  語篇导读
  我们常常将蜡烛搁置在抽屉中,让它蒙上灰尘,静静地等待被点亮。其实,我们的心灵就像蜡烛芯,我们可以决定是否让它辉煌地燃烧。为了更好实现自我价值,让我们点亮心灵的蜡烛,以自己想要的方式发光吧!
  I have a few candles stored in a drawer in my dining room. Theyre put there for romantic dinners or special parties. But as life becomes ordinary day after day, they have lain among the napkins and other things without being noticed. They are waiting to be taken out and lit to share their beautiful light with anyone who will take time to feel their warmth.
  Are not we like those candles? We are quietly waiting for someone to come and let us be ourselves. We are all waiting for our own time to shine. We each have a special light, which cant be matched with any other.
  Candles are made up of wax(蜡) and wicks(烛芯). We have bodies and souls. Candles are special in their colors, shapes and designs. Our histories and experiences are the reasons which make us who we are. Our souls are like candle wicks, which make our hearts burn. Unlike the candles in my drawer, we can control our minds and how brightly we will shine.
  What is your candle of soul decided by? Does it depend on environment or direction? Does it hide in the drawer of sadness, worry or anything else? Make a choice to let yourself shine in the way that you want.

  典句欣赏
  1.But as life becomes ordinary day after day, they have lain among the napkins and other things without being noticed. 但是随着平淡的日子一天天过去,它们躺在餐巾纸和其他杂物之间渐渐不被人注意了。
  as 引导时间状语从句,意为“随着”。without being noticed是介词短语,being noticed作介词without的宾语,being noticed属于现在分词的被动形式。
  2.They are waiting to be taken out and lit to share their beautiful light with anyone who will take time to feel their warmth. 它们等待着被拿出,被点亮,并与任何一个愿意花时间去感受它们温暖的人分享光芒。
  这是一个复合句。who引导的是定语从句,修饰不定代词anyone。
  3.Our histories and experiences are the reasons which make us who we are. 我们的历史和经历成就了我们。
  这是一个复合句。which引导定语从句,修饰先行词the reasons。 who we are引导的从句作make的宾语补足语。

桃花不仅是我国民众喜爱的观赏花木,而且也是历代咏花诗的题材。我国第一部诗歌总集《诗经》中,就有“桃之夭夭,灼灼其华”的记载。唐代诗人崔护的《题都城南庄》诗:“去年今日此门中,人面桃花相映红。人面不知何处去,桃花依旧笑春风。”因以“人面桃花相映红”描绘少女的羞容,使成语“人面桃花”被人们习用至今。桃花品种众多,在诗人吟咏的桃花诗中可见一斑。如北宋邵雍的《二色桃》诗:“施朱施粉色俱好,倾国倾城艳不同。
