But the Nightingale understood the secret of the Student's sorrow, and she sat silent in the oak-tree, and thought about the mystery of Love.
Suddenly she spread her brown wings for flight, and soared into the air.
She passed through the grove like a shadow, and like a shadow she sailed across the garden.
In the centre of the grass-plot was standing a beautiful Rose-tree, and when she saw it she flew over to it, and lit upon a spray.
"Give me a red rose," she cried, "and I will sing you my sweetest song."
But the Tree shook its head.
"My roses are white," it answered; "as white as the foam of the sea,and whiter than the snow upon the mountain. But go to my brother who grows round the old sun-dial, and perhaps he will give you what you want."

It is monly believed in the United States that school is where people go to get an education. Nevertheless, it has been said that today children interrupt their education to go to school. The distinction beeen schooling and education implied by this remark is important. Education is much more open-ended and all-inclusive than schooling. Education knows no bounds. It can take place anywhere, whether in the shower or in the job, whether in a kitchen or on a tractor. It includes both the formal learning that takes place in schools and the whole universe of informal learning. The agents of education can range from a revered grandparent to the people debating politics on the radio, from a child to a distinguished scientist.Whereas schooling has a certain predictability, education quite often produces surprises. A chance conversation with a stranger may lead a person to discover how little is known of other religions. People are engaged in education from infancy on. Education, then, is a very broad, inclusive term. It is a lifelong process, a process that starts long before the start of school, and one that should be an integral part of one's entire life. The ups and downs of life may seem to have no predictable plan. But scientists know there are very definite patterns that almost all people share. Even if you've passed some of your "prime", you still have other prime years to experience in the future. Certain important primes seem to peak later in life. When are you *** artest? From 18-25, according to I.Q. scores; but you're wiser and more experienced with increasing age.You're sharpest in your 20's; around 30, memory begins to decline, particularly your ability to perform mathematical putations. But your I.Q. for other tasks climbs. Your vocabulary at age 45, for example, is three times as great as when you graduated from college. At 60, your brain possesses almost four times as much information as it did at age 21.This trade-off beeen sharpness and wisdom has led psychologists to suggest that "maturity quotients"(M.Q.) be adopted for *** s.When are you happiest? You have the best physical sense of yourself from 15 to 24; the best professional sense from 40 to 49. Before age 24, we believe that our happiest years are yet to e; over 30,we believe that they're behind us. A National Health Survey agrees: After age 30, we "bee more realistic and do not view happiness as a goal in itself. If we maintain our health, achieve professional and emotional goals, then happiness, we feel, will follow".When are you most creative? Generally beeen 30 and 39, but the peak varies with different professions.Mozart wrote a symphony and four sonatas by age eight, and Mendelssohn posed his best known work A Midsummer Night's Dream, at 17, but most of the great music was written by men beeen 33 and 39. Though the peak in most fields es early-most Nobel prizewinners did their top research in their late 20's and 30's-creative people continue to produce quality work throughout their lives. For the "well-conditioned mind", there is no upper limit.

外国文学名著简爱英文读后感 Oliver Twist, one of the most famous works of Charles Dickens’, is a novel reflecting the tragic fact of the life in Britain in 18th century. The author who himself was born in a poor family wrote this novel in his enties with a view to reveal the ugly masks of those cruel criminals and to expose the horror and violence hidden underneath the narrow and dirty streets in London. The hero of this novel was Oliver Twist, an orphan, who was thrown into a world full of poverty and crime. He suffered enormous pain, such as hunger, thirst, beating and abuse. While reading the tragic experiences of the little Oliver, I was shocked by his sufferings. I felt for the poor boy, but at the same time I detested the evil Fagin and the brutal Bill. To my relief, as was written in all the best stories, the goodness eventually conquered devil and Oliver lived a happy life in the end. One of the plots that attracted me most is that after the theft, little Oliver was allowed to recover in the kind care of Mrs. Maylie and Rose and began a new life. He went for walks with them, or Rose read to him, and he worked hard at his lessons. He felt as if he had left behind forever the world of crime and hardship and poverty. How can such a little boy who had already suffered oppressive affliction remain pure in body and mind? The reason is the nature of goodness. I think it is the most important information implied in the novel by Dickens-he believed that goodness could conquer every difficulty. Although I don’t think goodness is omnipotent, yet I do believe that those who are kind-hearted live more happily than those who are evil-minded. For me, the nature of goodness is one of the most necessary character for a person. Goodness is to humans what water is to fish. He who is without goodness is an utterly worthless person. On the contrary, as the famous saying goes, ‘The fragrance always stays in the hand that gives the rose’, he who is with goodness undoubtedly is a happy and useful person. People receiving his help are grateful to him and he also gets gratified from what he has done, and thus he can do good to both the people he has helped and himself. To my disappointment, nowadays some people seem to doubt the existence of the goodness in humanity. They look down on people’s honesty and kindness, thinking it foolish of people to be warm-hearted. As a result, they show no sympathy to those who are in trouble and seldom offer to help others. On the other hand, they attach importance to money and benefit. In their opinion, money is the only real object while emotions and morality are nihility. If they cannot get profit from showing their ‘kindness’, they draw back when others are faced with trouble and even hit a man when he is down. They are one of the sorts that I really detest. Francis Bacon said in his essay, ‘Goodness, of all virtues and dignities of the mind, is the greatest, being the character of the Deity, and without it, man is a busy, mischievous, wretched thing, no better than a kind of vermin.’ That is to say a person without goodness is destined to lose everything. Therefore, I, a kind person, want to tell those ‘vermin-to-be’ to learn from the kind Oliver and regain the nature of goodness. 《傲慢与偏见》英文读后感 then man treat GREat event in one's life with punishing, Demonstrate different attitudes to the love question of the marriage of young girl of the family origin of middle class of villages and towns, Thus reflected authors oneself's marriage view: It is wrong to get married for the property, money and position; Get married and does not consider that above-mentioned factors are unwise too .

Perhaps different people have different views on happiness.Some people think that material satisfaction would bring happiness.But in fact they overlooked the fact that true happiness es from the realization of your career/cause you persue which contributes the success of others as well as your own. Some peopole try every means to make money at the expense of others' interest . These people harm others to benefit themselves,They think the greater sum of money they make, the happier they will be. On the contrary, some people think that spiritual satisfaction is the greatest happiness.They do everything for the people.

The point is what you can do,but not how people look on you.It is how much you contribute ,not how much you gain,I think this is the true meaing of life that everyone of us should have.“熟能生巧”意思是指一个人经常做某一件事，他就能非常熟练地做它。

在做某一项工作时，有过大量实践的人要比没有大量实践的人做得又快又好。就以学英语为例吧。

我们学英语时，必须学习语法、单词和短语，要理解和记住这些规则对我们来说并不难。但当我们用这些单词和规则说或写时，就发现很难用英语流利而正确地表达。

相反，不断练习英语听说读写的人能用英语随意交谈。再举一个例子，一个熟练的司机能边开车边与他人交谈。

学英语和开车都需要大量实践来掌握技能。显然，实践是很重要的。

若想提高你的学习和工作，就该记住良好的开端是成功的一半，行动比语言响亮，实践要有热情和兴趣，实践要有恒心和耐心，实践要有积极他度和自信心。最后同样重要的是，熟能生巧，熟能创造奇迹。

幸福是什么？也许不同的人对幸福有着不同的看法。有人认为物质上的满足将带给人幸福，但实际上，他们忽略了这样一个事实：真正的幸福是所追求事业的实现，这种事业不仅有利于自己而且也有利于他人。

有些人想尽各种办法去谋取他人的利益，损人利己。在他们看来，赚的钱越多，就越幸福。

相反，有些人认为精神上的满足才是最幸福的。他们为人民做各种事情，为人民而活、而工作，甚至为人民贡献自己的生命。

在我看来，一个人的价值体现在为人民、为国家和为整个社会的服务之中。我相信那些为国家做贡献的人，无论他们的贡献是大是小，都会是最幸福的人，他们会得到人们的承认和敬佩。

人生的价值是你做了些什么，而不是人们怎么看待你，是你贡献了多少，而不是你得到了多少。我认为这才是我们每个人应该具备的生命的真正意义。

Parents differ from children in their career choice.Who should be responsible for planning children's career?As for this question,parents think that they know their children well enough to decide what kind of job suits the children,They are afraid that their children are too young to make a choice.However,many children will argue that they should be left free to make their own choices for their future.The other aspect of career choice is that parents and their children are too often different in their opinions of the ideal profession.Parents would prefer their children to choose some professions that are stable and could bring prestige and economic benefits.But some children would rather choose professions that are challenging and require independent and creative thinking.这可是我辛辛苦苦打上去的呀.。
