Half a day
Naguib Mahfouz
1. I walked alongside my father, clutching his right hand. All my clothes were new: the black shoes, the green school uniform, and the red cap. They did not make me happy, however, as this was the day I was to be thrown into school for the first time.
2. 不运动怎么减肥最快My mother stood at the window watching our progress, and I turned towards her from time to time, hoping she would help. We walked along a street lined with gardens and fields planted with crops, pears, and date palms.
3. “Why school?” I asked my father. “What have I done?”
讨厌的英文4. “I am not punishing you,” he said, laughing. “School is not a punishment. It’s a place that makes uful men out of boys. Don’t you want to be uful like your brothers?”
5. I was not convinced. I did not believe there was really any good to be had in tearing me away from my home and throwing me into the huge, high-walled building.

7. I hesitated and clung to his hand, but he gently pushed me from him. “Be a man,” he said. “Today you truly begin life. You’ll find me waiting for you when it’s time to leave.”
8. I took a few steps. Then the faces of the boys and girls came into view. I did not know a single one of them, and none of them knew me. I felt I was a stranger who had lost his way. But then some boys began to glance at me in curiosity, and one of them came over and asked, “Who brought you?”
9. “My father,” I whispered.
10. “My father’s dead,” he said simply.
11. I did not know what to say. The gate was now clod. Some of the children burst into tears. The bell rang. A lady came along, followed by a group of men. The men began sorti
ng us into ranks. We were formed into an intricate pattern in the great courtyard surrounded by high buildings; from each floor we were overlooked by a long balcony roofed in wood.
12. “This is your new home,” said the woman. “There are mothers and fathers her too. Everything that is enjoyable and beneficial is here. So dry your tears and face life joyfully.”
13. Well, it emed that my misgivings had had no basis. From the first moments I made many friends and fell in love with many girls. I had never imagined school would have this rich variety of experiences.
14. 下载小猪佩奇We played all sorts of games. In the music room we sang our first songs. We also had our first introduction to language. We saw a globe of the Earth, which revolved and showed the various continents and countries. We started learning numbers, and we were told the story of the Creator of the univer. We ate delicious food, took a little nap, and woke up to go on with friendship and love, playing and learning.
15. Our path, however, was not totally sweet and unclouded. We had to be obrvant and patient. It was not all a matter of playing and fooling around. Rivalries could bring about pain and hatred or give ri to fighting. And while the lady would sometimes smile, she would often yell and scold. Even more frequently she would resort to physical punishment.
16. In addition, the time for changing one’s mind was over and gone and there was no question of ever returning to the paradi of home. Nothing lay ahead of us but exertion, struggle, and perverance. Tho who were able took advantage of the opportunities for success and happiness that prented themlves.

When I had waited for a long time in vain, I decided to return home on my own. I walked a few steps, then came t
月亮里的桂树o a startled halt. Good Lord! Where was the street lined with gardens? Where had it disappeared to? When did all the cars invade it? And when did all the people come to rest on the surface? How did the hills of rubbish find their way to cover the sides? And where were the fields that bordered it? High buildings had taken over, the street was full of children, and disturbing nois shook the air. Here and there stood conjurers showing off their tricks or making snakes appear and disappear from baskets. Then there was a band announcing the opening of a circus, with clowns and weight lifters walking in front.
18. 莲藕丸子Good Lord! I was in a daze. My head spun. I almost went crazy. How could all this have happened in half a day, between morning and sunt? I would find the answer at home with my father. But where was my home? I hurried towards the crossroads, becau I remembered that I had to cross the street to reach our hou, but the stream of cars would not let up. Extremely irritated, I wondered when I would be able to cross.

20. He stretched out his arm and said, “Grandpa, let me take you across.”
