Reward for Virtue

My friend, Hugh, has always been fat, but things got so bad recently that he decided to go on a diet. He began his diet a week ago. First of all, he wrote out a long list of all the foods which were forbidden. The list included most of the things Hugh loves: butter, potatoes, rice, beer, milk, chocolate; and sweets. Yesterday I paid him a visit. I rang the bell and was not surprised to see that Hugh was still as fat as ever. He led me into his room and hurriedly hid a large parcel under his desk. It was obvious that he was very embarrassed. When I asked him what he was doing, he smiled guiltily and then put the parcel on the desk. He explained that his diet was so strict that he had to reward himself occasionally. Then he showed me the contents of the parcel. It contained five large bars of chocolate and three bags of sweets!{or的故事}.

E是等腰梯形一腰CB的中点,EF⊥AD,垂足为F,求证:S梯形ABCD=AD·EF 如图，连接AE交BC的延长线于G点，连接BE，

∵DE=EC，CG=DA，∠ADE=∠ECG，

∴△ADE≌△GCE（SAS），

∴：AE=GE，

∴可得：S△ABG=S梯形ABCD=2S△ABE=AB×FE．

如图所示在直角梯形ABCD中，AD//BC，∠B=90°，AD=24cm，AB=8cm，BC=26cm，动点P、Q分别从A、C同时出发，点P以1cm/s的速度由A向D运动，点Q以3cm/s的速度由C向B运动，当其中一点到达一端时，另一点也随之停止运动。求几秒钟后，四边形PQCD成为等腰梯形。

∵P,Q分别从A,C同时出发，动点P沿AD边以1CM秒的速度向D运动，动点Q沿CB边以3CM秒的速度向B运动

且AD=24CM,BC=26CM，AD‖BC，∠B=90度

∴在T秒内，动点P运动的距离是T厘米，动点Q运动的距离是3T厘米

即AP=T(厘米)，DP=AD-AP=24-T(厘米)，CQ=3T(厘米)

∵要使四边形PQCD是平行四边形，必有CQ=DP，即3T=24-T........(1)

要使四边形PQCD是等腰梯形，必有CQ=DP+2(BC-AD)，即3T=24-T+2*2........(2)

∴解方程(1)得 T=6(秒)

解方程(2)得 T=7(秒)

故当运动时间为6秒时，四边形PQCD是平行四边形。当运动时间为7秒时，四边形PQCD是等腰梯形。 如图,平面上的四边形 ABCD 是一只"风筝"的骨架,其中 AB=AD,CB=CD. (1)九年级王云同学观察了这个 风筝"的骨架后, 九年级王云同学观察了这个" (1)九年级王云同学观察了这个"风筝"的骨架后,他认为四边形 ABCD 的两条对角线 AC⊥BD,垂足为 E, 你同意王云同学的判断吗?请充分说明理由; 并且 BE=ED,你同意王云同学的判断吗?请充分说明理由; 的面积. (2)设对角线 AC=a,BD=b,请用含 a,b 的式子表示四边形 ABCD 的面积.

根据题设，

（1）∵AB=AD，

∴点A在BD的垂直平分线上．

∵CB=CD，

∴点C在BD的垂直平分线上．

∴AC为BD的垂直平分线，BE=DE，AC⊥BD．

（2）由（1）得AC⊥BD．

∴SABCD=S△CBD+S△ABD=1/2BD•CE+1/2BD•AE=1/2BD•AC=1/2ab．

设BD的中点为F，连结AF、CF。由于AB=AD,所以AF⊥BD，同理CF⊥BD。根据过直线上一点有且只有一条直线与已知直线垂直可知，AFC共线，所以F即为E点。{or的故事}.

由此，我们可以推断AC⊥BD，BE=ED。

（2）四边形ABCD可以拆分为△ABD与△BCD。

S（ABD）=1/2(DB×AE)，S（BCD）=1/2(DB×EC)

所以S（ABCD）=1/2(DB×（AE+EC))=1/2(DB×AC)=1/2ab

如图，在等腰梯形ABCD中，已知AD∥BC，AB=DC，AD=2，BC=4，延长BC到E，使CE=AD．

（1）写出图中所有与△DCE全等的三角形，并选择其中一对说明全等的理由；

（2）探究当等腰梯形ABCD的高DF是多少时，对角线AC与BD互相垂直？请回答并说明理由．

解：（1）△CDA≌△DCE，△BAD≌△DCE；（2分）

①△CDA≌△DCE的理由是：

∵AD∥BC，

∴∠CDA=∠DCE．（3分）

又∵DA=CE，CD=DC，（4分）

∴△CDA≌△DCE．（5分）

②△BAD≌△DCE的理由是：

∵AD∥BC，

∴∠CDA=∠DCE．（3分）

又∵四边形ABCD是等腰梯形，

∴∠BAD=∠CDA，

∴∠BAD=∠DCE．（4分）

又∵AB=CD，AD=CE，

∴△BAD≌△DCE．（5分）

（2）当等腰梯形ABCD的高DF=3时，对角线AC与BD互相垂直．（6分）

理由是：设AC与BD的交点为点G，∵四边形ABCD是等腰梯形，{or的故事}.

∴AC=DB．

又∵AD=CE，AD∥BC，

∴四边形ACED是平行四边形，（7分）

∴AC=DE，AC∥DE．

∴DB=DE．（8分）

则BF=FE，

又∵BE=BC+CE=BC+AD=4+2=6，

∴BF=FE=3． （9分）

∵DF=3，

∴∠BDF=∠DBF=45°，∠EDF=∠DEF=45°，

∴∠BDE=∠BDF+∠EDF=90°，

又∵AC∥DE

∴∠BGC=∠BDE=90°，即AC⊥BD．（10分）

or的故事篇二

and和or的比较

and和or的比较

并列结构中，or通常用于否定句，and用于肯定句。

但有时and 也可用于否定句。请注意其不同特点：

There is no air or water in the moon.

There is no air and no water on the moon.

在否定中并列结构用or 连接，但含有两个否定词的句子实际被看作是肯定结构，因此要用and。

典型例题

---I don't like chicken ___ fish.

---I don't like chicken, ___ I like fish very much.

A. and； and B. and； but C. or； but D. or；and

答案C。否定句中表并列用or, but 表转折。

判断改错：

(错) We will die without air and water.

(错) We can't live without air or water.

(对) We will die without air or water.

(对) We can't live without air and water.

or用于连接并列的单词、词组、短语或句子,表示"或者"的意思。如:

We can visit the World Park or travel around the world.

我们可以参观世界公园,或者周游全世界。

or用在选择疑问句中(一般疑问句+or+被选择的部分，构成选择疑问句。),灵活译为"还是"。如:

Is that an apple or an orange?那是苹果还是桔子?

Do you like apples or pears?

Would you like tea or coffee?

or用于否定句中,代替and ,表示"和"的意思。如:

I don't like bread , rice or porridge.我不喜欢面包、米饭和粥。

porridge [ˈpɒrɪdʒ]n.粥； 麦片粥；稀饭；

or,表示"否则,要不然"的意思。如: Hurry up, or you'll be late.快点,否则你要迟到啦。

Work hard, or you cannot pass this exam.

and是连词，用来连接两个语法上相同的词、短语或句子，表示并列或附加关系。可以连接主语、谓语、宾语以及两个句子。当连接两个主语时，谓语动词要用复数形式。如果连接人称代词时，通常按第二、第三、第一人称的顺序。例如：

• Lily and Lucy are in the same class.

• 李莉和露西在同一个班级。

• He felt cold and hungry.他感到既冷又饿。

1

• I help him and he helps me.我帮他，他帮我。

• You, Jack and I are classmates.我和你和杰克是同班同学。

or表示选择关系(用于陈述句中)“或，或者；还是”，表示一种选择关系。or如果连接两个主语时，谓语动词的单复数形式与or后面的主语保持一致。例如：

• Answer yes or no.回答“是”或“不是”。

• You can go there by bus or on foot.你可以坐公共汽车或者步行去那儿。

• She or I am wrong.她或者是我错了。

• You or she is going to tell us a story.你或者是她将给我们讲个故事。

• （用于疑问句中）“还是”。例如：

• Is it green or blue?是绿的还是蓝的？

• Is the baby a boy or a girl?是男孩儿还是女孩儿？

Do you like tea or coffee?你喜欢喝茶还是咖啡

• 是否定句之后通常用 or代替 and。如：

• He spoke loudly and clearly. 他说话声音宏亮且清晰。

• He didn’t speak loudly or clearly. 他说话声音不大且不清晰。

or的故事篇三

英语经典故事

Chinese Valentine's Day (or "Qi Qiao Jie ") falls on the seventh day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar (August according to the Gregorian calendar). As is the custom elsewhere in the world, this is a day devoted to romance.

In China, this day is also known as "The Begging Festival" or "The Daughter's Festival." It is an important day for girls. In the evening, girls prepare melons and fruit before worship and prayers for a good marriage.

There are many stories as to the origins of Chinese Valentine's Day, and one of them involves the Emperor of Heaven and his seven daughters.

The love story

The seventh daughter of the Emperor of Heaven and an orphaned cowherd were separated by the Emperor; the girl was forced to move to the star Vega （织女星，天琴座中的最亮的那颗星）and the cowherd, to the star Altair（牛郎星, 牵牛星）. They were only allowed to meet once a year on the day of seventh day of seventh lunar month - Chinese Valentine's Day.

The story begins with the handsome but poor orphan who lived with his elder brother and sister-in-law. After his parents passed away, the boy's brother inherited the house and land. But all he had was an old ox. As a cowherd, the boy had to work the farm fields with his ox everyday. His daily life routine resembled the story of Cinderella （《灰姑娘》）.

The seventh daughter of the Emperor, also known as the Weaving Maid, was good at handcrafting, especially

weaving clothes. The Emperor particularly appreciated her skills of weaving clouds with rainbows to make the world more beautiful.

The cowherd's ox, which was actually an immortal from heaven, made mistakes in heaven and was reincarnated as an ox to toil on earth. One day, the ox suddenly said to the cowherd: "You are a nice person. If you want to get married, go to the brook and your wish will come true."

The cowherd went to the brook and watched the seven pretty daughters of the Emperor come down from heaven to take a bath. Fascinated by the youngest and the most beautiful one, the cowherd hid her fairy clothes. When the other six fairies went away after the bath, the youngest could not fly back to heaven without her fairy clothes. The cowherd then appeared and told the Weaving Maid that he would keep her clothes until she agreed to be his wife. After a slight hesitation, mixed with coyness and eagerness, the maid accepted the handsome man's proposal. The couple was then married and had two children two years later.

Meanwhile, up in heaven, the Emperor missed the beautiful skies once woven by his seventh daughter. He ordered his daughter's grandmother to find her and bring her back to him. As the seventh princess was flying to heaven with her grandmother, the cowherd put on his old ox's hide (which he preserved after the animal had died long ago) and put their children into two bamboo baskets laced with his wife's magical fairy clothes to chase after his love. But the grandmother created a milky way in the sky with her hairpin, which kept the lovers apart. The seventh princess moved to the star Vega (The Swooping Eagle) in the Lyra (Harp) constellation. And the cowherd and their two children stayed on the star Altair (Flying One) in the Aquila (Eagle) constellation.

Success Is a Choice

All of us ought to be able to prepare for the predictable challenges and setbacks that crop up every day. If we expect that life won't be perfect， we'll be able to avoid an impelling force to quit. But even if you are strong enough to persist through the obstacle course of life and work， sometimes you will encounter an harmful event that will completely knock you on your back.

Whether it's a financial loss， the loss of respect of your peers or loved ones， or some other traumatic event in your life these major setbacks leave you doubting yourself and wondering if things can ever change for the better again.

Adversity happens to all of us， and it happens all the time. Some form of major adversity is either going to be there or it's lying in wait just around the corner. To ignore adversity is to yield to the ultimate self-delusion.

But you must recognize that history is full of examples of men and women who achieved greatness despite facing difficulties so steep that they easily could have crushed their spirit and left them lying in the dust. Moses was a stutterer, yet he was called on to be the voice of God. Abraham Lincoln over- came a difficult childhood，

depression， the death of two sons，and constant ridicule during the Civil War to become arguably our greatest president ever. Helen Keller made an impact on the world despite being deaf， dumb， and blind from an early age. Franklin Roosevelt had polio.{or的故事}.

There are endless examples. These were people who not only looked adversity in the face but learned valuable lessons about overcoming difficult circumstances and were able to move ahead.

我们每天都应该让自己做好准备，迎接可预见的挫折和挑战。如果我们相信生活不可能是完美的。我们就能避免因一时的冲动而放弃追求。但即使你拥有坚强的意志，能够挺过生活和工作中的困难，有时你也会遭遇逆境，它会在你背后给你狠狠一击。

不管是出现经济损失，或是失去同辈及亲人的尊敬，或是遭受生命创伤，这些重大挫折都会使你对自己产生怀疑，并且怀疑情况是否好转。

我们每个人都可能遭遇困境，并且它时常发生。有些大灾难不是即刻发生就是待在角落等待时机。忽视逆境其实就是在欺骗自己。 但是你必须认识到历史上有许多事例都讲述了克服重重困难之后才获得成功的人。那些困难，足以粉碎他们的意志，让他们流落尘世。摩西有口吃，但他后来却成为上帝的福音使者。亚伯拉罕林肯战胜了童年的困难`绝望`丧失了两个儿子痛苦以及内战中接踵而来的嘲笑，最终成为美国历史上无可置疑的最伟大的总统。海伦凯勒早年双目失明，又是个聋哑，但是她还是对世界产生了巨大影响，而富兰克林罗斯福则患有小儿麻痹症。

类似的例子不胜枚举。这些人不仅大胆的面对困难，而且从中学到了克服困难的宝贵经验。然后勇往直前。

The Power of actions- an inspiring story

他被绊倒了，书撒了一地，眼镜也飞到了旁边的草地上。他抬起头来，眼睛里充满了悲伤。于是我走过去，找到他的眼镜递给了他„„

One day, when I was a freshman in high school, I saw a kid from my class walking home from school. His name was Kyle. It looked like he was carrying all of his books. I thought to myself, "Why would anyone bring home all his books on a Friday? He must really be a nerd." I had quite a weekend planned (parties and a football game with my friend the following afternoon), so I shrugged my shoulders and went on.

As I was walking, I saw a bunch of kids running toward him. They ran at him, knocking all his books out of his arms and tripping him so he landed in the dirt. His glasses went flying, and I saw them land in the grass about ten feet from him. He looked up and I saw this terrible sadness in his eyes.

My heart went out to him. So, I jogged over to him, and as he crawled around looking for his glasses, I saw tears in his eyes. I handed him his glasses and said, "Those guys are jerks. They really should get lives." He looked at me and said, "Hey, thanks!" There was a big smile on his face. It was one of those smiles that showed real gratitude. I helped him pick up his books, and asked him where he lived. It turned out he lived near me, so I asked him why I had never seen him before. He said he had gone to private school before coming to this school.

I would have never hung out with a private school kid before. We talked all the way home, and I carried his books. He turned out to be a pretty cool kid. I asked him if he wanted to play football on Saturday with me and my friends. He said yes. We hung all weekend and the more I got to know Kyle, the more I liked him. And my friends thought the same of him. Monday morning came, and there was Kyle with the huge stack of books again. I stopped him and said, "Damn boy, you are gonna really build some serious muscles with this pile of books everyday!". He just laughed and handed me half the books. Over the next four years, Kyle and I became best friends.

When we were seniors, we began to think about college. Kyle decided on Georgetown, and I was going to Duke. I knew that we would always be friends, that the miles would never be a problem. He was going to be a doctor, and I was going for business on a football scholarship. Kyle was valedictorian of our class.

I teased him all the time about being a nerd. He had to prepare a speech for graduation. I was so glad it wasn't me having to get up there and speak.

Graduation day arrived -- I saw Kyle and he looked great. He was one of those guys that really found himself during high school. He filled out and actually looked good in glasses. He had more dates than me and all the girls loved him!

Boy, sometimes I was jealous. Today was one of those days. I could see that he was nervous about his speech. So, I smacked him on the back and said, "Hey, big guy, you'll be great!"

He looked at me with one of those looks (the really grateful one) and smiled. "Thanks," he said. As he started his speech, he cleared his throat, and began. "Graduation is a time to thank those who helped you make it through those tough years. Your parents, your teachers, your siblings, maybe a coach… but mostly your friends. I am here to tell all of you that being a friend to someone is the best gift you can give them. I am going to tell you a story."

I stared at my friend in disbelief as he told the story of the first day we met. He had planned to kill himself over the weekend. He talked of how he had cleaned out his locker so his Mom wouldn't have to do it later and was carrying his stuff home. He looked hard at me and gave me a little smile. "Thankfully, I was saved. My friend saved me from doing the unspeakable."

I heard the gasp go through the crowd as this handsome, popular boy told us all about his weakest moment. I saw his mom and dad looking at me and smiling that same grateful smile. Not until that moment did I realize its depth.

Never underestimate the power of your actions. With one small gesture you can change a person's life. For better or for worse. God puts us all in each other's lives to impact one another in some way. Look for God in others.

"Friends are angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly."

To a large degree，the measure of our peace of mind is determined by how much we are able to live in the present moment．Irrespective of what happened yesterday or last year，and what may or may not happen tomorrow，the present moment is where you are －－always．

Without question，many of us have mastered the neurotic art of spending much of our lives worrying about a variety of things －－all at once．We allow past problems and future concerns to dominate our present moments，so much so that we end up anxious，frustrated，depressed，and hopeless．On the flip side，we also postpone our gratification，our stated priorities，and our happiness，often convincing ourselves that “someday” will be better than today．Unfortunately，the same mental dynamics that tell us to look toward the future will only repeat themselves so that ‘someday ’never actually arrives．John Lennon once said，‘Life is what's happening while we're busy making other plans．’When we're busy making ‘other plans’，our children are busy growing up，the people we love are moving away and dying，our bodies are getting out of shape，and our dreams are slipping away．In short，we miss out on life． Many people live as if life were a dress rehearsal for some later date．It isn’t．In fact，no one has a guarantee that he or she will be here tomorrow．Now is the only time we have，and the only time that we have any control over．When our attention is in the present moment，we push fear from our minds．Fear is the concern over events that might happen in the future－－we won' t have enough money，our children will get into trouble，we will get old and die，whatever． To combat fear，the best strategy is to learn to bring your attention back to the present．Mark Twain said，“I have been through some terrible things in my life, some of which actually happened．”I don't think I can say it any better．Practice keeping your attention on the here and now．Your efforts will pay great dividends．

我们内心是否平和在很大程度上是由我们是否能生活在现实之中所决定的．不管昨天或去年发生了什么，不管明天可能发生或不发生什么，现实才是你时时刻刻所在之处．

毫无疑问，我们很多人掌握了一种神经兮兮的艺术，即把生活中的大部分时间花在为种种事情担心忧虑上---而且常常是同时忧虑许多事情．我们听凭过去的麻烦和未来的担心控制我们此时此刻的生活，以致我们整日焦虑不安，萎靡不振，甚至沮丧绝望．而另一方面我们又推迟我们的满足感，推迟我们应优先考虑的事情，推迟我们的幸福感，常常说服自己“有朝一日”会比今天更好．不幸的是，如此告诫我们朝前看的大脑动力只能重复来重复去，以致“有朝一日”永远不会真正来临．约翰·列农曾经说过：“生活就是当我们忙于制定别的计划时发生的事．”当我们忙于制定种种“别的计划”时，我们的孩子在忙于长大，我们挚爱的人离去了甚至快去世了，我们的体型变样了，而我们的梦想也在悄然溜走了．一句话，我们错过了生活．

许多人的生活好像是某个未来日子的彩排．并非如此．事实上，没人能保证他或她明天肯定还活着．现在是我们所拥有的惟一时间，现在也是我们能控制的惟一时间．当我们将注意力放在此时此刻时，我们就将恐惧置于脑后．恐惧就是我们担忧某些事情会在未来发生---我们不会有足够的钱，我们的孩子会惹上麻烦，我们会变老，会死去，诸如此类．

若要克服恐惧心理，最佳策略便是学会将你的注意力拉回此时此刻．马克·吐温说过：“我经历过生活中一些可怕的事情，有些的确发生过．”

我想我说不出比这更具内涵的话．经常将注意力集中于此情此景、此时此刻，你的努力终会有丰厚的报偿．
