2013高三英语自学学案：阅读素材 IT’S WORTH IT! 值得吗？.doc

It'sworthit!值得吗？我们总是处在决定和选择之中，决定一件事情是否该做，是否值得做；选择我们认为重要的，放弃我们认为不重要的。而这个过程往往是艰难的，痛苦的，我们会反复地衡量得与失，理性地分析对与错。也许只有当我们静心独处，仔细倾听内心的声音的时候，才能做出一个不后悔的选择。HorrorgrippedtheheartoftheWorldWarIsoldierashesawhislifelongfriendfallinbattle.Caughtinatrenchwithcontinuousgunfirewhizzingoverhishead,thesoldieraskedhislieutenantifhemightgooutintothe"NoMan’sLand"betweenthetrenchestobringhisfallencomradeback."Youcango,"saidtheLieutenant,"butIdon’tthinkitwillbeworthit.Yourfriendisprobablydeadandyoumaythrowyourownlifeaway."TheLieutenant’swordsdidn’tmatter,andthesoldierwentanyway.Miraculouslyhemanagedtoreachhisfriend,hoistedhimontohisshoulder,andbroughthimbacktotheircompany’strench.Asthetwoofthemtumbledintogethertothebottomofthetrench,theofficercheckedthewoundedsoldier,thenlookedkindlyathisfriend."Itoldyouitwouldn’tbeworthit,"hesaid."Yourfriendisdead,andyouaremortallywounded.""Itwasworthit,though,sir,"thesoldiersaid."Howdoyoumean‘worthit’?"respondedtheLieutenant."Yourfriendisdead!""Yessir,"theprivateanswered."ButitwasworthitbecausewhenIgottohim,hewasstillalive,andIhadthesatisfactionofhearinghimsay,‘Jim,Iknewyou’dcome.’"Manyatimeinlife,whetherathingisworthdoingornotreallydependsonhowyoulookatit.Takeupallyourcourageanddosomethingyourhearttellsyoutodosothatyoumaynotregretnotdoingitlaterinlife..版权所有：高考资源网()版权所有：高考资源网()
