Life comes in a package. This package includes happiness and sorrow， failure and success， hope and despair. Life is a learning process. Experiences in life teach us new lessons and make us a better person. With each passing day we learn to handle various situations.
Love
Love plays a pivotal role on out life. Love makes you feel wanted. Without love a person could go hayward and also become cruel and ferocious. In the early stage of our life， our parents are the ones who shower us with unconditional love and care， they teach us about what is right and wrong， good and bad. But we always tend to take this for granted. It is only after marriage and having kids that a person understands and becomes sensitive to others feelings. Kids make a person responsible and mature and help us to understand life better.
Happiness and Sorrow
Materialistic happiness is short-lived， but happiness achieved by bringing a smile on others face gives a certain level of fulfillment. Peace of mind is the main link to happiness. No mind is happy without peace. We realize the true worth of happiness when we are in sorrow. Sorrow is basically due to death of a loved one， failure and despair. But these things are temporary and pass away.
Failure and Success
Failure is the path to success. It helps us to touch the sky， teaches us to survive and shows us a specific way. Success brings in money， fame， pride and self-respect. Here it becomes very important to keep our head on out shoulder. The only way to show our gratitude to God for bestowing success on us is by being humble， modest， courteous and respectful to the less fortunate ones.
Hope and Despair
Hope is what keeps life going. Parents always hope their children will do well. Hope makes us dream. Hope builds in patience. Life teaches us not to despair even in the darkest hour， because after every night there is a day. Nothing remains the same we have only one choice keep moving on in life and be hopeful.
Life teaches us not to regret over yesterday， for it has passed and is beyond our control. Tomorrow is unknown， for it could either be bright or dull. So the only alternative is work hard today， so that we will enjoy a better tomorrow.
人生好似一个包裹，这个包裹里藏着快乐与悲伤、成功与失败，希望与绝望。人生也是一个学习的过程。那些经历给我们上了全新的课，让我们变得更好。随着每一天的过去，我们学会了处理各种各样的问题。
爱
爱在生活之外扮演了一个关键的角色。爱使你想要得到些什么。没有爱，一个人将走向不归路，变得凶暴、残忍。在我们最初的人生道路上，我们的父母给予了我们无条件的关爱，他们教会我们判断正确与错误、好与坏。然而我们常常把这想当然了，只有等到我们结了婚并且有了孩子之后，一个人才会懂得并注意别人的感受。孩子让我们变得富有责任心、变得成熟稳重，并且更好的理解人生。
快乐与悲伤
物质上的快乐往往是短暂的，然而，当你给予他人一个微笑的时候，那种满足却是无与伦比的。心灵的平静往往是快乐的源泉。没有平和的心态就没有快乐的心情。在伤心的时候，我们往往能够体会到快乐的真谛。悲伤基本都来自于一个爱人的去世、失败还有绝望，但是这样的事情都是暂时的，总会过去的。
失败与成功
失败是成功之母。它让我们触及蓝天，它教会我们如何生存，它给予我们一条特殊的路。成功给予我们金钱、名誉、骄傲和自尊。这里，保持头脑清醒便显得尤为重要。唯一能让我们感激上帝给予的成功便是始终卑微、谦虚、礼貌并且尊重没有我们幸运的人们。
希望与绝望
希望是人生动力之源。父母总是希望自己的孩子能够做得很好。希望使我们有梦想。希望使我们变得有耐心。人生教会我们即使是在最困难的时候都不要绝望，因为黑暗之后终将是黎明。没有什么事一成不变的，我们惟有充满希望地继续生活。
人生教会我们不要对过去的事感到后悔，因为过去的终究是过去了并且我们已无法控制。没人知道明天会是怎样，因为它可以是光明的同样也可以是无趣的。所以，唯一的选择便是在今天努力工作，这样才能让我们去享受更美好的明天。
英语文章摘抄（二）
I believe， for every drop of rain
that falls， A flower grows…
I believe that somewhere in the
darkest night， A candle glows…
I believe for everyone who
goes astray， Someone will come，
to show the way， I believe， I believe…
I believe， above the storm the
smallest prayer， Will still be heard…
I believe， that someone in that
great somewhere， Hears every word…
Every time I hear a newborn baby cry，
Or touch a leaf，
or see the sky，
Then I know why， I believe!
Every time I hear a newborn baby cry，
Or touch a leaf，
or see the sky，
Then I know why， I believe!
我相信，每个雨滴飘落
就有一朵花儿生长……
我相信，即使最漆黑的夜晚
也会有蜡烛发出明亮的光
我相信，每个迷途的人
都会有人给他指路
我相信，我相信……
我相信，即使暴风雨在狂怒咆哮
最微弱的祈祷也会被听到……
我相信，有人在某个伟大的地方
听到了每一个字……
每当听到新生儿的哭声
或触摸一片叶子
或凝望天空
我就知道为何会这样，我相信！
每当听到新生儿的哭声
或触摸一片叶子
或凝望天空
我就知道为何会这样，我相信！
英语文章摘抄（三）
My aunt died back in about . She was eighty——four and so was my uncle. When she passed he was devastated. They had been married for over 60 years. We expected him to pass on quickly after she died. He attended his church more frequently and his mourning was nearly unbearable to witness. His only daughter lived clear across the country so he had only the rest of the extended family and church family to comfort him.
My cousin talked him into selling the house that he and my aunt had built together about twenty five years before. It was very hard to part with the home they built together. He was going to move into an apartment， but at the last moment， my cousin and he saw a new house for sale， that was close to his business. She helped him buy furniture and a flat screen television. He had not watched television for years because of his religion. He got back into watching the news and history channel and religious programs when my aunt was in the nursing home. He was like a kid with a new toy but still grieved horribly for my aunt.
我伯母大约在年去世。她已是84岁高龄，(www.haocihaoju.cn)我伯父与她同龄。伯母的去世对伯父来说是个沉重的打击。他们结婚超过 60年了。伯母去世后，我们以为伯父很快也会跟着离开。伯父愈加频繁地去教会，他的悲恸几乎令人不忍目睹。他唯一的女儿一直住在离他很远的另一个地方，因而他只能从家族的远亲以及教会同伴那里寻求慰藉。
我堂姐游说伯父卖掉那栋他和伯母大概在25年前一起建造的房子。要离开他俩一起建造的“家”，这对伯父而言非常艰难。他准备搬进一间公寓，不过就在最后一刻，我堂姐和他看中了一栋待售的新房，而且这房子离伯父的公司很近。堂姐帮伯父买来了家具和一台平板电视机。由于他的宗教信仰，伯父已经很多年没有看电视了。他如同一个拿到一件新玩具的孩子那样开心，不过对于伯母的离去，他还是非常伤心。
