辉煌之路

Paving A Brilliant Way

铺就辉煌之路

Tonight is a particular honor for me, let's face it; my presence on stage is pretty unlikely

今晚对我而言颇不寻常，我们得承认，我能站在这里本身就已意义非凡。

My father was a foreign student, born and raised in a all village in Kenya He grew up herding goats, and went to school in a tin-roof shack His father, my grandfather, was a cook, a domestic servant to British

我父亲是一个外国留学生，他原本生于肯亚的一个小村庄，并在那里长大成人。他小的时候还放过羊，上的学校简陋不堪，屋顶上仅有块铁皮来遮风挡雨。而他的父亲，也就是我的祖父，不过是个普通的厨子，还做过家佣。

But my grandfather had lager dreams for their son Through hard work and perseverance my father got a scholarship to study in a magical place: America that shone as a beacon of freedom and opportunity to so many who had e before

但祖父对父亲抱以厚望。凭借不懈的努力和坚忍不拔的毅力，父亲荣获赴美留学的机会，而且还拿到奖学金。美国这片神奇的土地，对于很多踏上这片国土的人而言，意味着自由和机遇。

While studying here, my father met my mother She was born in a town on the other side of the world Her father was an oil rigs and a farm worker through most of the depression The day after Pearl Harbor, my grandfather joined Patton's army, marching across Europe

还在留学期间，父亲与母亲不期而遇。母亲来自完全不同的另一个世界，她生于堪萨斯的一个小镇。大萧条时期，外祖父为谋生计，曾在石油钻井打工，还曾在农场务农。日军偷袭珍珠港后的第二天，他就自愿应征入伍，在巴顿将军麾下，转战南北，横扫欧洲。

Back home, my grandmother raised a baby and went to work on a bomber assembly line After the war, they studied on the GI Bill, bought a house through FHA, and later moved to west, all the way to Hawaii, in search of opportunity

他们赐予我一个非洲名字，巴拉克，意为“上天福佑”, 因为他们相信，在如此包容的国度中，这样的名字不应成为成功的羁绊。

They imagined me going to the best schools in the land, even though they weren’t rich, because in a generous America you don’t have to achieve your potential

尽管他们生活并不宽裕，还是想方设法让我接受当地最好的教育，因为在这样一个富足的国度中，无论贫富贵贱，都同样有机会发展个人的潜力。

They are both passed away now Yet, I know that, on this night, they look down on me with great pride

现在他们都已不在人世，不过，我知道，他们的在天之灵，此时此刻正在骄傲地关注着我。

一杯牛奶的温暖

一天，一个贫穷的小男孩为了攒够学费正挨家挨户地推销商品。饥寒交迫的他摸遍全身，却只有一角钱。于是他决定向下一户人家讨口饭吃。

One day, a poor boy who was trying to pay his way through school by selling goods door to door found that he only had one dime left He was hungry so he decided to beg for a meal at the next house

然而，当一位美丽的年轻女子开启房门的时候，这个小男孩却有点不知所措了。他没有要饭，只乞求给他一口水喝。这位女子看到他饥饿的样子，就倒了一大杯牛奶给他。男孩慢慢地喝完牛奶，问道：“我应该付多少钱”

However, he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water She thought he looked hungry so she brought him a large glass of milk He drank it slowly, and then asked, "How much do I owe you"

年轻女子微笑着回答：“一分钱也不用付。我妈妈教导我，施以爱心，不图回报。”男孩说：“那么，就请接受我由衷的感谢吧!”说完，霍华德·凯利就离开了这户人家。此时的他不仅自己浑身是劲儿，而且更加相信上帝和整个人类。本来，他都打算放弃了。

"You don't owe me anything," she replied "Mother has taught me never to accept pay for a kindness" He said, "Then I thank you from the bottom of my heart" As Howard Kelly left that house, he not only felt stronger physically, but it also increased his faith in God and the human race He was about to give up and quit before this point

数年之后，那位女子得了一种罕见的重病，当地医生对此束手无策。最后，她被转到大城市医治，由专家会诊治疗。大名鼎鼎的霍华德·凯利医生也参加了医疗方案的制定。当他听到病人来自的那个城镇的名字时，一个奇怪的念头霎时间闪过他的脑际。他马上起身直奔她的病房。

Years later the young woman became critically ill The local doctors were baffled They finally sent her to the big city, where specialists can be called in to study her rare disease Dr Howard Kelly, now famous was called in for the consultation When he heard the name of the town she came from, a strange light filled his eyes Immediately, he rose and went down through the hospital hall into her room

身穿手术服的凯利医生来到病房，一眼就认出了恩人。回到会诊室后，他决心一定要竭尽所能来治好她的病。从那天起，他就特别关照这个对自己有恩的病人。

Dressed in his doctor's gown he went in to see her He recognized her at once He went back to the consultation room and determined to do his best to save her life From that day on, he gave special attention to her case

经过艰苦的努力，手术成功了。凯利医生要求把医药费通知单送到他那里，他一下，便在通知单的旁边签了字。当医药费通知单送到她的病房时，她不敢看。因为她确信，治病的费用将会花费她整个余生来偿还。最后，她还是鼓起勇气，翻开了医药费通知单，旁边的那行小字引起了她的注意，她不禁轻声读了出来：

After a long struggle, the battle was won Dr Kelly requested the business office to pass the final bill to him for approval He looked at it and then wrote something on the side The bill was sent to her room She was afraid to open it because she was positive that it would take the rest of her life to pay it off Finally she looked, and the note on the side of the bill caught her attention She read these words

“医药费已付：一杯牛奶。” 签名霍华德·凯利医生

"Paid in full with a glass of milk"Signed Dr Howard Kelly

喜悦的泪水溢位了她的眼睛，她默默地祈祷著：“谢谢你，上帝，你的爱已通过人类的心灵和双手传播了。”

Tears of joy flooded her eyes as she prayed silently: "Thank You, God Your love has spread through human hearts and hands"

读后续写英语情感描写方法如下：

英语读后续写应该根据前面的文章内容来进行延伸，要通读全文，读懂原文，构思情节，谋篇布局，理清逻辑，优化语言。通读全文，读懂原文。搞清楚文章的人物，时间，地点，起因，发生的事情。把文章的意是读清楚，知道文章表达的意思。

英语读后续写技巧：首先构思故事情节，谋篇布局。在了解原文的基础上，构建故事的走向，用运自己的理解，谋划故事发展的方向和结局。

最后理清逻辑，组织语言。把要继写的情节和描写的场景条理化，按照事物发展的一般规律有条有理的续写。注意逻辑思维清晰，语言表述优美，同时表达完整不产生歧义，语句要通顺，语法要正确，单词拼写正确。

1、内容

在阅卷过程中，我们发现，一部分考生没有读懂原文，如不认识bear spray，不理解a bright red cloud enveloped the animal，没有理清人物关系，误认为Paul与Mac是好朋友：这部分考生由于阅读能力直接影响到续写的发挥。

2、语言

从评卷结果来看，考生出现的问题偏向于刻意追求运用高级、新颖的词汇，强行运用复杂句型等语法结构，而忽略了与原文语言环境的符合度和连贯度。

How to Be Happy - Why Happiness and Sadness

By Remi Cartier

The 2 concepts are opposite though complimentary As strange as it can be, there would not be happiness without sadness or misery

Life is a question of balance, nature is a question of balance, and as part of this universe we need to conform to those most elementary rules

Take the example of magnets They need to be a polarity for that physical property to exist The same apply to many concepts in life

It doesn't have to be physical properties, but there must be a balance

When people think: "Ah it would be so cool if everybody was equal" It would not work! There need to be some motion, man cannot stand stillness

(At least in their whole lifetime)Usually after a certain age people are eager to stabilize, but before they would feel the need to move,

In any directions, but to move It is like silence Some people think that silence is death, in the same way stillness is death

The thing is that it is becoming truer and truer With manual labors, you could hone your skill till you were the best

There was a physical limit to the speed you could move With our mind-oriented society, the boundaries are expanded a lot!

For example, our eyes usually read at a speed of 300 words per minute, but our brain can read/understand more than 30000 words per minute!

The brain is so powerful that a person who really wants to succeed will basically have to learn everyday to reach a sufficient level of knowledge

Most people thing that because they are not more in schools they don't have to learn anymore That is a very big mistake! You will never succeed if you think like that You will stay average and have an average life Happiness also comes from satisfaction, achievements If you stay 40 years in the same company doing the same job, you won't get that feeling, and in that situation reaching a happy state will be harder You will simply be bored, and basically wait for your death A friend of mine used this sentence to describe this situation

"People walk carefully to their death"

Finally we have that polarity between people: leaders, people who want to succeed, who will work to it and followers, people who don't want to take decision and live an average peaceful life

Ask all those achievers how they feel Few will tell you they want to commit suicide!

On the other hand ask an average guy what he thinks about his life Many will tell you they have so many things left to do, and will probably never be able to do them!

As a last word, I would say: Stay in motion it is far easier to move when you are already moving! Motion will bring achievements, and achievements will bring happiness!

Man cannot stay in a positive state forever This would become his normal state, and wouldn't feel happy anymore

You have 2 options Either you move forward, and search greater happiness to enhance your general level, or you move backward, or totally fall Falling is far faster that going backward It can kill you, or it can re-create that feeling, that need of accomplishment starting in a difficult context Life is a game; better know the rules to enjoy your life at maximum!

Happiness and Sadness Spread Just Like Disease

There may be a literal truth underlying the common-sense intuition that happiness and sadness are contagious

A new study on the spread of emotions through social networks shows that these feelings circulate in patterns analogous to what’s seen from epidemiological models of disease

Earlier studies raised the possibility, but had not mapped social networks against actual disease models

“This is the first time this contagion has been measured in the way we think about traditional infectious disease,” said biophysicist Alison Hill of Harvard University

Data in the research, in the July 7 Proceedings of the Royal Society, comes from the Framingham Heart Study, a one-of-a-kind project which since 1948 has regularly collected social and medical information from thousands of people in Framingham, Massachusetts

Earlier analyses found that a variety of habits and feelings, including obesity, loneliness, smoking and happiness appear to be contagious

In the current study, Hill’s team compared patterns of relationships and emotions measured in the study to those generated by a model designed to track SARS, foot-and-mouth disease and other traditional contagions They discounted spontaneous or immediately shared emotion — friends or relatives undergoing a common experience — and focused on emotional changes that followed changes in others

In the spread of happiness, the researchers found clusters of “infected” and “uninfected” people, a pattern considered a “hallmark of the infectious process,” said Hill “For happiness, clustering is what you expect from contagion rates Whereas for sadness, the clusters were much larger than we’d expect Something else is going on”

Happiness proved less social than sadness Each happy friend increased an individual’s chances of personal happiness by 11 percent, while just one sad friend was needed to double an individual’s chance of becoming unhappy

Patterns fit disease models in another way “The more friends with flu that you have, the more likely you are to get it But once you have the flu, how long it takes you to get better doesn’t depend on your contacts The same thing is true of happiness and sadness,” said David Rand, an evolutionary dynamics researcher at Harvard “It fits with the infectious disease framework”

The findings still aren’t conclusive proof of contagion, but they provide parameters of transmission rates and network dynamics that will guide predictions tested against future Framingham results, said Hill and Rand And whereas the Framingham study wasn’t originally designed with emotional information in mind, future studies tailored to test network contagion should provide more sophisticated information

Both Hill and Rand warned that the findings illustrate broad, possible dynamics, and are not intended to guide personal decisions, such as withdrawing from friends who are having a hard time

“The better solution is to make your sad friends happy,” said Rand
