一．Man’s dearest possession is life. It is given to him but once, and he must live it so as to feel no torturing regrets for wasted years, never know the burning shame of a mean and petty past; so live that, dying, he might say: all my life, all my strength were given to the finest cause in all the world—the fight for the Liberation of Mankind.
人生最宝贵的是生命。生命对于人来说只有一次。一个人的生命应该这样度过：当他回首往事时，不因虚度年华而悔恨；也不会因为碌碌无为而羞耻。在临死的时候他能够说：我的整个生命和全部精力都已经献给了世界上最壮丽的事业――为人类的解放事业而斗争！

二．Happiness lies not in the mere possession of money, it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative efforts, the joy and moral stimulation of work no longer must be forgotten in the mad chase of evanescent profits.

三．I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed-we hold theses truths to be self-Oevident, that all men are created equal. I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, sons of former slaves and sons of former slave ...
第八阶段总结
（6月7日——6月20日）
【妙儿的自我评价】
1、英语第十模块测试98分，“under”听成了“on”，判断错了；数学第九单元96分，一道填空题是因为粗心错了，一道计算题是理解错了。下个星期就要考试了，我要加紧复习，每天认真完成老师布置的作业，争取期末考一个好成绩。
2、端午节放假和妈妈一起去姥姥家，我们一起骑着三轮车去赶集，集市上真热闹呀！有许多卖衣服的、卖鞋子的、卖头花和卡子的，还有卖牲口的，我看到了各种各样的牛和羊，它们都被拴在树上，等着别人来买它。晚上吃完饭，我们又去捡麦穗，麦地里有很多漏下的麦穗，丢在地里会浪费，我们把它们都捡回家，这样就能节约一些粮食。
