1. Feeling in Snow
As soon as I walked outside, I was greeted with the shimmering white blanket of cold. Despite the chill overwhelming my skin, inside I was warm. I felt as though I could be giving off heat; I had the desire to stay out in this freeze for hours. It was the type of day that speaks to you through its elements; I took a deep breath to hear more snow was coming.
As I walked I looked up, trying to realize what made this day so beautiful, so serene. It was as if time had been put temporarily on hold and I along with it. Or maybe I was the only one unpaused…Either way, the solitude was comforting, and I sensed myself floating away. I sat down on the edge of a curb and listened. All there was to hear was the wind rushing over the top of my head and circling some old, cracking leaves some yards away. To me it was the reassuring sound of nature, trying not to be forgotten.
It did start to snow. None of those little flurries, but big, fat flakes which clung immediately to their surface.
Then it was time to go and my reverie had to end. As I began walking again, I drifted back into this time frame, calm and cleared.
Now if only I could remember where I was going.
中文：雪天隨想
剛出門，便撲面而來一大片晶瑩雪白的冰涼。冷氣襲來，肌膚陣陣戰栗，而內心卻溫暖如初。覺得自己似乎能發熱，因而渴望在這寒冷中長時間駐足。這是一個大自然與你交流的日子。我深深地吸了一口氣，靜聽雪花飄落，源源不絕。
漫步雪中，舉目四顧，我努力思索是什麼竟然能夠把這一天變得如此美麗和寧靜。那一刻，時間彷彿靜止了，而我也定在其中。或者，只有我一個人在前行……
無論如何，這種孤寂卻令人欣慰。我彷彿脫離了塵世。坐在路邊，仔細聆聽。只有風從頭頂掠過，捲走幾碼遠的乾枯樹葉。在我心中，這是大自然給人安慰、令人難忘的聲音。
真的下雪了！不是零星小雪，而是鵝毛大雪，一落地就凝結在一起了。
該結束沉思離開了！我舉步前行時，思緒又轉回到現實中來，而此時感覺如此平靜，如此清新。
我實在記不得我要往何處去了！
2.生活的樂趣
Joy in living comes from having fine emotions, trusting them, giving them the freedom of a bird in the open. Joy in living can never be assumed as a pose, or put on from the outside as a mask. People who have this joy don not need to talk about it; they radiate it. They just live out their joy and let it splash its sunlight and glow into other lives as naturally as bird sings.
We can never get it by working for it directly. It comes, like happiness, to those who are aiming at something higher. It is a byproct of great, simple living. The joy of living comes from what we put into living, not from what we seek to get from it.
中文翻譯：
生活之樂趣來源於良好的情緒，信賴這些情緒，並任由它們如同鳥兒高翔於天空般地自由自在。生活的樂趣是無法靠姿態擺出來的，也無法用戴上一張面具來偽裝。 擁有這種樂趣的人們無需掛在嘴邊，他們自然會煥發出快樂的氣息。他們自己生活在快樂當中，也將這樣的快樂自然而然地感染著他人，猶如是鳥兒就必將歌唱。
直接追求生活的樂趣卻只會使樂趣遠離我們，它與幸福一樣青睞胸有大志的人們。生活過得高雅、簡單便會產生出樂趣。它是我們對生活的投入，而非所求。 3.我命運，我把握（不斷超越自己）
正如世界上沒有兩片相同的葉子，我們每個人都是獨一無二的。相信自己，命運就掌握在我們的手中。
Consider… YOU. In all time before now and in all time to come, there has never been and will never be anyone just like you. You are unique in the entire history and future of the universe. Wow! Stop and think about that. You're better than one in a million, or a billion, or a gazillion…
You are the only one like you in a sea of infinity!
You're amazing! You're awesome! And by the way, TAG, you're it. As amazing and awesome as you already are, you can be even more so. Beautiful young people are the whimsey of nature, but beautiful old people are true works of art. But you don't become "beautiful" just by virtue of the aging process.
Real beauty comes from learning, growing, and loving in the ways of life. That is the Art of Life. You can learn slowly, and sometimes painfully, by just waiting for life to happen to you. Or you can choose to accelerate your growth and intentionally devour life and all it offers. You are the artist that paints your future with the brush of today.
Paint a Masterpiece.
God gives every bird its food, but he doesn't throw it into its nest. Wherever you want to go, whatever you want to do, it's truly up to you.
試想一下……你！一個空前絕後的你，不論是以往還是將來都不會有一個跟你一模一樣的人。你在歷史上和宇宙中都是獨一無二的。哇！想想吧，你是萬里挑一、億里挑一、兆里挑一的。
在無窮無盡的宇宙中，你是舉世無雙的。
你是了不起的！你是卓越的！沒錯，就是你。你已經是了不起的，是卓越的，你還可以更卓越更了不起。美麗的年輕人是大自然的奇想，而美麗的老人卻是藝術的傑作。但你不會因為年齡的漸長就自然而然地變得「美麗」。
真正的美麗源於生命里的學習、成長和熱愛。這就是生命的藝術。你可以只聽天由命, 慢慢地學，有時候或許會很痛苦。又或許你可以選擇加速自己的成長，故意地揮霍生活及其提供的一切。你就是手握今日之刷描繪自己未來的藝術家。
畫出一幅傑作吧。
上帝給了鳥兒食物，但他沒有將食物扔到它們的巢里。不管你想要去哪裡，不管你想要做什麼，真正做決定的還是你自己。
4. 掌握未來：我們正在起跑點
"We are reading the first verse of the first chapter of a book whose pages are infinite---"
I do not know who wrote those words, but I have always liked them as a reminder that the future can be anything we want to make it. We can take the mysterious, hazy future and carve out of it anything that we can imagine, just like a sculptor carves a statue from a shapeless stone.
We are all in the position of the farmer. If we plant a good seed, we reap a good harvest. If our seed is poor and full of weeds, we reap a useless crop. If we plant nothing at all, we harvest nothing at all.
I want the future to be better than the past. I don't want it contaminated by the mistakes and errors with which history is filled. We should all be concerned about the future because that is where we will spend the reminder of our lives.
The past is gone and static. Nothing we can do will change it. The future is before us and dynamic. Everything we do will effect it. Each day will brings with it new frontiers, in our homes and in our businesses, if we will only recognize them. We are just at the beginning of the progress in every field of human endeavor.
中文：
「我們正在閱讀一本頁數無限的書的第一章的第一節……」
我不知道這段文字是誰寫的，我一直很喜歡並用它們來提醒自己，那就是未來操之在我。我們可以掌握神秘而不可知的未來，從中創出我們所能想像的任何東西，一如雕刻家可以將未成型的石頭刻出雕像一樣。
我們每個人都是農夫。我們若種下好種子，就會有豐收。倘若種子長得不良且長滿雜草，我們就會徒勞無獲。如果我們什麼也不種，就根本不會有什麼收獲。
我希望未來會比過去更好。我不希望未來會被那些充斥在歷史中的錯誤所污染。我們應關心未來，因為往後的餘生都要在未來中度過。
往昔已一去不復返而且是靜止的。任憑我們怎麼努力都不能改變過去。未來就在我們眼前而且是動態的。 我們的所作所為都會影響未來。只要我們體會的出來，每天都可以發現新的知識領域伴隨而生，可能是在家裡，也可能是在我們的事業中。我們正處在人類所努力鑽研的每個領域中進步的起點。

A Boy and His Tree
A long time ago, there was a huge apple tree. A little boy loved to come and play around it every day. He climbed to the tree top, ate the apples, took a nap under the shadow… He loved the tree and the tree loved to play with him.
Time went by…The little boy had grown up and he no longer played around the tree.
One day, the boy came back to the tree and looked sad. 「 and play with me,」 the tree asked the boy.
「I am no longer a kid, I don』t play around trees anymore.」 The boy replied, 「I want toys. I need money to buy them.」 「Sorry, but I don』t have money…but you can pick all my apples and sell them. So, you will have money.」 The boy was so excited. He picked all the apples on the tree and left happily. The boy didn』t come back after he picked the apples. The tree was sad.
One day, the boy returned and the tree was so excited. 「Come and play with me.」 The tree said. 「I don』t have time to play. I have to work for my family. We need a house for shelter. Can you help me?」 「Sorry, but I don』t have a house. But you can cut off my branches to build your house.」 So the boy cut all the branches of the tree and left happily.
The tree was glad to see him happy but the boy didn』t appear since then. The tree was again lonely and sad. One hot summer day, the boy returned and the tree was delighted. 「Come and play with me!」 the tree said.
「I am sad and getting old. I want to go sailing to relax myself. Can you give me a boat?」 「Use my trunk to build the boat. You can sail and be happy.」 So the boy cut the tree trunk to make a boat. He went sailing and did not show up for a long time.
Finally, the boy returned after he left for so many years. 「Sorry, my boy. But I don』t have anything for you anymore. No more apples for you.」 the tree said. 「 I don』t have teeth to bite.」 The boy replied. 「 No more trunk for you to climb on.」 「I am too old for that now.」 the boy said. 「I really want to give you something…the only thing left is my dying roots.」 The tree said with tears. 「I don』t need much now, just a place to rest. I am tired after all these years.」 The boy replied. 「Good! Old tree roots are the best place to lean on and rest. Come here, please sit down with me and have a rest.」 The boy sat down and the tree was glad and smiled with tears…
This is a story of everyone. The tree is our parent. When we were young, we loved to play with Mom and Dad… When we grow up, we leave them, and only come to them when we need something or when we are in trouble. No matter what, parents will always be there and give everything they could to make you happy. You may think that the boy is cruel to the tree but that's how all of us are treating our parents.
⑶ 英語哲理小短文
Tucked away in our subconscious is an idyllic vision. We see ourselves on a long trip that spans the continent. We are traveling by train. Out the windows, we drink in the passing scene of cars on nearby highways, of children waving at a crossing, of cattle grazing on a distant hillside, of smoke pouring from a power plant, of row upon row of corn and wheat, of flatlands and valleys, of mountains and rolling hillsides, of city skylines and village halls.
我們的潛意識里藏著一派田園詩般的風光。我們彷彿身處一次橫貫大陸的漫漫旅程之中。 乘著火車，我們領略著窗外流動的景色：附近高速公路上賓士的汽車、十字路口處招手的孩童、遠山上吃草的牛群、源源不斷地從電廠排放出的煙塵、一片片的玉米和小麥、平原與山谷、群山與綿延的丘陵、天空映襯下城市的輪廓，以及鄉間的庄園宅第。
But uppermost in our minds is the final destination. On a certain day at a certain hour, we will pull into the station. Bands will be playing and flags waving. Once we get there, so many wonderful dreams will come true and the pieces of our lives will fit together like a completed jigsaw puzzle. How restlessly we pace the aisles, damning the minutes for loitering --waiting, waiting, waiting for the station.
然而我們心裡想得最多的卻是最終的目的地。 在某一天的某一時刻, 我們將會抵達進站。 迎接我們的將是樂隊和飄舞的彩旗。一旦到了那兒, 多少美夢將成為現實, 我們的生活也將變得完整, 如同一塊理好了的拼圖。可是我們現在在過道里不耐煩地踱來踱去, 咒罵火車的拖拖拉拉。 我們期待著, 期待著, 期待著火車進站的那一刻。
"When we reach the station, that will be it! "we cry. "When I'm 18. ""When I buy a new 450SL Mercedes Benz! ""When I put the last kid through college. ""When I have paid off the mortgage!""When I get a promotion.""When I reach the age of retirement, I shall live happily ever after! "
可是我們終究會認識到人生的旅途中並沒有車站, 也沒有能夠"一到永逸"的地方。生活的真正樂趣在於旅行的過程, 而車站不過是個夢, 它始終遙遙領先於我們。
Sooner or later, we must realize there is no station, no one place to arrive at once and for all. The true joy of life is the trip. The station is only a dream. It constantly outdistances us.
可是我們終究會認識到人生的旅途中並沒有車站, 也沒有能夠"一到永逸"的地方。生活的真正樂趣在於旅行的過程, 而車站不過是個夢, 它始終遙遙領先於我們。
"Relish the moment " is a good motto, especially when coupled with Psalm 118：24："This is the day which the Lord hath made；we will rejoice and be glad in it. " It isn't the burdens of today that drive men mad. It is the regrets over yesterday and the fear of tomorrow. Regret and fear are twin thieves who rob us of today.
"享受現在"是句很好的箴言, 尤其是當它與《聖經·詩篇》中第118頁24行的一段話相映襯的時候, 更是如此："今日乃主所創造；生活在今日我們將歡欣、高興。 "真正令人發瘋的不是今日的負擔, 而是對昨日的悔恨及對明日的恐懼。 悔恨與恐懼是一對孿生竊賊, 將今天從你我身邊偷走。
So stop pacing the aisles and counting the miles. In stead, climb more mountains, eat more ice cream, go barefoot more often, swim more rivers, watch more sunsets, laugh more, cry less. Life must be lived as we go along. The station will come soon enough.
那麼就不要在過道里徘徊吧, 別老惦記著你離車站還有多遠。 何不換一種活法, 將更多的高山攀爬, 多吃點兒冰淇淋甜甜嘴巴, 經常光著腳板兒溜達溜達, 在更多的河流里暢游, 多看看夕陽西下, 多點歡笑哈哈, 少讓淚水滴答。生活得一邊過一邊瞧。車站就會很快到達。

A Sunday school teacher was telling her pupils the importance of making others glad. "Now, children," said she , "has anyone of you ever make someone else glad?"
"Please, teacher,"said a small boy,"I've make someone glad yesterday."
"Well done. Who was that?"
"My granny."
"Good boy. Now tell us how you made your grandmother glad."
"Please, teacher, I went to see her yesterday, and stayed with her three hours. Then I said to her, 'Granny, I'm going home,' and she said, 'Well, I'm glad'!"

英文原稿及翻譯：
There was a rich merchant who had 4 wives. He loved the 4th wife the most and adorned her with rich robes and treated her to delicacies. He took great care of her and gave her nothing but the best.
從前，一位富有的商人娶了四個老婆。他最愛他的小老婆，給她華麗的衣裳和美味佳餚。他對她體貼入微，把最好的東西都給了她。
He also loved the 3rd wife very much. He』s very proud of her and always wanted to show off her to his friends. However, the merchant is always in great fear that she might run away with some other men.
商人也很愛第三位老婆。他為她感到驕傲，並常把她作為在朋友面前炫耀的資本。但他同時也憂心忡忡，怕她與其他男人跑了。
He too, loved his 2nd wife. She is a very considerate person, always patient and in fact is the merchant』s confidante. Whenever the merchant faced some problems, he always turned to his 2nd wife and she would always help him out and tide him through difficult times.
當然，商人也愛二老婆，她既善解人意又耐心。事實上，她是商人的紅顏知己。每每遇到困難，他就會找她，而她也總能幫助他走出困境，度過難關。
Now, the merchant』s 1st wife is a very loyal partner and has made great contributions in maintaining his wealth and business as well as taking care of the household. However, the merchant did not love the first wife and although she loved him deeply, he hardly took notice of her.
至於大老婆，她是一位忠誠的伴侶，替他照料生意、打理家務，忙裡忙外，可謂勞苦功高。然而，盡管她愛得這么深，商人卻偏不鍾情於她，甚至沒把她放在心上。
One day, the merchant fell ill. Before long, he knew that he was going to die soon. He thought of his luxurious life and told himself, 「Now I have 4 wives with me. But when I die, I』ll be alone. How lonely I』ll be!」
一日，商人得了重病，他自知將不久於人世。當他回顧自己奢華的一生，不禁心中悵然：「現在我雖然有四個老婆相伴，但死後卻要孤零零一人。多寂寞啊！」
Thus, he asked the 4th wife, 「I loved you most, and owed you with the finest clothing and showered great care over you. Now that I』m dying, will you follow me and keep me company?」 「No way!」 replied the 4th wife and she walked away without another word.
於是，他問小老婆：「我最疼你，給你買最漂亮的衣服，還對你呵護備至。現在我就要離開這個世界了，你願意隨我而去，與我相伴嗎？」「絕不可能！」她丟下一句話，徑自走開了。
The answer cut like a sharp knife right into the merchant』s heart. The sad merchant then asked the 3rd wife, 「I have loved you so much for all my life. Now that I』m dying, will you follow me and keep me company?」 「No!」 replied the 3rd wife. 「Life is so good over here! I』m going to remarry when you die!」 The merchant』s heart sank and turned cold.
小老婆的回答如一把尖刀插在商人心上。傷心的商人繼而問第三個老婆：「我一直對你寵愛有加。如今，我將不久於人世，你願意隨我而去，與我相伴嗎？」「不！」她拒絕道，「人間的生活多麼美好啊！你死後我會改嫁他人！」商人的心倏地下沉，漸漸變冷。
He then asked the 2nd wife, 「I always turned to you for help and you』ve always helped me out. Now I need your help again. When I die, will you follow me and keep me company?」 「I』m sorry, I can』t help you out this time!」 replied the 2nd wife. 「At the very most, I can only send you to your grave.」 The answer came like a bolt of thunder and the merchant was devastated.
他再轉向二老婆，問道：「我過去常常求助於你，你也總能為我排憂解難。現在我想再請你幫一次忙。我死後，你願意隨我而去，與我相伴嗎？」「很抱歉，這一次我幫不了你，」她說，「我最多隻能讓你入土為安。」這句話猶如晴天霹靂，商人徹底絕望了。
Then a voice called out: 「I』ll leave with you. I』ll follow you no matter where you go.」 The merchant looked up and there was his first wife. She was so skinny, almost like she suffered from malnutrition. Greatly grieved, the merchant said, 「I should have taken much better care of you while I could have!」
這時，旁邊傳來一個聲音：「我願意隨你一同離去。無論你到哪裡，我都會跟著你。」商人抬起頭，看到了自己的大老婆。她是那麼消瘦，一副營養不良的樣子。商人悲痛萬分，他說：「我過去就應該好好地珍惜你啊！」
Actually, we all have 4 wives in our lives
其實，我們每個人的一生都有四位愛人相伴。
The 4th wife is our body. No matter how much time and effort we lavish in making it look good, it』ll leave us when we die.
小老婆代表我們的軀體。無論我們花費多少的時間和精力想去裝扮她，我們死後它終會棄我們而去。
Our 3rd wife is our possessions, status and wealth. When we die, they all go to others.
第三位老婆代表財產、地位與金錢。一旦我們撒手西去，它終究會轉向他人。
The 2nd wife is our family and friends. No matter how close they had been there for us when we』re alive, the furthest they can stay by us is up to the grave.
二老婆則代表了我們的家人與朋友。我們活著的時候，無論他們與我們多麼親近，他們最多也只能到墓前送我們最後一程。
The 1st wife is in fact our soul, often neglected in our pursuit of material, wealth and sensual pleasure.
至於大老婆，她則是我們的靈魂。當我們沉迷於追求物質、金錢或感官享受的時候，她常常會被遺忘在一旁。
Guess what? It is actually the only thing that follows us wherever we go. Perhaps it』s a good idea to cultivate and strengthen it now rather than to wait until we』re on our deathbed to lament.
結果呢？她才是唯一與我們永遠相伴的。也許從現在開始，我們就應該悉心照顧好她，而不是等到臨終之際才悔恨不已

【1】Things Aren』 Always What They Seem
Two traveling angles stopped to spend the night in the home of a wealthy family. The family was rude and refused to let the angles stay in the mansion』s guestroom. Instead the angles were given a small space in the cold basement. As they made their bed in the hard floor, the older angel saw a hole in the wall and repaired it. When the younger angle asked why, the older angle replied, 「Things aren』t always what they seem.」
The next night the pair came to rest at the house of a very poor, but very hospitable farmer and his wife. After sharing the little food they had the couple let the angles sleep in their bed where they could have a good night』s rest. When the sun came up the next morning the angles found the farmer and his in tears. Their only cow, whose milk had been their sole income, lay dead in the field. The younger angle was infuriated and asked the older angle how he could have let this happen. 「The first man had everything, yet you helped him,」 he accused. 「The second family had little but was willing to share everything, and you let the cow lie」.
「Things aren』t always what they seem,」 the older angle replied. 「when we stayed in the basement of the mansion, I noticed there was gold stored in that hole in the wall. Since the owner was so obsessed with greed and unwilling to share his good fortune, I sealed the wall so he wouldn』t find it.」
「Then last night as we slept in the farmer』s bed, the angle of death came for his wife. I gave him the cow instead. Things aren』t always what they seem.

For the then, they built a nice and comfortable chicken coop [籠] and fed the bird with best feed that they could gather.
After selling many gold eggs, the couple became richer and richer. However, after a period of time, they became dissatisfied with only one gold egg a day. It would be wonderful only if the hen could lay two or three or even one hundred gold eggs a day, the farmer and his wife thought. Thinking that there must be thousands of gold inside the hen, the farmer one day, decided to find it out. He killed the hen and opened her belly [肚，腹，胃], in search of gold eggs.
Alas, he found that there was only one gold egg inside the hen.
2.The rabbit and the turtle had a race（龜兔賽跑）
In this beautiful forest, there were many tall trees, bearing various sweet fruits, such as dates and figs. Along the forest, on a splendid meadow, countless flowers were blooming everywhere. Daily, all kind of animal will gather in the meadow and having fun. They would sing and dance in different groups. They also played many games, including hide-and-seek.
On this sunny warm afternoon, the pesky monkey posted a note on a big tree trunk, announcing that there would be a foot race between the rabbit and the turtle. Animals were surprised, but nevertheless, one could still feel the excitement in the air. The crowd pushed around the starting line, arguing about that who could be the winner. The majority of the animals favored the rabbit, no doubt.
As usual, the light footed rabbit carried his nonchalant [不關心的] smile on his face arrived first and checked in with the judge, the honorable goat. Then slowly but surely, arrived the humble looking turtle. The goat told them that the race would start only after his staring gun and the participants should strictly obey the rules of the race. The handsome deer made a wreath and placed it at the end point. Whoever got there first and put on the garland would be declared the winner.
Bang! There went the starting gun. The rabbit leaped up in the air and took of like an arrow. The turtle was slow to start, and moving ahead on a steady pace. Not soon enough, the rabbit arrived at the mid point of the race. He stopped and looked back, but the turtle was nowhere to be found. He was very confident and relaxed. Under the nice warm sunlight, with a big yawn, he decided to take a nap.
After a nice dream, the rabbit woke up and rubbed his eyes and feeling totally refreshed. He looked around and could not see the turtle anywhere. However, he decided that it was time to get on with the race again. As he was approaching the end of the race route, he heard some cheering ahead. He was thinking that the crowd must be getting ready celebrate his victory. He made the last turn around the corner and started to look ahead for the finishing line. He was stunned by the scene that the turtle was at the end point, picking up the wreath. The big crowd was cheering jubilantly for the winner of the race, the turtle.
3. A Smart Cock（聰明的公雞）
In a nice and tranquil village, there lived a handsome and smart cock. Next door, there lived a nice hound. They were good friends and often played together. On a nice spring day, the hound suggested that they two should take a trip to the forest to have some fun and could even meet some friends along the way. The cock was excited and agreed with the plan.
They wandered through the trees, immersed in the fresh air and enjoyed the beautiful scenery. Near sunset, they decided to rest for the night. They found a tall tree with many branches and it was very suitable for the cock to sleep. At the bottom of the trunk, there was a nice burrow which could fit the hound to rest in, very comfortably.
Next morning, the first ray of sun light woke up the cock high on the tree. He started to sing:」 cocka-do-da-do!」 from the branch. The hound was still soundly asleep, while the singing by the cock attracted the attention of a hungry red fox. The fox quietly approached the tree and saw the beautiful cock sitting high up there.
Immediately, the fox started to speak to cock with some sweet words, hoping to lure the cock down from the tall tree. After all, it should be a delicious breakfast for the fox.
However, the cock looked through the fox』s trick and definitely would not come down from the tree. He thought to himself that if there should be a way to wake up his friend, the hound.
The cock said to the fox that he definitely would need a ladder in order from him to get down from the tree safely. In fact, there was a rope ladder hidden in the burrow at the bottom of the tree. If the fox could get it out and set it up, he would appreciate it very much.
The fox was more than happy to do that, thinking that a wonderful meal was essentially in his hand. He then quickly stuck his front paw into the burrow and felt around. He touched a rope-like material in there. He then got a hold of it and started to pull it out. Alas, it was the tail of the hound. When the hound was dragged out of the burrow and saw the fox was pulling him out, he jumped up and started to chase the fox.
The fox ran as fast he could and barely got away. At the mean time, the cock was looking down from his perch with a broad smile on his face.

1. In a society,such as the United States or Canada,which has many national,religious and cultural differences,people highly value indivaalism the difference among people.Teachers place a lot of importance on the qualities that in these countries show those values.Students don't memorize information,instead they work on their own and find answers themselves.There is often discussin in the classroom.At an early age,students learn from their own ideas and opinions.
2.In most Asian Society by contrast,the people have the same language,history and culture.People for these reasons,the ecational system in these Asian countries reflects society's belief.In groups' goal and purpose,rather than indivialism,children in China,Janpa and Korea,often cook together and help one another on assignments.There are advantages and disadvantages to both of these systems of ecation.For example,on advantage to the system in Janpa,is that students there learn much more maths and sciences than American students learn by the end of high school.
1 在美國和加拿大這樣的國家，社會結構有較多種族 宗教 文化等等的差異。因此，那裡的人們習慣尊重個人的獨立性。老師評價學業，會更多的考慮獨立性的重要性。學生一般不會死記硬背，而是靠自己去尋找答案。課室里有很多討論，所以孩子在很小的年紀就已經習慣獨立思考。
2 與此相比，亞洲的國家一般通用同一種語言，歷史背景和文化。這些國家的教育體系遵從同樣的社會價值觀 集體的目標等，而不是鼓勵獨立性。中國 日本 韓國的孩子，常一起勞作，或者互相幫忙完成功課。這兩種教育制度各有千秋，舉例說，日本的學生在高中畢業的時候，掌握的數學和科學知識要比美國的學生要多。

My dream ended when I was born. Although I never knew it then, I just held on to something that would never come to pass. Dreams really do exist. But in the morning when you wake up, they are remembered just as a dream. That is what happened to me.
I always have the dream to dance like a beautiful ballerina twirling around and around and hearing people applaud for me. When I was young, I would twirling around and around in the fields of wildflowers that grew in my backyard. For hours I would dance as if people were watching me. I would dance so fast that I would forget where I was, until I would hear sounds that reminded me of where I really was. I thought that if I twirled faster everything would disappear and I would wake up in a new place. Reality woke me up when I heard a voice saying, "I don't know why you bother trying to dance. Ballerinas are pretty, slender little girls. Besides, you don't have the talent to even be a ballerina." I remember how those words paralyzed every feeling in my body. I feel to the ground and wept for hours.
We lived in the country by a nearby lake and I would sometimes go there to hide. My parents were never home anyway and I did not like to be at home where I could hear the walls talking of pain. When they were home, my mother just yelled and criticized because nothing was ever perfect in her life. She dreamed of a different life but ended up living in a country far away from the city where she believed her dreams would have come true.
I enjoyed hanging out by the water. I would sit there for hours and stare at my reflection. There I was, looked nothing like a pretty ballerina dancer. Reflections don't lie. Once the waves would come, my reflection was gone. Washed away just like my dream to dance. I sat there staring at the water, hoping that my reflection would reappear and be different.
As I grew older, I began to realize that the reason my dream was even born in the first place, was because it was something that was inside of me. The dream I had was never nurtured and cared for, so it slowly died. It's not that I wanted it to die, but I allowed it to die the day I started listening to the words, "You can't do it." When I finally woke up from many years of dreaming, I realized that you can't settle for dancing in the wildflowers, you have to move on to the platform. I still go to the lake sometimes and sit there. Looking at my reflection is different now too. When I was young, I looked at how others saw me, now that I am older and wiser; I look at how God sees me.（Vanessa Sanchez）

有一支掏金隊伍在沙漠中行走，大家都步伐沉重，痛苦不堪，只有一人快樂回的走著，別答人問：「你為何如此愜意?」他笑著：「因為我帶的東西最少。」原來快樂很簡單，擁有少一點就可以了。
