阅读能力高低直接影响我们接受外界信息和理解阅读资料的质量。对中学生而言，阅读效率高不仅阅读的速度要快，而且理解水平也要好。那么，阅读能力的提高显得非常重要。我整理了英语课外小短文带翻译，欢迎阅读!
People in the world is looking for happiness, but they don't know what is happiness. Some home very rich man said: "happiness is money." Also some people who have the power said: "happiness is power." But happiness is not money and power, remember a celebrity once said a words: "money and greed is not the happiness in the world."
It was over a weekend, I play on the bridge. Suddenly, I saw an old man is hard uphill in the cart. I saw this, ran in the past, to help grandpa pushed the car up the slope. Grandpa laughed happily said to me: "thank you!" I said: "don't mention it, lift a finger, everybody is responsible for", "at this point, my heart is full of sunshine, maybe this is happiness.
Also, in the earthquake. Although I only donate ten yuan, if everyone in the country to donate for 10 yuan, that will be seen the smiling faces of the innocent and lovely one children and those who have no home to rebuild their homes. This is a Chinese people's spirit of solidarity, to our compatriots in the future must be a beautiful and harmonious home! At this moment, I feel happy again.
Although this is just a small two things, but it makes me feel the happiness. And celebrity once said: "don't pay any costs and get happiness, that is a myth." As long as you give time to love, to help others, happiness will always be at your side!
世界上的人都在寻求幸福，但是，他们却不知道幸福是什么。有些家里很有钱的人说：“幸福是金钱。”还有些有权力的人说：“幸福是权力。”但幸福不是金钱和权力，记得有位名人说过一句话：“金钱和享受的贪求不是幸福。”
那是在一个周末，我在小桥上玩。突然，我看到一位老爷爷正推着车子艰难地上坡。我看见了，赶快跑过去，帮老爷爷把车子推上了坡。老爷爷笑咪咪地对我说：“谢谢你啊!”我说：“不用谢，‘举手之劳，人人有责’嘛，”此时，我心里充满了阳光，可能这就是幸福吧。
还有，在大地震中。虽然我只捐了十元钱，如果全国每个人都捐了十元钱，那看到的将是孩子们一张张天真可爱的笑脸和那些没有家的人重建家园。这是中国人民同胞的团结精神，将来的一定是美丽而又和谐的大家园!此时此刻，我又感到了幸福。
虽然这只是小小的两件事情，但它却使我感到了幸福。还有位名人说过：“想不付出任何代价而得到幸福，那是神话。”只要你时刻都去奉献爱心、帮助别人，幸福会永远在你的身边!
"I really will be drowned?" Looking at the sea in the mountain of reflection, slender wings and soft light and thin, hollow eyes wood but hesitate, seawater twist waste water waves the pale face with a smile a little crumpled, fuzzy hurriedly drove young foot back in the cold.
Actually I am jingwei, jingwei after one thousand two hundred, just as I was ruthless time to grade the misery, destined to try my best to fill and level up the sea with a bang, but will that do? I'm just a bird, a YuChi did not work, without the exercise of the birds!
Knew oneself will perish sooner or later, after all, he is the daughter of emperor yan! No one want me to disappear, no one want to feather fall amount, no human soul devouring dissipate, white feathers in the disorderly winds do exceptionally mottled, meets the bitter sea smell faint spit in the villi, the taste of blood.
I am afraid of the sea, deep blue ghost is my eternal nightmare, shivering body, eyes lost their protection of the purple dream, jump, roll, sea black ice tongue scraping and messy wings, give it up, repeating 1010 a movement, however just startled look back, there is no way back.
Has been in the escape, all about grade terrible, like competition and the sea, with one of the competition, the boring scores, even DuoRu still leaning regardless of grade 3, although growth in the seaside, but must shrink into the volute in the same calendar, hope no end of the past.
"There will be choice?" Heart completely cold, now, "survival or death, don't like it, and must do, suddenly jump, like a moth to the magnificent, calm and steady into the distance...
“我真的会被淹死吗?”定定的看着海山中的倒影，纤细的羽翼柔亮而稀疏，空洞的双目木然而迟疑，海水拧笑着挥霍水浪把苍白的脸一点点揉碎，模糊在冰冷中逼得幼嫩的脚慌忙后退。
其实我就是精卫，一千二百年后的精卫，就像我被无情的时光赶到初三这片苦海上，注定要尽全力轰轰烈烈填平死海，可是能行吗?我只是一只鸟，一只羽翅未干，未经磨炼的鸟儿啊!
早就知道自己迟早会灭亡的，毕竟自己是炎帝之女啊!没有人希望我灰飞烟灭，没有人想要残羽凋零飘飞，没有人欲看灵魂吞噬消散，洁白的羽毛在乱风摧残中格外斑驳，苍苦的海腥味在绒毛中幽幽吐出，如血的味道。
我是惧怕海的，深蓝的幽灵是我永远的梦魇，身体瑟瑟发抖，眼睛失去了保护的梦幻紫色，海轻蔑的跳跃、翻滚，幽黑的冰舌撕扯着凌乱的翅膀，放弃吧，重复着一千一零一次的动作，然而回头才愕然，后面已经没有路了。
一直在逃避，关于初三的一切可怕，像与海的竞争，你追我赶的争夺，枯燥乏味的分数，哪怕踱入初三依旧埋头不顾，虽在海边成长，可却偏偏缩入蜗壳守着不变的日历，盼望没有尽头的过去。
“还有选择吗?”心彻底冰凉，如今，“生存或死亡”，不喜欢，也必须做，倏地一跃而起，宛如飞蛾扑火的壮丽，平静而坚定的投向远方……
Today, I read the fairy tale "jingwei reclamation".
Originally, yan's daughter, called jingwei, she is very big, small effort often followed her father - yan emperor out of the city, hunting, hands and feet are very flexible.
One day, she saw the son of the dragon king - three prince, prince, said: "I am the son of the dragon king, what are you from?" Jingwei said: "I am the daughter of emperor yan, you have what fantastic." Say that finish, she USES the foot kicks, a hard kick a ball clay by three prince's mouth, three prince gas fire emit three zhangs, but there is no way he jingwei, had to depressed to the back of the east China sea.
After a period of time, jingwei water to play. Three prince saw, exulting in the heart, the heart thinks: "I the day of vengeance is finally here. Then he drowned jingwei. After the death of jingwei turned into a bird. From then on, every day she go to xishan fetch some stones, wood, into the east China sea. She didn't want to let people drown to the east China sea.
This is the famous "jingwei reclamation" myth.
今天，我读了《精卫填海》的神话故事。
原来，炎帝的小女儿叫精卫，她从小力气就很大，常常跟着她的父亲—炎帝出城打猎，手脚也很灵活。
有一天，她看见了龙王的儿子—三太子，三太子说：“我是龙王的儿子，你是什么人?”精卫说：“我还是炎帝的女儿呢，你有什么了不起。”说完，她用脚使劲一踢地，把一团泥巴踢到了三太子的嘴里，三太子气的火冒三丈，但他拿精卫没有办法，只好垂头丧气的回东海。
过了一段时间，精卫下水去玩。三太子见了，心里暗喜，心想：“我报仇的日子终于来了”。于是他就把精卫淹死了。精卫死后，变成了一只小鸟。从此，她每天都去西山叼回些石子、木块，丢到东海里。她不想再让去东海的人们被淹死。
这就是著名的《精卫填海》的神话故事。

Even better, thisprocess makes the neighboring areas of the brain more resilient as well. This means thatlearning can make what you already know stronger, too.
总是很多人都认为，要活到老学到老，终身学习是值得的。科学研究不断发现，这种想法是正确的。并且科学技术正使得这种想法实现起来更加简单——成年人现在就可以在网上学习大学的课程，想学多长时间都可以。更妙的是，学习的这个过程会让大脑的分周边区域也更加富有弹性，这意味着学习也会让你更深入地了解已经知道的内容。
So, without further ado, here are ten more reasons why you should always keep learning:
因此，事不宜迟，看看你应该持续学习的十个理由吧。

2.让大脑保持健康。2010年在加州大学欧文分校的一项研究表明，学习会让你的大脑以较高的水平进行运转。就像你需要锻炼身体肌肉和心血管系统一样，你也需要锻炼大脑，让它处于最佳状态。

4.为你的孩子树立积极的行为榜样。如果你希望孩子在学校里能专心学习并花时间去学习课程，在日常生活里，你也应该致力于自我改善。

If you'realways learning, this means that when you face a familiar problem, you may be able to come atit with an unorthodox solution, based on your new knowledge.
8.用崭新的视角来观察世界。 科学家们相信，所谓创造性，绝大程度上是把一种环境中学到的技能应用到了另外一种环境中。如果你总在学习，那么当你遇到一个熟悉的问题时，你很可能利用所学的新知识，使用一种非传统的解决方案来解决问题。
9. Keep Abreast of Technology. Computers become obsolete within a few years. If you're notconstantly learning new things about technology, you're falling behind. Which means you'llmiss out on social, business and technological opportunities, simply because you didn't keepup.
9.紧跟科技潮流。计算机在几年内就可能过时。如果你不经常学习和科技相关的新事物，那你就落伍了。你会错过社交、商业和科技上的机遇，而这一切仅仅是因为你没有跟上科技的潮流而已。
10.All the Greats are Doing It. Think of anyone, in any field, who is truly brilliant at what theydo. They got where they are through constant self-improvement. Truly talented people areconstantly learning and implementing new skills. It's worth joining them in this passion.
10.所有的成功人士都在学。随便想想，在任何领域非常突出的人士，他们都是通过不断的自我提高才成功的。真正有才华的人们都在不断地学习并应用新的技能。和他们一样保持学习的激情，是非常值得的。
There are plenty of fabulous reasons to keep learning new things, regardless of what they are. Forming new connections in your brain doesn't have to be difficult, though it would certainly bea good idea to make sure it was some of the time. Now, it’s time to go out there and just do it.
