学习啦在线学习网 The Chinese Horoscope
学习啦在线学习网 The Chinese calendar contains cycles of twelve years. A different animal represents each year. The first year of the cycle is the year of the rat. After that comes the year of the ox, the year of the tiger, the rabbit, the dragon, the snake, the horse, the goat, the monkey, the rooster, the dog and the pig. After the pig the cycle begins again.
学习啦在线学习网 No one actually knows why the Chinese named the years in honor of these animals but there are several interesting legends which explain the cycle of animals. One story is that once, long ago, a Chinese King invited all the animals to his palace to celebrate the New Year. Only twelve animals accepted the invitation and came to the party. The first animal to arrive was the rat and the next was the ox. The other ten animals came soon after. To reward the animals, the King named a year for each animal.
Now many people say that if a person is born in the year of a certain animal he or she is like that animal. Find the year of your birth on the illustration and then read about the animal your year is named for.
Don't be angry if your year is a snake or a horse or a pig. In the Chinese horoscope all the animals are wise and important. No animal of the horoscope is considered dumb or ugly or evil. The Chinese symbols or characters in the center of the illustration mean "birth" and "alike". They are pronounced "sheng" and "hsiao" in Chinese.

Luck hat幸运帽
Dear Arizona,
学习啦在线学习网 My brother is so lucky. Good stuff is always happening to him. Do you believe in luck? And if so, how can I get more of it?
学习啦在线学习网 —Looking for luck in Louisiana(路易斯安那州)
Dear Looking,
I was eating breakfast with one hand, petting my cat, Cow, with the other, and reading the back of the cereal(谷类食品) box, when—"YOUCH!" I screamed. "Why'd you pinch me?"
学习啦在线学习网 "You're not wearing green," said my little brother, Tex. "Everyone knows you get pinched if you don't wear green on Saint Patrick's Day!"
学习啦在线学习网 "It's true," said my little sister, Indi.
学习啦在线学习网 I was mostly mad about getting pinched, but also a tiny bit glad about being reminded that it was Saint Patrick's Day.
学习啦在线学习网 I panicked(恐慌) . "What am I going to do? I don't have time to change. I'll get pinched all day long!"
学习啦在线学习网 "Well," Tex said, taking the old green baseball cap off his head, "you could borrow my lucky hat."
学习啦在线学习网 "But it's your favorite!" I said.
"I know," said Tex. "Just promise to give it back after school."
"No problem," I said, glancing in the mirror on my way out the door. "I look like agoofball(傻瓜，镇静剂) in this thing!"
"A lucky goofball!" said Tex.
"Humm." I grabbed my backpack. "Thanks, I think."
学习啦在线学习网 Now, before I go on, you should know that I'm not an overly superstitious(迷信的) person. I don't believe that thirteen is an unlucky number or that breaking a mirror brings seven years of bad luck.
I definitely don't freak out(崩溃) if a black cat crosses my path. And when it comes to things like lucky four-leaf clovers(幸运草，三叶草) and lucky pennies, I just never believed in them.
Anyway, I was racing to catch the school bus, and I saw a dollar on thesidewalk(人行道) ! I looked around to see if anyone was looking for it, but people just kept stepping on the poor thing, so I decided to rescue it. I'd found pennies andnickels(镍币) before, but never a dollar!
学习啦在线学习网 Then, I didn't miss the bus, because the bus was even later than me——which never happens!
My luck didn't stop there. Carlos and Jackson were sitting behind me, quizzing each other on spelling words. I turned around and said, "You guys know that test isn't till tomorrow, right?"
"It got switched to this morning," said Jackson. "Remember? There's some assembly tomorrow."
学习啦在线学习网 "That's right-I totally forgot!" I said. "I'm so lucky that I sat in front of you. If I hadn't , I wouldn't have found out till it was too late!"
学习啦在线学习网 I got out my spelling words, studied all the way to school. And ended up acing the test!
学习啦在线学习网 The minute I got home, I gave Tex a gigantic hug.
"This is the luckiest hat in the world," I said. "I'm never taking it off!"
"But you promised to give it back!" said Tex.
"I know, but…" I pretended to try to pull the hat off my head. "I think it's stuck."
"It is not!" said Tex.
"Please-oh-please let me borrow your lucky hat for one more day!" I begged. "Tomorrow I'm auditioning for(面试学习啦在线学习网，试演) the school play, and I need every bit of help I can get."
"OK," said Tex. "One more day. But you'd better be really nice to me."
学习啦在线学习网 "I will," I agreed. "In fact-here you can have my lucky dollar!"
学习啦在线学习网 Tex let out a whoop, then started dancing around and waving his gift in the air.
学习啦在线学习网 The next day turned out to be super lucky. My audition couldn't have gone better.
学习啦在线学习网 "Wow, Arizona!" said my friend Mareya. "I can't believe how amazingly you just did! You are so getting a major part in this play!"
"Thanks! You did really great, too!" I said. "But honestly, the only reason I did OK is because I had my lucky hat."
学习啦在线学习网 "What lucky hat?" asked Mareya.
学习啦在线学习网 "This one," I said, reaching into my backpack, where I thought I'd put Tex's hat since I couldn't wear it for the audition. But it wasn't there! "Oh no!" I cried. "It's gone! What am I going to tell Tex?"
Mareya helped me look for it. Luckily, we found Tex's hat in my locker. Also luckily, I discovered that I could be lucky with or without a goofy-looking cap in my possession.
学习啦在线学习网 "So it wasn't the hat," said Mareya. "This is just a wild guess, but maybe it was all those hours you spent practicing over the past month."
"Hmm," I said. "It's possible."
So, dear Looking, I guess you could say that luck is a combination of being prepared, believing in yourself, … and maybe just a tiny bit of magic! In other words, luck may come your way, but you have to be ready for it when it does!
学习啦在线学习网 Ciao(你好，再见) for now
Arizona
关于英语美文摘抄篇三
学习啦在线学习网 感恩的手，感恩的心
学习啦在线学习网 Sometimes we need to remind ourselves that thankfulness is indeed a virtue.
学习啦在线学习网 —William Bennett
学习啦在线学习网 Thanksgiving Day was near. The first grade teacher gave her class a fun assignment—to draw a picture of something for which they were thankful.
学习啦在线学习网 Most of the class might be considered economically(经济地，节俭地)disadvantaged, but still many would celebrate the holiday with turkey and other traditional goodies(好吃的东西，老妇人) of the season. These, the teacher thought, would be the subjects of most of her students’ art. And they were.
学习啦在线学习网 But Douglas made a different kind of picture. Douglas was a different kind of boy. He was the teacher's true child of misery(痛苦，悲惨) , frail(虚弱的，脆弱的) and unhappy. As other children played at recess, Douglas was likely to stand close by her side. One could only guess at the pain Douglas felt behind those sad eyes.
学习啦在线学习网 Yes, his picture was different. When asked to draw a picture of something for which he was thankful, he drew a hand. Nothing else. Just an empty hand.
学习啦在线学习网 His abstract(抽象的，深奥的) image captured the imagination of his peers(平辈，同事) . Whose hand could it be? One child guessed it was the hand of a farmer, because farmers raise turkeys. Another suggested a police officer, because the police protect and care for people. Still others guessed it was the hand of God, for God feeds us. And so the discussion went—until the teacher almost forgot the young artist himself.
学习啦在线学习网 When the children had gone on to other assignments, she paused at Douglas’ desk, bent down, and asked him whose hand it was. The little boy looked away andmurmured(喃喃地说，细语) , "It's yours, teacher."
学习啦在线学习网 She recalled the times she had taken his hand and walked with him here or there, as she had the other students. How often had she said, "Take my hand, Douglas, we'll go outside." Or, "Let me show you how to hold your pencil." Or, "Let's do this together." Douglas was most thankful for his teacher's hand.
学习啦在线学习网 Brushing aside a tear, she went on with her work.
学习啦在线学习网 The story speaks of more than thankfulness. It says something about teachers teaching and parents parenting and friends showing friendship, and how much it means to the Douglases of the world. They might not always say thanks, but they'll remember the hand that reaches out(伸出) .
