保持健康的方法
2.健康对我们任何人来说都是最为重要的。为了保持健康,我们需要一些普通的知识。
首先,注意你的饮食。我们应该吃大量的水果和蔬菜,因为它们富含纤维素并且脂肪含量较低。正如一句谚语所说:“一天一个苹果不求医。”因此水果对健康有益。不要吃太多富合脂肪的食物,比如说黄油。同时,应当适量地吃甜食,因为糖过多对我们人体不利,也不要喝太多的咖啡。其次,锻炼是必需的;经常性的锻炼能使我们保持身材;通常每天跑步的人的心脏要比那些不跑步的人更强壮。最后,养成良好的生活习惯。我们晚上应该睡八小时,不要过分辛苦地工作。过度劳作和睡眠不足将导致生病。而且,不要吸烟。以上这些方面我们都该注意,这样才能保持健康。
The Way to Stay Healthy
Health is most important for any of us.In order to stay healthy, we need some common knowledge.Firstly, pay attention to the diet.We should eat lots of fruit and vegetables, because they are rich in fiber and low in fat.As a proverb says, "An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” So fruit is good for health.Don't have a lot of food that contains too much fat, such as butter.Meanwhile, sweets should be eaten in proper quantity, because too much sugar does harm to us.Don't drink too much coffee, either.Secondly, exercise is necessary.Regular exercise can help us keep from getting fat.People who do running every day usually have stronger hearts than who don’t.Finally, form good living habits.We should sleep for about 8 hours at night, and never work too hard.Over work and little sleep will lead to illness.What's more, stay away from cigarettes.These are the things we should pay attention to so as to stay healthy.3.随着人们生活水平的提高,越来越多的人拥有了自己的汽车,你班同学就此展开了一次讨论,提出两种不同的观点和看法。请你根据所提供的信息给报社写一封信,客观介绍这两种看法。赞同者认为:1.方便、快捷、舒适的交通工具;2.反映出国民生活条件提高,国家富强;

becoming richer,and the country stronger.It also makes businesses and industries develop faster.Others have different opinions.They think that cars give off waste gas and pollute the environment.Too many cars will have some bad effects,such as more accidents.Besides,parking cars isanother big problem.Maybe people should think carefully before they buy a car.Yours truly,Li Hua

第二篇:高中英语背诵美文
高中英语背诵美文 Time Is Money
“Time is money.” This saying means that time is very valuable.But time is more valuable than money.The money we have lost can be gained again, but the time we have wasted cannot be regained.Moreover, sometimes persons can exist without money, but nothing can be done without time, just as no one can live without air.Despite being so valuable, time is often neglected by men.Since time is an invisible thing, men often waste their time unconsciously(无意地).Without anything to do, they may gossip from morning till night.Man can live only at most to about 100 years.It seems fairly long, but in fact it is rather short.We often say “How quickly time flies!” How many things can a man accomplish in such a short period? Hence we should use the valuable time properly to do our work.We will race with it.We will study and work hard.Never waste a little bit of it.Try to Be a Good Student
Perhaps it is the dream of everyone to be a good student at school, but quite a few students feel at a loss on how to make it.In my opinion it is rather easy if you can act on the following points.First of all, make full use of your time and work hard.Don‟t put off till tomorrow what should be done today, as time past will never come back.The fast developing society requires adequate knowledge, which presses us to spare no efforts to study.Of course, your hard work will be rewarded one day.Secondly, use your own head and present your point of view.Credulous(轻信的)attitude will only make you take anything for granted.With your own judgment you will be able to tell right from wrong and set up your own theory.Thirdly, set aside enough time for relaxation, entertainment, etc.don‟t ignore the harm of all work and no play.Proper sports will build up your body and improve the efficiency of your studying.To be a good student is easier said than done, for it needs a student‟s consistent efforts.But nothing is difficult to a man if he puts his heart into it.Natural Resources
Nature has provided us with many kinds of resources.Almost everything we use in our everyday life comes from Nature.The food we eat, the water we drink, the clothes we wear, the concrete and bricks to build our houses, the materials to make bikes we ride, etc.all come originally from Nature.1
People have been making use of these natural supplies for thousands of years.With the development of technology and the increase of the population, the amount and range of materials taken has increased.It is estimated that this tread will continue in the years to come.However, natural resources are not in exhaustible.Some resources are already nearly used up.For example, the end of the world‟s fuel is already within sight.Such an essential daily item as water is in short supply in many parts of the world.We can no longer thoughtlessly use the many resources provided by Nature.We must learn to conserve what remains.We Have Only One World
When industries grow, pollution also grows.Today the problem of environment has become more and more important.The world population is rising so quickly that the world has become too crowded.We are using up our natural resources too quickly and at the same time we are polluting our environment with dangerous chemicals.If we don‟t take action immediately, then we will destroy our only world.Man has made great progress in environment protection.Government of many countries has established laws to protect the forest and sea resource and to stop the environmental pollution.Still more measures should be taken to solve the problem.First, we should start by educating the public about the hazards of pollution.The government on its part should also design stricter laws.This is not only for our own generation but also for the future generation to come.It is necessary to protect our nature environment.We must begin now to protect our only world.Make The Best Use of Our Land
It is the land that has been providing us with everything we need for centuries.In other words, almost everything we use daily comes from the land directly or indirectly.The food, clothes, houses, even the books and furniture are all supplied by the land.But the limited land is decreasing at a surprising speed.With the expanding of the cities, the development of the industry and over population, lots of large pieces of good farmland are being turned into residential areas with many houses and apartment buildings, or industrial areas, or warehouses.Therefore some measures must be taken to stop the abusing of our farmland.On the other hand, we should let everyone realize the danger of being short of land.And also we should educate them how to make better use of our land.Health
It is said that we do not properly value a thing until we have lost it.It is only when a friend dies that we find out how much he was to us.So it is with health.When we are young and strong and have good health, we think little about it.It seems natural to us to be always well, and we cannot imagine what it is like to be ill.We are often careless about our health, and without
thinking we spoil our health by bad habits and doing silly things.It is only when we have our good health that we find that it was one of God‟s best gifts to us.Health is our most important possession.We should do our best to maintain it.Good health is necessary to happiness and success.People who are in poor health are often pessimistic or depressed.As a rule, bad health means misery and failure.How can we keep our health? Only by knowing and carefully obeying the laws of health.A happy man is a healthy man, and only the healthy man can live a happy life.The desire for good health is universal.Everyone who loves life understands how important health is.First, good health is the guarantee for enjoying life.The only desire of a patient is always to live an ordinary and healthy life.Second, good health establishes a firm foundation for your ambition of the career.Without it, any lofty aspiration turns to be a daydream.Then how to keep fit? Everyone has his own answers to this question, while I think three principal suggestions should be followed.The first one is that a scientific diet should be adopted, which offers the necessities for your body.The second one is that physical exercises must be persisted, especially for the indoor people.The last, but not the least, is that the cheerful mood should be kept.In order to keep fit, I force myself to keep away from the “junk food”, although it usually tastes good, I even form a good habit of doing morning exercises.And the beautiful music and good books always cheer me up.Sports and Games
Sports and games do a lot of good to our health.They can make us strong, prevent us from getting too fat, and keep healthy and fit.Especially they can be of great value to people who work with their brains most of the day, for sports and games give people valuable practice in exercising the body.What‟s more, they make our life richer and more colourful.If we do not have a strong body, we will find it hard to do whatever we want.So persons of all ages enjoy watching and taking part in various kinds of sports-track and fields, swimming, skating, football, volleyball and basketball, etc.Sports and games are also very useful in character training.They demand not only physical skills and strength but also courage, endurance, discipline and usually teamwork.For boys and girls, what is learned in the playground often has a deep effect on their character.If each of them learns to work for his team and not for himself on the football field, he will later find it natural to work for the good of his country instead of only for his own benefit.A healthy citizen makes a strong country.Let‟s all take part in sports and games.Smoking
It is well known that smoking does harm to the health.Today, so many people still keep smoking, which has drawn wide attention of the society.Smoking has so many disadvantages but no advantages at all.First, the cigarettes with nicotine in them do great harm to the health.Such diseases as pneumonia, lung cancer may be caused or partly caused by them.Furthermore, the bad effects of cigarettes cost the smokers lots of money, which could be spent on other meaningful things.Thirdly, the accidents of fire all over the world every year are mostly caused by the still-burning butts(end).The government has formulated the regulation of no smoking in public places.Yet its result is not so satisfactory.From my point of view, it needs the common efforts of the society.Not only the nonsmokers but the smokers should cooperate on this matter.Live in the City or in the Country
Where do you like to live, in the city or in the country? Most cities are centers of economy, trade, transportation or culture.With the development of economy and society, more and more people have flooded into the cities, which makes the scale of the cities larger and larger.Surely, it is very convenient for shopping, education, business and so on.But it also has many disadvantages: the large population makes it crowded in each corner of the city;the big factories, too many cars, buses and trucks pollute the clean air;too much noise can make people mad.To live in the city, one even can‟t get enough room for living.To live in the country is another thing.You can breathe the fresh air cheerfully, own a spacious house with a big backyard, and relax yourself in quietness.But when you want to go shopping, or take your child to school, perhaps you will complain about its inconvenient transportation, its remoteness…I am an ordinary person.I am always longing for the peaceful idyllic(田园诗般的)life of the countryside.Is Failure a Bad Thing?
Failure is a common occurrence(happening)in our daily life.Whatever we do, there are always two possible results: success or failure.Although everyone wants to succeed in what he tries, sometimes failure can‟t be avoided.Different people hold different attitudes towards failure.When faced with it, some can stand up to it, draw a useful lesson from it and try their best to fulfill what they are determined to do.Others, however, lose heart and give in.They do nothing but complain about themselves and objective conditions.As a popular saying goes, “Failure teaches success.” In my opinion, what really counts is not the failure itself, but the proper attitude we should take after it.I trust that as long as we keep to what is right and correct what is wrong, that is to say, learn a lesson from failure, we will be certain to succeed.So I am of the opinion that failure is not a bad thing.My Mother's Birthday
The sixth of August was my mother's birthday.My father and I wanted to give her surprising birthday presents.On their mothers' birthday,I know some of my classmates are going to help their mothers with housework;others are going to the shop and buy some flowers for their mothers.In the morning,my father and I went shopping and bought a very nice cake.Then we went to the market and bought some food.When we got home,my father cooked some nice food in the kitchen.I went to my room to make a birthday card.I wanted to say to my mother that I loved her very much.Then I wrote in the card,“I love you,my dear mother!”I put it on her pillow,then we cleaned the room.We felt very tired,but we were very happy.My mother got home.We said,“Happy Birthday!”My mother smiled.We had our supper together.My mother said,“Thank you,my daughter!”
How happy we were!
The Value Of Time
I always think there is not enough time.For example,I have just taken a three-day holiday.But when I look back,I just feel that it„s only one day.There goes a proverb,“Time is money”。Now I want to say,time is more precious than money,because when money is spent,we can earn some more again.However,when time is gone or lost,never will it return.Time goes without being noticed.The time for our study and work is usually limited.So I think we must make full use of our time.But it„s a pity that I am always not aware of the importance of time until it‟s too late.So I think,I should get into the good habit of saving time because wasting time is equal to wasting one„s life.Do not put off what can be done today till tomorrow!
Environment
Environmental problems are as big as not for inpidual country or inpidual people to address.In other word,we have reached the stage that environmental problems be solved for international view.To what extent do you agree or disagree?
In recent years,many nations have become more aware of the environmental issues each nation faces,such as air and water pollution.The question is,are the environmental issues a national problem or an international problem?It is my belief that the environmental issues have grown to the point of becoming an international problem needing international cooperation to resolve.Because of the differences in environmental policies,resources and technology,international cooperation could provide quicker results and have a greater impact on bringing resolution to environmental problems for nations of differing environmental policies and of lesser resources and technology.By pooling international resources and technology to address the environmental problems,the disadvantaged nations are provided the assistance needed.Otherwise their environmental conditions deteriorate ultimately affecting the resources and environment of the world as a whole.Self introduction
Teachers,good afternoon.Allow me to briefly talk about myself.My name is-Xianning graduated from the south gate of the private secondary schools.Tourism now studying at the school in Hubei Province.Studying hotel management professional.I was a character,cheerful girl,so my hobbies is extensive.Sporty.In my spare time likes playing basketball,table tennis,volleyball,skating.When a person like the Internet at home,or a personal stereo.Not like too long immersed in the world of books,and family members have told me,Laoyijiege is the best.Talking about my family,then I will talk about my family has.Only three people my family,my grandmother,grandfather and my own.My grandfather is a engineer,I am very severely on peacetime,the Church me a lot.Grandma is a very kindly for the elderly,care for my life in every possible way.Therefore,I have no parents in their care,childhood and growth were full of joy.I like this hotel management professional,because I like to live in a strict order of the management environment.I have my professional self-confidence and hope,as long as the efforts will be fruitful,this is my motto.Since I chose this profession,I will follow this path,effort,perseverance path.Thank you teachers.I finished presentation.We have only one earth Dear human being,Have you ever seen such a notice “A black smelly earth with lots of dirty things on it is crying and struggling.”? How terrible it is!Long,long ago,the earth was healthy and beautiful,and it was covered with heavy forest and all kinds of plants.The water in the rivers and lakes and seas was clean and harmless.There were not so many disasters of nature.People lived in harmony with nature,Why has everything changed? Because we human being do a lot of bad things to her.First,We cut down the forests,destroy the grasses,and the water washes away a lot of soil down the rivers into the lakes and seas,making a lot of places flooded and many people killed and making her surface ugly.Secondly,we use lots of chemical powder in the wars,we burn plenty of coals,gas in the factories and cars,making much SO2 and CO2 with the heavy smoke spread in the air,so a lot of people suffer from this terrible air pollution,especially in winter.As a result of this,the temperature of the earth is getting higher and higher.It is dangerous for human being,animals and plants to exist.Thirdly,we pour a lot of waste and poisonous water into the rivers,lakes and seas.Making all kinds of fishes,plants and birds die
Now,if we go on doing bad things to the earth,the earth will die.If the earth died,where would we human being go? The earth is our common living place.So it is everyone‟s duty to protect our home —— the earth.Do remember: We have only one earth!
My Home Village
My home village is a small one.It‟s in Yuxian county of Shanxi Province.Small as it is,it‟s very beautiful.There are many hills around my home village and they are more beautiful than some big mountains.In spring,we can fly kites which are made by ourselves on the top of the hills.The kites fly very high.In summer,the trees are green and the grass is green,too.It is green
everywhere on the hills.There are so many wild apple trees on the hills.The wild apples are nice to eat.In autumn,the corns under and around the hills are ripe.So we eat them almost every day.In winter,when it snows,all the ground is covered with snow.We can play with snow and sometimes we eat the clean snow with sugar.In my hometown the sky is blue,the air is clean,the water is sweet and the people are very friendly.I love my hometown!
The Mid-Autumn Festival
The Mid-Autumn is a very important Chinese festival.It falls on the 15th day of August.A few days before the festival,everyone in the family will help to make the house clean and beautiful.Lanterns will be hung in front of the house.On the evening there will be a big family dinner.People who work far away from their homes will try to come back for the union.After dinner,people will light the lanterns which are usually red and round.Children will play with their own toy lanterns happily.At night the moon is usually round and bright.People can enjoy the moon while eating moon-cakes which are the special food for this festival.They can look back on the past and look forward to the future together.It is said that there was a dragon in the sky.The dragon wanted to swallow up the moon.To protect the frighten the dragon away.The Four seasons
A year has four seasons.Every season has three months.The weather of one season is different from that of any other.The life cycles of plants are controlled by the seasons.The first season is spring.The three months in it are March,April and May.During that time we have warm weather and fine days.All plants come to life.Animals wake up from hibernation.It is time for farmers to get ready for their fields.The second season is summer.The three months are June,July and August.The weather is very hot and it often rains.People can go swimming and sightseeing.It is time for all things to grow up.The third season is autumn.The three months are September,October and November.The weather becomes cooler and cooler.Leaves begin to fall to the ground.It is the harvest time for farmers.The fourth season is winter.December,January and February are the three months of that season.The weather is very cold,and most of the plants die at that time.Sometimes it snows.People can enjoy skating and skiing.But winter doesn‟ t stay with us for a long time,for spring comes again soon.四季
一年有四季,每个季节有三个月,每个季节的气候都不一样。生命的轮回由四季控制。
第一个季度是春季。春季的三个月为三月、四月和五月。在这段时间里,天气温暖、晴朗,万物复苏。冬眠的动物们也醒过来了,农民们开始忙农活。
第二个季节是夏季,包括六月、七月和八月。天气非常热,而且老是下雨。人们能游泳、观光。夏季也是万物生长的好时候。
第三个季节是秋季,三个月分别是九月、十月和十一月。天 气越来越凉,树叶开始飘落。这是一个收获的季节。
最后一个季节是冬季,这一季包括十二月、一月和二月。天气非常冷,大多数植物都死了。有时候还下雪,人们可以滑冰和滑雪。但是冬天不会太长,因为春天马上就要来临了。
Asking for trouble 自找麻烦
It must have been about two in the morning when I returned home.I tried to wake up my wife by ringing the door-bell, but she was fast asleep, so I got a ladder from the shed in the garden, put it against the wall, and began climbing towards the bedroom window.I was almost there when a sarcastic voice below said,' I don't think the windows need cleaning at this time of the night.' I looked down and nearly fell off the ladder when I saw a policeman.I immediately regretted answering in the way I did, but I said, 'I enjoy cleaning windows at night.' 'So do I,' answered the policeman in the same tone.'Excuse my interrupting you.I hate to interrupt a man when he's busy working, but would you mind coming with me to the station ?'
'Well, I'd prefer to stay here,' I said.'You see, I've forgotten my key.' 'Your what ?' he called.'My key,' I shouted.'
Fortunately, the shouting woke up my wife who opened the window just as the policeman had started to climb towards me.我回到家时,肯定已是凌晨两点左右了。我按响了门铃,试图唤醒我的妻子,但她睡得很熟。于是,我从花园的小棚里搬来了一个梯子,把它靠在墙边,开始向卧室的窗口爬去。快要爬到窗口时,下面一个人用讽刺的口吻说:“我看不必在夜里这个时候擦窗子吧。”我向下面看去。当我看清是一个警察时,差一点儿从梯子上掉下去。我回答了他的话,但马上又后悔不该那样说,我是这样说的:“我喜欢在夜里擦窗子。”
“我也是的,”警察用同样的声调回答,“请原谅我打断了您。当一个人在忙着干活时,我是不愿意去打断他的,但请您跟我到警察局去一趟好吗?”
“可我更愿意呆在这儿,”我说,“您瞧,我忘带钥匙了。”
“什么?”他大声问。
“钥匙!”我喊道。
幸运得很,这喊声惊醒了我的妻子。就在警察开始向我爬上来时,她打开了窗子。In or out ? 进来还是出去?
Our dog, Rex, used to sit outside our front gate and bark.Every time he wanted to come into the garden he would bark until someone opened the gate.As the neighbours complained of the noise, my husband spent weeks training him to press his paw on the latch to let himself in.Rex soon became an expert at opening the gate.However, when I was going out shopping last week, I noticed him in the garden near the gate.This time he was barking so that someone would let him out!Since then, he has developed another bad habit.As soon as he opens the gate from the outside, he comes into the garden and waits until the gate shuts.Then he sits and barks until someone lets him out.After this he immediately lets himself in and begins barking again.Yesterday my husband removed the gate and Rex got so annoyed we have not seen him since.我家的狗雷克斯,过去常坐在大门外面叫。每当它想到花园里来时,便汪汪叫个不停,直到有人把门打开。由于邻居们对狗叫很有意见,所以我丈夫花了几个星期的时间训练它用脚爪按住门闩把自己放进来。雷克斯很快成了开门的专家。然而上星期我正要出去买东西时,发现它正呆在花园里边靠门的地方。这次它叫着让人把它放出去!从那以后,它养成了另外一种坏习惯。它从外面把门一打开,就走进花园,等着门自动关上。这之后他就坐下汪汪叫起来,直到有人来把它放出去。出去之后,它又马上把自己放进来,接着再开始叫。昨天,我丈夫把门卸了下来,雷克斯很生气,此后我们便再也没有见到它。
第三篇:高中英语背诵短文
The Way to Success
Success is something everyone looks for, longs for and dies for.But have you ever considered what success is? Some may hold that success means one has beautiful life, like pretty house, cool cars and great power.It’s indeed one way to define success.But to me, success is doing something one really feels like doing.To achieve this kind of success, one has to bear in mind three essential aspects, namely knowing where your interest really lies in, possessing the strong will to pursue your interest and having the diligence to realize your dream.In other words, they are “what” “why” and “how” of success.It’s really luckily good for one, especially for the younger generation of today to find their dreams, follow them and in the end, make them come true and become successful.Although it’s never easy to succeed, progressing with the strong will and diligence towards the right direction, you’ll be the one!

The Way to Success First essay—stream of thought type
The Way to Success
“Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration.” And here comes our question, what is the way to success?
A strong will and great efforts are the most essential two keys to the door of success.Why do people fail to achieve their goal? The reason is that most of them give up halfway due to their lack of a strong will once they encounter any difficulty.A man of a strong will always sticks to his cause no matter how tough it might be.Would Thomas Edison be such a great man in history if he had done nothing but possessing a strong will? We are all familiar with his story that he had tried one thousand kinds of materials before he finally made his great bulb light up.Without hard effort, Edison might have been a nobody.Without efforts, no one can succeed.To sum up, a strong will and great efforts can help one open up the way to success.Where there is a will with efforts, there is a way.

To us young people, challenge often emerges in the form of competition.In the next century, competition will not only come from other college graduates, but also from people of all ages, of all origins.With increasing international exchanges ,we have to face growing competition from the whole outside world.This is calling for a higher level of our personal development.(全国英语演讲比赛第一届冠军, 刘欣, 南京大学, 1996年, 节选)

What happened to this beautiful valley in Australia should also happen to our Yellow River and, in fact, it is happening.I have seen farmers planting trees on mountains along the Yellow River.I have seen them climb the mountain tops with seeding on their shoulders because they had no machinery.I have seen them pour on trees the water they carried up in buckets from miles down the valley.These farmer are quietly nourishing our Yellow River, just as the river has nourished them.(全国英语演讲比赛第四届冠军, 蔡力, 南京大学, 1999年, 节选)

If a person inherits his father‟s millions of dollars and leads an easy life , he is not a successful person even in material terms, because there are no difficulties involved in his achieving affluence.The term „success‟, to be sure , will not sit still for easy definition.But as I understand it , the true meaning of success entails a combination of both the process and the satisfactory result of an endeavor.(全国英语演讲比赛第五届冠军, 陈恒, 上海外国语大学, 202_年,节选)

The other night, as I saw the moon linger over the land and before it was sent into the invisible, my mind was filled with songs.I found myself humming softly, not to the music, but to something else, someplace else, a place remembered, a place untouched, a field of grass where no one seemed to have been except the deer.And all those unforgettable scenes strengthened the feeling that it‟s time for us to do something, for our own and our coming generation.(全国英语演讲比赛第八届冠军, 顾秋蓓, 上海外国语大学, 202_年,节选)

Look at us today!So many doors are open to us!I believe there have never been such abundant opportunities for self-development as we have today.The doors open to us also pose challenges.Each door is a test of our courage, ability and judgment, but with the support of my teachers, parents and friends, I believe I can meet the challenge head on.(全国英语演讲比赛第九届冠军, 洪晔, 南京大学, 202_年,节选)
(10)The force of habits
Habits, whether good or bad, are gradually formed.The more we do things, the more we tend to like doing it;and if we do not continue to do it, we feel uncomfortable.This is called the force of habits, and the force of habits should be fought against.This applies even to such good things as work or rest.Some people form a bad habit of working too much, and others of idling too much.Bad habits, once formed, are difficult to get rid of.The wise man always remembers to check any bad habit.He warns himself “I am now becoming idle” or “I like too many sweets” or “I smoke too much”.And then adds, “I will get myself out of this bad habit at once.”
(11)The way to achieve success
Many people say that they owe much of it to the cultivation of certain good habits in early life.In forming good habits, I think we should pay attention to four things, that is honesty, industry, enthusiasm and thrift.“Honesty is the best policy.” This is a proverb to which we must pay attention.There are so many temptations in society that through a little carelessness we may go astray.But when we are honesty, people will not be dishonest to us.Industry gives every man and woman, every boy and girl, proper work to do.To do nothing is going to ruin oneself.Enthusiasm is a great force.One‟s soul will expand if one devotes oneself to a noble cause.The difficulties in our way are tremendous, but what can we not accomplish, if with enthusiasm?
There are many proverbs which set forth the advantages of thrift.Since we live in the world in which money is a very powerful thing, we should always try to save a portion of our earnings for future use.These are the four things to which we must pay attention.It is only by this way that we can achieve success.(12)Language skills
Language skills will develop with use of various dictionaries.The more you use them, the more familiar you will become with them.Sooner or later, you will be quite skilled in finding the page, scanning the entries and locating the exact meaning of the new words.But you should have one ting in mind.As a language student, you can never become too much attached to dictionaries;basic language skills do not come from dictionaries, but from your practice.Expose yourself to the language by listening, speaking, reading and writing more, and that is the only way to the mastery of a language.(13)TV—a Blessing or curse?
As TV enters into more and more families, people begin to wonder about its advantages and disadvantages.Some believes it is a blessing while others hold that it is a curse to society.TV, as a mass media, can bring to people new information on economies , culture, arts, and many other fields.People can enjoy their favorite programs at home.In some countries, some TV stations provide such programs as looking for dangerous criminals and lost children, helping to find an ideal lover, and others which are quite beneficial to society, some TV stations provide various useful seminars for people of variousages and social status.But on the other hand, TV may exert bad influence on people.Some programs are full of violence.As a result, people , especially juveniles, are led to commit crimes.An increasing number of people are so indulged in TV programs that some even neglect their duties.In my opinion, the attitude toward TV all depends on oneself.People should choose those programs which are useful and can bring to them the sense of beauty.(14)On Test and Test Taking
The purpose of a test is to check how much we students have learned about a subject.It not only helps make our newly acquired knowledge permanent, but also enables us to find out what needs to spend more time improving.But some students do not deal with test correctly.Some of them are afraid of failing in a test.They cheat even at the risk of being caught on exams.Though cheating might give one “better grades”, it adds nothing to one‟s knowledge.This dishonest behavior will do one more harm than good.I think that we go to college in order to have our further studies, and prepare us to be qualified for the future job.Therefore, we should take a correct attitude towards test.As long as we study diligently and review our lessons regularly, we are sure to be used to serve its real purpose.(15)The Dictionary
The dictionary is a living teacher.Whenever you come across a new word, just consult it and you will get a clear definition.Every student, whether attending school or self-taught, should always have a dictionary at hand.As a study aid, it is convenient, inexpensive and almost omniscient(all-knowing).
第五篇:高中英语 经典美文背诵_英语
By heart
Some plays are so successful that they run for years on end.In many ways, this is unfortunate for the poor actors who are required to go on repeating the same lines night after night.One would expect them to know their parts by heart and never have cause to falter.Yet this is not always the case.A famous actor in a highly successful play was once cast in the role of an aristocrat who had been imprisoned in the Bastille for twenty years.In the last act, a gaoler would always come on to the stage with a letter which he would hand to the prisoner.Even though the noble was expected to read the letter at each performance, he always insisted that it should be written out in full.One night, the gaoler decided to play a joke on his colleague to find out if, after so many performances, he had managed to learn the contents of the letter by heart.The curtain went up on the final act of the play and revealed the aristocrat sitting alone behind bars in his dark cell.Just then, the gaoler appeared with the precious letter in his hands.He entered the cell and presented the letter to the aristocrat.But the copy he gave him had not been written out in full as usual.It was simply a blank sheet of paper.The gaoler looked on eagerly, anxious to see if his fellow-actor had at last learnt his lines.The noble stared at the blank sheet of paper for a few seconds.Then, squinting his eyes, he said: 'The light is dim.Read the letter to me.' And he promptly handed the sheet of paper to the gaoler.Finding that he could not remember a word of the letter either, the gaoler replied: 'The light is indeed dim, sire.I must get my glasses.' With this, he hurried off the stage.Much to the aristocrat's amusement, the gaoler returned a few moments later with a pair of glasses and the usual copy of the letter which he proceeded to read to the prisoner.有些剧目十分成功,以致连续上演好几年。这样一来,可怜的演员们可倒霉了。因为他们需要一夜连着一夜地重复同样的台词。人们以为,这些演员一定会把台词背得烂熟,绝不会临场结巴的,但情况却并不总是这样。
有一位名演员曾在一出极为成功的剧目中扮演一个贵族角色,这个贵族已在巴士底狱被关押了20年。在最后一幕中,狱卒手持一封信上场,然后将信交给狱中那位贵族。尽管那个贵族每场戏都得念一遍那封信。但他还是坚持要求将信的全文写在信纸上。
一天晚上,狱卒决定与他的同事开一个玩笑,看看他反复演出这么多场之后,是否已将信的内容记熟了。大幕拉开,最后一幕戏开演,贵族独自一人坐在铁窗后阴暗的牢房里。这时狱卒上场,手里拿着那封珍贵的信。狱卒走进牢房,将信交给贵族。但这回狱卒给贵族的信没有像往常那样把全文写全,而是一张白纸。狱卒热切地观察着,急于想了解他的同事是否记熟了台词。贵族盯着纸看了几秒钟,然后,眼珠一转,说道:“光线太暗,请给我读一下这封信。”说完,他一下子把信递给狱卒。狱卒发现自己连一个字也记不住,于是便说:“陛下,这儿光线的确太暗了,我得去眼镜拿来。”他一边说着,一边匆匆下台。贵族感到非常好笑的是:一会儿工夫,狱卒重新登台,拿来一副眼镜以及平时使用的那封信,然后为那囚犯念了起来。
Three Days to See I have often thought it would be a blessing if each human being were stricken blind and deaf for a few days at some time during his early adult life.Darkness would make him more appreciative of sight;silence would tech him the joys of sound.Now and then I have tested my seeing friends to discover what they see.Recently I was visited by a very good friends who had just returned from a long walk in the woods, and I asked her what she had observed.“Nothing in particular.” she replied.I might have been incredulous had I not been accustomed to such reposes, for long ago I became convinced that the seeing see little.How was it possible, I asked myself, to walk for an hour through the woods and see nothing worthy of note? I who cannot see find hundreds of things to interest me through mere touch.I feel the delicate symmetry of a leaf.I pass my hands lovingly about the smooth skin of a silver birch, or the rough, shaggy bark of a pine.In the spring I touch the branches of trees hopefully in search of a bud the first sign of awakening Nature after her winter's sleep.I feel the delightful, velvety texture of a flower, and discover its remarkable convolutions;and something of the miracle of Nature is revealed to me.Occasionally, if I am very fortunate, I place my hand gently on a small tree and feel the happy quiver of a bird in full song.I am delighted to have the cool waters of a brook rush thought my open finger.To me a lush carpet of pine needles or spongy grass is more welcome than the most luxurious Persian rug.To me the page ant of seasons is a thrilling and unending drama, the action of which streams through my finger tips.我常常想,如果每个人在他成年的早期有一段时间致瞎致聋,那会是一种幸事,黑暗会使他更珍惜视力,寂静会教导他享受声音。
我不时地询问过我的能看见东西的朋友们,以了解他们看到什么。最近,我的一个很好的朋友来看我,她刚从一片森林里散步许久回来,我问她看到了什么,她答道:“没什么特别的。”如果我不是习惯了听到这种回答,我都可能不相信,因为很久以来我已确信这个情况:能看得见的人却看不到什么。
我独自一人,在林子里散步一小时之久而没有看到任何值得注意的东西,那怎么可能呢?我自己,一个不能看见东西的人,仅仅通过触觉,都发现许许多多令我有兴趣的东西。我感触到一片树叶的完美的对称性。我用手喜爱地抚摸过一株白桦那光潮的树皮,或一棵松树的粗糙树皮。春天,我摸着树干的枝条满怀希望地搜索着嫩芽,那是严冬的沉睡后,大自然苏醒的第一个迹象。我抚摸过花朵那令人愉快的天鹅绒般的质地,感觉到它那奇妙的卷绕,一些大自然奇迹向我展现了。有时,如果我很幸运,我把手轻轻地放在一棵小树上,还能感受到一只高声歌唱的小鸟的愉快颤抖,我十分快乐地让小溪涧的凉水穿过我张开的手指流淌过去。对我来说,一片茂密的地毯式的松针叶或松软而富弹性的草地比最豪华的波斯地毯更受欢迎。对我来说四季的壮观而华丽的展示是一部令人激动的、无穷尽的戏剧。这部戏剧的表演,通过我的手指端涌淌出来。
YOUTH
Samuel Ullman Youth is not a time of life;it is a state of mind;it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees;it is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions;it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.Youth means a tempera-mental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease.This often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20.Nobody grows old merely by a number of years.We grow old by deserting our ideals.Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spring back to dust.Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being’s heart the lure of wonder, the unfailing childlike appetite of what’s next and the joy of the game of living.In the center of your heart and my heart there is a wireless station: so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and power from men and from the Infinite, so long are you young.When the aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old, even at 20, but as long as your aerials are up, to catch waves of optimism, there is hope you may die young at 80.青春
塞缪尔·厄尔曼
青春不是年华,而是心境;青春不是桃面、丹唇、柔膝,而是深沉的意志,恢宏的想象,炙热的恋情;青春是生命的深泉在涌流。
青春气贯长虹,勇锐盖过怯弱,进取压倒苟安。如此锐气,二十后生而有之,六旬男子则更多见。年岁有加,并非垂老,理想丢弃,方堕暮年。
岁月悠悠,衰微只及肌肤;热忱抛却,颓废必致灵魂。忧烦,惶恐,丧失自信,定使心灵扭曲,意气如灰。
无论年届花甲,拟或二八芳龄,心中皆有生命之欢乐,奇迹之诱惑,孩童般天真久盛不衰。人人心中皆有一台天线,只要你从天上人间接受美好、希望、欢乐、勇气和力量的信号,你就青春永驻,风华常存。
一旦天线下降,锐气便被冰雪覆盖,玩世不恭、自暴自弃油然而生,即使年方二十,实已垂垂老矣;然则只要树起天线,捕捉乐观信号,你就有望在八十高龄告别尘寰时仍觉希望。
Hello, Chicago.If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible, who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time, who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer
It's the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen, by people who waited three hours and four hours, many for the first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different, that their voices could be that difference.It's the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled.Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been just a collection of inpiduals or a collection of red states and blue states.We are, and always will be, the United States of America.It's the answer that led those who've been told for so long by so many to be cynical and fearful and doubtful about what we can achieve to put their hands on the arc of history and bend it once more toward the hope of a better day.It's been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this date in this election at this defining moment change has come to America.A man touched down on the moon, a wall came down in Berlin, a world was connected by our own science and imagination.And this year, in this election, she touched her finger to a screen, and cast her vote, because after 106 years in America, through the best of times and the darkest of hours, she knows how America can change.Yes we can.America, we have come so far.We have seen so much.But there is so much more to do.So tonight, let us ask ourselves--if our children should live to see the next century;if my daughters should be so lucky to live as long as Ann Nixon Cooper, what change will they see? What progress will we have made?
This is our chance to answer that call.This is our moment.This is our time, to put our people back to work and open doors of opportunity for our kids;to restore prosperity and promote the cause of peace;to reclaim the American dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth, that, out of many, we are one;that while we breathe, we hope.And where we are met with cynicism and doubts and those who tell us that we can't, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people: Yes, we can.Thank you.God bless you.And may God bless the United States of America.您好,芝加哥
如果还有人仍在怀疑美国是否是一个一切皆有可能的国度的话,如果还有人仍在疑虑我们美国的缔造者的梦想是否还存在于我们这个时代的话,如果还有人仍在质疑我们民主的力量的话,今晚你就可以得到答案。
它的答案告诉延伸线,围绕学校和教堂的人数这个民族从未见过的,等待三个小时,四个小时的人们,许多第一次在他们的生活,因为他们认为,这次一定是不同的,他们的声音可能是不同的。
不管你是年轻人还是老年人,是富人还是穷人,是民主党人还是共和党人,是黑人还是白人,也不管你是拉丁美洲人或亚洲人还是本土美国人,更无论你是否为同性变者、是否是残疾人,这是美国人共同的答案。美国人向全世界传递一个声音,那就是我们的选举从不分红州或蓝州。
我们属于,而且永远只属于美利坚合众国。
它的答案,导致这些谁一直在说这么长时间这么多的是玩世不恭和恐惧和怀疑是我们能够实现把他们手中的弧的历史和弯曲再次向希望一个更美好的一天。
虽然等待了很长时间,但在今晚的这一决定性时刻,由于我们在这次选举中的努力,美国终于迎来了变革。
一名男子降落在月球上,墙上下来在柏林,世界是连接我们自己的科学和想象力。
今年,在这次选举中,她谈到她的手指到屏幕上,她和演员投票,因为106年后,在美国,通过最好的时候和最黑暗的时间,她知道怎样可以改变美国。
是我们能够做到。
美国,我们来到迄今。我们已经看到这么多。但有这么多事情要做。因此,今夜,让我们反问一下我们自己,如果我们的孩子能够活到下个世纪;如果我的女儿能够幸运地活得像安-尼克森-库珀那样长,他们将会看到什么样的变化?我们那时将会取得什么样的进步?
这是我们来回答问题的机会,这是我们的时刻。
这是我们的时代,要使我们的人民重新工作并将机会留给我们的子孙;重新恢复繁荣并促进和平;回归我们的美国梦想并重申一个基本事实--在众人之中,我们也是其中一个;当我们呼吸,当我们充满希望的时候,我们遭遇冷嘲热讽和质疑,那些人认为我们无法做到。我们将用一句话来做出回应:不,我们可以!
谢谢您。上帝保佑你。愿上帝保佑美利坚合众国。
We are on a Journey
Wherever you are, and whoever you may be, there is one thing in which you and I are just alike at this moment, and in all the moments of our existence.We are not at rest;we are on a journey.Our life is a movement, a tendency, a steady ceaseless progress toward an unseen goal.We are gaining something, or losing something, everyday.Even when our position and our character seem to remain precisely the same, they are changing.For the mere advance of time is a change.It is not the same thing to have a bare field in January and in July.The season makes the difference.The limitations that are childlike in the children are childish in the man.Everything that we do is a step in one direction or another.Even the failure to do something is in itself a deed.It sets us forward or backward.The action of the negative pole of a magnetic needle is just as real as the action of the positive pole.To decline is to accept — the other alternative.Are you nearer to your port today than you were yesterday? Yes, — you must be a little nearer to some port or other;for since your ship was first launched upon the sea of life, you have never been still for a single moment;the sea is too deep, you could not find an anchorage if you would;there can be no pause until you come into port.无论你身处何处,也不管你是谁,此刻,抑或是我们生命存在的每一个瞬间,有一件事对我们来说都是一样的:我们没有停留;我们正在旅途上。
生命是一种运动,是一种趋势,是一个向着未知目标奋进的无休止的行进。每天,我们有所得亦有所失。我们时时刻刻都在改变,即使我们的状态和角色看上去没有丝毫的变化。只因为时间推移的本身就是一种变化。对于一块荒芜的土地,一月和七月是截然不同的。因为季节的变化让他有所区别。能力的局限在孩子们的身上只是一种天真,而在大人的身上却表现出一种幼稚。
我们做的所有事情都是向着某个方向迈出了一步。即使是失败,本身也是一个作为,左右着我们的进退。磁针的负极作用与正极作用是一样的真实。
对比昨天的你,今天你是否离自己的目标更近了?答案是肯定的,你一定离某个港口更近了些。因为自从你的航船在生命的海洋中起航的那一刻起,你就从来没有停泊过。海水太深了,你寻找不到抛锚之处。你永远都不可能停下来,除非你到达自己的港口。
《海上钢琴师》 经典英文对白
1900: Moonlight city.You just couldn’t see an end to it.It wasn’t what I saw that stopped me ,Max.It was what I didn’t see.Take the piano.Keys begin.Keys end.You know there are 88 of them.They’re not infinite.You’re infinite.And on those keys, the music that you can make is infinite.I like that.That I can live by.But you get me up on that gangway, and you roll them out
in front of me.Keyboards have millions and billions of keys that never end.That keyboard is infinite.Then on that keyboard there’s no music you can play.That’s God’s piano.Did you see the streets?
There’re thousands of them.How do you choose just one?
One woman, one house, one way to die…….You don’t even know where it comes to an end.Aren’t you ever just scared of breaking apart with the
thought of it?
I was born on this ship.And the world passed me by.But 202_ people at a time and there’re old wishes here.But nevermore that fit between prow and stern..You played out your happiness bit on a piano that was not
infinite.I learned to live that way.Land?
Land is a ship too big for me,It’s a woman too beautiful, a bridge too long, perfume to
strong, music I don’t know how to play.I can never get off this ship.At best, I didn’t step off my life.After all, I don’t exist for anyone.偌大的城市,绵延无尽。
并非是我眼见的让我停住了脚步,而是我所看不见的。你能明白吗?
拿钢琴来说。
键盘有始亦有终。
你确切地知道88个键就在那儿,错不了。
它们并不是无限的,而你,才是无限的。你能在键盘上表现的音乐是无限的。
我喜欢这样,我能轻松应付。
而你现在让我走过跳板,走到城市里,等着我的是一个没有尽头的键盘。
我又怎能在这样的键盘上弹奏呢?
那是上帝的键盘啊!
你看到那数不清的街道吗?
如何只选择其中一条去走?
一个共渡一生的女人,一幢属于自己的屋子,一种生与死的方式~~~~
你甚至不知道什么时候才是尽头。
一想到这个,难道不会害怕、会崩溃吗?
我在这艘船上出生。
世事千变万化,然这艘船每次只载202_人。
这里有着希望,但仅在船头和船尾之间。
你可以在有限的钢琴上奏出你的欢欣快乐。
我习惯了这样的生活。
陆地?
陆地对我来说是一艘太大的船,太漂亮的女人,太长的旅程,太浓烈的香水,无从着手的音乐。
我永远无法走下这艘船,这样的话,我宁可舍弃我的生命。
毕竟,我从来没有为任何人存在过
If I Were a Boy Again
If i were a boy again, I would practise perseverance more often, and never give up a thing because it was hard or invonvenient.If we want light, we must conquer darkness.Perseverance can sometimes equal genius in its results.“There are only two creatures,” says a proverb, “who can surmount the pyramides-the eagle and the snail.” If i were a boy again, I would school myself into a habit of attention;I would let nothing come between me and the subject in hand.I would remember that a good skater never tries to skate in two directions at once.The habit of attention becomes part of our life, if we begin early enough.I often hear grown-up people say,“I could not fix my attention on the lecture or book, althought i wished to do so,” and the reason is, the habit was not formed in yourth.If I were to live my life over again, I would pay more attention to the cultivation of memory.I would strengthen that faculty by every possible means, and , on every possible occasion.It takes a little hard work at first to remember things accurately,but memory soon helps itself, and gives very little trouble.It only needs early cultivation to become a power.If i were a boy again, I would look on the cheerful side.Life is very much like a mirrow.If you smile upon it, it smiles back upon you;but if you frown and look doubtful on it, you will get a similar look in return.Inner sunshine warms not only the heart fo the owner, but of all that come in contact with it.Who shuts love out, in turn shall be shut from love.If I were a boy again, I would school myself to say“No” oftenner.I might write pages on the importance of learning very early in life to gain that point where a young boy can stand erect, and decline doing a unworthy act because it is unworthy.If I were a boy again, I would demand of myself more courtesy towards my companions and friends, and indeed towards stangers as well.The smallest courtesies along the rough roads of life are like the little birds that sing to us all winter long, and make that season of ice and snow more endurable.Finally, instead of trying hard to be happy, as if that were the sole purpose of life, I would , if I werea boy again, try still harder to make others happy..假如我又回到了童年
假如我又回到了童年,我做事要更有毅力,决不因为事情艰难或者麻烦而撒手不干,我们要光明,就得征服黑暗。毅力在效果上有时能同天才相比。俗话说:“能登上金字塔的生物,只有两种——鹰和蜗牛。”
假如我又回到了童年,我就要养成专心致志的习惯;有事在手,就决不让任何东西让我分心。我要牢记:优秀的滑冰手从不试图同时滑向两个不同的方向。如果及早养成这种专心致志的习惯,它将成为我们生命的一部分。我常听成年人说:“虽然我希望能集中注意听牧师讲道或读书,但往往做不到。”而原因就是年轻时没有养成这种习惯。
假如我现在能重新开始我的生命,我就要更注意记忆力的培养。我要采取一切可能的办法,并且在一切可能的场合,增强记忆力。要正确无误地记住一些东西,在开始阶段的确要作出一番小小的努力;但要不了多久,记忆力本身就会起作用,使记忆成为轻而易举的事,只需及早培养,记忆自会成为一种才能。
假如我又回到了童年,我就要培养勇气。一位明智的作家曾说过:“世上没有东西比勇气更温文尔雅,也没有东西比懦怯更残酷无情。” 我们常常过多地自寻烦恼,杞人忧天。“怕祸害比祸害本身更可怕。”凡事都有危险,但镇定沉着往往能克服最严重的危险。对一切祸福做好准备,那么就没有什么灾难可以害怕的了。
假如我又回到了童年,我就要事事乐观。生活犹如一面镜子:你朝它笑,它也朝你笑;
如果你双眉紧锁,向它投以怀疑的目光,它也将还以你同样的目光。内心的欢乐不仅温暖了欢乐者自己的心,也温暖了所有与之接触者的心。“谁拒爱于门外,也必将被爱拒诸门外。”
假如我又回到了童年,我就要养成经常说“不”字的习惯。一个少年要能挺得起腰,拒绝做不应该做的事,就因为这事不值得做。我可以写上好几页谈谈早年培养这一点的重要性
假如我又回到了童年,我就要要求自己对伙伴和朋友更加礼貌,而且对陌生人也应如此。在坎坷的生活道路上,最细小的礼貌犹如在漫长的冬天为我们歌唱的小鸟,那歌声使冰天雪地的寒冬变得较易忍受。
最后,假如我又回到了童年,我不会力图为自己谋幸福,好像这就是人生唯一的目的;与之相反,我要更努力为他人谋幸福.No matter what happens, I’ll always be there for you!
In 1989 an 8.2 earthquake almost flattened America, killing over 30,000 people in less than four minutes.In the midst of utter devastation and chaos, a father left his wife safely at home and rushed to the school where his son was supposed to be, only to discover that the building was as flat as a pancake.After the unforgettably initial shock, he remembered the promise he had made to his son: “No matter what, I'll always be there for you!” And tears began to fill his eyes.As he looked at the pile of ruins that once was the school, it looked hopeless, but he kept remembering his commitment to his son.He began to direct his attention towards where he walked his son to class at school each morning.Remembering his son's classroom would be in the back right corner of the building;he rushed there and
started digging through the ruins.As he was digging, other helpless parents arrived, clutching their hearts, saying: “My son!” “My daughter!” Other well-meaning parents tried to pull him off what was left of the school, saying: “It's too late!They're all dead!You can't help!Go home!Come on, face reality, there's nothing you can do!” To each parent he responded with one line: “Are you going to help me now?” And then he continued to dig for his son, stone by stone.The fire chief showed up and tried to pull him off the school's ruins saying, “Fires are breaking out, explosions are happening everywhere.You're in danger.We'll take care of it.Go home.” To which this loving, caring American father asked, “Are you going to help me now?”
The police came and said, “You're angry, anxious and it's over.You're endangering others.Go home.We'll handle it!” To which he replied, “Are you going to help me now?” No one helped.Courageously he went on alone because he needed to know for himself: “Is my boy alive or is he dead?” He dug for eight hours...12 hours...24 hours...36 hours...then, in the 38th hour, he pulled back a large stone and heard his son's voice.He screamed his son's name, “ARMAND!” He heard back, “Dad!?!It's me, Dad!I told the other kids not to worry.I told them that if you were alive, you'd save me and when you saved me, they'd be saved.You promised, No matter what happens, I'll always be there for you!You did it, Dad!” “What's going on in there? How is it?” the father asked.“There are 14 of us left out of 33, Dad.We're scared, hungry, thirsty and thankful you're here.When the building collapsed, it made a triangle, and it saved us.” “Come out, boy!”
“No, Dad!Let the other kids out first, cause I know you'll get me!No matter what happens, I know you'll always be there for me!”
