北海公园的建设源于一个古老的神话。据说，浩瀚的东海上有三座仙山，山上住着长生不死的神仙。汉朝有一个皇帝做起了长生梦，派人去东海寻找长生药。可一无所获，于是就下令在长安北面挖了一个大水池，池中堆起三座假山，自此以后历代皇帝都喜欢仿效"一池三山"的形式来建造皇家宫苑。北海采取的正是这种布局，园中有许多求仙的遗迹。
The construction of Beihai Park has to do with an old myth. As it goes, there were once immortalgods dwelling among three immortal mountains in East China Sea. During the Han Dynasty, there was an emperor who, driven by a dream for eternity, sent his men to the sea for elixirs but to no avail. So he ordered a big water pool to be dug to the north of Chang 'an City in which three artificial hills were built,Since then, almost all the emperors in China had been inclined to build their imperial palaces after the pattern of "three hills and one pool." Beihai Park was laid out in the same pattem, where one can find many places for seeking eternal life.经过多年探索，自主招生已经成为众多名校选拔人才的重要途径。但高成本、高起点的门槛使农村孩子明显居于不利地位。据一项调查表明，2010年从农村通过自主招生圆梦名校的人占总比例不足2%，有的学生即便通过了笔试，由于经济问题，也不得不放弃面试机会 农村孩子见识少，表达能力差，普通话都说不好，就是参加了面试，成功的也是凤毛麟角。After years of experiments, autonomous recruitment has become a major way for many famous colleges to enroll talented students. However, due to higher cost and stricter standards, it is clearly not advantageous for the children from the countryside. According to one study, the number of students whose college dream has come true through this way only accounts for less than 2%. Some students have to give up the interview due to financial pressure even when they have passed the written stage. Rural children have limited knowledge base and poor ability to express themselves and some of them can't speak decent Standard Chinese. Even when they come to the interview stage, only few of them can walk out successfully.
儿科护理工作很多人不爱干，因为累，需要付出时间和精力。工作总是需要有人来做的，既然要做，就要把它做好。我并没有觉得自己付出了太多，因为我觉得一个人实现自己的价值是多方面的，不能仅仅考虑金钱或报酬，就像衡量一个人是否幸福不能单纯用物质衡量一样。这份工作让我觉得自己做的事情都是有意义的，自己成为了一个对社会有用的人。

失败是成功之母。不经历风雨怎能见彩虹，纵观悠悠历史，失败的例子不胜枚举。几乎每一个人做每一件事，都可能失败。如果害怕失败，那么只能什么事也不干。只有不怕失败，才能不断进步，才能取得事业上的成功。失败与成功之间有一个艰难曲折的过程，有人曾把这个过程比作桥梁。古今中外有不少人就是通过这座桥梁，才走向了成功。
Failure is the mother of success. After the storm comes the rainbow. When we look back into our long history, there are numerous examples of failures. No matter what we do, almost everyone experiences failures. If we are afraid of failures, we will end up doing nothing. Only when we think nothing of failures will we make continuous progress and achieve success in our enterprises. There is a tortuous process between success and failure, which someone used to liken to a bridge. During ancient times as well as moderm times and both inside and outside China, we can find many people who have reached success by taking this bridge.
