Sometimes it was as long as a year, sometimes as short as 24 hours. But always we were interested in discovering just how the doomed hero chose to spend his last days or his last hours. Such stories set us thinking, wondering what we should do under similar circumstances. What events, what experiences, what associations should we crowd into those last hours as mortal beings, what regrets?Sometimes I have thought it would be an excellent rule to live each day as if we should die tomorrow. Such an attitude would emphasize sharply the values of life. We should live each day with gentleness, vigor and a keenness of appreciation which are often lost when time stretches before us in the constant panorama of more days and months and years to come. There are those, of course, who would adopt the Epicurean motto of “Eat, drink, and be merry”. But most people would be chastened by the certainty of impending death.Most of us, however, take life for granted. We know that one day we must die, but usually we picture that day as far in the future. When we are in buoyant health, death is all but unimaginable. We seldom think of it. The days stretch out in an endless vista. So we go about our petty tasks, hardly aware of our listless attitude toward life.Only the deaf appreciate hearing, only the blind realize the manifold blessings that lie in sight. Particularly does this observation apply to those who have lost sight and hearing in adult life. But those who have never suffered impairment of sight or hearing seldom make the fullest use of these blessed faculties. Their eyes and ears take in all sights and sounds hazily, without concentration and with little appreciation. It is the same old story of not being grateful for what we have until we lose it, of not being conscious of health until we are ill.假如给我三天光明(节选)我们都读过震撼人心的故事，故事中的主人公只能再活一段很有限的时光，有时长达一年，有时却短至一日。 但我们总是想要知道，注定将要离世的人会选择如何度过自己最后的时光。 这样的故事让我们思考，在类似的处境下，我们该做些什么？作为终有一死的人，在临终前的几个小时内我们应该做什么事、经历些什么或做哪些联想? 回忆往昔，什么使我们开心快乐? 什么又使我们悔恨不已? 有时我想，把每天都当作生命中的最后一天来过，也不失为一个极好的生活法则。这种态度会使人格外重视生命的价值。我们每天都应该以优雅的姿态、充沛的精力、抱着感恩之心来生活。但当时间以无休止的日、月和年在我们面前流逝时，我们却常常没有了这种感觉。 当然，也有人奉行犬儒主义的“吃喝玩乐”信条，但绝大多数人还是会感受到即将到来的死亡的压力。然而，我们中的大多数人都把生命看成是理所当然的。我们知道有一天我们必将面对死亡，但总认为那一天还在遥远的将来。当我们身强体健之时，死亡简直不可想象，我们很少考虑到它。日子多得好象没有尽头。因此我们一味忙于琐事，几乎意识不到我们对待生活的麻木态度。 只有聋子才理解听力的重要，只有盲人才明白视觉的可贵，这尤其适用于那些成年后才失去视力和听力的人，但是那些从未受过丧失视力或听力之苦的人很少充分利用这些宝贵的能力。他们的眼睛和耳朵模糊地感受着周围的景物与声音，心不在焉，也无所感激。这正如我们只有在失去后才懂得珍惜一样，我们只有在生病后才意识到健康的可贵。（三）So much to learnIt was the last day of final examinations in a large Eastern university. On the steps of one building, a group of engineering seniors huddled, discussing the exam due to begin in a few minutes. On their faces was confidence. This was their last examthen on to commencement and jobs.Some talked of jobs they already had; others of jobs they would get. With all this assurance of four years of college, they felt ready and able to conquer the world.The approaching exam, they knew, would be a snap. The professor had said they could bring any books or notes they wanted. Requesting only that they did not talk to each other during the test.Jubilantly they filed into the classroom. The professor passed out the papers. And smiles broadened as the students noted there were only five essaytype questions.Three hours passed. Then the professor began to collect the papers. The students no longer looked confident. On their faces was a frightened expression. No one spoke as, papers in hand, the professor faced the class.He surveyed the worried faces before him, then asked: “how many completed all five questions?”Not a hand was raised.“How many answered four?”Still no hands.“Three? Two?”The students shifted restlessly in their seats.“One, then? Certainly somebody finished one.”But the class remained silent. The professor put down the papers. “That is exactly what I expected,” he said.“I just want to impress upon you that, even though you have completed four years of engineering, there are still many things about the subject you dont know. These questions you could not answer are relatively common in everyday practice.” Then, smiling, he added: “You will all pass this course, but remembereven though you are now college graduates, your education has just begun.”The years have obscured the name of this professor, but not the lesson he taught.那是在一所东部大学期末考试的最后一天。一座教学楼的阶梯上，有一群工程系大四学生挤在一起讨论几分钟后将要开始的考试。他们脸上充满自信。这是他们最后一次考试了，接着就等毕业典礼，然后参加工作。这些学生中有的正在谈论刚刚找到的工作，也有的谈论将来会找什么样的工作。他们对四年的所学信心十足，感觉自己已经可以去一闯天下了。他们知道即将开始的考试将会是小菜一碟，因为此前这门课的教授说本次考试为开卷考试，只要愿意，什么书本笔记都可以带进考场。要求只有一点：考试期间不许交头接耳。学生们兴高采烈，陆续进入教室，教授把试卷发给他们。他们发现试卷上只有五道问答题，于是笑容更加灿烂了。三个小时过去了，教授开始收卷子。学生们先前的自信早已荡然无存。他们流露出担心的表情。教授拿着试卷看着学生们，没人说话。他扫视了一下大家苦恼的表情，然后问道：“有多少人答完了五道题?”没有一个人举手。“有多少人答完了四道题?”还是没有人举手。“三道题?两道题?”这时学生们在自己的座位上坐立不安了。“那么，有谁答上来一道题?一定有人做完了一道题。”但是学生们依然沉默。教授放下手中的卷子，说道：“这正是我所预计的。”“我只是想让你们铭记于心，即使你们已经完成了四年工程学的学习，这个学科仍然有很多你们不知道的东西。这些你们回答不出的问题在日常实践中却是司空见惯的。”接着他笑了笑，补充道：“你们都能通过这门课，但是要记住：即便你们现在已经是大学毕业生了，你们在这一行的学习才刚刚开始。”岁月的流逝已使我已记不清这位教授的名字，但是他所教授的这一课却依然历历在目。邹平双语学校中学部诵读材料 英英语组 课内(一）.How to learn English wellEnglish is important and useful to us. How can we learn it well? Here are my suggestions.First, we should often listen to the tapes, English songs and programs. Watching English movies is also helpful to us. Second, we should speak English in class as much as possible. Dont be afraid of making mistakes. The more you speak, the fewer mistakes youll make. Wed better join the English club and practice with others. Third, we can read more English newspapers and magazines. Its good for us. At last, we should recite some good passages and keep diaries.In a word, as long as we do more listening, speaking, reading and writing, we will learn English well.（二）Traffic safetyWith more and more cars coming into our families, we are happy that it has greatly improved our life. But unluckily, it has also brought many problems, such as heavy traffic and traffic accidents.Traffic safety is everybodys business. We must obey the rules. For example, we must walk on walk side, when we cross zebra crossing, stop and look right and left, then go across fast. Dont play football on the road .we can tell our parents not to drink before they drive, not to run through red lights, not to talk and laugh while driving etc.We can say cars are coming into our life, but only when everybody thinks traffic safety is everybodys business can we be safe driving on roads and walking on sidewalks.（三）How to protect our environment? / How to save the worldThe environmental pollution is worse and worse today. Water is polluted, and we have no clean water to drink. Many trees are cutting down, some animals are getting fewer and fewer. Some factories are pouring dirty air in the sky. The population is increasing faster and faster, and resources are getting less and lessetc. It not only affects our lives and health, it but also has a great affection in the future. Peoples health has been greatly affected by air, noise and water pollution. Many people died of diseases. In order to live a better life, we need protect our world.We shouldnt throw away rubbish everywhere. We want to recycle, reduce, reuse things .Dont waste things. This saves money and reduces pollution. Use things for as long as possible. We dont use plastic bags. We must plant more trees and stop the people from cutting them .We hope our world becomes more and more beautiful.（四） Feelings about graduation(毕业感想)How time flies and I will graduate from the school soon. During these three years, I put most of my effort into my studies. I have a good studying habit. As a result，I get good grades on all the subjects. I am the best student in my class. I am always ready to help others when they are weak in their studies. I often explain prolems to them. When I help them, I also improve m
