Vitamin A - Breaks My Heart中文歌词
外文名称：《Breaks my heart》
歌曲时长：3:12
歌曲原唱：Vitamin A
歌曲语言：英文
英文歌词：
I try to see beyond just you and me
The place where I should be
But the truth I feel will be revealed
Whenever you"re around
Every time I see you
it just breaks my heart
How can I get used to us apart
When every time I see you
it just breaks my heart
I thought in time that you would leave my mind
But how can I forget
When you"re here so near
And though I try，it cannot be denied
Every time I see you it just breaks my heart
How can I get used to us apart
When every time I see you it just breaks my heart
How can I get over losing you
Every time I see you it just breaks my heart
Every time I see you it just breaks my heart
How can I get used to us apart
When every time I see you
中文歌词：
我想看到你和我
这里我应该
但我觉得真相将被揭示
当你在他身边
每一次我看到你
我很伤心
我怎样才能适应我们分开
当每一次我看到你
我很伤心
我认为时间
你会离开我的脑海
但我怎么能忘记
当你还在这里这么近
尽管我试了，但不可否认的
每一次我看到你
我很伤心
我怎样才能适应我们分开
当每一次我看到你
我很伤心
我如何失去你
每一次我看到你
我很伤心
每一次我看到你
我很伤心
我怎样才能适应我们分开
当每一次我看到你

The old woman smiled and said, 'Why are there flowers on your side of the road, but not on the other pot‘s side? That‘s because I have always known about your crack.

BHave you ever had an embarrassing(尴尬的)experience? Last week we asked readers to tell us about embarrassing experiences. We received thousands of letters! Here is a selection.
Tony:
My most embarrassing experience happened when I had just left university. I had just started teaching in a Liverpool secondary school. One morning my alarm clock didn‘t ring. I woke up at half past eight and school began at nine. I quickly washed, dressed, jumped into my car and rushed to school. When I arrived, the students had already gone into class. I didn‘t go to the office, but went straight into class. After two or three minutes the students began laughing, and I couldn‘t understand why! Suddenly I looked down and understood. I had put on one black shoe and one brown shoe!
Henry:
The most embarrassing experience I‘ve ever had, happened two years ago. After seeing a film, my wife and I had lunch in our favourite restaurant in town. Then we decided to take a walk along the street. The street was very busy and we started holding hands. Suddenly my wife saw a dress that she liked in a shop window, and stopped. I started looking at some watches in the next window. After a minute or two I reached for my wife‘s hand. There was a loud scream, and a woman slapped my face. I hadn‘t taken my wife‘s hand. I‘d taken the hand of a complete stranger!
James:
My wife and I had decided to buy a new house, and I‘d made an appointment to see our bank manager. I‘d never met him before. I went into town in my car and I was lucky enough to find a parking space outside the bank. I‘d just started reversing(倒车) into the space when another car made its way into it. I was irritated! I opened my window and shouted at the man in the car. He ignored me and walked away. It took me twenty minutes to find another place. As soon as I had parked the car, I rushed back to the bank. I was ten minutes late for my appointment. I went to the manager‘s office, knocked and walked in. The manager was sitting behind his desk. He was the man who had taken my parking space!

CRoosegaarde, an artist and designer from Dutch has thought of a device(装置). He hopes it will make Beijing‘s sky clear again and help the people with masks breathe fresh air again in Beijing.
An electromagnetic field(电磁场) will pull the dirty particles in the air to the ground, and then they can be easily cleaned.
Roosegaarde says, 'It‘s like when you have a balloon which has static electricity(静电) and your hair goes toward it. Smog happens the same way as the hair.'
His workplace has reached an agreement with the Beijing government to test the technology in one of the capital‘s parks. Beijing‘s skies are regularly covered by grey smog. Serious cases of air pollution are often reported in Beijing. Roosegaarde says an indoor test has already shown it works well and he is confident of the results. With the help of a team of scientists and engineers, he is sure that the device can be worked outside.
'Beijing is a very good place to test the device because the smog in Beijing is quite low and there‘s not so much wind.' says Roosegaarde. 'We‘ll be able to make the air pure but the most difficult thing is to remove the smog. As a result, you can see the sun again.'
Roosegaarde also reminds us that his aim is not only to give a plan to solve Beijing‘s dirty air pollution but also to make people pay attention to the environment problem. He adds, 'This is not the real answer for smog. The real answer to do with it is clean cars, different industry and different lifestyles. ' However, he hopes the project will make the citizens realize the differences between clean air and smog-filled air.
33. The device works by_______.
A helping keep the particles out with more masks
B. pulling particles to the ground with an electromagnetic field
C. absorbing hair with a balloon with static
D. creating clean air and letting it out into the sky
34. What does Roosegaarde use his device for?
A To make smog. B. To make the air clean
C. To make static electricity. D. To make Beijing‘s parks beautiful.
35. After reading the passage, we can know_______.
A the device doesn‘t work well indoors
B. the people with masks can breathe fresher air
C. Beijing government agreed to test the device
D. clean cars aren‘t helpful to the environment in Beijing
36. Roosegaarde hopes people in Beijing can_______.
A pay attention to air pollution and solve the problem finally
B. invent more devices to clean the smog in Beijing
C. drive modern cars and try different lifestyles
D. realize how serious the pollution they‘re facing is
DAccording to scientists‘ research, the month in which babies are born could affect them in some ways.
Babies born in spring get sick easily. Children born under Aquarius may be less clever than those born in other seasons. They may also have shorter lives than those born in autumn Scientists believe many of the differences can be explained by the mother‘s exposure to sunlight in pregnancy(怀孕). Sunlight helps lead to the production of Vitamin D in the body. The lack of this in the first months of life may have a bad effect on mental and physical health.
Vitamin D, called the 'sunshine vitamin', is known to help regulate(调节) thousands of genes during development, according to a study of more than two million people. So Vitamin D has a good effect on health This study showed that people born from April to June had slightly shorter lives than those born in October, November or December. Similar studies in the USA showed that people born in autumn lived about 160 days longer than those born in spring.
Professor Russell Foster, an Oxford University neuroscientist on seasonal biology, said the conclusions were surprising and interesting. He added, 'These are small effects but they are very, very clear. I am not giving voice to star signs and they are just for fun. But it is true that we are affected by our season of birth.'
37.A baby‘s season of birth doesn‘t affect its_______.
A health B height C length of life D. mind
38. According to the passage,_______ can help people get Vitamin D.
A. enough sleep B. enough sunlight
C fresh air D. suitable seasons
39. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. People born in spring may not be in good health.
B. Children born under Aquarius are cleverer than those born under Libra.
C. Professor Russell Foster is interested in star signs and believes in them
D. People born in May will live longer than those born in October.
40. What does the passage mainly tell us?
A. People can know the length of life by star sign.
B. Women should choose to give birth to children in spring.
C A child‘s season of birth has some effect on him or her.
D. Vitamin D is very important to people‘s health.

Graduation (Friends Forever)歌词大意
我们曾整夜讨论以后的生活，谈论25岁时我们会在哪里
我常常想时间会永远不变，常常想事物会亘古永久
可是当今年离开，我们就不再回来
不会再一起结伴出游，因为我们都将有自己的生活轨迹
如果你有什么要说，现在就说吧，因为你不再有机会
因为我们在一直往前走，不能放慢脚步
记忆那样清晰，像在播放无声电影
我常常想起六月的那个夜晚，我对爱还了解太少，但它却来得那样快
我和你，我们获得了浪漫跟自信。我们呆在家里煲着电话粥
我们那样激动，也那样的胆怯，自嘲自乐，愤青似的调侃生活的不公
这就是那时的感受
（合唱）
当生活继续，我们记得所有在一起的时光
当生活改变，无论发生什么我们依然永远是朋友
若我们找到一份好工作，赚很多很多的钱
当我们回顾今天，是否还会为今天玩笑发笑？
我们还会记得在学校里学到的一切么？
是否还努力打破每一条规则？
是否聪明的小鲍比会成为股票经纪人？
是否海泽尔会找到一份工作而不受她黝黑皮肤的影响？
我常常，常常想这并不是再见
而坚持认为这正是我们展翅飞翔的时机
这就是那时的感受
（合唱）
啦啦啦啦……我们依然是永远的朋友
明天我们是否会像现在一样考虑问题？
我们能否在社会上生存？我们能否小有成就？
我猜我想的这一切永远都不会结束
突然我们都好像变成了成熟的男人女人
是否过去会像影子一样将我们包围？
是否这些记忆会随着我的离开而褪色？
我常常，常常想这并不是再见
而坚持认为这正是我们展翅飞翔的时机
（合唱）（重复）

They may also have shorter lives than those born in autumn. Scientists believe many of the differences can be explained by the mother’s exposure to sunlight in pregnancy (怀孕). Sunlight helps lead to the production of vitamin D in the body. The lack (缺乏) of vitamin D in the first months of life may have a bad effect on health.
Vitamin D is called the “sunshine vitamin”. It has a good effect on health. A study showed that people born from April to June had slightly shorter lives than those born in October, November or December. Similar studies in the US showed that people born in autumn lived about 160 days longer than those born in spring.
Professor Russell Foster said the conclusions were surprising and interesting. He added, “These are small effects but they are very, very clear. I am not giving voice to star signs and they are just for fun. But it is true that we are affected by our season of birth.”

Pisces is the twelfth star sign. There is a legend about its name.
Long, long ago, there was a war between gods and a bad monster (怪物). It lasted ten years. One day, the gods were surprised to find that the monster was coming towards them. The goat god Pan shouted a warning and tried to change himself into a fish. One god, Aphrodite, took her little boy Eros and tried to hide among the bushes near Euphrates River. She was the god of love and her son was the god of war. It is said that two fish swam to carry Aphrodite and her child to safety. Some people also believe that Aphrodite and Eros changed into fish themselves and swam away to safety. Later the fish represent Aphrodite and her son Eros.
As they appeared in the sky, the two fish were tied together by a rope (绳子). Some said that Aphrodite tied the little boy to her body so that he would not get lost as they swam away to safety. That’s the story about Pisces.
In Western countries, some people believe people will share similar characteristics if they have the same star sign. So if you’re born between February 19th and March 20th, your star sign is Pisces. It means that you are generous, easy-going and creative.
