Ah, beautiful Paris. For centuries, this city has attracted people to enjoy outdoor concerts of French folk songs such as classical music, jazz, opera or chansons. Parisians love their music. The starry sky is their auditorium. You can also hear concerts in castles and cathedrals. In Paris, music will never end.
Don't miss the highlight of Paris night: eating out. Parisians are proud of their delicious food. As it should be; Right in front of you, Notre Dame. Standing in the square in front of the cathedral. Here, you are standing in the center of France. All distances are measured from the front of Notre Dame. Every road in France leads to her front door. All French kings and leaders have come here to commemorate important days and give thanks. Notre Dame is the heart of Paris and France.
Your trip to Paris has just begun. You are just beginning to discover the charm of this ancient city. May the rest of your life be unforgettable. The company, even the company that goes home at night, can't sit like the latter, although it may be a more concentrated form.
Many times, I find that being alone is good for my health. Being accompanied, no matter how good the company is, will soon get bored and interest will dissipate. I like being alone. I haven't met a better partner than loneliness. When we stand in a crowd in a foreign country, we are usually more lonely than when we are alone indoors. A person who thinks or works is always lonely, so let him go where he wants to go. Loneliness is not measured by the distance from one's companions. A really diligent student is as lonely as an ascetic in the desert in the crowded hive of Cambridge College. A farmer can work, farm or cut trees alone in the fields or forests all day, but he doesn't feel lonely because he has work to do. However, when he comes home at night, he can't sit down and think alone in his room. Instead, he must go to a place where he can "see the villagers" for entertainment, just as he thought, to compensate for his five days of loneliness; So he doesn't understand how students can sit at home alone for a day and a night without feeling tired and "depressed"; But he didn't realize that although the students were indoors, they still cultivated in their own fields and cut down in their own forests. Just like a farmer working in his fields and forests, students will seek recreation like that farmer. Dashan will make friends, but the way of entertainment may be simpler.
Excerpts from English Short Essays (3)
If there is only one resident in a square mile, it's like where I live. A person's value lies not in his skin.
Our time together is very short, and there is not enough time for each other to get anything valuable new. Meet three meals a day, we are like stale milk, but let each other taste a new taste. We must agree on some rules, that is, what we call etiquette and politeness, in order to make this frequent gathering go on peacefully, and we must also agree that we don't need to quarrel. We met at the post office, in social situations and by the fire every night; We live a crowded life, interfering with each other and binding each other. I think we lost respect for each other because of this. Of course, for all important and sincere communication, a little less is enough. Think of the women workers in the factory-they will never be lonely, even in their dreams. It would be much better if there was only one resident in a square mile, like me. A person's value lies not in his appearance.
Excerpts from English short passages
Excerpts from English Prose (1) People's youth is an e to.
Why is this happening? Because in youth, life is full of strange and bitter incredible things. When we were young, we felt the strangeness, bitterness and inconceivability of life very strongly and inexplicably. What is its essence? Its essence is this: when I was young, although I was rich, I was poor; Although powerful, it has nothing; Wealth and glory can be seen everywhere in the world. You can breathe it, smell it and taste it. You can't help but feel your inner self-confidence and deeply feel the whole intoxicated life-the luckiest and richest beautiful and happy life known to mankind so far. As long as we decide to move forward and work hard, it will belong to us immediately and forever. However, we know that we really can never catch anything, never get anything, and always have anything. Everything passed in a hurry, leaving nothing behind. As soon as we filmed it, it disappeared, floated away and never came back. Then, with a dull pain in my heart, I saw my true colors and the inevitable direction of my future life.
Excerpts from English Short Essays (3)
A young man is so strong, so crazy, so confident and so lost. He has everything, but he can't use anything. He throws the great shoulders of his strength at the illusory obstacles forever. He is a parison.
Young people are strong, enthusiastic and confident, but they are easily confused and confused. Although there are countless opportunities, they can't grasp them. Although they were strong and tried to break through the illusory barriers, they finally disappeared in the middle of the vast sea like waves. He reached out and tried to catch colorful clouds and smoke. He wanted everything in the world, longed to dominate everything, but in the end he got nothing. Finally, he was destroyed by his own strength, swallowed up by his own hunger and impoverished by his own wealth. He was careless about the accumulation of money or wealth, but in the end he was swallowed up by his own greed.
Excerpts from English Short Essays (4)
This is why when youth passes away, everyone will look back on that period of his life with infinite sadness and regret. This is a person's pain, sadness and regret. He knows that he once had great talent, but he wasted it. He knew that he once had great wealth, but he got nothing; He knew he had enough strength to do everything, but he never used it.
Youth disappears, and when you look back suddenly, no matter who you are, your heart will be filled with endless sadness and endless regret. Once brilliant, but abandoned, once rich, but nothing, once capable, but never used. A person who realizes that he has lost his youth is always full of sadness and regret in his memories.

ent。 It's like an unimportant event triggered a series of reactions. Let's assume that you are preparing a meal and looking after the baby at the same time. The telephone rang, which marked the beginning of a series of unexpected things.
Disaster. Behind all this confusion lies one immediately, because they greedily devour the dust in usually daunting places. But no one needs to get up the courage to enter a less pretentious antique shop. There is something in it, but he is too lazy to open it. Frank begged him to do so, and the businessman reluctantly pried it open. The contents of the box. Its structure and lines remind him of an Italian painting he saw behind a chimney, but because there are too many chimneys, the firemen are not sure which one it is. They knocked on the wall, listened to the man's cry and found the right chimney. After passing through a wall 18 inch thick, they found a man trapped in the chimney. Because it was very narrow, the man could not move, but the firemen finally cut a big hole in the wall and saved him. When the man with a sad face and dark body appeared, he immediately admitted that he had tried to break into the shop at night, but he was stuck in the chimney. He has been there for nearly ten hours. Even before the man was handed over to the police, justice had been done.
The word "justice" is often associated with courts. When someone is proved innocent by conclusive evidence, we can say that justice has been done. Justice is part of a complex legal machine. Those who seek justice take a bumpy road and are never sure that they will get justice in the end. No matter how clever and famous a judge is, he is also a human being and will make mistakes.
In some cases, justice is no longer an abstract concept. The implementation of rewards and punishments is not controlled by human will. At this time, justice plays a role as a vital force. When we say "he deserved it", we partially admit that some kind of environment makes justice work automatically.
One morning, a thief was caught in a large jewelry store, and the clerk couldn't help saying, "He deserved it." This is an old-fashioned and remodeled house. There are many abandoned fireplaces and tall and narrow chimneys in the shop. Towards noon, a salesgirl heard a muffled sound coming from the wall. As the cry was repeated several times, she ran to report to the manager, who immediately hung up the phone of the fire brigade. The shouts must have come from the chimney. However, because there are so many chimneys, the firemen are not sure which one. They determined which chimney the sound came from by tilting the chimney. They cut 18 inch thick wall and found a man stuck in the chimney. The man can't move because the chimney is too narrow. The fireman dug a big hole in the wall and finally rescued him. As soon as the depressed and dark-looking guy came out of the chimney, he admitted that he tried to go to the store the night before, but the chimney got stuck. He has been trapped in the chimney for nearly 10 hours. Even before the man was handed over to the police, justice was done.
Excerpts from English composition of Grade One.
If the past has taught us anything, it is that every action is a consensus. This idea, in my opinion, is the moral foundation of the universe; The same applies. Simple things can completely reshape your life. It's like the butterfly effect, you never know the heart.
Ah, Hoorns, interest in achievement and concern for future generations.
We didn't choose to be born. We can't choose our parents. We can't choose our historical era, the country where we were born, or the direct environment where we grew up. Most of us do not choose to die; We can't choose the time and conditions of death. But in this field where there is no choice, we can really choose how to live: brave or cowardly, respectable or disgraceful, purposeful or drifting. We decide what is important and what is trivial in life. We decided that either what we did or what we refused to do made us meaningful. However, no matter how indifferent the universe is to our choices and decisions, these choices and decisions are made by ourselves. We decided. We choose. When we decide and choose, our life is formed. In the end, forming our own destiny is the meaning of ambition.

It is not difficult to imagine what a world without ambition would be like. Maybe this will be a friendlier world: no desire, no friction, no disappointment. People will have time to reflect. What they do is not for themselves, but for the whole group. Competition will never intervene; Conflicts will be eliminated. People's nervousness will become a thing of the past. The pressure of creation will end. Art will no longer be trouble, its function will be purely to celebrate. People will live longer, because there will be fewer and fewer deaths caused by heart disease and stroke caused by fierce struggle. Anxiety will disappear. Time goes by, but ambition has long been far away from people's hearts.
Ah, how boring life will become in the long run!
There is a popular view that success is a myth, so ambition is also illusory. Does this mean that it is not actually successful? Achievement itself is empty? Compared with the strength of many sports, the efforts of men and women are insufficient? Obviously, not all success is admirable, and not all ambition is worth pursuing. One can naturally learn to choose between what is worth and what is not. But even the most cynical people secretly admit that success does exist and the significance of achievement is very important. It is really nonsense to say that what men and women do in the world is futile. The view that success does not exist is likely to cause confusion. The original intention of this view is to write off all motives for improving ability, pursuing interest in performance and caring for future generations.
We can't choose our birth, our parents, the historical period and country where we were born, or the surrounding environment where we grew up. Most of us can't choose death, nor can we choose the time or conditions of death. But among these choices, we can really choose our own way of life: whether we are brave or timid, whether we are aboveboard or brazen, whether we are determined or go with the flow. We decide what is important and what is not in life. We decide, either what we do or what we refuse to do, to show our own importance. But no matter how indifferent the world is to the choices and decisions we make, these choices and decisions are ultimately made by ourselves. We decide, we choose. And when we decide and choose, our life can be formed. It is ambition that ultimately determines our destiny.
