My First Job

    My parents ran a small restaurant. It was open twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. My first job was shining shoes for customers when I was six years old. My duties increased as I grew older. By age ten I was clearing tables and washing plates. My father made it clear that I had to meet certain standards. I had to be on time, hard-working and polite to the customers. I was never paid for any work I did. One day I made the mistake of telling Dad I thought he should give me ten pounds a week. He said, "OK, then how about you paying me for the three meals a day when you eat here and for the times you bring your friends here for free drinks?" He figured I owed him about 40 pounds a week. This taught me quite a lot.

Unexplained Parallels
    One of the best-known collections of parallels is between the careers of Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy. Both were shot on a Friday, in the presence of their wives; both were succeeded by a Southerner named Johnson; both their killers were themselves killed before they could be brought to justice. Lincoln had a secretary called Kennedy; Kennedy a secretary called Lincoln. Lincoln was killed in the Ford Theater; Kennedy met his death while riding in a Lincoln convertible made by the Ford Motor Company -- and so on.
     Similar coincidences often occur between twins. A news story from Finland reported of two 70-year-old twin brothers dying two hours apart in separate accidents, with both being hit by trucks while crossing the same road on bicycles. According to the police, the second victim could not have known about his brother's death, as officers had only managed to identify the first victim minutes before the second accident.
     Connections are also found between identical twins who have been separated at birth. Dorothy Lowe and Bridget Harrison were separated in 1945, and did not meet until 1979, when they were flown over from Britain for an investigation by a psychologist at the University of Minnesota. (8处答案为met,34)They found that when they met they were both wearing seven rings on their hands, two bracelets on one wrist, a watch and a bracelet on the other. They married on the same day, had worn identical wedding dresses and carried the same flowers. Dorothy had named her son Richard Andrew and her daughter Catherine Louise; Bridget had named her son Andrew Richard and her daughter Karen Louise.(10处答案similar自己看下这个不一定, children) In fact, she had wanted to call her Catherine. Both had a cat called Tiger. They also had a string of similar mannerisms when they were nervous.

Husbands and Wives Don't See Things Alike
    Let's face it -- husbands and wives just don't see things alike. Take TV remote controls, for example. I'm a channel-grazer. When I watch the news, I flip back and forth through four different networks.
     "It drives me crazy when you do that," my wife complains. I don't understand why she has no interest in other channels. After all, she is a woman who wants to know everything going on in the neighborhood and among all the relatives. Just one button away might be an interesting program on How to Lose Fifty Pounds by Eating Chocolate Sundaes or How to Understand Weird Husbands. But, no, she won't change channels, not even if she dislikes the program she's watching.
     "This talk show host makes me so angry!" she cried one evening.
     "Then why don't you change the channel?" I asked.
     "Because I can't stand people who are always changing channels."
     Differences. No right or wrong, just differences.
     "The first law of civilization," said an old philosopher, "is to let people be different."
     I don't need to convert my wife to my ways, and she doesn't try to make me be like her. We simply take turns monitoring the remote control.

Finding Creative Outlets for Very Stressful Times

    Beautifying your home is a fun and practical pastime that can offer a wonderful sense of accomplishment. Few people may realize, however, that painting the walls, knitting bedspreads or sewing pillows can help relieve the life pressures we all experience.
     Studies indicate that engaging in creative endeavors such as sewing and crafting can lower one's risk of stroke, kidney damage and heart disease.
     These calming, repetitive activities relax the mind and can lower blood pressure. Sharing such activities can also be a way to spend time with loved ones, which increases our sense of belonging and further reduces stress.
     People have always turned to working with their hands in times of stress. Handicraft works, with their symbols of hope, have a far greater impact when created by groups.
     Keep in mind the following tips to increase the stress-relieving benefits of your craft projects:

1. Work with materials that stimulate the senses; work in a comfortable area without distractions; play your favorite music.
2.(4处答案framing) Make a family project of selecting your favorite photos, and frame them so they can be enjoyed every day. In stressful times, the photos can lift your spirits as you recall happy moments.
3. If your schedule is hectic, choose a practical project that will make the most of crafting time. If a simple kitchen curtain needs to be replaced, start there.

    Change sometimes compels us to see things in new ways.

原文She Doesn't Seem Ready for College

Hi, Jenny, you don't look happy. What's wrong?
Jenny: Well, Roger, I've got a problem.
Roger: What is it?
Jenny: You know my daughter Jane is 16 years old now. And we've begun talking about college. She says she wants to go, but she's let her grades slip and no matter how I urge her to study, all she seems interested in are clothes and boys. We're not wealthy, you know. And it won't be easy for us to afford the tuition if she can't get a scholarship. Is going to college the best choice for her right now?
Roger: Do you mean that she doesn't seem ready for college?
Jenny: You're right.
Roger: Then you'd better have a serious talk with Jane about college.
Jenny: A serious talk with her?
Roger: Yes, to my mind it's quite normal for girls her age to be wrapped up in fashion and dating, but as a mother you have a right to expect her to pay attention to her studies too.
Jenny: Yes, but how?
Roger: Ask her how serious she is about college and how hard she's willing to work for it. Jane may be more committed than you realize. But if not, tell her she should think about putting college off for a while. That could give her the push she needs to take her education seriously.
Jenny: Sounds like a good idea.
Roger: And if you decide she should wait, she can get a job, take classes at a community college or do an internship to get experience. She may be just one of those who need to see a bit of real life before they settle down.

  Exercise 2:
  Leaves are Nature's food factories. Plants take water from the ground through their roots and carbon dioxide from the air. Then leaves turn water and carbon dioxide into sugar in the presence of sunlight and chlorophyll. This process is called photosynthesis. Leaves are mostly green because chlorophyll is green. As a matter of fact, there are, in leaves, small amounts of yellow and orange all along, but they are covered up by the green chlorophyll in summer. They show up in fall as chlorophyll disappears from the leaves, due to the decline of photosynthesis. The bright reds and purples we see in leaves of trees like maples are made mostly in fall. The brown color of trees like oaks is made from wastes left in the leaves.

答案Where,
原文For years Mr. Urquhart and his colleagues wondered where the migratory monarchs spent the winter. (第3、4空答案mystery仅供参考， his colleagues wondered)Despite their hopes, fieldwork in Florida and along the Gulf Coast discovered no large groups of wintering monarchs. Then in late 1972, his wife Norah wrote to newspapers in Mexico about the project, asking for volunteers to report sightings of the butterfly and help with tagging. Finally, in response came a letter, dated February 26, 1973, from a man called Kenneth Brugger in Mexico City, who offered to help find the butterfly hideaway.
     Traveling in his motor home, Brugger drove back and forth across the Mexican countryside, looking for clues. He was especially watchful at dusk, when the butterflies would be moving about looking for a place to sleep.
     At last, one day was successful. On the evening of January 9, 1975, Brugger called from Mexico. "I have found them -- millions of monarchs -- in evergreens beside a mountain clearing," he said, unable to control the excitement in his voice.
     High in a range of volcanic mountains that crosses central Mexico, he came upon hundreds of evergreen trees, each entirely hidden by sleeping butterflies. Some of the insects wore tags that Mr. Urquhart and his helpers had put on them in Canada and the northern United States. The mystery was solved! The monarchs' winter home is well suited to their needs. Throughout the winter the temperature stays near freezing. It is not cold enough to kill the visiting insects, but it is chilly enough to keep them from moving about. The butterflies survive on the stored fat from their summer foods.
     In spring the butterflies awaken and fly north again. Tagged butterflies, which were marked in Mexico, have been found in the United States.
     So one mystery is solved. But another remains. How do the butterflies find their way? Those that migrate south in the fall were born sometime during the summer or early fall. They have never been to Mexico. Yet they somehow seek out the same resting places. The mystery of how they find their way is left for future scientists to solve.

原文The Girl Who Sounded the Alarm

    Kelly worked at a photo shop in San Jose, California. In her 16 months of developing photos she has seen a few strange images. Sometimes there were naked people and sometimes there were photos of dead people from funerals. But what came to her eyes that morning was the scariest she had ever seen. In the photographs was a young man in black gloves and belt and pants, with a white T-shirt saying Natural Selection. He was seen either vigorously waving pipe bombs in the air or holding a shotgun. In the background of the photographs Kelly could see pipe bombs with nails taped all around them so they would hurt people when the bombs went off.
     Photo clerks at her shop are told to report possible suspects of various crimes to authorities. Sometimes, however, there is no clear direction on what should be reported. But the photos of the young man left no doubt in Kelly's mind.
     Kelly turned to her boss and said, "I'm going to call the police." But the manager hesitated, for he was afraid that this might bring trouble to him and his business. So she consulted her father, a veteran police officer, who told her to dial 911 at once.
     Officers were waiting when the customer came to pick up the photos. Kelly's decisive action may have prevented mass murder, according to the authorities. The 19-year-old student in the photographs had taken the pictures as a final step in a two-year-long plot to blow up and gun down crowds of students at his college. He was charged with weapons possession with intent to injure and was put in prison.

Brain Organization and Handedness

    Scientific studies during the 1970s and early 1980s suggested that differences in left- and right-handers' patterns of brain organization may be associated with differences in skills, abilities, and perhaps even personalities. In the large majority of right-handers, about 98 or 99 percent, speech is controlled by the left side of the brain.
     The right side of the brain, however, is usually used for recognizing and remembering faces and understanding relationships in space. In left-handers, it is difficult to know exactly their patterns of brain organization. About 65 to 70 percent of left-handers have speech controlled by the left side of the brain, which is also true of right-handers. But in 30 to 35 percent of left-handers speech is controlled by the right side of the brain. In some left-handers, both sides of the brain are capable of controlling speech.

Preparing for a Negotiation

    I think first of all one needs to be prepared. I mean to know what you want from a negotiation, what your aims and objectives are. Without clear aims, you can't have clear thinking, so aims are vital. What do you want? A contract? A firm agreement? Or just to find out a few things?
     Then, you have to know what's the minimum deal. Decide what is the lowest offer you can accept for a deal.
     Then you have to know where you can give way, or make concessions. So fixing concessions and targets is important. Without that you end up agreeing to something and later you think "Oh no, that's a bad deal!" Or you miss out on what seemed a bad deal at the time but was in fact okay, not bad anyway.
     Another area is to know your strengths and your weaknesses. This is as important as being aware of the opportunities and threats -- or dangers -- that exist outside, from competitors for example. So, know the market, know your strengths, and know about prices and other possibilities. If you do this, you can see the negotiation in its proper context. Then you need to prepare all supporting information. Figures, numbers, pictures, whatever. It could be anything, but the most important thing is that you can support what you say. It helps you to be clear.
     Next, the team has to be well prepared, well managed. If it's a team you have, everyone needs a clear role, clear responsibilities.
     Finally, your opening remarks. Prepare what to say. Begin in general terms what you hope to achieve -- the general intention, what you're looking for. (答案hopes to achieve)The opening statement sets up the right atmosphere, the right expectations, it helps things to be clear between the two sides.

The Blonde and the Lawyer
    A blonde and a lawyer were seated next to each other on a flight from Los Angeles to New York. The lawyer asked her if she would like to play a fun game with him.(3答案He asked her a question ,she did so)（4答案No）
     The blonde, tired, just wanted to take a nap. She politely declined and rolled over to the window to catch a few winks. The lawyer persisted and explained that the game was easy and a lot of fun. He explained, "I'll ask you a question, and if you don't know the answer, you pay me $5, and vice versa." Again, she declined and tried to get some sleep. The lawyer, now anxious and nervous, said, "OK, if you don't know the answer you pay me $5, and if I don't know the answer, I'll pay you $500."(5答案he paid her $500,she paid $5)
     This caught the blonde's attention and as she figured there would be no end to this torment unless she played, she agreed to the game.
     The lawyer asked the first question. "What's the distance from the earth to the moon?" Without saying a word, the blonde reached into her purse, pulled out a $5 bill and handed it to the lawyer.
     "OK," said the lawyer, "your turn." She asked the lawyer, "What goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with four legs?"
     The lawyer, puzzled, took out his laptop computer and searched all his references, no answer. He searched the Internet and the Library of Congress, still no answer. Frustrated, he sent e-mails to all his friends and co-workers, to no avail. After an hour, he woke up the blonde, and handed her $500. "Thank you," the blonde said and turned back to get some more sleep.
     The lawyer, who was a bit angry, woke her up again and asked, "Well, what's the answer?"
     Without a word, the blonde reached into her purse, handed the lawyer $5, and went back to sleep. (7答案The blonde won 490.The lawyer lose 490.)(8答案clever,stupid, the opposite)

From Rags to Riches

    In the 1990s, Demi Moore was a major movie star and, as the wife of Bruce Wilis, one half of a Hollywood power couple. Life was good. She had a multimillion-dollar mansion in Los Angeles, a 25-acre ranch in Hailey, Idaho. Nothing about that glamorous life had anything in common with her poor childhood.
     She grew up in New Mexico. Her parents were hard drinkers who moved her and her half-brother 30 times before settling in Los Angeles when she was 14. Fiercely ambitious, Moore began modeling while at high school and dropped out at 16 to pursue an acting career. Soon after she turned 18, she got a part in a popular soap opera. But her big break came in 1985 when she starred as a drug addict in a hit movie.
     Moore met Bruce Wilis in 1987. It was love at first sight. They got married in Las Vegas four months later. The next year, Wilis starred in Die Hard, making him one of Hollywood's top-paid actors, while Moore's success in Ghost and A Few Good Men boosted her paycheck to more than $12 million per movie.(In the 1990s答案未知)
     These were followed by three big-budget movies, one of which was The Scarlet Letter. Then her career stalled. And in October 2000, her 13-year-old marriage ended in divorce. Later she moved out of Hollywood. Since then, she has been living a simpler life, residing full time in her ranch in Idaho. Her ambition is now focused not on stardom but on being a good mother to her daughters with Wilis. "My goal is to build a loving relationship so that my children, as adults, will want to share their lives with me," she said.

原文The French Franc

    For a century much attached to national symbols, France took the imminent death of the franc calmly. It was as if an ancient great-great uncle were about to pass away: a time for nostalgia and regret, rather than grief.
     Unlike the German mark, the franc had never been a symbol of national rebirth or glory. Its recent history was relatively stable but it had to be revalued as recently as 1960. In the 1950s, its value and reputation were so weak that French politicians considered abolishing it and replacing it with something else, based on the value of the pound.
     But money is money after all. It is with us every day. It was surprising that such a conservative people did not express greater sorrow for the loss of their familiar francs. It was also surprising they did not feel a greater sense of aesthetic loss for the franc had always been one of the world's most beautiful currencies.
     The name franc was first used in 1360, to celebrate and help to pay for the release of King Jean II, who was captured by the still poundless English. He created the "franc" or "free" to celebrate the occasion. Over the next 400 years the name came and went but was finally restored by the Revolution in 1795. On February 17th, 2002, the French franc disappeared completely from the financial scene.

  In the 20th century there were two main theories on the origin of the universe. One is the steady state theory, and the other, the big bang theory. According to the former, the universe has always existed and will exist forever. If this view were correct, the universe should have looked the same millions of years ago as it looks now. but astronomers have found that the old universe did not look the same as it does now. therefore, the steady state theory does not seem to be correct.
  The big bang theory states that the universe began in a massive explosion at a single point in space about 15 million years ago. If the statement were right, there should exist in the universe the cosmic background radiation from the explosion. Researchers have found evidence for its existence. In the 1960s, while studying radio signals from the Milky Way. researchers at Bell Labs found their work experiencing interference from every direction. They discovered that the interference turned out to be the cosmic background radiation . So the big bang theory appears to be the correct.

原文Hubble's Closest Look at Mars

    NASA is releasing several images taken by the Hubble Space Telescope, which is the closest yet look at the red planet. Altogether there are four images, which show the entire planet. Each view shows the planet as it completes one quarter of its daily rotation. In these views the north polar cap is turned toward the Earth and is clearly visible at the top of each picture. The images were taken in the middle of the Martian northern summer, when the polar cap was at its smallest size. During this season the sun shines continuously on the polar cap. Previous spacecraft observations have shown that this summertime polar cap is composed of water ice, just like Earth's polar caps.
     The Hubble Telescope pictures reveal that great changes have occurred on the surface of Mars in the past 20 years. The Martian surface is ever changing. Some regions that were dark 20 years ago are now bright red; some areas that were bright red are now dark. Winds move sand and dust from region to region, often in huge dust storms. Over long timescales many of the larger bright and dark markings remain stable, but smaller details come and go as they are covered and then uncovered by sand and dust.
     The Hubble pictures reveal that the surface of Mars is covered with a lot of volcanic rocks. But mysteries still remain. Has there been life on Mars? Is there life on it now? How different is it from our own planet? These are a few of the questions waiting to be solved.

原文Making a New Mosquito
    Bloodsucking mosquitoes are perhaps Earth's most persistent pest, delivering malaria, yellow fever and a host of other diseases each year to more than half a billion people and killing between 2 million and 3 million. Numerous gallons of pesticides are sprayed each year in an effort to wipe out the tiny beasts. But the results have not been good. Many species of mosquitoes have become resistant to insecticides.
     For nearly two decades scientists have been thinking of creating a designer mosquito that would have no ability to spread diseases. Finally in 1998, using technologies developed in genetic engineering, scientists succeeded in producing a new type of mosquitoes with red eyes. These mosquitoes not only look different but act in a different way. Every time they suck blood, a substance that recognizes bacteria and kills them will be produced.
     The major challenge for scientists today is to create a species of mosquitoes that are incapable of transmitting malaria. For this they will have to turn their attention from the laboratory species to malaria-causing species in the wild.
     As scientists move closer to their goal, they are facing a growing argument over whether it is practicable or wise to create such genetically engineered creatures and set them loose in the environment. One of the problems is that genetically engineered mosquitoes would need to be created for each of the estimated 100 species that carry illnesses that affect humans. Furthermore, strains of these mosquitoes vary from place to place. Even though these problems can be solved, where is the village or town that wants a million or so biting mosquitoes released?

原文An Interview with a Successful Woman Writer

(The author of Harry Potter, J. R. Rowling, is being interviewed by a reporter.)

Interviewer: Where do you get your ideas from, Mrs. Rowling?
Rowling: I wish I knew. Sometimes they just come like magic and other times I have to sit and think for weeks before I manage to work out how something will happen. Where the idea for Harry Potter actually came from I really couldn't tell you. I was traveling on a train between Manchester and London and it just popped into my head. I spent four hours thinking about what Hogwarts would be like -- the most interesting train journey I've ever taken. By the time I got off at King's Cross many of the characters in the books had already been invented.
Interviewer: Are any of the characters in the books based on real people?
Rowling: Tricky question! The answer is yes, and no. I have to confess that Hermione Granger is a little bit like I was at her age, though I was neither as clever nor as annoying. Ron is little bit like my oldest friend and Professor Snape is a lot like one of my old teachers, but I'm not saying which one.
Interviewer: How long have you been writing?
Rowling: Nearly all my life. I had written two novels before I had the idea for Harry, though I'd never tried to get them published.
Interviewer: Did you expect the Harry books to be this successful?
Rowling: Never. I just wrote the sort of thing I liked reading when I was younger. I didn't expect lots of people to like them, in fact, I never really thought much apart from getting them published.
Interviewer: Any clues about the next book?
Rowling: I don't want to give anything away, but I can tell you that the books are getting darker ... Harry's going to have quite a bit to deal with as he gets older. Sorry if they get too scary!
Interviewer: Who are your favorite authors?
Rowling: My favorite writer of all time is Jane Austen.

How to Deal with Traumatic Events

    None of us are fully prepared to deal with traumatic events. We feel devastated whenever property is destroyed or there is a serious injury or a loss of life. We can become overwhelmed when friends, co-workers and loved ones experience tragic, dangerous, life-threatening or violent events. To cope, we can look for support from our community, friends, families, co-workers, employers, or a health care professional. A special meeting within the first 24 to 72 hours of a traumatic incident for the people directly involved as well as others affected is an important step toward recovery.
     It is critical to discuss what happened, our role, what we thought, as well as our emotional and physical reactions. This may not take place all at once but may need to happen formally and informally over a period of weeks. Without this, the problems associated with traumatic incidents can become chronic and less easy to cure. Talking about traumatic events can become more challenging when an individual is exposed to repeated traumas over time.

Then, I listen again carefully and if I have any problems I play the difficult part again. In this way I come to understand better both the main idea and the details of the listening text.

   在有阳光的时候，思念有雨的季节，怀念的日子，总是那有雨的时刻，燥热了几日，烦躁了几天，反而觉得，也许满天的乌云，淅淅沥沥有几滴雨，会过得好点！那天早上，不知从那飞来了几片云。云来了，风也多了，好象一切都在老天的主宰中进行着。忙碌的夜，到了午夜，安静了，不经意发现云居然多了，这下人间不忙，老天忙，布满了云，吹起了狂风，大有一场雨的临近。疯狂了一夜的草儿、树儿，到了阳光涌现的白日，又安静了下来，除了满地的叶子，废纸！还是一切安然，就如昨夜除了平静还是平静一样，太阳照常高高挂者，有点寒意，有点云。又是个夜，往常的生活，依然往常的困倦，索然把梦拉进这夜里，然后就升起了风帆，向大海的深处驶去。天亮了！有点冷，无限的乌云，无情的时间，必然开始往常的忙碌。屋顶的几点水，豁然一切都表白了，昨夜有了场雨，应该很大，也许只是几点泪。断断续续，在那往后安静的夜里多了无数的雨点，雨季来了，应该来了。也不是很喜欢有雨的日子，只是有点喜欢那雨后的清晨。在枷锁的困牢中，已忘却了多少个有雨的生活，走过的路，经历的雨，宛如河中的石子，时间的变迁，也许石子早已变成，脚下的沙砾，而那沙砾......在城市里，向往阵阵清晰的空气，雨后的清晨，往往就有点似曾相识的空白，有了雨，也就有了欢喜的情分，然而又被寒意拉回了现实。死水的平静，几滴水，泛起几圈涟漪，也许这就是这场雨的含义。
      还是依旧的人，走着相同的路，用相似的语句，讲述起这不同的雨！胡乱有了几阵雨，开始了寒意的漂泊，闲暇是苛求的停歇。忙碌中抽来点点的思索，很想尝试不一样的旅程，阴云把眼泪冲淡，寒风把急噪的梦撕破。在寂静的徘徊中，寻找感觉，应该是不同的。终于有了这场雨，不大，也许错过了大的场景，或是在梦幻中，已经有了不同的泪水。远山已不在窗前流浪，蒙蒙的模糊，静静的等待，那自由的白鸽。是风惹的祸，还是这雨！点燃一根那种一惯的烟，深深的吸食了一口，没有了味道，也许这种感觉就叫做麻木。很是想流几滴思泪，然而又忘却了什么是记忆，恍惚明白了，童年的哭泣，已流干了泪水，或是成长的旅程中，泪水变成了汗水。
      高楼，层层的高楼，林立的高楼，眼前的也就只有这高楼。除了点点的回忆，还能说明这是个城市，或是它本就是个城市。在城市的变迁中，原有的一片高楼被另一种风格的高楼所代替，依然还是那块地方，依旧还是那条路，变的只有生活在那块土地上的人，变的只有自己的记忆。还能回想起，那个餐厅，但已忘记原有的味道，也许那条路也在变。惊叹昨日的欢乐，居然在今日，相同的地方，和相同的人，失落了。只能在闲暇中感叹，原来我也变了。在思绪中徘徊，忘却了许多，包括自己，也包括昨天和明天的日出。
     有点累，为不知所谓的事情而忙累，毕竟不在是那无忧童话的日子。天还是阴沉沉的，不定的雨，而也就有了不定的变化。感慨时间的流逝，前一秒的感悟，而在后一秒中又有所变化。变化是难以预料的，不确定的未来，多了几份不定的思索。一线灵光，反而明白，无谓的思索，正是带来了这更多的累意。索性不在去思索，静静的看，静静的游荡。又是一日的结束，很想看西落的红阳，而已找不到夕阳的方向，等待夜幕的降临，等待梦境的旅程。夜不会在有那么多的雨滴，很是希望，很是怀念。随意翻阅了几张有字的东西，才发现已没有阅读的兴趣。清晨的阵阵的铃响，一日的开始，庆幸昨夜的早睡。路旁道道的水痕，有雨！昨夜的宁静，只有滴滴的雨水眷顾安静的世界。
      遥远的山峦清晰可见，远飞的飞机消失在，黑压压的天际中，风忘不了把寒意送给出行的人们。又闻到熟悉的空气，向往的雨后晨光，沐浴了片刻，沉寂了片刻，没有等待，没有了怀念。

  喜欢一个人，浅浅地喜欢是最美，不需要告诉他，有时，只是欣赏，还不到爱，喜欢听他的声音，看他的微笑，他颈间小小的痣，还半遮半掩，还欲说还休，还是春天里的二月，还藏着要吐蕊的花苞，这浅浅地喜欢，如饮清茶，淡然而落寂，挑落灯花，满心禅意，是银碗里盛雪的素清，却又听着隔水的云箫，分外的缠绵。

  还有比喜欢更俏的吗？是俏，也娇了，也羞了，低头婉转的心思，只有秋云知道，大朵大朵向西流着，相思何曾闲，我喜欢你了，听得到空气中传来的翠鸟的鸣叫声，喜欢，喜欢！

  是雪白的蚕，在暗夜里流动，看了惊心，一点点地吐了丝，这样的缠了，春阳艳艳之日，一个人跑到开满樱花的院子里看梧桐，那些梧桐真是美，樱花是为它开得这样灿烂吗？喜欢一个人，就剩下一粒简单的心了，其实心里开满了桃花，只能是桃花，这样艳，这样的粉，只有自己知道，这桃花带了满身的巫气，虽然是巫气，可不染尘埃，只觉得日子好长，端坐着，心里还是他，走到大街上，心里也是他，胡兰成写刚刚迷上张爱玲，从她那里出来，去朋友家串门，看到灯下朋友们在打麻将，他看了一会儿，只觉得灯明晃晃的，朋友们说了什么，他不知道，于是走出来，在春夜里，一个人，继续想她。

  这真是喜欢了。

  放不下了，费心思了，明亮亮的喜欢，小虫子一样，在心里蠕动着，喜欢多好啊，如春潮在涨，一直往上涨，彻底崩溃那天，索性赖了皮——我爱你！到底说了，浅浅地喜欢变成了爱。

  爱就互动了，你来我往，爱有抱怨有纠缠，喜欢没有，喜欢是暗自芬芳，是四月里初绿的芽和嫩粉的花，爱是五月天七月雨，风雷雨电，从丽日晴天到天昏地暗，也许只一个刹那——人生都这样快，何况爱？

  如果爱，请深爱。

  不游戏，不江湖，把你当做心里面最里面的那个人，轻易不提你，我可以和全世界所有人开玩笑，只是与你这样紧张，别人提及你的名字，这厢已经崩溃，手脚冰凉，与别人发短信三言二语就玩笑起来，与你，却是字字千金，桃花万里冰河，动一下，便是心里的桃花心里的疼，哪一个字都紧张，这样的发紧，一点也不放松，一点也不江湖。

  是深爱了。因为有了放纵，居然会这样样想念一个人，不是发了疯是什么——原本，是衿持的女子，忽然有一日就问了又问——你到底爱我多少？爱，多少是个多？多少是个少？爱情哪里能度量衡？小女生玩的把戏也敢玩，小女生不敢穿的衣服也敢穿，好象一只夏日的蝉，拚命地叫啊叫啊，只为这一季？——也是，人生能多少时日可以是真心？

  是真爱了，是放不下了，陕北的小曲儿怎么唱？——想你想得没缝缝，哥哥想妹想得瘦，喝碗香油也不长肉，是长不了肉，醒着是她梦着是她，生生是把人惆怅死了，这样的爱，原来是百转柔肠，思君如流水，何有穷已时。

  她也这样相思了——他生莫作有情痴，人间无地著相思。情痴也这只是这热恋时三几时吧，有谁一辈子是情痴？有人说恋爱中的男女不过是着了魔，魔走了，爱就走了，但此时此刻，刘巧儿唱得好——自那日看见他我心里就放不下呀。

  放不下就是爱了，忘不了也是爱，爱情最怕什么？应该最怕时间。时间可以检验爱情，爱着的时候都说一辈子，总还嫌不够，于是对天盟誓，于是海枯石烂，但如何抵挡它如花美眷似水流年？

  转眼就会平淡。

  甚至忘记他的长相他的声音，甚至忘记，他的名字。

  如果过二十年，还能口口声声说爱一个人，只爱她，无限的爱，我这才相信，那是真爱。

  更是深爱。

  浅喜深爱，如果我选择，我选择喜欢，因为喜欢更长久，更绵延，更适合一个人暗自留恋，不张扬，不对抗，只是默默在一边，它不够彻底不够过瘾，但如果和时光抗衡，它一定是化骨绵掌，这千山万里路，只有喜欢，只有喜欢可以浩浩荡荡走下去呀。
