1.都是出名惹的祸俗话说“人怕出名猪怕肥”,成功人士孙悟空对此恐怕是最有感触的了。今天是“奥运吉祥物”的讨论,明天有“国产货与进口货”的争议,后天……孙悟空真是被各路“突如其来”的媒体、学术同胞们“照顾”得筋疲力尽,叫苦不迭。每当夜深人静的时候,孙悟空也会呆在自己的别墅里,静静地思索着“我是谁?”这个古老的哲学命题,他就是不明白:这个人啊,究竟是什么回事?是自己变得太快还是世界变化太大?遥想当年,自己在一个偏僻的山沟里不声不响地出世,尔后也不曾品味过什么母慈父爱,独自在山中“行走跳跃,食草木,饮涧泉,采山花,觅树果”,寒尽不知年,又有几人关注过呢?好在“穷人家的孩子早当家”,他自小便锻炼出了自力更生、白手起家的优秀品格,力求上进,还真打出自己的一片天地来呢,卓然成为国家栋梁之才。于是情况又来了个一百八十度的转弯,经常门庭若市,转折亲更是应接不暇,前后对比,境遇...
Marquise de Brinvilliersby Alexandre Dumas, PereTowards the end of the year 1665, on a fine autumn evening, there was a considerable crowd assembled on the Pont-Neuf where it makes a turn down to the rue Dauphine. The object of this crowd and the centre of attraction was a closely shut, carriage. A police official was trying to force open the door, and two out of the four sergeants who were with him were holding the horses back and the other two stopping the driver, who paid no attention to t
THE TWELVE DANCING PRINCESSESIONCE upon a time there lived in the village of Montignies-sur-Roc a little cow-boy, without either father or mother. Hisreal name was Michael, but he was always called the Star Gazer,because when he drove his cows over the commons to seek forpasture, he went along with his head in the air, gaping at nothing.As he had a white skin, blue eyes, and hair that curled all overhis head, the village girls used to cry after him, `Well, Star Gazer,...
2003年12月25日,圣诞节晚九点,上晚自习归来,我便接到来自工商银行总行人事部的电话。期盼已久的offer姗姗来迟,放下电话后,百感交集。三个月来的寻寻觅觅,从中学到很多,人也现实了许多,明白即使是“皇帝女儿”也有愁嫁的时候。我的专业是风险管理和保险学,但这并没有局限我的择业方向。决定就业于银行也很令许多本专业的师弟师妹们感到疑惑。是什么让我做这样的选择呢?一我实习的第一个单位是国家开发银行总行,简称开行。2002年陈元行长提出的实习生计划,对北大和清华的学生来说是非常宝贵的机会。开行实习生是通过学校的勤工助学中心招聘的,消息发布在bbs的sso版上。当时我读大二,看到这个消息后马上告诉了同学。因为开行是一家政策性银行,不同于在城市随处可见网点的商业银行,在普通人中知名度不高,所以最后只有我一个人跑去交了平生第一份简历。我想既然是个机会,那就试一试吧。...
中华异想集·马腹(第一部)作者: 藤萍内容简介 一切都在四月十三日的深夜变得不一样。风雨巷中那家驰名百年的顾家绣房发生了异变——主事的顾氏夫妻在等待着一个重要的客人,而这对夫妻俩的女儿去参加学校同学的生日宴会,可是当顾绿章晚上回家后,却发现古宅里已经空无一人,也没有打斗的痕迹、没有血的味道……难道三十几年前的事情又要再次发生?她的父母是否会像她的祖父母那样做完了最后一顿晚餐,穿得整整齐齐出门去了,在那之后就再也没有回来?这一切和那张没有绣完的裙幅有什么关系?六 角异味古董咖啡馆。唐草薇端着一杯红茶,闭着眼睛正在浅呷,李凤扆拿着拖把安详地拖地,咖啡馆里微微有些暗淡的光线和街道上缥缈的声音,让空旷的房间里充满着一种可供沉思的平静,仿佛在这里,心跳,也能变慢了、清晰了。...
--时空音乐之球 作者:向天朗第一回古堡 天上的月亮,闪烁著诡异的银蓝色光芒,落在草地上,反射出来的绿光,显得极度深邃、神秘。附近空无一人,微风偶尔飘过,草木发出沙沙的声响,并未带来生气,反平添一份孤寂,犹如处身深海之中,无依无靠。 在这种不见人烟的地方,竟传来一阵凄凉的笛声。笛音去而复反,高低起伏,音调却迟缓不定,渐见迷惘,似是奏曲者已经迷失方向,感到徘徊无助,不知不觉之间,从笛音中透露出来。没多久,一名正吹奏长笛的少年,缓缓走近。 身穿一套整齐西装,披著一件黑色长身冬袍的他,望了望四周,手中笛并未停止,心里却想∶「又是一片荒野。」想著,他抬起已呈乏力的双腿,不断的拖著向前行。别说月亮高挂天空中心,分不清东南西北,就是分清了,他也不知道该往何处走。走到哪儿都没有人烟,就连会走的生物也未曾得见,连续五天,他就是这样一边吹奏笛乐,一边在各种荒野之中,漫无目...
