“Excuse me! Could you tell me what is the most important day in our lives? Is it the day were born or the day we die? Is it the day we fall in love or the day we are successful?” A young man asked a wise man in the mountain. He wanted to ask for wisdom (智慧) of life.

“None. The most important day in our lives is today.” the wise man replied calmly.

“Why?” the young man was very surprised. “Is it because there is some unusual event taking place today?”

“No. Nothing has happened today.”

“So is it because of my visit?”

“Even if nobody visited me today, today is still very important, because today is the only wealth(财富) we have. No matter how important yesterday is, it has gone by; （73） no matter how wonderful tomorrow may be, it hasn't come; no matter how ordinary and boring today is, it is in our hands.”

The young man still wanted to ask something, but the wise man stopped him and said, “When we are talking about the importance of today, we have wasted a lot of it. That is to say, part of ‘today’ has passed.”

Having understood this, the young man nodded and then went down the mountain.（74） Actually today is the only wealth and chance we have. Therefore, what we should do now is to forget yesterday and tomorrow and catch hold of today!

【解析】

这篇短文主要通过一个年轻人和一个智者的对话，讲述了今天的重要性，告诉我们今天是我们拥有的唯一财富。我们要忘记昨天和明天，快速地抓住今天。

【1】根据文中“Excuse me! Could you tell me what is the most important day in our lives? Is it the day were born or the day we die? Is it the day we fall in love or the day we are successful?” A young man asked a wise man in the mountain.“打扰了！你能告诉我我们生命中最重要的一天是什么吗？是出生的那天还是我们死的那天？是我们坠入爱河的那一天，还是我们成功的那一天？”一个年轻人问山上的一个智者。可知，他是想知道人生中最重要的一天是哪天，故答案为Because he wanted to know what is the most important day in our lives.

【2】根据文中Having understood this, the young man nodded and then went down the mountain.明白了这一点，年轻人点了点头，然后下山去了。可知他明白了，故答案为Yes, he did.

【3】no matter how是引导让步状语从句的连词，表示“无论怎样”；wonderful 是“精彩的”；tomorrow是“明天”； may be是“可能是”；it代替的是前面提到的tomorrow， hasn’t come是现在完成时的结构，表示“还没有来”，综合之后，可以翻译成：不论明天多么精彩，它还没有到来。

【4】Actually是“事实上”；today是“今天”；is “是”；the only是“唯一的”；wealth是“财富”；and是“和”；chance是“机会”；we have是定语从句，表示“我们拥有”；所以综合之后，应该翻译为：事实上，今天是我们所拥有的唯一财富和机会。

【5】根据整篇文章的理解可知，本文通过一个年轻人去拜访住在深山中的一位智者的故事告诉人们今天就是我们拥有的唯一的财富和机会。因此，我们现在应该做的就是忘记昨天和明天，抓住今天！故答案为The most important day in our lives is today.

【题目】 The Double Ninth Festival is a special day for older people in China. It started long ago. The festival is on lunar September 9th. Activities are held to show love and respect to old people.

Respecting(尊敬) older people is a tradition in China. That’s because the Chinese know that older people have knowledge and experience that young people can learn. There are many ways in which Chinese people express their respect. When an older person enters a room, everyone stands up. People are introduced from the oldest to the youngest. When we present a book to an older person, both hands are used. Young people always offer their seats to older people on a crowded(拥挤的) subway or bus.

In Western countries, however, older people seldom think they are old. They are called “seniors” instead of “old people”. They’d rather do everything themselves. Even after retirement(退休)they take up hobbies, part-time jobs and new activities to keep their bodies working well. But of course among westerners older people are respected, too. Usually, seniors don’t have to buy tickets for trains and buses. They are given discount(打折) in stores and restaurants.

But western seniors don’t often live with their children alone. For holidays, the families usually meet at their grandparents’ home, and a great smile and a warm hug for their parents are enough for grown children to show their respect.
