Keeping pleasant "He is a fool who can not be angry,but he is really a wise man who will not." The habit of keeping pleasant is indeed better than an income of a thousand dollars a year.The life without cheerfulness is like the severe winter without the sun. We all love cheerful company,but we are apt to forget that cheerfulness is a habit which can be cultivated by all. We find it very difficult to be gay when we are in distress .It requires great courage. We should never forget that to

Honest Scales 1 The synagogue looked like any other synagogue in Poland．But near the door was a set of scales．Strangers often wondered about them．But the people of the town knew why they were there．2 Years back a drought,had come to the town．For months there had been no rain．Wells were dry．Gardens and farms were scorched．The people suffered thirst,and hunger．Some died．3 The jews of the town looked for help to their rabbi．And the rabbi prayed．But nothing happened. 4 One night the rabbi was alone,praying．He fell asleep．In his sleep he heard a voice say:"Your prayers will bring no help,There is only one man in town who can help.It is Kalman the grocer. You must call all the Jews to the synagogue and Kalman must lead the people in prayer．"     

A Study on the Iconicity of English Language

Throughout the history, arbitrariness put forward by Saussure has been regarded as one of the most designing features of language. Saussure claimed that there is no interrelationship between the signifier and signified, or such relationship can’t be testified but conventional. Later, the famous linguists Peirce and Haiman, who have made great contribution to the ever-heated theory of iconicity, reveal another feature of the language. The purpose of this paper is not to deny the arbitrary nature of language, but to suggest that the nature of language is a combination of arbitrariness and iconicity.     

没人想长命百岁

It's only natural to look forward to something better. We do it all our lives. Things may never really improve, but at least we always hope they will. It is one of life's great ironies that the longer we live, the less there is to look forward to. Retirement may bring with it the fulfillment of a lifetime's dreams. At last there will be time to do all the things we never had time for.

New Understanding of Henchard’s Tragedy in “The Mayor of Casterbridge”

No masterpiece by great writers is single-sided.It is always polyhedron and is bound to show new sides if we read it in a different perspective.Traditionally,"the Mayor of Casterbridge",one of the important novels by Thomas Hardy,is an illustration of the inevitable doom of the patriarchal economy in the English countryside in the 19th century England due to the merciless squeeze by industrial expansion.However,considering the widespread accepted theory of Adam Smith’s economic man and moral man,we could find that man are always in conflict between the two.Someone who are very rational and perfectly informed to pursue their own profits and wealth regardless of others’ interests could always successfully gain their wealth with the cost of losing their own happiness,while others who always care about someone else,put themselves in someone else’s places,and regard someone else’s happiness as their concerns could eventually get their real happiness and sweet life with a sympathetic heart.Adam Smith thinks that the egoism(economic man) and the altruism(moral man) are both human’s natural instincts.Only a moderately prudent balance and union between the two could both develop the economy and gain the happiness.In "The Mayor of Casterbridge",Henchard’s tragedy just lies in the abundance of egoism but the shortage of altruism.That’s to say,he possesses too many characteristics of economic man but too little of moral man.Then Henchard inevitably begins his tragic way with no repentance.
