早读英语精华本基础篇Lesson1Tell Me The Truth About LoveSome say that loves a little boy, And some say its bird. Some say it makes the world go round, And some say thats absurd, And when I asked the man next-door, Who looked as if he knew, His wife got very cross indeed, And said it wouldnt do. Does it look a pair of pyjamas, Or the ham in a temperance hotel? Does its odor remind one of llamas, Or has it a comforting smell? Is it sharp or quite smooth at the edges? Oh tell me the truth about love. When it comes, will it come without warning Just as Im picking my nose? Will its knock on my door in the morning, Or tread in the bus on my toes? Will it come like a change in the weather? Will it greeting be courteous or rough? Will it alter my life altogether? Oh tell me the truth about love.告诉我爱情的真相 有人说爱情是个小男孩 也有人说像只小鸟 有人说它令世界运行 也有人说那是荒谬， 当我去询问邻居的男子 他仿佛对爱情了燃 而他的妻子怒火填腐， 说那并无可能。 爱情看起来像一条睡裤， 还是像无酒旅馆的火腿？ 它闻起来是骆驼的气味， 还是芬芳而温馨？ 它摸起来是犹如多刺的树篱， 还是柔软若鸭绒？ 它的凌厉还是光滑？ 哦，告诉我爱情的真相吧。 爱情的来临是否悄无预告 像我挖鼻子那样吗？ 它是否会在早晨敲响我的门， 还是会给我一脚踩到公共汽车里？ 它的到来会不会像季候的变化？ 它的问候是谦恭仰或粗鲁？ 它会让我的生活天翻地覆吗？ 哦，告诉我爱情的真相吧。早读英语精华本基础篇-Lesson2Think I Can If you think you are beaten, you are; If you think you dare not, you dont; If you want to win but think you cant; Its almost a cinch you wont.

I Think I Can 我想我能行 如果你认为你败了，那你就一败涂地; 如果你认为你不敢，那你就会退缩畏葸； 如果你想赢但是认为你不能; 那么毫无疑问你就会失利。 如果你认为你输了，你就输了; 因为我们发现人世间 成功从一个人的意志开始; 成功是一种心态。 生活之战中， 胜利并非总是属于更强和更快的人， 胜利者终究是 认为自己能行的人。早读英语精华本基础篇-Lesson3I AMI am only one but still Im one I can not do everythingbut still I can do something I will not refuse to do that something I can do早读英语精华本基础篇-Lesson4Yesterday once more 昨日重现Thank you for the music, the songs Im singing Thanks for all the joy theyre bringing Who can live without it, I ask in all honestly What would life be?

Well, I thought we were. But the truth was that you had been longing to leave me; not daring to tell me. On that precious night, watching the lake, vaguely 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 dont think Im goanna make it through another love story. You took it all away from me. And there I stand; I know I was going to be the one left behind. But still I am watching the lake, vaguely conscious, and I know my life is ending.秋之湖还清晰地记得，记得我们的故事开始的那一刻。在那个金色的秋天，飞舞的落叶，片片飘零，旋转飘落，浮向静静的湖面。阳光下，湖水泛着点点金光。在这里，我们曾像个天真的孩子，快乐地嬉戏着。那是一段幸福、快乐的日子，至少，我这样认为。其实，我是知道的，你一直想要离开我。只是不忍心告诉我。在那个夜晚，那个值得一生回忆的夜晚，看着静静的湖面，恍忽间，好像是，你对我说：“我们的故事结束吧。”秋雨，带走了夏天的最后一丝余热，而你，也将我全部的爱都带走了。没有了，永远也不会再有了，那刻骨铭心的爱恋。因为，你已将它从我身边，全部地，毫无保留地带走了。我静静地站着，象个找不到归家的路的孩子。 看着静静的湖面，我的视线又一次模糊了。恍忽间，我发现，我的生命已经结束了。早读英语精华本基础篇-Lesson9If the Dream is Big Enough(I)-为了心中的梦想(一)I used to watch her from my kitchen widow, she seemed so small as she muscled her way through the crowd of boys on the playground.The school was across the street from our home and I would often watch the kids as they played during recess.A sea of children, and yet tome, she stood out from them all.I remember the first day I saw her playing basketball. I watched in wonder as she ran circles around the other kids.She managed to shoot jump shots just over their heads and into the net.The boys always tried to stop her but no one could.I began to notice her at other times, basketball in hand, playing alone,She would practice dribbling and shooting over and over again, sometimes until dark.One day I asked her why she practiced so much. She looked directly in my eyes and without a moment of hesitation she said,“I want to go to college. The only way I can go is if I get a scholarship.I like basketball. i decided that if I were good enough, I would get a scholarship. I am going to play college basketball.I want to be the best. My Daddy told me if the dream is big enough, the facts dont count.”Then she smiled and ran towards the court to recap the routine I had seen over and over again.Well, I had to give it to her - she was determined I watched her through those junior high years and into high school.Every week, she led her varsity team to victory.早读英语精华本基础篇-Lesson10If the Dream is Big Enough(II)-为了心中的梦想(二)One day in her senior year, I saw her sitting in the grass, head cradled in her arms.I walked across the street and sat down in the cool grass beside her. Quietly I asked what was wrong.Oh, nothing. Came a soft reply. I am just too short.The coach told her that at 55 she would probably never get to play for a top ranked team much less offered a scholarship - so she should stop dreaming about college.She was heartbroken and I felt my own throat tighten as I sensed her disappointment.I asked her if she had talked to her dad about it yet.She lifted her head from her hands and told me that her father said those coaches were wrong.They just did not understand the power of a dream. He told her that if she really wanted to play for a good college, if she truly wanted a scholarship.That nothing could stop her except one thing-her own attitude.He told her again, If the dream is big enough, the facts dont count.The next year, as she and her team went to the Northern California Championship game, she was seen by a college recruiter.She was indeed of freed a scholarship, a full ride, to a Division I, NCAA womens basketball team.She was going to get the college education that she had dreamed of and worked toward for all those years.Its true: If the dream is big enough, the facts dont count.高中那会儿的某一天，我看见她坐在草地上，头埋在臂弯里。我穿过街道，坐到她旁边的清凉的草地上。我轻轻地问出什么事了。“哦，没什么”，她轻声回答，“只是我太矮了。”原来篮球教练告诉她，以五英尺五英寸的身材，她几乎是没有机会到一流的球队去打球的更不用说会获得奖学金了所以她应该放弃想上大学的梦想。她很伤心，我也觉得自己的喉咙发紧，因为我感觉到了她的失望。我问她是否与她的爸爸谈过这件事。她从臂弯里抬起头，告诉我，她爸爸说那些教练错了。他们根本不懂得梦想的力量。他告诉她，如果真的想到一个好的大学去打篮球，如果她真的想获得奖学金，任何东西也不能阻止她，除非她自己不愿意。他又一次跟她说：“心中有目标，风雨不折腰”。第二年，当她和她的球队去参加北加利福尼亚州冠军赛时，她被一位大学的招生人员看中了。她真的获得了奖学金，一个全面资助的奖学金，并且进入美国全国大学体育协会其中一队女子甲组篮球队。她将接受她曾梦想并为之奋斗多年的大学教育。是的，心中有目标，风雨不折腰。早读英语精华本基础篇-Lesson11You Are Wonderful 你太棒了The following true story captured our hearts.It happened several years ago in the Paris opera house.A famous singer had been cantracted to sing,and ticket sales were booming.In fact,the night of the concert found the house packed and every ticket sold.The feeling of anticipation and excitement was in the air as the house manager took the stage and said,Ladies and gentlemen ,thank you for your enthusiastic support.Im afraid that due to illness,the man whom youve all come to to hear will not be performing tonight.However,we have found a suitable substitude we hope will provide you with comparable entertainment.The crowd groaned in disappointment and failed to hear the announcer mention the stand-ins name .The environment turned from excitement to frustration.The stand-in performer gave the peiformance everything he had.

After they were seated, the mother spotted a friend in the audience and walked down the aisle to greet her.Seizing the opportunity to explore the wonders of the concert hall, the little boy rose and eventually explored his way through a door marked “NO ADMITTANCE.” When the house lights dimmed and the concert was about to begin, the mother returned to her seat and discovered that the child was missing.Suddenly, the curtains parted and spotlights focused on the impressive Steinway on stage. In horror, the mother sawher little boy sitting at the key- board, innocently picking out Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star.At that moment, the great piano master made his entrance, quickly moved to the piano, and whispered in the boys ear, “Dont quit. Keep playing.”Then leaning over, Paderewski reached down with his lefthand and began filling in a bass part. Soon his right arm reached around to the other side of the child and he added a running obbligato. Together, the old master and the young novice transformed a frightening situation into a wonderfully creative experience. The audience was mesmerized.Thats the way it is in life. What we can accomplish on our own is hardly noteworthy. We try our best, but the results arent exactly graceful flowing music. But when we trust in the hands of a Greater Power, our lifes work truly can be beautiful.Next time you set out to accomplish great feats, listen carefully. You can hear the voice of the Master, whispering in your ear, “Dont quit. Keep playing.”为了让儿子能在钢琴方面有长足的进步，一位母亲带着儿子去听帕德瑞夫斯基的音乐会。待她们坐定之后，那位母亲看到一位熟人，就穿过走道过去跟朋友打招呼。小男孩好不容易有机会欣赏音乐厅的宏伟，他站了起来，并慢慢地摸索到了一扇门旁边，上面写着“禁止入内”。大厅里的灯暗了下来，音乐会马上就要开始了。那位母亲回到座位，却发现自己的孩子不见了。这时候，幕布徐徐拉开，大厅里的聚光灯都集中到了舞台上的士坦威钢琴上。而让母亲吃惊的是，她的儿子竟然坐在钢琴面前，自顾自地弹着闪烁，闪烁，小星星。这时候，著名的钢琴大师走上台，并且迅速地走到钢琴旁边，并在男孩的耳边轻声说道：“孩子，别停下，继续弹。”帕德瑞夫斯基俯下身去，用左手在键盘上弹奏低音部分。然后，他的右手绕过男孩的身后，弹奏出优美的伴奏。这位年长的钢琴大师和年幼的初学者一起，将原本紧张的气氛变成了一种全新的体验。全场的观众都听得入迷了。其实，生活也是如此。我们所取得的成就不一定要多么显著。我们尽力了，结果却不一定能演奏出优美流畅的音乐。但是，如果我们相信大师的力量，我们的生活就会变的非常美丽。当你准备伟大作品的时候，仔细地侧耳倾听，你会听到大师的声音，在你耳边轻声说道：“别停下，继续弹！”早读英语精华本基础篇-Lesson13无早读英语精华本基础篇-Lesson14L
