12、homes.Section One Passages 短篇短篇Piece 2Models for Appreciation and Imitation时代的悖论时代的悖论我们居住的房屋越来越宽敞，家庭却越来越小型化；可以享受的生活便利日益增多，属于自己的时间却日趋减少；我们获得更多的学位证书，常识却在减少；我们掌握了更多的知识，却愈加缺乏公正判断；专家越来越多，问题却也日渐增加；药物越吃越多，健康却每况愈下。我们花钱太疯，笑容太少，开车太快，发怒太急，熬夜太晚，起床就太累，文章读得太少，电视看得太勤，祷告做得太少。我们不断聚敛物质财富，却逐渐丢失了自我价值。我们的话语太多，真爱太少，谎言泛滥。
13、我们掌握了谋生手段，却不懂得生活真谛；我们让年华付诸流水，却不曾将生命倾注其中。我们的住房越来越好，脾气却越来越糟；我们行驶的道路越来越宽阔，眼光却越来越狭隘。我们付出很多，可获得的很少；我们购买了很多，可从中得到的乐趣却很少。我们能够往返于地球与月球之间，却不乐于穿过马路向新邻居问好。我们可以征服外部空间，却慑于走进内心世界。我们可以击碎原子，却不能突破思想偏见；我们写得很多，可学到的很少；计划很多，可完成的很少。我们学会了追赶时间，却没学会耐心等待；我们拥有的财富越来越多，道德品质却日益沦丧。我们生产更多的电脑用于存储更多的信息和制造更多的拷贝，而相互间的交流与沟通却越来越少。我们拥有的是
14、数量，缺乏的是质量。这是一个快餐食品和消化迟缓相伴的时代；一个体格高大和性格病态并存的时代；一个追名逐利和人情冷漠相生的时代。我们的休闲多了，乐趣却少了；食品种类多了，营养却少了；双薪家庭增加了，离婚率也激升了；居室的装修华丽了，家庭却残缺破碎了。Section One Passages 短篇短篇第二篇第二篇Models for Appreciation and ImitationWhen Im Getting OldThe day that you see me old and I am already not in good health,have patience and try to

16、y until you get to sleep.When I do not want to have a shower,neither shame me nor scold me.Remember when I had to chase you with thousand excuses I invented,in order that you wanted to bath.When you see my ignorance on new technologies,give me the necessary time and not look at me with your mocking
17、smile.I taught you how to do so many things:to eat good,to dress well,to confront life.When at some moment I lose the memory or the thread of our conversation,let me have the necessary time to remember,and if I cannot do it,do not become nervous,as the most important thing is not my conversation but
18、 surely to be with you and to have you listening to me.If ever I do not want to eat,do not force me.I know well when I need to and when not.When my tired legs do not allow me to walk,give me your hand,the same way I did when you gave your first steps.Section One Passages 短篇短篇Piece 3Models for Apprec
19、iation and Imitation当我老了当我老了哪天你看到我日渐老去，身体也渐渐不行，请耐着性子试着理解我。如果我吃得脏兮兮，如果我不能穿衣服，请有一点耐性，你记得我曾花了多长时间教你这些事吗?如果，当我一再重复述说同样的事情，不要打断我，请听我说。你小时候，我必须一遍又一遍地读着同样的故事，直到你静静睡着。当我不想洗澡，不要羞辱我也不要责骂我，你记得小时后我曾编出多少理由，只为了哄你洗澡。当你看到我对新科技的无知，给我一点时间，不要挂着嘲弄的微笑看着我。我曾教了你多少事情啊，如何好好地吃，好好地穿，如何面对你的生命。如果交谈中我忽然失忆，不知所云，给我一点时间回想，如果我还是无能为力
20、，请不要紧张。对我而言重要的不是对话，而是能跟你在一起，和你的倾听。当我不想吃东西时，不要勉强我。我清楚知道该什么时候进食。当我的腿不听使唤，扶我一把，如同我曾扶着你踏出你人生的第一步。Section One Passages 短篇短篇第三篇第三篇Models for Appreciation and ImitationTwo roads diverged in a yellow wood,And sorry I could not travel bothAnd be one traveler,long I stoodAnd looked down one as far as I couldT

27、到一个特别的朋友;他只是你生活中的一部分内容，却能改变你整个的生活。他会把你逗得开怀大笑；他会让你相信人间有真情。他会让你确信，真的有一扇不加锁的门，在等待着你去开启。这就是永远的友谊。当你失意，当世界变得黯淡与空虚，你真正的朋友会让你振作起来，原本黯淡、空虚的世界顿时变得明亮和充实。你真正的朋友会与你一同度过困难、伤心和烦恼的时刻。你转身走开时，真正的朋友会紧紧相随，你迷失方向时，真正的朋友会引导你，鼓励你。真正的朋友会握着你的手，告诉你一切都会好起来的。Section Two Poems 诗歌诗歌第二首第二首Models for Appreciation and ImitationLook

30、Models for Appreciation and Imitation仰望群星仰望群星仰望群星的时分，我一清二楚，尽管它们关怀备至，我亦有可能赴地府，可是尘世间我们丝毫不必畏惧人类或禽兽的那份冷漠。倘若群星燃烧着关怀我们的激情，我们却无法回报，我们作何感想？倘若无法产生同样的感情，让我成为更有爱心的人。尽管我自视为群星的崇拜者，它们满不在乎，现在我看群星，我却难以启齿，说我成天思念一颗星星。倘若所有的星星消失或者消亡，我应该学会仰望空荡的天空，同时感受天空一片漆黑的崇高，虽然这样可能要花费一点时间。Section Two Poems 诗歌诗歌第三首第三首Models for Appreciation and ImitationSection Three Movies 电影电影Piece 1Models for Appreciation and ImitationSection Three Movies 电影电影Piece 2Models for Appreciation and ImitationSection Three Movies 电影电影Piece 3
