The Farmer and the Snake
ONE WINTER a Farmer found a Snake stiff and frozen with cold. He had compassion on it, and taking it up, placed it in his bosom. The Snake was quickly revived by the warmth, and resuming its natural instincts, bit its benefactor, inflicting on him a mortal wound. "Oh," cried the Farmer with his last breath, "I am rightly served for pitying a scoundrel."
The greatest kindness will not bind the ungrateful.
个农夫干完农活，看见一条蛇冻僵了，觉得它很可怜，就把它拾起来，小心翼翼地揣进怀里，用暖热的身体温暖着它。那蛇受了暖气，渐渐复苏了，又恢复了生机。等到它彻底苏醒过来，便立即恢复了本性，以迅雷不及掩耳的速度用尖利的毒牙狠狠地咬了恩人一口，使他受了致命的创伤。农夫临死的时候痛悔地说：“我可怜恶人，不辨好坏，结果害了自己，遭到这样的恶报，我真是活该！”

我们每个人都有过那样的时代，开始想要拒绝父母，想要成为自己，只是在那个年龄我们不曾意识到，无论怎样我们都是父母眼里永远的孩子，需要疼爱需要呵护。
一个不美满的结局，一个永不可能实现的心愿，一个父亲伟大的心，一个儿子深切的忏悔。
很感人，很动人，几乎让人流泪。

C. the significance of the harmony between man and nature以此为题，写一篇英语作文，200字以上。三段式的
【第一段】As is symbolically illustrated in the picture, a lovely baby is sleeping
comfortably on the beautiful earth with a little bird singing over him. In the
drawing, a huge green umbrella shelters the baby and the earth from the
threatening outside world. The caption indicates that we should advocate low
carbon economy and cherish the earth.
【第二段】 The painter aims at reminding us the relationship between low carbon economy and
environmental protection. In the first place, low carbon economy is crucial to
sustainable economic development. Economic expansion causes irreparable damage
to our environment. A fragile ecological environment, insufficient environmental
capacity and shortage of resources are becoming critical problems hindering the
world’s development. If we want to achieve sustainable development,
environmental protection should be integrated into our economic endeavors. Low
carbon economy will have a direct impact on the overall situation of the
world’s modernization drive and its long-term development. In the second place,
environmental protection is in line with traditional Chinese culture. One of the
core principles of traditional Chinese culture is to maintain harmony between
man and nature. Many philosophies from Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism have
emphasized the significance of a balanced environment. As an old Chinese saying
goes, “Forefathers plant trees so future generations can enjoy the shade.”
Protecting our environment and preserving a healthy environment for future
generations goes hand in hand with Chinese culture.
【第三段】Generally speaking, low carbon economy is indispensable for sustainable
development. Haunted by various environmental problems, we should put the low
carbon economy at the core of our economic development plans and solve wide
ranging environmental problems before they evolve into environmental crisis.

If I Rest,I Rust 如果我休息，我就会生锈 The significant inscription found on an old key---“If I rest, I rust”---would be an excellent motto for those who are afflicted with the slightest bit of idleness. Even the most instrious person might adopt it with advantage to serve as a reminder that, if one allows his faculties to rest, like the iron in the unused key, they will soon show signs of rust and, ultimately, cannot do the work required of them.Those who would attain the heights reached and kept by great men must keep their faculties polished by constant use, so that they may unlock the doors of knowledge, the gate that guard the entrances to the professions, to science, art, literature, agriculture---every department of human endeavor.Instry keeps bright the key that opens the treasury of achievement. If Hugh Miller, after toiling all day in a quarry, had devoted his evenings to rest and recreation, he would never have become a famous geologist. The celebrated mathematician, Edmund Stone, would never have published a mathematical dictionary, never have found the key to science of mathematics, if he had given his spare moments to idleness, had the little Scotch lad, Ferguson, allowed the busy brain to go to sleep while he tended sheep on the hillside instead of calculating the position of the stars by a string of beads, he would never have become a famous astronomer.Labor vanquishes all---not inconstant, spasmodic, or ill-directed labor; but faithful, unremitting, daily effort toward a well-directed purpose. Just as truly as eternal vigilance is the price of liberty, so is eternal instry the price of noble and enring success.翻译：重大的题字上找到一个古老的关键——“如果我休息,我就会生锈”——依旧是一个优秀的宗旨是为那些折磨的一点点懒惰。即使最勤奋的人将它与优势,提醒了我们,如果有才而不用,就像废弃钥匙的铁一样,这些才能很快就会生锈,并最终无法完成安排给自己的工作。
有些人想取得高度达到并保持的成就,必须不断运用自身才能,以便开启知识的大门,即那些通往大门入口专业,科学,文学,农业-每部人类努力的。

可能有点长，还是推荐这个很老的哲理故事吧，虽然大家都听过了，但是还是值得时时想起，提醒自己的。。。树欲静而风不止，子欲养而亲不待
《男孩和他的树》
从前，有一棵巨大的苹果树。
一个小男孩每天都喜欢在树下玩耍。他爬树，吃苹果，在树荫下小睡……他爱和树玩，树也爱和他玩。
时间过的很快，小男孩长大了，他不再每天都来树下玩耍了。
“来和我玩吧。”树说。
“我不再是孩子了，我再也不会在树下玩了。”男孩回答道，“我想要玩具，我需要钱去买玩具。”
“对不起，我没有钱……但是，你可以把我的苹果摘下来，拿去卖钱，这样你就有钱了。”
男孩兴奋的把所有的苹果都摘下来，高兴的离开了。男孩摘了苹果后很久都没有回来。树很伤心。
一天，男孩回来了，树很激动。
“来和我玩吧。”树说。
“我没时间玩，我得工作，养家糊口。我们需要一栋房子，你能帮助我吗？”
“对不起，我没有房子，但是你可以砍下我的树枝，拿去盖你的房子。”男孩把所有的树枝都砍下来，高兴的离开了。
看到男孩那么高兴，树非常欣慰。但是，男孩从此很久都没回来。树再一次孤独，伤心起来。
一个炎热的夏日，男孩终于回来了，树很欣慰。
“来和我玩吧！”树说。
“我过的不快乐，我也一天天变老了，我想去航海放松一下。你能给我一条船吗？”
“用我的树干造你的船吧，你就能快乐地航行到遥远的地方了。”男孩把树干砍下来，做成了一条船。
他去航海了，很长时间都没露面。
最后，过了很多年，男孩终于回来了。
“对不起，孩子，我再也没有什么东西可以给你了……”树说。
“我已经没有牙咬苹果了。”男孩回答道。
“我也没有树干让你爬了。”树说。
“我已经老得爬不动了。”男孩说。
“我真的不能再给你任何东西了，除了我正在死去的树根。”树含着泪说。
“我现在不需要什么了，只想找个地方休息。过了这么些年，我累了。”男孩回答道。
“太好了！老树根正是休息是最好的倚靠，来吧，来坐在我身边，休息一下吧。”
男孩坐下了，树很高兴，含着泪微笑着……
****************
这是每个人的故事，树就是我们的父母。当我们年轻的时候，我们愿意和爸爸妈妈玩。当我们长大成人，我们就离开了父母，只有我们需要一些东西或者遇到一些麻烦时，才会回来。不论怎样，父母总是支持我们，竭力给我们每一样能让我们高兴的东西。
你也许会想，男孩对树太残酷了，但是，那正是我们所有人对待父母的方式啊！
附英文版：
A Boy and His Tree
A long ago,there was a huge apple tree. A little boy love to come and play around it everyday.He climbed to the tree top,ate the apples,took a nap under the shadow…He loved the tree and the tree loved to play with him.
Time went by,the little boy had grown up and he no longer played around the tree everyday.
One day,the boy came back to the tree and he looked.
“Come and play with me ,”The tree asked the boy .
“I am no longer a kid, I don’t play around trees anymore.”The boy replied,
“I want toys.I need money to buy them.”
“Sorry,but I don’t have money…But you can pick all my apples and sell them.
So,you will have money.”The boy was so excited .He grabbed all the apples
on the tree and left happily.The boy never came back after he picked the
apples.The tree was sad.
One day,the boy returned and the tree was so excited.
“Come and play with me ,”The tree said.
“I don’t have time to play.I have to work for my family.We need a house for
shelter.Can you help me?”
“sorry,but I don’t have a house .But you can chop off my branches to build
your house.”So the boy cut all the branches of the tree and left happily.
The tree was glad to see him happy but the boy never came back since then.
The tree was again lonely and sad.
One hot summer day,the boy returned and the tree was delighted.
“Come and play with me !”The tree said.
“I am sad and getting old.I want to go sailing to relax myself.Can you give
a boat?”
“Use my truck to build your boat.You can sail faraway and be happy.”
So the boy cut the tree truck to make a boat .He went sailing and never
showed up for a long time.
Finally, the boy returned after he left for so many years.
“Sorry,my boy.but I don’t have anything for you anymore.No more apples for
for you…“The tree said.
“I don’t have teeth to bite.”The boy replied.
“No more truck foe you to climb on.”
“I am too old for that now.”The boy said.
“I really can give you anything…The only thing left is my dying roots.”The
tree said with tears.
“I don’t need much now,just a place to rest.I am tired after all these year”
The boy replied.
“Good!Old tree roots is the best place to lean on and rest. Come,come sit
down with me and rest.”The boy sat down and the tree was glad and smiled
with tears……
This is a story of everyone. The tree is our parent. when we were young, we loved to play with mom and dad……
When we grown up, we left them…Only came to them when we need something or when we are in trouble.
No matter what,parents will alway be there and give everything they could to make you happy.
You may think the boy is cruel to the tree but that how all of us are treating our parent.Time is too slow for those who wait,too swift for those who fear,too long for those who grieve,too short for those who rejoice,but for those who love,time is eternity.

【1】Things Aren’t Always What They Seem
Two traveling angles stopped to spend the night in the home of a wealthy family. The family was rude and refused to let the angles stay in the mansion’s guestroom. Instead the angles were given a small space in the cold basement. As they made their bed in the hard floor, the older angel saw a hole in the wall and repaired it. When the younger angle asked why, the older angle replied, “Things aren’t always what they seem.”
The next night the pair came to rest at the house of a very poor, but very hospitable farmer and his wife. After sharing the little food they had the couple let the angles sleep in their bed where they could have a good night’s rest. When the sun came up the next morning the angles found the farmer and his in tears. Their only cow, whose milk had been their sole income, lay dead in the field. The younger angle was infuriated and asked the older angle how he could have let this happen. “The first man had everything, yet you helped him,” he accused. “The second family had little but was willing to share everything, and you let the cow lie”.
“Things aren’t always what they seem,” the older angle replied. “when we stayed in the basement of the mansion, I noticed there was gold stored in that hole in the wall. Since the owner was so obsessed with greed and unwilling to share his good fortune, I sealed the wall so he wouldn’t find it.”
“Then last night as we slept in the farmer’s bed, the angle of death came for his wife. I gave him the cow instead. Things aren’t always what they seem.

第二晚，两人又到了一个非常贫穷的农家借宿。主人夫妇俩对他们非常热情，把仅有的一点点食物拿出来款待客人，然后又让出自己的床铺给两个天使。第二天一早，两个天使发现农夫和他的妻子在哭泣--他们唯一的生活来源，一头奶牛死了。年轻的天使非常愤怒，他质问老天使为什么会这样，第一个家庭什么都有，老天使还帮助他们修补墙洞，第二个家庭尽管如此贫穷还是热情款待客人，而老天使却没有阻止奶牛的死亡。
“有些事并不象它看上去那样。”老天使答道，“当我们在地下室过夜时，我从墙洞看到
墙里面堆满了金块。因为主人被贪欲所迷惑，不愿意分享他的财富，所以我把墙洞填上了。
“昨天晚上，死亡之神来召唤农夫的妻子，我让奶牛代替了她。所以有些事并不象它看上去那样。”

胡萝卜本是硬的，坚固而且强度大，但受到煮沸的水的影响，它变得柔软而脆弱。鸡蛋本来易碎，薄薄的外壳保护着内部的液体。但是在经历过煮沸的水以后，它的内部却变得坚硬。不过，最独特的却是磨碎的咖啡豆，当它们被放入煮沸的水之后，它们改变了水。
A certain daughter complained to her father about her life and how things have been so hard for her. She did not know how she was going to make it and she wanted to give up. She was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed that just as one problem was solved another arose.
有一个女孩向她父亲抱怨她的生活，她觉得凡事都很艰难，不知该怎样挺过去，她想放弃。她厌倦了不断的抗争和奋斗，问题似乎都一个接着一个，不让她有喘息的机会。
Her father, a chef, took her to the kitchen, filled three pots with water and placed the fire on high. Soon the three pots came to a boil. In one he placed carrots, in the other he placed eggs, and the last he placed ground coffee beans. He let them sit and boil, without saying a word.
她的父亲是个厨师，他把她带到了厨房。他在三个壶里分别装满了水，加大火烧。很快，壶里的水被煮开了。他往第一个壶里放了些胡萝卜，往第二个壶里放了几个鸡蛋，在最后一个壶里放了些磨碎的咖啡豆，然后，一句话也没说，他由着水把它们煮沸。
The daughter sucked her teeth and impatiently wondered what he was trying to do. She had problems, and he was making this strange concoction. In half an hour he walked over to the stove and turned down the fire. He pulled the carrots out and placed them in the bowl. He pulled the eggs out and placed them in the bowl. Then he ladled the coffee out and placed it in a bowl. Turning to her he asked. "Darling what do you see?"
女儿咂巴着嘴，不耐烦地等着，对父亲的行为感到很纳闷。大约三十分钟后，父亲关掉了火炉，把胡萝卜捞出来，放到一个碗里。又把鸡蛋拣出来放进另一个碗里，接着把咖啡用勺子舀出来倒进一个杯子里，然后转过头来，对她说，“亲爱的，你看到了什么？”
"Carrots, eggs, and coffee." she replied.
“胡萝卜、鸡蛋和咖啡。”她答道。
He brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots. She did and noted that they were soft. He then asked her to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard-boiled egg. Finally, he asked her to sip the coffee. Her face frowned from the strength of the coffee.
父亲让她走近点，要她去摸摸胡萝卜，她注意到，它们变软了。然后，他又要她去拿一个鸡蛋并把它敲破，在把壳剥掉之后，她观察了这个煮熟的鸡蛋。最后，父亲要她饮一口咖啡。咖啡很苦，她皱了皱眉。
Humbly, she asked. "What does it mean Father?"
“您想跟我说什么，父亲？”她问道。
He explained. "Each of them faced the same adversity, 212 degrees of boiling water. However each reacted differently. The carrot went in strong, hard, and unrelenting. But after going through boiling water, it softened and became weak. The egg was fragile. A thin outer shell protected a liquid center. But after sitting through the boiling water, it's inside became hardened. The coffee beans are unique however. After they were in the boiling water, it became stronger and richer."
父亲解释说，这三样东西面临着同样的逆境——煮沸的水。但它们的反应却各不相同。胡萝卜本是硬的，坚固而且强度大，但受到煮沸的水的影响后，它变得柔软而脆弱。鸡蛋本来易碎，薄薄的外壳保护着内部的液体。但是在经历过煮沸的水以后，它的内部却变得坚硬。不过，最独特的却是磨碎的咖啡豆，当它们被放入煮沸的水之后，它们改变了水。
"Which are you," he asked his daughter, "When adversity knocks on your door, how do you respond? Are you a carrot, an egg, or a coffee bean?"
“哪一个是你呢？”他问女儿，“当逆境找上你时，你该如何应对呢？你是胡萝卜、鸡蛋、还是咖啡豆？”

Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one,so that when we finally meet the person,we will know how to be grateful.
在遇到梦中人之前，上天也许会安排我们先遇到别人；在我们终于遇见心仪的人时，便应当心存感激。
Don't cry because it is over,smile because it happened.
不要因为结束而哭泣，微笑吧，为你的曾经拥有。
Life is a pure flame,and we live by an invisible sun within us.
-------Sir Thomas Browne
“生命是束纯净的火焰，我们依靠自己内心看不见的太阳而存在。”
--------托马斯。布朗爵士
