Me saca de quicio que me hagan esperar

生命之河里的石头
所有父母都会伤害孩子，谁都没法避免。孩子就像洁净的玻璃杯，拿过它的人会在上面留下手印。
父母很少会对他们的孩子放手，所以孩子就对父母放手。他们向前走，他们向远处走。
那些曾经让他们感到自身价值的东西——母亲的赞同，父亲的点头——都已经被他们取得的成绩替代。
直到很久以后，当他们的皮肤变得松弛了，心脏变得衰弱了，他们才会明白：他们的故事和他们所有的成就，都是基于父母的经历建立起来的，就像生命之河里的石头，层层叠叠。

学习重点：比喻
1.生命之河 （人生，生命）
2.孩子就像洁净的玻璃杯，拿过它的人会在上面留下手印。（手印-影响）
3.他们向前走 ，向远处走。（离开父母）
4.父亲的点头。（同意、认同）
5.皮肤变得松弛了，心脏变得衰弱了。（老了）
6.生命之河里的石头。（人生的经历）

Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation | TOEFL Study

CONNIE: Oh! What a beautiful cat. What do you think?
GARY: I think I’d rather get a dog. Dogs are more loyal than cats.
CONNIE: Yes, but they’re so much work! Would you be willing to walk 
it every single day? And clean up after it?
GARY: Hmm. Good point. What about a bird? Or a fish?
CONNIE: We’d have to invest a lot of money in a cage or a fish tank. 
And I don’t really know how to take care of a bird or a fish!
GARY: Well, we’re obviously not ready to get a pet yet.
CONNIE: Yeah, you’re right. Let’s go grab some coffee and talk 
about it.


LANGUAGE NOTES
• Oh! What a beautiful cat “Oh!” is used to show surprise or excitement. “What a …” is 
an expression that means “I think this is a very …” “What a(n) …” is followed by an 
adjective, which is usually emphasized. Notice the emphasis on “beautiful” here.
• Dogs are more loyal than cats. Two things are being compared here (dogs and 
cats). Notice the structure of the sentences: (noun/s) plus “is/are more” plus 
(adjective) plus “than” plus (noun/s). The nouns and the adjective are content words 
here, so they are all emphasized.
• Every single day Notice that each word here is stressed. The speaker wants to make 
a point, so she emphasizes each word equally. “Every single day” is a lot!
• Good point here means “I agree with you.”
• Take care of This phrase is used with animals, people and things. It can mean 
“watch a child while her parents are away,” “feed and house someone or 
something,” or “make sure things work properly.” (I always take care of my baby 
brother./ I take care of my bird by feeding it and cleaning its cage./ I need to take 
care of the broken sink.)
• Yeah, you’re right. Notice the pronunciation of this expression — the words all 
blend together here. This casual expression is used to agree with someone that you 
know well.

Day 26: At the pet store

En este cuento verás lo que le ocurrió un día a un burro que
ya no quiso andar más porque no tenía ganas.

Antes de comenzar la lectura:

1. ¿Qué le ocurre a un polo cuando lo sacamos del
congelador?

2. ¿Qué les ocurre a los cubitos de hielo
cuando los ponemos en un vaso de agua?

3. ¿Qué le ocurrió al burrito con el hielo?
Adivínalo.

 Presta atención a la lectura de tu profesora.

Era invierno, hacía mucho frío y todos los caminos
estaban helados. El asno, que estaba cansado, no se
encontraba con ganas para caminar hasta el establo.

—iEa, aquí me quedo, ya no quiero andar más —se dijo, dejándose
caer al suelo.

Un hambriento gorrioncillo fue a posarse cerca de su oreja y le dijo;

—Asno, buen amigo, ten cuidado; no estás en el camino, sino en un
lago helado.

—¡Déjame, tengo sueño! Y con un largo bostezo, se quedó dormido.
Poco a poco, el calor de su cuerpo comenzó a fundir el hielo hasta
que, de pronto, se rompió con un gran chasquido.

El asno despertó al caer al agua y empezó a pedir socorro, pero nadie
pudo ayudarlo, aunque el gorrión quiso, pero no pudo.
