【篇一】2021年上半年大学英语四级美文赏析
From the golden-tipped fields of mid-west America to the ancient kingdoms of verdant Palestine,there is a happy truth to be shared with all who would take heed.In more recent times, this truth has been expressed as:April showers bring May flowers.This is a truth that promises light bursting from darkness,strength born from weakness and,if one dares to believe, life emerging from death.Farmers all over the world know the importance and i妹妹utability of the seasons.
They know that there is a season to plant and a season to harvest;everything must be done in its own time.Although the rain pours down with the utmost relentlessness,ceasing all outdoor activities,the man of the field lifts his face to the heavens and smiles.Despite the inconvenience,he knows that the rain provides the nourishment his crops need to grow and flourish.The torrential rains in the month of April,give rise to the glorious flowers in the month of May.
But this ancient truth applies to more than the crops of the fields;it is an invaluable message of hope to all who experience tragedy in life.A dashed relationship with one can open up the door to a brand new friendship with another.A lost job here can provide the opportunity for a better job there.A broken dream can become the foundation of a wonderful future.Everything has its place.Remember this: overwhelming darkness may endure for a night,but it will never overcome the radiant light of the morning.When you are in a season of sorrow, hang in there,because a season of joy may be just around the corner...

One family, which had emigrated from Japan and settled at the turn of the century near San Francisco,had established a business in which they grew roses and trucked them into San Francisco three mornings a week.The other family was a naturalized family from Switzerland who also marketed roses,and both families became modestly successful,as their roses were known in the markets of San Francisco for their long vase-life.For almost four decades the two families were neighbors,and the sons took over the farms,but then on December 7, 1941,Japan attacked Pearl Harbor.
Although the rest of the family members were Americans,the father of the Japanese family had never been naturalized.As they planned to leave the country, his neighbor made it clear that,if necessary, he would look after his friend's nursery.It was something each family had learned in church:Love thy neighbor as thyself.“You would do the same for us,”he told his Japanese friend.It was not long before the Japanese family was transported to a barren landscape in Canada.A full year went by. Then two. Then three.While the Japanese neighbors were in Canada,their friends worked in the greenhouses,the children worked before school and on Saturdays,and the father's work often stretched to 16 and 17 hours a day.
And then one day, when the war in Europe had ended,the Japanese family packed up and boarded a train.They were going home.What would they find?The family was met at the train station by their neighbors,and when they got to their home, the whole Japanese family stared.There was the nursery, intact, scrubbed and shining in the sunlight —neat, prosperous and healthy.And the house was just as clean and welcoming as the nursery.And there on the dining room was one perfect red rosebud,just waiting to unfold — the gift of one neighbor to another.

Someone said that encouragement is simply reminding a person of the “shoulders” he’s standing on,the heritage he’s been given.That’s what happened when a young man,the son of a star baseball player,was drafted by one of the minor-league teams.Hard as he tried,his first season was disappointing,and by midseason he expected to be released any day.
The coaches were bewildered by his failure because he possessed all the characteristics of a superb athlete,but he couldn’t seem to incorporate those advantages into a coordinated effort.He seemed to have become disconnected from his potential.His future seemed darkest one day when he had already stuck out his first time at bat.Then he stepped up to the batter’s box again and quickly ran up two strikes.
The catcher called a time-out and ran to the pitcher’s mound for a conference.While they were busy, the umpire,standing behind the plate,spoke casually to the boy.Then play resumed, the next pitch was thrown —and the young man knocked it out of the park.That was the turning point.From then on, he played the game with a new confidence and power that quickly drew the attention of the parent team,and he was called up to the majors.
On the day he was leaving for the city,one of his coaches asked him what had caused such a turnaround.The young man replied that it was the encouraging remark the umpire had made that day when his baseball career had seemed doomed.“He told me I reminded him of all the times he had stood behind my dad in the batter’s box,”the boy explained.“He said I was holding the bat just the way Dad had held it.And he told me,‘I can see his genes in you;you have your father’s arms.After that, whenever I swung the bat,I just imagined I was using Dad’s arms instead of my own.”
