倚窗远眺，目光目光尽处必有一座山，那影影绰绰的黛绿色的影，是春天的颜色。周遭流岚升腾，没露出那真实的面孔。面对那流转的薄雾，我会幻想，那里有一个世外桃源。在天阶夜色凉如水的夏夜，我会静静地，静静地，等待一场流星雨的来临…
许下一个愿望，不乞求去实现，至少，曾经，有那么一刻，我那还未枯萎的，青春的，诗意的心，在我最美的年华里，同星空做了一次灵魂的交流…
秋日里，阳光并不刺眼，天空是一碧如洗的蓝，点缀着飘逸的流云。偶尔，一片飞舞的落叶，会飘到我的窗前。斑驳的印迹里，携刻着深秋的颜色。在一个落雪的晨，这纷纷扬扬的雪，飘落着一如千年前的洁白。窗外，是未被污染的银白色世界。我会去迎接，这人间的圣洁。在这流转的岁月里，有着流转的四季，还有一颗流转的心，亘古不变的心。
2000年 Passage 5
①（27）If ambition is to be well regarded, the rewards of ambition—wealth, distinction, control over one’s destiny—must be deemed worthy of the sacrifices made on ambition’s behalf. ②If the tradition of ambition is to have vitality, it must be widely shared; and it especi
ally must be highly regarded by people who are themlves admired, the educated not least among them. ③（28）In an odd way, however, it is the educated who have claimed to have given up on ambition as an ideal. ④猪颈肉What is odd is that they have perhaps most benefited from ambition—if not always their own then that of their parents and grandparents. ⑤There is a heavy note of hypocrisy in this, a ca of closing the barn door after the hors have escaped—with the educated themlves riding on them.
①Certainly people do not em less interested in success and its signs now than formerly. ②Summer homes, European travel, BMWs—the locations, place names and name brands may change, but such items do not em less in demand today than a decade or two years ago.③（29）What has happened is that people cannot confess fully to their dreams, as easily and openly as once they could, lest they be thought pushing, acquisitive and vulgar. ④Instead, we are treated to fine hypocritical spectacles, which now more than ever em in ample supply: the critic of American materialism with a Southampton summer home; the publisher of radical books who takes his meals in three-
star restaurants; the journalist advocating participatory democracy in all phas of life, who own children are enrolled in private schools. ⑤For such people and many more perhaps not so exceptional, the proper formulation is, “Succeed at all costs but avoid appearing ambitious.”
①The attacks on ambition are many and come from various angles; its public defenders are few and unimpressive, where they are not extremely unattractive. ②As a result, the support for ambition as a healthy impul, a quality to be admired and fixed in the mind of the young, is probably lower than it has ever been in the United States. ③泡脚凤爪This does not mean that ambition is at an end, that people no longer feel its stirrings and promptings, but only that, no longer openly honored, it is less openly profesd. ④Conquences follow from this, of cour, some of which are that ambition is driven underground, or made sly. ⑤Such, then, is the way things stand: on the left angry critics, on the right stupid supporters, and in the middle, as usual, the majority of earnest people trying to get on in life. ［431 words］
