读书时所摘录的几个片段
花了一段的时间读完了两本书。其中的一本是在去年时读的，在那一本书里讲的都是跑马拉松的事情。书中介绍了人们参加跑步的年龄不同， 但是她们都是带着一种精神去参加跑步活动的。她们把跑马拉松当成了一种意志上和体魄上的锻练。我在读那本书的时候，曾经被他们的精神深深的感动过。同时那本书还使我想起了自己在学业上失败的时候， 曾经花了好几年的时间，开始选修不同的功课，后来选修的分数都超过了一百分，可是最后却没有完成学业。当时的那种功亏一篑的打击实在是太大了。我在那一段的期间里，连电视都不想看。后来幸亏家里有一只小猫咪的陪伴，另外就是观看奥林匹克的录影带，还有就是爱人的耐心讲解和安慰。否则的话真不知道如何度过那段痛苦的时间。可以说在我的人生道路是一个很大的挫折。有一次去一元店买东西时，在一个摆着书本的角落里，我发现了那本有关跑马拉松的书。在书里面讲的都是真人真事。一般来说，凡是励志或者鼓舞人的书，我都是很喜欢看的。因为我觉得，在困境里，一个人要勇敢的面对不公平的对待，所以要有一个坚定的信念。可以说在人生的道路上总会有风风雨雨的，有的风雨是自然的， 有的困境是人为的。可是不论生活中的风雨有多么的险恶，只要有一个坚定的信心， 努力工作，努力学习；永远都不要放弃自己，不论做什么事情都要好好的做，只要问心无愧就行。可能会有人对你撒出流言， 也可能会有人把你推进粪坑。。。可是你知道自己不是那种下贱之人。实际上的你是一个积极向上，热爱生活，真诚待人的人。
另外要有感恩之心在风雨中相遇的人，因为曾经有求于人，还有大家都曾经有过真情实意。可是在思想和观点的不同，那就只好在遥遥的相望中互相祝福。坚持保护环境的观点，歌唱美丽的大自然，为世界的和平添砖加瓦。所以我真诚的希望大家能够珍惜友谊，不要把个人的观点强加于她人的头上。。。一个人一定要有一种信念：自尊自重自爱自强。因为代表了一个人的灵魂。在读书的过程中，虽然遇到了一些生词，而且读的也慢，但还是一点一点的读完了。其中个别的片段随手摘录在这里。（在一元店里还买到了两盘奥林匹克的带子，大峡谷的带子，一百首儿童歌曲CD盘等）
下面的段落摘引是来自一本小说：《Courage for Beginners》
(" Saturday before sunrise. When it is time, I go outside in the backyard. You can hear them coming by the sounds of hot air. A sea of hot-air balloons sailing over our neighborhood. They come in this direction every year. They start at a park miles from here, and then float over rooftops all around town. They are like quiet surprises. I look forward to this day like Christmas. It is one small thing in my life that has not changed...I sit down on the dry grass and then lie flat next to the vegetables so that I can watch the balloons.
There are at least fifty of them in the sky now, or so it seems. When they are silently floating and not pulling the lever to release hot air into the balloon, you can almost believe they aren't real things, but painted right onto the sky. Silently gliding. Peacefully sailing. Not in this world with problems, but above it where they are only concerned with air. Only traveling as fast as the wind blows."
(在这本书里，那个作者是在德克萨斯长大，她在书中描述了自己在中学期间成长的故事，她希望把自己的性格特色通过书中的故事表现出来。她的内心是在矛盾中成长的。在生活中，她的内心一直是在自卑和自信中徘徊着，最后当她在一个朗诵比赛中获得了成功后，她感觉到自己的自信战胜了自卑。）
下面的段落摘引是来自《Running the Crim》这本书里，
" The next morning we took our position near the back of the starting line and felt great about it. I was energized by all the excitement . Early in the race, I decided to pass an older gentleman, but he soon did the same to me, so I had to pass him again. By the time the race was over, I learned that he had just celebrated his seventy-fifth birthday and had run twenty-nine marathons. He never ran until he was fifty-three. "
“All of my life, since I was a little girl, I was very shy. In fact, I would say painfully shy. I was extremely quiet and my interests consisted mainly of reading and blending into the background. I never drew attention to myself in any way, shape, or form. At times, I deliberately took the long way to my next class, even if it meant being tardy, to avoid the hallway where the boys sat along the benches and watched the girls go by. Some of my peers believed me to be stuck up or stand-offish, which was so ridiculous, because it was totally not the case 。。。
Much to my surprise and delight, I loved my running group. I was astonished at how many wonderful people I met that first summer and how many of them continue to be my great friends. I looked forward to every Tuesday night run. It was actually more fun than I could have imagined. Even when it was really hard, I loved it. I fallowed the fifteen week training the calendar religiously, and I ran/walked my first Crim in 2001. I fell in love with the race and the people I met along the way. I couldn't bear the thought of it all being over after the Crim. Many of my new friends from the training program along with my husband and me, continued to run and walk through the winter that first year and every year since that 2001 training season...”
在《Running the Crim》这本书里所写的都是真实的故事。 在书里描述的故事中都是来自不同年龄和不同性别方面的人。而且在大体上都有相似的经历过程。那就是在开始跑步的过程中，大家由试跑变成了对跑步的热爱，因为通过跑步既锻练了身体和意志，同时也增进了友谊。我在上面摘选的一个片段是一个女子在参加马拉松跑步时的故事。她说自己是一个性格很孤僻且害羞的人。尤其是在上中学期间表现得更明显。她说最害怕的就是在学校的走廊里的走过，因为她害怕那些走廊里男生们的眼光和议论。而自卑的心理就象一块阴云笼罩在她的心头。而且她不喜欢任何体育活动，她认为自己不超重，尽管身材不那么的完美，也没有必要去参加什么体育活动。到了成年之后，在有机会参加马拉松体育锻练的活动中，开始时，她是带着一种尝试的心态参加了跑步队。可是没有想到的是，马拉松活动对她的影响很大。到了后来，她不仅喜欢马拉松跑步锻练活动，而且她也喜欢跑步队里的朋友们。
