THE CELESTIAL RAILROADNot a great while ago, passing through the gate of dreams, Ivisited that region of the earth in which lies the famous City ofDestruction. It interested me much to learn that by the publicspirit of some of the inhabitants a railroad has recently beenestablished between this populous and flourishing town and theCelestial City. Having a little time upon my hands, I resolved togratify a liberal curiosity by making a trip thither.Accordingly, one fine morning after paying my bi
In the Carquinez Woodsby Bret HarteCHAPTER I.The sun was going down on the Carquinez Woods. The few shafts ofsunlight that had pierced their pillared gloom were lost inunfathomable depths, or splintered their ineffectual lances onthe enormous trunks of the redwoods. For a time the dull red oftheir vast columns, and the dull red of their cast-off bark whichmatted the echoless aisles, still seemed to hold a faint glow ofthe dying day. But even this soon passed. Light and color fled...

FAIRY TALES OF HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSENTHE DAISYby Hans Christian AndersenNow listen! In the country, close by the high road, stood afarmhouse; perhaps you have passed by and seen it yourself. Therewas a little flower garden with painted wooden palings in front of it;close by was a ditch, on its fresh green bank grew a little daisy; thesun shone as warmly and brightly upon it as on the magnificent...
到图书馆查资料 有些学生对图书馆的看法,就如同一个罪人看待教堂一样——那只是到了走投无路的时候才能去的一个地方。之后,他们上了演讲课,发现那并不是如此可怕的一个地方。你可以从图书馆找到很多演讲材料。因此,你需要知道做图书馆研究的基本技巧。当然,你也许已经了解了这些方法,如果是这样,那你只需要温习本节就可以了。 有很多快速、便利和系统的方法供你在图书馆里找到你需要的任何东西。第一步是要学会找到自己的路线。这可以从图书馆提供的方位图看出来。在图书馆行走的时候,你可能会拿到一份简要的介绍材料,也许是一些宣传页,解释图书馆里有什么东西和如何找到这些东西。应该把这些材料夹在上课笔记里。这些材料只需要几分钟便可以看完,以后会有用处的。...

这几年,经常有人托我为他们的书写序。有朋友便调侃,作家开始替别人写序了,多半是自己写不出东西了。我其实是有苦难言。我自己曾说,作家开始谈人生了,只怕是穷途末路了。不料自己在朋友的怂恿下,出版这部书,也谈起所谓的人生来,打了自己的嘴巴。全书五个部分:第一部分涉及我从童年到中年的经历,没有什么大事,但是说到的都是铭心刻骨的;第二部分偏重我的尘世见闻,同样没有什么大事,琐碎得有些无聊,但很多人的热血和激情正是在这种熟视无睹的琐碎中被消磨掉了;第三部分谈人类精神对肉体的背叛,这是我的某些胡思乱想,离现实生活远些,不感兴趣的读者可以跳过去不看;第四部分是文学话题,不是学术研究,只是自己文字生涯的孔见;第五部分纯粹是聊天,我的日常生活,包括读书、喝茶、写作习惯、生活习性等等,也谈男人和女人。...
