2、ple of what talent,hard work,and determination can do.Oprah Winfrey has come a long way from her poor childhood home in a small Mississippi town. She was an unwanted child whose parents never married. She was brought up on her grandmother‘s farm. The possibility that she would become rich and
3、famous was not very good.Oprah‘s mother left her child in her mother’s care,so she could go to work in Milwaukee,Wisconsin. It was a strict and difficult life for Oprah. But it also led the way for her future. She was a highly intelligent child. By the age of three,she had learned to rea

It was hard for her to work and take care of her bright,troublesome child. Oprah was a burden,and she knew it. They l

10、ove,and discipline. He gave her all three. It was a turning point in Oprah‘s life. Vernon Winfrey was strict about his daughter’s education. He gave her homework in addition to her schoolwork. She was allowed to watch only one hour of television a day. She became an A student and a popul
11、ar girl in her class.Oprah watched Barbara Walters,a famous journalist and interviewer,and decided that was what she wanted to be. When she was still in high school,she got a part-time job reading news on the radio. In her senior year she won a beauty contest and a four-year scholarship to Tennessee
12、 State University. While still in college she was offered a job as a news broadcaster at a local television station. She was the first female and the first African- American newscaster in Nashville. She was promoted to anchor,the most important position on the news team,while still a senior.After Op

14、 way. They couldn’t stop her from commenting on the news she read. They removed her from the anchor spot and wondered what to do with her. Finally they put her on an early morning talk show called People Are Talking. No one knew what to expect.The show was a great success. In a very short time

18、n wealth,sung but little and slept less.He was a banker;when by chance he fell into a doze at day-break,the cobbler awoke him with his song.The banker complained sadly that Providence had not made sleep a saleable commodity,like edibles or drinkables.Having at length sent for the songster,he said to
19、 him,;How much a year do you earn,Master Gregory?;How much a year,sir?;said the merry cobbler laughing,;I have reckon in that way,living as I do from one day to another;somehow I manage to reach the end of the year;each day brings its meal.;Well then!How much a day do you earn,my friend?;Sometimes m
20、ore,sometimes less;but the worst of it is,-and,without that our earnings would be very tolerable,-a number of days occur in the year on which we are forbidden to work;and the curate,moreover,is constantly adding some new saint to the list.;The banker,laughing at his simplicity,said,;In the future I
21、shall place you above want.Take this hundred crowns,preserve them carefully,and make use of them in time of need.;The cobbler fancied he beheld all the wealth which the earth had produced in the past century for the use of mankind.Returning home,he buried his money and his happiness at the same time
22、,No more singin;he lost his voice,the moment he acquired that which is the source of so much grief.Sleep quitted his dwelling;and cares,suspicions,and false alarms took its place,All day,his eye wandered in the direction of his treasure;and at night,if some stray cat made a noise,the cat was robbing
23、 him.At length the poor man ran to the house of his rich neighbor:;Give my back.;said he,;sleep and my voice,and take your hundred crowns.;La Fontaine适合英语六级阅读文章篇三Three Passions (三种激情)Three passionsThree passions,simple but overwhelmingly strong,have governed my life:the longing for love,the search f
24、or knowledge,and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind. These passions,like great winds,have blown me hither and thither,in a wayward course,over a deep ocean of anguish,reaching to the very verge of despair.I have sought love,first,because it brings ecstasy–ecstasy so great that I woul
25、d often have sacrificed all the rest of life for a few hours of this joy. I have sought it,next,because it relieves loneliness;that terrible loneliness in which one shivering consciousness looks over the rim of the world into the cold unfathomable lifeless abyss. I have sought it,finally,because in
26、the union of love I have seen,in a mystic miniature,the prefiguring vision of the heaven that saints and poets have imagined. This is what I sought,and though it might seem too good for human life,this is what- at last- I have found.With equal passion I have sought knowledge. I have wished to unders
27、tand the hearts of men. I have tried to apprehend the Pythagorean power by which number holds sway above the flu. A little of this,but not much,I have achieved.Love and knowledge,so far as they were possible,led upward toward the heavens. But always pity brought me back to earth. Echoes of cries of
28、pain reverberate in my heart. Children in famine,victims tortured by oppressors,helpless old people a hated burden to their sons,and the whole world of loneliness,poverty,and pain make a mockery of what human life should be. I long to alleviate the evil,but I cannot,and I too suffer.This has been my
29、 life. I have found it worth living,and would gladly live it again if the chance were offered me.三种激情;罗素三种激情虽然简单,却异常强烈,它们统治着我的生命,那便是:对爱的渴望,对知识的追求,以及对人类苦难的难以承受的同情。这三种激情像变化莫测的狂风任意地把我刮来刮去,把我刮入痛苦的深海,到了绝望的边缘。我曾经寻找爱,首先是因为它能使我欣喜若狂;这种喜悦之情如此强烈,使我常常宁愿为这几个小时的愉悦而牺牲生命中的其他一切。我寻求爱,其次是因为爱能解除孤独;在这种可怕的孤独中,一颗颤抖的良心在世界的
30、边缘,注视着下面冰凉、毫无生气、望不见底的深渊。我寻求爱还因为在爱的融合中,我能以某种神秘的图像看到曾被圣人和诗人想象过的天堂里未来的景象。这就是我所追求的东西,虽然这似乎对于人类的生命来说过于完美,但这确实是我最终发现的东西。我怀着同样的激情去寻找知识,我曾渴望着理解人心,我曾渴望知道为何星星会闪烁,我还企图弄懂毕达哥拉斯所谓的用数字控制变化的力量,但在这方面,我只知道一点点。爱的力量和知识的力量引我接近天堂,但同情之心往往又把我拉回大地。痛苦的哭泣回响、震荡在我的心中。饥饿的儿童,被压迫、受折磨的人们,成为儿孙们讨厌的包袱的、无助的老人们,充斥着整个世界的孤独的气氛,贫穷和苦难,所有这一切都是对人类生活原本该具有的样子所作的讽刺。我渴望消除一切邪恶,但我办不到,因为我自己也处于苦难之中。这就是我的生活,我认为值得一过。而且,如果有第二次机会,我将乐意地再过一次。看了;适合英语六级阅读文章;的人还看了:1.英语六级经典美文2.优秀英语六级美文阅读3.英语六级美文3篇精选4.英语六级晨读美文精选5.适合六级的英语美文赏析第 10 页 共 10 页
