2018年英语四级美文：How to Grow Old

1.How to Grow Old

2.Psychologically there are two dangers to be guarded against in old age.

3.One of these is undue absorption in the past.

4.It does not do to live in memories,

5.in regrets for the good old days, or in sadness about friends who are dead.

6.One’s thoughts must be directed to the future,

7.and to things about which there is something to be done.

8.This is not always easy; one’s own past is a gradually increasing weight.

9.It is easy to think to oneself that one’s emotions used to be more vivid than they are,

10.and one’s mind more keen.

11.If this is true it should be forgotten,

12.and if it is forgotten it will probably not be true.

13.The other thing to be avoided is clinging to youth

14.in the hope of sucking vigor from its vitality.

15.When your children are grown up they want to live their own lives,

16.and if you continue to be as interested in them as you were when they were young,

17.you are likely to become a burden to them.

18.Animals become indifferent to their young

19.as soon as their young can look after themselves,

20.but human beings, owing to the length of infancy, find this difficult.

21.I think that a successful old age is easiest for those

22.who have strong impersonal interests involving appropriate activities.

23.It is in this sphere that long experience is really fruitful,

24.and it is in this sphere that the wisdom born of experience

25.can be exercised without being oppressive.

26.It is no use telling grown-up children not to make mistakes,

27.both because they will not believe you,

28.and because mistakes are an essential part of education.

29.But if you are one of those who are incapable of impersonal interests,

30.you may find that your life will be empty

31.unless you concern yourself with your children and grandchildren.

32.In that case you must realize that

33.while you can still render them material services,

34.you must not expect that they will enjoy your company.

1.Every Living Person Has Problems

2.What is the secret ingredient of tough people that enables them to succeed?

3.Why do they survive the tough times when others are overcome by them?

4.Why do they win when others lose?

5.Why do they soar when others sink?

6.The answer is very simple.

7.It’s all in how they perceive their problems.

8.Yes, every living person has problems.

9.A problem-free life is an illusion — a mirage in the desert.

10.Accept that fact.

11.Every mountain has a peak.

12.Every valley has its low point.

13.Life has its ups and downs, its peaks and its valleys.

14.No one is up all the time, nor are they down all the time.

15.Problems do end. They are all resolved in time.

16.You may not be able to control the times,

17.but you can compose your responses.

18.You may not have chosen your tough time,

19.but you can choose how you will react to it.

20.For instance, what is the positive reaction to a terrible financial setback?

21.In this situation would it be the positive reaction to cop out and run away?

22.Escape through alcohol, drug, or suicide?

23.No! Such negative reactions only produce greater problems

24.by promising a temporary “solution” to the pressing problem.

25.The positive solution to a problem may require courage to initiate it.

26.When you control your reaction to the seemingly uncontrollable problem of life,

27.then in fact you do control the problem’s effect on you.

28.Your reaction to the problem is the last word!

29.That’s the bottom line.

30.What will you let this problem do to you?

31.It can make you tender or tough.

32.It can make you better or bitter.

33.It all depends on you.

34.In the final analysis, the tough people who survive the tough times do so

35.because they’ve chosen to react positively to their predicament.

36.Tough times never last, but tough people do.

37.Tough people stick it out.
