现在只有第一篇不要拉倒旅行在火车的三个人开始了关于世界的最巨大的奇迹的一次交谈。“依我看”,第一个人说,“埃及金字塔是世界的最巨大的奇迹。虽然他们在几万年前就被建造,现在他们仍然站立。并且记住:修造他们的人民有仅简单的工具。他们没有建造者和工程师今天有的机械”。“我同意埃及金字塔是美妙的”,第二个人说,“但是我不认为他们是最巨大的奇迹。我相信计算机比金字塔美妙。他们把人带带到月球并且让他们安全回来。他们在将需要人一一百年做数学的在几秒钟内做出来”。他转到第三个人并且说,“您认为什么是世界最巨大的奇迹?”第三个人想了很长时间,然后他说,“很好,我同意金字塔是美妙的,并且我也同意计算机是美妙的。然而,以我所见,世界上最美妙的东西是这个热水瓶”。然后他从包里拿出热水瓶。另外两个人非常惊奇了。“热水瓶!”他们惊叫到。“但是那是一个简单的东西”。“哦没有,它不是”,第三个人说。“在冬天您在把一份热的饮料放进去,它保温。在夏天您投入一份冷的饮料,它保凉。热水瓶怎么知道是冬天还是夏天?”短篇的风格差异太大。我常看的有三、四个人的,但是我真说不好最爱是谁。GraduatingfromHighSchool?高中毕业Shewasgraduatingfromhighschool.Shewasexcited.Graduationwasinoneweek.Shehadtoprepareforgraduation.Shewenttothestore.Sheboughtmake-upandhairproducts.Shewantedtolookherbest.Next,shehadtobuyhergraduationgownatherschool.Thegownwasdarkblue.Itlookednice.Shetookithome.Shehungitinhercloset.Graduationwasthreedaysaway.Shewasproudofgraduating.Herfamilywasalsoproud.Shewasthefirstonetograduatefromhighschoolinherfamily.Itwasabigaccomplishment.Sheplannedtogotocollege.Graduationdaycame.Shegotdressedandready.Soon,shewasattheevent.Herfamilywasthere.Theywatchedfromadistance.Theycalledhername.Shewenttopickupherdiploma.Theaudiencecheered.Herfamilywashappy.Shewashappier.她要从高中毕业了因此感到很兴奋,毕业典礼在一周后,她需要为毕业典礼做些准备。她走进商店买了化妆品和护发产品,她想要呈现她最好的一面。随后她在学校买了毕业礼服,礼服为深蓝色的看起来非常漂亮,她把它带回了家挂在了衣柜里。距离毕业典礼只有三天了,对于顺利毕业她和她的家人都感到很骄傲,作为她的家庭中第一个从高中毕业的成员这是一个很大的成就。毕业典礼这一天到来了,她穿好礼服做好准备,很快她就去参加了毕业典礼活动,她的家人在那远远的看见她并喊她的名字,她过去接她的毕业证书,大家为她欢呼,她和她的家人都很开心。英文短篇(1)Threepassions,simplebutoverwhelminglystrong,havegovernedmylife:thelongingforlove,thesearchforknowledge,andunbearablepityforthesufferingofmankind.Thesepassions,likegreatwinds,haveblownmehitherandthither,inawaywardcourse,overadeepoceanofanguish,reachingtotheveryvergeofdespair.Ihavesoughtlove,first,becauseitbringsecstasy---ecstasysogreatthatIwouldoftenhavesacrificedalltherestofmylifeforafewhoursforthisjoy.Ihavesoughtit,next,becauseitrelievesloneliness---thatterriblelonelinessinwhichoneshiveringconsciousnesslooksovertherimoftheworldintothecoldunfathomablelifelessabyss.Ihavesoughtit,finally,becauseintheunionofloveIhaveseen,inamysticminiature,theprefiguringvisionoftheheaventhatsaintsandpoetshaveimagined.ThisiswhatIsought,andthoughitmightseemtoogoodforhumanlife,thisiswhat---atlast---Ihavefound.WithequalpassionIhavesoughtknowledge.Ihavewishedtounderstandtheheartsofmen.Ihavewishedtoknowwhythestarsshine.AndIhavetriedtoapprehendthePythagoreanpowerbywhichnumberholdsswayabovetheflux.Alittleofthis,butnotmuch,Ihaveachieved.Loveandknowledge,sofarastheywerepossible,ledupwardtowardtheheavens.Butalwaysitbroughtmebacktoearth.Echoesofcriesofpainreverberateinmyheart.Childreninfamine,victimstorturedbyoppressors,helplessoldpeopleahatedburdentotheirsons,andthewholeworldofloneliness,poverty,andpainmakeamockeryofwhathumanlifeshouldbe.Ilongtoalleviatetheevil,butIcannot,andItoosuffer.Thishasbeenmylife.Ihavefounditworthliving,andwouldgladlyliveitagainifthechancewereofferedme.英文短篇(2)Doyouwanttobehappy?Ofcourseyoudo,butaccordingtonewresearch,restingandrelaxationarenowaytogoaboutit.想要快乐吗?你当然想啦,不过最新研究显示,休息放松可不能让你快乐起来。Yourebetteroffgoingtothetheatreorexercising;evenavisittothelibrarybeatsloungingaroundonthesofa.你最好去剧院看场剧,或者去做运动,即使是去图书馆看书也比躺在沙发上无所事事要强。SuchwerethefindingsofajointstudybytheUniversityofSussexandtheLondonSchoolofEconomics,whichhascomeupwithalistof33activitiesthatmakeushappy.这是苏塞克斯大学和伦敦经济学院共同研究的发现,从中还得出了一份清单,列出了33件可以让我们快乐的事。Onethingsforcertain,textingandsocialmediacomeatthebottomofthelist,onlyincreasingourhappinessbyapuny0.45percent.可以肯定的是,短信和社交媒体只能让我们的快乐感增加微不足道的0.45%,排在了列表的末尾。Buthappinessdoesnthavetocomefromotherpeople.Itcancomefromwithin-andconnectingwiththeworldaroundyou.但是快乐不一定是来自别人的,它还可以源于自身,与你周围的世界有着紧密的联系。英文短篇(3)Howevermeanyourlifeis,meetitandliveit;donotshunitandcallithardnames.Itisnotsobadasyouare.Itlookspoorestwhenyouarerichest.Thefault-finderwillfindfaultsinparadise.Loveyourlife,poorasitis.Youmayperhapshavesomepleasant,thrilling,glorioushourss,eveninapoor-house.Thesettingsunisreflectedfromthewindowsofthealms-houseasbrightlyasfromtherichman’sabode;thesnowmeltsbeforeitsdoorasearlyinthespring.Idonotseebutaquietmindmayliveascontentedlythere,andhaveascheeringthoughts,asinapalace.Thetown’spoorseemtomeoftentolivethemostindependentlivesofany.Maybetheyaresimplygreatenoughtoreceivewithoutmisgiving.Mostthinkthattheyareabovebeingsupportedbythetown;butitoftenhappensthattheyarenotabovesupportingthemselvesbydishonestmeans.whichshouldbemoredisreputable.Cultivatepovertylikeagardenherb,likesage.Donottroubleyourselfmuchtogetnewthings,whetherclothesorfriends,Turntheold,returntothem.Thingsdonotchange;wechange.Sellyourclothesandkeepyourthoughts.不论你生活如何卑贱,你要面对它生活,不要躲避它,更别用恶言咒骂它。它不像你那样坏。你最富有时候,倒是看似最穷。爱找缺点人就是到里也能找到缺点。你要生活,尽管它贫穷。甚至在一个济贫院里,你也还有愉快、、光荣时候。夕阳反射在济贫院窗上,像身在富户人窗上一样光亮;在那门前,积同在早春融化。我只看到,一个从容人,在哪里也像在皇宫中一样,生活得心满意足而富有愉快思想。城镇中穷人,我看,倒往往是过着最独立不羁生活。也许因为他们很伟大,所以受之无愧。大多数人以为他们是超然,不靠城镇来支援他们;可是事实上他们是往往利用不正当手段来对付生活,他们是毫不超脱,毋宁是不体面。视贫穷如园中之花而像圣人一样耕植它吧!不要找新花样,无论是新或新衣服,来麻烦你自己。找旧,回到那里去。万物不变,是我们在变。你衣服可以卖掉,但要保留你思想。英文短篇(4)EveryoneknowsaboutChristmas!Itisawesternholiday,
