阅读是人们获取信息的重要手段,更是学习英语的主要途径之一。在我国,由于英语是非母语的学习,在学习过程中没有语言环境的熏陶,那么,阅读便成为人们获取信息、提高英语水平的有效途径。我整理了300字英语美文摘抄，欢迎阅读!
Along with feelings of insecurity, loss of control and nervousness, physical effects, including sleep issues, fatigue and loss of appetite, are caused by homesickness. We gathered a few psychologist-backed tips to help ease homesickness:
想家除了会导致不安感，还有失控、紧张，对身体也有影响(包括失眠、疲劳、没有胃口)。我们搜集了一些心理学家提供的帮助缓解想家的建议：
1. Realize that feeling homesick is 100 percent normal.
你要知道想家很正常。
Almost everyone experiences homesickness when moving to a new place — some people might just be better at hiding it. Being homesick is not a sign of personal shortcoming.
几乎每个人到了一个新地方都会想家，只是有些人更善于隐藏这种情绪，想家不是缺点。
2. Make connections with new people in comfortable settings.
在舒服的气氛中和别人交朋友。
Feeling homesick when separated from loved ones motivates people to want to be with those supportive people. But keep in mind that everyone is different when it comes to forming those new relationships. When making new connections, it’s best to stick to the style that works for you in order to mitigate homesickness.
和亲人分开后会想家，这会使人们想要和能帮他们的人在一起。但你要记住交新朋友时每个人都有各自的特点，交朋友时你最好坚持适合自己的风格，以便缓解想家的感觉。
3. Practice self-compassion.
自我同情。
Self-compassion is loving yourself just as you love the ones you care about. The most important step in practicing self-compassion is substituting negative, critical thoughts about yourself with thoughts that are more supportive and kind.
自我同情就是像爱你在乎的人那样爱你自己。自我同情最重要的方法就是用更积极更宽容的想法对待自己，取代以前消极的、批评的想法。
4. Keep tabs on your negativity.
密切注意自己的消极情绪。
It’s also useful to ask yourself how much of your homesickness is due to an event and how much is from how you’re perceiving a situation. Taking a step back is recommended, instead of falling into the trap of a negative outlook. You can silence negative thoughts in many ways, including reciting positive mantras, keeping a journal or even taking a walk in a park.
问问自己你想家跟某件事本身有多大关系，跟你对待这件事的态度有多大关系，这个方法也很有用。你最好退一步思考这个问题，而不是深深陷入消极的想法中。你可以用很多方法来抑制消极情绪，比如背诵一些积极的名言、写日记，甚至还可以去公园里散散步。
Too many people think of happiness as the ultimate goal of life. But, if you’re waiting for happiness to arrive then it’s likely that it never will!
有太多人把幸福当作人生的终极目标，但如果你只是等待幸福来敲门，幸福可能永远都不会到来!
You’re always wanting something more, always looking forward to a time when you’ll be “happy”. And, if you fall into this trap, you’ll never reach that goal. Happiness should not be your life’s goal, it should be your life! The only time to be happy is right now! It’s state of mind, not a set of accomplishments or the accumulation of material things. You must accept that life will always have challenges and things will not always go your way.
你总是期待得到更多，总是期待着你变“幸福”的那一刻。然而，如果你陷入这种思维陷阱，那你永远也达不到这个目的。幸福不该是生活的目标，它应该是生活本身!幸福唯一该存在的时刻，就是每时每刻的现在!它是一种心态，而不是一连串的成就，或者物质财富的积累。你必须要接受的是：生活中总会有挑战，事情不会总朝着你期望的方向发展。
Instead of feeling disappointed when things don’t work out the way you’d hoped, feel grateful for the experience. Instead of dreaming of a brighter, happier, richer tomorrow, make today as wonderful as you can.
事情的发展不如你所愿时不要沮丧，你要对拥有这次体验心存感激。不要幻想着明天会更美好、更幸福、更富有，要尽可能精彩地过好今天。
Happiness is a conscious decision and that I can make it right now. Thinking of the future and having aspirations is essential to leading a happy and fulfilled life. The trick is not to let thoughts of the future overshadow your enjoyment of the present and the appreciation of the things and people you have in your life right now!
幸福是我此刻就能做出的有意识的决定。思考未来、胸怀大志是幸福美满生活的基础，关键在于不要让对未来的思考掩盖当下的快乐和对现在生活中人和事的感激!
There is no way to happiness: happiness is the way!
没有通往幸福的路：幸福本身就是一条路!
Stop waiting for happiness to arrive and simply decide to be happy! It’s not some great goal or destination, it’s a journey and a way of life.
不要再等着幸福登门了，你需要做的仅仅是决定幸福地活着!这不是什么伟大的目的目标，只是生命的旅程和道路。
A woman baked chapatti for members of her family and an extra one for a hungry passerby. She kept the extra chapatti on the window sill. Every day, a hunchback came and took away the chapatti. Instead of expressing gratitude, he muttered the following words as he went his way: “The evil you do remains with you: The good you do, comes back to you!”
一个女人给家人烤薄饼，还留出一个给饥肠辘辘的路人。她总是把留出的那个放在窗台上，每天都有一个驼背的人来拿走薄饼。他没说过一句“谢谢”，反而总是边走边咕哝着：“善有善报，恶有恶报!”
The woman felt irritated. “Not a word of gratitude,” she said to herself… “Everyday this hunchback utters this jingle! What does he mean?” One day, she decided to do away with him. She added poison to the chapatti she prepared for him!
女人很生气，她自言自语地说：“这个驼背人从没说过谢谢，却每天都重复这句话，是什么意思呀?”一天，她决定弄死他，就在为他准备的薄饼上下了毒。
As she was about to keep it on the window sill, her hands trembled. “What is this I am doing?” she said. Immediately, she threw the chapatti into the fire, prepared another one. As usual, the hunchback came, picked up the chapatti and muttered the words: “The evil you do, remains with you: The good you do, comes back to you!”
她正要把饼放在窗台上，手就开始颤抖了，她说：“我在做什么?”她马上把饼扔进了火里，重新做了一张。一切照旧，驼背人来了，拿起薄饼，咕哝着：“善有善报，恶有恶报!”
Every day, as the woman placed the chapatti on the window sill, she offered a prayer for her son who had gone to a distant place to seek his fortune.
每天女人把饼放窗台上时都为去远方赚钱的儿子祈祷。
That evening, there was a knock on the door. As she opened it, she was surprised to find her son standing in the doorway. He was hungry and weak. As he saw his mother, he said, “Mom, it’s a miracle I’m here. While I was but a mile away, I was so famished that I collapsed. I would have died, but just then an old hunchback passed by. He was kind enough to give me a whole chapatti. He said, “Your need is greater than mine!”
那天晚上，有人敲门，她打开门惊讶地发现儿子站在门口，他很饿很虚弱。一看见妈妈他就说：“妈妈，我能回来真是奇迹。离家还有一英里远的时候，我太饿了走不动了。我差点儿就死了，但就在那时一个老驼背人路过，他很善良给了我一整张饼。他说：‘你比我更需要它’。”
She remembered the poisoned chapatti that she had made that morning. Had she not burnt it in the fire, it would have been eaten by her own son!
她想起了那天早上做的有毒的饼，要不是她把饼烧了，就会被她儿子吃了!
It was then that she realized the significance of the words: “The evil you do remains with you: The good you do, comes back to you!” Do good and don’t ever stop doing good, even if it is not appreciated at that time.
那时她才意识到这句话的重要性：“善有善报，恶有恶报!”多行善举，即使当时不被人感激也要坚持下去。

英语短文 : Something unexpected The routine of following lesson after lesson can be very tiring. Recess time always seems so far away. (课间休息时间似乎总是那么遥远。)The bell rings. One teacher leaves, another appears. What we need is a break from the monotony.(我们需要的是从单调中有一个突破)。One morning, we were a lesson into the routine when I felt that it was going to be just another day of endless studying. After what seemed a long time the bell rang for the second period.The Mathematics teacher left. Next would be Geography with Mrs. Lee. The short break between the going of one teacher and the coming of the next was when we had the chance to talk and have some fun. It usually lasted a minute or two, sometimes more. (它通常持续一两分钟，有时甚至更长)。This time no teacher appeared even after five minutes. We were having a great time. Ten minutes-- Mrs. Lee still did not appear. Our monitor went out in search of her. A few minutes later, he returned to announce that Mrs. Lee was absent. We cheered.This was unexpected, but it was welcome. (这是始料未及的， 但它是受欢迎的。)So for forty minutes we literally fooled around. The monitor could do nothing. What a goodtime we had. The bell rang again. Forty minutes of fun seemed so short, but it was great while it lasted. Again no teacher appeared. It was another case of an absent teacher. ( 这是另一种情况下的教师缺席。)We cheered even louder because it was , a double- period which meant we were free until recess. Altogether we had one hundred and twenty minutes -- two hours, of no lesson. It wasunexpected of course and I have to say I enjoyed it very much. I would not mindhaving more of this unexpected thing. Monotony = staying the same and not changing and therefore boring.
