小叮咛
①Mum，I looked high and low for a bench to sit，but I still can't get one.妈妈，我到处找遍了，都没有找到一条长凳可以坐。look high and low的字面意思是“高处低处都找遍了”，意指“到处都找了”。例如：
-Have you found your necklace找到你的项链了吗？
-Not yet，but I have looked high and low.
还没呢，但我都找遍了呀。

03经典背诵
A Entangled Dragonfly一只被困的蜻蜓
I once rescued a magnificent golden dragonfly from a church pew where it had become entangled in spiders' webs.It was feebly trying to free its wings and legs.In a few seconds I had pulled away the strands，allowing it to rise up once again into the freedom of the Sunday morning air.
It made me think about myself，and about all of us.Here was this powerful creature of intricate beauty left unable to fly because of a few sticky threads.Its whole life was paralyzed.
How often we become buried in darkness and depression because of one insignificant worry or frustration！The angrier we become，the less able we are to escape.Eventually we cannot move any more，stuck in our own misery.But if we choose to let it go，to refuse to allow ourselves to be trapped in self-pity，we'll be free to move on，and to be healed.
曾经有一次，我在教堂内长椅上救了一只无比美丽却被蜘蛛网粘住的金色蜻蜓。当时它正软弱无力地挣扎，试图摆脱缠着它翅膀和腿的蛛丝。短短几秒钟，我就把粘 丝拨开了，这只蜻蜓再次在周日的天空中自由自在地飞翔起来。
此情此景不禁让我想到了自己和我们所有的人。我们看到的是一个无比美丽而又具有强大生命力的生灵，却因为一点粘丝的束缚而无法飞翔，整个生命因此陷入瘫痪 。
我们人类不也常常因为一些无关紧要的忧虑或者挫折而坠入黑暗与沮丧中无自拔吗？我们越生气，就越难以得到解脱。最后我们再也无法动弹，终于陷入自己制作的 痛苦中。但是如果我们选择了释放，不再因自我怜悯而无法自拔，我们就会自由自在继续前行，心灵的创伤也会随之不治而愈。
