第一篇：Keep Your Direction 坚持你的方向

What would you do if you failed? Many people may choose to give up. However, the surest way to success is to keep your direction and stick to your goal.

On your way to success, you must keep your direction. It is just like a lamp, guiding you in darkness and helping you overcome obstacles on your way. Otherwise, you will easily get lost or hesitate to go ahead.

Direction means objectives. You can get nowhere without an objective in life.

You can try to write your objective on paper and make some plans to achieve it. In this way, you will know how to arrange your time and to spend your time properly. And you should also have a belief that you are sure to succeed as long as you keep your direction all the time.

如果失败了你会怎么做?很多人可能会选择放弃。然而，要想成功，最可靠的方法就是坚持你的方向和目标。

在通往成功的路上，你必须坚持你的.方向。它就像一盏灯，在黑暗中为你指路，帮助你度过难关。否则，你很容易就会迷失方向或犹豫不前。

方向意味着目标。人生如果没有目标，将一事无成。

你可以试着把你的目标写在纸上，并制定实现目标的计划。这样，你就会懂得如何合理安排时间，如何正确地支配时间。而且你还要有这样的信念：只要你一直坚持自己的方向，你就一定可以成功。

第二篇：

As a high school coach, I did all I could to help my boys win their games. I rooted as hard for victory as they did.

A dramatic incident, however, following a game in which I officiated as a referee, changed my perspective on victories and defeats. I was refereeing a league championship basketball game in New Rochelle, New York, between New Rochelle and Yonkers High. New Rochelle was coached by Dan O'Brien, Yonkers by Les Beck. The gym was crowded to capacity, and the volume of noise made it impossible to hear. The game was well played and closely contested. Yonkers was leading by one point as I glanced at the clock and discovered there were but 30 seconds left to play.

Yonkers, in possession of the ball, passed off — shot — missed. New Rochelle recovered — pushed the ball up court — shot. The ball rolled tantalizingly around the rim and off. The fans shrieked.

New Rochelle, the home team, recovered the ball, and tapped it in for what looked like victory. The tumult was deafening. I glanced at the clock and saw that the game was over. I hadn't heard the final buzzer because of the noise. I checked with the other official, but he could not help me. Still seeking help in this bedlam, I approached the timekeeper, a young man of 17 or so. He said, "Mr. Covino, the buzzer went off as the ball rolled off the rim, before the final tap-in was made."

I was in the unenviable position of having to tell Coach O'Brien the sad news. "Dan," I said, "time ran out before the final basket was tapped in. Yonkers won the game."

His face clouded over. The young timekeeper came up. He said, "I'm sorry, Dad. The time ran out before the final basket."

Suddenly, like the sun coming out from behind a cloud, Coach O'Brien's face lit up. He said, "That's okay, Joe. You did what you had to do. I'm proud of you."

Turning to me, he said, "Al, I want you to meet my son, Joe." The two of them then walked off the court together, the coach's arm around his son's shoulder.

作为一名高中篮球教练，我竭尽全力体帮我的学生在比赛中取得胜利。我全力支持他们在比赛中取胜，他们也刻苦训练。

然而，在一场我所裁判的比赛之后发生了一件富有戏剧性的偶然事件。这件事改变了我对胜败的看法。那是一次蓝球冠军联赛，当时，我在纽约州的新罗谢尔市给新罗谢尔和扬克斯两个队之间的比赛作裁判。新罗谢尔队的教练是丹·奥布赖恩，而扬克斯队的教练是莱斯·贝克。体育馆内座无虚席，呼声震天。比赛顺利进行，两队比分接近，扬克斯队仅以一分的优势领先。我看了一下时钟，距离比赛结束仅剩三十秒。

扬克斯队控球在手，传球、投篮，但是没投中。新罗谢尔队重新控球，将球向场地的另一个方向传球，然后投篮。观众急切地盯着球，球沿着篮球筐边急速旋转，最终又落了下来。球迷们尖声喊叫。

主队新罗谢尔队重新把球夺过来，把球拨进篮筐，似乎已经赢得了比赛的胜利。人群的呼喊声震耳欲聋。我看了一下时钟，已经过了比赛结束时间。由于声音太大，我没有听到终场信号声。我向另外一名工作人员核对时间，但是他说不清楚。

我仍然在混乱中求助，我走近计时员——一个大约17岁的年轻人。他告诉我：“科维诺先生，当球滚出篮筐时，终场信号发出了，在最后球又被拨进篮筐之前。”

“丹，在最后那个球被拨进篮筐之前，时间已经到了。”我无可奈何地告诉奥布赖恩教练，“扬克斯队赢了。”

他脸色阴沉了下来。那个年轻的计时员走上前，说：“爸爸，对不起。在最后一个球投中之前时间就已经到了。”突然间，奥布赖恩教练的脸色就像太阳拨开了乌云，转晴了，他说：“没关系，乔。你做了你应该做的，我为你感到骄傲。”

他把脸转向我，说："埃尔，我介绍一下我的儿子，乔。"

奥布赖恩教练把胳膊搭在儿子的肩膀上，两个人一起离开了球场。

Han Mei is my best friend. We know each other since we were born. Because we are twins. She is my elder sisiter. Like most twin sisters, we look almost the same. The most easy way to distinguish us is that she has a scar on her arm. It is my fault. When we are six years old, we played beside the stair, and then I pushed her down the stair accidently. She got hurt but not blame me at all. That is the history of her scar. Since then our parents always recognize us with that mark. Han Mei is better than me in study. So, sometimes I was criticized by our mother for failing the exam, she will pretend me to receive the criticism, without making my mother see the mark. Irsquo; m so thankful for this. So sometimes I will pretend her to take part in the piano class, as she is not interested in it. It is so interesting to play such game.

韩梅是我最好的朋友，我们从出生开始就彼此认识了。因为我们是双胞胎。她是我的姐姐。就像很多的'双胞胎姐妹一样，我们长得几乎一模一样。最容易区分我们两个的方法是她在手臂上有一个伤疤。那都是我的错。在我们六岁的时候我们在楼梯旁边玩之后我们不小心把她推下楼梯。她受伤了，但是一点都没有怪我。这就是她的伤疤的来历。自从那时候起，我们的父母总是通过那个伤疤来区分我们。韩梅在学习上比我好。所以有时候我考试不及格被妈妈批评，她就会挡住那个标志冒充我去接受批评。我很感激她。所以有时候我也会冒充她去帮她参加钢琴课，因为她对钢琴一点都不感兴趣。玩这样的游戏真的是太有趣了。

Today is Monday. I got up at 6:30 a.m.. Then I washed my face and ate breakfast. Milk, bread, egg and porridge are my favorites. My mother always gets up early and cooks for me. This morning, I drank a cup of milk and ate bread and an egg. After breakfast, I went to school at 7:00. School started at 7:50 and I usually get there at 7:30. I had English, history, math and geography in the morning. I liked English very much, because my English teacher is very nice. After school in the morning, I went home at 11:30. Then I ate lunch and then had a short rest. I went to school at 14:00. In the afternoon, I had four classes: music, biology, and two periods of Chinese. I liked Chinese, too, because Chinese is our national language and it#39;s very beautiful. After school, I went home for dinner. After dinner, I spent half and an hour on my homework. Then I watched TV and played computer games.

今天是星期一，我早上6点半就起床了。然后我就洗脸吃早餐。牛奶、面包、鸡蛋和粥是我的最爱。我妈妈经常起得很早给我做早餐。今天早上，我喝了一杯牛奶，吃了一块面包和一个鸡蛋。吃过早餐，我7点去学校。学校7点50开始上课，我通常7点半到学校。我们上午有英语、历史、数学和地理课。我很喜欢英语因为我的英语老师人很好。上午放学后，我11点半回家。然后吃午饭，并休息一会。2点钟我就去学校了。下午我们有四节课：音乐、生物和两节语文课。我也喜欢语文课，因为汉语是我们的国语，而且很好听。放学后，我就回家吃晚饭了。吃过晚饭，我花一个半小时做作业，然后就看电视和玩游戏。

One day one of God messengers descended to the world and happened to meet an eminent monk who was telling fortunes for two boys. The monk pointed at one of the boys sayingldquo;Number One Scholar,rdquo; and at another oneldBeggar.一天，上帝的一个使者来到了人间，他遇到了一位高僧，这位高僧正在为两个孩子占卜前程。高僧指着其中一个孩子说状元，然后指着另一个孩子说乞丐

Twenty years later, the messenger came down to the world again. When he saw the previous two boys, he was puzzled about the outcome: the originalldquo;Number One Scholarrdquo;now became a beggar while the originalldquo;Beggarrdquo;turned into a Number One Scholar instead.20年后，上帝的使者又来到了人间，看到了先前的那两个孩子，结果让他百思不得其解：当初的ldquo;状元rdquo;如今成了乞丐，而当初的ldquo;乞丐rdquo;反而成了状元。

So the messenger went to ask God.于是，使者去问上帝。

God answered,ldquo;I endow everyone with talent, which only decides one third of his destiny while the rest lies in how he grasps it.rdquo;上帝说：ldquo;我赋予每个人的天分只决定他命运的三分之一，其余的则在于他如何去把握。

Life is just like this.人生就是这样。
