明朝未及，我只有过好每一个今天，唯一的今天。
昨日的明天是今天。明天的昨日是今天。为什么要计较于过去呢（先别急着纠正我的错误，你确实可以在评判过去中学到许多）。但是我发现有的人过分地瞻前顾后了。为 何不想想“现在”呢？为何不及时行乐呢？如果你的回答是“不”，那么是时候该重新考虑一下了。成功的最大障碍是惧怕失败。这些句子都教育我们：不要惧怕失败。如 果你失败了他不会坐下来说：“靠，我真失败，我放弃。”并且不是一个婴儿会如此做，他们都会反反复复，一次一次地尝试。如果一条路走不通，那就走走其他途径，不 断尝试。惧怕失败仅仅是社会导致的一种品质，没有人生来害怕失败，记住这一点。宁愿做事而犯错，也不要为了不犯错而什么都不做。不一定要等到时机完全成熟才动手。 开头也许艰难，但是随着时间的流逝，你会渐渐熟悉你的事业。世上往往没有完美的时机，所以当你觉得做某事还不是时候，先做起来再说吧。喜欢追梦的人，切记不要被 梦想主宰；善于谋划的人，切记空想达不到目标；拥有实干精神的人，切记选对方向比努力做事重要。太阳不会因为你的失意，明天不再升起；月亮不会因为你的抱怨，今 晚不再降落。蒙住自己的眼睛，不等于世界就漆黑一团；蒙住别人的眼睛，不等于光明就属于自己！鱼搅不浑大海，雾压不倒高山，雷声叫不倒山岗，扇子驱不散大雾。鹿 的脖子再长，总高不过它的脑袋。人的脚指头再长，也长不过他的脚板。人的行动再快也快不过思想！以前认为水不可能倒流，那是还没有找到发明抽水机的方法；现在认 为太阳不可能从西边出来，这是还没住到太阳从西边出来的星球上。这个世界只有想不到的，没有做不到的！不是井里没有水，而是挖的不够深；不是成功来的慢，而是放 弃速度快。得到一件东西需要智慧，放弃一样东西则需要勇气！终而复始，日月是也。死而复生，四时是也。奇正相生，循环无端，涨跌相生，循环无端，涨跌相生，循环 无穷。机遇孕育着挑战，挑战中孕育着机遇，这是千古验证了的定律！种子放在水泥地板上会被晒死，种子放在水里会被淹死，种子放到肥沃的土壤里就生根发芽结果。选

高中英语Unit 1 课文重难点解析新人教版选修8
高中英语Unit 1 课文重难点解析新人教版选修8Unit 1 课文重难点解析选修8Unit 1 课文重难点解析在新人教版选修8的第一单元中，有一篇名为《Health》的课文，本文将对该课文进行重难点解析。
本单元的课文以“健康”为主题，主要围绕人们如何保持健康展开论述。
下面将从课文的结构、语法、词汇、阅读理解和写作技巧等方面进行解析。
一、课文结构《Health》这篇文章共分为三个部分，分别是“Warming up”、“Reading”和“Language points”。
每个部分都有不同的设计和重点。
其中，“Warming up”部分通过与学生的互动帮助学生进入主题，并激发对健康话题的兴趣。
而“Reading”部分则是通过一篇关于健康的文章，让学生了解更多有关保持健康的知识。
最后的“Language points”部分对语法、词汇和阅读理解中出现的难点进行了总结和阐述。
这种结构使得学生可以在不同层面上掌握相关知识。
二、语法解析在这篇课文中，存在一些语法知识点，让我们一起来进行解析。
1.名词的复数形式在课文中有一句“Not only is it imp ortant to keep a healthy mind, but itis also important to keep healthy bodies.”，这里的“bodies”是“body”的复数形式，表示多个身体。
这提醒我们英语中的名词有单数和复数之分，需要根据具体情况使用正确的形式。
2.动词的时态在课文中有一句“Exercise helps to keep the heart healthy and prevents heart disease.”中的“helps”和“prevents”都是动词的第三人称单数形式，表示一般现在时。
这表明英语动词根据主语的不同需使用相应的时态形式。
3.形容词的比较级和最高级形式在课文中有一句“Exercise and a balanced diet are important, but sleeping well is even more important.”这里的“more important”和“even more important”表示比较级和最高级形式，用于进行比较。
