　　適合晨讀的.英語(yǔ)美文1.Happiness

　　Many people think that when they become rich and successful,happiness will naturally follow.Let me tell you that nothing is further from the truth.The world is full of very rich peoplewho are as miserable as if they were living in hell.

　　We have read stories about movie stars who committed suicide or died from drugs.Quite clearly, money is not the only answer to all problems.Wealth obtained through dishonest means does not bring happiness.Lottery winnings do not bring happiness.Gamble winnings do not bring happiness.

To my mind, the secret to happiness lies in your successful work,There is no use sayingin your contribution towards others'happiness and in your wealth you have earned through your own honest effort.

　　If you obtain wealth through luck or dishonest means,you will know that it is ill earned money.

　　If you get your money by taking advantage of others or by hurting others,you will not be happy with it.

　　You will think you are a base person.Long-term happiness is based on honesty, productive work, contribution, and self-esteem.

　　Happiness is not an end; it is a process.It is a continuous process of honest, productive workwhich makes a real contribution to othersand makes you feel you are a useful, worthy person.As Dr. Wayne wrote, “There is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way.”There is no use saying“Some day when I achieve these goals,when I get a car, build a house and own my own business,then I will be really happy.”

　　Life just does not work that way.If you wait for certain things to happenand depend on external circumstances of life to make you happy,you will always feel unfulfilled.There will always be something missing.

　　適合晨讀的英語(yǔ)美文2.The English Character

　　To other Europeans, the best known quality of the British,and in particular of the English, is "reserved".A reserved person is one who does not talk very much to strangers,does not show much emotion, and seldom gets excited.

　　It is difficult to get to know a reserved person:he never tells you anything about himself,and you may work with him for years without ever knowing where he lives,how many children he has, and what his interests are.

　　English people tend to be like that.Closely related to English reserve is English modesty.Within their hearts, the English are perhaps no less conceited than anybody else,but in their relations with others they value at least a show of modesty.

　　Self-praise is felt to be impolite.If a person is, let us say,very good at tennis and someone asks him if he is a good player,he will seldom reply “Yes,”because people will think him conceited.He will probably give an answer like,“I'm not bad,” or “I think I'm very good,” or “Well, I’m very keen on tennis.”Even if he had managed to reach the finals in last year's local championships,he would say it in such a way as to suggest that it was only due to a piece of good luck.

　　Since reserve and modesty are part of his own nature,the typical English tends to expect them in others.He secretly looks down on more excitable nations,and likes to think of himself as more reliable than they are.He doesn't trust big promises and open shows of feelings,especially if they are expressed in flowery language.He doesn't trust self-praise of any kind.This applies not only to what other people may tell him about themselves orally,but to the letters they may write to him.

　　To those who are fond of flowery expressions,the Englishman may appear uncomfortably cold.

　　適合晨讀的英語(yǔ)美文3.Exercise

　　A state of physical and mental health allows you to take part in exercise comfortably and enjoyably so that it doesn’t hurt,so that you can look forward to it, and feel good afterwards.

　　If you are feeling down, exercise may help pick you up.

　　Although researchers disagree on this issue,one review of past studies found that long-term exercise,especially when it includes long-lasting, strenuous training sessions,has about as much of an effect on depression as psychotherapy.

　　Working out helps you deal with stress in your job, relationships or any area of life — possibly because exercise is a form of stress itself and helps condition your body to deal with it.When Australian researchers compared people who did 30 minutes of aerobic exercise three times a week to those who practiced progressive relaxation techniques,they found that the former group responded better to acute stress and had lower blood pressure.

　　Even a little exercise can make you think less anxiously.

　　Studies have shown that any amount of exercise,from a brisk 10 minutes'walk to an intense aerobics or weightlifting session seems to decrease feelings of anxiety.

　　Working out regularly may make you smarter now and lessen the possibility that you’ll lose brain function as you age.

　　According to a recent animal study at the University of Illinois, exercise can actually help the brain develop new cells.

　　In several studies, regular weight training or aerobic exercise was shown to improve the quality and duration of sleep.

　　Naturally, this can make you less fatigued and be able to function better during the day.

　　Like meditation, hobbies or any other leisure activity,exercise gives your mind a needed break from everyday thoughts, responsibilities and commitments.

　　Finally, there’s one more reason to keep exercising.

　　When you work out regularly, your body simply functions better — you are better, healthier and less likely to suffer painful physical conditions.

　　And that just plain feels good.

　　Every four years, the best athletes from countries around the world come together in the spirit of peace and friendship to compete in the Olympic Games.

　　With the lighting of the Olympic flame the games begin — the Olympic spirit kept alive.

　　That flame has been brought many thousands of miles by relay runners all the way from Olympia,in Western Greece, where the ceremony began 2700 years ago.

　　This simple ceremony, and the lighting of the torch,is the spark that renews the Olympic flame wherever the games are played.

　　The games symbolized the early Greeks’ ideal of man’s unity,their vision of peace, and of human perfection.

　　The Olympic began as a religious ceremony.

　　The First Games in recorded history took place in the year 776 BC.

　　This was the time of the Western Zhou period in China.

　　All the Greek city-states participated.

　　States at war with each other would end hostilities for the duration of the Games.

　　The Olympic motto is universally accepted as “Swifter, Higher, Stronger.”

　　One athlete from the games host country takes an oath at the Opening Ceremony on behalf of all the competing athletes:

　　"In the name of all competitors, I promise that we shall take part in these Olympic games,respecting and abiding by the rules which govern them,in the true spirit of sportsmanship, for the glory of sport and the honor of our teams.”

　　In ancient times,winners were crowned with wreaths of the sacred olive.

　　Their names were proclaimed throughout the Greek city-states.

　　Things have not changed much in this regard.

　　Today, first place winners are awarded gold medals,second place winners, silver, and third place gets the bronze.

　　And, as in ancient times, Olympic stars become internationally famous.

　　Let us hope that this living experience of peace and friendship between all the peoples of the world that began in Olympia, in ancient Greece, will continue for many centuries to come.

　　5.All Ever Really Needed to Know I Learned in Kindergarten

　　Most of what I really need to know about how to live and what to do and how to be,I learned in kindergarten.

　　Wisdom was not at the top of the graduate mountain,but there in the sandbox at nursery school.

　　These are the things I learned:

　　Share everything. Play fair. Don’t hit people.

　　Put things back where you found them.

　　Clean up your own mess.

　　Don’t take things that aren’t yours.

　　Say you’re sorry when you hurt somebody.

　　Wash your hands before you eat.

　　Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you.

　　Live a balanced life.

　　Learn some and think some and draw and paint and sing and dance and play and work every day some.

　　Take a nap every afternoon.

　　When you go out into the world, watch for traffic, hold hands and stick together.

　　Be aware of wonder.

　　Remember the little seed in the plastic cup?

　　The roots go down and the plant goes up and nobody really knows how or why,but we are all like that.

　　Goldfish and hamsters and white mice and even the little seed in the plastic cup — they all die. So do we.

　　And then remember the book about Dick and Jane and the first word you learned, the biggest word of all:
