Just to pole a boat upstream 　　To where the green grass is more verdant; 　　Or to have the boat fully loaded with starlight 　　And sing aloud in the splendor of starlight. 　　But I cannot sing aloud 　　Quietness is my farewell music; 　　Even summer insects heap silence for me 　　Silent is Cambridge tonight! 　　Very quietly I take my leave 　　As quietly as I came here; 　　Gently I flick my sleeves 　　Not even a wisp of cloud will I bring away 　　Help: 　　Rosy: adj.蔷薇色的, 玫瑰红色的 　　Shimmering: adj.微微发亮的 　　Sludge: n.软泥, 淤泥, 矿泥, 煤泥 　　Leisurely: adv.从容不迫 　　Duckweeds: n.[植] 浮萍

　　Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind. It is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple1 knees. It is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep spring of life.

　　Youth means a temperamental2 predominance3 of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease. This often exits in a man of 60, more than a boy of 20.nobody grows merely by the number of years; we grow old by deserting our ideas. Years may wrinkle4 the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear, self-distrust1 bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust.

　　Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being’s heart the lure5 of wonders, the unfailing childlike appetite of what’s next and the joy of the game of living. In the center of your heart and my heart there is a wireless station; so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and power from men and from infinite6, so long as you are young.

　　When the aerials7 are down, and your spirit is covered with the snows of cynicism8 and the ice of pessimism, then you’ve grown old, even at 20, but as long as your aerials are up, to catch waves of optimism9, there’s hope you may die young at 80.

Youth

　　郝彬美国口语朗诵：青春 Youth

　　青春不是年华，而是心境；青春不是桃面、丹唇、柔膝，而是深沉的意志、宏伟的想象、炽热的感情；青春是生命的深泉在涌流。

　　青春气贯长虹，勇锐盖过怯弱，进去压倒苟安，如此锐气，二十后生有之，六旬男子则更多见。年年有加，并非垂老；理想丢弃，方堕暮年。

　　岁月悠悠，衰微只及肌肤；热忱抛却，颓唐必至灵魂。烦忧、惶恐、丧失自信，定使心灵扭曲，意气如灰。

　　无论年届花甲，抑或二八芳龄，心中皆有生命之欢乐，奇迹之诱惑，孩童般天真久盛不衰。人人心中皆有一台天线，只要你从天上人间接受美好、希望、欢乐、勇气和力量的信号，你就青春永驻，风华常存。

　　一旦天线倒塌，锐气被冰雪覆盖，玩世不恭、自暴自弃油然而生，几十年方二十，实已垂老矣；然则只要竖起天线，捕捉乐观的信号，你就有望在八十高龄告别尘寰时仍觉得年轻。

Language learning is the indispensable in my life, but I got interests elsewhere. Besides shooting the hoop, I worship Logic. I never extravagant to be logician, but I’m fond of having the vexed logic theoretical debate with Fran and other dialectician. That’s the mine where we dig joyance, and we call it joy walking miner! Anyway, right here I’m please to share it with you.

　　Let me spread you a story that can enlighten your thinking--

　　Once upon a time, there’re two kinds of tribes live in one mountain. Namely, human and vampire. Three years ago, there happened a severe disease and it made half of the human and half of the vampires out of their mind. They are intelligent human, unintelligent human, intelligent vampire and unintelligent vampire. Outwardly, you cannot distinguish the difference between them, but deep down inside, they’re totally different: All the intelligent human are honest, they always tell the truth; and all unintelligent human are liars, they never tell the truth. The characteristic of vampire are just on the contrary side. All these four kinds of resident live together and they’re all straightforward people. When they meet a question, they just simply use two words in their answer: Yes & No.

　　Here the story begins: One day, a scholar came to investigate that mountain, and on his way to the peak, he met a guy. The scholar really wanted to know which kind the man belongs to? And whether the man is intelligent or not? According to the above, you’re allowed to ask that guy two questions, then you’ll help the scholar to get his answer.

　　Questions & Answers:

　　Step 1→

　　Ask the guy: “Are you Unintelligent?”

　　The four answers will be:

　　Intelligent Human: “No, I am not.”

　　Unintelligent Human: “No, I am not.”

　　Intelligent Vampire: “Yes, I am.”

　　Unintelligent Human: “Yes, I am.”

　　Then you can conclude that the guy is Human or Vampire.

　　Step 2→

　　Right now you have an alternative choice.

　　Choice 1:

　　Ask the guy: “Are you a human?”

　　The four answers will be:

　　Intelligent Human: “Yes, I am.”

　　Unintelligent Human: “No, I am not.”

　　Intelligent Vampire: “Yes, I am.”

　　Unintelligent Human: “No, I am not.”

　　Choice 2:

　　Ask the guy: “Are you a vampire?”

　　The four answers will be:

　　Intelligent Human: “No, I am not.”

　　Unintelligent Human: “Yes, I am.”

　　Intelligent Vampire: “No, I am not.”

　　Unintelligent Human: “Yes, I am.”

　　Up to now, I am sure you can judge the species of all kinds.

　　Unless, you’re an unintelligent human! Or an intelligent vampire! Gee…

Not Foreigner,But International Person

Today,we are gonna talk about manners.我们在学英语时，通常会抓住一切能和外国人交谈的机会以练习自己的口语。虽然有时候会被陌生外国人称作"查户口的"，但这确实有用，It really works!毕竟学外语的最高境界既是能用该语言和native speaker进行无障碍交谈。但我们和外国人交谈时，往往会犯一种礼貌性的错误，我们会习惯性地称他们为Foreigner.实际上Foreigner确实是一种相对不礼貌的表达方式，你可以换个角度去想，如果我是美国人，我现在中国给美国的朋友打电话，and i am talking like this: hey,buddy!I am here in China with some none-Americans! 我称呼中国人为None-American,你是不是觉得很别扭？给人感觉你们美国人是优良品种，高人一等，而我们其他国家的人都是次品似的。而换做外国人也一样，他们被称作Foreigners,当然不会有亲切感，甚至还会觉得我们中国人很排外。所以当你称呼外国人时，如果他是美国人就称他们为American,如果是加拿大人就用Canadian,如果是瑞士人就说Swiss. 如果你不知道亦看不出他哪来的，就直接说International person.Okay,hopefully you can be a polite person.

Millions of Americans will celebrate Christmas on December twenty-fifth. It is the most widely celebrated religious holiday in the United States.

　　People buy gifts to give to family members and friends. They fill homes and stores with evergreen1 trees and bright, colored lights. They go to parties and prepare special Christmas food. Many people think Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year.

　　Many Christians go to church the night before the holiday or on Christmas Day. They celebrate Christmas as the birthday of Jesus Christ. Christian2 ministers3 speak about the need for peace and understanding in the world. This is the spiritual4 message of Christmas. Church services include traditional religious songs for the holiday. One of the most popular is "Silent Night."

　　Many other Americans celebrate Christmas as an important, but non-religious holiday. To all, however, it is a special day of family, food, and exchanging gifts.

　　Christmas is probably the most special day of the year for children. One thing that makes it special is the popular tradition of Santa Claus5.

　　Young children believe that Santa Claus is a fat, kind, old man in a red suit with white fur. They believe that-on the night before Christmas-he travels through the air in a sleigh6 pulled by reindeer7. He enters each house from the top by sliding down the hole in the fireplace8. He leaves gifts for the children under the Christmas tree.

　　Americans spend a lot of time and money buying Christmas presents. The average American family spends about 800 dollars. Stores and shopping centers are crowded at this time of year. More than 20% of goods sold during the year are sold during the weeks before Christmas. This is good for stores and for the American economy.

　　Some people object to spending all this money. They say it is not the real meaning of Christmas. So, they celebrate in other ways. For example, they make Christmas presents, instead of buying them. Or they volunteer to help serve meals to people who have no homes. Or they give money to organizations that help poor people in the United States and around the world.

　　Home and family are the center of the Christmas holiday. For many people, the most enjoyable tradition is buying a Christmas tree and decorating9 it with lights and beautiful objects. On Christmas Eve or Christmas morning, people gather around the tree to open their presents.

　　Another important Christmas tradition involves food. Families prepare many kinds of holiday foods, especially sweets. They eat these foods on the night before Christmas and on Christmas day.

　　For many people, Christmas means traveling long distances to be with their families. Another Christmas tradition is to go "caroling10."A group of people walk along the street. At each house, they stop and sing a Christmas song, called carol. Student groups also sing carols at schools and shopping centers.

　　　Not everyone in the United States celebrates Christmas. Members of the Jewish11 and Muslim12 religions, for example, generally do not. Yet many Americans do take part in some of the traditional performances of the season. One of the most popular is a story told in dance: "The Nutcracker13" ballet14. The music was written by Russian composer15 Peter Ilich Tchaikovsky in 1891.

　　The ballet is about a young girl named Clara. Clara is celebrating Christmas with her family and friends. One of her Christmas presents is a little device16 to open nuts-a nutcracker. It is shaped like a toy soldier. She dreams that the nutcracker comes to life as a good-looking prince.

　　Professional17 dance groups in many American cities perform the ballet at this time of year. They often use students from local ballet schools to dance the part of Clara and the other children in the story. This gives parents a chance to see their children perform.

这是一个很奇怪的现象。谁会相信成功的人并不聪明？但事实真的如此。

　　我们先来界定一下聪明的含义，聪明是指一个人的智商高出普通人的正常值。这样的人就
是我们生活中常说的聪明人。顺着这样的逻辑，我们会发现很多成功人士，也包括成功的企业
家和职业经理人，他们的智商并不突出，所以说并不聪明。

　　我至少与100位以上的成功企业家有过交流。就我个人的感受，他们中间最多只有不超过
10％的智商超群，其余90％的智商绝对就是普通人水平。但是，他们成功了。而另外，我们
也能够看到很多很多的聪明人，他们或者失败了，或者很失意。

　　其中原因是什么呢？中国有两句老话特别好，一句叫做“大道无术”；另一句叫做“聪明
反被聪明误”。还有痪浠耙埠苡幸馑迹凶觥按笾腔郏』薄薄?

　　我们或许还能够回想起中国企业界一些流星般的人物，他们嗅觉灵敏，脑筋活泛，他们甚
至可能是中国改革开放之后企业界最聪明的一类人。

　　比如说，他们能够在美国的“伟哥”尚未进入中国之前率先抢注中文商标并推出号称功能
相似的产品，以此赢得市场轰动；他们能够迅速洞察中国消费者的心理需要，精心包装各种概
念性的保健产品并迅速形成市场规模，然后又迅速消失；他们也能够在中央电视台的广告招标
会上豪情万丈，一掷亿金，然后仔细算计“奥迪”变“奔驰”的戏法。

　　由于聪明，他们反而难以建立起优秀的管理，难以建立起持续发展的事业。这样的现实真
的很难令人接受，而事实又的确如此。

　　因为聪明，所以总是耍弄聪明；因为心眼儿灵活，所以容易被新的机会诱惑，容易轻视扎
扎实实的积累，容易忽视企业发展规律，容易放松系统的管理……机会是很多的，聪明人眼前
总是五光十色，于是定力没有了，眼花缭乱了，最后栽倒在某个美丽的陷阱里。

　　而另外一些智商不突出的人，他们或者固执，或者平和，不会轻易相信某一个机会，也不会
轻易改变自己已经做出的决定，守住一条路往前不断地走；他们这种固执、平和反而使他们能够
走得更远，然后，在这种漫长的企业经营管理历程中，他们变得智慧了，变得大智慧了。

　　聪明的人多变，不聪明的人不变，而真正的智者善变。所以，所谓“大智慧”，其实是大事
少变，小事多变。而所谓“小机谋”，则可能是大事多变。在变来变去中，连自己也搞不清是怎
么回事了。当然，成功企业家中那10％既聪明又智慧的少数，怕是堪称人杰。但是，这10％不
是规律。规律是那90％并不聪明但很智慧的成功企业家。

　　彼得·得鲁克说：“管理是一种实践，其本质不在于知而在于行；其验证不在于逻辑，而在
于果。”从这个意义上来说，来自于实践的管理思考和经验总结更为宝贵，也更有借鉴意义
