篇二：The Story of Two Pots

The Story of Two Pots

A water bearer had two large pots, hung on either end of a pole that he carried across his neck. One pot had a hole in it, while the other was perfect and always full of water at the end of a long walk from the stream to the house; the cracked pot only arrived half-full.

For two years the bearer had only been able to take one and a half pots of water to his house.

Of course, the perfect pot was proud of itself. The poor cracked pot was ashamed of itself. It spoke to the water bearer one day by the stream, “I am ashamed of myself, and I want to say sorry to you.” “Why?” asked the bearer, “What are you ashamed of?”

“I have been able to take only half of my load because this hole in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to your house. Because of this, you have to do all the work, and you don’t get full value from your efforts.” the pot said.

The water bearer said, “As we return to the house, I want you to notice all of the beautiful flowers along the path.”

Indeed, as they went up the hill, the cracked pot noticed the sun warming the beautiful wild flowers on the side of the path, and this cheered it a little. But at the end of the walk, the cracked pot still felt bad because it had leaked out half of its load, and so again the pot said sorry to the bearer for its failure.

The bearer said to the pot, “Did you notice that there were flowers only on your side of the path, but not on the other pot’s side? That’s because I have always known about your flaw, and I took advantage of it. I planted flower seeds on your side of the path, and every day while we walked back from the stream, you’ve watered them. For two years, I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to make my room beautiful. Without you being just the way what you are, I wouldn’t have the beautiful flowers.”

Everyone has flaws. We’re all cracked pots in some way. But if we allow ourselves to take advantage of our flaws, nothing goes to waste. Don’t be afraid of your flaws. Get to know your flaws and you too can be successful.

两只水桶

一位挑水工有两只木桶，挂在肩上扁担的两头。一只水桶身上有个破洞，而另一只水桶完美无缺，从小溪挑到家里的水总是装得满满的；而那只破桶呢，到家时只剩下半桶水。在两年的时间里，挑水工只能挑着一桶半水回家。

不用说，那只好桶对自己的表现非常自豪。而那只破桶呢，却感到十分羞愧。有一天，他在小溪边对挑水工说，“我为自己感到羞愧，我想向你道歉。”

“为什么道歉呢？”挑水工问，“你为什么感到羞愧？”

“我一直只能装半桶水，因为我身上的漏洞使得水在你回家的路上漏出来，这样你的劳动就得不到应有的回报。”破桶说。

挑水工说，“回家的时候，请你注意看道路旁边的那些漂亮野花。”

实际上，当他们上山的时候，破桶就已经注意到阳光温暖地照耀着的那些野花了，这使他的精神稍稍振作了一些。但快回到家的时候，破桶又感到难过了，因为他又漏掉了半桶水，他只好再一次为自己的过失向挑水工道歉。

挑水工对破桶说，“你注意到了吗，只有你所在的道路那侧才有花，而另一侧却没有。那是因为我早就了解你的缺点，并对它加以利用。我在你所在的道路那侧撒了些花种，每天当我们从溪边回来的时候，你都给它们浇水。整整两年时间里，我都能采摘野花，装饰我的房间。要不是你现在这个样子，我就不会拥有这些漂亮的花了。”

每个人都有缺点。从某种程度上说，我们都是一只破桶。但是如果我们能够利用好自己的缺点，就能人尽其才，物尽其用。不要害怕有缺陷。认识自己的缺陷所在，你也会成功！

篇三：my side of the mountain

My Side of the Mountain（资料）

My Side of the Mountain is a 1959 book by about a boy who learns about nature and himself. The book won the Award and was loosely adapted into a .

Jean Craighead George (b. in ) is an . She lives in .

Jean Craighead George has written over eighty popular books for , Most of her books deal with topics related to the environment and the natural world. While mostly writing children's fiction, she has also written at least two guides to cooking with wild foods, and an autobiography, Journey Inward.

Born in Washington, D.C. and raised in a family of , Jean George has centered her life around and . George graduated from with degrees in both English and science in 1940. Every kid thinks about running away at one point or another; few get farther than the end of the block. Young Sam Gribley gets to the end of the block and keeps going--all the way to the Catskill Mountains of upstate New York. There he sets up house in a huge hollowed-out tree, with a falcon and a weasel for companions and his wits as his tool for survival. In a spellbinding, touching, funny account, Sam learns to live off the land, and grows up a little in the process. Blizzards, hunters, loneliness, and fear all battle to drive Sam back to city life. But his desire for freedom, independence, and adventure is stronger. No reader will be immune to the compulsion to go right out and start whittling fishhooks and befriending raccoons.

Sam Gribley from his home in in the month of . He leaves with only a , a ball of cord, an , $40 which he had saved selling magazine subscriptions and a and set which he had purchased at a Chinese merchant's store in the city.

On his first night, Sam gets on a truck north of New York in search of his family's abandoned and overgrown in the . He hitchhikes to the Catskills, and spends a lonely first night in his small lean-to (a small

tent-like structure that consists of a hemlock bow and a stump). He catches five , but fails to start a to cook them.

In the morning he climbs a hill and discovers a small cottage near his cold and uncomfortable camp, the residence of an old man named Bill. His host shows the inexperienced boy how to prepare and cook his fish, and - more importantly - how to make proper use of the flint and steel with which Sam had been unable to make a fire the night before.

Finding the Gribley farm, Sam establishes a dwelling in the trunk of an immense old hemlock tree, using hand-axe and fire to expand a natural hollow into a home with space for a bed, stores of gathered foodstuffs, and even a small fireplace.

As the summer passes, his skills and knowledge of the mountains and of survival

grows. He learns to live off the land by hunting small game and and by gathering a wide variety of edible plants and nuts. He makes clothes, bedding, and other useful things from deer hide and fur.

Sam lives a free life in the wilderness for more than a year with his pet, a named Frightful, whom he had captured as a chick and hand-reared. His neighbors in the forest include the free-ranging musteline "Baron" , and a . Sam also encounters and "rescues" a lost school teacher whom he nicknames "Bando" because he'd first thought the teacher had been a runaway when they they'd met. Bando and Sam spend the summer together, at the close of which Bando departs, promising to return at Christmas.

During the winter, Sam's father comes out to the Gribley farm in search of him. Sam, his father, and Bando enjoy a wilderness dinner, after which the visitors bid farewell, both men approving the youngster's independence and determination to continue his life on the mountain.

After winter's end, Sam finds himself carving out a nearby tree as a "guest house", reflecting after a bit that his work to such a purpose was something of a contradiction of the reason he'd decided to come to the wild in the first place.

At that point, he hears his father, and then his mother, at the foot of the mountain, discovering that his parents had decided to come as a family - with all of Sam's younger siblings - to the old homestead, away from the city.

As the book closes, the Gribley family begins building the house that will shelter them all in the years to come.

Do we organize our thoughts in different ways because of the culture we belong to? If it is so, how can we describe those differences?

The idea of different ―cultural thought patterns‖ was first put forward by an American professor, Robert Kaplan, in the 1960s. He had been looking at the writing style of non-native students at his university in California. He found that the writing styles changed systematically（系统地）, according to the cultural origins of the students.

For example, in his opinion, native speakers of English usually went ―straight to the point‖ when writing an article. However, other students did not. Speakers of Semitic languages (such as Arabic and

篇五：我身边的中国故事

My side of the story of Chinese story

Teacher, dear students! Today, I am honored to stand on this sacred flag of the speech, full of excitement. The topic of my speech is my side of the story of Chinese story

Filial piety is Chinese traditional etiquette, is a continuation of the ancient virtues. From ancient to modern times, people often say, filial piety. Filial piety, is the root of all the beautiful things, filial piety is the foundation, is the beginning of the industry. When I was young, I do not understand the unsuspectingly, the spirit of filial piety. Gradually, I grew up, and slowly learned to use love to capture the eyes of the side of the story of filial piety. The life of every day, mom and dad teach by precept and example of Chinese filial piety. They again hit every word and action my young heart, let my lifelong benefit.

My father is an often relatives "filial son, loud shouts of applause". Grandma in the country more than 70 years of age, also reluctant to close the business for decades a small grocery store, although not much business, grandma every day still stick to their posts, never tired. Because worry about grandma body, my mother and aunts exert all over skill, carrot and stick to persuade grandma closed rest, but failed to dispel the grandma's enthusiasm. As long as Dad, quietly to help grandma in the grocery store is installed on air conditioning and moved to TV, clean air, make the reasonable timetable for grandma, grandma like a child exposed bright smile. I asked my father, why not directly to persuade my grandmother to close it? My father said to me: "filial piety, that is to shun her heart, Grandma happy, the body will be healthy." In my opinion, my father is a pet.

Dad not only for grandparents grandparents so obey in every way, other elders.

Every car shuttle elders, I often see dad have a habit of action, when they got out of the car, he is always the first to extend large hands resting on the door to prevent their head knocked on the door, is such a small action, let my heart warm current surges.

It makes me think of "filial piety" in several stories: "Pro taste Decoction" in the Han Emperor Liu in the name of filial piety kernel, smell in the world, serve the mother never slack. "One hundred meters in their negative" you often do mining wild herbs meals, but from the outside in negative meters serve parents home. Rather than "," tiger choke Yang Xiang to save his father, completely ignoring his own safety, sprang forward, exhaustion systemic strength strangling tigers throat, the tigers finally put down father ran away and so on these invariably embodies their innermost Xiaogan, let us in to learn how to care about, to serve and to be grateful to our parents.

The sender of filial piety comes from each of us. We should learn to understand the needs of parents and the parents. Parents pay, we see in the eyes, remember in the heart. They may not ask us to give them anything, just hope that we will have better than they are, they are all for us, for our concern, for fear that they do not do, this is the parents - our most lovable person. Therefore, we should know how to share their parents, let them rest assured us, less to worry about us. Students, let us often cherish a thankful heart, when mom and dad tired for their Chuichui back, pour a cup of tea; in mom and dad busy and help them to do a few small things; in learning, conscientious, to reward outstanding achievements parents, so that parents feel our love, like crows feeding, with their greatest strength is filial piety the parents, a filial child.

Will use love to capture the eyes of the side of the story of filial piety. The life of every day, mom and dad teach by precept and example of Chinese filial piety. They
