The school was across thestreetfrom our home and I would often watch the kids as theyplayedring recess. A sea of children, and yet to me, she stoodout fromthem all.I remr the first day I saw her playing basketball.Iwatched in wonder as she ran circles around the other kids.Shemanaged to shoot jump shots just over their heads and into thenet.The boys always tried to stop her but no one could.I begantonotice her at other times, basketball in hand, playing alone.Shewould practice 2)dribbling and shooting over and overagain,sometimes until dark. One day I asked her why she practicedsomuch. She looked directly in my eyes and without a momentofhesitation she said, 「I want to go to college. The only way Icango is if I get a scholarship. I like basketball. I decided thatifI were good enough, I would get a scholarship. I am going toplaycollege basketball. I want to be the best. My Daddy told me ifthedream is big enough, the facts don』t count.」 Then she smiledandran towards the court to 3)recap the routine I had seen overandover again.Well, I had to give it to her—she was determined.Iwatched her through those junior high years and into highschool.Every week, she led her 4)varsity team to victory.One day inhersenior year, I saw her sitting in the grass, head cradled inherarms. I walked across the street and sat down in the coolgrassbeside her. Quietly I asked what was wrong. 「Oh, nothing,」came asoft reply. 「I am just too short.」 The coach told her that at5』5」she would probably never get to play for a top ranked team—muchless offered a scholarship—so she should stop dreamingaboutcollege.She was heartbroken and I felt my own throat tightenas Isensed her disappointment. I asked her if she had talked to herdadabout it yet.She lifted her head from her hands and told methather father said those coaches were wrong. They just didnotunderstand the power of a dream. He told her that if shereallywanted to play for a good college, if she truly wantedascholarship, that nothing could stop her except one thing — herownattitude. He told her again, 「If the dream is big enough, thefactsdon』t count.」The next year, as she and her team went totheNorthern California Championship game, she was seen by acollege5)recruiter. She was indeed offered a scholarship, a fullride, toa Division I, 6)NCAA women』s basketball team. She was goingto getthe college ecation that she had dreamed of and workedtoward forall those years.It』s true: If the dream is big enough,the factsdon』t count. 我以前常常從廚房的窗戶看到她穿梭於操場上的一群男孩子中間，她顯得那麼矮小。 學校在我家的街對面，我可以經常看到孩子們在下課時間打球。盡管有一大群的孩子，但我覺得她跟其他的孩子截然不同。 我記得第一天看到她打籃球的情景。看著她在其他孩子旁邊兜來轉去，我感到十分驚奇。她總是盡力地跳起投籃，球恰好越過那些孩子的頭頂飛入籃筐。那些男孩總是拚命地阻止她，但沒有人可以做得到。 我開始注意到她有時候一個人打球。她一遍遍地練習運球和投籃，有時直到天黑。有一天我問她為什麼這么刻苦地練習。她直視著我的眼睛，不加思索地說:「我想上大學。只有獲得獎學金我才能上大學。我喜歡打籃球，我想只要我打得好，我就能獲得獎學金。我要到大學去打籃球。我想成為最棒的球員。我爸爸告訴我說，心中有目標，風雨不折腰。」說完她笑了笑，跑向籃球場，又開始我之前見過的一遍又一遍的練習。 嘿，我服了她了——她是下定了決心了。我看著她這些年從初中升到高中。每個星期，她帶領的學校籃球代表隊都能夠獲勝。 高中那會兒的某一天，我看見她坐在草地上，頭埋在臂彎里。我穿過街道，坐到她旁邊的清涼的草地上。我輕輕地問出什麼事了。「哦，沒什麼，」她輕聲回答，「只是我太矮了。」原來籃球教練告訴她，以五英尺五英寸的身材，她幾乎是沒有機會到一流的球隊去打球的——更不用說會獲得獎學金了——所以她應該放棄想上大學的夢想。 她很傷心，我也覺得自己的喉嚨發緊，因為我感覺到了她的失望。我問她是否與她的爸爸談過這件事。 她從臂彎里抬起頭，告訴我，她爸爸說那些教練錯了。他們根本不懂得夢想的力量。他告訴她，如果真的想到一個好的大學去打籃球，如果她真的想獲得獎學金，任何東西也不能阻止她，除非她自己不願意。他又一次跟她說：「心中有目標，風雨不折腰。」 第二年，當她和她的球隊去參加北加利福尼亞州冠軍賽時，她被一位大學的招生人員看中了。她真的獲得了獎學金，一個全面資助的獎學金，並且進入美國全國大學體育協會其中一隊女子甲組籃球隊。她將接受她曾夢想並為之奮斗多年的大學教育。 是的，心中有目標，風雨不折腰。

1，If I Had My Life to Live Over/如果我能再活一次

I would have gone to bed when I was sick instead of pretending the earth would go into a holding pattern if I weren't there for the day.

生病的時候我就卧床休息，不會假裝自己一天不工作，地球就會停止轉動。

I would have burned the pink candle sculpted like a rose before it melted in storage.

我要將雕成玫瑰花狀的粉紅蠟燭點上，而不讓它在閑置中溶化。

I would have eaten the popcorn in the 「good」 living room and worried much less about the dirt when someone wanted to light a fire in the fireplace.

我要在「講究」的客廳里吃爆玉米花。倘若有人在壁爐生火帶出了爐灰，我不會操那麼多閑心。

I would never have insisted the car windows be rolled up on a summer day because my hair had just been teased and sprayed.

我決不會因為夏天頭發剛剛梳理過、噴過發膠，就一定要把車窗玻璃搖起來。

I would have cried and laughed less while watching television—and more while watching life.

看電視我要少哭一點，少笑一點，看生活我要多哭一點，多笑一點。

I would never have bought anything just because it was practical, wouldn't show soil, or was guaranteed to last a lifetime.

我買東西不會只看它很實用，不顯臟，或能保證用一輩子。

But mostly, given another shot at life, I would seize every minute…look at it and really see it … live it … and never give it back.

但總的來說，如果再讓我活一回，我要把握好分分秒秒，留心生活，真正關注生活，品味生活，決不使歲月蹉跎。

Don't worry about who doesn't like you, who has more money, or who's doing what. Instead, let's cherish the relationships we have with those who do love us. Let's think about what God has blessed us with, and what we are doing each day to promote ourselves mentally, physically, emotionally.

不擔心誰不喜歡我，誰比我富有，或者誰在干什麼。讓我們珍惜與真心關愛我們的人之間那份感情。讓我們多想想上帝賜予我們的福分。多想想我們每天做了哪些有益於自己思想、身體、感情和精神的事。

2生命中那些匆匆的過客
When he told me he was leaving I felt like a vase which has just smashed. There were pieces of me all over the tidy, tan tiles. He kept talking, telling me why he was leaving, explaining it was for the best, I could do better, it was his fault and not mine. I had heard it before many times and yet somehow was still not immune; perhaps one did not become immune to such felony.He left and I tried to get on with my life. I filled the kettle and put it on to boil, I took out my old red mug and filled it with coffee watching as each coffee granule slipped in to the bone china. That was what my life had been like, endless omissions of coffee granules, somehow never managing to make that cup of coffee. Somehow when the kettle piped its finishing warning I pretended not to hear it. That's what Mike's leaving had been like, sudden and with an awful finality. I would rather just wallow in uncertainty than have things finished. I laughed at myself. Imagine getting all philosophical and sentimental about a mug of coffee. I must be getting old.

And yet it was a young woman who stared back at me from the mirror. A young woman full of promise and hope, a young woman with bright eyes and full lips just waiting to take on the world. I never loved Mike anyway. Besides there are more important things. More important than love, I insist to myself firmly. The lid goes back on the coffee just like closure on the whole Mike experience.

He doesn't haunt my dreams as I feared that night. Instead I am flying far across fields and woods, looking down on those below me. Suddenly I fall to the ground and it is only when I wake up that I realize I was shot by a hunter, brought down by the burden of not the bullet but the soul of the man who shot it. I realize later, with some degree of understanding, that Mike was the hunter holding me down and I am the bird that longs to fly.

The next night my dream is similar to the previous nights, but without the hunter. I fly free until I meet another bird who flies with me in perfect harmony. I realize with some relief that there is a bird out there for me, there is another person, not necessarily a lover perhaps just a friend, but there is someone out there who is my soul mate. I think about being a broken vase again and realize that I have glued myself back together, what Mike has is merely a little part of my time in earth, a little understanding of my physical being. He has only, a little piece of me.

3、蘋果樹Long ago, there was a huge apple tree. A little boy love to come and play around it everyday. He climbed to the tree top, ate the apples, took a nap under the shadow…he loved the tree and the tree loved to play with him.

Time went by…the little boy had grown up and he no longer played around the tree everyday.

One day, the boy came back to the tree and he looked. "Come and play with me ," the tree asked the boy . "I am no longer a kid, I don't play around trees anymore." The boy replied, "I want toys. I need money to buy them."

"Sorry, but I don't have money…but you can pick all my apples and sell them. So, you will have money." The boy was so excited. He grabbed all the apples on the tree and left happily. The boy never came back after he picked the apples. The tree was sad.

One day, the boy returned and the tree was so excited. "Come and play with me," the tree said.

"I don't have time to play. I have to work for my family. We need a house for shelter. Can you help me?" "Sorry, but I don't have a house, but you can chop off my branches to build your house."So the boy cut all the branches of the tree and left happily."

The tree was glad to see him happy but the boy never came back since then. The tree was again lonely and sad.

One hot summer day, the boy returned and the tree was delighted. "Come and play with me," the tree said.

"I am sad and getting old. I want to go sailing to relax myself. Can you give me a boat?" "Use my trunk to build your boat. You can sail faraway and be happy." So the boy cut the tree trunk to make a boat.

He went sailing and never showed up for a long time.

Finally, the boy returned after he left for so many years. "Sorry,my boy. But I don't have anything for you anymore. No more apples for you…「the tree said.

"I don't have teeth to bite," the boy replied.

"No more trunk for you to climb on." "I am too old for that now."the boy said.

"I really want to give you something…the only thing left is my dying roots," the tree said with tears. "I don't need much now,just a place to rest. I am tired after all these year," the boy replied.

"Good! Old tree roots is the best place to lean on and rest. Come,come sit down with me and rest," the boy sat down and the tree was glad and smiled with tears...

蘋果樹
很久很久以前，有一棵又高又大的蘋果樹。一位小男孩，天天到樹下來，他爬上去摘蘋果吃，在樹蔭下睡覺。他愛蘋果樹，蘋果樹也愛和他一起玩耍。
後來，小男孩長大了，不再天天來玩耍。一天他又來到樹下，很傷心的樣子。蘋果樹要和他一起玩，男孩說：「不行，我不小了，不能再和你玩，我要玩具，可是沒錢買。」蘋果樹說：「很遺憾，我也沒錢，不過，把我所有的果子摘下來賣掉，你不就有錢了？」男孩十分激動，他摘下所有的蘋果，高高興興地走了。然後，男孩好久都沒有來。蘋果樹很傷心。
有一天，男孩終於來了，樹興奮地邀他一起玩。男孩說：「不行，我沒有時間，我要替家裡幹活呢，我們需要一幢房子，你能幫忙嗎？」「我沒有房子，」蘋果樹說，「不過你可以把我的樹枝統統砍下來，拿去搭房子。」於是男孩砍下所有的樹枝，高高興興地運走去蓋房子。看到男孩高興樹好快樂。從此，男孩又不來了。樹再次陷入孤單和悲傷之中。
一年夏天，男孩回來了，樹太快樂了：「來呀！孩子，來和我玩呀。」男孩卻說：「我心情不好，一天天老了，我要揚帆出海，輕松一下，你能給我一艘船嗎？」蘋果樹說：「把我的樹干砍去，拿去做船吧！」於是男孩砍下了她的樹干，造了條船，然後駕船走了，很久都沒有回來。樹好快樂……但不是真的。
許多年過去，男孩終於回來，蘋果樹說：「對不起，孩子，我已經沒有東西可以給你了，我的蘋果沒了。」
男孩說：「我的牙都掉了，吃不了蘋果了。」
蘋果樹又說：「我再沒有樹干，讓你爬上來了。」
男孩說：「我太老了，爬不動了。」
「我再也沒有什麼給得出手了……，只剩下枯死下去的老根，」樹流著淚說。
男孩說：「這么多年過去了，現在我感到累了，什麼也不想要，只要一個休息的地方。」
「好啊！老根是最適合坐下來休息的，來啊，坐下來和我一起休息吧！」男孩坐下來，蘋果樹高興得流下了眼淚……
這就是我們每個人的故事。這顆樹就是我們的父母。小時候，我們喜歡和爸爸媽媽玩……長大後，我們就離開他們，只在需要什麼東西或者遇到麻煩的時候，才回到他們身邊。無論如何，父母永遠都在那兒，傾其所有使你快樂。你可能認為這個男孩對樹很殘酷，但這就是我們每個人對待父母的方式。
白天花些時間出去，獨自傾聽自己的心聲。你可能想利用這段安靜的時間沉思或祈禱。無論如何利用這段時間，關鍵是要排除周圍所有的噪音，關注自己的內心深處。安靜的時間進行深呼吸也能幫你集中注意力。我知道在特別忙碌的日子找到安靜的時間很難，然而這很重要——即使一天只有10分鍾，你也要溜開抓住它。安靜的時間確實能使你的生命變得不同，它促使你傾聽上帝與你的心靈對話，使你想起他賦予你的完美的愛。
坦誠對己，注重行動吧。事實勝於雄辯，行動才能證明事實。你的行動是如何說明你的呢？如果你說熱愛自己的工作，而你的行動正好相反，你認為哪個更有說服力呢——言語還是行動？另一方面，如果你說不擅長某項工作，但你的行動正好相反，這也很重要。你怎麼處理你這種能力？你可以由此在生活中做出更多的選擇，坦誠對己也建立在以前的行為上，你以後的行動將會以事實為基礎，而不只是你的言詞。
不管你的潛意識告訴你什麼，你都能夠擁有無盡的愛，關鍵是首先你要無條件地愛自己。

⑤ 求幾篇適合高中生的英語美文，演講用~在線等

Swallows may have gone, but there is a time of return; willow trees may have died back, but there is a time of regreening; peach blossoms may have fallen, but they will bloom again. Now, you the wise, tell me, why should our days leave us, never to return? - If they had been stolen by someone, who could it be? Where could he hide them? If they had made the escape themselves, then where could they stay at the moment?
燕子去了，有再來的時候；楊柳枯了，有再青的時候；桃花謝了，有再開的時候。但是，聰明的，你告訴我，我們的日子為什麼一去不復返呢？——是有人偷了他們罷：那是誰？又藏在何處呢？是他們自己逃走了：現在又到了哪裡呢？

I don't know how many days I have been given to spend, but I do feel my hands are getting empty. Taking stock silently, I find that more than eight thousand days have already slid away from me. Like a drop of water from the point of a needle disappearing into the ocean, my days are dripping into the stream of time, soundless, traceless. Already sweat is starting on my forehead, and tears welling up in my eyes.

我不知道他們給了我多少日子；但我的手確乎是漸漸空虛了。在默默里算著，八千多日子已經從我手中溜去；象針尖上一滴水滴在大海里，我的日子滴在時間的流里，沒有聲音也沒有影子。我不禁頭涔涔而淚潸潸了。

Those that have gone have gone for good, those to come keep coming; yet in between, how swift is the shift, in such a rush? When I get up in the morning, the slanting sun marks its presence in my small room in two or three oblongs. The sun has feet, look, he is treading on, lightly and furtively; and I am caught, blankly, in his revolution. Thus--the day flows away through the sink when I wash my hands, wears off in the bowl when I eat my meal, and passes away before my day-dreaming gaze as reflect in silence. I can feel his haste now, so I reach out my hands to hold him back, but he keeps flowing past my withholding hands. In the evening, as I lie in bed, he strides over my body, glides past my feet, in his agile way. The moment I open my eyes and meet the sun again, one whole day has gone. I bury my face in my hands and heave a sigh. But the new day begins to flash past in the sigh.

去的盡管去了，來的盡管來著，去來的中間，又怎樣的匆匆呢？早上我起來的時候，小屋裡射進兩三方斜斜的太陽。太陽他有腳啊，輕輕悄悄地挪移了；我也茫茫然跟著旋轉。於是——洗手的時候，日子從水盆里過去；吃飯的時候，日子從飯碗里過去；默默時，便從凝然的雙眼前過去。我覺察他去的匆匆了，伸出手遮挽時，他又從遮挽著的手邊過去，天黑時，我躺在床上，他便伶伶俐俐地從我身邊垮過，從我腳邊飛去了。等我睜開眼和太陽再見，這算又溜走了一日。我掩著面嘆息。但是新來的日子的影兒又開始在嘆息里閃過了。

What can I do, in this bustling world, with my days flying in their escape? Nothing but to hesitate, to rush. What have I been doing in that eight-thousand-day rush, apart from hesitating? Those bygone days have been dispersed as smoke by a light wind, or evaporated as mist by the morning sun. What traces have I left behind me? Have I ever left behind any gossamer traces at all? I have come to the world, stark naked; am I to go back, in a blink, in the same stark nakedness? It is not fair though: why should I have made such a trip for nothing!

在逃去如飛的日子裡，在千門萬戶的世界裡的我能做些什麼呢？只有徘徊罷了，只有匆匆罷了；在八千多日的匆匆里，除徘徊外，又剩些什麼呢？過去的日子如輕煙卻被微風吹散了，如薄霧，被初陽蒸融了；我留著些什麼痕跡呢？我何曾留著象游絲樣的痕跡呢？我赤裸裸來到這世界，轉眼間也將赤裸裸地回去罷？但不能平的，為什麼偏要白白走這一遭啊？

You the wise, tell me, why should our days leave us, never to return?
你聰明的，告訴我，我們的日子為什麼一去不復返呢？

I love you not because of who you are， but because of who I am when I am with you。

The worst way to miss someone is to be sitting right beside them knowing you can't have them。
失去某人，最糟糕的莫過於，他近在身旁，卻猶如遠在天邊。
Never frown， even when you are sad， because you never know who is falling in love with your smile。
