范文:
Dear editor,
I’m writing to tell you about the discussion we have had about whether an entrance fee should be charged for parks. 60% of us schoolmates think t hat an entrance fee do not meet people’s expectations, for a park is considered to be a place where the public can have a good time when they are not busy either a t home or at work. If an entrance fee must be paid by the visitors for a park, it will be necessary to build a gate and surrounding walls. In the end a city will take on a bad look. 40% of us schoolmates think that an entrance fee can be accepted, but it must not be too expensive. The money from ticket selling can be used for paying the gardeners in the par k and buying some other kinds of flowers and trees.
With regard to myself, I think an entrance fee is useful, for it can be used to protect a park. Do we share the same opinion, dear editor?
Yours truly,
Li Hua

Remarks of President Barack Obama
Weekly Address
The White House
November 27, 2014
On behalf of the Obama family -- Michelle, Malia, Sasha, Bo, and Sunny -- I want to wish you a very happy Thanksgiving. Like many of you, we'll spend the day with family and friends, catching up, eating some good food and watching a little football. Before we lift a fork, we lend a hand by going out in the community to serve some of our neighbors in need. And we give thanks for each other, and for all of God's blessings.
Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday because, more than any other, it is uniquely American. Each of us brings our own traditions and cultures and recipes to the table -- but we all share this day, united by the gratitude for the bounty of this nation. And we welcome the contributions of all people -- no matter their origin or color or beliefs -- who call America home, and who enrich the life of our nation. It is a creed as old as our founding: "E pluribus unum" -- that our of many, we are one.
We are reminded that this creed, and America itself, was never an inevitability, but the result of ordinary people in every generation doing their part to uphold our founding ideals -- by taking the blessings of freedom, and multiplying them for those who would follow. As President Kennedy once wrote, even as we give thanks for all that we've inherited from those who came before us -- "the decency of purpose, steadfastness of resolve and strength of will, for the courage and the humility, which they posessed," we must also remember that "the highest appreciation is not to utter words but to live by them."
Today, we are grateful to all Americans who do their part to live by those ideals, including our brave men and women in uniform overseas and their families, who sacrifice so much to keep America safe. To our service members who are away from home, we say an extra prayer for you and your loved ones, and we renew our commitment to take care of you as well as you've taken care of us.
We are grateful to the countless Americans who serve their communities in soup kitchens and shelters, looking out for those who are less fortunate, and lifting up those who have fallen on hard times. This generosity, this compassion, this belief that we are each other's keepers, is essential to who we are, not just on this day, but every day.
It's easy to focus on what separates us. But as we gather with loved ones on this Thanksgiving, let's remember and be grateful for what binds us together. Our love of country. Our commitment to justice and equality. Our belief that America's best days are ahead, and that her destiny is ours to shape -- and that our inherited ideals must be the birthright of all of our children.
That's what today is all about: that out of many, we are one. Thank you, God bless you, and from my family to yours, Happy Thanksgiving.

摘要:你曾遇到过这样的人吗?无论把他们丢在什么样的生活境况下,貌似他们总能从容面对。他们可能是在遵循某个幸福公式,你同样也可以提高自己的幸福指数,做下面这14件经过证明可以让你开心的事情。
Do you ever come across those people who are always upbeat and no matter what life throws at them, they just seem to roll with the punches? It’s quite possible they’re following a formula for happiness–right now. You can increase your own happiness quotient by doing these 14 things proven to make you happy.
1. Start with a Good Dose of Gratitude
你曾遇到过这样的人吗?无论把他们丢在什么样的生活境况下,貌似他们总能从容面对。他们可能是在遵循某个幸福公式,你同样也可以提高自己的幸福指数,做下面这14件经过证明可以让你开心的事情。
以一颗感恩的心开始一天的美好生活
Being consciously aware of what you’re thankful for can actually change your level of happiness. When you wake up each morning, spend time recalling all the things for which you feel grateful. Start with simple things: Do you have a roof over your head? Enough to eat? It might be helpful to start a gratitude journal.
自觉地意识到你的感激之情实际上会改变幸福感受。每天早上醒来的时候,回想一下所有让你有感激之情的事情。从简单的小事开始:住得好吗?吃得好吗?开始写感恩日记会很有用。
2. Make Sure You’re Giving Back
一定要回报
Do you give 10% of your income to your favorite charity or church? There’s something about giving that allows you to receive more in return besides just the awesome act of giving to help others. When you give, you’re sending a message to the Universe that you know everything’s going to be all right. By giving, you’ll be taken care of, too. You see it from those with very little to those who have millions: you have to give to get and by doing that, your happiness increases.
你把10%的收入捐给你最喜欢的慈善机构或教会了吗?关于给予付出,除了这种超赞的助人行为之外,还会让你得到更多的回报。在你给予付出的时候,你是在向宇宙传递一种正能量:一切都会好的。通过对他人的给予付出,你也会得到关心照顾。在你看来你的给予是那样的微不足道,对于那些人而言却是帮了一个大忙:奉献了给予了才能得到,这样做了,你的幸福感才会增加。
3. Laugh Every Day (It’s Better than Money)
笑对每天(笑容比金钱美好)
Do you spend time each day laughing? Do you purposefully find something to laugh about? When you laugh, you release a happy hormone called oxytocin. It’s a hormone that uplifts us as we share experiences with others. Even just making yourself smile will put you in a better place.
你是笑对每天的吗?你有没有有意识的去寻找让你发笑的事物?人在笑的时候,释放一种称为催生素的快乐荷尔蒙。在我们与他人分享经历时,这种荷尔蒙让我们的情绪高涨。甚至只是让自己微笑,也会让你有个好情绪。
4. Foster Good Relationships with Family and Friends
和家人、朋友培养感情
Happy people don’t spend large amounts of time alone. By spending time with people you like, you forge supportive relationships that help you in times of stress. You also bond with others through common experiences, such as life’s ups and downs. They become your support network. People who don’t spend as much time with family or friends are more prone to loneliness and depression.
快乐的人大多数的时光都不自处,而是和自己喜欢的人相处,和家人朋友培养感情有助于你排解压力。还可以通过共同的经历与他人建立联系,例如,探讨一下生活中的苦辣酸甜。家人朋友都会成为你的支持力量。不找时间和家人或朋友多多相处的人,更易于孤独抑郁。
5. Take Some Alone Time
找时间独处
In contrast to spending time with family and friends, it’s important to step back and take some time for yourself, by yourself. You can recharge your spirit and find a little peace in a little bit of silence. Taking some time away and being alone can do wonders for your mood and outlook.
除了找时间和家人朋友相处外,还要找时间自己独处,这一点也很重要。找时间让自己沉默平和一下,你会更有精气神儿。找时间独处一下的确会对你的心境情绪有好处。
6. Do What You Love
做自己喜欢做的事情
Have you ever heard the phrase, “Do what you love, because the money will follow?” Doing things that you love to do–and even better, getting paid for it–are good ways to boost your levels of happiness. When work feels like play, you’re more likely to enjoy other aspects of your life better, too.
你曾听说过这个说法吗?“做自己爱做的事情,金钱会随之而来。” 把自己喜欢做的事情做好了,是从中获得回报提升幸福感的好方式。当工作变得像玩乐般轻松,你也更能享受生命中其它方面的快乐。
7. Volunteer Your Time
奉献你的时间
When you give of yourself, either by time or talent, your focus shifts from your life to that of others, helping you realize that, just maybe, your own problems aren’t that bad. You invariably forge new relationships and experience an uplift in your spirit.
当你奉献你的时间或你的才华时,你把人生关注点转移到别人身上,有助于你认识到这一点:或许你自己遇到的问题其实并不那么糟,总能锤炼新的感受并体验精神上的升华。
8. Get Enough Exercise
多锻炼身体
When you take time out for exercise, you’re doing your body good in more ways than one. First, you’re doing what it was designed to do: physical exertion. Humans were made to move around and the body works best when it does what it was meant to do. Second, as you exercise, you release those same feel-good hormones as mentioned above. Third, when you take some time to exert yourself, you reduce your stress levels. All around, you need exercise to function optimally.
多找时间到户外锻炼身体,多活动身体总比身体始终处于一个模式好。首先,你的身体处于设定模式:强体力活动。身体状况会反应出来你是怎样对待身体的。其次,你健身的话,同样会释放一种上文所提到的感觉良好的荷尔蒙。第三,找时间健身会达到减压的效果。总之,你需要运动锻炼保持最佳的身体状况。
9. Avoid Regrets
别让自己有遗憾
We all make mistakes in life–that’s part of the human condition. But with a little forethought, you can try to avoid making big mistakes. Even then, they still happen. That’s when it’s best to learn to forgive–yourself and others–because everyone else just trying to get through life the best they can, too. They’ll make mistakes, but the trick is, moving on from them.
一生中我们都会犯错误,这是人类社会的一部分。但是稍微多考虑一下,尽量避免出大错。即使这样却还是会出错。最好学着去原谅自己、原谅别人,因为别人也在尽力把日子过到最好。他们会犯错误,但技巧在于要从他们身上吸取教训改进自己。
10. Take Time to Meditate
找时间沉思冥想
Sitting down, lighting a candle and doing some deep breathing for ten minutes are all it takes to relax your mind and body. In doing so, you get in touch with your inner-self, and invariably, you’ll get to know yourself a little better. That’s definitely a booster on the happiness scale.
坐下来、点上蜡烛、做十分钟的深呼吸让身心放松。这样你会接触抵达你的内心深处,并且还能对你自己更好地了解一下。沉思冥想绝对是幸福的助推器。
11. Deal With Clutter
理顺一下杂乱无章的生活
Are you overrun with books and papers piled everywhere? Too much mail sitting on the hall table? Why not tackle a small task each day for a month in an effort to de-clutter your life? When you’re not running around looking for items you can’t find, when everything has its place, you’ll automatically be less stressed and in a better mental state.
你把书和纸堆的到处都是吗?桌面上挂着太多的邮件?为什么不每天处理一项小的任务,努力坚持一个月的时间,来理顺你杂乱无章的生活?你不再为找不到东西而焦头烂额,你的每样东西都有固定地方,你自然就不会把自己搞得那么紧张有压力,而且会有一种比较好的精神状态。
12. Get Enough Rest
充分地休息好
Ever notice how cranky you are the afternoon when you’ve only had five or six hours of sleep? Many of us are suffering from sleep deprivation which can lead to higher levels of stress and edginess. After a good night of sleep, you can tackle your daily tasks in a more calm, alert way. It’s so much better than experiencing that awful sluggish feeling in that oh-so-important meeting with your boss. Your body will thank you, too.
你有没有注意到,在只睡了五六个小时的情况下,第二天下午你就会陷入暴躁的状态?我们大多数人在睡眠不足时会有更大的压力感和焦躁感。晚上睡个好觉,处理日常工作任务就会更加精力集中、冷静镇定。与老板开会时,精神焕发总比全身慵懒松散的感觉好。你的身体也会感谢你让它充分地休息好了。
13. Eat Healthier Foods
吃健康食品
You’ve heard the phrase, “You are what you eat.” It’s true. If you spend your time eating package after package of boxed noodles, canned dinners or fast food, your body is going to let you know by gaining weight, feeling sluggish, and quite possibly having a host of health problems. How can you look and feel your best if the foods you eat are not good for you? By eating better you’re not only taking care of yourself, but you’ll also feel more vibrant and energetic. You’ll literally be healthier from the inside out.
可曾听过这种说法:“吃得好身体好。” 真是这样。如果你经常吃速食面、罐装食品或快餐,你的身体也会给你释放出不好的信号:体重增加、无精打采,而且身体很可能会出现一系列的健康问题。如果你吃得不好怎么可能会有最好的气色和感觉呢?吃得好不仅能照顾好自己的身体,也会感觉自己更加精力充沛。你会感觉到自己那种由内而外的健康状态。
14. Don’t Compare Yourself To Others
不拿自己和别人做比较
This is definitely easier said than done, but if you can condition your mind to focus on the good that you are doing and the good things in your life, you’re not going to be tempted to focus on how others are doing.
这绝对是说起来容易做起来难,但是如果你能集中精力把自己的事情做好,并关注生命中的美好,你就不会被诱惑去好奇地关注别人怎么做。

卡罗琳·凯恩
人们普遍认为美国的教育制度已深陷困境。人人都意识到了这些可怕的事实:学校系统经费短缺,老师不会拼写,学生不会阅读,高中毕业生在地图上连中国也找不到。
我们大多数人都知道,或自以为知道,这应该怪谁:怪执法不严的法庭,怪软弱无能的校董会,怪荒.唐可笑的政府法令。要找个顶罪的坏蛋很容易。
但也许问题不是在于我们的机制而是在于我们的态度。可悲的是, 虽然我们大多数人都声称自己相信教育的价值, 但我们却不重视智力活动。
我们美国人是一个宽厚、仁慈的民族。我们有致力于每一项美好事业的机制 ── 从拯救无家可归的猫到防止第三次世界大战爆发。但是为促进思考的艺术我们做了些什么呢?当然在日常生活中我们没有为思考留出时间。假定一位男子对朋友们说,“今晚我不去参加家长教师联谊会(或不去看棒球赛或诸如此类的事)了,因为我需要留一些时间给我自己,留一些时间进行思考”?对这位男子邻居们就会避而远之;家人就会为他感到羞耻。如果一个十几岁的青少年说,“今天晚上我不去跳舞了,我需要一些时间进行思考”,那又会怎么样呢?他的父母会立即开始在黄页簿中查寻精神病医生的电话。
几年前一位学院行政管理人员告诉我,如果他想进行任何认真的思考,他只得早上5点30分起床 ── 我猜想因为那是唯一没人会打扰他的时刻。前些时候,我听到一位教授说,当他的朋友们撞见他正在读书时,他们会说,“啊,有这么多空闲时间一定很开心。” 尽管我是一名英语教师 ── 是一个应该更明事理的人 ── 但我却发现自己每次悄悄溜进图书馆看书时,都会隐隐约约感到有点心虚。 人们普遍认为:如果一个人在思考或阅读,他就是在无所事事。在生活中的每一天,我们都在通过言行表达这种看法。还有,我们疑惑不解为什么孩子们不肯认真对待他们的学习,为什么他们对老师说,“我为什么要学这玩意儿?这些东西以后对我什么用也没有;我永远都用不着。”
要理解为什么对思考会有这种偏见并不难。问题之一就是,在我们大多数人看来,思考似乎有无所事事之嫌。一个陷于沉思的人看上去的样子就叫人没劲。他靠着椅背,支起双脚,一口一口地抽着烟斗,两眼茫然地凝视着前方。他的样子完全是在浪费时间。而且,他把所有的累活都留给了我们!
我们希望他能站起来干些有用的事 ── 也许是打扫屋子,或者给草坪刈草。我们忿忿不平是很自然的。
但是,思考决非懒惰。思考是人所能从事的最有成果的活动之一。我们创造的每一样美丽和有用的东西之所以存在都是因为曾经有人花费时间和精力去思考它。
思考的确需要时间和精力。许多人错误地以为,如果一个人有“天赋”或“有才华”或“有才干”,绝妙的思想就会自动在他的头脑中闪现。遗憾的是,才智的发挥并不是这样的。就连爱因斯坦在能够系统地阐明他的相对论之前也不得不研究思考了几个月。我们这些智力平平的人连想出一个稍微好一点的主意都得费尽心思,更别提一个绝妙的主意了。
我们不相信思考的另一个原因是,它似乎不合乎人之常情。人是社会性的物种,但思考却是一种人们独处时做得最好的活动。所以,我们很担心那些爱思考的人。遇上一个有意选择独自一人坐着思考, 而不去参加聚会或观看足球比赛的人,我们会感到困惑。我们心里会想这样的人需要心理咨询。而且,这样的人有时会显得很不友好 ── 这使我们深感不安。
我们的忧虑毫无必要。智慧如同友善一样也是人性的一部分。如果一个人完全把自己隔离起来,那当然不正常。但如果一个人任凭自己的思想因弃置不用而枯竭,那同样也不正常。
如果美国人什么时候相信了思考的重要性, 我们也许就会找到办法来解决我们学校的问题,那些现在似乎不可能解决的问题。但我们如何重新唤起对思考艺术的兴趣呢?开始的最好地方是在家里。家庭成员应该养成习惯说这样的话,“今天晚上我来洗碗,我知道你要继续进行思考。”
这听上去也许荒.唐。但如果我们要作为一个自由的民族生存下去,我们就必须尽快采取一些这样的行动, 因为这个国家并不像有些广告商所引导我们相信的那样,是靠石油在运转。它是靠思想在运转。
