Students specialize in a particular type of practical joke: the hoax. Inviting the fire-brigade to put out a non-existent fire is a crude form of deception which no self-respecting student would ever indulge in, Students often create amusing situations which are funny to everyone except the victims. When a student recently saw two workmen using a pneumatic drill outside his university, he immediately telephoned the police and informed them that two students dressed up as workmen were tearing up the road with a pneumatic drill. As soon as he had hung up, he went over to the workmen and told them that if a policeman ordered them to go away, they were not to take him seriously. He added that a student had dressed up as a policeman and was playing all sorts of silly jokes on people. Both the police and the workmen were grateful to the student for this piece of advance information. The student hid in an archway nearby where he could watch and hear everything that went on. Sure enough, a policeman arrived on the scene and politely asked the workmen to go away. When he received a very rude reply from one of the workmen, he threatened to remove them by force. The workmen told him to do as he pleased and the policeman telephoned for help. Shortly afterwards, four more policemen arrived and remonstrated with the workmen. As the men refused to stop working, the police attempted to seize the pneumatic drill. The workmen struggled fiercely and one of them lost his temper. He threatened to call the police. At this, the police pointed out ironically that this would hardly be necessary as the men were already under arrest. Pretending to speak seriously, one of the workmen asked if he might make a telephone call before being taken to the station. Permission was granted and a policeman accompanied him to a call-box. Only when he saw that the man was actually telephoning the police did he realize that they had all been the victims of a hoax. 谁也弄不清为什么大学生好像比任何人都更喜欢恶作剧。大学生擅长一种特殊的恶作剧——戏弄人。请消防队来扑灭一场根本没有的大火是一种低级骗局，有自尊心的大学生决不会去做。大学生们常常做的是制造一种可笑的局面，使大家笑上一场，当然受害者是笑不出来的。 最近有个学生看见两个工人在学校门外用风钻干活，马上打电话 报告 警察，说有两个学生装扮成工人，正在用风钻破坏路面。挂上电话后，他又马上来到工人那儿，告诉他们若有个警察来让他们走开，不要把他当回事，还对工人说，有个学生常装扮成警察无聊地同别人开玩笑。警察与工人都对那个学生事先通报情况表示感谢。 那个学生躲在附近一拱形的门廊里，在那儿可以看见、听到现场发生的一切。果然，警察来了，不礼貌地请工人离开此地;但其中一个工人粗鲁地回了几句。于是警察威胁要强行使他们离开。工人说，悉听尊便。警察去打电话叫人。一会儿工夫，又来了4个警察，规劝工人离开。由于工人拒绝停下手中的活，警察想夺风钻。两个工人奋力抗争，其中一个发了火，威胁说要去叫警察。警察听后讥讽地说，这大可不必，因为他俩已被逮捕了。其中一个工人装模作样地问道，在被带往警察局之前，是否可以打一个电话。警察同意了，陪他来到一个投币地电话前，当他看到那个工人真的是给警察挂电话，才恍然大悟，原来他们都成一场骗局的受害者。 英语短篇美文朗诵篇二 Daniel Mendoza Boxing matches were very popular in England two hundred years ago. In those days, boxers fought with bare fists for Prize money. Because of this, they were known as 'prize-fighters'. However, boxing was very crude, for there were no rules and a prize-fighter could be seriously injured or even killed during a match. One of the most colourful figures in boxing history was Daniel Mendoza who was born in 1764. The use of gloves was not introduced until 1860 when the Marquis of Queensberry drew up the first set Of rules. Though he was technically a prize-fighter, Mendoza did much to change crude prize-fighting into a sport, for he brought science to the game. In his day, Mendoza enjoyed tremendous popularity. He was adored by rich and poor alike. Mendoza rose to fame swiftly after a boxing-match when he was only fourteen years old. This attracted the attention of Richard Humphries who was then the most eminent boxer in England. He offered to train Mendoza and his young pupil was quick to learn. In fact, Mendoza soon became so successful that Humphries turned against him. The two men quarrelled bitterly and it was clear that the argument could only be settled by a fight. A match was held at Stilton where both men fought for an hour. The public bet a great deal of money on Mendoza, but he was defeated. Mendoza met Humphries in the ring on a later occasion and he lost for a second time. It was not until his third match in 1790 that he finally beat Humphries and became Champion of England. Meanwhile, he founded a highly successful Academy and even Lord Byron became one of his pupils. He earned enormous sums of money and was paid as much as &100 for a single appearance. Despite this, he was so extravagant that he was always in debt. After he was defeated by a boxer called Gentleman Jackson, he was quickly forgotten. He was sent to prison for failing to pay his debts and died in poverty in 1836. 两百年前， 拳击 比赛在英国非常盛行。当时，拳击手们不戴手套，为争夺奖金而搏斗。因此，他们被称作“职业拳击手”。不过，拳击是十分野蛮的，因为当时没有任何比赛规则，职业拳击手有可能在比赛中受重伤，甚至丧命。 拳击史上最引人注目的人物之一是丹尼尔.门多萨，他生于1764年。1860年昆斯伯里侯爵第一次为拳击比赛制定了规则，拳击比赛这才用上了手套。虽然门多萨严格来讲不过是个职业拳击手，但在把这种粗野的拳击变成一种 体育运动 方面，他作出了重大贡献。是他把科学引进了这项运动。门多萨在的全盛时期深受大家欢迎，无论是富人还是穷人都对他祟拜备至。 门多萨在14岁时参加一场拳击赛后一举成名。这引起当时英国拳坛名将理查德.汉弗莱斯的注意。他主动提出教授门多萨，而年少的门多萨一学就会。事实上，门多萨不久便名声大振，致使汉弗莱斯与他反目为敌。两个人争吵不休，显而易见，只有较量一番才能解决问题。于是两人在斯蒂尔顿设下赛场，厮打了一个小时。公众把大笔赌注下到了门多萨身上，但他却输了。后来，门多萨与汉弗莱斯再次在拳击场上较量，门多萨又输了一场。直到1790年他们第3次对垒，门多萨才终于击败汉弗莱斯，成了全英拳击冠军。同时，他建立了一所拳击学校，办得很成功，连拜伦勋爵也成了他的学生。门多萨挣来大笔大笔的钱，一次出场费就多可达100英镑。尽管收入不少，但他挥霍无度，经常债台高筑。他在被一个叫杰克逊绅士的拳击手击败后很快被遗忘。他因无力还债而被捕入狱，最后于1836年在贫困中死去。 英语短篇美文朗诵篇三 By heart Some plays are so successful that they run for years on end. In many ways, this is unfortunate for the poor actors who are required to go on repeating the same lines night after night. One would expect them to know their parts by heart and never have cause to falter. Yet this is not always the case. A famous actor in a highly successful play was once cast in the role of an aristocrat who had been imprisoned in the Bastille for twenty years. In the last act, a gaoler would always come on to the stage with a letter which he would hand to the prisoner. Even though the noble was expected to read the letter at each performance, he always insisted that it should be written out in full. One night, the gaoler decided to play a joke on his colleague to find out if, after so many performances, he had managed to learn the contents of the letter by heart. The curtain went up on the final act of the play and revealed the aristocrat sitting alone behind bars in his dark cell. Just then, the gaoler appeared with the precious letter in his hands. He entered the cell and presented the letter to the aristocrat. But the copy he gave him had not been written out in full as usual. It was simply a blank sheet of paper. The gaoler looked on eagerly, anxious to see if his fellow-actor had at last learnt his lines. The noble stared at the blank sheet of paper for a few seconds. Then, squinting his eyes, he said: 'The light is dim. Read the letter to me.' And he promptly handed the sheet of paper to the gaoler. Finding that he could not remember a word of the letter either, the gaoler replied: 'The light is indeed dim, sire. I must get my glasses.' With this, he hurried off the stage. Much to the aristocrat's amusement, the gaoler returned a few moments later with a pair of glasses and the usual copy of the letter which he proceeded to read to the prisoner. 有些剧目十分成功，以致连续上演好几年。这样一来，可怜的演员们可倒霉了。因为他们需要一夜连着一夜地重复同样的台词。人们以为，这些演员一定会把台词背得烂熟，绝不会临场结巴的，但情况却并不总是这样。 有一位名演员曾在一出极为成功的剧目中扮演一个贵族角色，这个贵族已在巴士底狱被关押了20年。在最后一幕中，狱卒手持一封信上场，然后将信交给狱中那位贵族。尽管那个贵族每场戏都得念一遍那封信。但他还是坚持要求将信的全文写在信纸上。 一天晚上，狱卒决定与他的同事开一个玩笑，看看他反复演出这么多场之后，是否已将信的内容记熟了。大幕拉开，最后一幕戏开演，贵族独自一人坐在铁窗后阴暗的牢房里。这时狱卒上场，手里拿着那封珍贵的信。狱卒走进牢房，将信交给贵族。但这回狱卒给贵族的信没有像往常那样把全文写全，而是一张白纸。狱卒热切地观察着，急于想了解他的同事是否记熟了台词。贵族盯着纸看了几秒钟，然后，眼珠一转，说道：“光线太暗，请给我读一下这封信。”说完，他一下子把信递给狱卒。狱卒发现自己连一个字也记不住，于是便说：“陛下，这儿光线的确太暗了，我得去眼镜拿来。”他一边说着，一边匆匆下台。贵族感到非常好笑的是：一会儿工夫，狱卒重新登台，拿来一副眼镜以及平时使用的那封信，然后为那囚犯念了起来。

英语朗读短文1-3分钟范文一I am the wind，the gentle wind; I am the clouds，the slow，drifting clouds; I am the water，the silent water; I am the mountains，the boundless mountains… If you so want，I will be the gentle wind that will wrap around your lonely spirit! If you so desire，I will be the slow，drifting clouds that will unquestioningly be your support! If you so wish，I will be that silent water，without a murmur，protecting you by your side. If you so will，I will love you unrelentingly，just like those boundless，unbroken mountain ranges and valleys! But，I regret I am not the wind and not able to take care of you. I hate that I am not the clouds and not able to bring you warmth; I pity myself that I am not the water and not able to be so pure; I am angry that I am not the mountains and not able to have my love will be as immovable as I would like. I can only be myself this time，my mortal，earthly self，my only self，the only self that I can ever hope to be. I thirst for love but I do not understand her deep mystery. I strive for transcendence but I would rather be silent and nameless. I want to be mature but I would rather remain innocent. I would like that she love me，but I do not know even if I truly love her! Endless searching，thirsting，striving，pursuing-where are my goals? Where is my future? In this mundane world，I am one lonely speck; in this universe I am a powerless particle of dust. My love，thought beautiful，is nothing great in itself. And so，I ask only to live as well as I can. In truth，there is no need to live one‘s life basking in glory，rising above men—— so long as one’s life has some value，has some security… Fearless and capricious，love will cause me great pain. Youth，transient and inconstant，will bring me loneliness. Work，busy and mindless，will make me lost. I am just searching for and waiting for some of that which shines，that which is radiant in life…我是风，悄悄的风;我是云，慢慢的云;我是水，静静的水;我是山，连绵的山…… 假如你情愿，我愿做那悄悄的风抚慰着你寂寞的心灵!假如你情愿，我就是那慢慢的云沉着地让你依偎!假如你情愿，我来做你身边静静的水默默地将你守护!假如你情愿，我将会不懈地爱你就象那连绵不时的山川! 我悔我不是风，由于我不够体恤;我恨我不是云，由于我不够温顺;我怨我不是水，由于我不够明澈;我怒我不是山，由于我的爱不够坚决…… 我只能做回本人，伟大的本人，独一的本人，寻求中的本人。我盼望爱情但是却不懂她的深奥，我向往不伟大但是却甘愿默默无名。我追求成熟但是我宁愿单纯。我但愿她能喜欢我，但是我又不晓得我能否喜欢她。寻求，盼望，向往，追求，哪里是我的目的和将来…… 俗人间我是孤单的一粒，宇宙间我是有为的尘埃，我的爱虽然美妙，但并不伟大…… 所以我只是想好好的活着…… 其实人生未必要过的轰轰烈烈，高人一等，。只需过的有价值，活的很踏实…… 无畏的爱，会让我很苦楚;悸动的青春，会让我很寂寞;繁忙的任务，会让我容易迷茫…… 我只是在寻觅，我亦是在等候英文散文朗读4篇。生命中的灿烂光芒……英语朗读短文1-3分钟范二Think about the last time you felt a negative emotion---like stress, anger, or frustration. What was going through your mind as you were going through that negativity? Was your mind cluttered with thoughts? Or was it paralyzed, unable to think?The next time you find yourself in the middle of a very stressful time, or you feel angry or frustrated, stop. Yes, that’s right, stop. Whatever you’re doing, stop and sit for one minute. While you’re sitting there, completely immerse yourself in the negative emotion.Allow that emotion to consume you. Allow yourself one minute to truly feel that emotion. Don’t cheat yourself here. Take the entire minute---but only one minute---to do nothing else but feel that emotion.When the minute is over, ask yourself, “Am I wiling to keep holding on to this negative emotion as I go through the rest of the day?”Once you’ve allowed yourself to be totally immersed in the emotion and really fell it, you will be surprised to find that the emotion clears rather quickly.If you feel you need to hold on to the emotion for a little longer, that is OK. Allow yourself another minute to feel the emotion.When you feel you’ve had enough of the emotion, ask yourself if you’re willing to carry that negativity with you for the rest of the day. If not, take a deep breath. As you exhale, release all that negativity with your breath.This exercise seems simple---almost too simple. But, it is very effective. By allowing that negative emotion the space to be truly felt, you are dealing with the emotion rather than stuffing it down and trying not to feel it. You are actually taking away the power of the emotion by giving it the space and attention it needs. When you immerse yourself in the emotion, and realize that it is only emotion, it loses its control. You can clear your head and proceed with your task.Try it. Next time you’re in the middle of a negative emotion, give yourself the space to feel the emotion and see what happens. Keep a piece of paper with you that says the following:Stop. Immerse for one minute. Do I want to keep this negativity? Breath deep, exhale, release. Move on!This will remind you of the steps to the process. Remember; take the time you need to really immerse yourself in the emotion. Then, when you feel you’ve felt it enough, release it---really let go of it. You will be surprised at how quickly you can move on from a negative situation and get to what you really want to do!译文：清算心灵的空间想下你最近一次感遭到的消极心情，例如压力，愤恨或波折。当你处于那种消极心情时你在想些什么?是充溢了混乱的思绪?还是陷于麻痹，无法考虑?下次当你发现本人处于十分紧张的形态时，或是你感到愤慨或受挫时，停上去。是的，对，停上去。不论你在做什么，停上去坐上一分钟。坐着的时分，让本人完全沉溺在那种消极心情之中。让那种消极心情吞噬你，给本人一分钟的工夫去逼真地领会那种心情，不要诈骗本人。花整整一分钟的工夫 – 但只要一分钟 – 去领会那种心情，别的什么也不要做。当一分钟完毕时，问本人：“我能否想在明天余下的工夫里持续坚持这种消极心情?”一旦你允许本人完全沉溺在那种心情当中并逼真领会到它，你就会惊奇地发现那种心情很快就消逝了。假如你觉得还需求点工夫来坚持那种心情，没关系，再给本人一分钟的工夫去领会它。假如你觉得本人曾经充沛领会了那种心情，那就问本人能否情愿在明天余下的工夫里持续坚持这种消极心情。假如不情愿，那就深呼吸。呼气的时分，把一切的消极心情都释放出去。这个办法似乎很复杂 – 简直是太过复杂了，但却十分无效。经过给本人空间真正领会消极心情，你是在处置这种心情，而不是将其压制下去然后尽量不加理睬。经过给予消极心情所需的空间和关注，你实践上是在消解其力气。当你沉溺在那种心情之中，并且明白它只是一种心情时，你就摆脱了它的控制。你可以清算头脑并持续做事。你下次覆盖消极心情时，试一下这种做法，给本人一点空间来领会那种心情并看看会发作什么。随身带一张写着如下字句的纸条：停上去。沉溺一分钟。我想坚持这种消极心情吗?深吸气，呼气，抓紧。持续做事!这会提示你该怎样去做。记住，要花你所需求的工夫去真正沉溺于那种心情之中。然后，当你感到本人曾经充沛领会到了它。你会惊奇地发现，你很快就能摆脱消极心情，并开始做你真正想做的事情!

周作人所说的“美文”开始近似于西方的Essay,后来又接近于晚明小品,在这种融会中西,贯通古今的借鉴、模仿、创造中他形成自己独特的,也是经典的“美文”思想。下面是我带来的初中英语朗诵美文，欢迎阅读!初中英语朗诵美文精选 勇气 The courage of life is often a less dramatic spectacle than the courage of a final moment; but it is no lessa magnificent mixture of triumph and tragedy. A man does what he must in spite of personal consequences，in spite of obstacles and dangers and pressures and that is the basis of all human morality. To be courageous…requires no exceptional qualifications，no magic formula，no special combination of time，place and circumstance.It is an opportunity that sooner or later is presented to us all. Politics merely furnishes one arena which imposes special tests of courage.In whatever arena of life one may meet the challengeof courage，whatever may be the sacrifices he faces if he follows his conscience，the loss of his friends，his fortune，his contentment， even the esteem of his fellow men，each man must decide for himself the course he will follow. The stories of past courage can define that ingredient，they can teach，they can offer hope，they can provide inspiration.But they cannot supply courage itself. For this each man must look into his own soul. 生活之中的勇气，通常不会像千钧一发时的勇气那样充满戏剧性;但他人不失为是一个胜利与悲剧的壮观组合。一个人将个人得失，障碍、危险还有压力抛在脑后，只是做他必须做的，而这便是人类一切道德的基础。 勇敢，不需要突出的品质，不需要秘诀，不需要天时地利，每个人或早或晚都有机会。政治不过是对勇气进行特别考验的一个竞技场而已，在人生的每一个竞技场上勇气都会前来挑战。如果你跟随你的良心，那么任何东西都可能被牺牲：朋友，财产，满足，甚至是别人对你的尊重。走哪条路只能由自己来决定。前人的 故事 可以告诉你什么叫勇敢。他们能够教你，能够给你希望和灵感，但不能给你真正的勇气，要得到它你必须要发掘自己的灵魂。 初中英语朗诵美文阅读 学会活在当下 To a large degree, the measure of our peace of mind is determined by how much we are ableto live in the present moment. Irrespective of what happened yesterday or last year, and whatmay or may not happen tomorrow, the present moment is where you are -- always! Without question, many of us have mastered the neurotic art of spending much our livesworrying about a variety of things -- all at once. We allow past problems and future concernsto dominate our present moments,so much that we end up anxious,frustrated, depressed,and hopeless. On the flip side, we also postpone our gratification, our stated priorities, andour happiness, often convincing ourselves future will be better than today. Unfortunately, thesame mental dynamics that tell us to look toward the future will only repeat themselves sothat"someday "never actually arrives. John Lennon once said,"Life is what~ s happening whilewe"re busy making other plans. "When we"re busy making "other plans", our children are busygrowing up, the people we love are moving away and dying, our bodies are getting out ofshape, and our dreams are slipping away. In short, we miss out on life. Many people live as if life were a dress rehearsal for some later date. It isn't. In fact, no onehas a guarantee that he or she will be here tomorrow. Now is the only time we have, and theonly time that we have any control over. When our attention is in the present moment, wepush fear from our minds. Fear is the concern over events that might happen in the future --we won't have enough money, our children will get into trouble, we will get old and die,whatever. 在很大程度上，我们内心的平和取决于我们在多大程度上享受眼前的生活。不管昨天或去年发生了什么，也不管明天将会发生什么或不会发生什么，现实才是你所在之处——生活就是这样。 毫无疑问，在我们的生活中，许多人总是这样的神经兮兮，他们担心各种各样的事情，而且会突然之间担心许多事情。我们让过去与未来的问题支配我们现有的时间，以致于整日焦躁不安、委靡不振、精神沮丧甚至感到绝望。另一方面，我们又永远不让自己满足、享有优先权和幸福感，而且还经常说服自己将来会比今天好。不幸的是是，同样的告诉我们去展望未来的精神动力，它只是不断重复自己，以致于“某一天”永远不能到来。约翰·列侬曾说：“生活就是我们忙于制订 其他计划 时所发生的事。”当我们忙于制订“其他计划”时，我们的孩子忙于成长，我们所爱之人远离、并撒手尘寰，我们体型走样了，我们的梦想消失了。总之，我们错过了人生的大好光阴。 许多人活着，他们的生活就像未来日子的一次时装彩排。然而，并非如此。事实上，没有人能确保他或她明天还在。现在是我们拥有的惟一时间，是惟一能够把握的时间。当我们的注意力集中于现在时，我们便能消除恐惧。 恐惧是我们对未来事情的担心，比如我们没有足够的钱，我们的孩子会惹上麻烦，我们会变老，会离开人世，如此等等，不胜枚举。 初中英语朗诵美文学习 致 One word is too often profaned For me to profane it, One feeling too falsely distain'd For thee to distain it; One hope is too like despair For prudence to smother, And pity from thee more dear Than that from another. I can not give what men call love: But wilt thou accept not The worship the heart lifts above And the heavens reject not, And the desire of the moth for the star, Of the nigth for the morrow The devotion to something afar From the sphere of our sorrow. 有一个字经常被人亵渎 我不会再来亵渎 有一种感情被人假意鄙薄 你也不会再来鄙薄 有一种希望太似绝望; 何须再加提防 你的令悯之情无人能比， 温暖着我的心。 我不能给你人们所称的爱情， 但不知你能否接受 这颗心对你的仰慕之情， 连上天也不会拒绝。 犹如飞蛾扑向星星， 又如黑夜追求黎明。 这种思慕之情， 早已跳出了人间的苦境!
