罗素(1872-1970),是一个活了将近百岁的哲学家。然而,他最大的魅力却不是哲学,而是文学。曾经获得诺贝尔文学奖——文学中最高奖项的他,用自己的朴实优美的语言为你讲述怎样才能度过一个成功的晚年。
A great grandmother of mine, who was a friend of Gibbon, lived to the age of ninety-two, and to her last day remained a terror to all her descendants. My maternal grandmother, after having nine children who survived, one who died in infancy, and many miscarriages, as soon as she became a widow, devoted herself to woman’s higher education. She was one of the founders of Girton College, and worked hard at opening the medical profession to women. She used to relate how she met in Italy an elderly gentleman who was looking very sad. She inquired the cause of his melancholy and he said that he had just parted from his two grandchildren. “Good gracious”, she exclaimed, “I have seventy-two grandchildren, and if I were sad each time I parted from one of them, I should have a dismal existence!” “Madre snaturale,” he replied. But speaking as one of the seventy-two, I prefer her recipe. After the age of eighty she found she had some difficulty in getting to sleep, so she habitually spent the hours from midnight to 3 a.m. in reading popular science. I do not believe that she ever had time to notice that she was growing old. This, I think, is proper recipe for remaining young. If you have wide and keen interests and activities in which you can still be effective, you will have no reason to think about the merely statistical fact of the number of years you have already lived, still less of the probable brevity of you future. 。
我的一位祖母,她是Gibbon的朋友,活了92岁,直到生命的最后一天一直都让她的子孙后代感到惊奇。我慈爱的祖母,抚养成人9个孩子,另外有一个早年夭折,还有几个流产了。不久,她就成了一个寡妇,却全身心地投入到妇女高等教育当中,她是Girton学院的创始人之一,在妇女医疗方面也做了大量的工作。她经常给我们讲述她在意大利遇到一位年老绅士的故事,当时,这位老年人看上去很忧愁,很悲伤。祖母前去询问缘由,老人告诉他说是因为刚和两个孙子离别。祖母惊叹道:“天啊!我有72个孙子,如果我和他们每一个离别的时候都感到悲哀,我一定生活的非常凄凉。”老绅士听了便转悲为欣。我便是她所提到的72个孙子之一。祖母在80岁之后,发现自己睡眠不是很好,于是她养成了从午夜到凌晨3点钟阅读流行科学杂志的习惯。我总认为她不会有空余时间去注意到自己是否已经变老了,我认为这是她保持年轻秘诀。如果你兴趣广泛、积极参加各项活动,恐怕你没有缘由成天去想那些已经逝去的岁月,更不会去考虑将来会发生什么。
3. As regards health I have nothing useful to say since I have little experience of illness. I eat and drink whatever I like, and sleep when I cannot keep awake. I never do anything whatever on the ground that it is good for health, though in actual fact the things I like doing are mostly wholesome. 。
有关于健康方面,我没有太多有用的建议可以讲,因为我很少得病。我吃喝自己喜欢的东西,困顿了就去睡觉。我从来不按照任何所谓有益健康的(医生)建议行事,虽然我所做的任何喜欢的事情都是非常有益于健康的。
4. Psychologically there are two dangers to be guarded against in old age. One of these is undue absorption in the past. It does not do to live in memories, in regrets for the good old days, or in sadness about friends who are dead. One’s thoughts must be directed to the future and to things about which there is something to be done. This is not always easy: one’s own past is gradually increasing weight. It is easy to think to oneself that one’s emotions used to be more vivid than they are, and one’s mind keener. If this is true it should be forgotten, and if it is forgotten it will probably not be true. 。
从心理上说,老年时期要防止两种危险。其一是过分沉湎于过去。生活于回忆之中,为以往的好时光而抱憾,或因朋友作古而悲伤,这些皆无济于事。人的思想必须朝着未来,朝着还可以有所作为的方面。这并非总是容易做到;因为一个人的过去是一份不断加重的负担。人们容易认为自己的感情,过去比现在充沛,自己的思想,过去比现在敏锐。如果这是事实,就应该忘掉它。如果它被忘掉,那它也许将不成其为事实。
5. The other thing to be avoided is clinging to youth in the hope of sucking vigor from its vitality. When your children are grown up they want to live their own lives, and if you continue to be as interested in them as you were when they were young, you are likely to become a burden to them, unless they are unusually callous. I do not mean that one should be without interest in them, but one’s interest should be contemplative and, if possible, philanthropic, but not unduly emotional. Animals become indifferent to their young as soon as their young can look after themselves, but human beings, owing to the length of infancy, find this difficult.。
另一件要避免的事是紧拽着年轻人,希望从他们的生机中吸取活力。当你的孩子们已经长大,他们就要过他们自己的生活,如果你还是想他们小时侯那样对他们关心备至,你就可能成为他们的包袱,除非他们特别麻木不仁。我不是说他们应该不闻不问,但是你所给予的关心应当是理性的,解囊相助的(如果可能的话),而非过于感情冲动。动物在自己的后代一旦能够生活自理时,便不再给予关怀,但是人类,由于幼年时期太长,很难做到这一点。
6. I think that a successful old age is easiest for those who have strong impersonal interests involving appropriate activities. It is in this sphere that long experience is really fruitful, and it is in this sphere that the wisdom born of experience can be exercised without being oppressive. It is no use telling grown-up children not to make mistakes, both because they will not believe you, and because mistakes are an essential part of education. But if you are one of those who are incapable of impersonal interests, you may find that your life will be empty unless you concern yourself with your children and grandchildren. In that case you must realize that while you can still render them material services, such as making them an allowance or knitting them jumpers, you must not expect that they will enjoy your company. 。
我想一个人能做到对合适的活动兴趣盎然、不计较个人得失,那么,他就极易享有成功的晚年,因为长期积累的经验在此可以结出累累硕果,而由经验产生的在此时既有用武之地,而又不至咄咄逼人。叫已经成人的孩子不要犯错误是没有益处的,因为他们不会相信你,同时也因为犯错误是接受教育的不可少的一环。但假如你做不到不计个人得失,那么,不将心放在孙儿身上,你便会觉得生活空虚无望。假使如此,你必须明白:虽然你还能给他们物质上的帮助,诸如给点补贴或织几件毛衣,但你千万不要指望他们会喜欢和你在一起。
7. Some old people are oppressed by the fear of death. In the young there is a justification for this feeling. Young men who have reason to fear that they will be killed in battle may justifiably feel bitter in the thought that they have been cheated of the best things that life has to offer. But in an old man who has known human joys and sorrows, and has achieved whatever work it was in him to do, the fear of death is somewhat abject and ignoble. The best way to overcome it – so at least it seems to me – is to make your interests gradually wider and more impersonal, until bit by bit the walls of the ego recede, and your life becomes increasingly merged in the universal life. An individual human existence should be like a river – small at first, narrowly contained within its banks, and rushing passionately past rocks and over waterfalls. Gradually the river grows wider, the banks recede, the waters flow more quietly, and in the end, without any visible break, they become merged in the sea, and painlessly lose their individual being. The man who, in old age, can see his life in this way, will not suffer from the fear of death, since the things he cares for will continue. And if, with the decay of vitality, weariness increases, the thought of rest will not be unwelcome. I should wish to die while still at work, knowing that others will carry on what I can no longer do and content in the thought that what was possible has been done. 。
有些老人为死的恐惧所困扰。如果年轻人有这种恐惧,那倒无可厚非。年轻人有理由害怕战死沙场;当他们想到被骗走了生命所能给予的美好生活,他们有理由愤愤不平。但对于一个备尝人生甘苦,业已完成该做的一切的老人来说,怕死就有点不大可取了。克服这种恐惧的最好方法是——至少在我看来如此——使你的兴趣逐渐扩大,越来越超出个人之外,最终你的自我之墙将一点一点地后退,你的生命将越来越和人类的生命之墙融合在一起。一个人的一生应该像一条河——起初很小,被两岸紧紧束缚,猛烈地冲向岩石和瀑布。逐渐地它变宽了,两岸后退了,河水静静地流淌。到最后,不经过任何可见的停留,就和大海汇合在一起,毫无痛苦地失去它自身的存在。一个在老年能这样看待生活的人,将不会感到死的恐惧,因为他所关心的事物将继续下去。如果由于生命力的衰退,倦意日增,安息的想法也许不无可喜之处。我希望我能死于工作之时,并且临终时能知道别人将继续做我不能再做的工作,同时能为自己已完成力所能及的一切而心满意足。
运动健身的好处大家都知道,但是一般人不大可能一辈子只做同样一种运动,永远也不厌倦;另一方面,岁月毕竟无情,上了年纪的人不可能还和年轻时一样蹦蹦跳跳,承受着年轻时的运动量。
那么,对希望以运动健身的人,到底应该如何搭配组合,在不同人生阶段选择适合自己年龄的运动方式?美国有一位训练专家最近设计出一套能让人一生受用的健身计划,使注重健康的你从二十几岁开始,一直到耳顺之年都能找到适合的运动方式。让你从运动中受益。下面是具体方案:
二十多岁:可选择高冲击有氧运动、跑步或拳击等运动方式。对你的身体而言,好处是能消耗大量卡路里,强化全身肌肉,增进精力、耐力与手眼协调。在心理上,这些运动能帮助你解除外在压力,让你暂时忘却日常杂务,获得成就感。同时,跑步还有激发创意、训练自律力的优点;而拳击除了培养信心、克制力与面对冲突的能力等好处外,更适合拿来当做“出气筒”。
三十多岁:建议选择攀岩、滑板运动、溜冰或者武术来健身。除了减肥,这些运动能加强肌肉弹性,特别臀部与腿部;还有助于活力、耐力,能改善你的平衡感、协调感和灵敏度。在心理上,攀岩能培养禅定般的专注工夫,帮助你建立自信与策略思考力;溜冰令人愉悦、多感,忘却不快;武术帮助你在冲突中保持冷静、自强与警觉心,同样能有效增进专心的程度。
四十多岁:选择低冲击有氧运动、远行、爬楼梯、网球等运动。对身体的好处是能增加体力,加强下半身肌肉,特别是双腿,像爬楼梯既可以出汗健身,又很适合忙碌的城市上班族天天就近练习。网球则是非常合适的全身运动,能增加身体各部位的灵敏度与协调度,让人保持活力充沛,同时对于关节的压力也不如跑步和高冲击有氧运动来得大。而在心理上,这些运动让人神清气爽,松弛紧张和压力。以爬楼梯为例,有规律地爬上爬下常是控制自己,让心情恢复稳定的好方法;同样,打网球除了有社交作用,还能抛开压力与躁念,训练专心、判断力,与时间感。
五十多岁:适合的运动包括游泳、重量训练、划船,以及打高尔夫球。游泳能有效加强全身各部位的肌肉与弹性,而且由于有水的浮力支撑,不如陆上运动吃力,特别适合疗养者、孕妇、风湿病患者与年纪较大者。重量训练能坚实肌肉、强化骨骼密度;提高其他运动能力;而打高尔夫球时如果能自己走路、自背球袋,而且加快脚步,常有稳定心脏功能的效果。心理上,游泳兼具振奋与镇静的作用,专心的划水让人忘却杂务;重量训练有助提高自我形象满意度,让压力与烦躁都随汗水宣泄而出;团队一起划船能培养协同与团队精神;打高尔夫球则可让人更专心、更自律。
六十多岁以上:介绍你多做散步、交谊舞、瑜珈或水中有氧运动。散步能强化双腿,帮助预防骨质疏松与关节紧张;交谊舞能增进全身的韵律感、协调感和优雅,非常适合不常运动的人选择尝试;瑜珈能使全身更富弹性与平衡感;能预防身体受伤;水中有氧主要增强肌肉力量与身体的弹性,适合肥胖、孕妇或老弱者健身。这些都不算是激烈的运动,但是在健身之外,它们的最大功用是能使人精神抖擞,感觉有趣,并且有社交的作用,是让老年人保持年轻心态的一个好方法。
另个补充:一、健身长跑可提高呼吸系统和心血管系统机能科学实践证实,较长时间有节奏的深长呼吸,能使人体呼吸大量的氧气,吸收氧气量若超过平时的7—8倍,就可以抑制人体癌细胞的生长和繁殖。其次长跑锻炼还改善了心肌供氧状态,加快了心肌代谢,同时还使心肌肌纤维变粗,心收缩力增强,从而提高了心脏工作能力。
二、健身长跑有利于防病治病健身长跑使血液循环加快,对排泄系统有害物质起到清洗作用,从而使有害物质难以在体内停留和扩散。据测定得知,16分钟跑3000米或25分钟跑5000米,可降低血液中胆固醇。这对老年人易患不同程度的高血脂症,继而引起血管硬化、冠心病、脑血管病等有着良好的预防作用。
三、健身长跑有利于心情舒畅、精神愉快这种长跑因其不重视比赛胜负,只求在轻松愉快中健身,因此对缓解现代社会高节奏和激烈运动带来的精神心理紧张十分有益。据医学专家介绍,这种轻松愉快的运动最能促进体内释放一种多肽物质——内啡吠,从而使人产生一种持续的欣快感和镇静作用。另外,由于长跑使人情绪饱满乐观,有助于增进食欲,加强消化功能,促进营养吸收。
长跑锻炼对于培养人们克服困难,磨炼刻苦耐劳的顽强意志具有良好的作用。特别是对那些冬季怕冷爱睡懒觉不想锻炼的人起到促进作用,从而使人他们尝到健身长跑锻炼的好处.。

The benefits of exercise is known to all, but the average person is unlikely to be a lifetime only to do the same kind of movement, never tired of; Years after all, on the other hand, ruthless, older people may also not lit up like when I was young, under exercise when I was young.。

范文毕竟是别人的,要学会利用其中的好句子,句型,不要照抄,底下是我找的一些,你来晚了一小步,我刚考完中考,电脑里储存的英语学习资料都詧除掉了,中考其实作文并不太难(安徽的),单词一定要背完背熟。还有能不呢不过提个意见,“15分呐”...说那么夸张,口气像是150分:-)。
英语中考作文焦点——以环保话题 。
今年几个世界大国首脑都参加了“八国峰会”,这次的主题是世界经济、能源问题和气候变化。经济发展离不开环境话题,能源使用必然污染环境,而气候变化就是经济发展和环境问题矛盾的产物。广西的城乡清洁工程表面就是环境整治问题。学校的两基工作从某种意义上来说其实就是学校环境改变没有。2008年北京奥运会也离不开环保这个主题。八荣八耻也有部分内容是关于环保主题的。总之,环境保护是当今世界难题。因此,中考的内容离不开以下这些范文要点,而且都是记叙文形式,有些句子相当有用,不论什么作文,都可以从下列文章选出相应句子,只需稍微改一下地名或主语,尽量减少语法错误,起码有4、5分是正确的。如:Throw the waste here and there(到处乱扔垃圾)变成Don~t throw the waste here and there.(不准乱扔垃圾)。“应该”变成“不应该”等等。我想中考作文完全可以取得高分。比如:作文题:1、职业:将来想干什?或者你的爱好是什么?(或者题目是:毕业之后)你可以写将来做一个环保注意者,如何做?做什么。2、如果题目是写我的班级、学校、家乡之类的更加可以谈到环保情况(讲现象,有好有坏,如何去改变?有什么措施?如何的美?)3、如果是写为什么北京有沙尘暴、为什么今年有些省份干旱少雨?为什么有些省份洪涝灾害严重。那就是环境破坏问题。因此关键最后几天最好能背熟这些范文。 尽量围绕环保展开主题,通过过渡句和环保扯上联系。比如:(过渡句)The most important question in the world today is pollution .(当今世界最重要的话题就是污染问题。)

人与环境是和谐相处的,我们生存在地球上,人是自然之子,而不能仅把人看作自然的征服者,大家都知道,人类只有一个地球,地球上的山山水水、动物。植物是人类的细胞,如果我们把它损坏了,破坏了大自然的组织,等 于消灭人类。因此,环境要与社会公德联系起来,与实践行为作为人格教育的一项重要内容来抓。每个人都要履行保护环境的责任和义务。
Harmony with the environment is that we live in on Earth, who is a natural son, and not only to natural persons as the conqueror, as we all know, there is only one earth and the mountains on Earth, the animals. Plant human cells, if it damaged, destroyed nature organizations, to the eradication of mankind. Therefore, the environment must be linked with social ethics, character education and practice acts as an important element of it. Everyone must fulfil its responsibilities and obligations to protect the environment.。
保护我们的城市(Saving Our City)。
It is very important to deal with the rubbish in cities. Rubbish must be thrown away or reused properly. Or it may cause a lot of problems. It may pollute the air and water. People may get ill when they breathe the polluted air or drink the polluted water.。
Our city has started to face the problem. Some rubbish is sorted and sent to a certain place .Waste gas is cleaned before it goes into the air. Waste water is also cleaned before it is poured into rivers.。
People should be prevented from throwing rubbish everywhere. We should try our best to take care of our environment and fight against pollution.。
保卫地球(Saving the Earth)。
As time goes by, man is making the earth sick. People cut down too many trees and leave rubbish everywhere. Factories let out their waste without doing anying to it . This has cause some serious problems. Such as the land is sandy, the river is dirty, the air is less clean, even the temperature of the earth is rising. What should we do to save the earth ? My suggestion is that we should plant more trees, put rubbish into dusbins and stop factories pouring waste directly into the air or rivers. In all, we have only one earth, we should do our best to protect it, or we will regret.。
如何保护环境(How to Protect the Environment)。
Good environment can make people feel happy and fit . To improve the environment means to improve our life. We should plant more trees and flowers around us . We shouldn’t cut them down . We should stop factories from pouring waste water into the river and waste gas into the air. Whenever we see litter on the ground , we should pick it up and throw it into dusbins. Never spit in public. Don’t draw on public walls. It’s our duty to protect the environment.。
环保(environmental matter)。
The environmental matter is a hot topic nowadays. Not only does it affect our health, it also has a great impact on our future.。
Due to lacking of environmental concepts, people''''s health has been greatly affected by air, noise and water pollution. In order to live a better life, we need a cleaner world. We should now be concerned for environment by creating a better future for our next generation.。
In conclusion, the environmental matter is an important issue that directly affects very human in the world!。

There are 60 students in my class(31 boys and 29 girls ).Different students have different ways to relax.Half of the students often watch TV.12students like to play computer games while 8 enjoy listening to music.5 students think doing sports is a good way and another five are busy to relax.。

John D. Rockefeller, Sr.--history's first billionaire and the patriarch of America's most famous dynasty--is an icon whose true nature has eluded three generations of historians. Now Ron Chernow, the National Book Award-winning biographer of the Morgan and Warburg banking families, gives us a history of the mogul "etched with uncommon objectivity and literary grace . . . as detailed, balanced, and psychologically insightful a portrait of the tycoon as we may ever have" (Kirkus Reviews). Titan is the first full-length biography based on unrestricted access to Rockefeller's exceptionally rich trove of papers. A landmark publication full of startling revelations, the book will indelibly alter our image of this most enigmatic capitalist.。
Born the son of a flamboyant, bigamous snake-oil salesman and a pious, straitlaced mother, Rockefeller rose from rustic origins to become the world's richest man by creating America's most powerful and feared monopoly, Standard Oil. Branded "the Octopus" by legions of muckrakers, the trust refined and marketed nearly 90 percent of the oil produced in America.。
Rockefeller was likely the most controversial businessman in our nation's history. Critics charged that his empire was built on unscrupulous tactics: grand-scale collusion with the railroads, predatory pricing, industrial espionage, and wholesale bribery of political officials. The titan spent more than thirty years dodging investigations until Teddy Roosevelt and his trustbusters embarked on a marathon crusade to bring Standard Oil to bay.。
While providing abundant new evidence of Rockefeller's misdeeds, Chernow discards the stereotype of the cold-blooded monster to sketch an unforgettably human portrait of a quirky, eccentric original. A devout Baptist and temperance advocate, Rockefeller gave money more generously--his chosen philanthropies included the Rockefeller Foundation, the University of Chicago, and what is today Rockefeller University--than anyone before him. Titan presents a finely nuanced portrait of a fascinating, complex man, synthesizing his public and private lives and disclosing numerous family scandals, tragedies, and misfortunes that have never before come to light.。
John D. Rockefeller's story captures a pivotal moment in American history, documenting the dramatic post-Civil War shift from small business to the rise of giant corporations that irrevocably transformed the nation. With cameos by Joseph Pulitzer, William Randolph Hearst, Jay Gould, William Vanderbilt, Ida Tarbell, Andrew Carnegie, Carl Jung, J. Pierpont Morgan, William James, Henry Clay Frick, Mark Twain, and Will Rogers, Titan turns Rockefeller's life into a vivid tapestry of American society in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It is Ron Chernow's signal triumph that he narrates this monumental saga with all the sweep, drama, and insight that this giant subject deserves.。

约翰·戴维森·洛克菲勒(1839年7月8日-1937年5月23日),美国实业家,慈善家,以革命了石油工业与塑造现代慈善的企业化结构而闻名。1870年他创立了标准石油,在全盛期他垄断了全美90%的石油市场,成为美国第一位10亿富豪与全球首富。今天他则被公认为人类近代史上首富,身价折合今日之3000亿美元以上。约翰·洛克菲勒全称约翰·戴维森·洛克菲勒(英文:John Davison Rockefeller,1839年7月8日-1937年5月23日),美国实业家,慈善家,以革命了石油工业与塑造现代慈善的企业化结构而闻名。1870年他创立了标准石油,在全盛期他垄断了全美90%的石油市场,成为美国第一位十亿富豪与全球首富。他也普遍被视为人类近代史上首富,财富总值折合今日之3000亿美元以上。
他受到记者与各种舆论的攻击,标准石油最后被美国最高法院判决违反反托拉斯法并且在1911年被勒令拆分为34家公司(事实上,反托拉斯法正是针对标准石油而制定的)。规模之巨大,其后继企业:艾克森美孚ExxonMobil、埃莫科Amoco、康纳科Conoco和雪佛龙Chevron在百年后的今天依然是世界最大的数间石油公司(其中艾克森美孚为2007年Fortune 500全球企业第二大[5])。
另一方面,洛克菲勒在他人生的后40年致力于慈善事业,主要是教育和医药领域。他在1897年正式结束对标准石油的直接管理,但保持了大部分的股权。他出资成立洛克菲勒研究所,资助北美医学研究,包括根除十二指肠寄身虫和黄热病,帮助了野口英世的研究,也对抗生素的发现贡献甚大。另外难得的是,他对黑人族群非常关照,并斥巨资提升黑人教育,广设学校。他也是个虔诚的北浸礼会教友,并且在他的一生中支持了很多教会背景的机构。
今天的两所美国顶尖大学:芝加哥大学、与洛克菲勒大学都是他创办的。 现今的纽约市也处处可见洛克菲勒家族留下的地标,如联合国总部大楼、洛克菲勒中心等等。
洛克菲勒坚信他人生的目的是“从其他恶性竞争的商人们身上赚取尽可能多的金钱,而用此金钱发展有益人类的事业”。他以各种手段成为了空前绝后的巨富,但他不烟不酒不赌不色,一生可谓勤俭自持,并在晚年将大部分财产捐出资助慈善与研究事业,开美国富豪行善之先河,给今天如比尔·盖茨与沃伦·巴菲特等富豪写下了先例,让他成为美国近代史上最富传奇色彩与争议性的人物之一。
这位垄断者的一举一动牵动着国际石油市场的每一根神经,他创建了一个史无前例的联合事业--托拉斯。约翰·洛克菲勒通过气势如虹的兼并和扩张垄断了美国的石油工业,而被人称为"石油大王"。世界首富比尔·盖茨把洛克菲勒作为自己惟一的崇拜对象:"我心目中的赚钱英雄只有一个名字,那就是洛克菲勒。"洛克菲勒中心的53层摩天大楼坐落在美国纽约第五大道上。这里也是标准石油公司的所在地。标准石油公司创立之初(1870年)仅有5个人,而今天该公司拥有股东30万,油轮500多艘,年收入已达五六百亿美元,可以说,这里的一举一动牵动着国际石油市场的每一根神经。整个中心犹如一个庞大的帝国,而这个帝国的奠基人就是洛克菲勒。
洛克菲勒创建了一个史无前例的联合事业--托拉斯。在这个托拉斯结构下,他合并了40多家厂商,垄断了全国80%的炼油工业和90%的油管生意。不久,托拉斯在全美各地、各行业野火般地迅速蔓延开来。显然,洛克菲勒成功地造就了美国历史上一个独特的时代--垄断时代。
