谢谢！！

  燕子去了，有再来的时候；杨柳枯了，有再青的时候；桃花谢了，有再开的时候。但是，聪明的，你告诉我，我们的日子为什么一去不复返呢？－－是有人偷了他们吧：那是谁？又藏在何处呢？是他们自己逃走了吧：现在又到了哪里呢？

  我不知道他们给了我多少日子；但我的手确乎是渐渐空虚了。在默默里算着，八千多日子已经从我手中溜去；像针尖上一滴水在大海里，我的日子滴在时间的流里，没有声音，也没有影子。我不禁头涔涔而泪潸潸了。

  去的尽管去了，来的尽管来着；去来的中间，又怎样地匆匆呢？早上我起来的时候，小屋里射进两三方斜斜的太阳。太阳他有脚啊，轻轻悄悄地挪移了；我也茫茫然跟着旋转。于是－－洗手的时候，日子从水盆里过去；吃饭的时候，日子从饭碗里过去；默默时，便从凝然的双眼前过去。我觉察他去的匆匆了，伸出手遮挽时，他又从遮挽着的手边过去，天黑时，我躺在床上，他便伶伶俐俐地从我身上跨过，从我脚边飞去了。等我睁开眼和太阳再见，这算又溜走了一日。我掩着面叹息。但是新来的日子的影儿又开始在叹息里闪过了。

  在逃去如飞的日子里，在千门万户的世界里我能做些什么呢？只有徘徊罢了，只有匆匆罢了；在八千多日的匆匆里，除徘徊外，又剩些什么呢？过去的日子如轻烟，被微风吹散了，如薄雾，被初阳蒸融了；我留着些什么痕迹呢？我赤裸裸来到这世界，转眼间也将赤裸裸的回去吧？但不能平的，为什么偏要白白走这一遭啊？   你聪明的，告诉我，我们的日子为什么一去不复返呢？

  Money means many things to many people. For me, money is a necessary commodity but it is not of utmost importance.

  What I mean by this is, we need money for almost everything – food, shelter and clotting. We need money for not only our basic necessities but also for the ‘extras’ in life. By ‘extras’, I am referring to the items that border on comfort and luxury. Such items may include a better home, a better car, branded clothes, fine dining and holidays away from home.

  Many people consider money as the most important thing in life. They will slog and do anything to gain money. Nothing else matters to them. These people only want to keep a lot of money but do not like to spend it. If one takes this approach, a number of consequences can be foreseen.

  Firstly, such people will have few real friends. These people are usually very calculative and stingy. They are also self-centred and tend to be selfish.

  Secondly, these people will probably lead very boring lives – no holidays, no outings or any activity that requires money to be spent out of one’s pockets.

  Next, such people usually suffer far more stress than others in life. Each time and unforeseen expenditure arises, they will become unduly upset. Such people are seldom happy or lead peaceful or contented lives.

  I certainly will not like to fall into this category of people. As I said earlier, money is needed but it should not take top priority in one’s life. For me, health, happiness and quality of time with family and friends are more important. If there is extra money, I will be happy have some ‘extras’ but otherwise, leading a simple life with my immediate needs taken care of, is good enough. No amount of money can buy health or happiness.

  Money – a necessary commodity but It is not everything in life!

  盼望着，盼望着，东风来了，春天脚步近了。

  一切都像刚睡醒的样子，欣欣然张开了眼。山朗润起来了，水涨起来了，太阳的脸红起来了。

  小草偷偷地从土里钻出来，嫩嫩的，绿绿的。园子里，田野里，瞧去一大片一大片满是的。坐着，躺着，打两个滚，踢几脚球，赛几趟跑，捉几回迷藏。风轻悄悄的，草软绵绵的。

  桃树、杏树、梨树，你不让我，我不让你，都开满了花赶趟儿。红的像火，粉的像霞，白的像雪。花里带着甜味儿；闭了眼，村上仿佛已经满是桃儿、杏儿、梨儿。花下成千成百的蜜蜂嗡嗡地闹着，大小的蝴蝶飞来飞去。野花遍地是：杂样儿，有名字的，没名字的，散在草丛里像眼睛，像星星，还眨呀眨的。

  “吹面不寒杨柳风”，不错的，像母亲的手抚摸着你。风里带来些新翻的泥土的气息，混着青草味儿，还有各种花的香，都在微微润湿的空气里酝酿。鸟儿将巢安在繁花嫩叶当中，高兴起来了，呼朋引伴地卖弄清脆的喉咙，唱出宛转的曲子，跟轻风流水应和着。牛背上牧童的短笛，这时候也成天嘹亮地响着。

  雨是最寻常的，一下就是三两天。可别恼。看，像牛毛，像花针，像细丝，密密地斜织着，人家屋顶上全笼着一层薄烟。树叶儿却绿得发亮。小草儿也青得逼你的眼。傍晚时候，上灯了，一点点黄晕的光，烘托出一片安静而和平的夜。在乡下，小路上，石桥边，有撑着伞慢慢走着的人；地里还有工作的农民，披着蓑戴着笠。他们的房屋，稀稀疏疏的，在雨里静默着。

  天上风筝渐渐多了，地上孩子也多了。城里乡下，家家户户，老老小小，也都赶趟儿似的，一个个都出来了。舒活舒活筋骨，抖擞抖擞精神，各做各的一份事儿去。

  “一年之计在于春”，刚起头儿，有的是工夫，有的是希望。

  春天像刚落地的娃娃，从头到脚都是新的，它生长着。

  春天像小姑娘，花枝招展的，笑着，走着。

  春天像健壮的青年，有铁一般的胳膊和腰脚，他领着我们上前去。
