假如我有一匹马作文-几号立秋
Unit 1
Have you ever known anyone
famous? If so, you may have found that they
are remarkably similar to the rest of us. You
may have even heard them
object to people
saying there is anything different about them.
just a normal guy,
spotlight. There is, of
course, usually a brief period while they are
popular when they actually start to believe
they are as great as their
worshipping fans
suggests. They start to wear fancy clothes and
talk as if
everyone should hear what they have
to say. This period, however, does
not often
last long. They fall back to reality as fast as
they had originally
risen above it all. What
will it feel like to soar to such altitude and
look
down like an eagle from up high on
everyone else? And what will it feel
like to
have flown so high only to wake from your dream
and realize you
are only human? Some only see
the cruelty in losing something they had
gained. They often make desperate attempts to
regain what they lost.
Often these efforts
result in even greater pain. Some become bankrupt
financially and emotionally. The only real
winners are those who are
happy to be back on
the ground with the rest of us.
Unit 5
How do you spend your time when you're alone?
Do you turn up your
music as loud as you can
and listen to your own entertainment? Do you
buy yourself the biggest steak you could find
and sit down to a good meal?
It has been my
observation that these activities can be the best
type of
therapy for a troubled mind. It is
crucial for humans to find some solitude
in
life. They must find some time to let the universe
go spinning on
without others' interruption.
The portion of this world that belongs to one
person is increasingly becoming smaller. And
whatever we do have we
must share with others.
Therefore, our ability to maintain a healthy
balance between social interaction and
personal pursuits is being
challenged.
Inspiration in solitude is a major commodity not
only for
poets and philosophers but for
ordinary people as well. A healthy adult
needs
time to reflect on what is truly important to
them.
When you are alone, you can stretch out
your soul until it fills up the
1
whole room, and use your freedom,
moving at your own pace. However,
it's
important to stay rational. Don't forget that in
order to be a healthy
part of others' lives,
you must yourself be healthy.
Unit 8
To look at me, you would never guess I am in
my late sixties. Most people
suspect that. I
just smile and say,
are good reasons why a
lady doesn't. Older women get ignored in our
society. We are undervalued and left to grow
old without the company of
others. I
understood from a very young age our society
discriminates
against the old. Our society is
prejudiced against women. And, our
society
makes judgments based on the color of a person's
skin. I am an
old black woman. I have to use
my every advantage in order to remain a
vital
part of my community. I have managed to stay fit,
to maintain my
looks while my wisdom
increases. Often younger men underestimate my
abilities. However, I should tell you that I
am very skilled in the art of
politics. I was
for many years the mayor of a large urban center
in the
Southern United States. After that I
was selected by my district to
represent them
in Congress. I advise other women over sixty not
to give
up! Old as we are, we have experience
and know more about life. Let's
not let our
knowledge and experience go to waste.
Unit 10
As a boss, I have dealt with all
types of employees. The ones that are the
least productive are those who are not
adaptive. They may have high IQ
points, but
they just don't understand how to apply their
theories to reality.
I recently read a book by
Daniel Goleman, which suggested that the true
measure of intelligence was not IQ, but rather
EQ or Emotional
Intelligence. This made a lot
of sense to me. I have never been at the top
of my class, but I have always been efficient
and worked well with other
people. I have
always taken good communication skills my number
