　　each time she kissed her mother before leaving， her mother would tear up and say， "i‘m sorry you drove so far and sat for so long and i didn‘t even wake up to talk with you。"

　　cheryl would tell her not to worry， it didn‘t matter， still her mother felt she had let her down and apologized at each good—bye until the day cheryl found a way to give her mother the same reassurance her mother had given to her so many times。

　　"mom， do you remember when i made the high school basketball team？" cheryl‘s mother nodded。 "you‘d drive so far and sit for so long and i never even left the bench to play。 you waited for me after every game and each time i felt bad and apologized to you for wasting your time。" cheryl gently took her mother‘s hand。

　　"do you remember what you would say to me？"

　　"and you meant those words， didn‘t you。"

　　"yes， i really did。"

　　"well， now i say the same words to you。 i didn‘t come to see you talk， i came to see you。"

　　a love so strong that， even in this deepened silence that followed their last good—bye， cheryl can still hear her mother‘s love。

　　Nearly everybody has a creek in his or her past, a secret waterway where one spent the spring of one’s youth.

　　An old man’s voice weakens as he talks of a boyhood creek in Louisian where he swam and fished. A woman feels suddenly at home again as she remembers catching fish in the creek behind her parents’ house.

　　My creek wound between Grandfather’s garden and a neighbor’s hillside pasture. Its banks were shaded by cottonwood3 and redwood trees. On hot summer days the clear and cold water flowed over the little beaches where I fished.

　　Nothing historic ever happened in these creeks, but they are deep in memory. These creeks are bigger than they seem. They are a part of our hearts and minds more than powerful rivers.

　　While rivers are heavy, creeks are clear, innocent, lively and full of dreams and promise.A child can paddle across them without a parent’s warnings. You can go to it alone, catch fish in it and swing from the ropes along its banks. Creeks belong to childhood, drawing you into a wider world, teaching you the curve of the earth.

　　Poet Robert Frost once wrote: It flows between us, over us and with us. And it is time, strength, tone, light, life and love.

　　Progress in science and the improvement of living conditions have led m the rapid growth of the world population. Modern medical science, for example, has made it possible

　　for babies to grow up healthily and for people to live longer.With improved living conditions, particularly in the countryside, people tend to have larger families. As a result, the world population has increased so rapidly that it has now exceeded 5 billion.

　　But the overgrowth of population presents a threat to the existence of human society. A large population demands a great deal of food supply and shelter space. However,the limited productivity and scarce natural resources can hardly meet the needs of the ever-Increasing population. Thus in the long run, the overgrowth of the world population will only harm mankind.

　　To guarantee the steady development of human society, mankind must realize the consequences resulting from a fast population growth and the importance of carrying out a family planning programme. Only by adopting effectual measures can human society develop steadily and have a bright future.

　　Henry David Thoreau/享利.大衛.梭羅

　　However mean your life is，meet it and live it ;do not shun it and call it hard names.It is not so bad as you are.It looks poorest when you are richest.The fault-finder will find faults in paradise.Love your life，poor as it is.You may perhaps have some pleasant，thrilling，glorious hourss，even in a poor-house.The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the alms-house as brightly as from the rich man’s abode;the snow melts before its door as early in the spring.I do not see but a quiet mind may live as contentedly there，and have as cheering thoughts，as in a palace.The town’s poor seem to me often to live the most independent lives of any.May be they are simply great enough to receive without misgiving.Most think that they are above being supported by the town;but it often happens that they are not above supporting themselves by dishonest means.which should be more disreputable.Cultivate poverty like a garden herb，like sage.Do not trouble yourself much to get new things，whether clothes or friends，Turn the old，return to them.Things do not change;we change.Sell your clothes and keep your thoughts.

　　It all began in June, 1976, when the new China National Womens Volleyball Team was formed. It wasnt easy, as the world of volleyball was dominated either by the Western teams which were characterized by their power and height, or by the more versatile Eastern teams (e.g. Japan) which are know for their speed and skill.

　　But the new team had two features that became important for their later success: Hope and a good coach. Yue Wai Man, 37 at that time, was named the head coach of the team. His unique vision made him realize to be one of the best, you have to learn what makes them the best. Therefore, a unique style combining speed, height, power and skill was developed.

　　Being the best of Asia was only the first step. Our beloved Chinese ladies knew full well what has been waiting for them next.

　　I really hope our Chinese Women Volleyball Team can win the gold again.

　　A Unique Job

　　A fathers job is unique.

　　If parents had job descriptions mine would read: organize bills, playmates, laundry, meals, laundry, carpool1, laundry, snacks, outings and shopping, and laundry.

　　The only thing on my husbands description would be the word “fun” written in big red letters along the top. Although he is a selfless caregiver and provider, our children think of him more as a combination of a jungle gym2 and bozo3 and clown.

　　Our parenting styles compliment each other. His style is a nonstop adventure where no one has to worry about washing their hands, eating vegetables, or getting cavities4. My style is similar to Mussolini5. Im too busy worrying to be fun. Besides, every time I try, I am constantly outdone by my husband.

　　I bought my children bubble gum flavored toothpaste and I taught them how to brush their teeth in tiny circles so they wouldnt get cavities. They thought it was neat until my husband taught them how to rinse6 by spitting out water between their two front teeth like a fountain.

　　I took the children on a walk in the woods and, after two hours, I managed to corral7 a slow ladybug8 into my sons insect cage. I was “cool” until their father came home, spent two minutes in the backyard, and captured a beetle the size of a Chihuahua9.

　　I try to tell myself I am a good parent even if my husband does things I cant do. I can make sure my children are safe, warm, and dry. Ill stand in line for five hours so the children can see Santa at the mall ?? or be first in line to see the latest Disney movie. But I cant wire the VCR1 so my children can watch their favorite video.

　　I can carry my children in my arms when they are tired, tuck them into bed, and kiss them goodnight. But I cant flip them upside down so they can walk on the ceiling or prop them on my shoulders so they can see the moths flying inside of the light fixture2.

　　I can take them to doctor appointments, scout meetings, or field trips to the aquarium3, but Ill never go into the wilderness, skewer4 a worm on a hook, reel in5 a fish, and cook it over an open flame on a piece of tin foil6.

　　Ill even sit in the first row of every Little League game and cheer until my throat is sore and my tonsils7 are raw8, but Ill never teach my son how to hit a home run9 or slide into first base10.

　　As a mother I can do a lot of things for my children, but no matter how hard I try ? I can never be their father.

　　短篇英文美文 13

　　Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind. These passions, like great winds, have blown me hither and thither, in a wayward course, over a deep ocean of anguish, reaching to the very verge of despair.

　　I have sought love, first, because it brings ecstasy---ecstasy so great that I would often have sacrificed all the rest of my life for a few hours for this joy. I have sought it, next, because it relieves loneliness---that terrible loneliness in which one shivering consciousness looks over the rim of the world into the cold unfathomable lifeless abyss. I have sought it, finally, because in the union of love I have seen, in a mystic miniature, the prefiguring vision of the heaven that saints and poets have imagined. This is what I sought, and though it might seem too good for human life, this is what---at last---I have found.

　　With equal passion I have sought knowledge. I have wished to understand the hearts of men. I have wished to know why the stars shine. And I have tried to apprehend the Pythagorean power by which number holds sway above the flux. A little of this, but not much, I have achieved.

　　Love and knowledge, so far as they were possible, led upward toward the heavens. But always it brought me back to earth. Echoes of cries of pain reverberate in my heart. Children in famine, victims tortured by oppressors, helpless old people a hated burden to their sons, and the whole world of loneliness, poverty, and pain make a mockery of what human life should be. I long to alleviate the evil, but I cannot, and I too suffer.

　　This has been my life. I have found it worth living, and would gladly live it again if the chance were offered me.

　　短篇英文美文 14

　　This slender volume opens with the story of Beniah, an infant rescued by sanitation workers from the stack of garbage in which he had been left to die. Without ever losing sight of Beniah and the too many other deserted children, the author, Sharon Emecz, tells the story of the two homes for abandoned children, Happy Life Kasarani and Happy Life Juja Farm, organized in the area of Nairobi, Kenya.

　　Developed more than a decade ago by two indomitable couples, Sharon and Jim Powell from Delaware in the USA, and Faith and Peter Kamau from Nairobi, the two settings provide the physical and emotional comforts that would otherwise have been denied the 102 abandoned children now living there, as well as having nurtured the many more who have found adoptive homes. More than that even, the two homes have literally saved the lives of all those children.

　　The book provides detail of the structure and functioning of The Happy Life homes allowing for an appreciation of their organization (as well as a pattern for their replication), and provides as well brief portraits of some of the children saved, of those adults who have opted to share a part of their lives with them whether through work or volunteering, and the adoptive parents who have pledged to share their homes and their love with the children who have become their own. Ms. Emecz gives the reader a real sense of the spiritual journey she has undergone in traveling from London to Nairobi, a journey she and her husband, Steve, now make at least annually.

　　短篇英文美文 15

　　A country maid was walking along with a can of milk upon her head, when she fell into the following train of reflections.” The money for which I shall sell this milk will enable me to increase my stock of eggs to three hundred, These eggs, allowing for what may prove addle, and what may be destroyed by vermin, will produce at least two hundred and fifty chickens. The chickens will be fit to carry to market just at the time when poultry is always dear; so that by the New Year I cannot fail of having money enough to purchase a new gown. Green-let me consider-yes, green becomes my complexion best. And green it shall be, in this dress I will go to the fair, where all young fellows will strive to have me for a partner; but no-I shall refuse every one of them, and with a disdainful toss turn from them."

　　Transported with this idea, she could not forbear acting with her head the thought that passed in her mind, when down came the can of milk! And all her imaginary happiness vanished in a moment.
