初二英语美文：Lovely Lunnah

LUNNAH is the manager of the pets department. She just had her 20th birthday a few days ago. She is about 167 centimeters tall, slim with very good figures, long brown hair sometimes fell at her shoulders liked a waterfall really, sometimes tied and made the nice hair liked a squirrel(松鼠) squatted at her crown, sometimes half fall and half tied, looked like a landscape oil painting.

When she was moving, her hairs tail waved left and right, liked a beautiful bird jumping from one branch to another. When she was walking, her hairs looked like a willow(柳树) branch waving in the wind or a swan dancing by a pond. When she stopped to work it looked like a funny lizard looking for food or maybe there was some magic on her head. Marvellous lovely Lunnah!

I always saw her quietly working, working and working. When she wore a pair of glasses she looked more like a university student.

LUNNAH looked a little weak to stand a gust of wind, but she could to take a two meters long snake around her shoulders and doing customer service as usual. I so afraid not about the snake stretching the fork tongue like a machine gun firing, but LUNNAH’s neck was thin. She put a lizard in her hand liked to play a toy…Fantastic lovely Lunnah.

Some body told me about her excellent dancing, especially dancing in the rain. Unfortunately I have never seen so far. I could imagine her dancing should be liked the willow branches in the soft breeze, it should be liked a swallow swooping and soaring over the pond, it should be liked the dragonfly(蜻蜓) cruising in the morning mist, or it should be liked the butterfly drinking in flowers…

She is lovely LUNNAH. Fabulous!

初二英语美文：A Woman's Tears

"Why are you crying?” he asked his Mom.

"Because I'm a woman.” she told him.

"I don't understand,” he said.

His Mom just hugged him and said,

"And you never will”...

"Later the little boy asked his father,

"Why does mother seem to cry for no reason?”

"All women cry for no reason” was all his Dad could say...

The little boy grew up and became a man, still wondering why women cry...

Finally he put in a call to God; when God got on the phone, the man said, “God, why do women cry so easily?”

God said...“When I made woman she had to be special. I made her shoulders strong enough to carry the weight of the world; yet gentle enough to give comfort...

I gave her an inner strength to endure childbirth and the rejection that many times comes from her children...

I gave her a hardness that allows her to keep going when everyone else gives up and take care of her family through fatigue(疲劳) and sickness without complaining...

I gave her the sensitivity to love her children under any and all circumstances, even when her child has hurt them very badly...

I gave her strength to carry her husband through his faults and fashioned her from his rib to protect his heart.

I gave her wisdom to know that a good husband never hurts his wife, but sometimes tests her strengths and her resolve to stand beside him unfalteringly.

I gave her a tear to shed, It's hers exclusively to use whenever it is needed.

It's her only weakness...

It's a tear for mankind...

初二英语美文：人生在于完整

Once a circle missed a wedge(楔子) . The circle wanted to be whole, so it went around looking for its missing piece. But because it was incomplete and therefore could roll only very slowly, it admired the flowers along the way. It chatted with worms. It enjoyed the sunshine. It found lots of different pieces, but none of them fit. So it left them all by the side of the road and kept on searching. Then one day the circle found a piece that fit perfectly. It was so happy. Now it could be whole, with nothing missing. It incorporated(合并，包含) the missing piece into itself and began to roll. Now that it was a perfect circle, it could roll very fast, too fast to notice the flowers of talking to the worms. When it realized how different the world seemed when it rolled so quickly, it stopped, left its found piece by the side of the road and rolled slowly away.

The lesson of the story, I suggested, was that in some strange sense we are more whole when we are missing something. The man who has everything is in some ways a poor man. He will never know what if feels like to yearn(渴望，向往) , to hope, to nourish his soul with the dream of something better. There is wholeness about the person who has come to terms with his limitations, who has been brave enough to let go of his unrealistic dreams and not feel like a failure for doing so.

初二英语美文：The Sound of Music 音乐之声

The hills are alive with the sound of music,

With songs they have sung for a thousand years.

The hills fill my heart with the sound of music

My heart wants to sing every thing every song it hears.

My heart wants to beat

Like the wings of the birds that rise

From the lake to the trees.

My heart wants to sigh like a chime that flies

From a church on a breeze

To laugh like a brook when it trips

And falls over stones on its way.

To sing through the night

Like a lake who is learning to pray.

I go to the hills when my heat is lonely.

I know I will hear what I've heard before.

My heart will be blessed with the sound of music,

And I'll sing once more.

音乐声回荡在群山之间，

传唱千年的歌声在飘扬。

山峦唤起我心中的音乐，

我的心想唱出听到的每首歌每件事。

我的心想和着

鸟儿振翅的节拍

飞过湖面飞过树林。

我的心想与钟声齐轻叹

乘风飞出教堂。

如淙淙溪流般欢笑!

一路在石子上轻盈跳跃。

如彻夜高歌，

学习祈祷的云雀。

心灵孤寂的时候我就来到群山中。

我知道会听到从前听过的声音。

音乐声洗涤我的心灵，

我将会再一次地歌唱。
