英语四级听力美文第64篇:If I were a boy again
If I were a boy again, I would practise perseverance more often, and never give up a thingbecause it was hard or inconvenient. If we want light, we must conquer darkness.
If I were to live my life over again, I would pay more attention to the cultivation of thememory. I would strengthen that faculty by every possible means, and on every possibleoccasion. It takes a little hard work at first to remember things accurately; but memory soonhelps itself, and gives very little trouble. It only needs early cultivation to become a power.
If I were a boy again, I would look on the cheerful sides. Life is very much like a mirror: If yousmile upon it, it smiles back upon you; but if you flown and look doubtful on it, you will get asimilar look in return. Inner sunshine warms not only the heart of the owner, but of all thatcome in contact with it. "Who shuts love out, in turn shall be shut from love."
If I were a boy again, I would school myself to say "no" oftener. I might write pages on theimportance of learning very early in life to gain that point where a young boy can stand erect, and decline doing an unworthy act because it is unworthy.
If I were a boy again, I would demand of myself more courtesy towards my companions andmy friends, and indeed towards strangers as well. The smallest courtesies along the roughroads of life are like the little birds that sing to us all winter long, and make that season of iceand snow more endurable.
Finally, instead of trying hard to be happy, as if that were the sole purpose of life, I would, if Iwere a boy again, I would still try harder to make others happy.
