the cheongsam is a female dress with distinctive chinese features and enjoys a growing popularity in the international world of high fashion.
the name "cheongsam," meaning simply "long dress," entered the english vocabulary from the dialect of china's guangdong province (cantonese). in other parts of the country including beijing, however, it is known as "qipao", which has a history behind it.
when the early manchu rulers came to china proper, they organized certain people, mainly manchus, into "banners" (qi) and called them "banner people" (qiren), which then became loosely the name of all manchus. the manchu women wore normally a one-piece dress which, likewise, came to be called "qipao" or "banner dress." although the 1911 revolution toppled the rule of the qing (manchu) dynasty, the female dress survived the political change and, with later improvements, has become the traditional dress for chinese women.
easy to slip on and comfortable to wear, the cheongsam fits well the female chinese figure. its neck is high, collar closed, and its sleeves may be either short, medium or full length, depending on season and taste. the dress is buttoned on the right side, with a loose chest, a fitting waist, and slits up from the sides, all of which combine to set off the beauty of the female shape.
the cheongsam is not too complicated to make. nor does it call for too much material, for there are no accessories like belts, scarves, sashes or frills to go with it.
another beauty of the cheongsam is that, made of different materials and to varying lengths, they can be worn either on casual or formal occasions. in either case, it creates an impression of simple and quiet charm, elegance and neatness. no wonder it is so much liked by women not only of china but of foreign countries as well.
译文：
旗袍是具有中国特色的女性服饰，在国际高级时装世界日益普及。
名为“旗袍”的意思是“长礼服，从中国的广东省方言进入英语词汇(粤语)。然而在全国包括北京在内的其他地区，它被称为“旗袍”，其背后的历史。
当早期满族统治者来到中国市区，他们组织了一些人，主要是满族人，为“旗帜”(齐)，称他们为“旗人”(旗人)，然后所有满洲人的名字。满族妇女通常穿的连衣裙，同样地，来到被称为“旗袍”或“旗帜的衣服。”虽然1911革命推翻了清朝的统治(满族)王朝，女性服饰幸存下来的政治变革，后来的改进，已成为中国妇女的传统服饰。
易滑，穿着舒适，旗袍很适合中国的女性形象。它的脖子很高，衣领关闭，它的袖子可能是短，中等或全长，取决于季节和味道。衣服的纽扣在右边，一个松散的胸部，一个合适的腰，和缝了从边上，所有这一切都将掀起女性形状的美。
旗袍是不太复杂的制作。也不需要太多的物质，因为没有配件如皮带、围巾、腰带或装饰用它去。
另一个美丽的旗袍，用不同的材料和不同的长度，他们可以穿上休闲或正式场合。在任何情况下，它创建简单和安静的魅力印象，优雅和整洁。难怪有这么多喜欢的妇女不仅是中国，但外国的。
Your negative emotions can also be controlled and directed. PMA and self-discipline can remove their harmful effects and make them serve constructive purposes. Sometimes fear and anger will inspire intense action. But you must always submit your negative emotions--and you positive ones--to the examination of your reason before releasing them. Emotion without reason is a dreadful enemy.
你的消极心态同样也可被控制和导引，积极心态和自律 可去除其中有害的部分，而使这些消极心态能为目标贡献力 量。有的时候恐惧和生气会激发出更彻底的行动，但是在你释放消极情绪（以及积极情绪）之前务必要让你的理性为它们做一番检验，缺乏理性的情绪必然是一位可怕的敌人。
What faculty provides the crucial balance between emotions and reason? It is your willpower, or ego, a subject which will be explored in more detail below. Self-discipline will teach you to throw your willpower behind either reason or emotion and amplify the intensity of their expression.
是什么力量使得情绪和理性之间能够达到平衡呢？是意志力或自尊心（我将在以下做更详细的说明）。自律会教导你的意志力作为理性和情绪的后盾，并强化二者的表现强度。
I often go to bed at 21:30, because my parents force me to sleep.
They tell me that a good rest can bring me a good body.
Before go to sleep, I usually drink a cup of milk. I always have a good sleep at night.
I often get up at 6:30. It's very early, but I don't feel tired.
I can eat the breakfast at home and do not need to hurry.
I am often spirit in the class, but some of my classmates sometime would sleep in the class.
Maybe they are short of sleep.
我通常九点半就睡觉了，因为我父母强迫我睡觉。
他们告诉我休息好才能有好身体。
睡觉之前，我通常喝一杯牛奶。我晚上总是睡得很好。
我通常是六点半起床。虽然很早，但是我不觉得困。
我可以在家吃早餐，也不用赶着去学校。
课堂上我精神很好，但是我有的同学有时在课堂上睡觉。
也许他们缺少睡眠。
if you want to understand adversity, take two identical acorns from the same oak tree and plant them in two different locations. plant the first in the middle of a dense forest, and the other on a hill by itself.
如果你想理解什么是逆境，就去摘两颗从同一棵树上年龄相同的橡树果，并且把它们种到不同的地方。
第一颗种在浓密的树林当中，另外一颗则单独种在一座山上。
here's what will happen. the oak standing on a hillside is exposed to every storm and gale. as a result its roots plunge deep into the earth and spread in every direction, even wrapping themselves around giant boulders. at times it may seem the tree isn't growing fast enough—but the growth is happening underground. it's as if the roots know they must ported the tree from the threatening elements.
事情的结果便是这样。那颗长在山上的橡树经历了大风大雨，结果它的根深深地扎进了泥土中间，并不断向四周扩张，甚至把自己置身于巨大的石块当中。有时它可能看起来长的不是很快，但此时它却在地下悄悄生长着，好像它的根知道自己必须快速生长来保护树木免受自然危害的影响。
一、开场白(播放歌曲“琵琶语”)
男1：有一朵花开的时间需要去等待 于等待中细听花开的声音
男2：有一盏茶浓的间隙需要去品尝 在品尝里静观茶叶的沉浮
女1：花开花落 茶沉茶浮；
女2：心情积蓄 味道几何
停顿20秒
男1：伴随着这熟悉的乐曲，聆听着这动人的旋律，校园之声又如期和你见面了，尊敬的老师，亲爱的同学们。
合：大家下午好！
男2：我是播音员1 2 3 4
停顿10秒——音乐停
二、点歌送祝福
女1：英国的大诗人雪莱在《西风颂》里写道：“冬天来了，春天还会远吗？”而许多人不了解其写作背景，就说那不过是句废话。其实这句话只要明白季节更换的人才能真正领悟其含义。
女2：是的！因为明白季节更换的人才懂得人生的真谛！既然这样，今天在我们广播站改版第一期的新栏目——《点歌送祝福》里，为我们所有的同学们送上一首《明天会更好》，希望我们的未来辉煌灿烂！
播放音乐——明天会更好
歌曲播放完毕，紧接——
三、学法指导
女1：经常有同学反映英语的阅读理解怎么那么难，其实在英语的学习中，勤奋是一回事，同样重要的是有适合自己的学习方法，今天的《快乐学习法》将给打家介绍：如何改变阅读习惯，提高分数。
男1：由于没有掌握正确的阅读方法，同学们习惯于在不加限定的时间内，对一小块文章精雕细琢，导致了逐词阅读接受信息的习惯。
你知道是阅读速度和理解阅读两个方面在影响着你的阅读能力吗？除了掌握大量的词汇量之外，你有没有注意到自己的阅读速度，你的方法正确、合理吗？检查一下你有没有以下的阅读习惯，改掉它们你的阅读理解就会迎来奇迹！
男2：一，“指读”，即为了“集中注意力”，用手指或笔尖指着文章细细的逐词阅读。一遇到生词，便停顿下来，无法在通篇理解的基础上继续进行阅读。也影响整句或整段的意思的理解。
女2：二、“唇读”，即有的学生在阅读中喜欢读出声来，或即使不出声，嘴唇蠕动，或脑子里也在想着读音，无形当中影响了大脑的思维速度。
女1：三、“回读”，也叫“即时重读”即在阅读中遇到生词或不熟悉的短语时，返回句首甚至段首重读；还有相当多的学生对阅读产生心理定势，即认为自已第一遍肯定读不懂，因此反复多遍，浪费很多时间。
男1;四、“译读”，即在阅读过程中，不断地进行单词逐句的翻译，通过译成母语来辅助理解。
女2：听了以上介绍，大家有没有什么启发呢？希望每一位同学都可以从中学到自己所需要的学习方法，不断提高自我。
停顿5秒
四、佳作欣赏
女1：在水一样幽深的风景里，他们的文章如音乐般回荡；伸出我们弱弱的手指，去接触文学最美的地方••• 大家好，“佳作欣赏”栏目又跟您见面了
停顿5秒(播放音乐“童年”)
女2：青春是仅属于你一次的花季，让你在幸福的时候，要倍加珍惜，苦难的时候，要倍加坚韧，细心地采撷每一种花的标本，留住那永恒的生命的芬芳，今天我们带给大家的是散文《青春•理想》：
男1;我们，撇下无知迎来了属于我们的青春。青春，让我们肆无忌惮，畅然释 怀，体味风那样的自由，感受云那般的自在，因为青春赋予我们的是生命的巅峰，我们无须成熟，我们不再无知，我们唯有执着。
女1：人生是对理想的追求，理想是人生的指示灯，失去了这灯的作用，就会失去生活的勇气。因此，只有坚持远大的人生理想，才不会在生活的海洋中迷失方向。托尔斯泰将人生的理想分成一辈子的理想，一个阶段的理想，一年的理想，一个月的理想，甚至一天、一小时、一分钟的理想。当你听到这里，同学们，你是否想到了自己的理想？
男2：人生的花季是生命的春天，它美丽，却短暂。作为一名大学生就应该在这一时期，努力学习，奋发向上，找到一片属于自己的天空。青年是祖国的希望，民族的未来。每个人主宰着自己的明天。
男1：有一位哲人说过：“梦里走了许多路，醒来还是在床上。”它形象地告诉我们一个道理：人不能躺在梦幻式的理想中生活。是的，人不仅要有理想，还要大胆幻想，但更要努力去做，在理想中躺着等待新的开始，如果不仅遥遥无期，甚至连已经拥有的也会失去。同学们，你们是否也正在梦幻的理想中彷徨呢？
女2：前人说得好，“有志之人立长志，无志之人常立志”，那些无志之人的“志”，就是美梦，就是所谓的“理想”，他们把自己的蓝图构画得再美好，再完善，也只是空中楼阁，海市蜃楼罢了。同学们，你是立长志之人，还是常立志之人呢？
男2 ：梁启超说过：“少年智则国智，少年富则国富，少年强则国强，少年进步则国进步，少年雄于地球，则国雄于地球。”让我们洒一路汗水，饮一路风尘，嚼一跟艰辛，让青春在红旗下继续燃烧；愿每一位青年都怀抱着自己的理想，在人生的航程上不断乘风破浪，奋勇前进！
音乐继续，停顿30秒，播放“初雪”
男1：常有人问“面对命运我该如何选择，命运究竟是失败者的借口，还是无法抗拒的结局。”接下来的这首诗就能告诉你答案，请欣赏诗歌《命运》。
男2：命运， 是一个人，他随时随地在你身旁，他想让你干什么你就得干什么。
女1：命运， 是可以掌握的， 在每个人的心中，有着不同的对命运的设想。
女2：命运，你看不见他，但你的命运只有两个人知道。一是上天，另一个就是你的命运。
女1：命运，是很难读懂的。时不时，命运还会被别人误解。
(隔5秒)
男1：给我一次困难，让我懂得克服； 给我一次挫折，让我经受磨练；
男2：给我一次失败，让我学会承受； 给我一次耻辱，让我理解振作。
女1：命运，就是这样，困难、挫折、失败、耻辱，五味俱全；克服、磨练、承受、振作，懂得人生的真谛。
男1：命运，就像是写作时手中的笔， 只有自己可以掌握。
五、结束：
男2：今天，我们阐述了对青春、理想以及命运，讲述了一个个的故事。时间像指尖划过的细沙，在不经意间悄然逝去。转眼，今天的广播已接近尾声，欢迎您下次聆听，继续我们的心路旅程。老师、同学们下周再见！

Youth
By Samuel Ullman
Youth is not a time of life; itis a state of mind; it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and suppleknees; it is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of theemotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.
Youth means a temperamentalpredominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over thelove of ease. This often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20. Nobodygrows old merely by a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals.
Yearsmay wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear,self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust.
Whether 60 or 16, there is inevery human being’s heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing appetite for what’snext and the joy of the game of living. In the center of your heart and myheart, there is a wireless station; so long as it receives messages of beauty,hope, courage and power from man and from the infinite, so long as you areyoung.
When your aerials are down, andyour spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, thenyou’ve grown old, even at 20; but as long as your aerials are up, to catchwaves of optimism, there’s hope you may die young at 80.
译文：
青春
青春不是年华，而是心境；青春不是桃面、丹唇、柔膝，而是深沉的意志，恢宏的想象，炙热的恋情；青春是生命的深泉在涌流。
青春气贯长虹，勇锐盖过怯弱，进取压倒苟安。如此锐气，二十后生而有之，六旬男子则更多见。年岁有加，并非垂老，理想丢弃，方堕暮年。
岁月悠悠，衰微只及肌肤；热忱抛却，颓废必致灵魂。忧烦，惶恐，丧失自信，定使心灵扭曲，意气如灰。
无论年届花甲，拟或二八芳龄，心中皆有生命之欢乐，奇迹之诱惑，孩童般天真久盛不衰。人人心中皆有一台天线，只要你从天上人间接受美好、希望、欢乐、勇气和力量的信号，你就青春永驻，风华常存。
一旦天线下降，锐气便被冰雪覆盖，玩世不恭、自暴自弃油然而生，即使年方二十，实已垂垂老矣；然则只要树起天线，捕捉乐观信号，你就有望在八十高龄告别尘寰时仍觉年轻。
Where do you like to live, in the city or in the country?
Most cities are centers of economy, trade, transportation or culture. With the development of economy and society, more and more people have flooded into the cities, which make the scale of the cities larger and larger. Surely, it is very convenient for shopping, education, business and so on. But it also has many disadvantages: the large population makes it crowded in each corner of the city; the big factories, too many cars, buses and trucks pollute the clean air; too much noise can make people mad. To live in the city, one even can’t get enough room for living.
To live in the country is another thing. You can breathe the fresh air cheerfully, own a spacious house with a big backyard, and relax yourself in quietness. But when you want to go shopping, or take your child to school, perhaps you will complain about its inconvenient transportation, its remoteness…I am an ordinary person. I am always longing for the peaceful idyllic（田园诗般的） life of the countryside.
The fortunate people in the world—the only reallyfortunate people in the world, in my mind, are those whose work is also their pleasure. The class is not a large one, not nearly so large as it is often represented to be; and authors are perhaps one of the most important elements in its composition.They enjoy in this respect at least a real harmony of life.
To my mind, to be able to make your work your pleasure is the one class distinction in the world worth striving for; and I do not wonder that others are inclined to envy those happy human beings who find their livelihood in the gay effusions of their fancy, to whom every hour of labour is an hour of enjoyment, to whom repose—however necessary—is a tiresome interlude. And even a holiday is almost deprivation.
Whether a man writes well or ill, has much to say or little, if he cares aboutwriting at all, he will appreciate the pleasures of composition. To sit at one's table on a sunny morning, with four clear hours of uninterruptible security, plenty of nice white paper, and a Squeezer pen—that is true happiness.
The complete absorption of the mind upon an agreeable occupation—what more is there than that to desire? What does it matter what happens outside？The House of Commons may do what it likes, and so may the House of Lords. The heathen may rage furiously in every part of the globe.
The bottom may be knocked clean out of the American market. Consols may fall and suffragettes may rise. Nevermind, for four hours, at any rate, we will withdraw ourselves from a common, ill-governed, and disorderly world, and with the key of fancy unlock that cupboard where all the good things of the infinite are put away.
Winter is very cold and windy in most parts of China.I usually look forward to the Spring Festival and the winter holiday when I can go to the south where the climate is warmer during these holidays.Also,I look forward to seeing my grandparents and my friends.
Winter is the time everyone is in a festive mood.In the city,I usually do a lot of reading at home in the winter because of eh cold weather outside.
中国大部分地区的冬天是即冷又有风的。我总是盼望着春节或寒假，到时候我就可以去南方了，当地的气候在这时会暖和的多。我也盼望着去探望我的祖父母和我的朋友。冬天，每个人都怀着喜庆的心情。在城里，冬天的时候我经常待在家里尽情地看书，因为外面的天气非常的冷。
As food is to the body, so is learning to the mind. Our bodies grow and muscles develop with the intake of adequate nutritious food. Likewise, we should keep learning day by day to maintain our keen mental power and expand our intellectual capacity. Constant learning supplies us with inexhaustible fuel for driving us to sharpen our power of reasoning, analysis, and judgment. Learning incessantly is the surest way to keep pace with the times in the information age, and an infallible warrant of success in times of uncertainty.
Once learning stops, vegetation sets in. It is a common fallacy to regard school as the only workshop for the acquisition of knowledge. On the contrary, learning should be a never-ending process, from the cradle to the grave. With the world ever changing so fast, the cease from learning for just a few days will make a person lag behind. What's worse, the animalistic instinct dormant deep in our subconsciousness will come to life, weakening our will to pursue our noble ideal, sapping our determination to sweep away obstacles to our success and strangling our desire for the refinement of our character. Lack of learning will inevitably lead to the stagnation of the mind, or even worse, its fossilization, Therefore, to stay mentally young, we have to take learning as a lifelong career.
学习之于心灵，就像食物之于身体一样。摄取了适量的营养食物，我们的身体得以生长而肌肉得以发达。同样地，我们应该日复一日不断地学习以保持我们敏锐的心智能力，并扩充我们的智力容量。不断的学习提供我们用不尽的燃料，来驱使我们磨利我们的推理、分析和判断的能力。持续的学习是在信息时代中跟时代并驾齐驱的最稳当的方法，也是在变动的世代中成功的可靠保证。
一旦学习停止，单调贫乏的生活就开始了。视学校为汲取知识的唯一场所是种常见的谬误。相反地，学习应该是一种无终止的历程，从生到死。由于世界一直快速地在变动，只要学习停顿数日就将使人落后。更糟的是，蛰伏在我们潜意识深处的本能就会复活，削弱我们追求高贵理想的意志，弱化我们扫除成功障碍的决心，而且扼杀我们净化我们人格的欲望。缺少学习将不可避免地导致心灵的停滞，甚至更糟地，使其僵化。因此，为了保持心理年轻，我们必须将学习当作一生的事业。
I remember quite clearly now when the story happened. The autumn leaves were floating in 1)measure down to the ground, recovering the lake, where we used to swim like children, under the sun was there to shine. That time we used to be happy. Well, I thought we were. But the truth was that you had been 2)longing to leave me, not daring to tell me. On that precious night, watching the lake, vaguely 3)conscious, you said: “Our story is ending.”
The rain was killing the last days of summer. You had been killing my last breath of love, since a long time ago. I still don’t think I’m gonna make it through another love story. You took it all away from me. And there I stand, I knew I was going to be the one left behind. But still I’m watching the lake, vaguely conscious, and I know my life is ending.
我仍清晰地记得故事发生的时候。秋叶翻飞，飘落一地。我们曾经孩子般戏水畅游过的小湖盖满落叶，在太阳下闪着光。那时我们幸福过。哦，我是这样认为的。可事实上你早就想离开我，你只是不敢告诉我罢了。在那美丽的夜晚，眼望湖水，恍惚中听见你说：我们的故事已到尽头。
雨水扼杀着所剩无几的夏日，而你很久以来也在扼杀我奄奄一息的爱。但我仍不认为自己会再去经历另一段爱情故事。你把一切都带走了。我只有悄然伫立，早已明白自己将会是那个被遗弃的人。而我依然凝望着湖水，恍惚中，我知道生命正离我而去。
There are people in the world who love the bloom of the spring, some love summer in summer, some love the fruitful autumn, and I love the heavy snow in winter.
The window is still under a heavy snow drifting profusely and disorderly. I opened the door, the whole world is a vast expanse of whiteness, snow, as if into a fairy tale world, snow like flocks of elves, the earth covered with a drop from the clouds, coat. I stand in the snow, gently catch a snowflake, cool, and it has six petals, sparkling, gradually it is in my hand into water, my palms get wet.
Winter is the most happy snowman, class, my classmates and I play in the snow, I want an idea: "we have a snowball fight." My classmates disagreed. Later I made snowmen together. We worked in the division of labor. I was responsible for doing the snowball well. He was responsible for putting carrots, branches and straw hats in various parts of the snowman.
Ah! Beautiful winter, you like a picture can not be seen, not finished.
