last sunday nigt ,my parents asked me to go to a party with them.For me it was more a good lesson than a party ,Till now Istill thank it is the most impressive party that I had ever had.

After supper that night,we went to a small room in an old building.There seven people at my parents' age were sitting around,chatting and smiling. When we came in,an old lady with grey hair stood up from the chair and said to my father,again,you're the last,little boy.Then she brought each of us a cup of tea.they talked and talked,and it looked as if everyone had become much younger,especially my father.He seemed to be quite a naughty boy.

On our way home,my father told me that the lady was their primary school teacher.She was a very good teacher,and was always kind to every student.After she retired,some students suggested holding a dinner party for her birthday every year.She disagreed,but insisted that she hold a tea party every year.Last Sunday was her eightieth birthday.Only at that time did I realize the fine qualities of an ordinary teacher

上周日业,我的父母问我去参加一个聚会。这对我来说是一个很好的课程比起一个聚会,直到现在我仍想这是最令人难忘的聚会,我有过。

晚饭后,那天晚上,我们去了一个小房间里,在一个旧的大楼。七人在我父母的年龄,围坐在一起聊天,微笑。我们进来的时候,一位老妇人,有着灰白的头发从椅子上站了起来,说,我的父亲,再一次,你是最后一天,小男孩。然后她带我们每一个人都一杯茶。他们谈了又谈,好像每个人都变得更年轻,尤其是我的父亲。他似乎是相当一个淘气的孩子。

在回家的路上,我父亲告诉我,女士是他们的小学老师。她是一位很好的老师,总是善待每一个学生。她退休后,一些学生建议举行一次宴会来庆祝自己的生日每年一次。她不同意,但是坚持说,她每年都举行茶会。上个星期天是她的八十岁生日。只有在那时我才意识到一个普通优秀品质的老师

第二篇：英语短文翻译

During the years when I was a teacher, I learned a lot of things. Perhaps the most important one was the life-changing power of encouraging words.

I learned what Leo Buscaglia had done with his students in University of Southern California. In one class Leo Buscaglia and his students had made two lists of words, one positive and one negative. Then they threw the negative words in the trash and tried to use only the positive

words for one month. They were curious at how much better their lives became just by using words full of encouragement.

I decided to try this as well by finding something good to write on each paper my students handed in . No matter how many mistakes a student’s paper contained, there was always a meaningful sentence, beautiful thought, or a great idea that I could comment on. I remember glancing over my desk and seeing some of the students reading those encouraging words again and again. It was a joy seeing their eyes shine a little brighter, their backs sit up a little straighter, and their learning climb a lot higher .

I recently saw one of my former students and we talked for a while. He has got married, and has two children now. As I was saying goodbye, he said, “You know I still have a few of those old papers. I look at them from time to time. I just hope my kids have a good teacher like you.” I was amazed at the hope those few positive words had on his life.

During the years when I was a teacher, I learned a lot of things. Perhaps the most important one was the life-changing power of encouraging words.

那些年，我是一个老师，我学到了很多东西。也许最重要的是鼓励的话改变生活的力量。

I learned what Leo Buscaglia had done with his students in University of Southern California. In one class Leo Buscaglia and his students had made two lists of words, one positive and one negative. Then they threw the negative words in the trash and tried to use only the positive

我知道Leo Buscaglias已经和他在南加州大学的同学。在一个班，Leo Buscaglias和他的学生做了两个单词，一个正极和一个负极。然后他们把否定词在垃圾并试图只使用正

words for one month. They were curious at how much better their lives became just by using words full of encouragement.

一个月的话。在如何更好的生活就只是用充满鼓励的话他们是好奇的。

I decided to try this as well by finding something good to write on each paper my students handed in . No matter how many mistakes a student’s paper contained, there was always a meaningful sentence, beautiful thought, or a great idea that I could comment on. I remember glancing over my desk and seeing some of the students reading those encouraging words again and again. It was a joy seeing their eyes shine a little brighter, their backs sit up a little straighter, and their learning climb a lot higher .

我决定试试这个以及寻找好写一纸我的学生交。不管有多少错误一个学生的论文中，总是有一个有意义的句子，美丽的思想，或一个伟大的想法，我可以评论。我记得看在我的书桌上看到一些学生阅读那些鼓励的话一次又一次。很高兴看到他们的眼睛一点光泽明亮，背上坐起来直一点，和他们的学习爬的更高。

I recently saw one of my former students and we talked for a while. He has got married, and has two children now. As I was saying goodbye, he said, “You know I still have a few of those old papers. I look at them from time to time. I just hope my kids have a good teacher like you.” I was amazed at the hope those few positive words had on his life.

我最近看到一个我以前的学生和我们聊了一会儿。他已经结婚了，并有两个孩子，现在。当我说再见的时候，他说，“你知道我仍然有一些旧报纸。我看着他们时。我只是希望我的孩子有一个好的老师喜欢你。”我很惊讶那些积极的话希望对他的人生。

What makes one person more intelligent than another? What makes one person a genius, like the brilliant Albert Einstein, and another person a fool? Are people born intelligent or stupid, or is intelligence the result of where and how you live? These are very old questions and the answers to them are still not clear.

We know, however, that just being born with a good mind is not enough. In some ways, the mind is like a leg or an arm muscle. It needs exercise. Mental (done with the mind) exercise is particularly important for young children. Many child psychologists (心理学家) think that parents should play with their children more often and give them problems to think about. The children are then more likely to grow up bright and intelligent. If, on the other hand, children are left alone a great deal with nothing to do, they are more likely to become dull and unintelligent.

Parents should also be careful with what they say to young children. According to some psychologists, if parents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool or an idiot, then the child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things. So it is probably better for parents to say very positive (helpful) things to their children, such as “That was a very clever thing you did.” or “You are such a smart child.”

1.what is the best title of the passage?(please answer within 5 words)

2.which sentence in the passage is the closest in meaning to the following one?though these questions were frist asked a long time ago,there are still no definite answers 3.is being born with a good mind enough to make a person intelligent?why?(please answer within 30 words)

是什么让一个人比另一个更聪明呢？是什么让一个人是天才，像杰出的爱因斯坦，而另一人却是傻瓜呢？人是生来就决定聪明还是愚蠢的吗，还是智力取决于你住在哪里以及如何生活？这些都是老问题了，而答案仍然不明确。

但是我们知道，天生拥有一个好智力是仅仅不够的。在某些方面，智慧就像一条腿或手臂的肌肉，需要锻炼。脑力的练习对于小孩子是特别重要的。许多儿童心理学家认为，父母应经常陪孩子玩耍，并且让他们自己去思考问题。这样孩子们就更可能聪明地成长。反之，如果将孩子单独留在家中，没有事情可做，他们就会变得迟钝和愚蠢。

家长也应该注意自己对儿童说了些什么。据一些心理学家研究，如果父母总是对孩子说，他或

她是一个傻瓜和白痴，那么孩子就很可能继续做愚蠢的事情。所以，父母最好是说一些积极的话给孩子，比如“你做的是一件非常聪明的事情。”或者“你是一个多么聪明的孩子啊。”
