  A man has a beautiful garden. In his garden there is a lily and a rose. The lily never fades and has a long life. But the rose has a short life.
  The lily says to the rose, How beautiful you are! What an aroma you have You are peoples favorite flower. I really envy you.
  The rose says, Dont say so. My flower has a very short life. I bloom in the morning and by sunset I begin to lose shine. By the next morning I fade and then I die. But you have flowers thant never fade even if they have been cut. Beauty is only a short-time wonder for me.

  Television gives the American people a wide variety of programs from early morning until late at night. Operas, orchestral performances, chamber music and jazz concerts are often presented on television. So most of the leisure at home is used for watching television. Many Americans are so fond of their TV programs that they often have cold luncheon in front of their receiving sets. Television has given people newer and deeper understanding o
f history, art, music, literature, the ballet, the theater, the discoveries of modern science and the wonders of the universe. Television viewers pay no tax or charges for receiving programs on their sets. The cost of the programs is paid chiefly by those who are given the opportunity to advertise their goods or services during the commercial breaks.
  美国人从清晨直到深夜都能看到形形的电视节目。电视屏幕上经常播放歌剧、管弦乐、室内音乐和爵士音乐演奏。所以家庭中大部分空闲时间都花在看电视上。许多美国人酷爱电视节目,经常在电视机前边看电视边吃冷餐。电视使人们对历史、艺术、音乐、文学、舞剧、戏剧、现代科学的新发现和宇宙的奥妙有较新和较深切的了解。电视观众看电视节目既不用缴税,也不必付款,节目费用主要是由那些借此为其商品和服务做插播广告的人支付的。
  英语阅读理解带翻译10篇:篮球
  Interest in basketball in the United States peaks around three big championship events in the spring: the college championships for men and women in late March or early April and the professional playoffs that climax in June.
  But that’s only organized basketball. Informally, the game has been learned by generations of American youths on city playgrounds and schoolyards, on lonely baskets put up in backyards of rural homes and on the driveway basketball courts of countless suburban homes. Here, playing on teams, going one-on-one against a single opponent or just shooting the ball hour after hour alone, some of the finest basketball players have developed their skills to incredible levels.
  But as brilliant as some players may be, basketball requires coaching to teach athletes skills they are deficient in and to blend a group of individuals into a team. Styles of coaching vary. Some coaches favor an extremely disciplined game with each player having a specific role while others are more inclined to let their players dictate the style of play.
  美国人对篮球的兴趣在春季三大锦标赛期间达到高潮。这包括三月底或四月初举行的大学男篮锦标赛和大学女篮锦标赛,以及在六月份进入决赛高潮的职业篮球赛。
  上面说的只是有组织的正式比赛。在市内的运动场和学校的操场上,在农舍后院的简易篮球筐下,或是在无数市郊住宅的自家车道上划出的篮球场上,一代代的美国青少年的学习打
篮球。一批最优秀的篮球选手,就是在这种队与队的对抗,单与单的较量,或是一个人数小时的投篮练习中,练就一身出神入化的球技的。
  尽管有些球员很有天赋,篮球运动还是需要有教练指导的,帮助球员学习他们掌握欠佳的技术,并把一个个球员熔合成一个队,教练的风格各异。有些教练部署严谨,队员各司其职;有的则倾向于让队员去决定比赛的打法和风格。

  Some people insist that only today and tomorrow matter. But how much poorer we would be if we really lived by that rule! So much of what we do today is frivolous and futile and soon forgotten. So much of what we hope to do tomorrow never happens.
