⑴ 英语哲理小短文（带翻译)
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：雪天随想
刚出门，便扑面而来一大片晶莹雪白的冰凉。冷气袭来，肌肤阵阵战栗，而内心却温暖如初。觉得自己似乎能发热，因而渴望在这寒冷中长时间驻足。这是一个大自然与你交流的日子。我深深地吸了一口气，静听雪花飘落，源源不绝。
漫步雪中，举目四顾，我努力思索是什么竟然能够把这一天变得如此美丽和宁静。那一刻，时间仿佛静止了，而我也定在其中。或者，只有我一个人在前行……
无论如何，这种孤寂却令人欣慰。我仿佛脱离了尘世。坐在路边，仔细聆听。只有风从头顶掠过，卷走几码远的干枯树叶。在我心中，这是大自然给人安慰、令人难忘的声音。
真的下雪了！不是零星小雪，而是鹅毛大雪，一落地就凝结在一起了。
该结束沉思离开了！我举步前行时，思绪又转回到现实中来，而此时感觉如此平静，如此清新。
我实在记不得我要往何处去了！
2.生活的乐趣
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.
中文翻译：
生活之乐趣来源于良好的情绪，信赖这些情绪，并任由它们如同鸟儿高翔于天空般地自由自在。生活的乐趣是无法靠姿态摆出来的，也无法用戴上一张面具来伪装。 拥有这种乐趣的人们无需挂在嘴边，他们自然会焕发出快乐的气息。他们自己生活在快乐当中，也将这样的快乐自然而然地感染着他人，犹如是鸟儿就必将歌唱。
直接追求生活的乐趣却只会使乐趣远离我们，它与幸福一样青睐胸有大志的人们。生活过得高雅、简单便会产生出乐趣。它是我们对生活的投入，而非所求。 3.我命运，我把握（不断超越自己）
正如世界上没有两片相同的叶子，我们每个人都是独一无二的。相信自己，命运就掌握在我们的手中。
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.
试想一下……你！一个空前绝后的你，不论是以往还是将来都不会有一个跟你一模一样的人。你在历史上和宇宙中都是独一无二的。哇！想想吧，你是万里挑一、亿里挑一、兆里挑一的。
在无穷无尽的宇宙中，你是举世无双的。
你是了不起的！你是卓越的！没错，就是你。你已经是了不起的，是卓越的，你还可以更卓越更了不起。美丽的年轻人是大自然的奇想，而美丽的老人却是艺术的杰作。但你不会因为年龄的渐长就自然而然地变得“美丽”。
真正的美丽源于生命里的学习、成长和热爱。这就是生命的艺术。你可以只听天由命, 慢慢地学，有时候或许会很痛苦。又或许你可以选择加速自己的成长，故意地挥霍生活及其提供的一切。你就是手握今日之刷描绘自己未来的艺术家。
画出一幅杰作吧。
上帝给了鸟儿食物，但他没有将食物扔到它们的巢里。不管你想要去哪里，不管你想要做什么，真正做决定的还是你自己。
4. 掌握未来：我们正在起跑点
"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：
“我们正在阅读一本页数无限的书的第一章的第一节……”
我不知道这段文字是谁写的，我一直很喜欢并用它们来提醒自己，那就是未来操之在我。我们可以掌握神秘而不可知的未来，从中创出我们所能想象的任何东西，一如雕刻家可以将未成型的石头刻出雕像一样。
我们每个人都是农夫。我们若种下好种子，就会有丰收。倘若种子长得不良且长满杂草，我们就会徒劳无获。如果我们什么也不种，就根本不会有什么收获。
我希望未来会比过去更好。我不希望未来会被那些充斥在历史中的错误所污染。我们应关心未来，因为往后的余生都要在未来中度过。
往昔已一去不复返而且是静止的。任凭我们怎么努力都不能改变过去。未来就在我们眼前而且是动态的。 我们的所作所为都会影响未来。只要我们体会的出来，每天都可以发现新的知识领域伴随而生，可能是在家里，也可能是在我们的事业中。我们正处在人类所努力钻研的每个领域中进步的起点。

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 英语哲理小短文
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.
我们的潜意识里藏着一派田园诗般的风光。我们仿佛身处一次横贯大陆的漫漫旅程之中。 乘着火车，我们领略着窗外流动的景色：附近高速公路上奔驰的汽车、十字路口处招手的孩童、远山上吃草的牛群、源源不断地从电厂排放出的烟尘、一片片的玉米和小麦、平原与山谷、群山与绵延的丘陵、天空映衬下城市的轮廓，以及乡间的庄园宅第。
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.
然而我们心里想得最多的却是最终的目的地。 在某一天的某一时刻, 我们将会抵达进站。 迎接我们的将是乐队和飘舞的彩旗。一旦到了那儿, 多少美梦将成为现实, 我们的生活也将变得完整, 如同一块理好了的拼图。可是我们现在在过道里不耐烦地踱来踱去, 咒骂火车的拖拖拉拉。 我们期待着, 期待着, 期待着火车进站的那一刻。
"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! "
可是我们终究会认识到人生的旅途中并没有车站, 也没有能够"一到永逸"的地方。生活的真正乐趣在于旅行的过程, 而车站不过是个梦, 它始终遥遥领先于我们。
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.
可是我们终究会认识到人生的旅途中并没有车站, 也没有能够"一到永逸"的地方。生活的真正乐趣在于旅行的过程, 而车站不过是个梦, 它始终遥遥领先于我们。
"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.
"享受现在"是句很好的箴言, 尤其是当它与《圣经·诗篇》中第118页24行的一段话相映衬的时候, 更是如此："今日乃主所创造；生活在今日我们将欢欣、高兴。 "真正令人发疯的不是今日的负担, 而是对昨日的悔恨及对明日的恐惧。 悔恨与恐惧是一对孪生窃贼, 将今天从你我身边偷走。
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.
那么就不要在过道里徘徊吧, 别老惦记着你离车站还有多远。 何不换一种活法, 将更多的高山攀爬, 多吃点儿冰淇淋甜甜嘴巴, 经常光着脚板儿溜达溜达, 在更多的河流里畅游, 多看看夕阳西下, 多点欢笑哈哈, 少让泪水滴答。生活得一边过一边瞧。车站就会很快到达。

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'!"

英文原稿及翻译：
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.
从前，一位富有的商人娶了四个老婆。他最爱他的小老婆，给她华丽的衣裳和美味佳肴。他对她体贴入微，把最好的东西都给了她。
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.
商人也很爱第三位老婆。他为她感到骄傲，并常把她作为在朋友面前炫耀的资本。但他同时也忧心忡忡，怕她与其他男人跑了。
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.
当然，商人也爱二老婆，她既善解人意又耐心。事实上，她是商人的红颜知己。每每遇到困难，他就会找她，而她也总能帮助他走出困境，度过难关。
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.
至于大老婆，她是一位忠诚的伴侣，替他照料生意、打理家务，忙里忙外，可谓劳苦功高。然而，尽管她爱得这么深，商人却偏不钟情于她，甚至没把她放在心上。
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，他自知将不久于人世。当他回顾自己奢华的一生，不禁心中怅然：“现在我虽然有四个老婆相伴，但死后却要孤零零一人。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.
于是，他问小老婆：“我最疼你，给你买最漂亮的衣服，还对你呵护备至。现在我就要离开这个世界了，你愿意随我而去，与我相伴吗？”“绝不可能！”她丢下一句话，径自走开了。
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。伤心的商人继而问第三个老婆：“我一直对你宠爱有加。如今，我将不久于人世，你愿意随我而去，与我相伴吗？”“不！”她拒绝道，“人间的生活多么美好啊！你死后我会改嫁他人！”商人的心倏地下沉，渐渐变冷。
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.
他再转向二老婆，问道：“我过去常常求助于你，你也总能为我排忧解难。现在我想再请你帮一次忙。我死后，你愿意随我而去，与我相伴吗？”“很抱歉，这一次我帮不了你，”她说，“我最多只能让你入土为安。”这句话犹如晴天霹雳，商人彻底绝望了。
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!”
这时，旁边传来一个声音：“我愿意随你一同离去。无论你到哪里，我都会跟着你。”商人抬起头，看到了自己的大老婆。她是那么消瘦，一副营养不良的样子。商人悲痛万分，他说：“我过去就应该好好地珍惜你啊！”
Actually, we all have 4 wives in our lives
其实，我们每个人的一生都有四位爱人相伴。
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.
小老婆代表我们的躯体。无论我们花费多少的时间和精力想去装扮她，我们死后它终会弃我们而去。
Our 3rd wife is our possessions, status and wealth. When we die, they all go to others.
第三位老婆代表财产、地位与金钱。一旦我们撒手西去，它终究会转向他人。
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.
二老婆则代表了我们的家人与朋友。我们活着的时候，无论他们与我们多么亲近，他们最多也只能到墓前送我们最后一程。
The 1st wife is in fact our soul, often neglected in our pursuit of material, wealth and sensual pleasure.
至于大老婆，她则是我们的灵魂。当我们沉迷于追求物质、金钱或感官享受的时候，她常常会被遗忘在一旁。
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.
结果呢？她才是唯一与我们永远相伴的。也许从现在开始，我们就应该悉心照顾好她，而不是等到临终之际才悔恨不已

【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.

“有些事并不象它看上去那样。”老天使答道，“当我们在地下室过夜时，我从墙洞看到
墙里面堆满了金块。因为主人被贪欲所迷惑，不愿意分享他的财富，所以我把墙洞填上了。
“昨天晚上，死亡之神来召唤农夫的妻子，我让奶牛代替了她。所以有些事并不象它看上去那样。”

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.

2.The rabbit and the turtle had a race（龟兔赛跑）
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 [不关心的] 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（聪明的公鸡）
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.

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 在美国和加拿大这样的国家，社会结构有较多种族 宗教 文化等等的差异。因此，那里的人们习惯尊重个人的独立性。老师评价学业，会更多的考虑独立性的重要性。学生一般不会死记硬背，而是靠自己去寻找答案。课室里有很多讨论，所以孩子在很小的年纪就已经习惯独立思考。
2 与此相比，亚洲的国家一般通用同一种语言，历史背景和文化。这些国家的教育体系遵从同样的社会价值观 集体的目标等，而不是鼓励独立性。中国 日本 韩国的孩子，常一起劳作，或者互相帮忙完成功课。这两种教育制度各有千秋，举例说，日本的学生在高中毕业的时候，掌握的数学和科学知识要比美国的学生要多。

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）

有一支掏金队伍在沙漠中行走，大家都步伐沉重，痛苦不堪，只有一人快乐回的走着，别答人问：「你为何如此惬意?」他笑着：「因为我带的东西最少。」原来快乐很简单，拥有少一点就可以了。
谢谢采纳！
