錢錢更寶貴。

第十一天：HOW TO SPEND SUNDAYS 如何消度星期日

Some of us always spend Sundays aimlessly. We can seldom derive profits from the valuable hours (time) of Sundays. This is indeed a great pity. Though Sundays are set aside as a day for rest, we must make good use of them.

We know that our school lessons are usually not sufficient. We should often utilize Sundays to

read reference books. In this way we will increase our knowledge. Besides, we must be engaged in sports or outing so as to strengthen our bodies.

我們?cè)S多人終是把星期日毫無目的地消度掉。這確實(shí)是十分可惜。我們很少能從星期日的寶貴時(shí)光中獲得益處。雖然星期日是被指定為一個(gè)休息的日子，但是我們卻應(yīng)好好利用它。 我們知道我們學(xué)校的功課通常是不夠的。我們應(yīng)時(shí)常利用星期日來閱讀參考書。如此我們的知識(shí)就會(huì)增加了。此外，我們必須從事運(yùn)動(dòng)或郊游以便強(qiáng)壯我們的身體。

第十二天：HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY 誠為上策

There is an English proverb which says (saying) ―Honesty is the best policy.‖ It signifies the importance of honesty.

What are the benefits of honesty? If you are honest to others, they will be honest to you in return. When you are sad, they will comfort you. When you are in trouble, they will help you.

There is no enumerating the evils of dishonesty here. In a word, a dishonest man will be looked down upon by others and (be) regarded as a public enemy.

英國有一句諺語說“誠為上策”。它說明了誠的重要性。

誠的益處是什么？如果你對(duì)他人誠實(shí)，他們也會(huì)對(duì)你誠實(shí)作為報(bào)答。當(dāng)你憂悉的時(shí)候，他們會(huì)安慰你。當(dāng)你是處在困難中的時(shí)候，他們會(huì)幫助你。

無法在這里數(shù)述不誠實(shí)的害處。一言以蔽之，一個(gè)不誠實(shí)的人會(huì)被人看輕的而且被看作為一個(gè)公敵。

第十三天：HOW EXERCISE HELPS 運(yùn)動(dòng)的利益

If our bodies are not strong, our spirit to do things will certainly be quite dull. And at the same time, we are lack of energy (ies) to study. Diseases will only attack the weak, but not the strong. Why are our bodies not strong? Because we do not pay attention to exercise. For this reason, we students must often take different kinds (sorts) of exercise in the gym.

Exercise helps us (to) strengthen our bodies and avoid disease. It also teaches us cooperation, for most exercise is played by team.

如果我們的身體不強(qiáng)壯，我們做事的精神一定會(huì)十分遲鈍。而且同時(shí)，我們也缺少足夠的精力來讀書。疾病只為侵擊體弱的人而不是強(qiáng)壯的人。

為什么我們的身體會(huì)不強(qiáng)壯呢？因?yàn)槲覀儾蛔⒁膺\(yùn)動(dòng)。基于此種理由，我們學(xué)生必須時(shí)常在運(yùn)動(dòng)場做不同種類的運(yùn)動(dòng)。

運(yùn)動(dòng)幫助我們強(qiáng)壯身體并避免疾病。它也教我們合作，因?yàn)榇蠖鄶?shù)的運(yùn)動(dòng)都是團(tuán)體游玩的。

第十四天：THE BENEFITS OF TRAVELING 旅行的益處

I am always interested in traveling. My reasons are quite (extremely) simple and clear. If anybody is not satisfied with my viewpoint(s), I shall be greatly surprised at his ways of thinking.

In the first place, traveling increases our knowledge. Only by traveling can we see （因?yàn)橛茫╫nly）開頭，主動(dòng)詞須顛倒）things outside our home town.

In the second place, traveling is good to our health. While we are traveling, we usually exercise our bodies.

In conclusion, I

earnestly hope that everybody must seize (grasp at) the opportunity of traveling. 我對(duì)旅行終是感覺有趣。我的理由非常簡單時(shí)了。如果任何人對(duì)我的觀點(diǎn)不滿意的話，我將對(duì)他的想法會(huì)大大吃驚。

旅行增加我們的知識(shí)。只有藉旅行我們可以看到我們故鄉(xiāng)以外的東西。

旅行對(duì)我們的健康有益。當(dāng)我們旅行的時(shí)候，我們通常運(yùn)動(dòng)我們的身體。

第十五天：HOW TO BE A GOOD CITIZEN 如何做一個(gè)好公民

My aim is to become a good citizen so as to be able to render service to the (my) country. However, to become a good citizen is not an easy thing. He has many duties to fulfill.

The first duty of a good citizen is to love his country. He is to (must) be ready to sacrifice even his own life for the country.

His second duty is to obey the law and help the government (to) maintain order. If everybody can do so, the country will be rich and strong(powerful).

我的志向是做一個(gè)好公民以便能給國家效力。然而，做一個(gè)好公民不是一件容易的事情。他有許多責(zé)任要盡。

一個(gè)好公民第一件責(zé)任是愛他的國家。他須準(zhǔn)備為國家犧牲自己的生命。

他第二件責(zé)任是服從法律并且?guī)椭�政府維持治安。如果人人都能這樣做的話，國家必定富強(qiáng)。

第十六天：THE NATIONAL FLAG 國旗

it is the duty of every citizen to honor the national flag. Why? Because the national flag is the symbol of a (the) country. To respect it means to respect the country. In other words, if a man loves his country, he must love the national flag.

In school, the national flag is usually raised at a certain time every day. Then the principal, teachers, staff and students are to (must) stand before it and sing the national anthem. It is indeed extremely meaningful to attend such a ceremony.

尊敬國旗是每個(gè)公民的責(zé)任（義務(wù)）。為什么？因?yàn)閲�旗是國家的象征。尊敬它意思就是尊敬國家。換句話說，如果一個(gè)人愛國，他必須愛國旗。

在學(xué)校里，通常每天定時(shí)要升旗。那時(shí)，校長，老師，教職員學(xué)生教師將恭敬地站在它前面并且唱國歌。參加此項(xiàng)儀式確實(shí)非常有意義。

第十七天：THE IMPORTANCE OF EDUCATION 教育的重要性

It is impossible for us to make our country rich and strong without developing education. Why? Because education gives people knowledge and teaches them how to become good citizens so as to be able to serve their country. No wonder they say that education decides the progress, prosperity and civilization of a country.

At present (Nowadays) most countries in (of) the world are enforcing compulsory education. It is necessary for all kinds of people, both rich and poor, to receive education.Taiwanis an exception as well not.

我們不可能使我們的國家富強(qiáng)而不發(fā)展教育。為什么？因?yàn)榻逃�給予人民知識(shí)并教他們?nèi)绾纬蔀楹霉�民以便能為國家效力。難怪，有人說教育決定一個(gè)國家的進(jìn)步，繁榮與文化。 現(xiàn)在世界大多數(shù)的國家都在實(shí)施強(qiáng)迫教育。所有各類人民不論貧富都必須接受教育。臺(tái)灣也不例外。

第十八天：INDUSTRY (DILIGENCE) 勤勉

It is a matter of course that industry will bring us success, wealth and good luck. I am sure that a hard-working person can always succeed in the work which he wants to do. This is unchangeable truth.

Idleness is the opposite of industry. It is the source of all evil. An idle man only enjoys playing and

TO BE PATIENT 要忍耐

When someone disagrees with you or offends you, don’t lose your temper. Why? Because it is of no use to do so. You ought to (should) be patient and keep calm lest you should quarrel with him. You must know that patience is not cowardice, but a virtue. I hope that everybody practices it. In addition, patience will also bring us success. When you meet with difficulties in your work, it is no use losing heart. You must keep on fighting until (till) the final victory belongs to you.

Just do it

If you put off things for too long, they can easily become uncontrollable. The longer you wait to tackle a problem, the more difficult it becomes . Don’t waste time thinking about how difficult something is. Just take the advice in this passage.

Many people put off till tomorrow what they can do today. They always look for excuses to postpone doing something. In the end, it never gets done. If we leave things undone, we will eventually worry. This will cause unnecessary stress. Therefore, if you have this bad habit, it’s best to get rid of it and do things as soon as possible. 事情一旦被拖得太久就會(huì)變得難以控制。問題拖得越久，就越難以解決。所以，不要把時(shí)間浪費(fèi)在考慮某事到底有多難，從這篇短文接受忠告！

很多人把今天能做的事推到明日，他們總是找借口拖延做事。到頭來，事情總是沒做完。如果我們沒把事做完，我們心里會(huì)感到忐忑不安，從而造成不必要的壓力。因此，如果你有這種壞習(xí)慣的話，最好是將它克服，盡快把事情做好。

Music

Music is very relaxing. After a hard day of studying, it is fun to listen to all kinds of music at home. You can even play a musical instrument, or sing. Music relaxes you after working all day. Music can cheer you up when you are in a bad mood.

If you can play a musical instrument, you are lucky. If you can play the piano, you can spend hours alone and never be bored. If you play the guitar, you can invite your friends over to sing along. And if you play the violin, you can be in an orchestra.

You enjoy music throughout your life. There will be music in everything you hear: the roaring ocean, the whispering wind, and the warbling bird. You hear music wherever you may go.

【注釋】

① orchestra ['?:kistr?] n. 管弦樂隊(duì) ② warble ['w?:bl] vi. 鳥鳴

音樂

音樂讓人非常輕松。經(jīng)過一天勞累的學(xué)習(xí)，聽聽各種各樣的音樂是挺有趣的。你甚至還可以彈奏樂器或唱歌。忙碌一天后，音樂讓你輕松。當(dāng)你心情不好的時(shí)候，音樂可以使你精神振奮。

如果你會(huì)演奏一種樂器，那么你是幸運(yùn)的。要是你彈鋼琴的話，你就可以幾個(gè)小時(shí)獨(dú)處而從不會(huì)覺得無聊；如果你彈吉他，你可以邀請(qǐng)朋友過來一起唱歌；如果你拉小提琴，你可以加入管弦樂隊(duì)。

你一生都能享受到音樂。你聽到的所有一切都包含音樂——大海的咆哮、風(fēng)的低吟或是清脆的鳥鳴。無論你去哪里，你都能聽到音樂。

Key Factors to Success

No doubt, everyone wishes to be successful in life. But most success depends on three factors: diligence, devotion, and perseverance.

The first key factor is diligence. Diligence can help us remove ignorance and overcome difficulties. It can make a fool wise, and a poor man rich. If we idle away our time now, our future life will be a failure. If we are diligent now, we will surely be successful in the future.

Devotion, which means the concentration of our mind and effort in doing things, is another key factor to success. Whatever job we are doing, we must love it and do it heart and soul. Only when we set our minds on the job, can we do it well.

Furthermore, perseverance is also necessary for any success. If we study or work day after day, there is nothing that cannot be achieved. Without a strong will, on the other hand, we are likely to give up when we meet some difficulties.

To conclude, all great men achieve success through diligence, devotion and perseverance. Just as the famous English saying goes, “No pains, no gains.”

【注釋】diligence n. 努力，勤奮；devotion n. 熱愛，投入；perseverance n. 毅力；堅(jiān)持不懈；idle away 浪費(fèi)光陰，虛度光陰

成功的關(guān)鍵要素

毫無疑問，每個(gè)人都想在生活中有所成就。但大多數(shù)的成功都取決于三個(gè)關(guān)鍵要素：勤奮、投入和持之以恒。

第一個(gè)關(guān)鍵要素是勤奮。勤奮可以幫助我們擺脫無知，克服困難。勤奮可以使愚昧的人變得聰明，使貧窮的人變得富裕。如果我們現(xiàn)在虛度光陰，未來的人生就會(huì)失��；如果我們現(xiàn)在勤奮，將來一定會(huì)非常成功。

投入是成功的另一個(gè)關(guān)鍵要素，它意味著集中精力努力做事。我們應(yīng)該熱愛我們所做的任何工作，并全心全意做到最好。只有全身心地投入，才能把工作做好。

此外，持之以恒對(duì)任何成功而言都是必不可少的。如果我們每天都堅(jiān)持學(xué)習(xí)或工作，沒有什么是不可能的。另一方面，沒有堅(jiān)強(qiáng)的意志，我們遇到困難時(shí)極易放棄。

一句話，所有的偉人都是通過勤奮、投入和持之以恒而獲得成功的。正如那句有名的諺語所說：“不勞無獲”。
