldom found that happiness is beside him.
Whenever the confused friend of a greeting, when farmers harvest to the golden rice, hard whenever a hard day's parents see a hot cup of milk on the table, when the lonely old man received a letter from children far away... This is our happiness. Happiness always imperceptibly quietly come to your side.
In fact, happiness is a give and a kind of pay, a kind of dedication.
Happiness for us to listen, to see, to think about it. People, always remind of childhood when white-haired mother the warm eyes and tears.
Happiness is a kind of halcyon, a kind of indifferent, and often is hazy and feel with your heart, it is not gorgeous neon lights, disco is not strong, but the sky the gentle sunshine, cordial and warm caress with us.
In the usual study and life, I hope that we can learn to slowly feel happiness.
幸福是需要感受的。
人們在日常生活中感受到了酸甜苦辣，但是，人們卻經常感受不到幸福。
學生抱怨作業太多，農民抱怨農活太累，工人抱怨工資太少，失業者抱怨沒有工作……所以，人們的臉上布滿愁雲。卻很少發現幸福就在身旁。
每當到困惑時朋友的一聲問候，每當辛勤的農民收割到金燦燦的稻穀，每當辛苦了一天的父母看到桌子上一杯熱騰騰的牛奶，每當孤獨的老人收到遠方兒女的來信……這就是我們的幸福。幸福總是不知不覺中悄悄來到你的身邊。
其實，幸福是一種給予，一種付出，一種奉獻。
幸福需要我們去聽，去看，去想。人，總是在白發蒼蒼時才想起兒時母親那溫暖的目光而熱淚盈眶。
幸福更是一種寧靜，一種淡泊，又常常是朦朧而令人用心感悟的，它並不是華麗的霓虹燈，不是強勁的迪斯科，而是天際柔和的陽光，親切而溫暖地撫愛著我們。
在平時的學習、生活中，但願我們能學會慢慢感受幸福。

People in the world is looking for happiness, but they don't know what is happiness. Some home very rich man said: "happiness is money." Also some people who have the power said: "happiness is power." But happiness is not money and power, remember a celebrity once said a words: "money and greed is not the happiness in the world."
It was over a weekend, I play on the bridge. Suddenly, I saw an old man is hard uphill in the cart. I saw this, ran in the past, to help grandpa pushed the car up the slope. Grandpa laughed happily said to me: "thank you!" I said: "don't mention it, lift a finger, everybody is responsible for", "at this point, my heart is full of sunshine, maybe this is happiness.
Also, in the earthquake. Although I only donate ten yuan, if everyone in the country to donate for 10 yuan, that will be seen the smiling faces of the innocent and lovely one children and those who have no home to rebuild their homes. This is a Chinese people's spirit of solidarity, to our compatriots in the future must be a beautiful and harmonious home! At this moment, I feel happy again.
Although this is just a small two things, but it makes me feel the happiness. And celebrity once said: "don't pay any costs and get happiness, that is a myth." As long as you give time to love, to help others, happiness will always be at your side!
世界上的人都在尋求幸福，但是，他們卻不知道幸福是什麼。有些家裡很有錢的人說：“幸福是金錢。”還有些有權力的人說：“幸福是權力。”但幸福不是金錢和權力，記得有位名人說過一句話：“金錢和享受的貪求不是幸福。”
那是在一個周末，我在小橋上玩。突消指然，我看到一位老爺爺正推著車子艱難地上坡。我看見了，趕快跑過沒羨去，幫老爺爺把車子推上了坡。老爺爺笑咪咪地對我說：“謝謝你啊!”我說：“不用謝，‘舉手之勞，人人有責’嘛，”此時，我心裡充滿了陽光，可能這就是幸福吧。
還有，在大地震中。雖然我只捐了十元錢，如果全國每個人都捐了十元錢，那看到的將是孩子們一張張天真可愛的笑臉和那些沒有家的人重建家園。這是中國人民同胞的團結精神，將來的一定是美麗而又和諧的大家園!此時此刻，我又感到了幸福。
雖然這只是小小的兩件事情，但它卻使我感到了幸福。還有位名人說過：“想不付出任何代價而得到幸福，那是神話。”只要你時刻都去奉獻愛心、幫助別人，幸福會永遠在你的身邊!

"I really will be drowned?" Looking at the sea in the mountain of reflection, slender wings and soft light and thin, hollow eyes wood but hesitate, seawater twist waste water waves the pale face with a smile a little crumpled, fuzzy hurriedly drove young foot back in the cold.
Actually I am jingwei, jingwei after one thousand two hundred, just as I was ruthless time to grade the misery, destined to try my best to fill and level up the sea with a bang, but will that do? I'm just a bird, a YuChi did not work, without the exercise of the birds!
Knew oneself will perish sooner or later, after all, he is the daughter of emperor yan! No one want me to disappear, no one want to feather fall amount, no human soul devouring dissipate, white feathers in the disorderly winds do exceptionally mottled, meets the bitter sea smell faint spit in the villi, the taste of blood.
I am afraid of the sea, deep blue ghost is my eternal nightmare, shivering body, eyes lost their protection of the purple dream, jump, roll, sea black ice tongue scraping and messy wings, give it up, repeating 1010 a movement, however just startled look back, there is no way back.
Has been in the escape, all about grade terrible, like competition and the sea, with one of the competition, the boring scores, even DuoRu still leaning regardless of grade 3, although growth in the seaside, but must shrink into the volute in the same calendar, hope no end of the past.
"There will be choice?" Heart completely cold, now, "survival or death, don't like it, and must do, suddenly jump, like a moth to the magnificent, calm and steady into the distance...
“我真的會被淹死嗎?”定定的看著海山中的倒影，纖細的羽翼柔亮而稀疏，空洞的雙目木然而遲疑，海水擰笑著揮霍水浪把蒼白的臉一點點揉碎，模糊在冰冷中逼得幼嫩的腳慌忙後退。
其實我就是精衛，一千二百年後的精衛，就像我被無情的時光趕到初三這片苦海上，註定要盡全力轟轟烈烈填平死海，可是能行嗎?我只是一隻鳥，一隻羽翅未乾，未經磨煉的鳥兒啊!
早就知道自己遲早會滅亡的，畢竟自己是炎帝之女啊!沒有人希望我灰飛煙滅，沒有人想要殘羽凋零飄飛，沒有人慾看靈魂吞噬消散，潔白的羽毛在亂風摧殘中格外斑駁，蒼苦的海腥味在絨毛中幽幽吐出，如血的味道。
我是懼怕海的，深藍的幽靈是我永遠的夢魘，身體瑟瑟發抖，眼睛失去了保護的夢幻紫色，海輕蔑的跳躍、翻滾，幽黑的冰舌撕扯著凌亂的翅膀，放棄吧，重復著一千一零一次的動作，然而回頭才愕然，後面已經沒有路了。
一直在逃避，關於初三的一切可怕，像與海的競爭，你追我趕的爭奪，枯燥乏味的分數，哪怕踱入初三依舊埋頭不顧，雖在海邊成長，可卻偏偏縮入蝸殼守著不變的日歷，盼望沒有盡頭的過去。
“還有選擇嗎?”心徹底冰涼，如今，“生存或死亡”，不喜歡，也必須做，倏地一躍而起，宛如飛蛾撲火的壯麗，平靜而堅定的投向遠方……

今天，我讀了《精衛填海》的神話故事。
原來，炎帝的小女兒叫精衛，她從小力氣就很大，常常跟著她的父親—炎帝出城打獵，手腳也很靈活。
有一天，她看見了龍王的兒子—三太子，三太子說：“我是龍王的兒子，你是什麼人?”精衛說：“我還是炎帝的女兒呢，你有什麼了不起。”說完，她用腳使勁一踢地，把一團泥巴踢到了三太子的嘴裡，三太子氣的火冒三丈，但他拿精衛沒有辦法，只好垂頭喪氣的回東海。
過了一段時間，精衛下水去玩。三太子見了，心裡暗喜，心想：“我報仇的日子終於來了”。於是他就把精衛淹死了。精衛死後，變成了一隻小鳥。從此，她每天都去西山叼回些石子、木塊，丟到東海里。她不想再讓去東海的人們被淹死。
這就是著名的《精衛填海》的神話故事。

第一篇：
Soldiers and other military people wear uniforms with various other symbols to indicate their status.But in the business world everyone wears more or less similar suits，and you cannot tell at a glance who ranks higher or lower than another.So how do people in the business world show their superiority? An attempt to study this was made by two researchers using a series of silent films.They had two actors play the parts of an executive(經理)and a visitor，and switch roles each time.The scene had one man at his desk playing the part of an executive，while the other，playing the part of a visitor，knocks at the door，opens it and approaches the desk to discuss some business matter.
The audience watching the films was asked to rate the executive and the visitor in terms of status.A certain set of rules about status began to emerge from the ratings.The visitor showed the least amount of status when he stopped just inside the door to talk across the room to the seated man.He was considered to have more status when he walked halfway up to the desk，and he had the most status when he walked directly up to the desk and stood right in front Of the seated executive.
Another thing that affected the status of the visitor in the eyes of the observers was the time between knocking and entering.For the seated executive，his status was also affected by the time between hearing the knock and answering.The quicker the visitor entered the room，the more status he had.The longer the executive took to answer，the more status he had.
41.The experiment designed by the two researchers aimed at finding out _D____
A.how business is concted by all executive and a visitor B how to tell the differences between an executive and a visitor

C.Business people wear similar suits.
D The audience watching the film rated the executive and the visitor in terms of status.
士兵和其他軍隊中的人都要穿制服，並且衣服上有各種各樣的標志來表明他們的身份地位。但是在商業的世界中，幾乎每個人都穿的差不多一樣的衣服。乍看之下，很難分出身份地位的高低。那麼，在商界，人們如果表明自己高人一等呢?
2個研究者通過一系列的默劇對此進行嘗試和研究。劇中只有2個演員，分飾經理和拜訪者的角色，每次兩人都要交換角色。劇中演的是經理坐在辦公桌旁邊辦公，來訪者敲門，推開門，往辦公桌走去，和經理討論業務上的事情。
觀看的觀眾被要求說出經理和拜訪者的地位孰高孰低。從觀眾的意見總結出一套地位的歸路。當拜訪者站在剛進門的地方，遠遠的穿過整個房間和經理說話，表明來訪者的地位最低。當拜訪者站在門和桌子的中間時，地位較高;當他徑直走到桌子旁邊站在經理前面時，地位最高。
在觀眾眼中，另一個影響拜訪者地位的事情是他敲門和進房間之間的時間間隔。對於坐在那裡的`經理來說，他的地位受聽到敲門和應答的時間間隔的影響。拜訪者越早的進入房間，他的地位就越高。
經理越遲應答敲門聲，他的地位越高。
第二篇：
Acting is such an over-crowded profession that the only advice that should be given to a young person thinking of going on the stage is“Don‟t!”.But it is useless to try to discourage someone who feels that he must act，although the chances of his becoming famous are slim. The normal way to begin is to go to a drama sch001.Usually only students who show promise and talent are accepted，and the course lasts two years.Then the young actor or actress takes up work with a theatrical company(劇團)，usually as an assistant stage manager This means doing everything that there is to do in the theatre and occasionally acting in very small parts It is very hard work indeed，the hours are long and the salary is tiny.
Of course，some people have remarkable chances which lead to fame and Success without this long and hard training.Connie Pratt，for example，was just an ordinary girl working in a bicycle factory.A film procer happened to catch sight of her one morning waiting at a bus stop，as he drove past in his car.He stopped and got out to speak to the girl.He asked if she would like to go to the film studio to do a test，and she thought he was joking Then she got angry and said she would call the police It took the procer twenty minutes to convince Connie that he was serious The test was successful.And within a few weeks she was playing the leading part opposite one of the most famous actors of the day But chances like this happen once in a blue moon
36 From the very beginning，the author puts it clearly that acting is a profession __A____

37.For someone who feels he must act，it is very likely that _D____
A.he will become a film star at long last B he will become a stage manager

A the most famous actress of the world B.playing the leading female role in a play
C.as famous as the greatest actor of the world D.no less famous than the leading actor of the day
40 The concluding sentence “chances like this happen once in a blue moon” means D
A this is something which happens once in a while B.this is a highly profitable chance
C.this is something highly possible D this is a very rare chance
演藝界是一個人口密度過高的職業。對於想登上舞台的年輕人的唯一建議就是不要進入。但是想勸阻那些明知成功的機會很渺茫卻執意要做演員的人，這種說教是無用的。要做演員通常辦法就是去戲劇學院進修。通常這里只接受有前途和有天賦的學生，課程要花2年的時間。之後，年輕的女藝人或者男藝人以舞台助理的身份，參與到劇團的工作。這意味著要做和舞台相關的所有事務和偶爾的跑龍套。這確實是很辛苦的工作，工作時間長，薪水又少的可憐。
當然，有些人沒有經過長期辛苦訓練，而是是通過不尋常的機會就獲得了聲望和成功。例如說，Connie Pratt原本是自行車廠的一個普通女工。某個早晨她在公車站等車的時候被一個開車路過的電影製作人看中了。製作人停車出來和她交談，問她是否願意來攝影棚試鏡。Connie認為他只是在開玩笑罷了。最後她生氣了，還威脅說要叫警察。最後製作人花了20分鍾的時間讓Connie相信他是認真的。試鏡很成功。幾個星期之後，她就作為女主角和當時很有名的一個男演員在一部戲中演對手戲了。但是，類似這樣的機會少之又少啊。

畫蛇添足
Drawing a snake and Adding Feet
戰國時代有個楚國人祭他的祖先。儀式結束後，他拿出一壺酒賞給手下的幾個人。大家商量說：「我們都來畫蛇，誰先畫好誰就喝這壺酒。」其中有一個人先畫好了。但他看到同伴還沒有畫完，就又給蛇添上了腳。這時，另一個人也畫好了，奪過酒壺吧酒喝了，並且說：「蛇本來是沒有腳的，你怎麼能給它添上腳呢？」並扮
In the Warring States Period, a man in the State of Chu was offering a sacrifice to his ancestors. After the ceremony, the man gave a beaker of wine to his servants. The servants thought that there was not enough wine for all them, and decided to each draw a picture of a snake; the one who finished the picture first would get the wine. One of them drew very rapidly. Seeing that the others were still busy drawing, he added feet to the snake. At this moment another man finished, snatched the beaker and drank the wine, saying, 'A snake doesn't have feet. How can you add feet to a snake? '
「畫蛇添足」這個成語比喻做了多餘而不恰當的事，反而把事情弄糟了。

南轅北轍
Going South by Driving the Chariot North
從前有個人要到南方去，他坐的車子卻向北方行駛。過路人說：「你去南方，車子怎麼向北行駛呢？」他回答說：「我的馬很能跑路，我的車夫駕車的技術也很高明，加上我又帶了充足的路費。」這個人沒有考慮到，方向弄反了，他的條件越好，離他要去的地方就越遠。
Once a man wanted to go to the south, but his carriage was heading north. A passer-by asked him: 'If you are going to the south, why is your chariot heading north? ' The man answered, 'My horse is good at running, my driver is highly skilled at driving a carriage, and I have enough money. ' The man didn't consider that the direction might be wrong; the better his conditions were, the further he was away from his destination.
後來人們就把這個故事概括為「南轅北轍」，比喻一個人的行為和他的目的正好相反。
The idiom derived from this story indicates that one's action was the opposite effect to one's intention.
世外桃源
A Haven of Peace and Happiness
東晉的文學家陶淵明寫了一片著名的文章叫《桃花源記》。敘述一個漁人出外捕魚的時候，偶然來到了桃花源這個地方。從這里通過一個山洞，發現了一個村子，這里的居民是秦朝時避難人的後代。這是一個與世隔絕、沒有剝削和壓迫、人人安居樂業的美好社會。漁人告別村民回家以後，再也找不到這個地方了。
Tao Yuanming, a famous writer of the Eastern Jin Dynasty (317-420), wrote the well-known essay Peach-Blossom Spring. In it he tells a story which goes like this: A fisherman happened to come upon a place called Peach-Blossom Spring. Squeezing through a cave, he found a village, the residents of which were descendants of refugees from the Qin Dynasty. It was a paradise isolated from the outside world, without exploitation or oppression, and everybody living and working in peace and contentment. The fisherman left the villagers and went home. But he could never find the place again.
後來，由這個故事產生了「世外桃源」這個成語，用來比喻與世隔絕的、理想的美好世界。
This idiom is derived from the above story, and is used to mean an isolated, ideal world

His wife stopped him, saying: 「I was just kidding.」 「A child is not to be kidded like that!」 he replied. 「A child does not know much and cannot judge for himself. He learns from his parents and listens to what they day. To lie to him is to teach him to lie to others. If a mother lies to her son, he will not trust her anymore. How is she then to ecate him?」 With that Zengzi went to slaughter the pig and prepare a good meal for their son.
曾子的妻子到集市上去, 他的兒子哭著要跟去. 他的母親說: 「你回家呆著,待會兒我回來殺豬給你吃.」 她剛從集市上回來, 曾子就要捉豬去殺. 妻子勸止他說: 「只不過是跟孩子開玩笑罷了.」 曾子說: 「不能跟孩子開玩笑啊! 小孩子沒有思考和判斷能力, 要向父母親學習, 聽從父母的教導. 現在你欺騙他,這是教孩子騙人啊! 母親欺騙兒子, 兒子就不再相信自己的母親了, 這不是實現教育的方法.」 於是曾子就殺豬煮肉給孩子吃.
『陸』 英語閱讀理解帶翻譯10篇精選大全
英語閱讀理解帶翻譯10篇：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.」

英語閱讀理解帶翻譯10篇：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。
英語閱讀理解帶翻譯10篇：籃球
Interest in basketball in the United States peaks around three big championship events in the spring: the college championships for men and women in late March or early April and the professional playoffs that climax in June.
But that』s only organized basketball. Informally, the game has been learned by generations of American youths on city playgrounds and schoolyards, on lonely baskets put up in backyards of rural homes and on the driveway basketball courts of countless suburban homes. Here, playing on teams, going one-on-one against a single opponent or just shooting the ball hour after hour alone, some of the finest basketball players have developed their skills to incredible levels.
But as brilliant as some players may be, basketball requires coaching to teach athletes skills they are deficient in and to blend a group of indivials into a team. Styles of coaching vary. Some coaches favor an extremely disciplined game with each player having a specific role while others are more inclined to let their players dictate the style of play.
美國人對籃球的興趣在春季三大錦標賽期間達到高潮。這包括三月底或四月初舉行的大學男籃錦標賽和大學女籃錦標賽，以及在六月份進入決賽高潮的職業籃球賽。
上面說的只是有組織的正式比賽。在市內的運動場和學校的操場上，在農舍後院的簡易籃球筐下，或是在無數市郊住宅的自家車道上劃出的籃球場上，一代代的美國青少年的學習打籃球。一批秀的籃球選手，就是在這種隊與隊的對抗，單與單的較量，或是一個人數小時的投籃練習中，練就一身出神入化的球技的。
盡管有些球員很有天賦，籃球運動還是需要有教練指導的，幫助球員學習他們掌握欠佳的技術，並把一個個球員熔合成一個隊，教練的風格各異。有些教練部署嚴謹，隊員各司其職;有的則傾向於讓隊員去決定比賽的打法和風格。
英語閱讀理解帶翻譯10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。
英語閱讀理解帶翻譯10篇：任教印象
The main impression growing out of twelve years on the faculty of a medical school is that the No.1 health problem in the U.S. today, even more than AIDS or cancer, is that Americans don』t know how to think about health and illness. Our reactions are formed on the terror level.
We fear the worst, expect the worst, thus invite the worst. The result is that we are becoming a nation of weaklings and hypochondriacs, a self-medicating society incapable of
distinguishing between casual, everyday symptoms and those that require professional attention.
Early in life, too, we become seized with the bizarre idea that we are constantly assaulted by invisible monsters called germs, and that we have to be on constant alert to protect ourselves against their fury. Equal emphasis, however, is not given to the presiding fact that our bodies are superbly equipped to deal with the little demons and the best way of forestalling an attack is to maintain a sensible life-style.
在醫學院任教十二年來，我獲得的主要印象是，當今美國頭號健康問題——一個比艾滋病或癌症更為嚴重的問題——是美國人不知道如何去認識健康與疾病。我們的反應是驚恐萬狀。我們怕最壞的事，想著最壞的事，而恰恰就召來了最壞的事。結果 ，我們變成了一個孱弱不堪，總疑心自己有病的民族，一個分不清哪些是日常偶發症狀，哪些是需要治療的症狀，而自己擅自用葯的社會。
我們年輕的時候還染上了一種奇怪的觀念：一種肉眼看不見的叫做細菌的小妖怪在不斷向我們進攻，我們必須長備不懈地保護自己不受其傷害。然而，對另一個重要事實，我們卻未能給予同樣的重視，那就是，我們的身體裝備精良，足以對付這些小妖怪，而且防止妖怪進攻的途徑就是保持合理的生活方式。
英語閱讀理解帶翻譯10篇：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'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。

簡單英語閱讀短文篇一：
The expensive shops in a famous arcade near Piccadilly were just opening. At this time of the morning, the arcade was almost empty. Mr Taylor, the owner of a jewellery shop was admiring a new window display. Two of his assistants had been working busily since 8 o'clock and had only just finished. Diamond necklaces and rings had been beautifully arranged on a background of black velvet. After gazing at the display for several minutes, Mr Taylor went back into his shop.
The silence was suddenly broken when a large car, with its headlights on and its horn blaring, roared down the arcade. It came to a stop outside the jeweler's. One man stayed at the wheel while two others with black stockings over their faces jumped out and smashed the window of the shop with iron bars. While this was going on, Mr Taylor was upstairs. He and his staff began throwing furniture out of the window. Chairs and tables went flying into the arcade. One of the thieves was struck by a heavy statue, but he was too busy helping himself to diamonds to notice any pain. The raid was all over in three minutes, for the men scrambled back into the car and it moved off at a fantastic speed. Just as it was leaving, Mr Taylor rushed out and ran after it throwing ashtrays and vases, but it was impossible to stop the thieves. They had got away with thousands of pounds worth of diamonds.
皮卡迪利大街附近的一條著名拱廊街道上，幾家高檔商店剛剛開始營業。在早晨的這個時候，拱廊街上幾乎空無一人。珠寶店主泰勒先生正在欣賞新布置的櫥窗。他手下兩名店員從早上8點就開始忙碌，這時剛剛布置完畢。鑽石項鏈、戒指漂亮地陳列在黑色絲絨上面。泰勒先生站在櫥窗外凝神欣賞了幾分鍾就回到了店裡。
寧靜突然被打破，一輛大轎車亮著前燈，響著喇叭，呼嘯著沖進了拱廊街，在珠寶店門口停了下來。一人留在駕駛座上，另外兩個用黑色長筒絲襪蒙面的人跳下車來。他們用鐵棒把商店櫥窗的玻璃砸碎。這開始發生時，泰勒先生正在樓上。他與店員動手向窗外投擲傢具，椅子，桌子飛落花流水在拱廊街上。一個竊賊被一尊很重的雕像擊中，但由於他忙著搶鑽石首飾，竟連疼痛都顧不上了。這場搶劫只持續了3分鍾，因為竊賊爭先恐後地爬上轎車，以驚人的速度開跑了。就在轎車離開的時候，泰勒先生從店裡沖了出來，跟在車後追趕，一邊還往車上扔煙灰缸、花瓶。但他已無法抓住那些竊賊了。他們已帶著價值數千鎊的首飾逃之夭夭了。
簡單英語閱讀短文篇二：
Editors of newspapers and magazines often go to extremes to provide their readers with unimportant facts and statistics. Last year a journalist had been instructed by a well-known magazine to write an article on the president's palace in a new African republic. When the article arrived, the editor read the first sentence and then refused to publish it. The article began: 'Hundreds of steps lead to the high wall which surrounds the president's palace.' The editor at once
sent the journalist a fax instructing him to find out the exact number of steps and the height of the wall.
The journalist immediately set out to obtain these important facts, but he took a long time to send them. Meanwhile, the editor was getting impatient, for the magazine would soon go to press. He sent the journalist two urgent telegrams, but received no reply. He sent yet another telegram informing the journalist that if he did not reply soon he would be fired. When the journalist again failed to reply, the editor reluctantly published the article as it had originally been written. A week later, the editor at last received a telegram from the journalist. Not only had the poor man been arrested, but he had been sent to prison as well. However, he had at last been allowed to send a cable in which he informed the editor that he had been arrested while counting the 1084 steps leading to the 15-foot wall which surrounded the president's palace.
報刊雜志的編輯常常為了向讀者提供成立一些關緊要的事實和統計數字而走向極端。去年，一位記者受一家有名的雜志的委託寫一篇關於非洲某個新成立共和國總統府的 文章 。稿子寄來後，編輯看第一句話就拒絕予以發表。文章的開頭是這樣的："幾百級台階通向環繞總統的高牆。"編輯立即給那位記者發去傳真，要求他核實一下台階的確切數字和圍牆的高度。
記者立即出發去核實這些重要的事實，但過了好長時間不見他把數字寄來，在此期間，編輯等得不耐煩了，因為雜志馬上要付印。他給記者先後發去兩份傳真，但對方毫無反應。於是他又發了一份傳真，通知那位記者說，若再不迅速答復，將被解僱。但記者還是沒有回復。編輯無奈，勉強按原樣發稿了。一周之後，編輯終於接到記者的傳真。那個可憐的記者不僅被捕了，而且還被送進了監獄。不過，他終於獲准發回了一份傳真。在傳真中他告訴編輯，就在他數通向15英尺高的總統府圍牆的1，084級台階時，被抓了起來。
簡單英語閱讀短文篇三：
These days, people who do manual work often receive far more money than clerks who work in offices. People who work in offices are frequently referred to as' white collar workers' for the simple reason that they usually wear a collar and tie to go to work. Such is human nature, that a great many people are often willing to sacrifice higher pay for the privilege of becoming white collar workers. This can give rise to curious situations, as it did in the case of Alfred Bloggs who worked as a stman for the Ellesmere Corporation.
When he got married, Alf was too embarrassed to say anything to his wife about his job. He simply told her that he worked for the Corporation. Every morning, he left home dressed in a smart black suit. He then changed into overalls (n.工作服) and spent the next eight hours as a stman. Before returning home at night, he took a shower and changed back into his suit. Alf did this for over two years and his fellow stmen kept his secret. Alf's wife has never discovered that she married a stman and she never will, for Alf has just found another job. He will soon be working in an office as a junior clerk. He will be earning only half as much as he used to, but he feels that his rise in status is well worth the loss of money. From now on, he will wear a suit all day and others will call him 'Mr. Bloggs', not 'Alf'.
如今，從事體力勞動的人的收入一般要比坐辦公室的人高出許多。坐辦公室的之所以常常被稱作"白領工人"，就是因為他們通常是穿著硬領白襯衫，系著領帶去上班。許多人常常情願放棄較高的薪水以換取做白領工人的殊榮，此乃人之常情。而這常常會引起種種奇怪的現象，在埃爾斯米爾公司當清潔工的艾爾弗雷德.布洛斯就是一個例子。

The meaning of silence variesamong cultural groups. Silences may be thoughtful, or they may be empty when a personhas nothing to say. A silence in a conversation may also show stubbornness, or worry.Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as extremely uncomfortable; thereforeattempts may be made to fill every gap(間隙) with conversation. Persons in other cultural groups value silence andview it as necessary for understanding a person's needs.
Many Native Americans valuesilence and feel it is a basic part of communicating among people, just as sometraditional Chinese and Thai persons do. Therefore, when a person from one of thesecultures is speaking and suddenly stops, what maybe implied(暗示) is that the person wants the listener to consider what has beensaid before continuing. In these cultures, silence is a call for reflection.
Other cultures mayuse silence in other ways, particularly when dealing with conflicts amongpeople or in relationships of people with different amounts of power. For example, Russian, French, and Spanish persons may use silenceto show agreement between parties about the topic under discussion. However,Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in authorityrather than be rude to that person by arguing with him or her. In still anotheruse, persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect,particularly to an elder or a person in authority.
Nurses and othercare-givers need to be aware of the possible meanings of silence when they comeacross the personal anxiety their patients may be experiencing. Nurses shouldrecognize their own personal and cultural construction of silence so that apatient’s silence is not interrupted too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily.A nurse who understands the healing(治癒) value of silence can use this understanding to assist in the careof patients from their own and from other cultures.
32. What does the author say about silencein conversations?
A. It implies anger. B. It promotes friendship.
C. It is culture-specific. D. It iscontent-based.
33. Which of the following people mightregard silence as a call for careful thought?
A. The Chinese. B. The French.
C. The Mexicans. D. The Russians.
34. What does the author advise nurses todo about silence?
A. Let it continue as the patient pleases.
B. Break it while treating patients.
C. Evaluate its harm to patients.
D. Make use of its healing effects.
35. What may be the best title for thetext?
A. Sound and Silence
B. What It Means to Be Silent
C. Silence to Native Americans
D. Speech Is Silver; Silence Is Gold
中文翻譯：
沉默在不同文化群體之間意義不同。沉默可能是深思熟慮，或者當一個人無話可說時，可能就是一片空白。沉默在談話中能表達固執或擔心。沉默可能被一些文化群體覺得極其不舒服，因此他們會試圖填補對話中的每一個間隙。其他文化群體重視沉默，並認為沉默對於理解一個人的需求很必要。
許多印第安人重視沉默，就像一些傳統的中國人和泰國人那樣，認為它是人與人之間交流的一個基本部分。因此，當一個這些文化群體中的人在說話時突然停止，也許是在暗示希望聽眾在繼續之前思考一下之前說的話。在這些文化中，沉默是呼籲反思。
其他文化可能將沉默用在其他方面，特別是在處理人之間的沖突或權力不同的人之間的關系時。例如，俄羅斯人、法國人和西班牙人可能會用沉默來表示同意各方之間討論的主題。然而，墨西哥人在權威的人發出指令時可能會沉默，而不是粗魯地與之爭論。另一個用途是亞洲人可能把沉默作為尊重別人的標志，尤其是對一位長者或權威的人。
當護士和其他看護者遇到可能正在經歷焦慮的病人突然沉默時，要注意這可能意味著什麼。護士應該認識到他們自己可能沉默的原因並且從文化角度上理解病人沉默的原因，這樣病人的沉默不會過早被打斷，也不會讓病人繼續保持不必要的沉默。了解治癒沉默功效的護士可以通過理解自己和其它文化，來幫助照顧病人。

I was walking along the street when a stranger stopped me and asked me the way to a new restaurant. I answered and told him the route and direction carefully. As soon as I finished, the stranger thanked me and started off. To my surprise, he went in wrong direction. Then I stopped him at once and told him what wrong he had made. Unexpectedly, he smiled and told me the truth that he didn't really want to ask the way, but, instead, he was just trying to know whether everyone knew exactly where the new restaurant was, for he was the new owner of the restaurant. Then I knew who he was and what he wanted to do.
Ladies and gentlemen, I want to say something about trees. As we know now trees are very important to human beings. First of all, they benefit our health. They send out oxygen for us to breathe. We can't live without trees.Secondly, trees can beautify our environment.
As trees are so important, we must do our best to protect them. We must enforce the tree protection laws. We must plant as many trees as possible.Only in this way can we live happily in the beautiful world.
