Rush
Guidance for Reciting
Time is the rider that breaks youth. Don't waste your precious time，for youth，once spent，will never come again.
Swallows may have gone，but there is a time of return；willow trees may have died back，but there is a time of re-greening；peach blossoms may have fallen，but they will bloom again. Now，you the wise，tell me，why should our days leave us，never to return？―If they had been stolen by someone，who could it be？Where could he hide them？If they had made the escape themselves，then where could they stay at the moment？

匆匆
诵读导言
时间是驯服青春的骑手。光阴勿虚度，青春不再来。
燕子去了，有再来的时候；杨柳枯了，有再青的时候；桃花谢了，有再开的时候。但是，聪明的你，告诉我，我们的日子为什么一去不复返呢？――是有人偷了他们吧，那是谁？又藏在何处呢？是他们自己逃走了，现在又到了哪里呢？
