　　1,A sense of wonder that lasts all their lives.

　　2,Their feeling that they know too little about nature.

　　3,Because only once the emotions have been aroused, do we then wish for knowledge about the object of our emotional response. Then once found, such knowledge has far more lasting meaning than mere information.

　　4,They can still look up at the sky, listen to the wind, feel the rain on their face and contemplate the perfume and flavour of a fruit. City-dwellers can find a park or a golf course where they can observe the migrations of birds and the changing seasons, or plant a seed in a pot in the kitchen window.

　　5,She means paying more attention to the sensations and information we get from our senses. She suggests that we ask ourselves: "What if I had never seen this before? What if I knew I would never see it again?"

　　6,She answers the second question first: "Is the exploration of the natural world just a pleasant way to pass the golden hours of childhood or is there something deeper?"She is "sure there is something much deeper, something lasting and significant." The value she sees in it is inner peace, strength and satisfaction, as outlined in paragraph 7.

　　7,She is referring to the repeating cycles of nature, and to emotional/spiritual healing. As an example of a person who never lost his sense of wonder, no matter how old he became.

　　8,When he realized he was going to die soon. His statement shows that his sense of wonder extended even to death itself.

　　我真誠地相信，對于孩子們來說，對于想要指導(dǎo)他們的父母們來說，感受比知道要重要得多。如果事實(shí)是以后能長出知識(shí)與智慧的種子，那么情感和感官印象則是種子必須賴以生長的沃土。幼兒時(shí)期就是培育土壤的時(shí)候。一旦情感被激起—— 一種對美的感受，對新的和未知事物的激動(dòng)，一種同情、憐憫、敬慕或愛戀的感覺——我們就會(huì)渴望了解引起我們情感反應(yīng)的事物。一旦找到，這種知識(shí)就比純粹的信息具有持久得多的意義。為孩子們的求知欲鋪平道路比向他們灌輸一堆他們不準(zhǔn)備吸收的事實(shí)更為重要。

　　對一個(gè)外國人來說，身在美國可能是一次奇特的經(jīng)歷。在國外7年以后—4年在法國，3年在波蘭，我和妻子于一月份到達(dá)美國。從雜亂的初步印象中，我們編了一套從A到Z的解釋，來說明為什么對那些從歐洲到這里的人來說，美國會(huì)是這樣陌生的一個(gè)國家。我應(yīng)該一開始就說明我是一個(gè)英國人，但在佛羅里達(dá)出生的我的妻子莉薩卻是個(gè)如蘋果餡餅般地道的美國人。不過，在我們列出的清單中，A并不代表蘋果餡餅。它代表的是：雄心(Ambition)。在舊大陸中，人們受的教育是要掩飾它。在這兒，宣稱你在追求老板的職位或者想在30歲以前賺上100萬美元，并沒有什么不合適。

　　Some Differences between Families in China and America

　　There are some very striking differences between families in China and America.One difference is that Chinese children always take care of their old parents. If they don't take care of them, friends and colleagues will gossip about them. Chinese society condemns this kind of behavior, and sometimes newspapers even write about children who neglect their old parents. But in the United States, adult children often put their parents in nursing homes, and this is seen as an acceptable (if not entirely desirable) thing to do.Another difference is that Chinese parents sacrifice everything for their children, and they are very stern with them. Parents put a lot of pressure on their children to study hard. They think that studying will make the children successful. In fact, many teenagers study long hours a day and are not allowed to date. But in the United States, parents think their own lives are as important as their children's lives. They have more freedom, and they give their children more freedom too. Parents let their children stay alone or relax after school, and they think it's natural for their teenagers to date. (189 words)
